Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Mother Jia didn't know her whereabouts here, so she tried her best to chat with the Queen Mother, talk about the family's shortcoming, and tried her best to cooperate with the Queen Mother's conversation. After all, Jiamu is not an ordinary woman. Regarding the grandson and great-grandson, the empress dowager also talked about her grandchildren, and the two old ladies became more and more speculative as they talked.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a communication from outside: "The female official of the collection hall is asking to see the empress dowager."

The empress dowager raised her head and said, "Quickly call in!"

Mother Jia didn't know about it at the moment and wanted to avoid it.

The Empress Dowager stopped her: "It's alright, the Yongle Canon will be republished in the palace, and I'll send someone a set for your disciples."

Mother Jia was overjoyed when she heard the words, and was busy thanking her.

The female officer gave a standard half-kicking salute to the queen mother: "The courtier pays homage to the queen mother, the mother is a thousand years old!" Behind her followed four young eunuchs, all holding brand-new bookcases in their hands.

Mother Jia was stunned when she heard the words, and trembled all over in an instant, her eyes fixed on the half-stretched figure.

The Empress Dowager ordered to the eunuch in charge at the door: "You guys put away your books and invite these children to have some snacks!"

The empress dowager is kind, and she loves these disabled children the most, so everyone didn't doubt what she said, but went happily.Even if it is an honor to serve in front of the empress dowager, how can I go back to my own room to be at ease.

Here Jia Yuanchun got up, and suddenly saw Jia Mu when he looked up, he was stunned, his eyes were full of surprise, she touched her eyes, as if she was afraid that her eyes would be dazzled, and immediately, Yuanchun's tears burst into her eyes, she thought she would be stuck here for the rest of her life, and would never see her relatives again face.

The Empress Dowager understood Yuan Chun's mood very well, stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Jia, this is an old sister whom I haven't seen for many years. You are in charge of serving lunch, so don't treat my distinguished guests slowly!"

Yuan Chun laughed with tears: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness, I will never forget it!"

The Empress Dowager sent people to lead Jiamu, grandma and grandchildren to the side hall, arranged a separate small courtyard for them to meet, and told her subordinate Madam Wu: "Don't disturb them after lunch, just send the food box to the side hall. Instruct the Imperial Dining Room to entertain guests in this palace today, let them show their skills, if they do well, this palace will reward them with great rewards!"

Grandma Wu responded and left.

The nurse in charge, Zhen Zhen, stepped forward to ask for instructions: "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, do you want to tidy up Miss Zhen's yard?"

Zhen Zhen was the queen mother's personal girl since she was a child. Because she encountered the husband's withdrawal when she entered the palace, she looked down upon her from then on and never married.

"I want it!" The empress dowager looked at her with a relaxed expression, and pulled up the homework: "Hey, Jia'er and his wife are very thoughtful, what can such a girl get in the way of them, I knew that the girl had been found, and when I saw me, I cried out." It's chilling to keep silent, a family, if everyone learns from him, what future does the family have?"

Zhen Zhen comforted: "The children of the Zhen family are taken care of by the empress dowager, who would dare to bully them?" Under the sun, if there were not two juniors, I dare say that within ten years, the Jia family would definitely be defeated."

Zhen Zhen whispered: "Didn't Young Master Rong of Ning Mansion reject Zhongyi County Prince's Mansion?"

The queen mother nodded: "That's why I said, maybe these two juniors are the turning point of the Jia family, but I don't know where the turning point is for the Zhen family. I can protect them for a while, and I can protect them for a lifetime? Is it possible to think that the Zhen family will come out again?" Empress?"

Zhen Zhen choked up immediately, everyone knew that this was impossible, when the emperor was able to overthrow Prince Zhongyi and the head of the state made great achievements, relatively speaking, Cheng Engong of the Zhen family was just sitting back and reaping the rewards.

The Empress Dowager smiled wryly: "Men don't study, learn martial arts, and don't think about making progress. If they rely on their daughter's body to change their future, they are not ashamed!"

If Zhen Yingyu heard these words, she might not be able to live. She has always advertised that love is the most important thing, and she would never die.

Zhen Zhen looked around for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, you must not let the young lady hear this, or she will be afraid."

Zhen Yingyu would die of shame!

The empress dowager frowned: "She is a good child. I missed her. At that time, I only wanted to make up for my mother's family. We were not welcomed back then, and they also suffered a lot. Hey, it turned out like this. It's fate!"

Looking back, she said that Jia Mu and Yuan Chun, grandparents and grandchildren entered the small yard, and the mother left outside. Just as Yuan Chun was about to salute Jia Mu, Jia Mu pulled him into her arms, rubbed Yuan Chun's head and neck, and cried: "My son , It’s hard for you, you miss me to death!”

Yuan Chun couldn't hold back anymore, and burst into tears: "Grandmother, I miss you too, and I miss Baoyu at home. I'm counting and suffering day by day here, and I can't bear it any longer. Grandma, why are you living like this? Time is the head!"

Mother Jia cried with tears in her eyes: "My son, my heart is so distressed, grandma's heart is melted, my son, you have suffered, it is all because of my incompetence..."

During this meeting in the palace, both of them cried so much that they almost fainted. It was Yuan Chun who had lived in the palace for a long time and knew that this was not a place to vent wantonly. I didn’t see my grandma for a long time, and I felt aggrieved, so I cried. In fact, I couldn’t see my relatives freely here, and everything was fine with food, drink, clothing, and everything was fine for my granddaughter. I just missed my grandmother and wanted to see Baoyu’s sisters. "

Hearing this, Jia's mother guessed that Yuan Chun already knew about Wang's affairs, because she said, "It's also because I indulged your mother too much in the past, which made her have no scruples, and actually attacked Feng girl, which chilled the hearts of your uncles." , Hey, it's grandma who is sorry for you, but even though your mother can't be a director now, her life is safe at last!"

Yuan Chun burst into tears immediately: "Don't blame grandma, I'm the one who dragged mother down, otherwise mother wouldn't have plotted against uncle, it's all my fault, I really regret it, if I lost the election, it will probably be a different situation now, There is no need to be separated from each other, and the family will be fine."

Looking at Yuan Chun, Jia's mother struggled in her heart, and finally said: "There is nothing to do, it's better..."

Yuan Chun shook his head: "Now it's not about whether I want to or not, but the Empress will not let go. The day before yesterday she asked me for [-] silver, saying that the princesses of mangzhong want to enjoy flowers and send them to the God of Flowers. I should take it a little longer. She was not happy. Originally, on February [-]nd in the early spring, I gave [-] silver to the princesses to welcome the Flower God. The queen promised to transfer me to the Kunning Palace as a female official. Hold."

Jiamu's face twitched: "It costs ten thousand silver to greet the Flower God and send it to the Flower God? Why doesn't she go grab it?"

Yuan Chun shook his head: "Why does she need to snatch her, as long as there is one word, someone will give it to you with both hands! Isn't that what I was like at the beginning, don't even think about getting off the pirate ship, otherwise there will be endless troubles for you."

Jia Mu held Yuan Chun's hand but trembled: "She is also from everyone, so she is so greedy!"

Yuan Chun said: "Because you are Yangchun Baixue, you have been imprisoned in this palace for a long time, and you have become like this. A group of people are chasing after an emperor. If you can't catch up with the emperor, you can only seek compensation from other places."

Mother Jia's tears fell on Yuan Chun's hands: "What should I do? This is not like raising a little ghost. If something goes wrong, it will come back!"

Yuan Chun nodded: "That's exactly what I said, so I can't withdraw. In the past five years, the Wang and Jia families have invested no less than 30 yuan in money. If I withdraw, how will these debts be wiped out? Therefore, the granddaughter has no way out. There is no way forward!"

Mother Jia was stunned, yes, for the money, the Wang family violated the law and was abolished by the Wang family, the brothers in the Rong Mansion were at odds with the mother and son, and now they are retreating, the loss outweighs the gain?

Mother Jia was caught in a dilemma, and whispered softly: "But, girl Yuan, have you ever thought about how this kind of thing can be forced? I looked at Miss Zhen's family today, and it seemed that she was thinking the same way. She has the support of the Queen Mother. You How can you win over her? If you want to leave the palace, the money you owe to the Wang family will be taken care of by your grandmother, and I have saved a lot of furniture over the years, including the farm shop, 20 can still be scraped together!"

In Yuanchun's heart, Jiamu's things are for Baoyu, and it's too late for her to love Baoyu, so how can she fight for what belongs to him?Yuan Chun shook his head: "Grandma doesn't want it, how can I let my grandma have nothing for myself, and lose my thoughts for the rest of my life?"

Much of Jia's mother's dowry was the dowry of the old Bowling Hou Shangshuling's wife, so Yuan Chun said it was just thinking about it.

Hearing this, Mother Jia felt even more distressed: "As long as you are well, grandma will be willing to do anything."

Hearing this, Yuan Chun felt that all the suffering in the past was worth it, at least her grandmother loved her dearly and was willing to give up her entire family to help her.In fact, Yuan Chun didn't want to touch the blood in the palace before, so he used money to calm the Queen's desire. Once Yuan Chun was willing to intervene in the private affairs of the palace, the Queen would naturally regard her as one of her own.

Yuan Chun looked at his hands and felt a shudder in his heart.

For a while, a little eunuch came to deliver food boxes, which broke the dullness between grandparents and grandchildren. Later, Yuanchun Xiaoyi served Jiamu, and the grandparents began to chat about some light topics. He wanted to see him, but the queen mother didn't arrange it, so Yuan Chun didn't dare to be self-absorbed, thinking that he would hide in the dark and take a look later.

After dinner, the grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a while, and a young eunuch reported at the door: "The queen mother has set up a meal, and the ladies are looking for the old lady Shi."

Jia Mu's eyes darkened immediately, the empress dowager didn't want Yuan Chun to show up in front of everyone.

Yuan Chun's eyes turned red, and he knelt in front of Jia's mother and kowtowed three times: "Granddaughter pays respects to grandma, I hope grandma is in good health and good fortune continues!"

Mother Jia had been prepared for a long time, and took out a stack of banknotes from her arms: "This is 5 taels, which is the cash that grandma has saved over the years. You take the support first, and grandma will think about it in the future."

Yuan Chun refused again and again before putting it away, tears dripping from his eyes: "It's all due to my granddaughter's unfilial piety, and the old lady has to worry about it even at her age!".

"You silly boy, who is your grandmother, if you don't worry about you, worry about you for whom!"

Suddenly Jia's mother remembered something: "Oh, you probably don't know that both Lian'er and Rong'er from Dongfu have selected the imperial guards. Now Lian'er is on night duty. The duty time is from Wushi to Haishi, and Rong'er is from Maoshi to Chenshi. , if you have difficulties in the future, you can try to contact them."

Of course Yuan Chun knew about Jia Lian and Jia Rong, but her uncle Wang Ziteng repeatedly warned that now that Jia Lian and Jia Rong are not on a firm footing, so many eyes are on them, so if there is nothing unusual about Yuan Chun, don't be easily alarmed.

Therefore, unless life and death are at stake in Yuanchun, Jia Lian and Jia Rong are not allowed to be involved, lest these two families be caught in a palace struggle.

It has to be said that Yuan Chun is more far-sighted than Wang's and pays more attention to family interests.

In Yuan Chun's eyes, the family men like Jia Lian, Bao Yu, and Jia Rong are the future of the family and the support of the sisters, not Wang's short-sightedness, who only has his own interests in mind, and regards Jia Lian as an enemy, even for the sake of seizing the title , wanting to exterminate Jia Lian's heirs.

Wang Ziteng dealt with the Wang family with his own hands, and he would definitely tell the truth about Jia Yuanchun, the future mother whom he personally supported. Otherwise, once Yuan Chun felt resentment and turned against each other, the whole Wang family would lose more than it gained.

Therefore, Yuan Chun disapproved of her mother's practice of killing chickens and taking eggs. Regarding Wang's fate, apart from feeling sad as a child, she did not feel aggrieved.

This is also the reason why Yuanchun can become a virtuous concubine, but Wang can only run around.No wonder Wang Ziteng looked down on her and regretted making the wrong kiss.

But it is said that Mother Jia returned to the Hall of Yangxing and thanked the Queen Mother a thousand times.

Because the Empress Dowager wanted to have a close relationship with Zhen Yinglian, Zhen Yinglian was missing on the way back.

Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian ate and slept together for more than half a year, and they were very sad to be separated for a while, and looked back frequently.

Zhen Yinglian also chased out of Ningshou Palace, her mouth flattened and she wanted to cry.The empress dowager's eyes were red, and she wanted to keep Daiyu. Jia's mother only treated Daiyu like a sigh of relief, and she was afraid she would not let her go.

The queen mother had no choice but to comfort her softly: "In a few days, after your yard is repaired, you can take your sisters into the palace to play, or you can go to Jia's mansion to visit them, but before that, you have to learn court etiquette first." , but also to cut clothes and make jewelry, to meet your cousins ​​and aunts, and when you get busy, you won’t have time to be sad.”

Zhen Yinglian was so frightened that she tugged on the Queen Mother's sleeve and looked eagerly at the Queen Mother: "Cousin Uncle and Auntie? That's not the Emperor and Queen, can I not see you?"

Seeing that she was pitiful and her beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled into balls, the queen mother couldn't help being happy, and smoothed her brows: "Don't be afraid, you are not a minister, but a relative of your own family. If there is me, they dare not scare you!"

Zhen Yinglian could only nod obediently: "Oh!"

The Empress Dowager said again: "Speaking of which, there is an acquaintance in this palace who is going to live in soon, do you know who it is?" Zhen Yinglian's heart lit up, and she immediately became happy: "I know, it's Sister Liuyue, when will she enter the palace? "

The queen mother smiled and said: "They will get married in August, but you need to change your name. From now on, you will call her the eldest emperor's wife, and on important occasions, you will call her the eldest prince concubine!"

Zhen Yinglian frowned again, why is it so complicated?

The queen mother scratched her pretty nose: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to teach you these court etiquettes later!"

Zhen Yinglian didn't dare to refute, she begged in a low voice: "I will live with my grandmother and aunt, I won't go out!"

This means that I don't go out to meet people, I only live with my aunt in Ningshou Palace, so I don't have to learn the rules, and I don't see the emperor or queen.Zhen Yinglian has read about the emperor's character in the drama, and it's scary that he ransacks his family, exterminates his family, and cuts off people's heads every now and then.

Zhen Yinglian thought it was better to stay away from him.

The Queen Mother immediately laughed, but in her heart she really liked Zhen Yinglian's lack of desire and desire. She was pitiful for her being displaced since she was a child, but she kept a simple and innocent face. The Queen Mother loved this grandniece and granddaughter even more.

This palace is good at calculating and can live very well. A daughter like Zhen Yinglian who has no desires and desires, as long as she does not want to squeeze into the harem like Zhen Yingyu, can also live very well under the protection of the empress dowager .

Zhen Yinglian's requirements are not high, and her experience since she was a child allows her to go with the situation. Apart from missing Daiyu and her sisters, she has a good life in the palace and is loved by the queen and all the concubines. When her courtyard is repaired On the day of warming up the house, not only all the wives and wives of the emperor gave gifts, but even the Supreme Emperor came to join in the fun, knowing that Zhen Yinglian was studying poetry and painting, and rewarded many study decorations.

This is not an ordinary thing, maybe it was the emperor's temporary idea, although the things are expensive, they are all different and different.

Moyu jelly paperweight, old pit inkstone, purple jade brush washer, ivory carved bamboo-shaped lotus pond flower and bird picture arm rest and pen holder, ivory lettering ink bed, gold-painted red sandalwood ink box, Jingdezhen blue and white glazed lotus chamber water drop pen holder , an inkstone box made of rosewood, a Qingtian stone stamp, and a gilt copper silk screen box with inlaid gold.

Fortunately, Zhen Yinglian lived with Daiyu for half a year. The things in Daiyu's study are very particular, and it can be said that they are complete.

Seeing the reward from the emperor, the empress dowager couldn't help but secretly rejoice: This old thing is more and more free-wheeling!

The Empress Dowager was blaming the Supreme Emperor for giving things that were random, colorful, and complicated in texture, but she was happy for Zhen Yinglian, the Supreme Emperor easily refused to reward his children and grandchildren, lest they think they should be different and have undue thoughts.

Now Yinglian is being rewarded, firstly because she is a girl and has nothing to do with court battles, secondly because she is making face for the Empress Dowager, thirdly it may not mean that she is lonely.

It must be known that the Supreme Emperor dared not show his love and pity to his children and grandchildren easily, and there was nowhere to release his feelings of being fond of his grandchildren.

The empress dowager is very proud, women also have the advantages of women, they can't turn clouds and rain to point the country, but they can play tricks on their grandchildren.

This is something.

Turning around, he said that Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and his uncles and nephews were waiting at the gate of Qianqing. Because the relationship between Jia's mansion and the empress dowager had been estranged for a long time, and they didn't know how Jia's mother was meeting with them, they didn't dare to leave easily. The little eunuch brought the food box and told Zhen Yinglian that the marriage was successful, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, uncle and nephew were relieved.

If the recognition of relatives is not smooth, the Jia family will be charged with ulterior motives.This is why Jia Lian did not take the initiative to send Zhen Yinglian into the palace.

The uncles and nephews had lunch, and found a place to sit in the cloakroom of the guards. When Luan drove out of the palace, the eunuch on duty came to report.

At the moment of Shenzheng, Luan drove out of the palace, and Jia Lian and Jia Rong came to guard him, but he was surprised to see Jia's mother with tears on her face.

Tanchun and Daiyu reassured Jiamu that she hadn't noticed, but Yingchun noticed it and told Jiamu about the abnormal behavior: "The queen mother asked our sisters to go to the garden, but when I came back, I didn't see my grandmother. When I came back, I had a strange look on my face, and after I said goodbye to the Empress Dowager, the old lady's eyes were red again, Dai Yu Tanchun Xichun thought that the old lady was reluctant to part with Miss Zhen, but I think it's not easy!"

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat: "Why do you think it's not easy?"

Yingchun whispered: "When we came out, I saw a figure flashing past on the veranda on the left side of Ningshou Palace. Although she was wearing palace attire, I was very familiar with her figure and profile. I have guesses in my heart, but I am not sure, since it is her, since she can meet the old lady, why not meet us?"

Jia Lian nodded when he heard the words: "What else is special?"

Yingchun shook her head: "Miss Zhen was left behind by the empress dowager, sister Lin is very sad, oh, and also, the empress dowager rewarded our mansion with a complete set of newly published Yongle ceremonies, other than that, there is nothing else!"

Jia Lian gave Yingchun an appreciative smile: "I see, don't worry, don't say these things anymore, don't even tell your father!"

Yingchun's face suddenly became serious when he heard the words, nodded and said: "I listen to the second brother!"

Jia Lian's heart suddenly turned upside down. Jia's mother took the opportunity to meet Yuan Chun, but whether it was good or bad, she would definitely see when she returned home.However, Jia Lian had already made up his mind that he would never support Yuan Chun's choice of concubine, but instead would look for opportunities to let Yuan Chun leave the palace early. Although it was difficult, Jia Lian wanted to give it a try.

A woman like Yuan Chun cannot be concubine before the age of 25 and has to leave the palace. However, Jia Lian can't count on this. Yuan Chun will definitely try her best to become a concubine. She entered Jia's house, although she married Jia Qiang, a side branch.However, it is still inseparable from the Jia family.

Although I didn't know how Yuanchun knew about Qin Keqing in the last life, in this life, I have to cut off this thread in advance.Even if Qin Keqing was about to die, it would not be able to complete Yuanchun. After all, Qin Keqing was the direct blood of the Supreme Emperor, and the Jia family had already offended Fuqing and his wife and King Zhongyi, so there was no further blood debt.

Jia Lian thought so, the carriage had already left the Xihua Gate, and arrived at Rongning Street half an hour later, the Rongfu opened the gate of the mansion, sent Luanjia back to the palace respectfully, and then returned to Rongqingtang.

Jia Lian was about to resign, but Jia's mother dismissed her granddaughters and called Jia Lian's uncle and nephew: "Lian'er, brother Rong, wait a moment!"

But Jia Lian said, "Rong'er, go first, I'll talk to my ancestors."

Mother Jia was astonished, but she didn't object.
