The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But Jia Huan's words startled Fan Cheng into a cold sweat, and hurried back to Luwang Mansion.King Lu and Zeng Wei both felt that what Mr. Zhao said was reasonable, so they went to tell Mr. Zeng.Sure enough, the old man started to investigate by himself.I thought it would take several days to investigate carefully, but I found out in less than half a day.

It turned out that a few days ago there were rumors in the mansion that Zeng Wei and the concubine had discussed getting married, and promised Princess Jian'an to the fourth master of the Zeng family.The eldest grandma thought, if the fourth master favored the princess, and King Lu respected his sister very much, I might lose my status in the family in the future.She then secretly paid attention to Princess Jian'an's every move, hoping to get some benefits and destroy her arrogance.

The night before last, Grandma got the news that Chan'er, who was beside Princess Jian'an, had slipped out of the West Corner Gate at night with a food box in her hand, so she became suspicious.Because she couldn't find out what happened, she secretly leaked the matter to an old woman who came out of the palace.This nanny is old and old-fashioned, and she thinks that Can'er has selfishness.She hated these things the most, so she guarded the door and waited for Can'er to come back and take down the crime.When Princess Jian'an heard about it, she led a few maids to rush over, taking Chan'er away by force.I thought this matter could be put on hold for a while, and I would think of a way to get over it later, I didn't want Grandma Zeng to know for a while, and stabbed the concubine in front of the concubine secretly.

Princess Jian'an is naturally inconvenient to tell the truth to the concubine, but she only said that because Mr. Zhao San gave the cook ten taels of silver for a plate of crispy crucian carp, it was obvious that he loved food, so he wanted to get some snacks for him. It can be regarded as a little thought from Prince Lu's Mansion.The title the concubine got in the palace that day was the word "Ning". She always kept her own place and did not approve of King Lu often discussing outside matters with her daughter.Then I remembered that in Beijing when my daughter pretended to look at a poem by Jia Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion, she just reprimanded her for messing around with her reputation again.And the old nanny had always been trusted by Concubine Ning, and she was embarrassed to let her take away Chan'er just now.

Grandma Zeng was overjoyed when she heard about it.She has heard from her husband that Mr. Zhao is a talented person, and her father-in-law and others are worried that they will not be able to receive this person into the tent of King Lu.If this matter is leaked out by taking the opportunity, the princess will be able to marry the Zhao man if the guarantee is not complete, and she will not enter the Zeng family's door at all.Even if she can't, her reputation will be ruined, so it will be easy to handle in the future.

The cause and effect are all clear, and Fan Cheng, Zeng Xing and others are all relieved: it is not an outsider's fault.It's just that Grandma Zeng has given birth to two sons and grandchildren for the Zeng family, and her mother's family is also an important family in front of King Lu, so it is inconvenient to blame her.

Concubine Ning sighed softly, and went to her daughter's room in person.Coincidentally, King Lu was also there, chirping in front of his sister, and immediately shut up when he saw his mother coming.

Concubine Ning sat beside her daughter and shook her hand: "That Mr. Zhao said yes. My son, why don't you explain clearly to me?"

Princess Jian'an said with a wry smile: "How can I explain this kind of thing clearly."

Concubine Ning said: "You just said that you gave it in the name of your younger brother, isn't that all right?"

Princess Jian'an said: "I didn't pretend to be my younger brother, it was just his guess."

King Lu clapped his hands and laughed, "This is the best way!"

Princess Jian'an glanced at her mother: "There is still something I haven't found out. How could the eldest cousin drag me and fourth cousin together?"

Concubine Ning moved her eyes and sighed: "A few days ago, your uncle actually discussed this matter with me. You are not young anymore, and there is no good family in Luzhou. It would be great if you can marry into your uncle's family. "

Lu Wang immediately stood up and blurted out: "Where is it! The fourth cousin is like an idiot, Mr. Huan is so nice!"

"Nonsense!" Concubine Ning glared at him, "Even if our family wants to marry Rongguo Mansion, it must not be your sister."

King Lu was anxious: "Why can't it be my sister! Mr. Huan told me that my sister is more wise than my uncle, which shows that he thinks highly of her."

Concubine Ning stumbled and said: "Even if we forget the stupid thing she did in Beijing two years ago, can people forget it?"

"Okay, don't argue." Princess Jian'an said, "I won't join the Zeng family anyway. My eldest cousin can't divorce his wife. If I marry, I will never have peace."

"Exactly!" King Lu hurriedly said, "It will never work!"

Concubine Ning sighed again: "Right now we can't leave her natal family."

Princess Jian'an smiled lightly and said: "I still can't look down on people with such means. The first time she said it was just her intention to calculate my innocence. She can't calculate my second time."

Concubine Ning nodded: "My son is generous, really don't pay attention to her."

Princess Jian'an said: "Don't pretend to let her think about her mistakes behind closed doors. In the Buddhist hall, since I knelt down for one night, it is not an exaggeration for her to kneel for three nights at least. Besides, I want my grandfather and uncle to answer me. : Don’t let her take care of the house again.” Then he turned his eyes, glanced at his younger brother and stared at his mother, “Does she want power? You can give her anything, except power. Second cousin sister-in-law has a good temper, and she would not treat her harshly if she thought about it.” .”

Concubine Ning thought for a while and said, "That's fine." Then she said, "Mr. Zhao, I had a discussion with your grandfather yesterday. It's really rare. Mr. Fan suggested that it would be wrong to make a mistake, and your grandfather should have agreed. It's just that I'm not very old. Yes. His name, Zhao San, obviously does not come from a good family. If you don’t want to, then let it go. Your second cousin is good-looking, and her character and talent are above ordinary girls. Your uncle originally intended to let her marry Rong It was married to the state government. I thought, since this Zhao San is an outstanding individual, it is fine to assign him."

Princess Jian'an lowered her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid she won't marry you."

Concubine Ning laughed: "If he meets someone, he will definitely agree."

Princess Jian'an said with a smile: "Mr. Fan said that day that Mr. Zhao is a martial arts practitioner from the back. It can be seen that there are not many stunning women who have been seen in the world. If you don't believe it, you can try it." Concubine Ning hesitated a bit when she saw her affirmation.

King Lu said from the sidelines: "My sister asked him that the image on his back is Xiwen's martial arts practice, so that's the reason. Sure enough, my sister will not be aimless."

After Concubine Ning left, King Lu tugged on his sister's sleeve and pouted, "Wouldn't it be too easy to let the eldest cousin go?"

Princess Jian'an picked up a book on the desk and opened it. She held her chin and said, "She and her second cousin sister-in-law are cousins, and there was a gap in the boudoir. It was only a year before and after they married into the Zeng family. Over the years, Ming On the surface, the sister-in-law is harmonious, and she secretly gave the second cousin a lot of trouble! Can the second cousin let her go? Besides, the third cousin's mother-in-law's family is weaker, and she doesn't know how to win over her, so she shows her face openly. The third cousin No matter how good-natured my sister-in-law is, the clay figurine will still be very angry. Since the first cousin is down, she must help the second cousin." King Lu couldn't help laughing.Princess Jian'an said as if nothing had happened, "I just said that the loss at her hands this time is only due to her mental calculations and inadvertent intentions. She is no match for me." Lu Wang smiled and fell on the desk and couldn't get up.

When he laughed enough, he rubbed his stomach and complained of pain.Princess Jian'an said sternly: "Sixth brother, look at how confused the eldest cousin is. She is not a fool, how could she be so confused?"

Lu Wang still crouched down and said in his mouth: "You underestimated my sister."

Princess Jian'an said: "It's not me who investigated this matter today, but my grandfather. She can't underestimate my grandfather?"

Lu Wang lazily said: "Where did she think that her grandfather would take care of this matter!"

"That's right." Princess Jian'an nodded and said, "He has never cared about any major matters, how could he care about such trivial matters. If he doesn't care, the people in the mansion won't care. Needless to say, sister-in-law, aunt is only interested in gossiping. Mother and concubine are used to calming down when encountering such things, and other uncles and others don't need to count on it. The concubine has relied on her natal family for many years. The Zeng family has suffered a lot from us, and we have to endure ordinary trivial matters. Therefore, she dares."

King Lu sat up "teng", gritted his teeth for a long time and couldn't speak, and slammed his fist on the desk with a "slap".

"It's just that she was too reckless in this matter after all." Princess Jian'an asked the maid for a sip of tea, and said, "She has no ability to be smart, but she is so reckless, because she is obsessed with power and anxious. You are most likely to make mistakes when you are busy." Nai stretched out his hand to caress the head and neck of King Fulu, "Brother, remember, you must not let the desire for power blind you. Power, even if you use means to get it for a while, others can use means to take it away. Really That's the safest thing to do."

King Lu looked at his sister eagerly, and nodded vigorously.After a long while, he sighed: "I see, Mr. Huan clearly agrees with my sister."

Princess Jian'an smiled: "Fool, my grandfather has five granddaughters. Even if I can marry Rongguo Mansion, where is it my turn?" After thinking about the meeting, she said, "If uncle discusses with you to promise me to Zhao San , don't stop it."

King Lu frowned: "Why didn't you stop me? I've stopped him once."

Princess Jian'an looked at Fang Liang and said, "It's useless for you to stop such things. Besides, marrying Zhao San is better than marrying fourth cousin."

King Lu was stunned: "Didn't the fourth cousin just say that sister Cai would not marry?"

Princess Jian'an sighed, and looked sideways out of the window: "It's good that you didn't stop me at that time. Now that the big cousin sister-in-law's incident is happening, I'm afraid my grandfather will go back on his word. Next time they talk about this, don't stop me again." Yes. Grandmother, concubine, uncle, cousins, cousins, cousins, and the people below you, which one doesn't have their own thoughts?" Nai thought for a moment, then called Lin'er, the maid beside her, "Go and invite the second cousin to have tea."

King Lu asked, "What does my sister ask her to do?"

Princess Jian'an smiled: "Of course it's because I've bothered her to help me deal with my eldest cousin and vent my anger. Otherwise, what else can I do?" She pushed her younger brother, "Go outside and play."

King Lu looked at her for a long time, and muttered, "I don't believe you." Then he pouted, "What's wrong with that Zhao San."

Princess Jian'an said with a smile: "You just have to trust my vision. I picked this man, and since I picked him, he must be beneficial. The second cousin is coming soon, you go out first."

King Lu was still dissatisfied, and begged his sister for a long time, but Princess Jian'an just ignored him.Finally left obediently.

But at this moment, Mrs. Zeng and Zeng Ting are also discussing.Grandpa Zeng said: "I thought about it again, Jian'an is better for the fourth child. Not to mention that the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, the sons and daughters-in-law of our family have their own advantages, and none of them can support the appearance. There must be someone who can stand up among the female family members. Except for Jian'an, there will be no good girls to be found for a while."

Zeng Ting said, "I'm afraid she won't do it herself."

Old Master Zeng said: "The parents are the masters of marriage, how can it be her turn to agree or not? It's not in the palace now."

Zeng Ting nodded, and said, "It's just Zhao San?"

Old Master Zeng said: "He would think of Kaiyi to teach the children of ordinary people. With his name, it is obvious that he is not from a noble family, but he is not born in the same family. He is a child of a trafficker who has studied this kind of righteous school. Three girls are decent enough for him. Yes. The second girl is reserved for the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Cong is not something our family can trap; Jia Huan has revealed the meaning of "money beauty" in the past, and he treats the prince very well, so he is obviously giving us a ladder." Zeng agreed.

After a while, Concubine Ning came over and said what the two of them had just said.Zeng Ting laughed and said, "How can you tell that from a back view, but isn't it nonsense?"

Old Master Zeng frowned and said, "Jian'an is smarter than ordinary girls, so don't underestimate her words. Let Fan Cheng try."

Zeng Ting thought about it: "What if he really doesn't like these girls?"

Concubine Ning said: "If Mr. Zhao San doesn't want others, wouldn't he like the snacks made by Jian'an, and would rather not eat those made by someone else? Jian'an was a sensible and upright princess when he was young. For her For the important matter of my brother, she will be willing to marry. It's just that she has been wronged."

Old Master Zeng said: "I just thought about it again, Jian'an still has to stay in our house, it's better to let her marry the fourth boy."

Concubine Ning hurriedly said: "I just told her, but she doesn't agree."

Old Master Zeng said: "Let her be in charge of the house. The eldest daughter-in-law will be in charge of all her food and clothing. She will naturally agree. If Mr. Zhao San is optimistic about our prince, he will eventually come to help him. You don't have to be tied down by marriage. If he doesn't respect Female sex, but maybe you value friends. Instead of promising other marriages, it is better to follow what he said and treat Fan Cheng kindly." Both Zeng Wei and Concubine Ning said "yes".

On the other side, Second Grandma Zeng came to see Princess Jian'an, her face full of sympathy, and she said a few words of relief.

Princess Jian'an put on airs and said gracefully: "Second cousin sister-in-law doesn't need to say these things, but first cousin sister-in-law did me a favor." Second Grandma Zeng was taken aback.Princess Jian'an raised the teacup to her eyes and said, "She guessed right. I'm really interested in Mr. Zhao."

Second Grandma Zeng was shocked, looked around for a moment, held her heart and said: "Thankfully the princess understands and sent everyone out. Such words must never be said again."

Princess Jian'an said: "Don't ask where a hero comes from. Listen to his words and watch his deeds. This man is an outstanding person in the world. In the future, no matter who he assists, he will become a great weapon. I also sincerely did not explain it to my concubine the day before yesterday. Things are getting worse. Besides," she sighed with lowered eyebrows, "I'm already fourteen. If I don't think about it, I will have to be promised by my grandfather to my fourth cousin."

Second Grandma Zeng's face froze: "Fourth brother is honest and reliable. I think he will love his wife, and he is liked by the old man and the old man. Why doesn't the princess look down on him?"

Princess Jian'an said: "If the Zeng family had a magnanimous grandma who took care of her sister-in-law, fourth cousin's temperament would be good. But now this grandma is a master of honey and swords. Although she has lost power for a while, she will eventually have The two elder cousins ​​are here. If I suffer a disadvantage in the future, even if the fourth cousin treats me secretly, don't expect him to stand up for me in front of others. He has the same temperament as my mother and concubine, and he is peaceful. "She shook her head slowly, "When I came to Luzhou from the palace, I didn't know how much I suffered because of the words 'quiet things and peace'. Will I still suffer for the rest of my life? Therefore, since I knew that my uncle and concubine had such thoughts, I started Thinking about how not to marry my fourth cousin. This Mr. Zhao came in time. Just like the fourth girl in Rongguo Mansion said, I also want to see the world is big and gain insight. If I follow him, I will never be fooled again. Trapped in the cramped part of the backyard."

Second Grandma Zeng was dumbfounded, and she stayed for half a cup of tea before she said, "Then... what does the princess mean?"

Princess Jian'an said: "The eldest cousin has been in charge of the house for many years, and there are always several loyal mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law. She lost the housekeeping right because of me, and she must be very aggrieved. The resentment is hard to dispel, so she spread the word everywhere. I just said that King Lu has taken a fancy to a gentleman surnamed Zhao from other places, and wants to promise Princess Jian'an to him, and has sent Mr. Fan to see him several times."

Second Grandma Zeng shuddered all over, she looked up at Princess Jian'an, sitting upright, she wanted to refute but dared not speak.It took half a day to say: "...I'm afraid the old man..."

Princess Jian'an said: "Grandfather was too lazy to meddle in these family affairs, but this time he made the move because he believed Mr. Zhao..." She couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Grandma is so powerful that she mistakenly thought that someone else wanted to harm the prince and Luzhou. If the grandpa had known that it was a trivial matter for the women in the inner house, he would not have cared about it. If the matter was done thoroughly, he would not investigate it carefully. The second cousin just keep her heart in her stomach." Nai smiled and looked at Zeng's second grandmother and said, "If you think about it, the second cousin doesn't expect me to enter the Zeng's house?"

Then there is no need to ask?It was so easy for God to open his eyes, and that shrew killed herself; once this princess is a thousand years old, will she still have a place to stand on her own?Second Mistress Zeng bowed her head and thought for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said: "Since it is the princess' order, I dare not disobey."

Princess Jian'an nodded: "The second cousin is indeed a good one. You and the first cousin are cousins, so they can't be worse than her. I trust you."

Second Grandma Zeng knew in her heart that this was provocation, but she couldn't help but patted her chest and said: "Princess, don't worry, my wife will fulfill her mission!"
