The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Princess Jian'an had chickenpox, and she gradually got better after a long time.King Lu was overjoyed and rewarded the doctor who treated her.There is only one thing that is slightly different, but fortunately no one cares.The princess used to wear light makeup, but suddenly fell in love with heavy makeup after her illness.This is just a woman's petty temper, nothing more than a few words occasionally mentioned in the Zeng family's backyard chat.Moreover, after the illness, the princess was not willing to go out, and she wore a veil even when she went out.Because she is about to leave the cabinet, it is normal to be shy.Another thing is that after the princess recovered from her illness, she suddenly fell in love with all kinds of spices. Not only did she get a lot of spices in the warehouse, but she also sent her maid to buy a lot outside.King Lu found out and collected some from various places and sent them to him.

On this day, a well-dressed servant outside the Prince Lu's mansion posted a post, saying that Mrs. Liu Qinshi, the wife of a businessman in Beijing, asked to see Princess Jian'an.Coincidentally, I met a young Xiaomenzi and thought it was funny: "Does any cat or dog want to see the princess?"

The maid said neither humble nor overbearing: "I also ask my brother to send my wife's post in, otherwise I may miss a big deal."

An aged old man came out of the door and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiaomenzi smiled and pointed at the maid and said, "A proprietress of a lumber shop wants to see the princess, but she doesn't take a mirror to look at herself, is she worthy?"

The old man raised his eyes and looked at the servant woman, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked up and down for a moment, then smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Please wait, sister-in-law, the villain will send the post right away." Nai stepped forward to accept it with both hands After reading the post, he winked at Xiao Menzi and kissed him behind.

Xiao Menzi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly smiled at the servant woman, "Sister-in-law, come and sit inside for a while." The servant woman politely thanked her and stood aside.

The young man knew that the old man was more knowledgeable than him, so he secretly peeped at the servant woman, wishing he could give himself a slap in the face: the material of the clothes on this servant woman was so poor!And the boots under her feet are also very fine lambskin boots.And that appearance and demeanor are not what ordinary people can have.Not long after, the old man came out and brought back a reply from Princess Jian'an, asking the master of the servant girl of the Liu family to meet in the future.The servant girl bowed to thank her, and returned to the carriage with her sleeves on her back.

Seeing that the carriage went far away, Xiaomenzi couldn't help asking: "Old man, who is this Mrs. Liu?"

"I don't know." The old man smiled so much that his brows and eyes widened, he stretched out a slap and said, "Anyway, the princess valued it very much, and gave me five taels of silver as a reward!"

Xiaomenzi exclaimed: "Good luck, old man!" Then he asked again, "Why didn't you—" He raised his chin towards the street.

The old man snorted, "I don't know much! Some families have rules that servants are not allowed to take rewards from outsiders."

Xiao Menzi suddenly realized: "Oh—" he nodded vigorously several times, but he really didn't understand the reason at all.

Two days later, an ordinary green cloth carriage drove up to Prince Lu's mansion, it was the wife of the Liu family who went back last time.Xiaomenzi looked intently, and saw the curtain of the car was lifted, and the servant woman who came the day before yesterday helped out a young woman from above, she looked so beautiful!The figure is graceful and slender, but the whole body exudes a dignified atmosphere, which makes people daunting.Not to mention being full of wealth.

Princess Jian'an's wet nurse, Mrs. Zhu, came to greet her at the door early in the morning. When she heard that Mrs. Liu was coming, she went up to greet her, saluted with joy, and led her to the princess courtyard.When they arrived inside, Princess Jian'an had already prepared refreshments, and all the waiters in the room were sent out, even Mrs. Zhu just sent Mrs. Liu to the door and then bowed and left.

Mrs. Liu went to see the princess alone, and spent two full hours inside, no one knew what they were talking about.Seeing noon, someone from the kitchen brought food boxes over.The princess' nurse shouted loudly at the door: "Princess, it's time for lunch." After a while, Mrs. Liu came out to pick up the food box, smiled and casually told the people outside to eat too, and she didn't need to come in to serve her, she acted like a master of.The people in the kitchen were suspicious and didn't dare to ask, so they saluted and left.After the princess and Mrs. Liu finished their lunch, it was Mrs. Liu who delivered the food box to Mrs. Zhu.

The two of them stayed in the room for more than half an hour, and Mrs. Liu came out and said: "The princess is resting in the tent, don't disturb her." Then she left.The nursing mother sent her out of the house.All the maids also had doubts in their hearts, so they boldly went into the house to check, and the princess really fell asleep, and she looked safe and sound.This time, Princess Jian'an didn't wake up until dusk.

When Mrs. Zeng's family heard about this, she inevitably became suspicious and told her husband Zeng Ting.Zeng Wei sent someone to check on Mrs. Liu, but said that she had left after leaving Prince Lu's mansion, saying that she was returning to Beijing.It was obvious that he had come to see Princess Jian'an for something special.People in the inn saw his appearance and said it was amazing.His appearance is rare in the world, but his overall demeanor clearly shows that he is a nobleman.The proprietress who brought water to their yard said that Mrs. Liu's jewelry was so gorgeous that she didn't know which one to look at first.Then he asked the gatekeeper of Luwang's mansion, and the old gatekeeper said: "This lady is wearing python satin from the palace, I can't see it wrong." Zeng Ting took a deep breath.Later, the wives, grandmothers, and girls of the Zeng family took turns asking Princess Jian'an who Mrs. Liu was.

After several days of investigation, the Zeng family found a clue by accident.A merchant's wife who also lived in the inn met Mrs. Liu by chance and was envious of her, so she once visited her.The two of them talked about drinking tea and admiring flowers for half a day, and settling accounts for half a day, but they couldn't find out the identity of Mrs. Liu at all.It can only be concluded that Mrs. Liu came from a wealthy family with a very high status.He also took out the gift that Mrs. Liu gave her at will, but it was two strings of red musk beads and two phoenix tails.As soon as Zeng Zhen looked at Fengwei Luo, he knew that Mrs. Liu must have a very high status.Ordinary merchants can't buy this item at all, let alone give it away.Another little girl of the merchant's wife said that she was chatting with a little girl next to Mrs. Liu, and that girl said that their wife was adopted by their in-laws in the Yangshengtang, and she was a monk in her early years.

Zeng Ting wanted to know who this woman was more and more, so he annoyed his sister Concubine Ning and went to find Princess Jian'an in person.I don't want Princess Jian'an to fool her mother!It is only said that Mrs. Liu is unparalleled in poetry, and the two of them talked about poetry for a long time.Zeng Ting couldn't find any more clues anymore, so he scratched his head and scratched his head, and finally asked old master Zeng again.

After hearing this, Old Master Zeng thought for a long time, and said in his mouth: "He is maintained by the Yangshengtang, he was a monk in his early years, and his behavior is dignified and dignified. Thinking about it carefully, unless he is from the family of Prince Xianyizhong. Otherwise, why should he become a monk and hide?"

Zeng Ting said: "If Xianyi is loyal to the prince, he is a deadly enemy with the Supreme Emperor, how could he come to Jian'an?" The father and son pondered for a long time, but they did not come to a conclusion.

A few days later, a lot of carts suddenly came outside the gate to deliver goods, saying that Mrs. Liu's family had heard that Princess Jian'an was going to get married, so she came here to add make-up to her.The steward in charge of the princess's dowry in the mansion jumped up in shock holding the list, and said after a long time, "Did the princess know Grandma the God of Wealth?"

King Lu was naturally overjoyed, he came to see the list and things in person, and praised: "Sister really brings money."

Concubine Ning naturally asked for the list to look at, she was also shocked, and even sighed: "If the Supreme Emperor is still in Beijing, and the wedding in Jian'an, the dowry prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs may be nothing more than this." She also felt sorry for Mrs. Liu Doubtful, I went to test Princess Jian'an for half a day, but I still didn't get half a letter.

Princess Jian'an still wore heavy makeup and used a lot of spices when she was about to marry.Naturally, the princess's dowry list was sent to the capital early.Jia Zheng was so startled that his eyes would drop: King Lu is so rich!Overjoyed.

A few days later, the Empress Dowager's decree arrived in Luzhou to marry Princess Jian'an to Jia Huan, nephew of Duke Rong Jia She's.The palace of Prince Lu suddenly rejoiced: Even though he has been away from Beijing for many years, the empress dowager will still have power.Apart from other things, what is rare is face.

At this moment, some people from the Yangshengtang in Beijing also went to inquire, but they gave too little information.All I know is that the woman is about thirty years old, has a good appearance and bearing, and was once a monk.Due to the long time of birth and the turmoil in Beijing and China in the past few years, many old people in the Yangshengtang have either left or died, and some of them have closed their doors. It is very difficult.

Someone went to an old health care hall in the south of the city to inquire. Although they didn't get a letter, there was an old woman in charge who said: "A few days ago, I heard something somewhere else. Madam, donated a lot of money to the Yangshengtang, because she was adopted from the Yangshengtang. It is also said that she looks like a monk.” The person hurriedly asked which Yangshengtang it was, but when he found it, the Yangshengtang was closed up.

Unwilling to give up, this person inquired about the people who were here before, and asked the neighbors in the neighborhood.Another good old woman said: "I have heard of Mrs. Liu before." She whispered, "In the early years, someone came to inquire about her, saying that she is the granddaughter of Prince Xianyizhong!" Gossip, no evidence.

This day was an auspicious day. Princess Jian'an set off from Luzhou to marry in Beijing, and the whole city was like a new year.The king of Lu was very reluctant, and wanted to marry him off in person.However, he is a prince, and his grandfather, mother and uncle persuaded him repeatedly not to allow him to leave.King Lu was very angry.Because of the large dowry, he wanted to order Zhong Heng to lead his troops to escort him.Zhong Heng said: "The last general must not leave the prince. Why don't you send some troops to my uncle to lead the army." Lu Wang knew that his uncle Zhong Wei was the tiger general, and he has not mobilized him to lead the army after all these years.Hearing that Zhong Wei was allowed to take the lead, he felt much more at ease.

Zhong Wei temporarily closed the teahouse for a while, and led a few brothers with elite soldiers selected by Zhong Heng to escort Princess Jian'an and Shili Hongzhuang.The towns that pass by are all boiled—who has seen so many dowries?Worthy of being the emperor's daughter.Naturally, there were robbers coveting on the road, and even Zhong Wei was beaten back by soldiers and horses who didn't know where they came without even alarming Zhong Wei.

After walking all the way in peace, I saw that I would be able to enter Beijing in three or four days.Princess Jian'an's heart was beating wildly while she was relieved.That night they stayed in a village, the princess had a midnight snack and walked a few steps in the small courtyard of the farm.Suddenly someone shouted: "Who is it!" He hurriedly raised his head and looked around.The bright moon hangs in the sky like a silver plate, illuminating the trees far away and the houses near the house clearly, but she can't see what happened to her eyes—only a group of figures, and the sound sounds like someone fighting on the roof.

The two started fighting, and gradually jumped outside.Although Princess Jian'an was curious, she didn't dare to go out to see it, so she hurried back into the house.After waiting for half a day, I heard the sound of Western guns.After a while, Zhong Wei came forward to report: "There was a thief who was spying on the princess, and my brother beat him away, but it's a pity that he was never caught."

The princess smiled wryly, "I'm afraid he has already seen my face."

Zhong Wei smiled and said, "No problem. It's too late for what they want to do now."

It turned out that what the passer-by poured into Princess Jian'an's teacup that night was a kind of poison.

Blisters develop all over the body.It's just that most people suffering from chickenpox will have headaches and vomiting, but those who suffer from this poison will not.What he added to the censer would cause headaches and vomiting.These two things added together, is a complete "chickenpox" disease.If we rely on chickenpox to treat it, it will obviously delay the effort.This move was not to guard against others, but only to guard against Concubine Ning.The blisters of those who have been infected with this poison will first appear on the face, leaving scars after scabs.Later, it is sent out on the body, and the stench is lingering.If it is not treated early according to the prescription, it will take half a month at least, or two months at most, and you will die.When the time comes to pursue it, it is naturally a quack doctor's fault.

When the Empress Dowager's spies heard that Princess Jian'an wore heavy makeup, they thought it was to cover up the scars, and added spices and thought it was to cover up the stench, and waited for her to die of illness.Not wanting to wait for many days, not only did she set off for the capital, she even almost reached the capital, and she was not dead yet!The time of death should have passed long ago, right?Therefore, knowing that King Lu sent a master to escort him, he still had to find out.Coincidentally, Princess Jian'an took off her makeup early because it was getting late.Coincidentally, there is another big moon tonight, and I can see it clearly - the skin is as smooth as fat, the white jade is flawless, and there are no scars on the face at all!Thinking about it, the spy was very disappointed.

On the other side, Yangshengtang finally found out what happened.Mrs. Liu is the adopted daughter of Qin Ye, the first clerk. Someone once went to the Yangsheng Hall to investigate her background and suspected that she was the orphan of Prince Xianyizhong.Once married to the Ningguo Mansion as a grandson, she was sent out to become a nun because of her father-in-law, and then returned to the vulgar and married a rich man surnamed Liu.It happened that she did not return to vulgarity at the place where she became a monk, but she returned to Zhenwu nunnery in the south of the city and practiced for a while before returning to vulgarity.And the presiding officer of Zhenwu Temple, Master Jingyuan, is Princess Jinyang, the daughter of Prince Xianyizhong.

Check her husband Liu Xianglian again, he is just an ordinary son of a family, and he lived in poverty in his early years.After that, he worked as a bodyguard with the Taiping Security Bureau for several years, and because he made some money, he opened his own Liu's Timber Company.The identity of this person is clear and beyond doubt.

The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. followed the cart coming out of Faxiang Temple, the family temple of Liguo Mansion, to a large antique shop called Yinfengju.The owner of this shop also popped up suddenly in the past three or four years, and he has a lot of good goods in his hands. I don't know where he came from, and he is also very rich.Shi Li looked at the files of Yinfengju and couldn't help but shoot the case: "It's so rich! The young master can't help but want to cheat."

Rongguo Mansion had already prepared a courtyard for Jia Huan.Because of the noble status of the princess, she could not be placed at will, so Jia Zheng decided to clean up the original Jiamu's yard and give it to them.Jia Huan had no idea that his new daughter-in-law was so poisonous, she was happily waiting to be the groom's official.
