Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

After separating from the young master, Mo Da still thought about Ma Chang'an's frightened eyes looking at the young master. To put it bluntly, Ma Chang'an's eyes looked like seeing a ghost.

He has known Ma Chang'an for some time. Ma Chang'an relied on the fact that he was once the third prince's companion and also Li Concubine's natal family, and his attitude was extremely arrogant on weekdays. Even the husband had to let him down. Never had he been so terrified when?

Mo Da's eyes narrowed slightly, could it be that Ma Chang'an recognized the young master?

But...it shouldn't be.

Even though Mo Gu never talked about his own background, Mo Da also sensed some of it. Regardless of the unknown existence of Jia Baobao, what the young master taught him, the thing called IPAD, and Conan , and those people in Conan dressed strangely, he more or less guessed that the young master is not from this world.

Since he is not from this world, Ma Chang'an shouldn't recognize him, but the man's eyes clearly recognized the young master, and considering the standard Beijing dialect that the young master speaks, Mo Da is a little uncertain.

Mo Da pondered for a long time, and finally snorted coldly, "Hmph! If you can run away, a monk can't run away from the temple."

Doesn't this guy love to block him? This time, it's his job to block him. He doesn't believe he can't catch him when he is alone.

Not to mention that because of the fifth prince's six-liu saying that he is good, there are some stories that must be told in the palace, and the North Korean princess has finally entered the capital.

North Korea is so beautiful, the appearance of this North Korean princess is naturally gorgeous, but everyone did not expect that the North Korean princess is a pair instead of one, and they are a pair of beautiful sisters, everyone is a little dumbfounded now up.

If there is a beauty, it is nothing to give it to Jia Daishan, but if there is a couple at once, it is impossible for a pair of sisters to give Jia Daishan all the flowers, right?

Not to mention that Jia Daishan's kidneys can't bear it, there are many people who are attracted to such a beautiful pair of sisters, and many of them have the courage to express and hint to the Holy One, so the redundant one How to distribute it, and which one should go to Jia Daishan is also a question.

This time, the Holy Majesty, who gave the marriage casually, was in a difficult situation.

Emperor Pingkang discussed this matter with the empress, with a look of difficulty on his face.

In order to add some weight to the fourth prince, Emperor Pingkang not only often summoned Xingde concubine, but also occasionally went to the Kunning Palace to talk to the queen on the days that were not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar new year, or to sit for a while. Sit down, but let Emperor Pingkang know a little more about the queen unexpectedly.

In the past, he had been thinking about the priority, so he subconsciously rejected the successor. He had always been indifferent to the queen, and was deeply afraid that the queen would give birth to a son-in-law, which would block the way of the prince. Usually, he would only go to the queen's room on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Every time they went to Yongshou Palace, they would go straight to the point of business. They had been husband and wife for more than ten years, but the two of them hadn't talked seriously a few times.

It was also this time that I wanted to add weight to the fourth prince, so I walked a few more times in the queen's palace, but unexpectedly found that the queen is actually a sweet and intelligent person, so it is inconvenient to discuss the embarrassing things in my heart with her .

The queen should be a big deal, it turned out that there was one more princess sent by North Korea, and I don't know how to divide it.

The queen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Why don't you send the two princesses into the palace to meet them, and give one to Duke Rong, and the other to stay in the palace and be our younger sister."

Emperor Pingkang blushed, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm already in my forties. If the crown prince and the first prince are up to date, they might all give birth to grandchildren for me, so we can add some newcomers."

"Speaking of which, the general election has been stopped twice, and there have been no newcomers in the palace for quite a while." The queen first sighed, and then said with a rare seriousness: "The number of heirs under the Holy Majesty's knees is always a little less."

Although His Majesty has sons and daughters, there are only eight princes, and the sixth prince has died a while ago. As for the fifth prince... let alone, if it is really full of plans, there are only six princes, and the adult ones are too old. But the crown prince and the first prince, as for the third prince and the fourth prince, are only half-grown boys, let alone the fifth prince and below.

The queen leaned back, bowed to the sage, and said: "The concubine wants to ask the sage to call for a general election, choose more women from good families to enter the palace, and give the sage more heirs."

The prince has more children under his knees, so the crown prince won't be staring at Xiaosi all the time. Although she knows that as long as she is unbiased, no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, she will be regarded as the queen mother, but she really can't bear to look at the big and small by herself. Si was stared at by the prince like this.

Xiao Si has not yet reached the age to go to court, and he does not have his own influence in the court. How can he compare with the eldest prince and the crown prince? [-]. Express opinions.

Although it is somewhat superficial, it also has something to listen to.Everyone never expected that the fourth prince is young, but he can see things quite thoroughly. The ministers in the court are all human beings, so how could they not see the fact that the emperor intends to cultivate the fourth prince?So everyone praised the fourth prince mercilessly, and for a while there were rumors that some of the fourth princes were talented and not inferior to the prince.

In this way, Xiao Si was naturally targeted by the crown prince and the first prince, and she moved to Kunning Palace, the prince would not do anything to her stepmother, all this anger was on Xiao Si; Concubine Yu Hui didn't reflect on the fact that she caused Xiao Liu'er to fall into the water, but instead blamed her when the palace power was left behind. As her adopted son, Xiao Si naturally became a punching bag.

However, in just one month, Xiao Si was sandwiched between Emperor Pingkang, the crown prince and the first prince. It was really hard work, and she lost several catties abruptly.

"Zi Lu, get up quickly." Emperor Pingkang helped the queen up with his own hands, and said with emotion: "The queen is worthy of being a queen, she should be the mother of a country."

In the past, the only women around him were those who hoped that he would accept fewer women, but those who persuaded him to accept more women like the queen.

Emperor Pingkang thought for a while, "The eldest princess of North Korea is older, why not..."

Just when Emperor Pingkang wanted to bring the eldest princess into the palace and the youngest princess to Jia Daishan, the queen pressed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you meet with me first, and then make a decision."

Emperor Pingkang was not easy to see as a foreigner, but the empress had seen the pair of princesses from North Korea. They were really one-on-one beauties, no matter which one's appearance was outstanding in this palace full of beauties. Concubine Zhen was slightly better.

However, beauties can still be divided into high and low after all. Although the eldest princess has a more stable temperament, she is not as beautiful as the little princess. The type that the Holy Majesty prefers, but she can't explain it clearly, let the Holy Majesty choose it himself.

The queen laughed and said: "Since it is in the harem of the sage, it must be in line with the sage's wishes."

As for whether it suits Jia Daishan's wishes... Hehe, it doesn't matter.

"This..." Emperor Pingkang hesitated slightly. He had heard too much news about the beauty of the Korean princess, so it would be a lie to say that he was not curious, but as a man, even if he was curious about the appearance of the Korean princess, he would go to see the Korean princess. ?

"The concubine has an idea." The queen smiled and said, "It's better to let the concubine hold a banquet, and invite ladies from all families to come over on the grounds of choosing a concubine for the third prince, and by the way, invite the two princesses to accompany you. For the name, I took the opportunity to meet up."

Emperor Pingkang immediately understood that the empress was changing the way to remind the prince of his marriage, and the third prince was also fifteen, so it was time to see each other. Marriage is.

Emperor Pingkang teased, "Zi Lu wants to drink daughter-in-law's tea, right?"

Emperor Pingkang thought to himself, the empress's natal family has quite a few daughters of the right age. In the past, it would not be a big deal to choose one to marry Xiao Si, but now he wants to use Xiao Si as the prince's whetstone. If it doesn't work, the wife's family must not be low, and the queen's natal family is a little bit worse after all.

"The prince hasn't even married yet, so we can get Xiaosi." The queen said generously, "It's just that concubine Li came to ask for my concubine's place, and wanted to tell the third prince a daughter from a scholarly family."

After all, the third prince should have said goodbye long ago, but at that time, he happened to meet with the Holy Majesty's personal conquest, and with the sudden death of Xiao Liu'er, Concubine Li tried to figure out what the Holy Majesty was thinking, and didn't dare to offend the Majesty, so she stopped seeing each other , now that Xiao Liu has been gone for almost a year, it's time to say kiss to the third prince.

"So it's Concubine Li." Emperor Pingkang suddenly realized that if the queen didn't mention it, he would almost have forgotten Concubine Li.

Concubine Li's title is the character Li, so she is naturally a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance. Back then, it could be said that she was crowned as a harem. Unfortunately, the beauty lies in the flesh but not in the bones. As she gets older, she is not as good as before. He has not been to Concubine Li for a long time. In the palace.

Emperor Pingkang asked indifferently: "Did Concubine Li fall in love with that girl?"

The queen smiled softly, "Although Concubine Li is interested in her natal niece, she still has to ask the Holy Spirit for a decision, and the Holy Spirit is always satisfied."

Emperor Pingkang nodded in satisfaction, this Concubine Li's natal family was only a fourth-rank official, and Concubine Li was also a knowledgeable person, and she didn't dare to look for officials of the first or second rank, but even so, Emperor Pingkang was a little hesitant, He doesn't have many princes under his knees, if the fourth prince fails, it is natural that the third prince should come up to be the whetstone, if the third prince's wife's family is low, it is not good.

Thinking about it carefully, Emperor Pingkang regretted that in order to pave the way for the prince, the palace was full of concubines of ordinary backgrounds, and there was not even a prince from a decent mother's family. , I didn't think of a suitable one, and finally pondered: "Just according to Zilu's intention, arrange a flower viewing feast."

The matter of the prince and concubine is of great importance, and it is better to choose carefully.

The queen blinked playfully, saluted and said with a smile, "Decree!"

She didn't believe that the Holy Majesty would not be moved after meeting the little Korean princess.

The queen held a flower viewing banquet to choose a daughter-in-law. Although it was chosen for the third prince, everyone thought that the fourth prince was about to reach the age, so the queen would definitely pay attention to the fourth prince. The daughter went over.

When the prince chooses his wife, what he values ​​is naturally his family background, and then the woman's virtue, but his appearance is naturally not bad. In order to compete for the seat of the third prince and concubine, the daughters of each family are dressed like flowers, really like a hundred flowers blooming , Li Pin was dazzled.

But in terms of beauty, all the delicate flowers in Manyu Garden are not as good as the two princesses of North Korea.When the two princesses appeared, they really looked like the sun, the moon and the stars, making the other daughters of the other families dim.

Even Li Concubine felt ashamed and smiled at the Queen, "It's better than when I was young."

It can make Concubine Li feel ashamed when she was sealed with the word Li on the spot when she was first met by the Holy Majesty, which shows the beauty of the two Korean princesses.

Concubine Li looked at the two princesses with a smile. She had long since lost her desire to compete for favor, and she only wanted to choose a daughter-in-law for her son who suits his wishes.

The eldest princess of Joseon is about 16 years old, but she is very mature and stable, with a graceful and generous attitude, and she is better than many other girls. People like it when they see it.It's a pity that she is a princess from a foreign country, or she really wants to tell the third prince one.

The queen smiled from ear to ear, "It's really rare, Duke Rong is a blessed man."

It is not enough for this woman to be beautiful, to be a concubine, she must have goods in her belly.

The two princesses are not only beautiful in appearance, but what's more rare is that they both speak good Chinese and understand poetry and songs. Although a poem written casually is not amazing, it is also stable, which is extremely rare.

Concubine Li glanced at the queen if she felt something, and said in admiration: "Your Majesty is really generous, I am ashamed of myself."

The queen specifically mentioned Rong Guogong, which means that one of the North Korean princesses must marry into Rong Guo's mansion. Rong Guogong is of the same generation as the Holy One, and her third son is a little lower in seniority, so there is no hope.

Thinking about it further, a princess of North Korea is a princess, so she naturally has to be the first wife, no matter how bad it is, she should be the second wife, but there are not many people in the court who are of the same generation as Rong Guogong and who have lost their wives. Besides entering the palace, where else could this other North Korean princess go?

Concubine Li pursed her lips and smiled, she has been out of favor for many years, no matter who wins the favor, it doesn't matter to her, she is happy to watch the fun.

Sure enough, the Holy Majesty rushed past with the princes on the way to the banquet. Although it was said that he was only passing through the Imperial Garden, anyone with a discerning eye noticed that the Holy Majesty's eyes fell on the little Korean princess several times.

Sure enough, not long after the flower viewing feast, it was heard that the young princess of North Korea had entered the palace and was conferred the title of concubine Li by the sage, while the eldest princess of North Korea was given a marriage to Jia Daishan as his successor.

Until a long time later, this flower viewing feast where people are more charming than Huajiao has been talked about, but few people noticed that when the emperor and his party hurried away, the eyes of the prince who was driving at that time also kept falling. On the little princess of North Korea.

The empress arranged a flower viewing banquet, and naturally all the ministers in the court invited her, but Mrs. Jia, the future mother-in-law of the Korean princess, did not receive the post. After all, Jia Shishi had just left, and Rongguo Mansion was a funeral home, so it was inconvenient to go there. I can only listen to people and talk about the scenery at the flower viewing banquet that day.

The people in the Rongguo Mansion are all concubines, and they are also younger. It is impossible to be a concubine. Although she may be accused of being a concubine, Mrs. Jia really does not want her granddaughter to be inferior to others. Concubine, it's better to take this opportunity to avoid it.

On the contrary, Jia Daihua's wife in Ningguo Mansion——Jia Sun's family is really sorry, Jia Jing has also reached the age of marriage, she would like to take this opportunity to take a closer look at the daughters of each family, so that she can marry Jing, but It's a pity that they and the Rongguo Mansion are relatives who have not yet left the fifth clothes, and it is inconvenient for them to go as a bereaved family.

She felt sorry in her heart, but it's hard to say that Jia Shi's death was not at the right time. She just had a brief talk with Mrs. Jia about the two princesses. On the right day, she will marry from the palace.

Old lady Jia was slightly displeased. Although she was taken into the palace, the Holy Majesty is also a man. Although the eldest princess of North Korea is not as good as the little princess, she is also a rare beauty. If the sage was thinking about it, would it be possible to get another green hat for Daishan?Do you think the Jia family doesn't have enough green hats?

Not to mention that she has arranged everything inside and outside the Pear Fragrance Garden, isn't this a waste of time?Although she was suffering from a headache, Old Madam Jia still had to say something against her conscience: "He is a sensible person."

Jia Sunshi pursed her lips and smiled, suddenly talked about the historian, and asked in a low voice: "Have you heard about the historian?"

When he said this, Jia Sun's eyes were shining, and his face was full of curiosity and gossip.

Old lady Jia frowned slightly, and said curiously, "Isn't the historian going back to his hometown?"

From the Holy Majesty's attitude, although she guessed that the historian might have committed a crime, she never expected that the historian would dare to commit human trafficking. , but this is also good, if they really want to punish the Nine Clans, their Jia family may be implicated.

Although the Holy Majesty spared the historian, the historian didn't have the face to stay in the capital. He only heard that Madam Shi's July [-] was over, and the historian left Beijing and returned to his hometown.

Thinking of the things Mrs. Shi forced her to keep, Old Madam Jia frowned slightly. Those things were always troublesome, even though they were Jia Shi's dowry in name, they had to find a way to return them to the Shi family.

"That's not true!" Jia Sun said with emotion: "The historians are in a lot of chaos these days. Many families in Beijing who have lost their children have come to make trouble. And has the old lady heard about it?"

Seeing the mystery of Jia Sun's family, the old lady Jia was also aroused curiosity, "What do you hear?"

Mrs. Jia Sun quietly whispered into Mrs. Jia's ear, "I heard that Mrs. Shi's daughter has been abducted!"

"Huh!?" Now Mrs. Jia was really surprised. She also met the daughter of Shi's family, Sister Tong. Although she didn't like Shi's family, she had to boast that she was really lively and cute. , playing well with Brother She, this good boy stays at home, how could he be abducted by someone?

"I think it's the historian's retribution." Jia Sunshi gloated a little. Although she and Jia Shishi were sisters-in-law, Jia Shishi disrespected her as the elder sister-in-law because of her rich dowry, and always wanted to overwhelm her. Seeing that the historian suffered a disaster, she was so happy that Tibet really couldn't hide it.

Jia Sun took a sip of tea, and continued: "The Shi family really couldn't stay in the capital this time, so he wanted to go back to his hometown, but the Shi family's first room and the second room were arguing about a separation. For some reason, I lost the child."

Although it was gloating, but Jiasun is a woman and a mother after all, so she naturally knows the importance of children to mothers, and Mrs. Shi has only such a biological daughter, so I am afraid that she is going crazy.

"What a pity." Mrs. Jia sighed, she really felt sorry for the child.

"That's not true!" Jia Sunshi also said with emotion, "Now everyone, Mr. Shi, refuses to go back to Shi's hometown, saying that he will stay in the capital until his daughter is found."

"Oh!" Mrs. Jia wondered: "She is not afraid that even her concubine will be lost along with her? Is Shi Lao Er's family also left to her?"

"The Shi family has separated, so who can control the other. I heard that Mr. Shi moved back to his mother's house directly. As for Mr. Shi's bastard, his aunt took care of him."

Old Madam Jia frowned slightly. Although the Holy Majesty decreed that the property should be confiscated, the dowry was not confiscated. However, how much money can a concubine and aunt have in their hands, and Mrs. Shi made it clear that they would let go of it. I am afraid that the days will be difficult in the future. up.

Mrs. Jia asked again tentatively, "Mr. Shi, you really don't care?"

Jia Sun nodded and sighed: "She is only looking for her own daughter. She can manage the concubine. Although she gave some money, but the historian's family property has been confiscated, how much can she have? I heard that even the travel expenses back home It's not enough."

Speaking of this, Jia Sun felt a little emotional, "I really didn't expect that the historians of the four major families would fall into this field."

Old lady Jia narrowed her eyes slightly, remembering the things Mrs. Shi had entrusted her to keep, and remained silent for a long time.
