The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

In the blink of an eye, it was February [-]th, the day when the second daughter of the Jia family came out of the cabinet.On this day, the Jia Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it was very lively.It was rare for Jia Amnesty to shed a few tears when leaving the sedan chair, expressing his reluctance.Jia Lian's brother, who is a direct relative, couldn't come back because he was still in office, so he could only send a carload of things before the wedding, as a makeup for Yingchun.

After Jia Yingchun's marriage, Xue Pan got married not long after.On that day, the Xia family's dowry snaked for most of the street, blinding many people's eyes.Many people privately commented that the dowry of this royal merchant is even richer than the dowry of the lady of Ren Guogong's mansion!The Xue family made a fortune this time.I don't know if the girl from the Xue family will be as rich as this girl from the Xia family when she leaves the cabinet next year!

Aunt Xue has been smiling from ear to ear all day, and Mrs. Wang also has a proud expression. After all, the Xue family is her relatives, and the face of the Xue family is naturally hers.What's more, when she entered the palace a few days ago, Yuan Chun quietly told her that the imperial physician took her pulse and said that the baby in her womb was a boy!Yuan Chun's belly is almost seven months old, and the little prince will be born in three months. Mrs. Wang is full of spring breeze and ambition these days.

Mother Jia didn't go to Xue's house for a wedding because she was unwell, and Lin Daiyu didn't go when she said she wanted to take care of Mother Jia.In the evening, when Mrs. Wang and the others came back drunk, Jia Baoyu danced excitedly, "Old Ancestor, it's a pity that you didn't go today. Not to mention, the dowry of the sister-in-law of the Xue family is really eye-opening." , It’s really a red makeup, I heard that the Xia family brought most of their wealth as a dowry to the sister-in-law of the Xue family, what a love for daughters!”

Mrs. Wang has a faint pride on her face, and she is obviously quite self-satisfied.

Mrs. Xing smiled disdainfully, "Yes, the Imperial Merchant is the Imperial Merchant, rich and powerful. I don't know how much dowry Miss Bao will bring when she comes to marry tomorrow? Second wife, do you think so?"

Mrs. Wang's complexion was a bit ugly, but Jia's mother turned a blind eye to it. She just smiled at Jia Baoyu and said, "You little man, do you know what ten miles of red makeup is? Don't talk about the far ones, let's call you Aunt Lin when she came out of the pavilion. Huizi, that’s called Ten Miles of Red Dress! Spread out the dowry, it can go around more than half of the capital city! That’s the real Ten Miles of Red Dress! It’s not as good as it used to be now. Your second sister is much simpler when she leaves the court.”

Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "You can't say that, old ancestor, I took a closer look today. Although the dowry of Mrs. Xue's sister-in-law is rich, it is mostly playthings such as gold and silver utensils, or farm shops. , but the second sister’s dowry, there are farm shops, and more are antique calligraphy and paintings, which are really priceless! This kind of heritage is not comparable to ordinary people. The ancestors can’t underestimate themselves!”

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Tanchun approvingly, "Three girls are really good, I thought you little people don't understand these things, but you are blindly blinded by the superficial wealth, who knows that you are a person who understands?" .”

Jia Tanchun lowered his head and smiled, "It's all taught by the old lady and his wife on weekdays."

Mother Jia patted Lin Daiyu's hand with a smile, "Look, she's not taking credit for it."

Mrs. Wang's complexion was a bit ugly, she sat up straight suddenly, "Old lady, I'm happy today, I drank a few more glasses of wine, this time is getting a bit hot, I will take a leave with the old lady, and go back to rest for a while."

Mother Jia laughed, "Now you are just marrying a niece and daughter-in-law, so you are so happy. If you marry a daughter-in-law tomorrow, won't you be the first to get drunk? You are all grandmothers, so even if you are happy, you should have a daughter-in-law." measure."

What Jia Mu said meant something, Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, but she couldn't see anything on her face, she just agreed with a smile.Suddenly Jia Zhen's voice came from outside, "Old lady, it's not good, old lady!"

Jia Zhen also went to Xue's house for a drink today, and returned home only after she got drunk. As soon as she got back to the house, she heard that a little eunuch had come to the house. It was the one who used to come. She had been waiting for a long time. Hearing this, he knew it was the little eunuch under Dai Quan, who thought it was because he didn't have enough money, so he came to borrow money for turnover, and passed away cheerfully.Who knew that the little eunuch hurried over as soon as he saw Jia Zhen, and said in Jia Zhen's ear: "Grandpa Dai asked the slaves to tell you that the concubine Xiande is not well."

Jia Zhen woke up half of the wine at once, grabbed the little eunuch's hand and asked: "What do you mean?" Then she woke up from the little eunuch's frightened eyes, grabbed the little eunuch aside, and asked in a low voice: " What's going on? Isn't the concubine Xiande pregnant? Why is something wrong?" Just as Jia Zhen finished speaking, she thought of a possibility.

With a trembling voice, he asked, "Could it be the empress' miscarriage?"

The little eunuch nodded heartbroken, "I don't know the specific slaves, I only know that the miscarriage of the concubine Xiande is probably related to the eighth princess, but the eighth princess is still in a coma. Even if there is a miscarriage, it won't be good, let your family quickly discuss what to do!"

After finishing speaking, the little eunuch cupped his hands, "I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

With a pale face, Jia Zhen didn't mess up at all, and casually took a purse from Jia Rong that she had prepared earlier, and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, "Thank you for making this trip, Grandpa Dai, I have another big thank you." .Thank you!"

After seeing off the little eunuch, Jia Zhen immediately felt Rong Fu, met Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng on the way, and didn't dare to say anything, just said, "Go to the old lady quickly, something happened!"

After hearing Jia Zhen's words, Mrs. Wang became displeased instinctively, frowned and said: "Brother Zhen is also such a grown-up man, and he should not be more cautious in doing things. What is it to say that an old lady is bad!"

Mother Jia glared at Mrs. Wang, "When are you still talking about this? Brother Zhen is such a person who doesn't know how to measure? If he is so eager, something must have happened. Daughter-in-law Zhu, you take Baoyu and the girls first. go down!"

Li Wan responded, and took Baoyu and others out, and Lin Daiyu invited them to sit in her room.

As soon as Li Wan and others left, Jia Zhen hurried in. Jia She and Jia Zheng followed closely behind. Jia Zhen didn't even catch her breath, so she said, "Old lady, something is wrong. Just now Dai in the palace Eunuch Quan Dai, ask the little eunuch to send me a letter, saying that our mother has miscarriage!"

"What did you say?" As soon as Jia's mother's voice fell, there was a voice over there. Mrs. Wang fainted on the chair. Caiyun and Yu Chuan'er supported Mrs. Wang. She hit Mrs. Wang's crowd and pinched her hard a few times before Mrs. Wang woke up slowly.

Mrs. Wang clutched her chest, tears streaming down her face, "How is that possible! Your Majesty is seven months pregnant, and the little prince is very lively, and the imperial doctor said he is very strong. How can he be so healthy that he will have a miscarriage! Who is trying to harm your Majesty!" At the end, Mrs. Wang was already roaring.

Everyone forgave Mrs. Wang's gaffe at this time. After all, Yuanchun is already in her 30s, and this baby is likely to be her only one. Now she has a miscarriage at seven months, and it is impossible to get pregnant again in the future. .This baby is not only the hope of Yuanchun, but also the hope of the entire Jia family. Now, this hope has been shattered, and everyone feels the same as Mrs. Wang.

After all, Mother Jia is older and has experienced many things. After a moment of sadness, she quickly calmed down, "Is that all you said? Did you say how your empress miscarried? What is your attitude?"

Seeing Jia's mother like this, Jia Zhen felt a little more at ease, or she was an ancestor, and she got the idea in a few words. It seems that Jia's mansion will really be inseparable from her ancestors for a while. What's the use of being the one sitting over there who will only be sad and angry when encountering such a thing!The old ancestors are well-informed and must have a way to get through this pass.Amitabha, it is good for our ancestors to live a hundred years!

"The little eunuch said that he didn't know the specific situation. He only knew that the miscarriage of the empress seemed to be related to the eighth princess. It's just that the eighth princess is still in a coma. The emperor was furious. Dai Quan said that the miscarriage of the empress would be considered a miscarriage. I'm afraid I can't end well!" Jia Zhen finally caught her breath and said everything in detail.

"The eighth princess? She is the most beloved daughter of the Holy One! But, how could she have something to do with the miscarriage of the empress? Could it be that she meant to be with the nobleman?" Mrs. Wang asked after regaining her senses.

"He Guiren is the birth mother of the eighth princess. The eighth princess was born on the same day as the Holy Majesty, and she also looks like the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty loves it very much. Otherwise, because of He Guiren's arrogant and domineering temperament, the Holy Majesty would have been killed by the Majesty a long time ago." The most important point is that He Guiren is Concubine Qi Xian's aunt and cousin. Concubine Qi Xian has always followed her lead. Although Concubine Qi Xian has only one son under her knees, she is the first among the princes to be named a prince. However, even if your mother’s baby is a boy, she is still young and there are so many older brothers in front of her, why would Concubine Qi Xian attack your mother!” Jia Mu said while looking at Mrs. Wang suspiciously, and finally squinted her eyes Asked, "What did you say to your empress?"

Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of something, and her eyes dodged a little. Seeing this, Jia Zheng didn't understand anything, and immediately shouted: "The old lady asked, why don't you tell the truth! The old man eats more salt than you eat rice." Too many, how many times have I told you, why do you not listen to the old lady if you have to discuss with the old lady! Short-sighted! You have hurt your mother!"

Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Jia Zheng, thinking of her daughter who was seven months pregnant and had a miscarriage, she felt sad, "I didn't say anything, I just told my mother that there are so many princes and princesses in the palace, if the little prince is not special One point, I'm afraid everyone will be lost. So I thought, let the empress let out some rumors, for example, when she was pregnant with the little prince, she dreamed of having a day in her arms, so that the Holy One will think that the little prince was born extraordinary, so he will naturally be proud Take a few glances. But the empress did not agree at the time, and I didn't dare to go out to say it, I just casually said a few words to the little maid who picked me up when I entered the palace."

When Jia's mother heard this, she was furious, "It's really something that is not enough to succeed! My poor lady, why do you have such a mother!" Seeing that Mrs. Wang still looked disapproving, Jia's mother and the others cried Xing Xing said, "Where is the palace? It's a wall with wind on all sides. Don't you think it over carefully before you speak? You really dare to think about it! It shows that you have a lot of ambition! Since ancient times , what kind of people are those who have strange omens in their dreams? They are either saints or emperors. If you say this, don’t you mean that you are wronging your mother? It is difficult for your mother to be in the palace, and you are an idiot. Now, now there are no children! Damn you!"

Mrs. Wang cried with tears, "I am also thinking of my mother! My mother's youth is gone, and the future is to be counted on the little prince!"

Mrs. Xing said disdainfully: "The children born by the second wife are all born extraordinary, and they are deeply loved by the Duke and the old lady, so they want to do the same thing and let the empress do the same thing. Hehe, it really is a good plan! It's a pity, the palace doesn't need the mansion, and the Holy Majesty is not an old lady, so you will be deceived easily!" Mrs. Xing had long been dissatisfied with Jia Mu's partiality to the second wife, so it's strange if she doesn't add trouble now.

"Say a few words to me!" Jia She is no better than Mrs. Xing. He knows the inside story. At the beginning, he made a mistake and managed to keep the title left by his ancestors. Therefore, his mother praised the second wife everywhere, which is not entirely true. It is because Baoyu was born with jade.

"You say you are stupid, but you still don't admit it. Of course, everyone has ambitions, but even if they have ambitions, they can't be put on the table. Since ancient times, those saints and emperors have always been born with strange omens, but how did this come out? They are all spread out when they are about to become famous, so as to contribute to their success. Now that the little prince is not born, you are just talking nonsense, are you doing it for your own selfish desires, or for the good of your mother?" Mother Jia was tired from crying, and asked feebly.

Mrs. Wang was silent, she covered her face with her handkerchief and wept.

Jia Zheng sighed and said, "What's the use of talking about it now, mother, tell me, what should we do?"

Mother Jia sighed wearily, "What else can I do? Tomorrow morning, please pass me the Ann Zhezi. Thinking about it, the Queen Mother should give me this face! By the way, tomorrow, take Qiaoer with you, Queen Mother I like Qiao'er, and with Qiao'er here, maybe it's easier to talk. No matter what, let's figure out the situation first, and see what's going on with the empress now!"

Jia Zheng said guiltily, "The old lady is unwell and has to work on the old lady. The sons are really ashamed of the old lady!"

Mother Jia waved her hand, "Forget it, let's go back and rest, I've been tired all day. Let's talk about it when I come back from the palace tomorrow!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng handed over Jiamu's invitation letter anxiously. Fortunately, the queen mother gave Jiamu this face, and soon approved Jiamu's invitation letter, thinking about Jiamu's mood, The right to do things is appropriate, and at about two o'clock, Jia Mu took Jia Wan into the palace.

First went to the Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager exchanged a few words with Jia Mu, and then said: "I know that the old lady is very anxious at this time, thinking about her granddaughter, and the Ai family will not delay you, the old lady will go to Fengzao Palace to visit Concubine Jia! The old matriarch doesn't know yet, but the Holy Majesty has decreed that Jia's title will be taken away."

Mother Jia was terrified, what was going on, the empress didn't say anything about the miscarriage, and she even lost her title, but she didn't dare to show the slightest bit on her face, she just said sincerely and fearfully: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compassion."

The queen mother said again: "You don't have to go there, girl Wan, the smell of blood is heavy, don't scare the child, you just stay here with me, when the old matriarch leaves the palace, you can take girl Wan with you again!"

What else could Mother Jia say, she just gave Jia Wan a look, hoping that she would flatter the Queen Mother well, if only she could get some inside information from the Queen Mother.

After Jia's mother left, Jia Wan felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She stood there with lowered eyebrows, only feeling that the Queen Mother's eyes kept falling on her, but she didn't dare to move.

"Okay, come to Ai's house! See if you are in a hurry." The queen mother said with a smile, Jia Wan raised her head, looked at the queen mother sitting on the footsteps beside the queen mother obediently, and put her head on the On the Empress Dowager's lap.

The queen mother smiled, looked at Jia Wan's beautiful hair, and couldn't help touching it, "Every time Aijia sees you, I want to touch your hair, how do you take care of it, it's so good! "

Jia Wan smiled, but did not speak.When the Queen Mother saw her, she smiled and said, "Did it scare you? Did you know what happened first?"

Jia Wan shook her head, "Mammy said, there are some things that cannot be said or heard."

The Empress Dowager nodded, "It's good that you know this. Some things in the palace are indeed unspeakable and unheard. You have to remember this, whether in the palace or elsewhere, you must never have curiosity."

Jia Wan nodded obediently, but at the same time she was a little puzzled. It seems that Yuanchun's miscarriage involved a lot at the moment!Alas, I don't need to think about it to know what's going on.It's better not to ask too clearly about this kind of thing.After all, in the palace, right and wrong are not so important, what the royal family is best at is whitewashing the peace, isn't it?

Mother Jia hurried to Fengzao Palace, Baoqin was already waiting at the door, Mother Jia looked at Baoqin first, her eyes were red and swollen, her expression was sad, first she was startled, then she looked around carefully, she saw that she was treated well Undoubtedly before, my heart felt a little more at ease.No matter what, as long as the Holy Majesty does not really dislike the empress, then the empress will still have a chance.

"Old lady, you're here!" Baoqin said with red eyes, went up to support Jiamu's arm and walked to Yuanchun's bedroom.It's been the third day since Niangniang's miscarriage, and she finally saw a familiar person.Baoqin finally felt more at ease.

"What's going on? Why did I hear that the eighth princess was involved!" Mother Jia asked in a low voice.

"The old lady doesn't know, our mother is wronged. A few days ago, my mother was walking in the garden, and she happened to see a young eunuch being punished with the nobleman. Our mother was kind, so she said a few good words to the little eunuch! Who knows Smiling face to face with the nobleman, and directly beat the little eunuch to death behind his back. Our mother was pregnant, and couldn't hear these things even more. She really shed a few tears for the little eunuch, which happened to be seen by the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty didn't say anything at the time But when I asked someone behind my back, I found out, and sent someone to warn the nobleman. As a result, the other day, when the empress went for a walk in the garden, she met the eighth princess feeding the fish by the Yu River, and the eighth princess Young, sweet-mouthed, our mother is going to be a mother again, when she likes children the most, she talked to the eighth princess for a while, making the eighth princess ice and snow cute, and bent down to touch the eighth princess, Who knows that the eighth princess didn't know what was going on, she was holding on to the mother's hand, and she was still yelling not to, but she fell into the Yu River behind her, and she was about to pull our mother into the river together, the mother A maid named Cui Huan in the palace stepped forward and hugged the empress. The empress fell to the ground and complained of a stomachache on the spot. But the eighth princess fell into the Yu River. It is said that when she fell, her head hit a stone. , had a cut on his head, and he hasn’t woken up yet. The Holy Majesty likes the eighth princess the most. After hearing the news, he went to the bedroom of the nobleman first, and complained first to the nobleman and the villain, saying that our empress had an affair with that little eunuch. He is selfish, so he has resentment against the nobleman, so he intends to murder the eighth princess. The Holy One is partial to the eighth princess, and seeing that the eighth princess is lying on the bed crookedly. Our empress had a miscarriage, and she never softened her heart. She directly deprived her title of empress. Finally, the empress thought about her miscarriage, and ordered the House of Internal Affairs to take care of her. Poor our empress, the miscarriage has never been visited by the Holy Majesty. Pass." Baoqin cried with tears in her eyes.

After listening to Jia Mu, she didn't speak, she just looked at Baoqin, and Baoqin looked a little guilty.Jia Mu lowered her eyes, "Now that you are all grown up, you don't tell the truth one by one. Now, you are still not telling the truth. Will you wait until the day when you have nowhere to go before you will tell me the truth! The second wife is a , now even you are like this!"

Baoqin was chilled by Jia Mu's eyes, but he still lowered his head when he thought of Yuan Chun's words.

Mother Jia sneered, and walked in, and a bloody smell rushed towards her face. Mother Jia frowned involuntarily, walked to Yuan Chun's bed, knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to Concubine Jia, and my mother is safe."

Jia Yuanchun opened his eyes, and when he heard Jia's mother's words, he gave a pale and wry smile, "Is the old lady blaming me?"

Jia's mother said solemnly: "The minister's wife dare not. The empress is serious."

Jia Yuanchun took a few breaths, "Old lady, I have no other choice. I have something in that person's hands, so I can only follow her orders. I didn't expect to pay such a price. The specific matter is related to the matter." Gong Wei, the fewer people who know about it, the better. It’s better for the old lady not to know about it.” Jia Yuanchun took a few breaths, and then said, “I’m already like this now, so let’s let the eighth princess recover. Either way, the Holy Majesty will definitely be angry with me. The old lady will go back and tell the master and wife, don’t act rashly for me, and pretend that you have never given birth to my daughter! Cultivate Qiaoer well, and I hope she has better luck than me.” After speaking, Jia Yuanchun fell asleep on the pillow, eyes closed, tears streaming down his cheeks.

When Jia Mu heard this, her heart was pierced like a knife, "Mother, you are cutting my heart with a knife! Now you still refuse to tell the truth, what do you want me to do? Just sit back and watch? You Do you want me to die of grief? Ah!" Mother Jia said, crying!
