The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

On the day when Jia Wan set off, Jia's mother got better.Early in the morning, when Jia's mother got up, she asked Yuanyang to dress neatly and sat on the couch, waiting for Jia Wan to say goodbye.

Jia Wan dressed neatly and walked in. Mother Jia looked at her. She was wearing a bright red dress, a cloak trimmed with white fox fur, and a pair of moccasin boots.Mother Jia nodded her head in satisfaction, "This outfit is very nice, bright and good-looking, and looks energetic."

Jia Wan untied her cloak, saluted Jia Mu with a smile, and threw herself into Jia Mu's arms, "Old Ancestor, after I leave, you have to be obedient and listen to Sister Yuanyang more. Now, Aunt Lin and I are not here. You can listen to Aunt Yuanyang's words. Sister Yuanyang is also for your own good. You have to eat and rest on time, so you don't have to worry about other things. Your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Can you still worry about them for the rest of your life? Take care of yourself, Aunt Lin will add a few more great-grandchildren to you in the coming year, and you have to watch over them!"

Jia's mother smiled and put her arms around Jia Wan, "Okay, what you said is good. Qiao girl, you should be careful when you go to your parents' place. I know your father's temperament. , nothing big will happen. Your mother has always been a bold person, and she doesn’t believe in any kind of retribution. I’m only worried that she made a mistake at the moment. But Feng girl didn't know what was going on, and she became a little unfamiliar overnight. If her words and deeds were not the same as before, I would have wondered if she had changed. Forget it, now and What do you say. After you pass by, look at the situation. If there is anything wrong with it, you can just tell them. If they don't listen, you can say it is mine!"

Jia Wan was terrified in her heart, this Jia's mother was really her own sperm, she was scheming, there was nothing the Jia family could hide from her, even Wang Xifeng's change could not escape her eyes.Although she was shocked, Jia Wan said with a smile on her face: "Why don't the ancestors give me a ruler or something, and if Daddy doesn't listen to me, I will beat him with the ruler!"

"It's a beautiful idea! How dare you beat your father! You should be more careful! If you offend your father, no one will protect you!" Jiamu said with a smile.

"The old lady, the first wife, the second wife, the eldest grandmother, the second grandmother, the third girl, and the fourth girl are here." Hu Po walked in with a smile and said.

Jia Wan got down from Mother Jia's arms and stood aside.After Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang finished greeting Jia Mu, they sat down one by one, and Jia Wan went forward to greet the elders with a smile.

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Get up quickly! The old man is waiting outside, he said he will personally send you out of the city and come back."

Mrs. Wang also smiled and said, "It's going to be a smooth journey! Be careful on the road and don't conflict with others."

Jia Wan nodded her head one by one, and Jia Tanchun asked, "Are you going by land or by water?"

Jia Wan said with a smile: "I heard that it is by water, and the water is faster. Go south along the canal, and when you arrive in Hangzhou, take a horse-drawn carriage."

Jia Xichun said enviously: "It's great, you can see a lot of scenery on the road."

Xue Baochai took a small box from Ying'er with a smile, "Here are some medicines that I have prepared by someone, and they may be needed on the road. Take it with you, just in case you need it." Jia Tanchun Jia Xichun also brought over the gift he had prepared.

Jia Wan smiled and took it over, "Thank you Second Aunt for remembering, you and Aunt Lin really have a good understanding, Aunt Lin also prepared a copy for me."

Xue Baochai said with a smile, "It's all about being prepared."

Just as I was talking, Amber came in again from outside, "Old lady, ladies and grandmothers, the elders outside are urging you to hurry up, otherwise it will be bad if you miss the time."

Jia's mother's eyes were red, "Your grandfather is really too, can't you let us girls talk more? Is this the rush?"

Mrs. Wang hastily persuaded: "I heard that the bodyguard bureau was invited to escort along the road. They are most particular about the timing. It would be bad if they missed it."

Jia Mu asked again: "What bodyguard agency? Is it appropriate?"

Jia Wan hurriedly said: "Second Uncle helped to invite it. It is said that it is between the life and death of Second Uncle. Second Uncle and others have the grace of saving lives, so it couldn't be more appropriate. Speaking of this, I remembered that Second Aunt gave birth to a little brother. At that time, I guess I was not in Beijing, and I had someone prepare the ceremony for the second aunt and Aunt Lin to give birth to a younger brother, and the ceremony for the third and fourth aunts to leave the court. Sister. The ancestor must remember to send it for me when the time comes. Don't be rude."

Jia Mu was originally full of melancholy, but when Jia Wan said this, she was happy, "Yes, I understand, don't worry! I will send it to you."

Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun, etc. also blushed, and Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction, "Qiao girl is right, but in a year or two, there will be several happy events at home, and the old lady will have a few more great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. !"

Mother Jia nodded with a smile.

Someone was called outside to remind me.Mother Jia sighed, "Forget it, you have to leave early or late. Wan'er, go! Your ancestors won't see you off. Take care of yourself all the way!" Say it, wave your hand, and turn around. Turn your head away and refuse to look at it again.

Mrs. Wang personally put on the cloak for Jia Wan, and carefully helped her fasten her belt, and patted her on the shoulder, "The spring is cold, remember to add clothes, don't be greedy for the cold. You are not allowed to stand in the mouth of the wind. Xiaohong, right?" ? Try to persuade your girl more."

Xiao Hong nodded her head in agreement, "Yes, this servant knows."

Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun, and Jia Xichun personally sent Jia Wan out of Rongqing Hall to the second gate.Standing at the door reluctantly waved goodbye.

When they arrived at the gate of Jia's mansion, Jia Amnesty was riding on a horse, looking around impatiently, and said from time to time, "Have you come out yet? Why are you so slow!"

Jia Yun smiled and said: "It must be that the old lady and the ladies have something to ask, so it is a bit late."

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes and muttered, "Women talk too much!"

Jia Yun smiled, but she was complaining in her heart, do you dare to go to the old lady and wife to say what the old man said?

Suddenly Jia Wan came out surrounded by people, seeing Jia She's impatient face, Jia Wan didn't fear him, and walked forward with a smile, "Please trouble the old man."

Jia She gave her a white look, "It's good if you know, get on the carriage soon. We're all waiting for you!" Then he turned his back and continued to mutter, "What do you do with so many things for a small family! Trouble!"

Jia Wan got into the carriage, opened the curtain, and looked up at the door plaque of Rongguo Mansion. She didn't know what it was like when she came back.

In the restaurant by the pier, Yang Zhenxuan and Lin Daiyu stood side by side in front of the window on the second floor, watching the bustling crowd on the pier. "Since you can't bear her, why don't you go back to Jia's house to see her off?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head, "I'm a married woman, it's not good to always go back, and there are many Jia family members, even if I go, I can't say a few words. It's better not to go."

Yang Zhenxuan put his arms around Lin Daiyu's shoulders, pointed down and said, "Here, come, do you think that is the elder of the Jia family?"

Lin Daiyu looked in the direction, just in time to see Jia She riding on a tall horse looking around, very complacent! "That's right, it must be Wan'er in the car behind."

Yang Zhenxuan said with a smile: "Let's go down now?"

Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't want it anymore. The word parting is what I dislike the most. You don't need to go down. It's useless to talk. I just hope she has a smooth journey."

Yang Zhenxuan said with a smile: "You aunt and nephew are always compatible, now that she's gone, you don't even show your face, aren't you afraid that she will be angry?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head, "She knows me. She won't be angry."

Over there, Jia Wan got out of the carriage and looked around. She was leaving today, so Aunt Lin would give her a gift, right?The Jia family didn't see anyone, so she thought they might be here at the pier.Where is it?

Jia Wan's eyes were sharp, and after a while she saw Lin Daiyu standing in front of the window on the second floor of the inn, and she waved her hand vigorously there.Lin Daiyu covered her mouth in surprise, tears streaming down her face involuntarily. "She saw me!"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu only knew how to cry, Yang Zhenxuan smiled helplessly, and waved to that side.I only saw Jia Wan say a few words to a maid behind her, who nodded and then ran towards this side.

Jia She frowned, "What are you doing?"

Jia Wan smiled and said, "I saw an acquaintance and I have something to say. It will be done right away."

Jia She said displeasedly: "Hurry up! The things have already been loaded onto the ship, and as soon as people get on board, the ship will set off. If you delay any longer, the ship will not wait for anyone!"

Jia Wan said with a smile: "I only brought Xiaohong, a capable servant girl, and the other two are useless. If Xiaohong doesn't come, who will serve me! Or if I see a suitable maid on the way How many to buy?"

Jia She gave her a blank look, "Hurry up and get on the boat first!" Then he told the boatman to wait for a while.

Xiaohong ran up to the second floor out of breath, and seeing that it was Miss Lin, she smiled and said, "Our girl said, please don't be sad, Aunt Lin, it's important to take care of yourself in everything. The girl also said that although spring has already begun, After all, it's cold outside, please take the Yang family uncle to my aunt's house! The girl said, she knows how my aunt treats our girl, the mountains and rivers always meet, she only looks forward to the moment of reunion!"

Lin Daiyu was already sobbing at this time, Yang Zhenxuan patted Lin Daiyu's back tenderly, and nodded to Xiaohong, "I see, you should go back quickly! Tell your girl and let her rest assured."

Xiaohong was also afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the boat, so she hurried back when she got the word.

Jia Amnesty saw Xiao Hong approaching from a distance, and just now his brows relaxed. He rode on the horse and pointed at Xiao Hong with a whip, "I'm so good at serving your girl! If your girl loses a hair, I'll take you as a question! Don't forget, your family is still staying in the mansion!"

Xiao Hong's face turned pale, "This servant will obey the orders of the Elder Master."

Jia Amnesty also wanted to say that when he saw the curtains on the cabin move slightly, he knew that the girl might be getting impatient, so he said, "Okay, okay, go in quickly! Be careful on the road!" The last sentence was a little loud, obviously Let Jia Wan hear it.

Jia Wan simply put on a cloak and came out, "Master, it's cold outside, you should go back earlier! Don't ride a horse when you go back, be careful of the slippery road. Go back by car! Please drink less alcohol in the future, master, and take care of yourself The granddaughter has gone." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed firmly to Jia Amnesty.

The boat was slowly sailing away, Jia Amnesty was teared up by Jia Wan's actions, tried to open his eyes to see clearly, but was blinded by tears again.It took a long while before he calmed down, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his tears and nose.At this time, the ship had gone so far that it could no longer be seen clearly.

The servant came forward, "Master, it's time for us to go back. Are you riding a horse?"

"It's winter, what kind of horse do you ride? Don't you feel the cold? Go back in a carriage!" Jia Amnesty said angrily.

The servant laughed and waited on Jia Amnesty all the way back.Sitting in the spacious and warm carriage, Jia Amnesty felt the hot air and his eyes hurt. He sniffed and opened the window, but saw a familiar figure. Jia Amnesty froze and patted Car wall, "Stop, stop quickly."

The carriage stopped, and without waiting for the boy to move the stool, Jia Amnesty jumped out of the carriage and ran to the left, "My lord, my lord, why are you here?"

Zhao Minglan turned around, "General Jia, why are you here?"

Jia She said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated the lord for making Zhang and tiles yet!" One of Zhao Minglan's side concubines and concubine concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively. Congratulations.

Zhao Minglan smiled, and asked with a smile: "Why did General Jia come here?" He has a lot of things going on in the mansion recently, and he has a new son and a daughter. There is no difference between a son and a daughter and a descendant.Coupled with the fraud case in the Jiangnan imperial examination, Jiangnan Xuezheng is the brother-in-law of the fourth brother. As soon as the fraud case came out, people's hearts fluttered. He negotiated with his staff day and night and hadn't paid attention to Jia's family for a long time.

Jia She said with a smile: "Hehe, my granddaughter is leaving for her father's place in Yunnan today, and I'll see her off. Now I only have two grandchildren, a boy and a girl. Although she belongs to my daughter's family, in my heart, It's the same with my grandson. She's gone today, and I don't know how soon I can see her again, so I don't feel relieved, so I personally send her off."

Yunnan?Isn't that the territory of King Dian?Zhao Minglan instinctively remembered something related to Yunnan. The king of Dian was a king with a different surname. He joined the army with Emperor X. He made great achievements in battle and saved Emperor X.'s life many times in the chaos. □□Emperor later ascended the throne as the emperor, it is not clear whether it was a reward or a distribution, and Yunnan was rewarded to him, and he was named King of Dian.For 300 years since the founding of this dynasty, the king of Dian has been sitting in Yunnan. No matter how the court changes, Yunnan has always been firmly in the hands of the king of Dian.All previous emperors respected and guarded against the King of Yunnan. Although they set up a garrison in Yunnan, they could only wander outside of Yunnan.The King of Dian also adopted the same attitude towards the imperial court. More than half of the officials in Yunnan counties were appointed and dismissed by the Dian King.Jia Lian is the latter.Jia Lian was the magistrate of Fuyuan County at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Zhao Minglan recalled these, and just remembered the meaning of Jia She's words, she left?Went to Yunnan?Why did no one report on such an important matter?

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Minglan looked forward, and Jia She said sensibly, "My lord still has important matters to do, so I won't bother you, my lord, please!"

Zhao Minglan nodded and strode forward.

Jia Amnesty smiled smugly, stroked his beard, and thought that he had done the right thing to send Miss Wan away on a whim.Otherwise, how could I meet the prince by chance?If there are more chance encounters like this, maybe the prince will remember me.

Jia She went back with a smile.

As soon as Zhao Minglan returned to the palace, he saw Mingzhu, the maidservant next to the princess, approaching, "My lord, are you back? My lord, please come over!"

Zhao Minglan originally planned to go back to the study directly, but when he heard that the princess was invited, he changed his mind and went to the princess' yard. "Princess, what do you need from me?"

Li Yanwan smiled feebly, "It's like this. This morning, the servant girl next to Concubine Yang came to report that Concubine Yang had stopped changing her bath for two months and asked the imperial doctor to check her pulse, saying that she was happy. One thing is that side concubine Fang came over just now and said that she wanted to bring brother Bao to my yard. I reasoned that I couldn't decide on this matter and it was up to the prince, so side concubine Fang left."

Zhao Minglan frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Li Yanwan. Seeing the anticipation in the other's eyes, she knew that the princess intended to adopt a child. "Forget it, Brother Bao. If you really want to raise a child, Sister Ling is pretty good. Her biological mother's status is low, so there is nothing to worry about."

Li Yanwan was a little disappointed, but she also knew that with Zhao Minglan's temperament, it was impossible for him to raise Brother Bao to himself. There would only be more and more children in the future, and it was difficult to distinguish the good from the bad, but if he kept it by her side, Even if his status has not changed, his identity is still faintly higher than his brothers.Presumably Concubine Fang also thought of this, so she changed her high-spirited look in the past and wanted to hug Brother Bao to her side.Because Concubine Yang is pregnant, the prince will not have only one son, Brother Bao.For the good of Brother Bao, Concubine Fang will be ruthless.It's a pity, the prince won't let such a thing happen.

"That's what I said! I just saw Sister Ling in the morning. She is fat and cute. It's just that I'm not in good health. I'm afraid I'm powerless to take care of Sister Ling. What I mean is, it's better to combine Concubine Li Shu and Ling My sister moved to my yard, and I still let Concubine Li Shu take care of her, after all, a wet nurse is never as careful as a biological mother!" Li Yanwan said with a smile.Sister Ling is currently the only girl in the mansion, and she is even more loved by the prince than Brother Bao, but Concubine Li Shu is not as flamboyant as Concubine Fang Fang, Concubine Li Shu is a smart person!For smart people, Li Yanwan doesn't mind supporting them.

Zhao Minglan nodded resolutely, "That's fine. There should be a child in this yard. It's more lively, and it's good for you to recuperate. It's not good to be bored at home all day long."

Li Yanwan nodded, "By the way, there is one more thing. The eleventh brother left a note saying that he would go out to play for a few days."

Zhao Minglan frowned, "This kid, why are you messing around like this? It's not peaceful outside, how dare he run outside?"

Li Yanwan said with a smile: "It is said that the mother agreed, and also convinced the father. It is said that he went with Zuodaotai, and there are guards with him, and the old horse is also there! The prince does not need to worry. He is afraid that the prince will not allow it." , That's why I left a note and left without saying goodbye."

At least Zhao Minglan was relieved, and sighed with his hands on his forehead: "This kid, the bigger he gets, the more outrageous he is, he has become a runaway horse! When he comes back, he will be thrown to the Beijing North Camp and let the house train him!"

Li Yanwan pursed her lips and smiled, the person who is most used to Xiao Shiyi is you, you still have the nerve to talk about others.Turning around, Xiao Shiyi cried at you, and you softened again, agreeing to any conditions.After Eleven left, I slapped my legs in annoyance.

Zhao Minglan was embarrassed by Li Yanwan's smile, and thinking about Jia Wan, said: "I still have something to do in my study, so let's go there first, and have lunch with you at noon."

Li Yanwan wanted to send her out, but Zhao Minglan stopped her, "It's cold outside, you don't have to go out. When the weather gets warmer, I'll accompany you to the garden when I have time. Don't send her off, I'm leaving."

Li Yanwan stood there, watching Zhao Minglan walk through the yard, around the screen wall, and disappeared there, feeling unstoppable sadness in her heart, the sun outside was shining warmly, but she didn't dare to go outside. With a dilapidated body, he couldn't even walk outside freely.What's the point of her life?

But she couldn't bear to die, she couldn't bear the prince, she couldn't bear much.She managed to survive until today, why did she have to die.Make this great deal cheaper for others.Why?It was her who accompanied the prince through those years of obscurity, and it was she who accompanied the prince from the years when everyone bullied and despised him all the way to today.She will never give up all this.Absolutely not.

Zhao Minglan went back to the study, rummaged through the desk, and finally found a few letters, opened it, and it probably meant that the old lady of the Jia family wanted Miss Jia to go to Yunnan.Looking at the date again, the most recent one was half a month ago.In the latter part, it may be that the people below saw that he did not respond, and thought that he was not paying attention to the Jia family's affairs, so they did not write any more.

Zhao Minglan threw the letter paper into the brazier, watched it burn to ashes, and just sat down on the chair all of a sudden.Staring at the flames in the brazier in a daze.For some reason, he always had the feeling that things were about to get out of control.

Could it be that there is something wrong?

It's not that Zhao Minglan likes Jia Wan so much, but she's just a yellow-haired girl, how can she be so beautiful?It's just that for a long time, in Zhao Minglan's perception, Jia Wan was a pawn arranged by the queen mother and queen around him, and it was a bridge for him to win the trust of the queen mother and the family behind him. Therefore, sooner or later, Jia Wan would be his own.

However, Jia Wan's sudden departure made Zhao Minglan a little at a loss, why don't she put some people around her?Forget it, now is the critical time, I have to assign manpower to protect Eleven, brother Bao and sister Ling also need to arrange people around, and there will be other children in the future, the places that need manpower will only increase, it is too busy No one will come out.

Nothing will happen, it's just a pawn, where she falls depends on where the person who plays the chess puts her in the final analysis.Her future was doomed from the very beginning!
