Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

With this award, Jiang Yan finally moved from the doctor's position, from the fifth-rank Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Justice to the third-rank Dali Siqing, and was promoted four ranks in a row.Although many functions of Dali Temple have been separated after the establishment of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it is also a real department with real power.The so-called joint trial of the three halls refers to the joint trial of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate.Moreover, the emperor was so excited that he even entered Jiangyan as Uncle Hongwu. Now the Jiang family can be regarded as a family with a title.

It seems that just when he remembered that his third son was still a bald prince, Situ Sheng's title came down——Prince Rui, although the concubine's background is a little low, she is finally a prince like his brothers.The emperor didn't even think about mentioning the matter of the princess, he seemed to have decided to pretend to be deaf to the end, Situ Sheng didn't say anything, he just wanted to have an identity, now that the prince is in his hands, other things are not important.

Situ Yuehua also has a title, and she is Princess Changning. The fiefdom of Changning is not bad, and it is more than enough than the top, which is not bad.The princess has been a widow for a year now, and although she has the title of emperor, she has never mentioned the matter of marriage.At the beginning, he said that Princess Kefu was about to be married when he turned around, so where would he put his face?So I can only pretend that I don't know, and I didn't take Yuehua back to the palace, and put it in Situ Sheng's place to be raised by him.

Concubine Jiang Shu was also promoted to the position of imperial concubine, and now she is concubine Jiang Shu, at least on an equal footing with the mothers of other princes.It's a pity that the title is just changed, the palace is still the same palace, and there is still no power without power. Life is easier, but compared to the other concubines, it is very different.

On the birthday of the newly promoted Concubine Jiang Shu, the sons and daughters who already had titles of titles entered the palace to pay their respects.Situ Sheng looked carefully at the situation in the hall, and it was not like there was no vase in the snow hole in the past.Even so, the porcelain in the hall is all from this dynasty, and there are no high-quality goods.There is not a piece of ancient porcelain, and there are no famous calligraphy and paintings on the wall. At first glance, it is not bad. If you look carefully, even the rooms of ordinary officials' wives are better than hers.Although his mother and concubine's face has improved a bit with her diet, the fatigue in her eyes is still the same, which shows that she is struggling to survive.If it wasn't for knowing that this is the imperial palace, how could it not make Situ Sheng feel sad...

"Mother!" Situ Cheng prostrated himself on the ground, "Mother has suffered all these years!" At the side, Yuehua also bowed down.

Concubine Jiang Shu quickly helped her son and daughter up, with tears in her eyes, "It's nothing, good boy, mother is fine..."

Concubine Jiang Shu doesn't know what happened to her son and daughter... Although the two children have titles, they are still dwarfs. She herself has been neglected. The counselor came up with such an idea, I'm afraid they won't be able to live a life like this...

Seeing the congratulatory gifts from her sons and daughters, Concubine Jiang Shu smiled and praised repeatedly.Concubine Jiang Shu's smile faded when she heard the box in Jiang Yan's study. "Your uncle does have such a box, so it's no wonder people will ask. The box originally contained some old clothes left by your grandparents. When our family fled to Beijing to join relatives, my mother couldn't do it halfway, so I had to Hastily buried, and now the grave has long been lost. Before she died, she left us three brothers and sisters, each with a medicine jade Buddha statue, and let us keep it as a memory. Later, after entering Beijing, the marriage failed, but it attracted robbers. In order to protect me and elder brother, my father ignored my little sister, and let those hateful kidnappers take my little sister away, and we will never see each other again..."

"The medicine jade Buddha statue?" Situ Cheng seemed to think of something when he heard the words. The medicine jade is colored glaze. As a prince, he had seen it before, but a thought flashed by, "What kind of medicine jade Buddha statue?"

Concubine Jiang Shu didn't say anything, and took out a medicinal jade with a network embedded in it from the purse at her waist. She saw that the medicinal jade was colorful, and it was a statue of Buddha. When it was turned over, there were two characters "Joy" engraved on the back. .

"Are the three Medicine Jade Buddha statues all from the Buddha?" Situ Sheng asked.

"That's not true." Concubine Jiang Shu said: "The eldest brother got Guanyin, I got Buddha, and my younger sister got Maitreya. The engravings are also different. Guanyin engraves peace, Buddha engraves joy, and Maitreya engraves Kangning. Five colors."

"Brother, have you ever seen a similar medicine jade?" Yuehua thought of something and asked hurriedly.

Situ Sheng nodded, "Jiang Yuan, when I saw Jiang Yuan for the first time, I saw a Maitreya with medicine jade on him, and it was Kang Ning engraved on his back!"

"Jiang Yuan, but isn't his surname Jiang?" Concubine Jiang Shu asked suspiciously.

"Mother and concubine, Jiang Yuan's mother's surname is his mother's surname, and his deceased mother's surname is Jiang!" Situ Sheng said.

"Could it be..." Concubine Jiang Shu held her son's hand tightly, "My little sister...then Jiang Yuan belongs to my little sister..."

Situ Sheng patted his mother's hand, and said softly: "Mother Concubine, don't worry, I'll ask Jiang Yuan what happened tomorrow."

A tear fell from Concubine Jiang Shu's eyes, "Cheng'er, you must ask about Jiang Yuan's background!"

"My child understands." Situ Sheng said seriously.

On the day of rest, Jiang Yuan originally wanted to go to the antique shop, but he did not expect Prince Rui's mansion to invite him early in the morning. He rushed there without knowing what was going on, but the first thing he said when he entered the door was the first question about his background.

Jiang Yuan was startled, but there was nothing he had to tell others, and his life experience was not a great secret, since he had voted for Prince Rui, it was nothing to say that he knew about it, so he said: "My father Jia Di is a The eldest son of Jia Daishan, the first Rong Guogong. At the beginning, Rong Guogong used his wife as a concubine to change his original wife Xu into a concubine with the help of Baolinghou Shijia. First, he sold the eldest son of his original wife to work in a mine. Hui was expelled from the Jia family, the grave of his grandmother Xu was also dug up, and his descendants were ordered not to be named Jia, otherwise the whole family would be disturbed, so I took my mother's surname."

Although there are many secrets in this life experience, what Situ Cheng wants to know is not this at all, "What about Ling Ci? Do you know Ling Ci's life experience?"

"Xianci was abducted since he was a child. He has gone through a lot of ups and downs. He has been a beggar and a servant. He only remembers that his ancestral home is in Chengdu, Sichuan. He has parents, brothers and sisters at home. I don't know the rest." Jiang Yuan said puzzled.

"Did your mother leave that medicine jade?" Situ Sheng asked hastily.

"Medicine jade?" Jiang Yuan took the five-colored glass Maitreya Buddha from his neck and handed it over, "Is it this? It is indeed a relic of Xianci."

Prince Rui took the Yaoyu and looked at it carefully, the texture was exactly the same as Concubine Jiang Shu's, and the word "Kang Ning" was engraved on the back in a small seal, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, Jiang Yuan was definitely my aunt's son!

Situ Sheng returned the medicine jade to Jiang Yuan, and said solemnly: "My mother and concubine also have a medicine jade like this, with Buddha on the front and the word 'Xi Le' engraved on the back. Wearing a piece of Maitreya's medicinal jade, the word 'Kang Ning' is engraved on the back!"

The bomb was big enough to blow Jiang Yuan's head off, and he didn't recover for a long time.When I was reading history books in my previous life, I hadn’t seen the deeds of Dou Guangguo, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty. There was actually a real version of Dou Guangguo staged!His bleak mother turned out to be Concubine Jiang Shu's younger sister!And the identity he just gave to the Jiang family is now placed on himself, and he can be regarded as the queen of Cheng'an Hou!Fortunately, he didn't have any other careful thoughts, otherwise, once his identity was revealed, he would be tied to Prince Rui, and it would be a dream to go to someone else.

Jiang Yuan was a little dizzy, but at this moment he must not be dizzy, instead he had to answer Situ Sheng's question.He racked his brains to recall the deeds of his mother who had only been with him for four years, told Prince Rui one by one, and finally told about his growth experiences over the years, talking about it in a daze, he didn't even know that he had said it What, I was still restless until I left the palace.

After Jiang Yuan left, Situ Yuehua turned out from behind the screen. She wanted to secretly meet the unparalleled Mr. Jiang, so she kept hiding behind the screen. At this time, she came out after seeing them finish talking. "Brother, my aunt has suffered so much, my uncle has suffered so much, and even Mr. Jiang himself has suffered a lot. Both his parents died at the age of four, how did he survive..."

"What are you calling Mr. Jiang? You should call him cousin." Situ Sheng withdrew a smile and joked, "Since Jiang Yuan is my aunt's son and has adopted the surname Jiang, he is your cousin and my uncle." Like a cousin at home."

"Cousin...cousin." Yuehua's face was flushed with embarrassment. She secretly looked at Jiang Yuan from behind the screen just now. I blushed.

Situ Sheng looked at his blushing younger sister, thinking in his heart, if Jiang Yuan and Yue Hua... don't know if there is such a fate.

Rongguofu.

Mrs. Wang was leaning on the couch, and her youngest son was taken away at noon, she just felt empty in her heart.She had only three children in total. The eldest son, Jia Zhu, was taken away by her mother-in-law as soon as he was born, and the eldest daughter, Yuan Chun, was also taken away before the full moon. Mother-in-law still refuses to let go?

She took Jia Zhu away, but she endured it.The eldest son did not live up to expectations, and she failed to keep her eldest son, but she died at the age of three or four, making her Zhu'er the eldest grandson of the mansion. The reason why the old lady took her eldest grandson away was to win over the old man and increase Jia Zheng's status , for this she can only endure.

She took Yuan Chun away, but she also endured it.Happy birthday Yuanchun, the birthday on the first day of the first lunar month is the same as Grandpa □□, ordinary people can’t help it, being raised by the super-class Duke’s wife will be even more precious in the future, being able to find a good family is also for the good of Yuanchun for the rest of his life.

But her youngest son, that's her lifeblood!This child had a hard life when he was born, and others blamed him for all the evil things, so why didn't he think that it was such a blessing that he was born with jade?Now she is about to be taken away by that old godly woman before she has been raised for a few months. This is not taking away a child, it is clearly trying to gouge her heart and kill her!

"How is Zhu'er now?" Zhou Rui's family came to deliver the account book, and she asked casually.The younger son can't help it, but the older son has to worry about it.

"Go back to Madam, the uncle is already well, and he is studying and improving every day." Zhou Rui's family replied: "My maid cooks some soup every day for the uncle, and the uncle's complexion is much better."

Mrs. Wang was relieved when she heard that her eldest son was in good health. Although the younger son was taken away, fortunately the eldest son was fine.But she thought about it again, what good can a maid cook soup every day to seduce her son?Sure enough, it was not a good thing, and he even said that the child was born in some family, and he didn't even understand the rules. How could he do such a thing before the filial piety period, wouldn't it make Zhu'er face ashamed.Pooh!If the old godmother hadn't bypassed herself and made the decision, she would never have let those messy maids get close to her Zhu'er.

After sending Zhou Rui's family away, Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable and did not want others to feel comfortable, so she ordered the maid to ask Aunt Zhao to come over and fan her.Seeing Aunt Zhao's aggrieved look while supporting her stomach, Mrs. Wang felt sick for a while.The servant girl who climbed onto the master's bed while she was pregnant, wished she could beat the girl to death with a stick, but now it was an advantage for her to just let her play the fan, but she was still full of grievances.For the sake of her youngest son, someone actually rumored that she had created auspicious omens in order to compete with Aunt Zhao for favor!I don't even look at what that thing is, but it's just a servant born in the family, a servant of many generations, and the one born is just a bastard, can't you still want to get your nose up?

Now the housekeeper in the mansion is in the hands of Mrs. Wang. She flipped through the account book in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the money was not enough. In a hurry, she threw the account book on Aunt Zhao's face, "It seems that this is a good idea. The face is different, the delicate one can't even fan, why don't I order someone to teach you."

Aunt Zhao didn't dare to talk back, so she knelt down and begged for mercy.Mrs. Wang didn't want to spare her, and ordered her to kneel and play the fan in the room, but she was thinking about how to get some money.The family in the mansion has a big business, and a year's worth of horse chews costs thousands of taels of silver. If there is a wedding or funeral, it will cost a lot of money.Zhuangzi's prospects are enough, but she asked her brother-in-law to secretly sell several Zhuangzi in the south a few days ago, which is not enough.But can this be her fault?That old godly woman was able to sell the sacrificial land of her ancestors, and the old man was so mad, why couldn't she sell the Zhuangzi in the public house?If I hadn't caught this handle, when others accused her of creating auspicious omens, the housekeeper would have been taken away by the big house, so could the old woman speak for me?She was able to sell the farm and put the money into the private treasury because of this trick, otherwise the old lady would have kept the money bag so tightly that no money would leak out, so how could she have taken advantage of it.

She finally understood that the old godly woman seemed to be looking towards the second room, but no one looked down on her inside. She used the second room as a gunman to suppress the first room, and then used words to hook the first room to make them hopeful. They're trying to find a balance.On weekdays, it seems that everything is ignored, but in fact, when selling sacrifice fields, the hands are very neat.The juniors in the family were either raised by her, or worshiped her like a god or bodhisattva. They all separated from their parents and only knew to please her to live, so she lived a comfortable life.

Not to mention, this also taught me something, the so-called parents are not as good as Yin Zi in their arms, as long as they can hold Yin Zi, not everyone has to hug her.

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth. Zhou Rui's family said that the loan usury matter is not impossible, but it cannot be placed in her name, otherwise it will be a problem.Putting money in the name of the big house, and putting the money in your own treasury when you get it, this is a clever plan...
