Headwind of the Red Mansion

Chapter 52 I worship you first and then the queen?
The next morning.

Qin Mansion.

Because the news of Jia Qianglian's outstanding achievements has already spread throughout the capital.

A group of colleagues who rarely come and go take the initiative to come to the door, gather to celebrate, it is very lively, Mr. Qin is extremely happy, his old face is wrinkled into a flourishing chrysanthemum.

Suddenly a gatekeeper hurried in and reported, "Master Xia, the eunuch of Liugongdu, has come to issue an order."

The frightened Qin Ye and others didn't know what the news was, set up an incense table, opened the door and knelt down to receive it.

Early on, I saw Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu, arriving on horseback, followed by many internal eunuchs.

That Xia Shouzhong didn't bear the imperial edict, got off his horse in front of the eaves, smiled all over his face, went to the hall, stood facing the south, and said in his mouth:

"Special decree: Immediately Xuanlong bans the commander of the town demon commander, and Qin Keqing, the fiancée of the fourth-rank Jia Qiang, enters the Kunning Palace, and worships with the queen during the Dragon Boat Festival."

After explaining a few more words, I didn't have time to drink tea, so I went by horse.

The Qin residence suddenly became chaotic.

……

The courtyard in front of Kunning Palace.

Under the bright red sun, the green smoke curling up from the incense burner presents a purple haze, and the smell of cosmetic powder flows in the air.
In the courtyard, Mrs. Gao Ming gathered together, which can be said to have concentrated a large number of high-end green teas.

On such a grand day, all make-up according to the grade, phoenix crown and xiapei, and palace attire are present. In an instant, there are bright purples and reds, a lot of beauty, and the sound of step shaking, jade pendant and golden stone jade law resounds.

The grades are different, and the makeup is different.

The status is clear at a glance.

Everyone communicated in a reserved and elegant whisper, all kinds of booing and asking for warmth, false smiles of hypocrisy and condescension one after another, and in the depths of their eyes, there was indifference and sarcasm.

Invisible swords and swords, you come and go.

Jia's mother brought Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zhen's wife Youshi to attend. There were four princes and eight princes, and Jia's family occupied two seats. Naturally, there were all kinds of princes around.

Daqian inherited the system of the Tang and Song Dynasties in terms of the code of the wife, the first and second grades are for the wife, the third grade is for the gentlemen, the fourth grade is for the respectful, and the fifth grade is for the pleasant.

It stands to reason that Jia Zheng is a fifth-rank Yuanwailang, and his wife cannot be a wife. Because Jia Zheng is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, he is an exception.

Suddenly, the court lady led a woman dressed in a different style into the courtyard, which caught the attention of all the women.

It's different, because all the wives of officials strictly follow their ranks and wear the official "official uniform", but this woman is still dressed in an ordinary way, even a little plain.

Wearing a moon-white smoked gauze skirt that stretches to the floor, with a tulle tulle in the arms, a peony flower is inserted obliquely on the temples, and there is no jewelry or jade on the whole body, but it is difficult to conceal the beauty of the country.

But seeing her graceful and graceful, her flesh and bones well-proportioned, her eyebrows unpainted but black, her hair unpainted but blue, her cheeks unfat but red, her lips unpainted and vermilion, she looked like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Ethereal and brilliant like fireworks.

"Where did this vixen come from?! She is so beautiful, she is a prodigal!"

Mrs. Wang looked at the woman, as if she had encountered a natural enemy, she panicked for no reason, and she didn't like beautiful women by nature.

Mrs. Wang is definitely not the only one who has this idea.

Since ancient times, beauty has been a disaster.

If a woman is too beautiful, it is a sin!
It is even the disaster of ruining the family and ruining the country!
King You of Zhou played with the feudal lords, Fan Li's gift of alms led to the destruction of Wu, and the beauty of Yang Yuhuan caused Xuanzong to disregard human relations and occupy his daughter-in-law...

They think so, in fact, there is only one reason, jealousy!

The imperial lady who can participate in the worship, and her husband can be mixed up from the fourth rank or above, means that the former flower beauty has aged and faded, or even old age. Of course, she is hostile and repulsed to the blooming beauty.

"Miss Qin, stand here first...the master will call you later!" Unexpectedly, the maid of honor would lead Qin Keqing to Old Madam Jia's side.

……

"Whose family are you from? The skin is so beautiful!" Mrs. Jia looked at Qin Keqing curiously and asked kindly.

"Back to the old lady..." Qin Keqing bowed his knees and said all blessings, "I am the daughter of Qin Ye, the governor of the Ministry of Industry, and Qin Keqing, the fiancée of Jia Qiang, the demon chief of Longjinwei Township. I was just appointed yesterday, and there is no regulation yet."

"Jia Qiang, who is lawless in Ping'an Prefecture and is making troubles in the Heavenly Palace? Are you Jia Qiang's fiancée?! Tsk tsk... so young is a man of honor..."

The old lady who spoke was the old lady Chaopin Gaoming Liu from the Liguo Duke's Mansion, but her eyes were sharp and her tone was harsh, "Do you understand the rules of Gaoming ranks? You have to kowtow to pay your respects when you see Chaopin Gaoming!"

Her daughter is the grandson of Duke Zhi and the wife of Ma Shang.

The so-called homosexuality of the four princes and eight princes stems from the intermarriage of nearly a hundred years. There is no one in you, and you are in me. The teeth are intertwined and monolithic.

The residence of the Duke of Zhiguo was ransacked, and the property in Pingan Prefecture was looted. It also involved the reselling of military horses, causing the Duke of Liguo to lose 5 taels. He was full of hatred for Jia Qiang.

"Since Qing is the daughter-in-law of Jia's family, she must understand the rules so as not to lose Jia's face."

Mrs. Wang held a Buddhist bead in her hand, with a bodhisattva's kind face, and taught in public, "Not only do you have to kowtow to Chaopin, but you must also kowtow to us elders!"

It's fine if you don't help to break the siege, and add fuel to the fire, the whole one is like a Buddha.

The news is lively, and everyone's eyes are on the same page.

Compared with these real giants, Qin Keqing grew up in a small family, where has he seen such a big scene? !

I felt that I didn't provoke anyone, but I was full of hostility. For example, Mrs. Xing, who had never seen Mrs. Jia, had a trace of resentment in her triangular almond eyes.

Can Mrs. Xing not hate it?
Jia Amnesty's 3 taels of smuggled horses are his own money, so there is no income? !

And it can't be said.

Of course, it is not only the Ningrong Mansion that has lost, the four kings and eight princes are more or less implicated.

Qin Keqing suddenly felt like a little white rabbit, deep in the middle of a group of grinning female beasts, the hand holding the silk handkerchief was clenched into a ball, and her face was a little pale.

She didn't wear her favorite bright red when she went out this time, and she didn't even put on a little makeup, just to reduce the sense of presence among a group of ladies.

The gentleman is gentle and moist like jade, while the villain dances and mourns.

Putting it on a woman is even worse.

"It doesn't matter if I'm humiliated, but I can't lose Tan Lang's face!"

Qin Keqing took a deep breath, and said coldly: "The little girl has no experience, but she has read some books. This is in Kunning Palace, right?!
I haven't paid my respects to the Empress Empress of Feng Yi Tianxia, ​​but I want to pay my respects to you first?

Besides, in the queen's court, all low-rank orders must bow down to the old lady first. Where is the dignity of the queen?

Is the old lady defiant?

Or do you rely on the shadow of your ancestors and think that your status is more noble than that of the empress and empress? "

"???" Everyone was stunned.

"What a clever and articulate woman! No wonder Brother Zhen wants to snatch Rong'er as his wife!" Mrs. Jia's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help admiring her a little more.

"The little hoof speaks eloquently, and the teeth are sharp!"

The old lady Liu sneered, waving her sharp claws up and down, almost scratching Keqing's jade face, "If it wasn't for the Kunning Palace, see if I won't tear your mouth open! After paying homage to the empress, we will block here, and wait Kowtow to you one by one!!"

Qin Keqing trembled angrily, like a white lotus swaying in the wind, with tears in her eyes, she stared unyieldingly at old lady Liu.

……

Shenjing North City Gate.

Entrusted by the Holy Majesty, King Zhongshun specially greeted Jia Qiang at the city gate who had returned from victory.

In the original book, King Zhongshun and King Beijing Shui Rong are two opposing forces.

King Zhongshun's favorite actress, Jiang Yuhan, is actually wearing a Qianxiang sweat scarf from King Beijing Jing around his waist.

The bloody thing is that Baoyu was almost beaten to death by Jia Zheng because of Jiang Yuhan.

Just because this handsome actor fell in love with Jia Baoyu at first sight, he actually changed hands and gave the scarf to Baoyu.

Moreover, this red sweat scarf is not an ordinary item, but a tribute item from the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom. Wearing it in summer, the skin is fragrant and does not produce sweat stains.

This is a rare item in ancient times without air conditioning.

Even Jiang Yuhan escaped from Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, and did not escape far, but fled to Red Sandalwood Castle, which is only twenty miles away from the capital.

An actor, why dare to openly betray the high and powerful prince?

There is only one answer, and there are people behind it.

Who is this guy?
Sharks are the only ones who can fight sharks.

King Zhongshun was one of the few princes who supported Emperor Taiping. He didn't like the four kings and eight princes. He heard that Jia Qiang was an abandoned young man expelled from Jia's house, and now he was rising like a comet, so he came to welcome him.

After all, Jia Qiang went deep into the tiger's den to tie up the tiger, which saved Dagan from a military disaster!
At the city gate, besides King Zhongshun, Jiang Ruoshui was waiting in the car to welcome Jia Qiang with anxious faces.

The former one, if he hadn't been blocked by Concubine Xu Gui, might have followed Feng Tang's army to Ping'an Prefecture.

She was severely admonished by Concubine Xu Gui.

The daughter's parents have grown up, they have become bolder, and they have learned to lie.

In order to meet Jia Qiang, she lied to Concubine Xu Gui that she was going to the bookstore.
