Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 153 Wang Xifeng enters the palace to express gratitude

Decent, two simple words, are almost priceless to the ancients.

Queen Zhou's generosity is truly a generosity. The wedding dress was worn once by Empress Zhou when she was the princess, and it was hidden at the bottom of the box ever since. This time she took it out and gave it to Wang Xifeng to make a wedding dress. The whole set of jewelry was also what she had worn when she got married, and was given as a reward together.

Just such a super-standard wedding dress and jewelry, this is not a family heirloom, but an amulet. As long as Wang Xifeng is not guilty of treason in the future, as long as Queen Zhou is around, no one will dare to think about it.

It can only be said that Queen Zhou is too ruthless. She either doesn't do something or does it to the extreme.

Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded, and the women of the Wang family were so jealous that they almost went crazy!
Eunuch Sun looked on with a smile, without any urging. After Wang Xifeng returned to his soul and thanked her, he left with a smile. Naturally, the Wang family accepted the banknotes they handed over with a polite smile. I dare to accept this money as much as I want, and I can tell it openly after I return home.

This whole day, Wang Xifeng was not very awake, and it was difficult to get out of the feeling of walking in the clouds.

The women in the Wang family's backyard, regardless of their status, all came to take a look and congratulate him. Wang Xifeng's raised chin could not be lowered all day long. The impact was so strong. Everyone knows that Queen Zhou is not here for Wang Xifeng, and she can't help her marry well.

Compared with Queen Zhou, Emperor Chenghui was much more "stingy". He only rewarded a batch of silk, brocade, porcelain and jade through Yuanchun's hand.

And it was three days after Queen Zhou rewarded Wang Xifeng!

All the diners looked at Jia Zheng's dull face with complicated expressions, and at the same time they were worried about how long the treatment of a leisurely diner could last. After Wang Xifeng came in, she must be the one in charge of the house. When the time comes when Jia Zheng wants to take money from the public servants to support his retainers, he will definitely let him know, right? Even if Wang Xifeng has no objection, he still has to ask Jia Lian, right?
Thinking of Jia Lian, these disciples felt even more bitter. They are all scholars. These people actually have the best chance to take over Jia Lian. However, they are Jia Zheng's retainers. They are afraid that their boss will be unhappy, right?
At the Rongxi Hall, Jia's mother, who was in a state of excitement, looked at her daughter. Jia Min stood up with understanding and said: "Mother, such a great event should be celebrated with a banquet."

It can be said that since Jia Lian was born, Jia Zheng's status has really deteriorated day by day.

Jia Zheng strongly agrees with this statement. After all, he is not qualified to inherit the title, but he has become a fifth-rank official.

Speaking of this matter, if you want to talk about jealousy, you must have the qualifications, right? Among the women in Rongguo Mansion, the only ones who have the right to be jealous are Jia Min and Mrs. Wang. When Mrs.

After being shocked for a while, Jia Mu came back to her senses, looked at her daughter and wife, and could only sigh: "Feng'er is really lucky!"

I really can't understand why the emperor is so optimistic about Jia Lian? It doesn't make sense at such a young age. Therefore, it can only be due to too much luck, and the Jia family also benefited. Thinking of Zhou Rui's report about the incident of serving wine in Prince Dongping's palace to apologize, Mrs. Wang became more and more certain of this.

Mrs. Wang sat aside and said nothing, thinking the same thing in her heart. The Wang family has face, but it is not to the extent that Queen Zhou gave her wedding clothes and jewelry. It can only be the result of Jia Lian.

Jia Min nodded upon hearing this: "That's the truth!"

Jia Zheng, who was reciting poems and having fun with several diners, heard the news from Chang Sui. He dropped the wine glass in his hand and fell to the ground and broke with a "pop". After the Emperor's meeting, after Jia Daishan left, there were rumors in the capital that Daishan's remaining wealth was all in Jia Er's hands.

This was indeed the case before Jia Lian appeared.

Jia Lian, who came back to his senses, sighed and said, "The kindness is too heavy! Well, that's it. Go report to the old lady and make her happy." As he spoke, Jia Lian asked Ping'er to follow him.

A group of women congratulated Jia Mu one after another, and piled up their kind words like free money. Youshi in the crowd did not move forward, but looked at Jia Lian secretly from where she was. When they felt the gaze, the two looked at each other, and Youshi, who was watery, Shi held on for a few seconds before bowing his head.

When everyone was getting ready, Jia Min took Jia Min and whispered: "When I wanted to find a good matchmaker for Lian'er's marriage, the King of Beijing, the King of Dongping, and the King of Xining all rejected me. In the end, it was the Nan'an County King who said loosely. . I know that it was Nan'an County Wang who accepted your father's help back then. I thought that this favor would be used up, but I never thought that there would still be this day."

Jia Lian was a little confused after receiving the news. Which song was Queen Zhou singing?

The unified voice of the powerful circles in Beijing, Jia Zheng is the top male member of the Jia family in the court.

Jia Mu stood up tremblingly and said, "That's right."

Mother Jia laughed angrily at these words, raised her hand and hit Jia Min lightly and said: "You are not bad at marrying, but Lian'er is so lucky, even Feng'er has brought along the rest of the Jia family. .”

In the past, he could scold Jia Lian with a straight face, but now Jia Zheng walks around the Rongguo Mansion and really avoids Jia Lian.

For the first time, Jia Min agreed without any objection: "Yes, this life is too good. My eyes are red."

At the Rongxi Hall, as Ping'er explained his purpose of coming, Jia Mu stood up in shock and murmured: "Ancestors bless you! Ancestors bless you!" Jia Min was shocked and opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't close her mouth for a while. It's not that she has never seen big scenes before, but the news before her is still too shocking. The current queen gave Wang Xifeng her wedding dress and jewelry. How can this be reasonable?
When Wang Xifeng got married, the East and West mansions really went sideways, and the only one who could restrain her was Jia Lian. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian gave the impression to the outside world that he was a maniac who doted on his wife. Thinking of this, Jia Min glanced sympathetically at Mrs. Wang, whose eyes were red.

Ping'er, who came to deliver the letter, was also very excited and didn't know what to say, so he stood quietly.

Jia Min smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "Mom, Lian'er has a saying that is good. As a human being, you have to rely on yourself. It's better to have your father and your mother than to have it yourself. The same goes for the Jia family. They don't live up to their expectations, and the legacy left by their ancestors No matter how much shadow there is, it will eventually be used up."

It was a lively day on the Jia family's side, and the Wang family's side was no less generous.

Wang Zisheng directly announced that the dowry originally prepared would be doubled, plus 5,000 acres of fertile land at his hometown in Jinling.

No matter how dissatisfied the Wang family was, they kept it in their stomachs at this moment, and no one dared to show their teeth.

It is true to say that this matter is the honor and favor brought by Jia Lian, but this is the daughter of the Wang family who is marrying. After receiving the reward, Wang Xifeng got up early the next morning, took a bath and changed clothes, and went to the palace to thank her.

Wang Xifeng, who entered the palace for the first time, was naturally anxious along the way. Before going out, the aunt next door repeatedly explained the etiquette. After entering the palace gate, I forgot everything. Like a puppet, he moved with the eunuch.

Before arriving at Kunning Palace, there was a woman in palace makeup standing on the roadside, with a eunuch and a maid behind her.

Seeing Wang Xifeng, the woman took the initiative and said, "Feng'er, I am your sister Yuanchun."

Wang Xifeng woke up instantly. After all, she was from the second wife.

He quickly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Wang Xifeng has met the noble man!"

Yuan Chun didn't have the airs of a concubine at all. She stepped forward and took Wang Xifeng's hand and stood on the roadside to talk. The eunuch who led the way didn't rush him. He even walked out a dozen steps and waited at a distance. "Don't let anyone see you outside. I am able to live in this palace today thanks to the Qilin'er born in the Jia family."

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with her hands in shock, her eyes were rounded, and she looked completely in disbelief.

"I don't know the specific reason. You can ask Brother Lian when you go back to find out." Upon seeing this, Yuan Chun continued to explain. Wang Xifeng felt better now, but it was still unbelievable. How could Jia Lian affect Yuan Chun in the palace? Woolen cloth?

Naturally, Yuanchun would not explain to her in detail here what the role of the natal family was. With three thousand beauties in the harem, is it a place lacking beauties? Is this a place where you can get favored by your looks? Even if you are favored, can you maintain it for a long time? Today, His Majesty is indeed lustful, but he pays more attention to practical interests. I couldn't say these words, I could only hold Wang Xifeng's hand to encourage her.

"With brother Lian here, Feng'er can feel at ease. The queen is a very gentle person, you will know it when you meet her. Time is running out, and it is not convenient for me to see you off. When I meet the queen, I will talk to you again. " Yuanchun explained and left.

What Wang Xifeng didn't know was that if Yuan Chun could come forward and say a few words, he would first ask the emperor for permission, and then ask the queen for mercy.

For this reason, Yuanchun agreed to Emperor Chenghui a condition that was previously unacceptable.

Of course Wang Xifeng knew why Yuanchun entered the palace. Daughters from powerful families had the consciousness of being sent to the palace to seek honor and favor at a very young age.

This kind of thing will not change at all due to personal will.

In ancient times, the probability of a woman marrying according to her personal wishes was lower than buying a lottery ticket. People like Wang Xifeng, who came from a certain social status, are better off. People like Ping'er can tell the dowry just by looking at their titles.

The appearance of Yuan Chun still greatly eased Wang Xifeng's mood, and when he moved forward, the anxiety in his heart was greatly reduced.

Entering Kunning Palace, I saw the queen sitting high in the distance, and I suddenly became a lot more nervous. She went forward and knelt down to greet me, and thanked the favor very seriously and formally. After the queen said goodbye, she was helped up by the maid next to her. He was trembling when he spoke.

Due to Queen Zhou's status, it was very easy for her to win over the female family members of a foreign minister.

No, Empress Zhou stood up, stepped forward with a smile, took Wang Xifeng's hand and said softly: "Oh, where did Jia Lian get such a blessing? To marry such a fairy-like person, if he doesn't come closer, he will still be regarded as an orphan. Fairy Lingbo has descended to earth."

In the original work, Wang Xifeng was described with the words "divine concubine and fairy", which shows that her appearance is excellent, and she is really not inferior to the other eleven hairpins.

When Empress Zhou saw her, she secretly marveled. They all said that Jia Lian doted on his unmarried daughter-in-law. If I were Jia Lian, I would still dote on such a person. After thinking about Jia Lian's appearance and talent, I started to envy Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng calmed down, thanked Queen Zhou for her compliments, thanked the Queen again, and by the way told her about meeting Yuanchun on the roadside. It just didn’t say the specific content of the conversation.

Queen Zhou said she didn't care, but asked about Jia Min. Talking about her interactions with Jia Min when she was a girl, Wang Xifeng learned that Jia Min and Empress Zhou were close friends. Empress Zhou was slightly three years older, and the two were sisters. It's just that after they got married, it was difficult to see each other again. I learned that Jia Min went to Beijing to recuperate. I didn't summon him because I was worried that it would affect Jia Min's recuperation.

This was for Wang Xifeng. In fact, the reason why Jia Min was not summoned was because of Lin Ruhai's identity. Without legitimate reasons, Queen Zhou summoned Jia Min, which meant sending a political signal.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng couldn't understand these, so he could only write them down silently and tell someone to tell the Jia family later.

After staying in Kunning Palace for two quarters of an hour (half an hour), Wang Xifeng took the initiative to leave. It wasn't that he didn't want to stay longer, but that the queen could only stay for two quarters if she didn't take the initiative to stay. Queen Zhou didn't leave her alone, and asked someone to lead the way to Yuanchun.

When they arrived at Yuanchun, Wang Xifeng hadn't knelt down yet, so Yuanchun stepped forward to support her and said, "I'm a member of the family, no courtesy."

Yuan Chun took Wang Xifeng's hand and the two sat down next to each other. Yuan Chun naturally asked about the preparations for the wedding.

Wang Xifeng told all the news she knew. After hearing this, Yuan Chun said: "I'll go back and ask for a favor and see if I can come out of the palace to congratulate you." Wang Xifeng stood up in surprise after hearing this: "Why do you work so hard for a noble man?"

Yuan Chun pulled her back and sat down and said: "The Queen has rewarded the dowry, but my sister can't take action, so she has to reward Brother Lian."

Wang Xifeng thanked Jia Lian on behalf of Jia Lian, Yuan Chun chatted some more, and Wang Xifeng's entry into the palace was finally completed.

After leaving the palace, Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er waiting outside and got into the carriage together before speaking.

"Brother Lian asked me to read and write. Only when I went to the palace to meet the Queen and Concubine Yuan did I realize the benefits of reading. The Queen praised me, Fairy Lingbo, and I can praise the Queen Mother of Yaochi without running out of words. Losing Brother Lian’s face.”

Ping'er nodded repeatedly and said: "My uncle is a fairy-like figure. I must have expected that she would have this day when I first met the young lady. In the future, when the young lady gets married, my uncle's thoughts will come first."

When others say this, Wang Xifeng can spit on her face, but when Ping'er says this, she must respect her own words.

Wang Xifeng listened to her heart and replied with pride: "Of course this is the case. Brother Lian has done everything he can think of and can do. I am the head wife. Naturally, I don't dare to embarrass him at all after getting married. You don’t know that Brother Lian has made great efforts to achieve Sister Yuanchun’s position in the palace. This is what Sister Yuanchun said personally, and there is no lies in it.”

Ping'er was stunned after hearing this, and after a while he asked in a low voice: "Is this happening?"

Wang Xifeng bumped into Ping'er triumphantly, and whispered in a low voice: "If you go back and marry me, it will be of great benefit to you."

Ping'er was a smart person, so he naturally refused to accept these words easily. Instead, he whispered: "I don't dare to think too much. I have to wait until the lady is inconvenienced before I can help her."

Wang Xifeng was naturally very satisfied and didn't think much about it. At this moment, her mind was full of longing for the scenery and beauty after getting married.

"If a woman reaches this level in her life, she will probably have nothing more to ask for." Wang Xifeng did not dare to have any more extravagant hopes.

Ping'er joked: "What, the lady doesn't want to give birth to some fat boys for my uncle?"

While the two were having a fight, Jia Lian entered the Ministry of Industry. The Minister and the two ministers were present, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
