The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 270 Xue Chongyi and Jia Meiren Enter the Seal
Zhou Rui's family sat on the twig, peeking at Xing Xiuyan's expression.

Xiuyan didn't care about it, she sipped the tea carefully, and said after a long time: "So, the third girl agreed to enter the palace?"

Zhou Rui's family salivated and said with a smile: "This is a great thing, what is the third girl unwilling to do? Others think that such an opportunity can't be obtained! Although the third girl also felt awkward at first, the second wife analyzed the relationship. Naturally, she had nothing to say. Aunt Zhao knew about his wife's decision, and she was very grateful to go to the second wife to kowtow. .”

Xiuyan smiled lightly, the effect was really good, Wang Ziteng was on the verge of dying, he was already at the end of his battle, and at this time he couldn't make waves in the court, so he planned to do some tricks in the harem, Wang Ziteng was considered a visionary.

However, Xue Baochai is only for the Xue family, and the third girl finds out whether she can contribute to the Jia family or not. The Wang family wants to use this opportunity to seek future development, but it will be difficult.

Zhou Rui's family looked at Xing Xiuyan: "The third girl is going to enter the palace in a blink of an eye, and now she is about to disperse the things of Qiu Shuangzhai. Some of them are going to be sent to Miss Xing. I was sent here today to talk about this matter. The third girl also Knowing that Miss Xing doesn't lack those things, it's just a little bit of thought."

Zhou Rui's family ordered the outsider to bring in a box, which contained many old books, not the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, but some poems and travel notes, or some rice paper and ink.

"The third girl also said that Miss Xing doesn't have to think about paying her back. After all, she is going to enter the palace. There are strict rules in the palace. Bringing things will cause taboos. It's better to go clean and clear."

Xiuyan nodded and said in a low voice: "She can figure this out, which is better than many people's foresight. Since she is willing, I can't say anything else. You go back and tell her that if you meet in the palace If something is difficult for a while, I will go to the Fifth Prince. Although His Highness is still young, he can understand many small things, and he can help her to some extent."

Zhou Rui's family laughed again and again: "That's naturally good. With Miss Xing's words, the second wife and Aunt Zhao will feel at ease."

Meilian sent Zhou Rui's family away for a while, and when she came back, she sighed: "It's a pity that if the third girl marries Young Master Biao, it would be a good marriage. Now I go to the palace to compete with those women, and I don't know how it will end."

Mi Ying said angrily: "We only feel sorry, but the Jia family may not be. I guess, Aunt Zhao may be very happy!"

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Xiuyan took out the gold and silver scissors just sent by the housekeeper's wife to inspect, and said casually while looking at it: "The higher you climb to Tanchun's position, the smoother the road is, and Aunt Zhao's death will come. faster."

The two were surprised and asked why.

"Mrs. Wang is narrow-minded and can't grasp the big things, but she is very careful about such trivial things. Don't see that Tan Chun usually doesn't treat Aunt Zhao as a mother, but she subsidizes Jia Huan everywhere in private, and often sends servants to her. Boy Huan sent pens, inks, papers and inkstones, only saying that he couldn’t use them up, and it would be a pity to throw them away. In fact, they were all excuses, and the purpose was to hope that Jia Huan would pay more attention to reading.”

Mio sighed: "It's a pity that Jia Huan's mud can't support the wall, and he failed the kindness of the third girl."

Mrs. Wang is most jealous that her buddies in the mansion overwhelm Baoyu academically, even her own grandson Jia Lan is no exception, let alone Jia Huan.When Jia Huan was born, Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang to raise the child herself, but Mrs. Wang shrugged off that she was unwell, and even Baoyu had to be taken by her sister, so she couldn't do two things.

It was hard for Jia's mother to say anything more, and with Aunt Zhao and Jia Zheng begging hard, the matter of raising the concubine under the name of the aunt's mother finally came to nothing.

Aunt Zhao blindly doted on Jia Huan, and Mrs. Wang deliberately encouraged this trend. When Jia's mother realized something was wrong, Jia Huan was hopeless.In addition, Jia Mu put her mind on the two jades, so she ignored them.

Jia Tanchun discovered the root of the problem at a young age, a hundred times better than her father Jia Zheng.

When having dinner in the evening, Mrs. Lu mentioned the matter of Tanchun, with some regrets in her mouth: "Everyone has their own fate. Back then, I thought Tan girl was going to marry the princess as a dowry. Who would have thought that she would enter the palace?" Is it? Fortunately, your aunt is looking for Yingchun, no, she sent someone to deliver a letter not long ago, saying that she will come to Beijing to marry you during the Double Ninth Festival."

Xiuyan was overjoyed: "Auntie is coming? Why didn't I know?"

Xing Zhong smiled and put down the bowls and chopsticks: "I just want to tell you. Your uncle means that he will not leave after he comes this time. Now our family's business spreads all over the country, and Xiniang Village is not what it used to be. Almost every household raises Buffalo lady. The benefits are getting thinner and thinner. Your uncle has some savings, so he wants to come to the capital to open a small shop. Zhang Yi also has a place to stay when he returns to Beijing to report on his work every year."

Lu's rushed: "The important thing is, your uncle is afraid of wronging the bride, and always feels that girls in the capital may not be willing to marry and suffer in the countryside."

Xiuyan smiled coldly: "How about the countryside? I think the folk customs are simple, which is simpler than the right and wrong in the capital." However, she changed the subject suddenly: "It's okay if you don't come here, Zhengde's place will last for two or three years at most. The emperor is about to assign important tasks to him. The two cousins ​​are about the same age as Zhengde. Isn’t this an old saying, brothers who fight tigers, and father and son soldiers. Let the two cousins ​​follow Zhengde to practice and practice.”

The couple looked at each other, and Xing Zhong said in a deep voice, "Your mother and I also have this guess, but your uncle didn't mention it in his letter, so it's not easy for us to ask."

Xiuyan put crispy green bamboo shoots in Xing Zhong's bowl: "Auntie wants to have this meaning, we don't need to ask, she will naturally mention it when she comes."

Xing Zhong smiled and winked at his wife with an air of being a woman who is full of everything, and his flamboyant appearance caused Lu Shi to roll his eyes again and again.

Wang Ziteng's hands and feet were really fast enough, and within half a month, his memorial to Yangxin was delivered to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.While pretending to be concerned about Wang Ziteng's condition, Xiaozong lamented that the old minister's heart cannot be disappointed, so he immediately issued an order to confer Xue Baochai as a maiden, whose status is much higher than Xue Baoqin's when she entered the palace, so that people dare not underestimate her.

On the other hand, Tanchun, because she has Xue Baochai on her, she looks much less beautiful as a beauty.

When the concubines in the palace were facing enemies and regarded Xue Baochai as a thorn in their side, who would have thought that it would be Jia Mei who was lucky first, and Xiaozong seemed to be very fond of this woman, staying in his palace for two nights, On the third day, he was promoted to Chongyuan, only under Xue Chongyi.

When Xiuyan heard the news, she couldn't look up to her smile, and Meilian was amazed: "The third girl is really... What are those things that girls often say?"

Mio scolded with a smile: "I still want to shake my burden in front of the girl, it's 'a person can't be judged by his appearance, and the sea can't be measured'."

Meilian nodded again and again: "That's the sentence. I saw that the third girl was usually cold, and her words and deeds were upright, but she really dared to make a move at a critical moment!"

Xiuyan sighed slightly in her heart, it seemed that most people were thinking of Meilian and Mio.However, I don't think so. Putting Tanchun and Xue Baochai together, the former is far less cunning than the latter.If I guessed right, it must be that Xue Baochai didn't want to be the first bird, so he took advantage of the situation and retreated, allowing Tanchun to block most of the hostility.

But there is only one thing that can't be explained.

Xiuyan found an opportunity to call Zhengde home, and only talked about the strangeness.

Zhengde waved away all the attendants, and even asked his personal eunuchs to guard the door far away, not allowed to approach.

"What are you doing so mysteriously?"

Zhengde lowered his voice and said: "Even if my sister doesn't come to ask me, I will tell you about it. At first, I only thought of my father as liking Jia Chongyuan, but later I felt something was wrong. During the past month, my father, After dinner every night, I must go to the imperial garden for a walk. At first, some concubines wanted to have a chance encounter, but Concubine Zhou was reprimanded by her father because of this, and she is still cold today. The concubines are not happy when they see this Dare to make a mistake, every time after dinner, I would avoid going to the imperial garden."

Xiuyan rolled her eyes, and guessed something: "I'm afraid that the emperor is having a tryst with a beauty, and naturally he would be unhappy to be disturbed by Concubine Zhou."

Zhengde clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Sister guessed right, so tell me, who is this beauty?"

Of course it was Xue Baochai.

Xiuyan's heart trembled: "No wonder, no wonder the emperor didn't grant Xue Baochai the title, presumably because he was afraid that she would make too many enemies. Tanchun's entering the palace is a god-sent opportunity."

During the time when Zhengde entered the palace, he had never seen the emperor be so attentive to any woman.Xue Baochai was an exception. He had a faint feeling in his heart that the queen's strongest opponent had already appeared.

Xiuyan also thought of this.The more a man loves a woman, the more he wants to protect her.It's a pity that the women in the harem can at most get some pampering, the emperor is ruthless, and the days of pampering are limited.

How can Xue Baochai not be surprised when she has received a unique protection?
She used to think that Xue Baochai had no support in the palace and could join forces with Zhengde.However, after hearing what she said today, Xiuyan completely changed her mind.Xue Baochai will not be a woman who is easily satisfied, she can definitely get more things by relying on Xiaozong's favor.

For example, the prince, such as the imperial concubine, such as the throne in the middle palace.

At that time, Zhengde will become her stumbling block.

Xiuyan pulled Zhengde and said: "Before Xue Baochai has no heirs, you can have a relationship with her, but always remember that once she has her own son, your cooperation will end immediately, no matter what she says, you just ignore her." .”

Xue Baochai can now use Tanchun as a shield, but in the future for the sake of her son, she may not push Zhengde in front of her.Xiuyan doesn't want to be selfish, but she has to be selfish.

Zhengde is doomed not to fail, and what he got in exchange for his failure was the disaster of the Xing family.

Xiuyan's heart moved, and she quickly found a copy of "Hou Han Zhi" on the shelf and put it in Zhengde's hand: "Give this to Jia Chongyuan."

Zhengde didn't understand what it meant. If he said that he was familiar with the "Hou Han Zhi", what was his sister's intention?

Xiuyan smiled and said, "You don't need to ask, Jia Chongyuan will naturally understand after seeing it."

Zhengde had no choice but to accept the letter in doubt, and sat for a while before getting up and returning to the palace, but after thinking all the way, he almost turned the book to pieces, and still had no clue.
