The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber
Chapter 94
Zhao Zhizhen watched with a smile on Jia Zhu's expression after saying "flat body", and then slowly stood up, admiring Jia Zhu's surprised face very leisurely - don't mention it, Jia Zhu's expression is similar to Yuan Chun's hearing that he also It should be the same as when it came... It's about [-]% like it.
He waited for a while, and then said, "Aiqing, won't you invite me in?"
Jia Zhu knew that Shengshang Weifu's visit did not want to make a scene known to everyone, otherwise he would have entered the gate with his sister.
And when everyone is here, he will no longer hypocritically advise the Holy Master that "the son of a daughter will not sit in court": I have long known that my younger sister and the Holy Master get along very well, and this time I can go back to my mother's house with my younger sister... I am satisfied with my "little son" "Why don't you just accept it?
He honestly led the Holy One into the study room, and after he was seated, the servants on duty in the room didn't even dare to vent their breath, holding the tea tray in both hands, obviously walking forward slowly, but the gaiwan in the tea tray was shaking slightly all the way.
Jia Zhu frowned slightly, and he simply took the tea tray in his hand and signaled the servant to back down.
The boy was grateful in his heart, stepped out of the house quickly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: The majesty's power is really powerful!Although he is always smiling...but just one look can kill him.
To say that the Rongguo Mansion is prominent is compared to ordinary people.
Jia Zhu also knew his own family affairs: since the two Dukes of Ning and Rong passed away one after another, let alone the first-class family, even the second-class family... can't be ranked high.When the father and mother first heard the will of the younger sister's concubine, they were a little overwhelmed with joy, and it took a long time for them to remember the reward.If the master and wife of the family are like this, don't be too harsh on the servants.
By the way, Zhao Zhizhen's visit here was really a matter of official business, and after chatting for a while, he simply ordered a few more words: Be careful when investigating the family background and power of Wen's family.
The person who revealed the details of the Wen family was Jia Zhu's uncle, Lin Hai: he is from Yangzhou, and he has been in charge of the local salt administration for more than ten years. He is not clear about the intricate relationships in the southern provinces... Lin Hai can be described as a know-it-all in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhao Zhizhen also became more frightened the more he listened.
A general who has been stationed in the land of fish and rice for more than ten years and can intervene in local political affairs, if he catches up with a "good time", is no worse than King Pingnan who established his own country in the southwest and plans to seize Jiangnan!
Those courtiers who are double-faced and speculative are really unreliable.When they got to the south, if they saw that the situation was not good, they could fall to the Wen family at any time.
But he really sent his confidant and beloved minister there, such as Jia Zhu, who he trusted and had high hopes for, and who also had connections and reputation in the south.
Helplessly, the Wen family is a military officer, so they don’t pay much attention when they are in a hurry, so they raised their hand and slashed down with a knife, cutting first and playing later...Zhao Zhizhen firmly believed that the Wen family could do it—even if they got the evidence of the Wen family’s disobedience, they could deal with it in a dignified manner He, his confidant who worked faithfully for him was also ruined: if there is something good or bad, let alone his heart will forgive him, he will have no face to see Yuan Chun again.
Jia Zhu, however, is full of ambition: her younger sister dotes on the harem, and her natal relatives just have more chances to get into the eyes and ears of the Holy One than others...you have to be able to grasp the opportunities!
Of course he knew that this trip to the south might not be smooth, and taking away people's jobs and cutting off their wealth is the enemy of life and death.Therefore, the entourage who accompanied him to the post, except for the two masters who handled general affairs for him all the year round, the rest of the entourage were descendants of the former grandfather Jia Daishan's personal soldiers.On the day when their home was surrounded by the chaotic~army~, these people were loyal and unhurried, they also showed extraordinary skills.
Zhao Zhizhen said again at this time: "Be careful, self-protection is the most important thing! Jinling Wang's Zhen family is your in-laws, I will let Wang Ziteng and Zhen Yingjia listen to you, and send some guards, at least I can protect you well."
Jia Zhu quickly got up to thank her.
At the same time, he was also pondering: Sure enough, Wang Ziteng and Zhen Yingjia still listened to his words.The two masters who were idle or neglected for a year because they followed the wrong person did not swallow their anger in vain.
With the name of "waiting for crimes", but not knowing that there is no chance to "make meritorious service"... These two have a very difficult life.
Watching people order dishes is also the norm in official circles. These two masters also swayed between the eldest prince and the prince. If Yuan Chun hadn't made steady steps from side concubine to noble concubine, these two might not have been able to do so. The idea of "putting it to death and rebirth" was born: Have you ever heard of the Holy Majesty who does not hold grudges? !
The monarchs and ministers chatted for a while about the arrangements after going south, especially who will deliver the news, and who to ask for help in case something goes wrong... In short, after talking for a full quarter of an hour, Zhao Zhizhen ate half a cup of tea, and sent an order Summon Jia Rong.
But he said that his aunt, who was partial to him, went back to her natal family, so Jia Rong naturally arrived at Rongfu early and waited patiently.Unexpectedly, before his aunt opened his mouth, he asked his servant to find him, and met...uncle first.
Of course, this "uncle" Jia Rong only dared to call out in her heart.
In other words, with the help of his cousin Jia Zhu, Jia Rong's method of cleaning up the Ningfu and even the entire clan was fast, ruthless, and accurate: first, he put his father under house arrest, and even cut off all the seats of the troublemaker clan elders in one go. Let the children and grandchildren of these elders bring their elders home to take care of them.
Jia Rong made his fortune in the army, and his behavior is slightly different from Jia Zhu: he is a soldier first and then a courtesy.Hearing the complaints from the old man who was put into custody, he opened the ancestral hall, called all the lords, and the children and grandchildren who were in charge of these old men's families together, and explained the pros and cons to the people of the clan.
The clansmen he cut down are all the deposed princes.
Jia Rong's first job was as a soldier of the Holy Majesty, now that the Ning and Rong houses are combined, he only respects Jia Zhu, and even Jia Lian may not really care.Precisely because of his limited scruples in the clan, his opening remarks made Jia She and Jia Zheng's complexion suddenly changed: it was hard for the family to have a concubine, and she was very respectable in front of the Holy Majesty. Why bother to let the thorn of "abandoned prince" pop up in his heart from time to time when he wants to give more grace to his family?
Even if your future is doomed, don't you care about your children and grandchildren?No one dared to underestimate Jia Rong, who even looked down on her own father when she said this.
Jia Amnesty was stupefied—the shady secrets in his hands couldn't be brought out.
Jia Zheng felt something was wrong, but he only sighed, and he didn't say anything after all—he had always disliked Jia Zhen's words and deeds, but he couldn't say anything to this domineering and ruthless cousin, and he couldn't fight, so he just kept... Out of sight is out of sight.As for Jia Rong, his method is so good, and he...does things rationally!
In desperation, Jia Zheng looked at his son Jia Zhu, who was sitting comfortably next to him.The eldest son's approval was clear at a glance!Jia Zheng's talents are mediocre, but he has self-knowledge, knowing that his son is highly valued by the Holy One... He deeply believes in the vision of the Holy One, so naturally he also believes in his son's means.
That's all...not clogged or flowed, not only not good, but this is what I have done in my life, and I should leave it to my children and grandchildren in the future.
Jia Zhu didn't know that his father had "recognized a great deal" after this incident. He had prepared a lot of words to appease and persuade his father, but unexpectedly...it was useless.But it's a good thing if it doesn't work, no matter how much you try to persuade them, it's a disagreement after all, and it's inevitable that father and son will "blush", isn't it?
But he said that the sweet dates should not be forgotten even if the stick is smashed down.Afterwards, Jia Rong selected people with real talents and knowledge from among the young people, and after a test, she supported them with all her heart.
Sure enough, under the combination of kindness and power, the clansmen gradually became envious of Jia Rong, the young patriarch. These clansmen had longings, regardless of whether they were from literature to martial arts, or just busy with clan affairs. How they will achieve in the future is another story. They are all in a thriving, positive look.
In less than a year, the affairs of the clan are in order, and the atmosphere of the clan has also changed. Yuan Chun was overjoyed when word of this reached Yuan Chun's ears, and she never forgot to talk about it with Zhao Zhizhen.
Yuan Chun was very excited, and pulled Zhao Zhizhen to "plausibly speak", "My natal family... To be honest, I can't choose a few who really stand out. Brother Rong is young, loyal, and has means. If you don't praise him, you can only praise my brother repeatedly. But it’s a bit embarrassing to always praise my brother, isn’t it.”
Recalling the scene at that time, Zhao Zhizhen still couldn't help laughing, turned his head and said to Jia Rong, "Your aunt is full of praise for you."
Jia Rong has a noble concubine to "protect her body", and she has met the emperor more times, and she is no longer cautious about the Holy Majesty, "If you go back to the Holy Majesty, you will not have the courage of the Holy Majesty, the imperial concubine, and the uncle, and the humble minister would not dare to do this... It will be settled once and for all."
Zhao Zhizhen laughed loudly, "Is this what you mean by once and for all?"
Jia Rong laughed dryly, "Learn and apply."
Let Jia Rong make jokes, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.With Jia Zhu added, the three of them talked like family members sitting together and chatting.
As for Yuan Chun, who was in the high seat of the middle hall of the back house of Rongguo Mansion, the family members who surrounded her were also smiling, and their hearts were extremely at ease: there was no such luxurious garden, and even the furnishings in the house were the same as before she got married.
She is living a smooth life, and there is really no need to be tense in front of her family.
She had asked about her family's recent situation with a smile, and Madam Xing suddenly asked, "I heard that nobleman Wu's family got news, so they built a yard... We also want to do our best for the noble concubine."
Yuan Chun nodded, "Auntie has a heart."
Even if Sister Feng didn't look up, she knew that the imperial concubine's gaze had already fallen on their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.She immediately smiled and said: "No matter how hard you are to be filial, you will never dare to be self-reliant."
Everyone here knows that Jia She was close to the deposed prince at one time, and both Jia Lian and Wang Ziteng had leaned towards His Royal Highness; not only Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, but also the two aunts in Jia Lian's house who had amazing financial resources and were full of confidence also wanted to lean on the big tree of the noble concubine. Tree... In short, the top and bottom of the Rong Mansion desperately want and must please the imperial concubine.
This makes sense!Sister Feng did not have the opportunity to control the wealth and power of the Rong Mansion like in her previous life, so naturally she did not have the opportunity to act boldly, at best she was a little aggressive.It is also a good thing to have her come to see Mrs. Xing, Yuan Chun also smiled and said, "That's right. Your Majesty doesn't like extravagance, and our family eats and drinks constantly, so we don't need to be like those people who are frivolous."
According to Yuanchun's current status, let alone in front of her natal family, even in front of the Holy Majesty, she mostly thinks of what to say.
Everyone responded one after another, and said in unison in their hearts: The noble concubine is much more domineering than before she got married!
Having said that, it's not without reason that she was so straightforward with her aunt and cousin.
Jia Lian was able to become an official thanks to Zhao Zhizhen. Although Yuan Chun also knew that this soft-eared cousin had hesitated and struggled for a while, in the end he still insisted on not offending, and even leaned a little bit towards His Highness.Even though Zhao Zhizhen was still the prince and Yuan Chun was still the side concubine, seeing Jia Lian like this, he didn't bother to bother anymore.
Jia Zhu and Jia Rong have been favored by the Holy Spirit one after another, but Jia Lian has stayed put... Everyone knows the reason, but now no one dares to come forward to intercede for Jia Lian, at least Jia Lian himself does not have the courage.
Mrs. Wang has another worry: her natal sister-in-law, the wife of Wang Ziteng, has been doing a lot of tricks recently, and Mrs. Wang is very hesitant to tell her daughter as soon as possible.Although the daughter knew that a big anger would be inevitable, and her brother might be involved, and everyone would be ashamed.
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and then Yuan Chun turned to his grandmother and asked with a smile, "Where are the sisters? Why don't you see me?"
Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun got the will and filed in one after another. When they came to Yuanchun, they saluted together in a proper manner.
Yuan Chun pulled them up one by one, took a closer look, and asked what books they were reading now, and San Chun answered them one by one.
Yuan Chun said again, "Are the cousins waiting outside too? Hurry up and come in."
Daiyu and Baochai also led the order to enter the door... Just like in the previous life, Baodai and Baodai are still the most outstanding figures among the sisters, no matter in terms of talent or appearance.But at this time, Daiyu's complexion didn't look sad and lonely at all. Although her figure was slightly lacking, her small face was really ruddy. She winked her eyes playfully.
But Baochai is not as lively and calm as Daiyu. Even though she has put on makeup, the bloodshot eyes and the slight blueness in her eyes are obvious at a glance.
Aunt Xue has no orders on her body, and she is not in the room at this time.Facing the imperial concubine, even Baochai, who is almost impeccable in her handling of things, is a little more dazed and... guilty.
How many people present couldn't see Baochai's abnormality?
Yuan Chun stayed with Zhao Zhizhen for a long time, and his words became more and more straightforward, "My pity, you are also innocently affected."
Why did the imperial concubine lie to her?While Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a little worried: How...how will it end? !It is Baochai's ambition to be elected to the palace and always be with the emperor, but she and her father can see that... now things can't be done!
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew both had their hearts beating wildly: The imperial concubine really knows!
The rest of them also looked over curiously, but Yuan Chun didn't intend to pursue it at this time, and said to Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, "I see that the younger sisters are all doing well, and you must not ignore the important things in life." After a pause, he specifically explained to Mother Jia, "If you don't say it, it's all on me, but it will never let the younger sisters end well. Whoever is wronged can come to the palace, and I will make decisions for her. "
She actually said it directly in front of her sisters!
These words made Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's hearts beat wildly: Noble Concubine... Now that she has got the news, why is she willing to pass by in a daze? !Now in front of the ancestors, he almost lost his face in one go!
Mother Jia looked at her daughter Jia Min hesitantly when she heard the words.Jia Min just heard some rumors, and the noble concubine exposed it on the spot, so she had to wait until there were no other people around, and then explained to her mother.
Mother Jia got her daughter's gesture and nodded.
Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered, but she still shook her head slightly at Baochai.
And Mrs. Xing's face was flushed at this moment, and the blood faded after a while, her face was pale, and even her hands were trembling.But right now, no one cares about her.
After making the younger sisters stand beside him, Yuan Chun said again: "My younger sisters have seen each other, but it's time for the younger brothers and nephews."
The younger brothers and nephews mentioned here are naturally those who are not married.There were a group of female relatives sitting beside Yuan Chun, it was very inconvenient to summon grown men here.
As soon as Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others entered the door, the three of them felt that something was wrong: aside from Sanchun and Baodai who were standing beside the imperial concubine, all the wives in the room had hung on their faces. They were all smiling, and just glanced at this smile, and you could tell that they were "smiling insincerely". Only Jia Min was calm.
So the three of them became more careful—with Jia Zhu around, Baoyu was still very favored, but he didn't have the "devil king" in his previous life, and even looked a little frivolous in the eyes of others.
Seeing this, Yuan Chun was extremely satisfied: in this life, not only Baoyu, but also Lian Huan'er has grown a lot: Baoyu is handsome and elegant, while Huan'er is calm and bookish.Lan'er was still young, so she didn't rush to salute and reply, and didn't need anyone to raise her points at all.
I don't want them to have smooth sailing in all the examination and official circles, but I just hope that they have their own strengths and that they don't lose the name of their ancestors in the future.
The female relatives and the juniors met one by one, and then it was uncle, father, elder brother and brother Rong.
Yuan Chun's summoning this time seemed a bit abnormal to other people. She should have met the gentlemen in the mansion long ago, but she waited until now to deliver the decree—no matter how surprised everyone was, they still didn't say anything.How did they know that Yuan Chun specially left a gap, just to let Zhao Zhizhen "follow the opinions".
But Yuan Chun led a group of relatives to the garden, and at this time the screens and curtains were all ready.She secretly counted the time, no matter how much she said, the Holy Majesty should be able to say the same thing, and if she didn't see her father and brother again... the Holy Majesty should urge herself to go back to the palace in a while!Anyway, she has already passed the school exam for her younger sister and younger brother's knowledge of poetry in her previous life.
When Jia She and Jia Zheng saw her, they were just persuading her to take care of her health so that she could help the Holy One—Jia Zheng couldn't hide his love in his words, but Jia She seemed like a pure outsider.
As for Jia Zhu and Jia Rong, they also asked Zhao Zhizhen to "raise his hand and let them go" and came to meet Yuan Chun on time.
The expressions of these two people were the most calm, and Yuan Chun knew that the monarch and his ministers were having a good time talking.It is not difficult for her to meet her brothers and nephews, so there are so many family members' care and instructions in the words.
I only chatted with my brother for half a quarter of an hour, and during this period, I should not praise my nephew Jia Rong in public...The servant stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice and respect: "My lady, the time has come."
Yuan Chun glanced sideways and hugged Qin.
Baoqin hurriedly announced the time in a low voice, and Yuan Chun heard it: I just went back to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager to have dinner... This really does not delay anything.
As a noble concubine, Yuan Chun could fill Rongning Street with her guard of honor alone, plus the imperial guards accompanying her to protect the Holy Majesty... In short, she spent at least half of her time on the road from going out to returning to the palace.
Yuan Chun couldn't let go, but after thinking about it, he turned around and discussed with the Holy Master: If he can subdue it, so can I... right...
After bidding farewell to his family, Yuan Chun boarded Zhai's chariot and set off for the palace.As soon as the guard of honor left Ningrong Street, Zhao Zhizhen got into the car familiarly.Yuan Chun was not surprised, and moved to the side to make room for him.
After Zhao Zhizhen sat firmly, he naturally let Yuan Chun lean on his shoulder, "Have you finished asking?"
It is said that on the way Yuanchun came to her mother's house, Zhao Zhizhen told her two things: she will be in charge of the general and minor elections in the future!
Yuan Chun was taken aback at the time, and before he could figure out how to respond, Zhao Zhizhen reminded him, "Pay attention to your sisters."
Yuan Chun couldn't help thinking about two things together: Could it be that some relative wanted to send his daughter to Shengshang's side? !Or are you going to use the marriage to give yourself a chance to "make a comeback"?
She went back to her natal home and asked casually, and seeing the reactions of her family members, she knew... So there were both!
After all, there is a favorite concubine in the family, and everyone in the family thinks that after supporting the men, they should pull down the girls—this is human nature, and Yuan Chun can understand it very well, but you have moved your mind and made up your mind, can you Discuss with me before doing it again?
But it seems that the grandmother, mother, aunt, and sister-in-law are not on the same page.After returning, Yuan Chun sent a letter to recruit all the female relatives into the palace one by one, and talked to her well.
After thinking about it, Yuan Chun sniffed and replied, "There are too many people talking and thinking, it's inevitable. But," she grabbed Zhao Zhizhen's arm and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"
Zhao Zhizhen smiled and said, "Shouldn't I care about your family?"
It's a mixed blessing!No matter what you say about Ningrong and Rongfu, they have not lost much. When grandfather and uncle were still around, they might not be worthy of His Majesty's constant attention.It wasn't Yuan Chun boasting that the Holy One was willing to care about the Ning and Rong prefectures, was it because of himself?However, Yuanchun is well aware of his own family affairs. The two most outstanding ones have already been reused, and the rest are really... the small ones. Caijun... Actually, it's a good thing that they didn't do something that would embarrass everyone.
Zhao Zhizhen seemed to have guessed Yuan Chun's thoughts, "Your brother is going south, and there is still your nephew in the capital. There is no need to worry too much about foreign affairs. As for the doorway in the inner house... why don't you help one?"
Yuan Chun hesitated a little: Speaking of wit and means, apart from the grandmother, Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing are the female family members of Ningrong and Rongfu...but it is for Brother Rong's sake that this niece and daughter-in-law can no longer be reused!
It is said that Jia Zhen was put under house arrest by her son in a Taoist temple in the suburbs, and Youshi simply ate vegetarian food and recited Buddhism in her own yard, and her own brother came to recognize her relatives. But the relationship with her husband, Jia Rong, is no longer warm.
As for Wang Xifeng...but she was a little more cruel, Yuan Chun was worried that she would become mad after she became successful.
Yuan Chun frowned slightly, Zhao Zhizhen patted the back of her hand, and persuaded her softly, "Six or seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, whether you are in the palace or after entering the palace, you are very good at managing the industry and manpower, and anyone can pick and choose." It's not the slightest bit... How difficult is it for you to teach~teach~ a helper at home? Or is it that there are characters in your family that you can't subdue? "
Yuan Chun was startled again: That's right!I myself have lived two lifetimes... not like a human being at all!Why do you think that others won't change when they got the opportunity that they didn't have in the previous life?Sister Feng is shrewd, resourceful, and motivated, isn't she a "good seedling"?
Although this sister-in-law is greedy for money and cruel, if she is a noble concubine with her own intentions, can it be that these two "problems" can't be controlled?
After this enlightenment, Yuan Chun couldn't help laughing at herself: She was able to find out, but she hadn't let go yet. As for being really comfortable...let's talk about it in the next life.
In addition, Yuan Chun should also thank Zhao Zhizhen who woke her up. She squeezed Zhao Zhizhen's arm, "Oh, I don't know how good I am unless you tell me." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing stand up.
Seeing Yuan Chun's smile, Zhao Zhizhen's heart almost melted, and he also smiled, "Of course you're fine."
The two returned to Jingren Palace together. After Yuanchun changed his clothes, he heard the report from the servant who stayed behind, "The emperor and queen mother haven't returned yet, but I heard that they are on the way. The eldest princess is here, and now she is talking with the eldest prince." .”
Zhao Zhizhen happened to change his clothes at this time, came in from the outside, heard the words and said, "She is quite good at picking her time."
Although the eldest princess Zhao Xuan's straightforward temper often makes everyone speechless or dumbfounded, Yuanchun still feels that getting along with her is the least worrying...
It didn't take more than a quarter of an hour for the word to spread before the eldest prince Zhao Han and the eldest princess Zhao Xuan came together.
The two brothers and sisters saluted first, then stood up, and then their father smiled and said, "Sit down."
After all, Yuan Chun was careful, and came here. Seeing that the eldest princess was clasping her hands in front of her all the way, as if she was faintly protecting her stomach, she just asked, and heard the eldest princess's tone sour, "Father, the emperor is really biased." I hurt my sister."
It is said that Jian'er is just standing beside her mother at this time, while Bao'er is sitting on her father's lap, grabbing his father's big hand with a pair of small hands, blinking her big eyes while spitting bubbles...
Zhao Zhizhen pinched Bao'er's armpit with both hands, and put her daughter on his shoulders with a little force, and pointed to the "thigh throne" that had been vacated, "You two, how about each of you?"
Zhao Han was speechless: if the father is in a good mood, it is often difficult to answer!
Zhao Xuan narrowed her eyes, "Well, my daughter's seat is quite comfortable."
Yuan Chun interjected, "Look at this happy face... Let's talk about something good."
Zhao Xuan proudly said: "I have it."
Zhao Zhizhen nodded, "That's right, take good care of yourself and don't run amok."
When Zhao Han heard it, he knew the details inside, and he didn't plan to speak anymore.
Zhao Xuan was a little aggrieved, "You still want to put people around you, why is it wrong for me to clean them up?"
Zhao Zhizhen continued to nod his head, "It's well cleaned up. But you have to remember to use the right method."
There is also a concubine in the Shi family living with the empress dowager, who knows the temper of the sage far better than those "others", so they didn't think about it at all: Look, the empress is just a decoration now, and since the concubine married the sage, From the palace to the palace, can you see that the sage intends to choose someone for himself?
If you flatter the horse crookedly, you have to get a hoof, you touched the wrong dragon's butt... maybe you will lose your head!
This is exactly the case, the way to send a woman into the palace as an empress is impossible at all, and the empress dowager is really not allowed to enter, and the noble concubine is useless... Finally, everyone paid attention to their heads and seemed to be incapable. Such a good princess.
However, the eldest princess is also a model of "Scholars treat each other with admiration for three days". Although she is inevitable for small mistakes, she often makes people feel uncomfortable, but she is rarely confused about major matters.
At this moment, the eldest princess said: "Oh, father, you also know my temper. When I meet someone who can't be offended, I just run away." After a pause, she looked at Yuan Chun again, "Doesn't the imperial concubine have some kind of cousin? I also want to enter the palace, merchant girl... oh, she is really rich... But I heard that the father personally made a move."
Zhao Han lowered his head and sipped his tea vigorously.
Yuan Chun opened his eyes wide, turned his head and asked Zhao Zhizhen, "What's going on?"
Zhao Zhizhen said frankly: "I don't need people to order me."
Yuan Chun knew in his heart: His Majesty would not have spoken so politely at that time.
"I really know about this." Zhao Xuan said again at this time, "My mother-in-law said it. It turns out that the wife of the governor of the pass city... is your aunt, the concubine, right? In order to send someone into the palace, I asked Shi The concubine's mother, but the old lady refused decisively. Your aunt's natal brother... seems to have been transferred by the emperor."
Yuan Chun's heart is clear: it's because she didn't intercede with her uncle Wang Ziteng in Shengshang, and her proud aunt who came from an extraordinary background has blamed her.But she is too favored, so if you want to deal with her, you just have to find a way to share the favor.
Thinking about it carefully, Baochai is dignified and gentle...it seems to be quite similar to her usual appearance outside.But thinking back to Baochai's expression today, she could guess that Xue Yuan and Baochai's father and daughter probably didn't quite agree.
Anyway, my aunt had to be honest for a while, and Yuan Chun didn't bother to talk to her anymore—her shrewd uncle would never remain indifferent.
If my uncle is really confused, it would be ugly to lose his job, but like him, he already has a "criminal record", and it is not difficult for Yuanchun to just leave him alone for a lifetime.
When Zhao Han and Zhao Xuan left, Yuan Chun couldn't hide his smile, and pulled Zhao Zhizhen's arm and said, "The eldest princess is getting more and more fierce, and the concubine can hardly bear it."
The daughter poured out all the inconvenient words for him, and Zhao Zhizhen still had the heart to reward his daughter, but right now, he planned to make good use of Yuan Chun's gratitude first, "I still have to ask you to thank her."
In fact, the facts are just as Yuan Chun expected.
Xue Yuan originally wanted to send his daughter into the palace to fight for wealth and honor, but after a few years, everyone can understand the Holy Majesty's feelings for the noble concubine.Besides, it was hard to get along with the imperial concubine, so why bother to pay for her daughter?
If the noble concubine had no favour, it would make sense for the daughter to enter the palace to help win over the majesty, but now the concubine is so overwhelming that the queen has to be cautious... Xue Yuan does not believe that the concubine would be willing to push the majesty into the arms of other women anyway!
Ask the noble concubine to be kind enough to choose a talented person from the clan or aristocratic family for Baochai, Xue Yuan thinks this is the best choice.
Who knew that Wang Ziteng's wife would be so angry and act so fast... She didn't discuss it with Xue's family, but wanted to find a way to talk to the elders in the palace so that Baochai could enter the palace directly for election.
Hearing this news, Xue Yuan didn't sleep well for three days, and soon fell ill: Fortunately, it didn't work!How else would it end...
Baochai also knows the importance, so this time when meeting the noble concubine, she is also very careful to accompany her.
After returning home now, she endured the tightness in her chest and reported to her father what the imperial concubine said and did today...Both the father and daughter felt that the imperial concubine had no intention of pursuing it: but an apology is indispensable!
After much deliberation, Xue Yuan decided to beg Jia Min to intervene for them.As for Mrs. Wang, she has been sullen for a while, not only Xue's father and daughter, but even Aunt Xue is a little ashamed to see her own sisters again.
And three days later, Jia Min went to the palace to meet Yuan Chun.
Jia Min didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but she kept her promise and explained a few words for Xue's family.
Yuan Chun nodded, "Don't worry, aunt. I understand." She didn't have time to vent her anger, and then she had to meet the girls in the general election in batches, so that she could marry them.
Jia Min knew that there was no need for her niece to lie, she came to the palace this time because of the marriages of the girls in the Rong Mansion: she went back to inquire about the in-law's house chosen by her elder brother and sister-in-law for the Spring Festival, and it was really inappropriate.To put it bluntly, I just didn't consider what kind of marriage is right, it's just that this person is the most willing to pay the bride price!
No wonder Mrs. Xing looked so ugly when Yuan Chun said that she could ask her for her sister's marriage.
No matter how nameless Yuanchun was in his previous life, he was able to bluff many people, and he died only after benefiting from the glory and wealth.Compared to her, the younger sisters were much miserable.
When Tanchunyuan married, the family was desperate and had nothing to do, that's all; but Yingchun had her biological father sold out!Although the family was in a difficult situation at that time, it was not a war or famine. If they did not sell their children, the whole family would starve to death.
Mrs. Xing has always been greedy for money and self-protection, but she dared not say a word even though she knew the truth...
Because of this, Yuan Chun has never been able to get close to his uncle, uncle, and mother: if he doesn't care about his own children, let alone her niece who is separated by another layer?
Yuan Chun really frowned slightly, "I will remember this man. If it is really unbearable, I will let it go as it came." She also forgot the name of Yingchun's husband in her previous life, and only remembered that he was just a real man. The ungrateful silver~stick~scumbag.If her uncle still likes this person in this life, she has no choice but to do it herself.
Jia Min hurriedly persuaded: "I also want to let the empress know. If that person is really unbearable, I am afraid that my brother will be deceived by others. This kind of marriage, my mother will definitely not allow it."
Not to mention Jia's mother, Sister Feng saw that something was wrong with her mother-in-law, so she sent someone to inquire secretly, and when she came back, she ordered someone to write to her husband Jia Lian to complain.
But Sister Feng knew that Uncle Jia Zhu could be used by the Holy One. Apart from following the right people early, he had excellent knowledge and reputation.Her natal family gradually began to decline, and her aunt made a foolish move again. If Sister Feng wants to order his wife's Fengguanxiapei, she must rely on her husband... She doesn't want her parents-in-law to spoil her husband's statement for nothing!
Sister Feng's complaint was excellent... After returning to Beijing to report on her duties, Jia Lian, who had not moved at all in her official position, returned to the pass. Hearing that the concubine's mother, Mrs. Xing, had a fit when she went home to visit her relatives, she immediately asked for leave and returned to the capital: There is not much brother-sister friendship, but Jia Lian is not a heartless person after all.
At this time, Jia Zhu had already brought his wife and children south, Jia Lian went to Jia Rong to discuss for a while, and then brought some people... Sun Shaozu was wrapped in a sack that night.Before dawn the next day, this man was found by the watchman in the ditch outside the ~Qing~ Building.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a rivalry among "benefactors", not to mention that Sun Shaozu has never stepped into the building, but has been entangled with the top card in the building for a long time outside.
Officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, regardless of civil servants or military officials.When this man was still lying on the bed crying, he was imprisoned by the censor, and he was dismissed before the end of the month.The wounds on his body hadn't healed yet, so he had to pack up and return home in a dingy state.
However, Jia Zhu, who had arrived in Jinling, encountered the expected obstacles: Several large grain merchants united together and refused to sell grain at the market price on the grounds that grain could not be transported due to the blockage of the war zone.
Jia Zhu was thorough: How could the Wen family have what it is today without the acquiescence of the Supreme Emperor?Without enough amazing and impeccable evidence, how can we get the Wen family?
He already had an idea in his heart, and he only hoped that His Majesty... would stick to it to the end.
He waited for a while, and then said, "Aiqing, won't you invite me in?"
Jia Zhu knew that Shengshang Weifu's visit did not want to make a scene known to everyone, otherwise he would have entered the gate with his sister.
And when everyone is here, he will no longer hypocritically advise the Holy Master that "the son of a daughter will not sit in court": I have long known that my younger sister and the Holy Master get along very well, and this time I can go back to my mother's house with my younger sister... I am satisfied with my "little son" "Why don't you just accept it?
He honestly led the Holy One into the study room, and after he was seated, the servants on duty in the room didn't even dare to vent their breath, holding the tea tray in both hands, obviously walking forward slowly, but the gaiwan in the tea tray was shaking slightly all the way.
Jia Zhu frowned slightly, and he simply took the tea tray in his hand and signaled the servant to back down.
The boy was grateful in his heart, stepped out of the house quickly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: The majesty's power is really powerful!Although he is always smiling...but just one look can kill him.
To say that the Rongguo Mansion is prominent is compared to ordinary people.
Jia Zhu also knew his own family affairs: since the two Dukes of Ning and Rong passed away one after another, let alone the first-class family, even the second-class family... can't be ranked high.When the father and mother first heard the will of the younger sister's concubine, they were a little overwhelmed with joy, and it took a long time for them to remember the reward.If the master and wife of the family are like this, don't be too harsh on the servants.
By the way, Zhao Zhizhen's visit here was really a matter of official business, and after chatting for a while, he simply ordered a few more words: Be careful when investigating the family background and power of Wen's family.
The person who revealed the details of the Wen family was Jia Zhu's uncle, Lin Hai: he is from Yangzhou, and he has been in charge of the local salt administration for more than ten years. He is not clear about the intricate relationships in the southern provinces... Lin Hai can be described as a know-it-all in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhao Zhizhen also became more frightened the more he listened.
A general who has been stationed in the land of fish and rice for more than ten years and can intervene in local political affairs, if he catches up with a "good time", is no worse than King Pingnan who established his own country in the southwest and plans to seize Jiangnan!
Those courtiers who are double-faced and speculative are really unreliable.When they got to the south, if they saw that the situation was not good, they could fall to the Wen family at any time.
But he really sent his confidant and beloved minister there, such as Jia Zhu, who he trusted and had high hopes for, and who also had connections and reputation in the south.
Helplessly, the Wen family is a military officer, so they don’t pay much attention when they are in a hurry, so they raised their hand and slashed down with a knife, cutting first and playing later...Zhao Zhizhen firmly believed that the Wen family could do it—even if they got the evidence of the Wen family’s disobedience, they could deal with it in a dignified manner He, his confidant who worked faithfully for him was also ruined: if there is something good or bad, let alone his heart will forgive him, he will have no face to see Yuan Chun again.
Jia Zhu, however, is full of ambition: her younger sister dotes on the harem, and her natal relatives just have more chances to get into the eyes and ears of the Holy One than others...you have to be able to grasp the opportunities!
Of course he knew that this trip to the south might not be smooth, and taking away people's jobs and cutting off their wealth is the enemy of life and death.Therefore, the entourage who accompanied him to the post, except for the two masters who handled general affairs for him all the year round, the rest of the entourage were descendants of the former grandfather Jia Daishan's personal soldiers.On the day when their home was surrounded by the chaotic~army~, these people were loyal and unhurried, they also showed extraordinary skills.
Zhao Zhizhen said again at this time: "Be careful, self-protection is the most important thing! Jinling Wang's Zhen family is your in-laws, I will let Wang Ziteng and Zhen Yingjia listen to you, and send some guards, at least I can protect you well."
Jia Zhu quickly got up to thank her.
At the same time, he was also pondering: Sure enough, Wang Ziteng and Zhen Yingjia still listened to his words.The two masters who were idle or neglected for a year because they followed the wrong person did not swallow their anger in vain.
With the name of "waiting for crimes", but not knowing that there is no chance to "make meritorious service"... These two have a very difficult life.
Watching people order dishes is also the norm in official circles. These two masters also swayed between the eldest prince and the prince. If Yuan Chun hadn't made steady steps from side concubine to noble concubine, these two might not have been able to do so. The idea of "putting it to death and rebirth" was born: Have you ever heard of the Holy Majesty who does not hold grudges? !
The monarchs and ministers chatted for a while about the arrangements after going south, especially who will deliver the news, and who to ask for help in case something goes wrong... In short, after talking for a full quarter of an hour, Zhao Zhizhen ate half a cup of tea, and sent an order Summon Jia Rong.
But he said that his aunt, who was partial to him, went back to her natal family, so Jia Rong naturally arrived at Rongfu early and waited patiently.Unexpectedly, before his aunt opened his mouth, he asked his servant to find him, and met...uncle first.
Of course, this "uncle" Jia Rong only dared to call out in her heart.
In other words, with the help of his cousin Jia Zhu, Jia Rong's method of cleaning up the Ningfu and even the entire clan was fast, ruthless, and accurate: first, he put his father under house arrest, and even cut off all the seats of the troublemaker clan elders in one go. Let the children and grandchildren of these elders bring their elders home to take care of them.
Jia Rong made his fortune in the army, and his behavior is slightly different from Jia Zhu: he is a soldier first and then a courtesy.Hearing the complaints from the old man who was put into custody, he opened the ancestral hall, called all the lords, and the children and grandchildren who were in charge of these old men's families together, and explained the pros and cons to the people of the clan.
The clansmen he cut down are all the deposed princes.
Jia Rong's first job was as a soldier of the Holy Majesty, now that the Ning and Rong houses are combined, he only respects Jia Zhu, and even Jia Lian may not really care.Precisely because of his limited scruples in the clan, his opening remarks made Jia She and Jia Zheng's complexion suddenly changed: it was hard for the family to have a concubine, and she was very respectable in front of the Holy Majesty. Why bother to let the thorn of "abandoned prince" pop up in his heart from time to time when he wants to give more grace to his family?
Even if your future is doomed, don't you care about your children and grandchildren?No one dared to underestimate Jia Rong, who even looked down on her own father when she said this.
Jia Amnesty was stupefied—the shady secrets in his hands couldn't be brought out.
Jia Zheng felt something was wrong, but he only sighed, and he didn't say anything after all—he had always disliked Jia Zhen's words and deeds, but he couldn't say anything to this domineering and ruthless cousin, and he couldn't fight, so he just kept... Out of sight is out of sight.As for Jia Rong, his method is so good, and he...does things rationally!
In desperation, Jia Zheng looked at his son Jia Zhu, who was sitting comfortably next to him.The eldest son's approval was clear at a glance!Jia Zheng's talents are mediocre, but he has self-knowledge, knowing that his son is highly valued by the Holy One... He deeply believes in the vision of the Holy One, so naturally he also believes in his son's means.
That's all...not clogged or flowed, not only not good, but this is what I have done in my life, and I should leave it to my children and grandchildren in the future.
Jia Zhu didn't know that his father had "recognized a great deal" after this incident. He had prepared a lot of words to appease and persuade his father, but unexpectedly...it was useless.But it's a good thing if it doesn't work, no matter how much you try to persuade them, it's a disagreement after all, and it's inevitable that father and son will "blush", isn't it?
But he said that the sweet dates should not be forgotten even if the stick is smashed down.Afterwards, Jia Rong selected people with real talents and knowledge from among the young people, and after a test, she supported them with all her heart.
Sure enough, under the combination of kindness and power, the clansmen gradually became envious of Jia Rong, the young patriarch. These clansmen had longings, regardless of whether they were from literature to martial arts, or just busy with clan affairs. How they will achieve in the future is another story. They are all in a thriving, positive look.
In less than a year, the affairs of the clan are in order, and the atmosphere of the clan has also changed. Yuan Chun was overjoyed when word of this reached Yuan Chun's ears, and she never forgot to talk about it with Zhao Zhizhen.
Yuan Chun was very excited, and pulled Zhao Zhizhen to "plausibly speak", "My natal family... To be honest, I can't choose a few who really stand out. Brother Rong is young, loyal, and has means. If you don't praise him, you can only praise my brother repeatedly. But it’s a bit embarrassing to always praise my brother, isn’t it.”
Recalling the scene at that time, Zhao Zhizhen still couldn't help laughing, turned his head and said to Jia Rong, "Your aunt is full of praise for you."
Jia Rong has a noble concubine to "protect her body", and she has met the emperor more times, and she is no longer cautious about the Holy Majesty, "If you go back to the Holy Majesty, you will not have the courage of the Holy Majesty, the imperial concubine, and the uncle, and the humble minister would not dare to do this... It will be settled once and for all."
Zhao Zhizhen laughed loudly, "Is this what you mean by once and for all?"
Jia Rong laughed dryly, "Learn and apply."
Let Jia Rong make jokes, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.With Jia Zhu added, the three of them talked like family members sitting together and chatting.
As for Yuan Chun, who was in the high seat of the middle hall of the back house of Rongguo Mansion, the family members who surrounded her were also smiling, and their hearts were extremely at ease: there was no such luxurious garden, and even the furnishings in the house were the same as before she got married.
She is living a smooth life, and there is really no need to be tense in front of her family.
She had asked about her family's recent situation with a smile, and Madam Xing suddenly asked, "I heard that nobleman Wu's family got news, so they built a yard... We also want to do our best for the noble concubine."
Yuan Chun nodded, "Auntie has a heart."
Even if Sister Feng didn't look up, she knew that the imperial concubine's gaze had already fallen on their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.She immediately smiled and said: "No matter how hard you are to be filial, you will never dare to be self-reliant."
Everyone here knows that Jia She was close to the deposed prince at one time, and both Jia Lian and Wang Ziteng had leaned towards His Royal Highness; not only Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, but also the two aunts in Jia Lian's house who had amazing financial resources and were full of confidence also wanted to lean on the big tree of the noble concubine. Tree... In short, the top and bottom of the Rong Mansion desperately want and must please the imperial concubine.
This makes sense!Sister Feng did not have the opportunity to control the wealth and power of the Rong Mansion like in her previous life, so naturally she did not have the opportunity to act boldly, at best she was a little aggressive.It is also a good thing to have her come to see Mrs. Xing, Yuan Chun also smiled and said, "That's right. Your Majesty doesn't like extravagance, and our family eats and drinks constantly, so we don't need to be like those people who are frivolous."
According to Yuanchun's current status, let alone in front of her natal family, even in front of the Holy Majesty, she mostly thinks of what to say.
Everyone responded one after another, and said in unison in their hearts: The noble concubine is much more domineering than before she got married!
Having said that, it's not without reason that she was so straightforward with her aunt and cousin.
Jia Lian was able to become an official thanks to Zhao Zhizhen. Although Yuan Chun also knew that this soft-eared cousin had hesitated and struggled for a while, in the end he still insisted on not offending, and even leaned a little bit towards His Highness.Even though Zhao Zhizhen was still the prince and Yuan Chun was still the side concubine, seeing Jia Lian like this, he didn't bother to bother anymore.
Jia Zhu and Jia Rong have been favored by the Holy Spirit one after another, but Jia Lian has stayed put... Everyone knows the reason, but now no one dares to come forward to intercede for Jia Lian, at least Jia Lian himself does not have the courage.
Mrs. Wang has another worry: her natal sister-in-law, the wife of Wang Ziteng, has been doing a lot of tricks recently, and Mrs. Wang is very hesitant to tell her daughter as soon as possible.Although the daughter knew that a big anger would be inevitable, and her brother might be involved, and everyone would be ashamed.
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and then Yuan Chun turned to his grandmother and asked with a smile, "Where are the sisters? Why don't you see me?"
Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun got the will and filed in one after another. When they came to Yuanchun, they saluted together in a proper manner.
Yuan Chun pulled them up one by one, took a closer look, and asked what books they were reading now, and San Chun answered them one by one.
Yuan Chun said again, "Are the cousins waiting outside too? Hurry up and come in."
Daiyu and Baochai also led the order to enter the door... Just like in the previous life, Baodai and Baodai are still the most outstanding figures among the sisters, no matter in terms of talent or appearance.But at this time, Daiyu's complexion didn't look sad and lonely at all. Although her figure was slightly lacking, her small face was really ruddy. She winked her eyes playfully.
But Baochai is not as lively and calm as Daiyu. Even though she has put on makeup, the bloodshot eyes and the slight blueness in her eyes are obvious at a glance.
Aunt Xue has no orders on her body, and she is not in the room at this time.Facing the imperial concubine, even Baochai, who is almost impeccable in her handling of things, is a little more dazed and... guilty.
How many people present couldn't see Baochai's abnormality?
Yuan Chun stayed with Zhao Zhizhen for a long time, and his words became more and more straightforward, "My pity, you are also innocently affected."
Why did the imperial concubine lie to her?While Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a little worried: How...how will it end? !It is Baochai's ambition to be elected to the palace and always be with the emperor, but she and her father can see that... now things can't be done!
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew both had their hearts beating wildly: The imperial concubine really knows!
The rest of them also looked over curiously, but Yuan Chun didn't intend to pursue it at this time, and said to Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, "I see that the younger sisters are all doing well, and you must not ignore the important things in life." After a pause, he specifically explained to Mother Jia, "If you don't say it, it's all on me, but it will never let the younger sisters end well. Whoever is wronged can come to the palace, and I will make decisions for her. "
She actually said it directly in front of her sisters!
These words made Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's hearts beat wildly: Noble Concubine... Now that she has got the news, why is she willing to pass by in a daze? !Now in front of the ancestors, he almost lost his face in one go!
Mother Jia looked at her daughter Jia Min hesitantly when she heard the words.Jia Min just heard some rumors, and the noble concubine exposed it on the spot, so she had to wait until there were no other people around, and then explained to her mother.
Mother Jia got her daughter's gesture and nodded.
Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered, but she still shook her head slightly at Baochai.
And Mrs. Xing's face was flushed at this moment, and the blood faded after a while, her face was pale, and even her hands were trembling.But right now, no one cares about her.
After making the younger sisters stand beside him, Yuan Chun said again: "My younger sisters have seen each other, but it's time for the younger brothers and nephews."
The younger brothers and nephews mentioned here are naturally those who are not married.There were a group of female relatives sitting beside Yuan Chun, it was very inconvenient to summon grown men here.
As soon as Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others entered the door, the three of them felt that something was wrong: aside from Sanchun and Baodai who were standing beside the imperial concubine, all the wives in the room had hung on their faces. They were all smiling, and just glanced at this smile, and you could tell that they were "smiling insincerely". Only Jia Min was calm.
So the three of them became more careful—with Jia Zhu around, Baoyu was still very favored, but he didn't have the "devil king" in his previous life, and even looked a little frivolous in the eyes of others.
Seeing this, Yuan Chun was extremely satisfied: in this life, not only Baoyu, but also Lian Huan'er has grown a lot: Baoyu is handsome and elegant, while Huan'er is calm and bookish.Lan'er was still young, so she didn't rush to salute and reply, and didn't need anyone to raise her points at all.
I don't want them to have smooth sailing in all the examination and official circles, but I just hope that they have their own strengths and that they don't lose the name of their ancestors in the future.
The female relatives and the juniors met one by one, and then it was uncle, father, elder brother and brother Rong.
Yuan Chun's summoning this time seemed a bit abnormal to other people. She should have met the gentlemen in the mansion long ago, but she waited until now to deliver the decree—no matter how surprised everyone was, they still didn't say anything.How did they know that Yuan Chun specially left a gap, just to let Zhao Zhizhen "follow the opinions".
But Yuan Chun led a group of relatives to the garden, and at this time the screens and curtains were all ready.She secretly counted the time, no matter how much she said, the Holy Majesty should be able to say the same thing, and if she didn't see her father and brother again... the Holy Majesty should urge herself to go back to the palace in a while!Anyway, she has already passed the school exam for her younger sister and younger brother's knowledge of poetry in her previous life.
When Jia She and Jia Zheng saw her, they were just persuading her to take care of her health so that she could help the Holy One—Jia Zheng couldn't hide his love in his words, but Jia She seemed like a pure outsider.
As for Jia Zhu and Jia Rong, they also asked Zhao Zhizhen to "raise his hand and let them go" and came to meet Yuan Chun on time.
The expressions of these two people were the most calm, and Yuan Chun knew that the monarch and his ministers were having a good time talking.It is not difficult for her to meet her brothers and nephews, so there are so many family members' care and instructions in the words.
I only chatted with my brother for half a quarter of an hour, and during this period, I should not praise my nephew Jia Rong in public...The servant stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice and respect: "My lady, the time has come."
Yuan Chun glanced sideways and hugged Qin.
Baoqin hurriedly announced the time in a low voice, and Yuan Chun heard it: I just went back to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager to have dinner... This really does not delay anything.
As a noble concubine, Yuan Chun could fill Rongning Street with her guard of honor alone, plus the imperial guards accompanying her to protect the Holy Majesty... In short, she spent at least half of her time on the road from going out to returning to the palace.
Yuan Chun couldn't let go, but after thinking about it, he turned around and discussed with the Holy Master: If he can subdue it, so can I... right...
After bidding farewell to his family, Yuan Chun boarded Zhai's chariot and set off for the palace.As soon as the guard of honor left Ningrong Street, Zhao Zhizhen got into the car familiarly.Yuan Chun was not surprised, and moved to the side to make room for him.
After Zhao Zhizhen sat firmly, he naturally let Yuan Chun lean on his shoulder, "Have you finished asking?"
It is said that on the way Yuanchun came to her mother's house, Zhao Zhizhen told her two things: she will be in charge of the general and minor elections in the future!
Yuan Chun was taken aback at the time, and before he could figure out how to respond, Zhao Zhizhen reminded him, "Pay attention to your sisters."
Yuan Chun couldn't help thinking about two things together: Could it be that some relative wanted to send his daughter to Shengshang's side? !Or are you going to use the marriage to give yourself a chance to "make a comeback"?
She went back to her natal home and asked casually, and seeing the reactions of her family members, she knew... So there were both!
After all, there is a favorite concubine in the family, and everyone in the family thinks that after supporting the men, they should pull down the girls—this is human nature, and Yuan Chun can understand it very well, but you have moved your mind and made up your mind, can you Discuss with me before doing it again?
But it seems that the grandmother, mother, aunt, and sister-in-law are not on the same page.After returning, Yuan Chun sent a letter to recruit all the female relatives into the palace one by one, and talked to her well.
After thinking about it, Yuan Chun sniffed and replied, "There are too many people talking and thinking, it's inevitable. But," she grabbed Zhao Zhizhen's arm and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"
Zhao Zhizhen smiled and said, "Shouldn't I care about your family?"
It's a mixed blessing!No matter what you say about Ningrong and Rongfu, they have not lost much. When grandfather and uncle were still around, they might not be worthy of His Majesty's constant attention.It wasn't Yuan Chun boasting that the Holy One was willing to care about the Ning and Rong prefectures, was it because of himself?However, Yuanchun is well aware of his own family affairs. The two most outstanding ones have already been reused, and the rest are really... the small ones. Caijun... Actually, it's a good thing that they didn't do something that would embarrass everyone.
Zhao Zhizhen seemed to have guessed Yuan Chun's thoughts, "Your brother is going south, and there is still your nephew in the capital. There is no need to worry too much about foreign affairs. As for the doorway in the inner house... why don't you help one?"
Yuan Chun hesitated a little: Speaking of wit and means, apart from the grandmother, Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing are the female family members of Ningrong and Rongfu...but it is for Brother Rong's sake that this niece and daughter-in-law can no longer be reused!
It is said that Jia Zhen was put under house arrest by her son in a Taoist temple in the suburbs, and Youshi simply ate vegetarian food and recited Buddhism in her own yard, and her own brother came to recognize her relatives. But the relationship with her husband, Jia Rong, is no longer warm.
As for Wang Xifeng...but she was a little more cruel, Yuan Chun was worried that she would become mad after she became successful.
Yuan Chun frowned slightly, Zhao Zhizhen patted the back of her hand, and persuaded her softly, "Six or seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, whether you are in the palace or after entering the palace, you are very good at managing the industry and manpower, and anyone can pick and choose." It's not the slightest bit... How difficult is it for you to teach~teach~ a helper at home? Or is it that there are characters in your family that you can't subdue? "
Yuan Chun was startled again: That's right!I myself have lived two lifetimes... not like a human being at all!Why do you think that others won't change when they got the opportunity that they didn't have in the previous life?Sister Feng is shrewd, resourceful, and motivated, isn't she a "good seedling"?
Although this sister-in-law is greedy for money and cruel, if she is a noble concubine with her own intentions, can it be that these two "problems" can't be controlled?
After this enlightenment, Yuan Chun couldn't help laughing at herself: She was able to find out, but she hadn't let go yet. As for being really comfortable...let's talk about it in the next life.
In addition, Yuan Chun should also thank Zhao Zhizhen who woke her up. She squeezed Zhao Zhizhen's arm, "Oh, I don't know how good I am unless you tell me." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing stand up.
Seeing Yuan Chun's smile, Zhao Zhizhen's heart almost melted, and he also smiled, "Of course you're fine."
The two returned to Jingren Palace together. After Yuanchun changed his clothes, he heard the report from the servant who stayed behind, "The emperor and queen mother haven't returned yet, but I heard that they are on the way. The eldest princess is here, and now she is talking with the eldest prince." .”
Zhao Zhizhen happened to change his clothes at this time, came in from the outside, heard the words and said, "She is quite good at picking her time."
Although the eldest princess Zhao Xuan's straightforward temper often makes everyone speechless or dumbfounded, Yuanchun still feels that getting along with her is the least worrying...
It didn't take more than a quarter of an hour for the word to spread before the eldest prince Zhao Han and the eldest princess Zhao Xuan came together.
The two brothers and sisters saluted first, then stood up, and then their father smiled and said, "Sit down."
After all, Yuan Chun was careful, and came here. Seeing that the eldest princess was clasping her hands in front of her all the way, as if she was faintly protecting her stomach, she just asked, and heard the eldest princess's tone sour, "Father, the emperor is really biased." I hurt my sister."
It is said that Jian'er is just standing beside her mother at this time, while Bao'er is sitting on her father's lap, grabbing his father's big hand with a pair of small hands, blinking her big eyes while spitting bubbles...
Zhao Zhizhen pinched Bao'er's armpit with both hands, and put her daughter on his shoulders with a little force, and pointed to the "thigh throne" that had been vacated, "You two, how about each of you?"
Zhao Han was speechless: if the father is in a good mood, it is often difficult to answer!
Zhao Xuan narrowed her eyes, "Well, my daughter's seat is quite comfortable."
Yuan Chun interjected, "Look at this happy face... Let's talk about something good."
Zhao Xuan proudly said: "I have it."
Zhao Zhizhen nodded, "That's right, take good care of yourself and don't run amok."
When Zhao Han heard it, he knew the details inside, and he didn't plan to speak anymore.
Zhao Xuan was a little aggrieved, "You still want to put people around you, why is it wrong for me to clean them up?"
Zhao Zhizhen continued to nod his head, "It's well cleaned up. But you have to remember to use the right method."
There is also a concubine in the Shi family living with the empress dowager, who knows the temper of the sage far better than those "others", so they didn't think about it at all: Look, the empress is just a decoration now, and since the concubine married the sage, From the palace to the palace, can you see that the sage intends to choose someone for himself?
If you flatter the horse crookedly, you have to get a hoof, you touched the wrong dragon's butt... maybe you will lose your head!
This is exactly the case, the way to send a woman into the palace as an empress is impossible at all, and the empress dowager is really not allowed to enter, and the noble concubine is useless... Finally, everyone paid attention to their heads and seemed to be incapable. Such a good princess.
However, the eldest princess is also a model of "Scholars treat each other with admiration for three days". Although she is inevitable for small mistakes, she often makes people feel uncomfortable, but she is rarely confused about major matters.
At this moment, the eldest princess said: "Oh, father, you also know my temper. When I meet someone who can't be offended, I just run away." After a pause, she looked at Yuan Chun again, "Doesn't the imperial concubine have some kind of cousin? I also want to enter the palace, merchant girl... oh, she is really rich... But I heard that the father personally made a move."
Zhao Han lowered his head and sipped his tea vigorously.
Yuan Chun opened his eyes wide, turned his head and asked Zhao Zhizhen, "What's going on?"
Zhao Zhizhen said frankly: "I don't need people to order me."
Yuan Chun knew in his heart: His Majesty would not have spoken so politely at that time.
"I really know about this." Zhao Xuan said again at this time, "My mother-in-law said it. It turns out that the wife of the governor of the pass city... is your aunt, the concubine, right? In order to send someone into the palace, I asked Shi The concubine's mother, but the old lady refused decisively. Your aunt's natal brother... seems to have been transferred by the emperor."
Yuan Chun's heart is clear: it's because she didn't intercede with her uncle Wang Ziteng in Shengshang, and her proud aunt who came from an extraordinary background has blamed her.But she is too favored, so if you want to deal with her, you just have to find a way to share the favor.
Thinking about it carefully, Baochai is dignified and gentle...it seems to be quite similar to her usual appearance outside.But thinking back to Baochai's expression today, she could guess that Xue Yuan and Baochai's father and daughter probably didn't quite agree.
Anyway, my aunt had to be honest for a while, and Yuan Chun didn't bother to talk to her anymore—her shrewd uncle would never remain indifferent.
If my uncle is really confused, it would be ugly to lose his job, but like him, he already has a "criminal record", and it is not difficult for Yuanchun to just leave him alone for a lifetime.
When Zhao Han and Zhao Xuan left, Yuan Chun couldn't hide his smile, and pulled Zhao Zhizhen's arm and said, "The eldest princess is getting more and more fierce, and the concubine can hardly bear it."
The daughter poured out all the inconvenient words for him, and Zhao Zhizhen still had the heart to reward his daughter, but right now, he planned to make good use of Yuan Chun's gratitude first, "I still have to ask you to thank her."
In fact, the facts are just as Yuan Chun expected.
Xue Yuan originally wanted to send his daughter into the palace to fight for wealth and honor, but after a few years, everyone can understand the Holy Majesty's feelings for the noble concubine.Besides, it was hard to get along with the imperial concubine, so why bother to pay for her daughter?
If the noble concubine had no favour, it would make sense for the daughter to enter the palace to help win over the majesty, but now the concubine is so overwhelming that the queen has to be cautious... Xue Yuan does not believe that the concubine would be willing to push the majesty into the arms of other women anyway!
Ask the noble concubine to be kind enough to choose a talented person from the clan or aristocratic family for Baochai, Xue Yuan thinks this is the best choice.
Who knew that Wang Ziteng's wife would be so angry and act so fast... She didn't discuss it with Xue's family, but wanted to find a way to talk to the elders in the palace so that Baochai could enter the palace directly for election.
Hearing this news, Xue Yuan didn't sleep well for three days, and soon fell ill: Fortunately, it didn't work!How else would it end...
Baochai also knows the importance, so this time when meeting the noble concubine, she is also very careful to accompany her.
After returning home now, she endured the tightness in her chest and reported to her father what the imperial concubine said and did today...Both the father and daughter felt that the imperial concubine had no intention of pursuing it: but an apology is indispensable!
After much deliberation, Xue Yuan decided to beg Jia Min to intervene for them.As for Mrs. Wang, she has been sullen for a while, not only Xue's father and daughter, but even Aunt Xue is a little ashamed to see her own sisters again.
And three days later, Jia Min went to the palace to meet Yuan Chun.
Jia Min didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but she kept her promise and explained a few words for Xue's family.
Yuan Chun nodded, "Don't worry, aunt. I understand." She didn't have time to vent her anger, and then she had to meet the girls in the general election in batches, so that she could marry them.
Jia Min knew that there was no need for her niece to lie, she came to the palace this time because of the marriages of the girls in the Rong Mansion: she went back to inquire about the in-law's house chosen by her elder brother and sister-in-law for the Spring Festival, and it was really inappropriate.To put it bluntly, I just didn't consider what kind of marriage is right, it's just that this person is the most willing to pay the bride price!
No wonder Mrs. Xing looked so ugly when Yuan Chun said that she could ask her for her sister's marriage.
No matter how nameless Yuanchun was in his previous life, he was able to bluff many people, and he died only after benefiting from the glory and wealth.Compared to her, the younger sisters were much miserable.
When Tanchunyuan married, the family was desperate and had nothing to do, that's all; but Yingchun had her biological father sold out!Although the family was in a difficult situation at that time, it was not a war or famine. If they did not sell their children, the whole family would starve to death.
Mrs. Xing has always been greedy for money and self-protection, but she dared not say a word even though she knew the truth...
Because of this, Yuan Chun has never been able to get close to his uncle, uncle, and mother: if he doesn't care about his own children, let alone her niece who is separated by another layer?
Yuan Chun really frowned slightly, "I will remember this man. If it is really unbearable, I will let it go as it came." She also forgot the name of Yingchun's husband in her previous life, and only remembered that he was just a real man. The ungrateful silver~stick~scumbag.If her uncle still likes this person in this life, she has no choice but to do it herself.
Jia Min hurriedly persuaded: "I also want to let the empress know. If that person is really unbearable, I am afraid that my brother will be deceived by others. This kind of marriage, my mother will definitely not allow it."
Not to mention Jia's mother, Sister Feng saw that something was wrong with her mother-in-law, so she sent someone to inquire secretly, and when she came back, she ordered someone to write to her husband Jia Lian to complain.
But Sister Feng knew that Uncle Jia Zhu could be used by the Holy One. Apart from following the right people early, he had excellent knowledge and reputation.Her natal family gradually began to decline, and her aunt made a foolish move again. If Sister Feng wants to order his wife's Fengguanxiapei, she must rely on her husband... She doesn't want her parents-in-law to spoil her husband's statement for nothing!
Sister Feng's complaint was excellent... After returning to Beijing to report on her duties, Jia Lian, who had not moved at all in her official position, returned to the pass. Hearing that the concubine's mother, Mrs. Xing, had a fit when she went home to visit her relatives, she immediately asked for leave and returned to the capital: There is not much brother-sister friendship, but Jia Lian is not a heartless person after all.
At this time, Jia Zhu had already brought his wife and children south, Jia Lian went to Jia Rong to discuss for a while, and then brought some people... Sun Shaozu was wrapped in a sack that night.Before dawn the next day, this man was found by the watchman in the ditch outside the ~Qing~ Building.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a rivalry among "benefactors", not to mention that Sun Shaozu has never stepped into the building, but has been entangled with the top card in the building for a long time outside.
Officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, regardless of civil servants or military officials.When this man was still lying on the bed crying, he was imprisoned by the censor, and he was dismissed before the end of the month.The wounds on his body hadn't healed yet, so he had to pack up and return home in a dingy state.
However, Jia Zhu, who had arrived in Jinling, encountered the expected obstacles: Several large grain merchants united together and refused to sell grain at the market price on the grounds that grain could not be transported due to the blockage of the war zone.
Jia Zhu was thorough: How could the Wen family have what it is today without the acquiescence of the Supreme Emperor?Without enough amazing and impeccable evidence, how can we get the Wen family?
He already had an idea in his heart, and he only hoped that His Majesty... would stick to it to the end.
