The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

No matter how entangled everyone in Jia's mansion was, the emperor had a very happy year.

In today's court, the emperor's advantage is expanding.

In the eyes of all the ministers, the old Taishanghuang refused to take a back seat, occupying the advantage in etiquette and law. A word of filial piety makes today's hands shy, but in reality, the Taishanghuang has no intention of playing such a thankless thing. Now, these are just the double springs of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor!

I haven't seen the matter of debt collection, and the Supreme Emperor has never shown any objection!

However, such erroneous cognition is also what the emperor is happy to see, just to see who else is not loyal to him.For some of the courtiers who are still loyal to the Supreme Emperor, the emperor's methods are very straightforward, and they seem to have become high and powerful, but in fact, they can't touch much real power.Among them, the most enviable one is Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng is now in control of the nine provinces, and governs the military of the nine provinces. In terms of rank and status, even the Minister of the Ministry of War is not as good.Moreover, although the military system of this dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasty, with all the efforts and calculations, one province can gather nearly [-] soldiers and horses. If all nine provinces are inspected, it will add up to hundreds of thousands of troops.Of course, it doesn't matter how powerful these military households are.However, with such a strong military backing, in the eyes of others, Wang Ziteng is as stable as a rock.

Because of this, Mrs. Wang became more confident in Jia's mansion. There was no other way. Her daughter was a concubine in the palace, her elder brother was a high official in the frontier, and although one of her two sons was sick, Jia Baoyu had always It was regarded as the hope of the Jia family, so Mrs. Wang also became tough on Shang Shi Taijun.

Because Wang Xifeng's due date was December, she regretted not being able to enter the palace to meet Jia Yuanchun.But regret is also made on the surface.Wang Xifeng just wants to go, but she can't go!

However, there was one more person among those who entered the palace, and that was Lian's second grandma. Jia Lian was a minor official of the sixth rank anyway, and she was not donated. The family was on the sidelines to help, so soon the second grandma Lian's order came down, and Wang Xifeng's eyes became hot when she saw it.

This is walking in the capital.Having an order and not having an order are two completely different things.

To put it more recently, this wife who enters the palace every Spring Festival has a royal order.People like Wang Xifeng who don't have an imperial edict can't go in unless they are specially summoned by the empress.

Besides, it was written in the original book that Wang Xifeng died and put Ping'er upright, and then told Second Sister You.Straighten her up or something like that.Thinking about it, there is also a reason, Wang Xifeng has no orders.Among the female family members of Jia's family, there are only four people with imperial orders, Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Youshi.

There is also the case of Jia Yucun, whose first wife died that day.He straightened the concubine's room at home and made it the main room. At that time, he was just an ordinary local official, so it didn't matter.It is estimated that the imperial court is not very strict with the righting of concubines.It's just that when he is transferred to Beijing now, among the female relatives of various families in Beijing, which one is not a famous lady who has a royal wife appointed by the court, and his wife has not been appointed until now, maybe it is because of his concubine background .

Strictly speaking, it is against the law to take a concubine as a wife.It's just that small families should not be too particular, and the court probably will not pursue criminal responsibility if it is pushed among officials.It's just about this kind of female family relationship.People will be excluded and ridiculed.

Think about Jia Yucun in the original book. He has many contacts with the Jia family, but his wife has no contacts with the female family members of the Jia family. It is probably because of this reason.In fact, if you think about it carefully, let’s not talk about other powerful families, just talk about Jia’s family, Jia Zhen and Jia Amnesty are both dead wives, but Mrs. Xing and You’s are both filling the house, and the ones who remarried later are not concubines to help Zheng Zheng .

For example, when Jia Min passed away, Lin Chang had to re-select a woman with at least a similar family background to marry.A concubine is a slave, be it a good concubine or a noble concubine, in terms of status she is a head short in front of the wives in the main room, and the second-rank court dress that Lin Chang brought to his wife is not something that anyone can wear up.

Chinese New Year is a big festival, and Jia's mansion has a large population. Fortunately, the patriarch is not Rongguo's mansion, so the people of Rongguo's mansion just need to handle their own affairs well!

Sacrificial sacrifices, rent collection, banquets, and court rewards, these big houses are all managed by Jia Lian.The second room is naturally Jia's mother, and the people in the first room are not angry, and look at Mrs. Wang's livid face in a funny way, and snicker!

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, all kinds of colors are available, and on the morning of the [-]th, the wives of Jia's mansion have to dress up in luxury, and carry eight big sedan chairs into the palace to congratulate them. When they arrive in the palace, they naturally want to visit the empress!

After the meeting is completed, if there are girls in the family who are concubines in the palace, they can go like their own girls. If there are no girls, they can only stay in the Queen's Palace!

But what's funny is that the people of the Jia family have a different goal.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang advocated going to Jia Yuanchun, while Mrs. Xing and Second Mistress Lian advocated going to the imperial concubine. One step later, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang went to Jia Yuanchun, Mrs. Xing and Second Mistress Lian went to Concubine Huanggui, and as for Mrs. You, after looking around, they finally went with Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang!

To be honest, Lian's Second Mistress and Huang Guitai Concubine, the first sister, are not close, and the age difference between the two is quite large, so there is nothing to say.But compared to Jia Yuanchun, who is proud of the second room, Lian's second grandma chose the imperial concubine decisively, and Mrs. Xing, just because Jia Amnesty ordered her to go with her daughter-in-law before she went out, so as not to cause trouble in the palace up!

Although Mrs. Xing felt a little dissatisfied, she was still obedient, and followed Lian's second grandma to the outside world!

By the time Second Grandma Lian and Mrs. Xing arrived at the Palace of Compassion, Mrs. Mei was already inside!Apparently Mrs. Mei and Concubine Huanggui were quite surprised by the arrival of the Second Grandma Lian and Mrs. Xing. Although the Second Grandma Lian got closer to Mrs. Mei after she got married, don't forget the Jia family. There is another person in the palace, and it is reasonable to say that he wants to pay a visit to establish a relationship, so he should not come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning at this time.

"Excuse me! Mrs. Jia and younger sister, get up quickly, come here, let's see." Although she was surprised, the imperial concubine was also a woman who had been in the palace for so many years, and she didn't show it at all on the surface.

Lian's Second Mistress chuckled and said, "This one has come to bother Your Majesty for a while!"

The imperial concubine smiled and said nothing, just letting people watch tea.

Mrs. Mei said calmly: "I heard that Mrs. Jia has also entered the palace, why didn't I see them!"

Lian's Second Mistress snorted, "The old lady and the second wife have gone to Concubine Xiande's place. They want to talk quietly. My wife and I are going to join in the fun. It's just annoying." If it wasn't for the Jia family's face, Lian's Second Mistress She still wants to stay in the queen's palace, the left and right queens are still her nominal cousins, aren't they?No matter what, she wouldn't give bad face to her married cousin.

The imperial concubine and Mrs. Mei exchanged glances. Although they had heard about the feud between the eldest and second wife of the Jia family, they never expected it to be this serious!

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Lady Jia is an elder after all."

Second Grandma Lian also laughed and said, "My wife can say that I am the most filial."

Well, the imperial concubine understands what Lian's second grandma means, and there is no chance of reconciliation between the eldest room and the second room Jiamu!This also shows that in the palace in the future, the imperial concubine and the empress can deal cruelly with Jia Yuanchun, and there is no need to take their relationship into consideration!

"Concubine Xiande is in the palace, but now she is a big celebrity." The imperial concubine said with a smile.

Second Grandma Lian covered her mouth and smiled, "But the Ministry of Rites is busy recently, isn't it?"

So what about red, it's just the target of other people's hatred!Lian's second grandma asked Jia Lian to inquire about it. The Ministry of Rites has never prepared Jia Yuanchun's gold seal and gold book. That is to say, her virtuous concubine is actually a false name, and Jia Mu and Erfang are so happy. !

Watching Concubine Huanggui and Second Mistress Lian playing language games, Mrs. Xing could only sit aside obediently, drinking tea and eating, turning a deaf ear to what the two said.

In Fengzao Palace, when Jia Yuanchun saw Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang coming, tears welled up in his eyes, and he ignored the others. Seeing this posture, You Shi retreated directly to the side hall!I couldn't help but think of the actions of Mrs. Xing and Second Mistress Lian. If the big house was here, it would be even more embarrassing!

After Jia Yuanchun calmed down, he looked around and asked, "Why don't you see the eldest wife and Lian's daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and said: "The two of them look down on the empress, and went to curry favor with others!"

Jia Yuanchun frowned, and came to a random understanding. Most likely, he went to the imperial concubine's place. Seeing Mrs. Wang's angry look, although she felt good in her heart, she couldn't think so rationally, "What did the madam say, the daughter-in-law of the emperor is The younger sister of the noble concubine, the eldest wife and even the daughter-in-law should go to the imperial concubine's place, the wife can't say this in the future!"

On the contrary, Mrs. Jia was mature and thoughtful, and asked worriedly, "Could it be that someone is embarrassing the empress in the palace?"

Jia Yuanchun shook his head, "Although no one is going to embarrass me, this person always has to think about the future. As far as I know, the imperial concubine and empress are cousins. If I can catch up with this If you get pregnant in the future, you can go for it." Jia Yuanchun's ambition is big enough, and he has only been concubine and become a favorite, and he is thinking about pregnancy!

Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang nodded thoughtfully. It is better to have the queen's protection than Jia Yuanchun facing all the women in the harem alone.
