In the pear fragrance courtyard, a few red plums are inserted in the purple bottle, the clear and cold dark fragrance is refreshing, and there is a peerless elegance.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, sat by the window doing needlework, and after doing needlework for a while, Aunt Xue rubbed her eyes and said, "My son, you can also rest for a while, and hurt your eyes carefully." ”

Xue Baochai put down the work in his hand and said with a smile: "There is nothing to do in winter, and if you don't work, you will be idle in vain, so it is better to do work to relieve boredom." ”

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "A few days ago, I told your aunt that I used their home to set up a day of drama and wine, and invited the old lady to have a lively day. When I met Grandma Rong, I was gone, and it was a trivial matter to play wine. It's just that my son is suffering, and this year's birthday can't be done big. ”

Baochai's birthday was originally the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, but now it is the end of winter, and on Baochai's birthday, Qin Keqing in Ningguo's mansion has not yet been funeral.

As the saying goes, guests follow the host, Ningguo Mansion is still mournful, but Rongguo Mansion is singing and feasting, it is not decent in the end, Baochai's birthday is naturally only shelved.

When Xue Baochai had always been a follower, he heard Aunt Xue's words, and he didn't take these things to heart, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Mom doesn't know me yet, I don't love these bustles in the first place."

What's more, this weather, the weather is cold, and I am taking medicine, which is slightly better, and I am more greedy and quiet. I know that my mother feels sorry for me and is reluctant to let me be wronged, but instead of spending a few hundred taels of silver and making trouble for a day, I would rather not be quiet. ”

When Aunt Xue heard Baochai's words, she became more and more distressed, because she said: "My son, haven't you seen what a pomp and circumstance Brother Cong'er celebrated that day, but when it was your birthday, it was so deserted. ”

Baochai smiled lightly and said, "Brother Cong was praised by the Queen Mother, and it is not an ordinary rule in the house. In this house, there are four seasons and eight festivals, plus everyone's birthday, there are always several times in January, but it is so lively that even the prince of the clan sends gifts to congratulate, and how many people can have such a creation. ”

Aunt Xue sighed, suppressed the comparison slightly, and said with a smile: "That being said, our family doesn't play with wine, and we have to add you some new clothes and new jewelry." Yesterday, the shop sent a box of pearls, but it was still round, but it was slightly smaller, and it was too light to make jewelry, so it was just used on clothes. ”

Baochai said: "I still have a lot of clothes that I haven't worn, and I have made new ones, but I just put them away." Why waste beads. It's better to let Ying'er string beads with thread and weave some delicate fan pendant sachets, which are also good to give away. ”

Aunt Xue smiled and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Xue Pan running back from outside, snorting and snorting, her eyes were red, and her head was covered with sweat, as if she had been fished out of the water.

Aunt Xue was startled, when had she seen Xue Pan like this, and when Xue Pan was wronged outside, she was so distressed that she asked, "What's wrong with you? ”

Xue Pan's tears rolled down, looked at Aunt Xue's concerned face, looked at Xue Baochai's worried expression, squatted on the ground, hugged his head and whimpered and cried: "I've made a big disaster, sister...... I'm sorry for you......"

Woo woo cried and told Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai about the matter.

Regardless of Aunt Xue's kindness, Xue Pan's son has been doting and conniving for many years, and when she heard this, she broke the strings in her head, slapped Xue Pan a few times, and scolded angrily: "You bastard, what did I do in my last life...... Why didn't you take a rope and strangle me......"

scolded, tears fell, Aunt Xue's eyes darkened, and her body was almost planted on the ground.

Xue Pan immediately cried in fright: "Mom...... Mother...... It's not good, you hit me a few times, and ...... dissipated my anger."

Xue Baochai helped Aunt Xue sit down, ordered Ying'er to pour warm tea, and served Aunt Xue to drink, the dry fire in Aunt Xue's heart was poured with warm tea, and the person was a little sober, and cried to Baochai: "My son, I didn't take care of this evil obstacle...... What are we going to do?"

Baochai's tears rolled in his eyes a few times, but they never fell, but his eyes were red, and he persuaded Aunt Xue: "It's just Brother Cong'er casually saying that, where can I take it seriously...... My brother was concerned about it, so he was fooled. ”

Xue Pan glanced up at Baochai, stunned, and suddenly cried again: "Brother Cong said, I shouldn't have done it, I shouldn't have sent the coffin out in front of everyone." Isn't this a clear mention of people wanting to rebel against Prince Chung, Lao Chitose...... In case you encounter an eye that does not tolerate sand...... Like the Prince of Loyalty, there is revenge...... We're in trouble, and we don't know it, woo woo, it's all useless ......."

Baochai's face turned pale in an instant, and she cried bitterly.

The Xue family cried bitterly, and at this moment in the palace, Yuan Chun was also crying bitterly, but he was slapped by someone.

The queen stroked the golden hairpin on her head and sighed faintly: "That's it." Aunt Yuan is the Chen person next to the Empress Dowager. Such a flower and moon appearance, if it is broken, how can Ming'er run an errand for the old lady?"

The meaning in the language is to let Yuan Chun wait for the old lady.

Yuan Chun entered the palace for glory and wealth, followed the queen's side, and managed the palace rules, and there was not much time.

Those old concubines, who were originally the concubines of the first emperor, were like decorations in the palace, and they came out to show their faces during the New Year's holidays. Where was Yuan Chun willing, he immediately kowtowed and cried: "The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged." The slave has been with the mother for so many years, and she has always been loyal......"

"Loyal?" The smile on the queen's face was called dignified: "Loyal to the eunuch who bought the prince's side...... I have seen those little eunuchs boasting about your benefits in front of the prince. ”

Yuan Chun hated so much that his heart ached, and he sneered, but he didn't dare to raise his head, just kowtowed and said: "Since Niangniang knows this, how can she not know that the prince rewarded all the silver utensils in the palace to those little eunuchs." The slave maid was confused for a while, fearing that the prince's reputation would be damaged, so Fang took the silver and exchanged it for silverware with those little eunuchs and came back......"

The queen never expected Yuan Chun to say this, and said in a fierce voice: "There is such a thing?"

Yuan Chun bowed his head and said: "It's not that the slave and maid are the only ones who hold it, it's just that those little eunuchs all said that the prince gave it, not that they stole it." If you don't care about it, it won't be a system, and if you pursue it, it will hinder the prince's face. What's more, not all of them were eunuchs who were rewarded by the prince, and the grandmothers around the prince accompanied them and didn't speak, although the slaves and maids felt that it was inappropriate, they didn't dare to speak out about the Ming Niangniang, just for the sake of prudence, they took the silver money and exchanged it for utensils. ”

The prince's companion is the queen's mother's family, and the prince gives all the utensils in his palace to his relatives.

It is customary for relatives to make money, the emperor has to give the official position to support his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and the prince gives some things, which is also ordinary, but he gives out all the utensils he uses every day.

Speaking of which, either the queen's maiden family is too greedy, or the prince is too unidean, neither of them is a good thing.

Rao is queen is good at cultivating her energy, and when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the first palace shivered, and said slowly: "Prince, you are really a good prince......

Yuan Chun knew that this was the queen's anger, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "Niangniang, according to the knowledge of the slave, this can't be blamed on the prince." When the slave and maid were at home, the brothers always had to keep some purses on them when they went out to study, so that they could be rewarded. At the age of the prince, he is almost inseparable from the younger brother of the slave maid...... The prince next to him rewards people, but the prince can't reward him...... Although the comparison is not good, children at this age are unwilling to fall behind. ”

Yuan Chun's words were almost clear, the prince had no money to reward, and he had to compare with other princes, so he took the utensils in his palace and ordered the eunuch to exchange the silver money and come back.

Yuan Chun argued for herself from the side, the prince and Baoyu were as old as ever, and when she saw the prince, she saw her younger brother, and it was impossible for her to have any thoughts that she shouldn't think.

The queen's face softened a lot, she became the queen, her IQ was at least above the horizontal line, knowing that once this matter was not handled well, the prince would be reprimanded by the emperor if she was in front of her today, even if she couldn't shake the prince's position, but it would not be good to accumulate over time. Teach her son a lesson, the queen had to sprinkle her anger on the eunuchs beside the prince, and she always had to kill a few eunuchs before she could show her depression in her heart, and said lightly: "Called the ...... around the prince"

When Yuan Chun heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and said, "No." ”

Seeing that the queen's eyes became cold, Yuan Chun smiled humbly: "The prince has always been benevolent and righteous, if he knew that Niangniang punished the people around him for this, he gave the villain a chance to instigate...... That's what the slave thinks. When Niangniang was looking for a private person, she talked to the prince in detail, and the prince was born smart and naturally understood. As for those little eunuchs, they will find a mistake in the future and send them away. Wouldn't it be appropriate to be so peaceful? ”

The queen nodded and said with a smile: "In the end, it is the Chen people next to the Empress Dowager, and she is really extraordinary." This time, I wronged you. ”

Yuan Chun said that he didn't dare, but his heart was extremely cold. She has always been alert, knowing that if the queen can wronged her once, she can be wronged a second time, but the queen's henchman, who does not have three heads and six arms, and an immortal body, cannot be a fool.

Yuan Chun suffered a grievance, got a few warm words from the queen, temporarily survived the crisis in the palace, and began to look for the next opportunity.

In Rongguo's mansion, Jia Cong finally slept comfortably for an afternoon, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he was completely frightened as if he had seen a ghost. Walk through the Red Mansion to write essays
