Chapter Seventy-Three

It is said that Jia Cong now has a large group of brothers in Lixiangyuan, and he is busy. Every day, in addition to going to Su Zheng's house to study or going to the mansion in the south of the city to practice martial arts, he also has to teach this gang of men mathematics and English when he comes back. Everyone didn't understand what they wanted to learn from Western Chinese, and Jia Cong smiled and said, "Because...... Most others don't. In the future, we will inevitably have to speak to others so that others will not understand. "Some people understand, some don't, and those who don't understand have to learn hard. Jia Cong has nothing to do to talk about a lot of knowledge in his past life, which is available in various disciplines. This group of young people is very quick to accept new things, so it is not a big problem, but I admire him more and more.

Only a few days after Bi'an's birthday, Jia Yu suddenly sent someone to come over and tell him: "A few days ago, someone in the old lady's house came to tell him, saying that he heard her plot with the second family to get the eldest girl out of the palace. ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? What does Daddy command? ”

The kid said, "The master said to let you deal with it." ”

Jia Cong's face was full of surprise: "Me? How do I deal with it? ”

The kid said: "This master didn't mention it, the third master wants to go." Then he smiled and resigned.

Jia Cong suddenly felt a headache, this old man was becoming more and more unreliable. Coincidentally, Gong Kun was here at this time, so he hurriedly went back to discuss with him.

Gong Kun spread his hands: "I know the market and the military camp." I don't understand the women of the Emperor's family. ”

The corners of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "Even you don't know, and Brother Qi'er and Sister Lin don't know." I asked Brother Feng to go. ”

Gong Kun said: "It's also done." ”

Jia Cong then led Lan Xiang Ziguang to Feng's house.

He didn't go to look for Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying was also going to look for him in two days, and there were some recent movements in their family that needed to be paid attention to. So he looked at him with a smile and said, "Didn't you say that you've been busy lately?" Why is it suddenly free? ”

Jia Cong said with a sad face: "It's only been a few days of good life, but I'm afraid that there will be trouble." Because he said, "A few days ago, my father asked me to take advantage of the Xue family's move away to forcibly occupy their yard. ”

Feng Ziying was stunned: "Forcibly occupy their yard? ”

Jia Cong then said "Xue Pan moved to Wang's house to let his uncle discipline him, and Mrs. Wang wanted to stay in the courtyard for Baoyu to marry", and said triumphantly: "The family has gone to the Yimen to send them off, my father ordered me to rush to move in at that moment, who said that I would not move out!" There is a door to the outside of the temple, and everything you need to eat can be brought in from the outside. ”

Feng Ziying laughed and laughed, and only said for a long time: "How can your father be angry with a child." ”

Jia Cong said: "I can get benefits horizontally and vertically, and children will be children." ”

Feng Ziying couldn't help but shake her head, and asked again: "You just said that there is trouble, what trouble." ”

Jia Cong sighed and asked, "I don't dare to ask Mr. Su about this, and he doesn't know if the old master is in order." I can only ask you. Brother Feng, according to common sense, what method can be used to get out the female officials in the palace? Can I mess with them so they can't make it? ”

Feng Ziying was shocked: "What nonsense? The palace is heavily guarded, and you are fooling around. ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "That's it, how can it be so easy? Brother Feng, I'll tell you, someone overheard the second aunt saying that she was going to try to get the eldest sister out of the palace, and then told my father, I happened to hear it. ”

Feng Ziying was shocked and sighed. What was surprising was that Mrs. Wang dared to fight the idea in the palace, and sighed that the two rooms of the Jia family had fought so badly that they even used "informing".

Jia Cong said: "I can occupy that courtyard now, but the old lady is reluctant to move out of Brother Baoyu." If the eldest sister leaves the palace, I will probably have to move back to my original room and make room for her. The ancients said well, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Stayed in the big yard for a few days and I didn't want to move back. ”

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "How can outsiders have the final say on the affairs of the palace, I'm afraid she is daydreaming." ”

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Really! Wow, that's great, just waiting for your words, I can occupy this courtyard until Brother Baoyu gets married! ”

Feng Ziying didn't know that his identity had already been touched by this kid, and she thought that he believed her casual words, so she couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.

The two of them hung idle for a long time, and Jia Cong returned home to inform his Laozi, but Feng Ziying reported the matter without mentioning it.

Jia's mother suddenly became interested recently, visiting relatives and friends everywhere, and frequently corresponded with the old ladies and ancestors of all households, Jia Yu knew that she was fighting ghosts, and she couldn't find an excuse not to let her go, so she had to order someone to keep an eye on it, and turned around and went out to the dart bureau to find Gong Sanyi.

Gong San is also very busy at this time, because he has already circled several places to choose one or two to build a cottage, and is discussing with Jia Si and others day and night. Hearing that Mother Jia was afraid that she wanted to seek Yuanchun to leave the palace and visit her relatives every day, she shook her head again and again: "I'm afraid that the old lady wants to find someone to ask for marriage in the palace for the eldest girl." If the four kings and eight princes marry again, the saint will not be able to bear it. ”

Jia Yu said angrily: "The woman's opinion, no eyes, do not arouse the suspicion of the saint and do not stop!" Mr. Gong, how do you think you can stop her? ”

Gong Sanyi thought for a while: "Unless, even if she can give any benefits, people will not marry." Enhou, your eldest niece, what do you want her son-in-law to be? ”

Jia Yu said: "What's the matter? Don't bother me. ”

Gong San also said: "What if you marry badly? ”

Jia Yu said: "Just don't kill people, and you can't take care of the others." ”

Gong San also nodded.

Two days later, Mrs. Dingcheng Hou led several daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to Zhenwu'an to incense, and the third grandmother of their family occasionally heard a sister-in-law say "Don't let people know...... This grandmother is the most ear-long, and she glanced at it, but saw that the sister-in-law who responded to the voice happened to recognize herself. When her master left, she quietly pulled the sister-in-law to ask what was going on.

The sister-in-law told her: "The old lady of Rongguo Mansion is seeking the eldest girl of their family to leave the palace, and their second wife has come to burn incense and light lamps to relieve difficulties." ”

The third grandmother hurriedly asked, "Eliminate difficulties?" What's so hard to eliminate? ”

The sister-in-law then said in a low voice: "This eldest girl had a fortune telling in her early years, and her fate was extremely hard and the most troublesome. The second wife was afraid that her daughter would not be able to marry in the future, so she didn't dare to sue sΓΉ people, so she was sent to the palace in the hope that she could grind away some of the calamity in her life according to the dragon qi. Their old lady didn't know anything, but she took pity on her granddaughter and was looking for her to come out. The second wife was afraid that her daughter's disaster would not be exhausted and brought back to her parents' house, so she secretly came to our nunnery to burn incense, light lamps, and donate utilitarian money. Grandma, don't tell anyone to go! ”

The third grandmother hurriedly said: "Naturally, I don't tell anyone to go." He pretended to tell her, "This is a matter of other people's families, don't sue people in the future!" ”

The sister-in-law said yes again and again.

Where are these three grandmothers who can keep their mouths shut? But whenever you have the opportunity to talk to someone, you will whisper. The so-called things gather like and people are grouped, and most of her close friends are also like her, with long tongues, and she also added oil and vinegar to say, "In recent years, the saint seems to have a bad life, and I think I am tired by her." After a while, half of the capital's gossip-loving wives and grandmothers knew. Only Nan'an Wangfu, because Huo Xuan was also victimized by a rumor, there are still people who take it out from time to time to chew the root of their tongues, and the princesses and princesses in the palace have spoken up for the eldest girl of the Jia family a few times.

On this day, the saint was reviewing the folds in the Daming Palace, and someone suddenly came to report outside, and the queen mother came to a eunuch to ask for a meeting outside. The saint put down his pen and sat bored for a moment, because he raised his head and said with a smile: "Please." ”

After a while, the eunuch came in and kowtowed, and replied: "Concubine Nan'an came to greet the Queen Mother today, saying that she had something to ask the Queen Mother." ”

The saint hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" ”

The eunuch said: "In the old years, there were many rumors in the market to slander the prince of Nan'an, and the concubine was extremely angry. ”

The saint was stunned, he had forgotten about it for too long, and he really couldn't remember it if no one mentioned it. couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's just some gossip, it's long gone." ”

The eunuch said: "The saint naturally can't remember these little things, but there are still people who take them out and chew the root of their tongues from time to time. Therefore, the concubine wanted to ask a female official in the palace to go back for the prince of Nan'an, so that she could use the grace of heaven to suppress the tongue of idlers. The Queen Mother has already agreed. ”

The sage smiled and said, "Since the Queen Mother has agreed, let her choose one." ”

The eunuch also smiled: "Exactly." But it happened that when the concubine entered the palace today, she met an aunt who led the way, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were good, and she was not young, and she should be released in two years. ”

The saint nodded: "If you have this fate, just give it to her." ”

The eunuch said: "Just to give the Nan'an Palace, the Queen Mother wants to bother the saint to give marriage." ”

The saint said: "This is a small matter. Because he called someone to draft the order, he casually asked, "What is the name of the female official?" ”

The eunuch replied: "Jia's Yuanchun." ”

The saint was stunned: "Who?" ”

The eunuch said: "That aunt's name is Jia Yuanchun. ”

The saint's heart suddenly became nameless and angry, grabbed the paperweight on the side of the case and smashed it to the ground, "clang" sounded, frightening the eunuchs and palace maids around to kneel. Though he did not know why he was angry, they all prostrated and said, "The Holy One has rested his wrath." ”

The sage originally didn't know the name of the daughter of the Jia family at all, but because Feng Ziying reported a letter to Mrs. Wang that she wanted to get her daughter out of the palace, Fang asked. At that time, he was only daydreaming as Mrs. Wang's Qingtian alone, and he didn't want her to really be able to calculate! Yin sneered: "What a wonderful way." He glanced at the eunuch again, "Concubine Nan'an's intention was to ask for a female official in the palace casually, and let her find another one." ”

The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Back to the saint, the queen mother has already responded." ”

Dai Quan tried his best to wink at the side, and coughed twice.

The saint hated so much that the roots of his teeth hurt, and it took a long time to suppress the fire, because he spit out two breaths, he said: "Well, since the Queen Mother has already responded, let her go back with Concubine Nan'an today." Zuo is just an ordinary guide, and she can't hold it down even if her status is high, so it's appropriate to be an ordinary concubine. There you go. "Because he raised his hand and took the fold to see, he no longer took care of the eunuch.

The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed and said yes, and withdrew tremblingly.

He had just gone out of the temple gate when the saint slammed the fold in his hand to the ground.

Dai Quan cautiously came over and persuaded: "Sage, just bear with it for a while." ”

The saint sneered, "What if you can't bear it? When has it ever been my turn to call the shots in this palace? ”

Dai Quan stood next to him and didn't dare to say anything.

When the eunuch went back, Concubine Nan'an was holding Yuan Chun's hand and praising her, and the Queen Mother was looking at her with a smile. Hearing what he said, the whole room was stunned. After a while, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at Yuan Chun, and saw that her face was frightened, her eyes were blank, and she didn't know anything, so she asked, "Could it be that you have offended someone?" ”

Yuan Chun knelt down with tears in his eyes and said: "The slave maid has never seen the face of the saint, not to mention, the ladies have at most seen it from afar, or I have seen Concubine Hui when I first entered the palace in the early years." ”

The Queen Mother became more and more puzzled: "Your father took the lead in returning the silver taels owed to the treasury, and the saint should like him very much." Because he looked at Concubine Nan'an.

Concubine Nan'an naturally became more and more infamous. She was entrusted by Jia's mother to calculate her eldest granddaughter, and thought that the daughter-in-law and grandson in the house are now of the same mind, and none of the rest have the ability. That woman turned out to be ungrateful, and she forgot all about how she helped her bring down Qin Si in her early years, and she didn't even dare to listen to her own words. If she can ask this eldest girl of the Jia family from the palace to come back as a side concubine, and she has the support of Rongguo Mansion, she can also avoid the daughter-in-law's family being dominant. But now I only got a concubine, and I didn't say anything about the marriage of the saint, and I didn't even have a dowry when I heard the words of this eunuch, so I let him take it back! What's the difference between this and taking a maid back? I knew why I had to spend this face. I couldn't help but feel unhappy in my heart, and my face was not yet visible, and I sighed: "I can't get the face of the saint, and the courtiers have to receive the decree." ”

Yuan Chun collapsed to the ground.

Even if he was unwilling, Jia Yuanchun was still picked up and went back to pack a few things. The Queen Mother didn't like the Jia family either, so she just ordered someone to reward her with a hairpin. Yuan Chun went back with Concubine Nan'an's sedan chair that day. It's a pity that this woman is also ambitious, and now she can't even get a decent name.

Princess Nan'an heard that the old lady asked for a female official from the palace to come back as a concubine for her husband, and she was over twenty years old, and there was not even a reward in the palace, so she thought that she was just an ordinary palace maid, and teased: "Can you go to the table after serving in the palace for a few days?" It's not necessarily as good as those girls who have a room. "Because he was instructed, he went to the back to clean which house he came out and put it in.

When she was settled, she ordered someone to bring her to see her, but she was a little surprised. This woman is really a beauty, but her expression is in a trance, her eyes are cloudy, and she has no energy, and her appearance is three or four points off. She couldn't help but think to herself in her heart, this aunt was obviously unwilling to come to Nan'an Palace, could it be that there was something secret in the palace? It's just that I don't have a clue at all, I don't know what to do with her, and it's not good or bad. Thinking of this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The prince went to the army, and I don't know when I will come back." The girl settled in the house for the time being, and waited. And he gave her ten taels of silver.

Yuan Chun endured a kowtow and followed. It wasn't until she was gone that the princess remembered that she forgot to ask her name.

When Jia's mother got the letter, it was like a thunderbolt. After a while, he burst into tears: "My hard-working son...... Mrs. Wang fainted on the spot.
