Chapter Ninety-Six: Calculation
Jin sighed and said: "You are also ten years old when you see it, you should know something about it, although our mansion is not a hereditary prince's mansion, but your father has also gained a good reputation with his official reputation for many years, and those ladies are polite when they see me, so I also heard some things in the palace." There are some things that we can say at home, but we can't spread them outside, and we don't have to enter the palace to cause trouble again. Jin's eyebrows hesitated, and the cloisonnΓ© silver bracelet hanging on his wrist hit the car wall with a dingdong sound, Zhang Erzhen wondered, it was only half a day's work, Jin's suddenly spoke so approachably and gently, he was a little uncomfortable, only to hear Jin continue: "It is no secret that Wan Guifei Niangniang's pet crown of the sixth palace is no longer a secret, and it is easy to conceive a dragon fetus and not keep it, and it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future." So today's Wang family Shao family is prosperous, now the queen mother is raising His Royal Highness the Prince, Mrs. Wang is not here today, Mrs. Shao, as the sister-in-law of Concubine Shao's mother-in-law, has naturally become the object of the ladies' closeness, His Royal Highness the Prince is fourteen years old this year, and he should have chosen the princess a long time ago, and there is such a thing in the palace today, so ah, whether the princess is a girl from the Wang family, or a girl from the Wan family, or a girl from the Wei family of the Shao family, they have to fight, we don't have such a big backstage background in our house, and we can't afford to gamble......"
Hearing the repetition of the old words of the Jin family, Zhang Erzhen felt sad for no reason, Zhu Youji's position as the crown princess was eyed by so many families, and the mother family of the princess and concubine of the princess's mansion, after all, Zhang Erzhen felt that if she really wanted to fight, there were more than ten little girls in front of her, and this did not include the saint's favorite, the ladies who wanted to offer it, and the relatives of the harem mother, which was not easier than her taking the public examination back then.
Zhang Erzhen clenched her fingers and wrung her handkerchief without making a sound......
The next thing was to stay closed for a while, and Zhang Erzhen had a new activity, which was to follow the Jin housekeeper to read the account book. After returning to the mansion last time, Jin didn't know if he had discovered the difference between his own girl and other girls, or in order to pass the time, he had always asked Zhang Erzhen's mother to ask the eldest girl to come to Zhenghui Courtyard every morning and evening to ask for peace. On the other hand, Jin decided to cultivate the ability of the eldest girl as the head of the house, as long as there is something to deal with, he sent someone to the butterfly courtyard to call the eldest girl, Zhang Erzhen is sometimes sleeping, sometimes embroidering, sometimes pulling the two-month girl to play the leaf card, but as long as the words of the Jin family come over, Zhang Erzhen must pass.
Jin looked at his daughter's increasingly beautiful face and sighed: "Zhen Zhen is such a sign, but it is cheaper for the Sun family." What's good about the Sun family, not to mention the thin family background, and the interpersonal contacts are complicated, I just look at Mrs. Sun to know that it is not easy to get along, you are stubborn, get along with her in the future, but you are more sulking and suffer from you. β
Zhang Erzhen had already changed into a warm pair of small cotton jackets, sitting on the low mound at the bottom of the Jin family, hanging her head and not being able to cheer up, Jin looked at her like this and hated it: "Look at you don't care at all, I have become a blind worryer." Do you think that everyone's family is as peaceful as our house? Look at the capital, whose family does not have to serve the mother-in-law at the top, and take care of the servants at the bottom, and there are a large group of aunts and concubines waiting to eat and drink in the middle, how can the life of the housewife be so easy as you think, and those who have no family background can't always ask the wife of the house to make money. β
"The Sun family only has two people, the son of the Sun family and Sister Luo, I have also seen Aunt Sun, it looks very good, when I ate crucian carp, she also helped me pick thorns. Zhang Erzhen was still a little sleepy, squinting her eyes and said.
"When you get married, you are someone's daughter-in-law, where is there such a good day waiting. The Sun family's population is not simple, it is always the Sun family's business, we haven't gone in for a day to see, so we can't make judgments for a day. Zhen Zhen, come, look at the ledger of the kitchen today, is there anything wrong?"
Zhang Erzhen took the thick account book handed by the Jin family, flipped over the page today, and replied after only one glance: "Today's account book is fine." "Actually, Mother Li killed an old hen today, and it was not recorded in the account book, so there were twenty copper plates missing. According to the current price, a chicken is only ten copper plates, Li's mother went out for a trip, but she was greedy for ten copper plates and a chicken, Zhang Erzhen felt that there was no need to say it, the provincial Jin family was going to be punished and angry, so she didn't have to be angry with herself.
Jin said angrily: "You show me carefully! Mrs. Li bought these and brought out a total of three little girls and a carriage, don't you think it's too much?"
Zhang Erzhen suddenly said: "Mother Li should bring a little girl, the carriage is big enough." In fact, if you want me to say, we might as well just wait for the people from the fruit and vegetable store to deliver it every day, why send Mother Li to get it every day, isn't it troublesome?"
"What do you know, the vegetables and fruits are also sent in order, and they can't be sent to us as soon as they come, and they are also according to the grade, and they won't be fresh if they don't have to be delivered to our home, so I sent Mrs. Li to get them, and if you have bad ones, you can take them out, don't bring them to the house." β
Kim is always very calculating in these small places, and Zhang Erzhen feels that just like a Virgo in her previous life, she is a little unsuitable for her, no matter how troublesome it is, she always has to be perfect until she is satisfied.
"How are the little girls you bought last time, the two girls in your courtyard are still honest and don't cause trouble? The two girls in Ershu's courtyard I don't think they are honest enough, when Ershu came to ask for peace in the morning, the girl named Shuoguo only had a straight face, as if she was hungry without eating. Jin's broken thoughts, Zhang Erzhen said: "Er Shu didn't have a stomach trouble yesterday, and she tossed until late to fall asleep." Fruits and harvests are just two children, and they can't afford to worry about their spirits. β
"Do you mean to complain about me? I used to be too used to you, and the people in the capital, not the merchants of the eunuch's house, also pay attention to the morning and dusk and the province can not be slack, and you have only been asking for peace for a long time, and you are ready to show me a face. β
Zhang Erzhen rolled her eyes silently and remained silent, it is better not to say anything wrong, silence is a panacea. Zhang Erzhen picked up the account book that she had just put down and glanced at it a few times, these things are these things every day, and it is annoying to see it. Obviously, Jin was more irritable, pinched his temples and said, "I want to go to Jing'an Temple to offer incense the day after tomorrow, so I will take you with me." Seeing that winter is coming, the next time I go out will be waiting for the New Year. Your father is not having a good time in the Inspectorate, I have to go and worship the Buddha to bless us with a smooth and smooth life, no matter what happens in the capital, we will not be implicated. β
Zhang Erzhen responded listlessly, just go, just get in the carriage, and don't have to walk over by yourself. Lazily completing today's task, Zhang Erzhen paced slowly on the long verandah, dismissed Mingyue, and walked along the maple leaf path in late autumn. Suddenly a little flustered in his heart, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the palace, and secretly despised his blind sadness for no reason, autumn was originally a desolate season, probably so.
At this time, the Fengzao Palace has broken porcelain pieces, the glazed enamel Xi Shi ear cup landed with a "ding" sound, the empty carved sandalwood brocade window was also flown in Jingfu long hairpin penetrated a small hole half a foot round, the golden brocade silk Luo Feng collapsed and lay a haggard beautiful woman, the face is a little thirties, the willow eyebrows are curved, the water is shining, only the eyebrows are fierce, the lips are frivolous, and there is a bean-colored palace dress under the head, first dismissed the two little palace maids standing in front of the door, put down the heavy gold-inlaid silk edge silk planing tent, persuaded:" Niangniang's body is just getting better, but we can't get angry anymore and let the people from other palaces grab the handle, it's not good for us......"
Wan Zhen'er turned pale with a charming face, and sneered: "Now no one in the palace doesn't look at my jokes, looking at me and losing the imperial heir, they all know how many eyeliners are waiting outside the Fengzao Palace, just waiting for me to lose my temper and anger the saint, hehe! I want to see a good show, I want them to see it, what can I do if I lose my temper! Whoever has the courage to come to me and say, I can still be afraid of her!"
"Niangniang has not given birth to a prince for many years, and she has not been favored for many years, Niangniang is not like them, with a belly to compete for favor, why bother with them. β
"I'm not reconciled!" Wan Zhen'er bit her pale lips and couldn't stop trembling: "Why! Why! Those sluts are born one after another, Shao Dong'er's slut can give birth to several, why can't this palace keep any of them! This palace is not convinced! This palace is not convinced! Why do you treat me like this!"
"Mother, why are you so troubled. The queen raised the crown prince and the eighth prince, you can't have no children under your knees, the top priority is to take care of your body and pick a prince to keep by your side. Without the prince by his side, it is not a solution after all......"
Wan Zhen'er asked in a hoarse voice, "...... Xianglian ...... , can't this palace have a child of his own?"
The grandmother named Xianglian looked sad and sighed: "Why is Niangniang suffering, the courtyard of the Tai Hospital has come to see, and how many Taoist monks have been called by the Holy Lord to chant and meditate, even many people from southern Yunnan have come, and His Royal Highness the Prince's illness has been cured, but Niangniang's body is ...... What the hell is ...... left behind?"
Hearing Xianglian talk about the land of southern Yunnan, Wan Zhen'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she muttered: "The people from the land of southern Yunnan have also entered the palace?
"It was the saint who ordered the prince to call him into the palace, yesterday I went to the Qianqing Palace, and yesterday afternoon I went around outside our palace and didn't come in, it was the saint who ordered me to disturb the rest of the mother, and I went to Kunning Palace today. β
"The crown prince is in the palace now?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is by the saint's side all day long, and the saint seems to have some attention, that is, the other concubines and princes have seen less......"
Wan Zhen'er sneered and said, "Look, it's not so smooth!Go and tell Wan An of Qin Tianjian that you don't have to put it off any longer, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
Wan Zhen'er bit her snow-white lower lip, and tiredly lay down in the dark red Su embroidered gold brocade quilt, closing her eyes and not opening her mouth again. Xianglian retreated silently, but Wan Zhen'er opened her eyes suddenly, and just now, she seemed to see thick black poisonous blood flowing from the corner of Ji Fu's mouth, which was delicate and bright......
