Chapter 203: Framed
It was nearly noon before Jin Shaokang brought King Ning and his wife to the Hou Mansion.
First, Mrs. Tai took the whole family to salute Princess Ning Wangning, and then, King Ning and Princess Ning saluted Mrs. Tai.
Jin Yanran is dressed in a new dress, wearing a red and gold-sprinkled silk placket jacket, a 'meat' cinnamon powder white folded makeup 'flower' skirt, a double phoenix bun combed on her head, a 'plug' with three fulcrums of emerald inlaid southern pearl gold hairpins, and a gilded jade emerald green treasure 'flower' pinned to her sideburns, noble and glorious, and there are so many princesses in her gestures.
Jiang Ruonan quietly looked at King Ning again, and saw that he was about twenty-two or three years old, tall and sturdy, with fine white skin, handsome appearance, and a kind of aristocratic arrogance in his speech, but it was not very annoying.
After the salute, Jin Shaokang introduced the people in the family to King Ning, and after greeting each other, Jin Shaokang accompanied King Ning to drink tea and chat, while Jin Yanran went to the rosin courtyard with Mrs. Tai and a group of 'women'.
Mrs. Tai sent Aunt Zhao, Mrs. Wang, and Qing Dai down, leaving only Jiang Ruonan to sit with her.
Jin Yanran took advantage of the fact that no one was there, and bowed to Mrs. Tai again, Mrs. Tai looked at the glorious 'girl' below, her eyes were moist, "Okay, get up quickly, now that you are a princess and a royal person, it is not appropriate to kneel for me again." ”
Jin Yanran raised her head, looked at her mother, and choked up: "No matter what the identity of the 'daughter' is now, the 'daughter' is always the mother's 'daughter', and it is natural for the mother to be bowed down by the 'daughter'. ”
Jiang Ruonan walked over and helped Jin Yanran up, "It's rare to come back, you won't be able to leave for long, why don't you take the opportunity to have a good chat with us, and make your mother cry?" ”
Jin Yanran wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then got up and sat down next to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai held her hand, looked at her carefully, and saw that her face was ruddy, and her spirit was radiant, and she didn't seem to have suffered any grievances in the palace, and her heart was relieved, "Yanran, it's good in the palace, the prince is good to you, and those 'women' are good to you?" Your sister-in-law is not an outsider, maybe she can help you with some details, don't be ashamed, tell us about it. ”
Jin Yanran's face flushed slightly, lowered her head, and said softly: "The prince is very good to me, these three days have been in my house, the next day, I asked Concubine Jingxian to call the account books and keys in the house to me, before I passed the 'door', Jingxian was in charge of the affairs of the house, I thought at first that Jingxian would be unwilling to 'hand' it out, but I didn't expect her to say a word, personally sent it to my room, and said, even if the prince is silent, she will 'hand over', before there was no 'female' master in the house, now I entered the 'door' and became the palace." The 'female' master, naturally, must be in charge of the palace by the 'female' master, so that the rules will not be 'messed up'. ”
King Ning had already been separated from the palace, and his biological mother, Concubine Jiang, naturally stayed in the palace, and there were no elders in the palace, so Jin Yanran had to be in charge as soon as he passed.
Jin Yanran said this, paused, and continued: "I see that Jingxian side concubine is kind and reasonable, well-informed, and interesting, and I have also seen the other two side concubines, they are both 'very' well-behaved, and they are also very respectful to me, I don't think they should be too difficult people to get along with." As for those 'servant' concubines, their status is low, and there will be no trouble. ”
Mrs. Tai frowned: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, don't be too careless, since Concubine Jingxian has been in charge of the palace for so long, I don't know how much benefit she has gained from it, and now she wants to 'hand' it over, it's not normal to be so willing, you should be vigilant, be careful of her ghosting behind her back, the housekeepers in the palace should be her people, and she is also more familiar with the affairs of the palace than you, it is very easy to do something about it," Mrs. Tai's eyes flashed, "Slowly replace her people without a trace, You also have to have more snacks to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the palace as soon as possible, don't let the prince be disappointed in you, in case you do something wrong, let the prince feel that you can't manage the palace, and then transfer the power in your hands, it will be difficult for you to take it back."
After all, Mrs. Tai has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and she has thought through the situation of her 'daughter' at once.
"Over the years, I have taught you a lot of housekeeping, but the Hou Mansion is not much more complicated than the Wangfu, and the situation in the Wangfu is much more complicated, so you can't be careless."
Jiang Ruonan deeply sympathizes, what is the situation in the Hou Mansion, when Jin Yanran learned to be a housekeeper, the old Hou Ye was already dead, and the aunt was left with Aunt Zhao's 'mixed' life, the brothers and sisters either got married, or they honestly didn't dare to jump, and their own brother loved her very much, the population was simple, and things were relatively simple, she had never been exposed to the 'dark' side, and she had always grown up with an innocent heart.
If you want to say that those side concubines and concubines are honest and peaceful, she Jiang Ruonan is the first to believe it, so many 'women', a man, how can they be favored if they don't fight? How can you have an heir if you don't have a favor, and you have to fight for an heir, otherwise how can you have a future? Are all honest and give the benefits to others? Jiang Ruonan has lived so long, he has never seen such a kind person. Even Qing Dai, a helpless 'female' singer, knows that she has to fight with her 'sex' life
Jin Yanran is like a child who has just learned to swim, and when she comes out of the children's area, she suddenly throws herself into the 'adult' area, completely unaware of how deep and dangerous the water in the 'adult' area is, and she can be swallowed up anytime and anywhere
Jin Yanran obviously didn't realize her situation, she said: "I don't think Concubine Jingxian is like that kind of person, she is afraid that I am not familiar with the affairs of the palace, and she has introduced various things to the palace every day in the past few days, I don't understand, she also told me in detail, if she really has this kind of thought, why help me, just wait for me to get out of trouble."
Jiang Ruonan sighed in her heart, silly child, she is 'touching' your bottom, if you don't understand, ask her, what details you have, she doesn't know everything
Mrs. Tai glanced at the 'girl', wanted to say something, but held back, and just said: "If you don't understand anything in the future, go and ask Mother Yang, she is a special marriage for you, she is experienced, you just have to believe her, if there is anything difficult to choose, discuss with her, except for her, no one should believe it" The voice was a little stern.
Jin Yanran lowered her head, "Got it." ”
Mrs. Tai turned her head again and asked Jiang Ruonan: "Whose 'daughter' is that Concubine Jingxian?" ”
Jiang Ruonan said: "It is the 'daughter' of Lord Shen's family in the household department, and the other two side concubines, one is the 'daughter' of Lord Liu's family, the director of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is the 'daughter' of Zhang Siye's family, both of which are 'daughters'." The identity of the other 'servant' concubines is not worth mentioning, it should be noted that this Jingxian side concubine was in the last draft, King Ning took a fancy to it with his own eyes, and begged the emperor, but it is estimated that the emperor thinks that Jingxian's side concubine's family background is not worthy of the royal family, so she refers to the side concubine, but she has been favored in the past three years, plus she is talented, 'smart' and capable, so she can be the director of the family in the past three years, and now has a son and a 'daughter'. ”
Mrs. Tai was very satisfied when she saw Jiang Ruonan's treasures, "It's rare that you are so concerned about Yanran's affairs." ”
Jiang Ruonan said: "My sister-in-law, naturally I have to care more." "Fortunately, she learned about the situation in the palace before, otherwise Mrs. Tai couldn't answer today's question, isn't she indifferent to her sister-in-law? She was afraid that she would have to remember it.
It's really not easy to be a daughter-in-law'......
Mrs. Tai groaned: "The royal rules are strict, even if she gives birth to the eldest son, she will have nothing." As long as Yan Ran gives birth to a son-in-law, she is a legitimate son, but in case she takes away the position of the head of the family and holds the palace in her hands, this matter is not easy to say, so Yan Ran ......" She looked at Jin Yanran and said sharply: "You must not trust her, don't let her know anything about you, the other two side concubines must try their best to win over, and all the affairs in the palace must be handled properly, don't let her have any chances"
Jin Yanran seemed to be a little frightened by her, and her face turned pale, "Got it, mother." ”
Mrs. Tai nodded and said to Jiang Ruonan: "You take her out for a walk, I have something to say to Mother Yang." Mother Yang is Jin Yanran's mother who married with her, and Jiang Ruonan knew that Mrs. Tai was asking her about the specific situation. I'm afraid that Mother Yang will have something to say in front of Jin Yanran.
Jiang Ruonan took Jin Yanran to Qiutang Courtyard.
Jiang Ruonan pulled her to sit down on the kang and asked Yingxue to bring in hot tea.
Jin Yanran took a sip of hot tea, put the tea cup with white 'jade' porcelain painted with colorful 'flowers' on the kang table, and then said to Jiang Ruonan: "Sister-in-law, is it really as my mother said, Concubine Jingxian is such a terrible person?" You haven't seen her before, so you don't understand, she can't find the slightest annoying thing about her......"
Jiang Ruonan quietly interrupted her: "Yanran, did you think Aunt Yu hated it before?" ”
Jin Yanran was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Ruonan held her hand and said softly, "Yanran, you may think I'm troublesome when I say something, but you are the most distressed sister of Master Hou, as your sister-in-law, even if you don't like to listen, I still have to say it."
Before, you were the eldest lady at home, even if you read the wrong person and believed the wrong person, it didn't matter, because they had no stake in you and had little impact on you. But those 'women' in the palace, if you are a little negligent, it is you who suffer sometimes, and you would rather believe what they have than what they don't, whether they are good or not, you must not get too close to them, you can call them sisters on the surface, and be affectionate, but in your heart you must not trust any of them. Be wary of anyone. How do you know that they only don't have Aunt Yu's kind of person?
Also, you must grasp King Ning's heart, there are so many in the house' Women's people, it is inevitable to distract him, you have to make him feel that you really care about him, in addition to in daily life, you have to do more dedication, you might as well put some effort on Concubine Jiang, you must go into the palace to see during the New Year's holidays, usually have the opportunity to go in to see her, accompany her to relieve boredom, bring some delicious and useful things to her, I will help you talk in front of the Queen Mother, so that it will be more convenient for you to enter the palace in the future, your intentions will be known by King Ning sooner or later, he will remember your heart in his heart, in the future, even if you make any mistakes, he will also stand on your side, and be considerate of you。 ”
If you want to occupy a place in the heart of King Ning, who has so many 'female' people, you can only pay more, more forbearance, in the eyes of modern 'female' and 'sexual', it is indeed very aggrieved, but in this male-dominated society, only in this way can you have the last laugh.
But she knows this, but she can't do it, she has received a modern education, she doesn't have the kind of thinking of three from four virtues, all the dedication and forbearance are limited, she doesn't feel what is the meaning of laughing to the end, she has the courage to bear all the consequences, but Jin Yanran is different, she is a person of this era, she has the deep-rooted ideas of this era, this road is the most suitable for her.
Jin Yanran was moved by these heartfelt words, she clenched Jiang Ruonan's hand, choked up and said, "Only those who really care about me will say this." Sister-in-law, in the past, I favored my aunt, I misunderstood you a lot, and I went against you several times, don't you blame me? ”
Jiang Ruonan smiled and said softly, "Yanran, do you remember when we dealt with Xu Wanqing together?" You hated me so much at the time, and you still 'stood up' to help me when it was most critical, because of what? Because you know that we are a family, and the family has to help each other" Then, he pretended to be angry and said: "You have helped Aunt Yu against me several times, it is false that I am not angry, but I also know that your heart is good, and in the future, you, the princess, will take care of me more, which can be regarded as compensation."
Jin Yanran burst into tears and laughed, "Sister-in-law is not serious when she talks about it."
At noon, everyone ate together, and during the banquet, King Ning helped Yanran sandwich the dishes she liked to eat, which made Mrs. Tai and Jin Shaokang very comforted in their hearts, and King Ning still liked Yanran.
After the meal, the two sat down for a while, then got up and took their leave. Jin Yanran remembered that she couldn't go back to her parents' house from time to time after that, and when she left, she took Mrs. Tai's hand and shed tears, and Mrs. Tai smiled: "Silly child, what are you crying about, can't you come back during the New Year?" ”
King Ning comforted on the side: "Yes, I will come back with you then." ”
Jin Yanran blushed and stopped her tears. The two got into the carriage, and Jin Shaokang sent them back.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Tai instructed Jiang Ruonan, "Send someone to invite the Yu family to come over, and solve Yu Qiuyue's matter today, if she doesn't leave, I won't be at peace for a day, lest she have any vicious thoughts one day."
Jiang Ruonan sighed softly, wrote a letter by hand, and asked someone to send it to Mrs. Yu.
At night, Mrs. Yu's carriage came to the 'gate' on the side of the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Yu was led to the Rosin Courtyard with a few maids.
Jiang Ruonan wrote in the letter that Mrs. Yu came over at night to talk about it, and discussed some things about Aunt Yu with her. After Mrs. Yu received Jiang Ruonan's letter, her heart was pounding, she was not sure what was going on, this kind of thing was not easy for the lord to come forward, and the 'daughter' was a concubine, and she would be inferior when she entered the Hou Mansion. I want to call my eldest brother to come over to help me support myself, but I don't know what's going on, from a long time ago, the eldest brother Wang Guang has avoided her, and he can't see anyone when he goes to the 'door'.
Entering the rosin courtyard, I saw Mrs. Tai in the right position, Jin Shaokang sat in the first place, and there was a beautiful and indifferent 'girl' sitting next to him, thinking that it should be Jiang Ruolan who took away everything from the 'daughter', Mrs. Yu couldn't help but look at her twice, and muttered in her heart, obviously not as beautiful as the 'daughter', why did the 'daughter' lose in her hands Jiang Ruolan also stood behind a beautiful and unusual 'girl', with a gentle and demure expression, Mrs. Yu secretly thought, this should be the singer given by the emperor.
Mrs. Yu stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai, Jin Shaokang and Jiang Ruonan, and Mrs. Tai had no good impression when she saw the surname Yu at this time, but in the end, it was the name of the 'door' who kept the ceremony, and she still reluctantly smiled and said hello to Mrs. Yu. Please sit down next to Mrs. Yu and ask the maid to serve tea.
After Mrs. Yu sat down, she asked, "I wonder what Mrs. Tai called me for?" ”
Mrs. Tai smiled faintly, "Mrs. Yu, since your 'daughter' came to my house, our Jin family has never treated her badly, and the food and clothing are not the best, but it will never be much worse than Mrs. Zhengfang, but your 'daughter' is really a moral loss, and our Jin family can no longer leave her in the house, so we specially invited Mrs. to witness this matter."
Mrs. Yu didn't expect Mrs. Tai's opening remarks to be such a terrifying thing, her face turned white, and she exclaimed: "Mrs. Tai's words, where did you start, who doesn't know that my 'daughter' is knowledgeable, dignified and virtuous, how can the word "virtue" be put on my 'daughter' Mrs. Tai is not mistaken."
Then he turned his head to look at Jin Shaokang, as if he was very distressed, and said, "Hou Ye, at the beginning, Qiu Yue did not hesitate to be a concubine because of her affection for Hou Ye, and now Hou Ye treats Qiu Yue like this?" How can you be worthy of Qiu Yue's affection for you? ”
Jin Shaokang raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Yu, after all, he was hindered by the identity of the other party's elder, so he didn't say anything. But the lady on the throne couldn't listen to Mrs. Yu say this about her son.
"Mrs. Yu, you may not know that your 'daughter' used 'fan' incense to instruct her maid to seduce Hou Ye so affectionately, it really moved me and, when it comes to the matter of being committed to being a concubine...... Mrs. Tai sneered, "At first, my Jin family intended to hire your 'daughter', but later things changed, but it was your 'daughter' who personally came to Hou Ye to cry and cry to be a concubine, now think about it, such behavior is also called knowledgeable and courteous, dignified and virtuous, it can be seen that the rumors cannot be believed."
Jiang Ruonan listened to it from the sidelines, and almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and now she knew that Mrs. Tai could also be so venomous
Mrs. Yu's face turned from white to red. After a while, he held back a sentence, "I don't know what my family Qiuyue did to make Mrs. Tai so angry, I think it's probably a misunderstanding......"
Mrs. Tai sneered, "Is it a misunderstanding, you can ask your baby 'girl' to know" said that Liu Yue will bring it up in Qiuyue.
After a while, two maids helped Yu Qiuyue in. Mrs. Tai remembered that she was pregnant, and it was inconvenient for her to kneel, so she asked the maid to move a stool for her to sit on.
Jiang Ruonan saw her for the first time after she came back, but she saw that her face was pale, her eyes were empty, her hair was messy, and the clothes on her body were also messy, which was not at all the 'fine' and gorgeous appearance in the past.
Mrs. Yu rushed over, hugged Yu Qiuyue, and cried, "My son, how did you become like this? Saying that, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Tai, "Mrs. Tai, what is in Qiuyue's belly is the flesh and bone of your Jin family, no matter what happens, you shouldn't make her uncomfortable at this time, what's the matter, can't you wait until you give birth to a child?" ”
Saying that, he cried and 'touched' Yu Qiuyue's belly, "My son, my belly is so big, and I can't get the love of my in-laws, oops, why are my feet swollen like this...... My miserable child...... "I sobbed and cried as he spoke.
Yu Qiuyue, who had been stunned, seemed to come back to her senses at this time, hugged Mrs. Yu and cried, "Mother, mother, you are finally here, mother, Master Hou wants to drive our mother and son out, mother, you have to make decisions for me."
Jiang Ruonan looked at her big belly, and then looked at the two swollen feet that were as big as bricks that were 'exposed' under her skirt, and couldn't help sighing, and suddenly felt a little pitiful in her heart, at this time, Jin Shaokang, who was beside her, said softly: "Don't be soft-hearted, she is not worthy of pity." ”
Mrs. Tai ignored them and gave Liu Yue a look, and after a while, Liu Yue came in with a red 'color' burden and threw it in front of Mrs. Tai, and as soon as the burden landed, it spread out, 'exposing' a hideous and terrible evil statue inside, and dozens of charms
Mrs. Yu's crying stopped suddenly, and her face turned pale.
Mrs. Tai said coldly: "Mrs. Yu, you can see clearly, this was found in your 'daughter's room, you say, will you tolerate the person who uses evil magic to stay in your house, if it is not for her to see that she is pregnant with our Jin family bones" For the sake of meat, I will definitely send her to the government, what will happen to her at that time, what will happen to your Yu family, you should know that now I didn't let you bring people back, but it gave you a lot of face in the Yu family, and we will call Qiuyue sick to the outside world, and we must isolate and recuperate, which can be regarded as a 'hand' generation for the emperor and everyone."
Mrs. Yu knew that this matter was serious and could not be easily admitted, so she hurriedly said: "Mrs. Tai, although these things were found in Qiuyue's room, they may not necessarily be Qiuyue's, maybe someone planted the blame?" Did Mrs. Tai find out with her own eyes? If not, then who found out. After speaking, he asked Yu Qiuyue again: "Qiuyue, you say, who wants to harm you?"
Yu Qiuyue was refreshed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, fortunately, she had not personally admitted that these things were hers in the past two days
"Mrs. Tai, you were angry that day, and you didn't ask me at all. These things really don't belong to Qiuyue, someone has planted the blame for Qiuyue's wrongdoing," he said and cried again.
At this time, Liu Hong, who was standing behind Qing Dai, suddenly spoke, "No one planted the blame, it was the slave maid who found out, and my aunt and I, as well as Aunt Yu's maid Yueling, saw these things roll out of the cabinet with our own eyes." With so many pairs of eyes, is there still a fake? "Liu Yue used to be a maid in Mrs. Tai's room, so she naturally dared to speak in front of Mrs. Tai.
Hearing Liu Hong mention Qing Dai, Yu Qiuyue's fire suddenly rose, she stood up, took two steps forward, and rushed in the direction of Qing Dai, she pointed at Qing Dai, her face was hideous, and she gritted her teeth, "It's you, it's you, it's you who hurt me" Yu Qiuyue yelled at Mrs. Tai, "Mrs. Tai, don't believe her, she is not a good person, she is very 'insidious', she hurt me, and Lizhu was also killed by her"
After waiting for so long, she finally waited for the plot that Jiang Ruonan had been looking forward to, she didn't know if there was a problem with Qing Dai, but today she must make everyone not trust her as much as before
