Chapter 208 Drunken Red Mansion
The news of Yuanchun's concubine made the masters of Jiafu fall into jubilation.
Especially Mrs. Wang, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
This moment has become the focus of everyone, and he is smiling and accepting everyone's congratulations.
Lin Daiyu walked to Jia Cong's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother Cong, did you already know?" โ
This girl is very smart, and from the conversation between herself and Jia Mu, she probably has guessed it.
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Well, I knew it when I entered the palace last time, at that time, His Majesty had not canonized the eldest sister, and it was not easy to make the city full of storms, so I didn't make a noise, and only mentioned it to the old lady." โ
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "The eldest sister has finally come out, I'm really happy for her." โ
Jia Cong smiled and didn't speak.
The eldest sister Yuanchun was a concubine, which was an honor for the Jia family, and she was barely a relative of the emperor.
It's just that for Yuan Chun herself, she doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?
Remembering Yuan Chun's judgment, a bow was drawn on it, and a citron was hung on the bow.
There is also a lyric cloud:
For 20 years, the pomegranate blossoms have been shining in the palace.
Three springs compete for the early spring scene, and the tigers meet each other and return to the big dream.
In the original book "Dream of Red Mansions", Yuan Chun died violently, probably because he was on the wrong side and was given to die.
Yuan Chun died violently in the palace, and Wang Ziteng also died violently on the way back to Beijing, and then the Jia family was also raided, and finally went into decline.
Judging from the time of the death of the two, it should be that Wang Ziteng chose the wrong camp, and bewitched Mrs. Wang to persuade Yuan Chun to let Yuan Chun choose to stand on Wang Ziteng's side.
One is her own mother, and the other is her own uncle, so she was convinced, and maybe she also had her own plans.
At that time, the Jia family had no power, no one wanted anyone, and in fact, they were not qualified for the team.
Like Jia Zhen, at best, he is an errand runner, and even if he chooses the right camp, he will not do him much benefit.
Wang Ziteng is different, he has a lot of power, a high position, and this person is quite ambitious, he wants to get a knighthood, and he is likely to be co-opted.
Therefore, Yuan Chun's death is likely to be because of Wang Ziteng, who stood on the wrong team.
Regardless of this, it is probably not a good thing for a woman in her twenties to marry an old man in her forties, and there are countless women around this man.
There is glory, but married life is not necessarily happy.
I used to be too young to be able to get her out, but now I have the ability, but it's too late, I can only hope that she can have a good result.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself for a while.
Just thinking about it, even Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang may not agree to get her out by themselves.
From Yuan Chun's words when she went home to save her relatives, she said that the palace she was in was a place where no one could go, and it was not difficult to see that her life in the palace was not satisfactory.
If the palace is compared to the Rong Mansion, Yuan Chun's status is that of an unfavored aunt, and even Aunt Zhao can't be compared.
Although Aunt Zhao was not in tune, she was deeply favored by Jia Zheng and gave birth to Tanchun and Jia Huan for him.
Sometimes I wonder if this Aunt Zhao is wise and stupid, all of this is because she is deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid? Showing weakness in front of Mrs. Wang?
In the original book, no matter what Aunt Zhao did, she was all safe and sound in the end, which has to be surprising.
bought Ma Daopo, cursed Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu that time, and didn't do anything to her.
In this era, most of the daughters of these wealthy families and big families are tools for marriage.
Like Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang is like this, and even Jia's mother is.
His own rise may make Yuan Chun's life better, in a place like the palace, he can't help even if he wants to.
As long as she doesn't die in the palace and stands in line, as long as she is there, no one can touch her.
It seems that he wants to try to remind her, so as not to really follow the Wang family's chaotic team and embark on her own old path.
I felt like someone was pulling me and turned my head to look.
I saw Daiyu staring at herself with two big eyes.
"Brother Cong, what were you thinking just now? It seems to be very fascinating. โ
Jia Cong smiled: "Of course I miss my sister Lin, I was thinking about taking your hand into the cave room, but I was interrupted by you, you want to accompany me." โ
"Phew, shameless."
Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Cong fiercely, this person is really bad, he dares to talk nonsense when guarding so many people.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, it's too much to use this to perfunctory, hum, I won't pay attention to you anymore."
Jia Cong saw that she was a little angry, and hurriedly made amends.
"Okay, don't be angry, just kidding, I was thinking about the big sister just now, the second master has entered the palace, and it is estimated that the news will come soon, the old lady and the second lady are also going to enter the palace to thank you.
I was wondering if I should remind them to prepare early. โ
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she thought for a while and said, "Let's remind them, if they enter the palace, they will have to put on a lot of makeup, and it will take some time to dress up, so let them prepare early." โ
Jia Cong said: "Well, just listen to Sister Lin, remind the old lady of them, so that they don't get in a hurry." โ
Looking up, I saw that Mother Jia was talking to Aunt Xue with a smile.
He immediately spoke: "Old lady, the news will come back in a while, and you will also enter the palace to thank you, do you think you are preparing in advance?" โ
When my mother heard this, she smiled and said: "Fortunately, your child reminded us, and we were so happy that we forgot about it. โ
Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and You Shi agreed and took the maid back to dress up.
Mrs. Xing is a first-grade fate, You is a third-grade fate, and Mrs. Wang is a fifth-grade fate, all of which are men who follow their own.
However, now that Yuan Chun has become a concubine, as Yuan Chun's mother, she can also follow her daughter's grade, and Mrs. Wang's destiny grade will also rise.
When she comes back from the palace this time, it is estimated that Mrs. Wang's grade will also become a first-class fate.
These women are still very happy, and it is an honor to be able to go to the palace in this life.
An hour later, Lin Zhixiao rushed back to report the news.
"Old lady, our eldest aunt and grandmother have been named virtuous concubines, and the second master instructed, please take the old lady and bring the wives into the palace to thank you."
When Jia Mu heard Lin Zhixiao's words, she completely relieved her heart.
"Okay, okay, what about your lord?"
Lin Zhixiao said: "Back to the old lady, after the second master ordered us, he went to the East Palace." โ
Jia Mu nodded, glanced at Mrs. Wang and the others, and said, "Let's go, let's also enter the palace to thank you." โ
The four of them took four large sedan chairs, left the Rongguo Mansion, and went straight to the palace.
Jia Yu took Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, and served his mother.
Jia Cong didn't follow, as soon as he had a position, he would be considered lazy and absent from work when he came out now, and then waited in front of the palace gate, which would be a bit blatant.
Besides, Jia Yu and the others also escorted Jia Mu and the others over, so they could only wait outside the palace, and there was no need for them to go at all.
However, Jia Cong did not leave, accompanied Lin Daiyu and other little sisters, talked and chatted together, and waited for the old lady to come back by the way.
It wasn't until nightfall that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang and others each received their rewards and came back.
And Jia Zheng was even more because Yuanchun was made the imperial concubine, and was promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry by Emperor Longqing, and now he is also an official of Zhengsipin.
The people of Ning Rong's second mansion were all happy and happy.
Yuanchun sealed the concubine, that is the glory of the Jia family, so that the Jia family has become a relative of the emperor, the Jia family has come to this point, the prestige is even better, it is really a brocade of flowers, and the fire is cooking oil.
Now that Ning Guofu is under his own control, he has cleaned up all the people and others, and there will be no problems.
The only thing that worries Jia Cong is the side of Rongguo Mansion.
This is also the main reason why Jia Cong asked Yueya to recruit a group of people in the two mansions to find out the news.
Jia Lian's biggest problem is that he is greedy for flowers and lustful, and there is no big problem with the rest, and now his main energy is on business, which can be ruled out.
After Wang Xifeng had money, at Jia Cong's request, she also stopped putting money in Yinzi, and she didn't have a big problem here.
Jia Yu is not short of money now, he has seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver every year, and he has not been found to have done anything over the years, and the crime in the original book is to make friends with foreign officials.
hooked up with the festival envoys of Ping'an Prefecture, and I don't know what kind of fame they are doing.
He has to take some precautions here, take the time to ask Tiezhu to send someone to investigate, if he really has collusion with the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture, then give him a salary from the bottom of the kettle.
Let the festival envoy of Ping'an Prefecture disappear directly, so that he can't even find anyone, and there should be no problem.
The rest is the second room, Jia Zheng's temperament will not do anything out of the ordinary, the only thing that needs to be guarded against is Mrs. Wang.
This woman is like the favorite brother of the later generations, everything is centered on her Wang family, which is really a little incomprehensible.
If Wang Ziteng makes any moves, she will probably rush to the front line again, using the connections of the Jia family to rush for Wang Ziteng.
Now that her daughter has become the imperial concubine again, Mrs. Wang is probably more confident.
Even, for the sake of the Wang family's affairs, she hit Yuan Chun's head with the idea, this woman can really do it.
This matter is really not easy to do, and I can only hope for where Yuanchun is.
I hope she can have her own opinions, and don't be fooled by Mrs. Wang and become a victim of the Wang family.

Shenjing City, drunk red mansion.
In Shenjing City, the Drunken Red House is a very famous brothel of the Qinglou.
At this time, in a private room inside, there was laughter.
Jia Cong, Liu Xianglian, and Xue Pan were sitting around the table, laughing at something.
Beside them, each sat a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Qingqi man.
This time, Jia Cong was the east, feasted Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian, made peace with the two of them, and solved the misunderstanding between them.
Originally, I wanted to invite them to Mingyue Tower, but Xue Pan, this guy, had to come to the drunken Red Mansion, saying that there were a few new Qing people here, and he wanted to bring Jia Cong to see and understand.
This guy, if Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai knew about it, they would probably scold him to death.
Take your prospective brother-in-law to the Qinglou, and there is no one left.
After a little muttering, Jia Cong agreed, after all, Xue Pan was a bitter master this time, and he suffered a lot of losses, so let's meet his wishes.
To be honest, this is the first time Jia Cong has come to Qinglou.
Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian are both frequent visitors, and after they came, they directly ordered three Qingqi people.
After the three of them sat down, the three Qingqi people sat next to the three of them and helped pour wine and food.
Jia Cong said straight to the point: "Brother Xue, Brother Liu, everyone is not an outsider, and that little misunderstanding between you is not a big deal. โ
Xue Pan said: "Since Brother Cong said it, then forget about this matter, I said Brother Liu, you are also ruthless this time, let my brother and I lie down for several days, this time it is really a shame."
Although my Lao Xue is a little confused, but he never does anything that is forced, this kind of thing is what you and I want, if you don't want to say it directly, I naturally won't force it, why bother with me? โ
Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "Brother Xue, it's all mine this time, I happened to be in a bad mood at the time, and I ran into you to entangle, and my brain was impulsive, and my brother made a mistake here, and I asked Brother Xue to forgive me a lot." โ
Xue Pan said: "Since the Cong brothers have come forward, this matter will naturally be written off, and we will still be good brothers in the future, but you have to punish three glasses of wine." โ
This matter can be resolved satisfactorily, Liu Xianglian naturally will not refuse, three glasses of wine is just a trivial matter.
"No problem, three cups is three cups, brother, I'll drink it."
After that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank three glasses in a row.
Xue Pan also smiled when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Okay, happy, Brother Cong, come and have a drink with us, this time you broke the bank, next time my brother has a treat." โ
Jia Cong saw that the two were reconciled, and the purpose of the trip had been achieved, and he was also relaxed.
Picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's just a host, it's not that my brother can't afford to invite him, I've been outside for so many years, and when I came back this time, I had long wanted to invite everyone to come out and sit together, but I haven't been empty." โ
The three of them had a drink together, and then the atmosphere became harmonious
Liu Xianglian said: "Brother Cong, you are really amazing, in just a few years, you have achieved such a great achievement, you really can't think of it, it is enviable, my brother is compared with you, it is really in vain to live for so many years." โ
Jia Cong said: "Brother Liu is serious, everyone's pursuit is different, I am different from you, with my previous identity, if I don't work hard, I will have nothing in adulthood."
Since he was a child, he was determined to make a career and lay a family business for himself, but fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after so many years of hard work, he finally had some achievements. โ
Liu Xianglian said: "Brother Cong is too modest, among our younger generation, no one can surpass your achievements." โ
Xue Pan said with a smile: "Brother Cong's ability, my brother also admires it very much, he can not only fight but also make money, it's really amazing, but this Qinglou Cong brother is still the first time to come, right?" โ
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, let the two elder brothers laugh, the younger brother has been busy since he was a child, this kind of place is really the first time to visit." โ
Xue Pan laughed and said: "I know that you have been either busy training or doing business since you were a child, and I heard that you are determined not to find a woman before the age of sixteen, how could you come to this kind of place." โ
Liu Xianglian said with some surprise: "No, Brother Cong, you are also a wealthy son, you haven't visited the Qinglou?" It's incredible. โ
Jia Cong said a little embarrassedly: "See you laugh, see you smile." โ
Xue Panle said happily: "It's okay, my brother will bring you a few more times in the future, will you be cooked twice." Three girls, what are your skills, quickly show them and let this master see and understand, this is the real God of Wealth. โ
