Chapter 38: The Holy Lady
The Zhen family is located at the foot of the Purple Mountain outside the city of Jinling, when the capital was still in Jinling, the Holy Ancestor in order to take care of Mrs. Fengsheng, specially descended Longen, surrounded the entire Xuanwu Lake, with the Purple Mountain as the wall, with the Xuanwu Lake as the pool, built the Zhen Garden today.
It is rumored that the Holy Ancestor Emperor and Mrs. Fengsheng have a personal relationship. It's just that in order to take care of Emperor Taizu's face, he didn't include Mrs. Fengsheng in the harem.
After all, in order to reject Taizu, Mrs. Fengsheng said that she would not want to enter the palace again in this life.
Even, some peach-colored legends have noses and eyes, saying that the eldest son of Mrs. Fengsheng, Zhen Yingjia's father, and the milk brother Zhen Mu, who grew up like the emperor, is actually the son of the Holy Ancestor.
Of course, Jia Lian didn't believe these things, and he didn't dare to believe them. In Jia Lian's opinion. Madame Bongsheng may have been very powerful when she was young, but now she should be a confused old lady.
Otherwise, I won't watch my children and grandchildren become more capable than the other. Is it possible to hate his children and grandchildren for not dying fast enough.
But no matter what, standing at the gate of Zhen Garden, looking at the magnificent private garden, I can't help but be a little speechless.
"Brother Lian, come from afar, for your brother's disappointment, forgive your sins."
Jia Lian waited for nothing, and a young man in his twenties who was handsome and beautiful greeted him from Zhen Yuan.
Looking at this young man who is dressed in the best Su Jin and looks like jade. Jia Lian's eyes narrowed slightly.
The one in front of him should be the great-grandson of Mrs. Fengsheng, the eldest son of the contemporary head of the family Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Yu.
Although he looks like a turbid prince who is "a stranger is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world", Jia Lian knows that this guy is just a waste of gold and jade.
Mrs. Fengsheng has reached the pinnacle of women in her life, but she has no heirs.
The only son, Zhen Mu, died early, leaving behind a son and two daughters, and the son was Zhen Yingjia. And the two daughters, one married into the Nan'an County Palace, and the other married the Zhu family, the second in Jingning Xungui. Now it is the contemporary Mrs. Chengguo.
In Zhen Yingjia's generation, his son got two, the eldest son Zhen Yu and the second son Zhen Baoyu. The daughter got four. He is not very old and has not yet married.
This Zhen Baoyu, because of his similarity to Jia Baoyu, is very famous in the original work, needless to say. As for this Zhen Yu, the scheming methods are not bad, but the pattern is too small. It can't be a big deal.
What the Zhen family needs now is a strong man with a broken wrist. As soon as possible, I walked down from the position of the first place in Jiangnan. Make a statement of sincerity to Emperor Longzheng, instead of living in the illusion of the past.
But all this has nothing to do with Jia Lian, all he needs is to use the Zhen family's momentum to complete the emperor's mandate and his own layout this time.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Zhen Yu, Jia Lian immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Yu, what are you talking about. Entangled in mundane affairs, I couldn't come to the old lady to say goodbye for the first time, it's already mine.
No, my old lady ordered me to bring her a gift for the old lady. ”
Zhen Yu carries the name of the first son of Jiangnan, and naturally does things well on the surface. Immediately smiled and let the guest in.
As soon as he entered the door, Jia Lian was taken aback by the luxury of the Zhen family.
It is said that the Jia family's super national prince is already the top in the world. Not to mention that in order to reward the honors of two generations of Rongguo Gong, the Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing was built according to the county kings and specifications.
But as soon as she entered Zhen Garden, Jia Lian still felt that she seemed to have become Grandma Liu who visited the Grand View Garden.
First of all, it is large, Zhenyuan is more than ten miles in radius, and it is completely a small city. Accommodate the entire Xuanwu Lake. From the main gate of Zhenyuan to Xuanrui Hall, the residence of Mrs. Fengsheng, you still need to take a sedan chair.
Looking at the four palanquin drivers waiting at the door, the corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched.
got on the sedan chair, Jia Lian lifted the curtain and looked out. I saw the strange stones of Taihu Lake and the Nanmu of Sichuan along the way...... Treasures are available. Jia Lian even saw a zoo where she could even see two giant pandas playing.
It's a luxury.
When she came to Xuanrui Hall, she saw the little girl who lifted the curtain at the door, Jia Lian was stunned again, and even this little girl was wearing Shu brocade that only a first-class girl could wear in Jiafu.
"Brother Lian, please come in."
"Oh, okay." Jia Lian nodded hurriedly and hurriedly walked into Xuanrui Hall.
"After the end of school, Rongguo Jia Lian visited Mrs. Tai." As soon as Jia Lian saw him sitting on the soft couch in the main hall, he bowed down.
Jia Lian is reluctant to kneel to others. But once I crossed over to this era, I had to follow the local customs. And in the face of a centenarian, there is nothing to kneel on.
Although Mrs. Fengsheng looks very old, she is still healthy and energetic. Especially when he speaks, he is full of energy, not like a centenarian at all.
"Hehe, Lian boy, hello, my wife's eyes are not very good, you come closer, let me take a closer look."
Jia Lian quickly stood up, then ran to the soft couch and knelt down again.
Jia Lian's series of actions amused Mrs. Fengsheng, and also amused everyone in this Xuanrui Hall, which was also given by the Holy Ancestor.
An old woman who looked to be in her late sixties sat next to Madame Bongsheng, and it seemed that it should be the widow of Madame Bongsheng's late eldest son, Zhen Mu.
I saw that she wanted to smile and said, "Good brother, get up quickly." You just have to take a few steps forward. The old ancestor's eyes are good. ”
Only then did Jia Lian understand that it was Meng Lang himself. In fact, he didn't know this, and the original owner naturally had these things in his memory. It's just that since the crossing, Jia Lian's thinking has always been dominant, so I didn't think about it for a while?
But you can only be wrong.
"When I was young, I was playful, I didn't read much, I didn't know etiquette, and I ask Mrs. Tai to forgive me."
Naturally, Madame Bongsheng would not take these things to heart.
When she was a child, she was the most favored princess in the former court. The country was broken in the previous dynasty, and Sizong killed the concubine, the prince, and the princess, but he was not willing to attack her.
Later, it was obtained by Taizu, and Taizu liked his cleverness, regardless of the dissuasion of the ministers, and took it by his side to listen to it.
Speaking of which, Taizu's Shunde era name also comes from Mrs. Fengsheng.
When Taizu succeeded to the throne, he still used the year name of Sizong Tianqi, and he originally planned to change the year name after completely pacifying the world and expelling the Tartars.
At that time, Taizu said that it had been nearly 20 years since the founding of the emperor, and it had been almost ten years since the capital of Jinling.
The words of Mrs. Fengsheng were recorded in the Taizu Benji. Jia Lian also watched it
"The man who is apocalyptic, according to the intention of the gods, used this era name in the previous dynasty, but did not receive the gift of heaven. Today, the Jurchen is rampant, and the thieves steal their lives. His Majesty inherited the destiny of heaven, and Shuntian should be virtuous, and the name of the year should be changed to the correct name.
Taizu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he changed the name of the year to Shunde. ”
In other words, if it weren't for Mrs. Fengsheng, the dignified Zheng Taizu, the founding emperor, he wouldn't even be able to leave the year name.
After all, Taizu is the middle way collapse.
