On this day, the Mid-Autumn Festival, King Yan hosted a banquet in the garden of the mansion for his subordinates Wen Wu to enjoy the moon and drink. Naturally, the Jia brothers went there. All the civil servants and staff at the banquet recited poems and lyrics, and they could not escape. Jia Huanyin was reminded by Princess Jian'an
, I wrote a poem to deal with the business issue early; Jia Cong changed a masterpiece by Mr. Yu Dafu, replacing "sick wine" with "light wine", "wasted garden" with "old garden", etc. The last sentence of the original work
"The sentence "Essence to the vicissitudes of life will lead to work" originally quoted a famous line from Qing Dynasty poet Zhao Yi. Jia Cong vaguely remembered that Mr. Zhao was a minister in the middle and late Qianlong reign. Even though he was born at this time, he was still young and did not write this sentence.
At that age, he boldly wrote it. As expected, everyone applauded, and Situ Pan was also very proud.
Princess Jian'an was attending a banquet with her female relatives. From Princess Yan to the ladies at the banquet, everyone secretly inquired about Jia Cong's marriage, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't talk about it, so she secretly suppressed her laughter. By chance, her sister Princess Lin'an was at the banquet.
, because she had not caught up with the big funeral of her husband's family and got married earlier than her, she came to find out why they were getting married. Only Jia Cong came back from the Jia family. Princess Jian'an then whispered: "Master Jia Lian is in office.
I can’t leave. Duke Rongguo is old and his bones can’t stand the torment.”
Princess Lin'an asked: "What about Jia Baoyu, the waiter of Shenying?"
Princess Jian'an said: "A person who travels to study can only come back with a letter. There is no place at home to send him a letter."
Princess Lin'an bit her lip and nodded, then whispered in a low voice: "Doesn't he like that Mr. Shi?"
Princess Jian'an suddenly frowned: "Where do these rumors come from? Sister, how can you and I spread such gossip? Do we still need the face of the Tian family?"
Princess Lin'an said aggrievedly: "What kind of dignity does the Tian family have? My sister has a serious brother to support her. My sister married alone in this shabby house, and she has to go to the feudal prince's palace to support her during the holidays..."
"Shut up!" Princess Jian'an shouted. After a pause, she looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her sisters. She whispered, "Since my sister knows that she doesn't even have serious brothers, she still dares to talk nonsense? She doesn't want to live a good life.
What?"
Princess Lin'an's eyes suddenly burst into tears and she murmured: "It's just that I finally saw my sister and said something in my heart."
Princess Jian'an shook her head and said: "How can you live with such thoughts! Your mansion is also a prince's mansion. Even if it is not as grand as it used to be, has there been any good life in the palace in the past few years?"
Princess Lin'an wiped away her tears and said with a wry smile: "The palace is really not as good as our house."
Princess Jian'an said: "Don't forget, all the supplies in the palace back then were given by this 'vassal king'. If the Marquis of Xiangyang is willing to marry you, it must be because of the face of this 'vassal king'. Furthermore, that
After all, the house is not like the palace, where you can't get out of the wall. You can always go out to a banquet to enjoy flowers, or to worship the monks, to show mercy to the poor and the elderly. Sister, you can't compare to me. I have brothers who I can rely on for life.
The only one left is my husband's family. Don't think about things that you have and don't have." After saying that, he raised his eyes and gave her a hard look.
Princess Lin'an couldn't help feeling cold all over her body, shivering, and no longer dared to talk nonsense. But she came today, and her husband, the Marquis of Xiangyang, told her to talk to Princess Jian'an more, and she was determined to cling to the Rongguo Mansion.
Line. She also heard that the country of Lu was rich and wanted to catch up with the king of Lu. Because her life was not going as she wanted, she put her thoughts on poetry and songs and fell in love with Jia Baoyu's poems. Today, she couldn't help it, and she couldn't care about the other people before her.
After asking him, I never thought that Princess Jian'an not only refused to give any information, but also blocked the road with the words "You are not as good as me as a brother", as if Prince Lu and her were not born from the same father, and secretly resented her in her heart.
It was already late for the three members of the Jia family to break up and go home. Jia Cong almost didn't want to wash his head and fell asleep after eating a few more glasses of wine, so Chen Ruijin carried him around and washed himself twice. Only then did Jia Huan and his wife enter the hospital.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lan had been waiting for a long time, so he kowtowed to the two of them: "Princess, third uncle!"
Jia Huan laughed and ordered him to get up: "It's already what time and you still haven't gone to bed."
Jia Lan lowered his head and said: "The second wife sent someone to question my mother and make her kneel to meditate..."
"Are you kidding?" Jia Huan frowned and said without even asking why, "Who is she? Let your mother get up immediately. The doctors and imperial doctors of Lixiangyuan have not gone back to celebrate the festival. Please go and have a look soon." Jia Huan said.
Lan didn't waste any words and just agreed and ran away. Princess Jian'an looked a little strange.
Jia Huan frowned for a while and ordered the boys outside the door: "Go and find out what happened. Why did you come out to cause trouble again? Didn't Sister Chen care about it?"
Princess Jian'an said: "Miss Chen has no identity, how can she be managed easily?"
Jia Huan said: "Even though she has no identity, she is capable on the one hand, and she knows what the situation is in the house and what we mean. Logically, she will take care of it." But after thinking about it, "I can't say that she has already taken care of it." Lan
The boy looked like that just now, as if he was here to make up for his reputation."
There was a maid next to the princess, called Lin'er, who stepped forward and saluted, "I know this."
Princess Jian'an said: "Tell me."
"This afternoon, Grandma Zhu suddenly had a woman tied up in the firewood shed. She called her Qin Xianjia. She was supposed to spend the night at the Nanjiao Gate. But she didn't tell the reason why she was tied up. They dispersed in the evening.
At the banquet, the second wife suddenly sent someone to scold Grandma Zhu, saying, "On such a good day when the moon is full, Third Master Huan has just married a princess, and the whole family is happy and harmonious. But she doesn't know that a mere mother-in-law is keeping watch at night."
What crime did you commit? Normally Second Grandma Subao leads a group of ladies and grandmothers to give away money and rice, so why does Grandma Zhu come here to vent her anger on others during the festival? Even if you don’t look at the faces of others, you have to look at the face of Second Aunt Grandma.
That’s it.'”
Jia Huanqi asked: "What does it have to do with the second sister?"
Lin'er said: "That mother-in-law is the aunt of the second aunt's grandmother who stayed with Pan Youan."
Jia Huan said: "Nonsense. There are many people in the mansion, but who can't get along with whom? The second sister has been married for so long, and the master has to worry about dealing with her relatives who live with her. What kind of chaos is this in the mansion?
?" Nai paused, "Just because of this?"
Lin'er pursed her lips and smiled: "What is the second aunt and grandma? It's just the second wife looking for an excuse. That old woman's daughter is Liuli's aunt in the second master's house."
"What?" Jia Huan looked puzzled and turned to look at his wife.
Princess Jian'an said: "I don't know what's going on now. I see that Sister-in-law Zhu is not someone who treats her servants harshly. There must be a reason why she tied up the old lady. It's not surprising that the second wife cares about my aunt. I can't say that the aunt is hers."
Where are the people?”
Jia Huan said: "Who else can she have? She has no power, no power and no money. Even if Liuli was her girl, she could be kicked off immediately when she enters the second uncle's room."
However, a girl came here just now. She was sent by Aunt Zhao, saying that she had something to ask Jia Huan to go to. Princess Jian'an quickly stood up and said: "I will go with the consort."
The girl winked at Jia Huan, and Jia Huan said, "I think my mother has something to say, don't go there late at night, just let me take a look." Princess Jian'an also saw it and nodded.
After waiting for a long time, Jia Huan came back with a smile and said it was no big deal. The two of them washed and rested. Jia Huan fell asleep with his head on the pillow after eating wine; Princess Jian'an was full of suspicion.
Now that the festival is over, Jia Huan's wedding leave is over anyway, and the next day she goes to the Escort Bureau, Horse Shop and other properties to inspect. Princess Jian'an felt restless, sitting in front of the case and turning over a book. Mother Zhu stepped forward and said "Princess, I heard that there is a big girl next to Aunt Zhao. She is the daughter of the kitchen steward Liu's family. She is called Wu'er. She looks very elegant..."
Princess Jian'an frowned, closed her book, sat down for a while and said, "I'm going to Lixiangyuan for a walk."
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said: "Miss Chen seemed to want to join forces with the princess last time..."
"That's all." Princess Jian'an said, "Miss Chen is not from the inner house." She rolled up her sleeves and went out.
When he arrived at Lixiangyuan, Chen Ruijin had just finished practicing boxing and was sitting for a while. When he saw her coming in, he hurriedly greeted her. Seeing that her face was not well, he asked curiously: "What's wrong?" Princess Jian'an didn't know where to start and stood in a daze. Chen Ruijin thought for a while and asked, "Is this the matter with the old lady yesterday? Why did you bother her? Yesterday, during the festival, Grandma Zhu was inconvenient to let her go immediately, so she sent her out early this morning."
Princess Jian'an was startled: "What does that mother-in-law have to do with me?"
Chen Ruijin looked her over a few times: "Brother Huan didn't tell you?" He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he is embarrassed to say it. Just ask him when he comes back."
Princess Jian'an said hurriedly: "I feel a little uneasy. Miss Chen, why don't you tell me earlier, so that I can feel better."
Chen Ruijin thought for a while: "That's fine."
Last night, Li Wan asked Mrs. Wang to kneel down as a punishment. Li Wan was not an idiot at all. He knew that Miss Chen in this mansion was very capable, so he secretly sent someone to Lixiangyuan to report the news. Chen Ruijin was puzzled. In recent years, Mrs. Wang's daily life has been controlled by Li. How could a Wan have done this? So he went over to take a look. Seeing that she was still kneeling, he quickly sent his servants out and pulled her up and said, "Why is Grandma so honest!"
Li Wan smiled bitterly: "She is my mother-in-law, and she always behaves the way she wants."
Chen Ruijin said: "It's very unnecessary." He rubbed his knees with her and asked what was going on. Aunt Zhao asked Li Wan to clean up Qin Xian's house. She only said that she must find a way to get rid of it, but she didn't say anything. reason.
Chen Ruijin then went to ask Aunt Zhao again. Aunt Zhao hummed: "That woman talks nice and flatters me every day, but I still think she is some kind of good thing. Who would have thought that this afternoon, that scumbag prostitute actually instigated me to do it?" Princess, take it easy! Why are you so worried? Am I not stupid? That is the emperor’s girl! If I, Huan’er, get her, there will be smoke rising from the ancestral graves in Rongguo Mansion!”
Happy Chen Ruijin raised her thumbs and said, "Great aunt! Who said aunt is confused? The more important the matter, the more open it is."
Aunt Zhao twisted her lips and said: "Because she knows how to seduce the master, and she wants to flirt with me! My old man's legs are up and his face is higher than her head!"
Chen Ruijin smiled and flattered her for a while, then got up and went to Mrs. Wang's courtyard to inquire. Mrs. Wang's eldest girl told her: "Our wife is too lazy to care about those trivial matters. It was the master who sent me here."
Chen Ruijin understood in his heart. This must be the intention of the Qin Xian family to get their daughter Liuli, so he first went to Aunt Zhao to flatter her. Her daughter was usually an aunt, so she had to be pampered, but she came to flatter Aunt Zhao. ; Aunt Zhao must be willing to listen. If you treat Aunt Zhao well, and then encourage her to look for Princess Jian'an, it will make Jia Huan, the biological mother, unworthy of the stage. Who would have thought that Aunt Zhao would be a loser? Why did she dare to show her face to the princess? Instead, she asked Li Wan to drive out the Qin Xian family. Li Wan naturally knew who was more important between her and Liuli. Liuli was anxious and didn't know what was going on with Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng ordered Mrs. Wang to She came forward to punish Li Wan and vent her anger on Liuli. How could Mrs. Wang let go of the opportunity to punish Li Wan blatantly?
Then he went back to Li Wan's house to discuss with her: "Should Aunt Qin be left in charge of Princess Jian'an or Grandma?"
Li Wan thought for a while and said: "She is just a servant. There is no reason for a princess to take care of her servants herself."
Chen Ruijin nodded: "It's just that we have to tell Mr. Huan about this. Otherwise, we can't let grandma stop kneeling for no reason, right?" Li Wan smiled clearly. Then he took a book and read it in the room.
She sent her son to Jia Huan Courtyard to wait for the couple to come back.
After hearing this, Princess Jian'an understood clearly: Even Chen Ruijin could pull Li Wan up and sit down after Jia Zheng ordered Mrs. Wang to punish him. The old couple were really just empty airs in this mansion and had no status at all. She was glad that Zhao
My aunt was actually a sensible person inside, and she was angry at Jia Huan for not telling her clearly last night, which made her depressed most of the night.
When they returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Zhu stretched her ears from afar and heard that their princess was back. She hurried out to greet her and asked with concern: "How is it?"
Princess Jian'an said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Even if he owes Li Wan a favor, it's Jia Huan's turn to pay it back, and it has nothing to do with this palace.
Mrs. Zhu was anxious: "Princess, please don't underestimate her. That servant Wu'er just asked about her again. She is a big-hearted person. She has been trying to get hold of men since she was young. She once hung out in front of Mr. Bao in the early years."
Princess Jian'an leisurely picked up the book she hadn't read just now and opened it, saying: "What family doesn't have a few upright girls? If my husband-in-law had that kind of intention, he wouldn't have told me at all when he got married.
Those words. Don’t mention such gossip again in the future.”
Zhu was stumped: "Princess..."
Princess Jian'an sighed softly, put down the book and said softly: "I know it well. You have been working hard for many years, so it would be nice to live in peace and happiness." Zhu was anxious in her heart, so she had no choice but to agree. Princess Jian'an said in surprise, "You
What's wrong with you? Are you always thinking about these things?"
Mrs. Zhu let out a long sigh, knelt down and said, "Princess, this mansion is not simple. The princess always doesn't take it to heart, and I'm so anxious that I can't even sleep."
Princess Jian'an wondered: "This mansion is extremely simple, much simpler than ordinary people's homes. How can you tell that it's not simple?"
Zhu said: "The eldest master and eldest wife are not in the house, and the second wife is sick and takes the spotlight..."
Princess Jian'an raised her hand: "I understand." She sighed, "You just can't live with the word 'name'. Miss Chen made it clear that day, only a false name is not enough in this mansion.
.”
Zhu said anxiously: "But the princess only took the title of 'princess'..." She immediately covered her mouth and kowtowed to apologize.
Princess Jian'an shook her head: "Who told you that I only have the title of princess? The Rongguo Mansion has been supported by the consort these years. Even if I don't have the title of princess, I am still the most eloquent person in this mansion.
Women. Furthermore, if Grandma Zhu, Second Grandma Lian, and Second Grandma Bao are included, as well as Miss Chen who has not yet entered the house, whose natal family has my natal brother in charge? There is no female family member in this house who has the ability to do so.
Straightforward."
Mrs. Zhu burst into tears: "But the second wife's natal brother is the King of Guangdong and Guangxi!"
Princess Jian'an picked up the tea cup, took a sip, put it down and said, "It doesn't matter what use she has if she has a brother. Lin'an still expects my brother to help her, can I take care of her?" Zhu was startled.
Princess Jian'an looked at her and said, "Is this what my mother and concubine asked you to tell me?" Mrs. Zhu nodded. Princess Jian'an thought for a moment and said, "I can't find a day to go back to Luzhou."
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly shouted: "You can't do it! There's no reason to go back to your parents' home just after you get married! Princess, listen to my slave, you absolutely can't do it!"
Coincidentally, Jia Huan entered the room at this moment. He only heard the last sentence and asked casually: "What can't be done?"
Princess Jian'an raised her head and said, "The prince-in-law has come just in time. I want to go back to Luzhou."
"What a coincidence!" Jia Huan clapped his hands and said, "I was just about to discuss this matter with you. After getting married, wouldn't the bride have to go back to her parents' home to live opposite her? While Cong'er is working in the capital, we'll get married in a few days.
Sneak back! There won't be this store after passing this village."
Jian'an smiled brightly: "Okay!" Zhu kneeled on the ground and was stunned. (. Just Love Network)
