It is said that Jia Cong now has a large group of brothers in Lixiangyuan, and he immediately became busy. In addition to going to Su Zheng's house to study at midnight every day or going to the mansion in the south of the city to practice martial arts, he also had to teach these guys math and English when he came back. Everyone was busy Not understanding why they wanted to learn foreign language, Jia Cong said with a smile: "Because... most others can't. In the future, we will inevitably have to have our own people speak so that others can't understand." Some people understood and some didn't. I understand, but those who don’t understand have to bite the bullet and learn. Jia Cong also talks about a lot of past life knowledge, which is available in various subjects. This group of people are young people, and they accept new things very quickly, so this is not a big problem. On the contrary, I admired him more and more.
Just a few days after Pian'an's birthday, Jia She suddenly sent someone over to tell him: "A few days ago, someone came to the old lady's house to tell the truth, saying that they heard her and the second family's plot to get the eldest girl out of the palace."
Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? What's dad's order?"
The boy said: "The master told you to deal with it."
Jia Cong's face was full of surprise: "Me? How should I deal with it?"
The boy said, "I won't mention it anymore. The third master wants to go on his own." Then he resigned with a smile.
Jia Cong suddenly felt a headache. This old man was becoming more and more unreliable. Fortunately, Gong Kun was here at this moment, so he hurriedly turned back to discuss with him.
Gong Kun spread his hands: "I know the goings-on in the market and the advance and retreat of the military camp. I don't understand the women in the Duke and Emperor's family."
The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "Even you don't know, let alone brother Yao'er and sister Lin. I'll ask Brother Feng."
Gong Kun said: "It works."
Jia Cong then led Lan Xiang Ziguang to Feng's house.
He didn't go to look for Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying was also planning to look for him in two days. There had been some news in their family recently and they needed to pay attention to it. So she looked at him with a smile and said: "Didn't you say you have been very busy recently? Why are you suddenly free? Already."
Jia Cong said with a sad face: "I have only lived a good life for a few days, but I am afraid I will be in trouble again." Because he said, "A few days ago, my father asked me to take advantage of the Xue family's move to occupy their yard."
Feng Ziying was stunned: "Forcibly occupy their yard?"
Jia Cong then said, "Xue Pan moved to Wang's house to be disciplined by his uncle, and Mrs. Wang wanted to leave the yard for Baoyu to get married." He said proudly: "The whole family went to see them off outside Yimen. My father ordered me to take advantage of that." Everyone is rushing to move in, but no one can say anything and they won’t move out! Lixiangyuan has a door leading to the outside, and food and supplies can be brought in from outside."
Feng Ziying couldn't laugh or cry, and after a long while she said: "Why is your father so angry with a child?"
Jia Cong said: "Anyway, I can benefit from it, just be a kid."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but shake her head and asked again: "You just said there was trouble, what trouble."
Jia Cong lamented and asked: "I don't dare to ask Mr. Su about this matter. Besides, he doesn't know whether the old master can save all his money. So I can only ask you. Brother Feng, according to common sense, what method can be used to seize the palace?" How can I get the female officer inside out? Can I make trouble so that they can't get it out?"
Feng Ziying was shocked: "What nonsense are you talking about? The palace is heavily guarded, and you are fooling around again."
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "That's it, how can it be that easy? Brother Feng, let me tell you, someone overheard the second aunt talking about trying to get the eldest sister out of the palace, and then reported it to my father. I happened to hear it Already."
Feng Ziying was shocked and amazed. What surprised her was that Mrs. Wang dared to take advantage of the palace. She was surprised that the two houses of the Jia family were fighting so fiercely that they even used "snitches".
Jia Cong said: "I can occupy the courtyard now only because the old lady is reluctant to let Brother Baoyu move out now. If the eldest sister leaves the palace, I will probably have to move back to the original small house in despair and give it to her.
It's time to make room. As the ancients said, it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality. I have lived in the big courtyard for a few days, and I don't want to move back."
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "How can outsiders have the final say on matters in the palace? I'm afraid she is just daydreaming."
Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Really! Wow, that's great. Just waiting for your words, I can occupy this courtyard until brother Baoyu gets married!"
Feng Ziying didn't know that her identity had been touched by this kid. She thought he believed her casual words, so she couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.
The two of them hung out for another half a day, and Jia Cong returned home with peace of mind to inform his father, but Feng Ziying reported the matter without mentioning it.
Recently, Jia's mother suddenly became interested. She went around visiting relatives and friends, and had frequent interactions with old ladies and ancestors from various households. Jia She knew clearly that she was up to something evil, so he couldn't find an excuse not to let her go, so he had to tell people to have a good life.
Staring, he turned around and went out to the escort office to look for Gong Sanyi.
Gong Sanyi was very busy at the moment, because he had already identified several places where he wanted to build a stronghold, and he was discussing with Jia Si and others day and night. Hearing that Jia's mother might want to leave the palace in the spring of the first year, she would visit her relatives all day long, shaking her head.
: "I'm afraid that the old lady wants to find someone to propose marriage to the palace on behalf of the eldest girl. If the four princes and eight princes get married again, the saint will not be able to bear it."
Jia She said angrily: "A woman's eyesight is so cold that she won't stop until she arouses the suspicion of the saint! Mr. Gong, how do you think we can stop her?"
Gong Sanyi thought for a while: "Unless she can do any good, she won't marry her. Enhou, your eldest niece, what kind of son-in-law do you want her to be?"
Jia She said: "What's the matter? Anyway, don't involve me."
Gong San also said: "What if the marriage is not good?"
Jia She said: "As long as you don't kill the person, don't worry about the others."
Gong San also nodded.
Two days later, Mrs. Dingchenghou took several of her daughters-in-law and grandsons-in-law to Zhenwu'an to offer incense. Their third grandma occasionally heard a sister-in-law say, "Don't let anyone know..." This grandma was the best at hearing.
The elder took a quick look and saw that she happened to recognize the sister-in-law who responded. After her master left, she quietly pulled the sister-in-law to ask what happened.
The sister-in-law told her: "The old lady of Rongguo Mansion is plotting for their eldest daughter to leave the palace, and their second wife is here to burn incense and light lamps to relieve the trouble."
The third grandmother hurriedly asked: "Eliminate the difficulties? What difficulties should we eliminate?"
The sister-in-law then whispered: "This eldest girl had her fortune told in her early years. She has a very hard destiny and is the most likely to cause trouble. The second wife was afraid that her daughter would not be able to get married one day, so she did not dare to tell anyone, so she sent her to the palace.
I hope I can rely on the dragon's energy to smooth away some of the bad luck in her life. But they, the old ladies, don't know it at all. They pity their granddaughter for being too old and are trying to find her out. The second wife is afraid that her daughter's bad luck is not yet there.
After selling all the money, I took it back to my parents’ home. She secretly came to our nunnery to burn incense, light lamps and donate money. Grandma, please don’t tell anyone!”
The third grandma said hurriedly: "Of course I won't tell anyone." She then told her hypocritically, "This is a family matter, so don't tell anyone again!"
The sister-in-law said yes repeatedly.
How can this third grandma keep her mouth shut? Whenever she gets a chance to talk to others, she will whisper it. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, most of her close friends are as long-tongued as she is, and they add insult to injury by saying, "In recent years, saints seem to have also
My life was not very smooth, I think she was the one who caused it." Soon all the ladies and grandmothers in half of the capital who loved to listen to gossip knew about it. Only Nan'an Prince's Palace, because Huo Xuan also suffered from a rumor, still has people from time to time.
Take it out and chew on the roots of your tongue. The concubines and princesses in the palace have spoken up for the eldest daughter of the Jia family several times.
On this day, the saint was reviewing memorials in the Daming Palace. Suddenly someone came to report that a eunuch came from the Queen Mother to ask for an audience. The saint put down his pen and sat in boredom for a while, then he raised his head and said with a smile: "Please come quickly.
"
After a while, the eunuch came in, kowtowed, and replied: "Princess Nan'an is here today to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. She said she has something to ask of the Queen Mother."
The saint hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
The eunuch said: "In the past year, there were many rumors slandering Prince Nan'an in the market, and the concubine was extremely angry."
The saint was startled. It had been so long that he had forgotten about it. No one mentioned it, so he really couldn't remember it. He couldn't help but hold back his smile and said: "It was just idle talk. It has passed long ago."
The eunuch said: "Sages naturally don't remember these little things, but people still often use them to gossip. Therefore, the concubine wants to ask a female official in the palace to return to Prince Nan'an, so that she can use God's grace to suppress the gossips of idlers.
The Queen Mother has agreed."
The saint smiled and said: "Since the Queen Mother agrees, let her choose one."
The eunuch also smiled and said: "That's right. It happened that when the concubine entered the palace today, she met an aunt who was leading the way. She saw that she had a good appearance and was not too young. She should be released in two years.
She was a perfect match for Prince Nan'an, so he asked the Queen Mother for her."
The saint nodded: "If you have such a fate, just give it to her."
The eunuch said: "Just to give face to the Prince of Nan'an, the Queen Mother wants to trouble the saint to issue a decree for marriage."
The sage said: "This is a trivial matter." Because he called for someone to prepare an edict, he asked casually, "What is the female official's name?"
The eunuch replied: "Jia's Yuanchun."
The saint was startled: "Who?"
The eunuch said: "That aunt's name is Jia Yuanchun."
The saint suddenly felt an unknown rage in his heart. He grabbed the paperweight beside his desk and threw it on the ground. There was a "clang, clang, clang" sound, which frightened the eunuchs and maids around him to kneel down. Although they didn't know why he was angry, they all kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."
The saint didn't know the name of the daughter of the Jia family at first, but he asked because Feng Ziying sent a letter saying that Mrs. Wang wanted to get her daughter out of the palace. At that time, he only wanted to think that Mrs. Wang was alone in the sky.
Meng, I didn’t expect that she could really make plans! Because she sneered and said: "What a wonderful idea." He looked at the eunuch again and said, "The intention of Princess Nan'an was to ask for a female official in the palace at will. Let her find another one."
.”
The eunuch kowtowed hurriedly and said: "Back to the saint, the Queen Mother has already agreed."
Dai Quan winked at the side and coughed twice more.
The saint was so angry that his teeth hurt, and it took him a long time to suppress his anger. He took out two breaths and said solemnly: "Well, since the Queen Mother has agreed, let her go back with Princess Nan'an today. I can't do anything.
She's an ordinary guide, and she can't hold her back even if her status is high, so it's more appropriate to be an ordinary concubine. You go." He raised his hand to take the book to look at it, and stopped talking to the eunuch.
The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed, saying yes, and retreated tremblingly.
As soon as he came out of the palace, the saint threw the book in his hand to the ground.
Dai Quan cautiously came over to persuade him: "Sage, please bear with me for a while."
The saint sneered and said: "So what if I can't bear it? When has it been my turn to make the decision in this palace?"
Dai Quan stood nearby and did not dare to say a word.
When the eunuch returned, Concubine Nan'an was holding Yuan Chun's hand and praising her. The Queen Mother looked on with a smile. After hearing what he said, everyone in the room was stunned. After a long while, the Queen Mother turned to look at Yuan Chun.
Her face was frightened and her eyes were blank. It was obvious that she didn't know anything, so she asked, "Have you ever offended someone?"
Yuanchun knelt down with tears in his eyes and said, "I have never seen a saint face to face. All of you ladies have only seen him from afar. You still met Concubine Hui once when you first entered the palace."
The Queen Mother became more and more confused: "Your father took the lead in repaying the money he owed to the treasury. The saint should like him very much." She looked at Princess Nan'an.
Naturally, Concubine Nan'an became more and more unknown. She was originally entrusted by Jia Mu to figure out her eldest grandson's daughter, but she also thought that the daughter-in-law and grandson in the mansion were now of the same mind, and none of the remaining ones were.
She is capable. But that woman is actually ungrateful. She has forgotten all about how she helped her bring down Qin Si in the early years. She even dared not listen to her own words. If she could beg this eldest girl from the Jia family to come back and become a concubine from the palace,
She also has the support of the Rongguo Mansion, which prevents her daughter-in-law from dominating the family. But now she only has a concubine. There is no saint to marry her. According to this eunuch, she doesn't even have a dowry, so she just wants to take it back! This is different from
What difference does it make if I take a maid back? I should have known why I would waste such face. I couldn't help but feel unhappy, but I didn't show it on my face. I sighed: "Since I can't win the Lord's face, I have no choice but to accept the order."
Yuanchun immediately collapsed to the ground.
Even though she was reluctant, Jia Yuanchun was still helped up and went back to pack a few things. The Queen Mother didn't like the Jia family at first, so she just ordered someone to reward her with a hairpin. Yuanchun followed Princess Nan'an in her sedan chair that day.
We went back together. It's a pity that this woman was originally ambitious, but now she doesn't even have a decent status.
Princess Nan'an heard that the old concubine had begged a female official from the palace for her husband to come back as a concubine. She was already over 20 years old, and she didn't even have a reward from the palace. She thought she was just an ordinary palace maid, and joked: "Is it possible that she is serving in the palace?"
How many days will it take for you to be able to go up to the countertop? But it may not be as good as those girls who live in the same room." Because I was told to clean which room later, I just arranged it.
After she was settled, he ordered someone to bring her up for a visit, and she was a little surprised. This girl was really a beauty, but her expression was in a trance, her eyes were cloudy, and she didn't have much energy. Her appearance suddenly changed.
She couldn't help but think to herself that this aunt obviously didn't want to come to Nan'an Palace. Could there be some secret in the palace? She just had no clue and didn't know how to treat her. She was just messing around.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said with a smile: "The prince has gone to the army, and I don't know when he will come back. The girl will settle down in the house for now and wait." Then he rewarded her with another ten taels of silver.
Yuanchun kowtowed in shame and followed her down. It wasn't until she left that the princess remembered and forgot to ask her name.
When Jia Mu received the letter, she was like a thunderbolt. After a while, she burst into tears: "My poor son..." Mrs. Wang even fainted on the spot.
