The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter 44

Although Madam Shen's arrival made Jia Lan a little embarrassed, but Jia Lan kept Zhang's kindness in his heart, and for this reason, he went to thank her before entering the palace, and then went back to prepare to rest.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Jia Lan returned to her courtyard after finishing her work, only to find that Chen's mother's expression was worse than the last time she came back.

Mother Chen looked at the child she raised, and hurriedly smiled and said that everything was fine, but instead she cared about life in Jialan Palace.

"Mom!" Jia Lan's face changed, and he looked at Chen's mother fixedly.

Mother Chen sighed, knowing that Jia Lan was worried about her, and she didn't like her hiding it from her, so she said softly: "The second young master is going to get married, and the house has been busy recently, so it's really fine! You are in the palace You have to take good care of yourself, I'm fine in the mansion, besides, there is grandma looking after me!"

Mrs. Zhang will take care of herself, but she will take care of Mrs. Chen. Jia Lan doesn't think she will go against Jia Shishi because of Mrs. Chen. She is in the palace and has no time to take care of the mansion. Mrs. Chen and the maids in her courtyard, Life must be difficult.After careful questioning, I found out that, as expected, even the servants of the big house were often assigned to do things, and the whole house, only Jia Daishan and the people around Jia Min did not move.

"Has the yard where the second elder brother got married has been tidied up?" Jia Shishi is very concerned about Jia Zheng's marriage. Although there is still a month and a half to go, the entire Jia family has started to get busy. There are so many servants in the house, Jia Lan does not believe it. It was not enough, so I deliberately asked Mrs. Zhang the next morning.

Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to care, and just said: "I heard what my wife said, the second sibling is young and wants to be around to teach them well, so the wedding room is placed in the wing room of Rongxi Hall."

"Ah?" Jia Lan exclaimed pretending to be surprised.

"Ma'am, the master also agrees." Mrs. Zhang said sarcastically, asking her second son to marry in the main room, she didn't know whether Jia Shishi was really confused or pretended to be confused, but Jia Daishan agreed, just Because Mr. Qingyuan took Hu'er as his apprentice, saying that he wanted to comfort Jia Zheng, it's really ridiculous to think about it.

"Please redeem this old slave and talk about it. This is absolutely impossible. The order of the elders and the younger ones, and the distinction between the sons and daughters are the foundation of running a family. The Duke's wife's move, although she is her beloved son, but..." Shen Momo followed all day long. Jia Lan saw clearly and understood what Jia Lan meant, so he said directly: "After all, I broke the rules."

"What Mammy said is true, but Madam has made up her mind, what can we juniors say?" Ms. Zhang didn't care much about this. Wherever she lived, she was the future wife and uncle of the mansion. She is also the heir of the Duke's Mansion, since Jia Shi really can't do without Jia Zheng, then don't leave, she wants to see what kind of future such an unruly Jia Zheng has?

"That being said, but... Marrying the second son in the main house, the reputation of this uncle..." Shen Momo shook her head lightly, very puzzled.

Jia Lan continued after hearing the words: "Nurse is right, I have been in the palace for a while, my sister-in-law knows that the Holy Majesty and the Queen's Empress are the most compliant, and even if the elder brother is in vain, he can't... Besides The second elder brother still needs the imperial examination, what reputation? And Hu'er, after all, he and the elder brother are the direct grandsons of this mansion! Although Hu'er is young, if the second sister-in-law gives birth to the child in Rongxi Hall in the future, Hu'er Where should I go?"

Mrs. Zhang lowered her head. She was unwilling at first, but because Jia Daishan agreed and wanted to see Jia Zheng's jokes, she didn't seriously stop her, so she patted Jia Lan's hand with a smile and said she knew.

Jia Lan lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard the words, and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask my sister-in-law for advice."

"What's the matter? Is there anything we can't talk about?" Zhang asked with a smile.

Jia Lan twisted her fingers, and said with some embarrassment: "My nanny, Mama Chen, grew up with Nanny Liu who left the house before. Nanny Liu is getting old, and she has been feeling a little uncomfortable during this time. Mama Chen is very Worried, I just wanted to ask Mother Chen to take care of her, after all, it was the old man left by my aunt."

"It's just a small matter, why does my sister need to ask?" Zhang Shi heard the words and didn't take it as a big matter. She liked Jia Lan's pure, kind and conscientious person, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Sister-in-law is so kind to me." Jia Lan said gratefully. She probably won't be able to come out in a year or two as a companion. Mother Chen is really worried that she is in the mansion, so she might as well arrange to go out.Now that you have Zhang's words, you can just tell Jia Daishan yourself.

When Chen's mother heard that Jia Lan asked her to leave the house, she felt sorry for Jia Lan and was very reluctant to give up.His anxious eyes turned red for a moment.

"Mother Shen's family is also in the Zhuangzi now. I want to open a shop to practice my skills. Mother Liu's family is inevitably short of staff. My mother will go out and look after it for me, so that I can feel at ease." Jia Lan said bluntly.

When Mother Chen heard this, she quickly asked Jia Lan what was going on, isn't Nanny Shen the mother in the palace?Why is the family on Jialan Zhuangzi?Jia Lan then said that Nanny Shen was originally in front of the old dowager in the palace, and there were still children and family members outside the palace, so these people must be properly arranged.And these people are good and bad, you have to see them.He also said that when she came out of the palace in the future, she would come back to serve him.

"Even so, I won't miss Miss's business." Mother Chen thought so, she really couldn't help Jia Lan in the mansion, she might as well help Jia Lan outside, so she agreed.

Jia Lan gave another 100 taels of silver to Chen's mother and asked her to put it on her body.Mother Chen declined for a while, and Jia Lan couldn't help turning cold, so she accepted it.Jia Lan hugged Chen's mother and said softly: "I will take good care of myself in the palace, so my mother should also take good care of her. My aunt is gone. What are you doing? What should I do?"

With red eyes, Chen's mother pulled Hui'er and gave a lot of instructions, because Jia Amnesty was urged, so she sent Jia Lan out of the mansion into the palace with tears in her eyes.

"Miss, don't worry about the affairs of the house, but Grandma is not without schemes." Seeing the attitude of the Jia family, Sister Shen couldn't help shaking her head. After all, it is a family of the army, and the background is indeed quite different.Such an unruly thing was done so blatantly.However, Uncle Jia's family didn't look as dandy as the legend said, and his words and deeds seemed to be quite appropriate.I heard that it was specially taught by Zhang Taifu. Although he is incompetent, he knows the seriousness and seriousness, so he will not cause any major troubles.Apart from Jia Daishan, Rongguo Mansion can only look at the third generation in the future.I don't know what the situation in Ningguo Mansion is like.

Jia Lan nodded. The affairs of the Jia family are not a secret. There is nothing to hide. It is also a good thing that Madam Shen can give more advice to Mrs. Zhang. With Jia Zheng who had no contact at all, Jia Lan naturally hoped that the eldest son would be well.

"The Niu family and the Zhen family are getting married. After the draft, Niu Jihong will not enter the palace." Wu Wanjun entered the palace half an hour later than Jia Lan, and whispered to Jia Lan after entering the palace.

Upon hearing the words, Jia Lan asked, "Does that mean we have to choose a companion to read again?"

"I don't know, the three princesses on the left and right have a much better temper now, and it doesn't matter to me whether I have a new reading companion." Wu Wanjun didn't care about this, but reminded: "The third princess chooses a cloth strip to read with, wait After the draft, the fifth princess will be selected, and I heard that the fourth girl of your family has already registered with the queen."

Jia Min wants to accompany the five princesses?Jia Lan was very surprised when she heard the words. If Jia Min had been the companion of the third princess, she would have nothing to do with herself. Jia Daishan was favored. When Jia Min entered the palace, the third princess must feel uncomfortable. No wonder Jia Min asked about his affairs in the palace in such detail.

"Fourth sister is going to enter the palace, what do you think I should do?" Wu Wanjun just came over to give Jia Lan some advice. After she left, Jia Lan frowned and asked, do you want to mess up this matter?Although Jia Min is not very close to him, Jia Min has no bad intentions towards him. The fifth princess is the same age as Jia Min, and has a good temper. She is not a difficult person to serve.But when she enters the palace, Princess Baoqing will definitely hold grudges against herself, and it makes her feel sour when she thinks about the days to come.

Shen Momo asked in a low voice: "It's better for Fourth Miss Jia not to enter the palace."

Jia Lan was a little silent when she heard the words, but thinking of Jia Min's kindness in teaching, she still said: "No, you don't need to intervene. It would be good if you can get into my sister. After all, I'm in the palace now. If my sister doesn't show up, it's not good for her." It's not good, my wife has already made arrangements. After all, it's a family, and I don't want to hinder my sister's future."

Nanny Shen paused for a moment, then took a step back and didn't say anything else. She is a slave and doesn't need to dictate to her master.

"Miss Jia's Fourth Miss has heard that she is extremely outstanding, and Miss Jia's third has no ill intentions towards her younger sister. It's better not to interfere in this matter." Gu Qingyan winked at Jun Zexuan who was painting, and said to Jun Zexuan .

Jun Ze glanced at him, Xuan'er has been trying to find a way these days, he wants to marry Miss Jia San, he doesn't know what drug Jia San took to Xuan'er, which made Xuan'er miss her so much .But after all, she was so obedient that she didn't tell anything about Xuan'er, otherwise, there would be many ways to make her disappear.I heard that apart from her frail body, Jia Si is extremely outstanding, Jun Zezhu wondered if it would be good to let her enter the palace to show Xuan'er?

"Actually, I think that if Xuan'er must have Jia San, it's not that it can't be fulfilled. Jia San is just a concubine of the Rongguo Mansion. If Xuan'er accepts her, it's fine if you think about it." Gu Qingyan looked at his cousin so pitifully. Missing a little girl, it's funny but also a little sad, a dignified prince, indeed... If Jia San can make Xuan'er feel at ease, isn't it impossible to accept it for him?Anyway, Xuan'er is not an ordinary person in front of the emperor, so it is not too difficult to find a little side concubine to take care of him.

Jun Zexiu gave him a glance, and said speechlessly: "Xuan'er said that she would marry her as his regular wife, and that he would only marry her as one." The matter of face slapping, Rong Guogong will definitely not tolerate it, Jia San may not be able to be brought to Xuan'er's side, and now Xuan'er really cares about Jia San, he doesn't want Xuan'er to be too sad.
