The Second Master of the Red Chamber

In Rongguo Mansion, a woman from the second door walked into Sister Feng's children's courtyard, came to the door of the main room, bowed and replied: "Second grandma, the boy next to the second master has sent word that the second master will not come back for lunch today."

"Do you know where the second master is going?"

"Said he went to the firearms camp."

"Understood, let's go down."

In the room, Sister Feng looked miserable.

Although Jia Lian didn't explain when he went out in the morning, she could probably guess that Jia Lian must have gone to the palace since he left so early.

As for the purpose, apart from his affair with the princess, there is nothing else.

Therefore, she didn't pay much attention to the trivial matters in the house today, and waited at home with peace of mind for the news.

After previous rounds of comfort from Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang, she had already accepted the result, and was even mentally prepared to be in some embarrassing situations after the matter became public.

It's not too difficult. She is not a sensitive or glass-hearted person.

Moreover, this incident, in terms of embarrassment and humiliation, was far less than the time the Queen Mother punished her that year.

That time, she was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager for her immoral and reckless behavior. Not only was she almost ruined, but Jia Lian also lost her official position and suffered a lot of gossip.

Although that time it was mainly because of Jia Lian's protection that she was able to get through it in the end.

But we got through it after all.

Looking back, that experience became a memorable moment in her life. I would like to ask, how many decent women in the world can successfully survive such a desperate situation?
After being demoted to the concubine this time, although he could not avoid being embarrassed, the person he lost to was the princess of the dynasty, so that was all.

Who can really laugh at her when she's in a different position?
With her previous experience, she has the courage to face the next situation calmly and the confidence to reverse adversity.

Even so, the loneliness of being alone and having her husband taken away from her could not help but make her feel depressed.

This is not a contradiction.

Since Jia Lian didn't come back, she had no way of knowing whether Jia Lian had entered the palace or what the outcome would be. She could only order someone to prepare a meal, and planned to go to the garden to see Baochai after the meal.

Suddenly hearing Jia's mother inviting her over, Sister Feng quickly packed up and headed to Rongqing Hall.

When we got here, we saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn. The maids in front of the main room were not as lively as before, and Sister Feng couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Slowing down the pace, he turned into the inner hall and saw that in addition to Jia Mu still sitting high, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were sitting next to her.

Seeing her come in, they all looked at her with deep expressions.

Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat, and just as she was about to use her best joke to find out what was going on with her elders, she heard Jia's mother above her say: "Girl Feng, do you know about Lian'er and Princess Zhaoyang? "

"Uh……"

Sister Feng didn't expect Jia Mu to ask this. In her opinion, even if there is a result on Jia Lian's side, he will definitely tell her first, not Jia Mu and others.

Why does it look like Jia Mu and others knew about it before she did?

If it is said that the people around him have let it slip. Regardless of the people around Jia Lian, Ping'er was the only one around her who knew about it. Even Qingwen and Xiangling didn't know about it, so they shouldn't be.

But no matter where Jia Mu learned it, since she already knew it, Sister Feng had no reason to hide it, so she nodded.

"Confused!!"

Mother Jia scolded in a deep voice: "How dare you hide such an important matter from me and your wife!"

Sister Feng quickly knelt down and said aggrievedly: "It's not that we deliberately hid the truth from the old lady and my wife, but the matter is too big to be publicized.

Second Master’s intention is that after he has settled all the problems and problems, it will not be too late to inform the ancestors..."

Sister Feng explained, and the more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. It was clear that she was the only one who was hurt in this matter. Even Jia's family would benefit from the relationship with the eldest princess. In the end, Jia's mother still scolded and questioned her.

Seemingly sensing Sister Feng's thoughts, Mother Jia's expression softened a little and said, "If it hadn't been for the letter from the imperial concubine, I wouldn't have known about this matter. You guys, you are acting so irrationally..."

When Sister Feng heard Jia Mu's words below, she knew where Jia Mu's news came from. At the same time, he secretly thought that since Yuanchun knew about this matter, he thought that the unscrupulous person had already entered the palace to ask for grace, and he didn't know what the result would be.

Before she could guess, Jia Mu had already stared at her again and cursed: "Lian'er is a man and young, so impulsiveness is inevitable. As his first wife, since you know this, Why didn’t you know how to persuade him and let him do whatever he wanted to do, thus causing such trouble!”

Uh……

Sister Feng raised her head and looked at Jia Mu with tearful eyes.

Jia Mu said angrily: "The Imperial Concubine said that the Supreme Emperor was very angry when he found out about Lian'er and the eldest princess. He has issued a decree to severely reprimand Lian'er and demoted his title!"

"what……!"

Sister Feng was also shocked. If she had not known that Jia Mu would not joke about such a thing, she would have thought that Jia Mu was lying to her.

what happened? Didn't it mean that the eldest princess was very favored in the Tian family? The man in the family was also the emperor's confidant, and even the Queen Mother had intended to bring them together.

Now that he is willing to give in and make room for his position, why is the royal family not happy?
So I quickly asked for the specific reason.

It turned out that when Yuanchun returned to Fengzao Palace after meeting the queen, he still couldn't help but worry about Jia Lian's affairs, so he wrote a letter to tell his family what happened in the palace today.

The purpose is also to let Jia Mu and others know about this matter, so as to comfort and restrain Jia Lian, so as to prevent him from making mistakes.

But as soon as Jia Mu learned about Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang, she was immediately shocked. When she found out that the Supreme Emperor was angry, she was even more frightened.

They wanted to send someone to ask Jia Lian for questioning. Jia Lian was not at home, so he had to call Sister Feng.

As for Mrs. Wang... Mrs. Wang is the head wife of the family, and Mother Jia has no reason to hide such important matters from her.

Aunt Xue happened to come over to talk to Mrs. Wang. When she heard Jia Mu summoned her, she came with her. When she heard this, she was also very surprised.

Sister Feng was stunned for a moment when she heard Jia Mu's narration of Yuan Chun's words.

Without thinking too much, he hurriedly picked up the key question and asked: "The imperial concubine said that our second master's position of marquis was deprived of his title by the Supreme Emperor?"

"It's not bad after being shaved off, but it was demoted from second class to third class."

Huh, that's okay.

Sister Feng cares about this very much. Although she was ready to lose her title of "Mrs. Marquis", to put it bluntly, even if she was a concubine, there was a huge difference between being a concubine to a Marquis and a concubine to an ordinary person.

Just like, the emperor's concubine is a concubine, a noble person.

The minister's concubine is the aunt, commonly known as "half master".

As for the concubines of ordinary people, they are no different from goods. The difference can be imagined.

When she learned that Jia Lian was not fucked to the end, but kept her identity as a marquis, Sister Feng's mind suddenly moved:
Since the Supreme Emperor objects, doesn't it mean that the woman won't be able to enter Jia's house?

A different thought flashed through her mind, but Sister Feng was still kneeling on the ground with a face on her face, waiting for Jia Mu's instructions.

"The Heavenly Family is merciful and for the sake of the merits of our ancestors, Lian'er will be spared this time.

But you know Lian'er's temperament. Most of the time, he is very shrewd, but occasionally he can be stubborn. If he doesn't repent and continues to be entangled with the eldest princess, and then completely angers Long Yan, I'm afraid that not only will his own achievements be in vain, but his family will also be in trouble.

You can clearly understand the stakes. "

Sister Feng nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, old lady, when the second master comes home, I will persuade him..."

Seeing Sister Feng's good attitude, Jia Mu couldn't continue to blame her.

After all, she also saw that Sister Feng must have found out about Jia Lian and the princess after they got involved. Moreover, she herself definitely doesn't want to see these two people getting involved.

Opening her mouth to ask Sister Feng to stand up, Jia Mu couldn't help but teach:

"I often tell you, this man's family is like a greedy cat, there is no one who doesn't steal fish!
As a woman, you should know how to win over your man's heart.

It would be better for you, if there are so many beautiful people in your house, he is not allowed to touch this, and he is not allowed to touch that. If things continue like this, how can he not steal food from outside?
I see that if something like this happens now, you, the wife, must be responsible for half of it! "

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Sister Feng felt extremely aggrieved and couldn't help but argue: "How could I not let him touch the people in the house? The old lady said so, but I have been wronged to death..."

"You still dare to quibble? Let's not talk about Qingwen. It has been so many years since Lian'er wanted her. Last time I heard someone say that she is still a virgin. Is there such a thing? ?”

"This………"

Sister Feng was speechless. This was obviously because Jia Lian had some kind of problem and just kept it without using it. Why is it now her fault?

It was not easy to defend myself in front of Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

Sister Feng's silence was an acquiescence in Jia Mu's eyes, so she snorted coldly and said: "I also came here from a young age, how can I not understand your thoughts?

Just be jealous and willful and have a certain temper. Do you really have no idea what others are talking about you?

There is no point in talking too much about some things. Go down and think about it yourself, what are the gains and what are the losses. "

Oh……

Sister Feng was unconvinced.

From childhood to adulthood, Sister Feng's heart has always been that Jia's mother is a high-ranking wife of the Duke of the country and an elder worthy of respect.

But since that time she was in trouble, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's disregard for her made her respect for these elders much less.

Of course, it might also be because of her own improved status. In short, she no longer obeyed the words of Jia Mu and others as she did before.

According to Jia Lian's meaning, just listen to what the elders say, just do what you should do.

So Sister Feng listened to Jia Mu's admonishment with a serious face, and her head kept nodding. But how much she really heard, only she knew.

After finally saying goodbye to her elders and returning home, Sister Feng had no intention of eating.

After hastily asking someone to take it away, Sister Feng left Ping'er behind and told Ping'er the news she learned in Rongqing Hall.

One is short, two are long.

In addition to being her personal maid, Ping'er is also her think tank.

The current situation is quite complicated. She has some ideas, but she is afraid that they are not comprehensive enough, so she asks Ping'er to give advice.

Ping'er also looked solemn when she heard it, and she said: "If this is really the case, it may be a good thing for the second grandma."

As Sister Feng's maid, Ping'er and Sister Feng's interests are naturally highly consistent.

She also doesn't want Sister Feng to lose her current status.

"You feel the same way?" Sister Feng's expression was bright, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she looked very happy.

Compromise is a helpless move in the face of the general trend, which is also called understanding the current affairs. If given a choice, who would be willing to give up his status and be inferior to others?
"It's just the second master's place..."

Hearing Ping'er's hesitant reminder, Sister Feng suppressed her excitement.

She understood what Ping'er meant, because she was also very familiar with Jia Lian's personality and temperament, and he was not someone who gave in easily.

Although on the surface, Jia Lian has no possibility of resisting the Supreme Emperor, Sister Feng actually has a feeling in her heart that she cannot be happy too early!
"I know your second master's temper. He is not an impulsive person. If the imperial concubine had not spoken out, the emperor would have been unable to accommodate him. Your second master would not have done anything he knew he couldn't do.

However, there was no guarantee that he had nothing else on his mind.

Moreover, he was used to having things go smoothly, so he felt uncomfortable if he suffered a setback this time.

No wonder he didn’t go home immediately after what happened, but went to the military camp instead. He definitely didn’t want to go home and face us..."

Thinking of this, Sister Feng was inexplicably happy.

She knew what Jia Lian was like when he was in a bad mood. You only need to know the fate of the Yang brothers and sisters (Jia Cong's maternal uncle), as well as the Lai family and other slaves.

If today, instead of hearing about this from Jia Mu and others, Jia Lian comes back and tells her, if he notices the joy in front of Jia Lian...

For some reason, Sister Feng felt a little scared. Obviously, she felt that even so, Jia Lian would not do anything to her.

She was very dissatisfied with her cowardly thoughts. Sister Feng continued her analysis: "When this happened, your second master must be in a bad mood. Please tell me and tell the people in the courtyard to be more careful and don't make mistakes." Touched his brow.

You also have to be smart. If he doesn't mention it, don't mention it in front of him. Just pretend you don't know about it. "

Ping'er nodded quickly. She was still worried that Sister Feng would get carried away and make Jia Lian unhappy. Ping'er was very pleased to hear her instructions.

After so many things, the second mistress has grown up a lot and become more sophisticated.

"Also, we have to think of a way to make your second master happy and try to make him forget about this matter as soon as possible. Hmph, it's best to completely forget about that unknown woman!"

Ping'er felt helpless when he heard Sister Feng's heartless words.

It was clear that yesterday she was talking about a princess, and it was very helpful for the princess to call her sister. She also said to herself that with the princess, the second master's career would definitely develop faster and better.

Have you become "that ominous woman" today?

However, Ping'er felt that Sister Feng's idea was right. Under the current situation, it would be best for the second master to forget about the princess. (End of chapter)
