Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 205
"It seems that we have to say congratulations to Miss Su in advance, but it's a pity that it may be difficult to see Miss Su dancing again in the future." Jia Ying turned her eyes to Su Youwei and said with a smile on her face.

Su Youwei's face turned red slightly, and she glared at Yang You who was next to her, complaining slightly in her heart, the two of them were just chatting, and they wanted someone to call her here, which only added to the embarrassment.

She also just moved into Suzhong Palace yesterday.

When Yang You expressed his heart to her, she didn't really believe what Yang You said.How could children of princes and aristocrats like them fall in love with a courteous woman? It was nothing more than lust for a momentary beauty, and she had seen such things in recent years.Because of this, she chose Feng Jicai who had no family background, but unfortunately, she paid the wrong person in the end.

It's just that Yang You's status is noble, she's a woman, and she has no one to rely on, and she's afraid of losing face and causing trouble, so she found an excuse to shirk.

What she didn't expect was that Yang You actually took it seriously.

Until when Yang You left Beijing, Su Youwei still felt in her heart that maybe the other party just took this as a game to pass the boring time, maybe it won't take long for her to gradually fade away in the other party's heart, which is also what she thought to see.

But when Yang You left, she really complied with the words she used to prevaricate the other party. Not only did she prove with her actions that she was not a dandy who only knew about life and death, but also experienced a life and death.

How many men like him are there in this world, who are obviously born noble, but are willing to risk their lives for a word from a woman.

And during the time he was away from Beijing, he also entrusted Li Xiaobao to take care of her and Huibin Building all the time.

She was just a woman, an official girl who had been reduced to prostitution. Others only saw that she was glamorous on stage and was sought after by countless people, but few knew what she wanted in her heart.

She is not greedy for riches and honor, nor is she looking for beauty, she just wants to find a place where she can settle down.

She used to have a good impression of Jia Ying, and even once thought that Jia Ying was the man in this world who really understood her heart, but Jia Ying has always been able to keep a distance from her.

After going around and going back to the end, she realized that the rich dude in her eyes was the kind of person she wanted to meet.

He said he wanted to marry him as a princess.

She shook her head.

Because she understands that she is just an actress, and the difference in identities between them is doomed to the words "the bright media is marrying", and she has long been out of luck.

She agreed to move into Prince Suzhong's mansion and became his wife, not asking for status, just wanting a place of peace of mind.

enough.

Just now, I was talking with the maid Xiaohong in the back house, but someone came in and said that Yang You invited her to the front hall.

Unexpectedly, he met Jia Ying here.

"Thank you." Su Youwei replied softly.

Yang You on the side looked satisfied, and looked at Jia Ying with a frown from time to time.

It seemed that he was telling Jia Ying that he, Yang You, was the final winner in the attitude of a winner.

Jia Ying shook his head in his heart, not to mention what kind of thoughts Su Youwei had at the beginning, but he himself did not have any distracting thoughts, he just purely sympathized with this woman.

After all the hardships, the ending is not bad.

At least Yang You is not Feng Jicai, and Su Youwei is completely freed from the sea of ​​dust and misery.

The purpose of Yang You inviting Su Youwei here was indeed simply to show his love to Jia Ying, and he was a bit defensive, he only let the two meet briefly, and then let Su Youwei leave without giving them any time to chat.

"Are you sure?" Jia Ying looked at Yang You amusedly.

"This is called no evil, men and women are very defensive, but you are still a scholar, you don't even understand this." Yang You scorned.

You invited the person here, so who is to blame?

Jia Ying didn't entangle with Yang You any more, but asked instead: "Why, you just brought him into the mansion hastily like this, didn't you even set up a wedding table?"

Yang You shook his head and said: "Of course not. The Lord is going to invite his concubine in a few days. The clan mansion has already said hello, and we will wait for His Majesty's consent."

After a pause, he added: "There is also the ancestor of the concubine."

"The clan government agreed?" Jia Ying asked curiously.

It's not that Jia Ying looks down on Su Youwei's background, but some facts cannot be avoided, Yang You is a concubine, not a concubine.

Will the Clan House agree?

Yang You took it for granted and said: "Uncle Huang said, as long as His Majesty agrees, it will be fine."

Isn't that the same as not saying yes?

But seeing Yang You's yearning look, Jia Ying thought about it and thought it's better not to talk about it.

This child is completely in love, and has nothing in his heart except Nafei.

He is about to become a prince, how can he decide the marriage.

"When the time comes, don't forget to inform me that I must drink the wedding wine for you two." Jia Ying said.

"What about you, I heard that you are also engaged, when will you get married?" Yang You asked.

Mentioning this, Jia Ying felt a little distressed for a while, the daughter-in-law is still in the process of nurturing.

And the progress is slow.

There is not even a person who takes care of the inner house in the mansion.

"We'll have to wait a few more years, let's not talk about that, do you have any connections in the palace that can allow me to meet Xu Wenyu?" Jia Ying asked.

Yang You was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "The Shangyi Bureau has always been managed by the empress of the harem. Even if I have a way in the palace, it is difficult to reach out to the harem. It is said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner court without permission. In this regard, it is even more taboo for us royal children. However, if you have anything to say, I can let someone pass it on for you."

Jia Ying nodded: "I'll write a letter later, and you can bring it in."

"By the way, please contact Dai Quan for me by the way."

"What do you want Dai Quan to do?"

"Your Majesty personally promised me this matter and left it to Dai Quan to handle it. Now that something has changed, I won't ask him to find someone."

The time for him to gain a foothold in Beijing is still too short, there are not many acquaintances in the palace, it is really inconvenient to do things.

Jia's family was acquainted with several great eunuchs in the palace, but they were all made of silver. No matter what Jia Ying said, they were all born in the imperial examination, and she still didn't want to beg those eunuchs humbly.

There is a line left in Yuanchun, but it involves the empress in the harem, so it can't be used easily, so let's save it for later critical times.

Moreover, Yuan Chun's time in Fengzao Palace is even shorter, so at this time, he can't cause her any trouble.

It seems that we will have to work harder on this in the future.

"Yang Yi, do you need me to go?" Yang You asked.

"is that useful?"

Jia Ying didn't think that with Yang Yi's arrogant personality, she would let go easily.

"Among His Majesty's heirs, he is the oldest. The position of the Eastern Palace has not yet been determined. Do you think he has any thoughts?" Yang You said.

This is to make a deal between him and Yang Yi.

It's just that Jia Ying doesn't want to get too involved with the princes at the moment, the situation is still unclear, and Jiade has no obvious bias, and it's easy to lose his head if he messes up the team.

Yang You seemed to see the worries in Jia Ying's heart, and said in his mouth: "You civil servants, you just think too much, and you don't want you to make a statement right now. Besides, you also take yourself too lightly. Now It's not that you begged him, it's that he needs to win you over. With your current status in the court, it's too late for him to win you over, so how could he easily offend you."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about Yang Yi's side. I'll go find him later. You are also my brother, how can I see you suffer."

Jia Ying sighed softly in her heart, this is the only way to go now.

Jia Ying didn't want to confront Yang Yi unless it was a last resort, since it would easily cause trouble for the Jia family, a loyal and obedient king would be enough.

"Before I came, I heard from Mr. Yan that His Majesty seems to intend to make you a prince."

Hearing this, Yang You shook his head nonchalantly and said: "The Prince of the County is not much different from the Suzhong Prince's Mansion. If there is a chance, the Lord still likes to lead troops outside. The affairs of the court are a mess, and I have no interest."

Jia Ying thought about it for a while, but Yang You's temperament is not suitable for the court, and the army can show his demeanor even more.As for the county king or the prince, it really doesn't matter to Yang You, he himself has no ambitions, the title of prince is nothing more than being able to pass on to another generation.Moreover, he has only just turned 20 years old now, as long as he can continue to control the military power in the future, a title of prince will always be indispensable.

After Jia Ying wrote a letter and handed it over, it was sent to the palace through Yang You's relationship, and left Suzhong Palace before dark.

The next morning, Yang You sent someone to deliver Xu Wenyu's reply letter.

After reading the reply, Jia Ying frowned.

Yang Yi really sent someone to find Xu Wenyu more than once, but the first time she and Yang Yi met was in Yanqi Palace.

The ancients often said that the emperor had 72 concubines in Sangong and Liuyuan, which is actually a misunderstanding.

The emperor may have many women in his life, but not all of them are qualified to be concubines.

Just like Yuan Chun, she was just an ordinary court lady at first, and then she stepped up to the seat of the nine concubines step by step and became the master attendant of the imperial study.

Most of the court ladies, after being favored by the emperor once, will never see the emperor again. If they are not pregnant with the dragon species within the specified time, they can only continue to be ordinary court ladies and die forever. middle.

Therefore, Yuan Chun's ability to stand out from the crowd can not only be explained by the word "virtuous".

In the inner court of the harem, there are indeed three palaces and six courtyards.

The Sangong refers to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived, the Kunning Palace where the empress lived, and the Jiaotai Palace between the two palaces.

In fact, there are not only six courtyards, but twelve. With the Qianqing Palace as the central axis, there are six palaces in the east and west. These twelve palaces are the places where the emperor's concubines live, and they are also the highest limit for concubines in the harem.

But under normal circumstances, most of these twelve palaces are empty, um, Xuanlong Dynasty is an exception.

Fengzao Palace belongs to one of the West Six Palaces. It was originally called Chuxiu Palace, but was later renamed Fengzao Palace.

Yanqi Palace belongs to one of the East Six Palaces and is the residence of Concubine E.

There are two noble concubines and five concubines in Jiade's harem, and there is a vacancy for the imperial concubine.

Concubine E is one of the two noble concubines, her status is a head higher than Concubine Yuan, Yuan Chun is just an ordinary concubine.

As far as Jia Ying knew, Yang Yi was born by the empress, why did she go to Yanqi Palace?

Yanqi Palace is not too far from East Fifth Institute.

The East Five House is the residence of the princes in the palace.

Jia Ying threw the letter paper into the brazier, and then went out again. Yang You helped him make an appointment with Dai Quan outside the palace.

In Dashi Yongfang, in a restaurant not far from the imperial city, Jia Ying saw Dai Quan who was dressed as a rich man.

"In the midst of busy schedules, I still have to bother my father-in-law to take time to meet. Jia Ying thanked my father-in-law first."

Dai Quan put down the teacup in his hand, pointed to the chair beside him, and said with a smile: "You and I are already acquainted, don't be so polite, just sit down and talk."

Jia Ying asked Xi'er to put down the gifts she had prepared, and stood guard outside the door, then took out two gifts from among the gifts she brought, walked towards Dai Quan, and said at the same time:
"I came back to Beijing in a hurry this time, so I didn't have time to prepare some interesting things for my father-in-law. These things are wild things from Shanxi and Shanxi. Although they are not precious, they are still rare."

"Eunuch, look at this."

As he spoke, he opened the box containing the gift, and introduced: "This is Cistanche deserticola, which is born in the Western Regions. Doctors call it goblin. It can nourish the five internal organs, strengthen yin, and benefit the essence. It can lighten the body when used frequently."

Dai Quan is also a person who knows the goods. He has seen many good things in the palace. Looking at the items in the box, his eyes lit up slightly and said: "It is indeed a rare thing. Our family has seen this thing in the palace. It is It was brought by the countries of the Western Regions when they paid tribute, but since the Xiongnu completely occupied Hexi, there have been fewer such things.”

Jia Ying smiled slightly and said: "On the way to the west this time, I met a caravan traveling between the Central Plains and the Great Wall. They happened to have this item, so I bought two catties and returned it as Jia Ying's share to my father-in-law. Respect, father-in-law, don't dislike him."

two catties.

Dai Quan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, even in the palace there is no such weight in a year.

So the smile on his face became more and more kind: "It's rare for Master Jia to show his kindness, so our family will be ashamed to accept it."

Jia Ying then opened another box, "These are two pairs of Snow Ganoderma lucidum, also bought from merchants."

"And this, Tibetan antelope horns, a catty of caterpillar fungus, are all wild things, please accept them together."

Dai Quan's face was full of glory at the moment, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

For disabled people like them, it is inevitable that they will suffer from various physical discomforts, and they often need to take some precious medicinal materials to make up for the insufficiency of the day after tomorrow. These things Jia Ying sent are exactly what he needs.

Don't look at just some medicinal materials, these are all foreign tributes from the royal family. If they are outside, these things may not cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The key is to have a lot of quantity. For this goblin, a few taels is enough for a year. Jia Ying directly bought two catties.

And this Snow Ganoderma lucidum, which is quite big, there are still two pairs.

That Tibetan antelope horn is probably enough for ten years.

At this moment, Dai Quan looked at Jia Ying more and more pleasingly. He didn't give money to give medicinal materials, and he saved a lot of tongue-in-cheek, and he felt at ease when he accepted it.

"It's rare that Mr. Jia is thinking about our family in his heart. Our family will remember this kind of heart. Mr. Jia asked the young prince Suzhong to invite our family to come out. There must be something to discuss."

Only then did Jia Ying sit down on the chair and said, "There is indeed a small matter that I need to trouble my father-in-law for once."

"Let's listen to it." Dai Quan narrowed his eyes, thinking about what Jia Yingxun wanted to do. If it was a matter of little effort, he wouldn't mind helping out. After all, he and the Jia family still have a lot of friendship. What's more, he was very clear about Jia Ying's position in the emperor's heart.

"I don't know if my father-in-law still remembers Xu Wenyu."

"Xu Wenyu?"

Dai Quan thought for a while: "But the orphan girl of the Xu family, hasn't His Majesty already made arrangements for this matter? What is Mrs. Jia worried about?"

"Jia Ying naturally remembers the great love of His Majesty and Eunuch, but something has changed now."

"Oh? What happened? Our family has already greeted Shangyi Bureau and Zhanshifu." Dai Quan asked suspiciously.

"My father-in-law is by His Majesty's side. It's rare for me to be free. Some things may not be clear. It is said that Xu Wenyu's time limit in Shangyi Bureau has come, but Shangyi Bureau has not released him. It seems that Shangyi Bureau has made arrangements for Xu Wenyu's whereabouts." .” Jia Ying picked out some things and said them out.

"What arrangement?"

"I heard that several princes are about to open a mansion, and Zhao Wang's mansion is currently short of manpower."

Hearing this, Dai Quan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It is not easy to intervene when the prince is involved. Looking at the gifts on the table for a while, I feel a little hot. He is a eunuch, a servant of the royal family. Let him meddle in the royal affairs
Jia Ying saw Dai Quan's hesitation, and hurriedly said: "Just please remind the Zhan Shifu, after all, His Majesty personally agreed to this matter, and, to say something disrespectful, this can be regarded as an agreement between Your Majesty and the officials." Agreement."

Dai Quan frowned and didn't make a sound.

Seeing that Dai Quan was still hesitating, Jia Ying secretly said, "Old Yin."

"I just want to ask my father-in-law to help delay it for a while. Don't let this matter become a foregone conclusion. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the next official will remember my father-in-law's kindness."

Dai Quan nodded and said: "It's not difficult, but Jia Ying, as you know, our family is a eunuch and a servant of the royal family. In this world, our family can ignore anyone's face, but we can't disobey it." Master's meaning."

"This point, the lower official naturally understands, father-in-law, I will allow the lower official to repay you in the future."

Dai Quan nodded, and then continued: "It's useless to say hello to Zhan Shifu about this matter, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until now. Looking back, our family will help you find a way. Speaking of which, the palace Tonight, our family owes you a life."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Jia Ying thanked you here.

After leaving the restaurant, Jia Ying still couldn't rest assured about this matter, it's just that there are two worlds inside and outside the palace, and now he can't face the saint, so he is really passive.

The ones given to Dai Quan were originally prepared for Dai Yu, but now they have to be taken out.

I hope that Dai Quan will not disappoint him too much, even if it can be delayed for a while, Jiade will summon him sooner or later, if it doesn't work, he can only learn from Yang You.

In the afternoon, several eunuchs came out of the palace holding an imperial decree and rushed straight to the Suzhong Palace.

Yang You was named Prince.

Only his reward hasn't come down yet, and he doesn't know what Jiade is hesitating about.

Garter was indeed a little hesitant at the moment.

Jia Ying has made great achievements, so he has to be rewarded, but Jia Ying is very different in the court. In his opinion, Jia Ying's age is not a big problem. Received awards continuously.

Although he earned these rewards with his own life, the most important thing is that the work is beautiful and easy to use.

But it was a bit too smooth, but it seemed that there was no one in the Guardian Dynasty.

The opposition of the officials is not without reason.

Moreover, Jia De never forgot Jia Ying's background.

Jiade looked at the back of a screen in the imperial study room, on which were outlined a few lines of small characters in ink, among which was the word "Xungui".

"Dai Quan."

"The slave is here."

"What has Jia Ying been doing lately?" Jia De asked suddenly.

Without hesitation, Dai Quan opened his mouth and reported Jia Ying's recent whereabouts to Jia De.

After hearing this, Jiade snorted softly and said, "He's not in a hurry at all, hmph."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. How to reward your majesty is arbitrary. Jia Ying is useless even if he is in a hurry. On the contrary, it is his mentality of not fighting or grabbing, which is rare for slaves. Without the impatience of young people, there are more of them." A little calm." Dai Quan bowed aside and said.

Jia De looked at Dai Quan meaningfully: "Could it be that you have taken some advantage from Jia Ying, so how can you speak good things for him?"

Dai Quan's heart trembled, but he said calmly, "Your Majesty has the insight, Jia Ying has saved the slave's life."

"Jia Ying saved you? You stay by my side all day. How could your life be in danger? Even if it was real, with your skills, I'm afraid few people can hurt you." Jia De was puzzled.

"The last time the assassins broke into the palace, if Jia Ying hadn't blocked it in front of them, if those assassins had really threatened the holy car, the servant would have no face to live on. The servant is not afraid of those assassins, but if he is entangled, it is inevitable." I don't care about His Majesty, so Jia Ying has saved the servant once." Dai Quan said sincerely.

Jiade nodded upon hearing this, but did not speak.

Just on the face, there was a trace of kindness.

Seeing that Jiade seemed to be in a better mood, Dai Quan said again: "Your Majesty, speaking of Jia Ying, Zhan Shifu asked the servant a few days ago about how Xu Wenyu should arrange it. Please write down the matter and ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

"Xu Wenyu?"

"That daughter of Xu Zhemu?"

"Exactly."

After a moment of silence, Jiade said: "Well, I forgot about this matter, let her stay in Zhanshi's mansion first, and I can arrange it freely."

Dai Quan didn't say much anymore.

At the same time, I was glad that he agreed to Jia Ying. It turned out that His Majesty had other arrangements.

It seems that it is time to say hello to Shangyi Bureau.

Suzhong Palace.

"So he doesn't want to let Xu Wenyu go?" Jia Ying looked at Yang You and asked.

Yang You shook his head and said: "He didn't say it clearly, but he asked me to send a message to you on his behalf, asking you to talk to him in person."

"Let me talk to him?"

Yang You nodded: "What do you think? What I mean is that you'd better not go, to save yourself trouble. You don't know what he has in mind, do you?"

Jia Ying frowned, Yang Yi was staring at her.

This is just the opening of the mansion, is it already so impatient?
"Your Majesty asked him to take Fu Donglai as his teacher and work with him to manage the household department." Yang You told another piece of news that Jia Ying didn't know.

Jia Ying's pupils shrank.

"Yang Yi's tricks are becoming more and more useless. If he really cherishes his talent, he shouldn't use it as a threat. If it were him, he would let him go. What is he doing?" Yang Yi said. Yu stood aside and said unfairly.

At this moment, Jia Ying also had some disdain for Yang Yi.

I didn't know it at first, but based on my intuition after meeting him once, I felt that Yang Yi was arrogant.

But I didn't expect it to be so unbearable.

If Jiade's sons only had this kind of skill, it would be disappointing, and it was no wonder that the emperor was reluctant to appoint a crown prince.

However, he still decided to see each other.

After all, Xu Wenyu is his woman.
