Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 129

The emperor promoted Wang Ziteng to be in charge of the nine provinces. He was ordered to inspect the political affairs of the Nine Frontier Army. He left Beijing early this morning.

Although Dafang and Wang's family look very close, but after all, they are the family of in-laws and Yuanchun's uncle. Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Dong, brought her nephew Wang Ren and daughter Wang Xiluan to congratulate her in person.

The Rongxi Hall was already full of wives and wives from various families attending the banquet. Almost all the nobles and relatives of the clan in Beijing had arrived. The Rongguo Mansion, which had been silent for several years, once again became the focus of all parties.

It is impossible for Mother Jia, who has honored all her life, to say that she does not have some emotion in her heart when she sees Zhucui ordered by the court.

Thinking back to Jia Daishan's No.1 status in front of the imperial court, let alone the four kings and eight princes, even the emperor's two brothers, daughters-in-law, princes and concubines would give her a little bit of shame.

She looked at Li Taifei of Prince Yizhong's residence, Taifei Fan of Prince Yizhong's residence, Wang Ziteng's wife Dong Shi and other relatives and noble family members surrounded by the female family members in the hall. She couldn't help but miss the Jia family back then.

Although Jia's family is now both an uncle and a concubine, it has been silent for too long, and under the situation where the sun hangs in the sky, no one can guarantee whether the Jia family of Ningrong, which is involved in the matter of the former prince, will be a flash in the pan.

To curry favor with the seemingly fiery Jia family is better than to curry favor with these ardent clan princes and princes who are stable and solid.

After the wives and wives exchanged pleasantries for a while, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

The capital city is neither big nor small, and there are not many opportunities for female relatives to go out for gatherings on weekdays. Every family has juniors of marriageable age, and there are many opportunities to see each other when they get together on weekdays. No exception.

For example, the girls from various families that Wang Xifeng took with her sisters and children are the focus of the wives and wives at this time.

If you want to say that the Jia family can't do anything else, but when it comes to appearance, it is definitely a first-class existence.Not to mention the one in the palace, but Yingchun and Tanchun, who are still young, have grown into beauties, and even the little Xichun is carved with jade, like a little flower fairy.

Not to mention Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Baochai who are half guests and half masters standing with them, which made the eyes of the female relatives who came to congratulate them shine.

"The old lady is very lucky. The granddaughters under her knees are as good as the other. I am very jealous when I see it, and I wish I could grab one and take it home."

Concubine Li suddenly put aside the female relatives surrounding her, and turned the topic to the girls of Jia's family who were sitting beside her. There are all six concubines in the palace, but only the virtuous concubine is the most eye-catching, I have to say, the granddaughter taught by the old lady really has nothing to say."

Geek!

As Concubine Li's words reached Daiyu's ears, her heart skipped a beat immediately, the worry in her eyes flashed away, and when she looked up, she saw Wang Xifeng, who was chatting and laughing with them softly, curled her lips.

"The concubine was joking!"

Everyone turned their gazes to the younger generation in amazement, only to see Wang Xifeng wearing a big red jacket embroidered with phoenix fairy, the golden phoenix walking on her head swaying slightly, her frown and smile just right.

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and smiled: "Which one of the empresses in the palace is not elegant and dignified? Although my empress is said to have been granted the title of a virtuous concubine, she is actually younger than the empresses. I dare not answer. The empresses in the palace have their own merits, so they have received the grace of the saint and His Majesty, my empress is only one of them, and the Jia family is ashamed of the ridiculous praise of the concubine empress."

As she said that, she got up and gave a blessing to the concubines and relatives of the concubines who came to congratulate her, and said with sincerity: "I'm rough, ladies, please forgive me, don't laugh at me because I don't read much and can't speak. "

The way the Wang family teaches their daughters is not clear to many noble relatives' families in Beijing.Those wives and wives were very impressed by Wang Xifeng's straightforward self-exposing of his ugliness, and they all nodded and smiled.

The old lady had already been flattered by Concubine Li, and the pride on her face was clearly visible.

Following Wang Xifeng's gag and uttering these words of reminder, he finally came to his senses, looking at the several noble relatives and female relatives sitting on the left and right, a cold sweat broke out down his spine.

Haoxuan almost offended all the noble relatives in Beijing, not to mention that if she complied with Concubine Li's words today, Yuan Chun would be enemies everywhere in the palace.

I didn't mention the anger in my heart, but I didn't dare to offend Mrs. Concubine Li coldly.With a smile on his face, he wanted to let it go.

Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, she saw Concubine Li set her eyes on Daiyu, she smiled, and asked casually: "Which granddaughter of the old lady is this little girl?"

Mother Jia was slightly taken aback, unable to guess Li Taifei's mind at all.

"Yu'er, don't come here to pay respects to the empress dowager."

Daiyu stepped forward after hearing the words, and bowed gracefully: "Ms. Lin pays her respects to the concubine."

"Your name is Lin?"

Concubine Li seemed to have realized something, raised her eyebrows, turned her head and said to the old lady: "So this is the granddaughter of the old lady, she looks very much like her mother, she is such a beauty, no wonder the old lady is planning to combine the two jades into one." Yes. It's a pity..."

Before the old lady could respond, Daiyu straightened her back and said solemnly, "My father and uncle have already made a marriage letter for me and Brother Cong, and there is also the Queen Mother. Your Majesty bestows a marriage order, although the Empress Dowager has a high status, she must not use some rumors to tarnish my boudoir's reputation and the reputation of the Jialin family."

"You child, when your mother was there in the past, the old lady wrote to Jiangnan many times, wanting to betroth you to that brother who was born with jade. Many people know about this, how can it be called a rumor? "

Concubine Li was obviously upset when Daiyu refuted her words on the spot.Her words were convincing, and she seemed to be asking questions, and she said to the old lady with a cold face: "Old lady, back then, this concubine wanted to tell your brother about kissing the Jinzhou Commander Wu's girl, that's what the old lady said to this concubine." , this concubine should remember correctly!"

The old lady murmured: "Isn't this old man just discussing with his son-in-law, it hasn't been settled yet..."

"Have you ever heard a saying, the concubine? The matchmaker's words are ordered by my parents. Things are still uncertain. There is no marriage certificate and no letter from the matchmaker. How can I use it to insult my boudoir?"

Daiyu's seemingly thin body is like a green bamboo in a mountain stream, she would rather bend than bend.Wu Yin's soft voice clearly refuted Li Taifei's inappropriate remarks, and even asked at the end: "I don't know what the queen mother would think if she heard these words of the concubine's mother? "Book of Rites" is a good book. The book, the concubine might as well read it carefully in her spare time!"

At the end of the conversation, Daiyu remembered what the little fat man said to her: "Everything is mine, and I won't let you be wronged again!"

Concubine Li insulted her again and again, and used rumors to attack the reputation of Jia and Lin, and she didn't intend to bear it anymore.

As Daiyu's voice fell, the originally bustling Rongxi Hall became silent.My God, this daughter of the Lin family is so powerful that she dares to bully the prince and concubine!
Standing behind Dowager Li, a nanny scolded sharply: "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude to the empress dowager, you little minister. It really is Gusu Lin's family. They are so well-bred. The Rongguo Mansion is so well-bred!"

Concubine Li also snorted coldly, picked up the teacup with no expression on her face, and slowly sipped the tea.

Mother Jia glanced at Daiyu with dissatisfaction, and then said apologetically to Concubine Li: "It's okay to be taught by the old man, this granddaughter has a straight temper, and I ask the concubine to forgive me... Yu'er, don't hurry up and admit your mistake to the concubine. !"

"I am not wrong, how do I admit it?"

Daiyu proudly raised her small face, stood up straight and said leisurely: "The Lin family of Gusu is the fifth prince. The Jia family of Ningrong is the head of the eight princes who founded the country. My father is the son of the Lin family, Yijia Tanhualang, and my mother is the son of Rong Guo. Daughter, the empress dowager praises the beauty and beauty. What about the Lin family and the Jia family, when will it be your turn, a slave woman, to talk?"

She put aside Concubine Li and aimed her fire at the nanny who had just scolded her: "You better think it through before you speak. My father is a third-rank official in the imperial court, and my uncle is Rong Enbo, who was appointed by a saint. What about the Lin family? What about the Jia family?" ? I don’t know if you, a slave, dare to repeat what you just said?”

The atmosphere in Rongxi Hall was full of gunpowder. Although Daiyu was just a thin and small girl, she couldn't hold back the tall person standing behind her.

Not to mention his father Lin Ruhai, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, just the one who is lying in the Dongkua courtyard is enough for people in the capital to stay away.

Concubine Wu of the Beijing Prince's Mansion is almost regretting it to death. How could her son Shui Rong obey Prince Yizhong Liu Ye's words and come to Rongguo Mansion with Li Shi, a mad woman, today.

Sure enough, she was born as a maid, so she can't get on the stage!
She was about to turn around, but she saw Mrs. Xing who was sitting next to her dissatisfied and said, "How is Miss Lin's upbringing? This concubine, the future mother-in-law, has no objections. What are you worrying about in Prince Yizhong's house? It seems that the concubine The concubine came to trouble my family today, the concubine is not as high as the concubine concubine, this matter may as well be discussed by my master and Prince Yizhong, no matter how bad it is, the concubine will not be able to stay idle People, let Brother Cong pay a visit to Prince Yizhong's mansion another day, and listen to the prince's high-level remarks!"

Madam Xing is also a straightforward person, since she married into Rongguo Mansion, few people in the whole family take her as a big wife seriously.

But the past few years are different. Although Jia Cong is not close to her, the respect and filial piety that he should have has never been lacking, and he will give her filial piety to her as soon as he gets any good things. In the past few years, it has only been sent to her. There is also a lot of silver.

Besides, Elder She called her over last night and told her that he must take good care of the girls in the family so as not to embarrass the Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia has too many scruples in her heart, but Mrs. Xing is different.She is a paper uncle who doesn't even bother to leave the house, and she, Concubine Li, can't control the inner courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, so why dare not offend her?

Besides, the whole capital has been inquiring, except for the two supreme beings in the palace, who is my master afraid of?
After messing with Miss Lin, believe it or not, Brother Cong would dare to wear that imperial gift and go to Prince Yizhong's mansion?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mrs. Xing, who had a thick waist, became more rigid in her words, and in the end she even went against her usual caution and gave the nanny a cold look.

She got up and came to Daiyu's side, hugged her in her arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Miss Lin, I'll take you to find your uncle and brother Cong right away, how can you be bullied and wronged by others at home?" reason!"

Daiyu's heart warmed, and she choked up a little and said: "Auntie, I am not wronged..."

What Daiyu was looking forward to the most was for her grandmother to come out to defend her, even if it was just a word, but she never expected that it would be the old lady who asked her to apologize, but the eldest aunt she had been neglecting insisted on defending herself against Concubine Li.

Concubine Li's complexion became even worse. Your Jia family has received the favor from my family, and this is why Jia Yuanchun is happy to be a concubine, but you don't even have any gratitude at all.

My son's people and wealth in the south of the Yangtze River were ruined by Lin Ruhai all over the place. I just took out my anger on Lin's daughter, but I was taught by such a stupid woman...

"Mrs. Rongguo, the Rongguo Mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Your daughter-in-law is really majestic!"

Mother Jia didn't dare to offend Concubine Li, let alone Prince Yizhong's residence.

The bloody night of Zhaowu's 49th year and the silence of Jia's family for several years have scared her out of courage and even broken her spine.

The old lady shouted angrily: "Master, what are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to the concubine!"

"Mother didn't say anything wrong? Why do you want to apologize?"

The door curtain was lifted, and the cold winter wind blew in through the crack of the door, causing everyone in the room to shrink their necks.

Jia Cong stepped over the threshold and walked in, bowed to Mother Jia and several elders, and then stood beside Mrs. Xing.

"Ouch!"

Thumping, Xiao Tuanzi, who followed Jia Cong in, fell to the ground, Wang Xifeng quickly picked him up, and softly comforted Xichun who was about to shed tears...

Jia Cong explained to Daiyu in a low voice: "Sister Xi secretly ran to the front yard to look for me, saying that someone was bullying you. I hurried and hurried, and finally caught up. Don't worry, I have everything!"

Then he grinned at Mrs. Xing again: "Mother said well, there is no reason to be bullied and suffer such unnecessary grievances in my own home!"

In fact, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but feel uneasy. She also obeyed the order of the Elder She to forcibly stand out. Concubine Li really couldn't do anything to her, but she couldn't stand the big mountain pressing on her in Rongxi Hall.

Fortunately, the little fat man who has always been "lawless", you see the fat orange cat with the pattern on his chest, squinting his eyes and holding his hands, is he mocking Mrs. Li Taifei and others who look down on her, Mrs. Rong Enbo?

When the old lady saw Jia Cong coming in, she couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her temples.The eldest son is easy to talk about, but this little magic star wears too many imperial gifts, and she has to worry about the opinions of the two saints in the palace.

Dai Quan had warned himself that day, and the old lady had no choice but to fear the grandson of the demon star.

Just when the old lady didn't know what to do, Jia Cong had already met Concubine Li.

Jia Cong cupped his hands in a perfunctory way and said, "Ma'am, I will go into the palace and talk to the Empress Dowager about my sister Lin's upbringing. After all, it is the two female officials given by the Empress Dowager who are in charge of teaching Sister Lin. Before that, it's better to deal with one thing today, otherwise my thoughts will not flow through, and I won't be able to sleep well!"

Without waiting for Concubine Li to respond, Jia Cong looked coldly at the nanny standing behind Concubine Li, and shouted sharply: "Old witch, dare to bully Sister Lin in Rongguo Mansion, do you really think there is no one in the Jia family?"
