Chapter 288

Rongguofu.

Honor Hall.

Jia Mu changed from her old habit of sitting alone, she chatted and joked a little cautiously with a few old people who were dressed in the same clothes. The same was true for Mrs. Wang below. There were many new faces sitting around, all of them from big families who were looking at Yingchun this time. Ladies.

Even because of Owen, Yingchun's status has risen sharply, but she is born as a concubine. In this era of special emphasis on low-marriage and high-marriage, there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Kyoto, and there are still many people who meet this condition.

"I said, this is too pretentious. What time is it? If you don't come here, let us wait."

"Yes, I haven't waited for anyone except entering the palace to have an audience."

"Come on, come on, Yuanyang, send someone to remind you again."

"Yes."

"Second Grandma is back."

"I want to see how this second girl is. If she is not top-notch in character and appearance, even if she is the elder sister of Zhenjun Chonghua, I don't want to."

"Extremely, extremely. For a family like ours, whoever is married in is poor-looking. It shouldn't make people laugh."

"Birth is not good after all, but Wu'er is good enough for my family."

"Think about good things. The fifth son of your family is also a concubine. You dare to speak up. Aren't you afraid of offending the Rongguo Mansion and Chonghua Zhenjun?"

"Rongguo Mansion, hey!"

Wang Xifeng walked in bravely, bowed and explained the matter, and then faced the sudden silence of the audience, even her breathing slowed down a lot.

"Evil obstacle! Evil obstacle!"

Mother Jia was really angry. She was already very dissatisfied with the situation today. First, she didn't care about Yingchun's marriage. Second, she also knew the reputation of her family outside, and she didn't want to receive outsiders at all. But today, because of Yingchun's wedding attracted so many outsiders, but there were still a few who she couldn't escape and had to respectfully receive and laugh with.

But I didn't expect that after laughing with me for so long, what I waited for was this result. This simply wiped out the last bit of her face, and the news of her loss of power was completely confirmed.

She cursed a few times tremblingly, originally wanted to imitate Jia Baoyu's supernatural powers whenever something happened, rolled her eyes, and then passed out, but she caught a glimpse of the smiling eyes on the other side, and knew that they were just like her, all mature This kind of supernatural power is naturally familiar, so you can't play tricks in front of experts.

Forcibly stopping the movement of raising her head and rolling her eyes, and holding her breath in her throat, Jia Mu apologized with embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, this evil in my family has such a temperament, he is too lawless, he has His Majesty's backing, Even I can't talk about him, hey, he's old, old, useless, and you'll laugh at him."

"Mrs. Rong Guo was joking. How can you blame Zhenjun Chonghua? It's just that our kid is not so lucky. If that's the case, then we will leave."

"That's a big tone. I want to see if all the girls in his family have become monks, practiced Taoism and never married."

"I don't know how to lift."

"Hmph! Let's go too!"

Looking at the wives, some of them played games without smiling, and some directly uttered evil words, which made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang pale and bloodless. The forces represented by these wives even the royal family Be cautious, let alone a "middle family" like them who have gone through three generations of decline.

"Old lady, let me see them off."

Qin Keqing, who had been silent all this time, stood up, smiled slightly at Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and offered to invite Ying.

"well!"

Jia's mother was overjoyed, and she praised: "After all, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is filial, you go and send them off, and tell us about it. This is all caused by Jia Cong's evil, and has nothing to do with us."

"Don't worry, old lady."

A strange smile flashed in Qin Keqing's eyes, she nodded and said, "I'll explain it to them, and they won't blame us."

After speaking, he swayed away.

The next day.

outside Kyoto.

The Xue family's motorcade came meandering.

Xue Pan came galloping on a tall horse, and with Chang Sui's support, got off the horse, walked to the window of the carriage, and laughed loudly: "Mother, sister, happy event, happy event!"

"What happy event?"

Aunt Xue opened the curtain and asked.

"Uncle was promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and he was ordered to go out of the capital to check the frontiers. Is it a happy event?"

Xue Pan said so, but he thought happily in his heart: "I was worried about going to Beijing to be under the jurisdiction of my uncle, so I can't spend it arbitrarily. Now that I am promoted, I know that God obeys people's wishes."

Aunt Xue was overjoyed at first, then frowned, turned to look at Xue Baochai, saw that there was also a strange look in his eyes, she couldn't help discussing: "My son, how can I be like this now? I expected to go to your uncle's house to settle down, but now your uncle As he was promoted to other provinces, the family naturally got up in a hurry, and now we are rushing back and forth, don't we look at each other?"

"What did mother say?"

Xue Pan muttered, "We also have a few houses in Beijing, I'll send someone to clean them up first, let's just live in our own house, why bother relatives."

"Humph!"

Aunt Xue snorted coldly: "I knew what you meant a long time ago. It's too tight to live with my uncle and aunt. It's better to live separately so that I can do whatever I want. In that case, you choose a house to live in, and I I have been away from your aunt and sisters for the past few years, but I have to stay for a few days. I took your sisters to join your aunt's house, how about you?"

"Why is that so?"

Xue Pan sneered and said, "Our house is not far from my uncle and aunt's house. After we settle down, it's not easy for mother to see my aunt. Even if I want to go there every day, I'm willing to pick her up every day."

"Brother, although we have a few houses in Beijing, but no one has lived in them for the past ten years, the guards are secretly renting them out, so where will they clean them up?"

Xue Baochai persuaded: "Furthermore, when we go to Beijing, we first visit relatives and friends. Whether it is uncle's house or uncle's house, the houses of his two families are very spacious. Let's stay here and take our time." Let someone clean it up, why don't you stay calm and don't show off! After all, my brother's lawsuit has just been settled."

"Exactly."

Aunt Xue said happily: "After all, your sister is thoughtful. You should calm down. Although your uncle has been promoted, there is still your uncle's house. Besides, in the past few years, your uncle and aunt have always brought letters and books. Let's come. Now that we're here, although your uncle is busy getting up, your Jia's aunt may not stay with us, so it's strange that we are busy tidying up the house?"

"……All right."

Seeing his mother and sister saying the same thing, Xue Pan knew that he couldn't get over it, so he had no choice but to agree, and ordered people to go straight to Rongguo Mansion all the way.

Since that day, Owen's autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves and wiped out Lai Da, Zhou Rui and other confidantes of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. Although the housekeeping power is still in the hands of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, the government orders have no longer left the Rongqing Hall.

Lin Zhixiao, the current chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion, only listened to Owen alone. Jia She ransacked the house for several 10 taels of silver, and bought a few stunning girls Gao Le that night, and didn't care about these things.

This is also his cleverness, because he knows that even if he wants to intervene, it is useless. Without Owen in front of blocking Jiamu, he can't even keep the few 10 taels.

Mrs. Xing wanted to take care of it, but Lin Zhixiao was not a noob. Someone who could be the treasurer of the bank still had some toughness, and with Owen's backing, he would not care about Mrs. Xing who was not on the stage.

Under Owen's signal, Lin Zhixiao carried out another rectification, severely punishing those servants who were used to being uncles, sending officials to officials, those who were sold, those who were distributed, and the entire Rongguo Mansion. The atmosphere immediately cleared up.

When the water is clear, there are no fish!

Mrs. Wang no longer has the conditions to fish in troubled waters, and she has changed from an amateur to a professional Buddha. This day is not easy, so she looks forward to Aunt Xue's arrival even more, thinking about the day when she will arrive all day long.

this day.

"My aunt brought her brothers and sisters to Beijing and got off the car outside the door."

The servant girl ran in to report the letter, stopped the rosary in Mrs. Wang's hand, stood up in great joy, and took people out to greet her. She took Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and others in, and took her to visit Mother Jia. After some narration, Aunt Xue Asked: "Why don't you see Baoyu?"

"He was called by Prince Beijing."

Mrs. Wang said with a little pride: "I'm going to meet famous people, have a talk, and increase my knowledge. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while."

Aunt Xue heard her sister's intention of showing off. They were originally long-distance visitors, and they relied on Mrs. Wang a lot in the future. Naturally, they flattered and praised Baoyu to the sky.

As a result, the sisters who had been reunited for a long time became closer, needless to say.

Beijing Palace.

Accompanied by Wang Shuirong of Beijing, Jia Baoyu listened to the bragging of all the 'famous scholars', but his eyes were dripping and he looked at the real 'famous scholars' in the field, thinking: "There are such people in the world." Good-looking characters! Looking at it now, I have become a muddy pig and a mangy dog. If I can get close to them, I will be born in this life."

Shui Rong caught a glimpse of Jia Baoyu's absent-mindedness, thought of the rumors he had heard these days, felt itchy in his heart, stopped talking, took Jia Baoyu's hand, and entered the inner house.

Jia Baoyu saw that Shui Rong was wearing a pure white hairpin tassel and silver-winged king hat on his head, a five-clawed dragon white python robe from Jiangya sea water, and a jasper red belt. His face was like beautiful jade, and his eyes were like stars. What a beautiful person, to be treated like this by him Pulling, the heart couldn't help but jump up, letting Shui Rong hold her, his eyes were already infatuated...

"My lord..."

"Baoyu, you and I are in love with each other, and there are no outsiders here, so let's call them brothers, don't be restrained."

"it is good."

"Baoyu, I heard that you were born with a piece of treasure in your mouth. I don't know where it is?"

"Here it is."

"Good baby, it is as precious as jade. It seems to be the size of a bird's egg. No wonder everyone regards it as the lifeblood. Don't go back tonight. We brothers will collapse together and sleep on our feet. You Also give me a drill to see if it works or not, so that I have a chance to broaden my horizons, how about it?"

"My lord..."

"Don't Baoyu look down on me, brother? Do you still call me prince?"

"Brother, good brother, you are such a delicate and exquisite person, if you are willing to patronize me, there is no reason for me not to obey, but this treasure has never been tried, and I don't know if it will work, I'm afraid it will spoil my brother's elegance."

"Don't worry, you were born with jade, and your skills are natural. There is no reason why it won't work. Besides, I will study with you. We have plenty of time."

Jia Baoyu was born with the ability to be subdued, condescending, considerate, and lingering in his words. Seeing someone like Shui Rong value him so much, it was Ye Ye, so he naturally catered to him in every possible way.

midnight.

Shui Rong didn't call anyone, so he leaned forward, took a peach from the table, took a half bite, handed the peach to Baoyu who was lying there, and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a peach in your family from Weiyang." Sister, she is the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection, she is very smart and handsome, she has the appearance of Luoshen, she can be said to be unique in the world, unparalleled in the sky, don't you know for sure?"

"Brother is talking about my sister Lin."

Jia Baoyu couldn't turn over, so he lay there, listening to Shui Rong mentioning Lin Daiyu, without distinguishing things, he praised: "Sister Lin not only has the appearance of Luoshen, but also has the talent of Yi'an, she is really unique in the world, unparalleled in the sky, it's a pity... "

"What a pity?"

A gleam flashed in Shui Rong's eyes.

"It's a pity that she was bewitched by Brother Cong, and I can't get close to her. It's really the biggest regret in my life."

Jia Baoyu sighed melancholy.

"Is Chonghua Zhenjun really a land god?"

Shui Rong asked with burning eyes: "Bao Yu, have you ever seen him use spells?"

"Never."

Jia Baoyu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "But he was born knowing it."

"This is it..."

The corner of Shui Rong's mouth curled up, and he murmured: "It seems that the rumors are indeed true..."

"Brother what did you say?"

Jia Baoyu vaguely heard Shui Rong's words, but couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing."

Shui Rong said with a perfunctory sentence, and said with a meaningful smile: "If there is a chance, I would like to meet you, sister Lin, and meet the Luoshen in Cao Zijian's Luoshen Fu..."

Jia Baoyu was startled, turned his head, saw Shui Rong's eerie smile, and panicked unconsciously, he knew the origin of Luoshen Fu...

Zhongshun Wangfu.

"Is it true?"

King Zhongshun was full of wine and food, and was about to meet a new actor in the troupe, when he suddenly heard Chang Sui's servant mention a secret story, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks, and made a sound of surprise.

"My lord, this is the latest news, I don't know if it's true or not, but the servants of the Rongguo Mansion have always kept their mouths open, so it should be somewhat true. The daughter of the Lin Mansion was invited in by Zhenjun Chonghua as soon as she entered the mansion. I went to the Xiaoxiang Hall next to the Chonghua Temple, and the reason given was that this girl Lin is a Taoist companion bestowed by the heavens to Chonghua Zhenjun, and her Taoist name is Xiaoxiang Concubine."

"Concubine Xiaoxiang, hehe! What's so special about her?"

"She is peerless in appearance, and I heard that she has a poetic talent..."

"Order, the king is going to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow, I want to take a good look at this Concubine Xiaoxiang, hey! Since she is called Concubine Xiaoxiang, she must be destined to our royal family, maybe she is my beloved concubine bestowed by heaven, hahaha! "

"Your Highness is wise!"

Royal Palace.

Emperor Zhengtai finished cross-legged meditation, opened his eyes, his eyes were flickering, and murmured: "The fairy descended to earth, I got her, can I really take the first step to lift Xia to ascend..."
