Chapter 366 Mrs. Wang: This is really a great wealth...

After Jia Heng left, in the inner hall, the princess took the arm of Princess Jinyang and said in a waxy voice, "Mother, how will we spend this young year?"

Princess Jinyang said softly, "Live as you want."

Mentioning the past years, I can't help but feel a little lost. In the past years, I stayed with the orphan girl in this huge princess mansion. It was deserted and miserable. Although I had him this year, I still had to guard an orphan girl in the mansion. It's just...with reliance and sustenance.

Keenly aware of the disappointment of the eldest princess of Jinyang, Li Chanyue pouts her pink lips, showing a little girl's sweetness and innocence in front of the eldest princess, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I always feel that you seem to be complaining. I?"

The eldest princess of Jinyang turned to look at the little princess with peach cheeks and almond eyes, rubbed the air bangs on the girl's forehead, and said softly: "Silly boy, why do you blame you for your mother? You are because of the meat that fell from your mother's body." , I have nothing to complain about for my mother."

Li Chanyue said: "I heard from the mansion that Mr. Jia often comes to the mansion recently?"

Even though the eldest princess of Jinyang gave the gag order among the surrounding nuns and maidservants, Jia Heng often ran to the eldest princess's mansion these days, which was a fact that could not be concealed after all.

"His elder sister is here to help take care of the business, so come and take a look." A flash of panic flashed in Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes, but her expression remained calm, she took Li Chanyue's little hand, and said softly, "Chanyue."

"What's the matter, mother?" Li Chanyue asked.

Princess Jinyang took Li Chanyue's hand, came to a side room to sit down, and said: "Let's talk about our own things."

The two sat on the Arhat bed.

Li Chanyue frowned, and said softly: "Mother, what do you say?"

Princess Jinyang smiled, and said: "It may have been many years to guard such a big princess mansion for my mother all these years."

Li Chanyue faintly realized what her mother was going to say, and felt a little uneasy, she said: "Mother, these years have not been easy."

The eldest princess of Jinyang sighed: "Our family has a lot of property and a lot of money. I don't know how many people in Shenjing City miss our orphans and widowed mothers. If it wasn't for your grandmother to protect us, mother would not know how to support us." come down."

Li Chanyue nodded, and said softly: "Mother, I know, so Mother used to support those scholars in order to get a good reputation and accumulate some incense for the future."

When Princess Jinyang heard the words, she rubbed Li Chanyue's head and said with a smile, "Chanyue has grown up, that's what Niangyuan meant."

Then, he sighed and said: "But those people are mostly coveting the wealth of the Princess Mansion, and even hide dirty thoughts in their hearts. After a long time, they often see no profit. After they get fame, they seldom interact with each other."

Li Chanyue was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "Mother, I think Mr. Jia is different from others, if Mother likes him..."

This is a temptation.

It wasn't that she couldn't understand that boy, but she just couldn't accept that a boy not much older than herself would become her stepfather one day.

Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "It's not what you think, I'm already a young lady, why do I like him, besides, he already has a family, if he didn't have a family, my mother would still want you to betroth me What about him?"

At the end, an imperceptible blush flashed across her cheeks. After all, she opened her eyes and told nonsense in front of her own daughter.

Not only did she like that little man, but she almost fell in love with him to the bone.

In the past few months, it seems like a dream, meeting such a favorite person can't be more desirable.

Li Chanyue snorted softly, and said: "Mr. Jia is indeed a rare man in the world, both civil and military, and outstanding in strategy. In fact, even if he gets married, my daughter doesn't mind."

Said deliberately, observing his mother's face again.

She said earlier that she liked Jia Heng, but her mother clearly didn't believe it.

Princess Jinyang looked normal, shook her head, and said, "You can't be a concubine."

Instead, he asked: "Last time, your cousin Xianning seemed interested in him?"

Li Chanyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Cousin Xianning, it's impossible for someone to be a concubine."

A thoughtful look appeared on Princess Jinyang's face, and she murmured: "Yes, it's a pity."

This is the marriage predicament of the emperor and daughter of the royal family. Under normal circumstances, why can't someone be a concubine?Otherwise, it will hinder the face of the royal family.

Thinking about it carefully, she is also in a very good situation now. Although she is not as good as an ordinary couple, she is more...closer than a couple.

Thinking of the domineering and powerful little man in the bed, Princess Jinyang was a little dazed for a while, and her body felt a little hot.

Li Chanyue said: "Sister Xianning urged me the day before yesterday that the second volume of Mr. Jia's Three Kingdoms has not been released for some time, when will it be published?"

Princess Jinyang withdrew her chaotic thoughts, and said with a light smile, "He's too busy these days, if he comes over in a few days, you can ask him."

Li Chanyue's starry eyes flickered, observing her mother's expression, her suspicions completely dissipated.

It seems that these days, nothing happened to the two of them.

On this side, the carriage that Jia Heng and Yuan Chun were riding in, heard the sound of rattles, the carriage drove through the street paved with bluestone slabs, in the carriage, Jia Heng and Yuan Chun were sitting side by side, the soft fragrance of powder and powder permeated the carriage, Time passed slowly in silence.

Because they were only sitting next to each other, Yuan Chun's delicate body was a little stiff, Xue Ni's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her breathing was unavoidably a little short.

Jia Heng seemed to be aware of it, turned his eyes to look at Yuan Chun, and asked with concern: "Big sister, are you okay these days?"

Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes lowered her shy eyes, and said gently and softly: "Everything is fine, how about brother Heng? Why haven't you seen brother Heng coming to the Princess Palace these days?"

In fact, I knew it well, it must be because the little princess came back from the palace, and I was worried about being bumped into by the little princess.

Thinking of this, and looking at the young man opposite, my mood is a bit complicated.

Even if you are the eldest princess, you can't see anyone.

Facing the gentle, watery, even slightly maternal loving gaze, although Jia Heng's complexion was as dark as water, there was something strange in his heart, and he said in a warm voice: "These two days are relatively busy, so I haven't passed it, and it's not good to say it all the time." Annoy Princess Jinyang."

In fact, some want to ask, "Big sister, is it you who peeked outside the door that day?"

But he was also worried that his words would cause embarrassment to the two of them, so he didn't want to ask rashly.

In fact, Yuan Chun has been a female official in the palace for many years, so she should not be a little girl who has never seen anything. This is why he told Princess Jinyang not to hide Yuan Chun too much.

Yuan Chunqing knew that this was the young man's cover-up words, so he didn't pierce it, so as not to hurt the young man's self-esteem. He nodded, with crystal clear eyes, bright flowing waves, pink lips lightly parted, and said with a pun: "Brother Heng It’s been a hard time.”

Not to mention the need to deal with the three major government affairs on weekdays, but also to accompany the princess at noon every day, I don't know if Brother Heng's body is so hard, can he bear it?

Thinking about the iron body...

From the corner of his bright eyes, he glanced at the young man, and his eyes fell down, somehow thinking of the scene of being bullied by this man in the dream the day before yesterday, his eyes wandered, and his heart trembled.

In fact, Yuan Chun grew up reading the secret history of the palace in the palace, and had extraordinary knowledge. Not to mention dirty Tang Dynasty stinky men, but brothers and sisters in the royal families of all dynasties.

Kuang Yuanchun and Jia Heng are only of the same family, and they are already far away in Wufu, so they didn't think about it, but they were psychologically and morally repulsed and loathed.

But Yuanchun will follow the self-requirements that start from love and end with courtesy.

If it is the ethics and morality of later generations, the blood relationship between Baoyu and Chaidai belongs to three generations of blood relatives, which is a genus of rebellion, but there is no problem with the same family of Wufu.

But the mainstream view of the ancient world is that the same surname should not marry, and the pressure is more from the secular world.

Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "This afternoon, Keqing is going to invite a group of sisters to roast venison in Huifang Garden. The elder sister will eat it when she goes back."

In fact, he also asked people to cook hot pot on a charcoal stove, and they could eat venison slices.

Yuan Chun smiled calmly on his crystal-clear face, stared at the young man opposite, and said softly: "Brother Heng, then I'm lucky."

Secretly thought, when she was free in the palace, she read the medical books of Shangyao Bureau, according to which, deer blood has the effect of strengthening yang, how could she gently persuade Brother Heng to drink more?

For a while, I was also a little distressed.

The two had different thoughts and had nothing to say all the way.

However, on Rongning Street, several carriages were parked outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Under the service of a group of servants and servants, several women dismounted from the horses. The leader was a woman who was over forty years old and wore a silk dress. , with a rich face and fair skin, Wang Ziteng's son Wang Yi's daughter-in-law is beside him.

"Nurse Zhen, we're here." Wang Yi's daughter-in-law said softly.

"It's time to work." Madam Zhen said, her eyes lingering on the plaque hanging on the Rongguo Mansion that read "Imperially build the Rongguo Mansion".

The King of Chu finally got the concubine Zhen Qing of Chu, and then invited Nanny Zhen to come to the door. First, he greeted Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in advance, and Wang Yi's wife came to matchmaking.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law said politely: "Nurse, you don't have to be polite, it was originally a good thing for the two families to get closer."

While speaking, he got close to the door, and the servants of the Rong Mansion reported inside.

Not long after, Zhou Rui's family walked out of the gate with a smile, and welcomed Wang Yi's daughter-in-law and Nanny Zhen from the Chu Palace.

Honor Hall

Jiamu was talking and laughing with Sister Feng, Li Wan, Yingchun, Tanchun, Baoyu, Daiyu, Xiangyun and others. Mrs. Wang was also sitting beside her, and Aunt Xue and Baochai were sitting on the embroidered pier beside her.

Because tomorrow is the new year, except for Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang, who are a little bit busy to clean up their years, everyone will be free.

Mother Jia was obviously in a good mood today, and Sister Feng was chatting and laughing with her, the smile lines on her face never disappeared from the beginning to the end.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I heard that Keqing invited a host to let you go over to eat venison together in the afternoon. Is it roasted or boiled?"

Sister Feng's Guazi had a bright and charming smile on her face, and said: "Old ancestor, it's not true, it is said that it is cut into slices, roasted, boiled, I don't know how delicious it is."

When Baoyu heard this, Man Yue's face lit up with joy, and she asked, "Who did Sister Heng invite?"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Sisters, go over."

Sister Feng looked at Baoyu and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, I will ask Dongfu to send you a piece of meat, and let Xiren and Sheyue roast it for you."

Jia Mu took over the conversation with a smile and said, "If Baoyu is free, you can also go to the lively scene."

Sister Feng laughed and said: "Old lady, many of the East Mansion are female relatives, there are also two concubines of Brother Heng's son, maidservants and so on, Brother Bao is also grown up, if they go there, it will not be so cheap."

It can be said that the concubine's room is the second sister and third sister You, and the maid in the same room is Qingwen.

Almost all interested people in the eastern and western mansions saw it. Even though Second Sister You and Third Sister You didn't live in the house, they were undoubtedly concubines with Jia Heng. As for Qingwen, it was originally given to Jia Heng by Jia's mother.

When Jia Mu heard this, she was silent for a moment and sighed.

Mrs. Wang quietly watched this scene with an ugly expression on her face.

Sister Feng quickly changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Tomorrow is a new year, old lady, do you want to invite a troupe to be lively?"

Jia Mu said with a smile: "You look at the operation, it needs to be lively."

After Sister Feng intentionally changed the atmosphere, Rongqing Hall regained a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

And when everyone in Rongqing Hall was chatting and laughing, a woman from the outside came in and said: "Old lady, Young Mistress Wang Jiayi and Mother Zhen from Prince Chu's Mansion have come to visit you, and you are old."

As soon as this remark came out, Mother Jia was taken aback, and asked, "Brother Yi, daughter-in-law, is she coming here at this time? Well, why is there still Mother Zhen from Prince Chu's Mansion?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old lady, you forgot that the eldest daughter of the Zhen family married King Qiansui of Chu a few years ago. Maybe it's the New Year's Eve. I'm here to greet you."

The Zhen family and the Jia family are family friends. In the original novel of the Red Chamber, the Zhen family even entrusted the stolen money confiscated and returned to the treasury by the Jia family, which shows the deep friendship between the two families.

"Yes, look at my memory." Jia Mu smiled and said, "Feng girl, Yuanyang, you two will meet me for me."

In the name of Jia's mother, Mrs. Rong Guotai, except for the arrival of Princess Chu, will come out of Rongqing Hall to greet her. She is just a nun, and she really doesn't pay much attention. , which conforms to the principle of equivalence.

Sister Feng responded with a smile, and went out with the mandarin ducks to meet Wang Yi's daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law of the Zhen family.

Seeing the bewildered and confused faces of the little girls in the room, Mother Jia smiled and said, "You are young and don't know our relatives. The Zhen family is also our old relatives. There were originally five young girls, two married After leaving the capital, there are currently three at home, and the two daughters who came to the capital have become princesses, one is married to the king of Chu, and the other is married to the king of Beijing."

Mrs. Wang's eyes moved slightly, hearing Jia's mother's words, her heart was not without jealousy, with a slight smile on her fair face, she said with emotion: "This is really a great wealth."

Jia's mother laughed and said: "Her family is an old emperor, and has a deep friendship with the palace. There is also an old concubine in the palace, who is the only one who is favored and favored. When the great grandfather visited the south, the Zhen family would pick him up. Four times."

Tanchun listened to Jia Mu's words, and Daiyu looked at each other,

As for Baochai who was sitting next to her, her apricot eyes flashed, and she sighed inwardly, the Zhen family and the Jia family are the noble families of first-class dukes, and the families of other people can't compare to them.

While the few people were talking, they saw Sister Feng and Ping'er leading a rich-looking and luxuriously dressed nanny in, followed by Wang Yi's wife.

"Greetings to the old lady." The nun said with a smile as soon as she entered the Rongqing hall, "The old lady has always been fine."

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law also came forward to salute Jia's mother, and then Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue saluted one by one.

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, why didn't your princess come, I haven't seen her for some days."

Mother Zhen said: "My concubine originally wanted to come in person, but she occasionally feels a little sick, and she will be raised at home. She will come over to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai after the New Year's Eve."

Princess Chu Zhen Qing, although she agreed to Chu Wang Na Yuanchun as a side concubine because of the overall situation of winning over the Jia family, but it does not mean that she is really happy to see her husband enter the backyard, let alone come to help her husband find "" little wife".

Jia Mu said, "I have invited the doctor."

Mother Zhen said: "The imperial doctor of the Imperial Palace Hospital has consulted for a consultation, and there is nothing serious."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Several people greeted each other and sat down one after another.

 This is yesterday's update.
