It has been more than thirty years, and it was a lady from a small house more than ten years ago. After more than ten years, I passed it by saying that life was like sand slipping between my fingers. From girls to women, middle-aged women, it turned out that it was just a blink of an eye. That period of time appeared in a dream, as if it was still there, but it was far away.

Youshi remembered that first her mother passed away and her father re-split her. The stepmother brought her two sisters, You Erjie and You Sanjie. With her outstanding appearance and gentle temperament, she became Jia Zhen's concubine in Ningguo Mansion. She married a wife and a virtuous concubine and married a concubine. Later, when the wife died, she successfully stood out among all the concubines and became a house-filling house. Her parents' affairs and various things were handled in a normal manner.

When did the days of staying alone in the empty bedroom? It was probably after Peifeng and Luan entered the house, and they were young, so Jia Zhen stayed in their room. Although she was just respectful to him, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. However, the eldest wife should not be jealous and should consider the children. Jia Rong was born by her dead wife, not by her, and she could not be rich by her mother, so she could tolerate everything, and she could only tolerate it.

You Shi lay flat on the eight-step bed, her light green stand-up collar outlined her extremely mature body. It was a delicate body that was more mature than Li Wan, with a ripe peach, a round and plump chest, her skin was shining, and her neck was so white that she could clearly see the blue veins. She turned her head slightly, even though the lantern had been turned off, and with the moonlight and eyes that were not much light, she still knew that he was having fun with the other two women, because she heard the laughter of laughter.

...

Many of the shops on Ningrong Street are related to the Jia family. The powerful families do not do business by themselves, and scholars, farmers, industry and business are at the end. The decisions of the court's policies have affected the social atmosphere. The scholars' families are not willing to become merchants no matter how far apart, even if the merchants can make money. However, if they do not do business, they can be asked to manage by their servants on their behalf. Not only the Jia family, this situation is very common in the capital. People who open large businesses, pawn shops, money shops, antique shops, etc. are mostly from the powerful families, either masters or relatives with decent slaves.

The son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family is Leng Zixing, who runs an antique business. "Mrs. Jia passed away in Yangzhou City, and Leng Zixing gave a speech on Rongguo Mansion." It is the latter.

A "Shunmin Store" on the street was run by the servants of the East Mansion. Sun Fu hired the young housekeeper Yu Lu, Bao Er, Jia Zhen's servant Xier and Shouer. They were on duty to change shifts. Lai Sheng, the general manager, but Sun Fu couldn't invite him, so how could he like him?

Good wine and meat were invited, and the cost of silver was one or three hundred yuan. Sun Fu was secretly in pain. After half of the wine and food, everyone was drunk. Sun Fu laughed and said, "Don't be polite, we are both slaves in the Jia family, so we should be in contact. Xi'er and Shou'er, you two are the confidants of Mr. Zhen. Do you know how the two concubines of Mr. Zhen came from?"

Xier was drunk and lay on the table: "What are you doing? Disease comes from your mouth, disaster comes from your mouth, and sleeps back to your stomach is serious."

When Shou'er heard this, she became excited, half drunk and half awake, and walked around the table and said proudly: "I'm looking for the right person, I'll tell you..."

The voice became weaker and everyone looked at him. Sun Fu quickly raised his ears, and Shou'er said more and more proudly: "Do you know about Jiaofangsi? Aunt Peifeng was originally an official prostitute of Jiaofangsi!"

Yu Lu didn't believe it. He and Bao Er were both small housekeepers. The inside story was not as good as the trusted servants. They were mostly busy with work, and Shouer followed Jia Zhen and said, "This is nonsense! How can I redeem myself at any time in the Jiafangsi? I have less knowledge? There are all officials who have committed crimes and confiscated houses. The Ministry of Justice manages documents and crimes. Can you redeem them?"

Sun Fu ate melon seeds with relish: Say it quickly! Say it quickly! Wasting my money for wine!

Shou'er glanced at Yu Lu contempt, rolled up her sleeves, and spitted: "You fatty butler! You said I have little knowledge! What is our East Mansion? Grandpa Zhen's third-rank general, great-rank general (Jia Jing) was a Jinshi, Grandpa Zhen's grandfather (Jia Daihua) was a first-rank general Shenwei and the governor of the Jingying, and great-grandfather Ningguo's great-grandfather, a great-grandfather, was not easy to redeem an official prostitute. Uncle Zhen only informed the Minister of Justice at that time, and released it. The money was confiscated. Do you know why the Minister of Justice dared to release people?"

Yes, it's impossible. Sun Fu thought, how could the house that the emperor ordered was raided to be released casually? Mr. Zhen, does the Minister of Justice want to live? What kind of official was the one who was raided?

Sun Fu scratched his ears and faces, Shou'er was still keeping him in hiding, Sun Fu wanted to punch him: Say it! Say it quickly! Bao Er couldn't help it first: "Speak it quickly! I haven't heard of this yet!"

Bao Er, the little housekeeper, was later given to Jia Lian by Jia Zhen. In fact, Jia Zhen was placed in You Erjie's inner support. At that time, Jia Lian married You Erjie. Jia Zhen did this so that he wanted to cooperate with him inside and outside to steal You Sanjie. In addition, Bao Er's wife was stolen by Jia Lian. At that time, Wang Xifeng came out on her birthday and was caught on the spot, which caused "unexpected change in Feng Jie was jealous". Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's husband and wife became worse and worse. Bao Er's wife hanged herself because she was afraid of Wang Xifeng. In fact, Jia Lian wanted to get involved in Bao Er's wife. No matter whether she wanted to do it or not, she could not resist at all. Bao Er was a drunkard. He just made a fortune and achieved a well-off life with his wife.

When Shouer was drunk, she couldn't keep her mouth shut. The so-called paper cannot cover the fire. What is the place in Ningguo Mansion? Jiao Da, who is seventy-eighty, could shout to his master, "The one who raises the ashes, the one who raises the brother-in-law, the one who raises the brother-in-law" in Liu Xianglian's mouth, "Only the two stone lions in front of the door are clean." Because of this, Sun Fu came up with this plan, causing them to speak the truth after drinking.

Shou'er was dancing with a smile. This kind of "I know a lot" show made him very happy: "Are you very puzzled? It's a long story. In the mansion of the eunuch Dai, the eunuch in the Silijian, I ordered me to send a lot of antiques and treasures. The Minister of Justice was the mansion of Eunuch Dai. Mr. Zhen gave me a prophet to know Eunuch Dai, and Eunuch Dai would just go there with one sentence..."

With his hand on his lips, he whispered more and more: "It's not that I'm talking nonsense, but the words of my father-in-law are more effective than imperial edicts!"

Like the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet of Shun Dynasty had the power to entrust votes and the Lijians had the power to approve the red. When these eunuchs were at their peak, they were able to compete with the foreign court and even monopolize the government. Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty were all famous and respected as "internal ministers".

When Qin Keqing died in the Red Chamber, Dai Quan came to see him in person. Jia Zhen gave him silver and easily bought a fifth-rank dragon ban lieutenant for his son Jia Rong. Why is it "Qin Keqing's death and the dragon ban lieutenant"? Jia Zhen just wanted the tablet to look good, so that Qin Keqing's tablet could be written with "Mrs. Fifth-rank dragon ban lieutenant".

It is not a problem to have a relationship between the court and the title of the fifth rank.

Sun Fu could not get in touch with that level, so he naturally didn't understand it very much. It was Dai Quan's own decision or the emperor's order. There was a big difference here, but he just needed to report back to Mr. Cong truthfully.

"Oh, so that's it." Sun Fu blinked his eyes, "admiring" Shou'er's "learning". Yu Lu and others suddenly realized and listened to his words quietly. There were no outsiders in this occasion, so they dared to say what their master said. You must know that Jia Zhen could not even hide the ashes. Whenever something happened to the East Mansion, the servants immediately rumored, so it was not surprising that Sun Fu could find out the news.

Shou'er drank another glass of wine, her face flushed: "When it comes to Aunt Peifeng's family background, it is neither big nor small. She is the ambassador of the Ministry of Revenue's stolen money warehouse. She is in charge of the money she sent for the house. Perhaps she is too greedy... Her family has also been sent for stolen..."

The Ministry of Revenue’s stolen ambassador is not a high-ranking official. For example, the Salt Transportation Department also has an ambassador to the verification ambassador. Such ambassadors are called nicely, and their ranks are not up to standard, but they are also an official. Jia Zhen is afraid that he would not take such a small official seriously and dare to do that.

Shou'er also talked about the process of getting to know Jia Zhen and Aunt Pei Feng. After all, they followed Jia Zhen at that time. It turned out that they saw it in the Jiaofangsi. Although the official explicitly prohibited officials from staying in prostitution, the law is one thing, and the reality is another. Those officials are going to appreciate their talents in an open manner, and money and sex transactions are already very common in secret.

Sun Fu asked about Xie Luan again, and Shou'er said with a romance: "It was a time when Mr. Zhen sent Grandma Zhen home and fell in love with a girl from a small family. The family didn't want her own girl to be a concubine, so after being coercive and tempted, she passed away."

It is illegal to marry an official woman as a concubine, and it is no wonder that Xie Luan belongs to a small family. After talking for a long time, the cup was in a mess. Sun Fu deliberately beat him and said, "Butler Yu, your salary is quite good? There are several villages in the suburbs of the East Mansion..."

"Stop flattering, you monkey head, I'm just a little housekeeper." Yu Lu cursed and said jealously: "There are eight or nine villages in the East Mansion, but where is my turn to take charge? There are eighteen or nine villages in the two public residences, but in the spring and autumn, it is Zhou Rui's house. It is the second wife of the West Mansion... and Lin Zhixiao... I heard that many tenants complained that they were dissatisfied. The rent they collected was too high. How much money do you think they were greedy? I just hope that they would quit the stage and I could also make a fortune for a few years..."

Sun Fu touched his chin and thought to himself: "Zhou Rui was involved in the Western Palace, so it was difficult to touch him. Lin Zhixiao was in charge of Uncle Zhen. They must have deducted too much. I have to go and see it myself. With so many handles, Mr. Cong should be satisfied, so I don't know what Mr. Cong wants to do?"

...

She was sick three or four times. In order to avoid paying tribute to her father-in-law, her husband Jia Rong also urged her to serve medicine with her. That time, Jia Zhen touched her hand. She hurriedly took it back and knocked over the cup and plate. Jia Zhen did not pity the precious official kiln porcelain, but instead grabbed her hand and said it was burned? The scorching gaze was not concealed at all. She was panicked. What should I do?

Otherwise, the Red Mansion World has the style of the Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated that if parents complained about their sons being unfilial or even beaten to death, the government would think it was reasonable. The children of this era had no human rights. Even if Jia Rong knew about it, she was helpless, and she was only bored.

After about three or two days of returning, Jia Zhen actually came to visit her in person. Her father-in-law was extremely luxurious to all the items she needed. As soon as he entered the outside room, Qin Keqing saluted, and Jia Zhen stared at the pearls that lifted the curtain and the Ruizhu that put on tea. The two girls felt a thump. They looked at each other and ran out. Uncle Zhen was a king in the East Mansion, turning the Ningguo Mansion over? Who doesn't know? When they lost their shadow, Jia Zhen glanced straight at the orchid embroidered collar on her chest inadvertently, and smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, you will get better if you get tired. What should you do if you are tired?"

This unreasonable concern or excessive condolence made her panic. Qin Keqing frowned lightly and did not dare to look up at him. "How dare Qinshi trouble her father-in-law visiting her in person? This is because her daughter-in-law is unfilial."

"Oh... etiquette is for outsiders to see. Without outsiders, it will be better. Well... In this way, the weather will warm up. In a few days, I will hold a banquet in Tianxiang Tower, drink and enjoy flowers, and you will also go out to relax and relax. Maybe the disease will be cured. How about it?" Jia Zhen said dissatisfied and smiled: "Don't worry, no one knows what you know, what will happen if you know?"

Qin Keqing's face suddenly turned pale. Even if he acted gentle and decently on weekdays, he was the most proud person in Jia Mu's heart and the wife of his great grandson. However, when facing this matter, he had no breakthrough. After a while, he said: "Qin's family dare not disobey."

"Okay! OK! This is the polite and sensible daughter-in-law!" Jia Zhen praised her and was very happy. She said goodbye after a few conversations. He wore a lynx cloak. He was very majestic and calm in his steps, and was full of energy. He had the maturity of a noble man. He played with women and Jia Lian. Jia Lian was basically not chewy. Jia Zhen focused on his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, and his sister-in-law You second sister and You third sister. Each had his own charm. He liked to take it slowly like cooking wine. He would not consider the consequences. I, Jia Jing, went to the temple to practice immortality. Who else could I do if I could do it?

With a clang, the porcelain tea cup fell to the ground.

Ruizhu and Baozhu came in: "Grandma..." But when she saw her lying on the ground without her usual demeanor, she began to have a dull eyes and a blood-colored face. Then she shook her head and said, "I'm fine..."

She called them to retreat to the next room to rest. Her graceful figure strolled to the dressing table, and sat down blankly, thinking: "He tried to take care of me first. Mr. Xiaorong was completely unable to make decisions in front of him, so that I felt guilty... After a while, it was both coercion and temptation. I thought that my family from a small family was useless to resist, and secondly, my eyes were shallow... Will I fall? But didn't he think that if I serve their father and son, I would have the only way to die? Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing, what face do you have at that time? Where is your strong heart? Where? My junior brother is thinking about me, but what can he have to do to drag him down..."

Baozhu whispered in the next door, and Ruizhu said sadly: "Miss Baozhu, you and I are insiders. Uncle Zhen will not let us go, we can only die."

Only when Baozhu choked, the comb in Qin Keqing's hand fell unknowingly, "You can't even maintain a girl... I have a full family philosophy and have earned so much good reputation for nothing, but in the end I will only ruin it. A piece of white silk and a piece of loess..."
