Chapter 730 Conspiracy
Shenjing West City, Rongguo Mansion. Novels.
At night.
There are three small main rooms under the east corridor of Rongxi Hall, and a side courtyard.
This place was originally the yard of Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, behind the three small main rooms where Mrs. Wang was usually in.
Now Mrs. Wang has entered the Bodhidharma Temple to worship Buddha. In addition to Jia Mu, only Wang Xifeng and Li Wan are left.
But even so, Aunt Zhao didn't dare to jump because she was afraid of Wang Xifeng.
Even though her daughter has entered the palace now, a woman and the prince are excellent brothers, but the inferiority caused by her lowly background is from the bottom of her bones.
Therefore, although she is much more comfortable in the Jia family, she still dares not make trouble, which is a good thing.
This day, it was very lively before, but Aunt Zhao also had her own guests.
Interestingly, Baoyu's name is named Ma Daopo from the Yaowang Temple, but he talks with Aunt Zhao.
Whenever Aunt Zhao got some money, she would give some alms to Ma Daopo, asking her to offer Jia Huan a bowl of eternal lamp oil in front of the Medicine King Buddha.
The Jia family is so lively today. After Ma Daopo came, he sat down in front of Jia Mu and then went straight to Aunt Zhao to pay tribute.
Seeing that Aunt Zhao was still cutting her shoes, she couldn't help but say, "My Bodhisattva! Why are you still doing this?"
Aunt Zhao didn't feel anything. She groaned and said, "If I don't do these, what else do?"
Ma Daopo looked kind and said kindly, and said with a gentle and gentle voice, "The Taoist said that rich people are born rich, but she doesn't think so. I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it when I see my grandmother. Now the princes and princesses in Shenjing are envious of grandmother's great fortune. Grandma himself doesn't think so, but she still manages these things. Oh! It's really Amitabha Buddha. Who will believe it if it is spread?"
Aunt Zhao looked happy when she heard this, she looked forward and said, "Is it really praising me outside?"
Ma Daopo clapped his hands and cursed: "If there is a lie, he will fall into the hell of the nose and go to the oil pan to the mountain of knife!"
Aunt Zhao smiled even more and more when she heard this, she said in a fake way: "Oh, look at what you are doing? The people in front of you Buddha should not swear randomly, otherwise it will be easy to fulfill!"
Daopo Ma: “…”
Aunt Zhao said beautifully again: "It turns out that the princes and marquises in Chang'an City are praising me for being so lucky? How did they praise me? Oh, what kind of lucky do I have? But I just gave birth to such a pair of children!"
Daopo Ma: “…”
Although I wish I could give the squeaky face to the Buddha, I didn't show it because I had something in my heart. Instead, I smiled and said with a pity: "Grandma's words are right. Isn't grandma's life's blessing on my brother? Now, who is not envious of the noble decrees in the capital now? I don't need to say more about my sister. Although I have not yet obtained a position, no one can tell anyone who is discerning. In the future, there will be no less imperial concubine, even if it is a noble concubine, it is possible. Then brother, I don't need to mention it. Grandma is afraid that I don't know yet? Now, the Wuxun Yanei in Chang'an is headed by Huan Ge'er!"
"puff!"
Aunt Zhao was eating a cup of tea when she heard this, she sprayed out a mouthful of Lu'an tea that was about to enter her mouth.
What's even more hateful is that others lose their composure to tea and quickly turn to the side. Only Aunt Zhao was eating tea on the side, as if she didn't want someone to share her good tea. When she squirted, she faced someone...
Ma Daopo silently wiped the tea with a few pieces of tea leaves on his face, and squeezed out a reluctant smile.
Aunt Zhao hurriedly apologized and said, "Oh! Look at me, lard is so fascinated. It's hard to spit it out. I just spit out your face. It's so different! Grandma Ma, don't be upset. I don't want these rags now, I'll use them to fill in the soles of your shoes!"
Seeing that she was so generous, Ma Daopo couldn't say anything else. After laughing twice, he suddenly said seriously: "I understand why grandma is so expensive and still carries such a low-key karma..."
Aunt Zhao's heart turned around and asked with a smile: "Ma Daopo is the one in front of the gods. He is right. Tell me, what's going on?"
Daopa Ma concluded: "Because grandma is not rich enough!"
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Isn't rich enough? Isn't rich enough? How can I be rich enough?"
Ma Daopa said: "If the third girl becomes the crown princess, becomes the queen, or even becomes the queen mother again, will there be anyone in the world who dares to let her grandma touch a needle or thread?"
Aunt Zhao was shocked when she heard this. After a while, she asked, "What is Grandma Ma's name? How can the third girl become the crown princess, the queen..."
Daopo Ma snorted and said, "If you want me to say, it's useless to be a mother. Otherwise, with the appearance and temperament of the third girl, who else can be strong enough to get over her? Otherwise, how could the Crown Prince hand over everything in the harem to her? It's clear that she is determined. Grandma think about it, if the Third Girl becomes the Crown Prince's concubine, she will become the queen in the future, and grandma's nephew becomes the crown prince. God, then Brother Huan is the serious uncle! In addition to his relationship with the crown prince, he will not change it to a prince!"
As Ma Daopo said, Aunt Zhao's breathing gradually became heavy, as if she was possessed by a demon, and murmured: "Yes, if the third girl becomes the queen, wouldn't Huan'er become the serious uncle? I will become the queen's biological mother..."
Daopa Ma smiled proudly and said, "No? By then, in the world, no matter whether it is a prince or a noble or a royal relative, who dares to look down on you? Who dares to receive another gift from you? Then, you will be this!"
Aunt Zhao's face turned red, but then she stopped and said, "Brother Cong has made Madame Lin the Crown Princess, how can there be any three mads?"
Ma Daopo smiled mysteriously, took out a bag of paper from his pocket and said, "If grandma has the courage, she will fight for her brother and sister once, and there will be a chance!"
When Aunt Zhao heard this, her eyes widened and she stuttered: "This...this...you...you...you want me to poison?"
Ma Daopo was frightened, and he hurriedly looked around, then turned around and picked up the curtain and looked at it. Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he felt relieved and turned around and said, "My good grandma, don't hit the knife. You dare to mention those two words anywhere!"
Aunt Zhao was stunned and asked, "Then this is..."
Ma Daopo smiled mysteriously and said, "Grandma just stir this product in the soup and give it to the Lin family girl. Don't worry, it won't be a poison that suddenly died. If this is the case, wouldn't it be even broken into grandma? Grandma's incident, brother and sister are finished, wouldn't I be finished? How can I harm myself? Don't worry, this is a treasure of Buddhist demon suppression! Eat it and keep any demons in their care and torture to death."
Aunt Zhao patted her chest when she heard this. The man in his early thirties was as plump as autumn fruits. Even Daopo Ma felt dizzy when he was shot.
Aunt Zhao said strangely: "What kind of treasure is this? Is it really okay? Don't find it out..."
Ma Daopo kept protecting him, but it was obvious that Aunt Zhao didn't believe it and had no choice but to tell the truth, saying: "This is the phlegm and foam obtained from some tuberculosis ghosts. It was connected with paper and then dried and ground into powder. Don't worry, ordinary people will have nothing to do with it, but if someone gets a stomachache, they will die of tuberculosis! Grandma, think about it, who can still suspect that this is poison? Even the golden needle cannot be detected..."
Aunt Zhao's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, but when she saw the sinister and cruel look on Ma Daopo's kind-eyed face, she was a little scared. She moved her mind and took it from Ma Daopo's hand and asked with a smile: "Is it really impossible to find out? Then, I'll give that girl a bowl of good soup tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Daopo smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's right! When the girl named Lin is gone, she will definitely win the position of Crown Princess with the third girl's favor! Grandma Don't worry, I will also recognize some noble people in these years. At that time, I will make a lot of effort!"
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she said happily: "Oh! That's good! I will never owe you that time! I will let the third girl reward you with 10,000 taels of silver!"
When Ma Daopo heard this, he became moved and said, "Then, grandma has to write me an IOU first?"
Aunt Zhao repeatedly said, "Okay, okay, no problem."
After saying that, she asked Ma Daopo to write by herself, but she didn't recognize the words. In the end, she only pressed a handprint and took another fifty taels of cash silver, giving it to Ma Daopo.
After the girl's voice came from outside, the Daopo Ma said goodbye and left.
As soon as Ma Daopo left, Aunt Zhao changed her face and spat hard on the ground, cursing: "The stinky woman who talks nonsense also wants to coax you? You just say that you are just aside, but I can't believe it. You said that Lao Shizi Yanei was headed by Huan'er, and the things that crawled out of my intestines still don't know what it was? I want to lie to me and be your mother's dream of spring and autumn!"
After cursing, he walked out of the room and rushed to the little girl in the courtyard and shouted: "Little Jixiangzi, go to the kitchen to have someone prepare a bowl of Tremella seed soup, and then call Huan'er back! The seeds that have no luck have gone, and they don't have home all day!"
As soon as Xiao Jixiang responded, he heard a duckling voice coming from the outside corridor and said, "Gaga! Who said I don't stay at home all day? Am I at home? Humph, I have bad eyes and brains, don't I work well? I have long hair and short knowledge. Only after a few days can I really not be at home... Oh oh oh oh! Mom, what are you doing?"
Aunt Zhao pinched Jia Huan's ear and pulled it in, while sending Xiao Jixiangzi and Xiao Que coming out from behind, saying, "You go to the kitchen to urge you to give me some good tremella seed soup, and use ice to cool it down, hurry up."
After dismissing the girl, Aunt Zhao took Jia Huan into the house, let go of her hand, took out the "dirty bag", said all the words Ma Daopo had said before, and then sneered: "She is really confused by the lard. Can't coax me with any good things, use you to coax me! You fell from me..."
Before he finished speaking, Jia Huan could no longer care about this. His little face turned black and without saying a word, he took the medicine bag and ran out.
...
Yichun Palace, side hall.
After coming out of Ping'er, Jia Cong moved here.
He heard Ping'er talk about what happened today, and after Xue Pan came, Baochai burst into tears...
Looking at Baochai, who was already ordinary, with a smile when talking to him, Jia Cong sighed softly, waved his hand and called Baochai to his side, and said, "You are my woman, you don't have to live so tiring. Even if you keep your mother and brother in Beijing, what can you do? In fact, it's not a big deal. I told you that I can tolerate the world, but it's rare that you can't tolerate your mother and brother?"
Baochai shook her head and chuckled, "Even if you are the crown prince, you don't have to live a light life. The same is true for the Queen Mother and the Emperor, let alone me? You don't have to worry about me. As the saying goes, long pain is worse than short pain. I know the temperament of my mother and brother. If you stay in the capital, you will be greedy again sooner or later. There is no small matter in the family. If you really make trouble again, if you are instigated to do bad things, I am afraid that they will not even be able to save their lives. Why bother? So, it's better to go back to your hometown in Jinling earlier."
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong looked at Baochai with pity and said, "Although I like Sister Bao's intelligence and foresight, I feel sorry for you. Everyone says it is rare to be confused, because life can be lighter if you live a more confused person. You can see too clearly and live too real, and you are the only one who feels uncomfortable. You are my woman, so you don't have to be like this."
Baochai leaned gently in Jia Cong's arms and smiled happily, saying, "It would be great to be able to understand me so much. As the crown prince, he turned his family into the world. How could the things I worry about every day be compared with these trivial matters? If I don't know what to do and use these to bother me and ruin my mood, then I don't know the matter and don't know the severity."
When Jia Cong heard this, he laughed and said, "Ye Qing said all day long that I am a seed of a foolish king, or that Sister Bao is looking at me and praised me as a wise king."
After hearing Ye Qing's name, Baochai's face became lighter.
After Jia Cong noticed it, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. People cannot like everyone. I will not force the whole family to fall in love with each other. The forced melon is not sweet, and the artificial likes are not really liked. There are so many people in the family, and there are always disagreements, so I can only interact less."
Baochai laughed out loud when she heard this, looking at Jia Cong angrily, "Even if you don't like it, you will always be able to live up to your face..." He hesitated, and then said, "Since my father has said this, I will not hide it in my heart. That golden branch and jade leaf are indeed not the same as me. Her temperament is not the same, and she... She also used such means to snatch you from me. But when I become the prince, I will understand that even if there is no Yangzhou thing, it is actually the same. I am a noble family member of the Tian family. If my family is weak today, if any woman wants to favor her, she may have to go to the cold palace. But even though she understands, she can't get close to me.
It can be seen that she doesn't like me much. She was used to intrigue in the palace, so she thought that I would be restless. She prefers the sincere heart of a girl. In fact, it is just that in the eyes of a noble person like her, etiquette and law are only for restraining the common people. In my eyes, etiquette and law are the serious rules in the world! They have no bad intentions, but they are indeed two people. But don't worry, I will never be ignorant of what to do. Besides, I can see that the girl Ye has a good idea about her arrogance, and she will not take me to heart and calculate anything to me. In short, if everyone can be at peace, I don't have to worry about the unstable harem."
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong gently stroked Baochai's hair behind his shoulders, rubbed her forehead with his chin, sniffed the fragrance between his hair, and said, "It is said that a good wife in a family will not suffer any trouble, I believe it. But you don't have to be too careful. Life is the most important thing. Don't think too much about others, and think about yourself more. You always do this, and I will feel very distressed."
Baochai smiled, put her head closer to Jia Cong's arms, and murmured: "I am already lucky and happy than most of my daughters in the world."

ps: The book review area and this chapter talk about Bao and Dai are very angry about the battle between Bao and Dai. Actually, I have said before that when I first read the Red Chamber, I like Baochai very much and was very sensible. But when I was older, I found that Daiyu's golden quality was so good that she became disgusted with Baochai. But after reading it a few years later, I found that Daiyu's natural character is precious and loved by people, but Baochai is definitely not a bad person. Some of the sayings of poisonous bird's nests are speechless, just like a lunatic. The high-ranking scholar in the mountains, Jingyingxue, Cao
The husband also admired her very much. Among the Twelve Beauties, she and Daiyu were both beautiful and beautiful. Many things cannot be relied on her. Most of them were the calculations of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, and their obedience to ethics in that era. Today, some things seem hypocritical or even cold-blooded, such as the words of Jin Chuan after his death, but if she was substituted into that era and read them carefully, it would be rare that she could do that step. She could not evaluate the moral standards of the future generations.
