Chapter 6 The Sixth Day of Being Transformed into Lady Jia
Chapter 6 The Sixth Day of Being Dressed as Lady Jia
"The so-called brocade, also known as Nanjing brocade, was only supplied to the royal family in ancient times and was regarded as a tribute. Old lady, this is another swastika, embroidered with gold thread, which is even more precious. Giving this to the Queen Mother is definitely the
right thing to do." A netizen gave the old lady some scientific knowledge, and the old lady was convinced.
In addition to exchanging the "Swastika Gold Embroidered Brocade" pattern, there are also two "Swastika Brocade", which are also rare and good things.
After the exchange, the old lady looked at the points and found that there were still as many as 500,000.
She was immediately delighted, but after a closer look, the JJ live broadcast platform was actually "considerate" to divide it into another branch, called "Daiyu's Child Support", which accounted for 99% of the total points, but it could not be diverted at all except for exchanging items for Daiyu.
The old lady almost fainted. These unlucky people are such a jerk!
Although she didn't intend to embezzle the points, how she used them, how she arranged them, how she saved them in an emergency, that was her own business. Now it was like this... Let me ask, where is the trust? The most basic trust between people.
For this reason, the old lady was depressed for the next few days, and even forgot to tell her family that she was going to enter the palace. It was not
until before she left that Mrs. Wang knew about it.
At that moment, she was stunned.
"This is because the old ancestor is angry with me." Mrs. Wang said to Wang Xifeng in annoyance. She just thought that the incident that angered the old ancestor that day was over. Who would have thought that they were waiting here.
Otherwise, why didn't the old lady call her when she entered the palace?
There is a Yuanchun in their family in the palace, and they don't see her on weekdays. Even if she is a fifth-rank imperial edict, how can she have the grace of the first-rank imperial edict of the old ancestor? It's
rare to enter the palace, but she is not called. This is clearly giving her the first place.
After hearing this, Wang Xifeng thought to herself, "Old ginger is still spicy." You have already got to the point without making any noise, and you have no place to complain. In particular, this move makes it clear who is the one in charge of this family. Smart!
She admired it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She still comforted Mrs. Wang, "Madam, you are too worried. I think the old ancestor has other arrangements. Don't worry, wait for the old ancestor to come back, and you will know."
On this side, the old lady who was praised for her smartness didn't know what kind of illusion her unintentional behavior gave to others.
At this moment, she was wearing the court dress of the first-class imperial edict, and was nervously following the eunuch who led the way to Changle Palace. Walking in such a magnificent palace, she didn't dare to look more, so she could only turn the camera to let the noisy netizens have a look.
She roughly understood the layout of the surrounding palaces through the barrage that flashed quickly on the screen.
In this way, she came to the door of a magnificent palace.
First, the eunuch went in to report, and then sang it layer by layer.
After that, the old lady walked into the hall in small steps, followed the video on the screen, and performed the ceremony respectfully. Only then was
the empress dowager hurriedly helped to stand up. After giving her a seat, the empress dowager looked quite emotional, "It's rare for you to come to the palace on your own initiative. You are usually not seen moving. I'm afraid
you didn't come to see me today, but to see Ms. Jia." The old lady didn't expect the empress dowager to be so kind, and she never thought about who "Ms. Jia" was. She quickly flattered, "Of course I didn't come to see the empress dowager. I was just afraid of disturbing you in the past. Today I found an excuse and brought you a good thing, so I came here happily." "
We have been friends for many years, and you still say this. I'm not afraid of you disturbing me, I'm just afraid that you won't come." Although it was a reproachful statement, the empress dowager's eyebrows were obviously smiling, "Didn't you say you brought good things? Bring it out and see what good things it is."
Immediately, a palace maid went down and presented the things the old lady brought.
The first thing to be spread out was the "Swastika Gold Embroidered Brocade" picture. Once unfolded, it was shining with golden light, and under the light, it seemed to have colorful clouds.
Looking closely, the huge "Swastika" was actually composed of small "Swastikas", which was exquisite.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but blurt out the word "good".
Looking at the two pieces of "Swastika Brocade", they were also rare and good things. The "Swastika" was always running down without breaking, the gold thread was fine and dense, and the style was elegant.
"It is indeed a good thing," the Queen Mother took back her stroking hand and nodded, "It even surpassed the tribute brocade of the Weaving Bureau this year."
"I don't deserve it." The old lady smiled, as if she had never discovered the trap in the Queen Mother's words. She only sighed in her heart that the wisdom of netizens was powerful, and even thought of this, "Speaking of which, this is also a coincidence, a treasure given by heaven to you, the Queen Mother."
"Oh, how do you say it." The Queen Mother became interested.
The old lady's face showed a bit of sadness at the right time, "You also know that my most beloved youngest daughter married Lin Ruhai, the grandson of the Gusu Lin family. But she was unlucky and passed away not long ago. She left behind a daughter, who is now raised by me.
"My son-in-law is also infatuated. I heard that he has been in poor health since his youngest daughter passed away. It was a rare day to go out, but he met a lame Taoist priest and a bald-headed monk.
"The two were talking and singing, and my son-in-law found it interesting, so he followed them, but he didn't expect to arrive at an ancient temple in the blink of an eye. The ancient temple looked quite old, and judging from the inscriptions, it seemed to be a royal temple of the previous dynasty, but it was already dilapidated.
"Coincidentally, the temple beams suddenly collapsed, revealing the underground palace under the ancient temple. The underground palace was not big, but there was only one box. In the box were these two things today."
"Is there such a thing?" The empress dowager was surprised.
"It is indeed the case. "The old lady nodded firmly. She remembered what the netizen said: When in doubt, the gods will show up; auspicious signs will work every time.
"It's magical! The son-in-law walked out of the ancient temple, and when he looked back, he saw the bustling scene of Yangzhou city. There was no ancient temple, nor the lame Taoist priest and the bald monk.
"Afterwards, he thought that the two men might be immortals on earth, so he immediately ordered people to send the two things and present them. The gods present a gift, the 'swastika' of the previous dynasty, your Majesty, this is a good omen!"
With this said, the two things that were originally just treasures immediately became different.
The eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs around were all shining. Even the empress dowager's eyes looking at the old lady became softer, "It is indeed a good omen." She turned around and ordered the palace maids, "Go, have someone make these two pieces of brocade and send them to the emperor and the emperor, and then hang this "Swastika Gold Embroidered Brocade" picture in the Buddhist hall."
After giving these instructions, she turned to look at Lady Jia, "I heard you just say that his daughter is now being raised by you. What's her name and how old is she this year?"
"Her name is Daiyu, and she is seven years old this year." The old lady was shocked when she saw her daughter coming, but her expression was a little sad. "After her mother passed away, I was also paranoid. I wanted her to be by my side to feel at ease. But recently, I am old after all, and I am a little unable to educate them."
The empress dowager sighed, "Children are debts from previous lives, and we have no control over them."
"Yes, it is the fate of worry." The old lady agreed with her, "But we can't just let them go, so I thought of finding two maids who were released from the palace to teach them."
"It's not difficult." The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows immediately, "Just ask me for two."
Then she ordered someone to do it.
The old lady was surprised and wanted to thank her, but the Queen Mother hurriedly asked someone to hold her back, "It's just a small matter. When you have time in the future, bring your granddaughter to let me see her. I see that in your family, besides Miss Jia, this is the one you like the most." "
She is the youngest and lost her mother at an early age. What can I do if I don't take care of her?" The old lady seemed helpless.
As the two were talking, someone announced that "the wife of the Duke of Anguo is here to see you."
The old lady hurriedly took her leave from the empress dowager, and then received an imperial decree to allow her to see Lady Jia. When she came out of the palace, she just happened to pass by the wife of the Duke of Anguo, and the old lady slightly turned sideways. After leaving Changle Palace, she had time to ask netizens "Who is Lady Jia?" She had already guessed a little, but didn't the netizens say that Jia Yuanchun was a concubine ?
"That's Jia Yuanchun."
"Jia Yuanchun, she is still just a lady, not a concubine.
" "Looking at the empress dowager's appearance, I think the emperor is really kind to his old ministers."
"If I had known this earlier, I would have directly asked the empress dowager for two maids to teach me."
"It's better to be roundabout and let the empress dowager give them to me on her own initiative, isn't it better than asking for them?"
"The Jia family looks pretty good now. When Jia Yuanchun is made a concubine, it will be like cooking oil on a hot fire. So, it's better to be roundabout than to accuse her of a crime in the future."
"This... is a bit exaggerated, isn't it just a small matter of hiring a maid? '
'When the emperor doesn't like you, even the smallest things become big things. '
'It's not just for the Jia family, it's also for Lin Ruhai. '
'Lin Ruhai'
'But if this matter is put on Lin Ruhai, there will be no suspicion of flattery. Besides, he doesn't offer it himself, but asks the Jia family to offer it, which makes him suspected of being tied to the Jia family. I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy,' a netizen who didn't participate in the advice for the old lady to enter the palace asked.
'No. The Queen Mother is the person involved in today's matter, and she may not think of this. But from the perspective of vested interests, it was Lin Ruhai who invited two nurses to teach Lin Daiyu. The emperor must think that Lin Ruhai loves his daughter so much that he did this. '
'As for being tied together, they are all in-laws, and they can't get rid of this relationship no matter what. '
'Moreover, this is also to arouse Lin Ruhai's will to live. If Lin Ruhai doesn't die, Daiyu's fate can be changed by half. '
'Lin Ruhai is not bedridden yet, and it is a good thing that he can attract the emperor's attention. Maybe the emperor will send him a doctor to treat him; at worst, Lin Ruhai is dead, and Lin Daiyu is now listed in the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, which can only be beneficial. '
'Wow, the big guys are 666, I thought I was on the second floor, but I didn't expect that the big guys are already on the third and fourth floors. '
'Yes, it's really far-sighted! '
...
The old lady saw it and couldn't help but nod in her heart.
I couldn't help but feel again that this bunch of idiots are still useful.
Following the eunuch who led the way to a warm room, a palace maid had already served tea and snacks to the old lady, and said, "Ms. Jia will be here later." The old lady nodded and took a sip of the celadon teacup.
To be honest, meeting Jia Yuanchun was something unexpected for the old lady.
But Jia Yuanchun was obviously very happy to see Jia's mother. She looked around and asked, "Didn't mother come with grandmother?"
Uh, how should I put it? Did the old lady forget to tell Mrs. Wang about this?
The old lady touched her lips and shirked the responsibility forcefully, "She is in charge of the family and has a lot of things to do. That's why she didn't come this time."
Although she was a little regretful that she didn't see her mother, Jia Yuanchun was still very excited and talked a lot with the old lady. The old lady gradually adapted to the existence of this granddaughter. She said, "In the palace, be careful everywhere and be cautious in everything. But don't treat yourself badly."
Jia Yuanchun nodded.
At this time, she was just a girl of fifteen or sixteen.
Thinking of this, the old lady softened her voice again, "If you lack anything, just tell your grandmother."
"Granddaughter has nothing in the palace." Jia Yuanchun shook her head.
It was the netizens who reminded the old lady, "Of course, the most lacking thing is money."
The old lady thought about it and realized that she didn't bring any money this time.
Because she didn't come for Yuanchun.
But if I remember correctly, there seems to be an exchange of silver and silver notes in the mall.
As she thought, the mall popped up in front of the old lady.
The old lady reached into her bosom and covered up by stuffing the exchanged banknotes into Yuanchun's hands, "When you are away from home, it is always not as convenient as at home. But it is always a good thing to use money to pay."
Jia Yuanchun showed some emotion. She held the banknotes and whispered, "Thank you, grandma."
"What are you thanking me for?" Thinking that she was a girl who was only in high school, alone in the deep palace, and the difficulties she faced were probably only known by herself, the old lady couldn't help but feel distressed and touched her cheek, "We are all outside the palace and can't take care of you. But if there is anything, go and ask the Queen Mother. I still have some face in front of the Queen Mother."
Yuanchun nodded.
Because they couldn't stay in the palace for a long time, the old lady soon said goodbye to Yuanchun and returned to the Jia Mansion.
As soon as she entered Rongqing Hall, she heard someone report that "Master She is here and is waiting in the east wing." Before the old lady could reply, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng also came hand in hand.
