Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

On the next day, March [-]th, the fourth day after the palace examination, Emperor Qianyuan held a banquet in the imperial garden for all the talents in the world.

Qionglin Banquet only drinks from the first moment of the Si time to the last moment.

Sister Yunchun and Yingchun led the two little princesses Ronghui and Minhui to Lancui Pavilion early in the morning. Of course, Lancui Pavilion was decorated early in the morning, and bright yellow curtains like mist were drawn around.The students outside only saw Ying Zhuo in the tent, but the Yingchun sisters really saw the new Jinshi clearly.

Yuan Chun was careful, and even saw Baoyu's thin cheeks clearly, and sighed: "Baoyu's chin is thin and sharp, which shows that studying is hard work!"

Hearing this, Yingchun looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's better to be thinner. She looks more energetic, taller, and her facial features have grown. She looks like an adult. She will be a filial piety next year, and Baoyu will be 20 years old." Yes, it's just right to get married!"

Yuan Chun was taken aback, calculated secretly, and smiled: "That's right, Baoyu is two years younger than my sister, and will be 19 years old next month, so it's time to get married! I just want to know where is sister Lin?"

Yingchun smiled: "Sister Lin is two years younger than Baoyu, and she will be eighteen next February, which is the best age for childbearing!"

Yuan Chun's face darkened: "Earlier, my wife kept saying that Sister Lin was not in good health, and I don't know how it has been these years."

The Wang family has always liked Xue Baochai, thinking that Xue Baochai is strong enough to bear children, and wanted to hire her niece as a wife, but she did not hesitate to resort to tricks such as drugs, but the clinker was just a bamboo basket to fetch water, and now it has changed!

Yingchun sighed because of this: "There has been a saying since ancient times. It is said that children are weak when they are young. As long as they are 12 years old, they can escape the concern of Lord Yan. I heard that sister Lin often stayed at Prince Ying's mansion, and she also followed the princess. Going to Biyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain to offer incense, I think my body will be in great shape. Besides, sometimes looking at the body is strong, but the body may not necessarily be healthy! Healthy body does not necessarily mean that the husband and wife are harmonious!"

Yuan Chun heard that Yingchun had pointed it out, and said with embarrassment, "That's true too!"

Yuan Chun also thought of Baochai. Baochai was recognized by the Wang family as the image of Yinan, but ended up entering the palace of Zhongyi County.

Yingchun saw that she was ashamed, although she didn't continue to pursue her, she changed her words and said: "Last year the Empress Dowager Huang Xiaoxiang and the Empress Dowager have changed their court clothes, and if they want to meet some foreign wives on the Longevity Day this year, the Prince Ying's Palace must be here." Among the summons, some clan wives in the clan who are close to the Empress Dowager can also enter the palace. Next month, the Empress Dowager’s birthday will be celebrated. The palace comes to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, then, sister can watch it in person."

Yuan Chun's complexion became more and more ugly, and his forehead said: "My sister is right, the old lady loves Baoyu the most, this marriage must be good!"

Daiyu's status is no longer what it used to be, she is already the county lord, the prince's adopted daughter, and she is no longer an orphan she can pick on.There are several million dowries behind him, and the Jia family said that they would not marry, and a lot of people were waiting in line to become the county matriarch.

The concubine of this dynasty is not allowed to be an official in the court, but the county matriarch does not delay being an official. Although he does not have to be born, the status of the county lord is real, and Lin Ruhai's connections are also there. Besides, the Lin family has a lot of money, and Daiyu's descendants can still be rich and prosperous for eight lifetimes, so why not do it!

But she came to pick Daiyu's body, which is hypocritical to put it mildly.To put it bluntly, it is to be cheap and good-looking, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and desires are hard to fill!

Not to mention that Daiyu's own conditions are very superior, but to say that this marriage was bestowed by the Empress Dowager, how can I allow others to comment?

Yuan Chun felt a little annoyed, he was careless.

For a moment, Yuan Chun's face turned red, and he coughed several times unnaturally.

Seeing Yuan Chun's face showing shame, Yingchun knew that Yuan Chun's conscience was still there, so she offered a cup of tea to Yuan Chun and said, "Sister moistens her throat!" Then she changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Baodai's marriage is really good, Baoyu and Uncle Lin is both a flower lover, and the future offspring must be the seeds of studying, and Bao Yuyu and Sister Lin are both born beautifully, so their offspring must also be graceful and beautiful!"

Yuan Chun is a smart person, seeing that Ying Chun didn't get into the details, he hurriedly followed the topic of Ying Chun, and the sisters started discussing Bao Dai's marriage. According to the court's decree, the lord's family is not allowed to play music for a year, and now it has been a year already. Theoretically, Baodai can get married this year, but the relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and the royal family is too close, and Daiyu is the imperial court canonized county magistrate, the granddaughter of the Supreme Emperor, and the Rongguo Mansion does not lack a housewife. When the mouth is anxious to arrange the marriage, to poke the empress dowager emperor's heart.

Yuanchun means that at the end of this year, Taishang Huang Daxiang will marry Baodai in the spring of next year, and there will be a marriage in Tanchun later.

Yingchun thought for a while, and said: "I guess we don't care about this matter. After all, Daiyu's identity is different. Since she recognized Prince Ying as her adoptive father, and the empress dowager as her grandmother, the empress dowager is kind. If there is a decree, let's just wait. If the Empress Dowager does not have a decree, it means that the Empress Dowager is not willing to marry Bao Dai during the filial piety period. After all, Daiyu will marry from the Prince Ying's mansion, and we cannot force the Prince Ying's mansion to be married during the filial piety period. To marry a daughter, we might as well wait until Sister Lin is over in the New Year before mentioning it, then the 27-month filial piety period in Prince Ying’s Mansion will also be over, and we’re going to celebrate with great joy!”

Yuan Chun heard the words on his forehead, and his heart said that Yingchun's actions became more and more organized.

The Spring Festival was just as expected, on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, the Empress Dowager's birthday, Daiyu really came to the palace to kowtow with Prince Ying and Princess Ying.Because during the filial piety period, the empress dowager entertained all the guests with refreshments, and all the people who came were close friends of the empress dowager. Sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and chatting, gossiping about family affairs, it was more warm than a ten-day feast of wine.

Yuanchun is in charge of everything, while Yingchun follows the empress dowager to take care of her.

The empress dowager, the birthday star, ascended to the seat in the pavilion to accept everyone's worship and congratulations.

When the prostration was over, the Empress Dowager ordered Jia Mu to speak with Mrs. Feng, the Huguo Hou. Jia Mu wanted to salute the Empress Dowager and Yingchun. Lord Jun came here to congratulate Bengong on his birthday, this kind of heart, this palace has long known, it's not about these vain gifts!"

Mrs. Feng is a junior, and she respectfully salutes and greets the Empress Dowager in the Spring Festival.

The empress dowager ordered people to watch the seats.

Madam Huguohou and the empress dowager have a different relationship. After sitting down, Yingying smiled and said, "Today is a good day for the empress dowager. The weather is good, and the empress dowager is in a good mood. Yinger wants to ask the empress dowager to show me. Ziying is getting older, she is already 24 this year!"

As soon as these words were uttered, there was no need to express them, as everyone understood them.

Mrs. Feng is asking about the wedding date.

Yingchun hurriedly glanced at the Empress Dowager, but saw the smiling forehead of the Empress Dowager: "Well, this has been in my mind a few times, but I can't decide this matter, it depends on Mr. Shi Taijun's meaning!"

Baodai and Tanchun's marriage is precisely Jia's mother's heart disease. Since the general manager suffered a serious illness last year, Jia's mother always feels that her time is running out, and she really wants to arrange Baodai's marriage earlier, but she meets Guo Xiao. Because of the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and the royal family, it’s not easy to be careless and get married after a year. Jia’s mother is anxious and dare not make mistakes. It’s because Baoyu’s fame has not yet been achieved. She is the adopted daughter of Prince Ying's Mansion, and Prince Ying's Mansion is keeping a filial piety!

If Baodai didn't get married, Tanchun's younger sister's marriage would have to wait.

Therefore, Mrs. Feng went to the mansion several times to test, but Jia's mother didn't agree, saying: "The younger sister's marriage is just to pass over the older brother!"

Jia Mu's words have two meanings. One is that Baoyu is the elder brother, and the elder brother's marriage must be done first.Two meanings, if you want to get married early, try to get Bao Dai to get married early.What Jia Mu meant was that Mrs. Feng belonged to the clan, and General Feng was granted the title of Marquis because of his military merits, and the Feng family was the door for marriage proposals.

Mrs. Feng's words were spoken, not only Mrs. Feng was anxious, but also Mrs. Jia was worried.

At this moment, hearing the empress dowager's question, Jia's mother was in the middle of her arms.He said: "Both colleges should be married, female colleges should be married, Tanyatou's age has come, but there are some obstacles in this matter, and the empress dowager also knows that Tanyatou's elder brother, Baoyu, is not yet married, and the elder and younger are in order. The younger sister can't go past the older brother." !"

Therefore, Tanchun's marriage has to wait for a while. The elder brother is not married, and the younger sister is in a hurry to get married. If word spreads, it will be full of tooth marks!

The Empress Dowager raised her forehead when she heard the words: "Well, that's a good statement. In the family of Shili, the upper and lower ranks cannot be messed up!"

After saying that, the empress dowager glanced at Yingqin and Princess Ying who were following Yingchun: "Yun'er, what do you think?"

Princess Ying got up when she heard the words, looked at Daiyu from a distance, and said with a smile: "Yu'er is a smart and docile girl, with both talents and looks. Although she was not born by her daughter-in-law, she loves her very much, and her brothers and sisters get along well too." The daughter-in-law is not willing to wrong her and asks her to marry from another courtyard."

The Empress Dowager said: "Well, that's true. It's only one year old and two years old. My daughter's family can't afford to delay their youth. The twelfth lunar month is just the right time to do things!"

The Supreme Emperor passed away in October, and it will be the second anniversary in October. Even if it is a noble clan, it is not a hindrance to hold a happy event after Daxiang.

Princess Ying smiled slightly: "My mother doesn't know. After Xiaoxiang last year, my daughter-in-law tried to test Yu'er, and Yu'er was categorical at the time, saying that she was willing to accompany her daughter-in-law to become a vegetarian for three years!"

The empress dowager was moved when she heard the words, there were joys and sorrows in her heart, but the grandson and granddaughter of the enemy were having fun in filial piety, and a adopted granddaughter was so filial.

For a moment, the empress dowager was filled with emotions!
