Jia Cong, the God of Dancing Through the Red Mansion

When Tu Su came back, Brother Cong was still staring at the piece of paper in a daze, and when he realized that there was another person behind him, he had already stood there for a long time.

Seeing him looking back at him, Tufu smiled, and said in admiration, "The relationship behind this person is too complicated. After so many people under me investigate, I can only vaguely feel that it seems to be related to the fifth child, but Never been sure.

Unexpectedly, after being sorted out by you in this way, it will become clear all of a sudden, and the method is so simple. "

After thinking for a while, he smiled again, "No wonder Brother Huang said that every time you sort out the papers, he seems to save energy! My Yanyang is indeed a treasure!"

As he said that, he leaned his big head on Brother Cong's shoulder, and exhaled a scorching breath, which was also mixed with a strong smell of alcohol. As soon as he smelled it, he knew that this man drank a lot at the palace banquet!

Hastily pushed his face away, "Go wash up!"

Tu Su laughed "hehe" for a while, but didn't bother him anymore, and went to clean up and come out.

When he came out, water was still dripping from his hair. Brother Cong saw it and quickly took a handkerchief to dry him. It is still freezing outside. Although the house is burning with earth dragons, he still has to dry it quickly. To prevent future headaches.

"When it's fifteen, how about we go to see the lights together?"

Brother Cong was taken aback when he heard what he said, but he realized what he meant when he changed his mind. On the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the mansion will welcome the empress back to Luan. To be precise, it is not an easy task.

In the cold wind, you may not talk for a few hours, even if you come and go, you have to kneel and kneel to send it off!

Just thinking about this, I heard Tufu say again, "Now you are the only one who can face the saint in Rongning and Ningfu. Although the women in the harem have no purpose and are not allowed to see outsiders, this concubine Jia has received an errand from the family temple, so she should be more self-disciplined." some.

But since it is going home to visit relatives, it will not be so rigid, and some young brothers and nephews can still be seen.

Although you are already an official, you are still young after all, I am afraid that Concubine Jia will use this as an excuse to meet you.

At that time, there will be that old lady and Mrs. Wang present, and it is probably not impossible to use means to force you to agree to some messy conditions on the spot, so it is better to avoid it! "

Brother Cong also thought of this at this time. Ever since he found out about the concubine in his father's house, his wariness towards these women in the back house has suddenly increased a lot, and he no longer takes a joking attitude towards some things. .

I'm afraid that if I lose Jingzhou carelessly, it will be useless even if I regret it at that time!

Brother Cong was actually looking forward to the excitement that day. After all, it was considered a major event in the Red Mansion. After seeing a lot of written descriptions, he naturally became curious about the actual situation.

But it's not to the point where it must be seen, just like the so-called Jinling Twelve Beauties, regardless of the women on the primary and secondary books, he is actually curious in his heart.

But these years, unless he inevitably got involved with him, and his character was appreciated by him, otherwise he was just like a stranger and didn't pay much attention.

I weighed it in my heart again, although I was not at home that day, there might be some troubles later, but with the shield of Tu Sui, I can almost ignore it.

But if he really stayed at home, some things were unpredictable, so he nodded and agreed to watch the lanterns.

In other words, since he was eight years old when he led others to look at the lamp and almost had an accident, he has never gone out on such a lively day.

What's more, he just watched the lively corner that year. You know, the Shangyuan Lantern Market stretches for dozens of miles. Including it, it was a dazzling array of everything, but it was a pity that he didn't see anything that year.

Thinking of it this way, I felt a little interest in my heart, and I was also vaguely looking forward to the coming of the Lantern Festival soon.

......

As the Lantern Festival approaches on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, including Aunt Xue Baochai, are all nervous day by day.

The garden is inspected three times a day. Is there any dust or stains?

Are there any flaws in the candles, fireworks and lanterns purchased outside, or can there be fresher ones?

There are also the scriptures and scriptures of the little opera singers, little Taoist nuns, etc. that Jiangnan bought specially before, and they are everywhere!

Even though Dafang was not very enthusiastic about this matter before, he had to do his best to help at this time. No matter how outsiders see it, it is also a major issue for the Jia family. If there is a slight mistake, even if it is embarrassing, it is the Jia family. people.

But now when the Jia family is mentioned outside, no one mentions Jia Zheng!

What's more, taking the concubine back to Luan, if there is a slight difference, a hat that is disrespectful to the royal family will not be able to escape. At this time, no one dares to joke about the future of their own lives and descendants!

For a few days, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen didn't feel like they had done anything, but they were exhausted.

Fortunately, the day is approaching, as long as the fifteenth day passes, everything will be fine.

As early as the eighth day of the lunar new year, an eunuch from the palace came to Jia's mansion. After returning to the mansion, the concubine Jia made arrangements for where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to rest. Many places were covered with curtains.

Some people came to guide them, and explained clearly where the people in the mansion retreated, where they knelt, where they ate, and where they performed their duties.

Brother Cong watched for half a day, only feeling that it was more troublesome than the time when he went to the palace to receive a banquet after he was admitted to the imperial examination.

What a shock, it seems that the previous decision was correct, staying at home on the fifteenth day was really a pain.

Looking at the old man who was listening respectfully, he thought that although it was already the beginning of spring, the coldness in early spring was even heavier. Although he was still wearing a cotton robe, it was impossible for his knees to feel better. Several pairs of thick knee pads.

Counting the number of people, including the old and the young in the Dafang side and excluding him, there are six masters. Although Brother Xin and Sister Qiao definitely don't need to see each other, there are some things that should be prepared in advance.

On that side, Xichun has always been on good terms with him, so it's not good to bypass her. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it's not good if Tanchun Baoyuhuan's brother Lan doesn't send it to him, and the names of people coming out of Cong's mouth are getting more and more many.

He suddenly raised his head, seeing that Walnut's face was flushed red, he shut his mouth embarrassingly, "Well, you only made the master and wife, and then made a pair for the second sister-in-law, and let her see if it's right. It has to be done for the masters in the mansion."

Only then did Walnut heaved a sigh of relief, the time was very tight, as many people as the third master counted to do it, there were only a few of them, and they had to be busy with other things, it must be too late, so it was just right for only a few people.

He quickly took the order and retreated.

After it was finished, it was sent to Mrs. Jia Shexing. After the two tried it, they were really happy. They rewarded a few girls, and asked Wang Xifeng to prepare a pair for each of the masters in the house, so as to save them from getting sick from cold.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the tense atmosphere in the entire Jia Mansion had reached its peak.

After checking inside and out again, I knew that there would be more things to do the next day, but after tossing and turning all night, I couldn't sleep well no matter what.

On the second day at Mao time, that is, before five o'clock, I got up. Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing had to make up according to their tastes. In the newly built garden, silk flowers had already been tied on the trees. At this time, Lian Fei looked The tent dance is colorful, and incense is burned everywhere, and green pistils are inserted in the vase. For a while, it is really like a fairyland!

Jia Amnesty led a group of people and waited at the corner of the street, and Jia Mu also brought all the female relatives to greet him at the gate of the mansion.

One side was waiting anxiously, but news came from the other side, saying that the empress had to go to the family temple to pay respects to the Buddha after eating at around two o'clock in the afternoon, and then she could invite an edict to leave the palace.

Calculating the time, it would be five o'clock in the afternoon at the earliest before leaving the palace. In a word, it seemed that a basin of cold water had been poured on the high emotions of everyone in the mansion.

The old lady didn't sleep well yesterday, and up to now she has been relying on the joy and glory to support her. When she heard this, she knew that she still had to wait, and her anger dissipated a lot, and she suddenly looked very happy. Out of fatigue.

As the saying goes, go all out, and then decline!

Seeing the situation, the female family next to her hurriedly persuaded the old lady to go back. After coming back, the masters and servants who followed her couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the morning, the atmosphere in the mansion has been particularly solemn, as if people dare not even say a word, and they have to walk carefully and lightly!

With the departure and return of the masters, this atmosphere was finally broken, just like breaking the ice, the still picture suddenly rolled up, no matter the girl or the master who came and went, they couldn't help laughing when they looked at the people around them stand up.

He straightened his posture immediately and continued to work on his own affairs.

Jia Cong had been following Jia Amnesty not far away. At this time, he sent his father back to the mansion, and said in front of Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, "Father, someone is looking for him outside. My son will go out and have a look first."

Jia Amnesty waved his hand to let him go, but Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen frowned, "Brother Cong, there is a big event in our house today, how can we leave without authorization, it's nothing important, just push it away. "

Brother Cong pretended to be helpless and said, "Second Master, my nephew also knows that there are serious affairs in the mansion today. However, I just heard from the young servant that the inner eunuch came outside. Dare my nephew go and see for himself?"

Hearing this, several people thought it was someone from the palace, although they still had their own thoughts, they didn't dare to stop him, so they could only let him out.

Today, the streets near Rongning and Ningfu were surrounded by people from Wucheng Bingmasi, and ordinary people were not allowed to come here at will. Tufu was not afraid, but if he showed up in person, the commotion would be too great.

So, after Brother Cong came out, he only saw two young eunuchs from the palace at the corner, and led Ah Da to follow them to turn left and right for a few circles, only to see a carriage parked in front.

It looks very ordinary, but the mark of the palace is still engraved on the inconspicuous place. When I walked closer, some of the guards were familiar with it. After getting into the car, I found that Tu Su was there, "Why didn't you enter the palace? Also, I I just remembered that there is going to be a banquet in the palace today, can you walk out?"

"It's all right, I've told Brother Huang that I'll just go for a cutscene during the banquet, and then come out, and then we'll go watch the lanterns together!"

Brother Cong nodded and asked again, "You came out at this time, have you eaten?"

Seeing him shaking his head, Brother Cong rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of the delicious food he ate a few days ago. That one cooks delicious food, how about we go eat some together?"

Looking at the slyness in his big eyes, Tu Su knew that there must be something inside, but he couldn't bear to guess, so he just smiled cooperatively, "Since Yanyang agreed, there must be something unique about it, don't try it." What a pity!"

After driving for less than half an hour, the carriage arrived at the place where brother Cong ate haggis soup last time.

The last time I came early, there weren't many people there, but, as the shopkeeper said, the food here should be famous far and wide, and as long as the time comes, he won't worry about customers.

Even though today is the Shangyuan Festival, there are still sporadic guests in his nearby place which is not close to the Lantern Market.

The carriage stopped, and when the two of them got out of the car, the shopkeeper recognized him, and hurried out, rubbing his callused palms together, sweating on his forehead for a moment, he was a little at a loss!

The guards and servants followed respectfully, seeing that Tu Fu didn't want to talk, Brother Cong could only open his mouth and said to him, "The last time I ate your food, it was so different from the food at home. In the past, every time I think about it, I still want to eat again.”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper relaxed a little, grinned and laughed, just now when he saw a group of them coming over, he thought that the last time he brought haggis to the nobleman, it happened. This is another person who personally came to the door to question the crime!

Although he didn't look like that, but he was worried after all. Now that he heard it, he was very happy. He rubbed his hands again excitedly, and the old businessman's true colors were revealed, and his mouth was deftly speaking auspicious words of congratulations. , although flattering, but not disgusting.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he hurried back to the store, discussed with the remaining customers, and asked them to move to two tables in a remote place, leaving them with a large open space by the window. a group of people.

Those few people should also be residents nearby, so they are all familiar with the shopkeeper. I saw a group of them again. long knife.

Naturally they didn't dare to provoke them, some obediently changed their positions, while some were afraid of getting into trouble, so they stood up and wanted to leave.

The shopkeeper didn't take any money, and sent him away with good words.

Ah Da and Qin Feng stepped forward quickly, wiped the tables and chairs again, and sat down by the window.

When Tu Su came in, he smelled the smell in the air and looked at the food on the table next to him, so he already knew why Brother Cong wanted to see a joke just now.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed. Tu Sui had been exposed to various religions and streams since he was a child, and when he got older, he received the emperor's order or often had to go out of Beijing to do some things for today's affairs.

On the road, how can you be careful about everything, especially eating, you must eat whatever you see, which is not very common in the capital.

It is a well-known delicacy among the folks in the Northwest area. Tu Sui had been there for a long time, so naturally he did not eat less.

However, that was before the emperor ascended the throne, but he hasn't eaten it for a long time now. Seeing it now, he really misses it.

Thinking of this, he told the boss, "Bring me the haggis soup first, and hurry up the pancakes!"

Seeing that the nobleman could call out Chishi's name with an open mouth, the shopkeeper was even more relieved, and shouted loudly, "Come on, two bowls of haggis soup first!"

Brother Cong, who didn't take it as a joke, lowered his head and stalked his neck. What kind of person is this? I really don't want to talk to him!

No matter how feasting the two foodies here are, after a short period of relaxation, everyone in Jia's mansion over there is even more unbearable.

While hoping that this time will pass quickly and the empress can come back quickly, on the other hand, she is worried about what is not done properly and whether something unexpected will happen.

People who are so concerned about gains and losses will feel a little anxious. Fortunately, they only have one day, and they can find something to do at will, but they can still pass it.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, I had some supper early, and after packing up, they all got together and made people check the news over and over again.

Wang Xifeng, however, was never free, so she went to take care of the garden after eating, and then saw the sky getting darker, so she hurriedly asked someone to pick up a load of candles, and all the lanterns were hung up in a blink of an eye.

All of a sudden, the colorful lights are everywhere, which makes people almost doubt that it is a fairyland on earth!

I was still busy here, when I suddenly heard someone running outside, so people asked, it turned out that the empress had already left the palace, so I hurried forward.

Mother Jia had also received the news, she finally showed a smile on her face, and brought the female family members of the family to the gate of Rong Mansion to wait.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw the empress' Chengyu coming over, and a group of people came in to pay respects outside!

Afterwards, I didn't see anyone. Yuanchun had rules for getting up and sitting, and there was nothing wrong with it. After the bath, I changed clothes first, and then visited other courtyards under the guidance of eunuchs and maids.

After arriving at the main courtyard, I was a little closer to Jia Mu and others. After changing clothes in the side hall, Fang came out to meet his family.

The grandparents, mothers and daughters cried in each other's arms, so there is no need to elaborate!

The three of them were too emotional, and Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Tanchun Xichun and others had to cry along with them.

After a while, Fang Weiwei calmed down, Yuan Chun naturally wanted to re-make up, and sent the rest of the people outside with a few light words.

Only Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were left in the inner room.

Yuan Chun took the main seat, and also gave the seat to his grandmother and mother. Looking at the faces of the two who were older than before, tears welled up again for a while, and he choked up and said, "I never thought that our grandparents, mother and son are still here. When we meet each other, when we think about it carefully, it seems like a lifetime away!"
