The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

As spring goes and autumn comes, people and things in the capital also change with time.

That year, after Jia Yingchun was transferred back to Beijing with Xiao Yun, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's eldest daughter, Qiaoer, got married in the spring of the following year. The other party was Shen Mingjin, the grandson of Princess Xianning. In the year when the official secretary was in charge, Shen Mingjin was 20 years old. His father, Shen Hou, also found a job for him in the official department. He happened to be under Jia Lian. In the same year, Shen Mingjin, who felt a little sad, married the 16-year-old sister Qiao .

However, what Jia Yingchun thought was the funniest at the time was part of the plot recounted by Xiao Yun: Since Jia Ke and Jia Qiao, the uncle and nephew, knew that their sister (the eldest niece) was about to get married, they seemed to have quite a big opinion on Shen Mingjin. Yes, so the two of them stood outside the second door, insisting that Shen Mingjin recite three poems about Feng Qiufeng from the Book of Songs in front of everyone, as long as the two of them agreed, they would naturally let them go.

Shen Mingjin, who has always considered himself well-versed in poetry and books, couldn't help scratching the wall with his claws and burst into tears when he heard the words, because the point is not whether he can recite the poems, but whether the two boys in front of him can agree. ...but can you say no?Of course not! !That's why Shen Mingjin knocked five times in a row with extreme sorrow, before he got the nod of the two children... let him go....

In the next year, Yang Wending had been re-elected in Jinling for two terms and could finally be transferred back to the capital, so Xue Baochai followed her husband back to Beijing.

This time, it was Lin Daiyu who was the host, and invited Sanchun and Princess Fengyang to accompany her to welcome Xue Baochai who hadn't seen him for many years. The few sisters got together, and despite the initial estrangement, the old friendship was soon restored.

Although Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun had some small ups and downs in their married life, they were generally quite smooth. When everyone met, Jia Xichun was still slightly puffed up, which made Lin Daiyu cry several times because she didn't know Jia Xichun is pregnant.

Jia Xichun said calmly: "It's not a big deal, and I finally got the chance to go out. If Sister Lin doesn't let me come, I'll be annoyed."

"Hey! But in this way, you became the only one among us who went out with our children." Jia Yingchun laughed.

Because it was a gathering of sisters, everyone didn't take the children out of the house. Otherwise, Jia Yingchun's two sons and a daughter, Xue Baochai's one son and a daughter, and Jia Tanchun's son who just turned one year old, Fengyang County The Lord has three sons, plus Lin Daiyu also has a son and a daughter. Counting the number of people, it is enough to open a kindergarten.

"So we have to be more careful today. The fourth sister is the most important time. It's a pity that you didn't have the chance to meet my sister-in-law's daughter. Now I feel that we are all compared by a little girl, even though we are only five years old. , but that delicate appearance, even my mother-in-law said that she was better than my sister-in-law." What Xue Baochai was talking about was Zhen Yinglian who married Xue Pan, the former Xiangling.

Xiangling has been married to Xue Pan for many years and only has one daughter, but Xue Pan loves her only daughter very much. Xue Pan refused even when Aunt Xue asked her to take a concubine for her son several times. , barely made Aunt Xue angry, but after being persuaded by Xue Baochai, she simply let go.

Yang Wending was originally from the capital, and he was the head of the Xing Department for the first time, so there was no big obstacle. Xue Baochai also had a special relationship with Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun and others, so he quickly integrated into the social activities of the ladies in the inner house.

In the past few years, first several elders passed away one after another, and later, there were major national events such as the death of the emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor. Everyone's official positions also underwent a major change according to whether the new emperor paid attention to it, such as Situ Duan's reassignment. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Xiao Yun was transferred to lead the army, General Wei You, Jia Lian happily kicked out the right servant of the household department who had just taken the position not long ago, and took over by himself. As for the previous one, it was two years ago after Lin Ruhai died of illness , was promoted to fill Lin Ruhai's position.

In addition, Lin Heng was also transferred from the Hanlin Academy to serve as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Wending, who had a little relationship, was transferred to the Jiangxi Qingli Department of the Ministry of Households as a doctor.

On the day when Jia Yingchun and Xiao Yun's youngest daughter, Xiao Qiong, got married, she wiped her tears while watching her daughter's sedan chair leave. After the procession of seeing her off was gone, the two daughters-in-law came out of the inner courtyard in a hurry, and the eldest daughter-in-law was busy cleaning up the aftermath. , the youngest daughter-in-law had to persuade her mother-in-law to rest in the house, but no one dared to say anything else, for fear of accidentally making her mother-in-law cry again, until the men from the Xiao family came back, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I thought that there is nothing to say about the kindness of the mother-in-law to them, but the father-in-law loves the mother-in-law too much, sometimes even their husbands can't bear it, let alone their daughter-in-law?

Xiao Fang was born when Jia Yingchun was 30 years old. Jia Yingchun always felt that giving birth to Xiao Fang was much harder than when giving birth to her eldest daughter Xiao Ling, but in fact, her body was always in good shape, so good that she couldn't bear her own It hurts, and the main reason is because Jia Yingchun has been raised more and more delicately by Xiao Yun. Every time she goes to a banquet, there will always be unknown official wives who will think that she is the bride of which family, and they can't tell that she has three children. mother.

Jia Amnesty died in a dream. During the time of the funeral, Jia Yingchun went back to Jia's house several times to offer incense. Jia Baoyu, who hadn't seen her face for many years, saw her. The person said, "Who is that person? Why does he look so similar to the second sister?"

"How could Second Master Bao not recognize her? Isn't she the second aunt of our family! But you probably haven't seen each other for a long time. To be honest, I haven't seen any aunt who has been married for more than ten years and still looks like a young woman. I remember that I was lucky enough to see my second aunt once, hey! That appearance is almost the same as what I see now, our second aunt is really lucky."

"That's the second sister? How is it possible?! Which water-like girl is not like a rigid fish-eye after marriage, how can she be so flexible? You must be wrong." Jia Baoyu couldn't believe it. Said to himself.

These years, Jia Baoyu's life has really not been very easy. Shi Xiangyun sold the attacker Sheyue around him early on, leaving Qiuwen, Qianxue, and Liu Wu'er, who only know how to quarrel all day long. Girls who are obviously not married, but they are becoming more and more like fish eyes... Jia Baoyu hated the beautiful and beautiful maids in the past. He thought that if they didn't get married, they would be as pure as water, but he forgot These maidservants have had intimate relationships with him long ago, how can they still be as simple and considerate as before?But he was still having such ridiculous daydreams.

Shi Xiangyun tried his best to give birth to a son in the year when sister Qiao got married. For the future of this son, Shi Xiangyun became more and more unwilling to give a dime to the maids around Jia Baoyu for their enjoyment, so Jia Baoyu didn't wait for her. I have seen her, but for Shi Xiangyun, she no longer cares whether Jia Baoyu has her in his heart, as long as she has a son, it is enough.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng sees everything that Shi Xiangyun does. She never helps Shi Xiangyun from the unknown, but she often turns around to help Shi Xiangyun. When Shi Xiangyun's only son, Jia Yun, was six years old, Wang Xifeng took the initiative for the first time. Go to Shi Xiangyun and ask her to send Jia Yun to study. The bundle of silk, paper and pens and other things will be paid by the Gongzhong of Jia's mansion.

After Rongning and Ningfu were confiscated, the emperor did not prohibit the children of the Jia family from taking imperial examinations to become officials... After all, Jia She and his son were still serving in the court, so this point was a bit redundant, so there was no such prohibition.

That year, Rongguo's mansion collapsed, and Jia's mother died of illness. Jia Amnesty resigned according to the ceremony, but was taken away by the emperor to stay in office. He only agreed that Jia Lian would resign from his post on behalf of his father and keep his filial piety. After his mother's coffin returned to Jinling, Jia Lan lived with his mother Li Wan in the ancestral home in Jinling. He did not come to the capital again until the new emperor ascended the throne and opened Enke next year. This year, Jia Lan was already 20 years old and had not yet married.

In the end, Jia Lan was lucky enough to be admitted, and he was No. 30 in the second class. Jia Lian found a way for him and entered the Imperial Academy as a scholar. The news spread back to Jinling. So Jia Lian, who still wanted to find a wife for Jia Lan in Beijing, had no choice but to shake his head and sigh and postpone his original plan. It was not until three years later that he found a marriage for him. The woman was the daughter of a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, because a few years ago, The two parties have already communicated through their mouths, so this matter is not slow to deal with it. After about a year, Jia Lan will be married, and then naturally everything depends on himself.

Jia Yingchun always felt that the days passed quickly, as if every time she closed her eyes or opened her eyes, someone among the people she knew would hear something important.

No... When she had just embraced her great-grandson, the death knell sounded again in the palace. The empress dowager Jiang who she had known since she was young and watched each other all the way to the top of life also left.

"Hey! Everyone is gone. Sister Lin is gone, and Sister Bao is gone. The old man has the worst intentions. He actually left five years earlier than me. I just don't know if Tanchun and Xichun are doing well now?" Jia Yingchun said Face sighed sadly.

The eldest daughter-in-law Lu Shi behind her held a letter in her hand, and she was even more afraid to take it out. The letter contained the news of Jia Tanchun's death in Guangzhou. However, how could she dare to provoke her mother-in-law again?So I can only keep silent.

The empress dowager passed away, Jia Yingchun, as the second-rank wife, had to go to the palace to cry, and then buried in the imperial mausoleum with other imperial ladies, when she and the Lu family came back from the imperial mausoleum, The complexion of the whole person looked very bad, seeing his mother in such a mood, Xiao Ran couldn't bear to secretly complain to Mrs. Lu in grief, and Mrs. Lu also felt that she couldn't speak. It might be the same as before, and frankly speaking, since the father-in-law was gone, the complexion of the mother-in-law has deteriorated day by day. If there are still a few aunts around, the mother-in-law might have been there...but how dare she refute?I can only bow my head and let my husband scold me.

But did Xiao Ran really not know about his mother's situation?Of course not, he was also afraid that his mother might leave with his father, but he didn't dare to show this emotion on his face, so he could only secretly send an urgent letter to his younger brother Xiao Kun who was doing business in Jiangnan, asking him to come back and see him soon. On the mother's side, even the older and younger sisters got the news, and each returned from her husband's house to do her last in front of her mother.

Xiao Kun took his wife and children and even drove for a month, and finally returned to the capital in time. On the third day after they came back, Jia Yingchun passed away with a smile. Put a full stop.

The author has something to say: press the last chapter before the end...it's really the last chapter~~~ Dansu still didn't write about Miaoyu, huh? !So where did Miaoyu go?It can only become a mystery from now on, because this small Guliang, Morou has never been able to understand why she was named one of the twelve gold hairpins in Jinling =.=.
