The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Mrs. Xing led Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu all the way back to the Jia Amnesty Court, and she couldn't help laughing out loud. She laughed and said, "Oh! It's a relief today. It's the first time I Seeing her deflated, why is she happy that the niece of the waibalu only got a selection spot, and she forgot that her own daughter suffered in the palace."

"So my wife knows it too, but it's a pity that the second wife was driven into a coma for some reason, and she's still so happy." Jia Yingchun reluctantly stepped forward to pat the breathless Mrs. Xing, and did not forget to agree.

"Hey! Do you really think I have never seen the world? I have been on good terms with several princes and wives these years, and there is a big girl in the palace, let alone you, a silly girl. This kind of thing You should know something about everything." Seeing that Jia Yingchun dared to underestimate her, Mrs. Xing angrily stretched out her finger to poke Jia Yingchun's forehead.

"Ma'am, what you said is very true. I just don't know which Xue family this Xue family is? If it is the Xue family I know, I'm afraid there are still some problems with the so-called selection quota." Chen Nanny asked abruptly. .

"Huh?" Hearing this, Jia Yingchun raised her head instantly and looked at Nanny Chen suspiciously.

Jia Yingchun didn't understand what Nanny Chen meant, but Mrs. Xing understood, and she smiled more happily and replied, "I'm afraid it's really the Xue family that Nanny Chen knows. The family is in unison, even other places don’t know about it, but it’s impossible for people in Jinling and the capital to know about it.”

"It's really the Xue family of the imperial merchant? In this way, it is impossible for his family to be eligible for the selection. I am afraid that the quota is for the money or someone else." Chen Mama frowned and said with great concern.

"The Xue family is really not afraid of death. This matter of impersonating the election can be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor. Who would do such a stupid thing?" Zhou Nanny said with a look of contempt.

"The Xue family may think that money can really turn ghosts around. Since they are an imperial merchant, they must lack everything except money, but Mother Chen is so sure that the selection of the Xue family girl is a replacement?" Jia Yingchun also felt a little bit Confused, the original book said that Xue Baochai was a candidate for going to Beijing, why are the two nuns now saying that it is impossible? !

"There are regulations in the selection of show girls. Women must be from good families over the age of 13 and under the age of 16, and the so-called good families are not witches, doctors, merchants or workers. Imperial merchants are also merchants. How could they be eligible? Entering the palace?" Nanny Chen explained solemnly with a sullen face.

"Sister Chen and I live in ordinary families in the local area, but most of the small families like ours don't want to send their daughters to the palace, so it's not difficult to get a place, but the hard part is that if you really send your daughter After being sent to the palace, it would be nice if he could live in peace and order until he was out of the palace, if he had any idea... Sigh!" Zhou Nanny sighed slightly after saying this, and she didn't want to say any more .

But Jia Yingchun understood. It turned out that Xue Baochai was doomed to lose the election. She had the ambition to be a high-ranking student, but who in the palace was not shrewd?If it's just a woman from a small merchant, I'm afraid she can really get in, but the imperial merchant!Merchants who specialize in purchasing palace supplies, who do they think they can deceive?And it seems that Xue's family has the greatest chance of using money to buy a quota for Xue Baochai, alas!I really don't know what Aunt Xue thinks.

"But I think it's just an excuse for Mrs. Xue to enter Beijing as a candidate. I remember that she is the same year as Ying Yatou, and she is only 11 years old this year. How can the concubine be sure that her name is on the roster? And I heard that the Xue family is here. Jinling seems to have committed a lawsuit, and the verdict has not yet been handed down, but they have already rushed to the capital one by one, they are quite courageous." After laughing for a while, Mrs. Xing restrained her expression and said seriously.

"Is it courageous? Although we don't know, we can see that the old lady and the second lady don't seem to care about it, but the lady must allow me to say something disrespectful. If a family like the Rongguo Mansion If you can't gain face with the emperor, you should take the principle of not breaking the bottom line and keep a low profile as the first priority. Otherwise, no one can tell when the people above dislike you. There happened to be such a thing that was very wrong, but I didn't say it all the time." Nanny Chen stared at Madam Xing suspiciously, and said.

"Wh, what's wrong? Mammy, please remind me." Mrs. Xing's heart suddenly trembled when she heard these words, and a chill felt on her back.

"Now the master is only the title of first-class general, and he has no real position, but I see that there is still a plaque on the gate of our mansion. At worst, it's overstepping the rules and committing the crime of deceiving the emperor. Madam wants to laugh at the second wife here, so it's better to think about how to persuade the master to change the plaque on the door." Madam Chen's tone It became more and more severe.

"Is it so serious?!" Mrs. Xing's voice suddenly raised in fear.

"Ma'am, don't worry, don't worry! Nanny Chen just said it now, indicating that there is still a chance to make amends, so don't scare yourself first." Jia Yingchun hurriedly patted Mrs. Xing on the back again, softly Said calmly.

"I'm afraid it will be really serious. I heard my father say some class rules before. What kind of family can only have such a facade. Even if others are in other places, they don't dare to be arrogant easily. Although they are among the third rank but the appearance of the family is only a little higher than that of ordinary gentry families, and my father said that he would rather lower his posture than go over the past." Lin Daiyu seemed to be afraid that Mrs. Xing would not believe it, and nodded in agreement.

"What, what can I do? Is the master willing to listen to me? Will the old lady agree? I... I dare not say it!" Mrs. Xing turned around with a pale face and sweating profusely .

"I wonder if it would be more feasible to ask my father to come forward to persuade my uncle? After all, my first aunt is a woman in the house, so I can't control their outside affairs. If my father brings it up, my uncle will not be able to refute my father's reasoning." "It was Lin Daiyu who was considerate and smart, knowing that she would move her father out to be a rescuer at such a time.

"Hey! Of course it's good like this, but... who knows when Mrs. Lin will be able to return to Beijing. If he doesn't return for many years, wouldn't it be worthless?" Mrs. Xing said with joy at first, and then with sadness.

"The eldest aunt is really confused. I dare to make this suggestion because I know when my father will return to the capital." Lin Daiyu smiled and covered her mouth.

"Ah?! Really?! When will Master Lin return to Beijing?" Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked eagerly.

"Next year! My father wrote in a letter two days ago, saying that next year he will return to Beijing to report on his work, and that our father and daughter will have a good time together." Lin Daiyu smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes curled up.

"Then girl Lin, you should mention it to Mrs. Lin first, bless our family with a lucky escape, and thank you for being here first." Mrs. Xing couldn't help but smile when she heard the words, and also Regardless of the difference in status, he quickly saluted Lin Daiyu and said.

"Auntie, don't bully Yu'er like this." Lin Daiyu hastily avoided Mrs. Xing's gift.

Mrs. Xing smiled, and after she let go of the big stone in her heart, she talked to Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu about the homework, and then let them go back to their room to rest.

When Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu returned to the Feixue Pavilion, Jia Yingchun thought that there was nothing wrong with her, so it would be better to play a game of chess with Lin Daiyu, so she asked Siqi to fetch the chessboard, and when she raised her head to greet Lin Daiyu, she found Zhou Nanny He looked at her suspiciously.

"Nurse Zhou, is there something wrong with me? Why do you keep staring at me?" Jia Yingchun glanced at Nanny Zhou, then lowered her head to examine herself for what was wrong.

"Actually, the source of the Xue family's news is not fake. I just met a sister who was out of the palace a few days ago. She did reveal that the empress thought about the emptiness of the harem, and she was afraid of damaging her reputation, so she spoke to the emperor. Regarding the draft, the emperor seems to agree with it, but because it has to be selected from all over the country, it is difficult to take a long time, so it is not known to pass the news to the local officials first. The roster for entering the palace is confirmed, and the girl's age is counted...just in time to be on it." Zhou Nanny said with some regret.

"...Look at what Mammy said, don't forget that big sister is already in the palace." Jia Yingchun was in a daze for a while, then replied calmly.

"It's not uncommon for sisters to attend to the king's side, and the second girl is no better than the previous eldest girl. The second master only started from the position of a fifth-rank officer and a foreigner. It is considered good for the eldest girl to enter the palace as a female officer. The master inherited the third-rank title. , if a girl enters the palace, she must be named Jieyu or a beauty, that is the real harem woman who is qualified to serve the emperor." Chen Mama also echoed at this time.

"I~~~ No, no! Just kidding, how old is the emperor, I don't want to serve an old man!" Jia Yingchun stared wide-eyed, took a few steps back in horror, and waved his hands repeatedly in praise.

"The current emperor is only in his early thirties, why is he such an old man? Girl, don't talk nonsense." Nanny Zhou lowered her face and scolded in a low voice.

"I don't care. Even if I'm only in my 30s, I'm still much older than me. Besides, I didn't say it in front of my wife just now. She must have known what I was thinking, right? You must know how to let me My name is not on the roster, right?" Jia Yingchun is not stupid, after a while, she understood that the two nuns were just trying to scare her, and she might have already thought about how to deal with it, so she immediately flattered her Wrapping Nanny Chen's arm, she asked with a smile.

"How do I know what the girl is thinking? Maybe you feel that you have no status in this mansion, and you always think that it is not always certain that you will be able to feel proud someday. How can I have the nerve to break the girl's career?" Chen Nanny swept lightly He glanced at Jia Yingchun and replied coolly.

"No, no, everything is the only one. I will never complain about Mammy, and I will thank Mammy heavily, Mammy~~ I don't want to enter the palace, I don't want to enter the palace, I don't want to enter the palace." Jia Yingchun slapped her head recklessly, with one sentence on her left and right: never enter the palace.

"Okay, what about your rules? What about your etiquette?! There's no such thing as a scribble. Seeing how nervous you are, when the news officially comes out, Shi Taijun will definitely find a way to get your name crossed out. Didn't you see her face today? She obviously cares about the fact that the Xue family girl may also enter the palace. Think about it, a girl from a foreign family makes her feel taboo, let alone you? You put millions Be careful." Chen Momo angrily pulled Jia Yingchun's hand away, and then glared at her.

"Hey! It's the first time I've seen my second sister look so unruly. It's really not a good thing to enter the palace. I don't know why there are so many people rushing to enter the palace." Lin Daiyu smiled from the side Watching Jia Yingchun messing around with the two nuns, she couldn't really understand Jia Yingchun's determination not to enter the palace.
