The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Jia Yingchun didn't want to mention how bad the Jia family's New Year was for Concubine Jia De's relatives, but for the sake of saving face, the red envelopes given by Jia Mu, Jia Zhen and others this year are two or three times richer than in previous years , Jia Yingchun thought that at least it was a small fortune, although it was much worse than her private money.

As described in the original book, at the beginning of the first lunar month, some palace servants came to inspect the direction and how to use it in various places, and inspected the local prime minister's customs and eunuchs, etc., and came with their little eunuchs. The curtains and other places are all ready one by one, and they also need to guide the people in Jia's mansion, including advancing and retreating, walking and other related matters.

Nanny Zhou once pointed out Jia Yingchun about palace rules and etiquette, so she was not as flustered as Jia Tanchun and the others. She just felt that the emperor had to spend so much trouble and waste money in order to set a trap for others. I have to get back ten times and a hundred times from these people.

On the night of the [-]th, the Rongning and Ning mansions were brightly lit all night, and there was no rest in the mansion. Jia Mu originally asked Jia She and his family to come and chat with everyone, but Jia She refused and said: The next day wasn't Xiumu, he didn't ask for leave, he had to rest, even Jia Lian and Jia Yingchun didn't stay, Jia Lian needless to say, didn't want to be on errand, Wang Xifeng is a twin, there's no reason to toss about there, All three of them have gone back, so how can Mrs. Xing and Jia Yingchun stay?They simply went back to Jia's Mansion to rest together, and it would not be too late to wait until the next day, not to mention that everyone knew that Jia Yuanchun could not get the decree to leave the palace in the morning, because there was a palace banquet in the afternoon that he had to attend, and he had to accompany the emperor and empress to watch the lanterns. After three delays and four delays, it was impossible to get out of the palace before dusk.

Before dawn, all the high-ranking female family members of Rongning and Ningfu had already got up, dressed according to their grades, and waited with Jia Mu at the gate of Rongfu. Mrs. Xing naturally also put on the dress of a fourth-rank respectful person, and even Wang Xifeng was a fifth-rank man. Looking at the gown, Jia Yingchun was only a young girl who had not left the cabinet, so she asked Nanny Zhou to choose a dress that looked grand, and followed Mrs. Xing Wang Xifeng to the gate to wait for the welcome chariot.

When Mrs. Xing, mother, daughter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the place where Mother Jia and the others were waiting outside the gate of the Rong Mansion, Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Xing with a trace of doubt on her face, but Mrs. Wang stared at Mrs. Xing with a livid face. There is no other reason for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but because the regulation of the dress she wears is exactly the same as that of Wang Xifeng, which is a big deal for Mrs. Wang.

Logically speaking, Mrs. Wang should wear the official dress of the third rank, but generally speaking, the dresses of the commanding wife are formulated and issued by the Ministry of Rites. However, in the nearly one year since Jia Zheng was ennobled, the official dress of the third rank belonged to Jia Zheng. It had already been delivered by the people from the Ministry of Rites, but Mrs. Wang's gown has not been seen for a long time. Mrs. Wang asked people to inquire secretly, but the result was that there was no order from above, so no one would make their own decisions.

Mrs. Wang waited until the beginning of last month before she found out that the emperor did not seal her rank with Jia Zheng's title. It was only because she was so happy that she finally became the head of the Rongguo Mansion, but she didn't. Thinking of such a mistake, now that she wants the third-rank seal, she can only wait for Jia Zheng to ask for it, but Jia Zheng is extremely passive, and I don't know if it has been paid. Until today, Mrs. Wang still only has the original one. Order of the fifth grade, Mrs. Wang glared at Mrs. Xing with some hatred, and felt a thorn in her back from time to time. Although other people may not notice such small details, Mrs. Wang deeply thought that she had lost all face at this time. Now, taking a sneak peek at You Shi, who was also wearing a third-rank official dress, Mrs. Wang's resentment towards Jia Zheng inevitably increased a bit.

Jia Yingchun stood silently in the most inconspicuous place among the crowd, and occasionally raised her head to look at Xue Baochai who was also quietly standing not far from her. Unlike the original book, Lin Daiyu did not appear here. I heard that the day before When Jia's mother sent someone to pick up Lin Daiyu, it was Lin Ruhai who personally turned down the Lai family who went to pick up Lin Daiyu. It is not necessary to go through this journey in vain.

Although Jia Yingchun didn't see Jia Mu's face when she heard those answers, she guessed that it must be green and white and extremely ugly... But what Lin Ruhai said was right, because even Shi Xiangyun didn't come to participate in the event, so why did Lin Daiyu To come?As for Xue Baochai?That is an exception among exceptions. To put it bluntly, the relationship between her and Jia Yuanti is closer than that of Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun, so there is nothing wrong with appearing here.

"Second sister, you just came in from there, you must have seen the situation ahead, right? Isn't it very lively?" Because there were too many people watching the excitement, Jia Tanchun couldn't see the situation ahead even if she stood behind, she thought When Jia Yingchun came from the other side, he should have seen it a few times, so he asked Jia Yingchun curiously.

"I can't see clearly either, as you can see, the streets on both sides have been covered with curtains, and many people from the palace have been sent out to watch along the roads, presumably because they don't want those common people to disturb the empress's carriage, we just now You came here in a hurry, how dare you look at it too much?" Jia Yingchun shook her head and replied apologetically.

"Oh..." Jia Tanchun lowered her head in disappointment, but she didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Jia Yingchun said she didn't see it, so she must have not seen it, because she knew that her second sister never liked to follow the crowd. Let's join in the fun together, so naturally I won't pay special attention to things in other places.

"Third sister, don't worry too. Turn around and ask the maids who are going to serve in front to come and talk to you. At any rate, few are better than nothing. I just don't know when the empress will come. Don't tell us to wait for nothing." Xue Baochai was on the side. Smiled lightly.

"It's not easy for your empress to go out of the palace once, why can't you stay longer?" Jia Tanchun asked in puzzlement.

"Remember the last time I mentioned to you about Concubine Wu's family visit? I heard that on that day, the imperial concubine and empress only left the palace when she was young, and returned to the palace when she was ugly. Excluding the time on the road, she only stayed in Wu's house for more than two days. It's around the hour, and there are so many maids in the court, who are still scrupulous about the royal rules everywhere, so there is no such thing as family happiness." Xue Baochai's tone had a hint of pity.

Xue Baochai probably felt that Mrs. Wang was less and less kind to her than before, so she was more cautious when thinking about things, and gradually realized that she did not have to marry Jia Baoyu, and according to Xue Baochai's intelligence, once After jumping out of that fog, what can be difficult for her?

Therefore, she can understand Mrs. Wang's growing indifference. After all, her identities are different now. In the past, Jia Zheng's first house was not the serious master of Rongguo Mansion, but because Jia's mother favored them, they just let them occupy the main courtyard. After all, maybe there is some lack of confidence, but now that she is a legitimate protagonist, Mrs. Wang would naturally hope that Jia Baoyu can find a wife with a more appropriate status. But it is determined not to.

Not long after noon, Jia Yingchun and the others found the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and then Mrs. Jia Muwang and others were in a hurry, and then everyone received the message that they could go back to the inner courtyard to rest temporarily, so a group of people So she came to Jia Mu's main room in a mighty way, because Wang Xifeng was pregnant and didn't care about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, so Mrs. Wang had no choice but to ask Li Wan to stay and take care of trivial matters, and let Grandma Rong of the East Mansion Help out.

The servant girls Hu Po and Glass who stayed in the yard saw that the masters had come back, so they stepped forward and asked, "Why did the old lady and the madam come back first? We haven't heard the news of your empress coming yet."

"Just now the inner minister of the palace kindly came to inform that the empress would take some time to leave the palace, so we will come back to rest for the time being, and it will not be too late to go out and wait." Wang Xifeng took the initiative to explain their confusion.

"So that's how it is. Just now we were still guessing that the empress might not be able to leave the palace and return home so early." Hu Po nodded and smiled suddenly.

"Old lady, why don't you have dinner first, didn't the inner minister just say that the empress would come out after attending the palace banquet, and she would not want to see the old lady dare not even eat a drop of water or a mouthful of food in order to wait for her. " Mrs. Wang was bored outside, and she was forced to stand for a long time. She was already hungry and panicked, but she was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to eat by herself, so she turned the corner and asked Jia Mu.

"Anyway, the banquet outside has already been set up. Let's use some food by the way. Amber, you go to the kitchen to prepare another banquet. No matter what the dishes are, just prepare them and send them here." Mother Jia nodded in agreement. , and asked Amber to inform the kitchen to prepare meals.

"Hey!" Amber responded, and then quickly left the room.

After Jiamu and the others had dinner, they figured it was almost time, so they went to wait at the gate again. After dusk fell, candles were lit everywhere, and the leading eunuch who escorted Jia Yuanchun out of the palace finally appeared, followed by the following The guard of honor is not detailed one by one.

The attendants, Zhaorong and Concubine Cai, led Jia Yuanchun to step down from the palace, and then escorted Jia Yuanchun into the room to change clothes, then climbed into the sedan chair to enter the garden, and visited the beautiful scenery in the garden. Exempt them one by one.

After visiting the garden, Jia Yuanchun changed into regular clothes again, got in the car and drove out of the garden again, and then came to Jia Mu's main room. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang felt closer to Jia Yuanchun. They hadn't seen their relatives for many years. Mrs. Wang could not help but face each other with tears in her eyes.

Jia Yingchun looked at this seemingly touching and tearful scene, but she didn't feel like crying at all... But this is not surprising, Jia Yuanchun and the others are quite different in age. After a long time, it will inevitably be weak.

But when Jia Yingchun heard Jia Yuanchun utter the classic line in the original book, she couldn't help but roll her eyes... Calculating the time since Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, it must have been ten years, right?If it wasn't for Qin Keqing's stepping stone, how could she have the chance to become the emperor's woman?It's just that if she didn't have that kind of thought in the past, she didn't have to listen to Jia Mu's advice at that time. Now that she knows the hardships of living in the palace, what's the use of despising that shameful place? !

Afterwards, Jia Yuanchun met Li Wan and Jia Yingchun one by one. Jia Yuanchun also got news about Jia Yingchun's engagement to Xiao Yun, so when she looked at Jia Yingchun, she deliberately took a few more glances, and also Said: "Congratulations to the second sister for your happy marriage. When you get married, I will definitely not forget to add makeup for you."

"My daughter, thank you for your kindness." Jia Yingchun quickly replied with a shy salute.

Jia Yuanchun didn't say much, and then asked about Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and others. It was just that when Lin Daiyu hadn't been in the house, the smile on Jia Yuanchun's face seemed to froze slightly, and then his expression was as usual. I went to invite Xue's mother and daughter to see me.

After Jia Yuanchun met Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue, he also summoned Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng, and then went to the garden with everyone to compose poems. , bid farewell to them with tears, and reluctantly went back to the palace.

The author has something to say: I always feel that the main line is being dragged... In fact, many places are simply brought over with reference to the content of the original work. If I want to describe it in detail based on my own imagination, I probably have to go to Du Niang again... (╯︿╰﹀.

In order not to make the children's shoes feel boring, let's focus on the protagonist's line. As for the others, although I don't have much ink, but when I remember, I will still work on them.
