The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

After Jia Yuanchun's relatives returned to the palace, as if they wanted to regain the family relationship that had been separated for many years, they would order people to send things out to the Rongguo Mansion from time to time, which made Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's emotions even higher. The excitement that the day of turning over is not far away completely ignores that every time the eunuchs in the palace come, they always have to seal a reward and go back, otherwise these villainous eunuchs don’t know what to do when they go back. What about the legs?

But Jia Yingchun knows that the status of nobles in the harem has always been fixed, and they are not like these women outside the palace who are more thoughtful and have their own means of collecting money. The source of income for the few concubines in the palace is the upper class. The rewards of the emperor or the monthly regulations of the maids and eunuchs or their advancement.

"What is the concubine Xiande thinking in her heart? On the day of the family visit, she complained that the old lady and the second wife should not send her into the palace, and now she is eager to please the old lady and the others. Could it be that she is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to go to the palace?" Do you want something?" Jia Yingchun was playing with the tea whisks that Jia Yuanchun had just given, what she really didn't want to say was that the things Jia Yuanchun gave them were much rougher than the few tea whisks she usually used.

Here is the same as in the original book. A few days after Jia Yuanchun visited relatives, he sent people to send lantern riddles for the younger generation of the Jia family to solve the puzzles, but the original Jia Yingchun and Jia Huan didn't guess it right. Jia Yingchun here has no intention of hiding. , so I also got a reward.

"Of course there are ideas, not to mention the women in the palace, any women in the back house of a high-ranking family are like that. If you have status, you will ask for favor, and if you have favor, you will ask for an heir. Now what the virtuous concubine wants most should be It's just a child." Nanny Zhou replied.

"I thought it was the same, but... It seems that there have been no princes and daughters born in the harem for many years. Isn't the emperor in a hurry? Are the two saints in a hurry?" Jia Yingchun asked again in wonder.

"The empress and the others are still in their prime, but in the first few years, the emperor was busy with state affairs, so apart from the empress and concubine Zhen Shu, he rarely set foot in other places in the harem. The empress was injured in her early years. It is needless to say that it is difficult to get pregnant, but even Concubine Zhen Shu has not been pregnant for many years. This has indeed caused many people to wonder, but every time a courtier brings up the issue of harem heirs, the emperor is always unwilling to answer the question. As time goes by, everyone I ignored it on purpose." Mother Zhou replied without hesitation when she heard Jia Yingchun's question because she had heard Rong Yan and others talk about the palace affairs.

Jia Yingchun guessed in his heart that the emperor probably had his own plans for his heirs, so he didn't want everyone to focus on that matter. He hadn't mentioned the matter of ample harem for many years, so he must have taken this into consideration, right?However, it also shows that the current emperor is not an incompetent person who only seeks pleasure, is greedy for beauty, or relies on women to balance the government.

"Forget it, anyway, I can't compete with those things anyway. What's the plan of the empress, the old lady will worry about it." Jia Yingchun thought about it for a while, and stopped worrying about such things. Above, and she believed that Jia Yuanchun was not so lucky.

"That's not the case, girl, let's put your mind on your dowry. Although the wedding dress doesn't need to be done by the girl herself, the gift of tea on the first day of the wedding must be given by the girl." Mother Zhou saw Jia Yingchun automatically changed the topic, and she secretly felt relieved.

Nanny Zhou thought that Jia Yingchun didn't seem to understand anything, but sometimes she was very transparent. She would inevitably worry that if this child was like the women in the Rongguo Mansion, he would not be able to make up his mind if he relied on his own knowledge. , that would be very bad. Fortunately, this girl has always understood that those things are not for her to touch.

"Anyway, it's customary to have a set of clothes, shoes and socks for each person. I know that. Uncle Linchuan and Mrs. Linchuan, as well as Uncle Xiao and Grandma Xiao, I have them all here. I'll see you tomorrow. Pick out the cloth you need, let Xiuju and Lianhuaer help you cut it, and then you can start sewing." Jia Yingchun replied without any worries.

"The girl said it lightly. If you have to work hard with your little water, I'm afraid that you may not be able to make a dress before you get married, let alone the masters of the Linchuan uncle's house?" Zhou Nanny knows her girl very well. Well, in her opinion, Miss Jia Yingchun is a 3-minute hottie, don't look at what she is saying now, maybe tomorrow, those jobs will all fall on a few maids, but she is just thinking about it, After all, Jia Yingchun didn't want to be the kind of aunt and concubine who served others in Israel, so being able to instruct people around her to do things for her was also a housekeeping skill of a mistress.

"Oh! It's good that mommy knows, why did you say it?" Jia Yingchun smiled cheekily.

Nanny Zhou didn't say anything, but shook her head helplessly, then turned around and told Xiuju that they don't have to wait an extra night to make preparations. Hearing this, he was naturally very happy, and hurriedly called He Ye and brought a few little maids to follow Nanny Zhou to the ear room to pick up cloth.

A few days later, Jia Yingchun really left the clothes making to Lianhua'er and the others, and then brought embroidered oranges to visit Lin Daiyu in the Lin Mansion.

When Lin Daiyu heard that Jia Yingchun was coming, she smiled and went to the second gate to welcome Jia Yingchun into the inner courtyard.

"It's unfortunate that the second elder sister came here. Brother Situ and Mr. Situ went out to drink tea in the street half an hour ago. If you came earlier, you might be able to take a peek at the man's appearance." Lin Daiyu stood next to Jia Yingchun. Beside, whispered.

"What? Did you see the way?" Jia Yingchun asked with a smile.

"I can't tell. I always feel like I've seen that feeling before?" Lin Daiyu replied with some confusion.

"Oh? That Mr. Situ often comes to look for Brother Lin after returning to Beijing?" Jia Yingchun asked while following Lin Daiyu.

"That's okay, I come here every ten days or eight days. My brother is going to the Imperial College to study, so it's impossible for him to come often. But I heard from my brother that after Mr. Situ came back to the capital, he didn't seem to mention his future plans. , don’t you think it’s strange? Do the children of their royal family live so easily?” Lin Daiyu was a little puzzled and contemptuous.

"How is it possible? Our emperor is not a small-minded person, but he will dig out anyone who is capable to do things for him. According to my father, no one has escaped until now. Do you think that every royal child is like Prince Zhongshun and his family are so messed up?" Jia Yingchun said with a smile.

At this time, the two had arrived in the courtyard where Lin Daiyu lived. She pulled Jia Yingchun to sit down, and said, "That's why my brother felt strange. He even went to ask my father, but my father didn't say anything. Tell him not to communicate with Mr. Situ... That's right! Didn't the second sister say she wanted to inquire for me last time? Did you inquire about anything?"

"Master Lin's suggestion should be listened to. Who do you think that Mr. Situ is? To be honest, I was also shocked when Nanny Zhou told me that day. Princess Fengyang of Prince Shun's Mansion." Jia Yingchun shook his head and sighed authentically.

"Ah?! Princess Fengyang?! That's it, isn't it, hey! No wonder I think it's weird no matter how you look at it. Doesn't Yun girl also like to tease us in men's clothes? That Situ... No, Princess Fengyang give me The feeling is the same as when I saw Yun girl wearing men's clothing." Lin Daiyu said with a dazed expression on her forehead.

"I don't know why Mrs. Lin didn't tell Brother Lin, but the other party said it was a girl's family. Brother Lin is always so unscrupulous. I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later, and Brother Lin is at the age to discuss marriage. I don’t know how many people in the capital will be watching.” Jia Yingchun’s thoughts gradually became clearer, and she realized that Lin Heng’s marriage might bring some impact to the Lin family and the court. Trouble.

"Then what should I do? I feel like my brother attaches great importance to the friendship between him and Princess Fengyang... But judging from his attitude, I know that he must have never seen that Princess Fengyang is a woman disguised as a man." Lin Daiyu frowned, worried said.

"Brother Lin doesn't know, but Princess Fengyang knows, so this matter... I'm afraid it's a bit tricky." Jia Yingchun continued.

"Is that why father didn't dare to say it? He was worried that he would offend Lord Chengshun because of this matter?" Lin Daiyu widened her eyes and said worriedly.

"It depends on the temperament of the prince and concubine Chengshun, but I also heard from Madam Zhou that the prince, concubine and the prince love the princess very much, maybe it is really possible to ask Brother Lin to marry the princess." Jia Yingchun guessed.

"Ah~." Lin Daiyu held her chin with her hands in frustration, thinking about it with a serious face, after a long time, she suddenly said: "Actually... if the future sister-in-law is the princess of Fengyang, maybe my brother won't have to work so hard. "

"Huh? How do you say it?" Jia Yingchun asked puzzled.

"Second sister forgot... During the Chinese New Year, my father and I went to visit Rongguo Mansion, and later my father came back very angry?" Lin Daiyu said in a sad and indifferent tone.

"I remember, I heard that it was the old lady who mentioned your marriage with Baoyu to Master Lin?" Jia Yingchun thought for a moment, then nodded in response.

"That's right...Father always knew what the old lady was thinking. He was only thinking of my mother and me, so he didn't want to break up with the old lady. That time...Father was really angry, right? So then the old lady sent someone When he came to pick me up to attend Concubine Xiande's family visit, my father refused them so politely." Lin Daiyu didn't have a smile on her face, she could see that her heart was very heavy.

"Don't think about it, no matter what, the old lady can't be your master. Aunt Lin has always loved you, and he won't let you be wronged." Jia Yingchun patted Lin Daiyu's back with pity, and comforted her.

"It doesn't matter to me, I'm worried about my brother... Think about it, even my father will feel restrained everywhere when he faces the old lady, not to mention that my brother is still a junior, how can he be in a better situation than his father? So I have Sometimes I think, if my sister-in-law can be as strong as Lian's second grandma in the future, she can help my brother a little, but Mother Chen told me... It is unlikely that a daughter of a real family with a background in the capital will like my brother. Of course, if my brother has some skills, maybe there is still a chance, but who knows when it will be?" Lin Daiyu's dark tone made people feel a little sore...
