The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Mrs. Wang returned to Rongxi Hall with the bank note, and asked the little girl to call Jia Lian. Jia Lian greeted Mrs. Wang, and she heard Mrs. Wang say, "Lien'er, you must have heard about your cousin Pan. It's all over, your aunt wants to ask you to take care of it, so that your cousin won't suffer in prison." Jia Lian said, "Speaking of which Xue Pan is my cousin, I will definitely take care of him, it's just some money." Mrs. Wang He said: "You don't have to worry about it. This is the 3000 taels of silver from your aunt. You can take it." Jia Lian said: "Nowadays, it costs several hundred taels of silver to invite someone to eat. This money..." Wang Madam had no choice but to take another 2000 taels, and said: "Your aunt gave so much, you go and get it first." Jia Lian knew that she could only get so much, so she said goodbye and took the money back to herself courtyard.

Sister Feng was talking with Ping'er in the room. Since Wang Xifeng returned to Jia's mother Ping'er, Ping'er became Jia Lian's aunt. Just like before, she didn't compete for favor. Jia Lian looked at his beautiful wife and concubines, and gradually stopped going out to fool around. He only watched Feng Jie and Ping Er to live a good life and take care of Feng Jie carefully.When Sister Feng saw Jia Lian coming back, she hurriedly said, "Second master, is the second wife looking for you?" Jia Lian said, "Isn't Xue Pan sentenced to death? , the second wife came to me and gave me 5000 taels of silver, asking me to find someone to take care of Xue Pan in the prison."

Sister Feng said: "In this case, you can go and take care of it. Xue Pan said so because my cousin has been sentenced to death. He deserves the crime. We don't have to help him, but we can do it by letting him not suffer in prison." Jia Lian said : "Young lady is right, I just go to find a friend who is in charge of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, just don't let him be abused in there, just take it as a good deed for our child." He said again: "Feng'er, this is 5000 taels I'll take 1000 liang of banknotes for Xue Pan, and you can keep the rest." Sister Feng took the banknotes and said with a smile, "Then keep them for our children first." Jia Lian talked with Sister Feng's Ping'er again, So I went out to deal with Xue Pan's affairs.

Although the matter of Xue Pan was mentioned, Baoyu and Xue Baochai's marriage will still be held as scheduled. After all, the marriage was bestowed by the empress. Fortunately, Xue Pan's death penalty has yet to be decided by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there is still room for change. Aunt Xue can only rely on Jia's family now. Therefore, she paid more attention to the good marriage of gold and jade, and hoped that the concubine Yuan could help Xue Pan for Baoyu's sake, so she made great efforts to prepare Xue Baochai's dowry.Jia Xue's family is busy with their marriage.Daiyu and Yingchun Xichun are still together every day, but Tanchun drifts away from San because she wants to be a housekeeper.Sister Feng's health has improved a lot under the doctor's treatment, but she doesn't care about everything. She only stays with her son, Mrs. Xing. Jia amnesty.Jia Mu is accompanied by mandarin ducks every day, and she doesn't worry about it unless it is a big event.But Jia Baoyu is still living in his dream of marrying Daiyu.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of November. On this day, Mother Jia was playing dominoes with the old mothers in the room. Suddenly, she heard the little girl outside say: "Old ancestor, Princess Beijing and Princess Nan'an are here, and they are almost outside the gate." As soon as the mother heard this, she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and go to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Zhu'er's daughter-in-law and Feng girl to meet you at the door." After a while, it was packed, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also came over. Mother Jia hurriedly took everyone to the main gate of Jia's mansion, opened the main gate, and greeted the two ladies.After a while, the luan of the two concubines arrived, and Mother Jia hurriedly led the female family members of Jia's family to kneel down and salute. Princess Beijing hurriedly said, "You don't need to be polite, old lady, please get up." Mother Jia and others thanked them, and then He took the two ladies to Jiamu's room.

For a while, the two empresses sat in the main seat. Seeing that Jiamu and the others were still sitting, Princess Nan'an hurriedly smiled and said, "Madam, get up and sit down. Today we two came uninvited, causing trouble to the house." Jiamu was busy Don't dare, thank you again, and then do it on the side of the twig.After everyone said the courteous words of the meeting, Wang Taifei of Beijing asked: "I heard that there are several girls in the house who are both talented and beautiful. I wonder if we two can meet?" Prince Beijing has reached the age of marriage, and the two concubines want to show off their children. This is a good thing, no matter who is favored, even if it is a side concubine, it is also good. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: " Yuanyang, hurry up and ask Miss Lin and Sanchun to come here." Yuanyang agreed to go down, and Jia Mu and others continued to talk with the two princesses, and when they were young, they heard the little girl say: "Miss Lin, Miss [-], Miss [-], Miss [-] are here." Niao Tingting walked in four girls.

The first girl has slightly plump skin, a medium figure, fresh cheeks, a goose fat nose, gentle and silent, and is amiable to look at. The second girl has slender shoulders and a thin waist, a tall figure, a duck-egg face, handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, and Gu Pan. Shenfei, the essence of literary beauty, forgets the vulgarity when you see it, the third one looks slightly cool and pink and jade-carved, it is really cute, and the last girl has a thin face and cheeks, a thin waist, curly Tingting, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes The frowning autumn water is clear, and what is even more rare is the light and agile temperament.The four people are like four flowers, only staring at the two empresses.It wasn't until the four of them saluted the two empresses that they said: "Minister Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, and Lin Daiyu have seen the empresses." I came in a hurry, so I just prepared some jewelry, let the sisters take it to play with." After speaking, the maidservant of Concubine Nan'an brought up four boxes, presumably the most prepared ones, and gave them to the four of them, and the four of them Busily thanking Princess Nan'an, Princess Beijing smiled and said, "You took the lead again." He also asked the servant girl to bring a gift to the private person, and called Lin Daiyu to come forward, took her hand and asked Jia Mu: " Is this a child of sister Min's family?"

Jia's mother said, "It's Min'er's daughter." Princess Beijing said, "That's it, Miss Lin, how about I take you in as my daughter? I only have Rong'er and I'm thinking of having a daughter to accompany me." Now, I like you very much when I see you, are you willing to recognize me as your mother?"

Daiyu was held by Concubine Beijing's warm and big hands, and she felt warm in her heart. After Jia Min left, no one held her hand like this except Jia Mu. Her eye circles turned red for a while, and Jia Mu hurriedly said "It's her luck that the empress likes her, Yu'er, you have recognized this foster mother." Seeing that Daiyu's eyes were red, Dowager Bei Jing hurriedly said: "My good boy, if you don't want to, don't force it." Daiyu said: "Yu'er thought of her when she saw her, and she lost her composure and asked her to forgive her." Princess Bei Jing smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to. If that's the case, you agree? Good boy, You still don’t change your name to your mother.” Jia’s mother on the side wanted to smile like this: “Yu’er, why don’t you salute your mother?” At this time, a maid brought a mat to worship, and Daiyu saluted Princess Beijing, saying: “ Yu'er has met her adoptive mother." Princess Beijing hurriedly helped Daiyu up, and said with a smile, "Good boy, I can just call you concubine mother from now on." Daiyu nodded in agreement, and another servant girl brought over a big box, and Bei Grand Concubine Jing took it, and said with a smile: "My dear daughter, this is given to you by the concubine mother, you take it first." Everyone in Jia's mansion was puzzled, it was obvious that this was prepared long ago. What exactly do you mean, but before you have time to think about it, Princess Nan'an said: "My sister recognizes my daughter, and I can't fall behind. I see that the third girl has the character of my youth, old lady, I want to recognize her as my daughter. How are you?"

Everyone in Jia's mansion was overwhelmed by these incidents, it was Jia's mother who reacted first, and hurriedly said: "This is Sanya's blessing, Sanya, don't salute the princess yet." Jia Tanchun hurriedly knelt down Said: "My daughter has met her adoptive mother." Princess Nan'an hurriedly got Tanchun up, and then said to Princess Beijing: "Okay, my daughter is finished, sister, let's go." Princess Beijing was pulling Dai Yu's hand whispered, listening to this, she smiled and said: "We have been begging for mercy for a while, and we can go back." Someone said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, would you like to live in the palace with your mother and concubine?" Daiyu laughed. "Yu'er naturally wants to be with my mother and concubine, but I also want to be with my grandmother. Besides, I haven't packed it up yet. I can wait until my concubine misses Yu'er before going there, okay?"

Concubine Bei Jing smiled and said: "You are such a filial child, the concubine mother will leave first, and the day after tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up to play in the palace for a few days, you are not allowed to go." Daiyu agreed with a smile.Princess Nan'an also told Tanchun that she would come to pick her up in two days, and she took Princess Beijing away.

All the people in Jia's house sent the two ladies away, and went back to Jia's mother. Seeing that Daiyu and Sanchun were tired, they asked Li Wan to take them back. Sister Feng also accompanied Daiyu because she was pregnant.Only the two wives of King Xing were left, and they asked the little girl to find Jia to pardon Jia Zheng.When everyone arrived, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng heard about the concubine's recognition of her daughter, and asked, "Madam, is this true?" Jia's mother said, "Of course it is true." Jia Zheng said, "Listen." It is said that the prince of Nan'an lost the battle in the southeast, and the court wanted to make a marriage, so the princess would not recognize her daughter for the sake of a marriage, right?"

Jia's mother didn't know about it. After hearing Jia Zheng's words, she hurriedly asked, "Zheng'er, is this true?" "It's no wonder that the two ladies are going to meet a few girls when they come. It turns out that they have already made up their minds. If they want to come to Tanchun, they will go to make a kiss. Then why does the Concubine Bei Jing recognize Yu'er?" Mrs. Xing beside her Said: "The daughter-in-law sees that the concubine really likes the eldest girl. In fact, only a blind person would not like the eldest girl's appearance."

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, but Mrs. Xing didn't talk to her directly, and she had no choice but to get angry inside, and said, "Maybe it's for the eldest girl to get married." The reason why people from Prince Jing’s Mansion go to marry, if you really want to get married, it must be Tanchun.”

Jia Amnesty hurriedly said: "This is a good thing for our family." Jia Zheng also said: "It is her blessing that Tanchun can make some contributions to the country." Only Jia Mu sighed: "I just feel sorry for this girl."
