[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.70 eight times everyone gossips and visits relatives

"Does your mother know about the fact that the emperor intends to call the concubines of the fourth rank and above in the palace to visit their relatives?" After telling Xia the reason for the empress' summoning, Lin Daiyu took a car back to the Lin family the next day, and asked straight to the point .

"I heard about it, but the empress said that there is no conclusion for the time being, so I didn't tell you." Jia Min asked someone to bring hot tea, "I heard that the empress summoned you yesterday, why, what did the empress tell you?" Have you mentioned this?"

"That's right, I thought that since that was the case, I'm afraid it's meant to be finalized." The only concubines above the fourth rank in the palace are the Empress, Wu Guifei, Xianfei, Chen Xiurong, Jia Yuanchun and Zhen Lan.Among them, Concubine Xian and Chen Xiurong's natal families are not in the capital, so it is difficult to go home to visit relatives.Calculated in this way, the number of relatives and concubines that can be counted with one palm, isn't it a grace?

"This time your second aunt will be proud again." In the past, there was a Concubine Kang who could suppress Jia Yuanchun, but now Jia Yuanchun was promoted to Jieyu, and Concubine Kang was degraded to a concubine. The gap can be imagined.The empress had to take into account her virtuous reputation. Concubine Wu Gui and Chen Xiurong were semi-retired characters, so only Zhen Lan could confront Jia Yuanchun.Jia Min felt that Concubine Kang's demotion was strange, but Concubine Concubine Kang's natal family was too powerful, so there was something wrong with it, the emperor and empress probably wouldn't care about it.

"Our family's relationship with the Rongguo Mansion is just a matter of affection. Even if the second aunt wants to be proud, the mother doesn't have to look at her face." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "Since there is such a decree in the palace, let's listen to it after a while. The ears are nothing more than that, after all, left and right have nothing to do with our family." No matter how favored Jia Jieyu is, she is not qualified to summon a foreigner who is not from Jia's family.

"You're right." Jia Min now has nothing to do, playing with Lin Huixuan in his arms every day, and being a wife who loves her grandchildren is too comfortable. "Your sister-in-law is pregnant again now, you can go and see her later."

"Really?" Lin Daiyu said pleasantly, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me? I didn't even bring a present."

"The good news was just diagnosed last night. I planned to send someone to tell you today, but I didn't want you to come first." Jia Min smiled, "It's only been more than a month, and the fetal image is not stable yet, so I asked her to concentrate on it." It's time to raise a baby. Huixuan will be taken to live with me for the time being, and she will be sent back when her fetal image is stable."

"Mother is very happy. I have a grandson named Cheng Huan." Lin Daiyu touched her belly after saying that.We have been married for half a year, but there is no news about her yet.Yuchi Hongming was not in a hurry, he just said to reassure her, but she always felt a little uneasy, and she was even more worried that the Xia family would squeeze in two other rooms because of this reason.

"You've only been married for half a year, so don't be impatient, it's best to recuperate slowly." Jia Min comforted, "I don't think your son-in-law has any intention of urging you either."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, and gave an embarrassing "hmm".

Seeing the deep love between her daughter and son-in-law, Jia Min also sighed in her heart that she and Lin Ruhai have good eyesight.

Sure enough, the Central Palace quickly issued a decree, saying that the emperor took pity on all the concubines in the palace, and specially allowed concubines of the fourth grade and above to build a relative garden at the natal home of the concubines in Beijing, so that the concubines could go home and reunite with their families for a short time.After the garden is built, report it to the palace, and then set a date for visiting relatives.As soon as this decree came out, people in the capital were in an uproar. There were not many concubines above the fourth rank in the palace. Minister of the Ministry of Industry Zhen Yingjia, member of the Ministry of Industry Jia Zheng, and the daughter of the Prime Minister Wu Tianyou were all among them. Home, this time the garden of visiting relatives is worth seeing.

"After all, it was Yuan Chun who was favored. There are not many concubines in the palace who have this honor." Wang Shi was happy and proud, and after glancing at Xu Shi calmly, she said, "Old lady, since Yuan Chun can go home Father-in-law, then we still have to make it a little grander, we can't let others compare to it!"

Mrs. Xu laughed, and said: "Although the young master has received the grace to go home, he should not be too complacent. There is also a noble concubine and a queen above the young master, and now this family visit garden is too grand to cover up Without the sharpness of the empress and noble concubine, I'm afraid there will be another disturbance after returning to the palace."

What Xu said was reasonable, and more importantly, the daughter of the second room went home to visit relatives, and their eldest room did not need and would not participate more.The bigger the business, the more money will be paid out in the public account. Isn't that the loss of their big house?This Rongguo Mansion will be left to Lian'er in the future, and she will not allow the second bedroom to spend Lian'er's property for nothing.

Mother Jia was naturally happy, but what her eldest daughter-in-law said made sense.The empress is the lord of the palace, and the noble concubine is under one person. My granddaughter's visit to relatives is now too grand to cover up the brilliance of the two empresses. After returning to the palace, I am afraid that she will really be targeted again.It's just such a good thing, if you don't do a big one, you really can't show your granddaughter's grace!

"Daughter-in-law has an idea." Xu turned her eyes and said directly, "The boudoir where the young master lived is still locked, it's better to open it again, and take a rest with the east side of the second younger brother's yard. Plant a few good pomegranates and crabapple flowers, and dress it up as a sea of ​​flowers, which will make the little master happy when he sees it." That piece of land is in the courtyard of the second room, and you can decide how to build it yourself. "In this way, the mansion doesn't have to A big groundbreaking can also save money in the public account. After all, our family has not paid the monthly money for the past two months, and there are other expenses for buying new clothes and jewelry, so there is not much money in the account. "

"That's a good idea." Mother Jia knew that the eldest and second families had always been at odds, and now it was the best situation for them to go their separate ways.She is already old, and although she has the intention to reconcile the relationship between the two families, she is powerless. I just hope that Xie'er can value the brotherhood, and that Zheng'er will move out after she dies. "Mr. Wang, you can figure it out yourself. If you pay attention, it will be too public. Find out what the Li family and the Wu family plan to build a garden."

"My daughter-in-law knows." Mrs. Wang gave Mrs. Xu a hard look before reluctantly agreeing.

Jia Tanchun frowned slightly, but after a while, he relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Her long hair was swaying on the bed, and the afternoon sun softened through the moon shadow veil on the window, making her skin white and translucent when it hit her face.On her slender finger was a sapphire inlaid gold ring, which made her fingers soft and tender.Today's Jia Tanchun is no longer Ling Changzai who first entered the palace. She was deeply loved by the emperor and has been promoted to Linggui. Now she has moved to Zhaoyu Palace to live, and she is temporarily out of Jia Yuanchun's control.

"My lord, here comes the rose juice you wanted." Shihua brought a pot of hot water.

Jia Tanchun replied lazily, took the handkerchief that Shi Hua handed over and spread it on his face.The juice of this rose can make people look good. Now that Jia Tanchun is the new favorite, the people from the Department of Internal Affairs will naturally provide whatever she wants.After a quarter of an hour of hot compressing, Jia Tanchun took a hurried handkerchief to wipe off the water drops on his face, and asked, "Where is the Emperor staying tonight?"

"I heard that she turned over the brand name of Concubine Shun, and she should have gone to Concubine Shun's place by now."

"Oh, that's fine." Jia Tanchun only accepted the joy last night, and naturally he didn't care who got the lucky call, "Have you finished the stewed bird's nest I told you?"

"It's been stewed, and it will be ready after the master has dinner." Shihua fetched another thin quilt, "The master has become more and more lazy recently, and has been drowsy all day long. The past two days The weather is a little abnormal, is the little master sick?"

Jia Tanchun touched his forehead, only felt that the temperature seemed to be a little hotter than before, and he looked weak, so he said: "I always feel very uncomfortable recently, you can call the imperial doctor to come to me tomorrow. By the way, I heard that my good sister can go home to visit relatives after receiving grace?"

"Yes, both the master and the empress who are above the fourth rank can go home." Seeing that her master seemed to have no objection, Shi Hua continued, "I heard that we have to ask the family to build a relative garden first."

"It's really a grace." Presumably the second wife must be very happy in her heart, but it's a pity that this is nothing more than flowers blooming.Jia Tanchun is now more and more aware of the emperor's "affection" for Jia Yuanchun. Compared with her who recommended him to enter the palace, Jia Yuanchun seems to be more unsacred, but I don't know why the emperor has been pampering him.But it doesn't matter, as long as Aunt Niang and Huan'er can escape from the second wife's control as soon as possible, so what if she temporarily "obeys" Jia Yuanchun?Jia Tanchun said: "There is a box in the drawer of my dressing table. You have someone send it to Rongguo Mansion to give to Aunt Zhao. Just say it is a little kindness from my unfilial daughter."

"Little master, why do you say that about yourself?" Shihua persuaded, "Actually, as long as you can grasp the emperor's sacred heart, you may not be able to call my aunt Fengguanxiapei in the future."

Jia Tanchun shook his head.She knew that my aunt's temperament was shallow and flamboyant. In the past, she was favored by the second master only because of her youth and beauty, but now that the second wife is gradually controlling the second room, aunt can only live her life cautiously.Although Huan'er is clever, she is still not good at studying, so she has to plan for them.I used to be ignorant and didn't get close to my biological mother and younger brother, so I should make some compensation now.

"By the way, if Auntie asks about visiting relatives, just say that you don't know. Don't talk too much when you ask Auntie, let alone let the second wife find out what's in this box." My aunt knew her status in the palace, "You tell my aunt the bank note in the box, it was prepared by Huan'er and I. Whether it's donating officials or buying land in the future, there must be a way out for him."

"Yes." Seeing that Jia Tanchun was a little tired, Shihua tucked the quilt up for her, "Master, let's rest for a while, and I will wake you up when dinner is ready."

"Alright." Jia Tanchun yawned slightly, and soon fell asleep.
