You're Crossing the Red Mansions

When such great good news came, the Rongning and Ning residences were filled with joy.Sister Feng flew between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang like a butterfly, saying "Congratulations to the old lady and the wife! Today is another good day for the master, and a great blessing has come to our house." Come on, old ladies and wives just take care of themselves! Wait for the eldest aunt to give birth to the emperor's dragon heir, and then enjoy the blessings!" Jia's mother was so happy when she heard that, although Mrs. Wang was reserved, her eyebrows But the smile in the room couldn't be concealed.Mrs. Xing felt sour and jealous in her heart, but she still had to pretend to congratulate her sincerely. After all, it was a fake smile, so her face inevitably stiffened.You Xiaoxiao followed the past and said a few words with a smile, and that's all.Over there, Li Wan knew that she didn't like her mother-in-law, but such a big event had to be joined together. He bowed and said congratulations to his wife, then silently returned to his original seat. Coupled with a happy mood, he finally treated her kindly.

Yingchun and Xichun saw that everyone went to worship Mrs. Wang, and felt a little envious of Yuanchun's good luck, but after all, they were honest and sincere, and they were really happy for the eldest sister, so they came to Jiamu and Mrs. Wang one after the other. After saying a few words of congratulations, he obediently returned to Mrs. Xing and Youshi.Shi Xiangyun just smiled foolishly at the banquet, because she had never had much contact with Yuan Chun, and she didn't have much exposure to the left and right, so she appeared very calm. How excited others were was had nothing to do with her, she just talked head-to-head with Baoyu.And Baoyu, who doesn't worry about everything, doesn't care even more, anyway, he has always been the darling of the family, and he doesn't need the help of the concubine to raise his spirits, so naturally he doesn't care.Tanchun is extremely happy, she has always felt pain and entanglement about her status as a concubine, now that her sister with the same father has become an imperial concubine, her worth will naturally rise, and her future will definitely become better.So he hurriedly squeezed to his aunt's side and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, the elder sister has both ability and political integrity, and she will live up to her mother's upbringing." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt at ease, although she knew Yuan Chun was brought up by Jia's mother, But which daughter can be separated from the mother's nurturing?When she said this to her heart, she couldn't help but shook Tanchun's hand and said affectionately: "My son, but whatever you say, I don't have anything, it's all because of your elder sister's own efforts, and after all these years in the palace, she finally survived You're in your prime!" Thinking of Yuan Chun's hard work in the palace for so many years, it's not easy to come to this day, his voice choked up.Tanchun naturally also shed a few tears by the side.

According to the rules, all the wives should enter the palace with heavy make-up to thank you. You Xiaoxiao and Jia Zhen went back to Dongfu first to change clothes.Xichun heard her elder brother and sister-in-law leave, and hurriedly followed.Yingchun served Mrs. Xing and went to the yard over there.Jia Zhen deliberately abandoned the horse, hurried to ride with his wife and sister, lifted the curtain and sat down and said with a smile: "After all, the master has insight, and he said earlier that we would not be allowed to have a relationship with that mansion. Who knows that there is such a thing?" Great happy event..." Hearing this, Xichun couldn't help leaning closer to her sister-in-law, as if afraid of being sent back again.You Xiaoxiao patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, then sneered at Jia Zhen: "Do you still think it's a good thing?" Good thing? Our Jia family will also prosper in the future!"

You Xiaoxiao was confused when he heard his words, originally she didn't want to refute him in front of Xichun, but then she heard him say: "Ms. Yuanda has become a concubine, and we are serious relatives of the emperor. In the future, no one should give me some face..." You Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help it and said: "My uncle, if you think about it carefully, among the current imperial relatives and relatives, only the daughters who have entered the palace prosper? You need to be hardworking yourself, and you always have to strive for everything." That’s right.” After saying that, he felt that it was not enough, and continued: “Master, it’s not that I said something bad, so can there be a guideline for things in the harem? Haven’t we eaten pork or seen pigs running? The nobles are all prominent for a while, but they are not messed up later? I am not afraid to say something taboo, Miss Yuanda is looking at the scenery now, what should we do if we make a mistake? Sir, please listen to me Persuasion, as the saying goes, when the moon is full, you will lose money, it is better to live in a mediocre life like this, besides, we are not the serious brother and sister-in-law of Miss Yuanda, so it is not right to do something with the imperial concubine! Now In this matter, we just follow that mansion to He Yihe and go through the motions. The rest is up to them to make their own decisions in the West Mansion, no matter whether it rises or falls in the future, we won't suffer if we don't go to get rich. "

Jia Zhen felt guilty at what she said, so she forced a smile and said: "Forget it, tell the master the news first when you go back." There was no more words along the way, You Xiaoxiao just talked with Xichun about the delicious food at today's banquet, and then talked again. Whose clothes look good in color and so on.Although Jia Zhen closed her eyes, she was thinking about what his wife said over and over again, thinking that the current empress' father is a fourth-rank official, and the empress dowager's natal family is a small family. Status, people are the serious relatives of the royal family, what do you care about yourself?The more I think about it, the more I feel that what You Xiaoxiao said makes sense.

Back at the mansion, Jia Zhen didn't rush to change clothes, she went to Jia Jing's yard first, and told Lao Tzu about today's events one by one, and then relayed what You Xiaoxiao said, only saying that she thought of it herself.When Jia Jing heard this, he twisted his beard and smiled and said, "Fortunately, misfortune is here to stay. You are very successful now." Jia Zhen listened to his father's admiration, and hurriedly said, "My son is thinking about it these few days. Our East Mansion simply avoids the limelight, if anyone comes to congratulate, just send it to the West Mansion." Jia Jing nodded and said: "You are very right, there is no guarantee that some people will be envious of the new rich and want to use us to go there To draw a line over there, why not formally thank the guests behind closed doors." Jia Zhen thought for a while and said: "Then we still have to go into the palace?" Jia Jing smiled and said: "We should enter or we must enter, as long as we understand in our hearts Just what to do and what not to do." Jia Zhen understood, thought for a while and said: "Then the son and daughter-in-law will go to the West Mansion with them, and Rong'er will stay at home." Jia Jing said: "You are worried Yes, let him go to the school to study."

But it is said that Jia Zhen and Youshi changed their clothes and put on the court crown. Everyone in the West Mansion waited impatiently and hurried to leave when they saw them coming.The sedan chairs were all prepared in advance according to their ranks. Mother Jia ordered her to go first in the eight-carried sedan chair, followed by You Xiaoxiao's eight-carried sedan chair, and then Mrs. Xing, who was the hereditary wife of the Duke, was also the eight-carried sedan chair. , only Mrs. Wang is a pleasant person of five grades, and she sits in a sedan chair carrying four people.Seeing this, Mrs. Xing finally felt a little better.When everyone entered the palace, the rules of the Tian family were strict, even though it was to thank them, they just knelt outside the palace and kowtowed a few times before returning.That night Rongguo Mansion held a big banquet, and then the noon opera and wine continued to be lively. You Xiaoxiao followed Jia Zhen, and it was hard to shirk, so she went to the banquet together.In the middle of the night, Jia Mu's elderly finally couldn't hold on anymore, so she said she was going to sleep. You Xiaoxiao waited for her to say this, and hurriedly got up to leave.Jia Zhen also drank a lot of wine outside, and the servants helped him into the carriage. You Xiaoxiao told the outside: "Be careful on the road and avoid bumps." Then she took a pickled green plum from her purse and stuffed it for Jia Zhen , Let him sober up with his mouth in his mouth.Jia Zhen stared and said: "You are still right. Now everyone in the whole house is planning how to rely on the empress to get favor from the emperor..." Before she finished speaking, You Xiaoxiao sighed: "Yuan Da The girl is really pitiful, she has been tormented in the deep palace by herself for these years, and she finally came out, her mother's family doesn't want to argue, but they still have to count on her as a weak woman, if I were a man, I would be ashamed to death!" Although Jia Zhen knew The wife's words were not aimed at herself, but she still felt hot.

Back to the mansion, there was nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the second day, before You Xiaoxiao got up, she heard a report from outside that the eldest lady of the West Mansion had brought the second girl. What are you doing here so early in the morning?" You Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You just sleep." She knew that Mrs. Xing was full of anger yesterday and had nowhere to vent, so she came here and was busy. After getting up and freshening up, let Yindie take people to Ningxixuan to set up breakfast.
