Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

To say that Wang Xifeng's luck is really good.

Jinyao really made an appointment with someone, everyone packed up, and before she could go out, she was blocked by Wang Xifeng into the yard.

Wang Xifeng patted her chest directly and called "God bless", and did not allow Jinyao to refuse to explain, and pulled the person away:

"Today, no matter what you plan to do, put it down first. Let's go. I'll take care of you. Let's meet the guests quickly. When the guests leave, you can go wherever you want. No one will stop you."

Jin Yao shook her head:

"Okay, I'll just go with you, you can let me go." He was chattering, no wonder he wasn't used to it.

Wang Xifeng let her go, Jinyao hurriedly stopped to tidy up the dress she had messed up, and Si Ling who was following behind hurriedly stepped forward to help tidy up.Wang Xifeng was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed, but made fun of her instead.

Jin Yao ignored her and told Jin Ling:

"Go to Zhaojia Mansion and explain to Jin Miao in person, and say that I won't go today, and I will plead guilty to her in Taibai Building some other day."

Jinling should be, busy to arrange to go out.

Now that she was about to meet the guests with Wang Xifeng, Jinyao didn't resist anymore. Following her to the old lady's yard, Princess Nan'an pulled her up with a smile on her face as soon as they met before Jinyao could get down.

"This is Nianwu girl, right? Tsk tsk, what a wonderful person!"

Jin Yao chuckled lightly:

"The princess is absurd!"

"Not at all. Although it's the first time I've seen you, I've heard people praise you more than once. I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't want to be busy until now."

"Oh, the princess heard someone praise me? I'm afraid that the princess is kind and scruples about my face and said something ironic?"

"Look, you still don't believe me when I tell you, do you know that there is a general named Zhou under your father's command?"

Jin Yao thought for a while: "But guerrilla general Zhou Wen?"

"Exactly, he is my younger brother. His wife and I have met you a few times, and every time he writes, he doesn't boast about it. Today, he can be regarded as meeting a real person. He is truly charming!"

When she said this, the image of Mrs. General Zhou naturally appeared in Jin Yao's mind, and at the same time, her doubts deepened.

The king of Nan'an County is also in charge of the army, and now he is guarding the southwest. Why is his brother-in-law, the younger brother of Princess Nan'an, in Huguang where Nian's family is located?

As for Princess Nan'an's enthusiasm for her, it is obviously because of her father's age. Perhaps this year is also the term of General Zhou's term of office, and this is for the superior's comments.

Princess Nan'an pulled Jinyao to talk affectionately, and did not neglect the girls who were sitting with her during the period. They asked about their age and preferences one by one, and each gave a meeting gift, which was packed in the same box.

After sitting for an hour, Princess Nan'an insisted on leaving regardless of Jia's mother's hard food and stay. Before leaving, she even pulled Jinyao to look reluctant:

"I hit it off with you. I also have a daughter. You are about the same age. You can play together in the future. Come to our house and I will introduce you!"

"Okay, next time I have a chance, I will definitely get to know the princess." Social rhetoric, it's not the first day for her to be in the capital, hasn't she heard of the princess of Nan'an Palace?

As soon as Princess Nan'an left, Jia Baoyu, who was outside, rushed in like a monkey to greet the elders and sisters.

After getting along with Jinyao more times, I'm not as stiff as before, and I can say hello normally.

He rushed to Lin Daiyu's side and said, "Sisters, open the box quickly and see what gifts the guests have given you."

Sanchun and Daiyu both followed him and opened it directly. Inside were a pair of jade bracelets. The jade looked precipitated and did not meet Jia Baoyu's aesthetics, not to mention that it was not a precious jade, so they felt a little boring. Curiously, the box urged her to open it and take a look.

Jin Yao shook her head:

"The boxes are all the same, and obviously the items inside are also the same. It doesn't matter if you look at it or not."

"Open it and take a look. My cousin will also open it when she goes back. If you open it here, you will save yourself a trip. Let's take a look!"

His begging and other people also looked over, Jinyao didn't want to get entangled with him, so she opened it after seeing this.

I don't want everyone to be surprised after opening it. It turns out that the inside is the same jade bracelet, but the texture is very different. This is a purple ice flower hibiscus jade with bright colors, which is very suitable for girls of Jinyao's age.

It is obvious that Princess Nan'an specially prepared this for Jinyao.

Seeing Baoyu's unsteadiness, Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning slightly:

"You came back sooner or later today, did you go to school?"

Baoyu hates reading the most, and when he heard this, he became a little bored.

Mrs. Wang saw the situation and didn't know what was going on, and she became mischievous and playful again, and said angrily:

"Look at how old you are, you are still so playful. Your cousin is very knowledgeable. You should go and ask for advice when you are free!"

"No, no need, my cousin is working in the imperial court and is very busy."

As soon as he met this cousin, he knew that he was not from the same group, so he was naturally unwilling to join him.

Mrs. Wang waited to say more, but was stopped by Jia Mu:

"Okay, don't just push him all the time, he's weak, if you force him to do something good or bad, are you satisfied? I, Baoyu, has great fortune, why fight sooner or later!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't speak, but she was suffering in her heart.

Jia Zhu is her eternal pain, but this Baoyu is different from Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu likes to study, but Baoyu is the opposite. How can he be willing to make progress if he is not forced?

Jinyao just played with the bracelet calmly, pretending not to see all this.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang saw Jinyao's eyes light up, and her thoughts became more persistent. She also put on a smile and pulled Jinyao to talk.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for half her life, how can Jia's mother not see Mrs. Wang's plan, but thinking of Jinyao's family background, thinking about her most beloved descendants, finally suppressed her dislike for Jinyao, and did not intend to destroy Mrs. Wang's plan.

Marrying Nian Jinyao is always a thousand times better than Xue Baochai, even Daiyu is not as good. Naturally, she will not hinder her grandson's good marriage because of her dislike, but she is a little sorry for Daiyu.

Look at the delicate Daiyu sitting there, Jiamu's heartache for her has never overwhelmed her expectations for Baoyu, she always understands the distance between close and distant.

Nian Gengyao became a second-class bodyguard of the fourth grade. He was two ranks higher than Jia Zheng when he first became an official. Don't stop being provocative, and plan to keep smiling faces at the Nian brothers and sisters in the future.

I was getting stuck on this matter, and there happened to be a turning point.

The incident happened on Jia Zheng's birthday.

Jia Zheng's birthday was just a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and taking advantage of Nian Gengyao's enthusiasm, many old relatives and new rich came to the mansion.

Just as it was bustling, the eunuch came suddenly to pass the decree, and only said that there is a decree from the sage, that Jia Zheng should enter the palace to face the sage!

This really caused a thousand waves with one stone, the entire Jia family couldn't sit still, and kept sending people to inquire about the situation, but the situation in the palace was not so easy to inquire about.

The guests left in a hurry without knowing their blessings or misfortunes.

The old lady was so frightened that her hands trembled. This time she wasn't just pretending, she was really frightened, and she wanted to hold Baoyu firmly with one hand.

Seeing Wang Xifeng come in, he hurriedly asked:

"How is it, Lian'er has heard the news?"

"No, the second master is still waiting outside the palace gate, and sent Laiwang back to report, saying that he has not heard of any disaster." Wang Xifeng's face also changed. Their family is counting on the second master. What can I do if something happens.

But the word "second master" reminded the old lady:

"I'm really confused. The grandson of the Nian family is not working in front of the imperial court. You asked Lian Er to find a way to ask him!"

Jin Yao couldn't help laughing when she heard the words of course, the old lady was not polite when she wanted to use someone.

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng patted his head, turned around and ran outside.

The waiting time was tough, Jinyao guessed what happened this time, but she didn't feel nervous, she was just bored. At this time, everyone was not in the mood to talk, and they sat here like logs, exhausted.

Just when she couldn't sit still, news finally came back this time, and as soon as it came in, it was congratulations: "Congratulations to the old ladies and wives, this time I got the letter, it is our eldest girl who has been named a concubine!"

"what?"

"Really?"

"What kind of concubine? Is the letter accurate this time?" Jia's mother was beyond the usual response, grabbed Wang Xifeng and asked carefully.

Wang Xifeng filled her cheeks with joy:

"Certainly, definitely, I got the news from my cousin. The messenger also said that cousin Nian couldn't leave in front of the imperial court, but he heard the news with his own ears, saying that our eldest girl was named Yuan concubine." , is the lord of the first palace, and the master entered the palace to thank you!"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. The old lady was beaming and kept saying good things about the eldest girl, while Madam Wang was crying with joy.

Empress Yuanpin is the eldest granddaughter of the old lady. Not only her face is bright, but her back is straightened up after being named a concubine. This time she is finally a noble old lady again. The brothers and sisters of the Nian family fell out of her heart again. portion.

Jinyao was not annoying, so she followed the crowd to congratulate, and while they were busy and couldn't see who was missing, she took them back to Qilan Courtyard to have a rest.

Afterwards, Jia Zheng came back with the imperial decree, and his family made an offering in the Rongxi Hall, telling how he had entered the palace.

This time the emperor unexpectedly rewarded a group of female officials and low-ranking concubines from aristocratic families. The promised promotions were always waiting, but Yuanchun and the others were directly promoted from the female officials to the concubines. That was really like a rocket.

And with the news of the rewards, it came down that concubines above the rank of concubine could go back to their natal family to visit their relatives, as long as they had an independent garden at home, they could go back to visit their relatives.

This is aimed at low-ranking concubines who have not seen their family members all year round and those who have just been promoted. After all, there are regulations in the palace. met family.

This news really shocked the Jia family, the garden must be repaired, it doesn't make sense that the other concubine's family built it at the same time, and I can't build it myself, isn't this an embarrassment to the concubine Yuan?

So the two houses of the Jia family moved into action, measuring the size and asking someone to draw the blueprints. In the end, as Jinyao expected, the Qilan Courtyard they lived in was within the scope of the new garden, because the new garden originally borrowed money from the mansion. From the garden, it happened to pass by the Qilan Courtyard.

There is nothing to think about, before the Jinyao brothers and sisters take the initiative to say move, the straight-backed Wang Xifeng and his wife first came to talk to the brothers and sisters.

Facing this pair of chameleons, Nian Gengyao was not annoyed, but he rejected the other party's plan to arrange a new yard:

"Don't bother my cousin and his wife. It just so happens that our house has been repaired. We originally planned to move back in a few days, but now we don't have to bother to move around. We just packed it up and will move out of the house in two days."

This remark made Jia Lian feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he was a cousin of his own. It was as if he was kicking him out. Seeing that Nian Gengyao insisted on moving, he didn't want to keep him.

Leaving aside the Nian family's brothers and sisters packing up and moving, let's just talk about the Yan family.

I don't know if you ladies still remember my aunt's husband's family, Yan's family.

This day, Sanya Yan Chengsong came back with a sullen face, waved back the butler who came up to serve him, and went directly into the main hall.

Aunt Nian was about to greet her son, but was startled by his black face.

"What's wrong with my son, who offended you?"

"Mother, I just want to ask you, do you know that the second cousin of my uncle's family has come to Beijing?"
