[Red Chamber] Feijun does not "marry"

☆, family reunion

There were a lot of big and small things in Jia's house, but they couldn't stop the passage of time. Jia Zheng played to the emperor and asked Yuanchun to visit his relatives.Soon, the emperor issued an imperial decree, allowing Jia Yuanchun to visit his relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year.

So amidst the anxiety of everyone in Jia's mansion, they ushered in the new year.On the eighth day of the first lunar month, some eunuchs came to Jia's mansion to check around, to see where to rest, where to change clothes, where to hold ceremonies and so on.Some people taught everyone in Jia's house how to salute and how to eat.

When the Lantern Festival came on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen put on court clothes early in the morning and brought the men of Jia's mansion to stand outside the West Street entrance to greet them. Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You The family members also stood at the gate of Rongguo Mansion with makeup according to their grades and waited.Then everyone waited for a long time for the virtuous concubine Yuanchun to arrive, and they asked the eunuch to find out that Jia Yuanchun could only leave the palace after all the ceremonies in the palace were completed and the emperor was consulted.

So everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the door to rest.When it was almost time, a eunuch came to inform that Jia Yuanchun, the eldest lady of the Jia family, had returned.

After a while, a dozen pairs of people came, and the sound of playing music could be faintly heard.Pairs of dragon and phoenix fans, pheasant feathers and Kui heads are used for ceremonies.There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, rinsing bowls, whisks and other things.

After the teams passed by, eight eunuchs came slowly behind them, carrying a gold-topped golden phoenix-embroidered phoenix.

Everyone in Jia's mansion saw the sedan chair kneeling down one after another, and several eunuchs ran over quickly to help Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others.The sedan chair was carried into the gate and put down in front of a courtyard gate. Afterwards, the palace maids waited for Yuan Chun to get off the sedan chair and rest.

Lanterns of various colors in the yard are hung in conspicuous places, all made of gauze, which look very delicate, and the whole yard is brightly lit.At the top hangs a lamp that serves as a door plaque, with the words "Tiren Mude" written on it.

Yuan Chun was served by the maids and went in to rest for a while, changed his clothes, got into a sedan chair and entered the family-saving villa.

The villa is brightly lit, surrounded by colorful flowers, surrounded by cigarettes, and filled with fairy music.Looking at such a scene in the sedan chair, Yuan Chun silently sighed that it was too luxurious.After getting off the sedan chair and boarding the boat again, Yuanchun walked and watched all the way.

When they arrived at the main hall, the eunuch in charge asked Yuan Chun to sit down and accept the salute, and music was played on both sides.After the eunuch in charge of the ceremony led the men and women of Jia's family to salute wave after wave.

Jia Yuanchun retreated to the side hall to change clothes. At this time, he prepared the car and went all the way out of the family's family villa to Jia Mu's main house.After sending everyone around him out, Jia Yuanchun was about to give a family gift to Mother Jia and the others, but was stopped by the old lady and the others.

Looking at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, Jia Yuanchun began to cry. He couldn't say anything for a long time. In the end, he put his arms around Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang with one arm, and the three mothers cried together.Seeing this, the rest of the family members of the Jia family also cried together.

After crying for a while, Jia Yuanchun finally sorted out his emotions, forced a smile and said: "I was sent to the palace where I couldn't see my family that day, and today I finally went back to my mother's house, and I haven't joked about it yet." , but started to cry first. I’ll go back later, and I don’t know when we will meet next time.” Jia Yuanchun said, with grief coming from his heart, and he couldn’t help but choked up.

Mother Jia asked Jia Yuanchun to sit upright, and everyone saluted one by one.Jia Yuanchun looked around but didn't see Aunt Xue's family and Daiyu Lin, so he asked, "Aunt Xue, Baochai, why didn't Daiyu disappear?"

Mrs. Wang hurried back and said: "Because they are relatives, they can't come without summons."

After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun is very busy.It has been almost a year since Lin Daiyu moved out of Jia's mansion. When the family-friendly villa was built, Lin Hai had already returned to the capital to report on his work, and was promoted to a first-rank official by Shui Mu, so he stayed in Beijing.Before concubine Yuan came to see her relatives, Jia's mother specially brought Daiyu to live in the mansion for a short time.Now when Yuanchun called, Aunt Xue brought Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu in to salute.

All the court ladies and eunuchs brought by Yuanchun were invited to other houses to entertain them, and only the female relatives were left in the house to tell each other their farewell feelings and family affairs.

At this time, Jia Zheng stood outside the curtain to greet him. Jia Yuanchun looked at his father who was saluting him outside the curtain. He was in a very complicated mood. He cried and said, "Born in a farm family, in the end there is still family happiness to enjoy. Although we are rich now To the extreme, but the world is far apart, it is not easy to see each other, after all, it is meaningless."

When Jia Zheng heard her daughter's resentment, he was also very sad, and said with tears: "Your concubine, you accept the emperor's kindness, and honor the kindness of our ancestors, what an honor it is for us and my wife. The imperial concubine must not take us and my wife seriously, and should serve the emperor wholeheartedly."

Hearing what his father said, Jia Yuanchun had no choice but to say: "First of all, we must do our best for the country, and second, we must pay attention to our health."

Jia Yuanchun lived in the palace tremblingly, like walking on thin ice, if she hadn't stood in the same camp as the queen, she would have died in the man-eating palace at some point.Although she has become a noble concubine now, who knows the pain in her heart, the shock in her heart, and the resentment in her heart.However, in order to live, she has to keep fighting in that palace. If she doesn't fight, she will die if she loses.The flowers in front of me look like a calm surface, but who knows if there is a rotting corpse buried under it, a turbulent conspiracy.

Jia Yuanchun collected his thoughts, looked around for a week and found that he hadn't seen Jia Baoyu, whom he loved since he was a child, and Jia Yu, who suffered from dementia after being born in his mother's womb. I heard that he has woken up now, and she hasn't seen it yet. Woolen cloth.

So Jia Yuanchun asked Jia's mother, "Why don't you see Baoyu and Yu'er?"

When Jia Baoyu and Jia Yu, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, heard Jia Yuanchun calling from inside, they entered the room together to salute Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun looked at the two teenagers who were almost identical in appearance who entered the door together. They were tall and tall, and although their temperaments were different, they were both first-class handsome men.Jia Baoyu has a touch of coquettishness in the corners of her eyes and brows. Jia Yu's appearance is more charming and enchanting because of the cinnabar between her eyebrows, but she does not look feminine.Comparing the two, Jia Yu seems to be on a higher level.

Jia Yuanchun looked at the two younger brothers who were close relatives saluting her, so he hugged them both, looked left and right, and said: "Baoyu seems to be taller than before, Yu'er can wake up now, It’s finally a solution to one of my heart problems.” As he spoke, he began to cry again.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Jia Baoyu and Jia Yu, everyone went to visit the relatives' villa again. Jia Yuanchun watched and admired, and persuaded: "It's too luxurious, it must not be like this in the future."

A group of people entered the main hall and set up a banquet. Jia Mu and others accompanied them in the lower seats, and You Shi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and others stood aside to serve them.

Afterwards, Yuan Chun personally wrote inscriptions on the favorite scenic spots, and asked all the sisters to write poems together.He also specifically pointed out a few scenic spots and asked Jia Baoyu to write about them, but he didn't force Jia Yu to do so.

Although Jia Yuanchun was in the palace, she also knew some information about the Jia family, but after all, it was inconvenient to get information, so she didn't know what Jia Yu looked like now.She only knew that Jia Yu was awake, but she didn't know what he was like now.After all, it would be good for a fool to return to normal, don't you really expect him to be the number one in the exam?

Jia Yu also understood that this was Jia Yuanchun's thoughtfulness, and she was afraid that he would make a fool of herself, so she just smiled as a response to this big sister who had never masked her face.However, Jia Baoyu was tortured by the four poems. He never liked to read, but only loved those love poems. Now that he is asked to write four poems at once, he is really a bit stretched.

Xue Baochai still taught him to change the green jade used to describe plantains into green wax, and he was overjoyed.The relationship between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu is indifferent now, so naturally she doesn't want to show off in front of his sister, let alone come to help him cheat at this time.In the end, it was Xue Baochai who saw that he couldn't make it, so he helped him put together a song and quietly threw it to him.

Jia Yuanchun took the four poems "made" by Jia Baoyu and read them very carefully, finally smiled at him, and said: "It is indeed very improved, and the writing is very good." After complimenting Jia Baoyu, he sat on the other side Jia Yu pulled him over, let him sit beside him, and asked Jia Yu about his diet, daily life and study in detail.After knowing that Jia Yu has won the prize, and now he is preparing for the spring exam, he was very pleasantly surprised, patted Jia Yu's hand, and told him that although reading is important, his body is more important, and he must not put the cart before the horse.Jia Yu readily agreed.

After that, various programs prepared by the Jia Mansion were presented one by one.Until the eunuch in charge brought the gift list and asked Jia Yuanchun to look it over.After Jia Yuanchun read it, the eunuch distributed them one by one.

After everyone saluted and thanked, an eunuch said: "It's time, it's time to go back to the palace." When Jia Yuanchun heard this, tears rolled down, and he smiled reluctantly and kept telling Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang: "Don't miss me. The emperor is sympathetic, and now he can enter the palace to meet once a month, and there are many opportunities to meet. If the emperor still allows family visits next year, he must not spend such extravagant expenses again." Mother Jia and others all cried speechless.Yuan Chun had no choice but to follow the rules of the Tian family, so he had no choice but to get on the sedan chair and go back to the palace.

Looking at Jia Yuanchun's back, Jia Yu couldn't help feeling sorry for this woman. He knew very well that Jia Yuanchun's death was a victim of politics.But now he is really beyond his reach, he has no ability to protect her completely, so he can only find Bai Yue and ask two shadow guards to try his best to protect her safety.At this time, although he knew that there was something strange about Jia Yuanchun's death, he didn't know the specific reason, because Mr. Cao's Red Chamber had only been handed down [-] times, so the cause of Jia Yuanchun's death was unknown.

Jia Yu sighed again, turned around and went back to her yard, unexpectedly saw an unexpected person...

Shui Mu endured the restlessness, and finally finished dealing with the crowd and completed the annual program in the palace.The only special thing this year was that he had allowed Concubine Jia to visit Jia's family today. Looking at Jia Yuanchun's back, he couldn't help but think of that person.

Thinking of that person, he remembered that it had been almost half a year since that person came to the palace to heal his wounds and detoxify him, yet they had never seen each other.Shui Mu thought that such a long separation would make her feelings for him less, but she didn't expect that with the accumulation of time, she would miss that person more and more.

Seeing that Concubine Jia was about to go home now, and it seemed that that person was also in the Rongguo Mansion, Shui Mu felt that she couldn't sit still.

"Come out." Shui Mu said to the air.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" An Yi knelt down in front of Shui Mu.Since the emperor came back from Yangzhou that time, his temper seemed to be even more unstable.The dark guard lost three people, and the loss was much smaller than An Yi's expectation.He originally thought that the five people who followed the emperor would never come back, but two of them came back unexpectedly, and when they came back, their injuries were basically healed.Now by the emperor's side, there are only four people serving him, An San, An Liu and An Qi.

During the trip to Yangzhou a year ago, Shui Mu was assassinated. Although he later got accurate information that the mastermind was Prince Yizhong, but because of the Supreme Emperor and the Royal Concubine, Shui Mu could not do anything to him.In desperation, Shui Mu swallowed his breath and sorted out the people around him again.

Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor did not pretend to be stupid. Although he knew that this matter was not dealt with, he also gave up the control of the palace. Shui Mu finally had the opportunity to take the first step to control the imperial power - to control the palace.Shui Mu understood that this was the sincerity and apology of the Supreme Emperor, and their father and son knew it.

Afterwards, in the court hall, Shui Mu severely punished a group of officials, most of these people were on the side of Prince Yizhong, and a small number of them were on the side of Prince Zhongshun.Shui Mu, who has been educated by the emperor since he was a child, will not know what the art of check and balance is, and he will not know what the art of controlling the subordinates is.

"Go to Rongguo Mansion, let's take a look at the family-speaking villa that is said to be a fairyland on earth."

"Yes, Your Majesty." An Yi understood that since the beautiful Mr. Jia left the palace, the Emperor's heart seemed to be gone.Now, the emperor is finally willing to take this first step to find his own heart, An Yi is also very happy.

So, under the protection of four hidden guards, Shui Mu came to Jia's mansion.When he arrived, everyone in Jia's residence seemed to be gathered in Jia's mother's yard, and Jia Yu's Tingyu Pavilion didn't even have a maid, so they came in easily.

Shui Mu sat on the stone bench in the yard and looked at the round moon. Today is the Lantern Festival. Since ancient times, so many beautiful things have happened on the Lantern Festival.

Finally, the hustle and bustle of Jia's mansion gradually quieted down. A young man in a white dress walked towards Shui Mu with light steps, as if he had stepped out of a fairyland.The visitor has a beautiful appearance, with a grain of cinnabar between his eyebrows, who else is it if it's not Jia Yu?

When Jia Yu walked to his courtyard, he saw the Ninth Five-Year Lord sitting in his courtyard.He subconsciously looked up at the moon in the sky, and then looked in the direction of the gate where Jia Yuanchun had just been sent away.Thinking in her heart, this Shui Mu really dotes on her eldest sister, and after leaving the palace for a while, she reluctantly chases after her.It's just that the chasing place doesn't seem quite right, why did he run into his own yard?

"What are you looking at?" Shui Mu looked at Jia Yu's movements, very depressed.What's the matter with this man, a big living person like himself is sitting here, he doesn't say he comes up to greet him, he just stands and looks at the sky and the ground but doesn't look at him, it's really maddening to death!

"Oh, Xiaosheng sees the emperor." Shui Mu's cold voice finally called back Jia Yu's attention, and she quickly bent down to salute.

"Shouldn't we kneel down?" Shui Mu looked at Jia Yu and cupped his fists perfunctorily, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.

"I know the emperor won't be so stingy." Jia Yu smiled playfully at Shui Mu, this smile was smudged by the moonlight, coupled with the cinnabar between the eyebrows, there was a hint of Buddha-like compassion.

"Hmph, aren't you afraid that I will punish you for disrespect?" Shui Mu looked at Jia Yu with a half-smile.

"No matter how you say it, I have had a fateful friendship with the emperor. I believe the emperor will never forget this old relationship." Jia Yu rubbed his nose and laughed.

"Hehe, you're really good. I won't punish you for your crime, but the death penalty should be forgiven, and the living crime is inevitable. I will punish you to accompany me to the fairyland on earth." Shui Mu said with a smile, raising his hands The fan knocked on Jia Yu's head.

Jia Yu was knocked twice by Shui Mu, making this seem like a way to treat children, which made her a little furious, and looked up at Shui Mu angrily.Shui Mu looked at his puffed cheeks, and suddenly felt a lot better, and the previous depression also dissipated.

Jia Yu took Shui Mu into the family-visiting villa that Jia Yuanchun had just titled Grand View Garden.Because it was already late at night, and the servants of Jia's mansion were tired after a day of trouble, only the ladies and servants who kept watch at night were left.Jia Yu's martial arts is superb, taking Shui Mu into the garden is like no one's land, no one finds them, and the two of them play happily.

Looking at the garden, Shui Mu couldn't help sighing that there really is something in heaven and on earth, but it's a bit extravagant for a relative's family villa built by a courtier's family.Seeing that Shui Mu's eyes were dark, Jia Yu knew that the garden was a little tricky, and she was afraid that Shui Mu would not like it.

"The emperor thinks this garden is too luxurious and expensive?" Jia Yu looked straight at Shui Mu with a smile on his face.

"Isn't it?" Shui Mu looked at Jia Yu like this and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's too extravagant, but you know that because of this garden, the Duke of Jia's mansion is full of holes now. The emperor's grace is so great, and Jia's mansion spent all the power to create such a place, and it is also to show the grace of the body Ah." Jia Yu squinted his eyes looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance and said.

"Hehe, since you said it was to show the greatness of the emperor's grace, then so be it. Since it is so difficult to build this garden with the financial resources of the Jia family, if there is a day when you have no rice to cook, come to me, and I will always I will reward you with a bite of food." Shui Mu smiled indifferently.

"Then I would like to thank the emperor. Is the emperor going back to the palace?" Jia Yu asked.

"Yeah, it's time to go back. If you don't leave, you will delay your morning court." Shui Mu looked at Jia Yu firmly, he knew that after returning to the palace, the next time he saw this person would be the time to decide his life or death. .

Jia Yu didn't say anything, just pursed his lips, he was debating whether to send the shadow guard Fengxi had prepared to Shui Mu.This time Shui Mu was assassinated, if there were enough people around him, he would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation now.

"What's the matter? But what else do you want to say to me?" Shui Mu could of course see the hesitation on Jia Yu's face, and asked with a little hope in his eyes.He still can't completely give up on Jia Yu, this young man who looks like a fairy and a demon has already lived in his heart in a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, you lost a few hidden guards during your trip to Yangzhou last time. I have a few good ones here. Why don't you take them back and use them first?" Jia Yu finally gritted his teeth and said the words. Cover up.

"Oh? A good player?" Shui Mu asked curiously.

"Yes, these people are the secret guards I specially trained for the emperor. From now on, their master is only the emperor. I only hope that the emperor can treat them kindly." Jia Yu said sincerely.

Shui Mu fixedly looked at the young man in front of him, hoping to see some other emotions from his face.But he failed, Jia Yu's face is full of sincerity, should he believe him?The hidden guard sent to the emperor is really a sharp knife. If he believes in the wrong person, he will lose his life.But Shui Mu is Shui Mu, and he felt that he could not misjudge the person, so he believed in Jia Yu and accepted his intention.

"Hehe, thank you so much. Ever since I lost those hidden guards, the guards around me are really powerless. You shadow guards have solved my urgent need." Shui Mu smiled and patted Jia Yu's shoulder.

Jia Yu looked up at Shui Mu's smile, then clapped her hands, and the nine shadow guards prepared for Shui Mu appeared behind Jia Yu.These nine shadow guards were all dressed in black, knelt on one knee and cupped their fists in a gesture of obedience.

"From now on, your task is to protect the emperor, and your master is only the emperor, so go with the emperor and do your best." Jia Yu looked down at them and ordered.

"Yes." "Master." Nine Shadow Guards replied to Jia Yu's words, and directed at Shui Mu, which meant that Shui Mu was the master.

"The kung fu of these nine people was carefully trained by me, and they are no worse than the hidden guards around the emperor. Moreover, they have never recognized their master, and their loyalty can be guaranteed." Jia Yu said to Shui Mu.

"Since you sent these nine people to me, I will trust you. If you want my life, you just need to stand by and watch last time." Shui Mu subconsciously did not call me in front of Jia Yu again, He felt very happy coming out tonight, maybe Jia Yu missed him too.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Yu looked into Shui Mu's eyes and said.

Shui Mu turned around, he had already planned to return to the palace, but thinking of the June period that Jia Yu had said after the silver needle pricked the acupuncture points for him, now it is only half a month left.So far, Jia Yu has not taken the initiative to enter the palace to detoxify him, so there is only one answer, that is, Jia Yu has not found a way to detoxify so far.

By coincidence, Shui Mu didn't want to waste the last half month of his life.Even in death, he hopes to have Jia Yu's company in the last days of his life.

Shui Mu turned to face Jia Yu again and said, "Do you want to go back to the palace with me?"
