[Red Chamber] Feijun does not "marry"

☆, Concubine Beijing

No matter how sad Xiangyun was, in the end she was taken back to the historian's house by her aunt before she had time to confide in Jia Baoyu.Xiangyun was desperately planning to tell Jia Baoyu her feelings over the years, but she didn't expect that so many things happened in a few days, so she didn't even get a chance.

How could Xiangyun have thought that her demeanor would fall into Xiren's eyes, and even under Xiren's intentional or unintentional destruction, how could he find a chance to be alone with Baoyu.How could she say those outrageous words in front of everyone.

After sending Xiangyun away, Daiyu just looked at Baoyu and sighed, then said goodbye to Jia Mu and went home.

Jia Baoyu felt a little bit lost after his two younger sisters left, not to mention the hesitant look of the two before they left, which made him completely confused and could only watch The two left in a daze.

Jia Yu didn't know about these things, he had to go to the Yamen every day to answer questions, and now, under Shui Mu's deliberate promotion, he was still the youngest and fastest promoted second-rank official.Now he has officially been appointed as the left servant under Lin Ruhai's household department, he has to get up in the middle of the night every day to go to the morning court, and he has to stand outside the shop door to blow the cold wind...

Jia Yu's rapid promotion made all the courtiers look sideways. This is simply too eye-catching, but Shui Mu always finds a very sufficient reason every time.What's more, now that he is under the household department, with Lin Hai around, Jia Yu really can't suffer a big loss.

On this day, the Jia family received a very special post, inviting all the young ladies and sons of the Jia family to attend the banquet held by Concubine Beijing.

Therefore, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Yu from the Jia family, Xue Baochai from the Xue family, Lin Daiyu and Lin Cong from the Lin family were all invited. As for why there were no Xue Pan and Jia Lian, it was just because of this The banquet can also be regarded as a blind date banquet in disguise. Most of the people invited are unmarried men and women, and they are the heirs of everyone with relatively high character and virtue.

Mother Jia was also very happy when she got this post. She even said three good things, and then quickly ordered Wang Xifeng to make new jewelry and clothes for Sanchun. Now Yingchun and Tanchun have reached the age to consider marriage, although Xichun is still a little young, but if she can show some limelight at such a banquet, it will not be difficult to arrange a good marriage in the future.

Jia Yu knew that her sisters were going to attend the banquet, and also knew that this was a rare opportunity.So I deliberately brought back five sets of hair masks from Jianbaozhai, all of which were in line with the temperament of the five girls in the family. They can make people more beautiful without being too eye-catching.

After getting back the jewellery, Jia Yu asked Qishuang to send one set to Sanchun and Baochai, and ordered Yunzhu to send the other set to Daiyu in the Lin residence.

On the day of the banquet, Mother Jia sent appropriate people to go to the Beijing Palace with the brothers and sisters at home.First of all, the first stop was to go to Lin Mansion to pick up Daiyu and Lin Cong, so Daiyu and Baochai took a car with eight treasures of green cover and pearl tassels. wheel marquee.And Baoyu, Jia Yu, and Lin Cong rode in front of the two chariots on horseback, and around the chariot were the maids of various girls and several wives.

When everyone arrived at the Beijing Prince's Mansion, they found that many people had already arrived, and the carriages in front of the gate were already lined up.All the families still lined up one by one, and entered the palace one by one in order, and none of them jumped in line.

After waiting for a while, it was finally the turn of the Jia family girls.Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu took the lead, followed by Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun.

With the looks of Baochai and Daiyu, they naturally attracted some attention as soon as they got out of the car, and Sanchun who was following behind did not give way even if they were not as good.

Baochai and Daiyu also sensed that a lot of eyes were on them, and they understood each other's concerns when they looked at each other, so they intentionally took the three girls from Jia's family to find a place in a corner.Yingchun felt a little uneasy being watched by so many people, and even her arms trembled a little.Tanchun, on the other hand, faced these gazes in shock, and seemed to hold Yingchun casually, so that she would not show timidity. As for Xichun, it was probably because of her young age, and she was only slightly curious about the scenery of the palace.

It was the first time for these five girls to participate in such a banquet. Although the famous daughters in the capital also knew a few, because the Jia family always kept the girls in captivity, except for some relatives, they never knew each other again. Several.

Jia Yu, Jia Baoyu, Lin Cong and others got off their horses and were ushered to the place where the male guests were. You can see many familiar faces here, all of them are distinguished sons and daughters in Beijing.

Among this group of people, Jia Yu is probably the highest in terms of status and official rank, not to mention the turmoil in the court today, and the one who stirred up this muddy water is the 13-year-old third son of the Jia family.For a while, many people came to seek relationship with Jia Yu.

Although Jia Yu was impatient to deal with this group of second-generation ancestors, she couldn't tear herself apart at such a banquet.After all, if you don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, if there is any dispute at such a banquet, it will be a slap in the face of King Jingjing.

Finally, after exchanging pleasantries, someone came to report, "The banquet has begun."

So, a group of people began to sit in twos and threes.Jia Yu glanced casually, and there were not too many people invited, there were about twenty girls, and there were probably more than twenty young men, the number was quite balanced.

There is an independent table above, obviously there is the position of the master, Dowager Bei Jing.And the king of Beijing Jing is also very face-saving. He has already arrived, and is sitting at the lower head of the upper seat.The male guests and the female guests were sitting on both sides, but Jia Yu found that the eyes of the king of Beijing, Shui Rong, were looking at them from time to time. Jia Baoyu, the second elder brother of his family.

At the time of Jia Zhen's funeral, they met Shui Rong for the first time. At that time, Jia Yu felt that the King of Beijing Jing was too warm to their brothers.No, to be precise, he was too enthusiastic about his second brother.Even Jia Yu still remembers the look she gave Baoyu before Shui Rong left, but there was something profound about it.At that time, Jia Yu just thought it was strange, but now she can't understand it all the more.

Jia Yu glanced at Jia Baoyu who was sitting next to him from the corner of his eye, and saw that his silly second brother was slightly flushed, and he didn't even dare to look in the direction of Shui Rong.Jia Yu was speechless for a moment, and wanted to open Jia Baoyu's brain to see the structure inside.Don't you want to be so shy? People just look at you. Is this little daughter-in-law afraid that others will not know that there is something wrong between you two?

Lin Cong, who was sitting on the other side of Jia Yu, only felt that the air pressure on Jia Yu's body was constantly decreasing, and now he felt a little cold.Lin Cong looked at Jia Yu in confusion, what kind of temper is this guy throwing again, who provoked him again?

This kind of banquet is almost the only chance for the sons and daughters of each family to see the daughters of each family. Besides, I am afraid that it is a banquet hosted by the emperor or the empress in the palace. The screen avoids suspicion.

After all the girls and young masters were seated, Princess Bei Jing also arrived.

This is a woman who looks elegant and luxurious, and she is not very old, at least compared to her actual age, she looks very well maintained now.Her eyes were slightly restrained, and there was a decent smile on the corner of her mouth.

Jia Yu also felt quite moved when she saw such a Grand Concubine of Beijing Jing. The King of Bei Jing was able to live in peace until now, and she must have contributed a lot to this Grand Concubine of Beijing Jing.Although Shui Mu wasn't at the point where he couldn't tolerate his brothers, he must be on guard against these people.

Among the four kings so far, Shui Rong is still the most acceptable to Shui Mu. This is not only because of the relationship between the children of the same clan, but also because the Beijing Palace gave up military power at an appropriate time.And the King of Beijing Jing himself is a long-sleeved and good dancer, and he is more cautious and hardly participates in the core of power.

Therefore, although the Beijing Palace has lost the military power it relied on for survival, it is now the highest among the four kings. Even though he has inextricable connections with Prince Yizhong, when Prince Yizhong fell, he was still able to take care of himself. This has to be said to be a skill.

Concubine Bei Jing announced the start of the banquet, and the girls and boys of the family began to chat and laugh in a low voice.Later, at the suggestion of Concubine Bei Jing, some games were played, and the daughters present showed their talents.The two of Bao Dai and Jia Jia Sanchun also performed brilliantly.

Not to mention the talents of Bao Dai and Dai Yu, but Tan Chun also has two skills, which surprised Jia Yu.Although I knew that Tanchun was quick-witted before, I didn't expect him to be so outstanding.

Jia Yu thought inwardly: These girls from the Jia family are so outstanding, and coupled with the current status of the Jia family, it seems that these girls' future prospects will not be bad.

Just after Baochai finished her performance, Princess Beijing, who always only commented on the talents of other ladies, praised her all the time, and even stretched out her hand and said to Baochai: "This girl from Xue's family is indeed a good one, come on!" Come and sit next to me."

Baochai was overwhelmed by Princess Beijing's performance, blushed slightly, but suppressed the turmoil in her heart and sat beside Princess Beijing.Afterwards, Princess Beijing also watched the performances of other young ladies, but it was just perfunctory.She just held Baochai's hand, and the two whispered something, with smiles on their faces, as if they hated seeing each other late.

Jia Yu looked at the situation with Concubine Bei Jing, raised her eyebrows slightly, and thoughtful eyes flashed across her eyes.

Sure enough, at the end of the banquet, Concubine Bei Jing said: "The girl from the Xue family hit it off with me right away. I only have one son in my life, but I have never had a daughter. I want to recognize the girl from the Xue family as a foster daughter. You Do you like it?" said Dowager Bei Jing and looked at Baochai.

Baochai froze on the spot for a while, but Daiyu pushed her alertly and quietly.Then Baochai hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Thank you, Concubine, for your appreciation, this is a blessing for women of the people."

Concubine Bei Jing smiled slightly, and said angrily, "Young girl, you're still called Concubine."

Baochai's face flushed, and she followed the concubine's wishes and called mother.Jia Yu smiled at the side, presumably this is what Shui Mu arranged to give Baochai an identity.Today's Baochai is the adopted daughter of Concubine Beijing, and her status is much higher than that of the merchant's daughter.

The people below have torn so many veils and bit their roots, those daughters are jealous of Baochai's good luck and despise her status, but they can't do anything about it.Concubine Beijing said that she wanted to accept Baochai as a righteous daughter, and her status will be more noble than them in the future. If Concubine Beijing loves her very much and asks for a title for her, then it will be even more important for them to meet Baochai in the future. It's time to salute and say hello.

Jia Yu clearly understood that this banquet was only held for Baochai alone, and everyone else was a foil.But it is also good for other girls in Jia's house. If there is a little bit of fun here, it can let other people know that the girls in Jia's house are not bad.
