Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Within half a day, the news that the daughter of the Gu family was canonized as the eldest prince spread in Beijing. Many people sighed. He made preparations early on, and fought openly and secretly to be selected in private. Unexpectedly, it was a waste of work in the end, and the Gu family took advantage of it instead.

These people are unwilling to hope that their hopes fail, but the Gu family has been passed down for a hundred years and has a deep foundation. How can they afford to offend them?

Naturally, the Jia family also got the news. Mother Jia ordered someone to call Mrs. Wang over and asked: "Tomorrow is the gift for the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Have you prepared the gift yet?"

Mrs. Wang was startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "These are all prepared by Feng girl, so they must have been prepared properly."

After hearing this, Jia Mu said, "Tomorrow, you go with Feng girl, and let me have a look at the prepared gifts."

Mrs. Wang also understood what Jiamu meant. Because Gu Ling was a junior, she didn't pay much attention to tomorrow's ceremony. She only asked Sister Feng to go to the banquet, but she didn't intend to go.

However, now that Gu Ling has been canonized as the eldest prince and concubine, if there is no accident, the eldest prince will be the crown prince in the future, and Gu Ling will be the crown prince. The future mother of the country must not be neglected. Go tell Sister Feng.

After a while, Sister Feng hurried over and saluted quickly. Fang asked the maid who followed her to put down the things she was holding, and said to Jia Mu: "Old ancestor, this is the congratulatory gift for Miss Gu." Before, it was two pieces of hairpin jewelry, two bolts of palace silk, and two bolts of palace satin. I just got the news, so I replaced the two pieces of jewelry with a set of red gold and silk ruby ​​heads, and added four more pieces of silk. How do you feel about your ancestors?"

After all, I opened the brocade box containing the jewelry and had a look at it with Jia Mu. This set of hair masks was carefully selected by Sister Feng. There are nine pieces in total. The workmanship is complicated and gorgeous. The pieces of silk and satin are also fresh patterns used in the market, and the colors are bright.

Jia Mu took a closer look, then shook her head and said, "This set of hair is certainly gorgeous, but it's a bit too vulgar, and it's heavy, so it's cumbersome to wear. Besides, the Gu family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a deep foundation. I haven't seen any good things. However, such things may not be able to catch people's eyes."

After hearing this, Sister Feng laughed and said, "When I was young, I couldn't compare to my ancestors. I have seen everything. Please ask my ancestors to teach me something."

guide me. "

Mrs. Wang also said: "Although Miss Gu has been registered as the Great Prince's Concubine, she has not yet married, and tomorrow is just a gift. It is not appropriate for this ceremony to be too light, and it is not appropriate to be too heavy. It is really difficult to judge the proportion."

Jiamu pondered for a moment, then called Yuanyang and said, "Go and fetch that set of white jade heads in the shape of plum blossoms, and the two bolts of tapestry silk satin woven in Jiangnan that I got a few years ago."

After hearing this, Yuanyang agreed, and took the little maid to go, and after a while, she really brought a red sandalwood openwork box with hundreds of flowers and two bright silks and satins.

The mandarin duck opened the box, and everyone's eyes lit up. It turned out that inside was a set of small suet white jade jewelry, including hairpins, jade bracelets, rings, and earrings. They were all carved in the shape of plum blossoms. Open, or in bud, very delicate and unique, jade-colored crystal clear, warm and delicate, as fresh and tender as suet.

Look at the other two pieces of silk and satin, one is soft satin with eight balls of light and landscape patterns on lake green ground tapestry, and the other is brocade brocade with peacock feathers wearing beads and embroidered cloud patterns, which is exquisite, gorgeous and radiant.

After seeing it, Sister Feng was full of admiration, and said: "It is really rare to find suet white jade of such fineness. It is exquisitely carved, elegant and unique, and the two bolts of satin are even better than the last ones. Only the ancestors can produce such good things. "

Jia Mu laughed and said, "This set of jewelry was given to me by my mother back then, and I kept it at the bottom of the box without wearing it. The two bolts of silk and satin were fresh designs and colors weaved in the south of the Yangtze River in the early years. They are all in, and I only got these two horses, although they are not very expensive, they are fresh and unique, but they are easy to get, so you can take them with you tomorrow."

Sister Feng hurriedly agreed, and handed it to Ping'er to keep it carefully.

The next day, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng got up early in the morning to freshen up, packed up all kinds of gifts, and went to Gu's residence by car.

At this time, there was a lot of people in front of the gate of the Gu Mansion, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses, which actually blocked the main gate of the street.

It turned out that many people saw that the Gu family was going to have a crown prince and concubine, and they all scrambled to curry favor. When they found out that today was the gift of Gu Ling and Ji, they hurriedly arranged congratulatory gifts, and went to the door to congratulate them in person.

Originally, the Gu family didn't want to publicize it, so today's Jiji ceremony was not planned to be a big one, they only posted posts for close friends and relatives, but unexpectedly, many people came here uninvited, which caught the entire Gu family by surprise.

Mrs. Gu was in the inner hall to greet several respected elders, and she couldn't help sighing when she heard this letter.

Feng Shi came over and asked her to arrange a few more banquets to greet everyone.

The sedan chairs of Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were also blocked in place, so they could only wait patiently in the sedan chair.

Sister Feng lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the gorgeous sedan chairs outside, and recognized that they were all the wives of the princes and nobles, she was very envious. This Gu family has a princess, and the future glory and wealth will be endless.

After a while, the housekeeper of the Gu family brought people out to clear it, and the sedan chair started moving again.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng got off the sedan chair at the second gate, and they were led into the inner courtyard by Sun Shi, the eldest grandma of the Gu family. Sit down.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the flower hall, and almost all the famous families in Beijing had come. Thinking of her daughter who had been in the palace for many years, she couldn't help sighing.

A group of wives were chatting and joking, when they suddenly saw Daiyu walking into the flower hall, chatting and laughing with a group of young servants, among them Daiyu was the youngest, and her grade was not high, but no one dared to despise her in the slightest. Very respectful and polite.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wang couldn't help sighing secretly, her mood was very complicated, as expected, the world is impermanent, who would have thought that the little girl who lived under the fence would have today!

There were many visitors today, Daiyu didn't pay attention to these, and together with Mrs. Sun greeted the guests to take their seats.

Today she wore a moon-white jacket with a stand-up collar, a goose-yellow pair of plackets embroidered with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms, and a pomegranate red satin skirt underneath.

Seeing her young age, the wives of the royal family saw that she advanced and retreated well, and her appearance was peerless, her demeanor was elegant, and her every move was refreshing. They couldn't help but admire her, and said: "Second Grandma of the Gu family is really a fairy-like figure. Fortunately, she came out early. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people have broken their heads!"

Many people are secretly envious of Daiyu's good life. The Gu family has a deep foundation, a clean and upright family, a generous dowry, a motivated husband, and entered the Imperial Academy at a young age. Now my sister-in-law is the future princess. It is true that all good things have fallen to her alone. body.

One of them was Zheng Shi, the daughter of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Before she left the pavilion, she fell in love with Gu Zhan and wanted to marry into the Gu family, but the Gu family didn't like her and hired Daiyu instead.

Mrs. Zheng picked and picked, but in the end she only married the son of a sixth-rank official, and she was always angry. Seeing Daiyu's appearance today, her heart became more and more jealous, and she deliberately whispered: "Fortunately, this second grandma Leaving the cabinet early, otherwise it will be two years later, maybe this time you will be elected to the First Prince's Mansion

Oh, what's wrong with Miss Gu! "

The people around were startled when they heard the words, and they all looked at her in surprise, is this person bewitched?How dare you even say such a thing?

The other person was familiar with her, so he hurriedly pulled her away, and said in a panic: "Quickly shut up, you are dying, you can talk about such things indiscriminately!"

Only then did Zheng realize that she originally wanted to humiliate Daiyu, but she didn't expect that her words would ruin the reputation of the royal family, so her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly shut her mouth tightly, not daring to speak again.

The people next to her coincidentally moved away from her, they really had no brains, and they didn't even look at the occasion, they said such words, so don't trouble them.

Fortunately, all the guests have arrived at this time, and the Jiji ceremony begins.

At this time, Gu Ling had been invited out, dressed in plain and dark clothes, kneeling and sitting on a brocade mat.

The guest of honor was Mrs. Jiang from Shoushan Bo's Mansion, who carefully combed Gu Ling's long hair into a beautiful bun with an ivory comb, and Fang took the jade hairpin from the tray in the hands of the praiser and put it on solemnly.

Everyone was very surprised, old Mrs. Jiang was Gao Dexun, and she was also the queen's grandmother, she had a high status, and she didn't dare to disturb her old man when she waited for other people's weddings and ceremonies. They didn't expect to be the guest of honor for the eldest daughter of the Gu family today.

Many people thought to themselves, it seems that Mrs. Jiang is very satisfied with this great-grandson-in-law, and the girl of the Gu family won this dignity, and no one would dare to look down on her in the future.

After the ceremony, the banquet officially started. The banquet was full of fresh food, wine, fruit and vegetables from the mountains, the south, the sea, and the north.

After the banquet was over, everyone left one after another. Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang returned to the mansion, first went to answer Jia Mu, and said something about today's banquet, before going back to the room to wash and change clothes.

After tidying up, Sister Feng hugged Zhi Geer to tease him, and said with a smile, "Does Zhi Geer miss Mom?"

Zhi Geer is almost two years old now, and has learned a lot of words. He can speak everything fluently, such as father, mother, and sister. At this moment, he frowned faintly and said sullenly: "Mom won't take me when she goes out to play."

Sister Feng was funny, she nodded his little nose, and said: "Mom is going to do some serious business today, isn't there a sister playing with you at home?"

Zhi Geer was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and said with a puckered mouth: "Ignore my sister!"

Sister Feng was puzzled, she looked at Ping'er wonderingly, and said, "Is this another quarrel?"

Ping'er smiled and said: "Today my sister found out that my brother was stealing snacks. My sister reprimanded him and took away all the cakes that my brother secretly hid. I am losing my temper right now."

Chico is the only one in the big room

Miao has always been favored, Jia She and Mrs. Xing are very spoiled, give what they want, never stop eating pastries and candied fruit, resulting in two decayed teeth at a young age.

The imperial doctor told him not to eat too much sweets, and no one dared to give him any more, but Zhi Geer was spoiled, and secretly hid snacks if he didn't give them to him. Turn a blind eye, only sister Qiao is very strict and never allows him to eat too much.

Strange to say, sister Qiao was never used to him, but Zhige liked this sister the most, and listened to sister Qiao the most, everyone was amazed.

Sister Feng couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and she coaxed the little guy for a while before making the little guy happy.

The mother and son were talking affectionately when they suddenly saw Jia Lian coming in with a sullen face, and was startled when he saw Zhi Geer. Talk to your grandma."

Seeing this, Ping'er hurriedly hugged Zhi Geer and went down, and the other people in the room also retreated with great winks.

Sister Feng frowned and said, "I've been away for half a month, and it's so easy to go home, let alone be happy. What kind of anger are you doing?"

Jia Lian sneered and said, "It's about to be a catastrophe, how can I be happy!"

Sister Feng was taken aback when she heard the words, and hurriedly said, "What disaster is imminent? What happened?"

Jia Lian said: "I just came back, and I heard that Zhen's family secretly sent several boxes of things. Is it true?"

Sister Feng was taken aback, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "In those few days, Zhi Ge had a fever, and I didn't care much about it. I heard that some women came to the Zhen family, and they looked pale and flustered. I don't know what the secret is. thing."

Seeing her expression, Jia Lian couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile and said, "You still want to hide the matter from me. The Zhen family committed a crime, but you accepted the things from the Zhen family and hid the criminal's belongings. This is a great crime!"

Sister Feng's complexion changed when she heard the words, and she became a little flustered in her heart. She insisted: "How can it be so serious? It's very common for families to store things with each other, and besides, there is still the empress in our palace, Your Majesty How can we be punished for this.”

Jia Lian sighed, and said: "In the past, I would not be afraid to sue our family for treason, but now it is no longer the same as before. The Holy One has long been dissatisfied with us, and he just endured it for the sake of the Supreme Emperor.

Now the Supreme Emperor has long since stopped asking about government affairs, and all the power in the court is in the hands of the Holy Master, and something happened to the Zhen family, so it is too late for us to be cautious

And, now he is helping to hide the belongings, isn't this a rush to pass on the handle. "

After being taught by Lin Ruhai these years, Jia Lian was no longer the Amon of Wu Xia. He was clever and flexible in nature, and he also worked in the household department. He had a lot of experience and had some knowledge of government affairs.

Seeing Jia Lian's solemn expression, Sister Feng also felt the seriousness of the matter, and she became a little flustered for a while, and said anxiously: "I didn't want to care about this at the beginning, but it's not that you don't know about my wife's temper. It's useless even if we talk about it." , besides, the things have already been accepted, so why not return them?"

Jia Lian frowned and said, "If you don't go back, why don't you keep it as evidence?"

Sister Feng smiled bitterly and said: "The past two years in our house have become more and more difficult. Now that we have this sum of money, we can support it for a while. My wife is not willing to return it. Besides, although my wife accepted these things, the old lady knows about them." , our family and Zhen's family are old relatives, and now their family is in trouble, if we go back, it will be an enmity."

Although the Zhen family was defeated, there are still many old in-laws, not to mention Concubine Zhen and the fifteen princes in the palace.

Jia Lian also found it difficult to hear this, and said, "Then what should I do?"

Sister Feng sighed, and said: "Tomorrow, I will think of a way to secretly copy the things sent by the Zhen family. If the higher-ups ask questions in the future, we will find a way to collect money to pay back."

As soon as Jia Lian heard it, she knew that Sister Feng was still thinking of luck, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he sighed and put his hands away.

At the end of winter, the Zhen family was escorted to Beijing, and the house was ransacked due to crimes such as being short of money. The two brothers Zhen Yingjia and all the children of the clan were sentenced to exile in the sea, and the rest of the family were also demoted to common people.

Sister Feng was worried for a while, but it was calm outside, no one came to check the property of Zhen's family, she breathed a sigh of relief and gradually relaxed.

One day, Li Wan and Sister Feng were talking in the room, and suddenly saw Amber in Jia Mu's room coming to pass a message: "The old lady asked the eldest grandma and the second grandma to go to the room to talk."

The two rushed to Jiamu's room, only to see that Mrs. Wang was there with a smile on her face, but Jiamu's expression was indifferent, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.

Li Wan and Sister Feng looked at each other, both of them were puzzled, not knowing what happened.

The two glanced at Jiamu's expression, and asked cautiously, "I don't know what the old lady ordered us to come here?"

When Jia's mother heard the words, she glanced at Mrs. Wang and said lightly, "I have discussed with your masters and wives to hire Baoyu as a daughter-in-law. I asked you to come here for the appointment."

Mrs. Wang was full of joy, and said: "I have already sent someone to Xue's house to tell, and my aunt has agreed. What I mean is to hurry up sooner rather than later, and choose a date to make an offer to Xue's family. You should sort out the dowry gift earlier."
