The Jade in the Red Chamber is the Royal Courtyard

Chapter 146 The Double Concubine Visits the Jia Family to Celebrate

The Shangyuan Festival is coming soon. First, a little eunuch came out to look at the direction. For example, there are also particularities about where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to retire.

He also inspected the local prime minister's defense eunuchs, and brought many small eunuchs to various places to guard against them, block the screens, and instruct the staff of Jia's house where to come and go, where to eat, and where to announce various rituals.

Outside, there are officials from the Ministry of Industry and five city soldiers and horses sweeping the streets and driving out idlers.Jia Amnesty and others supervised the craftsmen to tie up lanterns and fireworks. By the fourteenth day, everything had stopped.That night, Jia's family members pointed out that Jia's mother had never slept, and she couldn't sleep.

All the people were laughing, jumping, excited, and nervous, and Jia Mu and others were no exception.

"Girl Feng, did you send someone to pick up Daiyu?" Until this time, Jia's mother still did not forget about Daiyu, and she wanted to take this opportunity to settle Daiyu's marriage with Baoyu.

"Back to the old lady, Miss Lin sent a letter over early this morning. She is still coughing constantly, so she won't come to see the two ladies. She even prepared gifts for the two ladies by herself." Wang Xifeng accompanied said with a smile.

"Is there anything missing in the palace? This girl is really worrying." Mother Jia frowned slightly and said.

"I said that too, but the person who came said that it's the girl's wish, but the things don't matter how much they are. Sister Lin is a loving and righteous child. She really deserves to be a good granddaughter of the ancestors." Wang Xifeng said smoothly. Put on a tall hat for Jia Mu again.

"Hehehe, this child just makes people feel distressed. After waiting for a few days, you should go and see the child. If he can move, pick him up. It's not okay to have no one to take care of him at that house." Jia Mother thought for a while and continued.

"Yes!" Wang Xifeng quickly agreed, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. Although the Lin family is not considered a rich family, Daiyu is a real housekeeper. Who dares to disobey her? I'm afraid it's this Jia who dares to disobey her. The family is not as good as the Lin family, but Wang Xifeng dare not say it.

Until the five drums on the [-]th, Jiamu and other nobles all put on big makeup according to their products.At this time, in the garden, the tent dances with dragons, and the curtain flies with embroidered phoenixes. Gold!silver!Huan!Colorful, jewels radiate brilliance, a cauldron burns the fragrance of lilies, a vase is filled with stamens of Changchun, and no one coughs quietly.

Jia Amnesty was waiting outside the gate of West Street, and Jia Mu was waiting outside the gate of Rongfu.The streets and alleys are blocked with curtains.Impatiently waiting, he suddenly saw a eunuch coming on a horse. Jia Zheng went on and asked about his news.The eunuch said: "It's too early! The two ladies probably haven't had their dinner at the beginning, and they haven't returned to Baoling Palace to worship Buddha. You first entered the Daming Palace to receive a banquet and watch the lights before asking for an order. I'm afraid they won't get up until Xuchu." Sister Feng After hearing this, he said, "In this case, please go back to your room, old lady and madam. It's not too late to come back when the time comes." So Jia Mu waited and went.The garden is all under the care of Sister Feng.The deacons and others led the eunuchs to dinner and wine, while passing on candles and lighting lamps everywhere.

Suddenly there were different sounds of horses running outside, and a dozen or so eunuchs came panting and clapping their hands.These eunuchs will understand, know that they are coming, and stand according to the direction.Jia Amnesty led the children of the He clan outside the West Street Gate, and Jia Mu led the women of the He clan to greet them outside the gate. It was quiet for half a day.Suddenly, two eunuchs came slowly on horseback, got off their horses at the West Street Gate, drove the horses out of the enclosure, and stood facing west;When I was young, a dozen or so pairs came, and I heard the faint sound of drums and music.Pairs of phoenix chrysanthemums, pheasant feather palace fans, and gold-burning stoves, burning imperial incense, and then a golden umbrella with seven phoenixes with a crank came over, wearing crown robes and shoes, and deacons and eunuchs holding incense towels Embroidered handkerchiefs, gargle bowls, dust whisks, etc.After the teams passed by, behind them were eight eunuchs carrying a gold-topped goose-yellow embroidered phoenix phoenix, and a bright red phoenix phoenix came slowly.

Jia Mu waited and knelt down quickly.A eunuch came early, helped Jiamu and others, and carried Na Luanyu into the gate to the gate of a courtyard in the east.

The eunuch knelt down and asked him to change his clothes.Then he entered, and the eunuchs dispersed, only Zhaorong and Caipin led Yuanchun and Baochai down.I saw all kinds of lanterns burning in the garden, all tied with gauze and silk, very delicate.There is a lamp plaque on it, with the words "Tiren Mude" written on it.Yuanchun and Baochai went into the room to change clothes, and then returned to Shangyu and entered the garden.In the garden, the cigarettes are lingering, the flowers are colorful, the lights are reflected everywhere, and the music is loud from time to time. It is impossible to describe this peaceful scene, rich and romantic.

But Concubine Jia looked at the scenery inside and outside the garden in the sedan chair, nodded and sighed: "It's too luxurious." Baochai just smiled faintly when she looked at the garden, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. Back then, Lin Daiyu moved to Lixiangyuan But because of this garden, I don't know why the person Baochai most wants to see at this time is actually Daiyu.Suddenly I saw the eunuch knelt down and asked to board the boat.

Two people, Concubine Jia and Xue Ji, got off the boat and saw the Qingliu area, which was like a dragon swimming. On the stone railings on both sides, there were all kinds of crystal glass wind lamps, lit like silver light and snow waves; There are no flowers and leaves, but silk, silk, paper, silk and grasses of various colors are used as flowers, and they are glued to the branches. Each plant hangs thousands of lights; moreover, the lights of the lotus, duck, and heron in the pool are also made of snail feathers. Up and down contend for brilliance, the water and the sky glow, it is really a world of glass and a universe of jewels.There are also various bonsai on board, bead curtains, embroidered curtains, osmanthus, orchids, needless to say.

"Sister Bao, is this the garden here?" Yuan Chun said to Baochai with a smile, but his tone was still somewhat condescending.

"Hui De Concubine, it's just this garden. Baochai saw the construction of this garden before entering the palace. It's just that there was only a prototype at that time, and it was far less beautiful than it is now." Baochai replied respectfully, otherwise Jia Yuanchun singled out the slightest flaws in himself.

"But, it wasn't like this before I entered the palace, but things are different now." Yuan Chun felt a little sad as he spoke.

"Where did the lady say this? She is still the same person, but the status of the elder sister is more noble, and the old things are naturally not worthy of your status, the lady." Xue Baochai said with a smile. "Isn't it getting better and better now?" Baochai continued.

"It's a pity that you can talk." Yuan Chun smiled lightly and didn't say anything. Yuan Chun actually agreed with Daiyu's words in his heart, but she couldn't say that. Who doesn't know the most thrifty woman in the harem? Is it Defei Yuanchun?So Yuanchun can't be too luxurious.

At that time, the boat was approaching the inner shore, and when we went to the boat, we saw the graceful Lin Palace, the majestic Gui Palace, and the four characters "Treasure of Heaven and Immortals" written on the stone archway. Yuan Chun frowned slightly and said, "The beauty of the world is beautiful." It's already too luxurious, how can it be compared with Tiangong, let someone change it."

When Baochai heard this, she knew that Yuanchun didn't like the four big characters of "Heavenly Immortal Mirror", so she immediately laughed aside and said, "Then how about changing it to the Provincial Hospital? I don't know if my sister likes it?"

Concubine Jia's brows immediately relaxed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Baochai in her heart. This Baochai's literary talent is really good. Woolen cloth.

"That's right, let's change it!" Jia Yuanchun said with a smile. In one word, Concubine Jia asked someone to change the words "family-sacrificing villa".The people in the Jia family were busy on their backs, those who worked on the ladders, and those who were going to make plaques are all busy, hoping to change them all before Concubine Yuan returns to the palace.

The two concubines entered the palace together, and saw the courtyard burning around the sky, incense crumbs covering the ground, fire trees and flowers, golden windows and jade thresholds; endless curtains with shrimp whiskers, blankets with otters, tripods with the fragrance of musk brains, and pheasants lined up on the screen Tail fan.Really: 金门玉@户神仙府, the home of the concubine of Guidian Langong.

Concubine Jia looked up at the top, and asked a little strangely: "Sister, do you know why there is no plaque in this hall?"

Baochai frowned slightly, then relaxed and said with a smile: "My sister asked me, but I didn't know." Xue Baochai said with slightly disappointed hands.

"But it's rare that my sister doesn't know something." Yuan Chun joked with a smile.

"My sister was joking, even the gods in the sky don't know things, let alone me." Baochai continued to purse her lips and smiled. Although she is a Jieyu, she is incomparable to a noble concubine. , Concubine Yuan is favored, who in the palace doesn't know, who doesn't know?Although the emperor loved her very much, Xue Baochai didn't want to offend Yuan Chun, no matter in anything, so she was cautious in front of Yuan Chun.Even the queen once praised Baochai, saying that Baochai was No. 1 under the four concubines, and even rewarded Baochai with a golden step, which even Yuanchun had never received.

"My sisters are only joking, why are you so nervous?" Yuan Chun couldn't help but said proudly, Yuan Chun was actually very proud of Baochai's carefulness towards him.

"Do you know?" Yuan Chun glanced at the eunuch who was accompanying him with his eyes, and the eunuch who was accompanying him hurriedly knelt down and said, "Back to the two ladies, this is the main hall, and the foreign ministers must have dared not to imitate it."

Concubine Jia and Xue Jieyu nodded at the same time, "Sister, you are very talented in writing, and give this main hall a name." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

"Forget it, since I've said that, I'm going to get up in the main hall, but the couplets are bothering my sister." Yuan Chun said with a smile.

"My elder sister has an order, but my younger sister dare not refuse." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

"Gu Ensiyi" Yuan Chun thought for a while and read it out slowly.

"The decree of the concubine De concubine, the name of the main hall is 'Gu Ensiyi'." Immediately, a young eunuch shouted loudly.

"Thank you, ma'am!" There was a voice of thanksgiving coming from outside.

"Okay, sister, let's talk about your couplet." Yuan Chun said with a smile.

"Well, couplets?" Xue Baochai pondered for a while, but the time was a little longer than Yuanchun, and immediately said, "I think there is a picture of heaven and earth enlightening great kindness, and all people feel the same;

From ancient to modern times, the classics have been honored, and the Kyushu and all nations have been honored.How about my sister? "Xue Baochai laughed.
