The Jade in the Red Chamber is the Royal Courtyard

"It's good. Since this is the case, I have an idea, so I simply named the garden." Yuan Chun said suddenly.

"It's definitely a good thing for my sister." Xue Baochai also continued to laugh.

"Holding the mountains and embracing the water, it takes a lot of time to build it. There are all kinds of scenery in the sky and on earth, and the Fangyuan should be given to the Grand View Garden." Concubine Jia read out slowly.

"Grand View Garden, it really is excellent." Xue Baochai also repeated and applauded.

Another little eunuch quickly spread the word, so there was another group of Xie En outside.

"Your Majesty, please come in, it's getting cold outside." Seeing that the two Empresses were interested in being here, the etiquette eunuch hurriedly invited them to a seat to accept the ceremony, fearing that they would be wasting time.

Then the two empresses entered the room and sat down slowly. The second eunuch started to laugh, and the second eunuch Yinshe and Zhengyu went to the palace in a row under the platform. Zhaorong said: "Excuse me."He also led the prince of Rongguo and his female relatives to line up on the platform from the east steps, and Zhaorong said again: "Excuse me." So he also retreated.

The tea was offered three times, Concubine Jia and Xue Jieyu descended to their seats, stopped happily, retreated to the side room to change clothes, and returned to the house. Mother Jia and others were already waiting outside.

"Back to your mother, the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion respectfully invite the two mothers to Jin An." Zhao Rong had already sent a message.

"Please come up soon." Concubine Jia was not feeling motivated, she had seen her grandmother and mother for a long time, and Xue Baochai was also excited and wondered if her mother could come.

As soon as Zhaorong finished speaking, Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others came slowly. Concubine Yuan was overjoyed when she saw her, she stepped down from her seat in a few steps, and was about to meet Mother Jia as a family gift. Waiting for someone to kneel down in a hurry and shout "No!"

Yuan Chun's heart was broken, but with Xue Baochai persuading him, that's all.Concubine Jia wept, and went up to see each other, holding Jia Mu with one arm and Mrs. Wang with the other. The three of them had many things to say, but they couldn't say anything, they just sobbed and wept.Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, etc. were all weeping and speechless.

For half a day, Concubine Jia smiled with grief and comforted her: "I was sent to the place where no one can see people that day, and I finally went home today. The girls don't talk or laugh at this time, instead they can't cry. I'll go later. I don't know how soon we'll see each other again!" Speaking of this sentence, I couldn't help but choked up again.Xue Baochai couldn't help wiping away her tears, feeling very miserable in her heart.

Mrs. Xing came up to persuade her.Mother Jia waited for Concubine Jia and Xue Jieyu to sit down, saw each other one by one, and cried a lot.Then the deacons of the East and West prefectures waited in the outer hall to salute.His daughter-in-law and servant girl saluted.Concubine Jia sighed: "Many relatives, it's a pity they can't meet each other!"

Mrs. Wang said: "At present, Xue Jieyu's mother Xue Wang is waiting for the order outside, and she dare not enter without permission."

Concubine Jia immediately said: "Aunt Xue also has a title, please come in and meet Sister Bao soon."

Xue Baochai quickly thanked Concubine De for her kindness. Aunt Xue waited to come in and wanted to perform the national ceremony. Another burst of consolation, that's all, all the sisters also stepped forward to say goodbye.There were also Baoqin and Yinger, the maids who had brought into the palace, to kowtow. Jia Mu hurriedly helped them up and ordered them to enter another room for hospitality.

The deacons, eunuchs and Cai concubine Zhaorong and their attendants, Ningfu and Jiashe's two houses have their own hospitality, and only three or four young eunuchs are left to answer.

answer.Mother, daughter and sisters, it is inevitable to talk about the long-lost scenes and family affairs.

Yuanchun knew that Baochai and his mother must have private things to say, but he ignored them. Baochai held his mother's hand and didn't go anywhere else, but whispered to his mother from the sidelines, and occasionally wiped away his tears. .

Jia Zheng also went outside the curtain to ask An Xingshen and other things.Concubine Yuan and Xue Baochai also received them. Concubine Yuan didn't want her father to give a big gift, but she knew that Jia Zheng was a master of Taoism, so she had no choice but to give her a hand, but Xue Baochai only accepted Jia Zheng's half ceremony. .

Seeing that his father had slightly gray hair on the temples, Yuan Chun couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, and said with tears: "The house in the farmhouse, although it is made of salt and silk,

I have the happiness of the family; although I am rich and honored, my flesh and blood are separated, and there is no interest in the end. "

Jia Zheng also said with tears in his eyes: "Your minister, grass mustard, poor family, among the doves and crows, how can you win the auspiciousness of the phoenix and luan. Today, the nobleman goes to Xi Tian's favor, and goes down to show the ancestor's virtue. These are the essence of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and the ancestors The far-reaching virtue is more important than one person, and it is fortunate to be as good as a government couple. Moreover, the great virtue of the upper body, the heaven and the earth, and the magnanimity that has never existed in the past and the present. It is the blessing of all the people in the world to wish the sage king to live forever. Noble concubines should not think of the dying years of political couples. I pray to cherish myself, but to serve the superior with diligence, prudence and respect, so that the common people will not be responsible for the favor of the superior."

Yuan Chun was very happy when he heard this, and the female officer beside him quickly recorded Jia Zheng's words.And it was completely transmitted to the palace and handed over to the emperor. Concubine Jia also ordered to "work hard on national affairs, take care of it in your spare time, and don't remember it."

Jia Zheng stepped forward and told Baochai a few more words, and then said again: "All the pavilions and pavilions in the garden are inscribed by Baoyu; if there are one or two people who can be watched, please give them names."

It turned out that when this concubine Jia was not in the palace that day, she was also raised by Jia's mother since she was a child.Later, Baoyu was added. Concubine Jia was the eldest sister, and Baoyu was the weaker brother. Concubine Jia thought that her mother was about to get old, so she got this younger brother, so she loved Baoyu differently from other younger brothers.

And with my grandmother, I have not left temporarily.Before that Baoyu entered the school, when he was three or four years old, he had already been taught by concubine Jia and taught several books, with thousands of words in his stomach.Although their names are sisters and brothers, their emotions are like mother and child.After entering the palace, I always brought letters to my parents and said: "Be sure to take good care of your children. If you are not strict, you will not be able to become a child. If you are too strict, you will be in danger, and it will cause your parents to worry." I will never forget my deep love.

The day before yesterday, Jia Zheng heard that the teacher of the school praised Baoyu for his talent. Jia Zheng didn't believe it, and it happened that the Yuyuan Garden had been completed.Although the plaque couplet he drew up is not a wonderful sentence, it may be advisable for young children to do it.Even if it is not difficult to use a famous public to write a large sum of money, it is not as interesting as this family's flavor.What's more, when Concubine Jia saw it, she knew that it was the work of her beloved brother, or lived up to her usual hope.Because of this reason, the couplet inscribed by Baoyu was actually used.

When Concubine Yuan heard Baoyu's ability to ask questions, she said with a smile, "The fruit has improved." Jia Zheng withdrew.Concubine Yuan asked, "Why didn't Baoyu disappear?" Jia's mother asked, "I don't dare to enter without a job outsider."

Concubine Yuan felt slightly displeased when she heard this, and said, "It's just a foreign job." She ordered her to come in.

The little eunuch led Baoyu in, and after the state ceremony, he ordered him to come forward, hold him in his arms, stroked his head and neck and said with a smile: "Bi

Let’s grow a little bit first—” Before he could finish his sentence, tears fell like rain.

"Ma'am, this Jia Baoyu doesn't have a job yet." The little eunuch beside him reminded Yuan Chun in a low voice.

"So what if you don't have a job? Then just give him a job." Yuan Chun said indifferently.

"

"Your Majesty!" Baochai said beside her, feeling secretly startled, not knowing what Yuanchun was thinking.

"Let's reward one of the sixth grade!" Concubine Yuan said indifferently.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Mother Jia quickly knelt aside and thanked her.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Ran from Jia's family quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"I called Baoqin, let her go and talk about it now." Concubine Yuan said flatly.

"Yes!" The little eunuch quickly agreed, and hurried out.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Jia Zheng and the others had tears on their faces. Jia Baoyu was about to become an official, and the other branches of Jia's family came forward to congratulate Baoyu with unspeakable envy and jealousy.

Jia Zheng also laughed from ear to ear, and just said: "The documents from the Ministry of Officials haven't arrived yet, it's just that the empress thinks so."

"So Concubine De is really going to be an official to the family of Jia's family?" The emperor listened to the insider's report with a cold smile on his lips.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Baoqin said from below.

"Since it is the empress's intention, let Jia Baoyu go to the Ministry of Rites to be a civil servant, and his rank is the fifth rank." The emperor waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes!" The eunuch next to him said.

Besides, at Jia's house, after waiting for half an hour, there was no news. Yuan Chun was talking and laughing with Jia's mother and others in the main hall, talking and laughing with Baochai, Sanchun, and Li Wan, while Baoyu was at this time. Waiting outside, after all, he didn't have a job and didn't dare to spend too much time inside.

"The imperial edict has arrived!" In less than half an hour, the little eunuch walked into Jia's house again with the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty!" The Jia family and others all knelt on the ground.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor said. I know that the younger brother of Concubine De's name is Baoyu, who is virtuous and courteous, elegant and elegant, and is the leader of the younger generation. I am specially bestowed as a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, from the fifth rank. Bestowed!" After the eunuch announced the decree, the Jia family quickly kowtowed to express their gratitude. From the position of the fifth rank, the Jia family now only has the highest official position of Jia Zheng, but it is only a fourth-rank official position, but they did not expect that Yuan Chun would ask Jia Baoyu for a word. I took an official position from the fifth rank.

Of course Yuan Chun was overjoyed, her original intention was to ask for a small official position, after all, the current emperor has never given anyone any official position casually, but because of Yuan Chun's words, she granted such an official position to her brother, it can be seen from this The emperor attached great importance to Yuan Chun, which also made Yuan Chun very proud.

Jia Baoyu was dressed neatly, which brought out his elegant demeanor. Everyone in Jia's family congratulated Baoyu one by one.

"Baoyu kowtows to see the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old!" Baoyu bowed to Yuanchun.

"Baoyu, please get up quickly, let big sister have a good look." Yuan Chun's eyes were full of tears.

The relationship between Baoyu and Yuanchun is better than that of mother and child. To put it bluntly, Yuanchun's feelings for Baoyu are deeper and heavier than those for Jia's mother. It is Baoyu who cares most about the Jia family.
