The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Now that Jia Shishi has been persuaded, the remaining two, Jia She and Mrs. Xing, are easy to deal with.

Mrs. Xing did not say that she was heart-warming to Yingchun, but she also showed her full heart.So as long as Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng made it clear, and she knew it was good for Yingchun, she would naturally not object.

Another Jia Amnesty, he now feels that he has given birth to a good son, he is already considered a glorious ancestor, worthy of the Jia family, so he doesn't care about everything, just be his own old playboy.To him, the status of Yingchun is not important. It is a fluke to be a county princess now, so there is nothing else to choose.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng went around each other, and the masters of the Jia family finally reached an agreement: to contact King Shenjun privately to see if he intends to marry the Jia family.

Of course, this matter was handed over to Jia Lian. Now he is the only one in the Jia family who often travels outside, and he has a wide range of people.

On the other side, in Shenjun Prince's Mansion, Situ Yu was also listening to his subordinates' report on the situation.

Although he was not taken seriously, and he didn't have any powerful backing behind him, but he was also a county king, and he had what he should have.Nowadays, every New Year's day, in order to show his benevolence, he will often give him some rewards.

Since the Shenjun Prince's Mansion didn't have a second owner, he managed all these things, and he also trained a few loyal subordinates, but they were inconspicuous.

After hearing what had happened, Situ Yu couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive. It really was the second prince who wanted to attack the Jia girl.For a moment, he was a little glad that he had stepped in, but at the same time he was a little scared, worried that the second prince and the queen would wait for an opportunity to retaliate against him.

After waving the servants back, looking at the empty Shenjun Palace, Situ Yu let out a deep breath: There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. If it can be done this time, maybe I can find a mistress for this mansion.If it doesn't work, the second prince's behavior has been exposed this time, and he has already offended Dongping County Palace and Zhaominghou Palace, and also greatly damaged his reputation. It is estimated that he will not have the time to deal with him, an idle county king.

Such a calculation is not a disadvantage, after all, there is always a risk in everything.

Within a day after the banquet in the Prince's Mansion of Dongping County, various families in Beijing began to spread the "glorious deeds" of the second prince and the eldest daughter of the Lou family.

It's just that others are secretly despising, but now they are really angry. I heard that Situ You came out of the palace with his forehead covered the next morning, and he described it as very embarrassed.

Only the Jia family, not to mention the servants, even the masters are calm and calm, and they have the right to think that this matter has nothing to do with their own family, and they can't hear a single comment.

On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, six books are closed for holiday, and Jia Lian also packs his things and goes home to celebrate the new year with peace of mind.

It's just that on the way back to Jia's house, the carriage broke down. On this windy and snowy day, Jia Lian had to get out of the carriage and go to a restaurant on the side of the road to rest and wait for his family to pick him up.Coincidentally, this is the shop of Prince Shenjun's Mansion, Situ Yu was also drinking here today, since the two met, they had to say hello.

It was really snowing today, there was no one idle on the road, and the shop belonged to Situ Yu himself, so what was said in this meeting, except for the two parties involved, no one else knew.

When the new carriage sent by the Jia family arrived, Jia Lian cupped his hands at Situ Yu with a smile all over his face: "Your Majesty, please stay a step ahead, and wait for the good news from your Majesty."

Although Situ Yu didn't smile as happily as Jia Lian, but his whole body was very gentle, he nodded his head and said, "Master Jia, don't worry, there must be a result on February [-] at the latest."

Jia Lian didn't stay any longer, and bowed again, Shi Shiran went downstairs, got into the car and went home.

Yingchun didn't know anything about this. She had lingering fears about what happened at the last banquet, but after Jia Shishi, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai's explanations, she also came to her senses.As long as one's ability is strong enough, and more careful precautions are taken, those conspiracies and tricks are not terrible, they are just gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

Yingchun, who used to be soft-tempered, became a bit stronger than before after this experience.The most important thing is that I have a little more vigilance, and I no longer treat outsiders and things with kindness.

This change can't be said to be good or bad, but Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing got together and sighed a few words and finally grew up.

Considering that Yingchun is going to get married next year, Jia Shishi and Mrs. Xing didn't plan to ask her to help in this year's festival, they just wanted to let her have a comfortable and easy last year.

But Yingchun doesn't think so, Jia's family has a lot of things to do, but there are few people who can help, and Wang Xifeng's burden is on Wang Xifeng.Before the new year arrived, Wang Xifeng was so tired and thin, Yingchun couldn't help but look at it.

So she took the initiative to ask Ying to help with the chores in the mansion, freeing up Wang Xifeng's hands to attend to important matters such as greeting guests and gift lists, which helped a lot.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were grateful for her sensibility, and privately added a few more units to the dowry for Yingchun, and now they have fully calculated, and there are already 150 six units.The number of this dowry is already 28 more than that of Wang Xifeng at the beginning, and only slightly less than the [-] that is customary for the Crown Princess in Beijing.

In the first lunar month, each family entertained guests and went to the ceremony. Wang Xifeng was busy with family affairs, and most of them were brought by Mrs. Xing to welcome the spring.However, I only went to a few families I was very close to, and didn't go to the other families. Seeing that the draft was coming soon, everyone was afraid of any accidents, and most of them just kept the girls at home.

On the second day of February, this day is not only the dragon raising its head, but also the birthday of Yingchun.

This year is the year when she is 15 years old, and Jia Shishi has sent a message that she will hold a big event.

Wang Xifeng also wanted to make face for Yingchun, so she spread the invitations all over the place and invited all the good people in the middle of Beijing.Not one of the little sisters from Yingchun's childhood was missed, and they all came.

Among them, Jia Shishi personally acted as the guest of honor and invited Prince Li and the old concubine to come to serve.

Prince Li is now His Majesty's grandpa, and he is also the most respected person in the royal family. He is the royal family and is highly valued by His Majesty.And Princess Li was born in the Confucian family in Qufu. She is in harmony with Prince Li and his wife, and has many children. She is a well-known blessed person in Beijing.

If Jia Shishi hadn't been on good terms with her when she was young, others would not have dared to think about her status.

The rest of the praisers invited the second girl from Yongyi Hou's Mansion, who played very well with Yingchun since she was a child, and this time she volunteered to help.As for Yousi, Yingchun personally chose Xue Baochai to take up the position. She was grateful for Xue Baochai's help last time and wanted to give her a chance to appear in front of the noble ladies in Beijing.

Aristocratic women have always had to add three things when performing the Ji ceremony, the hairpin, hairpin, and hairpin are all indispensable.

Of these three things, Mrs. Jia Shi and Mrs. Xing took out one each, but Jia Lian took out the rest of the last hairpin.

Of course, he also borrowed flowers to present the Buddha, and the jasper hairpin with ganoderma and bamboo knots was carved by Situ Yu himself.I don't know how much work and things were wasted, but it took two or three years to get this one, and I planned to give it to my future wife.

Early in the morning on February [-], the servants of Jia's family got busy, and the venue for the Spring Festival and the ceremony was placed in the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall.And from Jia Shishi, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, as well as Youshi and Xiao Jiangshi in the East Mansion, all of them are dressed in gorgeous clothes, without any sloppiness.

All of these things showed the guests how much the Jia family attached importance to this girl.

At the right time, the guests came one after another, Wang Xifeng was in charge of leading the overall situation, Youshi and Xiao Jiangshi helped welcome the guests at the Chuihua Gate.The Jia Shi family entertained the old concubines and old imperial orders of each family. Jia She and Mrs. Xing are today's hosts, and greeted the guests one by one without mentioning it.

As for Yingchun, she was in her own yard with a group of sisters. She just got up early and took a bath, and the maids were wiping her hair with a handkerchief and a smoker.

Xue Baochai and Tanchun were helping to entertain the girls. Everyone knew that today was a good day to welcome the Spring Festival, and there was no one who was not good-eyed to cause trouble when they were talking and laughing.

All of a sudden, Pinellia lifted the curtain outside and came in, leaned over and said, "Girl, Second Mistress said that it's time over there, let all the girls go first."

After hearing this, Tanchun got up quickly and said, "Sisters, let's go out first."

The girls didn't disagree, and they all stood up and responded: "It should be, it's not good to ask the elders to wait."

A group of people came out in a file, even the second girl from Yongyihou's residence went out, leaving only Yingchun and Xue Baochai in the room, and a few serving maids.

Everyone hurriedly helped her change into a set of clothes, short gown and trousers, black cloth top, and scarlet brocade-edged parcel.The simple and natural clothes, together with the cascading black hair, set off a romantic charm of Yingchun.

"Second sister is so pretty, I don't know which family's young master should I go to?"

Xue Baochai helped her up and praised her. There was envy in her eyes, but more joy.

After hearing this, Yingchun pursed her lips in embarrassment, and then said sincerely: "Sister Bao is also good-looking, and we sisters are not bad-looking."

"Yes, we all look good!" Xue Baochai smiled brilliantly, looking more lively than ever.

After stroking Yingchun's hair, Xue Baochai said immediately: "I guess the time is coming soon, go out and wait for you first, don't be nervous later."

Yingchun is actually a little nervous. After today, she is not considered a child, but an adult.

But when she heard Xue Baochai's advice, she still nodded, indicating that she knew.

After Xue Baochai went out for a while, Chunliu came over and asked Yingchun to go out: "Miss, everything is ready over there, you should go out."

Yingchun took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and walked out with lotus steps. Today is her home game.

In the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall, a shelf has been set up with curtains.Jia Shi sat upright, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing took a seat next to each other, and guests from each family sat upright.

The Prince of Li and the old concubine sat alone in the position of the guest of honor, dressed in the make-up of a prince and concubine, solemn and solemn.

Jia She watched Yingchun enter the right side room from afar, and then stood up and said with a smile: "Today, my little girl welcomes the spring and performs the ceremony. Thank you all relatives and friends for taking the time to come. I am very grateful! I announce that the ceremony has officially begun!"

After Jia She had finished speaking, the band sitting behind began to play music.

As the music played, the second girl from Yongyihou's Mansion came out first as the praiser, washed her hands in the golden basin, and sat on the west side of Prince Li and the old concubine.Xue Baochai came out with a tray in her hand, and sat on the other side of Prince Li and the old concubine.

After everyone was seated, Yingchun walked out slowly, arrived in the middle, faced south and bowed to all the guests watching the ceremony.

Immediately facing west, she knelt and sat in front of Prince Li and the old concubine. The second girl of the Zhongyi Hou's Mansion picked up a comb of black wood, brushed Yingchun's hair a few times, and then put the comb down again.

It was only at this time that Prince Li and the old concubine washed their hands, stood in front of Yingchun and said: "On the auspicious day of the Lingmoon, I will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, follow your success and become a virtue. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. "

Then he knelt down and went back, took the ropa and hairpin on the tray held by Xue Baochai, and combed his hair for the Spring Festival.After everything was over, Yingchun got up, saluted and thanked the guests, and the onlookers naturally congratulated them.

Immediately Yingchun returned to the East Wing, and the second girl of the Yongyi Hou Mansion took the clothes from Xue Baochai, followed her in, and with the help of the maid, changed her into a set of plain clothes and skirts.

Yingchun's temperament is mainly gentle, and this kind of plain clothes and skirts make her look like a lotus emerging from water, calm and pleasant.

When she came out after changing her clothes, she bowed to Jia Shishi, Jia She and all the guests, Madam Xing's eyes were red when she saw her.The girl she picked up halfway was a small bunch, but now she has grown up to this size, and she is about to say that she is getting married.

Even Wang Xifeng felt both sad and gratified. The winter jasmine in this life is finally not like the previous life, like a winter jasmine that no one cares about, it blooms but withers silently.

Afterwards, the process was repeated again and again. Princess Li got up and took the hairpin Xue Baochai was holding, walked to Yingchun, and chanted loudly: "The auspicious moon and the day are Shen Erfu. Respect your dignity, Shushen Er Virtue. My eyebrows live ten thousand years, and I will always be blessed by Hu Fu."

Afterwards, she took off the hairpin from Yingchun's head and replaced it with a hairpin. Yingchun went back to the house again, and changed into a dark dress with a curved train.

This style of clothes has long been withdrawn from the range of girls' daily choices. Now that they suddenly wear them, the maids in the room think they look good.It's just that this is not the time for them to gossip and appreciate. After going out to thank the guests again, it finally came to the final stage.

Seeing the hairpin in the tray, Prince Li and the old concubine looked a little surprised, but then she retracted it and said normally: "With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the month, I will serve in Xianjiaer. Brothers are here, and with Cheng Jue De. Huang Ji has no boundaries, and is celebrated by the heavens."

After finishing speaking, he took off the white jade hairpin from Yingchun's head, solemnly tied a cloud-like bun for her, and then gently inserted the jade hairpin with ganoderma and bamboo knot pattern into it.

Seeing Yingchun briskly entering the room to change clothes, Prince Li and the old concubine were thoughtful. The old concubine had seen the hairpin on her head before.It was seen in Situ Yu's hands at a royal party last year. At that time, the hairpin only roughly took shape.

Situ Yu should cherish this hairpin very much, even in the breaks of banquets, he never forgets to polish it all the time.Now that one year has passed, Prince Li and the old concubine can clearly see that the jade hairpin is much rounder and smoother than the hairpin last year. It can be seen that it is always in the hands of people.

Now that she appeared at the Jiaji ceremony of the girl from the Jia family, the old concubine couldn't help but think a little more. Could it be that the Shenjun palace wants to marry the Jia family?But I have never heard of any intersection between these two.

While the old concubine was thinking, a servant girl came running in from outside, and said anxiously to Jia She and the others: "Old lady, master, madam, outside, there is a message from outside, saying yes, that an angel has come to announce the decree." !"

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed. Today, the dragon raised its head. It stands to reason that today and the empress should go to Huangzhuang to plow the fields and encourage the people to mulberry plants. How could there be a sudden imperial decree?

But no matter how surprised and puzzled he was, Jia Amnesty hurriedly arranged for people to set up altars and other things, ready to receive the decree.

Inside, Yingchun was changing clothes, when she suddenly heard the commotion outside, she couldn't help saying: "Ban Xia, go and see what happened, why is it so noisy?"

Ban Xia hurriedly opened the door and went out, and then came in quickly: "Girl, the order is being prepared outside, it is said that it is the order of today."

Feeling puzzled, Yingchun moved her hands a little faster, and she was dressed in a short while. This was also the last set of clothes for the day.

A set of red dress with large sleeves, lined with a little more grace and elegance for the Spring Festival.

Accompanied by the maid, Yingchun walked out quickly, and the guests outside were not in a mess.It's not that everyone hasn't seen the world, but it's just an imperial decree. Who hasn't seen one or two times in a year.

Seeing Yingchun coming out, Prince Li and the old concubine raised their voices: "Miss Jia, come here, let's finish the Jiji ceremony first, it will take a while for them to prepare things."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hearts of the guests settled down. They just watched Yingchun with a smile and bowed to everyone again, which was regarded as full of etiquette.The maid swiftly took away the supplies for Jili, and Xue Baochai took another bottle of fine wine and handed it to the old concubine.

She took it lightly and was caught, muttering in her mouth: "Sweet and sweet wine are thick, and you can recommend them to make you fragrant. Worship and sacrifice, so as to make you auspicious. The rest of the sky, the life test will never forget."

Yingchun saluted again and took the wine.After the guest of honor returned the gift again, he took a sip of the wine, took the rice handed over by Xue Baochai, picked up two grains and ate it, and finally completed the courtesy.

It's time to pick the words for Yingchun, Jia Shishi whispered a few words to the old concubine, and saw her showing a big smile.

Immediately, the old concubine smiled at everyone, and said: "Miss Jia's words were taken by someone else, let's wait for the angel to pronounce the decree, and everything will be known."

Among the people present, the old concubine is the oldest. Hearing what she said, although everyone was curious, they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they had to hold back their temper and wait.

A quarter of an hour later, Jia's table, table, and incense burner were set up, and Jia Lian personally brought in the eunuch Xia Shouzhong, who was by his side today.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Xia Shouzhong didn't say much, and opened the imperial decree and said in a loud voice: "Follow the heavens, the emperor said: Weier, the eldest daughter of Rong Enhou, crowned by the family, celebrates the etiquette, chaste and natural, and speaks beautifully." There is a rule. At the age of fifteen, you can be married, and now you are bestowed with the word Lingyi, which is to order you to be the princess of Shenjun. Go, Qinzai! It is not careless to be entrusted with the emblem!"

Jia's family had been prepared for a long time, and Jia She happily knelt down first and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

The others also came back to their senses, and knelt down to bow down.

Xia Shouzhong received the imperial decree, handed it to Jia She, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to Marquis Rong En, congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the girl of the Jia family!"

Jia She quickly got up from the ground, Jia Shi and Madam Xing beside him were also beaming, even many guests were busy congratulating Jia's family.

Yingchun has long been shyly hiding behind Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing, her face flushed red, she is really embarrassed.

"Hahahaha, same joy, same joy, today's little girl and Ji's gift, if Brother Xia is not in a hurry, why don't you sit down and have a glass of water and wine?" Jia Lian stepped forward and took Xia Shouzhong's arm, pulling him into the house, "Our brother Maybe the two haven't seen each other for a long time, just take this opportunity to have a good talk?"

Xia Shouzhong thought about Situ Yao's order, and responded with a smile: "In this case, I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Xia Shouzhong was here in the Rongxi Hall, so the rest of the guests, along with Jia Shishi, went to the Rongqing Hall to rest and talk.

"I just said that Miss Jia's family is a lucky one, and now it seems that she is not bad, and this blessing has just come." The old princess rubbed Yingchun's hand and said with a smile, "You handed over the post a while ago, saying that it is for you I came to honor this girl, how could I have imagined that she is now my nephew's daughter-in-law!"

Yingchun just lowered her head shyly, not daring to answer a word, it was too sudden.

Seeing that she was really shy, Jia Shishi quickly said: "It can be seen that this is the fate between the old sister and my second daughter. How can others have such a blessing?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Yingchun: "Our adults are talking in this room, you lead your little sisters to play in your yard, be careful not to be naughty and argue and fight."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room laughed, and the Dongping County Palace almost spit out a mouthful of tea: "Since she was young, the old lady of the Shi family has been narrow-minded, and now she has become a great-grandmother. Like talking and laughing. How old are they girls, how can they fight?"

Everyone gossiped for a few more words, Yingchun waited for the girl to get up and leave, avoiding this group of joking adults.

Back in Yingchun's yard, the sisters inevitably laughed again, but they were all kind jokes.Therefore, although Yingchun was shy, she never became angry, and Xue Baochai, Tanchun, and Xichun supported her, and they changed the topic from time to time, and everyone didn't just make fun of it.

After finishing their sumptuous lunch, the wives and girls of each family got up to leave one after another. Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, and Yingchun personally sent everyone to the Chuihua Gate. Seeing people walking away, they turned and went to Rong Qingtang.

Jia Shishi had been busy for half a day today, and already felt a little tired, but he still insisted and called Jia Lian to come over and ask, "Lian'er, why did you come back with Eunuch Xia? And this gift of marriage, so squeaky, Bara The imperial decree arrived, and it was too sudden."

Jia Lian smiled when she heard the words, and explained in detail: "It's a long story to say, but today's imperial decree for granting marriage has nothing to do with me. It was the King of Shenjun who asked for it himself."
