Daiyu walked over slowly and sat beside Jiamu.Mother Jia caressed Daiyu's black hair affectionately, and couldn't help sighing in her heart!I originally wanted to keep my precious granddaughter by my side for the rest of my life, but now it seems that everything that will happen in the future is hard to say!
Daiyu felt that Jiamu's hands trembling slightly, she turned her head to look at her grandmother, stretched out a pair of white jade-like hands to embrace Jiamu, and leaned her head into Jiamu's arms.
Mother Jia felt even more sad, her eye circles could not help but turn red, and Tanchun and Xichun who were sitting below were shocked to see Mother Jia crying!I don't know what happened to make the ancestor so sad!
"Old Ancestor, Chai'er greets you, old man." Following a tender call, Mother Jia hurriedly raised her head.In the middle of the room, Baochai was already standing there gracefully, looking at herself with a smile all over her face.
Both Jia's mother and Daiyu sat up straight, and Daiyu stood up and blessed Baochai, saying, "Sister Baochai is here." Baochai stepped forward two steps, and said with a smile, "My sister is in good health." You can tell by the look on this face."
Jia Mu angrily said to Pearl beside her, "How come you didn't reply when Miss Bao came."
"Hehe, Sister Pearl and the little girl at the door have all returned, it's because the ancestors didn't hear it!" Tanchun stood up and laughed.
"You know I'm getting old, and my ears have been reciting in the past two years, Bao girl, sit down quickly." Jiamu laughed.
Baochai chose the second chair from the row of chairs on the right side of her lower head, and sat down just in front of Tanchun, who smiled brightly at her.
Baochai already knew in her heart why Mother Jia wanted her to come here, so she looked at Tanchun on the opposite side calmly. The daughter of an official family has a better background than myself, but when it comes to poetic talent and appearance, I am still slightly better.Thinking of this, I felt a little complacent in my heart, but it didn't show on my face, and I smiled and nodded to Tanchun.
When Jia Mu saw that everyone had arrived, she said to the people sitting below: "I brought you sisters here today to talk about one thing." Hug tightly.
Baochai, Tanchun, and Xichun all looked quietly at Jia Mu who was at the top.
Jia's mother paused for a moment, and then continued: "The former lady came from the palace to say that the emperor will be drafting again in a few days. Originally, this matter has nothing to do with my house, because it has always been drafting girls. They all have requirements for family background. People like us do not have the qualifications to enter the palace as a concubine. Even if you are destined to enter the palace, it is mostly a position of talent. Like your elder sister, you were granted by the emperor back then. Entering the palace as a talented person, she was promoted as a concubine because of her talent and beauty, and she was favored by the emperor. Now the empress said that the emperor loves poets, and she also said that in order to have more virtue, Talented women enter the palace, which is not the same as in previous years. The empress said, this is a good time! I hope that one of your sisters in our mansion can enter the palace, and then there will be an empress If you are a patron, you will be favored by the emperor like your mother, and you will not only enjoy endless glory and wealth, but also honor your ancestors." When Jiamu said this, she paused, and Pearl next to her handed over tea, and Jiamu He took a sip and moistened his throat.
After hearing what Jiamu said, the room was quiet, and Daiyu, who was in Jiamu's arms, broke the silence with a soft cry. "Old ancestor, do you mean that the third and fourth younger sisters are going to be candidates?"
Mother Jia sighed and said, "Isn't that right? I know what you mean, it's all for our house, but when you think about it, she's been alone in the palace for so many years, and she doesn't have anyone to rely on. How did she get through it?"
Tanchun, who was sitting underneath, stood up slowly, stepped forward and said to Jia's mother, "Dare to ask the old ancestor, is this what the empress means?"
Mother Jia hummed softly, and then sighed: "Who is willing to let their daughter enter the palace? Once in the palace, it will be very difficult to see each other in the future!"
Tanchun said: "Isn't the elder sister still able to meet the old lady once a month?"
Mother Jia shook her head lightly and sighed: "Silly boy, that is the kindness that only queens, noble concubines, and concubines have. How can ordinary concubines meet with their family members casually? There are rules in the palace. There are also those who have been condemned to death by the rules!"
Mother Jia only cared about her sadness, but she didn't see a trace of unconcealable joy in Tanchun's eyes!Baochai, who was sitting opposite her, was good at observing, and she had already expected what Tanchun was thinking!
In this family, although Tanchun can be regarded as a decent master, she can't hide her humble background. In order to keep the face of the master and girl, she has to be wronged to draw a clear line between herself and her mother, and do everything to the principal. To please, the object of please also includes himself, the niece of the main house.She is too depressed in this family, and this time the draft is a perfect opportunity to enter the palace. If she can enter the palace and be favored, the third girl will have the opportunity to jump over the dragon's gate and become the lord of the first palace. Who in Jia's mansion would dare to look down on her?Therefore, Tanchun will definitely strive for this opportunity to enter the palace, and the whole Jia family will support her with all their strength.And although there are some silver taels in my family, but there is no backstage support in the palace, otherwise the last time I would not have seen the emperor before I was put down.
Baochai was thinking about it here, and then heard Jiamu sigh: "Yu'er! Grandmother wants to tell you, and there is also Bao girl. Baoyu's mother went to the palace last time and brought back her mother's message. Choose all four!"
Daiyu felt a 'thump' in her heart, and said involuntarily, "I'm not from this mansion, old ancestor!"
Jia's mother hurriedly hugged Daiyu tightly, and said, "Oh! Who told you to live here now? When the empress saw you and Bao girl when she went to visit her relatives last time, she couldn't stop praising her! The previous one specifically asked you two Auntie, I want you two to go too! What can I do with this!" As she spoke, tears welled up in Jia's mother's eyes.
Xichun sat there coldly the whole time, seeing everyone in front of her eyes.Seeing Mother Jia's sad look, he knew that his ancestors really hated this Cousin Lin, and looking at the third sister over there, she was as calm as her, but there was joy in her eyes.
Xichun knew that the third sister was usually high-minded and always thought that one day she would be able to rise to the top, and now her reaction was not beyond her expectations, because if she could enter the palace as a concubine, she would be able to fight for the Jia family like the elder sister. To be glorified is also the best way to prove yourself.
But sister Bao made Xichun puzzled?Three years ago, she came to Beijing from her home and said it was a talent show, but she quietly disappeared. In fact, everyone knows that she is just a business girl based on her family background. It's just a royal comprador, so it's strange to be able to enter the palace!It's just a pretense!Now in the mansion in the past two years, there have been rumors of "golden and jade marriage", what is even more ridiculous is that the aunt of Xue's family who is on the other side of the road, let out the wind to say that "the golden lock must be matched with jade", and looked at it Who doesn't know her fancy ideas!
Xichun just didn't understand why sister Bao didn't show any surprise when she heard what the old lady said, oh yes!This letter was brought out by the wife from the palace. These days, she went to the wife to say hello to her. Presumably she already knew it from the wife, right?
Daiyu felt that Jiamu's hands trembling slightly, she turned her head to look at her grandmother, stretched out a pair of white jade-like hands to embrace Jiamu, and leaned her head into Jiamu's arms.
Mother Jia felt even more sad, her eye circles could not help but turn red, and Tanchun and Xichun who were sitting below were shocked to see Mother Jia crying!I don't know what happened to make the ancestor so sad!
