[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Xue Baochai also felt that Wang Xifeng was to blame: if it wasn't for Wang Xifeng's disregard for her parents-in-law for many years, if it wasn't for Wang Xifeng's arrogance, when the young couple had a conflict for the first time, they wanted to make Jia Lian bow their heads instead of bringing her husband back first. Couples wouldn't make it to where they are today.

But Xue Baochai is Wang Xifeng's cousin after all, it's one thing to look down on Wang Xifeng and call Wang Xifeng a girl directly, but joking with Wang Xifeng in front of the elders does not conform to her upbringing, of course, recently she finally knows, Jia Yan doesn't like her meddling in the affairs of her house, especially now, when she is in front of her elders, Xue Baochai has to pay more attention, so she jokingly said: "Old lady, last time I went to the second sister's room, I just sat down. After a short time, I saw a colorful pheasant flying to the second sister's yard, and I think there will be more than one good thing happening in the house this year."

When Jia Yan heard this, he immediately frowned.

Not for anything else, just for the word pheasant in Xue Baochai's mouth.

Not only people like the Jia family, but also the female relatives of wealthy families in Beijing, from the wives and grandmas to the girls below, who doesn't have two pieces of jewelry with phoenixes?Even the two concubines You Erjie and Yan Biju also had Pianfeng's big hairpin after entering the door.

However, pheasants are not worthy of ordinary people.

Because in the harem, only the queen's Zhai clothes are embroidered with twelve rows of pheasants.

Although people often talk about the prosperity of the dragon and the phoenix, and compare the dragon to the emperor and the phoenix to the queen, in the formal etiquette, only the queen can command the Zhai clothes embroidered with pheasants.Even the concubines of the vassal kings are only equipped with the Zhai clothes of the nine-line pheasant, and the high-ranking concubines in the harem can wear Zhenghong and have phoenix crowns and Xiapei, but they are absolutely not qualified to wear Zhai clothes.

The inner court will prepare Fengguan Xiapei for the three wives and six concubines, but will definitely not prepare Zhai clothes for them.

Zhai Yi is exclusive to the queen.

And the rows of pheasants are the queen's symbol.

Since Jia Yan was going to enter the palace, how could he not pay attention to these things? He frowned and said, "Sister Bao, you are here again. It's just that the pheasants and ducks raised in the back garden chased the grasshoppers and flew to my yard." That's all, what else is there to say?"

Although there will definitely be a bunch of pheasants and ducks in the back garden of a big family as an embellishment, and although pheasant is the scientific name of pheasant, in most cases, people will never use the name pheasant.

Aunt Xue also came back to her senses, knowing that her daughter had said the wrong thing, she hurriedly said: "Second girl didn't say anything, I didn't expect it. There are so many grasshoppers this year, and they like to pounce on people's faces. No wonder the government The golden pheasants raised on the farm are all overjoyed."

Jia Yan said: "Yes." After a pause, Jia Yan still couldn't hold back, and said: "In fact, the capital is not bad. I heard that there is a locust plague outside, and the migratory locusts have eaten up Shandong and Henan. The people have been displaced, and the capitals of Gyeonggi Province near these two provinces have been hit... Not to mention taxes, this year the imperial court will find money to help the victims. Even Wanzai has reduced the palace's expenses by half."

Mrs. Wang said: "Could it be that the elder is busy these days?"

Jia Yan said: "Yes. Not only my father, but even Wansui went out of the palace to inspect Gyeonggi-do."

Xue Baochai couldn't help but said: "Doesn't that mean that the elder is now in front of Long Live?"

Jia Yan said in an unusually calm manner: "Yes. Now Long live is also patrolling various places with the locusts rushing towards his face, let alone his father? I heard that his father even lost two pairs of boots. Father is not young anymore, and It's something I'm used to, and it's not as good as Long Live's Ryoma spirit. That's why I'm particularly worried."

Mrs. Wang said: "It's true, sir. Why don't you bring our master along with you?"

It was about Jia Zheng's future, Mrs. Wang had already left Wang Xifeng aside.

To Madam Wang, Wang Xifeng is her niece and daughter-in-law of her natal family, but not her own daughter or daughter-in-law.Wang Xifeng is well, what good is it for her?Wang Xifeng is not well, so what does it have to do with her?To put it bluntly, she gave birth to children for the Jia family, even after Jia Zhu died and Jia Yuanchun was sent away, there was Jia Baoyu who was born with jade in front of her.

Even if Wang Xifeng was divorced and returned to her natal family, it has nothing to do with her.

Mrs. Xing was upset when she heard Mrs. Wang say something like this again: "Where did the younger siblings come from! Although our master has gained a little dignity in front of Wansui! But whoever Wansui wants to call, that is what Wansui said Forget it! Long live wants our master to follow, our master must follow even if both legs are broken; Long live does not want to see our master, our master can only kowtow to the holy car from a distance! Our master is not as good as younger siblings My natal brother has such a face."

This last sentence was added after Mrs. Xing paused.

Originally, Mother Jia still had a grudge, but when she heard Mrs. Xing's last words, she couldn't help frowning.

It's not that Jia's mother said, she can be said to have watched the Wang family step by step from the state of being attached to their Jia family to the current state of being overwhelmed by their Jia family.

If it wasn't for the silence of the Jia family, if it wasn't for the fact that Wang Ziteng has been too popular these years, Mrs. Wang could have been the head wife of the Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years?

If it wasn't for the silence of the Jia family, if it wasn't for the fact that Wang Ziteng was too popular, would Wang Xifeng be able to dominate Rongguo Mansion and not take her parents-in-law into consideration?

If it wasn't for the silence of the Jia family, if it wasn't for the fact that Wang Ziteng was too popular, would Xue Baochai be able to put Tanchun and even Xichun on the airs in the Jia family?

That is, Tanchun was born of a concubine, raised by a girl, and she is also the granddaughter of Jia's mother!

It can be said that if Jia Yan hadn't helped Jia Amnesty step by step in the past five years, I'm afraid that the situation where the daughter of the Wang family controlled the Jia family and Rongguo Mansion would continue.

This is absolutely intolerable to Mother Jia.

Therefore, if Mother Jia wanted to reprimand Mrs. Xing after hearing the first few sentences, but after hearing the last sentence, Mother Jia changed her mouth and said, "That's exactly what you said. There is a saying that thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. However, Elders, do you know how the Rong'er and Qiang'er in Dongfu are doing now?"

Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Chang, and Jia Ling have been brought by Jia She's side since last year. If these four have a good future, then Mother Jia must have a talk with the eldest son.

With such a good thing, how could he forget his brother Jia Zheng?Is there any brother like you?

After being called by Mother Jia and asked such a question again, Mrs. Xing immediately became nervous.

She stood up, sweating coldly, and still pondering over her words.

Just when she was secretly worried, she heard someone say at the door: "Old lady, why don't you just ask your son about this kind of thing? Mrs. Xing is stupid, and my son won't tell her about such things."

As soon as Jia's mother looked up, who was it if it wasn't Jia Amnesty?

As soon as Jia She came in, in the room, except for Jia's mother, starting from Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, everyone saluted Jia She.

I saw that Jia She just nodded and didn't even look at these women. Instead, he saluted Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, the son has already told the second brother earlier. Turning around, the son told the second brother Take it to Xu County, Wansui and all the adults are there. As for whether the second brother can enter the eyes of Wansui, it depends on the second brother himself."

Jia Mu said, "What about you?"

Jia She said: "Old lady, if the son is in front of Wansui, Wansui will only see the son, but not the second brother. And,"

Jia Amnesty paused for a moment and said, "Girl Lin, go back and clean up, and come with me later. Your father is not well."

For more than a month, because of the locust plague and refugees, the news from Beijing and the south has also been cut off. Lin Daiyu has not heard from her father. Speaking, now that it has been confirmed, Lin Daiyu almost fainted.

Jia Yan immediately said: "Father, what's wrong with Uncle?"

Jia She shook his head and said: "It's not good. It is said that at the beginning, it was just a cold infection, but it turned into an injury. It was not confirmed that it was malaria until the end of July. It was a waste of more than a month because of a misdiagnosis. Beginning in June, locust plagues began in Ludi and both sides of the Yellow River. Ludi broke out first. On both sides of the Yellow River, the local governors hid it well. It won't be so long. Now only military and state affairs can be conveyed in time. In short, Lian'er has an errand and can't leave. Second child, he is also at this juncture now, and only I can take Lin girl to Yangzhou .”

Lin Daiyu thanked Jia Amnesty with tears in her eyes, then hurriedly got into the emerald-covered cart she and Jia Yan were used to, and went back to pack her bags.

Here, Mother Jia asked again how Jia Amnesty was going to Yangzhou;

"...Didn't it mean that this road is blocked by refugees?"

Jia She said: "Back to the old lady, I have asked the Yan family to prepare a boat. Turning around, we will go directly down the Haihe River, go to Dagukou to change the sea boat, and go directly by sea. This is what the Yan family is used to. It will not be hit by refugees. As for the second child’s family, Lin Zhixiao is outside, and he will accompany the second child to Xu County.”

Just as he was talking, Jia Zheng also came to bid farewell to Jia Mu, and handed Jia Baoyu into Jia Mu's hands.

When Jia Baoyu heard that Lin Daiyu was leaving Jia's house, he was very sad at first, but after all he was right next to Jia Zheng, and he was most afraid of Jia Zheng, so he didn't dare to cry or catch Jia Zheng's eyes, so he could only feel bored. Watching Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng take Lin Daiyu out of the house in a dull mood.
