Dai Yuxin says

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is full of love and righteousness, and the three masters and servants enjoy themselves happily.

In the Jiamu Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, there was a thick haze and a cold wind.

The sky was gloomy, and at this moment there were snowdrops floating in succession.People shrugged and stomped their feet vigorously, complaining in their hearts that Mrs. Wang was too greedy, which made everyone have a bad life, and even suffered during the New Year.

A voice came from outside the courtyard, "Prince Dingguo, the concubine and Princess Shizi are visiting, and they have arrived at the corner of Dongcheng Street."

Jia Amnesty was like a loose spring, jumped up with a snort, plunged into Jia Mu's room, and shouted loudly: "Mother, Prince Dinguo and Princess Wang have brought their sons and princesses here."

With her eyes closed, Jia Mu, who seemed to be dead, heard the words as if she had been injected with a stimulant. She suddenly opened her eyes, revealed her nakedness, and asked loudly, "Hurry up and meet me, just say I will be there in a while." Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, in case of an amnesty, went back to their rooms and dressed up to welcome the distinguished guests.

This Prince Dingguo is the most beloved younger brother of the former emperor, and also the uncle Yao who is the direct relative of the current emperor.

The prince of Dingguo is eccentric by nature. He likes to be a knight-errant in the world, but he doesn't like court life.Adults don't care about anything except fighting.Now that there is no war, he lives on the southeast coast, staying away from temples and power disputes.The current emperor has repeatedly ordered him to return to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, but the prince has repeatedly refused.

However, last autumn, the emperor did not issue a decree, but he took the whole family back to Beijing quietly. It is said that he will not leave this time.As a prince, it is difficult for the court ministers to see him because he never goes to court.

Today, he did not invite himself to visit Jia's mansion. This is the surprise of the princes and ministers in the capital, and it is also a great honor for Jia's mansion.

The main gate of Jia's mansion was wide open, and Mother Jia, dressed in the clothes of a woman who was destined, was trembling with a nanmu cane. She led the whole family to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and stood in the bitter cold wind to welcome Prince Dingguo.

An ordinary carriage without any signs came ahead, and it stopped at the gate of Jia's mansion without any scruples.

The servant looked at it funny, and scolded carelessly: "It's really a sightless thing! I don't even look at this place, dare to come to the tiger to take a nap with its nose down, it really doesn't choose a place." Immediately, he bared his teeth and claws and chased him away: " Go! Get lost, you bastard! My ancestors are out, and Prince Dingguo will come to visit you soon. If you want to die, you should find a place."

The driver jumped out of the carriage, couldn't help but push the servant away, and shouted: "You want to court death! My prince has arrived."

Ding, Jia's servant, covered his mouth with his hands, stared round his eyes, and stood there frightened.

The prince jumped out of the carriage, turned around and helped the princess to get off the carriage as well.Afterwards, a burly sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old handsome and lively girl came down.They got out of the carriage and didn't move forward, they just tilted their heads and stood there looking at the people who greeted them at the door with relish.

Jia Lian has worked in the Rongguo Mansion for many years, and has seen some people in the world. Seeing that these people are dressed in common clothes, they have extraordinary bearing, and they know that they are not ordinary people.He cupped his fists and said, "Excuse me, Your Excellency?"

The prince narrowed his eyes, and muttered, "You must be the second son of the Jia family, right? I am Prince Dingguo."

With a flattering smile all over Jia Lian's face, he took two quick steps and saluted.Extremely warm and courteous, needless to say.

Mother Jia led a group of female relatives dressed in life-wives to rush over, and stepped forward to greet them respectfully.

Jia She bowed his waist and waited, slavishly ushering the distinguished guests into the hall, where the prince and his wife sat at the guest seats.

Prince Dingguo laughed and said: "This king is away all year round. He can only lead troops to fight, he can't say polite words, let alone those vain etiquettes. He hates those red tapes. He is too lazy to go to the palace to socialize during the Chinese New Year. It's cold and sitting at home is boring. These two little fellows heard that the young lady of your mansion is outstanding, so they clamored for the king and princess to bring them over to have a look. They couldn't hold them back, so they had to come to bother them."

Prince Dingguo stroked his thick beard and laughed, his burly body shaking with the laughter.

It seems that this heroic prince is also a tender and iron-blooded person who bows his head and is willing to be a ox.

The concubine was originally Gesanghua on the grassland, with a strong and healthy body, but a calm and gentle personality. Now she was sitting there quietly, holding a child's hand in one hand, looking at the prince and smiling peacefully.

Sitting next to the prime minister, Jia's mother heard and saw the words and deeds of the prince's family. She quickly thought about it and said with a smile on her face, "Where, where are the children in our house? It’s just that it looks neater. How can a prince’s son or princess be outstanding.” As he spoke, he turned his head and hurriedly ordered: “Quickly invite Baoyu and the girls to come here.”
