A visit to Fangchun

Tanchun became energetic after sleeping all night. After thinking about it, he took the mandarin duck waiting for the book and quietly went to find Wang Xifeng, and whispered to her: "Mother Shen is very strict and is not allowed to stay up late. We all sleep well. Good. You go to sleep quickly, and you are called at lunchtime. You will replace me again."

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed and very grateful, so she kept Ping'er: "I'll come over in the afternoon, and you go back to sleep. Let's just go backwards."

Tanchun took Ping'er, went in from the main gate, walked through the winding path, passed the green barrier, and then began to inspect from the courtyard on the right, not even letting go of the corners, such as lanterns twisting paper flowers, colorful silk ribbons, cruise ships on the pond, The animals in the cages, the birds in the porch, and the incense candles in the nunnery have all been inspected.

After walking through the whole garden, it was already noon. Seeing that Ping'er was so sleepy, Tanchun smiled and said, "Forget it, it's time for dinner in the garden. Let's also go back slowly and see See how your grandma is doing."

Without saying a word, Wang Xifeng turned around with a group of maids and women, and greeted her with full of energy: "Thank you sister."

Tanchun shook his head, pointed at Yuanyang with a smile, and said, "Thank you, sister Yuanyang. She was sent by the old lady to care for you, and I was just an escort."

Everyone laughed jokingly.Wang Xifeng hurriedly thanked Jia Mu, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's all our family's business, don't say such unreasonable things. Go back to eat quickly, and then have a good rest. Let's make trouble at night."

Tanchun nodded in agreement, and then told Wang'er's family: "Sister Ping is not around, and Wang'er's sister-in-law is the closest person to Second Grandma. Don't teach your aunt to be brave. Go on a tour. You should rest and eat and drink well." Eat and drink. You have also heard that the empress will not come until the beginning of Xu, so it’s early. Du Konger advised her to find a place to lie."

Wang'er's family agreed with a smile on their faces, the contempt in their eyes flashed away.

Tanchun ignored her, smiled and nodded to Wang Xifeng, took the books and the mandarin ducks back to Jiamu's main room, swallowed a bowl of rice with Jiamu's leftovers, and went back to sleep.

Yuanyang waited for Mother Jia to lie down here, explained what had just happened in a low voice, and sighed: "Second Grandma has no good people in her hands. In front of so many people, Third Miss is doing it for the good of her aunt. In the past three or four years, who doesn't know that the third girl is most afraid of the second grandmother in this family? But she still thinks that the third girl is trying to curry favor with the second grandmother. It's really..."

Jiamu snorted, "I'm so stupid."

Yuanyang felt worthless for Wang Xifeng after thinking about it, and sighed again.A good opportunity is enough for the sister-in-law and sister-in-law to form a good relationship. It would be good if Wang'er's family glanced at them so that they wouldn't stir up hatred.

Mother Jia didn't intend to care about it at first, but when Yuanyang sighed, she laughed angrily: "You still can't trust the third girl? She doesn't pay attention to such stupid servants. Back then, Zhou Rui's family was the companion of the second wife. Get rid of it with a word, let alone this one from Wang'er's family - it's just a servant who is not well-known in the Wang family. Don't take it seriously."

Yuanyang was right after thinking about it, she smiled shyly, and tucked the quilt into Jia Mu: "Go to sleep, old lady."

All the people in the mansion who took a nap fell asleep until Shen Zhengfang got up, and then they ate dinner in their rooms, washed their hands and freshened up, and put on their makeup carefully.

Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, and Xue Baochai followed Jia's people for a long time in the morning, and when they left, they realized that they didn't see Lin Daiyu.

Aunt Xue asked Mrs. Wang quietly: "Why didn't Sister Lin come out? Is she sick?"

Mrs. Wang was busy and tired, so she casually said what Mother Jia said just now: "The mother Xu in the palace said that there is no order to arrange shifts, which is like a crime. So she was not allowed to come out." After finishing speaking, there was a pause. , added a sentence: "You guys also hurry back and rest, I will send someone to invite you later." I hurried back to remove my makeup and go to sleep.

Here, Aunt Xue blushed, feeling ashamed and indignant. She dragged her children one by one and flew back to her residence, and burst into tears when she entered the door.

Xue Pan frightened and circled around Aunt Xue, jumping anxiously: "Mother, what's wrong with you? You talk, don't just cry!"

Xue Baochai saw that her elder brother didn't understand what Mrs. Wang said, so she sighed and went to persuade her mother: "What he said is not wrong. Our surname is not Jia, and we don't have any title or title. Mother Xu had already hinted at us when she talked about it. It's just that my aunt didn't take it seriously, and we ignored it. Now we're just repeating the old story, so what's so annoying? Sister Lin just took a place close to the water Guanger, who can be pointed out immediately, that's all."

When Xue Pan heard this, he stared wide-eyed, and it took him a long time to react, and he jumped up: "So we didn't have to get up so early? Can we sleep until the sun is high? Then when they go to pick up the eldest cousin tonight , do we still need to go? Don’t we? "

Aunt Xue was half persuaded by her daughter, then laughed at by her son, wiped her tears and said, "Forget it, I was thinking about it myself. Both of you should go back to your room and rest. I think there will be no news until after dinner. When the time comes when we hear she enters the mansion, let's make preparations, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Xue Pan was already so sleepy that he couldn't stand still, he wished he could make a sound, turn around and run away.

Xue Baochai looked at Aunt Xue carefully, and seeing that she was fine, she just went back to her room to clean her face and catch up on sleep.

Here, Aunt Xue waited for both of them to leave, gritting her teeth——

How did she really gain power?If there are another three to five months, my elder brother will definitely not be able to bear it, and will urge Mrs. Wang to send Xue Baochai to the palace no matter what.In terms of his daughter's appearance, how could Jia Yuanchun, who is already in his late teens, compare to her?The Xue family has been an imperial merchant for generations, so it is natural that a poor official like Jia's family will not be ashamed of their pockets, and they will spend a lot of money in the palace. It will not take long before their daughter will be in the eyes of today——

At that time, I will be the mother of the noble concubine, let's see who dares to give me such anger!

The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the angrier she became, and she lay angrily for a long time, tossing and turning, and did not fall asleep until it was almost lunch time.

Here, Wang Xifeng looked at the approaching time, and hurriedly went back to the room to touch up her makeup, and then watched people bring in candles one by one, and told them to be careful of the lights one by one, before she hurried out. The gate of the mansion, and entered the ranks of the family members who had been quietly arranged.

Jia Tanchun followed Nanny Shen's instructions, watching his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth. He stood quietly and well-behaved in the line, neither looking up nor listening.Only when everything has nothing to do with oneself.

The eunuchs came and stood in their respective positions, and after a faint joy, came the deacons holding various things, and at the end were eight eunuchs carrying a golden-topped golden phoenix tablet.

Everyone waited and knelt down by the side of the road.Then some eunuchs flew over to help Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Banyu entered the Yimen.Then he held his breath, and followed the Prime Minister's eunuch's previous instructions, instead of following Concubine Yuan on a tour, but went directly to the main hall of the palace, waiting for the order to be scheduled.

When Concubine Yuan came back, she hurriedly ordered to replace the "Treasure of Immortals" on the stone archway of the Xinggong Palace with a "family-sacrificing villa", and then avoided the scheduling of male and female family members.After the third offering of tea, Concubine Yuan retreated into the side hall to change her clothes and drove out of the garden.

The next time is family reunion.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying as they walked towards Mother Jia's main room.Wang Xifeng supported Mrs. Wang, and persuaded in a low voice: "My wife wants my daughter to be sad, but don't let others see..." Mrs. Wang reprimanded while wiping her tears: "Who dares to laugh at me?"

Tanchun heard it clearly, his heart was really stupid, he just tried to persuade Jia Mu, and lowered his voice, just said: "All the officials in the palace are here..."

Mother Jia hummed, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and walked back slowly.

After hearing this sentence, Mrs. Wang's heart changed, her face froze, she hurriedly wiped her tears, and walked forward with her chest out.

When Concubine Yuan entered Jiamu's main room, grandparents, mothers and daughters met each other. Concubine Yuan wanted to perform family rituals, and Mrs. Jia Muwang hurriedly supported her.Concubine Yuan took Jiamu with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other. She only glanced at the room, and when she saw the Baibao Pavilion, the bed, and even Chenwei and Meirenchui that she was most familiar with when she was a child, she couldn't stop crying. The spring is like a spring falling down.

Jiamu and Mrs. Wang were also full of words and didn't know where to start, they just looked at Concubine Yuan sobbing.The crowd surrounded them, and they couldn't persuade them, they just wept.After half a day, Concubine Yuan herself endured her grief and forced a smile, and comforted Mrs. Jia Muwang, saying: "Since I was sent to that place where no one can see people that day, it is so easy to go home today, my wife, instead of talking and laughing, I started to cry. .I'll be going for a while, and I don't know how sooner or later I will come." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but choked up again.Mrs. Xing was staring blankly, only feeling that someone tugged her sleeve, came to her senses, and hurried forward to persuade her.Jia Mu waited for Concubine Yuan to sit down, and saw Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and Ying Tanxi one by one one by one, and she couldn't help crying.

For a moment, Baoqin and Qingyun, who followed the concubine Yuan into the palace, came up to greet Jiamu and others. Jiamu hurriedly ordered the other room to entertain, thought for a while, and pointed to Tanchun: "Tan'er, go and settle Baoqin Qingyun Siqi waits for books and they grew up together, let them accompany you. You will come back when you are ready."

Tanchun hurriedly agreed, bowed to Concubine Yuan and left, smiled and took the two of them by the hand to go to the next door.

Concubine Yuan glanced at Tanchun's back unexpectedly, and asked her mother with her eyes, but she saw Mrs. Wang's face was expressionless, as if she was unknown, and sighed in her heart, she looked at Jia Mu gently, and said a few homely things, suddenly Thinking about it, I quickly asked, "Why are Aunt Xue, Baochai and Daiyu missing?"

Mrs. Wang respectfully said: "The foreign family has no job, so I dare not enter without permission."

The corner of Concubine Yuan's mouth raised slightly, she nodded in satisfaction, but she was busy asking.

Tanchun knew in his heart that Mother Jia was giving him a chance to get close to Baoqin and the others, and after letting them sit down, the first thing he did was to make Cuimo: "Go and bring us some of the food you hid."

Baoqin Qingyun hastily declined: "I'm waiting in the palace as an servant, so I don't dare to eat indiscriminately."

At this moment, Nanny Shen followed Tanchun with a good step, although her face was stern, her words were not at all harsh: "Taste it, it's delicious, it's not available in the palace."
