A month later, when Qin Keqing took the second dose of medicine and returned to her daily activities without any problems, the good news of Jia Yuanchun's canonization arrived as expected.

"Miss Jin was named Fengzao Palace Shangshu, and conferred the title of Xiande Concubine!"

Jia Zheng at the birthday banquet was suddenly announced into the palace. Jia's mother and others were at a loss waiting for the news in circles in the room, and Lai Da and others who came back to report the letter rushed in.

The news was so surprising that Lai Da didn't care about the rules and didn't dismount until the gate of Jiamu's courtyard.When Jia Mu saw it, she pretended not to see it, and rewarded Da Lai with 20 taels of silver each.

"The old lady is overjoyed, the master has gone to the East Palace now, and sent the younger ones back to pick up the old lady, and the ladies went into the palace together to thank you." Lai Dah took a few breaths before saying the purpose of coming back.

"Okay, okay, just wait, we're going to prepare." Jiamu walked a few steps excitedly, leaning on a dragon-headed crutch, and then took Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You, who were in the house, to grooming.

Madam Gao ordered her to enter the palace with a high-end dressing, the crown on her head alone weighed about ten catties, and with the corset on her body, twenty or thirty catties would be less.Jia Mu is of the highest rank and has the most corollas and flowers on her head.Obviously, going to the palace every year to pay homage is a lot of work for Jia Mu, and she will have to take care of her for at least three or four days when she comes back.I got the good news today, Mother Jia could not feel the weight of the crown at all, and she walked vigorously, more energetic than Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Youshi who followed behind.

After Jiamu and the others finished dressing, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen also changed into their court clothes.The female relatives rode in sedan chairs, the gentlemen rode horses, and Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and other juniors accompanied Jia Mu's sedan chair to serve, and the group happily entered the palace to express their gratitude.

This time when Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, the sudden favor came one after another.After the people of Ningrong and Rongfu had bowed their heads and thanked Concubine Xian, there was a little eunuch waiting at the door to spread the word, saying that the Empress Dowager was especially gracious and allowed the female family members of the two mansions to visit the Xiande Concubine in Fengzao Palace.

"Greetings to the empress." Since Jia Yuanchun entered the palace, it has been a few years since they saw each other. Although the mother and Mrs. Jia did not forget the etiquette, they were so excited that they knelt down and trembled.

"Please hurry up," Jia Yuanchun also had tears in his eyes. After so many years, he finally came out. Bar?"

"All good, all good." Mother Jia shook Yuan Chun's hand and kept nodding. "Although letters could be delivered in the past, I feel uneasy if I don't see anyone. Now that we see you, your mother and I can rest assured." gone."

"It's all about the grandeur of today. I still have a good news to tell the old lady. The queen mother and her old man mentioned to today that they want to grant concubines who are above the third rank to go home to visit their relatives. Originally, I regretted that I couldn't make it. Now I can go home and meet my father, Baoyu and the others."

"This... this, if this is true, it's a joy on top of happiness. Your brother Bao has been talking about you these days. You took him with you when you were young. There is no better relationship than your siblings," Mrs. Wang answered.

"I'm going to think about it today, but I guess it's eight or nine. Speaking of it, I also want Baoyu to be tight. Is he still so naughty?"

"He is more naughty than when he was a child, and he was often reprimanded by your father. Fortunately, Miss Lin from your Aunt Min's family is in charge of him now, so he can't get out of the sky anyway." Thinking of Jia Min, Jia's mother couldn't help feeling sad again.

"It's rare for the old lady to go to the palace. Don't talk about these sad things. I'll tell you something new." Yuan Chun was also sad about Jia Min's early death, and worried about Jia Mu's heartbreak, so he forced a smile, "Today Dafeng Empress Concubine, besides I have to be named Concubine Xiande, Concubine Liang, Concubine Shu, these concubines are also complete. There were originally only four concubines, but now there are three more. Due to the happy events in the palace one after another, this year's draft After discussing with the Holy Majesty, the empress decided to cancel it."

"The draft has been cancelled?" Mrs. Wang was a little surprised.

"That's right. It's said that flowers don't last a hundred days. They are drafted every year, and newcomers enter the palace in batches. Now they can delay for a year. I don't know how many people in this palace want to burn incense and worship Buddha to fulfill their vows. — Ma'am, what are you doing?" ?" Yuan Chun was talking, when she saw Mrs. Wang's expression was a little bit wrong.

"My lord, don't get me wrong, I don't know the suffering of the three thousand in the harem. It's just that Baochai from your aunt Xue's family came to Beijing last year to wait for the election and lived at home. Now that the draft is cancelled, what should I do with her?"

"As soon as you enter the palace, it's very disrespectful to say something. If you miss this time, it may be Sister Baochai's blessing." Yuan Chun's eyes were gloomy, and he sighed softly, "Aunt Xue's family is an imperial merchant, although Sister Bao can't marry a high-ranking prince However, there are many good families to choose from. If you really enter the palace, this day... will not be so easy."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "That's reasonable. I'll persuade you Aunt Xue when I go back. There's just one thing I want to refute, Madam. Baochai is honest and considerate, and I have Jinling Wang's family as the backer, let alone the Houfu Even if you enter the palace and become a concubine, you can do it."

Yuan Chun chuckled, "My sister from Aunt Xue's family, my wife naturally thinks what she wants. It's just that my wife forgot that even if the emperor has the word 'Huang', he is still a merchant after all, and he is separated from the Wang family. Don't say it." A serious relative would not marry a businessman, even if he managed to marry in, he would definitely be looked down upon by his in-laws. Why bother jumping into the fire pit for a delicate character like Sister Baochai."

"That depends on the family. If she marries into our Rongguo Mansion, I'll see who dares to bully her," Mrs. Wang said, stealing a glance at Mother Jia who was beside her.

Ever since Yuan Chun said that the draft was cancelled, a thought came to her mind.Baochai is fifteen this year, and has only one relative in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital.According to what Aunt Xue said in the past, their family did not intend to return to Jinling, since this place was unfamiliar, it would be difficult for Baochai to find a good family.

It just so happens that Baoyu has also reached the age where he can talk about marriage, so it's better to make more kisses.From these days, she could see that Jia's mother was worried that Baoyu would be suppressed if he married someone with a background in the family, so he would definitely choose among these relatives.Baochai was raised according to the mistress of the house, and she is more petty than Lin Daiyu.

Yuan Chun has been in the palace for these years, and his ability to observe words and expressions is naturally top-notch.He glanced at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang from the corner of his eyes, and changed the subject directly without answering Mrs. Wang's words at all.Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied, but unfortunately the location was wrong, and she had to hold back if she wanted to get angry.However, Yuan Chun's attitude did not dissuade Mrs. Wang. After returning home, she took off her makeup and went straight to Lixiangyuan where Aunt Xue was.

"Look, it's the other way around!" Jia Mu was so angry that she slammed the dragon's crutches, "She wants to change the Rongguo Mansion's surname to Wang, but one or two is not enough, and I have to marry Baoyu as well." King's!"

Unexplainably lying on the gun, Wang Xifeng didn't dare to make a sound, and secretly retreated behind Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing has always been a no-brainer, leaving all matters big and small to her daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng, she also lowered her head and did not speak.In the end, it was Youshi who smoothed things over and said to invite Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and the others came to discuss the matter of the provincial court before fooling around.

In the Ningrong Second Mansion, Jia Amnesty is sensual all day long, while Jia Zheng cares about others every day, enjoying the flattery of Qing guests, not to mention Jia Jing who is dedicated to seeking immortals and asking questions. The only one who really does practical things is Jia from Ningguo Mansion. Zhen and his son and Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion.Several people got together to study for a long time, but they all left the study room gloomy.

"What's the matter?" At dinner, Wang Xifeng stayed in her courtyard to eat because Jia Mu had just scolded Mrs. Wang. Seeing Jia Lian entering the door listlessly, she kicked off her boots and lay down on the bed. curious.

"Maybe you're tired." Ping'er put away the boots on the ground, and helped Jia Lian take off his outer shirt, "I'll rub it for the second master, and the second grandma will eat your food. If the food gets cold, it will hurt your stomach."

"Go, go, don't bother me!" Jia Lian threw Ping'er away.

"Hey, where did you get angry, and came back to vent your anger on our girls. What's wrong with you, Ping'er, who always screams and kills! Ping'er comes back, eat with me, don't worry about that heartless person."

"What do you women know! Wait a minute," Jia Lian's eyes lit up, "I went to Yangzhou to pick up Miss Lin, how much money did you get there?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked Ping'er to go out to guard the gate, "Is it because you shouted so loudly to let everyone know that we are greedy for money from the Lin family!"

"Grandma, it's all my fault." Jia Lian rolled over and jumped off the bed, and leaned towards Wang Xifeng with a playful smile, "Isn't this urgent for money? I said something wrong, and grandma hit me."

"Is it because you have no money to build the provincial house?" Wang Xifeng caught the crux of the matter after a little thought, "The money to build the provincial house is from the public, even if you have no money, you still have to go to the old lady, how can you plan your own private house like this?" Money?"

"I definitely want to mention it to the old lady, but you don't know the family background in the mansion. The cash is only 10,000+ taels, and the rest are antique calligraphy and paintings. If you want to take it out as a pawn, don't say if you can't sell it. The capital has to go crazy. I promise, within three days, anyone who sees you will ask if your Jia family is going to lose. I am not thinking that if you have cash here, you should take it out first. Then slowly sell some antiques. Within a year, I will return you the capital with interest."

"The old lady has good things in her hands, are you sure you want to get them?" Wang Xifeng was a little moved.

"I'm sure I won't say we have money here. First ask the old lady to get the things out and put them here, and then you can fill them in with the money in the house." Jia Lian rubbed Wang Xifeng's hand, "I knew that grandma must have money here. .”

"Actually, it's not much. Most of the Lin family's money was locked in a box by those two girls. I don't know where to hide it. What I can get is a drop in the bucket. You were not there at the time, and the things in the yard were sold. Tens of thousands of silver? There are a lot of antiques, but time is tight, and I haven’t sold much. Counting the savings in the past, I can scrape together 5 taels at most.”

"It's too little," Jia Lian knew that Wang Xifeng would not let go of this opportunity to make money, and continued to push, "Think about it again, where can I get more?"

"It's really gone. The tents outside were just released, and they can't be taken back at all. This matter..." Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, "I'm afraid we still have to start with the two girls of the Lin family."
