Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Chapter 40 Pray for the Kirin

See Avalokitesvara ordered the whole family to pray for blessings and get marriages for children of the Qilin family

There are three young masters in Xianfu Palace, but there is not a single empress.However, all three are noble people, so if you want to compare yourself and find someone who can call the shots, it's a matter of opinion.

Even though Jia Xiande tried his best, he couldn't get past any of them.

There are also concubines from the Yonghe Palace outside, watching with stinging eyes.Concubine Yi died of illness shortly after entering the palace, and Concubine Hui was demoted three years later, and Concubine Jia became the first and only concubine in the harem, counting down from the queen, under Xian Guifei and Chun Concubine !In addition, she gave birth to her fourth elder brother last year, so there is a faint meaning of being a concubine in it.The cost of food and clothing in the Yonghe Palace has long been compared to that of a concubine!

Looking at the nobles in other palaces, Mrs. Hai has been lazy and has a poor appetite since early summer. Ask a little maid to inquire about it.Chen Changzai, who followed in Qiandi, became a nobleman in the second year.There is also a nobleman Bai who has just entered the palace, who is just short of spoiling the harem!

Thinking about it this way, Jia Guiren felt that life was becoming more and more difficult.

Not to mention that in this Xianfu palace, Mr. Huigui was originally an old man in the hidden mansion, and he had a title, so he couldn't compare his face to others.Although I am the same as the Gao family, I was demoted from the position of concubine, but it is because of my birth.

If she was a maid in the palace before and became a concubine in the palace later, if she is favored, it will be better, or if she goes all the way to the top, then it will be too late for others to curry favor!Those who have fallen out of favor, or who have been demoted like themselves, must speak sarcasticly.

Therefore, in this Xianfu palace, the noble Hui is respected, the noble Zhen can barely be said to be the new favorite, and the noble Jia...isn't that "the lowly maid who seduced the master and deceived the favor, how could she?" Knowing that the emperor is wise, seeing through the tricks, he was demoted from the throne and fell out of favor, and left behind" the unlucky ghost!

If it wasn't for Jia Xiande who wanted to be strong himself, insisted on fighting for everything, and took out his identity as a master and severely admonished a few servants, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, he still doesn't know how to live this day!

"My lord, there is news from the Tai Hospital that the nobleman of Zhongcui Palace has arrived." Jia Xiande answered with the maid who brought into the palace from home holding the piano.

Jia Guiren sighed and stood up: "Let's go. I'm afraid all the concubines in the palace are going to Zhongcui Palace, we have to go and see too. They live in the East Sixth Palace, so there will be those who don't make a sound. After all, she is lucky!"

Jia Xiande went early.

There were quite a few people in the palace who guessed that Mrs. Hai was pregnant, and even more people put their eyes on the imperial hospital.

It's just that the old people in the palace are more calm, and the new favorites hope that they are pregnant before it's too late, and they can only grit their teeth when they get the news, and they will never rush to congratulate.

In this way, Mrs. Hai can only look at the two nobles Zhen and Jia in front of him, repeat the "true and false" jokes in the palace in his heart, and secretly hold back the laughter.

"Sister Hai is overjoyed!" Zhen Heng smiled and congratulated.

"Sister Zhen, please take a seat." Hai Guiren knew that he should not stand for a long time, so he hurriedly gave up his seat first. "Sister Jia sits too. I'm so tired that I can't sit down if you're standing. If you have anything to say about yourself, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Jia Xiande couldn't help but secretly hated again, why didn't he have a title!

Mrs. Hui was demoted from the position of concubine, but she was not deprived of her title.If you are called by someone who is wise and noble, otherwise you are a noble person...it is not much better!Jia Xiande thought angrily.If I hadn't called Feng Concubine Le dizzy that day, and took advantage of the holy favor to ask for a title...whether it is a virtuous concubine or a virtuous concubine, she would be able to suppress Huigui, and sit on Xianfu in a serious manner The lord is here!

"Blessed is Sister Hai after all! None of us can compare!" Jia Xiande complimented with a smile.

"Where am I so lucky!" The nobleman Hai smiled, his whole face was flushed with joy, "Look, sister!" The nobleman Hai pulled Zhen and Jia around the back hall, "This is the first brother in my family. Please send me Guanyin! It’s really effective! Do you want to ask my mother to invite another one to give to my sister in a few days?"

"No need." Jia Xiande said with a stiff smile.She dare not take the Son-Send Guanyin sent by the concubines in the palace! "In our family, there are more people in Qingxu Temple. It's okay to pass on a word later, and have a few days of funeral for the three of us."

Zhen Heng hurriedly said: "I only look at God's will, I don't ask for this. But Sister Hai is pregnant, so it would be best to have a few days of safe offerings!"

"Hehe." Hai Guiren gritted his teeth, "Then thank you sister!"

Now that this talk has been released, even if it is just a pretense, it must be hard to find fault.

It happened to be the time to appreciate the Dragon Boat Festival, and in the name of praying for blessings, I asked the eunuch Jia to send a message, ordering Jia's family to go to Qingxu Temple for a three-day safe offering.Although he verbally said that he would give 120 taels of silver, he only gave Jia Dakong 20 taels and asked him to hide it by himself.

How can entrust eunuchs to do things without spending money?

Jia Mansion?It's too late to send money to the palace, so why would Mrs. Jia have the time to send money outside?

On the first day of May, there was a line of carriages and horses lined up in front of Jia's mansion.And Jia Mu was too old to ride a carriage, so she only asked for a small sedan chair.Because of their status, there can only be two people carrying it, and it looks worse than others.

Baochai didn't want to go because she had her own plans.However, Mrs. Wang took a fancy to the word "family" and urged Aunt Wang to persuade her to go.Aunt Wang didn't say much, she just rummaged out the etiquette rewarded by Jia Guiren.In order not to lose the reputation of being ungrateful and not to offend Jia Guiren, Baochai had to go even if she tried to make Jia's mother despise her more and more.

Before going to the Qingxu Temple, only the sound of bells and drums can be heard.Because there are often incense and tributes in Jia's mansion, Taoist priests hold incense and cloaks in person, and lead a group of disciples to greet them by the roadside.

After entering the mountain gate, Mother Jia stopped the sedan chair, and waited for the mandarin ducks to catch up from behind with great difficulty. Then, supported by the mandarin ducks, she got off the sedan chair and walked forward slowly.

Sister Feng held Jia Quan in her arms, but after walking a few steps, she excused herself to be tired and fell behind.

"You, you didn't listen when I told you to bring your nanny, and insisted on holding it by yourself. I said earlier that Quan'er is growing up, and every day gets heavier, and you are delicate and precious, how can you hug her?" Move!" Mrs. Xing hurriedly covered her.

"My daughter-in-law knows what it means to not listen to the old man's words, and you will suffer in front of your eyes!" Wang Xifeng laughed.

"Hey, be careful not to drop him!" Mrs. Xing said, slowing down, "Let me hug him for a while!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell at the end, but they were happy and at ease.

After a while, the three daughters Ying, Tan and Xi also came together, teasing Jia Quan and chatting with Sister Feng about the previous matter.

Let's say that Mother Jia took all the people to pay homage and play layer by layer.As soon as he entered the mountain gate on the second floor, Taoist Zhang came to greet him.

This Taoist priest was the substitute of the Duke of Rongguo Mansion that day.Rong Guogong was weak when he was young, and after being instructed by an expert, he found a substitute and practiced in Qingxu Temple, and then he gradually improved.Therefore, even Jia's mother had to show some respect when she met Taoist Zhang.

"Immeasurable Life Buddha! The old ancestors have always lived in good health? They never had time to come to the mansion to pay their respects. The old lady's complexion is good!" Zhang Taoist greeted with a smile after reciting.

"Hello, old fairy!" Mother Jia said hastily.

Taoist Zhang said with a smile: "May the old lady have a long life, and Xiaodao is still healthy. Forget about anything else, just remember my brother. Is he always in good health?"

Jia's mother said: "He is good on the outside, but weak on the inside. Last year he was hit by evil, but he couldn't make it through. After a while, he got better, and he used his father to force him to study, but he almost didn't drive a child out of illness. coming!"

Taoist Zhang said with a chuckle: "I have heard from old Taoists that young people are weak and evil spirits are close to them, so they are often sick. But when you get married, the happy event will be a blessing! I saw a young lady in a house the day before yesterday. I'm 16 years old this year, and she looks good. I think it's time for my brother to find a relative. As far as this young lady is concerned, she is smart, intelligent, and well-off, so she is worthy. But I don't know how the old lady is. Xiaodao didn’t dare to make mistakes. Only after asking the old lady’s instructions, did he dare to tell others!”

Mother Jia thought to herself, isn't 16 the age of Baochai?Thinking about the red musk beads bestowed by Jia Guiren, and it was Jia Guiren who ordered the whole family to have a funeral... It was not Yuan Chun, but also the idea of ​​the second family!

Jia Mu said with a smile: "The old god is bothering. Baoyu...he shouldn't marry early."

Jia's mother and all the people played around in the temple for a while before going upstairs to sit down.It just so happened that Jia Zhen went back and forth at this time: "God has got the show."

Jia Mu asked, "How much discount?"

"The first book is "White Snake Tactics", which is the first story of Han Gaozu's killing of snakes."

"It's good not to forget the original." Mother Jia sighed.

"The second book is "Wat on the Bed", which tells the story of Guo Ziyi's [-]th birthday, when his seven sons and eight sons-in-law came to celebrate his birthday, and the bedside was filled with wat boards."

"It's very auspicious! Only if it comes out last, it will be called consummation!"

"The third book is "Nan Ke Meng". It tells the story of Chun Yufen, a ranger in Dongping in the Tang Dynasty, who dreams of entering the Ant Country of Huai'an, going through ups and downs, and finally becoming a Buddha."

Baoyu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Very good! I like his sentence the most. There are no roots in the corners of the eyes. Dreams kill people. Long dreams don't last long. Short dreams have no inscriptions. People in Nanke are like ants in the world."

Then Jia Mu asked Jia Zhen to order someone to sing.

While listening, suddenly a little Taoist came up with a plate of things.

"This is a magic weapon that our teachers and brothers in Guanzhong preached. They are all willing to give it as a gift of congratulations. If the real person tells it, I don't care about it. I just keep it in the room to play and reward people."

Jia Mu knew that Taoist Zhang was here to make amends, so she looked carefully, and saw that there were also gold huang and jade rings, or everything went well, or every year was safe.All are jewels pierced through treasures, jade carved and gold carved.There are thirty or fifty pieces in total.

Then he laughed and said, "I thank you for Baoyu."

Baoyu asked Xiren to bring the plates, and she picked them around Jiamu.

In a daze, Mother Jia saw a golden unicorn with emerald greens, so she picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"I seem to have seen this thing before!" Baoyu said happily.

Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Shi has one, which is smaller than this one. Take it, and it will be a good pair with hers!"

When Baoyu heard that Shi Xiangyun had this thing, he quickly picked up the unicorn and put it in his arms, saying to Jiamu: "Old ancestor! Baoyu hasn't seen sister Yun for a long time! After returning home, he sent someone to pick it up." She comes to live!"

Jia Mu glanced at Baochai, "Well, what are you talking about seducing him!" Then she said to Baoyu, "Xiangyun's uncle and aunt won't let her go, so I shouldn't snatch her away either! She still has to go back to the historian's house in a few days, so she should be wronged again!"

"Then just live in our house forever!" Baoyu said cheerfully.
