[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

The Chinese New Year is coming, and the Supreme Emperor has returned with the Eastern Empress Dowager and Gui Taifei.

To be honest, getting together every year during the Chinese New Year is a torture for everyone.

The emperor did not want to see the Taishanghuang, and the Taishanghuang was also unhappy when he saw the emperor.

But during the Chinese New Year, when the officials pay homage, the Taishanghuang, as a mascot, is seated higher than the emperor, and he should be placed in front of the emperor during the whole process of shouting long live.

This is also his only chance to openly face his officials.

If you don't catch him, the old man will never forgive himself.

So after the Supreme Emperor returned to the palace, Linlin had to bite the bullet and follow behind the emperor to say hello.

The Supreme Emperor acted as if he hadn't seen the emperor, and blamed Linlin with his mouth, "You too, why didn't you let the crown prince go to the West Garden to visit me? You are so unfilial, you don't even go to greet each other in winter, are you looking forward to it?" I froze to death in the West Garden, so you can collect my body."

"Father, please forgive me. After the winter, my son fell ill twice. The crown prince and all the princes and princesses are serving in the Ganlu Palace..."

Before Linlin finished speaking, the emperor gave her a hand by the side, and said, "Didn't you say that the old man said that the child of the fifth brother's family is your grandson, and the children and nephews of other brothers' families are not counted?" Your grandson. Since it's not your grandson, why are you going to pay your respects?"

The imperial concubine interjected, "The emperor cares too much about this. The last time the emperor said this, he was angry. It was also out of intention. As the emperor's son, can he still care about this with me?"

Linlin stopped the emperor from speaking, "What are you fussing about with an old woman? Whose family man did you see arguing with an old aunt?"

These words made the imperial concubine very angry.The Supreme Emperor stretched out his hand to hold the Concubine Gui, "Don't worry about the younger generation, the Empress has always been unforgiving in her lips, and she has been like this since she was a child, and it's not like you don't know it."

Linlin pretended not to hear, "Father is also back now, and my son's illness is also healed. After a while, the prince and the others will come to greet you. By the way, those big mangoes that the local tribute paid for the sons and daughters are eating. The taste is not bad, I sent someone to send it to Xiyuan, have you tasted it?"

The Supreme Emperor nodded, "It's okay, it's okay. It's better to have fresh fruits inside in winter. By the way, I'll have someone make some vegetables and bring them up later. It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are big fish and meat everywhere, and it's not refreshing to eat vegetables. "

"This time, in addition to the good fruits from the south, there are also some seafood presented from the east. The officials in the east said that there is a dish of sea cucumber with fried shallots that tastes good. I haven't tasted it yet. Wait for this dish to be served later. You give reviews and reviews."

The Supreme Emperor nodded, "What else should I offer together."

Just as he was saying this, the eunuch outside reported that the prince had arrived with the second, third, and fourth princes.

Several princes first knelt down to pay their respects, the Supreme Emperor rewarded some things and left the prince alone, and the Supreme Emperor called the prince to speak.

First, what books have you read recently?He also asked what he usually eats and plays, and seeing Qilin's generous answer, with a clean and upright posture, he untied a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist happily.

One half of the Taishanghuang's body was a little numb, and his hands were shaking violently on weekdays. He took Qilin's hand and shook the prayer beads for him.

"Good boy."

Then she said to Linlin, "You haven't seen the former prince, and you don't know the demeanor of the former prince, but when I look at Qilin, he looks a bit like him."

After Qilin thanked the reward, he withdrew with his parents.

The emperor couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth on the road, "That old man does have some vision, our son really has the demeanor of his elder brother back then."

After the family of three left, the Eastern Empress Dowager took her leave and went back to her own palace. The noble concubine cried to the Supreme Emperor.

"The couple dare to deal with me like this now, and they don't know what will happen in the future. If the heavens have mercy on me and let my concubine walk in front of you, maybe a whole body will be left behind."

"Don't worry, I've already figured out a way out for you. When the time comes, you will live with the fifth child, and I will give you another imperial decree to see what they can do to you.

Don't cry too, did you see the prince just now, I look at this appearance and this manner is a bit better than his uncle. "

After the noble concubine heard this, she felt very sour, "Doesn't this mean that you have a successor? Such a good child was reincarnated into the stomachs of the two of them. The concubine also wanted such a grandson. I didn't expect Let others take the lead."

The Supreme Emperor smiled slightly, and patted the white and tender hand of the Concubine Gui with a trembling hand.

"I haven't finished my words yet. What kind of uncle is this kid? If he had been more ruthless back then, he would have put me to death. Just wait and see, this kid is more capable than his father. At that time, his father and son would kill each other... Hmph, he, Cui Shang, might not be as good as me. I can still live on, but he might not even have the chance to live on."

The Concubine Gui opened her eyes and smiled, "Really? The concubine looks like a yellow-haired child?"

"You don't understand, he is different from Huang Maoer. I have seen countless people in my life, and I will not miss my children and grandchildren."

The imperial concubine flattered her a few words, and after she settled down, she privately sent someone to invite Jia Yuanchun over.

Jia Yuanchun is really grateful to the Concubine Gui, and in fact clearly understands that the big tree of the Concubine Gui may not be reliable, but she has been in a dead end in the palace recently, and at this time she urgently wants to find someone Help yourself break this deadlock.

It's better to compare it with a tiger's skin and fire, and to use a more accurate adjective to describe it, it should be drinking poison to quench thirst.

But she couldn't take care of that much anymore, she tidied up and took someone to see the noble concubine.

Just after saying a few words, Concubine Gui cut to a topic that Jia Yuanchun was most concerned about at the moment.

How can I have a son.

The noble concubine spoke out all the secrets of her back then.

From what to eat and what to use in daily life, from how to take care of yourself to praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, the noble concubine can be said to teach with all her heart.

Jia Yuanchun listened carefully, then came the most critical question.

The Taoist school said that a lonely yin does not give birth and a lonely yang does not grow.How can a prince be born without an emperor and concubine?

It's just that Jia Yuanchun didn't want to speak out about his embarrassment, the imperial concubine just thought that Jia Yuanchun would not please the emperor, and didn't know that there was no difference between Fengzao Palace and Leng Palace.

Then, he passed on to Jia Yuanchun his experience of competing for favor for so many years.

"There is a saying you have to remember, don't look at the status of the queen and the prince, but they will fall if you push them down. As for how to push them down, it depends on whether you have the ability. You have to see if you hit a snake and hit 7 inches Where is the queen's 7 inches? I'm done talking here, and I'm tired today, so go back and think about it."

It can be said that Jia Yuanchun withdrew with great gratitude, and as soon as he left the dowager's bedroom, he met the Empress Dowager Xi and several princesses to pay her respects to the Supreme Emperor.

The Empress Dowager had a particularly bad impression of Jia Yuanchun, because the relationship between the Jia family and the Concubine Gui was extremely close.Especially when Jia Yuanchun became a noble concubine and caused the emperor and the empress to have a quarrel... After all these things were added up, the Empress Dowager frowned subconsciously when she saw Jia Yuanchun.

"Meet the Empress Dowager"

The Empress Dowager Xi walked past Jia Yuanchun with a few granddaughters without saying a word.

Jia Yuanchun felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to show his aggrieved emotions, and quickly left the emperor's bedroom.

The Empress Dowager Xi took the princesses to meet the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor smiled and asked their grandparents to sit down, looking at Princess Shouchun who was sitting aside, "Our eldest princess is also a big girl, let's take your sister and the others out to play, I have something to tell your grandmother."

After the princesses all retreated, the Supreme Emperor asked the Empress Dowager, "I didn't ask the emperor just now, but now that Shouchun is getting older, what are their plans?"

"This... the concubine didn't know, so I turned around and asked my daughter-in-law..."

"No need, I see that Baoyu of the Zhen family is a good boy, marry your granddaughter back to the Zhen family, and enjoy endless wealth in the future, if you want to go and talk to the emperor, he will still listen to what you say. "

The Empress Dowager Xi knew that her son hated the Zhen family so much that she gritted her teeth, if she married her precious daughter into their family... If she brought up this question by herself, there would definitely be troubles between mother and son.

"The emperor has never heard what the concubine said in the past few years... The concubine dare not tell the emperor."

The Supreme Emperor had a stern face, "Doesn't he listen to what your mother said? It's fine if he doesn't show filial piety to me, even your mother doesn't respect me..."

The Empress Dowager quickly defended the emperor, "The emperor is filial. It's not that he is disrespectful to his concubines. It's just that the concubines don't have much knowledge. They don't dare to intervene in family or state affairs, and they don't dare to say this."

"Then why are you staying in the palace? Kaichun and I will go to the West Garden."

The Empress Dowager Xi did not dare to object, and after returning to her bedroom, she quickly brought Linlin over.

"The Supreme Emperor wants to promise our longevity to the Zhen family, and let the emperor know. Isn't it another dispute? What do you think should be done?"

"Of course it's time to quickly find a good husband for our good boy. Speaking of which, it's not too early for our princess to find someone else. When the time comes to choose a son-in-law, it's said that the dowry will be difficult to get together in a short time. Let's keep it for a few more years." That's it."

"You're right, who do you think is the right young gentleman outside?"

"I have to let the emperor know about this matter. My daughter-in-law is a woman who has never met his little man a few times, so how can she say so easily?"

How could marrying a princess bypass the emperor?The Empress Dowager Xi also knew this truth, "The two of you go back and discuss it carefully, and also ask Concubine Dong, she has only one daughter, so she should ask him more or less what he thinks."

"Don't worry, you must ask Concubine Dong what she means."

After hearing the news that Linlin brought him, the emperor described it as being furious, which was not wrong at all.

"My daughter, I can marry her to whoever I want. Don't listen to the old man talking nonsense. It's not a good thing to betroth our girl in a hurry. Don't worry, if I can't protect you anymore Do you girls still have the face to stand in front of you?"

"You can't say that, you just want to marry her, and you have to marry someone she is willing to marry."

"I know, I know, don't worry, you can go back and talk to Concubine Dong, and let her stop thinking wildly, and don't show her feet in front of our daughter."

"I remember."

After the first and second day of the Lunar New Year, it will be the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

The naked eyes can see that the concubines in each palace are all beaming.

On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Linlin first went to pay her respects to the Supreme Emperor and the two empress dowagers.

When she arrived in front of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager told her, "Go early and come back early, the three brothers are still waiting for you at home."

Linlin agreed, changed her clothes, sat in Fengyu and swaggered all the way out of the imperial city.

The common people in the capital know that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the day when the concubines of the various palaces leave their natal homes.He had been waiting outside Miyagi for a long time.

The queen's guard of honor has already left the Royal Street, but some of the back legs have not been sent out in the palace city.

Those who are close will kneel down, and those who are far away will watch from a distance, "This is the style of the main palace."

Someone else said, "It took several generations of the Lin family to raise such a person who is respected by the mother, which shows that the foundation is solid."

……

Just after eating in the morning, Jia Min took her daughter and daughter-in-law to the door after changing clothes to greet her.It was windy and cold outside, Lin Ruhai wrapped himself in a thick cloak, seeing his wife and children blushing from the cold, and asked the three of them to go back first, "Go back and wait, you haven't left the palace yet, wait After a while, you will come out when you reach the entrance of the alley."

He took his two sons and waited at the intersection.

The queen's guard of honor left the imperial city, and every family began to move.

The population of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion all changed their clothes and lined up waiting to be picked up.

Jia Zhen was still talking, "Our mother is a noble concubine. After the empress comes out, it will be our mother's turn. She must have boarded the sedan chair by now."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

No matter how long and grand the queen's honor guard is, it will come to an end. It only took half an hour, and Linlin has already arrived at the door of the house.

The eunuchs went to help Lin Ruhai and his son, and the maids went to help Jia Min, Xinyun and Lin Daiyu.

The middle door of Lin's house was opened wide, music was loudly played, and Feng Yu was carried to the house.

At this moment, no matter whether it is the queen's guard of honor or the soldiers guarding the street, they have all entered the Lin family.

The road ban was lifted, and several streets around Lin's house have started to pass.

The news reached Rongguo Mansion.

"Old lady, Housekeeper Lai just sent someone to say that the Empress has arrived at Lin's house and the road ban has been lifted, and people have already started passing in front of their house."

"It's time for our empress to come out."

"Yes, yes, it must be time to come out. After our mother comes out, you will be the concubines and nobles."

Linlin got off Fengyu, Huang Si supported her hand, and looked at the gate of the provincial hospital together.

Lin Ruhai invited Linlin to name the garden.

Linlin couldn't laugh or cry and said to Lin Ruhai, "Don't you know how much your daughter weighs? You and my brothers and sisters are all educated people. Why don't you come up with a name that is suitable for people to remember?" It’s better to have a name if the monument is placed at the door.”

After speaking, the gate was opened, and a group of people entered through the gate, and they could see the sparkling lake in front of them at a glance.

"Good water, is it living water?"

Lin Hao replied, "It's running water, brought in from outside."

"Adding a circle of railings around it is not beautiful, but it is safer with railings, and no one will accidentally fall into the lake."

Lin Hao agreed, adding the railings would be a matter of tomorrow, and a group of people accompanied Linlin from one side of the lake to the two-story building on the opposite side of the lake.

Once you enter this building, the inside is full of scenes of prosperity, whether it is the materials used inside, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, or the furniture placed on the floor, they are all good things.

Linlin sat down in the middle, and the members of the Lin family bowed again and were helped up again.Only Lin Jiao kowtowed because he was young and it was the first time he met Linlin.

"Good brother, come to my sister." Linlin grabbed the little brother's chubby hands and looked them up and down for a while, then touched his Baotou with her hand.

"He's a handsome kid. I heard from my mother that you want to learn how to ride a horse?"

"Back to elder sister, she wants to learn how to ride a horse. Does elder sister want to reward younger brother with a horse?"

Linlin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed a few times, "Little clever ghost, you have already said that, if my sister doesn't reward you, you will be sad.

I can reward you, but I can only reward you with a pony. First of all, you are young, and when you grow up, the good horse will become an old horse, so it is better to reward you with a pony.You raise him up, and when you grow up, he will grow up too, because when he grows up together, he knows your thoughts better. This is the so-called good horse understands human nature. "

Lin Jiao beamed with excitement, "Thank you big sister."

"Don't thank me first, I'll tell you the ugly words first, although this horse was rewarded to you, but when you can ride it is up to your father, if he doesn't agree, you can't ride this horse of."

Lin Jiao looked at Lin Ruhai who was sitting beside him in embarrassment, "Thank you big sister, brother will remember."

Linlin still remembered that Lin Hao's father-in-law's family didn't leave home, so she asked, "Is the Xin family here?"

Xin Yun quickly looked up at her husband, and Lin Hao replied, "The Xin family has no job, so I can't see him."

"They are all serious relatives, so you don't need to pay attention to this vain etiquette. Quickly invite the old lady in-law to come in."

The maids behind Linlin hurriedly prepared a lot of greetings, and set up a screen in the middle of the hall, and the grandparents of the Xin family came in to see the greetings.

Linlin was extremely polite, and she was awarded a generous reward.The members of the Xin family resigned together with Lin Ruhai and his son.

Linlin is going to change clothes.

Jia Min stayed behind with his daughter-in-law and daughter, and said a few words with Linlin.

When it comes to changing clothes, it's just a change of the outer robe, and a few pieces of jewelry on the head are removed.

"The clothes are good-looking, but they are too cumbersome to wear. They are not as comfortable as those homely soft robes. My sister will see if these jewelry look good. If they look good, I will give them to you."

Lin Daiyu was amused by her and snorted, "Sure enough, I still have this temperament. I thought you would be more stable when you become a mother. It can be seen that the saying that nature is hard to change is correct."

Linlin was a little surprised, "Why haven't I seen my sister speak so sharply in a few years, tell me quickly, where did my soft and delicate sister go?"

The women in the room all laughed, and Jia Min said to his daughter-in-law, "Don't look like your sisters don't like to talk, but they are actually the ones who like to play the most. After a long time, you will know."

Linlin wasn't joking just now, she also brought a lot of things with her when she went back to her natal home this time to reward her.

Ask the maids to bring the box over, and divide the gift with the family members first, and then someone outside will invite you to the banquet.

Jia Min led the way with his daughter-in-law, and Lin Daiyu's sister walked behind.

Lin Daiyu whispered to her sister, "It's all a family banquet. The cook at home made a lot of favorite food for my sister, but our cook has changed twice, and I don't know what they cook. My sister loves it." Do you like it or not?"

"Why aren't those cooks used in the past?"

"It's not that I don't need it, it's just that I use less of it. My mother and my brothers and sisters like to eat heavy food, and my father likes to eat it, because my mother also worried about this matter, and said that the family has two tastes. "Then she quietly lay next to Linlin's ear, "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to like spicy and spicy food... there are three flavors."

Looking back, Jia Min saw her two daughters biting their ears, and couldn't help but feel comforted in her heart.

I can only walk a little slower, and let the two sisters talk for a while.

Because Lin Daiyu is a boudoir girl, her troubles are only small things in life.

"...My brother is always mischievous. My brother found two kittens for me. He insisted on leaving one, but he refused to raise it when he wanted to go back. He sent it back to me, saying that he wanted me to raise it for him... ..."

Linlin persuaded, "He is still young, even Bai Ze is envious of Qilin's having this and that every day. If it is really given to him, he will forget it after playing with it for two days."

No matter how slow he walked, he walked into the hall after a while.

There are two tables, one for women and one for men.

Linlin was worried that there would be a pre-dinner performance—she was afraid that Lin Ruhai would arrange for her brothers and sisters to perform a poem, so she said first, "Let's eat first, and if there is anything that needs to be appreciated, we will talk about it after dinner."

She thought that her knowledge of poetry was only limited to being able to rhyme. If she asked herself if these poems were well done... Linlin covered her face in her heart—whatever, let’s wait until I’m full.

The Lin family has already started eating, and the whole Jia family is still waiting outside the door.

At this time, everyone didn't even have the energy to speak.These pampered grandmas and wives usually sit and stand motionless all morning, which is really embarrassing for them.

The servants in the family galloped to the gate of the palace to check, watching the gate close from a distance, wondering when the eldest lady would come out.

Not only the Rongguo Mansion, but other families are also waiting.At noon, Concubine Dong's carriage left the imperial city.

The members of the Dong family prepared happily, while the faces of the Jia family were pale.

Jia Amnesty Jia Zheng first asked the old lady to take the female relatives home, some sent people to inquire, and then gave money to the eunuchs who came in the morning to find out how the empress made arrangements.

These eunuchs only said a few important words after taking the money. "It's still early, I guess it should be almost night."

Jia Zheng was relieved a lot, and sent someone to talk to the old lady at home. The old lady had a lot of thoughts in her heart, but on this happy day, she could only bury all her thoughts in her heart.

Mrs. Wang said a few words to the old lady in private about this matter, "Then who is Concubine Dong, how can she be ranked ahead of our empress."

The old lady scolded her, "Don't talk too much over there, the Dong family...or else it's the father-in-law's family now, and it's justified that Concubine Dong has a higher status than the others."

Mrs. Wang murmured in her heart, "The Dong family is blind too, and now they might be regretting something."

Sure enough, as Linlin expected, the whole family sat around and composed poems after dinner.

Linlin "..."

How much knowledge does your daughter have, don't you have any points in your heart?

At this moment, Linlin wondered whether this family feast was just for herself.

In this family, only Jia Min and Lin Lin and Lin Jiao are less educated.Because Lin Jiao is still young, he still has a lot of room for learning in the future, so he doesn't feel inferior.

Jia Min looked at her husband and children proudly at this moment, and felt that their knowledge meant that the whole family was knowledgeable, so she didn't feel inferior.

Only Linlin thinks that she will soon become illiterate in this life, so don't be hypocritical.

After I figured it out, I didn't feel inferior at all, but looked at everyone happily.

The whole afternoon was spent on eating, drinking and even writing poems.Before he knew it, the sun had already set, and Man Tuen'er came in from the outside, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back."

The happy time always flies by so fast, Lin Ruhai raised his sleeve and wiped his tears. "My lady, go back quickly."

Linlin nodded, first shook Jia Min's hand, then shook the hands of her younger sister and sister-in-law.

Finally, he asked his two younger brothers, "Concentrate on your goals, honor your parents, love your brothers and sisters, and educate your children and grandchildren."

The two brothers listened, and finally bid farewell to Lin Ruhai. "Take care, old man. As long as you are well, my heart will be at ease."

"Remember, the old minister, the empress must also educate the prince carefully, and be cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays."

Linlin thought that at this time, she would also squeeze out two tears to respond to the occasion, but her tear glands were not developed, so she said goodbye to them with a smile, and boarded Fengyu by herself, and the street was closed again outside, and a group of people returned to the palace ostentatiously like when they came .

Zou Wu in the Empress Dowager's Palace burst into tears when he saw his mother.

The Empress Dowager was so disturbed, "I've been looking for you since noon and I've been looking for you now. At the beginning, I could coax him to say that you were busy, but I'll come later, but now I can't coax him and insist on going out. If you If I come back a little later, I don’t know what else he can do.”

"Thanks for your hard work, mother."

After picking up Zou Wu and going back to Ganlu Hall, I heard the news from the stewards at all levels who stayed in the palace on the way.

Most of the famous concubines in the palace have gone out, and many people are waiting in line at the gate of the palace.

Another person said to Linlin, "Concubine Jia's guard of honor is out...do you want this guard of honor to go out?"

"Let the guard of honor go out. The imperial concubine and concubine have called for so long, so it's nothing to give him a guard of honor. Where's the emperor?"

"I'm taking the crown prince and the second highness to study in the imperial study."

"Send someone to tell their father and son that today is the holiday, and the princes and daughters in the palace will have dinner in the Ganlu Hall, let them come back early, and let people bring all the prepared palace lanterns to hang up, when the time comes Give your highness a point."

The emperor came back very quickly, and asked Linlin as soon as he entered the door, "How are you doing today?"

"Don't mention it. I am naturally happy to see my parents and brothers. It is the father-in-law... His old man asked everyone to write poems. You also know that I don't have a few taels of ink in my stomach. At that time, I wished I could bring someone back immediately. You don't know me When I came back, my whole body jumped with joy, and I thought in my heart that I don’t have to match pairs anymore.”

The emperor looked at the two brothers, Bai Zeqilin and his younger brother, playing at the door, and he was proud, "You know what's going on at home, you can do whatever you want at home, how can you live comfortably at home when you go back to your mother's house."

Linlin was holding him on the side, "The emperor is right."

"So I don't plan to let you go back next year."

Looking at Linlin's face after finishing speaking, Linlin naturally didn't care, "If I don't go back, I won't go back. If you visit relatives, you should stay away. Far smells and near stinks." Anyway, I can often see my mother's family.

"That's the truth."

"I look at my younger sister who is now slim and handsome. Today, my mother wanted to talk to me in private again and again. I still know what she is thinking. What she thinks in her heart is that my brother is married, and the next thing is It's my sister's turn. It's just..."

"Just what? Are you worried that your sister won't be able to get married? No, I met your sister when she was young, and I can trust your family's tutor. If it weren't for the fact that my younger brothers have already married princesses, I would like to marry you." So that the fat and water don't flow into other people's fields, such a good girl will have a good home in our family."

"Our family... It's not that I speak badly. None of you brothers can be called a good home. From the second brother's side to the eighteenth brothers below, all of them are philandering carrots. If When my sister gets married, she must marry someone who will be a couple forever."

After listening, the emperor looked at Linlin as if watching a western scene, "You are dreaming."

Linlin opened her mouth to argue with him, but a few children's voices came from outside the hall, and the other princesses and princes had already arrived.Linlin had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, and put on a very kind expression, waiting for the princes and daughters to come to pay their respects.

It was at this time that Jia Yuanchun's sedan chair left the palace gate, and it was already dark outside.

The old and the young in Rongguo Mansion waited for a day, no matter how excited and proud they were, they were gone by this time.

Hearing that the sedan chair left the palace gate, the whole family changed their clothes and stood outside the gate.

After waiting for more than half an hour, no one came over. They had sent people along the road to inquire, only to find out that Concubine Dong had returned to the palace and met the carriage frame of Concubine Gui on the road. Both sides had to give way, which took some time.

Mrs. Wang was angry and sad, "She is a concubine, why should our mother give way to her."

The old lady didn't make a sound, Wang Xifeng hurriedly persuaded, "Our mother is virtuous and courteous, didn't our servants also say later, then Concubine Dong dared not be presumptuous, and waited for our mother to pass before moving the frame. "

Mrs. Wang snorted and shut up.I thought that Feng girl was divorced from me after all.

After a while, the carriage of the imperial concubine arrived.

They didn't stop at the gate, and went directly to Rongguo Mansion, and the whole family excused Jia Zheng from the old lady and Mrs. Wang's wife, Mrs. Xing.

In Rongguo Mansion, when close relatives meet each other, it is inevitable to hug each other and cry.

After crying, I changed my clothes and officially started to visit the garden at the gate of the other courtyard.

Now that the weather is cold, the Rongguo Mansion bought a lot of silk and satin, cut them into leaves and flowers, and stuck them to the trees.The candles set off the whole garden like daylight.

Seeing such a rich and noble scene, Jia Yuanchun himself was a little proud, but thinking of his recent situation in the palace, he couldn't help explaining to his family, "Teaching Baoyu and Lan'er with all your heart, the imperial examination is the right way."

The people in the family passed this word to Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty, and the two brothers accepted the order respectfully.

Boarding the boat to visit the garden, what he saw along the way was extremely rich. Jia Yuanchun couldn't help telling the old lady on the boat, "Such extravagance is not the way to manage a family. From now on, everything will be thrifty."

The old lady Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement.

When he arrived at the main hall, Jia Yuanchun first met his grandmother, parents and sisters, because they were all his own family, and remembering his experience in the palace, he couldn't help weeping in front of them.

For a while, everyone in the room was crying, crying miserably.Jia Yuanchun held back his tears first, "Send me to that place where I can't see people that day, and I never imagined that we can meet again today. Now that we meet, I can't say a few words, but cry to each other. What's the point?" After laughing Then he asked Aunt Xue and Baochai why they didn't see each other.

Xue's mother and daughter had been waiting outside.

The girl from the Jia family stood with Xue Baochai, making Xue Baochai superior to others.

Jia Yuanchun praised this cousin again and again, and said to the old lady, "Baochai is somewhat better than my sisters."

At this time, Mrs. Wang wanted to tell Jia Yuanchun that she liked Baochai and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, and she was concerned that the old lady was here, so she had to swallow this topic to herself.

All of a sudden, banquets started outside, and the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion moved outside.

After Zhanmo tables and chairs were set up for the stage, someone brought up the list of plays. Jia Yuanchun picked out a few plays, and then gave the list to the old lady.

A few people gave way for a while, telling the little actors below to get ready for their outfits. When the gongs and drums sounded, the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Jia Yuanchun's good mood has reached its peak at this time.All the unsatisfactory things in the palace have long been forgotten, and the feeling of being admired by the crowd at home is just fascinating.

It's like when the bright moon is in the sky at this time, and you are in a prosperous and rich township, leaving only the sound of silk and bamboo babbling, which makes people feel indescribably proud and comfortable.

The small plays on the stage were played one after another, and before the eunuch had watched enough, the eunuch came over, "Your Majesty, it's time, it's time to go back to the palace."

Jia Yuanchun woke up suddenly from such complacency and comfort, and her tears flowed unconsciously due to the sorrow of parting and the confusion about her future life.

The people in Rongguo Mansion were even more at a loss. The family was busy for half a year and spent countless gold and silver to build such an extremely rich garden. The empress only stayed here for a while...

Jia Yuanchun sat still on his seat, the eunuch said again, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back. The empress and all the empresses in the palaces are on their way back."

The members of Jia's family suddenly felt unbearable grief, but they did not dare to cry out.

"That's all, let's go back." Jia Yuanchun boarded the sedan chair under the service of the eunuch and maid, looked back at the rest of the Jia family, and got into the sedan chair cruelly.I thought in my heart that I must stand out, so as to live up to the ardor of these people in my family.

Following the yelling of the etiquette eunuch, the guard of honor moved slowly, and a eunuch pulled a person from the team of maids and pushed him to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"The servants in the palace are all selected from the common people, and those with unknown origins are not allowed to enter the palace. Please take care of this female family member of your mansion. If she is allowed to sneak into the palace, it will harm the miscellaneous families."

Jia Lian changed his mind, pulled the eunuch's sleeve, and stuffed a little silver into it. "Elder-in-law, for your convenience, our mother has no one to talk to in the palace, so this girl is sent in to talk to her."

"My lord, you don't want to take the avenue to the sky, but you have to take these narrow paths. If you can squeeze a person into the palace like this, the palace will already be overcrowded. Even if she can pass our family's level, she will be overcrowded. She can't get in at the gate of the palace either."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Until the guard of honor could no longer see the tail, the old lady said in a very tired voice, "Let's all go back, let's have a rest tomorrow, and we will pack up other things the day after tomorrow."

Afterwards, what was discussed in the capital was the topic of the concubine's visit this time.For the natal families of all empresses, receiving the empress once is more difficult than fighting a tough battle.

Because of the cold weather and getting up early, and after worrying for so long, Lin Ruhai fell ill.

Several famous imperial physicians from the imperial hospital came very quickly. After reading it, they came out and said to Lin Hao, "The problems caused by the change of seasons are nothing serious. Just drink two bowls of medicine and it will be fine."

The old lady of Jia's family is also sick, besides coughing, she also has some fever.Wang Xifeng thought she could be lazy for a few days, but now she couldn't even be lazy, so she sent someone for the imperial physician and watched the medicine boiled, because Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were exhausted, and Jia Lan was also sick.The matter of serving the old lady fell to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng returned to the house exhausted, and Ping'er quickly followed her. "But I'm back, if I don't come back, our foolish master will make a fuss."

Wang Xifeng entered the bedroom and saw Jia Lian lying
