Chapter 233 Concubine

Chapter 233 Imperial Concubine

Author: My little carp

Chapter 233 Imperial Concubine

Jia Mansion, New Courtyard.

Antiques and antiques are fully furnished everywhere; birds such as cranes, peacocks, deer, rabbits, chickens, geese, etc. have all been purchased and raised in various places in the garden;

Jia Qiang also performed twenty miscellaneous plays; the little nun and the Taoist nun also learned to recite several volumes of sutras and mantras.

After the inspection, Jia Zheng and Jia She suddenly felt that they were open-minded and invited Jia Mu and others into the garden. They carefully considered the decorations and scenery everywhere until everyone felt that nothing was missing or inappropriate.

Soon, Jia Zheng spent three days and wrote thousands of words of memorial. Then he chose a good day and asked the first-class general Jia She to present the memorial, asking the imperial concubine to return home.

On the day when the memorial was presented to the imperial study, I heard that after seeing the memorial, the emperor's body trembled slightly and his mood was excited. He was obviously impressed by Jia She's literary talents.

Soon Zhu approved the memorial: on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year, on the day of the Yuan Dynasty, Concubine Jia was granted permission to visit the bride.

After the Jia family received this imperial edict, they had no time to make relevant preparations day and night, and they never had a good year.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, Lin Daiyu came over and finished the meal with eight bowls of rice.

The Lantern Festival was approaching, and on the eighth day of the first lunar month, eunuchs came out to take the Jia family up and down to look around: where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to retire to rest.

They also inspected the local prime minister and guarded the eunuchs, etc. They led many young eunuchs out, guarded and blocked the curtains everywhere, and instructed the people in the house where to retreat, where to kneel, where to eat, and where to announce things.

All rituals are different and complex.

Outside there were officials from the Ministry of Industry and troops from five cities, cleaning the streets and chasing away idlers.

Jia She also ordered the housekeeper to personally supervise the craftsmen in setting up some lanterns, fireworks, etc. It was not until the 14th that everything was ready.

That night, everyone in the Jia family did not sleep well, including Lin Daiyu.

I don’t know if the bed was changed, but Lele snored extremely loudly tonight. Even if she used a secret method to turn off her hearing, it didn’t work.

She was reluctant to put Lele in another room, so she simply endured it. Anyway, for her, even if she didn't sleep all night, she would be a little bit more tempered at most.

Not a big problem.

On the 15th, Wugu (three o'clock in the morning), Jia Mu and other ladies, as long as they have nobility, dress up according to their grade and wear customized clothes.

Everywhere in the garden, dragons dance on the tents, colorful phoenixes fly on the curtains, gold and silver shine, jewels compete for glory, the incense of lilies is burned in cauldrons, and the pistils of evergreen are planted in bottles.

With the crowd gathered around, it was quiet and no one coughed. All the streets and alleys were blocked by curtains.

The body of a noble concubine is forbidden to be seen by ordinary people.

Everyone was waiting impatiently when suddenly, a eunuch came on a big horse.

Jia Mu hurriedly brought the eunuch in front of him, gave him gifts and money, and asked him for news.

The eunuch said: "It's early! We had dinner at the first quarter of the day, went to Baoling Palace to worship Buddha at the second quarter of the first quarter, and went to the Daming Palace to have a banquet and look at the lanterns at the first quarter of the month before asking for orders. I'm afraid I didn't get up until Xuchu."

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They had been waiting so early in the morning, but they didn't come until late at night. This show was worthy of royalty.

She was called out early in the morning. One person and one cat were shaking and yawning. After hearing this, Lin Daiyu suddenly became unhappy.

Isn’t this uncle the emperor a tormenter?

But these are the rules of the Tian family. She has seen too much while traveling around the world of mortals.

Sometimes I have to admit that people in this world are divided into two types of people, the upper class and the lower class.

The greatest wealth of the upper class is not gold and silver houses, beautiful attendants, or titles of power, but ordinary people.

As for these rules, they are the source and essence of the interests of the upper class. Those who break the rules will not be forgiven.

"Yawn, grandma, I'll go back and fall asleep first." Lin Daiyu said directly.

"Okay, okay, my precious granddaughter is tired. When the time is almost up, I will send someone to call you!" the old lady said with a kind face.

Logically speaking, the old lady should talk about sleeping, but it didn't matter to Lin Daiyu.

Because there is another rule above wisdom: power!

Fists are power, and rules are just a simple curtain for her, which she can tear up whenever she wants.

Tanchun, Jia Baoyu and others were envious when they saw Lin Daiyu going back to sleep.

"grandmother?"

"Huh?" Jia Zheng questioned, interrupting Jia Baoyu's words, with a cold look in his eyes.

The meaning is obvious. If Baoyu is confused again today, let him see what a father's love is like.

"Grandma, please go back to your room. Although you are in good health, you will be tired if you stay for a long time. My grandson will keep an eye on you and call you when the time comes." Jia Baoyu changed the topic and said smartly.

Tan Chun, Xue Baochai:.

Why are you so filial today?

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and went back to rest.

Although no one said it, her body knew that she had no more than two years to live. But she still tried hard to hold on, hoping to hold on until the day when Baoyu, the unicorn, could bring the Jia family to glory again.

The moon was bright and there were few stars, and the Jia family also brought in candles one by one and lit them everywhere.

After a while, Jia's virtuous concubine arrived with the ceremonial guard Fengyu, the dragon flag, the phoenix, and the pheasant feather Kui head.

Jia Mu and others looked at each other, and even felt a little dissatisfied. Why did Yuanchun's noble concubine have such a huge difference from the one she wore when Jia Min returned last time?

However, everyone had respect for the royal family and refrained from speaking out.

The eunuchs and other eunuchs dispersed as they entered the palace, and only Zhaorong, Caibin and others led the Yuanchun family. All kinds of lanterns in the courtyard were burning brightly, all tied with gauze and silk, which were very exquisite. There was a plaque on it with the words "Ti Ren Mu"

The four words "virtue".

In Yuanchun, when I changed my clothes, entered the hospital, and boarded the boat, the area around the clear stream looked like a swimming dragon. On the stone railings on both sides, there were crystal glass wind lanterns of various colors, which lit up like silver and snow waves.

Although the willow and apricot trees on the bank have no flowers and leaves, they are made of grass silk and silk paper to look like leaves and glued to the branches. Several lanterns are hung on each tree.

According to the rules, the imperial concubine was not allowed to get close to anyone, but no palace maid dared to stop Lin Daiyu, so one person and one cat stepped forward and shouted happily.

"Sister Yuanchun."

"Meow~"

Are you my thirty-second backup shoveler?

Yuanchun touched Sister Lin's little head and petted the cat twice, but didn't take it seriously.

Although the palace is closed, it is well-informed inside.

The last nobleman Wang who wanted to bully Sister Lin because he saw that she was uncomfortable was personally ordered by His Majesty to be thrown into the cold palace. Now the grass on his grave is already three feet high.

Nowadays, these palace maids and chamberlains naturally turn a blind eye. They are all the daughter's family anyway, so what can they lose even if they bathe together?

They only have a few thousand dollars a month in salary, so why are they working so hard!

Approaching the inner bank, Yuanchun got off the boat and got on the sedan, and saw the graceful Lin Palace and the majestic Guidian Palace. The four words "celestial treasure land" are clearly visible on the stone archway.

Yuanchun was busy changing his life to a "provincial villa".

In the past two years in the palace, under the care of Granny Chen, what she has learned is two words: caution!

Entering the palace, you will see the courtyard is ablaze, the ground is covered with incense, there are trees and flowers, golden windows and jade sills.

Yuanchun sighed: "It's really inappropriate to be so extravagant."

No one answered.

If it's not so luxurious, wouldn't it mean that I'm not giving you face? If I'm not giving you face, wouldn't it be that I'm not giving the Holy Master face?

If you don't give honor to the Holy One, what's the difference between that and dying where you are?

In the main hall, while Yuan Chun was sitting at the main seat, Lin Daiyu sat aside holding the little yellow cat, and solemn music sounded on both sides of the room.

The ceremonial eunuch entered the palace and knelt down to ask whether the Jia family would be allowed to come in to worship and sit down respectfully.

Yuan Chun nodded, and the virtuous palace lady Zhaorong in the hall said to the eunuch: "Xuan!"

"Yes!" The etiquette eunuch stood up, bowed his head and stepped back, without even looking up the whole time until he went out.

The ceremonial eunuch invited Jia to pardon, and Jia and Zheng stood waiting under the platform. Zhaorong, the leader of the palace, said: "Excuse me."

The eunuch led Jia She and others to withdraw.

Another eunuch led the Rongguo Taijun and his female family members from the east steps to the platform to stand and wait. Zhaorong said again: "No need."

So retired.

After tea for three rounds, Concubine Jia got up and stopped happily. She retreated into the side hall to change clothes, then got into the prepared provincial car and drove out of the garden.

Soon, when they arrived at Jia Mu's main room and wanted to perform family rituals, Jia Mu and others were so frightened that they all knelt down to stop her from doing the rituals.

Concubine Xian De's eyes were full of tears, and then she gave up. She stepped forward and supported Jia Mu with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other. The three of them had many things in their hearts, but they couldn't say them out, so they just sobbed and sobbed.

Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, the three sisters Ying, Tan and Xi were all surrounding, weeping and speechless.

When you are in the royal family, it is best not to say too much. If you don't say anything, you won't go wrong.

After that, Yuanchun talked to his father, uncle and others through the screen again, and Yuanchun's tears almost never stopped.

Palace, I’m so tired!

"Aunt Xue, why is Baochai missing?" Yuan Chun asked.

Mrs. Wang respectfully replied: "My family has no job, so I don't dare to trespass."

After hearing this, Concubine Jia busily ordered her maid to go outside to invite her.

Suddenly, Aunt Xue and others came in and wanted to kneel down and worship, but she was also excused.

A group of women started chatting again.

Xue Baochai stood aside and looked at Lin Daiyu, who was leisurely feeding the little yellow cat snacks in her seat the whole time, but hesitated to speak.

We are all daughters of the four major families, and we are also close friends. Why is there such a big gap?

Is it because I don’t have the nickname of Bloody Hand Butcher? Do you want to learn martial arts from Sister Lin?

Soon, Mrs. You, Sister Feng and others came up and said: "The banquet is ready, please come and have a good time."

In Yuanchun, he got up and walked with everyone to the gate of the new garden. There were lights and trees, climbing towers and pavilions, and wading through rivers and mountains.

The imperial concubine took a moment to look at the surrounding scene, feeling very emotional.

When we enter the banquet, Jia Mu and others are accompanying us.

After the banquet, the imperial concubine was invited to inscribe an inscription for the new courtyard, which was named Grand View Garden.

Then Yuanchun began to assess the knowledge of his younger brothers and sisters, and ordered them to write inscriptions and poems for various courtyards in the garden.

Only then did Lin Daiyu become interested.

She thought that she would show off her talents tonight and overwhelm everyone, and then let Lele look at her with admiration. Then she would wash her feet and let her lick Lele's fur!

After a while, all the girls turned in the poems they had mentioned. Yuan Chun read them, and finally took out the poems Xue Baochai had mentioned, and praised: "After all, Sister Xue's works are different, and none other than Sister Fool can be compared with her."

Ninghui Zhongrui, plaque, Xue Baochai

The fragrant garden was built towards the west of the imperial city, and the sun and auspicious clouds shrouded it strangely.

Gaoliu is happy to move the orioles out of the valley, waiting for the phoenix to come when they are repairing bamboo.

The style of writing has been established. Chen traveled to the evening, and Xiao Hua Ying Long returned to the province.

Ruizao Xiancai is full of colorful pens. I am so ashamed that I dare to say goodbye again.

After reading this poem, Yuan Chun looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile: "Where's Sister Lin's? Tonight I can let my sister see what it means to have poems and books and beautiful articles in my belly."

Tanchun and other girls are also looking forward to it, otherwise wouldn't the Jia family be suppressed by the Xue family?

Lin Daiyu closed her eyes, thought for a moment, stretched out her hand, and said in a sweet voice: "Here comes the paper."

Tanchun handed over a piece of rice paper, spread it out on the table, and held it down with a paperweight.

"Here comes the pen."

Yingchun handed me a lake pen.

"Mo Lai!"

Yuanchun stepped forward to polish the ink himself, becoming even more curious.

Holding the pen and soaking it in ink, Lin Daiyu's strokes flowed down like clouds and smoke.

Yesterday the flowers bloomed all over the tree, today the flowers have fallen from thousands of branches.

A hundred years of great and prosperous events pass by like a dream.

After reading word by word, all the girls were silent.

Instead of speaking the words on the paper, the writing is like a dragon and a snake, vast and elegant, observing its strength without losing it, and showing its posture without exaggerating.

This poem has a lofty artistic conception and makes people reflect on themselves.

Although none of them are literary masters, they can all confirm that this poem will definitely become famous all over the world.

After reading it, Yuanchun felt even more peaceful and deeply comprehended.

You may have experienced many big and small things in this life. But in the end, when you reach the end of your life, you will find that all of it is just a passing cloud, just like a dream, just like yesterday.

As soon as this poem came out, I suddenly felt that what the rest of the people were doing was like white water, and at most they were just moaning without illness.

Only Jia Baoyu handed over five poems in a row from outside. He thought that his literary talent was extremely vulgar, so Yuanchun had to send someone to send a message: "The writing is good."

Outside the screen, Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu were both overjoyed.

After that, they listened to the opera and gave rewards to show the emperor's favor.

At three o'clock in the morning (two o'clock in the morning), the eunuch came in and sent a message: "Concubine Jia, the time has come. Please drive back to Luan."

After hearing this, Yuanchun couldn't help but burst into tears again. However, he managed to smile and held Mrs. Jia's and Mrs. Wang's hands tightly, not wanting to let them go.

Lin Daiyu frowned. If she went back now, wouldn't it delay her from continuing to compose poems and surpass all others?

Didn't notice that Lele was looking at him with wide eyes just now, obviously impressed by his talent!

Seemingly noticing Lin Daiyu's expression, the eunuch was heartbroken and quickly continued: "If Concubine Jia wants to play for a while, that's fine.

However, it was too late and the palace gate had been sealed. County Master Lin still needed to show his token to unlock the gate.

Of course, with County Master Lin as her companion, Concubine Jia can come back during the day. As long as County Master Lin and the Queen talk it over, Manager Chen will not blame the minions."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present, including Xue Baochai, Jia Mu and others, were shocked.

I thought that Yuanchun became a noble concubine, and the Jia family was already a relative of the emperor, with a transcendent status. Now I discovered that there is a bigger giant crocodile in this small mansion.

With such preferential treatment, why does the Holy Father favor the little girl of the Lin family so much? It is simply unbelievable.

Yuan Chun was also stunned, and then took a good look at Sister Lin, and then noticed the indifference in her eyes, and she was focused on patting the belly of the little yellow cat in her arms to help her fall asleep.

It seems that nothing can bother her, and power and wealth are not as important as the kitten in her arms.

This boy is different from the ordinary!

After thinking for a while, Yuanchun ordered: "Sister Lin and I will go back after a few words. You can get ready!"

The eunuch quickly said respectfully: "Yes!"

Then turn around and retreat.

In the palace, no matter how much you hate, dislike, or despise a person, you must follow the rules and etiquette.

"Sister Lin, would you like to go out with me for a walk?" Yuan Chun stood up with a smile, walked to Lin Daiyu, stretched out his hand, and invited.

Lin Daiyu was stunned, grabbed her sister's hand and squeezed it. It was white and tender, the kind Lele liked to lick.

"Sure as you wish."

When Yuanchun and the eunuchs and maids left, the pressure disappeared and the room suddenly became lively again. But everyone was curious about what the imperial concubine and Sister Lin talked about before leaving.

But no one dared to inquire about royal matters.
