Chapter 797 Looking at the Lantern Festival and Asking for a Monthly Ticket
Chapter 797 Lantern Festival Lantern Festival (please vote for me)
It’s the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye!
Naturally, Ningfu Girls' School had a day off to allow the students to celebrate the holiday with their families.
Unexpectedly, during lunch, Xichun suddenly asked Jia Rong and Qin Keqing to go out to watch the lanterns together in the evening.
Qin Keqing was naturally happy and looked at Jia Rong with her wonderful eyes.
Before Jia Rong could speak, Xichun hummed: "Not only me, but also sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and sister Daiyu will participate!"
"Where are the other female students?"
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Are you planning to do group activities?"
"Other students did not participate!"
Xichun said directly: "Not only will my sisters come, but also Brother Huan, Brother Cong and Brother Yu will also participate!"
"Where's Baoyu? With his temperament, he won't miss such excitement!"
Jia Rong asked: "Isn't there any elder who will come forward?"
"No!"
Xichun said helplessly: "Uncle Pardon is unwilling to move, Uncle Zheng has his own activities!"
"Second brother Lian and sister-in-law Feng don't want to move either. After several rounds, I have to ask you to come forward as a guard!"
"Second Brother Bao naturally wants to be together. How could he miss such an opportunity?"
"In this case, I can only agree!"
Jia Rong didn't mind the trouble and agreed directly.
In my heart, I was quite disdainful of Master Pardon and Master Zheng.
For example, watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival is a good time to get close to the children, but they don't want to participate at all.
As for Lian Er, he is probably afraid of taking responsibility and is also a slippery man.
Speaking of which, women in this era were also pitiful, especially those from wealthy families, who rarely had the opportunity to go out.
In order to survive, women from civilian families must show their faces outside.
But for noble ladies from official families like Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, they really can't go out without leaving the door.
Opportunities to go out include visiting relatives and special holidays.
But the problem is that the elders of Ning Rong's second house are not cooperative, so don't count on special festivals like Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
As for visiting relatives, it's just going from one closed courtyard to another, nothing unusual.
After all, the concept of dignity in imperial society was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the residences of officials and dignitaries were strictly regulated.
The emperor did not dare to play any tricks at his feet, so the backyards of most officials' houses were almost the same, and the differences were either big or small.
Seeing Jia Rong's promise, Xichun immediately beamed with joy.
"You can go to the Xifu later and talk to the old lady so that she can rest assured that the safety of the lantern viewing will be arranged by the Ningfu!"
Since he agreed to be a bodyguard for a time, Jia Rong naturally wouldn't do it half-heartedly.
Sanchun and Lin Daiyu are both noble ladies, Jia Huan, Jia Cong and Jia Baoyu are all little brats, so naturally they must be protected.
You know, there will definitely be huge crowds of people watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
Among them, there are also those who are sneaky and fishy in troubled waters. The most hateful ones are the philanderers and kidnappers. Every year, many human tragedies occur during the festival.
In addition, outsiders cannot be allowed to collide with Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and other young ladies.
In short, it is definitely not an easy task to go out to watch the lanterns smoothly and comprehensively.
Fortunately, the security force in Ning Mansion is strong enough, and when the trial is no longer needed, manpower can be temporarily transferred from outside.
After lunch, Qin Keqing took Xichun to Rong Mansion to talk about watching the lanterns.
In addition, the Ning Mansion also sent a steward to the Lin family to explain the situation.
When the manager came back, he found out that Jia Min had been summoned by the old lady and was going to spend the night of the Lantern Festival at Rongqing Hall, so he was very relieved to leave his children to the protection of the Ning Mansion.
When it got dark, Sanchun, Lin Daiyu, and a few little carrot heads didn't have time to enjoy dinner, so they hurriedly gathered in Ning Mansion.
All of them had excited expressions on their faces.
Although Sanchun and Lin Daiyu are both young, they already have some of the charm they will have in the future. After studying in a women's school for more than half a year, they both have an air of elegance about them.
As for Jia Huan and Jia Cong, they were full of excitement but a little timid.
The clothes on his body were all new and not old, and it was obvious that he was living a relatively ordinary life.
Jia Huan was more confident, and Jia Cong was very self-conscious. Neither of the two little guys dared to get in front of Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, but they did have the idea to hug each other for warmth.
Xiao Linyu was very popular with the Sanchun sisters, not to mention Lin Daiyu, which made Jia Baoyu jealous.
Jia Rong sat aside and found it interesting to watch these guys.
It's a pity that Shi Hou didn't release anyone, otherwise if Shi Xiangyun also appeared here, it would be even more lively.
Qin Keqing was very caring and like a big sister. She took good care of the little people. She served snacks and gave advice to Sanchun and Lin Daiyu on things to pay attention to after they went out. She was very busy.
Jia Baoyu insisted on getting in front of Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, but unfortunately he was not well received.
After going to girls' school, even though they are all relatives at a young age, the girls are still a little cautious about the relationship between men and women.
As long as they are not under the nose of the old lady of Rongqingtang, they are basically unwilling to get too close to Baoyu.
There is nothing you can do with the old lady, but here in Ning Mansion, they will not spoil Jia Baoyu.
Besides, Jia Baoyu didn't like going to school, which made Sanchun and Lin Daiyu look down on her. Outside the Rong Mansion, it wasn't just what Phoenix Egg said.
The ancients summarized the most popular masculine characteristics among women, that is, Pan Lu, Deng Xiaoxian, in fact, if you look carefully, Jia Baoyu and Yangyang have them all.
It was precisely because of this that he mingled among the girls, so he was not hated or ostracized. He just wanted to be as popular as in the story of the Red Mansion, but it was impossible.
Seeing that the sky is getting darker, it's almost time.
Seeing that the phoenix egg kept moving towards Qin Keqing, Jia Rong naturally wouldn't think that he was just a child and was indifferent.
He lifted the boy up and, amid his dissatisfied cries, he laughed and mounted his horse, throwing the phoenix egg that was struggling in his hand to the guard next to him.
Qin Keqing took the girls into two exquisite carriages at the back, while Lin Yu's little friend was held tightly in Lin Daiyu's arms.
As for the two brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong, as well as Phoenix Egg, who was clamoring to be with Sister Lin, they took the last carriage.
Around the carriage were eight tall and round female guards, all of whom were unmarried women selected from the families in Zhuangzi and trained in martial arts and guarding.
On the outside, there are a total of eighteen infantry and cavalry joint guards. They are all trained and capable experts within the Ning Mansion. They are very capable in close combat and guarding. They will have no problem following Jia Rong to fight their way out in special situations.
