Sure enough, on the second day, Jia Yuanchun sent the eunuch Xia Shouzhong to the Jia Mansion and passed down an edict, naming Baochai and others to live in the Grand View Garden without restraint, and ordered Baoyu to still go in and study.
At this time, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were both at the Yamen, and it was Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng who went to receive the order.
After Xia Shouzhong left, the two went back to Ming Jiamu.
Jia Mu was so happy to see Baoyu that she only listened to what he wanted for this and that, and smiled and agreed again and again, without thinking about anything else.
Mrs. Wang saw it and felt very proud.
.
Although Yuanchun grew up with the old lady, now that Yuanchun has become a concubine in the palace, she and Mrs. Wang are mother and daughter.
Letting Baochai and Baoyu live in the Grand View Garden is a move that Mrs. Wang has been thinking about for a long time.
First of all, since Baoyu was born not long ago, he has been taken by the old lady to raise him, but Mrs. Wang, his own mother, can’t get involved!
I wonder what mother can tolerate this?
Not to mention that Baoyu is closer to the old lady than to Mrs. Wang, but every move of Baoyu, big and small, is decided by the old lady.
Especially after Jia Min died, the old lady sent people to the south again and again to pick up Jia Min's only daughter Lin Daiyu.
As soon as Daiyu arrived, the old lady immediately moved Sanchun from her yard to Li Wan's place, leaving only Baoyu and Daiyu to live with her.
Who can't see this?
The old lady is clearly determined to bring her most beloved grandson and her most beloved granddaughter into a pair.
Mrs. Wang knew that if Baoyu really married Daiyu, she would not be able to regain control of her son.
But the old lady is the "Old Star" in Jia's family and Mrs. Wang's immediate mother-in-law. Mrs. Wang has no choice at all.
Fortunately, her daughter Yuan Chun became the virtuous concubine, and Mrs. Wang finally had a savior!
.
Yesterday, while Yuanchun was talking about how he had nothing to do in the palace, he compiled the poems written by his brothers and sisters during the wedding ceremony that day into a book "Ode to the Grand View Garden" and said casually:
"The sisters in the family are all good at poetry and poetry, which is very good.
Baoyu's three poems are also very elegant, but they don't have much theme.
Ask him to write about the garden, and he will just write about how elegant it is to live in the garden. After all, he is still a child."
Mrs. Wang immediately said that since the imperial concubine's wedding ceremony ended, the Grand View Garden had been closed off and no one came in or out. Baoyu liked the beautiful scenery in the garden very much and always said it was a pity at home.
The two mothers discussed for a long time and decided that in order to prevent the Grand View Garden from being desolate, all the sisters should go to live in the garden. Baoyu grew up among the sisters since he was a child. He was no better than the other brothers, so he had to be ordered to live in the garden. p>
Don't let him in, lest he feel deserted by himself, not very happy for a while, and inevitably get sad and sick.
.
Now, the emperor's concubine has issued an edict, who dares not to listen?
The old lady did not dare to resist the decree and not allow Baochai Baoyu to move into the Grand View Garden.
Baoyu moved out of the old lady's yard, and naturally got out from under the old lady's nose. Mrs. Wang could naturally take back control of her son.
Daiyu also moved out of the old lady's yard, so naturally she lost the old lady's protection and had no one to support her. As a little girl, she could only be obedient.
He moved both of them out for "two outs".
Baochai was able to move from the remote courtyard of Jia's house to the Grand View Garden. From then on, it was easier to get close to Baoyu at all times, which was "one entry".
In this way, "two out and one in" are naturally the Wang family, and the Xue family has benefited.
Isn’t the ultimate goal in this all for Baoyu? For Mrs. Wang’s only support?
Of course, even though Baoyu is old, according to etiquette, he should live in a separate courtyard.
However, for the sake of the Wang family’s single-mindedness, many things have to be ignored.
For example, the reputation of unmarried girls.
Baochai will definitely marry Baoyu in the future anyway, and doesn't care about any reputation issues. Besides, it is a good thing that the imperial concubine has ordered her to live in the Grand View Garden.
As for Sanchun who lived together, it didn’t matter. They were able to live in the Grand View Garden because of Baochai’s blessing!
Yingchun and Tanchun are from the concubine, and Xichun is from Dongfu. Who cares who they can marry in the future?
It doesn't matter to Daiyu anymore, the old lady took it, huh, she deserves it.
This is the imperial concubine's decree. If you suffer a loss, you will only be considered unlucky.
.
But when Baoyu heard that he could live with his sisters and girls in the Grand View Garden, all he could think about was good things.
For example, the old lady was beyond the reach of the master. From then on, he spent every day playing piano and chess with the girls, painting and reciting poems, playing with grass and hairpins, guessing Chinese characters, and watching them draw eyebrows, paint Luan and thorn phoenixes, and everyone sat there.
Lying down without escaping, laughing unintentionally... The more Baoyu thought about it, the happier he became, and he happily wanted this and that in front of Jia Mu.
It's a pity that the edict didn't say that you don't have to go to the academy, which makes Baoyu deeply regretful.
Thinking back to the time when I didn’t have to go to school, I made out with Xi Ren at night, combed She Yue’s hair in the morning, joked with Qiu Wen at noon, took a bath with Bi Hen in the afternoon, went to Dongfu to listen to the opera, drank with Xue Pan, and turned on the lamp at night, and also
He went to see Daiyu, and when he returned to his room, Sister Bao was still waiting to talk to him.
If all these elegant actions took place in the elegant Grand View Garden, it would be the ultimate in elegance.
By the way, it would be better if Qin Zhong, the "elegant young gentleman", was still there.
Baoyu would rather go to school with Qin Zhong, and with Xiang Lian and Yu Ai, the four of them would wink back and forth, and it would be even more elegant and charming.
Alas - it's a pity that before Qin Zhong died, he said that he regretted not taking the imperial examination. He really didn't have such a blessing...
Suddenly, Mr. Bao, who had nothing to do, remembered that he should ask Daiyu where she wanted to live. He wondered if the courtyard she chose could be close to Yihongyuan, which he chose, so he excused himself to take a pee and got up to go out. In fact,
I want to go to Daiyu’s room to ask her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of Jia's mother's house, he saw Jia Huan peeking behind the rocks, smiling evilly and waving to him.

.
In normal times, Baoyu would not pay much attention to Jia Huan.
But because of the matter between Mingyan and Er and himself and Xiren, Baoyu had a handle on Jia Huan, so he had to ask the girls who were following him to go away, and he pretended to go behind the rocks to relieve himself.
When Jia Huan saw that Baoyu had come over obediently, he did not hide it and said directly:
"I heard that Brother Bao is moving into the Queen's Grand View Garden. I have nothing else but want to move in together."
Baoyu was shocked and quickly spread his hands to wonder:
"This is the decree given by the empress. Whoever is asked to move in is written in the decree, and it doesn't matter what I say."
Jia Huan held the precious jade and smiled:
"Brother Bao, don't fool me. My mother heard it even in the house.
When the eunuch came to deliver the order, the wife said that she would let Brother Bao enter the palace early tomorrow morning to thank him, and the eunuch nodded.
The empress loves Brother Bao the most. If Brother Bao opens his mouth for me, my matter will be settled.
I don’t want to pick a place, just give me a yard that is far away from the third sister and about the same size as the Yihong Courtyard that Brother Bao wants.
Then... Xiaoxiang Pavilion."
Baoyu stamped his feet and said:
"This...I don't dare to do this. If I give this to the old lady, my father and mother will know..."
Jia Huan rubbed his nose and smiled evilly:
"What are you afraid they will know?
Are they afraid that they will find out that Brother Bao’s book boy is visiting Brother Zhen’s house and will be marrying his girl by the way?
Or are they afraid that they will know that Brother Bao is hooking up with the old lady’s maid behind everyone’s back?
These two things are nothing to Brother Bao. The most serious thing is a beating. But for Mingyan and Xiren, humph, it's not a matter of a beating."
Baoyu is really reluctant to attack others.
After mumbling for a long time, I had to reluctantly agree.
