When Jia Zheng outside heard the edict from Jia Yuanchun, he did not dare to neglect and took Jia Baoyu into Jia Mu's main room. He did not dare to go in. He just knelt down outside the curtain and said: "Jia Zheng, please take your son Jia Zheng with you."
The precious jade will bring you a thousand years old."
Jia Yuanchun hurriedly ordered them to come inside for an audience, and Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu entered Jia's mother's room. After entering the room, Jia Zheng took Jia Baoyu and kowtowed to Jia Yuanchun again.
At this time, Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting on the table, said helplessly: "In a commoner's farmhouse, although there is salt and cloth, the whole family can always gather together and have family happiness! Although we are extremely wealthy now, our flesh and blood are separated. It is not interesting to think about it."
"
Jia Zheng knelt down and hurriedly persuaded him: "I am just a member of a poor family, but I can receive the emperor's grace. The auspicious phoenix flying out of the house is the essence of the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and the distant virtues of my ancestors are worthy of the empress.
Fortunately, you are blessed with the government and your wife. Your concubine must not worry about the government and his wife's dying years. I pray that you will cherish them more, but serve your Majesty diligently, cautiously and respectfully, so that you will live up to your Majesty's favor and kindness."
After listening to Jia Zheng's words, Jia Yuanchun was silent for a while. After a long while, he said: "Father, you must be careful not to cause trouble in state affairs, and you must take good care of yourself. My daughter is well in the palace, so don't worry too much.
"
Jia Zheng then said again: "All the inscriptions and couplets in the provincial villa are said by Baoyu. If there are one or two that can catch the eye of the empress, please nominate and leave a message. It is also an honor for me." After saying this,
Withdrew.
After Jia Zheng exited, Jia Yuanchun waved to Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu still recognized her sister and immediately came to her side. Then Jia Yuanchun took Jia Baoyu into his arms and looked around with a smile.
Said: "Our family's treasure has indeed grown."
After Jia Yuanchun said this, he touched Jia Baoyu's head and said, "You have grown much taller than when I left." At this point, he could no longer hold back, and his tears kept rolling down like pearls.
.
To be honest, Jia Yuanchun was the one who cared most about Jia Baoyu. She had taken care of Jia Baoyu since he was born. When Jia Baoyu first learned to speak, she was the one who called her "Mother" for the first time. Jia Yuanchun
He almost raised Jia Baoyu as his biological son. His affection for him was naturally unparalleled by others.
But when Jia Baoyu saw this sister, she felt close to her, so she stayed in Jia Yuanchun's arms and refused to get up.
Now I saw Jia Yuanchun crying, so I quickly wiped it with my sleeve and advised him: "Sister, don't be sad. Since the two Supreme Beings asked my sister to go home to visit relatives, I think it will be the same next year. We can see each other often in the future."
.”
When Jia Yuanchun heard that Jia Baoyu was able to comfort people, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You have indeed grown up. When I left, I only knew how to act like a baby in my arms. At that time, I was not allowed to get on the sedan anyway. Now it turns out that
I will comfort my sister."
Jia Baoyu still vaguely remembered the scene back then. At this time, his face was red with embarrassment, he lowered his head and refused to play again.
At this moment, Wang Xifeng came in and reported, "The banquet has been arranged. Please ask the Queen to move over."
So everyone, led by Jia Yuanchun, walked into the provincial villa. Along the way, Jia Yuanchun and everyone browsed the scenery in the garden. They saw all kinds of things listed in the lights. When entering the garden, they first started with "You Feng Lai Yi", "
"Red fragrant green jade", "Apricot curtain is in sight", "Hengzhi Qingfen" and other places, you can climb the tower and pavilion, wade through the water and edge the mountain, and have a wandering view. Every place is gorgeously decorated, and every pile of decorations is novel.
They came to the main hall of the provincial villa all the time. At the door of the main hall, Jia Yuanchun took Jia Mu's hand and said: "Old lady, this time is too extravagant and wasteful. You must not do this in the future. Otherwise, how will their family live in the future? There will be something like this again.
If you are luxurious, you may be criticized by others.”
Jia Mu listened on the sidelines and nodded repeatedly. She took note of the remarks and would never dare to be so extravagant in the future.
Then Jia Yuanchun led everyone into the main hall of the provincial villa. Jia Yuanchun was still sitting in the center of the hall. The first one was Jia Mu, accompanied by Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Sister Feng and others were holding soups and cups. Only Qin Keqing was the most unique.
, her status was of great importance, and naturally she could not step forward to serve Jia Yuanchun with wine and food, so she could only stand beside Mrs. Wang.
Jia Yuanchun saw her embarrassment and hurriedly ordered someone to take action and set up another seat for her.
Jia Yuanchun only asked everyone to perform a few etiquettes, then asked them to stop, and then set up a banquet for them in the palace, so Mrs. Wang and others also joined Jia Yuanchun to enjoy the banquet.
Jia Baoyu was the only male in the hall. At this time, he was sitting next to Jia Yuanchun, talking and laughing without any scruples. Lin Daiyu, who was sitting next to him, did not take it seriously and instead chatted and laughed with her.
Xue Baochai, who was not far away, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Jia Baoyu like this. It was indeed an embroidered pillow. He was a little proud and forgot about it.
Xue Baochai's appearance was clearly seen by Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting on the upper hand. At this time, Jia Yuanchun felt a little unhappy.
Although Jia Yuanchun was cautious in the palace, she had been named a noble concubine and was favored by the emperor. Over such a long time, she had developed an arrogance that no one else had.
Now Jia Yuanchun feels that she is the only one to make fun of others, and no one else can make fun of her. This Xue Baochai doesn't know the rules too much. Baoyu is still his brother no matter what. He dares to look down on him. It seems that his decision is still
Yes, if Xue Baochai marries Baoyu, Baoyu will have a difficult life in the future.
They were having a banquet in the palace, but Jia Ke and other men were not allowed to enter the palace, so they could only have a banquet in a wide place outside the palace.
So everyone began to drink happily, but among them, only Jia Zhu remained silent. Now he saw that Jia Baoyu was still in the palace. It can be seen that his sister Jia Yuanchun loves him. Thinking that Jia Yuanchun is now a noble concubine, for
Some things in the Jia family can also be talked about. I can't help but worry about the status of the Jia family in the future.
When Jia Ke saw Jia Zhu's appearance, he asked from the side: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Brother Yu Wei, let me tell you, I don't believe there are things in the world that we can't solve
." Jia Ke also drank a few more drinks, and now he is showing a bit of madness, and his eyes are not as soft as usual. Now his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and the light he emits stings people's eyes.
Jia Zhu often met Jia Ke, but she had never seen this side of Jia Ke. At this time, Jia Ke was completely different from usual. The aura on his body made him breathless.
Jia Zhu originally thought that Jia Ke was just a martial artist, and she still looked down upon Jia Ke in her heart. Now she realized that Jia Ke had always concealed his aura. Now this person is Jia Ke in a true sense.
Jia Zhu felt a head of white sweat break out on her head, and unconsciously said what she was thinking: "Brother, Baoyu hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he is having a banquet with the empress in the palace? This is probably against the rules."
Jia Ke looked at him and smiled, pointed at Jia Zhu with the chopsticks in his hand and said, "You, you have the same problem as those literati. You always leave half of what you say."
Then he said to him: "Your Majesty's feelings for Baoyu are naturally different from others. If you want to fight with Baoyu in front of your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no hope."
Jia Ke has seen Jia Zhu's worries. With Jia Ke's rise, Rongguo Mansion is now at its peak, and Jia Ke will naturally not compete for any property from Rongguo Mansion. And Jia Zhu has used Dr. Zhang's body in recent years.
After taking the medicine, although he is still weak and has no great hope, if he takes the medicine according to Dr. Zhang's instructions, he can still survive for many years. In addition, he now also has a son, Jia Lan, so now he is very interested in the position of the heir to the Rongguo Mansion.
He became even more anxious. But Jia Ke had no room to speak about this matter. The final destination of Rongguo Mansion depended on the wishes of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
While their brothers were chatting, suddenly a eunuch came out holding a roll of paper. He came to Jia Zheng's side and said, "Master Zheng, according to the decree of the empress, the name of the provincial villa and the main palace has been given."
Jia Zheng quickly took it with both hands, and Jia Ke also came over at this time. Jia Zheng gently opened it and looked up. He saw three words written on it: Grand View Garden. Then there was a couplet: Heaven and earth are merciful, pure and innocent.
I feel the same sincerity; the past and the present are celebrated, and the nine states and all nations are blessed with grace and glory.
The following are two short poems written by Jia Yuanchun: It takes mountains and rivers to build a building, and it takes a lot of time to build it. There are all kinds of scenery in the sky and the world, and the garden should be named "Grand View".
After seeing it, Jia Zheng quickly ordered someone to make a plaque according to the handwriting on the paper.
There are still some skilled craftsmen left in the Rongguo Mansion. These people are all experts selected from all over the world. After receiving the name and couplet given by Jia Yuanchun, they immediately started making using the best wood available in the manor.
When everyone was halfway through the banquet, Jia Yuanchun's place was ready for the show to start. After a while, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the silk and bamboo were melodious.
Jia Ke and everyone were eating wine and listening to the opera, which was very pleasant. Jia Ke had been in the world of Dream of Red Mansions for many years. At first, he was not interested in these chattering interests. But as time went by, here
Since I didn’t have much entertainment, I gradually fell in love with opera. So now I watch these operas with gusto.
But Jia Zhu kept frowning during the dinner. After all, Jia Ke and Jia Zhu had been classmates for several years, and they still had some feelings for each other, much deeper than Jia Baoyu. Looking at him frowning, he thought he was still worried about what happened to Jia Baoyu just now.
Angry, he comforted him and said: "Second brother, don't worry. Since ancient times, seniority has been organized in an orderly manner. Baoyu can't take your lead no matter what. I think my father is an upright gentleman and will never do anything like abolishing elders and establishing younger ones."
things."
Jia Zhu saw that Jia Ke had misunderstood and hurriedly explained: "Brother, what did you say? I frowned not because of Baoyu's matter, but after listening to the plays ordered by the empress, I felt unhappy and that's why I frowned."
Jia Ke, a local, did not understand the routines in these plays clearly. So he quickly asked: "Second brother, is there something wrong with this play?"
Jia Zhu's face was a little ugly, but she still answered Jia Ke: "Maybe I'm overly concerned about it. "The Banquet", "Begging for Skills", "Immortal Fate" and "Leaving Soul". Although they are all popular plays nowadays, but this time they appear
It’s not very auspicious, and I’m afraid it would be a little bad to perform these plays on this special day.”
