Volume Five, Chapter 124, Save Your Relatives (Part 1)
When Feng Ziying arrived at Jia Mansion, it was already Xu Shi.
He didn't have much interest in coming to see Jia Yuanchun, and was even a little resistant to it, but since they had come to give instructions, it wouldn't be a good idea not to go.
Unless it is an imperial edict or the Queen Mother's edict, in an ordinary palace, even the imperial concubine has no right to issue edicts to foreign officials, let alone a newly promoted concubine.
Of course, Jia Yuanchun's situation is slightly different. Firstly, Feng Ziying is marrying Lin Daiyu, and she is actually married to Jia Yuanchun. Secondly, Jia Yuanchun has a complicated relationship with the Supreme Emperor and the Dowager Concubine, but she is also the noble concubine of Emperor Yonglong. This
Feng Ziying is also a little unsure about how to position the intermediary relationship.
If Jia Yuanchun had not come to deliver the oral message, Feng Ziying would never want to have anything to do with Jia Yuanchun, but since someone entrusted someone to bring the oral message, Feng Ziying would not be able to leave.
From another perspective, Feng Ziying also wanted to see what Concubine Jia was thinking and whether she would bring him some secrets that he didn't know about.
He did not believe that Jia Yuanchun's intelligence and astuteness would not be able to ignore the subtle situation of the Tian family's heir apparent. No one was willing to wade into this muddy water, but if they could not avoid it, they would need to make preparations and decisions.
Previously, a young eunuch pretended to come to inspect the place, and Feng Ziying couldn't help but smile.
This kind of fake showmanship can only fool people like the Jia family who have never entered the palace. In the palace, how can such a grand ceremony happen if Emperor Yonglong's temperament is simple and simple?
When Feng Ziying arrived at the Jia Mansion, she naturally had to meet Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong and others. However, she was an outsider and was only summoned by the imperial concubine, so she did not have to be with the Jia Mansion.
We feel comfortable standing together in the nest.
Since Jia Mu and others who have official status, they all wear the right clothes and make up. From the main entrance of the garden, brocade curtains of various colors are pulled up, half-hidden along the road, with colorful phoenixes flying on the curtains and dragons dancing on silk.
, burning incense in the cauldron, the smoke is lingering.
Including Daiyu, Baochai, Tanchun, and all the girls in Xiangyun also chose the most suitable ones to serve. Although it was the Lantern Festival, the temperature was actually a bit low. Although the girls all wore thick laminated cotton skirts and
They even wore fox fur cloaks and even mink hats to protect their ears and necks, but everyone was still trembling with cold faces and pale lips.
The maids were even more sinister. Naturally, they couldn't wear mink fur like their master. Even if their cotton skirts were thicker than their armor, they couldn't withstand the biting cold wind of early spring in the North. All of them were covered with hair.
I was so stiff that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I could only stamp my feet on the spot to relieve the coldness that soaked my body.
Feng Ziying looked pitifully, and walked over after thinking about it, "Old lady, uncle Shi Shi, uncle Zheng Shi, elder brother Zhen, second brother Lian, I'm afraid it's still too early for this noble concubine to come out, even if she wants to come, she still has to come.
After having a meal, we can only go on the trip by asking for permission. After coming and going, I am afraid that I will not be able to come for an hour or two. There is no point in staying here so early. The old lady and the aunts and girls are fragile.
, it’s better to go back to the house and rest first, and it won’t be too late to come out when there is news from the palace.”
After hearing what Feng Ziying said, everyone looked at each other in shock.
They had never experienced anything like this before, and everyone was confused as to what regulations the imperial concubine had to follow during her wedding ceremony.
A few days ago, a young eunuch came to the palace. He only said that everything should be kept simple, we are all one family, and there is no need to worry about it too much. However, there was no detailed plan on how to do it. It is estimated that it can only be done temporarily.
Then arrange the layout one by one.
"Brother Keng, is this appropriate? What if a father-in-law from the palace comes first and sees this situation and thinks that the Jia family is disrespectful to the Tian family, wouldn't it be a sin?" Jia Zheng asked after hesitation.
"Uncle Zhengshi's words are serious, how can he be so exaggerated? The emperor is a frugal and plain-tempered person. He is not as fond of red tape as he was in the past when he was the emperor. The palace also followed the example and followed the example, striving to be simple and simple. My nephew also came to the palace a few days ago.
, it’s all like this, there’s really no need to go to such trouble, it would be unsightly if the old lady gets any pain out of her troubles outside.”
Feng Ziying was nominally talking about the old lady, but actually she was thinking about Daiyu and the others. Seeing that Daiyu's little face was covered by a fox fur and mink hat, only half of her palm was left, and her complexion was still pale. Feng Ziying was shocked.
I felt distressed, so I took this opportunity to speak.
These words are reasonable, but Feng Ziying also thinks highly of the courage of the Jia family. Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Mu discussed it and still felt that it was safer to wait at the gate, even if it was colder, it would only be better.
I can endure it.
Feng Ziying had no choice but to go back and ask a few girls to bring the soup pots and hand stoves for the girls.
Originally, these girls would carry stoves or soup pots wherever they went out, but today was unusual. They had to meet the imperial concubine, so naturally they couldn't bring these things with them.
Hearing this, several maids were moved. Seeing that their girls were extremely cold, they were still behind the ladies and gentlemen, so they were not afraid of outsiders seeing them.
Baochai, on the other hand, was more cautious, "Brother Feng, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate if someone from the palace saw this."
"What's inappropriate?" Feng Ziying waved her hands and said indifferently, "I also know the general manager of the kilometer. Even if there is something really wrong, I will ask someone to say hello and cover it up. The father-in-law of the imperial concubine's side must not be worried.
As for being more domineering than the people around the emperor, right? If something goes wrong, you, Brother Feng, will take care of it, no matter if it is the two masters, the concubine, or the palace. I must still have these few noodles, so in the worst case, I will
This Hanlin Academy compilation has been taken away. Go ahead and get it quickly. If the girls get sick from the cold, that’s a big deal."
All the girls were amused by Feng Ziying's words and thanked them one after another, but in their hearts they admired Uncle Feng's heroic spirit so they all left quietly.
But all the girls felt warm in their hearts. Although everyone had different ideas, which young girl wouldn't want her husband to be a considerate and caring man?
A husband like Feng Ziying has undoubtedly become the most perfect idol for these men of the same age who have little contact with the outside world.
Especially Daiyu, how could she not know her lover's kindness, her eye circles were almost red, and her heart was sweeter than honey, but she couldn't show it in such an occasion, otherwise she would be teased by all the sisters.
.
She was most afraid of the cold. After standing for a while, her hands and feet were already cold and stiff. Even if Zicuckoo hurriedly put her hands in her arms, what could be done?
Hearing the chatter and laughter of the girls and maids behind her, Jia Mu was a little curious and asked more questions. Then Yuanyang went to ask, and when she came back to talk, the women were speechless.
However, Jia She said, "Brother Keng has indeed been in the palace a few times. I'm afraid he knows some of the rules. Girls are thin and can get by with a hand stove. If someone comes from the palace, ask the maids to leave."
Just put it aside, with us standing in front on the left and right, we can cover it up."
After a while, the maids brought the hand-heated soup pots over one after another. The girls held the soup pots in their hands and placed them in their arms. The stove was simply placed in the skirts under their feet. The warmth surged up and down, and they suddenly became alive.
"Thanks to Brother Feng for coming up with such an idea, otherwise my little sister would really freeze on this Lantern Festival night, then it would be a big joke." Shi Xiangyun was the most lively, holding Tang Pozi in his hand with a smile on his face.
.
"Then I might have to ask Baoyu to write a play that has been passed down through the ages. Well, the name is, Shi Hou Nu longs to see the beauty of the sky, and the Lantern Festival freezes into ice flowers at night..."
Feng Ziying made fun of him casually, which immediately made all the girls cover their mouths and laugh. However, the maids did not pay much attention, especially Ying'er, who was even more lively, "Uncle Feng's words are too vulgar, there is no such thing as freezing into ice flowers."
, and it is not in line with Miss Yun’s temperament,..."
"Well, that's true. How about asking Lady Shi Hou to look forward to seeing the beauty of the sky and the cold plum blossoms blooming on the Lantern Festival night?" Feng Ziying followed suit.
The phrase "winter plum blossoms are in full bloom" made Shi Xiangyun smile, but it also made the other women's minds spin. This word "winter plum blossoms" is a great word to describe people. It is extremely praiseworthy. When it comes from Feng Ziying's mouth, it is even more extraordinary.
Tan Chun curled his lips and was the first to attack, "Brother Feng, this metaphor is inappropriate. Girl Yun is obviously frozen, how can she make the cold plum blossoms bloom? It's almost enough to say that her face is gloomy."
Xiang Yun was furious, "Tan girl, why can't the plum blossoms bloom in full bloom? Look at my face, which is turned red from the cold. Can't I say "the plum plum blossoms bloom in bloom?"
Xiangyun's words made all the girls laugh, especially Daiyu, who laughed so much that her stomach hurt and she fell down. Fortunately, Zijuan held her up, otherwise she would have kicked the heater under her feet.
Baochai, Yingchun, and Xichun were also laughing so hard that even Tanchun, who was originally so angry, couldn't help but laugh and clapped his hands.
Being laughed at by several sisters, Xiangyun put his hands on his hips and angrily shouted: "What's so funny? What's so funny about this?"
Seeing that the girls were still laughing, Xiangyun was so angry that his tears were filled with rage. He finally got angry and grabbed the instigator, Tanchun, and put his hand into Tanchun's neck, "Let you laugh, let you laugh!"
Although Xiangyun's hand was close to Mrs. Tang, it was just a palm, and the back of the hand was still a little cold. It suddenly penetrated into Tanchun's neck and shoulders, and even went straight to the chest. First, he was trembling with cold, and then...
Suddenly thinking that Brother Feng was still in front of him, Tanchun panicked.
Normally she was used to being crazy with Xiangyun, and she often used these breast-tapping movements, but in the past, she mostly used to explore her breasts by herself, because Xiangyun's development was obviously better than Tanchun's, which made her
Tanchun was very angry, but he didn't expect that Xiangyun would fight back today.
That's fine, but the key point is that it is in front of Brother Feng, which is too outrageous.
In panic, Tanchun also resisted while lowering his voice and shouting angrily: "Girl Yun, you are crazy, Brother Feng is still here."
