Chapter 114 Jia Lian Overjoyed
Although all the people in the mansion went back to their rooms to rest, they were all concerned about Jia Lian's affairs. After nearly three hours, it was almost dark before Wang'er came back alone. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and San Chungu rushed to the lobby, and Aunt Xue also brought Xue Baochai from Lixiangyuan.
Wang'er stepped forward and smiled at Jia Mu, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, and Wang Xifeng: "The ancestors are overjoyed! The master is overjoyed! The wife is overjoyed! The second grandma Lian is overjoyed! The second master Lian's imperial prelude is right today, and the saint has a big heart." Yue, the senior officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of War also highly praised the second master. The saint decreed that the second master was appointed as the head of the arsenal department of the sixth-rank military department, and the saint also rewarded the second master Lian with 330 taels of silver! But it couldn't be more respectable! "
Jia's mother couldn't help being stunned. Jia She laughed three times and said, "Good Lian'er! You are indeed my son!"
Mrs. Xing smiled all over her face and said, "Lian'er has really found a real job! He was rewarded with 5000 taels of silver by the saint! It's really blessed by the Lord Buddha!"
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but also beamed. The second master Lian finally became an official, and he could earn her a royal order in the future.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked with a smile: "Where is your second master Lian?"
Wang'er said: "I went to drink with my colleagues. Didn't I ask the second master Lian to invite me to drink? Master Shi's uncle, Xing's uncle, and young master are all here, and the adults from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are invited. It's because I can't call out the official name. I'm afraid Second Master Lian will not be able to come back until later."
In fact, everyone is also jealous, thinking that other people study hard and pass the exam to become a seventh-rank official, and Jia Lian has received such a blessing from heaven because of his errands.Shi Rui is still a sixth-rank Shu Jishi, which is the reason why he has a good relationship and his Jinshi rank is high.
Mrs. Xing said: "My lord, this is a big happy event in the house. We should also prepare for it. We will have a good time celebrating tomorrow."
Jia Amnesty was complacent and wanted to respond, set off firecrackers and reward the servants in the mansion, but Jia's mother said: "It's just a sixth-rank official. I'm afraid people will say that I'm celebrating so much. It's crazy. Lian'er is getting older too, so she should be more prudent, since she got an official position, why didn't she come back first."
Mrs. Xing covered her mouth and smiled: "Old lady, it is a skill for a man to have friends with his colleagues and drink outside! Who are the people who drink with Lian'er? Do you think you are drinking with Qingke on weekdays? That is Chaoli If you want to make friends with a senior official, there is no way for others to make friends with you!"
Jia Zheng's face turned red in an instant, and he couldn't get angry. Jia She said with a smile: "Madam is right! This is not the same as Qingke's drinking. It's not that he said to come back first to change clothes, and others have to wait." of."
Mrs. Wang glanced at her husband, the fingers holding the Buddhist beads turned white, and her chest swelled with breath, Jia Zheng also turned red from embarrassment.
When Jia's mother saw her, she ran out of excuses again. She went back to Rongqing hall and said it tomorrow.
The next day, even if Jia's mother was unhappy, she couldn't show it. The house was full of red silk, and the firecrackers crackled in the morning, and soon there were silk and bamboo opera singing.
Today the people in the big house were all dressed up, needless to say Jia She, Mrs. Xing, and Wang Xifeng, even Yingchun was dressed in red, with a golden phoenix hairpin with pearls and silk on her head, and a red gold necklace with many treasures on her neck. There is also a string of pearls the size of a thumb on it, which was specially rewarded by the imperial concubine, and entrusted Mrs. Xing and Li to bring them out of the palace. Except for the three righteous sisters of the imperial concubine, it is difficult for others to be so respectable.The big Nanyang pearl was round and radiant, and when worn on Yingchun's body, it made her skin look like fat and her cheeks were dizzy.
Tanchun took a look at Yingchun, this elder sister who was never as good as her was doing much better than her now.Madam Xing didn't care much about her at the beginning, but now because of her mother's love for her sisters, she fell in love with Yingchun, Madam Xing is very attentive to her at this time.
Mrs. Xing was looked down upon by the whole family back then, but now seeing the Xing and Li family's trick of "mother is precious according to her daughter", she also has her own thoughts. In addition, Mrs. Xing has received some support from the Xing family, and the Zhuangzi she gave her has also gained a lot, and she is much more generous. I am not stingy with dressing up Yingchun.
Moreover, Mrs. Xing loves to go to Xing's house the most, and she always brings Yingchun with her, because taking Yingchun to Xing Li's will reward her with something, jewelry or clothing.The Xing family weaves and opens a clothes shop, so they have the most materials and clothes.
Therefore, Yingchun, the second wood, has become the most prosperous and comfortable among the three springs.
Tanchun used to look down on Mrs. Xing, but now she often sheds tears. If she was born in the big house, even if she was a concubine, she would be recorded in the name of her aunt like Yingchun. An aunt like Shi loves her.
Originally, she was much smarter than her second sister Lingxiu.
Seeing Tanchun peeking at her several times, Yingchun noticed that there was a tinge of blackness under the other's handsome eyes, so she couldn't help asking: "The third sister is tired? She doesn't look very good."
Mrs. Wang said yesterday that she had a headache and had a lot of fuss. Finally, she blamed Sang and scolded Sang. Tanchun served by her side, and she went back to sleep very late.
Tanchun said: "Yesterday I suffered from a bit of wind and cold, and today I wake up feeling a bit weak."
Now that Yingchun is favored and often goes out, she has become more courageous and enthusiastic, so she couldn't help asking: "Did you see the doctor?"
Tanchun said: "Who still invites a doctor for this trouble? Drink a bowl of ginger soup, go down, and sleep well, and tomorrow will be fine."
Yingchun doesn't like to stand out or talk, but her heart is like a mirror. Now she lives in the east courtyard, not like when Mrs. Wang lived with Xia.
Those women with dirty hands and feet in the room were cleaned up by Mrs. Xing who "knocked the door deadly". Siqi told Mrs. Xing that the woman stole the phoenix hairpin that the mother gave to the girl. How could Mrs. Xing not do it? of?She did a good job of copying the servant's house, and made a small fortune. Of course, she also returned some important things to Yingchun.
Mrs. Xing also hopes that Yingchun can stand up a bit. Only a daughter who can stand up can win the heart of the future "backing son-in-law" like a noble concubine wins the heart of a saint. In the end, her mother-in-law will be beneficial.
Baochai looked at Tanchun and said, "It's said that the girl's family is rich, so the third sister can't be careless."
Tanchun sighed: "I know my own health well, so it doesn't matter so much. If tomorrow is bad, I will have to tell my wife."
Xichun has a cool temper, and didn't like the bustle of flowers and brocades much, and said: "There are not many places to sit in the mansion for the past few days to listen to plays and eat wine. If the third sister is tired, I will accompany you back to the house."
A few girls were talking, and the men over there gathered together. Jia Lian could still rest for two days. At this time, he was very proud. Go, but Jia Baoyu came over to the girls.
When it was almost noon, the gatekeeper came to report that Miss Lin had arrived, and Mrs. Xing was busy making arrangements again, asking Wang Shanbao's family to arrange for Daiyu and her party to check in in the east courtyard.
Mrs. Xing herself and Wang Xifeng went out of the courtyard to bring Daiyu in. Daiyu also brought presents for everyone in the house, especially the congratulatory gifts for Jia Lian's success were directly given to Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng only glanced at the gift list, and couldn't help but smile, the congratulatory gift from the Lin family will naturally not be thin.Mrs. Wang naturally can't say that she is in charge now, so the gift should be given to her. This was originally a congratulatory gift for Jia Lian, and she was ashamed to say it at this time.In her heart, she could only blame Lin Daiyu for her ignorance.
Jia Mu said, "Good Yu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come and show grandma."
Daiyu stepped forward and saluted. Mother Jia grabbed her hand, hugged her lovingly again, and talked about her mother and how caring she was when she was raised by her side when she was a child.
Daiyu couldn't help but feel sad. After returning to the south, Daiyu understood how much the Jia family treated her softly, and that although Jia's mother loved her, she didn't care about the harm her boudoir reputation caused her.
Daiyu knew that although Jia's mother did that, she really loved her, and she felt a little unfilial when she was away from Jia's house all these years.This time it was Madam Xing who picked her up and arranged for her to live next to Sister Yingchun in the east courtyard. It was finally okay, and she also decided to stay for three days and come to serve Jia Mu every day.
Knowing that Sister Lin was coming, Jia Baoyu hurried over, looked at Daiyu who was sitting next to Jia's mother, and called out, "Sister Lin, you are here."
Jia Mu put Baoyu on the other side again, as if she was more satisfied than anything else. Jia Mu said, "You two are my darlings. You have been raised together since childhood. You eat together and sleep in the same room. Wouldn't it be a pity if this relationship is neglected?"
As she said that she wanted to put their hands together, Daiyu withdrew them in shock, and Nanny Li stepped forward and said, "Old Madam, it's okay to raise them together when I was young, but now that my brothers and girls are grown up, we need to keep them together." shunned."
Mother Jia's face was displeased, and she was about to scold, but it was Daiyu who came out of her arms and said, "The old ancestor is right, and my brothers and sisters don't need to be alienated. I have regarded Baoyu as my brother since I was a child. I respect him even when I grow up. However, even brothers and sisters, if you think about your elder brother in your heart, you should avoid it if you want to avoid it. The world is like this, and there is nothing Yu'er can do."
Seeing that she had wiped away her tears, Jia's mother was also indifferent to Baoyu, and thought to herself: This is because Xiaobai has loved her since childhood. Since returning to the south, I don't know why the villain has caused trouble. It turns out that the two Yu'er are such a good couple.
Speaking of villains, Jia's mother thought of Xing Xiuyan. The benefits of the promotion of the Lin family and the Jia family's second wife did not touch the slightest, which made it easier for outsiders like the Xing family.
Baochai watched Daiyu retreat, and the nuns from the palace and Zixue Qingjin's personal servants sat down on the seat next to Mrs. Xing.This aura is different from that of her, Sanchun, Baoqin, and Li's sisters. They couldn't help feeling sour when they saw it.
Baochai thought that her mother's ignorance made a good marriage known all over the house, and if she didn't delay Baoyu to marry her immediately, it would ruin her reputation instead.
On the other hand, Daiyu was able to avoid Baoyu, and a seemingly indifferent sentence of "the world is like this" was like a basin of ice water pouring from Baochai's head, making her shiver in the cold.Thinking that it is rare for her to go to Baoyu House on weekdays?
Even if she decided to only use Baoyu as a spare tire, she couldn't take it in first, and ruined her better future.
When it comes to a better future, Baochai will inevitably have a desire to compare. This is the nature of a strong and outstanding girl, but it is not a dark heart.
Baochai has always disapproved of Daiyu, but seeing her sitting there calmly, accompanied by mothers and maidservants, she is indescribably dignified.With a beautiful and romantic appearance, she is pure and jade-clean, not like fireworks in the world, but she has a prominent family background, and she has the imperial concubine Chen who is the most favored in the harem as her sister.If there is a real lover in the world, he would choose her instead of himself.
