Chapter 024 Jia Yuanchun enters the Fengzao Palace

After living in the village for a month, because the winter solstice was approaching, there was still a need to move around, so the brother and sister had to go back to the Lin Mansion.

After going back, it was a busy time, and the winter solstice was a big festival, although people didn't care much about it in modern times, but at this time, people attached great importance to it.

As the saying goes, "Winter solstice dumplings and summer solstice noodles", so on this day, everyone in the Lin Mansion who can use it was assigned by the housekeeper Lin Cheng to help make dumplings in the kitchen. These dumplings are not only eaten by themselves, but also taken to the poor outside the house, although they are for a good name, but they are also doing good deeds.

Lin Jue did not do this for himself, but called the name of the eldest girl of the Lin Mansion.

Due to the heavy snow this year, it is said that many places have been hit by snowstorms, and several villages on the outskirts of Beijing have also been crushed by the heavy snow, so many victims have flocked to the city to seek shelter. Although most of them were stopped outside the city, in the end, there were still a lot of people in the city, and there were poor people in the city, so Lin Jue thought that it would be better to set up a shop outside the house on this day, so that people could eat a mouthful of hot dumplings in this cold winter wax moon, which could be regarded as accumulating virtue for Daiyu.

And the palace concubines headed by the Empress Dowager Chen in the palace are also advocating frugality, and every meal and meal are mainly light, thrifty and economical, in order to show the grace of the emperor. Because the palace concubines are still like this, the families of the lower officials in Beijing also follow suit, and there are also some female relatives who open porridge sheds to gain fame, such as the Lin family, which is not so eye-catching.

This is also the reason why Lin Jue looks down on the Jia family, and he has no political vision. Even Lin Jue had read the original book before, and he was also puzzled by the Jia family's daily sheng songs. Every year, the royal family still has a few days of white clothes and vegetarians, but the Jia family has never followed suit, it is still extravagant, no wonder the building is about to collapse, and there is no one who is vigilant, and their heads have been filled with anointment.

Because of this outcome, the Lin family was busy, and even a few of Lin Jue's servants were dispatched. Now the most idle in the house is Daiyu here.

Because Daiyu is a girl's family in the end, there is no shortage of people around to serve, so only a few people have been transferred away from her courtyard, and most of the others are still performing their duties.

Seeing Lin Jue coming, Daiyu smiled and said: "I was still talking about my brother with my grandmother just now, so it can be seen that I can't talk about people in private, so won't I come now." ”

"What did you say about me? If you and your grandmother talk about me, you will praise me, and I am not fortunate to come, so let you praise me in private, so that you may not praise me to your face, and you will not be able to wipe your face. ”

Lin Jue's words made several people laugh.

After talking and laughing for a while, Lin Jue said: "Before, my grandfather's family sent a post to invite you over, but you didn't go, and this time I posted again, saying that there was a big happy event, but I don't know what it is, if you don't want to go, I will push it directly." ”

Daiyu pondered it carefully, and said: "Since it is a big happy event, it must have nothing to do with us, so it doesn't hurt to go and have a good time." In the end, I may not have been to say goodbye to my grandmother for a long time, and I made some unpleasant trouble last time, so it is good to resolve it this time. ”

Lin Jue vaguely guessed what the "great happy event" of this Jia Mansion was, but it was not good to talk to Daiyu in detail, since Daiyu had the heart to reconcile with the Jia family, Lin Jue was not a person who had to mess around, so he didn't say anything more, and talked to Daiyu about some interesting stories outside, which made Daiyu shout and laugh so much that her stomach hurt.

After two days like this, the Winter Solstice Festival passed, and Daiyu Fang packed up and took Mama Fang to Jiafu.

As soon as he entered Jia's mansion, he felt the happy atmosphere in the mansion, and when he saw Jia's mother, he was called again with his "heart, liver, and flesh".

Daiyu said with a smile: "Because the weather turned cold a few days ago, I caused some cold, and I was afraid that I would give the old lady a bad breath, so I kept asking for peace, and the old lady must not blame Daiyu." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "You are weaker than others, and when it comes to the change of seasons, you are the most susceptible to cold and evil like a body, but now you are very good?" ”

"It's good to hurry over to kowtow to the old lady, I heard that there was a big happy event in the house, but I haven't heard of it in the house every day, the old lady can quickly talk to me, let me be happy."

Mother Jia smiled when she heard this, and the folds on her face became deeper and deeper, "No wonder you don't know, there are only two brothers and sisters in your Lin Mansion, but who else." It turned out to be your eldest sister Yuanchun, a few days ago she suddenly felt unwell, and the imperial doctor knew that she was pregnant after diagnosis and treatment. ”

Daiyu thought of Lin Jue's words that "except for the queen, everyone else in the royal family is the emperor's little wife", she couldn't help but laugh, and pretended to be surprised: "There is such a big happy event, and the eldest sister can be regarded as having survived." ”

Yuan Chun should have been released from the palace next year, and when she returned home, she was a little hindered by her age, relying on her appearance, intelligence, and bearing, coupled with the backer of Jiafu, it was easy to find a solid family. Even if you really want to marry into the Hou Mansion, it is not impossible to operate, and now she has made a little wife to an old man, and the family is still complacent there, which is really ridiculous to think about.

The room was full of festivities, only Mother Jia listened to Daiyu's words, and couldn't help sighing: "Isn't it out of the woods, your eldest sister was only eleven or twelve years old when she first entered the palace, and she was the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion who went to the palace to do the work of serving people. Now it's good, once she was a concubine, she has an heir, but it's complete. Jia Mu said, and recited "Amitabha" with her palms together.

Hearing this, others are okay, but the second wife's eyes suddenly turned red, her two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Jia Zhu is a good student, and his temperament is also kind, but he doesn't want to go early; The eldest daughter was brought to Jia's mother since she was born, although she was not close to herself, in the end, it was the meat that fell from her body, when she entered the palace, she could call herself a wife, and she didn't know how many handkerchiefs she wet when she cried. Now there is only one treasure jade, but I don't know what to do.

Because Jia's mother and the second wife's faces were not very good-looking, the people in the room didn't dare to say anything more, Mrs. Xing's eyes showed a little jealousy, and she didn't dare to show it in front of Jia's mother, so she endured it.

The room was silent for a while, Daiyu took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, broke the silence and said: "I heard that there was a big happy event in the house, so I thought that I didn't know what it was, but now that I know, I have to go back and talk to my brother." Such a big happy event, my brother should come to the house to congratulate him. ”

Jia Mu then smiled and said: "It's not busy, it's so easy for you to come here, but you have to stay longer, Tanchun has been talking to you for a few days, saying that I have heard of your poem name, but I want to start a poetry club and invite you to be a president." On your brother's side, it's the same to tell your subordinates to say it, it's all your own family, and you don't have to stick to those false courtesies. ”

Dai Yuyuan also wanted to divert the conversation, but now that she heard Jia Mu say this, she didn't say anything more, and instead talked to Tanchun about the poetry club. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang Xifeng, has always had no drops of ink in their stomachs, and they didn't follow the association, they only confessed their sins and left one by one.

Mother Jia likes these little girls talking together, and she is a person with some knowledge, but she lacks some skills in writing and ink, and every time she says a sentence, she can get to the point, which is very convincing.

Because it was just a joke of the little girl's family, the poetry club soon got up, and Jia's mother even made up a share of the money as if it were fun. Because Jia's mother took the lead, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Sister Feng and Li Kun also joined in, although the money was not much, it also caused Mrs. Xing to muttered a few times in private.

Sister Feng is a person who doesn't understand anything at all, and because Daiyu is there, she didn't follow her. On the contrary, Li Kun had nothing else to do except serve his in-laws during the day, so he was appointed as a "Minister of Finance", who was in charge of the daily expenses of the poetry society, and the supply of refreshments, pen and ink, but he made the best use of his talents.

Daiyu is the president, and the members only welcome the spring and cherish the spring three sisters, so they pulled Ping'er next to Sister Feng, the happy person in the Baoyu House and the autumn pattern Qingwen next to Jia's mother as a partner, and Xiangyun came to have a fun, Baochai took Xiangling uninvited, the scale of the poetry club is not small, Jia's mother listened, and praised the close relationship between their sisters.

The poetry club is a joke, because Daiyu is just a guest in Jiafu, her president is more like a name, everyone faintly pushed Baochai to the position of vice president, Daiyu noticed it, and just smiled.

This girl from the Xue family really has to fight for everything.

The poetry club opened once, everyone had their own verses, and the poems of Daiyu and Baochai were recommended as the best, and no one could overwhelm anyone, so they tied for the first place. Daiyu didn't care about this, and Baochai also smiled silently.

Daiyu lived in Jiafu for three days, during which she did not see Baoyu, because the last time Jia Zheng beat people hard, Baoyu took some lessons, and there were raiders who waited warmly every day, Baoyu gradually understood some things, although he still disdained to be in the company of national thieves and ghosts, but he did not dare to say anything rebellious, and he was very active in studying every day.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng was also comforted, and secretly said in his heart: If the woman's kindness is not good, the son still has to be raised by himself in order to be promising. In this way, on the contrary, Baoyu stared more and more tightly, causing Baoyu to be miserable every day.
