Sure enough, on April 24, Jiafu put up lanterns and celebrated Jia Baoyu's birthday. Outside the door of Jia's house, the people under the family carried baskets of copper coins and distributed them to the poor, so as to accumulate blessings and longevity for Baoyu! The scene was lively.

Jia Zheng was very dissatisfied with this, but Jia's mother insisted on this, and coupled with Mrs. Wang's statement of "adding glory to the mother", she only half-pushed and half-agreed, and only said a few high-sounding words such as being too extravagant.

It's a pity that the post sent out by the Jia Mansion was not present except for the Wang family and other families who have a good relationship or are attached to the Jia family, and only asked the house steward to send a few congratulatory gifts. This is too far from what Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang expected, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are a little disappointed, these people don't take Concubine Xiande and the Jia family in their eyes like this. But thinking of what happened next, the two had to cheer up and deal with the guests who came to celebrate Baoyu's birthday.

There are a lot of people who come simply, men and women are separated, and there are always more than ten tables, Jia Baoyu, as the birthday star, today's protagonist, walked around each table and received a lot of gifts. After that, I came to the female guest. As soon as he entered the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled happily, called all the way, and then fell into Jia's mother's arms, and the old ancestor suddenly made Jia's mother forget her previous unhappiness, and hugged Jia Baoyu and squinted her eyes.

But Jia's mother turned her eyes and saw Xue Baochai, who was rarely dressed in red and had a gentle and dignified smile in the crowd, the joy in Jia's mother's heart faded a lot, she had already known that Yuanchun was pregnant through special channels, although she could understand Yuanchun's need for money turnover at this time, but she was also a little dissatisfied in her heart. In the end, it came out of Wang's belly, and it was still towards Wang's at a critical time. Why did she forget her ancestor? If you really lack money, won't you give it to her?

Although Yuanchun and the Jia family are closely related, it is really worrying to see what is happening in front of them! However, she was pregnant, Yuan Chun made such a fuss, and it was not appropriate to take Baoyu's marriage seriously, if she really gave birth to the prince safely in the future and had a greater future, I am afraid that the entire Jia family could be used as her bargaining chip!

Mother Jia already knew why Yuan Chun wanted to hold Baoyu's birthday, and couldn't help but feel that Yuan Chun was too superficial, it seemed that the joy of Concubine Feng's pregnancy had completely made her float, and she no longer had the forbearance in the dormant palace in the past! She thought she could hide the news of her pregnancy, but how could it be so easy, and there was no secret in the palace! She didn't know her own way yet. If she can know, others can know too! In her opinion, Yuan Chun did something wrong from the beginning!

It's just that the wood has become a boat, and no matter how angry Jia's mother is, she has to make up for Yuanchun for the sake of the Jia family. She has already planned, Baoyu's marriage is just as Yuan Chun and Wang's intended, it's a big deal, she will add a few more lovely people to Baoyu in the future! After that, she was going to pull out her hand so that she could plan for Yuan Chun.

She has been hesitating whether to hand over all her connections in the palace to Yuan Chun. Before the old prince died, he handed over the connections he had left behind in the palace for a lifetime. And when Yuan Chun entered the palace, she had already handed over half of her connections to Yuan Chun, as long as Yuan Chun made good use of it, she could protect herself now. But she didn't feel at ease, she was afraid that Yuan Chun would completely lose control! What happened right now just confirmed her guess! Yuan Chun is really still towards the Wang family and her biological mother!

Therefore, Jia Mu was hesitating, she was thinking, should Jia Yuanchun suffer a loss, be fooled, maybe at this time, she will know who is worthy of her dependence!

It's true that she has always been partial to the second room, and she also looked at Yuan Chun's face at the beginning, and didn't care about the Wang family! However, if things go beyond her bottom line, then she has to do something.

Sure enough, in the middle of the banquet, the eunuch Fang Shouxin, the leader of Fengzao Palace, came and brought the message of Concubine Xiande, and married the Xue family, the daughter of the imperial merchant Xue family. The Wang family always boasted that they would let Yuan Chun personally make a decree to give marriage, but in fact, Yuan Chun, who was a noble concubine, was not even qualified to make a decree! Her words can only be called an oracle!

After the ignorant Jia Baoyu and the calm Xue Baochai thanked them, everyone also got up, Jia Lian stuffed a purse and gave it to Fang Shouxin, and smiled and asked Fang Shouxin to go over and drink a glass of water and wine.

Fang Shouxin's eyebrows swept away, looked over lightly, and frowned slightly, "Didn't you say that you want to do a big deal?" Why are these people the only ones coming? "Most of them are relatives of the Jia family! This is too far from Concubine Xiande's expectations!

Jia Lian smiled a little embarrassed, "I posted it, but "the implication is obvious, it's not that they don't invite, it's that people don't come!"

Fang Shouxin can also be regarded as Jia Yuanchun's confidant, so he can naturally understand Jia Yuanchun's meaning, and he is a little worried at the moment, "A few days ago, when Concubine Zhang's younger brother celebrated his birthday, there were a lot of people?" ”

Jia Lian secretly complained in his heart, the son of the Zhang family is the son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites, although Concubine Zhang is only a concubine, but the family is a serious 800 draft into the palace, just enter the palace is a concubine, and quite favored, the son of the Zhang family was lifted at a young age, seeing that the saint wants to reuse the Zhang family, can his own family be compared with the Zhang family?

Fang Shouxin didn't get an answer, and snorted, in the end, he remembered that this was the mother of the concubine, and he didn't lose face too much! only smiled and said: "I don't know if the old lady is here, Niangniang has a sentence to ask the miscellaneous family to bring to the old lady!" ”

Jia Lian hurriedly and respectfully invited Fang Shouxin to Jia's mother, Fang Shouxin didn't dare to hold it up, after all, she was a first-class duchess of the country, so she made a false salute, "The old lady is fine, the concubine Niangniang has a sentence to bring to the old lady, the concubine Niangniang said, the golden jade good fate is a godsend, and asked the old lady how well he slept at night recently?" ”

Mother Jia's heart moved, and she slept well at night, which was the code word she agreed with Yuan Chun before entering the palace, which meant that she was in trouble, and asked Mother Jia if there was a way. Mother Jia knew that it must have been Yuanchun's pregnancy that leaked out, and something happened around her. It's just that she still feels that this lesson is not enough, since Yuan Chun crossed herself silently, she decided Baoyu's marriage, and she also wanted to teach Yuan Chun some lessons, so she only smiled and pretended not to know, "Thank you Niangniang for remembering, it's all right." ”

Then he stopped talking.

Fang Shouxin frowned, before leaving, the concubine had confessed, saying that the old lady must have something to bring into the palace for herself, and she would only be responsible for passing the word at that time. It can be seen that Mrs. Shi is like this, and he doesn't look like he has something to bring, and he was a little puzzled for a while.

It was Mrs. Wang, who invited Fang Shouxin aside, politely stuffed another purse, and then took a wooden box, "Please bring it to Niangniang, if Niangniang still needs anything, I will bring it in again when I am sixteenth next month." ”

Fang Shouxin pinched the purse, it was soft and bulging, it seemed that the weight of the silver ticket inside was not light! He put it in his sleeve with a smile, and then left with a smile.

Jia Mu looked at Fang Shouxin's back, and then looked at the Wang family and the Xue family who were surrounded by everyone in the middle of the congratulations and smiled, and snorted coldly, but her face was not obvious, there was a human joy, and she also responded with a smile. It was Xue Baochai who noticed Jia's mother's unhappiness and quietly pulled Aunt Xue, who was happy.

Aunt Xue shook her senses, hurriedly walked up to Mother Jia and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, the concubine has given her marriage, this is really a great honor for our Xue family!" Although she had to bow her head to Mother Jia, she still pointed out that this was what Yuan Chun meant, and I thought about it, Mother Jia didn't dare to disobey Yuan Chun's meaning!

The corners of Jia Mu's mouth rose, "Yes! It's a happy event! Baoyu, my heart, are you happy? ”

Jia Baoyu was still a little confused at this time, he didn't understand what was going on, how to be so decent, the eldest sister gave herself and Sister Bao a marriage! Are he and Sister Bao going to get married? Sister Bao, that snow-like person, is she going to be her wife?

For a while, Jia Baoyu's mind came up with a lot of poems that he had read before, for example, the eyebrows were shy and condensed, and the lips were red and warm. The smell is fragrant, the stamen is hairy, the skin is warm and the jade skin is plump. Unable to roll his arms and wrists, he loves to bow his soft body. Sweat is like beads, and the mountains are green.

Suddenly, the protagonists of those love songs seemed to have real fingers, and they became him and Xue Baochai. Jia Baoyu's mind was filled with such a beautiful picture, and he was suddenly a little stupid. He was stupidly looking for Xue Baochai's figure in the crowd, and it happened that Xue Baochai was also looking at him at this time, Xue Baochai smiled, and then looked away. And Jia Baoyu was suddenly dumbfounded, looking at Xue Baochai.

When Jia Mu saw it, she sighed in her heart, that's it, that's it, it's done, it's useless to say more.

As for Jia Zheng, because it was Yuan Chun's dictation, although he was puzzled, he also admitted it. And Mrs. Wang has paved the way many times, and he is quite satisfied with Xue Baochai, thinking that she deserves the attention of her mother.

As for the opinions of Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing and others, no one cares at all. But Wang Xifeng is a little embarrassed in his heart, Mrs. Wang obviously likes Xue Baochai very much, and Xue Baochai is also a scheming person, when the time comes, Xue Baochai and himself will compete for the right to stewardship, and he will not necessarily win! Looks like I'm going to have to figure out a way for myself.

In the crowd,; Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun hid far away, and did not follow the crowd to congratulate them. Shi Xiangyun said in his heart, no wonder he had to take himself back, it turned out to be this reason! It's just that what the eunuch and Jia's mother said are a little wrong, so good, why did Jia Yuanchun ask Jia's mother if she slept well? Maybe what's going on here!

"Sister Yun, aren't you going to congratulate Daohe?" Lin Daiyu looked at everyone's happy and noisy appearance, and asked with a smile.

"What's the hurry, there will be opportunities in the future!" Shi Xiangyun smiled.
