When Jia Jiu came back, he didn't come back alone, but came back with Princess Changle.

What surprised Jia's mother and others even more was that Princess Changle did not deliberately send Jia Jiu home - that was already enough honor and favor - but came to live at Jia's house.

When Jia Mu first heard it, she thought she had heard it wrong.

On the contrary, it was Princess Changle, seeing Jia Mu standing tremblingly, so she asked someone to move a back chair for Jia Mu to sit down, and let Jia Qian and Jia Qing also sit down on the embroidery pier. He and Jia Jiu were still sitting affectionately on the lacquered couch above.

As for those who have no grade, whether they are surnamed Jia or not, whether they are related to Jia Jiu or not, they will not be people from Jia Jiu's side, and Princess Changle is happy not to see them. Princess Changle directly asked the female officials to lead these people to the back and wait in the newly built big flower hall behind.

Without rank, no matter who they are, whether they are or not the owners of this gorgeous mansion, it is impossible for them to have the qualifications to kowtow to Princess Changle, who is today's beloved daughter.

Because they don't have that qualification.

Fortunately, the female dependents on Jia Yu's side, whether it is Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, or Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing, are all of high grade. Princess Changle pulled Jia Jiu to sit down beside him, and naturally she would not let Jia Mu and Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters lie on the ground.

When Jia's mother, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing were all seated, Princess Changle said: "This palace has long wanted to come and see the place where Jiu Yatou lives as a child." It's a pity that my father has always refused to nod. Now, it can be regarded as letting this palace get its wish. The house doesn't need to be too polite, the palace can live with the nine girls. ”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. How dare the ministers slacken? ”

Princess Changle raised her eyebrows. said: "If the palace wants to live the same as the palace, why do you have to leave the palace?" Leave this matter to the nine girls. Mrs. Tai is relieved. ”

Princess Changle said so, what else can Jia Mu say? It's just a nod.

Princess Changle is Her Royal Highness in the end. He sat in Jia's mother's Rongqing Hall for a while, chatted with Jia's mother for a while, and only accepted Jia's greetings from Jia Lian's father and son, and no one else saw him. After the female officials put away all the belongings and the house was cleaned up, Princess Changle followed Jia Jiu back to the room.

The ladies in the flower hall all wanted to meet this beloved daughter who was now long lived, especially Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai. For them, it's more than an honor. It is also the capital to show off to his children and grandchildren and other daughters in the future. It's a pity that from beginning to end, they only greeted Princess Changle at the beginning. Under the guidance of the female officials, she knelt far away in the corner, and she couldn't even see the hem of Princess Changle's skirt.

On the contrary, it was Princess Changle's behavior of asking them to wait in the big flower hall at the back, which attracted their unanimous praise.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess. So benevolent. I don't see a bit of arrogance. ”

You must know that if the rules are strictly followed, during the time that Princess Changle is in Rongqing Hall, they can only kneel on the ground until Princess Changle leaves.

Headed by Mrs. Wang, the three mothers and daughters of the Li family, Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Li Kun, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and others are all delicate and noble high-ranking women, and it really takes an hour to kneel down, but I am afraid that this knee will be broken. Even Xing Xiuyan, who used to live in the temple. I also know that it is very uncomfortable to kneel directly on the ground without a futon.

Shi Xiangyun was naturally happy that he didn't have to kneel all the time. It's just that he is a childlike and likes to be lively. Seeing that Jia Baoyu was not there, he was naturally a little uncomfortable in his heart. He saw that Mrs. Wang was talking to Aunt Xue and Mrs. Li, so he hurriedly came over, gently touched Xue Baochai's arm, and said, "Sister Bao, you say, where will Brother Ai go?" ”

Xue Baochai was thinking about how long Princess Changle would stay in the Jia family, how she could see each other again and leave a good impression on the other party, when she heard Shi Xiangyun say this, she couldn't help but raise her voice: "Sister Yun, this is not something you and I can say!" Brother Bao has a different relationship with his sister, but he is a man in the end. ”

Shi Xiangyun saw that Xue Baochai didn't give him face like this, and almost taught him a lesson in front of his elders, he was very angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Sister Bao, why don't you say that the eldest master and the second brother Lian are also men?" ”

Xue Baochai saw that Mrs. Wang and the others turned their eyes, and immediately knew that it was not good.

He shook the fan in his hand, settled his mind, and said, "Sister Yun, the old lady likes her children and grandchildren to wrap around her knees, so Brother Bao often comes to greet the old lady and accompany the old lady to be happy, this is filial piety." But Her Royal Highness the Princess is Her Royal Highness the Princess after all. Since Brother Bao was brought out by the aunts in the palace, it was naturally because of the rules of the palace. Moreover, the Hou Ye and the second brother Lian both have officials, according to the rules, they come to salute Her Royal Highness the princess, isn't it right? ”

Shi Xiangyun pursed his lips and said, "Why did you see them coming?" Why don't you see the second master? ”

Xue Baochai immediately felt that Mrs. Wang's gaze sharpened.

Xue Baochai didn't dare to make Mrs. Wang unhappy about this, so she had to say, "Look at what Sister Yun said." Now, the ladies in this house, except for Sister Lin, who wants to guard filial piety, the rest are either in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but here. The old man is a man, how can he huddle with us? What's more, we are here, the old man is in front, and there are people guarding in the middle, how do we know that the old man and Baoyu are not in front? ”

Of course, Xue Baochai knew that if Princess Changle was here to support Jia Jiu, and if the relationship between Princess Changle and Jia Jiu was really as good as rumored, then Princess Changle would definitely not be willing to see Jia Zheng, let alone Jia Baoyu.

It's just that he can't say it, let alone say it in front of Mrs. Wang.

In fact, instead of talking nonsense with Shi Xiangyun, he hopes to be able to have a relationship with these female officials now.

How could it be that Mrs. Wang was here, and Xue Baochai didn't dare to show that she was too motivated, which aroused the vigilance of this aunt.

It was as long as a lifetime before I heard movement ahead. It's just that the ladies are sitting in this flower hall, waiting for the female officials outside to leave. I saw the parrot brother come and invite them to go to the room to sit.

Mrs. Wang also remembered the matter of this Changle princess, and took the lead and led the way to the main room. Unexpectedly. At this time, there was only one mother sitting in the house, and even the sisters Jia Qian and Jia Qing were not there.

Mrs. Wang walked around, thinking that Princess Changle had left, and immediately said, "Old lady, where is the second girl?" Why don't you see him waiting in front of the old lady? ”

Mother Jia raised her eyelids slightly, blocking Mrs. Wang's next words: "Princess Changle is going to stay in the mansion for a few days." I asked the second girl to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess back to settle down. Qian girl and Qing girl, I also let them go down. ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned.

He stammered for a long time before he understood the words: "The princess, the princess, the highness, the princess, the princess, the princess, the princess, ”

Jia Mu bowed slightly: "Yes." Her Royal Highness said. This has been his wish for many years. It took a lot of effort for His Highness to get Banzai to agree. ”

The implication is that Princess Changle was grounded by the emperor or something. The real reason turned out to be that Princess Changle wanted to come to the Jia family!

Not to mention the ladies who just came from the big flower hall in the back, even Mother Jia herself couldn't believe it.

Mrs. Wang only felt bitterness in her mouth.

He looked at Jia's mother for a while before he said, "Old lady, does Her Royal Highness really want to live in this mansion?" ”

Because I was too surprised. At this time, Mrs. Wang only said this sentence.

Mother Jia glanced at the daughter-in-law again. Didn't speak.

Instead, it was Xue Baoqin, who said with a smile: "It turns out that the second sister is so good with Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Her Royal Highness the princess did not hesitate to offend Banzai in order to come to the house. ”

Xue Baochai also reacted: "It's not. If it were someone else, I wouldn't believe it, right? It's just that the house is not as good as the palace, but I don't know that Her Royal Highness the princess can't get used to it. Also, will Her Royal Highness be able to adapt to the diet and daily routine? Our family is not as good as the house, but we have been shopping in the palace for a few years. If there is a need in the house, we will do our best. ”

Shi Xiangyun couldn't get used to Xue Baochai's appearance the most. When he said: "Sister Bao, the second sister has always been a thoughtful person, how can you not know this?" Moreover, since Her Royal Highness the Princess has come to this mansion, it is good to make Her Royal Highness feel at home. But where can a family of courtiers like ours compare with the palace? If the second sister was here, she would definitely not be willing to toss these things that she didn't have. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately came to her senses: "Indeed." Her Royal Highness the princess is no better than others, and it will not be good if she is lazy. Mandarin duck, you have always been clever, you go and see for yourself whether the second girl's side is already in order. By the way, didn't the boss honor me with a box of Lao Junmei before? You bring it with you, too. Although it is not worth anything, let Her Royal Highness the princess taste my tea here. ”

The mandarin duck heard it and immediately responded.

Mrs. Wang also gathered around Jia's mother, thinking about what kind of banquet to use to entertain Princess Changle that night.

Xing Xiuyan saw that Mrs. Wang's pomp and circumstance became bigger and bigger, and the banquet became more and more extravagant, and finally couldn't help but say: "Old lady, if the food in the house is only enough for coarse tea and light rice, what do most people use that day?" Thinking that Her Royal Highness the princess will come to the mansion, I am afraid that some things have been prepared for a long time. Old lady, the younger generation is courageous, and please believe in your cousin, and also believe in the friendship between Her Royal Highness the princess and her cousin. There are some things that are better left to my cousin. ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Xing girl, how can you speak." ”

Jia Mu was stunned and said, "What Xing Yatou said is indeed a little bit to the end. He urged the mandarin duck again and asked the mandarin duck to pay attention carefully.

The mandarin duck didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately took the tea and went to Jia Jiu's yard.

Mandarin Duck never thought that Princess Changle didn't sit in the house with Jia Jiu to use tea, the two of them actually pulled weeds in the courtyard under the sun from time to time, no, it shouldn't be said to be pulling weeds, it should be said to be picking fresh vegetables. During this period, Jia Jiu could also be heard shouting.

"It's a green onion, just cut the green part. Keep the rest and it will grow later. ”

"That's white siad, the part of the choy sum is the most tender and delicious, after the choy sum is picked, the rest can only be used to feed livestock, or directly used for fertilizer."

"That's a courgette, Changle, do you like stir-fried or cold salad?"

"This is red lettuce, which can be used to make hash browns."

…………

And Princess Changle obviously didn't put on a show, but said: "If your father comes, you will also let your father go to the ground?" ”

What made the mandarin duck almost fall was that Jia Jiu actually replied: "What is this?" Hooray, it's not like you haven't been to our house. The last time Banzai came, there was not only one Banzai, but even Wang Jien and his father-in-law were lying on the ground, just for those few pieces of red lotus. After another pause, he said, "I don't know anything else." But in this matter, I must say that Banzai, who cares so much about the people's livelihood, is indeed a good emperor. ”

As the first person next to Jia's mother, Mandarin Duck never knew that the emperor had also come to this mansion, and like today's Princess Changle, he personally served these flowers and plants.

The mandarin duck was trained by Jia's mother, and since it entered Jia's mother's eyes, the mandarin duck has never done any more strenuous work. The girls of the Jia family are ten fingers that do not touch the spring water, which makes Jia's mother inseparable from his mandarin ducks more delicate. It can be said that he is more like a deputy miss than other girls, and even sometimes, even Tanchun can't compare to him. If Jia Jiu is still the same Jia Yingchun in the original book, he will naturally not be able to compare to him.

It's just that the mandarin duck never knew that the second girl not only served these things herself, but also let Banzai and the princess also follow him to serve these inconspicuous weeds, and what was even more surprising was that these two also did a similar job, and they didn't get angry, let alone see them blame.

Such an honor is how Mandarin Duck is not frightened.

Some of the mandarin ducks can't react.

Qiu Dianzan had already noticed that the mandarin duck came in through the side door, and hurriedly came over, and saw the mandarin duck holding a box, just standing there stupid, Qiu Dianzan said: "Mandarin duck girl, why are you here?" But what did Mrs. Tai not order? ”

The mandarin duck didn't dare to say anything, so he could only offer the tea box in his hand with both hands: "This is the old gentleman's eyebrows that the old lady asked me to send." ”

Qiu Dianzan knew the meaning when he heard the strings, and immediately knew what the mandarin duck had not said.

Qiu Dianzan smiled: "After all, Mrs. Tai is the grandmother of the Junjun, so she is naturally worried about our Junjun." Seeing the mandarin duck looking inside, he hurriedly blocked the mandarin duck's sight with his body, and warned the mandarin duck with his gaze, and then said: "By Mrs. Tai's side, now there is only the mandarin duck girl left who has the most heart of his old man." The girl should go back early, and don't let Mrs. Tai remember. ”

The mandarin duck couldn't, so he had to curtsey and leave. Walking down the steps and looking at the side door, the mandarin duck's face was inexplicable.

After he went back, in front of many guests, he just said: "Old lady, the maid didn't see Her Royal Highness the princess, nor did she see the second girl, it was Aunt Qiu who accepted the tea on her behalf, and asked the old lady if she had any other explanation, so she let the maid come back." ”

Jia Mu nodded and did not speak. When the mandarin duck retreated, he heard Jia Mu say: "It seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has a lot to say to the second girl." ”

Aunt Xue joked on the side: "Old lady, others don't know, but I know." Princess Changle and the second girl are very good, if it is not for the New Year to worship the ancestors, I am afraid that the two of them will stick together even for the New Year. "Their Xue family has lived in Beijing for many years, and the matter between Princess Changle and Jia Jiu has made the Xue family's mother and daughter very concerned. In this way, Aunt Xue said it much more credible than others said it.

Jia Mu smiled and didn't speak.

The face of Mrs. Wang, who was sitting below, was already very ugly. (To be continued......)
