On the day of Jia Jing's birthday banquet, because it was not the whole birthday, there was no big banquet for guests, but only invited people from the clan to come over and have a lively time. However, the Jia family clan has a large number of people, although they did not gather in Ningguofu, it is enough to make the entire birthday banquet lively.

On Jia Jing's birthday, the subordinates of the entire Ning Guo Mansion naturally stacked up a hundred spirits one by one, lest something go wrong and cause the dissatisfaction of the main family. It's a pity that the subordinates of the Ning and Rong mansions are used to being lenient and indulgent, and they are nervous for a while, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be able to go on a business trip. This mistake made Jia Jing angry.

But it turned out that Lin Rui's daughter-in-law Yang and Sister Feng came out of the Qin family, and walked to Huifangyuan together with a smile. Sister Feng was intentionally close to the Yang family, and her younger siblings were called very affectionately. She has a sweet mouth, is very good at coaxing people, and is articulate and clever, and a few jokes and slang are so good that Yang can't help but blush.

The Huifang Garden of Ningfu is full of yellow flowers, white willow horizontal slopes, small bridges and flowing water, and winding paths. The Yang family is also from a family, and the gardens at home are generally exquisite, and they are also a little watchful. Sister Feng watched her actions and knew what she meant, and gradually attracted the topic to this aspect, and occasionally raised her hand to guide the wonders and lead Yang to see. The two of them enjoyed the scenery in the garden, and their footsteps naturally slowed down, and there seemed to be movement behind the rocks on one side. Yang was startled, and the girl who followed behind him immediately surrounded him.

Sister Feng was also startled, and then her eyes stood up, and she shouted to the people behind her: "Go and see, who is sneaking around here." ”

A few stout mothers-in-law boldly passed, and soon pulled out a person from behind the rockery. The man was not flustered, he was dressed neatly, and he was very polite to Sister Feng: "Please sister-in-law." ”

Sister Feng was a little surprised, and looked at it carefully, "This is Uncle Rui?" ”

Jia Rui hurriedly smiled: "Exactly." He originally had some thoughts about Sister Feng, but there was a young and handsome young woman who was walking with Sister Feng, and she just peeked at Sister Feng'er's attitude, which was very affectionate. Jia Rui thought about it carefully, and knew that the identity of the person who was traveling with Lu Dao should be Lin Rui's wife. As soon as he guessed the identity of the Yang family, all of Jia Rui's thoughts were doused with ice water. In addition, the two of them are surrounded by countless girls and mothers-in-law, and once they find themselves, the consequences are very serious. Who knows, just when Jia Rui wanted to retreat, he accidentally made a noise, which was heard by the two of them, and then he was arrested.

"Uncle, why is here?" Sister Feng'er's face was not very good. When he just turned his head, Yang was already surrounded by the girl and the mother-in-law, and at this time, he couldn't see a corner of his skirt.

Jia Rui hurriedly explained: "Because I had wine, I was afraid that I would be poured again, so I secretly left the table and found a clean place to disperse a little." I didn't want to, I happened to meet my sister-in-law, so I wanted to avoid it, but it was still too late. It's all the younger brother's, isn't it. It's no wonder that my sister-in-law is still in vain. ”

Sister Feng'er's face slowed down slightly, and she smiled slowly, "Uncle is almost scattered, go to the table." Behold, they will take it, and you will punish your wine. ”

Where did Jia Rui dare to stay, he hurriedly made a gesture and left in a hurry. He had only walked a few steps away. A subordinate from the Ning Mansion stopped him, and led him with a smile: "Our Uncle Rong guessed that Uncle Rui must have escaped from the table, so we specially asked you to go back." ”

Jia Rui didn't dare to say more. hurriedly put down the table and returned to his seat, was held down by Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, and was drunk, and was carried home by someone at the end.

Jia Rui entered the table here, and someone over there had already reported the matter to Jia Zhen and You Shi. Jia Zhen's face sank, "What about the people who are on an errand in the garden today?" After scattering the wine, they all went to get the board. For a while, I was afraid that my father would be angry when he knew about it, so he ordered: "Don't say it to the old lady." ”

You Shi was afraid that Jia Min would be angry, so he quietly pulled Sister Lafeng'er and motioned for her to help say a few good words for a while. Jia Min naturally knew the way, and the people who had just served the Yang family to visit the Qin family were all servants of the Lin family, and when he met a big man in the garden, of course he would tell Jia Min as soon as possible.

Yang was still a little uneasy, and quietly stood behind Jia Min, not daring not to say much. Jia Min's expression did not move, but she saw that her daughter-in-law and You Shi were a little uneasy, she sat for a while, then got up to change her clothes and left the table alone.

Seeing this, You Shi hurriedly followed, personally served Jia Min, and said with great shame: "Auntie, it's all our fault, it's not good to control the subordinates, let them be greedy and lazy, and let the younger siblings meet the children of the clan." ”

Jia Min was happy, "What's this, isn't there still Brother Feng'er." Besides, a group of mothers-in-law and girls followed, and they were all relatives in the family, not to mention that they met by chance, even if they met each other, it didn't hurt to meet them. ”

Jia Min said this, so that You Shi was relieved, and hurriedly helped Jia Min out, "Uncle Narui also looked like a square child in the past, and now he has eaten too much wine, so he will escape the banquet and go to the garden to scatter wine." ”

Jia Min said: "It's not me who said, these gentlemen are fighting too hard." Then there is Brother Zhen'er, who is not young, how can he follow the same drinking as when he was young? This is not good, you have to persuade you in parallel, now it is no better than when you were younger, and you know that the road is maintained. ”

After the banquet was dispersed, and everyone was sent away, Jia Jing still knew the Tao in the end. He was furious and scolded his son and grandson, "I'm just going to live in Lu for a few years, you are used to being casual, and even the people in this house are becoming more and more casual, and you indulge them on weekdays!" ”

and the subordinates led by the housekeeper Lai Sheng, who were fined money, were fined money, and those who were beaten were beaten, and they were all hanged and fished.

Jia Jing glared at his son in the dark, "You can't manage such an idea in the family, how can you manage the family?" If you do this again, make room for me, and I will have someone who can come and pick you up. "Everyone knows that what he said is angry, Jia Jing only has Jia Zhen as a son, who else can he give if the position of the patriarch is not given to his son. However, everyone also knows that Jia Jing can lock up Jia Zhen at any time for reflection, and take over the affairs of the clan himself, and no one will object.

Jia Min didn't come to see the play on the second day, and even Jia's mother didn't come over, until Mrs. Xing and Wang still brought their daughters-in-law over, and enjoyed the drama wine for a day, and only went in the evening. So, when Jia Jing lost his temper at home, Jia Min still learned about it after several days.

You brought gifts to the house this day, laughed with him for a long time, put down his things and went back.

Jia Min smiled and said to her daughter-in-law: "Look at the way you look at your heart, it's not a big deal, as for it." became a parent, and when I saw outsiders, where could I be the same as the girl's family. When you take charge of the house in the future, the head of the family and the housekeeper will not be seen. Put that idea aside and go and choose two good clothes and good jewelry to prepare. At the winter solstice, it is easy to wear when entering the palace. ”

On the day of the winter solstice, there was a big banquet in the palace as usual, Jia Min dressed up and took his daughter-in-law to the palace. On such a day, Daiyu had no chance to enter the palace, and before leaving, Jia Min instructed and instructed, and when she saw her daughter nodding obediently, she turned around and went out of the house to get into the sedan chair. I went straight to the palace.

The banquet in the palace is never easy, Jia Min sits at the front of the wife, watching the eldest princess and the princess take turns to toast the queen, and talking to the queen affectionately.

Because of her husband Lin Hai's relationship, Jia Min is naturally also the most popular one. The ladies in the neighborhood were all smiling and talking to her. She cheered up a hundred times, with a decent and gentle smile on her face, and gossiped with others. all these years. She can be considered to have practiced, even if she is distracted, she can be crooked without pressure.

Sanfu's wife, who was talking to Jia Min, whispered, "What a fox." It's amazing. "Listen to what she said, just a plate of pea yellow, enough to say half a column of incense. What is the origin, the selection of materials, the workmanship, the taste, etc., it really comes out of the mouth. co-authored, it seems that she has a delicate life, right?

Jia Min drank another glass of wine, his face was slightly feverish, his head was also a little dizzy, he knew that he had wine, so he wanted to accuse himself of getting up and changing his clothes, the palace maid beside the queen came over with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "Mrs. Lin, the queen invites you to go to the apse to sit down, drink a cup of tea, and scatter the wine." ”

But it turned out that Cui, who was sitting at the top, had already seen Jia Min's flushed cheeks, his phoenix eyes were hazy, and he saw that he had a sense of wine, so he hurriedly sent the big palace maid next to him to invite Jia Min. It just so happened that she was also sitting impatiently, and wanted to go back to the apse to rest and talk to Jia Min.

When the queen returned to the apse, she found that Jia Min was already there, leaning on a big red python satin pillow, holding a bowl in her hand, and slowly sipping tea. Seeing her come in, he got up and smiled: "Forgive me for being unreasonable today, I'm really dizzy." ”

The queen took off her coat, sat opposite Jia Min, and brought tea to drink, and did not forget to count Jia Min: "I know that I don't drink well, so what can I do." I don't believe it, if you really don't drink, they can still force you to fail. ”

Jia Min said with a smile: "They can't force me, but they inevitably feel that they have lost face, and they feel bad in their hearts, and they are afraid that they will scold me for being domineering." She sighed shallowly, "Now that our master is in a difficult time, I just helped him, and I can't hold him back anymore." It's just a few glasses of wine, and I'll be done with it, and I'll be uncomfortable for a while, and I can't get drunk to death. ”

Her words made the queen speechless, glared at her hatefully, and instructed the palace people, "Go and boil the sobering soup." ”

Jia Min smiled: "Don't, the special things you have here should be kept for the saint." After so many years, you still don't know me, with wine, drink two teas, and stop for a while. As one of the people who was fortunate enough to taste Cui's exclusive secret recipe special hangover soup, Jia Min said that she would never think about that thing if she didn't drink it in her life.

The queen glanced at her, relaxed and leaned back, and said with a smile: "There is a fast way, you don't need it, if you want to make it slow, you have to let yourself suffer a little more." ”

Jia Min originally only thought that the queen was joking with her, but then looking at her expression, she felt that she had something to say, and at the moment she frowned slightly, put down the tea cup in her hand, sat up slightly straight, and said, "What's the matter, the queen will tell me directly." ”

The queen Zhengrong asked, "Now, do you still plan to let me let your niece out of the palace?" ”

Jia Min was stunned, "Why did you mention this so well?" I want her to get out of the palace to marry, but she has ambitions, and if my aunt interferes, I'm afraid she will resent me in the future. Besides, my mother's family is already thinking that I am troublesome, and if I make another suggestion to get her out of the house, I am afraid that I will not even be able to set foot in my mother's door in the future. ”

The queen sighed: "No matter how resentful and hateful, it is always my own family." ”

Jia Min said helplessly: "Yes, you can't write two Jia characters in one stroke." Blood relatives, how can it be broken. "Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, she still has to manage the affairs of the Jia family. In this era, the meaning of the word family is far from being understood by modern people. "Why did the Queen bring this up today? But what did my niece do? ”

The queen said: "She didn't know what way to go, but she actually met the saint in the imperial garden, and played a song of mountains and rivers on the spot, and was praised by the saint." At the beginning, Xiao Jin made a decision not to choose a good family to fill the harem. Some people gave up their original ideas, but some people intensified their efforts to send their daughters to the palace as female histories, and Jia Yuanchun was just one of those women.

What makes her different from everyone else is that she has an aunt who has a good relationship with the queen. Therefore, at the beginning of entering the palace, he received a lot of care from the queen. The queen naturally understands her husband, and Xiao Jin is very disdainful of these people who do everything possible to send their daughters into the palace in order to use nepotism to win wealth and nobility. She knew in her heart that if these girls and their families were honest, they might be able to survive until they got married out of the palace, and if they were not honest, they might not even have a good end.

The queen and Jia Min have a deep affection and don't want her niece to go down that dead end. It is to take care of her life in the palace. On the other hand, he also took strict care of her, and easily did not allow her to go out. In this case, Jia Yuanchun can make the least mistakes, although he has not won the position like a few people, but he has stayed smoothly until now.

But stability is not what Yuan Chun wants, and after she saw that she couldn't rely on Jia Min, she could only find another way out. I don't know what kind of relationship Lu Dao's uncle used, in short, Jia Yuanchun finally saw Xiao Jin. And successfully performed in front of him.

For this situation, Jia Min only had two words left in his mind: Sleep! Don't you dare to be more bloody.

"What about the attitude of the saints?" Jia Min asked cautiously. Don't get angry for a while, just click people, or send them home. Nima. It doesn't matter if she is sent back, there are still several girls in the Jia family who are not married. Even if she, the aunt and grandmother who got married, and her niece are so ugly, does she have a very bright face?

The queen said, "Saint." It's just a number of concubines who can play the piano. The key is what do you want to do? If you want her to leave the palace, I'll go and tell the saint. The queen paused, seeing that Jia Min did not speak. He spoke again: "I advise you, don't think about getting her out of the way, the day before yesterday, someone already knows about it." At this time, when she was sent home, either the queen was jealous and intolerant, or the daughter of the Jia family was dishonest and was driven back by the emperor. It's just for the sake of the uncle of the Jia family's daughter, and he didn't say it directly. These two points, no matter which one they are, Jia Min is not happy to accept.

"Come on, let her go." What else could Jia Min say, and said with a wry smile: "This is the path she chose herself, I just hope she won't regret it in the future." I'm an aunt, and I'm not the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, but I'm just talking about half a sentence, where can I make a decision for her. ”

"Don't be discouraged, everyone has the heart to compete for glory and boast." The queen has been in the palace for many years, and she has seen a lot, and some things have long faded, and her heart has become much harder. If it weren't for Jia Min and her being best friends when she was young, and really helping her a lot, she wouldn't have asked today. "It's us, occasionally we still want to boast about two points, not to mention a young girl, and in the most magnificent place in the world, some thoughts are normal." The queen paused, "If the saint makes an order, I can't guarantee anything else, as long as she is safe, abides by the palace rules, and keeps her safe, I can still do it." ”

Jia Min stirred up and lightened his head, "This is already very good." ”

"Sit down, sit down, do you still have words of thanks between us." The queen hurriedly got up and helped Jia Min up, "To be honest, it is impossible for a saint to have only one wife, nor can he only have a few concubines. It's not your niece, it's someone else. Sometimes I think I'd rather be your niece. "Just because of Jia Min's relationship with her, Jia Yuanchun has a label on her, which can be regarded as a person in her regard.

Jia Min smiled: "What, there are still people in the palace who are against you now?" "She knows that the saint is now, and she accompanies the queen for more than 20 days a month, and occasionally recruits concubines.

The queen leaned back lazily, "Until no one pinched me, they probably don't dare now." However, it's fun to pinch each other. "In the deep palace, it is very lonely, and the queen regards the intrigue between the concubines as a lively look, which can be regarded as self-enjoyment." Even the saints say the same. "Hehe, they all grew up in the palace, and they stayed in the East Palace a lot, the hearts of the people in this palace, the two of them don't say that they can see ten out of ten, but at least six or seven points. Ridiculous those girls, do you really think that their little bit of caution can hide from others?

"You'd better be careful, when the temptation is too great, there will naturally be people looking for death." Jia Min reminded lightly.

The queen still looked lazy, "I can save it." ”

When he returned home with such news from the Winter Solstice Banquet, Jia Min was very bored and too lazy to go. Someone came to invite, but they only said that they were not good and refused to go.

Jia's mother got the news for a while, and hurriedly sent someone to see, Jia Min sat on the couch in the warm pavilion, and said to a few mothers-in-law with a smile: "It's just that it's cold outside." I was too lazy to move, so that the old lady would worry about me. ”

The leading woman hurriedly said: "No, if it's cold today, Mrs. Aunt, grandmother, and big girl who come out and go in must pay attention to their bodies, in case they freeze, it's not a joke." is like Grandma Xiaorong in the East Mansion, who is so gentle and kind, but now she is so sick that she can't even get out of bed. ”

Jia Min was startled and hurriedly asked, "It's only been a few days, why are you so sick?" A few days ago. Didn't you say that you had already seen each other? ”

"It's been two days, I heard that I've been getting thinner and thinner in the past few days, and people don't have much energy."

Jia Min frowned, turned around and instructed the girl to prepare a good tonic for the good, and called Cuizhu and Mo Ju, "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is not very good, you bring a few people to take a look for me." ”

"Yes."

It's a pity that the Qin family didn't survive the first month in the end. It was just two days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he died of illness, and the fragrance was lost.

When the news was reported to the Lin family, Jia Min was stunned for a long time. I didn't feel tears, "I'm still so young, alas, ......"

Lin Ruhai grabbed his wife's shoulders and gently comforted him. "Don't be sad, clean up and send someone over to take a look."

Jia Min wiped away tears. Nodding slightly, I only felt like a big stone was pressing on my heart, and I couldn't breathe because of the heavy weight.

The death of the Qin family, because Jia Zhen originally wanted to do a big job, and he didn't want to be spit on Jia Jing's head in the face, so he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "You still dare to say that you want to do a big job?" I don't want to be faced. ”

Jia Zhen was shocked, he never thought that the matter between himself and his daughter-in-law would be known by his father. After the shock, he quickly "pounced" and knelt down, "Master......"

Jia Jing lowered his voice and said in a dark voice: "Beast, do you think I don't know about the good things you have done? It's just for the sake of the family's reputation, pretending not to know the way. Now that the goblin is dead, he will carry it out of the hall when he sees that it is almost done, and he will not have to dirty my house's ground. ”

Jia Zhen originally wanted to donate an official to her son, so that her daughter-in-law's funeral would be more beautiful, but she was frightened by his father, and they all flew away.

"I don't have the time to beat you now!" Jia Jing pointed at Jia Zhen and warned: "You remember it for me, don't show the slightest hint, if people see the signs, you will be the one who will die tomorrow." ”

Jia Zhen was so frightened by his old son that his soul was about to fly, and when he came out of the study in a cold sweat, he was blown by the cold wind, and he was excited, he slowly recalled Jia Jing's words, and a thought came to his mind, his daughter-in-law Qin would not be removed by his father. The more I thought about it, the more it was like this, Jia Zhen was distressed, cold, and even faintly relaxed.

He had mixed tastes here, and he didn't go back to You's place, he only slept in the study all night, and when he got up early the next day, he felt a little uncomfortable. But when he thought of his father's words, Jia Zhen really didn't dare to get sick, so he asked someone to cook soothing tea, ginger soup, drank two big bowls of hot water, and wrapped himself in the quilt and sweated, so he felt better, and hurriedly struggled to get up, freshened up, and cheered up to go to Jia Jing to ask for peace.

Although Jia Jing is not allowed to make a big deal, the Qin family is the granddaughter of Ningguo Mansion after all, and her death is sacrificed by all families. Jia Min brought her daughter-in-law and daughter to come, and was invited into the back hall to sit with Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Min came all the way, and when he saw the Ning Mansion, he was much cleaner than when he came to the banquet before, so he had to nod secretly. After meeting the two sisters-in-law Xing and Wang, they sat down after greeting each other. Coincidentally, the wife of Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding came with her niece Shi Xiangyun, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang had to bring Li Kun and Sister Feng to welcome them. After entering the inner room and seeing each other with Jia Min, he sat down.

When Shi Xiangyun saw Daiyu, her face was overjoyed, and when she was about to open her mouth, she remembered what place this was, swallowed her words, and stood behind her aunt honestly, only quietly throwing a look at digging Daiyu.

Daiyu nodded slightly.

You said: "The girls go to the inner room to rest, it is warmer there." ”

Jia Min and Mrs. Shi Ding both nodded, Shi Xiangyun grabbed Daiyu's side in a few steps, pulled her arm and said, "Sister Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." (To be continued......)
