Since the palace is allowed to play the provincial concubine, there are eunuchs who come out on the eighth or ninth day of the first month, and see: where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, where to retreat, etc.

There are also inspections of local prime ministers and eunuchs, etc., bringing many small eunuchs, setting up guards everywhere outside the two mansions, blocking curtains, and instructing the people in Jia's house where to kneel, where to post, and so on.

In addition, officials from the Ministry of Industry and personnel from the Five Cities Terracotta Division cleaned the streets and expelled idlers.

It wasn't until the evening of the 14th that all of this stopped. On this day, the people in Jiafu almost never slept.

On the second day, that is, on the fifteenth day of five drums, Jia Mu, Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhen, You Shi, Jia Baoyu and several other officials in the clan all wore and made up according to their products. The rest were all dressed up.

At this time, the sky is not yet bright, if you look down on Ningrong and the two mansions from the air, you can only see the lights are bright, illuminating half of the sky.

The garden layout is even more solemn and splendid. The tent dances the dragon, the bead curtain shows the phoenix, the gold and silver are colorful, and the jewelry shines. The fragrance of the lily is burned, and the stamen of the periwinkle is inserted in the bottle.

Quietly do not smell a cough.

The streets and alleys have been covered with purple-red curtains. Jia Zheng and others waited outside West Street, and Jia Mu waited outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

After waiting for a long time, I suddenly heard that the eunuch came to spread that Yuan Chun would not be able to get up until after dusk.

Everyone was stunned.

Then Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others went back to rest, but Wang Xifeng was left alone to take care of everything in the garden.

Wang Xifeng is an active character, she happily accepted the order, and was busy letting the steward lead the eunuchs to eat wine and dinner, and at the same time instructed the servants to pick and cut lamps, candles, fireworks, take care of utensils, etc., and she was also happy.

Jia Baoyu also took a day off today and waited for Yuanchun at home.

However, he was not as pious as Jia Zheng and the others, and after they dispersed, they all gathered in Rongxi Hall and waited obediently, not even daring to speak loudly, one by one like a stuffy gourd.

Therefore, he found an opportunity and went to Jia Mu's side.

However, when he arrived at Rongqing Hall, he found that it was the same place as Rongxi Hall, which was quiet and quiet. Everyone just sat and drank tea, and occasionally gossiped a word or two, even when he came over, Jia Mu and the others just nodded their heads.

Today's protagonist is not him.

Jia Baoyu found a stool and sat next to Daiyu and the others.

Daiyu is like Sanchun and others today, with a brocade robe and a golden hairpin, dressed gorgeously, adding a bit of beauty. It's just that his expression is a little sad, Jia Baoyu leaned over and asked with a smile, "But you're tired?"

Last night, all the masters of Rongguo Mansion almost didn't rest, and Daiyu was naturally no exception. Then he began to dress up in the early hours of the morning, and stood at the gate for an hour or two, and no one felt tired.

It's just that the concubine went home to save her relatives, what a glorious thing? It's tired, and everyone is willing.

Hearing this, Daiyu raised her crystal bright eyes, glanced at Jia Baoyu, and did not speak.

"Big sister can only go home after dusk, it's two or three hours away from now, it's better to let Zijuan send you back to rest, and I'll call you later, and it won't be a mistake."

Daiyu's expression moved, but after looking at the solemn atmosphere around her, she still shook her head and refused.

At this time, she should not be a maverick and let those people gossip.

Seeing that Daiyu shouldn't, Jia Baoyu has his own way. He got up and walked to Jia's mother's side and proposed, "Ancestor, in my opinion, why don't everyone go back to the house and rest for a while."

If you keep sitting and waiting here, it won't be good to wait until the evening to lose your energy. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she glanced at Daiyu and the others, and asked Mandarin Duck again: "What time is it?"

"Back to the old lady, it's the beginning of the year."

Jia Mu thought about it and said to everyone: "That's it, what he said is right, it's not good to just sit and wait like this."

Besides, one disease after another, the weak and the weak, can't stand it. ”

After saying this, Jia Mu said to Sanchun: "You all go to your sister Lin's house to rest for a while, and come back in an hour, just remember, don't spoil your clothes and makeup, and it will take a lot of effort to change and make up when the time comes."

Sister Sanchun waited for the others, you look at me, I look at you, and finally stood up, saluted with the elders, and prepared to retire.

"Bao girl, go with them."

Aunt Xue glanced at Baochai, who was sitting upright, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about her."

Mother Jia shook her head, and actually smiled wittily: "There is no reason for them to go down to rest and we can sit, if Mrs. Aunt doesn't dislike it, stay with me, and the two of us will be companions." The others, Zhu's daughter-in-law will arrange it. ”

Mother Jia said and glanced at You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again.

Mrs. Wang said in time: "In this case, let her come to my house, don't disturb the old lady."

She's here to save her sister. Who is Ren's daughter-in-law, who can still "rest" in front of her mother-in-law?

Although Aunt Xue is not Jia's mother's daughter-in-law, as her daughter-in-law's younger sister and junior, she naturally can't make a mistake in front of Jia's mother.

Jia Mu didn't force her to stay, smiled, and ordered everyone to disperse.

"Sister Bao, let's go, let's go to Sister Lin's house."

Yingchun Tanchun stepped forward and pulled up Baochai.

Baochai glanced at Daiyu. Daiyu moved a step slightly, also pulled Baochai, and said with a sweet smile: "Sister Bao~"

Baochai smiled and nodded.

......

As night fell, Ningrong Street returned to solemnity.

Jia Zheng led the men of the He clan to stand outside the West Street, and Jia's mother led the women of the clan to stand outside the gate to greet him.

Finally, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and after a while, I saw more than a dozen eunuchs panting and playing handboards.

The eunuchs on both sides of the eunuch were all aware of this, and they all said, "Coming, coming."

Sure enough, not long after, a pair of eunuchs in red robes rode to the gate of West Street and dismounted, drove the horses out of the screen, and stood with their hands down and facing west. When he was young, he was a couple again, and after more than a dozen pairs came, Fang faintly heard the sound of drumming.

The people in Jiafu, who were originally looking forward to it, immediately lowered their heads and held their breath when they heard the sound of this music.

As the sound of drums got closer and closer, I finally saw a pair of eunuchs and palace maids holding aloft dragons, palace fans, pheasant feathers and other royal objects into Ningrong Street, and then carried the gold incinerator, and there was a faint incense mist on it.

After that, it was sheng, drums, suona, etc......

When all these honor guards passed, Fang saw a crank seven phoenix golden umbrella coming majestically, followed by a gold-topped bright yellow Xiufeng Luan Yu was carried over by eight red-clothed eunuchs.

Led by Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, everyone knelt down to greet them.

Jia Baoyu is naturally no exception, and the difference is that Jia Zheng, Jia Yu, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others knelt down, and eunuchs rushed to help. Jia Baoyu and the others only knelt honestly, and only got up after Yuanchun's Luan Yu entered the Ningguo Mansion, and followed Jia Mu and the others into the mansion in turn.

Yuan Chungui is a noble concubine, representing royal decency.

Therefore, even if it is a provincial relative, the national gift must be mentioned first. All processes and rules are in charge of the eunuchs and female officials in the palace, and Jiafu can only listen and not interfere.

Therefore, after Yuanchun entered the mansion, Jia Zheng and others only had to wait in Rongxi Hall.

However, it is natural to keep an eye on Yuanchun's movements at any time.

After Yuanchun entered the house, he first changed his clothes in the "Tiren Mude" hall, and then went to the garden.

After entering the park, go down to the boat and board the boat, only to see the cigarette smoke in the garden, the flowers are colorful, the lights are reflected everywhere, and the sound of fine music is noisy from time to time.

really rendered the peaceful scene, wealth and elegance of Jiafu at this time to the extreme.

Yuan Chun sighed in his heart. In order to welcome her back to the province, Jiafu built this garden, which was too luxurious.

Silently watching the garden for a while, she looked at all kinds of different and beautiful scenery in the Grand View Garden in Huifang Creek and Daguan Garden, and slightly changed the names of a few places that she felt were undesirable or not in line with the royal system.

For example, the "Tateting Flowers" will be changed to flowers, and the archway before the main building Grand View Garden will be changed from "Tianxian Treasure Land" to provincial villas.

Then enter the palace, but see the court burning, fire trees and silver flowers, golden windows and jade thresholds. It is not enough to say that the curtain rolls the shrimp whiskers, the blanket is paved with colorful shows, the fragrance of musk brains floats in the ding, and the fans of pheasant tails are lined up.

Is:

Kinmen Yuhu Immortal Mansion, Guidian Lan Palace Concubine's house!

Yuan Chun saw that there were inscriptions everywhere in the garden, but there was no one here, so he asked: "Why is there no plaque in this hall?"

The eunuch knelt down and said: "This is the main hall, and the foreign ministers did not dare to plan it."

Yuan Chun nodded silently, and since then he has realized the difference between himself and his family, even if he goes home to save his relatives, it will be difficult to return to the boudoir.

With sadness in his heart but unable to express it, Yuan Chun had to be silent, and with the support of Zhaorong and Caiping, he entered the main hall.
