Chapter 221: Returning to the Province (5 - Final)

Once the sisters' favorite part of poetry is over, the next step is to watch the play.

The stage is set up under the Grand View Tower, which can be seen from the Gu En Siyi Palace. The drama on the stage is the twelve girls that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang brought down to Suzhou to buy last time.

For most of the year, they lined up 16 plays specifically to welcome the concubine. But tonight, Yuan Chun only ordered four out.

There's nothing too special about the play, it's just little girls. The only thing worth mentioning is that the girl who sang Xiaodan made everyone's eyes light up as soon as she appeared on the stage.

It's not that she is so miserable, a teenage girl, how beautiful can she be? The key is that her makeup, coupled with her delicate and delicate appearance, looks like Lin Daiyu......

This made the people who watched the play happy.

When Lin Daiyu saw it at first glance, she was also shocked that this Xiao Dan was similar to herself, and she also thought it was funny and interesting.

But then she saw Wang Xifeng and others talking to each other, and she suddenly became suspicious:

The group must have been laughing at me, saying that I looked like a playman......

Therefore, pull the little face slightly, and remain calm and do not speak.

Wang Xifeng, Yingchun and others were originally hindered by Yuan Chun being the leader, so they didn't dare to laugh at will, but just whispered something. Seeing Daiyu's appearance at this time, it was naturally even more difficult to say, and it slowly stopped.

Jia Baoyu saw all this in his eyes, and he felt that with his "face" in front of Daiyu, he should be able to break this matter, not only to have fun, but to dispel Daiyu's suspicions. No matter how sensitive Daiyu is, she will never doubt herself...... This one is very uncertain!

However, Jia Baoyu finally chose to shut up.

Without him, Daiyu had just been hurt by him once, how could he bear to poke her mind at this time. With the concubine by her side tonight, she won't bother her face no matter what, even if she has any grievances and dissatisfaction, she can only hide it in her heart.

It's okay to change the scene.

Fortunately, Yuan Chun didn't know much about Daiyu's usual demeanor, she just felt that Xiao Dansheng was weak and beautiful, and her singing skills were very good, and she liked it very much.

So after the four plays were sung, she ordered someone to call that Xiaodan in.

After a while the girl came into the hall, and by this time she had no crown on her head, but her makeup had not yet gone.

Yuan Chun saw that her eyebrows were frowning, her eyes were autumn, her face was thin and her waist was slender, and she was a delicate girl, so she asked:

"What's your name?"

"Ling Guan."

"How old are you?"

"Ten years old."

Only 10 years old......

Yuan Chun thought about it, and he was more merciful in his heart, so he ordered her to reward her with two pieces of money, and asked Mrs. Wang: "In the future, I will have a good upbringing, don't embarrass them."

Mrs. Wang responded.

So Yuan Chun smiled at her again: "Pick up your best play and sing two more."

Ling Guan was ordered to go down and prepare.

After the two more plays were sung, Yuan Chun saw that the third watch had passed, and he knew that there was not much time left. I was very attached to my heart, and I didn't know how to express it, there were still many places in the Garden of Thought that I had never been lucky, so I asked Jia Baoyu: "I see that there are still a few undulating places in the east, I haven't been there before, I don't know what scenery can be on them?"

Jia Baoyu didn't know how Yuan Chun was in his mood now, he only thought about it and replied: "There are a few Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the east, if my sister is interested, my younger brother will take my sister to have a look."

"Okay." Yuan Chun immediately got up.

So a group of people went out of the Gu En Siyi Palace, went east, crossed the Qinfang Gate Bridge, and came to the east of the Grand View Garden.

There are many mountains here, as Jia Baoyu said, there are several nunnery Buddhist temples in it.

Yuan Chun only took a look, but when she arrived at a place called Dharma Nunnery, she saw the solemn Buddha statue, and wanted to worship the Buddha.

So they retreated, and waited outside.

Except for a few people, most of the people who accompanied them were unfamiliar with this side, and they couldn't help but walk around to observe at this time.

Jia Baoyu was no exception, he walked a few steps at random, and looked at the statues of gods everywhere in a strange way. Just thinking about whether these statues really represented a god, he suddenly stretched out a hand in the shadows and dragged him into the corner.

Jia Baoyu was startled, but with amazing perseverance, he didn't say anything.

Then he was glad he didn't say anything.

As a soft body snuggled into his arms, he knew who it was just by the scent and the scent.

This goblin is so bold that he dares to hook up with him in such a place!

But seeing that the nunnery was no brighter than the rest of the world, he understood why she had chosen this place.

Because there are really few other places.

……

Yuan Chun didn't stay in the Dharma Nunnery for a while before leaving.

She asked her personal female officer Baoqin for the hour, and after a silent calculation in her heart, she had no intention of going any further, and ordered to return to the main hall.

In another nunnery, only about 200 steps away from the Dharma Nunnery, the little nun Miaoyu asked her maid, "Are they coming?"

The maid went out to explore again, and came back and said, "I heard from their people that the concubine has returned to the main hall, and I'm afraid she won't come again."

When Miaoyu heard this, she was silent for a long time, and said, "Since this is the case, let them not have to wait, and put out the tea stove."

When the maid heard this, she did as she was told.

The Nunnery is the best nunnery in the Grand View Garden, but it only houses her and their young lady, as well as the other two young lady's attendants, which is indeed deserted.

When they heard that the concubine might be coming, their young lady immediately prepared the best tea for reception, but who knows, she didn't come in the end......

……

After Yuan Chun returned to the main hall, he ordered the eunuchs to carry all the rewards and other things into the hall. Then a eunuch presented a brief verse, and after Yuan Chun read it, he confirmed that it was correct, and ordered to reward it according to the subtle verse.

This is the meaning of the question.

When the imperial concubine goes home, it can be regarded as returning to her parents' home. In addition, it is a festive season, so it is natural to give gifts to everyone in the family.

Gold and silver satin, royal wine money, jewelry, four treasures of the study, and so on, are innumerable.

Jia's mother is the most important, followed by Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng, Jia Yu, and Mrs. Xing, the sisters and Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan are second, and the rest Jia Zhen and Jia Lian are second...... In this way, the weight of the gift is distributed.

and hundreds of dollars were given to the servants and maids of the house. And a thousand taels of silver, to be given to the stewards, and the servants, and the playwrights, and so on, in all the gardens.

As soon as the reward was completed, the eunuch in charge immediately came in and said: "The ugly hour has arrived at three o'clock, please return to the palace with the concubine Niang Luan!"

When Yuan Chun heard this, he immediately burst into tears.

Jia Mu and the others also couldn't cry and couldn't bear to leave.

Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more so cold...... Lantern Festival!

Yuan Chun saw that Jia Mu and the others were sad, and he forced a smile on his face: "Don't worry, if you are graceful today, you are allowed to enter the interior once a month to introspect, and it is very easy to meet......

If tomorrow is the grace of heaven, he is still allowed to return to the province, and then he can meet again, but he must not be as extravagant as he is today. ”

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang nodded while crying when they heard this.

Jia Baoyu was also infected, and he stepped forward and said: "Sister doesn't have to be sad, the ancestors and wives in the family are taken care of by me on behalf of my sister, and it is the same as my sister at home."

In the future, the younger brother can also often visit his sister in the palace.

Hehe, don't hide it from my sister, now my brother has a lot of people under him, if anyone in the palace dares to be disrespectful to my sister, or don't give my sister face, my sister just tell my younger brother, and my younger brother will bring someone to help you clean her up! ”

"Okay, my sister remembers your words." Although he knew that Jia Baoyu's last words were funny, Yuan Chun was also very relieved to hear it.

Not to mention who dares to bully her in the palace, it is true, Jia Baoyu is a foreign minister, does he really dare to lead troops to help her support her?

Because he looked at Jia Baoyu, he seemed to want to engrave him deeply in his mind.

Eventually, she knew that she could not stay longer, so she finally glanced at the people in the hall, and in the midst of their bowing, she boarded up.
