When it came to the five drums, everyone in Jiafu went down from Jia's mother, and all those who had titles and orders were dressed in big makeup according to their grades.

Everywhere in the courtyard, the tent dances the dragon, the curtain flies and the colorful phoenix, the gold and silver glow, the jewelry competes for brilliance, the incense of the lily is burned, and the stamen of the bottle is inserted.

Jia Yu led all the men from Ningrong and Rongfu to wait outside the gate of West Street, and Jia's mother led a woman from the two mansions to wait outside the gate of Rongfu.

After waiting for more than an hour, when everyone was waiting impatiently, they suddenly saw a eunuch coming on horseback, and Jia Mu hurriedly ordered someone to enter and ask for news.

The eunuch said: "It's still early, I just had a meal at the beginning of the time, and I didn't go to the Baoling Palace to worship the Buddha at the second moment, and I entered the Daming Palace to receive the banquet at the beginning of the unitary moment, and when I saw the lights, I asked for the order, but I was afraid that I would move at the beginning of the time." ”

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "In this case, the old lady and the wife, please go back to the room to rest, and when the time comes, it will not be too late to come again." ”

So Jia's mother and Wang Fu went back to the house to rest first, and everything in the garden was handed over to Wang Xifeng to take care of.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly ordered the deacons to lead the eunuchs to eat wine and dinner, and when it was time to unite, he ordered people to bring in a load of candles and light lamps everywhere.

At three o'clock, Concubine Xiande's guard of honor arrived at the West Street Gate.

Jia Yu led the children and nephews of the He clan outside the gate of West Street, and Jia's mother led the daughters of the He clan to greet them outside the gate.

First, there were bursts of music, and then six pairs of dragon and phoenix curtains, pheasant feathers came into view, and then there were eunuchs carrying the gold furnace, which burned the imperial incense, and then a crank seven phoenix golden umbrella came over, and there were eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargles, dust, etc.

After a group of people, eight eunuchs carried a gold-topped golden embroidered phoenix plate, slowly walked to the gate of the Rong Mansion and stopped.

Jia Yuan in the golden and yellow embroidered phoenix version of the golden top, his heart is extremely complicated, excited, joyful, apprehensive, grievances, etc., all kinds of threads are intertwined, and tears are directly vented.

She was busy holding back her crying and ordered someone to help Shi Taijun, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing up.

Then he entered the gate by the edition, passed the Yi Gate, and once again entered the most familiar, comfortable, unforgettable, and dreaming of the most nightly place, Jia Yuan couldn't hold back anymore, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

Since the moment she left home seven years ago, she knew that once she went, it would be difficult to come back, and she didn't expect that after many years, she would be able to return to the place where her dreams lingered.

When he arrived at the door of the other courtyard, Jia Yuan was worried that his appearance would be damaged, so he was busy wiping away his tears while restraining his thoughts.

Before long, the eunuchs dispersed, and the palace maid led Jia Yuan down.

Jia Yuan looked up and saw that all kinds of lanterns in the courtyard were burning, all of which were tied with yarn and silk, which was very exquisite, and there was a plaque on it with the words 'Tiren Mude'.

After changing clothes, Jia Yuan rearranged his makeup, and then walked out of the courtyard and entered the garden.

I saw the cigarette smoke in the garden, the flowers were colorful, the lights reflected everywhere, the music was noisy from time to time, the endless peaceful weather, the wealth and elegance.

Seeing such a scene in the garden, Jia Yuan was not half happy in his heart, but sighed secretly, although he has the name of a concubine, but he has no grace, and it is not a good thing to spend so much luxury at home for some false fame.

Embark on the boat under the public opinion, see the clear stream area again, the momentum is like a swimming dragon, on the stone fence on both sides, all kinds of glass wind lamps are embellished on it, like silver flowers and snow waves, although the willow and apricot trees in the garden have no branches and leaves, but they are wrapped with silk paper silk, each tree hangs several lamps again, up and down to compete for brilliance, reflecting into the glass world.

The more I sighed in my heart, so laid out, what a huge cost, and my heart became heavier and heavier.

When I got to the front of the palace, I saw the words "fairy treasure realm" on the stone archway, and I was shocked, how could I afford these words, and I was busy changing people to the words "provincial villa".

Entering the palace, I saw that the court was burning empty, the incense crumbs were clothed, the fire trees were flowers, the golden windows and jade thresholds, and I saw the untitled plaque on the palace, so I asked: "Why is there no plaque?" ”

"This is right, and the foreign minister did not dare to plan it." The attendant eunuch replied.

Jia Yuan came to his senses when he heard this, and only the emperor could draw up a plaque, and then entered.

The ceremonial eunuch knelt and asked to ascend to the throne to receive the salute, and the two majesties were happy.

First, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and others lined up under the platform to see the salute, and after the ceremony, the eunuch led Jia Yu and others to retreat.

Later, Shi Taijun led his daughters from the east step to the platform to greet him, and retired after the ceremony.

The tea has been offered three times, Jia Yuan descended to the seat, and the music stopped.

Jia Yuan retreated to the side to change clothes, and then went out of the garden and came to Jia's mother's main room, where the connoisseur paid homage to Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Mu and the others hurriedly knelt down one after another, and they didn't dare to accept the salute.

Seeing this, Jia Yuan's eyes were full of tears and sadness, his relatives were close in front of him, but he couldn't see them, and it was difficult to get close, so he had to sit on the main seat and let Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang come up to meet one by one.

After the ceremony, Jia Yuan held Jia's mother with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other, and there were many words in his heart, but this scene, with the presence of palace maids and eunuchs, could not be exported.

Especially thinking that since entering the palace, he has been unable to help himself, although he has been promoted to the concubine, but the emperor has a cold attitude towards himself, the queen, Wu Guifei and others are very hostile, and the old lady pinched herself again, and she couldn't hold back for a while, whimpering and crying.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, one felt sorry for their granddaughter, and the other missed their daughter, and they couldn't help but whimper and cry.

Mrs. Xing, Li Kun, Wang Xifeng, and the third class also surrounded them, each crying without saying a word, and for a while, everyone in the room was crying and crying.

After a while, Jia Yuanqiang endured his sadness, tried to squeeze out a smile, and comforted Jia's mother and Wang Fuyang: "When you sent me to the place where I couldn't see me, I finally went home to see each other today, and instead of smiling, I started crying." I'll be there for a while, and I don't know how long it will take to come back! ”

At this point, it was even more difficult to feel self-conscious, and I choked up again, knowing that if I went, it would be difficult to come back.

Mrs. Xing, Li Kun and others hurriedly surrounded Yuan to comfort Yuan.

Shuji, when Yuan Xu improved, Jia Mu asked Yuan to return to his seat and let everyone meet one by one again, during which he cried again.

After stopping crying, Jia Yuan asked, "Why can't Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun be seen?" ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly replied: "They are all dependents, and they have no grade, so they dare not trespass." ”

After Jia Yuan heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to invite Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun.

Early this morning, Mother Jia ordered someone to take Daiyu over, and kept Daiyu by her side, until everyone entered just now, and Daiyu stayed outside.

Mrs. Wang was unwilling, but she received a letter from her brother Wang Ziteng, saying that she would use Daiyu to win over Lin Ruhai and Lu Jing, so that she must take Daiyu to Jia's house and meet the concubine.

Mrs. Wang had to endure the unhappiness in her heart, and worked together with Jia's mother to invite Daiyu several times to take Daiyu to Jia's house.

Shi Xiangyun was taken to the mansion by Jia's mother a few days ago.

Originally, the Shi family was reluctant to let Shi Xiangyun come to Jiafu for the New Year, but now Shi Xiangyun has reached the age of discussing relatives, but the Jia family has been dragging it out and does not give permission to the letter, and the Shi family intends to hang Jiafu, but Shi Xiangyun learned that Jia's mother sent someone to pick her up, so she couldn't wait to follow.

After the four of them finished saluting, Jia Yuan saw Daiyu's fairy appearance and temperament, Baochai's graceful and elegant manners, and Xiangyun Han exuded a heroic spirit, and he did not secretly admire in his heart, these three people are really different from other sisters.

Then Daiyu stepped forward and praised: "My sister is really a fairy-like lovely person, but unfortunately when my sister came, I was no longer in the house, and I couldn't see my sister earlier." ”

"Daiyu Puliu's posture, I really don't dare to be so praised as a mother!" Lin Daiyu replied cautiously, feeling a little uncomfortable with Yuan in her heart.

"Is Uncle okay?" Jia Yuan asked with a smile.

"My father is fine, Daiyu is my father, Xie Niangniang asked!" Lin Daiyu replied.

Seeing that Daiyu's words were estranged, Jia Yuan showed a sense of closeness: "They are all sisters, my sister doesn't have to see outside, my uncle and aunt treated me very well back then, and I had a lot of teaching grace, so it is inconvenient to see each other now, and I ask my sister to convey my gratitude for me." ”

Lin Daiyu knew her father's thoughts, and she didn't want to have too much to do with the Jia family, if it weren't for the implicit persecution of the Jia family this time, she wouldn't have come over, and she was a little alienated and wary of the Jia family in her heart.

For Yuan's overtures, he also politely refused: "Daiyu is young, although she has nothing to do, she has heard her father get up, Niangniang was extremely outstanding when she was young, unlike other sisters, Niangniang's glory today is all due to herself, her parents have been in Jiangnan for a long time, and she has not seen her mother for many years, and she has never mentioned this matter, so she really dare not be a mother to thank her!" ”

When Jia Yuan heard this, he felt a little lost in his heart, she was in a difficult situation in the palace, both the opponent made it difficult, and she was controlled by others everywhere, and the help in the family was limited.

It's just that now seeing Daiyushen cautious, his words are full of alienation, so he has to force a smile and say: "My sister lived in the house when she was young, and she was close to the old lady, wife, and sisters. ”

"The house is good to Daiyu, Daiyu is close!" Lin Daiyu nodded, and her words became more and more heartfelt.

Seeing this, Jia Yuan took off the red sandalwood rosary bracelet on his wrist, took Daiyu's hand, and put it on for her.

"I heard that my sister has been married, and I didn't congratulate me on the red makeup to be married tomorrow, but I happened to see my sister today, so I gave this string of prayer beads to my sister, and I congratulated my sister on finding a wishful husband!"

Lin Daiyu saw that Yuan personally put on a rosary for her, and it was not good to refuse directly, so she had to thank: "Daiyu thank Niangniang for her gift!" ”

When Jia's mother heard the conversation between Yuan and Daiyu, she felt secretly sad in her heart, especially the estrangement revealed in Daiyu's words, which made her a little sad, feeling that her granddaughter had changed, and she was no longer the granddaughter who was close to her.

When Mrs. Wang saw Daiyu's attitude towards Yuan, she was angry and secretly scolded Daiyu for being ungrateful and not knowing how to lift.

Then Jia Yuan and Baochai and Xiangyun each stepped forward and praised a few words.

Xue Baochai saw that Yuan just praised her casually, and her heart was a little gloomy, she thought that in addition to her family background, she was no worse than Daiyu in other places, but the treatment was very different.

Shi Xiangyun was also a little indignant in his heart, envious and jealous of why Daiyu could get the Yuan reward alone.

While several people were talking, Jia Zheng greeted him outside the curtain.

Jia Yuan saw through the curtain, and after saluting, he had the heart to remind Jia Zheng, but because of the surveillance of someone on the side, he had to say abruptly: "The house of the farmhouse, although it is made of salt and cloth, can finally gather the joy of Lun, although it is extremely rich and noble, but all parties have no interest." ”

Jia Zheng was shocked in his heart, and didn't understand why Yuan came out, these disrespectful words came, and he hurriedly said for him with tears: "Minister, the grass is reckless, among the doves and crows, how do you want to conquer the Rui of Fengluan, now the nobles are on Xi'en, and the ancestors are Zhaozude, which are all the essence of the mountains, rivers and moons, and the ancestors of the Yuande Zhong are in one person, fortunately and the political couple." ”

"And now the great virtue of the creatures of the earth, the grace that has not been seen in ancient and modern times, although the liver and brain are ruined, how can the courtiers be rewarded in case! However, if you are loyal to your duties, may I live a long life, and I will be fortunate to live a long life. The concubine must not think of the old age of the political couple, be indignant, and pray for self-cherishment. However, the industry is conscientious, diligent and cautious, and the servant is so considerate. ”

Jia Yuan was even more sad after hearing this, the emperor had no favor for himself, but he couldn't say this, so he had to say: "Only focus on state affairs, take care of it in your spare time, don't worry about it!" ”

Jia Zheng nodded, and then reported: "All the pavilions and pavilions in the garden are all inscribed by Baoyu. ”

When Jia Yuan heard that it was Baoyu's question, he had a smile on his face: "Sure enough, why didn't Baoyu come in?" “

"Without the decree of the mother, foreign men dare not trespass." Jia Mu hurriedly replied.

Jia Yuan was busy bringing in quickly, and the eunuch brought Baoyu in and finished the national salute.

Jia Yuanming Baoyu stepped forward, held it hand in his arms, stroked his neck and said with a smile: "It's much longer than before..."

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, and after Yuanxu improved, You Shi and Wang Xifeng stepped forward to report: "The banquet is complete, please have a good time." ”
