Jia's mother and others were greeted by the big makeup, first to the Jiayin Hall of the Grand View Garden, after the tea was finished, and then went out to the Rongqing Hall to worship the birthday and enter the table. The upper two seats are the concubines of Nan'an and the concubines of Beijing, the lower ones are the orders of the princes, the left hand seat is the Jinxiang Hou and Lin'an Bo, and the right hand seat is the old lady.

  Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others led Li Kun, Xifeng and the women of several clans to stand behind the old lady with goose wings to serve, Lin Zhixiao led all the daughters-in-law to wait outside the bamboo curtain to serve food and wine, and Zhou Rui's family led a few maids to wait behind the screen. For a while, the stage participated in the scene, and the little people who did not leave their heads were waiting in the audience, holding the play list and letting them play.

  After some humility, Concubine Nan'an and Princess Beijing were both ordered. When the time was young, the banquet was over, and the reward was also released, and everyone changed their clothes and entered the garden again, offering good tea, and Concubine Nan'an asked, "Why don't you see Baoyu?" The old lady said with a smile, "Today, in several temples, the 'Security Extension Sutra' was recited, and he knelt down." ”

  Concubine Beijing asked again, "Why don't you see that child Daiyu?" Knowing that I came, I didn't even take a picture of my face? The old lady said busily, "With her sisters, her sisters are sick, weak, and shy, so I asked them to help me watch the house, and called a small play, and accompanied her aunt's sisters over there to watch the play!" ”

  Concubine Nan'an said, "In that case, let her come and meet with her sisters." How can there be a reason why we are here, and she is still hiding? ”

  The old lady ordered Xifeng to call Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Xiangyun, Baoqin and Baochai together. Xifeng came here, Daiyu listened to it, and remembered that at this time of "Dream of Red Mansions", it was the Nan'an princess who took a fancy to Tanchun, and later the king of Nan'an County lost the battle in the South China Sea and was taken captive by the other party.

  Daiyu said, "Sister Feng, according to my wishes, the third sister will not go for the time being, she has now made a marriage, and if she shows up like this, it will make people speak badly." ”

  Xifeng ordered it because the old lady ordered the spring visit, if she didn't go, it would be difficult to explain. But since it was Daiyu's meaning, she was happy to do this favor, and said with a smile, "Oh, we didn't think about it well, it's this reason, the third sister has wronged you, stay in the boudoir!" ”

  Tanchun said, "Sister Feng, your mouth will not be buried by others for a day, and you will be uncomfortable for a day!" ”

  Everyone laughed for a while, except for Tanchun, they all came to the garden, everyone saw it, Concubine Beijing beckoned, and called Daiyu over, "I heard that you entered the palace and went to see Niangniang, it happened that you came out, and I also went in, but unfortunately I didn't see it." ”

  Daiyu smiled, "I came out a little late, why did you go in at that time?" ”

  Concubine Beijing said, "I came out from the Queen Mother's side, and I just passed, and it was a little late." ”

  Over there, Concubine Nan'an was talking to her because she was familiar with Xiangyun, "I'm here, you won't come to see you, I'm going to talk to your uncle another day." He pulled Yingchun and Xichun again, and saw the Baochai sisters again, saying that all of them were good, and prepared a gift, but there was no Daiyu, and said, "Horizontal and vertical mine, you can't look down on it, I didn't expect that there are so many girls in your family for a while, and you will be missing." ”

  Daiyu smiled, the gift was just a few rings, wrist incense beads, it was worth nothing, it was given to her, who was she good to give the maid to, and who was not good to give it? It's better not to, so he smiled and said, "There are many girls in my grandfather's family, no matter how many there are, I can't top one of Zhu Li, I went into the palace before, and the ladies also asked if they had seen the county lord, I said that I had seen it, if it comes to characters, appearances, there is no one who has seen her again, and the ladies also said that since it is such a character, it is necessary to see it." Only today, why didn't the concubine bring it over to play? So that our little sisters are also close and close together? ”

  Concubine Nan'an couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry on her face, and snorted coldly, but Concubine Beijing smiled and said, "Good boy, where do you know the concubine's heart?" The prince of the county now has that one baby under his knees, where is he willing to bring it out? ”

  As he was talking, Yan Duo in the palace came, and brought the will of the saint, and the group had to go out to kneel to pick up the car, only saying that Jia Mu was celebrating the 80th anniversary, and His Majesty rewarded 1,000 taels of silver, 20 tribute satins, ten farts of cloud brocade, a bottle of gold vase pearl flower tree scene, a set of blue and white December flower pattern cups, a brown glaze painted tiger-shaped pillow, a pair of alum red color gantene pattern bottles, and a handle of jade Ruyi.

  was able to ask the emperor to reward the jade Ruyi, and everyone gave the old lady a look of envy. Yan Duo finished reading the gift list, and a venerable gift was brought up and placed on the middle hall, and everyone congratulated one after another, and the old lady was already full of joy.

  Yan Duo exchanged a few words with the old lady, found Daiyu in the crowd, stepped forward to salute, and said, "The mother asked the slave to tell the girl when she saw the girl, and told the girl that she wanted to invite the girl into the palace to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don't know if it is inconvenient?" ”

  Daiyu smiled, "How inconvenient? Everything is arranged by the mother! ”

  Only then did everyone know that Yan Duo was actually from Jing'an Palace, and was sent by His Majesty to announce the decree, and the meaning was obvious. Before Yan Duo left, the people of Fengzao Palace came and rewarded two hundred taels of silver, two yarns, two Luo, two palace satin, one fragrant Ruyi, one agate pillow, and the other wife and Baoyu all had their own rewards.

  For a while, everyone from the palace left, and Concubine Nan'an and Concubine Beijing also said that they were leaving. The old lady still stayed, and Concubine Nan'an said politely, "If you don't come today, you really can't do it, so I have to say goodbye first." The old lady had no choice but to send her out.

  Concubine Beijing still stayed to talk to Daiyu, and asked her how the house was on the eighth master's side, Daiyu said that it was adjacent to the Zhongshun Mansion and the Beijing County Palace, and the Concubine Beijing smiled and said, "This dare is good, I will visit the door in the future, and I will arrive as soon as I cross the wall." ”

  Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Lin Anbo smiled, "I don't know when the eighth master will move?" ”

  Daiyu smiled and shook her head, "I don't know about him, let's look at the days of Qin Tian's accounting, or His Majesty's will." Before entering the palace, Niangniang also said that a few places to change, I don't know what day it is, I am looking for the left is just which auspicious day after the year and the year. ”

  Mrs. Jinxiang Hou just asked, "Our eldest son is full moon, and I invite the girl to play, but I don't know why, the girl didn't appreciate her face, so I said how did I offend the girl and make the girl have a dislike with us?" Turn, the third daughter-in-law of our family is still sisters with the girl! ”

  Because Daiyu didn't know Mrs. Jinxianghou, Concubine Beijing pointed out to her and said instead of Daiyu, "Don't complain about this child, if it weren't for me being here today, she wouldn't even be able to get here." She is a person to be married, where can she run around? Don't talk about your family, my daughter-in-law had a birthday at my house ago, she didn't enter the door and knew the child too, said invite her to come, I said don't invite her as soon as possible, you invite her not to come for fear of offending you, come and gossip. ”
