Chapter 16: Greed
The hall was full of women, surrounded by beads, fragrant temples and clouds, seeing Daiyu looking, Zhu Xiu smiled and whispered, "Girl, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is seated with the emperor in the Jingde Palace." ”
Daiyu then remembered that the eighth prince was about to do his filial piety by the side of the queen mother, and when he was seated, he naturally wanted to go to the front hall, after all, he was the prince.
Because it was a court, only those above a certain level could come in, and even fewer people could get a banquet. Most of the people in the palace are royal relatives, and then they are especially qualified in the eyes of nobles, there are not many people, and there are even fewer children.
Daiyu was really fortunate to sit at a table with the princesses. There are those who are older than her, and they are all taken care of by the grandmother. Zhuxiu also had to take care of Daiyu, but she politely refused, "Auntie, Jiaojiao will do it herself, don't bother your aunt." ”
Zhu embroidery did not dare to disobey, standing behind her, seeing that her every move is indeed quite orderly, although it is not very in line with the rules of the royal family, but there is a unique charm, which makes people look pleasing to the eye, and then they feel that the Lin family is worthy of several generations of nobles, and now it is from the imperial examination, and it is really the family of hairpins, the family of poetry.
After a banquet was used up, it was natural to leave the palace as soon as possible, but the Jia family was stayed, and the three of them were taken to Jing'an Palace, which was not far from here, and Concubine Rong gave a lot of good things, including more than a dozen horses of various colors of tribute satin, a set of Nanzhu heads, gold and silver are not counted, and said to Jia apologly, "I really shouldn't let you enter the palace today, and the two children have suffered a lot of sins in this cold weather." Speaking of which, you and I originally knew each other, and it was also an excellent handkerchief back then, if I hadn't entered the palace, you and I would have met often over the years, and I wouldn't know what to say when we meet now? ”
Jia knew that Concubine Rong didn't tell the truth, but she did have a deep friendship with Concubine Rong, and if it weren't for the fact that they had a lot of relationships later, they would really be a good pair of handkerchiefs.
"Niangniang is loving, the concubines are grateful, the two children are rough and thick-skinned, and being able to enter the palace is also a blessing from their previous life, and Niangniang doesn't have to worry about it." Jia Shi was in a trance for a while and said with a smile.
Concubine Rong couldn't help but sigh, twenty years have passed since the past, thinking of all these years, she has not been able to express her feelings, she is in the palace, and occasionally she can hear that Lin Yushi and Mrs. Flounder are in love, but she can't hear their good news, which also makes her very worried.
Fortunately, Daiyu was born, and now Lin'er has been added, so she took the opportunity to ask for the grace of the Queen Mother and let Jia take the child into the palace.
Daiyu didn't expect that Concubine Rong still had a friendship with her mother? Concubine Rong is not mentioned in the book, is it because, at the beginning of the chapter, the Jia family passed away, so that Concubine Rong could not be involved later?
Daiyu sat on the chair, gently swaying her two little short legs, folded her hands in front of her, and secretly looked at Concubine Rong, and could see that the eighth prince should have inherited Concubine Rong's beauty, if it weren't for the innate wisp of heroism between his eyebrows, it would really make people mistake him for a girl.
I don't know if I will be disabled when I grow up.
I don't know what Concubine Rong and Jia have experienced, the two talked for a while, but they looked at each other without saying a word, and refused to leave. Just sat sullenly for a while, the hour was really not early, and the front hall was almost scattered, seeing that the emperor was about to come, Concubine Rong asked people to send the three of the Jia family out.
The queen mother also gave a lot of gifts, and they were loaded with a full car, and someone in the palace helped send them out.
When he arrived at Jingde Gate, Lin Ruhai was already waiting, and the carriage at home was replaced with a new charcoal basin, which was burned warm, and he had just walked all the way, the cold on his body was a little heavy, and he sat in it for a while and his work eased up.
Lin Ruhai and his wife didn't know what was going on today's trip, so they came out safely, although they had palpitations, no one wanted to mention it.
Finally, when he was about to get home, Jia Shi asked, "Today in the palace, is the master okay?" ”
Lin Ruhai nodded, "Your Majesty specially summoned me, asked a few questions, and encouraged me." Father-in-law Xia made a special trip to arrange for me to sit at a table with several nobles of the Duke of the Kingdom, and met the eldest brother......"
Later, there was no further talk.
The eldest brother is Jia Yu, Daiyu glanced at his father, saw that his face was slightly tired, and knew that he was also frightened this time, and he had not recovered until now.
"We're okay in the harem, my sister is very well-behaved today." After a pause, Jia Shi said, "Concubine Rong was summoned later, and after talking for a while, the two palaces rewarded a lot of things. ”
I don't know what Lin Ruhai thought, he stretched out his hand and held Jia's hand, "As long as the two children can grow up safely, you and I will have no regrets." ”
"That's what the master said!"
In the Lin Mansion on South Street, the old lady and the others were not welcomed into the Songrui Hall as they wished, but were placed in the guest room. For this reason, the old lady scolded Lin Gui fiercely, and almost beat someone, but Lin Gui didn't let go, only said that the master was not there, and he didn't dare to snub the old lady and the like.
When Lin Ruhai and his wife came back, they also brought back a large cart of rewards, walked in front of the guest room door in a bright way, and were carefully carried in by the subordinates, and the old lady and others stood under the eaves of the porch, and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
I thought it was just to go in to congratulate, but the Lin family on North Street had never had such an opportunity, so naturally I didn't know how long it would take, and what the general process was, and I thought that this family, because of its humble position, would suffer a lot, who would have thought that it would get so many rewards?
Since they have already returned, the Jia family naturally wants to welcome the old lady and others to the main room, because it was given by the palace, so it is natural to put it away before putting it away. Seeing a large piece of resplendent gold, all kinds of treasures, those tribute satins can't be bought with more money on weekdays, and this side of North Street can't even take care of Lin Gui's snubbing before, and they can't stop marveling.
Zhou stroked a big red satin, and said to Pang Zi with a smile, "Sister-in-law, look at this satin, it's really slippery like water, it's not that I have a lot of mouths, if this satin is made into a wedding dress, keep the eldest sister's big day, my in-laws don't know how happy they are when they see it." It's better for you to beg the third brother and sister to let her give this horse to you, the fourth sister is young, and there are still many years before she leaves the pavilion. ”
When Jia Shi heard this, he was angry and a little angry. Pang Shi glared at Zhou fiercely, and knew in his heart that it was obviously Zhou himself who took a fancy to these tributes, so he would first pull the topic to the eldest sister. If she talks about herself, she just cares about it, and if she talks about her daughter, Pang Zi can't stand it.
