Chapter Eighty-Three: Provincial Relatives
In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here.
From the eighth day of the first lunar month, eunuchs arrived in Jiafu to teach the province to be suitable.
Where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to feast, where to retreat.
Inspect the local prime minister and guard the eunuchs, and bring many small eunuchs.
Among the provincial relatives, all the guards and shields need to be carefully arranged, and the personnel of the Jia house are instructed where to enter and exit, where to eat, and where to announce all kinds of rituals.
Each has his own manners, and he must not be confused.
Basically, they all follow the old system of Dayan, according to the etiquette of the concubine of the king of Shu, but after Lin Zhengyang's slight instruction, it was slightly changed and modified according to the etiquette of the imperial concubine.
Now that Dayan exists in name only, no one dares to pursue such a transgression.
In addition, there is also the army of city defense to clean the streets, driving out idlers to avoid collisions.
Jia Yudang also hired craftsmen to set up lanterns, prepare fireworks, and wait for the affairs of relatives.
To the fifteenth five drums, from Jia's mother and other lords, all according to the quality of the makeup.
The tent in the park dances the dragon, and the curtain is embroidered
Phoenix, gold and silver glow, jewelry shines, the fragrance of lilies is burned, the bottle is inserted into the stamen of periwinkle, and no one coughs quietly.
Jia Yu and other adults, waiting on the street of Ximen, Jia's mother was still waiting outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion because of her noble rank, and she never went too far.
At the entrance of the streets and alleys, each is blocked by a curtain.
Every few dozen steps, a soldier stands in case of an emergency.
The group waited early, and they didn't wait for a long time, only a little eunuch came on horseback, came down and drank tea, only to know that it turned out to be after nightfall, and asked for a will to go out of the palace.
On this day, Jia's mother led the women of the mansion to wait outside the gate, and Jia Yu led the men of the mansion to wait on the street.
Every hour or two, there were always several groups of people who arrived, and many things were added one after another, and many more eunuchs were served.
Jia Huan was standing in the male queue, one row behind, and Jia Cong was on the side.
Jia Baoyu, the phoenix man, was actually taken out alone at this time, standing next to Jia Zheng, and his face was raised.
From time to time, I can still hear him talking about "sister and sister".
Jia Huan watched coldly and didn't care much.
From dawn, he stood until noon, and from noon to evening.
You can take occasional breaks in between, but most of the time you need to stand as a sign of respect.
"Jiafu's luck is starting to boil."
Jia Huan had already sensed something, took the time, looked at the direction of Jiafu's mansion, and squinted his eyes slightly.
In the distant sky, in a red haze, the faint clouds gathered above Jiafu seemed to be connected, all dyed red, bright and dripping, like burning clouds.
There is a large yellow cloud in the center, which is also constantly boiling.
Only a small group of condensed green qi was gradually fluctuating, and began to flutter, wisps and escaping outward.
The slightest trace of green gas, dispersed into mist-like green smoke, fluttering, and gradually put into front of Jia Baoyu.
There seemed to be an invisible whirlpool there, and these thin green qi suddenly disappeared as soon as they got close.
"Today is the peak of Jiafu's luck in recent years, if there is no Jia Baoyu to make a ghost, although the luck will go downhill, it can continue to continue, at least within a generation."
"It's a pity that this guy is a bottomless pit, I don't know how much luck to fill in, and I just don't get full."
Jia Huan's Qi Hope Technique is not very good, it is just some spiritual benefits that he gradually gained after cultivating the Fa, and he has never concentrated on practicing similar methods.
Fortunately, the Xuanjun Secret Sutra has many extraordinary features, just some annotations about the scriptures between the lines, which also made him realize many wonderful uses.
At that moment, he touched his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and prayed silently, and repeatedly called the name of Xuanjun God.
After seven times, he suddenly opened his eyes again, and a little golden light flowed in his eyes.
When you look at the past, you can see that everyone around you has turned into black and white portraits, and there are only black and white colors in the world.
On the top of the head and on both shoulders, there are three bright fires each, and the top is surrounded by rare red, yellow and blue clouds, which are especially conspicuous in the black and white background.
It's just that after a while, the mana gradually begins to fade, and the black and white colors in front of me begin to fade away, returning to their original colors.
While the effect of the spell was still there, Jia Huan hurriedly went to see Jia Baoyu, and swept past Jia Zheng, who had blue and yellow qi on the top, and saw a colorful glow.
Blinded by the glow, in the piercing eyes, Jia Huan was stimulated by this, tears rolled down, and he hurriedly lowered his head and covered it with his sleeves, but he was very surprised in his heart:
"Jia Baoyu's luck is blocked by the glow, and he can't see it at all, but he hasn't seen this scene when he used other methods to spy on it before."
After settling down, he groaned a little in his heart, and he had a guess:
"I think it's because the previous method was too superficial, so it was easily confused, and I couldn't know what it was."
"Today, I have recently realized this method, with the blessing of Xuanjun's holy power, I can see the true nature of the world, so I can see the protection imposed by the people behind the scenes."
"But in this way, it is a leak········ Jia Baoyu's raft, as well as that piece of jade, must be plotting Jiafu's luck. ”
Combined with the fact that he had seen this body a few times before, Jia Baoyu's temperament changed several times after losing Baoyu, and Jia Huan realized something in his heart:
“······· That piece of treasure jade may also have some arrangements of the people behind the scenes, which can change Jia Baoyu's temperament, so that he is content to be in the inner house, not to help fame and fortune, and not to take the role of officialdom. ”
"I think it's because of the danger of officialdom, once you enter it, when you encounter difficulties, you will inevitably lose your nobility and consume your own life, and then you will inevitably have to use your family luck to resolve the disaster, which will hinder the people behind the scenes to seek the nobility of Jiafu······ On the contrary, it is Jia Baoyu, who is a gentleman, who does not take the imperial examination, does not enter the office, and is useless, but does not need to consume too much luck to save his life in the officialdom. ”
After all, Jia Huan was a figure who had wrestled with a large number of top literati in the Three Kingdoms era, and although he later failed, this experience also made him instinctively sharpened.
immediately sneered a few times:
"I don't know that before you plotted, I still had scruples, for fear that it would really anger the Illusory Realm, attract involvement, and expose my identity."
"But right now, seeing you behaving like this, if you want to push everyone in Jiafu to death, then I have no scruples."
"How about Jiafu, I have nothing to do with it, but now the identity I have seized is among them, and Jiafu should have my share of luck········ If I have taken away the luck of Jiafu, won't I also take away the ancestral property that I can inherit in the future? ”
"How can it be as you wish?"
Jia Huan raised his fingers, put them between his lips, and said silently:
"Huh."
Suddenly, a sachet on his chest was slightly hot.
The thin green gas like mist that had drifted past him was intercepted by him and submerged in his chest.
There was a faint blue light on his chest, but he covered it with wide sleeves, lowered his shoulders, and covered it with the bodies of the few people in front of him.
He was shorter, and no one noticed it for a while.
"This small seal is a high-grade jade that I recently found, and it took six hundred and seventy taels to buy, it is already full of spiritual energy, not an ordinary product, carved into a seal, but it is much better than the last time that the ink jade seal can absorb green energy."
Qingqi is extravagant, and it is difficult to see it when you are idle.
Just the slightest trace of green qi absorbed at this moment is enough to make a white body rise to the top and reach the fifth grade.
This kind of luck, the previous poor materials, can no longer be afforded, only by finding this spirit jade, can it be absorbed.
