It's a pity that I feel that the provincial relatives are laborious and costly, only Jiang Yan is the only one, even if there is no dinner because of this matter, the others are still very excited and waiting for the arrival of the provincial relatives, and they can't just listen to them. The provincial family garden is not far from the Rongqing Hall, and soon the sound of silk and bamboo is gradually approaching, and the maids do not need to be ordered, immediately go to the yard to stand up, and see the golden umbrella cover and flags erected high in the distance, and the grandmother in the front yard walked in quickly, "Niangniang came in, hurry up and everyone kneel." "These are all rehearsals before, and the maids immediately knelt down in the direction of the provincial princess's garden, even if Concubine Jia didn't know what was going on here.

There were already eunuchs in Rongqing Hall who came to arrange first, and Mama still had to go to the front to wait, and she was busy and solemnly instructed them: "Niangniang is going to come here next after visiting the provincial courtyard, you can wake up tightly, you can't go to the front without summoning, and you are not allowed to stick your head out to poke your brain!" Seeing that the maids were obedient, they turned around and went forward.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard the movement of the large army coming here, they had already rehearsed the process a few times here, and after knowing that Concubine Jia had seen the female relatives of the family, it was time for them to go and meet them. Everyone nervously checked each other's clothes, for fear that something would be inappropriate, even Qingwen, who had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, was rarely a little nervous, and pulled Jiang Yan and said, "You quickly show me if the hair and clothes in the back are messy." ”

Jiang Yan looked behind her, "No, don't worry, it's the same as the one just combed, you can't see it from so far away, don't be nervous." ”

Qingwen still pulled Bijia away, "I also know I can't see us, but my heart just keeps beating." ”

The maids were nervous for a while, and finally someone came in front, still the previous grandmother, urging, "Hurry up and line up!" "The maids in Rongqing Hall are all under the leadership of Mandarin Ducks, in fact, the position is quite forward, but the people standing in front of them are all housekeepers and daughters-in-law with heads and faces, and across the hall, there is a bead curtain to cover it, so you can't see anything. Jiang Yan took advantage of the moment to kneel down and glanced inside, otherwise she had been busy for more than a year, and it would be a pity that she didn't even know what the protagonist looked like, but unfortunately she only vaguely saw a woman sitting upright in a bright yellow palace dress with a pearled head, and the rest would not be able to see clearly.

They were about to retreat after worshipping, and when they passed by the wing, they saw Aunt Xue, Baochai and Daiyu sitting inside, Jiang Yan glanced at Bi Jin next to her, "Why are Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xue here?" ”

Just now, Ying Ying Yu also saw several female dependents inside, but I didn't expect them to be among them.

Bi Jin just wanted to speak, but looked at the eunuchs lined up outside to guard, and was silent again. endured it until she returned to Qianyun Xuan before she spoke, "Aunt and Mrs. Xue, because they are relatives and have no orders to be with them, they can't go to see Niangniang directly, they have to wait for Niangniang to summon them." ”

After speaking, he asked the people around him, "Did you see what Niangniang looked like just now?" She said with annoyance, "I didn't even dare to look up, that row of eunuchs staring at it was too scary." ”

Of course, everyone said they didn't see it, "It's useless for you to look up through the curtain." ”

Obviously, there was no bead curtain when they rehearsed, and many people were disappointed in their hearts, thinking that they could take the opportunity to take a look, the rules in this palace are really many and strict.

They were expressing their disappointment, and suddenly a housekeeper's daughter-in-law walked in quickly, pulling the mandarin ducks in the crowd and walking out, the maids were shocked, there was nothing to do with them after that, why were the mandarin ducks found out again?

The mandarin duck also had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to delay, and while following her out, she hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" Tell me quickly, or I'll have no bottom in my heart. ”

The daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, this is a good thing, why didn't you say it earlier if you are familiar with the girl holding the qin, just now she asked about you, and the second grandmother asked me to come over and invite you to accompany the guest." ”

The mandarin duck put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Isn't it that the guests are all in charge, I didn't say it, and besides, how many years ago was this, I don't know if Sister Baoqin still remembers me." ”

"Remember, remember!" The daughter-in-law said repeatedly, "The girls who hugged the qin and these ladies brought into the palace from home are now in the west wing, so come with me." ”

The mandarin ducks in the Rongqing Hall naturally knew, so they didn't ask much, and walked directly to the west wing.

The maids behind her heard that the mandarin duck was going to accompany Baoqin and the others, and they couldn't help but be full of envy, they really didn't know that the mandarin duck actually had a relationship with the people around the mother.

The attacker was familiar with the mandarin duck, and at this time she was also surrounded by people to ask, but she was bought into the house later, but the mandarin duck was born in the family, and she didn't know much about the previous things, but guessed: "Sister Mandarin Duck has been serving the old lady since she was a child, and Niangniang also grew up next to the old lady back then, and it is not surprising that she and the girl holding the piano know each other." ”

Bi Jin said enviously: "Sister Mandarin Duck is really lucky, I heard that the people who can accompany the guests today are all stewards and stewards' daughters-in-law with heads and faces, and the eldest lord and the Dongfu side specially set up a banquet to entertain them." "Although the maids have a high status, they are really not as good as these stewards when it comes to real power, and it is not their turn to show their faces.

Jiang Yan thought of the overhaul of Jiafu these days, and it was not in vain, and through the mouths of these eunuchs and palace maids, the wealth and grandeur of their Jia family can be regarded as a fame, and Yuan Chun also has a glorious face in the palace.

Before, because they were going to kneel and worship, everyone had been together, and at this time there was nothing to do with them, some people continued to chat together, and some people went back to the house to rest, Jiang Yan also said that she wanted to go back to the house, and while people were not paying attention, she quietly slipped to the provincial family's courtyard. This is the most beautiful and dazzling day in the Grand View Garden, how can she not come in to see and see, and she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Concubine Jia and the others were still whimpering and crying in the Rongqing Hall at this time, and they were already very lively in the provincial courtyard, and everyone was busy preparing for the next banquet, coming and going, and Jiang Yan was not conspicuous among them.

I saw that the garden was full of cigarette smoke, the flowers were colorful, it was really called the fire tree and the silver flower never sleeped, although it had come to the time, the garden was still as bright as day, the silk flowers tied on the tree were all delicate, the glazed tiles were reflected in the sparkling, there was a melodious sound of fine music not far away, the fragrance of lily incense floated in the air, and it seemed more and more like a fairy mansion here.

Jiang Yan had been to the Provincial Courtyard once before, and it was not fully decorated at that time, and it was already a rare garden, but tonight, it can be said to be beautiful, enough to make people forget to return.
