Jia Baoyu went to sleep not long after he came back from drinking, and on the second day, he heard that the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace was down, and he thought it was wrong, how could he be the same as Xue Baochai. I heard that the attacker said that they were written one by one, and I don't know why, so I had to ask someone to send things to Lin Daiyu, and if I liked them, I took them.

Jiang Yan and the others laughed in their hearts when they heard him say stupid things, isn't this very obvious, but Jia Baoyu's actions are crooked, showing his intentions.

After Mrs. Wang heard the gift list sent by the palace, she was in a good mood. With the mother's reward, there should be a rumor of good fortune in the house, so that the old lady's plan for so long will be in vain. If you want her to say, the old lady is just old and confused, and she doesn't look at how Lin Yatou's orphan girl is worthy of Baoyu! He is the son of the Guogong Mansion and the younger brother of the concubine, and he has a great future waiting for him in the future, what can Lin Daiyu give him!

She was angry when she thought of Jia's mother, Niangniang and Baoyu were born to her, but she was raised by the old lady since she was a child, and she was much closer to her than to her own mother. Fortunately, it is not easy to survive in the palace, and she needs silver everywhere to open the way, and she tries her best to persuade Baochai, who has a lot of money, to suppress Lin Daiyu. Anyway, Baoyu's marriage Jia Mu didn't say it clearly, and Niang Niang can also excuse herself and say that she didn't know.

Jia Yuanchun sent people out this time, in addition to sending the Dragon Boat Festival to the people of Jiafu, he also sent another 120 taels of silver, calling for three days of safe Jiao from the first to the third day of the Qingxuguan Lunar New Year, singing operas and offering offerings, and asking Jia Zhen to lead all the gentlemen to kneel and worship the Buddha.

Wang Xifeng is busy at home every day, but wants to take this opportunity to go out for a walk, and proposes that everyone take this opportunity to go out for a while, that Qingxuguan is on the mountain outside the city, but it is much cooler than in Jiafu.

Jia's mother was originally a lively person, and she was uncomfortable because of Jia Baoyu's evil thing a while ago. Thinking that he could take this opportunity to let Baoyu go to the gods to worship and go to bad luck, he agreed as soon as he heard her proposal, and said: "We are going to visit him for three days!" He also said to Baochai: "Bao girl also goes, staying at home is just sleeping." ”

Baochai is plump, and it is not heat-tolerant, so at first it was reluctant to go out for a run on a hot day. But Jia Mu spoke, so she had no choice but to follow.

Mother Jia sent someone to invite Aunt Xue again, and told Mrs. Wang that she was going to take their sisters with her.

Mrs. Wang prepared to send someone out of Yuanchun during the festival, and she couldn't go back for a long time, but she didn't stop the girls from going out, and because of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mother Jia didn't say a word, Mrs. Wang didn't know what the old lady's mind was, and wanted to make her happy, so she sent someone to the garden and instructed: "If you have something to visit, just go with the old lady on the first day of the new year." ”

As soon as this word spread, those girls were not allowed to go out of the threshold every day, and after hearing this, how could anyone not want to go, one by one, they pounced on their masters, even the widowed Li Kun was moved by what they said. When Jia Mu heard that everyone was going, she really became more and more happy.

It's a pity that Jia Baoyu usually takes a small servant when she goes out, and the maids don't have this benefit to go out to play. I can only watch others happily prepare to go out, and come back to comfort myself in the sweat of running on a hot day, what is there to go out! It's better to rest peacefully at home!

Jiang Yan often goes out, but she thinks this makes sense. The place where the ladies are active is so big, but it's just a change of place to watch a play, and there is really nothing worth a special trip. It's a pity that she still has a task to do, so she has to go out even if she really doesn't want to.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were many vehicles in front of Rongguo Mansion, and there were crowds of people and horses. The steward and others below knew that they were going to Jiao on the order of the concubine Niangniang, and Mother Jia went to the incense in person, and paid more attention to it.

Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, Li Kun, Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and Jiafu Sanchun, together with Jia's mother's four big maids, other people's two maids, as well as the old grandmother and daughter-in-law in each room, a large piece of Wuyang, Jia's mother and they left in a sedan chair, and the maids in the back still didn't get in the car. A group of people were chattering there, talking and laughing excitedly.

Everyone here knows each other, and Jiang Yan is not easy to mix in, so she went to Qingxuguan first. The inside has been cleared, and many small servants in Jiafu outside are surrounded at various intersections to prevent people from entering and exiting at will, but for Jiang Yan, it is not difficult to get in, not to mention that now that Jia's mother and the others have not arrived, they are very lax everywhere. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong all hid in the bell tower next to them to enjoy the coolness.

Jiang Yan came here to see Daoist Zhang propose, and there was no need to follow all the way, and found that there were two exceptionally clean places, which were probably the places where the ladies watched the play, so she went in first to hide. She knew that she was going to the Taoist temple, so she deliberately picked out a dark blue cloth today, tied in a man's bun, wearing a headscarf, and looked similar to the little Taoist priest, and the Taoist temple was busy welcoming Jia Mu and others, she walked all the way without anyone paying attention, and entered the building smoothly.

After waiting for a long time, she finally heard movement outside, Jiang Yan immediately hid under the curtain, and Mother Jia and the immortals who worshiped in a circle finally came to rest.

Not long after, Jia Zhen came over with an old Taoist priest.

Although this Taoist priest is the monk stand-in of the Rongguo Mansion Guogong that day, that is, the person they bought at home, but now it is different from the past, he was once called the "Great Phantom Immortal" by the former emperor Yukou himself, and now he is in charge of the Daolu Siyin, and is now named the "end of the real person", and now the princes and towns call him "Immortal", which can be described as the first person in Taoism. Even Jia Mu had to be polite when she saw him.

That's why he has the face to propose to Baoyu.

When Daoist Zhang saw Baoyu, he greeted him a few times, praised him for looking like the grandfather of the country, and it was time to start a family, so he said that he saw a young lady in a person's house the day before yesterday, who was fifteen years old this year, and he was born with a good appearance. And smart and wise, with a foundation of belongings, is also worthy of Baoyu, but I don't know how the old lady is, he doesn't dare to make a mistake, and he only dares to say it to people after inviting the old lady's instructions.

Jiang Yan listened to it in the back and thought to herself that it was fortunate that Mrs. Wang didn't come today, otherwise she wouldn't know how to react when she heard Daoist Zhang's words. The words of the matchmaker of the parents' order, looking at the daughter-in-law has always been the mother's business, but when people have relatives, they are looking for Jia's mother to tell them, and I don't know where to put her, the biological mother.
