The next day, five drums in the morning.

The personnel of the two governments of the Jia family came out together, emptied the street of Ningrong, and every few steps, maids with new clothes and small servants in the general corner stood up, ready to welcome the provincial relatives of Yuanchun.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others waited outside the gate of West Street outside, while Jia Mu and others dressed up according to their grades and greeted each other in front of the gate of Rongfu Middle Road.

"Take a look, are Lian Er and Sister Feng here?"

When she got to the street, Mother Jia urged Lin Zhixiao's family to eat, and her tone was somewhat anxious and complaining.

I would have asked the two of them to come over last night, but they shouldn't, if Concubine Xiande came first today, wouldn't the two of them be embarrassed?

Lin Zhixiao's family knew the stakes, and as soon as he went out, he lowered his head and came to the West Street Gate.

The government has already sent several waves of people to shout in Shuiliangfang, and now they have to listen to a letter.

Outside the West Street Gate.

Jia Lian arrived just in time, and his official robe never fell off, he got out of the carriage, helped Sister Feng and hurried over, and bowed to Jia and Jia Zheng and his party.

"Lian'er, why is it so late?" Jia Zheng frowned and asked.

"Today is the Great Morning Meeting, and when you can't get out, you're already whipping here."

It's hard to say much, a few people have seen it, Jia Lian stood behind Jia Yu Jia Zheng, and Sister Feng dragged her clothes and walked inside with Lin Zhixiao's family.

There was no more silence before and after Ningrong Street, and everyone was waiting silently.

After a while.

I didn't know the time outside, and everyone saw that the sun was rising, and the wide robe and big sleeves were crowded in a heap, and they couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads.

Suddenly, a eunuch Pegasus came, arrived outside the gate of West Street, and dismounted to tell Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen.

"It's still early! Concubine Xiande Niangniang just visited the queen and returned to the Fengyu Palace, waited for dinner, went to Baoling Palace to worship the Buddha, and waited for the saint to set up a family banquet in Daming Palace, and the virtuous concubine Niangniang led the banquet to see the lanterns, but I am afraid that the first day of the year can receive the decree out."

Hearing the eunuch report on Yuan Chun's itinerary, Jia Zheng hesitated slightly, and then sent a message to ask him to take him inside to meet Jia's mother, and receive the silver by the way.

"So you only get up at night? Why don't you come early?"

Jia Lian called out to the eunuch and asked.

The eunuch did not answer, but got on his horse and walked inward.

Jia Zheng turned around and persuaded, "You don't want to complain and interrogate him, it's all thanks to him to report, otherwise we would all be waiting here in vain."

After listening to the eunuch's report, Jia Zhen and the others each spoke and told everyone to rest first.

Especially Dongfu Jia Zhen, her fat body was confined to her robe, standing in two trembling arms, and she had long wanted to find a place to lie down.

Jia Lian also walked with Jia Zheng to Ningrong Street at this time, and replied: "It's not that I don't know the eunuch's reasoning, but the mansion has come to tell me that today is a big event, and after a year, I can't even understand the eldest sister's itinerary today, what is this?"

Jia Zheng said: "How can I wait for the foreign ministers to inquire about the affairs in the palace? Maybe there is no change, you just go and rest, and say hello to the old lady first."

Jia Zheng is the person in charge today, and he only sent Jia Lian to rest, so as not to cause trouble.

Jia Lian didn't argue with him, but only laughed: "The second master doesn't matter, but the second wife has received a favor and can enter the palace every month to see it, why don't you know?"

Jia Zheng was speechless for a while, and had the intention to scold Jia Lian a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he thought that this meeting was rare today, so he swallowed it first.

Speaking of this, Jia Lian himself remembered something.

He swept his gaze behind him, swept past Lin Zhixiao, the chief housekeeper of the Rong Mansion, and only summoned Zhao Tianliang, the housekeeper of his own Alluring City Mansion, to come to him.

"You go back and get my name card, go to the palace to find out what eunuchs she has brought back, and see which companions she has brought back."

Zhao Tianliang hurriedly responded.

When the second old man Jia Zheng heard this, his eyes showed approval, and he stroked his beard and said, "Yes, Lian Er, you have been in and out of the palace a lot, and you are just doing things."

Immediately, Jia Zheng instructed Lin Zhixiao on the side: "Butler, you also follow this person, so you can do things more thoughtfully, and don't do too much."

asked, and inquired about the mother's affairs."

Lin Zhixiao got the order, and immediately came out of Ningrong Street with Zhao Tianliang.

The two of them each led their horses and rode on, and went to the West Street Gate archway.

Lin Zhixiao said: "I still have a few hundred taels of silver to keep for some use, so I will go to Shuiliangfang to get the name of the second master of Lian first?"

Zhao Tianliang replied with a smile: "Father Lin just follow me, it's not in the way."

After that, Zhao Tianliang took the lead and left.

In front of the gate of Rongfu, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Rong came over to see Jia's mother first.

Since Yuanchun only arrived in the evening, it was best for everyone to disperse and rest first.

Mother Jia naturally agreed, and stayed in the man's house to rest in the outer hall, and she led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, Sister Feng and others to find a seat in Rongqing Hall to rest and talk.

"Auntie said you couldn't come?"

When she arrived in Rongqing Hall, Sister Feng found Lin Daiyu.

When Daiyu heard this, she nodded and replied, "I can't say I can't come a long time ago. Master, he took into account the rules of his identity and met him, in case he was not good at accepting the mother's courtesy, I persuaded him again and again, but he was not willing."

Sister Feng just smiled and said, "What's the hurry. Aunt Xue didn't come either, she only sent Brother Xue Pan to help with some actions a few days ago, and now she is going back."

In the Rongqing Hall, everyone is sitting close to each other, and the personnel are all here.

Only Mrs. Wang Tanchun arranged two arrangements inside and outside, and there was another grandmother of Zhu, Li Kun, who was looking for someone, and was not here.

"If you two say anything in a whisper, you won't come to deal with anyone."

Mother Jia pointed at Daiyu and said with a smile, "Especially Sister Feng, now I want to keep you for a few days to make rules, and I should accompany me carefully for a few days."

Sister Feng had no choice but to stand up, leaned over and took Jia's mother's hand and said, "Where to say any secrets, anyway, just follow the orders of the ancestors."

"When I don't know?" Jia Mu said: "It's about Daiyu and her old son, grab those who can't pay attention to it, what does he know? Who said they would worship him?"

Sister Feng saw that Daiyu was silent, so she helped to speak, "My aunt is highly educated, since it is good to come or not, of course I just want to keep the courtesy."

Jia Mu smiled, "What ceremony? Stinky and sour."

Seeing that Daiyu was here, Jia Mu did not continue to pursue Lin Ruhai, and laughed with everyone for a while.

Suddenly, there was a word outside.

Baoyu is here.

After passing the words on the front and back feet, Jia Baoyu entered the house in an orderly manner.

After seeing the ceremony, Jia Mu asked, "Why don't you accompany your big brother Zhen over there?"

"Brother Zhen said that he was tired and was taken to Dongfu to rest. The second master and the second brother Lian talked about mentioning some things about studying politics, and they were talking happily, and I saw that I couldn't get into the conversation, so I thought about coming to serve the ancestor."

Jia Baoyu said, took a look in the house, and there was a smile on his face, and he wanted to find a place to sit down.

"Where do I lack you to serve, I'm afraid it will be mine."

Mother Jia didn't let Baoyu sit first, and said with a smile: "Don't be busy trying to squeeze with your sisters, tell me about your master first, he has never moved his position in the court."

Jia Baoyu heard the jokes and laughter left and right, but he was also helpless, so he had to clear his throat and speak.

"Sun Er didn't listen too carefully, only listened to the second brother Lian, if the master mentions a term of academic politics, it will not be good, although the qualifications have risen sharply, and the future will be broad, but when he returns to Beijing, he will only start from the chief officer of the six ministries and one department, and then stay in office and wait for promotion. In comparison, the old man is old, if he is directly appointed to the household department, it is also convenient to leave and right, which is the reason why ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand."

"Hmm..." Jia Mu thought about it after hearing this, and said, "Lian Er, what he said is also right, it will not harm his uncle. I miss you Lao Tzu, he doesn't have any fame at all, and he still goes to be a student and politician, even if he has a son who worships his name, I'm afraid that I will be laughed at by scholars behind my back."

said so, but in charge of the man's affairs, Jia's mother is not easy to help Jia Zheng make the decision.

Taking advantage of the gap between the ladies and mothers-in-law to flatter Jia's mother, Baoyu finally got free and sat down at Daiyu's side, her eyes were more eager than ordinary days.

"I heard about the poetry club last night, and my sister gave me a good name!"

"Banana Garden, Banana Garden, others don't know, can't I think of it? That is the place where the palace books are stored in the Taiye Pond, and the most famous is where the drafts of several emperors were burned. This poetry society, which burns away foreign things, has the right ambition in my heart!"

Fang just helped Jia's mother relay those officialdom mundane things, but Baoyu felt that her mouth was dirty, so she couldn't wait to find recognition.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was displeased with her rare face.

"I didn't think it meant that. When I was studying, I didn't know that there was a banana orchard in Taiye Pond outside Beijing."

"Then this shows that there is a coincidence!"

Baoyu was a little panicked, standing or sitting, and a grievance full of grievances rose.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu sighed secretly.

"Brother Bao......"

She knew that Jia Baoyu was evil in her career, and now she almost wanted to follow this persuasion, and it was best to dislike it, so as not to be able to stand this friendship.

It's just that at the end, Daiyu can't help but feel that doing things like this is too ridiculous, but it seems that she is dark.

Daiyu's tone was a little solemn again, and said, "You are a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion, and you live in the Rongxi Hall all day long. Now that I've grown up again, even if I don't think about it, there will always be a day when I can't hide in the 'banana garden'."

Regard the person who takes the test for fame as a beetle, and if he doesn't go and doesn't become an official, how can he inherit the family business?

The second master, Jia Zheng, did not have a hereditary title to pass on to Jia Baoyu.

Or maybe there is, but that position is still on the head of the eldest lord Jia Yu......

Lin Daiyu thought of this, so she was silent.

Like Xue Baochai in the past, she has never come to participate in the second room of the Rong Mansion, and now it is even more so.

Daiyu's words were a little heavy, and Jia Baoyu sat aside in despair, and his mouth inevitably chattered like a fool.

"Why do you want to fail me like this......

When some people in Rongqing Hall were happy and some were sad, Li Kun, the grandmother of Zhu who had been hidden for a long time, came into the house.

went to meet Mother Jia and Mrs. You first, and then Li Kun sighed and went to the sisters who had not yet left the cabinet.

"I've already asked, the rules of the Niangniang Provincial Relatives have been set, and they can't be changed at all without those deacons, eunuchs and female officials talking. The matter of everyone's dedication to the piano is over."

As soon as these words came out, Sanchun and Daiyu Xiangyun were dull for a while.

Although Li Kun also felt that everyone's preparation was a pity, he couldn't help but come to comfort the sisters.

Just before she could speak, the fourth girl Xichun first sneered: "Flatterers are always there, and ruthless people are empty. When the time comes, we will all be busy going in and out of the Hajj, so that we can't even say a few words, and our mother, who has never heard of each other, will be happy?"

"Smack!"

The more Li Kun listened, the more panicked he became, and he came over to cover Xichun's mouth.

"Fourth girl, you are still young, you are neither good nor serious in speaking, you are learning the posture of Lian Er, and you have taught people badly, and when the time comes, the old ladies will come to complain that I didn't see it, isn't it pitiful?"

Li Kun's posture lowered to persuade him, and when Xichun heard this, he had to be silent.

In fact, Yuan Chun and Xi Chun have met, where can I say anything I don't know, but Xi Chun just went to the ground to play crazy not long ago, Yuan Chun went to the palace.

Li Kun didn't need to admit his mistake in the spring, and when he saw that he was persuaded to go back, he gave up.

It's just that I'm afraid that a few girls will say something absurd again, so that the people in Rongqing Hall will listen, and Li Kun will get up.

"Now that there is still free time, the ancestors don't need the girls to serve, so our poetry club will find another secluded place to talk."

Since the newly established poetry club was mentioned, it was difficult for everyone to refuse.

So Li Kun came again to ask Jia's mother to lead people away.

Mother Jia also knew that Mrs. Wang handed over Sanchun to Li Kun to take care of, so she didn't refuse, but only told her to come over early in the afternoon and never miss the hour.

Li Kun hurriedly agreed, and immediately led Sanchun and Xiangyun Daiyu to the back hall.

Inside the house, Mrs. Xing saw a group of people leaving, so she smiled and accosted, "Sister Feng is not going to play?"

"Me?"

Sister Feng pointed at herself, pretending to be angry and said, "You don't know, I inquired, a few of them have set up a poetry club, and a few of the people in our house who are looked down upon will take them to play."

Mother Jia smiled and joked to Sister Feng: "Nonsense, it's clear that you don't know how to recite poetry and are disliked, and you have to pull it on us."

There was a burst of laughter in the house, and Baoyu, who was still stunned, was finally found.

"Second Master Bao, why don't you follow you—Second Master Bao?"

Jia's mother's maid Amber nudged her when she spoke, but when she saw that she couldn't push, she couldn't help but be anxious.

"Baoyu!"

Jia Mu heard the movement and hurriedly called.

The mandarin duck also walked over in a panic at this time, looked down, and shouted a few words before Baoyu came back to his senses.

"Old lady, Baoyu is stupid again, I don't know what to hear!"
