In the fifteenth year of Chengde, the sixth day of February.

The entire Rongguo Mansion was in a boil.

But it was said that at noon yesterday, Yuan Chun in the palace had been feeling a little disgusting and uncomfortable in his heart after eating a bowl of soup, and when it was twilight, he vomited in the Fengzao Palace.

The imperial doctor's diagnosis of the pulse is actually a sign of joyful pulse.

Seeing that Yuan Chun's pregnancy was so intense, the imperial doctor concluded after careful diagnosis that it was very likely that she was pregnant with a prince!

As soon as these words came out, the harem shook.

Emperor Chengde, who was reviewing the folds in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, threw the Zhu pen in his hand directly after hearing the news, and hurriedly ordered Qiu Shi'an to drive the Fengzao Palace.

Compared to his own prince, the twist and turn? That's something!

Meanwhile.

As soon as the news of Yuanchun's pregnancy in the palace came out, even if Jia's mother and Jia Zheng and his wife were summoned to the palace, they were promoted to Jia Zheng, who had been in Langzhong for less than two years, and was directly promoted to another level.

Even Mrs. Wang has a four-grade fateful body.

For a while, it was all rejoicing.

When he met Concubine Xian, Yuan Chun instructed Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, saying that since they were pregnant with a dragon son, they promised to go to Qingxuguan to make Jiao and repay their wishes, hoping that they could go for themselves.

Jia Mu and others readily agreed.

Subsequently, when Jia Mu and his entourage returned home, Emperor Chengde gave a lot of gold and silver treasures one after another.

The ministers couldn't help but sigh at the dragon of the Jia family's holy scroll.

The entire Rongguo Mansion.

It's all boiling!

……

In the blink of an eye.

It's already February 16.

In front of the Rongguo Mansion on this day, it can be said that there are many vehicles and crowds.

In order to show the grandeur, Jia Mu and the others not only brought out their respective ceremonial guards, but also ordered the stewards below to replace all the objects used in this action with new ones.

It was just dawning in the east.

Jia's mother had already freshened up and cleaned up, and then took a cadre of the Jia family and others, and opened a full honor guard procession, and went to the outside of the city to clear the void.

Be at the forefront.

It was Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu brothers, all riding high-headed horses under their crotches, with silver saddles and colorful bridles and high spirits leading the way in front.

Behind are the many female rolls of the Jia family.

Among them, Jia's mother sat alone in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and the two ladies of Xing Wang, You Shi, Li Kun, Sister Feng and others were carried by one by four people each.

Later, girls and young ladies such as Shi Xiangyun and Yingchun were accompanied by each other, sitting in the small oil car with green curtains, and following behind the sedan chair.

As for the big and small maids, daughters-in-law, stewards, servants, and rough envoys who came with them, they all followed behind everyone in carriages.

There are three sacrifices and six ceremonies prepared at the back, incense candles, ingots and other things.

It is worth mentioning.

Xue Baochai, as Jia Cong's concubine, was also exceptionally allowed to accompany him to incense, but as a concubine, he couldn't sit in a sedan chair like You's, Li Kun, Sister Feng and other wives, so Jia's mother specially asked Shi Xiangyun to sit in a car.

This kind of treatment really shocked many people.

On either side of the procession, a group of soldiers dressed in armor and carrying bows and swords were guarding them.

It was Jia Cong's own soldiers.

Just take a closer look at the past and you will find that although these two teams of pro-soldiers are supporting the team, their center of gravity is faintly placed on the green curtain oil car with Xue Baochai in the middle.

That's it.

The sedan chairs of the Jia family were lined up in a long queue of more than 100 zhang.

In the meantime, the gongs are ringing, the fans are clustered, and a splendid cigarette smoke is coming straight to cover the sky and the ground, so that the people who look at the lively people on the side of the streets and alleys along the way are sighing.

Only the sound of rolling wheels and horses' hooves kept moving forward.

……

On the official road.

The team composed of the Jia family's sedan chair and horses was moving forward, and there was silence along the way, and the pedestrians and vehicles encountered were far away and dodged to both sides.

It's really majestic!

In the few small oil carts with green curtains in the rear, Shi Xiangyun was chattering and laughing with Xue Baochai, and the three sisters of Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun in the back were gently teasing the curtain of the carriage and looking around curiously......

It wasn't until noon that everyone in the Jia family arrived at the door of Qingxuguan.

Because there was an announcement a few days ago, after hearing the sound of bells and drums, a Zhike Taoist surnamed Zhang took incense and draped clothes, and took more than ten little Taoist priests to greet him on the side of the road.

And the entrance and exit of the Taoist temple have long been guarded by the servants of the Jia family.

Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu and others in front were the first to arrive at the mountain gate and dismount, and after waiting for a while, Jia Mu's sedan chair had just entered the mountain gate.

Immediately at the foot of the mountain saw the local statue of the city emperor land god, Jia Mu then ordered the sedan chair man to live in the sedan chair, came down from the sedan chair, and led everyone to worship layer by layer.

Next to her, Mrs. Wang stepped forward and said, "Mother, Daochang Zhang is waiting for us at the gate of Qingxuguan!" ”

Since entering the palace that day, Jia Zheng has been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and he has gone one step further, and after getting the fate of the four products, Mrs. Wang's spirit is no longer the previous sluggish and depressed.

To put it bluntly, she was shaking again!

Therefore, after seeing Jia Mu getting off the sedan chair at the mountain gate, she hurriedly came over to ask the reason.

glanced at his daughter-in-law.

Jia Mu said: "We are here today to repay Yuanchun's Jiao!" Now that I have arrived at the bottom of the mountain, how can I see the truth that the statue of the gods goes to the mountain without worshipping? ”

“……”

It was about Yuanchun, and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

That's when I reacted.

I opened my mouth and wanted to say something.

But in front of Jia Mu, she had already put incense, respectfully bowed to the statues of immortals and Buddhas on both sides of the road, and then inserted the incense into the large and small incense burners.

Bow down for a while.

Jia Mu looked back, but saw that Mrs. Wang was still standing there and did not move.

His face sank.

Jia Mu said to Mrs. Wang from afar: "We came here today to pray for your daughter's blessing and vows, but how do I think you are a little reluctant?" ”

Madame Wang was shocked when she heard this.

After reacting, he hurriedly explained to Jia's mother: "What is the mother talking about, praying for her own children, where will the daughter-in-law be reluctant?" ”

As he spoke.

At the mountain gate above, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu saw Jia's mother come out of the sedan chair and hurriedly came down to greet them.

The hill on which this pure void view is located is just a larger dirt slope.

The main entrance of the Taoist temple is not far from the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, not long after, Jia Mu went up all the way to worship accompanied by everyone.

When everyone arrived at the gate of the mountain, Jia Baoyu shouted to Daoist Zhang from a distance: "Grandpa Zhang, the old lady is here!" ”

It turned out that this Taoist priest surnamed Zhang, who was a guest, was actually bought by the Jia family from Renyazi, and specially sent to the Qingxu Temple to repay the wish of Rong Guogong as a monk.

Therefore, in terms of generation, it is the same generation as Rongguo Gongjia's mother.

This is also the reason why Jia Baoyu calls Daoist Zhang a grandfather!

at the doorway.

After hearing Jia Baoyu's voice, Daoist Zhang looked up at everyone, and sure enough, he saw Jia Mu, who was dressed in grace and luxury, standing there, and immediately greeted him with a group of little Taoists.

came to Jia's mother.

Daoist Zhang first bowed down, and then asked with a smile: "How is the old lady doing lately?" ”

I met with Daoist Zhang.

Jia Mu also couldn't help laughing, and said, "You are worried, I've been fine lately, and my body is still tough!" But you, how are you doing? How did you start knowing the customer? ”

Daoist Zhang replied, "Thanks to the old lady's blessing, the poor road is still healthy!" As for why he was a guest of the Taoist, he learned that the old lady personally came to pray for the blessing, and specially came to lead the old lady to worship! ”

"You've got a heart!"

Jia Mu nodded, and the smile on her face was even worse.

In the clear void.

After worshipping with Daoist Zhang all the way, Jia Mu went to the upstairs in front of him to return to his seat.

Seeing that Mother Jia's forehead was already slightly sweaty, Daoist Zhang couldn't help but nod and said: "The old lady is over seventy years old, and her body bones can still be as tough as now, which is really rare!" ”

"I will compliment you."

Jia Mu said with a smile: "Thanks to the fighting of my brother in the past few years, I have worked a lot less, and now I only have to recuperate in the house every day, which is naturally healthy!" ”

"The old lady is a great blessing!"

Daoist Zhang stroked his hand and praised, and asked suspiciously: "By the way, I saw Baoyu there just now, why don't you see him coming with me now?" ”

Jia Mu's expression moved slightly, and she said with a smile: "This time, I am designated to go around with his sisters and sisters outside!" ”

After that, he told the mandarin duck to hurry up and find Baoyu.

Less.

Mandarin Duck brought Jia Baoyu over.

After seeing Daoist Zhang, Jia Baoyu hurriedly came up and saluted respectfully.

Daoist Zhang pulled it over, looked at it for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's only been a few months, but Baoyu has become more and more blessed!" ”

Mother Jia also smiled, "Don't look at this child, who is born well on the outside, but weak on the inside, and forced him to study with his old son, he was about to get sick!"

But just like that, I'm still complaining that he doesn't grow up and doesn't like to study! ”

"That shouldn't be!"

Hearing Jia's mother's complaints, Daoist Zhang was puzzled: "Some time ago, I went to the house, but I saw Baoyu's writing in several places, which is really good, why is the second master still complaining?" ”

Jia Mu waved her hand.

"It's harmful, don't say it......"

As he spoke, the maids next to him served hot tea.

Seeing that Jia Mu didn't want to say more, Daoist Zhang didn't mention it anymore, just took the teacup, took a sip lightly, and then turned the conversation around.

said: "I heard that Baoyu took a concubine last year, I knew it was too late, and I couldn't catch up to congratulate him, the old lady has a lot of forbearance!" ”

"How can there be elders who congratulate the younger?"

Mother Jia smiled: "This kid has to call you Grandpa Zhang, if you go to congratulate him, wouldn't it be a blessing for him?" ”

As he spoke, both of them laughed.

The Taoist priest looked at Jia Baoyu for a while.

As if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly shouted to Jia's mother: "Old lady, if you look at it from this side, Baoyu's descriptive posture sitting there is really the same mold as Grandpa Guo back then!" ”

Jia Mu listened and looked carefully.

Isn't that exact?!

Unconsciously, Jia Mu's eyes were sour, and a few strands of misery welled up in her heart.

"Why not?"

Mother Jia couldn't help but sigh, "I have raised so many children and grandchildren, only Baoyu is the only child, who looks very much like his grandfather, not to mention, but also knows that it is not easy to sympathize with me, and can make me happy!"

Other people are used to saying that I prefer Baoyu, but who knows why? ”

Seeing that Jia Mu's mood was depressed.

Daoist Zhang took the opportunity to divert the topic.

said with a smile: "A few days ago, I saw a young lady from a family, who was the same age as Baoyu, not to mention her appearance, she was also smart and virtuous, and her family and house were also comparable.

I think that since Baoyu has accepted the concubine room, it is better to marry a relative or something as soon as possible, so as not to cause more trouble in the future, but I don't know how the old lady plans it, so I didn't dare to make a mistake, just waiting for the instructions to be asked, so I can mention it! ”

Hear here.

Jia Mu had already reacted.

Looked at him deeply.

This Taoist priest wants to meddle in Jia Baoyu's marriage!

I have been laying the groundwork for so long in front of me, and I think it is all for those few words......

In the blink of an eye.

Jia Mu's face turned cold.

It's just a stand-in for the old man in the past, and he usually respects him a little, so he calls the children below to shout "grandpa", but he doesn't think that he really takes himself seriously!

The original good mood disappeared in an instant!

Looking at Daoist Zhang with a smile on his face, Jia Mu just prevaricated: "Baoyu can't be in a hurry, there was a monk who came to the mansion last time and said that this child should not marry early in his life, and he has to wait for his freshman year to talk about it!" ”

Daoist Zhang's face froze.

Knowing that he had annoyed Mother Jia, he sighed secretly in his heart.

He had the heart to retreat, but he thought of the people who asked for it, and the silver in vain, so he simply changed his head suddenly.

smiled: "Baoyu has such a situation, naturally he has to wait!" It's Brother Cong in the house, who is not young now, does the old lady have any plans? Old road: ...... here."

Looking at Daoist Zhang with an enthusiastic face, Jia Mu's eyes flashed coldly.

I'm waiting here.

It turns out that this is the real picture of the poor dagger!

Don't wait for Daoist Zhang to finish speaking.

Jia Mu interrupted him and asked, "Who made you care about Brother Cong'er's marriage?" Tell me, I'll tell him to inquire! ”

"Forehead ......"

Daoist Zhang couldn't help but be speechless, laughed a few times, and said: "I'm just worried about the children in the house are getting older, so I'm a little anxious, how can anyone support me?" ”

"I hope so!"

Jia Mu glanced at him deeply, "But since you have opened your mouth about this matter, when Brother Cong'er comes back from Yangzhou, I will tell him everything, and if he asks you about it at that time, you can weigh it yourself!" ”

Hearing this, Daoist Zhang's face changed greatly.

Swallowing hard, Daoist Zhang's voice carried a lot of pleading, "This is the fault of Lao Dao, old lady, you just didn't say anything to me......

"This person, you still have to find your own position!"

Jia Mu snorted coldly and got up and left with the maids......

Come out of the main building.

Mother Jia instructed the maids and daughters-in-law who were on the side, "Don't go out and spread the word about what you just said, so as not to cause any more trouble for me, do you know?!" ”

All the maids and daughters-in-law should say "yes" in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Mu turned her gaze to Jia Baoyu beside her, and ordered: "And you too, just sit here and drink tea for a long time just now, do you know?" ”

Jia Baoyu, "...... Grandchildren saved. ”
