Before leaving, Jia Mu took the time to take them together to ask Concubine Nan'an for a greeting.

On this day, she was reciting the tablet enshrined by the Liu family, and just after reciting it for a while, Jia's mother sent someone to pass a message to her, saying that she was going to ask Concubine Nan'an for peace.

She happened to be fine, so she accompanied Daiyu over.

When they arrived at the place where the concubine lived, the maids and grandmothers guarding the door bowed to them in unison and said, "I have seen Mrs. Shi, the three wives and a few girls!" ”

"Get up!"

After Jia's mother called, a well-dressed grandmother stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old lady, you can be regarded as coming, the old slave has been waiting here for a long time, and the concubine is waiting for you inside, hurry up and follow me in!" After that, he ordered someone to lift the curtain and help Jia Mu to go inside.

This grandmother is one of the concubine's henchmen, and often goes to the four major families on behalf of the concubine, Jia's mother knows her, so she laughed and joked with her, and then, with her support, followed in.

When the concubine saw them coming, she got up with a smile and greeted Jia's mother, and pulled her to sit on the couch: "You are here, but let me wait!" ”

"Isn't it inconvenient to see you a few days ago to worship the Buddha!"

After the two of them sat down, everyone saluted her.

Mrs. Xing, as the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, has to take the lead in saluting and greeting.

I saw her take a step forward, blessed the concubine, and said: "The wife of Jia Yu, the eldest house of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion, has seen the concubine, please say hello to the concubine!" ”

Concubine Nan'an glanced at her and greeted Jia's mother: "This is your new eldest daughter-in-law, she looks quite handsome, this is the first time I've seen it!" As he spoke, he asked someone to bring a box over and handed it to Xing.

"This is a little bit of my heart, you can wear it and play with it!"

Mrs. Xing didn't dare to accept this gift indiscriminately, so she secretly glanced at Jia's mother's face, and saw that Jia's mother nodded at her, so she dared to reach out and take it: "Concubine Xie reward!" ”

Seeing her get up and retreat, Mrs. Wang stepped forward and saluted: "The wife of Jia Zheng, the second room of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion, has seen the concubine, please say hello to the concubine!" ”

The concubine had never seen Mrs. Wang, but she had heard about Jia Baoyu, so she said: "Although you and I haven't seen it, we know it, why didn't you come with Baoyu today?" ”

Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't say that Jia Baoyu was going to come because she was making trouble, but she was pressed by Jia's mother and didn't let her come, so she said: "These are all female dependents, and it is not convenient for him to follow, so she stayed at home and followed his father to read and write." ”

The concubine naturally knew that this was not the truth, but the greetings were not taken seriously, so she said with a smile: "Oh~ That's good, the boy's family just wants to read more books and know some words, and I can't say that I can earn you a life to come back!" ”

Mrs. Wang likes to hear this kind of thing the most, and when she heard the concubine say this, she didn't know what to do.

"Yes, yes, then I will borrow the concubine's auspicious words, if you are really admitted one day, I will definitely ask him to greet you!"

The concubine also laughed and said, "Hahahahaha...... That's a good idea. ”

Subsequently, it was the cherished spring as the concubine of Ning Guofu, as well as the spring and spring exploration of the concubine, who stepped forward to greet her.

"Ningguo Mansion Jia Xichun has seen the concubine, please say hello to the concubine!"

"The Jia family of Rongguo Mansion has seen the concubine in the spring and the spring visit, please say hello to the concubine!"

Seeing the three of them, Concubine Nan'an's eyes lit up: "These are the three springs in your family, I have long heard that your family has three beautiful ladies like flowers, and now they are really good." ”

When Mother Jia heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "The child's family, how can you be so praised." ”

Concubine Nan'an said: "Hey~ Such a beautiful little girl, no matter how much praise you have, it is worth it." ”

Then he ordered the men to go and fetch something: "Go, and bring me the three boxes of pearls that I got yesterday." ”

When the things were taken, she asked people to open them for the three of them to see, while explaining: "This is just sent by a subordinate yesterday, I saw that the bright color is suitable for your girl's family to wear, thinking that today I want to come with your family to make incense, so I brought it, you can wear it and play!" ”

When the three of them saw that the pearls in the box were big and beautiful, and there were colored pearls with colors, they wanted it in their hearts, but the old lady didn't open her mouth, and they didn't dare to accept it no matter how much they liked it.

Seeing this, Jia Mu nodded at the three of them: "That's it, since the concubine has said so, then you can accept it!" ”

After hearing this, the three of them accepted it with a happy face.

"Thank you for the reward!"

After the three of them retreated, Shi Xiangyun, who was the niece of Jia's mother, stepped forward and saluted: "Baoling Hou Shangshu has made Shi Xiangyun see the concubine, please say hello to the concubine!" ”

The concubine is connected with the four major families, so she naturally knows that Shi Xiangyun is such a person, so she smiled and said to Jia's mother: "This girl, she looks hearty, she must be a child from your mother's family!" ”

When Mother Jia heard this, she also replied with a smile: "Yes, it is my niece and granddaughter, who lost her parents at a young age because she felt sorry for her, so she came to her side to raise her for a period of time." ”

After hearing this, the concubine looked at Shi Xiangyun with pity and said: "It's a hard-working child, but fortunately, with an elder like you to take care of it, there must be endless blessings in the future." ”

"Go, get that box from my dresser."

As soon as the box was taken and opened, Shi Xiangyun's eyes lit up when he saw the things inside.

The concubine asked her to hand the box and said, "There are some small things made of gold, silver and jade, you can take them back and wear them on your body, or you can play with them, which can just relieve your boredom." ”

The concubine's gift was prepared according to her personal situation, and naturally it was sent to Shi Xiangyun's heart, and she hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

After Shi Xiangyun, she is the mother and daughter of the Xue family, one of the four major families, even if the Xue family is down, they are closer to Concubine Nan'an, after all, they are all in one camp.

The two mothers and daughters stepped forward and saluted together, saying, "The Xue family of the imperial merchant Xue Wang, bring the little daughter Baochai to the concubine to say goodbye!" ”

"Baochai has seen the concubine, please say hello to the concubine!"

As soon as the two of them finished their ceremony, the concubine called them up.

Then, he looked at Xue Baochai carefully, and then praised with a smile: "This girl in your family looks like a real water spirit, and she is worthy of being a girl raised by the imperial merchant, and she looks blessed." ”

"Go, fetch my new box of hedrons."

When the people brought the box, she said: "Your family is rich, there is nothing new to give you another object, the spar is from overseas, I see that it is just right to send you, and it is suitable to inlay it on the object, or make clothes and shoes on the fabric." ”

Xue Baochai thought it was a rare spar, but she didn't expect it to be a gem she knew, and she couldn't help but be disappointed, but fortunately she didn't show it.

The Xue family's business is big, not only domestic, but also overseas Their family used to have caravans, others don't recognize what the gems in the box are, they know it, but the concubine is rewarded, so she naturally has to show surprise.

So, the mother and daughter took the box with a happy face: "Thank you for the reward!" ”
