Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Chapter 17 Big Sister Yuanchun

The empress and the emperor's young husband and wife lost their hearts from the moment the hijab was lifted. She dared not resent the emperor, but in her heart she regarded these high-ranking ladies as thorns in her eyes. It seemed that these people were intruders, and she wished she could not let them go. Get out of the palace.

But I also know that Yuan Chun's words are reasonable, as the emperor and empress, they are not only husband and wife, but also monarch and minister.No matter how sad her heart was, she still had to work hard to choose a sweet woman for the emperor.

After drinking Yuanchun and offering honey water, the queen sighed: "I heard that your family also has sisters running for the election this time, do you know the result of the primary election?"

Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows and solemnly said, "Reporting to the empress, she is the second sister of the uncle's family. It is too early to find out whether she is selected or not!"

The Queen glanced at Jinxiu, the nurse beside her, and Jinxiu hurriedly smiled: "I just got the news after reporting to the empress. The younger sister of Jia Nushi's name is Jia Yingchun. The primary election in the Imperial Garden has passed, and she has already gone to Chuxiu Palace."

Yuan Chun's eyes brightened slightly after hearing this: "Thank you, Aunt Jinxiu, for taking care of me."

Jinxiu smiled and shook her head: "It's too late to be greedy for merit. Today's primary election is different from usual. Tongxi's selection method is tight. If you are not a decent lady, you will definitely flee."

The queen became interested: "Oh, how do you narrow down?"

Jinxiu let's talk about the method of copying sand and eliminating it today.

The Empress laughed, "It's Miss Jia, after all!"

Yuan Chun humbly said, "Your Majesty praises you."

Yuan Chun's face was expressionless, his heart trembled slightly, he seemed to be both happy and sad, he hadn't seen his relatives for eight years, he didn't expect that the timid and timid second sister had grown into a lady of the family!

I think grandma has spent all her energy on this second sister these years.

She thought Yingchun was honored and favored like her.

Not to mention Yuan Chun's misinterpretation, it's really inconvenient to write letters as soon as you enter the palace gate.Even though she was better than others, she could occasionally pass a word to her uncle and get some news about her grandparents, parents and even Baoyu, but she never thought about Yingchun and her concubine sisters.

Wang Ziteng was bewitched by Sister Feng, thinking that it was feasible for Yingchun to enter the palace to help Yuanchun, so he sent a letter to Yuanchun, asking her to make the best use of the situation, or leave Yingchun sisters to look at each other head to tail, or seek a capable marriage for Yingchun. Being able to become a family supporter can do anything.

At the age of three, Yi Yuanchun knew Yingchun well. She thought that the cowardly and cowardly second sister would never survive the re-election, but she guessed wrong.

This is where the misunderstanding occurred.

Seeing Yuan Chun pondering, the queen also said that she was missing her relatives, and Yuan Chun had helped her a lot over the years, so she smiled: "I'm tired too, Jia Nvshi will go to Chuxiu Palace for me, and give me some advice on how to manage Chuxiu Palace. Mommy, this year's empress dowager is very important to you, don't take it lightly!"

Yuan Chun knew that it was the empress who opened the door for his own convenience, allowing his sisters to meet, so he hurriedly saluted: "Thank you empress empress!"

Turning around, he said Yingchun, knowing that he was going to stay in the palace for election, he couldn't help but secretly spit on the anxious emperor.

It's hard to violate the king's order, not to mention that most of the beautiful women are ecstatic when they hear that they will stay in the palace. Yingchun can only follow the crowd and smile, so as not to be colorful.

The only inconvenience is that most of the show girls only bring one or two sets of clothes for a change of clothes, and very few of them have a total of twelve pieces of underwear like Yingchun.

Fortunately, the palace will appoint eunuchs to deliver decrees to each household.Yingchun knew that Sister Jiamufeng would pack more packages for her to enter the palace.

Girls participating in the draft outside Beijing left their registration details and their residence addresses, and Yingchun, the ladies from Kyoto, were thrown to Chuxiu Palace by the supervisor Wang, who was in charge of the primary selection.

"The queen has ordered that the show girls stay in Chuxiu Palace temporarily. Miss Du Ruo, these show girls will be handed over to you. You have to take care of them carefully!"

Aunt Du Ruo hurriedly responded.

"Hello, my little masters!"

After Du Ruosu stood up, he said: "The servant girl is Du Ruo, the aunt who is in charge of the Chuxiu Palace. In the next few days, the young masters will be served by Du Ruo. The Chuxiu Palace is divided into the front hall and the back hall, and the left and right side halls. According to the rules, no matter whether the front hall or the back hall , or the left and right side halls, each room must have two young masters living together. As for which two young masters live in the same room, it is up to the young masters to decide."

Yingchun was assigned to live in Lijingxuan, the back hall of Chuxiu.

Yingchun did some calculations in her mind, and according to the [-]/[-] split between the front and back halls, she does not have an advantage in the ranking of the show girls, and should be ranked after the [-]th.

Yingchun thought about what she had heard just now. It was nothing more than the relatives of so-and-so's family, which empress and prince covered her, and how much money was given to the eunuch and aunt in charge.

Yingchun had [-] silver in mind, and it was Jia Mu and others who paid for Yingchun, but Yingchun didn't want to use the money to buy herself a prison cage.The purpose of Yingchun's trip is very clear, not asking for an imperial seal, worrying about nothing, and getting out of the palace.

There are five main halls in Lijingxuan, the halls are magnificently arranged, and the colors are mainly golden and red, showing the royal wealth everywhere.

There are east and west side halls in Lijingxuan, one is Fengguang Room and the other is Yilan Hall.

In Xiunu's residence, Manager An has a charter, and Yingchun is arranged to live in Yilan Pavilion.The roommate of Yingchun is Jiang Jinyu, the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Jiang Jinyu is petite, with handsome features, and Yingchun belongs to the category that should be kindly raised for three to five years before eating.

Because Jiang Jinyu is the eldest daughter of the family, she has a cheerful personality and a big demeanor, so she looks like the type who is favored at first glance.She smiled when she saw people, and when she learned that she lived in the same room as Yingchun, she smiled at Yingchun when she entered the door, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Hello, sister Jia!"

The little girl smiled, and there were two Jiuxuans on the corners of her mouth, very playful.

According to Yingchun's visual inspection, this girl is only a sophomore in middle school in modern times, and she really doesn't match up with a 30-year-old uncle.

Jiang Jinyu warmly greeted Yingchun and complained to her family.

Yingchun was in a daze, almost thinking that she was back in her university dormitory.

Although it is necessary to be defensive, Yingchun was moved by the little girl's harmless smile.

Nuan Nuan smiled, stretched out his hands and shook hands with Jiang Jinyu: "Hi sister, my name is Yingchun, and I was ten years old in the twelfth lunar month of last year!"

Jiang Jinyu immediately smiled and rolled her eyes: "Little sister Jiang Jinyu, born in March, is one year younger than my sister. May I call you Sister Yingchun from now on?"

Looking at this familiar little girl, Yingchun's mood immediately improved, and she would leave the palace in less than ten days and a half months, and she was reckless for a while, thinking about it would not hinder her, because she smiled on her forehead and said, "Then I will recognize you." Such a good sister!"

Jiang Jinyu was very talkative, so he started chatting and chatting. Yingchun learned that this Jiang Jinyu had been working with his parents since he was one year old. Although his father was a two-list Jinshi, he got up from the county magistrate and hid in the south before entering Beijing.She is very loved by her father, like traveling, going to the countryside to be close to the people, he will definitely take her with him, making her extraordinary knowledge, even though she is a daughter of the Shangshufu, she is not arrogant or coquettish.

When Yingchun and Jiang Jinyu were exchanging messages, Aunt Du Ruo personally sent a court lady in: "My lords, this is the maid of Chuxiu Palace, her name is Lan Xi, and Lan Xi will serve the two young lords in the next few days. If you have something to do, you can just tell her to go. The servants live in the side room across the courtyard in the front hall, and if you have something to do, you can tell Du Ruo directly."

Yingchun can't be regarded as a serious mistress at the moment, but Du Ruo treats each mistress one by one, with a very respectful attitude without showing a trace of flattery.A business model, people can not pick out the slightest mistake.

Yingchun suddenly thought of a word: bone spirit!

Yingchun's mood improved again, she raised the corners of her lips, showing a gentle smile, and returned the salute solemnly.

Yingchun was watching Lanxi, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Jinyu secretly stuffing a purse for Du Ruo, and took advantage of the time to wink at Yingchun, only then did Yingchun realize it, and hurriedly squeezed a bag with a gold safety buckle from his cuff Handed over the small pouch: "Auntie, let's have fun with it!"

Du Ruo was used to it, smiled and accepted it.

Turning around, he led a few maids to check the bed arrangement, and instructed the maids to make adjustments from time to time.

Yingchun was very keen to see that Du Ruo was flicking the silk handkerchief in his hand. Although the cloth quality was different from that given by Aunt Feng, the bamboo leaf embroidery on it was exactly the same.

Yingchun's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but look at Du Ruo a few more times. Could it be that Du Ruo was recommended by Aunt Feng to help her?

After careful consideration, Du Ruo's age should be about the same as Sister Feng's. At the age of 23 or [-], if the court ladies have served in the palace for ten years, they should be the age to leave the palace.

Can't help but wonder, then relieved, anyway, I don't want to stay in this palace for too long, as long as my life is safe for ten and a half months, that's all.

Yingchun thought secretly, should she take out her purse to recognize her relatives, and then ask Du Ruo to send a message to sister Yuanchun for her?

After a long while, Yingchun felt that it was better not to disturb Aunt Feng's secret information, but to see how the noble masters in the palace would act, and then make sense once she was unable to resist or made a choice.

Thinking about it again, Sister Feng once said that Yuan Chun often sent news to the insiders of the Wang family, so as long as Yuan Chun had a heart, he should already know that he passed the primary election at this time.Yuan Chun knows the rules of the palace better than herself, if she can meet, she will definitely try to come.

If there is no movement from Yuanchun, it is either inconvenient to move or the timing is wrong.

The inner courtyard of the imperial palace is no different from a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. As a rookie, I still stick to my duty and stand still. Once there is a re-election, I will make sense at that time.

Here, Yingchun sent Du Ruo away calmly, and was talking to Jiang Jinyu. The two had a tacit understanding to avoid the topic of the draft, and each talked about family affairs.

Of course, both of them only said things that everyone knew, such as home address, father's official title and so on.

Let's talk about boudoir pastime.

But I heard the maid Qian Cao knocking on the door: "Miss Jia, Miss Jiang, Aunt Du Ruo asked the two girls to go to the front hall, and the Empress of Changchun Palace sent a female Shi to visit the young masters."

Jia Nvshi?

After Yingchun was stunned for a moment, she was overjoyed, her heart pounding wildly, this must be an excuse for elder sister Yuanchun to visit her.
