Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

For a while, Yingchun supported Jia's mother, and everyone surrounded Yingchun's grandparents and grandchildren like a moon, laughing all the way into the hall.Yingchun was even supported by Sister Feng herself to sit next to Jiamu.

All the maids and women in the house are full of smiles, and the smiles that are proud of you just flow down.Even Mrs. Wang's Xing, who usually feel uncomfortable looking at Yingchun without saying a few words, smiled all over their faces today.

Mrs. Xing praised Yingchun every sentence, and her tone did not know how close she was to Yingchun: "I told our master before that Yingchun, a girl who looks like her size, is born with the old lady. She really followed the old lady, she is a lucky person. of!"

This flattery talked about Jia Mu's heart, and said: "Well, the second girl, she was smart and dexterous since she was a child. I said she is good, which is not bad."

Sister Feng was busy smiling coquettishly: "This is very true, the old lady has never missed it!"

The room was full of people bustling with people, and because they were masters and slaves, they all beamed and praised him.Only praise the winter jasmine as a flower.

This is the first time in Yingchun, and the so-called trending red and stepping black can be seen.

Yingchun was just nervous. When she learned that she would not enter the palace in the future, she wondered if these people would change their faces.

It's just that you don't reach out to hit the smiling person, and focus on what matters at the moment.Yingchun then gathered up her spirits, depending on who was speaking, she agreed with a smile all over her face.

Facing Mrs. Xing, Yingchun was apprehensive and timid: "My wife praised me, it's a great fortune for my daughter to be as good as the old lady!"

Facing Mother Jia, Yingchun blushed: "Old Ancestor, your granddaughter has no place to stand!"

.........

When everyone saw it, they became more and more happy, and surrounded Yingchun to show their love.

For a while, Yingchun asked about everything about food and clothing in the palace.

Only then did Jia Mu smile, and waved to Yuanyang: "You are tired too, don't stick around here, and go to the back to help, it will be to your benefit!"

Yuanyang knew that Mother Jia wanted to ask about confidential matters in the palace, so she hurriedly dismissed all the girls and women.

Only then did Mother Jia ask what she had been holding back for a long time, "Have you ever met your elder sister?"

Mrs. Wang immediately pricked up her ears, ignoring Jia Mu's raised eyebrows, and interjected: "How is your eldest sister? But it's okay, fat or thin, taller than the family?"

Yuanchun is good to Yingchun, but now Yingchun doesn't hate Wang so much anymore, since we can't tear it apart, everyone will live on, but I can stay at home for three to five years at most, it's a big deal, coax She, guarding against her, letting her go, made it through.

Therefore, Yingchun first replied to Jia's mother's words: "Big sister is well. When I saw me, I first asked my ancestors how they were, and then asked them what they ate, drank, and played. It's been talking for half an hour!"

Jia's mother laughed and laughed, very proud: "It's only natural, your eldest sister has followed me since she landed!"

Coaxing Jia's mother, Yingchun turned around and gave Wang a sincere smile: "Eldest sister is neither fat nor thin, and has a rosy complexion. As for the height, I can't say for sure. He was taller than me, and how high he fell to the ground, I don’t even remember.”

While talking, Yingchun stood up, put her hand five inches above her head and said: "I stood beside my sister, and I only reached up to her shoulder, and couldn't reach her earlobe. Big sister compares, big sister is taller than me by a few points!"

Talking about Yingchun, she laughed straight: "At that time, I still disagreed with my eldest sister. She used to be taller than me. Now that I have grown up ten years, my eldest sister is still taller than me. One day I can catch up. Eldest sister only Call me naughty, and eat chestnuts with me!"

Mrs. Wang was delighted when she heard the words, a crack finally opened on her usual dull and stiff cheeks, and then she burst into a joyful smile, and her eyes were moist: "My Yuan'er, you have grown a lot taller!"

Mother Jia heard that the two granddaughters were so harmonious, her heart tightened with joy, she stretched out her hand to pull Yingchun to sit down, and comforted her with a smile: "Well, you don't need to worry about this, you are so young, your eldest sister will be with you when she enters the palace. About the same height, the Fengshui of the Forbidden City supports people!"

This means that Yingchun can enter the palace to be raised soon, so there is no need to worry.

When Sister Feng heard the sound, she understood the elegant meaning, and hurriedly clapped her hands and laughed to make fun of it: "The old ancestor's words are very true!"

For a moment, everyone laughed at Yingchun.

Yingchun couldn't understand the meaning of this, but she couldn't say anything, so she just sat in a daze, her eyes were full of smiles, and her face was full of shyness.

Tanchun sat next to Yingchun, his eyes were full of envy and admiration, but there was an unexplained jealousy in his heart, he never thought that the second sister was so weak that she was better than the eldest sister!

Everyone was laughing happily, but they couldn't help being sullen all the time. It was the first time that Baoyu was forgotten for a long time, and Baoyu was unhappy. We haven't seen each other for a year, and our ancestors are always unhappy when they think about it, so why bother to send the second sister in again? For a family like ours, gold, silver and jewels are piled up in mountains and seas, and we can't spend them all in a few lifetimes, why bother to curry favor with the master?"

Everyone was happy, but Baoyu splashed a basin of cold water, everyone was stunned, and the joyful atmosphere suddenly froze.

Jiamu's complexion suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Sister Feng smiled busy, wanting to describe it.

Mother Jia squinted her eyes here, fell to the ground and loved Jin Sun for more than ten years, and couldn't bear to blame him, so she laughed, hugged Baoyu, rubbed and patted him: "Good boy, grandma knows you are a good boy with a kind heart, and she can't bear the affection of sisters. This is your child's family, no wonder you don't understand, this daughter's family is her destiny, no matter how good her mother's family is, she can't live forever!"

Baoyu pouted: "There is no need to worry about food or drink at home, and it's not that they can't afford it. Sisters and sisters can be happy at home. Why fly to other people's homes and ask others to learn?"

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang's family, heard the words and couldn't laugh or cry.Sister Feng laughed even more: "Oh, my brother Bao, if your daughter doesn't go to other people's house, other people's daughter should definitely not come to our house? Are you still learning? Hahaha, what kind of training do your children know?" ? Did you see how your second brother tortured me? Or did you see your elder brother Zhen torture your sister-in-law?"

Li Wan didn't dare to answer these words, but pursed his lips and pretended to be stupid.

Youshi slapped Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "There is such a sister-in-law like you in the world, and you are not ashamed to tease my uncle like this?"

Sister Feng smiled foolishly: "You are too thoughtful. Even though I love to make fun of you, uncle, I have never hit your eldest brother Jiazhen before. You are too talkative! In the past, Taoist mistakenly looked at you, thinking that you are a virtuous person, but it turns out that you are The sour wife is soaked in the vinegar jar!"

Youshi was ashamed and angry, blushed, gritted his teeth, pointed at Sister Feng and said bitterly: "I'm not afraid of your mouth, I'm old-fashioned, you have to look at you sister-in-laws, and start chewing."

Sister Feng stopped laughing when she heard the words, and slapped herself on the mouth a few times: "Oh, I really deserve it." She leaned over to Yingchun Tanchun and said, "I suffer because I don't know the books. Miss Qianjin, please forgive me!"

Tanchun blushed and just ignored him.

Yingchun has experienced in her previous life and this life, and she has heard and seen jokes in her previous life that are many times more explicit than this one. She looked calm, deliberately raised her eyes to look at Sister Feng and frowned: "What did Sister Feng say? I couldn't hear clearly when I was talking to my third sister. Why don't you say it again, tell me to listen to the hindrance or not, then see if you want to forgive me?"

Sister Feng might as well punch out lively, but she limply sank herself into the cotton, and was taken aback for a moment.

You Shi chuckled, and pinched Sister Feng's pink cheeks: "Okay, I'm called Feng Lazi, and I kicked the iron plate this time!"

Everyone laughed, Baoyu was stared at by Wang several times, and secretly threatened that he was talking nonsense and would call Jia Zheng. Like: "It's because I'm useless, I can't make a booklet to support my sister."

Everyone was amused again, saying that Baoyu didn't know the general idea in their hearts, and they all praised Baoyu for his kind heart.

This chapter can be regarded as a cover story.

At that moment, Jia's mother said: "Your aunt of the Shi family and aunt of the Wang family have come to see you. Go and meet you and make a kiss."

Accompanied by Sister Feng Tanchun, Yingchun first met the old lady's relatives, Mrs. Baolinghou, and asked by the way: "Thank you, Mother-in-law, for taking the step to see, and please greet my aunt, all the sisters in the family are well!"

Bao Linghou saw that Yingchun's skin was like snow, with a natural expression, a dignified posture, a calm voice, high and low, and no mistakes in etiquette, and he felt ashamed and jealous.I regret in my heart that I didn't dare to run Yingchun like that at the beginning, but now that my daughter has become a useless person, it's really a slap in the face.After all, she has been Mrs. Hou for many years. She is thick-skinned enough to lose to others. She forcefully smiled and stood up to help Yingchun. Si Pazi pressed the corner of her eyes: "Good boy, you are a blessed one. Your sister Xiangjun, please, well!"

Yingchun smiled: "Auntie, don't worry too much. Imperial Physician Dong is said to be one of the best doctors in the harem. With his care, my cousin will definitely recover!"

Mrs. Baolinghou continued to babble, but Sister Feng stepped in and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, all the best doctors in the world are in the palace, this imperial doctor is not good, let's just change it, and don't worry!"

Without waiting for Mrs. Baolinghou to answer, she led Yingchun to her aunt's mother.

Yingchun felt that this drama could pass the re-election smoothly when entering the palace, and Wang Ziteng probably contributed. Besides, Sister Feng is her natal sister-in-law, and she will rely on her to support her in the future, so she is very affectionate to the two wives of the Wang family. Before the two wives got up, they held back: "I'm a junior, it's only natural to salute the elders, why should auntie be polite?"

The two Mrs. Wang laughed so hard that their eyes could not see their teeth, and they knew that their nieces and daughters were really capable, and they handled their sister-in-law so purely and kindly.

Everyone didn't think it, and Mrs. Baolinghou didn't think it herself. Mother Jia's eyes were like spitting fire. From this little action, Yingchun seemed to dislike her relatives of the Shi family, and her face darkened for a while.The meaning in the eyes is unclear.

Although Yingchun didn't see Jia Mu's expression, today's action was decided now, she said that she was afraid of Jia Mu's questioning.

They were celebrating the Spring Festival, and when they walked in front of Aunt Xue, the girl outside announced: "Miss Bao is here!"

This sound came suddenly.

Everyone's smiles stopped, and they all looked towards the door.When I was young, a person came out from behind the screen, but I saw her in a pink shirt, with a plump body, a face like a full moon, soft skin, pink cheeks with a smile, full of hope.It is Xue Baochai, the eldest sister of the Xue family who has all four corners.

Xue Baochai has a plump body and a very delicate body, and her steps are light. She stepped forward quickly, took Yingchun's hand, and smiled kindly: "It's no wonder that the old lady often said that the Forbidden City has good feng shui. Be quiet, and the second girl should breathe more and more. "

It's hard to answer this question correctly, so Yingchun just pursed her lips and remained silent.

Everyone knew it, and they all watched with smiles.

Wang smiled and stretched out her hand: "Bao girl, come here, is the small stage behind Rongxi Hall ready? Where is the banquet?"

Baochai smiled: "It's all right, it's my brother who found the life-saving Sanqing troupe in the city. It is said that the daughter of the danjiao mixes with her like a beautiful woman. The banquet is also good, and everything in the house can be filled. My brother just got a new green lotus root yesterday. I intend to keep some. The things are not expensive, and the lotus root produces lotus flowers, which is a good mood."

Turning her head towards Yingchun, she said, "My sister wishes my second sister will grow lotus every step of the way, and the sky will go straight up!"

Yingchun smiles and blesses her body: "Cherish Hui's auspicious words!"

But Baoyu sneered: "The blue clouds go straight up, hum, who cares!"

Baoyu has always been honest with Baochai. Baochai is not surprised when he sees it, but he smiles: "Yes, we are all lu beetles. Now let me tell you something you like. It is said that Liu Erlang has a role today. Do you want to see it?" ?”

Baoyu's eyes brightened suddenly: "Really, he didn't go out for a trip, how many times has he been back?"

Baochai angrily said, "How did I know that, but I just heard from the lady in charge of the boss's house that it was his elder brother Lai Shangrong who invited him!"

Baoyu hurried out: "It's true, let me see."

As soon as Baoyu's rebel left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

For a while, everyone dispersed and went back to change their clothes and prepare to sit.

Yingchun originally lived with Jiamu, and she packed it up soon. When she returned to Jiamu Rongqing Hall, Yuanyang was waiting: "The old lady is not ready yet! Wait a moment, girl!"

Yingchun squinted her eyes and thought for a while, taking advantage of this time, she smiled at the mandarin duck: "I'll take a look."

Yingchun entered the room, as expected, Mother Jia looked a little worried, and hurriedly whispered to Mother Jia: "The old ancestor is not comfortable there, why don't you rest first, and the granddaughter will talk to the old lady to relax."

Yingchun was so caring, Jia Mu felt a little nervous, stretched out her hand to caress Yingchun's complexion, with a smile on her face: "Let me ask you, why don't you seem to like your Shijia aunt? Are you still angry about what happened last time in Ningfu?"

Yingchun's expression was not stagnant, she wanted to wait until the evening, when Jia's mother was happy, before talking about those bad things, the clinker Jia's mother was a little anxious.

Mother Jia sighed: "I know you're feeling uncomfortable, but it's better if there are more people. As the saying goes, if you have a large amount, you will have a lot of blessings. Besides, there are only two brothers in my natal family. Even though I think they are angry, they are Break the flesh and bones."

Yingchun hugged Jiamu's arm and rubbed it a few times: "I also want to be warm to him, but when I think of Xiangjun's cousin, I feel panicked. Although I don't want to avenge the historian, I can't be intimate. .”

Mother Jia froze when she heard the words, she sat up straight suddenly, she turned Yingchun's cheek to herself, stared at her for a long time and said, "I mean, something happened to you in the palace, and it has something to do with Mr. Xiang, the historian?"

Yingchun smiled wryly: "Speaking of which, it's not Xiang Jun's mastermind, it's just that what she did made her granddaughter feel cold. If you want to treat me like this, I'm afraid the two uncles of the historian are not of one mind with us!"

Thinking of Lord Xiang being disabled and leaving the palace, could it be that he fell into the hands of Yuan Chun and Ying Chun?

Jia Mu's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What happened, you dare to say such words to hurt my heart?"

Yingchun got up and sat on the little scorpion at Jiamu's feet again, with her hands resting on Jiamu's knees, the small fan with long eyelashes was flickering, her eyes moist and aggrieved: "Old ancestor, Mr. Xiang and I, Who do you hurt more?"

Mother Jia was sulking, but when she saw that the Yingchun committee was miserable and asked this question, her heart fluttered, and she forced a smile: "What kind of nonsense is this, even if her surname is Shi, how can you have a biological granddaughter like you? Even if you kill and set fire, I will also Just to protect you!"

Only then did Yingchun hook her lips into a smile: "I knew it!"

Then, Yingchun recounted his grievances with Shi Xiangjun. Of course, Yingchun directly said that Yuanchun was ordered by the queen to investigate the case, but did not say that Yuanchun had ordered Shi Xiangjun to be punished, but Yingchun really didn't know that Shi Xiangjun had a stroke.

Mother Jia was so angry that her neck was stiff and her eyes were red, but she couldn't make a sound.

Yingchun was startled when she saw Jia's mother so angry, she slipped down from her little twig, knelt on the ground, and only wiped Jia's breasts in her hand: "Old ancestor, granddaughter is wrong, you can beat and scold, don't be angry. Already!"

But Jia Mu scolded at this moment: "The heart of a wolf!"

Yingchun was so frightened that Huarong turned pale.If Mother Jia wanted to punish herself, that would be justified, and no one could save herself.The eldest sister and herself were both wrong, and once an attack occurred, Jia's mother would not be able to calm down easily.

Clinker Yingchun didn't wait to come to slap Jia Mu, but was hugged into her arms by Jia Mu and cried: "My son, since you enter the palace and have your sister take care of you, you must be safe. It is thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva that the clinker suffered such a great crime." , did not let the wicked succeed!"

Here in Yingchun, there is great sorrow and great joy, tears welling up in my eyes: "Old ancestor!"

Jia Mu bared her teeth and scolded: "What is the Shi family? At the beginning, your ancestor Jane was in the emperor's heart. In the government, on the battlefield, he saved his life more than once or twice. He owes our family life not just one or two. He didn't say that he would repay you with gratitude, but actually instigated his daughter to bully you like this, tomorrow I will go over and ask Mrs. Shan Guo, how did she teach her granddaughter, do you still remember the relationship at the beginning?"

Yingchun burst into a smile.

Jia Mu stared: "Do you think I dare not go?"

Yingchun wiped Jia's mother's chest and smiled, "Mrs. Shan Guogong has died long ago. Is the old ancestor going to scold her grave?"

Mother Jia was taken aback when she heard the words, and her eyes darkened immediately: "Oh, there were only two of us old fellows left, but now it's me who is so old."

Yingchun heard the words, and stared quickly: "Who said that the old ancestor will never die? Tell your granddaughter quickly, and the granddaughter will go and slap him for you."

Mother Jia snorted when she heard the words: "The hair is frizzy, my daughter's family should be quiet!" Then she smiled: "Oh, if you don't tell me, I'd forget. Now Shan Guogong is not what it used to be. Princess Ronghui's mansion is better than that. The consort's mansion is even more difficult!"

Said this and touched Yingchun's forehead: "The old ancestor is old, and I blame you for being useless. One generation is stronger than the next, and the duke of the country has been inherited for three generations. He is lucky, and he has been demoted three times. How many people laugh out loud in a moment. I haven't dared to go out for more than ten years!"

Yingchun's heart is full of sympathy, and when he meets a son like my father, I'm afraid I'll hang myself on the southeast branch a long time ago.You can't just scold Jia Amnesty for being an idiot.After all, the king is successful, father and son are always in control.Only consolation said: "The ancestors look at the second brother, Brother Bao and Brother Lan!"

Mother Jia rubbed the corners of her eyes: "It's not like that, I'm still alive today!"

Yingchun saw that Jiamu was biased towards her in Shi Xiangjun's affairs, and thought to herself, it would be better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so let's forward the Yuanchun letter to Jiamu today.In this family, perhaps only Jiamu's thoughts can be changed to save Rongfu from overthrow.

Yingchun made up her mind, looked at the mandarin ducks at the door, and said, "Sister, please read these!"

On the forehead of Yuanyang, I went to the hall to wait for my mother-in-law and girl: "Go and wait in the sitting room. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave a step, and no one from outside is allowed to come in. Remember!"

Everyone retreated without a word.

Only then did Yingchun pull out the green phoenix hairpin on her head and hand it to Jiamu.

Mother Jia's eyes lit up: "Your sister gave it to you?"

Yingchun shook her head: "My sister's face has changed, and the city gate is very strict. This one belongs to my granddaughter."

Mother Jia's expression froze: "Is it so difficult?"

Yingchun's forehead: "It is said that the eunuchs like to pass on things entrusted by the palace ladies. The elder sister has not passed on a single word in the past ten years. I think it is because I am afraid that if someone sees through, it will cause a catastrophe!"

Jiamu's complexion changed drastically: "What did your elder sister say?"

Yingchun shook her head: "I have limited meetings with my eldest sister, these things are inferred by my granddaughter based on what she has seen and heard."

Mother Jia shook her head: "Tell me the truth, how is your elder sister doing when she is down?"

How can we say that the spring is stagnant?

Yuan Chun is already the emperor's man?

This cannot be said.

Therefore, Yingchun insisted on the previous statement: "Eldest sister is doing well, except that she can't go out of the palace to visit relatives casually, everything else is fine! You can know that elder sister is doing very well just by looking at the fact that elder sister Yuanchun saved me!"

Jia Mu's forehead: "That's true!"

Mother Jia unscrewed the mechanism of the phoenix hairpin, unfolded the rice paper, and took a closer look, her complexion becoming more and more serious.After a while, he raised his head and asked Yingchun: "Do you know what your elder sister said?"

Yingchun's forehead: "I didn't read the letterhead of my eldest sister, but I know the general content. I ask my ancestors to forgive my granddaughter for this matter. It was my granddaughter who told my eldest sister about the family affairs, and my eldest sister was very shocked at that time."

Yingchun glanced at Jiamu while speaking, but saw that the meaning in Jiamu's eyes was unclear, and then said: "Granddaughter's little knowledge, the tree has dead branches. In order for the big tree to flourish, it should be pruned and the branches should be pruned. If it should be fertilized, then fertilize. Old trees are difficult to support, so in order to sustain the orchard, it is too late to plant another small tree in the springtime.”

Mother Jia heard her heart agitated, but she looked at Yingchun and sighed helplessly: "Oh, I didn't expect my Rongfu to end up in such a world. The prosperity of yin and the decline of yang are not a sign of family prosperity! Very useful, sooner or later it will be someone else's family!"

Yingchun smiled and held Jia's mother: "the granddaughter will refute what the old ancestor said. There is another saying in the world called the same Qi Lianzhi. Besides, the old ancestor is not an ordinary woman. You are the old ancestor. Who in this house would dare Go beyond you? As long as you speak, who dare not listen, not afraid of the crime of disobedience!"

Mother Jia snorted, and handed the Yuanchun rice paper to Yingchun: "Are you the one who talked about the Lai family?"

Yingchun shook her head in astonishment: "This, the ancestors knew about it, and the three-point boundary in my own house is not peaceful, so how do I know about the Lai family's affairs?"

Mother Jia sighed: "If you don't want to read about the Lai family's affairs, tell me!"

Busy unfolding the rice paper, Yuan Chun not only accepts his suggestion, but also suggests that Jia's mother curb the extravagance of the two masters, and proposes that Jia's mother should devote himself to the education of his grandchildren in the next life.Naturally, Bao Yulaner didn't need him to elaborate, she just told them to invite famous teachers and join the Imperial College in the future.Two points are emphasized, about Jia Huan and Jia Cong and the cultivation of promising children among the clan.

Among them, Yuanchun mentioned Jia Yun and Jia Jun according to Yingchun's suggestion. Both of them are widowed mothers.

In addition, Yingchun said two more things, but Yingchun turned pale with fright. First, Yuanchun suggested that the big house and the second house should be exchanged to ensure Jia Lian's succession, so that Jia Lian can move forward with peace of mind, and prevent the outside censor from taking advantage of the opportunity to slander.

The second matter is directly related to Jia's mother. Yuan Chun told Jia's mother that the Lai family slave was a big bully and it was time to get rid of it.

As for the reason, Yuan Chun said two points. One is that Lai Da used to use the name of Rongfu to bully goodness outside, dominate people's wealth, seize people's land, and once caused a life lawsuit. Outsiders didn't know why, so he hated Rongfu. When this incident broke out, it was the second wife who came forward to suppress it with the help of her relatives.

Yuan Chun said that the son does not speak of his father's faults, but it is a matter of the survival of the family, so he has to say it, but he asks Jia's mother to look at her and save some face for the second wife.

Lai Shangrong was mentioned later, saying that he had an impure mind and was beyond his control.

As for how dirty his mind was and how he overestimated himself, Yuan Chun didn't explain in detail, Ying Chun was confused and looked at Jia Mu with ignorant eyes.

But when Jia Mu heard the words, her complexion turned livid, she stood up straight, glared angrily, poked the ground with the crutch in her hand, and cursed bitterly: "You don't know how to live or die, you are so brave!"
