[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

This is Jia Yan's first time entertaining guests after she became an imperial concubine. Although it is only some female relatives, and the name is just a gathering of relatives of her own family, so except for the two kneeling and six knocking rituals at the beginning, all of them use hairpins afterwards. It should be replaced by etiquette, so as not to spoil the interest by being too serious.But the female officials and servants standing around here, as well as the aura in the air, invisibly showed the royal style.

Not to mention Li Wan's widowed aunt, Mrs. Li's family, even Mrs. Xing was equally reserved.

Instead, it was Aunt Xue. She knew that her daughter had already won the heart of the empress above, and the Xue family was about to get up with them, so she relaxed a lot in her mentality.

After all, their Xue family is a merchant family, if they put on an aristocratic style with other people, it will definitely be ridiculed. On the contrary, if she is wrong about 01:30, others will not care.

Therefore, sometimes, Aunt Xue will also use this |unspoken|rule| rule to improve her favorability and get closer to the other party.

Seeing the cold scene, Aunt Xue pointed to the red plums enshrined in the beauties on the high tables on both sides: "The red plums are elegant and delicate. After all, they are the empresses, not the same as us."

Jia Yan smiled and said, "Mrs. Xue's statement is wrong. I didn't arrange this. It was delivered by Rong's daughter-in-law early this morning."

Of course, Qin Keqing couldn't just send a few red plums alone.She took the girl and woman to their own Huifang Garden early in the morning to cut some red plums that she thought were the best, and picked out the best ones, and put them in a pair of official kiln beauties and gave them to Jia Yan herself. Come.The other red plums were naturally sent to various places for the girls to decorate their houses.

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "In terms of thinking about this aspect, the old lady is naturally the number one, and then there are Miss Lin and Miss Si, each of whom is poetic and picturesque. They are all top-notch. In the past, I only knew Rong's daughter-in-law It’s a good one, but I don’t know what’s good about it. Now that I’ve seen these red plums, I know Rong’s daughter-in-law is really pitiful and lovely, no wonder the old lady always said that Rong’s daughter-in-law is No.1 among the great-grandson’s wives.”

Although it is said that Qin Keqing has passed the Ming road, Madam Xing still has a dislike for her in her heart, so it is just a matter of saving face and affection for Qin Keqing in the past.

Even about the Qingronghou Mansion, Mrs. Xing would rather ask Mrs. You than Qin Keqing.

Mrs. Xing's words are polite and sweet, but who here is not a mirror?

It's just that no one else dares to argue here.

Even Youshi, even if he has feelings for this daughter-in-law, he knows that Jia Rong doesn't like this wife, but on the surface, Youshi still wants to speak for Qin Keqing.

You Shi said: "Madam, I'm flattering you. She's such a small person, how can she deserve such praise from my wife?"

There was no show, and Jia Yan didn't like to drink, so he only used some homemade grape juice to accompany him. After a while, Jia Yan went back to the Thanksgiving Hall by himself, and asked Jia Mu and others to play in the garden by themselves.

Mother Jia also knew that Jia Yan was now the imperial concubine. If she visited the winter snow scene in the Grand View Garden with them, it would seem like a family relationship, but the imperial concubine's pomp was there. Yan was also uncomfortable, so he took Jia Yan's words and took the guests, his daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and a group of granddaughters out of Mude Hall and went elsewhere.

There is a large lake between the rockery at the entrance of the palace and the hall in the middle, called Fuchi. On the east side of the Fuchi is a half-acre lotus pond. The lotus pond used to be Shi Xiangyun's lotus root champagne.

The maids and women of the Ou Xiangxie had already got their words, and they burned the fire wall and the earth dragon vigorously. As soon as they entered the house, they were greeted with a warm fragrance.

Jia's mother had long seen the silver-red soft smoke that was as bright as haze, which made the lotus root and Champs covered in silver look more springy in winter.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, although there are fewer antiques, they are still exquisite. There are also many playthings, such as Jiulian Yuhuan, which are placed on the Baibao Pavilion, and placed with those bamboo cages for grasshoppers and crickets. put it in one place.There are several pots of narcissus beside it, and the flowers in one of them are crooked and drooping on one side.

Jia's mother knew that Jia Yan and Shi Xiangyun were upset a few times, and she was worried that Shi Xiangyun would be uncomfortable after entering the garden, but now that the gloom on Shi Xiangyun's face was completely swept away, and she looked at the room again, she knew that Shi Xiangyun was doing well .

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun didn't see any haze, but was more lively than before, she knew that she was doing very well.

After drinking tea at Shi Xiangyun's place, after a while of relaxation, Jia's mother moved to Tanchun's Qiushuangzhai.

As soon as she entered the door, Mother Jia attracted her attention to the big round table in the middle: "What's the matter? This gardener is too careless. I just wanted to say that the narcissus was drooping at the girl Yun's side. And the third girl The flowers here have just opened their buds, but none of them have bloomed!"

Tanchun smiled and said, "Old lady, this narcissus was not sent by the gardener, but we raised it ourselves."

"You raised it yourself?"

Tanchun said: "That's not true. When I first entered the garden, the second elder sister said that in the past, the narcissus were raised and brought in directly from below. They look good, but they are not interesting. Therefore, it is very interesting. I sent some narcissus balls for us to grow by ourselves. We only thought that this narcissus was easy to raise, but we didn’t expect it to be so difficult! Sister Bao’s flowers bloomed the earliest, and Sister Yun was careless, so the raising was wrong, and it came to me , but it has not bloomed for a long time. If we talk about who is well-raised among the sisters, one is sister Lin and the other is sister Xing. Especially the one from sister Lin is crystal clear, just like the crystal carving. We all say Rare."

Aunt Xue was very surprised. Mother Jia hesitated for a moment, and said, "I see. It must be that Miss Lin put the flowers in the dark of the room, where they could not be exposed to the sun, so they looked like that."

Tanchun smiled and said: "The old lady is still very knowledgeable! When Sister Yun saw the narcissus book, she liked it very much. She couldn't help asking Sister Lin for it. She didn't want Fourth Sister to like it too. Sister Lin said He told us how to grow flowers. Now not only Sister Yun and Fourth Sister, but the rest of us are raising this crystal-like narcissus in the dark."

Mrs. Xing and others said it was rare.

Tanchun asked the waiter to wait for the girl to move out the pots of narcissus that were under the high table in the corner of the back room.

Although these pots of narcissus are still small and only have a few leaves, they are somewhat crystal clear.

Aunt Xue said: "Ms. Xianjun really has a clever idea. She doesn't look like the old lady's granddaughter, but rather the old lady's own granddaughter."

It made Jiamu laugh for the first time: "Girl Feng also said the same thing back then." After a pause, Jiamu said with a look of nostalgia: "This method was unintentionally made by her mother when she was young. I found it, and I showed it to the old man. I don’t want to, in a blink of an eye, half my life has passed, and her mother is gone.”

The historian and the Jia family are also family friends, but they are not as decent as the Jia family, and they are not one of the four kings and eight princes. However, Jia's mother and Jia Daishan's marriage is also well matched.

Back then, Jia's mother and Jia Daishan were loving couples who respected each other as guests and raised their eyebrows. After Jia's mother came in, they left two sons, one daughter and three children, and they stood firm.Even though Jia Daishan had taken some concubines, he couldn't change Jia's mother's position at all.

It's just that, conniving the love between husband and wife, Jia's mother still has a flaw in her heart, and this flaw has long since become eternal with Jia Daishan's death.

If we say that the happiest time of Jia's mother in this life, it is naturally when Jia Min was still young. At that time, Jia Amnesty was still studying with the East Palace, Jia Zheng was also diligent and studious, Jia Min was innocent and cute, and Jia Daishan was too powerful because of his high status. Take it seriously, why is Jia's mother not going well?

On the contrary, she was getting old, and her daughter left first, and asked her to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. The two sons were not as good as when they were young, so she had to cruelly calculate her daughter's only flesh and blood in this world.

However, this calculation of hers was seen by the younger generation.

Mother Jia's thoughts on Lin Daiyu were complicated: firstly, as Jia Min's biological daughter, Lin Daiyu was different from her granddaughters in terms of blood closeness; secondly, Mother Jia had to plot against Lin Daiyu. I feel a little sorry for Lin Daiyu, but likewise, Mother Jia is also embarrassed.In particular, Jia Yan saw all of this, and was even cut off halfway by Jia Yan.

Therefore, Mother Jia didn't say anything about Lin Daiyu's living in the East University courtyard, and kept silent about Lin Daiyu's mourning and filial piety in the Grand View Garden.

After many years, seeing the ice crystal narcissus with a happy family and mother and daughter again, will Jia's mother feel better?

But Mother Jia finally only sighed.
