The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

On February 26, Jia Xuan got up early to get ready for the Plum Blossom Banquet at the Sixth Palace. She wore a magenta dress with a light pink tulle dress, a set of ruby ​​headbands on her head, and a black cloak on the outside. , but also solemn but bright.

"Today, Zhou'er will follow me. Chuan'er, you should keep an eye on Qi An at home, and pay attention to the other side..."

"Grandma don't worry"

The Six Princes' Mansion is not very far from Jia's Mansion, and it takes about half an hour to get there by carriage.

Jia Xuan took Zhou'er down from the carriage first, and then rushed to the front to help Jia's mother.Together with Mrs. Wang, she helped Jia Mu get off the carriage, so Jia Xuan had time to look at the Six Princes' Mansion.

Jia Xuan, the door face of Jia's mansion, visited Jia's mansion for a special inspection this time, and it was very luxurious, but the Six Princes' mansion looked very low-key, the wooden door didn't recognize scarlet, but a caramel color, which looked more heavy.

Perhaps it was because of the banquet today, the middle door of the Six Princes' Mansion was wide open, and a string of carriages were parked at the door.One after another, people got off the carriage.

Jia Xuan didn't know these people, so she just smiled and listened to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang greeting the people they met.

"Oh, the old lady is here, please come inside, please..." A young daughter-in-law in her early twenties came out to welcome her.

Jia Xuan originally thought she was a servant or daughter-in-law of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but she was not.And since the three of Jia Xuan entered the door, although the young daughter-in-law was polite to Jia's mother, she kept looking at her, which made Jia Xuan very strange.He lowered his head to look at his attire several times, and made sure there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved.

Listening carefully to her conversation with Mother Jia, Jia Xuan realized that this person was really not the servant of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but the niece of the Sixth Princess...

Following the young daughter-in-law all the way in, all you can see are pavilions, towers, mansions, rockery and flowing water, and the six princes' mansion is very elegantly arranged.A few people could hear laughter before they reached the garden, and it seemed that many people had already arrived.

The young daughter-in-law first brought the three of Jia Xuan to the princess to greet her.

"Greetings to the princess..." Jia Xuan's etiquette was learned on a temporary basis. It can't be said to be elegant, but it can still be handled.

"This is the third aunt of the Jia family, right? I haven't seen it before..." The princess looked kindly, and Jia Xuan called Jia Xuan to speak after seeing the ceremony.

"Yes, it's my third daughter. She married out of town a few years ago and didn't return to Beijing, so you haven't seen her. This time, she followed my uncle back to Beijing to participate in the test..." The son-in-law is talented, and Jia's mother also has a smile on her face. Brilliance, Mother Jia looked proud.

"Is that so? I heard that there is a child..."

"Yes, just over two years old."

The Sixth Concubine nodded, it was right, it seemed that the third aunt and the wife of the Jia family saved their youngest son.Thinking of this, the gaze towards Jia Xuan became softer. "It's about the same age as my kid..."

After the sixth concubine did her best, Jia Xuan also had some ideas in her mind, and when the little man came over to salute her politely, the matter would become clear.However, after all, the Six Princes' Mansion is very popular, and Jia Xuan didn't want to be tied to the Six Princes' Mansion just because of this matter, so she still pretended to be the first to see her on the surface.

Jia Xuan is like this, but the Sixth Princess has more and more fondness for Jia Xuan. She is polite and does not expect to reciprocate her kindness. It is rare to meet people like them and be able to get along with them indifferently. "Go back and give the gift of thanks to the third aunt of the Jia family and add three points more"

"Yes"

"Princess, everyone is here, the activity over there is about to start"

"Then let's go too."

Plum blossoms are naturally indispensable for a plum feast. The red plums in the garden of the palace are just in full bloom, and they stand proudly on the branches in the cold weather, with a somewhat sturdy demeanor.Jia Xuan was fascinated by the red plums in the garden for a while, and it was rare to forget her worries when she was in it.

Someone around me has already taken the lead in writing poems about plums.

"Sister, why don't you join in the fun?"

"Sister, I'm a vulgar one, but I can't write any brilliant poems, so I won't go and make a fool of myself." Jia Xuan still remembers a few lines of Yongmei's poems, what is "Mei Xu is less than three points of snow, and Xue But lose Mei Duanxiang' "I don't intend to fight for the spring, once the crowd is jealous, the fragments are turned into mud and dust, only the fragrance is the same", it's just that it is not her own thing, and she doesn't want to be in the limelight, so why bother.

After a while, all the talented women present finished writing.Headed by the six concubines, everyone picked out the top three, and then everyone tasted them together.Let's not talk about how well the poems are made, just their words make Jia Xuan feel ashamed.I just feel that the writing of the great writers I met in my previous life is only similar to theirs.

After the selection of poems, it's time for everyone's voluntary talent show.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, eighteen kinds of martial arts are all brought out by these people in front of them, and all of them are wonderful, either making people overwhelmed, or making people addicted to them. Jia Xuan's heart was surging when she saw it at the beginning, but she gradually calmed down .When another beautiful girl in green and light pink came up to perform with a pipa in her arms, Jia Xuan suddenly felt uninterested.She can't explain this state of mind, it's as if she's suddenly detached, she can see everyone's emotions, but she feels calm in her heart, as if she's out of it, everything around her is a bit fake...

It wasn't until she left the Six Princes' Mansion and returned to Jia's Mansion, holding Xiao Qi'an in her arms, that Jia Xuan came to her senses.

"Grandma, the gift from the Sixth Prince's Mansion doesn't seem quite right..." Zhou'er hurried in with a box in his arms.

The return gift from the Six Princes’ Mansion was returned by Zhou Er. Originally, I thought it was a normal gift, and there should be nothing valuable. I just registered it and put it away until I go back to bring it back. I didn’t expect it to be a big item. Fortunately, she took it. I was still careful when I was there, and I didn't get bumped.

"What did you get back?"

"I returned a total of four boxes, all of which are very valuable. Look, this box contains red coral. Last time I went with you to greet the old lady in the mansion. I saw it in the old lady's room. At that time, I heard from the elder sister in the old lady's house that this one is worth several thousand taels of silver; and this, this ink, although I can't see it, the fragrance is very unusual, and it is good at first glance. Things; and this, look, this box is actually gold, a total of 100 taels of gold..." How can someone give gold as a gift?

"Put it away carefully, this is the sixth concubine's thank you gift." The sixth concubine meant to buy out this kindness with money, and Jia Xuan had exactly the same intention. "It's fine for you and I to know about this matter, and don't make any noise..." Jia's family is like a sieve, and it can't hide things at all. Whenever there is any news in Jia's mansion, it will be spread to the whole capital within the next day. all know
