Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Although the Empress Dowager had never met Zhen Yinglian, she was very happy that her niece and granddaughter came through the hardships and died auspiciously.Therefore, the empress dowager was busy sending someone to Jia's mansion to pass the decree, and asked Jia's mother to bring several granddaughters into the palace to speak.

This is a great favor.But the whole family doesn't know where this kindness comes from!

At such a time, Jia Lian was bathing in spiritual temperature books in Shuijingfang, his study. Although he inherited a stomach full of poems and books, the time was right, the articles written by the old ancestor at that time were not suitable for the present.

Therefore, under the guidance of Zhang's uncle, Jia Lian reorganized his thinking, eliminated the dross, absorbed the essence, innovated, and strived to write articles with his own thoughts instead of copying the clichés of books.

Not long after, Jia Lian changed his manuscript three times and finally wrote an article. He was complacent when he suddenly heard Ping'er's voice cooperating with the mandarin duck.

Jia Lian listened intently, but it was the Empress Dowager who summoned Jia Mu to see her.

Although the Jia Mansion and the Zhen family are old relatives, the Rong Mansion supported Prince Loyalty before, and had no relationship with princes other than the crown prince. With the four princes back then, they only maintained the superficial courtesy of loyal ministers. Although there is filial piety every year, it only makes their mother more financially rich.It is true that there is no help.

Therefore, when the little emperor came to power, although the empress dowager did not alienate the Rongguo mansion, she was not very enthusiastic. Every year, the female family members of the Rong mansion entered the palace, but they took a big step. Not summoned alone.

This time, it was the first time that Jia Lian was summoned by special decree. Jia's mother had some doubts about this kind of grace, and she was flattered. Therefore, she asked Yuanyang to call Jia Lian, and wanted to inquire about the news. After all, Jia Lian was in the palace. On duty, the news is much better than ordinary people, and there are always clues to be found.

Jia Lian already knew the purpose of her visit from the discussion between Yuanyang and Ping'er, so she put away the scroll and came out to meet her.

Yuanyang hurriedly returned the gift, and said with a smile: "For disturbing the second master's study, it is really the old lady who has something to ask, so I ask the second master to forgive me."

Jia Lian sideways avoided: "My sister represents the old lady, how dare I blame you, I have to ask my sister to lead the way."

Ping'er watched with cold eyes from the sidelines, thinking in his heart that every time he saw the mandarin ducks, the second master would play a lot, seeing those eyes smiling so much that they turned into pea pods.

For a while, Jia Lian arrived at Rongqing Hall, and after listening to Jia's mother tell the story, she had some guesses in her heart, and said, "Returning to the old lady, my grandson seems to have heard people talking about it a few days ago, saying that the Empress Dowager is going to meet her in the next few days." The natal families of several princes and concubines are discussing with them about the engagement and marriage, and today it is the turn of the Marquis Yan’s family, and Miss Yu said before that she wants to look after Cousin Zhen, maybe it’s for this reason.”

After hearing the words, Jia's mother thought about it carefully, and felt that Jia Lian's words were reasonable, and immediately felt relieved: "Well, speaking of it, the Zhen and Jia families have been married for generations, and your great-grandfather's sister is the ancestor of the Zhen family and the grandmother of today's family. Miss Zhen should be His Majesty's cousin."

There is another matter that Jia Mu didn't say, the little girl from the Zhen family is now serving as a female official in front of the Queen Mother. Like Yuan Chun, she is twenty this year.

The girl from the Zhen family seems to have taken a fancy to Jin Shang, and it is said that the reason why my sister-in-law is alone is because of her seniority.

The empress dowager didn't want people to poke her back, and she didn't want her natal family to be ashamed, so she kept looking after the prince and grandson for her, and wanted to marry off her niece and granddaughter, but Miss Zhen didn't agree, so she kept procrastinating.

Speaking of which, as long as there are no selfish distractions, the daughter of Duke Cheng'en's mansion really doesn't have to worry about marrying.

Although Jia's mother here sent people to tell Jia Lian, she and several girls had already packed up and dressed up, and when she heard Jia Lian's words, she immediately felt at ease.

Jia's mother said: "The empress dowager sent a half-legged car to meet you. Your father and uncle are not here. You go to receive me. I will talk to your sisters and come when I am young."

Yingchun and the others have never been to the palace, and the ladies are not bad at etiquette, so Mother Jia only needs to explain some taboos in the palace.

Jia Lian came out to receive the angel at the order of Jia's mother, but it was Qin Quan, the chief eunuch of Ningshou Palace, who didn't know him very well, but he recognized him.Normally, Qin Quan's nostrils were turned upside down, and Jia Lian was a small imperial guard, and he didn't care about him.

Today, thanks to the blessing of the Empress Dowager, Qin Quan was very enthusiastic. He bowed his hands to Jia Lian, full of compliments: "Young Lord is a good character, chivalrous and courageous, help the Empress Dowager's niece and granddaughter. Later, the Empress Dowager will be rewarded. We will give it to you in advance." Congratulations to you, the young master has a bright future!"

Jia Lian didn't think about it that way. In the previous life, Jia's family was ruined and the empress dowager didn't give her a hand. The empress dowager and Jia's blood were separated by three generations. Just don't attack Jia's house in advance.

Thinking about it, Jia Lian's face showed a look of being flattered: "At the beginning when I tried to save people, I just couldn't see her because I couldn't bear it. Later, Zhen's family recognized her, so I realized that she is also a lucky star of Miss Zhen."

Jia Lian had to make it clear that Zhen Yingjia didn't want to recognize Zhen Yinglian, it wasn't the Jia family's failure to inform, and it was not the Jia family's fault that they delayed the recognition of the queen mother, grandparents, and grandchildren. Jia Lian hoped that the queen mother would not vent her anger.

Qin Quan was even more flattering when he heard the words: "That's why I say that the young master is a good character!"

At such a time, Mother Jia and these girls had already dressed neatly and passed through the Chuihua Gate.

Jia Lian hurriedly went forward to greet her, and helped Jia Mu to board the Luanjia. The Luanjia was spacious, and Jiamu took the five girls without crowding.

Jia Rong happened to be on duty, and came here after hearing the news, and together with Jia Lian rode a horse to escort Luan Jia into the palace. Jia Lian and Jia Rong both had fair complexions and handsome faces. The three smiled knowingly. Through the last Lantern Festival incident, the younger sisters had a deeper understanding of Jia Lian, and the previous blood ties have become the admiration and honor of today's children.

Zhen Yinglian and Daiyu looked at each other hot-eyed, Zhen Yinglian was fine, but Daiyu was very lively, she stretched out her hand to pinch Tanchun next to her: "I know you have a good brother, why don't you show off like this all the time?"

Daiyu didn't feel any pain when pinched, so Tanchun simply moved her face closer: "Pinch it, pinch it, I know my sister is jealous, so pinch it well to vent my anger!"

Daiyu raised her chin when she heard the words: "Who is jealous? The second elder brother has already said that he regards me as his own sister!"

Tanchun's face was narrowed, and he stared into Daiyu's eyes with his chin propped: "Which second brother said? Lian's second brother or Bao's second brother?"

Daiyu hid, hugged Jia Mu's arm and acted like a baby: "You are dishonest, so I won't tell you!"

Tanchun wanted to chase after her, but Yingchun stretched out her hand to stop her: "Don't stand up, be careful not to fall."

Daiyu raised her head from Jiamu's arms, wrinkled her nose at Tanchun, and smiled at Yingchun again: "Second sister is the best!"

Tanchun was not convinced: "Second sister, you are helping sister Lin and not me!"

Xichun made a shy face at the side: "Third sister also said that sister Lin is jealous, aren't you jealous?"

Tanchun frowned, threw herself on Jiamu's lap and acted like a spoiled child: "Look, old lady, they teamed up to bully me!"

Mother Jia put her arms around Tanchun, tapped her forehead, and said with a smile, "Well, I think your second and fourth sisters are all good, but you like to make trouble."

Tanchun leaned into Jia Mu's arms and smiled like a flower: "The old lady is the most eccentric!"

Xichun looked at Daiyu and Tanchun in Jiamu's arms very jealously, and stretched out her hand to pull Tanchun: "The old lady prefers you the most. I'm younger than you, so she doesn't hug me either!"

Jia Mu suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes: "I just finished praising you, and you're making a fuss!"

Yingchun is very envious of Daiyu Tanchun's liveliness, but she can't learn it, so she hugs Xichun: "Don't be envious, I will hug you and not them!"

Zhen Yinglian also hugged Xichun: "I hug you too!"

Xichun hugged Zhen Yinglian and Yingchun one by one, and protested at Tanchun Daiyu: "I have two older sisters who love me, but you don't!"

Everyone immediately laughed, and Mother Jia saw that the girls in her family were all bright and bright, like flowers, and even Yingchun became more and more cheerful, so she couldn't help but narrowed her eyes with a smile.

It's easy to pass the happy time, and the laughter here has not stopped yet, eunuch Zhang reminded outside: "Xihuamen is closed."

After entering the Xihua Gate, they entered the imperial palace. The girls suddenly fell silent, and even Jia Mu straightened her waist.All of a sudden, the car frame was on the imperial road, and the high walls on both sides were solemn and silent. The girls in Luan's car, especially Zhen Yinglian, trembled slightly. Yingchun noticed it and changed places with Xichun. : "Don't be afraid, this is your relative, you just think that you are going home and seeing grandma, grandma will definitely tolerate you and love you, so you won't be afraid in your heart."

Zhen Yinglian nodded lightly when she heard the words: "Thank you sister."

After only three quarters of walking, the carriage entered Ningshou Gate, and after another quarter of walking, Eunuch Zhang reminded everyone: "The Hall of Mental Cultivation is here."

Yangxing Hall is the place where the Empress Dowager lived, and Mother Jia led several girls off the Luanjia.There were several mothers and aunts waiting for them. Jia Mu led Daiyu Zhenyinglian from left to right. Although the three Yingchun sisters were behind, they entered the hall for a while. Jia Mu led the bow and the Yingchun sisters followed. A loving voice, the voice is mellow and sweet: "Hurry up and get up, give me a seat!"

Jiamu sat down, and then the girls sat down.

The Empress Dowager spoke politely to Mother Jia, but her eyes fell on the girls. Her own blood finally sensed it. Her eyes fell on Zhen Yinglian, and she turned to look at the girl in purple beside her: "It's really your cousin who found it!"

After saying that, the Empress Dowager stretched out her hands towards Zhen Yinglian: "Lian'er, come forward, I am your aunt!"
