The daughter-in-law who led the way walked in the front, and Mrs. Xing followed behind and led Yingchun Baochai inside.The serving girl lifted the crystal curtain, walked around a boy's birthday screen and looked in. In front of her was an arhat bed with bright red rosewood, and a row of boxwood chairs wrapped in cushions was lined up under the east window.There were about a dozen serving servants standing in the room, each holding their breath and not daring to make the slightest noise, which shows the strictness of his family management.Looking up, on the left is Princess Nan'an whose hair is all white, and on the right is Princess Nan'an who is about to choose a daughter-in-law. She is a shrewd middle-aged woman, wearing a big crimson dress and sitting on it.

Baochai missed Yingchun by half of her body backwards, and saluted with Madam Xing. Princess Nan'an turned her head to the concubine on the left and said: "The girl at the head is the next-door cousin of Concubine Xiande, and the one behind is her aunt's cousin. It looks like a water onion." Hearing this, Grand Concubine Nan'an raised her glass glasses and leaned forward to have a closer look, her gaze stayed on Baochai for a moment before she put down her glasses and said with a smile: "They are all good girls! "

There was a maid next to her, and she brought two purses over, and she knew at a glance that it was a gift from the master.Yingchun glanced at Mrs. Xing, and saw that she had bowed her head and lowered her hands and stood by the side after asking about her. Hesitantly, Baochai pulled her on her knees and went down to bless her. When she got up, the girl conveniently stuffed her purse over.Baochai took it and pinched it lightly. It was probably a jade bracelet or something, but there was no expression on her face at the moment, she just accepted it and thanked her.Seeing that they had collected their purses, Princess Nan'an smiled and said, "Go play in the yard, there are so many little girls." Mrs. Xing turned her head and went out after hearing this. Fu Guo chased after him outside.

After waiting for everyone to go out, Princess Nan'an said to the concubine in a low voice: "How do you look?" Princess Nan'an straightened her sleeves, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The second girl of the Jia family looks timid, and she is not afraid to act. She doesn't want to be a woman, let alone a concubine. She looks pretty good, but the Jia family doesn't seem to be willing to give her a dowry. The Xing family is her stepmother, and she doesn't even care about face outside. It can be seen that this girl is also shameless at home. There is no need to ask her to occupy the position of concubine for no reason, and it would be too disrespectful to Mrs. Shi if she is arranged further down, it would be better not to choose which concubine to be the main wife, and the Jia family has nothing to choose." Originally said it was for Nan'an. The son of the king chooses his concubine, but the king of Nan'an also has several sons. The Jia family is still waiting for Xichun, the only daughter in the boudoir, who is not yet young enough to see each other. Look at the position of the side concubine.Princess Nan'an saw Yingchun's soft nature at a glance, and she might not be able to help her family, so she was naturally unwilling to ask her grandson to marry such a useless girl, and since everyone has come, it would not look good to go back for nothing, so it's better to let other grandsons out of concubine Let's settle the marriage.Both sides are concubines, so don't dislike anyone, and don't worry about marrying a concubine with a too powerful daughter-in-law to mess up the status.The families of the four princes and eight lords have long been huddled together, and it is common for each other to be children and relatives of each other. Just don't be too shameless, and the big difference will be over.

Princess Nan'an nodded after hearing this, and said: "The old lady is more accurate. We have seen so little, so our knowledge is a bit shallow. In your opinion, who should Miss Jia Er be married to?" The old lady moved on. Leaning on the cushion and lowering his eyes, he thought for a while and said, "I know you are a good person, and I don't want to embarrass those concubine children. There is nothing wrong with this Jiaer girl, so it's better to give the one born to Fei Cui, and she can't be a gift. "

This refers to the name of the first concubine of King Nan'an. It was originally a first-class maid who was used by Princess Nan'an. She was named Fei Cui. Later, she became a concubine for King Nan'an who had just become a prince. When Princess Nan'an gave birth The first son stopped taking the medicine, and gave birth to a boy the next year.This Fei Cui is a caring person. Seeing that the Nan'an Palace has strict rules and regulations, and she has given up her desire to compete for glory and boast, she honestly shrinks her head and raises her children, not daring to be a monster at all.Princess Nan'an saw that she was obedient and obedient and served diligently, and the king of Nan'an asked all the concubines to go to school, so she let the children go to a serious school outside.After studying for the past few years, although she has never been on stage, she looks a little more refined than the other children. This second girl from Jia's family looks quiet and calm, and she is a good match for him.Concubine Nan'an actually doesn't care what kind of wives she marry to her concubine, and she doesn't expect them to be filial, as long as she doesn't make troubles, there is nothing wrong with it at the moment, nodding her head is in response to Concubine Nan'an's order .

Although the son-in-law and daughter-in-law have not been found at this moment, and it is a matter of arranging a bad son next to him, Princess Nan'an finally heaved a sigh of relief, and asked: "I think that Concubine Jia's aunt is very nice, and she has good-looking eyebrows and eyes." She's so handsome, ordinary people can't raise such a girl." Grand Concubine Nan'an sighed and said, "You know it's her, and this is even more embarrassing. Her family is the royal merchant Xue's family who won the top prize a few days ago. , and led the purchase of hairpins from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But it seems that this job has recently been handed over to the cousin next door, and her brother Xue Pan is the one who attacked the 'Ziwei Sheren' and entered the Ministry of Rites to follow Lin Ruhai. This is inappropriate and unjust, it is really tricky, but she is the only daughter in the family, and the adopted daughter has already settled in Mei Hanlin's family, so there is only calmness in the dowry." Princess Nan'an thought for a while, and named Baochai in her heart To be clear, a decent daughter-in-law of the royal family definitely can't ask a merchant to come out, but seeing that this talent is not from her natal family background, asking her to be a side concubine really overwhelms the main concubine, which is not good, she is indeed a difficult girl to arrange.After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "I don't know which family will be blessed to accept her. Seeing that she is really a rare person, I heard that she entered the palace and participated in the election last year?"

Concubine Nan'an said: "That's not true! The rumors in the head said that she is good in everything, but she is too good to be yellow. Which princess would like to stand beside her who is more brilliant than herself? Didn't she find a family background in the end? The merchant’s excuses are gone. Let me tell you, you can raise any kind of child with any family background, don’t make it like this, you are too high-minded, and it will be embarrassing for others.” Nan’an Princess said with a sigh of relief: “That’s right, Jia Jiayuan She is better at raising girls than others, and the first one who came out of the concubine went into the palace and became a concubine, and the second one after that was also very good, that's all for the best among the concubines. After all, Xue's family is a merchant, so it's not just about the eldest girl who wants to have a daughter. What's the matter, the child will naturally have a higher spirit." After talking for a while, the servant woman outside came in and reported that the son had brought some friends back to ask for instructions, and Princess Nan'an hurriedly said: "Nowadays, everyone in the garden comes to play at home. My daughter, tell him to take all the guests to the outer courtyard, and don't rush!" The servant woman had to order her to step back and spread the word, and Princess Nan'an saw a few girls who came later, and some of them were quite proud, looking at It was almost time to start the banquet, so I helped Princess Nan'an to walk to the courtyard where the banquet was held.

Chu Guanglu was built in the garden of Nan'an Prince's Mansion. The surrounding pillars are all hollow with pure copper, and the fire channel and flue are dug under it, so that the heat can escape, just like the earth dragon burning in the house.People sitting inside, even in the twelfth lunar month wearing only spring and autumn clothes, are not cold. At this time, there are four or five round tables of chicken wing wood in the Guanglu, and girls from various families are sitting and chatting with each other, looking for acquaintances to talk to.This is the first time for Yingchun to go out for a banquet, and Baochai has not received a similar post since she came to Beijing, so these officials and family members do not know each other.Sitting together, the two of them opened the purse they had just obtained, and inside it was a carved emerald bracelet with a water head.At that time, people valued suet white, and things like emeralds looked gaudy, and they were just right for a little girl to play with, so it wasn't out of the ordinary.Baochai took Yingchun's bracelet and compared it with his own. The texture and pattern were similar, and they couldn't be distinguished from each other at a glance.The two tossed and played for a while, Ding Yinger suddenly said: "Miss, it seems that Miss Yang from Da Ci'en Temple has come." When Baochai looked up, she saw Yang Xuying on the opposite side wearing a mint green shirt She still brought her little girl who had just grown her hair all the way over the flowers and willows.

Here, Baochai only had time to tell Yingchun that she was the granddaughter of the Wang family in Nanyang, so Yang Xuying went to the table and sat down, saying, "What a coincidence! I saw Big Sister Xue here." Baochai pulled her away with a smile. Yingchun introduced to her: "This is a girl from my aunt's family. Her family name is Jia." Yingchun smiled, and then Yang Xuying said very bluntly, "Hi, Miss Jia, my family name is Yang. I have only heard of it before. This is the last time I've seen the sister of the Xiande concubine." Yingchun then bent down and nodded, "Hello, Miss Yang." The two sides sat down again after seeing each other, and the princess Nan'an had already helped the concubine to come out and announce Open the table.

The caring people watched An pass the banquet and led the girl up again, and surrounded Princess Nan'an so lively, the rest were just making up their minds to go through the motions.Yang Xuying was sitting next to Baochai with only a chopsticks and a cold dish, and a delicate girl ran over from the other end and urged: "Fourth Miss, the Shizi Concubine is waiting for you, hurry up!" Yang Xu Ying said to Baochai: "This is my aunt who loves me. She took me out to see the world. I will play with you later. Don't wander around so that I won't be able to find you." As he spoke, he gently pulled the table under the table. With Baochai, I'm afraid she has something to do.When other people are in trouble, it's not too troublesome to stretch out your hand slightly regardless of the relationship, so Baochai will understand: "Sister Yang, just go, and don't walk randomly." Saying this, Yang Xuying got up and followed the girl to the side of Princess Nan'an, Sure enough, a woman in a purple gown brought a few girls over, and Yang Xuying stood in the line, looking as if she had been complained about.Here, Baochai just guards Yingchun and eats something, after all, no one comes to other people's house to eat.

The two sisters took out a vajra wishful knot and studied it while tearing it apart. A maidservant came up to add hot soup to the guests. It's just right, please girls go shopping and have fun!" Because they were talking about enjoying the wintersweet flowers, it was inevitable that everyone would disperse and go to the garden, so Mrs. Xing said to Yingchun Baochai: "You also go around, don't follow a log Sitting there as if in a daze." Baochai raised her head to look at Princess Nan'an, who might not be free for a long time, and Yingchun seemed unwilling to sit with Mrs. Xing, so she simply got up to bless her, and took Yingchun to the garden. .She kept an eye out here, just turned around the hanging flower gate and stood still, and asked the servant girl of Nan'an Palace standing next to her, "It's strangely cold in the yard, what scenery is there near this Guanglu?" The maid bowed her head and said, "Go back. Girl, there are still some landscapes under the veranda, maybe you are looking at them with bright eyes." Baochai still didn't move, pulled her and continued to ask: "Is there any fish in the lake? What kind of trees are planted beside it?" Pulling miscellaneous means not going outside.Saying that it was time for a cup of tea, Baochai turned around and led Yingchun back into Guanglu. Mrs. Xing didn't know where she had gone at this moment, only Princess Nan'an was surrounded by one or two girls talking and laughing.

Now everyone is gone, I'm afraid there is something wrong in it.Baochai still remembered Yang Xuying's request just now, so she hurriedly stopped a woman who was carrying things and asked her: "Do you know where the female relatives of the Nanyang Palace have gone? I have a sister who I know well and wants to go with her." Looking at the flowers, I can’t see anyone when I turn my head.” The old woman pointed to the moon door and said, “Just now some girls from the Nanyang Palace knocked over the tea tray and went to the clean room to change clothes.” Something happened. Because Yingchun was timid and afraid of hurting her, Baochai turned around and placed him on the table, saying, "I'll go and see Sister Yang. The second sister just sit here and don't go anywhere." There is something wrong with her head, she nodded with a smile: "I also feel that it's cold outside, it's better to sit and drink some hot tea." She doesn't like to wander around at home, not to mention that she is here as a guest, so she is afraid of taking a wrong step Make people uncomfortable.Seeing that she was sitting comfortably, Baochai left Ying'er and Siqi to watch over her, and took Bailing to go through the moon gate pointed by the woman.

The clean rooms prepared by Nan'an Palace are all small courtyards, Baochai walked forward for a while, bypassing the bamboo forest and looking up, there is a square and clean small courtyard.The girls from the Nanyang Palace that I met just now met Baochai, and she hurriedly made way to the side of the road, only to see that Yang Xuying was not in the team.

"Hey, which family do you belong to?" A long-faced girl stopped and looked at Baochai sideways. Baochai smiled and said, "Sister, let me change clothes. This is not a clean room?" The girl was suspicious for a while. Pointing to another way: "Go over there and ask the servants, it's not here." This obviously diverts people to other places, Yang Xuying is probably in this small courtyard right now, but she doesn't know what to do .After Baochai thanked her, she walked in the direction she pointed, and the bushes stopped and waited as soon as they could hide themselves.The girls from Nanyang Palace chattered along the bamboo grove and went to the mat. When they had all gone out, Baochai hurriedly came out from behind the tree and walked around to the back of the yard.After finishing the shelter in the courtyard, several cannas were used to connect the courtyard wall. Baochai wanted to enter sideways, but the lark came up and kicked the flowers and trees, leaving a big hole and said, "Miss, be careful." , Mo sprained his foot."

The master and the servant squeezed in together, only to see that the door of the room on the west side was stuck outwards, and someone inside was knocking on the door anxiously.Baochai ran over to the door and said, "Sister Yang, is it you?" Sure enough, Yang Xuying said from the inside: "Thank you, Big Sister Xue!" Go forward and lift the latch and put it on the ground next to it.Yang Xuying pushed open the door and dragged the hairless girl out from the inside. As she walked, she heard footsteps coming from outside. The voice was lower, not like the small steps of girls.

I wanted to ask the reason for this, but now the commotion outside is not very good, Baochai hurriedly asked Bailing to carry the girl on his back to lead the way, and he and Miss Yang supported each other and ran along the wall, with great difficulty Leaving Canna out of the way, only to hear that the courtyard door over there was pushed open by someone.Yang Xuying dragged Baochai and Bailing into the bushes outside the courtyard wall without making a sound, wandered around into the garden somehow, turned around again and only smelled a faint fragrance.

"Put Zhenlong down first, so people will see it and make people suspicious." Yang Xuying stood still and said to Bailing, "Excuse me." Sure enough, Bailing put the little girl down and pinched her hard. He stood up and leaned against the roots of the tree for a while.Yang Xuying saw that there was nothing serious about Zhenlong, so she turned around and gave Baochai a blessing, "Thank you, sister Xue, for saving me." After a pause, she told Baochai her hidden feelings.That long-faced girl was originally a daughter of another concubine's wife's natal family in the Nanyang Prince's Mansion, and she wanted to enter the backyard of the current Prince of Nanyang's son. The Princess of Nanyang didn't like this kind of thing, she just used her as a pioneer to go out, it would be embarrassing It's not just the face of the direct branch of the Nanyang Prince's Mansion that's lost.

Then Yang Xuying knew in her heart that most of the girls in this in-law's family had listened to Nanyang Wangfei's instructions, but because her father didn't want to make herself and the fourth prince small, she simply made her lose her innocent reputation in front of everyone. , then you have to follow if you don’t.In this way, one is to form a relationship with the fourth prince's house, and the other is Yang Rui and Yang Chuanlu's daughter to be a concubine, this is serious and serious.Fortunately, the eldest daughter of the Xue family is not only smart, but also has a chivalrous heart to save people from fire and water. Even because of this sister-in-law's character and character, the emperor Shang Xue's family is very happy to marry.

Baochai heard the bitterness in her words, and it was not good to comment on other people's family affairs, so she just looked up at the yellow flowers all over the tree and said, "Sister Yang, since you came to enjoy the flowers, why don't you fold one and take it home?" Yang Xuying also nodded and said "That's right, the flowers bloom just right!" As they said that, the two walked to the front, and sure enough, they arrived in the wintersweet forest in a few steps, and they could vaguely see other girls admiring the flowers here.

Bailing found two that faced south and had huge bones and broke off. Baochai and Yang Xuying each had one, and after turning around twice, they walked side by side to the mat again.At this time, the girls who came to enjoy the flowers also went back together in twos and threes, surrounded by people, most of them had a branch of wintersweet in their hands, and walked to the banquet in a crowd.Halfway through the walk, I met the long-faced girl I mentioned earlier, who was walking into the garden in a panic, when she saw Yang Xuying approaching her, she was about to pull her, and said while moving: "Everyone goes out together, but you are the one It's gone, Auntie is waiting for you!" Xuying moved her hands quickly, and she hid back and said, "Why didn't I know? Didn't I agree that you go back, I want to enjoy the flowers, you treat everyone like you Do you want to be a concubine?" The girl choked for a moment, her face flushed immediately, she wanted to make a fuss but seeing people around her, she covered her face and ran away.

The author has something to say: I edited it, the original outline was to explain the reason in the next chapter, but everyone said that it was a little unclear, so I simply revised it and mentioned the reason earlier.Since it is not the main story of the protagonist, it is good to explain the background.

Because I had no income for two consecutive months, and my collection was not enough to enter V, so I accepted an undergraduate graduation thesis the day before yesterday, and I received 1000 and [-] hard-earned money for [-] words.After two nights of writing, there is no way to use money to support the family. At present, brother Rui's father has not found a job, and the code word here is the main source of income.Because I have been cultivating Yexian for two years, I didn't update it yesterday. I just woke up and revised this chapter. I will update it normally tomorrow.
