A visit to Fangchun

After a few days of stalemate like this, Concubine Yuan suddenly issued an order: "I miss my sister again. Let Tan'er and Baochai come and bring those two maids."

Mother Jia was already annoyed by Aunt Xue's troubles, so she sent a letter to Concubine Yuan, asking her to quickly solve the troubles caused by the Wang family.Concubine Yuan saw the whole story of what Jia Mu said, and she was angry and funny.Among them, the grievances between Baochai and Tanchun are naturally the most fundamental reason, so she thought, she should take another look at these two girls and see how they should be placed on her chessboard.

Because it was summer, Tanchun and Baochai agreed to choose light dressing, trying to be neat and cool without losing dignity.

Yao Huang and Wei Zi were tricked by Ping'er.

As soon as the two of them heard that they were going to be brought into the palace to show to the imperial concubine, they panicked with excitement and pulled Ping'er to ask how to prepare.

Ping'er laughed and said: "Since you two are girls, it's the girl's preparation. When you enter the palace, just stick to your girl's duty. If it's hot today, I'm afraid the girls will dress cooler, so don't be too heavy , it seems that the girls are frivolous. The second thing is to enter the palace, keep your head down and don't speak, let your head rise again, and let your mouth speak again. In addition, I heard that today I like to celebrate and be lively, so don't dress too plain, your face You have to put on makeup. That’s all, I don’t know about the rest. I’m afraid you won’t be able to see anyone at that time, but your mother will take a look and let you wait in the next room to go out with the girls That's the palace."

Because Jia Lian's attitude changed drastically after going out for a trip, and everyone treated her indifferently, and also heard that Mrs. Wang sent someone back to Wang's house to ask for her family and body deed.The two girls only felt that it was extremely inappropriate, as if things were not as they imagined.Miss Xue is afraid that she will not be able to use her, and she will not be able to follow her into the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth.

As soon as this idea came up, the two immediately became suspicious of Ping'er.

But today, none of Ping'er's exhortations sounded out of line and meant to harm the two of them.The two quietly went to Qiushuangzhai and Hengwuyuan to inquire, and sure enough they also heard that the two girls were afraid of heat, so they both asked to prepare cooler dresses.Especially in Hengwuyuan, I met a girl serving Baochai at the gate of the courtyard, she seemed to be called Konoha, and she was still complaining: "It's a hot day, I can't move my face with sweat, and I have to put on makeup, and I have to find that sweaty girl." The rouge that does not fade, this is really hard for me..."

Yao, Huang, Wei Zi raised their brows with joy, it seemed that I had no reason to be suspicious of Ping'er before, and I believed it all, and they discussed quietly in private: If the empress had taken a fancy to the two of them, would she have stayed at that time? Serve in the palace, so you don't come out anymore?The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was possible, so I thought about wearing thin and soft.Yao Huang thought for a while and said softly: "What kind of soft things do you bring? After entering the palace, what do you have? Wouldn't the empress not reward the person she likes? At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring in anything from outside! Put it aside! It's outside, pack it up, and let my mother take it home later."

In the early morning of the next day, get up early.Ping'er hurriedly sent the two of them to drink a bowl of honey water, and then quietly stuffed them with two pieces of toffee: "The third girl gave it to you. He said that he was afraid that he would not be able to eat anything. If he was hungry and uncomfortable on the way, he would take a pad Pad." The two thanked each other a thousand times.

When they saw Tanchun and Baochai, they felt something was wrong.

Although the two girls are wearing light and soft silk dresses, they are all very neat and dignified.She also put on makeup, but she swept her crescent eyebrows very lightly, and put on a little pink lip balm.

Yao Huang tugged on her clear pink gauze skirt, blinked and tentatively asked Tanchun and Baochai: "You two girls, don't you even wear rouge?"

Tanchun bowed his head and said nothing.After all, Baochai still had some love for incense, so she tilted her head and looked at her strangely: "I made some pink ones, what's the matter?"

Wei Zi hurriedly pulled Yao Huang, whose expression had changed suddenly, and forced a smile: "We both thought we had to dress up grandly, so we used red rouge, for fear that it would be too much of a distraction."

Baochai smiled, shook her head and said, "It's all right, let's see the celebration. Girls should."

Yao, Huang and Wei Zi each wore colorful gauze skirts, with bright green and red tube tops and pure white knee-length trousers, all of which were faintly visible.

Jia Mu frowned and turned her face away, and asked Mrs. Wang softly: "Do these two girls understand the rules? Who allowed them to go to the palace and still dress up in such colorful ways? The time has come, and it will never be too late. Walking in the palace Here, let people laugh at our family!"

Mrs. Wang turned pale with anger at this time.When this rascal entered the palace, people pointed at her nose and sneered, but her sweetheart, Yuan Chun!Involuntarily said to Ling Caiyun: "Bring two sets of your clothes, and exchange them in the carriage for the two of them on the way." Cai Yunfei ran to get the clothes, and just before the carriage drove out of Jia's mansion, she stuffed the bundle into the carriage.

The two of them changed their clothes while weeping. At first glance, they were all the clothes of the maids in Jia's mansion, which were far worse than those of Wang's family.

into the palace.When they followed Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai in an orderly manner and walked all the way to Chonghua Palace with their heads down, Yao, Huang and Weizi were already sweating profusely.

Baoqin took it out, and looked at Tanchun and Baochai with pursed lips and smiled: "Third Miss, Cousin Miss, I'm looking forward to you coming. Your Majesty is waiting eagerly inside, please come in with me."

The two hurriedly bowed their knees and bowed for a while, then smiled and called, "Sister Baoqin."

Yao Huang and Wei Zi also heard from Ping'er that Concubine Yuan was served by the girl Baoqin and Qingyun brought in from Jia's mansion.Seeing that although Baoqin is dressed elegantly, but has an outstanding temperament, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have met Sister Baoqin, sister Wanfu."

Baoqin glanced at the two of them indifferently, with a slight twitch between her eyebrows, she ignored them, turned around directly, and led Tanchun and Baochai.

The two stood up in embarrassment, and walked in behind the two girls.

Yuan Chun loosened her long hair and was lying on the imperial concubine's couch shaking a palace fan to enjoy the shade. He looked up and saw Tan Chun and Baochai, and smiled and got up: "Hey! Come in? Come and cool off! I'm sweating all the way! stop?"

Baochai saluted her with a smile: "All blessings to the imperial concubine and empress." He said again: "Fortunately, those who lead the way are under the shade of trees, so it's not too hot."

Tanchun bowed, smiled and took out his handkerchief to wipe off his sweat: "I can't do it, I'm going crazy from the heat. Do you have cold tea, ma'am? Give me a bowl."

Yuan Chun laughed, and pointed to Qing Yun first: "Go and serve lotus seed soup to your girls." Then he ordered Bao Qin: "I'm getting hot too, quickly tie up my hair!"

Baoqin agreed, and stepped forward to comb Yuanchun's hair.

Yuan Chun didn't look at the mirror either, just smiled and talked to them.Hello old lady, master and wife, aunt and wife, grand master and wife, Jia Zhenyou's family in Dongfu, plus sister Li Wanfeng and girls asked a series of questions, and then asked Baochai: "My former son said , Let Baoyu enter the garden to study with you, how is your study going now?"

Baochai smiled all over his face: "We often chat for a few words, and it sounds like we've improved a lot. Madam, don't worry, brother Bao is still working hard."

Tanchun pouted quietly.

Yuan Chun smiled and pinched her face: "Little girl, do you want to sue again? What? Say it!"

Tanchun hesitated for a moment, bit his lips, and snorted: "He had a close relationship with actors outside, and he was driven to his house to complain the other day, so angry that the master beat him up. I don't believe you have no idea."

Yuan Chun laughed, sighed, and leaned on the couch again: "People in the world have never lived like this before. The actors outside talk about people when they see people, and they talk about people when they see people. Whenever they meet, how can Baoyu be so kind?" Can you escape? I’ve heard about it. The master beat you well this time. Then what happened later? Can he be warned?”

Tanchun covered his mouth and smiled: "Take a warning? Him? Forget it! Big sister, don't count on it! But, the old lady is afraid that the master will beat him up if he sees him angry, so she will tell the master what to do. I don’t know if it was a monk or a Taoist who said that the second elder brother is taboo these days and can’t leave the second door. He won’t be able to go out until August! Now I watch the second elder brother dance around at home every day, and it’s better than in the past Read a few more pages."

Concubine Yuan and Baochai Tanchun laughed.Then he looked at Yao Huang and Wei Zi in a blink of an eye, and with a yo, his smile faded a lot: "You are well dressed. Unfortunately, they are all covered with sweat. Come here, take the two of them down to wash their faces, and let me look at their eyebrows." Be clear."

The two walked out with red faces.The old mother in the palace who followed behind snorted in a low voice: "Fortunately, the clothes are fairly well-dressed."

When she came back after washing her face, she saw Concubine Yuan and Baochai Tanchun drinking a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup, talking and laughing.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Concubine Yuan stopped talking, looked at the two of them, asked her to raise her head, looked at her hairstyle, looked at her shoes and clothes, and suddenly asked: "These two clothes are not yours. Right? Changed before leaving the house? What are you wearing inside?"

The two suddenly looked ashamed and angry.

The old mother didn't care about that, she grabbed their collars and looked inside, and replied to Concubine Yuan: "Big red and green tube tops, pure white knee pants."

Concubine Yuan sneered at the sky, looked at Baochai shaking her head, and sighed with a smile: "These two girls are so lucky that they didn't really follow you, otherwise, just cleaning up the mess for them will be enough for you to work for the rest of your life! "

Turning to look at the old mother, said: "You take two young eunuchs, go out to my uncle's house, and return these two girls to my aunt. Just say what I say: so good-looking and well-bred , A knowledgeable girl is really rare. I have one more thing to point out to me. Two cousins ​​of the Wang family, one for each, will be the housekeeper or the concubine, the future mistress has the final say!"

It was sent directly back to the Wang family.

Baochai blushed from embarrassment.

As early as when Concubine Yuan was talking to the old nanny, Tanchun pulled her to stand up to look at Xiliu outside the fence, and whispered with a smile: "My sister is lucky, the empress will not harm us."
