Returning the Way (28)

Lin Yutong pinched the time and went to the garden. How long does it take? It was about the time to start the banquet? Just pinched the time and passed.

These eunuchs and palace maids who followed him were not with the Empress. At this time, they had already held a banquet where Jia She lived, and there were special managers in charge of the affairs of the other side.

Lin Yutong looked inside and outside and saw that everyone was doing their own jobs and there was no chaos. She took the girl and found a place to go with her cat.

Yuanchun came out of the palace at about 7 o'clock in the evening, and he relied on it again. He slowly arrived at the mansion and was half past eight o'clock. After entering the Jia family, he even followed the flowers all the way, and no matter how long the banquet was, he had to wait until around 11 o'clock.

Therefore, she also slept for an hour, got up and wiped her face, and after she re-dressed, she passed.

In the past, I had just finished my poems and was about to take a single play.

Jia Qiang and a group of little actors were already impatient. The little actors hadn't slept properly since last night and just waited like this. Then it was another day, and they couldn't enjoy eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Finally, it was a while until the Empress came back. It was another two hours. There was no place for them to sit, and it was respectful to just stand blindly.

Jia Qiang was even more busy. Like most masters, he was waiting to welcome the empress, but he didn't want to miss the greeting. So he ran from one end to the other, and then from the other end to this end. He finished the journey that he had been walking for more than ten years today.

After handing over the show, Lin Yutong came on the other end, and he bowed from a distance: Ask your aunt.

Don't be too polite today. Lin Yutong waved her hand and went inside, and turned to him and said: Just keep busy with yours. I know that you are busy today, and you are all pointing at you to run errands.

Jia Qiang bent down and waited for Lin Yutong to come in before getting up. He turned around and felt like the wind was rising, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

Lin Yutong couldn't go in casually. When she saw the show was just right, she waited outside. She just got the show here, and then hugged Qin and reported to Yuanchun in a low voice: Grandma Heng is here.

Please, Lin Yutong could hear Jia Yuanchun's voice outside. When she came out with the piano, she walked in. She went in to salute. Jia Yuanchun hurriedly said: No. We can meet each other at any time, so where did we come from such false gifts? He waved to Lin Yutong to come closer: I said why didn't you see you before? You will definitely not come today.

It was precisely because I could get used to the Queen Mother that I went outside to support me. Lin Yutong walked forward two steps and took a seat closer to Yuanchun.

Yuanchun is Jia Mu on one side and Mrs. Wang on the other side. She is very close to her.

The show was about to start, and all kinds of dishes were placed on the table. They started singing. Lin Yutong looked at the stage, but her ears were tilted to listen to Jia Yuanchun whispering to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Yuanchun first asked Baoyu about it and told him: Don’t look for any real Baoyu and fake Baoyu anymore. If this is true, it would be destined. I looked at it, it was not as stupid as my grandmother said. It was just like an ordinary child, and he was only in his teens. The wife had a good idea. She asked a gentleman to teach him at home, and after working hard for two or three years, she would be able to end up.

Jia Mu wanted to speak but stopped, but looked at the anxious look in the Empress's eyes and said nothing, so she nodded slowly.

Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to whisper: Baoyu's marriage

Yuanchun knew what he had made the old lady unhappy, so he smiled and asked the old lady and said: Whose girl the old lady likes?

Jia Mu's eyes smiled: Your aunt's girl, you, Meimei Lin, is very good. But you didn't come today, you didn't see her.

Is it her? Yuanchun agreed and laughed: The old lady didn't know, I've seen Sister Lin before. The Empress once summoned the Lin family's family's family to the palace, and the elder sister took the young girl there. She had a graceful and delicate figure, right?

Mrs. Wang nodded: The child was born well and was also extremely well-behaved.

He actually said that he was willing to get married.

Yuanchun pondered: I heard that the eldest girl from the Lin family betrothed to the Marquis of Jinghai?

This is a question, but it is also a reminder. The family that the concubine is betrothed is so good that the legitimate daughter can only go to a higher place. She didn't say this, but both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang understood what she meant. But Yuanchun did not say it directly, but said: Since she has a crush on such a good family girl, she should study hard. A year or two later, even if she can be a scholar and a juren, she can see that there is hope for a Jinshi in the future. At that time, we will go to the Lin family to propose marriage, so that we can have a good idea.

It means that if you have fame and fortune, you will take advantage of your marriage. If you don’t want to marry someone’s only daughter, you will be the Lin family, but you will be evil.

According to the rules of family division, most of the property in this family belongs to the eldest son. It would be good if the youngest son can be divided into three parts. Jia Zhu died, but he still has a son. The eldest son is not alone. Therefore, the family business that falls into Baoyu in the future is really clear. Therefore, when it comes to marriage, the legitimate son is different from the illegitimate son, and the eldest son is different from the legitimate son.

Lin Yutong nodded secretly, Yuanchun's heart was actually clearer than anyone else.

But this plan is obviously different from Mrs. Wang's plan. Mrs. Wang thought that if the Empress could have a man and a half woman, the royal grace would be to see if she could give her a title. If Baoyu could be given a title, then the marriage would be appropriate. If she had a title, even if the title was not high, it was due to the fact that the two families were in-laws and were in kinship, and I think the Lin family would not object too much to this marriage. At one point, her idea coincided with Mrs. Jia.

But now, the Empress is thinking about asking Baoyu to study for the imperial examination. Her family knows her family affairs. Her empress has not been at home for many years, so how can she know the difficulties at home? If the imperial examination can stand out, how could she have such an idea?

These three generations each have their own intestines and have not spoken for a while.

Yuanchun has been in the palace for so many years, and has already perfected his words and expressions. He sighed in his heart and said: Baoyu is still young. Even three or five years later, it is not too late to talk about this.

She didn't want to have an unhappy thing today. The family was reunited happily, so it would be best not to mention these unhappy things. Let's plan slowly in the future.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang only thought that Yuanchun meant that there would be a result after three to five years. Thinking that the Empress might have been anxious to have children in the past two years, she became more and more happy. She smiled and commented on the show on the stage.

But these two people didn't know Yuanchun's difficulties.

Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong. She was afraid that she had no way to tell her family. Of course, she didn't want her family to know about this embarrassment. When she came home and saw this wealth and elegance, she almost regarded herself as a favorite concubine who was extremely favored in the palace. But in fact, the daily trembling is not enough to explain the situation in the palace. What kind of honor and decency are there, in the eyes of the emperor and the queen, she is not as decent as this cousin. She can eat with the queen, and the two can play chess for a while, but she can only stand outside when she goes to pay tribute. No matter what kind of heaven is, the master and the queen don't say anything, she dare not leave. Not to mention whether the emperor is favored?

No favor or love!

The emperor looked at himself with desire but ruthlessness.

As for the offspring, I really thought too much.

Lin Yutong was stared at for a long time, and she noticed it. But she didn't know how to do it. However, Wang Xifeng, who was cooking vegetables, quietly poked Lin Yutong and gave a wink at Yuanchun.

Lin Yutong turned her sideways and gave her a blank look, then turned her face to look at Yuanchun, asking with her eyes.

Yuanchun was shocked by this look and said with a smile: Why don’t you bring me here?

Jia Mu hurriedly said: If the Empress wants to see, she will ask someone to carry her.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Lin Yutong's eyes. It was cold and the weather was cold in the middle of the night, and it was not considered close to you. Do you think you would go and hug the child? What's more, it's very noisy here, what should I do if I scare the child?

Grandmother Jia lowered her head and didn't see the displeasure. But Yuanchun saw it really. She felt a little shocked and said: What do you hug? I know best that our Brother Yun must have gone to bed early. The child is sleepy! There are days when we meet in the future.

That means seeing you in the palace.

Lin Yutong curled her body and smiled: Empress Xie was polite. After saying that, she turned around and watched the show and didn't talk to each other anymore.

Yuanchun looked displeased, but turned his face and whispered Muslim Jia: I think the old lady knows very much about Brother Heng. Maybe you don’t know. Today, the old saint said that he asked to take the children into the palace, but the couple did not take the children. The Empress asked, and Sister Tong only said that she was afraid that the children would make trouble. The Empress said that she was afraid that the old saint would not be too young to talk to Lord Jia. As she said that she paused slightly and asked Mu Jia and Mrs. Wang to think through the meaning contained in it. Then she continued: The old saint just said that she had said, and there was no intention of blaming him. She also thought that Brother Yun had not entered the palace to appreciate the lanterns, and specially praised the twelve palace lanterns for Brother to play with. The emperor and the Empress also gave countless other things, and the things were sent to the mansion, but the two of them did not return home to receive the reward and thank him.

What is grace?

This is grace!

If you have pets or not, you should understand everything if you have eyes.

Wang Xifeng and Youshi stepped forward to serve tea, put it down and retreated quietly. But the two of them heard Yuanchun's words and stood far away, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Especially Wang Xifeng, she always thought about the eunuchs who went to the mansion to ask for money several times. She thought about the attitudes of the eunuchs toward the couple before. The eunuchs who came back to learn from Lian Er were ashamed of Brother Heng, as well as the previous palace maids, including Bao Qin's attitude towards Lin Yutong, she was in a daze for a moment.

That's right! The Empress must not be as favored as she imagined. On the contrary, Brother Heng was more favored than she imagined in the eyes of the old saints and saints. Even Tong Yatou, who was also a very decent person in front of the queen.

This perception makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.

But no matter how uncomfortable she felt, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang could not show it at this time. They responded softly, "Empress's tips, I have recorded them all."

It's better to really write it down.

Especially her grandmother, grandfather's glory when she was alive, and her kind decree made her stand on a high place and unable to get down easily. She was afraid that Baoyu, who was raised by her side, would be affected by this. She really thought she was born in a wealthy and romantic family and could be a rich and idle person for the rest of her life.

So he talked about Baoyu again: He is old now, and it is probably not appropriate to follow his grandmother. Why would he ask him to live out, and he should learn to grow up by himself.

Jia Mu responded, but she felt uncomfortable again: When the child's health was better, she would move him out.

I won't give you a clear word.

Yuanchun couldn't disobey it. Seeing his mother holding the veil while holding it, she reached out and patted it gently, comforting her for a while.

As she was talking here, Aunt Xue stared at her. She sat far away and couldn't hear what was being said. But when she saw the three of them talking together, she was thinking in her heart whether it was discussing asking Baochai to enter the palace.

Thinking of this, I felt that I was thinking too much. I may have been here for many days when the Empress comes back. It is always good to ask Baochai to walk around often. She whispered to Baochai on the side: I just wrote a poem, but the Empress praised me alone.

Baochai held her mother's hand and said: Mom was frivolous. If you don't say good or bad, just from the perspective of distance, I am the only outsider. Don't praise me but praise my sisters. She whispered: Didn't you see that all the copyings were done by the girl? The relatives and distant places are different from each other. The empress has a very good rule of law when doing things.

Aunt Xue was not good at speaking anymore, but she felt even more at ease.

Baochai shook her head gently and asked her to watch the show. Now that she saw the Empress, she had to plan something else.

At this time, who is watching the show seriously?

It’s not like watching the excitement. Yuanchun knew that he couldn’t stay there for a long time, so he took advantage of this excitement to say something private to the old lady and ask about the situation in the mansion. These two people only talked about grace, and did not repay good or bad.

After carrying Qin over to remind you about the reward, Yuanchun nodded. This was originally prepared in advance. Now he just asked someone to give the reward as he had prepared before.

What is given to Lin Yutong and Qi is the same as what is given to Wang Xifeng and You.

The reward given to the Fourth Master Jia Xia is the same as that of Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Jia Baoyu and others.

The one who gave to the young lady was the same as Sanchun, even if the young lady didn't come.

What is for Brother Yun is the same as what is for Jia Lan.

Baochai's is the same as the Lin sisters. The ones for Yu Liang are the same as the ones for Brother Yang. The others are Shao Hua's, the ones for Aunt Xue. The ones for Brother Yi are the same as the elder sister of Wang Xifeng's family.

Many people who did not come were rewarded, but then asked someone to send it over.

And the servants of the Manchu Mansion all received rewards. Even Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were rewarded as much as the people around the mansion master.

Jia Mu wanted to say that these things will be the same one day after rewarding them. But she didn't want to say anything, so a eunuch came to remind her: It's the third time, please go back to the palace.

The expressions on the Jia family's faces froze for a moment.

Shocked, confused, and all kinds of expressions.

No one expected that after being busy for so long and spending countless money, the excitement was so short that it would be dispersed.

Yuan Chun was also sad about the difference today, but the expressions of the people in front of him were only the cousin of the family, except for the expressions of the other people, the expressions of the other people were more shocked than the sadness of parting.

This kind of ignorance and unconsciousness, only immersed in the dream of wealth and prosperity, made her even more powerless.

Her tears gathered in an instant, and then fell down. After a long time, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang reacted and then felt sad. They stood up and grabbed Yuanchun's hand tightly: Mother:

Baoqin was already showing an anxious look on the side. Yuanchun calmed down his sadness and comforted him: God's kindness is so great that he may be able to save every month in the palace in the future, and it is easy to meet him. But he must not be so extravagant in the future

The two of them answered one after another.
