dream of red mansion

Chapter 494 Arrival
The night of welcoming the moon on August [-]th is destined to be a sleepless night for everyone in the Jia family.

On the [-]th day of the next day, from the middle of Jia's mansion to Jia's mother, all those who have official titles are dressed up according to their products.

At this time, if one looks from the sky above Jia's mansion, one can see that the two mansions of Ning and Rong are brightly lit, illuminating the sky.

The garden is even more majestic and splendid.The tent dances with the coiled dragon, the curtain flies with the phoenix, the gold and silver are colorful, the jewels shine, the tripod burns the fragrance of the lily, and the vase is filled with the stamen of Changchun.

Quietly without a trace of coughing.

The streets and alleys have long been covered with embroidered curtains.Jia Zheng led the men to stand outside West Street, while Jia's mother waited outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

This waited for more than an hour, and there was no movement until noon.

Although everyone was constrained by the state system and did not dare to act rashly, they felt a little impatient in their hearts.

Suddenly, a eunuch from the Huangmen came riding on a horse, came to Jia Mu, saluted and said, "Old lady, your majesty has not had dinner for the first time, and is not going to worship Buddha in Baoling Palace. You first entered Daming Palace to receive a banquet and watch the lanterns. I'm afraid that Xu Chu will be able to get up."

"So it's early?"

"Yes."

Wang Xifeng is already out of confinement, she likes this kind of ostentatious scene the most in her life, so why would she be absent?So stand tightly behind Jiamu.Wen Yan said: "In this case, old lady, madam, please go back to your room to rest first, and it will not be too late to come back when the time comes."

Jia Mu nodded, and Mrs. Wang and others went separately.Li Wan and Wang Xifeng called the eunuchs and deacons to go down and have some wine and food, and then took them into the garden to pick, cut, cut, candles, fireworks, etc. without mentioning it.

Jia Qing had been waiting here with Jia Zheng and the others since early in the morning. In the face of such a family event, he did not have too unconventional ideas.At this time when everyone was resting, he found an opportunity to sneak back to Ningguo Mansion for a while, and didn't come back until it was almost Xu time.

Jia Zheng and Jia Lian have always been in charge of welcoming Yuanchun back to the province.After the garden was completed, the Ningguo Mansion basically had nothing to do with it, so he could get out of it at this time.

He really didn't pay much attention to Yuan Chun's return to the province.He invested heavily in the construction of the Grand View Garden, and it was never for the purpose of welcoming Yuanchun back to visit the area for a few hours, and in this short few hours, most of the time was given a lot of red tape!
Such a costly visit to relatives, in addition to showing the world the royal style of honor and favor, really leaves little room for the concubine to vent her emotions!
As night fell, Ningrong Street regained its majesty and solemnity.

Finally, there was a sound of hoofbeats, and not long after, a dozen or so eunuchs came running panting and clapping their hands.The eunuchs standing on both sides will understand and become more respectful.

Seeing this, everyone in Jia's mansion knew that this time it was really coming.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a pair of Xiaohuangmen riding horses to come to West Street, dismounted, drove the horses out of the curtain, and then stood facing west.After a while, there was another couple.
After going back and forth like this for about ten pairs, suddenly the sound of drum music came faintly from the west of the street.

Everyone in Jia's mansion immediately bowed their heads and held their breath, waiting quietly.When I was young, teams of eunuchs and maids entered Ningrong Street first holding dragon banners, palace fans, etc., and then they carried gold burning furnaces, with imperial incense still burning inside, and faint blue smoke rose from them.Then came another crank seven phoenix golden umbrella
After all the ceremonies of the teams were over, a gold-topped goose-yellow embroidered phoenix Luanyu was carried over by eight eunuchs.

Headed by Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, all the people in the Jia family knelt down to welcome him.

Jia Qing was no exception, but when Luanyu passed by, he quietly raised his head and took a look.

Well, apart from seeing that the sedan chair was big enough and luxurious, I couldn't see anything else, only a vague yellow figure projected from the sedan chair.

Jia Qing originally thought they would kneel until Yuan Chun entered the mansion, but he didn't expect that just as he looked up, a eunuch rushed over to ask them to get up.

In this way, Jia Qing can look at it properly.It's just that looking from the back, he couldn't see anything, so Jia Qing had no choice but to let go of his curiosity.

Anyway, you should be able to see it soon.

When Yuan Chunluan drove into the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Qing was about to follow Jia Zheng to enter the mansion through the side door and wait, but Jia Zheng stopped, turned to look at him and said: "The old lady told you not to run around after paying your respects to your mother." , Your Majesty summoned you carefully!"

When Jia Qing heard the words, he knew that maybe his mother had known about his "skipping work" in the afternoon, so she asked Jia Zheng to pass on this "sacred metaphor" to him, and quickly agreed, "I understand".

Jia Zheng didn't say much, he caught a glimpse of Jia Baoyu behind Jia Qing who was afraid to move forward, looked at him again and said, "You too!"

Then turned around and left.

Jia Lian and others around were a little envious, and they also knew that among them, only Jia Baoyu and Jia Qing might be summoned by the imperial concubine
Jia Qing didn't know what the people around him were thinking. Seeing that Jia Baoyu was hesitant because of Jia Zheng's relationship, he stepped forward and pulled him in, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Bao is still angry with me for what happened last time. ?”

"No, no." Jia Baoyu waved his hands quickly.He said again: "Second brother, don't be angry, I really didn't say it in front of the ancestors, it was they who told the ancestors about it."

"Haha, I don't care about how big it is! I know that Brother Bao is not a person who likes to complain. I was joking with Brother Bao yesterday. Besides, between us brothers, how can we really meet for such a trivial matter?" It’s a different way of saying it, don’t you think?”

"Of course it is. By the way, is sister Lin better?"

"Thank you, Brother Bao, for your concern. My sister is much better now!"

Jia Baoyu frowned, he thought Jia Qing's words sounded weird.That's right, Jia Qing used to be called "Sister Lin", but this time she called her "My Sister"!
It seems that the second brother really regards sister Lin as his own sister.

Jia Baoyu was suddenly inexplicably happy.

Jia Qing looked at him in disbelief, not understanding why Jia Erbao would be happy when he heard such an offensive word like "stay away from my sister"!
Move forward and don't want to talk to people who are weak.

"Second brother, wait."

"What's up"

"I want to ask my second brother, how is sister Ling'er, how did you settle her down?"

Jia Qing stopped, stared at Jia Baoyu, and said to himself that you are a scumbag, you can change your mind faster than this young master!

"What's wrong?" Jia Baoyu was puzzled by Jia Qing's gaze.

"Oh, it's nothing. Sister Ling'er, I'll hand it over to Sister-in-law You. Sister-in-law will definitely take good care of her. Don't worry, Brother Bao."

To be honest, it is really troublesome for Liu Lingshu to stay in the mansion.The master is not the master, and treating her as a servant girl will damage the reputation of the Jia family. The key is to prevent her from being restless.
After much deliberation, Jia Qing still felt that it would be better to put her next to Youshi.Youshi is soft on the outside and gentle on the inside, and he is also shrewd, so he should be able to arrange it properly.

Yuan Chun didn't enter the garden until she changed clothes in Rongguo Mansion, and when she finally arrived at her residence, which was the main hall of the Grand View Garden, more than an hour had passed.

At this time, it was time for everyone in Jia's mansion to salute Yuan Chun.
