12.10 Family Gathering and Prelude to Visiting Parents

No matter whether the day is happy or sad, time will not stop because of it. Yongzheng's 17 years have passed in this series of bad and happy days. Everyone is one year older, cough cough
In addition, "the new year's festival is easy to pass, and it will pass in a blink of an eye". In the blink of an eye, it is already the fifteenth day of the first month of the 18th year of Yongzheng.

Theoretically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with most of the Wei family, but they are all in the world of "Red Mansion". If you don't look at this scene, you always feel that something is missing. Now that you have caught up, then follow along. Soy sauce is ready.

Moreover, it's not completely unrelated, there are still a few relatives of Jia's mansion in the backyard, and the old lady of Jia's mansion, who was very drifting again, confidently posted posts to Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai and even Xue Baoqin, inviting them to come and watch the ceremony .

After all, her mind was not completely filled with sewage, and she knew that Qin Keqing could not invite casually, so she specially sent Mrs. Wang, who is currently the highest status in the Rongguo Mansion besides her, to inquire in person, and Mrs. Pingyuanhou agreed.

By the way, the fundamental reason why Mrs. Wang is able to go out now is that her eldest daughter has become a noble concubine, so as a mother, she cannot be confined anyway, so she was released by Jia Mu.

And she is no longer white, as the saying goes, "Mother is more valuable than a daughter". Of course, Jia Zheng is working as an empty barrel student in the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, Mrs. Wang still failed to be awarded according to her husband's rank, and only got five. Pleasant taste.

This is also the basis for her identity to visit Qin Keqing at Wei's house. Otherwise, a marquise, not a cat or a dog who has no orders, can ask to see him casually, no matter how high-minded she is, it will be useless.

Except for Zhen Yinglian, who cannot be supported by the mud, everyone in the Wei family has been indoctrinated with the original "Red Mansion", so they understand the current situation very well, and they are very interested in relaxing after a busy year. It is rare for the family to gather together.

Early in the morning, in the backyard of Pingyuan Hou Mansion, before eight o'clock in the morning, the family had just finished breakfast.

"Brother Xu, shall we go there now?" Shi Xiangyun's voice was obviously a little excited, "I told Sister Yuanchun two days ago that I will pick her up when she leaves the palace. lend me."

"You are the commander of the soldiers, so you can do whatever you want." For Yuan Chun, one of the twelve gold hairpins, Wei Xu is still willing to take care of him, "But you can only take half of the female guards. Others have to go to Rongguo Mansion, they are indispensable."

"Husband, with the strength of the family members, why do you care about the personal guards? Without them, everyone is more free. In fact, it would make people uncomfortable to go in and out with so many people serving them." Qin Keqing said softly.

"So, I even bought another yard for my personal guards, and they usually take turns to train in military camps outside the city. Except for occasional occasions when I need guards of honor or occasions, I never let them show up.

However, female guards are still very necessary, not expecting them to protect, but many things would be inconvenient without personal greetings, after all, these days, the female family members in the inner courtyard are not very friendly. "Wei Xu explained with a smile.

"So, Brother Xu expanded the number of female guards to one hundred households?" Lin Daiyu asked with a smile, "In this case, five small flags are enough to welcome Sister Yuanchun."

"Yun'er, have you arranged the time?" Lin Daiyu asked kindly, "There won't be such bad things as arriving home at night and returning to the palace in the middle of the night, right?"

"Don't worry, Elder Sister Qingyan has promised to leave from the palace gate today at Sishi ([-]:[-] am). Even if the guards of honor don't get up soon, the family will have a reunion dinner at noon." Shi Xiangyun said confidently.

"That's good, none of us are interested in waiting until midnight to play some 'nightlife'." Compared with the excitement of the "indigenous people" in the world of "Red Mansion", girls in other worlds are more interested in watching the excitement, and Dongfang Bai is even more excited. He simply expressed his thoughts.

"Who dares to play tricks with this girl?" Shi Xiangyun said disdainfully, "I will take someone to pick them up, if they still can't pick them up, some people don't need to live on, let alone get Sister Qingyan's endorsement. "

"That's good. It's still a little early. When you take people away, we will go to Jia's mansion around the time when Yuanchun departs from the palace gate. Don't make us wait too long." Wei Xu nodded in understanding.

As for the question of Shi Xiangyun opening his mouth as "Sister Qingyan", the Wei family let it go calmly. Even the girls from Jinling and Wuchang didn't bother to ask. After all, Wei Xu would go to the palace at night from time to time. It's an insult to intelligence.

"Husband, do you need to bring a guard of honor?" Qin Keqing asked with a smile.

"Sister Ke'er, you want to cause trouble, don't you?" Shi Xiangyun, who was usually the most cheerful and loved to watch the excitement, threw himself into her arms and was furious. Qin Keqing was so angry that he couldn't help but throw her into Wei Xu's arms. "Okay, stop making trouble." Wei Xu glared at Qin Keqing angrily. If she really opened up the Marquise's guard of honor, Jia Yuanchun and all his concubines would have to get out of the car to say hello, and then both parties would enter Jia's mansion together. At most, Jia Yuanchun will go first!
This is obviously overwhelming!
In the feudal era, the status of a woman depends entirely on the man in the family. Wei Xu is now recognized as the number one Marquis of the Dashun Dynasty, the so-called "Four Kings and Eight Dukes". ".

Simply discussing status, in fact, can't be calculated based on titles. The status of military leaders basically depends on the strength in their hands. Otherwise, the previous Jia family would not have always been recognized as the first family of martial arts.

Now Wei Xu holds [-] elite Jiangnan Army, and the core territory of Jiangnan Province is recognized as the most affluent place in the world. The four kings who are basically on the border can't keep up, so they can only recognize their status.

Even if Jia Yuanchun has the status of a noble concubine, she is still the emperor's concubine in the final analysis. Counting her own royal golden body protection, she is not arrogant in front of the Wei family, and what is the relationship between Shi Xiangyun and the queen, no one except the Wei family themselves Know better than her!
"Okay, Sister Yun, let's set off quickly, you will be punished if you miss the time!" Qin Keqing rarely revealed a wicked side, but he was dissatisfied with being "thrown" in Jinling by Wei Xu.

"Qin Keqing, I think you're looking for excitement." Wei Xu got up straight away, picked her up and went straight to the inner room, and pulled away Baozhu and Zhen Yinglian who had been standing behind her.

"Why, don't the two younger sisters come and join in the fun?" Saeko Busujima joked with the sisters of the Xue family who were also "assigned" in Jinling, "otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat."

"I have to leave soon, the time is too short." The living room is full of my sisters, and Xue Baochai is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is also easy to drive wildly.

Dongfang Bai and Shang Xiuxun were both career-oriented, boredly watching the farce in front of them, and couldn't help but "cut" after looking at each other, which caused all the sisters to laugh.

Not to mention the family comedy of the Wei family, Shi Xiangyun took five small banner female guards and went straight to the palace in full armor, leaving "broken glasses" everywhere along the way. It is no secret that the Wei family has female guards, but like This is the first time that such a large-scale public appearance has been made.

"Girl, something is wrong!" After a group of people arrived at the gate of the palace and dismounted according to the procedure, Mingyue, who followed Shi Xiangyun to hand over, immediately discovered the problem, "It is less than two quarters of an hour before departure, but look here .”

"Every family has started to prepare, but there is no trace of sister Yuanchun." Shi Xiangyun immediately realized that someone was playing tricks. "It seems that some people are really impatient. Go up and ask."

Jia Yuanchun must not be the only one who was approved to go home to visit relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, there are specially arranged staff on duty at the gate of the palace. One of them should be the eunuch in charge. He is standing there impatiently. It's cold.

"Father-in-law, when will the car of the Xiande concubine of Jia's mansion leave?" Mingyue stepped forward and asked patiently. Although she is a maid in Shi Xiangyun's place now, she also bears the title of a hundred households and is in charge of a female guard of the general banner.

"It's early!" The eunuch said impatiently, looked up and found that something was wrong, and then explained carefully, "We have eaten dinner at Weishi Chuji. I am afraid that we will not be able to leave until after Xushi (seven o'clock in the evening)."

"It's interesting." Shi Xiangyun sneered, took off his veil and stepped forward, showing the gold medal of the Phoenix seal given by the queen, and asked, "Which palace are you from? What kind of life-and-death arrangement is it for the time you just mentioned?"

"I've seen Miss Smith!" The eunuch's expression changed suddenly, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop". Now in this palace, only Lenggong is the only one who doesn't know Shi Xiangyun. Manager Xia's meaning."

"Go away, go tell Concubine Xiande to drive the car, let's go now!" Shi Xiangyun didn't bother to confront a eunuch, "Or do you want me to go to the palace to notify? You have to think clearly!"

"Girl, the Supreme Emperor is already in a coma and unconscious. I never thought that Xia Shouzhong would have the guts to do something." Mingyue looked at the back of the eunuch who was running away, and said angrily, "We have information about his residence, do we need to take action to solve him? "

"The little eunuch said yes, so he must be? What's more, this should be the last time I saw him." Today, Shi Xiangyun is just cheerful, not really reckless, "Don't worry, wait until this matter is over, and then take care Cha Tan is, no matter who dares to embarrass the Wei family, they will not go through like this."

"Miss, do you mean that there are other people making trouble?" Mingyue asked puzzledly, "The empress must have sent someone to arrange such a big event, and it must have been announced at various time points. How could it be possible in the palace? Can someone be so short-sighted?"

"What happens in the palace doesn't mean it's caused by the people in the palace." Shi Xiangyun smiled coldly, looking at Jia Yuanchun driving over, "What's more, I said earlier that I would pick up people in person. The bottom line of people is much lower than their slogans."
