Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 77 Qingbai and Yuanchun return to Ning

The main process of Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chun's marriage was marriage, acceptance, flattery, union, court meeting, and return to peace.

Guining refers to the fact that on the ninth day after the wedding, Yuan Qingbai took Yuan Chun to Rongguo Mansion to visit Yuanchun's parents. Rongguo Mansion held a banquet in honor of them. It was best to return to the palace before noon.

There is a similar process among the people, which is called "returning to the door".

Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chun's marriage was considered consummated only after they completed Guining.

This day is the day when Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chun return to peace.

The Rongguo Mansion, located on Ningrong Street in Xicheng, has both the main entrance and the east and west corner doors. Unless there is a major event or necessity, the main entrance will not be opened, and only the east and west corner doors will be opened.

Today, from the main entrance, Yimen, South Hall, Neisanmen, Neiyimen and Neisaimen to the main hall, Rongxi Hall, all the doors in the middle road are wide open and hung with vermilion lanterns.

Everywhere in the house, dragons dance on the tents, and colorful phoenixes fly on the curtains; gold and silver shine, and jewels compete for glory; the incense of lilies is burned in the cauldrons, and the pistils of evergreen are planted in the bottles.

Mother Jia was wearing the attire of a first-class Duke's wife, leading Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others to wait outside the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen also wore their respective official uniforms, leading Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and others, waiting at the intersection of Ningrong Street.

At this time, the first-class guard Zhao You led a group of palace guards and pro-military camp officers and soldiers, and escorted two sedans with eight carriages into the street and outside the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang quickly knelt down and were quickly helped up by several eunuchs.

Two large sedans were carried into the main gate and stopped outside the Neiyi Gate. The eunuch led Yuan Qingbai to get out of the sedan, and Baoqin and the palace maid led Yuan Chun to get out of the sedan.

Today, Yuan Qingbai, as Prince Wu, wears the python robe of the Prince and the king's hat with a hairpin. Yuan Chun also wears the crown robe of the Prince and Princess.

Both of them look luxurious, one is brave and the other is pretty, standing together, they seem to be a perfect match made in heaven.

Jia Mu, Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian have all followed.

Immediately, everyone, led by Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chun, filed into the Neiyi Gate and then entered the Rongxi Hall.

Yuan Qingbai looked up and discovered the red gold Kowloon Green Land plaque hanging in the hall.

The words "Rongxi Hall", "Given to Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan in a letter of a certain year, month and day", and "Treasure of Ten Thousand Chenhan" on the plaque were all written by the late Zhou emperor. The late emperor here was also the elder of Emperor Jing'an.

Yuan Qingbai immediately stopped and saluted to the red gold Jiulong Qingdi plaque. Yuan Chun followed suit, and Jia Mu and others also followed suit.

In the Jia family ancestral hall in Ningguo Mansion next door, there are other imperial pens written by the late emperor. The four characters "Jia family ancestral hall" were written by Yan Shenggong Kong Jizong, and there is also a long couplet written by Yan Shenggong Kong Jizong.

Ningrong and Rongfu are indeed the residences of the founder of the country.

At this time, Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chun sat side by side.

Yuan Qingbai was naturally calm.

Yuan Chun felt a little uncomfortable. She had only come to this Hall of Rongxi a few times since she was a child, and of course she had never sat down. Today, just because she married Yuan Qingbai and became the princess, Guining could sit down when she came back, and Jia Mu and Jia Mu She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are all standing there.

Yuan Qingbai looked at Jia Mu: "Old lady, please take a seat. We are part of the family. Today I am accompanying Princess Guining, so there is no need to be restrained."

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty has grown up. Not only is he more popular than Tou Li, but he is also more polite than Tou Li. Since your Majesty has spoken, I will sit down with a shameless face."

After saying that, she sat on a nanmu chair.

The main room of Rongqing Hall is not small. There are two rows of sixteen nanmu chairs on the ground floor of the hall.

Yuan Qingbai looked at Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang again: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law will be seated soon." The sound of "mother-in-law" made Mrs. Wang feel relieved, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, Jia Zheng had a serious face and said seriously: "Lemeng County is here, how can Yinsheng be able to take charge, and how can there be any reason to be greedy?"

Yuan Qingbai: "..."

Jia Zheng looked at Yuan Chun and said: "Today, the noble man went up to Xitian's grace and came down to show the virtues of his ancestors. All these are the wonders of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and the far-reaching virtues of the ancestors. It is fortunate that Zheng and his wife can be found. Princess, please do not think about Zheng and his wife." , and I pray that I will cherish it more. As long as I serve the prince with diligence, diligence and respect, I will live up to the kindness of the prince's consideration and love."

Yuanchun: "..."

Yuan Qingbai said with a smile: "You and I are now the father-in-law. Please sit down with your mother-in-law quickly. If you don't sit down, it will make me and the princess uncomfortable."

Yuan Chun couldn't help but glance at Yuan Qingbai tenderly.

Jia Zheng also declined: "Yin Shengsheng..."

Jia Mu couldn't help it anymore and interrupted: "Since the prince asked you to sit down, you will sit down as ordered."

Jia Zheng: "..."

After the old mother spoke, the filial son Jia Zheng stopped talking and sat down with Mrs. Wang.

Yuan Qingbai asked Jia She and Mrs. Xing to sit down again, followed by Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.

Yuan Qingbai looked at Jia Zhu and said with a smile: "Brother Jia, I haven't seen you again this year. I heard that you did not participate in this year's Enke Township Examination?"

Because Emperor Chengtai ascended the throne, Enke was specially opened this year, and the Shuntianfu Township Examination was held in April.

Jia Zhu stood up hurriedly and said, "To tell you what to say to the prince, because I know that I am not good at studies now, I plan to take the provincial examination and the general examination together in three or four years."

Yuan Qingbai nodded.

Jia Zhu is eighteen years old this year, which is not a young age. However, the difficulty of taking the provincial examination and the general examination is not ordinary. Even if he passed the scholar examination at the age of fourteen, he is not confident that he will pass the examination or even become a Jinshi at the age of eighteen.

In three or four years, he will only be twenty-one or twelve years old. He will take the provincial examination and the professional examination in succession. If he can pass the Jinshi examination, he will already be very good.

Yuan Qingbai looked at Jia Mu: "Brother Jia Zhu and the princess have told me something about Brother Bao in your mansion. Is this man who was born with a jade in his head here today? If he is, I would like to see him." , after all, he is already a brother-in-law."

Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were excited when they heard about Jia Baoyu, wishing that Jia Baoyu could be close to Yuan Qingbai.

Jia's mother hurriedly sent her servants to bring Jia Baoyu, who bowed to Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chun.

Jia Baoyu, who is only five years old this year, is very luxuriously dressed. He is wearing a collar, a psychic jade, a name lock, an amulet and other items.

"The face is not big, but it is very fair. The fairness of this little face is even comparable to that of Yuanchun."

Yuan Qingbai was wondering.

In his previous life, many people said that Jia Baoyu had a round face and a pie-faced face. This is because there is a sentence in the original novel, "his face is like the Mid-Autumn Moon." In fact, this sentence describes the look on his face like the Mid-Autumn Moon, followed by " His appearance is described as "the hair on the temples is like a knife cut, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, and the eyes are like autumn waves".

In the original work, it is said that Xue Baochai's "face is like a silver basin", which is also the same reason. The silver basin is the full moon.

Yuan Chun was looking at Jia Baoyu with mother-like loving eyes. She had not seen him for only nine days, and she was already missing him.

Yuan Qingbai smiled at Jia Baoyu and asked, "Where is the jade in the title? Show me."
