Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Fang Congqian said: "If you are really loyal and obedient, you should give up the idea of ​​injustice, and you will be a vassal on the list."

　　However, Huang Ying'an agreed with Jiang Ying's statement: "Your Highness, please carefully consider your actions after the new year. At present, the Emperor has taken precautions against His Highness. If you give the Emperor the impression of forming a party for selfishness and fighting against differences, it will be more than worth the loss for His Highness! "

　　The prince sneered: "My father is just trying to balance. Let me fight with Brother Zhongshun. It's better for him to sit back and relax. But I'm tired of his tricks. I've been doing it for twenty years. The prince and prince, I have done enough..."

　　"Please be careful, Your Highness!" Jiang Ying hurriedly stopped: "Be careful that the partition wall has ears!"

　　The prince said displeased: "The inside and outside of the palace are all my own people, what should I be careful about?"

　　Fang Congqian also persuaded: "His Royal Highness lives in the abyss. Once the dragon flies for nine days, he will definitely rule the world. At that time, we would like to attach the jiwei, and it will last forever."

　　The prince smiled lightly, raised the wine glass, and prayed, "May the father and emperor live forever!"

　　These confidants looked at each other and smiled, all raised their wine glasses, "Congratulations to the emperor for a long life and boundless life!"

　　After changing the cup, the prince suddenly asked, "What is Jia Zhen doing now?"

　　Li Wei, the former Bingke, replied quickly: "Jia Zhen went to the Ministry of Rites Guan to receive the spring sacrifices this morning. After talking with Jia Yucun for a while on the way, she went back to the house."

　　"Have you really returned to the palace?" The prince smiled and said, "Maybe he is just like you, brother Li, who raised big and small outside!"

　　Fang Huangjiang and the three of them laughed together.A few years ago, a censor impeached Li Wei for his misconduct and the loss of the court's dignity. The Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office has already verified that he ignored human relations and took care of Xue Wang's mother and daughter outside. At this moment, he has cut his membership and even been exiled for three thousand miles.

　　Although Li Wei kept the black gauze on his head, his reputation was ruined.Fortunately, the prince remembered his hard work in the past, and randomly arranged a guard deacon in the East Palace.Seeing that they were all promoted, but he was the only one who suffered this bad luck, and his heart was extremely uneasy.His resentful suspicion may be that the surnamed Fang deliberately omitted the chapter that impeached him, otherwise, how could it be known to everyone?

　　He was humble on the face, but sneered in his heart, "It's not certain who has the last laugh!"

　　"Going back to your Highness, Jia Zhen is extremely cautious. The humble post has been following him. When he saw him return to Ningguo Mansion with his own eyes, he did not come out of the gate again."

　　Huang Ying'an smiled and said, "Jia Zhen took leave at the beginning of the month and has always only stayed in the mansion. Maybe he went to the ancestral hall or Rongguo Mansion, every day. It's nothing strange."

　　Fang Congqian sneered: "This person is not very far away, he only guards his one-acre and three-point land, His Royal Highness can rest assured."

　　The prince nodded on the high platform, "In the past, the crown prince invited a nun with a hair to teach the scriptures. This Jia Zhen only met once in my East Palace last time. But I learned that the nun had been bought back by Jia Zhen for three thousand taels of silver, and she also claimed to be the abbot of the family temple."

　　Fang Congqian laughed loudly: "I want to cover it up!"

　　Huang Ying'an also smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the nun only came to the East Palace of His Highness, and she was worth a hundred times! That Jia Houye's hobby is really different!"

　　Fang Congqian glanced at Li Wei, "Be on par with Brother Li Wei!"

　　The prince and others all laughed in unison.

　　Li Wei had no choice but to drink the remnants of the glass with his neck up, to hide his embarrassment and anger.

　　East Palace Jingyuan.Dressed in a palace attire, the Crown Princess asked the little eunuch beside her, "Is His Royal Highness still receiving guests?"

　　The little eunuch replied: "At the moment, only Master Fang, Master Huang and Master Jiang are with you."

　　The Crown Princess looked resentful, "I'm afraid that Qi Guan is also there?"

　　The little eunuch shook his head, "I didn't see Qi Guan when I returned to the mother. I heard that she was returning to her hometown on leave."

　　The Crown Princess's eyes flashed with joy, and she was about to set out in the front hall.

　　But as soon as I walked to the gate of the palace, I heard that the prince ordered people to pass the opera.The Crown Princess had to sigh softly, "Let's go back!"

　　Gong E beside her persuaded: "Niangniang, my servant heard the will of the Supreme Emperor, the empress in the palace can go home to save relatives after the new year, why don't you go home to relax!"

　　The princess spat: "Do you think anyone can save relatives?"

　　Another Gong E said: "Don't you mean that as long as Chongyu Bieyuan's house can be stationed in the defense area? Many people outside are repairing gardens and villas, just for this!"

　　The Crown Princess smiled and said, "What do you know? My father is a family heirloom of poetry and books, but he has no money to buy this fake fun."

　　Gong E puzzled: "How can it be so lively?"

　　The Crown Princess smiled but didn't answer. After a while, she said, "If my father wants to build a provincial villa, I will ask my father to donate the money for the garden to the court. In this way, I have a good impression in the emperor's heart. Isn't it more meaningful than saving one's relatives a hundred times?"

　　The royal family is mean and unkind, the better the garden is repaired, the more it will be missed.Look at it, I can't understand this, and when I go home to save my relatives, I will inevitably be reckoned with after the fall.

　　Haven't you heard the good name of today's sage?

　　……

　　Zhongshun Wangfu, Wangye was furious, "Where's Qiguan? Find me!"

　　Hiss, a certain magnificent... man!

Chapter [-]: Concubine Yuan saves relatives

　　　　On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, all kinds of years are already ready.The next day, Jia Zhen, You Shi and Keqing had official titles, and they all wore court clothes according to their grades. They first sat in a sedan chair for eight people and entered the palace with everyone from the Rong Mansion to greet them.The disciples who did not join the dynasty were all lined up in front of the gate to wait on them, and then they were introduced to the ancestral halls of other courtyards.After the sacrifice was over, You Shi Keqing came to the Rong Mansion.When I got to the old lady's main room and bowed, You said with a smile, "Old lady, please give me some honor and come to sit with us." The old lady said, "I have taken your heart, but the mansion has prepared the empress to save her relatives. It’s inconvenient to go to your place to disturb you all day and night. You just ask Xichun to go back, and if the sisters are willing, let’s go and have a fun together!”

　　Xichun took Daiyu's hand, "Let's go?"

　　Daiyu said with a smile, "Go home with your sister-in-law. I'll ask my brother for a New Year's gift tomorrow."

　　So You and the others turned back to Ning Mansion.

　　Jia Zhencai took care of the affairs of the house outside Wicker Lane, and arranged for Aunt Xue to go back to reunite with Baochai.

　　When they arrived at the Ning'an Hall, You Shi Xichun led the daughters in.Jia Zhen looked at the room of Yingying and Yanyan, and a sense of pride surged in her dantian. She smiled and said, "This year's hard work, I would like to thank you first." After speaking, she bowed to the end.Youshi can't bear it.Sister Qingwen pulled Jia Zhen from left to right, pressed him on the seat, and bowed together.There are chairs on the left and right sides, and then they go back to receive the salute in order of elder and younger.The men, women, servants and maids of the house also went up, down, and down according to the errands.They went back to their seats, and offered Tusu wine, acacia soup, auspicious fruits, and wishful cakes, and the crowd dispersed.

　　Jia Zhen taught each to take some and sent them to Zhaocui An.A little girl at the door saw Jia Zhen and hurried in, "Girl, the master is here."

　　Inside, I heard Miaoyu spit: "How many times have I said it, don't be a girl and a girl."

　　Jia Zhen went in and said with a smile, "You can call me grandma instead of a girl!"

　　Miaoyu immediately changed her face, and said angrily, "If you take me lightly again, I will move back to the Muni Academy!"

　　Jia Zhen hurriedly took her hand and apologized.

　　Not to mention how Jia Zhen coaxed Miaoyu to be happy, that night, incense offerings were burned in front of the stove king in various Buddhist halls, and there was a heaven and earth paper horse incense offering in the courtyard of You's main house, and there was also a Daming horn lamp on the main entrance of Huifang Garden. Bright lights, street lights everywhere.The people from the upper and lower levels, all dressed in colorful flowers, were noisy all night, laughing and laughing, and firecrackers caught fire in an endless stream.The next day at Wugu, Jia Zhen and others went to the palace to congratulate them again. All the relatives and friends who came back to celebrate the festival would not know, but only talked to sisters such as Daiyu, Baochai, Sanchun, etc. , Qingwen, Xiangling and other aunts rush to play Go and play cards.You and Keqing were busy inviting people to eat New Year's wine every day. There was a lot of entertainment in the hall and courtyard, and there was an endless stream of relatives and friends. It took seven or eight days to finish.

　　On the eighth day of the first lunar month, for the sake of saving relatives, the eunuch came out to explore the place and made arrangements in advance.There are also inspections of the local prime minister to guard the eunuchs, etc., and bring many small eunuchs out, arrange for the guards to block the enclosures everywhere, instruct all kinds of etiquette, and must not ignore the disorder.Outside, there were officials from the Ministry of Industry and the five city soldiers to clean the streets and drive away the idlers.Jia She and other governors led craftsmen to make lanterns and fireworks, and on the [-]th, they all stopped.

　　Up to the fifteenth day and five drums, all those with rank, such as Jia Mu and others, all dressed up according to the taste.All over the park, gold and silver are in full bloom, jewels are in competition, dragons and phoenixes dance, and there is silence.Jia She was waiting outside the gate of West Street, and Mother Jia was waiting outside the gate of Rong Mansion.

　　Seeing that Jia Zhen was not yet here, Jia She asked Jia Lian, "Why didn't you know about Brother Zhen?"

　　Jia Lian replied, "Last night, my son told Big Brother Zhen in person, and Big Brother Zhen said everything was ready. I wonder why it's so late today?"

　　Jia Zheng frowned and said on the side: "Let your daughter-in-law go to him and urge him, you go to the front guard!"

　　Jia Lian asked Zhaoer to send a message to Sister Feng, and went to the front to greet her.

　　Sister Feng rushed to Ning Mansion and saw Jin Chuan'er outside Youshi's room.Jin Chuan'er smiled and said, "The second grandma is here to find our wife? Please come in."

　　Sister Feng said in surprise: "You don't want the money I gave you. When you asked Yu Chuan'er, you only said that you went to work outside, but you came here if you didn't want to? It's all your good fortune."

　　Jin Chuan'er hit the curtain and let him in, "Who said no!"

　　Inside, Jia Zhen was talking to You, and when she saw Sister Feng coming, she smiled and said: "Is the eldest sister here to urge you? You don't need to worry, the news from the palace is that the empress has not eaten dinner for the first time, and she is not the second. I still went to Baoling Palace to worship Buddha, and You Chu entered Daming Palace for a banquet to see the lantern and the decree. I was afraid that Xu Chu would only get up. It's not too much trouble for you to set up the deacon and wait so early. I'm also worried that your sister-in-law and the others are tired !"

　　Sister Feng spat: "Since eldest brother has news, why didn't you tell us, aren't you afraid that I am tired?" As soon as the words were said, they felt inappropriate, but fortunately You didn't pay attention.

　　Sister Feng looked at Jia Zhen amorously, and made a gesture with her fingers crossed.

　　Jia Zhen ignored it, "Then you can just rest here with me, and I'll serve you personally, how about that?"

　　When Sister Feng heard the word "in person", her face flushed, "I'm afraid I won't have the good fortune! If the elder sister-in-law gets annoyed, won't it hurt me? Hmph, I won't be fooled by you!"

　　You Shi smiled and said, "What am I annoyed about? You guys are making trouble with you, but don't get involved with me!" On the side, she asked someone to take out Feng Guanxia.

　　Sister Feng looked at the Xia Pei in You Shi's hands with admiration, and couldn't help but sighed: "Sister-in-law, yours is the same as the old lady's! If one day I can also wear this, I will be happy when I die. "

　　You Shi joked: "You just ask Brother Lian to seal it for you."

　　Sister Feng said faintly: "Relying on him, I have no hope in my life, look at my son!" As she spoke, her eyes kept drifting towards Jia Zhen.

　　Jia Zhen coughed lightly, "When Brother Lian takes over, you also have a third-rank Zhai Guanxia, ​​so why envy others?"

　　Sister Feng said: "That's only the same as Keqing. Forget it, it's just my bad life, the wrong child, and the wrong person. Who's to blame?"

　　You Shi pointed at her and smiled: "If your life is not good, then women in the world will be half ashamed!"

　　Sister Feng put her right hand on her left hand, stretched out her index finger and tapped on the palm of her hand.

　　Jia Zhen smiled and nodded, "Big sister, you must know that excessive self-esteem is excessive pride."

　　Sister Feng was in high spirits for a while, and said in a coquettish manner, "Big brother, where am I so proud..."

　　You Shi didn't care about them, they looked at each other and thought that no one knew.

　　At this time, Ping'er also came in to urge, "Uncle Jane, Grandma Jane, Second Grandma, the old lady told you to go out and wait, so don't delay!"

　　Sister Feng said with a smile: "Big brother has the news from the palace, the empress won't get up until the afternoon!"

　　You held Sister Feng's hand, "Ping'er, go back and tell the old lady that Feng girl was detained here by me, and she can't go back until she has eaten."

　　Ping'er went back and told the old lady.The old lady was waiting impatiently, when suddenly a eunuch came on horseback and hurriedly came in and asked him for news, just as Jia Zhen said.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said, "Since this is the case, the old lady, please go back to the room and rest. When the time comes, it will not be too late to come again."

　　At the end of Youshi, Jia Zhen and others were all dressed up.At the beginning of Xu, Jia Zhenfang led Zhongyan out of the Ning Mansion.You Shi Keqing waited to meet Jia Mu outside the gate of Rong Mansion.

　　Jia Zhen, wearing a mang robe and a jade belt, a gold medal with a fish talisman, Jiao Dabing, Timur Wang Jian, Wuhuai, and dozens of others, all wearing school captain uniforms, played the honor guard of the Marquis of Ningyang, and crowded to the door of West Street.

　　Seeing that Jia Zhen was so publicized, Jia She deliberately reprimanded her, but seeing how majestic the military academies are, she actually held back her dissatisfaction and only snorted coldly.

　　Jia Zheng asked Jia Zhen to stand beside him and praised, "Brother Zhen can show the power of my Jia family today!"

　　Jia Zhen was half a step behind Jia Zheng, and smiled: "My lord, save your relatives, you mustn't let those snobbish eyes look down on it! In addition to the guards of Jin Wu Army, there are also sentries in my camp to report news at all the intersections in the front streets. The Luan Jia has passed the Yongfang of Dashi, and will come to us soon."

　　Suddenly I heard the sound of horses running outside, and a dozen or so eunuchs all came panting and clapping their hands.A pair of eunuchs in red came slowly on horseback, got off their horses at the West Street Gate, drove the horses out of the enclosure, and stood with their hands facing the west.After a while another couple, too.Not long after, a dozen couples came, and Fang heard the faint sound of music.A pair of dragons, phoenixes and phoenixes, pheasant feathers and scorpions, and a gold burning stove burning royal incense, and then a cranked seven-phoenix golden umbrella came over, which was a crown robe and shoes.There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargles, whisks and so on.After the line was over, behind them were eight eunuchs carrying a golden-topped golden embroidered phoenix version, walking slowly.Mother Jia and others hurriedly knelt by the roadside.Zaofei ran over a few eunuchs and helped Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang to come.That version of Yu was carried into the gate, entered the gate of ceremonies and headed east, and in front of a courtyard gate, there was a eunuch Zhifu on his knees and asked Xiayu to change.Therefore, the eunuchs and others dispersed, and only Zhaorong, Caibi and others led Yuanchun down the court.I saw all kinds of lanterns in the courtyard, all tied with gauze, very delicate.

　　Jia Zhen and Jia She, Jia Zheng and others stayed outside, and eunuchs successively issued decrees to change "Liaoting Huaxu" to "Huaxu", and changed the four characters of the stone archway to the heavenly fairyland and replaced it with a villa for relatives. Politics are busy changing.

　　When Concubine Jia entered the palace, the ceremonial eunuch knelt down and asked to be ascended to the throne, and the two majesty rejoiced.The two ceremonial eunuchs invited Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen to work off the platform.

　　Jia Zhen went out of the palace, and because she saw Aunt Xue holding Baochai with one hand and Daiyu with the other, she did not go with Jia She and others, but only with them.

　　Jia Zhen stood by Daiyu's side and said with concern, "It's such a cold day, the wind hurts my face, why don't you wear more clothes? Be careful that you will feel dizzy and uncomfortable at night."

　　Aunt Xue frowned, pretending not to hear.Baochai pursed his lips and smiled, "Frowning, what did you say? You are lonely and no one cares? What about the big brother? I just didn't hold you in my arms, for fear of being blown away by the wind!"

　　Daiyu spat: "If you don't see the empress, what's the matter with us?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Let them go, I'll stand for a while and talk to my aunt, that's fine."

　　Baochai smiled and said, "Brother Zhen only cares about his sister, and doesn't even care about others."

　　Jia Zhen looked at Aunt Xue, "Sister Xue is protected by my aunt, so I can rest assured. If my aunt is not there, she will be no different from my sister."

　　Aunt Xue pulled Baochai tightly, "Boy girl is talking nonsense. They are serious brothers and sisters, so it's normal to take care of them."

　　Daiyu cast a glance at Jia Zhen, and hurriedly looked to the other side, "What's your mother like?" She also stood on tiptoe and looked into the hall.
