The banquet continued, and everyone drank and drank, and everyone returned with great excitement.
"Princess, a new batch of things has been put into the warehouse. I want you to take a look..."
Baochai originally planned to say a few more words to Zhu Jinghong, but after hearing this, he could only go ahead. leave.
Zhu Jinghong left with Ke Qing, accompanied by Nuo Min and Qi Qige. The latter three lived in the same palace.
At the scene, Zhen Qin was so angry that her teeth itched, and finally she looked at Yinglian who was about to leave.
"Sister Yinglian, did you see..."
"What did you see?"
Yinglian's words made Zhen Qin even more angry. I thought in my heart that I really couldn't carry him anymore.
"Three of them, together, abducted the prince!" Zhen Qin pulled Yinglian and said, almost grabbing her ear.
"This... is what the prince is going to do!" Yinglian replied helplessly.
"If they hadn't seduced her, how could such a thing have happened?"
"Then what do you want to do, sister?"
Zhen Qin said with high spirits: " I...I mean, we have to join forces to lure the prince to our side!"
"Oh..."
Seeing Yinglian's attitude, Zhen Qin had the desire to beat her chest, and she really didn't understand how this girl could not be in a hurry.
"You can't be so decadent, otherwise there will be no place for you in this palace in the future?"
"But...I have been appointed as a selected servant, and There is no place for even giving birth to a princess?”
My dear, Yinglian’s words really hurt Zhen Qin’s heart, and she was speechless for a while.
And Yinglian's eyes were swept not far away, and then she shouted: "Miss Zhang..."
The Miss Zhang who was called was Zhang Xiaoyue, At this time, she saw Yinglian waving to her, so she immediately left the accompanying female musicians and went.
"Greetings to the two empresses!" Zhang Xiaoyue saluted quickly.
The two people in front of them are both selection attendants, but their tempers are very different. Although Zhang Xiaoyue is facing Yinglian at the moment, his attention is on Zhen Qin.
There is no way, she is really afraid that this person will cause trouble.
"You sing very well. You must have practiced for many years, right?" Yinglian asked.
She is a very pure person. She just listens to music. If she thinks it sounds good, she will ask a few more questions, and she will have no other thoughts.
"Reporting to the Queen, I have been practicing singing since I was a child. It has been more than ten years now!" You should!"
Yinglian's approval came from the bottom of her heart. Zhang Xiaoyue felt this deeply, which made her sigh at the huge difference between the two selection attendants.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Moving to Zhang Xiaoyue to excuse herself, Yinglian smiled and said, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will listen to you sing other songs!"
Obviously she could let me sing at any time, but she said she would listen to it again when she had the chance.Really... Touched by Yinglian's warmth, Zhang Xiaoyue burst into tears for a moment.
It's not that she is emotionally unstable, but that she has traveled thousands of miles from Yanliao to Yanliao. She has rarely been cared for like this by others, and she has not even seen a few good faces.
"If your Majesty wants to hear it, just send someone to give the order!" Zhang Xiaoyue leaned forward and said.
Zhang Xiaoyue also understands the principle of finding a backer. This selection servant is kind and kind, so it is perfect to be a backer.
What's more, in the palace now, the concubine under the princess is vacant, and the one with the highest position is the chosen attendant. From a practical point of view, Yinglian is also an excellent choice.
Yinglian smiled and said: "Okay... let's spend some time and wait until you have some free time. Don't blame me for disturbing you!"
"Your Majesty, you are too polite!"
"Go ahead!" Yinglian said.
"Yes!"
After Zhang Xiaoyue left, Zhen Qin couldn't help but say: "Sister... why do you have to praise her!"
"A low-ranking person The girl used some flirty tricks and climbed into the prince's bed. This girl is very thoughtful!"
"Is this happening?" Yinglian was surprised. She thought she was a big girl.
"Look...if I hadn't warned you, I'm afraid you would have been fooled by her again!"
"Sister...in this palace, except for me, there is no one else who can do anything for you." Think about it, who cares about you?" Zhen Qin said seriously.
Although Zhen Qin wants to form a clique, she is very kind to Yinglian, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she cares deeply about her.
It’s just a pity that her rank is too low and her goals are too high.
"I'm telling you..."
Pull Yinglian away, Zhen Qin began to analyze the pros and cons again, but Yinglian was thinking about her daughter.
A few more days passed, and the snow in the capital became even heavier.
"Brother Jia, do you really want to leave?"
In a house on the south side of the capital, Feng Yuan asked this question.
This is Jia Baoyu's residence, and he is sitting opposite Feng Yuan at the moment.
"Yes!" Jia Baoyu responded.
Feng Yuan advised: "Although it is said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I think... reviewing the past and learning the new does not necessarily mean studying abroad!"
Jia Baoyu at this time , indeed much calmer than before, he calmly replied: "Brother Feng, you passed the provincial examination, but my name has fallen from Sunshan. Your road is in the capital, and my road is not here!"
In the autumn of September this year, Feng Yuan had won the election.
When I was in my early twenties, it was already a very rare achievement to pass the exam for the first time.
So in other words, Jia Baoyu is now fifteen or sixteen years old, so it is normal for him to miss.
If it is easy to win, those children who have been in poverty for decades and have not even been a scholar should really die.
Feng Yuangang was indeed very proud of his success in the first few days, but he soon regained his composure and devoted himself to intense study.middle.
Passing the provincial examination was just a big hurdle. Next spring will already be a new difficulty for him.
"Brother Jia, could it be that... he wants to give up on the right path of academic excellence?" Feng Yuan asked bluntly.
Jia Baoyu replied: "Brother Feng, you should know that I had no intention of becoming famous. The reason why I got involved was just to improve myself and win the respect of my uncle!"
"Now that my name has fallen from Sunshan, It is already three years since the re-examination, and my sister Lin is already in her prime. How can I wait another three years!"
"So, you are going to Jinling to meet Yushi Lin? ”
“My uncle is seriously ill, I should have gone to visit him”
So the study tour is an excuse, and even visiting my uncle is a pretense. The real purpose of this person is just to visit! Miss Lin... Feng Yuan understood everything.
"Brother Jia has already thought about it?"
"Thought about it!"
"Then I wish you a safe journey!" As a friend, Feng Yuan I can only send my blessings.
"Thank you!"
"When are you leaving?"
"After the new year!"
"Yes!"
p>
At this point, there was some silence between the two, and Jia Baoyu winked at Ming Yan who was waiting outside.
The latter immediately brought in a bag, placed it beside Jia Baoyu and withdrew.
"There are twenty taels of broken silver in it, and there are five silver notes...Brother Feng, keep it!"
As an outsider, Feng Yuan has no foundation in the capital. Jia Baoyu has really helped him a lot in living a good life in the past two years.
If he were in Jinling, the gentry would invest if he won the imperial examination, and the economic problems would no longer exist. It is a pity that he is currently staying in the capital.
There are many dignitaries and powerful people in the capital. Even if Feng Yuan wins at a young age, in the final analysis he is just a candidate. It is not certain whether he will win next spring, so no one has friends with him yet.
Of course, Feng Yuan is not short of money now, so he immediately stood up and refused.
"Brother Jia, you have helped me a lot, but now I am in dire straits, so it is really difficult for me to accept your wishes!"
"These are nothing, you can keep them for now..." ...Now you have nothing to worry about eating and drinking, but in the spring of high school, you will inevitably have to socialize and socialize. It is always good to have more money!"
In the past, Jia Baoyu hated socializing and socializing. This year, there were more directors in the government, so he didn't dare to slander him casually.
"Brother Jia, you have helped me enough. I really am..."
Jia Baoyu replied: "Money and silk are nothing more than things outside the body. Since you can use it, If I can lend it to you, just take it. If you ask any more, I'll let you go."
His attitude was very firm, and Feng Yuan couldn't refuse anymore, so he just said "Thank you" and accepted it! Got the package.
"Brother Feng, you are talented, knowledgeable and ambitious. I wish you a great success in the spring!"
"Thank you, Brother Jia!"
The two of them met again After chatting for a while, Feng Yuan left half an hour later, followed by Jia BaoyuThen he went inside to change his clothes, and then called the boys to go out.
Another half an hour later, he appeared on Ningrong Street, and then entered Rongguo Mansion through the corner gate.
He was expelled from the Jia family, but he could still live such a comfortable life because of the support of the Jia family. To be more precise, it was the help of Jia Zheng and his wife, and Mrs. Jia.
This time he decided to travel far away, so naturally he wanted to say goodbye to his parents, obtain their consent and get help.
He first found his mother, but Mrs. Wang refused directly. She did not want her son to travel far away. In her opinion, going out was really dangerous.
No matter how Jia Baoyu insisted, he could not defeat Mrs. Wang in the end. Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng happened to hear the conversation, and she agreed with his idea.
Jia Zheng agreed with the concept of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, and he also thought about it when he was young. However, because of family affairs and becoming an official, his ideal ended before it even started.
So it is only normal for him to support his son at this time.
In their room, Jia Zheng was the head of the family, and Mrs. Wang's opinions were suppressed.
"Let's go after the New Year. I'll explain it to the old lady, so you can go with peace of mind!"
"You should see more and learn more on the way, and you should always pay attention to it." Understand the principles in the book, and then..."
Jia Zheng put himself in his son's shoes, so he said a lot next, and Mrs. Wang could not get in the middle of the whole process.
Compared with before, Jia Zheng was much less strict, and Jia Baoyu also got to know his father again.
After waiting for a while, a boy outside reported that guests were coming, so Jia Zheng was not allowed to leave first.
After Jia Zheng left, Mrs. Wang began to speak, but she wanted to persuade her son to change his mind.
But in the end, her words were of no help. It can be seen that Jia Baoyu did grow up and become independent after leaving home.
Mrs. Wang couldn't persuade her, so she thought of taking Jia Baoyu to see the old lady and use the influence of her elders to further put pressure on her son.
At this time, Jia Baoyu also wanted to meet the sisters, so he followed Mrs. Wang An Xin.
"They have something to do during the Spring Festival today!"
When Jia Baoyu asked, Mrs. Wang extinguished his good thoughts with just this sentence.
"What can they do?" Jia Baoyu asked.
Mrs. Wang explained: "Firstly, now that you are older, it is no longer appropriate to see the sisters again. Secondly, they are going to the East Palace to welcome the Spring Festival today, and they are currently bathing and changing clothes!"
Jia Baoyu is now fifteen, and it is really inappropriate to meet her sisters in private.
Thanks to Jia She for setting up the rules in the house, otherwise Mrs. Wang would not care too much about this kind of thing given her doting on Jia Baoyu.
So Jia Baoyu could only follow her mother to see her grandmother. On the other side, in Yingchun's boudoir, she had already finished dressing up under the service of the maid.
Yingchun is already seventeen this year, and the government is busy arranging for her marriage, but there is no one among the nobles.The right person.
Jia She and his wife are not too anxious about this, and Yingchun herself is even less anxious. After all, she already has her own heart.
She is usually taciturn, but today her face is rosy, and she can even be seen smiling.
"Girl, the last two times I went to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess, I never saw you so happy!" Si Qi couldn't help but speak.
"Who said I was unhappy a few times before? Don't talk nonsense!" Yingchun hurriedly denied it.
"Go out and see if the sedan is ready, and then go quietly and see that the third sister is ready!"
In order to prevent Si Qi from seeing more of his thoughts, Yingchun spoke up Send her away.
When Si Qi left, the smile on Yingchun's face became even bigger, because she knew that the banquet held in the East Palace today was for the prince to entertain King Xiang.
I can finally see him again... Even though she hasn't seen Zhu Jinghong yet, Yingchun's heart is as sweet as honey.
In order to have a better image of herself, Yingchun looked at herself carefully in the mirror and at the same time fine-tuned her hairpins and other items.
After a while, Siqi came back and reported that everything was ready, just waiting for her to set off.
Tan Chun got on the sedan before Ying Chun, and she was already thinking about how to behave later.
The person who led them to the East Palace was Wang Xifeng. After all, she was the oldest of her generation, so it would be more formal for her to go there.
As soon as they got on the sedan chair to welcome the spring, the team from Rongguo Mansion set off and headed towards the imperial city.
Half an hour later, the Jia family's sedan arrived outside Dong'an Gate, and Wang Xifeng and the other three could only walk in.
There are already female officials from the East Palace waiting here, so passing through the palace gate is very smooth.
"Has His Royal Highness Prince Xiang arrived at the East Palace?" Wang Xifeng asked.
"I haven't entered the palace yet, but I think I should be here soon!" the female official of the East Palace replied.
"Besides us, who else is here today?"
"Princess Jing'an is here too!"
Wang Xifeng nodded and said no more asked, instead looking at Yingchun Tanchun.
"The princess is here today, don't forget to talk more, it will be of great benefit to you in the future!"
Tan Chun nodded and replied: "We understand!"
In fact, Tanchun and Yingchun had been following Zhu Yunsheng when the emperor went to Beijing for summer vacation, and they developed a friendship during that time.
Zhu Yunsheng is very easy-going, so this friendship is very healthy and does not require any flattery.
When the three of them entered the East Palace, Zhu Jinghong and his wife had also entered the palace, but their sedan chair could enter the Dong'an Gate.
"Lao Liu is really interesting. He actually sent someone to invite me to a banquet. He wants to muddy the waters!" Zhu Jinghong couldn't help complaining.
Baochai answered: "Fortunately, he said he would invite you tomorrow instead of today...otherwise he would have to embarrass you again!"
"Embarrassed? He really wanted to invite you today. Please ask me, that's because you can't find it yourselfhappy! "Zhu Jinghong said coldly.
"So are you going tomorrow? "
Zhu Jinghong then smiled and replied: "Go...why not go?" It just so happens that we are short of money, so we go to his house to fight in the autumn wind! ”
