dream of red mansion

Chapter 497

Accompanied by all the people, Yuan Chun entered the Grand View Garden from the main entrance in a Fengyu, and walked around the Qinfang River to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Grand View Garden.However, most of the scenery can be seen at a glance. Only after passing through a few exquisite and unusual places such as "Youfenglaiyi", "Xinglian is Looking at", "Hengzhiqingfen", etc. Water, stop for a while to enjoy.

Although it is already late at night, the entire Grand View Garden is brightly lit, especially the halls, pavilions, pavilions and halls, which are illuminated by red lanterns and various glass lanterns as if they were daytime, so there is no need to worry about appearing Dim conditions are not conducive to viewing.

During this period, Jia Qing, the supervisor and designer of the garden project, fully played the role of "tour guide". Based on the principle of bragging and not paying taxes, he took advantage of his cheap status as a younger brother, coupled with some Spring and Autumn techniques and post-modern The improvement of the garden vocabulary is so strong that it is the best. Not only does Jia Mu and other people who have secretly written their manuscripts lose their use, even Yuan Chun is frequently looked at by him.
It wasn't until they reached the main hall that Jia Qing stopped the flags and drums.This is Yuanchun's palace, and other people are not qualified to criticize it.

Yuanchun was grateful for the permission of the royal family to return to the province, so he inscribed the name of the main hall: "Gu Ensiyi", and wrote a couplet:

The heaven and the earth are enlightened and merciful, and the young son Cangtou empathizes with him;
From ancient to modern times, the ancient and modern classics, the Kyushu and the nations are full of grace.

In addition, the name of the given garden is: "Grand View Garden", and there is also a saying:

It takes a lot of work to build a building with mountains and rivers in its arms.

There are all kinds of scenery in the sky and on earth, and Fangyuan should be named "Grand View" by Xixi.

After these two poems were completed, Yuanchun asked Sanchun sisters, Jia Baoyu and Jia Qing brothers to sway freely according to the scenery in the garden, either a poem or a word, or a plaque and a couplet, and finally gave her to read and test her talent.

Knowing Daiyu's character, Jia Qing couldn't attend such a grand event as Yuanchun's return to the province because of his illness, so he couldn't help feeling sad.So he sent the person Yuanchun ordered to talk to her to relieve the feeling of loneliness.

He himself also made a poem praising virtues and a couplet praising the beautiful scenery at will, which is very suitable for the occasion.

Here, you don't need to be talented, just praise!

After the poems were finished, Yuan Chun asked everyone to drink some Qiongyu, etc., and then the eunuch of ceremonies came forward to ask Yuan Chun to order a play.Yuan Chun ordered four plays, namely "Luxurious Banquet", "Qi Qiao", "Fairy Fate" and "Leaving Soul".

Hearing Yuan Chun ordered these plays, Jia Qing was in a daze, always feeling that there was something in these songs that made him uncomfortable.But looking at the smiles on the faces of Jia Mu, Yuan Chun and others, Jia Qing had no choice but to smile at each other.

The performers of the repertoire are naturally the twelve little actors who have already bought into Jia's house.Although they are still young, but because of their good aptitude, and they have been practicing in Lixiangyuan for nearly half a year, their makeup and performance are full of joys and sorrows.

After watching it, Yuan Chun said, "The girl playing Xiaodan is not bad, I can make you do two more."

The eunuch hurriedly went out to pass it on again, and after a while, two more plays appeared. Yuan Chun was really happier after watching it. Not only did he bestow gold and silver hazels on his own, but he also asked Jia Mu to wait for a good student to teach him, so don't make things difficult for her. I really love the elders.

Taking advantage of this free time, Jia Qing winked at Qin Shi who was beside him, Qin Shi understood and quietly withdrew.After a while, he came in and said: "The singing and dancing are all ready, please watch your lady."

Yuan Chun was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Jia's house to prepare songs and dances, and suddenly heard Jia's mother laughing: "This is specially prepared by Brother Qing for you."

Yuan Chun took a look at Jia Qing, knowing it in his heart, and said: "Quite".

The Qin family withdrew, and led a group of "jade beauties" in after a while.

"I've seen my wife."

Yuan Chun carefully looked at the dancers in front of the imperial steps, his eyes flashed with strangeness, and praised: "Every one of them looks so good, even among the royal concubines in the palace, they are extremely rare!"

Jia Qing immediately said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to work hard and look down on my elder sister."

So confident, Yuan Chun couldn't help but laugh.

The twelve jade beauties seemed very cautious, and after paying their respects to Yuan Chun, they returned to the court.The stage is set outside the hall, one is for the opening of the performance, and the other is for the convenience of Jia Zheng and others who cannot enter the hall to watch.

As expected of their dancing skills, once the twelve beauties moved, they were like fish in the sea, without any awkwardness or unnaturalness on their bodies.Bright red and yellow alternate with each other, with fluttering clothes and belts, dancing gracefully with the surrounding music.The song "Successful Celebration of Good Dance" has just vividly expressed the indescribable prosperity, tranquility, wealth and romantic scenery at this moment.

The lead dancer, Murong Yanran, who was originally born with a natural beauty, danced lightly at the front, with eleven sisters as the backdrop, under the illumination of the surrounding brilliant lights, watching it, it is really fascinating to look at it just to win a girl's smile impulse.

Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and others under the eaves and on the corridor were already dumbfounded.

Celebrate good dancing, and make the world peaceful and happy with the harmony of culture and virtue.It was selected by Jia Qing early in the day, and Yu Meiren and others were asked to present the program on the day of family visits in Yuanchun.

After the dance for a while, Yuanchun recruited all the beauties into the palace again.When asked about names, everyone answered one by one.

Yuan Chun heard that everyone was named after jade, so he asked, "Do you have a name?"

Murong Yanran replied cheerfully: "Young Master Meng will not give up, and named him 'Jade Beauty'."

Seeing Murong Yanran take a look at Jia Qing before answering, Yuan Chun knew that this team of dancers belonged to Ningguo Mansion.

"The title of jade beauty is appropriate, but it is a bit vulgar."

Yuan Chun pondered, looked at Murong Yanran and the others for a while and thought: Although their status and mine are vastly different, their circumstances are so similar, they are people who cannot be free in the end.After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Chun smiled and said to Jia Qing: "Why don't I give them another nickname for you, how about 'Konggu Biren'?"

Jia Qing knew what Yuan Chun was thinking as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "'There is a beautiful woman who lives in a secluded valley'. The concubine sister used this as a metaphor, but it is a compliment."

A beautiful woman is beautiful, but there is no way to "cover" the empty valley.Yuan Chun gave this nickname out of pity for Murong Yanran and others.

Pity others, pity yourself.

"Thank you, Madam, for giving me the title."

Murong Yanran knelt down to thank her.The words spoken by the imperial concubine are called edicts, and they can definitely be said to be golden words.For them, it is not only an honor, but also an umbrella.Just like when they were in the south of the Yangtze River, if they were favored by a certain celebrity and left a word of praise, they would not dare to bully each other when they were young.

What kind of celebrities dare to compare with the honor of the noble concubine?
Yuan Chun stepped aside, and said again: "Second brother should cherish these bi people who are both beautiful and talented, and don't be too contemptuous."

Jia Qing didn't want Yuan Chun to be a person who "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade", so he said with a smile: "The younger brother will follow the teachings of the elder sister."

How has he ever underestimated a beauty?

When Murong Yanran and others stepped back, the eunuch said: "The gift is complete, please reward it."After Yuan Chun looked at it, he picked up a pen and sketched it, then handed it back.

The eunuch looked at it again and went down to prepare.

Yuan Chun knew that there was not much time left, so he looked around the crowd again and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't see many relatives."

Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and others were sad for a moment, Jia Qing laughed loudly and said: "If elder sister really wants to see them, it's easy to do, younger brother, just send someone out, and search in this Shenjing city, as long as we are with our family Those who have relatives or relatives, all of them will be escorted to pay respects to the eldest sister."

Yuan Chun immediately turned his sadness into a smile, and said, "Second brother is nonsense, there is no reason to search and arrest relatives late at night."

Jia Qing even said: "What big sister said is that since that's the case, big sister, you might as well look at younger brother more, the effect will be the same."

Yuan Chun smiled: "Second brother, you" didn't know how to describe it for a long time, so he could only smile.

That smile made the whole room look pale.

Yuan Chun smiled, and everyone was smiling, and then saw the eunuchs carrying the rewards into the palace.There are Ruyi, pearls, silk, silver, Qing money, imperial wine, the four treasures of the study, etc., all of which are classified according to categories, and the eunuchs distribute them to everyone one by one.

Among them, Jiamu's gift is the most important, including a gold and jade wishful handle, an agarwood crutch, a string of Kamu rosary beads, a total of eight "rich and noble Changchun" and "blessed longevity" palace satins, ten purple gold ingots, silver Ten ingots of zizi.The two wives of King Xing, Aunt Xue, Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty, and Jia Jing who was not present came next. Jia Qing, Jia Baoyu, the sisters, and Jia Lan all gave different gifts.The rest of the people, up to Youshi, Li Wan and others, down to the nannies and maids, deacons and cooks, all have rewards, so I won't repeat them one by one.

It is worth mentioning that Jia Lian received the same reward as Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Rong and others.It can be seen from this that, except for the elders, what Yuanchun bestowed was divided into ranks according to the distance of closeness.Although Jia Lian is the official "Elder Prince" of the Rongguo Mansion, he is the cousin next door after all, so he is inferior to Jia Lan.

Therefore, Jia Qing guessed that most of Yuan Chun's last changes in the rewards section were to transfer his name from the column where Jia Lian was in to the sequence where the sisters were.

The closeness and distance between people can really be changed. In life, there is competition everywhere.

The sisters were very happy after receiving the gifts. After all, the things given by the imperial concubine are not ordinary.Mother Jia and the others were also smiling, but what they valued was the "gift from the imperial concubine" rather than the reward itself.

After everyone finished thanking them, a deacon and eunuch said: "Chouzheng has arrived at three o'clock, please drive back to the palace, empress Luan."

When Yuan Chun heard this, tears fell from his eyes instantly.But pulling Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang who were also choked up, he forced a smile and said, "Now that the grace is so great today, you are allowed to go to the introspection once a month. It is very easy to meet each other. Why bother to be sad? If the grace is still returned tomorrow Don't worry, we can talk about family relationships again at that time, but, we must not be so extravagant anymore!"

Yuan Chun is not a noble person who doesn't know anything about affairs, she can see that the property wasted by Jia's family for her one night return home cannot be compensated by the rewards given by her and the emperor.

A big family is like a country, if it cuts off its money, it will inevitably fall.Although she is already an imperial concubine, she still misses her mother's family.

Jia Mu and others were full of reluctance, and had no choice but to nod in agreement when they heard the words.

Seeing Yuan Chun's face full of reluctance to part, Jia Qing sighed softly, stepped forward and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, I have me at home, and I will take good care of my ancestors and wives. After returning to the palace, elder sister should also take good care of herself, Don't worry about your family, as long as you are alone, big sister, and our family, everything will be fine.

In the future, if my sister has any difficulties in the palace, don't bear it alone. Sister Baoqin came out and told the family, you must know, sister, you are not alone, behind you, there is the entire Jia family, and so many brothers and sisters .Although the little brother can't do anything, he has a heart to love his sister. If anyone dares to make things difficult for his sister, even if the little brother tries everything at all, he will never make it easier for him! "

Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang originally heard Jia Qing's inexplicable words, and wanted to stop them. What kind of status is Yuan Chun, how can we help?But seeing the seriousness on Jia Qing's face, they had no doubts about the seriousness of Jia Qing's words.Suddenly, a sense of guilt rose in their hearts.
Yuan Chun even turned his attention to Jia Qing.Jia Qing's words, in the eyes of others, may seem childish and ridiculous, but she doesn't think so at all.No one knows what tribulations she has experienced in the palace these years. Even in the year since she flew on a branch and turned into a phoenix, how has the accompanying wind, knife, frost and sword never been less?
She can't tell anyone about this!However, from Jia Qing's eyes, she seemed to be able to see his understanding and pity?

That's right, since when, her situation in the palace has become much smoother, as if someone secretly helped her.She asked people to inquire about it, but she vaguely heard that because of Dai Quan's relationship, many people in charge of the palace took extra care of her Fengzao Palace.

She thought Jia Zheng helped manage all of this.Thinking about it now, with Jia Zheng's character and character, how could he do such a thing?Therefore, it is very possible that all of this was done by the cousin in front of me who was many years younger than him but capable.
Sometimes, the generation of being moved is such a momentary thing.Yuan Chun embraced Jia Qing and murmured, "Thank you second brother, I will take care of myself."

Naturally, Jia Qing didn't know that Yuan Chun had guessed that he was secretly making connections for her.In fact, Jia Qing knew very early on that the key point for the Jia family to become a first-class rich and noble family in the capital lies in Yuan Chun!At least, in a short period of time, Yuan Chun is easier than him to help the Jia family.Therefore, when Jia Qing first came into contact with Wang Sanjin, an eunuch with status in the palace, he did not hesitate to ask him to help him manage the relationship.

At that time, Yuan Chun was only a female historian.

But Wang Sanjin saw that it was just such a trivial matter, and he just wanted to make friends with Jia Qing. In addition, Jia Qing was generous, so he naturally helped Jia Qing with his heart.By the time Yuanchun became a concubine, Jia Qing had already taken control of the Ningguo Mansion, and had come into contact with Dai Quan, who was in charge of the palace. It just so happened that Dai Quan was an old eunuch who was greedy for money, so naturally he would not let go of the opportunity.

Jia Qing has done so many things for more than one reason, but the most important thing is that he deeply knows that the rise and fall of Jia's mansion and Yuanchun's honor and disgrace are complementary to each other.Yuan Chun has a firm foothold in the palace, and the Jia family's big ship will never capsize!

"Oh, little brother, I have finally waited until this moment. Sister Guifei, you don't know. I just saw you so kindly pulling second brother Bao and leaving little brother aside. My heart is sore!"

"Giggle." Yuan Chun's smile was really pretty.

"Then you are balanced now."

"Well, I feel much better."

Yuan Chun found that in front of Jia Qing, she seemed to have really returned to being the eldest lady of the Jia family, no longer a noble concubine that people dare not get close to. This feeling was really good, so good that she didn't want to leave here at all.However, how can she violate the royal rules?So, even though she couldn't bear it anymore, she finally looked around at the crowd, turned around and went to bed with tears in her eyes.

After Jia Qing died, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying anymore.Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and others hurried forward to comfort them.

Seeing that Jia Qing was still staring blankly at the direction Yuan Chun left, Tanchun thought that Jia Qing still couldn't let go, so he wanted to go forward to comfort him.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped forward, Jia Qing groaned in a low voice:
"Luxury is beautiful, but parting hurts. Who knows the bitterness and sweetness of gaining a false name?"

"Third sister, what are you doing here?" Jia Qing turned around and asked Tanchun just in time.

"Who knows bitterness, is the second brother talking about your mother?"

Jia Qing didn't answer, but instead said: "Let's go, let's help our ancestors go back."
