Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 206
These days, it's Jia Mu's birthday.

In the two mansions of Ning and Rong, lanterns and colorful decorations are hung, the screens are decorated with luan and phoenixes, hibiscus is placed on the mattresses, and the sound of sheng, flute and drum music flows through the thoroughfares and alleys.

The two mansions are crowded with guests every day, including royal relatives, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and an endless stream of relatives and friends.

Ningguo Mansion is dedicated to receiving male guests, while Rongguo Mansion is responsible for entertaining female family members.

Because Jia Qiong had many things to do, she only went to greet Jia Mu during the day, and only Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing came to sit there from time to time.

This day is the day when four princes and eight princes come together to congratulate.

In Jia Mu's courtyard, the room full of princesses and princesses was full of people. The hall was full of pearls and jingling rings, and it was very lively.

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Youshi and others, because they are daughters-in-law, they can only stand aside and wait when there are foreign guests.

After all, Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing were not that close, and they were the county heads, so they sat and chatted with the imperial wives.

The Jia family has shown signs of recovery recently, so the wives of the emperor did not dare to neglect it.

Since the Marquis of Jingnan took charge of the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, the relationship between the Jia family and the Nan'an Palace has been somewhat subtle.

Concubine Nan'an came to congratulate Jia Mu on her birthday this time, and made up her mind to repair the relationship between the two families so as to help Jingnan Hou successfully take charge of the capital camp.

So she flattered Jia Mu in a small way, which made Jia Mu very useful.

The simplest and most effective way to enhance the relationship between the two families is naturally to marry.

It was also because he was an in-law of the Jia family that Wang Ziteng was able to successfully take over the leadership of Jingying.

Seeing that Jia Mu was happy, Princess Nan'an asked, "Sister, why are your grandchildren missing?"

Hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "My grandchildren have all gone to school to attend classes. The little girls are afraid of life, so they are not allowed to come out."

Princess Beijing smiled when she heard this and said: "The old lady has been thinking about your granddaughters for more than a day or two.

Old lady, please stop hiding it, please come out and let us all have a look. "

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Okay, Girl Feng, go and call Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun and the second and third girls."

"Yes, my ancestor."

After a while, Wang Xifeng led several people back, and Jia Mu introduced them to everyone one by one.

The girls of the Jia family were already very outstanding, and these ministers were deliberately flattering, so naturally they were full of praise and praised the girls as fairies descended to earth.

Princess Nan'an wanted to marry the Jia family, so naturally she had known several girls from the Jia family for a long time.

Compared to the slightly dull Yingchun, Tanchun is naturally more lovable.

Princess Nan'an held Tanchun's hand and smiled and said, "As expected, he was raised by my elder sister. This child looks like he has spiritual energy. Has he ever been promised to me?"

Most of the people in the hall were understanding people. As soon as Princess Nan'an said it, everyone understood what she meant.

Everyone looked at Tanchun, and Tanchun's face instantly turned bright red.

However, she did not show a shy expression like an ordinary little daughter, and still behaved gracefully, which made Princess Nan'an even more satisfied.

Mother Jia naturally knew what Concubine Nan'an meant, and she smiled and said: "Three girls are only twelve years old. They are still young and have not yet reached the stage of marriage.

Besides, I like Tan girl very much and want to keep her for a few more years. "

Jia Mu knew what she meant. Tanchun hadn't talked about getting married yet, but she didn't plan to get her engaged now.

Concubine Nan'an nodded and smiled: "That's right, I would be reluctant to marry such a good girl early.

I am now a little grandson, who is also twelve or thirteen years old and very naughty.

Old sister, you are lucky. Look at your granddaughters, how rare they are. "The meaning of Princess Nan'an is also very clear. Her family intends to marry the Jia family, and what she likes is Tanchun.

It's not easy to have a deep conversation in front of a large audience, so just two people can stop talking.

If you want to facilitate this marriage, you will need to discuss it with the two people in charge later. It cannot be decided in a few words.

Concubine Nan'an spoke first in Tanchun, and naturally some of the other girls also inquired.

Lin Daiyu is the legitimate daughter of the Lin family. She has a distinguished status and has the most thoughts about her.

However, Jia Mu wanted to promise Daiyu to Baoyu, so she naturally refused.

Princess Zhen of Beijing fell in love with Xue Baochai. Shui Rong was young and had no heirs yet, so she had been considering marrying a concubine.

Although Xue Baochai was only the daughter of an imperial merchant, she had a rich family fortune.

What's more important is that her uncle Wang Ziteng has now been promoted to the governor of nine provinces and plays a very important role in the army.

If Shui Xiong can accept Xue Baochai as his concubine, it will be a matter of course for him to become friends with Wang Ziteng.

Mrs. Zhen then pulled Aunt Xue and asked, "Mrs. Xue, is the sister of the Xue family getting engaged?"

Although Aunt Xue approved of the marriage between Baochai and Jia Qiong, it was still a bit embarrassing to mention that Baochai wanted to be an equal wife in front of others.

She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Princess, for showing me your love. Baochai is already engaged."

Mrs. Zhen said with some regret: "I wonder which family is so lucky to marry an outstanding woman like Sister Xue."

Seeing Aunt Xue's embarrassment, Mother Jia took over the conversation and said, "You don't know that Bao Yatou is also my granddaughter-in-law. She was promised to Brother Qiong."

Princess Beijing asked: "Brother Qiong, is this Jia Sanyuan?"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's not just him. God is the matchmaker for this marriage."

Concubine Nan'an wondered: "Sister, what did you say?"

Jia Mu said: "That's what happened. Bao Yatou has a serious illness, which was brought out in her mother's womb...

Brother Qiong happens to be this person. Do you think it was God's matchmaking, or it wouldn't have been such a coincidence? "

Concubine Nan'an echoed: "Oh, this is really a blessing from God.

If it weren't for Brother Qiong, where would we find such a person? It's obvious that they are a perfect match. "

King Beijing also smiled and said: "Odd people say that Jia Sanyuan is the Wenqu star who came down to earth, look at his fate.

There are already two beauties like Sister Wang and Sister Qin in the family, and to marry a beauty like Sister Xue is such a blessing. "

Wang Yuyan smiled when she heard this and said, "What the princess said is that if it weren't for Sister Xue's illness, it would not have been our master's turn to have such a coincidence."

The wife of Zhenyuan Hou Muqing pulled Wang Yuyan and said: "Brother Qiong of your family is really great now. I don't know how many of you he has, but the emperor values ​​him.

I heard from our Marquis that the emperor went out for inspection in the city a few days ago and specified that he should be escorted. "

Zhen also said: "No, our prince said so too.

The emperor thinks so highly of her that it is not difficult for her to be crowned king or prime minister. Aunt Xue's family has found a golden son-in-law. "

"Yes, yes, sister Xue family is so lucky."

……

Aunt Xue suddenly became the target of everyone's compliments. Everyone praised her for a while, and the embarrassment in her heart quickly dissipated.
