The courtyard was a little desolate in winter, and Yuanchun sat in front of the window, letting the chill get rid of the sense of chaos after getting up early.
The people serving in the garden were all chambermaids brought from the palace, but the breakfast was delivered directly from the kitchen of Rongxi Hall. It consisted of light side dishes, rice porridge and steamed buns. It was simple but very suitable to her taste. .
Baoqin handed over the hand stove, frowned and said, "My Majesty, I don't care about the body of the phoenix too much. If I catch a cold, I won't be able to explain it to Your Majesty and our ancestors."
Yuanchun held the hand stove in his arms and stretched lazily, his pregnant belly becoming more and more obvious.
She touched her belly and smiled at Baoqin and said, "I'm not that delicate. Whenever it snowed when I was a child, others would hide in the house and wouldn't come out. I was the only one who always ran behind my grandfather. In a flash. More than ten years have passed, and I don’t know when it will snow this year..."
"Do you want to enjoy the snow and write poems? Yesterday, I heard from Mr. Bao that last year, Miss Lin and the others held a poetry meeting when it snowed. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this."
Baoqin put a cloak made of red fox fur on Yuanchun's shoulders. The bright red cloak, coupled with Yuanchun's rosy and charming face, made the palace even more elegant.
Yuanchun pulled the cloak towards his abdomen and covered it more tightly.
She suddenly raised her head and asked, "Have you visited your parents and brother?"
"Ah? The third master said that your parents and brother will come from the village today, and I will leave the garden in the afternoon."
When he talked about his parents and brothers, a hint of complexity flashed in Baoqin's eyes. After entering the palace, she had not even received a letter from her family for several years. She only occasionally mentioned her relatives when people from the Rongguo Mansion came to the palace to see her.
Her family was born into the Jia family, and Baoqin had been with Yuan Chun since she was a child. When she entered the palace, Yuanchun had asked her if she wanted to change someone. At that time, Baoqin didn't want to enter the palace until she returned home. Later, her father said something to her...
If Baoqin enters the palace, the Jia family will give Baoqin's family two hundred taels of silver. Two hundred taels, enough to buy the life of Baoqin's brother, marry him, and have children.
Of course Yuanchun knew the situation at Baoqin's family, and she was both distressed and grateful.
If Baoqin hadn't followed her after entering the palace, maybe she wouldn't have been able to endure the misery of those few years.
"Give your parents more money to give birth to you. In two years, when everything is stable, I will find a good marriage for you."
Baoqin bit her lip, shook her head firmly and said, "I don't want to get married. I just want to follow my queen and serve my queen and the young prince in the future."
Yuanchun is angry and funny. If she doesn't get married, will she have to be an old girl for the rest of her life?
Just as he was about to say a few more words, he saw Gong E walking over with Jia Cong, followed by two jumping little pink dumplings.
The rising sun stretched the shadows of several people very long, and the two little girls were wrapped tightly, chasing Jia Cong's shadow and stepping on them, giggling from time to time.
Through the open window, Jia Cong had already seen Yuanchun's figure from a distance. He waved to Yuanchun: "Good morning, big sister!"
Little Xichun also imitated Jia Cong's example, jumping up and down and waving to Yuanchun: "Good morning, big sister!"
Yuan Chun was about to respond, but saw that the little princess Liu Chun was following the same example, waving to her and shouting: "Good morning, big sister!"
Well……
This child was brought up astray after only three or two days. Your father might become angry if he knew you called me that!
Baoqin welcomed the three of them into the palace and presented the two little girls with exquisite and delicious snacks and warm fruit wine.
Yuan Chun couldn't help but laugh and cry as he heard the loud and clear calls in his ears. He corrected her several times, but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to let Xiao Chun'er follow Xichun.
"Brother Cong..."
Yuanchun asked Baoqin to play with the two girls, and she turned her attention to Jia Cong, who was eating snacks.
"I called you here because I want to ask your opinion on something..."
"ah?"
Jia Cong was a little confused. Even though he seemed to be involved in everything at home, it was actually a few elders who made the decisions. Why should he ask his opinion on anything?
Yuan Chun glanced at the two people playing on the floor in the back hall.
The little girl lowered her voice: "What do you think of Baoyu and Yun Yatou?"
Brother Bao and Sister Yun? How about what?
Jia Cong didn't react for a moment. His eyes suddenly widened and he forgot to bite the snack in his hand.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Tons, tons, tons!
He took a gulp of tea, swallowed it with difficulty, and asked in shock: "Sister, are you saying that you want Brother Bao to marry Sister Yun?"
"I have this idea, but I'm worried that my grandmother won't be happy with it."
When Yuanchun returned home to visit his relatives this time, one thing he had been thinking about for a long time was to settle Baoyu's future.
She had considered it in the clan before, but after thinking about it for a long time she gave up the idea.
After returning to the province this time and meeting Xiangyun and Baochai, she basically focused on these two people.
"Originally, I was more inclined towards Bao Yatou, but her personality is not suitable for Baoyu. On the contrary, Yun Yatou, who is refreshing, lively and playful, is more suitable for Baoyu."
Playful?
Well, Sister Yun is indeed playful, if you want to put it that way, well...
It is indeed quite suitable for the playful second brother Bao.
He held his chin and thought carefully for a while, then scratched his head: "If you talk about Sister Yun, the old lady probably won't say she disagrees. Of course, she won't say how satisfied she is. In fact, the old lady loves Sister Yun very much. only……"
"It must be a matter of family background."
Yuan Chun added the second half of Jia Cong's sentence. The two siblings looked at each other and smiled bitterly in unison.
The Shi family is still the old lady's natal family, but now they have parted ways with the Jia family. It's ridiculous to say that the person the old lady doesn't want to see the most right now is named Shi.
In terms of status, Xiangyun is the eldest daughter of the historian family and a noble daughter of a noble family. But from the actual situation, if she marries, let alone her husband's family, it will be a blessing if the Shi family does not cause any trouble to her husband's family.
"Actually, Baoyu will just be a wealthy and idle person in the future. What kind of family background does he want? Yun Yatou's character and temperament are very similar to Baoyu's. In terms of status... Baoyu is actually a lot behind Yun Yatou. To be honest, I feel wronged by Yun Yatou. .”
Yuanchun saw clearly and turned his gaze to the rising sun. It is a good thing that Xiangyun left the Shi family. At least she will not be hindered by the Shi family in the future. The two children can be happy for a lifetime, which can be regarded as the best she can do for Baoyu.
"Sister, I'd better talk to the old lady about this matter. There have been a lot of ladies running to our house recently, all staring at Brother Bao. The old lady is often confused about Brother Bao. She may not know what day it will be. I was deceived and deceived..."
"Is there still such a thing?"
Yuanchun couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that Baoyu would become a favorite. Okay, since you said so, I will mention it to my grandmother today."
In fact, Yuanchun didn't insist on listening to Jia Cong's opinion. In fact, she had already made up her mind after meeting Baochai and Xiangyun on the day she returned to the province.
Asking Jia Cong for his opinion was more to confirm his own opinion. And in her heart, Jia Cong is the backbone of the Jia family's future. With Jia Cong's approval, Baoyu's future will be smoother.
The two siblings chatted for a while, and Yuanchun went to Rongxi Hall to talk to the old lady.
Jia Cong sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to inquire about the situation, and he took two little girls to lay traps in the garden.
Since you agreed to catch sparrows, you will naturally do it. Jia Cong was holding a thin rope in his hand and hiding behind the rockery. The two little girls cuddled beside him and poked their heads.
A pile of millet grains are scattered under the cover made of bamboo strips, which is most attractive to birds in winter, a season when food is scarce.
twitter……
One, two, three...
It is estimated that birds also have their own network. When Jia Cong felt that his legs were going numb from squatting, no less than a dozen sparrows had gathered under the hood.
Hey!
Jia Cong pulled the rope and heard a clang. The small wooden stick supporting the cover popped out, and the cover suddenly buckled down!
"Yeah, I got it, I got it!"
Not waiting for Jia Cong
After standing up, the two little girls clapped their hands happily and jumped towards the cover.
"Don't open it..."
Wow…
Wow wow wow wow...
There was a lot of chattering, and the two little girls' clothes and hair were covered with feathers. The open hoods were lying on the ground, and there was no hair inside except bird feathers.
Xichun and Chun'er cried so much that it was aggrieved. Jia Cong had to smile bitterly and clean up the bird feathers on their bodies. He comforted them in a warm voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's rearrange the trap and we will definitely let you eat it at noon today." Roasted sparrow!"
