It was easy to hide it from Zhen Qin. After all, she wouldn't think too much.
The three of them talked in the room for a while, and then Zhu Jinghong and Zhen Qin sent Baochai back to Kunning Palace, and he himself stayed on.
With everything to be done arranged, Zhu Jinghong can naturally relax, and he is actually very interested in eating, drinking and having fun.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the tenth day of the first lunar month.
This day is relatively special. Under Zhu Jinghong's previous initiative, the queen decided to summon the women of the loyal ministers' family, and the time was set on this day.
As one of the summoned women, Daiyu received the notice two days in advance, and the entire Jia family also prepared for the event.
Because of Jia Zhen's incident, the Jia family has been cast into a haze. Now that they encounter such a good thing, the Jia family will naturally pay more attention to it.
At this moment, Daiyu was sitting in front of the mirror, dressing up. In addition to a few serving girls beside her, there were two female officials sitting on the chairs behind her.
The task of these two people is to guide Daiyu through the entire process of entering the palace for an audience. The current style of grooming and clothing is determined by these two people.
The girls worked hard for half an hour to finish Daiyu's makeup and headdress, and then it was time to change clothes.
At this moment, outside the room, Mrs. Jia Mu and Wang were waiting, and soon they would send Daiyu into the palace in person.
"Girl Lin is smart and smart. She will definitely be liked by the Queen. I'm afraid she will be indispensable for her benefits!"
Mother Jia liked to hear these words, so Mrs. Xing said it in different ways. She also had two brushes to please her mother-in-law.
Just listen to Jia Mu say: "If you can be valued by the Queen... then it will be her destiny!"
The old and young were chatting in low voices, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious. It was obvious that the whole family was in a good mood.
If there was anyone who was unhappy, it would undoubtedly be Mrs. Wang who was smiling.
There are two reasons why she is unhappy. One is that Yuanchun has become the princess, but she has not yet regained the power of the housekeeper, and is still controlled by Mrs. Xing.
The second thing is that her sister sent someone with a letter yesterday, politely rejecting Mrs. Wang's idea of marriage, which made her so-called "golden love" idea come to nothing.
As unhappy as she was, Jia Baoyu stayed in the house.
"I'm telling you, Mr. Lin, it's a great thing that Miss Lin was called. Why are you angry about this?"
When Xiren tried to persuade him, Baoyu, who was lying on the bed, was unwilling to listen at all and turned to the other side.
Seeing this, Qingwen, who came over with a hand stove, said, "You still don't understand this... The second master is afraid that Miss Lin will stay in the palace and never see her again!"
This sentence can be said to reveal the truth, but it also pierced Jia Baoyu's heart.
"No...Sister Lin can't enter the palace, she can't enter the palace!"
Baoyu jumped up from the bed and walked back and forth in the room, shouting at the same time.
"Second Master, don't yell..."
Several girls were so panicked that they stepped forward to stop Baoyu and stop him from going crazy.
Now that the people in the palace are here, if Baoyu's crazy words are listened to, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause.
Seeing that no one understood her, Baoyu jumped angrily and said, "You don't even understand. This is all the fault of the Thirteenth Master. He has ulterior motives for Sister Lin..."
"He wants to break up Sister Lin and I. He is not a good person..."
Not to mention, Baoyu is very accurate on this point.
While everyone was making a fuss, shouts came from outside: "Why are you making a fuss again? You can't just calm down!"
The person who said this was Wang Xifeng, who needed to handle most of the affairs in the mansion. She just passed by Baoyu Courtyard and heard some noise, so she came in to see what was going on.
After entering the house, Wang Xifeng scolded Baoyu when he saw Baoyu walking back and forth and saying something: "How do you serve Baoyu? Why is it like this again?"
In Wang Xifeng's rage, no one dared to answer the question, so Xiren got a little bolder and stepped forward to report: "Second Grandma, calm down, Baoyu can't bear to leave Miss Lin!"
"No matter how reluctant you are, there is still time to score. What nonsense are you doing at this time!"
After saying that, Wang Xifeng walked to the back room. At this moment, Baoyu was still noisy like a child. Anyway, he just didn't want Daiyu to leave.
"Baoyu... stop fooling around!"
"Your second brother is at home today. If he hears it, he will kick your intestines out!"
Now in this mansion, except for Jia Zhen, only Jia Lian can control him. As soon as Wang Xifeng's words came out, Baoyu quickly settled down.
"Sister Feng, this time Sister Lin enters the palace, it must be the intention of the Thirteenth Master. He treats Sister Lin..."
Before Baoyu could finish what he said, Wang Xifeng immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth, for fear that he would say something insignificant again.
"You bastard, how can you say these nonsense, are you going to die?"
For fear that Baoyu would not know the seriousness of the matter, Wang Xifeng then reminded: "Didn't you see what happened to your brother Zhen now?"
Jia Zhen is disabled and can only lie in bed now. Her desolate appearance makes everyone in Jia's family feel sad.
Originally named Crown Princess in Yuanchun, Wang Xifeng, like most of the Jia family, felt that they could walk sideways in Beijing, and Jia Zhen's incident could be regarded as a wake-up call for them.
A dignified third-rank mighty general, a first-class man personally conferred by the imperial court, was violently taken away from his home and beaten to death, which brought a great shock to everyone.
The culprit was just scolded a few times and slapped a few times.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng warned again: "Be calm today, don't go anywhere, whatever you want to eat and play is up to you, don't make any more trouble!"
I have to say that Wang Xifeng is really too kind to her brother-in-law and cousin, and she treats him like a son.
Of course, only Wang Xifeng knew whether Baoyu was Yuanchun's biological brother or not.
When she was finally comforted, Daiyu on the other side had finished dressing up. Under the guidance of the female officer, she got into a sedan chair and left the Jia Mansion, and was escorted to the imperial city by Jia Lian and Jia Rong.
Wang Xifeng deliberately hid this matter from Baoyu. Only after everyone in the palace left did he know that Daiyu had left.
Rushing to Jia's mother's room, Jia Baoyu asked with great concern: "Old ancestor...when will Sister Lin come back?"
Jia Mu put down her tea cup and replied, "It's impossible to say..."
But seeing her little grandson's anxious look, Mother Jia smiled and said, "I'll be back in the afternoon, you don't have to worry too much!"
At this time, Tanchun interjected: "Old ancestor, I heard from my father two days ago that Uncle Lin submitted a petition to resign, but the Holy Father rejected it..."
"You're so good, why do you want to resign?"
He actually didn't know about this matter... Baoyu was secretly dumbfounded.
He immediately thought that if Uncle Lin resigned, Daiyu would probably be taken away. This was a result that he could not accept.
Just listen to Jia Mu's answer: "It's said that his body is overwhelmed. That's true in his position. He was such a high-spirited person at the beginning, but now he is almost collapsing..."
Tanchun continued: "Today the Queen summoned the daughter of the hero, and Sister Lin was also among them... It shows that the royal family is aware of Uncle Lin's difficulties!"
She has always been outstanding among sisters, but her words today still surprised Jia Mu.
You know, Tanchun is only twelve or thirteen years old now, and he can analyze these things in the court. This is no longer ordinary excellence.
Looking at Tanchun, Jia Mu nodded in approval: "It's really valuable that you can understand this. It seems that your mother taught you well!"
Watching the couple welcome the spring, Mother Jia warned: "You two... you should learn more from Tan Yatou and don't read rote books all day long!"
