Yuanchun left the palace, bringing with him a large number of rewards.
Gold, silver, newly made copper coins, forged fabrics, pearls, four treasures of the study, etc. are all available.
From Jia's mother down, the six to seven hundred people in the two houses of the Jia family were all rewarded.
After thanking him for the moment, Yuanchun sat at the imperial desk in the main hall, glanced at Jia Mu and others, and then looked at the wealth and prosperity of the entire hall, showing the ultimate reluctance in his eyes.
Afraid of making Jia Mu and others cry, she forced a smile on her face, looked at the sisters again, and said in a clear voice: "Feng girl, Daiyu, come forward."
Unexpectedly, Sister Feng and Daiyu looked at each other unexpectedly, and then, urged by the eyes of Jia Mu and others, they walked to the middle together and bowed their heads to say hello.
Yuan Chun glanced at the two girls in front of him, and sighed in his heart that Jia Lian was really lucky, and then said: "I have always lived in a deep palace, but I also know that Brother Lian is an unparalleled hero. Even His Majesty and the Queen often praise him. It is said that it has the legacy of its ancestors, and given time, it may not be impossible to regain the glory of its ancestors.
Since the two of you are destined to be married to him, you should cherish it and help him with your heart. Don't hold on to a little anger or resentment and hurt this fate in vain. "
Yuanchun said, taking a special look at Mrs. Wang and others.
Although she had reminded her grandmother and mother before to be kind to Jia Lian, this trip home made her realize more clearly the importance of Jia Lian to the entire Jia family.
The most rare thing is that Jia Lian is so close to her and now trusts her. She is worried that Jia Lian's enthusiasm will be dampened because of the negligence and short-sightedness of her mother and others.
Knowing that my mother and others feared the imperial power the most, I deliberately pointed out Jia Lian's status in the eyes of the emperor and empress in front of everyone. This could effectively avoid my mother and others getting into trouble with Jia Lian because of some trivial family matters.
In addition, of course, he also reciprocated the favor and helped Jia Lian stabilize the back house.
The blessings of Qi people are not easy to enjoy, especially when she sees that the two cousins Feng Jieer and Daiyu are not stupid and submissive people, so she uses her eldest sister and noble concubine to teach them a lesson.
Sister Feng was used to teaching slaves, so she immediately realized Yuan Chun's intention and quickly knelt down and said: "Thank you for your teaching, I will keep it in mind."
Daiyu followed Sister Feng, but she deeply disagreed with Yuanchun's words.
Xin Xin said that she recognized the second brother Lian not because he was a hero of the world, nor because he had the ability to restore the glory of his ancestors, but because he was the second brother Lian, the second brother Lian who could protect me, care about and love me. That’s all.
No matter what she was thinking, the smart Daiyu would not react at this time. Seeing Sister Feng kneeling, she also knelt down quickly and said: "My maid, I will obey the Queen's will."
"Everyone, get up."
Yuan Chunxu raised his hand, glanced at Zhao Rong next to him, then took a brocade box from his hand, opened it, looked at it, and handed it to Bao Qin.
First, he looked at Sister Feng and said, "When you got married, I was not in the house, so I didn't even give you the gift of changing your relationship..."
Sister Feng kept saying "no need" and so on.
Yuanchun looked at Daiyu again: "When you get married to brother Lian in the future, I won't be able to come to the house to congratulate you two in person.
It just so happened that I got a pair of jasper bracelets in my early years. They were from a piece of jade, with the words "good luck" and "ruyi" engraved on them.
Today I will give it to you two. I hope that you will be like this jade, with flawless texture and consistent inside and outside. "
Baoqin will come to Sister Feng and her son and give "good luck" to Sister Feng and "ruyi" to Daiyu.
The two took it and took a look. It was indeed a flawless and beautiful jade bracelet. Moreover, the shape, structure, and even texture of the two bracelets were almost identical.
Baoqin smiled and said: "This pair of bracelets is our queen's favorite thing. The two can be combined into one, which is also very beautiful."
With that said, Baoqin took the two bracelets, put his hands together, and they really fit together. It turns out that both bracelets have polished flat surfaces on the sides, which can be integrated into one piece. The combined shape is also very beautiful.
From this, it is not difficult to see that these bracelets were originally supposed to be a "perfectly matched" pair, and the purpose of their creation was to be given to a pair of lovers as souvenirs!
Yuanchun gave it to them...
This made Daiyu, who was already shy because Yuanchun talked about her marriage to Jia Lian, blush even more, but she didn't dare not accept the reward.
Next to him, Jia Baoyu looked at this scene with a chill in his heart.
Seeing that Yuanchun loved him so much before, he had thought about whether he could ask Yuanchun for help to save Daiyu's matter?
He knew that Yuanchun was more powerful than Jia Mu. Aren't those people afraid of power and trying to please the second brother Lian? If their sister spoke, they would also obey it, right?
Who would have thought that before he could find a chance and think about how to speak, Yuan Chun would publicly express his approval of Jia Lian and Daiyu's marriage in the Rongqing Hall, take off the rosary from his wrist and give it to Daiyu in public.
His heart felt cold at that time.
Who knew that it would happen again in front of him! Therefore, looking at their harmonious scene, Jia Baoyu only felt so disgusting and dizzy, thinking why did she come to this world and be hurt by them like this? It would be better to die early...
No matter what Jia Baoyu thought, Sister Feng and Daiyu thanked Yuanchun together and returned to their seats.
Upon seeing this, the ceremonial eunuch stepped forward. Yuan Chun knew what he meant and gave him a calm look in advance, then stood up and said loudly: "It is enough for me to go home and see my grandmother and other relatives this time.
After I return home, I will write down today's events in "Grand View Garden", "Ode to Visiting Relatives" and other articles, so that I can live up to the hard work and efforts made by the government to welcome me home.
In addition, after I leave, this garden cannot be locked up and left to be abandoned.
I think there are many sisters in the family, and all of them can sing. If they can move into this garden, firstly, they will have a spacious and quiet place to study, and secondly, it will add vitality to the garden, so that it will not be deserted.
Just don't spend as much money as you do today. "
Yuanchun's instructions, Jia Mu and others immediately nodded in agreement.
When Daiyu saw this, she couldn't help but wonder: She remembered that brother Lian had asked her many times before where she would like to live if she could enter the garden.
After hearing that she liked the "Youfeng Laiyi" (Xiaoxiang Pavilion) the most, I asked her how she would like to decorate it, and even made a special trip to build a beautiful swing frame for her under the old pear tree behind the pavilion...
Brother Lian looked as if he had known that the imperial concubine would let them move in.
But looking at Yuanchun's appearance, it seems like he did it on the spur of the moment? Could it be that the second brother Lian asked Yuanchun for permission in advance?
Daiyu didn't know, but Jia Lian was naturally sure that they could move in. Even if Yuanchun didn't mention it like this, he would write a letter to remind Yuanchun later.
…
After Yinshi, Yuanchun returned to the palace.
Because if it's too late, I won't be able to make it back to the palace. The courtiers will enter the palace at nine o'clock to prepare for the court meeting. As soon as the palace door opens, it will be the next day.
As a royal concubine, Yuanchun was naturally not allowed to spend the night outside the palace, so the time limit for returning to the palace was not entirely unreasonable.
It's also better than the original.
Jia Lian remembers that in the original work, he left the palace at the beginning of spring in the Yuan Dynasty (at seven o'clock in the evening), and he didn't know how long it was before he arrived at Rongguo Mansion. At the last three seconds, he drove back to the palace.
After all the calculations, I only stayed at home for five or six hours.
This time, the wedding ceremony will take a little longer. Yuanchun arrived at Rongguo Mansion in the evening, and it took about nine hours to leave at this time.
But whether it was five, six hours or nine hours, it was too short for Yuanchun, who only got the chance to go home once every ten years.
This is also the reason why Jia Lian did not deliberately seek more time for Yuanchun to return to the province. Because he couldn't let Yuanchun stay at home for a few days, so the difference between two hours more and two hours less was not really big.
Yuanchun has left, and a lot of aftermath work still needs to be done.
Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others naturally had no energy to care. Yuanchun's departure made them very sad. They had already gone back to the house to rest after being comforted by everyone.
Jia Zheng was about to go to court and could not stay to take care of trivial matters, so all the cleaning work inside and outside the garden had to be left to Jia Lian and his wife.
Of course, it is inevitable that Youshi, Li Wan, Qin Keqing and others will help.
However, Sister Feng didn't know whether she wanted to show off or she really felt sorry for Jia Lian. It didn't take long before she found him and asked him to go back and rest.
"You have to hold a banquet tomorrow to thank your family. How can you do it if you are not energetic? Go back quickly."
These are Sister Feng's words.
Jia Lian had always trusted Sister Feng's ability to manage affairs, and after hearing what she said was reasonable and sincere, he was not polite to her. He just told her to take care of the important things first and keep the rest for later.
In order to welcome Yuanchun's return to the province, it took ten days just to decorate the garden. Not to mention the things that had been prepared before, how many things were used?
Therefore, the workload of the two prefectures and one garden is also huge.
Sister Feng fully agreed to Jia Lian's explanation, but obviously didn't take it to heart.
When Jia Lian went home and slept for two hours, he woke up and bumped into Sister Feng, who was tiptoeing about to go to bed.
"You're awake, I'm going to relieve myself..."
Seeing Jia Lian frowning at her, Sister Feng felt guilty and wanted to hide it, so she lifted the quilt she had just covered up and tried to get out of bed.
That cautious appearance, coupled with poor acting skills, and the trace of tiredness on the face of a wife who should have been bright and charming, made Jia Lian's dissatisfaction disappear. He grabbed her arm, hugged her in his arms, and wrapped her in a quilt. Jia Lian followed the bulge of the quilt and gave her a light slap.
With such a simple action, Sister Feng knew that Jia Lian had seen through everything.
Seeing that Jia Lian didn't mean to blame her, she felt happy and embarrassed at the same time. She found a comfortable position in Jia Lian's arms and snuggled up, and then explained: "There are too many things in the garden, especially those in the palace. , most of them are very expensive. Wouldn’t it be a pity if they were not collected and picked up, whether they were lost or accidentally damaged? So, I thought about taking care of all those things before coming back, who knows if I accidentally , it will be dawn..."
The more Sister Feng talked, the more she felt guilty, because if she hadn't discovered that it was getting brighter, she would have been dealt with by Jia Lian, and she didn't want to leave the matter behind and come back.
She didn't know why, she hadn't slept for two nights, but as long as she was given something to do, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Jia Lian didn't know what to say about these ladies. Even though he held a tolerant attitude and believed that everyone has their own preferences and pursuits, and there was no need to interfere unless necessary, he was still impressed by Sister Feng's "professionalism".
With this attitude, in future generations, he would be the proper CEO of a listed company.
"Are you angry?" Seeing Jia Lian's silence, Sister Feng looked up at Jia Lian's face with some worry.
"No."
Jia Lian put his hand into Sister Feng's underwear, touched her flat and smooth belly, and sighed: "I just pity our child. Her mother doesn't miss him at all, and doesn't want to take him to see this colorful world early." …”
Hearing this, Sister Feng blushed and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? This has nothing to do with that...Besides, I'm really not tired. I just sit and arrange for the slaves below to do things. I don't do it myself~"
In response, Jia Lian just snorted.
He didn't believe that Sister Feng didn't understand the truth. He just wanted her to stay at home for a long time to prepare for pregnancy. For her, it was more uncomfortable than killing her!
He didn't bother to persuade her, because he even raised the issue of heirs, which was the most important issue for Sister Feng, but Sister Feng still couldn't remember it, which meant that she really couldn't change it.
In this case, why force it?
Since she enjoys this feeling of being involved, let her enjoy it.
"Go to sleep, I'll rub your belly."
When Jia Lian said this, he suddenly noticed that his sweet wife's belly was rubbing, which was quite interesting.
However, Sister Feng became seriously moved, lay down, closed her eyes with a smile, and prepared to sleep.
But she couldn't sleep at all and found that she was extremely energetic. Don't blame Jia Lian's hands, Jia Lian's hands are very regular and gentle.
"Well, let's discuss something with you."
"What?"
"I want to build a bathing pool in our garden, just like the one in the queen's palace... It doesn't have to be that good, just a smaller one. Do you think it's feasible?"
Sister Feng held Jia Lian's body with one hand, rested her head on Jia Lian's arm, and discussed in a low voice.
It turned out that she had been envious of Yuanchun since she saw the beautiful scenery while bathing last night.
Unfortunately, her yard was too small. After thinking about it, there was only a piece of land at the back of the garden that was useless, so I wanted to ask Jia Lian to see if it was feasible.
"What are you spending your energy on? Anyway, the bathhouse in the palace is no longer used. It would be a waste to leave it for nothing. If you want to use it, who can stop you from using it?"
"Then, how can that be done? After all, it belongs to the queen. If I use it casually, wouldn't it be trespassing?"
Sister Feng shook her head and said repeatedly.
Her concept of superiority and inferiority is still very strong.
Seeing this, Jia Lian didn't say much, because he suddenly felt that it would be good to have a bathing pool in his own courtyard.
So he nodded and said: "In that case, let's use the three small rooms behind the flower hall. When I have free time, I will ask the craftsmen to come in and renovate them."
"Is it really possible?"
Sister Feng stood up happily and said, "Where does the water come from? Do you have to ask the slaves to pick it up once you use it? That would be too troublesome, right?"
"It doesn't matter. We're not far from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. We can bring a stream of running water from there and pass it under the wall. That's it."
"Wouldn't it be bad to tamper with the feng shui of your queen's garden..."
Jia Lian chuckled and looked at Sister Feng, "Then do you want to do it?"
Sister Feng was at a loss for words. After all, she still wanted to enjoy herself, so she nodded shyly.
"That's it. Leave it to me. I'll design and build it. However, you have to pay for it."
"Tsk, tell me this, I'll do it on my own."
Sister Feng sneered silently. Since she had tens of thousands of taels of gold at the bottom of the box, she felt that she was very rich and how could she care about such a small expense.
Jia Lian pinched her face and turned over.
He could tell that if he didn't leave, this girl wouldn't want to sleep and would still want to chat!
"What to do?"
"Go to the yamen and order a meal."
Seeing Jia Lian recruiting the maids to come in and change clothes, Sister Feng curled her lips: What about her, isn't she also a hard worker?
So he ignored Jia Lian, covered himself with a quilt, and fell down on the couch.
