Chapter 6
"Brothers are here." Miss Six whispered.
Jia Yuanniang looked up and saw her four younger brothers coming to greet her grandmother.
Princess Long'an sat in the main seat, and Jia Hongyou, the eldest son of the four grandchildren, took the lead. All the brothers stood together and greeted their grandmother together.
Never mind that it was Jia Hongyou, the eldest son of Dafang, the fifth son, and Jia Hongxi, the sixth son of the concubine. Jia Hongxi, the third son of the second wife, and Jia Honglu, the fourth son of the concubine. Princess Long'an looked at her four grandchildren with a very kind expression.
Princess Long'an received the courtesy from her grandchildren and said quickly: "Get up quickly."
After the four young men from the two families greeted their grandmother, the eight brothers and sisters greeted each other again.
Seeing that there were many people of the younger generation in the room, and it was naturally lively and lively when there were more people, Princess Long'an felt better and better, and her expression became kinder.
At this moment, Princess Long'an still cared about her juniors, and asked Jia Hongyou, the eldest son of the eldest son, and Jia Hongxi, the third son of the second eldest son, carefully one by one.
As for Jia Hongxi, the sixth concubine of the first house, and Jia Honglu, the fourth concubine of the second house, Princess Longan only received the courtesy and did not ask any questions.
There were a total of four young men in the two houses. After coming to Ning'an Hall to check in, they didn't stay long. After saying hello, they said goodbye and left.
When the granddaughters were left in the house, Princess Longan and her four granddaughters said, "All men are busy people. Your father came to Ning'an Hall early to pay his respects. He came and went in a hurry and had to be busy attending court. Look. Look at you brothers, you can't stop for a while even if you come to Ning'an Hall, and now you are rushing to study in the study in the front yard."
"All the men in the family know how to make progress, and people outside don't know how much they envy the Duke's mansion. Everyone praises that my mother was born with wealth, and she should have enjoyed blessings when she was born. Not only does she enjoy honor, but she also benefits future generations. May you bring blessings and longevity to your descendants.”
After hearing such hearty compliments, Jia Sanniang stood up immediately. She heard clearly who the owner of the voice was.
Then, Jia Sanniang saw the female relatives entering the house. At this time, the maid Jade in front of my grandmother respectfully invited the two ladies into the flower hall. These two are Jia Sanniang's aunt and aunt.
At this time, Jia Sanniang followed her eldest sister Yuan Niang and bowed to her aunt and uncle.
As soon as the wife of the Duke of Dafang, Jia Zhao, arrived, she praised her first, which made Princess Long'an happy.
Mrs. Jia Zhao and her sister-in-law Jia Cui paid their respects to their mother-in-law, Princess Long'an. At the same time, the two of them also received greetings from the juniors.
Sui Guogong's Mansion, Ning'an Hall.
All the female relatives of the palace gathered together. Princess Long'an was accompanied by her daughter-in-law and granddaughters. She was in a good mood and listened to everyone making her happy. People in the room were chatting and laughing, so the flower hall was naturally lively.
At the end of the morning, the eldest maid Feicui came into the room and said, "Princess, please prepare the breakfast."
"Let's eat." Princess Long'an nodded gently and replied.
The daughter's family was a spoiled guest in the boudoir, so Jia Sanniang and other juniors naturally ate with her grandmother.
As for the two ladies, Mrs. Jia Zhao and Mrs. Jia Cui, they naturally have to serve their mother-in-law, Princess Long'an, according to the rules.
All the female relatives moved to the dining hall.
The maids brought the prepared food. Jia Zhao and Jia Cui took the food prepared for Princess Longan and handed it to their mother-in-law one by one.
After the meal was set, Princess Long'an said: "I'll leave the guests here to eat. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, you two should also go back and have dinner."
Princess Long'an considered herself a generous mother-in-law, so she asked her two daughters-in-law to go back to their respective courtyards to have dinner. There is no need to serve her as an old woman.
Princess Long'an has no interest in nurturing her daughter-in-law by setting rules, and she has no shortage of servants to serve her.
The two sisters-in-law, Jia Zhao and Jia Cui, responded together, bowed respectfully to Princess Long'an, and then the two ladies said goodbye and left together.
After eating in the morning and simply cleansing their faces and mouth, Princess Longan left her granddaughters to chat for a while.
Waiting for the maid next to Princess Long'an to remind her that it was time to recite sutras one day.
"Grandma, the granddaughters don't dare to disturb you in worshiping Buddha. The four of us sisters will leave first." Jia Yuanniang said first.
Princess Long'an responded with a smile and said: "It's done." So Jia Sanniang and the other four sisters stood up and said goodbye together.
After coming out of Ning'an Hall, Jia Yuanniang and Jia Sanniang went to Rong'an Hall together, and they went to greet the Duke's wife Jia Zhao. Jia Erniang and Jia Liuniang went to the east courtyard together to greet the second lady Jia Cui.
The four sisters go their separate ways and each has his own destination.
Go through the corridor and go through the corridor.
Walking slowly along the way, Jia Yuanniang and Jia Sanniang asked: "Third sister, I have begged my grandmother and wanted the four of us sisters to go to Daxiangguo Temple to pray together before the royal election. Which sister is this time? It’s better not to be absent. Third sister, are you willing to go out?"
"Of course I'm happy." Jia Sanniang was very willing to go out and play. If you stay in the Duke's Mansion all the time, you will get tired of looking at the beautiful scenery for a long time.
You can go to the temple to burn incense, worship Buddha, eat vegetarian food, and even enjoy a baptism of Zen sounds. After thinking about it, Jia Sanniang was looking forward to the day when she would go to pray.
"As long as my sister is willing," Jia Yuanniang replied with a smile. Occasionally, she would look at the third sister in front of her.
Past and present lives are intertwined. Not long after Jia Yuanniang recovered her memories of her past and present lives, during the Lantern Festival, she happened to arrange for someone to save her third sister who fell into the water.
While waiting for Jia Yuanniang to accompany her grandmother to the Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, she always loved to dream at night, inside and outside her dreams, and she was always in and out of dreams. Later, when Jia Yuanniang understood everything inside, whether it was true or not, she sorted out the future and past of two lifetimes.
After living again, Jia Yuanniang's understanding of herself and her relatives is naturally very different.
The third sister in front of me, and the third sister in my memory from my previous life. Jia Yuanniang made a small discovery, that is, the changes in the two third sisters were not that obvious.
After repeated observations, Jia Yuanniang couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, "Hey, that's strange, that's weird."
"Eldest sister, what's wrong with me?" Jia Sanniang asked her eldest sister Yuan Niang to stare at her until she felt itchy all over. All in all, it's not very comfortable.
"There is nothing inappropriate." Jia Yuanniang replied: "I just saw how handsome the third sister was, so I took another look. I thought to myself that all the sisters in our Duke's mansion are beautiful women."
Jia Yuanniang immediately looked for an excuse to reply.
After listening to these words, Jia Sanniang thought about it seriously, covered her mouth and smiled, and replied: "Sister, how can there be sisters with bad looks in this house." Born in a wealthy family, she was still afraid of the lack of improvements. The biological mother of the child with the appearance gene?
That can't be the case.
If the parents are ugly, the children will be ugly. As long as one of the two parents has good appearance, after generations of improvement, he will always have good health and good education, and he will become a talented and beautiful woman. This is a genetic choice, purely natural and does not contain any fake factors.
"Of course, we must carefully discuss who is the most outstanding among the sisters. Big sister, you are the most beautiful one." Jia Sanniang said sincerely.
Jia Yuanniang thought to herself, everyone praised the sixth sister for having a coaxing sweet mouth. Now I see that the third sister is not willing to give in too much.
Jia Yuanniang thought about her past and present lives. In her past life, she entered the palace to be the empress, regardless of whether she was a concubine or a queen. She felt regretful that even if she became the queen of the middle palace, she still felt that she was missing an heir, Chenghuan.
Her third sister, Sanniang, married at a low age. Her husband died early and she had no heirs, so she had no choice but to return to her parents' home.
The lintel of the second marriage was lower than that of the first marriage. However, the third sister seemed to be a little bit harsh on her husband. Her husband died early again, leaving only a posthumous son for the third sister.
Jia Yuanniang's memory of her previous life is that her third sister was widowed and kept filial piety to her husband, raising her son alone.
Even if she has the protection of her natal family, because the third sister has done some business and earned a fortune, she will inevitably be contaminated by some gossip and malicious slander.
Even if they live like this, no matter how lonely they are, the third sister still smiles in front of others. In terms of attitude towards people and things, the third sister has always been unafraid of malice, willing to do good, and has always established a good reputation for her only son as a kind family.
What is the third sister's temperament? Have I ever described the third sister in these memories?
Jia Yuanniang had some doubts in her heart. She didn't know whether the third sister in her previous life had remained true to her original intentions and was as open-minded as she had been in childhood, or whether she was a cunning businessman and just deceived others.
"Third sister, you and sixth sister have similar interests. They are both masters of coaxing people even if they don't pay for their lives." Jia Yuanniang replied with a smile at this time.
Jia Yuanniang had already made up her mind. She thought, should she still care about the temperament of her third sister? I must be too busy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to think so much.
After thinking about it again, Jia Yuanniang felt that the third sister was not related to the overall situation and did not affect anything important. She would like to play more closely with her sisters while she is in the boudoir. After all, today's relaxed and happy time is passing day by day.
When he is young, the joy and comfort of these young girls will be recalled with full happiness.
As for the general election, the royal family hinted that they wanted to marry the Jia family. Jia Yuanniang had long thought about the taste of the past, and she did not necessarily have to enter the palace to be the empress at that time.
It is better to be the emperor's concubine than to be the emperor's younger brother and sister. They are all married to the royal family, and the princes and concubines are also members of the royal clan.
Among the three sons of the late emperor, the eldest son inherited the throne and was Emperor Hongwu. The second son was canonized as King of Jin, and the third son was canonized as King of Dai.
Among them, the Daiwang is a prince who pursues a life-long relationship with one person. In Jia Yuanniang's memory, Princess Dai had difficulty in giving birth and died after giving birth to a son.
The prince Dai Wang never remarried, nor did he take any concubines into the same house. He only raised his only son until he was seven years old, and then he submitted a memorial to the emperor's brother requesting that the title be passed on to his son.
Emperor Hongwu did not allow it, so the king submitted a memorial every year. Emperor Hongwu made his younger brother lose his temper, and when his nephew reached the age of ten, he agreed to his third brother's request to act as king.
Then, this prince, the third younger brother of Emperor Hongwu, happily left the title and prince's palace to his son, and also entrusted his son's marriage to the emperor. He himself happily went sightseeing, and from time to time he would send some travel notes to his brother in the palace to share. Such a king lived a refined, elegant and leisurely life.
Jia Yuanniang did not have a very leisurely life in the palace in her previous life, and it was difficult for her to be a dignified, steady, virtuous and fair empress in the palace. She had only wanted to live a relaxed life all her life, and the position of Princess Dai was Jia Yuanniang's favorite goal.
