At dusk, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people stood at the gate of Jia Mansion, their legs almost numb. On this day, the Luck Golden Dragon was playing with them to death, just like walking a dog.
Not to mention Jia Mu, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng both looked as if they were falling apart.
As for the reason why Jia Mu didn't collapse to the ground from exhaustion, it was almost entirely because of her inner strength.
Just when the last ray of light on the horizon was about to disappear, Butler Lai finally ran over from the end of the street in a panic: "Old lady! The empress is back!!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately cheered up, straightened their backs, and prepared to welcome Yuanchun.
Wang Xifeng also immediately ordered his servants to bring in candles one by one and light them everywhere.
When the order was finished, I suddenly heard the sound of horses running outside. Suddenly, a dozen eunuchs came running out of breath and clapping their hands. These eunuchs understood that it was the Spring Festival and stopped in each direction.
As the person with the highest status in the Jia family, Jia She led the men and nephews of the clan to greet him at the gate of Rongning Street. Jia's mother led the female family members of the clan to greet him outside the gate.
Suddenly, I saw a pair of eunuchs in red riding horses slowly approaching. They got off their horses at the West Street Gate, drove the horses out of the curtain, and stopped with their hands down, facing the west.
Half a day later, there was another pair, and it was the same. When I was young, about ten pairs came, and I could hear the faint sound of music. There were pairs of dragon flags, phoenix feathers, pheasant feathers and kui heads, and there were gold-pinned stoves burning royal incense.
Then a crank-handled seven-phoenix golden umbrella came over, which was a crown, robe, and shoes. There were also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargle bowls, whisks, etc. After the group passed by, there were eight eunuchs behind them.
Wearing a golden embroidered phoenix hat with a golden top, he walked slowly.
Mrs. Wang's eyes were filled with tears at this moment, and she was extremely excited: My son has really been blessed and can support her mother-in-law.
But as everyone knows, Yuanchun cannot protect himself, so who can support him?
Yuanchun went to the villa to change clothes first, and then met everyone under the guard of the eunuchs and maids.
When he saw Baoyu, Yuanchun couldn't help crying. Although the two were siblings, they had the same affection as mother and son. Yuanchun had always taken Jia Baoyu with him when he was a child.
Then Jia Mu and the others led Yuan Chun to look around the provincial villa one by one, and saw that the carved beams and painted edifices everywhere were very luxurious.
When Yuanchun met everyone at home, tears fell uncontrollably.
How can the palace be so easy to mess with? Although Yuanchun had been protected by the old concubine Zhen in the palace because of his relationship with the Jia family, he had been whipped to the right and kicked to the left for so many years!
After Yuanchun said a few words to everyone one by one, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Why don't you see Baochai from my aunt's family and Daiyu from my aunt's family?"
When this was mentioned, Mrs. Wang said bitterly: "One or two of them, no matter how high or low they are! They all used the excuse that they were going to the palace to meet the empress. My own concubine did not see them come back when she was visiting the bride. This shows that it is not a good thing."
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chun and Jia Mu's expressions changed instantly. What kind of sb behavior could they say such a thing?
Let’s not talk about Daiyu for now, she met the queen as the daughter of an important minister.
That Baochai's identity is the same as TM stacking buffs! The wife of a super-grade marquis, Emperor Longqing personally made her the county lord, granting her royal treatment, and Empress Yin's goddaughter, granting her royal status.
Take any of these identities and no one would dare to say anything except Jia Yuanchun!
Jia Mu wanted to scold Mrs. Wang, but when she thought that Yuan Chun was still here, she swallowed her words.
Yuan Chun patiently explained to Mrs. Wang: "Mom, please don't say that. It would be a great disrespect to spread such words.
It is a rule to meet the Queen, so how can I dare to compare it with her?
What's more, if my aunt's sister Baochai is higher than me in terms of status, how can I let Baochai welcome me? Mother, don't say this anymore."
Perhaps it was because of Yuan Chun's presence, or perhaps because she had been suppressed for too long, Mrs. Wang muttered again: "What's so great about it? Isn't it just that she has found a good husband?"
That’s not what they say. If we don’t share the hardships together, do we still want to share the wealth and honor?
Without Mr. Xue’s kindness in raising him, nothing would have happened.
Hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Yuan Chun also sighed in his heart, and when he sighed, he felt his fate.
In today's era, Baochai's destination is definitely among the best!
Not to mention the future, just now, relying on Xue Hong's merit and reputation, as well as the story between Xue Hong and Baochai, the two are destined to be famous for future generations.
What's more, Xue Hong is not only a young feudal prince, but also rare that he has almost never heard of any bad deeds.
According to outside rumors, Xue Hong’s daily life is almost three-point and one-line: the Ministry of Industry, the palace, and home!
Apart from being occasionally taken to the theater by the Sixth Prince and Chen Chen, or accompanying them to a restaurant for a meal, there was nothing else.
Look at the men of the Jia family again. One by one, they are raising Qing guests.
There are all those who visit prostitutes and drink wine, there are all kinds of men, there are all kinds of people who pretend to be crazy and act stupid!
If it had been one of Jia She or Jia Zheng who picked up Xue Hong, maybe he wouldn't have had to go to that shady place.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chun glanced at Jia Baoyu who was rouging and powdering her face, and felt infinite desolation in her heart.
Suddenly, Yuanchun raised his head: "Is uncle here? I have two things to say to uncle, and I would like to ask my grandmother, mother, and sisters to step aside for now."
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang doesn’t know why, it’s clear that Jia Zheng is Yuanchun’s father, why do you want to see Jia She by name first?
Although he was confused, he still obeyed the order and retreated.
Not long after, Jia She, who was thin and slim, walked in with sloppy steps.
It was really difficult for Yuanchun to connect the old man with a wretched face and thin body in front of him with the strong and majestic uncle in his impression.
"My lord, Jia She has met your empress."
The familiar but slightly old voice awakened Yuanchun's memories.
Yuanchun: "Uncle...you, how do you..."
Jia She raised his head, showed a smile, and said calmly: "I am old...I don't know that the queen called me in, but the superior..."
Yuan Chun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and handed over what Queen Yin said to Jia She.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jia She took a few steps back and burst into tears: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but in the end... it's still too late..."
No one can save the Jia family from its current situation. Even if Jia pardons and Jia Jing come out again, at most they can only delay the decline of the Jia family.
What a family is fighting for is neither money nor power, the most important thing is offspring!
Nowadays, all the men in the Jia family are good-looking, but how can any one of them be the leader?
Originally, Jia Hu was the eldest grandson of the Jia family and had the best qualifications. However, he had no choice but to take the blame for Jia She and died "accidentally".
Jia Zhu, with average qualifications, was forced to be eliminated by Mrs. Wang!
Jia Lian is not good at studying or practicing martial arts at all! He is considered the number one in the capital when it comes to picking up girls!
Finally, there is Jia Baoyu, who has great qualifications, but Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang are confused and they are always talking about being born with a jade in their mouth!
Irrespective of whether this is true or not, you, a son of a courtier, was born with a jade in his mouth. Do you want to become a serf and sing songs and become the emperor yourself?
Even if Jia Baoyu was not born a pervert, he was destined not to enter the officialdom!
The rest are some young guys who are still undecided, such as Jia Lan, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, etc.
The reason why Jia She likes Jia Huan so much in the original work is because he is smart and unpredictable, and his status is "lowly" enough, so he can give the emperor a chance to show kindness.
But now Emperor Longqing's mercy has come too late, and the Jia Mansion will eventually end up in a white and clean land.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the bad things the Jia family did in the early years, it was enough to raid the house ten times!
