Capital City, Rongguo Palace.
Before dawn, the tense atmosphere enveloped the whole house. When breakfast was over, even Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, You, and Hu from the East House rushed over.
Seeing Jia's mother's courtyard, Wang Xifeng from a distance greeted him and joked with a smile, "Our family doesn't eat and drink based on this fame, just look at all of you inspiring people."
Saying that, she glanced left and right, and asked curiously, "Why don't you see your second brother?"
The second brother in her mouth was actually the son of You Shi's birth last summer. His real name was Jia Tiao [shao]. Unlike his father and brother, who were weak and weak, this little guy was born with a big head, a big brain, a broad waist and a broad body, which was extremely likable.
Hearing her mention her son, the smile on You Shi's face increased a bit, but she pretended to be disgusted and said, "If the little monkey comes with you, this courtyard should be playing a big havoc in the Heavenly Palace—left and right. Not too far away, I simply left him to the nurse to take care of him."
Listening to her showing off her son in public and secret praise, Wang Xifeng couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Originally, she had been holding back all the time, wanting to give birth to a son, but now that Jia Lian...
But she has always been very strong, no matter how unhappy she is in her heart, she will not show the slightest on her face.
Laughingly led You and the others to the inner room, and greeted Jia's mother with a frenzy, and Jia's mother also complained: "It's just Qiu Wei's announcement, how can you even be disturbed?"
As she spoke, the bead in her hand did not stop for a moment, and it turned more than twice as fast as usual.
But it turns out that today is the day when the autumn season is released every three years.
Because Baoyu passed the government exam last year, he participated in this year's Autumn Festival again, intending to take advantage of the situation to win the fame of Juren.
This is about to be released. Several masters in the house are restless all day long. Even if the servants don't care much, they can't help but pretend to be nervous.
Therefore, the whole house is really like a great enemy.
"How do you say that?!"
"How can it be so coincidental!"
However, he said that the room was still chatting, but there was a sudden noise outside, Jia Mu frowned when she heard it, and Wang Xifeng was ready to go out to find out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he had a face-to-face with Xiren. Seeing that she was in a hurry, Wang Xifeng thought it was the Gongyuan who sent back news, and hurriedly dragged her to ask what happened.
Unexpectedly, Xiren shook his head, but said, "It's not this, it's because several relatives suddenly came to our house!"
The feelings are that Wang Ren, Xue Tad, Xing Zhong and others arrived in the capital, then Wang Ren returned first, not to mention, but Xue Ta and Xing Zhong all came to Rongguo Mansion.
Among them, there were also Li Wan's widowed aunt and two younger sisters, but they bumped into each other on the way north. Since they were going to visit relatives in the capital, they gathered together.
After reporting the matter to Mother Jia, the old lady said 'please' several times, and then sent someone to invite Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, and Xue Baochai.
Because several small ones were also gathered together, waiting for the news of Jia Baoyu, at this time I heard that relatives were coming, and even Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Xichun came over together.
For a while, there were five or six people in the living room who were arguing with each other.
And among this, Xue Baoqin, who is generous, yet charming and lively, was full of praise as soon as he showed up, and Xing Xiuyan was much inconspicuous in comparison.
Especially since Mrs. Xing was in the mansion, she was not very likable. Xing Xiuyan could not avoid being implicated by her, and she lost a few points in the first impression.
"what?!"
However, he said that the relatives were gossiping and describing their feelings of separation. Suddenly, Wang Xifeng said in surprise: "How can there be something from the Erlang of the Sun family on this gift list?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn their attention. Even Mother Jia didn't care to praise Baoqin, and hurriedly asked where the gifts came from.
Don't blame everyone for making a fuss, now that Sun Shaozong became famous in Huguang, and Sun Shaozu is holding a lot of troops in Shenji Camp, although it is not comparable to the extravagance of the Wang family, it has surpassed the nominal historian.
The status is different, and the attention they receive is naturally very different.
To be honest, if these relatives were added together, Sun Shaozong might not be the only one.
"Ancestor."
Xue Tu hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "When we were about to leave in Jinling, we happened to bump into the second brother Sun on an order to return to Beijing, so we gathered together - these gifts, he originally thought of the capital, and then gave them to the palace. sent."
"Who would have guessed that when he passed by Jinmen Mansion yesterday, he suddenly got another will, ordering him to offer victory from the east gate, and I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince will welcome him in person!"
"With such an honor, we must prepare well before we can officially enter Beijing."
"Second brother Sun had to stay in Jinmen's house temporarily, so he had to entrust brother Wang to help bring the luggage to the capital first—the luggage next to him had already been sent to Sun's house by brother Wang, but these boxes of gifts are for I gave it to the mansion, and asked me to bring it along with me."
Everyone was amazed when they heard that Sun Shaozong had received the honor of being personally welcomed by the prince.
Among them, Mrs. Xing was the happiest person. She ignored Aunt Xing and her daughter, but she was satisfied with the in-laws of the Sun family and couldn't be more satisfied.
In a moment of complacency, she couldn't help but half-show off and half-sarcastically: "How could Erlang of the Sun family have accomplished such a feat, yet he is not arrogant or impetuous for a few days - but our family has been around for generations, but now it is only For the sake of making people famous, it made the whole house uneasy."
After these words, most of the people in the room changed their faces.
Especially Mrs. Wang, her old face with some smiling face collapsed immediately.
At this moment, someone suddenly said coquettishly, "Brother Bao is only 16 years old this year. First of all, you will be admitted to the middle school before being admitted to the jinshi. When you reach your twenties, you may not be inferior to Second Brother Sun!"
At this time, it is natural for Shi Xiangyun to dare to stand up for Jia Baoyu in public.
When she raised her head, everyone, regardless of whether she was sincere or not, praised Baoyu, and even said nothing about Sun Shaozong.
Seeing that everyone was praising Baoyu so much, as if it was a champion, but it was just within reach. Suddenly, someone outside shouted, "Second Master Lian is back, Second Master Lian is back!"
Hearing these words, everyone immediately put out their flattery, and all looked out the door with bated breath.
Not long after, he saw Jia Lian pick up the curtain and enter the room. Seeing that there were so many strangers in the room, he couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
"Where's Baoyu?!"
Mother Jia propped up the table, stood up from Luohan's bed, and asked repeatedly, "Didn't you take him to see the list?! What about others? Did you win?!"
Seeing that the old lady was so excited, Jia Lian lowered her head and replied embarrassingly, "Brother Bao has returned to Yihong Courtyard."
Mother Jia was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then sat back in a slump.
If it was really high school, with Jia Baoyu's hilarious temperament, how could he go to Yihong Court in a sullen manner
