A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

The New Year is approaching soon, and Yuanchun's fate should be decided at this time. Daiyu and Lin Ping'an temporarily return to the palace to accompany the emperor and the empress, and the people in the mansion suddenly relax a lot.

Mrs. Wang took advantage of this slackness and brought her sisters, nephews and nieces to come, and even used the people of the Jia family to pick up the nephew to clean up the mess. Unfortunately, Wang Xifeng found out. (Baochai came early)

"We must not interfere in Xue Pan's matter no matter what. It would be best if the old lady could find out herself." Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian discussed letting Grandmother Jia handle the matter.

Naturally, Grandmother Jia soon discovered what was happening with Xue Pan. Looking at Xiangling who was following him, Grandmother Jia hardened her heart and ordered people to tie up Xue Pan and send him to the government. Now Mrs. Wang was completely panicked.

She hurriedly wrote a letter to the palace, asking Yuanchun to leave the palace as soon as possible, and preferably marry a powerful royal family member. Even if she was a concubine, he had to help her mother no matter what. Yuanchun was heartbroken.

Just when Yuanchun was hiding and crying secretly, she met the eldest prince Honghui. At this time, Honghui was devoted to cultivation and didn't want to take care of state affairs at all. In order to avoid the emperor's preaching, he ran to a remote place, and unexpectedly met Yuanchun.

"This servant pays respects to the eldest prince."

"No need to be polite"

"I didn't know that the eldest prince was coming. I disturbed him. I am guilty." Yuanchun knelt on the ground and apologized. She felt indifferent. She didn't want to stay in this palace with strict hierarchy, but her mother wanted her to stay. (The daughter of a marquis entered the palace as a female official. I think it was just a maid. At most, she had an official position. So I think it was quite miserable. Of course, this is just my perception.)

(And if it is substituted into the Qing Dynasty, it will be even more complicated. The grand election is to select women from the royal family, and the minor election is to select palace maids. Jia Yuanchun definitely does not meet the requirements, so I will not describe this matter in detail.)

"It's okay, you can go down." Honghui had no intention of making things difficult for a female official, especially since she was from his own royal mother's palace, so he would never do that. Yuanchun then quickly withdrew.

Yuanchun returned to her room and then remembered to write back to her mother. The solution she proposed was to let Baochai enter the palace as well, so that Xue Pan could be saved.

After Mrs. Wang and her sister discussed it, they agreed. Baochai didn't even have time to know about this. Fortunately, because of her young age, Baochai failed. Only then did Baochai know what had happened.

"I know that my mother has always loved my brother, but am I no longer your child? In order to save my brother, you are going to push me into the fire pit."

"Be careful with your words!" Mrs. Wang quickly covered Xue Baochai's mouth and said, "How dare you say that? Do you want to die? That's the Forbidden City. What do you think it is? A hell of a place!"

Baochai knew she had said something wrong and didn't say anything more. However, Mrs. Wang had another idea, which was to let Baochai marry Baoyu. Baochai listened to her mother and aunt's discussion and laughed at herself.

No matter what happened to the Jia family, the New Year's Day arrived as scheduled. The retired emperor did not come back, but he sent many rewards. The retired empress did come in a hurry and when she saw Daiyu, she thought of finding two study companions for Daiyu.

"First, I can help Yu'er study, and second, I can be Yu'er's playmate, so that Yu'er won't be alone all the time."

Lin Pingan: So? Am I not a human?

But as soon as the Empress Dowager proposed it, Lin Daiyu declined: "The Empress Dowager also knows that Yu'er has to stay in Rongguo Mansion for a few years for various reasons. If she were an ordinary woman, I'm afraid she would be dragged down."

"But you are really lonely, why not pick a few from the Jia family, have the maids teach them and send them to your courtyard to accompany you."

"I'll listen to the Empress Dowager." Daiyu was very well-behaved.

As she was only looking for a study companion for Daiyu within the Jia Mansion, the Empress Dowager specially summoned Lady Jia and entrusted the matter to her, thinking that she could select a few suitable women from the Jia Mansion anyway.

After receiving the order, Jia's mother went back to do the work immediately. After choosing and selecting, she set her eyes on the two maids, Tanchun and Xichun, who were just the right age and had good personalities. After reporting the candidates to the Empress Dowager, she was quite satisfied. The only thing she thought was that there were still too few of them.

Grandmother Jia thought of Yingchun and tentatively said Yingchun's name: "In fact, I have a granddaughter at home, named Yingchun, but this child is timid and I am afraid she will lead the princess astray."

"It's okay. Yu'er has many maids around her. She can ask them to teach her a lesson if she's timid." The Empress Dowager didn't care about these things. She just seemed to be afraid that Daiyu would be lonely, so she found some playmates for her.

To put it nicely, it's called a playmate, but in fact it's just a toy to make Daiyu happy. It doesn't matter what kind of personality it has, as long as it can make Daiyu happy.

Grandmother Jia also gradually figured out the Empress Dowager's thoughts. She had originally thought of taking the child from her mother's side, but now she thinks it's better not to do so. The child has no sense of propriety and it would be bad if he angered Daiyu. On the other hand, Wang Fu-ren's niece Baochai is a good choice.

After hearing Lady Jia's arrangement, the Empress Dowager also thought it was a good idea. Compared with the other girls, Baochai had a lower status and would definitely not be afraid that Daiyu would be wronged.

Besides, the other three were children of the Jia family, and they were afraid that Daiyu would be embarrassed by Grandmother Jia and the others. But Baochai was different. She was a well-known figure, and she certainly didn't dare to offend Daiyu. (I like Baochai very much, but in front of the royal family, Baochai really means nothing)

This time, Jia's grandmother had arranged a study companion for Daiyu, and returned home with the imperial edict from the Empress Dowager. Baochai didn't expect that she would have her own things to do here, but compared to being implicated by her brother, this was really a better place to go.

Baochai knew that being the princess's tutor was a nice way of saying it. In reality, she was just serving the princess in the capacity of a tutor. However, with this title, outsiders would respect her a little more, and she could also choose a better husband when she got married in the future.

Daiyu was not a naughty child who was hated by everyone. Among her study companions, the three were originally her sisters, and she did not make things difficult for Baochai. On weekdays, apart from taking them out to socialize, she would just play at home. The rest of the time she would work hard on her cultivation.

There was no tutor arranged for Lin Ping'an. Generally speaking, the tutors for the princes would be their helpers when they grow up, and even help them in the fight for the throne. However, Lin Ping'an was only the adopted son of the retired emperor and did not need these.

It was not a big deal to have no study companion, it just wasn't as lively as it was with Daiyu. But Daiyu was always afraid that Lin Ping'an would be lonely, so she always brought Lin Ping'an with her to every gathering. But if she brought Lin Ping'an with her, it would be embarrassing to leave Jia Baoyu behind on Eve.
