Jia Yuanchun's consecration is a great joy in the dream of the Red Chamber, and for Jia Fu, it is also a windfall for Guangzong Yaozu and a supreme glory.
If we read some details before Yuan Chun was crowned concubine, we will find that when the people of Jia Province did not know the news of Yuan Chun's concubine, in the face of the eunuchs who suddenly came to Jia Province to pass on their wishes, all the people in Jia Province, including Jia Mu, were panicked.
So the question is, before Yuan Chun was crowned a concubine, when he saw the eunuch come to the door to pass on the message, why was the people in Jia Fu afraid?
In fact, let's take a step back and say, even if it is not a concubine of Yuan Chun, with a palace like the Gate of the Gongfu, there are eunuchs in the palace who come to the door and declare their wills to see each other, it should be a common thing, why are the people of Jia Fu very nervous?
Here reflects several key issues, first, Jia Fu from the second duke of Ning Rong to Jia Baoyu's generation, has gone through four generations, nearly a hundred years of outstanding glory, at this time Jia Fu is actually "although the outer shelf has not fallen, the inner bag has also been exhausted." It is precisely when Leng Zixing said, "A hundred-footed insect, dead but not stiff."
That is to say, Jia Fu has already gone downhill, and in the past, there may have often been eunuchs to proclaim their wills, or even happy events, and such things as the eunuchs of the Six Palaces who personally came to the door to declare their will may never have been encountered. Therefore, in the face of the sudden eunuch, Jia Fu did not expect it at all, and could not help but be a little flustered.
If it is said that at this time, jia fu is still in the sky, and there are eunuchs visiting, it should be a common thing, and it will not cause too much attention and suspicion. At this time, the Jia Province had already fallen, and even the strength of the DPRK was weak, not to mention happy events, and no misfortune had already burned high incense.
The eunuchs in the palace went to the Gonggong Mansion to declare their will, according to normal procedures, someone should inform in advance, so as to be ready to receive the will, but here is a surprise attack, Jia Fu is giving the political lord a birthday, the eunuch suddenly came, who is not afraid?
Moreover, the eunuchs who came were not unknown pawns, but eunuchs of the six palaces of high rank, who belonged to the leaders who managed the emperor's harem, and when the Jia Pardon Jia Zheng brothers listened, they were not lightly frightened at that time, and they may instinctively think that disaster is coming.
The second key question, the eunuch who came to proclaim the will, although he was smiling and announcing the entry of Jia Zheng into the Dynasty, did not say anything specifically, and after the declaration of the will, the eunuch did not even eat tea and left, such a momentum could not help but be thought about.
If it is a happy event, according to common sense, the declaration of the will becomes a beautiful difference, this eunuch not only will not hide, but also should say that the joy is begging for money, why is it just a declaration of the will, and the other words are not mentioned? It seems that there are many fierce and few auspicious.
Another point, rongguo mansion attacked the lord is the grand master Jia pardon, the second old master Jia Zheng's official is only the emperor's extra reward, that is, to declare the will to enter the palace to see his majesty, should also be the first-class general Jia pardon, ah, why is it the propaganda department member Wailang Jia Zheng? What kind of medicine is sold in this emperor gourd?
It was also because the eunuchs came and went in a hurry, without leaving any clear information, which led to the uneasiness of Jia Mu and others, not knowing what was happening, lest there be unexpected disasters, so they kept making people fly back and forth to report letters.
If something really happens to Jia Fu, what big thing can happen? For Jia Fu, who is in the position of "today's children and grandchildren, one generation is not as good as a generation", the biggest disaster is to be questioned by the family.
Is it possible? Of course. Otherwise, why was Jia Fu so sensitive to things in the palace? Even a noblewoman like Jia Mu, who was full of wisdom and great winds and waves, suddenly became six gods and no masters in the face of the eunuchs in the palace, and her expression was panicked, she was afraid.
There is a saying in the original text that "Jia Yu and others do not know what the omen is." This sentence writes out the reason why the people in Jia Fu are afraid, the eunuch declared that he did not say happy things and bad things, the people of Jia Fu could not feel their heads, their hearts were bottomless, they were not nervous and not afraid to be strange, and the companions were like accompanying the tiger, not to mention that at this time, Jia Fu had already been worried about internal and external troubles and was not optimistic, who dared to think about this matter to the happy event?
The reaction of the people of Jia Fu also explains another problem, the matter of Yuan Chun sealing concubines is very sudden, and the people who suddenly arrived in Jia Fu did not expect that miss Jia Fu, who had been in the palace for many years, still won the glory for the family in the end, and did not enter the palace in vain.
Generally, the promotion of harem women will be promoted one level at a time, such as from promising chang zai to talented nobles to concubines, and Yuan Chun seems to have skipped this stage, Leng Zixing said that Rong Guofu once, and also said that she entered the palace to do female history, and then when there was news, she was suddenly promoted to Fengzao Palace Shangshu and crowned Xiande Concubine.
Such a speed of promotion is inevitably suspicious, and it is estimated that the people of Jia Fu did not expect that Yuan Chun would be crowned a concubine. For Jia Fu at this time, no misfortune is already the best result, who dares to expect that there will be happy events?
The eunuch who proclaimed the decree did not say anything, so there was a commotion in the Jia Mansion, and everyone was panicked and uneasy, living like a year in an anxious wait, afraid of bad news coming from the palace. In fact, the eunuch could not be blamed for this, perhaps he was just as unaware of it at the time, but was only responsible for passing on the will. After all, before the harem woman is officially canonized, the information should belong to the category of top secret.
Of course, in fact, the reaction brought by this incident to the people of Jia Fu can also be seen as a rehearsal of Jia Fu's future raids, and at that time, the pardon is announced to the palace, and Jia Fu is no longer a happy event, but a real family raid disaster.
