Jiayu Village of Red Mansions

.

Hearing this, Shui Zhan put down the memorial in his hand sadly, and said, "Let Shui Rong go over and have a look!"

"What's the matter? What happened?" Yucun came in from the outside at this time and asked when he saw Shui Zhan's expression changed.

"The Qin family of the Jia family in Ningguo Mansion went last night." Sighing, Shui Zhan said, "This is the last blood of the second brother..."

Although the aborted prince was once framed by Yucun, he is Shui Zhan's brother after all. Seeing that the abolished prince has no descendants, Shui Zhan feels sad for the abolished prince.

I don't know if it's God's will or some other reason. Since the death of the abolished prince, the concubine was buried, and the abolished prince's son and daughter died one after another. Grandson's daughter-in-law Qin, the fact that Qin is the illegitimate daughter of the deposed prince is almost an open secret among the senior officials of the royal family in the capital.

Yucun couldn't help but feel sad when he heard the words, secretly trying to trick others.

"What else do you want to say?" Shui Zhan asked, looking at Su Peisheng who was hesitant beside him.

"This... the Ningguo Mansion held a grand funeral for the Qin family. It was extravagant and invited [-] monks to chant sutras in the mansion. It also made the wooden coffin seem to have violated the funeral ceremony system. I don't know what His Majesty will do about it!" Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment.

"What did the Supreme Emperor say?" Yucun asked Su Peisheng.

"If you go back to the prince, the Supreme Emperor asked Dai Quan, the in-charge of the palace, to deliver the sacrificial ceremony, and filled Jia Rong's vacancy as a Captain Long." Su Peisheng said, the Supreme Emperor still has deep feelings for the abolished prince, but because of the With the face of the royal family, you can't blatantly say "The Qin family is my granddaughter, and I sent someone to see her off!", so I only sent her in Dai Quan's own name.

Yucun nodded, knowing that the Supreme Emperor wanted the last heir of the deposed prince to have a good time at the funeral.

"You go to deliver the decree to Shui Rong, and tell him to hold a road sacrifice during the funeral. Don't be too ostentatious, just follow the five-grade pleasant etiquette!" Shui Zhan told Su Peisheng after hearing the words.

Waiting for seven to seven forty-nine days to be dead, on the night of the night of companionship, on the day of the Qin family's funeral, all kinds of deacons in the Ningguo mansion set up a variety of displays, and they were so vast that they were three or four miles away. Counting the number of pieces, the scene was so grand that passers-by just thought that some prince and grandson died, and said that it was just the funeral of the grandson's daughter-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion, and they all shook their heads and sighed.

It is said that Shui Rong entered the court at five o'clock. As soon as he left the court, he changed into plain clothes. When he arrived at the gate of Ningguo Mansion, he saw a huge funeral in Ningguo Mansion, coming from the north like a mountain of silver.After all, Shui Rong came up to worship on behalf of the saint. Although he didn't say anything clearly, Shui Rong still followed the honor guard of the county king, sitting in a sedan chair, singing gongs and opening umbrellas all the way.

In the Ningguo Mansion, someone who opened the way told Jia Zhen about Shui Rong's coming to worship. When Jia Zhen heard that Shui Rong had come, she quickly called the two elders of the Jia family, Jia Zheng and Jia She to greet her. , this serious prince and county king might take that seat in the future!The three members of Jia's family visited Shui Rong with the national ceremony, and Shui Rong only bowed in the sedan chair, and smiled in return.

Jia Zhendao: "The mourning of the dog woman, Leimeng county is here, how dare the shady generation!"

Shui Rong only smiled but did not answer, and asked again: "Which one was born with the jade? I have never seen it before. I must be here today. Why don't you come?"

When Jia Zheng heard that the prince knew that his son was a disappointment, he still felt honored in his heart, so he withdrew quickly, ordered Baoyu to change his clothes, and brought him to have an audience with him.

It is said that Baoyu followed his father timidly and timidly, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sitting in the eight-carried sedan chair, wearing a pure white hairpin and silver-winged king hat, and wearing a Jiangya seawater five-clawed dragon white python robe , the face is like a crown jade, the eyes are like a star, what a beautiful person!

"Ah! My lord, we have met before!" Baoyu suddenly called out to Shui Rong.

Baoyu was ignorant at home on weekdays, and it was fine to play around in town, but now he dared to be disrespectful in front of the King of Beijing, Jia Zheng immediately scolded Baoyu, and quickly apologized to Shui Rong.

Shui Rong smiled and waved his hands when he heard the words: "Lord Jia, don't blame your son, but Xiao Wang and your son have met before!"

Jia Zheng was very surprised when he heard the words, and asked Shui Rong where he had seen him. Shui Rong explained: "On that day, the little king was ordered by his father to go to Chongfu Temple to send a birthday gift to Uncle An, who was a monk in the temple at that time. I met your son at Uncle An Huangshu during the congratulatory ceremony, but Uncle Anhuang has always praised your son very much, Dao is a man of wisdom!"

Jia Zheng heard that although he didn't know when Baoyu met Prince An, he could only ask after King Beijing left, and said with a smile: "How dare the dog misunderstand Chunming Buddha Jin Zan, he is just an ignorant child! "

Shui Rong saw that Baoyu's face was like spring flowers, his eyes were like lacquer, and his appearance was like treasure and jade. He secretly thought that he was a beautiful person when he saw him in Chongfu Temple. Now that he saw him, he seemed to be three points brighter again, and he became interested for a while. So he asked where the treasure he was holding was. When Baoyu asked, he quickly took the jade out of his clothes and handed it to Shui Rong.

Shui Rong took the jade, it still carried the residual warmth of her body faintly, and there was a faint peculiar fragrance in the pen, which made Shui Rong feel in a daze for a moment, thinking that the father is sitting in the harem with three thousand beauties , and support each other like Uncle An, the piano and the harp, if he also has a confidant like his father and Uncle An, wouldn't it be a good talk for a while?Although this Jia Baoyu does not have the ability and talent of Uncle An, his appearance is not bad!

No.40 eight times

Last time I said that Shui Rong had the idea of ​​making a confidant with Jia Baoyu, and because Baoyu just released the precious jade from the womb just now, the neckline was slightly open at this time, and a piece of white flesh was just like this. Shui Rong dangled in front of Shui Rong, Shui Rong saw it, only felt that the body of the wife and concubine in a trance was more attractive than the body of the wife and concubine at home, her eyes flickered slightly, Shui Rong smiled and said: "The reputation is well-deserved, it is really like a 'treasure' and a 'jade'!"

After finishing speaking, she straightened out the colorful silk sash tied on the precious jade, and put it on with Baoyu herself. Shui Rong deliberately brushed Baoyu's neck, and brushed her cool fingers on the sensitive part. There was a jolt.Satisfied with the effect brought about by her actions, Shui Rong grabbed Baoyu's hand again and said, "What book are you reading now?"

Because of Baoyu's good looks, he was used to being held and touched by all kinds of elders since he was a child, but he didn't think it was a big deal. He just thought that the King of Jingjing was kind and didn't have a trace of princely airs. He was also happy in his heart. Just after reading "The Romance of the West Chamber" with Sister Lin, he turned around and saw his father Jia Zheng staring at him warningly, so he couldn't match his words and said, "I just read "The Great Learning."

Seeing the unhappy look on Baoyu's face, Shui Rong also knew that what he said was not the truth, so she stopped thinking about questioning Baoyu's knowledge, and only talked with Baoyu for a while about trivial matters in life. After a long time, I suddenly noticed that Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty were still standing with the elders. I changed my mind and said to Jia Zheng: "My son is really a dragon, a horse, and a phoenix. Without a good teacher, if Mr. Jia suffers from having no good teacher to teach, you might as well go to the cold house often. Although Xiao Wang is not talented, he is favored by many famous people in the country. You can advance day by day!"

That Jia Zheng used to be a hard-educated student, and he wished that Baoyu would study hard so that he would be able to glorify his ancestors when he came back from the examinations. Now that he heard Shui Rong say that, he was naturally very happy in his heart, and he quickly bowed down to answer.

After Shui Zhan finished speaking, seeing more and more mourners on the street, he didn't stay in Ningguo Mansion any longer, and took off a string of rosary beads on his wrist. He also often wears some Buddhist ornaments on his body, hoping to impress the emperor with them. The string of Shui Zhan was bestowed by Shui Zhan, and when he picked up Jia Baoyu's hand, he felt that there was no coldness of ordinary men in his hands. , on the contrary soft as if boneless, very smooth, felt a sense of ecstasy in his heart, and said to Jia Baoyu:

"Today's first meeting, there is nothing to congratulate in a hurry, this is a string of red sandalwood beads bestowed by the Holy Majesty, it should be a gift of congratulations!"

Jia Baoyu took the rosary, heard that it was a gift from the sage, subconsciously pulled back his hand, Shui Rong just let him pull back, the prey must be played slowly to be interesting, isn't it?He turned around and said goodbye to Jia Zhen and others and left.

It is said that over there, Wang Shuirong of Beijing Jing was busy molesting Baoyu, but here in the Forbidden City, it was a different scene.

"Ahem——" There seemed to be thousands of ants in his chest and lungs, and his throat was so itchy that Yucun finally couldn't help coughing suppressedly.

"Yucun, what's the matter? But did you catch a cold?" Shui Zhan heard Yucun coughing, not like the sound of choking water, got up from behind the case, walked to Yucun and asked.

Having said that, I have to grab Yucun's wrist for a medical examination. In the early years, Shui Zhan also learned a little because of the emperor's practice of medicine. No is still possible.

Yucun slipped his wrist from Shui Zhan's fingers indiscriminately, and said, "It's okay, it's just some old disease, the weather has changed these days, and something has gone wrong."

"Be obedient!" Seeing Yucun's wrist slipping away from his fingers, Shui Zhan couldn't help but frowned and reprimanded, and he couldn't refuse to hold Yucun's wrist again, saying, "How can you still avoid medical treatment like a child!"

Yucun laughed lightly when he heard the words, and said, "Where is it as serious as you said!"

He said again: "How? But you make a fuss out of a molehill?"

"Some wind and cold are entering the body, and the qi and blood are not smooth. I'd like to see the doctor Xuan!" Shui Zhan frowned and said, when Yucun beat Galdan in the northwest a few years ago, did he leave some roots of the disease? Repeatedly toss.

"You don't need to bother, just order the imperial dining room to make a bowl of ginger soup to drink!" Yucun thought of those things.
