[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

As a mother, Sister Feng's real aunt, the soft-hearted Aunt Xue really wanted to help Sister Feng find the child back.Xue Pan also sincerely led his soldiers to call friends and friends to help without asking for anything in return.

What the Xue family's mother and son did and thought, Zhou Yun knew everything.So Zhou Yun didn't feel guilty when he took advantage of the Xue family's trust in him.But Zhou Yun still insisted on not returning the child.

Children are innocent, but aren't the dead innocent?Why do you, Wang Xifeng, not need to pay the price.

Going up the mountain today, in addition to sending a sum of gold, silver and rice, Zhou Yun also sent two milk sheep to the mountain.After getting the abbot's words, Zhou Yun also left a ten-year agreement and decided to temporarily seal the matter.

It was night, Zhou Yun had a dream all night, in the dream there was brother Jin and that child, and even a youthful and vigorous self.

In the early morning, after rubbing his face, Zhou Yun was that calm and intelligent Mr. Chen again.

Counting the time, he first went to see the big housekeeper, took letters from his parents and family members from the big housekeeper, and listened to the situation in Shanhaiguan described by Xue's servant who went to Shanhaiguan to give the boxing gift.

Although there are some bandits, they are nothing to worry about.

Zhou Yun's parents also expressed concern about Zhou Yun's marriage in the letter, hoping that Zhou Yun could do some 'business'.

For example, get married and have children, and carry on the family line.

After reading the letter at a glance, Zhou Yun talked with the housekeeper for a while, guessing that Aunt Xue had already had breakfast at Aunt Xue's place, so she went to see Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue treated Zhou Yun very well, although not as good as Xue Pan Zuoxi, she was as kind and charitable as she treated her nephew.Seeing Zhou Yun now, what was mentioned was also Zhou Yun's marriage.

Ever since he stayed at Xue Pan's house, Zhou Yun's food and clothing expenses were almost the same as Xue Pan's. Originally, he had a monthly salary. Later, after Xue Pan became an errand, although Zuo Xi didn't ask anyone to raise Zhou Yun's salary, he did. He bought property for Zhou Yun.

A two-entry small courtyard with street-facing pavement in Beijing, and two hundred acres of high-quality fertile land outside Beijing.

Today's Zhou Yun is also a person with a house and a land. When looking at marriage, although he can't have an official position and rich family background like Xue Pan and Xue Bian, he can still marry a house and have a good marriage.What's worth mentioning is the attitude of the three members of Xue's family towards Zhou Yun. When Zhou Yun gets married, he doesn't have to go out for the betrothal gift, and there will be heavy gifts.

It's just that Zhou Yun has no intention of getting married at this time, first he thanked Aunt Xue for her kindness, and then declined Aunt Xue's kindness for him and Xue Biao to meet together.

After repeated refusals and the excuse that Zuo Xi wanted to see him, Zhou Yun escaped smoothly.

For a while, he rode to the other courtyard, and heard that Zuo Xi wanted to see Zhou Yun. The guards of the other courtyard did not stop Zhou Yun, and sent Zhou Yun to a small and elegant small open hall all the way.

The open hall is composed of three open rooms, with doors at the front and back, and all tables and chairs in the room.Zhou Yun entered the open hall from the direction close to the gate of the other courtyard, and Zuo Xi got the news and entered through the door inside.

Although no one mentioned it explicitly, they all used it as the dividing line between the inner and outer courts.When the male guest arrives here, he stops here.

After meeting each other, Zuo Xi told Zhou Yun about calling him here.

It's not something else, but Zhou Yun's future.

Zuo Xi heard that there was a vacancy for a county magistrate of the eighth rank in Hongyun Town. She wanted to spend some money to buy Zhou Yun a fifth rank Tongzhi background, and then go to the Ministry of Officials to check it out. The one she bought has no real power. The five-rank Tongzhi is exchanged for the eighth-rank county magistrate.

"...I have inquired that the county magistrate is getting old, and he will return to his hometown when his term expires. Originally, the previous county magistrate was in charge of all matters in the county. There was another accident on the same day. Let’s enroll as a scholar in this county first, and wait until next year to carry out activities. Even if there is an accident, we can still think of a way, and we can always go further.” Anyway, we squeezed in. Just climb up little by little.

Zhou Yun didn't expect that Zuo Xi asked him to come over to talk about this matter, just when he was about to refuse, he heard Zuo Xi talking about marriage again with a smile.

Only when you have a good job can you marry a good wife.

Confused by Zuo Xi's words, Zhou Yun had no intention of getting married. Although he was a little moved by the county magistrate, he finally rejected Zuo Xi's proposal.

The Xue family treated each other sincerely, and Zhou Yun also returned the sincerity.Thank Zuo Xi for his kindness, and mention Xue Pan again.Xue Pan's heart is simple and simple, although the environment in the army is simple, it is hard to guard against backstabbing in the end, so it is really difficult for him not to follow.Then he smiled and said to Zuo Xi that he could wait for Xue Pan to be promoted before becoming Xue Pan's subordinate official.

When the military attache reaches a certain level, he can have civilian subordinates around him.

". How long will you have to wait? The master will lead you in, and everyone will practice. You can't delay your future just because of my brother." Zuo Xi glanced at Zhou Yun's right hand, "You can write very well with your left hand now. It has a strong character, and those who don't know it must not think that it was written by the left hand."

Zhou Yun is still young, and he is working hard to practice calligraphy.On the one hand, Zuo Xi felt that he shouldn't be buried here, and on the other hand, he also wanted to get together and get away, so as not to keep others for his own selfishness and leave enmity.Therefore, after hearing the news about the county magistrate, Zuo Xi wanted to tell Zhou Yun and try his best to help out.

Zuo Xi believed that Zhou Yun would never become the second Jia Yucun.

If it is called Zhou Yun's imperial examination, writing with his left hand is a shortcoming. It is easy to say before, but he will definitely not pass the palace examination.But it's not impossible to be an official if you change your mind.

Spending money to buy officials is already the norm. It is really not easy to buy people of the same rank, but it is not difficult to downgrade, especially the operation of downgrading several ranks.

In the Qing Dynasty, only third-rank officials and above were eligible to go to the early court, and even if they entered the early court, they would not have many opportunities to write in front of everyone.

Another one, there are so many officials in the world, and how many of them can successfully climb to the position of third-rank official?Since he couldn't climb up, writing with his left hand or his right hand didn't actually delay Zhou Yun's career as a scholar.

Another thing is that Zhou Yun is extremely capable. After these two years of contact, Zuo Xi does not believe that Zhou Yun can't be the county magistrate.Even those who pass the serious imperial examinations will not become officials after passing the examinations. Don't they have to fumble bit by bit in learning and practice?

The county magistrate is the deputy of the county magistrate, starting from the county magistrate, learning how to be an official while being an official, and climbing up bit by bit, in Zuo Xi's opinion, it is the most suitable for Zhou Yun.

But although she thinks this arrangement is excellent, she will not make her own decisions, she will seek Zhou Yun's opinion and respect other people's decisions.

Zhou Yun also knew that this arrangement was well-intentioned, and also knew that after Zuo Xi proposed, as long as he nodded, he didn't need to do anything, just wait for the official document.But Zhou Yun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."

"Come on."

Zhou Yun was also in the capital yesterday, so he heard the news that Jia's family had divided Jia Zheng's house.Just thinking of those rumors about Jia Baoyu, Zhou Yun couldn't help thinking of Zuo Xi.Looking up at Cheng Jin and the two who followed Zuo Xi into the open hall, Zhou Yun was afraid that Zuo Xi would be like her brother, so when he asked, she would accept, so he suppressed the urge to know the truth, and simply said It's a matter of going back to Jia's house.

There are some things I really want to know, and I am not in a hurry.What's more, there are some things that you don't have to know.

"Master Jing from Ningguo Mansion is gone. My wife hasn't heard the news yet, so I think it will come soon. My wife has ordered me to cut off contact with Jia's family. I am afraid that if I hear such news, I won't call him." People sent the sacrificial ceremony to the past.” If you don’t send things, people won’t arrive.

"Jia Jing is gone?" Zuo Xi cried out in surprise when he heard the words, and found that the person who inquired about the news yesterday did not mention Jia Jing.Then it took a while to think that it was indeed the concubine's death, and Jia Jing killed himself with medicine not long after.

It can be seen that even if there is some discrepancy in time, the serious business will not be delayed.

National filial piety and family filial piety are double filial piety, so Jia Lian stopped marrying another wife. Does this mean that the mother's family who is the son of Feng Sister are all dead?

Not so bullying.

Thinking of Sister Feng who had just lost her son and encountered such a disgusting thing, Zuo Xi felt sorry for her.

Squinting his eyes, Zuo Xi decided to return Sister Feng's favor.

You can't ask Sister Feng to carry that pot for nothing.

"It's a good thing for our family not to associate with such a family. It's just that at this juncture, outsiders may say that our family seeks good luck and avoids disaster, or has the eyes of power. Girl Qin’s marriage is not worth the loss. Forget it, it’s just a matter of a few taels of silver. You don’t need to inform your brother to go there specially, just ask Tiao’er to represent our family. If you need to build a shed to sacrifice or something later, it’s also according to the rules Just get one. By the way, tell Tiao’er that that family is all bad embryos, don’t bother anyone who says anything, and don’t get in touch with them.” You can’t let bad kids from other people’s families spoil your own good students .

Zhou Yun nodded, "That's what I mean too." The reason why he didn't say it was to consider Zuo Xi's mood.

After saying some more words, Zhou Yun took his leave and left.

After seeing Zhou Yun off, Zuo Xi led the people back.Before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Eleven standing under a tree beside the gate.As for Eleven's expression. It's too far away, Zuo Xi really can't see clearly.But presumably it was either a gentle smile on her normal face, or a tea talk tea talk emoticon package and Zuo Xi looked at the sky with a shiver, silently counted the time when she would come out, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She probably won't see the lotus bloom~~~

Zuo Xi doesn't wear contact lenses very much recently.

First, the environment is safe.Secondly, the inventory is insufficient, so if you don’t use it sparingly, you are afraid that it will run out, and you will wait for something urgent in the future.

Walking three steps away from Eleven, he looked at Eleven calmly, Zuo Xi smiled and asked him, "Why did you come out?"

Very good, people are normal.

"Seeing that you've been away for a long time, I came out to welcome you." Eleven gently replied to Zuo Xi, and then said: "I heard from Tian Guo that the two-color roses in the other courtyard are in full bloom. You can accompany me to have a look." good?"

"Yeah." Zuo Xi also felt that Eleven should walk around more, and after nodding in response, he smiled and discussed with Eleven that he would use the lunch in the rose garden over there.

"It's up to you." Eleven had no objection, walking towards that direction with Zuo Xi with one hand in front and the other behind.

Not to mention the lack of excessive intimacy, but also kept a little distance from Zuo Xi.

"In a few days, I want to go back to the city. I'm too late, so I won't be back at night."

"What are you going to do? Do you need me to send Tian Guo to follow you?" Send Tian Guo to follow Zuo Xi to show Zuo Xi's identity and not to offend her.Secondly, when things couldn't be resolved, Tian Guo asked Tian Guo to go to his fifth and ninth brothers under his banner.

"It's not a big deal, it's been a long time since I saw Lin girl, and I'm going to take Miaoyu to see her." After a pause, Zuo Xi asked Eleven again, is Miaoyu not returning to vulgarity?

Eleven saw that Zuo Xi was changing the subject, so he didn't ask any more questions.Anyway, if he wanted to know, he just had to wait. "That girl has a very lonely temper. When I picked her up originally, I thought I'd ask someone to teach her some things first. After two years, I'd ask Fifth Brother to adopt her as a foster daughter. Then it would be fine to find a good marriage. With a few of our elders staring at her, she can always make her life go smoothly. She doesn't want to be picked up by others, but her temper is really unflattering. She was angry once, and she couldn't care about anything with her, so she let her go .”

Guo Gui's four princesses, eleven and five ninety-two elder brothers are half-brothers and sisters.Miaoyu's father is half-brother and sister.And Guo Guiren and Concubine Yi are biological sisters, so the son she gave birth to earlier is also a cousin of the fifth master and ninth master, and an aunt cousin with Feng Ziying.So with these relatives around, as long as there is one person who cares about Miaoyu's affairs, Miaoyu's life in her husband's house will not be too sad.

It's just that Zuo Xi thought about Miaoyu's temperament for a while, and then thought about what she could say, and patted Eleven on the shoulder sympathetically.

Baby, you are wronged.

"I think Miaoyu must have some resentment in her heart. She returned to her relatives after suffering a lot of crimes, and she inevitably loses her temper. As for whether she wants to return to vulgarity or not," Zuo Xi thinks Miaoyu is thinking, However, those daughters' concerns are probably not easy to tell such an uncle who is more beautiful than her and about the same age as her.

Maybe I'm even more annoyed now.

Zuo Xi snickered, suddenly felt that throwing Miaoyu to Daiyu and letting them fall in love and kill each other should spark some sparks.

She and Daiyu come and go to and from each other every day, writing poems and arguing, and it's time to see each other.

"I've decided to take her down the mountain tomorrow, and sell her if she doesn't obey."

"That's good to catch up with the situation. We'll get money later, let's go buy delicious food." Eleven knew that Zuo Xi was joking, so he followed Zuo Xi's words, without any sense of being a real uncle.

They didn't dare to walk fast, and they were just strolling around, and they were not in a hurry, so it took them a fairly short time to get to the rose garden.

A pot doesn't look that shocking, but a single rose with two colors is amazing.Zuo Xi looked at it, and couldn't help but want to take out his phone and take random pictures.Seeing that Zuo Xi liked it on the eleventh day, he said that he would draw it later and look at it later.

Speaking of which, two-color roses are specially cultivated by gardeners. It is not a single flower with two colors, but a potted flower with two colors of pure roses on one flower.

In fact, from the perspective of outsiders called Zuo Xi, it is a grafting technique.

After strolling around, it happened to be lunch time, so Zuo Xi and Eleven went into the Xiaoxuan Pavilion named Rose Garden to have lunch.

Lunch is still a very delicate meal, and the taste is also Zuo Xi's favorite.In addition to exquisite meals, Zuo Xi's opinion will also be referred to, and some farm meals will be served to them in a more refined way.

Now at noon, the kitchen made two bowls of sauce, one bowl of egg sauce, and one bowl of diced meat sauce, and baked some very thin and small cakes and sent them over.

Meat sauce, shredded green onion, shredded cucumber, plus a chopstick of bean sprouts and potato shreds, rolled with pancakes, not to mention how delicious it is.

Zuo Xi rolled one by himself, and after taking a bite, he saw the palace lady Shi Shi waved back, looked at her eagerly, bit his back molars, put down the burrito and rolled another one for Shi Shi.

When I eat with Zuo Xi on eleventh, sometimes I will take care of Zuo Xi gently, but sometimes I will do a little work like now and let Zuo Xi take care of him.

Eating with Zuo Xi, every meal on the [-]th was extremely delicious, and his appetite was also very good.Although the person is still the same person, he is slightly fatter than before.

Zuo Xi and the others saw Shi Shi every day, but they couldn't tell, like Master Wu and Master Jiu, who spared time to come here every now and then, they could tell right away.

There is flesh on the face, and the complexion is stronger than before.

Eleven only said that it was the effect of soaking in hot springs, and refused to tell anyone that Zuo Xi was responsible for it.It was like leaving the courtyard where they lived and keeping a distance from Zuo Xi all the time.

Zuo Xi vaguely understood why Eleven did this, and felt a little soft, but still didn't want to make a compromise.

……

After another half a month, Zuo Xi asked someone to hitch up the carriage, dragged the awkward Miaoyu into the carriage, and headed all the way to the capital.

After entering the capital, the group went directly to Lin's house.

Daiyu got the news a long time ago. Hearing that Zuo Xi had arrived, she hurriedly took someone to pick her up.

Seeing Daiyu, Zuo Xi still stepped forward to hug Daiyu as before, and kissed Daiyu, just like reuniting with a good friend in modern times.

Miaoyu was a little envious in her heart, but she still showed a look of contempt and disdain on her face.

"This is Miaoyu, I met you in that garden before, do you remember?" After making out with Daiyu, Zuo Xi pulled Miaoyu aside and introduced to Daiyu grandly: "You write Those poems are so dry. It costs money to ask others to be a shooter, but she doesn't use them. I thought I didn't need to use them for nothing, and I have been using them until now. I came to the city to do business, so I called her and let you meet , It also saves you from looking around every day, the swan geese are teasing, and the horse's legs make you two lose weight from walking around."

Daiyu: "..." People in charge?

Miaoyu: "..." Are you speaking human words?

Zuo Xi didn't care about the stuck-in-the-throat expressions of the two, and dragged Daiyu and Miaoyu to Lin Ruhai's yard.

In any case, when you come to the Lin family, you have to pay a visit to the elders.

Although this elder is not a woman.

→_→

After seeing Lin Ruhai, after a few friendly greetings, Daiyu took Zuo Xi and Miaoyu to her yard.Daiyu had already prepared tea and snacks, and when the three of them talked to each other, it was Zuo Xi and Daiyu who were talking, while Miaoyu was silent there with a face of an outsider.

Anyway, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

It was night, Zuo Xi took Miao Yu and insisted on talking with Dai Yu Bingzhu at night, and the one who shouted the most was the first to fall asleep, leaving the two of them watching each other with helpless faces.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zuo Xi talked to Miao Yu, and left Miao Yu to go to work.

As soon as Zuo Xi left, Miaoyu seemed to have lost her backbone, feeling a little uneasy.When Daiyu fulfilled her friendship as a landlord, she also gave Miaoyu a copy of her own poetry collection for Miaoyu to read according to Zuo Xi's earlier request, and then arranged family affairs not far from Miaoyu.

The Lin family has a simple population, but such a family also has twenty or thirty things to do every day.In the back-and-forth conversations between the stewards, Daiyu either agreed or disagreed, or asked about the old rules, or changed the regulations, as well as purchases, farms, and so on. Today's housework is done, and then the steward is dismissed, and Miaoyu continues to make those poems.

As for the scene of Daiyu managing the house just now, I don't know if Miaoyu saw it or not.

Zuo Xi took it for granted, but she felt that Miaoyu was a bit arrogant.Such a person, if you ask her to express her feelings, she will be the most unwilling, and there is no way to do it if she is awkward.However, the most common way to deal with this kind of person is that you have to put on a strong face first, and then she will have to accept it 'to avoid trouble'.

If it was before, Zuo Xi didn't have the time to play this game with her.But recently, his mentality has been matured by those bastards in Rongguo Mansion. When he sees Miaoyu again, he is willing to take a step back.

She wants to ask Miaoyu to get in touch with Daiyu, and then try to see if she is willing to change her clothes.

When Zuo Xi dragged Miaoyu out, she didn't ask Miaoyu's nanny and girl to follow her, and she didn't ask anyone to pack Miaoyu's luggage, so if Miaoyu's robes were dirty or torn, there was no Taoist robe to change .If you want to change into clean clothes, you can either wear the new clothes brought by Zuo Xi, or wear the new clothes that Daiyu didn't have.

If Miaoyu is willing to change her attire, as long as she sees that she has changed her attire, then Zuo Xi doesn't need to do anything else, she will know what Miaoyu means on Shishi.

She wanted to return to vulgarity and get married.

But if she took this step and gave Miaoyu the steps to step down, and Miaoyu hadn't stepped down, then she really didn't care about Miaoyu's affairs from now on.

She was not reincarnated based on truth, goodness and beauty.

There is no such obligation.

……

When Zuo Xi came down from Xiaotangshan, besides the coachman, he brought along Cheng Jin, Xiao Xiaozi and ten guards.Leaving Yuncheng at Lin's house and asking her to take care of some Miaoyu, Zuo Xi left with the others.

Zuo Xi and his group first went to a restaurant on the street, and after asking for a private room, they asked for Sister Feng to come over.

Because of the separation of the family earlier, Sister Feng was scolded by Jia's mother, and she asked Jia Lian to divorce Sister Feng, and asked the Wang family to pick her up.When Sister Feng saw that Jia Mu was so angry with her, she burst out laughing.

It is said that Jia's mother has been partial to the second house, suppressed the eldest house, and favored Baoyu in recent years, and has no grandson Jia Lian in her eyes.

Sister Feng is very eloquent, not only can draw inferences about other cases from one instance and make Jia's mother speechless, she even played tricks.

She asked someone to push a woman in, and then asked the woman to kneel in the Rongqing hall, and said in front of the big guys how Jia Lian's biological mother was forced to death by Jia Mu, an evil mother-in-law, and how she was worried that Jia Lian knew the biological mother. There will be revenge, so Jia Lian has tried his best to suppress things since he was a child.

Not only that, Sister Feng also picked out a girl from the group of girls in Rongqing Hall.Let her tell everyone what she overheard that day.

The girl shivered, then knelt on the ground and told Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang how to kill Sister Feng's child, and how to ask Baoyu to seize the title of Dafang.

Jia Mu was so angry that she cursed and threw things at Sister Feng.

No one knows how wronged you are than the one who wronged you.

But Sister Feng is not afraid of Jia Mu at all, she just wants to kill Jia Mu unjustly.

As for Mrs. Wang, oh, she is still serving the sick in the palace.

So in the big scene that day, only Jia Mu was the victim.

After Jia's mother fainted, the atmosphere of Jia's family has been on the verge of being weird and explosive...
