Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

There was indeed nothing found in Baoyu's room.

Xiren was worried that Qingwen would not be able to hide her words, so she asked Sheyue quietly, but she couldn't ask anything, and even only knew that there were many girls who wanted to find a way to go to Baoyu's room, especially as long as the big girls were away. , These little girls make trouble more often.

Xiren didn't dare to spread the story to everyone, and saw that Baoyu really didn't care. For this reason, in addition to keeping more important things in Baoyu's room, and tidying up the mattress for Baoyu, he also Don't think too much about it.

On Ping'er's side, however, a little girl was found, because this little girl happened to have contact with a servant of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion recently, and the two of them walked around quite frequently. What I said to Wang Xifeng, I was afraid that it was really some calculation in the palace that would harm them, so I didn't dare to say anything to the little girl first, so I just quietly told Sister Feng about this matter and analyzed it in private.

Daiyu reminded her so solemnly that night, and Xifeng knew that the Lin family was special, so she had already paid attention to it.Ping'er said this again, although she was very angry at the little girl who was so daring to harm her, she was also afraid that this little girl was actually acting on the orders of the King of Nan'an County.

Don't look at the Jia family and the Nan'an County Palace as family friends, but both families know that the current Jia family has no qualifications to negotiate with the Nan'an County Palace.Moreover, given the bloodiness of the man of the Jia family today, there is really nothing but patience.Wang Xifeng can only use the reason of mobilizing girls and women in the new year, so that the little girl has no chance to touch Wang Xifeng's house, and usually has no chance to touch important things in Rongguo Mansion.

As for using power outside to help other people do something and earn some money for herself, Xifeng dare not do it now.

After thinking about it, she finally felt that apart from doing these things, she might affect the financial resources of Nan'an County's royal family and cause the other party to deal with her, and she couldn't think of any other reason.

Qin Keqing persuaded, Daiyu persuaded, even Chongyu reminded, Wang Xifeng is not a person who will do things alone, how could he not listen at all?

But family expenses still require money. Wang Xifeng really had no choice but to put his idea on Jiamu's private treasury.

There are not many good things in the Rongguo Mansion, but there are many treasures in Jia Mu's private treasury. If these things can be taken out and used, at least they can last for a while.

The keys in Jiamu's warehouse are kept by Yuanyang, and Yuanyang and Ping'er have always been close. Wang Xifeng only thought that if at any time, she really couldn't hold on anymore, she would ask Ping'er to discuss with Yuanyang and borrow some from Jiamu's private warehouse. Going out to pawn things can also get some money for turnover.

But when it got to that point, Wang Xifeng was not sure that she would be able to redeem Jiamu's things.

For this reason, it is said that Ping'er went to discuss with Yuanyang, but in fact it still needs to be approved by Jia's mother in the end.

Don't let Jia's mother take private treasury subsidies directly, just for the sake of looking good.

After all, it was Jia Zheng's room that really needed such a subsidy, and Jia Amnesty's cost was far less than that of Jia Zheng's room.Previously, Jia She lived in the old house of Rong Mansion, and Jia Zheng lived in the new house. No matter how close the two families are, it is still a separation.If the items in Jia's mother's private treasury were only given to Jia Zheng but not to Jia Amnesty, Jia Amnesty, who already felt that his mother was partial, would be even more dissatisfied.

Taking Jiamu's private treasury under the pretense of Yuanyang's name really caused a dispute between Jia and Amnesty, and it is possible to push all the problems to Yuanyang alone, as long as Yuanyang dared to deceive the master like this.

There were so many and complicated things going on in the Rong Mansion, Wang Xifeng became more and more inclined to go back to the Dafang.

This time, there is no need for Ping'er and Qin Keqing to persuade her, she has her own thoughts, and only hates that Madam Wang still refuses to let her go. She implicitly proposed that Madam Wang ignored her, and she wanted to speak out, but she was afraid of being hurt again. amiable.

Although Wang Xifeng is also a girl of the Wang family, she calls her Aunt Wang Xifeng, but her relationship with Mrs. Wang is somewhat estranged.Wang Xifeng's house lives in Jinling, but Mrs. Wang's house is in the capital.

For this reason, although the two are relatives, they are actually not that close.

For Mrs. Wang, if Wang Xifeng can help her family with something, then naturally she can keep it.But it is absolutely impossible for her to think about Wang Xifeng's interests.

Wang Xifeng is very clear about this.

Therefore, although she also helped Mrs. Wang with things before, she also considered her own interests more.

Once she stays with Mrs. Wang, she can't guarantee her own interests, so she can only hold tight to herself first.

Even the future of Jia Lian and the Jia family is not as important to her as the real interests at hand.

Mrs. Wang is now just trying to evade her, so Wang Xifeng's heart is also chilling.

Although she obtained a lot of benefits by helping out in the Rongguo Mansion, fundamentally speaking, she also subsidized a lot of dowry.This is true.

Seeing that she would not get much benefit if she continued to help the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng naturally had to find a way to make up for the little vacancy in her dowry.

She even tried to find a way to leave a fortune for her daughter, so that if something happened to the Jia family in the future, her daughter would still be able to live comfortably.

Wang Xifeng didn't have these thoughts at first, but now secretly counting the dowry that other girls in the Jia family can get, it really makes her worry about how much her daughter will get in the future.

Although her eldest sister is still young now, it is always right to prepare early.

It was already February in a blink of an eye.

Jia Lan has been working harder in her studies recently, and she just waits for Tong to try it out so that she can show some limelight in front of her grandfather.

Li Wan usually taught him, asking him to act safely and not easily contradict others.He also knew on weekdays that most other people in the mansion only paid attention to his second uncle Baoyu, he and Jia Huan were inconspicuous, and even if there was any problem at home, they might be left behind.He is not like Jia Huan, when he sees other people ignoring him, he makes troubles frequently, although he attracts the attention of others, but also makes others resent him.Jia Lan only concentrates on studying, and wants to become famous in the future, so that his family can know that he is not bad at all.

Now this child's test is his best chance.

For this reason, he studied hard day and night, even when Xue Pan got married and invited him, he had no time to go.

He didn't have much contact with Xue Pan, and he usually doesn't have much contact with outsiders, so it's okay if he doesn't go this time.Jia Lian and Baoyu from Jia's family, Jia Zhen from Ningfu and others have all gone, which is enough to contact Jia and Xue's feelings, and it is enough.

The Lin family also had a happy event recently, but it was the happy event of Guo Sixi and Yang Liutong.

The two families were engaged a few years ago, but Yang Liutong escorted the caravan to set off, and when the caravan returned, it was already close to the end of the year, there were many chores, and no matter how busy the marriage was, it was easier to get dizzy, so it was delayed until the next year, and Xue Pan The difference between before and after the wedding is only a few days.

Fortunately, there are many Rigi days in February this year, which is enough to have two consecutive happy events.

After the two weddings, Yang Liutong will take Guo Sixi back to the teacher's gate, and leave the capital with Xue Pan and his wife by the way.

Chongyu agreed to Xu Qingyan and wanted to give her a safe and sound living environment.

In the end, the place chosen by Lin Ruhai and Chongyu was Guidi.

Firstly, Lin Ruhai used to be the governor of Guidi, and now many local officials in Guidi belong to Lin Ruhai's faction. The Xue family is there, as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, they are not afraid that someone will trouble them; secondly, Chongyu Piaomiao Shifeng, where the master's gate is located, is also in the land of Gui, Yang Liutong and Guo Sixi are married, so they should go back to see the master and others again.And with the masters of Chongyu Shimen around, there is no need to worry about assassination and other things.

Lin Ruhai even prepared a place near Piaomiao Shifeng in Guidi, and also prepared a hermit house in case of any accidents in the future, and also sent his children there so that Piaomiao Shifeng could take care of them.

This is the worst plan, but also the best plan.

Even if in the future, Lin Ruhai is ready to support the third prince's ascension to the throne, he will stay away from the right and wrong in the capital.Guidi, which he has managed for many years, is the best place for him to live in seclusion after he resigns.

There is no close relative of Lin Ruhai in the Lin family's ancestral home, so it doesn't make much sense not to go back. Just like the Jia family, Wang family and other families, although they have their ancestral home, Jia's mother and others have never considered going back.The Lin family is similar now. Lin Ruhai has lived in the capital for a long time. Although his ancestral home has business, it is no longer considered the most important place.And if Lin Ruhai really lived in seclusion, he would have to stay far away from his ancestral home in order to avoid being disturbed as much as possible.

What's more, Guidi is near the sea, so it is convenient to go to sea.

After Daiyu told him Master Miaoyu's last words, he did his best to support Chongyu in running the Lin Family Firm.

Some overseas operations must be allowed by the imperial court. Lin Ruhai made more efforts to mediate in order to obtain various qualifications for the Lin family firm.

Not much happens in February.

Jia Lantong passed the exam, causing some disturbances in Jia's family.

Jia Zheng was extremely satisfied with his grandson, but compared with Baoyu and Jia Huan, who were not much different in age from Jia Lan, Jia Zheng began to force his two sons to study again after being pleasantly surprised.He no longer had much hope for Baoyu, and because Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang doted on Baoyu, he did not dare to persecute Baoyu too much, but he did not have such worries about Jia Huan.

Seeing that Jia Lan can study hard by himself, Jia Zheng simply inspected Baoyu and Jia Huan's knowledge more frequently in his spare time, causing them to complain secretly.

Aunt Zhao was a little happy.

Although she felt sorry for Jia Huan's study, she was even more glad that Jia Zheng was willing to spend more energy on Jia Huan. In this way, she only cared about urging Jia Huan to study together with Jia Zheng, and she didn't have so much heart to be jealous. Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were favored by Jiamu.

Aunt Zhao's actions made Jia Zheng, who already liked Aunt Zhao, love to go to Aunt Zhao's room even more, and hated Mrs. Wang so much that she always went to the small Buddhist hall, relying on chanting Buddha and meditating.

Mother Jia doesn't care much about these things, as long as her children and grandchildren are healthy.If Jia Huan can really get good grades in his studies, it will be considered a help to the Jia family.

The days are still passing silently.

Baochai still lived in Lin's house and went to school, but went home more often.

Aunt Xue has been watching people for Baochai, but without Xue Pan in Beijing, Xue Biao is usually busy, she is not so convenient to inquire about the situation of other young princes in Beijing, even if there are some matchmakers who come to the house, they only listen to these matchmakers. Aunt Xue didn't dare to believe how good other people were, so her progress in finding a husband-in-law for Baochai became slower and slower.

Even so, there are many matchmakers going to Xue's house, and there are also many men who can meet Aunt Xue.Even though there is a lack of princes and grandchildren with excellent family backgrounds, but with the status of the Xue family, they have no chance to be with these people. The character of the person is good, so Baochai came back to choose.

Baochai naturally didn't care much about these things, but Aunt Xue was so enthusiastic, she couldn't ignore it, only when Aunt Xue sent someone to invite her, she would go home and have a look, which caused the sisters to ask about it from time to time. .

Daiyu used to be refusing to forgive others, and she was on good terms with Baochai, so she had no scruples in her words and deeds. Everyone thought she would make fun of Baochai more often than others, but Daiyu never said much in this matter. , and even occasionally when people pressed Baochai more frequently, Daiyu would change the subject for Baochai.

Since no one knew Daiyu's sour heart, the sisters only thought that Daiyu was afraid that Baochai would be asked too many questions and felt embarrassed, so they gradually stopped mentioning these things.

At the beginning, Daiyu was secretly glad that she didn't have to hear about these things all the time, which only added to her heartache, but when the sisters really didn't talk about it, she felt even more tormented.She was ashamed to ask Baochai in private, but every time she wanted to speak, she always felt shy, and she was not as casual as she used to be to tease her sisters.But if you don't ask, Baochai won't take the initiative to say anything, so she doesn't know anything, and she feels even more uneasy, fearing that one day Baochai will suddenly tell her that the wedding date has been fixed.

After suffering like this for a period of time, seeing that Baoyu's birthday was about to come, and the sisters' chatting recently became how to celebrate Baoyu's birthday, Daiyu finally couldn't help it.
