Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

"If you only pin your hopes on the emperor, I don't know if there will be any changes? Auntie, after all, it is better to be cautious." But Qing still had concerns, and said worriedly, "Let's say that you are using the money from the emperor's family to envoy , but it’s not like you can see the money today. Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if you still need to move the property based on the current expenses?”

Hearing this, Xifeng frowned, but it soon spread out, and said with a smile: "I have my own opinion on this matter. With our expenditure, if we only look at the reward, it will not be of much use after all. It’s just that there are rewards, and everyone has to be decent. It’s those powerful people who can really support the expenses of a family like us.”

"Don't say that our family's eldest lady has become a concubine now, and our family's status will be stronger in the future. Even before, not to mention those who were masters, we can all earn some hard money!"

Ke Qing was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by Auntie's words?"

"I see it's you, so I'll tell you!" Xi Fengdang asked her to help Zhang Jinge, the daughter of a rich man in Chang'an County, from the Jingxu Old Nite of Shuiyue Temple a few days ago. The marriage of the original Chang'an garrison son had already been decided, so that her father would promise her to Li Yanei, the son of the Chang'an mansion, and tell Keqing all about it.

On that day, Xifeng, in the name of Jia Lian, ordered someone to compile a book and send it to Yunguang, the Jiedu envoy of Chang'an County who owed Jia's family a long time, and asked Yunguang to complete the matter.Naturally, Xifeng settled the matter and enjoyed the 3000 taels sent by old nun Jingxu.Brother Zhang Jin was a man of affection, he hanged himself to death after knowing that his parents had resigned from the marriage, and the son of the guard also threw himself into the river to die when he heard about it.

Although these things are not too many, since Xifeng resolved Brother Zhang Jin's marriage, some people came to Xifeng one after another, and let Xifeng get a lot of benefits from it.

Xifeng was born in the Wang family, so she can use the power of the Jia family to act as a daughter-in-law of the Jia family, but also act as a daughter of the Wang family, which is very convenient.Especially after Wang Ziteng was promoted to rule the nine provinces, the royal family's momentum grew day by day.The previous Wang family had the potential to compete with the Jia family for the limelight, and when it comes to real power in the hands of the men, the Wang family was even more victorious.

But now Qing could hear the faint complacency in Xifeng's words, and couldn't help worrying for Xifeng.

"Auntie, who else in the family knows what you have done?"

"Miss and the others don't know anything. Even your uncle may not know."

Even though Xifeng said so, she was a little uncertain in her heart.She wanted to edit the book and send it to Chang'an for defense. She asked Lai Wanger to help spread the news, and she also asked the master's husband to edit the book. In the end, she borrowed it in the name of Jia Lian. She was really not sure, and why did these people ask Jia Lian about these things.But Jia Lian has never come to ask her so far. She had thought about how to talk to Jia Lian about these things before, but now she gradually doesn't care.

But Qing is not as optimistic as Xifeng, but seeing Xifeng's wanton appearance, she also knows that if she has no other reasons, she will never give more advice, so she can only keep this matter in her heart silently.Fortunately, Xifeng was willing to say these words in front of her, which shows that she treats her sincerely, which at least gives her some confidence.

But Jia Zhengyuan was in Jinling, and when he received a letter from his family, he knew the good news in Yuanchun, and everything was already a foregone conclusion.

Jia Yucun, who had given Yingtian Mansion supplementary grants before, knew that Jia Zheng had arrived in Jinling because he was also in Jinling, so he often visited Jia Zheng in his spare time.It was only now in Yuanchun that Jia Zheng knew about the good news. It happened that Jia Yucun came to visit Jia Zheng again.

When Yucun entered the door, without waiting for Jia Zheng to speak, he congratulated Jia Zheng first.

Jia Zheng wondered secretly, but later learned that because of Jia Yucun's will, he wanted to go to Beijing to meet his majesty and fill in the vacancies in Beijing.The people who came to Chuan Yucun to go to Beijing naturally heard the good news of Yuan Chun's concubine when they came out of Beijing.Jia Yucun is also surnamed Jia, so the person who delivered the decree had to say a few more words.Jia Yucun originally wanted to say goodbye to Jia Zheng before entering Beijing, and upon hearing such a happy event, he came to congratulate Jia Zheng even more anxiously.

After Jia Zheng and Jia Yucun were polite to each other, Jia Zheng ordered Baoyu to be invited to meet the guests.

When Baoyu first arrived in Jinling, he was ill for a while.But after reading the two notes written by Chongyu that night, he really fell asleep while waiting for Mingyan to send Jia Zheng back.I don't know if the dream is true or not, but I just vaguely dreamed of a barren mountain, but there is a huge rock on the mountain, and there seems to be a monk talking and laughing together under the rock.

After Baoyu woke up, she couldn't remember exactly what the monk said, but she couldn't help feeling a little more nostalgic for the rich and gentle place where she used to live at home.

Chongyu reminded him, asking him to take a good look at what kind of life more secular people are living besides the prosperity.Baoyu once went out to pay attention, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that such people were filthy.

When Baoyu saw Qin Zhong that day, he hated that he was not born in a poor family and a poor eunuch, so he couldn't get acquainted with Qin Zhong and others early.Seeing the life of those really poor people now, although I don't think they are so disgusting, but I can't agree with their daily behavior.

Therefore, Baoyu only paid attention to observing for some time, but he didn't want to observe any more.

When he was away from home, he didn't have any sisters to accompany him, and he didn't have Xiren, Qingwen and other maids as companions in his Jiangyun Pavilion as usual, Baoyu put his mind more on studying.And because Jia Zheng was by his side, no matter how much he read miscellaneous books, he had to put part of his mind back on the Four Books. Only when he had memorized enough homework every day could he read other miscellaneous books.

On the contrary, Mingyan knew what he was thinking, and quietly found a lot of miscellaneous books for him, as long as he must not read them in front of the master.Jia Zheng also had many affairs, and he had other things to do with making friends. He had no time to supervise Baoyu's studies all the time, which gave Baoyu a lot of time to read the ancient and modern, legendary corners and so on, which he found from Mingyan, at least for the time away. Had some fun.

Now that Jia Zheng suddenly wants to ask Baoyu to go out to meet guests, Baoyu will inevitably be taken aback. He frantically puts away the Feiyan Waizhuan he was watching, and takes out another university to put on display.

Ming Yan suppressed a smile and said, "Second Master, if it is true that the Master is here, it will not work if you pretend to be in front of the Master now!"

Baoyu also made up his mind at this time, only annoyed at Mingyan to make fun of himself, and warned in a low voice: "Don't laugh, the master really knows, but you, the one who came to find books for me, really can't escape. Although I have read these miscellaneous books, after all, I am away from home and have no sisters around me. I don’t have to worry about these miscellaneous books teaching them badly. There is no limit to how much the master can annoy me. But once the master finds these books, I want to deal with you. I don't know if I can protect you?"

Mingyan hurriedly stopped laughing, and said again and again: "Good second master! The people who read these books are only you and I who know! If others really know that I have found these books for you, I will be afraid." Really don’t know what to do.”

Seeing that he was afraid, Baoyu complained, while preparing to change into his clothes to meet the guests, "It's good if you know. I just don't know why Jiayu village is here again. The master is not enough to sit with him, and he wants to see me again."

Baoyu is most annoyed that whenever Jia Yucun wants to see him, he always has to talk about articles.Although he could answer what Jia Yucun said, it was really boring.

Jia Zheng was really happy about it.Jia Zheng also had some expectations for Baoyu. When he was in Beijing, with Chongyu as a comparison, he only looked at Baoyu's articles, which were almost useless.Only when Jia Yucun came, he could always find some precious jade.

Baoyu met Jia Yucun today and talked for a while, but when he heard that Yucun was going to talk about studying again, Baoyu had no idea.Now his mind is still on the unfinished story of Feiyan, how can he concentrate on answering Yucun's question?I just wish I could go back and read the book as soon as possible.

Just as Baoyu was secretly anxious, Jia Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Yucun, don't be so busy talking to the little boy. I want him to come here today, but I need brother Yucun to help me."

Baoyu was overjoyed, thinking that he could get away with this homework, but after hearing what Jia Zheng said later, he became even more suspicious.

Jia Yucun didn't understand, so he hurriedly asked why.

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "Because I came here to study books at home, the Tao is to build a provincial house, so that the concubine can go home to visit relatives. When I came to study books at home, I already talked about the construction of another courtyard, and there was my brother and me. I can rest assured that I and others will take care of it. However, after the construction is completed, I don’t know what to do with plaques and couplets.”

"These things should have been given by the noble concubine. However, if the noble concubine did not see the wonderful scene in person, she would not make an appointment. If she waited for the noble concubine to travel and write again, it seemed that the scenery was sparse and boring. I think that day, the noble concubine was still there At home, I also personally taught Baoyu to read and write. I thought in my heart that if Baoyu went back, he would be able to accompany him in drafting the questions when the project in the other courtyard was completed. If he could speak one or two words, it would also be good for the imperial concubine to be happy when she visited the garden. "

"It just so happens that you are going to Beijing too, so I would like to invite you to take my son with you. If you are free after you come to Beijing and the garden is built, you can also help to plan it, which will relieve my worries. worry."

As soon as Jia Zheng's words came out, both Baoyu and Jia Yucun were shocked.

Yucun hurriedly said that he would not dare to inscribe a plaque for this provincial house, and praised Baoyu's own talent for antithetical couplets, and he must be able to do the job after returning.

Baoyu was stunned by the news.

Until when, Jia Zheng and Yucun discussed and agreed that Yucun should really let Yucun take him back to Beijing, and he woke up.

He has been thinking about going home for a long time, but now that his wish is really going to come true, he feels like he is in a dream.

Royal concubine, visiting relatives and other courtyards, couplets with inscribed plaques?

And this time on the way back to Beijing, he was going to go with Yucun again?

Baoyu was sent back by Jia Zheng to pack up his things, and he remembered it again.

Now that he is going home, what should he do with the miscellaneous books that Mingyan found for him?If he took it home, how would he hide it from the rest of the family?That's all, along the way, should we watch it, or not?After all, he will go with Yucun, and he has to be discovered by Yucun carefully!

But if Baoyu had to abandon these books and deal with them in a hurry before returning to Beijing, it would not be easy to deceive people.Besides, Baoyu was also reluctant, so in the end he could only order Mingyan to pack it up carefully and hide it in the middle of the luggage, so as not to be noticed.
