Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang suddenly thought of something, turned to Jia Lu, and asked, "Sister Lu, how is the preparation for your new embroidery shop? Are the goods sufficient?"

What Mrs. Zhang was talking about was exactly Jia Lu’s original plan to open an embroidery village for the common people, and at the same time, it was half-relief. Mrs. Zhang was not optimistic about it, but it was beneficial to guide the atmosphere in the house, so she didn’t care much.

Talking about this, Jia Lu was a little embarrassed. At first, there was a lot of trouble, but just like what Mrs. Zhang and the old man in the house thought, it didn't go well.

She has already spent 300 taels of silver for collecting embroidery, which is not a small amount. Even Fugui Embroidery Village has two months of profit, but the quality is uneven, and her embroiderer has to come out to carefully select and classify. That's good.

Jia Lu hesitated, and said, "Most of the things are ready, except for the good embroidery work, which is still being accepted, the others have stopped, waiting for the opening in the middle of this month."

Mrs. Zhang was noncommittal, this was originally the dowry left by her mother-in-law, and it was impossible for her as a sister-in-law to intervene. Any loss or loss was her own business, and she was just asking a few symbolic questions.

"That's all, you're grown up, besides the few shops and Zhuangzi on hand, I'll hand over your other properties to you one after another. If you have any difficulties, just tell your sister-in-law. We have to finish the handover before you go out, otherwise, when you go to someone else's house and encounter any problems, I can't follow you!"

Jia Lu nodded, saying that her sister-in-law might have some selfish intentions, but she was very clear about it.

Sometimes even the biological mother will only hand over the dowry on the eve of the wedding. At most, she will let the girl watch and manage it on weekdays, because every day the shop is in hand, it will produce an extra day. The interest comes, but Zhang doesn't care about it.

"Madam, grandma, girl, the second princess is here!" Several people were talking, when the little girl outside came to report.

Zhang got up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Let's go, let's meet the second princess!"

"It's fine, why is she here?" Jia Lu asked Shen.

This Jia Qiang is not here, and the second princess doesn't live in Jia's house either. She usually stays at her princess's mansion, but she is rarely seen here.

Shen didn't know, so she said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong!"

Seeing that they hadn't moved for a long time, Mrs. Zhang urged, "Don't delay, come out quickly!"

After only a short while, the second princess ran in.

That's right, it's "run"!

The second princess seemed very happy, and her steps were brisk, completely lacking the dignity and stability of the princess. Mrs. Zhang stepped forward to salute, but she hurriedly stopped her, and said,

"How many times have I said it? It's just a family ritual at home. My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen their aunt!"

Zhang helped her up with a smile, insisted on saluting, Fang said, "The national ceremony is before the family ceremony, and the princess has already performed the family ceremony, why are we not allowed to perform the national ceremony?"

After all, Shen Shi and Jia Lu also came up to greet her. Jia Lu saw her peach blossom face and happy brows, and asked,

"What's the happy event for the princess?"

"Just as I was about to talk about this, I just got the news from the palace that the navy from the south will be back soon!"

Everyone was smiling, and Mrs. Zhang clasped her hands together and hurriedly said, "Amitabha! It's really a great happy event! Come here! Go and tell the master to go, and the old lady next door!"

"Yes!" Someone answered and left in a hurry!

White cloths were still hanging on the walls and eaves of the Ning Mansion, but they were no longer desolate and desolate. Just like this season, it became lively with the warmth of late spring.

Jia Lu looked at the second princess who couldn't help but joked, "On that day, brother Qiang went to the south just after getting married, and now he is back, the second princess is so happy!"

The second princess blushed and spat, "I'm happy, so could it be that you're not happy?"

"What am I happy about, I don't have one..." Jia Lu suddenly got stuck at this point, and it was only at this moment that she realized that her so-called fiancé also came back with Jia Qiang.

Well this time, it was the Second Princess' turn to laugh at her, and said, "I heard that Master Jiang is very handsome, this time he has made great achievements again, and the ladies outside are so jealous!"

Tat for tat, Jia Lu also blushed.

Zhang Shi looked at Coke, and said to Shen Shi, "Look at the two of them, they haven't come back yet, but they are blushing first!"

Shen also jokingly said, "That is to say, what you say on the surface is yours, but what you think in your heart is your own!"

One is a young daughter-in-law, and the other is the family of a daughter who has not left the court. Mrs. Zhang is afraid that the two of them will be ashamed and annoyed if they talk too much.

"Second princess, I wonder if the time for the army to enter Beijing has ever been set?"

"It's decided, it will be on the eleventh day." The second princess replied.

"It's so fast, today is five days, isn't it six days later, why didn't there be any sound before?" Shen asked.

The second princess shook her head, and replied, "I don't know about that either. The concubine mother just told me this morning, and it will be widely spread outside after a while."

After finishing speaking, the second princess looked a little hesitant, bit her lip, looked directly at Mrs. Zhang, and asked, "When the army comes back, the imperial court will definitely meet the general on the imperial street, and the common people lined up to welcome him. Should our family go out to greet him? "

The second princess can go by herself, but she seems too, too unreserved when she goes alone, so she wants to drag Zhang Shi and others out together.

It's just that it's time for the Ning Mansion to keep their filial piety behind closed doors at this time, so it's a little inappropriate to attend such a grand event.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang pondered for a moment, then said,

"I can't take charge of this matter, I'll ask the master first!"

After Jia Jing left, Jia Zhen went to Zhezi to keep his filial piety at home. He was not a useful person, and the emperor didn't bother to win his favor, so he accepted his three-year filial piety and praised him for his filial piety, so he has been at home for more than half a year Inside, I have never gone out, so it is cheap to find him this time, and a kid came back after a while and said,

"The master said that although our family is keeping filial piety, it is not under house arrest. How can we not even get out of the house? What's more, every young master and uncle in our family are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. This is their glory. , is also our glory, so it’s okay to go and have a look.”

Now that it was made, there was no delay, before the news of this meeting came out, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ordered the servant to go to a restaurant on Yujie Street and set up a room by the window. The sight line was good, and their family was small. One room is enough.

Afterwards, I couldn't help but rejoice, after the news of the triumphant return of the army spread, the prices of all the better wing rooms on the Imperial Street skyrocketed, and the price was high, and they still couldn't get it.

Afterwards, the second princess didn't go back to the princess mansion anymore, and just went with the people from Ning mansion when she waited for the day.
