The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Jinling

On this day, Jia Yucun took a couplet and walked outside from the Calabash Temple.Now he lives in the Gourd Temple, and earns his living by selling writing and composing every day. Even if he is full of knowledge, how can he succeed?Seeing that Enke of the imperial court will start again next year, Shenjing is far away, and he doesn't even have travel expenses for his luggage!I had no choice but to listen to what the little novice said, and try to see if I can meet that wealthy Zhen Shiyin and ask him to help me.

Jia Yucun has lived here for a while, and the neighbors greeted him when they saw him go out.He is also often subsidized and taken care of, with a polite face, but a little annoyed in his heart. He only thinks about when he will be able to make a fortune, and he will never need to please these people.

Seeing Huo Qi, the servant of Zhen's family, returning home with a basket of vegetables, he cupped his hands and said hello, "Hello, little brother."

Seeing that it was Jia Yucun, a scholar, Huo Qi immediately rejoiced, "Hello, Mr. Jia!"

Jia Yucun smiled, and asked inadvertently, "Okay, I saw Master Zhen last time and said that we would recite poems together to fight against each other. Why doesn't he seem to be gone for a while?"

"My lord has gone on a trip. You know, my lord. My lord has no children. There is only one lady. There is nothing wrong with the family. He met Mr. Jiazhu, the second room of the Rongguo Mansion, and after becoming close friends, he talked about I was fascinated by the scenery of various places, so I took my wife and daughter to find friends and play together." Huo Qi was not wary, he said everything, the masters are not at home, as long as they keep an eye on the door, they are at ease.

It's not here!Why are you not here at this time!

hateful!

Jia Yucun asked, "Do you know when you'll be back?"

Huo Qi thought for a while, then shook his head regretfully, "How do we know about the matter of the master, the young master has something to do with our master? If there is something to do, you can write a book and send it to Jia's family for study, and ask them to forward it on your behalf." Give it to my master. I remember the master said that he is going to go to Kyoto to see it!" He was feeling proud of this, "Actually, it is not only my master, if you have relatives in Kyoto, it will not be as troublesome as before. You need to rely on relatives and friends to find a way to deliver letters, and the Jia family has opened a mailing hall on the other side of the family school. As long as you have a detailed name and address, and it is in Jinling and Kyoto, you can find it and take it there."

"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Jia Yucun was a little surprised. The mountains and rivers are far away, and it is so troublesome to help find someone.

"It's not a good thing. Although everything depends on the situation, no one is unwilling." Huo Qi thought about his mother, but always thought that there was a younger brother who went to the capital and vaguely knew the address, but If you really want to look for it, where can you find it if you are not familiar with it.

This time it was entrusted to Jia's trusteeship hall. Although they collected five taels of silver, there was no guarantee that they would be found.But when my mother went back to talk about the money, grandma gritted her teeth and took out the money. "Even if I can't find it, with this receipt, when I die and go underground, I can tell his father that I have tried my best."

When my grandfather passed away, I always thought that the family had not yet been reunited, but now I can count on some hope.If you really take five taels of silver yourself, I'm afraid it won't be enough for a trip.

Jia Yucun felt a little disappointed at first, and after hearing this, he wanted to observe it, and gave the banner to others. After collecting the money, he came to the Jia family that Huo Qi said to study, and he could see it from a distance. What a big gate signboard, the word Jia's directly pierced his heart, followed by two rows of newly planted pine trees, but also lush green and new, after the stone road that can be passed by cars and horses, is It is a big house with four entrances and four exits. When you get close, you can clearly see the words Jia's ancestral home.

It's praiseworthy and annoying, it's obviously the same surname, why can the ancestors of the family leave such a fertile land for their descendants!

Seeing that the two gates were open and no one was guarding them, Jia Yucun plucked up his courage and went in. He saw a huge mirror in the middle of the Yimen Gate, which showed his fine details, and he could not help covering his face with his hands. , When I regained my senses again, I saw four words on the mirror, self-examination of appearance, and another couplet--Jia Men should be self-improving, learning is endless, you must stand up and try your courage; The spirit of carrying forward the past and opening up the future.

This couplet is easy to understand. Jia Yucun straightened his clothes on the mirror before turning around to look at others. Only the Jia family is rich and powerful, so they put such a mirror outside in such a grand manner.

The weather is hot, and there is no one on the corridors on both sides. There are six sets of rooms on the left and right. They are divided into rooms A, B, C, and D. The doors are not closed. It is clear that there are students sitting in them listening to the teacher's lectures. No one is distracted, playing and lazy in class. , even some eight-nine-year-old children are the same.This surprised Jia Yucun secretly. From this point of view, the Jia family in Beijing can be regarded as having successors. Even if only one of the 20 people is outstanding, it will be a century-old prosperity if it is passed down from generation to generation!

"Young master, you have gone to the wrong place. Please send things over there."

Just as he was watching, an old man in a green robe walked over with his crutches on his back. He was Jia Dairu.Because the yield of the sacrificial fields was good, anyone from the Jia clan who was willing to be enlightened over the age of seven could be sent to the family school. Even if he took his son alone, he really couldn't take care of him, so Jia Zheng invited several talented people. The gentleman sitting in the hall, let him be the supervisor of the seniors.

The trusteeship office over there is because every time Jinling sends things (some output from the field) or sends people from Kyoto (new books and inspection and acceptance personnel), many people ask them to deliver letters and things on their behalf. There are too many things, after letting Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang, know that everyone is either relatives or old friends, if they all refuse, it will hurt everyone's feelings, if they all continue, what will happen to my serious errands?

Simply file and register if necessary, and handle affairs at the cash register.One is to prevent some people from thinking that there is no need for nothing, and ask for help in everything.The second is that there are those who are willing to run away to earn this money, let them earn it.The third is to avoid the trouble of people who are serious and have errands, and there are words of relief.

What Wang Guizhi didn't say was that this express logistics can also make a lot of money.

Jia Yucun saw that although he was old, he was a well-learned man, and he respectfully said, "Old man, I am also a poor scholar. When I saw the academy, I was eager to see it. Seeing that the door was not closed, I had the courage to come in and have a look." He praised, "It is really admirable to Xiaosheng. Such an education is based on reading. Mr. Jia is really a wise man with a doctor." Since he is a Jia family, he must be a member of the Jia family.

Jia Dairu smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's not my credit, it's because our family has a good boy." He was also proud and felt that his face was radiant.It's a pity that the family members can't boast in front of outsiders. The old lady is wise, and the descendants of Ning and Rong are promising!

After setting up the ancestral sacrificial land, the twelve houses where Jinling originally lived, some came to visit their relatives, and some wealthy people also invested money in it. In addition, there were three houses in Duzhong including him. Before he closed his eyes, Seeing with his own eyes that someone in the [-]th house of Jiamen won the yellow list, he really died in peace!

Jia Yucun saw that there were people of the same age as him in the school, and because he had the same surname as Jia, he wanted to join him. Wouldn't it be nice to bring him to Beijing to take the exam together.

It's a pity that although Jia Dairu was pedantic in calligraphy and had experienced a lot, he still refused to answer the question, and only politely asked the servant to send Jia Yucun out.

The Jia family can't take care of their own family, not to mention the Wang family, the Xue family, and the Shi family who are in contact with each other. If the family education is agreed and opened to accommodate outsiders, he will not be able to live well in the future!Even if Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty trust him again, I'm afraid he will abdicate at that time.He still wants to watch the children go to school.

Jia Dairu looked outside the door one by one with his hands behind his back, and stared at a boy with eight rooms who dozed off, then said to the boy beside him, "Go and make a note for him, and tell his family that there will be two more, It won't be used anymore."

How many people are waiting to read the worthless things!

Feng Zhenlan put her son in the car, put a layer of gauze lightly on her belly, let the nanny stare at her, then took the fan and sat on the couch, said lazily, "Didn't you say you don't want to, Why are you begging me again?"

The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, "It's all because of my dark heart. I don't know that my wife is so tolerant. I thought..."

"I thought I was cruel and merciless, and I didn't care about the old people of the Wang family, and I forgot about those old subordinates who helped the master! Bah!" Feng Zhenlan spat at that person on the ground, she wanted to scold them a long time ago, but Suffering from no chance, "It's not that I don't know what you say about me behind my back, but I just don't want to pay attention to it. Your ancestors helped uncle earn merits, but our royal family has never treated you badly over the years! What kind of errands do you have in your hands? There is no layer of oil and water, just scrape off a layer, don't look at it, I don't know! Hmph!"

Because of the reminder from his sister, the master secretly wrote a secret letter to the Holy Majesty, and unless he got the Holy Majesty's written order, the capital camp was not allowed to have any transfers, and he was asked to lead the troops to meet him.When I came back again, it really turned the world upside down. After the prince was abolished, the Holy Majesty asked all the officials to recommend him, but he never asked the master. The master knew that the Holy Majesty had already made up his mind, and pretended not to know, so he just went to the safe fold.

When the new crown prince is established, everything will be clean.Those waste princes who jumped so badly were almost wiped out. Thinking of the last fight, the Ma family, the Qin family, and the Mi family didn't even go to Caishikou, they just ransacked and killed them.Considered to be the most promising, the current Prince Zhongshun doesn't let him take care of any errands, only let him put on plays and listen to music at home, and be a rich and idle king.

According to the master, although the crown prince has no ill intentions, he also appreciates his attitude of loyalty to the emperor, and still let him take the post of governor of the capital.

Being able to stand still is a great strategy!

Now that the limelight is over and the master is in power, Feng Zhenlan's waist will naturally straighten up, how can she have sex with these oily-handed servants.Besides, she finally conceived a brother, and her sister brought such a decent income, she can't do enough people in her own hands, so there is no need for them.

"Ma'am, ma'am..." The man still begged.

Feng Zhenlan's girl stepped forward and shouted, "Stupid black-hearted slaves, my wife didn't let you go at the beginning, she said she asked you to find your way, and it's not that you don't have money subsidies, but what about you, it's either that there is something wrong, or that I don’t even want to go because I’m sick. Oh, seeing that they made a lot of money at the beginning, and you want to take advantage of it, why doesn’t the world just drop money in your hands? I’m thinking about it It’s a good thing. Send you up, what will the people in the front do? If the bowl of water is not level, you people will chew your tongue and get maggots at the bottom of your mouth!” She looked at her mother-in-law and said, “Come on, there is no turning back when you shoot. The madam has a lot of things to do."

The man was sent out, and Cheng'er brought a cup of lily tea to his wife.

"Ma'am, my aunt really has a way. Those people are going to rush to beg my wife now."

Feng Zhenlan also felt that she didn't get along well with her sister-in-law before, and she didn't understand these benefits. She was a little puzzled and said, "You said before, I didn't think there was anything good about her. She hasn't changed much, and she always looks like her family. If you want this or that, you can only come here as she pleases, and I'm quite happy, don't you think she's troublesome and ignorant?"

They didn't dare to answer these words, Huai'er and Shen'er just pursed their lips and smiled.

Mrs. Qin dared to speak, she smiled and said, "That's Madam, your wish has been fulfilled, so everyone you see will get better."

"You old bastard!" Feng Zhenlan laughed, and said to herself, "It can be seen that this person cannot remain the same. Now, she has become a golden talker." She remembered something again, "I was pregnant at the time, She said that my pregnancy might be a daughter, and she wanted to tell her brother Lian in her family. But she shook her head and said, sister-in-law's pregnancy is not going to happen." She said happily, "I was a little unhappy at the time, I just thought she didn't like it I am a girl."

Shen'er joked, "Who would have imagined that the wife's belly is obviously a brother, how can she match a brother, wouldn't it be impossible!"

"Hahaha, that's right." Feng Zhenlan finished laughing, and sighed softly, "It's because I always didn't understand her heart before, and misunderstood her. If you don't do this again, you all have to remember, as long as I can't think of it, it's not thoughtful, yes You have to work harder for her." If there is no sister-in-law, who will know how the master will end up, she was pregnant at the time, can she survive?

Besides, the old department of the Wang family can have errands as much as possible, whether it is working as a bodyguard with a caravan, or just helping people deliver letters and find people in nearby places, it is my sister-in-law's idea.Which one of them is not a local tyrant, and which place is unfamiliar, as long as they are not extremely lazy, no matter where they can't earn a few taels of silver, they have errands and income, so they don't need the master to subsidize everywhere, and then start from themselves. Mr. Ren took money out.If she doesn't live up to expectations, it has nothing to do with her.

Sure enough, as my sister-in-law said, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

Seeing his wife's emotion, Mrs. Qin made some calculations and said with a smile, "It just so happens that my aunt's mother-in-law, Jia Shi Taijun, will have another birthday next month, isn't it?"

"It just reminded me that when the time comes, I'll take Brother Shu over there, bring me the roster of the Lan brand name, and let me have a look, and choose a few good things for my aunt." Feng Zhenlan waved her hands and smiled.

"Hey!"

When his wife asked, Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat, annoyed that he didn't know which talkative servant told her, but when she thought of her mother blaming him like that, she didn't know how to feel sad, and she didn't know how to answer, so she had to He continued to write on the paper with a stiff face, pretending not to hear, but unfortunately Wang Guizhi didn't know calligraphy, so he couldn't tell that his brushwork was messy and out of order.

Seeing that he followed him as if nothing had happened, Wang Guizhi's heart that was not angry at first became angry. She originally wanted to annoy him, so that she could let him do two more things to get some benefits.He didn't know that he was going to give birth prematurely, and he came back with two government doctors she wanted to invite. Although one of them was sent to Jia Min's office, he felt upright and helped her with the matter. It hurts like that, he can't help, even if he is there, he is just watching in circles, it doesn't matter if he is there or not.

But when Jia Zheng behaved like this, she was not happy.

Wang Guizhi saw that he was still writing to walk away from You Long, he didn't seem to take it to heart at all, he snorted even more heavily, he raised his foot and wanted to go to the children's room, so he simply avoided him, when he was about to turn around, he saw He sneaked a look at her, and when their eyes met, he lowered his head in a panic and continued writing.Now even the size of the handwriting was different, she thought about it, and immediately understood.

This damn tsundere!

——Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. In fact, I know that I’m wrong, and I’ll definitely make it up to you. Let me do whatever you want, but I can’t admit that you come here to coax me. I promise I won’t dare to do it again next time…

Totally ignoring what was going on with this dead star person, Wang Guizhi's original anger turned into dumbfounding. Seeing that Jia Zheng didn't want to face her question and gaze, he acted more and more like I was trying to write, and decided in his heart that this guy should It might be a Leo. Strong self-esteem always makes the lions look very noble, with a natural sense of superiority and the traits of love for performances.

No, his birthday is in November...

In the previous life, my daughter liked it, and she studied constellations as if playing with her. Could it be that he is a Capricorn?

Are Capricorns arrogant?

Wang Guizhi couldn't help but put a smile on her face. She walked up to Jia Zheng with her fan and fanned him, "What are you writing, sir? You wrote it so seriously, but your forehead is sweating." She stood on tiptoe with a fine handkerchief to wipe it for him, and seeing that even the roots of his ears were flushed, she felt that this was more fun than arguing with him.

Jia Zheng didn't know why his wife suddenly stopped being angry. Could it be that he was bored in his heart and planned to settle accounts after the fall?Forget it, he will stagger this sum first, he insisted, "I didn't write anything, thinking of the old lady's birthday, no matter what to give, I should give a picture of a hundred years of life first."

Thanks to his quick thinking, Wang Guizhi glanced at the paper with no longevity characters on it at the corner of his eyes, and followed his words, "Speaking of this matter, you might as well stay at Zhen's house for a few more days until the old lady celebrates her birthday." Let them go again, I think the old lady is very happy to have Mrs. Feng talking in front of her these few days."

"okay."

It's not that the old lady is happy, it's because you like other girls, Jia Zheng thought, he couldn't hold his own children, and he went to hug other people's children. Kid, is it fun to be with him?If he didn't want to apologize slightly, and the old lady said he was wrong, he wouldn't have listened to her.

Seeing that he really agreed, Wang Guizhi said, "Did you paint the cups and saucers in my restaurant and re-fire them?"

If you want a new style, you must first have a style that catches people's attention, and it is a delicacy that people will remember.It doesn't look like there is no corresponding bowl or plate. Can the same dish be the same when placed in a large thick porcelain bowl and on an elegant and delicate beautiful plate?That will definitely reduce or increase the social status.

"What do you want, is there any in the warehouse? You still need me to draw." Jia Zheng raised his chin slightly, knowing that although he is not good at drawing figures and birds, he is also good at fine brushwork. "Forget it, what do you say, I'll draw it for you."

"It's so kind of you!"

When Wang Guizhi thought that this troublesome matter was handed over to Jia Zheng again, he praised Jia Zheng as happily as he praised the children, and helped him roll up his cuffs so as not to get ink on him. He was about to say, tell me now Come to draw, she was picked up, he squeezed her knees apart, let her sit on the table, she whispered in surprise, "My clothes..." She just wore it today Sitting on the table like this, the ink on the paper he wrote just now was stained, but how can I wear it.

Jia Zheng only felt that his wife was naughty, she was the one who came to get close to him, and she leaned over to wipe his sweat, spoke good words, and even rolled up his clothes, but he didn't want to argue with her, "I'll take it again for you."

But Madam's goose-yellow cross-neck thong looks good on her face, delicate and white, and the fringe hanging on the forehead is also good-looking, but it is not as good as Madam's voice around his neck, which is so charming and charming. Biting him with fangs, the itching, numbness and slight pain made his heartstrings even more aroused.

* _ *

The two of them were not too hot, they lay on the bed to relieve the excitement of their bodies, and Wang Guizhi was stroking his back from the orgasm while Jia Zheng was stroking his back to calm the madness just now.

Wang Guizhi felt lazy, "Itchy, don't touch it." After she calmed down, she didn't want to talk to him very much. The world was so tight, she pinched his calf with her toes, "Don't touch it." In this regard, She really had to praise Jia Zheng's ability, maybe all the men in Jia's family were good at it.

Jia Zheng was interested in coming again, he was quietly lifting his wife's left leg, and squeezed in by himself, it was fun to be stared at by his wife, this time he gave the money slowly, so that his wife would never forget about it again .

When Mrs. Li returned to her courtyard, she was a little worried. She was afraid that Wang Guizhi would quarrel with Jia Zheng, and it would not be her fault.She wanted to ask someone to inquire, but she was afraid that the person she sent would not be able to speak, saying that she inquired about the things in the brother-in-law's room, what would it look like.

Feeling uncomfortable, seeing Jia Amnesty coming out of the room over there again, without even wearing a sweater, he pinched his ears when he got angry.

Why is she so stupid? She even advised her siblings not to be angry with her man!If you put this on yourself, how can you be angry!

"Why are you so greedy again! Tell me yourself, how many times this month, I don't count, you can fight the four of them alone, or die!" Brother Jialian has earned a great fortune, he can't die yet!

Jia Amnesty didn't know what provoked his wife's evil fire, but he also knew that his wife cared about him, and he had exhausted his sex just now, so he said cautiously, "Once, only once!"

"Bah, nasty stuff, hungry eyes, I don't know you yet, it takes half an hour every time, it's broad daylight, you won't die from the heat!" Mrs. Li got Jia She to sit on a stool, then turned around and sent someone Go and tell the four girls in the room over there, "In the future, if you make trouble with the master in full light, you will sell it."

The author has something to say: because he said that the code should be thick and long, the result is...

(It was too hot to go out, the air conditioner saved my life, don't cut off the power!)

You don't want to add more~
