[Red Mansion] Master Jia Dadi

It was nearly noon, and the croaking cicadas made people upset. Although Jia Zheng seemed calm, there was a look of impatience in his brows and eyes.The boy who was inquiring outside had already sent news that a list had been made, and the yamen servants were spreading the news everywhere at the moment.

Knowing that Jia Zheng didn't show any emotion behind him, he drank several cups of tea in succession.

In comparison, Jia Amnesty seemed much calmer. He had already sent a servant to the Yibao Pavilion to fetch a set of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum tea sets, and he was preparing to give Jia Zhu a gift later.

"Master, master." The panting servant ran in with a face full of joy, "Master, I have won!"

Joy appeared on Jia Zheng's face, but he didn't collapse. He patted the table and said, "Good! Good!"

He felt that Jia Zhu had won face for their second wife this time, so he was elated, and he couldn't help but glanced at Jia She with a little complacency in his eyes. He thought that Jia She would at least be moved if he didn't talk about jealousy at this time.

However, his face remained the same, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth, as if he was indifferent to it.

"Okay, Zhu'er, grandma knows that you are upright." Jia's mother smiled all over her face and waved to Jia Zhu: "Good boy, come here, tell grandma what you want, and grandma will answer you. "

Although Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and was a little happy, she was not like Jia Zheng. She just smiled and said, "The grandson is just selected as a scholar. Grandma doesn't need to give me anything."

He looked at Jia She hesitantly, how should he speak to resolve the grievances between uncle and father?

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Zhu approvingly, stroked his beard and said, "This is quite reasonable. Although you are a scholar, you must not be proud. Next year is the provincial examination, so you must not slack off."

Jia She frowned slightly, and glanced at Jia Zhu, whose eyes were blue. This was clearly an appearance of inner emptiness, and if he continued to read, he might have died young just like what was written in the original book. up.

Rubbing his fingers, Jia Amnesty hesitated for a moment before making a decision. Jia Zhu's nephew is a good character, much better than his parents.

"I think it's better to let Zhu'er rest for a while, and he looks so tired these days." Jia She said slowly.

Jia Zheng sneered inwardly, and he was really jealous, "Brother was joking, studying is naturally a tiring task, Zhu'er is now selected as a scholar, if you work harder, you can win honor for our Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng with a half-smile, it is true that studying is tiring, but when Jia Zheng was studying, he did not use this standard to restrain himself, now it is better to use it to restrain his son, but he is as benevolent as possible, No matter how much he said, others still regarded him as the uncle of the jealous nephew.

"Since this is the case, I won't say much. It is a good thing that Zhu'er has been selected as a scholar. Uncle will give you a set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum tea sets. I hope you can be like these four gentlemen. Demon." Jia She smiled and motioned the servant girl to pass the tea set to Jia Zhu.

Jia Zheng's face turned red immediately. What does the boss mean, "The silt is not stained, and the scum is clean and not demonic. Is this calling their second wife a silt?" !

Jia She used the teacup to cover the sneer at the corner of his mouth, that's what he meant.

"Is this the tea set from the Yibao Pavilion?" Mrs. Wang didn't know what Jia She meant, but only saw the crystal clear glass tea set in Jia Zhu's hand, with patterns of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum protruding on the outside, which was extremely elegant. She has also heard about this Yibao Pavilion, and she heard that this set is worth thousands of taels.

There are also many Western glass utensils in Jiamu's room, but she has never seen such a clear glass tea set. Tassel handed her presbyopic glasses. Yes, this set is not a bandit, is it?"

Although Jia Zheng was angry, he was also envious of the tea set in Jia Zhu's hands. Now the literati and poets in the capital are all the rage with the utensils of Yibao Pavilion, and they even have a tea fighting atmosphere.

"It's not worth anything." Jia She said casually.

He was telling the truth. Although this set was sold expensively, the cost was only a few tens of pennies.

Looking at the tea set in her hand, Jia Zhu felt mixed feelings and became more and more ashamed. The old man and his wife wanted to use the fact that he won a scholar to make his uncle jealous, but they didn't care at all and gave him such a big portion. present.

In Prince Gong's mansion, Wang Ziteng is in the study of Prince Gong's mansion. This study is so important that idlers cannot enter, but Wang Ziteng can sit in it alone at this time. It can be seen that the sixth prince is Prince Gong's love for Wang Ziteng. trust.

"Lord Wang." Prince Gong walked into the study with a smile on his face.

Wang Ziteng stood up from his chair and bowed in salute.

Tu Feng quickly helped him up, and said: "Master Wang, why do you need to be so courteous?"

However, Wang Ziteng still insisted on saluting, and then he straightened up and said: "This time, I was able to be promoted to the military governor of the Beijing camp, thanks to the help of my lord. If I can't make this ceremony, I will feel uneasy."

The smile on Tu Feng's face became real, "Emissary Wang Jiedu is being polite, this king just thinks that envoy Wang Jiedu is degrading his talents when he is an official in other places. If it is not for your own talent, this king will be ashamed no matter how hard you work. In vain."

Wang Ziteng nodded and said yes, the incident happened to the Zhen family of the third prince's family. Although the Zhen family was not punished too much, many officials from the third prince's side were involved. From here.

"It's a coincidence that Wang Jiedu is here this time. My king is worried about something recently and wants to ask someone to help me." Tu Feng said with a smile after he took a sip of tea.

Wang Ziteng was not surprised by this. Since the incident of the loyal old prince, the four princes and eight princes have no longer stood in line. This time he has fallen for the sixth prince, so he will have to hand in his nomination certificate.

Tu Feng lightly tapped the tea set in front of him with his fingers, and there was a sound like jade and stone hitting each other: "Does Wang Jiedu know about the 'Yibao Pavilion' that is now famous in the capital?"

Not long after Wang Ziteng returned to the capital, he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He looked at the tea set next to Tu Feng's hand, the green tea leaves were clearly visible, is this glass?

"Wang Jiedushi is not surprised. This Yibao Pavilion has only been opened for a short time, but it has made a lot of money. In just a few days, it has earned more than two hundred thousand taels of silver." Tu Feng smiled gently. , but a look of greed flashed across his eyes.

Naturally, Wang Ziteng would not be so stupid as to think that Prince Gong was really gossiping with him. Prince Gong's mother and concubine was Concubine Rong, and his family was just a small official. They could not provide much help to Prince Gong, no more than Prince Yu's family. The Zhen family, and Prince Gong has always been known as a courteous and virtuous corporal, the mansion has kept a lot of cleanups and staff, these are not small expenses.

"What does the lord mean..." Wang Ziteng asked thoughtfully.

Tu Feng smiled and played with the teacup in his hand, "I don't have any interest, I just want to make friends with Jia Langzhong, and hope that the king's Jiedu envoy will go with it."

Wang Ziteng was stunned for a moment, and then realized the meaning of the words - this Yibao Pavilion belonged to Marquis Jia Enhou? !
