Infrastructure masters in the red building

Jia Fang happened to be with Jia Amnesty when Mrs. Shi's people came to invite him.

Jia Amnesty was very sad and sighed beside Jia Fang.Jia Fang thought it was funny: "Brother, how can you watch while all the servants in the whole family are pushing Pai Gow and playing horse hanging?"

According to the rules of the Rong Mansion, children are usually prohibited from gambling, but during the Chinese New Year, there is no such taboo.

Jia She frowned: "Third brother, you don't know that your sister-in-law has been in a bad mood for the past two days, always saying that she is upset, and the other one just turned over the card table...Anyway, I dare not make a mistake. "

As he spoke, he turned to look at Jia Fang: "Brother, if someone from your sister-in-law asks about it, you must testify to me. I really haven't wiped the pai gow anymore."

Jia Fang agreed, feeling amused: Although Jia Amnesty in the original book of the Red Chamber was quite unbearable, he still loved his wife very much at this time, and he was able to endure such a heavy addiction to cards in order to take care of Zhang's feelings.

Thinking of this, Jia Fang couldn't help feeling a little bit sad: It is said that loving couples can't end, but in the original book, Jia She became a widower, and then married Xing's house-filling family.He didn't want this to happen.

At this time, people from Rongxi Hall came, and they passed on the words of the people from the Beijing Palace.This time it was Jia Fang's turn to be surprised: "Me?"

He doesn't have any friendship with Beijing Palace, what's going on?

Urged by Mrs. Shi's mother-in-law, Jia Fang hurriedly changed into the big clothes for meeting guests, and followed them to Rongxi Hall.When he saw Mrs. Shi for the first time, he felt that the eyes of the other party could almost eat people.

But in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Shi's expression was extraordinarily warm, like a spring breeze, almost making Jia Fang feel that he was dazzled just now.

"Someone came from the Beijing Prince's Mansion, saying they brought you a gift. They are waiting for an answer." Mrs. Shi turned her mouth towards the two women who were standing with folded hands in the corner of the room.

When Jia Fang saw the two, he nodded his head in greeting, accepted a box presented by the visitor, and said a few polite words: "I have never met the prince, why should I give you a gift?"

Mrs. Shi interjected from behind: "That's right, you didn't make a mistake, did you?"

The two women paid no attention to her, but bowed their knees to Jia Fang, and one of the women said respectfully: "I have a word, thanks to my son, I have benefited a lot the day before yesterday, and a small reward is not enough to respect."

Jia Fang almost wanted to scratch his head: Who is the other party? Where did he come from to benefit the other party? Don’t make a mistake, right?

Seeing Jia Fang's confused face, the talking woman smiled clearly: "The prince said, the third master will go back and open this box, and he will know it at a glance."

Jia Fang knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he lowered his head and grabbed the pouch he was wearing, which contained a piece of broken silver of about two or three renminbi. go!"

The two women looked at each other, bowed and took a step back, one of them said: "Don't dare to give me a generous gift." The other looked up at Mrs. Shi, and said: "Mrs. Receive the son's reward?"

Mrs. Shi's complexion suddenly turned ugly again, and in a blink of an eye it changed into a spring breeze again.But Jia Fang could see that Mrs. Shi was holding back her anger and asking people to reward the two wives.He knew that he might have made a mistake just now, so before the two wives left, he quickly resigned and went back to find Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty remained where he was, and the person who comforted him was replaced by Jia Min.

Seeing Jia Fang approaching, Jia Min didn't say much, just glanced at Jia Fang lightly, turned around and left.Jia Fang's impression of Jia Min still stays in the "righteousness" and "suppression of righteousness" that day, but from the memory of the original owner, we can know that the relationship between the original owner and this younger sister is not far or close, and the other party is the daughter of the public house, the jewel in the palm , the original owner is a bastard, so naturally there is no intersection.

Jia Amnesty was still listless, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or complaining to Jia Fang: "The eldest sister said that the cooking in the big kitchen during the New Year's Day is really too greasy, and even she has no appetite. To be honest. , eat these all day long, even I have no appetite..."

In fact, Jia Fang has had enough of the food in the mansion these few days. Every day is full of big fish and meat, which is greasy and has no seasoning.Fortunately, Sun's kimchi has been pickled, sour, fragrant and refreshing, and it can be eaten with rice to relieve greasy.Jia Fang thought about turning around and asking someone to send a small jar to Jia Amnesty Court and Jia Min.

Jia Amnesty complained for a while, only to remember that Jia Fang had accepted the ceremony from the Beijing Palace, and immediately changed his face again, approaching him in a very gossiping way, and asked Jia Fang: "My son, tell me the truth, how did you hook up with me?" Those who went to the Beijing Prince's Mansion?"

Jia Fang: "My little brother is also at a loss!"

He simply opened the box together with Jia She, only to find that there was only a Duan inkstone and a Qingtian stone seal inside.This seal is carved with seawater patterns, from bottom to top, the embossed seawater patterns become three-dimensional waves, which just form a seal button, and the seal button is tied with an azure-colored web, so it should be wearable.

Jia Fang picked up the seal and played with it, and suddenly found that the seal was engraved with words, Han Li Yang Wen, Jia Fang couldn't help but read out: "Heaven and Life Seal".

"Tianyiyi?" Jia She raised his eyebrows and asked, "Third brother, do you recognize the King of Beijing?"

Jia Fang hurriedly asked, "How do you say?"

Jia She replied: "The King of Beijing calls himself 'Tianyisheng', and he has done a lot of business under this name. Many people in Beijing know it."

Jia Fang suddenly had an inspiration and asked, "Is the surname of Prince Beijing Shui?"

There is water in the sky, and [-]% in the earth - it is said in "Book of Changes", it is no wonder that King Beijing Jing gave himself such a name.

Jia She nodded: "That's right, the old King Beijing passed away seven or eight years ago. Because of his outstanding meritorious service, the son was not degraded and became the king. At that time, the son was still young and didn't care much about political affairs. Who would have thought that he is still the king now?" He doesn't get involved in government affairs, but his business is booming. Several large commercial firms in the country are owned by him, and he can be regarded as wealthy. I remember that he has a very strange workshop called, called..."

"Baigongfang!" Jia Fang added.

Jia Amnesty nodded excitedly: "That's right, it's Baigongfang."

"This little prince looks greedy for money, but he is actually very cautious. The business he does is the daily food of the people, such as salt and iron. He doesn't touch it at all." Jia Amnesty himself has no official position and has always been busy. He handles all kinds of general affairs in the Rong Mansion, but he was born in the Duke's Mansion, so his political sense is still very keen, "So even though his business is big, the Holy One is still very satisfied with him, let him do what he wants."

Jia Fang was a little dazed, and asked Jia Amnesty: "What is the name of this prince? How old is he?"

Jia Amnesty snapped his fingers, "It's called Shui Xian, and he's about the same age as the second child, about sixteen or seventeen."

Jia Fang didn't listen to the truth: what... narcissus?

The nickname left a deep impression on him, so that for a long time after that, he thought he was dealing with a daffodil-like yuppie.

Now that he has a clue about "Tianyisheng", Jia Fang plans to chase after Jia She to ask about Huifangyuan.

Who would have thought that Jia She suddenly slapped the back of the head, jumped up and grabbed Jia Fang's arm, and walked away, saying as he walked, "Oops, third child. I have to show you the courtyard that I want to renovate for you. "

As Jia She walked away, he babbled and said, "You think well of my brother, and you are willing to cover it up for my brother. My brother accepts your love, but my brother still has to do enough superficial work..."

Jia Fang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, how could he put "superficial skills" so bluntly?

Jia Amnesty didn't care: "When Dad came back, he asked, you said you want to take what Fang Geer meant, so what does Fang Geer mean? Do you want to repaint the walls, or change all the furniture— —If I can’t answer, Dad will kick me as soon as I raise my foot.”

Jia Fang: ...

Jia Amnesty pulled Jia Fang all the way to the courtyard behind Rongxi Hall with a big screen wall in front of the door, opened the door and took Jia in.

This small courtyard is not as good as Jia Fang's "three-in-one courtyard". It is a standard four-in-one courtyard with three main rooms and side rooms on each side.Judging from the layout, the three main rooms are used for receiving guests, and the two side rooms are the real living places.There are two wing rooms in the courtyard, east and west, and an inverted room in the south, with a half-open door, and a large screen wall with powder-painted walls outside the door.

Everywhere is completely in line with the description in the original book "Red Mansion", this should be the small courtyard where Jia She's son lived in the future.

Jia Fang folded his hands behind his back, looked around the yard, came out and said to Jia She who was waiting in the yard, "Brother, in my opinion, don't do such superficial tricks."

Jia Amnesty didn't come back to his senses: "What? What did you say?"

Jia Fang raised his voice: "I mean, what's the point of renovating it? The main house here is going to collapse tomorrow!"
