Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Mother Zhen got a headache when she heard the words, and said with a sneer, "You can't even look down on Lan Geer's family and character, so it's possible that you really want to recruit a royal son-in-law?!"

My family knows their own family affairs. Although the Zhen family is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, in fact, it has only been in the past twenty years or so. The emperor promoted the Zhen family vigorously because of her affection as a wet nurse. Only after her daughter was sent to the palace did she have the glory and wealth of these years. Compared with those aristocratic families, the Zhen family is just a newly prosperous family.

Since the new emperor came to the throne, their family's influence in the court has been greatly reduced, and the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually lost control. If the emperor is still here, I am afraid that they will not even be able to keep their last dignity.

Now although the emperor is unwilling to delegate power, but after all he is old, the new emperor is in the prime of life and thoughtful. In the past few years, he has promoted talents without sticking to one pattern, and there are already many fans in the court.

However, the Jia family was a duke of the state because of meritorious service, and it has prospered for nearly a hundred years. Although it has gradually declined in recent years, the camels are bigger than horses, and there are still many old Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua troops in the army. Wang and Bagong are all connected and related, one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged.

Needless to say, Wang Ziteng has a high position and authority, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor. Although Lin Ruhai has retired, many of them have served as officials in the same year. Moreover, the Lin family has been in power for generations, with a deep foundation, and the connections in their hands should not be underestimated.

Although Zhen Jia and his family are old relatives, it has been decades since their last marriage, and they have gradually drifted apart over the years, so she moved to get married again.

Jia Lan's character and talent are outstanding in everything, and his family background is also suitable. He has all four corners, and Feng's even looks down on him!

Feng Shi was dissatisfied, but seeing that Mother Zhen's expression was different from before, she didn't dare to speak back, so she just lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing Feng's still disapproving expression, Mother Zhen became more and more annoyed, and said with a sneer, "Are you still not convinced? If that's the case, leave the house affairs to Rui's daughter-in-law tomorrow, and you go back to my room so I can reflect on myself!"

Mrs. Feng didn't expect that Zhen's mother would take away her power of housekeeper, so she panicked and begged: "Old ancestor, calm down, I know I was wrong. I also love my daughter very much, so I was confused for a while, please forgive me." That's what happened to me."

Zhen Rong was at a loss at the beginning, and after listening to it for a long time, he understood the whole story. He cast a glance at the tearful Feng Shi, and couldn't help feeling helpless. Feng Shi is the grandniece of the old lady's natal family. Big, the old lady loves too much, and her granddaughter also

Not bad.

Later, they got married, and they were both husband and wife and cousins. Because of this relationship, Zhen Rong also maintained a lot on weekdays. Feng Shi was pampered and grew up since childhood, and he was used to being flattered over the years. Gao, usually he seems to act properly, but he never thought that he was clever in small things but confused in big things.

Although Zhen Rong was displeased, she was his wife who had been with her for many years, so she had to intercede if she got angry again, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Don't be upset, old lady, although Feng is confused, what she said is not unreasonable. While eating, I deliberately inquired about it, it's better to slow down the marriage."

Mother Zhen was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean?"

Zhen Rong said: "Grandson found out some news today, which is related to the Rong Mansion..."

He paused at this point, quietly winked at Feng Shi, and said: "It's not something you can listen to when it comes to government affairs, but today you were the one who was rude first, so how to make amends is up to you to watch."

Feng Shi understood, wiped away tears and said: "I'll go back and prepare a generous gift, and send it to Lan Geer tomorrow morning."

Mother Zhen didn't know about their eyebrows and eye lawsuits, but after all, Mrs. Feng was from her natal family. After beating her a bit, she waved her hand and said to Mrs. Feng, "It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than enough to fail, so don't go down!"

Feng Shi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and hurriedly took the opportunity to retreat.

Only then did Zhen Rong elaborate on the information he had obtained: "Before, we all thought that the Jia family surrendered to the present with the life of the princess, but it is not true. Although the Ning family is now alienated from the king of Ning, they secretly But they have very close contacts, and have not turned against each other because of this matter."

Zhen's mother was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Is this really true?"

Zhen Rong said: "This is what Jia Lian's confidant said when he was drunk. Jia Lian also slipped his tongue during the conversation. Most likely, he can't be wrong."

Zhen Rong was thoughtful and very good at planning, so he ordered someone to gossip with Jia Lian's confidant, Zhao'er, over wine, and toasted frequently at the banquet. Moreover, because the two families are old relatives and have never set up defenses, they have been caught with a lot of news inadvertently.

Mother Zhen pondered for a long time after hearing the words, and said: "It seems that the Jia family has not changed their ways, and they are hiding it well."

King Ningjun is the eldest son of the abolished prince. Although the abolished prince died, he left behind a lot of contacts. The Rongning and Ning two houses used to belong to the abolished prince's lineage, and even married a foreign woman as the grandson. The death of the Jia family was to show their loyalty to the present, but they did not expect that they were repairing plank roads openly and secretly keeping Chencang.

Zhen Rong said: "This is a matter for us

It may not be a bad thing, the one who should be worried now is the one in the palace, the Rongning Second Mansion has many old troops in the army, and today's Pingan Prefecture Jiedu envoy Sun Yanshou was from Rongguo Duke Jia Daishan's subordinates. "

The Zhen family is now in a dilemma. Their family and the fifteen princes are already tied to the same boat. Even if they want to retreat, they cannot let them go. Now they can only fight to see if they can win.

It has only been a few years since he was enthroned, but Ning Junwang has been in business for more than ten years, with a deep foundation. If two tigers fight, one will be injured. The Zhen family and the fifteen princes only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits. .

Mother Zhen thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You are right, there is really no need to rush to get married with the Rong Mansion, anyway, Brother Lan is still young, and Yaoer is only eight years old, so it doesn't matter if you wait a few years." After thinking about it, she said : "You write a letter to your uncle tomorrow, and ask him to investigate this matter."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Rong agreed, and went to cook without mentioning it.

But it is said that Jia Lan left Zhen's house, went to pay homage to a teacher and made some old friends.

Although Jia Wang Xueshi's direct lineage has moved to the capital, the family is still in Jinling, as well as Li Shouzhong's Li family in Jinling, etc. He has made up his mind to leave as soon as possible, and all relatives and friends must visit and say goodbye one by one.

Every family kept a light meal and sent some earthen instruments to wrap around. It took two or three days to finish.

Jia Lian had already ordered people to pack their bags and hired a big boat. On the morning of the 23rd, they boarded the boat and set off for Gusu.

Besides, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were at home, thinking about Jia Lan all the time. After Duanyang, he received a letter from Li Wan, saying that the exam was only at the beginning of autumn, and he could not return to Beijing until the beginning of winter.

That day, I was sitting with Jia's mother, saying that Brother Lang didn't know if he had passed the exam, when suddenly he heard a commotion outside the gate, Mrs. Wang frowned suddenly, and was about to ask the girls to ask questions, when she saw Jia Zheng holding a printed red card Newspaper, with a smile on his always serious face, said as soon as he entered the door: "The old lady is overjoyed! Brother Lang has won!"

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were overjoyed when they heard this. They took the newspaper and handed it to Tanchun for her to read.Tanchun read: "I ordered the admiral Jinling and other departments to study politics and Li, and take the No. 12 Wentong Jialan who passed the re-examination."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room immediately came forward to kowtow to congratulate. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang laughed from ear to ear. At that moment, Jia Mu rewarded 20 taels of newspaper silver, and Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng rewarded another [-] taels, two taels. The boy thanked him happily and left.

After a while, the news of Jia Lan's selection as a scholar spread throughout the mansion, and everyone from the upper and lower levels came to congratulate him.

Mrs. Wang was all smiles, and told Sister Feng to reward each of them with two months' money.

A few days ago, Jia's mother occasionally felt the wind and cold.

If you are a little lazy, you might as well get the good news today, and you will feel refreshed immediately, and all your illnesses will disappear, and you will say with a smile: "I am very happy today. Sample dishes, prepare a few fruit dishes, open a jar of old wine, let's have a drink tonight and talk, and tomorrow we will go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, thank the Bodhisattva for blessing."

When everyone heard about it, they were all overjoyed.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "The old lady is in good health. I have this happy event again today, and I am happy in my heart. I should have invited the old lady for this Donger, so why should the old lady spend money?"

Aunt Xue laughed hurriedly: "This thing, let me invite the old lady."

You Shi laughed and said: "How can I ask my aunt to pay for it? This is a great joy for our Jia family. It is only right for the old lady to eat what I eat."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "You don't need to argue, the old lady is happy today, but how much money can I spend on adding a few dishes, having a glass of wine and talking? If you want to congratulate your wife, you must prepare a serious banquet for the old lady." That’s the truth. What’s the point of everyone’s fight for the host who’s paying so much money?”

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "What Feng girl said is very true. Let's invite the old lady one by one after reading the scriptures."

Jia Mu said with a smile: "Whoever wants you to invite, just ask Feng girl to clean up a table and invite me some other day."

Sister Feng wanted to make fun of it, and when she heard the words, she made a sad look on purpose, touched her purse and sighed, "If you don't pay attention, the old lady will miss you. You really shot yourself in the foot!"

Everyone who said it laughed, and Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Young girl Feng is really stingy, but it's just a table of wine and food, and she can spend a few taels of silver, that's all."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "My aunt doesn't know, the old lady is happy now, and later she said that the food is not delicious, so she tricked me to take out three or four times the seeds to make up for it secretly, I'm still dreaming! "

Jia Mu couldn't help laughing, pointed at Sister Feng and said with a smile: "You ghost, you think everyone is as narrow as you!"

Everyone laughed and said, "No matter how clever Feng is, she can't escape the old lady's Wuzhi Mountain!"

After joking for a while, Sister Feng ordered Ping'er to take 20 taels of silver, and went out to tell the kitchen to clean up the fruits and vegetables and prepare the noodles for the table. Ping'er agreed and took the money to do it.

But in half a day, relatives and friends from all over the place got the news, and they all came to say congratulations. Jia's mother became more and more joyful, and ordered Sister Feng to hold a banquet in honor of them.

Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others greeted in the front yard, and everyone from the top to the bottom was full of joy and smiling.

Satisfied, Jia Amnesty drank a few glasses of wine and was beaten by the guests.

The guests were flattered, as if they had won the prize of their own grandson, and said loudly: "I said that Brother Lang is not a thing in the pool, so why is it surprising that he is a scholar? In the future, you will come out on top and be named on the gold list. Conquer my vision!"

Jia Zheng was really happy when he heard the words, but he was very humble on the face, and said: "Brother is too famous, this child is still young, let's see it later!"

Everyone laughed and said: "Why should the government be too modest, my brother is so capable at such a young age, and the future is limitless. When the champion comes back, we will also enjoy some glory."

Jia Zheng became more and more joyful, and said with a smile, "I would like to borrow your good words."

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, everyone ordered to drink, and it was only after the end of the second watch that they dispersed.

Not to mention all the things in the capital, besides, Jia Lan said goodbye to relatives and friends in Jinling, and the group returned to Gusu by boat.

Li Wan was also thinking about Lan Geer, talking with Danju, counting the date of his return, when Suyun suddenly heard Suyun say with a smile: "A guest is here."

Looking up, I saw Zicuckoo coming into the courtyard through the screen window, followed by two women.

Speaking of coming in, Zijuan greeted Li Wan first, then pointed to the two filigree boxes in the mother-in-law's hand and said: "A lot of cherries and mulberries were sent from the village today, and the girl sent me to bring them to grandma. Try something new."

Suyun stepped forward to pick it up, and Li Wan smiled and said, "I've been thinking about some fresh fruit for the past two days, go back and thank Sister Lin for me."

While speaking, the little girl brought tea and fruit to order, and Zijuan sat on the twig with a slanted body.

Li Wan asked: "I'm going to Beijing next month, how is your girl's things packed, is there anything missing?"

The author has something to say: the days of freedom are over, it’s time to go back to Jia’s mansion and start the plot~
