Old things in the Red Chamber

Seeing Shi Taijun's expression, Jia Xuan swallowed the words automatically.The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Jia Baoyu was not a good match.Stand up and say goodbye to Shi Taijun, "You can rest, we still have something to do in the house, I will go back here first."

Shi Taijun was so angry that he couldn't get out, he waved his hands, and didn't send anyone to see Jia Huan off, letting Yuanyang let him go for a long time.

"They're all evil, brother Xun too, who doesn't know that Baoyu is a man of great fortune, he's like this..." Shi Taijun clutched his chest, Yuanyang quickly brought a cup of tea to Shi Taijun, and asked her to drink a few sips.

After Shi Taijun fell asleep, Mrs. Wang's maid, Jin Chuan, came to talk to the mandarin ducks. Jin Chuan's handkerchief was wrapped with a pack of melon seeds. The two of them were eating melon seeds on the porch. Seeing no one around, Jin Chuan asked Yuanyang asked, "Why did Uncle Xuan come here today?"

Yuanyang thought for a while, and told about Shi Taijun's marriage proposal, and also about Jia Huan's rejection.

Jin Chuan was not looking for mandarin ducks to grind his teeth, but now he heard the important news and hurried back to Mrs. Wang and said, "I just remembered, just now my wife asked Mr. Huan to copy the scriptures before going to bed. I haven't sent the message yet, good sister, I'll come to play with my sister when I'm free, and I'm going to Mr. Huan now."

Seeing Jin Chuan leaving in a hurry, Yuanyang was also a little uneasy, for fear that the old lady would find out about it. Although he could not serve for a few years, the old lady was the master after all, if the old lady got annoyed... …

The more Jia Xun thought about it, the more he felt that there was no need to talk about it. In terms of blood, Lin Daiyu was a cousin, and Jia Yingchun was a cousin. After all, Lin Daiyu was a guest, but Jia Xun still remembered that Lin Daiyu was lonely after her uncle in the south left. Look helpless.It doesn't make sense to just go to Lin Daiyu's place when Jia Yingchun was looking for her in-law's house, and just fool her around.Finding a husband's family for Lin Daiyu is more thoughtful than finding a husband's family for Jia Yingchun. After all, Lin Daiyu married with her family property. cry.

That Jia Baoyu is definitely not a good match.Rongguo Mansion is not Lin Daiyu's home either.

I was thinking about this while riding a horse, and I felt that something seemed to be flying towards me. I reached out to grab it, and what I pinched was a red fruit, which looked excellent, plump and juicy.

There was a burst of applause in the restaurant next to it, and some aristocratic sons were shouting at the window. Jia Huan was not happy at first, but when he was disturbed like this, he became angry instantly, but he grew up on the battlefield and knew how to feel happy and angry. Don't show it to the outside, look up with a calm face, to see which daring guy is throwing fruit at will by using himself as a juggler.

"Brother Xun." Jia Baoyu waved from the window, with a clean and pure smile on his face.

Someone came down from the restaurant a long time ago, and they invited Jia Xun to go upstairs for a drink. There are some princes and grandsons in there. If you drink with people here, you must go back at night."

Following a few people tugging and tugging, they went up to the second floor.

The second floor has been cleared out, there are a few actors standing there, and a few mistresses who are removing the leftover seats and bringing up another table.

Everyone bowed their hands and greeted, whether they had seen it or not, there was a complete collection of people from clan children to merchants.According to their respective family backgrounds, everyone sat down again.

When everyone was seated, the actors continued to sing the play just now. For a while, everyone toasted frequently, and some even rushed to other people's tables to toast. Jia Huan sometimes drank and sometimes didn't drink, that's all. After spending nearly a day, seeing that few people were awake, I asked Xiaoer to call Jia Baoyu's servants up and send Jia Baoyu back. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Xiaoer came to report, saying how many of Jia Erye's servants Chang Sui was already drunk.

Jia Xun had no choice but to ask his regular attendant to send Jia Baoyu away. These sons and boys planned to change places and then were drunk and dreamy. They pulled Jia Baoyu and refused to let him go. No, the girls in Jinxiufang won’t let us in, no, Brother Jia can’t leave.”

There is also Xue Pan on the side, "I have already handed over the money, everyone just relax and play, Jinxiufang will not accept outside customers today."

At this moment, Jia Xun really wanted to throw Jia Baoyu away.You're just such a swinger who still wants to marry my cousin, so in your next life.

Thinking so in my heart, I did the same with my hands, shoved Baoyu on the stool, and went downstairs by myself, ignoring someone shouting loudly behind, and said to Xia Zhi, "Find a little beggar and go to Rongguo Mansion, and tell the door that they are Bao Er. What's the matter, if Master Jia wants to take care of it, he will naturally take him back, if he doesn't want to take care of it, why should I, a relative from outside the country, worry about it."

Jia Xuan went back to take a bath and returned to the backyard. Mrs. Tong went out to be a guest today. Lin Daiyu learned how to play chess from Nanny Jin, and the little girl Xuaner came to her mother.Qi Jing'an was naturally jealous of her daughter, so she took a few small hydrangeas to make her happy, and saw her husband come in with his wet hair loose.

Qi Jing'an's belly was already showing, and she was holding a cloth towel clumsily to wipe his hair, but Jia Huan hurriedly stopped her, and asked a few maidservants with good hands and feet to come over, and lay on the couch by herself, putting her daughter on her belly to coax her .Several servant girls squatted on the ground to wipe his hair.

"When I went to the mansion over there, what did the old lady say?" Qi Jing'an pushed the plate forward, the little girl was very greedy, she looked at the plate with her small eyes, and wanted to eat.

"Eat, eat less, we'll finish our meal later."

Xuan'er brought the plate over, put it on her father's chest, and sat on her father's hard belly, eating snacks happily.

Jia Huan supported her daughter's back with her hands, "What else can I say, isn't it just..."

Jia Huan didn't go on, the less people know about it, the better.

"Are you talking about the garden?" Qi Jing'an thought she had guessed it. "I heard that several garden repair companies in Kyoto are in debt. The courtyard of Concubine Xian's natal family was originally planned to build more than 300 houses, but now it has been built." Half of the houses have more than 100 houses, and the family’s wealth is unsustainable. I heard that I am thinking of borrowing money. I also heard that the blueprints of Rongguo Mansion, the imperial concubine’s natal family, are the most exquisite and unparalleled. The inside is more like a big garden, which is quite the southern style Interesting, are you thinking of borrowing money now?"

"Well, right, anyway, their old lady didn't say it clearly." Jia Huan was vague.

"Let me say that it's useless to borrow money from our family. Others don't know about our family's money, but the Rongguo Mansion doesn't know? It has already filled the gap of the ancestors. I think their old ladies don't know about it. I'm ashamed to talk about borrowing money. But, sir," Qi Jing'an saw that her husband's hair was no longer dripping, so she asked the maids to take Xuan'er away and lead her to run and dance in the yard, fearing that she would accumulate food and wait until there was no one in the house. , then whispered, "I think their servants, every time they come to pick up Sister Lin, their eyes are always aimed at our decorations, especially those housekeepers in their family, they can't wait to open their eyes into big money. I once told my housemate, 'This tent is worth a lot of money, take it outside, can't you buy it without 200 taels of silver?'"

"Don't worry about them, they are them, we are us. They are willing to spend money to buy a piece of fun, let's take a look. By the way, I will sleep for a while. If my father is under the office, let me know. I have something to say to him say."

Time has entered July, and the fetus in Concubine Jia's belly has been more than seven months, because Empress Gu is practicing in the palace, so the concubines are not required to greet each other every day, and the fourth concubine dare not force the concubines in the palace to greet herself every day , the low-ranking concubines in the harem lived a little more comfortably.

Concubine Jia has been busy making small clothes for the little guy in her belly recently. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs provides them, it is more comfortable to make close-fitting clothes by herself. The few cotton cloths that entered the palace with Jia Yingchun back then are the best Songjiang cotton cloth , very soft, the idea at the time was to wear it as a middle coat.

Make a good one, wash and dry the licorice to put away these clothes, and make the remaining rags into diapers.

The sun was shining brightly, the emperor's carriage was parked outside the Pixiang Hall, and the emperor came in with a straight face.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Jia Bin quickly stood up, frightened and at a loss, and stammered to greet him.Two taels of cold ice could be scraped off the emperor's face, Jia Bin dared not look directly at it.

"Hong Tao, show Bin Jia, do you recognize what's in the box?"

Licorice quickly opened the box, and inside was a gold hairpin from the Pearl, Jia Yingchun trembled in fright.

"Do you recognize it?"

Jia Yingchun nodded with a pale face. "emperor……"

The emperor knocked the box in Licorice's arms to the ground with a slap, "I don't see how capable you are..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is not our empress's belongings. Our maidservant has recounted the belongings of our empress yesterday, and they are placed in our cabinet. If you bring them, you will bring them immediately."

Jia Yingchun hugged her stomach, her face was pale, enduring the pain in her stomach, she could hardly stand still.When the emperor saw it, he hurriedly sent someone to announce the imperial physician to come over, and asked Hong Tao to help her sit on the couch.Licorice ran over with a box in his arms. After opening it, the two pearl hairpins were almost identical.

The emperor took a good look at the one with licorice. There was no mark on the top, bottom, left, and right, but the one he brought was engraved with Jia Yingchun's boudoir name.

"Hurry up and help Aifei to lie down on the bed, did she have a fetal gas, Hong Tao, and then ask someone to urge the imperial physician."

Several maids helped Jia Yingchun to go to the inner room. The emperor sat on the couch and looked at it with two pearl hairpins. Not long ago, he said that the Jia family could give Jia concubine something good as a dowry. Now it seems that Rongguo Mansion still has some skills, and it can get exactly the same thing.Such a good-looking Dongzhu Jia Gu was able to get it because he used to be in the Northland. Dongzhu must pass through the Northland from the East China Sea to the Central Plains.After arriving in the capital, there are not many houses that can't afford Dongzhu.Concubine Jia became pregnant not long after she entered the palace, and the guards here are so strict that it is difficult to bring in a piece of paper, let alone pass such an obvious pearl hairpin. Therefore, it is she who is in Concubine Jia's hand. My own, and the one I brought, hmph...

Licorice came out from the inner room and knelt at the emperor's feet. The emperor threw the pearl hairpin into the box and asked her, "Has anyone seen your master's hairpin?"

"When you go back to the emperor, you don't see many people, except for the wife, grandma and Miss Biao of Zhongwuhou's mansion, and the masters of Rongguo mansion. Because it is too expensive, the master almost never takes it out. By the master's side, take it out and play with it if it's okay."

"Understood, you take good care of Concubine Jia. Later, the imperial physician will come to ask for pulse to see if the fetus is moving. Tell Concubine Jia, I have something to do, come back at night."

He signaled Hong Tao to hug the two hairpins, and went out and sat in the driving car, still thinking, "It is rumored that the loyal prince took this hairpin as a token, and with it he could go to the south of the Yangtze River to withdraw 10 taels of silver and two thousand armors. It's not true either. Jia Yuanchun...knows a lot."
