[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

He Shen's battles have always been big, so it can't be hidden from the Rongguo Mansion.After hearing what He Shen had sent, Mrs. Wang turned around and called the girl Jin Chuan'er: "Go get some silk thread and send it to Miss Lin."

Jin Chuaner was taken aback, and said, "I just gave it away a few days ago."

"Choose some better ones to send today." Mrs. Wang twirled the beads in her hand: "She just needs them."

Jin Chuan'er didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly took Mrs. Wang's pair of cards, and went to her grandfather's library to pick silk threads.

This Daiyu is still worried.

"A handkerchief, a sachet, shoes? It's too private. I'm afraid it's not good." Daiyu rejected herself as she spoke.

Zijuan smiled and offered hot tea: "As far as I'm concerned, it's good to give anything. As long as it's a gift from a girl, even if it's a piece of jade picked at random, both the servant and the servant will be full of joy."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing and scolding her: "How can you be so perfunctory..."

Zijuan still smiled: "I'm telling the truth, girl, don't you believe me?"

While thinking, Daiyu flipped through the book in front of her.

She sat up straight suddenly: "He should also like to read books on weekdays, why don't you sew a book bag for him?"

Zijuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Girl, how can this daughter's family have the reason to sew a book bag and give it away?"

"Why not, I sewed it today, then it will be there."

Zicuckoo shook her head: "If the girl says it's there, let's have it."

It's just that after she finished speaking, she went out and laughed with Xueyan.

Not long after, Jin Chuan'er sent some silk thread.

As soon as she left, the mandarin duck came back again, and said with a smile: "Miss is free today?"

Daiyu guessed that Mother Jia was looking for her, so she sat up straight, threw away the silk thread in her hand, and said, "What did Sister Yuanyang say? If Grandma is looking for me, I will always be free."

Although she was a little reluctant to set foot in Jiamu's courtyard, she didn't want to put a word in Yuanyang's mouth.

She is not disrespectful or unfilial, so why bother to bear this charge.

Yuanyang hurriedly smiled again: "The old lady is thinking about the girl, so let's go to the old lady's yard to have dinner together today."

"Okay." Daiyu agreed.

She hasn't been close to her grandmother for some days, so it's time to visit her.

Yuanyang glanced at the book in Daiyu's hand, and thought she was reading, so she didn't want to disturb her, so she bowed and left.

Her figure was getting farther and farther away, but Daiyu didn't go to look at her. She just focused on holding a brush and drew a picture.

When it was getting late, Daiyu just started to go to Jiamu's courtyard.

It is very quiet in Jiamu's courtyard today.

When Daiyu entered, a maid greeted her and led her in.

Inside, only Jia Mu was sitting and questioning the mandarin ducks. When she saw Daiyu, Jia Mu immediately stopped her voice and said with a smile, "Yu'er is here, sit down."

It's not like the last time. The other words quoted a lot, and said that Daiyu didn't like to go out, and said that she didn't like to be stubborn, and she rarely saw her grandmother.

"Look, Yu'er's complexion is getting better and better." Jia Mu smiled, took Daiyu's hand affectionately, and brought her to her side.Then they pressed Daiyu beside her and sat down together.

"I heard that He and the servant sent a cook here. Does Yu'er still miss home now?" After finishing speaking, Mother Jia sighed and brought up Jia Min's matter again.

"Your mother was playful and laughable when she was young..."

Daiyu was no stranger to Jiamu's gesture.

When Baoyu was not brought out to talk about it before, they often talked so intimately.

At that time, Daiyu still regarded her as a good grandmother, and her words were much more affectionate.

Daiyu pursed her lower lip, knowing that her grandmother was probably trying to make up with her.

At this time, Jia Mu paused, and then turned her voice: "It's been very hot these days, and the room is too stuffy. After dinner, you pick out some breathable materials and ask the tailor to make you some new clothes." .”

Daiyu was slightly surprised, but she still accepted Jiamu's kindness.She nodded in response: "Okay."

After hearing Daiyu's response, Mother Jia was still not at ease.

If it was the past, Daiyu would have to say how much she loves her.

Mother Jia secretly sighed.

Who would have imagined that it would look like this now.The Lin'anbo mansion was gone, and the first thing she was angry about was that she had married Baoyu a wife from a declining family. She was really sorry for Baoyu.

But after that, she was even more worried about the future of Rongguo Mansion.

The one who copied the Lin'anbo Mansion was He Shen, the Minister He is now holding the power, and he is the number one person of fame.

Both the Rongguo Mansion and the Lin'an Bo Mansion are Han officials, and at this time, the better the friendship with Heshen, the more secure the future will be.

This is why Jia's mother was so anxious that she called Daiyu to her side to speak her own words.

In any case, she was Daiyu's grandmother.

This huge Rongguo Mansion is her relatives.

Temporary unhappiness is unavoidable, but there will always be a day when she will dissipate.How can there be any reason to break this blood relationship?

Thinking of this, Jiamu's expression became more gentle.

When the food was on the table, Mother Jia took Daiyu's hand and sat with her affectionately, and then asked her maid to serve Daiyu for dinner.

Daiyu's smile from the beginning to the end was a little dull.

It was really the way Mother Jia treated her, rather than treating her like a close granddaughter, it would be better to say she treated her as a distinguished guest.

Either way.

If we say that in the past, she would still feel depressed and uncomfortable because of the different attitude of the Rongguo Mansion.Now I don't feel sad at all.After all, she now has emotions to rely on.

After dinner.

A few maids and servants brought some frivolous materials.

Daiyu chose a few horses, and Jia Mu immediately sent them to a tailor to have them made.

"Don't dare to disturb grandma, I will go back now." Daiyu whispered.

Jia Mu nodded and watched Daiyu go away.

At the bottom of his heart, he thought about bringing up Jia Zheng some other day and inviting He Shen to the mansion.Let me mention Mrs. Wang again, and take Daiyu out more to be stubborn.

This summer was very comfortable for Daiyu.

Just as the supply of charcoal fires is abundant in winter, so is the supply of ice here in summer.

There are always fresh melons and fruits sent from outside the house.

She lived comfortably, and naturally stayed away from illness.Think about last year, she also fell ill due to overheating, this year she doesn't take much medicine...

This flash, it is autumn.

The ice mirror is not very useful.Daiyu was afraid of the cold, so she changed back into thicker clothes.

And He Shen was finally free.

Jia Zheng was very happy that day, and under three urgings and four invitations, He Shen finally entered the gate of Rongguo Mansion again.This was the first time that He Shen had set foot in the mansion of another official, the Marquis, after He Shen led his troops to raid the Lin'anbo Mansion.

This is undoubtedly a signal to everyone.

He Shen didn't mean to deliberately make things difficult for them.

The Lin'anbo Mansion is just hitting the gun.

After taking off his imposing court clothes and changing into casual clothes, He Shen became a handsome young man again.

Jia Zheng didn't go anywhere today, so he just had tea with He Shen.

The two sat in the hall for a while, and then someone said: "The elder is here, and he said he came to see He Shilang."

Jia Zheng didn't like his elder brother, and Jia Amnesty's various behaviors made him dislike him, but it was hard to refuse in front of He Shen at this time.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to nod, and asked the boy to invite the old man to come in.

"And the servant." Not long after, Jia She's voice was heard, and at the same time he was seen striding towards the door.

When Jia Amnesty came to him, he didn't even look at his younger brother, so he wanted to sit with He Shen.

No matter what, Jia She was the eldest brother, and he was also a prince. Jia Zheng had no choice but to stand up so that Jia She could sit down.

After Jia Amnesty sat down, he said to Heshen very affectionately, "I heard that the Lian family who makes makeup powder is very close to He Shilang... Does He Shilang buy rouge powder for Daiyu at that shop?"

He Shen had already guessed that he would come to ask, his expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "I learned some skills from their shop."

"Study craft?" Jia Amnesty was taken aback.

"Well, I make some rouge and gouache in my spare time."

Jia Amnesty was dumbfounded.

Jia Zheng was even more speechless.

Not to mention that this kind of behavior is not doing business properly in the eyes of Jia Zheng, but in the eyes of Jia She, who loves to play, it is absurd.

But when these things were placed on He Shen, it made people speechless.

When he got to Heshen's level, not to mention making rouge and gouache, even if he went to work as a carpenter or blacksmith, no one would dare to criticize him.

Others are playthings and lose their minds.

This He Shen was just playing with a toy, but he never lost his mind at all!

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng was dissatisfied with Baoyu.

If Baoyu had the ability of Heshen, he wouldn't have to worry about him in every possible way.

Jia She picked up his surprise, and said again: "I heard that the Bank of Great Qing will be opened in a few days."

"Ah."

Jia Amnesty rubbed his hands, and complimented: "He Shilang's true nature is really admirable. I also heard that there is a Qingshui Zhai in this capital, which is also He Shilang's shop."

That Qingshuizhai is a place that sells wine.

The reason why it was specifically mentioned by Jia She is because this family has a weird rule.

Drinks in Qingshuizhai are only available to two types of people.

One is a talented scholar, and the other is a beautiful girl.

All scholars are noble.

All the girls in the boudoir have their own arrogance to some extent.

Everyone wants to be a talented scholar.

Everyone wants to be that beautiful girl.

So whether you can buy wine or not has become the criterion for judging. Naturally, it immediately attracted people from Beijing and China to flock to it.

The reason why Jia She is so anxious is because he and his cronies want to buy wine from Qingshuizhai, but they can't.

He is the elder of Rongguo Mansion, but he can't buy a jug of wine, how can Jia She bear it?Then he hurriedly found He Shen and came to him.

He Shen chuckled: "If the old man wants wine, just tell me. But this wine is not easy to brew, even if I go to get it myself, it's only a pot."

Jia She couldn't help being overjoyed, seeing He Shen being as affectionate as his own son, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay! Okay! If that's the case, thank you He Shen."

After all, Jia Amnesty stayed here for a while before leaving.

Jia Amnesty went back to his courtyard, and happened to meet Mrs. Xing talking to some women in the courtyard.Jia She couldn't help being overjoyed at the moment, so he didn't dislike Mrs. Xing's stupidity, and beckoned her to his side.

He laughed and said, "From now on, let me see how the second room will overwhelm us?"

Mrs. Xing only thought that he drank too much wine, so she kept quiet.

In the past, if Jia Amnesty could not hear Mrs. Xing's voice, he would get angry.Today, it is rare to have patience, but he smiled again: "Just now I went to see He Shilang, do you know what he said. The Lian family indeed has contacts with the Shilang's mansion! This Lian family usually keeps silent , but in private, she has some skills..."

Only then did Madam Xing laugh, and she no longer disliked that Lian's family was a merchant.

"The Lian family is capable."

Jia Amnesty laughed again: "Do you think what else did Na and the servant talk about? I asked him for wine from Qingshuizhai. He said that if I want it in the future, I can tell him! Haha..."

Jia She narrowed his eyes: "This shows that He Shilang is willing to get close to our first room. Why doesn't his second room get these things? In the past, Baoyu was full of 'Daiyu', but the second room didn't care about it. Maybe that's why, He Shilang It looks close to my younger brother, but in fact... tsk."

Jia She sighed, feeling more complacent, and said to Mrs. Xing, "In the future, we should ask Yingchun to get closer to Daiyu."

Mrs. Xing agreed happily.

The more the couple talked, the happier they became, but it was rare for them to sit together and talk for a while.

As a result, Dafang remained in harmony for a while, of course, this is all for later.

At this moment, He Shen was sitting in the hall, talking about another matter with Jia Zheng.

"I have some news, and I'm not afraid to tell you." He Shen put down the teacup and said calmly.

Jia Zheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your family is going to have a happy event."

Jia Zheng's heart relaxed, and he couldn't hide his joy: "Really?"

He Shen didn't speak again.

Only then did Jia Zheng realize that he shouldn't have said this.Doesn't this mean that he doesn't trust He Shen?

Jia Zheng hurriedly laughed and said, "As soon as Brother Zhizhai mentioned a happy event, I couldn't suppress the joy in my heart."

He Shen said lightly: "Let's get ready, I think the incense case will be used soon."

"Is there an imperial decree?" Jia Zheng was shocked again, and now he felt extremely awed, without any doubts.

He Shen often followed Qianlong, since he said such a thing, it was definitely not groundless.

Jia Zheng couldn't help laughing lowly.

The Lin'anbo mansion got the imperial edict, but went to ransack the house.

But he Rongguo Mansion received the imperial decree, but he came to announce the happy event.

Jia Zheng couldn't help standing up, bowed to He Shen, and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhi Zhai, for helping me."

He Shen sat upright and accepted the ceremony openly.

Of course, such things cannot be disclosed casually, but Qianlong specially asked him to talk about them, so as to reap the goodwill of the Rongguo Mansion and make the Rongguo Mansion feel that he is one with them.

He Shen got up and said, "I won't stay any longer. I came here today to give you good news."

Jia Zheng was surprised, but then he was deeply moved, and said, "Okay, I'll send it to Brother Zhai."

The two walked out side by side.

When he was about to leave the Rongguo Mansion, someone suddenly chased him and said, "Stay with the servant."

He Shen turned his head and saw Xueyan holding a box and looking at him profusely.

He Shen stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

He already understood that it should be me that Daiyu wanted to give him, so naturally he didn't even say a word.

Xueyan hurriedly handed it over, and then took leave.

He Shen took the box and stepped out the door.

He was riding a horse when he came today, so he put the box in front of him and deliberately walked very slowly.

Along the way, many people saw his figure, and they naturally sighed in private.

Back at the Minister's Mansion, He Shen dismounted from his horse, and went straight into the study with the box in his hand.

I don't know if there is a letter hidden in it.

Thinking of this, He Shen felt that it was difficult to wait for a moment.

He opened the box very quickly.

I saw one in the box...

He Shen picked it up suspiciously.

It's a book bag.

The base is white, and the top is embroidered with plum and bamboo.

Compared with the sachet He Shen got before, this one is much more refined.

You also need to be careful with the stitching, not to mention the pattern embroidered on it.

After He Shen picked up the book bag, he caught a glimpse of a letter under it.

He Shen hurriedly put down the bookbag and opened the letter.

"...I didn't know what to do to give it away, so I made a book bag. I'm not good at painting, that painting was drawn by Xichun, and I embroidered it. I'm not very skilled."

Compared with the letters I wrote to He Shen in the past, there are more detailed words in today's letters, and the tone is more intimate, as if I was chatting with someone.

A smile appeared on He Shen's face.

He called the servant girl to grind the ink, and took up a pen to write a reply.

……

After Jia Zheng went back that day, he also told Mrs. Wang what He Shen had said.

The husband and wife couldn't help guessing what kind of happy event this was.

This wait will last for seven days.

Seven days later.

The boy rushed to the door and was panting in front of Jia Zheng.

Said: "Master Xia, the eunuch of Liugongdu, came to issue an order!"

He Shen's words had already been mentioned earlier, but at this moment Mrs. Jia Zhengwang only felt ecstasy in her heart, but there was no sign of panic.

They set up an incense table, opened the middle door, and knelt at the door to wait for the order.

In the servant's mansion, He Shen raised his head and looked out.

Looking at the time, I'm afraid the imperial decree has arrived.

The Rongguo Mansion should be overjoyed, but they don't know that no matter how great the glory is, now it is placed on the Rongguo Mansion, it is like being roasted on the fire.

Where did such a good thing happen to these bastards?
