Stealing Fragrance and Stealing Jade in the Red Chamber

Jia Lang and Jia Lian didn't wear official uniforms, they were simply a piece of clothing, without arrogance or humility, they were generous enough to be embraced by servants of the Rongguo Mansion and enter Jia's house.

After greeting the old lady and Jia Amnesty, a banquet was held and the whole family had a family dinner together.

This time, the man is in the main seat, the woman is on the right, and there is a long curtain in the middle.

Jia Lian and Jia Lang worked as officials outside for more than half a year. Although the time was not long, every day was very fulfilling.

Returning home suddenly, looking at the bustling streets, and congratulating the servants who kept congratulating them, it really feels like a world away.

Jia Lian was a little swayed by a few flattering mouths, and she was shining brightly when she walked.Even Wang Xifeng, who has always been strong, is gentle and pleasant to him on such occasions.

But when Jia Lian looked back and saw Jia Lang's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his heart tightened immediately, and his feet hit the ground immediately.

Although he is now of a higher rank than Jia Lang, no one who really sees the undercurrent in the Qing court takes Jia Lian seriously.What happened in the past six months, many people even saw it more clearly than Jia Lian.

On the night when he received the imperial decree, Jia Lang once said a word to Jia Lian, which made him unforgettable - the higher the climb, the worse the death when falling down.

After Jia Lang and Jia Lang returned to the palace to report on their duties, they had a one-month vacation.

The two of them have really worked hard for the past six months, and they don't want to do anything when they get home, they just want to lie in bed and have a good rest.

But some people just can't understand their thoughts.

Piles of invitation letters floated like snowflakes all over Jia's mansion, some of which Jia Amnesty and Jia's mother could still call the shots, and some even they couldn't call the shots.

Jia Lang refused all invitations, and went directly to the hot spring villa Yuan Heng gave him to recuperate.

But Jia Lian responded to several invitations, first went to Wang's house, and then went to the houses of several ministers with whom he would deal with in the future.Others, as long as they can't get along, don't go.

Jia Lang and Jia Lian unanimously showed an "arrogant" attitude to the outside world, which made many people in official circles quite critical.For these voices, Jia Lang didn't even bother to look at them, so that Jia Lian didn't have to worry, they were just clowns.

People who can't see the situation clearly like this can only be people who are holding back, it is better not to make friends.

After receiving his mother's call, Jia Lang reluctantly rushed back to Jia's mansion from the hot spring pool. When he entered the main hall, he was really surprised to see Lin Ruhai sitting on the main seat.

Seeing that Jia Lang was busy in the world, his mother rushed to meet him.After muttering a few words, Jia Lang knew that today Jia and Lin's two families were going to discuss his marriage with Lin Daiyu.

In fact, the two of them had already exchanged tokens, and Jia Lang had already regarded Lin Daiyu as his fiancée. He thought that the next discussion would be their marriage.

In fact, many people are like this, but their high-ranking families pay attention to face, so the etiquette is cumbersome and the time is several times longer.

Although Jia Lang is the protagonist of this engagement, he can only sit at the bottom right now, quietly listening to what the elders say.

His mother was very happy and looked at him dotingly while talking.

Jia Lian also looked like someone who had come here, condescending, while looking at him teasingly with winking eyes.

The rare and peaceful atmosphere of the Jia family made Jia Lang a little uncomfortable.

This discussion lasted from noon to night, and they didn't tell Jia Lang the last day and engagement itinerary until the dinner was over.

"Come on, Lang'er, come to my side." As the eldest mother of Jia, she is the most qualified to make a summary.

"Old ancestor." Jia Lang called out respectfully.

"I thought you could stay in Beijing for a few more years honestly when you come back this time. Now that you are going out again, you don't have much time to stay in Beijing. We want to make a decision first, and we will marry when you return to Beijing next time." Marriage.

The Jia family and the Lin family are relatives, and you and Daiyu are even more intimate. This ceremony should not be shabby.You and sister Lin are also childhood sweethearts, so you can't treat them poorly.

This dowry is arranged by your mother. If you have any intentions to send it, just tell your mother.The day of door-to-door marriage proposal was set five days later, and that day was the best day of the year.

Go, say hello to your Uncle Lin. Seeing Jia Lang's ignorant appearance, Jia's mother realized that Jia Lang was just a boy.

"Jia Lang pays homage to father-in-law." Jia Lang bowed three times and kowtowed to Lin Ruhai.

"Okay, okay." Lin Ruhai was very happy to see Jia Lang being so solemn, and shouted hello again and again.

Following Lin Ruhai's departure, the marriage of the daughter of the Lin family and the gifted scholar of the Jia family immediately spread throughout the Jin Dynasty.Lin Ruhai was born in Tanhua, although he has not been in the Beijing circle for many years, but this time he came back and immediately made a deeper impression.

Jia Lang has always used his presence in the Beijing circle. It’s fine for him to use his presence in a frenzied manner. The new emperor is also very eager to help him gain his prestige.

Nowadays, the appearance of a man and a woman has become a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys, that is, a person who is full of enthusiasm and froth.

"Miss, I'm very happy." Yun Wen jumped to the door of Lin Daiyu's room when she heard the news, but she didn't dare to go any further.

Originally, he forgot the rules when he was excited, and was punished several times by Sangzhu, and his voice still raised several pitches when he was excited, but he didn't dare to break into it.

"What's the matter, you're yelling again?" Sang Zhu opened the curtain to let Yun Wen in.

"Miss, it's a very happy event. The emperor gave you and my uncle a marriage, and also rewarded you with many things, and there is a big house." Yun Wen poured out all the words as soon as she entered the room.

Lin Daiyu heard that the word "gift marriage" was flushed with red, and also heard that a house was bestowed, and she was a little confused.

"The emperor bestowed a huge mansion this time, saying that it was originally the mansion of Princess Heyu and her son-in-law. The emperor also said that you and my son-in-law are a match made in heaven, a natural couple!" Yun Wen burst out a series of good words.

The others were also happy when they heard that Moire looked like a starling.

"Your mouth is better than yours. All right, let Sangzhu show it to her, so that she won't stop talking until dark." Lin Daiyu waved her hands again and again to 'drive away' this noisy guy.

"I don't think it's the emperor's intention, but the third master's." Sang Zhu and Yuliu still called Jia Lang the third master, because they knew that Lin Daiyu would eventually become a member of Jia's family.

"Huh?" Lin Daiyu looked at Sangzhu in doubt.

"The emperor cares deeply about the world, so why would he specially decree the marriage. Although the emperor has the intention of loving the third master, it is not a marriage of the clan, and the queen usually makes the decree.

The able emperor's decree is that the emperor's grace is mighty, how can he bestow a house.Naturally, this gifted house cannot be lived in. If it is lived in, it will be a division of the government.So... the third master really loves the girl, and he is not willing to let you suffer even a little bit of suffering. "

When Sangzhu changed the subject, everyone gasped in fright.

"You little hoof." Being teased by Sangzhu like this, Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand and wanted to hit Sangzhu.

"Oh, oh, what I said is true, girl calm down, calm down." Sang Zhu begged for forgiveness and dodged, "I really didn't tell a lie, the third master just feels sorry for the girl's weak body, and is afraid that the girl will be tired by guarding those daughter-in-laws." own body."

"Sangzhu's words are true. Those clan princes, even though the emperor personally issued an imperial decree, did not reward them with anything. What's more, the emperor would definitely not give such rewards with bad meanings to his close ministers.

I think the house must have been requested by the third master. I heard that the third master has made great achievements this time but has not been promoted. Maybe it is in exchange for this reward. "Yu Liu also acted as the 'analytical emperor' on the side.

Lin Daiyu's ears turned red when she heard mulberry, bamboo, elm and willow singing together.

"You two little hoofs, you actually made fun of me." Lin Daiyu hid under the bed curtain in shame.

"Don't be angry, girl, we are happy for you. You don't know what kind of person the third master is. In the future, he will be harmonious and beautiful, happy and healthy." Yuliu and Sangzhu saluted together to congratulate Lin Daiyu .

"You two are more wicked than the other." Lin Daiyu scolded coquettishly, and ignored them.

The fact that the emperor gave the house caused an uproar in Jia's house.

Granting a house, of course, you can't live there. If you don't stay here, you don't give the emperor face. In the feudal dynasty, who would dare not give the emperor face.

But if you live, you have to hang a plaque.

This plaque cannot be hung casually, especially for officials with official positions like Jia Lang, the plaque also has grades and specifications.For example, the imperial edict to build Rongguo Mansion with red background, black border and gold characters was mentioned by the founding emperor himself.In the lower left corner is the seal of the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and in the lower right corner is the official seal of Rongguo Mansion.

Just for this plaque, ordinary people really dare not rush in casually.

If Jia Lang did not divide the mansion, then his family would still be in Rongguo Mansion, and the emperor's house could only be another courtyard, and he could not hang official plaques, only civilian plaques, or even plaques.

If it is a separate government, then Jialang, as an independent body, can hang a plaque that can only be hung by an official, and the meaning it represents is naturally different.

The problem now is that Jia Lang is now promising, and now that the government is divided, it can only be used as a branch of the direct line in the future, or even become a collateral line.

Regardless of the government, Jia Lang offended the emperor, which was not good for Jia Lang's future.

The Jia family doesn't want to divide the government, and the Jia family doesn't want to offend both sides.

Therefore, the Jia family decided not to divide the government affairs, and started discussing from the moment they received the imperial decree until the end of the dinner.

The result is of course a subdivision of the government. They are now discussing details such as how and when the government will be subdivided.

When Jia Mu received the imperial edict, she was startled and gasped for breath.Now this time, calm down.After all, she has seen the world, and she has a clear heart, so naturally she will not do any "brain-twitching" things.

"Boom." The crutch hit the ground heavily, seeing Jia Mu's serious expression, everyone held their breath.

"Okay, what's there to discuss. Since the Holy Majesty is bestowing congratulations on the marriage and gifts on the house, the branch office should naturally be before the engagement. Lang'er." Jia Mu waved to Jia Lang.

Jia Lang kept silent all the time. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, because the result of the discussion would not change no matter what.

"Three days later, Jia Zhen, the patriarch of Jia's mansion, will come forward and hold a branching ceremony for you in front of the ancestral ancestral hall. Although the mansion is divided, you are still the Jia family, and Rongguo Mansion is still your home.

Lang'er, just remember.Our Rongguo Mansion will always be your home, and you can come back whenever you want.When you move to the new mansion, I will refurbish the Lixiangyuan for you and keep it for you forever. "

Mother Jia spoke lovingly and firmly to Jia Lang solemnly, and there was a bit of utilitarianism in her eyes.

Jia Lang was really moved for a moment, and nodded emphatically at Mother Jia.

Three days later, under Jia Zhen's auspices, Jia Lang separated from the Rongguo Mansion.

At the same time, he officially moved out of Jia's house on the same day. Of course, he only moved some daily necessities for a show, and most of the things were not taken away.

One is to show that the relationship between myself and the Jia family is still broken, and the other is to show my generosity, there is no need to care about it.

Naturally, Jia Lang's new home could not be as big as Jia's mansion, but it was dozens of times bigger than Lixiangyuan.

You must know that Princess Heyu was the first daughter of the emperor and empress back then, and she has been doted on since she was a child.The other princesses were married before they grew up, but only Princess Heyu married in Kyoto, and her life with her son-in-law, Qinser, was also passed down as a good story.

Princess Heyu is the eldest princess, and the location and specifications of the Princess Mansion demonstrate her status and preciousness.

Although Princess Heyu has passed away for a hundred years, and the Princess Mansion has also been in disrepair for a long time, it is impossible to find a better and bigger place in the capital.

Jia Lang's money can be used for burning, so he is not polite at all, and directly pushes all the buildings in the princess mansion to rebuild.

The wall also needs to be rebuilt, but even pushing the wall to such an extent would be motivating, so we can only build it slowly in the future.

Jia Lang found a top designer and asked someone to make a small model, so that he could intuitively see what the house would look like after it was built.

Because Jia Lang is not a high-ranking official, many things cannot be used, but Jia Lang is not in a hurry, thinking that he can be promoted to a noble in the future, and let them lay the foundation first.

Jia Lang will be blessed in the future if he can create more modern pipelines.

Although I read the book, I know that Lin Daiyu likes to be quiet, and there is a curved column hidden in the rows of bamboo in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.The layout of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is good, and the scenery is also good, but it is too quiet and too small.

For the lady in the mansion, the hostess who is in charge of the whole mansion, the residence should be a little grander.It can be exquisite, but too quiet is not good.

Jia Lang posted a post to meet his father-in-law openly, and he didn't pretend to be pretentious, and he didn't make any pretense about it.

Lin Ruhai was surprised to hear Jia Lang's request.Anyone else would naturally feel that Jia Lang is too feminine, controlled by a housewife.

But if this woman in the inner house was his precious daughter, her mentality would naturally be different.

Lin Ruhai felt that Jia Lang was so considerate of his daughter, and he fell in love with Jia Lang more and more in his heart.

When Jia Lang was about to leave Lin's residence, he got a reply.

Jia Lang was a little surprised by the content of the letter. He thought that Lin Daiyu would make a lot of demands. After all, Lin Daiyu is not the kind of hypocrisy.

I didn't expect that there were only five words in the letter - let the king decide!

Suddenly, Jia Lang thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind.

The design plan was quickly finalized, and after a reliable person was in charge of everything, Jia Lang returned to the Ministry of Officials to report on his duties and took up his post in other places.

Not to mention the long distance, the management area this time is also much larger. Jia Lang thought to himself that he might not be able to return to the capital in two or three years.

But thinking that sister Lin will be able to hold a wedding after her fifteenth birthday in two years' time, Jia Lang only felt extremely ambitious.

He was very low-key when he left, Jia Lang simply went to report on his work, and then left.

Looking at a pool of clear water, Lin Daiyu felt a little depressed, and for some reason felt a little uncomfortable.

"Girl, take care of your body. If the third master comes back and sees that we haven't taken good care of you, he won't spare us." Sangzhu hurriedly put down the bamboo curtain in the pavilion.

"I'm not careful here. Although it's hot, I'm not outside." Lin Daiyu retorted a few words, shaking her fan to herself, her tone soft.

"The sun is hot these days, so be careful. If you sweat, I'm afraid that your clothes will stick to you and make you uncomfortable. When you go back to your room, it's cold and cold, and you're most afraid of the alternation of heat and cold.

The girl looks a little unmotivated today, but she has to take a lunch break. Sang Zhu also picked up a fan and fanned Lin Daiyu lightly.

"Don't slap me, just sit down and cool off." Lin Daiyu was weak, afraid of the cold in winter, and afraid of heat in summer.But she can't dry cover in winter, and can't apply ice in summer.

In winter, when the kang was burned, she felt extremely thirsty after sleeping all night.I used to always add water basins in the room, but the effect is just that.

In the hot summer, she could put ice in her room and put it under the bed, but she had to sleep under a quilt and a quilt.I don't know if she should be cold or hot.

Lin Daiyu often thinks again, is there really a day when her body will recover?

For a moment, there was a look of worry on his face.

"Girl, why are you feeling sad?" Sang Zhu was already familiar with Lin Daiyu's appearance, so he asked unhurriedly.

"It's nothing..." Lin Daiyu lost her mood, closed her eyes and rested on the couch, not even shaking her fan.

"Young lady can't be sad, but the imperial doctor said, you have to relax. Although the young lady is a little weak, it's not a serious illness. The young lady used to be young, and this medicine is three-point poisonous, how can I take it lightly.

Now that the girl is growing up slowly, we can see that her complexion is very good, which shows that diet therapy is still useful. "Sang Zhu didn't know why Lin Daiyu was sad, she just changed the topic at will.

"When did the imperial physician say this?" Lin Daiyu opened her eyes and looked at Sangzhu.

"That is, when the imperial physician came to examine the master's pulse, he also examined the girl. At that time, the imperial physician prescribed two doses of warming and tonic medicine, and then he examined it again, so he said this.

If the imperial physician felt that the girl was not in good health, how could she not prescribe medicine.It is because the girl's body is only delicate, so if she eats and wears finer clothes on weekdays, it will be fine, so she didn't prescribe medicine.

Because the girl is often worried, so if you make the girl happy on weekdays, it will naturally get better and better.Oh, the girl was in the back room at the time, so she might not have heard the old doctor's orders. "

Sangzhu's words were not aimless, although they were off topic, they were indeed the words of the old doctor.

Lin Daiyu recalled that she was really sleepy that day and couldn't remember what the old doctor said.

The mulberry and bamboo were so different, Lin Daiyu really forgot her worries just now, and only thought about the next time the old doctor came to see and treat her, so she really wanted to listen to what the doctor had to say.
