The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Wang Guizhi watched his daughter retreat meekly, and then complained to Jia Zheng, "How can you let outsiders come for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"He is a prince, a county king, and my superior... besides, he is only a half-grown child. How can I refuse him?" Jia Zhengfen said, "Besides, we are all sons of running away from home. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, isn't it love to take care of each other?"

Yes, it makes sense to say that. Although Wang Guizhi felt a little disappointing, she had to accept it. After all, she had such thoughts and people didn't know about it. She should treat Duke Yi normally.

"I know, just add another screen at that time." Wang Guizhi immediately decided to call Mrs. Mo and Mo Tian. In the past six months, he has also had some exchanges with the wives of some Taiyuan officials, but after all, the identity of the king of Yijun is different. Or avoid inviting them. "My lord, look quickly, how good the portrait our daughter draws is like me."

Originally, Yuanchun had been studying. Although the Siyi Building was not open any more, those gentlemen Wang Guizhi kept all of them, so that they could concentrate on teaching Yuanchun. Even if they left Shanxi, they were ready to take them with them. Walk.Yuan Chun is indeed talented. After she talked about imitation, she first added and corrected the line drawing of the meticulous painting. After rough drawing a frame, she carefully drew the characters she felt most familiar with.Although it seems that in some places, Wang Guizhi still has a feeling of being processed by art, but it is obviously different from the painting method of ladies handed down from the Tang Dynasty.

Jia Zheng took a closer look and opened his eyes wide, "It's really very similar. It's better than the foreign painters in the palace."

"The painting is fine. I plan to ask Yuan Chun to bring the brush and drawing paper. When the time comes, we will first draw down the scene of our family enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then slowly fill in the color." Wang Guizhi was so happy that he didn't have a camera. It's not bad to have a simulation painting, she has decided to select a few painters who are good at fine brushwork and detailed drawing to develop in this area, and then paint more.

"I know you have been wronged. When we return to Beijing, I will definitely take you to have fun and stroll around, okay?" Jia Zheng said.

"What? Are we really going to leave Shanxi after the new year? Has it been confirmed?" Wang Guizhi asked obediently and put down the studio carefully.

Jia Zheng sat down and took a sip of tea, "It should be like this. The autumn harvest will be coming soon. Judging from the advance collection documents sent by the states and counties, it is conservatively estimated that the deficit can be filled up in a hurry. In addition, the business at the end of the year Taxes, etc., the things that the Holy Majesty entrusted to me have already been taken care of."

"Oh, what a pity. It would be great if I could stay in Shanxi for a few more years." Wang Guizhi didn't quite understand the imperial court's avoidance system, but he knew that their family's life was nothing more than a matter of words.After all, if the emperor wants to target a person, why should he be speechless?What's more, the emperor's wink is so much for people to figure out, he doesn't even need to get a little bit of stigma, naturally his pawns will do it.Always remember to be cautious, which is one of the principles of the existence of an honest person that she has remembered from her previous life to this day.Maybe the honest people will not be the most beautiful and eye-catching one at any time, but even if there are many honest people who have been bullied, they will live to the end in many cases.

What can a momentary win or loss represent?

When Wang Guizhi thought that he was not in Shanxi, except that he might not be able to hold the Jiji ceremony for Yuanchun in the Moon Tower, there would be no other influence for the time being, and maybe Jia Zheng would be sent somewhere again. Didn't he witness it again? Fang's customs?Immediately became happy again, "Where will you be sent this time? Henan? Hubei? Guangxi?"

Seeing his wife's immediate change from frustration to anticipation, Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel relieved at the ease with which she quickly changed her mentality, "Masters and my brother-in-law all speculated that I might be transferred to Beijing to be a court official first. Possibly just an idle errand."

"Huh? Why?" Wang Guizhi couldn't understand anymore, just like in a company, you really know that you can't compete with the boss's children, but at least those who are capable will be given important responsibilities. Which boss is so confused that he secretly distributes the heroes? Woolen cloth. "unacceptable!"

"Hey, ma'am, you have misunderstood. If this is the case, it means that the Holy Majesty loves me and Jiamen." Jia Zheng took Madam's hand, let her sit beside him, and explained in detail listen to her.After all, since he came to Shanxi, his wife's support and help to him is the greatest guarantee for him to successfully complete the imperial order. If his wife didn't use all the dowry and financial resources to help him set up a shelf in the beginning, how can he let him speak smoothly in the future? It must be done.Besides, Madam has always been measured, and he gradually got used to telling her some things and discussing them with her.

When Yuan Chun returned to the house, he realized that he should take the painting back with him to continue, so he asked Nan Lu to pick it up, but Nan Lu came back blushing and whispered, "Miss, the master is talking to the wife."

"Oh, forget it then." Yuan Chun walked in front of his embroidery shed indifferently, and picked up the picture of a white cat that had been embroidered with Suzhou embroidery stitches for most of the time. With new ideas, there is no way to embroider according to the old patterns.

"Yinxiu, please help me finish this." But my mother has always taught by example, never give up halfway, especially when it will cause waste.If you want to eat snacks with your younger brothers and sisters, of course you can, but if you just take a bite of everything in order to be greedy, that is absolutely not acceptable.In the past, there was a girl who only wanted to curry favor with Meiyu, after letting her mother know, not only punished that girl, but also fined Meiyu not to eat snacks for five days.Maybe Meiyu was just ignorant, but she remembered what her mother said.They were born in such a family background, not to mention a few snacks, even swallowing gold and jade is not unaffordable, but it is different from eating and drinking for real enjoyment, no matter how much you have, it is not an excuse to waste wantonly.

"Yes, girl." Yinxiu picked it up and traced it with her fingers, but she was a little embarrassed. The girl's work is also delicate and eye-catching, but it is not the embroidery method she is good at. Most of the time, I only know Beijing embroidery." At that time, the girl will make a picture of a white cat fluttering a butterfly, so that her embroidery will be poor, but it will be good.

Nan Lu looked at it, then smiled and said, "Why don't you ask Master Jin to help you embroider, this Suzhou embroidery is also taught to our lady, isn't it?"

"That's fine. When you put it away, please ask Master Jin to help you embroider it." Yuan Chun picked up the soft white paper and used the hard pencil her mother gave her to make a rough draft.

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the merchants in Taiyuan City have already prepared a full range of goods, and they are waiting for the tourists who will participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony from Baishan down to the Taiyuan City Bell Tower.

The lights are like a dragon, showing a bright river of lights in the dark.Even if they are from poor families, they can hold the children's hand and lead the family members out for a tour. Occasionally, they pass by a seller of sugar balls and fried cakes. Because each sells for only one or two yuan, it is a holiday. I am also willing to buy it for children. Under the lights, there are people coming and going, lively and lively.

There was an old lady who sold baked potato skewers, her business was booming, and she didn’t prepare much. She sold out in a while and simply packed up her things, “Let’s go, leave the things at your cousin’s house, and we’ll go shopping too.”

"Grandma Xu, don't do business? Be careful later that you have to give money back." Someone beside him laughed.

Mrs. Xu patted the purse on her waist and said, "If it's upside down, it's upside down. I heard that there is a kind of moon cake in Zhenbaofang, which was brought by Mrs. Chief Secretary from Beijing. It's only available for sale during the Mid-Autumn Festival. One person buys two, and I have to see it too." See if you can buy it."

"Hahaha, then you definitely won't be able to buy it. When the bell rings, Treasure Square puts up a happy note saying that all are sold, and the door is closed for the first time."

"Tsk, that's a pity. I knew it too late this year. Next year, I will definitely let my kid go to the queue early."

"The taste of the moon cakes is really good. My father-in-law knows how to make tiles and wood. My wife wants to build a moon worship building for my daughter. Before that, businessman Qiao wanted to catch up with the work, so he was hired too. But when the wife came, she repeatedly told me that safety is the top priority. Don't be too hasty, and each person gave two yuan, and each of us in the family got a little bit, tsk tsk tsk, that's really delicious."

"It's good to have a craft!"

"Well, it's not bad to have a skill, but it's not as capable as the Wang family in our village. I heard that his family has a good skill that is passed on to the daughter-in-law but not to the daughter. He gave a gift on the wife's birthday, and the wife took a fancy to it. Those who want to be his family's daughter-in-law now don't know how many matchmakers have been hired."

"You mean that Uncle Wang? My good boy, he can feed eight people at a meal, who would have dared to discuss marriage with his family before. Now he has a bright future."

"That's not it."

Without saying a few more words, and from time to time when someone asked for things, Mrs. Xu nodded her head and led her little grandson for a walk. When she saw something that her little grandson was coveting, she was not stingy enough to buy it for him.From time to time, people from the government come to guide them in planting the land, and sell them the base fertilizer. This year, the crops at home are growing well, but there are fewer soil yams in the trial, and they can grow more next year. Some wasteland, but it doesn’t cost money to open up wasteland, but it takes money to buy tree seeds... These little people originally wanted to eat at home, but she just came with the aunt opposite to try to show it, but she didn’t expect to brush it with sauce and stick it. Skewers are easy to sell.

At this time, the third floor of the Xiaoguan Building is also divided into two tables by the screen. You can enjoy the performances on the stage at will, or turn around and go upstairs to watch the moon, or just toast with relatives and friends on the table and taste delicious food. .

Yuan Kang looked curiously at the wine on the blue and white round porcelain altar with the words "men'er wine" on it, "Master Jia, can't I have a drink today?" This wine can only be sold at Boweilou. After missing it, when he came to Boweilou again, his identity had been dismantled, and he was told not to sell him spirits, so he has never tried this wine until now.

Jia Zheng laughed, "If the king of the county wants to try, please wait a little longer. It would be a pity to miss the fireworks display."

"I must drink a few more glasses at that time."

Yuan Kang said, Jia Zhu was about to say something, when he heard the sound of a baby crying from the other side of the screen, he couldn't help looking over with concern, he is also a father now!

Li Wan stood up and hugged him, but he couldn't stop for a while. Wang Guizhi was about to get up when he saw Yuan Chun reminding Li Wan in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, my nephew must have been dragged. You can go over there and change your clothes." , will definitely not cry."

"Yes." Li Wan glanced at Yuan Chun gratefully. She saw that his wife had given birth to several children, and all of them were in good shape. She thought it was so easy to bring up a child. This matter was her turn. , I panicked a little.

Wang Guizhi pretended not to know that it was inevitable for her daughter-in-law to be a little nervous about her first child, and she was willing to do it by herself without pretending to be someone else.

Meiyu Baoyu Yuanyuan, Mo Tian now has a single-eye telescope, you say mine and he says hers, playing and having fun with each other.

"Old lady Mo, try my dessert." Wang Guizhi looked at Yuan Chun and aroused his siblings' yelling. He took the binoculars from the maid's hand to look at it, but Meiyu pushed it away and replaced him. Yes, I turned my head and asked the old lady of the Mo family to move her chopsticks.

Old Madam Mo was savoring carefully, "Wait until I finish tasting this Spring Plum Blossom on Snow."

Seeing the excitement over there, Yuan Kang thought there was some good show on the stage, so he also walked to the railing and looked up, but he couldn't see clearly. He was a little puzzled, and then he heard the sound of a ring of green rings clashing and ordered, "Take Send this over."

After a while Qin Bao brought him a binoculars, obviously she guessed that he was coming to watch.

It's really Lan Zhihui's heart. When Yuan Kangtuo lifted it into his eyes, he could see a lot clearly.

In the end, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu, and Yuan Kang were all knocked down by the men's wine, and they went home on their backs, leaving Wang Guizhi to lead the children to watch and play happily all night.

At the end of October, autumn chrysanthemums were proud, and the autumn harvest in Shanxi was over, with many fruits. Wang Yuankang of Yijun, as the governor of Shanxi, reported the good news to the emperor on behalf of all the officials of Shanxi.

The emperor officially announced at the Dachaohui, "Shanxi has fully filled the deficit, please other provincial capitals to speed up their actions."

It was also ordered that Jia Zheng, the Chief Secretary of Shanxi, be appointed as the official of Zhongshu Shilangtang.

The author has something to say: Tang Guan: An official who has the right to go to court in the capital.

ps: I ended up with my aunt before, but I suddenly had bleeding again today. The initial diagnosis may be ovulation bleeding.I said it not to make you little angels sympathize or something, but to inform that the latest update may be unstable, and even if the daily update can be maintained, it may not be possible to add updates.

(Of course, it is also possible that if you go to check and find that it is not a big deal...)
