Winning every step of the Red Mansion

180

Originally, Jia Amnesty was restless when he received Jia Hu's letter, and he couldn't bear it in the mansion. He thought that Jia Hu was going to the frontier fortress because he accompanied Han Qi. Then I went to ask the previous question.

As soon as he went there, he got the letter. The news made Jia She half happy and half worried. He was happy that Jia Hu had made a contribution, but he heard that he was injured. Fortunately, the injury was neither serious nor vital.But the best news is that they are finally returning to Beijing.Although it will take time to come back, and I don't know when I will be able to return home, but it is a good thing anyway.

Jia Amnesty's heart fell to the ground, he bid farewell to Prince Zhongjing and returned to the mansion, with a sad expression on his face.Suddenly feeling hungry, he hurried to Mrs. Zhang's courtyard.At this time Mrs. Zhang was alone, she was working with her needle and thread in her hand, when she saw Jia She come in, she hurriedly put down her things and got up to meet her.

"Nowadays you have a lot of things on your body, and you can't be free every day. You can rest more at night. These guys just let the servants do it." Jia She said.

"It's just to pass the time. If you are idle, you are idle." Mrs. Zhang ordered the servant girl to serve tea, and Jia She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Forget about the tea. After a day of tossing, I only realize that I haven't eaten yet. Let's set the meal."

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback. At this time, she knew that Jia Amnesty hadn't eaten yet, so she hurriedly asked the servant girl to prepare the meal, and when the arrangements were over, she asked, "Today I went to invite the master, but I heard that the master has gone out. I thought I went outside to use it." .So I was negligent."

Jia She opened his mouth, and just wanted to talk about Jia Hu's incidents, so as to reassure his wife, but then remembered the prince's special order, although he felt that his wife would not tell outsiders, but he also complied with others. Secondly, if it is necessary for my wife, I have to tell the old lady. Besides, I am still thousands of miles away, so let's wait for her to get a letter.Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and said: "I suddenly remembered something, and I was busy dealing with it, because it is almost the end of the year, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome if it is two days later."

Seeing Jia Amnesty's ambiguity, Mrs. Zhang thought it was an official matter, and it was not convenient for her to ask in detail, so she also stopped talking.Wait for the servant girl to bring the food together, and sit by the side to eat with Jia Amnesty without saying a word.

While eating, Jia She suddenly felt something was wrong.It stands to reason that if the military report is expedited at eight hundred miles, it should not be handed over to Prince Zhongjing who is in charge of the inner government and the household department, but should be given to Prince Yizhong who is in charge of the military department.But why did Prince Zhongsheng inform Prince Zhongjing of all the prisoners being escorted?Besides, there is also the matter of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Wasn't the Ministry of Criminal Justice taken over by Prince Zhongshun? Just now, he was disturbed by Jia Hu's matter, and others didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he thinks about it, he feels that this matter is not quite right.A very bad guess suddenly came to Jia She's mind, and he was taken aback by this guess, shaking his head again and again, and hurriedly took two mouthfuls of rice to suppress his strange thought.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia She's behavior a little strangely, and asked: "Master, is it not to your taste?" Jia She hurriedly said: "No, no, suddenly remembered that there is something to do, I will go to the study to make arrangements later. By the way, the work you were doing just now was for Hu'er?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced back at the half-sewed shoe upper, she nodded and said, "It's cold over there, and I'm thinking of making another pair of thick shoes for him." After hearing this, Jia Amnesty said, "I see you But do it slowly, maybe when your shoes are finished, others will come back."

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed when she heard it: "Did the master receive the letter? But I was so anxious, the old lady still asked today? Let me see where the letter is."

Jia She said with a smile: "You are also sincere. If I have a letter, I will not send you to see it. I am just guessing like this. Now he has been there for a while now. He has neither official title nor rank. It's impossible to stay for a long time. You have to find an excuse and send the two back, don't worry."

Mrs. Zhang felt a little relieved when she heard Jia Amnesty's words were reasonable.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty was also relieved.Anyway, it's good that people can come back sooner or later.But that's something you have to think about.

Mrs. Wang sat alone in the courtyard, feeling rather unhappy.Jia Zheng came back today, and he was overjoyed.Before the two of them said a few words, Jia Zheng mentioned: "Last time you went to Li's house to celebrate the birthday of his old lady, and saw her granddaughter, how do you feel?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt upset, she already knew what the Li family was up to.Objectively speaking, the girl's appearance and personality are not bad, but if she matches her Zhu'er, she will be much inferior.

After all, the family background is there.Although the Li family is also a scholarly family, if they can match Zhu'er, they should be the daughter of a noble family. Such a matching status will help Zhu'er's future in the future.But Li Shouzhong from the Li family is just a Guozijian Jijiu, and it can be said that Potian is just a fourth-rank official.

But when Jia Zheng asked this question, he couldn't help but answer, Mrs. Wang paused and said, "When the master said it, I remembered it. That girl looks good, but her personality is a little petty."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng pondered for a moment: "This Li Shouzhong, Lord Li, is of excellent character, and he is considered a leader in the Qing Dynasty in the imperial court. He is also very knowledgeable. His daughter should not be bad. I'm afraid it's you who is slightly petty. Hou Men took a look."

Mrs. Wang was even more anxious when she heard this, thinking to herself that this was to show Zhu'er her daughter-in-law, not to find a teacher for him.I care if this knowledge is good or not, so what?What I care about is that the family background and status will help Zhu'er in the future.What if a fourth-rank official manages some academic and political affairs?

"Master is right. But Zhu'er is quite knowledgeable now. If she takes the next exam, she might pass the exam again. Although Zhu'er has reached her age, this matter still needs to be carefully considered." Mrs. Wang said cautiously.

Jia Zheng was a little impatient, "A woman's opinion, you don't know Li Jiaqing's reputation, how many people want this opportunity but can't get it." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "I have been in the Ministry of Industry for many years. , when I was young, I wanted to study and make progress, but I never thought that I would be given an official by chance. Now if there is someone in the Imperial College, maybe one day he can be recommended to be a student of political science, and his long-cherished wish will be fulfilled. Besides, if there is such a relative, Zhu Er Entrance to school is also helped.”

Mrs. Wang was even more displeased when she heard it, but Jia Zheng seemed to agree with it wholeheartedly, but he couldn't do anything to stop him.Mrs. Wang wondered whether she should go to ask Jia Mu tomorrow. Although she lost power in front of Jia Mu, Jia Mu loved her grandchildren as usual.If it was for Jia Zhu, maybe there would be room to get it back.

"What the master is thinking about is that I remembered that the old lady was there that day. The old lady is always good at knowing people. After all, I still have to tell the old lady about such important matters, and ask her what the old man thinks by the way." mother.

Jia Zheng thought of the election in Yuanchun last time, which made him jump like a dog.In order not to be like the last time, I should explain this matter to Jiamu early, so as to avoid any troubles in the future.

Jia Zheng nodded and said: "It's so good. I'll go back tomorrow and the old lady will know. Let's listen to what the old lady has to say." I went back to the study.

Mrs. Wang was naturally angry, and she was secretly thinking about what to say when she met Jia Mu tomorrow, so that Jia Mu could stand on her side, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with an idea.Before I settled this matter, another little maid came to report that Cui Xing had suddenly fallen ill and passed out all of a sudden.The master sent someone to ask his wife to send someone to invite a doctor.Mrs. Wang felt even more annoyed when she heard this, and she just casually ordered a servant girl to go to the street to find someone who could grab the medicine.After all, he is a servant, so it is not worth mobilizing so many people.After hearing this, the maid did not dare to disobey Mrs. Wang's wishes, so she went to take care of herself and didn't mention it for the time being.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang took the car early to pay her respects.Shi Feier looked at Mrs. Wang and knew that something must be wrong.The saying that there is nothing not to go to the Three Treasures Hall is also suitable for Mrs. Wang.But Shi Feier has his own way to deal with it, let's see what is the reason for this time?

As usual, after a few more insipid words, Mrs. Wang finally opened the conversation: "The old lady still remembers that girl named Wan'er in Li's house?"

When Shi Fei'er heard that this was the case today, she regained some energy and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, we haven't met for too long, and now I think about it, there are many girls in our house, even though they are a little older Small, but you can also invite some relatives to walk around, as time goes by, it is good for the girls to hand in some handkerchiefs."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "It's the old lady who thinks well. I'll just ignore the other, and I'll post a post to invite you after a while." Mrs. Wang paused and said: "What does the old lady think of Miss Li's family?"

Shi Fei'er laughed and said: "It's not good to talk about other girls behind their backs for no reason, how come it feels like they are picking a wife!"

Mrs. Wang complained secretly in her heart, and it was true that Jia's mother was clear in her heart.But I was afraid that she would stand on Jia Zheng's side, so there was no room for pulling back.He hurriedly said: "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from the old lady. If you don't hide it from the old lady, to be honest, you really have this idea. What does the old lady think when you look at it. I see that girl looks upright, and her manners are also good. It's good, but the style is slightly inferior and a bit petty."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's hasty expression of her attitude, Shi Fei'er knew that she should despise this daughter-in-law.But he had run into a wall with Jia Zheng, and now he was using himself as a backer.

Shi Fei'er smiled and said: "I see that girl is not bad. She is indeed a bit petty as you said. But I heard that Li's family is clean and upright, and Mrs. Li has a good reputation as an official. I think it's just because of her family status." That girl sees less, so that's why."

Mrs. Wang was a little happy to hear what Jia Mu said.Thinking that because Jia Mu loves Jia Zhu, she naturally attaches great importance to this marriage, so she must not like a family like the Li family.

Shi Fei'er said again: "But that girl looks gentle and gentle, if she looks at it with Zhu'er, she will match. But this important marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. If you look good, I will be happy too .”

Mrs. Wang was a little dumbfounded, why did she suddenly become my favorite?It's obviously because I don't look good.
