The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia Amnesty was also pondering whether the old lady should go or not.If she goes, I must avoid it, if she doesn't go, then I'd better go.Both mother and son were trying to guess what the other was thinking, or Jia Zheng came to the door early in the morning, blocked Jia Lian who was going to court, and immediately asked, "Master, will you still go to Guanli today?"

Jia Lian is now a doctor of the fourth grade, qualified to go to the early court, but he has no time to talk nonsense with this second uncle who has a lot of free time, so he hurriedly said: "I don't know, the second master should ask himself."

Jia Zheng was waiting for this sentence. He waved his hand and said, "Then you go, and I'll go in." As he spoke, he stepped into the gate of Ronghou's mansion. Wherever he dared to stop, Jia Zheng walked smoothly to the door of Rongxi Hall where he had been hiding for many years.

I really miss it infinitely!In those beautiful days, in the old days, he lived in the main hall, he held contacts, he held the seal, and he dealt with all external affairs... As a result, when his daughter became a concubine, these good things disappeared!No, it wasn't until the boy surnamed Ning came back.Jia Zheng angrily spat at the imaginary Ning Shan, looked around, and seeing no one noticed, he straightened his clothes and walked in the door with his head held high.

Seeing Jia Zheng, Jia She was very worried: "You came to block the door early in the morning, do you have any ideas? You have read the sage books into the dog's stomach!" Jia She thought about it all night last night, in order to avoid Shi Taijun finally decided to get up and go to the morning court, but Jia Zheng blocked him at home and delayed him for life.

Jia Zheng then invited: "Since I missed the morning court, why don't we go to the Qingxu Temple together. This is what the empress ordered. It's better to persist for three days."

Jia Amnesty was annoyed that Jia Zheng always mentioned his wife if he had nothing to do, and immediately spit back, saying: "I went to court to serve the emperor, what's the matter, your lady is older than the emperor?"

Jia Zheng was so frightened that he knelt down and bowed his hands in the direction of the imperial city, saying: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, I wholeheartedly serve the emperor. This heart can be learned from the sun and the moon, and I dare not treat arrogance poorly. Brother still Please be careful."

Impatiently, Jia She dodged away from the direction where Jia Zheng was kneeling, sat aside, picked up the teacup casually, and said, "What are you doing?" hurt the eyes.Jia Amnesty slandered angrily, and only waited for Jia Zheng to say something wrong, and immediately sprayed him in the face.

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth, guessing that it would not be feasible to continue playing sloppy with Jia She, so he simply told the truth: "Mother, there are some things I want to discuss with my brother." relation."

Jia She laughed with a "sneer", put aside the tea bowl, pointed to Jia Zheng and said, "Second brother, you have been the best at pretending for so many years, and you are the same now. You have to drag the old lady to get the bottom line, right?" The words were righteous, as if he wasn't relying on his eldest son to play prestige.

If you want to attack Jia She, Jia Zheng also has something to say, but now that people are under the eaves, they can't bear to have no choice but to let Jia She be ridiculed. In the end, he wiped his mouth and said: "Just go, see For the old lady's sake."

Jia Zheng hurriedly led the way, and took Jia Amnesty, who was finally willing to let go, into the garden directly from the side entrance of the Grand View Garden to the Ronghou Mansion, and took the shortest route to Hengwuyuan.Jia Amnesty also took a look at the scenery with great mood. Now that it has just entered midsummer, it is sultry and hot outside, and this Hengwu Garden is the only place where the clear mansions are open and bright.Going up the Yunbu stone ladder, the courtyard is full of strange fragrances.Those strange grasses and fairy vines, the colder they are than the verdant greens, are all fruitful, like coral beans, and they are so lovely.In the midst of Yingying summer, it looks cool and pleasant.

Entering the room, Jia Amnesty was about to salute, but before he could bend down, he was called off by the smiling Shi Taijun. He sneered inwardly, and with a grateful expression on his face, he walked to the left and sat down.Jia Zheng sat down opposite and waved all the maids away, this time not even mandarin ducks were left behind, there were only three of them, mother and child, sitting quietly and talking.

Shi Taijun opened his mouth first: "Shan'er, you will arrive in Beijing soon after you count the days." He actually pointed out the subject of today's chat directly.

Jia Amnesty was taken aback for a moment, and then said vigilantly: "The old lady still wants to be a matchmaker? I told you that it won't work."

Shi Taijun waved his hand and said: "Last time I was just talking casually. I just saw that the child is getting older now, and he doesn't have a family. It doesn't matter if you don't like it. Why bother to get angry? I went to Qingxu Temple a while ago, Zhang Daochang even talked to Baoyu about his marriage, but he didn't see what happened to Zheng'er. You, you have a bad temper, and you don't have to offend others. I'm your mother, so naturally I don't care about you. How many are willing to let you?" The words are well-founded, warm and considerate, just like educating young children.

Jia She snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "There are not many people who won't let me outside now. The second son of Zheng dare not lose his temper, because he has no ability to support his son, but relying on the noble daughter, he can't Isn’t it too bad? When the garden was built, not only did the niece’s property be taken away, but even my daughter’s dowry was lost, so far there is no explanation, so what do you want to do?”

Jia Zheng was said to have a bruised face. He knew that the woman from the Wang family moved and borrowed money, and got a lot of money from others, but he didn't do it, so why point to his nose and scold him.

Shi Taijun also secretly hated Mrs. Wang's bad deeds, so he had no choice but to take over by himself, saying: "Yinger's child is also my granddaughter, I will give her my own care when I go out in the future, it will not be worse."

Jia Amnesty was not accommodating: "Can you give her 30 taels of money? I think that's all the old lady has." In fact, no one knows how much money the old lady has except herself and the mandarin duck who is in charge of the account key. I don't know, Jia Amnesty is also guessing.

Even if Shi Taijun has 300 million people, all of them will be left to Baoyu. How can he give 30 to a concubine girl? "Boss, I'm not talking about you. Ying girl is a concubine. How can she go out with so much dowry? It's too much. People like us should be low-key and thrifty. You are too crazy."

Jia She said with a smile: "I also know that I don't have a concubine daughter, and I can't compare with the second child, but who will let my son succeed? What do you say?" Then he turned to Jia Zheng and said, "Second brother, the things your wife took away are not mine. When the army returns, I'll call Shan'er, and you tell him yourself?"

Jia Zheng saw that his daughter had to ask Qing Ke to write a manuscript in advance, so as not to be frightened by reciting it, how could he have the confidence to talk to General Desheng now, so he hurriedly begged Shi Taijun: "Old lady, this is all done by that woman of the Wang family. Yes, I don't know anything about it. The old lady must make it clear to her brother, so as not to insult my reputation."

Before Shi Taijun could speak, he was cut off by Jia She: "Second brother, the Qi family governs the country and the world. This is the truth that I, an old dandy, understand. Now you don't even care about your wife and children, and you still want to be an official?" Jia Zheng's face turned greener and shinier.

Jia Shen made up his mind to use one thing to sacrifice the other. He is self-aware, his brain is not working well, and doing two things at the same time is easy to be tricked, so let's do it one by one.

Spreading his hands together, Jia Amnesty showed his helplessness and rascal together to the fullest: "Old lady, the second son of the government, I know what you are looking for me for, isn't it just to see Shan'er's meritorious deeds, and you want him to pull your mother away? No? Let me tell you, you are cheating on my daughter and scheming against my son at the same time, think about it for yourself, it might be impossible!"

With a big sigh, Jia Amnesty, who was shaking his head, continued to be angry: "I don't understand what's going on, anyway, that child Shan'er just likes the girl and loves her. He gave 30 yuan without blinking an eye. Feel your heart and ask yourself if you can do it? My girl Ying will also be drafted in the future, isn't it better for Shan'er to keep the credit to support her sister than to take care of your second wife?"

Shi Taijun and Jia Zheng changed their expressions at the same time. What they were afraid of was that Ning Shan would use military merit to send Yingchun into the palace and help her gain favor.The resources of a family are limited, and if you support one person, you can't take care of the second one.If Yingchun really enters the palace, with Ning Shan and Jia Lian behind her, supporting her with every piece of literature and military, Yuan Chun may not have a bright future.

When his own interests were at stake, Jia Zheng's mind turned very quickly: "This doesn't make sense, isn't it because I gave the second girl a dowry of 30 taels, and wanted to send the second girl to be a lady and wife? Why did she have to enter the palace again?" Brother, you have to think clearly, now that the empress and the third prince are standing there properly, if the second girl enters the palace, she will never be able to wear red for the rest of her life."

Jia She frowned and said, "What's the use of thinking about it? You and your daughter-in-law need to think about it. My daughter's dowry has been embezzled by you, so how can I get married? There is no other way. The dowry was sent from the palace."

Jia Zheng hastily promised, "I'll urge that foolish woman to send back the dowry of the second girl when I go back."

Jia She clapped his hands: "Here! When will you return the dowry, and when will we talk again. Old lady, son, is this fair?"

"Fair! Fair!" Your mother's flat!If Jia Amnesty hadn't crawled out of Shi Taijun's stomach, she really wanted to slam those words in his face.Where do they still have time to wait for the dowry money to be collected before discussing the request?It has been nearly a month since the Haijiang army set out, even if the escort of prisoners of war and tributes is slow, it is time to arrive in the capital this month.If you don't transfer the credit to Yuan Chun before Ning Shan receives the reward, and wait for the imperial decree to come down, how can there be room for discussion?

Shi Taijun is now disgusted with his youngest son who doesn't turn his head, and the head he gave birth is just a display?To be able to be hooked by the boss is becoming more and more useless. After so many years of books, I must have read all my brains!It is said that studying is not good, and his precious jade must not be sent to the second wife to raise them. It is still necessary for her old man to raise good children like Zhu Er and Niang Niang.

Jia Amnesty, who felt that he had set a problem for Jia Zheng, twisted his waist in satisfaction, loosened his muscles and bones, and said briskly: "The matter is almost done, so I will take a step first. Although it is too late to go to the morning court, but it is still possible." Go sit in the yamen and see what you can do with your hands. I have been resting at home for more than half a year, thanks to the help of my colleagues in the ministry, I should also express my gratitude."

Jia Zheng felt a pain in his leg and was deeply hurt.Knowing that he was dismissed, but still asking for the yamen in front of him, the Dafang father and son are really not good.

Shi Taijun also felt that Jia Amnesty should be sent away, and he should have a good talk with his younger son, teach him the art of speaking, and don't be so stupid as to be tricked by the boss. "Then you go, do things well, don't be mediocre, offend others, and cause trouble for the family. On this point, you should study politics, and I never have to worry about it."

"Yes, yes, the second child doesn't need you to worry about causing trouble, but you only need to worry about him being a Yuanwailang who has been sitting for 20 years without moving." value?

Shi Taijun became angry from embarrassment: "You are just a Yuanwailang now, when you become an old and important minister of the cabinet, you will laugh at your brother."

Jia She stretched his waist lazily, and said: "I have self-knowledge, and I don't dare to think so far in my life, but anyway, I won't let someone sit in the fifth rank for 20 years." If the eldest son doesn't help him get promoted, He retired from office after 19 years of sitting, and he can also piss off his second child.

"Second brother, you go back to the house and get together the dowry money with your wife as soon as possible. I'm not in a hurry, but if it's too late, Shan'er's child will enter the capital, enter the palace, and receive a reward. Those of you Small calculations are useless." Before leaving, he stabbed Jia Zheng again, and quickly rushed out of the door before Shi Taijun turned his face and wanted to throw the agate pillow. Jia She deeply gave himself a thumbs up. Go to bed early and get up early, don't drink and go whoring|prostitutes, seeing that you are as light as a swallow and as healthy as a young man, it's great, keep it up, maybe you can join the elder son in the future as a father-son soldier, and you can also make military achievements.
