The days that followed were barely anything special.

Jia Ying was busy all morning, and went back to Jia Lian's yard to report the situation to Wang Xifeng. Just as she was about to enter the house, she saw Jia Lian secretly waving at her.

Jia Ying handed the account book to She Yue, and walked to the corridor: "Second brother Lian, what's the matter?"

Jia Lian looked around and said in a low voice, "How is your second sister-in-law looking today?"

Jia Ying looked at him, both speechless and funny: "You just go and see for yourself."

After what happened to Bao's family, Jia Lian finally calmed down for a while, but Wang Xifeng seemed to be frightened by the red sun that day, or was discouraged by Jia Lian's several times of tossing, so she didn't care about him anymore. It made Boss Jia Lian uncomfortable.

Isn't Jia Lian an M?

Jia Ying slandered in her heart, and saw Jia Lian shaking her head again and again: "Your sister-in-law sees me, and she just treats me as someone else. I'll say three words to her, and if she can answer a word, it's burning incense."

He really didn't want to talk about this with his cousin, but recently he always ran into trouble in this area. His wife still hated him when she saw him. Boring, but regretted not coming.

Jia Ying quickly said: "Sister Feng's complexion is much better today, the doctor has come to see her, and seeing how Sister Ping'er looks, she's fine."

Jia Lian thought that she was a young girl who hadn't left the court, and the doctor would definitely not say it in front of her face, so he didn't care if she didn't speak carefully, and after thanking her, she left.

Jia Ying went back to the room and talked with Ping'er about the matter. After thinking about it, she mentioned what Jia Lian had asked her about.

Ping'er smiled and said: "Miss, don't worry, after lunch, the second mistress is going to Linfu, so I left a message, so you don't have to come here in the afternoon."

Jia Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ping'er say that she could have a holiday this afternoon.

Recently, Wang Xifeng has been taking care of her baby with peace of mind all day long. She only holds the big head, and gives all that can be handed over to Yingtan and Jia Ying, and Ping'er is in charge of overall planning and scheduling.

Now, Jia Ying didn't even have a half-day vacation. She was so busy all day long that she was fighting with the wives and mothers-in-law in the mansion, and she didn't have time to think about it. Basically, she fell asleep immediately after touching the pillow. After changing his clothes, he stuffed a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, asked Jia Mu'an, and ran to the big room without stopping.

Repeatedly, after a month, Jia Ying almost forgot when was the last time An Anxin drank tea.

Thinking of this, she made up her mind to find Tanchun and the others for afternoon tea in the afternoon. It just so happened that everyone had a business handover recently, so it's good to complain to each other.

—and then she regretted it.

Mrs. Wang nodded: "It's just in time. After a while, you and I will go to Nan'an Palace together."

Tanchun sighed aside.

Jia Ying: "???"

At that time, Jia Ying went to Jinling. During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Wang led Tanchun out several times, so after meeting several old wives, she easily integrated into the group of girls on one side.

It was the first time Jia Ying was brought out by Mrs. Wang.

If this is a fan of a famous Western novel, then Jia Ying is the daughter of the Duke's family who has just arrived in London and is about to enter the social world. The eyes are also full of deep meaning.

Concubine Nan'an has an old relationship with Jia's mother, and her natal family has been friends with the Shi family for many years, and she is also the most senior master in the mansion. Jia Ying was the first to greet her.

The concubine said with a smile: "I often hear Xiangyun think of you, so I can see you today." Someone has already prepared a gift for the meeting.

Jia Ying took the gift and thanked her, and greeted the wives one by one. Mrs. Wang told her that she was the first to introduce Princess Beijing.

Jia Ying didn't show her face, but she was really shocked in her heart. At first, because the other party looked only two or three years older than her, she thought she was the most favored junior beside Princess Nan'an, but it turned out to be the princess. .

Princess Bei Jing said a few words to her gently, she looked like an elder, Jia Ying was called a girl by the white-bearded old man in Jinling, and she had experienced many battles, so she didn't feel awkward.

Afterwards, I will not go into details about the various meetings and ceremonies.Finally meeting Mrs. Yu Yu, Jia Ying breathed a sigh of relief, only thinking about reuniting with Tan Chun, but unexpectedly the concubine asked her to sit on the embroidered pier beside her.

Mrs. Wang was naturally overjoyed. Jia Ying bit her head and passed by. The concubine didn't look carefully at the distance, but now she was sitting next to her. When she saw it, she subconsciously sighed: "Oh, what a shame! child……"

She was born like her grandfather.

The old lady is old-fashioned after all, so she didn't say this.

A little girl who looks like her grandfather, it is naturally not good to say it out, although her grandfather was famous for his indisputable face back then.

Now she understands why Mother Jia likes this child so much, and even hugs her to raise him.

The concubine smiled at everyone: "I didn't look carefully just now, this child is so handsome."

This time the big boss of the banquet spoke, and all the wives below naturally responded and praised, and there was harmony.

Jia Ying was sitting on the side, already laughing stiffly, but God didn't seem to intend to let her go, another lady said: "Ah, she looks like the brother of the Zhen family."

Jia Ying's heart was completely ashamed.

Even if she looks like her grandfather, she also looks like a boy.

So by analogy, Zhen Baoyu and her grandfather look alike.

Jia Ying's heart is broken, old man, you didn't do anything like the old Jia next door.

After all, this lady was a bit outspoken. The old lady sitting opposite Princess Beijing smoothed things over and said, "Yes, Duke Rong and the old man of the Zhen family were cousins ​​at the beginning. But later," she laughed with Jia Ying, "Since your family came to Beijing from Jinling, the two families haven't moved much."

Jia Ying met the wives' thoughtful eyes, and smiled weakly and gratefully at the old lady.

At this time, someone reported that Princess Yongchang and her son-in-law had arrived.

Jia Ying felt a little more relaxed, and now the focus of the crowd was about to change.

The concubine was about to get up to meet her, the princess came in in casual clothes, helped the concubine to sit back, and did not forget that Jia Ying who was on the same side blinked her eyes.

When Jia Ying saw that face, her eyes almost went out of frame.

Isn't this the maid next to Baochai last time?

She was surprised for a moment, but she didn't get over it. She only heard Princess Yongchang's few words and coaxed the concubine to laugh again and again, but the others didn't care about it. However, Yongchang's father was too good, and no one dared to show anything in front of her.

Jia Ying lamented that this person was simpler and rougher than herself, and the next moment his wrist was pulled.

Yongchang smiled and said: "I have a very good relationship with Miss Jia, so I went to play with her."

Jia Ying: When will my relationship with you get better!

Concubine Nan'an shook her head in front of her, helplessly: "This child is already engaged, and he is still so childish, go."

Jia Ying was dragged away by the princess, she glanced at Mrs. Wang's puzzled face, and caught a lot of unkind eyes from the girls.

For the first time in Jia Ying's life, other than Lin Xiangyu, she was hostile by the girls.

She really doesn't want to show off!

In Jia Ying's life, even though she has become a granddaughter of a duke, her father is also a civil servant of the central government. He was brought up with rich clothes and good food, and became a member of a strict hierarchy. After all, he is still an unreasonable person at heart.

So facing the genuine princess, her first reaction was...

She finally knew how Mu Shi got the first volume of their poetry club!

Since Yongchang was able to pretend to be Baochai's maid, Jia Ying probably understood what kind of person she was. What's more, since the first draft was in Mu Shi's hands, she probably knew about their acquaintance.

So Yongchang sized her up curiously, and Jia Ying didn't feel offended, and greeted Yongchang in a respectful manner, and heard Yongchang laughing: "That day in the mansion, I heard everything you said to Baochai, I was interested in you at that time, and today I finally have the opportunity to talk to you, you don't need to be formal, you are still the same as that day, just treat me as a friend."

Jia Ying nodded, and sat down opposite her. The princess, who was still dashing a moment ago, immediately looked around, like a man in sunglasses selling movies under a flyover, and took out a book from his arms.

Jia Ying was taken aback, subconsciously she also sneaked into her, looked left and right, and then took the book.

The cover is not the usual binding with a vertical strip on the blue background on the market. The cover is not rich in rouge. On the right side of the page are hollowed out plum blossoms. The inscription was engraved in molds and then printed again.

——Daguan Food Record

The paper of this booklet is not very expensive, and it is not familiar in the market. When Jia Ying touched it, it felt more like the feel of a modern book.

Jia Ying suddenly remembered Chen Wendao who was still in the hands of Mu Shi and the others. Thinking about it, this new paper-making method and even the new ink were squeezed from him. The cost is low, but it is very easy to use.

Now that Jia Ying is in charge of the accounts, she probably understands that in their house, there are not many people who love to read. Mrs. Jia's mother and wife copy Buddhist scriptures, and Jia Zheng occasionally runs a business. Not a small expense.

If it is really popularized and the cost threshold for studying is lowered, I am afraid that many people will be able to study and study. This is really a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and even spreads.No wonder Chen Wendao is so emboldened, when he pushes away, many scholars will support him.

In this way, Jia Ying realized that Mu Shi had helped her a lot by using her booklet for testing and promotion.In the future, when writing literature and history, I am afraid that when mentioning new-style books, I will inevitably mention this temptation. I am afraid that even the most staid Confucian scholars in Beijing will be moved.He can use it to curry favor with those real talents and practical learning, and to promote it in two ways, I'm afraid it will be more effective, and there is no need to take her petty troubles into consideration.

This is how he was so calm and calm at the time, so he could settle the score.

Jia Ying's heart was shaken, and his face was even more astonished. Yongchang only thought that she was moved by his cousin's thoughts, and wanted to add fuel to the fire, so he sighed: "Little cousin, you really don't know. Books have lost a lot of weight recently."

Jia Ying was so dazed that she didn't notice the address at all, she just forced a smile at Yongchang, she felt flustered for some reason, opened the book, and saw that there was another preface before her preface.
