Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Lai made jokes in the Rongqing hall, coaxing the old lady into a blush, and had dinner with her, and returned to the east courtyard after dark.

Standing by the window in the inner room, Jia Amnesty put his arms around Tang Xi's waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "There is news from the Princess Mansion that Lu Zilin forced a woman from a good family to death. If there is a life lawsuit, the memorial to impeach him tomorrow will probably fill up His Majesty's table." After a pause, Jia She said, "Xi'er, I assure you this is just the beginning, the eldest princess indulged her son to bully you like this , humiliate me, if I don’t make them pay a painful price, I will have no face to see you.”

Tang Xi leaned against Jia She's arms and smiled slightly, "I believe in you."

He raised his head and kissed Jia She on the chin, "Your reward."

Jia She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, leaned forward, and kissed her, "It's not enough..."

Kissing and kissing, a little confused, Jia She hugged Tang Xi and walked towards the bed. Just lying on the bed, Tang Xi pushed him with a blushing face, "The door is still open."

Just as Jia She was about to say something, he heard a maid shouting outside the door, "Master, grandma, the second master is here and wants to see the elder master."

With a pop, Tang Xi laughed out loud, looked at the black-faced Jia She, and pushed him, "Second Brother wants to see you, hurry up."

Seeing the smile in Tang Xi's eyes, Jia Amnesty gritted his teeth, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'll take care of you when I come back." As he said that, he got out of bed while tidying his clothes and went out. Seeing Wan Qing guarding the door, he said, "Go get some water, your grandma wants to take a bath." Gloating?Wait for him to come back in vain.

When Jia Amnesty came to the study, he saw Jia Zheng flipping through medical books, and said, "If you like it, take one back and read it."

At this moment, Jia Amnesty's ugly expression of being disturbed by good things was completely gone.

When Jia Zheng heard his elder brother's voice, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand, and said in embarrassment, "I just read it casually, elder brother should keep it for sister-in-law."

He had long heard that Jia Amnesty inquired about his sister-in-law's preferences, and collected a lot of medical books on purpose, even the envoy of the Qin Academy in the Imperial Hospital was alarmed.

"Sit down and talk," Jia Amnesty was noncommittal to Jia Zheng's words, and sat down at the table and poured tea from the teapot, "Come here so late, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing important, I just want to ask my elder brother for a favor." Jia Zheng sat across from Jia Amnesty with some embarrassment.

Jia She raised his eyebrows, "It's rare that you would ask me for help." After a pause, seeing Jia Zheng fidgeting, he smiled, "Okay, just tell me if you have anything to say."

"I want to ask my elder brother to help me hide it from my wife. I want to go south to study tomorrow." Seeing Jia Amnesty smiling at him, he knew that his elder brother agreed. Jia Zheng said directly.

Jia Amnesty was a little stunned, "I'm going to take your sister-in-law to Ning tomorrow, and you want to go south to study tomorrow?"

"I can't do anything about it." Jia Zheng smiled wryly, "After you left this morning, the master went to work, and the wife dragged me to talk a lot, urging me to get married inside and out. But I always thought that it would be better to get married after getting fame, so..."

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "You have to think about it carefully. Fame is better. With your accumulation over the years, it is not difficult to pass the child's exam, but you missed this year's exam. Next year there will only be county and government exams, and the hospital exam will have to wait another year. You will be seventeen in November this year, and you will be nineteen in two years. People like us live like me. There are very few people who get married after the crown ceremony. Those who were born in four kings and eight princes did not get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen? If I were not for the master, I would not let it go, and I would not get married until now. Although the master agrees that you have fame and then get married It's more face-to-face, but my wife is in a hurry, I'm afraid..."

"Didn't elder brother say that it would be better to have fame before getting married? Why don't you help me now?" Before Jia Amnesty could finish speaking, Jia Zheng became anxious.

When Jia Amnesty was interrupted, he was not angry, but was taken aback for a moment, looking at Jia Zheng who was in a hurry to get angry, he couldn't help laughing, "When did the elder brother say he won't help you anymore?"

"Then you just..."

"I'm just giving you a clear analysis of the situation, and then you consider what choice to make, and I, the big brother, won't interfere with you, but there are some things you may not have considered, so I have to remind you." Jia She explained patiently.

After hearing Jia Amnesty's words, Jia Zheng let go of his hanging heart, "Then brother, go ahead."

"You are indeed not young."

Jia Zheng frowned, "But the elder brother only got married after reaching the crown, why can't I?"

"Yes, it makes sense, but have you ever thought about whether the Wang family girl can afford to wait?" Jia She asked.

This sentence confused Jia Zheng, "Huh?"

"The eldest daughter of the Wang family is the same age as your sister-in-law. Last year she turned [-], and this year she will be [-]. In Beijing, girls who are not married at this age are all old girls. It's a good idea for you to marry a wife after you get fame and fame. Even if the master supports your imperial examination, the Wang family will press you for the sake of keeping the eldest daughter from becoming an old lady. The wife hopes that you will come sooner If you are married, it is useless only for the master to support you, after all, she is not too young."

Jia Zheng said with a bitter face, "But I..."

"If you have any ideas, just say, I am your elder brother, what else can you not say to me?"

Jia Zheng hesitated again and again, but still mustered up the courage to say what was in his heart, "Brother, I really didn't consider the age of the Wang family girl. I didn't think about it. But I still decided to go on a study tour. I went to Jiangnan and felt Only when I saw the flourishing style of writing over there did I realize how ridiculous it is to be complacent because of reading some books these years. Compared with those Jiangnan talents, what am I?"

Jia Amnesty looked at the wryly smiling Jia Zheng slightly in astonishment, and thought to himself, it seems that his second brother has been greatly stimulated by this trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

"If I follow my wife's wishes and get married this year, my wife will urge me to have children earlier next year. How is it enough to have one child? Many children are a blessing. If there are too many children, I will leave them to study, and my wife will definitely not allow it. I will take my wife with me." If I go south with my son, my wife will not allow it. Will I still have a chance to go south if this continues?"

"Brother, I already know what I am. As my brother said, I have learned enough in these years to pass the Tongsheng Examination, but after passing the Tongsheng Examination? Should I just stop at the Tongsheng Examination? No! I still want to take the rural examination. , will test, and even palace test."

"I'm not very old now, and it's time to study. I don't want to be distracted by other things. If I miss this time, it may affect my life."

"Brother, I don't want to regret it until I'm old."

This is really Jia Zheng's heartfelt words.

Jia She was silent for a long time, and sighed, "It's hard for you to think so much." After a pause, he raised his hand to stop Jia Zheng from speaking, and said, "Because your sister-in-law likes to study medicine, I also read some medical books. In fact, getting married is up to me. It's not too late, I will tell the master, but it is not suitable to go south tomorrow, after all, tomorrow I will take your sister-in-law to Ning, why are you looking for a bad day, but choose tomorrow? Don't worry, as long as you don't nod, ma'am I won't force you. Why are you afraid that you won't be able to get out of the mansion with me and the master covering you later? Just put your heart back."

Seeing that his elder brother had made a promise, Jia Zheng felt relieved, and was about to leave when his elder brother said, "However, I have a suggestion for you. You might as well tell Miss Wang what you mean, and try to make it sound as good as possible." said."

"Put it in a good way?" Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty in bewilderment.

Seeing this, Jia She said with a toothache, "Forget it, you don't know what will happen if you think about it yourself, you just say what I want, and you tell her that you insist on getting a degree before getting married. , I want to give her a better future. Wouldn’t it be good to be a talented woman after marrying? Besides, you still have to study, and you can’t take care of her after you marry now. It’s better to wait another two years. Isn’t this the best of both worlds? Besides, you go south Study tour, it’s been so long since I’ve been here, don’t forget to write a letter to Miss Wang’s family, that’s ok, you can just say what I mean, it’s getting late, go back and rest.” After finishing speaking, he turned and strode towards the backyard up.

It was only at this time that Jia Zheng remembered that his elder brother was newlywed Yaner, and he might have disturbed his elder brother's good affairs by running here at this time.

Thinking of this, I am ashamed and grateful.

His elder brother is such a nice guy.

Jia Amnesty could no longer control what Jia Zheng was thinking, so he hurried back to the backyard, and saw that the door of the inner room was closed tightly, Wan Qing and the girls were guarding the door, seeing Jia Amnesty hurrying over, they all blushed and lowered their heads.

Seeing this, Jia Amnesty paused, "Where's your grandma?"

"Yes, take a bath inside..." Wan Qing had met Jia She, so she was more courageous when facing Jia She, but when she thought of Tang Xi inside, she couldn't help but blush, and lowered her head tightly.

Jia She frowned when he heard this, "Stay away." Then he opened the door and went in.

"Sister Wan Qing, us?" Qiu Yu leaned close to Wan Qing and whispered.

Wan Qing's cheeks were flushed, she pulled a few little girls a little further away, and said, "You just listen to what my uncle says, and do as you please, there is no need to ask more."

The little girls scolded Wan Qing with a straight face.Commandment, all nodded timidly.

Except for Wan Qing and Qiu Yu who used to serve Tang Xi, the girls who came over as dowry were replaced by Mrs. Tang. is afraid.

"There is one more thing. I have to remind you that the uncle has a deep affection for our girl. If anyone dares to hook up with the uncle behind the girl's back, don't blame your sister for being ungrateful." Wan Qing warned.

No matter how fine the night outside is.Tell the little girls, Jia Amnesty has already entered the inner room, closed the door smoothly, and saw a graceful figure of a woman reflected on the screen.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help feeling hot inside, "Xi'er?"

"Plopping" suddenly came the sound of water behind the screen, and the figure on the screen suddenly squatted down. From Jia She's side, it was a woman hiding in the bathtub, only her head was still standing outside.

"You, don't come here, I haven't finished washing yet." Tang Xi heard from Wan Qing before that Jia Zheng and Jia She were discussing important matters, and they really came to take a bath because they were afraid they wouldn't come back. She didn't expect her Just after taking off his clothes, Jia Amnesty came back, what a coincidence! !

Jia She laughed when he heard the words, and when he walked around the screen, he saw Tang Xi was submerged in the water from the neck down, with his hands still covering his chest, and said teasingly, "Xi'er, you and I have touched each other at a negative distance, so what are you covering up? It's not like I haven't touched it before."
