Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

Jia Wan's Ji Ji ceremony is destined to be remembered by people for a lifetime.

In Mrs. Jia Shexing's inner house, Mother Jia was sitting and talking with a group of concubines when suddenly she heard a child shouting all the way: "Old lady save me, my father is going to beat me!"

Then I saw a young man rushing in like a rabbit chased by a dog, he jumped onto Jiamu's chair and hid behind Jiamu.

The female family members in the room were startled, thinking it was the famous Jia Baoyu, but when Jia's mother called out to call Qi brother, everyone realized that it was the equally famous ten-year-old Juren Jia Qi.

If it was Jia Baoyu, Princess Beijing and Princess Nan'an would definitely stand up and scold at the first time, but if it was Jia Qi... The female relatives immediately relaxed and said: "Today is a great day for your second sister, and it is also a celebration. Why would your father beat you if you won the exam? Don't worry, if your father comes, we will protect you."

As a result, before Jia Qi could speak, Jia Amnesty rushed in.

Jia Mu stood up immediately, with an angry face: "Presumptuous! Don't you look at this place? How old is Brother Qi? How can it withstand your heavy hand?"

If it had been Jia Zheng, he would have lowered his hands long ago, listened to Jia Mu's teachings, or knelt down and begged Jia Mu's forgiveness.

But it was Jia She, who sat on the ground with his buttocks, crying loudly, as if mourning a concubine.

Jia She cried and said: "I said Xiaosi, who is it not good for you to provoke? You only provoke that one! How old are you?! Your father and I are just a dude in Beijing. If you don't provoke that one, you Dad, I can still protect you, but now, now..."

While talking, Jia She began to cry again, a good patriarch, a man in his 60s and [-]s, crying like a confinement baby.

Mrs. Xing immediately grabbed her son by the ear, pulled him out from behind Jia Mu, made him kneel in front of Jia Amnesty, and said, "Say! What did you do!"

No matter what, let the son kneel down first, and then ask the son what mistake he made.

When the father is crying, the son should kneel down.

This is the rule.

People like Jia Yue, Jia Xuan and Jia Han already knelt down.

Jia Amnesty had already rushed over, snatched his son into his arms, and said: "My son is still young! You are willing to do it!" As he spoke, he hugged his son again and continued to cry.

Mother Jia was also dumbfounded.

What is the boss doing?

But Jia Amnesty knew how to cry, and when he asked him what he just shook his head, he didn't say anything.

Jia Mu had to say: "Boss! Are you plausible? Are you leaving the guests behind?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jia Lian running in all the way, with the square scarf on his head crooked.

As soon as Jia Lian rushed into the room, he didn't bother to greet Jia's mother, so he gasped and said, "Master, sir, holy, the imperial edict is here."

Jia She let out a wow and cried even harder.

Mother Jia had no choice but to make arrangements, and asked the housekeeper to take people to set up an incense case, and asked the girl to fetch Mrs. Jia Shexing and her own court clothes.

Only then did Jia Lian recover, and said, "Old lady, the angel said that there is one for sister Lin."

Jia Mu hurriedly sent someone to invite Lin Daiyu again.

It was a mess.

It took a long time for everyone to clean up. As Jia She's mother, Jia's mother also knelt down with the help of the girl.

Then Mrs. Jia Shexing, Jia Lian Wang Xifeng, Jia Cong and Jia Qi, the four adopted daughters of Jia She's family, and Lin Daiyu.

There are three decrees:

The first imperial decree was for Lin Daiyu. The emperor officially made Lin Daiyu the county head, and gave Lin Daiyu and Jia Cong a marriage.

The second imperial decree was for Jia Lian. From now on, Jia Lian was promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and was fully responsible for the investment promotion and quality control of cement.

The third imperial decree was for Jia Qi. The emperor appointed Jia Qi as the imperial servant and officially took office three days later.

The Great Wei imitated the Song Dynasty system, and at the very beginning, there was also an imperial imperial edict, which was to help the emperor draft edicts and other tasks, and he was also the emperor's exclusive secretary.However, the regent princess was not married but had an ambiguous relationship with several imperial servants at that time. Before the Supreme Emperor came to power, the imperial servants had become synonymous with the face of the regent princess.Therefore, the Great Wei now does not have an imperial imperial edict, and instead has a bachelor's degree, who is selected from the fourth grade, generally from the Imperial Academy.

Now, Jia Qi has suddenly become an imperial servant, how can he not attract attention?

Combined with Jia She's behavior after rushing into the inner house just now, the expressions of the female relatives are naturally strange.

Instead, the officials and guests in front immediately congratulated Jia She and his son.

Who can climb into the cabinet, which psychological quality is not leveraged?

In history, it is not uncommon for couples to climb onto the dragon bed together.However, with the quality of today's emperor and the current situation, the emperor would not do such a shameless thing.

Isn't that a ready-made handle?

Who knows what crime the old Prince Yizhong was deposed for?Preferring men|colors is one of them.

Several political advisers congratulated Jia She and his son first, then the six ministers, and finally the family of the four kings and eight princes who came to their senses later.

Jia Qi was only ten years old when he became an imperial edict. Don’t worry about Jia Qi’s ability or not—being able to pass the No. 2 Juren examination originally shows that Jia Qi’s knowledge is not bad. In the Great Wei Dynasty, as long as someone guarantees the recommendation, Juren can also become an official - just because he can enter the eyes of the emperor, the generation of the Jia family is absolutely beautiful.

Besides, Jia Qi is not their son-in-law, what are they worried about?

Anyone who knew that Lin Ruhai's achievements were half of Jia Qi's would not be surprised that Jia Qi was able to serve as imperial imperial edict.Many people even murmured in their hearts that just relying on high-yield overseas crops such as sweet potatoes is enough for Jia Qi to take up an official position. Jia Qi was too young before. Now, Jia Qi has passed the examination and is still in Yayuan. strangeness.

There is also that smart man who has already taken a fancy to cement and Jia Lian's industrial doctor.

The Tongzhou water conservancy project is not a secret. Many people know that Jia Lian used new materials in the Tongzhou water conservancy project when he was also a member of the Ministry of Industry.Interested people have long paid attention to cement.However, only the Lin family workshop had cement at that time, and the output was very limited, so we had to take care of Tongzhou first.

This is also human nature.

Who made Lin Daiyu Jia Qi's fiancée?

Who made Jia Lian Jia Qi's real brother?

It is only natural that the Lin family's workshop is close to Jia Lian.

Combined with the emperor's three wills, almost everyone who should know has guessed that the cement recipe is probably in the hands of the emperor, which is why Lin Daiyu was named the county head.

The veterans in the officialdom are concerned about the two brothers Jia Lian and Jia Qi.Anyone who is familiar with officialdom can see that although Jia Lian is only a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, the emperor has entrusted the quality control of cement to Jia Lian. In other words, Jia Lian will be in charge of the Ministry of Industry next, which will be a department !

A department of the Ministry of Industry!

what does that mean!

This means that Jia Lian will be in charge of a group of workshops, plus a group of subordinates, that is, the head of the Ministry of Industry with a fixed quota and the member of the Ministry of Industry with a variable number, Wailang!

This means that Jia Lian not only has money, but also people!There is an official position!

As long as you want to be promoted, as long as you want to find a real shortage, you must have a good relationship with Jia Lian.

All of a sudden, all the officials with ranks below the fifth rank and below the fifth rank and above the seventh rank looked at Jia Lian with eager eyes.

The family of four princes and eight princes and senior officials focused on Jia Qi.

They don't know why the emperor suddenly appointed Jia Qi as the imperial imperial edict, but one thing is certain, that is, from today onwards, Jia Qi will be a close minister of the emperor!

The emperor's close minister!

The emperor's confidant!

These two are actually a concept.

How old is Jia Qi?He is only ten years old!It's only 11 years old after the new year!

Since the emperor was able to let the ten-year-old Jia Qi be an imperial edict, it means that Jia Qi is different from ordinary people in the emperor's mind. With such honor and favor, Jia Qi's future will either be an extremely human minister or go to Caishikou. .

Looking at Lin Ruhai's achievements and seeing Lin Daiyu today, the possibility of the latter is really slim.

All of a sudden, Jia She's place was very lively. Those who congratulated Jia She's father and son, agreed that they would come to Lin Daiyu's funeral ceremony on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, planned to marry Jia She, and planned to give gifts to Jia Lian and Jia Qi. There are all kinds.

Some people even regretted that the gift they gave today was too light, why did they co-author and give a gift?If they knew that there would be such a decree, why not send three congratulatory gifts?

However, it is not too late now.

It would be a big deal to make up a few more copies, one for General Jia, one for Jia Gongbu, one for Jia Shizhao, and one for County Lord Lin. Forget it, the general's wife and Jia Juren will also send another copy.

In line with the principle of being courteous and don't blame many people, in the next two days, countless people poured into Jia's house, and countless gifts were delivered to Jia's house.

Some people, such as Shenzhizhengshi, Liubu Shangshu and other powerful ministers, even co-authored and gave a congratulatory gift, but the officials below gave gifts with great effort.

Most of these officials think so:

I'm currently stuck at the level from the fifth rank (sixth rank). If I go to the Ministry of Industry for gold plating, it will be three to five years, and it will not be easy to get promoted?There is no shortage of Jia Gongbu.

What's next for Long live?Those in the cabinet are all old fritters, so they will definitely not be able to find out anything.By the way, Jia Shizhao will definitely walk in front of the imperial court in the future, he is still young, if he can reveal one or two things...

The world has never been short of digging officials. Mrs. Jia Shexing even cleaned up a yard to clean up these gifts.

The ones for Jia Lian were delivered to Jia Lian Wang Xifeng's room.

For Jia Qi, send it to Jia Qi,

For Lin Daiyu, send it to Lin Daiyu,

For the girls of Jia Yue and Jia Wan, also send to these girls,

Those for Mrs. Jia Shexing and those for their family are kept in the warehouse.

The gifts of these few days alone gave Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan and Jia Han an extra box of jewelry.

Mrs. Jia Shexing has been busy here for seven or eight days before she packed up her things.But Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng had no rest yet, because Lin Daiyu's dress-off ceremony was next, and many dignitaries had already sent letters, expressing that they would attend on the day Lin Daiyu was filial piety.

this scene,

this piece,

But the envy of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang next door is broken.

Jia Zheng was completely envious of Jia Amnesty who gave birth to Jia Qi, a typical child of another family.

Although in Jia Zheng's mind, his Jia Baoyu was also smart since he was a child, but no matter how blind Jia Zheng was, he could still see the difference between Jia Baoyu and Jia Qi.Jia Baoyu is 12 years old and still hanging out in the inner house, but what about Jia Qi?He has been working hard since he was a child, practicing calligraphy on the screen with his wrists hanging for an hour every day, never discounting it, let alone shouting bitterly and tiredly.

Now, Jia Qi has not only become a world-renowned ten-year-old Juren, but also won the favor of the emperor.

Don't mention how awkward Jia Zheng was.

Jia Zheng didn't know how he got to Yihong Courtyard, but when he saw Jia Baoyu lying on the big bed in Yihong Courtyard coaxing Yu Chuan'er to drink soup and seeing him turn into a quail, Jia Zheng became angry.When Jia Zheng saw that there were pornographic books hidden in Jia Baoyu's room, and these pornographic books were still in the book case of serious books, Jia Zheng finally exploded.

Jia Zheng slapped Jia Baoyu's face with a slap. If it wasn't winter and the bed was not covered with thick mattresses, Jia Baoyu's head would bleed from the bed.

Thanks to Mrs. Wang's quick response, she knew that such a big happy event in the east would definitely stimulate Jia Zheng, so she sent someone to watch Jia Zheng early. Here, Jia Zheng entered the Grand View Garden. Over there, Mrs. Wang went to the Grand View Garden with Jia's mother. Come.

It was also thanks to Mrs. Wang's preparations, otherwise, Jia Baoyu would definitely be beaten into a pig's head by his own father.

It's just that Yu Chuan'er is pitiful.

Originally, Jin Chuan'er died because of Jia Baoyu, and Yu Chuan'er didn't want to talk to Jia Baoyu, but who made Mrs. Wang ask Yu Chuan'er to give Jia Baoyu something today?When Jia Baoyu saw her, he thought of Jin Chuan'er, left the other sisters, big girls and little girls behind, and coaxed her alone. What's worse, Jia Zheng saw her!

Just like her sister Jin Chuan'er, Yu Chuan'er was accused of seducing her brother, and was dragged outside the second door. She received twenty boards and died before the next day.

From the beginning to the end, Jia Baoyu didn't open his mouth to explain a word for Yu Chuan'er, let alone plead for mercy.

Jia Baoyu's cowardly and irresponsible behavior soon caused all the girls in the Grand View Garden to think deeply.

It's just that the two sisters, Li Wen and Li Qi, never thought of marrying Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu's behavior, to be honest, made the two sisters really feel cold.

Even though they lived in Xinghua Village, even if they were restrained by their widowed mothers and had a normal relationship with Jia Baoyu, they knew that Yu Chuan'er was always far away from Jia Baoyu because of Jin Chuan'er. They don't have a good face, and they know it.

But it was Yu Chuaner who died because Jia Baoyu coaxed her to drink soup and was seen by Jia Zheng. Why didn't Li Wen and Li Qi have any ideas?

Yu Chuan'er's death attracted most people's attention, but no one thought that Xiren would sue everyone in the Grand View Garden in front of Mrs. Wang behind his back.

Although Xiren didn't name them, Mrs. Wang has a bad feeling for these girls in the Grand View Garden.

Xiren's words confirmed Mrs. Wang's conjecture in her heart, that is: her son Jia Baoyu was raped by these people.

As a result, Xiren gained the trust of Mrs. Wang, and not only got the auntship of two taels of silver a dime a month, but also received clothes and dishes from Mrs. Wang every now and then.

Xiren was just a girl after all, and all she could see was the position of the aunt in Jia Baoyu's room.But Xiren is not the only one in the Grand View Garden, Xiren has his eyes on Jia Baoyu, but there are also servants who have seen Yu Chuan'er and Jia Baoyu's incompetence and lack of responsibility.

Jia Baoyu was the heart and soul of Mrs. Jia Muwang, and these girls naturally couldn't say anything wrong about Jia Baoyu on the surface, but in private, they might not have their own calculations.

Not only these girls, but also the girls above, no matter how stupid they are, someone will remind them with different recipes.

No, there was another fall in the Yingchun room.

Although Yingchun is nominally Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law, to Mrs. Wang, Yingchun didn't crawl out of her belly, but also took the name of her flesh and blood. Don't mention how tired Mrs. Wang is.

Tanchun and Aunt Zhao are helping out in the open and in the dark, and she is flattering. Mrs. Wang is waiting for Tanchun, so she can make a name for herself, can Yingchun do it?

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Wang is not unusual for a daughter like Yingchun who doesn't know how to greet her serious parents.

Therefore, even if Yingchun took the name of Jia Zheng's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang would treat Yingchun like that.However, Yingchun's nanny is ignorant. Seeing that Jia Zheng doesn't care about things, and seeing that Mrs. Wang doesn't take Yingchun seriously, she spends a lot of time on weekdays.

No, this mother Wang lost money again at night, drank again, sat on the embroidered pier and scolded people, scolded the little girl for being lazy and not smart, and scolded Wenxiu Caihe, the big girl next to Yingchun, for not knowing how to respect the elderly, scolding Cursing, she scolded Yingchun's head:

"There is a saying that water flows to low places, and people go to high places. Others have always been promoted step by step, but I am good. I follow a leftist, and I don't even want my own father. This is good, there is backgammon over there. Promotion, even Brother Qi, who is only ten years old, has become a fourth-rank official..."

Wen Xiucaihe, neither of them is an idiot, quickly came over and shouted in a low voice: "I'm going to die, can you say these words casually?!"

How should I put it, Yingchun is now Jia Zheng's daughter.Doesn't it make people feel that Yingchun looks down on Mrs. Jia Zhengwang when she says such things?Yingchun has been given up by Mrs. Jia Shexing and adopted by Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. If Mrs. Jia Zhengwang rejects her again, will Yingchun still survive?

However, both of them came from behind, and their family is really ordinary, they are not as confident as Siqi and Xiuju, so how dare they quarrel with Yingchun's nanny?

Unexpectedly, this Nanny Wang was drunk, seeing Wenxiu Caihe and the two dare not speak out, she thought she was justified and yelled loudly.Coincidentally, Mrs. Wang came out from Jia Baoyu's side, feeling upset, and when she walked near Zilingzhou, she heard people making noise, and became even more annoyed.

With a bang, Mrs. Wang directly kicked open the door of Zilingzhou, looking at the drunken Nanny Wang, and then at Jia Yingchun who came out to greet her honestly, Mrs. Wang didn't even lose her temper. where to come.

Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "Dogs don't think their mothers are ugly or their families are poor, what about you? You don't react when you see people talking about your parents in front of you?"

Yingchun opened her mouth, but didn't utter a word.

Mrs. Wang said: "I know, you must not be happy to see that I love Sanyatou. After all, Sanyatou is a concubine, and you are my own daughter now! But look at yourself! The nanny is disobedient, and she is a slap in the face. Can’t you throw it away? It’s because you are too lazy to do it yourself, so someone told me, and I will clean it up for you! But what about you! It’s up to her to arrange the parents, and you’re still in the mood to watch "Taishang Induction Chapter" here! I think Your book has been read into the dog's belly!"

Mrs. Wang spoke harshly, and Yingchun knelt down a long time ago.

Mrs. Wang lost her temper at Yingchun, and turned around and dragged away Yingchun's nanny, Wang Momo, and Wang Guier's family, whose daughter-in-law was also serving in Zilingzhou.

Mrs. Wang is not the childless Mrs. Xing who has no power at all in the original book. Mrs. Wang has been the wife of the Jia family for decades. Now Jia Zheng's housekeeper is all in the hands of Mrs. Wang , it is not easy to deal with two women?

Yingchun's nanny's family was dragged out just like that. The whole family, old and young, male and female, didn't even take away an earring, so they were just sold off.

Mrs. Wang was annoyed at Yingchun, Yingchun's nanny was gone, and there was also a missing daughter-in-law in the house, and Mrs. Wang did not make up for her.The people below saw that Mrs. Wang was annoyed by Yingchun, how could they not behave?Of course, this is all for later.

At the end of the year, the Jia family was very lively.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, when Lin Daiyu went out to perform her filial piety, the guests who came were no less than Jia Wan's Jiji ceremony, let alone the number of guests.

Of course, the girls in the Grand View Garden can only sit in the corner and watch.

Who made Jia Zheng still just an unassigned member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Wailang?

Who made them just neighbors on Jia She's side?

On the other hand, Lin Daiyu, under Jia Qi's leadership, met her father's old friend, and followed Mrs. Xing to get to know Jia She's contacts.

In this life, Lin Daiyu has been protected by Jia Qi, and Jia Qi is not such an irresponsible as Jia Baoyu, so Lin Daiyu's life is naturally satisfactory.Therefore, compared to the orphan girl in the original book who is cute and cute on the surface but is actually melancholy and sad, who is loved by Jia Mu on the surface and actually does not know if there is a tomorrow, Lin Daiyu now does not have to worry about tomorrow, so the current Lin Daiyu , whether it is appearance or demeanor, not to mention Xue Baochai Yingchun Tanchun and others, even Xue Baoqin, who has been praised, is eclipsed in front of Lin Daiyu.

In this life, Lin Daiyu has not only received the careful upbringing of her father, but also the sincere love and deliberate training of Jia Qi.

It can be said that Lin Daiyu in the original book was deliberately raised by the Jia family for Jia Baoyu, and now Lin Daiyu's vision is not even worse than those courtiers.

With a different vision, a different attitude, and naturally the aura is also different.

To put it more generally, Xue Baochai is obviously a business woman, but she behaves in front of Sanchun as if she is Jia Yuanchun, giving advice to Sanchun when she has something to do, regardless of whether she is a half-assed herself.

What about Xue Baoqin?She traveled many places with her father when she was a child, and her horizons were broadened, but she was still a little girl after all.

Therefore, when seeing Lin Daiyu, Xue Baoqin was attracted by Lin Daiyu.

For a moment, Xue Baoqin regretted why Lin Daiyu didn't live in the Grand View Garden. If Lin Daiyu lived in the Grand View Garden, then she would be able to get close to Lin Daiyu.

It is obvious that Xue Baoqin is not the only one who has such an idea, Xue Baochai is also.

Because Xue Baochai needs to please Mrs. Xing.

However, the two sisters are far less urgent than Jia Baoyu.

When Jia Baoyu heard that Lin Daiyu was going to pay her respects to Jia Mu, her body healed more than half immediately, and she went to Jia Mu's upper room on crutches despite the resistance of the maids.

Jia Baoyu is no longer promising, he is also Lin Daiyu's cousin, and in front of Jia's mother, Lin Daiyu rarely treats each other with courtesy.

Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu's peerless beauty and extraordinary bearing, which no girl in the Grand View Garden could match, so he immediately pestered Jia Mu to ask Jia Mu to keep Lin Daiyu behind.

Lin Daiyu had to decline repeatedly: "I appreciate the kindness of the old lady. It's just that I'm already grown up, not a child, so I can't be playful."

Although Lin Daiyu is the granddaughter of Jia's mother in name, but Jia's mother wanted to associate herself with Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu was not without objections.What's more, she has kept filial piety for so many years, and she is not familiar with Jia's mother, so naturally she won't be as close to Jia's mother as in the original book, let alone follow Jia's mother's wishes.

Jia Mu immediately frowned and said, "How old are you! It's time to spend some time playing! When you get married, you won't have so much time."

Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Old lady, Miss Lin is your direct granddaughter. How can she not know your love and love? It's just that we have a lot of things this year. Sister Yue is engaged, and Lian'er is promoted. , Cong’er and Qi’er won the election, and then sister Wan’s Jiji ceremony, and now Wansui has ordered Qi’er to serve as the imperial edict. It can be said that after this year, Lian’s daughter-in-law and I are on the heels of each other The back of my head, I can't be idle for a moment! Miss Lin's dowry has to be taken care of by herself. You know the dowry of Lin's dowry, the old lady, it is no less than our family's entire family! I don’t even have the time to take a nap! If possible, the daughter-in-law would be reluctant to be so wronged by Lin. Besides, this Grand View Garden is the place of the empress after all. picture."

When Lin Daiyu's dowry was mentioned, everyone's hearts moved.

Even the girls Xue Baoqin, Li Wen and Li Qi couldn't help but go to see Lin Daiyu.

They have all heard about Lin Daiyu's dowry. To put it bluntly, let alone the dowry, how many of the entire family's property can reach 400 million taels of silver?

As soon as Mrs. Xing mentioned Lin Daiyu's dowry, Mrs. Wang felt distressed and couldn't help but go to see Xue Baochai.

I knew there was today,

If she had known Lin Yatou would become the county head, she would have proposed to the Lin family!Anyway, the old lady wanted to make Lin girl and Baoyu together.

Mrs. Wang regrets deeply in her heart. If she had known that Lin Ruhai would retire from the Yan government in a safe and sound way, and if she had known that Lin Ruhai had such weight in the heart of the current emperor, she would not have deliberately let Lin Daiyu lose her temper, let alone accept it. Xue Baochai came.

This Xue Baochai, not to mention her identity and dowry is not as good as Lin's girl, yet she dares to despise her Mrs. Wang's son!

Lin Daiyu declined the invitation and kept a distance from Jia Baoyu. Mrs. Wang felt regretful, but she took a positive attitude towards Lin Daiyu's behavior.

After all, Lin Daiyu is Jia Qi's fiancée.

Their marriage contract has been agreed, and it is reasonable for Lin Daiyu to keep a distance from other men.

But the good fortune has spread throughout the Jia family, including Jia She's family and Jia Zhen in Wangma Lane. Everyone knows that her wife, Mrs. Wang, did not dislike Xue Baochai for having an older brother who caused trouble, but Xue Baochai dared to dislike her Mrs. Wang's son!He even wanted to give Jia Baoyu his cousin!

Mrs. Wang's heart was full of fire.

But what about a fire?

Right now Mrs. Wang has more important matters, so she has no time to argue with Xue Baochai.

Mrs. Wang asked Lin Daiyu with the kindest expression ever: "Girl Lin, Second Aunt is here to say a few words, what happened to that cement? But your father left it for you?"

If Lin Ruhai left it to Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Wang would have to fight for it anyway.

This is related to Jia Zheng's future.

Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu actually replied like this: "Second aunt asks, so my niece naturally dare not hide it." After speaking, Lin Daiyu paused, and Fang said: "This cement was not left to me by my father. When we were in the south Brother Qi doesn't know where to get this prescription. I don't know who the original owner of that prescription is. Apart from a few ordinary things, there are a few things in that prescription that are hidden. My father and Brother Qi worked hard to solve this mystery. One of the cement raw materials is iron ore slag, which can be found in ordinary blacksmith shops. My father said that Yantie official camp, even if It's iron ore slag, as long as the quantity is large, it will be eye-catching. Besides, I don't know if this recipe is true or not, and sweet potatoes and other crops are at a critical juncture, so my father can only shelve it."

It turned out to be the case.

Mrs. Wang also nodded secretly in her heart.

This makes sense.

Mrs. Wang has already inquired carefully and understood that cement is extremely important to the imperial court. It is impossible for Lin Ruhai to abandon this kind of thing. The only possibility is that Lin Ruhai at that time was inconvenient and had to put it aside.

Xue Baochai listened intently, seeing Lin Daiyu stop, hurriedly urged her.

Lin Daiyu said: "Later, the sweet potato and other crops were reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court fully implemented it. Naturally, our family saved a lot of labor. Although this cement is not as good as the three-component soil that is invulnerable to water and fire and will last for thousands of years, it is cheaper. First of all, it is not used. Glutinous rice, of course, does not need to take up food, and it can be used even in a famine year; secondly, since the former dynasty, there have been floods and droughts in various places, and the imperial court did not have so much money and grain. If this cement is really good, even if he compares it to It is not as good as compound soil, and it is not as good as a river embankment built with stones, but it is also better than sand, but the total cost is not much more than sandbags and sand. That's why I asked the lower levels to cooperate. In fact, it was Brother Qi who was doing it. "

Shi Xiangyun and Yingchun Tanchun listened in a daze, but Xue Baochai had already laughed: "Sister Lin, you and Brother Qi are really interesting. I heard that Brother Qi said in front of Long Live that this cement is all How did your credit get into my sister's mouth, it's all thanks to Brother Qi?"

Lin Daiyu's eyes flashed, secretly startled by Xue Baochai's energy, and worried about Jia Amnesty.

After all, it's about the Nine-Five Supreme Being, and it's the prelude to the king, so how can it be leaked to outsiders?Or an outsider like Xue Baochai.

Mrs. Xing didn't pay attention. Hearing what Xue Baochai said, she said with a casual smile: "This is a husband and wife. You protect me and I protect you. Only by working together can we live a happy life. If you love me Qiang, I love your Qiang, the young couple got angry and quarreled every day, can this day survive?"

Wang Xifeng covered her face early, leaned towards Mrs. Xing and said, "Come on, I knew that my wife must think I'm a hot-headed person. Can't I go?"

Mrs. Xing patted her, and said: "How can you be the same as Miss Lin? She is the youngest daughter-in-law, but you are the wife of our family! The eldest daughter-in-law! I don't rely on you inside and out! If you and Miss Lin is so soft, I'm going to jump!"

So much so that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang laughed and said yes repeatedly.

Lin Daiyu blushed a long time ago, but there was real joy in her eyes.

Xue Baochai looked at Lin Daiyu and couldn't tell what it was like.

Lin Daiyu's appearance is peerless, and her appearance is not bad. Compared with Lin Daiyu, there is an orchid in the empty valley, and a rich peony, it is difficult to distinguish between them. There is also a capable fiancé-in-law who protects her, even her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

What about yourself?Born in a merchant's family, it was already signed, but my brother is useless, causing trouble all over the place. Even if the family can prepare a dowry of 20 yuan for himself, it is only one-twentieth of Lin Daiyu's, and he even has all his clothes. A dowry is nothing more than a family's annual income.

Not to mention, I was about to be sixteen, but this marriage hadn't even been written off yet.

Although Jinyu Liangyuan is very loud, but Mrs. Wang, as her own aunt and future mother-in-law, never relents when she cheats herself. She is never polite when asking for money from Xue's family, but she is stingy with the marriage letter.The elder sister-in-law, Li Wan, is also an iron cock, she only knows how to take care of her son, and only cares about her.

Thinking of all these incidents, Xue Baochai's pain can be imagined.

Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun was subdued by Xue Baochai a long time ago, otherwise, when he saw Xue Baochai's expression, he would make fun of him.

At this time, I heard the announcement from the girl outside, saying that Jia Qi had come.

Mother Jia didn't let the girls in this room avoid her, and let Jia Qi in directly.In Jia's mother's heart, Jia Baoyu is still a child, and Jia Qi, who is two years younger than Jia Baoyu, is naturally also a child.Since it is a child, there is no need to be taboo.

Mother Jia didn't care that Jia Qi was already a fourth-rank imperial servant.

After Jia Qi entered the door, he saluted the elder very neatly, then sat down beside Lin Daiyu, and took out a small box from his sleeve.

Jia Baoyu was in awe when he saw it: "What is it, brother Qi, you are so rare? Why don't you give it to the old lady and give it to Sister Lin?"

Jia Qi said: "The old lady has seen few good things in her life? Although mine is not very good, but after all, I got it from the palace, and it is naturally for my wife."

Mother Jia hurriedly asked what it was, and Jia Qi rarely opened it in public.

Inside the box were ten large pearls, one inch in diameter, round in shape, extremely shiny, without any flaws.It's just that the colors are slightly different, there are light blue ones, pink ones, white and light yellow ones.Among them, the white ones are the most, enough for five.

Jia Baoyu yelled immediately, and even Mrs. Wang exclaimed: "Brother Qi, who gave you such an expensive gift?"

Mrs. Wang certainly recognizes the best Beihai pearls.

Jia Mu had already taken the tortoiseshell glasses from Yuanyang's hand, looked at them carefully, and said, "After all, they are practical, and the ones bought outside can't keep up."

Wang Xifeng immediately pestered Jia Mu to talk to them.

Jia Mu said: "There are many things that are not as useful as officials, but this pearl is an exception."

It turns out that Wei had strict grades for pearls, including diameter, size, roundness, color, and blemishes. Pearls of different origins and types had different standards.Of course, the finest pearls are reserved for royals only.

Jia Mu said: "This is the best Beihai pearl. It is also called Dongzhu on the side of Nvzhi. It is so big and has such a quality. I am afraid it is a good thing in the treasure house of Long Live."

Jia Qi smiled and said: "The old lady has made the point. This is a special reward for me today. I thought that the government's use is not as good as the official's use, so I thought, these are for Sister Lin, and I will find another one. Let’s honor the old lady.”

Jia Mu said: "You can't buy such a good pearl even with a hundred and eighty thousand silver!" Then she said to Lin Daiyu: "Lin girl, this is a good thing. You have to keep it. In the future, you and Qi When my brother gets married, it is better than others to match it with other beads as a sub-head."

After Jia's mother said so, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang naturally could only watch Lin Daiyu put away the ten big pearls.

Mrs. Wang said enviously, "Brother Qi, what good thing happened to you to get such a generous reward?"

Jia Qi immediately covered her mouth: "Second Wife, I can't say anything about the rules of imperial edicts."

Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing said repeatedly: "Come on, if you can't say it, then don't say it, and we won't ask you."

Jia Baoyu suddenly said: "Sister Lin, there are only snow geese around you? Why are Sister Yingge and Sister Zijuan missing?"

Parrot and Zijuan were both Jia Mu's maids, but one was Lin Daiyu's first love.
