Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]
Chapter 28
The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is a small year, and there are always many things to do during the New Year, especially ancestor worship, and there is nothing wrong with it.As for Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, and Lin Daiyu, who have patents on their bodies, they have to go to the palace to receive a banquet and kowtow, which is even more difficult.
Seeing the three women in the big house following Jiamu into the palace in a sedan chair, especially Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in the guard of honor of the county magistrate, Mrs. Wang who had been deprived of her imperial order could only stay at home with her white daughter-in-law Li Wan. What's going on inside, no one knows.
After beating Jia Wan's ceremony, Mrs. Wang hoped that Jia Yuanchun would visit her relatives again, but Jia Zheng was a coward. Mrs. Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu came back from the palace. Only now did Mrs. Wang know that a very important concubine next to the Supreme Emperor is not well. The Supreme Emperor is forcing the Imperial Hospital to see this lady.
Mrs. Wang was extremely disappointed.
Jia Zhu is dead, Jia Baoyu is young, and looks like that again, although Mrs. Wang has a grandson Jia Lan, but Jia Lan is kept in the hands of her mother Li Wan, and Mrs. Wang is a grandmother, Jia Lan will be promising in the future However, Rong Xian is still the wives and children of Li Wan and Jia Lan, and has nothing to do with Mrs. Wang.
As for Aunt Zhao's two children, how could Mrs. Wang let them have a good future and make things difficult for her?
Therefore, Mrs. Wang is eagerly looking forward to Jia Yuanchun being able to visit her relatives again and give herself a face, which is logical.
Jia Yuanchun is not only the solid backing of Mrs. Wang, but also the glory of Mrs. Wang, and also the main source of Mrs. Wang's wealth at this stage. Why doesn't Mrs. Wang think about it?
Unfortunately, this year's Mrs. Wang can only be disappointed.
That is, this year, Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing to report on his work. Counting the time, Wang Ziteng left the capital after Jia Qi was five years old when he sued the imperial court. It has been five years since this year, shouldn't it be time to come back?Not to mention, Wang Ziteng also has a daughter, who is as old as Xue Baochai and Jia Yingchun. Wang Ziteng has only such a daughter and no son, so why not take it seriously?In previous years, even if there was a Jiji ceremony outside, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was reluctant to marry her daughter to outsiders.
As the old saying goes, if you don't go to the capital, you don't know the official school.
The real dignitaries are all in Beijing.
Therefore, not only on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue took Jia Baoyu and Yingchun Tanchun Xue Baochai back to the Wang family. Even Wang Xifeng went back to Mrs. Xing and went to Wang's house alone.
In this way, Xichun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, and Li Wen and Li Qi would be bored, and Mother Jia was a little tired these days, so she didn't want to hear these little girls chattering, so she sent them to find Lin Daiyu.
When Shi Xiangyun stepped into the flower hall where Lin Daiyu used to entertain guests, he immediately noticed the soft touch under his feet. Shi Xiangyun was taken aback, and looked around, only to see that all the furniture here were wrapped in thick brocade, and immediately felt sore Li: "Sister Lin is so angry here."
In fact, Shi Xiangyun really wanted to say that it was the same as the women's room in the building.However, she was frightened by Jia Qi, for fear that Jia Qi would punish her, so, the unpleasant words spun around her mouth, and finally swallowed them back.
Not to mention how uncomfortable Shi Xiangyun was.
Brother Ying, who was instructing the second-class maids to serve tea, heard about it, and said quickly, "Miss Yun laughed. Who made the third sister of the second grandma's family so active! That little master can crawl in eight months. I don't know where I crawled to if I made a wrong eye, and the two nurses and four girls in the district can't look at her at all. Now it is one and a half years old, not only can crawl, but occasionally stand up and walk around. Because I am afraid that she will hurt if she falls. That's why thick carpets are laid everywhere, and the furniture is covered with satin. Not only our girl's place is like this, but also in the wife's room, the second grandmother's room, and several girls' rooms. "
The third sister Parrot mentioned was Wang Xifeng's daughter.Jia Yue was born one month before her birthday, and is exactly one and a half years old this year.
Li Wen and Li Qi both quickly said: "That's not true, children are delicate, it's not good to touch them, you should be more cautious."
Xichun asked curiously, "The third sister will leave now?"
Xichun remembers very clearly that when she was four or five years old, she was still hugged by her nanny.
Brother Ying said: "On our second girl's birthday last year, our fourth master didn't know where to get the news, saying that children can only grow well if they climb a lot, so when we met our third sister in front of my wife, we I like to tease the third sister. That's why the third sister likes our fourth master very much, and even our second master is jealous. The wife and the second grandma are naturally happy to see that the third sister is delicious, fun, and loves to laugh and make trouble. Hold on to my sister. The second grandma has a lot of things to do, and during the day, when the second grandma is busy, the wife will hug the sister to her, and occasionally the girls will help take care of it. Therefore, there are such houses everywhere."
Xue Baoqin said with a smile: "It is rare to see such an active child, so it can be seen that he is a very healthy child."
Shi Xiangyun said: "This kid is not young, why doesn't he even have a famous name?"
Brother Ying smiled and said: "As for the girl, our master and the second master have been thinking about it for so long, but we still haven't chosen a good one. Later, we still asked the fourth master and our girl to decide for the third sister. I gave a big name, a single name with the word Mao, which means lush vegetation, and a nickname, Qiaojieer, which was just published this year. I’m just a girl, how can I call my little master’s name? , naturally we can only call according to the ranking."
Li Wen and Li Qi said in two consecutive voices: "That's right, it's exactly this ceremony."
Shi Xiangyun looked around for a while, and said, "Sister Lin is so ordinary here."
Lin Daiyu's dowry shocked the entire government and the public. In Shi Xiangyun's impression, Lin Daiyu's room should be resplendent and full of antiques, or it would be full of gold and jade playthings.But who would have thought that this flower hall for hospitality is exquisite, but there are no antiques. Although there are gold and jade ornaments, but not many, even the playthings placed on the antique racks are mostly new gadgets.
Xue Baoqin paused, did not speak, and continued to drink tea.
Li Wen and Li Qi also raised their heads, looked at them, and said, "If you want me to say, this place is elegant and exquisite, which is very good. After all, not everyone can use the emerald fruit plate and agate plate, and not everyone can use it. They used the official kilns of the Song Dynasty as ordinary objects."
Jia Baoyu took an antique fan and tore it for the girls around him to play with, put fruit on an agate plate and gave it to others, and the things in the house had to be replenished every now and then. Li Wen and Li Qi had noticed it a long time ago, but they were The guest is still Li Wan's cousin, so it's not easy to speak.
Shi Xiangyun said: "Who doesn't know that Sister Lin is a rich man. Others can't afford it, and it's not like she can't afford it."
Coincidentally, Lin Daiyu happened to change her clothes, and when she heard it at the door, she said, "Sister Yun, where are you getting angry? That's right, Sister Bao and Brother Bao have gone to Wang's house. Sister Yun is inevitably lonely, I don't know Am I right?"
Shi Xiangyun looked at the girls running behind Lin Daiyu, looked at the room, there were also two rows of girls waiting to be summoned at any time, then looked at himself, there was only Cuiwei beside him, not to mention young, not smart enough, and his heart became more and more angry .
"Sister Lin is such a big show!"
I don't want someone behind Lin Daiyu to laugh and say: "Sister Yun is wrong, it's not that there are many people around Sister Lin, it's because we are here too."
Only then did Shi Xiangyun see that behind Lin Daiyu were Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan, and Jia Han. The one who answered was naturally Jia Yue.
Because they were not in front of Jia Mu, these few did not wear the resplendent bird-gold furs, but the furs. Because the room was warm, they undressed, removed the cloaks and Zhaojun coats under the service of the girl, so they were in the house just now. No one saw it.
Shi Xiangyun looked at this, looked at that, and then looked at the fur that the girls took down, and suddenly said: "Seeing you, I suddenly thought of Sister Xing, but unfortunately, she does not have this blessing."
Shi Xiangyun is really the one who does not open the pot and which pot to lift.
When is it not good to mention Xing Xiuyan, it must be at this time.
Jia Wan was angry in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said, "It's no wonder that Sister Yun still misses her. I thought, until now, only the wife and we remember her. By the way, Sister Yun, I heard that the historian The two marquises have made up for the real shortage and left Beijing? Why did they leave you in Beijing..."
Shi Xiangyun interrupted her angrily: "They are just my uncles, if there is something wrong, why would they tell me?!"
Jia Wan originally wanted to say that the timing of Baoling Hou Shiding and Zhongjing Hou Shi Nai's departure from Beijing was not quite right, they actually left the capital at the end of November under the wind and snow, I am afraid that there is another reason for this.Seeing Shi Xiangyun's appearance, Jia Wan immediately stopped talking.
The historian has nothing to do with her, Shi Xiangyun, a girl from the historian, doesn't care anymore, so why should she bother?
For a moment, the room became awkward.
Only then did Xue Baoqin speak: "Sister Lin, the porcelain you put here is so special, I haven't seen many of them before. And that one, that one is Chai Qingtian?"
Chai Qingtian, that is the collective name of only 63 handed down works of Chai Kiln.These 63 works handed down from generation to generation all came from the firewood kiln handpicked by Chai Shizong in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Chai Shizong's reign was short, but his aesthetic standards were high. After many years of war, there are only 63 famous firewood kilns left.
It is said that there are only 27 pieces in the palace.
Lin Daiyu looked at Xue Baochai's finger and couldn't help laughing: "This is not Chai Qingtian, this is a fake."
"Fake?"
"Yes," Lin Daiyu said, "Actually, Brother Qi doesn't have anything to ask him to do in the palace. Therefore, except for Long Live's summons, he mostly follows Yi Wang, who also manages Xuanhui Mansion. The clothes worn by Wansui and the pens and ink used are all under the command of Prince Yi. When burning other utensils, Xuanhui Mansion will occasionally burn some other things. This is from Xuanhui Mansion, and it is said that Xuanhui Mansion It is one of the batch of porcelain that most resembles Chai Qingtian."
The color is like the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime.
This is the most obvious feature of Chai kiln porcelain. Although this lily vase was made by a famous craftsman in Xuanhui Prefecture, the azure color is not clear enough. It is as bright as a mirror and as thin as paper, but the sound is a little bit worse.It is said that the one given to Dongying by the previous dynasty would make a sound of "Kang-Kang--" when wine was poured into it and then poured out, but the sound of this one was much worse.
Lin Daiyu carefully introduced the difference between the bottle and the records, and asked the girl to take it down and show it to everyone. Only then did everyone understand that Jia Qi got the bottle from Xuanhui Mansion for Lin Daiyu to play with.
Only then did Shi Xiangyun put on a disdainful look, and said, "It turns out it's a fake. Sister Lin is also real. You keep all the good things, are you reluctant to take them out?"
Before Lin Daiyu could open her mouth, she heard Jia Xuan say: "Aunt Yun, what does Aunt Yun mean, like in Uncle Bao's house, are you using either emerald fruit plates or agate plates? Or are they not antiques?"
Jia Han also said: "That's right, I've also heard that the girls in Yihong Courtyard are so weird, how strong is the jadeite? They can report damage, and the silk-wrapped agate plate, I heard it broke every now and then. It’s cracked. Let me tell you, the girls in Yihong Courtyard are too careless. Is it because they don’t know how to cherish things, or is there another reason..."
"That's not true. How much is the salary of the second master in a year, and how much money did they get when they separated? It's such a waste now, and it will be spread in the future. I don't know how big an accident it will be..."
With that said, both Jia Xuan and Jia Han shook their heads.
When the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng separated their families and clans, they were supervised by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, so when the families were separated, the properties of the two families were cleared, and Mrs. Wang's dowry and private house were also taken away. It has been copied, so the property of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang at that time was definitely not much.
And the only source of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's property can only be when Jia Yuanchun was canonized, those merchants and small landlords brought their properties to invest.
Mrs. Wang must keep these money and property in her own pocket, and will not take them out and throw them into the Grand View Garden project.The only one who can make Mrs. Wang take out money is only one and a half, that one is Jia Baoyu, and the other half is Jia Zheng.
And with Mrs. Wang's ruthlessness, after collecting the money from those small landlords, she took their daughters to be maids in the Grand View Garden, and then killed these people bit by bit, so as to completely control the money and land, such a thing , Mrs. Wang can definitely do it.
After all, these people who have taken refuge in Mrs. Wang are already Mrs. Wang's servants in name. If Mrs. Wang wants to clean up her own servants, as long as no one makes him a big deal, it will be profitable and reasonable for Mrs. Wang.
Thinking of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's financial situation, and Jia Baoyu's appearance of not being distressed when she ruined it, Jia Xuan and Jia Han feel disgusted every time they think of it.
Where and what kind of property did Jia Baoyu waste, it was clearly human lives!
The girls in Jia Baoyu's house were greedy for valuable jade and agate artifacts, they were clearly corpses!
Shi Xiangyun couldn't see Jia Xuan and Jia Han speaking ill of Jia Baoyu. Naturally, he couldn't speak ill of Mrs. Wang, but Xichun had already said: "Sister Lin, are all the things here new?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Yes, except for a few items that Brother Qi got in the palace, the rest were all made by me and Brother Qi in the workshop below."
Shi Xiangyun immediately understood, and immediately said: "Last year was very cold, there were snowstorms everywhere, and there were refugees everywhere. The old lady is still planning to give out porridge. Sister Lin is so extravagant, I'm afraid it's not good?"
Jia Yue immediately said: "Sister Yun is wrong. It's our family giving porridge and rice, but how many people can be saved? Those disaster victims have not stopped after this meal, isn't it the same trouble? Besides, this The winter is very cold, there have been several heavy snowfalls, and even some people in the capital collapsed their houses under the pressure of the snow. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, I am afraid that the spring flood will be fierce. So, sister Lin has already ordered to go down, and the village has already The house is ready, and the workshops are trying their best to recruit people, just to stabilize the hearts of the people. If we are frugal at this time, the workshops below will lay off workers together, so that those who could find jobs in the workshops to support their families will also become successful. If you are a refugee, that would be bad."
Lin Daiyu also said: "Sister Yun has people in her heart, so it's great. Please rest assured, sister Yun, the court is already preparing food."
The rich and powerful's family helped the common people, but they were afraid that they would be labeled as buying people's hearts.Therefore, even if the rich and powerful families have money and food, they can only give out a little when they encounter a catastrophe. For so many common people, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
However, the imperial court has no surplus food, and in times of famine, the rich and powerful families have food but cannot provide too much food, and the imperial court wants to provide relief to the victims but has no food, and there are corrupt officials obstructing it, it is no wonder that the world is not chaotic!
In contrast, using Zhuangzi workshops to take in refugees is a good way to relieve stress.Furthermore, if these refugees are really willing to stay, there will be many more young and strong people on Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi's self-defense ability will also be greatly improved.And Zhuangzi's self-defense ability is greatly improved, it will attract more people, and naturally, there will be more output.
It is an affirmation to everyone in Zhuangzi to choose the best of these outputs and give them to Lin Daiyu, and to give appropriate rewards to relevant personnel.
And Lin Daiyu's use of these things is also an affirmation of this Zhuangzi and this workshop.
The middle and lower classes of society always think about how to save money and add another property to the family.Marriage of children is an unbearable burden for these families.
What the top class of society really needs to think about is how to feed more people with less land and ensure the happiness and life satisfaction of these people, so as to eliminate a series of adverse consequences brought about by land mergers. Intangible, all kinds of disasters that may be caused by the displacement of the people, such as military disasters, are eliminated invisible.
This is the difference between Jia Qi and everyone in the Jia family.
This is also the real reason why Jia Qi only identified Lin Daiyu.Because only Lin Daiyu would understand him and would fully cooperate with him.As for the rest of the women in the original book, it is good enough not to make trouble for him.
Of course, Jia Qi is also very fortunate, that is, he chose to sue the imperial court early, so Jia Amnesty did not lose much money in his hands.Similarly, because Lin Daiyu's property did not suffer too much loss, and Lin Daiyu was willing to cooperate with him, so even if he didn't have to take part in the palace examination, he could still take a roundabout way to achieve his goal.
Few of the other women could understand Jia Qi, let alone fully cooperate.I believe that most women in this world will only hold the dowry and power tightly in their hands, instead of cooperating with Jia Qi like Lin Daiyu.
Shi Xiangyun is also one of the people who can't understand this. Even if she was born well, the historians have provided her with a good education, but she herself is a girl's brain and a girl's vision. She doesn't even have the qualities of a lady, but Lin Daiyu's vision She has surpassed the range of a lady and reached the level of a top official. Lin Daiyu can tolerate Shi Xiangyun's rudeness, but Shi Xiangyun only feels that she is suppressed by Lin Daiyu, but she doesn't know how she is inferior to Lin Daiyu.
Shi Xiangyun became more and more frustrated, and sat down to the side angrily.
On the other side, Xichun has already been attracted by a disc.
It was a small shallow plate with delicate and pure texture, and there was a delicate pastel painting on the bottom of the plate. A skinny old plum with pink and tender flowers on its top, its horned dragon-like roots firmly grasped the roots below. A stone, a bamboo branch with a slanted root, and a clump of dwarf roses on the other side.
Golden roses, green leaves, black stones, dark brown old plum trees, bamboo branches that seem to have dewdrops, pink plum blossoms that look like flowers and snow, and large pieces of white space, although there is no poetry But this painting is an excellent poem, which is pleasing to the eye.
Xichun is learning painting right now, what doesn't she like?
Lin Daiyu had to have someone take it down for Xichun to enjoy.
Xue Baoqin had some insight, so she saw it at a glance: "Carmine? Is this made by the palace supervisor?"
"Carmine?"
Li Wen and Li Qi looked at each other with astonishment on their faces.
They also know.
Shi Xiangyun blurted out: "What is Carmine?"
Xue Baoqin quickly said: "I heard that too. It is said that Wansui today likes to play with these things very much. Whether it is making small clothes for his pet dog Fufu, or utensils for his daily use, he is very particular about them. Among them, Jincai and Carmine are It is the logo of the famille rose porcelain of the Wansui official kiln."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "What kind of logo is just that gold powder is used in official kilns, but how can ordinary folk kilns be willing? Although Wansui is strict, he only stipulates a few types of utensils and inscriptions on these things. The rest, including these Carmine and gold color, there is no limit to Long Live."
In the past, no folk kiln was willing to spend such a large capital.However, Jia Qi has always been as long as the law allows, he will do it, so he doesn't care whether the capital is more or less.Anyway, he is not short of money to spend.
Lin Daiyu had heard that Jia Qi made the emperor impatient, and finally threw down a handbook, saying that even if Jia Qi's own workshop produced gold and carmine, as long as the shape and style of the utensils were not among the taboos , then he will never pursue it, and neither will the future emperor.
With the emperor's guarantee, the Lin family's porcelain kilns began to produce gold powder and carmine, but there are really so many capable people in the Lin family's workshop, and they actually produced things that are not inferior to the official kilns.
The one Xichun is playing with now is the first batch sent by the Lin family, and it's still painted by Lin Daiyu.
Xichun said: "It turned out to be a gift from Sister Lin's workshop."
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "It's not the only one. Brother Qi even got a copy of "The Picture of the Qingming River" from the painter Lang last time, and he has asked someone to make it. The fourth younger sister likes it. If the fourth younger sister likes it, I will tell the following to burn it more. Make a set."
How could Xichun not like it.
"The Picture on the Qingming River" is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, it was brought into the palace very early, and it is not easy for ordinary people to see it. Since Xichun is a person who loves painting, he naturally thought about it many times in his dreams.It's just that with her identity and the ability of General Wei Lie's mansion, it is impossible for her to see him.
Although there are many copies of "The Picture on the Qingming River" in this world, the painter Ke Lang is the royal painter of the current emperor, so he naturally has a unique skill.
To be able to obtain a copy from Master Lang and burn it into a porcelain painting, the energy required for this reason is by no means trivial.
Furthermore, porcelain painting is a famous product of the capital, but very few of them are really well done.Like Lin Daiyu, she has a porcelain kiln in her hand, and she can burn as much as she likes, and smash it if she is not satisfied, until she makes the best one.The cost alone is not much lower than that of official kilns.
The official kiln is such a rule that unqualified porcelain can only be smashed, so all the products that come out are good things.After all, folk kilns have to survive, and there are really few who are willing to smash good things. Therefore, the things of folk kilns have always been mixed.
However, on the official kiln side, no status is out of reach. Even if you have status, you may not have such great power.The Lin family's porcelain kiln is willing to spend money, so those who like this, or want to marry their daughters with some golden and carmine porcelain with long faces, are willing to place an order with the Lin family's porcelain kiln.
Although there are only a few items on the surface of the Lin family porcelain kiln, the Lin family porcelain kiln accepts customization.As long as it looks good, I will keep it for you and make it for you, and the manuscript sent by someone will be sent back later. Therefore, some exquisite people like to order it from the Lin family porcelain kiln.First, you can get good things, and second, your own handwriting, especially the handwriting of your own girls, will not fall outside.
Even though it was still January, the order for Lin's porcelain kiln had already been scheduled for the second half of the year.Unless it was Lin Daiyu and Jia Qi, the others could only wait if they wanted something.
"Sister Lin is so generous."
Shi Xiangyun was very jealous.
She already knew that there was probably no other woman in this world who could have such a generous dowry as Lin Daiyu.
But who knows, Lin Daiyu actually replied like this: "It's just that Zhuangzi has taken in too many people, so it produces more and the things are made more exquisitely. It's nothing."
Lin Daiyu didn't even tell Shi Xiangyun that she had three porcelain workshops in her hands, and they exchanged what they had and competed with each other, and only the best things could be delivered to her.
It just so happened that at this time, sister Qiao, accompanied by the nanny and the maids, rushed in with her short legs, shouting "Auntie and Auntie".Qiaojie is still young, the outside floor is covered with a hard floor, while the floor inside the house is covered with carpet, which is soft, Qiaojie still can't adapt well, so she sat on her butt all of a sudden.
The girls in the room all exclaimed, even Xichun threw away the porcelain painting plate she couldn't put it down, and turned to look at Qiaojie, Shi Xiangyun even stood up, ready to help Qiaojie up.
Lin Daiyu held her down.
Shi Xiangyun was surprised and angry: "Sister Lin!" You are such a person!
Lin Daiyu didn't look at Shi Xiangyun at all, but looked at Qiaojie, but she didn't forget to tell all the girls present who were stopped by the maids: "It's okay, Qiaojie will stand up by herself."
Sure enough, Sister Qiao didn't cry, but just widened her eyes, as if she was surprised that she would fall down, then adjusted her posture, and really stood up by herself.
This time, sister Qiao walked more carefully, not as fast as before.
Seeing Sister Qiao walking steadily, Lin Daiyu, Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan and Jia Han all applauded: "Brother Qiao is so amazing."
Sister Qiao showed a bright smile, and threw herself into Lin Daiyu's arms, and then put a wet kiss on Lin Daiyu's face, then turned her face, and yelled at Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan and Jia Han: "Eldest aunt, second aunt, eldest sister, second sister."
"Hey~"
Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan, and Jia Han agreed, and Jia Wan, who was able to sit in, took Qiao Jie's little hand and shook it twice, in exchange for Qiao Jie's brighter smile.
When her eyes turned to Xichun and the others, Qiaojie couldn't help touching her head with a confused expression.
Lin Daiyu had to introduce her one by one.
Qiao Jie obediently called her aunt five times, then threw herself into Lin Daiyu's arms, pointing the back of her head at the guest.
She is shy.
With Qiaojie as a cute little girl, time flies very fast. When Qiaojie was tired and wanted to sleep, and the sky was getting dark, Xichun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, Li Wen, and Li Qi all stood up, ready to say goodbye.
Generally speaking, Xichun was very satisfied with today's visit. Lin Daiyu not only gave her the plate, but also promised to give her a set of porcelain paintings of "A Picture on the Qingming River".
Xue Baoqin, Li Wen and Li Qi were also very satisfied, because like Xichun and Shi Xiangyun, they all got a tea set and a tea pet.
Lin Daiyu also asked Shi Xiangyun to bring each of Yingchun Tanchun and Xue Baochai a set. Yingchun is ice-cracked celadon, Tanchun is ice-cracked white porcelain, and Xue Baochai is fine white porcelain.
Shi Xiangyun felt very boring on Lin Daiyu's side, and Mrs. Wang was also full of anger when she came back from her natal family.
Wang Xiluan, Wang Ziteng's daughter, is one year younger than Xue Baochai and two years older than Jia Baoyu. Her father is Wang Ziteng. Things have cooled down in other people's hearts. Now that Jia Yuanchun has become an imperial concubine, Wang Ziteng naturally found a way to be dispatched back to Beijing.
When Mrs. Wang heard the news that Wang Ziteng was about to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, her heart became active.
Wang Xiluan, Wang Ziteng's daughter-in-law, is not engaged either. Wouldn't it be better if he could marry Jia Baoyu?
Mrs. Wang is quite confident in the ability of her own brother Wang Ziteng.Furthermore, if Jia Baoyu and Wang Xiluan were engaged, could Wang Ziteng still ignore Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng?
Looking at the beautiful niece, Mrs. Wang was moved.
Mrs. Wang immediately showed a little meaning to her brother and sister-in-law.
Mrs. Wang thought that since her daughter was already an imperial concubine, it was probably because of Jia Yuanchun's relationship that Wang Ziteng was able to return to Beijing. Therefore, for the benefit of the two families and to strengthen the relationship between the two families, it was also the same for Jia Baoyu to marry Wang Xiluan. A wonderful marriage.
But Mrs. Wang never expected that Wang Ziteng not only did not agree, but even asked Mrs. Wang directly: "Have you forgotten the agreement between you and your sister?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned.
Mrs. Wang Ziteng also laughed and said, "That's not it. It's been a few years since the good fortune has been passed on? We've long wanted to have the wedding wine between Baoyao and Baoyu, but Baoyu is still young, so we have to. Sister, Baoyu and Baoyu To hold a wedding, sister, don't forget us."
The relationship between Mrs. Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang is not very good, just like Mrs. Wang can hate Jia Min all her life for a little thing, Mrs. Wang Ziteng looks down on this greedy, cold, selfish and ruthless sister-in-law.Mrs. Wang has no tolerance for Jia Min, the husband's only sister, so how can she get along with her sister-in-law peacefully?
The relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Min is not good. Mrs. Wang herself is [-]% responsible. After saying that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Ziteng have a bad relationship with sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang still has to bear at least [-]% of the responsibility.
In the past, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was tolerant to Mrs. Wang for Wang Ziteng's sake. Now that she seized the opportunity, Mrs. Wang Ziteng would sue Mrs. Wang in front of Wang Ziteng: "Speaking of it, let's go to Beijing It’s too late. I heard that gold-colored carmine pink porcelain is popular in Beijing this year? It’s a pity that our master’s grade is not enough for Xuanhui Mansion to even out. Although the Lin’s porcelain kiln also has it, the workmanship is also excellent, but it’s a pity. The price is too high, and it will take a long time. You have to wait a year to get it. By the way, although my brother-in-law's family has separated, County Master Lin is still my brother-in-law's niece. I wonder if my sister can help with the matter? I heard that County Lord Lin’s dowry is 400 million? Oh, who in this world has so much dowry! Even if it’s only one-tenth of it, it’s amazing! After all, the prince’s family expenses are only that little. The Grand View Garden also gave away 40 taels of property, right? We, Xiluan, can have so much dowry, I would wake up laughing from my dreams."
Wang Ziteng's face became more and more gloomy following his wife's words, and in the end, it was almost dripping water.
These two younger sisters, one stupid and the other ruthless, raised two sons, one was so ignorant that he didn't even know how to kill someone, and the other was so naive that he didn't know that he could live for a few days.
How could Wang Ziteng be willing to marry his daughter to Jia Baoyu?
When Mrs. Wang needed money from the Xue family, she held Xue Baochai up to the sky, and when she didn't need money, she set her sights on herself.
Now that she thinks that she can pave the way for Jia Baoyu, she asks to marry her daughter, and the career is ups and downs. In the future, if she has a chance, will she kill her daughter to marry her son?
It's not that Wang Ziteng has no brotherhood, it's that Mrs. Wang is too cruel and her heart is too dark.
What's more, the consideration of marriage has never been about increasing relatives, but the power of the two families. His prince Teng has no son, but his prince Teng has his own ability, but what about Jia Zheng? Over 20 years of experience in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.Even his nephew climbed on top of his head!Jia Baoyu is like that again, he is still a big auspicious person who was born with jade in his mouth!
It's no wonder Wang Ziteng would want such an in-law!
Seeing the three women in the big house following Jiamu into the palace in a sedan chair, especially Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in the guard of honor of the county magistrate, Mrs. Wang who had been deprived of her imperial order could only stay at home with her white daughter-in-law Li Wan. What's going on inside, no one knows.
After beating Jia Wan's ceremony, Mrs. Wang hoped that Jia Yuanchun would visit her relatives again, but Jia Zheng was a coward. Mrs. Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu came back from the palace. Only now did Mrs. Wang know that a very important concubine next to the Supreme Emperor is not well. The Supreme Emperor is forcing the Imperial Hospital to see this lady.
Mrs. Wang was extremely disappointed.
Jia Zhu is dead, Jia Baoyu is young, and looks like that again, although Mrs. Wang has a grandson Jia Lan, but Jia Lan is kept in the hands of her mother Li Wan, and Mrs. Wang is a grandmother, Jia Lan will be promising in the future However, Rong Xian is still the wives and children of Li Wan and Jia Lan, and has nothing to do with Mrs. Wang.
As for Aunt Zhao's two children, how could Mrs. Wang let them have a good future and make things difficult for her?
Therefore, Mrs. Wang is eagerly looking forward to Jia Yuanchun being able to visit her relatives again and give herself a face, which is logical.
Jia Yuanchun is not only the solid backing of Mrs. Wang, but also the glory of Mrs. Wang, and also the main source of Mrs. Wang's wealth at this stage. Why doesn't Mrs. Wang think about it?
Unfortunately, this year's Mrs. Wang can only be disappointed.
That is, this year, Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing to report on his work. Counting the time, Wang Ziteng left the capital after Jia Qi was five years old when he sued the imperial court. It has been five years since this year, shouldn't it be time to come back?Not to mention, Wang Ziteng also has a daughter, who is as old as Xue Baochai and Jia Yingchun. Wang Ziteng has only such a daughter and no son, so why not take it seriously?In previous years, even if there was a Jiji ceremony outside, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was reluctant to marry her daughter to outsiders.
As the old saying goes, if you don't go to the capital, you don't know the official school.
The real dignitaries are all in Beijing.
Therefore, not only on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue took Jia Baoyu and Yingchun Tanchun Xue Baochai back to the Wang family. Even Wang Xifeng went back to Mrs. Xing and went to Wang's house alone.
In this way, Xichun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, and Li Wen and Li Qi would be bored, and Mother Jia was a little tired these days, so she didn't want to hear these little girls chattering, so she sent them to find Lin Daiyu.
When Shi Xiangyun stepped into the flower hall where Lin Daiyu used to entertain guests, he immediately noticed the soft touch under his feet. Shi Xiangyun was taken aback, and looked around, only to see that all the furniture here were wrapped in thick brocade, and immediately felt sore Li: "Sister Lin is so angry here."
In fact, Shi Xiangyun really wanted to say that it was the same as the women's room in the building.However, she was frightened by Jia Qi, for fear that Jia Qi would punish her, so, the unpleasant words spun around her mouth, and finally swallowed them back.
Not to mention how uncomfortable Shi Xiangyun was.
Brother Ying, who was instructing the second-class maids to serve tea, heard about it, and said quickly, "Miss Yun laughed. Who made the third sister of the second grandma's family so active! That little master can crawl in eight months. I don't know where I crawled to if I made a wrong eye, and the two nurses and four girls in the district can't look at her at all. Now it is one and a half years old, not only can crawl, but occasionally stand up and walk around. Because I am afraid that she will hurt if she falls. That's why thick carpets are laid everywhere, and the furniture is covered with satin. Not only our girl's place is like this, but also in the wife's room, the second grandmother's room, and several girls' rooms. "
The third sister Parrot mentioned was Wang Xifeng's daughter.Jia Yue was born one month before her birthday, and is exactly one and a half years old this year.
Li Wen and Li Qi both quickly said: "That's not true, children are delicate, it's not good to touch them, you should be more cautious."
Xichun asked curiously, "The third sister will leave now?"
Xichun remembers very clearly that when she was four or five years old, she was still hugged by her nanny.
Brother Ying said: "On our second girl's birthday last year, our fourth master didn't know where to get the news, saying that children can only grow well if they climb a lot, so when we met our third sister in front of my wife, we I like to tease the third sister. That's why the third sister likes our fourth master very much, and even our second master is jealous. The wife and the second grandma are naturally happy to see that the third sister is delicious, fun, and loves to laugh and make trouble. Hold on to my sister. The second grandma has a lot of things to do, and during the day, when the second grandma is busy, the wife will hug the sister to her, and occasionally the girls will help take care of it. Therefore, there are such houses everywhere."
Xue Baoqin said with a smile: "It is rare to see such an active child, so it can be seen that he is a very healthy child."
Shi Xiangyun said: "This kid is not young, why doesn't he even have a famous name?"
Brother Ying smiled and said: "As for the girl, our master and the second master have been thinking about it for so long, but we still haven't chosen a good one. Later, we still asked the fourth master and our girl to decide for the third sister. I gave a big name, a single name with the word Mao, which means lush vegetation, and a nickname, Qiaojieer, which was just published this year. I’m just a girl, how can I call my little master’s name? , naturally we can only call according to the ranking."
Li Wen and Li Qi said in two consecutive voices: "That's right, it's exactly this ceremony."
Shi Xiangyun looked around for a while, and said, "Sister Lin is so ordinary here."
Lin Daiyu's dowry shocked the entire government and the public. In Shi Xiangyun's impression, Lin Daiyu's room should be resplendent and full of antiques, or it would be full of gold and jade playthings.But who would have thought that this flower hall for hospitality is exquisite, but there are no antiques. Although there are gold and jade ornaments, but not many, even the playthings placed on the antique racks are mostly new gadgets.
Xue Baoqin paused, did not speak, and continued to drink tea.
Li Wen and Li Qi also raised their heads, looked at them, and said, "If you want me to say, this place is elegant and exquisite, which is very good. After all, not everyone can use the emerald fruit plate and agate plate, and not everyone can use it. They used the official kilns of the Song Dynasty as ordinary objects."
Jia Baoyu took an antique fan and tore it for the girls around him to play with, put fruit on an agate plate and gave it to others, and the things in the house had to be replenished every now and then. Li Wen and Li Qi had noticed it a long time ago, but they were The guest is still Li Wan's cousin, so it's not easy to speak.
Shi Xiangyun said: "Who doesn't know that Sister Lin is a rich man. Others can't afford it, and it's not like she can't afford it."
Coincidentally, Lin Daiyu happened to change her clothes, and when she heard it at the door, she said, "Sister Yun, where are you getting angry? That's right, Sister Bao and Brother Bao have gone to Wang's house. Sister Yun is inevitably lonely, I don't know Am I right?"
Shi Xiangyun looked at the girls running behind Lin Daiyu, looked at the room, there were also two rows of girls waiting to be summoned at any time, then looked at himself, there was only Cuiwei beside him, not to mention young, not smart enough, and his heart became more and more angry .
"Sister Lin is such a big show!"
I don't want someone behind Lin Daiyu to laugh and say: "Sister Yun is wrong, it's not that there are many people around Sister Lin, it's because we are here too."
Only then did Shi Xiangyun see that behind Lin Daiyu were Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan, and Jia Han. The one who answered was naturally Jia Yue.
Because they were not in front of Jia Mu, these few did not wear the resplendent bird-gold furs, but the furs. Because the room was warm, they undressed, removed the cloaks and Zhaojun coats under the service of the girl, so they were in the house just now. No one saw it.
Shi Xiangyun looked at this, looked at that, and then looked at the fur that the girls took down, and suddenly said: "Seeing you, I suddenly thought of Sister Xing, but unfortunately, she does not have this blessing."
Shi Xiangyun is really the one who does not open the pot and which pot to lift.
When is it not good to mention Xing Xiuyan, it must be at this time.
Jia Wan was angry in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said, "It's no wonder that Sister Yun still misses her. I thought, until now, only the wife and we remember her. By the way, Sister Yun, I heard that the historian The two marquises have made up for the real shortage and left Beijing? Why did they leave you in Beijing..."
Shi Xiangyun interrupted her angrily: "They are just my uncles, if there is something wrong, why would they tell me?!"
Jia Wan originally wanted to say that the timing of Baoling Hou Shiding and Zhongjing Hou Shi Nai's departure from Beijing was not quite right, they actually left the capital at the end of November under the wind and snow, I am afraid that there is another reason for this.Seeing Shi Xiangyun's appearance, Jia Wan immediately stopped talking.
The historian has nothing to do with her, Shi Xiangyun, a girl from the historian, doesn't care anymore, so why should she bother?
For a moment, the room became awkward.
Only then did Xue Baoqin speak: "Sister Lin, the porcelain you put here is so special, I haven't seen many of them before. And that one, that one is Chai Qingtian?"
Chai Qingtian, that is the collective name of only 63 handed down works of Chai Kiln.These 63 works handed down from generation to generation all came from the firewood kiln handpicked by Chai Shizong in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Chai Shizong's reign was short, but his aesthetic standards were high. After many years of war, there are only 63 famous firewood kilns left.
It is said that there are only 27 pieces in the palace.
Lin Daiyu looked at Xue Baochai's finger and couldn't help laughing: "This is not Chai Qingtian, this is a fake."
"Fake?"
"Yes," Lin Daiyu said, "Actually, Brother Qi doesn't have anything to ask him to do in the palace. Therefore, except for Long Live's summons, he mostly follows Yi Wang, who also manages Xuanhui Mansion. The clothes worn by Wansui and the pens and ink used are all under the command of Prince Yi. When burning other utensils, Xuanhui Mansion will occasionally burn some other things. This is from Xuanhui Mansion, and it is said that Xuanhui Mansion It is one of the batch of porcelain that most resembles Chai Qingtian."
The color is like the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime.
This is the most obvious feature of Chai kiln porcelain. Although this lily vase was made by a famous craftsman in Xuanhui Prefecture, the azure color is not clear enough. It is as bright as a mirror and as thin as paper, but the sound is a little bit worse.It is said that the one given to Dongying by the previous dynasty would make a sound of "Kang-Kang--" when wine was poured into it and then poured out, but the sound of this one was much worse.
Lin Daiyu carefully introduced the difference between the bottle and the records, and asked the girl to take it down and show it to everyone. Only then did everyone understand that Jia Qi got the bottle from Xuanhui Mansion for Lin Daiyu to play with.
Only then did Shi Xiangyun put on a disdainful look, and said, "It turns out it's a fake. Sister Lin is also real. You keep all the good things, are you reluctant to take them out?"
Before Lin Daiyu could open her mouth, she heard Jia Xuan say: "Aunt Yun, what does Aunt Yun mean, like in Uncle Bao's house, are you using either emerald fruit plates or agate plates? Or are they not antiques?"
Jia Han also said: "That's right, I've also heard that the girls in Yihong Courtyard are so weird, how strong is the jadeite? They can report damage, and the silk-wrapped agate plate, I heard it broke every now and then. It’s cracked. Let me tell you, the girls in Yihong Courtyard are too careless. Is it because they don’t know how to cherish things, or is there another reason..."
"That's not true. How much is the salary of the second master in a year, and how much money did they get when they separated? It's such a waste now, and it will be spread in the future. I don't know how big an accident it will be..."
With that said, both Jia Xuan and Jia Han shook their heads.
When the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng separated their families and clans, they were supervised by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, so when the families were separated, the properties of the two families were cleared, and Mrs. Wang's dowry and private house were also taken away. It has been copied, so the property of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang at that time was definitely not much.
And the only source of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's property can only be when Jia Yuanchun was canonized, those merchants and small landlords brought their properties to invest.
Mrs. Wang must keep these money and property in her own pocket, and will not take them out and throw them into the Grand View Garden project.The only one who can make Mrs. Wang take out money is only one and a half, that one is Jia Baoyu, and the other half is Jia Zheng.
And with Mrs. Wang's ruthlessness, after collecting the money from those small landlords, she took their daughters to be maids in the Grand View Garden, and then killed these people bit by bit, so as to completely control the money and land, such a thing , Mrs. Wang can definitely do it.
After all, these people who have taken refuge in Mrs. Wang are already Mrs. Wang's servants in name. If Mrs. Wang wants to clean up her own servants, as long as no one makes him a big deal, it will be profitable and reasonable for Mrs. Wang.
Thinking of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's financial situation, and Jia Baoyu's appearance of not being distressed when she ruined it, Jia Xuan and Jia Han feel disgusted every time they think of it.
Where and what kind of property did Jia Baoyu waste, it was clearly human lives!
The girls in Jia Baoyu's house were greedy for valuable jade and agate artifacts, they were clearly corpses!
Shi Xiangyun couldn't see Jia Xuan and Jia Han speaking ill of Jia Baoyu. Naturally, he couldn't speak ill of Mrs. Wang, but Xichun had already said: "Sister Lin, are all the things here new?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Yes, except for a few items that Brother Qi got in the palace, the rest were all made by me and Brother Qi in the workshop below."
Shi Xiangyun immediately understood, and immediately said: "Last year was very cold, there were snowstorms everywhere, and there were refugees everywhere. The old lady is still planning to give out porridge. Sister Lin is so extravagant, I'm afraid it's not good?"
Jia Yue immediately said: "Sister Yun is wrong. It's our family giving porridge and rice, but how many people can be saved? Those disaster victims have not stopped after this meal, isn't it the same trouble? Besides, this The winter is very cold, there have been several heavy snowfalls, and even some people in the capital collapsed their houses under the pressure of the snow. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, I am afraid that the spring flood will be fierce. So, sister Lin has already ordered to go down, and the village has already The house is ready, and the workshops are trying their best to recruit people, just to stabilize the hearts of the people. If we are frugal at this time, the workshops below will lay off workers together, so that those who could find jobs in the workshops to support their families will also become successful. If you are a refugee, that would be bad."
Lin Daiyu also said: "Sister Yun has people in her heart, so it's great. Please rest assured, sister Yun, the court is already preparing food."
The rich and powerful's family helped the common people, but they were afraid that they would be labeled as buying people's hearts.Therefore, even if the rich and powerful families have money and food, they can only give out a little when they encounter a catastrophe. For so many common people, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
However, the imperial court has no surplus food, and in times of famine, the rich and powerful families have food but cannot provide too much food, and the imperial court wants to provide relief to the victims but has no food, and there are corrupt officials obstructing it, it is no wonder that the world is not chaotic!
In contrast, using Zhuangzi workshops to take in refugees is a good way to relieve stress.Furthermore, if these refugees are really willing to stay, there will be many more young and strong people on Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi's self-defense ability will also be greatly improved.And Zhuangzi's self-defense ability is greatly improved, it will attract more people, and naturally, there will be more output.
It is an affirmation to everyone in Zhuangzi to choose the best of these outputs and give them to Lin Daiyu, and to give appropriate rewards to relevant personnel.
And Lin Daiyu's use of these things is also an affirmation of this Zhuangzi and this workshop.
The middle and lower classes of society always think about how to save money and add another property to the family.Marriage of children is an unbearable burden for these families.
What the top class of society really needs to think about is how to feed more people with less land and ensure the happiness and life satisfaction of these people, so as to eliminate a series of adverse consequences brought about by land mergers. Intangible, all kinds of disasters that may be caused by the displacement of the people, such as military disasters, are eliminated invisible.
This is the difference between Jia Qi and everyone in the Jia family.
This is also the real reason why Jia Qi only identified Lin Daiyu.Because only Lin Daiyu would understand him and would fully cooperate with him.As for the rest of the women in the original book, it is good enough not to make trouble for him.
Of course, Jia Qi is also very fortunate, that is, he chose to sue the imperial court early, so Jia Amnesty did not lose much money in his hands.Similarly, because Lin Daiyu's property did not suffer too much loss, and Lin Daiyu was willing to cooperate with him, so even if he didn't have to take part in the palace examination, he could still take a roundabout way to achieve his goal.
Few of the other women could understand Jia Qi, let alone fully cooperate.I believe that most women in this world will only hold the dowry and power tightly in their hands, instead of cooperating with Jia Qi like Lin Daiyu.
Shi Xiangyun is also one of the people who can't understand this. Even if she was born well, the historians have provided her with a good education, but she herself is a girl's brain and a girl's vision. She doesn't even have the qualities of a lady, but Lin Daiyu's vision She has surpassed the range of a lady and reached the level of a top official. Lin Daiyu can tolerate Shi Xiangyun's rudeness, but Shi Xiangyun only feels that she is suppressed by Lin Daiyu, but she doesn't know how she is inferior to Lin Daiyu.
Shi Xiangyun became more and more frustrated, and sat down to the side angrily.
On the other side, Xichun has already been attracted by a disc.
It was a small shallow plate with delicate and pure texture, and there was a delicate pastel painting on the bottom of the plate. A skinny old plum with pink and tender flowers on its top, its horned dragon-like roots firmly grasped the roots below. A stone, a bamboo branch with a slanted root, and a clump of dwarf roses on the other side.
Golden roses, green leaves, black stones, dark brown old plum trees, bamboo branches that seem to have dewdrops, pink plum blossoms that look like flowers and snow, and large pieces of white space, although there is no poetry But this painting is an excellent poem, which is pleasing to the eye.
Xichun is learning painting right now, what doesn't she like?
Lin Daiyu had to have someone take it down for Xichun to enjoy.
Xue Baoqin had some insight, so she saw it at a glance: "Carmine? Is this made by the palace supervisor?"
"Carmine?"
Li Wen and Li Qi looked at each other with astonishment on their faces.
They also know.
Shi Xiangyun blurted out: "What is Carmine?"
Xue Baoqin quickly said: "I heard that too. It is said that Wansui today likes to play with these things very much. Whether it is making small clothes for his pet dog Fufu, or utensils for his daily use, he is very particular about them. Among them, Jincai and Carmine are It is the logo of the famille rose porcelain of the Wansui official kiln."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "What kind of logo is just that gold powder is used in official kilns, but how can ordinary folk kilns be willing? Although Wansui is strict, he only stipulates a few types of utensils and inscriptions on these things. The rest, including these Carmine and gold color, there is no limit to Long Live."
In the past, no folk kiln was willing to spend such a large capital.However, Jia Qi has always been as long as the law allows, he will do it, so he doesn't care whether the capital is more or less.Anyway, he is not short of money to spend.
Lin Daiyu had heard that Jia Qi made the emperor impatient, and finally threw down a handbook, saying that even if Jia Qi's own workshop produced gold and carmine, as long as the shape and style of the utensils were not among the taboos , then he will never pursue it, and neither will the future emperor.
With the emperor's guarantee, the Lin family's porcelain kilns began to produce gold powder and carmine, but there are really so many capable people in the Lin family's workshop, and they actually produced things that are not inferior to the official kilns.
The one Xichun is playing with now is the first batch sent by the Lin family, and it's still painted by Lin Daiyu.
Xichun said: "It turned out to be a gift from Sister Lin's workshop."
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "It's not the only one. Brother Qi even got a copy of "The Picture of the Qingming River" from the painter Lang last time, and he has asked someone to make it. The fourth younger sister likes it. If the fourth younger sister likes it, I will tell the following to burn it more. Make a set."
How could Xichun not like it.
"The Picture on the Qingming River" is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, it was brought into the palace very early, and it is not easy for ordinary people to see it. Since Xichun is a person who loves painting, he naturally thought about it many times in his dreams.It's just that with her identity and the ability of General Wei Lie's mansion, it is impossible for her to see him.
Although there are many copies of "The Picture on the Qingming River" in this world, the painter Ke Lang is the royal painter of the current emperor, so he naturally has a unique skill.
To be able to obtain a copy from Master Lang and burn it into a porcelain painting, the energy required for this reason is by no means trivial.
Furthermore, porcelain painting is a famous product of the capital, but very few of them are really well done.Like Lin Daiyu, she has a porcelain kiln in her hand, and she can burn as much as she likes, and smash it if she is not satisfied, until she makes the best one.The cost alone is not much lower than that of official kilns.
The official kiln is such a rule that unqualified porcelain can only be smashed, so all the products that come out are good things.After all, folk kilns have to survive, and there are really few who are willing to smash good things. Therefore, the things of folk kilns have always been mixed.
However, on the official kiln side, no status is out of reach. Even if you have status, you may not have such great power.The Lin family's porcelain kiln is willing to spend money, so those who like this, or want to marry their daughters with some golden and carmine porcelain with long faces, are willing to place an order with the Lin family's porcelain kiln.
Although there are only a few items on the surface of the Lin family porcelain kiln, the Lin family porcelain kiln accepts customization.As long as it looks good, I will keep it for you and make it for you, and the manuscript sent by someone will be sent back later. Therefore, some exquisite people like to order it from the Lin family porcelain kiln.First, you can get good things, and second, your own handwriting, especially the handwriting of your own girls, will not fall outside.
Even though it was still January, the order for Lin's porcelain kiln had already been scheduled for the second half of the year.Unless it was Lin Daiyu and Jia Qi, the others could only wait if they wanted something.
"Sister Lin is so generous."
Shi Xiangyun was very jealous.
She already knew that there was probably no other woman in this world who could have such a generous dowry as Lin Daiyu.
But who knows, Lin Daiyu actually replied like this: "It's just that Zhuangzi has taken in too many people, so it produces more and the things are made more exquisitely. It's nothing."
Lin Daiyu didn't even tell Shi Xiangyun that she had three porcelain workshops in her hands, and they exchanged what they had and competed with each other, and only the best things could be delivered to her.
It just so happened that at this time, sister Qiao, accompanied by the nanny and the maids, rushed in with her short legs, shouting "Auntie and Auntie".Qiaojie is still young, the outside floor is covered with a hard floor, while the floor inside the house is covered with carpet, which is soft, Qiaojie still can't adapt well, so she sat on her butt all of a sudden.
The girls in the room all exclaimed, even Xichun threw away the porcelain painting plate she couldn't put it down, and turned to look at Qiaojie, Shi Xiangyun even stood up, ready to help Qiaojie up.
Lin Daiyu held her down.
Shi Xiangyun was surprised and angry: "Sister Lin!" You are such a person!
Lin Daiyu didn't look at Shi Xiangyun at all, but looked at Qiaojie, but she didn't forget to tell all the girls present who were stopped by the maids: "It's okay, Qiaojie will stand up by herself."
Sure enough, Sister Qiao didn't cry, but just widened her eyes, as if she was surprised that she would fall down, then adjusted her posture, and really stood up by herself.
This time, sister Qiao walked more carefully, not as fast as before.
Seeing Sister Qiao walking steadily, Lin Daiyu, Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan and Jia Han all applauded: "Brother Qiao is so amazing."
Sister Qiao showed a bright smile, and threw herself into Lin Daiyu's arms, and then put a wet kiss on Lin Daiyu's face, then turned her face, and yelled at Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan and Jia Han: "Eldest aunt, second aunt, eldest sister, second sister."
"Hey~"
Jia Yue, Jia Wan, Jia Xuan, and Jia Han agreed, and Jia Wan, who was able to sit in, took Qiao Jie's little hand and shook it twice, in exchange for Qiao Jie's brighter smile.
When her eyes turned to Xichun and the others, Qiaojie couldn't help touching her head with a confused expression.
Lin Daiyu had to introduce her one by one.
Qiao Jie obediently called her aunt five times, then threw herself into Lin Daiyu's arms, pointing the back of her head at the guest.
She is shy.
With Qiaojie as a cute little girl, time flies very fast. When Qiaojie was tired and wanted to sleep, and the sky was getting dark, Xichun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin, Li Wen, and Li Qi all stood up, ready to say goodbye.
Generally speaking, Xichun was very satisfied with today's visit. Lin Daiyu not only gave her the plate, but also promised to give her a set of porcelain paintings of "A Picture on the Qingming River".
Xue Baoqin, Li Wen and Li Qi were also very satisfied, because like Xichun and Shi Xiangyun, they all got a tea set and a tea pet.
Lin Daiyu also asked Shi Xiangyun to bring each of Yingchun Tanchun and Xue Baochai a set. Yingchun is ice-cracked celadon, Tanchun is ice-cracked white porcelain, and Xue Baochai is fine white porcelain.
Shi Xiangyun felt very boring on Lin Daiyu's side, and Mrs. Wang was also full of anger when she came back from her natal family.
Wang Xiluan, Wang Ziteng's daughter, is one year younger than Xue Baochai and two years older than Jia Baoyu. Her father is Wang Ziteng. Things have cooled down in other people's hearts. Now that Jia Yuanchun has become an imperial concubine, Wang Ziteng naturally found a way to be dispatched back to Beijing.
When Mrs. Wang heard the news that Wang Ziteng was about to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, her heart became active.
Wang Xiluan, Wang Ziteng's daughter-in-law, is not engaged either. Wouldn't it be better if he could marry Jia Baoyu?
Mrs. Wang is quite confident in the ability of her own brother Wang Ziteng.Furthermore, if Jia Baoyu and Wang Xiluan were engaged, could Wang Ziteng still ignore Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng?
Looking at the beautiful niece, Mrs. Wang was moved.
Mrs. Wang immediately showed a little meaning to her brother and sister-in-law.
Mrs. Wang thought that since her daughter was already an imperial concubine, it was probably because of Jia Yuanchun's relationship that Wang Ziteng was able to return to Beijing. Therefore, for the benefit of the two families and to strengthen the relationship between the two families, it was also the same for Jia Baoyu to marry Wang Xiluan. A wonderful marriage.
But Mrs. Wang never expected that Wang Ziteng not only did not agree, but even asked Mrs. Wang directly: "Have you forgotten the agreement between you and your sister?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned.
Mrs. Wang Ziteng also laughed and said, "That's not it. It's been a few years since the good fortune has been passed on? We've long wanted to have the wedding wine between Baoyao and Baoyu, but Baoyu is still young, so we have to. Sister, Baoyu and Baoyu To hold a wedding, sister, don't forget us."
The relationship between Mrs. Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang is not very good, just like Mrs. Wang can hate Jia Min all her life for a little thing, Mrs. Wang Ziteng looks down on this greedy, cold, selfish and ruthless sister-in-law.Mrs. Wang has no tolerance for Jia Min, the husband's only sister, so how can she get along with her sister-in-law peacefully?
The relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Min is not good. Mrs. Wang herself is [-]% responsible. After saying that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Ziteng have a bad relationship with sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang still has to bear at least [-]% of the responsibility.
In the past, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was tolerant to Mrs. Wang for Wang Ziteng's sake. Now that she seized the opportunity, Mrs. Wang Ziteng would sue Mrs. Wang in front of Wang Ziteng: "Speaking of it, let's go to Beijing It’s too late. I heard that gold-colored carmine pink porcelain is popular in Beijing this year? It’s a pity that our master’s grade is not enough for Xuanhui Mansion to even out. Although the Lin’s porcelain kiln also has it, the workmanship is also excellent, but it’s a pity. The price is too high, and it will take a long time. You have to wait a year to get it. By the way, although my brother-in-law's family has separated, County Master Lin is still my brother-in-law's niece. I wonder if my sister can help with the matter? I heard that County Lord Lin’s dowry is 400 million? Oh, who in this world has so much dowry! Even if it’s only one-tenth of it, it’s amazing! After all, the prince’s family expenses are only that little. The Grand View Garden also gave away 40 taels of property, right? We, Xiluan, can have so much dowry, I would wake up laughing from my dreams."
Wang Ziteng's face became more and more gloomy following his wife's words, and in the end, it was almost dripping water.
These two younger sisters, one stupid and the other ruthless, raised two sons, one was so ignorant that he didn't even know how to kill someone, and the other was so naive that he didn't know that he could live for a few days.
How could Wang Ziteng be willing to marry his daughter to Jia Baoyu?
When Mrs. Wang needed money from the Xue family, she held Xue Baochai up to the sky, and when she didn't need money, she set her sights on herself.
Now that she thinks that she can pave the way for Jia Baoyu, she asks to marry her daughter, and the career is ups and downs. In the future, if she has a chance, will she kill her daughter to marry her son?
It's not that Wang Ziteng has no brotherhood, it's that Mrs. Wang is too cruel and her heart is too dark.
What's more, the consideration of marriage has never been about increasing relatives, but the power of the two families. His prince Teng has no son, but his prince Teng has his own ability, but what about Jia Zheng? Over 20 years of experience in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.Even his nephew climbed on top of his head!Jia Baoyu is like that again, he is still a big auspicious person who was born with jade in his mouth!
It's no wonder Wang Ziteng would want such an in-law!
