Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]
Chapter 40
This month, the Jia family held two happy events in succession, one was Lin Daiyu's entrance, and the other was Jia Han's marriage.
Jia Han is the same age as Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and others, and they are both 17 years old this year. However, the girls in Jia She's family got engaged late, and they only got engaged after they were 15 years old and after the ceremony. Jia Han was also the same age as her sister Jia Xuan, so, Mrs. Jia Shexing made an engagement for Jia Xuan first, then married Jia Xuan the next year, and then made an engagement for Jia Han.
In someone else's house, the girls are all 16 or [-] years old, and they are almost old girls, but who made Jia Qi come out of Jia She's family?So what if Jia Han is [-] and still not engaged?There's nothing wrong with the girl, it's just that she has an older sister, so she's two years behind.Furthermore, with an uncle like Jia Qi, are you afraid that the Jia family will not support him in the future?
On the day when the dowry was posted, Jia Han's mother-in-law even smiled crookedly when she saw Jia Han's 10,000+ dowry and the emerald grape bonsai.
To be able to marry such a daughter-in-law, isn't their family convinced?
The Jia family went to celebrate the wedding honestly, regardless of the fact that the court had been bombed, and even the harem was in turmoil.
Shipbuilding Department of Songjiangkou City, with an annual income of 2000 million!
This news spread throughout the ruling and opposition parties. Anyone who has the qualifications, and anyone who is not qualified to be a prime minister at the moment, roars in their hearts:
I want!
I want to become the chief executive of Songjiangkou Shipbuilding Department!
In stark contrast to the gods from all over the world showing their magical powers, the newlywed Jia Qi didn't even leave the house, and went to enjoy his newly married life.
On the issue of work, Jia Amnesty would never interfere with his sons' affairs, and Mrs. Xing would not dictate Jia Qi's affairs, let alone Jia Lian and Jia Cong brothers.The three brothers and the three mothers, although taking care of each other in the officialdom, they have a very good sense of proportion in private.
Jia Amnesty's side is very harmonious, but some people just don't wink.
No, when Jia Qi went to greet Jia Mu according to the etiquette, he happened to meet Li Wanshi Xiangyun's sister-in-law who also came early in the morning to give Jia Mu morning and evening peace.
Shi Xiangyun had long seen Lin Daiyu's red tapestry with lotus twigs all over the place, and the red pomegranate skirt, and seeing Jia Qi coming with Lin Daiyu, he immediately smiled and said: "After waiting for so many years, it can be regarded as I have had Sister Lin's wedding wine. I don't know when you can treat us to soup cakes?"
In the old days, children would invite relatives, friends, and neighbors to eat soup cakes for a hundred days, so the hundred-day banquet is also called soup cake meeting.
When Lin Daiyu heard about it, she blushed a long time ago.
Seeing this, Jia Qi smiled and said, "Sister Yun would say that. Could it be that there is good news?"
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Where is it so fast?" After a pause, he said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Brother Qi has grown up. The days go by so fast. I always feel that Brother Qi is still a little bit older." The older child couldn't reach the ground when he sat beside Sister Lin, so he came to greet the old lady and asked her to carry him to the chair."
Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "That's not true. He had a weird temper back then, and he didn't like to be touched by grandma when he was young. Now in a blink of an eye, he is already an adult."
Li Wan said: "This is a congratulations to my wife. I married a daughter-in-law this year, and I will have a grandson next year."
Only then did Madam Xing and the others realize that the focus of the sister-in-law was still on their grandson.
Zhang Shuya's complexion immediately turned ugly.Who let her enter the door for three years, and her stomach hasn't moved at all?
Although Mrs. Xing never urged her, Zhang Shuya was also worried.
As for Lin Daiyu, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.
There is no way, who made it difficult for the famous descendants of the Lin family. The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and Lin Ruhai did not have her and her younger brother until she was in her 40s. Unfortunately, her younger brother died when she was three years old.If she inherits the physique of the Lin family and has no children for a long time, then...
Although Jia Qi has a deep affection for her, in this world, it is a woman's nature to bear children for her husband. If she can't bear a son, even if Jia Qi is like her father, she will not blame her wife, but Lin Daiyu It is also very likely that like Jia Min back then, he cannot forgive himself.
Mrs. Xing didn't seem to notice Zhang Shuya and Lin Daiyu's discomfort, she smiled and said: "Grandson? I already have one." As she spoke, she smiled at Wang Xifeng.
But no, on the eighth day of March last year, Wang Xifeng gave birth to a fat boy, which happened to be one day earlier than Jia Lian's birthday. When the child was born that day, Jia Amnesty ordered people to set off firecrackers for three days.
Although the child was delicate, and the later washing three and the full moon were not held, the Hundred Days Banquet was extremely lively.
Shi Xiangyun said: "My wife is really merciful." He smiled and gave Wang Xifeng a look.
Although Shi Xiangyun is still bright and generous, and there is nothing wrong with his expression, even if someone who is not aware of it can't tell that there is something wrong here, but who here doesn't know who?
Even Zhang Shuya knew that Shi Xiangyun was not easy to get along with.
Besides, compassion is not a good word in Jia's house.
In Jia's family, speaking of merciful people, there is only one Mrs. Wang in Mrs. Xing's generation.
At the beginning, Mrs. Wang was known as a compassionate person in Jia's family, but Mrs. Xing only had four words: mean and widowed.To put it bluntly, now that Yingchun has been married, when others talk about Yingchun, they will say that Mrs. Xing is not virtuous, treats her stepdaughter badly, and forces her husband to adopt her stepdaughter, but treats Yingchun to her parents and brothers. The sister-in-law basically ignored it, and only cared about Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's affairs without mentioning a word.
Now that Shi Xiangyun said in public, "My wife is really merciful", is he praising Mrs. Xing or scolding Mrs. Xing, or is he simply trying to remind people of Mrs. Wang who was exiled?
Before Mrs. Xing could open her mouth, Mother Jia had already dressed inside, she came out holding Yuanyang's hand, and seeing the awkward atmosphere outside, she laughed and said, "What were you talking about just now? I heard you chattering inside just now. "
Jia Qi said: "Old lady, just now sister Caiyun said 'Madam is really compassionate', which reminded me of my aunt over there. When my aunt was here, wasn't she one of the most merciful people in the two families? It was a big mistake, and Sister Yun is smart and well-behaved, so how could she mention auntie? I wondered if Brother Bao missed his mother, so I asked Sister Yun to come to the old lady to ring the wooden clock."
When Jia's mother heard about it, she sighed and said, "Baoyu's child is kind-hearted. It's a pity that he is still like a child at such a big age! Don't say anything else, let's talk about his room, just from him How many accidents have happened since we moved into the garden? Just like that Xiren, didn’t we rely on him to do things wrong? As for the second daughter-in-law, I also know that she is Baoyu’s mother. Others can tell her wrong, but Baoyu can’t Well, if Baoyu detested his mother like everyone else, I wouldn't love him so much! It's a pity that his whole life is destined to be dragged down by his mother."
Then, Mother Jia said to Mrs. Xing: "Eldest daughter-in-law, although the two families have separated, Baoyu is the elder's nephew after all. I am also old, and I can't take care of him for a few years. After a hundred years, I will I'm afraid Baoyu will ask you to take care of me."
After being called by Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing stood up quickly, and Jia Qi, Wang Xifeng, Zhang Shuya, and Lin Daiyu below also stood up.
Since it was Mother Jia's request, no matter how reluctant Mrs. Xing was, Mrs. Xing still had to agree.
Jia Qi also said: "Old lady, other people are fine, my father crawled out of your stomach, you still don't know him? Although my father and the aunt over there are at odds, he has never angered Big Brother Zhu down there. , Brother Bao and a group of sisters. Furthermore, now that Brother Bao is at home every day and has gone out to mess around, what trouble can he cause? If Brother Bao doesn’t cause trouble, my father will never watch others come to the house bullying Second Brother Bao."
Listening to Jia Qi's words and seeing Jia Qi's expression, Jia's mother knew what Jia Qi meant: as long as Jia Baoyu didn't get into trouble, Jia Amnesty would definitely not watch Jia Baoyu being bullied. As Jia Amnesty's son, Jia Qi was also willing. Help a little within a certain range.
Jia Amnesty is just an empty-headed lord, how can it compare to Jia Qi's high status and bright future?As long as Jia Qi is not angry with Jia Baoyu, and as long as Jia Qi is willing to take care of Jia Baoyu, Mother Jia will be satisfied.
Jia's mother said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, if you are like this, I can rest assured. Now I only hope that your husband and wife will be happy and have many children and grandchildren."
Jia Qi laughed and said, "Borrowing the old lady's good words, sister Lin and I will be fine."
Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction.
Shi Xiangyun is the same age as Lin Daiyu, only a few months younger than Lin Daiyu, but the fate of the two is very different. Therefore, her jealousy of Lin Daiyu has never been a secret.
However, when it is time to know the current affairs, Shi Xiangyun knows the current affairs better than anyone else.Although she was jealous of Lin Daiyu, Mother Jia helped her get Jia Qi's guarantee, would she stab Lin Daiyu in front of Mother Jia and Jia Qi?
Of course she sat obediently.
Shi Xiangyun achieved his goal, but Li Wan felt uncomfortable.
Shi Xiangyun was concerned about Jia Baoyu's future, and Li Wan was equally worried about Jia Lan's.But she waited for a long time, but she couldn't see Jia Mu speaking for her, so she couldn't help feeling anxious.Li Wan is a good mother. She didn't even bother to slander Jia Mu for not saying a word about Jia Lan, so she asked Jia Qi in public: "Brother Qi, you are a fourth-rank official now. I think you have a lot of staff around here." .”
Jia Qi took a deep look at her, then slightly narrowed the peach blossom eyes inherited from Jia She, and said: "Yes, sister-in-law Zhu, there are quite a few people around me. If nothing else, I have to start from nothing." Yes, let a city that can accommodate 20 people suddenly appear, how can it be done without manpower? Fortunately, when my father-in-law was around, there were a few useful people around me. After receiving my letter, those old gentlemen traveled thousands of miles The land came to help me, and my father also borrowed several people for me. Otherwise, I would not be able to do it alone."
Li Wan said: "I heard that how many of them have obtained official positions now?"
Jia Qi paused for a moment, then took a sip of tea, and said, "Yes, as the highest official of the Shibo Department, I already have a set of subordinate government agencies. Those gentlemen have helped me do it for the past few years. It’s enough to get a real vacancy. Besides, they are recruiters, I just wrote a letter of recommendation. The real decision to use them is still the official department.”
Li Wan asked this question only for the sake of Jia Lan's future.If Jia Lan is Jia Lian, with a clean identity, although he is a bit of a dandy, he still has a conscience, and Jia Qi really doesn't mind helping him, just like when he separated from before, Jia She said that the 90-acre river beach If the land is to be counted among the separated fields, Jia Lian still has to take the bulk of the land, so it's as if Jia Qi agreed without saying a word.Because he knew that for a person like Jia Lian, Jia Lian would remember that when others treated him well, it was Wang Xifeng who took the money and could exchange some smiling faces.
But what about Li Wan and Jia Lan?
Jia Qi can say bluntly that when a meat bun hits a dog, the dog even knows how to wag its tail!If Li Wan and Jia Lan are replaced, if the position to be filled in the future is not close, or if something happens to Jia Lan, wouldn't Li Wan hate Jia Qi to death?
Jia Qi didn't want to ask for trouble yet.
Furthermore, what Li Wan and Shi Xiangyun seek are different. What Shi Xiangyun seeks is a safe home and not to be harassed by Xiaoxiao, but what Li Wan seeks is Jia Lan's bright future.After being a sinner, do you still want Jia Qi to stand up to the law and make Jia Lan rise to the top?
Jia Qi simply refused on the grounds that everyone else was Juren, but Jia Lan didn't.
"I forced it."
Li Wan said so, but he might not be convinced in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuya also smiled and said: "Speaking of it, this is the difference between today's Wansui and the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor is willing to give respect to the veterans, so when the Supreme Emperor was in power, the children of noble families never passed the exam. In the imperial examination, as long as you vote for the Supreme Emperor's favor, or if your family has a pleading paper, the Supreme Emperor does not mind giving an official position. But today's Wansui is different. In this regard, Today's Wansui is the most stubborn. No matter what your background is, as long as you don't Those who have entered the examination room, if they say they don’t need it, they don’t need it. Even if they haven’t entered the Jinshi Department, they can also pass the Ming Suan Ke Ming Economics Department. However, those who have not participated in the imperial examination are not allowed. When I went back to my mother’s house last time, My father said that two years ago, for the sake of the Supreme Emperor, Wansui could accommodate those courtiers who had not taken the imperial examination. In the past two years, Wansui has not had such a good temper. Otherwise, based on two With my brother's abilities and achievements, I'm afraid he has been promoted long ago, so why would he stay in the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Industry?"
Li Wan was stunned.
Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were full of surprise: "My in-laws really said that?"
Zhang Shuya said: "Yes. In fact, Wansui has said in public more than once that governing a country depends on officials. If any cat or dog can be an official, then the world will not be far from chaos. Juren is the minimum standard for Wansui to select officials. "
Li Wan's heart was on fire, and he said: "It's a pity, Brother Qi, if he had passed the palace examination in an upright manner, he wouldn't be sitting here today, would he?"
The house suddenly fell silent.
Jia Qi said: "No matter what, I was also Qiu Wei Yayuan of Beigong Academy in that year, and I was also the youngest Juren in history. Unless someone can surpass this record, I will always be the one who will leave a name in history."
Shi Xiangyun laughed and said, "What's more, you bought 90 mu of river beach land, supported 500 million refugees, and built the Songjiangkou City Shipping Department, with an annual income of 2000 million. That's not enough for you to be famous in history? Let me tell you, Brother Qi Son, let the people outside run and break their legs, as long as you stay at home without moving like a mountain, when Long Live wants to use you, he will still use you."
Jia Qi laughed and said, "Sister Yun is really insightful! It should be clear."
"Hahahaha, good, good, good," Mother Jia said with a smile, "I was worried at first, but now I'm relieved after hearing what Yun girl said."
Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Old lady, I didn't say this. I don't have such a good insight. This is what Baoyu said, but I have been unconvinced. Now that I have met Brother Qi, I know. Baoyu, I'm still far behind."
Hearing that it was Jia Baoyu who said it, Mother Jia sighed again: "It's a pity for Baoyu after all." She said to Jia Qi, "Brother Qi, last time, you honored me with a set of silk curtains. I remember that Baoyu likes this the most, and I want to send it to Baoyu."
Jia Qi said: "Since it is already the old lady's property, the old lady is in charge."
Shi Xiangyun asked curiously, "What curtain? So expensive?"
Zhang Shuya said: "A silk curtain? But the kind that the fourth brother and fourth younger siblings hang in the house now?"
Shi Xiangyun was surprised and said, "Sister-in-law three knows?"
Zhang Shuya said: "Yes, although there are regulations on the new house, the flower hall used by the fourth sibling to entertain guests is not a problem. I remember this is the filial piety of the workshop of the fourth sibling's home, right? The curtain is just a ten-foot banner , it is the pattern of dark lines on silk tapestry. If you are not careful, you may think it is just an ordinary brocade, but if there is a wind blowing or the light changes, there will be trees, falling petals, and other things on the curtain. The swaying strong grass is looming, and being in it is like walking in that painting."
When decorating the new house, Zhang Shuya went to help, so she knew it.The set of spring outing pictures hanging in Lin Daiyu's house is themed on the Su Causeway of West Lake. Being in the flower hall is like walking on the Su Causeway in spring.
To be honest, even Zhang Shuya couldn't help being jealous of Lin Daiyu when she saw the picture of Su Causeway Outing in Spring.
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It's not this one. There are twelve such curtains in one set. Weavers who know how to cut silk are hard to find these days, and weavers who can make the scenery come alive are even more rare. I heard that, In order to reappear those scenes, Qi Geer specially made the weaver Zhiniang below live near those famous places for a whole year to get two sets."
One set was naturally used by Lin Daiyu to decorate the new house, and the other set was naturally the set of honoring Jia Mu.
It's fine if Lin Daiyu doesn't open her mouth, but once Lin Daiyu opened her mouth, Shi Xiangyun couldn't suppress her jealousy, and blurted out: "I heard that only the women in that building decorate their houses with brocade."
The room suddenly became quiet, and even Mrs. Xing's expression changed.
Jia Qi immediately said: "Sister Yun doesn't understand. Huaxia Huaxia, the beauty of the clothes and the great etiquette, overseas barbarians don't pay attention to this, we really pay attention to what kind of utensils and clothes people wear , These are all strictly regulated. What kind of place is the Qinlou Chu Pavilion that Sister Yun mentioned? It turns out that it is the place where the third-rate people please the nobles, but how can they have the qualifications to use official satin? Silk. The only thing they can use is various kinds of miscellaneous silk, and they must be careful not to make taboos. Besides, if they want to please the nobles, they must try their best to make them feel at home. It is because they tried their best to imitate us. How did these wealthy families get into my sister's mouth, but they can decorate their houses with silk and satin, but we can't? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? "
Shi Xiangyun said in a daze: "Brother Qi is quite clear about it. I think he has been to those places a lot, right?"
Jia Qi said: "The more prosperous a place is, the less Qinlou Chu Pavilion is impossible. If the government doesn't care about it, God knows what will happen in these places! Since I can transform Songjiangkou from a small, less than A fishing village with 200 people has become a big city with a population of 60. How can you not know about this? By the way, Sister Yun is a lady, how can she know about those places? Brother Bao must have told Sister Yun .Second Brother Bao is really serious, doesn’t he even know that Sister Yun is his wife? If he tells his wife this, doesn’t he know that Sister Yun will be sad?”
When Shi Xiangyun's words and deeds against Lin Daiyu were turned around by Jia Qi, it became evidence that Jia Baoyu was sorry for Shi Xiangyun and made Shi Xiangyun so unhappy that he lost his composure in front of Jia's mother.
Mother Jia originally wanted to attack Shi Xiangyun, but when she saw this, she quickly hugged Shi Xiangyun in her arms and said, "Girl Yun, I know you have been wronged. But you have to think about it, Baoyu is suffering too. He is getting older, too. He doesn't have a serious business, and he has such a mother... Aside from making those rouge powders at home, isn't that the only place he can go? Can you be more considerate of him?"
When Shi Xiangyun heard about it, he burst into tears.
Shi Xiangyun was wronged too.
Marrying Jia Baoyu, the wish of many years has finally come true. It can be said that Shi Xiangyun, who has just married, is happy.Although her cousins often whispered sarcastic remarks in her ears, saying that Jia Baoyu was a waste, Shi Xiangyun didn't care at all.Shi Xiangyun is an orphan, all she wants is someone who treats her well.
And Jia Baoyu was the only person she had met in her life who treated her well, so Shi Xiangyun's heart was on Jia Baoyu from the very beginning.
It is said that if a woman gives her heart, she will become a fool, and Shi Xiangyun is no exception.
Before getting married, Shi Xiangyun's heart was on Jia Baoyu, and she could pretend that he couldn't see all of Jia Baoyu's shortcomings.
Shi Xiangyun thought that since she was the main wife, she didn't need to care about those girls at all.
But the fact is that the absent-minded girls like Caixia who were on Jia Baoyu's side had already found a way to leave, and now those girls who stayed by Jia Baoyu's side all coveted Jia Baoyu, and all wanted to give Jia Baoyu Baoyu became a concubine.Just like Musk Moon, people say that she is the most like Xiren, as virtuous as Xiren, and has no shortcomings of Xiren.
Sheyue can get such an evaluation, her methods must be good, and she is in a group with other girls, how can Shi Xiangyun be the opponent of those girls?Instead, these girls united and sued Jia Baoyu.
At the beginning, the Xue family paid so much money for the Grand View Garden, which made Jia Baoyu feel that he owed Xue Baochai. In addition, Shi Xiangyun once arranged Lin Daiyu with the attacker in front of Jia Baoyu, which made Jia Baoyu feel flat towards her.
In other words, in Jia Baoyu's heart, Shi Xiangyun is just his sister, and only his sister.As an elder brother, Jia Baoyu can tolerate Shi Xiangyun's shortcomings, but as a husband, or as a romantic and somewhat poetic Jia Baoyu, he instinctively likes that kind of perfect girl when it comes to choosing a mate.
That's why Jia Baoyu fell in love with Lin Daiyu.
Even if Lin Daiyu was engaged long ago, she has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu, who cannot marry Lin Daiyu as his wife, is willing to accept Xue Baochai, who has done a lot for him. Shi Xiangyun was never on his wife's waiting list.
But what can be done?
Who made Jia Baoyu still marry Shi Xiangyun?
So Jia Baoyu adopted non-violent non-cooperation. He was the same as he was in the Grand View Garden. He either stayed with those girls and worked as a servant for those girls, or went outside to the Huajie Liuxiang.
Anyway, he still has a pretty face, he is young, he can write poems, and he came out of the rich and famous, and his behavior is different from ordinary poor people. People like him will always be the dreams of those unfortunate women. lover.Even if Jia Baoyu didn't have much money in his pocket, as long as he still had the temperament of being sympathetic and sympathetic to jade, there would be plenty of women in the flower streets and willow alleys willing to support him.
Even though Jia Baoyu is still newly married, in fact, it is already an open secret that he does not return home at night, but it has not been passed on to Jia Mu.
After hearing Shi Xiangyun's cry, Jia's mother was furious, and she called for someone to fetch Jia Baoyu.
Jia Qi snorted and smiled: "Brother Bao's appearance is a bit like what I heard about his father when he was young. I remember that the rumored father looked like this."
When Jia's mother heard about it, she lost her strength and said, "That's not true. I remember that time was when the old Prince Yizhong had an accident. Your father was also like this, drunk and dreaming. It seems that nothing will happen to the Zhang family. He The future is still bright.”
Mother Jia sighed again, and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Girl Yun, everyone here has a hurdle. You see, your uncle was unlucky when he was young! Isn't he coming out now? Wait After a few years, no one remembers that incident, and Baoyu has come out, and you will see the moon and the moon. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and raise a son first, understand?"
Shi Xiangyun wept and nodded.
Mother Jia asked Yuanyang to fetch water again, adjusted Shi Xiangyun's makeup, put on makeup and changed clothes again, and then sat down again.
Shi Xiangyun cried a lot and felt better, so he apologized to Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu, and said, "Brother Qi, you gave me the curtain, is it really okay?"
Jia Qi laughed and said, "For others, this kind of silk curtain with dark patterns may be hard to come by, but for us it is easy to get. I originally thought that the green one would look good when it was newly hung. After a month, it won't be emerald, so I might as well change it every month. But, sister Yun, that's all there is to it."
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "It's a rare blessing to only have one set, so how dare you hope for others?"
Shi Xiangyun is not the kind of girl who has never seen the world. On the contrary, she was born in a duke's family and grew up in front of Jia Mu when she was young. She knows good things.
Huiwen, or Gu embroidery in Suzhou is rare, but for a serious family, whose girl can't call and paint?How many girls can't embroider?In this world, get a girl who is proficient in calligraphy and painting and embroidery, and make up some touching stories. After Gu Xiu, there will naturally be Zhang Xiu, Yang Xiu, and Liu Xiu.
But this Kesi is different.
Kesi, in fact, belongs to the same high-grade silk fabrics as Yunjin. The difference is that Yunjin uses silk threads, but what about Kesi?Not only silk threads are used, but also extremely soft gold and silver threads drawn from gold and silver.After being put on the loom, the silk thread is subjected to different force than the gold thread and silver thread. If you are not careful, the gold thread and silver thread will break, and a good Kesi satin will be finished.
Therefore, Kesi satin takes more effort than brocade.
Shi Xiangyun knew about Yunjin.She heard from the elders in the family that there are brocades in weaving houses all over the country, and Jinling Weaving House has looms dedicated to weaving brocades, which are as tall as a house and require the cooperation of two weavers to weave them.And only the weavers are allowed, and the weavers are not allowed.Because women's physical strength is not enough.
Even so, every three months in the Jinling Weaving Mansion, a loom can only produce brocades of one or two feet.
Therefore, there are countless brocades offered by weaving prefectures in various places. Here are some patterns for you, those patterns for mine, and other patterns for others, so as to ensure that all places can produce them in the shortest possible time. Train enough weavers and ensure that the brocade patterns obtained by the palace will not be repeated.
As for Kesi, it is even better than brocade.
Didn’t you see that there are only a few kinds of Kesi materials in Beijing every year?The colors have been around for decades and have never changed.
The reason is simple, because there are not so many excellent weavers, and no one dares to change the pattern.
Now, Lin Daiyu has a custom-made Kesi curtain, which is the only one in the world. Can Shi Xiangyun not be jealous?
But what's the use of being jealous?
Who made Lin Daiyu marry well?Instead of being jealous of Lin Daiyu, it's better to find a way to make Jia Baoyu move forward and become Jia Qi's second.
Thinking of Jia Baoyu's virtues and Jia Qi, Shi Xiangyun could only sigh.
I can't complain that everyone outside is scrambling to go to Songjiangkou City Shipping Department!
Jia Qi just circled a piece of land over there and built a big city of 60 yuan.The women in the inner house don't know how great a contribution it is, but Lin Daiyu's daily wear, the furnishings and toys in the house, and even a set of curtains are so rich and luxurious, they can all see it.
Who doesn't envy Lin Daiyu?Shi Xiangyun can even say that even the palace is jealous. If it weren't for the current Wansui who is basically a Bodhisattva in many things, except for a few puppies, he doesn't care about anything else. I'm afraid those women will ask Jia Qilin Daiyu for debts veiled.
Shi Xiangyun could even imagine Jia Baoyu's performance after getting that set of curtains.
Sure enough, after getting this set of curtains, Jia Baoyu really liked it very much.
That set of curtains weaves the scenery inside and outside the Great Wall. The blue curtains seem inconspicuous at all. When the wind blows, you will see the Great Wall meandering on the top of the green hills, the blue sky, the green mountains, and so on. There is the Great Wall like a belt, which is only one side, and the other side is the snow scene of the Great Wall.It also only appears when the light changes.
When Jia Baoyu got this curtain, he immediately posted a post to invite some of his old friends, for example, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, Jiang Yuhan and others.
When Feng Ziying saw this curtain, she was taken aback: "Brother Bao, where did you get such a treasure?"
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "It was my cousin who honored our old lady. Our old lady loved me so much that she gave it to me."
Wei Ruolan said: "Could it be that this is the tribute that Jia Shizhao offered to the palace but got back because the Supreme Emperor and Long Live did not deal with each other?"
Feng Ziying hurriedly asked why.
Wei Ruolan said: "I won't say much about Jia Shizhao's ability. Anyway, you all know that Songjiangkou City Shipping Department has a lot of money, and you have also heard that what the Supreme Emperor means is that he wants to send a manager to Songjiangkou, but Wansui said that if eunuchs were sent there, it would be just another Jinling City Shipping Department. The Supreme Emperor and Wansui had quarreled for several days, and even those princes were involved. But at this time, Jia Shi Zhao returned to Beijing, and specially brought this year's tribute from Songjiangkou. When the Supreme Emperor got angry, he threw Jia Shizhao out of the palace. It is absolutely impossible for the tributes at the palace gate to be sent into the palace again. No, Jia Shizhao can only put away those tributes by himself."
"It's a strange way." Feng Ziying said, "If you want me to say, Jia Shizhao's ability is well known. Since Song Jiangkou is so good under his command and he is young, why not let him take charge for a few more years?"
Wei Ruolan said: "That's not the case. I want to say that Wansui today definitely likes to use him, but some people don't like him."
"why?"
Wei Ruolan said coldly: "That's not easy? Isn't it just because he is too capable?"
Wei Ruolan is really tired of this world.
Jia Baoyu didn't understand why Jia Qi's ability was not good.
But both Feng Ziying and Jiang Yuhan looked concerned, so he could only suppress his doubts and ponder slowly.
At this moment, Jia Baoyu had only one thought in his mind, and that was:
If something happens to Brother Qi, Sister Lin will be pitiful.
Jia Han is the same age as Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and others, and they are both 17 years old this year. However, the girls in Jia She's family got engaged late, and they only got engaged after they were 15 years old and after the ceremony. Jia Han was also the same age as her sister Jia Xuan, so, Mrs. Jia Shexing made an engagement for Jia Xuan first, then married Jia Xuan the next year, and then made an engagement for Jia Han.
In someone else's house, the girls are all 16 or [-] years old, and they are almost old girls, but who made Jia Qi come out of Jia She's family?So what if Jia Han is [-] and still not engaged?There's nothing wrong with the girl, it's just that she has an older sister, so she's two years behind.Furthermore, with an uncle like Jia Qi, are you afraid that the Jia family will not support him in the future?
On the day when the dowry was posted, Jia Han's mother-in-law even smiled crookedly when she saw Jia Han's 10,000+ dowry and the emerald grape bonsai.
To be able to marry such a daughter-in-law, isn't their family convinced?
The Jia family went to celebrate the wedding honestly, regardless of the fact that the court had been bombed, and even the harem was in turmoil.
Shipbuilding Department of Songjiangkou City, with an annual income of 2000 million!
This news spread throughout the ruling and opposition parties. Anyone who has the qualifications, and anyone who is not qualified to be a prime minister at the moment, roars in their hearts:
I want!
I want to become the chief executive of Songjiangkou Shipbuilding Department!
In stark contrast to the gods from all over the world showing their magical powers, the newlywed Jia Qi didn't even leave the house, and went to enjoy his newly married life.
On the issue of work, Jia Amnesty would never interfere with his sons' affairs, and Mrs. Xing would not dictate Jia Qi's affairs, let alone Jia Lian and Jia Cong brothers.The three brothers and the three mothers, although taking care of each other in the officialdom, they have a very good sense of proportion in private.
Jia Amnesty's side is very harmonious, but some people just don't wink.
No, when Jia Qi went to greet Jia Mu according to the etiquette, he happened to meet Li Wanshi Xiangyun's sister-in-law who also came early in the morning to give Jia Mu morning and evening peace.
Shi Xiangyun had long seen Lin Daiyu's red tapestry with lotus twigs all over the place, and the red pomegranate skirt, and seeing Jia Qi coming with Lin Daiyu, he immediately smiled and said: "After waiting for so many years, it can be regarded as I have had Sister Lin's wedding wine. I don't know when you can treat us to soup cakes?"
In the old days, children would invite relatives, friends, and neighbors to eat soup cakes for a hundred days, so the hundred-day banquet is also called soup cake meeting.
When Lin Daiyu heard about it, she blushed a long time ago.
Seeing this, Jia Qi smiled and said, "Sister Yun would say that. Could it be that there is good news?"
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Where is it so fast?" After a pause, he said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Brother Qi has grown up. The days go by so fast. I always feel that Brother Qi is still a little bit older." The older child couldn't reach the ground when he sat beside Sister Lin, so he came to greet the old lady and asked her to carry him to the chair."
Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "That's not true. He had a weird temper back then, and he didn't like to be touched by grandma when he was young. Now in a blink of an eye, he is already an adult."
Li Wan said: "This is a congratulations to my wife. I married a daughter-in-law this year, and I will have a grandson next year."
Only then did Madam Xing and the others realize that the focus of the sister-in-law was still on their grandson.
Zhang Shuya's complexion immediately turned ugly.Who let her enter the door for three years, and her stomach hasn't moved at all?
Although Mrs. Xing never urged her, Zhang Shuya was also worried.
As for Lin Daiyu, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.
There is no way, who made it difficult for the famous descendants of the Lin family. The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and Lin Ruhai did not have her and her younger brother until she was in her 40s. Unfortunately, her younger brother died when she was three years old.If she inherits the physique of the Lin family and has no children for a long time, then...
Although Jia Qi has a deep affection for her, in this world, it is a woman's nature to bear children for her husband. If she can't bear a son, even if Jia Qi is like her father, she will not blame her wife, but Lin Daiyu It is also very likely that like Jia Min back then, he cannot forgive himself.
Mrs. Xing didn't seem to notice Zhang Shuya and Lin Daiyu's discomfort, she smiled and said: "Grandson? I already have one." As she spoke, she smiled at Wang Xifeng.
But no, on the eighth day of March last year, Wang Xifeng gave birth to a fat boy, which happened to be one day earlier than Jia Lian's birthday. When the child was born that day, Jia Amnesty ordered people to set off firecrackers for three days.
Although the child was delicate, and the later washing three and the full moon were not held, the Hundred Days Banquet was extremely lively.
Shi Xiangyun said: "My wife is really merciful." He smiled and gave Wang Xifeng a look.
Although Shi Xiangyun is still bright and generous, and there is nothing wrong with his expression, even if someone who is not aware of it can't tell that there is something wrong here, but who here doesn't know who?
Even Zhang Shuya knew that Shi Xiangyun was not easy to get along with.
Besides, compassion is not a good word in Jia's house.
In Jia's family, speaking of merciful people, there is only one Mrs. Wang in Mrs. Xing's generation.
At the beginning, Mrs. Wang was known as a compassionate person in Jia's family, but Mrs. Xing only had four words: mean and widowed.To put it bluntly, now that Yingchun has been married, when others talk about Yingchun, they will say that Mrs. Xing is not virtuous, treats her stepdaughter badly, and forces her husband to adopt her stepdaughter, but treats Yingchun to her parents and brothers. The sister-in-law basically ignored it, and only cared about Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's affairs without mentioning a word.
Now that Shi Xiangyun said in public, "My wife is really merciful", is he praising Mrs. Xing or scolding Mrs. Xing, or is he simply trying to remind people of Mrs. Wang who was exiled?
Before Mrs. Xing could open her mouth, Mother Jia had already dressed inside, she came out holding Yuanyang's hand, and seeing the awkward atmosphere outside, she laughed and said, "What were you talking about just now? I heard you chattering inside just now. "
Jia Qi said: "Old lady, just now sister Caiyun said 'Madam is really compassionate', which reminded me of my aunt over there. When my aunt was here, wasn't she one of the most merciful people in the two families? It was a big mistake, and Sister Yun is smart and well-behaved, so how could she mention auntie? I wondered if Brother Bao missed his mother, so I asked Sister Yun to come to the old lady to ring the wooden clock."
When Jia's mother heard about it, she sighed and said, "Baoyu's child is kind-hearted. It's a pity that he is still like a child at such a big age! Don't say anything else, let's talk about his room, just from him How many accidents have happened since we moved into the garden? Just like that Xiren, didn’t we rely on him to do things wrong? As for the second daughter-in-law, I also know that she is Baoyu’s mother. Others can tell her wrong, but Baoyu can’t Well, if Baoyu detested his mother like everyone else, I wouldn't love him so much! It's a pity that his whole life is destined to be dragged down by his mother."
Then, Mother Jia said to Mrs. Xing: "Eldest daughter-in-law, although the two families have separated, Baoyu is the elder's nephew after all. I am also old, and I can't take care of him for a few years. After a hundred years, I will I'm afraid Baoyu will ask you to take care of me."
After being called by Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing stood up quickly, and Jia Qi, Wang Xifeng, Zhang Shuya, and Lin Daiyu below also stood up.
Since it was Mother Jia's request, no matter how reluctant Mrs. Xing was, Mrs. Xing still had to agree.
Jia Qi also said: "Old lady, other people are fine, my father crawled out of your stomach, you still don't know him? Although my father and the aunt over there are at odds, he has never angered Big Brother Zhu down there. , Brother Bao and a group of sisters. Furthermore, now that Brother Bao is at home every day and has gone out to mess around, what trouble can he cause? If Brother Bao doesn’t cause trouble, my father will never watch others come to the house bullying Second Brother Bao."
Listening to Jia Qi's words and seeing Jia Qi's expression, Jia's mother knew what Jia Qi meant: as long as Jia Baoyu didn't get into trouble, Jia Amnesty would definitely not watch Jia Baoyu being bullied. As Jia Amnesty's son, Jia Qi was also willing. Help a little within a certain range.
Jia Amnesty is just an empty-headed lord, how can it compare to Jia Qi's high status and bright future?As long as Jia Qi is not angry with Jia Baoyu, and as long as Jia Qi is willing to take care of Jia Baoyu, Mother Jia will be satisfied.
Jia's mother said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, if you are like this, I can rest assured. Now I only hope that your husband and wife will be happy and have many children and grandchildren."
Jia Qi laughed and said, "Borrowing the old lady's good words, sister Lin and I will be fine."
Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction.
Shi Xiangyun is the same age as Lin Daiyu, only a few months younger than Lin Daiyu, but the fate of the two is very different. Therefore, her jealousy of Lin Daiyu has never been a secret.
However, when it is time to know the current affairs, Shi Xiangyun knows the current affairs better than anyone else.Although she was jealous of Lin Daiyu, Mother Jia helped her get Jia Qi's guarantee, would she stab Lin Daiyu in front of Mother Jia and Jia Qi?
Of course she sat obediently.
Shi Xiangyun achieved his goal, but Li Wan felt uncomfortable.
Shi Xiangyun was concerned about Jia Baoyu's future, and Li Wan was equally worried about Jia Lan's.But she waited for a long time, but she couldn't see Jia Mu speaking for her, so she couldn't help feeling anxious.Li Wan is a good mother. She didn't even bother to slander Jia Mu for not saying a word about Jia Lan, so she asked Jia Qi in public: "Brother Qi, you are a fourth-rank official now. I think you have a lot of staff around here." .”
Jia Qi took a deep look at her, then slightly narrowed the peach blossom eyes inherited from Jia She, and said: "Yes, sister-in-law Zhu, there are quite a few people around me. If nothing else, I have to start from nothing." Yes, let a city that can accommodate 20 people suddenly appear, how can it be done without manpower? Fortunately, when my father-in-law was around, there were a few useful people around me. After receiving my letter, those old gentlemen traveled thousands of miles The land came to help me, and my father also borrowed several people for me. Otherwise, I would not be able to do it alone."
Li Wan said: "I heard that how many of them have obtained official positions now?"
Jia Qi paused for a moment, then took a sip of tea, and said, "Yes, as the highest official of the Shibo Department, I already have a set of subordinate government agencies. Those gentlemen have helped me do it for the past few years. It’s enough to get a real vacancy. Besides, they are recruiters, I just wrote a letter of recommendation. The real decision to use them is still the official department.”
Li Wan asked this question only for the sake of Jia Lan's future.If Jia Lan is Jia Lian, with a clean identity, although he is a bit of a dandy, he still has a conscience, and Jia Qi really doesn't mind helping him, just like when he separated from before, Jia She said that the 90-acre river beach If the land is to be counted among the separated fields, Jia Lian still has to take the bulk of the land, so it's as if Jia Qi agreed without saying a word.Because he knew that for a person like Jia Lian, Jia Lian would remember that when others treated him well, it was Wang Xifeng who took the money and could exchange some smiling faces.
But what about Li Wan and Jia Lan?
Jia Qi can say bluntly that when a meat bun hits a dog, the dog even knows how to wag its tail!If Li Wan and Jia Lan are replaced, if the position to be filled in the future is not close, or if something happens to Jia Lan, wouldn't Li Wan hate Jia Qi to death?
Jia Qi didn't want to ask for trouble yet.
Furthermore, what Li Wan and Shi Xiangyun seek are different. What Shi Xiangyun seeks is a safe home and not to be harassed by Xiaoxiao, but what Li Wan seeks is Jia Lan's bright future.After being a sinner, do you still want Jia Qi to stand up to the law and make Jia Lan rise to the top?
Jia Qi simply refused on the grounds that everyone else was Juren, but Jia Lan didn't.
"I forced it."
Li Wan said so, but he might not be convinced in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuya also smiled and said: "Speaking of it, this is the difference between today's Wansui and the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor is willing to give respect to the veterans, so when the Supreme Emperor was in power, the children of noble families never passed the exam. In the imperial examination, as long as you vote for the Supreme Emperor's favor, or if your family has a pleading paper, the Supreme Emperor does not mind giving an official position. But today's Wansui is different. In this regard, Today's Wansui is the most stubborn. No matter what your background is, as long as you don't Those who have entered the examination room, if they say they don’t need it, they don’t need it. Even if they haven’t entered the Jinshi Department, they can also pass the Ming Suan Ke Ming Economics Department. However, those who have not participated in the imperial examination are not allowed. When I went back to my mother’s house last time, My father said that two years ago, for the sake of the Supreme Emperor, Wansui could accommodate those courtiers who had not taken the imperial examination. In the past two years, Wansui has not had such a good temper. Otherwise, based on two With my brother's abilities and achievements, I'm afraid he has been promoted long ago, so why would he stay in the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Industry?"
Li Wan was stunned.
Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were full of surprise: "My in-laws really said that?"
Zhang Shuya said: "Yes. In fact, Wansui has said in public more than once that governing a country depends on officials. If any cat or dog can be an official, then the world will not be far from chaos. Juren is the minimum standard for Wansui to select officials. "
Li Wan's heart was on fire, and he said: "It's a pity, Brother Qi, if he had passed the palace examination in an upright manner, he wouldn't be sitting here today, would he?"
The house suddenly fell silent.
Jia Qi said: "No matter what, I was also Qiu Wei Yayuan of Beigong Academy in that year, and I was also the youngest Juren in history. Unless someone can surpass this record, I will always be the one who will leave a name in history."
Shi Xiangyun laughed and said, "What's more, you bought 90 mu of river beach land, supported 500 million refugees, and built the Songjiangkou City Shipping Department, with an annual income of 2000 million. That's not enough for you to be famous in history? Let me tell you, Brother Qi Son, let the people outside run and break their legs, as long as you stay at home without moving like a mountain, when Long Live wants to use you, he will still use you."
Jia Qi laughed and said, "Sister Yun is really insightful! It should be clear."
"Hahahaha, good, good, good," Mother Jia said with a smile, "I was worried at first, but now I'm relieved after hearing what Yun girl said."
Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Old lady, I didn't say this. I don't have such a good insight. This is what Baoyu said, but I have been unconvinced. Now that I have met Brother Qi, I know. Baoyu, I'm still far behind."
Hearing that it was Jia Baoyu who said it, Mother Jia sighed again: "It's a pity for Baoyu after all." She said to Jia Qi, "Brother Qi, last time, you honored me with a set of silk curtains. I remember that Baoyu likes this the most, and I want to send it to Baoyu."
Jia Qi said: "Since it is already the old lady's property, the old lady is in charge."
Shi Xiangyun asked curiously, "What curtain? So expensive?"
Zhang Shuya said: "A silk curtain? But the kind that the fourth brother and fourth younger siblings hang in the house now?"
Shi Xiangyun was surprised and said, "Sister-in-law three knows?"
Zhang Shuya said: "Yes, although there are regulations on the new house, the flower hall used by the fourth sibling to entertain guests is not a problem. I remember this is the filial piety of the workshop of the fourth sibling's home, right? The curtain is just a ten-foot banner , it is the pattern of dark lines on silk tapestry. If you are not careful, you may think it is just an ordinary brocade, but if there is a wind blowing or the light changes, there will be trees, falling petals, and other things on the curtain. The swaying strong grass is looming, and being in it is like walking in that painting."
When decorating the new house, Zhang Shuya went to help, so she knew it.The set of spring outing pictures hanging in Lin Daiyu's house is themed on the Su Causeway of West Lake. Being in the flower hall is like walking on the Su Causeway in spring.
To be honest, even Zhang Shuya couldn't help being jealous of Lin Daiyu when she saw the picture of Su Causeway Outing in Spring.
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It's not this one. There are twelve such curtains in one set. Weavers who know how to cut silk are hard to find these days, and weavers who can make the scenery come alive are even more rare. I heard that, In order to reappear those scenes, Qi Geer specially made the weaver Zhiniang below live near those famous places for a whole year to get two sets."
One set was naturally used by Lin Daiyu to decorate the new house, and the other set was naturally the set of honoring Jia Mu.
It's fine if Lin Daiyu doesn't open her mouth, but once Lin Daiyu opened her mouth, Shi Xiangyun couldn't suppress her jealousy, and blurted out: "I heard that only the women in that building decorate their houses with brocade."
The room suddenly became quiet, and even Mrs. Xing's expression changed.
Jia Qi immediately said: "Sister Yun doesn't understand. Huaxia Huaxia, the beauty of the clothes and the great etiquette, overseas barbarians don't pay attention to this, we really pay attention to what kind of utensils and clothes people wear , These are all strictly regulated. What kind of place is the Qinlou Chu Pavilion that Sister Yun mentioned? It turns out that it is the place where the third-rate people please the nobles, but how can they have the qualifications to use official satin? Silk. The only thing they can use is various kinds of miscellaneous silk, and they must be careful not to make taboos. Besides, if they want to please the nobles, they must try their best to make them feel at home. It is because they tried their best to imitate us. How did these wealthy families get into my sister's mouth, but they can decorate their houses with silk and satin, but we can't? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? "
Shi Xiangyun said in a daze: "Brother Qi is quite clear about it. I think he has been to those places a lot, right?"
Jia Qi said: "The more prosperous a place is, the less Qinlou Chu Pavilion is impossible. If the government doesn't care about it, God knows what will happen in these places! Since I can transform Songjiangkou from a small, less than A fishing village with 200 people has become a big city with a population of 60. How can you not know about this? By the way, Sister Yun is a lady, how can she know about those places? Brother Bao must have told Sister Yun .Second Brother Bao is really serious, doesn’t he even know that Sister Yun is his wife? If he tells his wife this, doesn’t he know that Sister Yun will be sad?”
When Shi Xiangyun's words and deeds against Lin Daiyu were turned around by Jia Qi, it became evidence that Jia Baoyu was sorry for Shi Xiangyun and made Shi Xiangyun so unhappy that he lost his composure in front of Jia's mother.
Mother Jia originally wanted to attack Shi Xiangyun, but when she saw this, she quickly hugged Shi Xiangyun in her arms and said, "Girl Yun, I know you have been wronged. But you have to think about it, Baoyu is suffering too. He is getting older, too. He doesn't have a serious business, and he has such a mother... Aside from making those rouge powders at home, isn't that the only place he can go? Can you be more considerate of him?"
When Shi Xiangyun heard about it, he burst into tears.
Shi Xiangyun was wronged too.
Marrying Jia Baoyu, the wish of many years has finally come true. It can be said that Shi Xiangyun, who has just married, is happy.Although her cousins often whispered sarcastic remarks in her ears, saying that Jia Baoyu was a waste, Shi Xiangyun didn't care at all.Shi Xiangyun is an orphan, all she wants is someone who treats her well.
And Jia Baoyu was the only person she had met in her life who treated her well, so Shi Xiangyun's heart was on Jia Baoyu from the very beginning.
It is said that if a woman gives her heart, she will become a fool, and Shi Xiangyun is no exception.
Before getting married, Shi Xiangyun's heart was on Jia Baoyu, and she could pretend that he couldn't see all of Jia Baoyu's shortcomings.
Shi Xiangyun thought that since she was the main wife, she didn't need to care about those girls at all.
But the fact is that the absent-minded girls like Caixia who were on Jia Baoyu's side had already found a way to leave, and now those girls who stayed by Jia Baoyu's side all coveted Jia Baoyu, and all wanted to give Jia Baoyu Baoyu became a concubine.Just like Musk Moon, people say that she is the most like Xiren, as virtuous as Xiren, and has no shortcomings of Xiren.
Sheyue can get such an evaluation, her methods must be good, and she is in a group with other girls, how can Shi Xiangyun be the opponent of those girls?Instead, these girls united and sued Jia Baoyu.
At the beginning, the Xue family paid so much money for the Grand View Garden, which made Jia Baoyu feel that he owed Xue Baochai. In addition, Shi Xiangyun once arranged Lin Daiyu with the attacker in front of Jia Baoyu, which made Jia Baoyu feel flat towards her.
In other words, in Jia Baoyu's heart, Shi Xiangyun is just his sister, and only his sister.As an elder brother, Jia Baoyu can tolerate Shi Xiangyun's shortcomings, but as a husband, or as a romantic and somewhat poetic Jia Baoyu, he instinctively likes that kind of perfect girl when it comes to choosing a mate.
That's why Jia Baoyu fell in love with Lin Daiyu.
Even if Lin Daiyu was engaged long ago, she has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu, who cannot marry Lin Daiyu as his wife, is willing to accept Xue Baochai, who has done a lot for him. Shi Xiangyun was never on his wife's waiting list.
But what can be done?
Who made Jia Baoyu still marry Shi Xiangyun?
So Jia Baoyu adopted non-violent non-cooperation. He was the same as he was in the Grand View Garden. He either stayed with those girls and worked as a servant for those girls, or went outside to the Huajie Liuxiang.
Anyway, he still has a pretty face, he is young, he can write poems, and he came out of the rich and famous, and his behavior is different from ordinary poor people. People like him will always be the dreams of those unfortunate women. lover.Even if Jia Baoyu didn't have much money in his pocket, as long as he still had the temperament of being sympathetic and sympathetic to jade, there would be plenty of women in the flower streets and willow alleys willing to support him.
Even though Jia Baoyu is still newly married, in fact, it is already an open secret that he does not return home at night, but it has not been passed on to Jia Mu.
After hearing Shi Xiangyun's cry, Jia's mother was furious, and she called for someone to fetch Jia Baoyu.
Jia Qi snorted and smiled: "Brother Bao's appearance is a bit like what I heard about his father when he was young. I remember that the rumored father looked like this."
When Jia's mother heard about it, she lost her strength and said, "That's not true. I remember that time was when the old Prince Yizhong had an accident. Your father was also like this, drunk and dreaming. It seems that nothing will happen to the Zhang family. He The future is still bright.”
Mother Jia sighed again, and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Girl Yun, everyone here has a hurdle. You see, your uncle was unlucky when he was young! Isn't he coming out now? Wait After a few years, no one remembers that incident, and Baoyu has come out, and you will see the moon and the moon. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and raise a son first, understand?"
Shi Xiangyun wept and nodded.
Mother Jia asked Yuanyang to fetch water again, adjusted Shi Xiangyun's makeup, put on makeup and changed clothes again, and then sat down again.
Shi Xiangyun cried a lot and felt better, so he apologized to Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu, and said, "Brother Qi, you gave me the curtain, is it really okay?"
Jia Qi laughed and said, "For others, this kind of silk curtain with dark patterns may be hard to come by, but for us it is easy to get. I originally thought that the green one would look good when it was newly hung. After a month, it won't be emerald, so I might as well change it every month. But, sister Yun, that's all there is to it."
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "It's a rare blessing to only have one set, so how dare you hope for others?"
Shi Xiangyun is not the kind of girl who has never seen the world. On the contrary, she was born in a duke's family and grew up in front of Jia Mu when she was young. She knows good things.
Huiwen, or Gu embroidery in Suzhou is rare, but for a serious family, whose girl can't call and paint?How many girls can't embroider?In this world, get a girl who is proficient in calligraphy and painting and embroidery, and make up some touching stories. After Gu Xiu, there will naturally be Zhang Xiu, Yang Xiu, and Liu Xiu.
But this Kesi is different.
Kesi, in fact, belongs to the same high-grade silk fabrics as Yunjin. The difference is that Yunjin uses silk threads, but what about Kesi?Not only silk threads are used, but also extremely soft gold and silver threads drawn from gold and silver.After being put on the loom, the silk thread is subjected to different force than the gold thread and silver thread. If you are not careful, the gold thread and silver thread will break, and a good Kesi satin will be finished.
Therefore, Kesi satin takes more effort than brocade.
Shi Xiangyun knew about Yunjin.She heard from the elders in the family that there are brocades in weaving houses all over the country, and Jinling Weaving House has looms dedicated to weaving brocades, which are as tall as a house and require the cooperation of two weavers to weave them.And only the weavers are allowed, and the weavers are not allowed.Because women's physical strength is not enough.
Even so, every three months in the Jinling Weaving Mansion, a loom can only produce brocades of one or two feet.
Therefore, there are countless brocades offered by weaving prefectures in various places. Here are some patterns for you, those patterns for mine, and other patterns for others, so as to ensure that all places can produce them in the shortest possible time. Train enough weavers and ensure that the brocade patterns obtained by the palace will not be repeated.
As for Kesi, it is even better than brocade.
Didn’t you see that there are only a few kinds of Kesi materials in Beijing every year?The colors have been around for decades and have never changed.
The reason is simple, because there are not so many excellent weavers, and no one dares to change the pattern.
Now, Lin Daiyu has a custom-made Kesi curtain, which is the only one in the world. Can Shi Xiangyun not be jealous?
But what's the use of being jealous?
Who made Lin Daiyu marry well?Instead of being jealous of Lin Daiyu, it's better to find a way to make Jia Baoyu move forward and become Jia Qi's second.
Thinking of Jia Baoyu's virtues and Jia Qi, Shi Xiangyun could only sigh.
I can't complain that everyone outside is scrambling to go to Songjiangkou City Shipping Department!
Jia Qi just circled a piece of land over there and built a big city of 60 yuan.The women in the inner house don't know how great a contribution it is, but Lin Daiyu's daily wear, the furnishings and toys in the house, and even a set of curtains are so rich and luxurious, they can all see it.
Who doesn't envy Lin Daiyu?Shi Xiangyun can even say that even the palace is jealous. If it weren't for the current Wansui who is basically a Bodhisattva in many things, except for a few puppies, he doesn't care about anything else. I'm afraid those women will ask Jia Qilin Daiyu for debts veiled.
Shi Xiangyun could even imagine Jia Baoyu's performance after getting that set of curtains.
Sure enough, after getting this set of curtains, Jia Baoyu really liked it very much.
That set of curtains weaves the scenery inside and outside the Great Wall. The blue curtains seem inconspicuous at all. When the wind blows, you will see the Great Wall meandering on the top of the green hills, the blue sky, the green mountains, and so on. There is the Great Wall like a belt, which is only one side, and the other side is the snow scene of the Great Wall.It also only appears when the light changes.
When Jia Baoyu got this curtain, he immediately posted a post to invite some of his old friends, for example, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, Jiang Yuhan and others.
When Feng Ziying saw this curtain, she was taken aback: "Brother Bao, where did you get such a treasure?"
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "It was my cousin who honored our old lady. Our old lady loved me so much that she gave it to me."
Wei Ruolan said: "Could it be that this is the tribute that Jia Shizhao offered to the palace but got back because the Supreme Emperor and Long Live did not deal with each other?"
Feng Ziying hurriedly asked why.
Wei Ruolan said: "I won't say much about Jia Shizhao's ability. Anyway, you all know that Songjiangkou City Shipping Department has a lot of money, and you have also heard that what the Supreme Emperor means is that he wants to send a manager to Songjiangkou, but Wansui said that if eunuchs were sent there, it would be just another Jinling City Shipping Department. The Supreme Emperor and Wansui had quarreled for several days, and even those princes were involved. But at this time, Jia Shi Zhao returned to Beijing, and specially brought this year's tribute from Songjiangkou. When the Supreme Emperor got angry, he threw Jia Shizhao out of the palace. It is absolutely impossible for the tributes at the palace gate to be sent into the palace again. No, Jia Shizhao can only put away those tributes by himself."
"It's a strange way." Feng Ziying said, "If you want me to say, Jia Shizhao's ability is well known. Since Song Jiangkou is so good under his command and he is young, why not let him take charge for a few more years?"
Wei Ruolan said: "That's not the case. I want to say that Wansui today definitely likes to use him, but some people don't like him."
"why?"
Wei Ruolan said coldly: "That's not easy? Isn't it just because he is too capable?"
Wei Ruolan is really tired of this world.
Jia Baoyu didn't understand why Jia Qi's ability was not good.
But both Feng Ziying and Jiang Yuhan looked concerned, so he could only suppress his doubts and ponder slowly.
At this moment, Jia Baoyu had only one thought in his mind, and that was:
If something happens to Brother Qi, Sister Lin will be pitiful.
