The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

But Jia Lian left Jiamu's house, upset, and went back to the house and lay down without saying a word.Wang Xifeng was talking to Heping'er, he was quite surprised to see that his expression was different from before.Ping'er tactfully led the girls back, and Wang Xifeng pushed Jia Lian and asked him what happened.

Jia Lian ignored her, turned over suddenly and went out.

Wang Xifeng stared blankly at the shaking door curtain, gritted her teeth, her eyes turned red.It was the first time that Jia Lian gave her a face like this, but she didn't do anything recently, so why did she offend him?

"Ping'er!" Wang Xifeng calmed down and called Ping'er in. "Go and see where the second master went."

Jia Lian went directly to the east courtyard to meet Jia Amnesty.Although father and son are not close to each other on weekdays, and the father is a gangster who only knows how to drink and mess around with his little wife, but when it comes to big things, they are father and son after all.

Mrs. Xing had just talked to Jia She about the silver. Jia She was thinking about how to get the silver into her own hands.When Jia Lian explained the reason for his visit, Jia Amnesty was startled at first, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay! It's your Uncle Lin who loves you." Then his face changed, and he cursed: "This kind of thing that fell from the sky How stupid are you to push away such a good thing? Have you been kicked by a donkey? Go out and find out, how many people are lacking in Beijing every year? How many people spend money and can’t get an official, you’re not satisfied.”

"My son doesn't dare, it's just that the pro-protestant's house is going to be built right now, I'm afraid the old lady won't." Jia Lian was used to being scolded, but he could tell that his father was very appreciative of his appointment as an official.

Jia She snorted and saw through his thoughts at a glance: "I know, you are afraid of suffering, and you are reluctant to part with the money in the mansion. You just go, I will watch over the mansion, this is our big house's property!" Walking back and forth for a long time , and said: "Don't say anything about this, and don't tell your wife, lest the second wife will get the news. When the official appointment document comes out, I will have something to say to the old lady."

Although Jia Lian didn't understand, seeing that he was so determined, he agreed.

Lin Ruhai wasn't surprised to see Jia Lian coming again. Although he didn't show a good face, he still helped in finding the missing child.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the banker entered Beijing in a low-key manner.

Because Zhuang Li came to tidy up the house earlier, and visited several relatives and friends, so those who are well-informed about the Zhuang family's entry into Beijing also know.It happened more than ten years ago, the younger generation didn't know the dealer, and the older ones couldn't remember it for a while, and those who knew the inside story might not be as keen. They just thought that the dealer had been hiding for so many years and finally wanted to find a way out. .

The Lin family also got the news early, after a few days guessing that the other party had settled down, Lin Ruhai brought Daiyu to visit.Lin Qingyun was going to be a filial piety in February next spring, even if he was curious about what kind of family the Zhuang family was, it was not easy to visit.

In the front hall of the Zhuang's house, Zhuang Li personally greeted Lin Ruhai, and another kind-faced old lady greeted Daiyu, and led Daiyu's sedan chair to the second gate.Zhuang Li knew that the person sitting in the sedan chair was a girl from the Lin family. In recent days, his grandmother and mother mentioned that there was another plum blossom poem in front of him, so he couldn't help but glance at the sedan chair.There are small windows on both sides of the sedan chair, because they are specially prepared for the female relatives, and the window screens are blown to prevent it from being enlarged, and the window screens are all stuck.Although the light blue window screen is light and breathable, the outside can be vaguely seen from the inside, but the inside cannot be seen from the outside.Daiyu was also very curious about the Zhuang's family, when she heard the voice of a young young man outside, she knew it was the eldest son of the Zhuang's family, just when the other party looked up, although he was vaguely aware of his appearance, she quickly retracted it His gaze lowered his head, his face blushed even if no one noticed, and he didn't dare to look outside casually.

"Miss Lin, please get off the sedan chair." The sedan chair stopped at the second door.

At this time, Daiyu's red face had faded, and when she saw the curtain of the sedan chair was raised, she helped the old mother to get out of the sedan chair.Daiyu Bingxue is smart, when she sees that this nanny's clothes and manners are different from ordinary people, and she came to greet her specially, she knows that it is the old lady of the Zhuang family or a very respectable nanny beside the wives, so she speaks very politely: "Thank you mama."

When the mother saw it, she couldn't help admiring in her heart, she was worthy of being the daughter of Lin Tanhua's family, she gave birth to delicate flowers like water, and because she was a daughter from Jiangnan, she had a certain charm and charm, which compared with several girls in the family.

"The old slave's surname is Chen, and the girl does not mind calling her Nanny Chen."

"Mother Chen." Daiyu called out as she said.

"Miss Lin was born so well, it reminds me of Mrs. Lin's demeanor back then. After a while, old ladies and wives must like her very much when they see her." Nanny Chen led her up the steps while talking, A maid had opened the curtain long ago, and a gust of warm fragrant wind wafted out from the door.

Daiyu entered the door and walked around a large floor-to-ceiling screen, but saw an old lady with silver hair sitting in the middle, two wives beside her, and four girls of the same age.This familiar scene made her feel a little dazed, as if she had entered the Rongguo Mansion again, but she soon came to her senses that the dealer was not the Jia family.

As soon as Daiyu came in, everyone in the room was looking at her, and their eyes lit up when they saw her.

Today Daiyu was wearing a light yellow round neck brocade padded jacket embroidered with green bamboo patterns, and a crane cloak in a white fox with a red feather veil on the outside. The bright colors made her delicate and elegant, and her smile was like a painting.After entering the house, Daiyu took off her crane cloak and walked to the middle of the house to greet the old lady of the Zhuang family.

"Get up quickly! Help up!" Although the old lady Zhuang has silver hair, she has a ruddy complexion and a hale and hearty look. She looks calm, magnanimous and kind.He ordered Nanny Chen to help him up, and gave him a pair of green and transparent jade bracelets as a gift, and said: "We brought these from the south, there are many jades over there, it's not worth anything, just accept it. "

Daiyu thanked her, and then greeted the two wives of the Zhuang family, who also gave greetings respectively.

The four girls of the Zhuang family stood up early, talked about the year to each other, and saw each other again, and then sat down.Daiyu is a guest, sitting on top of the four girls, next to Mrs. Zhuang.The old lady asked her how old she was, what books she had read, what she did on weekdays, etc. Daiyu answered them one by one with a natural and generous expression. I told the truth about what books I read and what articles I liked.

"Oh, your father doesn't count if he passed the Tanhua exam. Maybe he wants to teach you to be a female Tanhua." Although the old lady was joking, she liked her even more.

Not only the men of the farmer study, but the girls also study, and the wives they marry are all born in a family of poetry and books. There is nothing to do on weekdays. The whole family and women also set up a club to compose poems. Occasionally, the poems they make can overwhelm the men outside. It's a great joy for them.They both have the same hobbies, and they chatted with each other, and Daiyu gradually let go of her hands and feet, and when she became interested, she wanted to invite them to her home to appreciate plum blossoms and write poems.

When she came back in the evening, Daiyu went directly to Lin Qingyun's room.

"Sister Qingyun." Daiyu met a few new sisters today, and chatted about poetry and books again. She was in a great mood, and pulled Qingyun to tell what she saw and heard when she went to the dealer.At the end, she said with a little regret: "I wanted to invite them to come to our house to appreciate plum blossoms and write poems, but they are busy in the twelfth lunar month, and they just came to Beijing, so there is no time for them in the twelfth lunar month."

"After all, I'll be in the capital from now on. After the new year, how many poems do I want to write?" Lin Qingyun heard her words, and she had a better understanding of the Zhuang family, and discovered something. "According to what you said, the Zhuang family only came to two rooms, and the third room stayed in southern Yunnan?"

"Well, after all, the Zhuang family has stayed in southern Yunnan for more than ten years, and the academy they opened at the beginning was quite large, so it's hard to let it go. The third-fang master didn't want to be an official, so he decided to stay in southern Yunnan to manage the academy for the time being. In addition, their family There is also the Luming Academy handed down from the ancestors, which is the foundation of their family. Now the person in charge is getting old, and the third master will take over in the future. The lady of the third room has followed her to Beijing, her name is Shiya, and she is ranked No. Six, she is ten years old this year, and she is the youngest. The two girls in the second room are fifteen and thirteen, and Shi Xiang in the first room is 12 years old."

Lin Qingyun was a little speechless when he heard it: "I remember that the family rules of their family are that concubines are not allowed, and those who accept concubines in the name of asking for children should look at the Zhuang family. They are a quiet couple who don't behave like grandchildren. "As soon as I finished speaking, I felt bad, and for a while, I forgot Lin Ruhai's situation. When I saw it, Daiyu really looked sad.Qingyun hurriedly beat herself twice as punishment: "My sister, forgive me, it's all my nonsense, there are exceptions to everything..."

"Sister, you don't have to be like this." Daiyu shook her head, her expression has improved a lot: "My mother was burdened by her children when she was alive, and her life was too hard. If that younger brother had survived back then, my mother would not have..."

Qingyun felt that she was too sad, so she changed the topic: "I heard you said the dealer's population, and I found that there are not many men in their family, but there are quite a lot of girls."

Daiyu sighed: "My sister must have discovered it too. Their family has women first and then men. I heard my father mention that although the Zhuang family does not accept concubines, they have always had many children, but there are more women than men. Poetry Xiang and his generation, in fact, there was not only one male per house at the beginning, but some died before they were born, and some were not raised after birth. Shi Ya's mother was not the original spouse, the wife of the third-bedroom master's original spouse was in the house. When the Zhuang family was imprisoned, he happened to be pregnant, which frightened the middle-aged and the middle-aged, and the adults couldn’t keep it. At that time, Da Fang had a brother, who was only one or two years old, and a high fever didn’t subside, and he died, and there was no sequence at all.”

The words became more and more heavy, and since Daiyu was tired after going out for a day, Qingyun urged her to go back and rest.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the Zhuang family came to announce the good news. Zhuang Pei, the eldest master of the Zhuang family, was promoted to the imperial envoy of Zuoqin Capital of the fourth rank.

The promotion of the eldest master of the Zhuang family is not a big deal, the key is the reinstatement of the second master's official position, and it is an honor for the emperor to make a special decree in his heart!What a grace!For a while, those who knew and didn't know in Beijing were all inquiring about the banker's affairs. Many people went to give gifts and congratulations, and even posted a post early to invite New Year's wine.Apart from announcing the good news to a few close family members, the dealer did not set up wine to congratulate, and prepared similar gifts in return for the gifts sent by each family, which did not mean to be close to others at all.Now, in the eyes of everyone in the capital, the Zhuang family is not what it used to be, so seeing that they are so ignorant, they give up.

After seeing off all the guests, the two brothers of the Zhuang family were sitting in the study, with Zhuang Li standing beside them, and there was a list of gifts on the table. It was the family that came to congratulate them today.The voices of the three people are different from the past, precisely because of this gift list, and because the gift list comes from Jingjun Prince's Mansion.

Today King Jingjun came to congratulate him in person, and even called "Uncle" to the Zhuang family brothers. Not to mention the second master Zhuang Cheng, even the eldest master Zhuang Pei, who has always been calm, moody and angry, all changed his face.

"Mingjing, tell me." Zhuang Pei asked his son.

Zhuang Mingjing knew about his family's past for a long time. When he learned that he was going back to Beijing, he thought about these intricate relationships. He also knew that his father was going to test himself, so he said: "Although our eldest aunt was the princess of the year, but she was born when the prince did something bad. He had died of illness before, and the crown prince was deposed, so our family has nothing to do with King Jingjun. If King Jingjun valued his uncle and nephew, it would be fine to walk around during the normal festivals. It's just that monarchs and ministers are different. King Jingjun's status is precious. But the family cannot cross the boundary between the ruler and his ministers, lest he be criticized by others."

Zhuang Pei nodded and sighed: "I hope King Jingjun will not follow in the footsteps of his ancestors."

Zhuang Chengdao: "Now the Holy Majesty Long En, we just need to be loyal to His Majesty and do our own things well. Your Majesty is clear and benevolent, everything is in your hands, and we don't need to worry too much."

"The Supreme Emperor is still here, and the Holy Majesty is also hindered. Our family is indeed in an embarrassing situation." Zhuang Pei was a little more worried. Although this return to Beijing is for today's decree, it is not sure who it came from.I wish it was today.
