[Red House] Lixian

Jia Amnesty returns to the old residence in Jinling to clean up the ancestral grave.Although the annual ancestor worship can be held in Chang'an, the ancestral grave is in the hometown, and several people still need to come back every year to take care of it.

Jia Amnesty is the serious heir, if he doesn't come, is it possible that Jia Zheng should come?

Checking the affairs in the old house, and secretly ordering people to pay attention to the situation in the Weifu.

However, Wei Mansion was held down by Wei Qianqiang, and the door was locked tightly from the beginning to prevent any news from spreading.It wasn't until Huang Yuan came to the door in person that Wei Yan asked for help in finding Huang Bao's whereabouts.

It's a pity that Huang Bao walked fast and didn't know the direction.After searching around in Jinling, there was no trace of Huang Bao.It can only be said that he was taken away by a fairy and went to practice Taoism and become a fairy.

To outsiders, it is just rumors and anecdotes that neighbors love to talk about, and some people boast that "the queen mother and the golden boy are reincarnated".But it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the parties involved in the Huangfu and Weifu.

Huang Yuan and his wife had only one child, and it was not easy to find a child back then. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen now?In the future, incense and sacrifices will become a problem!

As for the Wei Mansion, the marriage contract was just made a month ago, and a moth immediately appeared.Originally, the Wei Mansion's plan was to use the Marriage Alliance for the time being, and wait until the matter of Wei Yan's promotion was settled.Whether it's a real marriage at that time or trying to stir up a yellow marriage contract to marry Jinlan, we can talk about it after the horoscope is correct.

At that time, as long as the two families settled in harmony, no one else could say anything.

But now?

After hearing about this, Mrs. Wei was so angry that she couldn't get out of bed.My own little calculations at the beginning were in vain, because people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Who would have thought that Huang Bao would put down the burden?

"I didn't agree with this marriage at the beginning, look at what's happening now, are you really going to let our daughter be a widow?" There was another dispute in the Weifu study, but Wei Qian had already ordered someone to seal the door, not allowing anyone to go out easily , so the family ugliness is not publicized.

Wei Qian was in her room, playing with the jewelry Jia She sent.

Those two chicken blood stones were indeed of the highest quality, so it was no wonder that Jia Lian, who was used to seeing beautiful jade and treasures, wanted to ask for them.

The bloodstone is delicate and smooth, with a pure color, Wei Qian looked at it for a while, and felt quite fond of it.After careful consideration, he accepted one piece, wrapped the other in a handkerchief and handed it to Hongchun: "I think this bloodstone is heavy, so I went back to find a craftsman to carve this bloodstone into two jade medals and give them to my father and Huang." uncle."

"Miss!" Hong Chun said angrily, "Miss, after such a big event, do you still have the mind to give presents to Master and Master Huang?"

"Of course I have to send it, and the work must be completed as soon as possible." Wei Qian ordered Huang Yang to bring her small box.

Wei's mansion was not short of money. Although Wei Yan didn't know how to run a business, Jia Mei was still there. When they married, Jia Daishan and Jia She also took the two shops in their hometown in Jinling as their dowry.Although the Wei Mansion is not as luxurious as those big families, it has never been harsh on Wei Qian, a daughter of the first daughter.

Huang Yang opened the cabinet, and there were several wooden boxes inside, which were Wei Qian's family savings.Over the past few years, every time Jia Amnesty visited, he would receive a generous gift.

Wei Qian understood that this was Jia Amnesty's thanks to Jia Mei for her help, and she gave it to Jia Mei in the name of giving it to her niece.But Jia Mei was not short of money, so she ordered Wei Qian to keep it as a dowry for the future.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty prepared various kinds of jade calligraphy and paintings for the second time, in the name of helping the niece add the dowry.

Of those boxes, one holds jade jewelry, the other holds gold and silver beads and hairpins, and the other holds gold and silver ingots.

Taking the ingot box, Wei Qian saw the lock on it, and took the key to open it herself.

Inside were eight gold and silver ingots, as well as gold and silver melon seeds. As for the copper coins used outside, there was not a single one.Small things such as copper coins are kept in a kit, which is handed over to Hongchun and Huangyang to buy.

"With this money alone, if I elope, I can spend the rest of my life in peace."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Yang's expression tightened, and he subconsciously held the box, not daring to answer.

"Don't worry, that's what I said." Wei Qian took two silver ingots casually.

"I've lived in a deep boudoir for a long time, and I don't know the price outside. Tell me, how much money does it cost to hire someone to carve a seal?"

"This..." Huang Yang and Hong Chun looked at each other and shook their heads.As personal maids, how could they know what Wei Qian didn't know?

Wei Qian calculated silently, and said to Huang Yang: "You take these two silver ingots to your grandfather, and ask him to run for me, and print the two seals within three days, I will use it."

Huang Yang didn't say much, wrapped the silver ingot with a handkerchief silently, picked up the bloodstone and left the courtyard.

"Miss, are you not afraid that she will profit from it?" Hong Chun asked in a low voice after Huang Yang left.

"Do you think this matter can be concealed? My mother and the others will definitely stop me halfway. If they ask what happened and watch it secretly, I believe there will be no major mistakes. As for the deduction... I still hope that Huang Yang and his father will withhold my money. , it will be good to send them off at that time."

Seeing his young lady's face, Hong Chun shuddered.Huang Yang has served Wei Qian for many years, and it can be regarded as hard work, but after all, he is not Wei Qian's confidant, and he needs to consider the chance of Huang Yang tipping off the letter when doing things.Therefore, it is best to change to your confidant early.

It didn't take long for Wei Qian to act here, and Mrs. Wei and Jia Mei and his wife both received reports.

Is there anyone who knows more about the situation in the Wei Mansion than they do?

So, Mrs. Wei summoned all three of them to her side.

When Madam Wei heard the news about Huang Bao cultivating Taoism, she immediately became ill with anger.Lying on the bed with a towel on his head, he said weakly, "Tell me, how are you going to solve this situation?"

"Of course it's broken!" Jia Mei said without hesitation, "Huang Bao's family is gone, and we want our daughter to marry and be a widow?"

"Mother, my daughter is going to marry!" Wei Qian said suddenly, and her clear and loud voice replied Jia Mei's words.

"What!" Jia Mei was a little unsteady again. She was restless these days, and her fetus was gasping again. The doctor told her to give birth well, so don't worry too much.But Wei Qian, can she ignore it?

Even Wei Yan frowned and said: "I prepared the marriage for my father that day. Although it was because of the connections and influence of the Huang family, it was also for your consideration. Huang Yuan's official salary is prosperous, and there will be a day in the future when he enters the imperial court. Under the protection of my father, the road to the imperial examination will jump through the dragon gate, and then you will also be able to be an imperial wife."

The current system is modeled after the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it is not seen that Chang'an is now the capital, and the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty is also used.This world is similar but different from Wei Qian's previous life.In a certain year in the Tang Dynasty, there was no Song Dynasty after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Daming Palace was not too damaged.Later, after several dynasties, it rose up in great chaos, established the country after the chaos, and rebuilt the Daming Palace as the imperial palace, which is the core of Longting.

And Mrs. Gaoming is from "Tang Dian", which is divided into five classes.Mrs. Guo, Mrs. County, Junjun, County Monarch, Township Monarch, the so-called County Monarch is the five-rank edict, which is the imperial edict of Jia Mei and Mrs. Wei.If Huang Bao worked hard in the future, with the help of Wei Yan and Huang Yuan, his official career would be smoother, and he might be able to give Wei Qian the order of a first-rank lady.

Wei Yan is a rough martial artist, he doesn't like romance, and he doesn't let Wei Qian learn those useless things.As long as she has some cooking and embroidery skills and knows how to deal with housekeepers, she is only allowed to learn "Woman's Commandment" and "Women's Virtue". If Wei Qian hadn't brought up this piano skill at the beginning of the marriage, it would not be easy to convince Wei Yan.

Wei Yan put his hands behind his back and paced in the hall: "Now that Huang Bao is gone, let's not talk about the engagement. As for our alliance, if they want to bite back, I'm not afraid of them."

Wei Qian shook her head when she heard this, "Daughter often hears that a gentleman does not stand without faith. Now that father has made a marriage contract with the Huang family, how can he easily go back on his word?"

"A gentleman promises a thousand gold, no matter what his father thought back then, now that he has spoken and spread it all over the city, if he retracts his words, regardless of his father's future, it will be difficult for his daughter to find a husband's family in the future. It is better to take this opportunity to continue to maintain this marriage contract , As for the future, my daughter has her own plans."

Seemingly finding it hard to convince, Wei Qian said again: "Then why didn't Huang Bao leave sooner or later, but at the time when father and Uncle Huang were about to be transferred to Gao Sheng?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Yan couldn't help thinking about conspiracy theories.If those opponents in the officialdom deliberately take the opportunity to make trouble, they want to confuse them.

"Okay! Since you want to get married, you don't want to be that villain for your father." Wei Yan said, "At worst, try to get the Huang Mansion to annul the engagement in a few years." Thinking about Wei Qian's seal carving, why not? Knowing that my daughter had already made plans, she was not prepared to discuss it with them at all?

……

Three days later, the rumors all over the city gradually dissipated, and the Wei Mansion finally reopened its doors after closing their doors for many days.Several sedan chairs stopped at the door, Wei Yan rode a horse, and Jia Mei and her daughter got into the sedan chair and headed for Huangfu together.

The other families found out about this big news one after another, gloating over others' misfortune and watching Weifu's actions.

"It's a quarrel, it's a quarrel! Once the Wei Mansion regrets the marriage, he will provoke one or two from it. Hey, who is the position of the Ranger General?" This is the thinking of those military officers who have the same goal as Wei Yan .

And those civil servants thought more: "Two birds with one stone, not to mention the two houses in one breath, and it also made Jia Daishan's line and Mr. Zhang's line have a quarrel. Both sides are neutral and do not support any of them." Prince, is there any secret behind this?"

Naturally, it makes people think that there is a bigger conspiracy behind Huang Bao's departure.

"The daughter of the Wei Mansion is at least the granddaughter of Rong Guogong. The four major families are connected with each other. Now that Lord Jia is also preparing to worship the ancestors in Jinling, he must favor the Wei Mansion." Wang Zisheng thought about it, and discussed with Wang Ziteng: "It involves The Jia family, it must not be his old relatives, the Zhen family, and the Fifth Prince's lineage, could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that Rong Guogong is ignorant and wants to punish him?"

Jia Daishan was in charge of the defense of the capital. Although the military power was handed over, he was even more favored today.Even though the prince had won over several times, Jia Daishan did not vote for the prince's camp.

Wang Ziteng shook his head: "The crown prince has become more and more arrogant these years. Duke Rong is in charge of the defense of the capital, so how can he take refuge in any camp? Will His Majesty allow the capital to be handed over to others? The Tian family has no family affection, even his own son can't trust it. "

Jia Daishan can't get close to any prince, not even the prince.Knowing that he would offend the prince, he couldn't let go.And this situation naturally made Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng think differently. They respected the prince on the surface, but in fact they were ready to vote for someone else.

All parties have ghosts in their hearts, and people from Weifu came to Huangfu from the official way.

Huang Mansion was full of gloomy clouds and mist.

Huang Baosi's disappearance of Immortal Dao for no reason was a great blow to Mrs. Huang, even Huang Yuan seemed to be ten years older.

"At this point, there is no one to pass on the incense, how can we be worthy of our ancestors in the future?" Huang Yuan smiled wryly, when he heard someone from the Wei Mansion, he sighed, "Forget it, it should have come long ago."

"Huang Bao, a rebellious son, left home, Wei Yan loves his daughter, so why would he let her come to our Huang residence to suffer?" Huang Yuan wanted to understand, and ordered people from Wei residence to be invited.

But when he saw Wei Yan and his wife brought Wei Qian along, he was taken aback.

The girl Jiao Didi stepped forward, without any hesitation, and directly saluted Huang Yuan: "My niece has met my uncle." As she spoke, she was given a gift.In addition to the bloodstone seal given to Huang Yuan, there is also the five-color black gold phoenix hairpin she carefully selected from her jewelry box.

Literati love seals, and Huang Yuan couldn't take his eyes off the chicken blood stone immediately after seeing it.Then Wei Qian opened the gift for Mrs. Huang again.

Huang Yuan reluctantly looked away, and ordered his wife to come over.At the same time, he said: "My family is sorry for Brother Wei. If you want to dissolve the engagement, you only need to return the token. Why do you have to do that?"

"Disengagement?" Wei Yan pretended to be surprised: "Why did Brother Huang say that? Since Qian'er has made a marriage contract with Young Master Ling, she is a member of the Huang Mansion. In the future, when Qian'er comes out of the cabinet, she can marry into the Huang Mansion." .”

"Not lifted?" Mrs. Huang came out, also shocked: "Huang Bao's son ran away from home, your house is really planning to let Qian girl come to us?"

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Brother Huang and I are inseparable friends, will the old man still treat my girl poorly?"

Wei Qian leaned forward and said in a soft voice: "My niece doesn't know much, but since the marriage contract is here, she will marry into the Huang Mansion to serve her father and mother in the future and wait for the return of Huang's elder brother. If there is really bad news in the future, you can also use a ghost wedding as a salute. .”

Seeing the father and daughter talking, Jia Mei stepped forward to hold Mrs. Huang: "Sister and Master Huang have lost their son in middle age. If there is a son who will respect you in the future, brother Yan and I can be at ease."

Wei Yan and his wife stepped forward to make connections, throwing out all kinds of obedient words as if they didn't want money, which made Huang Yuan and his wife dizzy.The two were greatly moved. Mrs. Huang took Wei Qian's hand and promised: "Since my sister can be trusted, I will treat Qian'er like my own daughter in the future and will not allow others to bully her!"

When the matter came to an end, Wei Yan directly made a decision: "Go back and clean up the house today, and let Qian'er move to Huang's Mansion tomorrow, so as to comfort my sister-in-law."

After all, he was a military officer, and he acted neatly, so he immediately asked Wei Qian to go back and pack his things.

After the Wei family left, Huang Yuan and his wife looked at each other.

Mrs. Huang let out a long sigh: "No matter what, the Wei Mansion has made it this far, husband, there are some things you need to work hard on."

"That's right, no matter if it's false or false, if you do this step to give yourself enough face, I should think about how to repay it."
