The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

The Wanshou Festival will last for three days. On the second day, Shi Shi reported illness. No one suspected anything. The day before, everyone found that Shi Shi’s situation was not right. Looking at Jia Daishan, it is obvious that his expression is not good. I feel that Shi Shi and Jia Daishan probably can't accept the facts, it's okay if they don't have a good vision, they don't have a good heart, and they don't know the general situation.On such an occasion as Longevity Day, even if you are dying, it is best to find a way to prolong your life for a few more days, so as not to make the saint feel unlucky.Even if you are so angry that you want to vomit blood, you still have to swallow that mouthful of blood, and still smile and come over to wish the saint his birthday.What does it mean to be sick, to have resentment, to be dissatisfied with the will of the sage?

Jia Daishan also knew that he was suffering, if it wasn't for Shi Shi who was like a madman, he didn't want to make such a bad plan, thinking of what Shi Shi said yesterday, Jia Daishan only felt chills.Jia Daishan himself is not a sentimental person, but Shi's ruthlessness, even Jia Daishan, who has gone through wars and seen countless lives and deaths, also feels chills in his heart.Thinking about Jia pardoning Jia Zheng, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The reason why Shi seemed to love Jia Zheng was that, in a sense, the mother and son were the most similar.

Fortunately, Shi is a female family member, and the saint will not care whether a female family member will come. As for the queen, even if he wants to tell the saint, he has to wait until after the Longevity Festival. Therefore, Jia Daishan is not too worried, but Something embarrassing happened to him, and Jia Amnesty also came.

Jia She was conferred the title of viscount yesterday. Although he didn't have any titles, he already had the qualifications to go to court. Therefore, a person from the Ministry of Rites came to the door to announce the decree. Today, Jia She is wearing The dress came over to celebrate her birthday, and in addition to the previous birthday gift, another birthday gift was presented.

It's autumn now, and it's the time when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. This year, chrysanthemums don't have the meaning that people tend to think about in later generations. Chrysanthemums have the meaning of longevity. Jia She simply grafted the two plants he grafted in the first year to " It's a thousand purples and reds."These two chrysanthemums were originally very tall, with flower branches of various colors grafted on them. Jia She used a unique method to catalyze them before, and after a little pruning, dozens of chrysanthemums bloomed on the top of the chrysanthemum. The flowers have different colors and postures, but there is no sense of clutter. They only make people feel exquisite and cute, and give birth to yearning hearts.These so-called secluded flowers blossomed enthusiastically under Jia She's hands.

The sage is also a person who likes elegance, seeing these two pots of "variety of purples and reds", he couldn't help but feel very happy, and the officials also rushed to flatter him, making the sage laugh from ear to ear.

After drinking for three rounds, people from the Jiaofang Division came up to perform, and it was very enjoyable. It is impossible for a saint to ask his officials to accompany him all the time. Even if he is a birthday star, he will be tired if he always sits on top and listens to compliments and toasts Therefore, he ordered the officials to take care of themselves without restraint, but the sage himself left the table for the time being.

Once the sage left, everyone felt at ease, they didn't have to stay in their seats, they could drink and talk with acquaintances, and suddenly, the whole hall was more than twice as lively.

Now Jia Amnesty is barely regarded as the upstart of the imperial court. The words of this person in front of the imperial court have been faintly spread, but he is a person who has no desire for power. According to ordinary people's thinking, this person is just a lucky minister, and he can't be a powerful minister. If you associate with such a person, you don't have to worry about standing in line and party disputes. What's more, Jia She knows a thing or two about everything, and you can talk to him about anything. The words made all the ministers gasp in amazement, and they couldn't help but sneer at the rumors spread by the Jia family. It seems that the lady of the Jia family really did everything in order to suppress the eldest son. There are many people who have a wide range of miscellaneous studies, and their words are not vulgar. Although they can't be eloquent, they still have something to say. No wonder Zhang Taifu was willing to marry his granddaughter to him. He really is not a layman.

Jia She got along with quite a few people, some of them were lovers of flowers and birds, Jia She has become a well-known master in the capital for growing flowers in the past few years, even people from the south of the Yangtze River came all the way here just to get to Jia She. There is a lot of knowledge in She's garden, they were not familiar with Jia She before, and now they can be regarded as officials of the same dynasty, it is not shameful to ask for advice, so one by one they came together again, and someone asked about it How did the "Violet of Purples and Reds" be cultivated?

Jia Amnesty didn't hide it either. Although he had never encountered these things in modern times, it couldn't be easier to know something at that time. In primary and middle schools, apart from biology classes, the school also held After taking the so-called labor skills class, there is naturally some basic agricultural knowledge in it, such as pressing branches, grafting, etc., I know a thing or two.When it came to Datang, there were many people who studied various arts in the Valley of Thousand Flowers. As long as he started with them, someone would naturally put it into practice. Jia She followed, and even a fool could learn it.

At this moment, Jia She explained the various methods in detail to a group of colleagues, and the talk was in full swing. The seventh prince Tu Mingyun also came over and listened with great interest. Now that he is thinking about it, naturally he will not Before, he put on a thought of wanting to be the king of idleness, but he also started to do some practical things. He is not a mediocre man, and he has capable people under his command. Therefore, he pretended to be filial to the saint and share his worries. He has made some achievements, and won a lot of praise from the saints in the court.

The Seventh Prince came out at this moment, and those courtiers didn't shy away from it. If he really pulled away and left, it would be conspicuous, so he only talked about some elegant things about flowers and birds, and didn't involve other things.

And Jia Daishan sat in the circle of a group of founding dignitaries, drinking glass after glass, talking to these old friends, watching Jia Amnesty's bustling scene, thinking of the Shi family who was under house arrest in the backyard at home. , and Jia Zheng, who has been doing poetry and literature meetings with a group of students from the Imperial College recently in his own courtyard, just feels depressed.

Jia Daihua watched from the side, sighing inwardly, he coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's have a drink!" As he spoke, he lifted the jug and filled Jia Daishan's cup, and poured a cup himself. , raised his glass to Jia Daishan, Jia Daishan came back to his senses all of a sudden, with a smile on his face, the smile was ugly, he raised his glass: "Come on, brother, toast!"

Jia Daihua just took a sip, he is old now, and his health is not as good as before. Although he likes what is in the glass, he dare not drink too much. Now holding the wine glass, he said in a manly voice: "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings. , our two brothers are not too young, and after a few years, our children and grandchildren will ruin the family business, and we will not see it. If we don’t see it, why bother, we haven’t seen anything in the first half of our life. , When you get old, you just enjoy the happiness, eat what you want to eat, play with what you have fun, and don't need to worry about other things!"

Jia Daishan was taken aback for a moment, and smiled wryly in his heart, but he still relaxed, and drank it down in one gulp.
