Mrs. Lin opened the box and saw that it was a dowry, and said with a smile: "Why do you send such a thing, the dowry is a woman's dowry, and it should be prepared by the woman, even if you are in a hurry to get married, you shouldn't use this." ”

"Mother. Lin Ruhai didn't think about it, in fact, what he wanted to give was not the makeup, but a set of green jade head noodles made by him in the makeup, which was made by him for nearly a month to learn from his teacher. Although the workmanship is certainly not as good as the master's craftsmanship, it is a part of his heart.

Mrs. Lin looked at the black lacquer painted golden rosewood makeup, the wood is a precious yellow rosewood, the style is also popular in Beijing, and the workmanship is also out of everyone's hands, I wanted to open it to see inside, but the makeup has been locked up with a delicate small silver lock, Mrs. Lin picked up the makeup and turned it upside down, her face smiled, what her son really wanted to give to Miss Jia had been locked in the makeup, although she was a little curious, just to take care of her son's face, she had to think that she didn't know.

On Jia Min's birthday, just in time for the dynasty, Jia Daishan didn't sleep well all night because of the matter of the five princes, and got up early the next day and went to the palace in a carriage, before leaving, Jia Daishan came to specially bring the box that Jia Yu brought back yesterday, no matter what, this thing must not stay in Rongguo Mansion, he thought about it, this thing can not be returned directly to the five princes, and can not be handed to the saint. In the end, he had to think about returning the things to the five princes through the prince, the prince and the five princes in the palace were the most friendly, if the prince could persuade a few words on the side, the five princes would also listen to it.

There is no major event in the court, it is the autumn harvest, the sage just asked about the taxes of the household department, the court has to tax the people every year, the people in order to pay taxes, every day of hard work can only be nonsense, this is still a year of good weather will be so, if it suffers a disaster, whether it can survive or a problem. And the annual tax of the imperial court can only receive five or six tenths, and this year it only receives forty percent, which makes Emperor Kangqing furious, and a few household officials, the battle of the northwest has cost a lot of money to the treasury, and this year the wind and rain are smooth, there is no major disaster, Emperor Kangqing wanted to use taxes to make up for the loss of the battle in the northwest, but never expected that this tax is not as good as this year, this year's collection is not more than last year, last year Jiangnan and the northeast have suffered a catastrophe. The officials below were all cautious when the saint was angry, afraid of burning this fire on themselves. After an hour of trembling, I finally survived until the next dynasty.

Jia Daishan often walked a little slower when he went down to the court, and even those frail civil officials walked out of the palace gate, but he came to rub in the palace, but fortunately, he still let him wait for the prince. The prince was very surprised when he saw Jia Daishan, and he looked like he was waiting for him because he was busy, although he had some doubts, he walked forward, and opened the door to make his debut: "Rong Guogong, but is there something?"

Jia Daishan actually has a good impression of the prince, the prince is generous and benevolent, and he is also reasonable and restrained in handling court affairs, quite like the style of a saint when he was young, and he can also become a contemporary Ming Jun in the future, which was taught by a saint. Jia Dai saluted and said, "The minister has seen the prince. ”

"Rong Guogong, no courtesy. ”

"The old minister has something he wants to trouble the prince. Jia Daishan took out the brocade box and handed it to the prince, "I hope the prince told the five princes that the old minister thanked the five princes for their intentions, but the old minister and Jia Jiafu couldn't bear this gift, so please don't blame the five princes." ”

The prince saw Jia Daishan take out the brocade box and had a bad intuition, the brocade box was out to see the palace when he saw it, and he heard him put forward the fifth brother, what else did he not understand, but the fifth brother had obviously thought about letting go, but he did such a rude thing, if it was known by someone with a heart, the royal family, Rongguo Mansion and the Lin family were afraid that they would set off a storm, and Miss Jia was the first to bear the brunt, and the fifth brother was also good enough to win the infamy of a wife, and his virtue was at a loss. If a prince loses virtue, what will happen is self-evident. The father can't hide this matter, although there are only him and Rong Guogong and the palace people around him, but secretly there are still some people who know, what is missing in the palace is not eyes, I am afraid that his words with Rong Guogong have already been transmitted to the Heart Cultivation Hall word for word. The crown prince apologized: "The imperial brother is too rude, and I ask Rong Guogong for forgiving me for the offense." ”

"The old minister didn't dare, but the fifth prince still invited the prince to .........." Jia Daishan didn't finish speaking, thinking that with the prince's intelligence, he also knew what he was going to say. After handing the brocade box to the palace people beside the prince, the palace people nodded before taking it, Jia Daishan saw that the matter had been resolved, so he bowed and said: "The old minister does not disturb the prince, so he will leave now." ”

"Rong Guogong, please. The prince said with a wry smile, that Jia Daishan looked respectful and polite when he spoke, and faintly revealed a trace of dissatisfaction with the fifth brother, if it weren't for the fifth brother being the prince, then Jia Daishan would have called the door a long time ago, "Go, go to the Heart Cultivation Palace." "It is also necessary to teach the fifth brother a lesson, so that he can know the severity.

In the Rongguo Mansion, the people invited by Jia Min also came, and the gifts given by each family were very valuable, compared to the gifts of Sun Yiyao who were not too eye-catching, in addition to their own hearts, the parents of the house also prepared rich gifts for them to bring together.

Konoha falls. Grass is a salary. Moss wilts. Lu Shidi. Towards the bacterios. The flowers are hidden.

Due to the cold weather, Jia Min's reception is located in Qingya Courtyard, which is a small courtyard with three upper rooms, Jia Min's bedroom on the right, and the study room on the left. There are three wings on the left and right of the upper room, one is Jia Min's small storeroom, and there is a small kitchen, which is usually used to boil hot water and make some snacks. The other rooms are for the girl's grandmother. Everyone came to Qingya Courtyard, some flower pots were placed in the yard are some seasonal flowers, and the furniture of yellow rosewood is all in the eyes of the house, the texture of yellow rosewood is clear, like flowing clouds and water, very beautiful. And those furniture are all Suzhou and Hangzhou style, Jiangnan style, which is different from the gorgeous atmosphere in Beijing and is more fresh and elegant. Everything in Qingya Courtyard shows Rong Guogong's pampering and love for Jia Min.

Several girls are from the families of powerful people in Beijing, and they are not the people who have no knowledge, and the family also loves them, but when they see Jia Min's residence, although they are not gorgeous and gorgeous with gold and jade decorations, that set of furniture is not something that ordinary people can use, not to mention the hanging calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings and the furnishings in the house are afraid that it is difficult to buy. Seeing that the main hall went to the study again, a girl wearing a moonlight embroidered folded branch orchid skirt covered with pink embroidered orchids and a long cloud brocade gown said: "Sister Min, your house is very beautiful, I thought my house was taken care of by me quite well, but compared to you, it is really unsightly, it is very cheesy." When you go to my house one day, you can ask me to improve it. ”

Jia Min nodded her head amusedly and said, "If you say this, you are not afraid that Mrs. Chen Hou will be sad, but she has spent twelve minutes to take care of you." "This girl is the granddaughter of Chen Yi, the only son-in-law of Qi Guogong after the death of the Marquis, she is the only daughter in the Chen family and Jia Min in the Jia family, she is the only daughter in the family, and it is the daughter of Chen Hou, and the brother of the same mother is more than ten years old, in the Chen family, not only Chen Hou and his wife are very pampered to her, even the eldest brother and sister-in-law also treat this sister as a daughter, and the courtyard where she lives Jia Min has also been to although it is more elegant than the Qingya Courtyard, it is another kind of gorgeous.

Chen Xuan spit out her fragrant tongue and said, "Mother won't talk about me for this?"

"Sister Min, what kind of incense is smoked in your house, it smells so good. "Although Niu Yu has been to Rongguo Mansion for a few times, but it is the first time to go to Jia Min's yard, this time Jia Min's mother is not ready to let her come, the family is giving her a kiss, Mrs. Niu will take a fancy to a few families, but that is because they are not the Niu family's room, they can't attack Hou Hou in the future, and they are not too willing to marry, Niu Second Mrs. Niu knew that Hou Sheng was so angry that she didn't get out of bed for a few days, and finally she found the aunt of Zhenguo Mansion, Concubine Bei Jing, and wanted her to help say that it was not a good family. She is Niu Yu's granddaughter as the granddaughter of Zhenguo Gong and the niece of Concubine Beijing, so her background is also good, and there is an endless stream of people who come to Zhenguo Mansion to ask for relatives, but Mrs. Niu can't look down on her, and she doesn't look down on her.

In the end, it was the idea of the concubine of Beijing, and she would find a good jinshi after the test tomorrow, and then the town and the palace of Beijing County would help to find an errand, and it was also a fate for Niu Yu to marry, which was better than marrying the children of those powerful families who had no interest. Second Mrs. Niu was unwilling, Concubine Beijing directly found Second Master Niu and said this, Second Master Niu was a little hesitant, Concubine Beijing said bluntly: "Second brother, don't have a high vision, the second sister-in-law is a person who can't see the situation clearly, Baba's trustee came to say kiss, and he wasn't slapped in the face." Speaking of which, my sister is also my niece, how can I, as an aunt, not want her to be good? But this is also a family member who must first see his own family background, and now that his father is here, the second brother can still occupy the name of the town and the country, but in the future, the family will be separated, and the second brother will only be an official from the fourth grade, so what can this be considered in the capital? It is better to marry low than to climb high, and the concubine will have the confidence to go to her mother-in-law's house in the future, and her mother-in-law will not dare to look down on her. After speaking, he handed some of the information collected by King Beijing to the king of Beijing who has not yet said that he will take the exam next year and handed it to Master Niu Er, "These are the materials collected by Wang Er to participate in the examination next year to try some good lifts, the one called Chu Muyan, Wang Er is very optimistic about him, he will be able to go to high school next year, although he is in his early twenties, but because of the study tour and the imperial examination, he delayed his family, although the Chu family is not a powerful family, but it is not a poor family, and his ancestors have also been high-ranking officials in the previous dynasty." The other ones are also good, you can let people visit first, if you are satisfied, it is also good. ”

The second master Niu flipped through it, looked at those people, and remembered what his wife usually said, plus what his sister said just now, he didn't know what to do for a while, his sister and wife are both for the good of his daughter, but who is really good?

Concubine Beijing saw that his face was embarrassed, and sighed, the second brother is good at everything, but he is too unassertive in trouble, fortunately, the second brother is the second son, and he does not need to inherit the Zhenguo Mansion, otherwise this Zhenguo Gong is really afraid that he will be Mo Luo," Second brother, don't be embarrassed, take these back and discuss with the second sister-in-law, and then give my words to the second sister-in-law and say, if you really love the concubine, you will know what kind of family to choose for her, that is, Rong Guogong chose the Lin family for Miss Jia, speaking of which, the Lin family is also the Hou Mansion, but after the death of the Marquis of Jing'an, the capital of the Lin family is not a powerful family, and the Rong Guogong is not the same as marrying the Lin family, second brother, you still have to think about it, after all, this is about the life of the concubine. ”

After returning home, the second master Niu discussed with the second Mrs. Niu, and the words of Concubine Beijing still played a role, the second Mrs. Niu was also a distressed daughter, plus she was slapped in the face before, so she decided to let someone go and visit a few people on the paper first, and in the end they were quite satisfied with Chu Muyan, the Chu family is also a scholarly family, and Mrs. Chu is also very kind, and if the daughter marries into the Chu family, she will not suffer from her mother-in-law. After the two were satisfied, they directly asked Concubine Beijing to send someone to understand the intention of getting married, and the Chu family was also satisfied with the Niu family, and the most important thing was that after marrying this family, there was no need to worry about the future of the son. The two families had a tacit understanding and decided to marry after the trial next year.

"It's some flowers that I usually don't collect, and I put them away after drying, and I usually put them in the house as spices. Jia Min laughed.

When the others heard this, they also sniffed, and they really smelled a faint fragrance, not as strong as the incense they usually used, but it smelled better, so they inquired about how this dried flower was made. Jia Min saw that they were all interested, so she asked the girls to take out some of the sachets she made, and Niu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up and smell them, and said in surprise: "Roses, hibiscus, peonies.......... Sister Min, what have you done so much? ”

Several other girls listened to her report one by one, and they also gathered around with interest, picked up the sachet and smelled it, and the color embroidered on the sachet was the same as the fragrance of the flowers inside, "Min'er, what a clever idea, you can see that the flowers embroidered on this sachet are the same as those flowers." Xinru said with a grin.

"Really, this is jasmine, and the sachet is embroidered with jasmine. ”

"Me too. ”

...........................................

"Okay, if you like it, choose a few sachets to go back, and it will be my return gift to you. Jia Min said.

"It's really a small vessel, it's hard to get a few dry flowers and send us away. A girl wearing a crimson embroidered ruyi pattern diagonal gown smiled, but the movements of her hands were not slower than others, for fear of being chosen by others.

After a while, the girls also chose their favorites, although Jia Min wanted to give them away, but they couldn't take more, so each person took two sachets, more would be too rude, after choosing, everyone sat down, Jia Min let people serve tea and snacks. Sun Yiyao took a sip of tea, felt that the tea was very sweet, not the same as what she usually drinks, so she opened the lid of the cup and found that the cup was not tea, but a few jasmine flowers, but it was not the same as the jasmine slices she usually drank, although it was only flowered, but there was no fragrance of tea, and asked curiously: "Miss Min, what kind of tea is this, the taste is very special!"

"This is jasmine tea, with some honey in it, how about it, does it taste good?" asked Hejing.

"It tastes good, but can roses also make tea?" He Wan nodded.

"Of course, it has long been recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that flower tea is slightly cool, sweet, enters the lungs, kidneys, and meridians, and has the effect of flattening the liver, moistening the lungs, and nourishing the skin. All kinds of flowers can be made into flower tea, as well as roses, peonies, osmanthus, and lilies can also be used to make tea, and long-term drinking will be very good for the body. Jia Min replied.

Hearing that it has the effect of nourishing the skin, the girl sitting there unconsciously drank two more sips. Inquired, "How do you make this flower tea?" ”

"This flower tea is the same as the dried flowers in the sachet just now, but the fresh petals need to be dried, but the flower tea must be eaten, washed with salt water before drying, and then dried or sun-dried with water again. Then you can use it to make tea. When you drink it, you can add some red dates or honey, it will taste better! I have quite a lot here, you can take it back and drink it first!"

"Min'er, you know so much. Xinru said admiringly.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's all I saw from the book, and I asked the girls to do it according to the record in the book when I was curious. Jia Min smiled and understood.

Sun Yiyao thought that she had just seen the bookshelves in Jia Min's study without a window, and she also flipped through a few books, in addition to some of the girl's favorite poetry collections, piano and chess scores, there were also some miscellaneous books such as travelogues, medical books, geography, and recipes, which were really varied. Then he said, "Miss Jia, have you read all the books in the study?"

"That's not it, I can't finish reading so many books, most of those books are given to me by my brother from outside, and I also read them and flipped them if I liked them. Jia Min replied with a smile, in fact, since she came back from this life, she mostly read some miscellaneous books such as travelogues.

"I see, I just flipped through those books, and there are so many types. If Miss Jia has seen it all, it is really admirable. Sun Yiyao smiled.

Jia Min saw that she smiled a little bitterly, thinking that she didn't look so happy, the sachet just now also chose two casually, which was a little different from others, everything was very indifferent to her, in fact, Jia Min didn't know Sun Yiyao very well, but she knew that although she became a queen in her previous life, she was only indifferent to the Sun family, and she never fought in the harem, just to be a qualified queen, more like they were seeking her own government. In her previous life, she and Sun Yiyao had spoken once in only one communication, when she had married into the Lin family, and Sun Yiyao had also become the fifth princess, but that time Sun Yiyao came to finish talking to her, and what she said was right and wrong, vague, as if she was probing something, which made her very confused. After speaking, a trace of pity and mockery flashed in her eyes, and she looked at her for a long time before leaving. It's just that she and Sun Yiyao never met again afterwards, and gradually forgot about it.

Jia Min thought about it again, now that it is October, the marriage between Sun Yiyao and the fifth prince will be soon. Then he smiled and said: "Miss Sun hasn't seen my sister-in-law for a long time, my sister-in-law has always wanted to see you, but she has never been available, and I took the liberty to invite you here today to let my sister-in-law talk to you." ”

"Then thank you Miss Jia for your kindness. Hearing this, Sun Yiyao's heart calmed down a little, and as she guessed, Jia Min invited her because of Zhang Qiong. 166 Reading Network
