Wang Shun suggested that everyone should store the things they bought in the silk shop first, and everyone walked all the way over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A street at the entrance of the Xuanmiaoguan is really lively. There are monkey puppeteers, fire-breathers, entertainers and jugglers, as well as shadow puppet puppeteers, dioramas and so on. Baoyu and Wang Shun, who was with a small servant, were by Daiyu's side, watching as they walked. Zijuan, Qingwen, and Qiuwen are all very happy, talking and laughing from time to time, pointing and pointing.

Baoyu and Daiyu chose a clean porridge shop and sat down, asked for two bowls of sugar porridge, and looked at the lively scene in front of the audience. Zijuan, Qingwen and Qiuwen crowded over to watch the monkeys climb the pole for a while, and watched the entertainers play with big knives, as well as fireworks and bamboo gadgets. Fortunately, the three of them remembered to act together, so they didn't get lost in the bustling crowd.

Everyone played until the evening, and then they reluctantly prepared to go back. Wang Shun hurriedly asked the little servant to drive the carriage over, and everyone returned to the Lin Mansion in the carriage together, still chattering and laughing.

Jia Zhengyi spent the whole night calculating the silver taels needed for the relocation of the building, and even ate dinner in the room, and was busy until the third watch. Jia Zheng got up early the next morning and washed up, and was busy writing and handing it over. Therefore, when the old uncle Zhong who was the gatekeeper of the Lin Mansion asked the little servant to hand in another post, Jia Zheng didn't read it, and pressed it under a pile of scrapped papers.

The prefect of Suzhou waited impatiently under the big willow tree in front of the Lin Mansion for nearly an hour, but no one came to invite him in for tea. Seeing that the sun had risen overhead, and even the pleasant spring breeze had become hot and dry, the prefect couldn't wait.

The entourage next to him saw that he was sweating and very anxious, so they persuaded him to go back to the prefect's mansion first. The prefect of Suzhou was unwilling to run empty one after another, raised his legs and walked to the door of the Lin Mansion, reached out and grabbed the knocker, thought about it, sighed, and returned to the carriage to tell the coachman to go back to the mansion.

Along the way, the prefect of Suzhou guessed in his heart that this Lord Jia must cherish his reputation and refuse to leave a reputation for befriending local officials, and he didn't want to be caught by the officials to turn a blind eye to him.

When the prefect of Suzhou returned to the mansion, he thought about it again and again, and he was unwilling to give up like this. When I was walking in the garden behind the mansion, I happened to meet the girl next to the prefect's wife, and as soon as her eyebrows furrowed, she stopped and asked, "What is your wife busy with all day?" ”

The girl was obviously very afraid of him, and was startled when she was stopped. Hearing the prefect's question, the girl didn't dare not answer, thought about it and replied: "Madame finishes reading the account every morning, sometimes she goes to the appointment of Mrs. Prefectural Order, and rests in the mansion at other times." ”

The prefect of Suzhou suddenly came up with an idea and said to the girl: "What are your wives doing now?" Ask her to come over and say I have something to do with her. ”

The girl got the word and hurriedly went to find the prefect's wife. After a while, the prefect's wife hurried over. The prefect looked the prefect's wife up and down, frowned, and instructed her: "Isn't there still a housekeeper in the house?" You don't care about these from today onwards, go and ask Miss Lin about her preferences for me, and invite her to come out to play in the next post, and coax people well for me, and you will have benefits in the future! ”

When the prefect's wife heard this, the Suzhou prefect looked her up and down, and then left the garden and went to find his concubine. Leaving the prefect's wife alone in the garden, angry and bitter, she was annoyed for a long time before she suppressed her anger, and asked people to call the entourage around the prefect to inquire about the recent movements of the prefect, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and pondered how to handle this matter well.

The entourage told the prefect's wife that the palace sent someone to build the Suzhou Academy, and gave the donor Lin Da girl a reward, and it was her own uncle, the father of the palace's virtuous concubine, who came down to preside over the matter. The prefect of Suzhou went to the dock to pick up the person but couldn't pick it up, and asked where this Lord Jia settled was the old house of this Lin girl's family. Now the prefect of Suzhou has eaten twice at the door of Lin's house, and the posts sent in have also been lost.

The prefect's wife understood that the prefect of Suzhou really had something important for her to help now, and she was finally a little happier in her heart. She asked the entourage about the preferences of this Lin girl, and the entourage shook his head and said, "I only heard that I am twelve or thirteen years old, and I can't inquire about anything else." ”

The prefect's wife frowned, thought about it, and ordered her entourage to go down and ask who else was in the Lin family. The entourage knew that this matter was also the intention of the prefect, so they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they hurriedly went down and sent someone to inquire.

Lin Daiyu didn't know that someone else had hit her with the idea in order to get close to Jia Zheng. She and Jia Baoyu took the servants and girls out to visit the night market in Suzhou for two days in a row, and during the day, they quietly dealt with some of the backlog of affairs in the account books and shops. Once I happened to hear that a nearby rouge workshop was about to wither and was about to be resold, Daiyu's heart moved, and asked the new housekeeper Wang Shun to inquire about the price and buy it with a silver ticket.

Jia Zheng couldn't take care of these little things anymore, he buried his head in the pen washing for two whole days, changed and changed the music for the palace and the household, muddied the water in the small square clear pond in the courtyard, and finally wrote the music seal, stamped it with a big seal, put it in an envelope and sealed it with fire paint, and let the little guy go to the post station to send it out urgently.

After being busy with all kinds of chores in the house and shop for two or three days in a row, Daiyu asked the new housekeeper to send silver to the Lin family's family temple, preparing to set up a land and water dojo for Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. He also asked Wang Shun to send an honest, diligent and talkative servant to the old site of the Hulu Temple to inquire about Zhen Shiyin's Yue family, where the maiden family of the Feng lady was.

The little guys in the Lin family's mansion are also busy. After another two or three days, Lin Daiyu ordered Wang Shun to prepare a gift and send it to the side branch of the Lin family, and gave it to the long room in charge of the family tree and several elderly old men and old gentlemen, explaining that they would hold a dojo for Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and that they would stay in the old house for a while in order to repair the academy.

The side branch of the Lin family has not been very quiet recently, first Lin Ruche, who was a school scholar in Beijing, wrote a letter back and told them that the only remaining noble daughter of the other branch who had always inherited the noble family donated her family property, and the palace accepted it and gave a reward, which made them speechless.

is not only distressed by the millions of taels of white snowflakes of silver, but also envious of the title of the noble lady rewarded by the palace.

Of course, in the eyes of most people in the Lin family's side branches, the county lord's reward is definitely not as affordable as millions of snowflakes of silver, even if it is also real, and he can show his face in front of the nobles in the palace, in the end, it is better to be a rich man freely with silver.

There are also complaints that donating the silver to the imperial court is better than giving it to the entire Lin family clan, at least the academy should also be repaired to the children of the Lin family. But people take their own family's silver, and the wealth and wealth of the sky are all earned by their ancestors, and they have nothing to do with the Lin family of the side branches.

Besides, over the years, the Pang Zhilin family has also taken advantage of the situation to exempt the levy from taxation because of a little blood relationship between the ancestors, and has also cultivated a few jinshi, and they have slowly become rich. Therefore, although there are those who complain and those who use big hats to oppress others, in the end they are more at a loss and their hearts are weaker.
