Chapter 15:92 Inquiry
Shang Qingyi was not alone when he came, he came with Yan Wei. When he heard Jia Lian's intention to invite him over, Shang Qingyi couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Jia Lian:
"Brother-in-law, dare you not react until now?"
If Shang Qingyi is the same as Jia Qing, he will definitely complain about the two lives, this reflection arc is a little too long.
In fact, both Shang Qingyi and Yan Wei looked at Jia Lian for a while, and after confirming that Jia Lian was not joking, they nodded solemnly.
Jia Lian's expression was broken.
At this moment, Jia Lian very much hopes that his father is also present, so that he does not have to talk to his father again. But the reality is that Jia Lian had to confirm again: "If the sister passes the assessment of the Daomen, then the sister will have to choose the Taoist partner among the teachers?" ”
Yan Wei and Shang Qingyi glanced at each other, and said solemnly: "It's not a Taoist couple, but a fellow practitioner." If Tong Yunliu passes the assessment this time, Taishang Mansion will come forward and double his seniority, and then choose a fellow practitioner for Tong Yunliu. ”
Jia Lian was dying: "Can't you not choose?" ”
"I can't."
Seeing that Jia Lian had already told the truth, the Shang family couldn't bear it.
The Shang clan had to speak: "Excuse me, this Taishang Mansion is ......"
Yan Wei said: "Everyone in the world knows Yuqing Mountain. In fact, Yuqingshan was nothing more than a stronghold of the Daomen, responsible for various matters with the world, mainly with the royal family. When he really encounters something important, Yuqingshan must also obey the command of Taishangfu. ”
Jia Lian said: "For example? ”
Yan Wei said: "Let's say the matter of Tongyunliu. Actually, in the early years. Taishang Mansion had already noticed Tongyunliu, and sent a Dao Commander to inquire about Tongyunliu. At that time, there were a number on Yuqing Mountain. ”
Jia Lian said: "Is the sister really so powerful? ”
Yan Wei replied: "It's not amazing. It's the progress of Tongyunliu that is really eye-catching. To tell the truth, although Zai Xia is also a candidate for the silver coat, in fact, this identity in Xia is actually quite watery. Back then, under the innate disease, he couldn't practice martial arts at all. But the master below happened to have the right medicine in his hand. After winning the mercy of the master and washing the muscles and marrow with miraculous medicine, the master sacrificed the Yuan Gong of Yijiazi. To lay a good foundation for the next. The elders of the family later lost a lot of skills and me, and I was able to become one of the candidates for the silver-clothed Daozi below. The Jinyi Daozi martial arts are the same as the silver-clothed Daozi martial arts, they are not quick martial arts, but Tongyunliu not only advances extremely fast, not to mention. The foundation is still very solid. It is natural that it will alarm the Taishang Mansion. ”
There was a pause. Yan Wei said again: "Actually, it's not just Tongyunliu. After that, the rest of the people who followed Tong Yunliu to learn the first form of "Jiuyang Tianjue", including the two girls who had been married in your mansion, and the girl from the Lin family, were all in the attention of the Daomen. ”
Jia Lian said: "And then? The result? ”
Yan Wei said: "Miss Lin's progress is the fastest among the three girls, but it is just the same as those Taoists in the past of the Daomen. It can't be compared with the progress of Tongyunliu. Yan Wei hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, Taishang Mansion already knows about Tongyunliu's hidden cultivation. ”
"Whew. What the? Hidden, hidden. Cultivation? Jia Lian stammered.
Yan Wei said solemnly: "Yes." Tongyunliu has been hiding his cultivation. According to Dao Ling, Tongyunliu suppressed at least half of his power. Even, some people from the Taishang Mansion said that Tongyunliu had completely learned the "Jiuyang Heavenly Formula". ”
Jia Lian and Shang looked at each other, not knowing how to answer at all.
After a long time, Jia Lian reacted, but said something that seemed unrelated: "So, my cousin, I mean Lin Yatou, will he also go to Yuqing Mountain?" ”
Yan Wei said: "Although the talent is not as good as Tong Yunliu, Miss Lin's qualifications are also excellent, at least far better." In fact, the talents of the two girls of the Lin family are quite good, and they also intend to accept these two beginners. In fact, several division commanders are also thinking about which one will introduce the two girls of the Lin family into the door wall. If it is like Tong Yunliu, who passes the assessment early and becomes a gold-clothed Taoist, then it is not very suitable for several division commanders to accept apprentices. ”
Jia Lian said: "Even they have to be included in the door wall? ”
Yan Wei nodded again.
Jia Lian couldn't reflect anymore.
From Yan Wei's words, he could hear that the qualifications of the two sisters of the Lin family were slightly better than Yan Wei, between Yan Wei's several division commanders and Yan Wei, but they were left far behind by their own sisters. Daomen didn't even let go of the Lin family sisters, let alone their own sisters.
It seems that his sister will go up the mountain for sure.
Of course, this matter of choosing a Taoist companion, no, a fellow practitioner, is also a certainty.
Looking at Jia Lian's appearance, Yan Wei and Shang Qingyi both felt very pitiful, but behind the pitifulness, they felt very ridiculous.
For so many years, he has always regarded Jia Jiu's possible choice of fellow practitioners as a joke. But it is related to the inheritance of the two veins of Daomen, Jinyi, Daozi and Yinyi, how can it be child's play?
Jia Lian sat down slightly, but looking at his soulless appearance, Shang Qingyi and Yan Wei knew that at this moment, Jia Lian's heart was no longer here, so they said to Jia Lian: "It seems that my brother-in-law is not clear about some things. It's about Sister Ling, and it's natural for her brother-in-law to be so concerned. Why don't my brother-in-law go to Ling Zun to discuss it and see what Ling Zun has to say? ”
Jia Lian hurriedly said goodbye to Shang Qingyi and Yan Wei as if he had found the backbone, and then just like burning his eyebrows, he strode out and ran, causing those little servants to run out of breath.
Looking at Jia Lian like this, Shang Qingyi also said: "It seems that my brother-in-law really doesn't know." ”
Shang also said: "Speaking of which, I was also shocked. If there is no matter of raising the seniority, I am afraid that my sister will be criticized. ”
Yan Wei said: "That's true. If it weren't for the status quo of the Jinyi Daozi lineage, if it weren't for the cultivation of Tongyunliu that attracted the attention of the Taishang Mansion, the Taishang Mansion would not have come forward. ”
Shang said: "It turned out that when we didn't know. My sister has gone somewhere we didn't know. ”
Just as they were saying these words, Jia Baoyu suddenly walked in from outside.
Shang was very surprised, and hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Uncle Bao." How did you get here? ”
Jia Baoyu said: "I heard that the second brother Lian is back, I don't know ......"
Shang hurriedly said, "Yes." I don't know what Uncle Bao is looking for? ”
What else can Jia Baoyu do to find Jia Lian? Isn't it Tanchun's marriage.
In the past few years, the cruelty of time and life has made Jia Baoyu grow a lot, and he is no longer the first young master of the Jia family in the courtyard of Jia's mother, so Jia Baoyu has become more and more greedy for the days in front of Jia's mother. Every time she came to visit Jia's mother in the mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo, Jia Baoyu was always very attentive. I was reluctant to give up when I left. Rongguo Marquis Mansion, no, those girls in Jia's mother's courtyard still treat Jia Baoyu as well. also made Jia Baoyu feel a little at home.
Many years ago, Jia Baoyu has been living in Jia's mother's courtyard, and now they come to Rongguohou's Mansion as guests, and Jia Baoyu and his wife also live in the small courtyard behind Jia's mother's courtyard where Jia Baoyu lived. This familiar environment. made Jia Baoyu almost have an illusion. It's as if he has always lived in this mansion, has always been the young master in this mansion, and has never moved out.
Jia Baoyu came to the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion the day before yesterday, and he thought that Jia Lian met him yesterday, just like the previous times he came to the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, but in fact, Jia Lian originally had this plan, but after talking with the Shang family. All his mind was attracted by his sister's future, so naturally he didn't go to see Jia Baoyu.
Right now. Jia Baoyu heard that Jia Lian came back from the yamen early today, so he came over on purpose, but he didn't expect that Jia Lian was not there.
Jia Baoyu was stunned at that time.
Jia Baoyu raised his head in a daze and saw Shang Qingyi and Yan Wei.
Shang Qingyi is a few years older than Jia Lian, and Yan Wei is nearly forty years old. However, whether it is Shang Qingyi or Yan Wei, they are both profound cultivators, and Yan Wei was infused with a lot of Yuan Gong by the elders in the family when he was very young, so these two can obviously be said to be middle-aged, but in terms of appearance alone, they look younger than Jia Baoyu, who is just nineteen years old this year. If it is about knowledge and demeanor, it is even more difficult to dump Jia Baoyu I don't know how far.
Jia Baoyu was stunned.
He blinked stupidly, thinking he was dazzled.
At the moment when he saw Yan Wei and Shang Qingyi clearly, Jia Baoyu's stupidity came up again. Jia Baoyu seems to have returned to the time when he was a child, back to the time when the Grand View Garden was newly built, as if he was still the pampered rich and noble son in the rich nest Qiluo Cong, when he saw these two people, he was stunned in his heart, and there was only one thought: "There are such characters in the world, and now that I see him, I have become a mud pig and a leper dog." If you can hand over to the two of them as soon as possible, this life will not be in vain. ”
Looking at Jia Baoyu's stunned appearance, Shang was very helpless.
The Shang family doesn't know much about Jia Baoyu, but Jia Jiu's various wariness and boredom with Jia Baoyu, the Shang family still knows. In order not to provoke the sister-in-law, and for his own reputation, the Shang family has always kept a distance from Jia Baoyu. But Jia Baoyu is like this, and the Shang family can't introduce Jia Baoyu to him.
When the Shang family introduced the two guests to him, Jia Baoyu immediately reacted, and he greeted Shang Qingyi and Yan Wei with grace and courtesy, as if he was still the young master of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Baoyu's attitude made Shang Qingyi and Yan Wei slightly surprised, but their good upbringing still made them respond to Jia Baoyu politely and thoughtfully.
After listening to Shang's introduction, Jia Baoyu reacted, it turned out that this was not the son of the family that Jia Lian was looking for to explore the spring, but his own relatives. But when I think about it, it's also good to kiss and kiss. Although Tanchun may be a little younger than Shang Qingyi's age, there are too few girls in the world who have not yet married at Tanchun's age. In addition, older men will hurt people, and the more Jia Baoyu thinks about it, the more he thinks that it is a good family matter.
Thinking like this, Jia Baoyu's attitude towards Shang Qingyi became a little closer.
Fortunately, Jia Baoyu also has some brains, knowing that Yan Wei, the eldest princess of Jiashan, who is rumored outside, is not something that her sister can afford to provoke.
Jia Baoyu thought that he was cleverly probing Shang Qingyi's preferences, but in fact, his behavior had already attracted the attention of Shang Qingyi and Yan Wei. These two, since they entered Beijing, have always been the focus of the world. If you think that they are annoyed by other people's questions and directly tell a new acquaintance about their preferences, it is too much to underestimate their upbringing.
Jia Baoyu's investigation immediately made Yan Wei and Shang Qingyi think of those dignitaries who were interested in marrying their daughters, and also thought of Jia Baoyu's sister Tanchun.
Shang Qingyi shook his fan, but when Jia Baoyu was not paying attention, he glanced at his sister, and when he saw his sister nodding slightly, he knew Jia Baoyu's plan.
Oh, it's really a family with a daughter (sister) who is worried about marrying.
As the elder brother of the Shang family, before Shang Qingyi married his sister into the Jia family, he inquired carefully about the affairs of the Jia family, including the affairs of Jia Jiu, Jia Qian and Jia Qing, as well as the affairs of Jia Zheng's family, as well as the affairs of several girls living in the mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo, whether it was Lin Daiyu's sister and brother or Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Xing Xiuyan, Shang Qingyi had all understood.
For Tanchun's shrewdness, although Shang Qingyi has sympathy and appreciation, even compared to Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun's acceptance of Tanchun is a little higher. But this is just a comparison with Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai. In fact, if they want to marry, whether it is Jia Jiu or Lin Daiyu, or Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters, they are ranked much higher than Tanchun in Shang Qingyi's heart.
Regarding Tanchun's situation, Shang Qingyi said that this was the helplessness of the concubine and the sorrow of the maidservant's daughter, but Shang Qingyi also showed disagreement with Tanchun's behavior of stepping on Jia Huan and climbing up.
The bigger the family, the more I care about every male in the big family. Like Jia Huan, even if it is a servant child, if it is about social status and significance to the family, it is more important than Tanchun, a servant daughter. If it is placed in the merchant, even if there is such a servant child, the people of the merchant will treat the child well and cultivate the child into a talent.
Not because this child will definitely become a pillar in the future, nor necessarily because of the benefits that this child can bring to the family in the future, but because the cohesion and centripetal force of the family have always been accumulated bit by bit on weekdays. This kind of thing requires the efforts of everyone in the family.
Like Tanchun, a maidservant who dares to be a man in the family, even if it is his younger brother, will be punished. There is no doubt about it.
Similarly, Tanchun, who had the behavior of tossing his own brother to please his mother-in-law, would naturally be blacklisted by the merchant and the Yan family at the first time. (To be continued......)
