Things came much faster than Jia Jiu's estimate.

In the April palace exam, the emperor actually made a very terrible exam question in the palace exam, except for the stunned head, as long as there are some knowledgeable people, they are in a cold sweat against the exam questions, not to mention the ministers.

However, this has little to do with the Jia family.

Jia Yu still plays antiques at home, Jia Lian still goes to the yamen every day, and Jia Cong still follows Mr. to read every day. Except for a few girls who care about current affairs, most of the Jia family knows nothing about things outside.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't know anything, it's just that Jia's mother was born in the same nouveau riche family as the Jia family, and she doesn't look down on the poor and happy scholars, plus Jia Zhu's death, which makes him have no interest in Jinshike and the Chunfu Palace Examination. is also not interested, as well as Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. This couple has a solid understanding of the mouths of scholars, and Jia Zhu is dead, Jia Baoyu is young and doesn't like to read, let alone participate in the scientific examination, so naturally he doesn't care about the palace examination.

Therefore, it was already stormy outside, and the mountains and rains were about to come, but in Jia's house, Jia Yu could still feel that something was wrong, but Jia Zheng was drunk and dreamed of death.

Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is still proud of Jia Yuanchun's prominence. Jia Zheng is thinking about when he will be able to return to officialdom with the light of his daughter; Mrs. Wang was privately thinking about when she would be able to put on the phoenix crown and enter the palace to see her daughter again.

Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is still like this, not to mention others.

Jia Baoyu followed a few girls to live in the Grand View Garden. It's like a horse with the reins, and every day he soaks with his sisters, either reading or writing. Or chanting poems and paintings, or playing the piano and playing chess, or even depicting the thorn phoenix, fighting grass hairpins, chanting quietly, splitting words and guessing coins, all of which are unhappy.

Jia Baoyu thought that without Jia's mother, his father would definitely ask him about his homework, but he didn't expect it. called Daguanyuan, but Jia Zheng never had a chance to find him. In the beginning, he still remembers doing his homework on time every day. Later, it was still not possible.

Fortunately, although Tan Yun and Qi Fei were uneasy, they had a plan in their hearts, and from time to time they talked about Jia Jiu's books and other rare words. secretly talked to Li Kun and Xue Baochai again. Anyway, I let Jia Baoyu finish copying the book.

But after copying this book, Jia Baoyu lost his pen and ink, and went to make the little girl low, and even preferred to draw patterns for those girls than to see him borrow books from Jia Jiu, which inevitably made the sisters a little discouraged.

Forget about others, how can Li Kun give up?

Li Kun now only has Jia Lan's son left, and he hopes that his son can be successful more than anyone else. So. This book, Li Kun has to copy it no matter what.

It's just that. Li Kun is a widow, and he is not loved by his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law, who can still take care of him, is not around, so his life is not easy. As a widowed sister-in-law, Li Kun not only can't raise her son with peace of mind, but also has to please Jia Baoyu, the little uncle, in exchange for her mother-in-law's affection. Such a Li Kun, where did he come from, who could go to the Rongguo Marquis Mansion to borrow books for him and Jia Jiu?

Therefore, Li Kun is the one who hopes that Jia Mu can bring Jia Jiu to the Grand View Garden.

Therefore, Li Kun is also the most complicated one about Jia Baoyu's birthday.

It stands to reason that his son Jia Lan is Jia Zheng's eldest grandson, but now, who else in this Grand View Garden remembers Jia Lan's birthday? Even he, a widow, had to revolve around Jia Baoyu, not to mention others. However, only on Jia Baoyu's birthday, Jia's mother will come over. Only when Jia's mother came, the cousin would follow, and he guessed that it was possible to borrow books from this cousin.

It was in Li Kun's mood that on April 23, Jia's mother came with Jia Jiu, Xichun, Jia Qian, Jia Qing and Xing Xiuyan.

said that it was for her grandson's birthday, but everyone knew that Jia's mother missed her grandson.

Mrs. Wang personally welcomed Jia's mother to the main house of a newly cleaned up courtyard in the southwest of Daguan Garden, and brought a group of juniors and Aunt Xue and Mrs. Li to ask Jia's mother for peace, and even Jia Zheng came to kowtow to Jia's mother.

Jia Zhengdao: "It's the son who is not filial, knowing that the old lady can't leave Baoyu, but he was so busy with all kinds of trivial matters that he forgot to take Baoyu to the old lady to say goodbye." ”

Jia Mu said: "If you really want to say that, you shouldn't have moved out with the children in the first place." ”

But Jia's mother also knew that it was Jia Yuanchun's will to let Jia Baoyu move into Daguan Garden, and he really didn't want to say anything.

Jia's mother was worried about her son, so he softened his voice and said, "How are you doing these days?" The last time I visited, I didn't think there were so many rooms here. Now it seems that it looks a little bit like this. ”

It's just that the furnishings are a little simple.

Jia's mother is used to living a good life in her life. Not to mention that when he was young, let's just say that after Jia Yu became the family, the good things in Rongguo's mansion were picked by his mother. Jia's mother has a lot of dowry, a lot of private houses, and a high natural vision. Although there are a few vases and a few furnishings in this house, in Jia's mother's opinion, it is just empty and beautiful after all.

It's just that Jia Mu won't say it.

He knew that when the family was separated, it was the eldest son who raised his noble hand and gave the younger son a little property, but the younger son was a man who couldn't run it, and it didn't take long to consume a lot. Now a few ornaments in this house can't be said to be the Xue family's things.

Of course, Jia's mother would not show disgust at this time, but just asked about her son's living situation with a pleasant face.

To be honest, the current Grand View Garden is really not suitable for sightseeing. Although Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai and others have moved into the Grand View Garden, the flowers and trees in this Grand View Garden are not very neat, and they have to call people to replant. Naturally, this man who comes and goes is not pure. Even Xue Baochai Tanchun and other girls who live in the Grand View Garden can't move around at will in the Grand View Garden, and even their clothes are not easy to wash and dry.

Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin sisters are also forgotten. They are the daughters of the Xue family, and the Xue family is rich. Even if you don't have enough status and can't dress too brightly, you won't treat them badly in terms of clothing.

But Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun were miserable.

Especially Tanchun, he was originally a concubine. All of them are in the hands of Mrs. Wang. In the past, when Jia Yuanchun was at home, he had already reformed half of his share, and later Mrs. Wang came out, and she didn't mention the share of Tanchun. In addition, Tanchun is now the age of growing up, and moving out for two months is enough for him to move up a bit.

The garment could not be changed, so he had to wear dirty clothes. This is for a high-minded and arrogant girl like Tanchun. It is undoubtedly very humiliating. Not to mention, he also had to squeeze out the silver money and silk from between his teeth, and make shoes for Jia Baoyu first.

And so it goes. Tanchun's clothes are naturally not enough.

Even later, when the gardeners who had replanted the flowers and trees finished their work and left the garden, they caught up with the spring rains. The garment was washed and hung under the eaves to dry in the shade, still with a little moisture. Wear it on your body. I always feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, although Tanchun and his girls didn't say anything, they inevitably looked at them a few more times when they saw Jia Jiu, Xichun, Jia Qian, Jia Qing, Xing Xiuyan and others in bright clothes.

After Shi Xiangyun smiled and followed the sisters to greet him, he smiled and pulled Xing Xiuyan and said, "Sister Xing, I haven't seen you wear this dress yet." But new? ”

Xing Xiuyan smiled: "Exactly." Last time, the second sister got a lot of clothes outside, saying that this piece of natural water was very suitable for me, so she asked me to cut it. ”

"Tian Shui Bi?"

Xue Baochai heard. Immediately turned his gaze.

How did Xue Baochai not know that this day was blue? It is said that this was the reign of Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty. A concubine in his harem invented the dew-treated woven and dyed cloth. Because of the weather and dew is very particular, so the clothes of this day have been very popular with noble ladies since ancient times, and the price is naturally high.

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he immediately greeted Xue Baochai: "Sister Bao, come and see, is this really Tianshui Bi?" ”

Xue Baochai came over and looked at it carefully, and said, "It's not this. It is said that the Jiangnan Weaving Mansion produces four or five horses a year, and even the ladies in the palace are also unable to ask for it. ”

In fact, Xue Baochai is very similar to Xianxuan, and he also wore Tianshuibi's clothes when he was young. However, firstly, this does not match his simple and dignified image, and secondly, it is naturally because of his identity.

Of course, it is because the Xue family has fallen, and the imperial merchant signboard that the Xue family is proud of has been gone for several years, and it is also because the identities of the two sides are no longer equal.

In the original book, Xing Xiuyan and Xue Zhen are married, he is Xing Xiuyan's sister-in-law, so he can naturally educate this younger brother and sister. But now, what identity does Xue Baochai have to open this mouth? Xing Xiuyan is Jia Jiu's cousin, Jia Jiu gave him clothes, Xing Xiuyan continued, what did he do with Xue Baochai?

Therefore, when the words came to his lips, in the end, they only turned into envy.

Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan are Mrs. Wang's niece daughter and Mrs. Xing's maiden niece respectively, Mrs. Wang also has a daughter who is the imperial concubine, but Mrs. Xing is a living dead. In terms of scenery, Mrs. Wang doesn't know how many times better than Mrs. Xing, but Xue Baochai and Xing Xiuyan are upside down.

Xing Xiuyan was glamorous, but Xue Baochai didn't even dare to put on a bright dress.

The most ironic thing about personal encounters is this.

For Xue Baochai, what is even more heartbreaking is that his aunt Mrs. Wang is bent on squeezing the Xue family dry, while Xing Xiuyan has a cousin who compensates him from time to time.

The real doujin doesn't have a fate.。

Xing Xiuyan didn't expect this piece of clothing to be so valuable, so he immediately said: "Since that's the case, I'll change it when I go back." ”

Xue Baochai heard this, and hurriedly said: "The second sister gave this clothing to her sister to tailor, obviously she had a plan. My sister is like this, isn't she living up to the heart of my second sister. Moreover, the second sister has always done things properly, and her aunts take care of her. My sister is relieved. ”

Xing Xiuyan listened, and Fang was silent.

On the other side, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng had finished talking, and Jia Zheng also went out, Jia Baoyu immediately relaxed, and was in the mood to laugh among the sisters. first pestered Jia's mother and asked why Sister Lin didn't come, and then looked around.

Jia Baoyu saw Xing Xiuyan wearing blue water at a glance.

Although Xing Xiuyan's appearance is not as good as Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin, it is only one line behind, but it is much more beautiful than Shi Xiangyun. What's more important is that the hazy and elegant temperament of the poetic mist is even more eye-catching among the girls. With that dress and that exquisite jewelry, it attracted all Jia Baoyu's attention.

Jia Baoyu walked over quickly and said, "Sister Xing, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xing Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, immediately put away the smile on her face, and gave Jia Baoyu a blessing obediently and meekly.

Mrs. Wang's eyes swept over, and her gaze fell on Xing Xiuyan, adding three points of sharpness.

The contradiction between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing is not just a contradiction between concubines.

At the beginning, Mrs. Xing was drugged, Jing Zhaoyin, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple investigated the case together, and finally came to the conclusion that it was Mrs. Wang's instructions. But Mrs. Wang knew very well that she had never done such a thing at all. He's just carrying the cauldron for the minions.

Now, those minions don't know where they are, so Mrs. Wang can't be ordinary for herself at all.

Mrs. Wang hated.

He not only hated those minions for being bold and reckless, but also hated Jia pardoning Jia Jiu's father and daughter, thinking that Jing Zhaoyin's final verdict was the driving force of the father and daughter, and also hated Mrs. Xing, thinking that if it weren't for this woman's uselessness, he wouldn't have been accused of this trumped-up crime.

Because of her resentment against Jia Jiu and because of her resentment towards Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang naturally hated Xing Xiuyan.

Not only because Xing Xiuyan is Mrs. Xing's niece, but also because Jia Jiu takes care of Xing Xiuyan.

Mrs. Wang looked at Xing Xiuyan and said, "It's really rare to have Shuibi's clothes today, I heard that Niangniang is the imperial concubine, and there has never been such an example." ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "Yes." This year, the Jiangnan Weaving Mansion sent six Tianshui Bi, half of which were in the Taishang Palace, and the other half were given to the eldest princess of Lanling, the eldest princess of Jiashan and the eldest princess of Changle, and the princess of Changle gave it to me when she turned around. It's a pity that I don't fit this color, but Sister Xing looks better in it. So it was transferred to Sister Xing. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly beckoned, let Xing Xiuyan go over, looked at it carefully, and said, "The second girl really has a good eye." ”

Aunt Xue also said: "The second girl is really atmospheric. Such a valuable piece of clothing is said to be sent. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "It's just a piece of clothing." ”

Mrs. Wang listened to it on the side, and a wave of anger suddenly rose in her heart.

He felt that he was despised by Jia Jiu.

After all, Mrs. Wang is Jia Yuanchun's mother, and these days, she has been pampered, but she has picked up the scheming style of the past again. (To be continued......)
