Chapter 100: Give way
Because of the urgency of time, Jia Baoyu did not stay in Rongqing Hall for long, hurriedly finished breakfast, and then went to bid farewell to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Baoyu had something important today, so she got up early and waited for Jia Baoyu to come over to say goodbye.
However, Jia Zheng had just gotten up, so he only called the maid out, so that he didn't have to be polite, and he just went.
So Jia Baoyu came out of Mrs. Wang's house and went out directly along the center of Rongxi Hall.
Outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, there are already chariots and horses and people to follow.
Mingyan, Li Gui, Li Shaoyou and others are already waiting here.
Jia Baoyu's identity has long been unusual, Zhaoxin Lieutenant, Zheng Liupin, and his official rank is only two levels shorter than Jia Zheng.
I went to the study again and accompanied the princes to study, so the battle was not much different from Jia Zheng's court.
In this regard, Jia Baoyu did not feel publicized at all.
Anyway, these people in the family are idle, and they can be dragged out for a walk at any time, and they can also help them exercise.
and Li Shaoyou nodded, and Jia Baoyu got into the carriage. After a while, he suddenly remembered something, lifted the curtain, and asked Li Gui who was following him, "How is Mother Li lately?" ”
Li Gui, who was originally depressed, saw Jia Baoyu talking to him, and suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly bent over and hooked his back and said: "Thank you Second Master for still remembering my mother, she is an old man... It's already much better......"
Li Gui's words were somewhat unnatural.
Just kidding, after sixty boards, his mother lost almost half of her life. He was driven to Zhuangzi again, but fortunately he sent someone to take care of him, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.
Jia Baoyu showed pity on her face: "I should go to see her old man's house, but I haven't found a chance for the New Year a while ago, and I'm afraid that her old man will be angry when she sees me......"
Li Gui is still a little capable.
Most of the Zhuangzi of the Jia family are in the south and northeast, and there are only a few small Zhuangzi near the capital. Jia's mother only said that she drove Mama Li to Zhuangzi, and she didn't know how much benefit Li Gui gave Wang Xifeng or Jia Lian, so she left her mother in the capital.
"The second master is a nobleman, how can he go to those pickled places, the second master has this heart, and the slave family is satisfied. My mother told me a while ago that she regretted it very much and missed her second master, and if she had the opportunity to meet her second master in the future, she didn't know how happy she would be, and how could she be angry. ”
Li Gui said cautiously.
He didn't know whether what Jia Baoyu said was true or false. Since the last time he fought with Mingyan, it has only been a little longer, and Jia Baoyu has gone from a penniless young master to the favor of the Emperor Taishang, not to mention that he has also won the Liupin Zhaoxin Lieutenant of the Emperor Taishang's Imperial Mouth, and his name has moved the capital.
In this case, even a fool knows that with such a master, he will definitely have an unlimited future in the future, and maybe he will be able to get rich and rich.
But my mother didn't know if she was old and confused or what, at this time, she actually ran to Jia Baoyu's house to make trouble. This is good, it makes the old lady too angry, not only does she not have good fruit to eat, but the family can't raise her head in the house.
I don't know if Jia Baoyu will trust him in the future......
"What happened a year ago, I failed to protect my grandmother, and she suffered a big crime, Brother Li won't blame me, right?"
"The second master laughed, my mother's matter is purely that she drank too much wine and broke the rules of the house, the second master can ask the old lady to spare her old man's life, it is already her old man's blessing, how dare she blame the second master."
Jia Baoyu smiled and said: "I still have a mountain ginseng in my house, and when I turn around, I will ask someone to send it out, and you can take it back and make up for my grandmother's body, which can be regarded as a little filial piety of mine." ”
"Thank you, Second Master......"
Jia Baoyu lowered the curtain.
Mama Li will no longer be able to influence him from now on, Jia's mother is "golden mouth", and she will never want to return to Rongguo Mansion for the rest of her life.
However, she has a husband and a pair of children in the house, her son is naturally Li Gui, and her daughter is a little maid in Mrs. Wang's courtyard.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu is still willing to do the work of face.
As for whether the Li family accepts it or not, Jia Baoyu doesn't care at all.
Originally, he didn't regard Li Gui as a confidant, if he was safe, it would be fine. If he wants to find something like his mother, he will be driven out.
When the carriage reached the Xihua Gate, it could not move any further.
Jia Baoyu got out of the car and was not in a hurry to go to the Forbidden City.
After all, today is the first day of school after the New Year, so waiting for the boss here and then going in together is also considered basic etiquette.
However, Jia Baoyu came a little earlier today, and waited for a quarter of an hour before he saw the second prince's eight-treasure canopy hairpin car driving over.
Jia Baoyu and Tian Qi, another companion of the second prince, hurriedly greeted him.
"You've been waiting a long time."
The second prince lifted the curtain and smiled at Jia Baoyu and the others.
Jia Baoyu and Tian Qi naturally didn't dare to do it, and then accompanied by the carriage of the second prince, they entered the Forbidden City on foot, just like Li Gui and the others before.
Today is not the day of the dynasty, so the Forbidden City at this time seems unusually quiet, except for the occasional "swish" sound of eunuchs sweeping the floor.
Halfway through, I found that on the opposite side of the palace road, there was a group of strangely dressed monks, followed by eunuchs and forbidden soldiers.
Jia Baoyu secretly wondered why there was a group of monks in the palace, and the monk who was the leader was actually sitting on the bamboo chariot in a grand manner.
You must know that in the palace, in addition to the emperor and harem concubines, even the princes and nobles can only walk to show their awe and respect for the imperial power.
Even a small number of people who were authorized by the emperor to ride horses at most, or ride in carriages like the second prince.
Sitting directly like this, Jia Baoyu is the first time to see it.
What's even more strange is that when the second prince's honor guard found the other party, he actually took the initiative to stop to the side, obviously to let the other party pass first.
Tian Qi saw the look on Jia Baoyu's face, and knew that the time for him to enter and leave the palace was still short, and he didn't know the way here, so he explained:
"Today, His Majesty is studying Buddhism, worshipping the Zen Master Zhu Lan, a senior monk of the Huguo Temple, as the Zen Master of the Protector of the Country, and leading a group of disciples to reside in the Forbidden City to preach the scriptures and teachings for His Majesty.
Looking at today's posture, it is bound to be ordered by the emperor to go out of the palace to open the altar and preach for His Majesty......"
Jia Baoyu suddenly understood, it was about religious beliefs, and it was still about the emperor, and it was not surprising that something strange happened.
No wonder, the second prince, who is the prince of a country, also takes the initiative to give way to him, it seems that this monk is very favored by the emperor.
"Stop."
A procession of monks stopped next to the carriage of the second prince.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince doesn't want to see the poor monk like this, and he doesn't even want the poor monk to see the golden face?"
Zen Master Zhu Lan, who was sitting on the bamboo chariot, said with a smile.
There was silence in the carriage for a while, and then the second prince lifted the curtain and said lightly: "Jing Hao has seen the Zen Master of the Protector Country." ”
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for half a month, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is becoming more and more radiant, handsome and extraordinary......"
"If the Zen master is fine, Shu Jinghao still has schoolwork in his body, and he can't accompany him, so he will leave."
The second prince coldly interrupted Zhu Lan's conversation, and then ordered the honor guard to move forward.
Zen Master Zhu Lan smiled indifferently, and was about to wave his hand to continue walking, when suddenly his face froze, and he suddenly glanced back.
Seeing this, a steward eunuch next to him hurriedly asked, "Master Zen, what's wrong?" ”
Zhu Lan turned around, her expression moved slightly, and finally shook her head and said, "It's okay, continue to Huguo Temple." ”
PS: I'm going to put it on the shelves early next month, so let's change it in the next few days, and prepare to save the manuscript, hoping that the first order data will look better at that time.
