The big beach matter left by the queen of Yuanchun Province was cleaned up in Jiafu for two days before it was finished.

After two days of rest, Jia Mu and the others can be regarded as regaining their spirits.

On this day, Jia Mu was very quiet and moved, remembering that she hadn't seen Xiangyun for a long time, so she sent a carriage to pick it up.

When Xiangyun came to Jiafu, he was just happy, laughing and playing with Daiyu, Yingchun and other sisters, and he was ten times happier than in the Baoling Mansion.

Jia Zheng's errand in the Ministry of Industry was very easy, except for the hard work of the previous dynasty, at other times, he only needed to go to the yamen to order a mao.

Today he went home early and read in his study. Suddenly, I heard that someone came to report that there was a Confucian named Gu Dingchen under the door who asked to see him.

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then ordered someone to invite in.

Gu Dingchen's name is also known to Jia Zheng. In addition, he originally liked cultural scholars and was willing to mention points, which is what others call Corporal Lixian. The other party has the fame of Xie Yuan, and his visit is enough to attract Jia Zheng's attention.

Gu Dingchen obviously didn't expect Jia Zheng to meet him, and his name post also wrote to meet Jia Baoyu.

However, Jia Zheng is a senior in the court and the biological father of the noble concubine, and being able to meet him in person is already considered condescending, so he behaves very humbly and politely.

Jia Zheng became more and more pleased.

"I don't know if Gu Gongzi is coming to the Humble House today, but what's the matter?"

After a moment of greeting, Jia Zheng asked.

Gu Dingchen sat down and hugged his fists and saluted, asked the scholar to present a wide paper box, and then said to Jia Zheng: "Hui Zhenglao, the students are here, one is to thank the second son of your mansion for his appreciation and gift." Second, although it was appreciated by the second son, this dress was too valuable, and the students did not dare to steal it, so they came to return it today. ”

As he spoke, he respectfully placed the brocade box in his hand in front of Jia Zheng with both hands.

Jia Zheng was slightly surprised. Jia Baoyu got a finch gold fur from Jia's mother, and he naturally knew about it when he gave it to Gu Dingchen.

However, he has also been rich since he was a child, and it is Jia Baoyu's business, so he naturally didn't pay too much attention to it. That kid, the idea is more positive than Lao Tzu, every time he just wants to teach him and show the majesty of being Lao Tzu, just say a few words, he will be speechless by his reasoned response.

He is not a messer, so he doesn't care about Jia Baoyu when he comes and goes, and even when he notices that Jia Baoyu is meddling in his family's affairs, he doesn't care if he is about to be "hollowed out".

Anyway, he doesn't like to care about mundane things.

Of course, this is an inside story, in front of Gu Dingchen, he naturally wouldn't say anything that would lose the majesty of his father, so he only said: "Even if he gives it to you, how can I take it back?" Gu Gongzi should take it back. ”

Gu Dingchen bent down and saluted: "It's not that the student is hypocritical, pretending to be high." If it is an ordinary thing, the student should accept it, and remember the kindness of the second son.

But this thing is something that students never dare to accept.

The students have already inquired, this garment is called Bird Gold, but it is a thing sent by the Russian royal family in the far north to reconcile with my great mystery, and each one is worth a thousand gold, and it is extremely valuable.

The students come from a poor family, have no official or position, how dare they trespass and keep such precious things privately.

Originally, I wanted to go to the door to return it, but it coincided with the Spring Festival, and the students knew that your house was busy with affairs and did not dare to visit without authorization, so they did not dare to come to the door until today.

Please be sure to accept this item to appease the hearts of the students. ”

"This ......"

Jia Zheng was speechless for a moment. He is not good at false words, so although he thinks it is not good to take things back like this, but what the other party said is reasonable, and he doesn't know how to refuse.

Seeing this, Gu Dingchen bowed again.

"Then, since this is the case, the old man will accept it for him for the time being......"

"Thank you for your success."

As soon as he heard Jia Zheng agree, Gu Dingchen did not hesitate any longer, bowed down and thanked him, and then said goodbye.

Jia Zheng immediately retained: "Why don't you stay for a while, presumably Baoyu is about to return home."

Wouldn't it be better if the two of you met before you left? ”

Gu Dingchen's eyebrows moved. He did have plans to meet Jia Baoyu and talk about it today.

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu was not in the house.

He has never liked to deal with this kind of Houmen Mansion, one is because of his arrogant personality, and more importantly, now that he has been named and criticized by the first assistant, it is impossible to enter the court within three years.

At this time, he was even more reluctant to associate with the powerful families, otherwise someone would maliciously speculate that he would not be able to enter the imperial examination, so he turned around and befriended the powerful and actively monopolized......

This was unbearable for his pride, so he finally refused Jia Zheng's retention.

As soon as Gu Dingchen left, Jia Zheng sighed and said: "It's a pity, such a scholar with literary brilliance and humility and courtesy, if he doesn't criticize the current politics, I'm afraid that this department has been the first in the first class, and he will enter the court, and the future is unlimited, but it's a pity, it's a pity."

Jia Zheng felt sorry for Gu Dingchen, and then ordered left and right: "Send this thing to Baoyu's house."

……

Xiangyun and Sister Yingchun played in Daiyu's house for a long time, and Sister Sanchun left first because they agreed to go back to wash their hair.

Xiangyun pulled Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, let's go see if my brother is back, ......?"

Daiyu likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, and it has taken her a lot of energy to play with the sisters before, so she said, "You go, I'll sleep for a while."

As he spoke, he was already walking towards the kang.

"Oh, you're too lazy, it's going to be lunch soon, what are you sleeping?"

Xiangyun didn't want Daiyu to sleep, Daiyu just frowned at her. Xiangyun had no choice, so he had to leave her and go to Jia Baoyu's house.

When I entered the door, I saw several maids in Jia Baoyu's house talking around.

"What do you say?"

Xiangyun ran directly to them and asked.

When everyone saw Xiangyun coming, they all greeted with a smile and let tea be served.

It's just that Xiangyun didn't pay attention to these, because she also saw what the maids were watching before.

"Ah, what beautiful clothes!"

Xiangyun likes this kind of shiny and heroic thing the most.

"This is the second brother's clothes, isn't it?"

She touched the gold thread and feathers with her hand, praised it again and again, and asked the maids.

Qingwen and the others told Xiangyun how this finch gold qiu came to be and how it went, and finally came back to tell Xiangyun about this series of twists and turns.

Xiangyun was surprised when he heard this, and then saw Hunting Xinxi: "Then can I wear the clothes of my second brother?" It's so pretty! ”

Coincidentally, the chief manager in Jia Baoyu's house was not there today, and Qingwen was the most unparticular person, so she smiled when she heard it: "Okay, I was looking for someone to wear it for us to see, we didn't dare to wear the second master's clothes, but Miss Qiaoyun came, so she wore them for us."

Therefore, he pulled Xiangling and Musk Yue, and put them on Xiangyun.

Xiangyun happily accepted, and after they buckled the secret buckle, they turned around several times in place, and asked vigorously, "How is it?" "Is it good-looking? "Yunyun.

Qingwen stepped forward and picked up Xiangyun's arm, looked up and down, and giggled: "Miss Yun is wearing this dress, but she shows a little heroism, but the clothes are a little bigger, and they are a little dragged to the ground."

The maids are also good-looking.

Xiangyun was even happier, and walked around a few more times, so that after the maid had seen enough, he was not ready to take it off, so he ran away lightly with the hem of his clothes.

Qingwen and the others will naturally not stop it.

"Sister Lin, take a look, this dress looks good!"

Xiangyun ran directly back to Daiyu's house and woke up Daiyu, who was leaning on the kang and reading.

Daiyu put down the book, sat up and took a look, and said, "Yo, such beautiful clothes, where did they come from?"

"What is the name of the second brother's house...... Do you think it's good-looking? ”

When Daiyu heard this, she suddenly understood a little.

Seeing Xiangyun wearing Jia Baoyu's clothes, he looked proud, so he said angrily: "You don't want to ask me if my clothes look good, but you want to ask me if I look good on you."

Xiangyun was suddenly a little embarrassed: "It's not the same ......"

Seeing that Daiyu was not as face-saving as Qingwen and the others, Xiangyun felt a little bored, so he stopped playing with Daiyu and ran away with his clothes again.

This time, she went to Jia Mu's house.

There are a lot of people there, enough for her to "collect likes".

In the main room of Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia was half-squinting, listening to the mandarin duck read to her.

Suddenly, half of the children ran in, and she subconsciously shouted: "Baoyu is here."

Then I realized that it was not.

sat up, pushed his reading glasses and took a closer look, and suddenly said angrily: "It turned out to be a cloud girl."

Then I realized that something was wrong: "Where did you get this garment?"

Xiangyun jumped up and down to Jia Mu, twisted his waist left and right, and asked, "Ancestor, take a look."

After speaking, seeing that Jia's mother just frowned, she said, "It was from the second brother's house."

"Didn't he say that he gave away this dress?"

Jia Mu was surprised.

Xiangyun explained a few words, saying that the person sent it back again.

When Jia Mu heard this, she understood, and then she didn't pursue the situation of whether it was good to send things out and take them back.

She was very happy to see this dress come back, because she said to the mandarin duck: "Don't say, Yun Yatou looks better in this dress than in a skirt."

The mandarin duck naturally smiled and said yes.

There were also some maids and mothers-in-law in the house, who also echoed with a smile.

Xiangyun's sense of glory was suddenly full, twisted it, and threw himself into Jia's mother's arms to be coquettish.

Jia Mu smiled, touching Xiangyun's face with one hand and rubbing the feathers of her clothes with the other.

It's not that she is a child, she has been collecting this dress for many years, so she said that she would wear it for him when Jia Baoyu grew up. Who knew that he didn't know how to cherish at all, so he turned around and gave it away, what a ......

Now it's good.

There was an old woman in the house, who had been with Jia's mother for a longer time, and knew the origin of the clothes, so she said it.

It is said that the old Rongguo Gong died that year, and the imperial court rewarded the ministers, so the Internal Affairs Office gave a large number of valuable things in the house.

This piece of finch is one of them.

At that time, how old was Jia Baoyu......

Mother Jia sighed when she heard this: "So, how did their children's family know that this thing is precious, just be generous, and give it to others." Listening to my nagging, I'm afraid that I will think I'm stingy and reluctant.

As everyone knows, I have been married to their Jia family for more than 50 years, and at that time, the first generation of the two old grandfathers were still in their prime, that is, when their family was at its peak.

At that time, the house was like this.

Although my wife is not blessed, she has also been stained with a lot of light, what kind of glory and wealth have you never seen and enjoyed?

If it's just a matter of a thousand taels of silver, their families don't feel distressed, what do I feel sorry for.

How did they know that there was a shadow of his grandfather here, so I wanted him to cherish it more. ”

Everyone listened to Jia Mu's words, and the older ones, who had learned about the history of Jiafu, were all embarrassed.

The young girls didn't understand. Now that the wealth in the mansion is not as good as before, they can't imagine what the former Jia Mansion was like, so they had to look at them and sigh......

Xiangyun didn't care much about this, but he knew the preciousness of this dress, and he liked it even more.
