Turning into the Grand View Garden from the side of Huifang Garden, he was about to enter the Yihong Courtyard to have a look, when he heard someone talking on the avenue, so he walked out.

But it was Li Kun who came with some maids.

When they saw Jia Baoyu, they all came up to salute, and Li Kun also saluted.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Jia Baoyu asked with a smile.

Li Kun said: "My wife said that during the national funeral, there was no banquet and music at home, so I dismissed the little actors in the Lixiang Courtyard......"

"Dismissed?"

Jia Baoyu frowned.

The mother-in-law next to her explained: "What Mrs. means, these girls were bought to learn drama in order to welcome the concubine Niangniang home."

A lot of them are little girls from white families.

Now there is no need for it, and it cannot be disadvantaged.

Let the grandmother inquire, they have a home, and if they are willing to go back, they will ask their family to pick them up.

If you don't have a place to go, or don't want to leave, we'll see how you settle it when the time comes......"

As a concubine, Yuan Chun is not good at seeing the drama troupe next to her privately. So the little girl who went to Jiangnan in advance to buy in Jiafu made a special trip to learn drama at home, just to demonstrate it to Yuan Chun that night.

And then it's really not much of a use.

In order to support these more than a dozen girls who are learning drama, Lixiangyuan has to allocate a lot of stewards, teachers, and cooks, which is also very troublesome.

Therefore, taking advantage of this state funeral, Mrs. Wang decided to dismiss them and save a matter.

Jia Baoyu thought for a while and said, "It's better to be like this, it just so happens that the Queen Mother gave me a palace, and there is still a lack of a group of actors in it."

The actors in Lixiangyuan are our own home, but they are more at ease than those elsewhere.

The eldest sister-in-law first dispersed them and placed them in the sisters' house to listen to the call, and also obeyed the rules of Taoism.

After the national funeral, sending them to my palace will save both parties. ”

Wang fu......

The maids and ladies didn't hear Jia Baoyu's words much, and their minds were full of this word.

Even Li Kun looked at Jia Baoyu in surprise: "You want to move out?" ”

Jia Baoyu didn't deceive her, and said: "Not for the time being, there is nothing in the palace now, and the palace is still selecting people for me, and everything that should be repaired must also be renovated."

It will be a long time before those things are done.

Besides, even if the palace is hung up in the future, the East Mansion is still my other courtyard, and I can come back to live at any time. ”

The maids and servants were dumbfounded, and they were shocked and sighed in their hearts, so naturally they didn't need to say much.

Li Kun was a little distracted.

This kind of thing, when Jia Baoyu was not at home, his wife and the others discussed it.

In addition to being happy for Jia Baoyu, he can only be secretly sad.

However, Jia Baoyu had no room for her to say anything, so she could only nod and say, "Since this is the case, I will arrange them in their house to welcome the spring first as you said."

It's just that you still need to tell your wife about the affairs of the palace......

By the way, will Yihong Courtyard also arrange two pasts? ”

Li Kun thought that the total number of small dramas was twelve, and even if the Spring Festival sisters were evenly distributed, each of them would probably get two.

Although he knew that he had not lived in Yihong Courtyard for a long time, Jia Baoyu still hoped that there would be more happiness in the Grand View Garden.

Those teenage little actors are old, can speak, sing, and acrobatics, and their temperament is naturally more lively and clever than ordinary maids. If the Grand View Garden is without them, it will naturally be less interesting.

That's why let's stay.

Hearing Li Kun's words, Jia Baoyu thought for a while.

Among the twelve officials, the ones that impressed him the most were naturally Fang Guan and Ling Guan.

One is lively and active, the other is sentimental and has a tricky personality.

The most important thing is that the latter's appearance is more similar to Daiyu than Zhi Qingwen, and his personality is more than three points higher than Daiyu.

Such a rebellious and delicate little girl is placed elsewhere, but I am afraid that it will be troublesome.

So he said: "Put Ling Guan in Yihong Courtyard, and Fang Guan will send it to Sister Lin."

As for the rest, Sister-in-law Lao worked hard, and let Sister Bao choose which one she wanted. ”

Although the little actors have only been at Jia's house for less than two years, everyone knows about it.

Ling Guan and Fang Guan, the drama is the best.

So it was not surprising to hear Jia Baoyu nodding and giving one to Ling Guan and Fang Guan to himself, and one to Daiyu.

Who called the prince the most favored Miss Lin......

The mothers-in-law all laughed and said: "They are also blessed, the girls are kind-hearted people, and the prince put them in the girls' house, so naturally they can't suffer half a point."

Later, when I arrived at the palace, I would naturally enjoy ......"

While enlivening the atmosphere, they looked at Jia Baoyu, and their expressions were as if they wanted Jia Baoyu to open a favor and take them to the palace.

In this regard, Jia Baoyu naturally ignored it.

He put Fang Guan in Xiaoxiang Pavilion because he wanted to use her pistachio to enliven the atmosphere of Xiaoxiang Pavilion and make Daiyu happier.

After Li Kun responded, he didn't say much, nodded with Li Kun, and went towards Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as he left, the mothers-in-law couldn't help but talk about it anymore.

The topic is naturally Jia Baoyu's new palace, and the relationship between Jia Baoyu and the Jia family in the future......

Suddenly, a mother-in-law said: "You said that the second master of Bao has become the prince, and he will live in the palace in the future, and the family business will ...... in the future?" ”

Perhaps in Jia Baoyu's eyes, a Rongguo Mansion is nothing for a long time.

But in the eyes of these servants of the Jia family, this Guogong Mansion is the wealth of the sky!

Not only that, whoever takes over the Rongguo Mansion will be their real master in the future.

This kind of topic of self-interest naturally makes them more concerned.

It turns out that there is no controversy about this matter, and the family business of the lord and his wife and even the private house of the old lady are naturally handed over to the second master Bao to inherit.

But now that Bao Er Ye has become the prince of the clan, will he inherit this family business again?

If Bao Er Ye will not inherit, then who should inherit?

The lord has a son......

But as soon as they thought about it, they shook their heads, no matter what, it was impossible for the family business to fall on the third master of Huan, who hated dogs.

Since Aunt Zhao was shaved out of the house, the third master of Huan has been locked up in the mansion and raised, and he has not even shown his face once.

Besides, he's just a gentleman.

As a result, everyone's eyes all fell on Li Kun.

Although the uncle died early, the Lan Ge'er he left behind was the eldest grandson of the master.

If Second Master Bao doesn't inherit it, it will naturally be Brother Lan'er's turn......

Li Kun naturally knew the meaning of these people's gazes.

In fact, where to use them to remind her, she had thought about this problem as early as after confirming that Jia Baoyu had become the prince of the clan.

Her Lan Ge'er already has the right to inherit!

In the past, because everyone's eyes in the family from top to bottom were focused on his second uncle, she knew that there was no chance, so she could only force herself not to be greedy to think about anything else.

Even, she had already planned a way back for Lan Ge'er, that is, to force him to study seriously and hard.

As long as Lan Ge'er is admitted to fame, then even if the family is separated in the future, with the power of the family, Lan Ge'er can be an official and a master!

This was an idea a long time ago.

Judging from the words of Second Uncle Bao today, he probably won't care about the family business of Rong Guofu.

He has a royal mansion, and even the other courtyard is an old state mansion.

Therefore, once Second Uncle Bao gives up, Lan'er's opportunity will come......

Of course, she thinks more comprehensively than these mothers-in-law.

These mothers-in-law have long thought in their hearts that Rongguo Mansion belongs to the lord and wife, so they will not consider Jia Lian. As everyone knows, now that the old lady is still there, Jia Lian is also qualified to inherit, and even very justifiable......

As long as he can inherit the title of the eldest lord smoothly!

The eldest lord was suddenly killed by the rebels, and she had already heard that the second master of Lian over there had long been ready to wait for the funeral of the eldest lord to be completed, so he asked the court for a knighthood......

If nothing else, the title of first-class general of the eldest lord will fall to Jia Lian as a third-class general, the same as the previous Uncle Zhen.

By then......

Everyone knows that the old grandfather was partial to his youngest son, that is, Jia Zheng.

The eldest lord inherited the title, but only divided the East Cross Courtyard. The lord divided the main house compound.

Therefore, even if Second Uncle Bao takes the initiative to retreat, and Second Master Lian becomes a general in the future, he will have the heart to fight for the main mansion compound, but he is afraid that Lan'er may not be able to fight.

Lan'er is still young after all......

The rotation of these thoughts in my heart is only a moment.

Li Kun is not a shallow person, and he will not let his heart be written on his face.

So looking at the faint stuttering gazes around her, she scolded: "Talking nonsense, how can you worry about these things? If others know, they won't be able to peel off your skin! ”

As he spoke, Li Kun urged them to leave quickly.

When the maids and daughters-in-law hurriedly buried their heads and left, Li Kun, who was left behind, couldn't help but look back at the direction where Jia Baoyu disappeared at the main entrance.

Yes, they have no place to speak about these things.

Even she herself had no room to speak.

However, Baoyu has it, and he can influence and decide the ownership of this state mansion.

……

"Old lady, Second Master Bao is here!"

After these days of recuperation, Jia's mother looks a little better.

This afternoon, I left my granddaughters to talk.

Hearing that Jia Baoyu came over, he was even more excited.

All the customs and etiquette were discussed, and after saying a few more words, Jia Mu said: "They all said that you were very busy, and even your wife only saw you last night......"

Jia Baoyu smiled bitterly: "Yes, my grandson is tired these days.

It's all to blame on those faint officials in the court, and they can't do any trivial things.

Sun Er got the death order of the Emperor Taishang again, so he could only work harder.

Originally, when I came back last night, my grandson wanted to come to see my ancestors, but I heard from the mothers in the courtyard that you had already slept, so I didn't dare to disturb you. ”

Mother Jia was very moved when she heard this, and said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, what is there to look good about an old woman, you have time, you should rest more, don't look at me......

By the way, you'll be fine today, and you'll stay with me and your sisters for dinner, because it's been a long time since we've had dinner together. ”

Jia Mu's words are true.

Last time, Mrs. Wang held a home-cooked banquet in her house, but Jia's mother did not participate due to physical reasons.

Jia Baoyu was embarrassed.

"Why, do you still have to go out? It's so late......" Jia Mu asked.

Jia Baoyu could only say: "Now the emperor's coffin is parked in the Daming Palace, although the funeral ceremony has not yet been held, but the civil and military officials still have to go to worship in the morning and evening, and the grandson is no exception......

Mother Jia was naturally a little disappointed when she heard this, but she suddenly noticed that since Jia Baoyu was about to go out again, he rushed over to see her, which shows that although his identity has changed, he still has the same respect for her.

The thought of this really shook her heart.

This is much more precious than when she was Jia Baoyu's backer before......

Because he held Jia Baoyu's hand, he sighed again and again: "Okay, good, your business is important, eat or something, and it will be the same next time...... You only take care of yourself, those officials don't care, don't be too honest, when it's time to be lazy, you still have to be lazy, don't exhaust yourself. ”

Jia Baoyu smiled and responded.

Seeing Baochai, Daiyu and others sitting in two rows, they were all a little disappointed when they heard that he was going out.

So Jia Baoyu asked the maid behind Jia's mother: "Sister Mandarin Duck, what time is it?" ”

The mandarin duck was suddenly asked, and subconsciously said, "It's probably going to be Youzheng......

Immediately, he realized that Jia Baoyu wanted a specific time, and hurriedly took out the watch in his arms to take a look, and then said: "The third quarter of the first month!" ”

She has to serve Jia's mother closely, and she has a great responsibility, so she can have a watch to see the time.

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "There is still some time, it just so happens that my grandson is also hungry, is the kitchen ready?" If not, let's simply prepare a few dishes first, and let's eat in advance. ”

Jia Baoyu's words, Jia Mu and others were very happy.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng and Li Kun were not there, Tanchun took the initiative to take over the responsibility of co-ordination and instructed the servants to hurry up and notify the kitchen to set up the meal.

But in a moment, the entire Rongqing Hall sounded, and all kinds of urgings sounded.

In this way, Jia Baoyu regretted that he had moved the crowd......

The people serving beside Jia Mu were very neat, and under the command of Wang Xifeng, who came to hear the news, the meal was put on the table after a while.

So Jia Baoyu and the others moved to the dining room.

Because they knew that Jia Baoyu was in a hurry, everyone was not rude, so it was rare to eat a meal without rules.

During the banquet, Jia Baoyu also told Jia Mu and others about the palace, which was similar to what Li Kun said, so Jia Mu and the others did not react too drastically.

Xichun also quietly asked: "Second brother, what does your palace look like, is it as good as our Grand View Garden?" ”、

Jia Baoyu touched her head with a smile and said, "On the surface, it should look similar, but in detail, our garden should be better-looking." ”

"Oh......"

Xichun nodded clearly, but heard Wang Xifeng next to her laughing at her: "Xichun girl, don't you know if he lied to you, he is the palace, how can we compare it in our mansion......"

"Huh, really? Second brother, can I go over and have a look in the future? ”

Xichun immediately said.

"Of course you can, when the palace is decorated, I will take you over to play immediately."

Jia Baoyu smiled and glanced at the self-righteous Wang Xifeng again.

He is the palace, the Grand View Garden or the palace of the concubine......

However, after the provincial relatives, all the forbidden decorations such as hairpin curtains and phoenix curtains were removed in the Grand View Garden, so the wealth and honor are poor, and if you really want to talk about the beautiful scenery, the Qi Wangfu may not be comparable.

Xichun got the promise, as if he was happy, and said that he would go over with Tanchun and them when the time came.

Daiyu also took advantage of the unpreparedness of others, and turned her head and asked Jia Baoyu: "You are going to move to the imperial city in the future?" ”

Faced with her inquiry, Jia Baoyu only smiled: "It's not me, it's us." ”

Daiyu was suddenly ashamed, hurriedly sat upright, and looked around, but fortunately no one heard.

Therefore, he glared at Jia Baoyu and didn't dare to talk to him again.
