Chapter 20: The Charm of That Cloth

The light rain in mid-spring washed the Ningguo Mansion decorated with animal heads and kisses, the light dust on the roof ridge was brushed clean, and the young couple Jia Zhen and You Shi sat and chatted casually under the south window, the entry and exit of family accounts, the harvest management of several Zhuangzi, the rent on the ground, the daily necessities of aristocratic life, etc., were all topics that the patriarch and the patriarch's wife often talked about, and they almost never talked about the matter between the bed.

You's personal girl Yin Die'er reported outside that "Xifu Cong Ye is here", put away the curtain felt, Jia Cong hung the oil-paper umbrella under the porch outside, shook the water droplets on his boots before slowly coming in, the two saw him with high knots, wearing a Songjiang cotton robe, round-necked middle shirt, long to the corner of the robe below the knee, pulled up and put into the waist sweat scarf, this dress is slightly indecent, but his eyes are pure, his face is white, and his appearance is good, and the rumored "studious and progressive, decent" is worthy of the name, and there is no disgust.

didn't stand up, Jia Zhen is a three-grade martial artist, according to the system, he needs to wear a tiger and leopard toner on formal occasions, and he is dressed in Shu brocade at home, and he can't see his boots when he grows long, "Well, Brother Cong, the eldest lord has instructed me, you are angry, it is beneficial to the whole clan, and I, the patriarch, should be funded, and I will pay thirty taels first, and I will have the right to make a small flower." ”

Jia Cong nodded, don't sit, thirty taels doesn't seem like much, but the money given for nothing, don't do it in vain, anyway, the family brand can't be erased, in the long run, he can't say that he takes advantage, if he becomes famous, these messes in one family and two mansions, there are many people, and there are many things, I'm afraid I can't hide it.

You Shi's upper body swastika forged uniform, gray, the hem is also a dark horse-faced skirt, a three-grade life woman, sideburns with gold hairpins, beads shake jade cui, Dan lips are easy-going and smiling, a light blue collared shirt can be seen inside, the skin is as smooth as jade, and it is impossible to see that she is a middle-aged lady.

When I first turned over the Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Zhen You Shi's pair, Jia Zhen didn't have to talk about him, there were few good male hosts in Jiafu, but You Shi was remarkable, this beautiful woman would also be a person, presiding over Wang Xifeng's birthday, and returned the silver that Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou, Ping'er and others had put together, although she had the intention of buying people's hearts, but her heart was not bad, and she had not done anything evil, it is true that You Shi was ridiculous, domineering, and dust-picking, and she couldn't do anything about it, is she to blame? Even if she has Wang Xifeng's strength, she doesn't have Wang Xifeng's maiden power, what can she do?

Looking at the main houses of Jia Yu, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong, Mrs. Xing, You Shi, and Qin Keqing, the backstage of their mother's family is not hard. Why? Obviously, in order to maintain their immorality, they did not want to be held hostage by their wives' families.

"The daughter-in-law wants to go back, and the in-laws are at home, why don't you ask Rong'er to send Brother Cong over by the way, what does the uncle think?" You picked up a few pine nuts in the plate, asked, knocked at the same time, and circled Jia Cong up and down with his eyes.

Jia Zhen groaned, he had coveted his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing's body for a long time, and he didn't want her to avoid it, but could Qin Keqing escape? That old immortal Qin Langzhong, there is no need to be afraid at all, in order to capture Qin Keqing, her boudoir should be furnished, fed, and clothed, all of which are extremely extravagant, and he has spent a lot of money...... When the time comes, Qin Keqing will definitely be half-pushed, otherwise how dare she open her mouth for this kind of thing? Even if she took out the credentials, she wouldn't be alive...... Tsk, the daughter-in-law's soft figure and world-class appearance...... Hey, hey, she can't escape!

Jia Zhen thought about it, and became more and more restless, You Shi asked again, Fang came back to his senses, nodded, and You Shi was silent in thought.

Jia Cong withdrew, ordered Sun Fu to put away the silver and the post, and asked, "Shopkeeper Zheng said that he found a storyteller, quite famous, what is it called?" ”

"Xu Ziting, close to Xuanwumen, tell the story well." Sun Fu replied.

Jia Cong secretly noted that this person might be useful in the future, and he went to make an appointment with Jia Rong before returning home.

Jia Rong came to the room to ask for peace, and when Jia Zhen went out, You Shi took a new package and instructed: "This is the twenty taels that I funded for Brother Cong, not counting the long house, it is regarded as a favor for me, and you give it to him on my behalf." ”

Jia Rong hesitated a little, secretly wondering: Why does mother value Uncle Cong so much!

You Shi didn't explain much, and thought: If Jia Cong succeeds in his career, then I will win the bet and will make a profit, and if Jia Cong's name falls to Sun Mountain, then twenty taels are not worth anything.

……

The rest of the days are really dull, without Wang Xifeng's constraints, the food supply has already improved, naturally a big family, Wang Xifeng, who was defeated and admitted defeat, between his sister-in-law and his brother-in-law, there is always a time to meet, if in private, Wang Xifeng still doesn't look at him squarely, if he is in front of Mrs. Jia Xing, he will inevitably talk and laugh, a group of harmony, better than his own sister and brother, Jia Cong has always been indifferent.

Why bother, it's just the idleness of the woman, he doesn't want to care, and he doesn't need to care about it now.

There is still someone to be in charge of the family in Xifu, Mrs. Wang is the prime minister, so she ordered Li Kun to help, and Tanchun occasionally carried it, so that Jia Cong listened to Jia Lan and said that Li Kun complained about him instead, Zhu's sister-in-law is a living Bodhisattva, and she doesn't want to offend people, and she won't meddle in things, but that's also angry talk, and it can't be true.

In the morning and evening, it is still safe, the morning is quiet, and the other is to repeat that rhythm: exercise for about an hour a day, in your own courtyard, and go to Dongfu Huifangyuan. Then practice the words, and then read the four books and five classics, be sure to roll the melon to be ripe, the important thing is the four books, and the book "Book of Songs", "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn" is just a cursory browsing, through a context.

It's always boring to repeat these, if people become numb, it's no different from the walking dead, the master of Chinese culture Wang Guowei said, "Into it, out of it", which means that you can drill in and jump out, fortunately Jia Cong is not an eight-year-old ignorant child on the outside, and he will not be framed by the doctrine of the sages.

A Western historian who compared the history of Rome with China said that China had all the reasons for the fall of Rome, but there was only one thing that Rome did not have: the electoral system.

Well, elections in ancient China seem to have merit.

However, I have to admit that the experience and ability of engaging in politics, serving as an official, and handling affairs were not learned from Baguwen.

Why are the officials of the Ming Dynasty so shrewd? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the ideas that have been trained in Baguwen.

Attacking people is Baoyu's interpretation flower, but Qingwen is not such a caring person after all, even if this kind of intimacy contains some kind of superior purpose, Qingwen is unwilling. But Jia Cong is very much like a magnet, he doesn't need to be friendly with him, as long as he doesn't offend him, he can always get along with others, look at you when he talks, remind you when he sleeps, and don't make noise when he gets up at night.

Teach her to read, Qingwen is not stupid, she can read and write "Sister I Sizhi (ambiguous I think)", Jia Cong can also play dominoes, know double-back, know Go, know how to fight birds, and know how to drink, she is unhappy, deliberately let her win a little, teach each other parrots to learn words, occasionally idle to water flowers, plant grass, write novels, boring days also have a bit of taste.

He would look at the starry sky at the grape trellis at night, and tell her what constellation it was, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, and said that there was no Wu Gang, no Chang'e, no Jade Rabbit on the moon, alas...... She didn't believe it anyway.

Sometimes he would sit quietly and think about things, like missing, missing, or worrying about something, Qingwen didn't understand much, and Sun Fu didn't understand it.

The second girl, the fourth girl, Miss Lin, Miss Bao, after all, and Baoyu are the closest, if it is not in a group, alone, they will never come, Qingwen remembers that once, Miss Bao and Master Cong, talking about Bagu article, Lao Zhuang culture, talking about Debao and the second master are asleep, Miss Lin is also impatient, Ping'er, Mandarin Duck has only been here once, these two are unusual, usually on behalf of Grandma Lian, the meaning of the old lady, but just looked at it, asked, nothing special.

In the ticking of the hourglass, in the sound of the self-singing in the other yards, Qingwen and him are diametrically opposed, she has no plan and vision for everything in the future, Le is a day by day, and she has no other way out.

Her life is a simple ink painting, monotonous in color, but freehand.

His life is full of fine brushwork, colorful, but it seems that something is missing.

"Journey to the West" tells us that if the Supreme Treasure does not wear a hoop spell, he cannot save Zixia Fairy, but once he wears a hoop spell, he cannot love Zixia Fairy and can only take the journey to the west.

Is there a perfect law in the world? Live up to it?

……

met Tanchun under the west flower wall of Li Kunyuan, the third sister trimmed her eyebrows and handsome eyes, with a slight tear stain, needless to say, Jia Congzhi was because of Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao seems to have no merits, she herself has monthly silver, she can't die of hunger, and her clothes are not tattered, but she has repeatedly asked her biological daughter Jia Tanchun, Tanchun has been raised by Mrs. Wang since she was a child, so she is very shy about being a biological mother, afraid that Aunt Zhao will affect her, and her concubine will be her eternal pain.

"Brother Huan." Jia Cong saw Jia Huan rushing out of Jia Lan's room, and Jia Huan was afraid of his own sister.

Jia Huan only couldn't hear it, but Tanchun didn't look at his younger brother, shook his skirt lightly, and entered with the sisters, Jia Huan caught a glimpse of Tanchun entering the room, so he dared to turn back, first glanced at it secretly, and stretched out his tongue rolled into two layers: "It turned out to be Brother Cong, who should I be, scare me, are you here to ask for silver from Sister-in-law Zhu?" ”

Am I as unbearable as you think, Jia Cong shook his head: "No, are you afraid of the third sister?" In fact, there is no need, if there is no ghost in your heart, are you still afraid that the ghost will knock on the door? Teach you a method, learn from me, if you are like me, the third sister will have nothing to say to you. ”

"Humph!" Jia Huan's eyes narrowed, turned his head and left: "Brother Cong, you have a long brain, you are more knowledgeable and knowledgeable, do you want to train me or show me?" Hum! Actually, it doesn't have to! ”

Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, this bear child is not saved, it seems that Wang Xifeng scolded well: he has a bad heart, and he complains about others' partiality.

Jia Lan should be the only man in Jiafu who has a good impression of Jia Cong, and taught him four books for a while, and Jia Cong went to the toilet to pay tribute.

When he returned, Jia Cong walked around the courtyard at will, walked for a while, the road became more and more cramped, like a backyard place, looked up, and saw that there were rows of drying racks, well, it should be a slurry washing area.

There are many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in Jiafu, and the sister-in-law of the mandarin duck is the pulp washing in Jia's mother's room.

Suddenly, a gust of wind hit, a little cool, Jia Cong was about to go back, he was blown a piece of cloth on his face, he touched it, the texture is extremely soft, it is the best silk, and there is a mature and soft fragrance, as if it is the body fragrance of a mature woman.

As soon as he threw away this bandeau shirt, Jia Cong turned his head and hurriedly left: "The wind is blowing wildly, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”

When people see it, it's a big mess.

Jia Cong only said hello to Jia Lan and went back.

Li Kun's girls Su Yun and Bi Yue went to pack their clothes, and saw a person hurrying over from a distance at the door of the lower room, picking up their bandeau breasts, and the two daughters were suspicious.

When he came back, Su Yun said gently: "Brother Lan, have you ever been to the place where the pulp is washed?" ”

"Nope." Jia Lan was stunned.

Biyue turned her face: "I look at that person's figure and actions, and they are the same as you, brother, you are not small, that is Grandma Zhu's personal ...... You don't know how to be taboo, so I'll go back to my grandmother carefully and punish you. ”

"No, just no." As soon as his mouth was flattened, Jia Lan was about to cry.
