Chapter 170: Empress E's Daughter, the blessing of all people
Jia Cong went back to the house and asked Qingwen to send the engraved copy of the butterfly costume, Qingwen was surprised: "So much, how can I hold it alone, call Xiaohong and Xiangling, you go yourself, and send it separately." β
"Okay." Jia Cong waited for them to finish dividing, and hugged a few books by himself, but in fact, there were not so many books, and each of them had a collection of their own poems, but he just wanted them to go in and play.
The Qinfang Bridge Pavilion is framed with two upper and lower couplets made by Jia Baoyu: the willows around the embankment borrow three penny emeralds, and the flowers on the other bank are divided into a vein of incense.
Entering the bridge pavilion in the sky, Xiangling kept looking around, "When will my sister be promoted to aunt?" β
"If a girl in the room has an heir, she can be an aunt." Qingwen wore flowers and willows and looked back at her: "What are you asking for?" Do you want to be an aunt too? But you're a stupid person, hard-working, and it's competent to make a room for him, unlike me, who is clumsy. β
"Don't say such things, how can I have a good sister." Xiangling's stride is graceful, and her eyes are innocent.
"Let's go to the second girl and the third girl first, and let him go to Miss Lin by himself."
Jia Cong then came into Cuizhang, and heard the singing sound of the Lixiang Courtyard on the right, the music was long, look at the first engraved book is the nearest Xiaoxiang Pavilion, after the apricot yin, willow leaf Zhu road, to the boundary of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, on both sides of the green bamboo sandwich road, moss covered with stone steps, a sheep intestine path, stone paving, Jia Cong shouted outside the door, "The book has arrived".
Zijuan lifted the curtain and came out, took the book and went in to reply, and Shaoqing came out again and said, "The girl asked the master to go in and sit down." β
"Then have a cup of tea." Jia Cong went up the steps, there was a corridor on both sides, and there were bird cages and handkerchiefs hanging under the corridor, and when he walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he felt that it was as cool as water, and the spotted bamboo and plantain blocked the sight on all sides, the cold wind was blowing, quiet and quiet, and the sound of water flowing in the southeast could be heard.
Lin Daiyu touched the bow on the engraved book, and was generally satisfied, seeing that the crystallization of her thoughts was reflected in another way in the book, full of a sense of achievement, "How is this paper made?" β
"It's the kind of bamboo outside your window, mixed with the tree, not satisfied?" It was the first time Jia Cong had entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but it was not easy to look carefully, "The best ones made of cotton and hemp are higher." β
"What's the matter, why bother, it's your own private money." Lin Daiyu sat small and exquisite, raised her eyes to look at Jia Cong a few times, and suddenly remembered that when she went south that year, her father asked her, if she agreed at that time, the person in front of her would ...... Maybe it's her fiancΓ©, since she and Baochai have released their suspicions, she is not so demanding of Baoyu, it seems that there is nothing bad about Jia Cong, at least it makes people feel dependent......
"The handwriting carved out is not very elegant, and it is not as good as your writing."
"That's it, the carved book is glued and solidified, as long as the Midyear Festival is often dried, carefully cared for, enough to be passed down for hundreds of years. Since the first piece, bamboo slips, and cloth, paper is the best way for us to learn the news of our ancestors, and it is indispensable. β
Lin Daiyu's upper and lower lips were slightly misplaced: "You took it to the workshop and sold it?" β
Jia Cong touched his nose, embarrassed, he couldn't say it clearly, he didn't say anything.
"I don't blame you, they don't know who made it, and the miscellaneous books I read have a kind of signature without a name or surname. It's just that if there is a review, you can bring it in and I'll take a look. Lin Daiyu's affectionate eyes flowed.
Jia Cong is embarrassed, this is a naΓ―ve little girl, although Lin Daiyu is very smart, but she doesn't know what is going on outside, she is also fourteen this year, and it is not uncommon to marry at this age in ancient times, Jia Cong is about to retire, Zijuan reported, Qingwen and Xiangling ran in, Qingwen clapped her hands and said: "It's all gone, Master Cong is still here, Miss Bao rewarded two dollars, let's take a look, why did the master delay, yo, it turned out that Zijuan was too beautiful." β
Zijuan smiled: "Feelings, you are worried that your grandfather was abducted, why did you catch me." β
"Good sister, I didn't say you, I said the parrot outside the window." After Qingwen finished speaking, Zijuan glanced at her, Lin Daiyu asked to sit for a while, Xiangling was happy when she came here, and half-squatted down to grab Lin Daiyu's poetry collection to read.
"If you want to say stupid, it's still me, Miss Bao is right, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and she has made poems and books, and it is useless." Xiangling frowned, and the rouge mole in the center of her eyebrows seemed to be moving, "Catch Ming'er to learn needlework from Sister Qingwen, and Miss Lin will do it." β
"That's what you have nothing to do, to pass the time, to say it's useless, it's not all, isn't it making money?" Jia Cong said.
Xiangling was worried: "The old lady knows, what should you do." β
"Miss Lin said, if you are not dumb or deaf, and if you don't be a master, the old lady will pretend not to know." As soon as Jia Cong said, Lin Daiyu smiled: "After I returned to Beijing, you went to Wu County?" β
"Well, Mudu is just north of Shengze." Jia Cong got up to leave, Zijuan's eyes turned around, and he thought about it secretly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and when they lifted the bamboo curtain and went out, Lin Daiyu said hatefully: "What are you laughing at?" β
"I'm happy for the girl, you and Bao Erye, there are times when you laugh and are intimate, but there are also times when you are angry and hurt, especially when you dip in the Qing Void View, the reward of the concubine Niangniang, only the second master Bao is the same as Miss Bao's, and the second master Bao still thinks about Miss Shi, Baba's hidden unicorn, but it is not that he has this, he forgot that...... At least ...... At least it didn't make the girl sad. Zijuan said casually.
Lin Daiyu flipped through the book and was silent.
β¦β¦
Qingwen and Xiangling followed Jia Cong back on the left and right, Xiangling and Jia Cong got along for a long time, and felt that they were several times better than Xue Pan, and secretly felt lucky, Qingwen was also different from what Jia Cong was worried about, Qingwen was more explosive, after all, she was a girl, and she was not stimulated, this girl was quite obedient, so that Jia Cong tasted the taste of a little couple for the first time.
"Uncle Cong." The handsome Jia Qiang came out of the door of Lixiangyuan and said hello, Jia Cong said, "Come to see Ling Guan again?" β
"Yes, she is sick and sad, and she bought a finch for her to play with for a few taels of silver, and she told me to let it go." Jia Qiang is not taboo, it is not a big deal to linger in the drama, and he is also a seed of infatuation.
The uncle and nephew chatted a few words and separated, and when they left the garden gate, Jia Cong thought about it and said, "Xiangling, why don't you come in and sleep with us tonight?" β
"Hmm......" Xiangling agreed dumbly, and then said, "Huh? β
Qingwen gritted her teeth: "How is it?" If you want to sleep, you will sleep with you, don't catch me. β
Jia Cong was dumbfounded, it seems that it is impossible for the three of them to share a bed, and then look at Xiangling, bow her head, bite her red lips with her teeth, that look of shame and Na Na, which makes Jia Cong look pleasing to the eye, he sighed: "Didn't you say that Empress E's daughter Ying is a beautiful talk?" The books are all deceitful, and the blessings of Qi people are not easy to enjoy......"
β¦β¦
The next day, I went to Rongqing Hall to ask for peace, Jia Cong saw that the mandarin ducks were not as interested as before, they were all forced by Jia Yu, the sisters were talking about the engraved book, they were all very satisfied, Jia Baoyu was not jealous of this, Jia's mother's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and Amber came in and replied: "There was a wall on the east road, and the eldest lady was scared ......."
Jia Mu was shocked: "How could a good wall collapse?" β
The mandarin duck hurriedly supported the old ancestor, and Amber explained: "Don't worry, old lady, it's okay, the people from the yamen said that they should prepare a memorial arch first." β
"What torii?" Jia Mu was strange.
"It is said that it is the archway of Jinshi, this will be spread outside, Master Cong will try, called Gongshi, next month to enter the palace to see Long Live Lord, to participate in the court examination, the court examination is over, it is Jinshi."
"How many hits?" Jia Mu looked at Jia Cong in disbelief, and the room was quiet.
