Chapter 473: Fireside Gossip

Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion.

Tanchun Courtyard.

Due to an accident in the palace, the entire imperial palace fell into high-pressure tremors, and although it was the New Year's Festival, it was forbidden for the troupe to drink and feast.

It was extremely boring, and the girls in the house couldn't experience the wind and rain outside, so they took advantage of the time when Jia's mother, Aunt Xue and others wiped the dominoes, and gathered at the three girls to gossip.

It's not that she can't speak in other places, but she knows that Jia's mother doesn't like to talk about Jia Cong at home, so it's not good to say anything on the side.

Only the Tanchun house is spacious, and she can regulate people, no one dares to learn to talk more, so they love to run to her.

The room is covered with smoked cages, and the aroma is overflowing.

Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Xiangyun and Ping'er sat around the cage, and he was not annoyed without Baoyu's position, and sat on the chair with a smile.

In the corner, there is also a Jia ring that no one wants to deal with.

Although everyone thinks that Jia Huan is gradually getting better in his bones, but in the end, because he was raised by Aunt Zhao's side, the superficial habits are always difficult to change, and he still loves to take advantage of small things.

So no one gets tired of him anymore, but no one likes him either.

Today, Aunt Zhao saw that the sisters in the family were stubborn with her daughter, so she sent Jia Huan over, thinking that Tanchun would treat guests with good things in her private collection......

Come on, come on, in fact, it's nothing, they're all their own sisters, and they should be generous and laugh together.

I didn't know how Aunt Zhao taught Jia Huan, so he always felt that others looked down on him, so he shrunk his shoulders and hunched his back, and sat far away......

That disrespectful look fell in Tanchun's eyes, and he almost died of anger.

It was Baochai who persuaded her to be angry during the New Year, so she didn't train people.

Ke Baochai went to invite twice, but Jia Huan just shook his head.

The crowd had to assume that he did not exist......

Ping'er was originally reluctant to sit with several girls from the Jia family, but now no one treats her as a person, and they persuade her to sit down with a smile.

Although Baoyu regretted that such a beautiful girl with a beautiful blue heart followed Jia Cong, but the matter had come to this point, and he had nothing to do.

I only hope that Jia Cong can treat her well and not let down this bright flower......

He didn't have any thoughts about Ping'er, but he was willing to sincerely bless all the beautiful girls in this world......

The six girls stepped on the smoked cage in unison, and the six pairs of embroidered shoes looked good in a circle.

Tanchun looked at Baochai and Ping'er and said enviously: "Sister Bao and Sister Ping'er have really grown up and seen so many scenic characters along the way, Sister Bao still cares about such a big boat, hundreds of people ......"

Baochai is not a talker, and has always been stupid and clumsy, and does not like to show off, Tanchun They know her temperament, so they mainly ask Ping'er.

Ping'er naturally talked more about Baochai's goodness, and said that Baochai's operation when he went south was the icing on the cake, which was admirable.

Baochai was really embarrassed to be praised, and her face, which was as white as a lychee, flushed, and stopped: "Don't say it again, my sisters gossip, what do they say, people listen to it, and they don't know how to laugh at it." ”

Yingchun said with a smile: "No outsiders hear what is said here, no ...... than me" and said: "Miss Bao is amazing, Brother Cong is also bold, I really dare to entrust such a big boat to you, and I am not afraid of any mistakes." ”

Yingchun has always been gentle and amiable, but he has a wooden temperament and no wisdom, and although his words are not malicious, he is not very popular.

Although Baochai didn't mind, Tanchun quickly took over and said: "What did the second sister say, the third brother knows Sister Bao best, and knows that she has this ability, so he entrusted it to her, how could he go on a business trip?" ”

Yingchun came to his senses and hurriedly said to Baochai beside him: "I'm just a vernacular......

Baochai touched Yingchun's sideburns and said with a smile: "Don't listen to the three girls, your sisters can say whatever they want, who will be annoyed?" How can there be such a stingy ......"

When Yingchun heard this, he happily took Baochai's hand and said: "It's only Miss Bao who is so atmospheric, if it's Sister Lin, I'm afraid ......."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Tanchun glaring at her hard.

Yingchun wondered, what's wrong?

Following her gaze, I saw Baoyu sitting there.

Becoming more and more confused, Yingchun looked at Tanchun in a daze.

Tanchun had a "defeated by you" expression on his face, and Xiangyun and the others giggled together.

Xiangyun reminded: "Sister Ai, if you say that Sister Lin is stingy in front of your brother, he will be annoyed with you!" ”

When Yingchun heard this, she hurriedly looked at Baoyu and wanted to say that she had no bad intentions......

Baoyu smiled and said: "Don't listen to Yun'er chewing her tongue, just say it, what is it worth?" But he still added in a whisper: "Don't say it in front of her in the future." ”

Yingchun laughed with everyone.

Jia Huan, who was hiding far away in the corner, was looking at Baoyu with slanted eyes at this moment. But he didn't dare to keep staring, he was extremely careful, and he immediately took it back when he saw it, and then looked at it again......

sneered proudly in his heart: Baoyu, Baoyu, are you afraid that you don't know, you can write a letter to the third brother, but the third brother lives in Sister Lin's house, so I can also write to Sister Lin!

Hehe, Bao Er, look at you all day long and don't look at you all day long, you're finished! Look at my guilt if I don't sue you!

But no one around the cage had the heart to look at him, Xiangyun asked vigorously, and he couldn't ask Baochai and Ping'er about their daily lives on the boat.

Listening to Ping'er, every morning when you open the window on the third floor of the boat, you can see the sun rising from the end of the river, and the morning glow is connected with the water, and you can't see where the sky is and where the water is, and the same is true at night, or even more beautiful.

This makes a group of girls who have hardly been out of the second door full of envy, they are all people who are used to reading poetry and books, but they can only imagine such beautiful scenery.

Tanchun's eyes were confused, he lowered his head and sighed, and said: "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky." The fishing boat sings at night, ringing on the shore of the poor Peng Li, the geese are frightened, and the sound is broken in Hengyang...... Such beauty, I don't know if my boudoir daughter will be lucky enough to see it in this life. ”

Seeing that she looked lonely, Baochai knew that Tanchun had great ambitions, but because she was a daughter's family and a concubine, she was trapped here.

So he smiled and said: "How old are you, where is your life?" The sisters in the family belong to you and Brother Cong, you open your mouth and lie coquettishly, can he still take you out to see and understand? You shouldn't complain the least, and I've never seen a girl talk about her brother all day long, and she's very close at home......"

Tanchun was ashamed when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to fight with Baochai across Yingchun, and shouted with a smile: "The third brother and I are the best?" Hurry up and call the sisters to judge, there is a girl who has not yet entered my house, and the third brother has already entrusted such a big family business...... Ouch! This sister-in-law is really powerful, she dared to beat her sister-in-law before she passed the door! ”

Baochai was about to teach Tanchun a lesson, but heard a loud laugh from the yard outside the window: "Who is so good that you dare to beat your sister-in-law without passing the door?" God is pitiful, teach me two tricks, save me from being bullied by this room of sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law all day long! ”

Baochai took her hand, and the girls got up to greet her, and saw Sister Feng wearing a narrow sleeve jacket with red satin with a hundred butterflies, covered with a colorful carved silk stone blue and silver mouse gown, and a jade flower-sprinkled crepe skirt, and came in with a few little girls.

Baochai smiled: "It's strange that Dao Feng'er always said that Feng Yatou is very annoying, where is the excitement where she goes, our sisters are talking here in a dignified manner, what are you doing here?" ”

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Phew! The girl will never say this, you must be the one who sow discord...... Oh, it's really not easy for me to be a sister-in-law, a room of sisters-in-law hasn't been appeased properly, and there is a more difficult concubine to deal with! And you can read and write and compose poems, I can't hear you scolding me when you get together and turn around, that's it, I can't help you? For my babament's sake, forgive me for what I have done! ”

Laughing, let the little girls open the food box and take out more than a dozen stacks of delicacies.

Such as red jujube black chicken soup, lettuce soup, jade bean cake, winter bamboo shoots and magnolia slices, chicken pith bamboo shoots, crispy duck, chicken soup and sea mussels, auspicious ruyi rolls, etc.

It is all made according to the preferences and tastes of the girls of the Jia family.

Tanchun and the others were embarrassed to see it, and hurriedly invited Sister Feng to sit down and eat together.

Sister Feng smiled: "I don't have such a blessing as you, the ancestors are still waiting for someone to serve, although there is a mess outside this year, there are still mothers-in-law who give gifts in various houses, and my wife also wants me to help." Alright, don't disturb your Yaxing, and you can continue to be happy. ”

After that, he pressed back Ping'er, who got up and wanted to leave with him, and then left with seven or eight little girls.

After Sister Feng left, the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the sumptuous luncheon, but no one had any appetite.

After a long while, Xiangyun was the first to hold back, and asked angrily: "Second Brother Lian will be like that in the future?" Old ladies, they don't care? Baoyu, what did Mrs. say? ”

Baoyu sighed and shook his head silently.

Although he was extremely sympathetic to Wang Xifeng, he didn't dare to ask these things in front of Mrs. Wang, let alone take care of them.

He is still like this, not to mention the other girls in this room.

Baochai knows more than others, she heard Aunt Xue say that since Wang Xifeng went to Jinyiwei Town Fusi last year, in the hearts of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, she is not the same as before.

Moreover, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng have been married for several years, but they have not come out.

Unfilial piety has three no queens, and the first of seven is no queen.

Jia Lian can't be humane anymore in the future, Jia's mother didn't help but be angry that Wang Xifeng was too domineering at the beginning, and even Jia Lian was not allowed to ask for it at home, so she couldn't leave her bloodline.

Therefore, for Jia Lian to be indifferent to Wang Xifeng, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang turned a blind eye and didn't care.

Jia Lian promised them that he would not let the woman and child outside enter the door, and he would continue to do it in terms of face.

In this case, as long as he can get by on the surface, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang will not be harsh on him.

After all, a twisted melon is not sweet.

So they couldn't count on it, and after a while, Baoyu Xu didn't want the atmosphere to be so dull, he suddenly glanced at Xiao Qi, who had been standing behind Ping'er, and grinned at Ping'er: "Good sister, can you give me this girl?" I look at her interestingly, there is no such thing in my room, you send her to me, and I will pay you two back! As he spoke, he reached out to shake Xiao Qi's little hand and said, "Let me go, I have a good rouge there to give you a beautiful ......."

Ping'er was stunned when she heard this request, and didn't see Baoyu's actions behind, so she heard Baochai say urgently: "Brother Bao, let go!" Ping'er was surprised, so she heard Baochai shouting again: "Xiao Qi, don't do it!" ”

But it was already too late, Xiao Qi clenched a fist the size of a bun, and he had already punched at Dengzi.

However, he finally heard Baochai's scream, narrowly avoided his face, and punched Baoyu in the shoulder.

Then everyone heard a "bang", and Baoyu flew out upside down with a chair, falling to the ground and unable to get up......

A room full of girls and maids screamed, only Jia Huan, whose eyes almost didn't pop out, looked at the puffing little seven with admiration......

……

Yangzhou Mansion, Yanzheng Yamen Middle Hall.

Jia Cong, who was faintly pale, was wearing a fox fur, leaning on the Nanmu chair on the main seat in the middle, looking at Wei Chen, Han Tao and Yao Yuandao: "That's the thing, the matter of that Portuguese nobleman, sooner rather than later, one day later will have one more accident." Now that the shelves of Jinyiwei have just been erected, I also wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Festival to take a lazy rest for a few days. But...... We are now on our own, and we have to guard against blows from the side. ”

Seeing that his face was gloomy, holding his forehead with one hand and pinching his eyebrows, with a rare bit of decadence on his face, Han Tao asked carefully: "My lord, this change is related to Furong Gongzi?" ”

Jia Cong's eyes lifted, frowned, and asked, "What have you heard?" ”

Han Tao hesitated, and it could be seen that Jia Cong's eyes were cold, so he said: "The adults taught Zhan Peng and Guo Teamzheng a lesson last night, and they can see that the adults are because they didn't stop the Furong Prince...... It wasn't bright this morning, and Son Furong left with someone angry......"

Jia Cong looked at Han Tao with a calm gaze, but in the end, he nodded slowly, his eyes swept over the guilty Zhan Peng and the blank Guo Yun, and then said: "The hall is not an outsider, Han and Yao, the two pacification envoys, know best how lucky we are to be able to rebuild the Jinyi Guard." You're the ones who went through that incident......"

Hearing this, Han Tao and Yao Yuan's faces turned faintly pale and nodded.

After Jia Cong glanced at the two of them, he continued: "It is undeniable that Jinyiwei can be rebuilt, except for the Son of Heaven Longwei, I am indeed stained with the light of the Furong Gongzi, with her help, and treat me as a friend, so many forces that we couldn't resist at the beginning didn't rain a thunderous blow."

I'll admit that without this help, we wouldn't have been able to do much, if not as powder.

I am grateful to her, but public is public and private is private.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I can't abolish the public for personal reasons. At the station of Jinyiwei, let it drive straight in.

Jinyiwei is not mine, let alone hers, this is a matter of strict imperial authority, and it is a matter of principle.

I can't be used as a favor.

Now that I have offended her, the barrier between the military and the Jinyi guard will be gone.

It's okay in Jiangnan now, but once he returns to Beijing, Jinyiwei's situation will become extremely complicated and even bad.

You must understand that among the nobles, the civil ministers, and the brocade guards, it is difficult for His Majesty to favor us.

After all, they are all His Majesty's courtiers, and we can't use these troubles to embarrass Your Majesty.

Therefore, we must do everything we can to strengthen Jinyiwei as soon as possible.

In this way, after returning to Beijing, Jinyiwei can deal with himself surrounded by strong enemies, share worries for the king, and do his duty.

Wei Chen, Han Tao, Yao Yuan, after I lead people south, the three of you will temporarily move the Jinyi Wei Yamen to the Yangzhou Baihu Office to maintain the overall situation of the Jinyi Wei Yamen.

It will be a month, a month and a half, and I will return.

I hope that this can open up a financial resource that can grow rapidly for my Jinyiwei! ”

"I wish you all the best of luck here!"
