Chapter 352: Letter from Jiangnan

The rain in early summer didn't stop until the evening. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe rain was pouring in the courtyard. In the bright living room, candles were lit, and Jia Huan, Daiyu, Aunt Pei and others were eating together, occasionally losing their minds.

Qingwen, Ruyi, Zijuan, and Raider were on another table next to them. Jia Huan didn't talk much, and the atmosphere in the living room was a little dull.

Daiyu's clear eyes, Yingying's eyes, her eyes were shining, and she asked, "Third brother, Miss Su said that she was going to Yangzhou soon, will you go?" ā€

After Su Shishi went out of Jia Huan's study in the afternoon, she went to see Daiyu again, informed her of her itinerary and apologized. She only gave Daiyu a few days of "music lessons". It was interrupted because of the Oiran Tournament. Now it's all kinds of socializing. In the near future, she is going to return to the capital. She has time in the capital, but Daiyu lives in Rongguo Mansion, and with her status, I'm afraid she won't be able to get in.

Jia Huan said: "I'll go to Songjiang." Is there anything I need to bring with my sister? ā€

Jia Huan replied to the question. "Giggles!" The hall erupted in a burst of laughter. Daiyu smiled narrowly. Aunt Pei shook her head with a gentle smile. Qingwen and Ruyi covered their mouths and smiled. Zijuan smiled and stroked his chest and called "belch", and the attacker also lowered his head and chuckled.

Everyone knows that Su Shishi has been here in the afternoon. The third master didn't answer the question, I'm afraid it has something to do with Miss Su, right? It's just that you can get distracted when you eat?

Jia Huan reacted, rubbed his eyebrows with a wry smile, and said, "Sister Lin..."

He was still wondering in his heart what Su Shishi thought? As a result, Daiyu was keenly aware of it and made a joke.

He is not an emotional first brother. But taking the initiative to give a fragrant kiss to a big beauty is still very touching and dark. Su Shishi should be the most grateful component. However, this beautiful kiss will probably be remembered by him for many years!

He will not have the idea of "hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house" because of Su Shishi's kiss. He disdained to do such a thing. It depends on the meaning of the girl. The point is that he doesn't know what Su Shishi means!

How much he admired Su Shishi before, and how much he has a good impression now. He would also like to sit down with her for a while. It's just that he doesn't have time to talk about feelings now. Moreover, Su Shishi is about to leave Jinling and return to the capital after going around the major cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will not return north until a year later.

What is the future of his relationship with Su Shishi, it is estimated that it depends on fate.

I thought of Su Shishi's look back before leaving, beautiful and unprovoked: Shishi wished the third master to win the championship in spring. It's just that where is the champion so easy to test? That is to ignore the hundreds of thousands of scholars in the country.

Jia Huan smiled in his heart, and while Daiyu and the others were there, he announced, "I'm going to Songjiang Mansion in two days." I'll be back in about a month. You're doing well at home. There is something to tell Yuan Bo to do. ā€

After writing back to Jiafu, he now has to do his second goal in Jiangnan: to leave a way back. He had almost more than 6,000 taels of silver on hand, and those two or three thousand taels were enough to buy a house and land in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

…

In mid-May, when the results, lyrics, and rumors of the Oiran Contest in Jinling were slowly circulating in various parts of the Yangtze River, the Jia family sent to Suzhou to hire teachers, buy girls, and buy musical instruments. Only 6,000 taels of silver were spent on the 50,000 taels of silver in hand.

No way. The third master of Huan said that he was only allowed to take one percent of the benefit fee, and no one dared to mess around. Huan Sanye is in Jiangnan, how much does a girl who sings in Suzhou sell, can he not know?

However, the accompanying single group was quite resentful in their hearts, and said a few strange words from time to time. However, the two sons of Jia Lian's nurse Zhao Mama, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong, are more honest and do not arch fire. The two of them finally had the opportunity to do things after the old lady begged the second grandmother, and it was the first time they came out, and their psychological expectations were relatively low.

It was the rainy season in Gangnam, and it rained for several days in a row. Jia Qiang changed her clothes, dressed as a scholar, and followed with a subordinate, out of the rented courtyard, and went to the city to relax.

Stop and stop all the way, and when I was tired, I found a large-scale tea garden on the street to eat tea and listen to the play. I didn't sit down and rest for a while, when Xiao Dan came out, and he trembled when he opened his mouth and sang in his voice, and he listened to it as soon as he heard it, "

It turned out that the purple and red were all over the place, and they all seemed to be paid to the broken wells. The beautiful scenery of the good day is the day, whose courtyard is the pleasure? ā€

sang a play "Dream in the Garden" in Tang Xianzu's immortal masterpiece "Peony Pavilion", which is very widely circulated in the Jiangnan region.

"That's it." The girl who sang the song bought seven, seven, eight, eight. There was still one of the heaviest Xiao Dan, Jia Qiang listened for a while, and ordered: "You go and inquire about the meaning of the off-duty master, and say that our house wants to buy girls who teach and sing." ā€

"Second Master Qiang, don't worry, what is the reputation of our family, say that someone is unwilling to go?" The servant smiled and went.

After singing a play, Jia Qiang went to the hall in the backyard of the tea garden to meet the class master under the leadership of his subordinates. The hall was dimly lit and damp, and there were piles of props and costumes of various troupes. There were a few little girls busy.

The head of the class is a man in his fifties, his face is very old, and after seeing the ceremony, he said: "We are in a simple place, so I won't invite my son to tea." I heard that Childe's entourage said that Childe's family wanted to buy people. Yue'er is the big horn of our troupe, and our team all points to her for dinner, and they definitely won't go to the capital with you. ā€

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "Uncle, how about I give 1,000 taels of silver?" ā€

The class leader shook his head.

Jia Qiang gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give 2,000 taels." "Although he is young, he has been in Suzhou for so long, and he has figured out the basic things. The most important thing for a troupe is Xiaosheng and Xiaodan. As long as there are girls in the theater troupe in the house, then Xiao Dan is the top priority. Only by choosing a good Xiaodan can this errand be considered a good one.

The class owner was stunned, hesitated for a while, and pointed to a little girl in the corner and said, "If the son is willing, I will sell Xiao Man'er to you." She is the person in my team who will be able to take over Yue'er's status in the future. The drama is excellent. ā€

Jia Qiang went to see the little girl: her eyebrows were frowning, her eyes were autumn, her face was thin and her waist was slim, and she was curling. Looking at her stubborn expression when she wanted to cry but didn't cry, something seemed to be touched in her heart.

"Deal."

Five days later, Jia Qiang and his entourage took the twelve girls they bought, and five or six to teach, musical instruments, and a number of Suzhou embroidery costumes, and rented a boat to go north.

Jia Qiang took the time to go to the cabin to talk to Xiao Man'er, "What is your stage name on stage?" ā€

"Ling Guan."

…

On May 22, Jia Huan took Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi down the river to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. He didn't tell the family what he was going out for. He only informed the mountain chief, Ji Ming, Zhang Chengjian and others that he was going to go out. The time is about a month.

While Jia Huan was preparing for his own retreat, he sent a letter from Jinling to the capital to deliver to Jiafu in the middle of the leap month.

At this time, the news that the Zhen family in Jiangnan had a deficit of about two million taels of silver in Jiangnan weaving had already spread in some circles in the capital.

If Zhen Yingjia was just a royal agent, his deficit case would not have much attention. Recently, there have been more places to go to the deficit. The point is that the Zhen family is a close confidant of the emperor and the father-in-law of the prince.

After 12 years of the Emperor's reign, marked by the abolition of the South Study in the 11th year of Yongzhi, he has completely mastered the power of the government. Today's attitude towards the old people of the Emperor Taishang period is not a secret. Didn't the previous imperial prince Mr. Longjiang be idle for almost ten years? That's Hanlin, the son of Zaifu of the former dynasty, and the recognized prime minister. In the past ten years, how many ministers have been deposed, exiled, and confiscated?

Therefore, the cronies of the Emperor Taishang, who will be seventy years old this autumn, are insignificant. The most important thing is the latter identity: the prince's father-in-law.

If the Zhen family is copied, will the crown prince's position be shaken? and the prince and his mother, King Jin, are eyeing each other. Unless the princess of heaven is abolished first, the influence on the crown prince can be exempted. But in all dynasties, there are very few allusions to the abolition of the crown princess.

The Zhen family will be punished in no more than three years. The Zhen family has lost too much. The Son of Heaven only has a million taels of gold and silver a year. And in the past three years, I am afraid that there will be open and secret battles. The princes of the temple had to pay attention.

In the evening, the magnificent Jia Mansion began to be lit up. In the inner house, clusters of lights dispersed the darkness. The most lively place is where Jia's mother goes to the house. The relatives gather here and have a meal. Not far from the inner courtyard, you can still hear the movement of the provincial villa who is working overtime.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, Li Kun, Baoyu, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun talked about the topic of provincial villas here after dinner. This is the biggest thing in Jiafu right now.

Jia Mu suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see the master come in today?" ā€

During today's dinner, Jia Zheng did not send food in. The mandarin duck was wearing a diamond-white cardigan, and said with a smile: "Back to the ancestor, I heard from the little maid that the eldest lord, the old man and the uncle Rong of the East Mansion are discussing in the Rongxi Hall. ā€

Jia Mu was slightly strange.

Wang Xifeng observed the words and added, "Ancestor, Brother Huan has written back from Jinling. It's just that there was a bit of a depressed look on her pretty face.

Jia Huan's letter was not a pleasant experience for her. A month ago, Jia Huan sent someone to deliver a letter back from Jinling. In addition to the letter to the lord saying that he refused to let the eldest girl in the palace speak for Zhen's mansion, there was another letter for her.

Of course, the recipient is her husband Jia Lian. Jia Huan reprimanded her verbally in the letter, demanding that she immediately stop helping others to matchmake and cover the lawsuit. Even her husband, who was reading the letter, took advantage of this excuse to tell her through. It made her very shameless.

Jia Mu nodded, no longer asked, didn't want to ask.

…

The important meeting place of the Jia family, the main hall of Rongguofu Middle Road, and the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng, Jia Yu, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong were sitting. The letter of Jia Huan brought by Jia Zheng is spreading. The suggestion is clear: break off relations with the Zhen family. (To be continued.) )
