Chapter Forty-Eight: Provincial Relatives

In the evening, Jia Lian went to the Beijing Palace, and sure enough, it was the King of Beijing who inquired in many ways because of the cement factory and promised heavy profits, but in the end Jia Lian still passed the buck. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, now that King Beijing has opened his mouth, the other wealthy predators who want to come to Kyoto who are well-informed are also about to make a move, and who makes Jia Lian now famous and has a way to make money.

Fortunately, this year's end is approaching, and it is not far from the day of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

So Jia Lian had to call himself sick to the outside world, and sat at home every day and no longer went out to socialize.

Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian was only messing around at home every day, and was very puzzled, and asked: "What's wrong with our second master, don't be deflated that day by the sister-in-law of Muni Courtyard, this will be angry and sick, and she won't go out to be happy." ”

It turned out that Wang Xifeng only knew that Jia Lian personally went to Muni Monastery that day to invite a female Taoist priest named Miaoyu, and heard that this female Taoist priest was cultivating with hair, and the color was excellent, so he became jealous.

Jia Lian didn't want to explain the reason for her fake illness with her, so she immediately put Wang Xifeng on the first floor and said: "My Feng'er is jealous again, I said where did I get up this morning with such a big vinegar smell, it turned out that Feng'er's vinegar jar was overturned." ”

Ping'er on the side heard this, and couldn't help but laugh 'poof'.

"Phew~" Wang Xifeng glanced at Ping'er first, and then continued to Jia Lian: "You have no conscience, it's not enough for me and Ping'er to guard you, there is still this Lin girl hanging over there, or is she still dissatisfied, but now even the sister-in-law has to hook up, and even beat me up and said I'm jealous, do you want me to give way and make room for those people behind you?" ”

Facing Wang Xifeng's sprinkling, Jia Lian could only beg with kind words: "Feng'er is talking about this, I can guard you and Ping'er is the greatest favor of God, I just want to grow old with you, stay together for a lifetime, and don't say anything about these things in the future." ”

In the end, Wang Xifeng was still moved by Jia Lian's sentence: Growing old together and staying for a lifetime, but finally muttered: "It sounds good, what about Sister Lin?" ”

Jia Lian suddenly had to answer embarrassedly: "Then, it was an accident, an accident." ”

Just when Wang Xifeng was about to continue to attack Jia Lian, someone came back at the moment, and the provincial villa was waiting for the pasted yarn, and asked Wang Xifeng to open the building to pick yarn.

As soon as he finished explaining this, someone went back and forth, asking Wang Xifeng to open the warehouse and collect the gold and silver utensils.

Wang Xifeng saw that he had something to do, so he had to let go of Jia Lian for the time being and go to his own first.

However, Jia Lian also did not be idle, and all the supervisors paid their accounts; All antiques and cultural toys have been fully furnished; Those who purchase birds, such as cranes, peacocks, deer, rabbits, chickens, geese, etc., have all been bought, and handed over to the scenery in the park to raise, etc., all of which must be dispatched by Jia Lian.

Together with the inappropriateness pointed out by Jia Zheng last time, they were also revised one by one, and Jia Lian invited Jia Mu Jia Zheng and others to enter the garden, and they were carefully considered and decorated, and there were no omissions or improprieties.

So Jia Zheng wrote a notebook to ask for the province.

The emperor was in charge of the court: on the fifteenth day of the first month of the following year, Concubine Jia was provincial.

Jia Zheng received this grace, and the whole Jia Mansion became more and more idle day and night, but I am afraid that there is still something missing, and the year has never been good.

Jia Lian also took advantage of the fact that there were many things in the house, and all the New Year's greetings outside were postponed, and he only said that he would make up for it afterwards, thinking that everyone knew that the imperial concubine of Jiafu returned to the province to pro-family, and most of them would not be picky.

At the same time, Jia Lian also received New Year's gifts from Sanchun, Xue Baochai, and Lin Daiyu this year, or the four treasures of the study, or a small ornament sewn by himself, which is always a heart.

So Jia Lian also personally selected a few ornaments from Persia, and the exotic style really won everyone's love.

In this way, it soon came to the fifteenth day of the first month, and the two mansions of Ningrong had lords since Jia's mother, and they all wore makeup according to their uniforms.

Jia Lian accompanied Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and others outside the West Street Gate, and Jia's mother and other daughters waited outside the gate of Rongfu.

From the Imperial Palace to the Rongguo Mansion, the streets and alleys are surrounded by fences, and there are a large number of guards on duty.

After the end of the day, in the support of countless eunuchs and palace maids, eight eunuchs carried a gold-topped golden embroidered phoenix plate and walked slowly. Jia Yu Jia Zheng led the Jia clan to kneel outside the West Street Gate to greet them.

Yuan Chun did not get off the sedan chair, only the eunuch announced the exemption, Jia pardon Jia Zheng led the clansmen to retreat aside, and Yuan Chun's honor guard passed slowly.

The guard of honor arrived outside Rongguo's mansion again, and Jia Mu and others hurriedly knelt down to greet them.

Although Yuan Chun still didn't get out of the sedan chair this time, a eunuch immediately helped Jia Mu and others up.

After that, in the Rongguo Mansion, everyone had seen a ceremony, and then sure enough, everyone accompanied Yuanchun to visit the garden.

And Jia Lian and Jia Amnesty Jia Zheng stood in the outer courtyard, always ordering the maid to go inside to listen to the news, lest there be anything wrong.

This Yuanchun is really like in the original book, and he is very kind to Jia Baoyu, and he is very happy when he hears that most of the inscriptions in the garden are from Jia Baoyu's handwriting.

Along the way, I took a closer look, climbed the pavilion, waded through the waterside mountain, and wandered in every way. Everywhere is different, and the piles are embellished with novelty. Yuan Chunji praised and advised: "Don't be too extravagant in the future, this is too much." ”

Then sure enough, the word "Tinghua Hui" only left the word "Huahui", the four words of "Tianxian Treasure Realm" were changed to the four words of "Provincial Villa", "Youfeng Laiyi" was named "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", "Red Fragrance Green Jade" was changed to "Yihong Kuailu" and "Yihong Yuan", "Zhi Qingfen" was named "Wuyuan", "Apricot Curtain in Sight" was named "Huange Villa", the east flying building was called "Jin Pavilion", and the west oblique building was called "Hanfang Pavilion"; The name of the leaf Zhu', at this time will not be expressed one by one, and finally the main building is called 'Daguan Building'.

The eunuch listened to Feichuan and Jia Zheng. When Jia Zheng heard this, he hurriedly changed.

After visiting the garden, everyone went to Jia's mother's main room, Yuanchun wanted to perform a family ceremony at this time, and Jia's mother and others knelt down.

Yuan Chun held Jia's mother with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other, and said a few words to Mrs. Xing, Li Kun, Wang Xifeng, Ying, Tan, and Xi three sisters on the side, and then summoned Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.

At this time, Jia Zheng greeted him outside the curtain, and Yuan Chun was able to say a few words to his biological father.

After Yuan Chun finished talking to Jia Zheng, he really summoned Jia Baoyu, and to Jia Lian's surprise, Yuan Chun summoned him with him this time.

Jia Lian After Jia Baoyu followed the little eunuch and Guoli to meet Yuan Chun, Jia Lian saw his cousin with his own eyes.

I saw that Yuan Chunsheng was really dignified and beautiful, graceful and luxurious, and his demeanor was full of manners.

At this time, Yuan Chun had already finished talking to Jia Baoyu dotingly, and turned to Jia Lian and said: "Although I am in the deep palace, I have also heard of the name of Brother Lian, honeycomb coal is convenient for thousands of households, and the royal soap has been praised by the saint!" Not only that, I thought that the Lian brothers didn't like to read, and only loved the creation of strange things, but they didn't think about it, and the book "A Chinese Ghost Story" promoted the name of the Lian brothers Yixiang Gongzi. ”

Jia Lian replied: "Thank you Niangniang for your praise, Lian is ashamed and doesn't dare to be, and when he was young, he did a lot of nonsense, and now he is just slowly reforming himself, and he doesn't dare to tarnish the prestige of my Rongguo Mansion."

Yuan Chun nodded after hearing this, and continued: "It is naturally excellent that you can think like this, and it will depend on your brothers for my Jia clan to develop in the future." ”

Jia Lian replied: "Yes, Lian will definitely do his best, and he will not dare to live up to his mother's expectations." ”

After answering, Jia Lian thought that he had nothing to do with himself for the time being, and was about to step aside, but he only heard Yuan Chun suddenly say again: "Finally, there is one more thing, when I came, the saint asked me to ask you a word: You have accumulated countless fortunes by yourself, and you have a secret recipe for making money with King Beijing and others, but is there anything for his brother-in-law?" ”

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that the emperor would be so direct, and he also jokingly called his brother-in-law, which shows how difficult the situation of the emperor is today, and he has reached the point of being ashamed to ask.

Originally, Jia Lian was still thinking about how he could take the opportunity of Yuanchun's provincial relatives to dedicate the secret recipe of cement to the emperor as a step to enter the body, but now that Yuanchun personally conveyed the emperor's inquiry, it would naturally be better.

I saw Jia Lian first took out a book from his arms and said: "Lian is afraid, I already have some ideas that I want to dedicate to the emperor, but I am afraid that it will disturb the emperor's daily affairs. ”

Yuan Chun was overjoyed when she saw that Jia Lian had prepared in advance, because she knew her husband's situation, and at the same time, she also knew that her cousin was not what she used to be, and there seemed to be countless strange recipes in her chest, so she also had high expectations for Jia Lian.

So Yuan Chun personally took over the song, and put it directly into his sleeve without looking at it, and then asked: "Brother Lian really has a foresight, but is it perfect that can be written in this song?" ”

Jia Lian replied: "My brother has already had this intention, Gu Zuoshu doesn't dare to leak anything, please rest assured." ”

Yuan Chun nodded and smiled when he heard this, turned to the sisters and smiled: "I am not talented, and I am not good at chanting, and my sisters know it well. Tonight's talk is just to live up to the situation. On a different day, I will make up the "Grand View Garden" and "Ode to the Provincial Family" and other texts to remember today's events. Several sisters and Lian brothers also inscribed a plaque and a poem, depending on the length of their talents, they are also temporarily chanted, and they cannot be bound by my small talents. And Xi Baoyu actually knew the inscription, which was my unexpected thought. Among them, "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", "Wuyuan" two, I love it very much, followed by "Yihong Courtyard", "Huange Villa", these four places, there must be a different chapter and sentence inscription. Although the couplet of the previous question is good, now I am given a five-word rhythm poem, so that I can be interviewed, so as to live up to the painstaking work of my professor since childhood. ”

When everyone heard this, they all happily agreed, only Jia Baoyu was going to write four songs alone, so he quickly went down to conceive it.

After that, as in the original book, everyone quickly sat down in the poem, but Jia Baoyu sat down in the third poem with the help of Xue Baochai, but because of the appearance of Jia Lian now, Lin Daiyu naturally had no interest in helping him do it again, and in the end he could only make another poem to fill the number.

Jia Lian thought: It is still necessary to change 'Huange Villa' to 'Daoxiang Village' to have the original flavor of Daguan Garden, but fortunately, he still remembers that the apricot curtain originally made by Lin Daiyu is in sight.

So he wrote: The apricot curtain is in sight - the apricot curtain invites guests to drink, and there is a mountain villa in sight. Lingjing goose water, mulberry elm swallow beam. A wisp of spring leeks is green, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant. There is no hunger in the prosperous world, so why be busy with farming and weaving.

Soon after, after all the inscriptions were completed and handed in, Yuan Chun was overjoyed after reading it, and said: "Sure enough, they have all benefited!" He also pointed to Jia Lian's 'Apricot Curtain in Sight', Xue Baochai's 'Ning Hui Zhongrui', and Lin Daiyu's 'Immortal Source of the World' as the top three.

smiled: "In the end, the Lian brothers are quick to think, and the work of the second sister Xue Lin is different, and the non-foolish sisters can be listed together." ”

In the end, 'Huange Villa' was changed to 'Daoxiang Village', and then the rewards were given in turn.

After finishing the poem, the whole family watched the play again, and the time soon came to the ugly time, and the deacon and eunuch asked to drive back to the palace.

So Yuan Chun rewarded again, from Jia's mother to slaves and maids, and finally said goodbye with tears.
