Chapter 271: The pretty matchmaker provokes lovesickness for no reason
Jia Mu smiled after hearing this, and Long Xi (Zixi) was also greatly relieved.
It seems that this Tanchun girl is really a thoughtful and clear-minded, if it weren't for that, they wouldn't think of sending Tanchun to Yuanchun's side, if it was a person who couldn't see through, the sisters would compete for favor in the future, and they would be dirty, which would be more than worth the loss.
Long Xi (Zixi) remembered that Yuan Chun later had a dragon vein in the original book, so he specially told Tan Chun that in case Yuan Chun had a body, he should be especially careful of Yuan Chun's diet.
Before setting off, Tanchun asked Jia Mu and Long Xi (Zixi) to help her take care of Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan.
Long Xi (Zixi) didn't expect this girl to look like she was drawing a line with the two of them on weekdays, but she still couldn't let go of it in her heart, if she didn't want to enter the palace and couldn't take care of her in person, she wouldn't have said it, she was really hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
She sincerely agreed, and she had a little more affection for this third girl! Such an emotional girl, if she had any chance in the future, she would definitely take care of the Jia family. The most important thing is that she still likes to deal with people who are concerned about her heart, they have a bottom line and dignity.
Under the management of Longxi (Zixi), the Rongguo Mansion has implemented the policy of controlling costs, opening up sources and reducing expenditures, and moving from luxury to simplicity, and implemented the contract responsibility system, and everyone has a sense of responsibility for this left family.
In this way, although the financial problems of Jia Province have not been completely resolved, they have also eased a lot.
Jia's mother forced Mrs. Wang to recognize Long Xi (Zixi) as her goddaughter, and then she treated Long Xi (Zixi) as her granddaughter, and even let Xi (Zixi) have the surname Jia.
When there was a healthy and upward atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion, the old lady in the palace died.
Mother Jia, as the lady of the decree, naturally wants to go to the court to sacrifice.
Long Xi (Zixi) has been paying attention to good family and husband candidates for the girls in the family some time ago, but now he has a legitimate opportunity to follow Mother Jia to contact the ladies of Gaomen.
Fortunately, the role of Jia Mu is old enough, and respecting the old and loving the young seems to work here, and Jia Mu's words and deeds are also very decent, and the wives are very face-saving regardless of their grade, and they are also very polite to Long Xi (Zixi), the actual head of the Rongguo Mansion, which makes Long Xi (Zixi) very relieved.
Among the noblewomen, the highest status is the mother concubine of King Beijing, who looks dignified and noble, and has a great demeanor. And Princess Beijing looks like a gentle and demure lady!
Long Xi (Zixi) combined with the information he inquired about before, and quickly locked down a few good choices, got closer to their wives and grandmothers, and first became familiar with each other, and by the way, let people know that there are several good school-age girls in the Jia family.
Of course, this has to be tactful, such as "This is the forehead that my second sister embroidered for the old lady overnight, saying that she was worried that she would be blown by the wind and have a headache, so she was filial piety" and other casual chatter, if you want to see your daughter-in-law's family will naturally pay attention to such words, often the more aimless chatter and the more information you say, the more you can get the attention and trust of others.
Among them, Shenwu General Feng Tang's son-in-law Feng Ziying, as well as Baoyu's friend Wei Ruolan and others are all good candidates, and they are considered to be high-ranking families, but many of the families of the nouveau riche in the DPRK look good, and if they marry in the past, they are also right.
Anyway, it's just a preliminary contact, and you can see each other slowly.
But what Long Xi (Zixi) didn't expect was that she was enthusiastic about being a matchmaker, looking at each other for welcoming and cherishing spring, and others also looked at her, and she herself was taken by the mother of King Beijing.
The reason for the incident was that the Queen Mother of Beijing wanted to eat Dongpo meat, but because she was mourning for the concubine, she didn't dare to eat meat.
After Jia Mu learned about this, she remembered that Longxi (Zixi) would make vegetarian Dongpo meat, which not only looked like real Dongpo meat, but also tasted like it, so she ordered Longxi (Zixi) to send it over.
The mother concubine of King Beijing ate Su Dongpo meat, appreciated it very much, and chatted with her a few words, and found that this little girl was smart and generous, and dealt with it decently, and since then she has paid attention to Longxi (Zixi).
After a period of getting along, she felt that Longxi (Zixi) was a good Lanxin, capable, responsible, smart and kind, very much like when she was young, and when she went home, she told her son Beijing Wang Shuirong, which is a later story.
Long Xi (Zixi) They stayed outside for more than a month, and suddenly the news of Jia Jing's death came, and Long Xi (Zixi) was stunned for a moment before remembering that there was such a thing during the national funeral.
Jia Jing, this once rare imperial examination talent of the Jia family, Bingchen Kejinshi, is not good at official career, but he likes to seek immortals and ask, and in the end, he even took pills and died violently, which is really speechless.
After this happened, everyone in the Jia family hurriedly set off to rush back, and when they arrived home, they found that there was no chaos at home in these days when the adults were not there.
Yingchun, Tanchun and Li Kun actually took care of the huge Rongguo Mansion in an orderly manner, and Grandma You, who was originally staying as a housekeeper, only had to take care of Ning Guofu, which was really a lot easier.
Long Xi (Zixi) is very pleased, it seems that as long as the girls are given a chance to experience, they will still grow up and can withstand the scene.
In the past, Jia's mother was too doting on the children she liked, and she was too negligent to the children she didn't care about, which led to the next generation of Rongguo Mansion not being able to succeed, not to mention the children of the well-educated big families outside, even Baochai, the girl of the imperial merchant, could not compare.
Long Xi (Zixi) saw that he had achieved results in the "pre-job training plan", and became more and more confident and hardworking, and handled this funeral decently and properly.
Among the people who came to mourn, there was a distinguished guest who was like the stars and the moon, who was the King of Beijing mentioned in the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions".
He is wearing a white hairpin silver-winged king hat, wearing a white python robe with five claws sitting on the dragon in Jiangya seawater, his face is like a beautiful jade, his eyes are like stars, he is such a beautiful character!
Long Xi (Zixi), as a housekeeper, is responsible for receiving the King of Beijing.
King Beijing noticed this little girl who was handsome, powdery, and not angry, she was generous, neither humble nor arrogant, and her words were decent but not boring, and she did things very properly, so he secretly remembered it in his heart.
A few months after Jia Jing's funeral, it coincided with the birthday of the Queen Mother of Beijing, and the King of Beijing specially sent someone to entertain the family of Rongguofu.
At the banquet, everyone presented birthday gifts, Longxi (Zixi) sent a birthday gift is a big birthday peach made by herself with flour, and there are some small birthday peaches next to it, which means that it is a blessing and longevity, a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren.
And the birthday gift of King Beijing is a picture of his own longevity!
The princess of Beijing said that she particularly liked the ingenious birthday gifts of these two people, and ordered someone to reward a pair of tribute jade Ruyi, one for her son and one for Longxi (Zixi).
How could the smart Long Xi (Zixi) not understand what she meant, he was a little shy at the moment, his face was as bright as a peach blossom, and he was fascinated by Shui Rong.
Two days later, Shui Rong ordered someone to send a close-fitting sweat towel to Long Xi (Zixi), which was embroidered with "one inch of acacia and one inch of ash"!
Everyone has expressed it so obviously, Long Xi (Zixi) is not good to continue to pretend to be stupid, but she doesn't want to give Shui Rong too much hope, she can't leave Rongguo Mansion at present!
After thinking about it, she had to return a gift: a plate of tofu skin buns she made herself.
On the second day, Shui Rong personally came to the door, sent a deer leg over, and specified that Long Xi (Zixi) would roast it for him personally.
It is said that he has grown up with the current prince since he was a child, and he is like a brother with the prince!
Long Xi (Zixi) had no choice but to roast deer legs in the garden according to Shui Rong's requirements, and Shui Rong had been enjoying flowers and drinking tea beside him.
Where is he admiring the flowers?
After the deer leg was roasted, the water dissolved had to be inched again, and asked Long Xi (Zixi) to feed him, and Long Xi (Zixi) had to send the deer leg meat to Shuixi's mouth with shame.
Unexpectedly, the water was soluble but did not bite the venison, but kissed Long Xi (Zixi)'s hand, which scared Long Xi (Zixi) so that the six gods were ownerless, and hid back in the room to avoid the limelight for a while.
Under the stubborn stalker of water solubility, Long Xi (Zixi) finally agreed to marry him as a side concubine a month later, after all, Long Xi also hopes that Zixi in the game can marry a good husband and have a good home.
But her condition is that Shui Rong will wait for her for a year, and she will not marry into the palace after a year, and Shui Rong must also allow her to go back to Rongguo Mansion often.
Shui Rong obeyed her words and did not allow it!
Long Xi (Zixi) hoped that he could complete the task of revitalizing Rongguo Mansion in one year, so he accelerated his pace.
In the autumn of this year, several children of the Jia family were sent to the examination room, Jia Lan was naturally willing, although Jia Huan was a little stage frightened, but he also knew in his heart that this was the only way he could get ahead, so he naturally did not dare to slack off.
Jia Baoyu is now also adopting his heart and nurturing his nature, and he reads to understand reason.
First, his grandmother no longer protects him, and secondly, Daiyu always persuades him to read more to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, right and wrong, and in life, everyone has a responsibility that belongs to him, and he can't escape the burden.
He is already smart, coupled with the good teachers who teach him, and his brothers and even sisters around him also regard reading as an elegant thing, in such an atmosphere, his studies are also making rapid progress.
Under the instruction of Jia's mother, not only the children of the Jia family themselves, but even the children of the side branches of the clan have a chance to end, led by Jia Zheng, if the family is really poor, there is also the support of the silver allocated in the accounts of the sect.
Many of those children are diligent and talented, and they are very grateful for the compassion of the old lady when they get such a good opportunity this time, and they have to work hard to show themselves.
So, on the day the list was released, the Jia family actually came up with five people!
Jia Yun, Jia Chen, and Jia Qiang all got good rankings, especially Jia Chen, who actually won the tenth place in the B list, which is a very good result.
Although Jia Baoyu hung at the end of the list, he also squeezed in, and he did not lose his name to Sun Shan.
