Chapter 124: Picking Flowers
This is exactly what Jia Lian is worried about, but he can't say it, who knows that Daiyu helped him say it, and his heart is full of gratitude. Before, because Jia Zhushu was a good reader, if he stayed at home to take care of the housework, he would be delayed, so he was willing to come over to help with the cooking, but now he is willing to give up his opportunity?
After Daiyu finished speaking, she smiled again, "The second brother must be developed this time, my brother first followed His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, and then followed Prince Zhongshun to take care of the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office. After the second brother, I'm afraid that I will also look up at you! ”
Jia Lian couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're here to make fun of me again?" Haven't I also stained your light? ”
Daiyu shook her head, "That's your own creation, if you don't go well, who can pull you?" ”
The old lady already had an idea, "Zhu'er didn't do well in this subject, and asked him to stay at home and take care of the housework first, you should be busy with your first go, be sure to do a good job of the things assigned by His Royal Highness, don't cause anything!" ”
As he was talking, a mother-in-law came in to report and said, "The second family of Bao has hanged!" ”
The old lady was shocked, her face was not good, Jia Lian had already learned the news, and it was still difficult to hide her grief and anger at this time, Daiyu was even more frightened, she had already made arrangements, but who knew that she still gave her life in vain. The three people in the house were silent, and the mother-in-law in front of Daiyu came in and said, "Girl, I heard that it has been rescued, but it is not good for the time being!" ”
The old lady hurriedly said, "Hurry up and ask the doctor to take medicine!" ”
Later, Daiyu heard that the Bao family's family was good, but they were still struggling to die, because of Xifeng's usual obscenity. The next day, the old lady arranged for Jia Zhu to pick up Jia Lian, and Jia Lian went to help His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince with all his heart, but for fear of delay, he rolled up his luggage and lived directly outside the city.
Xifeng was still not at ease, and called Wang'er in a few times to reply, but he couldn't see it before, but after a few days, Wang'er herself was already skinny, and said, "Grandma Mingjian, now the master has eaten all the hardships that he hasn't suffered in eight lifetimes, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat all day long, where is the leisure to think about those things?" ”
Daiyu was also a little worried, and called Huang Lu to come in and ask, and then Zhong Shun came by himself, bringing Yun Zhen's words, he is a down-to-earth worker, and he is willing to work hard, so that the girl doesn't have to worry!
A few days later, there was an autumn rain, and the project over there came to an end. Jia Lian came back, came to the old lady to say goodbye, as soon as he came in, it was almost unrecognizable, although he was dressed neatly, but the person really lost a lot of weight, fortunately, he was a lot more energetic, he was a little energetic between talking and laughing, and the old lady said something outside, "In a few days, the temple will also be repaired, it is very spectacular, I heard that in the future, I will invite a monk to preside, specifically for the royal blessing, the grandson specially begged His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, let's choose a day to watch and see!" ”
The old lady hurriedly asked, "What does Your Highness say?" ”
"Your Highness said that your grandson has contributed a lot now, if it weren't for the royal practice, it would be okay to donate some incense money!"
The old lady was immediately overjoyed, and said yes, and then opened up to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Jia Lian, seeing that he had lost a lot of weight now, and was extremely distressed.
The banquet was over, and the old lady urged him to go back to the house, who knows, Jia Lian said, "Now, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has taken over the errand of the Ministry of Engineering and assigned some to his grandson, who has never done it, and his eyes are black, and he is bound to study hard." And, seeing that His Majesty is about to fight again, His Royal Highness has already ordered his grandson to follow, although His Royal Highness is not very old, riding and archery is particularly exquisite, these days, his grandson also has to practice riding and archery. ”
The old lady was pitiful again, but she had no choice but to ask someone to send him back to the study. Daiyu heard that Xifeng also sent someone to send him supper, presumably to seduce him, who knows, it is really Jia Lian's affairs are so busy now that he can't be free, so many thoughts have to be put aside.
After Daiyu returned to the house, Huang Lu came in, saying that Concubine Rong asked her to enter the palace the next day, not for anything else, but she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she missed it a little.
The next day, Yan Duo came and led Daiyu into the palace. As soon as she entered the door, Yun Zhen had already come, and was talking to Concubine Rong, Daiyu went over to see her, Concubine Rong pulled her over and sat down, asked a lot of questions, and said, "I didn't say to ask you to come in, and you didn't say to come to see me!" ”
Since Daiyu came in, Yun Zhen seemed to drink tea lightly, but in fact, her eyes had not left her side, unconsciously, Daiyu's face was a little red, and she replied, "Grandmother's side has always had something to do these days, and in the past two days, I was originally going to come in, but it happened that Aunt Rong called someone to say, didn't she want to go together?" ”
Concubine Rong couldn't help laughing, "It's still like this, by the way, there's nothing else to call you in, I heard the emperor say it the day before yesterday, saying that your father has been in office for a few years, and things have done very well, and many shortcomings of the salt administration have been straightened out, and there are a lot less things over there this year, and it's time to go to Beijing to talk, I'm afraid I'm going to enter Beijing this year." ”
Daiyu was already happy, her eyes were shining, as if two crystals were inlayed, that look was so good-looking and rare, Concubine Rong sighed in her heart, and said, "Don't be happy too early, who knows if you want to go back to Yangzhou next year." ”
Daiyu shook her head, "I'm not worried, my father is an official and can govern one side and benefit the people, but it's actually better than in the capital, and it's also an ancestral hometown over there, so there's nothing bad there." It's just that I am now in the capital, although I am happy for my mother under the knees of the old lady and have done my filial piety, but I can't be in front of my parents. ”
"This is also something that can't be helped, and you are also filial piety." Concubine Rong cut her sideburns, and Yuzheng came in, saying that Concubine An was here and wanted to see Daiyu. Daiyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing who An Concubine was, Concubine Rong said, "It's your Jia family's cousin Yuan Chun, and now she has been demoted to An Concubine." ”
Daiyu was a little annoyed that she made her own decisions that day, and she didn't want to see her, but she really couldn't refuse, Yun Zhen looked at her in her eyes, and instructed Yuzheng to say, "You go and tell her, just say that the concubine left her to talk, I'm afraid I won't be free today, I'll talk about it another day!" ”
Concubine Rong couldn't help laughing, and said that she was a little tired, and asked Yun Zhen to take Daiyu to enjoy the flowers under the eaves of the back porch, "The camellia blooms very well, it's rare that it blooms in this season, when you go out of the palace, pick two pots and bring them." ”
The two of them went, and under the eaves of the porch, there were a few flowers, and after looking at Daiyu for a while, they asked, "Which two pots do you say I should pick back?" I don't know which two pots Aunt Rong likes? ”
Yun Zhen told him early because of Concubine Rong today, saying that his father had already asked someone to give Lin Ruhai an order, and he would rush to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work, and the Jia family must come back together, and now Daiyu is not young, although he is not in a hurry to get married, he must also settle the family affairs as soon as possible, he always knows that his mother has long taken a fancy to Daiyu, and he himself has long saved this heart, but he did not break it in the past, and he can cover it up or two, but now he can't hide it, and he always feels that it is a little different from before.
