In the spring of the seventeenth year of Yongzheng, Jiafu, Changping County.

Four or five large and small radish heads are playing and frolicking in the courtyard, among them are six or seven years old, and the younger ones are three or four years old, all of them are pink and lovely age, and they are all wearing soft Hangzhou fine clothes, which shows that this family is in a solid situation.

Several mothers-in-law were hurriedly picking up the freshly dried medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and the rough workers hurriedly sent the firewood to the backyard kitchen.

At this time, a young man with a long figure walked out of the main hall, this man was born with a face like a crown of jade, and his eyebrows were handsome, even if it was just a plain bamboo blue robe, it could not hide his grace.

The little radish heads immediately rushed up, surrounding the long-standing man, looking up with cute little faces, and chirping "Daddy".

The man stroked the little red face of the youngest daughter, and looked up at the oppressive sky again, "It's going to rain, let's go back to the house." ”

After a month of drought, I finally waited for the spring rains.

This beautiful man with a beautiful face like a crown of jade is not a bystander, but the noble man Jia Shi, who was favored for a while in the past and suddenly disappeared from the jade, with a single name of "Confucianism".

Three years ago, this young Mr. Jia set up a home in a town in Changping County, with a mansion under his name, hundreds of acres of fertile land, and a large amount of silver tickets in his hand. This old man Jia is kind and charitable, often pays for bridges and paving roads, and has adopted five fatherless and motherless children. Such a good person should be extremely respected by the township, and then the people in the town all respect this Jia Mansion.

Just because this Master Jia is an internal eunuch, it is said that he is also the righteous son of a chief steward in the palace.

For a crippled person like a eunuch, everyone avoids it, one is disgusted, and the other is fearful.

At this time, a servant dressed in a short dozen ran over quickly, "Master, there is a lady who is passing through here outside, saying that she is from Shengjing, and she was going to the capital, but seeing the sudden change in the weather, I am afraid that there will be heavy rain, so I want to borrow our mansion to take shelter from the rain." ”

"Sheng Jing is here?" Jia Ru's jade-like face showed a look of doubt.

The servant nodded: "Exactly, that lady looks at either rich or expensive, and also brings a young and beautiful Gege." ”

"Oh?" The corners of Jia Ru's red lips raised slightly, and he had already roughly guessed what the purpose of this mother and daughter, who was not rich or noble, rushed all the way from Shengjing to the capital.

"It's been three years in a blink of an eye......," Jia Ru said quietly, the eldest son of the queen's mother, the sixth elder brother Hongxu, is also fourteen years old.

"Invite them in." ——Although this is only a small town in Changping, it is close to Xiaotangshan Town, not far from the emperor's Xiaotangshan Palace, so there are also many rich families in this town who have built annexes here. And the mother and daughter chose to borrow Jiafu to shelter from the rain, apparently because they heard that he was a eunuch.

The biggest advantage of eunuchs is that they do not hurt women's reputations.

Today's rainstorm is coming, I don't know when it will stop, and I have to spend the night if I can't get it.

It can be seen how much this mother cherishes her daughter.

It can also be seen how outstanding this young and beautiful little Gege is, and he must have an unlimited future.

After a while, I saw seven or eight mothers-in-law and girls surrounded by a middle-aged lady and a little Gege Shi Ran, who was still a little young and had a good face and bearing, and walked in.

This little Gege is only thirteen or fourteen years old, just in the cardamom years, the duck egg round little face is slightly red, there are beads of sweat on the tip of the nose, the face is thin with fat powder, the willow eyebrows are faint, the bearing is gentle and timeless, wearing an orange-red cloud brocade flag suit, the color is bright and gentle.

Jia Ru saw it in his eyes, and the secret path was really a small character who stood out.

Xiao Gege's mother is also a woman with outstanding grace and grace, although Shaohua is no longer there, but her eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and she is gentle with a dignified atmosphere. As soon as the middle-aged woman entered this house, she was attracted by the long and jade man in front of her, and she couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart that there are such beautiful men in the world who are not inferior to stunning beauties.

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Zunjia is the master of this Jia Mansion, right?" ”

Jia Ru bowed his hand, "The sky wants rain, please invite Mrs. and Gege into the hall to drink a cup of tea to warm up." ”

The middle-aged woman said "thank you" and carried her daughter into the room.

Although this hall is not spacious, it is clean and elegant, and the middle-aged woman said secretly: Sure enough, he is worthy of being the person who retired from the palace, but this Jia Ru's father-in-law is so young, and he is far from the age of old age......

The middle-aged woman put away her doubts and reported to herself with a smile: "The old man is Tong Jiashi, the wife of Li Rongbao, the head of Chahar, and this is the little daughter Fucha Jiayi." ”

Jia Ru was slightly stunned, it turned out to be the Fucha family with the surname of the big family, although Li Rongbao was only the head of Sanpin Chahar, but Li Rongbao's own brother was a scholar of the Baohe Palace, the prince Taibao and the important minister of the military department, Fucha Maqi. Ma Qi's youngest son, Fu Xing, also returned to Princess Gulun Huaike.

If the Fucha Xiaogege in front of him can be selected and become the daughter-in-law of the queen mother and the Fujin of the sixth elder brother, then the Fucha family will really soar to the sky.

Jia Ru smiled and looked at this Fucha Xiao Gege, and said: "Jia Yan Yixing, these four words are also worthy of Gege's bearing. ”

Fucha Jiayi said generously: "Jia ...... Mr. has won the prize. - Fucha Jiayi did not call "father-in-law", if he called "Master Jia" like others, he was a little too respectful, so he retreated and asked for the second honorific title of "Mr. Jia".

Thunder and lightning flashed outside, and torrential rain poured in.

Fucha Jiayi looked at those lovely children curiously, this Mr. Jia is an internal supervisor, so these children ......

Jia Ru saw the doubts of this Fucha Xiao Gege, and said with a smile: "These are my adopted children. ”

As he spoke, he called the five children to come forward and greet the mother and daughter of the Fucha family.

Mrs. Fucha smiled and said, "Mr. Jia's children are very well-behaved. Then he instructed the mother-in-law next to him to take the candy of Shengjing's specialties and some delicate little toys to the children.

Jia Ru didn't refuse, but said with a smile: "Don't thank Mrs. soon." ”

The five children hurriedly and awkwardly gave their hands and said in a milky voice: "Thank you, madam! ”

Jia Ru couldn't help but be a little curious, "Madame traveled a long way to Beijing, why did she bring so many children's toys?" ”

Mrs. Fucha smiled and said, "Jiayi's cousin has a son last year, and he is about to turn one year old. ”

Jia Julio understood who this "cousin" was, it was Princess Huaike's forehead Fu Xing, the princess gave birth to her fourth child last summer, a boy.

Jia Ru smiled and said "congratulations". With such a family and connections, this Fucha Xiao Gege was born with a few more opportunities than the nobles of other families.

Presumably, Princess Huai Ke is also happy to recommend her husband's cousin to the East Palace.
