Chapter Ninety-Four
Wang Xifeng's preparations were not in vain, in less than half a day, the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion was promoted to the title of Fengzao Palace Shangshu, and the news of the addition of the title of Concubine Xiande had spread all over the in-laws and friends of the Jia family. After Jia's mother came back from the palace, there was an endless stream of relatives and friends who came to congratulate and congratulate, and there were people who came to the door for several days, and those who didn't know each other, and Rongguo Mansion suddenly became lively.
Jia Mu, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng have to receive several waves of people every day, and they are very busy, and the only normal place in the two mansions is Jia Baoyu's Qianyun Xuan, and they are also very proud of their own mother, but unfortunately the owner of this house, Jia Baoyu, is not moved at all. still follow the steps, visit Qin Zhong, and regard the excitement of this mansion as nothing.
On this day, he was bored flipping through a book in the small study, and when he saw this, he persuaded him to go to Jia's mother to be happy together, "You see that so many people come to celebrate every day, and there is still singing in the flower hall every day, and you are also lively and lively in front." ”
Jia Baoyu couldn't raise his interest, and said indifferently: "What's there to be happy about, the eldest sister still can't go home in the palace, and it's no different from before." ”
Qingwen was originally in the second room, and when she heard this, she laughed at him and said, "What are you talking about, how can so many people come here like before!" Everyone knows that this is a great joy, but you are different from others. ”
Raider: "Forget it, he has always been like this, there are so many people in front of him, it doesn't matter if he goes or not." "If Baoyu said this when everyone was happy, it would be a bit of a disappointment, and it would be better not to go.
Baoyu didn't plan to join in the excitement, he just wanted to quietly avoid this in the small study. It's a pity that as the younger brother of the virtuous concubine Niangniang, I heard that he was taken by his mother when he was a child, and the sister-brother relationship is very deep, and many people are also curious about him.
On this day, Jia Baoyu had just returned from seeing guests in Jia Zheng's study, and heard that Jia's mother had called him over again, and before he could sigh, a little maid came in and said, "Xie Sangongzi is here."
Baoyu suddenly seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly ordered the attacker, "You go back to the old lady, I am receiving Third Brother Xie, and I don't have time to meet guests." So he hurried to the outer study.
Xie Jingxing was waiting for him in the outer study, and when he saw Baoyu, he congratulated him and said, "I heard that Sister Ling Jin was named the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and she was crowned Concubine Xiande, but I haven't congratulated you yet." ”
Jia Baoyu said deflatedly: "Don't mention this, the people who are happy are about to break the door these days, I am arrested by the old lady every day to meet guests, and I have no free time, where does the joy come from?" ”
Xie Jingxing said with a smile: "It seems that you are not tired for a while. ”
"The key is to be tired," Baoyu lifted the teapot, frowned and shouted out, "Mingyan!" Why don't you serve tea yet! ”
Mingyan hurriedly walked in and apologized to the two sons: "Recently, the house has been too busy, and no one has come to this study, so the manpower has been temporarily transferred to other places to help, and now the water is boiling, so I will send it over immediately." ”
Jia Baoyu was a little dissatisfied, but the guests didn't say much about the things in the house, so he only said: "You go to Ermen to spread the word, and let the inside quickly send some tea." ”
Xie Jingxing wanted to say no, but when he thought that Jiang Yan was in charge of the tea in the Baoyu House, maybe she came over, so he didn't stop it.
Jiang Yan knew when the maid came in to report, she was going to see Xie Jing when he was walking, but she didn't expect such a big mistake in the outer study, which tea room is not boiling water twenty-four hours a day waiting for the master, they are good, even the stove is not born!
As for what Mingyan said, she didn't believe it if she went to help elsewhere, which of these little guys who followed Jia Baoyu was not an uncle outside, even if it was just a person who guarded the study at the bottom, it was not something that could be called elsewhere, not to mention that because of the matter of Yuanchun's concubine, Jia Baoyu's water rose, and they also followed the light, only those who were more arrogant, how could there be a reason to shrink their heads. This time, maybe it was a greedy play, seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't go to the outer study, he slipped away.
The maids were clear about the virtues of these little guys outside, and this was not the time to pursue them, so the attacker immediately said to Jiang Yan, "Danyu, do you have any new tea over there?" Hurry up and send it over. ”
Jiang Yan nodded, "Prepare Baoyu to drink when she comes back from the master, I have already started cooking." ”
She quickly took the tea and went to the outer study.
A small guy at the second gate was probing his brain there, and when he saw Jiang Yan coming out, he was so happy that he immediately greeted him, and he couldn't stop saying good things in his mouth, "Sister has worked hard, I'll help my sister serve it." ”
Jiang Yan avoided his hand, "Let's go quickly, don't let the guests wait." "This person who is two or three years older than herself, why is she embarrassed to call her sister, her mouth is so sweet, is Baoyu really angry? These guys are the best at reading people's faces.
The little guy just swept away the red and smiled, and didn't say much, and sped up to the outer study.
When they entered the outer study, they saw that Jia Baoyu and Xie Jingxing were both smiling, without the slightest anger, and swept away the red at the door, and their hearts were relieved, and they stayed at the door without moving. Jiang Yan served tea to the two of them, while thinking about the reason why Xie Jingxing came over today.
Was it the last letter written? That's just a matter of silver, so he doesn't need to make a special trip.
Thinking about this, Xie Jingxing suddenly said to Jia Baoyu: "Actually, I came today to bid you farewell. ”
"What?" Jia Baoyu was taken aback, "Where are you going?" This is also what Jiang Yan wants to ask.
Xie Jingxing said: "My appointment has come down, and I will go to Yunzhou to take up my post after the year." ”
"Why did you end up in Yunzhou?" Although Jia Baoyu doesn't love fame and fortune, but in the noble family, these officialdom things are still understood, Xie Jingxing is the son of the Marquis of Qing'an, not to mention the green clouds, how should he not be transferred to Yunzhou, then Yunzhou is not a good place.
Xie Jingxing said indifferently: "I'm now the fourth grade of the capital, if I hadn't been transferred to Yunzhou, I wouldn't have risen so fast." ”
Baoyu said regretfully: "Then won't you be able to return to Beijing for a long time?" ”
"There's no way, I have to come down from the order," Xie Jingxing raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yan, and then looked at Baoyu again, "I guess I'll be very busy around the New Year, so I'll talk to you in advance." ”
After Xie Jingxing finished talking about this, he told Jia Baoyu that he would come out to gather more years ago, and then said goodbye and left.
Jiang Yan absentmindedly packed up the tea set, and as soon as Baoyu left, she immediately walked out of the courtyard, and caught up with Xie Jingxing's master and servant who was pretending to enjoy the scenery and moving slowly to the door.
She dragged him into a small passage around the corner, "Your marquis won't be unlucky, right?" ”
