Chapter 19: Birth and Change, Jia Qiang Encounters Troubles
I don't feel that winter goes to spring, and it is the spring of Hongtai's seventh year.
On the second day of the second month of February, a good news spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion - because the Son of Heaven advocates poetry and etiquette, recruits talents, and descends to the immortal Longen, in addition to hiring concubines, the daughters of famous eunuchs in the world have to be named in the department, in order to choose, to accompany the princess and the county lord to enroll, and to praise the talents.
Jia Yingchun, the eldest daughter of the old man, has been selected to enter the palace as a female historian because of her good looks.
Everyone in Jiafu was happy, as if Yuanchun had become a mother.
Jia Lu knew that this was just the beginning, and in a few years, Yuan Chun would really be able to become a virtuous concubine.
However, this incident does not seem to have brought any substantial benefits to Jiafu, but has further fueled the extravagance of Jiafu, in order to save relatives to build a grand view garden, as well as three festivals and two birthdays every year to the palace to give gifts, gradually hollowing out Jiafu's family foundation, has become one of the reasons for the ruin of Jiafu.
After Yuan Chun's death, the royal family did not miss the old feelings, and directly raided Jiafu's house.
If you want to protect yourself before the building falls, you can either break away from Jiafu, or change the direction of the future by your own strength.
And all Jia Lu can do now is to study hard and make progress every day.
Good things happen one after another, and March is a good day for Jia Rong, the son of Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion, to marry.
In the end, Jia Qiang did not forget Jia Lu's existence, and invited him to Ningguo Mansion to see the grand occasion of Jia Rong's wedding.
Compared with the two brothers Jia Yu and Jia Zheng in Rongguo Mansion, Ning Guofu is even more demographic.
Starting from Jia Jing, it has been three generations of single transmission in Jia Rong's generation.
Jia Jing resigned again, and gave Jia Zhen the title to attack, and he only hid in the Taoist temple outside the city to burn mercury and alchemy every day, just thinking that one day he would be able to fly up.
Jia Zhen, who is only in her thirties this year, has actually become the parent of Ning Guofu, without his father's control, Jia Zhen's poor and extravagant character of being bent on pleasure has been exposed, and no one dares to care about him if he wants to turn Ning Guofu over.
Jia Rong is seventeen this year, born with a delicate face and a fine figure, and is married to the daughter of Qin Bangye, the battalion of the Ministry of Industry, whose breast name is Keqing.
Qin Keqing has always been talked about by people who like the Red Mansion and study the Red Mansion in the future.
First of all, Qin Keqing's name is both beautiful, 'her bright and charming is like a treasure hairpin, and she is as graceful as Daiyu', Jia's mother said that she is 'the first proud person among the great-granddaughters-in-law', and she can be said to be the most beautiful person among the twelve hairpins of the Red Mansion.
She came from a humble background, but she was the daughter of a camper, and she was still raised from the health hall.
Jia Rong is the great-grandson of Ning Guogong and the heir of Ning Guofu in the future, and the backgrounds of the two can be said to be very different.
Although there is a saying that a high-level family marries a woman and a low-door marrying a woman, there are really some families who are not in the right household. Just because Jia Zheng and Qin Bangye were both officials in the Ministry of Industry, they formed this family business, which is really a bit unreasonable.
Since ancient times, Qin Keqing was the first person among the twelve golden hairpins to die.
Whether it was with his father-in-law Jia Zhen who climbed the ashes and the matter was revealed, shameless and living in the world, hanging a beam and committing suicide in Tianxianglou, or whether he was really sick and died, it has become a mystery for the ages.
Under the guidance of Jia Qiang, she saw the wealth and luxury of Ning Guofu, and saw the high-spirited young Jia Rong take the thin-life beauty Qin Keqing into the door, Jia Lu couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, she actually became a traverser who witnessed the entry of Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing.
Although Wang Xifeng is not a long-lived person, he still has to go through a process from the heyday to the decline of Jiafu.
Qin Keqing died within a few years of passing the door. I wonder if I still have a chance to save this first beauty in the Red Mansion?
These two major events have passed, and Ning Rong's second mansion has returned to its former calm and extravagance.
Jia Lu is still as unnoticed as air, and reading, practicing calligraphy, and tinkering with some strange smelly bottles and cans in his house seem to have become the whole of his life.
Unconsciously in May, I didn't see Jia Qiang come to school for three days in a row.
Jia Qiang is not a person who is willing to study steadily, and it is common for her to skip class for a day to have fun, but it is a little wrong if she doesn't show up for three days in a row.
After dispersing his studies, Jia Lu came to Ningguo Mansion, and the little guy on the door saw him and asked, "This is not the third master of Lu?" Why do you have time to walk around the Ning Mansion today? ”
Jia Lu said: "I came to find Brother Qiang, I haven't seen him go to school for a few days, and my husband asked me to come over and ask what's wrong." ”
An unnatural look appeared on the little girl's face and said, "It turned out that I came to find Brother Qiang, and I heard that Brother Qiang moved out two days ago to live outside." ”
Jia Lu couldn't help but be stunned, Jia Qiang moved out? His parents died early, and he urinated with Jia Zhen's uncle, and Jia Zhen also liked him, why did he move out well?
For he asked, "But you don't know where he lives now?" ”
The little guy said: "Little third master, it's hard for you to be small, the little one is just waiting at the door, where do you know about the things of the masters in the house?" ”
Jia Lu couldn't say anything when he saw it, and he was not familiar with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, so he didn't go in again, and went back to Rongguo Mansion.
Who wanted to arrive at school early the next morning, but saw that Jia Qiang was already there.
Seeing Jia Lu coming, Jia Qiang just squeezed out a smile and said hello slightly.
In front of others, Jia Lu didn't say anything about going to Ning Guofu to find Jia Qiang, and still read and wrote as usual.
When it was time to eat at noon, I saw Jia Qiang call a bowl full of rice, so she devoured the dishes, as if she had been hungry for three days, and she no longer had the bearing of a rich son in the past.
After eating, Jia Lu called Jia Qiang until no one came out and asked, "Brother Qiang, where have you been these days?" ”
"I ...... I'm going out there to play! Jia Qiang replied hesitantly.
"Play? I went to Ningguo Mansion to look for you, why did the master say that you moved out? Jia Lu asked again.
"I ...... Who do you listen to nonsense? I just went out and blocked it for two days, because I was too lazy to go back, and I was in the yard for two days. Jia Qiang's eyes flickered more and more.
Jia Lu sneered and said, "Then what's the matter with the injury on your face?" Is it the loss of money and people to make a move?
And your clothes, the appearance of a starving ghost just after eating, must have lost all your money and had no money to buy food?
Why don't you go back to Ningguofu to eat a full meal, wash your face and change into clean clothes? ”
Jia Lu was obviously a little hairy when asked, and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, just take care of yourself!" ”
Jia Lu took a step back, hugged his shoulders and said: "I only take you as a good brother, you can be blessed and enjoy hardships together, it seems that I am self-inflicted, you don't take me seriously at all, since this is the case, I don't ask." Brother Qiang, take care of yourself. ”
Then he turned around and was about to leave.
Jia Qiang hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Lu, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, it's just ...... It's just that you can't help me with this, and you are also troubled by me, what's the benefit? ”
Jia Lu said: "Yes, you are in trouble, I don't need silver, and I don't know if you need manpower, what's the use of me?"
You just hold it in your own heart, or find someone who can help you. ”
Jia Qiang gritted her teeth and finally said, "That'...... If I tell you, you can't talk to anyone else, or we'll never have to do it again! ”
Jia Lu hurriedly said: "It's been so long, don't you know me?" Am I the kind of person who preaches about my brother's pain and goes around preaching it for fun? What can you just say, maybe I can help you? ”
"Okay, that's the case......" Jia Qiang looked left and right and saw that there was no one else, and then whispered.
