Here the porter knew Jia Lian and led Jia Lian in.

Not long after entering the East Mansion, a person came to him, it was Jia Qiang, who was fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Second Uncle Lian hasn't come to the door for a long time, where are you going today?" Jia Qiang saluted.

"I heard that Tianxiang Building is being renovated in Dongfuli, so I'll come to see the excitement."

"What about my nephew?"

“…… It's good. ”

Jia Lian is a man, of course, he can't say that he wants to see his sick niece and daughter-in-law when he meets people, but now he can only say that he is going to see the excitement.

Fortunately, Tianxianglou is not a small pavilion of one or two feet, it was originally the place where the patriarch of Lao Ning held a banquet, and it has always been conspicuous in the buildings of Dongfu, and Jia Lian came to see it, and it was not presumptuous.

Jia Qiang led Jia Lian to the slope of a heavy hill in the mansion - this hillside did not exist in ancient times, but was built by Ning Guofu himself.

In front of the slope is the Tianxiang Building that is under construction, and there is a banquet on the slope that has been eaten, and Jia Zhen, who is in charge of Ning Guofu, is not there, only Jia Rong sits on a small bench next to the banquet to supervise the work.

A few subordinates were busy cleaning up the table of the banquet, and when they saw Jia Lian coming, they shouted in unison: "I've seen Second Master Lian!" ”

Jia Rong was not reminded, so she came back to her senses and came over in a panic to salute.

The banquet was cleaned up quickly, and a clean small table and wooden chairs were picked up, and Jia Lian and Jia Qiang were invited to sit.

Jia Rong came over and sat down with a smile, his overseer's errand could be taken care of.

"Brother Jane isn't here?" Jia Lian asked first.

"I was originally here, but I went back after eating, maybe I wanted to take a nap, so I was left here." Jia Rong replied.

Jia Lian understood.

However, he didn't come to see Laoshizi Tianxianglou.

After a while, someone brought hot tea to the small table, and Jia Lian spoke again: "I heard that the Qin family in your house is sick?" ”

Jia Rong nodded, made a sad gesture, and said, "Everything else is fine, it's just that the amount of food has been reduced in the past few days, and it makes people feel distressed to watch." ”

"You guys are in love..."Jia Lian couldn't guess the depth, so he spoke directly: "I'll go with you to see the Qin family, after all, that person was also brought into the mansion by me at the beginning." ”

"I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid this doesn't make a lot of sense, right?" Jia Qiang on the side spoke.

"Yes." Jia Rong answered: "The Qin family is lying in the bedroom, I'm afraid it's not easy to come out." My aunt also came to see it in the morning, so I can't bother with Second Uncle Lian, and when it comes to a while, I'll go to Xifu with her to say hello to you. ”

was directly blocked by the two nephews, and it was indeed a bit abrupt for individuals to visit the patient, but Jia Lian didn't want to give up yet.

Since he is already suspicious, if he doesn't find out the matter, how can he be willing!

At the moment, Jia Lian was only sitting on the slope with Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, thinking about opening his mouth again later.

For a long time, a pot of tea was drunk, and the fruit fell in the afternoon.

Suddenly, I heard someone talking at the bottom of the slope, and the old man came.

Jia Lian looked up and saw Jia Zhen coming uphill with his waist propped up, so he got up and went over to salute to greet him.

"That's it." Jia Zhen took Jia Lian's wrist up to the small table and sat down, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang hurriedly got out of the way and got up to stand.

Jia Zhen said with a smile: "When the Tianxiang Building is repaired, the people from the two provinces will be invited to sit during the festival, and then the stage will be set up on the first floor, the wine order will be held on the second floor, and the storytelling will be told on the third floor...... The water mirror curtain on the top floor carried the old lady to sit. It's a pity that you should travel in June, otherwise it's good to be lively after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Only Jia Zhen was saying that Jia Lian couldn't open his mouth several times, so he could only say yes.

At dusk, he still couldn't see the Qin family, and Jia Lian saw that no one cared about him, so he had to leave Ning Guofu with the greeting of the porter.

This is true of both provinces! It seems that they are all good words and good words, but in fact, they only make you unable to do things, and use the invisible things to suppress and block! ’

Jia Lian thought to himself, but he couldn't for a while.

There is no reason in the world to force you to visit your nephew and daughter-in-law.

"I'm not going to take a break with you, I'll come back in a few days!"

scolded the stone lion at the main gate of the East Mansion, and Jia Lian went home.

With some depression into the north and south sandwich road, before returning to the house, the big maid in the house Mandarin Duck brought someone to invite him to the courtyard of Jia's mother.

The court documents came down, but Jia Lian only ran out for two days, and Jia's mother summoned him after hearing it.

So Jia Lian went directly to Jia's mother's upper courtyard.

Today, Jia's mother was eating in the lobby of the flower hall outside, and she was leaning on the recliner at this time, and when she saw Jia Lian coming, she asked: "When are you going to go about the imperial court's transfer of you?" ”

"As soon as I arrived in office in early July, I only had to walk faster, and it was enough to leave on June 15." Jia Lian invited Ann and sat down with Jia's mother in the flower hall.

There was still a warm chair under Jia's mother, which made her lazily close her eyes, and listened to Jia Lian's words without raising her head.

"I heard that Shaanzhou Mansion is thousands of miles away, how can I still go so tightly in time. If you want to become an official, you can simply leave a few days early, only on the tenth day of the first month, so as not to make any mistakes and delay the time. ”

Lin Zhixiao, who was waiting for Jia's mother on the side, said with a smile: "This is the old man's words, your old lady said it very well." ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

Jia Mu opened her eyes at this time, saw Jia Lian's appearance, and then said: "Since you have chosen the day to leave, time is tight, which people want to call, which luggage to take away, you have to prepare yourself." Clothes, bedding, warm pots, nose pots, and errand study utensils are indispensable.

We are from the south of the Yangtze River, and the rice in the northwest is not used to eating, so you take one or two cooks to go, and other errand runners don't need me to say, the people in Shaanzhou are not familiar with the place, and only the people who are close to the house are good to call.

Besides, being a civil official is indispensable to the staff, Ning Rong can pick it up to you on the street, it's not enough, your second master has a lot of guests there, I don't help you speak, you go and beg him. ”

According to what Jia Mu said, after this preparation, dozens or hundreds of people had to follow.

That's it, it's still light and simple, no wonder you have to go early, it will inevitably be delayed on the road.

The people who brought it to the envoy don't need Jia Lian to pay for it by himself, and he has his own public expenses in the Rongguo Mansion, and he can just find Wu Xindeng, the manager of the treasury, when the time comes.

"Tut-tut......" Lin Zhixiao's family stroked his palms again and smiled: "Second Master Lian listens to the old lady's words, and he knows that he is using his heart for you, don't look at your usual few people, the old lady can remember you in her heart!" ”

When Mother Jia heard this, she stopped the maid who was beating her legs and straightened up, and said with a smile: "As long as you talk too much, don't you want to ask for a future for the second master." ”

Lin Zhixiao's family came to press Jia's mother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's just that I am too talkative, and if I disturb the interest of my ancestors, I should be plagued." ”

So all the maids and grandmothers present laughed.

The laughter ended, and the sky ended.

Mother Jia is not a person who can enjoy the coolness, so she asked someone to carry the recliner back to the house.

Jia Lian said goodbye and got out because of this, but in the end, he was stopped by Jia's mother and admonished.

"You have a lot of things to do before you travel, so you don't go out of the house these days. It's just a matter of socializing with colleagues, it's inevitable, but what's the point of building a Tianxiang Building in Dongfu, and it's worth watching for half a day? When it comes to packing up your itinerary, you can't ask Feng Lazi to arrange it for you. ”
