Xing Xiuyan listened to Daiyu's words and thought about it in her heart.

"If my sister really said that, she was wrong. Even if I have less knowledge, I also know that there is the sister-in-law Zhu in this Grand View Garden, and the sisters are a rare pure land in the world......

"If this kind of day is less than one day, how can my sister say that it has nothing to do with her? If it were me, even if I came back in the future, I am afraid that I would inevitably have to make some sentimental poems like the ancients, and then I would only be able to place my affection on these things."

What he said really made sense, Daiyu nodded, and paid more and more attention to Xing Xiuyan.

But Daiyu has some considerations of her own, and it is not good for outsiders.

One is that she does not live in the Grand View Garden for a long time like other sisters, and the other is that she doesn't want to delay Baoyu, so it would be better to break it earlier, but listening to Niangniang's instructions that night, there is something that matches her and Baoyu's meaning.

No matter how happy she is in this grand view garden, it will inevitably alienate her.

At that moment, Daiyu just smiled at Xing Xiuyan and said, "You and I haven't asked about age these days, why do you call my sister?" If by then I have already looked forward to myself, and you have counted another hour, you are not allowed to change your words."

Xing Xiuyan was worried that she had made a deep statement, and when she heard this, she smiled reassuringly.

……

Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan were talking together, and Jia's mother was here, seeing that she couldn't force Sister Feng to say a few words, so she let it go slightly.

During the wine order, only Sister Feng was allowed to wait and count, and she counted a seat with Mother Jia.

After being so happy for a while, Jia Mu finally remembered something rare.

"Did Sister Feng receive the letter? When Qian'er Baoyu and her mother came to ask for peace, they said that someone from Jinling's hometown was also coming, and your brother and the Xue family's second family sent their daughter to Beijing to get married."

Sister Feng came for this matter, and immediately spoke eagerly.

"I know all about it, too. It's the Xue family that has a sister called Xue Baoqin, who wants to marry the Mei Hanlin family, and it's also a creation."

Sister Feng said again: "Time is tight, and the marriage will have to be Zhang Luo when it arrives in Beijing, but you also know about the Xue family's old mansion, Aunt Xue and her family are reluctant, where is it for a while? So I wanted to take advantage of the Rong Mansion's external employment, and it would be glorious to marry into my husband's family...... Now you have asked me to intercede with the ancestor first, and Aunt Xue will come to beg you later."

This is not the first time that the Xue family has experienced this, Xue Baochai entered the palace through the Jia family's door draft.

Mother Jia listened to Sister Feng'er explain the Mei family of the Hanlin Bachelor, and bowed her head slightly.

"It's good that you said this, it's a happy event, and it doesn't hinder our family. At that time, I will also see with you how this girl compares to Baochai."

Seeing that Mother Jia nodded and agreed, Sister Feng was overjoyed, so she was worthy of the things sent by the Xue family, and it also showed that she was capable.

After talking about Xue Baoqin, Jia Mu asked separately, "No, there is another person who came together. Sister Feng, where will your brother live when he arrives? These families are extremely close, and Baoyu's father has always been particular, and while he is still in Beijing to be an official, he should look for him as soon as possible if there is something to do, and try to help him, I also said this to Baoyu and his mother."

Compared with the affairs of the Xue family, Sister Feng did not care much about Wang Ren's affairs.

The two of them are like Jia Zhen and Jia Xichun, saying that they are brothers and sisters, but in fact, they have always been not very close.

"Ancestor, you have seen little, my brother is used to being ridiculous and prodigal over there, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed there often."

Sister Feng said with some disgust: "Now I don't know what he means, anyway, when I get to Beijing, there is a house on the Wang family's side, and if it doesn't work, he won't go to me as a sister." And he and Lian Er seem to have made some trouble in Jinling a few years ago, and he doesn't dare to go over for fear of it."

also knew that Wang Ren's entry into Beijing was troublesome, and it was easy to do without Xue Baoqin's relatives, so Sister Feng just shirked it and didn't want to mess with it.

However, since the fight against Yuanchun Province, Jia's mother has always been in a good mood.

At this time, although Sister Feng was disgusted, she still smiled and said, "The relatives' family is here, and their family is still in the north, who will we rely on? You're talking like that now, but

Don't let Baoyu and her mother come to me to mention this again."

"What can this be?"

Sister Feng said, "If the men outside want to do this and that, where can they alarm the ancestor. said that it was a brother and sister, but the daughter-in-law also said it here, how can everything trouble our house? Besides, the second wife is now busy with the second master's departure from Beijing, and I'm afraid she won't have this time."

……

The second master, Jia Zheng, is indeed busy over there.

Since he came out, he has been a Beijing official for more than 20 years, and he has been released suddenly, and he is still a promising official of Xuezheng, and he has been grateful for the kindness of Emperor Ling several times at home.

On this day, Jia Mu and others had fun in the Grand View Garden, and Jia Zheng was packing his bags in the East Cross Courtyard to prepare for the Beijing tomorrow day.

「…… Speaking of which, Mr. Wu Yong, the official of the Zhan Shifu who was released from Beijing last year, has already told me about these things."

Jia Zheng sat on the kang and spoke.

His position in the Ministry of Industry has been relieved, and now he can't read the book in his hand, so he only sighs with Mrs. Wang in the house.

"It's really a strange person, I have long expected the scene of my house today. Now all the ministers who want to go out of Beijing with me, when they talk about literature and elegance, they will never be left behind, but if you talk about the way of being an official, even me, I am afraid that it is far inferior to Wu Yong."

has been married for many years, and Mrs. Wang also knows that Jia Zheng can't hide her excitement, and she was a rare drunk last night.

While instructing the maid to pack the box, she also came to persuade Jia Zheng not to be humble, and sighed twice by the way.

"The ancients said that the case should be raised with eyebrows. We have been married for many years, and it is reasonable that I should go out of Beijing with my lord, but there are many things in the house, and Baoyu and others are also in a critical situation, and the old lady is so old that she can't leave at all......

Mrs. Wang actually didn't know that Xuezheng was not an official who sat on the ground in the local area, so it was inevitable that she would have to eat and sleep in the open, and she could go or not.

Jia Zhengjian mentioned his home, so he stroked his beard and said, "Don't think too much, since I'm out, it's the most important thing for you to take care of the old lady with filial piety for me."

"-If you have something difficult to do in the house, the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao, Laisheng from the East Mansion, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang can all help you. I think that the affairs of this mother's family have been completed, so it can be seen that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang can also take care of some things now."

Here in Xifu, Jia Lian has not taken care of the foreign affairs of Rongfu for a long time, and Baoyu is still young and has never married a wife, let alone Jia Huan.

That's why Jia Zheng mentioned Jia Rong and Jia Qiang in Dongfu.

There are some things to usher in and send outside, and after all, a man needs to come forward.

Mrs. Wang sat opposite Jia Zheng at this time, took out an envelope and handed it over, and said, "Although the two of them are younger, it is useful to come to do things occasionally. At present, there is such a thing, my nephew in Jinling, that is, Sister Feng'er, and her brother are coming to Beijing, and they have already asked his father to send a letter to take charge of the official body. I can't reply to the conclusion, while the master is at home, it is best to see how this matter is handled?"

"A letter from the eldest lord of the royal family?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly took it and read the letter carefully.

He was familiar with the Wang Ren mentioned in the letter, and when he thought about it, he was afraid that it was this Wang Ren who sent Sister Feng to the Rong Mansion back then.

Now that Jia Lian has been awarded the title of uncle, and the virtuous concubine has been married again, people from other places have seen the prosperity of the Jia family, how can they not think about it.

In a moment, Jia Zheng finished reading the letter and tapped the table with one hand.

"This Renda is over thirty years old, and he has neither fame nor worldly office, let alone a place to raise hope, and has only done some miscellaneous work in the capital of the nine provinces. If I am asked to make arrangements, it will be difficult for a high position to do it, and a low position will inevitably hurt the feelings of relatives. It's better to let him go to the north again, and it's far better than following me to get a scholar and a political official to make a career now."

It stands to reason that he has been an adjutant for four or five years in the capital inspection office of the nine provinces of Wang Zitenna, and when the time comes, he will come out to see that he will put some effort into the affection of his relatives, not to mention the general army and generals, and a guerrilla in a border province is always worthy of it.

But Wang Ren just couldn't stand the pain of patrolling the border, so he ran back to Jinling, and at this time he just wanted to be a Beijing official, how could he still go.

Jia Zheng didn't know about this, but Mrs. Wang had heard of it, and after thinking for a while, she made a proposal.

「

is also Sister Feng's own brother, if the master is in a dilemma for a while, why don't you ask Lian Er to come over and discuss this matter together?"

"A woman's word!"

Jia Zheng dropped the letter and got up with a cold snort: "The elders are still there, where is the turn of the younger ones to handle these?"

Mrs. Wang knew that she had forgotten Jia Zheng's temperament for a while, and said the wrong thing, so she had to be silent at this time.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he turned around and said, "Okay, you can let him stay in Beijing for the time being, and the affairs of the official body will be arranged slowly...... Let's find Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to speak."

Seeing that Wang Ren's matter was settled for the time being, Mrs. Wang also got up and replied, "These two are not in the mansion, they are too sick to go down to the ground, and they have been busy with that matter for the past few days."

Jia Zheng immediately reacted to Ali, he was also busy for a while, and he forgot about it.

It's just that when it comes to this, Jia Zheng saw that he was going to leave Beijing, and he really didn't have time to visit, so he only asked Mrs. Wang to find a day to bring Baoyu over, which was considered to be a whole.

As for the things that were originally going to be instructed to Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, they were naturally handed over to Lin Zhixiao without mentioning them.

——

On the outskirts of Beijing, in the Xuanzhen Temple.

On this day, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are here.

Although it is rumored that he can't go to the ground, the spirit momentum of the eldest man Jia Jing is still acceptable, and he is sitting on the bed and eating with a bowl of porridge, while listening to Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.

The Jia family has had a major event recently, that is, the provincial relatives of the virtuous concubine.

"It's a big scene......

On the bed, Jia Jing was facing the picture of Tianzun hanging on the opposite wall, listening to the general pomp and circumstance of Yuanchun Province, and slowly spit out a few words in his mouth.

Jia Rong, who was on the edge of the bed, knelt down and said, "Please have a good life and cultivation, now Jia Menli is becoming more and more prosperous, even in the prince's mansion where he comes and goes, he has earned enough dignity. In the future, when people are prosperous, whoever sees it inside and outside the capital will say that our family is the strength of the glorious ancestors."

"Glory to the Ancestors?"

Jia Jing laughed twice and took the empty bowl away.

Seeing this, Jia Rong hurriedly knelt forward, took it with both hands, and put it aside to teach someone to take it down.

"What did Jia Lian say?"

"Second Uncle Lian?"

Jia Rong suddenly heard Jia Jing mention this, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, so she had to tell the truth about Jia Lian's actions on the day of the provincial kiss.

「…… Second Uncle Lian didn't say anything, but he was really drunk and made some embarrassing things. I heard that I was rebuked by my mother, so I got sick when I went back, and because there was no one there, my grandson didn't see him for a few days."

"He's sick too?" Jia Jing really smiled now, his body leaned back, the hat on his head also fell, and the crown was overwhelmed, and it took a while to stop.

"Master?"

Jia Rong carefully presented the square scarf.

"Since the family is so prosperous, there is no need to worry about my hopes, you can go."

Jia Jing closed his eyes and posed a contemplative handprint in front of him.

"I know that you and your Lao Tzu have been reading the title deed all these years, and I can't bear to put it under my nose, but I have saved the deed, and I don't know if I come to ascend. and when he returns, he will speak my words, and tell him not to have such a heart."

"Huh?"

Jia Rong looked up, but saw that Jia Jing only had words in his mouth, and he didn't speak anymore.

"Grandson listens to the teachings......"

Jia Rong put the square scarf on the side of the bed, hung her head and got up, and walked out of the door.

When she arrived at the stone pavilion outside the Xuanzhen Temple, Jia Rong was relieved, and after waiting for a while, she saw that Jia Qiang also came out of it.

Jia Qiang said: "The master's body is still strong, and he looks like he is blessed and long-lived, and I have repeatedly told the people in the temple to be careful."

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang laughed and talked about a few words, that is, they each rode down the mountain and came back to Beijing.

Following.

Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongfu, had just left Beijing, and a group of people were sent to the Tears Pavilion.

When he returned, he suddenly heard bad news.

Master Jing of Dongfu, in the Xuanzhen Temple, died-
