Chapter 14 The Manchu and Han Banquets

As Shen Miao'er said, Imperial Doctor Shen has an old bone, and he has to be often tired out of the palace to consult people, and sure enough, people can't be too famous.

Imperial Doctor Shen checked Jin Jiaojiao's pulse, and after seeing her previous prescription, he just stroked his long beard and frowned, telling Jin Wen that if he asked him to prescribe this medicine, the dosage would be no different from the previous doctor.

"Physical illness is easy to treat, but heart disease is difficult to treat, only self-transcendence."

"Miss, this level can only rely on herself."

Jin Wen, who was anxious, felt that his words were tantamount to saying that Jin Jiaojiao was terminally ill and waiting to collect the body.

On this day, Jin Jiaojiao just took the medicine and fell asleep, Jin Wen went out to deal with business, the family industry is huge, in the past two months, it is basically Steward Wang and his son Wang Hu in front, but many accumulated affairs still have to be handled by Jin Wen himself.

Xi'er waited in front of Jin Jiaojiao's hospital bed, her eyes were red like rabbits, and she didn't know how many times she secretly cried in private.

She sat on the side, babbling about the recent interesting events in Bianjing, regardless of whether the patient in the bed could hear it or not, whether she wanted to hear it or not.

"Miss, don't you know yet, Na Leshu's beast father thought that she flew on the branch and became a phoenix, so he found the Yan family to blackmail, she is so vicious, she deserves this kind of father, it is really a thing to drop a thing."

"Also, that hateful Yan Huaizhen was late on duty the day before yesterday, and on the way home, he was beaten up with a sack, compiled by the dignified Hanlin, the Tanhua given by His Majesty, was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, but yesterday His Majesty sacrificed to the sky, he had to be among the entourage, and he was not allowed to take leave, with that pig's head face," Xi'er became more and more excited, "It's really relieving, Miss get better quickly, maybe you can appreciate Tanhualang's current appearance, and you won't be able to see it when it's too late." ”

"Xi'er girl," Mother Liu came in with a basin of water to change Jin Jiaojiao's handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Miss is seriously ill, and the doctor said that she needs to recuperate, you can stop a little." ”

"It's okay, let her talk more, I love to hear it."

Mother Liu and Xi'er looked at each other in surprise, and after a moment, they looked together into the bed curtain.

"Go on" Jin Jiaojiao's eyes were heavy, and because she had slept for too long, her pale mouth was covered with dry lips.

"Which knight did what I wanted to do the most but didn't have time to do?" The tone was still very weak, but with a smile, Jin Jiaojiao struggled to support the upper half of her body, trying to sit up.

Xi'er was the first to react, and stepped forward excitedly to hug Jin Jiaojiao, "Miss, you are sober." ”

Jin Jiaojiao, who was as weak as a fledgling, was strangled and almost fainted again, coughing for a while.

"Xi'er, I just woke up, do you want to murder me?"

Mother Liu hurriedly put down the basin, pulled the two of them apart, and summoned other maids to tell Jin Wen the good news that the young lady had woken up.

The dark clouds hanging over the head of the Jin Mansion have a tendency to dissipate.

The doctor came to check the pulse again, and finally showed a smiling face, saying that the high fever had completely subsided, and he would be careful to raise for a while, and there must be no major problems.

Jin Wenwen came to discuss business with the merchants, and when he heard that the maid was polite, he was so happy that he lost his language ability, and the business was not discussed, so he immediately went home and staged a father-daughter relationship.

The old tearful Jin Wen: "That dog official, he really deserved to be beaten, and I also got to know the person who cleaned him up, I really have courage and courage." ”

Jin Jiaojiao originally thought that her father arranged for the thugs to do it.

Xi'er said mysteriously: "I heard rumors in the market that there were watchmen who saw the chivalrous and righteous people that night, they were two men in black, but they were masked, and the watchmen did not see their true faces. ”

"Presumably, there are a lot of people who have offended that surnamed Yan," Jin Jiaojiao's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, "I really want to go and see his bear-like appearance now." ”

Everyone laughed, Xi'er suddenly thought of something, and said: "There is another thing that is quite strange, after the young lady fell ill, when I took the family to clean up the notices printed with the young lady's contract on the street, I found that someone took the first step and had already cleaned up all the confetti in advance, leaving no one." ”

"It must be the kind people that Miss once helped to secretly do good deeds to repay Miss's kindness."

Jin Jiaojiao thought about it again and again, and couldn't remember who she had helped.

What Xi'er doesn't know is that it's just the temptation of money.

......

"You, you, let's take care of your body first," Jin Wen poked her fair forehead dotingly, "After this experience, I can see through it, why are your families still farther away from the officials in the future, and there will be less trouble." After you and the Yan family get married, your father will find you a good family affair. ”

"......" It seems that her father has been pitted out of the shadows, Jin Jiaojiao didn't want to give up, and struggled: "Daddy, not everyone is like that Yan Huaizhen, like Lord Liu of the Criminal Department, just ......"

"He can be your father." Jin Wen's eyelids jumped wildly in shock, and he yelled and directly interrupted Jin Jiaojiao's words.

Jin Jiaojiao explained funny: "No, Dad, where do you want to go, I mean that an official like Lord Liu is very good, and he knows everything, thanks to Lord Liu's help this time, we should really thank people." ”

"By the way, why have I never heard my father mention that you still have such a friendship with Lord Liu of the Criminal Department?"

Jin Wen's face changed in an instant, "What kind of friendship I can have with him is their duty as officials." Perfunctory: "Okay, okay, your condition has just improved, hurry up and lie down and take care of it, I still have a lot of things to deal with." ”

"Xi'er, take good care of Miss."

After giving the order, Jin Wen slipped away directly, as if this Lord Liu was like a beast in a flood, and even hearing others mention it seemed to be violating his taboo.

Indicates that he does not want to mention this person.

Jin Jiaojiao muttered in her heart: Where is the responsibility of others, then take Mr. Xiao Shan's calligraphy and painting and let me come to the door to beg others to save you; also said that there was no friendship, no friendship, and lied to others that it was a family heirloom?

The more Jin Jiaojiao thought about it, the more confused she became, and her intuition told her that there must be some secret or transaction between the two of them. It's a pity that she can't get half a word out of Jin Wen's old fox's mouth.

Forget it, it's a long time coming.

Two major news from Bianjing:

The first thing: Jin Jiaojiao, the eldest lady of the Jin Mansion who was notorious and used thunderbolt means to marry into Shifujun, was ruthlessly withdrawn from the marriage by the Yan family, and the people applauded one after another, this marriage is good! Whoever marries such a misbehaving woman is unlucky.

The second thing: Lord Yan of Hanlin Academy is engaged to Ouyang Qingzhi, the youngest daughter of the Ouyang family, a talented and beautiful woman, a scholar and a famous family, and everyone in the world praises this is a good marriage. The wedding date of the two was set after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was really happy and blessed.

When she received the news, Jin Jiaojiao's illness was already well.

is still arrogant, still has a heart higher than the sky, and still has no heart and lungs......

A little Leshu, she couldn't beat her, she was bitten by a dog she raised, and she didn't have a dog in the future.

After a while, the gossip and slander and insults about her gradually faded away.

It's just that after she recovered from her illness, Jin Jiaojiao began to ponder the great obsession of being an official's wife again. Then she fell into a bottleneck in her life, because she was at a loss to break her head. She only hates that women can't take entrance exams, otherwise she wouldn't need to rely on men.

Jin Wen really didn't want her to go back to the old path, and began to secretly investigate the son-in-law of a famous merchant in Bianjing. The status of the Jin family in the business world, even if there is something about Jin Jiaojiao, there is still no shortage of people who are in a hurry.

It didn't take long for many families to show favor to Jin Wen with the intention of getting married, and Jin Wen did find several good candidates in these people's homes.

One evening, Jin Jiaojiao was kicking shuttlecocks with Xi'er in the garden, and the next person came to say that Jin Wen had set up a full banquet in Wankelai, and asked Jin Jiaojiao to pack up and go to the banquet, so as to celebrate the initial recovery from a serious illness and rebirth after the catastrophe.

Jin Jiaojiao, who was having a good time, didn't understand what medicine was sold in her father's gourd, after all, there was no need for a small celebration to be so grand, most of the relatives and friends of the Jin family were not in Beijing, so it was really outrageous for the two of them to celebrate and charter the entire Wanke - extravagant and wasteful.

Although she was suspicious, Jin Jiaojiao still followed the instructions and carefully dressed up to go to the banquet.

As soon as the guests came, Jin Jiaojiao noticed the clues, not the New Year's Day, but the decoration of the ten thousand guests was much more lively and elegant than usual, the lights were colorful, and the upstairs and downstairs were full of gorgeous roses and moon seasons.

There is weirdness in the festivities.

The shopkeeper politely led her to the second floor, pointed to the direction of the private room, and stepped back.

Jin Jiaojiao was confused, and walked to the door of the private room, where she was laughing and feasting, obviously her father was not alone.

She was even more puzzled, could it be that she invited the Jin family's partners to celebrate.

Jin Jiaojiao pushed open the door, all of them were young children, all of them were handsome, and there were two or three of them that she had dealt with, namely the second son of Li's medicine store, the third son of Chu's Qianzhuang, the eldest son of Chen's liquor store, plus the other nine face-to-face children, a total of twelve sons.

Everyone turned their eyes to Jin Jiaojiao, who was stunned at the door, if it weren't for her father Jin Wen sitting at the main table, she really thought that she had gone to the wrong room.

No wonder when she left the house, Liu's mother smiled meaningfully, and even Xi'er's girl excused herself to say that she had other things to do at night and took a day off, which turned out to be premeditated.

Jin Jiaojiao glanced at all the young talents embarrassedly, it was really a well-deserved "Han" full seat.

Who can afford this?

Jin Wen on the main seat was full of red light, it seemed that he had drunk a lot, so he kindly pulled his daughter and began to introduce the young people present to her one by one.

In the face of this blind date in disguise, twelve at a time, Jin Jiaojiao just wanted to run away, but Jin Wen pulled her too tightly and couldn't run away at all, so she had to say hello to others with a smirk.

After a circle, Jin Jiaojiao felt that her face was so stiff that she didn't belong to her, and her eyes were aesthetically tired, and she successfully developed misogyny, including Jin Wen.

The key is that her unaware father still glared at her, father and daughter for more than ten years, this tacit understanding is still there, Jin Jiaojiao immediately understood the meaning of his eyes.

Despite the selection, see who will pack and take it away, the building and the building are all their own people, they have already been arranged, don't be afraid, Dad will escort you throughout the process.

Jin Jiaojiao took advantage of everyone's inattention and stepped on Jin Wen under the table, her father must have thought that her reputation was not bad enough, so he came to trick her again.

Jin Wen Ninja's feet hurt, his smile gradually distorted, and Jin Jiaojiao, who wanted to cry without tears, felt that every minute was tormented, and then ......

Then her father left the next sentence, "You young people eat and drink slowly, and he won't bother much as an old man."

And ran away.......

A room full of people was chatting awkwardly.
