Chapter 67: Treading the snow and looking for plums
Jia Jing didn't know that Jia Zhen had now started to plot to seize his property, and even wanted to pull him into the water and let him mess around in Ningguo Mansion with him, even if he knew Jia Jing, he would only sneer at Jia Zhen's delusional death!
Jia Jing went to Rongguo Mansion when he was close to Mao, the sky was still bright Jia Jing went to Rongxi Hall to ask Jia's mother to ask for peace, Jia's mother got up early when she was older, Jia Jing returned to Xuanzhen Temple after asking Jia's mother to say goodbye, Xuanzhen Temple is not many people left now, Qingfeng is going to arrange Kun position, Ye Shi is also busy with his layout, Wang Fuzhong is now letting him send him to engage in industry, and most of the remaining talents he has found in recent years have also been sent out by him to experience.
However, the Xuanzhen Temple is not empty, the Xuanzhen Temple has been collecting innocent orphans all over the country for five years, so there are always people in the Xuanzhen Temple who are training, and the current Xuanzhen Temple is more like a military school than a Taoist temple, Jia Jing will also come over to cultivate a relationship with these people when he is idle and study, train and eat with them.
Jia Jing honestly trained with the students in Xuanzhen Temple for a long time, but saw a few Taoist priests come over and say that there were people in the front house, saying that the old ladies had gone to Huifang Garden to feast and enjoy the plums, and called the second master to go back to the house for dinner, Jia Jing got on the horse to go back to the house, and when he arrived at the gate of Ningguo Mansion, he saw a man with two gold teeth coming over, and when he saw him, he immediately nodded and said, "The second master is back?" β
Jia Jing glanced at him and hummed lightly, the person who came was Lai Sheng, the big housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion who was honest after Jia Jing cleaned up, Jia Jing didn't want to pay attention to him, and got off the horse and walked to the mansion by himself.
Jia Jing strode all the way through, but happened to bump into a shadow at the corner of the corridor, the person sighed, Jia Jing frowned and said, "What are you doing recklessly?" The shadow trembled, then raised her head and glanced at Jia Jing with a faint and resentful look, bowed her head and saluted: "I have seen the second uncle, but it was the second aunt of Xifu who sent someone to say that the old lady wanted to see us, so she left in a hurry and collided with the second uncle." β
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, and her face softened a little, but it was Qin Keqing and her maid Ruizhu in front of the meeting, Jia Jing nodded and said lightly: "I'm also about to go." Qin Keqing's eyes lit up a little and said quietly: "Then the second uncle wants to go with the slave family?" Jia Jing frowned slightly, took a half step back unnaturally, and coughed lightly: "No need, I'll go back and change my clothes first, you can go to yours first." β
After speaking, he hurriedly passed past Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing opened his mouth lightly, and finally sighed softly without saying anything, gently rubbed his chest that was a little painful because he had just bumped into Jia Jing, and led Ruizhu away.
Jia Jing let out a long breath, silently reciting the Qingjing Sutra in his heart, and learning the trick he learned in his previous life, recalling the old woman's face in his heart, and sighed with a wry smile: "All hues are vain, it's really not so easy......" There is really no man who can refuse Qin Keqing's appearance, just standing there just now Jia Jing looked at it twice, and his heart was about to move, if he went all the way with her again, Jia Jing was afraid that he would lose his temper!
So he hurriedly excused himself and left, and after returning to his room, he looked at the room full of immodest things, shook his head with a wry smile, took off the Taoist robe on his body and hung it on the shelf next to him, and respectfully offered the dust given by the emperor, and then changed into a moon white round neck narrow-sleeved shirt and scattered the Taoist bun and tied it to his head with a hosta and went out.
At this time, it was almost winter, but Jia Jing was only wearing single clothes, and did not see the slightest hint of shrinking cold, and strode towards the direction of Huifangyuan, and when he got close to Huifangyuan, he stopped a maid and knew that Jia Mu and others had set up a banquet in the pavilion in the garden in front, and Jia Jing walked towards that side, this morning was a little cloudy, and now there were snowflakes directly floating in the sky.
The snowflakes of Shenjing City are as big as goose feathers, melodious and melodious can be spread all over the earth in a short time, Jia Jing stepped on the snow and walked along the way with his own snow-white or fiery plum blossoms, which naturally had a unique flavor, through a plum forest, close to the pavilion, and listened to the sound of laughter in the pavilion, Jia Jing walked over with a smile.
I saw that the windward part of this pavilion was wrapped in silk, I don't know how many gold silk and jade wisps were wasted, the pavilion was full of warblers and swallows, and a few big maids wearing red and green stood there to serve, or holding a copper basin of hot water or a soup woman's cloak or the like, or incense burner, or mung bean noodles and fragrant tea that cleaned hands, extremely luxurious, and there were a few braziers with silver frost and charcoal in the pavilion, and there was no smoke and dust, but when entering the pavilion, the warm fragrance hit people.
At this time, everyone in the pavilion naturally also saw Jia Jing, stepping on the snow from a plum forest to find plums, wearing a scribe's robe, it really looked like a fairy in the sky, Tanchun smiled: "Why did the second brother come from the plum forest?" Jia Mu hurriedly called him in, Jia Jing smiled and entered the pavilion, two maids had already stepped forward to clear the snow for Jia Jing, Jia Jing sat next to Daiyu, and said to Tanchun next to him with a smile: "You don't understand this, right?" This is called treading the snow to find plums, what is the fun in this pavilion? You have to be in the middle of Merlin to have a different taste! β
The sisters who listened to the words were fascinated, and a girl at the banquet stood up directly and said, "The old lady and sisters are waiting, I will go to the plum forest to pick the most beautiful flowers for you!" Jia Jing found out that there was one more today, the girl was born with a slender body, and a slender waist, white as jade, and generous, but it was Jia's mother's niece and granddaughter, the eldest lady of the Baoling Marquis Mansion of the Shi family, Wang Xue, and the four major families of Jia Shi, Wang Xue.
Daiyu chuckled and said, "I advise you to sit down as soon as possible!" If you really go out and get a cold or something, it's not stubborn! Jia Jing also smiled: "Yun'er is here too?" Shi Xiangyun nodded and said with a smile: "I came here last night!" You didn't see me! β
Jia Jing gave Shi Xiangyun a thumbs up, and Shi Xiangyun raised his little head, as if this was something to be proud of...... Everyone couldn't help but laugh for a while, only Daiyu smiled and raised her eyebrows, Yun'er?
Jia Jing has naturally seen Shi Xiangyun, the old Baoling Hou is a member of the founding of the country, the founding of the country after the merit of the Baoling Hou, the official to the Shangshu Lingling, this is the prime minister's general official position, ruling the world can not be said to be a high power, the old Baoling Hou gave birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter is the wife of Dai Shangong, that is, the current Jia's mother, and the only son gave birth to three sons, the eldest son died early, leaving only an orphan daughter, it is Shi Xiangyun.
The three brothers of the Shi family have all been trained on the battlefield, Shi Xiangyun's father sacrificed on the battlefield and made great contributions, the heavenly family rewarded the Marquis of Baoling without having to be demoted, and the third brother of the Shi family, Shi Ding, also made a contribution, and the eldest brother died, naturally he was able to open another merit to seal the Marquis of Zhongjing, Shi Xiangyun's father had no son, only Xiangyun's daughter, so his second brother Shi Nai attacked the long house.
At this point, the historian has changed the court, from the founding martial arts to the Hongzhi minister, and it is a double marquis, which can be described as the limelight, but in fact, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the historian seems to be a double marquis, but in fact, he knows his own suffering, and the old Baoling Hou is good at seeking the country and not good at seeking a career The historian almost lived by the emperor's reward at that time, almost just barely supporting the faΓ§ade of the historian.
As a result, when it came to Shi Nai and Shi Ding's brothers, it was true that there was not much family business left, and they went out to the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion alone, which naturally became more and more difficult...... Hongzhi heroes actually did not have much actual reward, when the Taizu Dynasty was beating Mengyuan and beating the Japanese on the southeast coast, the military expenditure was already overrun, or in the later period of the Yuan Wu Dynasty, Taizu worked hard to kill corrupt officials and people's livelihood to relieve the momentum.
Originally, according to Taizu's assumption, the next emperor should be an emperor who is more important to civil rule, so that it is natural to be benevolent and govern the world, and naturally create a prosperous Dayan, but it was Taishang Huang who ascended the throne, and Taishang Huang played more ruthlessly than Taizu, beating Annan to the south, and completely crushing Mengyuan into a tribe to the north, although it did ensure the peace around Dayan Hongzhi, but at the same time, Dayan couldn't pay a penny at all......
So much so that the Hongzhi meritorious officers actually didn't get much actual money, gold and silver rewards, how could Lord Hongzhi be willing? They're really willing......
Of course, it's not because they are high-spirited and bright, and their heads are pinned to the waistband of their trousers, isn't it just to seal their wives and sons? How could it really be for Dayan's long-term peace and stability...... Emperor Taishang offered a price that they couldn't refuse, that is, three generations of raids, small merit according to the middle merit, and medium merit according to the big merit, which is why the historian so simply came out with a double marquis.
If the Shi family is really a double marquis at the time of the founding of the country, it is naturally much better than the Jia family, but in fact, this is actually the emperor Taishang did this in order to compensate the heroes of Hongzhi, otherwise, the Shi family's death of the eldest son is not enough to make Shi Nai and Shi Ding become the marquis.
This is also the reason why the founding heroes have fallen into this virtue and still look down on Lord Hong Zhi, but no matter how much they look down on it, the army is still the world of Lord Hong Zhi, which is why Lord Hong Zhi looks down on the founding heroes, it is these two reasons that make today's founding heroes and Lord Hong Zhi on the same footing.
It is precisely because of this that Jia Jing was able to know Shi Xiangyun, because the Shi family is too poor, and can only barely support the pomp and circumstance of the Guogong Mansion, and the Bowling Marquis Shi Nai is still an out-and-out wall-riding faction, saying that he is the founding father, it can be regarded as saying that he is a hero of Hongzhi, although the heroes of Hongzhi do not recognize him, but for the sake of Shi Ding and his eldest brother's face, it is barely reasonable, so Shi Nai is simply not a person inside and out, and both sides have an ambiguous attitude towards him, and it is naturally impossible for him to be of great use in such a complex situation.
The result of betting on both sides can only be that both sides do not recognize it...... In the end, the grains were not harvested.
Therefore, Shi Nai can only "squat at home", and if he can't go out to do things, he naturally doesn't have much income, and he is not good at business, and he is very stingy, so all the expenses of the Shi family are now saved again and again, and in the end, he actually asked these sisters to be female celebrities day and night to save some money or for their own use!
Xiangyun said that she missed her mouth when she was young, and her sisters took pity on her, so she often asked Baoyu to beg Jia's mother to pick her up from time to time to come and live for a while, and Jia's mother naturally knew what kind of virtue his nephew was, so he was happy to take Xiangyun over, so Shi Xiangyun was almost inseparable from Jia's mother's side, and only occasionally went home to live for a while.
Although Jia Jing practiced in Xuanzhen Temple, she could be seen when she went home occasionally, Jia Jing heard her sisters say that Xiangyun was miserable, Jia Jing watched coldly and found that Xiangyun was really the same as written in the book, he was happy all day long, and never cried to himself about how miserable he was at home, Jia Jing has always admired people who like such self-improvement and optimism, and naturally appreciates Xiangyun's cheerfulness and boldness.
It's just that Daiyu obviously doesn't think so......
