Yunzhu had relatives in her heart, and she was led to Jia Zheng by Lin Zhixiao step by step.

Dangdangdang.

Another set of enclosures is over.

"Don't be afraid, the second master just asks casually, and he is not a person who criticizes his subordinates." Lin Zhixiao saw that she was cautious, and couldn't help but comfort her.

Yun Zhu nodded, walked slowly to the pavilion, and when he came to Jia Zheng, he saluted decently, lowered his eyebrows and said, "The second master is fine." ”

"Hmm." Jia Zheng nodded sadly, looked up and down, and then picked up the teacup and played with it.

I saw him covering the bowl and wiping it back and forth, as if he had forgotten the purpose of calling her forward for a while, and as if he didn't know where to ask.

The air was stagnant and scorching, on the one hand, Jia Mu and Baoyu were elated underneath, and on the other hand, Jia Zheng's pretense was profound, Yun Zhu involuntarily rubbed his fingers in his sleeves, thinking about what the second master wanted to do.

"The three girls bought this excitement for the old lady." In one sentence, such a major measure as land contracting is characterized as a lively and playful activity, and Jia Zheng's literati spirit from his bones is fully revealed.

Seeing that the old lady was happy, he also had a little interest on his face, and asked again: "You put smoke in the lotus pond, what did you do?" ”

Yun Zhu nodded, "Back to the second master, the smoke is made by mixing frost on the tile with candle tears and powdered sugar. ”

"Well, young people's ideas are really bold." Jia Zheng was much more serious: "The paddle on the pulley you made also surprised me, so some things must be explained clearly!" ”

"Yes!"

Yunzhu was taken aback by this sudden seriousness, and immediately bowed to a more standard position, trembling and thinking about whether he should kneel down or something, when he saw Jia Zheng waving his hand, Lin Zhixiao hurriedly said: "Okay, it's none of your business, go down." ”

Hearing this, Yun Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, as early as when she started to collect tile frost, she had already made up a set of logical and self-consistent lies, who knew that Jia Zheng didn't ask a word.

It was inevitable to mumble in her heart, but in this tense atmosphere, she was still as honest as ever.

"That little girl, where did she come from?" Seeing Yunzhu walking away, Jia Zheng's tone was casual, his fingers tapped the folding fan, and he turned a deaf ear to the boiling sky in the Grand View Garden.

Orthodox Confucian education pays attention to a well-rooted and upright seedling, and Jia Zheng is concerned that the imperial court cannot be faked, so it is natural to think that a new trick appears and pays tribute at the right time to please the emperor.

However, the research and innovation of existing technology, even the colleagues of the Ministry of Industry, and even the subordinates at the forefront of research below, are almost headless flies, let alone a young person in the house?

He just had a few keen observations, Jia Zheng praised himself in his heart, and he only felt that he was the good general who was covered in dust, and His Majesty couldn't see his goodness for a long time.

"Yunzhu is a maid in the old lady's courtyard, the second grandmother bought it from the suburbs of Beijing three years ago, and was born in Zhaojia Village, Dayi County, under Chengdu Mansion, and now she is on an errand for making tea in the second master's courtyard." If it were someone else, Lin Zhixiao might not be able to be so straightforward, but because of his friendship with Xiaohong, he bothered to investigate so much, and now he is answering like a fluent when he comes back.

Jia Zheng was stunned: "Aren't you a craftsman at home?" ”

"Three generations of farmers, four years ago due to floods moved to Jiangxi Province, the following year due to locust plagues, migrated to the capital."

"You didn't understand what I meant." Jia Zheng emphasized again: "Where did she learn those ideas?" ”

"Self-taught...... Can the lord be trusted? ”

Jia Zheng shook his head: "Even the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry may not be able to use the pulley and bearings on the oars, not to mention that she taught herself, these things are only applied in water conservancy, how can she learn?" ”

"Baoyu went to teach the maids to read." Seeing Jia Zheng's brows, Lin Zhixiao hurriedly stopped, and said: "There is a way for the master to lead the door, and the cultivation is in everyone." A few little maids are the most talented in this Yunzhu, and after learning a thousand words for a few days, they often read some idle books by taking care of the errands in the study, and the second grandmother also knows it. ”

In fact, Mrs. Wang also knows, but in their eyes, as long as the direction of the little girl's heart is higher than the sky, as long as she doesn't climb the young master's bed, the wives and grandmothers won't care, just learn a few words, Baoyu is happy in it, why are they disappointed?

Jia Zheng was a little disappointed, and asked again: "The pulley and bearing are also from the book?" ”

Lin Zhixiao said: "This thing was made by a carpenter relative in the slave's family, but the drawings given by Yunzhu are too simple, and I don't know where she learned it for the time being." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng's eyes were like torches, and he swept over the crooked drawings, "Have you understood it beforehand?" ”

"Yes......" Lin Zhixiao was uneasy, and hurriedly sent out a sycophant: "The things in and out of the inner courtyard, for safety reasons, the minions will pay attention." ”

Jia Zheng didn't continue to ask, but he had a lot of regrets in his heart. Although he has come out of the Ministry of Industry, he actually had illusions before that.

Familiar with the sages, fantasizing about the appearance of the general is almost an open secret.

The old lady saw that the atmosphere was strange, she listened to the whole story, and asked: "Our family also has a craftsman team, since Zheng'er thinks she is talented, why don't you send her to the craftsman class?" ”

The family is a big family, and it is a good thing that the slaves and maids in the house are good at it, if they can, they will be sent to the right position after targeted training, which is far more valuable than a slave and maid who simply serves people.

"In the end, it's a woman's family, I'm afraid I can't afford to take on a big responsibility, let's take a look first." The words are not dead, but the smell of literati is still revealed.

The old lady didn't show it on her face, but her heart was smacking, so she grabbed her baby bump and stopped talking.

But said that Natian's mother got up from the water, asked the old lady to see clearly in the clairvoyant mirror, and watched Yunzhu use this smoke bomb to register in front of the masters, and she hated and was angry in her heart, but she didn't finish the errand that everyone explained.

It is said that the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Although there were some twists and turns, Yunzhu still grabbed the pond of six acres and three points of land as she wished, and she secretly smiled when she saw the engraved tooth tag fall into her hand.

"The steward said that you can't change the appearance of the yard, and you have to listen to the guidance of the garden craftsman every year to take care of the lotus pond." Fingers crossed with Xiaohong and said that the leaves are picked in March, the flowers are in May, and the lotus root can be dug after October, the koi in the lake can not be touched, and the rest of the shrimp and crabs can be fished according to the season......

Xiaohong was not interested, Yunzhu talked for a long time, and saw that she was still depressed, because she asked, "What's wrong with you?" But what's uncomfortable? ”

Xiaohong thought for a moment and sighed.

The second master is always strict, and her open-mouthed appearance happens to fall in the eyes of others today, which must make the second master unhappy.

She muttered in her heart, wanting to remedy it but didn't know where to start, after all, her father was in the position of the chief housekeeper, would she be ridiculed by others because of her daughter? So after thinking about it, he said to Yunzhu: "I still don't want to go out of the yard in the future." ”

It turned out to be a shame.

"The second master can't even get used to his own son." Yun Zhu hugged Xiaohong's shoulder and comforted softly.

Everyone in the mansion knows that Jia Zheng is cold-faced and cold-hearted, and his subordinates who have not been commanded by him are incomplete. But there is a good case, he never physically punishes people, and he just scolds it.

He only corporally punished Jia Baoyu.

Xiaohong listened, remembered the days when Baoyu was beaten, snorted, pursed her lips and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the excitement outside.

"What's wrong?"

"Check it out."

The two of them moved neatly, quickly cleaned up the pantry, and raised their feet to find the noisy place.

The white smoke in the lotus pond has not completely dissipated, and even the surrounding area is diffuse, and unconsciously even the canal rockery behind Yihong Courtyard is overflowing, and the female envoy walks in the meantime, like a dream.

"It's indeed fairy, what else do I do when you collect those candle tears, it's wonderful." Xiaohong whispered, seeing her mother-in-law pressing a few subordinates to take them out, both of them were confused.

How? Enclosure fighting?

It happened that Baoyu came from outside, frolicked for a long time, and the head was shining, and the two of them were busy helping to carry water to freshen up for him.

A few maids swabbed his hair around him, and he listened to Baoyu ask about the scooter and the smoke bomb for a while, but he began to be distracted when he listened, and his eyes looked at the maid who was sweeping outside the window.

Although Yunzhu told the process of frosting and candle tears on the tiles in a funny way, Baoyu still couldn't hide his stunned and didn't pay much attention to it.

When Daiyu entered the door, she saw Baoyu looking like she was out of heaven, she was looking for someone to talk to relieve her boredom, but now she can talk like a goose, so she hurriedly stepped forward and waved her hand in front of him.

Daiyu only thought that he was very tired today, and hurriedly asked what went wrong?

While talking, he sat down on the small round table on the side, Yunzhu smiled: "Miss Lin, please judge me, the second master of Shicaibao asked me to talk about scooters and smoke bombs for him, but I said a lot, and the second master didn't even give me a straight eye, which is really hurtful." ”

"Is he like this, he comes and goes on his own, I see it's a takeaway? It's so stupid. Daiyu was full of joy, and while speaking, she tucked the silk handkerchief in her hand on her cuffs, and was about to move Jia Baoyu's neck with both hands in a heart-hugging shape.

The slender hand swayed in front of him, and a beautiful fragrance rippled out, Baoyu suddenly came back to his senses and said: "But I'm tired, I always feel like I'm covered with something in front of me, and my sister is very good?" ”

Daiyu was talking about asking Mrs. Hu to use six kinds of porridge and soup today, and Yunzhu saw Baoyu's 'ouch', and there was a tendency to fall down, and she couldn't even take care of the handkerchief in her hand, so she hurriedly stepped forward.

It's just that she overestimated her strength, but instead she was tied to the two left and right feet of Musk Yue Qihail, and even Daiyu fell to the ground in the chaos.

The maids standing on the side were all frightened, and the snow goose was even more ahhh Are you alright? ”

Without waiting for Daiyu to shake her head, she saw Jia Baoyu holding her head and rolling wildly on the ground, her freshly bathed wet hair spread all over the ground, and her pale face suddenly frightened Daiyu into tears, "Quick, go and invite the old lady." ”

Wang Xifeng sat for nearly half a month to get a small confinement, and Mrs. Wang was anxious and worried for half a month.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was talking to everyone with a look of pity, and when she heard Lai bring people here, she sneered in her heart, but her face was flat, and she only said: "It seems that I am going to interrogate people today." ”

Seeing the mother-in-law gritting her teeth and not speaking, Mrs. Wang was annoyed, and after Zhou Rui's family observed her words, she stepped forward and said: "In the end, the second grandmother is young and has nothing to do, so I understand that she can't convince the public." What's wrong? Looking at the fact that our wife is a bodhisattva, she dares to be a demon in the inner house? ”

As he spoke, he threw a bag of red paper villains in front of the woman, raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "I have explained the beginning and the end, and I can spare your life!" Otherwise, according to the temperament of our master, he will be sent to the court of the Criminal Department to see if you can eat the board of the official family! ”

This three-hall trial, that box of chickens flying and dogs jumping, dignified and state-of-the-art, suddenly someone went out to find a doctor, suddenly someone went out to find a monk, and suddenly went to the coffin shop.

Zhao San, who had been paying attention to the movements in Jiafu, was anxious, but there was no way to ask for help, but one night, the corners of Zhao San's mouth were blistered.

This matter 'coincidentally' became an excerpt of impeachment and flew to the emperor's desk.

The old emperor held a red pen, squinted his eyes and scratched the fold, and said in a rambling voice: "This old man is disobedient, and he returned to the capital without squeaking." Why, the official I begged for was not satisfied again? ”

The eunuch didn't know why.

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that the old lady of Jiafu was sick, so I ...... "What is this?" When the officials returned to Beijing privately, it was for filial piety, and they should also hand over the guilty plenum, so that they could be considered decent for the monarch and ministers.

Xia Shouzhong, the old boy, has been running to Jiafu diligently recently, but he didn't mention anything at all, so he had to ask what was going on when he turned around.

The old emperor raised his eyebrows, with some doubts, and then replied to the fold, and then said: "Go, I want to think about it...... How about going to Hainan? ”

The eunuch should be, but the appearance of the concubine of the Jia family with a big belly came to mind, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart, the concubine is about to give birth, but His Majesty wants to send the concubine's biological father, what does it mean?

Jia Baoyu was still unconscious in bed, and the will of the palace arrived at Jiafu.

This time it was not as gentle as before, first reprimanded the Jia family's feudal superstition for engaging in witchcraft, and then criticized Jia Zheng for leaving his post without permission and not abiding by his duties, and finally appeased the old lady with a few words.

Jiafu, which is proud of the spring breeze in the middle of the day, was splashed with a bucket of cold water on the head in the sunny day in March, and the various mansions in Beijing are more eager to move around, but they all invariably exclude Jiafu.

"Your Majesty has hurt his face since the East Palace, and his style of acting has become more and more impermanent." sent away the eunuch who announced the decree, and on the face of Jia Yu's inquiry, Jia Zheng held the holy decree with both hands, and his face was solemn.

Somehow, he had a feeling of helplessness in his heart that I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.

At this moment, the sun is setting, it is already evening, and even the Grand View Garden is no longer the frolicking and happy of the past, obviously this holy decree of Jia Zheng has frightened many people.

Simply excluding the heartless duo, Yunzhu and Xiaohong sneaked out of the yard, admiring the world they had worked hard to build in the rockery, and just as you squeezed me and I squeezed you jokingly, I saw someone in the distance entering Yihong Courtyard.

The figure in the silver-red gold silk pomegranate skirt, with beads and gemstones on her head, is the aunt Zhao who should not be underestimated in the inner house.

What did she come to do?
