121 Jinling floods
The prince of Beijing asked to marry the girl of the Xue family as a side concubine, and His Majesty agreed, and the imperial decree personally gave such dignity, which became the biggest news in the capital in March, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns.
The ministers twisted their beards and laughed at each other, and when they were extremely satisfied with the success of this game with the emperor, the back house was also envious.
Shinong Industry and Commerce.
In the era of clear classes, it is unbelievable that the daughter of a merchant family can become a princess.
And when the news was received in Jiafu, everyone was even more stunned, and they couldn't believe that this was something they had heard with their own ears.
The information that explodes like this is usually with its own wings, and it can fly all over the place by itself without being transmitted, and Yihong Courtyard, where there are many people, cannot be stopped.
called the autumn in the second half of the year and the illness in front of her to drag her Baoyu, and after hearing this, she raised her head blankly, "Which King of Beijing?" Do you want Sister Bao to be a concubine? ”
Qi Fei hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the water, and then collected the books in front of him, and said comfortingly: "Jingzhong is naturally the Jingbei prince of the Shui family, besides him, there are others who dare to call this name a secret?" ”
As for the wives and concubines, no one dares to say anything nonsense.
Although it is said that if it is not a wife, it is naturally a concubine, but the royal concubine, who dares to say that it is a concubine? Could it be that the eldest girl and Aunt Zhao can be equated?
Baoyu's expression gradually turned red, regardless of her emaciation, she got up and kept digging something in the cage behind the bed.
"Ouch, ancestor, what are you looking for to tell us, what is this for?" Musk Yue took care of the sachet's hand, stepped forward and kept picking up the clothes thrown by Baoyu, and hurriedly persuaded in his mouth, for fear that something would go wrong.
The maids also stopped and pulled, but they didn't dare to use force, and they stepped forward one by one as if they were singing a big drama and were thrown out.
When there was a mess, I heard Jia Baoyu pull out the knife, followed by a click, and the blade met the tabletop, making a dull sound.
The mouth airway called Mingyan to send the purse 'corpse' that was opened in half to the Beijing Palace, saying that he would cut off his robe and never go back and forth again, and then he went back and forth in the house like a headless fly, and he didn't read the book anymore and didn't write the words.
It was not right to use the strength of the recuperation to go here, and it was not possible to send it there, so he simply took the whip and waved it in the courtyard.
"It can be seen that the body is very good." When Yunzhu saw it, she was happy, and she saved Mrs. Wang from staring at Yihong Courtyard every day, and everyone was afraid that they would be laid off if they made a mistake.
But.
Among them, the most angry is Mrs. Wang, she tried her best to help Baochai to the position of the second grandmother of the Jia family, and painstakingly washed her life experience, even the stain of Xue Pan has been manipulated by the Jia and Wang families to change their names and surnames, and they will soon follow Wang Ziteng to take office.
Besides, Baochai, although his biological father died early, he can handle everything in his appearance, and his uncle is still under the control of the nine provinces, and he has a reputation for running in order to run for the election......
What's it called now?
Killing chickens is not a counter-erosion of rice? Or do you make wedding garments for others?
"It's just been two days since it stopped, and it's easy for the master to take office, but now it's good, Baoyu is studying, we can't even breathe in the atmosphere!" Xiaohong was hopscotch with a few little maids in the backyard, and she was asking everyone to catch her.
I don't know if it's a personal grudge or public indignation, Lai everyone's frowns and eyes don't speak, but they just pulled Xiaohong in front of Zhou Rui's family, and they sued her.
Fortunately, Zhou Rui's cleverness was once again, and he refused to be caught between the Lai and Lin families, so he only thundered and rained Xiaohong again, and then let him go.
"Qiu Yu is in the middle of the year, and since he said that he wants to participate, he must not return empty-handed, and his wife's move is also a godson's heart. Don't be angry, do you look good at this new hibiscus? ”
The main thing is that it's useless to be angry, people take care of everything, and they didn't even give her a chance to jump, it seems that because of the enclosure, the Lai family can be regarded as hating the Lin family, and they don't even let go of the children.
His eyes fell on the pot of white hibiscus, but Xiaohong didn't know why, her face turned red, and she said calmly: "It's very good-looking." But then again, things that don't look good won't be sent to our Yihong Courtyard. ”
"Yes, Second Master Yun specially scolded people, this year's shed has bred a pot of crimson in the shed, and said that such a delicate color, I don't know it anywhere else, so I want to ask Yihong Courtyard to appreciate it first." Yun Zhu deliberately bit on the word "first reward", and the smile in Xiaohong's eyes became more and more unable to hide.
Xiaohong snorted and diverted the topic: "I see that your handwriting is stronger than last year, can you write a Spring Festival couplet for me?" ”
"Or do you know how to appreciate, Baoyu said that my word is an earthworm hanging!" Yun Zhu looked at Jia Baoyu's words noncommittally, and asked Xiaohong excitedly: "Where is it?" I'll have to flip through the books, and I'll pick one for you!" ”
What she practiced was a serious face, but it wasn't much like it now.
"I ......"
“??” Yunzhu tilted her head to look at her.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to the second grandmother for some time, and when the second grandmother doesn't need me, I'll ......" Xiaohong hesitated, thinking about how to explain that she was going to leave Yihong Courtyard in a few days.
It turned out to be this, Yunzhu comforted and said, "What are these words?" It's about the future, so don't worry about it. ”
She has long known that since Xiaohong contacted Jia Yun, she has been dangling in front of Wang Xifeng intentionally or unintentionally. Later, Tanchun became the master, and she also showed great enthusiasm for helping, if it wasn't for the position of the second wife Yun, Yunzhu wouldn't believe it.
Now that her chance has come, the time is ripe to jump out of this strange circle, and Yunzhu sincerely sent a pair of couplets that are thousands of miles away.
A small sprinkled gold and red paper, with more than a dozen words in order, can just be pasted inside the clothing box, as if it is a unique secret between two children.
Seeing that she was sincere and proper, Xiaohong only felt very guilty.
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure about it, I don't dare to tell you, I'm even more afraid of causing people to stir up pornography, and I'm afraid of affecting you." She choked in a low voice, not daring to look at Yunzhu's sparkling eyes.
In the eyes of people outside, there is nothing bad about being a slave of Rongguo Mansion, eating three meals well, having enough clothes for four seasons, rich rewards in the season, and being decent when walking outside.
But some people know that this is not the case, one is Zhao Lu, who has seen a better world, and the other is Lin Hongyu, who will soon be able to run towards a better life.
Zhao Lu is now shackled to this little doll, unable to move, and does not dare to move. Lin Hongyu already has her own wrist and family as confidence, and she can rush to a new life just by lifting her skirt.
How can this not be envied?
The two of them got together, and one gourd in one hand added water to the starling who was bathing.
Seeing that Xiaohong was frustrated, Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "Don't say that, the second grandmother has a wide hand, and if you go, it's like a brocade of money!" It's very enviable. ”
Xiao Hongguaner, "Gou is rich and noble, and he will not forget each other." ”
In the end, it is Wang Xifeng's resolute and resolute temperament, or now that he intends to let go, the speed of this work is still the same as usual, and early the next morning, Xiaohong rolled up and went out of Yihong Courtyard.
Jia Baoyu was still immersed in the stimulation brought to him by the water solution, and Xiaohong was not the top in front of him on weekdays, so he only kowtowed and rewarded something, and then waved her to go, very casually.
Seeing this, Qi Hail said that he would cook a cup of lotus seed soup for him, and he didn't go to his heart. Jia Baoyu couldn't take care of the discomfort for a while, and after reading the book for a while, he shouted that he wanted to invite Sister Lin to swim in the lake, in short, he finished reading the book and touring the lake today, and he enjoyed the lotus after reading the book tomorrow, and climbed the height after reading the book the day after tomorrow, so he really didn't make this big garden idle for a moment.
But reading, it's done sloppily.
The subsets of the imperial examinations are boring and boring, and they often have to eat tea and pay tribute after turning a few pages, sit on the desk for a while, lean on the couch for a while, and then read idle books, and then it is time to relax with the sisters.
It's usually a slap on the ass and going out without any nostalgia.
Without a playmate, Yun Zhu had to follow the door of the study step by step to serve, Jia Baoyu jingled the bell to scourge the study, Yun Zhu silently cleaned up, and even took more and more time to read and write, even Lin Zhixiao laughed at her, I am afraid that she can learn to enter the account room by herself and become the smallest 'abacus'.
In the blink of an eye, it was June, and Mrs. Hu excitedly entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with the news, pulled Yunzhu and said, "Good girl, I was admitted!" Got in! ”
The news reached Daiyu's ears, and Daiyu smiled: "This is good! ”
"Really learned!" Jia Baoyu said one after another, and when he saw Daiyu laughing, he also laughed, and whispered proudly in Daiyu's ear: "Now no one dares to say that Mrs. Hu is a village woman, as soon as she enters the hospital, she will be an official of the sixth grade, and Mrs. Hu will also be a real official lady in the future!" ”
In this way, it is justified to stay in the inner house for a long time as a female dependent, and to be in charge of the affairs of the noble daughter's recuperation.
Although the time of entry has not yet been determined, Hu Junrong's name is on the red list of Tai Hospital.
"It's smoking, it's smoking!" Hu Junrong burst into tears, covered his face and wept, forced himself to go to the guarantor's house to see the ceremony, and invited the imperial doctor to thank him.
When he walked to the front of the house, he called a few beggars to make a move, and scattered a handful of copper coins, and then went to Liu's house next door.
When he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, he turned around and went to the corner of the street to buy a lot of peanut candy and pig's head meat, with side dishes in his left hand and water wine in his right hand. ”
The second sentence is, "It's a pity that the sixth girl is not here, my old bones are kowtowing to her!" ”
It is said that the more you listen to the news, the more you will be smart, because Zhao Liu is on an errand in the Guogong Mansion, Zhao San and his family pay special attention to the affairs between these nobles on weekdays, and now they see Hu Junrong entering the Tai Hospital, and they feel that the days are brighter, and Zhao San, who is the strictest in the world, also made two glasses of water and wine for the first time.
Seeing that the two of them were happy, Hu Junrong poured a basin of cold water, full of frustration, "This luck is good or bad, you should also be cautious in Beijing." ”
"What's wrong?"
Hu Junrong shook his head first and threw a mouthful of peanuts into his mouth, "I'm going to be sent to Jinling, there is a flood over there, and there is a sign of a great epidemic." ”
The peanuts in his mouth chewed and chewed, giving birth to a bitter taste, and I don't know if it came from my heart or peanuts, Hu Junrong held back a whole day's laughter, and finally collapsed, and the man in his forties was so bitter that he had a handful of snot and tears, as if he wanted to cry out all the anger in his chest.
"Have pity on my son...... My wife...... I...... Belch! ”
Zhao San was also silent, Mrs. Hu just went back to Rongguo Mansion today, and it would take three or five days to come out again, and the subordinates of Najia Mansion were very rebellious, and they couldn't even send money to deliver the news.
You can still use Xiao Liu'er's name outside, but with such a portal, you can report people's names indiscriminately, what if you add chaos to Xiao Liu? Zhao San's face remained unchanged, but his heart seemed to have a bitter gall, "Confused...... When will Dr. Hu go to Jinling? Can you set a date? ”
"The original tenth day of the first month, only I look at the situation in the hospital, Your Majesty is afraid that the sooner the better, if it is an order, it is unknown if it will leave tomorrow."
Indeed, the sooner the better.
It was not dark yet, Jia Baoyu was still frolicking by the lake, and he didn't know that a man in a green robe had entered the Rongguo Mansion, and after all the way, he was standing in Jia Yu's courtyard and said loudly:
"Old lady, master, the Jia family in Jinling sent someone to report the news, and there was water over there!"
The ancestral home of Jiafu is in Jinling, and now the surrounding prefectures and counties are approaching with floods, and the rogue is rampant. When the clansmen came to report it, they emphasized that the heavy rain had not stopped for three days, and if it continued to rain like this, it would only be a matter of time before they were forced to Jinling.
Jia Yu didn't care about anything, so Jia's mother ignored Wang Xifeng's illness and forcibly transferred her out, saying that it was to arrange for doctors to have medicinal materials, money and food.
The flood came unprepared, and there must be a shortage of things in Jinling City, so taking action at this time can not only solve the urgent need of the old house, but also make a profit from it.
Wang Xifeng's abacus was crackling, but after thinking about it, how much money did she earn for the Jia family in the past? Even the dowry has moved nearly half, but he is tired and tired but he doesn't necessarily get much benefit, but now this flood is rich.
To earn or not to earn?
Seeing Mrs. Wang's urging, Wang Xifeng sneered in his heart: You are so energetic this time, when you used to ask me to contribute money and effort and make a fool, you didn't look like this!
"Jinling is the root of our house, in terms of seniority, the uncles who stayed in Jinling are really from their own family, and the family is blind date, and they should be the same spirit and branches to help each other. Just ......"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of his child who died early, and immediately hid his face with a sad voice, and choked up: "The old lady believes in me, so she entrusts me to handle such a life-threatening matter, and my granddaughter-in-law should never say a word." But I've been behind closed doors for so long, even if I don't have the manpower and money for a while, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well. ”
When she raised her eyes and saw that there was anxiety in everyone's eyes, and she heard the complaints in the crowd, she forced a smile again, "This is a big event that endangers my family, I am young and thin-faced, and now the old lady confesses, I dare not shirk it, I just ask my wife to help me palm, let's do this thing beautifully." ”
In a blink of an eye, Wang Xifeng figured it out, money has to be earned, but strength has to be less, if it weren't for the old lady and Sister Qiao'er, she would have picked a son a long time ago!
Without waiting for Mother Jia to speak, Mrs. Wang looked Sister Feng up and down several times, and her heart became sour.
I thought of the turtle-like daughter-in-law in the Grand View Garden, and hated Jia Zhu for going early. It's easy to get two shrewd and capable daughters, but one of them went to the palace, and the other was separated by a layer of belly, and in recent years, there was no arm.
If you want to support your niece, this niece is the same every day, and she can't wait for a pair of pants when she kisses the fragrance, but sometimes she looks at it coldly, and she seems to have another abacus, so that people don't dare to believe it all if they can't figure it out.
Thinking that she had just replaced the cloth in the dowry with the warehouse in the house, it was time to spend money, and Mrs. Wang trembled and wanted to refuse.
Jia Mu slapped the board, "Go ahead." ”
