The main responsibility of Wei Tongguang, the commander of the Yulin Guards, is to protect the imperial city, and there must be no mistakes. He came to Rongguo Mansion this time, and it was definitely not because he was too idle to chat with Jia Lian.
Moreover, the matter that requires his action must be related to the emperor.
Could it be... could it be that the emperor was sitting in the car?
But when Jia Lian took a closer look, he saw that it was no, it was an eight-treasure carriage covered with red emerald green and beaded tassels. Following the carriage were more than a dozen maids and servants in rich costumes. Obviously, the people in the carriage were female family members.
With Jia Lian's intelligence, he guessed eight or nine points in an instant.
.
As soon as he saw Jia Lian coming out of the gate with his hands raised, Wei Tongguang immediately dismounted his horse, strode over with a smile on his face, and returned the greeting to Jia Lian with his raised hands:
"Master Jia, I am here to send you a distinguished person."
Jia Lian immediately laughed and said:
"Master Wei is willing to come to my humble home, doesn't it mean that a noble person has come to visit?"
Who wouldn't be happy to hear such a compliment?
Wei Tongguang was already familiar with Jia Lian and did not treat him politely. He laughed and said:
"Okay, since Mr. Jia said that I am a noble person, then I will live with it.
That means I, a noble person, am here to send another great noble person to Mr. Jia."
Jia Lian leaned towards the guard and shared the light, and smiled softly:
"This 'great nobleman' is also your 'younger sister'?"
Wei Tongguang looked puzzled:
"Master Jia is so well-informed?"
"Ah? Is this really Cornelius?"
.
It’s really Cornus officinalis!
However, this time Juyu came to Rongguo Mansion as Princess Boping.
When the princess descended, she did not put on all the honors, but she was a member of the royal family after all. Now Jia Lian did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered people to go inside and inform Jia Mu to greet her. At the same time, he asked someone to drive the princess's car directly.
Welcome through the gate.
Jia's mother was waiting for guests in the inner hall. Suddenly she heard that Wei Tongguang, the commander of the Yulin Guards, was escorting the princess. She quickly ordered people to call everyone together. All the imperial edicts of different grades were dressed up according to their grades and lined up.
Welcome at Jiayin Hall in Grand View Garden.
At this time, Juyu had lost all her previous casual and unruly demeanor. She was dressed in the gorgeous dress of a princess, which made her very stable. Her small face had a solemn and precious look, which was quite in line with the magnanimity that a princess should have.
Having grown up in this position, I have become accustomed to many things whether I like it or not.
After the princess was invited to have tea and change her clothes in Jiayin Hall, Jia Mu took the lead and ceremoniously welcomed the princess into Rongxi Hall.
Although the etiquette was waived, he still showed some humility. Zhu Yu took his seat at the head of the table, and Jia's mother accompanied him below. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang led the You family, Sister Feng and several daughters-in-law from the clan stood beside Jia.
Standing behind my mother.
Suddenly, another maid brought tea. She first gave the small tea tray to Lin Zhixiao's family. Lin Zhixiao's family could only enter the curtain, so she handed it to the concubine Peifeng. Peifeng took it and gave it to Youshi.
; Mrs. You came up holding a tea tray and handed it to the dogwood table in a polite manner.
Juyu smiled and thanked her, and then said to Jia Mu:
"My imperial uncle is a great admirer of poetry and etiquette. He originally wanted to recruit talented girls for us from famous officials and families to be our escorts when we enter school.
It's just that none of the female escorts chosen this year were very satisfactory. Coincidentally, after meeting the virtuous concubine and returning to the palace that day, she copied all the poems written by the sisters at home, which was highly praised by my emperor's uncle.
I also heard that Tanhualang’s daughter-in-law was also in the mansion and was a well-known talented woman, so my uncle ordered me to come and live in the Grand View Garden for a while, so that I could learn from these sisters in the mansion who were good at poetry and poetry.
Ask for advice.”
When Jia's mother heard that the princess came to live under an imperial decree, and that she wanted to learn poetry and poetry from Daiyu, she dared not neglect her, so she quickly ordered all the sisters to come forward one by one to pay her respects.
She immediately asked Wang Xifeng to take care of things quickly. Fortunately, Concubine Xiande had already ordered the sisters to live in the Grand View Garden, and there were people cleaning everywhere every day, so Wang Xifeng only needed to order people to clean up a little, and the main building "Daguan Tower" was taken care of immediately.
Now, you can welcome the princess to move in at any time.
.
At the same time, Jia Lian and Wei Tongguang were talking in the small hall behind Rongxi Hall. Jia Lian also learned that Zhu Yu was coming to stay for a while, and couldn't help but wonder:
"Whose idea was this?"
Wei Tongguang put his hands in front of him:
"It's definitely not my idea. I don't have that much face."
Jia Lian also knew that this was probably Zhuyu's own idea, so he sighed deliberately:
"My family already has a large population and has been unable to make ends meet for a long time. Now that a princess has arrived, we really have to rely on Dangdang to make a living."
When Wei Tongguang saw him crying again, he pointed at Jia Lian and said with a smile:
"That's enough for you. I've heard all about it. Your official bank account has been opened. Why do you still have no money when we meet?
Think about it, although the capital is large and rich, you are the only private person other than the household department who can open an official bank account, so don't be dissatisfied."
Jia Lian spread his hands:
"I would rather be a real villain than a hypocrite.
How long has my official bank account been in business? It is just an oil and salt shop, and it is making money even before it opens. How is the business of the bank account now? Can I hide it from you?
To tell you the truth, even if our mother-in-law is in the palace, in which month can she not spend one or two thousand taels of silver?
I'm not a corrupt official..."
"Yes, yes, I finally understand. You have become a habit of crying about poverty."
Wei Tongguang also found it funny that this young and promising Jia Lian was really a money fan, but he was very willing to sell Jia Lian a good deal:
"Master Jia, don't worry. I heard news that Master Jia's official position will be promoted again soon."
Jia Lian already knew that the former Prime Minister Yao Lao had written a letter recommending him to be the governor of Zhili. However, the current Shangshu ordered Si Nanxing to monopolize the power of the Prime Minister. He had some objections to this matter, so the matter was temporarily shelved.
At this time, hearing what Wei Tongguang said, he deliberately smiled and said:
"It would be better if you transfer me out of the capital quickly, so that I can hide out."
Wei Tongguang also laughed and said:
"The defense of the capital is a top priority. Some people want to get their own people up, so they interfere with it.
It's just that under the current situation, this job is becoming increasingly difficult to do, and only young talents like you can do it.
What's more, can he stop the Prince Consort's errands from now on?"
.
After sending Wei Tongguang away, Jia Lian went back to see Jia Mu.
At this time, Zhuyu had already changed into a gorgeous dress. She was just wearing a goose-yellow dress, which made her look even more pretty and cute. Although she was still sitting on the front seat, she could not stop chatting with Daiyu, Tanchun and others. The Hall of Rongxi was already filled with
It's a laugh.
As soon as she saw Jia Lian come in, the smile in Zhuyu's eyes deepened, and before Jia Lian could speak, she already smiled and said:
"Mr. Jia, I heard that you are as famous as today's Confucian scholars. Since I have come here to learn from many talented women, I will inevitably ask you, a talented man, for advice in the future?"
Jia Lian stepped forward to salute, but Zhu Yu simply stood up and walked down, as if she wanted to support Jia Lian to prevent him from saluting, which frightened Jia Lian and stopped quickly.
In front of everyone, this girl must not cause any trouble.
