Chapter 94: The Ten Thousand Years Plate is Too Rare
The more Jia Lian listened, the less he liked it.
In his previous life, he had heard his grandfather Jia Buquan tell many secrets about the feng shui of emperors' tombs.
For example, after the emperor succeeds to the throne, he will start looking for the dragon's cave. In order to find a place where "the sand and water of the dragon's cave are all beautiful, and the situation is well-organized and everything is auspicious," it often takes several years or even
Decades.
Because the quality of the location for opening a store in the Imperial Tomb is directly related to the royal power, the safety of the country, and the rise or fall of the country. There are many Feng Shui masters who were killed by the emperor because of unsuitable location.
And as the coffin in which Emperor Daxing finally lay, it must not be ambiguous.
The emperor's coffin was mostly made of "imperial wood" grown in the deep valleys of Hubei, Hunan and Sichuan. It was at least a thousand-year-old wood with a trunk of a hundred feet. It was half buried under the sand and cut into pieces to make a coffin, so it was called "sand wood".
Board".
This kind of sand board is warm and delicate, as smooth as jade, with excellent texture. Touching it is like touching a baby's skin, but it is as hard as iron stone. It has a lingering fragrance. Use this wood to make a box, which can hold raw meat for seven days.
Does not change color.
And according to what Baochai just said, old Prince Yi Zhong's "ten thousand years old wood" is probably even better than the imperial wood.
How can this kind of thing that is branded "ten thousand years" by the royal family be used on ordinary people?
Once it is known to the royal family, is it not going to bring trouble to the Jia family?
.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian had no intention of staying here anymore, so he stood up and left, saying that there was still something to do over there.
Xue Pan held on to Jia Lian and refused to let him go. Aunt Xue also stayed for dinner before leaving. Jia Lian had something on his mind, so he just said goodbye again and again.
In the end, Baochai pursed his lips and said with a smile:
"Brother Lian is not that kind of vain person. Since he said this, there must be something that cannot be escaped.
How about changing it to another day, let's prepare food and wine, and then just invite brother Lian to come over. He has a lot of things to do both inside and outside, so we have to allow him to arrange it cheaper. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable?"
Sure enough, Baochai's words of "all four corners are complete" solved Jia Lian's problem, and also allowed his brother Xue Pan to save his face.
Aunt Xue and Xue Pan both laughed and said, "That's right."
Jia Lian finally said goodbye smoothly and left Lixiangyuan.
Jia Lian couldn't help but secretly said:
It is indeed extraordinary that Xue Baochai can rival Lin Daiyu and become a bright star for a while.
She seems to be "not talking about her own business, shaking her head when asked but not knowing". In fact, she is as wise as a fool, scheming, and extremely good at observing people's words. She can achieve her goals by speaking without speaking.
Such a woman who always speaks appropriately is indeed the top "emotional intelligence master" in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
.
Jia Lian hurried to Ningguo Mansion, and happened to meet Jia She and Jia Zheng at the gate who were about to go back to Rongguo Mansion by car. Jia Lian hurriedly saluted his father and uncle in a polite manner.
His father, Jia She, was obviously tired because he had been stuck in Ningguo Mansion for most of the day. He had no time to pay attention to his son, so he just said coldly:
"Get up. You are a famous person inside and outside now. How many people are counting on you to do things. You can't take care of the little things like the funeral here."
Jia Lian did not dare to get up and quickly lowered his head and said:
"What my father taught me was that my son should have finished his work earlier and come here to help more."
Seeing that he was obedient, Jia She couldn't say anything, so he just waved his hand casually:
"Okay, okay, if I tell you to get up, just get up. Do you want me to help you up?"
Jia Lian then stood up, deliberately showing he hesitated to speak.
Jia Zheng had always been more loyal and courteous than Jia She, and he was more like a scholar. At this time, he said to Jia Lian gently:
"It's already this hour, and you still come here. It's very thoughtful."
But I couldn't see Jia Lian's expression at all.
Jia She snorted from the side:
"I don't even know what he is busy with every day. I just leave it to him, as long as it suits his conscience."
Seeing that Jia Lian was hesitant to speak, Jia She said impatiently:
"You have something to say? Just hurry up. I don't have the patience to play riddles."
Jia Lian then said:
"I just heard that Brother Zhen got a rare and good coffin. However, the wooden planks were originally left behind by the old Prince Yi Zhong who was damaged. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that others will avoid it.
These things are really not suitable for use on Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law.”
"What's so 'unsuitable' about this?
It’s just a coffin. Since the original owner has no use for it, Xue Pan gave it to us. We just accept Xue Pan’s favor, and it’s not like we don’t want to give him money!”
Jia She's mind was no longer here, so he was even more impatient.
"These are just trivial things, they don't matter, just go and do your business."
Jia Zheng, on the other hand, remembered that when Xue Pan talked about the coffin with Jia Zhen today, he felt that it was inappropriate at the time, so he advised Jia Zhen, "This thing may not be enjoyed by many people, so it can be buried in high-quality fir wood." But.
Jia Zhen was so sad about losing her daughter-in-law that she refused to pay attention.
Thinking of it at this time, Jia Zheng felt that Jia Lian was quite knowledgeable, so he nodded and said:
"We see the same thing, we see the same thing.
But, Lian Er, this matter is Dongfu’s affair after all. Jia Zhen has full authority to make the decision, and others don’t have to comment.
Having said that, if you have such an insight, it is already very good. Children can be taught, children can be taught."
Then he said to Jia She:
"Brother, Lian Er's knowledge is getting better and better, and it's enough to make you and I feel happy.
Baoyu, on the other hand, has no benefit at all, and it really makes people sigh with regret."
Jia She glanced at Jia Zheng:
"It's getting late, let's go back quickly."
.
Looking at the backs of this pair of "mainstays" in the Jia family, Jia Lian only had four other words "tumorous pigs" floating in his mind.
Everything "doesn't matter". Jia She, who only relies on Zuyin, "cannot understand" anything. Jia Zheng, who is false and motivated, is such a pair of "suffering brothers" with no political sensitivity, but they are the "leading pigs" of Rongguo Mansion.
, brought the entire Jia family to death, but still felt good about themselves. Jia Lian could only say, "I am drunk too."
If it is weak in its place and is life-threatening, what is it other than a tumor?
If you don't cut it off, something big will happen sooner or later.
But how to replace it requires Jia Lian to carefully design the steps.
Jia Lian sighed secretly and was about to continue walking towards Dongfu when he suddenly heard Jia She's voice coming from behind:
"The coffin is already ready for burial. You don't have to waste your time looking for your brother Zhen."
Jia Lian's heart sank - Jia Zhen, you are a pig that is going to drag down the whole family! When I rescued Qin Keqing that night, I should have done it in one step, put five more points on the stick, and sent you directly to your ancestors! p>
Immediately, Jia Lian's heart felt warm again - it turned out that Jia She was a person who knew everything in his heart. He was just pretending to be stupid for some purpose. Moreover, he was always thinking about himself, although his expressions always made people laugh.
So awkward.
Jia Lian stopped, lowered his head and thought for a while, and decided to clarify the matter with Jia Mu.
After all, Jia Mu has a lot of experience, so she will definitely understand the importance of this matter.
.
When I walked into Jia Mu's courtyard, it happened to be the time when Jia Mu was having dinner.
I saw two maids carrying a kang table out. There were bowls and plates on the table, and there were more than a dozen dishes, but only a few were slightly touched.
Jia Lian was about to go in when he suddenly saw everyone coming out of the house with a girl.
Although the girl, who is thirteen or fourteen years old, is not very old, she already has a slender figure, a soft waist, and delicate and pretty shoulders.
As he approached, Jia Lian couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Que?"
Everyone laughed and said: "Second Master Lian, this is Qingwen."
