Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 12 The Concubine of Yuan Dynasty meets the Holy Spirit after visiting relatives and meets her confidant for the first time in Zhuli Pavilion
Chapter 12 The Concubine of Yuan Dynasty meets the Holy Spirit after visiting relatives and meets her confidant for the first time in Zhuli Pavilion
When I returned to the palace in Yuanchun, I went to the Yangxin Hall to thank the emperor for his kindness, and told me one by one about my return to the province. The emperor had already known the details from the secret report. Although he did not like the extravagance of the Jia family, it was related to the face of the Tian family.
It was hard to say anything, and since I really admired what Jia Lan said about "loyalty, filial piety and integrity", I just gave him a gentle admonishment, praised Jia Lan a few words, and gave him money such as colored satin, gold and silver.
Yuanchun received the reward, but he was extremely frightened.
The Taizu of the Xia Dynasty admired Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the former Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the shape of the Xia Dynasty was mostly due to the Ming Dynasty. Although it was not as brutal as the Ming Dynasty in setting up a royal army of brocade clothes and two factories in the east and west, it also had embroidered clothes guards to patrol and arrest people.
Equal grade.
Embroidered clothes and guard palms spy on secrets and penetrate every hole.
Concubine Yuan knew that there must be a embroidered guard in Jia's house. She only knew that the family members said some unpleasant things and fell into the Sheng's ear. After hearing the Sheng's praise for Jia Lan, she took a long breath, bowed her head and bowed, and left.
She secretly made up her mind that the next time Jia Mu came to the palace, she must carefully warn her to restrain her family.
Let's talk about Rong and Ning's two mansions. Because they had exhausted their efforts for days, everyone was really tired, and everyone was exhausted. They also packed all the furnishings and things in the garden for two or three days before they were finished.
Jia Lan was also busy working here for most of the day, and it was almost dusk when he finally had time to take care of various chores.
The vacations for students in this era are far less than those of later generations. As the saying goes, "Those who work hard as they grow up and study when they are young, and those who take summer vacations will be deprived of their income." If the husband privately gives students summer vacation, parents can deduct their wages.
of.
According to the regulations of the academy, the Spring Festival holiday is only seven days. As the head of the case, Jia Lan naturally has to set an example. It was only because Concubine Yuan was visiting that she was specially granted an extra ten days of holiday. Otherwise, Jia Lan would have to go back on the eighth day of the first lunar month. p>
Jia Lan bid farewell to his mother Li Wan and returned to the study.
Li Wan, mother and son, originally only lived in a small room with three rooms behind Rongxi Hall, under the west flower wall, which was less than one-fifth of the size of Feng Jie's courtyard. Later, Jia Lan passed the county and prefectural examinations in one go.
After winning the title of hospital examination case, Jia's mother was overjoyed and originally wanted to reward Li Wan and her son with the newly built large flower hall. However, Li Wan was always cautious and noticed that Sister Feng was slightly jealous of him, so she declined repeatedly.<
/p>
Finally, Jia Lan spoke up, saying that since he was focused on studying, he might as well ask his ancestors for a quiet place.
Mrs. Wang was also very jealous of Li Wan's achievements in educating her son, so she persuaded Jia's mother to clean up a quiet house next to the east courtyard, lick some furniture and give it to Li Wan and her son. In this way, she ordered Li Wan and her son to leave Jia.
My mother was further away, so she came to this villa which is not far from the three-bedroom apartment where Sanchun lived, making it convenient for Li Wan to accompany and take care of her.
Asparagus trees are planted all over the courtyard, hence the name "Xiuzhu Pavilion".
Jia Lan was also allocated a study room, which he named "Zhuli Pavilion".
At this time, the two elders and the younger one in the Zhuli Pavilion were chatting happily. Jia Lan strode in, laughed when he saw the three of them, and cupped his hands and said, "You three have been waiting for a long time!"
"Young Master!" The three of them dared not say it in succession, and respectfully greeted Jia Lan.
The eldest is about thirty years old. He is strong and tall. His eyes are black and white, shining brightly. He is a shrewd person at first glance.
The people who came after him had curly beards, were stronger and stronger than the former, and looked like men with curly beards.
The young junior was three or four years older than Jia Lan. He was wearing a green blouse and a Wensheng scarf. He had a handsome figure and a graceful manner. He seemed to be above Baoyu, although he looked a little like a girl.
, but with a resolute look and a graceful manner.
Jia Lan ordered his servants to serve tea and smiled at the three of them: "It's rare to see you three chatting happily!"
The bearded man laughed and said: "Brother Jingqing is approachable and approachable. He doesn't pride himself on his fame. He can bend down and interact with a commoner like me. What's even more rare is that he has extraordinary knowledge. He is not like those rotten scholars who talk nonsense and don't understand anything!" p>
"Brother Ni is so complimentary!" The young scribe cupped his hands with shame on his face: "If the unfilial son hadn't been rescued by Master Meng, he would have died long ago!"
The oldest one comforted him: "Brother Zhong, you have also won the title of scholar now. It is time to continue your efforts. Don't be discouraged!"
The young scholar's eyes flashed and he said seriously: "Brother Leng, don't worry, Qin Zhong is no longer the Qin Zhong of the past!"
With a smile in his eyes, Jia Lan looked at the three people in front of him and sighed in his heart, these are his trusted subordinates who have worked hard for two years.
Leng Zixing, the son-in-law of Zhou Rui, the butler of the Rong Mansion, was originally in charge of the antique business of the Jia Mansion.
Ni Er, nicknamed Drunken King Kong, is a rogue who specializes in lending money with high interest rates and eats spare money in the casino.
The most surprising thing was that the young scholar turned out to be Qin Zhong, who had died long ago!?
In the original work, Qin Zhong is the stepbrother of Qin Keqing, the wife of Jia Rong of Dongfu. He was attracted by Jia Baoyu and went to the clan school together as his schoolmate. Unexpectedly, the clan school in Jia Mansion had long become a mess. Qin Zhong not only failed to learn well, but also got involved.
He got into bad habits and fell in love with Shuiyue'an's clever son. Instead of turning the world upside down and ruining his health, he also betrayed the earnest wishes of his sister Keqing and his father Qin Ye. Later, Qin Ye, who lost his beloved daughter first, discovered that Qin Zhong was with
Zhi'er's affair was angered to death, and Qin Zhong regretted it and his condition worsened. Sorry.
But the Qin Zhong in front of him was so full of energy that he couldn't even see the slightest sign of premature death.
After the greetings, Leng Zixing took out a stack of bills from his body and placed it on Jia Lan's writing desk, "Master, this is the progress of the past few months. Among them, shopkeeper Cheng of Rixintang settled one thousand taels of the book "Xia Ying Ping Zong". Zui Qiong
Shopkeeper Lou Hua paid a thousand taels of interest, most of which was from selling wine during the New Year. These two incomes have been used to buy a village in Shenjing and Liaodong according to the master's previous instructions. This is the land deed." After seeing it, Jia Lan said: "After the new year, I will have to trouble my brother to send people to these two places to measure the land clearly. If the extra land needs to be declared, just declare it. We don't need to do such a sneaky business, so as not to give others a thumbs up."
”
"My subordinates understand."
Jia Lan nodded and turned to Ni Er: "Second brother, please lead your men to help Brother Leng. There are everyone in this big forest, and there are many villains in the village."
Ni Er agreed with his hand, and Jia Lan asked again: "How is your usury business? You didn't raise the interest rate privately, did you?"
The bearded man suddenly made a sad face: "Sir, Uncle Jiao comes and stares at me every now and then. That old man doesn't even recognize a single word, but he seems to be a man of genius, and he loves to convince people with reason. Young people still...
How dare you?"
"What a persuasive person!" Leng Zixing burst out laughing after hearing this, and Jia Lan and Qin Zhong couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
In the book, Jiao Da is a personal soldier of the first generation Ningguo Gong Jia Yan. He once rescued the dying Jia Yan from the pile of dead people. He drank horse urine himself and gave Jia Yan half a bowl of water to drink. p>
But in this world, Jiao Da is followed by the second generation Ning Guo Gong Jia Dai Hua. It is said that Jiao Da actually saved Jia Dai Hua from a narrow escape. His loyalty was even praised by the ancestor Rong Guo Gong Jia Dai Shan. It is a pity that Ning Guo Mansion is now
The corruption was extremely bad, and it got even worse after Qin Keqing's death. By chance, Jia Lan took him over and became the head of Zhuangzi outside the city.
