But it was said that on that day, Jia Mu sent Yuanyang to bring a little girl to bring the fur coat to the Yingchun House. By chance, Daiyu was visiting Xichun, and the three elders gathered together to discuss their marriage, while Xichun was watching.
Yuanyang, who was reading at midnight, said hello to the girls and said, "The old lady sent me to give clothes to the second girl."
Everyone hurriedly asked: "What clothes?"
Yuanyang hurriedly brought up the baggage of Fu Dingqiu and said with a smile: "Second Master Bao is back today, and by chance Third Master Cong also came to say hello. My ancestor was happy and asked me to find these two cloaks and reward them with them. Pian Cong
The third master took one look at it and said that the color of the clothes was too bright and it was not suitable for a man like him, so he might as well give it to the second girl."
Tanchun saw in the early morning that each of them only carried one bundle. He immediately understood that the other bundle must have been given to Daiyu by Baoyu. He smiled and said: "Second sister is still lucky. Open it quickly and see what nice clothes Cong'er has given you."
.”
Yingchun opened her mouth to speak, but Daiyu squeezed it and quickly swallowed it.
Yuanyang hurriedly handed the baggage to Siqi. Siqi opened it and took out the fur coat. Seeing that it was indeed golden and green, everyone gathered around and admired it. Siqi then tried to put it on Yingchun. Although Wang Xifeng was raising the baby these days, it was said that it was Li Wan Yingchun.
As the head of the house together, Li Wan usually doesn't like to make too many decisions, and most of the important things are decided by Yingchun. Yingchun has a peaceful nature, but most of the housekeepers and ladies are not fuel-efficient lamps, which also forces them to show some dignity. Therefore, he wears the clothes
This cloak was in vain, it was so noble and eye-catching. Siqi clapped his hands and said, "The girl is so beautiful."
Yuanyang also hurriedly praised a few words, and then said: "According to the old lady's wish, this one is for Miss Lin. Mr. Cong said that Miss Lin likes green, so he gave it to her in exchange for the other one."
Yingchun took off her cloak and asked with a smile: "Girl Lin is right here. Quickly take out the green one and have a look."
Daiyu's brows moved and she asked, "What did Cong'er say?"
Yuanyang then recounted what Jia Cong said just now and what Jia Mu Baoyu said. Daiyu felt funny in her heart. She didn't really like any color, so Jia Cong knew it. I guess he was sincerely stirring up trouble and wanted to find something.
She couldn't help but take a closer look at Yuanyang. In the early years, Jia Cong had used her to make her look presumptuous, but she didn't take it to heart at all, and she never said anything bad about Jia Cong secretly.
OK.
Because Zicuckoo was not around at the moment, Yuanyang unfolded the bird's nest on Daiyu's behalf. The green color shone extremely gorgeously. Yuanyang put it on her shoulders and said, "The old lady said, this is called bird's gold.
The skilled craftsmen of Russia took peacock feathers and twisted them into threads to weave them.”
Daiyu smiled and said: "I didn't know Sophia August could wear this."
Xichun asked: "What's so special about Sophie? She's so speechless."
Daiyu said: "The Queen of Russia who made this dress has a lot of the legacy of Emperor Zetian. I'm afraid she will become a heroine in the future."
Tanchun was startled: "The heroine?"
Daiyu said: "It's not unusual for there to be many female protagonists in Western countries." At this moment, Yuanyang had arranged it for her, and everyone watched around for a long time, and then compared with Yingchun standing there. Tanchun was still
That's all, Xichun couldn't help but feel envious in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
After the mandarin ducks were gone, Xichun asked first: "What does the Russian queen look like?"
Daiyu smiled and said, "I've never seen it before. I heard it from Cong'er originally. If you find it interesting, you might as well ask him to ask."
As expected, Xichun sent someone to Lixiangyuan to call Jia Cong.
Jia Cong had a headache, so why did he get two more clothes? When he saw the painting, he immediately thought that was the case, and hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and followed him into Yingchun's house. When he saw that the four sisters were there, where was Quejin?
She and her fur coat were all dazzling when they were placed on the wood, so she looked at Xichun and bowed: "Fourth sister, give me some time, I'm just thinking of something."
Xichun was stunned: "What?"
Jia Congdao turned to Mu Shi and said, "What about the coat? I know there are two pieces missing, but this thing seems to have been offered as an offering. I don't know where to get it."
Xichun was stunned, a little annoyed, but also a little bit amused: "Who is asking you for clothes? When did I tell you about clothes?"
Tanchun said hurriedly: "That was given by the old lady. She only has two pieces. Where can you get them? Besides, we have never had these two pieces of clothing. Mo Chengri misses you so much when he thinks about not having these.
The book is important."
Jia Cong said: "The solution is what people come up with. Isn't it just two pieces of clothes? You can't give your servants a chance to talk about it, right?"
Xichun burst into tears when she said this. Although the four girls had the same food and clothing expenses, it is needless to say that Yingchun had been provided with splendid things by Jia Cong over the years. Jia Huan had to keep a low profile and got good things outside.
They were all sent to Tanchun's house. Daiyu was also pampered by Jia Mu and Lin Hai, but she had no one to help her. Since she was from Dongfu, the servants would inevitably be a little snobbish and make irresponsible remarks.
Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "I know that Fourth Sister is not short of clothes, but I think this cloak is really good. It's just that these two pieces are too big for the old lady. I'll go and get a suitable one from Fourth Sister."
Tanchun laughed when he said this: "That's all, the reason for co-writing is because my fourth sister and I are a little short." Yin looked at Xichun and said, "Let him do it. Anyway, he is capable."
Jia Cong said: "We can get two pieces in our house. It's not a rare thing. I'll go back and find someone to inquire about it." Then he asked, "If it's not to get clothes, why did the fourth sister call me here?
?”
Xichun wiped her tears and said, "I just heard Sister Lin say something about Sofitel. She doesn't know much about it, so I want to ask you."
Jia Cong turned to look at Lin Daiyu: "Sofia. Which Sophia?"
Daiyu smiled and said: "The four girls who are imitating the tongue but not being fluent are the Russian Empress Sophia August who listened to you at the base that day."
Jia Cong said "Oh" and said: "She was originally a princess from a small principality in Germany. Although she was not loved by her husband, she was an amazing woman. I'm afraid she will be even more amazing in the future. One of my husbands predicted that sooner or later this girl would
He will definitely become a great weapon, and he will be called the Great Emperor in the history books in the future." That gentleman's surname was Li, and his last name was Shi.
Tan Chunqi asked: "Since her husband doesn't like her, how can she be like Empress Wu?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Every heroine's path is different. In my opinion, she has a good grasp of the general situation and is determined not to lose to Wu Zhao."
Then he talked about the life of Catherine II. Since she had not yet ascended the throne, many things about her future had not yet happened, so Jia Cong regarded her later stories as the predictions of one of his husbands.
The national conditions of the two countries are completely different. I don’t know how many times I explained the Russian people’s sentiments in the middle. I talked for two hours, and even dinner was passed in the middle of the talk, and I barely finished it.
After listening to the story, the four girls were extremely excited and chattered endlessly. Jia Cong was not allowed to leave yet. As they talked, they asked him new questions. Until the third watch, Yingchun hurriedly said: "It's really true today."
It's too late, we can wait until tomorrow." Everyone agreed and stood up one by one to stretch their muscles.
Xichun sighed: "This woman is so courageous and courageous. Although I don't recognize her, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight just hearing this comment."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "No matter what, she is still a foreign monarch. The border between our two countries is so long, I am afraid that war will inevitably happen in the future. The more courageous and courageous she is, the more headache it will be for our country."
Xichun was stunned and said: "Why is there a war? Isn't it good to have a good relationship?"
Jia Cong sighed: "God knows! It is natural for countries to fight against each other. There is only so much land. We want more, and they also want it. How about the fourth sister in Japan be our ambassador to Russia to persuade her?
chant."
Xichun blushed: "Even if I want to go, I can't speak Lao Maozi's language, but she can't understand it." Everyone laughed.
Jia Cong laughed twice and said goodbye and went back to Lixiangyuan.
The next day, Jia She discussed with his two sons how they came up with the script "If the saint does not establish a prince for the time being, he may be reminded by Cong'er." Jia Lian went back to the ministry to secretly show off to the two princes.
The good colleagues listened, just to act stupid; Jia Cong hurriedly ran to Feng's house.
Feng Ziying listened to him for a long time and said with a smile: "What's the need to worry? You're just a child, who can really care about you?"
Jia Cong shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no! Princes and princes are the two most untouchable things in the world. I have to go out and avoid the limelight. Even if people laugh at me for being sentimental, I am not afraid of ten thousand, just what happens."
Turning in circles, "How about I go south to look for Uncle Lin? It seems like he should be back this year."
Feng Ziying said: "Well, Mr. Lin should return to Beijing this year."
Jia Cong smashed his fist into his palm and said, "It's settled! I miss my mentor dearly, so I traveled a long way to welcome you back to the capital!"
Feng Ziying just heard him say that "the prince and the prince are untouchable", she was secretly happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "If you think too much, just pay it back; if there is really a prince who is watching you, this move will cost you three hundred taels of silver, and I will be afraid when you come back
It’s becoming more and more eye-catching.”
Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Feng Ziying said: "Why should we avoid it? There are new things in Beijing every day, and there are so many people. Even if you really make me look back, I'm afraid I will forget you after the New Year?"
Jia Cong hummed: "Those who don't want to be a prince will naturally forget me after the New Year. Those who want to be a prince will only have to think about whom the saint said one more word to or looked at twice too many times every day. How can it be that easy?
Forget. The latter one is the one I don’t want to mess with.”
Feng Ziying thought it right and comforted her: "Just live in peace and don't wander around outside every day."
Jia Cong curled his lips and sighed: "It is a good thing to meet a saint." Then he went back with a slumped face.
Not long after, Feng Ziying reported the matter, and the saint couldn't help but nod his head and said to Situ Pan: "This little son Jia She is actually a bit like you when you were a child. He didn't know how to be a party or a group at a young age."
Situ Pan said with a smile: "I thought he looked a bit similar the first time I saw him. It's good to avoid doing random things in the future. This guy is very courageous and has many clever ideas. If he forms a party with any prince, I'm afraid he will.
It’s a mess.”
The sage said: "I originally wanted to use him to test those boys to see if they would not be impatient and pick up with this boy. He actually wanted to hide."
Situ Pan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry for a moment. The nephews are still young, and we can't cope with them right now. If they come out to make trouble again, they will really be taken advantage of by those instigators."
The saint suddenly frowned: "In the past two years, they have been visiting each other more and more."
Situ Pan was also worried: "It's strange, the grievances were so deep in the past. We need to have people fiddle with them a few more times to make them fall apart."
The saint nodded: "You arrange it."
Situ Pan responded.
A few days later, Gong Kun rushed into Lixiangyuan with a grimace, looked for Jia Cong and said, "I know what the Eighth Prince has planned."
Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "What?"
Gong Kun whispered: "A few days ago, a matchmaker found the wife of shopkeeper Jia Si and wanted to marry the boss of their family. But she was a niece of the Eighth Prince's mother-in-law, but she was a little further away."
Jia Cong jumped up immediately: "You are kidding!"
Gong Kun smiled bitterly and said, "Why should I joke? Now Mrs. Jia Si has met the girl and is very satisfied."
Jia Cong screamed and ran out.
Yao'er was currently studying in the room. Seeing him like this, he quickly asked "What's the matter?"
Jia Cong tugged on his arm and said urgently: "Someone said recently that your eldest brother's wife is Li Qizhi's cousin!"
Yao'er was stunned: "Brother Qi's cousin? He never told me about it."
"She is also the niece of the Eighth Prince." Jia Cong stamped his feet and gritted his teeth, "What a big trick, I'm trying to trap you."
Yao'er said: "I went back that day and heard my mother say that she had met the girl. She was just an ordinary person. She also said many good things about her, and it sounded like everything was good." Yin frowned again, "If the Eighth Prince does this,
I want to expose this matter to you. If we act according to our usual behavior, we might regret it immediately. Could it be that he is unwilling to enter into this marriage? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to expose it after we get married in the future?"
Jia Cong snorted: "This is a smart move of his. The fourth aunt has already fallen in love with his niece. If you two don't agree, I'm afraid both the fourth aunt and your eldest brother will be unhappy. At this point, he feels
This family relationship is almost certain to be established. After all, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are all important people. If it is revealed again in the future, you will probably think that he is plotting against your family and you will be angry. Do it earlier now
To put it bluntly, he can still pretend that he just knew about it and came here to give us some advice. Besides, his niece must be a good girl, and the girl next to her may not be that good when the fourth aunt looks at her in the future."
Yao'er thought for a long time and asked, "In your opinion, is it possible for this family to be related?"
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "We must not get married. We are related to flesh and blood. If your nephew is related to his family in the future, everything will be restricted. These people are much more ruthless than us. We value flesh and blood, they don't
To value them is to hand them inexhaustible shortcomings."
Yao'er nodded when he heard this: "I understand."
Jia Cong asked: "What are you going to tell your fourth aunt?"
Yao'er smiled and said, "It's easy to get tight." Then he immediately put on his clothes and went back. Jia Cong watched eagerly as he disappeared before returning, feeling very anxious in his heart.
Yao'er didn't come back until the day after tomorrow. When he saw Jia Cong, he shook his head and said, "It's hard to handle."
Jia Cong asked what was going on.
Yao'er said: "I went back and whispered to my mother a while ago that the girl is the niece of the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince may have some rebellious intentions. If something goes wrong in the future, even my eldest brother and our family will be implicated."
Guillotine. My mother was frightened and immediately took me to go to the matchmaker's house to repent. The matchmaker was yelling and screaming, but we just refused. I said that I would go to their house in person to talk, so I talked to the matchmaker.
We passed together."
Jia Cong couldn't help but interrupt: "How are you going?"
Yao'er said: "I think he is a good family, and his father is also very calm. I told him alone that we just found out that their family is the mother clan of the Eighth Prince. We don't dare to mess with it. We just think that we are timid and fearful of trouble.
If you say that this incident was purely accidental, would you believe it if it were me instead of you? His father sighed, he didn't like my eldest brother either, but he was forced by the clan uncle, Li Qizhi's father."
Jia Cong stroked his palm and said, "Isn't that just right? One shot and two pieces are scattered."
Yao'er smiled bitterly and said, "My eldest brother didn't know when he secretly met her and has already fallen in love with her. He is attracted to her and my mother is attracted to her, but they are not the same thing."
