Zhang Taoist priest carefully looked at the emperor's face, and seeing that it was really not good, he quickly said: "The emperor has a constitution in his mouth, so no matter who the emperor is..."
"Alarm fantasy?" Emperor Zhenglong frowned: "Why have you never heard of such a number one immortal?"
Not only have you never heard of it, but I haven't heard of it either. Wasn't that the one who told me? The old god behind him must have pointed out something. Since the old god gave orders, how dare he disobey.
Now the emperor asked, and he smiled guiltily: "... I also know from the few words of the master, what kind of immortal way it is, Xiao Dao'er really doesn't know, let alone lie..."
Emperor Zhenglong sneered: "The world doesn't know where the monsters come from. They think they can become immortals by fooling some fools and offering sacrifices. They are just evil demons and crooked ways..."
As soon as these words came out, Taoist Zhang knelt on the ground with a pop: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty... As soon as Your Majesty said these golden words, not to mention evil spirits, even gods of the righteous path are still falling from the altar at this moment..."
ah?
Emperor Zhenglong's eyes lit up, and then he remembered that the emperor had the Tianxian in his mouth.
He nodded slightly, his mind becoming clearer and clearer. Originally, there was no need to worry about these things. At most, they could only secretly steal some luck from wealthy families. The royal family was so powerful that they did not dare to offend easily.
After understanding the truth behind this, he pondered: "Even if the Jia family is being plotted against, it does not mean they have been wronged. If the family background is clear, no one can plot against them."
Daochang Zhang said, "Sheng Ming," "That's exactly what I said."
Emperor Zhenglong mostly thought that Zhang Daozhang was just saying flattery. He had always been dubious about such things as ennobling gods and denouncing demons. At most, he would stay away from them. Even the Black Emperor of the Han Dynasty only existed in history books.
, who has really seen it?
But the two people talking to each other at this moment had no idea that some families and people outside the palace had already had mishaps because of these words.
As for Baoyu, who was taking a nap at noon, his heart suddenly hurt, and he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of black blood.
This frightened the girls. They didn't dare to hide such a thing, so they quickly told Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang happened to be helping Baoyu look for a husband these days. Boss Baoyu felt uncomfortable and told Mrs. Wang.
Jia Mu muttered several times, only saying that she should go to the clan school and not hire a husband for the family. Jia Mu talked to Mrs. Wang several times about this, but Mrs. Wang insisted. Unexpectedly, Baoyu vomited blood again after he was well. Jia Mu
She immediately became angry and said to Mrs. Wang: "People are contented, but your blessings are not enough? With the empress, you have already achieved your destiny. You still want to get another son who is the number one scholar. Zhu'er is a lesson learned from the past. What are you doing?"
Baoyu will not give up until he is forced to death!"
The pain of losing a child is so painful that it hurts just to mention it.
Looking at Baoyu again, he vomited out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
There were people around the bed, but someone moved the pillow and brought out the jade from under the pillow. The originally colorful jade seemed to have lost its brilliance, and it looked like a stone.
different.
Jia's mother's first reaction was: "How did you take care of it? I didn't even know if I asked someone to change the things."
It's really not like that piece of jade. The writing on it is also blurry. It seems that the handwriting can't be distinguished.
Baochai, who was looking at it, felt something in her heart, and slowly walked back to Lixiang Garden. She took out the gold lock piece that she had carefully put away and looked at it. She found that the writing on it seemed to have been blurred. She did not dare to say anything.
, even Ying'er didn't dare to tell her. She carefully locked the lock piece into the box and hid the key close to her body. Then she felt a little more at ease.
On the other hand, Daiyu only felt that something was wrong. Her chest felt tight. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, she hurriedly covered it up. She didn't call anyone, firstly because news came from the Jia family, saying that Baoyu was not good.
She was sick, and her grandmother was not feeling well either. The second reason was because the girls had gone out in a hurry just now, fearing that her father would be unwell again today. Her elder sister and younger brother looked at her body and said nothing, but she didn't want to cause trouble.
Not only did I feel that there was nothing wrong with my body, but I could breathe better and my mind became clearer. When I walked out of the house, I felt that my steps were light. I thought, if Xu is a bad thing, I will wait and see in two days, and now I will
No more confusion.
The Jia family's treasure had such a severe disease that it alarmed the whole capital. But there were some good people who made it very mysterious that the Jia family's treasure jade turned into a hard stone. But the timing of the Jia family's treasure jade's onset of the disease was so coincidental.
When the incident came to the palace, Emperor Zhenglong became more and more convinced that it was an evil spirit. Now that he has been beaten back to his original shape, no, he has revealed his original shape. What kind of jade is it, it is just a piece of hard stone transformed into a deceiver to deceive the human eye.
Just ordinary people.
In Emperor Zhenglong's opinion, this was breaking the illusion and revealing his true nature.
The Pianjia family didn't believe it, and they just said that someone had stolen the jade and brought it back with a hard stone. This was the root of Baoyu's illness.
This has become a big deal. The fourth master went to do his business, but Lin Yutong couldn't run away. Jia Mu called him and said, "Please help me, you are a lucky person, evil spirits don't dare to come near."
Physically?"
It sounds like it has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
Mrs. Wang seemed to be in a hurry: "The imperial doctor has prescribed the medicine. As long as you feed it in, it will be no big deal."
Mother Jia spat: "Feed it in? You have to feed it in! My precious jade!"
Lin Yutong was pulled like this, but it was not the same thing: "I'll feed it." When she saw Qingwen coming in with medicine, she took it and praised it unintentionally: "Others are crying around me.
"As long as you just concentrate on your work. It's rare that the heat and temperature of this medicine are just right." It's not easy for a person who has to keep feeding medicine to have the medicine that is so suitable every time.
Compared with the Xiren who gathered around Jia Baoyu and helped Mrs. Wang cry, those who worked silently were more likely to be ignored.
When Lin Yutong said this, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang looked over. Mrs. Wang looked at Qingwen: "She is a good girl."
Qingwen was already smart, but when she saw Lin Yutong's words, she asked her wife to change her mind. So she became even more silent and went to one side, asking people to get hot water and a hot handkerchief to change clothes, and then quickly poured warm water and
In the past, it was used to rinse your mouth.
Lin Yutong wanted to pour the medicine, but if there was anything that couldn't be poured in, he pressed the acupuncture points and poured it down directly. After feeding, he did sprinkle some and wiped it with a hot handkerchief. The girls were eager to change the dirty clothes.
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "Don't move yet. You'll save yourself the trouble of spitting out the medicine."
Xiren walked over and said, "Let me replace grandma."
Lin Yutong glanced at Xiren and let go without saying a word. Xiren pressed it down, and medicine started to flow out of the corner of Baoyu's mouth.
Mrs. Wang became angry: "In the past, I saw you as a discerning person. What can you do now?"
Lin Yutong took it and held it down, and stopped vomiting again.
The unhappy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo - Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang looked at each other and thought, this child is indeed from Wangjia's family as the old fairy said. No one else can feed it, only she can.
.Others would vomit as soon as they touched their hands, but she held it down without vomiting.
Lin Yutong pressed it for a while, knowing that he wouldn't vomit again, but he didn't let go in a hurry. Instead, he glanced at Xiren on the side and shook his head as if unintentionally. When he saw Qingwen passing by outside,
She then said: "That girl...is her name Qingwen? Come on! Come in!"
Qingwen went in with her head lowered, and Lin Yutong called to her: "Come here, hold on!"
Qingwen responded with a yes, stretched out her hand to replace Lin Yutong, looked at Baoyu carefully, and saw that he did not vomit again.
Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang interpreted Lin Yutong's behavior as picking someone to pick someone with a good reputation. No matter how honest the Xiren looks, he actually has incompatible horoscopes?
When Xiren stopped vomiting and was about to extend his hand, Mrs. Wang stopped him first: "Go wait outside."
Lin Yutong didn't want to infest Xiren. No matter how much Mrs. Wang didn't like Xiren, she wouldn't kill him. But Qingwen was different. She just wanted to save this girl's life.
About half an hour later, Baoyu woke up. But he seemed to be in a daze.
But as long as a person wakes up, all that's left is to take good care of himself.
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Yutong left directly on the pretext that she had children at home.
Wang Xifeng and Youshi sent Lin Yutong out, and Wang Xifeng looked at her: "You are really lucky."
Lin Yutong looked at her askance: "Is this some kind of hysteria?" She changed the subject and asked Youshi: "How are the preparations for Brother Rong's marriage?"
Qin Keqing has also been dead for more than a year. Jia Rong has been mourning his wife for a year, and the family has also announced the marriage renewal.
She is a girl from the Hu family. This Hu family was also an old member of the Jia family, but now the family business is in tatters. As soon as they mentioned it, they agreed. The marriage is about to happen, but from the looks of it, it seems that
Not as many people were alarmed as Baoyu's serious illness. He was really low-key.
Yes! Qin Keqing's identity is somewhat different after all. Now that Jia Rong is remarried, it's hard to be too low-key.
Youshi said: "Your Majesty's affairs are important, and everything else comes later." This means that you don't want to make a big deal out of publicity.
After talking, they arrived at the second gate. Lin Yutong got on the sedan, said goodbye to the two of them, and then returned home.
When I got home, I found a letter from Daiyu, asking for the tea made here. Lin Yutong sent someone to deliver it and ignored it.
As a result, a few days later, Jia's mother sent someone to call again. Lin Yutong was so annoyed that the young mother even muttered: "Other people are having a hard time, and they actually revolve around them."
It's really not a trivial matter this time. Baoyu woke up, but he was a little different. He looked chaotic, not the 'pure' and 'true' character that he had before, but more like a psychosis.
Generally speaking, you get to know someone when you meet them, but it's just acquaintance, and there is no longer the playful attitude before. Even when you treat the girl, it seems that the girls you serve are all from the same mold, there is nothing different. Xiren
When he saw that he was not there before, Baoyu actually didn't ask. Later, when he saw that Qingwen was not there, he went in twice and found out who was in the room. It seemed that there was no difference to him.
Even towards Jia Mu, she is no longer as close as before. It seems that she can no longer hide behind Jia Mu like before.
Jia Zheng thought this was not bad: "Who knows whether it is a precious jade or a stubborn stone? A precious jade may not be a precious jade, and a stubborn stone may not be as good as the so-called precious jade..."
These words angered Jia Mu, and she spat at Jia Zheng several times: "What little wife have you listened to? She just won't give up until she curses my precious jade to death..."
It was said that Aunt Zhao had slandered Jin. The implication was that Aunt Zhao was causing trouble. If she thought about it more deeply, she might also suspect that someone had tampered with the missing jade.
Mrs. Wang originally thought that people would be fine as long as they wake up. She has changed her temperament, which is also an unexpected joy. Even though she seems to be less energetic than before, isn't it a good thing to be down-to-earth and study in the future?
But now when I heard what Jia Mu said, I couldn't help but doubt in my heart. Could it be that Aunt Zhao was really a monster?
Tanchun was so embarrassed that he was almost ashamed of himself.
Mother Jia called Lin Yutong over because she thought Lin Yutong was lucky and wanted to take Lin Yutong to live in her house for a while, maybe she could get Baoyu back. But could Lin Yutong agree to this?
She said: "Grandma is right to think about man-made disasters. But I'm afraid this disaster won't happen at home."
Tanchun's whole body relaxed, and then he felt his breathing became easier.
Baochai couldn't help but take another look at Lin Yutong. Is she blessed with deep blessings, or is there some other reason? She can't say now.
Lin Yutong didn't care what anyone thought, he just said: "The matter of Ma Taopo is making a big fuss. How did I hear that she is Brother Bao's godmother? Now this witch has escaped to who knows where. Brother Bao's Baoyu, with
Is this mother-in-law related? How could it be such a coincidence that if something happened to her, something would also happen to Brother Bao?"
Thinking about it this way, they are not all connected.
Wang Xifeng echoed: "Isn't that what you said? I was so busy that I completely forgot about this matter." She didn't want to search for the jade all over the world. If someone hid it deliberately, where could she find it? Besides, she didn't want to search for the jade.
Now, she also looked at the stone. Whether it was from the shape or the vague writing, it was the same as the previous jade. Whether it was lost or something happened, she couldn't say.
Okay. It's just something that the old lady is determined to do, and they have to take care of it. But if they don't have any clue, where can they find it? But it's hard to say this.
Besides, I didn’t believe the old ladies they told me.
But this one was different. The old lady really believed in her.
This matter is all blamed on Ma Daopo. You can't ask yourself to find another way to find Ma Daopo, right? Even if you ask yourself to find it, it doesn't matter. There are many people outside who are desperately trying to find this woman.
Furthermore, the old lady took care of this, Ma Dao Po, and her godmother. Now if something happens, there is no one else to blame.
Jia Mu Xu also knew this, and she looked a little unhappy. She also said she was worried about Baoyu, and insisted on moving Baoyu to live in her house, saying that she wanted to take care of him nearby, and then move him out when he felt better.
Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and looked at Baoyu, who was sitting aside, silent and occasionally showing a confused and impatient expression. Her face was indescribably complicated. She was also wondering if it was really because she wanted to invite Mr.
, that’s why it became like this.
Lin Yutong said something that didn't please Mother Jia today, and she thought that it would take a long time before Mother Jia would be willing to call him that again.
This is truly Amitabha.
In the meantime, there was a very low-key wedding for Jia Rong. We went to have a wedding banquet, and there were about thirty tables of banquets. They were all very close family members. When we talked together, Baoyu's illness was inevitably mentioned.
In fact, after listening to it for a long time, Lin Yutong didn't think Jia Baoyu had any illness. The child, who was only a teenager, just forgot what to teach from scratch, that's all. They said it was either an illness, or Lean Soul Syndrome, or something else.
Hysteria, there are so many symptoms. Anyway, it is left to each family to find a doctor.
According to Jia Mu, as long as the disease can be cured, I will give it my all.
Therefore, there were so-called experts coming and going in the house every day who cheated her of food and drink. On the other hand, Jia Mu issued a huge reward to find Ma Dao Po.
These things have become a scene in Beijing.
When the weather got colder, another strange thing happened in the capital. That was Zhen Shiyin, who was said to have followed a monk, and appeared again. He was found by himself.
First he returned to Gusu, and later he heard that Mr. Feng had gone to the capital and that his daughter was also in the capital, so he came all the way to the capital again and walked for three months on his own before arriving.
The couple hadn't seen each other for many years, and they almost didn't recognize each other.
However, because a monk was involved, Zhen Shiyin was summoned by Emperor Zhenglong. According to Zhen Shiyin, he originally thought that his fate was over, but one sudden day, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his mind became clear. His wife spent the rest of her life
With nothing to rely on and no whereabouts for her daughter, she was still bound by earthly connections, so she followed her own thoughts and went down the mountain. Asked him, where is the monk? Zhen Shiyin only shook his head: "I haven't seen him for many years."
Then he asked him: "Where have you been practicing all these years?"
He then said: "Wuji Cliff Qinggeng Peak in Dahuang Mountain."
Emperor Zhenglong looked through the map of Kanyu and could not find the so-called Wujiya Qinggeng Peak in Dahuang Mountain, so he asked him again: "Where is it specifically? Which state? Which prefecture? Which county?"
None of these scholars could answer, and when asked again, they looked confused.
Asked him if he was asked to go back again, where would he find it? He shook his head: "It seems that he has never remembered the way there."
Emperor Zhenglong looked at the name of the place. What a wasteland, that is a panic. What a nonsense cliff, it is not nonsense. Qinggeng is the root of love. It seems that behind the so-called great power, there is just a person.
A woman who knows how to love.
The more I think about it, the more I feel I have been fooled.
He did not express his anger at Zhen Shiyin. Seeing that he indeed had Taoist roots and had been cultivating for so many years, he allowed him to enter the Taoist Records Department and practice with Taoist Zhang.
Taoist priests who join the Daolu Department actually get a lot of money every year.
This amount of money is enough to support the Feng family.
Feng also bought a small yard not far from Qingxu Temple and lived a quiet life.
Taoist Zhang also said to the fourth master: "It seems that that monk is indeed not on the right path. Otherwise, how could anyone know the whereabouts of a lost child and not tell them about it? Instead, he ordered the child's father to become a monk and leave the child behind."
You have suffered so much in this world. Your husband and wife are separated, your flesh and blood are separated, your family is destroyed, how can you have the slightest bit of compassion?"
Therefore, he believed more and more that Fourth Master was an expert and that Fourth Master's master was an old god.
He came empty-handed and gave Brother Yun a small bag. Inside was a talisman that had been enshrined. Lin Yutong thanked him and put it on the child.
Brother Yun is half a year old and has a lively temper. He stretched out his hand to grab Taoist Zhang's beard, but the Fourth Master took it away and kept him away.
This time, Taoist Zhang gained a lot. He has made great contributions and received more royal tributes. Now he is regarded as a first-class celebrity in the capital. Many people are asking for talismans. Isn't this the orthodox Taoism appointed by the emperor? Especially.
It was those people who had been tricked and brought gold and silver to beg. No, he simply couldn't bring out so many high-quality talismans, so he came to beg the Fourth Master again.
Fourth Master has made a lot of money. It's winter, so he has made a lot of money again.
The garden for the Supreme Emperor has been completed. It is not suitable to move there this winter. It can be moved in the spring of next year. I even asked the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Zhenglong to see it. Everything was done according to their preferences. There is no reason to be dissatisfied.
?
Now it's just adding some ornaments or other things inside, which is basically in sync with the Jia family.
These things are easy to do.
Because the errand was done well, the Supreme Emperor was happy, and Emperor Zhenglong was also happy.
The fourth master then had a new errand. The imperial court established a new yamen called the Department of Agriculture.
In the fifth-rank yamen, the fourth master became the first chief, that is, he was an official of the fifth rank.
It is embarrassing to say that Jia Zheng is only a fifth-grade Yuanwailang now, and he is not yet a full-time official.
After the fourth master's promotion, Lin Yutong discovered that Jia Zheng never came to see the fourth master again. In the past, no matter what the matter was, he always wanted to discuss it with the fourth master. No matter whether the fourth master was free or not, he would always send someone to him.
. He didn’t have to go to the Yamen, but the fourth master had to go. No one was idle. Even though he had asked for ten or twenty times, he only happened to have the fourth master free once, and they would happily call him. But now
No, writing a letter to the emperor to ask the mother-in-law to marry him is not something that the fourth master will discuss. Once he and the Qing guests are combined, it will be a big deal.
The fourth master was too lazy to answer him, just pretending that he didn't know. Then he asked Lin Yutong for a royal title.
The decree came down the next day, and Lin Yutong is now a fifth-grade pleasant person.
She is not a big official wife, but no one can look down upon her when she goes out. When I went back to the palace to thank the queen, I saw the queen's brows were filled with joy, her cheeks were full of joy, her face was covered with makeup, and her face could not be seen.
But looking at the cautious look of the waiter, she had some suspicions in her mind that the Queen was really pregnant.
She hurriedly congratulated her, and the queen also smiled: "I borrowed your good words."
When I came back and told the Fourth Master about this, the Fourth Master said: "So, the Emperor's departure from the palace must be done quickly."
By the way, Concubine Zhen was taken out. Emperor Zhenglong's family was left in the palace. Even if something happened, it would be easy to say. Don't let the matter in the harem cause any further rift between the father and son.
But no matter how anxious I am, I still have to wait for the first month of the coming year.
He urged the Royal Garden to hurry up, and was busy looking at the two imperial estates in the suburbs of Beijing. The two imperial estates were merged into one to serve as an experimental base. This place was very close to the Imperial Garden.
Just come down from the mountain. Standing on a high point in the garden, you can have a panoramic view of this place.
Yu Liang was also appointed as a seventh-grade Langguan, who was mainly responsible for this farm. Therefore, Shao Hua was also a seventh-grade Ruren.
For a moment, I was overjoyed.
The Yu family held a banquet, and Wang Xifeng felt bad when she went back after drinking. She also said to Jia Lian: "The eldest master is not like Master Jing in the East Mansion. He went to practice Buddhism early and didn't care about the affairs of the mansion. His title
I asked Brother Zhen to accept it early. If you look at his life, he is really the master of the family."
Jia Lian scolded her: "What you say is becoming more and more inconsequential. Is this something that can be ignored?"
"Why not?" Wang Xifeng looked at her sideways: "The eldest lady always complains that she can't get involved in household affairs. If she wants to get involved, it's easy. Give up the title... I don't believe that the master and his wife can be my brother's family. I'm so sorry, uncle and aunt."
It’s my nephew’s home.”
"What crazy words are you talking about?" Jia Lian glanced outside and said, "Shut up. The Queen's wedding is just around the corner. What's the point of making a fuss at this time?"
Wang Xifeng was like a frustrated ball: "Then why don't you go to Brother Heng? He can support his brother-in-law, but why can't he support you? Not to mention the official position bought for two thousand taels of silver.
Now I can see clearly, it's just a fart." After saying that, he said, "That's worse than a fart. The fart makes a sound when it comes out, what's the use of that thing?"
"Anyway, if you have a title in the future, what are you going to do in the camp?" Jia Lian picked at the gap between his teeth with a toothpick: "Is that job suitable for you? When you first enter the officialdom, if you don't have 80% of the ability, you won't be able to do it with a lot of hard work." As he said,
Then he looked at Wang Xifeng: "Don't just focus on my progress. I have made progress. Who will give it to me when I earn such a big fortune? You asked me to learn from others, why don't you learn from others?
Daughter-in-law, which family doesn’t have a son..."
"If someone has a son, then it's time for him to have a son." When he mentioned the matter of not having a son, it hurt Wang Xifeng's lungs. How could he do anything wrong in this world? Anyway, he only has himself to blame for not having a son.
What? Fart! "The house is clean, there is not a single bad person. Did you see it? The eldest sister of the Yu family went back to her parents' house after having a drink. The eldest brother Heng was still worried and stood beside the carriage.
, helped him up in person, touched his hands first to see if they were cold, and put a charcoal stove over. What about me? Have you ever cared about whether I was cold or hot? You just ate wine and Gaole and looked at me to see if I had done anything.
You feel comfortable serving me. I control you a little bit more, but you go around arranging things about me that are not right or wrong. Half of my reputation for being awesome is spread by you. Is it because I can’t give birth, or not?
It will give birth. If you only focus on staying at home and resting at home every night, and I am not a hen that can't lay eggs, why can't you give birth to a brother?"
The noise made Jia Lian frightened. He was afraid that the noise would be spread and the master and his wife would hear it, so he hurriedly said: "I'm not going out, I'll be back soon." Then he called Ping'er: "You
He's a dead man! You didn't see your master crying, so why don't you come in and serve him?"
Ping'er was already uncomfortable, and as she spoke, she actually disliked the people in the room. She opened the curtain and went in, with a drooped face, and handed over the handkerchief. Wang Xifeng took the handkerchief and said to Ping'er, "You too
It's useless. As long as you can raise a brother, I don't have to bear his words."
Ping'er was also annoyed: "Then I will raise a brother for grandma soon, otherwise grandma won't be able to tolerate us."
Wang Xifeng choked her throat, took the handkerchief and threw it at Ping'er: "You are a waste of time, you really deserve to die." Ping'er snorted coldly and turned around and went out. Wang Xifeng only scolded Jia Lian.
: "Go! You go and get her for me. It's all your fault. Go and call her. If she can't give me a son this year, I'll sell her and buy one who can give birth."
Come."
The more I talk about it, the less decent it becomes.
Jia Lian quickly interrupted: "I'm going to Brother Heng's place tomorrow. Isn't it this year's holiday gift that I haven't given yet? Just in time, find an excuse, I can't let the master know about this. I'm busy at home, and I'm the one walking back and forth.
.You think about it, ever since I said I wanted to visit my family, have I ever had a free day? The master can come to see me ten times a day. I just said that during the Chinese New Year, the garden has almost been tidied up, so I have been slack for a few days. You prefer
Like a ghost urging you, you kept urging me from behind. You said that we worked hard, and now it’s done. At this moment, you asked me to go out and find a way out... What did you think of you? "
When Wang Xifeng thought about it, this was right: "Then there's no rush. Let's wait until the wedding ceremony is over before we look at it." Her voice softened: "It's not that I'm in a hurry. But an errand is different from an errand. Let's just say Yu
My cousin, my job is to meet the old saint once a month. The old saint and the saint are interested in that important place. If you do well, everyone will see it. This is going up.
Could it be that my road is not smooth? Ordinarily, if I really wanted to be an official, and if I could find a good official, I would have asked my uncle to arrange it. This is not because my uncle is away now, because the master insisted on recruiting Jia Yucun.
Instead, I wrote to my uncle and asked him to arrange it. Jia Yucun was a failure again. He was dismissed after not being in office for two years. On the contrary, my uncle was implicated. He recommended several people later, but all of them were kicked back."
Is there such a thing?
Jia Lian frowned: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"What's all the fuss about?!" Wang Xifeng didn't care and leaned back.
"You are really stupid..." Jia Lian shook his head: "Tell me this in detail..." I always felt that something was wrong.
Feeling something was wrong, Jia Lian asked Fourth Master.
Can the fourth master tell him that the court is on guard against Wang Ziteng?
He said: "The imperial court has a lot of concerns when it comes to employing people. Even the emperor doesn't just hire whomever he says he wants to use. There are many pros and cons that have to be weighed. Furthermore, these new forces and old forces,
The back-and-forth confrontation, where you win one today and he wins another tomorrow, is nothing new. So, you suddenly heard one or two things and thought it was a big deal. You can ask
I asked Mr. Wang and he was calm and motionless, so it means there is no serious problem."
Jia Lian felt that this stuff was very profound and made sense. He also felt that he understood it, but when he went out, he felt that he didn't understand anything.
But the general meaning is: If Wang Ziteng doesn’t think there is a problem, then there is no problem. Thinking too much is just unfounded worry.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, Lin Yutong is really busy here.
Jia Xia's wedding is scheduled for the sixth day of the lunar month.
The new daughter-in-law did not come to Lin Yutong, only to the house prepared for Jia Xia. It was now repainted and decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere. Lin Yutong was busy talking about how it was easy to help Jia Xia marry the new daughter-in-law.
.
This girl from the Qi family is a bit cute and naive, and she is only fifteen years old. If she is from a simple family, her temperament would be quite good. On the day of the wedding, Jia Shu came back, but Qian did not come back. After paying homage to Gaotang,
The family members interrupted and said, "Go and pay homage to your brother and sister-in-law too. Without your brother and sister-in-law, you wouldn't be here today."
In terms of reputation, it greatly improved the reputation of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.
On the second day after the wedding, Jia Shu had not left yet. The fourth master invited people from the clan, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, including Jia Daixiu and more than a dozen people from the side clan to be witnesses.
He divided Jia Xia out. In addition to the properties he told Jia Xia before, he also gave Jia Xia an additional 10,000 taels of silver. You must know that the money for Jia Xia's marriage and engagement was all paid by the fourth master.
The Qi family also spent more than 20,000 taels on a dowry for their daughter. This dowry came with the new daughter-in-law, and it became Jia Xia's family business from now on.
Quite a lot.
With someone here, I also went through the dowry list for the young lady. It was meant to be a testimony.
Unexpectedly, I discovered that the gift given to the young mother was no less than the gift given to Jia Xia.
Jia Zheng said: "This is too much."
Jia Shu opened and closed his mouth, and the fourth master said: "In my husband's family, he should earn the family property by himself."
Therefore, I would rather lose my brother than my sister.
Jia Xia also nodded and took out the family's old house and a hill, "Let's add some to my sister."
The result of this was that Jia Lian went back and had a problem with Wang Xifeng. If he married his sister and had to pay so much as a dowry, how would his family provide a dowry for the Spring Festival wedding next year?
Is it possible that the girls from the Duke's Mansion are not as good as a girl from the side branch?
During the Chinese New Year, Wang Xifeng complained about this to Lin Yutong: "It's not like you don't know that the family's money is hard to come by now."
"There are quite a few people who have been copied back from the Lai family." Lin Yutong said, "Don't cry about being poor."
On the contrary, Wang Xifeng was speechless.
When she was avoiding people, Youshi said: "The old lady and the madam have a good heart. Whatever other people have, our family must have it. For example, the garden built by Concubine Zhou's family is not half as big as ours, but
There must be something nice in someone else's garden. Our garden must not only have it, but also be better than others. A few years ago, we spent tens of thousands of taels just on the Taihu stone. I didn't see that Taihu stone was anything like the others.
What a difference there is between the stones." After saying that, he whispered: "Who knows what the situation will be like when the queen is visiting the relatives. If she can stay at home for a few days, it's just a waste of money. I'm afraid she will come back for three or two days.
... If Feng Yatou said that the money is not shared, then it means that she really is not willing to share the money. Let alone one Lai family, even ten Lai families are not enough. How can you be so sure about this garden? Luxury.
There are only more luxurious things, not the most luxurious ones, where is the end?"
Therefore, cleaning up the Lai family in advance did not solve the Jia family's financial crisis.
