Winning every step of the Red Mansion

197

Jia amnesty received the letter from Prince Zhongsheng, and he was also very surprised. Among these princes, he was only acquainted with Prince Zhongjing, and most of this was because Jia Hu became the companion of Prince Hanqi.This time, Prince Zhongsheng sent a letter from thousands of miles away, but he didn't know what it meant.

The general who sent the letter didn't ask Jia She for a reply, so he left in a hurry.Jia Shen unfolded the letter and looked at it carefully. The beginning of the letter was usually just a few words of greeting. Through the letter, he praised Jia Hu, calling him courageous, resourceful, thoughtful, broad-minded, rare, etc. Wait, wait, even Jia Amnesty couldn't believe his own eyes when he boasted. This letter is really about Jia Hu?

Jia She then looked at it again, and the letter mentioned Jia Hu's success this year, and praised Jia Hu's talent and learning again.Said that he was very fancy about it.This made Jia Amnesty even more confused.Although Jia Hu saved Prince Zhongsheng, when Jia Hu came back last time, he brought back a lot of things to appreciate.Besides, although Jia Hu was good at studying and won the exam this time, after all, taking the imperial examination was not what Jia She asked of Jia Hu. He just wanted him to read more books and get to know more people so that he could support the affairs of the government in the future. use.After all, this title still needs to be inherited.But this time, sending a letter from thousands of miles away, if it was just to congratulate Jia Hu, it would be too much of a fuss.

However, nothing was mentioned at the end of the letter, and Jia Amnesty looked over the letter and didn't see anything interesting.Jia She thought that maybe he just wrote a congratulatory letter because of Jia Hu's winning, but the news was fast enough, so it seems that Prince Zhongsheng paid special attention to Jia Hu.

In the evening, when Jia Amnesty met with his wife, he had to talk about it rather than listen to it.After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang joked: "With such a compliment, I don't think this Hu'er is the one I gave birth to." Mrs. Zhang shook the letter and said, "To say something disrespectful, this compliment is like a matchmaker. Praise!"

Mrs. Zhang's words made Jia She startled, and he stretched out his hand to take the letter and read it carefully.Mrs. Zhang said at the side: "Now Hu'er is not too young. The marriage of Zhu'er's nephew has been decided. I think they are about the same age, but we should make some preparations for the marriage. Why don't I help Hu'er get married too?" Take a look?"

After hearing this, Jia She put the letter on the table and said: "That's true, but there is no rush. After all, you also know that I have high demands on Hu'er, so this marriage should not be careless. I'm afraid Zhou Zheng can't do it either, he still needs to cultivate his character and have good knowledge."

Mrs. Zhang laughed and said: "Where can I find such a perfect person. I don't want to hide the truth from the master. The other day I chatted with the two of them like a joke. Do you know what Huer said?"

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he said energetically, "How should I say it?"

"Hu'er said it doesn't matter if she's other than herself. It would be great if this wife and family can be like a good book in the future. I asked him what he meant? Guess how he answered? He said if it was like a good book When you are happy, you feel sweet when you read it, when you are bored, you feel relieved, when you are sad, you read like a spring breeze, and when you are proud, you can be vigilant without losing interest.”

When Jia She heard this, she nodded slightly, which was somewhat similar to what she imagined. Mrs. Zhang also smiled and said: "Such a beautiful woman is really rare, why don't let her hold the Four Books and Five Classics as a comfort first. Then Hu'er listened." I said the same thing again, so there is no need to rush this matter, and if you read a book all day long, hate it, and hold it boring, don’t be bored to death.”

Jia She nodded, and then asked, "What about Lian'er?" Mrs. Zhang laughed when Jia She asked Jia Lian, "Lian'er is simple, just said four words: pleasing to the eye. "

Jia Amnesty was naturally unhappy when he heard this.What kind of requirement is this, not to mention wives and concubines for women who can enter Jia's mansion, even maids and servants are also required to be good-looking, who is not pleasing to the eye?That's too much of a request.

Mrs. Zhang continued: "I also asked him why he said this. Lian'er replied that knowledge can be taught, family background can be prosperous or declining, character can be modified, and temperament can be cultivated, but it is born to be pleasing to the eye." .” Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, “See if it’s interesting.”

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty let out a "hum". This Jia Lian is not good at anything else, but he is very good at sophistry.If you say one, he will definitely have two, three, four waiting for you, and when you say two, three, or four to him, he will say that these are not very important.

But other than that, Jia She thought of one more thing, could the prince come here deliberately to sniff out this letter?But if Prince Zhongsheng really has this intention, it will be a troublesome matter.Isn't Prince Zhongsheng's prostitute also at the age of marriage at this time.I just heard that this woman is very popular with the queen, so she was taken to the palace.Didn't Yuanchun enter the palace because of this now?

But Jia She thought it was wrong after thinking about it, after all Prince Zhongsheng is now in charge of the military, naturally many aristocratic families in the court are eager to get married with him.But there has been no expression from his own house since then.After all, the Jia family never dreamed of marrying a princess and returning home.But even the Jia family has this intention, and it would be troublesome to marry a princess to go home.What's more, normally speaking, it is not the turn of the Daojia mansion to choose.Jia Amnesty thought for a while, then shook his head, trying to suppress this thought.

In a few days it will be the first day of the lunar new year, and Mrs. Wang promised Ma Daopo to go to the temple to fulfill her vows after Jia Zhu recovered from her illness, so Jia Zhu was very quick, and she was busy going to the temple to fulfill her vows.According to the date negotiated in the mansion, I will go there in person, because Jia Mu and the eldest wife will not go, so Mrs. Wang invited Mrs. Zhu from Ningguo Mansion and her two sister-in-laws from the Wang family to go with her.

Ma Daopo was overjoyed to see that so many people came.Do your best to entertain and entertain.Mrs. Wang naturally felt that her face was bright. Since Jia Zhu subsidized her, the money was much more generous.Naturally, it took a lot to prepare for the marriage, but there was still some left over.Today's blessings and incense are also for Jia Zhu himself, the money is spent on him, and it is hard for others to say anything after spending it.

And my two sister-in-laws are also deeply envious of this matter, and naturally said a lot of nice things to compliment.Even Mrs. Zhu's words were slightly sour.Inside the words, he implicitly accused Mother Jia of why she didn't think about Ningguo Mansion?After all, nothing is more real than real money.

"From this point of view, the old lady's livelihood is too powerful. Who in Beijing doesn't know?" Mrs. Zhu sighed.Everyone nodded after hearing this.Mrs. Zhu said again: "It's rare for him to be sober and not confused. He takes such good care of his grandchildren. Our Ning Mansion is really envious."

The two sister-in-laws of the Wang family couldn't stop nodding.The two of them were shocked when they heard this. It's really shocking that Fang Shu can have such a bonus, not to mention that Jiamu has a lot of other jobs in her hands.Even a little calculation is amazing.But this money has nothing to do with me or the Wang family, and this Mrs. Wang is not a favorite in front of Jia Mu, and she can't get any benefits.But it's a pity that such a large piece of fat is gone.

"Now that Zhu'er has fixed her wedding date, I don't know if your two nephews, Jia Hu and Jia Lian, have any intentions!" Madam Zhu asked.

"I don't know about that." Mrs. Wang replied truthfully. After all, she was too busy with Jia Zhu's affairs now, so she didn't care about other things.

"You are too generous. How dare you, an aunt, not even ask about this matter?"

Mrs. Wang thought to herself, you will naturally understand what your intentions are, but even if you have your own ideas, there is nothing you can do if you have both parents.And how can this marriage not obey the orders of the parents, but obey the orders of the aunt?

"Thinking about it, now the old lady seems to have entrusted Fang Shu's care and prescription to the eldest. From now on, your eldest wife will be able to reap a lot of money by doing this." Mrs. Zhu said again, with a look of envy on her face. : "I don't know what the old lady will give you to take care of in the future?"

Mrs. Wang sighed in her heart after hearing this, it is a good thing that the old lady is willing to take care of me now, how can she dare to ask for a living for herself.However, if all the good things were given to Da Fang, he would naturally not be happy.Originally, he thought that he would let Wang Luanfeng and Wang Xifeng come to the mansion often as guests, so that they could get acquainted in the mansion. If he could marry the eldest one in the future, it would be fine if he had a niece who could talk by himself in the mansion.

It's a pity that the calculation was good, but the two sisters didn't seem to be able to catch the eyes of Jia Mu and Mrs. Zhang.Presumably, the sisters were born pretty well, but the Wang family was born in the army, and they only knew that lack of talent is virtue for their daughters, but Mrs. Zhang's family took the imperial examination career path, so naturally Wang's daughters are not attractive, and beauty alone cannot impress her. , I made a mistake in my wishful thinking.But Mrs. Wang is naturally not reconciled, she used to be when she didn't see the huge amount of money, but now seeing the huge bonus, how can she not be tempted.

Since then, Mrs. Wang has started thinking again, thinking about how to maximize her own interests.

Yuan Chun rested his chin and stared at the two sparrows by the window lattice, fascinated. "I don't know what you're thinking? You've been so listless all day long." The voice suddenly came from behind, startling Yuan Chun.

"Princess, I came back early today." Yuan Chun said.

"The main reason is that there are too many people who went to greet the empress." Princess Fangxian said: "That is to say, I went early, if it was later, I'm afraid I haven't returned yet!"

Yuan Chun frowned, and asked with a puzzled face, "Why are there so many people today?"

"I'll tell you in a low voice. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill. The empress is worried about this, and everyone will naturally go to comfort her when they get the letter."

Now Jia Yuanchun is no longer that simple and innocent little girl. Although the time of experience in the palace is short, it has forced Jia Yuanchun's rapid improvement in insight, and his eyesight has become stronger and stronger, and his ability to recognize people has increased a lot.At the same time, even the performance ability has been greatly improved.

"Ah! Princess, what did you just say?" The crown prince was seriously ill, and he couldn't blame the queen for losing her mind.Yuan Chun was startled.

"I said that the prince is seriously ill. I see that you are not in good condition. You just waited for the bird to go into a trance. What were you thinking just now?"

"I want to go home and have a look. I miss my parents and the old lady for a long time. I wonder if I can go home and have a look?"

The author has something to say: Shi Feier: I don't think I look like a heroine now, but more and more like a soy saucer.

Chocolate crisper: soy sauce is good, soy sauce is good, if you have nothing to do, move here for a walk, soy sauce is good, soy sauce is good, if you have something to do, come and save it.

Shi Feier: Hello chatterbox, goodbye chatterbox.

Chocolate Chip: I feel like I'm a failure as a writer, and I don't even get respect from the characters.

Mrs. Wang: I respect you, get Cuixing out of the house quickly, and...

Chocolate Chip: I'd better stop talking.
