Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"Jia Yucun?" Jia Fu raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "I heard Shi Yin mentioned you."

Jia Yucun was originally calm, neither humble nor overbearing, but when Jia Fu said the word Shi Yin, his face changed slightly.

"Master Hou and Brother Shi Yin..."

Jia Fu smiled faintly, "This Marquis and Shi Yin are gentlemen's friends. Speaking of which, when you went to Beijing for the exam in the past, Shi Yin wrote me a letter, hoping that I would take care of you."

Jia Yucun was at a loss for a moment, he didn't know that Zhen Shiyin had done this behind his back.

He only thought that Zhen Shiyin's help to him was only the 50 taels of silver that he had given him at the beginning. Later, when he became an official, he heard that Zhen Shiyin ran away with the Taoist priest, so he gave all the rewards to Zhen Shiyin's wife, Feng Shi. As for Jiao Xing, He has always thought that Jiao Xing is a hero with huge eyes in the makeup, with discerning eyes, and he married Jiao Xing as the second wife later.

When he was in Renzhi County of Daru Prefecture, besides marrying Jiaoxing as the second wife and sealing a hundred gold to Feng Su, he also thanked Feng for many affairs. Zhen Shiyin and Feng's only daughter, but he only saw her once when Zhen Yinglian was three years old. He only remembered that she had a rouge mole between her eyebrows. After so many years, who remembers it?

"Are you here for the news about the recovery of the former members of the capital?"

Jia Yucun said in shame, "Master Hou knows things like a god."

"Actually, I noticed you as soon as I came to Beijing. After all, you are the person entrusted to me by an old friend. I still have a good impression, but it is not so easy for you to follow my path. Before you were dismissed, the evaluation It's not very good, otherwise the emperor will not dismiss you, so I will ask you, are the charges of dismissal true?"

Jia Yucun didn't dare to hide anything from Jia Fu, the Marquis was famous for being powerful, and he fell into a disadvantage when he met him. Naturally, he honestly told all about his deeds.

Greed is definitely greedy, but who is not greedy when he is an official?More or less, he will be greedy, but more crimes are fabricated by his superiors who think he is not pleasing to the eye.

Jia Fu thought of Zhen Shiyin's daughter who was living outside, and sighed, "It's nothing to help you, but it's a pity that Shiyin's daughter is still living outside, and you should have seen Yinglian. If you have news, come back and forth." Me, it's also a deal."

It wasn't that Jia Fu had bad intentions, it was just that Shi Yin, although he hadn't known each other for a long time, made a deep impression on him. Jia Fu was also on a whim, and he also knew that it might be difficult to find news about Yinglian.

They have been homeless for seven or eight years, where can they be found?

Jia Yucun heard Jia Fu's implication, overjoyed, and quickly promised to tell Jia Fu once there was news about Zhen Yinglian.

Jia Fu is an assistant minister of the cabinet. It is a trivial matter to arrange this. On the day of the inscription, because there is no suitable vacancy, Jia Yucun is asked to stay in the capital temporarily to wait for vacancies.

Put aside the matter of Jia Yu Village for now, but Jia Fu heard Liu Zhi talking about the mess in the West Mansion.

It was also related to Jia Baoyu. That day when Jia Yucun entered Beijing, he went to see Jia Zheng first, and Jia Zheng brought him to see Jia Fu. He didn't know that there was a commotion in the inner courtyard of the West Mansion. Take the word frown and frown, what does frown mean?The meaning of the frown is that Baoyu is really trying to ridicule the cousin girl of the Lin family?

I also heard that when I asked the cousin girl of the Lin family if she had any jade, she smashed the jade as soon as she returned.

"You really don't know, Xifu spoils this precious jade so much that even brother Hu and Lian have to stand aside. If Brother Zhu didn't fight for himself, he would have no place for him long ago." Liu Zhi said to Xifu now. The old lady was really dissatisfied. Which brother of the younger generation didn't open Meng and move to the outer courtyard to study when he was five or six years old?

Pian Baoyu is now seven or eight years old, and still lives in the old lady's green gauze closet.

Jia Fu frowned when he heard Liu Zhi's words, "Ru Hai and I are also friends, is his girl getting angry in the West Mansion?"

"I heard that she cried a lot, and they all went to care about Baoyu, but no one cared about this girl who just lost her mother." Liu Zhi didn't know what the old lady was thinking, since she eagerly received her, she took good care of her. What kind of?

Jia Fu frowned even more, "You go and ask someone to clean up the Biluo Courtyard behind Huifang Garden. I remember that my younger siblings lived in Biluoyuan back then, and my younger siblings were born in Yangzhou. Biluoyuan was renovated according to Yangzhou customs. Ruhai's daughter just came from Yangzhou, right? It just happened to take over to live in for a while, since Wanwan got married, Biluoyuan has been empty, and now it is considered to be occupied."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi was a little surprised, but Jia Fu never took the initiative to bring girls from other families to live in the mansion.

"Alright, I heard that Miss Lin's cousin is now living with Baoyu in the Bisha closet in Rongqingtang, it's outrageous." Liu Zhi said.

Jia Fu was stunned, "The West Mansion didn't even clean up a place for Ru Hai's daughter?"

You know, sister Min passed away at this time last year, and it was already a year later when a boat was sent to Yangzhou to pick her up. I heard that the girl Ruhai fell ill on the way, and she didn't arrive in the capital until the end of winter.

One year before and after, ten yards are enough to clean up, right?Up to now, he is actually squeezed together with Baoyu?What is this like?

"Go to the West Mansion to pick up Ruhai's daughter right now, and immediately send someone to clean up the living room in Biluoyuan. The Lin family is a scholarly family, and his daughter is seven years old. How can he live with a foreign man? In the green gauze closet, asking outsiders to listen, doesn’t it mean that our Jia family doesn’t understand the rules?” Jia Fu’s dissatisfaction with the West Mansion has accumulated for a long time, and today it has completely exploded, so he stood up and asked Jia Zheng to come over for a while. Come on, Baoyu's education can't be delayed any longer. It's hard to be a big deal if a few women in the inner house are used to it!

Liu Zhi sensed that Jia Fu was agitated, so she hurriedly ordered someone to tidy up the courtyard, and then asked someone to go to the West Mansion to invite Jia Zheng, "Why did the master suddenly get angry?"

Jia Fu let Liu Zhi give him comfort, and said angrily, "The old lady of Xifu is getting old now, and she is getting more and more dizzy. Baoyu is already over eight years old, how can she arrange for him to sleep with Ruhai's daughter?" In a green gauze closet?"

What absurdity! !

He has been in charge of the Jia family for so many years, and this is the first time he can't hold back and wants to curse!

Liu Zhi sighed, "The old lady in the West Mansion is getting old, don't show your anger, be more tactful..."

"I'll write a letter to Ruhai later, Ruhai's daughter will live with us in the future, Baoyu from Xifu..." Jia Fu felt a headache when he mentioned Baoyu. As long as Baoyu was involved, the old lady in Xifu would be unreasonable , she was going to coerce her back to Jinling at every turn, so she went to Jinling at her age, what do you think of the Jia family from outside?

And Baoyu's temperament, Jia Fu really didn't like it. Baoyu respected girls, but he didn't take much responsibility. It's hard to say that Baoyu's temper was a little hypocritical, like a girl, crying at every turn.

Soon, the servants who were going to pick up Daiyu said back and forth, saying that the West Mansion would not let her go. Jia Fu sneered, "Madam, you go pick her up."

Jia Fu didn't want the West Mansion to tarnish the Jia family's reputation, and the old lady in the West Mansion could do it by letting a girl with a different surname sleep in a green cupboard with her brother!

Liu Zhi didn't shirk, and went out directly. Not long after Liu Zhi went out, Jia Zheng came over.

"Brother Fu hurriedly invited me over, what's the hurry?"

He went to fast today, and people from Jiafu ran to the family temple to invite him over. In such a hurry, Jia Zheng had to wonder if something serious had happened.

Jia Fu didn't beat around the bush, and directly told Jia Zheng about Baoyu, "Our brothers from the Jia family's Yu family, except Baoyu, who moved to the outer courtyard at the age of five or six? Lian Huan'er is going to move out. What does it look like if he still lives in the old lady's house? Could it be that he will live with the old lady after he gets married? Cunzhou, I'm not talking about you, your family should also move out of Rongguo Mansion, otherwise the old lady will always spoil you Baoyu, sooner or later there will be a catastrophe, today is just a sign, in the future... you can see for yourself."

Jia Zheng blushed at Jia Fu's words, gasped heavily, and said, "I'll go back and teach this little bastard a lesson!" Damn, men and women sit at different seats at seven years old, have all the books been read in the dog's stomach?

Seeing Jia Zheng come out with anger, Jia Fu had no hope at all, as long as the old lady messed around, Jia Zheng would still compromise.

Jia Fu's eyes flashed coldly, after thinking about it, he decided to call Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng to discuss it another day, and let Jia Zheng move out of Rongguo Mansion without telling the old lady.

To be honest, Jia Zheng is now the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, and living in Rongguo Mansion is actually not suitable anymore. It's just that the old lady couldn't bear Baoyu, so she didn't ask Jia Zheng to move out.

Not long after, I heard that there was a commotion in the West Mansion, and everyone in the mansion cared about Baoyu. Naturally, they didn't expect Daiyu. Liu Zhi was also a super-class Mrs. Hou or the wife of the patriarch of the Jia family, so she took Daiyu along smoothly. return.

Jia Fu met Daiyu in the Nuan Pavilion of the main courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, a six or seven-year-old girl who looked very delicate.

"Your name is Yu'er, right? It stands to reason that you should call me cousin. Come and sit down, don't stand there," Jia Fu ordered someone to boil a pot of water and said, "Don't make tea. Put some ginger in the boiling water, it's so cold outside, drink some ginger soup to warm your body."

It's already dark outside now, and there's actually a curfew outside, if it wasn't for the fact that the two mansions were separated by a narrow road, Jia Fu wouldn't be able to bring Daiyu to the mansion so late.

"Yu'er thanked Uncle Tang..." Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Fu curiously.

Jia Fu is nearly sixty years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man in his early forties, with few wrinkles on his face.

From this uncle, Daiyu felt the long-lost care, just like...just like when she saw her father.

This uncle looks very kind.

"I will write a letter to your father. From now on, you will live in our house. Baoyu in the West Mansion is a demon king in the world. I have wronged you today. I will tell your father about this matter. Your father has Quanquan knows the grievances you have suffered today. If Baoyu wants to see you, just ignore him. Baoyu is used to lying low in front of girls. A few days ago, the girl from Shijia went to live in Xifu, and Baoyu was also very courteous. The child has no malicious intentions, but he just doesn't know the rules. You don't look well. I'll ask an imperial doctor to come back tomorrow to show you. Although it's a weak disease brought out of the womb, it's not bad to take care of. Relax, if you miss your father, just mention it to my uncle or your aunt, and we can send someone to send you back to stay for a while."

Hearing this, Daiyu was full of surprise, "Can Yu'er really go back and stay for a while?"

Ever since she entered Beijing, she was startled every step of the way, not daring to relax in the slightest, even so, she also suffered a lot of grievances for Baoyu who did not play cards according to common sense.

Jia Fu smiled and said, "When your father was in Beijing, we were still close friends, so we treated this place as our own home. Don't be restrained. Uncle won't lie to you. If you miss home, just mention it directly. Be good, I'll talk to you first." Auntie, let's go rest," said looking at Liu Zhi, "Have the rooms in the Biluo Courtyard been tidied up?"

"It's already been cleaned up by now," Liu Zhi felt a little surprised when she saw Jia Fu being so kind to female dolls other than her own daughter for the first time, but she also liked Daiyu very much. , arousing pity, "Yu'er and aunt go back to rest."

Daiyu bowed and resigned, and followed Liu Zhi out.

As soon as they left, Jia Fu went to the study to write a letter, and then handed it to Xu Lin, asking him to hand the letter to Ren Xiao tomorrow, and let Ren Xiao go to Yangzhou himself, and hand the letter to Lin Ruhai.
