Red House Shoufu

Chapter 223 Re-enter Rongguo Mansion

Jia Lian hugged her daughter and smelled fragrant and fragrant, which is extremely rare.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian's injured ear, thinking of his hard work in Henan for his family, his nose was sore, and the circles of his eyes were red.

Wang Xifeng, who has always been aggressive, sticks to Jia Lian's side today, unwilling to stay away even a step.Except for father-in-law Jia Amnesty, all the people in the Mansion were delighted with the glory Jia Lian had brought to the family, but who knew that this man almost had half of his head cut off.

"Lian'er, when will your second uncle come back?"

Jia Shishi looked at the first room happily, while Jia Zheng was away from the second room, and the second daughter-in-law was paralyzed in bed, so her heart turned to the second room.

Jia Lian handed his daughter over to his father, who had been staring at him eagerly for a long time, and said to Jia Shishi, "Cousin Lin, the imperial envoy, is returning to Beijing, and Second Uncle and Master Du have to assist Mr. Zhang Ge in dealing with the follow-up matters in Henan. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, after all, Second Uncle and Lord Du are familiar with the affairs of imperial envoys, so it's not appropriate to change people midway."

Jia She complained: "Mother, the second child is an imperial envoy, how could he come back as soon as he said it. If it weren't for the special situation of the eldest nephew, he wouldn't be able to come back now..."

"Yes, grandma, you don't know. When I first arrived at Daming Mansion, my grandson almost didn't recognize my second uncle. The tens of thousands of people in Daming Mansion are managed by my second uncle in an orderly manner. Even Du Yushi, who has always been critical My lord, everyone praises my second uncle as a person who is close to the people...Anyway, Mr. Du said that my second uncle's work department is a waste of talent."

Jia Lian recalled the scene when he first arrived at the Daming Mansion, and he was really taken aback by the great changes in Jia Zheng.

In the past, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, who liked to talk about politics in the Qing Dynasty, was able to roll up his sleeves and fight wits and courage with profiteers and wealthy families to get a large amount of food, and he was able to arrange for refugees to cook porridge for disaster relief regardless of the weather.

Seeing the disbelief on the faces of everyone in the Rongxi Hall, they became like telling a story, telling what they saw and heard.

He finally sighed and said: "I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, the second uncle's talent is not to write colorful moral articles, but the second uncle's specialty is being an official close to the people. If there is a chance, the second uncle will go to the chief envoy to be an assistant." The two officials are much better than staying in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry."

The second child still has this ability?
Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Lian dumbfounded, his second younger brother had always regarded himself as a scholar, he sat in the cold yamen every day or chatted with a few useless literati raised in the mansion, and he didn't even care about the common affairs of the mansion.

I didn't expect that after going to Daming Mansion, the changes would be so great, it's extremely rare!
Jia Shishi thought to himself, if this second child is really capable, it would be a good thing.Dafang not only mentioned the title of title, Jia Lian was also a celebrity in front of the emperor.

What about the second room?Apart from the empresses in the palace, there is only Jia Zheng, a Yuanwailang from the Qingshui Yamen.If Jia Zheng really has the talent to be an official close to the people, even if she puts on her old face, she will go to the old sage to ask for a favor. What if she can become a high-ranking official?

"If this is the case, our family will have to plan for the second brother... Boss, can you clear it up and ask the second child for a foreign job?"

"Don't!"

Hearing Jia Shishi's words, Jia Lian hurriedly stopped him: "Grandmother, don't do this! Our house is cooking with fire, and it's better to be quiet than to move. Your Majesty's holy eyes are like torches. Naturally, it will be suitable for you. Besides, when things in Henan If you succeed, you will naturally reward civil and military heroes, and there will be results when the time comes."

"That's the only way..."

Jia Shishi stopped the topic thoughtfully, she glanced at Jia Lian who was serious, and then at the other people on the round table, pressing down on this thought in her heart.

……

The emperor's care for his own people can be said to be meticulous. Whether it is Lin Shu or Jia Lian, the emperor gave ten days off.

Early the next morning, Lin Shu changed into a Confucian robe, and led Daiyu to visit Rongguo Mansion.

He pretended to be the nephew of the Rongguo Mansion, and he had received Jia Lian's great kindness, so he naturally had to go to thank him according to the etiquette.

The carriage leisurely arrived at Ningrong Street in Dashi Yongfang. Jia Lian, who had known about this for a long time, had already brought a group of brothers to wait at the door.

"Cousin Lin came quite early, and I thought you'd need to sleep a little longer. Unlike me, I can't sleep if I want to. My eldest sister is lying on my chest early in the morning and crying for milk... …Hahaha……"

Is this human?This is absolutely blatant show off!

Lin Shu gave Jia Lian a disdainful look: "Brother Lian is probably so happy that your daughter wakes you up every morning!"

He cupped his fists to say hello to his cousins ​​in Rongguo Mansion, and came to the front hall while Jia Lian laughed.

Jia Amnesty went to the court, but Jia Zheng was not there. Jia Cong and the others still needed to attend ethnology classes, so Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu entertained Lin Shu.

After the servant girl brought the refreshments, Jia Lian sighed and said to Lin Shu: "Sister-in-law Ni told me last night that thanks to Cousin Lin these days, a lot of medicinal materials of all kinds have been sent, and at that time they were sent to the Daming Mansion. Yes, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money..."

Lin Shu waved his hand to interrupt Jia Lian's exclamation: "It's just something outside of the body, Cousin Lian, don't want to mention these again. It's really rare for the elder sister not to take her out. I'm an elder, but I've even prepared gifts."

"Your sister-in-law took you to Rongxi Hall just now, I guess this will be rare by Cousin Lin and the others..."

Jia Lian said with a wry smile: "I just found out yesterday that as long as there are guests at home, he will take the elder sister out to show off to others... um... to show off, so that everyone in the capital will know that the eldest granddaughter of the Rongguo Mansion is the favorite of the elder sister, and give it to the elder sister. My son’s presents are almost filling two rooms.”

Daiyu told Lin Shu about this last night, and he thought it was funny when he thought that Jia She, who was known for his unscrupulousness, had become a madman.

It is estimated that Jia Lian is having a headache, how should he allocate the time to hug his daughter with his father every day.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Shu turned his gaze to Jia Baoyu, who was a little silent.

Thinking of what Daiyu told him last night, she asked, "How is Brother Bao's health? It looks a little stronger than when he was in Daming Mansion just now, but he's still a little thinner."

Jia Baoyu was thinking about something, when Lin Shu suddenly mentioned it, he raised his head in surprise: "Oh, oh, it's much better, thank you, Cousin Lin, for your concern."

"I heard from Yu'er that Brother Bao plans to take the county examination in February next year. I don't know how the homework is going. When I came here, I brought all the books and manuscripts that I used for the boy's examination back then. I thought Brother Bao could use them."

Lin Shu's words were not boastful, the county court had three trials, and he had figured out the doorway of it clearly.Lin Ruhai and his own annotations are included in all the books and manuscripts used.

If Jia Baoyu really wanted to take the road of imperial examinations, as long as he read the books he sent with his heart and didn't propose a proposal, it would be very easy for him to become a scholar.

But Jia Baoyu didn't seem to appreciate it, or he had other plans, so he got up and bowed and said, "Thank you, Cousin Lin, for your concern, but in comparison, let me give it to Brother Lan. If you get a good name in the exam, if you have Cousin Lin's book manuscript, her wish will come true soon..."
