Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 62 Jia Qing’s face
In the blue gauze cupboard, Lin Daiyu read the letter several times, feeling filled with joy.

She suddenly felt as if she had support in Rongguo Mansion. Even though she was thousands of miles away, there was still a big brother who was thinking about her.

She carefully put the letter away, thought about it for a while, then turned to the maid and said, "Zicuckoo, help me go to Brother Bao's room and ask. If there are any envelopes, please bring me some envelopes."

Zijuan could see Lin Daiyu's joy and asked deliberately: "Girl, who are you planning to write to?"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Daddy, and brother Qiong, why don't you go quickly."

In Mengpo Zhai, Jia Zheng was receiving guests at this time, and the person sitting opposite him was Jia Yucun.

After Jia Yucun escorted Lin Daiyu to Beijing that day, he immediately went to Rongguo Mansion to post a message and paid a visit to Jia Zheng in the name of "nephew".

Jia Zheng was a man who loved talents. When he saw that he had a dignified appearance, extraordinary conversation, and Lin Ruhai's reputation, he agreed to work for him to seek reinstatement opportunities.

From then on, Jia Yucun often went to Rongguo Mansion to visit Jia Zheng, firstly to inquire about the progress, and secondly to draw closer to the Jia family.

Today Jia Yucun came again, just as Jia Qiong's letter had just been delivered.

The topic between the two naturally turned to the world-famous little poetry fairy of the Jia family.

Jia Yucun complimented: "Brother Jia Shi is a young man, and his literary and military talents are among the best in the world.

However, he wrote a letter to Mr. Zheng from as far away as Hangzhou. It seems that he was taught by Mr. Zheng in the past and was able to achieve what he is today. "

When Jia Zheng heard this, he waved his hands and said, "No, no, Brother Qiong's ability depends entirely on his own hard work and has nothing to do with me."

Jia Yucun added: "In February of this year, when brother Jia Shi went south to study and passed by Yangzhou, he paid a visit to Mr. Lin's house. Mr. Lin was full of praise for his talent, learning and character.

Unfortunately, I went out to visit friends that day and was not at home, so I didn't get to see him. I felt very regretful.

Brother Shi is so determined to study. If he wants to take the next subject, the title on the gold list will be like searching for something. "

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and nodded: "Speaking of the imperial examination, maybe Brother Qiong will still be able to rely on you in the future."

Jia Yucun was startled when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Why did Mr. Zheng say this?"

Jia Zheng said: "Your matter has been sorted out. Within two or three months, you can resume your duties.

Magistrate Yingtian is old and sick, and will definitely not stay in office after this term expires.

I have already entrusted someone to make up for the shortage in Tianfu. "

Jia Yucun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood up and prostrated: "If this happens, I will make a grass ring and repay the kindness of the government official."

Jia Zhengxu helped him and said, "Yucun doesn't have to be like this.

We belong to the same clan. You have the talent to help the world, and I should help you realize your ambition. "

Jia Yucun got Jia Zheng's promise and waited for news in Chang'an with peace of mind. As expected, he was resurrected in less than two months.

As soon as Yingtian Magistrate's term expires, he can go south to take up his post in glory.

You must know that the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing, the old capital of Chu, is a third-rank official. You can imagine Jia Yucun's inner excitement.

The Jia family's ancestral home is Jiangning County, Jiangning Prefecture.

Jiangning Mansion is actually Yingtian Mansion, also known as Nanjing, Jinling, and Stone City.

So if Jia Qiong takes the government examination in the next few years, it will really be Jia Yucun who takes the exam.

Jia Zheng said that Jia Qiong would rely on Jia Yucun for the imperial examination, so he naturally agreed.

Jia Qiong, who was far away in Hangzhou, did not know that Jia Zheng was already paving the way for him to take the imperial examination.

He had never thought about gaining fame through this method. He was confident in taking the exam himself, so there was no need to cheat.

After Jia Yucun left, Jia Zheng read Jia Qiong's letter again, thought about it over and over, and finally made up his mind and walked towards Jia Mu's courtyard.

As I was passing by the Bi Sha Cupboard, I happened to hear the sound of laughter and frolicking in the house.He signaled the maids at the door to be quiet and stood outside the door listening for a while, but it was Jia Baoyu who was begging Lin Daiyu to show him the letter she wanted to send to Jia Qiong.

Lin Daiyu didn't want to give it, so Jia Baoyu started to get into trouble with her, while Sanchun stood by and tried to persuade her with a smile.

Jia Zheng increasingly felt that what Jia Qiong said in the letter made sense. Now that Baoyu and Daiyu were still young, it didn't matter.

But if the two of them keep getting along like this together, in two years when they are older, there is no guarantee that they will not do something that is detrimental to the family tradition.

Even if it didn't happen, it would be bad for Lin Daiyu's reputation if it spread. How could he explain it to his brother-in-law Lin Ruhai?

Thinking of this, he coughed and walked into Daiyu's room.

The few people who were having fun were startled when they saw Jia Zheng coming in, and they quickly saluted.

Not to mention Jia Baoyu, who was so frightened that his legs weakened when he saw his expressionless father.

Jia Zheng first glared at Baoyu, then turned to Lin Daiyu and said pleasantly: "Daiyu, have you received your brother Qiong's letter?"

"I got it, second uncle."

Lin Daiyu was puzzled. She had met Jia Zheng several times in the past few months, but he had never spoken to her so kindly as now.

Being smart, she immediately understood that it must be because of Brother Qiong.

Jia Zheng asked again: "That's good. Brother Qiong said that he recognized you as his adopted sister. Is this true?"

Lin Daiyu nodded: "Yes, uncle, it is father who makes the decision."

Jia Zheng smiled and said: "Haha, so is your father. You are already relatives, so why should you recognize us as relatives?

From now on, if you have any trouble in the house, come to me and my uncle will make the decision for you. "

Lin Daiyu said hurriedly: "Thank you, uncle."

Jia Zheng said again: "Does Baoyu come to bully you often? If he dares to do this again in the future, you have to tell me and I will not spare him."

Lin Daiyu said hurriedly: "No, Brother Bao takes good care of me and has never bullied me."

Jia Zheng nodded and turned to look at Jia Baoyu, who was huddled in the corner and trying his best to reduce his presence.

His face immediately darkened and he asked coldly: "Baoyu, why didn't you go to school today?"

Jia Baoyu swallowed and said tremblingly: "I... feel... unwell today, so my ancestors asked me to rest at home for the day."

Jia Zheng snorted and said, "Feeling unwell? You feel unwell when you go to school. How about playing around here and getting better?"
I think you are naughty by nature!Come with me. "

When Jia Baoyu heard this, she was so frightened that her beauty turned pale, but she did not dare to disobey her father's orders. She lowered her head and followed Jia Zheng out of Lin Daiyu's room.

Lin Daiyu and Sanchun looked at each other and both felt that Jia Baoyu wanted to take the pill this time.

Tanchun said worriedly: "Sister Lin, will Brother Bao be beaten? Why don't you beg for mercy from your father?"

Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "No matter how I plead for mercy, my uncle won't listen to me.

Besides, I don’t think my uncle would hit Brother Bao. At most, he would scold him. "

Tanchun said: "You don't know Sister Lin, Brother Bao was often beaten by his father when he was a child.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so afraid of his father, right, second sister? . "

Yingchun nodded and said, "Yes, I remember one time when I was a child, my second uncle hit Baoyu hard and beat Baoyu half to death.

It was because of this that grandma let Baoyu live in this courtyard. "

Lin Daiyu was shocked when she heard this and said quickly: "Then let's go tell grandma quickly."
