Chapter 98: Falling Jade(1/2)
Rongxi Hall, East Wing Ear Room.
Although it is spring, the weather is still cool.
The kang is still covered with half-old green satin backrest mattresses.
There is a kang table in the middle, with tea, melon seeds and other items.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue sat at two separate hours and talked about family matters.
After listening to Aunt Xue's words, Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while, and then said slightly puzzled: "I remembered in a daze that in the past two years, Brother Cong said that he had not learned to write poetry yet, and now he can write such good poems?
What a good word?”
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "You didn't see what Baoya liked, it was the first word since this dynasty. It was..."
Mrs. Wang said: "What is it?"
Aunt Xue said regretfully: "It's just for a courtesan, it's not very nice. When people inquired again, why did he stand out for a courtesan and expose his own background. I'm afraid that people will laugh at me..."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she thought of Jia Cong's biological mother and couldn't help but frown slightly.
In fact, not to mention this era, even if you hear that any biological mother is a miserable daughter in a few hundred years, others will "treat" each other.
What's more, the current situation of strict ethics?
Mrs. Wang said lightly: "Luckily, it's a boy..."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "That's right! In this regard, men are much better than our women. If it were a daughter's house, it would be amazing. If you say you are a kiss in the future, you will be picky."
Mrs. Wang smiled and changed the topic: "How has Baomei been doing these days?"
Aunt Xue sighed and said, "It looks much better today. I just went to see their sisters talk, probably because they were talking about that poem.
Although the Xue family has not lacked gold or silver in recent years, they have not lacked pillars.
After the master passed, the Xue family became worse and worse.
When his second uncle was gone, he completely lost his head.
The Xue family is also a big boy. Although they are not as good as the Jia family's twenty-bedroom houses, there are also eight-bedroom houses, which are so upset.
Baoya is an ambitious person. He was planning to enter the palace and there was something that was afraid of at home.
Unexpectedly, because of the little problem I was having when I was a child, I actually got it down.
I am naturally nothing like being a mother, but she herself is so embarrassed..."
As he said that, tears rolled down his eyes.
Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Where is this far? With our closest relatives in the family, who can bully you three?"
Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "It's not that I'm worried that someone will bully you, but Pan'er won't be a good player, and the family must have a promising future."
I didn't think much about it, but Baoyao thought a lot."
Mrs. Wang said with relief: "Bao Yatou is indeed an excellent girl, like our Wang family's daughter."
As she said that, she hesitated a little again, as if she didn't know whether to say anything or not. Aunt Xue was so smart that she hurriedly asked what was going on.
Mrs. Wang said, "There is something. I am thinking about it. I should tell you in advance, and you will talk to Baoyao.
It's that Brother Cong..."
Aunt Xue said strangely: "He? What does he have to do with us?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's nothing to do, it's just...
It's funny to say that although this child has a bad background, he looks very good.
Over the years, I have never seen a more proud child.
At our age, we know that it is not worth it, but we are afraid that every child will be indifferent to his heart..."
Aunt Xue laughed in silence and said, "Is it really good to be born like that?"
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "It is said that he is Xiao Mother."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I can't guarantee you, but I'm relieved to be Bao. She is not that kind of person anymore..."
She knew that her daughter was a very sensible person, so how could she be moved by others' complacentness?
But she forgot that she and Mrs. Wang did not take a good lyric seriously, but Xue Baochai might not be like this...
Aunt Xue was just thinking about other things at this moment and said strangely: "Sister, it is said that? Have you never seen him like that before?"
Mrs. Wang smiled faintly and said, "How powerful was the trouble back then? Rong Mansion was almost a joke for the entire Shenjing.
Only the old man had seen it at home, and after he came back, he spoke, saying that the charming and ungrateful bitch would never be allowed to enter the house.
So don't talk about me, I haven't even seen the old lady."
Aunt Xue covered her mouth and smiled: "It seems that the woman made the old man so angry back then."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "That's right. If not, the master would not be able to live in the East Road Courtyard."
Aunt Xue suddenly said, "It's strange that the master hates this son so much... By the way, I heard that the master is so sick?"
A hint of disgust arose on Mrs. Wang's face and said, "It's all made by myself. Now it's so tormented that I'm not going to be human. I'll beat this one and that. I've beaten the chain back again, and even the eldest wife has suffered."
Aunt Xue exclaimed, "Oh, is it still so powerful?"
Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes and said, "I heard that the eldest lady is discussing calling Brother Cong to come back to serve the disease..."
...
Outside the ritual gate, facing the south hall.
"Cong'er?!"
After hearing everyone's words, Jia Zheng was surprised and said in disbelief: "Do you think it's an excellent lyric made by Cong'er?"
Zhao Guoliang, the doctor of the Qing Dynasty Department, was Jia Zheng's immediate superior, and laughed and said, "Cuan Zhou, I'm chatting in the past, and you always think that the Jia family lacks the literary spirit.
So what now?
The Jia family has a dragon horse, phoenix chicks, and the phoenix is even clearer than the old phoenix."
Qian Mu, Sun Ren, and Li Chang all agreed: "The extreme is the ultimate, you have to try Zhou's wishes, and you should invite the host!"
Jia Zheng was overjoyed and said, "What is a host worth? If it is really a good word, ten hosts will only wait for you! But I don't know what kind of good word it is?"
If it were ordinary good poems and lyrics, how could such a thing be caused?
Jia Zheng thought it must be a great word!
Qian Mu smiled and said, "Cunzhou, I am waiting for you today, but I am not going to bother you.
I am waiting to see the young hero who was unfair and unrighteous in the Qionglin Banquet criticized the new top scorer!
If there is a Grand Sikong, we will not dare to disturb the Imperial College.
But then again, we consider it as an old friend with your nephew...
When he performed the ceremony of apprenticeship two years ago, we all witnessed it.
Today is also a day of rest. Why don’t Cunzhou invite your nephew back and let us meet again when we meet old friends?"
Everyone else laughed and agreed.
When Jia Zheng heard this, how could he say something bad? He also wanted to see Jia Cong in his heart.
In the past two years, Jia Cong has been home few times a year and has seen him very few times.
He didn't know that Jia Cong had grown to this point, so he hurriedly arranged for people to say, "Go to the Imperial College Office quickly and search Cong'er and go home!"
Zhao Guoliang smiled again and said, "Cunzhou, it seems that you don't know much about us yet. Your nephew is famous for studying hard!
Anyone who knows him, who doesn’t know that as long as he doesn’t go to school, he will definitely study in the Imperial College Library?”
Jia Zheng was really ashamed when he heard this.
Qian Mu and others blamed Zhao Guoliang and said, "The situation in the public sect is complicated, and many things are not something that Cun Zhou can decide. Why should Lord Zhao be too harsh?"
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was very grateful and hurriedly asked someone to invite Jia Cong back to his house.
...
Tanchun courtyard.
In the main room, seven sisters sat around Tanchun's rosewood marble desk.
The room was quiet, and even the two maids, Shishu and Cui Mo, who were adding tea to everyone, seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, and they were touched and touched each other easily.
There was only a piece of peach and bamboo paper on the desk.
This is brought by Baochai, and the book written on the paper is the magnolia flower order "Give to Apricot Flower Girl".
She also told the story, and at this moment, everyone was still savoring the afterglow.
"call!"
After a long time, Tanchun let out a long sigh, Jun's eyes were full of brightness, and he smiled with a pursed lips: "I know!"
Seeing her like this, everyone else laughed.
