Qing Wu Red House

In March of the sixth year of Hongzheng, the draft that lasted for more than two months finally came to an end. First, it was said that the daughter of Hubu Shangshu Duan Da was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, and she was named Concubine Hui as soon as she entered the palace.Long Yan rejoiced and rewarded Duan Da generously.

Then it came out that Chen Shuhui, the daughter of the Duke of Qi, ran into the eldest prince in Changyang Palace, and the eldest prince begged Emperor Hongzhen to identify her as his concubine.I don't know what Emperor Hong Zhen thought about it, but at the end of March, he pointed Chen Shuhui to Prince Wen's second son.

Later, in early April, it was reported that Emperor Hongzhen would order the opening of Enke. Before the students could cheer, an imperial decree came out of the palace, officially announcing the restoration of the former military imperial examination system. From the first day to the tenth day of July, the first selection of martial arts is held.

After Zheng Jin heard about it, he was silent for a whole day, and finally found Jia Lian on the second day, hoping that Jia Lian would participate in this selection.After Jia Lian heard this, he was stunned for a long time before he stumbled and said, "Master, you mean I can go to be selected? Master, you must be joking. I have only studied for a few days. This time, it's not..."

Zheng Jin only beat Jia Lian to four or five years old, and said in a deep voice, "What? Afraid of embarrassment?"

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "That's not true, it's just that... I'm not very confident!" Zheng Jin softened a little: "I discussed it with the master. With your current level, it is impossible to win the top prize, but Try it out, that Wu Jinshi is still very easy. To tell you the truth, you have nearly ten years of master's skill in you, and you are much more refined than those poor disciples."

Now Jia Lian was really surprised: "Master's ten years of skill?"

Zheng Jin sighed: "You just remember this matter, don't leak the news at will, Tianyou and Haorui don't know about it. Your injury was too dangerous that day, and the master said that even if you are saved, it will affect Yangshou. There is no choice. , Only then did I pass on ten years of skill to you, protecting your heart. This is also your blessing."

Jia Lian was a little silent. Although he knew that his injury was serious, he never expected it to be so serious.After thinking about it, thinking that the Rongguo Mansion had obstructed Wang Xifeng's trip to the south that day, he became even more unhappy.

"Don't think too much about it!" Zheng Jin sighed, "I know your ancestral home is Jinling, and you will go back to Jinling for the primary election. You might as well write a letter to your father and move to Jinling temporarily!" Jia Lian shook his head: "This idea Don't bother the master with trivial matters. We have ancestral property in Jinling, so we can just live in it."

"That's good. I'm thinking of leaving in a few days. There are still a few months before the selection in July. You should also prepare well!" Zheng Jin said.Jia Lian looked forward to it, and said, "Master will go with me!" Zheng Jin nodded with a smile, "Master told me, I will take you as an apprentice well in the future, and you don't have to go back to Daming Temple for the time being."

Jia Lian was very happy, so she went to Wang Xifeng to discuss carefully about going to the martial arts examination.

Wang Xifeng was naturally very happy about this, and said to Ping'er repeatedly: "I really didn't expect that our second master is so promising now." Ping'er also smiled: "That is, in my opinion, It's better to go there early, so as to save the unacceptable things from happening." Wang Xifeng was also a little out of order with joy: "That's exactly what I said. I will ask Sister Lin to help me write a book tomorrow and send it to my uncle, so that my uncle will send his Send some books on the art of war and marching formations to the second master."

Jia Lian was still listening to the two talking with a smile on her face, but after hearing Wang Xifeng's words, she hurriedly stopped him: "Farewell, if you fail the exam, you will make your uncle laugh at you! Besides, Hao Rui also has some good books here, I just take them away. Why bother uncle. Also, I think it's better not to make it public, and I'm not going to tell even my father!"

"Second Lord, why is this?" Wang Xifeng was puzzled, and had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that Jia Lian really didn't want the title of Rongguo Mansion.Jia Lian didn't explain in detail, and after sitting for a while, he went to bid farewell to Lin Haorui.

Lin Haorui generously gave Jia Lian the family's collection of books, and asked Lin Butler to help find the carriage and other things.And Wang Xifeng told Daiyu some housekeeping matters in detail, and gave Lin Ruhai's two aunts: "In my opinion, those two aunts are not easy to trouble, I'm here In the past few days, there have been so many moths. Sister Lin must not be too soft-hearted, I see, it is better to send it to the temple!"

Daiyu knew that what Wang Xifeng said was true, but her father had just passed away, so it was not good for her to be a daughter and send her father's aunt away.But these two aunts are too noisy, Aunt Fang is okay to say, then Aunt Chen is a little difficult to deal with, either because today's water is low, or that day's food is weak, although it is not a big deal, but it is always No worries.

"Don't talk about such nonsense, second brother Lian will definitely be nominated on the list, so congratulations to Daiyu first." Daiyu smiled, "The things of my little daughters here are nothing to give to second brother Lian. Yes, Jinling doesn't know what's going on, so I asked Nanny Song to prepare some quilts and clothes, because Jinling is very close to our place, if there is anything wrong, Sister Feng will send someone back."

"Hey!" Wang Xifeng smiled, "Look, look. Now Miss Lin is a big girl, and we have arranged these things in a logical way." Daiyu teased her: "Sister Feng is laughing at me again."

Although Wang Xifeng was smiling, she felt a little emotional in her heart, thinking that Yingchun and the others are still not in touch with Yang Chunshui, and they don't know anything about these mundane things, how will they get married in the future?

Two days later, Jia Lian and Zheng Jin took Wang Xifeng and his party to bid farewell to Lin Haorui and Lin Haorui. Of course, Qingwen stayed by Daiyu's side.These days, Qingwen lived in Lin's mansion quite comfortably. The girls in Daiyu's house were very simple-minded, unlike the girls in Baoyu's house, who had a little thought that they shouldn't have.And what made Qingwen happiest was the discussion with Mu Qing on embroidery. Mu Qing's craftsmanship is really superb, and Chu Xia who is next to Uncle Lin is a first-class master.In comparison, my own craftsmanship is really unrefined.

And these days, Qingwen looked coldly, and found that now Zijuan, Xueyan and others are good at embroidery. In addition to taking care of Daiyu's life every day, they also make all of Daiyu's clothes by themselves. Not to mention the tailors outside, even the craftsmanship of the second-class maids in the sewing room and yard in the mansion, none of which Daiyu has ever let Daiyu get involved in.This style is actually better than the few princesses in the Rongguo Mansion.

She also asked Zijuan secretly, but Zijuan smiled indifferently: "Qingwen, you are confused, the clothes of the second girl and the others are all made by needleworkers, how can they be worse than our girls. The uncle only confessed to us because he saw that the girl was weak, and he was afraid that the women would not understand the girl's taboos. Then we all learned sewing from Mu Qing, so he took over the job. Don't knock your tongue, it's just plain Let a few girls remember our girl."

Qingwen smiled coquettishly: "Look at you, one by one of our girl and our uncle, you really think you are from the Lin family. Don't forget, your deed of prostitution is still in our house!" Zijuan was not annoyed, and lightly Sighed: "I don't care about that, I'm going to marry the girl. The girl and the uncle will take care of the sale of the contract. If it doesn't work, I'll be my sister-in-law!"

"Who says you're going to be an aunt!" Xueyan's crisp voice sounded: "Sister Zijuan is talking nonsense again, and Miss Be careful is very sad to hear it!"

"Why are you here, girl!" Zijuan was a little surprised, she felt a little uncomfortable today, so she went back to her room to rest, and it is impossible for Xueyan to leave the girl's side.Xueyan smiled and said: "Young lady and uncle went to the courtyard of the two aunts, and Mu Qing and Xiuju followed. Let me see if you feel better. If you are still not feeling well, let Dr. Mei come and have a look!"

"It's not so delicate, but just lie down!" Zijuan smiled and felt relieved.

Xueyan glanced at Qingwen, and said with a half smile: "Sister Zijuan belongs to our girl, and no one will leave. Sister Qingwen should not scare her, lest she get seriously ill again!" Qingwen smiled and twisted Xueyan's face: "You are the one who is the most thoughtful girl. When I was at home, she was a cowardly girl, but who knows that she is so pungent!" Xueyan said sarcastically. "I can't get used to those twists and turns." As he spoke, he glanced at Qingwen again, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Sister Qingwen should also think about herself. Let's compete!"

Although Xueyan doesn't like the atmosphere among the servants of Jia's family, Qingwen has always been kind to her. Although she is sharp-tongued, she is also frank and open-minded. Yes, so I still want to remind you.

Qingwen knew what Xueyan meant, but she didn't want to say more, so she just let it go.Xueyan and Zijuan looked at each other, and said nothing more.

Besides, Lin Haorui took Daiyu to meet the two aunts, Lin Haorui didn't say anything, but just handed over the full power to Daiyu, Daiyu took a breath, and said unhurriedly: "I will tell you two aunts, in a few months , my brother and I are going to Beijing. If the two aunts want to stay here, my brother and I will take good care of them. If the two aunts want to go out, my brother and I will definitely pay the travel expenses. As for the things in the aunt’s room, all You can take it away as much as you can, Daiyu won't hold back!" After speaking, she walked out without greeting the two aunts.

Lin Haorui raised his eyebrows, he thought that Daiyu would understand the two aunts, but who would have thought that would be the case.Daiyu walked out of the small courtyard where her aunt lived, and looked at Lin Haorui with a smile: "My brother thinks that Daiyu's handling is too simple."

Lin Haorui shook her head: "No, it's the result anyway, my sister just took the shortest path." Daiyu pursed her lips: "I didn't think about it, but I just don't want to talk to them more."

Lin Haorui laughed, as expected, he was only an 11-year-old child, and it was normal to be childish.

Aunt Fang had already made plans to go out of the house, and there was no big surprise at this time.But Aunt Chen hesitated, a little bit reluctant to part with Lin's fine clothes and fine food.Aunt Fang sighed: "You are really confused. Now that the uncle is in charge of the house, what are you still hesitating about? In the future, the eldest grandmother will not want to be with you, so what can you say if you shave your hair and become a sister-in-law? You might as well be like me. Going out earlier is justified."
