Jia Qiang's Ordinary Life

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

When Xue Baochai came back from Baoyu's place in Yihong Courtyard, she saw Aunt Xue sitting in Hengwu Courtyard waiting for her with a happy face, so she asked, "Madam, is there any happy event at home?" I married Baoyu Ci, thinking about it this way, my brows and eyes became happy.

Aunt Xue didn't know what Xue Baochai was thinking, and said with a smile: "Isn't it a happy event? Your elder brother is getting older, and it's time to get married! A few days ago, I was thinking about finding someone to be his wife. No, today , the official media introduced a good one!"

Xue Baochai was a little disappointed, but soon became happy. No matter how stupid Xue Pan was, he had always been very kind to Xue Baochai.She hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Aunt Xue said beamingly: "Coincidentally, this family is a former family friend of our Xue family, and also an imperial merchant! It is the Xia family in Chang'an City!"

Xue Baochai thought for a while and asked, "Isn't it the Xia family with ten miles of sweet-scented osmanthus?"

"That's right, it's their family!" Aunt Xue smiled, "This generation of the Xia family only has one daughter, and I heard that she was born as beautiful as a flower, not to mention how beautiful it is! The old couple of the Xia family couldn't bear to part with their daughter and kept it all the time. Now It's too late, I don't know how many people are talking about marriage, if it weren't for our family's friendship with Xia's family for several generations, this marriage would not be your elder brother's turn!"

Xue Baochai also became happy: "No matter what, it's good to have a sister-in-law who can take care of my brother, so that my brother won't go out all the time and be spoiled by some dubious people! How is the Xia family?"

Aunt Xue was obviously very satisfied: "That's a first-class good family. Speaking of which, the old couple of the Xia family only have such a daughter. In order to provide for the elderly, they had to adopt a son from the clan. My own daughter, I can't say, I want to give most of the property to my daughter as a dowry! The family property of several generations of the Xia family is no worse than that of our Xue family. Miss Xia's marriage happens to be able to help our family's business. , is simply a match made in heaven!"

Xue Baochai's views are obviously different from Aunt Xue's. She said on the sidelines: "For a family like us, it doesn't matter if money is not. The key is that Miss Xia's character. it is also fine!"

Aunt Xue nodded: "My son, you are still knowledgeable! However, if this Miss Xia family is not a good person, how many people would think of a way to propose marriage to her family! However, I still go to find out , if it’s a good one, our two families can exchange Geng Tie, get hired early, and set the date! When your elder brother gets married, I will let go of most of my heart and wait for the good things between you and Baoyu Already!"

"Ma'am!" Xue Baochai blushed and said in a low voice, "The old lady hasn't let go yet!"

"Don't worry about the old lady! How old is the old lady!" Aunt Xue was very disapproving, "Besides, although the old lady brought you up, after all, she is still your aunt's daughter! I will go there tomorrow Urge your aunt to ask her to go to the empress to give her a marriage, our two families should settle this matter as soon as possible, if that is the case, even if the old lady wants to object, it will be too late!"

Indeed, the old lady is too old, and Wang Xifeng, who has always been attached to her, is no longer the housekeeper. Her control over this Rongguo Mansion has reached its lowest point. Except for the people around her, most people would rather listen to Xue Baochai, an outsider, yes The old lady was fooled as much as she could.

The old lady thought differently, although she didn't force Lin Daiyu and Baoyu to match up now, after all, Lin Daiyu's body was really worrying, but besides Lin Daiyu, there was no Shi Xiangyun?Shi Xiangyun is her natal niece and granddaughter, no matter what, she is better than Xue's family!What a golden and jade match, Shi Xiangyun also has a golden unicorn!It's a pity that Shi Xiangyun seems to have been raised too innocently, thinking that Xue Baochai, a small girl from a small family, is a good one.It's no wonder that this girl has been living with her uncle and aunt all these years, neither of those two families are good at raising children, and Xiangyun is not their own, so she will definitely not tell her about these intrigues in the back house, thinking of this , the old lady couldn't help sighing, forget it, take one step, count one step!Besides, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I am an old lady in her seventies and eighties, how can she manage so much?

Now Jia Qiang doesn't want to have anything to do with the two houses of Jia's family at all. He lives in the Hanlin Academy every day--the family's life is between two o'clock and one line. Occasionally, he has time to drink tea and chat with Li Cheng. Educate and educate my two children, and the rest is fine.The living man next to the emperor was going to be promoted, and now he has started to take over part of the work, so he can often meet with the saint. Speaking of which, the impression of him is not bad, and Jia Qiang is not a flashy person. Being able to do practical things, I have been editing and writing in the Imperial Academy these years, and I have compiled "History of Ming Dynasty" with a few colleagues, which is quite successful. Unlike others, Jia Qiangxiu's part is quite to the point, without much tendency, On the contrary, the current Holy Majesty appreciated it after seeing it.

Today, he is a good emperor, and has a good reputation in the court and the public. Few people can see his decisive nature under his gentle appearance.Perhaps, as a king, they are all so ruthless.After following him for a few days, Jia Qiang fully realized what thunder, rain and dew are all due to the grace of the king.However, anyway, with Jia Qiang's current status, he can't get involved in many things, so he just watched coldly, accumulating experience in the power field.

According to Jia Qiang's seniors, with Jia Qiang's current status, what she has to do is to watch more, listen more, think more, but never talk too much.The emperor's close ministers seem to be beautiful, but in fact, as long as one wrong step is taken, there will be an abyss.Jia Qiang took this very seriously, and every time she saw those cabinet ministers who could be said to be very beautiful outside, trembling in front of the imperial court, with sweaty and heavy clothes, Jia Qiang could understand very well what it means to be with the king like a tiger. Even though the emperor still had such a smile on his face, who knows, what is he thinking in his heart?

However, things in the officialdom were just like that. The emperor had to take his own reputation into consideration, and generally would not be too harsh on his courtiers. Therefore, Jia Qiang didn't have much problem and got used to it after a while.On the contrary, Li Cheng was a little displeased. Jia Qiang used to work in the Hanlin Academy for editing and writing, and her working hours were almost fixed every day, but now it is different. Every day is very late, it is a holiday, and most of the time He should also stay in the cabinet. After all, he has the lowest qualifications, and he has to do many things that others don't do.In this way, the time for Li Cheng to meet Jia Qiang has been greatly reduced. Even if he enters the palace, he can't go to the cabinet!However, even so, he could not complain in front of Jia Qiang. After all, it was related to Jia Qiang's future. With Jia Qiang's promotion speed, it is estimated that after thirty, he could really gain a firm foothold in the cabinet.

Yuan Zixuan felt relieved a lot. Jia Qiang is so busy now that she has less time to meet Li Cheng. It seems that Li Cheng is also from everyone. It seems that he is not a long-term person. After a long time, the relationship will fade Well, it's not that much trouble.Thinking of this, Yuan Zixuan stayed at home with peace of mind, raising two children, and doing needlework. Although ordinary clothes can be made by needleworkers, some small accessories such as purses and tassels must be prepared by himself. If you have time, it is best to make another robe for Jia Qiang. The two children are growing fast, and the close-fitting clothes should be made by myself and the maid around me, so as not to let the servants do it carelessly, and the child will not feel comfortable wearing it. .

On that day, Jia Qiang was working in front of the imperial court, and news came from the harem that Concubine Xiande gave birth to a son.
