Chapter 114 In Rongqing Hall

Chapter 114 In Rongqing Hall

With the imperial decree and the "Cijue Biao" published in the mansion, this kind of material evaluation will spread rapidly, and the entire Chen Han Shilin public opinion will be ignited, and it will be talked about with great interest.

In the real world, no one knows you!

However, in the wicker alley on Ningrong Street, Jia Heng is teaching his maidservants Yan'er and Bi'er to practice martial arts, and he will go to Cai Quan's house later.

Earlier, the Jingying sent an errand to Cai Quan, and he asked Cai Quan to collect some confessions about Cuihua Mountain intelligence from the Jingzhao Yamen interrogation, and the soldiers under his command.

"Bi'er, this boxing skill needs to be accumulated before being punched out, which is different from the foreign boxing techniques you have learned." Jia Heng corrected the posture of the servant girl Bi'er while talking.

These two sisters, the elder sister Yan'er is clumsy and quiet, and Bi'er is thoughtful and shrewd, a bit like the female versions of Guo Jing and Yang Kang.

Of course, it cannot be simply compared.

Under the eaves of the corridor, Qingwen looked at Jia Heng who was correcting the two sisters' boxing posture from a distance, and there was an inexplicable expression on Guazi's face.

Qingwen turned back to the room, took a cup of tea, twisted the waist of the water snake, and said softly: "Young master, I have been practicing for a while, let me have a bowl of tea."

Jia Heng smiled, took the tea, and said, "How is your writing?"

Qingwen said softly: "The newly recognized ones can't write well."

Last night, the young master taught her to recognize the characters of the thousand-character script, and now she can recognize about fifty or sixty characters.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "No rush, take your time."

As he spoke, he took a sip of the tea.

"My lord, do I want to learn martial arts?" Qingwen asked suddenly.

Jia Heng said: "You don't need to, you are different from Bi'er and Yan'er, they have a lot of skills since they were young, you have to start from the beginning, not to mention the hard work, it is hard to achieve."

"By the way, grandma said that I want to cut clothes for you. I saw the silk silk from the palace yesterday. It has exquisite patterns and looks pretty good." Qingwen found a stool and sat beside Jia Heng, smiling. Yi Yingying said.

The little girl was at the age of Aimei, compared to some bright jewels, Qingwen liked the silk rewards from the palace very much.

During dinner last night, the palace envoy brought Su Jin, but Qingwen didn't even care about eating, so she went to see the good cloth sent by the palace.

The bright smile on the girl Guazi's face was reflected in Jia Hengqing's eyes, and the warm colors gradually faded in circles in the cold eyes, with a little joy in his heart, he said with a smile: "I think there are all kinds of su brocade, you guys They also cut out some clothes for each of them, since it's autumn, it's time to buy some autumn clothes."

After all, it is a tribute item. Although there are twenty bolts of five-color silk and silk, the quantity does not seem to be much. If it is sold, it cannot be sold for hundreds of taels, but it is a good cloth that cannot be found in the market.

"The silk and silk given by the emperor originally meant to show his affection. That day I went straight to the saint in a green shirt, which seemed a bit more simple." Jia Heng put down the teacup at this time, thinking.

In fact, buying people's hearts does not necessarily mean rewards, and some ministers may not lack that little thing.

Only by rewarding food and clothing frequently can we win more people's hearts.

This is the same as in normal interpersonal communication. Small gifts are numerous and dense, instead of being unexpected. If you give a big gift to others, you must ask for something at that time, and people will be suspicious and watch with vigilance.

Qingwen Guazi paused, and said, "My lord, why don't I sew you an autumn dress."

Jia Heng said: "Well, do you usually have time?"

I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm a little tempted. Although she is suspected of exploiting child labor, Qingwen's female celebrity is indeed very outstanding.

Seeing the question from the quiet and solemn young man in the past, especially when she caught a trace of "heartbeat" between the hesitation, Qingwen's eyes were full of smiles, and she said softly: "It doesn't take much effort, I put it on." The skirts and skirts are all mended by myself."

Hearing this, Jia Heng looked at the girl's face as bright as a spring flower, and had a deeper understanding of the seven words "flirtatious and dexterous to attract people's resentment".

Romantic and dexterous, good at female celebrities, no one is born with these things.

Presumably, the girl was kidnapped and sold here and there, and even her clothes had to be repaired by herself, which is why she has such ingenious and commendable craftsmanship.

Yong Qingwen's disease makes up for the sparrow Jinqiu.

Where does courage come from?

It is for this reason that those who are still working hard to live in the suffering childhood of being displaced have such an indignant and unyielding spirit.

This is Qingwen.

He tried to read and write before, and he changed his mind by knowing the rites and righteousness, right or wrong, if the background of the character is erased, is it still Qingwen?

However, reading is not a bad thing after all. As for other petty tempers, girls are cute and innocent, they are all carved out of a virtuous mold, and they are not interesting.

"Just choke, a man stands between heaven and earth, how can he be intolerant?" Jia Heng suddenly smiled lightly, feeling that he had figured out something, and also had a sense of urgency.

Jia Heng said: "If you have time, you can do me a whole body."

Sensing Jia Heng's warm and even "kind" eyes, Qingwen froze in place for a moment, her cheeks burning hot.

The young master had this kind of gaze again, and he was looking at others that day...

But hearing Jia Heng's words, Qingwen felt a little pleased, and said with a smile: "Then wait for three to five days, sir, and I will be able to sew it out."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Don't work too hard, sew things at night, and be careful to burn your eyes."

The two were talking, and the time passed quickly.

Rongguo Mansion, Backyard

In Rongqing hall, maids and mothers-in-law stood with their hands down, serving Jia's mother for dinner.

At a round table, Jia's mother washed her hands in a golden basin under the service of Yuanyang and other maids. Li Wan and Sister Feng waited on her, accompanied by Baoyu, Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun.

It turned out that there was a big commotion in the Ningguo ancestral hall yesterday, and it was about expelling the clan, passing the decree, and sealing up the treasury. The twists and turns made Jia's mother exhausted. She didn't have much appetite this morning and only ate for a while A bowl of porridge made with green rice.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were surprised when they asked Jia Mu about her diet. At about noon, Sister Feng persuaded her a few words, and then Huaan Baoyu, Daiyu, Tanchun, Xichun and other sisters came to accompany them.

"Old ancestors, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself." Today, Sister Feng is wearing a red plum-colored long dress and a hairpin on her head. On her bright and delicate face, there is a thin layer of powder and daisy, which is full of charm.

Baoyu also persuaded from the side: "Old ancestor, the matter in the East Mansion should be handled by the master, wife, elder master and eldest wife. The ancestor should not go there at the beginning."

Daiyu is wearing a green lotus-colored skirt, with a timid figure, under her smoky eyebrows, and her bright eyes full of autumn water, she is also somewhat worried, "Why is grandma so angry that she doesn't eat tea and rice? ..."

"Don't mention him, if you mention him, I'll get a headache." Mother Jia waved her hand, looked at Daiyu kindly, smiled wryly and said, "That's a monkey grandson, he's going to make a fuss, and the East Mansion is about to turn him over." Chaotianer."

Tanchun stretched out his slender jade hand, picked up the teacup, pressed his pink lips lightly, sucked the tea soup into his lips and teeth, put down the teacup, Yingxiu and Xiuli's eyebrows showed a hint of thought, and the clear sound like a mountain spring dingdong sounded : "I heard from Lian's second brother that his family status has been removed?"

Thinking of this, Tanchun sighed softly.

That Uncle Heng, who seemed to be an established and unyielding person, has now been expelled from his clan.

Pity……

Sister Feng Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said: "Now that he has come to the palace, for some reason, he has fallen into the eyes of the emperor, and he should inherit the title of Dongfu."

When Tanchun heard this, he was startled.

Daiyu also looked at Sister Feng curiously with her bright autumn eyes under the black eyebrows of Chunshan.

It's no wonder that Tanchun and Daiyu didn't know that yesterday's scene was a big one, but no one came back to the mansion to describe the specific details vividly and vividly with Daiyu and Tanchun who were in the deep boudoir, and there were twists and turns.

Is this not which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?

The sisters were reading and writing in the house, so they could only faintly hear a few words.

Seeing that the sisters were curious, Li Wan glanced at Mother Jia, thought for a while, and then briefly told what happened, then sighed quietly, and said, "Now that Mr. Heng said he was going to bid farewell to the Lord, he doesn't know where the matter is going. Let's take a step."

Jia Mu listened to her, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "There is no room for him to resign. I have lived a long time, and I haven't seen the imperial decree withdrawn yet."

Sister Feng also sneered and said: "Even the treasury of the East Mansion has been sealed up, and you still resign from the title? This is said in the play, it is to retreat as an advance, and to express your gratitude."

Fortunately, she knew what was going on in Jia Heng's heart, so she snatched back two courtyards from him and gave them to Mrs. You and Brother Rong to live in.

Li Wan sighed lightly and didn't say much.

Just when Baoyu, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Yingchun had complicated complexions, they were thinking about the way.

Suddenly, outside Lin Zhixiao's house, he said loudly, "Old lady, the master is back."

In Rongqing Hall, everyone who was talking was shocked.
