Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 133
Jia Ying originally wanted to mention the matter between him and Daiyu to Lin Ruhai, but in the end he didn't say anything. The ancients were very reserved about the marriage contract between the two families. Any girl who goes to a house knows to ask a matchmaker to come and make peace.

Not to mention an honorable family like the Jia Mansion, the Lin family is also a fourth-generation prince, so there is no reason for the juniors who are the parties to come directly to the door. .If the matter between him and Daiyu is to be settled, three media and six hires are absolutely indispensable.

It's not that Jia Ying is in a hurry, it's just that he has no elders above him, and when it comes to major marriage matters, he can only take care of himself.Moreover, the Lin family has already stated their position on this matter, and they should give a response from their own side, and they can't delay for too long.

Although both Lin Ruhai and Jia's mother wanted to promise Daiyu to him, one of them was his father and the other was his grandmother. To some extent, they were both on the woman's side. The marriage contract should not be brought up by the woman.But on Jia Ying's side, he is from the East Mansion, and there is a elder brother and sister-in-law above him, but there is still a generation gap between the two of them and Lin Ruhai. There is still some discord between him and Jia Zhen, and he doesn't want to make it difficult for Youshi to be caught in the middle.

If it was someone else, he could ask Jia Zheng to come forward, but Daiyu is his niece, so it is not very suitable.

Jia Ying was also worried for a while, that's why she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"If it doesn't work, then I can only try to invite Jia Jing, but I don't know if this old man will give me this face? If not, is it possible to invite grandpa from southern Xinjiang?"

It's so hard to be married!Jia Ying felt a little dizzy.

At noon, Jia Ying stayed with Lin Ruhai to have lunch together, and chatted for a while, then said goodbye to Lin Ruhai, counted the time, and took Xi'er to Qingfang Fu's Mansion.

"You boy, you have a great prestige in Huguang! You have captured more than half of the local officials in southern Hunan, and you are about to kill all the military officers in the guard. Let me see, we are ruthlessly monitoring Mr. Censor. What a style!"

As soon as they met, Fu Donglai said something out of nowhere.

When Jia Ying heard this, she smiled awkwardly. The disturbance she caused in Huguang was indeed not small, but he can't be blamed for it!

At that moment, he smiled and said: "Mr. Donglai, you can't blame me for this matter. Although you are in the capital, you know the situation in Huguang better than anyone else. Can you do it without killing someone? The business of stalls is left to the juniors. If they don’t kill people, how can those Huguang officials look down on me, a fledgling young man? The worst thing for the juniors is to lose face, but if they miss the important affairs of the court, it will be a big trouble Woolen cloth."

Fu Donglai snorted softly, and cursed with a smile: "You kid, don't put on a playful smile. Do you know how many documents there are to impeach you in the imperial court? If the old man and Baichuan hadn't exhausted their tongues, I'm afraid they would be in prison with you now." We meet!"

Jia Ying really didn't care much about the affairs of the imperial court, but she could imagine what kind of scene it would be with her eyes closed, but she said with a smile: "The younger generation is fighting for the imperial court in front, so you know that Donglai The Lord and Lord Baichuan will not stand still."

Fu Donglai smiled, but asked again: "Okay, I don't need to say these nice things, the old man can be considered to have found out, wherever you go, there will be a bloody storm. After all, I just returned to Beijing today. Don't stay in the gentle township of the mansion anymore, what do you come to this old man for?"

"What gentle township?" Jia Ying said with a pure face, "I just came back to the capital, and I came to your old mansion to pay my respects."

"Hmph, you dare to say that the old man asked you that the imperial court sent you to Huguang to do an errand, but you are so cool. It is very chic to take three women all the way to the south! How about Qi Benzhong's daughter? Already?" Fu Donglai reprimanded Jia Ying for a few words, and asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Jia Ying rolled her eyes slightly, looked at Fu Donglai and said, "It's all right, I've returned to Beijing. Mr. Donglai, I heard."

Fu Donglai suddenly interrupted: "That's good. After all, after being a loyal minister, Yang Huang is the mastermind behind the murder of Qi Benzhong. From now on, don't take her to run around."

Jia Ying heard that Fu Donglai seemed to have other intentions in what he said, seeing that he didn't let her continue talking, if she realized something in her heart, she didn't mention it again.

But I heard Fu Donglai say: "The old man heard Ruhai mention it, and it seems that he wants to marry your family again? Young people, it's better not to be careless."

After hearing this, Jia Ying was at a loss again, which one is the ape?Which is the horse again?You always make it clear!

"Tell me, why are you looking for this old man?"

Jia Ying suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said: "After returning to Beijing today, I should have handed in the errand of the censor to His Majesty as usual, but His Majesty didn't summon the boy, and I didn't know it for a while, so I thought about asking Donglai Gong for advice." After a while, should the boy go back to the Hanlin Academy, or..."

The editor of the Imperial Academy is his official position, and the identity of the supervisory censor is a special mission. Before the assignment is handed over, it means that the matter assigned by the emperor is not over yet. It seems inappropriate to return to the Imperial Academy at this moment .

But I heard Fu Donglai say: "Since Your Majesty has not seen you, nor submitted the matter of dismissing the supervisory censor, it seems that he has other intentions. Just wait patiently. Why are you anxious?"

Naturally, Jia Ying couldn't directly state his purpose. After all, with his seniority, he was not qualified to know about some things, so he could only ask from the side: "Mr. Donglai, it's not that you are impatient, but the soldiers in Huguang who participated in the suppression of the rebellion You have to give an explanation, especially for the aftermath, the Huguang Feudal Secretary can't afford so much money, and now he has to point those people to deal with the white bandits, if they don't handle it well, chaos will inevitably arise."

Fu Donglai nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, but the court will not be able to come up with a plan to provide compensation for the aftermath until the matter of King Yang Huang of Chu is finalized. The King of Chu is a clan vassal King, his matter still needs His Majesty's sanction, the old man has mentioned this matter with His Majesty, but His Majesty does not seem to have the intention of personally interrogating Yang Huang..."

"Furthermore, the matter of Huguang still involves some people in the court, and there will be no results so soon. Wait a few more days, maybe His Majesty has other intentions."

After hearing this, Jia Ying's face was calm, but he was relieved.

Yang Huang told him a lot of secret things, and he couldn't guarantee that Yang Huang would not tell this matter after meeting Jiade.After all, even the emperor and prince dared to plot against the two generations of King Chu and his son.

But he couldn't let Yang Huang die outside the capital...

But right now, it will take some time. As long as Jiade will not interrogate Yang Huang in person immediately, Jia Ying will be relieved.

After Fu Donglai was silent for a while, he said again: "You just returned to the capital today, and I still need to remind you a few words if you have something to say."

Seeing Fu Donglai's solemn face, Jia Ying was surprised, but at the same time replied seriously: "Boy, I'm all ears."

But Fu Donglai looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said with a bit of coldness in his voice: "Recently, the capital is not peaceful, and there are always some people who, for their own benefit, jump out when the court can't take care of it." Making waves, they think they can hide seamlessly by hiding behind their backs and manipulating secretly, ha ha. As far as I know, several turmoil in the capital has involved several honorable families. Last time, because of the defeat of the Western Army, the imperial court had no intention of punishing them , this time, neither His Majesty nor this old man will allow them to gossip unscrupulously again."

Jia Ying didn't know what Fu Donglai meant when he said these things to himself. Could it be that the Jia family was also involved?Probably not!

There is already a noble concubine in the Rong Mansion, and her rise and fall have already been tied to the royal family.As for the Ning Mansion, it was too late for Jia Jingzang, so how could he get involved.

Seeing Jia Ying's puzzled expression, Fu Donglai said again: "I heard that the head of Jishan Academy, who had been appointed as an official for many years, suddenly came to the capital a month ago, and wandered around the home of old friends and acquaintances all day long."

"The head of Jishan Academy?" Where did this come from? A teacher who hides in the countryside, what is he doing in the capital if he doesn't teach well?But Jia Ying had never heard of this person.

"This person is Xuan Longnian, a second-class Jinshi in Bingchen Division." Fu Donglai's voice sounded again.

Jia Ying's heart tightened, and then he relaxed again.

Before leaving Beijing, he had met Jia Jing, that old man was not a fool.

"The boy understands what Donglaigong wants." Jia Ying got up, clasped his fists at Fu Donglai, and said in his mouth, "Thank you, Donglaigong, for your suggestion! It's just that I want to assure Donglaigong that even though my Jia family is The Xungui lineage is a family that abides by its duties, and will definitely not participate in this matter."

After hearing this, Fu Donglai just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Jia Ying sat for a while, then got up to bid farewell to Fu Donglai, and left Fu's mansion.

The courtyard walls in Ningrong Back Street have been erected for some years. There were only a few moss-stained places that lost their former colors, or the roots were full of cracks. Since the family-speaking villa was to be built, these courtyard walls must naturally be built. Take it down and replace it with a new wall.

More than a month after Jia Ying left Beijing, the two governments used a lot of manpower. At this time, most of the courtyard walls in the back street have been built, and only a few places left for small doors are temporarily blocked by wooden boards. The place where the river's running water flows is also open.

When Jia Ying left Fu's mansion, a crescent moon was already hanging high, and the pedestrians on the road had already returned home.Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't go to the two mansions anymore, but rushed back directly to the old house in the back street.

At this moment, Xi'er and Xi'er were riding a horse and turned to the back street. Under the hazy moonlight, they vaguely saw the gap in the front courtyard wall. There seemed to be a figure flickering.

Jia Ying didn't pay much attention to it at first, as these places with gaps were guarded by servants from the mansion, besides, the households living on the front and back streets of Ningrong were not branch branches from the mansion. Even those who depend on the two prefectures to live, naturally don't have to worry about whoever loses his mind and dares to climb the wall and turn over the courtyard.

Boom!

There was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground and shattering. Jia Ying heard the heartbeat from a distance, and led Xi'er to ride towards the gap in the courtyard wall.

It was only when we reached the entrance of the courtyard wall that we discovered that one of the wooden boards used to cover the gap had been removed.After all, there are craftsmen going in and out to work during the day, it is impossible to go through the main entrance, they can only enter and exit through these gaps, and even some wood used to build the garden is transported in from these places, so the wooden boards that are blocked are not nailed. Very easy to disassemble.

On the other side, Xi'er had already dismounted and went in through the gap to check the situation. When she came out again, she was holding a piece of cloisonné painted quartz enamel fragments and a jade-colored glass hydrangea lamp, and said to Jia Ying: "Second Master , There are many behind the wall, people are gone!"

Jia Ying's eyes became colder. He had heard that the servants of Jia's mansion were more expensive than the master. A simple meal in the kitchen could cost seven or eight taels of silver. The Lai family's garden was almost as exquisite as Huifang Garden.It's just that since he entered the mansion, he has had little contact with these servants on weekdays, and he is not a housekeeper, so naturally he has never really understood them.

He really bumped into him today, it turned out that he made such a windfall!

It's so late, there can't be craftsmen hired from outside in the garden, it can only be guarded by the people in the house, but I didn't expect to meet myself returning home, I was bumped into it, and in panic, I smashed it into pieces. After picking up the enamel, it was too late to pack the others, so he fled early.

"Xi'er, go to the front yard on horseback, call me Lai Da, Lai Sheng, and Lin Zhixiao, and ask them to guard the front door and the side doors on both sides, except for the master in the house, None of the servants are allowed to go out!" Jia Ying glanced coldly at the garden, and instructed Xi'er beside her.

"Second Master, do you want to tell Uncle Zhen and Second Master Lian?" Xi'er asked.

Jia Ying thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, you go, tell Lai Da and the others, don't startle the old lady in the mansion!"

Not long after Xi'er left, he saw Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, several housekeepers of Lai Da, and a dozen or so servants rushing over.

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian got off their horses. Lian Er saw Jia Ying from a distance and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing this late at night? Ask Xi'er what's the matter, but he keeps his mouth shut." yes, nothing"

While talking, Jia Lian also saw the disassembled wooden boards, and then glanced at the enamel fragments on the ground, and the jade-colored glazed hydrangea lamp. He also guessed what happened in his heart, and then looked at Jia Zhen again.

"Good slave, who is on duty in the garden today?" Jia Zhen asked the housekeepers behind her with fixed eyes, as if she was in charge of the Ning Mansion.

"Going back to my uncle, there are more than a dozen guards in the garden today, and the chief manager is the first-class deacon Ma Si'er." Lai Da who was on the side replied.

"Give me all the people, and don't miss any of them!" Jia Zhen ordered.

At that moment, Lai Dao ordered a few young men to call everyone over.
