serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 118 The Jia Family's Relatives
After taking a course of medicine from the imperial hospital, Jia Hu's condition has been stabilized, and doctor Wang came to check his pulse early in the morning, and said that he will be fine if he breathes slowly.

At this time, Jia Hu was sitting in front of the desk, holding a letter in his hand, with a smile on his face.

King Yizhong sent another letter, without any polite words, and said two things, both related to King Beijing.

Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong was pretending to be sick, secretly plotting shady things.

What's more, the King of Yizhong County discovered that the Beijing Palace had sold a lot of property in the past half a year. He sent someone to inquire secretly. + two silver.

After reading the letter, Jia Hu closed it gently, concentrating on it.

Since the unexplained death of the leader of the Cao Gang, the situation in the Cao Gang has become even more chaotic. Taking advantage of the fact that the Cao Gang has no leader, the two major outsiders, the Salt Gang and the White Lotus Sect, annexed all the Cao Gang's halls in Huai'an Prefecture. All the senior officials of the Cao Gang were wiped out.

Shui Rong finally paid the price for his greed back then.

It looked like he was preparing to retreat.

Thinking of Princess Beijing, who was getting more and more ill, Jia Hu shook his head and sighed, the second girl of the Zhen family must have discovered something.

Another poor man!
Now that the Mongols have been hit hard by the Great Zhou, they will not be able to recover in three or two years.As for the Manchus, they will definitely not conflict with Dazhou for a while.

Without external pressure, as long as the emperor is not an idiot, the 10,000+ elite gathered in Gyeonggi is enough to suppress everything.

What's more, there are the Beijing Camp and the Forbidden Army.

I don't know how water soluble will break the situation.

With a "bang", a "two kick" roared into the air and made another sound.

"Haha, what are you running for!" Xiangyun's voice came again.

Jia Hu laughed and shook her head again and again, this girl is a tomboy, she has a bright and forthright personality, treats people with sincerity, and is upright and generous, but there is one bad thing, she is outspoken and often says some inappropriate things.

For this reason, Mother Jia specially arranged for her two teaching nuns, but it was still useless.

The day before yesterday, it made Lin Daiyu angry.

Since I put the fur coat on Lin Daiyu that day, she will wear it even when it snows. When I went back from here the day before yesterday, I hung the fur coat on the outer hanger. When Xiangyun saw it, she put it on. I went out and took a group of little girls to the back garden to fight the snowman.

The leather jacket and cloak were big and long, so Xiangyun took a sweat towel and tied it around his waist. One of them didn't pay attention, and fell into the ditch, getting muddy all over his body.

But Daiyu's heart was broken, and she rarely lost her temper with Xiangyun.

Fortunately, neither of them is stingy, and they reconciled as before without a meal, but they suffered from their fur coat and cloak.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, Jia Hu thought of Baoyu's godmother, Ma Daopo.

A greedy, vicious, six impure monk.

Yesterday, this Ma Daopo came to Rongguo Mansion to pay her respects. When she heard that she was still ill, she made nonsense, saying that it was because she was plotted against by the Mongols and Manchus, and they couldn't take advantage of the battlefield. Just act as a nightmare to suppress yourself.

Jia's mother was most afraid of this kind of thing. Hearing what she said, she immediately panicked. Under Ma Daopo's coaxing, Jia's mother enshrined sea lanterns in her temple. You need to add 48 catties of oil and a catty of light grass.

Lin Daiyu rushed over when she heard about this matter, and asked her if there were other ways to resolve it.

Maybe it was because she lied too much, Ma Daopo was a little guilty, and she didn't dare to lie again, but she gave another idea, saying that firecrackers are the nemesis of these ghosts and ghosts, and setting off firecrackers can keep you safe and auspicious.

No, at the order of Mother Jia, the servants in charge of the two governments came out together, and within half an hour they bought all the fireworks and firecrackers in the East and West cities.

Starting from Shenshi, fireworks and firecrackers began to be set off on Ningrong Street, especially in Zishi, the sky of the entire western city was brightly lit, and the sky was filled with colorful and scattered fireworks.

All the people in the city watched a wonderful fireworks show.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Jia Hu's mouth, this Ma Daopo really didn't know how to live or die, she dared to go out of her way to get food, cheated money and cheated herself!
He has already ordered people to collect Ma Daopo's criminal evidence, not only asking her to spit out what she swallowed, but also sending her to repent in front of Lord Yama.

Jia Hu's eyes slowly moved to Hu Po.

Amber is sitting on the edge of the kang embroidering flowers.

Jia Hu smiled: "Amber."

Amber raised her head: "Second Master is thirsty?" She quickly put down her needle and thread, got up and went to the outside to bring a copper pot, and poured tea.

Jia Hu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then asked with a smile, "Why don't you go play with them?"

Amber smiled: "I'm here to serve the second master."

Jia Hu smiled: "You, it's always like this."

Amber lowered her eyes without saying a word.

Jia Hu put down the tea bowl and said, "Go and get the stack of invitations from the outer room."

"Yes."

Amber turned and walked out, then came in with a stack of greeting cards and put them on the desk.

Jia Hu took the top invitation card, opened it for a second look, and threw it aside casually, then picked up another invitation card, glanced at the name on the cover, it was Bao Linghou Shi Nai's.

For Jia Mu's nephew, Jia Hu is really speechless, no wonder the original book will be ransacked.

Shi Nai was fascinated by power and dazzled his mind. He spent a lot of money running around looking for ways for the errand of commanding the yamen of the infantry.

What made Jia Hu speechless the most was that he never thought of going to the emperor to show his loyalty.

Mother Jia didn't even see him, let alone see him. She threw away this invitation card, picked up another invitation card, and also glanced at the name on the cover.

Jia Hu's eyes flashed, Jiao Dazao sent me the detailed information on Mei Changwen, a person who pretended to be noble, yes, he was also ungrateful.

Clinging to Jia's family failed, so he turned around and went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

Seeing that he was back now, he had the cheek to send a greeting card. He had never seen such a shameless person.

Perhaps only Jia Yucun can compete with it.

This old boy has climbed up to Wang Hetang now, presumably he has already registered with the emperor.

These people who are closely related to Jia's family are more and more strange than each other.

Thinking of this, Jia Hu unfolded the greeting card and looked at it carefully, and smiled. He didn't have time to see him, so he threw it away.

I flipped through seven greeting cards in a row until I found the greeting card of Shandong General Military Mansion. After thinking about it, I put it on the other side.

I looked through the rest of the greeting cards, and picked out the greeting cards of Cheng Shiyao, Li Mao, and the new governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Li Mingbo, and handed them to Amber along with the ones from the Shandong General Military Mansion: "Let Lin San arrange for them to come here, and the future Two days."

Amber: "Yes." She took the card and walked out.

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu's voice came from outside: "What are you doing?"

"Second Master is resting right now. Go in quickly, girl." Amber's voice came again.

As soon as the words were finished, the door curtain was raised, Lin Daiyu walked in, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Tsk, a bunch of prodigal women have gone out with tens of thousands of taels of silver in the blink of an eye, but they just want to feel at ease.

"You bothered."

"How did I hear someone gossip behind their backs?"

"Who chews the tongue? I was worried that you would be deceived!"

"Humph!"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes: "Anyway, the family is peaceful. It's just a little money, it's worth it."

Hiss!
Jia Hu took a breath, a group of dramatists.

Lin Daiyu sat down on the edge of the kang, "Tomorrow will be the twelfth lunar month. I discussed it with my sister-in-law and drew up a gift list." Then she called out, "Zicuckoo."

Zijuan walked in, holding a red gift list in his hand.

Jia Hu took it and looked at it, was slightly taken aback, then pointed at the row in the middle and asked, "Why is there still the Xue family?"

"Although Xue's family lives in our house, they are relatives after all. Besides, Sister Bao's brother even blocked Baoyu's knife."

"."

All right, Jia Hu understood what she meant.

Lin Daiyu went on to say: "Ming'er and sister-in-law Xifuzhu will discuss the matter of treating guests to New Year's wine in the next year, so it will save time."

Jia Hu nodded.

"My sister-in-law also said that there are so many happy events this year, so the New Year's gift can't follow the usual practice. A few days ago, 2000 two hundred taels of silver and 220 taels of gold were sent out. Just now there are more silver coins. The treasury took 5000 taels of silver. The gold needs to be opened in the inner treasury, let me ask what you mean."

Jia Hu took a blank piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to write, saying: "Let the soldiers open the internal treasury to take 500 taels of gold, and we will keep two hundred of the full taels of gold poured out, and the rest Count it on the gift list and send it to the palace. 660 for Daming Palace, 180 for Compassion Ning Palace, 160 for Kunning Palace, and [-] for Fengzao Palace.”

After finishing writing, Jia Hu paused, and said to Lin Daiyu, "I will personally deliver the gifts from the three families in the back porch."

"That can't be done!" Lin Daiyu became anxious when she heard that, "It's freezing outside, and with such a heavy snowstorm, it will be terrible to catch the cold wind."

Jia Hu waved his hand, "They joined the army because of me, and now they died in battle outside the pass. Whether it's public or private, I have to go to the door in person."

There was silence.

Jia Hu: "Wear thicker."

While speaking, Xiangyun and the others outside set off a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, such as starry sky, nine dragons entering the clouds, one thunder, ten rings flying in the sky, etc.
