King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 174
Outside the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian hurriedly got off his horse, and then galloped into the mansion.

He ignored everyone along the way, and went straight back to his residence, where he found his wife who was painting flowers.

That's right, Wang Xifeng, who has been "leisure", now stays at home painting and embroidering, and has become a person who also needs to receive a monthly salary.

"Yo... you can sit down, it's really hard to say!"

Seeing Jia Lian coming back, Wang Xifeng immediately put down her pen, raised her head and asked, "How's the news going?"

"Um... I've already found out. Sister Xue's primary election has passed, and now I just need to wait for the re-election by the Shangyi Bureau, and then the empress will kiss me!"

Nodding her head, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Auntie is worried about this matter, she asked us to inquire about the news, now that the primary election is over...she can finally feel at ease!"

Now that Xue Pan is away, Aunt Xue can only rely on her relatives, so she approached Wang Xifeng and asked Jia Lian to help her find out.

After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng got up from the chair and went to Lixiangyuan to deliver the news.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian said: "Although I have passed the primary election, I also specifically inquired... The 50 people who passed the primary election this time are mostly the daughters of noble families in Beijing. Sister Xue doesn't have much advantage!"

"In a noble family, those civil servants don't want to curry favor with the princess?" Wang Xifeng asked curiously.

"They really want to curry favor, but I am honored and honored to be with the country, so there is no chance for them to reach out!"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help sighing: "For a princess to serve as a student, each family has really worked hard!"

Jia Lian replied: "They all want to have a relationship with the Tian family, and only when they become princes will someone talk to them. It's just human nature!"

Wang Xifeng said helplessly: "Oh... I don't care about the other family, I only worry about sister Xue!"

After saying that, she was about to go out, but Jia Lian grabbed her.

"Listen to me..." Jia Lian said with a smile.

After glaring at Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "If you fart, let it go..."

"I happened to meet Brother Lu today, and from him... I got some new news!"

"What's new?"

"Sister Xue and her family saved the Thirteenth Lord's life in Jinling!"

Speaking of this, Jia Lian sighed, "No wonder that idiot Xue was favored by the Thirteenth Master, and even sent him an errand!"

Speaking of Xue Pan, Jia Lian was full of anger. He had gone to Jinling earlier, but he was hurt badly by this guy.

Even after Xue Pan found many girls to apologize to him, Jia Lian, who had a good time, couldn't forgive him.

"If the Thirteenth Master is helping Xue's family affairs, it is still possible to be selected as a servant!"

"It's actually like this!" Wang Xifeng was also surprised.

Although Jia's family married Yuan Chun and entered the royal family, they didn't get any glory at all, but Wang Xifeng didn't expect Xue's family to have such good luck.

"It seems that sister Xue will not be easy in the future, I have to establish a good relationship with her!" Wang Xifeng murmured in a low voice.

After saying that, Wang Xifeng didn't delay, and rushed to Lixiangyuan with a few maids.

"Is Auntie here?"

"Go back to the second wife, our wife has gone to see the second wife, only our girl is here!"

Now it is Jia She who is in power, and under the pretext of cleaning up the morale, the name of the mansion has also been changed.

Now in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty is the master Jia Zheng is the second master, and the proper dignity has been restored.

"I have good news, seeing you girls is the same!"

After saying this, Wang Xifeng walked into the room with a smile, and was led to the study by the girl.

After entering, she realized that Baochai's place is really lively, not only Daiyu, but also Yingtanxi Sanchun.

The only thing missing was Jia Baoyu, which made Wang Xifeng a little uncomfortable for a while.

"I said where did you guys go, so you all stayed here... Could it be some fun?"

Walking to the middle of the room, Wang Xifeng said with high spirits: "You all kept it from me...I'm afraid you didn't put my sister-in-law at ease!"

At this time, Daiyu shook her round fan, turned her head and said, "Sister Feng, in the past, we asked you to shirk every time we asked you to combine poems and lines, but now it's our fault that we don't invite you!"

In the past, she didn't want to come here, except that Wang Xifeng really couldn't compose poems, and it was also because she had no time to spare.

Now that all the powers are being taken away, she is fine to be alone, so she thinks about playing around with her sisters.

"Sister Lin, it's my fault, I'll make it up to you!"

After saying that, Wang Xifeng really saluted and bowed, but Lin Daiyu got up and avoided it, which made Yingchun and the three of them burst into laughter.

At this time Baochai came over, supported Wang Xifeng and said, "Sister Lin is just naughty, she has been pestering me these days and asked a lot of weird things, it really makes me so trivial!"

Hearing this, Daiyu went to Yingchun and the others, and said with aggrieved face: "But she drank a few cups of tea too much, so she just said these words to arrange me, let's not come here in the future!"

Helping Wang Xifeng to sit down, Baochai said helplessly, "Sister Feng, listen... what is she talking about!"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Wang Xifeng didn't forget the business, and said to Baochai: "Yesterday, my aunt ordered me to go to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the results of my sister's election!"

"Your second brother went there early in the morning today, and it took a lot of effort to find out, sister, you have already passed the primary election, maybe in just two days...the Ministry of Rites will send someone to inform the re-election time!"

Hearing this news, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, and said very solemnly: "Thank you, Sister Feng, Second Brother Lian, for taking care of me!"

Tanchun was the first to stand up and congratulate; "Congratulations, Sister Bao!"

Yingchun and Xichun also congratulated with each other, but Lin Daiyu was full of resentment, walked to Baochai and said, "Look... you will be going to the palace in a few days, you don't cherish the days of playing with us! "

What she said was half-joking and half-sincere, because she was really reluctant to leave Baochai, after all, the two chatted so well.

Baochai smiled and said, "Don't worry... you can drink whatever tea I want, and I won't drive you away!"

"That's more or less..."

Sitting back on the stool again, Daiyu showed a smile and said, "I just finished Feihua Ling's talk, let's continue..."

Yingying and Yanyan in Lixiangyuan were chatting and laughing, but at this moment a group of several riders appeared outside Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that it was an eunuch, the guards outside the gate of the mansion did not dare to be negligent, and immediately rushed inside to report the situation.

The person who came was Deng An, and today he finally found an opportunity to come to fulfill Zhu Jinghong's entrustment.

After dismounting, Deng An strutted into the Rongguo Mansion, and no one dared to stop him now.

After entering the Chuihua Gate, Deng An stopped because he also needed someone to introduce him.

After a while, Jia She, who was in charge, rushed over and said humbly: "I don't know if my father-in-law is coming, but I am far away to welcome you. Forgive me!"

Although he didn't know Deng An, Jia Amnesty kept his posture very low, even though it could be seen from his clothes that the other party was not of high grade.

When the eunuch left the palace, he was full of confidence wherever he went, only to see Deng An calmly said: "According to Master Thirteen's instructions, come to Jinling Xue's family for questioning!"

Sure enough, the background is not small... Jia She sighed inwardly.

Zhu Jinghong had helped Jia's family more than once, Jia Amnesty was naturally very grateful, and immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Xue's family is in the Lixiangyuan in the mansion, I will take my father-in-law there personally?"

"Then it's time to work!" Deng An rarely smiled.

"Eunuch, please!"

To be honest, Jia Amnesty placed his position too low, but this is also a manifestation of his caution.

The relationship between the eunuchs in the palace is intricate, it is best not to offend any of them, let alone Deng An is still close to Zhu Jinghong.

Leading Deng An to Lixiangyuan, Jia Amnesty said a lot of grateful words along the way, hoping that Deng An could help convey his gratitude to Zhu Jinghong.
