Chapter 255 Fun

Author: My little carp

On the tenth day of the first lunar month of the new year, the Supreme Emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum. Emperor Qing lay in the coffin and cried, and all the officials praised him: "The most filial piety and benevolence."

In previous generations, those who destroyed the country were called strong vassals, foreign invaders, powerful ministers, foreign power, female advocates, eunuchs, treacherous ministers, and sycophants. Today, none of them are similar - the Supreme Emperor himself commented.

There is also an edict from the Supreme Emperor: "Our kingdom is rich in products and has everything. There is no need for foreign goods... I understand the difficulties of Western countries, so I allow foreign banks to be opened in Macao to meet the needs of the foreigners...

The legal system of the Celestial Empire was very strict, and every piece of land was part of the territory. There was no room for division. It was impossible for the British to ask for land rewards.

...Your king should only be considerate of my will, be generous in giving money, be sincere, and always be respectful, so as to preserve your country and share the blessings of peace]

After that, Emperor Qing took over all the power, but did not do much.

The King of Beijing and others slowly relaxed their minds, but no longer dared to have any wrong thoughts. Drinking and having fun, drunken life and death, can be considered happy.

On this day, Wang Xifeng came to Lin's Mansion early in the morning and asked Lin Daiyu to come to the mansion for dinner. The old lady invited her.

The backyard of Jia Mansion.

Jia Mu sat alone on the couch in front of her, with four empty chairs on both sides. Xifeng quickly pulled Daiyu to sit on the first chair on the right.

Daiyu was very reluctant.

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Your aunt and others are not here, and you are a member of the family. My direct granddaughter, you should sit here."

Dai Yufang had no choice but to sit down. She still remembered that her mother sat in the first chair on the left when she came here for the first time. At that time, her grandmother said that they were guests.

Things in this world are really interesting.

Wang Xifeng sat next to her to take care of her, and from time to time she helped massage and feed the little yellow cat with skillful techniques and a correct attitude.

The maids standing next to the table were busy whisking dust, washing bowls, and handkerchiefs, and stood on both sides of the table. Although there were many maids and daughters-in-law waiting outside, they did not even cough.

After the meal was finished in silence, maids at each seat brought tea on small tea trays and a basin.

Daiyu rolled the tea leaves lightly with her pink tongue, rolled them slightly, and rinsed her mouth. A maid held a small basin, and the girl took Lele to wash her hands and claws together.

Jia Mu sat on the couch with a look of envy.

She once saw her granddaughter personally serving the little yellow cat, and she didn't take it seriously. She even felt that she didn't understand etiquette.

Now I suddenly realized that the Lin family was playing a big game of chess.

If there is a royal cat in any family, he can enter the palace at will to perform services. Not to mention asking his own daughter to serve him wholeheartedly, or to marry him as his wife, I am afraid no matter which family is willing.

After waiting for a while, she saw the royal cat sleeping sweetly in the girl's arms. Mother Jia knew that the cat was untouchable when sleeping, so she began to say: "Daiyu, I heard that you can mobilize the relationship between Jin Wuwei.

Tell me, did this Feng girl’s uncle Wang Ziteng really die of illness?”

Lin Daiyu raised her head and glanced at her grandmother. Her eyes were full of expectation and deep, she needed to know the truth.

"Grandma, it doesn't matter whether she died of illness or not." The girl said calmly.

Wang Xifeng's lips moved, but in the end she did not curse. The sister in front of her was now the only hope for the four major families.

The capital has been too quiet these days, even eerily quiet.

Not to mention that Jia Zheng couldn't find chess friends from wealthy families to play chess with. Even Baoyu went to Goulan to listen to music, but he couldn't see the familiar friends he once knew. Even Xue Pan was banned.

The key is they don't know anything.

Moreover, in the past few days, Jinwu Guards also arrested several maids and servants in the mansion, and they do not know whether they are alive or dead.

What exactly happened here?

"Sister Lin, do you think it's possible that one of us made some enemies, so someone assassinated my uncle?" Wang Xifeng asked anxiously.

Their hopes were shattered, they wanted someone to rely on, and even if they died, they had to die knowingly.

Lin Daiyu shook her head: "I don't know, it's probably not my fault. I've always been upright. Like my family, Lele, I'm full of righteousness and have no enemies."

Wang Xifeng:???

Jia Mu:.

You don’t have any enemies? You don’t have any living enemies.

After a moment of silence, seeing that nothing could be asked, Jia Mu said, "Daiyu, I heard that you went to the palace to see Yuan Chun last time. Is she feeling better?"

Lin Daiyu then smiled and said: "It's already healed, and Sister Yuanchun is still pregnant with the dragon son, and the mother and son are safe. However, grandma, without the permission of the Supreme Emperor before, can you come to the palace to visit?"

Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng looked at each other helplessly.

A smile appeared on Wang Xifeng's face: "Sister Lin, you don't know. If we want to enter the palace, we have to hand in the sign in advance and then queue up.

If you don't pay, you can wait until next year. But if you pay, it will be more and more.

The last time was last year, we handed over a thousand taels before we met, and we just said a few words across the screen."

The meaning is obvious. The once noble and powerful Jia family has no money, and they can't even spare a few thousand taels of silver.

Just for the Grand View Garden, which was used to host the Lunar New Year Party to visit relatives, daily maintenance and repairs now cost dozens of taels of silver. Jia Mu is even planning to abandon several courtyards.

Lin Daiyu suddenly realized that the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. Most people like to use the little power in their hands to embarrass others to satisfy their humble vanity.

This is human nature.

"Next time grandma wants to see Sister Yuanchun, tell me in advance and I will take you there." Lin Daiyu said obediently.

Jia Mu was then satisfied, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

The Jia family finally has access to the upper class circles again. As long as it can be maintained, there is still hope.

People living at the bottom never understand that circles determine their destiny.

"Old lady, old lady, it's a great joy. Mr. Jia Lan of Ningguo Mansion has become a high school scholar!" Lin Zhixiao, the housekeeper, rushed in and said.

Different from the last time I saw him, he is now wearing coarse clothes.

Upon hearing the news, Jia Mu was immediately overjoyed: "Reward! Everyone in the house will be rewarded with a hundred cents!"

The smile on Lin Zhixiao's face suddenly stopped.

"yes!"

When the housekeeper left, Jia Mu said repeatedly: "Okay! Okay."

Jia Lan was originally a third-class general, but now that he is a scholar, he has both civil and military skills. And I heard that not only the nine borders, but also other places are full of wars and rebellions.

Only Guangdong and Guangxi were better. The rebels were persuaded by Lin Ruhai and his wife, and they were convinced.

In this way, Jia Lan will definitely be reused. If the Jia family's previous connections help him and make great achievements, it is not known that he will be granted the title of marquis or prime minister.

It turns out that the good days of the Jia family are yet to come!

Then the old lady felt a little pity that her precious grandson Jia Baoyu had not passed the exam. Thinking about it, Baoyu was not very old at all, so she felt relieved.

With his intelligence, he will pass the exam sooner or later, so it won't be a big problem.

Lin Daiyu quickly picked up the tea cup and drank tea, fearing that she could not help but laugh.

In the hearts of many elderly people, as long as they have prejudices, they cannot be erased. In her eyes, Jia Baoyu can be forgiven no matter what he did or did.

…

"Master Jia Lan passed the exam!"

The entire quiet Jia Mansion suddenly became lively, and the servants coming and going were all smiles, and most of them went to Ning Guo Mansion to ask for money.

Although everyone is a servant, they know that if the Jia family is left alone, they will not be much better off.

There are really not many benevolent hosts like the Jia family.

The master is so promising, and these slaves are now happy and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Jia Baoyu sat in the bedroom, looking indifferent.

Jia Lan passed the scholar examination, but he didn't even pass the boy student exam. It's so sad. Why can't everyone fail together?

After being depressed for a while, Jia Baoyu slowly sat down at the desk, picked up the book, and began to recite.

He also has to study hard and study hard, and finally, like Jia Lan, he uses his grades to prove that he is not the waste that Sister Lin calls him!

Half a quarter of an hour later, Jia Baoyu's eyes gradually straightened, and he began to recall the scene of eating the rouge from the maid's mouth, feeling in awe.

"Snapped!"

After a hard slap on his face, Jia Baoyu suddenly began to hate himself.

Why? Why is quitting so difficult?

He feels that he is simply a waste. Every time, it is the first day of rebooting, the second day of rebooting, the first day of rebooting...

But he couldn't help it, and sometimes he even touched it without realizing it, as if at that moment, his body no longer belonged to him.

No, he had to find someone who had experienced it to ask what the situation was, otherwise he felt that not only did he fail the exam this time, but it might be more difficult in the future.

"Second Master, snacks have been brought to you, do you want anything else?" Maid Caiyun came in and asked with concern.

"Well, let's leave it there. By the way, do you know where my father is now? I have something to do with him." Jia Baoyu asked casually.

He knew that these maids had nothing to do on weekdays and just liked to chat and find out news. Some of them were clever and could even know all the news about everything happening in the house.
