Hearing this, Jia Qiang hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes! As long as your Majesty likes it, we will act in any number!" The little eunuch smiled and nodded and said, "You are quite clever! Okay, your Majesty's words have also been delivered to our house.
Just figure it out for yourself!"
When Jia Qiang heard about it, she quickly smiled and said, "Just wait and see! I will definitely satisfy the empress!" After that, she said something to ask her father-in-law to say a kind word to send the young eunuch away.
The several drama officers over there who were taking off their makeup looked at each other, and they all sighed with emotion. It's not that Jia Qiang is not good, but it's just that her style is a little smaller after all, and she is definitely far behind the Marquis!
No wonder Ling Guan never forgets Jia Jing, even if Jia Qiang is so infatuated, he still turns a deaf ear to it. This is really a comparison of one person to another!
Over there, Jia Qiang ran back excitedly and said to Ling Guan who was taking off her makeup, "Let's just sing those two plays "The Garden" and "Dreams". These two plays are good and you can sing them well. Then you will have fun singing for the empress.
You must be a blockbuster and stand out!"
When the young official heard this, he frowned slightly and said coldly, "I don't sing, I only sing "Meet Me" and "Xiang Shi"."
Hearing this, Jia Qiang said, "Listen, how can these two performances be as good as the two I mentioned? When the time comes, you go up and speak out like this! Will your skills shock everyone, and the day will come when you will become famous and rise to the top?"
The young official didn't even look at Jia Qiang. He just continued to take off his makeup and said leisurely, "I don't ask for any success, let alone a career. I'm just a low-level actor. What's wrong?"
Jia Qiang thought that Lingguan was sensitive and had misunderstood that she had scolded her, so she quickly smiled and said, "Look at you! Isn't this for your own good? I'm fine, aren't I discussing this with you..."
Before he could even finish his sentence, the young official interrupted and said, "There is no need to discuss it. I can't sing well in the two plays that are not my own, "The Garden" and "The Dream"! If I want to sing, I will only sing "Agreement" and "Xiangmao"! The empress again
You didn’t force me to sing those two songs, or force me to sing. If I can’t sing, just find someone else.”
Jia Qiang had no choice but to watch Ling Guan open his mouth. Finally, she thought that she was asking for trouble, so she had no choice but to let her go. Little did she know that Ling Guan couldn't help but sigh after watching him leave...
How could she not know what Jia Qiang was thinking? It’s just that she really didn’t need it. Whether it was the so-called meteoric rise or Jia Qiang’s concern, for senior officials, not even a hair on Jia Jing’s head could compare to it!
That's why she said "I can't sing!" This was just to hint that Jia Qiang's stubbornness was not sweet, and there would be no result between the two of them! She had already stayed in Jia Jing's room!
The little eunuch outside didn't know how he knew about it, so he told Yuan Chun about it. Yuan Chun was originally interested in asking about it because he saw that the young official looked like Daiyu.
Who knows, or who may have let it slip that this girl is now Jia Jing's favorite maid, but she was temporarily short of someone to sing Xiao Dan, so she got her!
How smart is Yuanchun? She is a woman who fought her way out of the palace! She is brave and resourceful, but she has been bullied just because she is pure and kind in her heart. Why can't she figure out the key to it?
Therefore, although Jia Mu and others are worried that Yuanchun will scold Jia Jing for his nonsense, after all, naughty actors are not allowed to be on the stage. Even if they are domestic actors, it will not sound good if they say it...
As a result, Yuanchun had no intention of blaming Jia Jing. Instead, he looked at Lingguan with great interest, and occasionally glanced at Daiyu, whose face was slightly red.
Is this your new love?
There was inevitably a sour taste in Yuanchun's heart. No woman would be generous when she saw that the love that was originally hers was taken away by another woman, or even became that woman's exclusive love.
!
Yuanchun looked at Daiyu who bowed her head shyly, and couldn't help but feel raging jealousy in her heart! Yes, she was really jealous, jealous that Daiyu could have Jia Jing's favor alone!
Although the pure kindness in her heart still made her know that it was wrong to think this way, Yuanchun couldn't help but think about how heartbroken she would be when Jia Jing married the woman in front of her in the future!
Yuanchun couldn't help but think about this. He suppressed the sad sourness in his heart and ordered someone to reward the young official. He asked her to come up and sing two more times. Maybe he wanted to get the pleasure of humiliating Daiyu? Yuanchun himself didn't think so.
have no idea…………
But it was obvious that Daiyu didn't take this to heart at all, and everyone thought that Yuanchun thought Lingguan was strange, or simply thought Lingguan was good at singing.
After the two songs were sung, Yuanchun learned from the young eunuch that Ling Guan was "not afraid of power." He was also very moved. He also liked Ling Guan a little more in his heart, so he ordered, "Mo Nan, for the sake of this girl, teach me well."
"In addition, I was rewarded with two bolts of palace silk, two purses, gold and silver locks, etc.
The banquet was canceled for a while, and everyone left the main hall of the Grand View Garden, and went to visit some places that they had never been to before. After a while, they came around to the Cuicui Temple. In Yuanchun, seeing the mountain surrounding the Buddhist temple, they wanted to go in and pay homage.
Someone was busy going in to ask Miaoyu to prepare early. Miaoyu had already entered samadhi, so even if she heard that some princess was coming, she lost interest after asking that Jia Jing was not accompanying her, so she did not move, but she had no choice but to
Maybe a few sisters-in-law came out to receive her.
Yuanchun didn't know, but Jia Mu and others knew about it but didn't dare to tell it. Yuanchun washed his hands and went in to burn incense and worship Buddha. He also wrote a plaque saying "Suffering Sea of Mercy" and gave an extra favor to a group of female nuns.
The eunuch, except for Cuicui'an, knelt down and said, "We have all the gifts, please check and reward them as usual." After saying this, he presented the gift list in brief.
Yuanchun looked at it from the beginning and said nothing, so he followed the order, so the eunuch took the order and handed it out one by one.
The gifts Yuanchun prepared for Jia Mu were a gold and jade Ruyi handle, an agarwood walking stick, a string of flail beads, four pieces of "Wealthy Changchun" palace satin, four pieces of "Longevity and Longevity" palace silk, and a purple and gold "Ruyi" pen ingot.
Ten ingots, "more than enough for auspicious celebrations" ten ingots of silver.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang did the same thing, except for the four items of Ruyi, Guai, and Zhu. Jia She, Jia Zheng, etc. made two new imperial books, two boxes of precious ink, and two gold and silver lamps each, which were placed in front of the table.
Baochai and Daiyu, the sisters are not left behind to welcome and explore. Each of them has a new book, an inkstone, and two pairs of gold and silver ingots in a new pattern.
Baoyu and Jialan have two gold and silver necklaces and two pairs of gold and silver ingots. Youshi, Li Wan, Feng Jie and others all have four gold and silver ingots, which represent the four ends of the gift.
There are also twenty-four gifts and five hundred bunches of clear money, which are given to Mrs. Jia Muwang and the wet nurses and maids in the sisters' rooms. Jia Lian, Jia Huan, Jia Rong, etc. all have one gift and one gold and silver.
right.
The rest include a hundred pieces of colored satin, a thousand taels of silver, and several bottles of royal wine, which are given to the East and West mansions and the garden to manage the projects, furnishings, promises, opera directors, and lamplighters. In addition, there are three hundred bunches of clear money, which are given to the kitchen servants.
, actors, actors, performers, etc.
After presenting these gifts, Yuanchun realized that he had never seen Jia Jing since he first met her, so the gifts he had personally prepared for Jia Jing could not be given away.
I specially recruited someone to ask, and then I found out that there was an emergency outside. Jia Jing had already gone out earlier. Naturally, Jia Jing's mother blamed Jia Jing. What urgent matter could be bigger than his eldest sister's marriage visit?
But Yuanchun persuaded her, saying that it was not easy for Jia Jing to be outside. It was a small matter for me to go home. If I had to run around so late, it must be an emergency. Then it would not be a big deal for me to go home. After hearing this, Mother Jia
Just gave up.
Then Yuanchun got tired, and Jia's mother couldn't stand it anymore because she was old. She had already been shopping for a long time today, and now she was exhausted after spending so long wearing this big make-up.
Upon seeing this, Yuanchun ordered everyone to disperse and go to bed first. If there is anything else, we can discuss it tomorrow. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief!
Outside, Wang Fuzhong heard that Yuanchun was going to rest, so he said to Yuanchun, "Master Marquis has given instructions. If the empress goes to bed, she can stay in Yihongyuan. This main hall is too deserted after all."
The old eunuch who had been following him with his eyes lowered raised his snow-white eyebrows when he heard this, opened his eyes and said, "My Lady, the rules cannot be broken. As a princess, how can you live outside the main hall..."
…”
Yuan Chun glanced at him coldly, and then said to Wang Fuzhong outside, "Since we have already made arrangements, let's do it like this!" Wang Fuzhong outside quickly agreed and went to make arrangements.
Yuan Chun glanced at the old eunuch. The old eunuch lowered his head hurriedly. After Yuan Chun left with disdain, the old eunuch raised his head with dim eyes and squinted slightly to look in the direction where Yuan Chun disappeared...
At this time, Jia Jing was standing at the entrance of Taiyuan Hospital with a gloomy face. A little Huang Men'er next to her felt the condensed aura on Jia Jing's body and was so frightened that she could hardly speak!
He could only say tremblingly, "Go back, Lord Marquis, Eunuch Dai said, I am afraid that the matter you mentioned cannot enter the palace. Your Majesty has fallen into a deep sleep at this time and cannot deal with any foreign affairs..."
…”
The little eunuch's words suddenly stuck in his neck, because he felt that the aura of the man in front of him seemed to be sinking a little more!
He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, lowering his head and not daring to breathe!
After an unknown amount of time, three low and hoarse words came out of the mouth of the Marquis in front of him: "I know."
No emotional changes could be heard, but the little eunuch was still trembling with fear. Jia Jing glanced at him and said, "Go and do your work."
The little eunuch responded with relief, then wiped away the cold sweat and ran away, "Good boy! This man's aura has matched that of the emperor! He has never been so nervous when he was around the emperor!"
Jia Jing lowered her head and seemed a little depressed. Then she saw his old acquaintance Wang Jiren coming out. Jia Jing quickly stepped forward and said, "How are you?"
Wang Jiren sighed and said, "The injury is very serious and there are many fractures. Fortunately, it does not seem that he was attacked by any objects. However, Mr. Zhang may need some time to rest."
Jia Jing nodded and said, "I wonder if I can recuperate in Tai Hospital? Brother Shi also knows that Mr. Zhang's family..."
Wang Jiren sighed with emotion and shook his head. Who would have expected that such a brilliant and high-spirited court planner would end up like this! I am afraid that I will not be able to find another person who is so miserable after searching through ancient and modern history books!
But if you think about it, history books will only record that he was a corrupt official who committed tyranny and was eventually beaten to death by the excited "common people"...
Wang Jiren is also an imperial doctor after all, and he has at least some gossip, so he can naturally guess why Zhang Gong is like this. Therefore, he sympathizes with Zhang Gong and nodded to Jia Jing, "That's natural. During this time,
We will leave Mr. Zhang to recuperate in the Imperial Hospital, Lord Marquis, don’t worry."
Jia Jing took a look inside, and then remained silent for a moment. She could only shake her head helplessly and leave with a sigh...
What Jia Jing didn't know was that not long after he left, an "uninvited guest" was welcomed into the hospital. The man was wrapped in a black robe. Zhang Gong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw this man.
His eyes opened and closed with excitement, but he couldn't say a word!
The man in black robe stretched out his hand and gently held Zhang Gong's trembling hand. Zhang Gong burst into tears and spoke softly with his mouth open. The man in black robe held his hand silently.
Tears soaked the entire pillow!
Early the next morning, Grandma Liu, who had stayed in the guest room for one night, hurriedly wanted to see Jia Mu. However, Jia Mu got up this morning, perhaps because she was tired from yesterday and her body was not strong, so Sister Feng did not take her with her.
When I went to see Jia Mu, I just wanted to bring her the things I had originally rewarded, send her some more money, and see if Jia Mu would like to see her later.
Grandma Liu really didn’t want to fight Qiu Feng again, but she really had something important to do and wanted to see Jia Mu!
She drank too much yesterday and didn't pay attention. As a result, she woke up this morning and thought about it. The more she thought about the woman in the Cuicui nunnery yesterday, the more familiar she felt, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she had seen her before!
But I couldn't think of it for a moment. When I woke up this morning, my mind was clear. When I saw the fireworks cooking outside, an idea suddenly flashed in Grandma Liu's head!
Scared! Isn’t the woman in the Cuicui Nunnery the same woman in red drawing firewood that I saw outside the door that winter?
Although some time has passed, Miaoyu's appearance has changed slightly, and now Miaoyu is not wearing the red and white dress, but is dressed as a monk, but Grandma Liu still keenly recognizes
Miaoyu appears! And the more I think about it, the more it looks like it!
Thinking of this, Grandma Liu broke into a cold sweat. How could a woman who had to draw firewood to live without knowing whether she was a human or a ghost suddenly become a monk? And when she drank too much yesterday, the second master Bao
I also asked the origin of this woman’s name.
When I first inquired in the village, I heard people in the village say that this woman seemed to be named Mingyu. Why did she become Miaoyu now?
And the most serious thing is that the second master Bao obviously does not know the real name of this Miaoyu, nor does he know that this Miaoyu has such a history!
Something is wrong! How can the owner not know the details of the person he invited? Although Grandma Liu is a country woman and cannot understand many things, she can still detect something wrong.
Therefore, he hurriedly told Mother Jia about this matter. Who knew that Mother Jia was in poor health and was still resting in bed. Grandma Liu was pulled by Sister Feng to talk for a long time, and the anxiety in her heart actually decreased a lot.
I was thinking to myself, among all the people in the family, who is not smarter than her old lady? Besides, it’s not like there aren’t people who look exactly the same, maybe she drank too much yesterday and made a mistake?
Thinking of this, Grandma Liu was relieved and no longer thought about these things. She smiled and said goodbye to Sister Feng, "I must have gone home today. Although I only stayed for one day, I never saw or tasted anything like this in the past."
Yes, those who have never heard of it have experienced it!”
Grandma Liu really thanked everyone in the Jia family from the bottom of her heart, and said, "It's rare that the old lady, my aunts, the ladies, and even the girls in each room have such pity and care for me. I haven't said goodbye since I returned."
The only way I can repay you is to buy you some incense and pray for you every day to bless you with a long life."
Sister Feng smiled and said, "Don't like it, it's all because of you. The old lady also got sick from the wind, and it's hard to sleep when she falls asleep." After hearing this, Grandma Liu sighed hurriedly, "The old lady is old and is not used to working very hard.
Tired."
Sister Feng said, "I have never been as happy as I was yesterday. I usually go to the garden for a walk, but I came back after sitting in one or two places. Yesterday, because you were here, I asked you to go for a walk, and you walked out of more than half of the garden."
"
Grandma Liu nodded in agreement, and Sister Feng took her to say goodbye to Jia Mu. Jia Mu was indeed in poor health, so she called the imperial doctor early in the morning. Wang Jiren looked at it and said it was just a trivial matter and she didn't need to take any medicine.
If you want to take two doses, just prescribe a few doses of health-preserving medicine.
Over there, Jia She and others had just sent away the imperial doctor. Grandma Liu who was outside saw that everything was okay in the hall, so she went up to say goodbye to Jia Mu.
Jia's mother was dizzy and didn't keep her much longer. She just said, "Come back when you have time." Then she ordered Yuanyang to say, "Haosheng, send Grandma Liu out. I'm not well, so I can't send her away to you."
Grandma Liu thanked her, told the old lady to take a good rest, and then said goodbye, and then she and Yuanyang came out. Yuanyang prepared for Grandma Liu the things Jia Mu had prepared for her, as well as the things in the house.
With some rewards and a Miaoyu kiln cup sent by Jia Jing, Grandma Liu packed her bags in the car and went home happily to celebrate the New Year!
At this time, on the river not far from Shenjing, several large ships were cutting through the waves heading towards Shenjing!
In the cabin, a girl held her jaw with one hand and stared blankly at the water. The voice and smile of a man kept flashing in her mind, flashing back to the days she had spent with him that she could never forget...
…
"Are you in pain?"
"good."
"It must be very painful! When I was a kid, my father hit me on the butt with a bamboo pole and it hurt for a long time! I'll bandage it for you so it won't hurt!"
"Are you hungry?"
"good……………"
"You must be very hungry! You haven't been off the city wall for two days! Here! I just baked it!"
"Do you want to go home?"
"…………good."
"You must miss home, when I was a child......"
"Didn't anyone tell you when you were little that you were noisy?"
