Chapter 115: Riding a crane? Will the Jia family discuss matters again?
"Brother Xin, it's a bit cold~"
Probably because she didn't expect to walk such a long way, Xichun shook her little hands and the tip of her nose was already red.
Hearing this, Jia Qi paused and waved to Xichun when he saw Xichun couldn't help but huffing. Seeing this, Xichun secretly winked at Xiangling and ran over.
Jia Qi touched his little hands, which were indeed a little cold, and then ordered the two maids at the side to fetch a thick cloak. However, it would take some time to fetch the things, so he temporarily held Xichun's little hand.
The Da Huang Ting in his body circulates in the eight extraordinary meridians, endlessly, and his body is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a mobile warm baby in this season. After Xichun's hand was held by Jia Qi, after a while,
Feeling warm inside her body, she secretly raised her head and looked at Jia Qi beside her, her eyes full of cunning.
After a while, Wutong trotted over and brought over a white mink cloak. After Jia Chu put it on Xichun, he let go of his hand and led the way. Xichun felt a little unhappy when he saw Jia Chu withdrawing his hand.
Although the mink cloak looks good and keeps you warm, it doesn't feel as warm and comfortable as the whole body.
At this moment, a low laughter came from her ears. As soon as she turned around, she saw Cai Luan and Xiang Ling biting their ears. After Xiang Ling glanced at her, she pursed her lips and snickered, although she didn't know
The two people were talking about something, but she didn't feel it was a good thing, so she stamped her feet and walked towards them.
When Xiangling saw Xichun rushing over with momentum, she narrowed her head and quickly turned her head to the other side, not daring to look at her. But the more this happened, the more Xichun felt that something was wrong, so she rushed over in two or two steps, and came.
He walked to Xiangling's side, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiangling, what were you talking about just now?"
Xiangling felt her hand being pulled up, her body stiffened, and she said with a guilty conscience: "Girl, no, I didn't say anything!"
But how could Xichun believe this? So he took out a pair of small hands from the cloak, then grabbed them in the air, and continued with a smile: "Really?"
Xiang Ling's face changed slightly, she was most ticklish, but Xi Chun had been using this to scare her these years, and she couldn't tickle him, and had been defeated by her many times. Only when she was with Dai Yu, could she
Revenge, now that she is alone, she is really afraid that Xichun will come and tickle her.
"No~ really not~"
However, Xichun didn't believe it, so he tried to tickle her. Xiangling screamed and ran towards Jia Qi, "Master! Help!! Miss Xichun wants to tickle me!"
When Xichun saw that Xiangling did not follow martial ethics, her face bulged with anger, and a trace of resentment rose in her eyes.
"Xiao Xiangling, I won't be naughty with you anymore. I don't say anything when you and Sister Lin tickle me together on weekdays!"
Xiang Ling came to Jia Qi's side and blinked twice, "But I can't itch you myself!"
"You~"
Cai Luan saw her at the side and twitched her lips, quite funny. These two little girls were simple-minded and had no purpose in mind when they were around Jia Qi. One was charming and naive, the other clever, which was indeed good.
Jia Qi on the side did not speak, just smiled.
However, the two little girls were not so angry in their hearts. They were angry now, but they might be fine again the next moment. Not long after, Xiangling walked over again with Xichun's assurance, and started chatting and laughing with them.
After a while, Jia Qi and a few people came to the artificial lake named Qingyao.
The entire lake is not small, but it has long been frozen, and now it is covered with a thick layer of snow. There is a small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and two small boats are parked on the shore. It seems that they are going to that place.
, you have to go there by boat.
On the opposite bank, there are two extremely splendid cranes rubbing their ears and temples together, playing and having fun, and from time to time the cranes can be heard chirping.
When he saw Jia Qi coming, the two cranes flapped their wings and he flew over.
The two little girls were startled and hid behind Jia Qi, while Xiang Ling poked her head out from the side.
"What kind of strange bird is this? How did it grow so big??"
Xichun's obsidian eyes rolled around, "It must be a crane! But why is it so big?"
Xiangling looked at the two cranes getting closer and asked nervously: "Uncle? These strange birds can't eat people, can they??"
She was still worried about the big cat that Jia Qi mentioned when he took her down the river last time. She never thought that the thing could eat people, and it even scared her at the time!
When Xichun on the side heard this, her heart was beating like a drum, and her face suddenly turned pale. She was thinking that with such a big body, one person might not be enough for her!
Cai Luan looked at the two little girls who scared her and chuckled: "What are you thinking? If they dared to eat people, they would have been killed by your uncle!"
Hearing Cai Luan's words, the two little girls couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out their hands to pat their chests.
Seeing the two little girls like this, Cai Luan rolled her eyes, then knelt down and waved to them to come over.
Then she whispered a few words beside the two girls. Xichun's eyes suddenly lit up, her whole body trembled with excitement, and a story in her storybook that she had never forgotten suddenly appeared in her mind.
"The immortal rode a crane down to the south of the Yangtze River and saw the red clothes. He entered the rivers and lakes and then left the rivers and lakes!"
There were several stories in that storybook that she liked the most, one of which was the story about the Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain and the red dress. Unconsciously, her little hands clenched tightly.
Xiangling was still scared, but she didn't think much about it.
Cai Luan was a little surprised when she saw Xichun's appearance. Couldn't it just carry people flying? She had already experienced it. Although it was exciting, it wasn't like this, right?
I wonder how she could have guessed the little girl's thoughts without telling the story?
After swallowing a sip of Xiangjin, Xichun tugged on Jia Xun's clothes, her voice was still trembling, "Brother Xin, brother Xin..."
In the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, Jia Zheng was off duty. Hearing that Jia's mother had something to call him, he changed his court clothes and walked to Rongqing Hall.
On the way, he saw the little maids playing and playing in the corridor of Jia Mu's courtyard. He was quite surprised. Why did these maids run out when they were not waiting on Jia Mu?
After he stood still, he was about to ask why, but he hesitated again. A lot of things happened in the house in the past two days. Jia Mu said that she was summoned for something. Could it be something important?
After thinking about this, he didn't ask any more questions, but his steps became much faster.
When he arrived at Rongqing Hall, he found Wang Xifeng guarding the door. He was slightly startled. This niece-in-law had always pleased the old lady, so why did she become the gatekeeper now?
Seeing Jia Zheng's arrival, Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Master, you are the only one left. Come in quickly! The old lady and the others have been waiting for a long time."
Jia Zheng looked a little suspicious when he heard Sister Feng's words. Hearing this, Jia Mu was not the only one in the room??
He didn't hesitate, opened the door curtain and walked in.
As soon as he came into the room, he looked slightly stunned. Jia She and Jia Zhen were both there, but they didn't speak. They were all in deep thought. Jia Mu was sitting on the soft couch in the middle, and she didn't speak either.
Jia Zheng saw the ceremony first, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Jia Mu say: "Second brother, I have something here, you should also think about it."
Jia Zheng thought for a while and guessed that the current appearance of his elder brother Jia She and Jia Zhen might be related to what Jia Mu said. He did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Mom, please tell me!
"
Jia Mu sighed first, then looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Your eldest daughter has been in the palace for a long time, right?"
Jia Zheng thought for a while and replied with some emotion: "Girl Yuan? It's been eight or nine years!"
Jia Mu then said: "I didn't close my eyes at midnight last night, thinking about the three things that Brother Qi promised to our two houses~"
Jia Zheng's eyes changed. He understood what Jia Mu said. Looking at Jia She and Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng couldn't help but ask: "What are the opinions of eldest brother and Zhen'er?"
Jia She shook his head and gave his brother a thoughtful look, "It shouldn't have much effect, but it can make Girl Yuan feel better in the palace!"
Jia Zhen was silent for a while and said: "The two houses have already spent a lot of money on the eldest sister. I think we can give it a try. If Brother Xing is useless, then our two houses don't have to spend any more money on the eldest sister.
Come on, I’ll look at this person in advance, if it really happens…”
Speaking of this, Jia Zhen couldn't help stroking her beard, which was not too long, and chuckled twice, and the underlying meaning was self-evident.
Then Jia Zhen asked again, "What do you mean, sir?"
At this time, Jia She looked at Jia Zheng without leaving any trace. He knew what his brother was like. If he were to be called hypocritical, that would not be entirely true. He had too many words of saints in his head, which had an impact on him, but
If we say that he is a serious scholar, he is not that mature yet. He is very pedantic. His mind is full of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Rules.
Sure enough, I heard Jia Zheng say: "I don't agree with this matter. Whether Yuan Yatou can obtain the holy favor is all God's will. If she doesn't have that blessing, it's useless to force it. We can't put the future of the family on her alone."
What do you want us men to do with this girl?? Dongfu can have a world-famous champion among the younger generations of concubines. Don’t you know that the brothers who are the direct descendants of our two houses will not be named on the gold medal list in the future? Just like Baoyu, he
Although I have a naughty temper, as long as I keep my heart in mind and study hard, I believe I will be able to go to high school one day!"
After listening to Jia Zheng's words, Jia Zhen lowered his head and did not speak any more. He still didn't know what his brother looked like? There was an old lady pressing down on him, asking him to study hard? Maybe the sun would come out in the west!
However, Jia Zheng planned to ask Lin Ruhai to help Jia Baoyu to enlighten him, but it all came to nothing. His brother was really not a candidate for the imperial examination.
Jia She glanced at Jia Mu again, and these words hit her as a partial mother. Instead of letting her precious grandson study, she hoped to make Yuanchun a noble person so as to pave the way for Baoyu.
It's meat, but if I have to choose one, the old lady still has a preference.
Besides, in her opinion, this matter is not about choosing one or the other, but about killing two birds with one stone.
Just listen to Jia Mu say: "Second brother, do you know how Yuan Yatou lives in the palace?"
Jia Zheng frowned. He had never asked about these things. How could he know?
"This~"
Jia Mu smiled coldly, "Of course you don't know. Why have you ever asked about those things? Let me tell you, girl Yuan, her life in the palace is not good. Don't think that those who leave our house are just gold and jade. In the palace,
That noble lady who is not a prince, what advantages do you think she has? You guys are not up to par, and there is nothing you can do to help her. She can only be cautious, be careful in everything, and dare not make any mistakes, you cold-blooded
Damn it, that's your daughter..."
Seeing Jia's mother angry, Jia Zheng quickly knelt down and apologized, "It's all my son's fault. Mother, calm down and don't get angry!"
Jia She and Jia Zhen on the side also quickly stood up.
Jia Zhen said with a smile: "Old lady, calm down! I think this can definitely be done!"
Jia She sighed, "Second brother, success or failure depends on God's will, but at least it can make Girl Yuan feel better, so there's no harm in giving it a try!"
Seeing this, Jia Zheng let out a long sigh and nodded helplessly.
Seeing that all three people agreed, Jia Mu's somewhat cloudy eyes lit up slightly, "Then it's settled! I'll post a post later and ask Brother Qi to come over~"
