52、□Silly sister
The matter of the historian was aroused, and it became the subject of jokes in the capital after dinner, which covered up a lot of turbulent dark waves for a while.
On this day, the sky is fine, the trees are green and the flowers are red, it is a good time to go out and enjoy the scenery.
But Jia Huan's complexion was so gloomy that water could drip down, and he strode forward with big strides. The two servants, Ping An and Ru Yi, bowed their heads and followed behind him, not daring to vent their breath.
"Boom!" Shi Mo looked up, slightly surprised, "Huan'er, why are you so flustered?"
Jia Huan's complexion was the same at this time, and he looked at Shi Mo with warm eyes as always, "I walked a little too quickly, it's hot these days, and I can't help but feel bored."
Shi Mo laughed, got up and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "You, don't say that you are sweating when you come out in a hurry, but blame the sun. Now I can only say that it is full of spring, and it is hot everywhere. Now, if your words are heard by the talented scholars who went to Confucius' "Chun Ying Hui" today, they will say that you don't understand the insult of gentleness."
Mentioning the Chunyinghui, Jia Huan's eyes darkened, and his slender and strong fingers picked up a sketch painting of bamboo, chrysanthemum, flowers and birds that was casually placed in the corner of the desk, opened it for a look, raised his eyes to look at Shi Mo, and hooked it. At the corner of his lips, he casually threw the rather elegant post into the white porcelain blue and white jar beside him.
The vat looked exquisite, but there were some paper balls, book pages and other things in it, but it was used by Shi Mo in the study as a basket for throwing rubbish. Uncle Yuan taught them from the beginning that things in the study, especially The written paper, whether important or not, must be gathered together and burned every day by trustworthy servants and maids—the dike of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest.The habit of being cautious must be cultivated from an early age in order to be ambitious.
Seeing this, Shan Shan, who was served by two little girls in the study, took a step forward. The post was sent by his uncle, and he told him to go and see it when he had time. It was still early, if he changed his mind, That……
Shan Shan raised her fingertips slightly, and was about to speak, but met Master Huan's indifferent eyes.Jia Huan glanced at her indifferently, then turned his head just in time to hold the tea that Shi Mo handed over.
"Have some tea and take a break," Shi Mo looked at this man and frowned, "Why don't you go and change your clothes, you're sweating profusely, and you'll be fine if you get a cold after going out for a while."
Coral's fingers were all stiff, a coldness rushed from the soles of her feet to her back, her lips were pale, she lowered her head and took a step back.
"Go out?" Jia Huan smiled half-smile, "Today the young and middle-aged talent club is headed by the Confucian Mansion. Are you going to the Chunyinghui?"
Shi Mo looked into his eyes in surprise, "Aren't you going with me?"
Hearing this sentence, Jia Huan's expression softened slightly, and he snorted, "You, Mr. Shi, go show off your looks and literary talents, and the handsome man smiles! What am I going to do?"
The words were so sour that Shi Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "Although the Confucian Mansion also entertained the ladies and ladies in Beijing today, those female relatives are naturally in the inner house, so what have we got to do with it?"
Jia Huan's eyes widened, this man is just pretending to be stupid!
"Tsk! Although I don't know what the Confucian Mansion's annual Spring Festival will look like? It is said to enjoy the spring scenery and meet friends through literature, but in fact it is just an affectation of the Confucian Mansion to match those talented and beautiful women!"
"..."
Seeing that Shi Mo was speechless, Jia Huan became even angrier, "The Kong family is also descendants of sages after all, officials don't work hard, don't study their knowledge, and instead compete with the showy matchmaker for business! I don't know what it means!"
"Huan'er!" Shi Mo opened his mouth to reprimand, but when he met those black eyes full of grievances, Mr. Shi couldn't help but be short of breath, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and sat down helplessly holding Jia Huan's hand , "Be careful!"
"The Confucian family is the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty, and the literati in the world set an example. You can't say this outside," Shi Mo thought about it, and felt that what his children said was not rough, but there was some truth to it. It seems that there is indeed a bit of suspicion of stealing the livelihood of a woman who is a matchmaker in the streets. When I think about it, what I say is really biased towards my own children, "What about the Kong family, just say a few words in private. Anyway, it's just a The display, the Holy One and the court held it up for the literati in the world to see, but today is shrewd, and got Mr. Kong to go up and down to the Chongwen Division, which organizes and compiles the classics. Mr. Kong doesn't even have the slightest real power in his hands Even if any book is really edited, it must be approved by the emperor's imperial pen before it can be promoted. The place is remote, and [-]% of the officials in the capital don't know where the Chongwen Division's door is open. If Master Kong doesn't "invent" The Chunyinghui, I am afraid that in the past three or five years, the Kong family will become moldy and long-haired in Beijing, and it will be useless if no one mentions the name after Kong Shengren. Besides..."
After a pause, Shi Mo showed a tacit smile, and whispered: "Besides, this literati is advocating the Kong family, but half of the ten in the capital are descendants of noble families. Who is not usually arrogant? Are you willing to praise and flatter the empty shell of the Confucian family? If the Confucian family doesn’t hold the Spring Festival and invites the ladies and gentlemen to the banquet, how can they attract those talents who are too idle? The same goes for the wives and girls. Who would want to go there if he could not see the literary talents of those talents who have been introduced to the inner courtyard at the Spring Festival, and broaden the horizons of those who are waiting to marry and look for a son-in-law? Literary talent, the timing of girls competing for beauty, what is the so-called one drink and one peck."
What Shi Mo didn't say was that the Chunyinghui was held by the Confucius family. Even if there was a slight breakthrough in the defense of men and women, but with the name of the sage Confucius, who in the world would dare to say otherwise?
The boudoir daughter's communication is rare and shallow, but through the Chunying meeting, it is possible to show her talent in front of most of the wives in the capital and win a good reputation. , Naturally, why not do it.Moreover, the talents who can receive this gentleman's post are not ordinary scholars with empty talents. They must have at least one part of family background and fame. Wouldn't it be a chance for wives to find a son-in-law? ——You must know that the people who come and go with noble families on weekdays are not people with a long history, and the perspective is inevitably narrowed, but it is different at the Chunying Meeting. In addition to those in the capital, you can also meet the sons of noble families in various provincial capitals, If you really like it, you can also ask Mrs. Kong to play around with it.
Shan Shan stood in the corner with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, thinking that luckily she told the little girl to go down just now when she saw Master Huan throwing the post. She couldn't help the corners of her eyes twitching when she heard these words: Master!Just now I said that Master Huan should be cautious about his words, but the Kong family, who is your arranger, is even more, even more... Sigh!
Jia Huan's peach blossom eyes were bent, obviously what Shi Mo said put someone in a good mood.Knocked his chin, "Then you still go? Is it that good to be selected as a livestock? Humph, don't think I haven't heard of it. The backyard of the Kong family is separated by a curtain and screen, and those wives and wives can watch from behind the screen! "
Livestock?Shi Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, this man's mouth was too poisonous.
"Or, are you in love? Why, want to ask for a marriage?" Those peach blossom eyes that have become more and more beautiful these years turned sideways, and Shi Mo was slightly distracted by the momentary amorous feelings.
"Cough! Say, what are you talking about!" Shi Mo glared at him angrily, and turned to the coral in the corner, who was watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart, "Go down to the coral, and ask someone to bring Ben Xiao and Jing Lei out. After a while, Master Huan and I Ride out."
Coral blushed, blessed her body hastily, quickly opened the door and closed the door.
Having said that, do you still want to go out? !Jia Huan's peach blossom eyes almost turned into triangular eyes.
"How old is my young master, it's too early to think about it!" Is my body only thirteen now?Marriage at this time is generally concerned with the age of a man and a woman, and Shi Mo shudders when he thinks that he may be chosen as a son-in-law by the mother of a six-year-old girl. The ancients are so cruel!
Afraid that Jia Huan would say anything more, Shi Mo hurriedly explained the reason why he was going to visit the muddy water of Chunyinghui, "Don't think about what's there, what kind of brother-in-law am I looking for?"
"Brother-in-law?" Jia Huan stood up in surprise, "But uncle said..."
"Uncle?" Shi Mo frowned, "What did Uncle say? I asked Uncle for this 'Gentleman's Post', in order to find a suitable marriage for my eldest sister!"
Shi Mo put a lot of emphasis on appropriateness, and he was also annoyed. He really didn't understand what Xiangyun was thinking, why he couldn't forget that Jia stone?Just because of the repeated instigations of Mrs. Zhong Jinghou's wife Xiao Xie, her thoughts on Jia Baoyu have revived?Their third aunt is not a kind elder. For the kindness she showed when she came to the capital at the beginning of the year, Shi Mo thought that all these expensive gift lists have been returned in return, and from the gift list, he can Letting her know that she has a lot of money is also deliberately expressing her non-involvement in the matter of seizing the family property of the Shi family... But the third uncle and the third aunt actually hit Xiangyun's head with her mind, and turned around to try to get her Push it out as a gunner.
"If it hadn't been for what happened to Shi Gui that year, the Shi family's rumors became turbulent, and they became strict all of a sudden. I'm afraid that my eldest sister would have come to persuade me to join my third uncle and claim the Shi family property I deserve." Shi Mo curled his lips. , complained: "I really don't know what's so good about Baoyu. A heroic and generous girl like my sister fell into this muddy bath. It doesn't make people feel uncomfortable."
Jia Huan had never had a good impression of Shi Xiangyun, but when he heard Shi Mo suddenly mentioning this matter, he knew that Shi Xiangyun must have been annoyed by that little Xie's jumping up and down, and he couldn't help but feel even more annoyed. He had to deal with his sister, so he had to be patient and said: "If she really likes Baoyu, so what if you let her go? The old lady treats her even better. It's not in vain to give up time."
Hearing the old lady, Shi Mo panicked in disgust. That old lady, making trouble at such an age, is really an eyesore.
"Don't mention that old lady of yours," Shi Mo sneered, "what good intentions can she have, but she just used the elder sister as the spearhead of the game between her and the Wang family. The good play of Aunt Jin earlier was burned on Baoyu , Your master has absolutely no heart for Baoyu. At that time, the Wang family had made great achievements in the marriage between Baoyu and Xue's family, but Mrs. Shi blocked it openly and secretly, and delayed until now the eldest daughter of Xue's family has passed her age. Humph! The kindness that was born, pushed my sister to the front as a target again this year, you just wait, when the news from the palace comes out, I'm afraid I will look down on my sister immediately—besides, even if the eldest sister is confused, I I will definitely not recruit such a brother-in-law for myself, if you look after your second brother Bao, hurry home and be with him, go and go!"
As soon as Jia Huan heard it, he knew that the man was annoyed.Shi Mo is a man with a clear line in his heart. Relatives and close relatives have positions, and he usually protects his shortcomings. Although he is not close to Shi Xiangyun, compared to Jia Baoyu, who is a bad guy, he is naturally towards his sister. Jia Huan also knew that if this matter happened to him and Shi Xiangyun, Shi Mo would definitely stand by his side without hesitation.
...onto himself?Jia Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then shivered. It's not like the old lady and the second lady in Rongfu couldn't do such a shameless thing, so I better be on guard.
Shi Mo didn't know what Jia Huan was thinking, he shivered suddenly and was still puzzled.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry," Jia Huan said softly, "I'm always so confused, and I'm hurting you, am I not angry?"
"I said Young Master Shi, what kind of 'brother-in-law' do you want to find? What does uncle say? How could this matter happen to you? What is the regulation in the Zhongjinghou Mansion?"
Shi Mo was amused by several questions, got up and brushed his sleeves, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be high, as long as your family is rich and you are not in the capital, you should be honest and responsible. Uncle asked me to go and see those questions first." Talented and handsome, look at it and tell him, someone will check it out, and we can discuss it at that time, anyway, I have deposited the dowry of the elder sister in the bank for her early in the morning, and divided half of the private house left by my mother. Uncle still has mother's dowry list in his hand. Sooner or later, uncle will get it back from the treasury of Marquis Bowling, and half of it belongs to eldest sister. I see that if there is any rift between uncle and eldest sister, uncle I don't like to meddle in her affairs. I think it's because the big sister used to have a little calculation to get along with the little uncle. If the uncle doesn't like to meddle with her, I don't care. Anyway, I don't want to break her thoughts about Baoyu. If she has lost her mind, she might as well make a marriage and teach her to give up."
Jia Huan grabbed his sleeve, got up and went out together with him, interrupted with a smile: "Don't worry that the Marquis Baoling's Mansion will not be happy, the second wife who just entered the door is not a good person, if no one came to propose marriage, or else The girls in his family have been cleared out of the house long ago, if someone proposes marriage for the elder sister, they will be overjoyed and settled down."
The inner house of Marquis Bowling's mansion is very chaotic now, the second wife who entered the door is not a good person, Mrs. Qi who is 'sick in bed' is even more deeply rooted in the Hou's mansion. Being a wife, her reputation is not right, not to mention that most of the people in the huge mansion used to be Madam Qi's confidantes and close friends. Those two fights were wonderful. Shi Nai wanted to take advantage of the new wife's natal family, but he got burned, and now Xiao Qiang was in trouble. Can't blame others.
"As for the Zhongjinghou's Mansion..." Shi Mo raised his face, his dark eyes glowing brightly, "Since my third uncle and three aunts are staring at the Shi family's wealth so eagerly, they must despise the gift I sent Now, there is no need to give gifts for the four seasons and eighth festivals. If you are interested in someone, you will bring the elder sister to our house, and it is time for the mother to teach the elder sister some housekeeping skills."
Hearing Shi Mo's condescending words for the first time, Jia Huan still laughed: People who were placed in Zhongjinghou's family had already said that because Shi Ding was active in the court, there were more and more things like ostentation, gifts and favors, and the Zhongjinghou's family had already become more and more. When it comes to the situation of living without food, the young Xie family is the young daughter of the Marquis of Dingcheng. She didn't want to be raised as the head of the family, so she is not proficient in the fact of private property management. But there is not much oil and water, Zhong Jinghou has a shallow foundation after all, and he is greedy for merit, and the money he got is scattered in a few days.Therefore, the heavy gifts sent by this person every year can relieve the temporary embarrassment of Zhongjinghou's mansion. Now that this property is cut off, Zhongjinghou can no longer hide behind and instigate his niece and nephew to come forward, so he has to jump anxiously. Going out to compete with his elder brother for the ancestral property—who doesn't know that Zhong Jinghou is hospitable and generous, and he can't afford to lose this man...
