Chapter 226: The Eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival
Since Li Zhen ranked Jia Qing as the third place in the township examination, it shows that he has a positive attitude towards some of Jia Qing's views. Therefore, Jia Qing will speak freely in front of him.
Although, in the end, Li Zhen put forward many "fatal" flaws in his theory, just like Fang Shou.
But it also made Jia Qing realize that in this official-based world, although it is impossible to implement the business standard, at least there are still people who are willing to support "reform". It's just that this thing is obviously not something he can do now, or even something that Li Zhen can do.
After leaving the Li Mansion, Jia Qing went to the mansion of Wang Xianjue, the deputy chief examiner, and Hu Zhou, the same examiner who recommended him, and visited them one by one.
This is a courtesy, and it cannot be saved.
Coming out of Hufu, Jia Qing originally wanted to go to Jia Yun's new house to have a look, but when he walked to the vicinity of the other courtyard, he remembered that he hadn't seen Shuang'er and Xian'er for a few days, so he turned around and went to the other courtyard.
After getting out of the carriage, Li Yan and the others went to tie their horses and rest. Jia Qing entered the courtyard alone.
Approaching the main house, I suddenly heard a melodious, long piano sound coming from the back yard.
Jia Qing looked for the sound and went into the garden, only to see Wu Xian'er, who was dressed in white and had a heroic posture, stroking the piano alone in the pavilion.
From time to time, the breeze blows, bringing up the two white ribbons on her body, and with the quiet and melodious sound of the piano in the garden, it is like a fluttering fairy.
Jia Qing stood quietly in place, his mind wandering, silently enjoying this wonderful land of accidental encounters.
After the song is played, the strings are silently closed.
Wu Xian'er left the guqin with both hands, and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing?" ”
Jia Qingfang opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and walked towards the pavilion, while saying, "I didn't know that Sister Xian'er still had such extraordinary piano skills, why didn't she show people in the past?" ”
Wu Xian'er didn't reply but sneered: "Second Master Jia is not playing with the maid in the mansion, when will you have time to come here and gossip with us ordinary people." ”
Listening to these words full of dissatisfaction, Jia Qing smiled. Since returning from the test in another country, I really haven't been to the other hospital.
It's just that Wu Xian'er's reaction is too emotional, right?
Wu Xian'er looked at it beautifully, guessed what Jia Qing might be thinking, her heart tightened, and she said casually: "Your life is chic, let me ask you, what are you going to do about our White Lotus Sect?"
It's been three years, and I've been staying around the capital since I listened to you, but you're going to make me wait like this? ”
Jia Qing sat down on the side of the stone table and said gently: "I just want to tell you that my father has decided to pass it on to me, and the folds that I asked for the seal have been handed over." ”
Wu Xian'er's eyes flashed with joy, but she said, "Oh, then congratulations to the second master." ”
Jia Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you still understand what I mean by saying this to you?"
When I completely grasp the Ning Guofu and take over the ancestor's connections in the army and the government, I can be regarded as having the capital to help you recapture the White Lotus Sect. ”
Wu Xian'er didn't have a happy look on her face. After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, after so many years, I have already figured it out.
Even if I recapture the White Lotus Sect, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect again. We, the White Lotus Sect, have always taken it as our mission to overthrow the imperial court.
You're right, in all dynasties, no matter how big the White Lotus Sect is, it will only become a tool in the hands of others, and it can't save the people......"
Jia Qing thought to himself: The cult also wants to change the dynasty, so it's no wonder that it can succeed!
"And many, many innocent people must die for the sake of this vain cause.
Now that my stepfather is gone, I don't want to go back. It's just that I can't let that bastard from Bai Chi continue to serve as the sect leader in a grand manner.
If you still can't think of a proper way, I'll go back to Yangzhou in person.
I want to ask him face to face if he killed my stepfather! ”
Speaking of this, Wu Xian'er's voice was decisive and resolute. This has become an obsession of hers.
Jia Qing couldn't let her act impulsively, and persuaded: "Don't be stupid.
In the past few years, although your Xuewei has developed relatively well, it is in the vicinity of Gyeonggi. went to Yangzhou, that is Baichi's lair, aren't you going to die?
I know you've waited long enough, but you can't help but think about it.
Moreover, over the years, the White Lotus Sect has repeatedly caused trouble, which has already attracted the attention of the imperial court, and sooner or later there will be a reckoning.
At this time, you should keep a clear head, and if you want to investigate the harm of your stepfather, you can only outwit it, not be reckless.
If you really can't bear it, you can send someone to investigate it secretly.
In case your stepfather was really killed by Bai Chi, and you were caught by him, then who will avenge your stepfather and your dead sisters? ”
Wu Xian'er listened and looked at Jia Qing in a daze.
Jia Qing shook his head and said: "You don't have to look at me, if it weren't for you, it would be impossible for me to take care of your White Lotus Sect's affairs, this kind of trouble and risky matter, I have the imperial court to deal with it." ”
Wu Xian'er's eyes darkened, and Jia Qing made it clear that she would not avenge her, which made her a little disappointed.
Jia Qing saw it in his eyes, a little helpless. He had to say this in order not to let Wu Xian'er act impulsively. If there was a day, he thought, he would!
Farewell to Wu Xian'er, Jia Qing went to see the Shuang'er sisters again.
It's a pity that I didn't see anyone, and I was told by the Xuewei sisters in the courtyard that they were taken to Taohualing by Luzhu.
Peach Blossom Ridge is the base camp of Xuewei.
In this way, Jia Qing left the courtyard and continued to go to Jia Yun's new residence.
……
Rongguo Mansion, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the sisters at home are in a beating mood.
In the morning, the Sanchun sisters went to Daiyu's room to play together.
Because of the mention of Jia Baoyu's study, Tanchun said with a smile: "Second brother shouldn't be afraid that Brother Bao will be annoyed with him, he has been hiding for the past two days, and he doesn't dare to come to this mansion, right?" ”
Everyone laughed. Jia Baoyu didn't care much anymore, and cooperated with everyone and smiled: "This is the second brother's heart, I don't know what kind of person he is, but he is the most open-minded, I know that he definitely didn't mean to say that to the ancestors and his wife."
Shall I be troubled with him for his unintentional mistakes? ”
At this time, Zhou Rui's family came in to spread the word, and happened to hear this, so he said: "It's not what the girl said, last night, there was a mother-in-law who saw the second master of Qing coming over while it was black, this will, I'm afraid it's still in his yard!" ”
Everyone was amazed and said, "Is this the case?" ”
Zhou Ruijia said: "I can still deceive people with this, it's true."
It's just that he came over so late, didn't he come to talk to Bao Er Ye and the girls? ”
Daiyu said: "Sister Zhou's words are surprising, can he only play with us when he comes?"
People have their own people playing with him, and it's much better than us! ”
Tanchun said: "Then there is nothing else, I must have come to find Qingwen!" ”
When Zhou Rui's family heard this, they knew it, smiled and went down.
Inside, Jia Baoyu listened to Daiyu and Tanchun's words, and remembered that he hadn't seen Qingwen for a long time, so he suggested: "The second brother can't say that he is still in his courtyard, why don't we go over and find him!" ”
Everyone said yes, but Daiyu said she didn't want to move. The others knew that she was weak and didn't force it, so they went to Jia Qing's courtyard together.
