The layout of Jinling City, following the layout of the Ming Dynasty, is divided into the imperial city, the capital, the palace city, and the outer Guo city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMochou Lake is located outside the city walls of the province, next to the Stone Gate and the Qingliang Gate. Jia Huan, Qingwen, Daiyu, Aunt Pei and others rented a boat from their residence Wuding Bridge and went down the Qinhuai River to Xishuiguan to Mochou Lake. A group of more than a dozen people walked into the park.

Mochou Lake is the victory of the Six Dynasties, has the reputation of "the first lake in the south of the Yangtze River", "the first scenic spot in Jinling", covers an extensive area, the buildings, pavilions, pavilions in the park are staggered, the embankment is weeping willows, the begonias are intertwined, and the lake is rippling.

However, during the winter months the plants wither. From the cloister on the shore of the lake, the water is rippling, the lake is vast, and the rest of the place is a bit barren and lonely. If you come in spring and summer, you can imagine the scenery here.

In winter, there are few people in Mochou Lake. In the distance, Qingwen's clear laughter came. She went to the front of the cloister to find her way. Jia Huan stood against the railing, looked at the lake, and sighed softly.

Lin Daiyu was wearing a cotton coat, a cotton hat, and a blue cloak to protect herself from the wind. The delicate appearance is slightly disguised. In fact, in winter, when everyone is wrapped in thick clothes, it is still difficult to see the difference between men and women. Aunt Pei, Zijuan, and Raider were with her.

Lin Daiyu asked curiously, "Why is Brother Huan sighing?" "The voice is thin and melodious.

Jia Huan tilted his head slightly, glanced at Daiyu beside him, chuckled, and said, "I'm engaged." It's just that I'm not in the capital. ”

Lin Daiyu is certainly very beautiful, but at this time it is already a delicate flower shining on the moon, and the weak willow is supporting the wind. With the grace and charm of Jiangnan smoke and rain. When she is older, she will be even more captivated. But he is Daiyu's guardian and has no other thoughts. Therefore, he was very calm in front of Daiyu.

Of course, it is not that his morals are high enough that color is the state of emptiness. Rather, his aesthetic is not quite the same as the mainstream aesthetic of the moment. The beauties he admires must be at least fifteen or sixteen years old. Daiyu is still young.

The relationship with Sister Bao is not counted in this list.

Lin Daiyu let out an "oh" in surprise, and her face was a little strange. She has two different marriage books in Jia Huan's hands. Or her father's handwriting. When she was in Yangzhou, she still wanted to ask Jia Huan in detail. But now, Jia Huan is in front of her, a girl's family, but she is ashamed to say it.

Zijuan and Jia Huan are familiar with each other, and interjected with a smile: "Third master, how do you know?" ”

Jia Huan smiled and said, "Di Bao." A few days ago, I saw a newspaper from the imperial court at the mountain chief's place. The eldest sister chose Fengzao Palace and was named Concubine Xiande. I told my uncle and asked him to speak to my eldest sister on my behalf, and let my eldest sister help me be a matchmaker. ”

Jia Yuanchun is in the deep palace, and the specific person who is in charge is Mrs. He, Wang Ziteng's wife.

Jia Yuanchun's selection of Fengzao Palace is a symbol of Jiafu, which symbolizes the last glory of Jiafu before it collapsed: flowers are blooming, and the fire is cooking.

At the same time, it is also a landmark event of the entire Red Mansion. It is the beginning of the most brilliant and splendid chapter of the Grand View Garden. The girls in the Red Mansion will shine with dazzling brilliance in the three years in the Grand View Garden, which is very charming.

And the Grand View Garden without Jia Huan is still the Grand View Garden. But Shaolin Daiyu's Grand View Garden is definitely incomplete.

However, Jia Huan is not a young man and will not return to the capital in advance in order to pursue the so-called integrity. He and Daiyu were to be brought to Jinling to the end of the thirteenth year of Yongzhi. In the first month of the thirteenth year of Yongzhi, Jia Yuanchun was provincial, and then it was activated.

Jia Huan counted the time in his heart.

It's already the end of November, and it's almost time for Jia Lian to go to the capital. It is about time for the Son of Heaven to allow the visit of relatives. Jiafuli is logically already preparing to build a provincial villa (Grand View Garden).

And without the one million taels of silver he has here, I wonder if the provincial villa in Jiafu can be built as exquisite and luxurious as in the original book?

When Jia Huan thought about this in his heart, he still had a bad taste. Although there was a million silver missing, he liquidated the Lai family, the biggest moth in Jiafu, saving at least one-fifth of the cost. Lai Da, Lai Sheng, two huge greed!

The servants of Jiafu, he cleaned up a small part, and forgave those people who didn't dare to blatantly use the big project of building the Grand View Garden to save money! Aren't you afraid that he will go home and check the accounts?

There is no doubt that Jiafuli must give priority to ensuring the face of the project. Then, by the way, Jia Yu and Jia Lian will have less money to be greedy for. After two years, he will return to Jiafu, and there will inevitably be a lawsuit to fight with Jia Yu.

Perhaps the letter asking him for money was already on the way.

These are all small things, the point is that he was named on the Spring Gold List in the fourteenth year of Yongzhi, whether it was too late to let Jiafu avoid the catastrophe? Now he can do a limited amount of what he can do, studying hard and getting the Jinshi to get the right to speak is the key.

Jia Huan's train of thought was erratic. Aunt Pei in the corridor and several people covered their mouths and chuckled. The third master said that his engagement was too frank and ridiculous. How can there be a reason to manage your own marriage?

Jia Huan smiled, didn't care, and led everyone to move forward. Qian Huai came to report in front of him, occupied the space in the Shengqi Building, and arranged it properly, so he could go to rest.

Shengqilou has an allusion to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da playing chess in the Ming Dynasty. The building overlooks Mochou Lake, and the view is excellent. In winter, there was no one, Qian Huai took Jia Huan's identity and silver and said to the guard's messenger, and laid a screen on the second floor, put on the pastries and hot tea, and rested a little.

Jia Huan, Daiyu, Qingwen, Ruyi, Aunt Pei, Zijuan, and Raiden sat around the tables and chairs set up on the second floor, drinking hot tea and gossiping. Outside the building, the smoke is vast, and the lake is like a smooth mirror.

Outside the screen, Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi were guarding with two servants.

As he spoke, there was a commotion outside. "Slow down, it's been contracted for our third master here." It sounded like Qian Huai's voice.

"Jokes, where did the splashes come from? Shengqilou is the property of the government. Tell your master to come out and speak. Quickly clear the scene, my third lady and friends are about to come over to rest. ”

"Hmph, is my third master the one you can see if you want to? Which house are you? ”

Jia Huan put down the teacup in his hand and was speechless for a while. Did you encounter something when you went out? Qingwen and Ruyi looked at each other inquiringly.

Jia Huan gently patted the back of Ruyi's hand, got up and said, "Sister Lin, you sit for a while, I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Hmm." Lin Daiyu was thinking about her feelings. Confused answered.

Jia Huan walked out from behind the screen and saw Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi confronting a middle-aged man, arguing with each other.

"Third master, you're out." Qian Huai walked a few steps briskly and came from the staircase.

"Whose slave is this?" Jia Huan asked. He is still very confident. It's not that he has confidence as a lifter, but because of his relationship network with the Jia family.

In Jinling City, the largest number of civil officials is six Shangshu. Among them, Zhao Shangshu, the secretary of Nanjing, was the leader. Of the six Shangshu, he knew two: Grandmaster Fang and Hubu Shangshu Weihong. Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, was recommended by Wang Ziteng to re-emerge, which is equivalent to being a benefactor.

Of course, he didn't know the boss of the military commander system, the Nanjing garrison. However, this position has always been held by honorable nobles. With the status of the founding prince of the Jia family, most of them can be climbed.

In addition, the Jia family and the Zhen family, the largest family in Jinling City, are family friends and old relatives. Although Jia Huan can't wait to stay away from the Zhen family, this big landmine. However, with the current friendship between the two families, he has something to ask the Zhen family for help, and the Zhen family wants to give face.

Qian Huai said: "The servant of the Zhen family." ”

The middle-aged man, Steward Huang, raised his chin proudly and squinted at Jia Huan, "You are a child of the Jia family?" In Jinling City, it's not our Zhen family who is taking care of it. The third lady of my family is coming soon, you know each other, get out immediately. It's a big fuss, and the faces of the two families are not good-looking. ”

Jia Huan frowned slightly, feeling nauseous like eating a fly in his heart. He was still thinking that the Zhen family could help him just now. It turns out that the descendants of the Zhen family treat the children of the Jia family like this! The Zhen family is quite arrogant in private!

Jia Huan glanced at Steward Huang coldly, and shouted: "Go and tell the third lady of your family: Jia Huan is here." With his hand raised, he pointed to the door and said, "You can get out now!" ”

Steward Huang glanced at Jia Huan a few times, hesitated a few times, and finally went downstairs with the two servants beside him.

He knew Jia Huan's name.

…

Jia Huan scolded the yellow steward who came to entangle, returned to the screen, and talked to the women, and after a while, he heard footsteps outside. Then I saw Miss Zhen San come in with her personal maid.

She was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a pretty face, wearing a jasper-colored cotton jacket and a white cloak. Very beautiful girl.

Zhen Yi gave Jia Huan a salute, a very standard etiquette, and he was generous: "I've seen Brother Huan." Fang Cai's slave doesn't know that Brother Huan is here, how offended he is, please forgive me! I have taken my seat with my sisters in the tulip hall. ”

She knows Jia Huan's connections very well. The eldest brother told her. 's father also asked his eldest brother to make friends with Jia Huan.

However, with the status of the Zhen family, it is just good to be good with Jia Huan, and he is not afraid of him. Moreover, with the friendship of the two families, the slave's offense did not require her to apologize. She will come here, it is the emotion in her heart.

At the end of August, Jia Huan came to Zhen's house, she stopped Jia Huan and asked for an explanation, and Jia Huan fooled him. She didn't mean to look down on him in her heart. But what about now? The Zhen family wants to be friends with people, how can she look down on them?

Jia Huan was deeply impressed by Miss Zhen San. Whoever stops asks: Why did you refuse to marry me? will be impressed. But the senses are average, a bit like an overspoiled official lady.

Jia Huan said lightly: "It's just a small misunderstanding." So be it! ”

Seeing Jia Huan's indifferent tone, Zhen Yi pursed his delicate lips, glanced at the ladies at the table, and his eyes fell on Daiyu's face. Obviously, he respected this girl in his seat, and said, "Brother Huan, won't you introduce me to it?" Our two families are world friends. ”

Zhen Yi's maid chuckled. The girl is losing her temper.

Jia Huan said: "This is my cousin. Although he said that he called Daiyu "Sister Lin", this was called with the third sister Tanchun. In fact, Tanchun also called Daiyu "Lin girl". In terms of age, he is one year older than Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu got up and saluted slightly.

Zhen Yi returned a salute, and then said: "The name of Brother Huan's poetry has spread all over the world, and I told my sisters to come and ask for poetry, and I also asked Brother Huan to give advice." ”

Jia Huan suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to alienate the Zhen family. His original intention was to alienate the Zhen family. But in my mind, I still have the Zhen family as a power that can be borrowed. And today, he is very dissatisfied with the attitude of the slave of the Zhen family. Autumn is known as soon as the leaves fall! If dignity is needed in exchange for help, forget it. No slaughterer, no hairy pigs.

Jia Huan's expression was cold, and he recited casually: "If you want to compare Xizi to Mo Chou, it is difficult to judge right and wrong to Yanbo." But Jue Xihu lost, and Jiang Fanyun shot Yunfei outside. Miss Zhen, can you go? ”

"You..." Zhen Yi glared at Jia Huan hatefully, and left with the maid in a huff. (To be continued.) )
