The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 123 Worry
Seeing that they all approved of his arrangement, Mu Xu smiled with satisfaction and continued talking about other plans.He first said to Jia Lian, "Your official position will not change. You will still be in charge of money affairs."

Jia Lian nodded understandingly. His official position was promoted too quickly before, but now it is better, and it will not be so eye-catching, which will attract people's envy again.

After talking about Jia Lian, Mu Xu talked about Feng and Liu again, "Ziying, I will recommend you as the co-prefect of Beizhen Fusi to continue to be in charge of intelligence work. As for Brother Liu, you are still Qianhu, but you are only in charge of Qianhu. , don’t dislike me for not giving you a promotion.”

Liu Xianglian replied with a smile, "What do you mean by my lord? I'm not such a ignorant person. If you really think that way, everyone will laugh at me for being blind."

The rest of the people laughed along, they were not stupid, even though Qianhu was only half a level higher than Qianhu, but the power in their hands was quite different.In charge of punishing thousands of households can not only supervise the various thousand households, but also be responsible for coordinating the relationship between Beizhen Fusi and its subordinate institutions.Just like Jia Lian, at this time, he was very envious of Liu Xianglian. If possible, he was even willing to exchange his work from the third rank for the punishment of Qianhu from the fourth rank.

After talking about the few people, Mu Xu thought of Han Qi and Wei Ruolan again. They also joined when he rebuilt the Embroidery Guard.Besides, now that he is leaving Xiuyiwei, he naturally wants to promote more of his own people. Even if he said to Feng Ziying,
"Go back and ask Han Qi and Wei Ruolan. I want to promote them to become Qianhu, but in this case, they will have to leave the capital. You can ask them what they think. If you agree, please tell me later, and I will help them again." arrange."

Feng Ziying laughed, "Ruolan is hard to say, but Han Qi must be willing."

Mu Xu couldn't help being surprised, "Why is Ruolan hard to say?"

Feng Ziying looked at Jia Lian, "Second Brother Lian, I'll let you explain to my lord."

"What am I explaining?" Jia Lian said in a daze, "I don't know anything about Brother Wei either!"

Seeing that he really looked ignorant, Feng Ziying asked curiously, "Don't your family know about it? But I heard from Baoyu that Miss Smith often goes to live with your parents."

Mu Xu's heart moved, and he already knew what Feng Ziying said, but Jia Lian was still confused. He frowned and said, "You are talking about the grandniece of our old lady's natal family. What does this have to do with her?"

"That's a big relationship. Ruolan got engaged to her last month. I heard from Ruolan that she was the matchmaker of Concubine Nan'an." Feng Ziying explained with a smile,
"That's why I said that Ruolan is not sure whether she wants to leave Beijing or not."

Jia Lian understood the relationship and said, "Then why don't you want to leave Beijing? The historian's cousin has waited for Jiji for two years." Although he said this, he felt that something was wrong in his heart. But he couldn't tell Mu Xu about this matter.However, there was a trace of strangeness on his face. Fortunately, when Mu Xu spoke, no one noticed.

It turned out that Mu Xu saw that the words of the few people became less and less like it, so he stopped them immediately, "Stop it, there is no one who talks about other women's family members behind their backs, let alone Ruolan's daughter-in-law who has never been married." The few people stopped talking.

At noon, after Mu Xu left several people to have a vegetarian meal together, they said their goodbyes and left.

But after Jia Lian returned to the mansion, he sat in the room thinking about Shi Xiangyun, and didn't even notice Wang Xifeng came in.Wang Xifeng saw that he looked out of control, so she came to him and pinched him, Jia Lian came back to her senses, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so crazy, mother?"

Wang Xifeng was not afraid of him, and immediately replied, "I haven't asked you yet, what kind of vixen am I thinking of, didn't I say that I went to Dongping Palace, why does my body smell like alcohol?"

"You woman, it's unreasonable. The family's son left me the wine. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out yourself. Also, don't talk nonsense and cause trouble. It's the time of national mourning, and today we eat vegetarian wine " Jia Lian looked very stiff, but still explained, "I want to get down to business, let me ask you, I heard that the old lady wanted to tell Baoyu about her cousin Shijia, is there such a thing?"

Wang Xifeng was stunned, "Why do you mention this for no reason, why do you bother with the second room's business?"

"Just tell me if you have, I naturally have my reasons."

Seeing that what he said was serious, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to reply, "There is such a thing. In order to facilitate them, the old lady even brought that girl from Xiangyun here, and she has been staying there for several days. If it wasn't for the national funeral, I can't discuss marriage within a year, I think it will be done, but is there anything wrong?"

Jia Lian patted his thigh, "Not only is it inappropriate, this matter is going to spread, and Rongguo Mansion will be ashamed." Then he explained the reason to Wang Xifeng,
"That girl in Xiangyun is already engaged to the young master of Wei Bo's family. You said that if you let outsiders know, how will the people in Beijing think of our family when the old lady comes? How will I see Wei Ruolan in the future? Isn't this letting me sit on wax!"

Wang Xifeng was also taken aback, and dared not answer, "You're not talking nonsense? But Xiangyun has been here for a while, why haven't I heard her talk about it?"

Jia Lian smiled wryly, "I heard Feng Ziying say it with my own ears. Not long after the second sister got married, both of them got engaged, and Concubine Nan'an was the matchmaker. How can this matter be faked?" After a pause, he complained again.
"It's all because of Baoyu, the villain. Our family almost offended the Dongping Palace because of Sister Lin before. Now it's because of him, the old lady did this."

After hearing his complaint, Wang Xifeng also said angrily, "This Xiangyun is too, and I can't explain such a big matter clearly." As she spoke, her complexion became ugly,
"Even if there is no old lady who wants to discuss marriage, this matter will be bad. You don't walk around the back house, so you don't know. Baoyu and Xiangyun are tired of being together all day long, and that girl Xiangyun was wearing Baoyu a few days ago." clothes, and I heard that they often do needlework for Baoyu."

With a "bang", Jia Lian slammed down the table angrily, and cursed angrily, "The servants in our family are so virtuous, as long as someone from the Weibo Mansion sends someone to inquire about it, they will know everything. This is not for revenge. Is it? I'm still working with Wei Ruolan in Xiuyiwei, so how will I behave in the future!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't bear it anymore, got up and was about to go out, Wang Xifeng hurriedly grabbed him, "Why are you going?"

Jia Lian replied impatiently, "What else can I do, go find the old lady."

Who would have thought that Wang Xifeng would push him on the chair, "You will only quarrel with the old lady if you go, so let me go." After finishing speaking, he ignored Jia Lian and walked out.

When Wang Xifeng came to Rongxi Hall, Mother Jia had just woken up from a nap and was joking with Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Tanchun.Seeing her coming, Mother Jia smiled and asked, "Didn't you say you were going back for a rest? Why are you here again?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at the playful Baoyu and Xiangyun, and replied with a smile, "Isn't this a difficult matter, so I wanted to ask the old lady for advice."

Jia Mu didn't take it seriously, and said casually, "Just say what you want." But she didn't see her for a long time, so she couldn't help asking, "But Baoyu and the others are not suitable for listening?"

Wang Xifeng nodded lightly, but Mother Jia didn't say anything, she just signaled Jia Baoyu and the others to go out to play, but Shi Xiangyun said, "What's wrong with Sister Feng, I can't tell her face to face, she's so mysterious."

Tanchun was still winking, pulled her up and said, "Stop complaining, the second sister-in-law must have something serious, let's go out, don't you want to see the second brother make rouge, isn't it just right now."

As soon as Tanchun talked about the rouge he made, Jia Baoyu immediately became proud, and showed off to Shi Xiangyun, "Third sister is right, let me tell you, the rouge I made not only looks good in color, but also does not hurt the skin." Woolen cloth!"

When Shi Xiangyun heard the words, he was indeed attracted attention, and immediately clamored to try it, and the three of them walked out talking and laughing.
