The Red Mansions

Chapter 291 The old lady is dead

is talking.

Outside here, the servant girl announced that Li Wan had come.

"I just came back from there, what's going on with her now?" Jia Yun wondered.

Xue Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's go and have a look first!"

"If there's nothing urgent, I probably wouldn't come to see you in such a hurry."

The two came out of the bedroom and went to the outside room.

Soon, Li Wan came.

"The old lady hangs herself with ginseng soup these days." Li Wan said.

"There were some stocks at home, but they were all used up, and the remaining years were not available."

"So I had to come to you to find a way."

After hearing this, Jia Yun asked Qin Keqing to be summoned.

"Bring two hundred-year-old ginseng and let Li Wan take it back."

Li Wan hurriedly said: "Two are not enough, if you have more, take ten, I will pay you."

"Then go discuss it with Keqing, I don't care about it." Jia Yun smiled.

If it's just for Li Wan's use, he'll just give it away for nothing.

But the old lady uses it, and the money that should be collected should be collected.

Regardless of the fact that the Jia family is gone, it can only be said that it is Jia Zhengjia.

But the old lady still has a lot of silver at the bottom of the box.

If you really want to live the life of ordinary people, several generations will not be able to use it up.

Li Wan smiled and said: "As long as you agree, everything else is easy to talk about."

Ginseng is a thing that can hang people's lives. If it can be sold, it is considered a good relationship, and the cashier is serious.

Jia Yun nodded and asked again, "Are there any other difficulties at home?"

"Not yet, I will come to you for help if I have any." Li Wan shook his head and said.

After saying that, he bowed and retreated with Qin Keqing.

After they left, Xue Baochai said strangely:

"It is said that something happened to my aunt, and my cousin should be implicated."

"Why is she okay this time?"

Jia Yun pondered: "I don't know the inside story, it's quite complicated."

"Actually, not only your cousin, but even the Ningguo Mansion should not be kept."

"In my estimation, the four kings and eight princes made some kind of exchange to save the Ningguo Mansion."

"But even so, Jia Zhen has to give up the title to Brother Rong."

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "This matter is full of evil spirits."

"By the way, you said earlier that something happened to Baoyu, how is it now?"

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "That guy seems to have lost his soul now, he just wants to become a monk."

"It's embarrassing to say, just because someone in the troupe was betrayed, he became like this."

"Didn't he get along with Qiguan before? Why did he get involved with the troupe again?" Xue Baochai asked suspiciously.

Jia Yun replied: "I don't know, the ghost knows who he is dating with the troupe again."

……

The days of waiting have never been tough.

The closer the day of the palace examination is, the more eager the students who will pass the examination will be.

During this period, Jia Yun was also invited to participate in several literary meetings.

I didn't write any good articles either. The main purpose of everyone is to get to know each other.

From now on, these people will be of the same age, and they will be able to take care of each other in the officialdom.

The friendship of the same year and the friendship of the same family are very useful in this era.

Many times, even if we haven't seen each other for decades.

If there is something to ask for help, as long as it is not too outrageous, they will help each other.

Who can guarantee that his life will be smooth sailing?

Therefore, the same year of the same imperial examination can be regarded as an explosion of network expansion.

Jia Yun was no exception, and met elite students from all over the world.

Among these people, Jia Yun is the youngest, but he is the oldest official.

Although it is temporarily resigned now, it can be used again only after taking part in the palace examination.

Therefore, all the people are vaguely headed by him, and they are in the middle to connect with all parties.

In addition to participating in the literary conference, Jia Yun was also called into the palace once.

Mainly to discuss with the emperor where he will go in the future.

Right now, Jia Yun's success as a Jinshi is a certainty.

Therefore, he is also qualified to enter the core circle of the emperor's forces.

Many important things can be handed over to Jia Yun.

After all, although Jia Yun is young, her political achievements should not be underestimated and she is worthy of reuse.

And the current Jia Mansion is nothing but an empty shell.

As far as the emperor is concerned, it is important to keep the incense for Jia's mansion and reuse Jia Yun.

It can also let outsiders see that he is not without affection for Lao Xungui.

"Is it hot? It's only March, so it's so hot."

Xue Baochai helped Jia Yun change her clothes and said softly.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "It's a bit hot, but I can bear it."

After hesitating for a while, he said again: "After the imperial examination, I'm afraid my husband will be transferred to the Nine Sides to guard the border."

"Huh? When are you going?" Xue Baochai paused and asked hastily.

Jia Yun pondered and said: "It's hard to say, but we have to train one hundred thousand new troops in the capital first."

"Whenever the new army is formed, it will set off and go to Liaodong."

Xue Baochai frowned and said, "My husband is a civil servant, why is he a military officer again?"

"Not going to be a military officer, but still a civil servant, admiral of the army, protecting the environment and the people." Jia Yun said.

"There are two main tasks to go there for my husband."

"The first is to prevent the northern Tartars from blocking the border, and the second is to resettle the refugees from various provinces."

"As for the official position, we will not know until the decree comes down."

Xue Baochai murmured: "My husband, what do you mean, all the refugees from now on will be sent to Liaodong?"

"Well, that's what it means, so it's safe to train at least one hundred thousand elite troops." Jia Yun said.

"As for the soldiers on the nine sides, don't count on it. This is what the emperor meant."

He won't tell Xue Baochai about other things, but when it comes to the release, he must make it clear.

Because once he takes office, he will not bring his wife and children there, and the two must communicate with each other.

This is also a customary agreement, all important officials of the imperial court, their family scrolls will stay in the capital.

Of course, concubines and maids can still bring them.

Xue Baochai sighed: "Fortunately, at least I can stay in the capital for a long time."

An army of 10 people cannot be formed in a short while.

If it is fast, it will take a year, if it is slow, it will take several years.

So although Xue Baochai was reluctant, she was not in a hurry.

Jia Yun nodded and smiled, "I'll tell you about this, don't tell it."

"Well, the slave family will definitely not talk nonsense, not even the sisters in the family." Xue Baochai nodded.

While talking, Xiren arrived in a panic with a group of servant girls.

"Master, the big thing is not good, the old lady is gone." Xi Ren said quickly.

Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"Just now Suyun came to deliver a message, the old lady woke up this morning." Xi Ren said.

"Not long ago, after hearing what happened to Jia's mansion, he vomited blood and died."

Xue Baochai sighed after hearing the words: "Being dead is better than living sadly."

Jia Yun nodded and said: "She has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in her life, and it is worth it."

"Husband should go and have a look." Xue Baochai reminded.

Jia Yun murmured, "Don't rush over there, the mourning hall over there probably hasn't been set up yet!"
