At the beginning of July in the tenth year of Guangde, it was rainy and rainy for several days, but it also relieved some of the summer heat, which made the people of the capital feel a lot more relaxed.
Only the hundreds of craftsmen in the Rongguo Provincial Provincial Courtyard were all complaining. A dozen or so, and the rest are complaining constantly.
Seeing that the construction period would be missed at this rate, Jia Zhen and Wang Xifeng hurriedly made a wave of reward money, and the craftsmen could be considered to have stopped.
However, as a result, the cost of building the garden has more than doubled over the budget. Even Wang Xifeng, who is so accustomed to spending a lot of money, is always terrified when he sees the astronomical figures on the account.
But at present, more than 80% of this provincial courtyard has been repaired, and the rest are mostly 'face projects', which cannot be reduced.
No choice, the several masters of Jia's house could only grit their teeth and hold on, filling in the old money they had accumulated over the years.
Of course, these 'worldly things' will not affect all the Yingyingyanyan, wealthy and idle people in the Rongguo Mansion.
In the early morning of the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, seeing the rain outside getting tighter and tighter, Lin Daiyu stayed in the house while playing with needlework and chatting with Zijuan.
While talking about the gossip of the sisters, I suddenly heard a crisp sound outside, and then Xue Yan and Chun Xian screamed:
"Second Master Bao, it's raining so hard, why did you come here again?"
"Yeah, look at this clothes are soaking wet, if there is something good or bad, how can we handle it?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Jia Baoyu said it was okay, but he had already entered the room on his own, and complained without a mouthful: "I originally heard that Second Brother Sun is here, so I went over to look for him, but who knew that he even had the roots of his feet. Before I could stand still, I went to the Feng Mansion with my second brother Lian to congratulate me, and I was in vain, so I had no choice but to come to find Sister Fiao'er to relieve my boredom."
In recent days, because Ruan Rong has been hurt so badly that he couldn't eat and sleep well every day, Sun Shaozong had no intention of being distracted.
Therefore, the 'martial arts class' in the Rongguo Mansion naturally stopped, and the others paid it back. Only Baoyu couldn't hear the latest progress of the case, and he scratched his ears and cheeks like a monkey all day.
"Co-authoring is the one who amuses you and relieves your boredom?"
Lin Daiyu was sulking, but she hurriedly called Xueyan and Chunxian to make hot tea and Baoyu to keep warm, and then let Zijuan wait and let him take off his wet coat.
That Baoyu was frizzy, here Zijuan was unbuttoning the buttons, and when he saw Lin Daiyu's embroidery on the table, he leaned forward and grabbed it, and said with a smile, "This red and beautiful handkerchief looks like a It's festive, did you embroider it for me?"
"Bah~ Look at your eyes!"
Lin Daiyu spat: "What kind of handkerchief, that's a child's apron, I specially embroidered it for Sister Rong - give it back to me, don't get it dirty!"
Hearing that it was a child's apron, Baoyu put it back embarrassingly, and let Zijuan take off his coat, but suddenly he bowed to the apron again, and said with words: "Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha will definitely bless Sister Rong. If you want to give birth to a well-behaved daughter, don't let that 'men and brows' contaminate the efforts of Sister Fiao'er."
"you!"
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was really annoyed. Although she was still young, she also knew that if the concubine wanted to be honored and favored, the most important thing was to give birth to a son.
What's more, this is the eldest son of the Sun family!
But now Baoyu asks for the blessing of the Buddha to let Ruan Rong give birth to a daughter, because she is afraid that the boy will stain the bellyband...
As soon as the silver teeth were bitten, Lin Daiyu suddenly took out a pair of scissors from the dustpan, and with a click, she made a big gap in the belly pocket!
Baoyu was taken aback and said in shock, "What is your sister doing? How can you just cut something so good?!"
Lin Daiyu ignored him, and cut the apron into pieces, and threw it on the ground angrily. Only then did she calm down a little.
Looking back at Jia Baoyu again, seeing that he still looks ignorant, obviously not knowing where he is wrong, and thinking about how he always likes to belittle men on weekdays, I'm afraid he may not be able to think of that much.
So I didn't bother to tell him about it, so I just changed the subject bluntly: "Normally, when an official comes to the house, please don't let you go, how come you look for the second brother Sun as soon as he arrives? ?"
Jia Baoyu didn't see what she was thinking at all, and when she suddenly asked about it, she said, "I didn't go for his official uniform, what I love is his ability to break down cause and effect for others! "
"Abandon cause and effect?"
"Yeah, it's because of the incompetence of those national thieves and ghosts that there are many more unjust ghosts and ghosts in the world. Second Brother Sun found out the truth and cut off the cause and effect of those unjust ghosts and ghosts from the root. I'm afraid it would be better than hiring a hundred monks and Taoists. It's more than ten times stronger!"
After speaking, Baoyu's eyes lit up again and said, "If I can learn this kind of skill, I won't need any official position in the future, as long as I hear that there is any grievance, I will go and make a clear cut with the person, and then I will wash my clothes away and deeply. Wouldn't it be pleasant and beautiful to hide and be famous?!"
Lin Daiyu heard what he said was interesting, and couldn't help but think about it together with him, but she had long forgotten her grievances.
-Dividing line-
Jia Lian opened the carriage window, and seeing the rain pouring down outside, changed the color of the world, and couldn't help complaining: "How did Lao Feng choose the day, the bride is afraid that she will shower first before getting off the sedan chair. Is it the chicken in soup?"
Because of an incense love affair on the canal, coupled with Sun Shaozong's face, he agreed to go to Feng Xin's mansion to support the scene. Who knows, he has caught up with such weather, and now he has regretted his bowels.
Sun Shaozong smiled and said leisurely: "I see a lot of neat brides. When has the second brother seen a chicken in soup - just for this scene, we have to go and have a look, right?"
Jia Lian thought about it too, and thought that although the daughter of Kong Li was born, she was known as a talented girl, and her body and appearance were not bad, if she was wet...
The more I thought about it, the more restless I became, I couldn't help urging the driver to speed up, so as not to miss the scene of the bride getting off the sedan chair.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the speed of the car suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped in the middle of the road.
"Why did it stop?!"
Jia Lian opened the tarpaulin curtain and asked in dissatisfaction, only to see Bao Er pointed to the opposite side and screamed, "Kill... kill kill kill!"
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong also hurriedly probed out to take a look, but saw that the carriage was crooked across the road, and the servant who was driving was leaning on the carriage.
