Outside Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian hurriedly dismounted his horse and then ran into the mansion.
He paid no attention to anyone along the way, went straight back to his residence, and found his wife who was tracing flowers.
That's right, Wang Xifeng, who has been "unemployed", is now staying at home to draw flowers and embroider, and has become a person who also needs a monthly salary.
"Oh... you can sit down, it's really hard to say!"
Seeing Jia Lian come back, Wang Xifeng immediately put down his pen, raised his head and asked: "How is the news?"
"Uh... I've already heard about it. Sister Xue has already passed the primary election. Now we just have to wait for the re-election by the Shangyi Bureau, and then the Empress will kiss her!"
Nodding, Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Auntie was worried about this matter and asked us to find out the news. Now that she has passed the primary election... she can finally feel at ease!"
Now that Xue Pan is away, Aunt Xue can only rely on relatives, so she approached Wang Xifeng and asked Jia Lian to help find out.
After saying that, Wang Xifeng got up from the chair and went to Lixiangyuan to deliver the news.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lian said: "Although they have passed the primary election, I also asked specifically... The fifty people who passed the primary election this time are mostly daughters of noble families in Beijing. Sister Xue does not have much advantage!"
"In a noble family, those civil servants don't want to curry favor with the princess?" Wang Xifeng asked curiously.
"They want to curry favor, but I am a noble and a fellow countryman, so there is no chance for them to reach out!"
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh: "Every family has really put in a lot of effort to have a princess as an attendant!"
Jia Lian replied: "Everyone wants to have a relationship with the Tian family. Only in the future will anyone speak up. It's just human nature!"
Wang Xifeng said helplessly: "Oh...I don't care about other families. I'm only worried about Sister Xue!"
After saying that, she took a step to walk out, but was held back by Jia Lian.
"Listen to what I have to say..." Jia Lian said with a smile.
After glaring at Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "If you fart, hurry up..."
"I happened to meet Brother Lu today, and from him... I got new news!"
"What's new?"
"Sister Xue and her family saved Master Thirteenth's life in Jinling!"
Speaking of this, Jia Lian sighed: "No wonder that fool Xue fell in love with the Thirteenth Master and even sent him an errand!"
Speaking of Xue Pan, Jia Lian was very angry. He had gone to Jinling in advance, but he had been harmed by this guy.
Even after Xue Pan and he found many girls to apologize, Jia Lian, who was having fun, could not forgive him.
"If the Thirteenth Master can help with the Xue family's affairs, it is still possible to be selected as an attendant!"
"That's actually what happened!" Wang Xifeng was also surprised.
Although the Jia family married Yuan Chun and entered the royal family, they actually did not get any glory at all, but Wang Xifeng did not expect that the Xue family would have such good fortune.
"It seems that Sister Xue will not be easy in the future. I have to establish a good relationship with her!" Wang Xifeng murmured in a low voice.
After saying this, Wang Xifeng rushed to Lixiangyuan with a few girls without delay.
"Is aunt here?"
"Go back to Second Mistress, our wife has gone to see Second Mistress, only our girl is here!"
Now Jia Sheyifang is in power, and he has also changed the name of the mansion on the pretext of rectifying the rules and regulations.
Now in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She is the master and Jia Zheng is the second master, and he has restored his proper dignity.
"I have good news, it's the same when I meet you girls!"
After saying this, Wang Xifeng walked into the house with a smile, and was led to the study by the girl.
After entering, she discovered that Baochai's place was really lively, not only Daiyu but also Sanchun was there to greet Tanxi.
The only missing person was Jia Baoyu, which made Wang Xifeng feel uncomfortable for a while.
"I asked you where did you go? It turned out that you were all staying here...could it be something fun?"
Walking to the center of the room, Wang Xifeng said in high spirits: "You are all hiding this from me... I'm afraid you don't trust my sister-in-law!"
At this time, Daiyu shook her fan, turned around and said, "Sister Feng, in the past we combined poems and composed poems, but you refused every time we asked you to do so. Now it's your fault that we don't invite you!"
In the past, she was reluctant to come, not only because Wang Xifeng really couldn't compose poems, but also because she had no time to spare.
Now that her power has been taken away, she has nothing to do alone, so she wants to play around with her sisters.
"Sister Lin, it was my fault. I will apologize to you!"
After saying this, Wang Xifeng saluted and bowed seriously, but Lin Daiyu got up and dodged, causing Yingchun and the other three people to burst into laughter.
At this time, Baochai came over, supported Wang Xifeng and said, "Sister Lin is so naughty. She has been pestering me these days and asking a lot of weird questions. She is really trivializing me!"
After hearing this, Daiyu walked to Yingchun's room and said with an aggrieved face: "But after drinking a few cups of tea from her, she just said these words to arrange me. Let's just come less often in the future!"
Helping Wang Xifeng to sit down, Baochai said helplessly: "Sister Feng, listen... what is she saying!"
After joking for a while, Wang Xifeng did not forget about business and said to Baochai: "Yesterday, my aunt told me to go to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the results of my sister's election!"
"Your second brother went early in the morning today. It took a lot of effort to find out that sister, you have passed the primary election. Maybe in the next two days... the Ministry of Rites will send someone to inform you of the time for the re-election!"
After hearing the news, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Thank you Sister Feng, Brother Lian for taking the trouble!"
Tanchun was the first to stand up and congratulate; "Congratulations to Sister Bao!"
Yingchun and Xichun also congratulated her, but Lin Daiyu was full of resentment and walked to Baochai and said: "Look... we will go to the palace in a few days, and you still don't cherish the days of playing with us! "
She said this half-jokingly and half-sincerely, because she was really reluctant to let Baochai leave. After all, the two of them chatted so well together.
Baochai smiled and said: "Don't worry...you can drink the tea here as you like, I won't drive you away!"
"That's pretty much it..."
Sitting back on the stool, Daiyu smiled and said, "That's where Feihua Ling just said, let's continue..."
The Yingying Yanyan was chatting and laughing in Lixiangyuan, and at this moment, a group of horses appeared outside Rongguo Mansion.
The first thing he saw was the eunuch. The young man guarding outside the palace gate did not dare to neglect and immediately rushed inside to report the situation.
The visitor is Deng An, and today he finally found an opportunity to come and fulfill Zhu Jinghong's instructions.
After dismounting, Deng An walked into Rongguo Mansion proudly. No one dared to stop him at this moment.
After entering the Weeping Flower Gate, Deng An stopped because he also needed someone to introduce him.
After a while, the person in charge, Jia She, rushed over and said humbly: "I didn't know that my father-in-law was here, and I missed you from afar. Please forgive me!"
Although he didn't know Deng An, Jia She also kept his attitude very low, even though he could tell from his clothes that he was not of high rank.
The eunuch left the palace and was full of confidence wherever he went. Deng An said calmly: "On the instructions of the Thirteenth Master, I came to the Xue family in Jinling for questioning!"
Sure enough, the background is not small... Jia She sighed inwardly.
Zhu Jinghong had helped the Jia family more than once. Jia She was naturally very grateful and immediately said with a smile: "The Xue family is in the Lixiangyuan of the mansion. I will personally take the father-in-law there?"
"Then it'll be hard work!" Deng An rarely smiled.
"Father-in-law, please!"
To be honest, Jia She placed his position too low, but this is also a reflection of his caution.
The relationships between the eunuchs in the palace are intricate, and it is best not to offend any of them, not to mention that Deng An is still someone close to Zhu Jinghong.
Leading Deng An to Lixiangyuan, Jia She said many words of gratitude along the way, hoping that Deng An would help convey his gratitude to Zhu Jinghong.
