Classic Villain Rescue Station

Although Xia Shouzhong and the others had some doubts about the delay in the small courtyard for so long, they were soon disturbed by the 200 taels of silver that Xue Pan sent to their door.The wealth of the Xue family is not only spread in the official circles, but even among the eunuchs in the palace, it is a coveted piece of fat.

To be honest, when Xue Baochai came to Beijing to participate in the election, it was because of her ambition to enter the palace and serve as a backer for the Xue family. This backer may not be like that of Jia Yuanchun, she mainly went to establish contacts with the speaker .Of course, although the chances are slim, Xue Baochai may not have no intention of soaring to the sky, but this can only be done by chance, not by force.

However, Mrs. Wang can't bet on this chance. If Xue Baochai got such shit luck, where would Jia Yuanchun be placed? How could her niece be compared with her own daughter? , Xue's side is working hard, and Jia's side must be secretly poking the tires behind their backs.Xia Shouzhong is the powerful eunuch who is most familiar with the Jia family. He was probably quite depressed during the draft. We weighed gains and losses again and again, but in the end, he completely fell to the side of power.

Of course, Xia Shouzhong was still thankful for his original choice until now when he received the gift-giving job for the Dragon Boat Festival. In addition, Xue Pan took the initiative to sell it this time. This windfall made him feel lucky that he chose Jia's before, and even more so. Strengthened the belief that power is greater than money.Xia Shouzhong, who was walking at the front, couldn't help feeling complacent, this errand was handled like a spring breeze.

…………

Not to mention how solemnly the Rongguo Mansion set up the incense table to receive the reward, Xia Shouzhong spread the gift boxes all over the main hall, handed over 120 taels of silver, and told Jia Zhen who came in a hurry to arrange the Qingxu Temple's funeral. After the incident, he took the reward and led a group of followers back to the palace contentedly.

And all the masters of Jia's mansion felt honorable, and their excitement was undisguised. Even the maids and maids also raised their heads and chests up, and only Mrs. Wang's emotions were a bit out of place here, intertwined with anxiety and excitement. However, people showed an unusual calmness.

After hearing a lot of good words, Jiamu ordered the people below to open all the gift boxes. Yuanyang had already cleverly ordered the boxes to be sorted and placed. She knew Jiamu's preferences best and led her to see Jia Baoyu's gift box first. One copy, followed by Wang Xifeng, took a post that was sealed on the cover and handed it to Caiming beside him. After Caiming unfolded, he began to read: "Two high-quality palace fans, two strings of musk and red bead bracelets, three high-quality silk and satin bracelets. Zhang, a mat with lotus pattern."

Jia Mu was so happy that she said "Yes" three times, and then asked, "Where is Baoyu?"

The mandarin duck at the side spoke up: "Don't you remember that when Second Master Bao came to say hello early in the morning, he said that he had an appointment with a friend at noon."

Then Jia Mu remembered: "My memory is getting worse and worse. Let's go to his room and call for someone to pick it up later, so that Baoyu will not have to make a special trip."

The next thing I looked at was the gift boxes of Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang. Naturally, a junior like Jia Baoyu cannot surpass his own elders, so the basic gifts are the same as Jia Baoyu. In addition, Jia Mu added an amber oily Ruyi with a mellow woody fragrance, and a silk-bound bamboo pillow inlaid with amber agate slices.Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's presents were the same, without Jia's mother's agate and bamboo pillow, and even Ruyi was light brown, without any special smell.

Jia She likes fans the most, and before anyone else has done it, he has already picked out his own fan from a box of his own.The fans Jia Yuanchun sent were also thoughtful, the men's were folding fans, and the women's were round fans, both of which were made of satin cover.Jia Amnesty first praised the crow-blue silver silk embroidered bamboo fan cover, then took out the folding fan and unfolded it. What caught his eyes was the picture of picking lotuses on the front, and his eyes lit up: "Although there is a little ancient charm, but The composition is exquisite and full of wit and wit, especially the little fishing boat in the blue waves, with a fisherwoman swaying faintly on it, it is simply the finishing touch, and it can be handed down in time."

Jia Lian, who was only one Mrs. Xing away from him, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw his father's mesmerized look, and then reminded him, "Master, there are turtles."

Jia She was stunned for a moment, then searched inch by inch, and said with a bit of annoyance: "Nonsense, there are no turtles."

Jia Lian quickly explained: "It's not the side you're looking at, it's the other side."

"The reverse side?" Jia Amnesty turned the side according to his meaning, and was the first to notice the good calligraphy on the reverse side. The inscription was Wang Changling's "The Song of Picking Lotus". Open. I can’t see it in the pool, but I feel someone coming when I hear the song.” Before I had time to praise the appropriateness of the poem and the charm of the words, I saw the simple turtle with its teeth and claws next to the inscription seal, and its face turned black. “This, this, this This, who did this?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already stretched out his hand to remove another fan. This was a picture of plum blossoms in snow and winter, with Li Gongming's "Early Plum Blossoms" mentioned behind it, and the same turtle on the signature seal made people's eyes hurt.Seeing this, Mrs. Xing, who was next to her, couldn't care less about being reserved, and took out two round fans from her box. The round fans belonged to the inscription on the picture, and there was also a very familiar turtle painted next to the seal after the inscription.

The masters of Jia's mansion immediately looked at each other in dismay, and the servants picked out the fans in each box and opened them, and they all saw the turtle of the same style.

There was silence, the scene was awkward, almost everyone was secretly poking at Mrs. Wang whose expression was changing, because as far as they knew, she was the last one who handed over the sign allowing her to enter the palace to meet Jia Yuanchun.Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Jia Zheng naturally took the lead to ask, "What's the meaning?"

How could Mrs. Wang know that if it is said that this is a secret signal passed by her own daughter, there is no need to draw it everywhere.She faltered for a while, and finally came up with an explanation: "It's not that the empress feels lonely around her and misses her family often, so she hopes that each of us will respect a tortoise. On the one hand, the empress can relieve loneliness, and on the other hand. On the one hand, seeing each tortoise is like meeting family."

The Jia family all twitched their mouths, and they had to be convinced by the head wife's powerful analytical ability. Jia Amnesty spoke up first, and sneered: "The second wife is taking it for granted, this turtle is kept there silently, how can I resolve it?" What's deserted, if my lady really wants it, it's better to have a cat or a dog than a turtle, isn't it?"

Mrs. Xing also followed closely: "That's the reason, not to mention seeing a tortoise is like seeing a family member. According to this, what have we become?"

The servants and maids who heard them all lowered their heads and tried their best to hold back their laughter. Although Jia Mu didn't want to see the eldest daughter-in-law, she also stood by her side this time: "Yes, that's not the meaning. The lady is such a noble person. She raises turtles. It's a shame you figured it out."

Jia Zheng jumped out to echo his mother: "Stupid woman, think about it quickly, what did she say the last time I saw my mother!"

Mrs. Wang stopped talking, and shrank to the side to act as a meditator.Wang Xifeng on the side stared at her own round fan for a while, then rolled her eyes and said, "In my opinion, we should think too much. Isn't the tortoise the representative of health and longevity? The empress's intention may be pure blessing. I hope that everyone in the Jia family will be healthy and live a long life, especially you, the ancestor of our family, you are our family's pillar of the sky and clouds, and the purple beam of the sea, and the empress hopes to see you in a long and healthy life."

After she said this, everyone's expressions relaxed a lot. There has always been a tradition of making longevity turtles into ornaments and trinkets to honor the elders. Mother Jia also felt that this statement should be more appropriate, so she laughed and scolded: "You monkey It’s fine, it’s as if your mouth has been smeared with honey, if you don’t get angry with me one by one, I’ll be Amitabha.”

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang didn't deal with each other, and of course she didn't want to see her cheap daughter-in-law. When the atmosphere eased a bit, she poured cold water on it: "What Lian's daughter-in-law said is not reasonable, my mother wishes us elders health and longevity. Let’s just say it makes sense, but it’s unreasonable to have such expectations for sister-in-law brothers and sisters, I think this tortoise signature must have other intentions.”

The scene became cold again because of her words. Although Jia's mother felt that Mrs. Xing's words were reasonable, her rare mood of getting better was broken again. She could be happy, so she scolded unreasonably: "Just treat me like an old man. I can't live up to the expectations of health and longevity, black-hearted and rotten-hearted, chasing cleverness all day long, never expecting me to be good, but the truth is a series of truths, and I have no filial piety at all."

The scolding was so severe that Mrs. Xing's eye circles turned red all of a sudden.Although Jia Amnesty didn't want to see this wife, he still opened his mouth: "Old..."

After only one word, Jia's mother stopped the conversation: "What's the matter, I'm old and confused. You two are smart, and your wife is smart enough to see through. I want to hear it. It's not right. No, what tricks can come out of your mouths."

Jia Amnesty was scolded and shrank back, Madam Xing retreated even further, Jia Zheng's elm head couldn't turn around, Madam Wang's heart was in a mess, Wang Xifeng only cared about placating Jia's mother's emotions by being good-looking, and Jia Lian was doing nothing. It doesn't matter whether she hangs up high, as for Li Wan, who is like a transparent person, she has never had a place to talk.

In fact, Jia's mother is also a habit of venting anger. She has always been nervous and nervous about the meaning from the palace, and it has become a habit to try to figure out the meaning.In addition, as Jia Baoyu got older, the differences between her and Mrs. Wang on his marriage gradually emerged. She was afraid that the second daughter-in-law would go to the palace to rescue soldiers and destroy her plan, so she was baffled by Jia Yuanchun's ceremony. The added information is extra sensitive.
