The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Seeing that the misunderstanding was gone, Mrs. Wang kept saying that she wanted to see Baoyu, so she hurriedly asked someone to pick up Baoyu. Seeing Baoyu rolling in Jiamu's arms, she was very relieved when she was called by Jiamu heartily. Some said submissively: "Old ancestor, Miss Yun hasn't come here for more than half a year. I heard Baoyu mention her before."

Baoyu was at the age of ignorance, but when Mrs. Wang said it, she immediately called Sister Yun and asked Jia Mu to send someone to bring Shi Xiangyun over.

Mother Jia wondered why Mrs. Wang didn't like Shi Xiangyun before, so why did she wake up now?I sneered in my heart that Mrs. Wang was picking on Shi Xiangyun earlier, but now she finally understands that it is her turn to pick her, so Baoyu's two nanny Zhang Nai Niang and Wang Nai Niang led a dozen people to pick her up, and then asked someone to pick her up from the east. At noon, Yingchun, who lived in the back, intentionally refused to invite, and only kept Yuanchun and Baoyu, and invited Tanchun, and asked the three in the second room to accompany her for dinner, and even asked Mrs. Wang to give Baoyu a new gift. Baoyu still lives in her room.

After noon, Mother Jia asked Yuan Chun, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan to go back to the east garden to rest. They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when they didn't see the person who picked up Shi Xiangyun. Jia's family, because of their natal nephew's behavior, felt a little unhappy. They took Baoyu to play on the kang for a while, and suddenly said to Amber, "Go and see what Second Master Lian is doing. If he is idle, Just call him, I have something to say." Since he knew that most of the things fell into Jia Lian's hands, he would have to get them back no matter what; then Jia's amnesty might not be clean, but he was sick and crooked, so it's not easy to force him directly. , so as not to force out the disease again.

Hu Po agreed to go out, came back after a while, and said to Jia Mu: "The boy at the door said that he saw Zhao Mama and his wife entering Jinghuan Zhai excitedly, and Quan Fu and others, all making a fuss It's called Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong brothers to treat them."

Mother Jia was startled, touched Baoyu's face and said, "Did you ever invite the second master?"

Baoyu was used to being called the second master. At this moment, he looked at Jia's mother ignorantly and said, "Old ancestor, am I not here?"

Jia's mother smiled bitterly, everyone called Jia Lian's second master, and even she called it on her lips, and said softly: "I'm not calling you, but calling you Lian's second brother."

Hu Po said: "I've gone to ask for it. Second Master Lian said that there is a very important matter in the mansion and he needs to arrange someone to do it immediately. When he is free, he will come over immediately."

Mother Jia's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly said to Hu Po, "Go and find out if Second Master Lian is busy asking his nanny to be the chief manager!"

Hu Po felt a little bit apologetic for the mandarin ducks and said, "It's for the chief manager's business, otherwise why would everyone congratulate the Zhao family, young and old?"

Mother Jia's eyelids kept twitching, and she wondered if she had fallen into Jia Zheng's and Mrs. Wang's tricks, and the Jincai couple were innocent?So he said to Hu Po: "You tell this to Jin Cai and his wife, and let them know that the second master Lian crossed the river and demolished the bridge."

Amber agreed, secretly took a bag of snacks and hid them on her body, and led the two little maids to the firewood room next to Jiamu's small kitchen. Once inside, she saw a mandarin duck who had never suffered a little in the past and even knew how to read and write. He was tied up with a rope and sat under a pile of firewood, with a few dry leaves used to kindle the fire sticking to his temples.

Amber burst into tears.

The two little maids also received the favor of mandarin ducks and pearls in the past, they just pretended not to see Hu Po giving them some snacks.

While feeding Yuanyang and Zhenzhu some snacks, Amber told Yuanyang what Jiamu said while choking up.

Yuanyang saw that her parents were still calling Yuanyang and refused to let go, so she didn't let go, she only shed a few tears and said: "I don't know where I offended the second master and second wife, and they want to trample me like this. Ever since I was born out of my mother's womb, Yuanyang I have never lived like this.”

Pearl snuggled up to the mandarin duck, also sobbing and crying non-stop.

Amber was not an eloquent person in the first place, but she became a charming and straightforward person. She cried along with Yuanyang and Pearl, and when she saw Jiamu, Lihua knelt down on the ground in the rain to intercede for Yuanyang and Pearl: "Old lady, the two of them definitely don't pick on others. Doesn't the old lady know what they are? I beg the old lady to see the details and let them go."

Baoyu also knelt down and kowtowed on the kang in the suite to beg Jia Mu.

Jia Mu still refused to let go, and said to Amber, "Go and invite the second master Lian, and tell him to come here immediately." Then she put her arms around Baoyu and said, "Don't plead for their two white-eyed wolves. I have seen such things a lot. gone."

Baoyu only thought about the good of mandarin ducks and pearls, and cried, "It's good, why did the old lady tie them up in the woodshed?"

"Go and ask your second elder brother." Jia Mu said, when she saw that Baoyu was really going according to her words, she hugged Baoyu hurriedly, thinking that Jia Lian called Yingchun Miss and herself Second Master, but she just didn't want Jia Zhu In the eyes, Yuanchun and Baoyu are regarded as thorns in the eyes, and Baoyu must not be allowed to fall into his hands.

After waiting and waiting, Jia Lian did not come. The two nannies who went to pick up Shi Xiangyun finally brought Shi Xiangyun back. Mother Jia smiled and watched Baoyu whispering in Shi Xiangyun's ear mysteriously, and then pulled Shi Xiangyun out. Stopping him, I felt that these two children who looked very similar from a distance were very cute together. When Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu left, she was still sitting on the kang, and first asked Shi Xiangyun's nurse: "Can your wife return?" good?"

Nanny Zhou, Shi Xiangyun's nanny, smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam, Madam is well, Madam said to kowtow to the old lady."

When Jiamu saw that the second wife of the Shijia asked the nanny to pack several large bags of clothes, she felt that the nephew and daughter-in-law knew that she would share weal and woe with her, and wanted to get close to her. She smiled and asked the parrot to take the nanny to the green yarn cabinet Clothes and clothes were burdened, and when Nanny Zhou led the little girl to see Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu, she asked the two nanny who went to pick them up to sit on the footrest and answer, asking, "Why did it take so long?" ?”

Nanny Zhang refused to speak, but only looked at Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang hurried forward and handed a letter to Mother Jia.

Mother Jia didn't know why, so she asked the parrot to take it and hand it to her, opened the envelope, and took out the letter inside, only to see a piece of paper inside, depicting a Fu Lu Shou kang screen inlaid with gold and jade, probably a painting. In such a hurry, the sika deer and tortoise on the paper were far less vivid than the ones in her memory. Seeing this paper, her heart felt bad.

Grandma Wang thought about it and said: "The second wife of the Shi family said that there was a wedding in the previous Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, and she happened to be there. She followed a group of people to see the bride's dowry. When she saw this screen, she only said it looked familiar. It was sent by our family to Tianxi."

"What else did the second wife say?" Jia's mother asked quickly, her back was cold and her hands were sweating slightly. This kang screen was secretly given to her by Shi Xiangyun's grandfather after his grandfather passed away. It is not easy for the Shi family to know. , Now that the Shi family already knows, how can she face the Shi family in the future?What's more, Jia Lian was born with a left-tempered personality and was stubborn. She had been staring at her since years ago. As far as she knew, among the other four kings and six princes around the New Year, Jia Lian's family did not give any gifts, but only gave him a few sworn brothers. In the past, Feng Ziying and other people who speculated on contracts gave gifts, so this kang screen can only be given by Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang who gave gifts to various families for Jia Lian.

Mother Jia's face was blue and white, and she felt that Jia Zheng, Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang were venting out of the same nostrils. The whole family worked together to plot against her.

Seeing Jia Mu's angry face, Grandma Wang said cautiously: "The second wife of the Shi family said that there are many things at home recently, and she is afraid that Miss Shi will be neglected. Please ask the ancestors to stay with Miss Shi for a few more days."

"Did you say when you will come to pick me up?" Jia Mu's throat moved slightly. Shi Ding's wife sent Kang Ping's picture, and it was not without purpose.

"I didn't say anything, I just looked at the three or four bags of clothes, there are clothes for summer and autumn." Nanny Wang quietly walked up to Jia Mu and whispered in her ear: "Old lady, it's not that I'm careless. It's just that the third wife of the Shi family also passed by. She said that when she saw the kang screen in Nan'an Taifei's residence, she couldn't help showing signs for a while. When the dowager asked, she didn't know what to say. The screen was given to the old lady when Miss Shi’s father entrusted it to Miss Shi before his death.”

Mother Jia was stunned, and quickly asked, "Is there anything else?"

Grandma Wang shook her head.

Jia's mother knew what the two nieces and daughters-in-law of the Shi family meant, so that outsiders would think that she and Shi Xiangyun's father had already settled Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu's life, otherwise, what kind of entrustment was worth accepting such a precious thing ?Fortunately, Mrs. Wang now only has others to pick her and not her to pick others. This matter is not difficult. Following the words of the Shi family's nephew and daughter-in-law, she nodded and said: "You also go and look at Baoyu and Yun girl. One." After saying that, he suddenly remembered that Jincai, Jincai's family, mandarin ducks, pearls, etc. were still locked in the firewood room, and hurriedly called someone to release them. Feeling ashamed, I hurriedly said, "I mistrusted people's words for a while, and I wronged you." As he spoke, he hated Mrs. Wang even more, and was annoyed that Jia Zheng and Yuan Chun were fooling her with Mrs. Wang.

Jin Cai and others didn't even dare to say anything, they just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Mu.

Jiamu immediately asked the parrot and agate to help the mandarin ducks and pearls up. Seeing that their faces were pale with fright, she said to the parrot, "Take your two sisters to wash and eat something good, and then give them more." Each of them has a total of one month's money, and they don't have to come to me to serve in the next two days, and their two sets of clothes are also ruined, so I took two rulers and told them to cut new clothes."

Pearl heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly kowtowed to Jiamu and thanked her with Yuanyang, supported each other, and followed the parrot.

Jia's mother rewarded Jincai and others with two months' monthly money, but she still didn't see Jia Lian coming. She just thought that Jia Lian was playing tricks while Jincai was away, so she hurriedly urged Jincai and his wife: "Go to the second master's place as soon as you eat some snacks and fill your stomach. Serving as an errand, lest the second master don't know, and think that you have quit the job."

Jin Cai hurriedly said, "Young one, let's go and have a look."

"Go, let's all go." Mother Jia sat alone on the couch, watching Jin Cai and other distressed figures leave her room, and couldn't help crying.

"Old lady?" Amber came in, saw the tears hanging on Jia Mu's face, and quickly wiped her with a handkerchief, "Shall I call Sister Yuanyang over?"

"No need."

"Then... call the second master and the second wife?" Hu Po honestly thought that since Jin Cai and his group were released, it must be Jia Zheng's family who lied to Jia's mother.

Jia Mu shook her head again, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Only at this age do I know what it means to be confused. Forget it, just pretend that I have never had those things." Her reputation is getting worse and worse; moreover, either Jia Lian colluded with Jincai, Yuanyang, and Pearl who are loyal to her, or Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Yuanchun conspired to deceive her.If it was the former, the person who served her day in and day out would be unreliable, and her old life was in his hands, so what was there to fight for?Slowly talk about tossing Jia She and Jia Lian, she is not tossed, it is God's blessing!If it was the latter, she would have lost all her close relatives in the whole house, and she would have even less life.

In short, whether it is Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian or Jia Zheng, they are not good. In the future, she will just take Baoyu to be happy and not interfere in their affairs.

Hu Po tilted her head, wondering why Mother Jia was going to be confused again, and said with a smile, "Then Master Bao and Miss Yun are here to relieve the old lady."

Mother Jia nodded in agreement, Hu Po went out to call for someone, and came back in a moment of panic: "Old lady, Second Master Bao and Miss Yun hid from people and went to Jinghuanzhai, and just now they followed Second Master Lian to the ferry to pick up Mrs. Lin. "

Jia's mother suddenly sat up from the couch, and said angrily, "Where is the nanny? It's really that the more people there are, the less people are in charge!" Her heart was beating violently, lest Jia Lian would be unfavorable to Baoyu, and then she thought that Jia Lian was a person who was trying to gain fame, and now Baoyu There is no threat to him. He is eager to let people know that his brothers are respectful. How can he do anything to Baoyu?Only then did he let go of his heart, and he raised it again, "Why didn't anyone say that Mrs. Lin is coming back today?"

Hu Po said bluntly: "I'm also wondering. I asked Quan Xi from Jing Huan Zhai, and Quan Xi said, if it wasn't for the fact that Second Master sent someone out to look for him on Lunar New Year's Eve, the young master of the Liu family would return with Uncle Lin's boat. Jing, the second master doesn't know either."

Jia's mother was taken aback for a moment, then slowly fell down on the couch again, Lin Ruhai went to Beijing but never told her, it can be seen that Lin Ruhai also wanted to go far away from Jia's house...
