After disposing of Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng came to Aunt Zhao's courtyard to cultivate a relationship with her mother. As soon as he entered, he saw a big fire cage beside the kang, and Prince Jin's court clothes were spread out on it, and there was a faint smell. The ambergris diffused with the white steam, and Aunt Zhao was holding a gold-encrusted jade belt. She was holding a silver needle and was concentrating on mending a crumbling oriental bead.

Jia Zheng was taken aback by the golden court dress. Seeing Aunt Zhao's movement clearly, his heart was about to burst. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "What are you doing? Why is Prince Jin's court dress here with you? Don't move! Break it!" But it will kill the Nine Clans!"

"Master is here?" Aunt Zhao smiled slightly and wanted to get off the kang to salute.

Jia Zheng was afraid that she would lose Dongzhu, so he hurried over and pressed her shoulder, "Sit down and don't move! Why is the prince's court clothes in your room, it looks wet?"

Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "He and Huan'er drank too much, and got a lot of wine stains and vegetable stains. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to wear them to meet people, so they washed them and sent them to my room to dry."

"What's the matter with this belt?" Jia Zheng pointed at the crumbling Dongzhu, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"This bead is about to fall off, so guard Xiao asked me to fix it for the lord." Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and pretended to be careless and said, "When we were in Jinling, the lord took our mother to the governor's mansion for a temporary stay. , so convenient for Huan’er’s exam. At that time, he had no trustworthy people around him, and I helped take care of these important things. I think the guard Xiao was used to it, so he sent it here without even thinking about it. Now both of them They're all drunk, and they're falling asleep in the house."

Jia Zheng's heart was beating wildly, and he managed to steady his voice and asked, "The relationship between the prince and Brother Huan is very close?"

Aunt Zhao felt bored and asked, "How is Madam?"

"She is currently kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet to reflect."

"She made such a big mistake, but she just knelt and reflected? If there was such a mistress in another family, a piece of white silk and a glass of poisoned wine would have killed her!" Aunt Zhao screamed.

"A lowly concubine, you still want to rule the life and death of the royal family? Who gave you the courage?" Jia Zheng shouted angrily, and the next moment he remembered the relationship between Brother Huan and the third prince, and was about to say a few soft words to soothe his heartache Aunt Zhao was crying, but she didn't want someone outside the door to report, "Master, the old lady told you to go over quickly and discuss something."

Because the third prince was still sleeping, it was not easy to disturb him, and because Aunt Zhao was still so provocative and never stopped, Jia Zheng panicked, shook his sleeves and left without hesitation.

When he was far away, Aunt Zhao spat at the shaking bead curtain, a contemptuous smile appeared on her heartbroken face, and she continued humming a little tune to mend the belt.Five years was enough for her to recognize the true colors of the people in the Jia family, and it was enough for her to wear off her feelings for this person.Now she only wants her son to be safe and sound, and others care about her business?Want to be in the light of your son?Get the hell out of you!

When Jia Zheng arrived at the main courtyard, Wang Xifeng was kneeling in the hall to listen to the training. Seeing him coming, he quickly wiped off the tears on his face, bowed and said, "What the ancestors taught is that the granddaughter-in-law knows about it. I promise not to spread these things to the public." Outside, it has ruined the reputation of Jiawang and Wangfu."

"When you meet someone who is talkative, you don't need to report it, you can deal with it yourself! I am really worried about the boss's work, and you will follow to inspect Lai's house tomorrow, so that several people will keep an eye on him. Well, your uncle is now in the ancestral hall Talk to your aunt, and you can go and see her later." After Jia Mu finished speaking, she sniffed the snuff bottle in her hand.

Wang Xifeng only complied, and resigned with a low eyebrow.Because of the blood connection with Mrs. Wang, from now on, she has to behave with her tail between her legs, lest the old lady think that all the daughters from the Wang family are greedy for profit.

"Mother, why did you invite me here?" Jia Zheng stepped forward to salute.

"Have you met Aunt Zhao's mother and son?" Jia's mother said in a gloomy tone.

No matter how promising Jia Huan is, she has never been around to teach him to pee.What's more, as soon as he returned to the mansion, such a big incident happened, even Prince Jin was involved, and he didn't take the face of Jia's mansion into his heart at all, and he didn't think about his eldest sister.Five years and still such a goddamn thing!

"I talked to Aunt Zhao for a few words, and came over when I heard my mother's summons. Brother Huan and the prince are both drunk, and they are falling asleep at the moment." Jia Zheng reported one by one.

"Drunk too much? Sleeping in Brother Huan's room?" Jia Mu's voice suddenly turned up.

Jia Zheng nodded yes.

Jia Mu looked in a trance, and couldn't recall it for a long time.Don't blame her for losing her composure, the Prince of Jin hates being close to others, Yuan Chun said that no woman has ever been able to lie on his bed for more than half an hour, that's why they have been married for five years, and the mansion only has one son from the princess.For this reason, Yuan Chun secretly complained to her and asked her to make up her mind.

Thinking of this, Mother Jia finally believed that Prince Jin really treated Brother Huan differently, so she eased her expression, "Since the emperor and Prince Jin have both spoken, from now on you should cultivate Brother Huan well and try to glorify my Jia family. He Didn’t you just finish the college exam a few days ago? When will the results come out? You are keeping people’s eyes on you, and if you have any good news, you will let me know.” The words paused for a moment, and then said in a low voice, “The thing about Baoyu who was born with a jade in his mouth , from now on, no one in the mansion is allowed to mention it! In the inner courtyard, I will tell Feng girl to keep an eye on it, and you have to pay close attention to those servants in the outer courtyard, if anyone misses a word, they will be pulled back and killed!"

"Mother, why?" Jia Zheng was puzzled.In the past, my mother loved to talk about the birth of Baoyu, and she almost mentioned it to everyone. Why did her attitude suddenly change?

Mother Jia felt very ashamed, poured a finger of safflower oil on her temples, and then said quietly, "I'm too confused. Your daughter-in-law didn't think it was wrong when she publicized it. Now that I think about it, even the royal family didn't come out." How can such a descendant born with a vision come out of my Jia family alone? No matter how lucky Baoyu is, how can it be greater than heaven?" Jia Mu pointed in the direction of the palace and whispered what Prince Jin had said. Pass it on to your son.

After hearing this, Jia Zheng broke out in cold sweat. He wanted to take a sip of tea to calm himself down, but almost knocked over the cup.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault, why did you look at such a stupid woman for you!" Jia Mu lamented for a moment, then got up again and warned, "I'm not telling you to suppress Baoyu, but to protect Baoyu. After all, Baoyu is my direct grandson, your direct son, and the upright heir of my Jia family. No matter how promising Jia Huan is, he can’t surpass Baoyu! Whatever Jia Huan has, Baoyu must have, plus an extra [-]%. Because he didn't have the protection of his mother, he underestimated him! My Jia family has always been one of the most profound families in Daqing. How many pairs of eyes are staring at me, and the rules of the ancestors must not be messed up! There is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, you remember it for me Heck!"

Jia Zheng absent-mindedly agreed, went out of the Yimen Gate, stood by the pond in the outer courtyard, and blew the cold wind for a long time before returning to his room dizzy.If Prince Jin mentions the matter of "born with jade" to the emperor, what will happen to Jia's mansion, which has been tabooed by the royal family?He hardly dared to think about such a tragic ending, even if Wang Ziteng promised to help him fill the vacancy of a minister in the Ministry of Industry, it didn't make him happy.

But Jia Huan said that after counting the golden tickets, he went to Aunt Zhao's house contentedly.

"My son, I'm sober!" Aunt Zhao pulled him over and gestured a newly cut gown in front of and behind him.

"Mute, dumb sister, go and watch the door for me. I have something to say to my aunt." Jia Huan waved at the dumb brothers and sisters who followed behind him step by step.

The two nodded and went out, one on the left and one on the right squatting on the steps of the door, one took out the dagger in his boot to wipe it, and the other stared coldly at the servants who passed by, making people panic when they saw it, and they thought that they were the people next to Mr. Huan , so fierce at such a young age!

In the house, Jia Huan took out his purse and pushed it to Aunt Zhao's hand, "I saved the third prince, this is the reward he promised to give me. Auntie took it for me, and asked your mother's family to inquire secretly to see if there is any Any good pavement farm will be settled, and I will send people to buy it."

Aunt Zhao took out the silver bills and counted them, and almost fell off the kang, "My mother! 5 taels of gold? Isn't that 50 taels of silver? How many farmhouses can this buy?" Her mouth cracked with joy. After a while, he said worriedly, "However, no matter how secretive my mother's family is, no matter how much property our two children have, someone will find out, right?"

"I hang it under someone else's household registration, so I won't notice it." Jia Huan picked up the embroidery frame on the kang table, and sewed two stitches with great interest.

"You son of a bitch, this is not something you men can play with!" Aunt Zhao snatched the embroidered frame and saw that a daisy had turned into a weed, she was so angry that she was so angry.

"I'm not a man yet, I'm a boy." In terms of thick skin, Jia Huan called Daqing the second, and no one dared to call it the first.

Aunt Zhao poked his forehead angrily, and said in a low voice, "Whose household registration is it under? Is it reliable? Will it take all our money away?"

"Don't worry, there is only household registration but no real person, who will get away?" Jia Huan waved his hand and said firmly.

There is no doubt about his son's ability. He said he surrendered to Lao Li's first family and he surrendered.Aunt Zhao was so determined, she didn't ask any more questions, and just asked him to pass a pair of scissors to remove the embroidery thread.

Jia Huan waited for her to untie the thread, grabbed the scissors and started tossing a pot of green pine on the kang table, and said quietly, "Let's talk about it first, no one is allowed to mention the matter of setting up the family business, including the sister-in-law you have been thinking about. Use money to subsidize anyone in Jia's mansion, let alone reward servants generously."

When Tanchun was mentioned, Aunt Zhao's eyes lightened slightly, and she promised, "Don't worry, son, I won't tell anyone! Don't I know this group of people in Jia's house? They are all like leeches, and they get nervous when they smell blood." Clinging to it, I can’t even pull it away! I’m a fool to let them suck my blood for nothing! Besides, I’ve seen through it this time, obviously the biggest crime of Mrs. Ming is to murder a bastard, but look at those masters Ladies, one and two are all staring at the sacrifice field, why have you ever cared about your life and death! In their eyes, our mother is a beast that can be killed if it can be killed. Lucky! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't want to stay in such a house for one more day!"

As she spoke, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but her eyes were red.

Jia Huan squeezed her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be sad, Auntie, I will take you out of the house for at most three years. To be honest, I really don't like the family business of Jia's house!"

"That's right. Jia's family has long been unable to make ends meet. Many good things have been stolen by the slaves and sent to the pawn shop by his wife, Sister Feng. The old lady doesn't know. If she knows, she will be pissed to death! My son is really serious." He's a rich man!" Aunt Zhao laughed so hard that she couldn't find a place to hide her purse after fiddling for a long time.

Seeing that Aunt Zhao was no longer attached to Jia's family business, Jia Huan told her to take a rest, put down the scissors and leave.As soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I heard an angry growl from behind, "You son of a bitch! This is a very precious five-bearded pine. I specially invited the most famous gardener in Jinling to trim it, and brought it back to the capital without hesitation. Cut straight and bare?! Do you know how ugly this is?! Don’t come into my house from now on! Don’t touch my things!”

Jia Huan picked out his ears and walked away leisurely.

In a luxurious carriage, Aunt Xue kept opening the curtains to look out, looking like she was returning home. Xue Pan was tired from riding a horse, and climbed into the carriage halfway to take a break.

"Do you think that bastard is dead right now?" Aunt Xue asked gloatingly.

"Where is it so easy to die? Didn't my aunt say that he wouldn't kill him on the spot. He will only be punished with a fifty-fifty stick, and the beating will be a little heavier. After a few doses of poison, he will die slowly." Xue Pan waved his hand.

"Hey, what if the old lady gets so angry and asks to be killed on the spot?" Aunt Xue clapped her hands and sighed, "I said I wanted to stay and watch the show, but your sister forced us out to worship the Buddha! Go back now The play is over, what's the point?"

Xue Baochai, who had been silent all this time, said helplessly, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? After all, he is the grandson of the old lady. How could he be beaten to death for a slave? That's not a good show, it's clearly a family scandal, calling us outsiders After looking at it, in the future, uncle and old lady don’t feel that they should die? Do we want to stay in this Jia’s mansion?”

Aunt Xue agreed when she heard it, so she had to shut up resentfully.

Xue Pan snorted indifferently.

Xue Baochai sighed insignificantly.She is ice and snow smart, how can she not see that Mrs. Wang has always used her impulsive mother and elder brother as her guns?If they said a few things as outsiders that made things worse, the uncle and old lady might not have thought about it at the time. Afterwards, brother Huan was really poisoned to death, and the two regretted it. Don't they just hold the grudge on their own family?So she has to come out to worship the Buddha no matter what, to avoid these bad things.

The carriage kicked and trampled to the gate of Dejia's mansion, got out of the car and stepped into the corner gate, the mansion was quiet, the servants who came and went all lowered their brows and held their breath, not daring to say a word or go further One step at a time, completely different from the previous enthusiastic flattery.

"What's the matter? Did your wife take a rest? I brought a few strings of high-quality red sandalwood beads, which were consecrated by the eminent monks in Baiyun Temple. I sent them to her before I took a rest." Aunt Xue said with a smile.

"My wife is confessing in the ancestral hall. These strings of Buddhist beads are very suitable. It will be just right for my wife to clean up in the future." A woman replied with a sly voice.

"What do you mean? What confession? What cleansing?" Mrs. Xue's face changed drastically.

Xue Baochai's heart skipped a beat, and she understood in an instant that her aunt had lost, and she was defeated by a bastard in her early ten years in just one meeting, what a skill!
