Jia Yu's Detective Case

Since the Song family came to apologize in person, Jia Yu has completely become famous in the circle of honorable princes in the capital.

The circle that the Jia family came into contact with are all descendants of four princes and eight princes. Everyone has similar family backgrounds, and they are fighting for their status in the hearts of the elders of the family. Take it to heart.

After that, Jia Yu had no time for peace. Today, either this person invites him to have fun with him for his birthday, or that person takes a concubine and asks him to go out to have fun. There are so many names and tricks that tell him to open the door to a new world.

However, Jia Yu was unwilling to participate.

He has been there a few times, and most of the banquets are filled with Baoyu and his like who don’t feel pressured. Even Feng Ziying and others who donate real officials are few. It is of no benefit, but it will affect his study time. This is not acceptable, but he is determined to pass the exam in one fell swoop next year!

So there were posts to invite him again, and he personally replied one by one to refuse and apologize.

When they heard that he was going to study behind closed doors, most of the dandies didn't take it seriously, but it was really not good to delay other people's studies, so they stopped inviting him, and the newly established relationship gradually faded.

Jia Yu didn't think it was a pity, she wasn't a fellow traveler in the first place, so why force it!

Except for the elder brother's invitation that the family couldn't refuse, Jia Yu really closed the door and concentrated on studying.

This made Jia Zheng, who was worried about trying to wake him up, couldn't help being more satisfied, and he valued him more in his heart.

Wang Xifeng was discussing how to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival in Heping'er, how to make preparations for what was left, and how to give gifts to each family when Jia Lian came in with a sullen face.

"Where are people, are they all dead? I haven't seen the master coming back, so why don't you serve tea?"

"Yes, Second Master!" Feng'er and Xiaohong hurriedly served tea to others, and stepped forward to serve others.

Wang Xifeng wondered:

"It's strange, who offended you and told you to come back and vent your anger?"

Jia Lian irritably tore open his skirt and fanned the wind:

"Who offended me? The weather is hot and dry!"

Wang Xifeng did not believe this.

I personally brought the tea that I hadn't drank to warm up and brought it to him:

"Calm down your anger, it seems that the festival is coming, there are a lot of things going on inside and outside the house, but you have to be busy!"

After drinking the tea, Jia Lian's irritability dropped a lot.

sneer:

"My lord just feels a little wronged. How can you not call him 'Second Lord Lian' respectfully when you go outside? But in fact, I may not even be as good as Yuer who just returned home. I invited a few friends to dinner the day before yesterday. Naturally, Yu'er couldn't be left behind, so I kindly called him to join me. I don't know which slander told the master when I came back. Today, the master specially called me over to preach, saying that I shouldn't bring Yu'er into trouble? You said I Why did he spoil him? Now, who can’t invite a few singing girls and maikos to eat? Even Baoyu has seen it many times, so he told me about it! I can see that there are three in this mansion. Serious men, Baoyu is loved by the old lady, Yuer is loved by the master and wife, and I am the one who suffers!"

These three serious men refer to their descendants, not counting Jia Huan and Jia Cong.

"Hey!" Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing.

"According to what you said, you can't eat without recruiting prostitutes?"

Jia Lian froze, and only now did she recall that just now, she said something she shouldn't have said in front of Sister Feng, and she smiled flatteringly:

"Hey, grandma is definitely not talking about people like me. I'm the most honest person, and I have beautiful wives and concubines at home. How can I go to see such lowly people..."

"Hmph, do you know it yourself!" Wang Xifeng flicked his sleeves and got up to leave, not bothering to argue with him that he was angry.

"Where are you going?" Jia Lian asked loudly in the room.

"Go to my wife, she said she wants to open a warehouse to find leather for brother Yu to make winter clothes!"

"..."

Jia Lian clicked her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable. People with mothers and people without mothers are different. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they began to prepare winter clothes...

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Wang was rummaging through boxes and cages.

Originally, many furs had to be taken out to dry in autumn. When I saw it, I naturally thought of Jia Yu. He and the three old ladies did not bring much luggage to Beijing. Obviously, winter clothes are not enough. Just be prepared.

So Mrs. Wang asked someone to call Wang Xifeng to open the warehouse, count the skins, and prepare them for Jia Yu first if there are any suitable ones.

"My wife plans to make some clothes for Brother Yu first?" Wang Xifeng came over and helped to clean up.

Mrs. Wang frowned and thought for a while:

"I'm afraid he doesn't even have clothes for the winter in the capital. He can't just do two clothes like other men. First prepare two clothes for home use, and then prepare four clothes for going out. Don't worry about the rest. Wait until everyone else is done. I'll do it when the sewing room is free, as long as I can make it before the Chinese New Year, I still have some leather at the bottom of the box, it's a waste to leave it for nothing, I'll make it for him."

Wang Xifeng was a little speechless. Although Brother Yu didn't have winter clothes, his wife made preparations every year. The previous ones were too small to wear, but last year's ones were okay, right?Apparently the wife had forgotten about it, and she couldn't bring it up, so she had to ask someone to open the storeroom for her to look at it one by one.She just stared at the man and sent him the finished autumn clothes, and now she has to start working on winter clothes again, but she is really busy.

Caiyun came back to help tidy up. Originally, she was keeping Mrs. Wang's keys. Later, she went to Jia Yu's and handed them over to Caixia.

Jia Yu didn't need many maids, not to mention that Mrs. Wang couldn't do without Caiyun, so she asked her to come back to help actually send it back to Mrs. Wang.

Caiyun took back the key and naturally wanted to check things, and this search made her anxious, so she dragged Caiyun to a remote place:

"It's really a crime. Where did you take the things? Return them quickly. I won't tell my wife because of our old relationship."

Caixia's complexion changed a few times:

"My good sister, just pretend you don't know, so why don't you make a sound?"

Caiyun stomped her feet anxiously:

"You are really confused, and you were coaxed by Aunt Zhao's nice words. No matter how much Mr. Huan is the master's son, he will never marry a girl to be his grandmother. No matter how nice Aunt Zhao's words are, he can't be a master." Lord of the wife, besides, did she tell Mr. Huan to marry you?"

Caixia burst into tears:

"My good sister, just help me this time. I won't do it next time. I can't get the things back. As for me... it's God's will to suffer and enjoy the blessings. Whoever tells me to look at that enemy!"

When the persuasion failed, Cai Yun stopped persuading her and sneered:

"I won't bear this name for you. Since you dare to do it, you can do it if you think about it. Come and reason with me in front of your wife!"

"Sister! Good sister, we have grown up together since childhood..."

Caiyun is unmoved, and thanks to being with Jia Yu during this time, she is also affected by Jia Yu's insistence on her principles, and she is not moved by Caixia's words, so she pulls her to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang twirled the prayer beads on her wrist:

"So I actually kept a thief by my side!"

"Madam, please let the maidservant go, don't dare to do it next time!" Caixia finally calmed down and started to be afraid.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said:

"Well, for the sake of serving you for so many years, you won't sell it. Let her mother come and take her back! You are not allowed to take any of her things, and leave them for the loyal ones who serve you!"

Caixia's complexion changed, and before she could intercede again, several strong women stepped forward and pulled her away covering her mouth.

"Girl, save some face for yourself, don't let the wife sell it when she is really annoyed, then it will be called regret!" the mother-in-law who was pulling her advised.

Caixia did not speak.

Mrs. Wang looked at Caiyun with a relaxed expression:

"After all, it's your carefulness. I said that I can't live without you, but I can't worry about Yu'er."

Caiyun laughed and said:

"Uncle Yu is filial. Seeing that I took Qing'er with me, he drove me back to serve my wife."

Mrs. Wang likes to hear people say that her son is filial. The unhappiness just now disappeared, and she asked:

"Have you tasted carefully in his room these days, which one should be usable, and which one is naughty and unusable?"

"I've tasted them all. After being beaten by my wife several times, none of them dared to be naughty. My wife is at ease. It's the autumn clothes sent by the second grandma. I tried it on yesterday and found it was a bit short. Now it's called the autumn clothes in the house." How many girls are putting out the thread!"

Mrs. Wang was pleasantly surprised:

"That's Yu'er growing up!"

Wang Xifeng knows how to look at her best, so she quickly answered:

"That's right, Brother Yu suffered a lot before, but now that you don't worry about it when you come back, you can grow taller if you eat carefully and use it carefully!"

"Amitabha! Remember to ask the person who has measured the size and called the sewing room to extend a finger, so as not to shorten the wearing time in winter!"

"Yes, after all, it's my wife's thoughtfulness!"

Mrs. Wang was happy, so she was in the mood to ask what was missing.

Caiyun hurriedly replied:

"Two bottles of sherbet, one bolt of satin and three otter skins are missing."

Madam Wang nodded:

"I almost forgot that there is still this thing. I brought two bottles of sherbet to Yu'er. The weather was hot, so I mixed it with water and drank it cool, and it was still appetizing. It was just right for him to study hard. Then I sent two bottles to Baoyu. He Always liked this stuff."

Think about it:

"Give Qiaojieer and Lanzi a bottle each, they are small, one bottle is enough."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly thanked:

"Thank you, Madam, for thinking about Miss Qiao."

Mrs. Wang laughed:

"She's my granddaughter, I shouldn't think about her!"

Then he talked about other things.

So in the afternoon, Jia Yu received many items sent by Mrs. Wang, such as emerald dishes, crystal cups, jade tea sets and other miscellaneous but very valuable things.

Staring at all kinds of jade, Jia Yu swallowed her saliva. For some reason, he has an inexplicable love for jade. Except for the piece of jade from Baoyu, he loves all other jades. Everyone in the family knows his habit. The ones made of jade, especially my own mother, gave him almost all the jade ornaments in the box, and also gave him a box of jade ornaments.

It provoked Jia Zheng to educate him, to the effect that he should not be distracted by playthings. The most important thing now is the imperial examination, and the things he likes should be put on the back burner.

Jia Yu complied obediently, and when he came out of Jia Zheng's study, his servant was holding a set of jade pen holders and inkstones from Jia Zheng.

Jia Yu's heart warmed slightly, and he was also very close to Jia Zheng, who was serious on the surface but loving on the inside, and the father and son still chatted occasionally.

As the night fell, Jia Yu took half a step after washing up as usual.
