[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

After seeing off the Shi family, Mrs. Wang looked at the big boxes and couldn't hide her joy.

"The historians sent things here, and I'm afraid they won't be able to take them back for a while. Let's borrow them first and use them, and they will get a share of the benefits in the future. Pack up the usable things that are not marked inside, and replace them as soon as possible. Send them to the empress. to the palace."

The joy faded, and some worries.

"Last month, I was nervous. I only sent a few hundred taels to the empress. I'm afraid it won't be enough. Hurry up and send it in. You can't neglect the prince."

"Yes."

Zhou Rui's family checked six or seven large boxes one by one, and took out seven or eight small ornaments, all of which were precious and valuable things such as jade and coral.

"These can be exchanged for a thousand taels at least. Madam, wait for two days, and I will send you the money when my son-in-law exchanges the things."

"Two more days?"

Madam Wang frowned, dissatisfied.

"The palace costs money every day. It's nothing for us to wait for two days, but the empress can't wait. Sure enough, you still need enough money in your hands. These boxes seem to be a lot, but they can be replaced. I'm afraid not many."

Rubbing the handkerchief with her fingers, Mrs. Wang suddenly had an idea.

"What is Lian'er doing these days? In the past, he always went to Ping'an Prefecture and got a lot of money from the lawsuits. Now, although the master is not here, it's okay to let him go a few more times."

For hereditary wealthy families like theirs, the most valuable thing is their connections.Although Jia Lian's official position is not high, it is easy to do some errands with the help of the reputation and influence of his ancestors.Spending a few hundred taels for favors can be exchanged for thousands of taels, which can be described as a huge profit.

Zhou Ruijia rolled his eyes and smiled forcedly.

"If this happened in the past, but since Zhi Ge'er was born, Second Master Lian didn't go there very much, and even the Eldest Master didn't give orders to do so. It might be bad for us to call him here at this time. "

"What's wrong? In the past, their husband and wife followed me and treated them as children, but now they only do some trivial things. Don't they get the benefits of the empress? When will they be less rewarded?"

Mrs. Wang didn't care, and was even a little dissatisfied.

"You just call him, and I'll tell him."

"Yes."

Zhou Rui's family reluctantly agreed, and first took the things to find his son-in-law Leng Zixing, told him to exchange money early, and then went to Jia Lian.

"Second Master Lian, Madam invites you to come over."

In the room, the husband and wife are watching their daughter teasing their son, and the family of four is enjoying themselves happily.Jia Lian heard the rumor that he was still holding cheese sticks for Zhige.

"What's the matter? I haven't been feeling well these few days, and I don't go out all the time at home. If I have any urgent errands, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Wang Xifeng hugged her elder sister and smiled.

"Is there anything important? I think it's just some family affairs. I can't take care of it when I'm not healthy, but you can only walk around outside. If it's not a big deal, just take care of it."

The husband and wife talked casually, Zhou Rui's family smiled unnaturally.

"Of course my wife has something urgent to ask the second master. The only one in our family who can do things now is the second master. Just go and find out."

Hesitating like this, Wang Xifeng immediately turned his head and looked over, looking up and down.

"You've always been a neat person, why do you get up like a mother-in-law? But that's right, but how can anything good happen to our husband and wife? You really don't know?"

Zhou Rui's family smiled awkwardly, implying something.

"Second Mistress's words are serious, but it's just that the wife wants Second Master to do something that he has done before, and he is used to it."

"Oh?"

Jia Lian put down the stick of cheese, thought for a moment and came to his senses, pulled a golden hairpin from Wang Xifeng's head, and gave it to Zhou Rui's family.

"That's really a coincidence. A few days ago, Brother Liu caught the bandits and asked me to help, and accidentally caught a cold. Today, the eldest sister is also feeling a little uncomfortable. I really can't get away, so I ask my sister-in-law to help me say a few words."

"Since the second master is not feeling well, please take a good rest. I will leave first."

The members of Zhou Rui's family used to follow Wang Xifeng, and they were friends, so they didn't have any troubles when they went out with the golden hairpin.

Wang Xifeng got off the couch, puzzled.

"What are you afraid of? Now that I'm out of control, why don't you take care of two more things to save some money for your children? Since the wife came to look for it, it must not be a difficult matter, but it's just a matter of a small lawsuit."

"What do you know."

Jia Lian slipped on the couch and continued to play with his son in his arms.

"In the past, I would have dared to take on anything, even if I was ginsenged in front of the emperor. But now I can't, the old master is confused, the second master is not here, and the historian is also impeached. How dare I go to trouble at this time?"

Thinking about it was indeed the truth, Wang Xifeng stopped asking, and asked about other things.

"A few days ago, you said that Mrs. Cheng's family was going back, and you all went to see her off. Why didn't you go out? If you see the brothers of the Cheng family, you should ask about the current situation, so we can prepare well. Looking outside, it seems that all the families are not working. , we can’t sit still.”

"I can't think of such a big thing? I went that day, but I don't know why, the brothers of the Cheng family refused to see me, and the other brothers didn't stay too long. They invited us to have a glass of wine and send them back. It's also because of this that I was more vigilant. Not to mention the second wife, even the old lady's orders, I dare not answer."

Jia Lian lay on his side with his head propped up, frowned in thought, and supported his son's kicking calf with the other hand.

"Look at my side. If you have time, ask the two younger sisters to talk and ask. You don't have to come to our house, go outside. Now the family is getting more and more uneasy, and the elder is still concerned about adding to the chaos. He wants to make money before the second sister gets married. A sum, scolded by the old lady."

"This is a mess. If I didn't say it was the Duke's Mansion, I would have thought it was a small family."

Wang Xifeng sneered and rolled his eyes.In the past, the manager didn't feel it, but now that he is relaxed and watching with cold eyes, he sees many stupid things in the past more clearly.

"It's easy to invite two younger sisters out. Now May and June are the days to go out to play. It will be hot any later. When I arrange to invite them to the theater, even our girl will be invited. I don't know how in the future, and One day of use is one day."

Arranging the arrangements, Wang Xifeng ordered people to go to the Qingxu temple to inquire, and after a date was set, all the Taoist priests were invited out to make room for the girls to entertain.

The girls in Jia's mansion naturally responded to everything, and Jia's mother gave them 20 taels of silver and told them to have fun outside.

When the invitation was delivered to Lin's mansion, Lin Yun had just returned home from Cheng's mansion.

"It was sent by Lian's second grandma to invite the girls to the theater. The second girl is not at home now, can the girl go?"

Bringing the post over, Qing Mei made no secret of her dislike, read it over and placed it on the table casually.

"If the girl doesn't want to go, just refuse, what's so good about their family?"

"Ome!"

Zi Ling gave her a hand, seeing Lin Yun staring at the post in a daze, she persuaded softly.

"Some people are confused and some people are not. There are villains in our house, and there are good people in Jia's house. Depending on what they are, the girls in Jia's house are not wrong. They may be the victims in the future."

Just a few comments, and instead of making a decision for Lin Yun, she took Qingmei to pack her luggage.

Lin Yun pinched the invitation.I don't know if anyone else is a victim, but Yingchun must be. If she were to marry a woman like Wang Momo, her death would be even worse.

With a sneer, he ordered Ziling to reply to the person who sent the post, and he must attend the appointment as scheduled.

They were busy going out to watch a play, and Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't eat.

"Didn't you say that Lian Er is seriously ill, why is Brother Feng still in the mood to go out to play? Sure enough, moving out makes me less important, so you can fool me like this!"

Zhou Rui's family felt bitter, she only said that Jia Lian was not feeling well, how could it become a serious illness in his wife's mouth?But dare not refute, only to make amends.

"Xu Shilian's second master has recovered in the past few days, and the second grandma took her brothers and sisters out to relax. From now on, it's going to be a hot day and you can't go out. I'm rushing to the last cool days."

No matter what the reason was, Mrs. Wang couldn't listen and was immersed in her own thoughts.

"Your Majesty is now pregnant for five months, and it is time to take care of her. She will settle accounts with them after giving birth to the prince. Can you exchange the things you have been asked to take out? The person who picks up the womb sees money, and the Empress can't wait."

"Madam, don't worry, it's agreed to give me 1000 taels tonight, and I can send it in tomorrow. There are also fetal nourishing pills ordered by my wife, and they are all ready and sent in."

Madam Wang was relieved now, she became more and more dissatisfied with Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife, and missed the old lady's private house even more.

But in June, Jia Zheng sent a letter back to urge Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Cong to go to Jinling to prepare for the August provincial examination.

Jia's mother agreed very much, knowing that Jia Amnesty was unreliable, she ordered Yingchun to prepare Jia Cong's luggage, and Tanchun to prepare Jia Huan's luggage.And ordered to withdraw the money from the public account, and not to treat badly.

Jia Baoyu was prepared by Mrs. Wang himself.

"My son, if you go to Jinling this time, you must study hard and get a good grade. Our family is now pointing to you. Jinling has arranged for someone to take care of you. Don't be greedy for fun and delay your homework. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop the master when he comes back. live."

The situation in the capital was not good, and Mrs. Wang's few words frightened Jia Baoyu's face to turn pale, and then comforted her.

"If you pass the exam, you will be a decent adult when you come back, and I will point Xiren to you to serve and study, okay? By then, it's almost time to discuss marriage."

Proposal?

Jia Baoyu immediately raised his head, his eyes showed anticipation.

"Madam, is this true?"

"Isn't it true? When you reach your age, you will naturally have to discuss marriage. At that time, no matter which rich lady you are, as long as you like it, ask your empress to marry you."

Mrs. Wang was all smiles.As long as the empress grants a marriage, it is Miss Wang and Sun, who dares to resist the order?At that time, it was Baoyu's limelight.

She has a sweet dream and urges Jia Baoyu to study, and the day when the girls agreed to watch the play is coming.

Lin Yun came late, and Wang Xifeng, who got off the sedan chair, was waiting in front of the door.

"It can be regarded as coming, but I still don't want to show my face. Why is it only you, where is your second girl?"

"Back to Jinling."

I told Wang Xifeng about this earlier, Lin Yun didn't hide it from her, and simply said it in a few words, but Wang Xifeng applauded.

"Okay! I knew she had a backbone. In the early years, she looked like a beauty lamp, but she had a lot of abilities that she should have. Now she has grown up more and more. Unfortunately, she can't be a daughter-in-law for our family."

If a capable daughter-in-law is obtained, the next generation of the Jia family may not be saved, but it is impossible for the Jia Lin family now.

"Hey, he deserves it too?"

Lin Yun spat on the ground.

"Even if we fight one day and drive her out to deny this sister, Jia Baoyu is not worthy!"

"Okay, okay, you have the final say. Come in quickly, the sisters are waiting."

Also seeing Jia Baoyu's frivolity, Wang Xifeng didn't argue, and pulled Lin Yun in.

Behind him, Cheng Qian did not get off his horse, and said loudly.

"You go ahead and ask Jane to wait for you here. If there is anything, tell him to find me."

Lin Yun didn't have time to respond, and was dragged into it by Wang Xifeng.

"It's my brother who knows. Those who don't know think it's Lao Tzu, who cares so much. There are maids serving, and I even called Ping'er Xiaohong. Let's have fun."?
