25. Twenty-fifth round
Entering the inner room, the first person to step forward was Zhao Hui, who said enviously: "Sister Qiong, it's really good to be able to get such a mother-in-law, this step is beyond people's reach." ”
"Compared with this, those two live geese make me even more red-eyed, and usually people are replaced by two domestic ducks. I didn't expect the uncle of the Jia family to be able to find it in this February, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort?" Sun Yiyao interjected, she was also happy for Zhang Qiong, and she was really worried at first. 、
Zhang Qiong is mostly a close friend because of this, and she has no shyness at the beginning, "Yi Yao, who knows me, has been friends for many years." ”
After the small ceremony was completed, Jia Shishi took Zhang Qiong's return gift and half of the ten fruit boxes, sheep wine and other things back to the house. Mrs. Zhang came to Zhang Qiong's boudoir, and when she saw her daughter's tired face, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Are you tired?"
"No, it's just that there are too many people today, and there is such a quarrel. ”
"You are also a person who is about to start a family, you should take good care of your body, and say anything unwell in time. After speaking, he handed the small gift list to Zhang Qiong, and said with a worried face: "This small gift of the Jia family is too valuable, not to mention the bracelet and bracelet for you, there are only four kinds of jewelry in this set, I heard that this set was prepared by the old lady, one was married by herself, one was given by the royal family to the wife of the Guogong Mansion, and one was passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law." It stands to reason that this should be yours, but it's too much. And the six horses of priceless silk, brocade forging. ”
"Is it impossible for a mother to bear her daughter's dowry?"
"How can you have such an idea, we have only had such a daughter as you in the sixth generation, how can we make your dowry shabby. I'm worried that you won't be able to adapt to life in Narong Mansion. Mrs. Zhang smiled: "You are really not ashamed, and you don't feel shy when it comes to dowry." ”
"Aren't I worried about bringing too much burden to my family because of the dowry?" Zhang Qiong disagreed.
"Now it seems that the Rongguo Mansion is also a good destination, and the uncle is also famous, and he can inherit the Rongguo Mansion in the future, and at worst he will be a first-class general, and you can also have a good life. In the future, when you have a child, as long as you raise him as an adult, it will be almost the same, and a woman's life will not rely on her husband and children. ”
"Mother, what nonsense. ”
"Qiong'er, my mother knows that when I think of the days when I envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal, how can there be anything in the world. I'm also afraid that the greater your hope, the greater your disappointment. You have to remember not to throw away your heart lightly, and then it will be you who will be hurt. ”
"Li Ye has a poem 'from near to far east and west, deep to shallow clear stream. As high as the sun and the moon, from relatives to husband and wife. But the daughter did not understand how to live if two people who had been together for a lifetime did not get along, but the mother assured that I would think about it. ”
After Mrs. Zhang heard this, she also knew in her heart that her daughter was a little persistent in this regard, and it was useless to persuade her, so she didn't say anything.
The old lady who had just finished busy with her eldest grandson Xiaoding, but Aunt Liu, who received her son Xinna, was about to have a three-month fetal miscarriage the next day, and looked at the little girl kneeling below and asked, "Is there a message for Mrs. this?"
The girl said cautiously: "My aunt asked me to tell the old lady directly, saying that it was Mrs. She."
"Okay, Mama Gu, please come to Dr. Hu, who is sitting at home, and then tell your wife about this and let her deal with it. The old lady said impatiently, in fact, for her, this baby is dispensable, one is just that her aunt is pregnant, and the other is as long as the existing three grandchildren are good.
Jia Daishan knows that it is a pity, although he has two sons-in-law, but they can all become successful, if the child is born safely, he can also be well-educated. Only now that the good end is gone, he also asked Dr. Hu if it was artificial, but he also grasped this conclusion. And the wife has been busy with Jia Yuxiao's affairs during this time, and the other aunts are also staying in peace, and the most important thing is that no one knows that Aunt Liu is pregnant, she has been hiding, and plans to wait for three months for the fetus to be stable before saying it, and this matter has to be stopped.
The saddest thing about this matter is Aunt Liu, and the most profitable person is the wife in charge, "I didn't think that this Xianghe is very capable." The wife said to the jade beside her.
Jia Min didn't care about this, she was thinking about the jade bead she saw in Shifu last time, after this period of understanding, she finally knew that Miss Qi's father was a little Liupin Xiaoguan, and she was on an errand like the eldest brother, plus the strangeness that Jia Yu told her before. There were all kinds of connections between the two, and it also made her have a bold guess that the saint's inner treasure was smuggled out, and even exchanged it for the real one.
Originally, she didn't dare to think like this, but didn't she think that the Jia Mansion in her previous life was slowly hollowed out by those minions? Since there are such people in the Jia Mansion, the royal family is afraid that there will be no less.
On this day, Jia Yu Xiu Mu came to his father's study with him. When he entered the study, he saw Jia Daishan writing something, and Jia Min stepped forward: "Father." ”
Jia Daishan looked up and saw a pair of children standing in front of the desk, so he said, "Min'er, why did Yu'er come together, is there something wrong with finding a father?"
Jia Min nodded, and gave Jia Yu another look. Jia Yu hurriedly said: "Father, my son has some questions to ask on an errand. I wonder if there will be anything fake in the saint's inner clothes?"
"How is this possible, there are things that can be faked anywhere in this world, but the saint's inner money will never be there. Jia Daishan said without thinking: "Except for that person who doesn't want to live anymore, put on something fake." ”
"But my son has been on an errand for the past few months, and he has found a lot of fakes. Jia Yu said.
"Are you sure?"
"Son for sure. ”
After hearing this, Jia Daishan stood up, kept turning in circles, and said: "I really don't want to live, I really don't want to live."
"Father, what else haven't I said about this?" Then Jia Min told all the things that happened in the Shi family, and asked, "Father, do you think there is anything to do with this?"
"Forgiveness, you don't care about this matter for now, investigate it for your father first, and it's not good to tell the saint if there is no evidence. Jia Daishan thought about it and said.
"My son got it. Jia pardoned.
Just when Jia Daishan was thinking about how to investigate and whether this matter would be beneficial to the Jia family, he didn't expect Jia Min to suddenly say, "Father, do you think our family will have the same thing?"
"How is that possible? this minion doesn't want to live?" replied Jia Daishan.
"Why is it impossible? There are such incidents in the royal family, let alone our family?" Jia Min asked: "And when I learned to read accounts with my grandmother, I said that there would be a lot of hidden stakes in this accounting, and I couldn't find it if I didn't pay attention to it." ”
"Father, son thinks sister is right. We have to guard against it, if the Jia family's family business is hollowed out by those minions, wouldn't it be too late to regret it. Jia Yu also said, in fact, when he was a child, he often had inexplicable things, and now that he thinks about it, it must be those minions who take it.
"Yes, it's a good check. Jia Daishan thought for a while and said.
Jia Min saw that her father had made up her mind and threw them away, and the others had nothing to do with her. At this time, she remembered that it seemed that Yingchun's grandmother stole her jewelry and sold it, and was later discovered by Yingchun, but Yingchun was weak and didn't dare to investigate deeply, so she let her mother bully her.
Looking back, she is only nine years old now, and others treat her as a child, and there is no way to manage the things in the house, so the maid is very perfunctory to her, and most of them listen to the words of the grandmother and the chrysanthemum. Later, I came back, and I didn't care about these gold and silver hand ornaments, and I didn't know what was missing, if I didn't think about my previous life today, I don't know if she would be missing something, and it seems that this yard is also good to check.
Thinking of this, Jia Min patted the table and said, "Shui Yun, order someone to count and see if there is anything missing, if there is anything missing, it will be good to interrogate the maid in the courtyard." ”
Shui Yun saw that Jia Min was annoyed, and hurriedly said: "Girl, no, if you do such a large-scale inventory and search, it will definitely alarm the old lady and wife, and that will not be good." ”
Jia Min saw that what Shui Yun said made sense, so he nodded and said: "Cheng, you will take a look at the valuables in my house first, and if there is really anything missing, you will immediately interrogate me, and you will pay more attention in the future, don't let people think that we are easy to bully." ”
The four of Cailan hurriedly responded, and then they were busy.
Jia Min saw that there was a lot of chaos in the house, so he knew that he would be busy for a while, explained a few words to them, greeted Caimei, and went to the garden.
As soon as I went out, I saw the girl next to the old lady coming with a food box, and when she saw Jia Min coming out, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "The girl is fine." ”
"Why is Sister Furong here?" Jia Min had already seen the food box that Furong was carrying, thinking that the old lady had made something delicious and brought it to her.
The old lady treats her granddaughter better than the eldest brother's grandson, and if there is anything delicious and fun, she will definitely ask someone to bring her a copy.
Furong opened the food box with a smile and presented the contents to Jia Min: "This is a newly made rose roll just out of the pot, the girl loves to eat it the most, and the old lady specially asked the slave to send it to the girl." ”
"It's really Sister Lao, I'll go and thank my grandmother again at dinner. Jia Min gave Caimei a look, Caimei hurriedly took the food box, turned around and entered the room, "Sister, do you want to go in and sit, have a cup of tea and leave?"
"No, the old lady still has something to do, the slave will go back first, but when you see the girl, do you want to go out?" Furong said with a smile.
"The silver charcoal in the house has been smoked for a day, so I asked Caimei to accompany me to the garden. Jia Min just said lightly.
As for the loss of things, she didn't let her know, because Furong knew that the grandmother couldn't hide it, it must have been a toss at that time, and it was her face who lost something in the Qingya Courtyard, and it was not good if it was spread out of her reputation, after all, the person who stole things would definitely not be able to get out of this courtyard, and what face would there be to take care of the house in the future.
Furong naturally heard the movement in the house, but the girl didn't say anything, so she didn't hear it, and only smiled: "That's right, the slave maid just went back to the old lady's yard, and walked with the girl on the way." ”
"Very good. ”
Cai Mei came out of the house and returned the food box to Furong, who took the food box and went to the garden with Jia Min.
Not long after Jia Min went out, Cai Ju came in from the outside, and saw Shui Yun and the three of them were rummaging through the cabinets, so he shouted: "What is this doing, making a mess in the girl's house, and trying to rebel, don't you?"
"Why is Sister Caiju here?Please take a seat!" Cai Lan saw Cai Ju coming, hurriedly put down the things in her hand to greet her, personally helped Cai Ju to sit, Cai Zhu was also busy serving tea, and said with a smile: "Sister Cai Ju has never been to our Qingya Courtyard since she got married, and I thought that my sister had already forgotten about us?"
Shui Yun listened, and also laughed: "Of course, Sister Caiju is busy with her brother-in-law's affairs now, so she has the time to think about you." Ah, no. Now I can't call Sister Caiju, it's time to change my name to everyone's" and laughed.
The people in the house are very familiar with Cai Ju, everyone is sisters, and there is no taboo to joke: "Yes, yes, you tell me if the Lai family is very rich, and it is not much different from the big family." "Who in Jiafu doesn't know that Mama Lai is the most trusted person around her wife, and her wife will keep a copy of everything, which is more nourishing than her aunt's life.
Cai Ju was not angry when they teased her, she was used to it these days, took a bite of tea, and smiled: "That's as good as you said, no matter what, it's still a slave's family, but it's just a little bit of face from the wife." "I'm actually very proud in my heart.
The girl in the house despised her very much when she heard it, she was really born in a blessing and didn't know how to be blessed, and the Lai family was much better than the ordinary people outside, but she was still not satisfied.
"By the way, what are you doing, messy mess. By the way, what about the girl, just now my wife told me that I will still be an errand boy in the girl's yard in the future, and I will be a housekeeper. Cai Ju looked in the room and asked if she didn't see the girl.
"The girl is bored in the house and goes to the garden to stroll, let us put the things we brought back from the Shifu yesterday and register them. And when the festival was approaching, the girl asked us to find out what was in our account book and choose it for her, and to give them a gift to the old lady and her. The girl said that she couldn't let others know about the loss of things, so Cai Lan hurriedly thought of a reason and said perfunctorily.
When Cai Ju saw Cai Lan's expression, she knew in her heart that she didn't really tell the truth, but her face didn't show it, she just said with a shelf: "Okay, then don't stand, don't look for it quickly, if the girl comes back, you haven't finished it, be careful of being scolded"
