said that the sunspot was buried, Jia Cong refused to leave because he relied on it, and Jia Huan went home on his own. When he arrived at the gate of Rongguo's mansion, he caught a glimpse of Amber guarding, and was secretly surprised and jumped off the horse.

Sure enough, Amber ran up to meet him: "Third master! Just go! The old ancestor was angry! ”

Jia Huan handed the reins to the kid next to him and asked, "Who dares to make her angry?" ”

Amber said in a low voice: "Today, the second wife sent someone to Shi Jialu to marry their family, so that they choked back." said that he couldn't look down on our second master. ”

Jia Huan frowned: "Can't." It was their family who sent Sister Yun into our house to raise them for so long, if they didn't have this mind, they would be sick. ”

Amber hung her head and said, "The old lady is so angry that she didn't even eat lunch." ”

Jia Huan nodded: "I know." So he hurried to Jia's mother's house.

When I got inside, I saw Jia's mother crooked on the kang with dark clouds on her face, and several girls standing next to her didn't dare to speak, only the mandarin duck was still softly persuading her to eat two bites. Jia Huanai stepped forward and said, "Sister Mandarin Duck, please go and warm some porridge for the old lady." If your heart is not smooth, don't eat bad restraint. ”

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "No need, I can't eat it." ”

Jia Huan said: "Ancestors don't need to be bored, let's think about it." This is abnormal, and it will not be without reason. ”

Jia Mu raised her eyes and glanced at him: "You can tell me about it." ”

"The Shi family must have intended to marry Sister Yun to our family over the years, and Sister Yun and the second brother must also have a friendship, these two sections will not be wrong. At present, the DPRK and China are in such a mess, and it is not the time to talk about marriage at all. They suddenly mentioned Sister Yun's major event, which was the first abnormality. His two characters are all compatible with each other's temperaments, and the Shi family sent Sister Yun to our family to raise her for so many years, and outsiders know what it means! The refusal at this moment is the second anomaly. ”

After hearing this, Jia Mu sat up: "Yes, it's really abnormal." ”

Jia Huan said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." I don't know if the historian was coaxed, threatened, or calculated; Who is coaxing and calculating, is it the Jia family or the historian or the Jia Shi Wang Xue. ”

Jia Mu's eyes lit up.

Jia Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Mother Jia is actually angry because she has no face, and her mother's family looks down on her heart and soul Baoyu. Smash her head first and conspiracy to divert attention, and the anger will naturally disappear. Nai said: "We are young and ignorant. I also hope that the ancestors will take care of themselves and help their children and grandchildren think about it. People are iron and rice is steel, and the old birthday star must first fill his stomach. ”

Jia Mu couldn't help laughing: "You kid is getting poorer and poorer. "It's a lot more comfortable.

Soon the mandarin duck came over with porridge, and Jia Huan was busy pretending to go to see Jia Zheng and slipped away. Naturally, he would not discuss this matter with Jia Zheng, so he had to hurriedly run back to the dart game.

Gong San also heard about it, frowned and said, "Why is it that at this juncture, the girl of the Xue family is gone, and the second master of your family is gone?" ”

Jia Huan sighed: "Isn't it? If it weren't for the grudge between our family and the Xue family back then, the two of them would just get together. ”

So when Jia Cong came back and said this, Jia Cong said "ah": "No!" Sister Shi was taught by my sister with so much effort, and she can't be sent to someone else's house. "I thought about it, "What Mr. Gong said is, why are their relatives always good, and now they have gone wrong when they shouldn't have gone wrong?" ”

Mi'er said on the side: "It's not strange. All the old princes and little princes are packing up and preparing to leave Beijing to go to the fiefdom, and they all want to get more money and talents before leaving. The three families of Jia Wang and Xue are connected together, and the Shi family has obviously been set aside. ”

Jia Cong said: "That's right. The best thing to do right now is to keep things moving. Nai Xiang Jia Huan said, "The old ancestor is better, you have to grasp the second uncle, don't let people coax him." ”

Jia Huan covered his face for a while, and said helplessly: "I know, I know!" And where is the second wife? ”

Jia Cong said: "Don't bother, she doesn't speak as well as Sister-in-law Zhu." ”

Jia Huan muttered a few sentences, rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm tired today." So he simply sent someone to go and told Luo Tainiang again. For a while, the man rushed back and said, "Aunt Luo said, the third master can rest assured, she knows how to tell Hui Niang how to speak." Jia Huan let out a "hmm".

Because the girls of the Jia family all went to the south, there was no woman available for a while, so I had to ask Xue Baochai to go to Shi's house to explore Shi Xiangyun's tone.

It wasn't until near dinner that Baochai returned. It turned out that the historian knew that Jia Yingchun was teaching Xiangyun, so he decided that Rongguofu had taken a fancy to her, and Xiangyun himself was aware of it. In the past few days, I suddenly heard that many people have come to propose marriage, and her aunt said that "the threshold has been broken", and all of them are excellent relatives. Compared with Jia Baoyu, a scholar, those people are either rich or noble, or they have already made a name for themselves. Shi Xiangyun didn't want to do it in her heart, but her words were useless, and she cried and cried, and no one paid attention to her. She was in a hurry, and even planned to escape from the house and go to Ping'an Prefecture to find Yingchun! Baochai had already told her that "the Rongguo Mansion was already investigating the reason", and relieved her for a long time before she settled down.

Jia Huan clapped his hands and said, "No need to ask, Brother Baoyu is also being targeted." Speaking of which, he is the only one left in our family who can be calculated by marriage, and it is no wonder that others calculate him. ”

They discussed for a long time and had no clue, and when Jia Huan went back after dinner, they were surprised again. Amber waited at the gate of the house again.

Jia Huan jumped off the horse and asked, "Who messed with the old ancestor again?" ”

Amber's face was white-brushed, and she nodded, and shook it twice.

Jia Huanqi said: "What's wrong? ”

Amber said in a low voice: "The second master, the second wife, and the old lady have been arguing for a long time. ”

Jia Huan glanced at her: "What are you arguing about?" ”

Amber whispered more and more: "Someone came to see the second wife today, saying that what kind of princess is because she saw a poem by the second master of Bao, she admires the second master and wants to recruit the second master as a concubine." The second lady happily led people to see the old lady, so that the old lady immediately pushed it away, turned her face and refutated it with half a face. ”

Jia Huan was stunned for a long time, high-fived and shouted, "Good job!" The ancestral sword is not old! ”

Amber looked better on the top of her face at this time, and then said: "Later, I didn't know what the second wife said to the second master, so the two of them went to the old ancestor's courtyard to make trouble. ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he hurriedly said: "I'm afraid they will make too much trouble, you go slowly, I'll go over quickly." So he left her and ran away to Jia's mother's house.

Before he entered the house, he heard Jia Zheng shouting loudly and didn't know what he was saying, and then Jia's mother shouted, "Evil!" He hurriedly picked up the curtain and broke in: "Old lady, old man, wife!" Rest your anger! ”

I saw that Jia's mother was standing up tremblingly with a cane and crutches, pointing at Jia Zheng; The mandarin duck struggled to support her. Jia Zheng knelt on the ground with his neck high; Mrs. Wang also knelt, only with a sullen face. Jia Baoyu bowed his head and knelt to the side crying. Jia Huan roared angrily in his heart: Who are the people in the second room! He didn't dare to shout out seriously, endured it, and knelt down: "Old ancestor, my grandson came back too late, and my ancestor was wronged." ”

Jia Zheng sneered: "The third master of Huan is becoming more and more promising, but you are the only one who protects your grandmother." ”

Jia Huan lowered his head and said: "My son doesn't know who is bewitching what in the ear of the master, my son only knows that no horse in my dynasty has ever gained real power." ”

Jia Zheng was stunned.

Jia Huan also said: "Whether it is the princess's concubine or the eldest princess's concubine. Since the Taiping princess of the Tang Dynasty had the intention of usurping the throne, the concubines were all ministers under the princess's skirt. Good looks, can write poems, paint, cook tea, and make pianos, that's it. ”

Jia Zheng was silent for a moment and sighed: "In your opinion, can your second brother's temperament be in charge of the government?" Wouldn't it be nice to have a princess to shelter? ”

Jia Huan said: "But I don't know which princess is that princess, but there is a half-brother, if there is no half-brother, there can be a brother-in-law brother, has her mother been friendly with the mother of which prince in the palace?" ”

Jia Zheng was stunned again.

Jia Huan sighed lightly: "Master, no one can provoke the Son of Heaven this time!" The saint is not dead yet, and the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army are all in Tianjin! How close is Tianjin to Beijing, who knows when it will return to Beijing? The princess may not be safe and sound, and the saplings at Prince Yizhong's grave are not a few feet high. I just hope that something won't go wrong in the East Mansion every day to burden our house, can we still mix in it ourselves? ”

Jia Zheng hesitated again.

"If they say that the princess is frightened day and night, and wants to find a random family to marry safer, I will believe it. But now this statement is obviously false. Sir, think about it, the princess, her father has been captured by the rebels for so long and there is no news, one of her brothers was captured by the rebels and supported in Qingzhou, one of her younger brothers was missing, and the other younger brother was supported, and her uncle and uncle had just divided her father's country. What poems does she have to read? Sir, do you believe it? If she is telling the truth, how dare you do such an unfaithful and unfilial daughter-in-law? ”

Jia Zheng suddenly withered and became arrogant, and his whole person softened.

Jia Huan continued: "Besides, people, this time and that time. The second brother is not very old, and I heard that the old man was quite naughty when he was young. How can I see that the second brother has no great ambition and no ambitions after a few years? Why be tied to him as a colt? Yan Yan looked at Jia Mu and said, "Master, Jiang is still old and spicy, and the ancestor is resolute." ”

Mother Jia sat down peacefully in the morning, and the mandarin duck and her were drinking tea with her, when she heard the words, she snorted, raised her eyebrows and didn't look at the group of children and grandchildren underground.

Jia Huan said: "I'm afraid that the old ancestor will suffer some losses." ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that Jia Zheng and the others didn't answer, the mandarin duck boldly asked with a smile: "Why did the ancestor suffer a loss, but he just spoke a little tougher." ”

Jia Mu sighed loudly: "Hengzhi is going to offend people, why don't I offend this old woman." ”

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "It's not just about offending people. If the grandson guessed correctly, even if the old ancestor didn't say it explicitly, he was afraid that he also hinted at the intention of telling the Shi family's sister to the second brother. It was the grandnephew of the old ancestor. When these words spread, smart people naturally knew that our family was unwilling to drill into the traps of others and stand in line indiscriminately; is not smart, and when the ancestors rely on the old and sell the old, they force their grandsons to go to their mother's house to marry their daughters-in-law, and even the princess is not allowed. The reputation of the ancestors is afraid that it will be ruined by people who are not well-intentioned. ”

As soon as these words came out, several maids and daughters-in-law in the house, along with Jia Zheng, all looked at Mrs. Wang. Jia Huan couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart. He originally intended to pull Shi Xiangyun in, and he didn't want to say that he had hit Mrs. Wang! Nai then said: "Today, my grandson asked someone to investigate, and this matter is really wrong. In the past few days, the Shi family has suddenly had countless matchmakers come to the door, all of them as if the Shi family has Sister Yun and a girl to be married, and the two girls next to them are all like nothing, and they all only pull matchmakers for Sister Yun. And those who say yes are all good. It's a pity that Sister Yun is the only one in their family who is smart, and when she saw that something was wrong here, she almost wanted to leave home and avoid it. ”

He just stayed with Jia Cong for a long time and learned to be honest, but he scared Jia's mother: "Nonsense! Did she tell someone? ”

Jia Huan said: "I heard that I haven't heard yet, but I'm afraid that my family has let someone I don't know what to target, and I don't know why I'm anxious." ”

Jia Mu nodded: "This girl is a clever one." ”

Jia Huan said: "This matter is obviously because someone heard that our two mansions may have the intention of marrying, so they will demolish this family first, and then plot against the second brother." ”

Jia Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "Huan'er, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Jia Huan said: "If they make such a fuss, it is inconvenient for us to settle the family affairs seriously." I'm afraid that when they see that their plan has been exposed, they will be angry and angry, and it will not be good to take revenge on our family. The grandson thought that before the big decision in Beijing, don't discuss marriage with our brother for the time being. What if the discussion is wrong? Although he said that he was not ready to marry, in fact, he had already added the idea of "the two of them will marry sooner or later" to everyone present, but I was afraid that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang would not be able to discuss others for Baoyu in the future.

Jia Mu originally wanted to settle the matter with Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun through his mouth, but she was a little unhappy to hear him say this, and only said for a long time: "That's it, let's do it for the time being." Looking at Jia Zheng's ashamed face again, knowing that he had lost face in front of his two sons and a group of subordinates, he was a little annoyed and a little distressed, so he said, "Second child, since Baoyu was born, how can my wife treat him?" How could he have done nothing good for him? ”

Jia Zheng's face was like a fire, and he kowtowed: "Mother's words, how can I afford to be a son?" ”

Jia Mu glanced at him a few more times and waved her hand: "I'm tired of being tight this time, you all go." The ring boy stayed with me to thump his legs. ”

This obviously has something to discuss with Jia Huan. Jia Zheng felt more and more embarrassed, and hung his head coyly.

Seeing that everyone else had retreated, Jia Huan hurriedly stepped up and gave a thumbs up: "Ancestor!" High, really high! ”

Jia Mu smiled: "That's it, don't flatter." ”

Jia Huan said: "The ancestor is so bold that he even refused the princess's request for marriage. ”

Jia Mu snorted: "The princess is the daughter of a saint, and your eldest sister is ......" said and suddenly stopped.

Jia Huan was stunned: "Huh? What happened to Big Sister? ”

Jia's mother looked at him, as if she really didn't know anything, and suddenly thought that Jia Cong intended to plan for Yuanchun's mother's honor in the world, and even Jia Huan didn't tell him, and naturally he didn't tell him that he secretly thought in his heart that he was not the true son of heaven, and his daughter would fall from the princess position sooner or later, so he hurriedly covered it up and said: "It's nothing, I just don't know how your eldest sister is in the south." ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "There is the eldest uncle, the second brother, and the Lord Wang." ”

Jia Mu Nai told him: "This time, the one who said that she fell in love with your second brother is the sister of the sixth prince, Princess Jian'an. ”

Jia Huan let out an "oh", and complained more and more about the six princes in his heart.

At this time, Jia Huan, Jia Mu and others didn't know that although today's matter was not big, after this toss, the people of the family had already placed Jia Huan's position above Jia Zheng in their hearts. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
