33 eavesdropping
Xue Baochai had been kneeling on the ground.
When he helped the Jia family clean up his things, he was only half-squatting on the ground, and when the emperor suddenly asked, he saw Jia Jiu kneeling, and he also knelt with a puff. When Jia Jiu asked and answered the emperor, his heart was pounding, and he was very excited, even if he knelt behind Jia Jiu's side, not far from the emperor, he didn't hear Jia Jiu's answer to the emperor clearly, he just cared about the excitement.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything about the conversation between the emperor and Jia Jiu, it's just that he was excited and threw away his calm for the first time in his life. When Jia Jiu ran away, he didn't react in time. Therefore, when he found that Jia Jiu had run away, Xue Baochai only hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt there until the waiter hinted that he walked away with the rest of the little girls.
Xue Baochai didn't know why the national teacher valued Jia Jiu, but he knew that in Daqi, who was believed in by the whole people, being favored by the national teacher was equivalent to stepping on a broad road. Although it is said that men are inferior to women, and female monks are not as good as male monks of the same level, the disciples of the national teacher are very sought after among the elites of the Beijing teacher. Not to mention anything else, it is much more convenient to enter and exit the palace than others. In the palace, from the queen and the ladies and ladies to the palace maids, most of them believed in the truth, although the national teachers and others were monks, but in the end, it was a man, and it was not convenient to enter and leave the palace. It is much more convenient to enter the palace in the name of a female monk to give lectures to the queen and the queen and other female relatives in the palace, and if you are a person with superb skills, you can also get the favor and trust of the superiors, which is of great benefit to yourself and the family and power behind you.
And this is also a shortcut to enter the palace, just like Yang Guifei back then. The speed of promotion is also faster than that of the concubines who are elected to enter the palace.
Probably this is the difference between Jia Jiu and Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai sees glory and wealth, for his own glory and wealth. He will fight and grab, but in his heart he agrees with the idea that women are inferior to men in this world. And Jia Jiu, his heart is very arrogant, so arrogant that he even sneers at the concept of male superiority and female inferiority. This kind of arrogance is actually very similar to that Wang girl. Whether it is Jia Jiu or Wang's daughter, they don't agree very much with this world in their hearts, the difference is that Wang's daughter directly declared war with the world and finally lost herself in the battle to win, and Jia Jiu. He's a lot more sleek, his life has just begun, what his future will become. No one knows.
Xue Baochai regretted why he was not favored by the Daomen, but he also comforted himself, in the past sixty years in the twelfth room of the Jia family, only this Jia Jiu has been recognized by the first generation of Rongguo Gong, and there are so many people in the Jia family, and he is the only one who has come out. It's understandable that he can't compare to him. His own uncles and aunts have not been able to let themselves see the nobles. This second sister just brought herself out for such a time, and let herself meet the emperor. Now the second sister is still young, and after a few years, when both of them are older, they will be able to get more benefits.
Xue Baochai had already faintly felt that his own uncle Prince Teng was not able to pardon Jia Jiu before, and he had this experience today, so he affirmed his judgment more and more.
But how do you please him? In the identity of the other party, if sending something. If the delivery is thin, the other party will definitely not look down on it. also seems to be a little family; But if it is given too expensively, it will only make people look down on themselves more and more.
Xue Baochai is well versed in the way of gift-giving, not too expensive, compared to the value of the gift, the intention of the gift is more important, the gift should be intimate, but also without losing identity, without losing decency, but also in line with the other party's preferences, which is more difficult. And if you want to brush Jia Jiu's favorability, you can't just take care of brushing Jia Jiu's favorability alone, but also take into account Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters. This is a younger sister, so it would be nice to bring more gold and silver belongings, but what about this sister?
Xue Baochai was faced with a problem that had plagued Jia Jiu for a long time, how to be able to brush up the other party's favorability in a short period of time.
In fact, he went into a labyrinth. Speaking of which, he is very similar to Jia Jiu, both thinking about climbing up, and calculating the chips in his hand all the time. The difference is just that Jia Jiu disdains to do certain things, and Xue Baochai doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with the general understanding of relying on men to get on top, relying on men or marriage to change a good identity for himself and live a good life.
The two are similar, but they are not the same, especially their attitudes towards life, which are even more contradictory.
Xue Baochai is a delicate lady, and he is always upright, because he needs to let the people around him realize that he is also a young lady. Compared to Jia Jiu, he can't tolerate being made fun of, which reminds him of his lowly status as the daughter of a merchant, and when necessary, he will pay a huge price just to keep his image in the eyes of others.
But Jia Jiu is not upright, he is much more cunning than Xue Baochai and can see a little more openly. He doesn't care about conspiracy just as he doesn't care about being treated as a joke. As long as he can bring benefits to himself and his family, he doesn't care about his reputation. Maybe when others are making fun of him, he is already secretly happy with his own gains compared to his own efforts.
Now Xue Baochai is embarrassed by how to give a gift that can satisfy Jia Jiu without losing his identity, so that Jia Jiu can take himself to this level of hairpin party next time.
Because he thought about it, Xue Baochai had unconsciously left several major scenic spots that were full of tourists and came to a remote place. tripped over the roots of the tree under his feet, Xue Baochai's body rushed forward, which made Xue Baochai react.
It's also that he reacts fast enough, otherwise, he will be on the ground with his face.
Xue Baochai supported the Taihu Lake Stone on his side with his right hand, looked at the sharp corners less than half an arm's distance from his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's okay, fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise there would be a scar on this forehead, even if it is only in the position of the forehead, his future will be over.
Before the frightened Xue Baochai could find a place to sit down, he heard someone ask the person next to him in unskilled Chinese, and it was still Jia Jiu: "Whose child is that little girl who is dressed in blue and white and uses a golden sword?" is so powerful, and has such skills at such a young age. It's a girl, if it's a man, I'm afraid it won't take long for Daqi to be able to add a brave general, right? ”
Someone on the side laughed and said, "Prince, don't you see it?" This Great Qi National Teacher has already taken a fancy to this kid first. And the Great Qi Emperor had no way to directly refuse, so he could only find an excuse to delay. Prince, Daomen has a lot of power in Daqi. This girl's father's title is not low, he is the emperor's woman, but Daomen takes a fancy to it, and the Emperor of Daqi can't refuse. Prince, this is Daqi. ”
First Human: "I see. I've heard that the Daomen have an agreement with people that they will not invade the grassland lightly. It's also a loss of this agreement. Otherwise, where is our Di Ren Babu? It has long been destroyed by the Daomen. ”
Another man beside him said in the same strange voice, "Prince, in that case, why don't you ask to marry this girl?" ”
The second humane: "Compared to this daughter of the Jia family." Wouldn't Liang Xiang's young daughter be more valuable? ”
The third human: "What do you know?" How old are Liang Xiang's young daughters? The one in the Jia family is only eight years old, almost half the age younger than him, the age difference between the two is so much, and the time for practicing martial arts is also several years apart. We Di people serve people who are capable and strong. The Jia family's wait for the Liang family's age. It will only be more powerful than the Liang family. ”
The second humane: "You are really straight, I said that the girls of the Liang Xiang family are not only because of martial arts, but also because of the power of their two families." Not to mention anything else, Prime Minister Liang is the confidant of Emperor Daqi, but what about the Jia family? Everyone knows that the above is tired of the Jia family, if it weren't for their family splitting up, I'm afraid that what is waiting for their final outcome will be a mess. But now they are separated and separated. The Great Qi Emperor also used them as a punching bag, otherwise. will not throw the father and son of the Jia family to the border. ”
The third man: "Why, don't you reuse them?" ”
The second human: "You are not a Daqi person after all, and you don't know the importance of sacrifice to a family." Just like their family, if something happens to the two men outside, the only milk doll left in their family is so small that there is no way to hold a sacrifice, which is a big deal for any family. You see, the girl of the Jia family was recorded as a concubine, and no one in the capital raised any objections. The first major event of the country is the sacrifice, and when it is related to the sacrifice, even the national law must take a step back! ”
The third person: "That's it, we have to choose this girl from the Jia family." If he knew that the Great Qi Emperor was calculating their family, his father and his brother, would he still be able to bear this breath? If something happens to his father and brother, and their siblings are bullied again, we just need to let people say something to him, and we are not afraid that his heart will not be towards us. is the one of the Liang family, who was originally an adopted daughter, and her influence on Prime Minister Liang is limited. If there is really something, I am afraid that the Liang family will be the first to give him up, unlike this one of the Jia family, they can do half of the Jia family's affairs. ”
Hearing this, Xue Baochai's heart jumped, and he realized that it was not only his uncle's family, but also the future of the Jia family, which was really worrying, and he unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in his hand at the moment.
Xue Baochai has studied for two years and experienced things in the mall, and he knows many things much better than other girls of his age. Just like Wang Xifeng's blurted out "rebellion", Wang Xifeng didn't take this matter as a thing at all, but Xue Baochai was worried every day, afraid that this matter would implicate their Xue family. Although it is said that many things are not as important as marrying daughters, but the crime of heinousness is implicated, it is not so easy to escape, in the past, the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue were collectively called the four major families of Jinling, and in many cases, the four major families were both prosperous and loss-in. If the Wang family is suspected of rebellion, then eighty percent of their Xue family will be regarded as accomplices, especially if their brother has a marriage contract with Wang Xifeng, the evil leader, it will be even more difficult for the Xue family to escape this disaster.
At the same time, Xue Baochai, who has experienced things, knows very well that governing the country is the same as managing one's own shops, paying attention to clear rewards and punishments, and in many cases, it is necessary to act strictly in accordance with the principle of no two punishments for one crime. Take Jia Lian's father and son as an example, if what the people behind the rockery said is true, then since the emperor has used the father and son as a punching bag, then when the two of them come back from the border, what awaits them will be an extremely bright future; Even if they die outside, the court will also compensate Jia Jiu and Jia Cong's sisters and brothers to calm people's hearts.
In other words, if Jia pardon Jia Lian is dead, then even if they are guilty, then these sins will also be taken away by them, and Jia Jiu Jia Cong will be fine, but will be taken care of by the royal family. If Jia pardons Jia Lian and survives, then they will also atone for their sins with their own merits, and what awaits them will be the emperor's reuse.
No matter what the future holds, for the Xue family, currying favor with Jia Jiu will be a surefire deal.
Xue Baochai immediately calmed down. He raised his head and looked around, only to see that in front of him was a small rockery, the rockery was not low, six feet high, it was crawling with green vines, now it was early winter, and it had snowed, the vines were withered and yellow, although the sun was good during the day for the past two days, but the shady place was also cold, but he was not afraid of snakes and insects. Around the rockery, the trees are towering, just like the centuries-old forest, quiet, obviously a sunny and good weather, but there is no sunshine falling here, no wonder these people will pick here to speak. It's a place where very few people come.
Xue Baochai is also a very bold person, he looked around, only to see that there is no hiding place around, only this rockery, which is actually made of several stones, large and small. Just behind the Taihu Lake stone that he was holding, there was actually a lot of space, which may be a little smaller for adults, but it was enough for him to hide well.
Xue Baochai was bold, gently lifted her skirt, climbed up the Taihu Lake Stone lightly, and then carefully stepped on the stone crack on the side and slowly went down, hiding behind the Taihu Lake Stone.
Not long after Xue Baochai squatted down and straightened her skirt, she heard footsteps.
I only listened to the second person: "What's the matter, so good, what are you suspicious of?" ”
The third person said: "I faintly smelled a cold fragrance just now, and I thought that someone was hiding here and eavesdropping, but it turned out that I was mistaken." ”
The second man: "How is that possible?" Now that the emperor of Great Qi has also arrived, those people are busy showing their faces in front of the Great Qi Emperor. Where would you come here? ”
The prince said, "That's it." Since my uncle is here, I don't want to delay here any longer. Let's go. ”
Hearing the footsteps gradually disappearing, Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief a little with relief. (To be continued......)
