Xue Baochai is sophisticated, even if he has something on his mind, he will not come out now, but Shi Xiangyun is different.

Shi Xiangyun naturally cared about Jia Baoyu. In the original book, he was already engaged to get married at this time, but now, he has no marriage contract. He always thought that he would be a pair with Jia Baoyu in the future, so he was very disgusted with Xue Baochai's golden lock and that golden jade relationship.

In the original book, he saw that Jia Baoyu was closer to Xue Baoqin, and immediately pointed at Lin Daiyu to squeeze Xue Baoqin, saying that someone was going to be jealous. Now, without Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun still pointed at Xue Baochai and said that Xue Baochai would be jealous, but unfortunately he was blocked back by Aunt Xue.

For this reason, Shi Xiangyun has a lot of anger in his heart.

Now, Jia Baoyu's treatment of Xing Xiuyan is different from others, and Shi Xiangyun is even more unhappy.

Xue Baochai is Mrs. Wang's niece, and her means are more powerful than him, so he can't fight. It can only be silenced. This Xing Xiuyan, he won't be unable to deal with it, right? He's in front of the old lady now.

Although he didn't say this to himself in his heart, Shi Xiangyun still felt that this helpless Xing Xiuyan was something he could handle.

Shi Xiangyun opened his mouth and said, "Sister Xing dresses up like this, but it is very different from when she first came." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Beautiful, right? When I saw Sister Xing for the first time, I knew that Sister Xing was a beauty, but unfortunately, she didn't know how to dress up. He has two powerful and noisy aunts at home, and even he can only try to be as simple as possible on weekdays. Since he came to our house, I don't want him to continue to be wronged. I have a lot of clothes of filial piety on the outside. It's a pity that the size is wrong, I can't wear it at all, but there are many that are just right for Sister Xing. Last time I was here with the old lady. Sister Xing's clothes are not brilliant, and Baoyu didn't even give him a look. Today, I just dressed up a little, and Baoyu stuck to it. ”

When Jia Jiu said this, the people present immediately remembered the situation when Xing Xiuyan first came that day.

On that day, Jia Baoyu didn't give Xing Xiu a single look.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Brother Ai, I was fooled by you, seeing that you are so attentive to Sister Xing." I thought you liked him, but it turned out to be Sister Xing's clothes! ”

Jia Baoyu immediately got up to make amends to Xing Xiuyan: "But it's not mine, I actually neglected my sister." ”

Xing Xiuyan had to return the gift again. He replied: "Huaxia Huaxia, the beauty of the uniform, the great etiquette." And the saints have spoken, and they who are clothed. Don't be identified. Dignity and humility. Since I was dressed plainly that day, it was naturally different from the house, and it was natural that Bao Er Ye couldn't talk to me. ”

Xing Xiuyan opened and closed his mouth is the ancient text, which is the words of a saint, and Jia Baoyu's heart is a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't like to read, and naturally he doesn't like people who drop their book bags, but what Xing Xiuyan said is the truth. It also went to his heart, and made him very entangled.

Shi Xiangyun saw this. smiled instead: "Sister Xing, you don't know, Baoyu doesn't like to read the most, and she doesn't like others to drop her book bag." ”

Xing Xiuyan replied: "The so-called late bloomer, the ancient sages, many people started to study very late, the sage only began to read and write at the age of nineteen, Dong Zhongshu also began to study hard day and night after twenty, and there was even that Dasu, he only started to study at the age of twenty-seven. It can be seen that starting late is not a bad thing. It's people who always change, Bao Erye is young now, likes to play, and doesn't like to be urged by someone's side, that's natural. When the future is older, it will naturally be different. How can it be generalized? ”

Xing Xiuyan replied unhurriedly. But what he said was really good, whether it was Jia Mu or Mrs. Wang, they were very ironing in their hearts.

Jia Mu said: "When I saw Xing Yatou's appearance, I remembered the description of the official media when he was pulling the strings for his aunt. It's very similar. ”

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "There is a way that nephews are like uncles, nieces are like aunts, and it is natural that Miss Xing will be like the eldest lady in the house." ”

But I didn't want to, this sentence offended Mrs. Wang.

Niece aunt, who is Mrs. Wang's niece? Wang Xifeng. Although Wang Xifeng had already followed Wang Ziteng and his wife back to the south, everyone in the Jingshi knew that Wang Xifeng was a fool and a pitfall. said that the famous lady didn't even know the most heinous charges, and shouted in public, "It's okay to sue our family for rebellion", and Shun Lide vacated the prince.

If you talk about nieces and aunts, doesn't it mean that his wife Wang and Wang Xifeng are the same kind of goods?

Mrs. Wang had a ghost in her heart, and he felt that Mrs. Li was deliberately embarrassing him.

Mrs. Wang smiled dryly and said, "Not necessarily. If you want me to say, this Xing girl is not like a sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law is not as obedient and gentle and introverted as this child. ”

Jia Jiu immediately smiled: "Look at what my aunt said, no matter how my mother behaved before entering the door, but when she entered the door of our house, she was my father's wife, and as the head of the family, even if she was filling the house, she had the responsibility to do so." Where is the mother's doing? When you are a girl, you are too casual and fashionable, and you will be bullied from below, not to mention that as a housewife, if you are too weak and unprincipled, then you will not be played around by those minions? ”

Jia Jiu was very clear about the outside evaluation of Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. Even if Mrs. Wang let people go around to promote Mrs. Xing's mean greed for money, it is not Mrs. Xing who is responsible for the lawsuit, and it is not Mrs. Xing who puts the money in the seal. As for being mean, it is nothing more than being harsh on the minions below. But the situation of the Jia family at that time was already beyond their means, but they were still paying attention to food and clothing, and pomp, where could Mrs. Wang's practice of dying to save face and suffer sins could live for a long time?

said that Mrs. Xing was mean, just because Mrs. Xing felt that the family's expenses were large and she wanted to be frugal. If Jia Jiu wants to say, there were seven or eight people in one position in the Jia family at that time, and there was no one to do things, so this situation should have been changed. Mrs. Xing wants to be frugal and reduce manpower, which is the power and duty of the main mother. However, since Mrs. Xing wants to lay off employees, the first thing will touch the interests of those slaves, especially those who have children from their families, and marry through guò. The relationship is intricate, a few families, united. Firmly grasp the backyard of the Jia family. Mrs. Xing wants to attack them? Where they don't jump? The ill-intentioned slaves, together with the ill-intentioned Mrs. Wang, naturally pitted Mrs. Xing.

In essence, Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai, and Wang Xifeng's housekeepers are all good all the way, spending money to support a group of people who don't do anything, and they can't make ends meet. But he paid attention to those false excitement, and as soon as he was flattered by a few good words from those minions, he immediately fluttered. Treat those minions as your own, but you can't see the interests of the family and the long-term strategy. When he had no money in his hand, he took risks and did those illegal and criminal acts.

Such people. There is also a market in Jia's house. Who doesn't shake their heads when they go outside?

People who can really live a life should be like Mrs. Xing and Lin Daiyu, who live whatever kind of life as much money as they have, and have principles in their hearts, and they will not change their decisions because of those rumors, and they will not know who their names are because of a few words of the minions.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang felt that Mrs. Xing was childish. felt that Jia Jiu couldn't be on the stage, and Jia Jiu also felt that Mrs. Wang was too good at losing. He said that he was blind and insulted the rat.

If it weren't for Mrs. Wang joining forces with the minions below, and Mother Jia was openly watching from the wall but secretly adding fuel to the fire, I am afraid that Mrs. Xing would have changed this mansion in the first place, where would Mrs. Wang be the grandmother who has been in charge for so many years? How could Mrs. Xing be conspired by Mrs. Wang and those minions and ruin her reputation?

These things are not only clear in this house, but also very clear to the people in the back streets, and the people outside are also very clear, but for the sake of Jia Yuanchun's newly crowned imperial concubine, everyone is not talking about it in front of people now.

Of course, it's only limited to what people don't know in front of them.

Who made Mrs. Wang too arrogant, and who let the Xue family eat alone and violated the rules of the game? Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are sisters, and outsiders don't know about the two of them calculating each other, and they will only treat them as one and the Xue family as Mrs. Wang's vassals.

As for Jia Jiu, as Mrs. Xing's daughter, he was already very polite to just hint like this. Even Shi Xiangyun didn't know how to help Mrs. Wang speak. No matter how confused Shi Xiangyun is, no matter how happy Jia Baoyu is, he doesn't dare to argue with the emperor, saying that the conclusion that the emperor has made a decision on the guilt is not right.

Moreover, this kind of thing is already getting darker and darker. Jia Jiu did not name his name in his words, but told the truth. If it is refuted, it will only make Mrs. Wang's reputation even worse. It's better to be vague like this. At least, Mrs. Li and Li Wen, Li Qi, mother and daughter, didn't hear it. Because no one has told them these things.

Mrs. Wang is sick in her heart, and she has been locked up for several years, and her temperament is no longer what she used to be.

When Mrs. Wang was in the boudoir, she was also the same as Wang Xifeng, pungent and bright, after marrying into the Jia family, the mother-in-law on the upper two floors, one is more powerful than the other, and there is a very capable sister-in-law and a sharp-tongued sister-in-law below, but his husband Jia Zheng doesn't know how to protect him. Twenty or thirty years of unsatisfactory marriage have sharpened him into a "compassionate man" with a wooden mask.

If it weren't for the East Window incident, if it weren't for being confined to the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Wang would still be that compassionate person.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang was locked up in the Buddhist hall for six or seven years, and she couldn't even get out of the door, so she could only envy the scenery outside the room through the window. After six or seven years of such a life, Mrs. Wang's temperament became more and more eccentric.

Now he is fine on weekdays, but if he is in a hurry, he is the rhythm of becoming a shrew every minute.

It's also thanks to his old age and deep city, Jia Mu, who has been pressing him, sat on top again, letting him keep his senses, otherwise, he would have jumped up and scratched Jia Jiu's face.

Although Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, his expression still showed clues, so that Mrs. Li and Li Wen and Li Qi could see it clearly. It was the mother and daughter who didn't know anything about the Jia family before, and when they heard Jia Jiu's words, and then saw Mrs. Wang's changing expression, the mother and daughter also knew that something was wrong.

Something seems wrong?

Mrs. Li turned her gaze to her niece, but saw her niece with her head down, staring at her feet, as if a flower in a stone had suddenly bloomed under her feet.

Aunt Xue hurriedly played a round: "Each family has its own way." Our family is the same, there has always been only a matter of buying people, but there is no reason to sell people. ”

"Each family has its own way, I agree with this sentence." Jia Jiu nodded heavily, indicating that he also agreed with this sentence: "It's just that the more people like us, the more they should cherish their blessings." Even in the palace. When the palace maids reach their age, they will also ask for people's opinions and let them out. Not to mention us? Some people are safe and faithful, and they recognize our one master, and I will not drive them away. There are also those who have a smart boy at home who can't bear to delay the child's future, do I also force them to stay? That's a matter of staying and staying and staying as an enemy. ”

Shi Xiangyun keenly noticed Jia's mother's displeasure and immediately spoke. said: "Second sister, so decent, why did you talk about this?" I don't like to hear it. It's Sister Xing's jewelry. It's also the second sister's? Why haven't I seen my second sister wear it before? Looking at the style, it doesn't look like it is in Beijing. ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "Yes." This is a festival gift sent by an official who went to Beijing to report on his work, saying that it is popular in Jiangnan. I see him exquisite. It's in the box. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "So to speak. The second sister really hasn't worn it. ”

Jia Jiu said: "That's natural. I often go in and out of the palace, and there are rules for the clothes and jewelry in the palace, and there is no mistake in the slightest. This kind of Jiangnan style jewelry, just wear it at home and play with it, if you wear it to the palace, who knows if something will happen. But in your own home, you are all from your own family, so you don't have to be too particular. So these out-of-home jewelry. Most of them are pressed to the bottom of the box. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Speaking of which, the sisters in the family. It's the second sister's jewelry. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "I have a lot of jewelry, and when my eldest sister was at home, she also had a lot of jewelry." Sister Yun, you forgot jì, in our family, the girls who are going to participate in the draft are different, and the proportion of clothes and jewelry is also more than that of the other sisters. When I was young, I was very envious of my big sister, who had new clothes to wear every day and new jewelry every month. The big sister's jewelry, which I think about now, is magnificent and magnificent. ”

Jia Mu smiled at this time: "Second girl, you envy your eldest sister, why don't you know that others are envying you?" Count for yourself, how much jewelry do you have in your hand that was rewarded by the palace? If nothing else, let's just say that the real gold bracelet on your wrist is full of real gold, which is the dignity that Banzai personally wears with you today, and others can't ask for it. You're still talking here. ”

There was blame in Jia Mu's tone, but more than that, it was pride.

Jia Jiu can be appreciated by the emperor, for Jia Mu, it is an honorable and worthy of boasting.

Mrs. Li said: "Last time, I noticed this bracelet on Junjun's wrist, this kind of bracelet is not an ordinary identity can be used. I've been muttering in my heart for the past few days, and I've never dared to ask. But it turned out to be put on by Banzai for the county monarch's mother? ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly said, "That was six years ago. I was eight years old that year, and the first time I entered the palace, whoever wanted to enter the eyes of Banzai and the queen's mother, and my mother and I got a bracelet. To this day, I still feel like I'm dreaming. ”

Jia Mu said this, in fact, it is also a kind of show-off, showing off that Jia Jiu will definitely soar in the future, maybe it will be more glorious than Jia Yuanchun.

However, Jia Jiu couldn't sit idly by and watch the rumors arise, so he vaguely passed by, but emphasized his age at the time, and also blurred the fact that the emperor personally wore a bracelet for him. The same thing was streamlined by him with Spring and Autumn brushwork, and the feelings that the story brought to others were completely different.

When Mrs. Wang first heard Jia's mother's words, she was like a fire burning her heart, and she was very tormented. In his opinion, this is Jia's mother going to give up his daughter and support Jia Jiu instead. Otherwise, Jia Mu would not have created momentum for Jia Jiu now. What made him happy was that Jia Jiu was very disgusted with Jia Mu doing this, and reacted quickly.

Mrs. Wang knows very well what kind of person her mother-in-law is. Just like what happened back then, at the beginning, when the prince was there, Jia Yu was the companion and confidant of the prince, originally, the Jia family should be the person of the prince, but her mother-in-law didn't know what to think, and she even let her husband communicate with the rest of the princes. Later, the prince died for some reason, Prince Lao Yizhong ascended the throne, and the old lady ordered the eldest son Jia Yu, who was mourning for the prince at that time, to go to Prince Lao Yizhong to make incense, and after Jia Yu refused, the mother and son were completely evil.

Although it was said that the Wang family and Jia Zheng both bet on the right treasure later, in Mrs. Wang's heart, she still looked down on Jia's mother's behavior very much.

You must know that this kind of behavior is taboo from above in many cases, not to mention that when the prince was alive, he treated Jia Yu quite well. As a result, before the bones were cold and the grave was not dry, Jia Yu turned to Prince Lao Yizhong, what does this make others think of this former prince's henchman?

Mrs. Wang admired Jia Yu's decision, but she also knew that it was precisely because of Jia's mother's behavior that he seized the opportunity.

Man does not perish for his own sake.

Mrs. Wang thinks so. He also felt that he had done nothing wrong at that time. His only mistake was to misestimate the emperor's evaluation of Jia Yu. This is also the realization that Mrs. Wang has gained in the past few years in the Buddhist hall.

Because Jia Yu was mourning for the prince and insisted on refusing to join the old Prince Yizhong, the emperor would look at Gao Jia Yu; Therefore, the emperor chose to abandon his brother when Jia Jiu sued the emperor; Therefore, after receiving the case, the emperor will signal the following to investigate strictly.

The reason for this is because of Jia Yu's loyalty to the prince. And their Wang family, even if Wang Ziteng was already today's companion at that time, but behind the scenes, he did not have a secret relationship with the Wang girl, and even recognized his relatives. I just don't know about it.

When Wang Ziteng fell, Mrs. Wang wondered more than once whether the things of the year had been dug up. Otherwise, his elder brother Wang Ziteng would not have fallen so quickly.

It's just that for such an important matter, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to talk to others, so she could only press it in her heart. (To be continued......)
