Jia Yu didn't even sue Jia's mother, if it wasn't for the knot, it would be a matter of importance.

Lady Baolinghou and Lady Zhongjinghou were both smart people, and they immediately got the message they wanted.

Mrs. Baolinghou reacted very quickly, and immediately went up to help Mother Jia sit down, and stood on the ground and said: "Old lady, I see, the eldest cousin didn't deliberately not tell the old lady, but had no choice." Our Hou Ye is also very restless these days, and he wants to move around to find a real shortage for himself, but he is afraid that the changes in the outside will trap him. These days, our Hou Ye's hair has fallen out a lot. To be honest, my nephew and daughter-in-law came over today, first, to visit the old lady, and secondly, to see if there was any news from the house. Since the nieces and daughters have said so, eighty percent are almost the same. Our Hou Ye has been tossing for several months, and now that he has this quasi-letter, he thinks he can have a good year with peace of mind. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately said: "These days, he hasn't moved? ”

Mrs. Baolinghou sighed, bowed her head and said nothing, but Mrs. Zhongjing Hou replied: "Old lady, I can't hide it, our Hou Ye has also been anxious for many days. Hou Ye said that Long Live Lord felt most sorry for Princess Changle, but he had to send Princess Changle to kiss. If it can really be exchanged for peace, it will be fine, if not, I am afraid that there will be some turmoil in the court. The words are still in my ears, and something happened in the north, but there are still people who don't know whether to live or die to whitewash the peace, and the result is out of control. Before, the imperial court was busy cleaning up the mess and couldn't spare manpower and time, but now. But it's not. What's more, Princess Changle has suffered such a big grievance, how can the emperor endure this breath? ”

Mrs. Baolinghou and Mrs. Zhongjinghou have been muttering in their hearts for many days. They also want to thrive, even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their children. Higher officials mean higher income, both legal and illegal, as well as gray income in the middle. It's not that they don't know about the things outside, they just see that there is no movement on the top. So I was lucky, thinking that after so long, the above has not been investigated, and there will be no big action in the future.

But the message in Jia Jiu's words and Jia Yu's expression sounded the alarm again.

The title of Marquis of Baoling was obtained from his elder brother, Shi Xiangyun's father. The title of Marquis of Zhongjing was obtained in exchange for military exploits. One is luck, the other is a death battle, compared to Jia Yu, even the two marquis themselves admit it behind their backs. He is not as good as Jia Yu.

If there is no Jia Jiu sue the royal court. If there is no Jia Yu meritorious service and the title of Marquis, the historian will definitely continue to treat Jia Yu as a waste snack, but the reality is that how many soldiers in Daqi have folded under the iron hooves of the Di people, and only An Yuanwei, where Jia pardon Jia Lian, has been well guarded for two years!

Whether it's Jia Yu's luck, or someone behind him, or Jia Yu's own ability, Jia Yu survived anyway. He also made a contribution. In the eyes of historians, Jia Yu is a capable person - luck is also ability. It's also capital - look at Jia Yu's life again, it turns out that their reputation for Jia Yu is that they only know that the otaku and gentlemen who only know how to spend money to play antiques and women have become powerful characters who endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, have the ability and vision. After all, if someone else had changed, he would not have been nesting in the back garden for more than ten years, watching others empty all their property, but this master did it, not only did it, but also completely remained silent, and no one doubted whether he was dissatisfied in his heart. Then, with a snap, he turned the tables, and the person who hurt him was gone, but he looked at the other party from above, as if the other party was an ant, and it was not worth his cold eyes at all.

Therefore, how much the Shi family ignored Jia Yu in the past, now they attach great importance to Jia Yu, and when they see Jia Yu staying at home, they think that Jia Yu knows something, so they also learn from Jia Yu to stay at home. Today, it's really because they can't go on anymore, so they came to find out the news. - They had also come to Jia's house before, but Jia Yu was too difficult to deal with, and he didn't reveal any news at all, or this niece was easy to send away, and such an important message was set out in a few words.

Mrs. Baolinghou and Mrs. Zhongjinghou got the answer they wanted, sat down at Jia's house for a while, and then took Shi Xiangyun back. It was Mrs. Wang Ziteng who turned to the back, said a few words to Aunt Xue, and told Xue Baochai a few words before saying goodbye and leaving.

It was Xue Baochai, who got the words of his aunt, but after returning to the room, he was very worried.

He has been in Jia's house for a few years, and when he first came to Jia's house, he only cared about pleasing Jia's mother and Jia Jiu, but he didn't look down on Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters, thinking that they just relied on luck to fall into this golden nest of wealth. But at this moment, these two people who are not as good as themselves in terms of age, generation, appearance, and talent have all been knighted, and it is impossible to say that Xue Baochai is not hot. But there is no way, who told him that he has no luck? There is no powerful father, no capable brother, and no outstanding uncle, what he Xue Baochai has is just Xue Pan, an unsuccessful brother.

Today, his aunt, Mrs. Wang Ziteng, brought him a piece of news, that is, the palace is about to start selecting talented people again.

This time, Princess Changle was really wronged in the north, and the people he was used to dying on the grassland all died, and now the people around Princess Changle turned out to be the people around Concubine Li, who had just passed away, it can be seen that even if these people become the people around Princess Changle, it is impossible to gain the trust of Princess Changle, so as long as he can enter the second election, he will be able to make himself a confidant of Princess Changle, and he will naturally be able to help his family and let the Xue family return to the ranks of imperial merchants.

This news is undoubtedly a booster, and it is very important for Xue Baochai and the Xue family.

The question is, how do you get into the sight of Princess Changle.

You know, in this kind of thing, there are people behind and no one behind them, and there is a long way off. If there is someone behind him, then he will definitely be able to go to Princess Changle's side, if there is no one behind him, it is still a trivial matter to lose the election, and he is afraid that he will go to places like Ping'an Prefecture and Ding'an Prefecture.

After thinking about it, Xue Baochai felt that he should have arranged it on the ground as soon as possible.

He sat under the lamp and pondered for a long time, but still felt that maybe he should have a good relationship with Jia Qian. However, Jia Qian has a very good relationship with his sister Jia Qing, since he wants to win over Jia Qian, then his sister Jia Qing can't be left behind. In Xue Baochai's opinion, her sister Jia Qing is a good person, as long as she sends some gold, silver and goods and other things, she will probably be able to mix it up, but her sister Jia Qian's preferences are elusive. This Jia Qian said that he has no temper and is not noticeable, he is indeed very peaceful, unlike his sister Jia Qing, this Jia Qian has always had a temper that does not fight or grab, and rarely blushes with others. In addition, Jia Qian has not been in the house for several years, and Xue Baochai's impression of him is weak. asked Xue Baochai to tell Jia Qian's preferences, Xue Baochai really couldn't say it.

Xue Baochai found out what he was missing.

Some people really don't need it right now, that doesn't mean that you have the right to ignore the other party, God knows when you will need to borrow the other party's power.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but regret his short-sightedness in the past.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have been able to do a better job and do it all.

In front of the lights, Xue Baochai secretly swore to himself, but he was not slow in his hands. He had already sent something to the Huansha Pavilion in the name of congratulatory gifts before, and if he sent another expensive gift, he was afraid that he would be suspicious. In such a situation, there was only an excuse for the rare things sent from the shop to share this reason with Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qing and others. It's just that in this way, you can't give away very valuable things.

There are a lot of shops in the Xue family, and now Xue Baochai has a lot in his hands, but since it has been decided that it is a rare thing, then in the Xue family's shop, the pawnshop and the silver building cannot be moved. The Xue family originally bought miscellaneous materials for the palace, such as sandalwood fans, sachets, and sachets from Suzhou and Hangzhou, which could be used as gifts. It's just that it's winter now, and this fan is not easy to deliver.

But if you send needle and thread, you feel that it is too deliberate.

Ying'er is worthy of being Xue Baochai's confidant, and even said: "The girl is a matter of going to the door?" In the maid's opinion, the girl can go to the second girl first, but the second girl is the county king, several levels higher than the big girl Qian, and she eats double portions. It seems that the two people in the Huansha Pavilion are high-spirited, and if the girl begs them directly, I am afraid that they will be unhappy. It's the second girl, he is a good talker, and the second girl also stayed in the palace this time, which shows that Her Royal Highness the princess is not bad for the second girl. The second girl's birthday is also approaching, so why not give the girl a valuable gift? ”

This reminded Xue Baochai. In Xue Baochai's opinion, he had already neglected Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters a little at the beginning, and these two sisters did not feel very good about themselves, and if they wanted to turn it around, it would not happen overnight. Moreover, when he went to beg them at this time, he did not suspect Jia Qian's life-saving grace to the princess. Instead of going to the Huansha Pavilion to run into a wall, it is better to find Jia Jiu directly.

Xue Baochai flipped through the account books, and finally found a set of extremely delicate pure gold jewelry inlaid with beads and treasures in the pawnshop, with a beautiful box, and stayed up for several nights, and finally drove out the four pages of the Four Gentlemen's screen, framed it, and personally sent it to Jia Jiu.
