Grandma Liu's incident is likely to be a major event in his life for Grandma Liu herself, maybe the fate of his family will change because of this, for Jia Jiu, it is just a matter of doing something that makes him feel comfortable one afternoon.

For him, the most important thing now is the message in front of him: Liang Lihua wants to come to visit in person.

It's a pretty formal formality. Under normal circumstances, unless it is to send several letters to Lin Ruhai with Jia's mother, grinding Lin Ruhai to send her daughter to Jia's house, and the main family sends an invitation and sends someone to pick it up, in other cases, like the Xue family, if you want to come to live with the Jia family, they will send the letter to the Jia family at least a month in advance, and get the consent of the Jia family, so that the Jia family has this time to clean up their houses and prepare rough slaves; Or if you want to stay for a short time (this time is less than or equal to one year), you must arrive ten years in advance. If you only stay for three or five days, then it is okay to deliver it three days early.

Like this post in Jia Jiu's hand, it was only one day early, which means that the guests will arrive the next day and go back on the same day.

Jia Jiu didn't think that Liang Lihua would come to Jia's house without any reason. Whether he is or the Jia family, he is not qualified to let this master visit the house in person. The only possible thing is, for another reason.

Jia Jiu immediately asked people to invite Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters.

When they were young, the two sisters Jia Qian and Jia Qing came hand in hand. I heard Jia Jiu ask him, "Do you know what happened to Confucianism recently?" ”

Jia Qing smiled: "Auntie, look at what you said, if it's okay." I can't come to see you? My aunt also underestimated herself. When the four maids in the house and the maids and ladies had all retreated, they heard him continue: "Auntie, if you can stand for thousands of years, how can Confucianism be so simple? Even I, a little girl, know how much to gain by getting a foot in my aunt's big plan. And even more so about them? As long as they take out a little bit, for them, it is just a drop in the ocean. But for those people, it is the money and food that can feed their village. Such a little thing can afford to lose even if it is defeated. But if you can win the hearts and minds of the people. That's a book of profits. In this world, the will of the people is the foundation of any force. ”

Jia Jiu sighed, tapped the prayer post on the kang table, and said, "People's hearts? As long as it is involved with people's hearts. Anything becomes ethereal and untouchable. Rather than relying on this kind of thing, it is better to rely on yourself. ”

"But there's a trace, isn't it?"

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "I hope that's the case." Sister Liang is not easy to pass. I'm going to discuss this with my father and brother. ”

Jia Qingdao said: "That's right, aunt." The most important expense of my aunt's big plan is land, and my aunt can decide where and when she wants to buy land. ”

Jia Jiu looked at Jia Qing and said, "Do you want to do it now?" There is no hurry. It's too early to start. The imperial court has not moved until now. Once there is movement, I am afraid that the turmoil will not be small. It's not something that can solve the problem by killing a batch. Let the people of the Daomen help raise those people first. Wait until the second half of the year. ”

Jia Qing pouted and said, "It's going to be half a year?" ”

Jia Jiu glanced at him and said, "What, it's too early?" Then wait until November, no, just next year. ”

"Aunt! Nun! ”

Jia Jiu said: "Girl, remember, this turmoil is definitely not something that can be eliminated in a year and a half. At this time in previous years, as soon as the Lantern Festival passed, the posts of the hairpin flower club flew everywhere, but we have not received the post so far, if we are not excluded by the people of the whole Beijing division, or the people outside do not have the intention of holding a hairpin flower party at all. What do you think is the case? ”

Needless to say. They had just saved Princess Changle, and if no one else mentioned it, those royal princesses would definitely entertain them meaningfully. Since all the princesses who are married and have moved out of the palace, including the eldest princess of Jiashan, have not moved, it is obvious that they cannot move for some reason. 、

And this reason can only be a political reason.

It stands to reason that as a junior who has not yet started a family, the prayer stickers sent in from outside should first be sent from the concierge to the elders' residences, and then handed over to the younger generations after the elders have seen them. But Jia's mother is only the nominal person with the highest rank in the Rongguo Mansion, and his household registration is still in Ningguofu, if it weren't for Liang Lihua to come to the door in person, Jia Jiu would not be willing to tell Jia's mother.

Jia Jiu is very aware of Jia's mother's doting on Jia Baoyu, and almost can't wait to pile up all the good things in the world in front of Jia Baoyu. If Jia's mother knew that Liang Lihua was coming to Jia's house, he would definitely let Jia Baoyu attend and try his best to make Jia Baoyu close to Liang Lihua, and even did not hesitate to confuse others' eyes and make the illusion of friendship between Liang Lihua and Jia Baoyu, so as to achieve the goal of making Jia Baoyu the prime minister's son-in-law.

But what is Liang Lihua's identity, Jia Jiu will not know? If Jia Mu is really allowed to do this, then the Jia family will really be finished. It's just that since Liang Lihua is going to be a guest at the house, she can't help but let Jia's mother know.

Jia Jiu sighed and went to find his father Jia Yu first. As a son, Jia Yu still trusts his mother quite a lot, and he is more reluctant to trust his younger brother Jia Zheng than Jia's mother.

In Jia Yu's mind, Jia Zheng can be said to be synonymous with brazenness in this world. In Jia Yu's mind, the purpose of Lili was that Jia Zheng took advantage of Jia's mother's majesty to live in Rongxi Hall, but when something happened, the fault was put on Jia's mother's head. In ancient times, there was a legend of Ti Ying saving his father! Jia Zheng not only did not have the filial piety to apologize for his old mother, but also let his elderly mother carry the black pot for himself. Daqi is based on filial piety and advocates filial piety first.

But Jia Yu also knows very well that the fundamental matter between Jia Mu and Jia Zheng is that they are willing to fight and suffer. It is impossible for him to change Jia's mother's approach, let alone shake Jia's mother's maternal love for Jia Zheng. That's the doting he can't ask for.

After Jia Yu was silent for a while, he said, "With the old lady's usual practice." The old lady will definitely let you talk to Miss Liang in front of him on that day, and at that time, I am afraid that you can only talk to him about the ups and downs. ”

Jia Jiu listened. sighed and said, "Father, my daughter thinks the same way. As Miss Leung, why should he care about those who have it or not? He chose to come to our house because something must have happened outside. Originally, Sister Liang could have taken me to their house or went directly to Yuqing Mountain. But Sister Liang didn't do it. The reason why he will come to our house is nothing more than that something has happened to the Liang family. Becoming no longer safe can make him feel comfortable talking, or he doesn't think Yuqingshan is suitable for talking. In other words. There must be something wrong with the Liang family and the Daomen, which makes him feel that he must be careful. And the daughter here, as long as we have the heart. Naturally, we can guarantee that our words will not be leaked. ”

Jia Yu said: "Girl." I was thinking that what do you daughters have to say, why do you need to keep it so secret. What is the identity of Liang Lihua who you tell me honestly? ”

Jia Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, these are all speculations by daughters and there is no real evidence. The daughter just faintly felt that this Sister Liang had a deep relationship with Confucianism. ”

Jia Yu was taken aback and said, "Confucian? Isn't that the one I thought? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Father, there is news. Sister Liang has a very deep relationship with Baisha Academy, and is even likely to be the top level of Baisha Academy. The status of his father's Baisha Academy in Confucianism. You've probably heard of it, right? ”

Jia Yu said: "Baisha Academy, that place that only Confucians with excellent talents and virtues can enter? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Yes." ”

Jia Yu sighed and said, "If that's really the case, then it's no wonder that others will calculate him." You must know that Baisha Academy is one of the vanes of Confucianism, and it has been a Confucianism for many years. If you come out of Baisha Academy, even if you are an ordinary student, you are a great Confucian outside. Well, since you know all about this, the old lady may not know. It's almost impossible to think of avoiding the old lady now. If you want me to say, you might as well write to this Miss Liang now, tell him about the situation of our family, and ask him to be more considerate, and then you can use code words = to fight the edge. That's the only way. ”

Jia Jiu had no choice but to go back to the room and write a letter to Liang Lihua, and after reaching an agreement with Liang Lihua, he sent someone to inform Jia's mother.

When Xiaohong, who was in charge of the message, came to the upper room of Jia's mother's Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother was talking to Aunt Xue's Xue Baochai. These days, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai have been very attentive, often flattering Jia's mother, accompanying Jia's mother to talk, listen to plays, play cards and gamble money. They don't care about such a small bet either. What they care about is whether the Jia family can continue to be their umbrella.

Regarding the ups and downs outside, according to the rules, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the daughter returns to her parents' home.

According to the rules, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the daughter returns to her parents' home. Aunt Xue should take Xue Pan and Xue Baochai brothers and sisters to Wang's house. But the problem is that their family stayed at Jia's house that day. Wang Ziteng is Aunt Xue's own brother in the end, it is impossible for Aunt Xue not to go back to her parents' house on such an important day, the only reason why they will stay in the Jia family is because Wang Ziteng passed a message to them.

The daughter who married outside is not allowed to return to her parents' house during the Chinese New Year, and Xue Baochai only wants to get one possibility for such a thing, that is, something big is going to happen.

These days, Xue Baochai's heart is burning and anxious. It's a pity that there is no wind on his face at all. He is still in front of Jia's mother, talking to Jia's mother, making Jia's mother happy, still being the intimate big sister of Jia Baoyu and Tanchun, and still quietly flattering Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing. Even Jia Jiu ignored his abnormality.

saw Xiaohong kneeling on the ground and reporting to Jia's mother that Miss Liang was coming to visit Jia Jiu, and the happiest person was not Jia's mother. It's him Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai felt that the people who came out to socialize at this time and would come to visit Jia Jiu were either people who would stand tall in the turmoil, or people who were about to sink. If Wang Ziteng is replaced, Xue Baochai will definitely classify the other party as the former, but Liang Lihua is different. From that hairpin meeting, Xue Baochai vaguely guessed that the forces behind Liang Lihua were by no means simple, and this person would never have an accident.

So he immediately said hello to Jia's mother: "Old lady, this Miss Liang, the younger generation has seen it once." That time I followed my second sister to the mansion of Princess Duanrong to go to the hairpin flower party, that is, at that meeting, this Miss Liang and the second sister had a fight, that is, at that hairpin flower party. This Miss Liang became a first-class county gentleman. That was three years ago. ”

Mother Jia hurriedly asked, "How old is this Miss Liang?" ”

Xue Baochai replied: "At that time, Miss Liang was already fifteen or sixteen years old, right?" I don't want to ask about the exact age. It's just that it doesn't look much younger than Lian's second brother. I heard that he is the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Liang. Prime Minister Liang also opened an ancestral hall for him. There are also rumors that this Miss Liang is from a very noble background, and even the Yan family does not dare to snub him. ”

Mother Jia heard that Liang Lihua was already fifteen or sixteen years old back then, and she immediately stopped thinking in her heart: This age is not worthy of Jia Baoyu. When Xue Baochai mentioned Jia Lian, Jia's mother remembered that she was not only Jia Baoyu's grandson, but Jia Lian was also her grandson. And it's the eldest grandson, in her early twenties, and this fiancée doesn't know where she is!

Jia Mu immediately thought about it. After Jia Lian and Liang Lihua got married, they were able to bring all kinds of benefits to the Jia family. Jia Lian is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Liang, so he can naturally get the support of Prime Minister Liang, and Jia Baoyu, as Jia Lian's cousin, can of course also be taken care of by Prime Minister Liang. Even better. Jia Yu and Jia Zheng have already separated. Although Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu are cousins, they are not a family in terms of national law, and there is no need to shy away from many things. In other words, Prime Minister Liang supports his son-in-law, and he has to worry about others saying that he is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, but with Jia Baoyu, Prime Minister Liang does not have to be taboo so much.

Thinking like this, Jia's mother visited Liang Lihua. The more hot it is.

After breakfast the next day, Jia's mother sent Jia Baoyu to Jia Zheng's side. In order not to make Jia Baoyu suspicious, or offend people by being crooked, Jia's mother even sent Tanchun to go with Jia Baoyu, and sent Jia Jiu, Jia Qian and Jia Qing to the front to greet them, leaving the mother and daughter of the Xue family in front of them.

Aunt Xue actually wanted to meet the young lady of the prime minister's family, but she didn't dare to put any elders' scores in front of the other party, so she sat uneasily in front of Mother Jia, and he just sat at this moment, and when he turned around, he would avoid going to the blue yarn cupboard. 、

It's Xue Baochai, and he and Liang Lihua are also old acquaintances. Now that three years have passed, he is also curious about what Liang Lihua looks like. It's just that he also knows that his identity is not enough, but it is just an accessory to Jia Jiu, so he still sits in front of Jia Jiu with a dignified face.

But he has as few words as Jia's mother, and even like Jia's mother, he always unconsciously pays attention to the situation outside.

It's really like a year.

Xue Baochai only felt that time had still passed for a long, long time, and Jia Jiu had also gone for a long, long time, so why didn't anyone come back? Just as he was muttering in his belly, there was finally movement outside the door.

Three years have passed, and Liang Li has hardly changed, she is still wearing the same gold and red robe, still holding the gold and red umbrella in her hand, and her head is still decorated with gold jewelry with red coral and rubies. His face was still pale, and his expression was still cold. Even if he saluted Jia's mother, he was still very alienated and didn't see much heat.

Mother Jia didn't realize it and said, "You are the young lady of Prime Minister Liang's family?" Our two girls mentioned it to me, and it was really good. How old are you this year? Can you have someone at home? ”

This is a bit of a reliance on the old and selling the old. Moreover, Liang Lihua is the first time to come to the door, and she is an unmarried woman, so it is indeed a bit rude for Jia's mother to ask this. But Jia's mother's age is here. If he is eighty years old, as long as he does not kill people in the street, it is not rude for him to do anything or anything.

Liang Lihua smiled and said, "Let the old lady bother." My parents intend to keep me for two more years, and this family matter is not in a hurry. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Sister Liang, I don't think you are in a hurry, but there are too few people in the world who can be worthy of your sister." No matter who stands in front of his sister, he will always be ashamed of himself. ”

Liang Lihua smiled slightly and said, "In the next year's election, my sister is of the right age, I don't know what my sister can do?" ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "What's the calculation?" It depends on the meaning of the above. For girls like us, this marriage event may not necessarily be the turn of the parents. Not to mention, I'm still young, and it's too early to think about it. ”

Liang Lihua said: "Even if the hourglass sound is slow, there are still bamboo waves in a hurry. ”

Mother Jia was stunned, he thought that Liang Lihua was lamenting her marriage. Jia's mother is also from the past, when he was at Liang Lihua's age, he was only curious or shy about his marriage, in fact, if there is much love for his fiancé, it is all fake. Blind marriage and dumb marriage, before marriage, at most, you know what your future husband will look like, and you are lucky. I've only seen it once or twice, if there is any emotion that is cut off and messed up, the chances are really pitiful. So. At Liang Lihua's age, it is often the adults in the family who are anxious, and these girls are often looking forward to this day coming later, so that they can stay at home for one more day.

Although it was a little inexplicable, Jia Mu did think so at that time.

Jia Jiu immediately heard another meaning in these words. Maybe it was the code word the two of them had said in their letters.

Now, there is no action on it. The people below are also ready to move. In such a situation, the court still has to maintain calm on the surface, but not necessarily in private. Liang Lihua's words. It can be used to allude to one's own marriage, or it can be used to refer to the current situation.

The hourglass is slow, which means that the court has not moved so far, and the courtiers below are all waiting. Wait for the heart to burn. I can't bear it anymore, and I think the hourglass is going slowly. Tao means storm, which naturally means that the storm is evil. The wind and waves fell, the bamboo waves gusted, and the bamboo shadow left on the windowsill will definitely not be pleasing to the eye.

Jia Jiu said tentatively: "The bamboo waves are bursting, it is good that the wind is scary." It's a bamboo shadow that scares people, but after all, it's just a scary person. ”

The words are straightforward though. But there is another meaning behind this: don't blame the blame for self-defeat. There was no movement from above, in order to wait for the people below to show their flaws, and the more this happened, the more they could not move. The more turbulent the outside, the more panicked they are, the more stable they must be, and the more stable they are, the less likely it is to get into trouble. On the contrary, if the matter is not over, it will mess up itself, and that is to make trouble for yourself.

Liang Lihua squinted slightly, and said, "I hate songs for a long time." ”

Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred" describes the long poem of the love story between Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei, in the past, Emperor Tang Ming favored Yang Guifei, and even Bai Juyi described it in the poem, Emperor Tang Ming, who was still a Ming monarch at the beginning, actually "the king never reigned early" for Yang Guifei, so that in the end, he was still in a dream until he was driven out of the palace by the rebels. Datang fell because of this, and has been in a slump ever since. I'm not afraid that you will be frightened when you know that the crisis is coming, but I am afraid that you don't know anything about the crisis.

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "Everything is auspicious and evil has a sign. ”

Unless war is about to break out and all the rules and rules of the game are burned out by the war, as long as we follow certain laws, act according to certain rules, and do not meddle in certain things, we will naturally not end up in the point of ruin. Good things come with good signs. When disaster really happens, there will be an omen, and there is no need to be afraid. The Anshi Rebellion occurred that year, because Emperor Tang Ming favored Yang Guifei and even quit the dynasty for him. If it weren't for Emperor Tang Ming's own inability to control himself, no matter how powerful Yang Guifei was, there would be no later Anshi Rebellion.

The two of them have a sentence for you and a sentence for me, but Jia Mu listened to it very well:

"What kind of dumb riddle did you guess? That's it, you haven't seen each other for many years, and you have a lot to say, second girl, you can take Miss Liang to your place first. I'm tired too, so I'm going to lie down first. ”

Jia Mu originally wanted to let Xue Baochai stay and explain one or two to him, but after hesitating for a while, she still asked Xue Baochai to follow these two. Mother Jia always felt that her granddaughter had something to hide from herself. And the people he inserted in couldn't even get a word out. There is an advantage to letting Xue Baochai follow Jia Jiu, that is, he can be his eyes and ears and listen to the news for him.

To Jia's mother's surprise, when Jia Jiu took Liang Lihua into the back garden and passed by the rockery, Liang Lihua said: "Good place." This is the perfect place to smell the chickens and dance. ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "Sister Liang, don't say it, I haven't seen you for a few years, I'm no longer Wuxia Ameng." Why don't we practice? ”

Liang Lihua smiled: "Why not?" ”

A group of maids and maids immediately retreated to the nearby Huansha Pavilion, even Xue Baochai was no exception.

The gods fight, he just wants not to be the fish in the pond that was affected, where can he expect anything else.

When the last person crossed the wooden bridge, Liang Lihua's body was full of energy, her hair was windless, and then, the golden light rose red, and the blood jade sword was already in his hand.
