I don't know if someone deliberately released the news, or if there was someone in the Xue family in Lexintang, in short, not long after, Xue Baochai knew about Jia Jiu speaking for him in front of the Emperor Taishang.

Hearing the news, Xue Baochai sat in the house all night, and the next day went to greet Jia's mother with two panda eyes.

When Jia Mu saw Xue Baochai's appearance, she was startled: "Bao girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xue Baochai was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw that the house was full of people, and immediately understood that this was not his own house, but Jia's mother, and immediately reacted and said, "I made the old lady worried." Now the provincial villa has been repaired almost, but the plaque and couplet have not yet been settled, so they have their hearts. ”

Jia Mu replied; "What should I have done, this is it. It's also easy, as long as you spend two dollars, ask a few customers to take a look, and draw up a few? ”

Mrs. Wang smiled below: "Old lady, no matter what, it is also a provincial villa of Niangniangdao, how can it be so easy for outsiders to see it?" If you are a person who knows the roots, it is just that, but they were invited by a few Jieyu's families early on, and it is not appropriate to invite them now. The daughter-in-law thought that the few girls in the family were ready-made, and their literary talents were all first-class. Someday, let them go there for a walk, and also relax. First, it can be regarded as living up to the scenery of this garden, and secondly, this poetry plaque couplet or something, it is also available, and it is cheap. I just don't know what the old lady thinks? ”

The girls below, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun, Xue Baoqin and others were all excited when they heard that they could go out to play.

Jia Mu didn't have time to speak. But he heard Jia Qingdao: "Look at what my uncle and grandmother said, if you want me to say, it's better to let my uncle take Second Uncle Bao there." Heard. When Niangniang was at home, she had a very good relationship with Uncle Bao, and Uncle Bao was still enlightened by Niangniang herself. Niangniang has been in the palace for so many years, and I think I remember my family and Uncle Bao's homework. If you can see Uncle Bao Jinyi with your own eyes, I am afraid that Niangniang will be happier. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, her heart was also moved. Turning his head to look at Mrs. Wang, he saw that Mrs. Wang was a little moved, and his heart softened. said: "No, the big girl has been in the palace for so many years, I'm afraid she remembers Baoyu." What's more, everything in this provincial villa is not very appropriate now. Artisans come in and out. It's not very convenient for the girls to go over, so let's let the second child take Baoyu over. After a pause, he said: "The second child is in a hurry, the second child's family, you go with you, if there is anything, you can also take care of one or two." ”

Jia Baoyu was also very happy when he heard that he could go outside to play. But after hearing it, he actually asked him to go out with his father Jia Zheng. But the face fell. He grabbed Jia Mu's arm and shook it vigorously, hoping that Jia Mu would change her mind, but he didn't expect Jia Mu to ignore it at all.

Jia Baoyu took Jia's mother's hand and said with a sad face: "Old lady......"

Mother Jia looked at this grandson and sighed, and said, "Good boy, don't worry, just go, there is me." Your father will not dare to do anything to you. ”

Jia Baoyu knew that she couldn't change Jia's mother's mind, and her ears drooped down, like a depressed puppy.

Mrs. Wang looked at her son's unpromising appearance, and the anger in her heart couldn't be extinguished.

Of course, it is impossible for him to lose his temper with his son in front of outsiders and sweep his son's face.

Mrs. Wang pretended to be worried and said, "Old lady, now Niangniang is a qiēshun lì here." Just wait for the garden to be complete, so that I can ask the mother to save her relatives. It's the second girl's side, I heard that it's very bad. ”

Jia Mu didn't react at first.

Jia Jiu has always been good, and he never let him worry about it, but it was Jia Yuanchun's side that was first kicked out of the palace: it took the old nose to enter = went in again, but there was no movement at all; When the family was about to give up completely, he suddenly became the imperial concubine.

To be honest, compared to Jia Jiu, Jia Mu is even more worried about Jia Yuanchun. He was afraid that this granddaughter would do something behind her back, anger the above, and drag down the family.

Therefore, when Mrs. Wang spoke, Jia's mother's first reaction was: Why isn't she a big girl?

Jia Mu didn't think about Jia Jiu at all.

But Mrs. Wang, seeing that Jia's mother hadn't reacted for a long time, and seeing Aunt Xue's mother and daughter sitting still, she had to say bluntly to Jia's mother: "Old lady, I don't know if you've heard, the second girl was grounded in the palace." ”

Jia Mu was stunned, but he still didn't react.

On the contrary, Jia Qingxian laughed: "Uncle and grandmother, what you say, your nephew and granddaughter are confused to hear." Don't say anything else, let's just say that the identity of the aunt, although the name is Junjun, after all, she is the daughter of a foreign minister, even if she angers the palace, she will only drive the aunt out, how to ban the aunt's feet? It is forbidden to do it, and I have to press my aunt back anyway, so that my aunt's feet can be forbidden at home. How could you leave your aunt in the palace? This is not like a punishment for my aunt, but a favor for my aunt. Uncle and grandmother, didn't you hear it wrong? ”

The implication is naturally that Mrs. Wang refers to the deer as a horse, and it is clear that the person who is grounded is Jia Yuanchun, but she points to Jia Jiu to speak.

Mrs. Wang immediately became anxious: "Old lady, the daughter-in-law is not lying, don't believe it, you ask the treasure girl." ”

Xue Baochai was helpless, so he had to stand up again and said, "Old lady, second wife, I got the news yesterday evening, it is said that Her Royal Highness the princess has lost her honor in front of the palace and has been grounded for several days. It's the second sister, who was invited by the Emperor Taishang a few days ago, followed the Emperor Taishang and the two eldest princesses to fish together, and played in Shanglin Yuan for a whole day. ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes immediately widened, and she said, "Bao girl, you didn't say that yesterday. ”

Jia Mu said: "Okay, can you talk nonsense about things in this palace?" Even if the big girl is a mother, some things still can't be passed out of the palace. The people below don't know the root cause, and there are also people who say the wrong thing. What do you do? ”

asked Xue Baochai again: "Bao girl, is it true that the second girl accompanied the Emperor Taishang to visit Lin Yuan?" ”

Xue Baochai replied: "Old lady, it's not swimming in the upper forest garden, but fishing in the upper forest garden. I heard that the Emperor Taishang caught a carp weighing more than two catties. The second sister caught a big herring that was eight feet long and weighed two hundred catties. I heard that as soon as the fish came ashore, even the people around me were stupid. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately sat up straight. Eagerly asked, "And then?" ”

Xue Baochai hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

How does he speak?

A two-hundred-pound fish, even if it is a herring, is not a fish when it reaches this weight, it is the incarnation of a dragon. Ordinary people take such a big fish to the town, who would be willing to eat it?

The Emperor Taishang has fished all his life, and the largest one is only five or six catties. As a result, Jia Jiu caught such a rare thing for the first time when he fished, not to mention the people who served on the side. Even the Emperor Taishang is stupid. However, this county lady still thinks that this fish is rough and can't be eaten, but it is only worthy of being used to light the fire, which scares everyone enough. Even this master insisted. Such a big herring, the meat connected to the back and stomach is the most delicious, but the emperor had to agree to the conditions before releasing the big herring?

Or is it that Jia Jiu accompanied the Emperor Taishang to eat a whole fish banquet in Lexin Hall, and the old man and the other were happy to eat, but they ate too happily, and the two of them put the many plates on the side without touching them. Just stared at the plate of steamed crucian carp in front of Quan Chang? Then Jia Jiu didn't care about the identity of the emperor, and actually made the first move?

Don't say it's spoken. Even now, Xue Baochai himself still can't believe it.

Xue Baochai didn't even believe what he heard, thinking that someone was making fun of him, how could he open his mouth in front of Jia Mu? That's too inconsistent with his personality in front of Jia's mother.

Seeing Xue Baochai's hesitation, and seeing Mrs. Wang's expression, Jia Mu said, "Also, where can things in the palace be said casually?" If even the affairs of the emperor can be spread to the outside, then it is not too emperor. Bao girl doesn't know that that's normal. ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she also said: "It's still the old lady who is well-informed. Changed us, but I was afraid that I was also frightened, and I forgot that there was such a rule. ”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Even people like us are taboo about such things?" Not to mention the palace? Even if there is a similar thing, eighty percent of it is also true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately said, "But the old lady ......."

Jia Mu waved her hand indifferently and said, "The second family, I know that you are careful of your mother, so I asked people to inquire everywhere." But you also have to know that it was very taboo to listen to the palace. Before you do something, please think about whether it will affect the big girl. ”

Mrs. Wang's face flushed suddenly.

Although he was accustomed to Jia Mu not giving him face everywhere, it was the first time to talk about Jia Yuanchun.

Madame Wang lowered her head, but the white knuckles showed the resentment in his heart.

Mother Jia doesn't have to care about Mrs. Wang's love, and the Li family's mother and daughter don't have to care about Mrs. Wang's love, but the Xue family can't care less.

The Xue family swayed between Mrs. Wang and Jia Jiu, scolding Jia Jiu vigorously for a while, and scolding Mrs. Wang for a while, offending Jia Jiu to death, for the sake of not being the signboard of their family?

The Xue family's wavering attitude is Xue Baochai's wavering heart.

Xue Baochai always thought that as long as he did his best, Mrs. Wang would find a way for him to get the imperial merchant signboard. But until now, the Xue family has taken so much money and so many manpower and material resources to enter, and they have not received a word of gratitude from Mrs. Wang, but they have been chased by him to ask for the silver money for the stones. And every time Mrs. Wang mentioned the batch of stones, she pretended to be generous and said, "I only need 10 million taels of silver." That kind of attitude made Xue Baochai want to scratch Mrs. Kao's face.

If it weren't for the two mothers and daughters, would their Xue family's imperial merchant signboard be lost? Does he Xue Baochai still use the list of small selections to beg grandpa to sue grandma? Will the Xue family still spend so much unjust money?

Xue Baochai's heart hated.

If it weren't for this mother and daughter, he Xue Baochai would have entered the palace and been thrown out?

In the past, Xue Baochai couldn't see hope, so he chose to betray Jia Jiu and stand with Mrs. Wang. Because of years of getting along, Xue Baochai knows that although this Jia Junjun nods, he will help, but it is not easy for this Junjun to nod. Xue Baochai has lived in Jia's house for so many years, and the number of times Jia Jiu has nodded to him is only a handful.

This made Xue Baochai very difficult. Therefore, Xue Baochai chose Mrs. Wang, because no matter what happened to him, Mrs. Wang would nod her head and tell him how things had happened. Although it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in Mrs. Wang's words, it can make Xue Baochai feel at ease.

So Xue Baochai chose Mrs. Wang.

But now, Xue Baochai clearly saw that Mrs. Wang did not bring him much benefit, but coveted the last bit of the Xue family's family background, but it was Jia Jiu, who had helped him Xue Baochai and their Xue family a lot over the years, and even recommended him in the ears of the Emperor.

rushed to this last point, and let Xue Baochai, who was already guilty and grateful to Jia Jiu, shoot the chips in his heart to Jia Jiu's side.

Following his own aunt, the Xue family's silver money was moved outside box by box, and the other party was not satisfied, and hoped that the Xue family would come up with more money; Following that Jia Junjun, the Xue family got more money than paying, and it was safer and more stable.

Xue Baochai regretted it very much.

Why did you break up with the other party because the other party didn't want much of your own things? Even if the other party rarely makes any statements, what the other party does is real, much better than his aunt who only knows how to brag.

It's just that when he turns around, is the second sister willing to help him again?

Xue Baochai's heart is unsettled.

Shi Xiangyun was overjoyed when he saw Mrs. Wang glaring at Xue Baochai, but he couldn't refute Jia's mother's words clearly, so he could only pretend to be curious and said: "Sister Bao, did the second sister really catch a big fish weighing two hundred catties in the palace?" Really? ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was also excited: "No, I have never seen a fish of two hundred catties." Old lady, how big is a fish of 200 catties? ”

Jia Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Two hundred catties of herring, to say the least, is it seven or eight feet long?" ”

Jia Baoyu gestured and said, "Seven or eight feet? Isn't that taller than a man? The fish has great strength in the water, how did the second sister catch him? ”

Mrs. Wang listened and said with a smile: "Baoyu, others may not have such strength, your second sister will definitely be able to do it." He's a man who's been on the battlefield. ”

Jia Mu immediately put down her face and said to Mrs. Wang: "The second girl was cultivated by the Daomen, so she is naturally not bad. Don't say that ordinary people, even when their father-in-law was alive, didn't have so much strength! ”

Mrs. Wang immediately said, "Yes." My father was also unlucky, and he had never fished such a large arowana. Old lady, the blessing of the second girl is still to come. (To be continued......)
