In other words, Mrs. Wang left Xiangxue Villa, and his expression was a little wrong.

What Mrs. Wang is most proud of in her life is that he has an older brother who is rising step by step, and three promising children: Jia Zhu, who can read, Jia Yuanchun, who has a noble life, and Jia Baoyu, who has a background. Jia Zhu, the son he gave high hopes to six years ago, is gone, and Mrs. Wang has suffered a blow, and now Jia Jiu tells him that his daughter and son with a background are the same as the thorns in the flesh in the eyes, how can Mrs. Wang stand it?

After Jia Zhu's death, Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, and her temperament became more and more extreme. He didn't want to believe Jia Jiu's words, and he didn't want to believe Jia Jiu's words, but his girl Jin Chu'er remembered it, even if she supported Mrs. Wang to go back step by step, Jin Chu'er's eyes were still full of fear.

If Banzai really doesn't like Bao Erye, then what will happen to Bao Erye? What about the mother?

Jin Chu'er is not Mrs. Wang, and she is not as confident in Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu as Mrs. Wang. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, but he didn't dare to show any clues in front of Mrs. Wang.

In case, in case this second wife is crazy, he, a big girl, is the first one who can't run away.

However, Jin Chu'er did not dare to act rashly. From Xiangxue Villa to the courtyard where Mrs. Jia Zhengwang lives now from the small gate in the northeast corner of the back garden through the green fence east wind, such a short distance can be completed in just over a quarter of an hour in the past, and it took the master and servant two full half an hour.

Walking out of the small door, Mrs. Wang saw Xue Baochai with Ying'er, and her heart moved. grabbed Jin Chu'er's arm fiercely, Jin Chu'er was in pain, and frowned suddenly. Snorted. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mrs. Wang staring at him, and he was even more stunned and lowered his head.

Mrs. Wang quickly sorted out her thoughts and slowly entered the courtyard.

As soon as he walked into the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw Xue Baochai holding his knees and standing up one by one: "Auntie is back." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Bao girl." Why are you here, but is there anything on the ledger that needs to be asked of me? ”

These days, Xue Baochai is haggard. Mrs. Wang saw it in her eyes, he originally thought that it was because the Xue family's silver root was almost squeezed by him, Xue Baochai was anxious, so he brought it out on his face. But now it looks. There was nothing going on in the Xue family at all.

Mrs. Wang raised the estimate of the Xue family's property in her heart to another level.

Xue Baochai's mood is of course very good. He has already sent someone to contact the Cao family. The Cao family did let the people of the Xue family personally see the one million stones imitating Taihu Lake stone. According to the reports of those who came back, those Taihu stones can almost be fake. Xue Baochai has already asked people to find the maiden families of Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Zhou De, and I heard that the two families also have this intention.

You must know that the authentic Taihu stone, Yundao Jingli, one stone will cost ten taels of silver, but he only bids six taels, as long as he sells 200,000 stones. The capital will come back; If it can be sold for 500,000 stones, then the silver money that the Xue family invested in the Jia family's provincial villa will be earned; If you can sell 800,000 stones. Then, the Xue family will not only not lose money, but will also be able to make a lot of money.

Xue Baochai is not afraid that these two families will not want it, and he is not afraid that these imitation Taihu Lake stones will not be sold. Even if there is no Wu family and Zhou family, there are still a few concubines below, right?

At this moment, Xue Baochai wished that there were more Taihu stones in these provincial villas, a little more, so that he could earn more. This mentality is diametrically opposed to his state of mind five days ago.

Almost seeing a large amount of silver in the account, Xue Baochai was in a very good mood, and when he faced Mrs. Wang, he smiled even sweeter.

Aunt and nephew and daughter have their own thoughts, but this face is still affectionate, Xue Baochai saluted Mrs. Wang, courtesy but not flattering, Mrs. Wang smiled and accepted the salute, her demeanor was kind but not intimate, if it was an outsider, I was afraid that I would think that they were my ancestors and grandchildren.

After entering the main hall, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but ask Xue Baochai again: "Bao girl, how did you do about the Taihu Stone?" When will you send someone to the south? ”

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, this Taihu stone has been delivered, and it will be able to be transported to the provincial villa tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Wang said curiously: "Two days ago, when I was talking to your mother, he was spitting out, as if there was something wrong with this matter. I also said that if it doesn't work, then increase the price, and I can't let my mother lose face in front of Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Zhou De. Your mother is stumbling, and you don't know what to say to me. I'm so anxious~ Why did you come to me today and tell me that the Taihu Stone has arrived. Why don't you have any news from your mother? ”

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Auntie, you also know that my mother is the most gentle, so she doesn't take care of things when she is at home." The matter of this Taihu stone, it turned out that the asking price in the south was too high, and it turned out that it was almost ten taels of silver for one stone when it was transported to Beijing. If we do what they ask, we will not be able to fill in all the money we have. ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, snorted, and said, "I knew that I would have given up this face and begged the old lady to let the old lady move all the Taihu stones in this mansion." You don't know, behind the second girl's house, there are a lot of good stones, and there is a rockery with stones. It's really annoying, Niangniang has worked hard for so many years and paid so much, and now she is finally coming back, and she can't even compare to the second girl......"

Obviously, the life in the Buddhist hall has devastated Mrs. Wang a lot. The current Mrs. Wang, but anyone who catches her will complain twice, plus his appearance has changed greatly, now, Jia Zheng is no longer proud of his kindness, and he refuses to enter his house, let alone appease him, even if Jia Yuanchun has become the imperial concubine.

Jia Zheng's attitude made the people below also contempt Mrs. Wang, not to mention that Aunt Zhao, who has always made trouble, even Aunt Zhou, who has always been peaceful, is faintly not dealing with Mrs. Wang.

Such a situation also made Mrs. Wang's heart more and more depressed, and she complained more when she saw others.

If Jia Jiu or Jia Qing were here, they would definitely say it. Mrs. Wang was a little nervous when she was locked up.

But these minions of the Jia family, these minions of Jia Zheng here, which one will be considerate? Jia Yu's over there is fine. It has been sorted out several times, but Jia Zheng's side is still ridiculous. Seeing Mrs. Wang's behavior like this, those minions didn't come forward to appease them, so they saw them sneaking out to hide and make up a few more words for Mrs. Wang.

Xue Baochai saw these things, but these were all matters of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's family, and he was the daughter of the Xue family. Therefore, he maintained the habit of asking questions and not knowing anything, and regarded them as ignorant of these things that did not make trouble in front of him.

But. When he was in front of Mrs. Wang, he was Mrs. Wang's most intimate niece and daughter.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was getting worse and less like the more she talked, Xue Baochai also knew that she couldn't let Mrs. Wang continue. He was not afraid of offending Mrs. Wang, after all, Mrs. Wang was still just a commoner. Besides, he has entered the palace. It was Mrs. Wang Jia Yuanchun who got him out, so Xue Baochai's evaluation of Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun was really not high.

He just didn't want people to think that he was just like Mrs. Wang, and he was dissatisfied with Jia Jiu.

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Auntie, you can blame the second sister for this, this time I am also worried about the matter of Taihu Lake Stone, or the second sister is the matchmaker, and the Cao family helped us get a batch of good Taihu Stone." The price is not expensive. ”

Mrs. Wang immediately glanced sideways: "But the authentic Taihu Stone?" ”

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't worry. My brother took the old shopkeeper in the shop and said that they are all good Taihu stones. ”

In fact, Xue Pan's original words were. If I hadn't known in advance that these were imitations, I was afraid that the old worshippers in the shop would have thought that this was the Taihu Lake stone transported from the south.

Mrs. Wang said: "The second girl will be so kind? ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "Auntie, although the second sister's temper is more squeamish, he is the most kind-hearted, isn't he?" For the sake of the homeless people in Beijing, in the past few years, the second sister has calculated how many times in the background, until she lobbied Princess Changle, Princess Lanling, and Princess Jiashan, and then she achieved her wish. He is still like this to outsiders, let alone a big sister? ”

Mrs. Wang muttered and said, "I'm afraid that in his heart, our mother and son are not even as good as outsiders." ”

When Mrs. Wang said this, she was very unconfident in her heart. First, because of what he did to Jia Jiu at the beginning, he didn't think that Jia Jiu would let him go so lightly; Second, it was because of the conversation in Xiangxue Villa. Mrs. Wang saw very clearly that Jia Jiu actually disagreed with him for Jia Yuanchun to repair the provincial villa. It's just that the above nodded, and he had to give in to a girl's family.

Although Mrs. Wang is very proud of her daughter outside, in private, she still cares a lot about what Jia Jiu said.

Mrs. Wang was sure that Jia Jiu's words did not deceive him.

Mrs. Wang was a little overwhelmed.

In Mrs. Wang's opinion, it is a very proud thing for her daughter to become the imperial concubine, but Mrs. Wang also knows that Jia Jiu has no need to deceive him at all.

Mrs. Wang could see that Jia Jiu herself didn't care about whether she could enter the palace or not.

This is also where Mrs. Wang is most afraid of Jia Jiu. Many girls are proud to be able to enter the palace, don't talk about others, just say that the few girls that Mrs. Wang knows, except for those who really don't want them to enter the palace at home, or who really don't have a chance, the rest, which one doesn't want to go to the richest place in the world? It's like Xue Baochai, such an outstanding little girl, doesn't she still want to enter that place in the Jiji camp? For this reason, he did not hesitate to delay his youth. and his own daughter, when he said it himself, didn't he also blush, lowered his head, and pretended to be shy?

For what, not for the word power?!

Mrs. Wang once thought that Jia Jiu liked power, otherwise she would not have sued the royal court. Because only if you yearn for imperial power, you will let an eight-year-old child inquire about the location of the palace, and only if you have enough ambition and desire will you let an eight-year-old child stick to the Jinluan Palace.

Once, Mrs. Wang thought so.

He even felt that Jia Jiu's indifferent appearance was just because of hypocrisy.

However, today, after talking to Jia Jiu, Mrs. Wang suddenly had a feeling that this niece seemed to be a little different from the ordinary girls he had seen. What is the difference, Mrs. Wang can't say. Even Mrs. Wang faintly felt that Jia Jiu didn't care about whether she could enter the palace at all, but. That's also a vague feeling, and it doesn't mean anything.

It was Xue Baochai, seeing Mrs. Wang say so. And he said no more.

He is such a person, and he will not deny the words of the elder. Even if he himself disagrees, he will stand in front of his elders and lie for his elders.

This is the biggest difference between him and Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu. If Shi Xiangyun encounters something he disapproves of, he will definitely shout innocently; And Lin Daiyu, if he didn't agree with the words of the elders, even if he couldn't open this mouth at that time, he wouldn't follow the words of the elders. Sometimes. The word principle, Lin Daiyu sees it more than anyone else. Lin Daiyu is not a person who can compromise lightly. And Xue Baochai does not have Lin Daiyu's style. Many times Xue Baochai spoke. It's based on the identity of the other party.

Just like now, if Jia Jiu is only Jia Yu's daughter, if Mrs. Wang is still the lady of the fifth grade, maybe Xue Baochai will follow Mrs. Wang's words. But now. Obviously, Jia Jiu's status is relatively high. In addition, he was favored by the palace, so Xue Baochai would never dare to speak ill of Jia Jiu.

Xue Baochai also knew that the minions here of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang were all big mouths, as long as he spit out words that were unfavorable to Jia Jiu, even if there was only one word, they would render him full of dissatisfaction with Jia Jiu. That must be a big trouble for him Xue Baochai and their Xue family.

Xue Baochai didn't dare to take risks.

Instead, it was Mrs. Wang, after the words came out. He only then thought that in this matter of Taihu Stone, it was Jia Jiu who helped him. Madame Wang will not change her mind at this time. just said: "The second girl is becoming more and more capable, isn't he a lady who stays at home?" There is more than one female official by her side! I even interfered in the affairs outside. ”

Xue Baochai hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie's words are misunderstood. This Cao family has a lot to do with Daomen, and the second sister often goes in and out of Yuqing Mountain, so she naturally knows about the Cao family. This time, if there is no second sister, I am afraid that things will not be so smooth. ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned.

He never expected that Xue Baochai would speak for Jia Jiu.

Mrs. Wang is not interested in Jia Jiu, as many people speculate, Mrs. Wang's daughter Jia Yuanchun can only participate in the small election, but Jia Jiu can participate in the general election. Because her jealousy of Jia Jiu is also a grievance for her daughter, Mrs. Wang looks at Jia Jiu everywhere unpleasantly.

This mentality has intensified as Jia Yuanchun has been in the palace for many years but has not been favored, while Jia Jiu has grown up day by day. Now Mrs. Wang, what he is most unhappy about is that the people around him say good things about Jia Jiu. He can occasionally sigh about Jia Jiu's goodness in his heart, but he will never allow the people around him to say that Jia Jiu is good, even if this person is his own niece and daughter.

Hearing Xue Baochai say good things about Jia Jiu, Mrs. Wang's heart didn't mention how unhappy she was.

He stood up suddenly, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw his girl Yu Chu'er breaking in in a hurry despite Xue Baochai's presence, and suddenly lowered her face.

As Mrs. Wang's confidant, Jin Chu'er certainly knows what Mrs. Wang sent Yu Chu'er to do. It's just that at this moment, it's no longer his turn to come out to stop it.

I saw Yu Chu'er whispering a few words directly in Mrs. Wang's ear, and Mrs. Wang jumped up all of a sudden, grabbed Yu Chu'er's shoulders, and said, "What do you say!" ”

Yu Chu'er originally thought that she had brought such important news to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang should reward him with something. Seeing that he never thought that Mrs. Wang's appearance would be so crazy. He felt his shoulders bleeding, but he had to carefully put on a smile.

"Madam, you heard it right, I heard that yesterday a few healthy women carried a jar of pearls and jade gems to the second girl's house, and I heard that even the jar was carved from a whole piece of jade."

Mrs. Wang immediately jumped up and said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, good for your second girl, your parents are here, and you don't have private property, do you think it's over if you are favored?" There are so many treasures, even if they are not handed over to the old lady, they will move directly to their own house. I'd like to see what you can say this time! ”

Mrs. Wang was sure that if this thing was in Jia Mu's hands, he would have a way to get his hands on him. Therefore, in his opinion, as long as he convinces Jia Mu, this thing will naturally come into his hands.

It was Xue Baochai who felt that this matter was extraordinary.

Xue Baochai said: "Yu Chu'er, you are a smart person, and you have been with my aunt for a few years. Tell me, how many guests came to this house yesterday, who are they, and how long have you stayed? ”

A series of questions stunned Yu Chu'er and Mrs. Wang.

"Bao girl, you mean, this girl is deceiving me?"

Xue Baochai replied: "Auntie, it's not that I'm too careful, but don't you think it's strange? That second sister is a very powerful character. If there is such a thing, do you think that if the second sister had no follower, he would be so emboldened to spread things out? The second sister's mind can be cautious! ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she really hesitated.

He also knew that Jia Jiu was not easy to mess with.

Not to mention anything else, which one of the people who can mix like a fish in water in the palace is simple? If the palace was so easy to mix, his daughter Jia Yuanchun would not often bring back letters and ask Mrs. Wang to store silver money for him.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang also knew that he would fall because Jia Jiu was scheming behind his back. Mrs. Wang was very sure that if there was no Jia Jiu, this Rongguo Mansion would definitely belong to her husband and his son in the future. But as soon as Jia Jiu made a move, his more than ten years of arrangement was ruined, not to mention, and he also accompanied himself.

Madame Wang felt that he really needed to investigate. (To be continued......)
