Mother and grandmother are different, Mother Jia may choose to sacrifice Lin Daiyu between the Jia family, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu of the Lin family, but as a mother, he will definitely dig into the foot of the Jia family to supplement his daughter, just like he has been planning for Jia Zheng for many years.

After knowing the answer he wanted, Jia's mother didn't want to talk about other topics, he handed over Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun to Aunt Xue Xue Baochai's mother and daughter, and specially asked Jia Baoyu's grandmother to stay and take care of her, and she took her son, nephew, nephew, daughter-in-law, niece, niece and son-in-law to Jia Jiu's side. Their order is like this:

Jia Mu walked in front, Jia Jiu walked sideways on Jia Mu's side to guide the elders, followed by Jia Zheng and Prince Teng. Jia Zheng thought that he was a filial son, but Jia's mother felt that she was still young and could walk, so she didn't need to be supported at all, and she walked in front of her with a cane, so she didn't need her son to perform at all. The old man is like this, the most taboo is to make people say that he is old and useless. So Jia Zheng, who touched a gray nose, could only follow behind his mother's buttocks.

He wanted to talk to Wang Ziteng, but Wang Ziteng had already seen through this brother-in-law's incompetence and lack of self-knowledge, so he didn't bother to open this mouth at all. He opened the fan in his hand for a while, closed the fan in his hand for a while, and the monotonous sound of "smack~smack, smack~smack" echoed in the alley, making people feel ominous for no reason.

Looking at such a prince, the two brothers of Baoling Hou Zhongjing Hou in the back couldn't help but glance at each other. They wanted to talk to their wives, but they couldn't see it. It's really hard for them to talk to their daughters-in-law. However, the two marquis ladies who were a little unhappy with Mrs. Wang Ziteng before, but they took a look at this sister-in-law at this time.

If they were polite to Mrs. Wang Ziteng because of Wang Ziteng before, then now they are for Mrs. Wang Ziteng, the eldest sister-in-law.

It's hard for this sister-in-law. Not to mention the quagmire of the Wang family, there are two strange sisters-in-law pulling back their legs, compared to the two of them, they are much better. At least their eldest sister-in-law didn't do anything to anger people and drag down their family.

It's just that the court has laws and regulations that are not as good as marrying girls, but it is not said that the in-laws who marry daughters will not implicate their mother-in-law if they commit a crime. Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are both married daughters of the Wang family, and the Wang family will not implicate their family if they commit an incident, but these two women have committed an incident in the family. will definitely implicate the Wang family and Wang Ziteng, and as Wang Ziteng's Yue family, it is difficult for the Shi family to say that they will not be implicated.

With such thoughts. These two Mrs. Hou felt that it was not wrong for the Wang family to see that it was about to sink, and it was not wrong for the Shi family to be implicated, but the Jia family would not be in trouble at the moment. In such a situation. Appropriate joints. It's good for the historian and for himself.

Women are the best actors. Now that they knew that the defeat of the Wang family was inevitable, and they would even implicate their own family, the two Hou ladies of the Shi family thought about how to get to the Jia family, especially the Jia family. In such a situation, it is also necessary to have Wu Yue in the same boat.

It's that the two haven't been close for many years before, and the current cooperation is ......

Thinking like this, Mrs. Baolinghou was a little half a step behind, and said to the eldest sister-in-law, "Good sister." You look so preoccupied today, but for the sake of your good niece? ”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was stunned. Then he remembered Shi Xiangyunlai, and said, "Let the two younger siblings laugh." ”

Mrs. Zhongjing Marquis also gave Mrs. Wang Ziteng a look that you know and I know, and said, "Sister, I don't need to say much, we also know." Now we are also worried. ”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Shi Xiangyun, and immediately understood.

As if unintentionally, he said softly: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that the two younger siblings will see the joke, in fact, this child was really liked when he was young." The appearance is good, the mouth is sweet, and I only have a daughter under my knees, and I am also young, and I have the idea of treating him well now, and he will be able to take care of him in the future. But I'm just an aunt, not his own mother. It's really not light, it's not serious. ”

When Mrs. Baoling Hou heard this, she immediately empathized and said: "No, they men are so relaxed, and when they touch their mouths, they are just saying: Good birth and upbringing, where do you know the difficulties in us!" If we manage it lightly, some people say that we don't care, and if we manage it too much, some people say that we are harsh! Let's take our family's example, whose girl's family didn't start learning needlework when she was five or six years old. Don't talk about others, let's just talk about the second girl in front, I heard that he has done a good job of needlework at a young age - the autumn clothes brought by General Jia before were his own hands - not to mention the things of feeding and worshipping ancestors, it is not bad. How old is this child? It's just our one, but he has to learn to play two lines, and someone has made an ear report! If it weren't for this incident at my sister's family, I wouldn't be able to talk about it. ”

Mrs. Zhongjing hurriedly said, "Not really. For the sake of that girl, our Hou Ye doesn't know how angry he is with me behind my back. If it weren't for this incident in my sister's family, I'm afraid that our Hou Ye would still be entangled with us. Speaking of which, your family is better than ours, at least when he is a little older, he is already very good at observing words and feelings, and our family, the partial life, only knows how to play crazy! Look at this one walking in front of you, and then think about your own home, it's really incomparable! ”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng also nodded again and again when she heard this.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng said: "Your family is fine, at least the two marquis can listen to what you say, if there is really anything, they are willing to be considerate of you." But what about me. You are my own brothers and sisters, and I am not here to be hypocritical or pretend to be anything wrong, I am at home, and if I say something unpleasant, I am like a housekeeper. Although your family is young, you don't know how to read words, but you don't have many eyes. Where is it like our family, every time someone can't see it, there will be trouble, so I can confess, it seems that I was born to be a bad aunt! Who likes such a heart! is how much love there was before, and at the end of this day, it has also been consumed cleanly. ”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng helped her sideburns. A lot of things. He pressed it in his heart in the past, just to fulfill the dignity of the Wang family! Decent! Decent! If he really was only for himself, wouldn't he fight back? Wang Xifeng's age. Will there be more means than Mrs. Wang Ziteng?

But his carelessness made Wang Ziteng and Wang Xifeng think that he was easy to bully.

Do you want to toss more than toss? Then let's toss together! You say I'm not virtuous and unwilling to take care of your good niece, so I'll take a look at all the face, and let you see what your good niece is!

Mrs. Wang Ziteng's mind is easy to understand. Originally, Wang Xifeng caused a lot of trouble, and he didn't rely on Wang Ziteng's favor to block him before, for Wang Ziteng's sake. Mrs. Wang Ziteng endured it. But in the end, Wang Xifeng himself didn't listen to discipline and made a big mistake, Wang Ziteng didn't say to teach him a lesson, but blamed Mrs. Wang Ziteng for not raising Wang Xifeng well, and it was strange that Mrs. Wang Ziteng could bear this breath!

Mrs. Wang Ziteng has been Wang Ziteng's wife for nearly twenty years. Naturally, he knows very well what Wang Ziteng is like, and Wang Ziteng dares to do this, just because he thinks that he is the daughter of the Shi family, as long as he is his wife. The historian couldn't help but save him.

For Wang Ziteng's thoughts. Mrs. Wang Ziteng scoffed. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the full certainty of taking his daughter away right now, he would have reconciled with the prince. Even if you have to put a hundred boards on Jingzhao Mansion for this, you don't hesitate to do it.

The two Marquis of Baoling and Zhongjing in front of them heard it clearly, and couldn't help but look at Wang Ziteng's expression, but they saw Wang Ziteng's self-conscious distraction, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

It was that Jia Zheng who looked back at Mrs. Wang Ziteng several times.

A good princess's daughter and a wealthy lady, why is she like a shrew? Do you talk like that? Or complain with relatives with foreign surnames.

But Jia Zheng couldn't help but shudder when he came into contact with Mrs. Wang Ziteng's knife-like eyes. He shrunk his head and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Good men don't fight women. You are the wife of Wang Ziteng. It's not my wife, and I don't have the right to go under your husband's bed.

Although he muttered like this in his heart, Jia Zheng still unconsciously remembered how good his wife was.

It's still my family's good, he will run around for me and for our children, if it weren't for this second girl who made trouble, he wouldn't have been punished at all. Even if he was punished, he was also for me.

Thinking like this, Jia Zheng's resentment towards Mrs. Wang before disappeared a little, and he wondered if he would find an opportunity to meet his wife one day. Of course, what will be said after meeting Mrs. Wang, it will be a matter of opinion to the benevolent and the wise.

While he was talking, Rikain had arrived.

Seeing that the gate was locked, Jia Mu frowned: "Second girl, I remember that you just said that your father put everything here for the sacrifice?" Didn't you say that the boss had cleaned up the ancestral hall? Why are you still here to worship your ancestors? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Although the ancestral hall has been almost cleaned up, it has not been done in the end. My father originally said that during the Double Ninth Festival, he would make a sacrifice and open the ancestral hall in earnest, but who would want to suddenly let his father and brother go on the expedition? In this way, the matter of opening the ancestral hall can only be pushed back. When it comes to my father's expedition, I'm a little confused. There are unwritten rules in the imperial court, even if it is a military general's house, at least let the family keep a serious man at home. There are only three men in our family: father, elder brother and younger brother, especially when the younger brother is still young, the father and elder brother should always leave one at home. Lord Wang Ziteng, you are well-informed, I don't know if you can solve the doubts of the younger generation? ”

Wang Ziteng was in a trance, and he hadn't reacted at the time, but Jia Zheng gently pushed him, and he was shocked, and when he saw Jia Jiu ask him again, he said: "Long live the arrangement has its own deep meaning, and it is not something that my subordinates can question." ”

Where would Wang Ziteng say that this matter had nothing to do with him?

"Really?"

Jia Jiu glanced at Wang Ziteng deeply, and saw that Wang Ziteng felt empty in his heart and thought that he had revealed a flaw. When Wang Ziteng thought that Jia Jiu would ask, or get angry and fight with him again, Jia Jiu turned around and walked forward, and after walking a short distance, he saw an open door, and this door went in, it was Jia Jiu's small kitchen here, and the mothers-in-law in the kitchen had already gotten the news, and they all held their breath and stood with their hands down.

Jia Jiu said: "Today, the old lady is here, and it is either the second uncle or the old lady's nephews and nieces and nephews, daughters-in-law, nieces and sons-in-law, so naturally you don't need to pay too much attention to them." This is the little kitchen in my yard. Inside used to be a dedicated sacrificial kitchen. There are only some washed dishes in there, so you don't need to look at them. Why don't we go inside the cellar and have a look? ”

Jia Zhengdao: "Emperor Gaozu often came back then. So the house has built an underground fish viewing platform, and the wine cellar you are talking about is that? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Yes." ”

Jia Zhengdao: "As a foreign product, glass was originally extremely valuable, and it was not enough for other people's people to use it as a window, but now it is used as a fish viewing platform. The way to run a family should be frugality. ”

When Baoling Hou saw Jia Zheng speak, he felt a little unlikely, and immediately interrupted Jia Zheng's nonsense: "Okay." Second cousin, who doesn't know that this fish viewing platform turned out to be Emperor Gaozu's favorite? Even the glass was given by Emperor Gaozu. The Imperial Historian didn't say anything, what are we doing here? However, I heard that the underwater fish viewing platform is warm in winter and cool in summer. A good place indeed. It's just that such a place is rare for anyone, and who would think of using it as a wine cellar? It's cheaper for us now. Second girl, lead the way. I can't help but want to see if the Arowana that Emperor Gaozu specially brought to release that day is still there. ”

Jia Jiu happened to take a basket containing empty wine bottles from a mother-in-law on the side. Hearing Bao Linghou say this, he didn't feel a little strange: "What Arowana?" ”

Baoling Hou said: "I heard that it was paid by the foreign domain, and his body was golden, even his belly was golden, and he even had a pair of straight and neat dragon whiskers, so everyone called him Golden Arowana." I've heard it's more than three feet long! ”

Jia Jiu said: "It turns out that Master Hou is talking about this!" There are indeed two big golden fish in this pond that are three feet long, and if Hou Ye doesn't say it, I think he is a golden carp. It's just that it's cold for the past two days, and I don't know if I can see it. If it weren't for Master Hou talking to me about this today. I didn't know there were Arowana in this pond. ”

When Bao Linghou heard this, he became more and more energetic. Even Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang Ziteng, Mrs. Baolinghou, Mrs. Zhongjinghou and other female dependents were also interested.

Jia Mu said: "When I was young, I also rarely saw this Arowana, but I haven't seen it once in many days on the edge of this pond. Later, I saw it at the Huansha Pavilion, and I stopped staying here after that. Hearing you say that now, I am reminded of the past. Today is the right time, so let's go down and have a look? ”

As soon as Jia Mu spoke, the four members of the Shi family immediately responded.

Jia Jiu couldn't, so he had to say: "If you want to go below, one is to go down from the third ear room, and the other is to go down from the study room that you first entered in front, let's go through this room of the ear room." It's just that a lot of the wine there is for sacrificial purposes, or do you ask a few guests to leave the girls who followed, and let them go directly to the front to wait for us? ”

Baolinghou and others said that it should be so, and even Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang Ziteng did not object, but Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng couldn't say anything against it.

This transept was originally used to place the dowry for Mrs. Xing, and it was not until Mrs. Xing's dowry was moved to the courtyard in the northeast corner of Rongxi Hall with Mrs. Xing that Jia Jiu knew from Jia Yu's mouth that there was still this place under this courtyard.

That's right, in front of Mrs. Xing's yard is a large pond, and under the water of this big pond, there are viewing platforms in both north and south. Such extravagant things, in addition to the palace, are only found in the palace. It is said that Emperor Gaozu once wanted to build this thing in the palace, but was blocked by the ministers of civil and military affairs, and finally built it in the Jia family. As for the one in the palace, it is naturally the credit of that Wang girl.

The Wang girl's own in-laws and mother's family do not have this thing, which shows the strength that the Wang family has spent on the old Prince Yizhong!

Jia Jiu carried the basket and carefully backwards to help Jia Mu walk the last step, and when he looked up, he saw that his eyes were half bright and half dark. In the dark place, when you look up, you can see a number of wine urns and wine barrels, stacked neatly. As for the bright place, of course, it is a pond separated by a large piece of glass. This Chung Yeung Festival has passed, and even the lotus leaves in the pond have withered, making this underwater exceptionally bright. And at the bottom of the crystal clear pond, in the deep mud, you can really see a few koi lying there quietly spitting bubbles.

But I never saw any Arowana.

Mrs. Baolinghou sighed and said, "I heard that Emperor Gaozu was extravagant by nature, and at that time I still thought that people are the kings of a country, and one of the people who takes the world for one person refers to the Ninety-Five. With the support of the entire Great Qi Dynasty, even Emperor Gaozu will not be said so by his subordinates no matter how extravagant he is? Now that I've seen this, I know that the rumors are true. ”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng sighed and said, "I think our Wang family is also rich." What does the amulet that Feng Yatou often recites say? There is a white jade bed in the East China Sea, and the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling, talking about our family. Our ancestors built a sea pond for the imperial court in the south, and many foreign feudal ships in the south were also under our control. But that's the case, our family doesn't have such a place. The grace of Emperor Gaozu can be seen back then. ”

Glass is inherently imported, and the larger the piece, the more difficult it is to transport. Under the conditions of that year, not to mention a piece of glass, it was a piece of porcelain and a small clay pot, which had to be sent to the capital of Daqi safely and became gold. Later, the Wang daughter made out the glass, but most of what the magnates of the Beijing division saw were one foot square, and it was a very decent thing to get a window. But here, so much glass has made such a large viewing platform, how can Mrs. Wang Ziteng not be envious?

The two ladies of the Shi family also sighed.

Jia Jiu didn't think there was anything strange about this, but said: "I'm just curious, it's all water, I don't know how much effort the adults in the Ministry of Industry have wasted, so that there is no water seepage here." ”

Baolinghou smiled: "Girl, you have to ask your second uncle about this." He has been in the Ministry of Engineering for more than 20 years. ”

Jia Jiu couldn't help but go to see Jia Zheng, but saw Jia Zheng's face flushed.

Also, if he was capable, he would have been promoted a long time ago, but he wouldn't have been a cold bench.

But Zhongjing Hou said: "I know a little bit about this. For example, here we are standing, there are several layers underneath, the bottom layer is said to be quicklime, which is a foot thick, and then there is a layer of glutinous rice juice mixed with specially mixed sediment, and then another layer of quicklime, and then another layer of glutinous rice juice mixed with mud. Then lay tiles on top of it. There is also this façade, which is said to have been built in this way. As he spoke, he pointed to the thick bracket on the opposite side and said, "See, this is made of golden silk nanmu." Although it is a new material, it is not a gloomy wood of golden silk nan, but it is also extremely rare. At the beginning, in order to use what wood, the court had a big quarrel, and in the end, it was Emperor Gaozu who made a decision and asked for the new material of Jin Sinan. If it was someone else's house, I was afraid that I would be convicted at the first time, but Emperor Gaozu made a special decree for this and put the will on the Palace of Heart Cultivation. So everyone knows that there is golden silk nanmu in the house, but no one dares to look for your family's ballast! ”

Only then did Jia Jiu know why there were so many things in the Jia family, but outside it was like forgetting the Jia family, but it turned out that this root was here! Also, if Emperor Gaozu's will has always been placed in the Yangxin Palace, then the emperor will not move the Jia family lightly. Of course, when the emperor wants to move the Jia family, the Jia family will not be saved.

Jia Jiu realized how lucky he was at this time. If he hadn't sneaked out to sue the royal complaint, if he hadn't found the best entry point, if he hadn't used those minions of the Jia family as a breakthrough, no one would have taken care of the Jia family's affairs. Maybe the emperor would be very happy to see the Jia family, the family that stood on his head, completely disappear in front of his eyes.

Listening to Baoling Hou talk about Emperor Gaozu, and seeing the glass shelves made of golden silk nanmu, Wang Ziteng's heart became a little more eager.

That's right, he wants to climb up to the Jia family, not his brother-in-law Jia Zheng's side, but Jia Yu's side. Because Jia Yu is the head of the Jia family's family, and Jia Yu's son is the eldest son of the Jia family, and only Jia Yu can match the will left by Emperor Gaozu. Only by taking Jia Yu can he get a chance to breathe.

Thinking about it like this, Wang Ziteng regretted a little, he shouldn't have done anything to Jia Yu. I just don't know if he can go to the border this time in time. (To be continued......)
