Regarding the arrival of Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun and his gratitude, Jia Jiu was noncommittal. After all, these two people don't have much contact with him, and the original book left too much impression on him, and one or two are very cold.

Half of Shi Xiangyun's coldness is stupid.

He is the eldest lady of the Shi family, the eldest daughter of the long house, even if his parents are already dead when he is still in his infancy, but they still shelter him, so that he can have a family, an identity, and after offending his aunt, he can also have a good family affair.

This qiē is a treasure left to Shi Xiangyun by Shi Xiangyun's deceased parents. But what about Shi Xiangyun himself? Whether it is now or in the original book, Shi Xiangyun is not a smart person. In the original book, he said for the sake of Xue Baochai's several face-saving feelings for him: "As long as I have a sister like you, even if I don't have parents, there is no hindrance." ”

No matter what reason Shi Xiangyun said such a thing in the first place, one thing is certain: when everyone hears this sentence, they will think that in Shi Xiangyun's heart, his biological parents are not as important as a woman with a foreign surname like Xue Baochai.

Between Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, there is no direct kinship between the two people, Shi Xiangyun can't see the difference between the identities of the two people, and he doesn't know that it is natural for businessmen to curry favor with the prince's family in this era, just like Xue Baochai maintains a good relationship with all the people up and down the Jia family, Xue Baochai is one thing, and more importantly, Xue Baochai's identity is decided, he can't offend the Jia family.

To know. The servants of the Jia family are characters who even the serious officials of Jingzhao Mansion dare not offend outside, not to mention that the Xue family has no signboard of imperial merchants, just an ordinary merchant's family.

Shi Xiangyun is good friends with Xue Baochai. And he openly said such things, no matter how much he said that his uncles and aunts were mean to him, who would believe him? You must know that he is a woman with a foreign surname, and he doesn't even want his parents. What's more, his uncle and aunt also found him a good family affair with the right family, and also invited a husband for him, so that he had the capital to beat Sanchun and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in the Grand View Garden. also took him out to socialize often, and did not treat Lin Daiyu like he did, letting him take the medicine that made his hands and feet passive. Completely drained his body.

Even now, the relationship between Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai is far less harmonious than in the original book, Jia Jiu still believes that human nature will not be convenient. Shi Xiangyun's short-sightedness, Shi Xiangyun's selfishness. None of this will change.

As for the spring visit. In Jia Jiu's opinion, there is still a bit of cruelty in his coldness.

Although it is said that in this world, a concubine cannot be regarded as a son, and a servant son cannot even have a formal household registration, it does not mean that in the future, the maidservant son will be separated. You can't be a businessman, you can't be a small landlord, you can't join the army. In this world, military households are indeed inferior. However, if a military household goes to the battlefield and makes great achievements, it can still become a master by virtue of its military merits.

Many lords and nobles looked down on the soldiers, but they forgot that their own families also relied on military merit. dislikes the lowly and precarious military households, but they are unwilling to fight on the battlefield. They will be given up and taken for granted.

Tanchun only saw Mrs. Wang's development and Jia Yuanchun's scenery, but he couldn't see the crisis after the prosperity of the family, and held Jia Baoyu, a guy who was not a weapon and destined to be a thorn in the eye above, on top of his head, but he looked at Jia Huan, who could really shelter himself and become his solid backing, and even helped others to suppress and hurt his fellow brother, such behavior, it can only be said that he is shrewd and knows a little common sense, but he does not have enough vision and determination.

A person with real vision will never praise Mrs. Wang. Because of holding Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang would not record him in her name, let alone send him into the palace and let him compete with Jia Yuanchun for favor.

Even as long as you are a little smarter, you should know that it is useless to please Mrs. Wang whether you want to please Mrs. Wang or not. Unless Mother Jia takes action and arranges a marriage on her behalf, otherwise, Tanchun is destined to be a tool in the hands of Mrs. Wang.

In Jia Jiu's opinion, people who have read the original book are scolding Jia Yu, saying that Jia Yu has no father-daughter relationship, and sold Yingchun for 5,000 taels of silver, but he can't see it, according to the rules of the Jia family, when the concubine marries, there is already a dowry of 5,000 to 10,000 taels of silver, Yingchun is Jia Yu's daughter, the daughter of a first-class Shenwei general, and the only daughter, which should have gone to the upper limit. But who was the one responsible for the dowry? It's Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng. The two of them withheld the dowry for Yingchun, and what did Jia pardon Mrs. Xing?

Looking through the first eighty times of the original book, as the daughter of Mrs. Jia Xing, there has never been a record of Jia Yingchun asking Mrs. Jia Xing for peace, but she is very diligent in asking Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, and I don't know what Jia Yingchun's brain thinks. Eighty percent of the girls around him are not good things, and they don't even remind Jia Yingchun of this.

As for Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing, in fact, in the original book, they don't have any great evil, and they don't have any chance to do evil. The matter in Ping'an Prefecture may be due to historical reasons, as for Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing's daily actions, Jia Yu is at most just playing with antiques and playing with women, this kind of behavior is similar to the behavior of going to nightclubs to pack tender models in later generations, because both sides are willing to do so, one provides money, the other provides young flesh, and it is not even a matter of corruption and perversion of the law, at most it is just a matter of private morality. Because Jia Yu is the serious lord of Rongguofu, he spends the money of Rongguofu, that is, the property he inherited. As for Mrs. Xing, although he is scolded for being mean and unkind, saying that he is greedy for money, he does not take on lawsuits and loan sharks like Mrs. Wang Xifeng.

If Jia Yu doesn't care about her daughter, Jia Yingchun is the only one among the sisters who wears a red wedding dress and marries out with a dowry, and in contrast, Jia Yingchun and Mrs. Wang have watched Jia Yingchun become an old girl at home, and have never taken Jia Yingchun out to walk around and look at each other. You know, even Shi Xiangyun. I was already married in the fortieth round.

said that Mrs. Xing didn't care about Jia Yingchun, but Mrs. Xing also went to the Grand View Garden to talk to Jia Yingchun. Although his words are not good, they can also be explained. He has Jia Yingchun's daughter in his heart, otherwise, there is no need for him to tell Jia Yingchun about what he has or not. Moreover, Mrs. Xing is an embarrassing person in the Jia family, Jia Yu doesn't give him face, he doesn't say anything, his mother-in-law Jia doesn't bother to look at him, his younger daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang is pressing step by step, and her daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's pug doesn't take him seriously at all, and even has a cheap daughter who doesn't go to the province all year round. Mrs. Xing was not Jia Yingchun's biological mother in the first place. Jia Yingchun was not kept in Mrs. Xing's house, and she didn't even go to ask for peace, Mrs. Xing would come to tell Jia Yingchun about this. It's already good. Those words were supposed to be said to Jia Yingchun in her upper room when Jia Yingchun asked Mrs. Xing to say goodbye. But in fact, the place where Mrs. Xing said these words turned out to be in Daguanyuan and Jia Yingchun's boudoir.

Doesn't that tell the story?

Between Jia pardon Xing's wife Jia Yingchun. In fact, Mrs. Jia Xing didn't have much of a problem in the first place. It can only be said that they are the parents of a typical feudal family, but Jia Yingchun didn't even go to the morning and dusk for his parents, and he was already an unfilial girl.

On the contrary, it is Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, if Gao He really supplemented the last forty times according to Cao Xueqin's remnants, if the ending of Tanchun is really Cao Xueqin's original intention, then. Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is the real woman who sells women, and she uses Tanchun to trade with Nan'an Palace. In exchange for their own glory and wealth, but also in exchange for the protection of Nan'an Wangfu for them.

In other words, Mrs. Wang doesn't care if Tanchun, a cheap daughter, can be happy, and Jia Zheng, a father, doesn't care about Tanchun's life or death.

Just like in the original book, Jia Baoyu was hit by a nightmare, Jia Zheng's reaction, Jia Yu was so badly deserved by Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu had an accident, Jia Yu was still busy looking for someone to save Jia Baoyu, but Jia Zheng, his biological father, was the first person to give up.

It takes a long process for people's character to evolve, since Tanchun will be betrayed by Mrs. Wang later, then, at this time, Mrs. Wang should have an omen, Jia Jiu doesn't believe that someone as smart as Tanchun will not feel it at all.

However, these are other people's affairs. Jia Yu has already come out of the sect, and Tanchun is just a guest in the name of his cousin to Jia Jiu, what is really the matter, Jia Jiu doesn't care what others say about Jia Jiu. Shi Xiangyun is even farther away, and he is not with the same surname.

Jia Jiu put down his pen, raised his head and instructed the girl next to him: "Since this is the case, let them have tea in the flower hall first, and then go over after I change my clothes." ”

Naturally, a girl went out to arrange, and Jia Jiu, under the service of the maidservant, changed her clothes and combed her hair, and then came to the flower hall. Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun did not use tea in the flower hall, but stood in the middle of the courtyard and pointed at the kind of vat full of jewels with Wang Shuzhi.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun saw Jia Jiu, he immediately said, "Second sister, that broken island really gave you a jar of jewelry to plant trees." ”

In fact, what Shi Xiangyun wanted to say was that the people of Broken Island sent jewelry to Jia Jiu to plant trees, and Jia Jiu actually used these jewels to plant trees, instead of keeping these jewels as a private house and getting some soil to plant trees.

This kind of behavior of treating money as dung, no matter how you look at it, makes Shi Xiangyun, a person who is often shy in his pocket, envious, jealous and hateful. Shi Xiangyun is jealous of Lin Daiyu, that is because Lin Daiyu has nearly 10 million family properties, but what if the Lin family has tens of millions of properties, it is also tens of millions of properties, Jia Jiu threw it out without blinking his eyes, and now there is such a large vat of jewelry in the open air, how huge the impact is.

Jia Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a helpless thing." I asked the envoy of Broken Island, and it is said that the tree of their country grows on these jewels. I don't dare take any chances, and since they say so, I'll do it. At the very least, it's not easy to make mistakes. ”

In many stories, if the protagonist is told to plant a tree with jewelry, he will scoff at it, and then dig a pot of soil to plant the tree, and the jewelry will be his personal property, and the end of the story will also make an evaluation, that is: it is right to stick to the right way of thinking and break the stereotype.

But in Jia Jiu's opinion, this Wang Shuzhi is not a great thing, and it is not a way to listen to other people's advice and follow other people's teachings. Especially when facing things that you are not familiar with, listen to the opinions of others with an open mind. That's the easiest way to do it. 、

More importantly, this Wang Shuzhi is related to the future of the two countries of Great Qi and Broken Island, and also related to the safety of the entire Great Qi Jingshi.

Jia Jiu couldn't afford to gamble and didn't dare to bet.

Tanchun smiled on the side: "The second sister has always been cautious. ”

Affect the status of girls. The most important thing is to look at the girl's father. Before, although Jia Yu had a title, he did not fight for it, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang deliberately did it to make Jia Yu, the real owner of Rongguo Mansion, live like an invisible person. Jia Yu was trampled into the dust by his own brother as his daughter. Of course, Jia Yingchun is not as good as Tanchun.

But now, Jia Zheng can't even compare to Jia Jiu, let alone say it. Jia Yu, who is already a prince.

Even Tanchun has slandered more than once, in this house, the most powerful, the most influential, and the most unshakable person is not Jia Mu or Jia Yu. It was his cousin. Behind him stood Daomen and Broken Island and Princess Changle's cousin, Jia Jiu.

Therefore, even if there are countless thoughts in his heart, Tanchun never dares to offend Jia Jiu, whether it is in front of or after people. Of course, in order not to irritate Mrs. Wang, he will not stammer Jia Jiu in public.

Jia Jiu smiled, the three sisters had seen each other. Only then did you take a seat in the flower hall.

Shi Xiangyun smiled: "Second sister, I never knew. The second sister has always been concerned about me, and she thinks that the sisters and sisters are the best, but they are just like Sister Bao. ”

Comparing Jia Jiu with Xue Baochai, if someone else is replaced, maybe he will be angry with Shi Xiangyun, some people will think that he has been wronged, and some people will think that Shi Xiangyun deliberately belittles himself. However, today's Jia Jiu is no longer the original Jia Jiu, at least he knows that people like Shi Xiangyun will always unconsciously smear themselves and make the other party unhappy by the way. is angry with Shi Xiangyun, and he is completely uncomfortable with himself.

Jia Jiu said: "It seems that Sister Yun has a high opinion of Sister Bao. ”

Shi Xiangyun actually nodded and said, "Although I don't deal with Sister Bao, many times, Sister Bao is still very good." At least if I have any difficulties, Sister Bao will notice it early and help me solve it. ”

Jia Jiu's eyes widened slightly, and said, "I see." Speaking of which, it's not mine. If I hadn't ignored Sister Yun, Sister Yun wouldn't have been in trouble, and she wouldn't have respected Sister Bao so much. ”

In this hierarchical society, the most important thing for people is their identity, what kind of identity they do. Once you do something that loses your identity, whether it is tender, you will be looked down upon.

Just like Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun is Miss Gonghou, Xue Baochai is the daughter of a businessman, in this world, the general understanding is that it is a matter of course for businessmen to help Gonghou do things, even if Xue Baochai solves a big trouble for Shi Xiangyun, Shi Xiangyun does not need to be so grateful to him, and everyone has made a name for Xue Baochai.

This doesn't mean that Shi Xiangyun doesn't have to be grateful to Xue Baochai, to be grateful, yes, in private, Shi Xiangyun can sincerely thank Xue Baochai. It is so obvious to extend Xue Baochai's reputation and promote Xue Baochai's benefits everywhere, which is not in line with Shi Xiangyun's identity. Once or twice, everyone will say that Shi Xiangyun is simple and kind-hearted, and he remembers that others are kind to him a little bit. If there are too many times, someone will scold Shi Xiangyun for being stupid behind his back.

This is an unspoken rule between the upper class, the aristocracy and the merchants, and it is not something that anyone can challenge.

When Jia Jiu said this, he was also hinting to Shi Xiangyun: You are grateful to Xue Baochai, you can thank him in private, there is no need to praise Xue Baochai so much. What is really worthy of Shi Xiangyun's respect must be from the same social class as Shi Xiangyun, or a noble lady and the daughter of an official eunuch who is more noble than Shi Xiangyun.

In other words, Shi Xiangyun can praise Lin Daiyu so much, but he can't praise Xue Baochai again and again.

This is the unspoken rule of class society.

Shi Xiangyun is not a stupid person, and immediately understood the meaning of Jia Jiu's words.

In the past, Shi Xiangyun's two aunts, Mrs. Baoling Hou and Mrs. Zhongjing Hou, had mentioned it in Shi Xiangyun's ears, but Shi Xiangyun had never taken it to heart, and now Jia Jiu hinted that Shi Xiangyun remembered his aunt's teachings.

Shi Xiangyun immediately said: "Look at what the second sister said, the second sister has moved out of the old lady's yard, there are many things, and she is often not at home, and it is normal to ignore our little things with goosebumps." There was a pause, and then he lowered his voice again. "Logically, that's not what I should say. It's just that the second sister is her own sister and sister. Tell the second sister, naturally, it's okay. ”

As he spoke, he was silent for a while before he said, "My third sister and I both live in the old lady's yard, but I live in the front and the third sister lives in the back." The old lady is old, and her spirit is a little unable to keep up, and it is inevitable that she will be a little negligent below. What's more. Baoyu has always been willful. If I don't go along with him, someone will scold me for being mean and petty. ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "This is what I'm most worried about." Who doesn't taboo this? Only Baoyu, relying on the favor of the old lady, is lawless, and even the second uncle and aunt can't control it. Sister Yun is in the old lady's house. The third sister and Baoyu are the same mother. I'm not good at talking. But where is Sister Lin...... Alas, it's not me who said that Sister Lin was handed over to her father by her aunt. If there is anything wrong with Sister Lin, don't say that my father can't explain to my aunt under Jiuquan, even if I can't explain it to my father. Father's temper, I think Sister Yun also knows a little bit about it, this annual income of hundreds of thousands of silver, my father is hot. ”

Shi Xiangyun nodded. Suddenly, he said: "Only the eldest master thinks that so much silver will be hot." ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Apparently. Even if Shi Xiangyun is still young, he still knows some things. At least, Jia Zheng pretended to be confused, Mrs. Wang is completely a money python, there is no way out, the image of these two has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even Shi Xiangyun thinks so in his heart, otherwise he would not say so.

Tanchun sat down and died of embarrassment.

Mrs. Wang is just that, after all, Mrs. Wang is just Tanchun's mother-in-law, but Jia Zheng is Tanchun's biological father.

Hearing Shi Xiangyun's insidious insistence on Mrs. Wang, Tanchun can be regarded as not knowing, but Shi Xiangyun implied Jia Zheng, how can Tanchun stay out of the matter? Of course, it's hard to sit still.

Tanchun tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "If you change the second sister, with the temper of the second sister, I'm afraid that I will take good care of Sister Lin if I don't take a penny?" ”

Jia Jiu looked at him, nodded, and said, "Yes, just because of people's trust in me, I will do the same." First, I'm not bad for money, but I have a good reputation or something, and no one is too much; Second, Sister Lin lives in our house, and those relatives and friends of the Lin family in the past were naturally taken over by our family. Don't say anything else, let's just say that my aunt's classmates are in the same year, and there are fellow villagers, who have climbed to a high position, how can there be one or two? As long as they raise their noble hands, my brother will be useless. ”

Lin Daiyu's sisters and brothers have to keep filial piety, especially Lin Daiyu, who is a girl, and it is impossible to talk directly to the outside. The Lin family's old friends are worried about him, and they must also communicate with the Jia family, so the Jia family naturally has a relationship with these families. This is one of them.

Second, Jia Jiu can also understand that Jia Baoyu's affairs are also very clear to other people's families, so people's female relatives will not come to the door lightly, first, the Qingliu family taboo is close to the concubine's mother's family, and second, the Jia family's reputation is really bad, and it is impossible for them to let the female relatives come to Jia Baoyu to collide.

Therefore, those old friends of the Lin family rarely go to the door of the Jia family, that's for sure.

And just like in the original book, if the Lin family's property is really filled in the Grand View Garden, the Jia family will definitely not be willing to let Lin Daiyu know about this matter, because after making money, it is often killed. They didn't dare to let Lin Daiyu know. But if they don't say it themselves, it doesn't mean that others won't tell Lin Daiyu. If others saw from Lin Daiyu's reaction that the Jia family spent the Lin family's property but did not let Lin Daiyu keep three years of filial piety for his father, then Jia Yuanchun, a virtuous concubine, would also be in trouble.

Therefore, in the original book, Lin Daiyu can only be trapped in Jia's house like a caged bird, trapped in the small place of Daguan Garden, which is naturally not unusual.

Because the Jia family deliberately isolated Lin Daiyu from the outside world.

But this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to hide all the time. As Lin Daiyu grows up day by day, he will always get married. If it weren't for Jia Baoyu marrying Lin Daiyu, if Lin Daiyu married outside, how would she react when she saw that Lin Daiyu didn't have a dowry? Even if Lin Daiyu died young, there was also the official who was nitpicky to find evidence to prove that the Jia family had swallowed up the Lin family's property. At that time, the Lin family's property was gone, Lin Daiyu died, and Lin Ruhai, who was loyal, dedicated to the country, and fulfilled his duties, ended up without sacrifice, not to mention those civil officials, even the guards at the border, they would not be able to sit still.

You must know that the most precarious people are those border guards, they are working hard at the border, hanging their heads on their trouser belts, and defending the country against thieves, but once they have a chance, their children will face the same fate as Lin Daiyu, which of these soldiers can sit still? Who would fight bravely for the country regardless of life and death?

Therefore, the Jia family's murder of Lin Daiyu seems to be just a very ordinary, very common, and often in the script, but in fact, if you are not careful, it may become a big case that shocks the entire court.

Because the amount of the Lin family's property is too huge, and Lin Ruhai is a bull who has been re-elected for at least four years in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History. Once the basket is opened, it is definitely a big case that even the emperor will have a headache. (To be continued......)
