At sunset on this day, after Jia Jiu put Jia Cong to sleep, he sat on the edge of the dresser and took care of his hair. Zhao Dong's family, who was standing on the side, hurriedly came over to help.

Jia Jiu looked at the reflection of Zhao Dong's family in the mirror and said, "Mom has something to say?" ”

Zhao Dongjia took a comb and gently combed Jia Jiu's hair, but there was a hesitant look on his face, and he stopped talking. It's just that there are some things that he can't do without asking.

In fact, the slave has been keeping this in her heart for several days. When the old lady asked the girl to hand over the account book in her hand, why did the girl hand it over without saying a word? It's not a day or two since they see that our big house is not pleasing to the eye, and if they find an opportunity, they will definitely not let the girl go. ”

Zhao Dong's family still hasn't said a word, and they won't let Jia Cong go. This unspoken sentence is that if he doesn't say it, Jia Jiu can guess it.

Jia Jiu is very confident in his martial arts. He had been cultivating the Nine Yang Heavenly Technique for two months, and if the time he spent in the [Advanced Cultivation Ground] was counted, it was equivalent to twenty years of penance for others. Although "Jiuyang Heavenly Jue" is a martial art that focuses on the foundation and advances slowly, it is really impossible to use it in front of those masters with only twenty years of skill, but it is enough to bully and bully ordinary people like the Jia family. Moreover, he had spent 5,000 points to get his smart butler to keep an eye on Jia Cong. As long as Jia Cong does not leave the confines of this general's mansion, he will be able to guarantee Jia Cong's safety - he can only use this number of "Armor and Martial Arts" plus the Heavenly Halberd - the Jia family is so big, and there will be no shortage of people around Jia Cong. If someone dares to do something to Jia Cong, he will also have enough time to save people.

And. Serious women like Jia Mu, they may use the girls in the family as tools, but they will definitely not despise the serious men in the family. will not take the life of his sister-in-law as a child's play. is the same as Jia Lan, but it doesn't appear much in the original book, but there should still be some - Jia Huan is an exception, he is the son of a servant, and he is not a serious Jia family, and what he can get in this life is just a surname and a household registration - Jia Cong is a step-sister-in-law who has been certified by the government. If Jia Yuanchun dared to do something to him, not only would Jia's mother not be able to protect him, but even Jia Zheng would not be able to escape the involvement. That kind of consequence is definitely not something that he can pay for with his life, and even if someone accuses them of doing this for Jia Yu's family business and title, then Jia Zheng, Jia Yuanchun, and Jia Baoyu can only go to the court.

But Jia Jiu can't just tell these girls directly, if he says so. Will these girls believe him or not? Maybe it will anger the person behind it. The emperor can't take care of the affairs of other people's houses, and Jia Yuanchun dares to do it, just thinking that Jia's mother will be on his side. Jia Jiu did not have the right to drive Jia's mother out of the general's mansion - even Jia Yu could not do this - and even had to be respectful and filial to Jia's mother. In the case that Jia's mother must be supported, Jia Jiu can only win the support of Jia's mother.

It is also a good way to pass the words to the ears of Jia Mu through the mouths of these maids and servants.

Jia Jiu said: "Do you know that Lord Wang told me something today, and he will let my father and brother transfer to the same place, so that it will be convenient for me to save people." ”

Zhao Dong's family frowned unconsciously when he heard this: "Doesn't this mean that it is also convenient for others to serve the old man and the second master together?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "That's right. As long as you reveal the news to the Di people, saying that there is a large amount of grain and grass in the location of your father and brother, you can easily borrow a knife to kill people. ”

Zhao Dongjia was taken aback: "Girl, this." How good is that? "If Jia Yu and Jia Lian are finished, then the good days of this general's mansion will come to an end. These slaves were originally attached to the Jia family and the Jia family. If Jia Yu and Jia Lian are gone. So what should they do?

Jia Jiu said: "You can rest assured, although the Daomen have an agreement with people and will not go north lightly, it does not mean that they will sit back and watch the Di people invade the border pass of my Daqi, and the Di people will slaughter the people of my Daqi on the land of my Daqi." After all, I take Taoism as the state religion, but there are few people in the Di people. ”

Xiaohong listened to this for a while, and felt that something was wrong, but as a slave of the Jia family, or his upbringing since childhood, he had an extraordinary sensitivity to this kind of thing.

Xiaohong hurriedly said: "Girl, in this way, the girl has made other arrangements to ensure that the old master and the second master are not harmed?" What about this house? Although the old lady locked up the eldest girl, in the eyes of the maid, the old lady was not so much punishing the eldest girl as the old lady was protecting the eldest girl, lest the girl take care of the eldest girl herself. ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "It's not so much that the old lady is protecting the eldest sister, but that the old lady is protecting the second uncle, protecting Baoyu, and protecting his youngest son's family." ”

"Girl?"

The rest of the girls in the room screamed, and Qingwen even said loudly: "Girl, the eldest girl has calculated the girl like this, how can the girl still sit still?" ”

Xiaohong was silent for a while, and said, "Girl, do you want to say that if you really do something to the girl and the third master, then the second master's family will be finished." They were originally calculating the old master and the second master, and the sky net was restored and negligent, even if they succeeded, they could not escape the law, and the final outcome could only be ...... I'm afraid that in the end, they will make a calculation, and they won't be able to do well, and even the old lady is likely to end up with no one to support the elderly. So even for herself, the old lady will come forward to control the eldest girl and the second master, so that the girl and the third master can live peacefully until the old man and the second master return. ”

When Qingwen heard this, she immediately grabbed Xiaohong and said, "What did you say?" Are you telling the truth? But I was confused. Xiaohong, tell me what the hell is going on. ”

Even Si Qi and Xiu Tang also stared at Xiaohong with a pair of inquisitive eyes, not to mention other girls.

Xiaohong said: "Since ancient times, seeking money and killing people has been a major crime, and it is also the most important crime that attracts the attention of the world. Besides, there are one thing after another in our house this year, and I don't know how many people outside are staring at our house. If something happens here. I'm afraid that no one will be able to get a good life. Just like Zhao's mother is worried about this, if something really happens to the third master, people outside will suspect that it was there that made a move at the first time. If something happens to the old man and the second master, I am afraid that what is waiting over there is not this Wanguan family wealth, but a joint investigation from Jing Zhaoyin, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the palace secret guard. As long as one person speaks that it is a calculation over there, things will continue to expand, even if the old lady asks for the Jinluan Palace at that time, it is useless. ”

"Go on." Jia Jiu's cold voice sounded.

"Yes." Xiaohong responded and said, "The people are like this, they only want to believe what they believe." Even if there is no real evidence, they will be convinced that the other side has already destroyed the evidence first, and they will be enthusiastic and demand that the murderer be severely punished. At that time, not only the eldest girl couldn't save her life. Even the second master and Baoyu could not escape death. Therefore, the maid thinks that the old lady locked up the eldest girl on the surface because the eldest girl was heartbroken and locked people up, but in fact it was to protect the eldest girl and the second master's family. lest the eldest girl be provoked by someone with a heart and affect her parents and brothers. ”

Jia Jiu sighed. said: "You have to say two less." Since Wang Ziteng can arrange the duties of his father and brother, if his father and brother have an accident and someone insists on investigating, then Wang Ziteng can escape? It can be said that if my father and my brother really have an accident, it will be equivalent to confirming Wang Ziteng's rebellion, so that the Wang family will not be able to escape. As his in-laws, Wang Ziteng's two younger sisters are at home. Wang Ziteng's father-in-law family couldn't escape. In other words, in the end, it was nothing more than exchanging the three lives of our family for the lives of the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Xue family, as well as the lives of all the men in the second room! At the same time, the imperial court made a fortune in our family, and it was not just a fortune in the three families of the Wang family, the historian and the Xue family. ”

As he spoke, Jia Jiu laughed, but none of the people on the side could laugh, and Er Xiaohong's face was as pale as earth.

Zhao Dong's family reacted immediately: "Girl, can you say this casually?" ”

Jia Jiu smirked: "The imperial court is short of money, and the civil and military officials have forced Banzai to a desperate situation. You said that there were three or four piles of gold in front of you, and long live to take it or not? ”

"Girl!"

Jia Jiu smiled: "Okay, Mom, it's okay." I have already made it clear in public that Wang Ziteng is suspected of conspiracy, but now Wang Ziteng still has nothing to do, do you think that a gentleman and a minister can get along to this point? Only what Wang Ziteng did for the royal family, and he still had vital evidence in his hands, made the royal family jealous of him, and he was still at ease until now. In other words, if my younger brother has an accident, the people will definitely ask the royal family and the government to uphold justice, as the Yue family in the second room, the Wang family and Wang Ziteng must be inseparable, even if they put the blame on the eldest sister and Wang Xifeng, it is useless. And if Wang Ziteng is willing to kill, it will be fine, but if he throws out the things in his hand to protect himself, then the court is bound to usher in a big chaos. Therefore, when Cong'er's life is related to the survival of the four families and the stability of the country, what will the relevant people do? ”

The girls in the room looked at each other, not knowing how to react. Jia Jiu looked at the girl in the house, and finally stopped at Xiaohong's body. This girl's reaction is too strange, that is, Jia Jiu can't pay attention if she doesn't want to.

Jia Jiu originally thought that no matter how good Xiaohong was, it was just some insight and articulateness. But when I saw it today, Xiaohong was not only articulate, but also a young lady who was no less knowledgeable than ordinary people. Not to mention anything else, Jia Jiu is very sure that Jia Yuanchun can't think of this, as for whether Xue Baochai can think of this, then let's talk about it.

Originally, after hearing Jia Jiu's explanation, this girl should know very well what Jia Jiu didn't say, but this girl was trembling, as if a catastrophe was coming, and this reaction was indeed a little out of line.

Is he deliberately trying to get me interested? Or are you really scared?

What is he afraid of?

Jia Jiu was curious.

At the beginning, the Jia family sold more than three-quarters of the minions, and of course bought a lot of people to come in. Jia Jiu originally thought that there should be royal spies among the new minions, but he never thought that even Xiaohong could be spies!

If Xiaohong is a spy, will Xiaohong's parents, Lin Zhixiao and his wife, also be spies? Who will send it?

Jia Jiu was very curious. He would have liked that the other party would be a royal spy, so that he could. He was able to feel at ease. If not, then the fun is great.

Since they are spies, they naturally don't have to worry about their ability to do things. Are they really up to the task of doing their job?

Jia Jiu was very curious about Xiaohong's family's response and choice.

Really. The next day, when Jia Jiu was preparing the things for the Winter Clothes Festival in the study in front of him, Xiaohong knelt in front of Jia Jiu.

"Girl, can the servant delay you a little?"

Jia Jiu sent Qingwen to fetch the incense paper very casually, and when Qingwen left and there were only two people left in the house, she signaled Xiaohong to speak: "The maid dares to invite the girl Haihan, I, I was originally a ...... in the palace."

Jia Jiu understands in seconds. Sure enough, it came out of the palace.

He sighed and said, "I thought there were royal spies among those new girls, but I didn't expect it to be you. Are your parents too? ”

Xiaohong nodded slightly. Said: "Girl Rongyu, my father turned out to be the young master of the official eunuch family, and when he was young, he was infatuated with the daughter of the Wang family, but he didn't expect that this lovesickness would cause disaster to the family. My father regretted it. Several suicides. He was rescued again. Later, someone told his father that if he did things for him, he would be able to save his family. And my father complied. For more than 20 years, my father has been living in remorse, and only after learning the news that his family is well, can he be slightly relieved. It's just that my father never used his original surname again. ”

Jia Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "In other words, you haven't been here for long since you came to my house?" And not the son of our family? ”

Xiaohong said: "Yes, it's just that after my father came to the house, he recognized the old housekeeper as his father-in-law." This is the surname Lin, before that. Our surname is Qin. ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, sat up straight suddenly, and said, "Qin Keqing? ”

Xiaohong said: "Yes." Previously, my father was the housekeeper of the Qin family. ”

Jia Jiu's thoughts were swirling in his mind, and it took a long time to hear him say: "Since your father knows that his family is suffering misfortune because of the Wang family's daughter, why is he willing to take care of his daughter?" ”

Xiaohong said: "If you go back to the girl, the maid's grandfather has already returned to his hometown with his wife and children, and he is only dismissed from office." ”

"Just missing your father?"

"Yes."

"And what about your mother?"

Xiaohong said: "If you go back to the girl, my mother turned out to be a palace maid in the palace, and she has been in the palace for more than ten years, and the family has no relatives to rely on. This marriage is also the meaning of the above. ”

Jia Jiu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are the emperor's people?" ”

Xiaohong said in a low voice: "Back to the girl's words, no, it's the Queen Taishang." ”

Jia Jiu was stunned: "What did you say?" Empress Taishang? It's not the Emperor Taishang or the current long live, but the Empress Taishang? ”

Xiaohong said: "Yes, the maid's mother originally came out of the palace of Queen Taishang because of a vicious illness, and she had nowhere to be by her side after coming out, and it was Mama Su by Queen Taishang's side who barely recovered her body." It's just that at that time, the money around my mother was almost spent, and later I obeyed Mama Su's arrangement to marry my father. ”

Jia Jiu said: "What did Empress Taishang ask you to do?" For money? Or for food? ”

Xiaohong shook her head and said, "Neither." Mama Su just asked the maid's mother to report the news she heard in the house, and nothing else. ”

Jia Jiu nodded slightly after hearing this. He didn't understand that the Jia family was so chaotic, why didn't Queen Taishang take the opportunity to make some money? Didn't you say that the emperor was short of money? It's just that if it's so easy to damage his family, Jia Jiu won't open his mouth.

After a pause, Jia Jiu said, "What disease did your mother have in the first place?" was actually sent out of the palace like this? ”

Xiaohong said: "It's dysentery." Because of the fear of infecting the masters, the mother was kicked out of the court at the age of twenty-two. ”

Jia Jiu was silent for a while, and said: "Twenty or thirty years have passed since the affairs of the Wang family's daughter, so your father is at least forty years old, but your mother looks very young, if it is not for that dress, it means that he is only in his early thirties. ”

Xiaohong lowered her head and did not speak.

Jia Jiu tapped the table with his knuckles, and was silent for a while before saying, "You are the people of the Empress Taishang, but I am at ease." Since you have a way in the palace, is it possible for you to find the old palace maid who came out of the palace? ”

Xiaohong raised her head suddenly: "Isn't the girl sticking to us leaving?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Banzai today is the adopted son of Queen Taishang, we have you in our family, I am at ease, and the above is also at ease." As long as you take care of the family's Zhuangzi shop and fields for me, I don't care whose ears you are. ”

When Xiaohong heard this, she was overjoyed, and she said cautiously with some disbelief: "Even if it was the girl's words yesterday, can you report it?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Yes." I just need more people to help me protect my father and brother, and I don't care how it goes. By the way, remember to help find some old palace maids, be more reliable. At least four people, if more, about ten. It's time to fill in the gaps for so long. ”

Xiaohong said: "Girl, should I say hello to the master about this?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Not only my father, but also the eldest uncle of Dongfu, and Rong's daughter-in-law must also say hello." Say hello to your family first, and I'll write to my father first. (To be continued......)
