seems to be an ordinary murder for money, but combined with the history and family style of the Jia family, it can be transformed into a major case that threatens the stability of the imperial court in a blink of an eye.

This is Jia Jiu's evaluation of the diffusion impact of Lin Daiyu's ending in the original book.

If the emperor is a Kangxi-like figure in the middle and late stages, with countless talents and countless officials in his hands, maybe Lin Daiyu's death will be lifted high and gently put down, but if the emperor is a Yongzheng type, he is a flawed and retribution-type character, and there are few loyal and capable talents in his hands, then he definitely doesn't mind taking the opportunity to clean up the Jia family.

In fact, Lin Ruhai was able to serve for several consecutive years in the salt administration, and this number is still greater than or equal to four, which shows that the emperor is still quite satisfied with Lin Ruhai, otherwise, Lin Ruhai would have been beheaded by the emperor a long time ago, and where could he be re-elected for several years in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History? You must know that Kangxi doted on the Cao family so much, and the Cao family was not always re-elected as an official in the salt administration, but he alternated with the Li family, and the two families worked together for eight years.

Therefore, Jia Jiu has always paid attention to the affairs of the Lin family and Lin Daiyu. He believes that Lin Daiyu has brought the dual benefits of property and connections to their family, and he must ensure the safety of Lin Daiyu's life and property.

This qiē is Lin Ruhai's legacy, and the root is Lin Ruhai's orphan, which has little to do with Lin Daiyu herself. Lin Daiyu's character and personality only determine the attitude of others towards him, but this responsibility is not because of Lin Daiyu herself, but because of Lin Ruhai's trust.

As for maintaining Lin Daiyu, in Jia Jiu's opinion. What he needs to do, and what he needs to do the most, is to maintain the reputation of Lin Daiyu's sisters and brothers. For example, Shouxiao, Lin Daiyu's reputation. And the only people who can influence these two things are Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. As long as Jia Jiu stopped Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's calculations, the rest of the four aunts around him would be able to deal with it, and he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Moreover, Shi Xiangyun's jealousy is not trivial. If Jia Jiuren's predecessors and successors took great care of Lin Daiyu. will only attract jealousy for Lin Daiyu. Not to mention anything else, if Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun brought Jia Baoyu into the back garden, I am afraid that there will be more things from now on.

Jia Jiu was thinking about Lin Daiyu. I heard Tanchun say: "Second sister, speaking of which, we shouldn't have come to disturb my sister so late, but today is really strange." At noon. The younger sister also heard in a trance that the second sister had stopped the second brother and Sister Yun outside the back garden. But in a blink of an eye, Sister Yun and I lived in this back garden. The place where the second brother has always wanted to come in, but we came in so easily. I'm still playing the drums in my heart."

Jia Jiu sighed, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said, "Third sister, in fact, I have kept these words in my heart for a few years. Men and women are not seated at the same age as 7 years old. For those who pay attention to a little bit, the brothers and sisters in the family will grow up to be seven years old. You will have your own independent yard. But what about our family? Although it is our duty to be filial to the old lady as granddaughters, we still have to abide by the rules and etiquette that we should abide by. It's a big deal, just a little more footwork. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "What about the attacker? Second sister, why did you get so good and beat the attacker? Could it be that attacking people in the hearts of the second sister is not as good as a rough mother-in-law? ”

The attacker was recommended by Shi Xiangyun to Jia's mother, and it was precisely because of Shi Xiangyun's recommendation that the attacker was able to serve Jia Baoyu. Something happened to the attacker, and Shi Xiangyun was quite faceless.

From this point of view, Shi Xiangyun is really similar to Jia Mu. In terms of face and reasonableness, Shi Xiangyun always takes care of face first, rather than being like Jia Jiu, giving priority to reasonableness and benefits.

At least, Jia Jiu wouldn't let those minions dance on his head for the sake of a charitable reputation.

Jia Jiu said: "Look at what Sister Yun said, what does it have to do with attacking me?" He is Baoyu's girl, not my girl. As for the doorkeeper, I haven't seen it a few times. How much does it have to do with me if the attacker and that mother-in-law, no matter which one goes out or stays? Oh, maybe that woman is more important, after all, his position is related to the reputation and future of Qian'er and Qing'er. Don't be sloppy. ”

"Then it doesn't matter?"

Jia Jiu said: "I don't have so much energy, so I put my hand in my cousin's brother's house, especially this cousin is still raised in front of the old lady." It's just that I'm also a daughter, and I also have a temper. People like us, with countless girls and needlework girls at home, where do we need a daughter like us to make clothes by herself? The old lady entrusted the attacker with a heavy responsibility, and raised such a girl, for Baoyu's clothes. The result? That attacker can't do it himself, and he won't let those girls do it, but it will arouse me? I don't pay attention to it, and he orchestrates me! 'In the old year, I moved and made a purse, but this year I haven't even touched a needle! I didn't know that the girl in the treasure jade house was so clear about the things in my house! And talk to irrelevant people! Am I his little girl?! If he dares to chew my tongue behind my back, he will prepare my return gift! ”

Jia Jiu rarely spoke harshly in front of his sisters, so much so that Shi Xiangyun thought that this second sister was still the bun in front of Jia's mother, and anyone could pinch it, but forgot about it, if Jia Jiu didn't have the means, how could Mrs. Jia Zhengwang fall to the point where she is now?

Listening to Jia Jiu's words, Shi Xiangyun's face was scornful.

He is good friends with the attackers, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with helping the attackers, not to mention, the two people he is familiar with, Xue Baochai and Tanchun, often do needlework, shoes and socks for Jia Baoyu, so Shi Xiangyun never thinks that it is wrong for these girls to make clothes, shoes and socks and various accessories for Jia Baoyu.

Of course, no one around Shi Xiangyun mentioned this taboo to Shi Xiangyun, but encouraged Shi Xiangyun to curry favor with Jia Baoyu.

With girls like Cui Wei, their identity and status are determined, they will only look at the problem from the perspective of the amount of money, and they can't see the deeper content. Indeed, the historian began to be frugal, and even the needle and thread were not used much. Unlike the Jia family, there is still a group of needlework girls, Rao is like this. Jia Baoyu also disliked the work of these needlework girls, refused to use the clothes, shoes and socks they made, and asked Jia's mother to buy him another group of girls to take care of his clothes.

In fact, the historian used a minimalist model, and a lot of repetitive waste was cut. And the Jia family. Because of Jia Mu's zài, a lot of pomp and circumstance and the like still exist zài.

It's like this sewing room.

Jia's mother's clothes are the same as his daily meals. The pomp and circumstance is huge. Before the family was divided, the sewing room was in charge of Jia's mother's clothes, just like the big kitchen was in charge of Jia's mother's food. During the New Year's holidays, the slaves below will send filial piety. The officials who flattered the Rongguo Marquis Mansion outside would bring gifts in. These filial piety and gifts naturally include clothes and jewelry - of course, this kind of clothing and jewelry, Jia Jiu has it, Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters also have it, and the difference is only based on the difference in generation and identity, and the actual value will be different. - Even the juniors in the family, such as Li Kun and Jia Jiu. During the Chinese New Year, he would also cut two sets of clothes for Jia's mother.

It's just the clothes and jewelry that are obtained outside, and Jia's mother herself will never put them on. In the end, it's just used to press the bottom of the box, or to reward the juniors and minions below.

Jia's mother only wears clothes made at home, and only recognizes the craftsmanship of a few people, Rao is so, Jia's mother is not satisfied, and often feels that the clothes and accessories sent below are too sloppy. Take wiping her forehead as an example, Jia Mu only wears mandarin ducks.

To sum up, Jia's mother's clothes have four sources, the share of the family's needlework room, the work of the girls in her house, and the filial piety of her younger generations.

There are so many clothes, in fact, the last thing Jia Mu wears is only a quarter, and the more is still placed in the box, occupying the space in vain.

Among these expenses, the sewing room is the largest, and the clothing and silver money allocated to the sewing room every year cannot be found out if the amount of ink is less than a quarter.

In Jia Jiu's opinion, like the Shi family, the needlework room was cut, and the women in the family personally took the girls to do needlework, which was the long-term solution. But Jia's mother is used to it, and the needlework room of the Jia family is really not cut for a while.

Jia Jiu is okay here. Even if he doesn't wear the clothes he gets outside, he will either send them to the garment shop outside, or dismantle and wash them, and make them into something else, such as purses, sachets, and fake flowers on his head or for decoration in the house.

As for the jewelry, if it is delicate, he will leave it, it is not delicate enough, or it looks undignified but the value is attractive, he will also give it to the jeweler, so that the jeweler can remelt it and make it into jewelry he likes.

Jia Qian and Jia Qing are in a similar situation, so Jia Yu still wastes less on these things.

The problem is Jia Baoyu, the waste in his house is the biggest and the strictest.

responded to what Jia Lian's grandmother Zhao said: "...... In this house, there are seven or eight hands in one position, and there is no one to do things. The money cost seven or eight times, and the thing was still not done. ……”

It's a pity that Jia Baoyu was kept in Jia's mother's house, even if Jia Jiu had a heart, it was impossible to reach into Jia's mother's house.

Originally, Jia Jiu planned to turn a blind eye to the affairs in Jia Baoyu's house, but he dared to say bad things about him behind his back, and gave Jia Baoyu bad ideas and acted against himself, how could Jia Jiu tolerate him?

That's right, Jia Jiu can't directly do anything to the girl in Jia Baoyu's house, but he can borrow Mrs. Wang's hand to get rid of the attacker. The attacker is not Vajra Bodhisattva, invulnerable. He already had a bunch of pigtails, and Jia Jiu just let people pass on a few words, and the attack was completely planted.

Tanchun is also a smart person, knowing that Shi Xiangyun's words are a little wrong, and he also knows that Jia Jiu has been provoked, if this continues, the two of them will inevitably fall apart. Shi Xiangyun is Jia's mother's niece and granddaughter, and Jia Jiu is Jia Yu's sweetheart, if these two make trouble, they may not have trouble, but I am afraid that he will become a pond fish that will be affected.

Tanchun said: "The attack was trained by the old lady, and he looked honest, he said that the second brother's work was too much to finish, and he begged me to help him do it." ”

Jia Jiu glared at Tanchun and said, "That's you." You are Baoyu's own sister, you do it for Baoyu, that is your brother and sister affection. Why should I do it? After the separation, we are not even brothers and sisters. Baoyu is a foreign man to me! Which lady makes underwear for foreign men? I have a father, an older brother and a brother, but I have a little free time, and I still have to be busy with my mother's affairs! Where do I have so much time. Take care of a foreign man's work! Could it be that I should leave my father and brother behind, leave my sick mother alone, and go to give a girl who attacked someone for ten taels of silver? Even if you live here, you can't ask me to do this, let alone him! The old lady handed Baoyu over to the raider, hoping that the raider could take good care of Baoyu. Since he can't do well, there are naturally other girls, where does he have to be? He was bought by our family. The monthly money every month is also the best in the girl. Since he can't complete the old lady's entrustment, he should abdicate and let the capable person do the errand and receive the monthly money. No ability, no ability. It's still working behind the scenes. It is also self-inflicted on itself to end up in such a situation. ”

Seeing Jia Jiu's fierce words, Tanchun was also dumb.

It was Jia Jiu, after taking a few deep breaths, before he slowed down his voice and said, "Third sister, sister Yun, don't complain that I don't like what I say." You know, this kind of thing can be big or small. To put it mildly, it is because you are affectionate and do not know how to shirk. Say it to Dazato. I'm afraid that someone will count you behind your back, you are not respectful enough, easy to bully, and easy to handle! ”

Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun jumped up all of a sudden: "How come?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Then let me ask you, who is the person who got the praise for helping to make the needlework in the Baoyu House?" Who is the one who has benefited? Don't think I don't know, you didn't even get a word of thanks. It's done today, and tomorrow Baoyu will be ruined, and I'll ask you to do it when I turn around! Isn't it? boiled his eyes red in vain, spent so much effort in vain, and finally got praise, it was the girl who attacked people, all you got was endless work! ”

After saying a few words, Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun both lowered their heads.

Jia Jiu is also telling the truth. A few days ago, Shi Xiangyun agreed to the invitation of the attacker and made a sachet for Jia Baoyu, and the attacker coaxed Jia Baoyu to make it by a girl outside, and then Jia Baoyu didn't know why, so he cut it with a knife, and turned around and asked the attacker to find the girl outside. Later, I learned that it was Shi Xiangyun who did it, and I realized that I regretted it.

Jia Jiu still remembers that in the original book, this sachet was cut because Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were arguing.

However, in Jia Jiu's opinion, as long as the attacker did not tell Jia Baoyu that this sachet was made by Shi Xiangyun, then, even if there was no Lin Daiyu, there would be other people and other things that would provoke Jia Baoyu to cut the sachet.

As long as there is a girl who is used to attacking people, she will make ghosts behind her back.

In Jia Jiu's opinion, in such a matter as needlework for Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun is completely self-inflicted and thankless. It's Tanchun who made shoes for Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu still knows that he made it, but he doesn't dare to tell Jia Zheng, as for Lin Daiyu, it's just that Jia Baoyu begged him for a long time before he made one for him, and he wouldn't give it to him if it didn't take a year. Therefore, Jia Baoyu remembers Lin Daiyu and Tanchun, but how did he know what Shi Xiangyun did for him? The credit for Shi Xiangyun is credited to the attacker. Shi Xiangyun only ended up with no merit, only hard work.

There is no Jia Jiu in the original book, there is only one Ermu Jia Yingchun, so Jia Jiu can't control it. But now, since Jia Jiu is in charge of the inner house of the Marquis of Rongguo, then Jia Jiu will not allow such a thing to happen again.

At the very least, he wanted Shi Xiangyun to clearly understand what his Jia Jiu's attitude was. As for the attitude of the world, it depends on whether Shi Xiangyun can understand it.

Shi Xiangyun was silent for a while, and said, "However, Sister Bao is also doing it for Brother Ai." ”

"Can that be the same?"

Jia Jiu was helpless.

At this point, Shi Xiangyun made the same mistake as Jia Baoyu and had no common sense.

Can Shi Xiangyun be the same as Xue Baochai? Shi Xiangyun is the eldest daughter of the Shi family's eldest daughter and the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, but Xue Baochai is the daughter of a businessman. Moreover, the Xue family is still a merchant family who has registered their names on it and lost their signboards, can such a family be compared with the Shi family?

For the sake of their family's signboard, the Xue family naturally needs to ask the Jia family and the Shi family, and the Wang family in the original book - for help, so they naturally have to curry favor with Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun. The only thing that Xue Baochai can bully is Lin Daiyu, whose parents are dead, and he can only bully and blame behind his back, and he doesn't dare to let Jia's mother know.

Jia Jiu didn't know, in the original book, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai were affectionate, and Lin Daiyu was worried about what Miss Gonghou, the daughter of the official eunuch, and the commoner girl came, and I don't know what he thought in his heart.

In this class society with clear identities, friendship beyond identity and class is not nothing, but Xue Baochai is obviously not the kind of person who can go beyond identity and class, and in Jia Jiu's view, Xue Baochai is not worthy of the friendship that others pay for him beyond identity and class. Because this woman is too calculating, most of the dealings, he has to take the lion's share, even if the two sides have a friendship, but how can such a friendship last?

In the original book, Shi Xiangyun will be separated from Xue Baochai in the end, leaving only regrets in his heart, which was actually doomed from the beginning.

Jia Jiu looked at Shi Xiangyun, not knowing whether he should tell Shi Xiangyun this, and he didn't know whether Shi Xiangyun could listen to it or not. (To be continued......)
