Jia Jiu explained a few words to the girl, took the two grandmothers and Xiaohong Qingwen in the car, and came to Jia's mother's courtyard through Rongxi Hall. Sure enough, Jia Zheng was also in front of Jia's mother.

Jia Jiu immediately knew that he was afraid that Jia Zheng had said something to Jia's mother.

Mother Jia saw that the nurturing grandmother behind Jia Jiu looked at Jia Zheng with a disapproving look on her face, and she was also a little unhappy in her heart. But he also remembered that his two sons had already split up, and Jia Zheng was a foreign man to Jia Jiu, so it was not appropriate to meet.

Jia's mother asked Jia Zheng to leave, and then said to Jia Jiu: "Second girl, I heard your second uncle say that the family is so lively today?" Still a foreigner? ”

Jia Jiu said: "What does the old lady want to know?" ”

Jia Mu was stunned. He didn't expect his granddaughter to open his mouth like this, he thought that this granddaughter was deliberately concealing.

Mother Jia waved her hand to let the girls and mothers-in-law in the house retreat, and even Jia Jiu's upbringing grandmothers followed suit, and then said, "Girl, can you talk about it now?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "As the old lady guessed, today not only is long live Weifu to drive our family, but even the two prime ministers and the internal minister are here, and even the eldest ancestor who is at home is also ordered to accompany him." ”

Jia Mu sat up straight all of a sudden, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Old lady, you heard it right. Not only is Banzai coming, but even the two Xiangye are here......"

Jia Mu was shocked and angry, and said, "Long live coming, you don't even entertain a meal or two?!!! ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's not just wine and rice, but also tea and fruit." ”

Jia Mu shouted angrily: "You girl, you are really angry with me!" ”

When Jia Zheng told Jia's mother. is just talking about Jia Jiu's girlfriend reputation, saying that Jia Jiu should not entertain foreign men when his father is not at home. Although Jia Mu felt that Jia Zheng had some truth in what he said, and thought that he should come forward when the general's mansion wanted to entertain foreign men, he thought that. Jia Jiu, who has a nurturing grandmother by her side, is definitely not the kind of girl who can't be carried clearly. So Jia Zheng's words, Jia's mother only listened to half and left half.

He never thought that the person who came was actually the emperor, and what he didn't expect was that his granddaughter didn't even entertain one or two tea, fruit, wine and rice.

Jia Mu was almost angry.

In Jia Mu's opinion, this is simply a provocation to him.

The emperor was fortunate that Jia Jiu didn't notify Jia Mu at the first time to let Jia Mu show her face, which already annoyed Jia Mu. As a result, Jia Jiu didn't entertain anything. Let the emperor go. Originally, she failed to notify Jia's mother at the first time, and Jia's mother could also come out and show her face when she held a banquet to entertain the emperor. Who would have thought that Jia Jiu would let the emperor go without entertaining anything.

Jia Jiu said: "Old lady." Although long live is coming, the granddaughter is indeed not doing as well as she wants. But old lady, you also have to think about it, who else in our family can take the place of my father to entertain Banzai? The piece of jade that is glorious and jade. The second uncle has already made Banzai uncomfortable. Coupled with the previous things, do you want to make Banzai remember all the things about the second uncle? Or are you going to cheapen outsiders? Besides, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to eat at our house today. ”

Jia Jiu knows very well that Jia Mu wants to climb into the heart of the powerful, especially this kind of opportunity to be able to have a relationship with the emperor, Jia Mu will definitely not let go. Jia Jiu knows better that Jia Zheng is ruthless and selfish. If Jia Mu appeared in front of the emperor, I was afraid that Jia Zheng would also show her face in front of the emperor.

Jia Jiu does not have great confidence in Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu father and son like Jia's mother. In order not to harm his own affairs, Jia Jiu could only wait for the emperor to leave before letting Jia Mu know the news.

To tell the truth, the emperor has only been gone for a long time. Jia Mu and Jia Zheng actually knew about it. Jia Jiu's heart is not happy.

Jia Mu was very angry when she heard Jia Jiu say that Jia Zheng was not. was about to speak, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt a sudden break in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Second girl, what's going on?" ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly said: "This is going to start with Emperor Gaozu and grandfather. At the beginning, my grandfather was ordered to cultivate a crop for Emperor Gaozu, but the destiny of heaven had come when he failed to succeed, and my father succeeded my grandfather to continue cultivating this crop. Old lady, you said, let the above know about this, what will happen to our family? ”

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why haven't I heard anything about this?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Old lady, a bumper grain harvest is a good thing, but there are also grains that hurt farmers in a bumper harvest year." The yield of this red lotus is 2,000 catties per mu, if it is not done well, I am afraid that this disaster will not be worse than the harvest year. What's more, this red lotus originally grew in the jungle of Nanban, and it is said that the southern land is humid, rainy and hot, and even rice can be harvested three times a year. If the red lotus that comes out of such a place wants to take root in our Daqi and bring happiness to the people of our Daqi, where can it be achieved overnight? If it is poked out early, with the temperament of some people, I am afraid that if we do not see results in three or five years, we will say that our family has bullied the king! ”

Jia Mu nodded, beckoned Jia Jiu to sit beside him, and said, "Exactly." Your grandfather was a cautious man. When he was at home, I didn't have to worry about it, as long as I lived my own life. If your grandfather had arranged this, he would not have let anyone know about it until it was done. ”

Jia Jiu said: "It was my grandfather's explanation that my father didn't say anything." That year, it was easy to have some results, and my father also thought that in the autumn, he could have an explanation with the above, who would have thought that Baoyu would be born with a jade. If we hand over the red lotus at this time, what will the boss think of our family? It turned out to bring rich and long red lotus to our family, but I am afraid that it will become a lifeline for our family. On the one hand, it was the hard work of two generations, and on the other hand, the safety of the family, my father thought about it, and finally reluctantly destroyed the red lotus that was cultivated, leaving only a small seedling to raise in a flower pot to make a thought......

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, then sighed for a long time before she heard him say, "Go on." ”

"Yes." Jia Jiu said in a low voice, "When the granddaughter got the current courtyard from her father this year, her father undoubtedly lost her mouth. The granddaughter thinks that since this red lotus is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. It was an agreement between Emperor Gaozu and his grandfather, and he couldn't let all his grandfather's hard work go to waste. So the granddaughter replanted the red weed in the ground. Later, she got acquainted with Zhang Cuifeng's sister from Zhang's guerrilla family, and knew that the border soldiers were often hungry, so her granddaughter was bold. Divided Sister Feng some. Last month, Sister Zhang wrote to her granddaughter to tell her that this red lotus grows very well at the border pass......"

Jia Mu said: "So long live it?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "It was Zhang Guerrilla who had an excerpt with Banzai, long live today to drive the Jiashan Eldest Princess's Mansion, and told the Jiashan Eldest Princess about the people below and deceived him with auspiciousness, and the granddaughter told Banzai about the red lotus." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she said, "Long live what did you say?" What reward is there to give? ”

Jia Jiu smiled bitterly: "Old lady." Where do we dare to ask for any reward now? It would be nice to be able to save my life! ”

Jia Mu was stunned and said, "You mean Baoyu's piece of jade?" ”

The tone of the questioning sentence is affirmative, that is, Jia Mu now regards Jia Baoyu's jade as a hot potato. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't find a suitable reason to dispose of this piece of jade for a while, Jia Mu would have smashed this thing a long time ago. But there is no way to clean up this stone for a while. Jia's mother also asked someone to press Jia Baoyu's piece of psychic jade on the bottom of the box. Now Jia Baoyu is wearing a gold name lock around his neck, not the Tongling Jade.

Jia Mu didn't need Jia Jiu to answer at all. As Jia Jiu repeatedly emphasized, Jia Baoyu's stone is not a good thing for the entire Jia family. experienced a lot of Wang's daughters back then. Jia Mu was well aware of the imperial court's attitude on certain matters. Arguably. Jia Baoyu can live to this day entirely because he himself is not a weapon and he has no lower limit for spoiling him, otherwise, Jia Baoyu would have read early like other children and showed his talent in reading, then it would not be the granddaughter in front of him who fell into the water that year, but Jia Baoyu.

In this regard, Jia's mother had serious doubts in her heart that her little daughter-in-law had no brains. There was such a big incident! In order to fight for power, he actually took the lives of his whole family as a child's play! Was I kicked in the head by a donkey? How could you forget to seal. Instead, he went crazy and made things all over the city.

Now it's too late to regret it.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu was congested.

As an old man who has experienced the world, Jia Mu certainly knows the benefits of red lotus. If there was no Jia Baoyu at the beginning, I am afraid that the Jia family will be the hereditary Duke's Mansion at this time, where will it be the first-class Shenwei General's Mansion! Even as long as the red lotus is there, it is a change of dynasty, and the Jia family will be worshiped from above like Confucius's family! Even Jia Yuanchun doesn't have to have so many twists and turns, maybe like Concubine Li, she will be a serious concubine when she enters the palace.

Thinking that she had actually mistaken such a big fortune, Jia's mother regretted that her intestines were blue.

After being silent for a while, Jia Mu spoke: "Second girl, what happened to this red lotus now?" ”

Jia Jiu smiled bitterly: "What else? There is Baoyu's piece of jade, if you get a red lotus again, I am afraid that someone will say that our family is destined to return. At that time, even our family had no intention of rebelling, and there was no room for us from above. The father and brother were in the north again, and they didn't know if it was good or not, so the granddaughter exchanged this red lotus with Banzai, so that Banzai would let her father and brother return safely no matter what. ”

"Isn't it good at all?"

Jia Jiu said: "It's not without benefits, at least the people at the border should know about the relationship between our family and Hongyi." It's just that it's hard to say whether the outside will give us the credit. It would be nice for our family to be able to get back some of the influence in the military that originally belonged to our family. ”

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to be deflated, and softened on the lacquered couch.

He also knew that Jia Jiu's doing this was already the best arrangement. If you don't send this red lotus up, I'm afraid that it will break out in the future, and the Jia family is afraid that no one will survive. In exchange for her son's safe return, what else is Jia's mother not willing? Moreover, Jia Jiu also said that people in the army still know the good of their families, and this is enough.

Jia's mother is a mother in the end, and his every move is for his two sons.

Jia Mu sighed, patted Jia Jiu's hand, and said, "Second girl, it's hard for you." Don't worry, it's okay, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. As long as your father comes back safely, as long as the people are still around, there may be good things to come in the future. Since your father has made such a meritorious deed, he will naturally be blessed by the gods and Buddhas. ”

Jia Mu did not let Jia Jiu continue to stay in his house. He also needs time to sort out his mood and clear his mind. Jia Jiu believed. As long as Jia Mu has a little brain, he will know what to do next.

It's Qingwen, he can't figure it out. So when the three of them climbed into the mule cart, they couldn't help but ask: "Girl, why hasn't the lord ever reported the good news to the court?" If the old man had reported to the court earlier, there would not have been so many things. ”

Jia Jiu sighed and said: "The breeding and improvement of crops are the most urgent, and there are even cases where there is no improvement in one or two decades. After all, people have grown on this land for thousands of years, and they should also hula and chirp their habits. Where is it so easy?! That is, this kind of thing is the most taboo and eager for quick success. But what kind of character the second wife is, we all know very well. If nothing else, let's talk about Baoyu's piece of jade. Back then, if my father reported the red lotus to the imperial court. If there is another incident about Baoyu being born of jade, I am afraid that there will be few people in the family at this time. From the second wife, we can also know who the Wang family is. In other words, their royal family used the power of our family to enter the eyes of Banzai. If you don't do what you have and don't. Their wealth is also indispensable, but look at what they did later? This red lotus is a good thing, but I am afraid that it will become a scourge to the country and the people if they toss it. ”

Qingwen said: "Scourge? How can it be? ”

Xiaohong smiled: "Qingwen, what the girl said is also the truth. Do you think, since this thing is so high-yielding, in order to show their faces in front of Banzai, where will the people below continue to grow rice and wheat? I'm afraid that chickens and dogs will force all the people below to change to red roots. The people have never planted red vetches in their hearts, and they don't know where the trick to planting red vetches is. Those who come and go, where is there no resentment? Again. The laws of the imperial court today are clear, and there are only so many kinds of grain that can be used to pay taxes. When the autumn harvest came, every household had collected tens of thousands of red roots, but no one came to collect them. On the one hand, there is a tax that cannot be delayed for a moment, and on the other hand, there is a red lotus that cannot be sold at all. If it falls to such a result, the common people will not jump. That's what the government forced the people to rebel against! According to the temper of the Wang family, the good is theirs, and the bad is the fault of others. I'm afraid that at that time, they will pick and push things to the house. You say, according to the situation in the previous two years and Wang Ziteng's favored Cheng dù, who would Banzai be willing to believe? ”

Qingwen suddenly realized: "No wonder." If the Wang family knows, the credit will be snatched away, not to mention, and there will be no hard work. wasted his hard work and didn't say it, but also caused disaster to his family. If I had been replaced, I was afraid that I would have made the same decision as my master. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Not really. ”

Qingwen snorted and said, "The second wife is really harmful, not to mention the harm to our master, even his own son has become a victim." ”

Jia Jiu said: "If not, why did the ancestor warn us to divide the sect? I'm afraid that even the ancestors know that this is not easy to do. ”

That being said, as long as Jia's mother is here, as long as Jia Zheng still lives in this mansion, I am afraid that the connection between the two families is still indispensable. Could it be that you really want to kick Jia Zheng away by building a grand view garden?

Jia Jiu couldn't help but lower his head to think about such a possibility.

Jia's mother is still strong, and it seems that he has no problem living to be in his eighties. But this family can't afford to toss. If Jia Zheng continues to live here, there will be something in the future, that is, to talk about things in the sect, and people don't want to believe that their family has nothing to do with them.

Therefore, let Jia Yuanchun seal the concubine, and then build a provincial villa, and let Jia Zheng's family move over to take care of the provincial villa. As long as this provincial villa is not built in this general's mansion, it naturally has nothing to do with him.

Theoretically, there is still room for maneuvering. But in terms of time, it is a little tight.

In Jia Jiu's house, Jia Cong waited for his sister's return. As soon as he heard a noise in the courtyard in front of him, he immediately threw off his feet and ran to the door. He still remembered his sister's instructions, he was not allowed to step out of the door after dark, so he had to hold the door frame and probe his brain, and when he saw Jia Jiu entering the house, he immediately rushed over and hugged his sister's thigh.

Jia Jiu shook his head, reached out to take his brother's hand, and entered the back room together.

Jia Cong is a child in the end, he has been holding on since the emperor came, even if Jia Jiu was called by Jia's mother and didn't go back to sleep, he was already too tired at this time. After being tired of Jia Jiu for a while, he began to yawn.

Jia Jiu waited for Jia Cong to fall asleep, put him on the rocking bed, and when he fell asleep, he still spit bubbles, and then said: "It looks like we should prepare a house for Cong'er." By the way, are you ready for everything I ordered? ”

Zhao Dongjia hurriedly said: "If you go back to the girl, the number of flower pots that the girl wants is not enough, and the slave has already asked the mother-in-law below to make a few sturdy open wooden boxes with wooden boards." It's just that the craftsmanship of these mothers-in-law is not very good, and this kind of wooden box can only be used to hold soil, and if you want not to leak, it will not work. ”

Jia Jiu said: "I want him to leak." ”

Zhao Dong's family said: "Yes, according to the girl's instructions, all the houses over there have been vacated, the spring stools that the girl wants have been completed, and the kang has also been raised." I just don't know what else the girl has to say. ”

Jia Jiu said: "This is very good. Fill those boxes and pots with dirt. I'll go back and plant those vines. Maybe someone will ask us for red sprouts in the coming year. ”

Xiaohong said: "Didn't the girl say that this red lotus has nothing to do with the house in the future." ”

Jia Jiu said: "If the red lotus is really so productive. Do you think the Taoist and Confucian sects can sit still? This is a treasure that is tied to the world. ”

Since the red lotus is so high-yielding, it can naturally solve the food and clothing of many people. This world is different from other worlds, he is a world of cultivating immortals, didn't he see that Ming Ming Zhu Grass didn't need the nectar of the Shenying attendant, but because of the actions of the Shenying attendant, he had to go down to the mortal world to repay the debt?

If I'm not mistaken, the world is very focused on cause and effect. Regardless of whether this red lotus matter was publicized in the end or not, this cause and effect was still added to oneself. In other words, even if it is not proclaimed, heaven and earth will still admit that this cause and effect belongs to them. Therefore, the wider the planting range, the more benefits it will be for yourself.

Now that the emperor already knew about the red lettuce, he could start planting it on a large scale in the coming year. Therefore, it is now necessary to prepare the seedlings.

Red motes can be propagated by cuttings using vines, but this kind of cuttings depends on the season. It's winter now, it turns out that it's not the season for cuttings, and these vines have been frozen in the cold winter for so long, so Jia Jiu needs to use spiritual healing techniques to activate their vitality, so as to be able to ensure the survival rate after cuttings to a greater extent.

Therefore, Jia Jiu plans to do it himself, and he can only do it himself.

Sitting on the small pestle, Jia Jiu personally demonstrated to Xiaohong Qingwen and the two girls how to choose the right vines, in fact, he had already taken this opportunity to start checking the condition of these vines. Then use Qingwen and Xiaohong to pick out the vines, cut them into sections of seedlings with small leaves and buds, and then Jia Jiu performs spiritual healing techniques to activate the vitality of the vines, and then plant them in simple flower pots.

These pots, along with the soil inside, are scalded with boiling water and then baked on top of a fire. When the temperature and humidity reach the right level, Jia Jiu will plant the treated red lotus seedlings. Of course, during this period, Jia Jiu would not forget to brush up on a few spiritual healing techniques to stimulate the growth of red roots. During the whole process, the temperature in the flower hall was always under Jia Jiu's monitoring.

was busy until dawn, Xiaohong and Qingwen were so tired that they went back to sleep, and even the two Jinxiu and Xiutang, who connected Xiaohong and Qingwen, were so tired that they couldn't open their eyes, and Jia Jiu was so busy that he was done.

The original furniture in this flower hall has been moved to other places, and even the plug rows have been removed, so that the original three rooms are connected. One foot away from the wall are two spring stools side by side, on the spring stools are two wooden boxes, the wooden boxes are not high, at most only about seven inches, and the boxes are planted with red roots. The spring bench is on top of the spring bench, and there are two wooden boxes on it.

I can't find a big enough shelf for the time being, so that's all I can do.

Jia Jiu stayed in this flower hall for two days, and made sure that these red lotus trees survived, so he went back to rest. Even if he had a [Advanced Cultivation Ground] to rest in his time, it was also a lot of pressure for him to keep brushing up on spiritual healing techniques for the past three days. In order to ensure that these red seedlings can survive as much as possible, he has tensed his nerves, even if he was in the first place, it was nothing more than that. (To be continued......)
