Lin Ruhai found time to chat with Jia Zheng for an afternoon, Jia Zheng felt that his words were not wrong, and after Lin Ruhai returned to the room, he came to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

But Baoyu and Jia Huan were both there, and he couldn't help but reprimand his son, until a girl came in and replied, "Master, Mrs., the old lady sent someone to pick up the second master back." ”

When Jia Zheng heard that it was someone sent by Jia's mother, he stopped helplessly and shouted: "Don't go quickly, serve the old lady well, don't be naughty." ”

Baoyu had been waiting for this sound for a long time, Nuo Nuo's response, slowly exited the room, and when he saw that the person who came was the glass in the old lady's room, he happily went over and made a gesture, "Thank you sister for saving me." ”

The glass dodged, covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't you dare to be the second master's gift, it was the old lady who saw the second master come over so late and was worried, so she sent me here." ”

"Second master, let's go quickly, the old lady should be in a hurry."

Baoyu happily followed the glass, and the eldest girl in Mrs. Wang's room, Jin Chuan, breathed a sigh of relief, just now I was really afraid that the old man would be angry and punish Baoyu again.

Mrs. Wang didn't put her mind at ease until her son left, looked at Jia Huan, who was still standing obediently on the side, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, Brother Huan'er should go back to the room quickly." ”

Jia Huan quietly looked at Jia Zheng and listened to him: "Don't go quickly!" ”

Jia Huanfang saluted and slowly retreated.

Seeing that his sons were gone, Jia Zheng waved away the girl who was going to pour tea for him, pointed to the opposite of him, and said, "Mrs. Sit, I have something to say." ”

Mrs. Wang sat down opposite Jia Zheng and poured a cup of tea for Jia Zheng with her own hands, "What do you have to tell me, master?" ”

Jia Zheng's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are the girls who are going to serve my brother-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, the girl is inappropriate?" ”

"Today, my brother-in-law went to look for me, saying that it was only two little girls, and there was no need for a girl to serve me. I was almost ashamed to die, who chose such an unruly girl. Jia Zheng's face was so black that he could drip ink.

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Those two girls were specially selected by the old lady for my aunt." ”

As soon as Jia Zheng heard this, he understood, and drank helplessly: "Ridiculous." It's just that it's his own mother who proposed, and he can't say anything more, so he can only stuff himself, "Since my brother-in-law said it, let's recruit people back." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "The little guys are rough, where are the girls careful." Why don't I change two more people. ”

Jia Zheng shook his head, "No need, my brother-in-law refuses to use it." ”

Mrs. Wang pouted secretly, the men are all the same, and there are cats that don't steal fish? She didn't believe it. However, even if it was Lin Ruhai's request, her husband specially instructed her, so she recruited the girl back. It's just that. These two girls can't stay, let's send them out in a few days. As for Lin Ruhai, where he is going to find the ghost, it's none of her business, isn't it? Be angry. It's also Jia Min's anger. The person who is worried is nothing more than Jia's mother, "Where is the old lady?" ”

Jia Zheng said: "Where is the old lady, I will go and say it myself." ”

Mrs. Wang nodded. "In that case, I will bring them back." When she saw that her husband seemed to have something to say, she got up and changed his tea. Sit back in place.

Jia Zheng lightly throated, picked up the teacup and took a sip before speaking again, "In Brother Zhu's room, how many aunts and girls are there now?" ”

Mrs. Wang looked at her husband in surprise, he always didn't care about this, why did he ask today. She lowered her head and thought about it, but didn't dare to say it all: "There is only one serious aunt now, who is the daughter-in-law's companion, and now she is pregnant." The other few are all girls. "I didn't name how many people came.

Jia Zheng frowned, "In this case, except for the pregnant one, plus the old lady's reward, let the rest go out and marry." ”

"Master, where do you start?" Mrs. Wang is very dissatisfied, her son, the son of a dignified prince, what's wrong with putting a few more girls in the room, can't you afford it? "But what did the in-laws say?" The first thing she thought of was what her daughter-in-law Li Kun said when she came home.

Jia Zheng sighed, "It's my brother-in-law who woke me up, Zhu'er's body and bones are not very strong, and she has to study hard, which is already very laborious, where can she withstand the female color scraping bones." ”

Mrs. Wang immediately said: "What does the daughter-in-law do, she shouldn't take care of those girls." ”

Jia Zheng: The problem of "......" in the inner house was originally the wife's responsibility. But at the moment, the saint is not very close to the concubines, but has a very good relationship with the queen, and even the ministers of the court and the central government have also restrained a lot and resolutely followed the emperor's footsteps. No matter how sluggish Jia Zheng is, he also feels it. Surely, on this issue, he is rarely tough, "Do as I say, it will be rewarded by the old lady, and when I return to the old lady, I will also let it out." He also plans to teach his son that self-cultivation is a must.

Jia Zheng spoke, and even if Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied, she could only nod in agreement. The next day, when Jia Zheng left, he called Li Kun and reprimanded him, "I don't even know what you're doing, by those girls and foxes." ”

Li Kun was full of grievances, and he didn't dare to refute, he lowered his head and was reprimanded by Mrs. Wang. Jia Zhu's aunts and concubines, except for the one she had to give to her dowry girl, the rest were either given by Jia's mother, or given by Mrs. Wang, and then they were the ones who served Jia Zhu, which one could she say? Which one do you dare to say? Rao is like this, and her mother-in-law still beats her every day, for fear that she will be jealous and will not tolerate anyone. Who would have thought that it had only been a few days, and she had been blamed for indulging the girl and the fox husband.

Mrs. Wang gave Li Kun a lecture, and when she saw her honestly hanging her head to listen to the training, her anger also dissipated a little, and then she got down to business, "Zhu'er is not in good health, and the girl in your room really doesn't look like it." Ming'er sent them out and married them on their own, and you prepared a dowry, so as not to let people say that we were mean. ”

Li Yunmu, she heard it right, right? Is this what her mother-in-law would say?

"Didn't you hear?" Mrs. Wang turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and raised her eyebrows.

Li Kun hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

"Understood, let's go back." Mrs. Wang smiled kindly, "I'll hand over Zhu'er to you, if you miss something, you can just send someone to find me, or go to find Feng Yatou." ”

Now in the Rongguo Mansion, the eldest lord Jia Yu's family is still living in the original place and has not moved, so that the second lord Jia Zheng has been living with Jia's mother. Before Jia pardon. also deliberately opened a gate, and did not enter or exit the main gate of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Mu couldn't control him, so she simply let him go, and refused to pay attention to him anymore. When Jia Baoyu was not born before, Jia's mother would ask Jia Lian from time to time, but since Jia Lian got married, plus Jia Baoyu was born, and after Yuanchun entered the palace, the remaining three girls in the two mansions were all raised by Jia's mother. She gradually stopped asking about Jia Lian.

The affairs of Rongguo's mansion have always been managed by Mrs. Wang, but in recent years, she has been pushing them out on the grounds that she is not in good health. Jia's mother ordered Jia Lian's daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng to be in charge, and it was Jia Zhu's wife Li Kun, in addition to her husband and children, she took a few girls to make needle money, just talk and laugh. The old lady was right to do this. Although Jia Zheng and Jia's mother live together now, the title of the family is still attacked by Jia Yu, and Mrs. Xing should be in charge. But Jia's mother thought that she was from a small family, and she was not generous. I don't look down on Jia Yu and refuse to let her be in charge of the house. When it comes to Wang Xifeng, people will be cool and powerful. There are still many eyes, plus she is very good at flattering the old lady, since she got married. Except for Baoyu, the rest of the people retreated one stone's throw in front of Jia Mu. She is the daughter-in-law of the long house, and it is best for her to take care of the house.

Li Kun is not without ideas in his heart, but he also knows that he is not as good as Sister Feng in all aspects, his mentality is quite peaceful, and he is quite harmonious with her. She heard what Mrs. Wang said, and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law knows, but now the uncle is not comfortable, and his appetite is not very good, and he eats very little every day, and he doesn't listen to me no matter how much I persuade him." ”

Mrs. Wang changed color and said, "Why didn't you come to tell me earlier." ”

"Uncle won't let me tell my wife." Li Kun lowered her head slightly, how dare she say that during this time, she has always been accompanied by Su Yue, the girl who is the most favored by Jia Zhu, and even when she passed, she refused to let people leave.

Mrs. Wang stabilized her temper, looking at her daughter-in-law's expression, coupled with the indignation in her tone when she beckoned Zhi'er to come over to speak, she probably guessed something. Mrs. Wang, who hated such fox sons the most in her life, was interested in her husband's proposal. The Buddha beads in her hand turned quickly, but her tone was not in a hurry, "You go back and look at those girls, and don't allow them to get close to Zhu'er." I replied to the old lady tomorrow and sent them out. ”

"Yes." Li Kun hung his head.

Jia Zheng came back from the yamen that day, first went to Jia's mother's house, waited for the girl to report, entered the house to greet the ceremony, and then sat down. He looked at the girl in the house, Jia Mu understood, and waved her hand: "You all go down." ”

When everyone went out, Jia Zheng considered his mouth and told Jia Mu about Lin Ruhai and Jia Zhu. During the conversation, he also looked at Jia Mu's expression carefully.

Mother Jia leaned on the pillow, her expression was faint, she couldn't distinguish joy and anger, and after Jia Zheng finished speaking, she said: "Since my aunt is unwilling, let the girls come back." She asked Mrs. Wang to press Lin Ruhai's maiden before, because she was worried that her son-in-law would leave her daughter and regain her thoughts. If they are hooked by a goblin who doesn't know the bottom of their hearts, won't they be separated from each other. That's why she asked her daughter-in-law to find two well-born girls at home and send them to the guest house. is just thinking that the two girls are both born to the family, and the lives of the family are in the hands of the master, and they can't afford to make waves.

However, since the son-in-law is willing to guard his daughter, it is no better, and it is too late for her to be happy, where will she stand in the way.

"As for Zhu'er, because his body is not very strong, and the girl of Onyx is gentle and careful, I will send her over. Since she can't take care of her master, she will send it out. It's just that she always served Zhu'er and gave her a good dowry, so as not to make people say that we were mean. ”

Jia Zheng didn't expect Jia's mother to be so easy to talk here, so he quickly got up and said, "Yes, my son wrote it down, and I will tell my daughter-in-law when I go back." He originally thought that he would sit down and chat with Jia's mother again, but he didn't want Jia's mother to drive him directly: "If you have something to do, you can go busy, I have food and drink here, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Jia Zheng couldn't, got up and saluted, and then slowly retreated.

As soon as Jia Zheng left, Baoyu came out of the blue yarn cupboard, looking relieved. Mother Jia pretended to be angry and said: "If you are lazy and don't go to school, you know that you want to beat you, I don't care." ”

"The old lady loves me the most." Baoyu threw herself into her arms, rolling around coquettishly, until Jia Mu laughed, hugged him and smiled: "Your old man asked you to study, it is also for your own good, don't be lazy in the future." Next time you're lazy, I'm going to get angry. ”

Baoyu was unhappy, twisted her body and didn't follow, grinding Jia's mother to the point that she couldn't do anything, and patted him: "Hurry up, I can't stand you like this." ”

Here Baoyu and Jia's mother were coquettish, which made Jia's mother laugh, and at some point, the topic turned to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, "Old lady, I heard that in addition to my cousin, my aunt's family has a cousin?" ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Yes, she is one year younger than you, and she only had it after your aunt went to Jiangnan." Speaking of this, Jia Mu sighed, "I haven't seen her either, but looking at Brother Rui'er's appearance, Daiyu won't be wrong." ”

When Lin Rui entered the capital last year, he also lived in Jia's mansion, Jia Baoyu was shocked at first sight, and felt that he was a mud pig and a leper dog in front of this cousin, and he hated that he didn't know him and couldn't get close.

Lin Rui thought of his cousin who had never met before, who should be a fairy figure such as Bao, and Baoyu longed for it.

"When will my aunt and cousin come to our house?" Baoyu was lazy beside Jia's mother, and said: "The old lady should not have seen her aunt for a long time, so take your aunt and cousin over to play." ”

Of course, Mother Jia also wants her daughter, but she also knows that unless Lin Ruhai is transferred back to the court, her daughter will not be able to come back. But her heart was sharp, and she grinded her vigorously, so she had to hug Baoyu and coax him: "Your cousin will get married next year, and your aunt will definitely come back then." ”

When Baoyu heard this, she was full of joy, counting the days and counting when her aunt would come.

Lin Ruhai entered the palace this day, talked with Xiao Jin secretly, and finally could return to Yangzhou.

Before leaving, he talked with Jia Yu and Jia Zhengcheng again, and then said goodbye to everyone and embarked on the way home.

The three mothers and daughters in Yangzhou, not to mention Jia Min, have not been separated from her husband for such a long time since Lin Hou died, even Daiyu has never seen her father for such a long time. In the past few days, she often asks about Lin Ruhai, but she can't ask her mother, so she can only grind her brother.

Lin Rui loved her very much and coaxed her: "Last time I received a letter from my father, saying that I was about to set off. Calculate the time, at most there will be ten or so days, and you will be home. (To be continued......)
