"Except for the Confucian Princess, what do the others mean?"

Jia Baoyu knew that there must be other circumstances, otherwise Mrs. Wang would not have reacted like this.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang said a little faintly: "In addition to you acting for the Confucian master, there are also people who elect the eldest master to be the patriarch." ”

Jia pardon.

Also, as soon as Jia Jing died, the tooth order of the third generation of the Jia family, Jia Yu, was indeed the largest.

is also the heir to the title of Duke Rongguo, and he is indeed qualified to be the patriarch.

It's just that......

"The eldest lord has never liked to pay attention to mundane affairs, and he doesn't even do it, why is he interested in the position of this patriarch? Or is it just a bystander's recommendation? ”

Mrs. Wang's face was slightly condensed, and she looked at Jia Baoyu: "I heard people in the clan say that the eldest master means that when he becomes the patriarch, he will tear down the two walls between the two mansions and connect the ancestral hall with his east cross courtyard, so that there is no need to move the ancestral hall out." That's why some people think it's good......"

Jia Baoyu understood.

It turned out that it was not Jia Yu's sudden rise in responsibility, but that he took a fancy to the site of the ancestral hall!

Also, the original Jia Amnesty House only accounted for about one-sixth of the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zheng and Jia Mu accounted for five-sixths.

Since the establishment of the Grand View Garden, the Rongguo Mansion has shrunk significantly, and it is estimated that it is two or three times larger than the Jia Amnesty Courtyard...... Of course, the Grand View Garden is still under the management of Jia Zheng.

But if Jia Yu once included the Jia clan ancestral hall into his territory, then he would be foreign, and the size would not be much worse than that of Rongguo Mansion.

As a result, the original Ningrong two Guogong Mansions were divided into four major parts.

The Grand View Garden in the back, the Rongguo Mansion on the left, the Earl's Mansion of Jia Baoyu on the right, and the territory of Jia Yu in the middle.

The point is that in addition to the Grand View Garden, the other three places are not far apart, and Jia Yu can also get rid of the embarrassing situation for a long time in one fell swoop!

Well, think about it from another perspective, if he is Jia Yu, he is also willing to do this business.

It's just that they seem to have forgotten that the Jia clan ancestral hall is in his earl's mansion, even if he is not the patriarch, that piece of land is also his, if he is unwilling, who can divide it?

Grabbing the land and grabbing him? Don't they know that he also "grabbed" this chassis......

In fact, Jia Baoyu is not such a calculating person, if Jia Yu is really a responsible person, and can do the patriarch's job well, it is not impossible to fulfill him.

It's just that, apparently he's not, he's just trying to expand his territory and fight for a decent place.

By the way, being the patriarch can also take advantage of the situation to manage the sacrificial fields in the clan, although it is not too much, but it can be regarded as a piece of fat.

Such a person made him the patriarch, but I am afraid that in the future, the Jia family itself will have countless more incidents!

There is another one, looking at Mrs. Wang's solemn face, Jia Baoyu also knows that Mrs. Wang definitely doesn't want Jia Yu's calculation to be achieved.

How much effort did she and Jia Zheng spend on back then, and how long did it take to squeeze Jia Yu into the corner of the East Cross Courtyard, how could she tolerate Jia Yu rising again?

Or do you turn over by stepping on her son?

I can't get over that hurdle in my heart.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu felt a little funny inexplicably, so he said to Mrs. Wang: "Don't worry, Mrs., there is a son, and no one will knock on the two walls between the two mansions." ”

Mrs. Wang was surprised: "So, you want to be the patriarch?" ”

Jia Baoyu shrugged slightly: "If you can't find a suitable person in the clan, only your son will go into battle in person." ”

Indeed, instead of handing over the position of patriarch to an unreliable person, it is better to hold it in your hands and avoid being hindered.

In fact, if it were Jia Dairu, Jia Baoyu would be willing to hand over the ancestral hall and sacrificial fields to him for management.

It's a pity that Jia Dairu has a high seniority, but his identity is not enough, or it is not suitable.

And himself, although his seniority is a little worse, but his identity is sufficient, and the most important thing is that the ancestral hall is in his earl's palace, and he succeeds him as the patriarch, although it is not how logical it is, but Jia Yu can't compete with him......

After Mrs. Wang heard Jia Baoyu's meaning, the solemn color on her face faded, but she suddenly became worried again:

"You yourself are leading the errand in the palace, and you are also in charge of the affairs of the Jingshi Health Hall, these two things are not light, will you be tired with another patriarch on your body?"

Feeling too sorry for her son is a common problem for every mother.

Jia Baoyu smiled: "It's okay, who called his son a hard worker?" However, I really can't be busy in the future, and I have to ask my wife to help my son watch the affairs of this clan. ”

When Jia Baoyu said this, he was purely coaxing Mrs. Wang to be happy.

"Okay, I'll watch it for you."

As Jia Baoyu thought, she really didn't want to watch Jia Yu "sit big".

Therefore, for Jia Baoyu's decision, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but take Jia Baoyu in her arms again and caress her.

"Ahem, if that lady has nothing else to do, I'll leave first, and I still have something to deal with."

In the end, Jia Baoyu still couldn't bear Mrs. Wang's doting, and got up to say goodbye.

"Okay, you go back and rest early. Jin Chuan Yu Chuan, you two send Baoyu back, although the moon is big outside tonight, don't be careless, shine the lantern in front of you, don't let Baoyu fall......"

With Mrs. Wang's advice, Jia Baoyu went out of Mrs. Wang's house.

Jia's mother had gone to bed at this time, so Jia Baoyu did not go to Rongqing Hall, and was ready to go back to the garden to have a look.

"Hehe, the second master was just told by his wife, who told you to go to that kind of place!

The second master didn't know, at dusk today, those little wives spread all over the place, saying that the second master went to the Qinglou to earn a lot of silver and came back, but it was amazing......"

Jin Chuan is a lively and cheerful character, as one of the big girls in Mrs. Wang's house, he has long been familiar with Jia Baoyu.

While carrying a lantern to light the way, she paced to Jia Baoyu's side, chattering.

From her words, Jia Baoyu finally knew why Mrs. Wang knew that she went to the Qinglou.

It turned out that when the little maids escorted the money he raised in the Qianjin Pavilion back to the health hall, because the little ones were not sealed, and there were already many mothers-in-law of the Jia family working in the health hall.

So within half an hour, his whereabouts were naturally exposed.

Fortunately, there is a custom in the house, this kind of "bad" thing is not allowed to be said in Jia Mu's ear, otherwise, Jia Mu will probably find him tonight and say:

Okay, you cunning, I have a good maid for you, I have a beautiful girl for you, and I have a beautiful girl who also told you, and even my own granddaughter has promised to give it to you, and you are still not satisfied, and you still run to those dirty and smelly places?

Is it difficult, you also have to learn from your second brother?

Shaking his head, Jia Baoyu knocked Jin Chuan on the head with a smile.

How did the little girl speak, he went to the Qinglou to earn money, why did it sound awkward......

Maybe the little girl has the nature to dare to open a dye shop if she gives three colors, and the happy Jin Chuan who was talking about it was knocked by Jia Baoyu, and she was not convinced, so she actually scratched Jia Baoyu with her backhand.

She just relied on Jia Baoyu to be approachable, and there was no one else at this time, so she was like this.

What is this called, well, pampered and proud.

Jia Baoyu stopped and looked back at her.

Jin Chuan knew that he was afraid at this time, and quietly took a step back.

"Huh." Jia Baoyu smiled slightly, and suddenly reached out and hugged her upright, causing her to scream "babbling".

"What is the crime of committing the following crimes?"

With just one sentence, Jia Baoyu fixed the Jin Chuan that was dancing on his shoulders and shaved on his head.

Then she blushed and said, "The second master is a scoundrel, let me go quickly!" ”

Jia Baoyu didn't let go.

When the moon is in the sky, the quiet courtyard of the deep house is a good place to tease the maid.

"Then you can call back."

Jin Chuan thought that Jia Baoyu was really angry, and he didn't dare to struggle, let alone shout, in case he recruited the mother-in-law who was patrolling the night, it would be even worse.

It's just a little aggrieved and a little excited.

The second master shouldn't want that person, but Yu Chuan is still beside him.

"Of course you have to call back."

Jia Baoyu said with a smile, but did not make a move, but took the lantern in her hand, then looked up at her delicate face, and then said, "You wiped the rouge newly?" ”

Through the light of the fire, you can see the bright rouge reflecting the translucent brilliance on the lips of the beauty.

Jin Chuan tilted her head, so she wouldn't say that she saw Jia Baoyu coming over and went back to the house to wipe it......

Jia Baoyu looked at it, and for a while he really had the idea of tasting rouge.

But in the end, I just kissed her round face, well, fragrant, good.

"That's a punishment."

Smiling, he put the blushing maid down and returned the lantern to her.

That's it, Jin Chuan is Mrs. Wang's personal maid, and he doesn't want to go too far.

"Remember, in the future, in the wife's house, don't rub such a thick rouge."

A young maid is always youthful and restless. In fact, after being by Mrs. Wang's side for so many years, Jin Chuan should know that Mrs. Wang doesn't like people with heavy makeup.

"Humph! It's not rubbed for you, and besides, the second master has a strong smell of rouge, and I don't know what bad things he did outside. ”

Jin Chuan misunderstood what Jia Baoyu meant.

Why, can't the maid rub the rouge freshly?

That's why she sneered at each other like this.

Jia Baoyu subconsciously sniffed his sleeves, didn't he feel any smell?

Besides, if there really is, Mrs. Wang should also know.

Ignoring the maid anymore, Jia Baoyu turned to look at Yu Chuan who was bowing his head next to him.

Well, my sister, I shouldn't report her sister......

Raised her feet and walked two steps, Jia Baoyu was still not at ease, turned around and hugged her and kissed her in Yu Chuan's frightened expression.

Well, that's all it takes.
