determined Jia's mother's attitude towards Du Qiuniang, and Jia Baoyu no longer asked too much, so as not to arouse their hostility and vigilance.

Anyway, people are in Rongqing Hall, just a stone's throw away.

Subsequently, Jia Mu and the others naturally asked about Jia Baoyu's experience in the south as usual. They have been living in seclusion in the deep house, and they seem to never get tired of hearing about Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu also said it simply.

He had no intention of showing off in front of Jia Mu and the others, so he said it very plainly, and the thrilling scene was not mentioned at all.

But the more this is the case, the more extraordinary the people who have long known about his "whereabouts".

People who brag about their achievements and those who are still humble, in the eyes of others, are at different levels.

Jia Mu and the others were a little emotional, but Sanchun and Baochai looked at Jia Baoyu with burning eyes, with a little reverence in their eyes.

made earth-shattering events in a silent place, and looked back without mentioning the heroes of the past.

This is a real man.

Jia Baoyu looked at the color on his face, but when he found that the sisters were staring at the little star's eyes, he was still very useful in his heart.

Mrs. Wang said: "I heard the girl you brought back before, you told her that if you are knighted according to your merits this time, can there be such a thing?" ”

"Uh, that's what she said?"

Jia Baoyu was slightly embarrassed, he did say this to Du Qiuniang.

Although he is humble everywhere, he is a man, and his temperament is somewhat flamboyant.

Especially, when the beauty is in her arms

Once, she was quite happy to be served by Du Qiuniang, and when she asked, Jia Baoyu bragged in her ear for a while, and said that maybe there would be a chance for her to be a noble lady in the future.

I didn't mean to be so shy at the time, but Du Qiuniang, who falsely said that she was not qualified and didn't need it, wrote it down.

In fact, Jia Baoyu is not boasting, his merits, according to the old system, have indeed reached the height of knighthood.

It's just that the Jia family already has two titles, and there is almost no possibility of being knighted again.

How does Du Qiuniang know this?

It stands to reason that Mrs. Wang should know this

Seeing Jia Baoyu's hesitation, Mrs. Wang's eyebrows sank: "Could it be that she is lying?" ”

"No, I did say it to her, but it was a joke.

Our family already has two hereditary titles.

If the court gives me another title, the Jia family will have three titles.

Those civil officials who have been officials all their lives and can't get knighthoods still don't jump their feet?

And it doesn't look good, this duke and uncle male fifth-class title seems to be customized for our Jia family, just waiting for our family to take it one by one. ”

Jia Baoyu said wittily, and there were many people in the hall who laughed.

But there are also many people who have voiced regret.

One door and three lords, what a glory, but unfortunately, listening to the tone of Jia Baoyu, it seems that it can't be done.

Madame Wang took a deep breath.

She didn't know this truth, she just asked with a hopeful mentality before.

The title is not as good as the official position, and the grade is promoted very quickly, as long as Jia Baoyu can be promoted to the viscount, even if it is the lowest viscount, it is still a grade.

Correspondingly, she has become a fate.

pity

In this way, it seems that the two titles in the family are hindering his son's future!

It's only his grandfather who blames him, since he passed on the family business to his father back then, why did he separate the title and pass it on to his uncle?

Now not only is the pattern of Rongguo Mansion weird, but also Baoyu is clamped

People are selfish, but she doesn't want to, if according to the saying that the elders do not pass on the young, even the family business of Rongguo Mansion should be pardoned.

Now it is the preference of Mother Jia and Grandpa Laoguo.

But Mrs. Wang wouldn't think so.

She glanced at Wang Xifeng again.

If Lian'er can't give birth to a son, when his uncle goes, maybe he can try to get the title back

Mrs. Wang's thoughts, others naturally don't know.

Although Jia Mu felt a little regretful, her position was different.

She is already the Duchess of the country, no matter who in the family attacks the knight, do you dare not be filial to her?

So she didn't care much.

"Since that's the case, then the court should make you an official? You're only so old, you're going to be an official, like your father, and you're going to get up and go to the early court in the future? ”

Jia Mu doesn't seem to want Jia Baoyu to be an official, at least not now.

She also wants to tease her grandson for a few more years.

"Should"

Jia Baoyu just wanted to follow Jia's mother's words, but suddenly reacted, patted his thigh and said:

"I almost couldn't keep my mouth shut again. I just bragged casually before, and it reached the ears of your ancestors, if I brag about it again, maybe even the emperor will know about it in the early Ming Dynasty.

If his old man felt that his grandson was not stable enough for a while, and crossed out my name in the merit book, how wronged would his grandson be? ”

"Puff~"

But it was Qin who couldn't help laughing. Seeing that everyone looked at her, she quickly covered her mouth and showed an apologetic smile.

Jia Baoyu also glanced at her, and then said: "So, Sun Er still doesn't talk about it, anyway, Ming'er will know at the latest." Well, I'm not in a hurry at all. ”

"Hahaha, okay, don't say it, I won't ask. If it's really because of the curiosity of the old woman, and finally your hard work in the past six months has been in vain, then you still don't blame me to death? ”

Jia Mu laughed happily, and then said to the surroundings: "Okay, don't ask, otherwise if he doesn't have any merit, the court won't give him a reward, and in the end, it will be blamed on us, saying that we mistook him!" ”

"What the ancestor said is extremely true."

After some laughter, Jia Mu finally remembered that Jia Baoyu had just come back today, and she should let him go back to rest earlier, and then let everyone disperse.

Everyone has been waiting here since noon, and they really feel tired, so they don't stay, and they all go back separately.

Jia Baoyu saw that Aunt Xue was going to leave with Baochai, so she said, "Sister Bao, go and sit in my house." ”

Wang Xifeng, who was about to walk out of the door, turned around when he heard this, and just as he was about to speak, he was stunned for a moment when he was glanced at by Baochai's unangry and arrogant eyes.

Baochai said: "You have traveled thousands of miles, Ming'er has to go to court early, just rest well, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow's night." ”

After saying that, he was slightly blessed, and left with Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

Wang Xifeng was bored and left.

Sanchun and the others were waiting for Jia Baoyu to play with him, but when they heard Baochai's words, they all hesitated.

Jia Baoyu pulled them over and said, "Let's go, I brought gifts for all of you, go and take a look." ”

The Sanchun sisters also came to Jia Baoyu's house half-pushed and half-pushed.

In this era, when my brother and sister go out, they must bring gifts to their younger brothers and sisters when they come back.

It doesn't have to be precious, but it's a sign of love.

Jia Baoyu naturally will not forget.

Early in the morning, I asked Du Qiuniang to pick out a few things that the girl likes and brought them back.

Those gifts were all brought by Du Qiuniang's master and servant.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu had a legitimate reason to take a look at Du Qiuniang's master and servant.

The maids in Rongqing Hall naturally did not dare to disobey Jia Baoyu's orders. Moreover, Jia's mother just placed Du Qiuniang in the backyard, and didn't say that she wouldn't let Jia Baoyu take a look.

So as soon as Jia Baoyu asked, the maid told her.

Tan Chunyin said with a smile: "I see where the second brother wants to send us gifts, obviously using this excuse to see that Du girl!" ”

Jia Baoyu pinched her face: "You're smart!" ”

Then he said: "Remember, I will call Sister Du in the future, she is older than all of you." ”

Tanchun touched his face, a little unconvinced. suddenly smiled and continued: "Oh, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to call her sister, let's just call her Aunt Bao, or call her a good sister-in-law?" ”

Jia Baoyu turned his head and looked at this sister who was constantly finding fault.

Tanchun hurriedly took a step back, pulled Yingchun's body, and made a gesture of using Yingchun as a shield defense at any time.

"It's good that the third sister is happy." Jia Baoyu pursed her lips, indicating that she didn't care what she called at all.
