When Jia Qiang returned to the guest house from the front hall and saw the Feng family again, this poor and pitiful old woman was lying on a soft couch and weeping.

Zijuan quietly stepped forward and told him that Feng had passed out from crying twice.

Jia Qiang could imagine what kind of heart-rending cry Feng would break out after seeing Xiangling recognize each other.

Just look at the slightly red and swollen eyes of Daiyu, Aunt Mei, Zijuan, Snow Goose and others, and you can know how sad Fang Cai's situation is.

"The old woman kowtows to the uncle to thank you!"

Seeing Jia Qiang coming in, Feng struggled to get up and kowtow to him.

Jia Qiang waved her hand to stop, glanced at Xiangling, who was still crying, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing for families to reunite, why are you crying?" ”

Xiangling raised her head and looked at Jia Qiang helplessly.

Jia Qiang understood her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your mother has suffered so much and suffered so many sins over the years, and now that she has found you, she should enjoy happiness in the future." Our family is thin, so let's leave her at home, and you can take care of it from time to time, and I will do my filial piety. ”

When Xiangling heard this, she was moved to "woo" even louder.

Although she is coquettish, she is not unreasonable.

It's not that there is no one in this world who lives with the Yue family and supports the Yue family, but this kind of situation is very rare, let alone supporting the concubine and the old lady?

You don't see, Zhao Guoji, the sibling brother of Aunt Zhao, the beloved concubine of Master Jia's housekeeping, is just a slave who drives the carriage for Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao's son.

If you can do Jia Qiang's step, you must have hurt her so much.

It's just that she was moved, but Feng couldn't respond, because she was worried that her daughter would be affected, Feng struggled to get up and said anxiously: "Don't be like this, can't be like this, there is no such reason in the world, as long as the uncle can hurt Yinglian more, I will live a very good life, I will live a very good life!" ”

Jia Qiang waved her hand and smiled: "You don't have to worry about the superfluous, my family has a simple population, and the elders who can manage me are also lenient and kind, and they won't say anything." ”

Feng's just shouldn't, after Daiyu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, she forced a smile and said: "Brother Qiang doesn't have to be difficult for her, it's better to recruit into the house in the name of a grandmother, and be responsible for the food and clothing of Xiangling." In this way, isn't it cheaper to have two sides? ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she agreed and praised: "It's still Aunt Lin's idea, it's a good idea!" ”

"Phew!"

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Daiyu spat out, glared at him and asked, "Why are you so happy today?" ”

On weekdays, Jia Qiang is rarely so naïve in front of people.

Jia Qiang can't say that your father sent me two peerless masters, and the security has greatly increased.

He only said: "Things are going well outside, Xiangling has found her mother again, everything is happy, how can you not be happy?" ”

Daiyu didn't believe it, but in front of outsiders, she didn't say much, so she only sneered twice......

Jia Qiang was also used to it, and said to Aunt Mei, who had been secretly waiting for Xin'er: "I will go to find Master Chen in a while, and I will only take care of him in prison, which is not a difficult task." ”

Aunt Mei was overjoyed, she didn't want to express her gratitude to Jia Qiang, so she repeatedly told Xiangling to let the Feng family live in this guest house, and she would be prepared for food and clothing, and asked her not to go outside.

After a few more gossips, Aunt Mei also left.

The New Year is approaching, and she, the housekeeper and aunt, has a lot of things to do, so she can't delay it for too long.

Not long after Aunt Mei left, Daiyu said to Jia Qiang: "Let's go too, let Xiangling and her mother get along more." ”

Even though Feng's heart-rending cry made Xiangling let go of some heart knots, she could be separated for too long, and she was always a little rusty.

So Daiyu Fang has this to say.

Jia Qiang had nothing to do, and after appeasing Xiangling for a few more words, she left the guest house with Daiyu, Zijuan, and Snow Goose.

"Brother Qiang, Ming'er's father will send someone to send a New Year's gift to Beijing, what do you want to bring?"

Walking quietly on the verandah, Daiyu and Jia Qiang walked together, the purple cuckoo and the snow goose behind, although it was winter, the green bamboo on both sides of the verandah was still green, and after walking in silence for a while, Daiyu suddenly looked at Jia Qiang and asked softly.

Hearing this, Jia Qiang paused, hesitated for a while, and then shook her head and said, "No need, right?" It's not that you don't know my situation, and there is no one to send. My uncle and them, it's not good for Aunt Lao and grand-uncle to send someone to run alone, forget it......"

Daiyu said angrily: "This is a bastard!" What do you mean that no one can give? If you don't give it to others, don't you give it a New Year's gift to the old lady? ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she said suspiciously: "Old lady? Is she so good to me? ”

"Poof!"

Hearing this, the purple cuckoo and snow goose behind them couldn't help laughing.

Dai Yuqi's face turned a little red, and she was a little annoyed: "The old lady treats you badly? The big lord scolded you, didn't the old lady protect you? Besides, if it weren't for the old lady, you would be here now? You also said before that it was your luck to come to Yangzhou Mansion, and it was coaxing to dare to love! ”

After Jia Qiang was speechless for a long time, she said six words with difficulty: "I'm really speechless!" ”

"Humph!"

Seeing that he had ambushed her, Daiyu was a little proud, and said, "It's good to know that you are speechless...... Hey, weird, what kind of face are you? How is it dusty...... Am I not right? ”

Jia Qiang couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Yes, yes...... However, the old lady was afraid that I would cause trouble for her, and delay her happiness and tranquility...... But Aunt Lin is more right, I should thank her, it's not good not to thank her. ”

Seeing that Daiyu's little face had changed again, Jia Qiang decisively changed her tone.

Daiyu glanced at him, but softened again, and said softly: "It's not that I persuade you to do what you don't want to do, it's just that as long as the old lady is good to you at home, other people won't be able to bully you anymore." ”

If she wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to handle himself when he went back, why did she bother thinking about this......

When Jia Qiang heard this, she smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, don't you know me?" After I go back, I will definitely not live in Lixiangyuan, I want to go to the city to buy a small village to live, read, write, and be busy with some other chores, every once in a while to go back to the city, to the Lin Mansion to ask my aunt and aunt Lin for knowledge, it is enough. I will not covet their riches, neither will they be able to do anything to my head. If there is someone who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, I won't save his face. ”

When Daiyu heard this, she was stunned for a while before she said slowly: "If that's the case...... Then you will ...... in the future."

Even the clan is intolerable, how can it be tolerated in the world?

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said with a smile: "If I mess around in the officialdom, I am naturally afraid that they will pull back their legs behind their backs." If you find a few gossip clearers and make a noise, I can't get off the stage if I can be impeached. Life and death are in their hands...... But I'm not in officialdom. The grass people are one and the people are scattered, what are they bullying me? It is true that the Jia family has an officialdom relationship, but it is a huge Shenjing City, and one or two national mansions cannot cover the sky with one hand. In short, Aunt Lin doesn't have to worry about my situation. ”

Daiyu heard that although according to the rules of etiquette, Jia Qiang's words can be called a great rebellion, and she is the rebellious son and grandson of the Jia family, but for some reason, she did not have a trace of disgust in her heart, but was a little envious of him living so complacent and so free.

Seeing that the road ahead was about to fork in the road, Daiyu paused, looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "If it is really difficult, you don't want to be too troublesome and arrogant, and refuse to ask my father for help." You've helped my family a lot, and my father and I have it in mind. ”

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Definitely! ”

After the two looked at each other for a while, one to the south and the other to the north, they parted ways along the verandah.

A cold wind swept up a few yellowed fallen leaves and danced in the world......

……

Above the canal, inside a passenger ship.

The eldest master of the second room of the Mei family, Mei Zhen, the prefect of Gusu from Hanlin, and his son Mei Huai had a solemn face, and opposite the father and son of the Mei family, sitting was a middle-aged man wrapped in a thick fur coat with a white complexion, and next to the middle-aged man, a young man looked at him worriedly.

Seeing this, Mei Zhen sighed and said: "I never thought that Brother Junli's body and bones would reach this point, if I knew this, it would not be good to alarm you." ”

The "Brother Junli" in Mei Zhen's mouth is Xue Ming, the head of the second room of the Xue family in Jinling, and the young man next to Xue Ming is his son Xue Zhen.

Xue Ming smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, Brother Gongren and I have been friends for many years, and now that such things have happened in the clan, there is something I can contribute, so it is naturally incumbent on me." I'm just worried that I'm not going to be able to please anything good with my thin noodles. ”

When Mei Zhen heard this, her frowning brows deepened a little, and she said slowly: "It is rumored in Jiangnan that the son of the Jia family is a good minister, and the white-clothed saint is driving, and there is a storm on the ground, stirring the wind and clouds in the capital, and the mountain collapses and cracks. Originally, I only thought it was a rumor, and I didn't want this good minister to enter the south of the Yangtze River, as soon as he appeared, he was tired of the Mei and Feng families. This son is really terrifying. ”

When Xue Ming heard this, he coughed twice and said softly: "Brother Gongren, I'm afraid that some rumors have exaggerated this matter. He has a white body, how can he be so powerful? I have also heard some in Jiangning, but most of them are rumored that it was the Duke of Banshan who used this knife sharpened by the Emperor Taishang to cut open the inner abdomen of Jiangnan, as his first fire in charge of Liangjiang. I thought there was some truth to that. ”

Mei Zhen said in a deep voice: "Brother Junli, why don't I know the deep meaning behind it? But if there is no such son, even Han Bin will not be able to easily raid his family and take people, right? He was in the capital, because he denied the ruling power at the end of the early Jing Dynasty, and deposed Jiangnan for the crime of disobeying the emperor. The Mei family and the Feng family are all old men who took over the drive during the Emperor's several southern tours, and without the knife that the Emperor Taishang personally sharpened, even if he is a well-known Banshan Gong, he will not dare to provoke again. So, the crux of the problem is here after all. Han Banshan is the spear of the Emperor Tai to kill the shield of the Emperor. ”

When Xue Ming heard this, he thought carefully for a long time, and then sighed: "Even if this is the case, what can it do? ”

Mei Zhen said: "Brother Junli, the Xue family and the Jia family are relatives for many generations, and I heard that the Xue family's big house is now a guest in the Jia family. With this origin, Brother Junli, you come forward, and it is always difficult for Jia Jiazi to refuse. Moreover, that Yan Zheng Lin Ruhai is Rong Guogong's son-in-law and the aunt of the Jia family. The Duchess of the Jia family, who is now in charge, is a sister to the mother of the Xue family's big house, and I have an appointment with Brother Junli to have an heir, and my cousin is still Lin Ruhai's concubine...... All the things count, everyone is a relative! Why do you have to kill them all?

This time, I have to bother Brother Junli to help me intercede. I don't want the Mei family to be safe, the Mei family runs the salt industry, and there must be unruly children. The arrest that should be caught, the exile that should be exiled, and the beheading that should be decapitated, the Mei family has no other words. But isn't it really to the point of being slashed all over the place? My Mei family has Mr. Fu Weng, who is famous all over the world, that is, the emperor and today's son love his words deeply, why can't he leave a piece of Wenmo Hanxiang? ”

When Xue Ming heard this, after being silent for a while, he coughed dryly and covered his mouth with a handkerchief: "Gongren, I'll do my best." ”
