On the Hall of Honor.

The sisters did not come out, only Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue were entertaining.

In addition to Zhen Yuhuan, there are also four grandmothers in Zhao Guogong's Mansion.

The girl who was gentle and quiet that day, goodbye today, has become a woman.

After Jia Qiang and Sister Feng came in one after the other, Jia's mother said angrily: "What are you discussing, it's been so late, and you've been slow to slack off your guests!" ”

Zhen Yuhuan, who had already stood up when she saw Jia Qiang coming in, greeted Jia Qiang Fuli: "I haven't seen you for a year, Hou Ye is fine." ”

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "The second aunt is outside, when she passed through Huaiyin in the south that day, she met Mrs. Zhen and got good treatment, so that she could meet with family etiquette." This year, the second aunt entered Beijing to get married, and I didn't return on the big day, and I missed the auspicious day, which was not mine. was supposed to come to the door in person to congratulate him, but later there were some small conflicts with Jiang Lin, and he was delayed, and he was worried that coming to the door rashly would cause inconvenience to the second aunt. Unexpectedly, letting my second aunt come to the door first really embarrassed. I also hope that the second aunt will look at the past, and don't mention the word Hou Ye again. ”

On that day, Mrs. Li invited the relatives of the Zhen family to come to meet him, so that he and the Zhen family sisters could meet as uncles and nephews.

Since there was no retort that day, now that he took the initiative to change his words, it was a little different, so it didn't hurt for Jia Qiang to admit a junior.

Of course, Zhen Yuhuan is Zhen Yuhuan, and the Jiang family is the Jiang family.

Zhen Yuhuan is a very wise person, and said with a gentle smile: "If this is the case, the title of aunt will also be abandoned." The old man in the family often praises Brother Qiang, saying that you are a young hero, and he always says that you and my husband are all young people, but he is far inferior to you. In this case, from the Jiang family, Brother Qiang praised her sister. ”

Jia Qiang was as kind as she flowed, and said with a smile: "Since the second sister is reluctant to give a meeting gift, then the aunt's words will naturally stop, and it is better to call her sister." As for Zhao Guogong, will he praise me? Hehe, he's afraid that Tian'er will scold me at home, right? ”

Zhen Yuhuan hurriedly said: "If there is really no such thing, although the ancestor often scolds people at home, he praises Lin Shilang and Brother Qiang. ”

Jia Qiangquan believed it, and after letting Zhen Yuhuan sit down again, Fang said to Jia's mother: "The second aunt has fallen into the eyes of money, and if she doesn't give an explanation, she won't let her go at all." I can't beat ......"

"Phew!"

Jia Mu smiled angrily: "There are guests here, and you are also full of nonsense, you are careful!" ”

Jia Qiang didn't pay attention to it, and said to Sister Feng: "Set up a dinner today, make it better, go to Zhen's house that day, Mrs. Tai almost didn't take out the dragon liver and phoenix marrow to entertain me and Sister Lin, and I want to return a banquet today." No matter how much you rush, you can't catch up with the Zhen family, so you have to do your best. ”

Zhen Yuhuan was busy and polite, and Sister Feng was also angry, and complained loudly to Jia Mu and others: "Ancestor, wife, look, this is using me as a girl!" Now Qiang Er is more and more like an uncle! ”

Jia Mu smiled: "You point to others to get rich, don't you have to listen to others?" ”

Mrs. Wang said with concern: "What kind of livelihood does Brother Qiang give you?" ”

Jia Qiang looked at Sister Feng and said, "You say! ”

Sister Feng scolded in her heart, the old lady said that your mother has a leg!

If I say this, I am afraid that I will be sent directly by Jia's mother to the family temple to worship the Buddha.

So he smiled and said: "But it's still his silk cloth, being a second-tier cloth dealer, but it doesn't matter, his things are good, and he can earn silver." Old lady, Mrs. and wait, when I am rich at the end of the year, I will invite you to be a big host! ”

Jia Mu said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Don't take that thing as a serious thing, forget your duty, you be careful." ”

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Then how dare you?" I don't even interfere over there...... They weren't ready to let me take care of it, but they just said that it was okay to take me to make a fortune, but they asked me to be alone. Old lady, guess which one he wants? ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she looked at Jia Qiang suspiciously, and said, "No, it's Ping'er's hooves?" ”

Sister Feng smiled: "It's not her!" He dared to ask for it, Ping'er is now taking Feng'er to help me take care of some trivial things in the East Road Courtyard and here, and she is busier than me every day, if she really wants to go, where can I do it here? ”

Jia Qiang said: "Let Lin Zhixiao's family help you, there are so many fewer people, how can there be so many things?" I really don't have a reliable and capable person over there, and I wanted my aunt's cousin to go, but although my sister is also smart and smart, she still has less contact with people, and she has to learn the rules of Miss Destiny's circle again. I thought about it, so I just gave up, and asked the You family in our house, plus Sister Ping'er next to the second aunt, to come forward and help me support the West Road Courtyard over there. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she thought about it and said, "Let's discuss this matter again, and you can treat the second girl well." Our Jia family and Zhen family are both old relatives and world friends, and you yourself said that you received the favor of Mrs. Tai that day, and today you will invite this host. ”

Jia Qiang was speechless for a long time, and said, "Why do you invite the host in Xifu and ask me to come out with the silver?" ”

Jia Mu and the others all laughed and said, "Who made you rich!" ”

After a naughty laugh, Jia Qiang sat down next to Zhen Yuhuan across a table under the gaze of the four grandmothers of Zhao Guogong's mansion, and asked, "Second sister, the old man of your family is a real old planner. Turn around and turn him, I understand what he means, let him rest assured. ”

The crowd was puzzled by this, and Jia Muqi said, "What do you understand?" ”

Jia Qiang said: "The old ...... of the Jiang family The old man only sent the second sister, but he didn't let Jiang Lin send it, he was telling me that the Jiang family had no intention of being enemies of the Jia family, but he was not afraid of the Jia family, and he had no intention of having a deep friendship with the Jia family. I can let the second sister come, I also want to talk about the past, the Jiang family is a turning page, I want to see the attitude of our Jia family. ”

Mother Jia heard the words and said, "Since they have all become relatives, what are the knots that can't be solved?" Naturally, it's all gone! ”

The Duke of Zhao still has the position of the Duke of Guo, and the next generation is still the Duke of the Kingdom, who has no contact with the Jia family in the past, and where there is a grudge, that is, he beat Xue Pan before, lent out a heavy armor, and almost injured Daiyu.

For Jia's mother, how could she make a mortal enmity with such a family for the sake of the Xue family and a misunderstanding?

Since the other side threw goodwill, the Jia family naturally wanted to continue.

Originally, Zhen Yuhuan didn't quite understand why the old ancestor of the Zhao Guogong Mansion suddenly asked her to visit the Jia family, and she was still nervous.

At this time, when he heard Jia Qiang's words, he suddenly realized, and looked at Jia Qiang with gratitude.

If Jia Qiang really refuses to let go and continues to embarrass the Zhao Guogong Mansion, then her life is bound to be difficult......

The Jiang family scolded Jia Qiang in the Zhao Guogong Mansion as if he was not a human, and he was domineering like a demon king of the world.

Even the dignified old man sent her to bow her head, which can be seen.

Jia Qiang can let go of her hand so easily, Zhen Yuhuan thinks that she has some decency.

And to achieve this goal, she will be able to make a difference when she goes back......

Jia Qiang looked at her and smiled, and asked, "Zhao Guogong, is there anything else to say?" ”

Zhen Yuhuan hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything else...... By the way, there is one more thing, but it is not the business of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, my grandfather asked me that if I have a chance, I can ask Brother Qiang about your Zhen family. I heard that the household department has already sent three documents to the south to recover the shortfall......"

When Jia Qiang heard this, she smiled and said, "The second sister doesn't have to worry about this matter, the Zhen family owes most of the deficit that the Zhen family owes when the Emperor Taishang made his southern tour." The deficit of a few million taels of silver is really appalling. However, later in the early years of Jing, the Emperor Taishang let the Zhen family manage the salt administration for a few years, and most of the salt tax was returned. There is one remaining point, as long as the Zhen family is willing to pay it back, it is not difficult. ”

Of course, it's actually hard......

The Zhen family took over the deficit, and it had already been repaid with the salt tax.

But in the next one or two decades, the Zhen family borrowed a large amount of silver from the household, causing a huge deficit, but these silver were used to supplement the luxurious life of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yingjia is a famous "Zhen Buddha" in Jiangnan, but whenever he asks to go to his door, there is almost no time for people to return empty-handed.

Coupled with the pomp and circumstance of the Zhen family, it is a huge amount of money to welcome and send gifts to each family every year.

Today, the Zhen family has no power to return to heaven.

However, even if it is going to fall, it will have to wait until after the death of the Jiuhua Palace.

Therefore, the Zhen family still has a few years of bright days......

These Jia Qiang didn't plan to tell Zhen Yuhuan, firstly, the relationship was not so close, and secondly, even if they said it, what use would it be?

After gossiping, Jia Qiang said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, why don't you invite the sisters to come out and meet together?" When Sister Lin and I went to Yangzhou, we passed by Huaiyin to meet Mrs. Zhen, and Mrs. Tai thought that the Jia family was a family friend and an old relative, and it should be a good ...... family."

Before she could finish speaking, Jia Mu said angrily: "You not only assigned Brother Feng, but now even I am assigned." Do you still need to talk too much? If you hadn't opened your mouth, their sisters would have come out by now. ”

Saying that, let the mandarin duck who pursed his lips and snickered to call people.

Jia Qiang didn't care either, and smiled at Zhen Yuhuan: "You will see in a while, how similar the Baoyu of the Jia family is to the Baoyu of the Zhen family!" ”

Jia Mu smiled: "How can there be such a coincidence? Everyone and the children are delicate, except for the disability on the face and the very black and ugly, they probably look the same neat, which is not strange. ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "Let the second sister see it later, and I will have my own opinion." ”

Before long, I saw Li Kun leading the sisters of the Jia family out of Xinuan Pavilion.

Zhen Yuhuan's eyes fell on Baoyu in the middle of the sisters for the first time, although she still had a blue nose and swollen face, she still frightened her, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Brother Qiang'er laying an ambush in advance, I would only think that Baoyu came from home, how can I be like ......?"

Jia Mu and others didn't take it to heart, there are so many people in the world who are alike, there is no need to be more serious.

After the sisters met one by one, they chatted for a while, and Zhen Yuhuan got up to leave.

Although Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others persuaded each other several times, Zhen Yuhuan only said that there were too many elders in the family, and the rules were heavy, so it was not good to eat outside alone, and she would come back next time.

Jia Qiang personally sent him out, and when he came back, he saw Jia Mu looking at him strangely, and said, "When you talked about the Zhen family last time, didn't you assert that the Zhen family would fail?" Even Lian'er has warned you, far away from the Zhen family, what kind of famous is it today? ”

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Qiang'er, you are careful, the second girl of the Zhen family is good, but that is the eldest young grandmother of the Zhao Guogong Mansion." ”

Jia Qiang looked at her as if she was neurotic, and then turned back to Jia Mu and said, "Now I can conclude that the Zhen family will be defeated." The Zhen family owes too much to the household department, as high as millions of taels, and it is impossible to pay it back. When the Emperor Taishang was there, he read it in the face of Mrs. Fengsheng, and he could still protect one or two. When the day comes, the Zhen family will be the first to be purged. Old lady, if the day comes, if the Zhen family sends goods to the door, ask the Jia family to keep and hide it on their behalf, but they must not touch it. Whoever gets his hands dirty, whoever is unlucky, the kind of bad luck that robs the family and exterminates the clan!

As for the second girl of the Zhen family, she is no longer the Zhen family. The reason why she treated her well was that when she was in the Zhen family, she treated me and Sister Lin well. Second, today she is the messenger of Zhao Guogong's old ginger.

That piece of old ginger is a person who is about to live into a fine life, and the speed of seeing the wind turn the rudder is beyond imagination. Such a person can not be an enemy, it is better not to do it. He used the second girl of the Zhen family as a messenger and bowed his head first, so I will treat this second girl equally well and show kindness. Needless to say, the past grievances have been resolved for the time being. ”

"Hold on?!"

"Well, the old man of the Jiang family lives for a day, and this grievance will be turned over for a day. When the old man is gone, and then there is nothing to say after he is gone, the Jiang family is not all understanding. ”
