When the mandarin duck entered Jia's mother's inner room, Jia's mother was playing leaf cards with a few old grandmothers at this time.

Where did these old grandmothers dare to win Mother Jia, but they were just having fun with her, so now Mother Jia actually piled up a pile of copper coins in front of her.

The mandarin duck quietly came to Jia's mother's side, and then said in a low voice: "Old lady, an old relative in Jinling, sent a letter to you, we don't know who it is, we don't know if you read it or not." ”

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then thought for a while and nodded.

When the mandarin duck saw Jia's mother's expression, he immediately handed the letter in his arms to Jia's mother.

Jia Mu took the letter, and when she saw the peach blossom on the envelope, her face changed a little.

This peach blossom is a specially agreed code, the outermost part of the peach blossom is 4 petals, these 4 petals are an emergency sign, this is the agreement between Jia's mother and the Zhen family in the south, only when it comes to the emergency to use this sign.

Jia Mu immediately opened the letter in her hand and read the contents.

At this glance, his face was clouded, but in the end he didn't say anything, just waved his hand to let the old women around him retreat.

Jia Mu thought for a while, and said to the mandarin duck next to her: "These people who came have brought me here, let me have a look." You should do it yourself, and don't fake the hands of others. ”

The mandarin duck nodded, bowed down and exited Jia's mother's room, and went directly to the second door.

When the mandarin duck arrived at the second gate, the little guy was already waiting there a little impatiently.

But as soon as he saw the mandarin duck, he immediately became attentive, came to the mandarin duck, and kept giving her salutes.

"I didn't expect this little thing, but also worked for Sister Mandarin Duck."

"Alright, don't be flamboyant, take me to the messenger."

So the little guy quickly shut up and led the way, and the two of them came all the way to the corner gate.

At this time, Zhen Baoyu and the girls of the Zhen family were already a little impatient, and the old servant kept comforting them.

And the mandarin duck arrived at this time, he suddenly saw a boy standing in front of him with a face like a silver basin, this look startled her, this and Jia Baoyu in the house is almost carved out of the same mold, if it weren't for the fact that he is very embarrassed now, even the mandarin duck is almost misrecognized.

At this moment, the old servant saw that the little maid brought out a very delicately dressed maid, and knew that this was a powerful maid in the house.

So he hurriedly stepped forward to give the mandarin duck a salute, and then asked, "This girl, I don't know what the old lady means?" ”

The mandarin duck said to the old servant with a smile: "This old housekeeper, our old lady invites a few people to come in and talk back. ”

When the mandarin duck was about to leave, the janitor suddenly stopped her, "Sister mandarin duck, wait a minute, I have something to report." ”

The mandarin duck turned her head to look at the little girl, only to see the little girl waving to her from a distance.

The mandarin duck could only helplessly walk in front of the little guy again.

As soon as the little guy saw the mandarin duck coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to advance, rushed to the mandarin duck's side, and whispered: "Sister mandarin duck, they had an old lady following just now, but now they are gone." ”

The mandarin duck frowned when he heard this, and finally waved his hand to let the kid go.

After that, he nodded to the sons and girls behind, and then led the way in front.

After a while, these people walked through the courtyard and came to Jia's mother's room.

When the mandarin duck arrived here, he stopped, but said to these people: "A few sons, young ladies, and this old housekeeper, please wait here for a while, and I will go in and talk back to the old lady." ”

After the mandarin duck finished speaking, he went directly into Jia's mother's main room without waiting for these people to talk, and at this time, Jia's mother had been waiting in the main room for a long time.

"Back to the old lady, the person has been taken outside, please show the old lady what to do next."

"Who are they?"

"Back to the old lady, there is a son, three young ladies, and an old housekeeper who leads the way."

The mandarin duck paused, and added, "That little boy is a little strange. ”

As soon as Jia Mu heard this, she was so interested, so she asked, "What's so strange, isn't it too ugly?" ”

"Back to the old lady, it's not that she's too ugly, it's just that this son looks at it, and it's almost exactly the same as our Jia Baoyu, if it weren't for the different dresses and met on the street, I really thought it was our family Baoyu."

After hearing this, the old lady came to Xingzhi, and then said with a smile: "Then I want to see them, you go and pass them in." ”

The mandarin duck didn't go out immediately, but said next to him: "Old lady, they were originally following an old woman, but when I went out, there was no one." ”

Who is Jia Mu? As soon as I heard this, I knew what this person was doing, the Zhen family had a close relationship with their Jia family, and the grandmothers of the two families also had a lot of contacts, so it seemed that this old grandmother was looking for another relationship.

In that case, don't worry about her, just see who he can find, "Let her go." ”

Seeing that Jia's mother only said this, the mandarin duck had nothing else to say, so he saluted Jia's mother first, and then exited Jia's mother's main room.

After a while, a few people were brought in, Jia Mu sat in the middle and looked at it suddenly, wasn't it Jia Baoyu who came in front? But after a closer look, I saw that this boy was covered with dust, and his clothes were not very clean, and he looked a little emaciated by Bijia Baoyu.

After these young ladies came in, they first gave a salute to Jia's mother according to the rules, and then they stood aside and didn't know what to say.

Mother Jia saw that they were standing there a little rusty, and what could the children of them say, so she asked the mandarin duck to lead Zhen Baoyu and a few girls down, re-groom, and let them rest for a while.

At this time, only this old servant was left in the house.

"What the hell is going on in your family, how could you cause such a big incident?"

In fact, Jia's mother was also a little unhappy after reading the letter, what is going on with this Zhen family, an old relative for several lifetimes, as soon as their family took power, they came to make trouble for their family, is this still a relative?

The old servant said a little embarrassed: "Back to the old lady, this time it was our lord who did something bad, mainly because the uncle of your mansion suddenly withdrew the right to spy on Jiangnan, and our lord was a little anxious, so he did the wrong thing, and asked the old lady to do too much." ”

Mother Jia heard what he said, but she didn't know if it was okay, she could understand Jia Ke's right to take back the right to monitor Jiangnan, after all, this right is not small, so naturally it has to be handed over to her henchmen, the Zhen family has nothing to do with Jia Ke, how can Jia Ke trust them, and taking back the right is also the right to be.

"And what do you mean now?"

"Back to the old lady's words, now we don't dare to have any wrong thoughts, just ask the old lady to say a few kind words in front of the prime minister, let our family go, let us be safe, that is, the greatest blessing."

Mother Jia was also a little moved when she heard his words, after all, she was an old relative, and she had to be forgiving and forgiving, but she couldn't be the master of this matter.

If it is said that it is the matter of the inner house of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Ke naturally has nothing to do with himself, but this matter of the court is not trivial, and it will affect the whole body, if he intervenes rashly, I am afraid that it will be a little bad, and I don't know if Jia Ke has other meanings, if he destroys his plan, it will be more than worth the loss for his own Jia family.

"You go back and rest first, I know about this matter, and I'll give you a message as soon as possible."

After Jia Mu said this, she glanced at the maid next to her, and the maid took the old servant out.

"Mandarin duck, you go to the next house to see if your uncle is back, if you come back, let him come to me."

The mandarin duck got Jia's mother's words, went out, and went straight to the Yanguo Mansion next to him.

Not to mention the mandarin ducks, but now in Mrs. Wang's house, the old lady who is not seen in the poem is kneeling in front of Mrs. Wang, kowtowing constantly.

"I beg Mrs. to raise her noble hand and deliver a letter to the lady in our palace, but our family has reached the point of exhaustion, otherwise we wouldn't dare to trouble Madame."

Mrs. Wang sat on it without any expression, she already knew from the mouth of this old lady just now that Jia Ke was going to make a move on the Zhen family.

Mrs. Wang did not have any dissatisfaction with this matter, when their Jia family was in difficulty, how glorious the Zhen family was at that time, Jiangnan almost covered the sky with one hand, so she didn't see this old relative come to help, and at that time, the affection was almost exhausted.

The old lady kneeling on the ground saw Mrs. Wang expressionless on it, and knew that something was wrong, so she gritted her teeth and took out a few silver tickets from her arms, held them in both hands and handed them to Mrs. Wang, and said, "These silver give Mrs. a cup of tea to drink, and ask Mrs. to help more." ”

Yu Chu'er, who was standing next to Mrs. Wang, hurriedly stepped forward to take the silver ticket, and then respectfully delivered it to Mrs. Wang's eyes.

Mrs. Wang took a look, and the one on the top was 5,000 taels, and I am afraid that there were tens of thousands of taels for these ones.

"You stay in the house first, and I'll call you back when I get the news."

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Caixia, who was standing below, immediately stepped forward to help the old woman and took her out.

It was only then that Madame Wang took the silver ticket, and then pondered there for a long time before finally showing a smug smile.

Besides, the mandarin duck got Jia's mother's orders, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he came to the Yanguo Mansion from the Moon Gate, passed the second gate, and directly poured Qin Keqing's main house.

There were already maids outside Qin Keqing's main gate who had already looked at the mandarin ducks, and if you want to say that most of these maids in the Yanguo Mansion were transferred from the Rongguo Mansion, they naturally knew the weight of the mandarin ducks.

So these maids went forward together and surrounded the mandarin duck to give her a salute, "Sister mandarin duck, how can you have time to come to us?" ”

"When you go in and report it, you say I want to see grandma."

When these maids saw the mandarin duck's serious face, they knew that he had something, so they no longer pestered one of the maids into the main house, and after a while, they came out again, and said to the mandarin duck with a smile: "Grandma, please let the mandarin duck sister in." ”

Only then did the mandarin duck dare to enter Qin Keqing's main house, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Qin Keqing sitting in the middle, and Shi Xiangyun sitting next to him.

Qin Keqing watched the mandarin duck finish giving him a salute, and then asked, "This time, isn't the old lady what you have to say?" ”

"Back to grandma, the old lady asked me to come over and ask if the uncle is there? If so, please go to the old lady's. ”

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you came, your uncle just came back and is bathing behind." Wait a moment, wait a moment for him to come out, and let him go with you to the old lady. ”
