Chapter 463 Message
After listening to Jia Baoyu's words, Jia Mu smiled and said to him, "You don't care about this matter. Since ancient times, major marriage events have been the orders of parents and matchmakers. An official as big as your eldest brother has already divided the marquis, and your father and I are still in charge of marriage. Where can you manage this? ”
The mandarin duck next to him had already heard the displeasure from Jia Mu's tone, in fact, the mandarin duck still had Jia Baoyu in his heart, so he hurriedly came out to play a round for him, "Bao Sanye, I left you a big lobster at noon, this thing is rare that the uncle took a lot of effort to transport it from the south." There are only a few in total, I left one for you, you can take it back and taste it with Miss Lin in a while. ”
Jia Mu listened to the mandarin duck's words and felt that what she said now was the right time, so she couldn't help but glance at the mandarin duck with appreciation, and then said to Jia Baoyu with a smile: "You must have never seen this thing, that shrimp is bigger than a chicken." It's the first time I've seen it in my life. ”
After Jia Mu finished speaking, just like a mandarin duck making a color, the mandarin duck immediately went out and came in with a food box in the next room, Jia Baoyu was already attracted by what they said.
There is a shrimp as big as a chicken, he has grown so big, let alone seen it, he has never even heard of it. At this time, I saw the mandarin duck come in with a large food box. Hurry over and pick it up, put it on the table, and open it gently.
As soon as the food box was opened, a strange fragrance immediately wafted out of it, which Jia Baoyu had never smelled before. When he looked inside, he was startled.
I saw a lobster on the plate inside, which was really about the size of a chicken. Jia Baoyu watched from the sidelines in amazement.
When Jia Mu saw Jia Baoyu's surprise, she smiled and said, "This thing is a little cold now, you take it back to the garden and let the small kitchen heat it up for you, and I will taste it with Daiyu tonight." ”
Jia Baoyu looked at this lobster and felt very novel, and now when he heard Jia's mother say that he should take it back, he was naturally happy in his heart, but when he looked at Jia's mother again, he felt a little embarrassed, "It's better to keep the old lady to eat, what we young people eat is not the same." ”
When Jia Mu heard Jia Baoyu say this, she now felt that Jia Baoyu really respected him and wanted to leave good things to him, so she was even happier in her heart, but she still pretended to be unhappy and said: "Let you take it back, you will take it, I am a little scared when I look at this thing, how can I eat it." ”
After listening to Jia's mother's words, Jia Baoyu immediately happily re-closed the box, and then raised it in his hand and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, you sit first, I'll take this box and go to the back to show Sister Lin." Let her open her eyes too. ”
After Jia Baoyu said this, no matter what Jia's mother reacted to, she rushed out of Jia's mother's courtyard and went back to Daguan Garden.
Jia Mu saw him running so fast, where could she rest assured? Hurriedly instructed the mandarin duck next to him: "Quickly let a little maid follow, don't let him have an accident, it's not good to fall and touch." ”
The mandarin duck said yes and went out, and took a little girl to follow Jia Baoyu and send him back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion before coming back.
After the mandarin duck returned to Jia's mother's side, Jia's mother nodded approvingly at him and said, "Now you are getting more and more discerning, Baoyu asked just now, I was really afraid of hurting his face." ”
"This is still taught by the old lady, otherwise how can my little girl understand this." The mandarin duck said modestly beside him.
Jia Mu listened to the compliments of the mandarin duck, but she thought of another person in her heart. That is Mama Lai, who has always grown up with her, and Mama Lai in the past was also like a mandarin duck, who could immediately guess her mind and do things properly for her.
Now that I think about it, Mama Lai has been gone for seven or eight years, and these things seem like yesterday. But if she hadn't provoked Jia Ke back then, she would now be in front of her old lady in Lai's mansion like herself. It's all fate, it's just that she doesn't have the blessing to enjoy today's glory and wealth.
Besides, the news that Jia Ke wanted to take Shi Xiangyun as a concubine soon spread from Rongguo Mansion to Wuyang Hou's Mansion.
What news can be hidden from Qin Keqing in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion?
Now in the main house of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, Qin Keqing is discussing this matter with his maid Ruizhu.
"Miss, how can you say that the old lady can be like this? Our uncle is fine, she has to stuff her grandniece over, what is she going to do? Ruizhu said there huffingly.
Qin Keqing thought about it for a while and understood what the old lady meant, I am afraid that the old lady saw that Jia Ke was getting more and more powerful now, so she wanted to take a look at her mother's family. Therefore, Shi Xiangyun was told to Jia Ke, which can be regarded as a link between Shi and Jia Ke.
Of course, Qin Keqing knew that this kind of thing was common in the big family, but he was still unhappy in his heart, you must know that Shi Xiangyun was completely different from Jia Ke's previous concubines.
Qin Keqing thought for a while and said to Ruizhu: "It's still early for this matter, after all, Miss Shi is still young, and it will take a few years to think about our mansion." In a few years, the eldest brother of our family has grown up, if it is good, I can still have another one, and I am afraid that she will not succeed Shi Xiangyun at that time. ”
Ruizhu listened to Qin Keqing's words, and then thought about Jia Ke's thousands of favors for Qin Keqing, she had also seen that Miss Shi, although there was a little color, but it was far worse than their young lady, and she couldn't threaten their young lady, so she put her heart down a little.
This matter was deliberately suppressed by Qin Keqing, and it quickly calmed down in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, and no one mentioned Shi Xiangyun again.
Besides, this matter quickly spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion, and the news reached Xue Baochai's ears after a while.
Xue Baochai has been paying attention to the news about Jia Ke in real time since he was interested in Jia Ke, and now when he heard that Jia's mother was in charge and gave Shi Xiangyun to Jia Ke as a concubine, he felt a burst of boredom in his heart.
At the same time, I thought that it had been so long, and I didn't know if my uncle's letter had come back.
So he left the Grand View Garden and went to the Lixiang Courtyard where Aunt Xue lived.
When I arrived at Lixiangyuan and waited, I heard that there was a calm inside, so I was a little relieved, it seems that my brother has not caused any trouble to the family during this time.
When Xue Baochai came to the main house of Lixiangyuan, she found a maid to report to the inside that her mother had come to the side of the house.
"Girl, why are you here now?"
"I'm annoyed in the yard, so I'm back and talking to my mother."
Aunt Xue didn't speak, but just lightly tapped Xue Baochai's forehead with her finger, and then said, "You can hide this little bit of thought from me?" ”
After finishing speaking, Aunt Xue pulled Xue Baochai into the house.
The mother and daughter sat down on the kang in the inner room, and then Aunt Xue asked, "What is the matter?" Let you run over in a hurry. ”
Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed, looked at Aunt Xue, and then lowered his head and said, "I don't know if my uncle has replied?" ”
Aunt Xue understood after hearing this, only to see her frowning and looking at Xue Baochai, and then said: "The reply is a reply, but your uncle said that don't act rashly for the time being." ”
"Is there any explanation for that?"
"Your uncle didn't say much, just said that the situation is unstable now, and we'll see it in the next year or two."
Although Xue Baochai is just a woman, she has great ambitions in her heart, so she also pays some attention to the affairs of the court.
Now that I heard the meaning of Wang Ziteng's letter, I understood the truth. At the same time, I let out a long breath in my heart, and I was still a little anxious.
Aunt Xue Jian Xue Baochai stopped talking, and she already knew that Xue Baochai's cleverness would definitely be able to understand, so she said: "Your uncle said that according to the relationship between our four major families, it is nothing to be one step earlier or one step later, but the danger is indeed not small, I don't think there is any need to fight with that girl for this priority." ”
It turned out that Aunt Xue had heard about Shi Xiangyun a long time ago, and she also understood, Xue Baochai was a little anxious, so she said this.
Xue Baochai nodded silently after listening.
Besides, in the Bowling Marquis's Mansion, after Shi Nai came back, he went directly to his wife Zhang, and he laughed a lot.
Zhang didn't understand what happened when he saw this, and the marriage seemed to be completed, "Master, is the marriage completed?" How did the old lady over there reply? ”
Shi Nai walked around the hall excitedly, and said to Zhang as he walked: "The old lady has agreed, not only have I met the old lady, but I have abandoned my previous suspicions." And I also met our niece and son-in-law, who was really majestic, and really powerful all over the world. ”
Seeing his excitement, Zhang stepped forward to grab him and pressed him to the chair. Then he shoved a cup of hot tea into his hand, and then asked, "What the hell is going on?" You tell me about it, and I have a number in my heart. ”
"What can it be, my aunt has been thinking about our family all these years, and always wants to arrange a way back for us, but we are so unfilial that we haven't visited his old man for so many years." Shi Nai's eyes showed shame when he said this, he had talked with Jia's mother for a long time today, and knew that Jia's mother had always taken their family to heart and had been waiting for them to come to the door.
"Then the old man and the old lady said, is our family in distress? The old lady is thinking about how to help our family? "The Zhang family is now a little worried about money, and they can't eat.
Shi Nai glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Can the old lady be as vulgar as you?" Even if you want to help our family, you can't give the silver directly, otherwise where will we put our faces? ”
After Shi Nai said this, he took out the dagger from Jia Ke's arms, "This is a token from the eldest brother of Rongguofu to our family Xiangyun, you can send someone to Xiangyun in a while, tell her about this matter, tell her that the matter has been decided, and let her not have any other thoughts." ”
What Shi Nai is most worried about now is that Shi Xiangyun is desperately resisting, you must know that according to her temperament, it is not good, it is really possible.
But now Shi Nai has hope, knowing that Jia Ke will arrange him for the position of Yangzhou prefect, but Shi Xiangyun does not agree, he will tie her to a sedan chair and send her to Rongguo Mansion.
Zhang's dagger looked closely, and the jewels inlaid on it almost covered the scabbard and handle. This dagger is enough for them to eat in the house for a few years just by its appearance.
