After Jia Mu sent Shi Nai to the guest room, she had time to talk to Jia Ke and the others again.

"Big brother, there really isn't any obstacle this time, right?" Jia Mu just took care of everything in front of Shi Nai, it was just a matter of face, and now there were no outsiders, so she naturally had to ask Jia Ke carefully.

Jia Ke didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "Don't worry, old lady, it's not the governor of a province, but a prefect of Yangzhou, I can still do this." ”

In fact, Jia Ke has long wanted to change the position of the Yangzhou prefect, and that position is too important.

It's not that his official is big, but there is too much oil and water in this position, and the filial piety that the emperor and the emperor get from this position every year is probably at least two or three hundred thousand, and this silver can also play a big role if it is used to buy the minister and Jia Ke against him, so Jia Ke has long thought in his heart that he will replace this Yangzhou prefect with his own people.

Today, Shi Nai came to ask for an official, just in time. Arranging Shi Nai in Yangzhou can cut off a large amount of money for the emperor, and it can also give Shi Nai a way out.

When Jia Mu heard Jia Ke say this, she was relieved, and at the same time she had a deeper understanding of her own situation.

Jia Ke saw that there was nothing to do here, so he said goodbye to Jia's mother, because there was still a group of people waiting outside his mansion, although these people were not Qing officials, but they all came to join him, so naturally they couldn't wait too long. All Qing officials are virtuous, and they will not take refuge in him, a powerful and notorious minister.

Jia Mu naturally knew that Jia Ke was busy, so she didn't keep him and waved him out to do his own business.

After Jia Ke left Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu asked Jia Zheng, who was standing next to him: "Since the eldest brother is so powerful now, why don't you move your position and let you still be an idle little official." ”

Jia Zheng now doesn't take the official position to heart at all, although he is still a petty official of Wupin, but when he goes to the Yashang, even Zhang Chaoxin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has to give him a salute when he sees him.

And now he has nothing to do, and he can still talk about poetry and painting with these Qingqing guests at home, and he can go out and play with one or two friends, which is really a rare and beautiful thing. How can you still be disturbed by these chores?

"Old lady, I discussed it with my eldest brother, if I am in a high position, I am afraid that people in the world will gossip, it is better to live a leisurely life like this, and how big can I be if I am an official?"

Jia Mu nodded when she heard this, knowing that this is also the truth, to say that Jia Zheng still had the mind of being an official in the past, and now Jia Ke is a very popular minister, with power all over the world, although Jia Zheng said that he did not become an official, but his power was stronger than that of the first and second officials in the court, so he put down the idea of being an official.

Besides, there are no secrets in the Rongguo Mansion, today's events have spread all over the Rongguo Mansion in a short period of time.

Jia Baoyu, who was in the Grand View Garden in the afternoon, heard the news, and Jia Baoyu was playing chess with Lin Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion at this time.

Suddenly, when I saw Lin Daiyu's maid Snow Goose, she ran in from outside in a hurry. As soon as he entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he shouted at everyone regardless of the occasion, "Do you know that Miss Shi is married." ”

Zijuan heard what she said, and hurriedly came over to stop her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let the old lady know, do you want to die or live?" ”

Xue Yan was actually very dissatisfied with Zijuan, she originally followed Lin Daiyu when she was in Yangzhou, but she didn't expect to become Zijuan's attack when she arrived in Jiafu, and even many maids in the house were stronger than her, which made her how could she endure this breath.

Xue Yan now heard Zijuan teach her again, and said with an unwilling face: "This is not what I said, now it has spread all over the house." ”

Jia Baoyu, who was playing chess on the side, frowned when he heard him say this, Jia Baoyu, you said that he has a pure temperament, and he is really good to anyone. You have to say that he is careful, it is also true, everything that is his or someone who is good with him, once he has something to do with others, he will immediately be dissatisfied.

Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun have grown up together since they were children, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. There is no childlike love between the two. Now that I hear that Shi Xiangyun is going to get married, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

But he still asked with a smile on his face: "Xue Yan, where did you get the news, who is Sister Shi going to marry?" ”

As soon as Xue Yan heard Jia Baoyu's question, she immediately became interested, bypassed Zijuan in three steps and two steps, and came to Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's chessboard, "Bao Sanye, we still know too late in the garden, in fact, the news has already spread in the morning." I heard that it was Miss Shi's uncle who came to our house to propose marriage in person. ”

Jia Baoyu's face immediately turned red when he heard this, in his mind, he was the only one who could match Shi Xiangyun in Rongguo's mansion now.

Now Jia Baoyu has a thought in his heart, is it not that Sister Xiangyun wants to make a second room for herself, thinking of this, Jia Baoyu also has a burst of joy in her heart.

Lin Daiyu, who was playing chess on the side, was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and threw the chess in her hand directly on the chessboard, angry and did not speak.

Jia Baoyu saw this situation, and hurriedly went up to persuade him: "Sister, don't be angry, I don't know about this, and even if Sister Shi marries, she can't go past you." ”

Lin Daiyu was even more dissatisfied when she heard this, what happened to this Jia Baoyu? Do you really want to accept Shi Xiangyun?

The snow goose next to her saw that Jia Baoyu had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Third Master Bao, girl, you two have misunderstood." Miss Shi was not married to our third master, but was told by the old lady to the uncle in the house next to her. ”

As soon as Jia Baoyu heard this, his face became gloomy. He didn't expect that a person like Shi Xiangyun, who was innocent and jade-like, would actually want to be a concubine for Jia Ke. I don't know what the old lady thinks, but she actually pushed Sister Shi into the fire pit.

After listening to Xue Yan's words, Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, in fact, Lin Daiyu was open-minded on the surface, but in fact, she was very thoughtful in her heart, since she lived in Jiafu, she had the feeling of being under the fence. Later, Jia's mother decided to give herself to Jia Baoyu, and this feeling slowly faded.

But the insecurity in Lin Daiyu's heart has always existed, and she just thought that Jia's mother had given Shi Xiangyun to Jia Baoyu as a second room, so she felt a little uncomfortable. lamenting that she has no father and no mother, if she has a loved one, where can she suffer such grievances.

Now I know that I misunderstood, and at the same time I feel a little guilty about Jia's mother, she thinks that her grandmother is so good to her, how could she do such a thing. Sure enough, it is Jia Mu who really cares about herself in this world, and she will definitely not let herself suffer any grievances.

And Jia Baoyu was not in the mood to play chess when she heard this, so she turned to Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister, I'll go and inquire about what's going on, and I'll talk to you when I come back." ”

After Jia Baoyu said this, he didn't care if Lin Daiyu had any reaction, so he ran out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Baoyu didn't see it, after he ran out, Lin Daiyu's eyes immediately turned red, and she lay on the quilt and cried bitterly.

And Zijuan next to him didn't understand when he saw this scene, Lin Daiyu was angry Jia Baoyu didn't have a qualification, and his mind was used on other girls, regardless of whether his fiancée was still there.

Zijuan took a few steps forward, came to Lin Daiyu's side, and said softly: "Girl, don't be angry, isn't Baoyu this kind of character?" But he would never think like that to others, as the girl should know. ”

Lin Daiyu was lying on the quilt and did not fully agree with Zijuan's words. Jia Baoyu really doesn't have a very strong love for other girls, but his temperament is to pay attention to girls all the time, to be honest, there is no affection at all, it is a lie.

Jia Baoyu left the Grand View Garden, came to Rongguo Mansion, and went straight to his study. When they arrived at the study, they saw that four of their little servants were on duty there, and as soon as these people saw Jia Baoyu coming, they immediately rushed up and hugged him into the study.

After Jia Baoyu entered the study, he beckoned to Mingyan, who was most trusted by him, to come over, and sent the others out of the room.

Mingyan came to Jia Baoyu and asked with a smile: "Third master, do you want to do small things today, do you want any books or strange puppet mud tires?" ”

Jia Baoyu used to often ask Mingyan to do some more secret private affairs, such as some ** "The Legend of the West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion" and the like. Therefore, Shang Mingyan saw that Jia Baoyu was so mysterious, thinking that he wanted something again.

Jia Baoyu ignored Mingyan, but asked with a calm face: "I heard that Sister Shi is going to marry the eldest brother as a concubine, is there such a thing?" ”

As soon as Mingyan heard it, he understood that this Jia Baoyu was jealous, and he had also heard about it. So he hurriedly said carefully to Jia Baoyu, "Third master, I heard that Bao Linghou personally came to the house to mention his relatives, and our old lady has also approved it, and I also heard that for this matter, our uncle also promised to arrange a good errand for Bao Linghou." ”

After listening to Mingyan's narration, Jia Baoyu felt that the anger was rising, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it. Although Sister Shi is not made of water like Sister Xue and Sister Lin, she is also a beautiful woman who is clear and jade. Where is such a person who only knows how to covet wealth and wealth, and the reckless man Jia Ke can deserve it.

So Jia Baoyu ignored Mingyan and went directly out of the police station, and went to Jia's mother to the hospital. He is now thinking about the marriage of Huang, so that Sister Shi does not have to be a concubine for Jia Ke and suffers the sins of this life.

When Jia Baoyu came to Jia's mother's house, a maid had already seen him, and someone immediately announced: "Bao Sanye is here." After saying that, he opened the curtain on him and invited him to Jia's mother's main house.

At this time, Jia's mother had just woken up, she received Shi Nai this morning, talked with him all morning, and was very excited, plus she drank some wine at noon, and made an exception to lie in bed for a while in the afternoon.

When Jia Baoyu saw Jia's mother, Jia's mother had just finished freshening up, sitting there eating tea, and when she saw Jia Baoyu coming, she smiled and said, "Baoyu is here, come and let me see, I haven't lost weight for a few days." ”

Jia Baoyu came to Jia's mother angrily and said, "Old lady, I heard that you promised Sister Shi to your eldest brother as a concubine, is it true?" ”

When Jia Mu heard Jia Baoyu's bad tone, the smile on her face gradually relaxed, she put the tea bowl on the kang table on the side, and said calmly: "There is such a thing, even the tokens of the two sides have been exchanged." How did it get to you? ”

When Jia Baoyu heard that it was true, he hurriedly rolled to Jia's mother's side, hugged her waist and said, "Old lady, you can withdraw from this marriage." Sister Shi is so arrogant, but she goes to be a concubine, how can she stand it. ”
