Jiafu, this time is destined to be unpeaceful.

Originally, Concubine Yuan was scheduled to return home on the day of August 15, and this incident affected almost all the manpower and material resources of Jiafu.

It's just that before things were fully prepared, there was a huge upheaval in the court. Fortunately, Jia Qing and Jia Zheng are well restrained, except for Jia Baoyu, the baby bump of Rongguo Mansion, who almost caused some trouble, Jia Mansion has not been affected in any way, and is still fully planning to welcome the concubine.

Seeing that Jiafu was about to usher in the biggest event in recent decades, it seemed that something was wrong with the center of Ningguo Mansion......

Everyone in the attentive Ning Guofu family knows that the second master, who originally tried his best to supervise the garden, seems to have not entered the garden for more than ten days!

Moreover, these days, whether it is the chief housekeeper Lai Sheng or the second master's personal entourage, they all look preoccupied, and they can't help but be curious.

The power of curiosity is enormous. Under the trend of this power, not to mention, there are really many people who have insight into some things, although they are not comprehensive, but they are enough to spread between the two provinces.

So, soon Ning Rong's second mansion knew that the second master of Qing, who had always been very strong, was in big trouble!

……

In the middle of summer, the weather is always so uncomfortable.

Towards evening, the scorching sun subsided, and only the heat remained.

Jia's mother's Rongqing Hall, because it is in the courtyard of the deep house, and the house is large and ventilated, it looks slightly cooler than other places. Therefore, almost all the masters of the back house of Rongguo Mansion gathered here, one can relieve some boredom in one place, and the other is also to show the heart of filial piety to Jia's mother.

Mrs. Li Kunwang, Aunt Xue, and others accompanied Jia's mother to play cards for half an afternoon, and then the kitchen sent a can of boiled green plum soup, Jia's mother took a sip and felt very good, so she asked Jia Baoyu and the Sanchun sisters to come over to taste it.

In this way, although there are many people, Daiyu and the others are all delicate people, and they know that this soup was specially made by Li Kun for Jia's mother, so they only drank a little symbolically.

"Alas, I said why are there so many of us, we can't even drink such a small can, it turns out that Yun Yatou and Brother Qing'er are not there! If the two of them are here, let alone have so much left, I'm afraid they will still be clamoring for not enough to drink! ”

After the sisters all put down the soup bowl, Jia Mu looked at the small half of the green plum soup in the jar, and suddenly laughed teasingly.

Her words made everyone laugh.

Li Kun said: "What the old lady said is not true, Sensei said that the two of them, as long as one person is here, this soup will be long gone." ”

Jia Baoyu likes to gossip about Jia Qing behind his back, and said with a smile: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is that the second brother and Sister Yun are the most greedy, but the second brother used to say that I was so fat because I ate too much, but in fact, I don't eat as much as him, and I am not fat!" ”

Yingchun and the others all covered their mouths and snickered. In the Manfu, Jia Qing alone said that Jia Baoyu was too fat, and the others either didn't dare to offend him, or they were just like himself, they didn't feel that he was fat at all, but it was a blessing for his body......

Seeing that his words really received a "friendly" response from his sisters, Jia Baoyu was even happier, and continued: "However, it's also strange, the second brother obviously eats more than me every time, why is his body not as good as mine?" ”

In Jia Baoyu's words, a good body means more meat......

So, Daiyu was not happy, and when she saw Jia Baoyu sitting next to her with a puzzled look, she smiled faintly: "Then why don't you say that the second brother is taller than you?" ”

Forehead......

Jia Baoyu choked.

Also, at their age, girls develop faster than boys, so although Jia Baoyu is one year older than Daiyu, in fact, Daiyu is not shorter than Jia Baoyu, but because of her thinness, she looks taller than Jia Baoyu.

Coupled with Jia Baoyu's some blessings that made him proud, the whole thing looked like a little chubby.

On the other hand, Jia Qing's development is relatively advanced, except that the cross-sectional area is slightly inferior to Jia Baoyu, and the height is almost the standard of an adult.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu and Jia Qing stood together, and those who didn't know would definitely think that the little fat man next to them was his younger brother.

Jia Baoyu was restrained by Daiyu's words, but the others talked and laughed in a warm atmosphere, and overheard Jia's mother say:

"By the way, why haven't I seen Brother Qing come over for a few days?"

Everyone was quiet, and at this time, most people in the hall didn't know much about the things outside, and even if they did, it was only a sporadic discussion of the maids.

Only Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue know a little more.

So, the sisters whispered: "Yes, I haven't seen my second brother for a few days, what is he busy with?" ”

Everyone couldn't respond to Jia's mother's words for a while, but they couldn't let Jia's mother's words fall through, so Mrs. Wang pondered and said: "I think he has too much to do, and he has to repair the garden, so he has no time to spare." ”

Jia Mu said: "No matter how busy you are, you won't even have time to come over and say a word, could it be that my wife is troublesome and too lazy to come to see me, just secretly look at his sisters and leave?" ”

Jia's mother knew that Jia Qing was close to the sisters and brothers in the family, and she suspected that Jia Qing was just looking at the sisters and not coming to see her, so she would have to say something!

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Where is this statement, no matter how confused Brother Qing is, he won't dare to do this." ”

The Sanchun sisters also hurriedly said that Jia Qing had not come to see them......

If Jia Mu really thought that Jia Qing deliberately avoided her, then Jia Qing would definitely be in trouble.

"Old Lady ......"

At this time, Jia Lian came to greet Jia's mother on behalf of Wang Xifeng and entered Rongqing Hall.

"How is your daughter-in-law?"

"Mrs. Meng remembers, she is fine, but her spirit is not very good, but she is still thinking about you, old lady."

Jia Mu had a smile on her face. Wang Xifeng's filial piety to her is not just talking, but really doing it everywhere.

To say that Jia Mu is not so easy to fool and buy, she will not suspect that Wang Xifeng is deliberately currying favor in front of her. Rather, even if Wang Xifeng is pretending, he can persist in pretending for so many years or seven years, and he has not slackened off, and the fake has become true, so it is impossible for Jia's mother not to like this granddaughter-in-law in her heart!

"At this time, where is there still good spirits, you have to take care of it, something goes wrong, I will ask you!"

"The old lady Sun Erzun commanded, and she will definitely take care of her."

"Hmm."

Seeing that Jia's mother no longer had anything to say, Jia Lian glanced at the full house of female dependents, and was reluctant to stay here, so he said, "Old lady, if you don't have any instructions, your grandson will go first?" ”

is mainly a stepmother and an aunt, plus an aunt, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

"Hmm."

Jia Mu nodded subconsciously, but after a moment, she suddenly said, "You come back." ”

Jia Lian, who had just taken a step, turned around and said, "What else does the ancestor command?" ”

Jia Mu asked: "I heard your wife say, you and Brother Qing are all in the garden, what are you busy with now?" ”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I'm just respecting the old man's order to see where there is a lack of help and buy some, and the big and small things in the garden are handled by the government over there." Now, except for the last batch of bamboo curtains, tents and other things, the others are basically complete, and even the nuns and Taoist aunts in a few nunnery temples have been properly placed, so there is nothing to be busy with. ”

Jia Mu nodded, feeling very good. Suddenly, he wondered: "Since the things in the garden are no longer busy, then what is your second brother busy these days, I haven't seen the monkey for several days." ”

"This ......," Jia Lian hesitated.

If you want to talk about the affairs of Ning Guofu, it is impossible for Jia Lian not to know anything about it, but it is not very clear! He had his own doubts.

If Wang Xifeng asked him about this, he would keep what he knew and didn't know, plus what he guessed, and absolutely shook it all out. It's just that in front of Jia Mu, he didn't dare to speak casually.

Jia Mu is the real ancestor of Jia Mansion, and Jia Mansion will be nervous if she sneezes. How dare he talk nonsense in front of her, in case of trouble, he can't afford it. It's not just him, the vast majority of people in Jia Mansion are like this, and they don't dare to speak casually in front of Jia's mother.

Only Wang Xifeng is bold and careful, quick and ingenious, and can play like a fish in water in front of Jia's mother. This is also where many people are jealous of Wang Xifeng but are helpless, no way, who told them that they don't have this ability?

"Why, is there anything else that is hard to say? Or are you hiding something from me? ”

Jia Mu said unhappily.
