The two sisters-in-law were chatting about family life, and Zhang's eldest maid Chunqiao walked in, and after saluting Xiao Zhang and Jia Min, she glanced at Jia Min who was sitting, and looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Jia Min's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to Ripple Courtyard to see Xuan'er, and I'll come back to you for dinner later." ”

"You wait! Chunqiao has something to say, my sister is not an outsider, we don't need to hide the affairs of Rongguo Mansion from her! Xiao Zhang grabbed Jia Mindao, who was about to get up and leave.

Chun Qiao replied, and said generously: "Just now, the second wife in Lixiang Courtyard brought back an old couple from outside!" ”

Xiao Zhang and Jia Min glanced at each other, and both frowned in confusion.

"Who is this old couple? Why did the second brother and sister suddenly bring someone back? Xiao Zhang asked.

"I heard that the old couple was selling their bodies on the street and wanted to make up a coffin for their son, and the second wife saw that they were lonely, so she was very pitiful, so she asked people to help bury the son of the old couple, and brought them back, planning to let them help do some chores in the Lixiang Courtyard!" Chunqiao replied.

Jia Min thought for a moment and then said: "Sister-in-law, you better let people find out the origin of these two people, I still have some understanding of the second sister-in-law of the Wang family, she is definitely not the kind of person with a good heart, and she never does anything that is not beneficial to herself!" According to her temperament, she will not be nosy, she will definitely hide far away! ”

Although Xiao Zhang doesn't know much about Wang, he is still very clear about the grievances between Wang and Jia Min, and because Wang has tried to harm Jia Min many times, Xiao Zhang thinks that this second brother and sister is not a good person, let alone a good person. Therefore, after listening to Chunqiao's words, she also felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and instinctively thought that the two people brought back by the Wang family were not good people.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll let people check it out!"

In the evening, Jia Min stayed in Rongguo Mansion and had dinner with everyone. Xiao Zhang's set up this table of banquets according to the family banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the meals are very delicate and delicious.

During the banquet, Wang wanted to talk to Jia Min many times, but Jia Min cleverly avoided it every time, and Wang kept beckoning the maid behind him to give Jia Min a dish, all of which Jia Min likes to eat on weekdays, Jia Min didn't take the "flattery" deliberately shown by Wang in her eyes at all, and she didn't move a bite of the dishes that Wang's maid sandwiched for her.

After Jia Zheng saw it, he couldn't help frowning, and was a little dissatisfied with Jia Min's sister. Even if the Wang family has done a lot of sorry things for Jia Min before, but after so many years, Jia Min still refuses to let go, which seems a little too petty. Now that the Wang family is so "inferior" and "flattering" Jia Min, she is a sister-in-law, and being able to take the initiative to get close to Jia Min has already indicated that she admits her mistake and wants to improve the relationship between her sister-in-law, and Jia Min is so faceless that it can't help but make Wang's shameless, and it also makes him, the second brother, feel that Jia Min does not value the friendship between brothers and sisters.

"Sister! Your second sister-in-law had a bad temper in the past and offended her sister, and the second brother is here to make amends for her, so it's better for the family not to be so careful! ”

Jia Min put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Jia Zheng with a smile and said, "What do you mean by this, second brother?" I haven't done anything unruly to my second sister-in-law! However, when the second sister-in-law was in the boudoir, she planned to frame me, and after marrying the second brother, she wanted to harm me and even my son's life more than once. I see that her parents and second brother have never held her accountable in the face, right? But it is impossible for me to live in peace with a person who wants to kill me at any time, regardless of my past suspicions. If the second brother can still talk and laugh with her when facing his enemy, then the younger sister admires the second brother, and the younger sister thinks that she can't do it. Since they both know in their hearts that it is impossible to be like relatives, why force themselves? ”

Jia Zheng was gloomy by Jia Min's words, and being accused of hypocrisy by his own sister in front of him really made him feel angry.

"You...... You're amazing! Don't think that you are different now, and you have forgotten who your last name is! What kind of score do you put in front of your relatives! ”

Jia Min sneered and said, "If I really want to put your county lord's score, I'm afraid that the second brother and second sister-in-law shouldn't be here now!" ”

According to Daming's etiquette system, officials of the same grade and the wife of the edict are seated at the same table when they go to the banquet, and those of the lower grades are not allowed to drink at the same table with the high-grade ones. Strictly speaking, even if it is a family banquet, Jia Zheng and his wife need to sit at another table with Jia Lian and Lin Lang. Because Jia Daishan is a first-class national prince, and Jia Yu is the heir of Rongguofu, although the lord may be demoted in the future, but at least he will be a second-grade general, and it is very likely that the emperor will be a marquis. In this way, Xiao Zhang, the future hostess of Rongguo Mansion, will also have a second-grade fate. Isn't it what Jia Min said, if she is serious, Jia Zheng and his wife will not even be qualified to eat at the same table with her?

Jia Zheng was red-faced by Jia Min, but he couldn't say a word, only clenched his fists and gasped heavily.

None of the people present, including Jia Daishan, had any intention of helping Jia Zheng out of the siege, and Jia Daishan even smiled and gave Jia Min some of her favorite steamed sea bass.

"Eat it! This fish is most delicious when it is still hot, and it tastes fishy when it is cold! ”

Wang sat with her head bowed all the time, her fingernails clenched into her palms, and she endured the anger and hatred that was about to erupt, and ate the food on her dishes in silence, which tasted like chewing wax.

After going through this time, the Wang family clearly knew that Jia Min hated him to the core, and he would never help her sister Yuan enter the palace to participate in the selection of female history.

It's also that the Wang family is too anxious, the news of the selection of female historians in the palace has been released for many days, and a few days ago, she had secretly asked people to report Jia Yuanchun's name. If Rongguo Mansion has not been separated, they are still the second room of Rongguo Mansion, then Jia Yuanchun is really a little troublesome to enter the palace. The eldest lady of Rongguofu went to the palace to be a palace maid, didn't she lose the face of Rongguofu? Although she is a high-ranking female official, in the final analysis, she also serves people, and she also calls herself a slave in front of those nobles in the palace. That is, Jia Zheng and they have now been separated from the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Yuanchun is just the daughter of a five-grade official, which just meets the requirements of the palace to select female history, so that Jia Yuanchun will not only not be looked down upon, but may also be treated well by the nobles in the palace because his grandfather is the Duke of Rongguo.
