Chapter 41: Rumors are spreading, and duckweed is rising

"What did you say?"

Hearing the rumors about Jiafu that suddenly appeared outside, Jia Zhengyan's face immediately changed slightly, and he hurriedly instructed the disciples of Jiafu to go out quickly to inquire about the specific news, what happened in Shenjing City recently, and how could such a thing happen.

"If it's a good thing, it's better to say, maybe it's a good luck; If this is a bad thing, I'm afraid it will really cause a lot of turmoil! No, I have to go to my clan brother to discuss this matter and draw up a specific protocol for dealing with it. ”

Jia Zheng thought about it, so he hurriedly put the brocade clothes hanging on the wooden frame on his body, opened the door from the house, and walked towards the courtyard where Jia Yu was.

The maids in the courtyard corridor saw that Jia Zheng's expression was wrong, and they also bowed down slightly and said, "Second master, okay." ”

Jia Zheng didn't say anything, just hurried away on his own.

"Today, what's wrong with the second master?"

"Look at the direction of the second master, it should be to go to the eldest master....."

"You go and report to the ladies and wives, so as not to anger the old man's brows if you don't know the inside story."

.....

These maids are all from their respective masters' families, and are responsible for serving Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others, so often after something big or small happens in the house, their first reaction is to go back to their own master and tell about this matter, so that their masters can take precautions in advance and be aware of it, so that they will not come to an end, and they are also black-eyed and ignorant.

Seeing that the maids had dispersed, Menzi, who had just inquired about the news of his return, returned to the courtyard and saw that Jia Zheng was not there, and heard from the maids that Jia Zheng had gone to Jia Yu's residence, so he turned his head again and went to the east without stopping.

The old lady of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu, lived in the west courtyard, and Jia Zheng followed Jia Mu to live in the west of Rongguo Mansion as the steward of the Inner Mansion, and Jia Yu's residence was in the east, which was originally the old garden of Rongguo Mansion, that is, the courtyard on the east side of Rongguo Mansion.

And the east side of Rongguo Mansion crossed the border is Dongfu, that is, Ningguo Mansion.

Because Jia Yu's courtyard opened the door independently, the door that came back to report the news went out of the west corner gate to the east, passed through the main gate of Rongguo Mansion, and saw the black paint gate, so the door stepped forward and knocked on the door

When the maids in the courtyard heard the movement, they saw the big maid Qiutong poking her head out of it, and after carefully identifying the identity of this doorman, she was willing to let him go.

After being released, Menzi walked in and stopped in front of the Yimen.

At this moment, Mrs. Xing was holding Daiyu's hand and entering the courtyard, and she also met this door, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "You come here." ”

"I've seen the eldest lady and Miss Lin."

Menzi is also a clever person, hearing Mrs. Xing's words, he quickly stopped, bowed his head and groveled, looking like a slave, and said flatteringly: "I don't know what the eldest lady is looking for the little one?" ”

"What's the bad thing about you rushing over just now?"

Mrs. Xing looked at Menzi, not angry, not salty and indifferent.

According to Mrs. Xing's understanding, everyone in Jiafu is very abided by the rules, and they have never been so eager on weekdays, so something important must have happened, which made this door confused, lost his mind, lost his inch, and messed up the etiquette, so he opened his mouth and asked questions.

Menzi was even more cold sweat on his forehead when he heard this, he was originally Jia Zheng's slave, living near Jia Zheng's courtyard, specializing in serving Jia Zheng, and he could have hidden when he encountered other things.

It's just that he felt Mrs. Xing's sharp eyes fall on him, and he also knew that he would not be able to escape this difficulty this time, and when he encountered the interrogation of the masters of such things, as a humble servant of Jiafu, he was helpless, so he had to sigh softly and said:

"The eldest lady doesn't know, there are rumors in the whole Shenjing City that the third master of our Qilin Zihuan in Jiafu has been allowed by the second wife, and in the next few days he will go south to Yangzhou to participate in the Enke County test, and the second master is also distressed because of this matter, so he asked me to go out and ask people about the specific news, and after I figure out the reason, isn't this in a hurry to rush back and report to the eldest master and the second master?"

Lin Daiyu stood next to Mrs. Xing, with five green white jade fingers, holding a handkerchief embroidered with the pattern of cranes and auspicious clouds in front of her beautiful face, and thought to herself: "This Jia Huan is going to Yangzhou?" If he goes to Yangzhou, will he go to see my father? ”

"I haven't seen this person for a few days, if I hadn't really seen it before, I'm afraid I would have to wonder if there is such a fairy son in my grandmother's family."

Lin Daiyu has a high impression of Jia Huan, just a quick glance, but it has already left an extremely deep impression on Lin Daiyu's heart.

It's just that Jia Huan has been closed to customers in recent days, and he has been in retreat all day long, and he doesn't meet outsiders much at all.

Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia were also out of a subtle mentality, happy to see it happen, and did not pay attention to such things.

The subordinates below followed the master's actions and looked at the master's face.

Since their own masters are unwilling to contact Jia Huan and deliberately cold Jia Huan, then they will not be bored to talk to Jia Huan alone.

To say that in the past, Jia Huan was often instigated by Aunt Zhao to do some misdeeds, which aroused the disgust of many masters.

Once the masters are disgusted with Jia Huan, the maids and disciples below will follow the footsteps of the masters to dislike and exclude Jia Huan.

Now that Jia Huan has changed, these disciples don't dare to have any thoughts of being contemptuous and slack off on Jia Huan.

Even these disciples sometimes wonder if Jia Huan will gain power in the future, completely break away from the real people of Rongguo Mansion, become developed, and become a big man with great ability, and then they, the subordinates of Rongguo Mansion, will have to rely on Jia Huan's snort to survive.

People who have offended Jia Huan before hope to get closer to Jia Huan and eliminate the previous misunderstanding.

People who have not been in contact with Jia Huan before are also willing to get close to Jia Huan and form a good relationship.

The people who used to target Jia Huan must also change their thoughts and positions.

Among these people, Mrs. Xing is one of them.

Mrs. Xing is the first wife in Jia's Mansion who is under Jia's mother.

However, Mrs. Xing's actual status cannot be mentioned, just look at Jia Yu's situation in Jia's mansion.

She also seems to be a foolish person, and she is cunning and despicable.

In the eyes of the next people, it is equivalent to Aunt Zhao and the like.

Now that Menzi was caught by Mrs. Xing, and saw Mrs. Xing bowing her head and pondering, she didn't see any movement for a long time, not to mention opening Chrysostom and letting him go, in fact, not only was he uncomfortable, but even his heart was tormented, and he was anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't feel comfortable.

Not to mention Menzi's careful thinking, Mrs. Xing is thinking about how to get closer to Jia Huan.

Mrs. Xing is the only person in Jiafu who looks at it, and there are only two people in total.

One is Jia Baoyu.

One is Lin Daiyu.

As for Jia Huan and Jia Lan and the like, to her, they are not any characters.

It's just that now the times have changed, and Jia Huan seems to have really risen, and there seems to be a tendency to catch up with Jia Baoyu.

As long as the spark shows the signs, it is worth pondering.

What's more critical is that several games between Mrs. Wang and Jia Huan all ended in Jia Huan's victory.

The current Mrs. Wang didn't dare to make things difficult for Jia Huan anymore, but completely let it go.

At this moment, such a well-known rumor is circulating in the outside world, and at this moment, Mrs. Xing is also thinking about whether Mrs. Wang really intends to let Jia Huan leave Jiafu to go to Yangzhou for the imperial examination, and release the news in advance, so as to ease the incompatible relationship between the two!

"Alright, you can go."
