At the beginning, Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhong went to Ningguo Mansion to visit his sister, and when it was dark and he was about to leave, the housewife You Shi instructed him to send two boys to take him off.

As a result, Lai Er, the chief manager of Ningguo Mansion, sent Grandpa Jiao, who was seventy or eighty, and he was drunk.

Grandpa Jiao yelled and screamed, scolded Lai Er and scolded Jia Rong, and finally scolded the most thrilling words in the entire "Dream of Red Mansions":

"I'm going to the ancestral hall to cry my grandfather. Where can I hope to give birth to these beasts now! Every day, the family steals dogs and plays chickens, climbs the ashes, and raises the little uncle's ......"

The "stealing dogs and chickens" in his mouth, none of the masters and sons of the Jia family seem to be able to escape.

Who is the "little uncle's child"? This is another inconclusive mystery left by Cao Gong to later readers.

But the "climbing ashes" is undisputedly scolded by "Jia Zhen".

Jia Zhen has a personal relationship with her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing, and even Jiao Da knows it, how can other people in the house not hear about it? How can You Shi, who is pure on the surface, not mind?

Her husband has no face for herself, she doesn't dare to fight him head-on, and she may not be able to do some tricks behind her back.

Of course, this is Qingwen's own speculation, otherwise why did You Shi clearly say "send two boys", but Jiao Da was sent outside?

Could it be that the You family, the head of the Ning State Mansion, can't even assign the housekeeper in the mansion?

Although Jia Zhen is absurd, the concubine is married room by room, and even her daughter-in-law and sister-in-law are involved, but she still gives You Shi the dignity of being a housewife.

In managing the internal affairs of Ning Guofu, she was given enough power.

Therefore, Qingwen was very suspicious that the revelation of the most appalling scandal in Ning Guofu was planned by the You family behind the scenes.

So today, Jiao Da angered Jia Zhen, is there no shadow behind her?

Qingwen seriously suspected that You Shi had arrested this loyal old servant alone, deliberately instigated him to come out and scold Jia Zhen, and provided him with convenient conditions to enter the back house.

Otherwise, why could a male servant easily break into the back house?

She probably didn't expect that Jia Zhen was really angry and had to send Jiao Da to Zhuangzi and lock him up.

She was afraid, afraid that she would be angry and tell her behind her back, which would make Jia Zhen tired of her, so she came to Rongguo Mansion to ask the old lady for help.

"What is the old lady going to do?" Qingwen probably figured out the reason, frowned and asked.

"What about the old lady? Zuo just called Uncle Zhen to come, scolded him a few words, and made him change his mind. It's just that after all, it's Ning Guofu, and it's separated from the old lady, and the old lady can't say it deeply. ”

The mandarin duck pouted and said, "It's just that I don't want them to make too much trouble, lose the dignity of Ning Guofu, and even Rongguo Mansion is tired." ”

"Trouble my sister to go back to the old lady, Ningguo Mansion's affairs, if she feels that it is not good to interfere too much, let Grandpa Jiao go to Rongguo Mansion."

Qingwen pondered, "I want to ask the old lady to ask Grandpa Jiao to come over, and I will come to give him a pension and send him off." In this way, Uncle Zhen is out of sight and out of mind, and others will not laugh at the Jia family's mistreatment of loyal servants. ”

"My good girl, you can think about it, Grandpa Jiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't get drunk and even scold you." Mandarin duck stared at Qingwen with a pair of good-looking apricot eyes and shook her head again and again.

"I know that Grandpa Jiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, which one is trouble-free?"

Qingwen said firmly, "I believe that it is not for nothing that he is drunk and scolding." He is so loyal to the Jia family and the grandfather of the country, how can he bear to watch the absurd grandfathers of the Jia family ruin the reputation of their ancestors and ruin the family business of their ancestors?

I want him to come over and make good offerings to him and make him feel comfortable. I don't have any ridiculous people in my room, and I won't provoke him to curse. ”

The mandarin duck thought silently, what Qingwen said was not unreasonable, and then said: "Okay, I'll go back and tell the old lady, I'm afraid that Uncle Zhen will come over when it's late." ”

"Let the old lady hide it from Uncle Zhen first, don't tell him that I want someone, I want someone first." Qingwen sent the mandarin duck out of the yard and whispered.

She wants to be anxious, first, she sympathizes with this loyal old servant, her temper is so bad, even the masters dare to scold, this time the old lady helped him escape punishment, will there be such good luck next time? If it continues like this, I am afraid that sooner or later it will not end well.

She also has her own selfishness, she always feels that Jia Zhen will not let go of Third Sister You easily. How could he give up such a stunner? It's just that now the heart is occupied by a new favorite.

When his freshness passes, Third Sister You, who has not yet succeeded, is afraid that he will be remembered again.

She wanted Jiao Da to live in the workshop, so that she could bluff Jia Zhen and protect the third sister of Ichigo.

didn't tell Jia Zhen that he wanted someone, because he was afraid that Jia Zhen would understand her intentions and not give it to people.

You don't have to refuse the old lady openly, you can do it secretly, and deal with Uncle Jiao in advance.

……

Mother Jia is the oldest old lady in the Jia family's direct line, and she is still the only one.

The old lady's face is still very big, and as soon as she told Jia Zhen to hand over Jiao Da to her for disposal, Jia Zhen agreed after being busy.

When he returned to Ning Guofu, he asked Jiao Da, who was sleeping soundly tied to the pillar of the stable, to wake up with cold water, cleaned his mouth full of soil and horse manure, and poured several large bowls of sobering soup. changed into clean clothes and sent him to Jia Mu along with the deed.

Jiao Da woke up, and deliberately cleaned up, looking less sloppy.

There is unruliness in his eyes, as well as the sharpness and sharpness of those who have been on the battlefield, but he is very clear.

Qingwen hid behind the screen, silently looking at him, more and more determined in her thoughts.

This old man is not a random drunk and crazy, but there is nowhere to vent the anger in his heart.

"You go back first, I'll talk to Uncle Jiao." Jia Mu waved her hand at Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen immediately gave her leave.

Mother Jia waved her hand again, asking the maids and mothers-in-law around her to retreat, leaving only the mandarin ducks and Qingwen behind the screen.

Hearing that the mandarin duck said that Qingwen wanted Jiao Da, she hurriedly sent the little girl to call Qingwen over, just to let her take a look again, and then decide after reading it, do you still want Jiao Da to go over?

If Qingwen didn't want to, she would arrange another place for Jiao Da.

"Uncle Jiao, you are the one who followed Grandpa Guo when you were young, and I have to call you 'uncle' in terms of seniority. I remember that you didn't have such a temperament earlier, why did you even dare to be disrespectful to the patriarch of the Jia family now? Jia Mu said with a gloomy face.

"Old lady, old slave ......" Jiao Da glanced at Jia Mu's expression and hesitated, "The old slave is old and confused, and he can't listen to a few words of flattery from others, so he does stupid things when he gets angry." ”

"Tell me, what's going on?" The old lady said softly.

"Old slave ......" Jiao Da shook his head, even more hesitant.

"You can rest assured in my place, this girl is reliable, and no one will tell you what you say."

After sitting for too long, the old lady was a little tired, so she picked up the Zhuzhu herbal tea that the mandarin duck had brewed for her, and took a sip gently.

The old lady's eyes lit up, and her spirit couldn't help but perk, this tea tastes very light, but it has its own fragrance, which is not bad! Very good!
