In front of Jia Mu, Jiao Da was no longer arrogant.

Although Jia's mother is not as old as him and is still a woman's family, he doesn't dare to underestimate her at all.

This woman is not simple, she was stunned that after her husband died, she supported the glory of the Jia family alone for more than ten years.

What he admires most in his life is such a capable person.

"Old lady, Jiao Da is a good wine, everyone in the Jia family knows it, but the old slave is not a person who blindly drinks bad wine and borrows wine to spread wild when he is drunk."

Old Man Jiao wiped his chapped lips, and a wave of annoyance flashed in his cloudy eyes, "That day, the old slave was about to take a nap, and the chief manager Lai Er came to me with a jar of good wine, and tried his best to encourage me to drink a little. He kept urging me to drink, and I drank and drank too much.

Lai Er pulled me and cried, crying what glory and scenery the Jia family had back then? Now they are all ruined by the gentlemen who don't grow up.

Uncle Zhen spent 800 taels of silver to buy a skinny horse from Yangzhou and came back, and spent all day on the fox spirit, and he didn't even want his life, and he announced it in the daytime...... There is no shame either. ”

Jiao Da seemed to realize that it was not good to say these words in front of Jia Mu and Mandarin Duck, so he pursed his lips before saying, "Lai Er said, I helped the old lady fight this Jia family, and now that the old lady is gone, I should help the old lady keep it." I was flattered by him, and I became angry for a while, and I really ran into the back house.

Strangely, no one stopped me along the way, so I went straight to the concubine's courtyard. It wasn't until I woke up that I realized something was wrong. ”

What's so strange about this? Jia Mu's drooping eyelids didn't move.

In a high-rise mansion like Ning Guofu, the second and second gates, and each gate are guarded by people at all levels, who can transfer so many gatekeepers to open up, except for the housewife?

That You Shi looks docile and virtuous on the surface, but I also looked away?

Qingwen behind the screen was also secretly thinking, this thing was almost exactly the same as she had imagined.

It's just that You Shi is smart but is mistaken by being smart, and she doesn't want to think about it, how many times Jiao Da has experienced life and death, although he is a little older, but he is not confused, will make her design again and again and can't figure out the trick?

The old lady glanced at the mandarin duck, the mandarin duck turned her head to look behind the screen, and Qingwen nodded to her.

The mandarin duck nodded slightly to the old lady again, and the old lady said, "Uncle Jiao, now I want you from Zhen'er, and then arrange you to go elsewhere, are you willing?" ”

"Elsewhere?"

Jiao Da raised his head suspiciously, "The old slave once wanted to stay in the Jia family for the rest of his life and guard the Jia family for the old lady, but now I am unwilling, but I can't." Wherever the old lady wants me to go, I will do what you tell me to do. ”

"Qingwen, come out." The old lady cleared her throat and turned her head to shout.

Qingwen slowly turned out from behind the screen, walked in front of Jiao Da, and bowed to him: "Grandpa Jiao, would you like to go out of the house with me to live?" I've bought a new house, and you're going to help me guard the door. I will treat you as a grandfather, provide for you in your old age, and provide for you in your old age. ”

"Little master!" Jiao Da slammed his head on the ground.

As a male slave, he didn't know Qingwen very well, and at most glanced at her a few times from afar, but this did not prevent him from recognizing her as the master.

He has no children and no daughters, so it can be said that he has given his whole life to the Jia family, but he has always been a slave, and he is a slave who has no master's face.

He never dared to hope that someone would be able to provide for his dying man in his last years.

So, "there is wine today and drunk today", he often drunk himself, and then lay on the dirty kang and fell asleep.

When he fell asleep, he stopped thinking about the bad things.

Occasionally, when he is awake, he thinks, maybe in a few years, or a few months, a few days? He couldn't move, and he collapsed on the kang.

At that time, there was no one to take care of him, no one to serve him, and he couldn't even drink saliva, so he could only wait for death with his eyes open.

When he had enough of sin and died, the master Xu was merciful, rewarded him with a thin coffin, and found a place to bury him.

Maybe the master wouldn't even give him a thin coffin, but just took a broken mat and rolled it out, and the wild cats and dogs gnawed at his corpse.

Although he was unwilling, he was helpless, who made him just a lowly slave?

Now, there are people who are willing to take him in and give him this waste thing to retire and send him to the end of his life, how can he not be grateful?

"Grandpa Jiao, I can't help it!" Qingwen hurriedly reached out and picked up Jiao Da.

Although she is now accustomed to it, ancient people knelt down at every turn, but Jiao Da, a seventy or eighty-year-old man kneeling down to worship her, she was still a little uncomfortable.

"Grandpa Jiao, you go back to your house first, pack your belongings, and in an hour, I will let the carriage go to wait for you outside Ning Guo's mansion."

Jiao Da didn't hesitate, gave a salute to the old lady and Qingwen, and left with a step.

This Jia family, where he has been staying for decades, has indeed stayed enough.

Guarding the Jia family for his master is just his nonsense when he is drunk.

As long as he has a moment of sobriety, he will have a moment of soberness to realize that the Jia family is finished, even if the two ancestors crawl back from the underworld, they will not be able to save it.

It's rotten from the roots, and no one can save it, and he can't hold on to an old fellow who is about to die.

In this home, there is nothing left for him to cherish.

"Sunny girl, you come." Mother Jia beckoned Qingwen over.

Qingwen stepped forward slowly, sat on the footbed in front of the old lady, clenched her legs with her little hands in fists, and said softly: "Let the old lady suffer." ”

"It's okay, the good tea you sent, I only took a sip and felt refreshed."

The old lady stroked the broken hair on Qingwen's sideburns and sighed, "This kind of good thing gave me this old chaff heart radish, and I was blind." Don't take it out easily, in case Daiyu ......"

"Old lady, don't worry, I have Sister Daiyu's life-saving medicine ready at all times, and I will definitely not miss her. It's the old lady's body, but you have to take good care of it, and Daiyu and I will rely on you in the future. ”

"I know, if Daiyu and you are not arranged, I will be fine."

The old lady stroked her chest and said firmly, "Go and clean up, send Jiao Da out of the house, so that he will not be instigated by others and do something stupid, which will make Jia Zhen's nasty seed unhappy." ”

"Hey." Qingwen said yes and got up to leave.

Mother Jia took her hand again and gently admonished: "Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law in Dongfu is deep enough, I heard that you brought her stepmother and sister-in-law to you to do work, but you have to be careful with her." ”

"Well, the old lady is relieved."

Qingwen smiled, if it wasn't for the two of them, she wouldn't have to rush Jiao Da over.

……

Qingwen instructed her mother-in-law to set up a car, and she wanted to personally send Jiao Da to the workshop.

Jiao Da carried a dilapidated burden early and waited outside Ning Guofu, and when he saw the carriage coming, he jumped on the wheel and squeezed the driver of the car to the other side.
