Chapter 288: The Slave Who Is Ready to Move
"Then be it, if there is anything I need to do, the old lady will tell me again."
Jia Lian saw that there were even candidates, and knew that it was estimated that everything was almost arranged. Although there were some doubts in my heart, I didn't want to stimulate the old lady who was unhappy because her youngest son was "forced" to leave the house, so I planned to do this first.
Unexpectedly, Jia Mu stopped him: "Lian'er, you wait, you don't really think that I left Baoyu and the third girl just to tell them that the second master wants to continue the string." β
"Hmm", Jia Lian reached out and touched his nose, he actually knew that Jia Mu would not be so unreliable and boring. But it was precisely because of this that Jia Lian didn't want to accept this.
"Well, old lady, tell me something." Since he couldn't hide, Jia Lian simply became generous and went back to his seat directly.
Mother Jia also smiled when she saw Jia Lian's expression, but if she didn't slander this eldest grandson once, how could she take such a breath.
And Jia's mother also has to be like this, not to mention the three girls, Jia Lian has always taken good care of her, and the three girls themselves are also angry, thinking that they can find a good in-law in the future. But what about Baoyu?
When it comes to money, Jia's mother thinks that although her lifelong savings are not as rich as Jia Lian's, it is no problem to make Baoyu rich all her life.
Born in the public mansion, with Jia Lian here, I think Baoyu will not be bullied in the future.
But what about his marriage? Now that Jia Zheng is in the Mansion, although Baoyu is raised under her name, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.
Jia's mother herself is not unable to come forward to find a family affair for Baoyu, and even many people intend to marry Baoyu.
But Jia's mother was not very satisfied, especially after hearing about the family business that Jia Lian found for Xue Pan.
Of course, these words can't be said in front of Baoyu and Tanchun.
"Now that their Lao Tzu has left the house, although they are raised in my name, they still need you to take care of them."
Jia Lian understood, but said deliberately: "Don't worry, old lady, I have always admired the third sister, and I will cover her in the future, and I will definitely find a good family for the third sister." β
Jia Lian's words suddenly pierced the window paper, and Tanchun naturally couldn't sit down. I told Jia's mother and ran away.
Jia Mu sighed, waved her hand at Baoyu and said, "You can go back and rest too." β
Baoyu and Tanchun left, and Jia Mu pointed to Jia Lian, who was triumphant, and said, "You." β
"Hehe, ancestor, don't you want to talk about Baoyu's marriage. Why bother? β
Jia Lian knew very well that Jia's mother should have planned to use Tanchun to fight for more benefits for Baoyu. It is naturally impossible to be a slaughterer for an official, and Baoyu will not be willing, and Jia Lian will not agree.
But it's still okay to give Baoyu more money from Jia Lian. However, Jia Lian provoked Tanchun away with a few words, and blocked the rest of Jia's mother's words.
"Okay, I know you can definitely take care of the third girl, I won't talk about him. Baoyu, what do you say? β
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows: "What does the ancestor want, you can't want me to ask Baoyu for a shade seal, right?" β
When Jia Mu heard this, her nose almost crooked: "Fart, you understand what I want." Not to mention anything else, how much money have you made with the Xue family in the past few years? Xue Pan is comparable to Baoyu, didn't you also say a good family affair for him, or after the fifth surname, you can't say that Baoyu can't even compare to Xue Pan. β
The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched twice: "Baoyu is really not necessarily comparable to Xue Pan." Ancestor, you only see how much I helped the Xue family, why can't you see that Master Xue trusted the whole family back then, if I didn't help, my reputation would be stinky.
Besides, through the channel of the Xue family's Feng brand, how much less trouble has the expansion of Shun brand in Jiangnan been, and how much money has been earned, do you know? These are the reasons why I repay the Xue family so much. β
Jia Mu was speechless for a while, but she still began to be unreasonable: "Anyway, I don't care, I will leave Baoyu's marriage to you." β
Jia Lian glanced at Jia's mother helplessly: "Okay, ancestor, let's talk about it, this matter is over, and you can't find a future account in the future." β
"You don't have to worry about that."
On the side of the Japanese slaves, the Shuto mission had been in Edo for several days, and the Japanese seemed to have negotiated it. Every day, I rotate to treat guests, money, and beautiful women together, just to delay time.
And Tokugawasaki, since Xiuyuan showed up on the day, he went back and contracted the wind chill and couldn't look at things.
"My lord, the Japanese slaves are so shameless. They're deliberately delaying time. β
After going to the shogunate again and touching a soft nail, several members of the mission who came back finally couldn't help it.
Xiuyuan was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, the Japanese slaves are so hospitable, it doesn't hurt for us to stay for two more days." In addition to the fact that the food is really bad, we have a good life here. β
Because Xiu Yuan was really young, the few attachΓ©s sent to him by Jia Lian were all low-level officials of Honglu Temple, and they were not very old.
Now that Xiuyuan's joke is opened, everyone is happy. Although the Japanese slaves have dragged them these days, their treatment is very good. Not only did the beautiful women of the Japanese slaves be sent in exchange, but everyone received a lot of filial piety.
Although the Japanese slaves were poor, they were a large silver-producing country. It's just that because the local output of the Japanese slaves is not much, the silver is not needed.
These Dazheng officials received silver for filial piety, and it was naturally a lot of money to bring back to China.
"But my lord, it's not a matter that we're always like this, the Japanese slave woman is good, but it's not as good as Shenjing. We are not sent to the Japanese slaves, we always fail to complete our mission, and the princes of the court will also think that we are incompetent. β
Xiuyuan laughed: "Don't worry, it's not the same as before." In addition to His Majesty the Emperor, our Honglu Temple only listens to Lord Jia. This situation was expected by the adults before they left Beijing, so it doesn't matter, everyone just needs to do what I told you to do, and then enjoy it to the fullest. β
Since Xiuyuan said so, the others didn't say anything anymore, and left in twos and threes after saying goodbye.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Xiu Yuan pressed his temples tiredly.
"How's it going?" Xiu Yuan asked, looking at the empty living room.
"Our men have been surveying Edo Castle these days, and what is certain at the moment is that the war preparations for the Japanese slaves are almost ready.
Over the years, the family wealth accumulated by the sailor has basically been invested in Sasebo. However, because there was not much arable land in the Japanese slave country, and the Japanese slaves were in conflict for many years, there was a shortage of food, so they never started.
However, it is said that the Japanese slaves have bought a batch of grain from nowhere, but because our navy has blocked the port, it has not yet been transported to Sasebo. β
