Jin Jiashu did not answer again.

He seemed to be lost in thought, seriously considering Begonia's proposal.

Begonia didn't bother him, just stood there, looking at the sky, looking at the green grass, and the young leaves emerging from the flowers and trees, feeling the warm spring breeze.

Spring is really already here.

Haitang was in a good mood and watched his brother Haijiao come out of the room of Cao and Lu's two grandfathers and walk towards him.

Haijiao was still holding Jin Jiashu's letter in his hand, and when he saw him and his little sister standing at the door of the second courtyard, he couldn't help but show doubts: "What are you doing here?" ”

Jin Jiashu raised his head and looked at the letter in his hand puzzled: "Brother Hai, why did you bring my letter back?" Didn't Mr. Lu arrange for someone to help deliver the letter? ”

Haijiao smiled: "The messenger has been arranged a long time ago, and I am waiting in the gatehouse at this time." However, Grandpa Lu said, your letter is not sealed, it is better to go back and seal it first, and then stamp it more securely. The first two times you sent letters to the Zhenguo Mansion, the envelope was opened, and they understood that you could trust them, so they sealed it for you. Only this time, there was not only a letter in the envelope, but also attached drawings or something, bits and pieces, and if one fell out, it would be troublesome. Just in case, you might as well seal it up yourself. Grandpa Cao also asked you, don't you have your own seal? If not, another day he will find someone to carve one for you and ask you what style you like. ”

Jin Jiashu suddenly felt guilty of "spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", pursed his lips, lowered his head and took the letter, the tips of his ears were still slightly red: "It's my negligence, I'll go and seal the envelope." As he spoke, he turned and went back to his room.

Haijiao looked at his back and asked Haitang in a low voice: "Little sister, what did you just say here?" I looked at him with a different expression. ”

Haitang glanced around, and saw that there was no one in front of him, so he lowered his voice and told his brother about his proposal.

Hai Jiao was taken aback: "You asked Jin Jiashu to ask Concubine Xu Xian for help?" Will this work?! ”

Haitang pouted: "Do you think that if I don't persuade Jin Jiashu to speak, Concubine Xu Xian really won't arrange people?" Jin Jiashu lived in the Jin family before, and there was a nursing mother by his side, who was Concubine Xu Xian's old confidant, and he had always loyally supported the little master, and Concubine Xu Xian could rest assured. Now he lives alone in Chang'an, even if he has the protection of the Zhou family, it is not as good as when he was at home. Do you think Concubine Xu Xian can really leave it alone? As long as she can, she will send someone sooner or later. Let Jin Jiashu take the initiative to speak, maybe he can get closer to his biological mother, and let Concubine Xu Xian add a little more care and love to him. ”

There is some truth to this. Haijiao lowered his voice a little, "Even if Concubine Xu Xian wants to send someone...... She has been a palace person in Cining Palace for many years, although she has now been crowned a concubine and has given birth to the eighth prince, but in that situation in the palace, how many credible people can she win under the nose of Sun Guifei? If you borrow someone from Cining Palace, what is the difference between the queen mother's manpower and the Zhou family's manpower? It's the same whether it's pie or not. In the end, she may have to borrow someone from the emperor......"

Haijiao believed that once Concubine Xu Xian begged the emperor, the emperor would have another opportunity to plant people in Chang'an City. This is not necessarily a good thing for the Zhou family.

Haitang said disapprerovingly: "The emperor sent Tu Rong over, and the Zhou family did not guard against rejection everywhere, so he was not allowed to act freely?" It makes no difference if you send a few more people. Jin Jiashu, a young man who lives in a simple place, what is the use of having eyes and ears around him? What important news about the Zhou family can you find? The Zhou family has a lot of dealings with Jin Jiashu, that is, Zhou Yijun, when did the rest of the people come to his door? The emperor wants to install eyes and ears in Chang'an City, Tu Rong alone is enough to make a fuss, and soon there will be a new commander of the Chang'an avant-garde arranged by the Marquis of Yingchuan to take office. Is he guilty of making up his mind with Jin Jiashu? ”

Think about the reef too. The emperor is different from the Sun family. The Sun family still has to secretly cover people's eyes and ears, and anyone sent by the emperor is above board. Even if the Zhou family knew that it was the emperor's secret agent, what could they do? As long as the Zhou family doesn't want to turn their faces with the emperor, they can't let him go?

Haitang said: "Although the Zhou family also acts in violation of regulations on weekdays, they have never rebelled. Even if the emperor sends someone again, there is nothing to be afraid of. I just think that if the Zhou family has made up their minds to help the Eighth Prince succeed to the throne, then they will leave Jin Jiashu in Chang'an City to live, which is somewhat hostage, and it doesn't sound very friendly. The Zhou family didn't mean that, so don't let Concubine Xu Xian think that they have it. If Concubine Xu Xian sent her cronies over, saw with her own eyes how Jin Jiashu lived and studied in Chang'an City, and knew that the Zhou family would not treat him badly and did not detain him, then there would be no unnecessary suspicion between the two sides. ”

Haitang also mentioned that Jin Jiashu's letter to his "aunt" would not be sealed, and mentioned the various concerns he revealed: "The Zhou family does not know the real relationship between him and Concubine Xu Xian, when Jin Jiashu wrote the letter, because he was worried that the Zhou family would pass by, he would inevitably be restrained, and many words were difficult to say. He has never lived with his mother since he remembers, and the hints he wrote, can Concubine Xu Xian really understand them? If you don't guess correctly, will it be detrimental to the communication between the two parties?

"Brother, you and I have many ideas, and we have to count on Jin Jiashu to write a letter to Concubine Xu Xian to persuade them to realize them. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was because Jin Jiashu couldn't speak freely when he wrote the letter, causing your and my plans to fall through? Since Jin Jiashu has concerns about the message from the Zhou family, let Concubine Xu Xian send her cronies over. If she felt it was necessary, she could cross the Zhou family and take another secret communication route. In this way, Jin Jiashu can rest assured, and we can also borrow a light, right? ”

Hai Jiao thoughtfully said: "There is some truth in what you say...... Anyway, Concubine Xu Xian hid the affairs of the Zhou family, and the emperor knew about it. Even if she sent the emperor's henchmen, it wouldn't be a big deal. If the Zhou family can tolerate Tu Rong, they will be able to tolerate others. It's a big deal, I'll remind Zhou Yijun privately at that time, and let their family be cautious. ”

Haitang nodded, and said, "Furthermore...... I am also concerned about the existence of Mrs. Gui. Although she was frightened at the moment, no one dared to guarantee when she would run out and make trouble again. Although she didn't know the identity of Jin Jiashu's biological mother, she knew the existence of the Seven Princes, and it would be troublesome if she shouted indiscriminately outside. We were insiders, but we couldn't explain how we got the news. The Zhou family has been kept in the dark again. If Mrs. Gui goes mad, who can stop her? Tu Rong is inconvenient to deal with the female dependents, but if there is an old man from the palace who knows all the secrets, go and keep an eye on Mrs. Gui to prevent her from being a demon, and my brother and I will be able to worry a lot. ”

Haijiao sighed: "What the little sister said makes sense. Even if Concubine Xu Xian can't send someone to stay by Jin Jiashu's side for a long time, it would be good to send an insider to meet him and appease him. Their mother and son have never had a chance to talk about it, and Jin Jiashu is very uneasy. With such uneasiness, how could he really settle down to study? The imperial examination is not an easy task. Even in Shaanxi, if you want to make a name for yourself in the exam, you still have to pass five levels and kill six generals. He wanted to gain fame as soon as possible, so that he could go to Beijing to meet his 'aunt'...... Those trivial doubts that disturb people's hearts should be resolved as soon as possible. ”

Begonia smiled. She didn't know how talented Jin Jiashu was, but he had been delayed for so many years before, even if he was talented, it was not so easy for his wishes to come true. However, if the eighth prince can succeed to the throne smoothly, and when the Sun family falls, Jin Jiashu will enter Beijing to see his relatives as the nephew of Concubine Xu Xian, but he does not have to be promoted in the examination.
