Grandmother Jia's expression changed slightly and she glanced at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang said to Jia Baoyu with a smile,

"It's natural for a man to get married when he's old enough. Why does Baoyu ask this?"

Jia Baoyu looked at Mrs. Wang in confusion and said,

"Then why didn't you tell me? I could have congratulated my nephew Rong in advance!"

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment.

Grandmother Jia took over the conversation with a smile.

"Your nephew's marriage will be taken care of by your elder brother Zhen, so why worry about it?"

"If I tell you this for nothing, won't it disturb your mood for studying?"

Jia Baoyu immediately pretended to be unhappy when he heard this, and pouted his lips, pulling Jia Mu's hand and saying,

"Grandma, I don't want to study, I just want to be filial to you!"

Grandmother Jia laughed heartily.

"Haha, good! Good!"

Mrs. Wang's expression finally eased a little.

She had also heard about the marriage in the East Mansion, but she didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was just a marriage for a younger generation, and Jia Rong was not well-received in the East Palace.

So naturally, the Rongguo Mansion didn't take it too seriously, let alone arrange some people to help.

Just when everyone was having fun, a laugh was heard suddenly.

"I'm late!"

Jia Mu and the others all leaned over to look at the newcomer.

I saw a group of maids surrounding a person coming in from the back door.

This person was dressed differently from the other girls, with gorgeous and gorgeous clothes, like a fairy concubine.

She has a pair of red phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows. She is slender and has a coquettish physique. Her pink face contains spring power without revealing it, and her lips smell red before she smiles.

As soon as he came in, he greeted Lady Jia and everyone else with a smile.

"My wife has met the old lady, the madam, and the eldest madam!"

All three of them smiled and nodded, except for Mrs. Xing who looked a little unnatural.

However, some clues can be seen from the order of her greetings.

Jia Baoyu looked at the visitor and asked,

"Sister-in-law Lian, what are you holding in your hand?"

The person called Sister Lian was none other than Wang Xifeng, the wife of Jia Lian, the son of Jia She, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion.

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng raised the letter in her hand and said to Jia Baoyu with a smile,

"That's what you're talking about, Second Brother Bao. This is a letter that was passed in from the concierge when I first came in."

When everyone heard this, they all looked puzzled.

What kind of letter would Wang Xifeng actually hold in her hands?

You know, now Wang Xifeng is assisting Lady Wang in managing the Rongguo Mansion and holds a high position of power.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng's words immediately piqued everyone's interest.

Grandmother Jia smiled and shook her head and said to Jia Baoyu,

"Don't listen to her."

Then he feigned dissatisfaction and glanced at Wang Xifeng.

"If you keep showing off, no one will care about you anymore!"

Wang Xifeng saw that Guan Zi had almost finished showing off, so she raised the letter in her hand and said to Jia Mu with a smile,

"Old lady, I guarantee that you will feel very happy after reading this letter today."

Grandmother Jia looked suspiciously at the letter in Wang Xifeng's hand.

He squinted his eyes hard to see clearly, but Wang Xifeng pointed the envelope towards him.

Just as Jia Mu was about to speak, she suddenly remembered something.

A pair of old eyes that seemed dim suddenly opened wide and looked at Wang Xifeng.

The whole person was a little excited, and pointed at her with a trembling hand.

"Could it be a letter from Yangzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng clapped her legs and laughed.

"Even if it wasn't the old lady, I'd know who the letter was from without even seeing the letter itself!"

After laughing, he did not dare to make any excuses. He hurried forward and handed the letter to Lady Jia.

"Madam, the letter from the Yangzhou Salt Inspection Office, which was brought to the capital along with the imperial documents, has just arrived at our house."

Grandmother Jia took the letter and took a closer look. It was obviously signed by Lin Ruhai.

She hurriedly gave instructions to a maid standing behind her who was wearing a water-red silk jacket and a green satin vest.

"Yuanyang, quickly fetch my flower mirror!"

"Yes, old lady!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanyang quickly turned around and left.

Jia Baoyu looked at his mother, whose face was filled with sadness and a bit of excitement, and asked in confusion,

"Old lady, who is this letter from?"

Hearing this, Jia Mu's expression softened slightly. She clapped the letter in her hand and said to Jia Baoyu with a smile,
