Amnesty's daily life
Chapter 244
The Rongguo Mansion is divided into families, and the members of the Xue family have no right to speak.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xue's family is not that unreasonable person. After crying bitterly, she arranged for her servants to make two-handed preparations.On the one hand, he ordered people to go to the old house in the capital to repair and clean up what needed to be repaired; on the other hand, he personally led Xue Baochai to open the dowry, sorting out many precious items, and the two of them headed east together. Go to the courtyard.
To be honest, Xue Baochai was really unwilling.It's not that he doesn't want to ask Dafang, but that he doesn't want to be inferior in front of Wang Xifeng.From her point of view, all the girls and daughters-in-law in the Rongguo Mansion are inferior to her, including Sister Yuan, who has entered the palace and became a concubine, is also inferior to her.
It's a pity that her spirit is high, but her background is too poor, so she has no choice but to be inferior to others.Even so, Xue Baochai was still unwilling to beg Wang Xifeng.
"Mother, can't we go directly to Rongxi Hall? It's also good to ask the eldest lady."
Xue Baochai selfishly thought that the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion was a first-rank wife and was a generation older than her, so it didn't matter if she asked to come to her door or was declined when the time came, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.But if it was replaced by Wang Xifeng, who is still related to her peers, to be honest, Xue Baochai would feel very uncomfortable.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What are our identities, and what is his identity?" Mrs. Xue sighed, "Going to find Feng girl is because she is my natal niece, otherwise I can't say hello like this I just went to the door. If it was the eldest wife, she would not have to honestly send a greeting card, and she would have to see if she saw us."
Hearing this, Xue Baochai's face turned pale.
At this moment, she never understood the difference in identity.But isn't their Xue family an imperial merchant?Even if you can't get rid of the word "business", it is always different from other merchants.Besides, the four major families in Jinling have always been connected with each other, and the Rongguo Mansion warmly invited them to stay in the mansion back then, not to mention that they were related...
"Baby girl, Bao girl!" Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter worriedly. In fact, she didn't know what her daughter was thinking. Not only did she know, but she also understood.The reason is that she was not very happy to marry the Xue family at the beginning. As a daughter of the Wang family, even if she is the second daughter, she can still choose an official family to marry.It's a pity that her father, Mr. Wang Zhan Wang, insisted on letting her marry. The reasons are ready-made. She is the second-in-law daughter, and she doesn't look outstanding. …
Despite the fact that Mrs. Xue's life after marriage is very good. The husband respects both children and the wealth is countless.But even so, she knew that she would no longer have the opportunity to be equal to her direct sister, Mrs. Wang.Even if the Rongguo Mansion is divided, Madam Wang can still rely on her son, even if Brother Zhu is unreliable, she will be much more respected than herself as a merchant woman.
Thinking about her first half of her life, and looking at her daughter, who was beside her with outstanding appearance and figure, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
If she could still blame herself for not living up to expectations, what about her daughter?It's not her bragging as a mother, her daughter is really outstanding in everything, that's something that even Xue's father couldn't help but praise when he was alive, even Xue's father once said clearly that if Bao girl is a brother, the Xue family can protect her. Forever rich.
"Okay, don't think about it so much. I met Feng girl when I turned around. Your mouth should be sweeter. Don't call Lian's second grandma, but sister. You two are cousins after all, and the age difference is not that much. It's good to deal with them, and our family will inevitably rely on them in the future."
The so-called reliance does not necessarily mean that the Rongguo Mansion will really help them, but that when necessary, they can use the name of the Rongguo Mansion to scare people without being slapped in the face.But even if it's just like this, you have to make friends with the people in Rongguo Mansion first.Fortunately, Xue's family has a strong foundation, even if they lost a lot of money before, there is still a lot of money left, at least it is enough to buy Wang Xifeng.
"I see."
Xue Baochai replied indifferently, and at the same time lowered her head, not saying another word.
She understands the truth, but she is still unwilling to accept this fact.Even though he knew from a young age that merchants were looked down upon by officials and officials, he had never felt such a clear feeling before.It turned out that those girls and daughters-in-law who she looked down upon were all better than her, and they were more than a little bit better.And the strength here is mostly based on birth.
If her background could be better...
Like Sister Yuan, she can be cultivated and expected by the whole family, and enter the palace to serve the Holy Majesty.Like Sister Ying, who is obviously not as good as her in appearance and stature, and even has a strange temper, she can marry the eldest grandson of Zhang's family, who is a heir to the family of poetry and books.There is also Daiyu from the Lin family, Xiangyun from the Shi family, none of those sisters are as good as her, but they all marry better than her.
"Mother, I really really don't want to marry Baoyu."
After a while, looking at the small courtyard in the east, Xue Baochai said in a low voice next to Mrs. Xue's family.Of course, she also looked around before speaking, and after confirming that her words could not be heard by anyone other than Mrs. Xue, she boldly spoke out.In fact, this is not the first time she has mentioned this, but Mrs. Xue's family is always perfunctory, saying to wait for the beginning of spring, and then saying to slow down first, or else it is not easy to tear face with Mrs. Wang and so on.
But she doesn't want to wait!
Today is already the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, how many days are left before spring?Although the big and small elections only officially started in February and March, the names were reported early, who can enter the palace and who cannot enter the palace, these things should have been reported earlier.Not to mention, this is not a formal election for her, she is just choosing a servant for the princesses.
No, it really shouldn't be impossible to hear any news at all!
It was precisely because there was no news at all that Xue Baochai couldn't help but plan for the worst.What if she was pulled down?If she can't serve as a servant to the princesses, what should she do?There are many possibilities in the future, but the last thing she wants is to marry Baoyu as his wife.
"Oh, let's talk about it when we get back." Mrs. Xue sighed more this day than in previous years.However, if it was said that Baoyu looked okay before the separation, then the attraction after the separation suddenly became much smaller.Among the two children, Mrs. Xue's family loved Xue Pan more, but she also valued her youngest daughter very much. What she wanted was for her daughter to live a rich and worry-free life, not to sell her daughter for glory.
While speaking, he had arrived in the east courtyard.
The maids shuttled quickly in the courtyard. The layout of this small courtyard in the east was different from other courtyards in Rongguo Mansion. If the other courtyards were all square courtyards, then the east courtyard was somewhat similar to the Jiangnan courtyard.The houses are mixed with scenery, and the two are neither subordinate nor unrelated, but have a feeling of complementing each other. Even if it is still in the first month, it is exquisite and beautiful to look at. If it is in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom Come here, but I don't know what kind of picturesque scenery it should be.
At this end, the maids have already welcomed the Xue family's mother and daughter in. At the other end, Wang Xifeng finally finished her work, and just had time to rest on the kang, when she heard the maid's report, she immediately ordered the servants Take it directly to the warm pavilion.
"Why did Mrs. Xue come to me specially? If you miss me, it's time for me to visit you." Wang Xifeng sat on the warm kang in the East Nuan Pavilion, holding hot tea in her hand and carrying a cup of tea in her arms A hand warmer, Qiaoxiao Qianxi looked over.
Because the Rongguo Mansion itself was in a mess due to the separation of the family, the mother and daughter of the Xue family couldn't sit in the soft sedan chair, and they came here in a hurry in fur clothes.Fortunately, this year's winter is not too cold, and there is no snow today, but even so, the two of them are a little bit cold, but as soon as they entered the house, they heard Wang Xifeng say that Mrs. Xue's family is fine, still She could laugh, but Xue Baochai couldn't help lowering her head and pursing her lips.
The Xue family came to Beijing in the early spring of last year, and it has been almost a year now, but Wang Xifeng has never been to Qinyuan, and even occasionally met in Rongqingtang and other places, and most of them just nodded perfunctorily say hello.Expect her to go to Qinyuan to visit her aunt?Dreaming is faster!
It's a pity that Xue Baochai can only think about these words in her heart, she dare not say them, and she can't say them.
While thinking about it, the maids had already brought hot tea and cakes, Xue Baochai just lowered her head and held the tea in her hands without saying a word, letting Mrs. Xue's family lick her face and praised from the yard to the house, and then to the decorations in the house, and then extended To hot tea, pastries and more.In short, I have praised all I can, except for a stamp of "I am here to ask for help" stamped on my face.
To be honest, it's really embarrassing.Especially coupled with Wang Xifeng's meaningful smile, Xue Baochai only felt that his complexion was slightly hot, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Looking at Mrs. Xue's family, maybe she doesn't have the good looks, figure, and scheming that a daughter of the Wang family should have, but at least she has a thick skin.While laughing, she praised Wang Xifeng that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth, and at the same time, she was still thinking about how to lead the topic away later. She couldn't tell that she had cried several times before, and of course this had to be covered up by the thick powder on her face. Otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago.
No matter how you say it, Wang Xifeng is always a smiling tiger. Don't say that Mrs. Xue's family is really her aunt. Even if she is a relative who is out of reach today, she will greet her with a smile. As if he could take the opportunity to make a fortune, but when he encountered the latter, he weighed how much money he would need to send him away politely.
— There is essentially no difference.
Patiently listening to Mrs. Xue's words for a quarter of an hour, Wang Xifeng suddenly said: "Hurry up and change Mrs. Xue's cup of hot tea, it's getting cold." Then she smiled and looked at Mrs. Xue's, "Will you Is the tea from my place as good as yours?"
Is this a different way to dislike Mrs. Xue's talkativeness, or is it reminding her to get down to business quickly and treat everyone as idle as you?
Mrs. Xue's family is the Wang's daughter who is the least like a Wang's daughter, but she has lost her mind anyway. After hearing this, she finally couldn't care less, and hurriedly said: "Feng girl, our family will not talk about it. The two families talk about this matter... After thinking about it, I still need to ask you for help."
Wang Xifeng sneered inwardly, which one is your family?Thinking about the rich family background of the Xue family, he had to chuckle patiently and said: "Look at what you said, I am young and have not experienced much, how can I help you? Mrs. Xue If you have something to say, if you can help, I will not refuse, but if you can't help, then I have nothing to do."
"If you can help, you can help." After all, Mrs. Xue's relationship with Wang Xifeng is too little. If she were Mrs. Wang, she would leave early in the morning after hearing this.Obviously, what Wang Xifeng meant by this was to see if there is any benefit, and as for the help... definitely not to help.
It can only be said that Mr. Wang Zhanwang still had good eyesight back then, at least he could see that his little girl was useless.
On the other hand, Xue Baochai heard the voice, but when she raised her eyes and saw Wang Xifeng's full face, she suppressed the doubts in her heart again.
In the end, it was because the members of the Xue family didn't know Wang Xifeng well enough.
It was precisely because of lack of understanding that Mrs. Xue's family said a lot of words and left a lot of important gifts, but in the end all she took away was a light sentence from Wang Xifeng: I want to go back and ask my second master.
——Your second master Lian said that you have never heard what he said! !
Xue's mother and daughter left with anticipation and apprehension.In fact, if Wang Xifeng was more enthusiastic, Mrs. Xue would like to ask Xue Baochai about it, or ask Wang Xifeng to take her to Rongxi Hall to meet Nala Shuxian, or make an appointment for the next meeting.Unfortunately, neither.
When Xue's mother and daughter left, Wang Xifeng only asked someone to squeeze her shoulders and beat her back.
"I really have plenty of free time. I'm not in a hurry to pack up my bags and move out, but I'm still messing around here. My waist, for some reason, I'm getting tired. By the way, go and see Xue's house What did you bring?"
I also knew that the gift from the Xue family would definitely not be light, but when the maid came to tell the time, Wang Xifeng was still taken aback.
A set of mutton fat jade noodles, a set of five-color teacups from Ding Kiln, a pair of five-color porcelain vases with ice plum and butterfly patterns, a red sandalwood gilded kang screen, and more than a dozen horses of gorgeous and exquisite satin...
Each of them is considered a fine product individually, and together they are conservatively estimated to be worth 3 taels of silver. The key is that many things are priceless.It can even be said that, just for the set of mutton fat jade noodles, it is no problem to take it outside and change it to a three-entry house.With so many rare gifts put together, even Wang Xifeng felt a little worried.
When Brother Lian came in, what he saw was Wang Xifeng staring at the things on the kang in a daze.
"you are silly?"
How else could it be said that among the brothers and sisters, brother Lian was the one who was bullied the most?Don't look at him as the eldest brother, but sometimes he can't speak too much, but he doesn't have the ability of Jia She, and his temper is extraordinarily soft, if he doesn't bully him, who will he bully?
Wang Xifeng gave him a sideways look, and immediately said the matter straightforwardly: "...I definitely want to stay in our house and not move out, tsk, it's a beautiful idea, and you have a thick skin!"
It's a pity that these words did not reach Mrs. Xue's family, otherwise, if she knew that she had been busy for half a day and got such words, she might have died of anger.
"Then what are you going to do?" Brother Lian would never think that Wang Xifeng would intercede for the members of the Xue family. This is not a question of whether the gift is expensive enough, but that he knows very well that his wife's face is no thinner than that of the Xue family. .Isn't it just a gift?Receive first.As for the things to be done, it is natural to discuss them slowly first.
After half a moment, Wang Xifeng suddenly slapped his hands: "Call the doctor."
Sure enough... "What the hell? It's so good, what kind of doctor are you calling?" Brother Lian was dumbfounded, this daughter-in-law didn't play cards according to the rules at all!What does this mean, accusing the Xue family of giving the wrong gift and making her mad?
Wang Xifeng ignored him directly, and ordered the gift to be put away with a relaxed expression, and additionally said: "Put away the set of mutton fat jade noodles separately, and add it to my sister's dowry later."
Brother Lian: "..." The dowry is so big!My daughter is only one and a half years old!
However, Brother Lian didn't have the guts to challenge Wang Xifeng, he privately thought it was unnecessary, since good men don't fight women after all.
Another quarter of an hour later, the doctor entered the gate of the small courtyard on the east side, and because Brother Lian was present, Wang Xifeng hid behind the tent without any hindrance, and asked someone to take out a cap and put it on carelessly in front of Brother Lian. My son's face, good at letting the doctor diagnose.
"Congratulations to the second master Lian, congratulations to the second grandma Lian, this is a joy!"
Wang Xifeng calmly ordered people to reward the money, but she still didn't forget to slander in her heart that it was because she was happy, not that idiot brother Lian was happy.When she turned her head and saw Brother Lian's bewildered look, she became even more angry.
"Why are you still here in a daze? There are at least two quarters of an hour before the time to hold the lamps. Second Master, you can't bother to go to Rongxi Hall? Or are you going to let me, a weak woman, go to Rongxi Hall in the cold? Annunciation?"
As soon as these words came out, Brother Lian came back to his senses, but still stared at Wang Xifeng with straight eyes, half helpless and half questioning: "What the hell are you trying to do, girl Feng? Let's just say it straight." , save me the trouble of guessing later.”
"What am I going to do? What else can I do? One, pick a good day to tell the mansion the good news; two, take the opportunity to put aside other things to give birth and take care of yourself; three, I'm a pregnant woman Of course, you can't worry about other things, the Xue family's affairs...whatever you want!"
Brother Lian was speechless.
After a while, Brother Lian simply got up and wanted to leave. After the door curtain was lifted, he turned around and said, "What do you want to do? First, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the gap in the separation of the family and suffer a lot later; second, Well, I was thinking that Zhongfu would be able to palm for one more day, and by the way, I would tell others when I sat down for a few more days; three, you just looked at the fact that there is no one in Xue's family, and you took advantage of it and stopped working!"
As soon as the words fell, Brother Lian immediately turned around and ran away. Wang Xifeng was so angry that she rolled her eyes at the knife behind her, secretly thinking that if she ran enough, she couldn't close the temple! !
<<
On the other side of Rongxi Hall, Jia Amnesty had already put aside the matter of the separation of the family, and began to concentrate on researching which family to give to his sweetheart Twelve House.
This Princess Yonghua is of the first grade, the Duke's Mansion will be slightly reduced by one point, and the Hou's Mansion will be increased by one more point. I also think that the closer the Princess Mansion is, the more convenient it will be to go home in the future, and I will be able to see more. As for his son, Jia She simply focused on his family's old friends.Based on the idea of eating more and occupying more, Jia Amnesty quickly put aside the Hou Mansion, planning to take the Duke's Mansion directly. In the end, it only needs to be slightly reduced on the surface, which is much easier than building more, and it also saves money. too much.
Emperor Taizu bestowed four kings, eight lords and twelve lords, among which the eight lords were: Zhenguo Gong Niuqing, Liguo Gong Liu Biao, Qi Guogong Chen Yi, Zhiguo Gong Ma Kui, Xiuguo Gonghou Xiaoming, Sanguogong Shi Yin, and Ningguo Gong Jiayan and Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan.
Jia Amnesty listed Hachiko in detail on the paper, sat cross-legged on the heated kang, and pondered over the list.
Seeing this, Nala Shuxian craned her neck to take a special look, seeing that he even wrote her own house and the house next door, she felt helpless.Recalling the rumors in the market, the words that the Grand Master She of Rongguo Mansion went crazy and even made his own family look like that made sense.
Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard Jia She muttering to himself.
"It should be close to our home, and the mansion should be well-repaired and well-preserved. It is best to have a smaller population, a smaller house, and a better view. It would be even better if there are more gardens or a large pool... Isn't this It’s next door to the East Mansion!!”
Nala Shuxian: "..."
"It doesn't work, the Dong Mansion next door has paid back all the money owed, and there is no shortage of money, and now Xiao Rong'er is in charge of the house, so there is no reason to let them go." Jia She sighed repeatedly, with a frown on his face.
Hearing what he said, Nala Shuxian wisely decided to shut up. After all, normal people and lunatics have no common language.You said Jia She is not crazy?As long as his mind is normal, he won't think about going to Dong Mansion next door.The Ningguo Mansion recruited him to provoke him?Obviously, all these years, he was the one who took the initiative to provoke the other party!Even though Nala Shuxian didn't have any deep feelings for the Dongfu next door, she also felt that Jia Amnesty was too absurd and unreasonable.
"Oh, the time is still too short. Otherwise, it would be great if I coaxed Brother Zhen and Rong'er to go to the casino, and coaxed them to ruin their family fortune. Wouldn't I be able to accept it? It's a pity, the time is too short Well, the Holy One gave me less than three months, and I have to deduct the period of the New Year's Eve. There's no way to overthrow the East Mansion next door..."
At this moment, La Shuxian suddenly understood Jia's mother, sometimes Jia Amnesty is really nothing! !
"The Duke of Zhen's mansion has also paid back the money owed, and their ancestors once saved my grandfather on the battlefield, no." Jia Amnesty pondered for a long time, then pinched a mark on the Duke of Zhen's head with his finger, which was considered to be crossed out. .After thinking about it again, Duke Li was also crossed out.
When La Shuxian listened to nothing, she raised her eyes and saw Jia She staring at a certain point on the paper with a look of bitterness and hatred.
At that moment, Nala Shuxian became curious, and moved her body to take a closer look, only to find that except for Duke Qi's mansion, the other seven houses had been crossed out.
——Speaking of which, Mr. Xi, why do you have to add your own family?
Nala Shuxian followed Jia She's gaze, stared at the three words "Qi Guogong" for a long time, and then said tentatively: "Master, have you made a decision?"
"No. But I don't have any other good options. Four kings and eight kilometers away, the best place to bully is the Duke of Qi's mansion besides the next door East mansion." Jia She sighed, "But they are far away from our house. , I still think the Dongfu next door is the most suitable."
Once again, Nala Shuxian was choked and speechless.
Yes, Ningguo Mansion is of course suitable. They are all on Ningrong Street, one is on the east street and the other is at the end of the west street.On a short street, there were only their two mansions, which belonged to the door-to-door, so they didn't need to take a special car.If you go through the side door, it will be closer.
But the problem is, that's my family! !
"Master, hasn't the other end of the East Mansion provoked you lately?" Nala Shuxian hesitated for a while, but decided to say something nice for that end.The point is not that she is kind, but that she is not as cheap as Jia She.
"No." Jia Amnesty turned his face to the side and gave her a strange look, "Why do you ask that? When did the other side of the East Mansion offend me? Even counting Jia Jing's incident, he didn't mean to provoke me. Except Other than him, the entire East Mansion is either a wimp or a coward, how dare you provoke me."
"Then why do you keep staring at their house?" Nala Shuxian couldn't help asking.
"Because it's close, everything else is fine." Jia Amnesty went back to staring at the paper in his hand, looking back and forth from Ningguo Mansion to Qi Guofu.
Hearing what he said, besides feeling that Jia She is really a bastard, Nala Shuxian finally deeply understood what is the crime of being pregnant.The Ningguo Mansion didn't do anything good, but was targeted by Jia Amnesty just because of a reason of being close?In this regard, Nala Shuxian can only pray that Emperor Tai'an will not be so unreliable, or...
"I think the Qi State Mansion is pretty good."
In line with the idea that a dead fellow Taoist would not die a poor one, Nala Shuxian decisively diverted the trouble, especially when she remembered another thing.
"Master, do you still remember the situation when my niece Xiao Lingdang just married into the Bowling Marquis Mansion many years ago? She was a poor child when she was young. She lost her mother and almost used herself as a mother to drag her younger brother up. The Marquis Bowling who was married was weak, and she was still pregnant at that time..." Nala Shuxian recalled briefly, and seeing Jia She looked at her with a puzzled expression, she suddenly remembered Another possibility, he said in a hurry, "I didn't ask Master to deal with the Bowling Marquis, really not."
"Oh, I was also thinking that if we couldn't handle the Duke's Mansion, we would use the Twelve Marquis to do the surgery. Except for the historians, the people around us have no friendship with us." Jia She said casually.
Nala Shuxian broke into a cold sweat in her heart for others, and continued her efforts: "I just talked about my niece, Little Bell. At that time, Mrs. Hou Ye passed away suddenly, and someone made a fuss about it. It is said that she is pregnant with the Lone Star of Heavenly Fiend, master, do you still have any impression of this?"
Jia She looked at La Shuxian speechlessly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Didn't you say that it was the second sister-in-law of Master Baoling who did it? Later, I forced their family... that's right, The second wife of the Shi family is the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion!"
"Yes." Nala Shuxian already understood that there must be a family in the capital that is going to be unlucky, and she didn't want to turn around and Jia Amnesty would not be able to find a good one. Once again, she was thinking about going to the East Mansion next door, and she simply made up her mind to kill the Qi State Mansion. Come on, anyway, the two don't have a deep friendship.
"I understand what you mean, is this the only one?" As he spoke, Jia Amnesty hesitated again, "The road is a bit far away, besides, the Qi State Mansion has been in decline for a long time, I am afraid that the houses are not in good condition, let alone Not to mention the scenery. I... still think the East Mansion next door is the most suitable."
The Dong Mansion next door owed him something in his previous life? !
"The Qi State Mansion is very good. The distance is one thing. But if you think about it carefully, only the Qi State Mansion is the most useless eight kilometers away. However, which other people don't have relatives and friends? It depends on the situation. Whole body, once things go wrong and troubles arise, wouldn’t it be a good thing to delay March? That is Qi Guofu, their family has been single-passed for several generations, and they marry girls from declining families. The only one who is still reliable is also It's the one who married into Marquis Bowling's mansion. But it's okay, Marquis Bowling will definitely not fight against you, Master, because of his sister-in-law."
This is the truth. Maybe others can hide the shit about the historian, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the Rongguo Mansion.
With Lord Baoling's temperament, it is impossible for him to deliberately target his second brother, treat him harshly or even take revenge.However, Lord Baoling did not do nothing. On the one hand, he tried his best to hug Jia Amnesty's thigh, on the one hand, he worked tirelessly in the Ministry of Punishment, and on the other hand, he spared no expense to clear the way for his third brother.Up to now, he has a smooth official career and a stable position, and the youngest historian has also become a general two years earlier, and was conferred the title of Zhongjinghou by Emperor Tai'an some time ago.
There are two historians in one family, and Lord Bowling, who inherited the title of his ancestor, was born in the imperial examination. The hair set off the uselessness of the second child of the historian.
And the second child of the historian is the son-in-law of Qi Guofu.
"Well, let's go to his house." Jia She finally made up his mind, but his face was still calm. Seeing that La Shuxian was staring at him, Jia She only smiled wryly and shook his head, "I still feel that the Dong Mansion next door It is the most satisfactory. However, the Qi State Mansion can barely do it. Now we can only settle for the second best."
Nala Shuxian deeply believed that if this word reached the ears of those two families, no one would thank Jia She, that old bastard.
Suddenly, a servant girl's call came from outside, but it was Brother Lian who came over.
"Why did Lian'er come here so late?" Nala Shuxian was very suspicious. Although the Lantern Festival is a time for family reunion, isn't this year a special case?After all, if Dafang is reunited, maybe they should go to Jiamu's side. It is only reasonable for the whole family to get together.Because Jia Amnesty didn't even want to do the last superficial article, so he ordered to go on, and this year each will live his own life, and the left and right are not bad.
While talking, Brother Lian has already come in.
"I'm here to announce the good news to you." Brother Lian had a strange look on his face, "Sister Feng called the doctor just now, and the doctor said that she is happy."
"Really?" Jia She's eyes lit up. Although he thought that Xin'er was a great granddaughter, after all, brother Lian was the future successor, so he needed a son.Although we don't know men and women now, it is a good thing to be happy.Besides, it is said that it blooms first and then bears fruit. I already had a flower-like little Xin'er before, and this time it is definitely a leader.
Brother Lian nodded: "Yes. But..."
"Say it straight, don't babble like a little girl! Hmph, the second girl doesn't have any ink marks on you." Seeing him like this, Jia She couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter? It's your daughter-in-law. What's the matter?"
"Forget it." Brother Lian hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Some time ago, Mrs. Xue went to my place and brought a bunch of expensive gifts, which should be worth tens of thousands of taels at least. Sister Feng accepted all of them, but she didn't intend to help Xue's family at all, so she planned to take advantage of the fact that she was pregnant to pretend to be ill."
Nala Shuxian didn't know how many times she was choked up and had nothing to say today, and she finally realized clearly that most of her family members were top-notch, even the daughter-in-law who came in later was no exception.Suddenly, she remembered the character of Princess Yonghua whom she had inquired about at the twelve places earlier, and deeply mourned for the Lin family sister.
Both of these are not good things. After the sister of the Lin family gets married in the future, maybe she will spend more time to help her.Otherwise, just this nest of wolves, wouldn't they scare people out of their wits?
Just as she was sighing, Nala Shuxian heard Brother Lian say again: "I reckon the Xue family has nothing else to do, maybe they just don't want to move out. Anyway, I told you about it, Sister Feng. Head, I think she only intends to receive gifts and not to do anything, so you can do whatever you want."
"What can I do? What can I do? Jia Zheng is gone, and Xue's family still has the face to stay? Hurry up and get out, so that I can flatten the west side and rebuild it. Just wait for Cong'er to get married and move in." That way, Jing'er can live in Cong'er's yard. When Xiao Wu grows up, let him live in Zhu'er's yard."
Jia Amnesty has already planned it out, how can anyone allow others to disrupt his plan?
Of course, if that person is someone like Emperor Tai'an who he can't afford to offend, it's a different matter.But what is the Xue family?All fuck off!He is not rare for such relatives!
Soon, brother Lian ran away, anyway, he had already brought the words to him, although his wife was a bit brazen, but it was not a big problem.What I am most afraid of is not taking money and not doing things, but not knowing how to do anything.However, he also realized that his daughter-in-law was a little greedy, and thought about finding an opportunity to have a talk with her. This yellow and white thing is pleasing to the eye, but he has to pay attention to the right way to get it?
——Looking for money from Xue's family, it seems to be barely considered the right way?
Fortunately, Mrs. Xue's family is not that unreasonable person. After crying bitterly, she arranged for her servants to make two-handed preparations.On the one hand, he ordered people to go to the old house in the capital to repair and clean up what needed to be repaired; on the other hand, he personally led Xue Baochai to open the dowry, sorting out many precious items, and the two of them headed east together. Go to the courtyard.
To be honest, Xue Baochai was really unwilling.It's not that he doesn't want to ask Dafang, but that he doesn't want to be inferior in front of Wang Xifeng.From her point of view, all the girls and daughters-in-law in the Rongguo Mansion are inferior to her, including Sister Yuan, who has entered the palace and became a concubine, is also inferior to her.
It's a pity that her spirit is high, but her background is too poor, so she has no choice but to be inferior to others.Even so, Xue Baochai was still unwilling to beg Wang Xifeng.
"Mother, can't we go directly to Rongxi Hall? It's also good to ask the eldest lady."
Xue Baochai selfishly thought that the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion was a first-rank wife and was a generation older than her, so it didn't matter if she asked to come to her door or was declined when the time came, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.But if it was replaced by Wang Xifeng, who is still related to her peers, to be honest, Xue Baochai would feel very uncomfortable.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What are our identities, and what is his identity?" Mrs. Xue sighed, "Going to find Feng girl is because she is my natal niece, otherwise I can't say hello like this I just went to the door. If it was the eldest wife, she would not have to honestly send a greeting card, and she would have to see if she saw us."
Hearing this, Xue Baochai's face turned pale.
At this moment, she never understood the difference in identity.But isn't their Xue family an imperial merchant?Even if you can't get rid of the word "business", it is always different from other merchants.Besides, the four major families in Jinling have always been connected with each other, and the Rongguo Mansion warmly invited them to stay in the mansion back then, not to mention that they were related...
"Baby girl, Bao girl!" Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter worriedly. In fact, she didn't know what her daughter was thinking. Not only did she know, but she also understood.The reason is that she was not very happy to marry the Xue family at the beginning. As a daughter of the Wang family, even if she is the second daughter, she can still choose an official family to marry.It's a pity that her father, Mr. Wang Zhan Wang, insisted on letting her marry. The reasons are ready-made. She is the second-in-law daughter, and she doesn't look outstanding. …
Despite the fact that Mrs. Xue's life after marriage is very good. The husband respects both children and the wealth is countless.But even so, she knew that she would no longer have the opportunity to be equal to her direct sister, Mrs. Wang.Even if the Rongguo Mansion is divided, Madam Wang can still rely on her son, even if Brother Zhu is unreliable, she will be much more respected than herself as a merchant woman.
Thinking about her first half of her life, and looking at her daughter, who was beside her with outstanding appearance and figure, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
If she could still blame herself for not living up to expectations, what about her daughter?It's not her bragging as a mother, her daughter is really outstanding in everything, that's something that even Xue's father couldn't help but praise when he was alive, even Xue's father once said clearly that if Bao girl is a brother, the Xue family can protect her. Forever rich.
"Okay, don't think about it so much. I met Feng girl when I turned around. Your mouth should be sweeter. Don't call Lian's second grandma, but sister. You two are cousins after all, and the age difference is not that much. It's good to deal with them, and our family will inevitably rely on them in the future."
The so-called reliance does not necessarily mean that the Rongguo Mansion will really help them, but that when necessary, they can use the name of the Rongguo Mansion to scare people without being slapped in the face.But even if it's just like this, you have to make friends with the people in Rongguo Mansion first.Fortunately, Xue's family has a strong foundation, even if they lost a lot of money before, there is still a lot of money left, at least it is enough to buy Wang Xifeng.
"I see."
Xue Baochai replied indifferently, and at the same time lowered her head, not saying another word.
She understands the truth, but she is still unwilling to accept this fact.Even though he knew from a young age that merchants were looked down upon by officials and officials, he had never felt such a clear feeling before.It turned out that those girls and daughters-in-law who she looked down upon were all better than her, and they were more than a little bit better.And the strength here is mostly based on birth.
If her background could be better...
Like Sister Yuan, she can be cultivated and expected by the whole family, and enter the palace to serve the Holy Majesty.Like Sister Ying, who is obviously not as good as her in appearance and stature, and even has a strange temper, she can marry the eldest grandson of Zhang's family, who is a heir to the family of poetry and books.There is also Daiyu from the Lin family, Xiangyun from the Shi family, none of those sisters are as good as her, but they all marry better than her.
"Mother, I really really don't want to marry Baoyu."
After a while, looking at the small courtyard in the east, Xue Baochai said in a low voice next to Mrs. Xue's family.Of course, she also looked around before speaking, and after confirming that her words could not be heard by anyone other than Mrs. Xue, she boldly spoke out.In fact, this is not the first time she has mentioned this, but Mrs. Xue's family is always perfunctory, saying to wait for the beginning of spring, and then saying to slow down first, or else it is not easy to tear face with Mrs. Wang and so on.
But she doesn't want to wait!
Today is already the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, how many days are left before spring?Although the big and small elections only officially started in February and March, the names were reported early, who can enter the palace and who cannot enter the palace, these things should have been reported earlier.Not to mention, this is not a formal election for her, she is just choosing a servant for the princesses.
No, it really shouldn't be impossible to hear any news at all!
It was precisely because there was no news at all that Xue Baochai couldn't help but plan for the worst.What if she was pulled down?If she can't serve as a servant to the princesses, what should she do?There are many possibilities in the future, but the last thing she wants is to marry Baoyu as his wife.
"Oh, let's talk about it when we get back." Mrs. Xue sighed more this day than in previous years.However, if it was said that Baoyu looked okay before the separation, then the attraction after the separation suddenly became much smaller.Among the two children, Mrs. Xue's family loved Xue Pan more, but she also valued her youngest daughter very much. What she wanted was for her daughter to live a rich and worry-free life, not to sell her daughter for glory.
While speaking, he had arrived in the east courtyard.
The maids shuttled quickly in the courtyard. The layout of this small courtyard in the east was different from other courtyards in Rongguo Mansion. If the other courtyards were all square courtyards, then the east courtyard was somewhat similar to the Jiangnan courtyard.The houses are mixed with scenery, and the two are neither subordinate nor unrelated, but have a feeling of complementing each other. Even if it is still in the first month, it is exquisite and beautiful to look at. If it is in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom Come here, but I don't know what kind of picturesque scenery it should be.
At this end, the maids have already welcomed the Xue family's mother and daughter in. At the other end, Wang Xifeng finally finished her work, and just had time to rest on the kang, when she heard the maid's report, she immediately ordered the servants Take it directly to the warm pavilion.
"Why did Mrs. Xue come to me specially? If you miss me, it's time for me to visit you." Wang Xifeng sat on the warm kang in the East Nuan Pavilion, holding hot tea in her hand and carrying a cup of tea in her arms A hand warmer, Qiaoxiao Qianxi looked over.
Because the Rongguo Mansion itself was in a mess due to the separation of the family, the mother and daughter of the Xue family couldn't sit in the soft sedan chair, and they came here in a hurry in fur clothes.Fortunately, this year's winter is not too cold, and there is no snow today, but even so, the two of them are a little bit cold, but as soon as they entered the house, they heard Wang Xifeng say that Mrs. Xue's family is fine, still She could laugh, but Xue Baochai couldn't help lowering her head and pursing her lips.
The Xue family came to Beijing in the early spring of last year, and it has been almost a year now, but Wang Xifeng has never been to Qinyuan, and even occasionally met in Rongqingtang and other places, and most of them just nodded perfunctorily say hello.Expect her to go to Qinyuan to visit her aunt?Dreaming is faster!
It's a pity that Xue Baochai can only think about these words in her heart, she dare not say them, and she can't say them.
While thinking about it, the maids had already brought hot tea and cakes, Xue Baochai just lowered her head and held the tea in her hands without saying a word, letting Mrs. Xue's family lick her face and praised from the yard to the house, and then to the decorations in the house, and then extended To hot tea, pastries and more.In short, I have praised all I can, except for a stamp of "I am here to ask for help" stamped on my face.
To be honest, it's really embarrassing.Especially coupled with Wang Xifeng's meaningful smile, Xue Baochai only felt that his complexion was slightly hot, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Looking at Mrs. Xue's family, maybe she doesn't have the good looks, figure, and scheming that a daughter of the Wang family should have, but at least she has a thick skin.While laughing, she praised Wang Xifeng that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth, and at the same time, she was still thinking about how to lead the topic away later. She couldn't tell that she had cried several times before, and of course this had to be covered up by the thick powder on her face. Otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago.
No matter how you say it, Wang Xifeng is always a smiling tiger. Don't say that Mrs. Xue's family is really her aunt. Even if she is a relative who is out of reach today, she will greet her with a smile. As if he could take the opportunity to make a fortune, but when he encountered the latter, he weighed how much money he would need to send him away politely.
— There is essentially no difference.
Patiently listening to Mrs. Xue's words for a quarter of an hour, Wang Xifeng suddenly said: "Hurry up and change Mrs. Xue's cup of hot tea, it's getting cold." Then she smiled and looked at Mrs. Xue's, "Will you Is the tea from my place as good as yours?"
Is this a different way to dislike Mrs. Xue's talkativeness, or is it reminding her to get down to business quickly and treat everyone as idle as you?
Mrs. Xue's family is the Wang's daughter who is the least like a Wang's daughter, but she has lost her mind anyway. After hearing this, she finally couldn't care less, and hurriedly said: "Feng girl, our family will not talk about it. The two families talk about this matter... After thinking about it, I still need to ask you for help."
Wang Xifeng sneered inwardly, which one is your family?Thinking about the rich family background of the Xue family, he had to chuckle patiently and said: "Look at what you said, I am young and have not experienced much, how can I help you? Mrs. Xue If you have something to say, if you can help, I will not refuse, but if you can't help, then I have nothing to do."
"If you can help, you can help." After all, Mrs. Xue's relationship with Wang Xifeng is too little. If she were Mrs. Wang, she would leave early in the morning after hearing this.Obviously, what Wang Xifeng meant by this was to see if there is any benefit, and as for the help... definitely not to help.
It can only be said that Mr. Wang Zhanwang still had good eyesight back then, at least he could see that his little girl was useless.
On the other hand, Xue Baochai heard the voice, but when she raised her eyes and saw Wang Xifeng's full face, she suppressed the doubts in her heart again.
In the end, it was because the members of the Xue family didn't know Wang Xifeng well enough.
It was precisely because of lack of understanding that Mrs. Xue's family said a lot of words and left a lot of important gifts, but in the end all she took away was a light sentence from Wang Xifeng: I want to go back and ask my second master.
——Your second master Lian said that you have never heard what he said! !
Xue's mother and daughter left with anticipation and apprehension.In fact, if Wang Xifeng was more enthusiastic, Mrs. Xue would like to ask Xue Baochai about it, or ask Wang Xifeng to take her to Rongxi Hall to meet Nala Shuxian, or make an appointment for the next meeting.Unfortunately, neither.
When Xue's mother and daughter left, Wang Xifeng only asked someone to squeeze her shoulders and beat her back.
"I really have plenty of free time. I'm not in a hurry to pack up my bags and move out, but I'm still messing around here. My waist, for some reason, I'm getting tired. By the way, go and see Xue's house What did you bring?"
I also knew that the gift from the Xue family would definitely not be light, but when the maid came to tell the time, Wang Xifeng was still taken aback.
A set of mutton fat jade noodles, a set of five-color teacups from Ding Kiln, a pair of five-color porcelain vases with ice plum and butterfly patterns, a red sandalwood gilded kang screen, and more than a dozen horses of gorgeous and exquisite satin...
Each of them is considered a fine product individually, and together they are conservatively estimated to be worth 3 taels of silver. The key is that many things are priceless.It can even be said that, just for the set of mutton fat jade noodles, it is no problem to take it outside and change it to a three-entry house.With so many rare gifts put together, even Wang Xifeng felt a little worried.
When Brother Lian came in, what he saw was Wang Xifeng staring at the things on the kang in a daze.
"you are silly?"
How else could it be said that among the brothers and sisters, brother Lian was the one who was bullied the most?Don't look at him as the eldest brother, but sometimes he can't speak too much, but he doesn't have the ability of Jia She, and his temper is extraordinarily soft, if he doesn't bully him, who will he bully?
Wang Xifeng gave him a sideways look, and immediately said the matter straightforwardly: "...I definitely want to stay in our house and not move out, tsk, it's a beautiful idea, and you have a thick skin!"
It's a pity that these words did not reach Mrs. Xue's family, otherwise, if she knew that she had been busy for half a day and got such words, she might have died of anger.
"Then what are you going to do?" Brother Lian would never think that Wang Xifeng would intercede for the members of the Xue family. This is not a question of whether the gift is expensive enough, but that he knows very well that his wife's face is no thinner than that of the Xue family. .Isn't it just a gift?Receive first.As for the things to be done, it is natural to discuss them slowly first.
After half a moment, Wang Xifeng suddenly slapped his hands: "Call the doctor."
Sure enough... "What the hell? It's so good, what kind of doctor are you calling?" Brother Lian was dumbfounded, this daughter-in-law didn't play cards according to the rules at all!What does this mean, accusing the Xue family of giving the wrong gift and making her mad?
Wang Xifeng ignored him directly, and ordered the gift to be put away with a relaxed expression, and additionally said: "Put away the set of mutton fat jade noodles separately, and add it to my sister's dowry later."
Brother Lian: "..." The dowry is so big!My daughter is only one and a half years old!
However, Brother Lian didn't have the guts to challenge Wang Xifeng, he privately thought it was unnecessary, since good men don't fight women after all.
Another quarter of an hour later, the doctor entered the gate of the small courtyard on the east side, and because Brother Lian was present, Wang Xifeng hid behind the tent without any hindrance, and asked someone to take out a cap and put it on carelessly in front of Brother Lian. My son's face, good at letting the doctor diagnose.
"Congratulations to the second master Lian, congratulations to the second grandma Lian, this is a joy!"
Wang Xifeng calmly ordered people to reward the money, but she still didn't forget to slander in her heart that it was because she was happy, not that idiot brother Lian was happy.When she turned her head and saw Brother Lian's bewildered look, she became even more angry.
"Why are you still here in a daze? There are at least two quarters of an hour before the time to hold the lamps. Second Master, you can't bother to go to Rongxi Hall? Or are you going to let me, a weak woman, go to Rongxi Hall in the cold? Annunciation?"
As soon as these words came out, Brother Lian came back to his senses, but still stared at Wang Xifeng with straight eyes, half helpless and half questioning: "What the hell are you trying to do, girl Feng? Let's just say it straight." , save me the trouble of guessing later.”
"What am I going to do? What else can I do? One, pick a good day to tell the mansion the good news; two, take the opportunity to put aside other things to give birth and take care of yourself; three, I'm a pregnant woman Of course, you can't worry about other things, the Xue family's affairs...whatever you want!"
Brother Lian was speechless.
After a while, Brother Lian simply got up and wanted to leave. After the door curtain was lifted, he turned around and said, "What do you want to do? First, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the gap in the separation of the family and suffer a lot later; second, Well, I was thinking that Zhongfu would be able to palm for one more day, and by the way, I would tell others when I sat down for a few more days; three, you just looked at the fact that there is no one in Xue's family, and you took advantage of it and stopped working!"
As soon as the words fell, Brother Lian immediately turned around and ran away. Wang Xifeng was so angry that she rolled her eyes at the knife behind her, secretly thinking that if she ran enough, she couldn't close the temple! !
<<
On the other side of Rongxi Hall, Jia Amnesty had already put aside the matter of the separation of the family, and began to concentrate on researching which family to give to his sweetheart Twelve House.
This Princess Yonghua is of the first grade, the Duke's Mansion will be slightly reduced by one point, and the Hou's Mansion will be increased by one more point. I also think that the closer the Princess Mansion is, the more convenient it will be to go home in the future, and I will be able to see more. As for his son, Jia She simply focused on his family's old friends.Based on the idea of eating more and occupying more, Jia Amnesty quickly put aside the Hou Mansion, planning to take the Duke's Mansion directly. In the end, it only needs to be slightly reduced on the surface, which is much easier than building more, and it also saves money. too much.
Emperor Taizu bestowed four kings, eight lords and twelve lords, among which the eight lords were: Zhenguo Gong Niuqing, Liguo Gong Liu Biao, Qi Guogong Chen Yi, Zhiguo Gong Ma Kui, Xiuguo Gonghou Xiaoming, Sanguogong Shi Yin, and Ningguo Gong Jiayan and Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan.
Jia Amnesty listed Hachiko in detail on the paper, sat cross-legged on the heated kang, and pondered over the list.
Seeing this, Nala Shuxian craned her neck to take a special look, seeing that he even wrote her own house and the house next door, she felt helpless.Recalling the rumors in the market, the words that the Grand Master She of Rongguo Mansion went crazy and even made his own family look like that made sense.
Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard Jia She muttering to himself.
"It should be close to our home, and the mansion should be well-repaired and well-preserved. It is best to have a smaller population, a smaller house, and a better view. It would be even better if there are more gardens or a large pool... Isn't this It’s next door to the East Mansion!!”
Nala Shuxian: "..."
"It doesn't work, the Dong Mansion next door has paid back all the money owed, and there is no shortage of money, and now Xiao Rong'er is in charge of the house, so there is no reason to let them go." Jia She sighed repeatedly, with a frown on his face.
Hearing what he said, Nala Shuxian wisely decided to shut up. After all, normal people and lunatics have no common language.You said Jia She is not crazy?As long as his mind is normal, he won't think about going to Dong Mansion next door.The Ningguo Mansion recruited him to provoke him?Obviously, all these years, he was the one who took the initiative to provoke the other party!Even though Nala Shuxian didn't have any deep feelings for the Dongfu next door, she also felt that Jia Amnesty was too absurd and unreasonable.
"Oh, the time is still too short. Otherwise, it would be great if I coaxed Brother Zhen and Rong'er to go to the casino, and coaxed them to ruin their family fortune. Wouldn't I be able to accept it? It's a pity, the time is too short Well, the Holy One gave me less than three months, and I have to deduct the period of the New Year's Eve. There's no way to overthrow the East Mansion next door..."
At this moment, La Shuxian suddenly understood Jia's mother, sometimes Jia Amnesty is really nothing! !
"The Duke of Zhen's mansion has also paid back the money owed, and their ancestors once saved my grandfather on the battlefield, no." Jia Amnesty pondered for a long time, then pinched a mark on the Duke of Zhen's head with his finger, which was considered to be crossed out. .After thinking about it again, Duke Li was also crossed out.
When La Shuxian listened to nothing, she raised her eyes and saw Jia She staring at a certain point on the paper with a look of bitterness and hatred.
At that moment, Nala Shuxian became curious, and moved her body to take a closer look, only to find that except for Duke Qi's mansion, the other seven houses had been crossed out.
——Speaking of which, Mr. Xi, why do you have to add your own family?
Nala Shuxian followed Jia She's gaze, stared at the three words "Qi Guogong" for a long time, and then said tentatively: "Master, have you made a decision?"
"No. But I don't have any other good options. Four kings and eight kilometers away, the best place to bully is the Duke of Qi's mansion besides the next door East mansion." Jia She sighed, "But they are far away from our house. , I still think the Dongfu next door is the most suitable."
Once again, Nala Shuxian was choked and speechless.
Yes, Ningguo Mansion is of course suitable. They are all on Ningrong Street, one is on the east street and the other is at the end of the west street.On a short street, there were only their two mansions, which belonged to the door-to-door, so they didn't need to take a special car.If you go through the side door, it will be closer.
But the problem is, that's my family! !
"Master, hasn't the other end of the East Mansion provoked you lately?" Nala Shuxian hesitated for a while, but decided to say something nice for that end.The point is not that she is kind, but that she is not as cheap as Jia She.
"No." Jia Amnesty turned his face to the side and gave her a strange look, "Why do you ask that? When did the other side of the East Mansion offend me? Even counting Jia Jing's incident, he didn't mean to provoke me. Except Other than him, the entire East Mansion is either a wimp or a coward, how dare you provoke me."
"Then why do you keep staring at their house?" Nala Shuxian couldn't help asking.
"Because it's close, everything else is fine." Jia Amnesty went back to staring at the paper in his hand, looking back and forth from Ningguo Mansion to Qi Guofu.
Hearing what he said, besides feeling that Jia She is really a bastard, Nala Shuxian finally deeply understood what is the crime of being pregnant.The Ningguo Mansion didn't do anything good, but was targeted by Jia Amnesty just because of a reason of being close?In this regard, Nala Shuxian can only pray that Emperor Tai'an will not be so unreliable, or...
"I think the Qi State Mansion is pretty good."
In line with the idea that a dead fellow Taoist would not die a poor one, Nala Shuxian decisively diverted the trouble, especially when she remembered another thing.
"Master, do you still remember the situation when my niece Xiao Lingdang just married into the Bowling Marquis Mansion many years ago? She was a poor child when she was young. She lost her mother and almost used herself as a mother to drag her younger brother up. The Marquis Bowling who was married was weak, and she was still pregnant at that time..." Nala Shuxian recalled briefly, and seeing Jia She looked at her with a puzzled expression, she suddenly remembered Another possibility, he said in a hurry, "I didn't ask Master to deal with the Bowling Marquis, really not."
"Oh, I was also thinking that if we couldn't handle the Duke's Mansion, we would use the Twelve Marquis to do the surgery. Except for the historians, the people around us have no friendship with us." Jia She said casually.
Nala Shuxian broke into a cold sweat in her heart for others, and continued her efforts: "I just talked about my niece, Little Bell. At that time, Mrs. Hou Ye passed away suddenly, and someone made a fuss about it. It is said that she is pregnant with the Lone Star of Heavenly Fiend, master, do you still have any impression of this?"
Jia She looked at La Shuxian speechlessly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Didn't you say that it was the second sister-in-law of Master Baoling who did it? Later, I forced their family... that's right, The second wife of the Shi family is the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion!"
"Yes." Nala Shuxian already understood that there must be a family in the capital that is going to be unlucky, and she didn't want to turn around and Jia Amnesty would not be able to find a good one. Once again, she was thinking about going to the East Mansion next door, and she simply made up her mind to kill the Qi State Mansion. Come on, anyway, the two don't have a deep friendship.
"I understand what you mean, is this the only one?" As he spoke, Jia Amnesty hesitated again, "The road is a bit far away, besides, the Qi State Mansion has been in decline for a long time, I am afraid that the houses are not in good condition, let alone Not to mention the scenery. I... still think the East Mansion next door is the most suitable."
The Dong Mansion next door owed him something in his previous life? !
"The Qi State Mansion is very good. The distance is one thing. But if you think about it carefully, only the Qi State Mansion is the most useless eight kilometers away. However, which other people don't have relatives and friends? It depends on the situation. Whole body, once things go wrong and troubles arise, wouldn’t it be a good thing to delay March? That is Qi Guofu, their family has been single-passed for several generations, and they marry girls from declining families. The only one who is still reliable is also It's the one who married into Marquis Bowling's mansion. But it's okay, Marquis Bowling will definitely not fight against you, Master, because of his sister-in-law."
This is the truth. Maybe others can hide the shit about the historian, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the Rongguo Mansion.
With Lord Baoling's temperament, it is impossible for him to deliberately target his second brother, treat him harshly or even take revenge.However, Lord Baoling did not do nothing. On the one hand, he tried his best to hug Jia Amnesty's thigh, on the one hand, he worked tirelessly in the Ministry of Punishment, and on the other hand, he spared no expense to clear the way for his third brother.Up to now, he has a smooth official career and a stable position, and the youngest historian has also become a general two years earlier, and was conferred the title of Zhongjinghou by Emperor Tai'an some time ago.
There are two historians in one family, and Lord Bowling, who inherited the title of his ancestor, was born in the imperial examination. The hair set off the uselessness of the second child of the historian.
And the second child of the historian is the son-in-law of Qi Guofu.
"Well, let's go to his house." Jia She finally made up his mind, but his face was still calm. Seeing that La Shuxian was staring at him, Jia She only smiled wryly and shook his head, "I still feel that the Dong Mansion next door It is the most satisfactory. However, the Qi State Mansion can barely do it. Now we can only settle for the second best."
Nala Shuxian deeply believed that if this word reached the ears of those two families, no one would thank Jia She, that old bastard.
Suddenly, a servant girl's call came from outside, but it was Brother Lian who came over.
"Why did Lian'er come here so late?" Nala Shuxian was very suspicious. Although the Lantern Festival is a time for family reunion, isn't this year a special case?After all, if Dafang is reunited, maybe they should go to Jiamu's side. It is only reasonable for the whole family to get together.Because Jia Amnesty didn't even want to do the last superficial article, so he ordered to go on, and this year each will live his own life, and the left and right are not bad.
While talking, Brother Lian has already come in.
"I'm here to announce the good news to you." Brother Lian had a strange look on his face, "Sister Feng called the doctor just now, and the doctor said that she is happy."
"Really?" Jia She's eyes lit up. Although he thought that Xin'er was a great granddaughter, after all, brother Lian was the future successor, so he needed a son.Although we don't know men and women now, it is a good thing to be happy.Besides, it is said that it blooms first and then bears fruit. I already had a flower-like little Xin'er before, and this time it is definitely a leader.
Brother Lian nodded: "Yes. But..."
"Say it straight, don't babble like a little girl! Hmph, the second girl doesn't have any ink marks on you." Seeing him like this, Jia She couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter? It's your daughter-in-law. What's the matter?"
"Forget it." Brother Lian hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Some time ago, Mrs. Xue went to my place and brought a bunch of expensive gifts, which should be worth tens of thousands of taels at least. Sister Feng accepted all of them, but she didn't intend to help Xue's family at all, so she planned to take advantage of the fact that she was pregnant to pretend to be ill."
Nala Shuxian didn't know how many times she was choked up and had nothing to say today, and she finally realized clearly that most of her family members were top-notch, even the daughter-in-law who came in later was no exception.Suddenly, she remembered the character of Princess Yonghua whom she had inquired about at the twelve places earlier, and deeply mourned for the Lin family sister.
Both of these are not good things. After the sister of the Lin family gets married in the future, maybe she will spend more time to help her.Otherwise, just this nest of wolves, wouldn't they scare people out of their wits?
Just as she was sighing, Nala Shuxian heard Brother Lian say again: "I reckon the Xue family has nothing else to do, maybe they just don't want to move out. Anyway, I told you about it, Sister Feng. Head, I think she only intends to receive gifts and not to do anything, so you can do whatever you want."
"What can I do? What can I do? Jia Zheng is gone, and Xue's family still has the face to stay? Hurry up and get out, so that I can flatten the west side and rebuild it. Just wait for Cong'er to get married and move in." That way, Jing'er can live in Cong'er's yard. When Xiao Wu grows up, let him live in Zhu'er's yard."
Jia Amnesty has already planned it out, how can anyone allow others to disrupt his plan?
Of course, if that person is someone like Emperor Tai'an who he can't afford to offend, it's a different matter.But what is the Xue family?All fuck off!He is not rare for such relatives!
Soon, brother Lian ran away, anyway, he had already brought the words to him, although his wife was a bit brazen, but it was not a big problem.What I am most afraid of is not taking money and not doing things, but not knowing how to do anything.However, he also realized that his daughter-in-law was a little greedy, and thought about finding an opportunity to have a talk with her. This yellow and white thing is pleasing to the eye, but he has to pay attention to the right way to get it?
——Looking for money from Xue's family, it seems to be barely considered the right way?
