After Aunt Mei left, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang, sighed and said, "It's a pity, that ship will no longer be usable, do you understand what I mean?"

When Jia Qiang heard this, her face changed slightly, she hesitated for a while, and said, "Sir, what you mean is that the palace will detect that ship..."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Is there any impenetrable wall in the world? When the emperor was here, you left such a boat, and the emperor might not care if he knew about it. But now the emperor is the only one who respects me, but you leave a boat that can run away at any time, you What does the emperor think?"

Jia Qiang nodded slowly when she heard the words, and said, "I'm not afraid, I will think of another way."

Lin Ruhai smiled, and said: "Actually, there is no need. From now on, there should be no danger of life. You did a great job today, not just because you except Wei Xin. If you don't get rid of him, he can't live. The emperor has been prepared for a long time. I mean, you have paid back a big favor for helping Ke and the county king. In addition, you have declined the post of the infantry commander. Some things look good, but Unable to touch. Gaining great power suddenly without any foundation at all, this is the root of all kinds of disasters. Get rid of this greed, and Qiang'er will become a great weapon in the future."

After Jia Qiang said a few words humbly, she looked at Lin Ruhai with bright eyes and asked with a smile, "Sir, it's a different day now. Will the sea and the sky be brighter from now on?"

Lin Ruhai smiled at first, but in the end he still warned seriously: "Don't be careless, although the Supreme Emperor is gone, but the Empress Dowager is still there, this is only in the palace. Outside the palace, without the shock of the Supreme Emperor, although most people will Be more disciplined, but it is inevitable that some people will take risks and become more unscrupulous!"

Jia Qiang's face became serious when she heard the words, and said: "I understand this, and I won't be frivolous. I just thought that from now on, it should be right and wrong. By the way, sir, is the emperor really willing to let Jing Chaoyun go? This person definitely deserves to be called a powerful official! If he doesn't get rid of him, Jingchu's old officials will not be cleaned up."

Lin Ruhai smiled when she heard the words, and said: "Qiang'er, although you are extremely intelligent, you have not experienced many things, so you may not understand them. Just take your time and see what the emperor's means are!

Sometimes, living is harder than dying.

Sometimes, being in power is worse than going out! "

Chapter 488 The root of the disaster!

After eating, it was completely dark after Lin Fu came out.

The Buzheng Square and all the surrounding official squares hang white lanterns in mourning, which looks a little scary.

Jia Qiang led the soldiers all the way to the west city, returned to Ningrong Street, and saw the white lantern in front of Ningguo Mansion without any accident.

Thinking of how the Supreme Emperor treated him, even though he only wanted to take advantage of him, it changed his fate in the end.

So, no more bad luck...

As soon as he got off his horse, he saw a familiar person as expected.

"Master Hou, the old lady said that you have returned to the mansion, so I will go to the west mansion."

Jia Qiang looked at Lin Zhixiao who was bowing to deliver the message, and said a little funnyly: "There are not two butlers left in the Xifu, why are you so idle? See Tian'er come to run errands?"

Lin Zhixiao hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was joking, now the family has appointed three housekeepers, one is my cousin Zhao Jing, although he is a bit stupid, he is better than being honest, and now he is in charge of the affairs of the Zhuangzi outside. There are two more, one was originally the son of the old lady's companion, named Sun Qiao, and the other was mentioned by the wife, Aunt Zhou's brother, Zhou He."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth, and said, "It's all grounded... But, you are now the chief steward of the West Mansion, so you must take good care of them. If they are really frivolous or unclean and don't know the law of the king, if you If you are jealous of the old lady and the second wife, come to me directly. If you wait until they commit crimes and expose the scorpion, I will even have a fit with you, the big housekeeper."

Lin Zhixiao heard the words, and quickly apologized with a smile: "With Lord Hou's words, the servant will know what to do. Don't worry, Lord Hou."

Jia Qiang laughed when she heard the words, and after taking a deep look at Lin Zhixiao, she turned around and walked towards Rongfu without saying anything more.

Seeing Jia Qiang's eyes, Lin Zhixiao was startled, and hastily wiped away the original idea of ​​borrowing a knife to kill someone in his heart.

However, he also thought that he himself was out of loyalty, otherwise Jia Qiang would not agree to him, so he felt relieved.

……

West Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

When Jia Qiang came in, she felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Looking at Baoyu who was still crying in Jia's mother's arms, Jia Qiang vaguely understood something.

Sure enough, after seeing the ceremony with Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, Jia Mu was upset and scolded: "Brother Qiang, why are you bullying Baoyu again? If you don't bully him once a day, don't you feel happy?"

Jia Qiang said inexplicably: "Have I bullied him too much? I haven't seen him today!"

Seeing that Baoyu was sobbing, Jia's mother patted the soft couch angrily and said, "You still don't admit it! The sisters at home are all stubborn in your poor garden. Why did you drive Baoyu back alone? You have been crying all day!"

Looking at the trembling and cold mother of Jia, Jia Qiang was speechless and amused, and said: "Today's national funeral, don't old ladies and wives go to the palace to perform filial piety? Jia Lian is still lying in bed to recover from his injuries. The old lady has no children and grandchildren with her, so she is not laughed at. Die? Why didn’t my good intentions fail?”

Jia Mu said angrily, "You have to have Baoyu to send us? Why are you going? Could it be that only Yu'er and her father are your parents, and we are in the back instead?"

Jia Qiang was startled when she heard the words, and said, "Hey! Old lady, do you know that I sent my husband home?"

Seeing that Mother Jia's eyes became more and more unfriendly, he waved his hands and smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to escort the old lady back and forth. I didn't sleep all night last night. When I returned to the city at five o'clock, I went directly to the Bingmasi Yamen. After finishing my official business, I will escort you back." Let the gentleman go back to the mansion. If you always rely on me, then don't think too much. During this national funeral, the emperor did not use the soldiers and horses commanded by the infantry to guard the various squares, but let the soldiers and horses handle the matter. How can I walk away... Hey, the old lady didn't go today? Why didn't I see you grow old?"

Mother Jia became even angrier when she heard the words, and said, "You still have me in your eyes? I am in Qianqing Palace today, and I am accompanying the queen mother and empress empress. You have never even looked at me. I think you are becoming more and more disrespectful to the elderly." !"

Jia Qiang was wronged, but she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha! Old lady, this is why you are being unreasonable. Today, the queen mother, the princess, the empress, the imperial concubine, and the princes and concubines of the clan, In addition to the princess and princess, there are hundreds of people, and your old lady is staying behind somewhere, where can I recognize you?"

If he knew that Daiyu was going, he might take a second look in the crowd...

Li Wan is a kind person. Seeing Jia Mu's angry face turned pale, he persuaded with a smile: "Good Brother Qiang, don't talk anymore! The old lady has been tired all day..."

Jia Qiang nodded and said to Jia's mother, "You have to work hard for a while. After the national funeral is over, I will send you to wash the warm soup with Baoyu. It will be good for your body and bones."

Baoyu's complexion darkened, but when Jia Mu heard the words, her complexion finally eased a bit. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Are you really inseparable from others? Or, you should send me and my wife into the palace tomorrow..."

Jia Qiang said: "I have said that I have business to do. Why, let Baoyu and Jia Huan go? They don't need to drive the car and carry the sedan chair."

Jia's mother said angrily, "Brother Huan, who can't get on the stage, how did he get into the palace? I can't take him out even if he's gone."

Only then did Jia Qiang remember that this old lady was also a very respectable person. In her previous life, the princess of Nan'an County and others came to visit and wanted to see the sisters of the Jia family, but Jia's mother only asked Lin, Xue, Shi and Tanchun to come forward.

Thinking about the honor and heroism of Third Master Huan, it was really not in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang frowned again and said, "What about Baoyu?"

Jia Mu paused, and said uncomfortably, "Baoyu's bones only look good on the outside, but the inside is tight. When he wakes up early, it's cold outside. How can he stand it?"

Jia Qiang's face was ugly, and said: "He can't stand it, I can stand it? Baoyu is still a fat man, and I look much thinner than him on the outside, and even weaker on the inside! I advise you, old lady, not to be partial Now, even the sedan chair is not willing to let him follow, and you still expect him to take you to Mount Wutai in the future?"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she finally laughed, and said to Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, "I almost forgot that this hozen is also a half-child who has not yet married. He is only regarded as Baoyu's father's generation. Look. , and now I’m still sour.”

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Speaking of it, he is only two or three years older than Baoyu, but he is so capable in his daily life, and he does great things. Who would think that he is a child?"

Mrs. Wang also smiled softly at Jia Qiang and explained: "If it's just the frost and cold outside, it's fine. Although I spoil Baoyu, I don't care about it. It's just that he has no place to go in the palace, so he can only stay outside. It really blows." It's been windy all day, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. Brother, you have business to do, go and get busy with serious business after crying, don't have to stay there..."

But Jia Qiang still shook her head and said, "That's not going to work. I have to go to the yamen at the beginning of tomorrow's Er Yin. I will go to the palace after the arrangements are made. I will go more than an hour earlier than you. In this way, Baoyu will protect you to go to the palace first, and wait After I went into the palace and finished crying, I came out to pick him up to Bingmasi Yamen. I took him there when I was crying again at night, and we happened to pick up the old lady and wife out of the palace together."

Mrs. Wang's face was slightly ugly, but there was nothing she could do after thinking about it.

Seeing that Baoyu was really unhappy, Jia Mu hesitated, but then said, "How about finding some people from the clan?"
