On the official road leading to Yangzhou, two carriages galloped past one after the other, bringing up dust along the way.

In a tea house next to the official road, a well-dressed woman wearing a gold hairpin was sitting there drinking tea one after another, with dissatisfaction and impatience in her eyes.

At this time, a man who looked very capable walked into the tea room.

When the woman saw the man, she immediately complained: "It's true, the eldest lady, there are so many cars in the house, and there is no better one. This trip is for the old lady. This car is no longer good. It went bad once and missed the time, who is going to explain to the old lady?..."

The man didn't speak, but gave the woman a cold look.

The woman opened her mouth, and the words that were not finished were choked in her throat.I was afraid for a while. After all, I came back from the battlefield with the old man. Those eyes are really frightening!What the hell did I do just now to complain about the eldest wife in front of the elder?

Seeing the woman's face change, she turned around and walked away with only muttering in her mouth. The man then went to the owner of the tea shop to pay the bill.

This man is the nanny brother of Jia She, the grand master of the Jia family, named Qi Feng.He is Jia She's confidant, and usually helps Jia She to deal with some very important matters.If Jia Amnesty hadn't brought Jia Min a letter with the gift, he wouldn't have come forward to take the trip this time.

Qi Feng was also very dissatisfied at this time.A slave, who just gained some face in front of Jia Mu, dared to fight against the serious master in the mansion.It's crazy!It's just that it's not for me to talk about the people who are in front of the old lady of Jia's mansion.well--!

Qi Feng let out a long sigh, feeling helpless.

How difficult it is for my master!

Father doesn't hurt, mother doesn't love.Although there is a younger sister who has been close to her since she was a child, she also married and left the house.

If it wasn't for the Elder Master's own ability, he went to the battlefield at a young age and accumulated military merits to attack the nobility, but he would really have no place to be run in his own home.

Now the Eldest Master has to run errands for the Emperor, and has to support such a big family, and he has to be distracted to deal with the moths that the Second Household comes out from time to time.Really tired!

You say you are the second son, why are you fighting for it?If you don't know how to do it, you don't say it, and let a woman hold it.Qi Feng felt that the tricks of the second room were all done by the second wife, and the second master Jia Zheng didn't have that kind of heart at all.In Qi Feng's eyes, the second master Jia Zheng is an idiot who can only talk about things, but is completely ignorant of world affairs.Otherwise, he wouldn't have sat in the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, for so many years.It's useless!

The old lady of Jia's mansion is partial to her youngest son.This matter is not a secret at all in Jia's mansion, it is known to everyone.Especially after the Grand Master directly replaced the plaque of "Rongguo Mansion" without informing the old matriarch, the old matriarch was even more dissatisfied with the grand master. Don't wait to see each other.Fortunately, the old lady is still a governor, and nothing happened.But it still makes people feel depressed.Qi Feng felt that although the Elder Master didn't show it on the surface, he was definitely unhappy in his heart.

Years ago, because of the plot of the second wife Mrs. Wang, my second master had to get engaged to the young lady of the Wang family.This matter caused the elder to smash all the porcelain in the study, and the old matriarch had no choice but to let go and agree to the elder's separation.But the old matriarch also said that when her old man was alive, the family was not divided.Therefore, the second room is still living in the mansion, but it has moved from the largest courtyard to the Pear Fragrance Court next to the Cihui Courtyard where the old lady lives, and it is right to be a guest.

On weekdays, the old matriarch often invites the young masters and ladies of the second master's family to chat and joke in front of him, but he doesn't mention his own uncle and second master.It is said that it is because the young master Baoyu has a history and will be blessed in the future, so the old matriarch has to educate him himself.

But thinking of this, Qi Feng was a little puzzled.Doesn't the second master's young master need to go to school?It is said that one day out of three, he refused to go to the ethnology because he was sick.Unlike my uncle and second master, they are so busy every day that they never touch the ground.The uncle has already entered the imperial examination, and now he has entered the Hanlin Academy. Although the grade is not high, he has a decent official status.The second master is now studying with his husband in the morning, wandering around his shop with the manager in the afternoon, learning some business operations, and learning some kung fu from Master Wu in the evening.The Elder Master said that the Second Master's qualifications are limited, as long as he has the status of Juren, it is enough, and in the future he will only be in charge of the shop in the mansion to make a living.

With this comparison, Qi Feng felt a little confused.It is completely unclear whether this old lady really likes the second room?Still want to kill the second room?A serious man, not to mention academic progress.They are seven or eight years old, and they are still messing around inside the curtains, there is no taboo.A small villain, but surrounded by countless servant girls, it is said that each has his own merits, and they are all beautiful characters.Qi Feng was thinking, if this young master Baoyu is going to be raised like this, he will have to be taken care of by the old matriarch!hey-hey……

Looking at my own family, not to mention the uncle, before the uncle got married, he was just like the second master now.There are only two big maids arranged around, and the rest are just women and little girls.Not long after the uncle got married, the original maid was married to the steward of the mansion at the discretion of the eldest wife.The uncle's current house is still his dowry maid who was arranged by the elder mistress when she was pregnant.Qi Feng thinks that the Grand Master's room is actually not too indulgent in makeup.

All in all, in Qi Feng's eyes, Jia Sheman has no shortcomings.According to Qi Feng's mother's original words, he is a good boy who is not easy.

**************************************

Outside the gate of Linfu in Yangzhou, two carriages were parked there.A man with the appearance of an attendant stood beside the car, as if he was waiting for a notification from the concierge.

Qi Feng silently glanced at the two carriages.He remembered that these two cars came out of the capital just like himself.The car is an ordinary car with no marks on it.But the horses used to pull the carts are definitely not the best horses that ordinary people can afford.

Qi Feng saw this in his eyes.He asked the coachman to park his carriage behind the two carriages, and then he got out of the carriage to find the porter.

When passing by that follower, Qi Feng exchanged a glance with that person before passing by.

After a while, Lin Qing, the chief steward of the Lin Mansion, came out to greet him in person, but Lin Qing just hugged him first and said no, and then he greeted the man who looked like a follower.

Seeing Lin Qing talking to that attendant with a pleasant smile, then four people who looked like nuns got out of the carriage.Although the four people didn't have any ornaments on their bodies, their clothes were very elegant.When the four saluted Lin Qing, they were modest but not humble, but Lin Qing actually returned the salute to them.Qi Feng looked at it with fascinated eyes, feeling strange in his heart.These few people who seem to be servants but not servants, do they have some background?

Qi Feng was still thinking about something, but the man in the carriage started looking for something again.

It turned out that it was because he saw Lin Qing coming out and thought that he was greeted by a pedestrian like himself.The woman had adjusted her clothes and was waiting for someone to take Joe's.But she didn't wait for someone to come for a long time, so she lifted the curtain of the car to see what was going on.Unexpectedly, what I saw was the back of Lin Qing leading another group of people into the mansion.Now the woman quit. She felt that she was not taken seriously, so she broke out immediately.

"I said Manager Qi, the Lin family doesn't see anyone there. Then why did Lin Qing go to welcome others first? We are still my wife's natal family, so we have to be tight with us first. Are there any rules for this?" ? You don’t want to argue with them, talk about it. Do you think our Jia’s family is one of those small households?”

The voice of these words is not small.

At that moment, the pedestrian who had already entered the mansion looked over together with Lin Qing.

Qi Feng really wanted the rag to gag the mouth of the man in the carriage, so as not to cause trouble in the house.Fortunately, at this time, the second housekeeper Lin Bo came out, apologized directly to Qi Feng, and then took them to the flower hall for entertaining guests, asking them to wait a while.

"It doesn't matter. Brother is just sending a letter to the elder of our family, and asked the second housekeeper to send someone to deliver it to the wife of the family." Qi Feng said very openly.

"Furthermore, the old matriarch misses his wife very much, so he sent someone to take a look. Please ask the second steward to make arrangements."

Only then did Lin Bo take a look at the woman who came in after Qi Feng.As soon as the man entered the mansion, his eyes rolled around, and he looked restless.

Lin Bo had an idea in his heart, but he still had a gentle smile on his face, and only said:

"Qi Guan's business came at an unfortunate time. There happened to be a distinguished guest at my wife's place, so I can only ask Qi Guan to wait for a while. Why don't you have some lunch first? Wait until the wife's guests come back, and then ask your wife to make up your mind. Okay. ?”

After Qi Feng heard this, he had no objection.

Seeing this, Lin Bo ordered the servants to prepare some noodles, then he said he was rude and left.

Before leaving, Lin Bo glanced at the woman again, but the woman didn't notice, and was still checking the arrangement of the flower hall.

Lin Bo sneered in his heart, then flung his sleeves and left.

Qi Feng naturally saw Lin Bo's look when he left, but he just acted as if he didn't know, and sat aside to rest.It's just that I'm still thinking about the pedestrian I met in front of the Lin Mansion's gate, and I'm afraid he came out from there.
