Qinglian in the Red Chamber

After knocking a few times, the vermilion gate of Jia's mansion did not respond at all. The coachman of Zhen's family was suspicious, when he heard a "squeak" from the side door.

The coachman looked towards the side door following the sound, and saw a man poking his head out.The man looked at himself first, then at his carriage, and then asked himself:

"Who are you looking for?"

"Brother, we are from Jinling. We are ordered by our master to pay our respects to the old matriarch and bring some local products." The coachman replied respectfully according to Chun's mother's order just now.

This coachman is seriously not an important figure in the Zhen family.However, although he is small and humble, and has no access to the core affairs of the Zhen family, his grand lord, several gentlemen in the family, and several servants who are all in charge of the Yanzheng Yamen were taken away for questioning. He still knows something about it.It's not that he has good ears and eyes, it's just that this matter is too big, there are too many people involved, and it happened so suddenly that the rest of the Zhen family The masters were all panicked, and for a while no one thought of issuing a password ban or something. In the end, the whole Zhen family knew about it, causing panic.

And this time, the driver of Chun's mother was sent to the capital by his old lady, and the coachman knew a little bit, but it was those old relatives of Xun Zhen's family who were in the capital who came forward to intercede with the old man.It was precisely because he knew these things that the coachman didn't dare to make a big show just because he was a member of the Zhen family as before.Even if the person he is facing now is just a disciple, his answer is extremely respectful.

Jinling? !

The eyes of the person at the door flickered for a moment, but his attitude didn't change much, he just asked, "Which family in Jinling is your residence?"

The driver's tone was stagnant, his expression showed a bit of reluctance, and his voice also lowered a bit: "Jinling, Zhen's family."

"Well, let me report back." The attitude of the person at the door was still flat and lukewarm, there was neither any shyness nor enthusiasm.

The coachman of the Zhen family is also used to seeing all kinds of people.Now, however, he couldn't figure out what kind of intentions the Jia family had in mind, so he could only murmur, "I'm sorry, old man."

The carriage was not very close to the side door, so Mother Chun could only vaguely hear a few words while sitting in the carriage, but she didn't fully hear the content of the conversation between her coachman and the door of Jia's family.She just saw the side door of Jia's house open and close, and not long after, her own coachman ran back with frowning eyes.

"What's going on?" Chun's mother asked, her tone was so calm that no one could see the uneasiness in her heart at this moment.

The coachman touched his forehead and said uncertainly: "The door told us to wait for a while, he wants to report first."

The coachman felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Did you say that we are from Jinling Zhen's family?"

"Yes. But I'm not sure what that means?"

Mother Chun gritted her teeth.Secretly depressed.

What do you mean?

What else can this mean!

Chun's mother gave the coachman an annoyed sideways glance.Secretly spitting, this man is really a wink.I didn't even understand the meaning of this door!

When she looked at the door plaque engraved with the word "Jia's Mansion", Mother Chun's eyes were already full of sternness.snort!The old man Jia who inherited the family business must have seen his own old man suffer, so he stopped looking at others!Even a member of the family dared to show embarrassment to the members of the Zhen family, he must have got an account from the owner of the family.It's really a low-level thing with a dog's eyes!

Mother Chun hated secretly: If this had been left in the time when the old Duke of Rongguo Mansion was still there.When the family sent someone to deliver a post or something, it wasn't the big butler of the Rongguo Mansion who came out to greet him in person, and then entertained him with delicious food and drink in the small hall.Now that it's all right, why hang yourself in the carriage outside to wait? !

Just wait, wait until your master is safe and sound, when you cry!

Resentfully flicking the curtain of the carriage, Mother Chun sat back in the carriage angrily.

Could this be what the old lady in Jia's mansion meant?After turning around in her mind, this idea suddenly popped into Chun's mother's mind.She began to wonder about the possibility of such a thing happening.If it is the order of the old lady of the Jia family, it will not be a good thing...

Qi Feng closed the side door expressionlessly, turned around and ordered a few young men to guard the house door, and then hurried to see Mrs. Zhang.

The master went to the Lin family and hasn't come back yet, but the people from the Zhen family have already come to the door.

The wind was blowing under Qi Feng's feet.I am eager to go.

When they came to the event hall on the west side of the main courtyard, before Qi Feng saluted and greeted him, Mrs. Zhang behind the screen asked, "But is there someone from the Zhen family?"

Before Jia She went out this morning, he was really worried about his family, so he specially arranged for Qi Feng to guard the gate of the house.Both Zhang and Qi Feng knew what the intention was.

Therefore, when she saw Qi Feng coming to see him in a hurry, Mrs. Zhang knew something was wrong.

"Yes. It's a carriage. The driver said it was here to greet the old lady and deliver local products. There must be another woman in the carriage. I think it must be a woman who is strong in front of the master." Qi Feng's eyesight is very good. Guochun's mother opened the gap in the car curtain and took a rough look inside the car.

It's hard for me to stop people who come to greet the old lady.

Since the old Duke passed away and Jia She took over the family business, Jia She never asked Mrs. Zhang to prepare a gift for the Zhen family every year, such as annual etiquette and human relations.Over the past few years, the relationship between my family and the Zhen family has almost been cut off.However, as far as Mr. Zhang learned privately, it was the second uncle's family who had been in contact with the Zhen family.

Mrs. Zhang paced back and forth in the room, unable to make up her mind for a while.

According to Mrs. Zhang's thinking, this person from the Zhen family must never be brought into the mansion. Once this person enters the mansion, even if his body is full of mouths, he will not be able to tell his innocence.

However, people blatantly said that they came to pay respects to the old lady, so if they blocked it so that no one could see it, Jia Amnesty and his own reputation would not be good...

Just when Mrs. Zhang was worried about the visitors from Zhen's family, a little maid came to report, saying: "Sister Yuanyang next to the old lady has come, and she said that the old lady asked the wife to go to Cihuiyuan."

Mrs. Zhang and Qi Feng were both taken aback when they heard the little maid's report.

Guessing Jia Mu's intentions in her heart, but it is not easy to ask Yuanyang to wait outside, Zhang frowned and said to Qi Feng: "Anyway, don't ask people from the Zhen family to come into the house."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly followed Yuanyang to Cihui Courtyard.

Qi Feng got orders from Mrs. Zhang, and also rushed to the gate.However, as soon as Qi Feng left the second gate, he saw a young man who was in charge of guarding the gate anxiously grinding circles there.

Qi Feng's heart skipped a beat.Before he could ask a question, the boy said anxiously:

"Nurse Lai brought in the people from the Zhen family, the little ones really couldn't stop them..."

The damned old godmother!

Qi Feng was filled with hatred, and hissed, "Hurry up, find someone to go to Lin's house and find the elder!"

"Yes, yes..." The boy replied in a loud voice, then staggered and ran out.

In other words, because of her old age, Mammy Lai received the grace of Jia Mu many years ago, took her own life deed and a small house bestowed by Jia Mu, and went out of the house to retire.It's just that maybe it's because her son and daughter-in-law are still working in the mansion, or maybe she really thinks about the love between master and servant, so on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, Nanny Lai will still go to the mansion to give Jia Mother, please be safe, and have a chat and laugh with Jia's mother.

Today is the day when Mammy Lai goes to the mansion to pay her respects to Mother Jia.It stands to reason that she can only enter the mansion through the corner gate.Today was a coincidence, when the Zhen family's carriage was circling around Rongning Street, Mammy Lai saw it.She followed the excitement as if it were a joke.

Mother Lai had nothing to do, so she asked her own carriage to follow Zhen's car far away, to see if there was any coke in the back. Listen, ask Jia Mu to laugh too.

While waiting for the carriage of Zhen's family to stop at the gate of Jia's mansion, Nanny Lai took a look, yo!Why is it that the old man is guarding the side door with Qi Feng in front of him?Why don't you tell people to go in and wait in the mansion?

Although Madam Lai is old, her ears are still very good.She really listened to the words "come to greet the old lady in the house and give gifts".Moreover, they were also said to be members of the "Jinling Zhen family".

Nanny Lai has never looked down on the people in Jia She's room since she was born, and she herself was arranged by Jia's mother to be raised in the mansion, and she also has the big house's handwriting in it, so facing the people in Jia She's room, Nanny Lai felt bored in her heart.

Seeing that Qi Feng has no plans to call anyone into the mansion, Nanny Lai is excited.

This is simply a great opportunity given by God!

After Nanny Lai entered Jia's mansion through the corner gate quietly, she rushed to the Cihui Courtyard at a speed that was extremely disproportionate to her age. After seeing Jia's mother, she only saluted in a hurry, and then went on like this and that. In front of Jia's mother, I said something.

Mother Jia didn't know about Zhen Yingjia's detention.

When Mammy Lai said that people from the Zhen family had come, but Qi Feng blocked the door and refused to let them in, Mother Jia was annoyed for a while.

"Old lady, it's not a slave to play tricks. It's too unusual for the eldest lady to do this. Renzhen's family and our family are old relatives. If we keep people out like this, what will Renzhen's family think? Our family? Didn’t they just plan to invite you to give you some things? Didn’t they just say hello to the old man and the eldest wife first? Just hang people out like this, let people know and don’t talk about our family Master and wife's eyelids are so shallow..." Nanny Lai said "I'm doing it for the sake of my family" and chattered for a while.
