Jia Mu was so angry that Jia She was slapped and reprimanded for nothing, and the anger in her heart rushed to her throat, and she suppressed her, her face was livid, and she couldn't break out.

Yuanyang hurriedly came up to help the old lady, rubbing her breasts and comforting her, Jia She stood aside with a cold face and stopped talking.

Mother Jia took a deep breath and calmed down a little. Looking at Jia She's stinky face, her eyes were so cold that they pierced Jia She's heart like a knife, and she said, "What are you doing! I don't know what to look at." , you just wait to see your brother's jokes! Don't even think about it, what's wrong with Baoyu, it's not just his reputation that's ruined, who can please the children and grandchildren of our Jia family? You also Don't worry, sooner or later we will be pissed off, you will be relieved!"

What he said didn't sound right. Jia She's face turned pale and blue, and his expression was even more distorted. He knelt down on his knees and said, "What are you talking about, mother? What's wrong with me being a son? Beat me and scold me!" It should be, why bother to poke my heart like this! My mother has seen what I do to my children. No matter how stupid I am, it’s not that I don’t know how to protect my children and grandchildren. It’s hard for my son to die if my mother says this It's safe!" Jia She said, tears streaming down his face, trembling with his half-hundred beard, looking extraordinarily embarrassed.

There was disdain in Jiamu's eyes, but what Jia Amnesty said was right, she said those words too harshly, in front of the slaves, to scold the master like this, it is still Jia's family's face.The anger had already been vented, Mother Jia returned to her usual majestic and self-restraining appearance, the expression on her face was well controlled, she sighed and said, "Get up, I was the one who was impatient and said it seriously. I know your heart." He called out "Mandarin Duck" again.

As soon as Jiamu's accusation came out, Yuanyang quietly retreated to the outside room, secretly listening to the mother and son's confrontation inside, and when she heard Jiamu's call, she didn't dare to hesitate and came in immediately.

"Go and serve the master."

Yuanyang hurriedly changed the servant girl to bring water, took it herself, and led Jia Amnesty to wipe her face.When Hou was at the side, he glanced at Jia She inadvertently, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, the loose skin on his face showed tears, his jaw was clenched tightly, and the corners of his mouth also looked resentful. Pazi, his eyes collided with Yuanyang, and the resentment pierced across the space like substance, Yuanyang's heart trembled slightly, and a look of compassion was unconsciously revealed in his eyes.Jia Amnesty's expression changed in an instant, and he gave her a hard look, scaring her to lower her head immediately.

Being pitied by a slave, Jia She's self-esteem will definitely let him remember such a humiliating moment, and naturally he will remember the reason for this situation even more.

The mandarin ducks waited on Jia Amnesty to freshen up, and Jia Zheng had already arrived with Jia Baoyu.

Jia Zheng was furious, and Jia Baoyu flinched. As soon as he entered the room, Jia Zheng shouted: "Sick, kneel down, what absurd thing have you done to make the ancestor angry!"

Jia Baoyu knelt down in panic, looked at Jia's mother beggingly, and was speechless.

Jia Mu beat the bed and said angrily, "What prestige are you playing in front of me again? Baoyu, get up quickly. It's none of your business. Don't be afraid." A mandarin duck had already lifted Jia Baoyu up. Sit by your side.

Jia Zheng froze, the anger on his face eased a little, he greeted Jia Amnesty, and asked suspiciously: "It's not Baoyu who caused trouble, but what is it that makes mother and brother worry?"

He looked at Jia She, wondering what the elder brother said in front of his mother, but Jia She kept a solemn face and did not speak.Mother Jia stroked Jia Baoyu's shoulder, her eyes that had just calmed down became cold again.Seeing Jia Baoyu's uneasy look, Jia's mother felt unspeakable love and affection, and said softly: "It's a big deal, your father is so irritable, why bother to arrest you, it's none of your business here, you and the sisters Have fun, wait for me to tell you a few words, and then call you."

Jia Baoyu wished he could disappear from Jia Zheng's sight sooner, but Wei Wei Ying did so, seeing that Jia Zheng had no objection, he left immediately.

When Jia Baoyu was away, Mother Jia stopped pretending that nothing had happened, and after dismissing the servants, she ordered Jia Amnesty to tell the story.Jia Zheng was shocked immediately: "Where did this gossip come from? It's just nonsense. Although Baoyu is a bit stubborn, he would never dare to do such a private life-long thing. Who would dare to make such nonsense to arrange us?" !"

Jia Mu said: "Baoyu is now about to talk about marriage, and the palace is also watching closely. At such a moment, there must be no mistakes. It can be seen that the people who spread rumors are vicious. Think about it, but who has been offended?"

Jia She said: "Not only rumors like Baoyu, but also the dowry money that our family cheated on girls. It's not good to get involved in the matter of mother-in-law."

Jia Mu frowned tightly, and said in disapproval: "Boss, who told you that this matter is related to the empress, don't make wild guesses. The empress has golden branches and jade leaves, and she is in the palace. She has nothing to do with gossip outside the palace. Don't be fooled by us." It's better if people make mistakes!"

Jia She blocked his mouth, feeling that the tone in his heart could not be suppressed again, but he still suppressed the urge to sneer, and said cautiously: "Bah, I was wrong. Mother, this matter is naturally maliciously slandered by others. , but now, if we can attract people's hatred, it is natural that the empress gave birth to the prince, and I am afraid that someone with a heart will use this time to make a fuss about the empress."

Jia Zheng glanced at him, and said to Jia's mother: "Brother's words are not unreasonable, and our brothers usually do not offend anyone. We should be careful that such malicious arrangement is aimed at your mother. Mother." , we have to investigate carefully, we can't let anyone damage the good name of the empress."

"It's natural." After talking, but couldn't come up with a regulation, Jia's mother had no choice but to say: "You should investigate this matter carefully, and you must stop the rumors, and you must not spread them to your brother-in-law. Baoyu's I come to see the marriage, and I must find a girl of the same family."

This was said to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng nodded, already understanding what Jia Mu meant.

"Boss, these days, I don't think you need to go out to socialize anymore. There is no one around your wife. If someone has a headache, you should take care of her." Mother Jia ordered Jia Amnesty again.

Jia Amnesty froze for a moment, after a long time, Fang lowered his head, it should be.

Before the rumors outside subsided, Jia's mansion ushered in an unexpected visitor.Xue Pan, who had disappeared for more than half a year, suddenly returned to the capital. In the next afternoon, Jia Baoyu put down his studies and was still in front of the gate of the mansion. He grabbed Xue Pan and entered the second gate unceremoniously.

The companions who followed were all dumbfounded, thinking that Xue Pan was joking with him, so they smiled and followed behind and shouted: "Uncle Xue, walk slowly, our second master is precious, let it go quickly."

Xue Pan snorted coldly: "Your family's second master is naturally precious. Today, let me, who is not precious, open my eyes and see where his gold is!"

Only then did everyone feel that something was wrong, and rushed to stop them.

Xue Pan came on a horse, holding a whip in his hand, whoever got in the way would whip it up fiercely, followed by a series of wailing, everyone was afraid and afraid of hurting Baoyu, but for a while he didn't No one dares to stop him.

Jia Baoyu was in a daze, his neck was held in Xue Pan's hands, Xue Pan was taller and stronger than him, and he couldn't break free, like a fish being pinched by the neck, without any dignity at all.

Where did Jia Baoyu suffer from such suffering? He was angry and angry, struggling hard while saying: "Brother Xue, what's wrong with you, let me down quickly, you can speak out when you are angry, why bother to tease me like this! If you don't let it go, I'm really angry!"

Without saying a word, Xue Pan carried Jia Baoyu to the main room.Jia Zheng had already heard the news, and hurried out from the door. Seeing Xue Pan's statelessness, he immediately became angry.

It's a pity that Xue Pan was much faster than him, and immediately pushed Jia Baoyu in front of him, took a step forward, and said aggressively: "Uncle, I came here today to ask you to comment! What did Auntie say when she was looking for my mother?" , it doesn’t count, I’m here today to ask for an explanation!”

Jia Zheng's accusation was stuck in his throat, and he was so frightened by what Xue Pan said in public, his face was swollen, and he couldn't complete a sentence.

After a while, seeing Xue Pan opened his mouth again, he stopped him with a yell: "Pan'er!" He turned his head sternly and ordered the servants to back down, took a deep breath, and showed a soothing smile: "Pan'er, what are you talking about?" , Uncle decides for you, don’t worry, let’s go into the study and talk about it later.”

Xue Pan's face also softened: "I heard some gossip today. Uncle knows that I am impulsive, so don't blame me for being reckless. Since I have doubts in my mind, I naturally have to find out. I'm not afraid that people won't hear me. Invite the old lady and aunt to talk about it, so that everyone can understand clearly."

Jia Zheng's face twitched a few times. Seeing that Xue Pan was smiling, but his eyes were as firm as iron, knowing that he would not give up, he had to compromise, thinking of asking the old lady and Mrs. Wang to persuade him, because of relatives For the sake of this, it is better not to make trouble, so I sent someone to report to the old lady, and I was in the front, leading Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu to the backyard of Rongxi Hall.

When we arrived at the courtyard where Jia Mu lived, I already felt that the other party was waiting for me.There were several maidservants standing in the corridor, and when they saw someone, they rushed up to greet him: "Old lady, the lady is waiting inside."

Jia Zheng waved his hand, thinking that he had already got the order, but he stopped serving him. Yu Yuanyang stood on the porch, and the rest retreated out of the yard.

Jia Zheng led Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu into the room, opened the curtain, and entered the east wing.On the kang, Jia Mu sat on the top, Mrs. Wang sat on the Taishi chair below, and Sister Feng stood behind her to serve.

Mother Jia's gaze was sophisticated and cold, Mrs. Wang's eyes were like clay sculptures, she glanced past Xue Pan, and Wang Xifeng looked at her nose, nose, and heart, not at all sharp as usual.

Xue Pan didn't change his face. What's the intention of Jia's house to greet him with the attitude of three courts of trial?A sharp look flashed across Xue Pan's eyes, and he finally stepped forward to greet each of them.

Under the crowd of Jia's people, in the past, they would have lowered their heads in timidity, but today they seem to be a different person, there is no trace of fear in their expressions, and there is a kind of ruthlessness that will not give up until they achieve their goals.Jia Mu's heart suddenly burst, knowing that today's matter is not so easy to resolve.

Xue Pan glanced at Mother Jia, and placed it on Mrs. Wang who had been frowning and silent. He smiled and said, "Auntie, I've been busy outside for half a year. When I came home a few days ago, I remembered that I went to the old mansion to repair my mother's family. When we were in the villa, my mother raised 30 silver. My aunt is a Buddhist-minded person, so I couldn’t thank my mother enough, and promised to marry my younger sister. Now my younger sister is in a good age. Although I am reluctant, but a girl, after all Marrying into a woman is the right way forward, and besides marrying to my aunt, my mother and I are 1 at ease, I wonder what kind of regulations are there on my aunt's side?"

"I haven't looked at my sister for half a month, but to avoid suspicion? Now there are some rumors going on outside. I said that there must be no shadow, but the servants at home know it. My sister can't hold back. Yesterday I'm still crying in the room. As an older brother, my heart is cut like a knife. Auntie, you must decide for your sister and Baoyu in this matter. Why don't you take advantage of this sixth ceremony to warm up the marriage between your sister and Baoyu? The commotion is over, and Baoyu is cleared. Old lady, uncle, what do you think?"

Xue Pan stood up straight and stared at Jia Mu, waiting for a reply.

Jia Mu was already trembling with anger. At this time, when she was asked this question, she blurted out: "Absurd! Baoyu's marriage, there is no room for you to claim it!"

Xue Pan yelled: "What? If you want to rely on the Duke's family, you will be treacherous! 30 silver is exchanged for my sister's identity as the mistress. Is it still my arrangement?"

"Pan'er, how can you talk like that?" Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still, she stood up all of a sudden, her face was pale, as if she could turn over at any time, she glared at him tremblingly.Mother Jia's face twitched fiercely, and the number she said made her look at Mrs. Wang in disbelief.

Mrs. Wang dared not raise her head to meet her. At this moment, Xue Pan let out a cold snort from his nose: "Auntie, I was going to ask you this. When I borrowed money that day, did you agree with my mother? Xu's younger sister, Jia Baoyu, who is the official wife, said that this should only be her sister's dowry, and Baoyu will treat her well in the future. You take the money, the villa is built, and the empress has also kissed her relatives. Maybe this will not be counted? If so? If my aunt doesn't give me an explanation today, I'm used to being an idiot, so I won't be afraid even if the troubles come to the government and the sun is shining!"

"Xue Pan, you talk nonsense and dare to threaten us!" Jia Zheng scolded angrily, "Don't forget who allowed you to enter Beijing safely that day. Our Jia family treated you with kindness and kindness. Now you have fallen into trouble, aren't you a villain?" Behavior! Hurry up and shut up!"

"Xue Pan, you can stand here now, don't forget the sins on your body! Don't make such an idea about Baoyu's marriage. Our Jia family's princes for generations will never marry a merchant's daughter as their mother. If you want If you have a relationship with the palace, then you can do your job safely, and we will come forward, otherwise..." Jia Mu's voice was slow and cold, with an indescribable chill.

"So, are you going to renege on your debt?" Xue Pan stepped forward, grabbed Jia Baoyu's lapel, stared fiercely into his eyes, and said word by word: "So, what about you? Jia Baoyu, your family failed me Sister, do you want to disappoint my sister too? Will you marry or not?"

The people in the house became tense, rushed forward one by one, and ordered him to let go of Jia Baoyu, but Xue Pan ignored him, and with a whip in his hand, he tore through the air with a "snap", and slammed everyone on the ground. They were too frightened to make a sound.

Jia Baoyu was ignorant and was lifted almost off the ground by him, his mind was in chaos, and he was still caught in the information he had just received.Is he going to marry Sister Bao as his wife?Sister Bao is plump, beautiful, dignified and magnanimous, and she is an excellent woman. When he thought of the scene with Baochai in his heart, he couldn't help being moved.However, after the heartbeat, there was another trance. This is Sister Bao. If you marry her, what will Sister Lin do?Daiyu's thin figure like a fairy immediately appeared in his mind, and every frown and frown affected his mind. If he was with Sister Lin, if... He unexpectedly thought of another photo that was highly similar to Lin Daiyu but cunning With an incomparable face, he shouted in his heart for a moment, "No, no, no, I don't want to marry Sister Bao, I want to marry Sister Lin".

"No, I don't want to marry Sister Bao, I don't want to marry Sister Bao." The fierce voice came to his ears, and Jia Baoyu was startled, realizing that he had yelled out what was in his heart.Xue Pan's face was horribly livid, he squeezed Jia Baoyu's lapel tightly, let him push him with both hands, and suddenly pushed him hard, pushing Jia Zheng, who was about to call someone in to help, as if he was facing an enemy. In the arms of a group of people.

"Okay, okay, okay! It turns out that you really bullied my Xue family women and children, and humiliated my sister so much today. I swear, you must repay twice as much!" His eyes looked at each person one by one as if he wanted to eat people, as if to Remembering every face in his heart, the people he glanced at couldn't help but tremble, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Mother Jia still held her breath, hugged Jia Baoyu in her arms, made a protective posture, frowned, and resisted her disgust and said to Xue Pan: "Xue Pan, don't be so presumptuous! Baoyu's marriage, It's not as simple as you think. At that time, your mother said that because of relatives, she voluntarily borrowed some money, but the 30 yuan is not just what you said. After I verify it, she will definitely return it in full. And put away those little tricks of yours! You also know that the spread of such rumors will not only hurt Baoyu, but also hurt Miss Bao's innocence, so don't do reckless things."

Mother Jia's words were full of resentment, and Xue Pan sensitively realized that the resentment was not only aimed at himself, ha, this is what his good aunt did!But so what, let them have their own headaches——

"Within three days, 30 taels, one penny less, don't let me disregard relatives." Xue Pan sneered, then turned around and added: "Aunt, Uncle, today is the last time I call you two like this, From today onwards, our Xuejia family will be ruthless!"

Xue Pan made a big fuss in Jia's mansion, and within half an hour, the news reached Lin's mansion.Lin Mingyu listened with great interest to the information obtained by the steward, it was a pity that Xue Pan was useless to tear up with Jia's mansion on the spot.

But 30 taels of silver, with Jia's current wealth, I am afraid that it will be difficult to come up with this cash within three days, the best show is yet to come.

Sure enough, Jia's mansion was in a dilemma. After Xue Pan left, he appeased Jia Baoyu, who would only add to the chaos.

Xue Pan had the guts to make a fuss and blatantly force the marriage, which was never expected by Mother Jia and others. Naturally, Mrs. Wang did not say how to coax Aunt Xue about borrowing money that day, but only said that her younger sister lent it to her. , not promising, and not afraid of debt collection, the Jia family is in a hurry, although it feels that 10 taels is a little less, but it is an urgent solution. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang is holding on for a few days, and Jia Zheng is also soft on her. And a lot.Who would have thought that Xue Pan would appear today, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely stiff.

Mrs. Wang's head drooped to her chest, she lost her previous proud posture, and knelt tremblingly in front of Jia Mu under the accusations of everyone's eyes.

"Mother, I..."

"—Second daughter-in-law, I have always felt that although you are a little round-the-clock, and your heart is a bit petty, but you are born in a famous family, you always put the family first, and you understand the truth. I just ask you, you took it How much money did the Xue family have, and how did you get it?" Mother Jia was extremely tired, looking at the old ladies and gentlemen in front of her, her heart was so empty that she wanted to grab her crutches and beat them one by one!

She squinted her eyes, and her eyes were like needles, so Mrs. Wang had no room to hide: "I have to listen to the truth now! If there is a false statement, my Jia family will not tolerate you as a big Buddha!"

"Mother..." Mrs. Wang cried out sadly, and seeing Jia Zheng's merciless face, she finally sank down and confessed the truth tremblingly.She used Baoyu Baochai's marriage to take 30 taels of silver from Aunt Xue, and because of selfishness, she only handed over 10 taels to the public.

"Brothers and sisters, what can we say about you? How dare you? Speaking of which, your mother is your own daughter. For this reason, our eldest family also went bankrupt and gave away a few dollars of our own body. How could you do such a thing! Really, really..." Jia She was heartbroken, and his unfinished tone was full of unfortunate four family members. Character.

"Brother and sister, tell me quickly, tell me what are your difficulties, you are the head of the family, if there is no serious reason, how can you do such a thing, if you tell it, who will believe it." Mrs. Xing stepped on her foot, you Didn't you rely on the head of the house to embezzle the big house openly and secretly? Let's see what face you have to go to the head of the house today!

"You all shut up and let her talk!"

Mother Jia stopped Jia She and his wife in annoyance, and looked coldly at Mrs. Wang on the ground.

"Mother, I, although I left some silver, but I didn't keep this money for myself. Your Majesty, it was so difficult for your Majesty to get favor in the palace. Who is not powerful in the palace? The daughter-in-law also loves the child, Fang did something wrong, mother, master..." Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng pleadingly: "...I was wrong, I was too selfish, I loved my child too much, and I did such a thing without telling it. They are all regretting!"

"Hmph, what face do you have to say about your mother? If your mother knows that you poured sewage on her like this, she will be regretful and sad!" Jia's mother was very disappointed, and said to Jia Zheng: "Zheng'er, this is your daughter-in-law, my old lady." I can't discipline you anymore, you can handle it yourself."

"Master, I was wrong, I really..."

Jia Mu had already closed her eyes, and Jia Zheng was so humiliated that he interrupted Mrs. Wang by shouting violently, and locked her in her yard himself, before returning to Jia Mu's courtyard to confess his crime.Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't forgive lightly, but the trouble she caused was what needed to be dealt with the most.
