The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 73 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Although King Huainan was very happy to sell Song Xi's face, he was also very curious why Song Xi questioned the cause of his side concubine's death and had to investigate it himself.
"Sudden deaths occur frequently, and it is suspected to be an epidemic, so we need to investigate." Song Xi explained with a random reason.
When King Huainan heard that it was an 'epidemic disease', he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Song Xi with a little fear: "Epidemic disease? Then we won't be infected."
Song Xi took a special look at King Huainan, but didn't answer.
Huainan King was even more afraid because of this, but he didn't dare to show too cowardly on his face, so he drank tea from a teacup to cover up his panic.
Jia She, on the other hand, had a panoramic view of King Huainan's every move.
Obviously, the Huainan King didn't know the cause of his side concubine's death, and his attitude and expression were very frank, so the matter should have nothing to do with him.
Jia Amnesty then turned to observe the environment inside the house. This is the lobby of the main house, which is magnificently furnished and very luxurious.King Huainan is a county king. Compared with the Third Prince's Wei Wang Mansion, although the room size is not as big as others, the layout is more exquisite.
Turning to look at the maids waiting in the room, all of them have rich and round faces, comely and lovely, and all wear gold and silver, silk and satin.Those who didn't know took a look and thought it was a young lady from a wealthy family.
When he first entered the mansion, Jia She looked at the other maids in the mansion, and they were all dressed up like ordinary maids in ordinary mansions.These in the room are very particular, so they should be used to support the scene.
It can also be seen from this that the King of Huainan should be a person who has a good face and pays attention to ostentation.
"Today, in the name of inspection, I also want to catch up with the lord. So I invited Mr. Jia to handle this case for me. I wonder if the lord would mind?" Song Xi's voice was pleasant, and his words were gentle and polite.
King Huainan immediately nodded in agreement.The King of Huainan also had no objection to Jia She's ability to take charge of the case. After all, Jia She was famous for breaking Ding'an's murder case before.Everyone in the court also knew that Jia She and Song Xi had a good relationship, so the King of Huainan didn't think it was unusual for Jia She to intervene this time.Instead, he sent the housekeeper to entertain Jia Amnesty, so if you have any doubts, just ask him.
Jia Amnesty finally escaped from the socializing between the two, quite happy.Under the guidance of the butler, they walked around the back garden of the palace.Immediately, the butler followed Jia She's order and called all the maids and women who were beside Concubine Yu to wait for Jia She's questioning.
Jia Amnesty sat in the gazebo, prepared a pen and paper, and asked questions to the servants lined up in front of him.
"Before your master got the strange disease, who did you meet?"
"Half a month ago, my cousin came here and stayed with her for four days."
Jia Amnesty: "My cousin?"
Jia Amnesty immediately got an explanation from the housekeeper that this cousin girl is the daughter of Concubine Yu's natal elder brother, she is only six years old this year, playful and lively, Concubine Yu often likes to ask her to come and play for a few days because she has never had children.
Jia Amnesty immediately crossed "cousin girl" on the notebook, and then asked if there were others.
The servants all shook their heads, saying no.
The palace is deep in the courtyard, and the side concubine does not occasionally go out to socialize like the main concubine, and basically does not leave the palace for a whole year, and because the side concubine's natal family is in Liuzhou, he is the only relative in the capital who is a fifth-rank official Brother, her sister-in-law died the year before last, so apart from her young niece, she doesn't have any natal family to go around, so she really doesn't have anyone to associate with on weekdays.
"In the past six months, your side concubine hasn't been out of the house?" Jia She asked.
The servants thought about it, "Except for the early morning of the [-]th day of the first month of the year, she and the women in the mansion went to the temple with the princess to pray for blessings for half an hour. At that time, we all went to serve , there are no outsiders around."
Jia Amnesty frowned, tapped the pencil a few times on the notebook, and asked them to carefully recall if anything strange happened before the concubine Yu fell ill.
All the maids and women shook their heads blankly.
Seeing that their expressions were genuine and calm, Jia She knew that they probably did not hide anything.Only one woman pursed her lips slightly, as if she knew something.Jia Amnesty then asked the housekeeper if he could talk to everyone alone in this gazebo.
The butler hesitated.
"You just watch from the waterside pavilion over there, I keep a distance from them and never do anything."
The housekeeper hurriedly apologized, "Lord Jia, look at what you said, you are a dignified and high-ranking official, how can these lowly maidservants catch your eyes, if you really like them, I'm afraid our prince will not be happy in time, immediately Hand over to others."
What the housekeeper cares about is whether these maids will speak ill of the lord, and after thinking about it, these people don't have anything to know. If this matter offends Mrs. Jia, immediately go back to Mrs. Song and disturb him. If he heard the conversation between their lord and Master Song, then he is really guilty.The butler then led the people back away and waited on him from a distance.
Jia Amnesty asked them one by one in a dignified manner, and when he finally came to the woman, he immediately said, "If you have any doubts, just speak up. It may be a useful clue. It doesn't matter if you think it's not accurate. Anyway, if there is no real evidence in the final investigation, he will not be wronged."
The mother-in-law agreed, and said: "Because our master has always been favored by the prince, he has provoked the jealousy of many concubines and beauties in the mansion. Last month, there was a new lady Pan Mei in the mansion. She is the concubine daughter of the servant of the Ministry of War. Beautiful, with a graceful figure, she has won the favor of the lord these days. Who knows that Pan Meiren is so favored, but she always finds our side concubine disliked. Every time we meet, she must give false compliments, and then Standing up her big breasts to show off in front of our side concubine, talking about the love between her and the prince. Every time the side concubine will be so angry by her words that she can't eat."
A Pan beauty who just entered the mansion.
Jia She continued to put on a bored look on his face, the purpose was to prevent these people from being suspected by the housekeeper and embarrassing them afterwards.
The mother-in-law immediately bowed and quickly backed away.
The butler came over with a smile and asked Jia Amnesty how his harvest was.
"Nothing special."
Jia She looked at the butler with two eyes. He was in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, but a high nose bridge, and shrewd eyes.
"By the way, I've talked to you so much, and I still don't know your name."
"Master, the younger one is Luo Hongxi."
"Hongxi, that's a good name." Jia She sighed.
Luo Hongxi smiled and nodded in agreement, saying that he was extremely grateful to the benefactor who named him.
"Oh, you didn't get your name from your parents?"
"The little one used to be called Erzhu, which was a bit vulgar. Later, he went out for fun and fell into the moat and almost died. Fortunately, he was saved by a benefactor, so his parents begged the benefactor to give him a new name."
"Survival will bring blessings, you are lucky." Jia She turned to laughing, "When I mentioned your original name, I couldn't help but want to say, there are so many people with 'pig' in their names, and there are two of them by my side. .”
"In the first 30 or [-] years, it was called this. Pigs are blessed. Look at the sacrifices, they would put a red-skinned and red-skinned roast pig to please Yi."
……
After coming out of Huainan Palace, Song Xi asked Jia She if he had collected any useful information.
Jia Amnesty nodded.
"What?" Song Xi asked.
"Basically, it can be confirmed that it has nothing to do with King Huainan," Jia She said.
"That's all you got?" Song Xi asked in surprise.
Jia She nodded, "Then there is Pan Meiren, but I'm not sure if it's useful. By the way, how is Wu Zuo? Did you find anything?"
"There is no wound on the surface, and it's not poisoning, so nothing can be found out." After Song Xi said, seeing Jia She frowned in confusion, he told him not to think too much, maybe he really died because of his illness.
Jia Amnesty handed Song Xi a list of 14 people.
"The concubine Yu's symptoms before her death were the same as those of the fourteen people in the past two years. They all had headaches, then went crazy, and then were dying. No matter how much she sought medical treatment, the cause could not be diagnosed. Do you think this is also a coincidence?"
Song Xi glanced at the list above, and said bluntly that there were quite a lot of people who died in this way, and there were many names he had heard of before.
"Among the dead, there were three males and 11 females. Including the concubine Yu this time, the number is 12. There are many males and females. What do you think?" Jia She asked.
Song Xi looked at Jia She and raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand such things, he never cared about the dead.
Seeing that Song Xi couldn't provide him with any favorable advice, Jia Amnesty sighed and leaned against the car window in a daze.
Seeing this, Song Xi felt that for the first time in history, someone thought he was not smart enough.He suddenly grabbed Jia She's hand.
Jia Amnesty looked back at him for no reason, and found that Song Xi was looking at him with pitiful eyes like a child.
Jia She looked at Song Xi in bewilderment, and said in a coaxing tone, "Little friend, tell uncle quickly, what's wrong with you?"
Song Xi originally wanted to say something, but when he heard that Jia She spoke to him in such a joking tone, he suddenly had nothing to say.He glared at him, and simply closed his eyes to rest.
Jia She laughed, "Look at you, you're so nonchalant. I was thinking about the case just now, and I think the murderer must have been walking around in the back house."
Song Xi didn't open his eyes when he heard the words, but his hands were ruthless, holding on to Jia Amnesty's hand and not letting go.
When the carriage arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty's hand was already sore by Song Xi, but Song Xi still refused to let go.
From Song Xi's indifferent expression, Jia Amnesty still saw a trace of anxiety that he was trying to hide, so he hugged him, smiled and said see you tomorrow.
Song Xi's handsome face only slightly loosened, he let go of his hand, his face remained as calm as usual, and nodded with Jia She.
Jia Amnesty nodded to him again, turned around and got off the car quickly.
Just now, Jia Amnesty sighed casually because he was troubled that the case had not progressed, who knows what was going on in Song Xi's mind, and it hurt to squeeze his hand.
But Jia Amnesty knew that Song Xi did this because he hated him, so he didn't mean to blame him.When he lost control of his emotions, Jia Amnesty felt that it was good to see Song Xi's human side.He was so magnificent and refined all day long, it was so boring, and somehow made people feel a sense of distance.
At the moment, Song Xi, who was sitting in the carriage, was annoyed by his gaffe just now.He became more and more unable to control himself, and began to worry about gains and losses.It's time to calm down for a few days and regain your sanity.
……
After Jia Amnesty returned to Rongxi Hall, he waited for the results of the black pig's inquiry.
As night fell, the black pig ran back and reported to Jia Amnesty the results of his inquiries about the people on the list.
"Among the 14 people surveyed this time, all the female family members had no contact with any special people before the onset of the disease, but they suddenly became ill, and no doctor would look after them. Because the men would go out, they met more people. , but it was still the same as usual, and I didn't have too many conflicts with anyone. Although these fourteen people are all in the high school, they don't have much contact with each other, but two or three met each other when they were socializing. , but they are just acquaintances who nod, but they have no close relationship in essence, and some have never even heard each other's names."
Again no leads.
After Jia Amnesty thought about it, he could only find common ground among these people and sum up some other possibilities.
"The three male deceased were all seventeen or eighteen years old. They were all legitimate sons, and they were very favored at home. The female relatives also had a similar situation. They were not very old, and the oldest among them was only 29 years old. They were either the grandma who was in charge of the family. , or wives and concubines who are very favored by the men in the family. And these people were all healthy before, without any old diseases." After Jia She finished speaking, he asked the black pig what they thought.
Zhu Mao was the first to shake his head, unable to figure out why these people were killed.
The black pig thought hard, "Being envied by others?"
Jia She nodded, "I also think this is more likely."
"But it's okay for anyone to be jealous of the east and west. If these women in the back house live under the same roof, you may be framed if you fight for it. It is impossible to have enmity with all the female relatives of these twelve families at the same time. Besides, there are three men." Zhu Mao objected.
The black pig also thought it was reasonable, and asked the master for his opinion.
Naturally, Jia Amnesty couldn't figure it out, thinking about it now would only give him a headache, so he waved his hand and sent them all back.He also asked Hei Zhu to instruct his subordinates to find out more about the fifteen dead people. This time, no matter what the size of the news, they will be collected. Jia Amnesty intends to personally investigate one by one to see if he can find anything else. Useful leads.
As for Pan Meiren in the Huainan Palace, Jia Amnesty would not let her go, and asked someone to investigate together to see if this Pan Meiren had a motive for committing the crime, and whether there were any abnormal people walking around with her before the crime.
Jia Amnesty then let go of this matter, sometimes taking a proper break and starting with a different way of thinking might be more rewarding.Jia Amnesty left the notebook on the desk and passed on the dinner first.
At this time, Jia Lian had to come over to say hello, with a maid carrying a food box behind her.While asking someone to bring out the dishes in the food box, he explained the origin of these dishes to Jia Shen.In accordance with Jia She's past habits, he prepared a simple four dishes and one soup, with a combination of meat and vegetables, light and refreshing, and all the dishes were made with nourishing things such as yam, wolfberry, ginseng, and ganoderma.
Jia Lian said that these dishes were the recipes he asked from the palace by taking the opportunity of doing internal affairs, and specially ordered the cook to prepare them carefully for Jia Amnesty's body.I also want Jia Hui to arrange people to cook different nourishing dishes for Jia Amnesty every day in the future.
Seeing Jia Lian's filial piety, Jia Amnesty would not refuse his kindness, so he took a bite of the dish with chopsticks, and the taste was not bad.As long as it doesn't delay his normal meal, Jia Amnesty will not pick anything, so he nods in agreement, and then asks Jia Lian to sit down and have dinner with him.Jia Lian was so terrified that he sat down happily and had dinner with his father.
After dinner, Jia Cong came to greet Jia Amnesty.When he saw Jia Lian, he was a bit unfamiliar, but he had all the necessary etiquette.
Jia Lian really wanted to slap himself. When he saw Jia Cong before, he secretly warned himself to pay more attention to his concubine brother in the future.But every time I thought about it but didn't do it, it just passed day by day.
Jia Lian coaxed Jia Cong to come over guiltily, and asked him what books he had been reading these two days and what words he had learned.
"Second Brother Lian, I already know how to recite the Three Character Classic backwards, are you serious?" Jia Cong asked proudly.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then sighed quickly: "Amazing, my good third brother is the smartest and amazing."
Jia Lian felt embarrassed about himself, but he couldn't recite the Three Character Classic up to now.He is really not as good as a three or four-year-old doll. It's hard for his father to dislike him so much before, and it's true that he doesn't live up to it.
Jia Lian turned to ask Jia Cong what he wanted, and he could get it for him in the future.
Jia Cong shook his head, saying that he didn't lack anything.
Jia Lian smiled embarrassingly, she actually made fun of herself in front of a three-year-old child.
Jia Amnesty asked Jia Cong about his homework, and when he saw that he performed well, he praised him without hesitation, encouraged the child to be full of interest, and expressed that he would read the book carefully when he returned home.After all, he stopped being playful, took the initiative to resign with Jia She, and ran back to the room by himself.
Jia Lian was really moved. He never expected that his concubine brother, who had been ignored by the whole family, was now so smart and cute.I don't know if my ancestors have ever seen such a sensible and well-behaved Jia Cong. If they did, I'm afraid that the old man would like her so much that she would be reluctant to let go.
After Jia Lian watched Jia Cong disappear from the door, he realized that he hurriedly turned around to salute the elder and wanted to leave.I don't know why, just after seeing Cong's third brother like that, he felt ashamed to stay any longer.
Jia She glanced at Jia Lian, and saw that Jia Lian's face seemed to have an inferiority complex, so he told him: "Everyone has his own ambitions, so don't think about Jia Cong. He has his strengths, and you have your abilities. Be proud, and don’t underestimate yourself. Now that you have become an official of the insider, you should work hard, do it well, and make a fortune in what you are good at.”
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his father to say such touching words of encouragement to him, tears welled up in his eyes.In my heart, I was surprised that my father was so strong that he could see through his emotions at a glance, and at the same time, I was grateful for Jia She's kind words.
Jia Lian sincerely kowtowed to Jia Amnesty, vowing that he would live up to his expectations.
"Don't make any oaths with me. After all, if you are really worthless, I still have a son. Your daughter-in-law is different. She is the one who is sincere and determined to spend the rest of her life with you. Feng girl's mouth is It's a bit powerful, but you still have the ability. It's thanks to her taking care of you these years, otherwise, think about it, what kind of trouble will you make?
She knows that your words don't count, but every time you swear to correct your mistakes, she is willing to believe them. I hope that after every vow, you will really reform and never do it again.No one in the house would say that she is a smart, quick-witted, and slick person with 1 minds.You let people down again and again, will she not understand?Why is it still good with you, still want to believe?It's not because she is stupid or stupid, but because you are her husband, the only husband and family she can count on in her life.So when dealing with you, you must be a hundred times or even ten thousand times more patient than others. "
Jia Lian nodded sullenly.
Jia She sneered, "Have you ever thought about how hard it is for a smart person like her to endure a stupid and lustful man like you?"
Jia Lian looked at Jia She in surprise, "Father! My son is not as useless as you say."
"Oh, remember to eat but not to fight, it's really hard to find another person like you in this world. I just made a promise to me yesterday, and when I turned around and slept, I lost my head. Don't think I don't I know, you made a fool of yourself again this morning and molested a housekeeper's wife in the house. If it weren't for the people who don't have a wife looking at you, I'm afraid you would have gotten out of bed. I hope you can really get out, so I don't have to worry about it in the future The ancestral graves in Jinling have not been swept away."
Jia Amnesty gave Jia Lian a sweet date, and then hit Jia Lian with a stick.Let Jia Lian's happiness turn to sadness, his heart fluctuates, and he feels anxious.He didn't expect that the Elder Master would know all about this little private matter.
After finally saying goodbye to the old man, Jia Lian was thinking about what the old man said before as he walked all the way back.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had indeed lost to Wang Xifeng, but he still couldn't figure it out. If he was lecherous and slept with a few women, what could be a big mistake? Doesn't a man have several concubines in his family, but she is so strict? .
Jia Lian walked slowly. Before he went back, Wang Xifeng had already got the news from the old man.Naturally, Wang Xifeng was extremely grateful to the Elder Master for helping her train Jia Lian again, but Jia Lian's temperament might not change in a short while.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was worried, Mrs. Yin came up with an idea to Wang Xifeng, "I think the second master has a wild mind and always likes to steal. One is that he is lustful by nature and is greedy for this matter; the other is that he is restrained and becomes more talented. I feel that everything outside smells good. You don’t care about looking at it, find ten or eight of them at home, and let those Yingying and Yanyan make trouble with him all day long, and worry about him in front of his eyes. After a long time like this, he will Naturally, you will know the benefits of being quiet, and you will be able to gain a reputation as a 'virtuous'."
"Is this idea reliable?" Wang Xifeng murmured inwardly, worried that Jia Lian would not be able to be pulled back if he were to be released like this.
Mrs. Yin laughed, "Second Grandma Lian still doesn't understand how this old slave can have such a brain, she really came up with this idea."
Wang Xifeng suddenly understood that this was what her father-in-law meant, and she probably mentioned it to Mrs. Yin because she was too embarrassed to tell her directly.Since it was the method that my father-in-law wanted to come up with, Wang Xifeng felt a little uneasy, and decided to give it a try according to what he said.Anyway, Wang Xifeng now inexplicably believes that the elder will not deceive herself, and is wholeheartedly for the good of the couple.
Wang Xifeng pondered over the candidates.
Mrs. Yin smiled: "If Second Grandma really doesn't care about this matter, she is willing to give it a try. Second Grandma doesn't need to worry about the selection of candidates, and you don't need to spend money. You can just arrange some rooms in the yard and wait for people to come later." Yes. But there is a saying that needs to be told to the Second Mistress in advance, these girls are here, Second Mistress don’t hold them back, the girls will make some noise, but they will only make trouble in this small courtyard, and will never go out to the Second Mistress Grandma and Second Master Lian are causing trouble."
Wang Xifeng listened to Mrs. Yin's instructions so meticulously, she expected to be prepared, so she nodded.
Mrs. Yin turned to pass the message on behalf of Jia She, asking her to pay attention to Jia's mother's mood, and then she had nothing to say and retreated.
Not long after, Jia Lian came back with a smile, and she was about to stick to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng pushed him away with a cold face, telling him that she was not in the mood.
"You man, the master just persuaded me to treat you wholeheartedly, and you despise me. How can I work hard?"
"You don't need to work hard. You just can't change your lustful problem. Tomorrow, I'll go outside and find seven or eight beautiful girls for you. Let these Yingyingyanyans accompany you every day and give you Play enough!"
Jia Lian thought Wang Xifeng was joking, so she shook her head and laughed in disbelief, thinking she was joking.
Unexpectedly, there were seven or eight more girls in the yard the next day, and all of them were young and beautiful, and their skin was so tender that water could be squeezed out.The most terrible thing is that these girls each have their own temperament, savage, gentle, aggressive... Jia Lian was dazzled for a moment, and he couldn't help himself.
Every day, when he wakes up in the morning, the first thing he does is to hope that the day will pass quickly, and he will come back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs as soon as possible, so that he can hang out with these little beauties happily.
Wang Xifeng was quite generous during these days, and only said that except for Jia Lian coming to the main room on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the rest of the time was tossing with him.
Jia Lian was a little guilty at first, thinking it was Wang Xifeng's trap.
But Wang Xifeng said: "You are now an official and lord. What I can control you is naturally to please you. It is serious to keep your position as the wife. You only need to think about my goodness in your heart, and I promise you will not Shaking my position, I will bear with your little hobby, and I will obey you. If the old man finds out, I will explain to you, and nothing will happen. From now on, I only hope that you will stop going out to shame people and hook up What kind of daughter-in-law and widow are really arrested and sentenced to adultery, and my official wife is not allowed to do it."
Once Jia Lian heard that Wang Xifeng's explanation made sense, he no longer doubted anything else.She promised well that she would keep Wang Xifeng's position as wife, and turned around and hung out with those women happily every day.
Wang Xifeng looked upset, so she simply went to accompany Jia Mu.It happened that Jia Mu was not in a good mood these two days, Wang Xifeng accompanied and comforted her every day, and she was able to please Jia Mu.
Jia's mother has always been concerned about Baoyu's affairs. When she thought of letting Baoyu go to study outside and seeing him for three days in a month, Jia's mother was reluctant and her heart ached.But then I was afraid that Baoyu would be like Jia She had predicted in the future. After staying in the back house for a long time, he developed a girl's temperament and his share of idiots.If Baoyu gets older and becomes more and more stupid and unreasonable, then she will bear most of the responsibility.After his death, there is absolutely no way to explain to the ancestors of Rongfu.
"I only heard that Lushan Academy is really a good place to study. If I have a child in the future, I will definitely send him there so that he can study and improve." Wang Xifeng sighed with a smile.
"You are becoming more and more a good daughter-in-law of your grandpa, and I will only listen to half of what you say in the future." Jiamu cast a reproachful look at Wang Xifeng, shook her head and said half-jokingly.
Wang Xifeng also laughed, and turned to discuss with Jia's mother, asking her if she really wanted Baoyu and Daiyu to get married.
"I have an old sister. The eldest son got engaged to someone early. Who knew that the girl went there before she lived to be eight years old. Later, she got engaged to another one and died again. In the end, she ended up with a life-threatening wife. , I want to find a better-matched girl, and everyone hates it. Therefore, the marriage between the children should be settled after they are older." Jia's mother's meaning is obvious, no matter who she is, she is now Baoyu's marriage will not be considered.
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng felt relieved, and said as if chatting: "I think Uncle Lin specially invited her nuns from the palace to teach her. I heard that these nuns teach the rules very strictly. Last time I saw The nuns brought by Sister Lin thought it was amazing. Later I heard that those nuns still pay attention to the fact that men and women have different seats at the age of eight, and they don't even look down on our brother Bao and the maids and sisters who don't distinguish between you and me. "
"Who said that, those mothers? Don't you think that our Rong Mansion has no rules?" Mother Jia asked in amazement.
"I didn't tell me personally, but someone overheard these wives whispering behind their backs. If you ask me, it's a bit poisonous, but there are reasons for it. It's really hard to tell them now. Brother and sister meet too much. I didn't pay attention to this matter without the Eldest Master, but Brother Bao has a different kind of infatuation towards Sister Lin. The other sisters are like this! If brother Bao really gets more and more crazy, and finally makes a fuss, with his nature, he will do something very reasonable if he doesn't keep it safe."
Mother Jia frowned.
"If you want me to say, when you are old enough, you see that they are really suitable, and it is not too late for you to talk about this relationship. You are Lin Yatou's grandmother, so it is easy to mention this, and it doesn't matter. Right now The most important thing is to get rid of the idiot in Baoyu's heart as soon as possible, and correct his problem of being confused in the inner room, and let him learn to walk on the right path." Xiang Wang Xifeng suggested.
Mother Jia thought about it for the same reason, so she nodded, and then she was puzzled again, and her whole body suddenly trembled.
"No! The women of the Lin family criticize us like this behind our backs. I think it's probably because of their master's instructions. If this is true, it means that your Uncle Lin has a problem with the rules of our Rongfu!" Mother Jia The more I thought about it, the more I became frustrated, "How could he speculate on us so maliciously? I have never thought of Baoyu and Miss Lin. Just like what you said just now, if I really want to get married with them, then It’s just a matter of saying a word, why should I bother to 'play tricks' to get them close first. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let your sister Lin go back with your uncle!"
Wang Xifeng was confused by Jia's mother.Since the old ancestor clarified his innocence, he said that he never speculated about Baoyu and Daiyu.Then he should follow Uncle Lin to take Daiyu away, and then why regret not keeping Daiyu?
"Old Ancestor, please remind me that I am stupid, I am really confused." Wang Xifeng couldn't figure it out.
"It's just that I can't bear the grievance. My old lady helped him raise his daughter with good intentions, but she was full of complaints." Jia Mu said angrily, "How can such a father with vicious and deep thoughts teach a good daughter? How can I If you can let him continue to raise Daiyu, that girl is Min'er's only kind, and others don't love her, but I do!"
Mother Jia blushed so anxiously that she immediately called for someone to go to Lin's mansion to pass a message, and then asked someone to prepare a car. She was going to Lin's mansion right away to reason with Lin Ruhai.
Only then did Wang Xifeng come to her senses, and she opened her eyes wide: "It's just those women talking about Hu Qin, whoever said it must be Uncle Lin's intentions. Just blame me for saying something that shouldn't be said. I should hit you. If you are angry, you will Just slap me twice."
"What are you fighting for! I still want to thank you. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Uncle Lin had such a big opinion on our Rongfu. What kind of nonsense are those women? This kind of thinking is not instilled by the master. Don’t think that my old lady is confused, I still understand this point. He Lin Ruhai just looks down on our Rongfu, guards against us, and taboos Baoyu. As I said last time, I called someone Go and invite Daiyu here, asking her to stay for a few more days is not in the way, but those women stopped her and took her back the same day. So it was all under his command!"
Mother Jia was so angry that after changing clothes, she took people out.
Wang Xifeng had never seen Jia's mother so powerful before, so she hurriedly sent someone to inform Jia Amnesty, and she also hurriedly followed.While supporting Jia Mu, he comforted Jia Mu not to be impulsive.
But Jia Mu was getting angry, her face was red, and she forced Wang Xifeng to shut up.Otherwise, if she is talking, send her back immediately without her company.
Wang Xifeng had no choice but to follow Jia Mu's wishes, not to say any opinions, but to follow honestly.
After Jia She received the news, he immediately sent someone to notify Lin Ruhai.Just as Jia Mu was sitting in the Lin family hall, Jia Amnesty and Lin Ruhai came at the same time.
"Sudden deaths occur frequently, and it is suspected to be an epidemic, so we need to investigate." Song Xi explained with a random reason.
When King Huainan heard that it was an 'epidemic disease', he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Song Xi with a little fear: "Epidemic disease? Then we won't be infected."
Song Xi took a special look at King Huainan, but didn't answer.
Huainan King was even more afraid because of this, but he didn't dare to show too cowardly on his face, so he drank tea from a teacup to cover up his panic.
Jia She, on the other hand, had a panoramic view of King Huainan's every move.
Obviously, the Huainan King didn't know the cause of his side concubine's death, and his attitude and expression were very frank, so the matter should have nothing to do with him.
Jia Amnesty then turned to observe the environment inside the house. This is the lobby of the main house, which is magnificently furnished and very luxurious.King Huainan is a county king. Compared with the Third Prince's Wei Wang Mansion, although the room size is not as big as others, the layout is more exquisite.
Turning to look at the maids waiting in the room, all of them have rich and round faces, comely and lovely, and all wear gold and silver, silk and satin.Those who didn't know took a look and thought it was a young lady from a wealthy family.
When he first entered the mansion, Jia She looked at the other maids in the mansion, and they were all dressed up like ordinary maids in ordinary mansions.These in the room are very particular, so they should be used to support the scene.
It can also be seen from this that the King of Huainan should be a person who has a good face and pays attention to ostentation.
"Today, in the name of inspection, I also want to catch up with the lord. So I invited Mr. Jia to handle this case for me. I wonder if the lord would mind?" Song Xi's voice was pleasant, and his words were gentle and polite.
King Huainan immediately nodded in agreement.The King of Huainan also had no objection to Jia She's ability to take charge of the case. After all, Jia She was famous for breaking Ding'an's murder case before.Everyone in the court also knew that Jia She and Song Xi had a good relationship, so the King of Huainan didn't think it was unusual for Jia She to intervene this time.Instead, he sent the housekeeper to entertain Jia Amnesty, so if you have any doubts, just ask him.
Jia Amnesty finally escaped from the socializing between the two, quite happy.Under the guidance of the butler, they walked around the back garden of the palace.Immediately, the butler followed Jia She's order and called all the maids and women who were beside Concubine Yu to wait for Jia She's questioning.
Jia Amnesty sat in the gazebo, prepared a pen and paper, and asked questions to the servants lined up in front of him.
"Before your master got the strange disease, who did you meet?"
"Half a month ago, my cousin came here and stayed with her for four days."
Jia Amnesty: "My cousin?"
Jia Amnesty immediately got an explanation from the housekeeper that this cousin girl is the daughter of Concubine Yu's natal elder brother, she is only six years old this year, playful and lively, Concubine Yu often likes to ask her to come and play for a few days because she has never had children.
Jia Amnesty immediately crossed "cousin girl" on the notebook, and then asked if there were others.
The servants all shook their heads, saying no.
The palace is deep in the courtyard, and the side concubine does not occasionally go out to socialize like the main concubine, and basically does not leave the palace for a whole year, and because the side concubine's natal family is in Liuzhou, he is the only relative in the capital who is a fifth-rank official Brother, her sister-in-law died the year before last, so apart from her young niece, she doesn't have any natal family to go around, so she really doesn't have anyone to associate with on weekdays.
"In the past six months, your side concubine hasn't been out of the house?" Jia She asked.
The servants thought about it, "Except for the early morning of the [-]th day of the first month of the year, she and the women in the mansion went to the temple with the princess to pray for blessings for half an hour. At that time, we all went to serve , there are no outsiders around."
Jia Amnesty frowned, tapped the pencil a few times on the notebook, and asked them to carefully recall if anything strange happened before the concubine Yu fell ill.
All the maids and women shook their heads blankly.
Seeing that their expressions were genuine and calm, Jia She knew that they probably did not hide anything.Only one woman pursed her lips slightly, as if she knew something.Jia Amnesty then asked the housekeeper if he could talk to everyone alone in this gazebo.
The butler hesitated.
"You just watch from the waterside pavilion over there, I keep a distance from them and never do anything."
The housekeeper hurriedly apologized, "Lord Jia, look at what you said, you are a dignified and high-ranking official, how can these lowly maidservants catch your eyes, if you really like them, I'm afraid our prince will not be happy in time, immediately Hand over to others."
What the housekeeper cares about is whether these maids will speak ill of the lord, and after thinking about it, these people don't have anything to know. If this matter offends Mrs. Jia, immediately go back to Mrs. Song and disturb him. If he heard the conversation between their lord and Master Song, then he is really guilty.The butler then led the people back away and waited on him from a distance.
Jia Amnesty asked them one by one in a dignified manner, and when he finally came to the woman, he immediately said, "If you have any doubts, just speak up. It may be a useful clue. It doesn't matter if you think it's not accurate. Anyway, if there is no real evidence in the final investigation, he will not be wronged."
The mother-in-law agreed, and said: "Because our master has always been favored by the prince, he has provoked the jealousy of many concubines and beauties in the mansion. Last month, there was a new lady Pan Mei in the mansion. She is the concubine daughter of the servant of the Ministry of War. Beautiful, with a graceful figure, she has won the favor of the lord these days. Who knows that Pan Meiren is so favored, but she always finds our side concubine disliked. Every time we meet, she must give false compliments, and then Standing up her big breasts to show off in front of our side concubine, talking about the love between her and the prince. Every time the side concubine will be so angry by her words that she can't eat."
A Pan beauty who just entered the mansion.
Jia She continued to put on a bored look on his face, the purpose was to prevent these people from being suspected by the housekeeper and embarrassing them afterwards.
The mother-in-law immediately bowed and quickly backed away.
The butler came over with a smile and asked Jia Amnesty how his harvest was.
"Nothing special."
Jia She looked at the butler with two eyes. He was in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, but a high nose bridge, and shrewd eyes.
"By the way, I've talked to you so much, and I still don't know your name."
"Master, the younger one is Luo Hongxi."
"Hongxi, that's a good name." Jia She sighed.
Luo Hongxi smiled and nodded in agreement, saying that he was extremely grateful to the benefactor who named him.
"Oh, you didn't get your name from your parents?"
"The little one used to be called Erzhu, which was a bit vulgar. Later, he went out for fun and fell into the moat and almost died. Fortunately, he was saved by a benefactor, so his parents begged the benefactor to give him a new name."
"Survival will bring blessings, you are lucky." Jia She turned to laughing, "When I mentioned your original name, I couldn't help but want to say, there are so many people with 'pig' in their names, and there are two of them by my side. .”
"In the first 30 or [-] years, it was called this. Pigs are blessed. Look at the sacrifices, they would put a red-skinned and red-skinned roast pig to please Yi."
……
After coming out of Huainan Palace, Song Xi asked Jia She if he had collected any useful information.
Jia Amnesty nodded.
"What?" Song Xi asked.
"Basically, it can be confirmed that it has nothing to do with King Huainan," Jia She said.
"That's all you got?" Song Xi asked in surprise.
Jia She nodded, "Then there is Pan Meiren, but I'm not sure if it's useful. By the way, how is Wu Zuo? Did you find anything?"
"There is no wound on the surface, and it's not poisoning, so nothing can be found out." After Song Xi said, seeing Jia She frowned in confusion, he told him not to think too much, maybe he really died because of his illness.
Jia Amnesty handed Song Xi a list of 14 people.
"The concubine Yu's symptoms before her death were the same as those of the fourteen people in the past two years. They all had headaches, then went crazy, and then were dying. No matter how much she sought medical treatment, the cause could not be diagnosed. Do you think this is also a coincidence?"
Song Xi glanced at the list above, and said bluntly that there were quite a lot of people who died in this way, and there were many names he had heard of before.
"Among the dead, there were three males and 11 females. Including the concubine Yu this time, the number is 12. There are many males and females. What do you think?" Jia She asked.
Song Xi looked at Jia She and raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand such things, he never cared about the dead.
Seeing that Song Xi couldn't provide him with any favorable advice, Jia Amnesty sighed and leaned against the car window in a daze.
Seeing this, Song Xi felt that for the first time in history, someone thought he was not smart enough.He suddenly grabbed Jia She's hand.
Jia Amnesty looked back at him for no reason, and found that Song Xi was looking at him with pitiful eyes like a child.
Jia She looked at Song Xi in bewilderment, and said in a coaxing tone, "Little friend, tell uncle quickly, what's wrong with you?"
Song Xi originally wanted to say something, but when he heard that Jia She spoke to him in such a joking tone, he suddenly had nothing to say.He glared at him, and simply closed his eyes to rest.
Jia She laughed, "Look at you, you're so nonchalant. I was thinking about the case just now, and I think the murderer must have been walking around in the back house."
Song Xi didn't open his eyes when he heard the words, but his hands were ruthless, holding on to Jia Amnesty's hand and not letting go.
When the carriage arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty's hand was already sore by Song Xi, but Song Xi still refused to let go.
From Song Xi's indifferent expression, Jia Amnesty still saw a trace of anxiety that he was trying to hide, so he hugged him, smiled and said see you tomorrow.
Song Xi's handsome face only slightly loosened, he let go of his hand, his face remained as calm as usual, and nodded with Jia She.
Jia Amnesty nodded to him again, turned around and got off the car quickly.
Just now, Jia Amnesty sighed casually because he was troubled that the case had not progressed, who knows what was going on in Song Xi's mind, and it hurt to squeeze his hand.
But Jia Amnesty knew that Song Xi did this because he hated him, so he didn't mean to blame him.When he lost control of his emotions, Jia Amnesty felt that it was good to see Song Xi's human side.He was so magnificent and refined all day long, it was so boring, and somehow made people feel a sense of distance.
At the moment, Song Xi, who was sitting in the carriage, was annoyed by his gaffe just now.He became more and more unable to control himself, and began to worry about gains and losses.It's time to calm down for a few days and regain your sanity.
……
After Jia Amnesty returned to Rongxi Hall, he waited for the results of the black pig's inquiry.
As night fell, the black pig ran back and reported to Jia Amnesty the results of his inquiries about the people on the list.
"Among the 14 people surveyed this time, all the female family members had no contact with any special people before the onset of the disease, but they suddenly became ill, and no doctor would look after them. Because the men would go out, they met more people. , but it was still the same as usual, and I didn't have too many conflicts with anyone. Although these fourteen people are all in the high school, they don't have much contact with each other, but two or three met each other when they were socializing. , but they are just acquaintances who nod, but they have no close relationship in essence, and some have never even heard each other's names."
Again no leads.
After Jia Amnesty thought about it, he could only find common ground among these people and sum up some other possibilities.
"The three male deceased were all seventeen or eighteen years old. They were all legitimate sons, and they were very favored at home. The female relatives also had a similar situation. They were not very old, and the oldest among them was only 29 years old. They were either the grandma who was in charge of the family. , or wives and concubines who are very favored by the men in the family. And these people were all healthy before, without any old diseases." After Jia She finished speaking, he asked the black pig what they thought.
Zhu Mao was the first to shake his head, unable to figure out why these people were killed.
The black pig thought hard, "Being envied by others?"
Jia She nodded, "I also think this is more likely."
"But it's okay for anyone to be jealous of the east and west. If these women in the back house live under the same roof, you may be framed if you fight for it. It is impossible to have enmity with all the female relatives of these twelve families at the same time. Besides, there are three men." Zhu Mao objected.
The black pig also thought it was reasonable, and asked the master for his opinion.
Naturally, Jia Amnesty couldn't figure it out, thinking about it now would only give him a headache, so he waved his hand and sent them all back.He also asked Hei Zhu to instruct his subordinates to find out more about the fifteen dead people. This time, no matter what the size of the news, they will be collected. Jia Amnesty intends to personally investigate one by one to see if he can find anything else. Useful leads.
As for Pan Meiren in the Huainan Palace, Jia Amnesty would not let her go, and asked someone to investigate together to see if this Pan Meiren had a motive for committing the crime, and whether there were any abnormal people walking around with her before the crime.
Jia Amnesty then let go of this matter, sometimes taking a proper break and starting with a different way of thinking might be more rewarding.Jia Amnesty left the notebook on the desk and passed on the dinner first.
At this time, Jia Lian had to come over to say hello, with a maid carrying a food box behind her.While asking someone to bring out the dishes in the food box, he explained the origin of these dishes to Jia Shen.In accordance with Jia She's past habits, he prepared a simple four dishes and one soup, with a combination of meat and vegetables, light and refreshing, and all the dishes were made with nourishing things such as yam, wolfberry, ginseng, and ganoderma.
Jia Lian said that these dishes were the recipes he asked from the palace by taking the opportunity of doing internal affairs, and specially ordered the cook to prepare them carefully for Jia Amnesty's body.I also want Jia Hui to arrange people to cook different nourishing dishes for Jia Amnesty every day in the future.
Seeing Jia Lian's filial piety, Jia Amnesty would not refuse his kindness, so he took a bite of the dish with chopsticks, and the taste was not bad.As long as it doesn't delay his normal meal, Jia Amnesty will not pick anything, so he nods in agreement, and then asks Jia Lian to sit down and have dinner with him.Jia Lian was so terrified that he sat down happily and had dinner with his father.
After dinner, Jia Cong came to greet Jia Amnesty.When he saw Jia Lian, he was a bit unfamiliar, but he had all the necessary etiquette.
Jia Lian really wanted to slap himself. When he saw Jia Cong before, he secretly warned himself to pay more attention to his concubine brother in the future.But every time I thought about it but didn't do it, it just passed day by day.
Jia Lian coaxed Jia Cong to come over guiltily, and asked him what books he had been reading these two days and what words he had learned.
"Second Brother Lian, I already know how to recite the Three Character Classic backwards, are you serious?" Jia Cong asked proudly.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then sighed quickly: "Amazing, my good third brother is the smartest and amazing."
Jia Lian felt embarrassed about himself, but he couldn't recite the Three Character Classic up to now.He is really not as good as a three or four-year-old doll. It's hard for his father to dislike him so much before, and it's true that he doesn't live up to it.
Jia Lian turned to ask Jia Cong what he wanted, and he could get it for him in the future.
Jia Cong shook his head, saying that he didn't lack anything.
Jia Lian smiled embarrassingly, she actually made fun of herself in front of a three-year-old child.
Jia Amnesty asked Jia Cong about his homework, and when he saw that he performed well, he praised him without hesitation, encouraged the child to be full of interest, and expressed that he would read the book carefully when he returned home.After all, he stopped being playful, took the initiative to resign with Jia She, and ran back to the room by himself.
Jia Lian was really moved. He never expected that his concubine brother, who had been ignored by the whole family, was now so smart and cute.I don't know if my ancestors have ever seen such a sensible and well-behaved Jia Cong. If they did, I'm afraid that the old man would like her so much that she would be reluctant to let go.
After Jia Lian watched Jia Cong disappear from the door, he realized that he hurriedly turned around to salute the elder and wanted to leave.I don't know why, just after seeing Cong's third brother like that, he felt ashamed to stay any longer.
Jia She glanced at Jia Lian, and saw that Jia Lian's face seemed to have an inferiority complex, so he told him: "Everyone has his own ambitions, so don't think about Jia Cong. He has his strengths, and you have your abilities. Be proud, and don’t underestimate yourself. Now that you have become an official of the insider, you should work hard, do it well, and make a fortune in what you are good at.”
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his father to say such touching words of encouragement to him, tears welled up in his eyes.In my heart, I was surprised that my father was so strong that he could see through his emotions at a glance, and at the same time, I was grateful for Jia She's kind words.
Jia Lian sincerely kowtowed to Jia Amnesty, vowing that he would live up to his expectations.
"Don't make any oaths with me. After all, if you are really worthless, I still have a son. Your daughter-in-law is different. She is the one who is sincere and determined to spend the rest of her life with you. Feng girl's mouth is It's a bit powerful, but you still have the ability. It's thanks to her taking care of you these years, otherwise, think about it, what kind of trouble will you make?
She knows that your words don't count, but every time you swear to correct your mistakes, she is willing to believe them. I hope that after every vow, you will really reform and never do it again.No one in the house would say that she is a smart, quick-witted, and slick person with 1 minds.You let people down again and again, will she not understand?Why is it still good with you, still want to believe?It's not because she is stupid or stupid, but because you are her husband, the only husband and family she can count on in her life.So when dealing with you, you must be a hundred times or even ten thousand times more patient than others. "
Jia Lian nodded sullenly.
Jia She sneered, "Have you ever thought about how hard it is for a smart person like her to endure a stupid and lustful man like you?"
Jia Lian looked at Jia She in surprise, "Father! My son is not as useless as you say."
"Oh, remember to eat but not to fight, it's really hard to find another person like you in this world. I just made a promise to me yesterday, and when I turned around and slept, I lost my head. Don't think I don't I know, you made a fool of yourself again this morning and molested a housekeeper's wife in the house. If it weren't for the people who don't have a wife looking at you, I'm afraid you would have gotten out of bed. I hope you can really get out, so I don't have to worry about it in the future The ancestral graves in Jinling have not been swept away."
Jia Amnesty gave Jia Lian a sweet date, and then hit Jia Lian with a stick.Let Jia Lian's happiness turn to sadness, his heart fluctuates, and he feels anxious.He didn't expect that the Elder Master would know all about this little private matter.
After finally saying goodbye to the old man, Jia Lian was thinking about what the old man said before as he walked all the way back.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had indeed lost to Wang Xifeng, but he still couldn't figure it out. If he was lecherous and slept with a few women, what could be a big mistake? Doesn't a man have several concubines in his family, but she is so strict? .
Jia Lian walked slowly. Before he went back, Wang Xifeng had already got the news from the old man.Naturally, Wang Xifeng was extremely grateful to the Elder Master for helping her train Jia Lian again, but Jia Lian's temperament might not change in a short while.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was worried, Mrs. Yin came up with an idea to Wang Xifeng, "I think the second master has a wild mind and always likes to steal. One is that he is lustful by nature and is greedy for this matter; the other is that he is restrained and becomes more talented. I feel that everything outside smells good. You don’t care about looking at it, find ten or eight of them at home, and let those Yingying and Yanyan make trouble with him all day long, and worry about him in front of his eyes. After a long time like this, he will Naturally, you will know the benefits of being quiet, and you will be able to gain a reputation as a 'virtuous'."
"Is this idea reliable?" Wang Xifeng murmured inwardly, worried that Jia Lian would not be able to be pulled back if he were to be released like this.
Mrs. Yin laughed, "Second Grandma Lian still doesn't understand how this old slave can have such a brain, she really came up with this idea."
Wang Xifeng suddenly understood that this was what her father-in-law meant, and she probably mentioned it to Mrs. Yin because she was too embarrassed to tell her directly.Since it was the method that my father-in-law wanted to come up with, Wang Xifeng felt a little uneasy, and decided to give it a try according to what he said.Anyway, Wang Xifeng now inexplicably believes that the elder will not deceive herself, and is wholeheartedly for the good of the couple.
Wang Xifeng pondered over the candidates.
Mrs. Yin smiled: "If Second Grandma really doesn't care about this matter, she is willing to give it a try. Second Grandma doesn't need to worry about the selection of candidates, and you don't need to spend money. You can just arrange some rooms in the yard and wait for people to come later." Yes. But there is a saying that needs to be told to the Second Mistress in advance, these girls are here, Second Mistress don’t hold them back, the girls will make some noise, but they will only make trouble in this small courtyard, and will never go out to the Second Mistress Grandma and Second Master Lian are causing trouble."
Wang Xifeng listened to Mrs. Yin's instructions so meticulously, she expected to be prepared, so she nodded.
Mrs. Yin turned to pass the message on behalf of Jia She, asking her to pay attention to Jia's mother's mood, and then she had nothing to say and retreated.
Not long after, Jia Lian came back with a smile, and she was about to stick to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng pushed him away with a cold face, telling him that she was not in the mood.
"You man, the master just persuaded me to treat you wholeheartedly, and you despise me. How can I work hard?"
"You don't need to work hard. You just can't change your lustful problem. Tomorrow, I'll go outside and find seven or eight beautiful girls for you. Let these Yingyingyanyans accompany you every day and give you Play enough!"
Jia Lian thought Wang Xifeng was joking, so she shook her head and laughed in disbelief, thinking she was joking.
Unexpectedly, there were seven or eight more girls in the yard the next day, and all of them were young and beautiful, and their skin was so tender that water could be squeezed out.The most terrible thing is that these girls each have their own temperament, savage, gentle, aggressive... Jia Lian was dazzled for a moment, and he couldn't help himself.
Every day, when he wakes up in the morning, the first thing he does is to hope that the day will pass quickly, and he will come back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs as soon as possible, so that he can hang out with these little beauties happily.
Wang Xifeng was quite generous during these days, and only said that except for Jia Lian coming to the main room on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the rest of the time was tossing with him.
Jia Lian was a little guilty at first, thinking it was Wang Xifeng's trap.
But Wang Xifeng said: "You are now an official and lord. What I can control you is naturally to please you. It is serious to keep your position as the wife. You only need to think about my goodness in your heart, and I promise you will not Shaking my position, I will bear with your little hobby, and I will obey you. If the old man finds out, I will explain to you, and nothing will happen. From now on, I only hope that you will stop going out to shame people and hook up What kind of daughter-in-law and widow are really arrested and sentenced to adultery, and my official wife is not allowed to do it."
Once Jia Lian heard that Wang Xifeng's explanation made sense, he no longer doubted anything else.She promised well that she would keep Wang Xifeng's position as wife, and turned around and hung out with those women happily every day.
Wang Xifeng looked upset, so she simply went to accompany Jia Mu.It happened that Jia Mu was not in a good mood these two days, Wang Xifeng accompanied and comforted her every day, and she was able to please Jia Mu.
Jia's mother has always been concerned about Baoyu's affairs. When she thought of letting Baoyu go to study outside and seeing him for three days in a month, Jia's mother was reluctant and her heart ached.But then I was afraid that Baoyu would be like Jia She had predicted in the future. After staying in the back house for a long time, he developed a girl's temperament and his share of idiots.If Baoyu gets older and becomes more and more stupid and unreasonable, then she will bear most of the responsibility.After his death, there is absolutely no way to explain to the ancestors of Rongfu.
"I only heard that Lushan Academy is really a good place to study. If I have a child in the future, I will definitely send him there so that he can study and improve." Wang Xifeng sighed with a smile.
"You are becoming more and more a good daughter-in-law of your grandpa, and I will only listen to half of what you say in the future." Jiamu cast a reproachful look at Wang Xifeng, shook her head and said half-jokingly.
Wang Xifeng also laughed, and turned to discuss with Jia's mother, asking her if she really wanted Baoyu and Daiyu to get married.
"I have an old sister. The eldest son got engaged to someone early. Who knew that the girl went there before she lived to be eight years old. Later, she got engaged to another one and died again. In the end, she ended up with a life-threatening wife. , I want to find a better-matched girl, and everyone hates it. Therefore, the marriage between the children should be settled after they are older." Jia's mother's meaning is obvious, no matter who she is, she is now Baoyu's marriage will not be considered.
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng felt relieved, and said as if chatting: "I think Uncle Lin specially invited her nuns from the palace to teach her. I heard that these nuns teach the rules very strictly. Last time I saw The nuns brought by Sister Lin thought it was amazing. Later I heard that those nuns still pay attention to the fact that men and women have different seats at the age of eight, and they don't even look down on our brother Bao and the maids and sisters who don't distinguish between you and me. "
"Who said that, those mothers? Don't you think that our Rong Mansion has no rules?" Mother Jia asked in amazement.
"I didn't tell me personally, but someone overheard these wives whispering behind their backs. If you ask me, it's a bit poisonous, but there are reasons for it. It's really hard to tell them now. Brother and sister meet too much. I didn't pay attention to this matter without the Eldest Master, but Brother Bao has a different kind of infatuation towards Sister Lin. The other sisters are like this! If brother Bao really gets more and more crazy, and finally makes a fuss, with his nature, he will do something very reasonable if he doesn't keep it safe."
Mother Jia frowned.
"If you want me to say, when you are old enough, you see that they are really suitable, and it is not too late for you to talk about this relationship. You are Lin Yatou's grandmother, so it is easy to mention this, and it doesn't matter. Right now The most important thing is to get rid of the idiot in Baoyu's heart as soon as possible, and correct his problem of being confused in the inner room, and let him learn to walk on the right path." Xiang Wang Xifeng suggested.
Mother Jia thought about it for the same reason, so she nodded, and then she was puzzled again, and her whole body suddenly trembled.
"No! The women of the Lin family criticize us like this behind our backs. I think it's probably because of their master's instructions. If this is true, it means that your Uncle Lin has a problem with the rules of our Rongfu!" Mother Jia The more I thought about it, the more I became frustrated, "How could he speculate on us so maliciously? I have never thought of Baoyu and Miss Lin. Just like what you said just now, if I really want to get married with them, then It’s just a matter of saying a word, why should I bother to 'play tricks' to get them close first. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let your sister Lin go back with your uncle!"
Wang Xifeng was confused by Jia's mother.Since the old ancestor clarified his innocence, he said that he never speculated about Baoyu and Daiyu.Then he should follow Uncle Lin to take Daiyu away, and then why regret not keeping Daiyu?
"Old Ancestor, please remind me that I am stupid, I am really confused." Wang Xifeng couldn't figure it out.
"It's just that I can't bear the grievance. My old lady helped him raise his daughter with good intentions, but she was full of complaints." Jia Mu said angrily, "How can such a father with vicious and deep thoughts teach a good daughter? How can I If you can let him continue to raise Daiyu, that girl is Min'er's only kind, and others don't love her, but I do!"
Mother Jia blushed so anxiously that she immediately called for someone to go to Lin's mansion to pass a message, and then asked someone to prepare a car. She was going to Lin's mansion right away to reason with Lin Ruhai.
Only then did Wang Xifeng come to her senses, and she opened her eyes wide: "It's just those women talking about Hu Qin, whoever said it must be Uncle Lin's intentions. Just blame me for saying something that shouldn't be said. I should hit you. If you are angry, you will Just slap me twice."
"What are you fighting for! I still want to thank you. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Uncle Lin had such a big opinion on our Rongfu. What kind of nonsense are those women? This kind of thinking is not instilled by the master. Don’t think that my old lady is confused, I still understand this point. He Lin Ruhai just looks down on our Rongfu, guards against us, and taboos Baoyu. As I said last time, I called someone Go and invite Daiyu here, asking her to stay for a few more days is not in the way, but those women stopped her and took her back the same day. So it was all under his command!"
Mother Jia was so angry that after changing clothes, she took people out.
Wang Xifeng had never seen Jia's mother so powerful before, so she hurriedly sent someone to inform Jia Amnesty, and she also hurriedly followed.While supporting Jia Mu, he comforted Jia Mu not to be impulsive.
But Jia Mu was getting angry, her face was red, and she forced Wang Xifeng to shut up.Otherwise, if she is talking, send her back immediately without her company.
Wang Xifeng had no choice but to follow Jia Mu's wishes, not to say any opinions, but to follow honestly.
After Jia She received the news, he immediately sent someone to notify Lin Ruhai.Just as Jia Mu was sitting in the Lin family hall, Jia Amnesty and Lin Ruhai came at the same time.
