As soon as Jia Amnesty opened his mouth, the room fell silent for a moment.

Jia Zheng coughed lightly, looked at Mrs. Wang and asked, "What's the matter? Is my aunt sick?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Brother Pan has some troubles, how can a mother not worry about it, I'm afraid I fell ill because of my overthinking."

But Jia Mu immediately felt something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter, Brother Pan?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng and motioned her to come forward and answer.But Wang Xifeng just stood aside with drooping eyelids, not making a sound.Mrs. Wang was not sure whether she did it on purpose or if she didn't notice her wink, and she was afraid that Mother Jia would be impatient, so she had to bite the bullet and replied, "It is said that brother Pan ran into a nobleman a few days ago and was killed by soldiers from five cities. Si Yamen was taken away, and now he is in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he cannot be released easily."

"Why did such a big thing happen, but no one in the entire family has heard of it!"

Before Jiamu could speak, Jia Zheng stood up and scolded!After all, he kept pacing, and his forehead was covered with sweat in a short while!

Mrs. Wang covered her face and said, "I'm a woman, how can I know so many things. It's only today that I found out. The master must save brother Pan! My sister only has one son in half her life. If there is something wrong with him , I'm afraid my sister will not be able to live!" After saying that, she was already choked up.

Jia Zheng frowned and gasped for breath: "Since you said it was the nobleman who collided, do you know who it was?" Seeing Mrs. Wang shaking her head repeatedly, Jia Zheng widened his eyes, "You...you don't know anything, so Ask me to save people! How can I have such a big face! I can't even figure out the way, so who should I ask?"

Mrs. Wang just covered her face and wept, and Mother Jia also sighed repeatedly: "I knew it would be inconvenient for your sister's family to go to Beijing to live in our house. I just thought that she is an orphan and widow. I am afraid that you will complain about me. Now I have fulfilled what I said at the beginning. That Xue Panyuan is a troubled person. He fights cocks and dogs all day long. Even if he can be rescued now, he will not be able to keep what he wants in the future. I lost my life!"

Mother Jia's words are very serious.She didn't think much of Xue's family of merchants, but Mrs. Wang seemed to be sincerely trying to fight against her, and she desperately wanted to lift Xue's family up.

Don't say that she is old now, but she hasn't reached the point of being deaf and dazzled yet!Fortunately, Wang Xifeng is in charge of Zhongfu in the mansion now, and there are thunderous means.Although he is still close to Mrs. Wang, but now he is gradually showing signs of wanting to monopolize him.Mother Jia didn't dislike Wang Xifeng, but she really didn't like Mrs. Wang very much!

A few days ago, she often heard a few gossips from the little maid sweeping in her yard in twos and threes, every sentence was praising how dignified and generous Miss Bao of the Xue family was, and how kind and peaceful she was!Mother Jia sneered, she praised a girl from a relative's family like this, but forced all the decent girls in her own family back to the ground!No wonder she sent someone to pick up Lin Daiyu and Nianchun recently, but both of them declined. I think this is the crux of the problem!

Thinking of this, Mother Jia gave Mrs. Wang a hard look, then turned to Wang Xifeng and said, "Daughter-in-law Zhu, now that you are in charge of the whole house, you need to spend more on food and clothing. You don't have to be frugal about what you should use." After all, what comes from outside is different from what is at home. You must know that one family does not care about the affairs of two families, do you understand?"

Wang Xifeng bowed his head and replied: "Old lady, grandson and daughter-in-law understand."

Jia's mother said to Jia Zheng again: "After all, you are still your wife, sister, and relative. If you don't help each other, I'm afraid everyone's hearts will be chilled. You should move around anyway. If you can help each other, you should do your best!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly responded.Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and slightly loosened her hand holding the handkerchief.

Seeing that Mother Jia was still talking to herself lazily, Mrs. Wang wanted to please her, she rolled her eyes, and with a smile on her always rigid face, she said, "The old lady doesn't know, Zhuer carried the plum bag a few days ago. Auntie, she is more than five months pregnant now. Looking at her, she looks like she is pregnant with a big fat boy. No way, after the spring of the new year, you will be a great-grandmother!"

Mother Jia asked puzzledly, "What Aunt Li?" Then she looked at Wang Xifeng and asked, "I remember, didn't you carry your dowry maid earlier? It seems... It's called Ping'er, why do you say it's Aunt Li?"

Before Wang Xifeng could speak, Mrs. Wang had already smiled and said: "Aunt Li was just adopted last month. Her family background is clean and her appearance is upright. From my point of view, she can be regarded as a noble concubine."

Jia Mu sneered and said, "A noble concubine? What noble concubine! Since ancient times, if you want to marry into a noble concubine, you must first have a clean family style, and second, you must prepare your own dowry! I have never heard of this Aunt Li. Why is there a noble concubine?" explain?"

After finishing speaking, he took Wang Xifeng's hand again, looked at Mrs. Wang coldly and said: "I only recognize Feng girl as my eldest grandson-in-law, and the other aunts and concubines are fine too, but they are all A cat or a dog, neither can be on the stage. If it wasn't for Feng girl crying and begging to come to me, and let me personally decide to give her that girl a disgrace, would you think that Ping'er can be an aunt now?"

Seeing Mrs. Wang's embarrassing expression, Jia's mother spat sharply: "Bah! Don't think I don't know what your plan is, but I can't see that their young couples are loving and harmonious! You are rigid and boring, and you come to harm your own daughter-in-law. Son, what a shameless one."

Jia's mother said, pointing to Jia Zheng again: "You too, don't look at your own daughter-in-law, you put your hands in your son's daughter-in-law's room, and she should take care of your son's concubines and aunts." What? If she really cared about her son, she shouldn't have done this. Zhuer's body is like that now, she is good, she only wants to have an heir, but she has completely left her son behind! Such a daughter-in-law, If you dare to ask for it, I dare not ask for it!"

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed red, because Jia She and his wife were still in the house, she didn't dare to say anything, but she was so ashamed and angry that she quickly turned her back to cover her face without saying a word.

Mother Jia vented happily, feeling comfortable all over. Seeing Wang Xifeng showing a wry smile, she had no liking for that vulgar Aunt Li who flattered men.He frowned and asked, "What Aunt Li, I've never heard you mention it."

"The old lady forgot. In October, the uncle went to Dongfu to have a drink with big brother Zhen. When he came back, big brother Zhen gave him one...it was that Suhe. There was only one old mother in her family, and she said her surname was Li. Elder brother Zhen proved her innocence, and the uncle loves her appearance, so I, I naturally acted according to the wishes of the uncle."

When Jia Amnesty heard Wang Xifeng's words from the side, he couldn't help clapping for her.

It is said that his nephew and daughter-in-law are the most upright and strong heroines in the middle school, and all the stewards and mothers-in-law respect her.If it goes against her will, it's easy to hit a board, and you can often kill and make decisions with a joke.He also thought that Jia Zhu was able to take concubines one after another under her hands, maybe she was also courageous.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's sluggish look today, Jia Amnesty only thought that she was suppressed by Jia Zhu and Mrs. Wang, and she was not allowed to turn over.Who would have thought that the son would retreat to make progress, and the selling was really miserable!

Sure enough, Mother Jia listened to her distress, she put her arms around Wang Xifeng and patted gently, "Why are you so useless? You are so capable on weekdays, how come you are in your own room, but you can't control these little hooves!"

After speaking, she asked Hu Po to order someone to bring that Li Suhe over.

Not long after, Li Suhe walked into the house with the help of the maid with her big belly.First bowed down to meet Jia Mu, and was about to greet Mrs. Wang and others, but Jia Mu had already yelled angrily: "What kind of rules are these, who taught you!"

It turned out that because Li Suhe was pregnant with a child, Mrs. Wang kept telling her to take care of herself, and she hadn't told her to behave in front of Wang Xifeng for two or three months, and she didn't have to go everywhere to pay her respects.Li Suhe has been spoiled by these days, she has long put aside the rules of asking for peace, and she just blindly makes things difficult for Wang Xifeng because she is pregnant with Jia Zhu's child.Seeing that Wang Xifeng had nothing to do with her, he felt even more proud.

Now that his son was being scolded by Jia Mu in public, Li Suhe was startled, and his face turned pale all of a sudden.

He quickly knelt down with his stomach in his hands, and politely greeted Jia Mu and others one by one.When she was helped up again by the servant girl, her back was already wet.

"Let me ask you, where is your ancestral home?"

"Back, back to the old lady, my concubine's ancestral home is Shaoxing."

"Since you are from Shaoxing, how can you be in the capital? What is your relationship with Master Zhen from the East Mansion?"

Li Suhe pursed his lips, and replied softly: "Because of the downfall of my family and the death of my parents, I had no choice but to go to Beijing to join my aunt. My aunt was originally a woman in charge under Master Zhen. When the master saw it, he gave his concubine status to the uncle." As he spoke, a blush slowly appeared on his fair face.

Seeing her coquettish and timid look, and her watery eyes full of affection, Jia Mu couldn't help sneering and said, "You will go to defect! Is your aunt Li Po who is in charge of the garden in the East Mansion?"

Li Suhe was silent for a moment, as if she never expected that Mother Jia would know Mrs. Li, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she suppressed it quickly, bowed her head and replied, "Exactly!"

"That's very interesting. It just so happens that I know a thing or two, so I just told you, daughter-in-law Zhu, that you should listen to it and give you a lot of insight!"

Mother Jia said coldly: "Grandma Li is in her fifties this year. When she was young, she married two husbands, both of whom died of illness. Now she lives with Liu Da, who is guarding the night at the back door. Because she is an old man in the East Mansion. Well, your elder brother Zhen saw that she was old and pity the poor and the weak, so he gave her the job of looking after the garden. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li was a drinker and gambler. It was all lost. Then Liu Dao gave her an idea, and within a few years, she was already pocketed tens of thousands of silver taels."

Li Suhe's face turned pale, and his subordinates tightly grabbed the maid's arm, but did not dare to make a sound.

Wang Xifeng had inquired about this a long time ago, so it can be seen that Mother Jia was willing to tear Li Suhe's face off herself, so she didn't interrupt, she just wondered: "What's the idea? Why don't you show filial piety to Big Brother Zhen and the others for such a good thing, so that it can be added An entry."

Jia Mu snorted coldly: "It's just doing some skin | meat | raw | business!"

"Yangzhou is a place where a generation of salt merchants gather, and it is the most gentle place to sell gold! Many of the flower girls in brothels and Chu houses can no longer satisfy them, so they come up with another idea, privately educate some young girls, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting Unreasonable, delicate and cowardly, arousing pity. Because these women who were picked out to be trained|trained by others were slender, the Jiangnan generation called them "skinny horses". In recent years, this trend in Kyoto has become more and more serious, and there are many unscrupulous people. The mother-in-law secretly bought a delicate-looking girl from the kidnapper, raised her from a young age, and when she grows up, she can either give it away or accompany her guests, whatever she wants."

"I'm afraid, you are one of them!"
