The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

It is definitely not a whim to say something like this, and the emperor must have a charter, and it will definitely not make it difficult for the Deng family, and there will be definite news in the next few days. Jia Zhu, who originally wanted to ask for advice, couldn't help comforting her when she saw the big aunt's expression.

Jia Zhu, who is now serving the emperor, said these words, which lifted Jia Zi's spirit and said with emotion: "I hope so."

Just as Jia Zhu expected, this matter did not whet everyone's appetites for a long time before the dust settled. The Empress Dowager ordered Deng Lianting, the daughter of Deng's patriarch, to marry the fifteenth prince Xiao Yuan, and also gave the old lady of the Deng family a first-rank order. Fang and his wife also won the title and imperial order.

"I heard that there is only such a concubine's daughter in Deng's parents' house, and she is an old daughter. I don't know if she is too spoiled!" Xiao Yuan complained to Jia Zhu after winning the letter.

Jia Zhu shook his head and smiled wryly when he heard this, the previous son had just advised him not to inquire about the girl from the Deng family, if he guessed wrong in the end what the queen mother meant, it would be a disaster, unexpectedly Xiao Yuan still inquired, and he inquired so clearly .

"Don't worry, my eldest aunt's family is the most rigorous in managing the family. Even if she loves her daughter, she will never spoil her." Jia Zhu said this with confidence.

Xiao Yuan nodded, then hesitated for a moment, and said with a hey smile: "Not only you said that, but others also said that, there is only one thing, I don't know if this girl, um... is her appearance correct?"

"What's the matter with this one or two? Before leaving, Qi Hao entrusted me for this matter. I didn't expect that His Majesty the Fifteenth Highness would not be immune." Having said that, Jia Zhu's eyes were full of smiles.

Xiao Yuan glanced at Jia Zhu, and enviously said: "You think that everyone is as lucky as you, and the appearance of Dingbei County Princess is good, you can stand and talk without backache now, if I give you a patrol Yasha, let's see if you can avoid the vulgarity?"

"Well, I can't say no to you, but no matter how anxious you are, I can't help it. Although we are cousins, whether men and women can get along or not." It's not that Jia Zhu doesn't want to help, it's just that it's a bit tricky.

Xiao Yuan was also silent, thinking about it, but Jia Zhu thought about what Xiao Yuan said just now, more than one person mentioned his marriage and talked about the beauty of Na Ren Tuoya, listening to the envious tone of others, Jia Zhu But Zhu didn’t think much of it, maybe she didn’t like her temperament, she always thought it was a bit too ostentatious, and besides, it’s not like I haven’t seen someone who is prettier than her... Unexpectedly, it has been forgotten A long time dream flashed before my eyes, and that expression appeared on the extremely beautiful face in the dream, which added more than one part of the enchantment, and that's why... Bah, bah, bah, what did you think of!

Jia Zhu snapped back to her senses, spurned herself for a while, shook her head and tried to get the picture out of her mind, but at this moment Xiao Yuan suddenly shouted: "Yes!"

"What?" Jia Zhu asked hurriedly.

"Next time you go to see Mrs. Deng's family with Zi Yan beside me, and find a way for her to meet that girl from the Deng's family." Xiao Yuan's eyes sparkled.

Zi Yan is the most important court lady around Xiao Yuan, but... Jia Zhu frowned unknowingly: "Isn't it right to let Zi Yan go?"

It would be inappropriate for Jia Zhu to ask a woman who has an affair with him to see his future wife. No need to say more, as long as Zi Yan speaks a little bit more insidiously, it will make Xiao Yuan feel that he has never met her. His wife was dissatisfied, and they married with prejudice... For the sake of his relationship with his eldest aunt, Jia Zhu didn't want to make his aunt's daughter unhappy.

Can be in the palace for so many years, sit next to Xiao Yuan as the first maid in the palace, and be tacitly allowed to serve Xiao Yuan, can such a woman be simple?

"Zi Yan is the most steady and kind, I don't worry if she goes." As if seeing Jia Zhu's worry, Xiao Yuan laughed.

Now that Xiao Yuan persisted, Jia Zhu couldn't persuade him any more, so he nodded and agreed. When he took Zi Yan to see Mrs. Deng, Mrs. Deng thought Zi Yan was Jia Zhu's maid at first and didn't care much. Jia Zhu coughed After telling Mrs. Deng about Ziyan's identity, Mrs. Deng also showed a slight surprise, and then restored a dignified smile.

Ziyan also invited Mrs. Deng to greet her, and Mrs. Deng smiled and said: "We are a small family, and we are really at a loss for the grace of the Queen Mother. The royal rules are the strictest. I am in trouble." , Coincidentally Miss Ziyan is here today, it would be great if I could give you some pointers."

Ziyan hurriedly said that she didn't dare, but Mrs. Deng had already called two old mothers: "Take good care of Miss Ziyan, call the girl here and let Miss Ziyan give advice."

The two old nuns took orders, and Zi Yan's original purpose was to look after Xiao Yuan's future wife, so at this time, he took advantage of the opportunity to go out with the two old nuns, and those two old nuns were needed by Jiazi's side , all of them are human beings, Jiazi and the others can guess the mind of the mistress with just one look, and they are also looking at Ziyan calmly.

Ziyan didn't mention why for the time being, but said that facing Jia Zhu at this time, Mrs. Deng frowned unconsciously: "Your Highness's move is really inappropriate, Zhu Er, you don't know how to persuade him, but you still follow him around. Those censors are the most sharp-eyed, if this gets out, which one will please them?"

"Don't worry, aunt, I wouldn't dare if it was someone else, but the aunt's family can't reveal even the slightest word of mouth now." Jia Zhu said with a smile, seeing that Mrs. Deng was worried that it was wrong for Xiao Yuan to send someone to look after her. If you know that Zi Yan still has that identity...

But it had to be said, Jia Zhu sighed, and said it in detail, and as expected, Mrs. Deng sat up straight after hearing this, and her eyes shone brightly.

Seeing Mrs. Deng's expression, Jia Zhu couldn't feel a chill in her heart. It didn't take long for Mrs. Deng to return to her original appearance, and said with a smile: "It's no wonder Zhu'er has intentions, I understand."

The more Mrs. Deng laughed, the more fluffy Jia Zhu felt. Fortunately, Mrs. Deng was not obsessed with this topic. Instead, she mentioned Du Yu and sighed about the third sister. In the boudoir, the third younger sister and the fourth younger sister are the most fond of reciting poems and composing lyrics. At that time, they even produced a collection of poems. Now the third younger sister's book must be gone. You can bring this book back to Yu Yu That kid."

Last time Mrs. Deng was worried and didn't have the time to talk about other things. Now that her daughter's marriage has been given by the Queen Mother, although the matter of Ziyan made Mrs. Deng feel a little unhappy, it was not a big deal after all. I am interested in having a long talk with Jia Zhu, but Jia Zhu is a little absent-minded at this moment.

On the way back, when Jia Zhu thought of Mrs. Deng's sharp expression, she glanced at Zi Yan worriedly, and Zi Yan said at this time: "Miss Du is beautiful, intelligent, polite in advance and retreat, and Your Highness is a match made in heaven. Don't worry, Master Jia."

Jia Zhu was taken aback for a moment, she must have caught a glimpse of her expression before saying this, but Xiu could be mistaken, but judging by her thoughtfulness, she is a smart girl, but she is too smart...

While speaking, he walked to Xiao Yuan's residence, but he saw Xiao Yuan in the room with a look of resentment on his face. Seeing Jia Zhu came back, he hurriedly pulled Jia Zhu in, and signaled Zi Yan to step back with his eyes, and then he spoke to Jia Zhu : "Today, my father, Emperor Xuan Wang, came to see him, and then gave me a lot of things."

Wang Zhan is the old man of the Wang family, the father of Wang Ziteng, who has retired as the former secretary of the Honglu Temple.

"I hate him for acting like that. He really doesn't even want his own dignity." Xiao Yuan continued, showing disdain on his face, "I heard that he was fine when he went in, but he was supported by two father-in-laws when he came out. The eyes are red and swollen, and the emperor's face is also a little sad, it seems that this Wang family really can't stop for a moment!"

Jia Zhu frowned when she heard this, and put aside the rights and wrongs of the Wang family and the Jia family these years, and said that uncle Wang Ziteng's behavior in Beijing was really inappropriate, and now he has lost his position and looked at his uncle. He seems to have repentance, but if he is used again at this time, he doesn't know whether he can really remember the lesson this time, or he will become arrogant again and make mistakes again and again.

If it was the former, then it would not be in vain for my grandfather to show off his face. If it was the latter, my grandfather did not save the Wang family this time, but led the Wang family to a dead end!

No matter how much the emperor misses the old love, this affection can't help being worn away again and again, and when it's exhausted, all the past will become the root cause of thunder's wrath.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhu also hurriedly ordered to go down to prepare things. He planned to go to the palace to pay a visit before leaving Jinling, but now he had to move forward. The blood is there, so I have to say it, I hope my grandfather can listen to it.

It was the first time for Jia Zhu to come to the old residence of the Wang family in Jinling. As soon as Jia Zhu arrived, his second uncle Wang Zisheng came out to welcome him, with a slow smile on his face. How is the old lady?"

"Grandmother is very strong, and she often talks about coming back here when she has the opportunity. Although she has lived in Beijing for many years, she still misses Jiangnan." Jia Zhu also replied with a smile.

"It's the same for old people. When my father came back here, he often felt that Jiangnan is better." Wang Zisheng said after listening.

While talking with Wang Zisheng, Jia Zhu changed her mind. Compared with her eldest uncle Wang Ziteng, this second uncle is not very well-known, but now watching his words and deeds, he seems to be much smarter than the eldest uncle. At least if there were no things like the Wang family involved, just looking at the relationship between nephew and uncle, it would look really amiable.

It's just that I don't know whether this second uncle is born like this, or just pretending to be like this.

Not long after I saw Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu came forward to salute. Mrs. Wang hurriedly got him up and sighed: "Pearl has a great future now. Back then your father used to complain to me that you would grow up to be a dude. It's gratifying to watch."

Jia Zhu hurriedly said: "When I was young, I was so ignorant and tired that my father was worried, and Zhu'er was ashamed."

Old Mrs. Wang laughed: "He has that temper. When your grandmother was still there, your mother was always sad because of your affairs and couldn't blush with your father. She often told your grandmother what was on her mind."

It was the first time for Jia Zhu to hear about this. Looking at the kind smile of Grandpa Wang, Jia Zhu couldn't tell whether her grandfather was really missing the past, or was beating him. Don't forget that the Wang family is her mother's family, so she just answered in a well-behaved manner: "Then When I was young, I even forgot what my grandmother looked like, which is really unfilial."

"No way, if your grandmother sees that you are so sensible now, and you have to be married by the emperor as a princess, she will be happy for you." Old Mrs. Wang laughed.

At this time, Wang Zisheng, who had just left, came back here, and said to Mrs. Wang, "Father, Mr. Xue is here and is waiting outside. Look..."

"They're all relatives of my own family." After saying that, Mrs. Wang said to Jia Zhu: "It so happens that your uncle is also here, and our family just happened to get together."

Jia Zhu nodded with a smile, but said in her heart, what a "coincidence", but I don't know what kind of medicine my grandfather sells in the gourd.

No.60 three times

There is a limit to advance and retreat.

"Grandpa, please be well." With a childish greeting, Jia Zhu's eyes fell on the child who was following Uncle Xue. The child looked 6 or 7 years old and looked very smart.

It seems that this is his cousin Xue Pan. Jia Zhu saw Uncle Xue while thinking about it. Master Xue hurriedly helped Jia Zhu up, and said with emotion: "You were only that big when I saw you last time, and you are so old now. grown up!"

Jia Zhu laughed and said, "Uncle's appearance hasn't changed at all, it's the same as before."

Master Xue laughed: "Where is it, I am old, I am old."

Old Mrs. Wang stared: "If you are considered old at your age, my old bones will be put in the coffin more and more!"

Just as Jia Zhu was about to say something, she saw the child's eyes also looking at her, and said curiously: "Father, this big brother calls you uncle, isn't he Qiu'er's cousin?"

Qiu'er?Jia Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help looking at Master Xue, who then said, "Look, I'm confused when I see Zhu'er, this is my second son, Xue Qiu, Qiu'er still hasn't visited my cousin."

Xue Qiu?Jia Zhu was even more stunned. In her previous life, she had never heard that Uncle Xue had a second son. Where did this Xue Qiu come from?Furthermore, where is Xue Pan now?

"That kid Pan'er was too disrespectful yesterday. I punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall." Seemingly seeing Jia Zhu's confusion, Master Xue's words seemed to be complaining to Mrs. Wang, but in fact Jia Zhu felt There is an answer.

"It is said that a loving mother loses her children, and Pan'er should be punished. If she makes trouble again this time, you can say it was my fault." Old Mrs. Wang frowned.

"Grandfather, elder brother knows that he is wrong, please don't be angry with elder brother and mother, okay?" At this time, Xue Qiu grabbed the old man Wang and said, raising his small face and waiting for his big bright eyes.

"Qiu Er, good boy, your elder brother should be punished for doing something wrong." Old Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

Xue Qiu's small face was tangled for a moment, and he said in embarrassment: "Then can you not let the elder brother kneel in the ancestral hall? Last time the elder brother knelt in the ancestral hall and fell ill the next day, and it took a long time to get out of bed, but Qiu'er was frightened, or, Why don't you let father hit big brother's hand!"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a relieved smile: "I know you love your elder brother, and it's also for his own good, so that he can have a long memory."

Jia Zhu knew that cousin Xue Pan in the previous life was enough to cause headaches. Now, after hearing what Mrs. Wang and Xue Qiu had said, and seeing the sympathetic expression on Uncle Xue's face next to her, she couldn't help but feel even more puzzled.

At this time, Old Master Wang called Wang Zisheng and asked him to take Xue Qiu to the back to eat fruit, and then Old Master Wang glanced at Jia Zhu first, and then said to Master Xue: "By the grace of the emperor, after knowing that your family is Ziwei Sheren , and now business is booming in the Jinling area, so I ordered your Royal Merchant to buy some miscellaneous materials with child coins."

Mr. Xue was stunned for a moment, then with an expression of ecstasy, he made a deep bow to Mrs. Wang: "It all depends on the support of my father-in-law, and my son-in-law has nothing to repay."

"Okay, isn't this a heretic? Hey, the emperor is sympathetic to the old minister. It's a pity that the evil of our family has allowed him to be independent in the capital for a few years. He has caused so many troubles. If it wasn't for Zhu'er, look at Jia's family. Helping us deal with the relationship between our two families for many years, there is no telling what will happen now!" Old Mrs. Wang said with a sad expression on his face, which did not seem to be fake.

"The big cousin's matter was instigated by a villain, and I just tried my best to deal with it, and in the end I was sentenced to exile. Zhuer is really ashamed when my grandfather said that."

As Jia Zhu said, half of his heart had been let go at this time. It would be best for grandfather to understand that the eldest uncle's temperament is not suitable for him to recover now. However, grandfather had actually begged for the Xue family's grace in front of the emperor this time. After the family returned to Jinling, Aunt Xue and Uncle Xue had been getting close to this place for a long time. Otherwise, no matter how you say a son-in-law is like a son-in-law, there is no reason to leave the second uncle behind to support Uncle Xue.

Or... the grandfather didn't let the second uncle become an official, so the reigning royal family left a way out?

"I don't know father-in-law, this purchase of miscellaneous materials..." After Master Xue was overjoyed at this time, he couldn't help but think in his heart. It is naturally good to be an imperial merchant, but those imperial merchants have accumulated their own backgrounds in Beijing, Xue My family is in decline in Jinling now, not to mention how many years away from the capital, how can I still enjoy it?

At that time, if there is an imperial merchant's name in the sky, what should I do?

Mrs. Wang did not talk to Mr. Xue, but smiled at Jia Zhu: "I heard that your uncle has now been promoted to the title of third-class uncle, and he is working as an errand in Guanglu Temple. It is really happy."

Xue's family ordered the imperial merchant to buy groceries, and his uncle, who was working as a temple minister at Guanglu Temple, contacted the two. Jia Zhu immediately understood what his grandfather meant. When their eyes met, Jia Zhu smiled and said, "That's true, it's all the grace of the emperor."

The Xue family wants to entrust Jia Amnesty's network to squeeze into Guanglu Temple's purchases. This matter can be helped. After all, the Xue family is a serious imperial envoy handpicked by the emperor. The relationship between the Jia family and the Xue family lies here. It would be weird not to help.

At this time, she fully understood the intention of her grandfather, and Jia Zhu's heart was completely relieved. It was better for her grandfather to make the Wang family take a step back and let the Xue family support her, than to blindly support the uncle and cousin Wang Ren who might even make a mess. too much.Grandfather really deserves to be an old minister who has been in the officialdom for many years and finally became an official, but still makes the emperor miss his affection.

There are some words that need not be said too clearly at this time, Jia Zhu just continued with a smile at this time: "Uncle also often said that Guanglu Temple seems to be full of idlers, but in fact there are many trivial things. The errands have grown up and played tricks for many years, which really makes them have a headache. Since my uncle now has an errand for the imperial business, he will always have to go to Beijing in the future. Maybe he can talk to his uncle at that time, so that his eyes will not be dark no?"

Master Xue's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile: "That's natural."

Old Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, and his eyes were full of smiles. After a while, Jia Zhu left on the pretext that he still had an errand. Mrs. Wang stayed once and saw Jia Zhu's firm attitude, so he didn't stay any longer. After Jia Zhu left, Mr. Xue smiled at Mrs. Wang: "At first I heard my uncle said that Zhu'er was born with a cold personality and eyes above the top, but it's not the case when I saw him today."

Old Mrs. Wang sighed: "Don't mention that evil person, hey, if it wasn't for my old colleagues in Beijing who could tell me, I would have misunderstood whether Zhu Er was a child. At the beginning, Ren Er was a good child, but I didn't expect that she has become a child now. Damn, it's a pity that Ren'er was not brought back to Jinling for his future, now there is no future left."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang said again: "The lessons learned from the past, you have to teach Pan'er and Qiu'er well. Pan'er's child was also spoiled by his mother, but Qiu'er is a good child. Pan'er's mother can understand now." ?”

Master Xue's face froze, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "Pan'er's mother still thinks that way. After all, it's not a child born in her womb. It looks cute now, but in the future, once he gets a chance, he will turn his face and be ruthless, and blame me. Preferring to the concubine and neglecting the concubine, hey!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang dropped the teacup heavily on the coffee table with a "snap": "It's all evil, her brother is like this, and she is like this, it really shames our Wang family! Qiu'er is only so old, she knows how to cherish her!" His brother and mother, she still said such things, if Qiu'er hears this, it will be the separation of mother and child!"

"Father-in-law calmed down, it was all my fault, if it wasn't for the fact that Pan'er and Pan'er's mother was left out in the cold and Jiaohong was promoted because of the matter of catching Zhou, it wouldn't be the case that Pan'er's mother and I are angry and look down on Qiu. Son." Master Xue took all the responsibilities on himself.

Seeing his son-in-law like this, Old Master Wang was very relieved: "Well, you go back, let Pan'er's mother bring Bao girl to come home tomorrow, and I will ask Zisheng's wife to enlighten her."

Mr. Xue thanked him and left. Mrs. Wang turned around and asked Wang Zisheng to tell him about Aunt Xue’s coming tomorrow. What kind of effort is this, left and right Xue Qiu's birth mother died in an avalanche when she gave birth to a child, and she had multiple sons under her knees, then Xue Pan seemed to have a stubborn nature, no matter how much he taught him, he couldn't take good care of this god-given concubine In the future, there will be no one to rely on!

It's just that she couldn't say that in front of Wang Zisheng, she could only say virtuously: "They are all the flesh and blood of the Xue family, why bother my aunt!"

Wang Zisheng nodded: "My sister, please persuade her more."

The Wang family did not mention it at this time, but said that Jia Zhu had doubts about Xue Qiu in his stomach. After returning to Deng's house where the emperor stayed, it happened that Liu Fang greeted him at the door and said that Deng Bin had been waiting for Jia Zhu in the hall for half an hour.

Deng Bin has also grown a lot now, and Jia Zhu heard that he is also married to a wife, but seeing you now, the smile on Deng Bin's face is still the same as before, thinking that the fourth cousin is also a concubine, In the previous life, my younger brother Jia Huan was also a concubine, the difference is not at 01:30!

"Now that the elder brother and the second brother are working outside, and the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are also on the job, I can't be free, and even my daughter-in-law is working hard!" This sentence may mean showing off to others, but Deng Bin really felt restrained, and the boss was not happy.

Jia Zhu knows that her fourth cousin likes to be at ease most in her life, and now her eldest aunt asks them to help the housekeeper, so it's no wonder that the fourth cousin's boss is not happy.

"I haven't been to Jinling for so many years. I really feel that things are right and wrong, no, things are wrong!" Thinking of the great changes in Jinling City, Jia Zhu said with emotion: "I don't know if my fourth cousin has heard of it." Our family is still short of money, and now I see that your family is spending money like running water this time, but you must be careful."

Deng Bin patted Jia Zhu's shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry if you know, there is no one next to our house, and we still have this family background, so don't worry."

Jia Zhu nodded, and then asked about the Xue family: "I didn't know that there was another cousin named Xue Qiu. I didn't hear that my uncle had a son in the correspondence between my family and Aunt Xue in the past years. It feels so weird."

After hearing this, Deng Bin said: "This Xue Qiu is a concubine, not born to your aunt. But speaking of it, your aunt really makes people wonder what to say. It's no secret that she doesn't want to see Xue Qiu, but it's a pity if she Her son Xue Pan is easy to deal with, but that Xue Pan is like a demon king in the world, seeing what the Xue family will be like if it is handed over to Xue Pan in the future, but this Xue Pan is called It is also good to be born smart and literate."

Xue Qiu turned out to be a concubine. No wonder Aunt Xue never mentioned him in her family letters. Jia Zhu nodded and said, "I saw Xue Qiu today, and I heard that he behaved really well."

A sarcasm flashed across Deng Bin's eyes: "If the Wang family hadn't returned to Jinling and the old man Wang helped to promote Xue Qiu, even if he was a good boy, he wouldn't know what he would be like now!"

"Don't mention him, my cousin is married now, I don't know when I will have an extra little nephew." Jia Zhu joked.

When Deng Bin heard this, there was a hint of helplessness on his face: "Children are fate, I don't force it, but there are always some people who see it. Now that we are in charge of the house, we can't wait to let someone come in for me and your sister-in-law." Add blockage!"

Jia Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect my cousin to be a lover."

Deng Bin laughed at himself mockingly: "I'm ashamed of being a lover, but I'm just afraid." It seemed that he had never told anyone what he was holding in his heart, and Deng Bin had some unpleasant thoughts about Jia Zhu at this time.

"There are so many houses in the Deng family. I have seen them since I was a child, and now I can understand them. Although there are some mothers who treat the concubine children as if they are their own, and teach them well, they are really pitiful. Most of them treat the concubine children like..." I will deliberately indulge my children and let them kill themselves, let alone those who are harshly treated. All these things make people feel discouraged. Take me for example, I was more comfortable in the past, but now I am in charge of the house, what a shitty thing All the sons are here! Auntie, hey, don’t mention it, anyway, there are elder brothers and second elder brothers around, and our family will not be extinct. I would rather be laughed at by others, and I don’t want to repeat this kind of sorrow gone."

Deng Bin's words made Jia Zhu stunned. In his previous life, Jia Huan's younger brother was raised by Aunt Zhao's side. At that time, he felt strange. Although Jia Huan was born by his aunt, logically speaking, he should be raised by his aunt. There's no reason to let my aunt raise her by herself!This is not everyone's rule, if it spreads out, it will also harm the mother's reputation, as if letting the mother harm the concubine!

What's more, Aunt Zhao was born as a maid, what kind of knowledge does she have, and how good can a child raised by such a vulgar person be.

But now, after hearing what his fourth cousin said, Jia Zhu thought about the matter again, and couldn't help feeling a little bit chilly. He always thought that it was because his father couldn't stand Aunt Zhao's pleading, which allowed her to raise the child, while the mother and grandmother I only got the news later, but there was nothing I could do. Thinking about it now, could it be that everything was ordered by my mother?

Let Jia Huan follow Aunt Zhao to become more and more vulgar. Mothers should know what kind of children fathers and grandmothers like. This will break the foundation for Jia Huan to be loved by the elders.

What is it all about!Looking at the fourth cousin in front of her, Jia Zhu deeply felt that it was really rare for her eldest aunt to be so special.Although the fourth cousin is not a direct descendant, but because of the sincerity of the eldest aunt, he is now more filial to the eldest aunt. The two biological sons of the eldest aunt are now released to serve as officials, and the fourth cousin is closer to his side than his own sons.

The mother is like that, and now Aunt Xue is more "stupid" than the mother, and she obviously doesn't want to see Xue Qiu who is a concubine. Coupled with the absurdity of the eldest uncle, Jia Zhu now feels more and more that a shrewd person like his grandfather How could he teach such a thing... Well, he won't talk about it, after all, he is his elder.

It's no wonder that my grandfather was anxious to find a way out for Uncle Xue, and supported his cousin Xue Qiu again. After all, my grandfather was old, and Uncle Wang's generation...

"Look at what I said, I forgot that you, cousin, are about to get married. If you delay you because of my nonsense, I'm afraid my mother will slit my mouth!" Seeing Jia Zhu, Deng Bin didn't say a word Words, quickly opened the mouth to round the field.

If it was because of his words that Jia Zhu felt repulsive towards his future wife, he would be a sinner through the ages. You must know that Jia Zhu’s cousin, Jia Zhu’s cousin, is the only child in the Jia family, and he will spread out in the future. people!

Jia Zhu smiled: "It turns out that my cousin is also afraid sometimes, let's not talk about these things, but what is the rules for the cousin's affairs?"

The decree of bestowing marriage has been made, and when the holy car returns to Beijing, the cousin will definitely come to Beijing, and the royal family cannot come to Jinling to marry. The place to be married must be selected properly, and the palace will send people to teach the rules and etiquette before marriage , these are indispensable, Jia Zhu wants her cousin to live in her own house to be married, but she doesn't know what Deng's house means.

"Mother wants to let the eldest sister come to your house to get married, now it depends on what grandma thinks." Deng Bin's words made Jia Zhu can't help showing a smile.

Since the eldest aunt feels that her family is safe, it is estimated that this matter will become nine out of ten.

As he was talking, Liu Fang came in and said, "My lord sent someone over to say that he is going to visit Qinhuai at night later."

How many times are you in the Qinhuai Fengyue? Who will sigh when you fall into the water

Night tour of the Qinhuai River?Qinhuai River is well-known, but unfortunately he was still young when he came to Jinling, and his eldest aunt watched over him for fear that others would spoil him.Now, Jia Zhu thought about the purge he saw when he entered Jinling City, and he was very suspicious of how the Qinhuai River has been cleaned up now, and whether such a night tour is still meaningful.

But since the prince sent someone to tell him, he naturally had to go. He glanced at Deng Bin, but seeing Deng Bin's face was half a smile, Jia Zhu raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong, cousin?"

Deng Bin smiled and said: "I heard that the princess who gave you the marriage is from northern Xinjiang, and she is very different from our Central Plains girls. She is fierce and aggressive. Didn't the princess also go to the south of the Yangtze River this time? If she knows You go to drink flower wine, hehe, I wonder if you can see a princess beating up a son-in-law angrily."

Jia Zhu shook her head helplessly: "What are you thinking? This is, you're still drinking flower wine. If Auntie finds out, you'll have to be punished."

The prince's hobbies that are different from ordinary people are very clear to Jia Zhu, so it is impossible to drink flower wine or something.

Not long after, Jia Zhu saw that the time was about the same, so she got up and walked towards Xiao Ze, and Deng Bin also took his leave.When they arrived at Xiao Ze's side, they saw that Xiao Ze was chatting happily with a man who looked like a scholar in his 30s.

"This is Xu Bin." Xiao Ze introduced him to Jia Zhu.

When the two met Li, Jia Zhu looked at Xiao Ze suspiciously, but Xiao Ze waved his hand, "The carriage is ready, let's talk as we walk."

I don't know whether the change from riding a horse to a carriage is out of safety considerations, or to take care of Xu Bin who doesn't seem to be good at riding a horse. In short, Jia Zhu feels uncomfortable sitting in a carriage. He has never been in a carriage since he was able to ride a horse. .

Just as Jia Zhu moved his body, he heard Xiao Ze say: "I heard that you are looking for reliable and capable staff for Ma Jun, is there such a thing?"

Jia Zhu was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect Xiao Ze to ask about this, so she nodded and said, "It's true, Ma Jun is a little idiot, I discussed it with Big Brother Kang, and I think his temper is out of place." It's very easy to commit left-handedness, and when the time comes to do something bad with good intentions, it will be too late to regret."

Xiao Ze nodded: "It is this kind of bullish temper that should be honed and tempered. I know that you are thinking of him, but if you don't let him suffer, he will never have a memory. Isn't it harmful? he?"

Jia Zhu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xiao Ze: "I understand what the lord means. I thought this way before, not because I was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to show his ambition because of a small mistake and disappoint the emperor's grace. This is a chance to get up again after falling down. Not everyone has it, since the prince has made a promise here, why should I be so anxious?"

"I didn't make any promises, but you will climb the pole!" Xiao Ze glared at Jia Zhu with half-anger. After seeing the smile on Jia Zhu's face, his heart fluttered. He liked to see Jia Zhu like this. In front of him, he smiled recklessly, showing him his true inner thoughts, instead of a face full of etiquette but alienation and indifference—it is precisely because of this that Xiao Ze warned himself to be patient, now is not the time to act rashly It will also destroy the relationship that has been established with great difficulty.

"Our family Mr. Zhao once said that climbing along the pole is also a skill." After Jia Zhu finished speaking, he saw Xu Bin's expressionless face fluctuate. Although it was only for a moment, Jia Zhu caught it.

What do you mean by "our Mr. Zhao?" This made Xiao Ze unhappy for a moment, and turned the topic to Xu Bin: "Xu Bin has a lot of knowledge in his stomach, and he is also well-versed in dealing with people. Now Ma Jun is sent to Fuyuan County It's already a certainty, and it just so happens that Xu Bin's hometown is also in Fuyuan, so being an aide with Ma Jun is also a bargain."

Another staff member.Zheng Hang, who was beside Uncle Lin, and his own Zhao Ningchuan flashed across Jia Zhu's mind. If it wasn't as expected, Xu Bin was also the emperor's eyes and ears. It is certain that Ma Jun is already a useful talent in front of the emperor, and even further, what does the emperor want to do in Fujian Province as a breakthrough from Fuyuan County?

It is not easy to ask this question now, Jia Zhu swallowed the question in his stomach, and only said: "This is really great."

While talking, the carriage stopped, and after getting off the carriage, Jia Zhu raised his eyes and saw that the Qinhuai River in front of him was not as clean as he imagined. Instead, it was brightly lit, with painted boats standing nearby and full of people's voices.

The carriage was parked in front of a painting boat, and after getting off the carriage, you could board the boat in two steps. Xiao Ze had already stepped on it first, and Jia Zhu got on the boat after him. Fan, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is a bit inconsistent. The appearance of this boat looks the same as the painting boat next to it. The wood, when knocked by hand, is so hard that it can never be ordinary wood.

"I feel disgusted when I mention the boat along the way. It just so happens that it is a pity that I don't visit the Qinhuai River when I arrive in Jinling. It just so happens that someone sent such a boat with filial piety. It is very stable." Xiao Ze's voice echoed in Jia. There was a ringing in Zhu's ear, and when Jia Zhu turned around, he happened to bump into Xiao Ze's arms.

"Your lord walks without making any sound!" A vague breath lingered on the tip of his nose, and Jia Zhu felt that his brain was a little blank for a moment, but fortunately it was only a moment, and then he immediately recovered and withdrew, but The narrow place slammed into the edge of the ship.
