The Pearl of the Prosperous Age of Red Mansions

, maybe not in this life, after all, little aunt is in good health now, isn't she?However, I unexpectedly thought that in the previous life, I overheard someone talking about a monk with a scarlet head. This monk has a relationship with his younger brother Baoyu, cousin Lin, and cousin Xue. I don't know what is going on in this life?Vaguely, Jia Zhu felt that the inside might not be simple.

"Oh? Madam Lin is happy?" Xiao Ze really hadn't heard of it.

"Of course not." Jia Zhu shook his head hastily. He is not sure right now, and he dare not lie, "I just leave Hangzhou in a few days, and I don't know when I will see my little aunt again. What if I have new siblings during this time?" , as an older brother, I must be prepared.”

Even if it was too early to plan for a rainy day, Xiao Ze couldn't help shaking his head, and then thought of Jia Zhu's love for his younger brothers and sisters, and the smile in his eyes when he mentioned Lin Moxuan, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, Jia Zhu loves children so much, and he and Narentoya's deal made it impossible for her to conceive a child for him.

From the high spirits last night to the preoccupation when he returned to the palace this evening, Xiao Ze personally experienced what is called extreme joy begets sorrow.

The Qinhuai River is a tragedy, and the West Lake is not much better. Xiao Ze deeply feels that maybe he, a landlubber, is offended by the water!

The next day, Jia Zhu went to the Lin Mansion again, and when he handed over the peace talisman to Jia Min, he received the good news that Jia Min was happy. After hearing this, Jia Zhu quickly took out the fourth peace talisman, and said with a smile: "When I was in Lingyin Temple, I mentioned that I wanted to ask for a peace talisman for my aunt's family. It happened that there was a monk in the temple at that time. Hearing this, he said, 'Since it is the family of the benefactor Lin, I am afraid I need four'. At that time, I was still wondering about the fourth one. To whom, I didn't expect it to be fulfilled today!"

When Jia Min heard this, he immediately became respectful: "Oh, what does this monk look like, Zhuer still remember?"

Jia Zhu pretended to be a flashback, but in fact this monk was a non-existent existence, but thinking of the sloppy monk, Jia Zhu couldn't help making up memories, and told Jia Min about the image of a scorpion monk in his mind. At this time, Jia Zhu still doesn't know how his words will affect Ai.

After listening to it, Jia Min secretly made a note of it, and then sent people to Lingyin Temple to search for it but found nothing. Let’s not mention it, but said that after Jia Zhu returned to the palace, he heard that the emperor gave a marriage to the daughter of the Chen family and the aristocratic family in Hangzhou today. After the news of the third son of the Yang family, shopkeeper Wu of Ruijinfang sent a message to Jia Zhu through his relationship.

Seeing shopkeeper Wu, listening to the other party handing over everything from the accounts to the facade to the workers in various places in an orderly manner, otherwise Jia Zhu guessed that since Chen Xueying was engaged, she would no longer run Ruijinfang with herself in order to avoid suspicion. , but he was a little surprised that he came so quickly, and even the other party was so well prepared.

Presumably, it was not a hasty preparation. Thinking of this, Jia Zhu interrupted the shopkeeper Wu: "I often live in the capital, and Mrs. Lin doesn't have the heart to take care of it, so let's close it. The house will be left first, and the rest will be handed over to you." You handle it."

Without Chen Xueying, it would be nothing but a joke for Ruijinfang to keep going. Now the family land in Jinling has been purchased to restore its original seventy-seven-eight-eight-eight, and the capital has also begun to purchase land along the family temple as family land , coupled with the income from the foreign goods store, the family has long been unable to make ends meet.

Instead of burning money in the next days in the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to use the returned funds to re-establish some other properties in the capital. Although the land is good, if the money comes quickly, it must be a shop.

The guard is doing a good job now. Although the warriors are more straightforward than the civil servants, the entertainment in the officialdom is still indispensable. The money in the foreign shop belongs to the public, and he doesn't want to take advantage of the public.

Shopkeeper Wu was slightly surprised by Jia Zhu's decision, and immediately nodded in agreement. Within three days, Jia Zhu received a silver note of 500 million taels.

The 500 million taels was much more than Jia Zhu had expected. There must be her thoughts in it. Jia Zhu shook her head and silently accepted it.

Then the day before leaving Hangzhou, Jia Zhu went to Lin Mansion to bid farewell to Jia Min, took out three of the bank notes and handed them to Jia Min, "Little aunt, wait until the day when the little girl gets married, please use these money to buy it." Something to add makeup to her."

Jia Min was slightly taken aback, and took a deep look at Jia Zhu: "You are..."

"Anyway, she also called me Big Brother Zhu." Jia Zhu smiled, her brows and eyes all indifferent.

The author has something to say: Houhou, put Daiyu's little bun on the upper body, and he should go back to Jingniao!

No.60 Nine Times of Rumors You Hate But Once You Thoroughly Check the Root Causes, You Can Add More Trouble

The main purpose of the emperor's southern tour this time is to prepare for the construction of the weaving bureau, so he stayed in Jinling and Hangzhou for the longest time. After that, Shengjia's stay in other places was much shorter than these two places. Some special circumstances happened, Sheng Jia returned to the capital near the end of the year.

This date is earlier than Jia Zhu expected, so it seems that he will be able to catch up with Baoyu's Zhou Catch Ceremony.Jia Zhu was very happy in his heart, after all, if he hadn't concluded the "drunk and lustful man" when he caught Zhou, his father might not have an innate prejudice against Baoyu.

After returning to Jia's mansion, Jia Zhu first went to Jia Mu's yard to pay her respects. At this time, Mrs. Wang was at Jia Mu's side. The body of the baby wrapped tightly in brocade.

"Grandmother, mother, he is Baoyu's younger brother?" Jia Zhu leaned over curiously and looked at him.

Compared with Jia Cong, who was born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, although Baoyu is not very strong, he is not as thin as Jia Lian was at that time, just a little chubby so that his small face looks white and tender like a bun, which makes people unable to help themselves. Want to take a bite.

Seeing Jia Zhu looking over, Baoyu was not afraid of seeing strangers, and looked at Jia Zhu with big round eyes, very cute.

"You two brothers seem to be carved out of the same mold, and you looked like this when you were young." Jiamu said with a smile.

When Jia Zhu heard this, she felt even more joyful, stretched out her hands to pinch Baoyu's little face, and smiled at Jia's mother: "There is another happy event to tell grandma. When I left Hangzhou, my little aunt just got the news. Happy."

Jia's mother's eyes lit up when she heard that, although Jia Min had already given birth to Lin Moxuan, a man who passed on the blood to the Lin family, but a family like the Lin family didn't think they had too many children. Now after so many years, Jia Min has another When she was pregnant, Mother Jia was naturally very happy.

"Do you know if it's a man or a woman?" Mother Jia asked hurriedly.

"There is not enough time to see it. This time, the doctor Zhang, the one who cured the little aunt at the beginning, Zhang Youshi, was traveling south with him, but he said that although the little aunt has taken good care of her body these years, after all, she lost money in the end. Great, this pregnancy is not important, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to conceive a child in the future, and even if I do, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep it, and if the situation is too fast, my little aunt will be in great danger." After Jia Zhu finished speaking, The joy in Jia Mu's eyes turned into worry.

"My poor Min'er, hey, she has a lot of thoughts. Knowing this, she doesn't know what to be upset about. I just hope she can figure it out by herself, otherwise..." Mother Jia sighed.

"Grandma doesn't need to be sad. My little aunt also knows the seriousness of this matter. She also persuaded me that if this child is a son, he will be with Mo Xuan. If it is a daughter, she will be blessed with both children. I will see The little aunt is not too sad. Besides, Uncle Lin's grandmother also knows that Uncle Lin treated her like this when there was no Xiao Moxuan, let alone now." Jia Zhu was not trying to comfort Jia Mu, but The performance of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai at that time explained all this.

Mother Jia turned pale when she heard this love, but at this time Baoyu on the kang burst into tears and burst into tears. The nurse hurried forward and carried Baoyu to the Nuan Pavilion to nurse. After a while, Baoyu closed his eyes and fell asleep after drinking enough milk. up.

Fearing that Baoyu, who was already asleep, was tossed by Jia Mu, she asked the girl to tidy up the warm pavilion and put Baoyu in it for the time being. Mrs. Wang told the nanny to take good care of her, and then returned to the front hall.

Only then did Jia Zhu ask about the situation in the eldest room, "I don't know if the eldest uncle has a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's a daughter, your sister Yingchun."

Jia Zhu also laughed when she heard the words: "Uncle, now he has both sons and daughters."

"That's exactly what I said. Now I'm raising her by your aunt's side. You'll see it later when you go to see her. She's a neat girl, and your aunt takes good care of her. People like us have many sons and daughters. That's luck."

After all, Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang greeted her with a respectful smile: "The old ancestor said exactly, now that Aunt Zhao is pregnant, the old ancestor doesn't have to be jealous that the Zhou family will have more children in the future!"

"It's not easy for you these days. She's been nervous since she had a boy, and now she's pregnant again, so you'll have to take care of it. After all, children are the most important thing. If you don't know the severity in the future, you will Hit her often, let her know her duty." Jia Mu confessed that now that Jia Zhu is getting married soon, there are some things that should be understood, but Jia Mu does not shy away from Jia Zhu's saying these things.

But Jia Zhu didn't like to hear these stories about women's open and secret fights, and she was tired of hearing this. Hearing that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had a tendency to continue talking, she left Jia Mu's yard on the pretext of going to see her father.

When they arrived at Jia Zheng's side, Jia Zheng let Jia Zhu into the study room. There were still some cleanups in the study room, and they exchanged some politeness with each other. Seeing that Jia Zhu seemed to have something to discuss with Jia Zheng in detail, the cleanuprs all said goodbye and left. up.

After everyone had left, Jia Zhu put on a smile on his face and said with a trace of worry: "When I first entered the city, I heard someone say that Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth. Is it true or is it a rumor? Gossip?"

Jia Zheng nodded after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "That's the case, why, what's wrong?"

Jia Zhu shook her head: "That's not true, it's just that some rumors outside have no meaning, and some people even say that Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, not a mortal child, but a person who came down from the sky to assist the real dragon. It’s really very sinister, if it spreads out, what kind of words will it sound like!”

Jia Zheng's face turned green when he heard that, Jia Zheng now is no better than in his previous life, he can't socialize and is not very popular in the ministry. In this life, one Jia Zheng's Shangfeng and Jia Zhu's good friend Lu Shang's family are relatives, and the other is Jia Zhu's. The existence also made some people in the ministry who are good at making business more enthusiastic about Jia Zheng, which made Jia Zheng quite comfortable in the ministry.

Wherever there are people, there are gossips, and there are many rumors in the ministry. Now, no one knows that since the fall of Prince Yizhong and the pacification of Northern Xinjiang, the growing princes have started a new round of competition. The prince has not been established for a day. , all princes have the opportunity to aspire to this position.

As for the rumor about Baoyu's assistant Zhenlong, Zhenlong can point directly at the future emperor. This time, Jia's mansion was shot inexplicably. This made Jia Zheng, who had experienced the big raid by the capital officials when Prince Yizhong fell, Can feel at ease, at first he was proud of having a son with an extraordinary background, but it all turned into worry.

"This, this, this, what to do!" Jia Zheng was so anxious that his head was sweating.

"Father, don't worry too much. The emperor's heart is open. The most important thing right now is that our family must stick to our position as a pure minister, and we must not get involved in the battles of those highnesses. A lot of rumors are also a joke." Seeing that the fire was almost over, Jia Zhu comforted Jia Zheng again.

"I hope so. Now that Baoyu is still young, it's okay. When the new year comes to April, it's time to catch the Zhou ceremony. If the rumors intensify at that time, His Highness Bao Buqi will come to the door. If this spreads to the emperor's ears, in case, in case Longyan is big Angry, but what should I do?" Jia Zheng did not intend to relax his worries at all.

Jia Zhu felt at ease when she heard that, her father would really think so, which couldn't be better, but at this time Jia Zhu showed a dazed look: "What father said is very true, but I didn't think so far, However, I have an idea, if it is used well on the side of Zhou Zhou, maybe it can be done once and for all.”

After hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "What is the method, let's talk about it."

"Since they are making a lot of noise about Baoyu assisting the real dragon, why don't we slap them in the face! On the day of Catch Zhou, we can design Baoyu to catch some not-so-good things, such as rouge and gouache, what does my father think? "Jia Zhu said her thoughts with a smile.

Jia Zheng hesitated after hearing this: "This, isn't it good? After all, it's a big deal, and I want to see the future of the child..."

"This is just an idea of ​​mine, but as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, so Baoyu's younger brother is naturally good, so what should father worry about?" Jia Zhu added another handful of firewood.

Sure enough, Jia Zheng nodded: "Let's do it this way. On the emperor's side, Zhu'er needs to find a time to mention it."

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to show loyalty to this matter, Jia Zhu naturally understood, and nodded firmly at this time.

The conversation between father and son was very pleasant, after which Jia Zhu left and went to Jia She. Jia She also smiled so much that his eyes almost disappeared when he saw Jia Zhu. Since the Xue family ordered the emperor to connect with him, the oil and water are comparable to before. Much more, Jia Amnesty naturally looked at Jia Zhu in whatever way he liked at this time.

I saw Yingchun, who was only one year old, at Mrs. Hu's place. As Jia Mu said, although her eyebrows and eyes have not opened too much, it looks good. Looking at Mrs. Hu's arrangements for Yingchun, even if it is a direct birth But that's all.

In the previous life, I heard that Yingchun's life was very unfortunate after she got married. In this life, the Jia family will no longer decline, and her natal family will become the support of the girls in the future. Coupled with Mrs. Hu's caring heart, the tragedy will never be repeated.

After paying homage to the elders, she finally returned to her own room. Xin Lan had already prepared everything for Jia Zhu to come back. She knew Jia Zhu's habits very well, and now she can be regarded as Jia Zhu's most useful maid. up.

"What are your plans for the future?" Jia Zhu asked after listening to Xinlan succinctly explain the important things that happened in the mansion during the time she left.

Xin Lan is not too young now, and soon he will marry Naren Tuoya, there are some things that must be discussed openly and honestly.

"I can have any plans, just follow the arrangement of the uncle." Xinlan said it sincerely, after all, she and Fangcao's predecessors - Hong Shan and Lu Hu - both of them were made by Jia Zhu Lord, the one who married is the best among the maids in the mansion.

Because she understands the nature of the uncle, Xin Lan is sure that as long as she has no ulterior motives, Jia Zhu will not treat her badly.

After hearing this, Jia Zhu said: "You have always been safe. I will get married soon. You know that the princess is from outside the Great Wall. When she gets married from the palace in the future, the palace will definitely arrange a dowry girl for her, but I don't want these maids in the palace to control the affairs of my room, so what you have to do is to become the proud person in front of the princess, understand?"

After hearing this, Xinlan nodded and replied: "Understood, if the uncle praises the servants like this, the servants should be dedicated to the uncle."

"You should also pay close attention to the girls in the room. If you are more thoughtful, you can take the lead and send them out. Those dowry maids have sharp eyes. I don't want to cause ugly things." Jia Zhu After some more instructions, I went to the outer court to find brothers Gao Yong and Gao Wu.

They were old servants of the Chen family, and now that Chen Xueying was in a situation, Jia Zhu decided to let them choose whether to stay or not.

After hearing Jia Zhu's words, the two brothers insisted on staying.

"Our two brothers are as loyal to the uncle as they were back then."

Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. If the two of them really decided to leave, he would really be troubled for a while. After all, there are some people around him who he can trust, but there are only those who have the ability to fight and kill the world. Two brothers.

"There's one more thing I need to know right now, that is, where the rumors against Baoyu in the capital came from, and who is behind the scenes." Jia Zhu's face was very serious.

There has never been a rumor in the world. Even if the Jia family is eye-catching, it is not so eye-catching. It would be strange if there is no one behind it!

"Don't worry, sir, we two brothers are clear about these methods, and we will definitely give you a result within three days." Gao Yong patted his chest and promised.

Gao Yong really fulfilled his promise, and Jia Zhu, who heard the result three days later, didn't know what to say anymore.

"Shi Jinwen, it turned out to be him!"

Jia Zhu admits that this cousin of the historian is not a very good person, he doesn't have much ability in his stomach but thinks sourly of himself, he found a job in the Ministry of Rites and he looks clean, and he is used to teaching others, but Shi Jinwen has no reason to deal with it like this The Jia family, after all, the relationship between the Shi family and the Jia family is very good now. Xin Lan also said that the two wives of the Shi family often go to Jia's house to chat with the old lady.

Is this Shi Jinwen's personal behavior, or is the historian's plan for the Jia family now? Jia Zhu weighed it in his heart, and was a little uncertain.

"Can you tell me what Shi Jinwen said? I'll listen to it." Jia Zhu said after pondering for a moment.

Gao Yong showed embarrassment: "Master, the two of us really couldn't hear the original words, but the words did come from Shi Jinwen. According to the memory of the tavern clerk, he and the prince quarreled at that time, and then he blurted out."

"Prince, which prince?" Jia Zhu asked.

"It's that Wang Ren, sir, you don't know. Wasn't that Wang Ren sentenced to exile? He was pardoned and returned to Beijing three months ago. I heard that he has been in contact with another family, but the uncle of the Wang family took him to the house a few times." Gao Yong replied.

"Listen, have you been staring at Wang Ren?" Gao Yong's answer was not something that could be obtained in the past three days, so Jia Zhu had this question.

"That Wang Ren is really not a thing. He has a bad stomach. I have been watching him since he returned to Beijing. Sir, you said this time, could it be that he took advantage of Shi Jinwen?" Gao Yong said his thoughts come out.

Jia Zhu nodded: "It's not impossible. Well, next, Gao Wu, keep an eye on Shi Jinwen, and Gao Yong, keep on watching Wang Ren. I'd like to see if it's one of them who caused the trouble, or the two conspired together." !"

"Yes!" The two replied at the same time.

After the two left, Jia Zhu walked to the yard alone, feeling a premonition in his heart that this time it might still be related to Wang Ren, this time he was pardoned as expected by Jia Zhu, the emperor missed the old minister, and the grandfather was playing with retreat She is so beautiful that she won both the Xue family and Wang Ren.

It's just this Wang Ren, Jia Zhu thought for a while, then turned and walked towards Zhao Ningchuan. If this kind of thing is not Mr. Zhao, who else?

No.70 times

After listening to Jia Zhu's words, Zhao Ningchuan nodded with a smile and said, "If I were to analyze it, I think Wang Ren's possibility is relatively high. Shi Jinwen's stomach is full of sourness, and it's very possible to say a few sour words behind his back." , but it's not like his idea to come up with such a sinister trick."

The balance in Jia Zhu's heart also favored Wang Ren just now, but Jia Zhu couldn't figure out one thing, that is why Wang Ren did this, so Jia Zhu said: "Although my attitude towards the Wang family is not pure, but at least this superficial effort is to do it. When I got home, the last time my uncle bumped into a wall and found me here, I agreed without saying a word. I have already reached this point, and I really can't figure out how Wang Ren could do this."

Zhao Ningchuan twisted his beard and pondered for a while: "This is really puzzling, but instead of speculating here, it's better to ask more. I remember that you have a friend named Wei Shu, who is now in Honglu Temple. Most of all, he is exquisite and has a lot of friends, why doesn't Zhu'er look for him?"

It was a coincidence to find Wei Shu.

At this time, Jia Zhu, Qi Hao, and Kang Zhenyuan all came back from the southern tour, and Wei Shu, who had not moved in the capital, was looking for them to have dinner together, but the place was a strange place, a house in Xinyang Hutong.

Jia Zhu found the place Wei Shu had mentioned, knocked on the door knocker a few times, and it was Wei Shu's servant, Sui Fang, who came to answer the door. Seeing Jia Zhu, he nodded and bowed to invite him inside, saying as he walked. He said, "I'll just wait for you, Uncle Jia!"

When Jia Zhu entered the room, a lot of food and drink had already been placed on the table. Wei Shu smiled when he saw Jia Zhu, "You are the last again, three glasses of fine wine, three glasses of fine wine!"

Kang Zhenyuan filled the wine pot with his hands, and Jia Zhu didn't refuse. After drinking three glasses, several people laughed again, and Jia Zhu said: "It's too late for me to rush over here. I drank it too, but I want to give you a good meal, my stomach is really hungry."

Everyone is not polite, and everyone’s food is delicious. The dishes on this table are carefully selected. There are not only Jiangnan flavors, but also authentic Beijing flavors. Kang Zhenyuan couldn't help but smacked his lips and recalled the taste: "It's strange to say that this meat is my favorite, but when I was on the boat, I felt disgusted when I saw meat, and I had an appetite when I saw some green meat. I’m back in the capital today, but eating meat is the best thing! Damn it, I’m almost turning into a donkey in the south of the Yangtze River, I know how to eat grass all day long!”

"I think that when I went to the south of the Yangtze River with my father for the first time, I was also tossed by the waterway, but after getting used to it, it will be fine. This time, Lao Kang seems to have suffered a lot!" Wei Shu smiled to Kang Zhen Yuan filled another cup. He and Qi Hao are both authentic northerners, but they lived in Jiangnan for a period of time with their father.

"Old Wei, I want to ask you something this time." With their friendship, Jia Zhu didn't need to talk around the clock, so he said it directly: "The capital is full of ears so that the eyes can be bright. There is no one else but you, old Wei, tell me, is Wang Ren playing tricks on my brother Baoyu?"

Wei Shu nodded after hearing this: "Even if you don't mention this matter today, I still have to tell you. Wang Ren is a kid who keeps making small moves. This time, he and that Shi Jinwen were the ones who made Shi Jinwen fall into him step by step. I used him as a gun in the trap, he is very slippery this time."

Before Jia Zhu could speak, Qi Hao knocked the wine glass on the table, his eyes widened: "It's all over. The Wang family has had a lot of fun in the past few years, and they still don't have a long memory!"

Kang Zhenyuan's face darkened. As a member of the royal family, he has a keener grasp of the current situation than Qi Hao, so he said: "I'm curious, is Wang Ren's little move this time his own intention, or is it his own intention? There's someone else behind him."

Last time, the matter of Captain Long stopped the princes for a while, but now the limelight is over, and some people are ready to move again.

"I haven't heard of anyone wooing the Wang family this time. It should be the boy's own intention. If you want to talk about why the boy did this, I'm quite clear." Wei Shu raised his eyebrows mysteriously and said.

"Oh? I'm really curious about the reason." Jia Zhu hurriedly asked after hearing this.

"If we want to talk about it, we have to start talking about Wang Ren's exile..." Wei Shu's chatterbox opened at once.

Since Wang Ren was exiled, his wife's situation in the Wang family became more and more difficult, and finally she simply moved back to her natal family. After Wang Ren was pardoned and returned to Beijing, the husband and wife were also strangers. The concubine finally chose the Duan family, who was the concubine daughter of Mrs. Wang's direct subordinate at Honglu Temple. This Lord Duan is now Wei Shu's upper peak, and has a very good relationship with Wei Shu. Forget the year.

Miss Duan's dowry girl, Yanhong, and her younger sister, Chazi, were given to Wei Shu by Master Duan when she got married, and it was from her that Wei Shu heard the news.

Then Wang Ren took Yanhong as well shortly after he took the concubine, and now there is no wife to take care of her at home, Miss Duan is also the master who dare not speak loudly, then Wang Ren smashes things when he gets too drunk and his temper is scary. overbearing.

Once Wang Ren was lying on the bed drunk and scolded Jia Zhu.

"What the hell! He's still young and witty, why doesn't he have a good uncle to help him! He's really capable, why didn't he go to the imperial examination, and went to the guard camp to curry favor with the last prince, and went outside the Great Wall for a while, just licking his face What are you talking about military exploits, I am! Dad is really old and confused, and he still said that he is good, what is good about him, he said like a flower, and I will become a horse manure when he arrives! He is good, why can’t you give birth? Such a good son, only a coward like me! A mother with a leg is not upright and the bottom is crooked, it’s just each other! When Uncle Wang finds an opportunity, let’s see how I deal with you, Jia’s, I’m sorry!”

In the end, Wang Ren even scolded his father, and the words finally reached Wei Shu's ears. Wei Shu dared not be careless with such a master who harbored resentment towards Jia Zhu and was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Wei Shu felt relieved when he sent additional people to stare at Wang Ren, and there was a situation where Wei Shu had something to say to Jia Zhu. Wei Shu's words made Jia Zhu's heart full of question marks suddenly clear, but Afterwards, Jia Zhu couldn't help shaking her head, if Wang Ren had a new master and therefore had to deal with him, it was reasonable, but this reason really made Jia Zhu not know what to say.

As for Shi Jinwen, Jia Zhu is also quite helpless. If you want to complain, this Shi Jinwen is after all defending the Jia family and fighting against Wang Ren, but doing bad things with good intentions makes people more entangled. This is called an enemy who is not afraid of wolves, but like pigs His teammates, this Shi Jinwen has been an official in the Ministry of Rites for several years, why is he still so stupid, I really don't know how many people he has offended in his usual social interactions.

Jia Zhu heaved a sigh of relief knowing the cause and effect. The rumors about this time were well used, which saved Baoyu from the trouble of attracting his father's dissatisfaction. Now on Wang Ren's side, what can Jia Zhu and him care about? Come on, it's better to share the situation with Jinling's grandfather, and see if you can get some real benefits from the inside.

The annoying matter came to an end, and everyone became interested in Wei Shu's house. Kang Zhenyuan spoke first: "Although this place is not too big, it is very particular. It's your house, and it's not like your house can't fit. Why are you buying a house?"

Wei Shu chuckled: "Since I invited you all here today, I will come out to meet you. Come on, go and invite your grandma out."

grandmother! ?Everyone was stunned. Wei Shu was engaged in Jinling back then. The other party was the daughter of the Qi family in Jiangnan. Wei Shu and her had been married for many years. Jia Zhu and others had met this sister-in-law before.

But when Wei Shu's "grandmother" came out gracefully and gracefully, everyone was dumbfounded. This was not the young grandma they had seen before, but this one looked very neat, and she was also generous and decent when she met her, and her voice was audible. It was pleasing to the ear, but there was one thing that made Jia Zhu stunned for a while. He always felt that this woman looked familiar.

When the young lady went down, everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Shu, and Qi Hao took the lead in attacking: "Okay, you old Wei, leave your sister-in-law at home, and you are here to support a foreign house! If this makes you Mrs. Wei knows, so she has to peel your skin!"

"Oh, this is also a trade-off. I always respect your sister-in-law very much. Originally, I planned to take Shuqing back, but it just so happened that your sister-in-law is pregnant again. Wouldn't bringing someone back at this time be a nuisance to her! I That's why I thought about placing the person here first, and then find a chance to take the child back after the child is born, and you all are not allowed to tell me that I have slipped your mouth!" Wei Shu said a little nervously.

Kang Zhenyuan was entangled in another point: "You look generous and decent from the outside, but with my experience as a prodigal son of fireworks for so many years, I can't hide the wind and dust on her body. You say that you, Old Wei, are innocent. There are plenty of women, why bother to find such a kiln sister, who will go back to the mansion with you in the future, who knows what will happen, you are not afraid of unrest in the house?"

"No, no, Shuqing is also from a family background. She became an official prostitute under the pressure of her parents. When I met her, she was still a virgin. Otherwise, I couldn't treat her like this. I have to worry about my hat changing color, right? "Wei Shu waved his hand quickly and said.

Jia Zhu was still thinking about who this Shuqing looked like, so she didn't participate in these discussions. When the sky got darker and everyone had drunk enough, they went home, and Wei Shu naturally stayed with her. Jiao Didi's outer room is in one place.

"Today these dishes are all prepared by my concubine. What do you think, master? Are you used to eating them?" Seeing that Wei Shu was a little drunk, Shuqing gave him a head massage virtuously to help him relieve the pain in his head.

"Yes, I know you have always been very careful." Wei Shu was indeed very satisfied.

"I see that the dishes in the capital are the most popular. I am afraid that the dishes in the south will not be well-prepared, and I feel uneasy!" Shuqing looked relieved at this time, and she looked more beautiful. .

"Jia Zhu loves to eat food from the south, you've done a good job, don't worry." Wei Shu said a little drowsily.

When the name Jia Zhu came out, Shuqing's hands paused, and then she continued to rub Wei Shu's temples, but couldn't help asking: "I also know that my concubine is from the south of the Yangtze River, but I have heard of the name Jia Zhu. He is the owner of the most famous Ruijinfang in the south of the Yangtze River, but I don’t know if it’s Jia Zhu.”

"It's my brother, it's not easy, he was only so old back then! But now things are different, this Ruijinfang, hey!" Wei Shu fell asleep after finishing speaking, leaving the girl Shuqing in a daze Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window.

Things are different, she was back then...

At this time, Jia Zhu was also tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't sleep. He was sure that he had never heard of the name Shuqing, but maybe Shuqing was not her real name, after all, she used to be an official prostitute.It's just so familiar, who could it be?

Forget it, let's rest for tonight, since it is confirmed that Shi Jinwen is not the culprit, then Gao Wu can be taken back and asked him to investigate Shi Jinwen's background.

"Is the uncle asleep?" Xinlan's low voice sounded from outside.

"It's already rested." Fangcao also lowered her voice and replied.

"Is Xin Lan back? Come in and talk." Jia Zhu raised her voice to let Xin Lan in.

When Jia Zhu came back, she didn't see Xinlan. She heard from Fangcao that her mother had called her away. When Xinlan came back, Jia Zhu asked what was the matter.

"My wife asked if the uncle had taken the people in the room." Xinlan answered truthfully, thinking of Mrs. Wang's scrutinizing eyes, Xinlan's back broke out in cold sweat.

"Mother, you support me, don't worry, since I let you do it, I will definitely protect you in the future." Jia Zhu ordered.

After so many years, my mother still can't let go of the power of the housekeeper. To be honest, Jia Zhu really doesn't want Madam Wang to intervene in it. Madam Hu has been in charge for so many years.

"What do you think mother means when she asks about this?" Jia Zhu suddenly asked Xinlan.

"This... is probably a nobleman who wants to enter the house. My wife wants to be decent. If there is someone in the room, she will have to send it out, or temporarily send it to Zhuangzi." This is the usual practice of rich families, Xin Lanju replied honestly , and then thinking about Mrs. Wang's expression, she couldn't help but continued: "According to my servant, my wife deliberately beat my servant to make these girls in the room do their duty. It seems that I want my wife to arrange something."

Jia Zhu nodded: "Go down and rest first."

After Xinlan left, Jia Zhu frowned. If his mother dropped a girl in a vacuum, it would really be a headache for him!

The night was long, and Jia Zhu suddenly felt empty in his heart. He didn't know what Xiao Ze was doing at this time. He felt tired of the two of them being together all day during the southern tour, but after returning to Beijing, they only saw each other during the day. When I met him, I couldn't say a few whispers, but now I think he is thinking hard.

At this moment in Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Xiao Ze was sitting by the table, but he couldn't read any official documents at all, but Jia Zhu was in front of him, and what Jia Zhu had said was also in his ears.

People say that if you don't see each other every day, it's like three autumns. He even saw Jia Zhu during the day!

At this moment, Wu Lianjin
