Red House Farm Stay

"No, listen to me." Jia Zhuo shook his head and continued: "The seventh prince is still young, and the emperor is not very old. The Jia family needs to balance the relationship with other princes while supporting the seventh prince. Among the grown-up princes, the second prince is the most threatening. At least, the Jia family can’t clash with the second prince face-to-face before the seventh prince has grown up. It’s best to drag him into the camp of the seventh prince. , at least to save time for the Seventh Prince and the Jia family, don’t tell me that you didn’t discuss it like this.”

Jia Lan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. The few people in the Jia family who are now in charge, indeed discussed it this way.

"But I will never forget what they did to you and the other daughters of the Jia family. It's only a matter of time..."

"No, it's not a matter of time, it's a matter of interests." Jia Zhuo's eyes were a little red, and he tried hard not to let his tears fall. This is not the first time she has been abandoned, isn't it?For so many years, she has lived a good life without relying on the Jia family, hasn't she?

Li Wan came in with soup, "Hurry up, I just made it, sister Qiao will try my aunt's cooking, huh..." Looking around, he found that only his son was lying on the bed in a daze in the room.

"Where is Miss Qiao?"

"She left earlier, let me tell you."

"Brother Lan, sister Qiao didn't live with your second uncle. No matter how good the Wang family is, the farmer's family can't teach her after all. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly and don't make trouble with her." Li Wan looked at his son worriedly. Well, she would never be happy to say that her son is not good, but Qiaojie is a younger sister after all, and she has suffered so much, so it doesn't matter to give up a little bit.

Jia Lan laughed, "It's nothing, is your son so ignorant?"

But the worry on his face remained unchanged, Li Wan put down the soup, knowing that his son had no appetite to drink now.

Jia Zhuo didn't take the carriage, and the two families were not far away, so she wanted to go to the market.Why is she willing to come back with Jia Lian, because she didn't hear any news about Wang Ren and Jia Rong from Jia Lian's lips.

It stands to reason that Jia Lian shouldn't be the first to tell her that the person who harmed her has been punished or dealt with, and she can go back with peace of mind.But no, not a word.

If there are some things that are hard to tell her, but he didn't tell the Wang family either.

If it is still the same as before, the Jia family will not be able to fight against Prince Zhongshun, Wang Ren and Jia Rong who are attached to Prince Zhongshun.She's totally fine with it, because that's the reality.

But she couldn't accept that the Jia family still tolerated Wang Ren and Jia Rong under the current situation, and even made false claims with them for the sake of benefit.

On the other hand, Jia Lian did not respond positively to her marriage with Ban'er. What kind of attitude is this? Jia Zhuo does not want to cause any harm to the Jia family to the Wang family because of himself.Therefore, she wants to go back to the Jia family, and she wants to kill all possible harm to the Wang family in her own hands.

"Yes, this is a family, a big family, and anyone can be given up for the benefit of the family. Shouldn't you have known it earlier? Jia Zhuo, you shouldn't have had hope from the beginning." She said to herself.

At this moment, Jia Zhuo missed the Wang family terribly, everyone in the Wang family, and even the most ordinary fireworks in the Wang family's kitchen.

"Go and go, what is rich or not, I haven't heard of it."

"Master, please just ask me a question..."

"If you don't leave, I will do it again."

There was pushing and shoving at the front door of an unknown house.Just as Jia Zhuo was about to bypass these people, he glanced at them inadvertently and said in surprise, "Yoko."

"Big girl." Yoko was also taken aback, not expecting to meet Jia Zhuo here.

Seeing Jia Zhuo's extraordinary attire, the doormen dared not make any mistakes, let go of Yoko, pushed him away, cursed something, and then went back and closed the door again.

"What are you doing here in Jinling? Did you come here alone?" Jia Zhuo asked.

"The little one came here alone, and the boss and the little boss will come over in a few days." Yoko looked frustrated.

After questioning Jia Zhuo, he found out that Yoko had a son before. Because of poverty, his wife left the son to remarry. Later, his parents became seriously ill one after another, and several acres of Susukida in the family were sold.He really couldn't eat, and his wife came back and took away his son, but he didn't stop him.

When he later found a part-time job and went back to take his son back, he found out that his wife had sold his son.

He has made troubles and yelled at him, but his wife killed him and he took the money to redeem his son if he wanted his son.

Pity him for these years, he has been doing part-time work for others every day, and he can't eat enough for himself, so how can he save money.After finally meeting the Wang family, he settled down and gradually got a little savings in his hands.But it is still far from redeeming people.

The last time Xiaodongshan was besieged, Wang Gou'er agreed to redeem his son and returned, so he couldn't wait to find Ren Yazi at that time.But that human tooth is dead, and her son only remembers that it was sold to a rich man living in this area.But he didn't know which one it was, so he had to ask Yoko and his family to find out.

Yoko has already knocked on the door of dozens of houses. If he is kind-hearted, he will ask a question for him;

The owner has already promised to help him pay, and he should handle the matter of finding someone by himself. He thought it was a very simple matter, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

But he would never give up at this time, patted the mud on his trouser legs, cupped his hands and said: "Big girl, you should go back quickly, and the little one will go to the next one to look for it. In this world, there are always more kind-hearted people. If you are not willing to accommodate, if you think of other ways to inquire about it, it is impossible for a whole family of servants to be as hard-hearted as these few sects."

Jia Zhuo thought for a while, but she didn't have a good solution, so she nodded, "Then you should be careful." Then she told him where she lives now, "If anyone is in trouble, you can go to me."

Living in this area, doesn't that also include Jia's family?

As soon as Jia Zhuo went back and beckoned Fu'er to come over, she heard Zhang's mother come over, saying that Madam invited her to come over and talk.

"Sister Qiao is back, remember to take Fu'er with you next time you go out, and someone will run errands for you. That maid is also stupid, she doesn't know how to go out with you." Ping'er sighed slightly, the servants at home can't Compared with before, people like Fu'er used to be considered vulgar to be a rough envoy in the mansion, but now they can only use it like this.

"I'm not used to being followed when I go out. Besides, there are not many servants at home. She can help you if she stays." Jia Zhuo has already observed that there are only six servants in Jia's house, one is guarding the door, the other is driving, and the other is still there. I want to go out with Jia Lian.The inner courtyard is nothing more than a cook, a mother Zhang who does odd jobs, and a Fu'er.

"I have wronged you, but it doesn't matter, let's take our time, and it will always get better and better. We Qiaojie will live a more honorable life than your mother in the future."

Jia Zhuo believes that what Ping'er said is true, but she really doesn't think that a noble life is the best life that suits her best.

"Why doesn't sister Qiao speak?" Ping'er asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel that Ban'er probably can't reach the level you think."

Hearing her take the initiative to mention Ban'er, Ping'er felt a little uncomfortable, changed his face and said calmly: "It's not urgent, you just came back, we don't want you to get married so soon, you have to stay with us more day."

Jia Zhuo raised her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but praise Ping'er a little bit more. She didn't criticize Ban'er directly, saying that he was not good enough for her, but instead used a soft policy towards her.Her trick is so good that people can't pick the wrong one.

"The empress wants to see you. I will take you into the palace in a few days, but going to the palace is no better than being at home. The rules on the outside can never be wrong."

"I'll learn." Jia Zhuo didn't let Ping'er waste his time talking, because she knew that when she met a smart person, confronting him on the bright side would only make her suffer.What's more, Ping'er didn't intend to harm her, it's just that everyone has their own understanding of what is good, so we can't say she was wrong.

Ping'er smiled, "Your father brought back a peacock crown, the workmanship is very exquisite, you will wear that on the day you enter the palace."

As he spoke, he took out a corolla. The peacock's feathers were drawn with gold wire, and a ruby ​​was set under it.Looking small and delicate, it is indeed very suitable for a little girl like her.

"Daddy gave it to you, so what do you use for it?" Jia Zhuo asked instead of reaching out to pick it up.

Ping'er's smile deepened, "Don't worry, I still have more. Besides, your father bought this for you. Although he didn't say it, he actually loves you very much."

"I know, I know everything." Jia Zhuo looked up and smiled at her.

Until Jia Zhuo left, Ping'er was still sitting there, reminiscing about her smile just now.This kid seems to be smarter than expected.

"Brother An is awake, I want you to hug me." Mama Zhang came in from the ear room next door with Brother An in her arms. As soon as the groaning Brother An saw his mother, he immediately opened his arms and opened his mouth wide, smiling. It's like a happy dumpling.

"Come to mother quickly." Ping'er took An Ge and kissed him on the cheek. Her son's appearance occupied all her mind, and she no longer guessed Jia Zhuo's thoughts.

Jia Zhuo came back with the flower crown, Fu'er took it with both hands and put it away in the dowry, enviously said: "Madam is so kind to Miss."

Jia Zhuo smiled and asked her, "I wanted to ask you just now, do you know the people around here?"

"The servants and servants are not familiar with the people nearby, but Mama Feng in the kitchen is the most popular, maybe she will recognize her."

"You ask her to come and ask."

After seeing Mama Feng, Jia Zhuo asked a few words, and he knew that Mama Feng was not a servant who had signed a contract of prostitution, but a cook who had come to Jia's house to work.

"What do I want to ask as a lady? I don't think it's the hosts nearby who I want to ask. I know a few kitchen servants by face, and I can always meet them when I go shopping."

"Oh, on the way back, I met a man who was looking for relatives and wanted to redeem his son, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. I couldn't help but feel pity. I wondered if Mama Feng knew who was nearby There was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old named Fugui."

"It turned out to be like this. Those who are acquainted with us are all people on the stove, and the servants are all waiting in the front yard. If they are good at it, they can go out with the men. Those who are not good at it are those who raise horses and do rough work. Ordinarily, I really can’t get along.”

"That's what I said, please trouble mom."

Jia Zhuo didn't expect Mother Feng to know Yoko's son by such a coincidence, but she just spread the news through Mother Feng's mouth. If it could reach Fugui's ears, it would save Yoko from looking for someone so hard. .

On the second day, Lin Xiaohong personally came to pick her up to play. As usual, Jia Zhuo did not bring Fu'er. Lin Xiaohong lived much farther away. Unlike Jia's family, who had already lived in the outskirts of the rich and powerful families, Jia Yun lived where businessmen gathered. The place.Although the house is bigger and better than Jia Lian's, but according to Lin Xiaohong, the price is much cheaper than Jia Lian's.

"The location is different, and the price is very different. Our master Yun is trying his best now, and wants to move to be neighbors with Second Uncle Lian."

"You are teasing me again, don't look at me like this, I know I have nothing to do today, I will talk to Jia Qiang, anyway, he is at home alone, he must be very boring." Jia Yun said hello to sister Qiao and left , Kung Fu, Ling Guan came over with eight-color snack boxes.

"I ordered some of the popular dim sum in Jinling, and they are still hot. Try it quickly." Lingguan is also a sharp-tongued man, and his words are clear and crisp, with a hint of allegro. accent.

"I still prepare these when I come to my house. I don't know, but I think how stingy I am as the host." Lin Xiaohong pretended to beat the senior official, who hid while begging for mercy.

"My good sister, please spare me this experience, didn't I hold back for a while?"

Lin Xiaohong smiled "puchi", and turned to explain to Jia Zhuo, "This girl used to love sweets, but at that time she was particular about her figure and she didn't dare to go too far. Since she married Brother Qiang, the new clothes she made every year were all in the end. You have to loosen your waist to put it on."

Jia Zhuo covered her mouth and smiled, Lingguan just looked a little plump, with thin skin and white flesh, which reminded her of Xue Nuo Ci, a dim sum she had eaten in another dimension.

"I won't tell you anymore, look, Miss Qiao is laughing at us." Ling Guan picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and put it in his mouth, raised his chin and snorted at Lin Xiaohong.

Seeing their bickering, Jia Zhuo felt relaxed, and asked casually, "Have you seen the empress?"

The two were taken aback, Lin Xiaohong was still deliberating, and Ling Guan had already swallowed the pastry in his mouth, "Why did the empress see us? The emperor didn't let her see the Jia family before, and it was Jia Lan who made a contribution, so she let go. Now it's only I met Second Grandma, but I have never seen anyone else."

"Is it the empress who wants to see you?" Lin Xiaohong finally spoke from the side.

"Probably yes, my mother told me to learn the rules so that I can enter the palace." Jia Zhuo nodded.

"After seeing the empress, it's time to take you out to meet other people. They are all old friends of the Jia family in Jinling City." When it came to talking about old friends, the voice was very heavy, and the corner of Lingguan's mouth curled up. There was a sneer.

"Don't be weird, what's so rare with a red top and a white one? I thought you'd seen each other a long time ago, why are you still like the little girl back then, always saying angry words?" Lin Xiaohong shook her arm, with a look on her face disapproval.

"I'm not angry, did I say something wrong? In the final analysis, even if we are redeemed, so what? In their eyes, we are also slaves and actors who are not on the stage. How can we sit and talk with them? .”

Jia Zhuo could tell that Lingguan was a firecracker. At the first meeting, he felt that she was very similar to Lin Xiaohong. After a long time, he could tell the difference. Lin Xiaohong had a sharp tongue, but her mind was restrained. What, no scruples at all.

"Sister Qiao, please ignore me. I can't help but complain a few words in front of her. It's not like this usually. You are different from us. You are a legitimate eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. You should have Being held in the palm of your hand. From now on, you can do it hard and make back all the hardships you suffered in the past few years."

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes." Lin Xiaohong's voice was raised, and she seemed anxious.

"Let's not talk, let's not talk, what is the beauty of the day, who's house is the place to enjoy the pleasure..." Ling Guan smiled, his eyes were full of self-deprecating color.

Jia Zhuo understood in his heart that with the power of the empress, the Jia family must be actively planning the road to family revival.The men outside have important things to do, and the women in the house also have their social affairs.

Although Ping'er came from a not-so-good family background, she was very popular in Jia's family and was praised by everyone, most importantly, her ancestors praised her.Later, the Fuzheng tribe didn't have any objections, but felt that he was a sincere defender of Jia's family and would never leave Jia Lian.

Lin Xiaohong was a rough envoy, and Ling Guan was an entertainer in Jia's house before. For Jia's family, a member of a side branch can marry them, but they must not go out to sit or socialize on behalf of Jia's family.

Jia Zhuo sighed, no wonder in the time and space she was in, so many people couldn't forget the women in the Grand View Garden, they were all dazzling.Ling Guan, who was born as an actor, never refused to admit the labels imposed on her by the world, and never felt that she was inferior. On the contrary, she insisted that she was equal to everyone else.

It's just that her pursuit seems so out of date in this era, and it may even be regarded as a heresy that is ignorant and ignorant.

"Sister Qiao must be very depressed. I don't think there is much to see in the place where you live. I have prepared two pots of flowers for you. See if you like them."

Lin Xiaohong took care of sister Qiao with one hand and senior official with the other, their house was big and there were a lot of flowers and trees in it.

"Is this a hosta flower?" Jia Zhuo went up to sniff it. The buds looked like hairpins, and the color was white like jade. The light fragrance hit, and the wide green leaves made the petite hosta flower more delicate.

"This is the season of flowering. I think the little girl also likes such fresh and good ones. I will bring you a few pots of bright flowers in the new year. It is cold and lively. In the small greenhouse at home, there are many Woolen cloth."

Lin Xiaohong saw that she couldn't put it down, so she knew that she liked it, so she picked two pots of the best ones in the row and asked the servants to put them on the carriage.

"Thank you sister-in-law." Jia Zhuo accepted it generously.

"Whatever it's worth, as long as you like it." Lin Xiaohong took her hand, "We won't be eating at home today, I've reserved a table in a restaurant, and we're going to have a whole crab feast."

Lingguan smiled and said angrily; "I heard that the whole crab banquet launched by Yuanyue Tower is hard to find. It's rare that you got a seat. Fortunately, I came today, so I knew you must have left something good. It really didn't look like what I expected. material."

Lin Xiaohong pursed her lips and smiled, "Zaoxia ghost, what good thing can happen without you."

The decoration of the Yuanyue Building is very elegant. Rice wine is rolled in the box, ginger tea is boiled, and the most traditional steamed crab is quickly placed.

Looking at the things lined up in front of him, Jia Zhuo couldn't help but smile wryly.Lingguan taught her hand in hand, and he was sweating profusely before he figured out what the knot tools were for.

"I kind of know why your family can't save money, and you, a prodigal bitch, will eat you up. Seeing how proficient you are, you really have a lot to eat." Lin Xiaohong teased beside her.

"Hey, in life, shouldn't you be kinder to yourself." Ling Guan finished helping Jia Zhuo easily, and turning around didn't delay her eating speed at all.

"To be happy in life is to be happy to the fullest. Life is already very difficult. If you don't treat yourself better, how can you live in this world? I completely agree." Jia Zhuo took a bite of crab roe, full of happiness, tightly Surrounding her, I almost want to raise my hands and feet to praise the stunner in this world.

After steaming, there are chrysanthemum stewed crabs. The flavors range from light to heavy. The most famous one is a secret sauce sauce roasted crabs introduced by the chef of Yuanyuelou.The sauce is rich and fragrant, but it will not cover the fresh fragrance of the crab. After taking a bite, it will leave a mouthful of fragrance.Finally, a pigeon glutinous rice soup.The soup is thick and white, and the bottom is boiled thick glutinous rice.

"Crabs are cold in nature, so you can't eat too much if it's delicious. Next time, let's go to your sister-in-law Qiang's house and have a good meal for her." Lin Xiaohong pointed to Lingguan and smiled.

"Sister Qiao may not be able to go out these days. I'll take you to my house to eat crabs when I come back from the palace after meeting your empress."

Ling Guan agreed without hesitation, and said with regret: "It's a pity that they don't offer delivery at home, otherwise it would be nice to book a table and eat at home."

"It's not that people don't give it away, it's just that ordinary people don't give it away. You know it, but you still have to find trouble yourself. It's just a new way to eat. Let me say, no matter how hard you try, steaming is the best."

Lin Xiaohong sent Jia Zhuo back first, greeted Ping'er, and then boarded the car with Lingguan.

"What do you think?" On the way back, Ling Guan relaxed his shoulders and leaned against the pillow behind him.

"It's not in vain that we saved her once, it's really different from those white-eyed wolves." Lin Xiaohong's eyes turned red, and she almost shed tears from grievance.

The mood that has been hidden in front of outsiders is finally revealed in front of Ling Guan.

"Don't you often think of Second Grandma Lian? She is Second Grandma Lian's daughter, so of course she resembles her." Ling Guan comforted her by patting her on the back.

"It's just..." Lingguan hesitated for a moment, "I also advise you that people will change, especially when they suddenly have something that they never had before."

"I believe Second Grandma Lian would rather see her get married to Ban'er than to return to Jia's house and become their tool, manipulated and fooled. I promised Second Grandma Lian, you know, I promised her myself... ..." Lin Xiaohong burst into tears in a moment of excitement, and the frightened senior officer wiped it vigorously with a handkerchief.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you whatever you plan to do, let's go to the head office."

Only then did Lin Xiaohong laugh through tears, "I know, you will always help me."
