[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Jia Baoyu was going to make trouble before he left Jia Zheng, not to mention that now that Jia Zheng was going on a long trip, he would definitely not come back in a month or two, so he let go more and more. He not only circled around Xue Baochai, but also grinded Jia's mother brought Shi Xiangyun, Jia's mother and the beautiful and clever little girl newly picked from his house, and soon she couldn't think of Shu. Jia Zheng's explanation before leaving, as well as his homework, were thrown to the sky. .

After all, Shi Xiangyun belonged to a historian and was raised pampered, so he didn't know many things.But Xue Baochai was different.Compared with playing with Jia Baoyu, she cared more about how much benefit Jia She and Jia Zheng could get from the locust plague this time, and what kind of benefits they could get respectively.

She is the same age as Jia Yan, both 13 years old, and she was born in January, and she is always very self-motivated.Although Mrs. Wang has mentioned this golden and jade marriage more than once, for Xue Baochai, it is her style to observe the Jia family and see how much benefit she can get from this golden and jade marriage.

If the benefits are not enough, or if there is a better choice, Xue Baochai will not choose Jia Baoyu.

And this time, isn't it the turning point for the Jia family and Jia pardoning the two brothers Jia Zheng?Doesn't it depend on how much benefit she can get from this golden marriage?

Therefore, Xue Baochai ran more diligently to Mrs. Xing Jiayan.

Anyway, Shi Xiangyun will definitely pester Jia Baoyu, but it will give her more private time.

Mrs. Xing also saw Xue Baochai's plan, but because Xue Baochai ran so frequently, even if Mrs. Xing stopped her more than half of the ten times, it was impossible for Mrs. Xing to stop her every time.Therefore, Xue Baochai could come to Jia Yan's yard almost every other day.

This day Xue Baochai came to Jia Yan's place again.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw birds flapping their wings all over the yard.Whether it is a thrush, a parrot, or a pulsatilla, they are not kept in a cage, but replaced with a copper shelf with circles on the left and right, and there are two small bowls sitting on the shelf, and one holds them. One holds water, one holds millet.

However, few of these birds perched on the shelves now, but flew around the yard, chasing the grasshoppers.

At least before Xue Baochai entered the room, a grasshopper hit her on the face.Even though she was used to it these days, it was still not a good experience for Xue Baochai.

So Xue Baochai's first words after entering the house were:

"Second sister doesn't enshrine the locust god here?"

This is also an old custom.

Where there are superstitious places, when encountering locust plagues, sacrifices will be held to worship the locust god, praying that the migratory locusts will leave as soon as possible, and the locust plague will stop sooner.

This is not only done by big families and female family members in the inner house, but also by officials outside.

But for Jia Yan, what kind of locust god is enshrined?Let those migratory locusts harm one place and then the group grows bigger to harm other places?

Jia Yan would rather raise a bunch of sparrows with this money and food!

After Jia Yan invited Xue Baochai to take a seat, he said: "Sister Bao knows me. I never believe in this. Instead of spending money and food to worship the locust god, I would rather use the money and food to raise a bunch of birds and let them hunt these pests. "

"But……"

"No but. Even in front of Long Live, I said the same thing." Jia Yan interrupted Xue Baochai very simply, "By the way, Sister Bao, you came to find me specially, but why?"

As he spoke, he put away his smiling face, looked fixedly at Xue Baochai, and said, "Don't prevaricate me with old words."

After so many days with Xue Baochai, Jia Yan was also a little upset.

She also wants to have private time,

She also wanted to take the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

Jia Yan's words immediately aroused Xue Baochai's thoughts.

She knew very well that this time, once Lin Ruhai was gone, her good aunt Mrs. Wang would definitely look down on Lin Daiyu, and she would just swallow Lin Daiyu's money and then kick Lin Daiyu away.Therefore, Lin Daiyu will not be her opponent. She only needs to let Shi Xiangyun, a girl who has no taboos, offend Lin Daiyu severely, and by the way, let Jia's mother have a knot with Shi Xiangyun, and Shi Xiangyun can also be eliminated.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai were not the purpose of her trip.Her goal today is whether Jia Zheng can make a contribution this time and whether he can be promoted.

It's just that her identity is there, and Jia Yan's identity is becoming more and more noble now, so she has to talk about Mrs. Wang.

Only Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Second sister, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Today I am here in place of my aunt. After all, my aunt is concerned about my uncle, but she is an elder and it is not easy to come here, so I come to beg for my second sister." One word."

Jia Yan knew very well that Xue Baochai actually wanted to know that Mrs. Wang was just an excuse for Xue Baochai.

But she didn't point it out.

She just said: "Sister Bao said that, it's embarrassing for me. After all, I am a daughter's family. I only know what my parents are willing to let me know about these things, but I can't help the second wife."

Xue Baochai immediately noticed Jia Yan's address.

For Jia She and Mrs. Xing, Jia Yan has always been called the old man, wife, father and mother. The specific address depends on the context. Obviously, in Jia Yan's heart, he really respects Jia She, and it is just sincere. I am grateful to Mrs. Xing for her protection, and treat Mrs. Xing as her own mother, instead of treating Mrs. Xing as a decoration like ordinary people.

As for Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai seldom heard the word aunt from Jia Yan. Jia Yan would use this title only when she needed to ridicule Mrs. Wang or when there was something special to emphasize. , Jia Yan mostly used the second wife to refer to Mrs. Wang.

Obviously, this time Jia Amnesty took Lin Daiyu to Yangzhou and gave Jia Zheng the opportunity to show his face. Jia Yan was not unaware.

In other words, Jia Amnesty let it out this time, but it was a big opportunity, and even Jia Yan thought so, so he spoke in such a tone.

After analyzing so many things from such a small address and Jia Yan's tone of voice, Xue Baochai was even happier in his heart.

Because the higher the status of Jia Zheng, the higher the status of Jia Baoyu will naturally be in the future. This is undoubtedly good news for her who has a three-pointed love for the golden jade.

Xue Baochai thought she had some important news, so her smile became more cordial.Even when Jia Yan interrupted her just now, she let it go.

Take it when you see it.

Xue Baochai quickly decided not to ask this question today.

Xue Baochai immediately changed the subject: "I don't know if Master Lin is good or not."

Lin Ruhai is Jia Yan Tanchun's aunt, and even Xichun can be called uncle. He is the son-in-law of the Jia family but has nothing to do with the Xue family. However, Jia Yan followed Jia Baoyu and called Xue Baochai's mother Xue Aunt, so Xue Baochai also followed Jia. Baoyu's name is Lin Ruhai, Mrs. Lin, but he is actually looking at Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's face.

Jia Yan said: "Sister Bao, you and I both understand that malaria is a fatal disease. My uncle caught up with this year's refugees and locust plagues, and it has been delayed for more than a month. Father took sister Lin to the south, and if he could catch up It's good to see my aunt for the last time."

Lin Daiyu was not in front of her, besides the two of them, there were only her and Xue Baochai, Jia Yan didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.

"Just say what you want to say."

Xue Baochai was flustered by Jia Yan's unreasonable playing of cards, so she could only laugh along with her, and said, "I heard that the Lin family's family is not prosperous. So, sister Lin is going to live in this mansion for a long time?"

Jia Yan nodded and said, "That's not the case. My aunt is dedicated to serving the country and the people, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about Sister Lin at all. Sister Lin must be mourning my aunt at our house."

From the day when Jia Amnesty took Lin Daiyu south, Jia Yan had been thinking about it in his heart.

In the original book, as soon as the news of Qin Keqing's unreasonable funeral spread, Lin Ruhai rushed to the winter solstice to pick up Lin Daiyu. It can be seen from this that even though Lin Ruhai knew nothing about Qin Keqing before, with his political sense , I will definitely find clues from Qin Keqing's funeral, and I can naturally see what the Jia family will face after Qin Keqing's death.

It's a pity that people can't fight for heaven, his fate is at stake, and his relatives are too far away to protect Lin Daiyu, so he can only hand Lin Daiyu to Jia's family and to Jia's mother.

Perhaps Lin Ruhai has made some arrangements, but the original work is Venus with a Broken Arm, and these arrangements may be in those lost manuscripts, which are no longer known.

In the original book, the Jia family exchanged Qin Keqing for Jia Yuanchun's wealth, but it also gave Jia Yuanchun a title similar to a posthumous title. It can be seen that the emperor was not unresponsive to Qin Keqing's death.At least, in the emperor's heart, the Jia family who dared to exchange the royal blood for prosperity and wealth is almost like a dead person, but he is not in a hurry to kill the Jia family because he knows that depending on the behavior of the Jia family, it won't be long before the Jia family will kill himself.

The emperor just needs to sit and watch the Jia family do their best. When the time comes, he can get a good name after cleaning up the Jia family.

But what about here?With Jia Yan, Jia's mother saw the hope of the Jia family's revival. Therefore, the Jia family did not need to exchange Qin Keqing for Jia Yuanchun's future. That is to say, no matter whether Qin Keqing has lost his integrity, Qin Keqing is not in danger of life at present. .

It was also because of Qin Keqing's death that Lin Ruhai did not take Lin Daiyu back last winter.

However, if the lifespan of a person is the number of days, Jia Yan will not be indifferent to Qin Keqing.

She had already heard about Youshi and Xichun, and she began to pay attention to Qin Keqing's affairs.

If that time comes, she hopes that she can save Qin Keqing in time.

Since Qin Keqing may be the legacy of the old Prince Yizhong, then Qin Keqing's life and death cannot be decided by the Jia family.
