The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister
Chapter 25
The most important thing in the family is that King Beijing will stay overnight today.
It was getting late, and Jia Zheng tried to persuade him to stay, but unexpectedly, the king of the county agreed, which almost frightened Jia Zheng.
In the past, the king of the county also came to celebrate his birthday, or to participate in various banquets, but he never stayed overnight, but this is different from the past, the prince agreed immediately, and everyone's bluffing was gone.
After being dazed for a while, he started to get busy. Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered someone to clean the quiet courtyard. The maids, servants and women all got busy, and it was even more lively than the birthday banquet just now.
Because of the marriage mentioned before, I don’t know who revealed so much. The wives and grandmas in this large courtyard are all fake martial arts, with many contacts, and I have heard about it more or less Son, although I don't know whether it is true or not, it is enough to chatter after dinner.
Today, when the King of Beijing came over, the female relatives looked at him from afar, and their hearts were filled with admiration, and their hearts were shaken. How could such a handsome person be seen in this world?
Now that I heard that the king of Beijing County is going to stay here, I'm so daring, and I can't help but think at the same time, who can make the king of Beijing County stay so worried.
Is it Sister Lin who was very famous before, or Miss Xue who is currently participating in the election?
Xue Baochai had seen the Prince of Beijing from afar before, but he only saw it from afar, not really. He often heard how the Prince was friendly, handsome, accomplished, and accomplished. Seeing him today, It's completely true, there's not even a single bit of embellishment, it seems that our rumors are far less than one-tenth of the county king.
Xue Baochai used to love seeing the county king, and before meeting him, she had secretly admired her, and now that she met her, she was even more fascinated, but when she thought of her mother leaning more towards Jia Baoyu, and a few days ago, her mother had bothered her uncle to lobby Your majesty, I'm afraid this matter... has long since faded away.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai sighed for no reason, a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't express it on his face, he just talked and laughed with the sisters next to him, while coaxing Jia Baoyu.
Wu Zhao also sat among the sisters, drinking tea by himself, without being high-profile at all, chatting and chatting with the sisters around him. Well, when she was not a queen, she got up step by step like this, so although she didn't like it very much, she was still very handy.
I think that when Sister Lin first entered Jia's mansion, she was depressed, she cried secretly when something happened, and her mouth was sour, she always lost her temper and taunted others because of some trivial things, everyone Everyone in the big courtyard has face, who will be happy behind his back if he is ridiculed?
Therefore, when Sister Lin first entered Jia's house, she was also loved by the old lady, so no one dared to say anything, no one dared to snort, but she didn't like to see her very much in her heart, but it's different now, but Sister Bao is here, The sisters didn't think that sister Lin was better.
Because of what?
Of course, it is because Sister Lin is friendly, she thinks logically about everything, she is magnanimous and well-behaved, while Sister Bao is generous and has the demeanor of a big family, but she loves to teach people. It's no fun.
What's more, Sister Lin and Sister Bao stood together, and for some reason, Sister Bao's vigor was much weaker, no matter how you looked at it, it was not enough.
In fact, the sisters are thinking well, but it is indeed not enough to watch, because if you compare the atmosphere, if you list all the women in the world, who can compare with the queen's atmosphere?
The sisters were sitting together chatting and laughing, and someone whispered, "Hey, tell me, is it because of Sister Bao or Sister Lin that the prince of the county stayed here?"
The others laughed and said, "You're the one who chews your tongue!"
Another person said: "I said it was Sister Bao! Sister Bao is dignified and majestic!"
"It's Sister Lin! I say it's Sister Lin, Miss Lin is ice-snow and smart!"
While the girls were talking, they suddenly heard a laugh, which made them sweat in white hair. Looking back, it turned out to be the pungent and sour-faced Wang Xifeng in the house!
Sister Feng came over and said, "Then it's your sister Bao who is the one who is nailing it."
Wang Xifeng smiled but didn't smile, everyone was chewing their tongues, and when Sister Feng appeared suddenly, everyone was afraid that it would be too late, but they wondered why Second Mistress Lian was so sure, but she didn't dare to ask.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile but not a smile: "If the prince is not a smart person, how can he be favored by the Holy One? Which smart man likes to have a smart woman by his side? It's nothing to blame!"
When Wang Xifeng said this, the maids almost laughed out, not because of anything else, but because Wang Xifeng seemed to have scolded her husband Jia Lian.
After all, Wang Xifeng is smart, and that is something that everyone in the house knows. Although many maids and servants think that Wang Xifeng is mean and cruel, they have to admit that Wang Xifeng is a master of martial arts, a hero among women. However, at the age of 20, the huge Jia family handled it properly, and no one dared to make a fuss.
In this way, Jia Lian must be a stupid man, otherwise she would not be able to tolerate a woman like Wang Xifeng.
After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, he said: "What are you looking at? The prince is coming, and he is still here, so what are you waiting for?"
The girls dispersed at once, but they were a little unwilling and wanted to take a second look at the prince.
Soon the county king was surrounded by people from Jia's family. When he came here, Wu Zhao didn't look too much. He walked among the crowd and went back to Jia's mother's courtyard.
Wu Zhao went back to Jia Mu's courtyard, and before he entered the green cupboard, he heard the sound of laughing and joking inside. He didn't need to go in to know that Jia Baoyu was here. It would be more convenient for him to enter Sister Lin's boudoir than his own bedroom.
Wu Zhao didn't go in, but stood in the outer room, and said to the old woman who was guarding the room, "From now on, if Master Bao wants to come in, you should stop him."
Those women were so frightened that they looked at each other one by one. Is there any place in this mansion that Jia Baoyu dare not enter, it is probably Jia Zheng's place. Someone stopped Jia Baoyu, if Jia Baoyu went crazy Get up, don't you want to die?
But Wu Zhao said: "Just stop it, even if it comes to my ancestors, I'm free to talk about it."
Only then did the women agree.
Wu Zhao said flatly, "Hit the curtain."
The mothers-in-law rushed to open the curtains, and Wu Zhao walked in gracefully, and took a closer look, not only Jia Baoyu, but Xue Baochai also came, and they were sitting in the room together.
Wu Zhao walked in, Jia Baoyu saw it, jumped up immediately, grabbed Wu Zhao's hand with a foolish face, Wu Zhao took an extra step without a trace, Jia Baoyu rushed over, almost fell, The maids and women around him, screaming so loudly, rushed to support Jia Baoyu one by one.
Jia Baoyu didn't touch Wu Zhao, walked back resentfully, and said, "My good sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I think about you every day, don't you think I haven't?"
Wu Zhao sat down, Zijuan came over with hot tea in a small tea tray, Wu Zhao blew on the leaves, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "Look at what you said, you were beaten by the uncle a few days ago. Beat it like that, bored in the house and recuperate in shame, and still think about this and that?"
When she said this, the girls around her burst out laughing with a "puchi". Seeing that it wasn't just the girls around Wu Zhao who were laughing, but also the girls around Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai hurriedly turned her head and stared, the little girl covered her mouth and suppressed a smile.
Jia Baoyu still wanted to refute, but Wu Zhao immediately said, "Why? No? I see, if you think about it, you're just thinking about the little nun who ran away in shame that day."
Jia Baoyu was immediately ashamed by her, and he didn't dare to talk to Wu Zhao, only Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai also wanted to ease the embarrassment, and talked about the lively events at the birthday banquet. When Jia Baoyu mentioned it, he started to make fun of himself again. Wang, who is better?"
Xue Baochai recalled the matter of the birthday banquet, and immediately thought of the king of the county. The king of the county was still staying in the mansion at this time, and he couldn't help but drift away. His mind was full of the posture and appearance of the king of the county, and he was a little ecstatic. She thought to herself that her mother had already made her uncle refuse to go, and she would definitely not be able to do it again. Xue Baochai also felt that it was right to listen to her mother, but she still felt a little sour in her heart.
When Jia Baoyu asked, Xue Baochai went into a daze and didn't answer him. Wu Zhao saw that, wasn't that the expression of his youngest daughter Huaichun?I couldn't help laughing, and said, "Sister Bao, I'm sorry to answer you, for fear of hurting your heart."
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to leave. He put down the tea tray with a clang, and the tea bowl and tea tray fell to the ground with a rumble. Jia Baoyu was so angry that he left immediately.
This suddenly woke up Xue Baochai. When Xue Baochai looked again, Jia Baoyu had already walked out. She had no idea why Jia Baoyu was angry.
Over there, Jia Baoyu's head was swollen with anger, and when he strode out, he heard the sound of "tattling" footsteps, and then someone chased him out, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but look back, it turned out to be Zicuckoo, he recognized it Yes, Zijuan has been by Wu Zhao's side.
Jia Baoyu thought about it, maybe it was Sister Lin who asked her to keep him?Jia Baoyu was still a little angry, thinking about how to embarrass Zicuckoo.
Zijuan hurried to catch up, but she said to Jia Baoyu, "Master Bao, Miss Lin said that the tea bowl and saucer were brought back from Yangzhou Lin's mansion all the way, to relieve her homesickness. Uncle Bao wants to leave after being broken like this? Lose money."
As soon as Zijuan said, Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded. He was stunned for a long time, and his face turned red. How could he have money? Then he took off all the valuables on his body, such as fans with jade pendants and so on.
When Zijuan came back, Xue Baochai had already left. Wu Zhao sat alone in the room and took away all the broken tea trays. Zijuan smiled and said about Uncle Bao's expression just now.
Wu Zhao smiled faintly, and didn't want Jia Baoyu's fan cover and jade pendant, but said, "You take it and exchange it for cash, and then distribute it to the girls and women, that's all."
When the maids and women heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. They thought that following such a girl would bring no benefits to them. They didn't realize that there would be a steady stream of benefits. The girls are generous, even more generous than the girls in the capital.
Wu Zhao drank some thin wine today, fell asleep tired, and woke up the next day after three poles. It's not that Wu Zhao likes lazy beds, it's just that her body is too weak, and she can't sleep lazy. , the body is still too soft.
Wu Zhao is not like being an empress at that time, she had to force herself in everything, now that she has changed her skin and become sister Lin, she naturally has to treat herself a little more generously, so as not to waste her new life.
Wu Zhao didn't wake up until she was full of sleep, and Zijuan Xueyan was washing her face. Jia Baoyu was angry and couldn't hold back her face, so she didn't bother her today.
After Wu Zhao got up, he heard the commotion outside, because he asked, "What's going on outside?"
Zijuan rushed in quickly and said, "Girl, it's a big deal! Someone is coming from the palace, and the sage told the master to come to the palace to meet him!"
When Wu Zhao heard this, the people around him were frightened, and they didn't know what was going on. After all, Jia Zheng was a fifth-rank official, and he didn't have much chance to see the Holy Majesty on weekdays. , but the Tu Emperor is the Tu Emperor after all, and now he wants to see the real emperor, he is so scared that he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Mother Jia brought some female relatives, and hurried out to see. Wu Zhao naturally knew whether it was a blessing or a disaster. It must be the matter of the emperor conferring Yuanchun, and the matter of Yuanchun visiting relatives. But the Jia family is so profligate, disaster is not far away.
Jia's mother came out with a group of female relatives, Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty had already hurried out of the mansion, ready to enter the palace.
Wu Zhao saw that the king of Beijing hadn't left yet, and the king was talking to Jia Zhen at this moment, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, as far as Xiao Wang knows, it's a big happy event. As for what kind of happy event, Xiao The king is about to sell it."
When Jia Zhen heard this, she felt a little relieved, but still worried.
After Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty left, it was time for the Prince of Beijing to go back, and everyone rushed to send money to the King, opened the middle door, and sent the King out of the mansion.
The king of the county didn't come in a sedan chair, but just rode a horse, and a follower led the horse. The tall black horse, against the king's silver-white robe today, was indescribably handsome, and his figure became more and more tall and straight grow up.
The king of the county raised his robe with a "crash", quickly got on the horse's back, stretched out his hand to hold the rein, and everyone rushed to see each other off. Because Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty were not there, it was Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu who saw him off at the very end.
At this time, the county king suddenly said: "I almost forgot..."
As he spoke, his eyes scanned the crowd, as if looking for them, and then his eyes were gentle and smiling, and he fixed his eyes on Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao felt that he became the focus in an instant, not only the eyes of the county king, but also the eyes of other people were all focused on him. Although Wu Zhao was used to this kind of attention, he suddenly came out like this.
Wu Zhao always felt that... the county king seemed uneasy and kind.
Sure enough, the county king said with a slight smile: "I almost forgot, Miss Lin, the intention to go to Yangzhou to inform your father to return to Beijing to take up his post is already on the way."
When Wu Zhao heard this, he immediately had a headache. Before the funeral, the county king had already said it in front of everyone. Just a few days ago, he seemed to have forgotten it now, and mentioned it again. It was before everyone.
Where is the county king forgotten?The county king's memory is good, Wu Zhao is very clear, he is afraid that the county king wants to find "evil faults" on him, and he has not given up his previous thoughts, and wants to confirm the rumors.
After the county king finished speaking, Shi Shiran urged his horse to leave without waiting for Wu Zhao to reply.
Everyone knelt down to see them off, and after waiting for a long time, Wu Zhao heard someone from the girls behind him say in a very small voice: "Look, it's Sister Lin who compares to Sister Bao."
The king of Beijing County said nothing, leaving only a distant and unrestrained back, but it gave people infinite aftertaste and reverie...
The eyes of the people looking at Wu Zhao became more and more different. Wu Zhao suddenly had a headache, and the chattering voices around him became louder and louder. Many people started to murmur, not knowing what they were talking about.
However, because the gentlemen entered the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, this matter was quickly exposed. The old lady ordered Lai Da, the general manager of the Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Da, the general manager of the Ningguo Mansion, to come and go, flying horses back and forth to visit, After searching for a long time, I finally got the news. It turned out that it was really the same as what the King of Beijing said, and it was a happy event!
It was originally Yuan Chun, the eldest daughter of the Jia family, who was conferred the title of Minister of Fengzao Palace and concubine Xiande. As a result, everyone was delighted when they heard it, their brows were beaming with joy, and the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears.
Mrs. Jia Mu Xing, Mrs. Wang, etc. put on their makeup one by one, took a sedan chair, and went into the palace to thank the emperor. It was a busy day, so lively.
But Wu Zhao is an idler, and other people are busy with their feet, but Wu Zhao becomes more and more leisurely, counting the time, planning to call Jia Yun over, and let him search for the mansion for himself, so that he can wait for Lin Ruhai to enter the capital. live.
But now in the capital, there is no shortage of high-ranking officials. A high-ranking official has several mansions. Let's talk about Jia's mansion. I wish everyone had a private mansion. Why?Auntie!
Therefore, the land is very tight, and a decent mansion can't be found for a while. Moreover, Wu Zhao's silver has not yet been paid. If he only relies on the 3000 taels on hand and Jia Yun's filial piety to buy a decent mansion , that is absolutely not enough.
Lin Ruhai loves Lin Daiyu so much, Wu Zhao doesn't want Lin Ruhai to suffer any grievances, the mansion must not be shabby.
Jia Yun was also in trouble for a while, and said: "This... my nephew has to look for it again. Fortunately, the elder will not come to Beijing tomorrow, and there is still some time."
Wu Zhao nodded, and Jia Yun said again, "It's just...the money..."
Wu Zhao knew that Jia Yun wanted to tell herself that 3000 taels was not enough. Although 3000 taels was already an astronomical figure for ordinary people in that era, it was far from enough for such a big family.
Wu Zhao said, "I've made my own fortune, you just have to look for it."
Jia Yun quickly said yes, Mrs. Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, who happened to be busy for a day, came back. Although Jia Yun is a junior, but something like Qin Keqing happened, so it was inconvenient to stay in Jia Mu's courtyard, so she prepared Goodbye.
Not long after Jia Yun left, Mother Jia came back. The group was chatting and laughing, and they were very happy. After all, the big girl Yuanchun is different now. The family is in the court, but relying on the hereditary title, and the support of Mrs. Wang's brother, but now it is better, and there is a concubine.
Everyone was chatting and laughing. Before Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty came back, someone came to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng over there, saying that Master Zhen from the East Mansion asked them to come here to discuss with the second master Lian about the family.
When it was sealed in Yuanchun, the family-senting will be in the next year, so the family-senting house must be settled immediately and start construction quickly.
When Jia Lian heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. After all, there is Uncle Jia Zhen in the East Mansion, and Uncle Jia Zhen is the patriarch, so he must come to this matter, but in the West Mansion, Jia She always doesn't care about anything. After all, Mother Jia doesn't like to see him. As the boss of the West Mansion, but lives in a remote corner, one can imagine his status.
And what about Jia Zheng?He has always been a "leisurely cloud and wild crane" and decent person, so he doesn't like to take care of these things, and he must "leave" these things to the younger generation. In addition, Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's nephew and daughter. The child must have fallen on Jia Lian's head, and he did not run away.
After all, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, etc., in Jia Lian's generation, apart from him, were "still children" in Jia's mother's eyes, so they couldn't be the leading role.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian wished his face would fly, it really gave him face, and after he said it, he would be the uncle of the country, how could he not have face?
Besides, the matter of managing the provincial hospital is a lucrative job. Wang Xifeng usually takes care of him, but now if he gets such a good job, even if he takes care of him, he can spend money everywhere.
Wu Zhao looked at Jia Lian happily, and didn't know that he was "imminent in disaster", so he followed the people in the East Mansion and swaggered away.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were also afraid that Jia Lian would be bad, so she asked Wang Xifeng to go with her. Wang Xifeng was naturally happy, but in fact, she had already been itchy. Now that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing had spoken, Wang Xifeng immediately said: "Okay! It has to be me, you Look, look, you can't do without me over there, I'll go right away, just don't let him fool around."
As Wang Xifeng said, she straightened her waist and went away in high spirits.
Wu Zhao just sat on the side, not in a hurry, smiled slightly, picked up the tea and took a sip.
On such a day, until dusk, the men over there can be considered to have negotiated a consistent matter, and the plan for the provincial court has been settled, so naturally they set aside a piece of land in the two prefectures, and they will not be allowed to go to other places. The drawings are already being drawn, and the division of labor is also clear.
Sure enough, Master Zhen from the East Mansion was sitting on the flag, while Jia Zheng in the West Mansion didn't care about it, and Jia Amnesty couldn't care about it, so it fell on Jia Lian's head.
As soon as Wu Zhao heard about it, he immediately laughed and fell on Jia Lian's head, so he was not afraid.
Because of the seal of Yuanchun and the approaching of the New Year, the meeting is over. Jia's mansion is very lively, celebrating almost all night. The next day near noon, Jia Lian got up over there, and Wang Xifeng came over to say hello to the ancestors.
Wu Zhao heard that Jia Lian was coming, so he tidied up and was going to meet the second master who sat on the flag in Xifu for a while.
When Wu Zhao came out, Jia Lian and Mrs. Wang were greeting the old lady. The old lady was in a good mood and was happy to see everyone. She pulled Wang Xifeng long and short, and talked about housework.
Wang Xifeng said: "Hey, if you want me to tell you, old ancestor, don't bother with these trivial matters, and think about your happiness at ease. Now that the eldest girl has just been sealed, you can worry about this, worry about that, change tomorrow, the emperor will be alone." Huanxin, make our eldest girl the queen, you say old lady, what are you going to do?"
When Wang Xifeng said this, her mouth was like a honeypot, coaxing the old lady to laugh out loud, and she didn't care about the manners, she was very happy, and said: "You are the only one who can say that in the whole house, don't say that , if someone hears it, what is it? They think we are boasting!"
Bian'er Wu Zhao listened silently, thinking that she still wanted to be a queen, and being a concubine was already a grace.
Seeing Wu Zhao come out, Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, but he was no longer happy. He was afraid that Wu Zhao would expose his shortcomings, and he was panicked.
However, Wu Zhao smiled at him and greeted Second Master Lian.
Jia Lian hurriedly returned the salute to Wu Zhao, stuttering, and said, "Sister, sister, don't be so restrained!"
Wang Xifeng coaxed the old lady, and when she looked back, she saw Jia Lian stuttering at Wu Zhao, she immediately misunderstood, pinched Jia Lian secretly, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Your sister Lin can also think about it." ? Still stuttering?"
Jia Lian was wronged, wronged to death, not long ago, he made up his mind, but now he has no such intention at all, because he dare not, even if he is given 250 guts, he will never dare!
Wang Xifeng coaxed the old lady, but Jia Lian didn't dare to sit or stand, so she bowed and said, "Lian'er still has business to visit her relatives, so I will retire first."
When Jia Mu heard this, she said: "Yes, you are busy, go ahead, leaving this careless and pungent household is enough to annoy me!"
When Jia's mother said so, she still loved to see Wang Xifeng very much, and she pulled Wang Xifeng to say that the housework was reasonable, and Jia Lian agreed a series of promises, and ran away.
As soon as Jia Lian escaped, Wu Zhao found an excuse and left too. Jia Lian thought he had escaped from the tiger's mouth, but he smiled slightly and said, "Second Master Lian, where are you going in such a hurry?"
When Jia Lian heard this, she was bluffing and didn't want to stop, so she said with a dry smile, "Sister Lin? I'm busy, so I'll go first."
Wu Zhao smiled and said, "What are you busy with? Even if you are busy, you should pay off the debt first?"
Cold sweat dripped down Jia Lian's head in an instant, and he looked at Wu Zhao dripping with sweat, but seeing that there was no such fearful Jiao Da around Wu Zhao, so he got a little bit more confidence, and straightened his back.
Seeing the change in his expression, Wu Zhao smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong? Second Master Lian forgot about this debt?"
As she spoke, she shook her white and tender hand, "Wow!", and with a sound, the note spread out, was blown by the wind, and floated in front of Jia Lian's eyes.
Jia Lian was so frightened that he wanted to snatch it. How could Wu Zhao make him happy? He said, "Second Master Lian is sitting in the mansion now. I'm afraid he's a busy person, and the nobles forget things too much. Give my sister this small, silent money. forget."
Afraid that she would speak too loudly, Jia Lian said, "This...how can I forget this?"
Wu Zhao said bluntly, "When will the remaining 7000 taels be paid back?"
Jia Lian said in a cold sweat, "This... this..."
Wu Zhao smiled faintly, and said, "Well, I know that Second Master Lian's life is not easy. Others only know that Second Master Lian likes to eat money, and he has to reach out to fish for the money in the oil pan, but they don't know that Second Master Lian If Grandpa doesn’t have this frying pan at home, why is it so loud?”
When Jia Lian heard it, Wu Zhao's analogy was too good, and Wang Xifeng was the frying pan!
But Wu Zhao suddenly said good things to Jia Lian, and Jia Lian's heart trembled, he didn't know what was going on.
Then Wu Zhao changed the subject and said: "Since there is no money, then we can pay it in another way, that's all... For example, if the second master Lian left the matter of sitting on the scorpion to others, wouldn't that be enough? "
Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, and sat down on the flag. Isn't that just a matter of the provincial hospital?This is a fat difference, let alone 10 taels, it is too small to say, how much money can be made from it, and Jia Lian will never be reconciled to letting others do it like this!
Jia Lian said with a dry smile: "This matter, other people will definitely not do it. Before my sister, you managed the Ningguo Mansion, that is... that is, the funeral. It was all the middle class of the daughter's family. Now it is our man's business. , sister, don't worry about it."
Wu Zhao smiled, and asked back, "Who told you to let your second master Lian give it to me?"
Jia Lian nahan said: "Is that...?"
Wu Zhao said flatly, "It's for your nephew, Jia Yun."
Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat all of a sudden, and said, "Jia, Jia Yun?!"
Wu Zhao said with a smile, "It's okay."
Jia Lian didn't want to let it go, Wu Zhao didn't give him this opportunity, and said directly aggressively: "It's a matter of course to pay back the debt. Either the second master Lian will take out 7000 taels now, or the second master Lian will bother him. Let go of the troublesome work, or..."
Wu Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, showing the shy look of a little girl. Jia Lian saw that she was indeed beautiful, but her heart trembled and she panicked with fright.
I heard Wu Zhao continue to say: "Either, let's go to the old lady to comment on this reason, and take out the handwriting signed by Lian Erye himself, and let the big guys see how vicious Lian Erye is. people."
Jia Lian was so frightened that he died. Ordinarily, if he just wanted to pay back the money, he would just beg Wang Xifeng. Doesn't everyone push the wall down?Which one in Jia's mansion is the most worry-free?
Jia Lian muttered, not daring to make a sound, Wu Zhao didn't have time to spare, and pretended to leave, Jia Lian immediately said, "Okay! Okay! I'll let... I'll let it go, but I'll let it go, let's write it off! "
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhao smiled and said, "It's only [-] to [-] yuan."
Jia Lian's eyes widened and he said, "[-] to [-]?!"
Isn't there still [-] to [-] left? !
Jia Lian couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "You...don't be too greedy! You know that old saying, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant like a snake!"
Wu Zhao was calm and said, "My sister is thin-skinned, not like the second master Lian, who is in charge of other courtyards and can covet hundreds of thousands of free cash. If it doesn't work, let's go to the old lady to save worry."
Jia Lian was trembling all over, his face was flushed, and he was beating all the time, but Wu Zhao was calm and relaxed. Seeing his expression of being unable to get angry, it was really pleasing to him. After all, she had seen this appearance a lot, and she remembered that she did it back then. When she was the queen, many veterans of Li and Tang thought that she was not going well, but they never dared to act out. That feeling of applauding the world, knowing that the other party disobeyed you and not angry with you, but they had to submit and obey the arrangement, was Wu Zhao's last. like.
Simply put, it is the desire to control.
Jia Lian's chest was about to explode with anger, and said, "Okay! Okay! That's it!"
Wu Zhao smiled and said, "It's not satisfactory."
Jia Lian still struggled a bit, and said: "Although we have made a verbal agreement, I am afraid that if I raise it suddenly, everyone will have doubts."
Wu Zhao didn't take it seriously, smiled lightly, and said very firmly: "I don't need to bother Lian Erye, as long as you do as I say..."
Jia Lian was supposed to be sitting in the West Mansion, but within two days, Jia Lian suddenly fell ill, and the doctor couldn't figure out why. Will have a headache.
Because of Jia Lian's illness, the affairs of the provincial hospital in the West Mansion were messed up. Jia Zheng and Jia She came to visit Jia Lian in person. They even brought Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, etc., to visit Jia Lian. .
Wu Zhao was also among the crowd, looking like Jia Lian would die tomorrow.
Even Jia Yun came over, the house was "hustle and bustle", Jia Lian was sick in bed, and took a hard look at Jia Yun.
Jia Yun came to visit out of good intentions, but she was stared at inexplicably, and she didn't know what it meant, and her eyes were ruthless, which is called a deep hatred.
Jia Yun was puzzled, thinking about it, it was Jia Zheng's birthday that day, they had some intersection, and they hadn't seen each other since, so they wouldn't stare like this.
Just as Jia Yun was thinking about it, she heard Jia Zhen say, "If you are sick, how about the West Mansion? Who will take care of it? We'll have to visit the site tomorrow and start construction another day. Time won't wait for anyone."
Although the east and west mansions are both Jia's mansion, the Rongguo mansion and Ningguo mansion are also fighting openly and secretly. Several forces are united. Although the old lady lives in Rongguo mansion to the west, the patriarch Jia Zhen is from Ningguo mansion to the east On weekdays, the two prefectures live in peace and harmony, and Jia Zhen also wants to dominate when such a thing happens.
Jia Zheng didn't like to manage vulgar things. Jia Amnesty knew he couldn't manage them, and his words were not as powerful as Jia Zhen's junior. On the other hand, Wang Xifeng knew in her heart that Jia Zhen wanted to reach out to them, and Wang Xifeng just wanted to recommend herself to replace her husband. Location.
In the end, I heard Jia Lian talk, and without giving her such a chance, she said: "Although I am sick, I have a confidant, who is the most successful on weekdays. He is also a direct descendant of our Jia family. For the serious Jia family, Uncle Zhen attended the funeral a few days ago, and he helped take care of it, even though he is a junior, it is rare that he trained early."
At first everyone thought that Jia Lian was going to recommend Wu Zhao, but then they thought it was wrong. Sister Lin was not a direct descendant of the Jia family, but a side branch. Later, they gradually understood, but they couldn't believe it, it was Jia Yun!
Jia Yun was also dumbfounded. Second Master Lian was glaring at her just now, but now she recommended her. What a big deal?
Jia Yun thought about it carefully, yes, it must be Miss Lin's actions!
At that time, at Jia Zheng's birthday banquet, he heard Wu Zhao say that he had given him a certain errand, and he thought it was just a not-so-big errand, but he didn't know that it turned out to be such an earth-shattering errand, and he was still sitting in the Xifu!
Jia Yun was shocked, and looked at Wu Zhao in surprise, but Wu Zhao was indifferent.
Not only Jia Yun was surprised, but everyone else was also surprised. Wang Xifeng was the most surprised. Jia Lian had such a good deed, and even pushed it to a poor boy from the Jia family.
Wu Zhao gave Jia Yun a look. Jia Yun was a smart person, and immediately stepped forward and said sincerely, "Although Yun'er is not talented and is a junior, she is willing to learn and has a lot of energy. Uncles are working hard, if there is any work, just leave it to Yun'er."
Jia Lian recommended it in this way, but Jia Amnesty has no objection, anyway, if he is not sitting on the bench by himself, who is different?
As for Jia Zheng, he thought in his heart that he was an elder and couldn't take care of it. Let the children take care of it. Jia Zheng just took care of the acceptance. If Jia Zhen in the East Mansion were to take care of it all by himself, it would be a loss of face for the West Mansion. Well, Jia Yun is not considered to be from the East Mansion, just passable, and not very out of the ordinary.
The old lady Mrs. Wang also thought so in her heart, Jia Yun is not from the Ningguo Mansion, so the two disadvantages are the lesser, and Jia Yun can be regarded as a good one.
Everyone thought about it secretly, drew a little way, and decided on it.
Jia Yun didn't realize it, but it did, and she became a person sitting on a tummy. Excited, Jia Yun, who is so smart and extremely smart, was almost overjoyed, and quickly lowered his head, pretending to be responsible, and thanked them one by one.
Over there, Jia Lian personally promoted Jia Yun, regretting so much that his intestines were green, and it wasn't that the 7000 taels were offset, but only 10,000 or [-], which seemed to be gouging out Jia Lian's intestines. There must be a total of [-]+ taels!
Jia Yun was happy, but Jia Zhen was not happy on the other side. It was a good opportunity to be disturbed like this, and she was still a direct descendant. What kind of direct descendant is Jia Yun?
Standing behind Jia Zhen are two sons who also came to visit. The eldest son is Qin Keqing's husband, Jia Rong. , Jia Zhen dotes on him very much, the family treats him as a real brother, not only that, Jia Rong also dotes on this younger brother, the two are very close.
Jia Zhen had no choice but to let Jia Qiang set up her own family and not live in Ningguo Mansion because she was so close that there were many rumors. Just like this, Jia Qiang's status could not be shaken.
Jia Qiang is so comfortable, the main reason is
It was getting late, and Jia Zheng tried to persuade him to stay, but unexpectedly, the king of the county agreed, which almost frightened Jia Zheng.
In the past, the king of the county also came to celebrate his birthday, or to participate in various banquets, but he never stayed overnight, but this is different from the past, the prince agreed immediately, and everyone's bluffing was gone.
After being dazed for a while, he started to get busy. Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered someone to clean the quiet courtyard. The maids, servants and women all got busy, and it was even more lively than the birthday banquet just now.
Because of the marriage mentioned before, I don’t know who revealed so much. The wives and grandmas in this large courtyard are all fake martial arts, with many contacts, and I have heard about it more or less Son, although I don't know whether it is true or not, it is enough to chatter after dinner.
Today, when the King of Beijing came over, the female relatives looked at him from afar, and their hearts were filled with admiration, and their hearts were shaken. How could such a handsome person be seen in this world?
Now that I heard that the king of Beijing County is going to stay here, I'm so daring, and I can't help but think at the same time, who can make the king of Beijing County stay so worried.
Is it Sister Lin who was very famous before, or Miss Xue who is currently participating in the election?
Xue Baochai had seen the Prince of Beijing from afar before, but he only saw it from afar, not really. He often heard how the Prince was friendly, handsome, accomplished, and accomplished. Seeing him today, It's completely true, there's not even a single bit of embellishment, it seems that our rumors are far less than one-tenth of the county king.
Xue Baochai used to love seeing the county king, and before meeting him, she had secretly admired her, and now that she met her, she was even more fascinated, but when she thought of her mother leaning more towards Jia Baoyu, and a few days ago, her mother had bothered her uncle to lobby Your majesty, I'm afraid this matter... has long since faded away.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai sighed for no reason, a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't express it on his face, he just talked and laughed with the sisters next to him, while coaxing Jia Baoyu.
Wu Zhao also sat among the sisters, drinking tea by himself, without being high-profile at all, chatting and chatting with the sisters around him. Well, when she was not a queen, she got up step by step like this, so although she didn't like it very much, she was still very handy.
I think that when Sister Lin first entered Jia's mansion, she was depressed, she cried secretly when something happened, and her mouth was sour, she always lost her temper and taunted others because of some trivial things, everyone Everyone in the big courtyard has face, who will be happy behind his back if he is ridiculed?
Therefore, when Sister Lin first entered Jia's house, she was also loved by the old lady, so no one dared to say anything, no one dared to snort, but she didn't like to see her very much in her heart, but it's different now, but Sister Bao is here, The sisters didn't think that sister Lin was better.
Because of what?
Of course, it is because Sister Lin is friendly, she thinks logically about everything, she is magnanimous and well-behaved, while Sister Bao is generous and has the demeanor of a big family, but she loves to teach people. It's no fun.
What's more, Sister Lin and Sister Bao stood together, and for some reason, Sister Bao's vigor was much weaker, no matter how you looked at it, it was not enough.
In fact, the sisters are thinking well, but it is indeed not enough to watch, because if you compare the atmosphere, if you list all the women in the world, who can compare with the queen's atmosphere?
The sisters were sitting together chatting and laughing, and someone whispered, "Hey, tell me, is it because of Sister Bao or Sister Lin that the prince of the county stayed here?"
The others laughed and said, "You're the one who chews your tongue!"
Another person said: "I said it was Sister Bao! Sister Bao is dignified and majestic!"
"It's Sister Lin! I say it's Sister Lin, Miss Lin is ice-snow and smart!"
While the girls were talking, they suddenly heard a laugh, which made them sweat in white hair. Looking back, it turned out to be the pungent and sour-faced Wang Xifeng in the house!
Sister Feng came over and said, "Then it's your sister Bao who is the one who is nailing it."
Wang Xifeng smiled but didn't smile, everyone was chewing their tongues, and when Sister Feng appeared suddenly, everyone was afraid that it would be too late, but they wondered why Second Mistress Lian was so sure, but she didn't dare to ask.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile but not a smile: "If the prince is not a smart person, how can he be favored by the Holy One? Which smart man likes to have a smart woman by his side? It's nothing to blame!"
When Wang Xifeng said this, the maids almost laughed out, not because of anything else, but because Wang Xifeng seemed to have scolded her husband Jia Lian.
After all, Wang Xifeng is smart, and that is something that everyone in the house knows. Although many maids and servants think that Wang Xifeng is mean and cruel, they have to admit that Wang Xifeng is a master of martial arts, a hero among women. However, at the age of 20, the huge Jia family handled it properly, and no one dared to make a fuss.
In this way, Jia Lian must be a stupid man, otherwise she would not be able to tolerate a woman like Wang Xifeng.
After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, he said: "What are you looking at? The prince is coming, and he is still here, so what are you waiting for?"
The girls dispersed at once, but they were a little unwilling and wanted to take a second look at the prince.
Soon the county king was surrounded by people from Jia's family. When he came here, Wu Zhao didn't look too much. He walked among the crowd and went back to Jia's mother's courtyard.
Wu Zhao went back to Jia Mu's courtyard, and before he entered the green cupboard, he heard the sound of laughing and joking inside. He didn't need to go in to know that Jia Baoyu was here. It would be more convenient for him to enter Sister Lin's boudoir than his own bedroom.
Wu Zhao didn't go in, but stood in the outer room, and said to the old woman who was guarding the room, "From now on, if Master Bao wants to come in, you should stop him."
Those women were so frightened that they looked at each other one by one. Is there any place in this mansion that Jia Baoyu dare not enter, it is probably Jia Zheng's place. Someone stopped Jia Baoyu, if Jia Baoyu went crazy Get up, don't you want to die?
But Wu Zhao said: "Just stop it, even if it comes to my ancestors, I'm free to talk about it."
Only then did the women agree.
Wu Zhao said flatly, "Hit the curtain."
The mothers-in-law rushed to open the curtains, and Wu Zhao walked in gracefully, and took a closer look, not only Jia Baoyu, but Xue Baochai also came, and they were sitting in the room together.
Wu Zhao walked in, Jia Baoyu saw it, jumped up immediately, grabbed Wu Zhao's hand with a foolish face, Wu Zhao took an extra step without a trace, Jia Baoyu rushed over, almost fell, The maids and women around him, screaming so loudly, rushed to support Jia Baoyu one by one.
Jia Baoyu didn't touch Wu Zhao, walked back resentfully, and said, "My good sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I think about you every day, don't you think I haven't?"
Wu Zhao sat down, Zijuan came over with hot tea in a small tea tray, Wu Zhao blew on the leaves, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "Look at what you said, you were beaten by the uncle a few days ago. Beat it like that, bored in the house and recuperate in shame, and still think about this and that?"
When she said this, the girls around her burst out laughing with a "puchi". Seeing that it wasn't just the girls around Wu Zhao who were laughing, but also the girls around Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai hurriedly turned her head and stared, the little girl covered her mouth and suppressed a smile.
Jia Baoyu still wanted to refute, but Wu Zhao immediately said, "Why? No? I see, if you think about it, you're just thinking about the little nun who ran away in shame that day."
Jia Baoyu was immediately ashamed by her, and he didn't dare to talk to Wu Zhao, only Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai also wanted to ease the embarrassment, and talked about the lively events at the birthday banquet. When Jia Baoyu mentioned it, he started to make fun of himself again. Wang, who is better?"
Xue Baochai recalled the matter of the birthday banquet, and immediately thought of the king of the county. The king of the county was still staying in the mansion at this time, and he couldn't help but drift away. His mind was full of the posture and appearance of the king of the county, and he was a little ecstatic. She thought to herself that her mother had already made her uncle refuse to go, and she would definitely not be able to do it again. Xue Baochai also felt that it was right to listen to her mother, but she still felt a little sour in her heart.
When Jia Baoyu asked, Xue Baochai went into a daze and didn't answer him. Wu Zhao saw that, wasn't that the expression of his youngest daughter Huaichun?I couldn't help laughing, and said, "Sister Bao, I'm sorry to answer you, for fear of hurting your heart."
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to leave. He put down the tea tray with a clang, and the tea bowl and tea tray fell to the ground with a rumble. Jia Baoyu was so angry that he left immediately.
This suddenly woke up Xue Baochai. When Xue Baochai looked again, Jia Baoyu had already walked out. She had no idea why Jia Baoyu was angry.
Over there, Jia Baoyu's head was swollen with anger, and when he strode out, he heard the sound of "tattling" footsteps, and then someone chased him out, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but look back, it turned out to be Zicuckoo, he recognized it Yes, Zijuan has been by Wu Zhao's side.
Jia Baoyu thought about it, maybe it was Sister Lin who asked her to keep him?Jia Baoyu was still a little angry, thinking about how to embarrass Zicuckoo.
Zijuan hurried to catch up, but she said to Jia Baoyu, "Master Bao, Miss Lin said that the tea bowl and saucer were brought back from Yangzhou Lin's mansion all the way, to relieve her homesickness. Uncle Bao wants to leave after being broken like this? Lose money."
As soon as Zijuan said, Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded. He was stunned for a long time, and his face turned red. How could he have money? Then he took off all the valuables on his body, such as fans with jade pendants and so on.
When Zijuan came back, Xue Baochai had already left. Wu Zhao sat alone in the room and took away all the broken tea trays. Zijuan smiled and said about Uncle Bao's expression just now.
Wu Zhao smiled faintly, and didn't want Jia Baoyu's fan cover and jade pendant, but said, "You take it and exchange it for cash, and then distribute it to the girls and women, that's all."
When the maids and women heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. They thought that following such a girl would bring no benefits to them. They didn't realize that there would be a steady stream of benefits. The girls are generous, even more generous than the girls in the capital.
Wu Zhao drank some thin wine today, fell asleep tired, and woke up the next day after three poles. It's not that Wu Zhao likes lazy beds, it's just that her body is too weak, and she can't sleep lazy. , the body is still too soft.
Wu Zhao is not like being an empress at that time, she had to force herself in everything, now that she has changed her skin and become sister Lin, she naturally has to treat herself a little more generously, so as not to waste her new life.
Wu Zhao didn't wake up until she was full of sleep, and Zijuan Xueyan was washing her face. Jia Baoyu was angry and couldn't hold back her face, so she didn't bother her today.
After Wu Zhao got up, he heard the commotion outside, because he asked, "What's going on outside?"
Zijuan rushed in quickly and said, "Girl, it's a big deal! Someone is coming from the palace, and the sage told the master to come to the palace to meet him!"
When Wu Zhao heard this, the people around him were frightened, and they didn't know what was going on. After all, Jia Zheng was a fifth-rank official, and he didn't have much chance to see the Holy Majesty on weekdays. , but the Tu Emperor is the Tu Emperor after all, and now he wants to see the real emperor, he is so scared that he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Mother Jia brought some female relatives, and hurried out to see. Wu Zhao naturally knew whether it was a blessing or a disaster. It must be the matter of the emperor conferring Yuanchun, and the matter of Yuanchun visiting relatives. But the Jia family is so profligate, disaster is not far away.
Jia's mother came out with a group of female relatives, Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty had already hurried out of the mansion, ready to enter the palace.
Wu Zhao saw that the king of Beijing hadn't left yet, and the king was talking to Jia Zhen at this moment, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, as far as Xiao Wang knows, it's a big happy event. As for what kind of happy event, Xiao The king is about to sell it."
When Jia Zhen heard this, she felt a little relieved, but still worried.
After Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty left, it was time for the Prince of Beijing to go back, and everyone rushed to send money to the King, opened the middle door, and sent the King out of the mansion.
The king of the county didn't come in a sedan chair, but just rode a horse, and a follower led the horse. The tall black horse, against the king's silver-white robe today, was indescribably handsome, and his figure became more and more tall and straight grow up.
The king of the county raised his robe with a "crash", quickly got on the horse's back, stretched out his hand to hold the rein, and everyone rushed to see each other off. Because Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty were not there, it was Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu who saw him off at the very end.
At this time, the county king suddenly said: "I almost forgot..."
As he spoke, his eyes scanned the crowd, as if looking for them, and then his eyes were gentle and smiling, and he fixed his eyes on Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao felt that he became the focus in an instant, not only the eyes of the county king, but also the eyes of other people were all focused on him. Although Wu Zhao was used to this kind of attention, he suddenly came out like this.
Wu Zhao always felt that... the county king seemed uneasy and kind.
Sure enough, the county king said with a slight smile: "I almost forgot, Miss Lin, the intention to go to Yangzhou to inform your father to return to Beijing to take up his post is already on the way."
When Wu Zhao heard this, he immediately had a headache. Before the funeral, the county king had already said it in front of everyone. Just a few days ago, he seemed to have forgotten it now, and mentioned it again. It was before everyone.
Where is the county king forgotten?The county king's memory is good, Wu Zhao is very clear, he is afraid that the county king wants to find "evil faults" on him, and he has not given up his previous thoughts, and wants to confirm the rumors.
After the county king finished speaking, Shi Shiran urged his horse to leave without waiting for Wu Zhao to reply.
Everyone knelt down to see them off, and after waiting for a long time, Wu Zhao heard someone from the girls behind him say in a very small voice: "Look, it's Sister Lin who compares to Sister Bao."
The king of Beijing County said nothing, leaving only a distant and unrestrained back, but it gave people infinite aftertaste and reverie...
The eyes of the people looking at Wu Zhao became more and more different. Wu Zhao suddenly had a headache, and the chattering voices around him became louder and louder. Many people started to murmur, not knowing what they were talking about.
However, because the gentlemen entered the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, this matter was quickly exposed. The old lady ordered Lai Da, the general manager of the Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Da, the general manager of the Ningguo Mansion, to come and go, flying horses back and forth to visit, After searching for a long time, I finally got the news. It turned out that it was really the same as what the King of Beijing said, and it was a happy event!
It was originally Yuan Chun, the eldest daughter of the Jia family, who was conferred the title of Minister of Fengzao Palace and concubine Xiande. As a result, everyone was delighted when they heard it, their brows were beaming with joy, and the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears.
Mrs. Jia Mu Xing, Mrs. Wang, etc. put on their makeup one by one, took a sedan chair, and went into the palace to thank the emperor. It was a busy day, so lively.
But Wu Zhao is an idler, and other people are busy with their feet, but Wu Zhao becomes more and more leisurely, counting the time, planning to call Jia Yun over, and let him search for the mansion for himself, so that he can wait for Lin Ruhai to enter the capital. live.
But now in the capital, there is no shortage of high-ranking officials. A high-ranking official has several mansions. Let's talk about Jia's mansion. I wish everyone had a private mansion. Why?Auntie!
Therefore, the land is very tight, and a decent mansion can't be found for a while. Moreover, Wu Zhao's silver has not yet been paid. If he only relies on the 3000 taels on hand and Jia Yun's filial piety to buy a decent mansion , that is absolutely not enough.
Lin Ruhai loves Lin Daiyu so much, Wu Zhao doesn't want Lin Ruhai to suffer any grievances, the mansion must not be shabby.
Jia Yun was also in trouble for a while, and said: "This... my nephew has to look for it again. Fortunately, the elder will not come to Beijing tomorrow, and there is still some time."
Wu Zhao nodded, and Jia Yun said again, "It's just...the money..."
Wu Zhao knew that Jia Yun wanted to tell herself that 3000 taels was not enough. Although 3000 taels was already an astronomical figure for ordinary people in that era, it was far from enough for such a big family.
Wu Zhao said, "I've made my own fortune, you just have to look for it."
Jia Yun quickly said yes, Mrs. Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, who happened to be busy for a day, came back. Although Jia Yun is a junior, but something like Qin Keqing happened, so it was inconvenient to stay in Jia Mu's courtyard, so she prepared Goodbye.
Not long after Jia Yun left, Mother Jia came back. The group was chatting and laughing, and they were very happy. After all, the big girl Yuanchun is different now. The family is in the court, but relying on the hereditary title, and the support of Mrs. Wang's brother, but now it is better, and there is a concubine.
Everyone was chatting and laughing. Before Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty came back, someone came to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng over there, saying that Master Zhen from the East Mansion asked them to come here to discuss with the second master Lian about the family.
When it was sealed in Yuanchun, the family-senting will be in the next year, so the family-senting house must be settled immediately and start construction quickly.
When Jia Lian heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. After all, there is Uncle Jia Zhen in the East Mansion, and Uncle Jia Zhen is the patriarch, so he must come to this matter, but in the West Mansion, Jia She always doesn't care about anything. After all, Mother Jia doesn't like to see him. As the boss of the West Mansion, but lives in a remote corner, one can imagine his status.
And what about Jia Zheng?He has always been a "leisurely cloud and wild crane" and decent person, so he doesn't like to take care of these things, and he must "leave" these things to the younger generation. In addition, Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's nephew and daughter. The child must have fallen on Jia Lian's head, and he did not run away.
After all, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, etc., in Jia Lian's generation, apart from him, were "still children" in Jia's mother's eyes, so they couldn't be the leading role.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian wished his face would fly, it really gave him face, and after he said it, he would be the uncle of the country, how could he not have face?
Besides, the matter of managing the provincial hospital is a lucrative job. Wang Xifeng usually takes care of him, but now if he gets such a good job, even if he takes care of him, he can spend money everywhere.
Wu Zhao looked at Jia Lian happily, and didn't know that he was "imminent in disaster", so he followed the people in the East Mansion and swaggered away.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were also afraid that Jia Lian would be bad, so she asked Wang Xifeng to go with her. Wang Xifeng was naturally happy, but in fact, she had already been itchy. Now that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing had spoken, Wang Xifeng immediately said: "Okay! It has to be me, you Look, look, you can't do without me over there, I'll go right away, just don't let him fool around."
As Wang Xifeng said, she straightened her waist and went away in high spirits.
Wu Zhao just sat on the side, not in a hurry, smiled slightly, picked up the tea and took a sip.
On such a day, until dusk, the men over there can be considered to have negotiated a consistent matter, and the plan for the provincial court has been settled, so naturally they set aside a piece of land in the two prefectures, and they will not be allowed to go to other places. The drawings are already being drawn, and the division of labor is also clear.
Sure enough, Master Zhen from the East Mansion was sitting on the flag, while Jia Zheng in the West Mansion didn't care about it, and Jia Amnesty couldn't care about it, so it fell on Jia Lian's head.
As soon as Wu Zhao heard about it, he immediately laughed and fell on Jia Lian's head, so he was not afraid.
Because of the seal of Yuanchun and the approaching of the New Year, the meeting is over. Jia's mansion is very lively, celebrating almost all night. The next day near noon, Jia Lian got up over there, and Wang Xifeng came over to say hello to the ancestors.
Wu Zhao heard that Jia Lian was coming, so he tidied up and was going to meet the second master who sat on the flag in Xifu for a while.
When Wu Zhao came out, Jia Lian and Mrs. Wang were greeting the old lady. The old lady was in a good mood and was happy to see everyone. She pulled Wang Xifeng long and short, and talked about housework.
Wang Xifeng said: "Hey, if you want me to tell you, old ancestor, don't bother with these trivial matters, and think about your happiness at ease. Now that the eldest girl has just been sealed, you can worry about this, worry about that, change tomorrow, the emperor will be alone." Huanxin, make our eldest girl the queen, you say old lady, what are you going to do?"
When Wang Xifeng said this, her mouth was like a honeypot, coaxing the old lady to laugh out loud, and she didn't care about the manners, she was very happy, and said: "You are the only one who can say that in the whole house, don't say that , if someone hears it, what is it? They think we are boasting!"
Bian'er Wu Zhao listened silently, thinking that she still wanted to be a queen, and being a concubine was already a grace.
Seeing Wu Zhao come out, Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, but he was no longer happy. He was afraid that Wu Zhao would expose his shortcomings, and he was panicked.
However, Wu Zhao smiled at him and greeted Second Master Lian.
Jia Lian hurriedly returned the salute to Wu Zhao, stuttering, and said, "Sister, sister, don't be so restrained!"
Wang Xifeng coaxed the old lady, and when she looked back, she saw Jia Lian stuttering at Wu Zhao, she immediately misunderstood, pinched Jia Lian secretly, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Your sister Lin can also think about it." ? Still stuttering?"
Jia Lian was wronged, wronged to death, not long ago, he made up his mind, but now he has no such intention at all, because he dare not, even if he is given 250 guts, he will never dare!
Wang Xifeng coaxed the old lady, but Jia Lian didn't dare to sit or stand, so she bowed and said, "Lian'er still has business to visit her relatives, so I will retire first."
When Jia Mu heard this, she said: "Yes, you are busy, go ahead, leaving this careless and pungent household is enough to annoy me!"
When Jia's mother said so, she still loved to see Wang Xifeng very much, and she pulled Wang Xifeng to say that the housework was reasonable, and Jia Lian agreed a series of promises, and ran away.
As soon as Jia Lian escaped, Wu Zhao found an excuse and left too. Jia Lian thought he had escaped from the tiger's mouth, but he smiled slightly and said, "Second Master Lian, where are you going in such a hurry?"
When Jia Lian heard this, she was bluffing and didn't want to stop, so she said with a dry smile, "Sister Lin? I'm busy, so I'll go first."
Wu Zhao smiled and said, "What are you busy with? Even if you are busy, you should pay off the debt first?"
Cold sweat dripped down Jia Lian's head in an instant, and he looked at Wu Zhao dripping with sweat, but seeing that there was no such fearful Jiao Da around Wu Zhao, so he got a little bit more confidence, and straightened his back.
Seeing the change in his expression, Wu Zhao smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong? Second Master Lian forgot about this debt?"
As she spoke, she shook her white and tender hand, "Wow!", and with a sound, the note spread out, was blown by the wind, and floated in front of Jia Lian's eyes.
Jia Lian was so frightened that he wanted to snatch it. How could Wu Zhao make him happy? He said, "Second Master Lian is sitting in the mansion now. I'm afraid he's a busy person, and the nobles forget things too much. Give my sister this small, silent money. forget."
Afraid that she would speak too loudly, Jia Lian said, "This...how can I forget this?"
Wu Zhao said bluntly, "When will the remaining 7000 taels be paid back?"
Jia Lian said in a cold sweat, "This... this..."
Wu Zhao smiled faintly, and said, "Well, I know that Second Master Lian's life is not easy. Others only know that Second Master Lian likes to eat money, and he has to reach out to fish for the money in the oil pan, but they don't know that Second Master Lian If Grandpa doesn’t have this frying pan at home, why is it so loud?”
When Jia Lian heard it, Wu Zhao's analogy was too good, and Wang Xifeng was the frying pan!
But Wu Zhao suddenly said good things to Jia Lian, and Jia Lian's heart trembled, he didn't know what was going on.
Then Wu Zhao changed the subject and said: "Since there is no money, then we can pay it in another way, that's all... For example, if the second master Lian left the matter of sitting on the scorpion to others, wouldn't that be enough? "
Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, and sat down on the flag. Isn't that just a matter of the provincial hospital?This is a fat difference, let alone 10 taels, it is too small to say, how much money can be made from it, and Jia Lian will never be reconciled to letting others do it like this!
Jia Lian said with a dry smile: "This matter, other people will definitely not do it. Before my sister, you managed the Ningguo Mansion, that is... that is, the funeral. It was all the middle class of the daughter's family. Now it is our man's business. , sister, don't worry about it."
Wu Zhao smiled, and asked back, "Who told you to let your second master Lian give it to me?"
Jia Lian nahan said: "Is that...?"
Wu Zhao said flatly, "It's for your nephew, Jia Yun."
Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat all of a sudden, and said, "Jia, Jia Yun?!"
Wu Zhao said with a smile, "It's okay."
Jia Lian didn't want to let it go, Wu Zhao didn't give him this opportunity, and said directly aggressively: "It's a matter of course to pay back the debt. Either the second master Lian will take out 7000 taels now, or the second master Lian will bother him. Let go of the troublesome work, or..."
Wu Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, showing the shy look of a little girl. Jia Lian saw that she was indeed beautiful, but her heart trembled and she panicked with fright.
I heard Wu Zhao continue to say: "Either, let's go to the old lady to comment on this reason, and take out the handwriting signed by Lian Erye himself, and let the big guys see how vicious Lian Erye is. people."
Jia Lian was so frightened that he died. Ordinarily, if he just wanted to pay back the money, he would just beg Wang Xifeng. Doesn't everyone push the wall down?Which one in Jia's mansion is the most worry-free?
Jia Lian muttered, not daring to make a sound, Wu Zhao didn't have time to spare, and pretended to leave, Jia Lian immediately said, "Okay! Okay! I'll let... I'll let it go, but I'll let it go, let's write it off! "
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhao smiled and said, "It's only [-] to [-] yuan."
Jia Lian's eyes widened and he said, "[-] to [-]?!"
Isn't there still [-] to [-] left? !
Jia Lian couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "You...don't be too greedy! You know that old saying, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant like a snake!"
Wu Zhao was calm and said, "My sister is thin-skinned, not like the second master Lian, who is in charge of other courtyards and can covet hundreds of thousands of free cash. If it doesn't work, let's go to the old lady to save worry."
Jia Lian was trembling all over, his face was flushed, and he was beating all the time, but Wu Zhao was calm and relaxed. Seeing his expression of being unable to get angry, it was really pleasing to him. After all, she had seen this appearance a lot, and she remembered that she did it back then. When she was the queen, many veterans of Li and Tang thought that she was not going well, but they never dared to act out. That feeling of applauding the world, knowing that the other party disobeyed you and not angry with you, but they had to submit and obey the arrangement, was Wu Zhao's last. like.
Simply put, it is the desire to control.
Jia Lian's chest was about to explode with anger, and said, "Okay! Okay! That's it!"
Wu Zhao smiled and said, "It's not satisfactory."
Jia Lian still struggled a bit, and said: "Although we have made a verbal agreement, I am afraid that if I raise it suddenly, everyone will have doubts."
Wu Zhao didn't take it seriously, smiled lightly, and said very firmly: "I don't need to bother Lian Erye, as long as you do as I say..."
Jia Lian was supposed to be sitting in the West Mansion, but within two days, Jia Lian suddenly fell ill, and the doctor couldn't figure out why. Will have a headache.
Because of Jia Lian's illness, the affairs of the provincial hospital in the West Mansion were messed up. Jia Zheng and Jia She came to visit Jia Lian in person. They even brought Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, etc., to visit Jia Lian. .
Wu Zhao was also among the crowd, looking like Jia Lian would die tomorrow.
Even Jia Yun came over, the house was "hustle and bustle", Jia Lian was sick in bed, and took a hard look at Jia Yun.
Jia Yun came to visit out of good intentions, but she was stared at inexplicably, and she didn't know what it meant, and her eyes were ruthless, which is called a deep hatred.
Jia Yun was puzzled, thinking about it, it was Jia Zheng's birthday that day, they had some intersection, and they hadn't seen each other since, so they wouldn't stare like this.
Just as Jia Yun was thinking about it, she heard Jia Zhen say, "If you are sick, how about the West Mansion? Who will take care of it? We'll have to visit the site tomorrow and start construction another day. Time won't wait for anyone."
Although the east and west mansions are both Jia's mansion, the Rongguo mansion and Ningguo mansion are also fighting openly and secretly. Several forces are united. Although the old lady lives in Rongguo mansion to the west, the patriarch Jia Zhen is from Ningguo mansion to the east On weekdays, the two prefectures live in peace and harmony, and Jia Zhen also wants to dominate when such a thing happens.
Jia Zheng didn't like to manage vulgar things. Jia Amnesty knew he couldn't manage them, and his words were not as powerful as Jia Zhen's junior. On the other hand, Wang Xifeng knew in her heart that Jia Zhen wanted to reach out to them, and Wang Xifeng just wanted to recommend herself to replace her husband. Location.
In the end, I heard Jia Lian talk, and without giving her such a chance, she said: "Although I am sick, I have a confidant, who is the most successful on weekdays. He is also a direct descendant of our Jia family. For the serious Jia family, Uncle Zhen attended the funeral a few days ago, and he helped take care of it, even though he is a junior, it is rare that he trained early."
At first everyone thought that Jia Lian was going to recommend Wu Zhao, but then they thought it was wrong. Sister Lin was not a direct descendant of the Jia family, but a side branch. Later, they gradually understood, but they couldn't believe it, it was Jia Yun!
Jia Yun was also dumbfounded. Second Master Lian was glaring at her just now, but now she recommended her. What a big deal?
Jia Yun thought about it carefully, yes, it must be Miss Lin's actions!
At that time, at Jia Zheng's birthday banquet, he heard Wu Zhao say that he had given him a certain errand, and he thought it was just a not-so-big errand, but he didn't know that it turned out to be such an earth-shattering errand, and he was still sitting in the Xifu!
Jia Yun was shocked, and looked at Wu Zhao in surprise, but Wu Zhao was indifferent.
Not only Jia Yun was surprised, but everyone else was also surprised. Wang Xifeng was the most surprised. Jia Lian had such a good deed, and even pushed it to a poor boy from the Jia family.
Wu Zhao gave Jia Yun a look. Jia Yun was a smart person, and immediately stepped forward and said sincerely, "Although Yun'er is not talented and is a junior, she is willing to learn and has a lot of energy. Uncles are working hard, if there is any work, just leave it to Yun'er."
Jia Lian recommended it in this way, but Jia Amnesty has no objection, anyway, if he is not sitting on the bench by himself, who is different?
As for Jia Zheng, he thought in his heart that he was an elder and couldn't take care of it. Let the children take care of it. Jia Zheng just took care of the acceptance. If Jia Zhen in the East Mansion were to take care of it all by himself, it would be a loss of face for the West Mansion. Well, Jia Yun is not considered to be from the East Mansion, just passable, and not very out of the ordinary.
The old lady Mrs. Wang also thought so in her heart, Jia Yun is not from the Ningguo Mansion, so the two disadvantages are the lesser, and Jia Yun can be regarded as a good one.
Everyone thought about it secretly, drew a little way, and decided on it.
Jia Yun didn't realize it, but it did, and she became a person sitting on a tummy. Excited, Jia Yun, who is so smart and extremely smart, was almost overjoyed, and quickly lowered his head, pretending to be responsible, and thanked them one by one.
Over there, Jia Lian personally promoted Jia Yun, regretting so much that his intestines were green, and it wasn't that the 7000 taels were offset, but only 10,000 or [-], which seemed to be gouging out Jia Lian's intestines. There must be a total of [-]+ taels!
Jia Yun was happy, but Jia Zhen was not happy on the other side. It was a good opportunity to be disturbed like this, and she was still a direct descendant. What kind of direct descendant is Jia Yun?
Standing behind Jia Zhen are two sons who also came to visit. The eldest son is Qin Keqing's husband, Jia Rong. , Jia Zhen dotes on him very much, the family treats him as a real brother, not only that, Jia Rong also dotes on this younger brother, the two are very close.
Jia Zhen had no choice but to let Jia Qiang set up her own family and not live in Ningguo Mansion because she was so close that there were many rumors. Just like this, Jia Qiang's status could not be shaken.
Jia Qiang is so comfortable, the main reason is
