Although Lin Ruhai has returned to Yangzhou, Wu Zhao has no time to spare. After all, he has to buy everything. Counting the years, he will leave Jia's mansion soon. As a result, many places need money.

For example, when Lin Ruhai took office, he had to hold a housewarming wedding banquet. If you were too simple and didn't entertain, others would not know that you were an upright official, and they would think you looked down on your colleagues.

I have to bring all the maids, women, and doormen from Yangzhou. The cost of food and clothing must be calculated, and so on.

Wu Zhao is not free these days, and even found Wang Xifeng unlucky twice. Even if she wants to be greedy, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't be greedy, one greed is thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels, you know, a few thousand taels is a huge sum of money for a lifetime in an ordinary family, and Wang Xifeng doesn't care about anything, just greedy, making a big hole in the book , or just write to borrow it, for fear that others will not know that she is greedy.

For the greed of money, many people were killed.

If it falls into Wu Zhao's hands, won't it be bad luck for her?

Today, Wu Zhao was sitting in Baosha, looking at the accounts. Jia Yun came over to talk about Jia Rong going to Gusu to buy girls. After these girls brought back, they needed to be arranged. I have come to ask Wu Zhao for instructions, where is the best place to be placed.

Wu Zhao looked at the roster and allocated a piece of land for Jia Yun, but he didn't make a decision right away, so he said, "Take it and ask the masters for instructions. After the masters ask for instructions, then go to the east to ask Master Zhen for instructions."

Jia Yun immediately said: "Yes, Yun'er knows."

While talking here, he suddenly heard the sound of laughing and joking, it turned out that someone came over, not someone else, it was Jia Baoyu and his party.

Jia Baoyu is free today, and he doesn't forget to eat but not to beat. He was whipped several times by Jia Zheng a while ago, his face was swollen like something, but now he's much better, so he forgot about the pain and continued to talk to him. The sisters and sisters were laughing and joking.

Jia Baoyu walked in the crowd, like the stars holding the moon, the sisters and maids were all surrounded and came this way.

When Wu Zhao heard this, he immediately frowned, not knowing what Jia Baoyu was doing again.

A few people over there walked in quickly, and sure enough, they entered Baoxia. Jia Baoyu came to play with sister Lin today. Because the weather was good, he and Xue Baochai and other sisters were joking, so they talked about Lin. younger sister.

Sister Lin is a busy person now, and she hasn't seen each other for a few days. Shi Xiangyun has no grudges, so he said that he sees Sister Lin every day, and also talked about the prince and grandson Wei Ruolan.

When Jia Baoyu heard it, well, there was the King of Beijing in the past, and then there was Jia Yun, and now the prince and grandson have come out, and he is the only one who can't see Sister Lin all day long.

As soon as Jia Baoyu entered Baoxia, he saw Jia Yun who was replying, and immediately lowered his face, very unhappy.

Jia Yun was still greeting Uncle Bao, when she saw Jia Baoyu give her a sideways look.A cold snort came out of his nose, and there was no more, as if he was a piece of air.

Jia Yun laughed dryly, but several sisters next to her had never seen Jia Yun before. They saw Jia Yun's handsome appearance, so they said something twice.

Jia Yun is a junior, and she greets everyone one by one, speaking politely, which makes the sisters lean forward and back together.

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "This brother Yun, I can compare you!"

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was even more unhappy, comparing himself?I thought that what Sister Feng said was right, although I couldn't compare to the King of Beijing County, how could I not be compared to someone like Jia Yun?

Xue Baochai on the other side saw that Jia Baoyu's face was not good-looking, and immediately said: "What are you talking about, this is comparable? Brother Yun is respectful, brother Bao is free and easy, I think our Baoyu is very good."

When she said this, many sisters laughed at Xue Baochai and said, "Oh, you haven't entered the house yet, so you just maintained it like this. If you enter the house, we have to greet the mistress?"

When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't help but blushed and smiled, but Jia Baoyu was unhappy.

At this time, someone came in a hurry, it was the manager Lai Da, but the manager didn't hold the right sign in his hand, he didn't talk back and forth, and he didn't have any accounts. Here is a rare visitor, sir please go over!"

Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, because what Lai Da said was very strange.

Both Jia Yun and Xue Baochai were smart enough to hear some clues, but the others didn't, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin is a busy person, and it's time to be busy now, let's go elsewhere." stop?"

But Wu Zhao said, "What kind of rare visitor is here?"

Just now Lai Da said that a rare visitor came, and the gentlemen told him to come over, which meant that the gentlemen were accompanying this rare visitor, and that rare visitor must be a man, otherwise, it would not be the gentlemen who were accompanying him, and his status was not low.

When Wu Zhao thought about it, the first thing he thought of was the king of the county, but then he thought otherwise. If the king of the county came, he would not be so rude, so he asked himself to go out and accompany the guests in front of the elders.

Sure enough, Lai Da hesitated and said, "This...is...it's the Minister in charge of the palace...Master Dai Quan."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, Xue Baochai said, "Is it true? Did you hear me right?"

Lai Da said: "Miss Xue, how could I have heard it wrong, absolutely right, it is Master Dai Quan."

It sounds good to be in charge of the palace, isn't it actually a rich and powerful eunuch, now Dai Quan has come to Rongguo Mansion, and even asked Wu Zhao to go there by name, and the appointment is nothing good.

Jia Baoyu didn't know, so he went in and said, "The inner minister asked Sister Lin to go out, what are you doing?"

Lai Da couldn't say it, he just said: "This villain doesn't know either."

The other people on the other side understood somewhat. Jia Yun frowned, thinking about it and didn't speak immediately, while Shi Xiangyun spoke quickly and said, "I heard from Brother Ai that this Dai Quan is not a good person. Sister Lin, don't go, specify Nothing good!"

When she said this, Xue Baochai, who was next to her, quickly covered her mouth and said, "Shhh, you must never say that. We used to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and we all heard about this inner minister, but he is not to be underestimated. Now that the Inner Prime Minister is here and wants to invite Sister Lin by name, I'm afraid there is something important, why not..."

She said, looked at Wu Zhao, and said, "It's better to deal with it, sister Lin, at least walk around, this person, Neixiang, is really not easy to offend."

Hearing what she said, Wu Zhao couldn't help but sneered for a while. Xue Baochai was afraid of offending others, so he persuaded himself to go out.

Jia Yun wanted to stop it, but Wu Zhao had already stood up, threw the account on the table, made a "pop", sneered again, and said, "I'll see what's the matter."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked out. Jia Yun on the other side also wanted to keep up, but she was not ready enough. Seeing that Jia Yun was about to leave, Jia Baoyu immediately walked over, squeezed Jia Yun, and followed him out.

Wu Zhao was magnanimous, surrounded by maids and women, and went directly to Rongxi Hall.

Because important guests came to the mansion today, the Rongxi Hall was open. Jia Zheng and Jia She, together with some younger generations of the Jia family, even Jia Zhen from the East Mansion came over and sat together, please. Mr. Dai Quan took the seat.

Dai Quan was about 50 years old, had gray hair, walked like a hunchback, leaned on a cane, was dressed luxuriously, and sat at the top of his hand. Jia Zheng made the best tea and served him with tea fruit.

Dai Quan was sitting when he heard someone announce that Miss Lin came in.

When Dai Quan heard this, he quickly stood up, and sure enough, he saw a shadow outside the door, because it was winter, and thick curtains were hung to keep out the wind, only the shadow could be seen through the cracks, and then he said, "Wow!" With a sound, Zijuan opened the curtain, and a young girl entered in front of her.

Dai Quan took a look, and immediately apologized up and down. His attitude was very presumptuous, as if he was looking at some goods.

Jia Zheng seemed to think something was wrong, but just as he was about to speak, Jia Zhen held him down, telling him to stay calm.

Jia Baoyu also came in from behind, but the other sisters didn't dare to come in, and Jia Yun couldn't come in because she didn't have enough first class, but she didn't go away, hiding aside and listening to the movement inside.

When Wu Zhao walked in, Dai Quan just forgave him, but Wu Zhao was very calm and greeted everyone. Dai Quan said, "You are Lin Daiyu?"

Wu Zhao seemed respectful and said, "Yes."

Dai Quan apologized again and said, "Well, well, this looks really tidy. I heard...you can still be a housekeeper?"

Wu Zhao said indifferently: "The housekeeper doesn't care about the house. It's just trivial things that the wives don't do. Leave it to me. The serious ones are still taken care of by the wives."

Dai Quan's eyes were very presumptuous, and he stared hard at Wu Zhao again, then laughed, and said to Jia Zheng, "It's really good."

There was a joke in those words, but I don't know what they meant.

Jia Zheng laughed dryly and didn't answer, but Jia Zhen flattered him.

Dai Quan picked up the tea bowl and continued to drink tea, but he still looked at Wu Zhao. Jia Baoyu didn't know what Dai Quan meant, but instead smiled and said, "Neixiang, my sister is top-notch!"

Jia Baoyu went in without knowing it, with a silly look, and was also abandoned by his family. At this time, Dai Quan was obviously here to see Sister Lin, but Jia Baoyu was eager to show off his sister in front of others, and said that Sister Lin was a top-notch girl. Yes, this sister Lin who dares to love has really become a commodity, which makes people look left and right, and even criticize her.

In Jia Zheng's hall, Jia Baoyu was almost pissed off, and he gave Jia Baoyu a look. Jia Baoyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to stand aside with his head bowed.

Dai Quan asked a few more words, and said, "How old are you? Who else is there in the family? Have you ever read? Can you read or write? Is there nothing wrong with you?"

It seemed that he really regarded Wu Zhao as something to look at, he could look at it if he wanted to, and ask him if he wanted to.

Wu Zhao is gentle on the surface, but cold in his heart, and has already made calculations.It's just that it's not easy for Wu Zhao to confront him on the surface at the moment. After all, this is the Jia family, and Wu Zhao also knows the nature of the Jia family. He was so obedient, if Wu Zhao had some objection on the surface, maybe the Jia family would ask him to make amends instead.

The sisters were all outside, and each of them could hear the clue, frowning, especially Shi Xiangyun, who was so angry that he said, "What does Dai Quan want to do?"

Xue Baochai hurriedly stopped Shi Xiangyun from speaking, and said, "Keep your voice down! That inner appearance is too strong, be careful that you will cause trouble for nothing!"

They chatted inside for a while, and finally broke up. Dai Quan wanted to touch Wu Zhao's hand when he was leaving. Than react?

Dai Quan didn't touch Wu Zhao's hand, but his crutch was bumped. One of them became unsteady and almost fell on the back of the chair. The crowd shouted loudly and rushed over to help Dai Quan.

Dai Quan was also in a cold sweat from fright, and stood up with the chair on his shoulders. Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen and his group asked in succession, "Have you knocked on it?! Didn't it break?!"

When Dai Quan raised his head again, sister Lin had already left and disappeared, and there was no one to be found.

Wu Zhao came out from the inside and left the Rongxi Hall. The sisters hurried up to greet her. Everyone was always stubborn in the same place. They all thought that Sister Lin was a good person, and she was not mean at ordinary times. Whatever good things she got, she would give them to everyone. It was really nothing to worry about. Seriously, who would want to put up such a thing now?

Shi Xiangyun said, "Then what does Dai Quan mean?"

Everyone stopped talking, but they felt somewhat settled, fearing that Dai Quan came to Jia's mansion, seeing that Sister Lin was here.

But Dai Quan is a eunuch, a eunuch, and he came to see Sister Lin, how absurd it is.

Everyone talked for a while, and finally broke up.

After everyone dispersed, Jia Yun came over and said in a low voice: "Miss Lin, what do you think? Then Dai Quan is too shameful. Yun'er heard that even though he is a eunuch, but the head of his family I don't know how many concubines and housekeepers there are, and they go to snatch some beautiful daughters. Who in the capital doesn't know Dai Quan's face? It's just that Dai Quan is too powerful, and no one dares to report him. It won't work if you report him, no one can bring him down!"

Wu Zhao listened, and squinted his eyes. The last time the King of Beijing County went to Yangzhou, he was looking for evidence of Dai Quan's crime. Later, Lin Ruhai's uncle was arrested, and Dai Quan only survived for a few days, so there was nothing more to say. Not implicated.

Recently, the King of Beijing County accompanied Shengshang to go hunting. He was indeed injured, but it was not a fatal injury. It was on his arm. Dai Quan did it, and it was blatant, and he was not afraid of being known. Thinking about it this way, Dai Quan did have real power in his hands, and even the King of Beijing didn't take it seriously.

Now Dai Quan suddenly came to see Wu Zhao, and he was so presumptuous that everyone dared not speak out.

Jia Yun said, "Girl, what should I do about this matter? Can Yun'er help?"

Wu Zhao squinted, as if thinking about something, and said lightly, "Don't meddle in this matter, you can't control it."

When Jia Yun heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. After all, although he has gained fame these days and took care of things in the Rongguo Mansion, to be honest, he is not an official, so naturally he can't control an inner minister like Dai Quan.

Wu Zhao smiled coolly, and the corners of his mouth curled up, looking quite confident, and said, "I have my own way...you just go and do something for me."

When Jia Yun heard that she was useful, she immediately said, "What's the matter? The girl ordered."

Wu Zhao said quietly: "You just said that Dai Quanqiang robbed many daughters to be concubines..."
