Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

One thing Jia Qi expected.

War is the easiest thing to degenerate into a devil. No matter how benevolent and kind a woman is, after suffering the trauma of war, she may become a hard-hearted revenge devil.

Those Mongolians burned, killed and looted all the way to the capital. On the way from Datong to the capital, as long as the cities and villages in front of them became their hunting grounds, the people in these places became their prey. .

In their wild and wanton laughter, men were killed by them, babies were carried through the streets on the points of spears, old people were hanged from trees, or burned alive with their houses, women became their spoils.During this process, as long as someone dares to resist, they will tie their hands and drag them behind the horse. They are riding the horse and galloping, and the person who is dragged behind the horse will often be dragged to death alive. They couldn't even find the bones, only the blood foam along the way.

The triumphant laughter of the Mongols became a nightmare for the people of the Han family, and also aroused the deep hatred in the hearts of the women.

Because of these executioners, they lost their parents, their husbands, their brothers, and their children.

They are alone and helpless, what else can they not lose?

After going through the iron hooves of the Mongols, some women lost their last courage, and some women became demons bent on revenge.They have no future in their hearts, and just want to drag the enemy to die.

They brought fresh human acne scabs into the Mongolian camps, and then a large-scale smallpox outbreak broke out among the Mongolians.

Not only the Mongols have no resistance to smallpox, even the female straight.

The large-scale smallpox made the Mongols and women confused. Even if they killed all the captured women, they could not stop the spread of smallpox.

The population of Mongolia and women's straight is not large, and it is Mongolia and women's straight who can gather an army of 20. Now, their army is infected with smallpox!

Although a small number escaped in time, there are still more than 15 Mongolian and female straight people who stayed in the Central Plains, and these people, there is no doubt that those who can die of smallpox are definitely lucky, and those who are unlucky are Encountered a counterattack by the Han people.

Female straights are better, because many of their women and children are in the rear, but the Mongols act together as a tribe, and even women and children will go to the battlefield.Therefore, when they were weak and unable to move because of the raging smallpox, they became the ghosts of the hoes and kitchen knives of the Han people. Even because women and children died together in the Central Plains, it is estimated that within 50 years the grasslands will be difficult to recover. vitality.

Jia Qi had predicted that the Han woman who lost her family would become a vengeful black widow.The Mongols threw the smallpox-infected corpse into the capital, which Jia Qi should have expected but didn't think of in time.

No, it shouldn't be said that he didn't think of it in time, but that he deliberately ignored it.

That is to say, after the Mongols and female straights disappeared from the North China Plain, the capital would no longer suffer from smallpox.

This is what Jia Qi should have expected, but he didn't.

The last one is that Jia Qi has been guarding against it, and it finally became true:

With the fall of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, the Central Plains finally lost control.The edict of the capital to allow all armies to enter Jingqin King became the first of the warlords' separatism, and the Jinling warlords headed by the Zhen family did not immediately go north to King Qin, but chose to go south to encircle the capital of Shanghai.

They wanted to capture Jia Qi alive.

While the Westerners took advantage of the gap, Granger and others rushed in front of Jia Qi, expressing their willingness to help, and said to Jia Qi: "My lord, please forgive our offense. It's safe. We advise you to come with us, our ship is fast..."

These Westerners sincerely invited Jia Qi to go with them, but what Jia Qi thought of was the Inca king who was kidnapped and blackmailed and finally brutally killed.

It's a pity that the base camp of these Westerners is not nearby, and Jia Qi still doesn't have the ability to do anything to these Westerners.

Jia Qi said: "My friends, I am very grateful for your kindness, but unfortunately, I cannot leave."

"grown ups……"

"Listen to me, my friends, my country will be in turmoil because a terrible disease has struck my country. This disease is like your Black Death in the West. It broke out very fast and there is no medicine. It can be cured. It is a disease with a very high mortality rate, which is raging almost every 20 years. To make matters worse, this time, the disease hit the capital of our country. My friends, I appreciate your kindness , But, you guys go now. If you don’t go, you are likely to become the prey of the disease.”

Hearing that it was a disease comparable to the Black Death, these Westerners were stunned, and several of them couldn't help but cross themselves on their chests.

One of the captains named Yokum said: "If this is the case, my lord, you can't stay in such a dangerous place."

Jia Qi shook his head, and said: "Children are more likely to survive this kind of disease, and after being born once, they will not have a second one. I was very lucky. I was infected once when I was young, and it was only on my body. It leaves a scar. But, I know, you don't have this disease in the West. Go, if you don't go now, you probably won't."

These Westerners immediately panicked.

A few of them whispered to each other, seeming a little undecided.

The person in front of him is a high-ranking official in the East, and he is also a rich man. If he is deceived by this person, they will get rich.

At this time, the guards outside hurried over: "Report, my lord, there is still a smallpox on the other side."

"What? What about Shanghai Prefecture? How about Shanghai Prefecture?"

The guard said: "My lord, please don't worry, you asked us to distribute medicines to the common people according to Fangjie, even babies were not spared, although there were a hundred or ten people who had a fever for two days, but so far, no one Signs of smallpox."

Yokam immediately said loudly: "My lord, didn't you say that there is no cure for this disease?"

Jia Qi said: "Yes, once infected, there is no cure, but it can be prevented early. Now I'm going to the city, may I ask you to stay here, or go back to your guild hall?"

These Westerners looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally left under Castiglione's persuasion.

As soon as these people left, Castiglione couldn't help but said: "My lord, may I ask, is the smallpox on the opposite side your handwriting?"

"The priest seems to have already guessed?"

Castiglione raised his hands high and said: "Oh, my merciful God, I have been in the East for so many years, and I am also very aware of the power of smallpox, but I never knew that smallpox can also be used as a weapon."

Jia Qi said: "Father, as long as I am willing, anything in this world can be used as a weapon. You should have heard of a saying from Da Wei that medicine and poison are not separated."

"You admit it?"

Lang Shining was stunned.

Jia Qi said: "It's just a coincidence. Let me tell you by the way, most of the people who work for me in my industry are not afraid of smallpox. As for the others, I don't know."

Castiglione had a flash of inspiration, and said, "It's that aromatherapy ball!"

Lang Shining remembered that a few days ago, Jia Qi sent people to force the people to go to a nearby medical clinic for physical examination in the name of giving free consultations to the people. At that time, someone took a copper aromatherapy ball and sprayed the powder into it. These people, including the baby's mouth and nose.

Afterwards, it is said that many people started to have a fever and showed signs of a cold.

Jia Qi took a deep look at Castiglione and did not refute.

He said: "Let's go, priest, we should meet someone."

Zhen Yingjia, the self-proclaimed Grand Marshal of Zhengdong, was very proud after occupying Jia Qi's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Huzhou Prefecture, and set up the command post here.

Zhen Yingjia also dreamed of capturing Jia Qi and enjoying Jia Qi's property.But what he never expected was that he would be infected with smallpox at this time!

Not only Zhen Yingjia was alone, even many people under his command were infected with smallpox.And these smallpox broke out overnight.

Zhen Yingjia never doubted it, but when he saw Jia Qi, he suddenly understood.

This Jia Silang, Lin Ruhai's proud disciple, must have a trump card in his hand that he doesn't know about.

Zhen Yingjia was shocked and angry, but he was really too weak, so weak that he couldn't get up at all.He was so weak that when he saw Jia Qi sitting in front of him, he thought he was dreaming: "Why, how could it be you?"

"Lord Zhen, should I say this is the first meeting, or long time no see?"

On the surface, Jia Qi and Zhen Yingjia had never met before, but Jia Qi knew that Lin Ruhai's previous crises were all related to Zhen Yingjia.

"How, how is it possible? You, why are you here? Yes, yes, this is your property, and it is not uncommon to have one or two secret passages that you only know about."

Jia Qi said: "Master Zhen is not wrong at all."

Zhen Yingjia said: "Why did you come here? Are you not afraid of contracting smallpox? No, no, our two families are family friends. If you have been infected with smallpox, I will know. After all, what happened?"

"Your Excellency, you really forget things a lot." Jia Qi said slowly, "Did you forget that my father-in-law has been in danger many times in the position of Yangzhou Yanyan Yushi, and it is all thanks to your Excellency?"

Zhen Yingjia's eyes widened, and her pus-filled face was full of shock: "You, you already know?! Yes, you are Lin Ruhai's student and the son-in-law he personally selected, so he will definitely tell you. Lin Ruhai That old fox, he actually told you this! How old were you then?!"

Jia Qi said: "Master Zhen, this is the biggest difference between you and my father-in-law. My father-in-law has never treated me like a child. Of course, I don't mind telling you something more,"

"whats the matter?"

Jia Qi whispered: "Just like when you persecuted my father-in-law in every possible way, the Supreme Emperor and Long Live didn't say anything. I also left my father-in-law behind. Sweet potatoes are one thing, and this smallpox is what we gave I kept the last life-saving talisman. If you and the master behind you hadn't played big, I wouldn't have taken out this big killer. This is something that can hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred."

I don't use it unless I have to!

Jia Qi didn't say the last sentence.

Cowpox and smallpox, these are Jia Qi's last means of life-saving, Jia Qi originally did not want to use this.

Once, Jia Qi also thought about using vaccinia to keep the whole Central Plains away from the ravages of smallpox, but during the years of studying with Lin Ruhai, Jia Qi knew a series of serious consequences of land annexation, and also knew that smallpox is mitigating in this era. One of the important ways of population pressure, so he chose to conceal it.

Lin Ruhai also warned him that unless he reached a position where no one could shake him, smallpox and cowpox would be his last life-saving talismans.

Therefore, Jia Qi never took out the cowpox.

The incense powder in the aromatherapy ball that Jia Qi gave to the people of Shanghai to avoid acne before, besides spices, there is also one thing in it, that is the cowpox scab that is dried and then ground into powder.Although some people will have adverse reactions, they can recover after two days of recuperation and develop immunity to smallpox.

Before marrying Lin Daiyu, Jia Qi had thought of a way to sprinkle that kind of incense powder on the whole family, and only Jia She and Jia Cong had a fever for two days.Jia Amnesty and Jia Cong didn't think anything was wrong at all, they thought they had accidentally caught a cold and caught a cold.

"What did you say?"

Zhen Yingjia's face was full of astonishment.

His expression does not seem to be fake.

Jia Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Did I make a mistake? Isn't it your master who withheld military pay and supplies at the border and opened the country to Mongolians and women in a disguised form?"

"No, the third master is not that kind of person!"

"Third master?" Jia Qi narrowed his eyes, "The third master of the Supreme Emperor is a typical person who doesn't care about things. Except for writing books, he rarely interacts with officials, let alone controls the Ministry of War. The third master you mentioned should be Is it the third master who is long live today?"

Seeing that Zhen Yingjia didn't refute, Jia Qi laughed loudly: "Aren't you a person of the Supreme Emperor? My father-in-law almost died in the position of Xunyan Yushi, and there was no sign from above, isn't it because you are a person of the Supreme Emperor? You have already taken refuge with the Third Prince! Hahahaha~"

Zhen Yingjia said: "The Supreme Emperor is old, what's wrong with me finding a way out for myself?"

"No, I just find it ironic. Someone like the Supreme Emperor can be called a benevolent monarch, and you are actually a loyal minister in his heart. I really don't feel worthy for the teacher."

"Who made Lin Ruhai stupid! He is only loyal to the person on the chair, but he doesn't know that his thoughts have been seen through by the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor has only two words, and Long Live has doubted him. If it weren't for you, he would have already suspected him." died."

"Yes. If it wasn't for me, my father-in-law would have died long ago, and even sister Lin would have been forced to death by the Jia family. The Supreme Emperor and Long Live took away so much property from the Lin family, and they would still watch Sister Lin being forced to death. I even think this is their kindness to the Lin family, is that so?"

Zhen Yingjia said: "Don't say that you are a good person, you are not a good thing either!"

Jia Qi said: "Yes, just like my father-in-law, he ended up with Dawei, and I ended up with Huaxia."

"You! You actually want to change the dynasty!"

"Didn't your lord have the same idea? Otherwise, what's your lord doing in Huzhou if you don't go north to King Qin?"

"Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai, who has been loyal all his life, actually taught you such a wolf cub."

"I've said it before, I'm finally Huaxia."

Seeing Zhen Yingjia dying in front of her, Jia Qi stood up.

In this village, only Jia Qi's subordinates are still alive.Lin Xian stood in front of Jia Qi respectfully. He was the person in charge of the Zhuangzi and the youngest son of Lin Ruhai's former confidant Lin Zhong.

Behind him, there was a crowd of people standing on the ground.These people are all old members of the Lin family. The Jiangnan bureaucratic group headed by Zhen Yingjia pressed Lin Ruhai step by step, forcibly hollowing out Lin Ruhai's body, and the Lin family was on the verge of disappearing.Many people in the Lin family knew about this matter, and it was also the thing that loyal servants of the Lin family resented the most.Although Lin Zhong went to guard Lin Ruhai's tomb, he told his son to watch Jia Qi avenge Lin Ruhai.

Today, Jia Qi finally did it.

"Grandpa, it's all cleaned up."

"Let's go. Zhen Yingjia is just a pawn at best, but he is not the real culprit."

Jia Qi silently looked to the north, where there was the king who Lin Ruhai had devoted his whole life to, and never had the slightest complaint even to the point of death.That one is the common enemy of the Lin family.

Calculate Lin Ruhai, calculate Lin Daiyu, calculate Jia Qi.

Is it true that the Lin family is a plaything in his hands?

Lin Ruhai could grit his teeth and bear it, but Jia Qi couldn't.

The king is respectful and the minister is loyal.

This is the teaching of the ancient sages, how could Jia Qi get it wrong?

The next day it was light, and a group of fifteen ships, large and small, headed north.After more than ten days of sea travel, Jia Qi and his party finally arrived in Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei, as the gate of the capital, is also the most important guard. Obviously, it has been taken care of by the Mongols and women straight. Therefore, the guard is so dilapidated that no one came out to confirm whether Jia Qi's ship was big or not. Wei's own ship.

Jia Qi didn't stay in this place too long, but changed into a sharp-bottomed boat that had been prepared in the river and sailed upstream to Tongzhou.

After passing through Tongzhou, which was ravaged by soldiers, there was an atmosphere of disinfecting and dilapidation everywhere, and there was no bustling scene of the past when it was at its peak.

Even in the capital, the fireworks on the incarnation field never stopped.

Jia Qi went straight back to Rongchanghou's mansion, and then handed over the book into the palace, waiting for the emperor's summons.

For more than three months, the capital had been cut off from the outside world, and then smallpox broke out again. Even though the food at home was sufficient and fresh vegetables were planted in the back garden, Mrs. Jia Shexing still had a sad face, thinking that she would never be able to again. Seeing Jia Qi, now, seeing Jia Qi standing in front of him in good condition, both Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing thought they were dreaming.

"Brother Qi, it's really Brother Qi."

"Yes, father, mother, I'm back."

When Mrs. Xing saw Jia Qi, she gave Jia Qi a slap in the face: "You child, why did you come back? Don't you know that Beijing is allowed to enter and not to leave?"

Jia Qi said: "My son knows, but my son is more worried about the family."

Jia She said: "Of course there is nothing wrong with our family, but we just lost a few women from the outer courtyard. Where is Miss Lin?"

Jia Qi said: "Sister Lin is fine, but she is inconvenient to move now, so I let Sister Lin stay in the south."

"Could it be that she has a child? My God! It's at this time!" Mrs. Xing was both happy and sad. Jia Qi had no choice but to say: "Mother, Sister Lin is fine."

Mrs. Xing said: "You child, how do you know about the childbirth? How old is Miss Lin now? After the new year, she is only eighteen! She is too young, and there is no elder by her side. Now you She was also called to Beijing, and she was left alone in the south, she didn't know how scared she was."

"I left You Ruo to Sister Lin."

"What's the difference? Forget it, I'll go there myself." Mrs. Xing said, "Look at me, I forgot, now the capital is allowed to enter but not to leave."

Jia She said: "Fourth, Beijing has been separated from the outside world for a long time, how is the situation in various places now?"

Jia Qi could only briefly talk about the situation outside.

When Jia Amnesty heard that half of the troops in various places had turned against each other, he immediately frowned, and said, "You child, since this is the situation outside, you should bring Bai Lin girl back. Even Zhen Yingjia can attack you in Shanghai Mansion, those people in the south will not let your Huzhou mansion go. If Lin girl falls into their hands..."

Jia Qi said: "Father, I'm afraid they don't have the time."

"Ok?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Qi suspiciously.

"Father, smallpox has also broken out in Jiangnan."

"What?!" Mrs. Xing exclaimed, "What about Miss Lin?"

Jia Qi said: "When Sister Lin and I were with my aunt, I had pimples. So it doesn't matter if Sister Lin or I are both."

"Vaccination?"

Jia Amnesty was taken aback for a moment, and immediately lowered his head to break his fingers.

Mrs. Xing took her son to ask him about his health, and Jia She was disturbed, which made Jia She very unhappy: "Didn't you see that I was thinking about something?"

Jia Qi said: "Father, you don't have to forget it, it's just as you think."

"Really, is it really what I think it is?"

Jia Qi nodded and said, "Yes. This is the last life-saving talisman my aunt gave me. If the capital hadn't been besieged, I..."

Jia Amnesty immediately jumped up, covered his son's mouth, and said, "Okay, I know, I know. You don't have to say it, I won't ask." Then he said to Mrs. Xing: "You are not allowed to ask .”

Mrs. Xing didn't know what Jia She was worried about, but Mrs. Xing was used to listening to her husband, and when she saw Jia She was so serious and with such an expression, she immediately nodded obediently: "Master, don't worry, I know."

Beat all the maids and women in the house again, that's all.

In the evening, Jia Qi met Jia Mu.

Mother Jia has aged a lot, not to mention more freckles on her face, and her hair is extremely thin. Obviously, these days, Mother Jia is not feeling well. Even the dishes like the baby lamb on the table are gone. It's vegetables.

Mother Jia looked at the dishes on the dinner table following Jia Qi's line of sight, and said with a smile: "It's not that your father treated me badly, this is my wish, as long as you are well, I will become a vegetarian. By the way, Miss Lin is still Well, why don't you see her come back with you."

Jia Qi had to explain it like this.

Jia's mother said: "Amitabha. I thought that girl Lin, like her parents, would be a hard offspring. Now that she has a body, I can feel at ease." She pointed to Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun who were sitting next to her. One, said: "Nowadays the world is difficult, boy Lan didn't make it through this time, and your sister-in-law Zhu also followed. I was afraid that Baoyu and girl Yun would have accidents, so I took them over. Every day is less and less,..."

Jia Qi quickly stood up and said, "Old lady, what you said really hurt my grandson."

Jia Mu said: "You child, you are just too careful. Yes, you are two years younger than Baoyu, and I always treat you as children. Now you are an official of the court, you should be more cautious."

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "Brother Qi, I would like to congratulate you this time. If Sister Lin comes back, I will definitely be happy."

Jia Qi said: "Then thank sister Yun for her good words."

Jia Baoyu suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "The old sisters, now we are the only ones left."

Jia Qi was puzzled.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Brother Qi, don't mind, he just remembered those people in his room."

Jia Qi was stunned, and then looked at the girls behind Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu, all of them had strange faces.

Seeing that Jia Qi didn't understand, Wang Xifeng's current big girl, Xiao Hong, hurriedly told Jia Qi behind the scenes that several girls and servants around Jia Baoyu were infected with smallpox this time, and Shi Xiangyun immediately threw them away. I went to the Huarenchang.For this reason, Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were very upset. Even if Jia's mother picked them up, the young couple did not speak for several days.

The pearl in front of Jia's mother also told Jia Qi that the women who were missing under the Rongchanghou's mansion also contracted smallpox after Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun came.

And Shi Xiangyun took the opportunity to talk about the family affairs of relatives.

This time, it was Bingxuan and smallpox again. Jia She's family was lucky, so they lost a few wives, but other families didn't have such good luck.The two masters of the Shi family folded in, Jia Lan was gone, and Li Wan hung from the beam that night.It's okay for the Zhang family to sacrifice wine, but Zhang Shuya's mother passed away.Two of the three masters of the Xu family were gone. Jia Wan's father-in-law and husband were fine, but two uncles were gone.As for the Qi family, the young and old of the Qi family are fine, but the married aunts are gone.

Hearing Shi Xiangyun's preciousness to these relatives, Jia Qi couldn't help asking: "Sister Yun is so well informed, I wonder how the second and third sisters are doing now?"

Shi Xiangyun choked immediately.

Instead, it was Jia Baoyu, who immediately let out a long sigh.

Jia Yingchun's luck was very bad. When Mrs. Jia Zhengwang had an accident, she was not young, but she hadn't been engaged yet. After three years of filial piety, she was already very old, and after being a sinner , so the marriage was very unsatisfactory.

Not enough for Jia Yingchun's good temper, she doesn't make trouble, and she is also the granddaughter of Jia's mother. Even if others ignore her, it depends on Jia's mother's face. People don't care much about her.In addition, her body is not bad, and she gave birth to a son immediately after she got married, and finally gained a firm foothold.This time with smallpox, she and her husband and children have nothing to do, but her sister-in-law is gone, and more than half of her uncle and his children are gone. Now the capital is like this, they have no livelihood, and the whole family I can only count on Yingchun's dowry to live.Thanks to Jia She's constant help, Yingchun's family did not starve to death.

The problematic one is Tanchun.Tanchun has always been very strong, although the death of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang turned her into a sinner's daughter, but Tanchun's temperament can't be changed just by changing, but Tanchun's husband's family has several sisters-in-law who are very powerful. Chun didn't know how to give in like Yingchun, so that she didn't have much fun with her sisters-in-law, and even her mother-in-law didn't stand by her.

This smallpox, Tanchun's husband did not survive.

That's fine.But Tanchun is a character who refuses to bow his head. For the sake of her husband and children, Yingchun knows to come to Jia She to make amends, and begs Mrs. Jia She Xing to help her, but Tanchun can't do it.Tanchun offended her husband's family, her husband was gone, she had no children yet, and she refused to take out the dowry. Her husband's family also had a few powerful ones, so they strangled Tanchun to death, and went directly to Jia's family. People say that Tanchun died in love.

At that time, Beijing was in chaos again. By the time the Jia family got the news, Tanchun had already entered the Huaren field. If Jia Huan hadn't inquired carefully, no one in the Jia family would have known the real cause of Tanchun's death.

Then Jia Baoyu talked about Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin sisters.

Wang Ren also died in the smallpox. Xue Baochai's family lost the man who was the mainstay, and life was very bad. There is no news about the birth of Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, so Xue Baochai can only go to Xue Baoqin.

Xue Baoqin was kind to this cousin, but I don't know when the neighbors in the neighborhood spread all kinds of ugly words about Liu Xianglian and Xue Baochai. If you have it, you will be promoted. How can you tolerate being ruined by others at this stage?

Liu Xianglian sent Xue Baochai home.

But in such a chaotic world, if it is like the Jia family, a family with many servants would be better, but Xue Baochai is a woman, and she was driven out of the house by Wang Ziteng. Now there are no men, and she is the only widow in the family. With two or three girls and a few servants, how can such a family not be missed?

Birth Xue Baochai looked very good, so I heard that she suffered a lot of crimes before she died.

When Jia Baoyu mentioned Xue Baochai, she burst into tears: "Poor sister Bao's character, how..."

Shi Xiangyun immediately said angrily: "If it wasn't for Sister Bao who incited the big brother of the Wang family to fight with Mr. Wang, it would have caused the big brother of the Wang family to break up with Mr. Wang? If she hadn't annoyed Mr. Wang, she is still in the Wang family. How could she be her eldest mistress?"

Although Wang Xifeng has no feelings for her brother, and even has some resentment towards Wang Ren, but Wang Ren is dead, and Wang Ren has no chance to do anything to sister Qiao in this life. Now that Wang Xifeng thinks of this brother, it is naturally more beneficial .

Wang Xifeng said: "How many men in this world are like our brother Qi, who know how to make progress at a young age? Most of them are like my brother. When they don't have a family, they are pampered by the family, and when they get married Now, when you know what’s going on, you’ll grow up naturally. It’s a pity that when my brother met Sister Bao, when the second wife was around, she would always say that Sister Bao was so good and so good. Be more dignified! I thought she was a good person, but in the end, I am still young, and I am not as well-informed as the old lady. How can I not feel resentful for my brother to end up like this!"

Shi Xiangyun immediately said: "Speaking of which, I remember that Brother Qi also doesn't like Sister Bao very much."

Jia Qi said, "Why are you involved with me again?"

Shi Xiangyun said: "Who told you to treat Sister Bao like that."

Jia Qi thought for a while, and said: "Well, it's not a big deal. I hate her, but because she was originally a merchant woman, but she put on high airs and looked down on the sisters at home. I will replace her They are dissatisfied, so they look down on her."

Both Shi Xiangyun and Wang Xifeng said: "So that's how it is."

Jia Mu said: "Yes, I don't like Bao girl, it's here. She is too showy. She has to be a head above others in everything, but I don't know, a girl from a really good family I wouldn't act like this. It's just that she's gone, alas~"

When Xue Baochai was there, Mrs. Wang even compared her with Lin Daiyu, saying that Lin Daiyu was weak and would collapse when the wind blew, and that Xue Baochai was in good health and rich, and she should marry Xue Baochai as a daughter-in-law.

As a result, Xue Baochai has not had a child in the past few years of her marriage, and she is still in such a situation. Instead, Lin Daiyu is about to have a child after she has only been married to Jia Qi for a long time.

But now that Lin Daiyu is in the south, Mother Jia is really worried.

Instead, it was Shi Xiangyun. She was not interested in Lin Daiyu's situation, but she was curious about Jia Qi's various activities in the south, from the special products of Shanghai Prefecture to taxes, and then to those Westerners. Shi Xiangyun asked many questions, and heard her alone during the dinner. Chattering, coupled with Wang Xifeng, it seemed lively.

However, no matter how lively Jia's house is, it can't change the situation outside.

Just when Jiamu's banquet was halfway there, she heard the death knell outside.

Jia's mother jumped up in shock, while Wang Xifeng immediately counted with her ears sideways.
