The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Mrs. You was stunned by what Third Sister You said, and thought about it for a while, and then deeply agreed.

It was late to discuss with Jia Zhen at home.Jia Zhen thought about it, and felt that what Third Sister You said made sense, but she was reluctant to part with such a unique way to reach the sky.After thinking about it, he still asked You's family to find out what Chen Gui meant.But he wanted Chen Gui to show his loyalty to the Ning Mansion in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. You must return to her mother's house the next day.When Chen's mother and daughter heard You's words, they were a little inconceivable.There were discussions about whether Jia Zhen's mind was filled with water.You Shi also felt helpless.But since it was Jia Zhen's entrustment, no matter how disapproving it was, it was not easy for everyone to ignore it.So Chen Shi really took advantage of Chen Gui's rest day and took the second and third sisters to ask in person.

Chen Gui had a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Jia Zhen to beg him for such a thing.Immediately smile.Naturally, he wouldn't believe these drama-like plots.However, it was related to the private affairs of the crown prince's harem, so Chen Gui didn't dare to laugh it off, and immediately inquired with Chen in detail how Jia Zhen knew about this matter, and what she planned to do, and asked someone to confirm it privately, and then Feel wrong.

Even so, Chen Gui still doesn't suggest that Ningguo Mansion wade into this muddy water.After all, this matter involves the Crown Princess, and it is also a chaos in the East Palace.As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, even though Chen Gui thought he was highly valued by the crown prince and talked about everything on weekdays, he did not dare to talk about these things with the crown prince for no reason.At the same time, he also advised Chen Haosheng to tell Youshi, and asked Youshi Haosheng to advise Jia Zhen not to care about the right and wrong of the royal family.

Chen Gui has been in the officialdom for many years, so his suggestions are naturally old-fashioned.Mrs. Chen got what her brother wanted, so she rushed to Ningguo Mansion without stopping, and told Youshi face to face, telling her not to agree to this marriage.

You Shi has always been obedient to Chen Shi, and this time is no exception.

When Jia Zhen's house came in the evening, Mrs. You told her exactly what Mrs. Chen had told her.Unexpectedly, after listening to You Shi's words, Jia Zhen not only didn't know how to protect herself, but instead asked: "So uncle and his old man didn't tell His Royal Highness the matter?"

"My uncle said that this is the back house of the Eastern Palace. He is a foreign official, so he can't take care of it. It is clear that His Highness the Crown Prince hates him, and the Crown Princess Empress hates him. This kind of thankless thing He won't do it." You Shi said while persuading Jia Zhen: "Uncle also told me to persuade the master not to get involved in this matter. Since the conclusion was made at that time, it has returned to dust now. Dust returns to ashes, why are you still stirring up these old things? People like us have long been blessed by the emperor, so there is no need to act opportunistically."

Hearing this, Jia Zhen sneered and said, "He didn't mention this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince, so how did he know that His Highness the Crown Prince must be unhappy when he heard the news? I think he was afraid that we would take this opportunity to cling to the nobleman." , from now on, let’s just gain power over him.”

As the saying goes, if a person is obsessed with ghosts, he won't listen to people's persuasion.You Shi felt that Jia Zhen was like this.

Seeing that Jia Zhen refused to enter, You Shi simply stopped persuading her.In the early morning of the next day, he took Jia Rong to the Rong Mansion to pay his respects.At that time, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Sister Feng and Sanchun were all there.We met each other and talked and laughed with Jia Mu once.You Shi rarely mentioned Jia Zhen's intention to hire Jia Rong's adopted daughter of a fifth-rank Beijing official as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning Mansion. Yes, Brother Rong can't hold back the master in matters of life. But Brother Rong will call me a mother anyway, and I will worry about him this time, so as to live up to his respect. What is our Jia Mansion like? Don't need me to say too much. Just say that Brother Rong is the only heir of our master, and this Ning Mansion will definitely belong to him in the future. His wife is the head wife of our Ning Mansion. Because of this relationship, I I think that even if Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is not the daughter of a prince and noble, at least she must have a clean family background and a clear background. It is better to pick the daughter of a fifth-rank Yingxiong at random...she is still an adopted daughter from no one knows where. If this The marriage is really done, what will outsiders say and think in the future?"

Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others never thought that Mrs. You would say such a thing, and they were shocked.Jia Muyin asked: "Well, why did Zhen'er take a fancy to the daughter of this family. Do you know the inside story?"

Of course Youshi knew, but she would never admit it.He had no choice but to laugh and said, "I don't know what the master is thinking. I just feel that this matter is inappropriate. It's a pity that I'm a soft-spoken person, so I can't persuade the master. I just ask the old lady, the eldest wife, and the second wife to help persuade me."

After hearing Youshi's unclear words, Jia's mother became more and more confused.I had to agree: "Brother Zhen and daughter-in-law, don't worry. Wait for your master to come and ask him to come see me. I'll just persuade him."

After finishing speaking, he beckoned Youshi to come forward, took her hand and said, "You are a good person. You are willing to bother about Rong'er's plan."

Youshi laughed and said, "It's just the hearts of parents in the world."

Jia Mu praised: "What a parent in the world. If everyone in the world is as loving and motherly as you, I will be relieved."

Sister Feng was suffering from heart disease because of the miscarriage. After hearing what Jia Mu said, she blushed.Fortunately, Mother Jia didn't think about beating Sister Feng, but just pulled Youshi to talk.Then I heard the little girl who was pulling the curtain outside laughing and saying, "Baoyu is here."

After saying a word, I saw a brother wearing red arrow sleeves with white butterflies and flowers rushing in.As soon as he stood still on the ground and greeted everyone, the monkey went to Jiamu's arms and shouted, "Old ancestor."

Jia's mother was so happy that she smiled, put her arms around Baoyu and said with a smile, "how are you doing in school today? Are you teaching well, sir? What have you learned?"

Baoyu laughed and said, "The left is just something fabricated by those people. What can there be?"

After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Be careful, your master heard you beat your flesh."

Baoyu shrank her head in fright, hid in Jiamu's arms and tossed like a twisted hip.Everyone watching couldn't help laughing, and they all started joking.

After talking and laughing for a while, a little girl from the east courtyard came over to pass on a message, saying that the old man had something to discuss with Mrs. Xing.When Mrs. Xing heard this, she got up and said goodbye.Seeing that it was late, You Shi also took Jia Rong to leave.

Holding Baoyu in her arms, Jia's mother said to Youshi Jiarong: "There is pheasant soup stewed in the kitchen. It tastes good to me. You two should stay for lunch."

When Jia Rong of Youshi heard the words, she couldn't help thanking her.

It was time to eat.Mrs. Wang arranged for her servants to set up tables and chairs, and took Li Wanfeng and her son to hold meals and chopsticks.You Shi stood beside Jia Mu and served her vegetables.

Unexpectedly, Jiamu took Youshi's hand and smiled, "It's just a simple meal for my family, so there is no need for these polite rules. You all sit down too."

The last sentence is to Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Sister Feng.

When Sister Feng heard the words, she said with a smile: "Our ancestors still love my sister-in-law the most, but we are already in the light of my sister-in-law."

When Mr. You saw Sister Feng, he would laugh for a while.Unexpectedly, Sister Feng has recently experienced a miscarriage and made fun of her aunt, and has been depressed.Seeing Youshi, it's not easy to make fun of.At this moment, hearing that Sister Feng took the initiative to speak up, she also smiled and said: "You have finally spoken. I thought you didn't see anyone and didn't see me. Maybe you ate too much during the New Year's Eve , the fat covered the throat and made him dumb."

At the end of a sentence, everyone couldn't help laughing.Sister Feng couldn't help laughing and said: "Nonsense. I have only heard people say that fat can cover the heart. Who has ever heard that fat can cover the throat. Our ancestors always said that we are clever in speech. Now sister-in-law Tongzhen A comparison makes us all dumb."

Jia Mu always likes sharp people. Hearing what Sister Feng said, she also laughed and said, "Both of you are smart. Only your two mothers-in-law are clumsy."

While talking and joking, a little girl had already passed on the dishes.Everyone sat down according to the age of the host and guest.After dinner, I had tea again.Only then did they separate.

It was night when Jia Zhen came back, and it was rare for You Shi to mention today's events with Jia Zhen.When Jia Zhen heard this, she sneered and said, "Now that you have your uncle's backing, you really can't get through with me."

Hearing this, Mrs. You didn't answer. While helping Jia Zhen to wash, she lowered her eyebrows and said with lowered eyebrows: "Master, don't be angry. I am also thinking about the reputation of our Ning Mansion. Even if that Miss Qin is so kind, After all, the name is not right and the words are not right. Even if it is the blood of a nobleman, so what? Would the nobleman still tell her to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan? If she can’t recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, then she is not a fifth-rank Beijing official who was brought back from the Yangshengtang It’s just an outcast. It’s not a good match for our brother Rong.”

"You—" Jia Zhen was speechless at Youshi's words.Unknowingly annoyed, he still kept the towel in the copper basin, and stormed out of the door angrily.

It's night, but I'm sleeping in my aunt's room.In the next few days, he also treated Youshi indifferently.

Yushi didn't think so.But what she didn't expect was that after Jia Zhen went to Rongfu to meet Jia's mother early the next morning, Jia's mother agreed to Jia Zhen's appointment of marrying Qin's daughter as Rong's daughter-in-law.Instead, he helped Jia Zhen to persuade You Shi.

Yushi couldn't do anything about it.Even though she intends to plan for Jia Rong, but as a wife and daughter-in-law, she can't resist the wishes of her husband and elders in the family.According to Jia Zhen's instructions, a matchmaker was prepared for the bride price and went to the Qin family to engage.

Jia Rong was puzzled by this, so she had to ask You Shi: "Why does my father insist that I marry the daughter of the Qin family?"

When Youshi heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes angrily, and said, "Your father's brain is flooded!"

Jia Rong: "..."

Since the Ning Mansion issued a dowry, the Qin Mansion has already responded.Jia Zhen felt that everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng.Afterwards, he searched for someone to recommend him, and only asked to see the prince.

Although Jia Zhen is mediocre in intelligence and far away from the court, but as a queen of meritorious service, he has some friendship with the inner palace minister.If you want to meet the prince once, as long as you understand it, it is not difficult.

However, what Jia Zhen didn't expect was that after he met the prince, things didn't develop as he expected.

And after His Royal Highness sent Jia Zhen away, he ordered Chen Gui to enter the palace immediately.
