Qin Keqing and Xichun were worrying about whether or not her elder brother would stay in the painting, and they couldn't hold back when they talked, Youshi was worried about Xichun, so she came to see how the cleaning was going, if there was anything unsatisfactory, and whether the servants obeyed.
When I entered the room, I saw that neither of their aunts and nephews spoke, so I had to ask: "What's the matter, could it be that you got angry in that mansion?"
Xichun hurriedly said with a smile: "It's not that I'm angry, it's just that I'm thinking about inviting my sisters to come over for a while, which means I'm coming home. Who knows, she said that the family is in a mess about my brother's business now. , It’s better to wait a few days for my brother to recover, and then invite the sisters to come over.”
It was only then that Youshi knew that it was two people who had disagreements.I thought what Qin Keqing said was reasonable, but I couldn't bear to dismiss Xichun's first request when he came back.Yin said to Qin Keqing:
"You're right. It's just your father-in-law's place, so you don't need to worry about your aunt. Even if you invite the imperial doctor, you will only go to my yard, and then let their sisters just play in the garden. Your aunt finally returned Once you have entered your own home, you should invite your sisters."
If you are so unprincipled and used to it, aren't you afraid of pampering a savage girl?Qin Keqing regretted that she let these two people get close. If Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu came again, she would find someone to reason with.But Xichun was able to think of a reason to prevaricate Youshi so quickly, it can be seen that her mind is very clear.This move may not be because I asked her to notify Lin Daiyu as soon as possible, so I pretended to meditate.
"My mother-in-law is right, but I was wrong." After Qin Keqing finished speaking, she gave Xi Chunfu a blessing, which was an apology for what she had never said just now - You Shi is here, it is not good for her to do this The younger generation's words and deeds were wrong, but they didn't show it at all.
Xichun accepted her gift with some unease, which made Youshi laugh: "Although you are young, you are also her aunt. Why can't you bear this gift? Just be stubborn in front of me, and it won't work if you go to others, right?" .”
"Sister-in-law." Xichun called out resolutely.
But Qin Keqing said to Youshi: "I heard that there is a servant next to my father-in-law, who is the elder brother who is in the painting. Others' mother-in-law is not easy to meet. I think it is my aunt's elder brother. It is not a problem for us to meet. Just ask him to come over. Ask what happened that day, why did General Feng just whip the whip?"
Since I brought Jia Zhen back yesterday, I have been busy asking for medical advice and medicine for him, and no one has bothered to ask about the details at that time.When Qin Keqing mentioned it like this, You Shi naturally felt that it was reasonable.In addition, she knew that although she had the ability to be a housekeeper, she was not as fine as Qin Keqing, so she asked people to find her elder brother who was in the painting.
Ruhua heard that she was looking for her brother, and her face was a little nervous. Even if she didn't know why Grandma Xiao Rong suddenly asked to see her brother, she also knew that something happened to the uncle yesterday, and the brother who followed the uncle might be in trouble. Not good.A pair of eyes only looked at his own girl.
Xichun was even more confused, she knew that Qin Keqing didn't want to ask about Jia Zhen's situation, she wanted to investigate whether the painting's elder brother was reliable.It's just that she didn't have much contact with this young man, but she heard that Ru Hua said he was a tight-lipped guy, so she asked someone to send a letter for her on impulse.If Qin Keqing was about to get angry with this slave, what would she do?
Don't save her, don't say that Ruhua is her big girl, but she doesn't care about her face.It was only said that the slave acted on her orders, and she couldn't ignore it.
Seeing the entanglement on Xichun's face, Qin Keqing didn't say anything to comfort her: Everyone should be responsible for what they have done, and she will use this matter to let Xichun know that everything should be thought twice before acting , not impulsive.
After thinking about it, Ruhua's elder brother had already been brought here. After asking, he found out that Ruhua's surname was Wang, and his elder brother's name was Wang Zhu'er.Listening to Youshi asking him about yesterday's situation, this boy opened his mouth and came over: "Yesterday, the servants of each family also followed suit, but later the uncle of the Wei family said that the smell was not good due to the crowd, so he sent the servants to wait outside the door In less than a moment, I heard a high-pitched sound from inside, as if someone was arguing. The servants were still wondering, in the past, even if the uncles were drunk, it would only happen after an hour or two. Why is it like this today? quick?"
"Just as I was talking, I heard our uncle's voice was wrong, and asked aloud how you beat someone. The servants didn't listen well, and they rushed in regardless of whether the other masters were willing or not. I saw Master Feng They are whipping our uncle, and they are talking about giving our uncle a lesson, it is rare to see one love the other."
Youshi's face was a bit unsightly, thinking that Jia Zhen must have competed with Feng Tang to cause this matter.Qin Keqing's heart was secretly happy, this Feng Tang was always rough and subtle, and his words were also eloquent. If you understand, you understand yourself, but if you don't understand, it's useless to listen to everything.
It's a pity.Qin Keqing sighed: "Why don't you just say stop you when you go in? Look at the wounds on the uncle's body, it's not a matter of one whip and two whips."
Wang Zhu'er called out to Qu: "Why don't the slaves want to take the place of the master? But General Feng is so powerful that the other masters on the field and the people they follow are also at odds. After the draw is over, we must be the master. Let the uncle use silver to redeem the crime. Our uncle seems to be quite afraid of General Feng, he said [-], so Bao Er came back and took [-]."
You Shi slapped the table, thinking of the white silver, his heart ached: "Who urged the uncle to go out?"
Wang Zhu'er hurriedly said: "It wasn't the slaves who pushed it, it was actually the uncle who accepted the post from the master of the Wei family, and then went out."
It seems that this is a trick for Jia Zhen.That's fine, it's convenient for Qin Keqing to do tricks, but is this the one doing tricks? With a "snap", Wang Zhuer's face froze for a moment.Everyone in the room was startled suddenly by Qin Keqing, who had always shown himself to be peaceful.Even Wang Zhu'er didn't feel the pain on his face, he was only worried that if he made Grandma Xiao Rong mad again, then he and his sister would not be able to stay in the house.
Shaking her numb hand in secret, Qin Keqing once again expressed concern about the quality of this body, but her face was extremely angry: "For such a slave, thanks to the uncle, he still regards him as a reliable person. I don't know, but I still have the face to complain about my master!"
Youshi's worry was similar to that of Wang Zhu'er: "Forget it, he is always the person in front of your father-in-law, why should you bother with him. Just take care of yourself. If you let this slave get angry again, there will be more and less."
Xichun only thought of Qin Keqing's slap because she was annoyed by Wang Zhu'er delivering the letter for her, she dared not make a sound like a little quail, and avoided looking at Ruhua's eyes asking for help.Qin Keqing knew that she was a bit rough and her moves were a little old, but as a young mistress, how could she physically touch other men besides this move?
You Shi had no intention of asking any more questions, so he only asked Wang Zhu'er to go back to serve Jia Zhen, and told him not to talk nonsense.Then he took the initiative to turn the topic back to Xichun's banquet for the sisters, where to sit up, where to enjoy the scenery in autumn, and how to care for vegetables.Always keep Qin Keqing from thinking about what happened just now.
It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.But Qin Keqing didn't feel any guilt about killing You's husband at all.
Yes, if Jia Zhen died, Youshi's life would have to be as good as it is now.But it was precisely because Jia Zhen was about to die suddenly, and there was no time to explain many things to Jia Rong, so that the behind-the-scenes matters would not be involved in Ning Guofu, so that Ning Guofu could use this to get out of the boat.
Even if the Rongguo Mansion might be implicated in the future, the Ningguo Mansion will have changed from the main criminal to the accessory criminal by then. There may be house raids, but beheading will definitely not happen.Youshi will always have Jia Rong to take care of her for the elderly, and there is also a Xichun who is getting closer to her to rely on each other, which is how many times stronger than in the original book!
And if Jia Zhen had died earlier, You would not have to watch her husband flirt with his sister, nor be insulted by Wang Xifeng. Thinking about Qin Keqing, she felt that Jia Zhen could have died earlier.
As for the fact that they will have nothing to live after the ransacking of the house?Hehe, she, Qin Keqing, has thought so much about the future, and she still has a secret guard in her hand who is elusive, transfers some dowry, and buys some property in private, so she still has to say it every day?I'm afraid I can use Feng Tang's matter to get the person behind it to send another sum of money.
Having made up her mind, Qin Keqing laughed and feasted with Youshi and Xichun.That night, Baozhu was asked to bring out a letter to the hidden guard. The letter only said that Ningguo Mansion was in a hurry because of Feng Tang Suoyin this time.Now Jia Zhen has returned home, and for the sake of reputation, she thought of searching for the dowry of You Shi and herself, so as to pay back the money borrowed from others.
Qin Keqing dared to write this letter because the people behind her were thinking about the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and stuffed a lot of things into Qin Keqing's dowry, just in case things didn't work out and there was a retreat.So Qin Keqing was sure that the man must not have wanted Qin Keqing's dowry to fall into Jia Zhen's eyes.
Maybe he doesn't know Jia Zhen's dirty thoughts about Qin Keqing, but he must know the reason why gold and silk touch people's hearts.If Jia Zhen saw Qin Keqing's hidden things, the money collected from Ningguo Mansion over the years might be returned.
Sure enough, when Baozhu came back from visiting relatives the next day, she handed Qin Keqing a letter. There was not a single word in the letter, but there was a thick stack of silver notes, worth 5 taels.But Qing's heart is full of contempt, this is half of the meeting, or is it a reward for reporting this merit?
With this sum of money, the dark guard was busy again.First, he found some medicinal materials that had the opposite properties and similar shapes to Jia Zhen's medicine, and handed them to Jia Zhen's own confidant, Wang Zhuer.Then, in places with long-term effects outside Beijing, some fields were collected wantonly.Waiting for Qin Keqing to calculate that the annual income of these fields can reach about [-] taels before making him stop.
Having money is a good thing, but having too much money will attract people's attention.The worst-case scenario in the future is that Jia Rong will be left with nothing left. Even if Lin Ruhai will take care of Xichun for the sake of Xichun's face, the county magistrate may not be as good as he is now.Besides, these fields are not needed now, as they grow year after year, even Xichun's future dowry will be ready.
When thinking of dowry, one should also think of the unavoidable topic of who Xichun will marry in the future.In the original book, she grew up in the Rongguo Mansion, so she could blame Jia Shitou for her bad reputation—who told him to show off the sisters' poems no matter who they were facing.But now she will grow up in Ningguo Mansion and receive You Shi's upbringing.
Speaking it out naturally did not make Jia's mother, the super-class Duke and Duchess, educate her well.It's just that Qin Keqing doesn't regret it, at least Xichun doesn't have to live with Jia Shitou in the Grand View Garden again.
By the way, why is Jia Xiande still not a concubine at this time?Qin Keqing, who had lost her mind, wondered if she, a butterfly, was really so powerful that she even wiped out Jia Yuanchun's great fortune?Or is it because he is still alive, so he can't feel the sincerity of the Rongguo Mansion?
She wondered here, she didn't know that there was a person in Rongguo Mansion who was more anxious than her.This person was Jia Yuanchun's biological mother, and she revealed to Jia Yuanchun that Qin Keqing might be the illegitimate daughter of the deposed prince, so that she could take this opportunity to surrender to the present Mrs. Wang.
From Mrs. Wang's point of view, as long as she heard Jia Yuanchun's report today, she would try her best to investigate and then remove Qin Keqing.And her daughter will also be able to become a master because of this first confession!
At that time, Mrs. Wang thought bitterly, by then, whether it was this mansion or that Ningguo mansion, wouldn't everyone have to obey her daughter's orders? !As Jia Yuanchun's spokesperson, Mrs. Wang can laugh out loud just thinking about it.
The premise of just wanting to laugh is to find out the real evidence of Qin Keqing's identity now.Could it be that she heard wrong?Mrs. Wang was thinking uncertainly, she heard the confession of the old lady when she prayed to Buddha that day, so how could she be wrong?If it's true, why haven't the royal people made a move yet?
Could it be?Another possibility came to Mrs. Wang's mind.Do you feel that just one piece of news does not mean that the Rongguo Mansion has truly surrendered?That's it, that's it...
Mrs. Wang's thinking was confused.She wanted to let her grandson also have the most noble blood in the world, and then let her become the prince's natal family, so that Jia Shitou could be cared for by the prince's nephew.But now Mrs. Wang feels that all of this has to be based on the fact that Qin Keqing cannot exist.This person is in Ningguo Mansion, not Rongguo Mansion.This person is the young mistress of Ningguo Mansion, not Aunt Zhao and the like can let her grind.
Even if her hands were not clean, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to think about it.That is the blood of the royal family, even if the birth mother is humble, but the father is noble.Even if he is dead, he has not seen his half-brother, and he has been named the king of the county. Isn't it something ordinary people dare to provoke?
It's just a girl from a brothel, if the county king really valued this younger sister, he wouldn't let her come from a Yangshengtang, right?Mrs. Wang thought uncertainly.She only admitted at this time that facing such a thing, she was still not as good as Jia Mu in terms of vision and decision-making ability.
Looking at Mrs. Wang, who looked like a nun in front of her, but her words were killing people everywhere, Jiamu sighed inwardly.Regardless of her, since the day Yuanchun entered the palace, her family has been betrayed by the county king.But really care about her?Didn't you see that Jia Zhen asked Feng Tang to whip the whip two days ago? !
Others may think that Feng Tang is a little ruthless, but since Jia Zhen insisted on bringing Xichun back to Ningguo Mansion, Jia's mother knew that the county king must have ordered this matter.If not, how could Feng Tang disregard the old face of two or three lifetimes, and care about a nephew.
Gritting her teeth, Mother Jia made a decision: Don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind.Want to scare the Rongguo Mansion?Let me see if you really care about your lowly little sister so much: "I heard that Zhen'er is really outrageous, and she usually draws all the dirty and smelly things around her. How do you listen to that? The people in the house are vaguely implicated in Rong's daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Wang didn't understand Jia's mother's meaning at first, but when she figured it out, she was taken aback. If the news really got out, then the Jia family's reputation would be ruined: "Old lady?" She admitted this. It's a one-stroke killer, but it can't kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred.
Mother Jia said to her impatiently: "I think that Rong's daughter-in-law has a graceful figure and a coquettish manner. I'm afraid it has something to do with her original background. If that's the case, how do you know that she and Jia Zhen don't have such thoughts? It's not really what people say, but let the slaves in the mansion remind her by her side first, then you..." The rest of the things need to be taught by my mother? !
Older gingers are more spicy.Mrs. Wang had to sigh.Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, if it is first reported from the Ningguo Mansion, Youshi and Jia Rong will not be able to introduce her!If she was a temperamental person, she would naturally prove her innocence by death.But what if it's shameless?Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, and she didn't mind letting her know that she had a face.
Just when Qin Keqing was thinking about how to complete her task as soon as possible, and by the way, add more security to Youshi and Xichun, some discordant voices secretly came out from the servants of Ningguo Mansion.It was Wang Zhu'er who devoted herself to Qin Keqing as the master since she was given the loyalty talisman. Every time she heard those remarks, she told Qin Keqing, and by the way, told the other protagonist of the story, Jia Zhen, who was not improving despite her injuries.
Speaking of which, Jia Zhen was really aggrieved.It was just a dinner as usual, but in the end, I was injured all over, and I got an extra 10 taels of silver. 10 taels, his Ningguo Mansion has almost been emptied by people over the years, and he doesn't know if they can take out another 10 taels when they come to collect money from him at the end of this year.
What annoyed him even more was that he was obviously only traumatized—Feng Tang didn't dare to really hurt him—but who knew that after more than half a month of raising him, he didn't see any improvement at all.The imperial physicians changed one after another, and they all said that his pulse condition was stable, as long as he was patient and rested for a few days, he could recover.
But what about recovery?He has been lying in bed for almost half a month, and he can't even get out of bed, and his energy is getting worse day by day, which makes him start to wonder whether the imperial doctor he hired was instigated by someone to deliberately prevent himself from getting out of bed. Get better so quickly.
Now there are still people who dare to spread that story!Jia Zhen was furious.If he really did something, let people spread the word, apart from being a little embarrassed when facing his son, it would be considered a sexual affair.But things that he wasn't even sure about, let people talk about them clearly, and even talked about the time and place in all kinds of ways, Jia Zhen couldn't bear it!
Now when he thinks about what happened that day, all he sees is the old woman's face, and he is going to be blamed?Jia Zhen, who had been tortured by the injury and had no patience, turned all her anger on the servant who dared to gossip about her master.
Check it out, check it out for the uncle, and see who is the one who dared to arrange the master so recklessly!
No matter how the outside world judges, Jia Zhen still has a unique existence in Ningguo Mansion.With his order, the entire Ningguo Mansion took action.First of all, servants are not allowed to go home during working hours at will, and they are not allowed to whisper to each other at ordinary times.Walk with at least three people so that they can supervise each other.
This is only on the surface, there are Jia Zhen's cronies in the dark, to find out the source of the rumor.Don't say that it's been a long time, no one remembers who said it, it's been less than half a day, okay?Anyone who has passed it on will be locked in the woodshed together, and make it clear who he heard it from, and what is the purpose of passing it on by himself!
It's okay if you don't check, but in the end, after checking, it even vaguely pointed to the big butler Lai Sheng!
This matter can be huh.It should be said that Jia Zhen believed in Li Sheng, but when he did that matter, he knew it was a scandal, and the fewer people who knew it, the better.Besides, it was the inner courtyard again, and Lai Sheng couldn't get in without a summons!His uncle doesn't have any special hobbies, and he has to be watched by others when he does his work? !
While waiting for Lai Sheng to come over, Jia Zhen couldn't help thinking more.The reason why Lai Sheng was able to become the chief steward of Ningguo Mansion was not only because of his own talents, but also because of Jia Mu's strong recommendation to Jia Jing that day.If it is said that Lai Sheng is not grateful to Jia's mother, Jia Zhen does not believe it at all.
Think about Lai Sheng's aunt again, but Jia Mu's dowry girl was born, and his cousin is Lai Da from Rongguo Mansion.Jia Zhen was not calm anymore.What is Rongguo Mansion going to do?Is he looking at himself breaking up with his master, thinking of making trouble, or is he going to use the Ningguo Mansion to surrender to the present?
Thinking a lot when she was sick, Jia Zhen had a lot to do, and she thought more.In the midst of gloom and uncertainty, Lai Sheng had already arrived at his room.Asking her confidant to guard the door, Jia Zhen stared at the loyal butler in front of her. That gloomy gaze made Lai Sheng, who was originally deeply in his heart, sweat coldly on his back.
"Before the master went to practice Taoism, he said that you were an honest person and let you be the housekeeper of the mansion, right?" Jia Zhen asked.
Lai Sheng didn't expect him to start the conversation here, so he nodded, "Yes, it's all thanks to the master's cultivation and his trust."
Jia Zhen sneered: "It's a pity that my trust is given to the dog."
Lai Sheng was annoyed in his heart, but he knelt down on his face: "Master, what are you talking about. Since I became the housekeeper, I have worked hard and taken care of everything in the house. I have not failed my master's trust."
Jia Zhen sneered again: "Have you not betrayed Master's trust? Then Master asked you, what did you say to Zheng Cai? What did your mother-in-law say to Zheng Cai's family and Li Lai's family?"
Lai Sheng called out injustice: "Master, check clearly. If the slave really dares to arrange the master, how can he be worthy of the master's love for the slave to help the master. It is because the servants watched the slave gain the trust of the master, and wanted to take the slave away. Only then did you pour all the dirty water on the servant, sir."
Jia Zhen was still stubborn when she heard him, and because her elder brother Wang Zhuer brought him all the conclusive evidence and witnesses to question him.So when he got angry for a while, he stood up trembling slightly, and was about to kick Lai Sheng.It's just that he was injured, and Zhu'er had fed the Eighteenth Rebellion for more than half a month, how could he have such strength?
Jia Zhen, who had just stood up, fell straight beside the bed with a thud.Coincidentally, the sun just hit the edge of the pedal, blood flowed for a while, and life or death was unknown.
When I entered the room, I saw that neither of their aunts and nephews spoke, so I had to ask: "What's the matter, could it be that you got angry in that mansion?"
Xichun hurriedly said with a smile: "It's not that I'm angry, it's just that I'm thinking about inviting my sisters to come over for a while, which means I'm coming home. Who knows, she said that the family is in a mess about my brother's business now. , It’s better to wait a few days for my brother to recover, and then invite the sisters to come over.”
It was only then that Youshi knew that it was two people who had disagreements.I thought what Qin Keqing said was reasonable, but I couldn't bear to dismiss Xichun's first request when he came back.Yin said to Qin Keqing:
"You're right. It's just your father-in-law's place, so you don't need to worry about your aunt. Even if you invite the imperial doctor, you will only go to my yard, and then let their sisters just play in the garden. Your aunt finally returned Once you have entered your own home, you should invite your sisters."
If you are so unprincipled and used to it, aren't you afraid of pampering a savage girl?Qin Keqing regretted that she let these two people get close. If Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu came again, she would find someone to reason with.But Xichun was able to think of a reason to prevaricate Youshi so quickly, it can be seen that her mind is very clear.This move may not be because I asked her to notify Lin Daiyu as soon as possible, so I pretended to meditate.
"My mother-in-law is right, but I was wrong." After Qin Keqing finished speaking, she gave Xi Chunfu a blessing, which was an apology for what she had never said just now - You Shi is here, it is not good for her to do this The younger generation's words and deeds were wrong, but they didn't show it at all.
Xichun accepted her gift with some unease, which made Youshi laugh: "Although you are young, you are also her aunt. Why can't you bear this gift? Just be stubborn in front of me, and it won't work if you go to others, right?" .”
"Sister-in-law." Xichun called out resolutely.
But Qin Keqing said to Youshi: "I heard that there is a servant next to my father-in-law, who is the elder brother who is in the painting. Others' mother-in-law is not easy to meet. I think it is my aunt's elder brother. It is not a problem for us to meet. Just ask him to come over. Ask what happened that day, why did General Feng just whip the whip?"
Since I brought Jia Zhen back yesterday, I have been busy asking for medical advice and medicine for him, and no one has bothered to ask about the details at that time.When Qin Keqing mentioned it like this, You Shi naturally felt that it was reasonable.In addition, she knew that although she had the ability to be a housekeeper, she was not as fine as Qin Keqing, so she asked people to find her elder brother who was in the painting.
Ruhua heard that she was looking for her brother, and her face was a little nervous. Even if she didn't know why Grandma Xiao Rong suddenly asked to see her brother, she also knew that something happened to the uncle yesterday, and the brother who followed the uncle might be in trouble. Not good.A pair of eyes only looked at his own girl.
Xichun was even more confused, she knew that Qin Keqing didn't want to ask about Jia Zhen's situation, she wanted to investigate whether the painting's elder brother was reliable.It's just that she didn't have much contact with this young man, but she heard that Ru Hua said he was a tight-lipped guy, so she asked someone to send a letter for her on impulse.If Qin Keqing was about to get angry with this slave, what would she do?
Don't save her, don't say that Ruhua is her big girl, but she doesn't care about her face.It was only said that the slave acted on her orders, and she couldn't ignore it.
Seeing the entanglement on Xichun's face, Qin Keqing didn't say anything to comfort her: Everyone should be responsible for what they have done, and she will use this matter to let Xichun know that everything should be thought twice before acting , not impulsive.
After thinking about it, Ruhua's elder brother had already been brought here. After asking, he found out that Ruhua's surname was Wang, and his elder brother's name was Wang Zhu'er.Listening to Youshi asking him about yesterday's situation, this boy opened his mouth and came over: "Yesterday, the servants of each family also followed suit, but later the uncle of the Wei family said that the smell was not good due to the crowd, so he sent the servants to wait outside the door In less than a moment, I heard a high-pitched sound from inside, as if someone was arguing. The servants were still wondering, in the past, even if the uncles were drunk, it would only happen after an hour or two. Why is it like this today? quick?"
"Just as I was talking, I heard our uncle's voice was wrong, and asked aloud how you beat someone. The servants didn't listen well, and they rushed in regardless of whether the other masters were willing or not. I saw Master Feng They are whipping our uncle, and they are talking about giving our uncle a lesson, it is rare to see one love the other."
Youshi's face was a bit unsightly, thinking that Jia Zhen must have competed with Feng Tang to cause this matter.Qin Keqing's heart was secretly happy, this Feng Tang was always rough and subtle, and his words were also eloquent. If you understand, you understand yourself, but if you don't understand, it's useless to listen to everything.
It's a pity.Qin Keqing sighed: "Why don't you just say stop you when you go in? Look at the wounds on the uncle's body, it's not a matter of one whip and two whips."
Wang Zhu'er called out to Qu: "Why don't the slaves want to take the place of the master? But General Feng is so powerful that the other masters on the field and the people they follow are also at odds. After the draw is over, we must be the master. Let the uncle use silver to redeem the crime. Our uncle seems to be quite afraid of General Feng, he said [-], so Bao Er came back and took [-]."
You Shi slapped the table, thinking of the white silver, his heart ached: "Who urged the uncle to go out?"
Wang Zhu'er hurriedly said: "It wasn't the slaves who pushed it, it was actually the uncle who accepted the post from the master of the Wei family, and then went out."
It seems that this is a trick for Jia Zhen.That's fine, it's convenient for Qin Keqing to do tricks, but is this the one doing tricks? With a "snap", Wang Zhuer's face froze for a moment.Everyone in the room was startled suddenly by Qin Keqing, who had always shown himself to be peaceful.Even Wang Zhu'er didn't feel the pain on his face, he was only worried that if he made Grandma Xiao Rong mad again, then he and his sister would not be able to stay in the house.
Shaking her numb hand in secret, Qin Keqing once again expressed concern about the quality of this body, but her face was extremely angry: "For such a slave, thanks to the uncle, he still regards him as a reliable person. I don't know, but I still have the face to complain about my master!"
Youshi's worry was similar to that of Wang Zhu'er: "Forget it, he is always the person in front of your father-in-law, why should you bother with him. Just take care of yourself. If you let this slave get angry again, there will be more and less."
Xichun only thought of Qin Keqing's slap because she was annoyed by Wang Zhu'er delivering the letter for her, she dared not make a sound like a little quail, and avoided looking at Ruhua's eyes asking for help.Qin Keqing knew that she was a bit rough and her moves were a little old, but as a young mistress, how could she physically touch other men besides this move?
You Shi had no intention of asking any more questions, so he only asked Wang Zhu'er to go back to serve Jia Zhen, and told him not to talk nonsense.Then he took the initiative to turn the topic back to Xichun's banquet for the sisters, where to sit up, where to enjoy the scenery in autumn, and how to care for vegetables.Always keep Qin Keqing from thinking about what happened just now.
It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.But Qin Keqing didn't feel any guilt about killing You's husband at all.
Yes, if Jia Zhen died, Youshi's life would have to be as good as it is now.But it was precisely because Jia Zhen was about to die suddenly, and there was no time to explain many things to Jia Rong, so that the behind-the-scenes matters would not be involved in Ning Guofu, so that Ning Guofu could use this to get out of the boat.
Even if the Rongguo Mansion might be implicated in the future, the Ningguo Mansion will have changed from the main criminal to the accessory criminal by then. There may be house raids, but beheading will definitely not happen.Youshi will always have Jia Rong to take care of her for the elderly, and there is also a Xichun who is getting closer to her to rely on each other, which is how many times stronger than in the original book!
And if Jia Zhen had died earlier, You would not have to watch her husband flirt with his sister, nor be insulted by Wang Xifeng. Thinking about Qin Keqing, she felt that Jia Zhen could have died earlier.
As for the fact that they will have nothing to live after the ransacking of the house?Hehe, she, Qin Keqing, has thought so much about the future, and she still has a secret guard in her hand who is elusive, transfers some dowry, and buys some property in private, so she still has to say it every day?I'm afraid I can use Feng Tang's matter to get the person behind it to send another sum of money.
Having made up her mind, Qin Keqing laughed and feasted with Youshi and Xichun.That night, Baozhu was asked to bring out a letter to the hidden guard. The letter only said that Ningguo Mansion was in a hurry because of Feng Tang Suoyin this time.Now Jia Zhen has returned home, and for the sake of reputation, she thought of searching for the dowry of You Shi and herself, so as to pay back the money borrowed from others.
Qin Keqing dared to write this letter because the people behind her were thinking about the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and stuffed a lot of things into Qin Keqing's dowry, just in case things didn't work out and there was a retreat.So Qin Keqing was sure that the man must not have wanted Qin Keqing's dowry to fall into Jia Zhen's eyes.
Maybe he doesn't know Jia Zhen's dirty thoughts about Qin Keqing, but he must know the reason why gold and silk touch people's hearts.If Jia Zhen saw Qin Keqing's hidden things, the money collected from Ningguo Mansion over the years might be returned.
Sure enough, when Baozhu came back from visiting relatives the next day, she handed Qin Keqing a letter. There was not a single word in the letter, but there was a thick stack of silver notes, worth 5 taels.But Qing's heart is full of contempt, this is half of the meeting, or is it a reward for reporting this merit?
With this sum of money, the dark guard was busy again.First, he found some medicinal materials that had the opposite properties and similar shapes to Jia Zhen's medicine, and handed them to Jia Zhen's own confidant, Wang Zhuer.Then, in places with long-term effects outside Beijing, some fields were collected wantonly.Waiting for Qin Keqing to calculate that the annual income of these fields can reach about [-] taels before making him stop.
Having money is a good thing, but having too much money will attract people's attention.The worst-case scenario in the future is that Jia Rong will be left with nothing left. Even if Lin Ruhai will take care of Xichun for the sake of Xichun's face, the county magistrate may not be as good as he is now.Besides, these fields are not needed now, as they grow year after year, even Xichun's future dowry will be ready.
When thinking of dowry, one should also think of the unavoidable topic of who Xichun will marry in the future.In the original book, she grew up in the Rongguo Mansion, so she could blame Jia Shitou for her bad reputation—who told him to show off the sisters' poems no matter who they were facing.But now she will grow up in Ningguo Mansion and receive You Shi's upbringing.
Speaking it out naturally did not make Jia's mother, the super-class Duke and Duchess, educate her well.It's just that Qin Keqing doesn't regret it, at least Xichun doesn't have to live with Jia Shitou in the Grand View Garden again.
By the way, why is Jia Xiande still not a concubine at this time?Qin Keqing, who had lost her mind, wondered if she, a butterfly, was really so powerful that she even wiped out Jia Yuanchun's great fortune?Or is it because he is still alive, so he can't feel the sincerity of the Rongguo Mansion?
She wondered here, she didn't know that there was a person in Rongguo Mansion who was more anxious than her.This person was Jia Yuanchun's biological mother, and she revealed to Jia Yuanchun that Qin Keqing might be the illegitimate daughter of the deposed prince, so that she could take this opportunity to surrender to the present Mrs. Wang.
From Mrs. Wang's point of view, as long as she heard Jia Yuanchun's report today, she would try her best to investigate and then remove Qin Keqing.And her daughter will also be able to become a master because of this first confession!
At that time, Mrs. Wang thought bitterly, by then, whether it was this mansion or that Ningguo mansion, wouldn't everyone have to obey her daughter's orders? !As Jia Yuanchun's spokesperson, Mrs. Wang can laugh out loud just thinking about it.
The premise of just wanting to laugh is to find out the real evidence of Qin Keqing's identity now.Could it be that she heard wrong?Mrs. Wang was thinking uncertainly, she heard the confession of the old lady when she prayed to Buddha that day, so how could she be wrong?If it's true, why haven't the royal people made a move yet?
Could it be?Another possibility came to Mrs. Wang's mind.Do you feel that just one piece of news does not mean that the Rongguo Mansion has truly surrendered?That's it, that's it...
Mrs. Wang's thinking was confused.She wanted to let her grandson also have the most noble blood in the world, and then let her become the prince's natal family, so that Jia Shitou could be cared for by the prince's nephew.But now Mrs. Wang feels that all of this has to be based on the fact that Qin Keqing cannot exist.This person is in Ningguo Mansion, not Rongguo Mansion.This person is the young mistress of Ningguo Mansion, not Aunt Zhao and the like can let her grind.
Even if her hands were not clean, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to think about it.That is the blood of the royal family, even if the birth mother is humble, but the father is noble.Even if he is dead, he has not seen his half-brother, and he has been named the king of the county. Isn't it something ordinary people dare to provoke?
It's just a girl from a brothel, if the county king really valued this younger sister, he wouldn't let her come from a Yangshengtang, right?Mrs. Wang thought uncertainly.She only admitted at this time that facing such a thing, she was still not as good as Jia Mu in terms of vision and decision-making ability.
Looking at Mrs. Wang, who looked like a nun in front of her, but her words were killing people everywhere, Jiamu sighed inwardly.Regardless of her, since the day Yuanchun entered the palace, her family has been betrayed by the county king.But really care about her?Didn't you see that Jia Zhen asked Feng Tang to whip the whip two days ago? !
Others may think that Feng Tang is a little ruthless, but since Jia Zhen insisted on bringing Xichun back to Ningguo Mansion, Jia's mother knew that the county king must have ordered this matter.If not, how could Feng Tang disregard the old face of two or three lifetimes, and care about a nephew.
Gritting her teeth, Mother Jia made a decision: Don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind.Want to scare the Rongguo Mansion?Let me see if you really care about your lowly little sister so much: "I heard that Zhen'er is really outrageous, and she usually draws all the dirty and smelly things around her. How do you listen to that? The people in the house are vaguely implicated in Rong's daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Wang didn't understand Jia's mother's meaning at first, but when she figured it out, she was taken aback. If the news really got out, then the Jia family's reputation would be ruined: "Old lady?" She admitted this. It's a one-stroke killer, but it can't kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred.
Mother Jia said to her impatiently: "I think that Rong's daughter-in-law has a graceful figure and a coquettish manner. I'm afraid it has something to do with her original background. If that's the case, how do you know that she and Jia Zhen don't have such thoughts? It's not really what people say, but let the slaves in the mansion remind her by her side first, then you..." The rest of the things need to be taught by my mother? !
Older gingers are more spicy.Mrs. Wang had to sigh.Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, if it is first reported from the Ningguo Mansion, Youshi and Jia Rong will not be able to introduce her!If she was a temperamental person, she would naturally prove her innocence by death.But what if it's shameless?Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, and she didn't mind letting her know that she had a face.
Just when Qin Keqing was thinking about how to complete her task as soon as possible, and by the way, add more security to Youshi and Xichun, some discordant voices secretly came out from the servants of Ningguo Mansion.It was Wang Zhu'er who devoted herself to Qin Keqing as the master since she was given the loyalty talisman. Every time she heard those remarks, she told Qin Keqing, and by the way, told the other protagonist of the story, Jia Zhen, who was not improving despite her injuries.
Speaking of which, Jia Zhen was really aggrieved.It was just a dinner as usual, but in the end, I was injured all over, and I got an extra 10 taels of silver. 10 taels, his Ningguo Mansion has almost been emptied by people over the years, and he doesn't know if they can take out another 10 taels when they come to collect money from him at the end of this year.
What annoyed him even more was that he was obviously only traumatized—Feng Tang didn't dare to really hurt him—but who knew that after more than half a month of raising him, he didn't see any improvement at all.The imperial physicians changed one after another, and they all said that his pulse condition was stable, as long as he was patient and rested for a few days, he could recover.
But what about recovery?He has been lying in bed for almost half a month, and he can't even get out of bed, and his energy is getting worse day by day, which makes him start to wonder whether the imperial doctor he hired was instigated by someone to deliberately prevent himself from getting out of bed. Get better so quickly.
Now there are still people who dare to spread that story!Jia Zhen was furious.If he really did something, let people spread the word, apart from being a little embarrassed when facing his son, it would be considered a sexual affair.But things that he wasn't even sure about, let people talk about them clearly, and even talked about the time and place in all kinds of ways, Jia Zhen couldn't bear it!
Now when he thinks about what happened that day, all he sees is the old woman's face, and he is going to be blamed?Jia Zhen, who had been tortured by the injury and had no patience, turned all her anger on the servant who dared to gossip about her master.
Check it out, check it out for the uncle, and see who is the one who dared to arrange the master so recklessly!
No matter how the outside world judges, Jia Zhen still has a unique existence in Ningguo Mansion.With his order, the entire Ningguo Mansion took action.First of all, servants are not allowed to go home during working hours at will, and they are not allowed to whisper to each other at ordinary times.Walk with at least three people so that they can supervise each other.
This is only on the surface, there are Jia Zhen's cronies in the dark, to find out the source of the rumor.Don't say that it's been a long time, no one remembers who said it, it's been less than half a day, okay?Anyone who has passed it on will be locked in the woodshed together, and make it clear who he heard it from, and what is the purpose of passing it on by himself!
It's okay if you don't check, but in the end, after checking, it even vaguely pointed to the big butler Lai Sheng!
This matter can be huh.It should be said that Jia Zhen believed in Li Sheng, but when he did that matter, he knew it was a scandal, and the fewer people who knew it, the better.Besides, it was the inner courtyard again, and Lai Sheng couldn't get in without a summons!His uncle doesn't have any special hobbies, and he has to be watched by others when he does his work? !
While waiting for Lai Sheng to come over, Jia Zhen couldn't help thinking more.The reason why Lai Sheng was able to become the chief steward of Ningguo Mansion was not only because of his own talents, but also because of Jia Mu's strong recommendation to Jia Jing that day.If it is said that Lai Sheng is not grateful to Jia's mother, Jia Zhen does not believe it at all.
Think about Lai Sheng's aunt again, but Jia Mu's dowry girl was born, and his cousin is Lai Da from Rongguo Mansion.Jia Zhen was not calm anymore.What is Rongguo Mansion going to do?Is he looking at himself breaking up with his master, thinking of making trouble, or is he going to use the Ningguo Mansion to surrender to the present?
Thinking a lot when she was sick, Jia Zhen had a lot to do, and she thought more.In the midst of gloom and uncertainty, Lai Sheng had already arrived at his room.Asking her confidant to guard the door, Jia Zhen stared at the loyal butler in front of her. That gloomy gaze made Lai Sheng, who was originally deeply in his heart, sweat coldly on his back.
"Before the master went to practice Taoism, he said that you were an honest person and let you be the housekeeper of the mansion, right?" Jia Zhen asked.
Lai Sheng didn't expect him to start the conversation here, so he nodded, "Yes, it's all thanks to the master's cultivation and his trust."
Jia Zhen sneered: "It's a pity that my trust is given to the dog."
Lai Sheng was annoyed in his heart, but he knelt down on his face: "Master, what are you talking about. Since I became the housekeeper, I have worked hard and taken care of everything in the house. I have not failed my master's trust."
Jia Zhen sneered again: "Have you not betrayed Master's trust? Then Master asked you, what did you say to Zheng Cai? What did your mother-in-law say to Zheng Cai's family and Li Lai's family?"
Lai Sheng called out injustice: "Master, check clearly. If the slave really dares to arrange the master, how can he be worthy of the master's love for the slave to help the master. It is because the servants watched the slave gain the trust of the master, and wanted to take the slave away. Only then did you pour all the dirty water on the servant, sir."
Jia Zhen was still stubborn when she heard him, and because her elder brother Wang Zhuer brought him all the conclusive evidence and witnesses to question him.So when he got angry for a while, he stood up trembling slightly, and was about to kick Lai Sheng.It's just that he was injured, and Zhu'er had fed the Eighteenth Rebellion for more than half a month, how could he have such strength?
Jia Zhen, who had just stood up, fell straight beside the bed with a thud.Coincidentally, the sun just hit the edge of the pedal, blood flowed for a while, and life or death was unknown.
