Now, Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, Xiangling and Ying'er were all pleasantly surprised.
When Jia Yun saw Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai in Rongqing Hall, he was not surprised. He had already heard the Lin Zhixiao family explain the situation before coming.
Jia Yun stepped forward and said respectfully to Jia Mu: "I've met the old lady!"
Mother Jia pointed to Aunt Xue: "This is Aunt Xue, the biological sister of the second wife in the house. Because she said she was robbed by a group of thieves on the road, and the whole family was almost killed. Fortunately, there was a first-class palace guard from Shenjing City.
If he was rescued in time, we guessed that it might be you, and now it seems that it is indeed you."
Jia Yun immediately saluted Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue quickly stood up and walked forward, saying enthusiastically: "Quickly excuse me. Brother has been very kind to us. How dare I accept your courtesy?"
Jia Mu smiled and said, "No matter how much kindness he shows to you, he is now your junior here with me. He is two generations younger than you in terms of seniority."
When she said this, Mother Jia felt so proud. Look, this brother we have trained is so promising. He not only saved Aunt Xue's family, but also saved so much property!
At this time, Xue Baochai suppressed her shyness and stepped forward to give a blessing gift to Jia Yun: "Thank you, Master, for saving your life."
On the day of the incident, Xue Baochai did not salute and thank Jia Yun in person. She was thinking about it in her heart. Now that they were seeing each other again and they were related by relatives, she came up and thanked her solemnly.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Sister, don't be too polite. Although our brother is a very powerful man, in terms of seniority, he also needs to call you 'aunt', Aunt Baochai!"
Wang Xifeng emphasized the words "Aunt Baochai", which made everyone in the hall laugh.
First of all, Wang Xifeng has made fun of her like this several times, which seems funny.
Secondly, although Xue Baochai is older than Lin Daiyu and Sanchun, she is two years younger than Jia Yun. And Jia Yun is already of high status now, so calling her Aunt Xue Baochai seems funny.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun smiled at Xue Baochai and said, "I think this girl is not older than me, and you and I are not blood relatives. I will not call you aunt from now on."
Jia Yun then looked at Jia Mu: "Old lady, please forgive me for my offense this time."
I thought to myself: Xue Baochai, I will never call her aunt!
Jia Yun and Xue Baochai are not related by blood.
Aunt Xue is Mrs. Wang's biological sister and has no blood relationship with Jia Yun.
In fact, Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are all closely related by blood. Mrs. Wang is the biological sister of Xue Baochai's mother, and Jia Zheng is the biological brother of Lin Daiyu's mother.
Jia Yun has no blood relationship with Xue Baochai, and her blood relationship with Lin Daiyu is also very shallow.
Jia's mother was surprised when she heard this. In the past, Jia Yun had no objection to calling her Sanchun and Lin Daiyu her aunt, but this time Jia Yun actually objected.
However, Jia Mu thinks what Jia Yun said makes sense. Jia Yun and Xue Baochai are not related by blood, so there is really no need to call her aunt. Moreover, Jia Yun's status is now noble. It seems inappropriate to call a young lady like Xue Baochai, who is two years younger, aunt.
.
In fact, now when Jia Yun meets Sanchun, Lin Daiyu rarely calls her aunt. People in the Jia family have acquiesced in this kind of thing, but they all think it is strange to call them aunt.
Without waiting for Jia Mu's response, Aunt Xue quickly smiled and said: "Brother is right, this girl shouldn't be called aunt."
Jia Mu smiled and smoothed things over by saying, "You are so stubborn."
Mother Jia smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "This brother of ours has always been a left-minded person, but those who have always been capable have always been somewhat left-minded."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "What the old lady said makes sense."
Aunt Xue immediately said: "This brother has been very kind to our Xue family this time. We wanted to express our gratitude, but we gave him fifty taels of gold before and he didn't ask for it. Now we know that he is a brother of your house."
I am even more grateful."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Now that you know he is our elder brother, you don't need to thank him. Otherwise, wouldn't we be happy?"
Aunt Xue said: "That can't be done. We must thank him deeply, otherwise we will feel very sorry. But I don't think this brother likes such vulgar things as money, and I don't know how to thank him deeply."
Mother Jia smiled and said, "He used to like money. Just because his family was in trouble at that time, I didn't reward him with less money. But now he has made a lot of money through merchants."
Aunt Xue was surprised again when she heard this: "Is this brother still talented as a merchant?"
Immediately, Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng talked about Jia Yun's affairs with merchants.
I heard that pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, pencil erasers, toothbrushes, toothpastes, dental floss, and toothpicks were all manufactured by Jia Yun and her friends...
Not only Aunt Xue was surprised, but Xue Baochai, Xiangling, and Ying'er were also surprised. They all use these products and each have their own favorites.
For example, Xue Baochai likes pencils, pencil sharpeners, pencil erasers, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
(Note: This book may be renamed "Surprise in Red Mansions". The word "surprise" appears too many times. It's not that the author is short of words, but that the author thinks these two words are more useful, eh...)
Aunt Xue insisted on thanking Jia Yun this time, not only because she wanted to repay her kindness, but also because she valued Jia Yun in her heart and thought that being friends with Jia Yun might be good for the Xue family.
But now Aunt Xue values Jia Yun even more, and thinks that being on good terms with Jia Yun may be more beneficial to the Xue family.
The Xue family has a huge fortune, but Aunt Xue only has one son, Xue Pan, and Xue Pan is a very incompetent and stupid overlord who has no ability to take care of the huge fortune.
Aunt Xue has been worried about this, and even Xue Baochai is worried about it.
Now that she heard that Jia Yun has such a great talent as a merchant, Aunt Xue felt that once she became good friends with Jia Yun and had a close relationship, Jia Yun should be able to help the Xue family in the future.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue looked at Jia Yun and said with a smile: "Brother, what do you like best? Just tell me, even if it's a shop or a house, I can use it to thank you."
At this time, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Auntie, you don't know that our brother Yun likes maids the most. He has asked others for maids several times, so our old lady rewarded him with two good ones.
"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in Rongqing Hall. Many maids, wives, and mothers-in-law laughed, even Sanchun laughed.
Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai: "..."
Jia Yun was not ashamed, but echoed with a smile: "Second sister-in-law still understands me, yes, concubine, my favorite is the maid."
Jia Yun then asked Aunt Xue: "Madam, I wonder what you call the maid behind you?"
Aunt Xue said: "Xiangling."
After Jia Yun confirmed in her heart, she smiled and said: "I think this Xiangling is very good. Not only does it look very good, but since she is the maid next to my concubine, she must also have good conduct. I just don't know if my concubine is willing to give it to me."
As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of laughter in Rongqing Hall.
If other brothers had said such things in this situation, even Jia Baoyu would have been considered rude, but when Jia Yun said such things, no one thought so, and many people found it funny.
Because Jia Yun likes to find other people to ask for maids, it is well-known in Rongguo Mansion. The fact that Jia Yun asked Aunt Lai to ask for Qingwen has also spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion.
Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai: "..."
Xiangling lowered her head.
Jia Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Yun, please don't be rude to my concubine. Although she is related to our family, she is a guest after all. You just came here today, so you should ask her to be a good maid."
"Fortunately, you are still the number one scholar in martial arts, and now you are a military attache of the third rank. You don't know how to restrain yourself on this kind of thing. If you are not ashamed, I will be ashamed on your behalf!"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "My aunt asked me what I like best, and my second sister-in-law said that I like maids the most, so I admitted it truthfully. If I didn't admit it, wouldn't I be deceiving my aunt?"
Wang Xifeng: "..."
She suddenly felt like she was being used!
Being smart and sensitive, she had already seen that Jia Yun really wanted the maid behind Aunt Xue. She first mentioned that he liked the maid, and he followed her words and asked for her, haha!
Jia Mu couldn't even laugh or cry.
Jia Yun continued to smile and said: "I saw that the maid behind my concubine is indeed very nice. Of course, I just said it casually, thinking that my concubine would not be willing to give her to me."
Jia Mu had to deliberately keep a straight face: "Brother Yun, don't be rude to my concubine!"
Jia Yun also returned to her seriousness: "Yes, old lady."
In fact, he has always been serious.
He took it as a serious matter to ask the Xue family to hand over Xiang Ling, but such a serious matter needed to be said in a joking manner on today's occasion.
He originally planned to ask Xue Pan to hand over Xiang Ling, but now that Aunt Xue insisted on thanking him in front of everyone in Rongguo Mansion, he was not polite.
If it fails this time, then Jia Yun will go to Xue Pan again...
Jia Yun apologized to Aunt Xue: "Auntie, the old lady knows that I have always been a left-minded person. If I have offended me in any way, please forgive me."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "No offense, I feel that my brother is an honest man. But although this Xiangling is my maid, it was brought home by my son. I will tell my son later, if he
If you are willing, I will give it to you."
Aunt Xue's doting on Xue Pan is not much different from Jia Mu's doting on Jia Baoyu.
If Xiangling was just a maid trained by Aunt Xue, she would have been given to Jia Yun right now, but Aunt Xue knew that Xue Pan loved Xiangling very much, and she even caused trouble for a life in Jinling because of this. In this case,
Out of her doting love for Xue Pan, Aunt Xue would not hand over Xiang Ling easily.
Jia Mu smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "Don't take Brother Yun's words seriously. He is just joking with you. I think the maid behind you is very nice, not to mention that your son likes her. How can you let her go?"
Gave it to Brother Yun."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Old lady, just now I said that I wanted to thank Brother Yun a lot, and I asked him what he likes best. Now that I have said these words, it is difficult to take them back, otherwise I will become a liar.
And those who have no faith? I won’t dare to be intimate with my husband anymore.”
Mother Jia didn't try to persuade her any more. When she looked at Jia Yun again, she once again felt that this guy was a bit unpleasant.
In my mind: It’s just as easy for you to ask me for a maid, it’s the same as asking Aunt Lai for a maid, but now you’re asking Aunt Xue for a maid, huh!
