Jia Baoyu was really persistent at times, but what is certain is that his persistence was usually related to women.
Jia Baoyu, who still refused to give up, continued to trouble Jia Mu and asked her to send people to Cao Mansion to get Zicuckoo back.
Mother Jia really felt a headache this time. She went to the Cao Mansion to ask for a maid? What she wanted was the maid she had already rewarded? The reward was Jia Yun, Wu Xiao Sanyuan, a young man who should be well cultivated by the Jia Mansion now?
Although the Cao Mansion is not as good as the Jia Mansion in terms of family status and wealth, it is much better than the Jia Mansion in terms of official positions and titles.
The Cao family was also a famous and wealthy family in the Qing Dynasty, and it still held great power in the officialdom.
No matter how much Jia Mu dotes on Jia Baoyu, as long as she is not really an old fool, she will not do such a shameful thing. This will not only embarrass her face, but also the face of the Jia family and even the entire Jia family.
If her husband Jia Daishan were still alive, he would not allow her to do such a thing.
But Jia Mu also really doted on Jia Baoyu.
In desperation, Jia's mother took a compromise and sent Lin Zhixiao's family and two servants to Jia Yun's house in Xiaohuazhi Lane to guard the house.
Jia Mu wants to come. Jia Yun will definitely go home after going to Cao Mansion for dinner and celebration today. Once she gets home, she will immediately take Zijuan back to her home.
We can't let Zicuckoo spend the night at Jia Yun's place tonight. It would be inappropriate to come back once the night is over.
Since Jia Baoyu liked Zicuckoo so much, Jia Mu had already planned to persuade Zicuckoo herself after getting Zicuckoo back. Even if Zicuckoo still felt too embarrassed, she would not care about her attitude and directly reward her to Jia Baoyu.
Just be a maid. If she really commits suicide, it won't matter. She is just a maid.
However, if Zicuckoo spends the night at Jia Yun's place tonight, Jia Mu will not allow her to be Jia Baoyu's maid. Even if she continues to stay with her, Jia Mu will not like her.
…
…
Cao's Mansion is a military officer's residence, and the etiquette is not as strict as that of Jia's Mansion. Jia Yun has also been to Cao's Mansion several times, stayed for two nights, and met Cao Wu's father, Cao Wei, twice, and Cao Wei also appreciated him.
To Jia Yun, although Cao Mansion is also a wealthy family, it feels more like the home of her good friend Cao Wu.
Regarding Cao Mansion, Jia Yun does not need to be very restrained.
Jia Yun knew that even if he showed up unexpectedly without making an appointment in advance, the Cao Mansion would not be dissatisfied with him, and Cao Wu would be eager to celebrate with him on this happy day for both of them.
Cao Mansion is not very far from Xiaohuazhi Lane but not close either.
It was almost evening when Jia Yun and her party arrived at Cao Mansion.
The Cao Mansion is much smaller than the Rongguo Mansion in scale, but its layout is similar. It also has a main entrance, an east corner door, and a west corner door. The main entrance is not open unless there is an important event, and the west corner door is most used.
At this time, Jia Yun rode a black horse and a carriage to the west corner gate.
Different from the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, the gatekeepers of Cao Mansion are not lazy gatekeepers, but soldiers who are armed and ready.
When Jia Yun went to see Ni Hu for the first time, there were two soldiers standing at the gate of Ni Hu's second house, ready to go.
Currently, there are five guards standing at the west corner gate of Cao's mansion, five guards standing at the east corner gate, ten guards standing at the main entrance, and there are still many guards inside the mansion.
Ni Hu was only a fifth-grade guard officer, while Cao Wei was a first-grade guard officer. There was a big difference in their military attache grades.
Almost all of the five soldiers at the west corner gate were familiar with Jia Yun. When Jia Yun said she wanted to see Cao Wu, one of the soldiers immediately came to the house to inform him. There was no need for a bribe at all.
This is also different from the Rongguo Mansion. The gatekeepers of the Rongguo Mansion often accept bribes, and sometimes even take the initiative to ask for bribes from guests. However, the guards of the Cao Mansion are prohibited from accepting bribes, let alone actively asking for bribes. Cao Wei has strict management on such matters.
, but Cao Wei will not treat his soldiers badly, and the income of his soldiers is not low.
While waiting at the door, Jia Yun politely asked the coachman to go away. He came to the window, opened the curtains and faced the attackers in the car. Zijuan said, "I have something to confess to you."
Both girls were curious, and Zijuan asked, "Second Master, what's going on?"
Jia Yun said: "In my head, I said that Cao Wu and I agreed to celebrate together today, which is a lie. In fact, we did not make an appointment. I decided to bring you to Cao Mansion at the last minute."
Xiren was surprised: "Why did the second master do this?"
Jia Yun said calmly: "I was worried that the old lady in my house would take back my life and take you back, so I took you to Cao's Mansion to escape. I finally got you today. If the old lady takes you back,
Then my work today will be in vain."
Xiren, Zijuan: "..."
Immediately, Xi Ren and Zicuckoo burst out laughing, saying something in their hearts: The Second Master is so bad!
However, both of them felt a sense of security in their hearts, because they were both willing to follow Jia Yun. In their view, Jia Yun's behavior could be regarded as a kind of protection for them.
Jia Yun continued calmly: "Today we will not only have dinner at Cao's Mansion, but if nothing else happens, we will also stay here for one night. I'm thinking, you two will spend the night here with me tonight.
It wouldn’t be appropriate for my wife to take you back, so she probably won’t take them back.”
Xiren, Zijuan: "..."
Immediately, Xiren and Zicuckoo blushed a little, and thought of Jia Yun in their hearts.
Jia Yun still said calmly: "I am confessing to you now because I don't want to force anyone into trouble. If either of you two doesn't want to be my maid and wants to go back to my house, I can ask the carriage to take her back to Xiaohuazhi Lane. If the old lady really
If you send someone to ask for someone, you can go back home."
Attacking people, Zijuan lowered his head in unison, his face turned red, and he didn't say a word.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I will count to three. If you don't say anything after counting three, I will assume that you are all willing to be my maids."
After saying that, Jia Yun started counting. As soon as she finished counting "one", Xiren mustered up the courage to look up at him: "Second Master, please stop counting. I am willing."
Zijuan also raised her head and said: "Second Master, I am willing too."
Jia Yun smiled happily.
He confessed to the two maids this time not only to prevent the two maids from not knowing the truth and causing embarrassment in the Cao Mansion today, but also to confirm whether they were willing to follow him.
Now Jia Yun got the answer. They were all willing, not just because of Jia Mu's orders.
Jia Yun knew that in the original novel, Xiren was a maid with considerable ambitions. She had long wanted to be Jia Baoyu's roommate and become her aunt in the future, and Xiren was also somewhat greedy for glory and wealth.
Under such circumstances, even if Jia Yun was a heroic young man or a martial arts prodigy, Xiren would not easily leave Rongguo Mansion to be his maid.
So Jia Yun judged that Xiren had a crush on him before that, and he might even have a romantic relationship, and Zijuan must also have a crush on him.
Jia Yun didn't know that the first time she met Xi Ren on the street in the snow made Xi Ren fall in love with him. But Jia Yun knew that before that, he went to Hua's house to visit the funeral and offered sacrifices, which probably made Xi Ren fall in love with him.
Good impression.
"The hard work was not in vain!"
Jia Yun sighed in her heart.
As for Zicuckoo, Jia Yun didn't know how this maid had a crush on her.
"Now that Zijuan has become my maid, what will Lin Daiyu do when she enters the Rongguo Mansion next year? Which maid will the old lady arrange to be with her then?"
Jia Yun is very curious about this question.
Well, you'd better take care of yourself first, and don't worry about Sister Lin for the time being, otherwise some readers will criticize the author for meddling in other people's business.
