Four hundred and ninety-five: Asking for an official position
When Jia Mu heard this, she was not moved at all. She just hummed and said to Shi Nai: "You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing! What are you doing here again?"
When Shi Nai heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "Look at you! Old lady! Look at what you are saying! If nothing happens, your nephew can't come to see you, right?"
Jia Mu snorted when she heard this, and then said: "Now that you have read it, I am alive and well, and my life is still long! Are you done reading it? Go back and live out your life!"
These words made Shi Nai dumbfounded. Do you really think I came here just to take a look at you? Seeing his expression, Jia Mu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
How could she not know the purpose of Shi Nai's visit this time? It's just that she had promised Jia Jing before to send away those old relatives and friends who came to his door for him, so she couldn't just think that he was her own nephew and just be lenient.
Isn't that bullying Jia Jing? Furthermore, what do other old relatives and friends think? Oh, you always respond to your nephew's requests, but you refuse us in every possible way? What do you mean?
So Jia Mu simply had no choice but to ask Shi Nai to speak up! Just go back and forth from where you came! At least you can save some face for each other. After all, they are your nephews, so it's hard to say no.
Of course, Shi Nai couldn't just give up. Just kidding! He had prepared such an expensive gift and almost lost his underwear. Now that he has just arrived here to burn incense, he has paid all the money for the sesame oil! You transfer Just tell me to leave?
No matter how stupid Shi Nai is, he can't do such a thing! So Shi Nai quickly said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, you are joking. My nephew has just arrived, are you going to drive me away?"
Mother Jia glanced at him and said, "What else? Are you still going to let me keep you for a meal? This is the Jia family! My old lady doesn't dare to make the decision!"
The Jia family all knew what Jia Mu meant, but she just wanted to tell Shi Nai that she no longer had the final say in the Jia family, and she did not mean to blame the Jia family.
Shi Nai couldn't hear it. Hearing the words, he quickly said to Jia Mu: "Look what you said, my nephew still has to beg you for a meal? You are not only the old aunt of my Shi family, but also the ancestor of the Jia family, right?" !Who dares not to listen to you?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she hummed twice and said, "If you listen to me, go back and live your life now. I won't ask you to be filial. Just live your life well!"
Shi Nai couldn't help but become a little anxious when he saw that Jia Mu refused to take any advice, so he quickly said to Jia Mu with a bitter face: "The key is, this life will soon be unbearable!"
Jia Mu looked at Shi Nai and said, "What's the matter?" Shi Nai said with a bitter face, "Ancestor, you also know how much gold, mountains and silver seas were given away when the old Marquis Baoling was alive? In fact, he didn't leave anything behind. No matter how much wealth you inherit, it will be even less when it is passed to my father!"
This is indeed true of Shi Nai. Old Baolinghou felt that the lives of his brothers who had followed him were too hard, so almost all of the Zhuangzi fields and gold and silver treasures that Emperor Taizu came down from It was distributed to the disabled veterans.
Only a few people were left who could support the vitality of the Duke's mansion. But later, when Shi Nai's father, Jia Mu's eldest brother, had already been demoted, and he had no ability, naturally he could only sit and eat.
How much I didn’t want to think about becoming a female celebrity so early, how much I didn’t want to hear my aunt complaining to my uncle over and over again about how much dowry she, a loser, would have to pay in the future, how much I didn’t want to face her cousins who laughed at her for being a parentless girl.
children......
She has long been accustomed to facing these things with a smile, but it doesn't mean that she is not licking these wounds with tears in her heart. Otherwise, why would she be so angry when she joked with Daiyu and Baoyu winked at her?
It would be a joke to say that she is jealous because of Baoyu, but she is also so sensitive in her heart. Sister Lin lives in the Jia family, but there is no one in Sister Lin's family. Her father is a high-ranking official in the south!
That's why she said: "She is a young lady from a rich family, and I am a servant, right?" Everyone knows that Xiangyun is a noble daughter of the Hou family, and she is compared with Daiyu, even though Daiyu's father is very
It is useful, but after all, he is just an ordinary official, so although he is noble, in terms of status, Xiangyun is actually on the same level as Gao Daiyu.
Xiangyun asked this question in return, simply because although Daiyu was living under someone else’s roof, she was a wealthy little woman, and the Lin family had countless wealth over the generations!
And Xiangyun is really a poor child who has nothing but the identity of a young lady from the Hou Mansion...
That's why Xiangyun was so sensitive. Later, when Daiyu wanted to find her in private to apologize, Xiangyun had already packed up and gone home, refusing to live in Rongguo Mansion no matter what...
So when Xiang Yun saw Shi Nai doing this, he was so ashamed and angry that he didn't even dare to look up at the expressions of his sisters! Tears welled up in his big eyes!
Of course the sisters laughed at Shi Nai. Just as Tan Chun was about to make Ying Chun laugh, Daiyu quietly tapped Tan Chun's shoes with the tip of her embroidered shoe under her skirt.
Tan Chun was stunned for a moment and glanced at Dai Yu. Then he saw that Dai Yu's eyes seemed to be glancing at Xiang Yun. Then Tan Chun suddenly realized that the sisters all sat upright when they saw this.
He kept an expressionless face for fear of hurting Xiangyun.
Mother Jia outside was also angry and said: "What are you talking nonsense about? If you continue to talk nonsense, go back to your own home and talk nonsense! Why are you coming to our Jia's house to talk nonsense?"
When Shi Nai saw Jia Mu being so angry, he also knew that he had overacted, so he quickly cried and cried: "It's really that the life at home is so unsatisfactory! Otherwise, my nephew wouldn't have..."
After saying that, he covered his face and cried bitterly as if he was very ashamed. Everyone stopped laughing when they saw this. Jia Mu also naturally knew that it was not easy for Shi Nai, so she sighed and said: "I know that it is not easy for you, but it's just me.
Damn old woman, you are still relying on the Jia family to support you! Where can you get money to help you?"
As she spoke, Jia Mu called the mandarin ducks aside and said to her: "Fetch five hundred taels from the bottom box in the back room. You will leave in a while, just take it. If there are more, the old lady won't have it. You just brought it."
Take everything back with you, I don’t want any of your things.”
Shi Nai laughed dryly after hearing this, and cursed in his heart, "It's only five hundred taels, don't think I can't take it out, but I really don't take it seriously! What can I do with this little money?"
So Shi Nai did not forget his original intention and said to Jia's mother: "Ancestor, what is this? We are my parents' family, and we have never said that we should be filial to you! How can you use money to supplement us?"
This thing is really not done, and Jia Mu is really helpless, otherwise she, a decent old monarch, would let people use this excuse? As long as she is married, she is the Jia family! Everything belongs to the Jia family
, including dowry!
How can there be any reason to use the money of the Jia family to supplement one's mother's family? Wouldn't it make people laugh if you tell it? The Jia family in the hall have no objection, just because they are old feudal lords. If Wang Xifeng dares to do this, you try it...
I just gave the Jia family's money to my natal brother Wang Ren today. I don't even have to wait until tomorrow. I have to ask the Jia family to divorce tonight! Jia Jing has to nod and agree!
Jia's mother did this out of helplessness. After all, she was a member of her mother's family. She was really crying with snot and tears. Jia's mother still couldn't bear it.
When Jia Mu heard what Shi Nai said, she could only shake her head and said: "It's useless for me to ask for the money. Logically speaking, you won't get it even if you ask me for it. These coffins of mine are all for Baoyu.
But Baoyu is now an official, so I might as well reward you to go back and live a good life!"
When Shi Nai heard this, he was filled with envy and jealousy. He cursed in his heart that it turned out that one person had achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven! How could someone as virtuous as Baoyu be an official?

Although he was filled with hatred in his heart, he still smiled on his face and said: "That's even more true! I'm a cousin, and I didn't say that I would spend some money to appreciate the treasures and jade, so how could there be any reason to snatch his things? My ancestors would never do it.
Bring it up again! It would be shameful for me to mention it again!"
Although Mrs. Baolinghou on the side was salivating over the five hundred taels, but after Shi Nai said this, she could only echo a few times: "That's right, there is no reason for you to give us money, so many people are watching...
………”
Mrs. Wang and others' mouth corners slightly curved, today they finally saw someone who was even stupider than Mrs. Xing, huh?
Jia Mu covered her face, and Shi Nai also glared at her. Mrs. Baolinghou knew that she had made a mistake, so she quickly closed her mouth. Jia Mu said to Shi Nai: "Is there anything wrong with you? Just go back if nothing happens! From now on.
Don’t even think about coming to see me, just live your own life!”
When Shi Nai heard the words, he smiled dryly and said: "I really have one thing to ask the old lady..." When Jia Mu heard the words, she snorted coldly and took the vaccination before saying: "Let me tell you first, I am not the one in this family now.
It's time to take care of things. Now I'm just taking these little grandchildren to have fun. Don't tell me about outside matters, I can't make the decision!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shi Nai quickly laughed and said: "How can it be possible? Look at what you said! Is there something your old feudal lord can't do as the master?" Jia Mu said: "This matter
I really can’t be the master! For outside matters, go to Dongfu to find Brother Jing. He is now the serious head of the family, so I don’t mean what I say!”
Shi Nai's face darkened when he heard this, and then he said with a smile: "Look at what you said, if you open your mouth, even Brother Jing, there is no reason why he won't listen..."
Jia Mu sneered and said, "If I had such power, why wouldn't you listen when I asked you to go home?" Shi Nai was speechless for a moment, and could only sit down and said, "Anyway, you are so good today."
Arrange an official position for me! Otherwise I won’t leave!”
Jia Mu said with a headache: "You are not young anymore, who are you threatening with this trick?" Shi Nai cried and cried: "Aunt, there is really nothing we can do! Even if my nephew has even the slightest trick, he will not find you.
It’s on my head! I can’t even open the pot at home! It looks like the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the house will be deserted and miserable. How can I see my ancestors!”
As he spoke, he pretended to cry, and Jia Mu yelled angrily, but Shi Nai didn't take it seriously. He just cried and complained, asking Jia Mu to tell Jia Jing to arrange an official position for him!
Mrs. Baolinghou on the side naturally started crying too, which made Mrs. Zhongjinghou embarrassed for a while, and she sat there feeling a little at a loss for a while!
Mother Jia's blood pressure rose instantly. Mrs. Wang and others on the side couldn't speak at this time, so naturally they could only sit aside and watch the fun!
It made Xiang Yun in the back also shed tears. It was really...so embarrassing!
The Jia sisters could only look at Xiangyun with sympathy. No one dared to persuade Xiangyun, for fear that Xiangyun would misunderstand something...
Just when Jia's mother couldn't bear it anymore and was about to faint, Jia Jing's voice came from outside: "Why is it so lively? Are you singing?"
After saying that, he opened the door curtain and walked in. Then he saw the scene in the hall and was stunned for a moment. When Shi Nai saw Jia Jing, he stopped making trouble. He quickly sat up and looked at Jia Jing with burning eyes.
Jia Jing walked in with a confused look on her face, and Jia Mu and others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Jia Mu almost cried when she saw Jia Jing, but in the end she just called Jia Jing as if she had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Jia Jing responded, then glanced at Shi Nai and said, "This is... Where did the song come from?" Jia Jing stepped forward to salute Jia Mu, and Jia Mu shouted repeatedly, and then
Without looking, he pointed at Shi Nai and others and said, "I'm from the Baolinghou Mansion. I'm here to see you. I have something to ask of you."
Then he said to Shi Nai with great disgust: "Brother Jing is here! If you have anything to do with him, don't come and embarrass me so that I can harm the old lady!"
When Jia Jing heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shi Nai. Shi Nai quickly stepped forward and stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Jing, I am your cousin..."
This sentence immediately made everyone present almost laugh out loud, and now even Jia Mu spat at him with a red face: "Do you want to show some face? Brother Jing is decent in front of the emperor!"
Are you embarrassed to accept the word "cousin" from him?"
Jia's mother said to Jia Jing: "Brother Jing, you don't have to listen to him. How many generations have passed, what does it have to do with Dongfu? Return to your cousin, I'm bah! Shameless!"
Shi Nai himself felt a little embarrassed after what he said. Jia Jing ignored him, smiled and sat down next to Jia's mother and said: "Baoling Hou? In the past, I couldn't face you. The old lady wants to see you."
It’s hard to see my mother-in-law’s family. Why are you here if it’s not the right time for you?”
Jia Jing said and then threw the riding crop in her hand on the table. Shi Nai quickly laughed and said: "Brother Jing, it's not like we can't survive at home anymore. I'm thinking of joining you! You're doing well now.
Give your cousin an official position under you!"
Everyone was amused when they heard this. Although Jia Mu also wanted to scold him, she just snorted coldly and stopped talking. Jia Jing said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! I still
I’m wondering, I’ve always heard people say that if you live in poverty in a busy city, you can’t hook your relatives with ten steel hooks, but if you’re rich in the mountains, you can’t fight off unjust guests and friends with swords, guns, swords and halberds!”
