Jia Mu was overjoyed when she saw that her joke had such a good effect.
She made up this joke to make fun of Wang Xifeng, and at the same time she also expressed to everyone that Wang Xifeng was indeed her favorite daughter-in-law... including her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.
Who wouldn’t like a granddaughter-in-law who can make herself happy every day and is considerate in everything she does?
After laughing, continue to beat the drum and spread the flowers.
Because Jia Baoyu was "jealous" of Jia Lian's lovely wife and concubine, he wanted to interfere with her.
He quietly signaled to the mandarin duck beside him, and pointed at Jia Lian behind his back.
At this time, the atmosphere of the whole place has arrived, and Yuanyang is also happy to entertain his masters. He walks up to Qingwen as usual, wanting to leave the plum blossoms in Jia Lian's hands. The main reason is to watch Jia Lian's performance.
But Jia Lian was sitting above Jia Baoyu and had already known about Jia Baoyu's little moves, but he didn't make it public.
So, when Jia Baoyu excitedly and quickly passed the plum blossom to his hand, Jia Lian also made a gesture to catch it, but at the last moment, he pretended that the chair was unstable and hurriedly retracted his hand to support the chair.
When the drumming stopped, Jia Baoyu looked a little confused as he looked at the plum blossom branch held firmly in his hand.
There were many people present who saw Jia Baoyu's conspiracy. At this time, seeing Jia Baoyu being defeated by Jia Lian, they all laughed.
Sure enough, this younger brother can't compete with his older brother.
Xichun didn't notice, but smiled and said: "Oh, it's Brother Bao's turn. Brother Bao, are you going to write a poem or tell a joke?"
Jia Baoyu glanced at Jia Lian resentfully. After all, he was someone who could afford to lose. He put down the flower branch, took a sip of wine and told a simple joke.
Although Jia Baoyu is not a boring person, because there are elders who greatly inhibit his performance, and there is Jia Mu Zhuyu in front of him, his jokes are somewhat indifferent.
…
In Ningguo Mansion, several elders from the clan were sent away, and Jia Zhen and his son returned to the inner courtyard.
Seeing that the inner courtyard was deserted, Jia Zhen asked the maids and women: "Where are your grandmothers and the others?"
"At noon, Grandma took Grandma Xiaorong to Xifu to pay her respects to the old lady."
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
A woman replied: "Today is the birthday of Mr. Lian over there. Although it is not a big event, Mistress Lian over there prepared a banquet in her small courtyard and invited Mr. Bao and the girls to play.
Later, the old lady also went, and Grandma Xiaorong and Grandma Xiaorong also went there with the old lady."
Jia Zhen's face became even more unhappy after hearing this.
When the servants saw this, they quickly retreated with their necks hunched.
When they left, Jia Zhenfang patted the table next to her and said with a sneer: "They are more attentive to the affairs of Xifu than they are to us! They haven't settled the affairs at home, but they do their best to help others!"
"
Hearing this, Jia Rong stood in the hall and did not dare to answer.
He knew why Jia Zhen was dissatisfied with You and his wife.
For more than a year, my mother (Youshi) often took her daughter-in-law with her. Even when she was not there, she put many hands around her daughter-in-law.
Who is this guarding against? People who understand will naturally understand.
Jia Zhen was somewhat dissatisfied with Youshi.
As for his wife, she suddenly figured it out and seemed to not give the old man a chance to show his affection.
The old man may think that his wife is "unfilial"!
Jia Rong expressed her indifference to this. Although she did not dare to resist Jia Zhen, no one would have a good impression of someone who bullied her and put a hat on her.
Seeing Jia Zhen unhappy, Jia Rong felt a little relieved.
But Jia Rong still didn't really understand the reason for his father's anger.
As early as when Jia She died, You and Qin came to help, but Jia Zhen was a little suspicious.
Because You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really concerned about the affairs of Dongkuayuan!
Jia Zhen herself tried unsuccessfully to pursue her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help but start to think about the reasons.
Finally, he looked at himself in front of the mirror for a long time and reluctantly admitted that his charm was not enough.
He is already over forty years old. He has been wandering around in the waves for decades and has not taken good care of himself. His figure has gained weight and is even a little rickety...
It doesn't matter at all. With his identity and status, he is still the "god man" in the eyes of women.
However, this is a single argument.
You can't compare with some people, especially Jia Lian!
He hadn't thought of Jia Lian before, but he was just a cousin who followed him around. He only had one bite to eat and was obedient to him when he gave him some soup.
Even if he is more handsome, it is just because he is young. When we go out to play with women, we can only play with the rest of him.
Time flew by, and suddenly he realized that this kid seemed to be out of his control.
Not only was it out of his control, but it also completely suppressed his limelight!
At this time, the other party's young and handsome appearance made him feel a great threat!!
He suspected that the reason why his daughter-in-law Qin's attitude towards him suddenly changed was because she saw Jia Lian's rise in fame. He felt that he was not as popular as Jia Lian!
Maybe even his wife coveted Jia Lian's body!
The reason why he could clearly understand this was because he could reach from here to there. Because he knew that he himself also coveted Jia Lian's wife, but the woman was too aggressive and he did not dare.
That woman doesn't recognize anyone when she acts up...
Although I am sure that with Youshi's courage, even if she covets Jia Lian, she would not dare to betray him.
But he was very unhappy.
This unhappiness is not because of Youshi, but because of Jia Lian himself!
This wolf-hearted brat used to do everything possible to please himself in order to get benefits from him.
Now that he has gained power, he has turned his back on others.
The last time he was discussing something in Rongguo Mansion, he was tricked in front of the old lady and other elders, causing him to hand over Huifangyuan in vain.
The most annoying thing is that Jia Lian is now making a lot of money, but he doesn't remember his old feelings at all.
For example, before noon, he watched helplessly as he received more than 10,000 taels of "dirty silver", but he didn't say anything about giving him some.
You know, he had been busy all morning in order to hold a crown ceremony for him...
As a result, after the crowning ceremony, Jia Lian was asked to come over to have a drink and watch a show, and also hinted that he could go out to play the first game later to celebrate his birthday. The boy actually refused on the grounds that he was in the period of mourning!
You don't give him face.
This is a series of reasons why Jia Zhen feels more unhappy the more she thinks about Jia Lian. The birthday congratulations given by You and Qin to Jia Lian in the past was just a trigger.
In the past, when he and Jia Lian were good friends, it was easy to talk about anything. Now that Jia Lian "abandoned him" first, he naturally didn't like anything about Jia Lian.
He wanted to find a way to shock Jia Lian and let him know who was the boss of the Jia family. But when he thought that Jia Lian seemed to be somewhat trusted by the emperor and had some dignity in front of the prince, he lacked confidence.
But, you can’t just let him sit on your head and shit, right?
Moreover, Ningguo Mansion cannot always be blocked by Rongguo Mansion...
Jia Zhen frowned gloomily and began to weigh.
When he looked up, he saw Jia Rong standing at the bottom like a wooden stake. He didn't know what he was thinking, with a smile like a chrysanthemum on his face, which made him angry.
A tea cup fell on Jia Rong, and Jia Zhen cursed angrily: "Damn beast, you don't want to do business all day long, what kind of dirty things are you thinking about?
Tomb Sweeping Day is coming soon. If you don't go out to see if there are any missing items for ancestor worship, hurry up and get them replaced. If you dare to smile stupidly in front of me, please be careful!"
Jia Rong didn't know that she had offended the old man again, so she hurriedly said "yes" and ran away.
