Of course, Jia's mother didn't know what Jia Lian was thinking. If she knew that Jia Lian could control their "destiny", she would not dare to act as an ancestor in front of Jia Lian.
So she continued to smile and said: "The second happy event is that your wife's biological sister, my aunt's family, has moved to Beijing and is now living in our house. Why don't you come up and pay homage to my aunt."
In fact, Jia Lian had already seen the beautiful figures of Baochai and Aunt Xue, but he kept talking to Jia Mu and only greeted them with his eyes.
At this time, after receiving instructions from Jia Mu, he immediately came forward and bowed deeply: "Greetings to aunt, I have met sister Baochai."
Baochai had been standing all the time, but Aunt Xue didn't care at all. When Jia Lian saluted, she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "No need to be so polite..."
As she said that, Aunt Xue looked Jia Lian over and said: "When I saw you last time in Nanjing, I thought you were a good kid. I didn't expect that we hadn't seen him for more than a year. Look, you have already become such a majestic child."
An extraordinary general, good, really good..."
Aunt Xue praised Jia Lian without hesitation. After hearing this, Jia's mother also asked: "Oh, it turns out that my aunt has seen him, why didn't I know?"
Mrs. Wang next to her said with a smile: "When Lian'er went back to Yangzhou, I heard that he also went back to Nanjing and visited all our important old friends and relatives. Maybe it was at that time."
Jia Mu nodded: "I remembered."
So Jia Mu turned her head and said with a smile to Aunt Xue, saying that she was getting old and her memory was bad, so she asked Aunt Xue not to be offended and so on.
Jia Lian just got an opening here and walked slightly to the side. Jia Baoyu couldn't help but touch it, wandering around him, reaching out to touch the cold yet dazzling armor from time to time.
Jia Lian just had a word with Yingchun and others, and when he saw Jia Baoyu's appearance, he smiled at him and said, "What, you like it? Wait until you follow me out to send troops next time, and I will get you something better-looking than this one, how about it?"
"
Everyone else laughed when they heard this, and Jia Baoyu herself took back her hand in embarrassment.
He could still tell that Jia Lian was making fun of him. It was true that he didn't like reading, but it didn't mean that he just liked fighting and killing! On the contrary, what he hated most was the vulgar warriors who fought and killed. In comparison,
Not as good as those who are studying.
At least, most of those guys who study are clean. Look at Brother Lian's dusty appearance and smell of sweat. He has wiped out the good Brother Lian!
If he were asked to do the same, he would rather die.
Others just thought Jia Lian was joking, but Mrs. Wang took it seriously.
I heard from Jia Zheng that Jia Lian was promoted very much by his brother Wang Ziteng's side. Even if Jia Lian was like this, if Baoyu was his close nephew, he would have no reason not to cultivate him.
If Baoyu is placed next to his uncle and becomes a general, firstly, he will avoid taking advantage of Jia Lian, and secondly, he will not be able to make great achievements in the future and obtain a title by himself. At that time, his rank of only fourth grade will also have to be promoted.
Before she could finish thinking about these benefits, Mrs. Wang quickly threw this idea out of her mind.
Going to the battlefield will lead to death. She has already lost one of her sons. This one must not suffer any loss no matter what!
The huge benefit is nothing compared to Baoyu's life.
While Mrs. Wang was thinking about these things, suddenly her roommate Zhou Rui's family came to her side and whispered, "Madam, Mr. Dai Confucius is here in person and wants to ask for some ginseng to save his grandson."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately frowned and couldn't help asking: "Didn't I ask Feng Yatou to give it to him yesterday?"
Zhou Rui's family didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yesterday, Jia Dairu sent someone to ask for help, and Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng to give it to Wang Xifeng in two taels. Sister Feng just agreed, and then just sent the old dry roots and leftovers to Wang Xifeng.
Madam has handed over a job.
If he dared to tease her, Grandma Feng, it would be fine if she didn't torture him to death. She would also give him ginseng, which was a nice idea.
When Mrs. Wang saw the state of Zhou Rui's family, she knew that Wang Xifeng must have been cheating on her, and her face was a little ugly.
When Jia's mother above saw him, she asked who was coming. Knowing that it was Jia Dairu, she hurriedly invited him in.
Jia Dairu was one of the few surviving people in Jia Mu's lifetime, and he was the younger brother of Duke Xianrong.
Although he was in bad shape, because the Jia family governed the family with filial piety, no one in the family dared to bully him.
After a while, Jia Dairu, who also had gray hair on his temples and was trembling, came in with a cane and respectfully greeted his mother Jia: "Greetings to my sister-in-law..."
In fact, Jia's mother was nearly ten years older than Jia Dairu. Seeing that her former brother-in-law was aging faster than her, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, so she asked: "What's the matter with you? Just send a boy to talk to him."
Why are you here in person at your age?"
When Jia Dairu heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and choked up and said: "Because my grandnephew is really seriously ill, the doctor said that he should take 'Dushen Decoction', so I want to ask my sister-in-law to show mercy and save my grandnephew."
Damn it..."
As Jia Dairu said this, he actually wanted to kneel down to Jia Mu while holding on to his crutches.
Jia Mu was shocked and hurriedly asked her left and right people to help her.
Jia's mother only vaguely heard that Jia Dairu's grandson was ill, but she didn't expect it to be so serious that she asked Jia Dairu to come and seek medical advice in person regardless of her dignity.
Although ginseng is expensive, which family like them doesn't stock up on some before winter?
So he said: "It turns out it's for this, and it's worthy of you. Why don't you just ask the boy to come and get it."
Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Dairu couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wang next to him and sighed slightly.
Their family relied on the ginseng offered by the students at home, and they were usually quite wealthy, but it was obviously impossible to eat the good ginseng that often cost dozens or hundreds of taels.
Therefore, he could only come to seek help from Rongguo Mansion.
Who would have known that Mrs. Wang had promised well, but then only sent a package of unusable items? This was clearly a deliberate attempt to humiliate him.
After all, he was the son of Rong Guogong, and he wanted to save face. If it was for other things, that would be fine. But for the sake of his grandson's life, he had no choice but to be shameless and come to see Jia Mu in person. He only hoped that Jia Mu would take care of his uncle.
For the sake of my sister-in-law, I can help him.
When Jia Mu saw Jia Dairu's face, she probably guessed something, so she didn't look very happy.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang had to stand up and said: "Old lady, yesterday my daughter-in-law asked Feng Yatou to pack two taels of ginseng and send it to the master. Maybe it is not enough? I will go to the warehouse to take a look later.
If there are any, just weigh some more for the master and come out..."
Jia Dairu sighed and said: "There is not enough. My wife asked someone to bring it, but it is just some root powder, which cannot be used at all."
As soon as these words came out, everyone else, not to mention Jia Mu, looked shocked.
After all, Jia Dairu was an elder. Although ginseng was expensive, if he didn't want to give it, he could just say he didn't have it. It would be a bit outrageous to give him a pack of unusable root powder.
Mrs. Wang's expression turned ugly for a moment. Could it be that Feng Yatou was blaming herself for not delivering a message to her last time, so she was deliberately trying to ruin her reputation?
At this time, Wang Xifeng had already emerged from the back door.
She heard someone reported that Jia Dairu was here, and she felt guilty and came over to take a look.
Seeing this scene, she immediately felt bad. But she still stepped forward smartly, pretending to be nonchalant and said to the dark-faced Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang: "My lord, it's my fault for this. I got my wife's orders.
I have to do it. Just one thing: There weren't many ginseng sent to Zhuangzi this year, so I picked them out and prepared the medicine for the old lady. The rest must be prepared for my uncle's wife and the admiral's wife.
, I couldn’t find any good ones for a while, so I asked them to search in the old warehouse to see if there were many. If not, I was going to go to Dongfu to ask for some from Grandma Zhen, and I put them together and gave them to Grandpa.
go.
But I was busy with something, so I forgot about it later. I thought they were lazy and were afraid of trouble, so I randomly found some tricks to fool them.
It’s time for these girls and ladies to be taught a lesson, they dare not even deal with the master’s affairs..."
Although Wang Xifeng's words were clever and somewhat reasonable, they could not deceive Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang.
Especially Jia's mother, she was really angry. She knew that Wang Xifeng saw Jia Dairu's family in poverty, so she ignored it and deliberately tolerated and humiliated her, so that Jia Dairu came to her door in person to beg her at an early age.
This time, she had lost her face.
Originally, the bad life of the brothers was the fault of the eldest brother and sister-in-law who inherited the family business. Once this incident spreads out today, the good reputation she has accumulated for most of her life will be damaged!
Fortunately, Jia Dairu only asked for spiritual ginseng to save his life, and had no intention of completely offending Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, so he did not refute Wang Xifeng's words. What was wrong was that it was clearly a dry packet of powder, the kind that would not be eaten even if it was fed to a dog!
Otherwise, Jia Mu would never come to Taiwan.
Even if it was just like this, Jia Mu kept a sullen face and said nothing, letting Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang know her emotions.
Mrs. Wang is still good, but if someone takes the blame, Wang Xifeng will be on pins and needles. If Jia Mu doesn't let her go, she may not be able to pass this test today.
Humiliating your elders, you are still two generations older, but you have a good reputation!
I didn't dare to show my anxiety on my face, and I didn't dare to differentiate anymore. My eyes moved rapidly, looking for a solution.
Suddenly he saw Jia Lian sitting in the corner with a lot of free time, and he suddenly became angry.
Smelly man, why don't you come out and help me out at this time?
