When Jia Lian saw that Mr. Shi showed his sincerity and did not force himself to marry this "Master Zhuyu" right away, he felt relieved and said:
"Anyway, I have a difficult person with me on this trip to Yangzhou. Let them bicker on this trip.
I just need to make an agreement with Brother Shi first. If your sister pretends to be a princess or a princess, I really can’t serve you here."
Mr. Shi smiled:
"Juyu's temperament is indeed a bit difficult, but this girl also has a weakness, that is, as long as she says, 'Tell your mother,' she will definitely give in.
Brother Jia didn't know that the reason why she had to follow her to Yangzhou this time was because she wanted to go to Suzhou to visit her mother.
I originally said I would take her with me, but now I have something pressing on my head and I can't get away, so I have to trouble Brother Jia."
After a pause, he said again:
"I'm afraid this matter that I can't get away from has something to do with your residence."
Jia Lian was so shrewd. After pondering for a while, he suddenly felt enlightened and asked:
"Is this related to what happened to my sister in Nancheng Grape Alley a few days ago?
Mr. Shi laughed loudly when he heard this:
"That stone idiot, isn't it me?"
"Ah?"
Jia Lian patted his head and thought about it - that stone fool with yellow skin, thin skin and decadent eyes was nothing like the description of Mr. Shi in front of him. Moreover, his voice was completely different. It didn't look like him, he really didn't.
Mr. Shi was suddenly turned away and said: "I live in a humble house and am poor. I can't stand the aura of wealth and honor. Please come back."
It was definitely the tone of voice that I met the stone idiot that day.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"Disguise! It must be disguise! It has reached the state of transformation! It is so ingenious!"
With the smile still on his face, Jia Lian was suddenly startled, and his whole heart suddenly sank.
.
Damn it, this little secret agent who is the emperor's side, disguised himself and ran out to "release the snake", obviously to "fish for law enforcement".
So, the fish they want to catch...
Could it be the Jia family!!!
After analyzing this, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel excited.
If this is the case, the whole thing should look like this:
They knew that Jia She liked to collect ancient fans, so they first sent people to obtain the best ancient fans in front of Jia She, making Jia She feel that all the fine ancient fans he had collected at home were rubbish.
After that, they spread the word that there was a poor, destitute idiot in Nancheng who had no food to eat. He had twenty top-quality ancient fans hidden in his home, which aroused Jia She's heart. He wanted to get it no matter what, so...
But maybe Mr. Shi didn't expect that he would come to the house in person, and Baima was attached to his old master. He smelled the smell and recognized the stone dogwood hidden in the house, which led to the conspiracy.
Thinking of this, the smile on Jia Lian's face became a little weird:
"When Brother Shi said, 'There is something pressing on my head, I can't get away', did you mean to set up an ambush for the Jia family?"
Mr. Shi also stopped smiling and sighed:
"I also know that I can't hide it from Brother Jia.
Let me make it clear that the emperor has been secretly collecting the crimes of these 'heroes', not just targeting the Jia family.
Although it won’t start within one or two years, the little things add up, and sooner or later it will have to be liquidated.”
Jia Lian put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned and asked:
"Since Brother Shi has already plotted against my father, why do you need to establish friendship with me?"
Mr. Shi knew that Jia Lian must be unhappy, and it was only natural for a son to be filial to his father. He apologized and said:
"I will apologize first, and then talk about my last resort.
Brother Jia, the purpose of this move is not actually your father.
Your Majesty is a sinecure, and has no ambitions for power. He only loves happiness. The Emperor does not care about raising an idle man who has a job but no power.
What this matter is going to bring out must be someone who is willing to collude with the hero faction and is able to bully others."
Jia Lian also understands that the butt determines the head, everyone has different positions, and everyone has his or her own last resort.
He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying:
"I also understand that the biological father on Brother Shi's head is much more difficult to deal with than my biological father.
Since we are brothers, we should trust each other. If you tell me so clearly, I will help you set a trap and bring out a bully to make you deal with each other."
Mr. Shi sighed:
"You are smart, open-minded, gentle and full of heroism and loyalty. It is a blessing in life to associate with you." After that, he filled a glass of wine, raised it to Jia Lian, and started to drink. "
From now on, we brothers will share the same blessings and misfortunes."
Jia Lian also filled a glass of wine and drank it all: "As an elder brother, you really work hard for your sister."
.
But later that day, Eunuch Xia from the palace came to Jia's house and brought the fifteenth festival gift given to the family by the virtuous concubine.
Jia Mu's is a fragrant Ruyi, an agate pillow, two fine palace fans, two strings of red musk beads, two ends of a phoenix tail, and a collar of hibiscus mat.
For the two gentlemen, the two wives and their aunt, they have a fragrant Ruyi, two fine palace fans, two strings of red musk beads, two ends of the phoenix tail, and a collar of hibiscus mat.
Wang Xifeng and Li Wan's are two pieces of Xia Yingsha, two phoenix tails, two sachets, and two pills.
Baoyu and Baochai, two handles of the finest palace fans, two strings of red musk beads, two ends of the phoenix tail, and a collar of hibiscus mat.
Daiyu and Yingchun, exploring spring and appreciating spring, are two handles of fine palace fans and two strings of red musk beads.
Jia Mu took everyone to see her off in person. Before leaving, she also presented Eunuch Xia with two hundred taels of silver.
.
Everyone saw that Dudu Baoyu and Baochai were the same, and naturally they all understood the imperial concubine's intention to match up.
Regarding Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mother and her son Jia Zheng agreed: they must find a daughter from a scholarly family, not a daughter of a merchant.
At this time, Jia Mu felt depressed, but she had no choice but to realize that she was one step short of a move and Mrs. Wang had taken the lead.
Forget about others, Xiren placed the rewards grandly in the Baoyu House, feeling overjoyed in his heart.
It seems that this is the result of Mrs. Wang taking advantage of the opportunity to have a good relationship with her daughter, the Imperial Concubine, when she entered the palace. The empress finally agreed with Mrs. Wang and chose Miss Bao as her match.
As long as I can settle on Miss Bao, then I should be eighty-nine percent settled on becoming my concubine.
Although Xi Ren has never met the Imperial Concubine, he has heard a lot about it. It is said that the Imperial Concubine was raised by Mother Jia when she was young and did not grow up with Mrs. Wang.
Later, Baoyu was added to the family. The imperial concubine was the eldest sister and Baoyu was the weak younger brother. The two of them stayed with their grandmother and never left each other.
Baoyu was only three or four years old, so the imperial concubine personally taught several books and thousands of words by quoting oral traditions. Although her title was sister and brother, her relationship was like that of mother and son.
It is said that the imperial concubine is closer to Jia Mu, but because Jia Mu is old, even if the emperor is merciful and allows family members of the harem to enter the palace on the 26th of each month to wait and see, the old man really does not have the energy to run around.
Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, received this grace and never failed to come back almost every time, deeply comforting the imperial concubine’s longing for her family in the deep palace.
The old lady thought she was sure of victory in Baoyu's marriage, but she didn't realize that Mrs. Wang had acted first. She had already told the imperial concubine that Baochai was good-looking, virtuous, and kind, and that Baoyu was getting older, so she had to have a clear sense of justice.
It’s better to have someone by your side to give you advice.
Looking at this ritual now, isn’t it telling the world?
.
Xiren had just been called away by Ying'er to talk. When he returned to the house, he saw that the etiquette on the table in the house was missing, so he asked She Yue who was picking the incense burner:
"Where is the gift from the empress?"
She Yue raised her head and smiled:
"Didn't the second master take it as a treasure?" He said, pouting, "Miss Lin's house is busy right now."
