As soon as Jia's mother saw Yuanyang's expression, she could tell that Yuanyang had a soft spot for Jia Lian.
This Yuanyang was originally the daughter of the Jia family, and the whole family worked as errands in the Jia family.
She has been working by Jia Mu's side since she had no hair. Because she is smart, good-looking, careful in her work, and considerate and sensible, Jia Mu keeps her by her side to serve her closely. After more than ten years, she has become very important to Jia Mu.
For those whom you trust, all your clothes, jewelry, and even your savings will be left in the hands of Yuanyang.
As long as she has the mandarin duck by her side, Jia Mu can do everything she wants.
What's even more rare is that Yuanyang not only never relies on Jia Mu's trust to be arrogant, but is always considerate for others. If others make any oversights, Yuanyang will secretly point it out. Therefore, everyone in the family will say that Yuanyang is good.
of.
Mother Jia is not someone who doesn't make plans for others. She has already made plans for Yuanyang Geng. She wants to find a reliable grandson and put Yuanyang in his house to find a long-term home for Yuanyang.
But the problem is that many things require timing, especially as the top ancestor of the Jia family, Jia Mu cannot express her position prematurely.
After all, Yuanyang controls all of Jia Mu's body. Everyone knows that whoever gets Yuanyang will get all the old lady's private wealth.
But Jia Mu's current idea is to keep her body as a precious jade with no ability, and give the mandarin duck in charge of her body to Jia Lian.
This matter has become a bit complicated, involving the issue of rebalancing the big house, the second house and the two houses, so we must be cautious.
What's more, Jia's mother is getting older now, and she can't live without Yuanyang for a while. The old lady has selfish motives and wants to keep Yuanyang by her side for a while.
Today, the old lady originally wanted to give Yuanyang some reassurance in private, but she unexpectedly elicited Yuanyang's sour words.
But Jia Mu was an extremely perceptive person. As soon as she heard about "the day of family visit", she already realized that this matter was not trivial, so she asked calmly:
"That day, the empress only saw us inside. You were all outside and were not allowed to come in. How could there be anything for Ping'er to do?"
The blush on Yuanyang's face gradually faded:
"We were waiting outside. Not only did the old lady follow the empress into the palace, Sister Baoqin came out to entertain her. There were also dozens of deacons, eunuchs, Cai concubines, and Zhaorong who followed the empress. They all came down to entertain us.
Sister Baoqin and I hadn't seen each other for ten years, so we were naturally sentimental when we met. With tears in our eyes, we talked a few words about our partings over the years. Ping'er was also there next to us, and we talked for a while.
In the middle, Sister Qin said she had to change clothes, and Ping'er said she would go with her, so I prepared some tea and food for her in the room.
Who would have thought that they had been there for almost half an hour as soon as they went out. I sent the little girl to have a look and said that no one was seen from the toilet to here.
Later, the two of them came back and couldn't see anything. Baoqin continued to talk to us about homesickness.
Until later, the empress sent a young eunuch to call Baoqin. When she went out, she looked back at me and nodded towards Ping'er."
.
Yuanyang only told some of the situation, and Jia Mu had already guessed it.
Presumably this is what letter Jia Lian asked Ping'er to send to Baoqin, and what news he asked her to pass on to Yuanchun.
But didn't Jia Lian already ask Wang Xifeng to give Yuanchun a "baby brother"?
For things like this, we can only "do our best and obey fate".
All the incense that should be burned has been burned, all the Buddhas that should be worshiped have been worshiped, and all the children that should be prayed for have been prayed for. The rest can only depend on God's will.
If the emperor doesn't go to Yuanchun's house, who can tie him up and send him to Yuanchun's bed?
Alas - although Yuanchun is talented and virtuous, after all, he is no longer in his twenties.
What the emperor wants is a beautiful and lovely woman who can pamper and give birth to children, and there are as many beautiful and lovely women as there are.
“Talent”? It sounds good, but it’s hard to use.
Jia Lian is blessed by his ancestors, but can his ancestors control whether the emperor goes to Yuanchun's house to sleep at night?
No matter how capable Jia Lian is, he can't take care of this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu let out a long sigh, pulled Yuanyang over and said:
"Don't worry, I'll make the decision for you. Girl Feng can't do anything to you, and the other people can't get past you."
.
But Baoyu left Jia's mother's house, told Mingyan to get ready, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and came out. As she was walking out, she met Jia Huan coming out happily.
The two brothers met unexpectedly and actually hated each other, but no one dared to break the Jia family's rules.
Although Jia Huan wanted to kick Baoyu to death behind his back, he was afraid of Jia's mother, so he often dared not say anything in front of Baoyu.
At this time, Jia Huan quickly stopped and listened to Baoyu ask:
"It's getting late, where are you going?"
Jia Huan had no choice but to reply:
"There are lanterns in the East Mansion. Brother Zhen invited me to come over. Brother Xue has also been busy there these past two days. He sent people to invite me twice, but I couldn't help but not go.
Because I have to go to school during the day, I just went over to take a look."
Baoyu was originally going to Ningguo Mansion, but when he heard that Jia Huan was also going, he lost interest and waved his hand:
"Then go ahead. If you see Brother Zhen, say hello to me."
After that, he turned around and went back, regardless of whether Mingyan and the other boys were still waiting outside.
.
Baoyu felt inexplicably depressed, and recalled that Lin Daiyu had been paying no attention to him in the past few days. He guessed that he and Baochai had a lively chat about changing "green jade" to "green wax" that day, which made Daiyu unhappy.<
/p>
Xiren persuaded him to leave Daiyu alone for two days and it would be fine, but he didn't want to find Daiyu himself, and Daiyu even ignored him.
Baoyu couldn't bear it anymore and went to Daiyu's house.
Before entering Daiyu's room, she could already hear a voice like a silver bell chanting:
"After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late in autumn.
The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow upstream.
The bamboo noise returns to Huan Nu, and the lotus leaves the fishing boat.
Let the spring fragrance rest at will, and the kings and grandsons can stay."
Immediately, I heard Daiyu’s smiling voice:
"You are indeed smart. You can memorize it so quickly. What you just said is not bad. Let's learn this poem today and then think about it more when we go back. Once you have carefully studied it and mastered it, this poem will be yours.
When you come back tomorrow, tell me what you have experienced. If it is helpful, let's read on.
In short, this "The Complete Works of Wang Mojie" must be thoroughly studied in order to lay a good foundation."
Just as Baoyu was about to enter the house, Xueyan came over with tea and shouted "Second Master Bao is here", which prevented Baoyu from making a "surprise attack" into the house.
Baoyu entered the room and saw Qingwen taking a book from Daiyu. Without waiting for Qingwen to greet him, he smiled and said:
"Isn't this Qingwen? Do you want to learn poetry too?"
Qingwen said calmly: "Second Master Lian asked me to learn it."
Then, he said to Daiyu:
"I've written down everything Miss Lin just said. I'll come back tomorrow."
Daiyu glanced at Baoyu and said to Qingwen:
"Just wait for me, and I'll go with you to Brother Lian's place."
Seeing that Daiyu still ignored him, Baoyu had no idea anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize:
"Good sister, I know I shouldn't have talked so much to Sister Bao that day. I won't dare to do that again. Please pay attention to me.
It's fine if you hit or scold me, just don't make others angry with me."
