But it was said that Jia Mu suspected that there was something wrong with Baoyu between Xiren and Baoyu, which made Baoyu refuse to take a concubine. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, so she ordered Yuanyang to try to find out. Many years have passed since Ling O'clock Reading, and the people in the house
I changed a lot, but in the end I only found out about it once after Baoyu came back from Ningguo Mansion, and no one else knew about it.
Jia's mother didn't believe it and asked her to check again, but she found out what Xiren had said or done to Baoyu. Yuanyang checked again but still couldn't find anything. Jia's mother thought about it again and again, and then said to her:
"Tomorrow you go out of the house, quietly visit the attacker's home, and find a reason to bring her to see me."
Yuanyang asked curiously: "Old lady, she has been gone for so many years, why did she investigate that matter back then? Second Master Bao originally sent her away because he wanted to go to the academy, but now he is very motivated and is on the same level as her.
No rest."
Jia Mu sighed: "Yuanyang, this is for you."
Yuanyang was startled: "Why does it have anything to do with me?"
Jia Mu then took her hand and said, "You are a good boy. Over the years that you have been with me, you have thought of everything for me that I could not have imagined. You also know my temperament. But you are already this age."
, keeping you any longer will be a waste of time for you. But there are no good men in this house now, only Baoyu, I gave you to him, I don't worry about him, and I don't worry about you either."
Yuanyang suddenly turned pale: "What did the ancestor say? I will naturally follow the ancestor."
Jia Mu said with a smile: "What are you ashamed of? You and Hu Bo are both three years older than Bao Yu. As the saying goes, a junior girl holds a gold brick, so you can be more considerate to him when you are older."
Yuanyang hurriedly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Ancestor, I only serve your ancestors with all my heart. I have no other thoughts. If my ancestors don't believe it, I will make an oath today..."
Mother Jia waved her hands repeatedly: "You kid, what are you thinking about? How could I not know you? Get up quickly."
Tears rolled down Yuanyang's eyes: "My ancestors didn't respond to me, so I won't get up."
Jia Mu said displeasedly: "Where did you come from? This is for your own good. You can't stay with me forever." Nai sighed again, "I'm over eighty, how many more years can I live? Baoyu is a
Good boy, I will never let you down."
The mandarin ducks still had to tell the difference, but seeing that Jia Mu's heart was as strong as iron, she had to get up with tears in her eyes.
Jia Mu thought she was reluctant to leave her, so she nodded and said, "I know your heart, and you are thinking about me, an old woman. After all, Baoyu is also in my yard, and you don't have to move out."
Yuanyang lowered his head and said nothing, his palms already sweating.
Jia Mu added: "It's just that I told him about this a few days ago, and something strange happened." Yuanyang's eyes lit up! "He actually said that he didn't want my aunt to have sex with him, and even mentioned an attack. That's why I ordered you to do it."
Go check her out. Find her and bring her to the house. I’ll ask her something."
Yuanyang only felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to persuade her, but swallowed it, and just said "yes" in a low voice. Jia Mu patted her hand with satisfaction, but Yuanyang's heart was filled with turmoil.
A few months ago, Jia Huante was looking for a mandarin duck to talk to, and he only asked her to take good care of Jia Mu. If she did anything strange, such as wanting to hire an official media for no apparent reason, he hoped that she would be warned and someone would be sent to her as soon as possible.
Yuanyang reported to himself. Yuanyang just thought he was frightened by Jia's mother Jia Zheng's attempt to marry the Su family on Jia Lan's behalf last time, so he agreed. Unexpectedly, Jia Huan went on to say: "Miss Yuanyang is brave and clever, even better than
It's really rare for an ordinary woman to have a little more discernment. One day she will definitely find a good family and become an upright wife. I'm sorry for bothering you, girl." Yuanyang immediately understood in her heart that Master Huan was using her life as bait to lure her into becoming a wife.
Spy! Even though the mandarin duck is so loyal, such a huge temptation is really hard to resist. It is not a bad thing at all. He just wants to keep an eye on Jia Mu and not let her do anything wrong. So he hesitated again and again, and never refused or accepted.
Her parents, brothers and sister-in-law had been released from the house by Jia She and Jia Mu's confidants many years ago. Yuanyang used some money to buy a small property for them, and now they are living peacefully outside. She originally thought,
The day after I served Jia Mu and returned to the west, I thought Jia would pardon Jia Huan and not keep her anymore. She only had to wait until Jia Mu was filial and fulfilled her request, and she would be able to do it. It doesn't matter whether she relies on Mr. Huan or not. I don't want Jia Mu to do it.
Suddenly I had this idea!
It's not that Baoyu is bad. If Jia's mother had mentioned this matter a few months earlier, she might not have refused. However, before Jia Cong left Beijing, he made a big fanfare for Hong. Xiu Jinjiang and others had completed the household registration of good people, and everyone in the family knew about it.
Only a blind person like Jia Cong didn't know about Hong Xiu Jinjiang and the young men in Lixiangyuan. How could he hide it from Yuanyang? She also knew that those young men had studied and practiced martial arts.
, and with the support of Mr. Cong, they must be promising. I thought that the three girls would grow up with them sooner or later, and had private discussions with Hu Hu and others. Based on their appearance and temperament, and with the support of Mr. Cong, I was afraid that they would be better than
Serious wives should be pampered. In just two or three years, they actually want to be wives themselves! Jinjiang was just a little girl back then, but Lai Da bought her to honor the old lady. Serious people even kept the old lady in her room.
She didn't get in. She is a serious wife, and she and Bao Erye are raising children. Bao Erye sees that although he studies every day, he has no ambition to make progress. Needless to say, she and Hu Hu will definitely be short in Jinjiang in the future.
Let’s not even mention whether Miss Yun is generous or not. Miss Yun was taught by the second girl. Although the second girl has a good temper, she has never been vague about her ability to manage her servants.
Although Yuanyang had a calm expression on her face, she had been thinking for a long time and quietly made a decision. After finding an excuse, she looked around for a moment and went straight to Jia Huan's house.
When he saw Jia Huan, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times, saying, "Third Master, I have something to do to come back to you."
Jia Huan called her up, knowing that she had surrendered. It was probably the old lady who was causing trouble again, so she hurriedly asked her what was going on. Yuanyang then told Jia's mother before and after he ordered her to investigate the attacker, but did not mention that she was allowed to go with him.
Hu Bo became Bao Yu's aunt. But after Jia Huan heard this and what she did today, she made a good guess. She frowned and said, "The ancestors planned to give Brother Bao Yu a place in the house, but Brother Bao Yu didn't agree?"
Mandarin ducks should be bowing their heads.
Jia Huan thought for a while: "I don't know why he doesn't want anyone in the house. I used to think that the attacker would be with him for the rest of his life. I'll ask Brother Baoer first. Just say that you haven't found the attacker. She's an old man."
You can’t find it yourself.”
Yuanyang's eyes flashed. She had never coaxed Jia Mu before, so telling such a big lie was quite against her will.
Jia Huan said: "Sister Yuanyang, Xiren was released from our house. Since he was released, he has been a good citizen and has nothing to do with us anymore. In terms of emotion, reason and law, the old lady cannot bring him to our house.
She was interrogating inside. What she wanted to ask about was the old affairs between Xiren and Baoyu's brother. The whole family knew about the two of them! How long had Xiren been out of the government? If he had left the cabinet at that time, he would have had several children by now.
I also have a family, a son, a man, neighbors, relatives and friends who want to show my face! What an inappropriate move our ancestors made!"
After hearing this, Yuanyang couldn't help but nodded: "That's the truth."
Jia Huan said: "My ancestors are old and don't think clearly about many things. I hope Miss Yuanyang can persuade me. But if you really can't, please come and tell me earlier so that I can be prepared."
Yuanyang hurriedly responded, and this time it was quite refreshing.
Jia Huan was also glad that she had come this time. They originally matched Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu for the reputation of Shi Xiangyun's father. If they had arranged a wife in a hurry before they came in, the matter would have been greatly compromised.
The next day, Yuanyang pretended to leave the house and wander around casually, but when he came back, he just coaxed Jia Mu to say that he had not found the attacker.
It's just that they all thought about Jia Mu wrongly. At first, she thought about setting up a bedroom for Baoyu and amber, but after thinking about it, it turned out to be a good idea with all four corners covered, and she felt a little proud. How could she do something like this?
She left her son alone? She thought that the mandarin ducks were in the house all the time, and it was rare to go out. Even if they didn't know the way outside, she ordered someone to go outside to find a woman who often went out, and used
She was given five taels of silver to find someone. But Yuanyang was not there at that time, so she missed it.
How did the old lady know that this matter was important? Only when the old lady suddenly remembered the old servant from the past; she was an old man who stayed in the former mansion, and she knew something interesting. She found it after just a little inquiry.
Attack someone's home.
Xiren was already married at this moment, and the man was their neighbor, and they gave birth to a son and a daughter. Hearing that it was the old lady from Rongguo Mansion who wanted to see her, she was so happy that she burst into tears: "I don't want my ancestors to still remember me..."
She immediately dug out from under the box the good clothes she had received when she left the mansion in her early years, put them on, washed them carefully, entrusted her children to her sister-in-law to take care of her, and followed the mother-in-law to Rongguo Mansion.
The two of them entered the house, and Xiren kowtowed to Jia Mu with tears in his eyes: "I have seen the old lady!"
Seeing that she was already dressed as a woman, Jia Mu sighed and asked her to get up, and asked, "How are you doing?"
Xiren said: "Thanks to our ancestors, life is going smoothly."
Jia Mu nodded and ordered everyone below to go out.
Yuanyang had come back at this time, and was shocked to see Xi Ren! She suddenly felt ashamed, not even doing such a small thing properly. Seeing her blush, Jia Mu thought she was ashamed, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Yuanyang girl, stay away too
." Seeing the mandarin duck agreeing, walking very fast on his feet, he laughed.
There was no one else in the room for a while, so Jia Mu turned to Xiren and said, "Your child is a good one. In the early years, I thought of keeping it for Baoyu, but I didn't expect you to have such a fate."
Xiren immediately blushed, feeling sad and happy, and after a while he said, "I am a slave but I am not blessed."
Jia Mu said: "I was a little surprised that Baoyu would let you out that day. Now he is about to get married."
There was a bit of a trance on Xiren's face, and he was wandering about old things for a while, and then he said after half a day: "Congratulations, ancestor."
Jia Mu said: "According to the rules, I should let him have two people in the house now. But when I mentioned this to him a few days ago, he just refused to agree, saying that he didn't want to let his aunt live in the same room, and also mentioned
Come on. Do you know the reason?"
Xiren was startled: "Has the Second Master ever mentioned me?"
Jia Mu said: "Yes. You are a good boy. He was young at that time and did not do things well. He let all the girls go because he wanted to go out to study. He probably regretted it later. I just don't know why he refused to ask for a room.
people."
The attacker was in a trance for a while, and sighed: "Old ancestor, this is not my fault."
Jia Mu suddenly stood up: "You really know!"
Xiren said: "Back then, the second master said that because he had found out that the second wife was very unkind to the third master Huan, secretly or overtly, I'm afraid that in the future, the second mistress would also treat the concubine like this, and I'm afraid that she would be like the second wife to Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao.
Generally speaking, when it comes to marrying his aunt, he would rather not shed so many tears on his daughter than delay them."
Jia Mu suddenly understood, hit her cane and cursed: "Nonsense! Her mother is just a jealous woman. There are so many good women in the world, how can they all be jealous?"
Xiren wiped his tears and said, "Second Master has already made up his mind, so I just... left the house to ask for help."
Jia's mother said, "What did I think it was? It turned out to be just a small misunderstanding. This child has many things in his heart and refused to tell me." Then she felt relieved, comforted the attacker for a long time, and rewarded him again.
He gave her ten taels of silver.
Xiren kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.
On the other side, Yuanyang had just left Jia Mu's house. He just wanted to go to the toilet and rushed to Jia Huan's house like a whirlwind.
Jia Huan just came back from outside and hadn't had time to change her clothes. He saw her hurriedly barging in. When he saw someone in the room swallowing his words again, his eyes were full of anxiety. Jia Huan didn't change his clothes either, so he ordered the girl to be young.
Magpie went out and asked her what happened.
Yuanyang whispered: "I was not paying attention for a moment. Our ancestor ordered others to look for the attacker. Now he is talking alone in her house."
Jia Huan suddenly frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It's useless to worry now. I've already asked my second brother why..." He shook his head, "According to Xiren's temperament, he probably wouldn't hide it from the old lady.
"Yes." She walked back and forth in the room with her hands behind her hands for a few times and asked, "If I guess correctly, her next step will be to bring Sister Yun to the house and personally force her to promise three obediences and four virtues, be virtuous and virtuous. Sister Yuanyang wants to come.
There was no such intention.”
Yuanyang had forgotten that he had not mentioned to him that Jia Mu wanted to give her to Baoyu, and shook his head repeatedly: "I never meant that! I swear..."
This was an indirect acknowledgment that Jia Huan's guess was correct. He waved his hand and said, "No need to swear, you are not stupid." Then he walked back and forth a few more times and said to Yuanyang, "Miss Yuanyang, can you give up your face?"
Yuanyang smiled bitterly and said: "It's already here, what's the point of face?"
Jia Huan nodded: "Okay. I'm not afraid to tell you, and I don't want the second brother to get some aunts. He is already troublesome enough, and adding more aunts will make it even more troublesome and messy. If our ancestors tomorrow
I sent people to the historian's house, and I hope that Miss Yuanyang will take the initiative to invite me."
Yuanyang was stunned.
Jia Huan said: "My ancestors probably thought that if you wanted to express your loyalty to Sister Yun earlier and get close to each other, you would probably agree to it. When you get to the Shi family, you just tell Sister Yun the truth. My ancestors wanted to do this because of wishful thinking.
You don't want to be a child for your second brother, and your second brother doesn't want to take a concubine. Naturally, she doesn't want your second brother to take a concubine. The three of you are from the same group, and we are discussing how to deal with the ancestors. I have a suggestion that she might as well refer to. Old
When her ancestors tell her, she can hold on tight and say that her second brother has the final say; she must not agree to anything else and leave everything to brother Baoyu." A fake smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Let's look at Baoyu.
Has my brother grown up? Besides, this is Sister Yun’s lifetime business. Let’s see how eloquent she is and whether she has grown.” He looked at Yuanyang again and smiled, “This is also your lifetime business.
, I also want to see how eloquent Miss Yuanyang is and whether she has any strategies."
After Yuanyang left, Jia Huan was somewhat relieved. Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Jin Yuanyang were originally the most trustworthy people of Jia Mu, but now they are going to join forces to deal with Jia Mu.
