Red House Shoufu

Chapter 157 Who is the father?
On the eighth day of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it was the time for rest, so Lin Shu got up early and had nothing to do, so he was going to Ningguo Mansion.

The main reason is that Bai Mudan, an oiran lady, if the fetus in her womb is really Jia Zhen's blood, she has to inform Ningguo Mansion no matter what.

Hearing Lin Shu ordering Fuquan to set up a car, Daiyu ran over with her skirt in small steps, and the jasper tassels on her bun swayed accordingly.

The snow goose holding Bai Jingjing ran after her out of breath: "Girl...slow down...slow down..."

"Brother, are you going out?" Staring at Lin Shu with sparkling eyes, Daiyu tugged on Lin Shu's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Would you like to bring two boxes of Yupinzhai's colorful cakes when you come back?"

"You are a little greedy cat just like Bai Jingjing. When brother comes back, I will buy you all the snacks from that street!"

Lin Shu ruffled her hair skillfully, ignored Daiyu's "open teeth and claws", and walked out the door of the inner courtyard laughing loudly.

Daiyu viciously compared her fists, then ran into the room with her skirt in hand, and the voice of Xueyan came from behind: "Slow down, girl, be careful of falling..."

……

The two nuns Zhang and Lu now only teach Daiyu on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and usually live a comfortable life by raising flowers and grass, and they are considered to have really settled in the Lin Mansion for the elderly.

However, Xichun still runs to Lin's house whenever she has time, and even brought Yingchun and Tanchun here today.

For a while, the courtyard of the Lin Mansion was filled with the sound of meowing, real cat meowing, mixed with the soft and waxy learning language of the girls.

"Girl, Miss Xue is here!"

Xueyan led Xue Baochai into the inner courtyard, and today Xue Baochai was wearing a royal blue wide-sleeved skirt, holding a kitten in his arms with black clouds and snow, and blessed the girls with a smile on his face.

"I brought Mo Xue to join in the fun..."

……

Xue Pan left the capital yesterday, and it is estimated that he has already started serving in the imperial tomb.For the time being, Xue Baochai is in charge of the Xue family's business, waiting for Xue Biao from his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River to take over.

Although the son's departure made it difficult for the Xue family to accept, the Xue family was temporarily free from the schemes of Zhongxin Wangfu and Wang Ziteng.

During the time when everyone was playing around, Xue Baochai found an opportunity to thank Daiyu: "My brother's matter, thanks to Lin Xueshi's help. I heard that Lin Xueshi is very interested in overseas affairs, so I bought a lot of charts." Books such as travel notes and travel notes have already been delivered in a carriage, and please ask Sister Lin to hand them over to Bachelor Lin for me."

By carriage?How much has this been changed?

We must know that in today's world, books are extremely precious.The reason why the Lin family can be known as the family of poems and books due to their background as Liehou is because of the huge collection of books and their literary fame.

Daiyu wanted to refuse, but seeing Xue Baochai's pleading eyes, she complied.If she didn't accept the gift of thanks from the Xue family today, the older sister of the Xue family would be thinking about it all the time.

……

The middle door of Ningguo Mansion was closed tightly, the butler led Lin Shu into the mansion, and the two walked to Jia Jing's study.Jia Jing, who was wearing ordinary clothes, looked thin and was standing at the door of the study waiting.

"My nephew paid a visit to Uncle Jing and took the liberty to come here. I hope Uncle Jing won't be offended!"

Jia Jing signaled the steward to step back and invited Lin Shu in.The two of them sat and sipped tea separately, and Lin Shu bluntly talked about his intentions.

Concealing that he was planning to plot against Nan'an County's palace, Lin Shu used the absurd news he had inadvertently obtained as an excuse to tell the story that Bai Mudan might be pregnant with Jia Zhen's flesh and blood.

Jia Jing didn't show the expected anger, but a calm face.Thin fingers tapped on the table, frowning and said: "I have to ask Zhen'er about this first, if it is true, the blood of Ningguo Mansion will naturally not be left outside."

He raised his head to look at Lin Shu, with an inquiring look in his eyes: "Whether it's true or not, Ningguo Mansion has accepted Jinyu's favor. I don't ask you why you inquired about these things, but I still have to remind you that Huo An is very It is easy to deal with, but you must be cautious when dealing with the tens of thousands of Zhennan troops behind the Huo family."

Smart people are always smart people, Jia Jing knew what he was going to do as soon as Lin Shu mentioned Nan'an County Palace.

Lin Shu stood up and thanked him: "Nephew, thank you Uncle Jing for your guidance!"

"If you need help, please send someone to let you know. Although the Ningguo Mansion is not as high-ranking and noble as the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, in the capital, the Huo family is not the opponent of the Jia family."

Suddenly, Jia Jing gave Lin Shu a promise.This can be regarded as thanks to Lin Shu for telling each other today, and it is also to show Lin Shu the energy of Jia's two houses.

In the past few years, the Lin family has been helping the Jia family a lot. Now that the Jia family is gradually recovering, they are finally able to repay the help of the Lin family.

Although the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County is one of the four kings, most of the power of the Huo family is concentrated in the Yanzi area of ​​the South China Sea.As for Beidi and even the capital city, the strength of the Ningrong and Rongfu is definitely higher than that of the Huo family. Even though the Jia family has been silent for almost ten years, they are still a force that cannot be ignored.

Lin Shu cupped his hands and bowed again: "You don't need to bother Uncle Jing to take action on such a trivial matter. Moreover, this matter is not limited to the Nan'an County Prince's House. If your nephew's judgment is correct, the person who started this dispute in the first place is most likely the one in the control county. That Mrs. Uncle of Uncle Wang's family."

"The Wang family again? It's really haunting!"

Jia Jing sighed, Wang Ziteng is sinister and vicious, if this was ordered by him, then he needs to think carefully.

The two stopped the topic temporarily, and Jia Jing asked someone to bring the grounded Jia Zhen over.

When Jia Zhen entered the study, Lin Shu almost didn't recognize her.

The clothes on Jia Zhen's body looked extremely loose, her figure was emaciated, her eyes were dull, and her complexion was old, not at all the same as when they met last time.

"Father, are you looking for me?" He bowed casually to Jia Jing, then bowed to Lin Shu.

Jia Jing seemed to be used to Jia Zhen who looked like this. After motioning him to sit down, he asked, "Do you recognize Bai Mudan?"

"White Peony? Which White Peony?" Jia Zhen asked in confusion.

Lin Shu reminded: "It is Bai Mudan, the oiran of Yuntai Pavilion!"

After Lin Shu's reminder, Jia Zhen suddenly realized, and he said to Jia Jing: "So it's her! I know her, but my son hasn't been out of the house for a long time, and I haven't seen her for almost two months. Why? Shouldn't it be?" Is it someone from Yuntai Pavilion who came to the door? But I owe 800 taels of silver, what about it?"

Jia Zhen's words made Jia Jing keep calm all the time. Finally, he slammed the table and cursed angrily: "You bastard, the face of the Jia family is about to ruin you!"

Lin Shu thought to himself, it's really embarrassing.Unexpectedly, the former head of the Ningguo Mansion, the former patriarch of the Jia family, owed 800 taels of silver to the brothel.

Jia Jing directly picked up the teacup in hand, and threw it at Jia Zhen with a whoosh.With the sound of porcelain breaking, he scolded and asked: "Let me ask you, what is the matter between you and that oiran? She has a fetus in her womb, and it has been more than three months. How likely is it to be yours?"

"Fetus? Father means that Mudan is three months pregnant?"

Jia Zhen seemed to have thought of something, and shouted excitedly: "Haha, I'm really good at it. I conquered in three days and won the first place in one fell swoop..."

Pa, Jia Jing couldn't bear it anymore, got up quickly and kicked Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen, who was kicked to the ground, was still very excited, his eyes were no longer dull, but a strange light flashed: "Father, the peony was given to my son for the first time, and my son told the old bustard at that time that she was not allowed to give it to me again." Let Peony pick up the guest, originally wanted to go home and get money to redeem him..."

Jia Jing kicked the worthless son again, and scolded angrily: "Redemption? He has been hidden by Huoqiu Jinwu now, what kind of person are you redeeming?"

　Thank you for the 1500 starting coins that were rewarded for not looking at the genuine ones before.

　　Riwan's plan fell through. I will use a speech tomorrow morning. It will be eleven o'clock after I finish writing it. I will update a chapter first and continue tomorrow.
