Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 495 Unexpected, like a sea visit

"Old lady, the master is back!"

In Rongguo Duke's mansion, there is a little maid who walks into Rongqing hall and reports to Jiamu.

At this time, Rongqing Hall was already full of people, and most of the big family members were there.

There are Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, and Youshi from Dongfu.

There are girls, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai, etc. are among them.

Hearing the servant girl's report, Jia's mother stepped forward and waved.

"What did the master say?"

The servant girl said again: "The master said to change his official uniform first, so he came over to greet the old lady, and said that the previous matter has been settled, and asked the old lady to call Grandpa Bao back!"

Hearing this, Mother Jia's expression relaxed, and she immediately smiled.

"It's good to come, it's good to come!!"

When everyone heard Jia Mu's words, their expressions were relieved. They both hated and loved that brother. Sometimes the other party didn't give the family any face so that they couldn't get down, but they envied the other party's power , always thinking of getting some connections.

"Yuanyang, you go there and tell the school to let Baoyu come back first!"

Mrs. Wang heard Jiamu's order, got up and said, "Old lady, don't dare to bother the people around you with this matter, let Jin Chuan'er go! Yuanyang is a careful girl, she stays with you to take care of her, and she can do it with ease." !"

Wang Xifeng who was on the side also smiled and said: "Madam is right, it is a good thing after all, and it is the master's order. I will definitely not look for Baoyu's mistakes. Why is the ancestor worried?"

"That's right, that's right!!"

You Shi, who was on the side, also started talking, and when everyone looked at her, she continued, "It's just calling someone. Don't tell me that the ethnology side dare not let it go, let the mandarin ducks stay!"

Yuanyang looked at Jiamu, but did not speak, and was still waiting for news from Jiamu.

Although there was everyone's consolation, the final decision on this matter was still in the hands of Jia Mu. If Jia Mu insisted on her going, she would not dare to disobey.

But Mother Jia listened to everyone's consolation, and thought that this matter was arranged by Jia Zheng. Now that Mrs. Wang is here, she also said something, and she was thinking for herself inside and outside the words. She might as well refute the other party. face.

Asking Jia Baoyu to come over was also his father's idea. As for what to do, she knew what to do, so she didn't force her anymore. Should she let Yuanyang go or Jin Chuaner, the maid beside Mrs. Wang?
"Forget it! Forget it. Since you all have such filial piety, I won't mind my own business, old lady. Let Jin Chuaner go! If you don't let him go, just say it's my intention."

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Wang Xifeng walked over with lotus steps lightly, took Yuanyang's hand and said, "Old ancestor, to put it nicely, you are not a mandarin duck. If it doesn't suit your wishes at that time, it will be a sin! So, let Sister Yuanyang stay!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, even Jia's mother scolded Wang Xifeng for being a monkey.

Then Wang Xifeng said again: "Jin Chuan'er, just go and invite. If you really don't agree, just tell the truth. Although the master intends to urge Baoyu to study and has issued strict orders, today is a good day after all, so I won't blame you."

Jin Chuan'er on the side nodded, and took orders from Mrs. Wang again, without hesitation, saluted the grandmas respectfully, opened the curtain and went out.

After Jin Chuan'er left, several people in the room started chatting again, but what they said all pointed to one person, and that was the champion Hou Jiagong who had returned from overseas.

"By the way, old lady, Ruhai said yesterday that he would come to visit today, will this affect it?"

As if thinking of something, Mrs. Wang's tone became a little solemn.

When the other people present heard this, their expressions were different for a moment. At this moment, whether it is Lin Ruhai or Jia Gong, their power above the court is not comparable to that of Jia's family.

Speaking of which, Yuan Chun conferred noble concubines, and they were honored, but for Yuan Chun, they didn't have much help. Above the court, the highest officials were just like Jia Zheng, a mere fifth-rank .

As for Lin Ruhai and Jia Gong, one is the head of civil servants and a cabinet minister, and the other is the respected military officer, a majestic Zuo Zhuguo. Although Jia Gong has never used this identity, it still exists.

Jia Mu pondered for a moment, not knowing what to do for a while.

When Lin Ruhai came to pay a visit to his mother-in-law, he couldn't say that he turned her down.

"When did this happen, why didn't I receive the news??"

Mother Jia's tone was a little displeased, and Mrs. Wang stood up quickly when she heard the words.

"Old lady, when Ruhai sent someone to deliver the news yesterday, it was quite late. I thought you had already rested, so I didn't dare to bother you anymore. I planned to talk about it today. The thing I said during breakfast , that is what Ruhai wants to visit!"

Hearing Mrs. Wang's explanation, Mother Jia frowned slightly. She still remembered that Mrs. Wang raised her mouth during breakfast, but at that time, she pressed the button to stop the meal for herself.

Thinking about it this way, she relaxed in her heart, and then thinking about it, she shook her head in her heart again. In fact, even if she talked about it at that time, it might be too late.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother complained in her heart that Jia Zheng was careless in handling this matter. The matter between her granddaughter and Jia Gong ended in that way, and she had to say that there was no relationship.

"That's all! That's it!"

There was no good idea at the moment, so Mother Jia finally sighed and settled the matter for the time being.

When everyone heard Jia Mu's case, they glanced at each other and nodded.

The girls on the side have different expressions, so it turns out!They are all envious of Miss Lin's excellent marriage.

This brother who walked out of the East Mansion, no matter his appearance or ability, he had nothing to say, plus the other party's temperament, he was almost rare among the aristocratic families in the capital.

It is said that the princes and grandchildren are probably not as good as Jia Ju, and Jia Ju is single, and his parents left early, if he really married, he doesn't have to set the rules for his mother-in-law.

It is undeniable that even the best mother-in-law has conflicts with her daughter-in-law.

Just like the current Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, regardless of their age, if Mother Jia really told them to behave, they would not be able to say anything, because this is the rule of this era.

So this is also the reason why Madam Wang stood up in horror just now.

Originally, getting married and starting a business in this era is generally arranged marriages, and the emphasis is on being well-matched. Most of the reasons are that the younger generation is limited by their age. If they want to marry a wife and have children, their strength is simply not enough, especially in a big family. After that, you have the right to speak in your life.

After that, no matter what you do, you will be restrained by the elders, and there are very few people like Jia Gong who have achieved such fame alone at a young age.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation in the eyes of most people, especially those girls who already know the ups and downs of life.

And those like Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu are what the young masters of aristocratic families should look like in this era.

"Sister Bao, what do you think of Brother Gong? He's taller or shorter, fatter or thinner. I heard that at his age, he's growing fast!"

Xiangyun didn't go to talk to those adults, but chatted with Xue Baochai who was beside him.

The attire on Baochai's body is basically the same, mainly plain, the only thing she wears is her gold collar, and a piece of unremarkable jade, a piece of warm jade.

Xue Baochai smiled and shook her head.

"Look at what you said, it's less than half a year, no matter how fast it grows, there must be a limit, right?"

Tanchun on the side was a little emotional.

"Brother Gong went to sea for three months in order to find a fetish for the court. I'm not in the court. I don't know much about that thing, but I heard that it has a great effect and has contributed to the community."

"I heard that it seems to be an edible thing!"

Yingchun changed her previous silence and interrupted.

Hearing this, Xue Baochai nodded lightly. These girls don't touch the spring water with their ten fingers. They don't pay too much attention to those things. She is different. She helps her mother take care of the shop. For the things outside, She knows a lot.

Today, the price of simple food has more than doubled compared to a year ago, but don't underestimate the doubled price. Food is related to whether the people can eat enough. Such a price of food shows that many people can't afford it. full.

Afterwards, she also inquired. The grain output is not high now, not because the farmers have become lazy, but because of the weather.

There was a severe drought in Shandong and Henan, and there was almost no harvest. In recent years, because of the weather, grain production has dropped sharply. This is the reason why grain prices across the country have fluctuated so much.

And what Jia Gong was looking for was a cold-resistant crop. If it was true, it would be a great achievement and a blessing to all people.

"If it's true, then it's really a fetish, food is the most important thing for the people!!"
