serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 405 Unsatisfactory
Jia Hu smiled: "Hey, where is Yang Dayong?"

Yingchun said angrily: "You asked him to increase the intensity of training at the Sword Shield Camp. No, he moved to the military camp for two days."

Jia Hu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. This guy was too honest.

Yingchun continued: "Third sister, fourth sister and sister Bao will be here soon. Let's have dinner with the second sister-in-law."

Jia Hu was startled: "Hey, you have to hurry up." After saying that, he opened the food box that Amber placed on the table, took out a bowl of longevity noodles from it, handed it to Lin Daiyu along with a pair of chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Don't let the living bandits see you."

Yingchun laughed again: "Second brother is still so joking."

Amber burst out laughing and quickly held it back.

Lin Daiyu took the steaming bowl of longevity noodles and took a sip. Then she said to Jia Hu, "It's a bit bland." Then she started eating.

Jia Hu smiled: "It's better to be lighter."

Yingchun was stunned for a moment and said to Lin Daiyu: "Second sister-in-law, is this done by my second brother?"

Lin Daiyu and Jia Hu looked at each other and smiled.

Doctor Wang specifically asked to eat less pasta. Now Lin Daiyu only eats two or three steamed buns in the morning and no pasta at night, so Jia Hu made a piece of longevity noodles that are not very long-lasting.

Lin Daiyu put down the bowl, took the warm water handed over by Amber, rinsed her mouth, and said to Yingchun: "I heard from your second brother that Yang Dayong lost his parents when he was very young and learned how to cook well." After saying this, she looked at her with a smile. .

Yingchun replied softly: "He did it once. I didn't let him do it."

After a pause, "He is an uncle after all, and people are laughing at him."

Jia Hu smiled: "You also need to learn a little, not too much, just be able to cook a bowl of porridge. This guy is a very emotional person. If you cook a bowl of porridge for him with your own hands, he will remember your kindness for the rest of his life."

Having said this, he looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "No matter how troublesome I am, as long as I drink the porridge cooked by your sister-in-law, I will have no worries at all."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu turned her head to the other side arrogantly.

Yingchun blinked and said, "I understand."

At this time, Amber packed up the dishes and walked out with the food box in hand, "Hey, what's going on?"

Listening to Amber's exclamation, Jia Hu stood up.

"Why are Miss Bao crying?" Amber's voice came again.

"No, let the wind blow." Baochai's voice.

Jia Hu sat down, and then Yingchun stood up again and looked at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was delighted: "What do you want me to do?"

Before she could finish her words, sisters Tanchun, Xichun, Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan and Li Wen and Li Qi came in with a smile and said to Lin Daiyu: "The door is crowded with birthday greeters, please bring some noodles to us."

Jia Hu stood up and greeted: "Sit down, everyone, sit down, hurry up and serve some good tea."

Zijuan had already prepared tea and snacks in the small dining room, and brought tea with Xueyan, Qingwen, and Xiangling, and also served fruit snacks.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "I won't return the gift to you."

Xiangyun took Xichun and Xing Xiuyan and said, "Second sister-in-law, please sit down while we wish you birthday." After saying that, he said long blessings to Lin Daiyu.

Tan Chun, sisters Li Wen and Li Qi also came over to wish Lin Daiyu a happy birthday and wish her good luck.

Lin Daiyu smiled and waved her hand: "Sit down, sit down." As she said that, she glanced outside the door.

At this time, Xichun blinked a few times and said, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten longevity noodles?"

Lin Daiyu thought for a long time, then turned to Jia Hu and said, "Did I eat it?"

Jia Hu was startled: "Well, Doctor Wang ordered you to eat less pasta."

Yingchun splashed a mouthful of tea on the ground, and then burst into laughter.

Xichun turned his head and glanced at her, "Second sister, why are you laughing?"

Yingchun held back her laughter and said, "No, it's nothing. It's just that the second brother told a joke just now." She laughed again.

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled. In this family, Jia Hu's biggest headache was Xichun. Faced with this girl's bullying, Jia Hu could only call her a "living bandit" behind her back.

Xichun wrinkled her little nose: "I smell the fragrance of noodles."

After hearing this, Jia Hu quickly changed the topic: "Hey, didn't I say that Miss Bao is here too, where are the people?"

Tanchun and others looked at each other and fell silent.Jia Hu: "What's wrong?"

At this moment, Baochai and Baoqin walked in and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, long blessings and longevity. We are here to wish second sister-in-law a happy birthday." While saying this, they said long blessings to Lin Daiyu.

Jia Hu took a closer look and saw that although Xue Baochai was smiling, she looked listless and her eyes looked like she was crying, which was very different from the past.

At this time, Lin Daiyu coughed and asked Baochai and Baoqin to sit down and have tea.

Jia Hu thought for a while and realized that it was her sister-in-law Xia Jingui who was causing trouble again.

It's said that I blame Xue Pan. This guy couldn't change his habit of eating shit, so he married Xia Jingui. As soon as the excitement wore off, he fell in love with Xia Jingui's maid Bao Chan, and he slept with her under the influence of wine.

This was nothing at first, but Xia Jingui quit and started fighting with Xue Pan. The most terrible thing was that Baochan was released by the Xia family and became an ordinary citizen.

If this breaks out and the charges are proven, Xue Pan will be hanged.

After all, she had never experienced a big scene before, so Aunt Xue was so frightened that she agreed to Xia Jingui's request and let Xue Pan take Bao Chan as her concubine.

When he learned the news, Jia Hu was stunned. Taking a concubine during a national mourning period was also a serious crime, and he was dismissed from his post and his home was ransacked.

Feeling embarrassed, Xue Pan slapped her butt and left, leaving Aunt Xue to be manipulated.

Jia Hu still can't figure it out. Why does Xia Jingui have to make a fuss when she can just live a good life?
At this time, Xiangyun came over and whispered a few words into Jia Hu's ear.

After hearing her words, Jia Hu frowned. It turned out that Xia Jingui was drinking too much at home, so she asked Bao Chan to make her a hangover soup.

That Bao Chan was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. Now that he had become Xue Pan's concubine, he did not pay much attention to Xia Jingui, saying that he was not feeling well and was unwilling to go.

Xia Jingui was already very angry. Hearing this, he couldn't bear it anymore. He got down from the kang and beat Baochan.It was also the custom of the Xia family that Bao Chan wouldn't give in at all, causing a lot of trouble.

Forget it if it was normal time, Xiangyun, Tanchun and Baochai happened to be talking in Aunt Xue's room. Aunt Xue couldn't sit still, so she went to persuade her, but she was yelled at by the angry Xia Jingui.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai quickly spoke for Aunt Xue, but Xia Jingui retorted, "Good girl, good girl, you are a great virtuous man. You will definitely have a good family and a good son-in-law in the future. I didn't have any guidance from my parents when I was a child. , but I also know that there are many princesses and noble concubines in the world. Please wake up and don’t end up like me marrying a foolish man and becoming a widow. That would be a fool’s errand!”

This sentence directly poked Baochai's most painful point and broke his defense.

Jia Hu sighed, maybe this was her fate.

Xiangyun: "Second brother?"

Jia Hu came back to his senses: "Yeah. What's wrong?"

Xiangyun pointed to the door: "Mother Wang is looking for you."

Jia Hu looked up and saw Grandma Wang standing at the door looking at him.

"You guys sit down for now, I'll be back in a moment."

After finishing speaking, Jia Hu said to Lin Daiyu: "Sit down for a while and then get up and take a walk."

Lin Daiyu smiled: "I know, go ahead."

Jia Hu smiled at everyone and nodded, got up and walked out.

As soon as she saw Jia Hu coming out, Grandma Wang immediately reported, "Jiao Da is here."

Jia Hu's steps hesitated for a moment, then strode out of the courtyard.

Jiao Da was already waiting under the big tree outside the courtyard gate.

Jia Hu walked over and asked, "Did the results come out at Daming Palace?"

Jiao Da: "Yes. Except for the military power of the Military and Horse Division, almost everything was done. In addition, nothing was found in the study rooms of Zhu Qizhen and Liang Jianzhang." He told the things in the palace again.

After hearing what he said, Jia Hu couldn't help but frown. Not only was Mei Changwen's son Mei Zonglu not implicated, he also became a doctor in the household department, which was protected by the old concubine. It seemed that she should know something.

Generally speaking, it is somewhat unsatisfactory. Although Mei Changwen was dismissed from office and seven senior officials of the Mei Party were convicted, most of the Mei Party officials are still in office. Now Mei Zonglu has entered the Ministry of Household Affairs again, which means that he is inheriting his father's legacy.

After experiencing this incident, the capital side will not be able to take action for a while, and can only wait for the east wind from the south. It is still necessary to cut a knife in the body of the royalists and the "clean streamers" to slim down the civil servant group.
Jia Hu thought for a while and then focused on Jiao Da: "Find a way to find out the news from the Zhen family and see what the emperor said to Zhen Yingjia before his death."

Jiao Da did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before replying: "It's not easy, the Zhen family are all old people now."

Jia Hu: "Go and ask the great master, he should have a solution."

"Tell the lord, today is the princess's birthday, no killing is allowed." Jia Hu added.

Jiao Da: "Yes." He answered and walked out again.
