Chapter 87 Meals
Jia He said to Baozhu: "Remember to mention to your grandma that Miss Lin is jealous of me being noticed by others. Make sure to bring her with you next time you call someone, otherwise I won't be able to bear hearing her sour look."

The sisters all laughed.

Baozhu was also happy and grinning from ear to ear.

Lin Daiyu pinched Jia He's face and gritted her teeth deliberately: "With your mouth, no one can be spared!"

After laughing for a moment, Jia He followed Baozhu's guidance and walked along the secluded path towards the house inside.The road was covered with dense shade and flowers bloomed beside it. After wandering around for a long time, we finally arrived at a yard at the back.

A maid saw Baozhu from a distance and ran into the house to report that the fifth girl had entered the yard and would be there soon.

Qin Keqing stood up hurriedly and said to the people around him: "Fifth sister is here, let her talk to you for a while." After that, he walked out.

Seeing Jia He, Qin Keqing held up her skirt and hurried to greet him. She turned around and looked at the people in the room who had their heads lowered and didn't pay attention, so she whispered: "The prince of the Hou Mansion seems to have caused some trouble, and Mrs. Hou refuses to go along with it." I'll tell you in detail. I saw that she looked worried and she was familiar with you, so I took the initiative and called you over. Just chat with her for a while and let her relax."

Jia He nodded in agreement, and Qin Keqing left.When Jia He entered the room, he happened to see Mrs. Jinxiang Hou wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She just pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "I heard that Grandma Rong also invited you two days ago. I thought I would be too lazy to come, but when I heard that you were coming, I rushed here early in the morning. I just couldn’t find anyone.”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou really didn't regard Sister He as an outsider. When she saw her coming, she immediately showed joy. Just when she was about to speak, she found that there were several maids in the room, so she asked all the people serving her to leave and closed the door from the outside. It's closed.Then he said: "He's not your incompetent eldest uncle. He's so unreliable that he almost sold his house!"

The eldest son's uncle she spoke of was Hong Wenchang, the eldest son of the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion.He was Hong Shuren's biological brother. Because Hong Shuren regarded Jia Huo as one of their own, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou called him this affectionately.

While Mrs. Jinxiang Hou was speaking, tears came out again.

Jia He didn't expect such a thing, and hurriedly handed over the handkerchief: "Tell me slowly, what happened to the prince? I haven't seen you for a while, and I thought you were busy with something else. I didn't expect that there was someone at home." misfortune."

Mrs. Marquis of Jinxiang was embarrassed to say this to others, but Sister He had watched the various embarrassments of her family, so when she talked about it to Sister He, she did not feel any psychological burden at all.

"I don't know which fool he has followed recently, and he actually learned how to gamble." Mrs. Jinxiang Hou burst into tears: "I didn't have time to tell you before, but I heard that one of the people who led him to this stubborn direction was your in-laws. A brother. I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to get rid of the relationship if the two meet. Thinking about it, I haven't been to Rongguo Mansion recently, so it's fine here at Ningguo Mansion. I didn't want to talk to you about this, but who can I talk to? Are you going to talk about it? I can only have a few words with you."

relatives by marriage?brothers?
Jia He had a bad premonition in his heart: "You are talking about..."

"That brother named Xue." Mrs. Jinxiang Hou said: "I haven't been to Rongguo Mansion recently, I just heard that he lives there. Today is a banquet in Ningguo Mansion, so I brought you there My incompetent uncle comes over for a visit."

After hearing this, Jia He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is a bit of a coincidence. That uncle Xue also came to Ningguo Mansion today. I wonder if he will meet the prince."

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou squeezed the handkerchief tightly: "Why is he here? Didn't he say that Suning's government invites him to a banquet, but he can't come even once in ten times? Why is he here now? No, I have to go. Take a look. That kid from Wenchang has a soft temper, don't let him coax you out of proportion and cause trouble." After saying that, he didn't want to stay for a moment longer, got up and walked out.As she walked along the way, she sent someone to ask where her son was.Seeing that no one knew for a while, he simply asked Xue Pan where he was.Xue Pan had caused some trouble just now, and all the maids and wives knew about him, so they told Mrs. Jinxiang Hou.In this way, we went to the outer courtyard while asking questions.

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou is a married woman, so it is very convenient for her to go to the outer courtyard.As Xue Baochai is Xue Pan's biological sister, it will be easy for her brother to get into trouble.

It was not convenient for Jia He to go, so he simply returned to the garden to be with his sisters.After looking at the flowers and wandering around for a while, I saw that lunch had been put on the table and it was about to start, but Mrs. Jinxiang Hou did not come back.

She was thinking about sending someone to look for him, whether it was Mrs. Hou or the Prince.Unexpectedly, just after thinking about it, before sending anyone out, I saw a mother from the Hou Mansion trotting over and kept calling: "Miss He! Miss He!"

This mother is the companion of Mrs. Jinxiang Hou and is very important.This time she was not with Mrs. Jinxiang Hou, but she must have been with the Crown Prince Hong Wenchang.

Zhu's mother was so happy to see Jia He that she didn't care about the rules and etiquette. She called Jia He to a deserted place and said anxiously: "Uncle Xue ran out with my eldest son. I don't know where he went to hang out. The good thing is that Madam couldn't stop shouting and was so angry that she almost fainted. If nothing happens, girl, can you help me go see Madam? "

Only then did she notice the banquet that was being prepared, and she quickly said, "Girl, eat first, we'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later." She was about to turn around and leave.

Jia He stopped her and said, "If Madam is unwell, I will feel uneasy. You can eat anytime, it doesn't matter if it's later. Just wait for me for a moment and I'll talk to them."

Without waiting for Zhu's mother to refuse, she went to Lin Daiyu and the others and said that Mrs. Hou had something to do and needed to leave for a while.

Yingchun was worried: "You haven't eaten yet, why don't you go later."

Lin Daiyu said, "Since you're here to look for me during the meal, it must be a big deal. Just go ahead and I'll ask someone to leave some food for you." After saying that, someone prepared a box of snacks and stuffed them into Jia He's hand: "If you're hungry, just take some rest first. Once you're done, you'll come back. As for Grandma Rong, I'll talk to her."

After Jia He thanked her, he hurriedly followed his mother.Originally, she thought that since Mrs. Jinxiang Hou was almost fainting, she should rest in the guest room.Who would have thought that Zhu's mother would lead her to the carriage.

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou was lying on her carriage, her eyes closed and her eyebrows furrowed.The face that was usually well-maintained seemed to have aged ten years at this moment, showing an old look at this age.

Hearing the noise, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Jia He and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you here?" Turning her eyes and seeing Zhu's mother, she immediately understood and said angrily: "You old bastard, you are going at this time." Excuse me, Sister He! Do you have the dignity and shame to prevent this girl from having a good meal?"

Her voice was stern and she was furious.

I wish my mother fell to her knees and burst into tears.
