From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 383 Aunt Xue's Concerns
Of course, it was impossible for Jia Wei to spend the night in the Princess's Mansion. Otherwise, if something happened, the people under him would not be able to find him.

So he played until lighted, then returned to the mansion and asked Xiangling to serve dinner.

When Baochai, Daiyu and others heard that he had returned, they all went to the main courtyard.

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "You're eating so late? No matter how busy you are outside, you can't be too busy to have no time to eat."

"I'm too busy to care about these things."

Jia Wei said this, glancing at Aunt Xue's dignified face. It seemed that his mother-in-law had adjusted her mentality...

Baochai scooped a bowl of soup for him and whispered, "The old lady heard that mother is here, and she wants to host a banquet for our family tomorrow. She wants to ask if you are free."

"What day is tomorrow?" Jia Wei looked at Daiyu.

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Since grandma invites us, we must go. If you are free, come with us. If not, then we can go together, mother and daughter."

Jia Wei was surprised to hear this. He looked at Aunt Xue and pinched Daiyu's face again.

Isn’t it enough for Aunt Xue to marry one of her daughters into the Marquis’s Mansion, she also wants to hold Daiyu under her control?
Aunt Xue felt a little guilty and avoided his gaze. Baochai said, "I heard that the Zhen family came to Beijing today and met the old lady. Could it be related to this matter?"

"Oh, it can only be the Zhen family's business."

Jia Wei took a sip of soup, thoughtful.

The Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives and have a very good relationship, which is no worse than their relationship with the other three families, Wang, Shi, and Xue.

How good was their relationship? The Jia family had 50,000 taels of silver, which was kept at the Zhen family. When Jia Yun went south to hire a troupe of actors, he would go to the Zhen family to withdraw the money.

After the Zhen family was confiscated, they also stored their valuables in the Jia family. Money is the foundation of life, and it can be said that the two families are in a life-and-death relationship with each other...

Wait, the people from the Zhen family who are coming this time will not transfer the valuables to the Jia family on the way, right?

Jia Wei was almost certain that the Zhen family was not stupid. A new emperor appointed new ministers. If they could not pay back the money, their property would be confiscated, so they naturally wanted to keep some assets.

Now that the Jia family has him, the Rong Mansion will be protected by his remaining influence no matter what, and it does not seem to be facing a political crisis or decline in the short term, so of course he can keep the money for the Zhen family.

Jia Wei shook his head. If the Rongguo Mansion really hid items for the Zhen family to avoid the house being searched, then that would be the root of disaster... Of course, this matter had nothing to do with him.

In addition to transferring assets, the Zhen family probably wants to use the Rongguo Mansion to plead with him. Anyway, it's troublesome.

Baochai and Aunt Xue knew it was official business outside, so they didn't ask any more questions. Daiyu was simple-minded and asked curiously, "What's going on at the Zhen family?"

Jia Wei wiped his mouth and asked someone to take the food away.

He said succinctly: "The palace ordered me to raid the Zhen family. The Zhen family is anxious and has come to the capital to ask for mercy through connections."

The three girls were all shocked, and Aunt Xue's jaw dropped: "The Zhen family is going to be raided?"

The head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia, is the president of the Jinling Provincial Tiren Academy. The Zhen family is very powerful in Jiangnan, even more powerful than the Jia family. Compared with them, the Xue family is not worth mentioning.

Such a huge company is about to be defeated? Aunt Xue was filled with emotion, and was glad that the Xue family could be with Jia Wei...

After drinking the tea served by the maid, Jia Wei pulled Daiyu over and hugged her. Daiyu was embarrassed and slapped him with her hand, but was unable to get up in Jia Wei's arms. She looked up at Aunt Xue, then lowered her head shyly, and had no time to think about the affairs of the Zhen family.

"Did the Zhen family commit a crime? Why did they end up with their property confiscated?" Aunt Xue asked.

Seeing the intimacy between Jia Wei and Daiyu, I suddenly thought that they were just newlyweds and their relationship was as sweet as honey.

Men are always tired of the old and love the new. If Baochai loses power, she may not even be able to sit on the position of Marquis's wife. How will the Xue family cope with it then...

Aunt Xue was in a state of confusion and felt upset.

Jia Wei didn't know what she was thinking, so he said casually, "Hasn't the Zhen family received the emperor four times? They borrowed money from the Ministry of Revenue. They have too much debt and can't pay it back now. They have to confiscate their property to pay it back." He hugged Daiyu tightly and said, "I won't go tomorrow. I don't want to play along with them. As for you, just give them a perfunctory response. If you mention what's happening outside, just say you don't know."

After hearing this, Daiyu and Baochai agreed to everything.

Aunt Xue wanted to sleep in Hengwu Garden with Baochai, so Jia Wei went to stay overnight in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After entering the garden, Jia Wei took Daiyu away to a secluded path. They did not bring any maids with them and toured the garden under the moonlight.

Today happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon is full.

In the pavilion, Jia Wei and Daiyu sat on the Xiangfei bamboo stool, hugging each other. They saw the moon at its zenith, which looked even more wonderful and lovely than before.

Daiyu was admiring the moon, and Jia Wei was of course looking at her. Seeing that her dewy eyes seemed to be filled with stars, he moved closer and kissed her red lips.

Daiyu uttered a moan, shyly.

He put his arms around Daiyu's slender waist, which was as delicate as a willow swaying in the wind, and ate for a while before continuing to admire the moon.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew, and the surface of the pond was rippling like wrinkled green water, which made people feel refreshed and refreshed.

Daiyu smiled and said, "It would be nice to get on the boat and enjoy the moon."

"Okay, let's go take the boat now."

As soon as Jia Wei agreed, Daiyu changed her mind and said, "Forget it, forget it. The ancients said it well, 'If you want perfection, what's the point of being happy?' Now everything is very good, but you still want to take a boat. It's too greedy. The boat is still on the other side, and we have to go around a long way."

Jia Wei couldn't help laughing, so do you want it or not?
He didn't bother to think too much, and just picked up Daiyu, "Why take a detour? Let's just fly over there."

After saying this, he flew out holding Daiyu in his arms, tapped lightly on the lotus leaves on the lake, and soared up again, reaching the other side in a flash.

Daiyu was so delighted that her smile was like two crescent moons. Then the two of them boarded the boat and sailed on the pond.

There was a bright moon in the sky and a moon in the water in the pool, competing with each other for brilliance, as if one were in a crystal palace or a mermaid room.

Daiyu burst into laughter, and Jia Wei hugged her soft body, and on a whim, he wanted to go on this boat...

But based on Daiyu's personality, she would definitely not agree.

Besides, Daiyu is still young, so she should just have a taste of this little Loli. Doing it too frequently would hurt her body.

The moon was bright and the wind was clear. The sky and the ground were clear. Listening to Daiyu's silver bell-like laughter, Jia Wei felt that his worries were relieved and all his troubles were gone...

Aunt Xue looked at a dark shadow on the pond, lowered the window, and listened to Daiyu's sweet laughter, feeling more and more irritated.

She turned and looked at Baochai: "Bao girl, it's been half a year, why is there still no movement in your stomach?"

"Mom!" Baochai blushed slightly.

"It's natural for a girl to get married and have children. Tell me what's wrong?" Aunt Xue sat on the bed and hugged Baochai. "He won't stop you from getting pregnant, will he?"

Baochai bowed her head and said, "He said that Yu'er and I are still young, so there is no rush."

"You are still young?" Aunt Xue said, "When I was your age, I had already given birth to Pan'er! In two years, I will have you. You are already old enough."

Baochai was shy and turned away, but Aunt Xue pulled her back and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. There are so many women in this mansion, and your position will only be secure if you give birth to a son."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Look at Yu'er. Ke'er said that Yu'er's father is going to join the cabinet. You don't have the support of your father and brothers, so you can only rely on your own belly to make a name for yourself..."
