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

Chapter 389 Zhen Jia
Jia Wei bowed calmly: "Old lady."

A chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on Jia's old face. Since the "Dai" generation, the Jia family had only one person as outstanding as Jia Wei in three generations.

Now, in front of the women of the Zhen, Wang and Shi families, she can finally show off.

Also, because Jia Wei was the only capable person in the Jia family, Grandmother Jia usually turned a blind eye to Jia Wei's behavior and even gave away her personal maid Yuanyang.

"Sit down, sit down quickly! Amber, pour some tea for Er Ge'er."

Jia Wei walked straight to the group of girls where Tanchun and Xiangyun were and sat down next to Yuanchun.

Yuanchun still greeted them with a smile, and others could not notice anything unusual.

"Brother, this is your sister-in-law from the Zhen family."

Upon hearing this, Jia Wei looked over and saw that Su was a typical Jiangnan woman, quiet, peaceful, gentle and charming, with a pretty face, fair skin, an exquisite figure, and a gentle and attractive temperament.

Su smiled at first, but when she saw that Jia Wei had no reaction, she thought for a moment and stood up.

"I am Zhen Su, a commoner, and I am honored to meet you, Lord Marquis."

Jia Wei waved his hands quickly: "This is not in court, Sister-in-law Zhen is very reserved."

"I have often heard about your deeds in the Southern Province, winning the martial arts exam, suppressing rebellions and saving the emperor, fighting with Wei Ao... It sounds like a story in a book. Today, thanks to the old lady, I finally got to see the real person!"

Su's pair of peach blossom eyes and her smile completely hit Jia Wei's aesthetic point.

Jia Wei couldn't help but wonder, why didn't the Zhen family commit more crimes, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Su and make her his own...

Later, Grandmother Jia introduced Mrs. Li from the Wang family and Mrs. Shi from the Shi family, and Jia Wei had a blank expression on his face.

At this time, Hubo came forward to pour tea for Jia Wei, and Daiyu also came over and took it from her: "Let me do it."

Daiyu was pouring tea, and Amber was standing behind her, smiling at Jia Wei.

Jia Wei remained calm and looked her up and down.

He has seen countless women, so of course he received the message released by Amber.

What, you want to improve too?

After Daiyu finished pouring the tea, Jia Wei pulled her to sit aside. Grandmother Jia, who was sitting upstairs, was also relieved to see the loving appearance of the two. After all, she still valued Daiyu, her granddaughter, very much.

"You two young couple are very harmonious." Grandmother Jia said with a smile.

Wang Xifeng also joked: "Luckily Bao-ya-tou passed away early, otherwise she would have felt bad after seeing this!"

"Sister Bao would never..." Daiyu looked shy.

At that moment, the girls waiting to be married, such as Tanchun, Yingchun, Xiangyun and Yuanchun, were all envious when they saw Daiyu's happy face. As for Li Wan, Su and others who had been widowed early in life, they were even more sad.

"Old lady, don't be fooled by Yu'er. When has she ever served me tea in the house? In front of outsiders, she is very well-behaved."

Daiyu said hurriedly: "Look how heartless you are!"

She naturally refused, and the couple played around for a while, leaving Su and Li with embarrassed faces. Jia Wei said they were outsiders, and his attitude was obvious...

"Why can't I see Baoyu?"

Grandmother Jia's face turned dark. Jia Wei really brought up things that were not relevant to the topic!
Mrs. Wang, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Baoyu went to the Imperial College today. He was tired from studying. The old lady had someone pick up some vegetables and send them to his courtyard in the evening. He has gone to bed now."

"Studying is hard? I guess you're studying very hard. You'll be able to go to school next spring."

When Jia Wei said this, Mrs. Wang felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit and stopped talking.

Su smiled and said, "Baoyu is similar to our brother. They both love to play. They are both older and can concentrate on their studies. It won't be too late for them to take the exam again."

"That's right." Everyone agreed. Jia Wei just smiled and said nothing. If the Zhen family fell into decline in the future, Zhen Baoyu would be able to work hard to improve himself. As for Jia Baoyu, he was still the same...

After a few jokes, Jia's mother asked Li Wan to take a few girls downstairs to rest, and then started to talk about business.

Among them, the Wang family and the Shi family did not want to cut their own flesh and blood to repay the money, but the Zhen family was in a desperate situation, and of course the Su family was the most anxious.

"Brother Wei, please tell me the truth about the Zhen family and point out a clear way..."

Jia Wei played with Daiyu's hair and couldn't help laughing: "What else can I do about paying off debts?"

"I dare not hide it from the old lady and brother, my family originally borrowed a large sum of money from the Ministry of Revenue in order to welcome the emperor. Now even if we sell our property, it will not be enough to fill the hole."

Su's smile was a little stiff: "I heard that the Jinyiwei is in charge of the Zhen family's case. I hope that Brother Wei will be flexible for the sake of the relationship between our two families."

The widow's humble and desperate begging look really made people feel sorry for her...

Jia Wei smiled faintly: "Recovering the deficit in the national treasury is the order of the palace. Sister-in-law Zhen wants me to disobey the order?"

Su's face turned pale: "I dare not..."

She wanted to say something else, but Jia Wei interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "It's hard to see a turnaround for the Zhen family. I feel it's a difficult situation. Besides, the Wang and Shi families, madams, do you two want to pay back the money?"

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Shi looked a little unhappy. How could they respond to Jia Wei's words?

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment, and Fengjie suddenly said, "That's not the point. Since it's the palace's intention to collect the debts, who dares to disobey? But can the amount be less? Or can we have a more comfortable life..."

Jia Wei glanced at her, and Wang Xifeng quickly touched her belly. Jia Wei sneered but said nothing more.

At once, all the women in the room echoed in agreement. Jia Wei ignored them and just looked at Daiyu: "What do you think?"

Daiyu glared back at him. When had she ever cared about what was happening outside?

But everyone was watching, and Daiyu could only say vaguely: "What Sister-in-law Lian said makes sense."

"Since you said so..." Jia Wei smiled, and the others looked at him, holding their breath and waiting for his next words.

"Then the Wang and Shi families should just pay back the debts they owed since the third year of Xuanwu, and they can pay it off this year."

Li and Mrs. Shi were very happy when they heard this. They thanked Jia Wei and his wife and flattered them, and tried to coax Jia Mu...

Jia Wei said, "This is what I said behind closed doors. If even a word of it gets out, it won't be taken seriously."

"That's right, we all know it!"

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Shi quickly made assurances.

Jia Wei laughed in his heart. If they knew that every family’s repayment method was like this, he wondered if they would still be able to laugh…

For a moment, the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was harmonious, only Su looked melancholy. She thought back to what Jia Wei had said, and it seemed that he was hinting at something...

After drinking tea, Jia Wei did not stay long and took Daiyu back to the Marquis's residence. After sending her to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he went to the Hengwu Garden by himself.

When Jia Wei arrived at Baochai's room, Baochai had already gone to bed. He took off his clothes in the dark and got on the couch.

Holding that soft body.

Carrying the big white moon on his back.

Jia Wei,

Stand up.
