Of course Jia's mother didn't know what Jia Lian was thinking. If she knew that Jia Lian could control their "destiny", she would not dare to act as an ancestor in front of Jia Lian.
So she continued to smile and said: "The second happy event is that your wife's biological sister, my aunt's family, has moved to Beijing and is now living in our house. Why don't you come up and pay homage to my aunt."
In fact, Jia Lian had already seen the beautiful figures of Baochai and Aunt Xue, but he kept talking to Jia Mu and only greeted them with his eyes.
At this time, after receiving instructions from Jia Mu, he immediately came forward and bowed deeply: "Greetings to aunt, I have met sister Baochai."
Although Baochai had been standing the whole time, Aunt Xue didn't care at all. When Jia Lian saluted, she stood up quickly and said with a smile: "No need to be so polite..."
As she said that, Aunt Xue looked Jia Lian over and said, "When I saw you last time in Nanjing, I thought you were a good kid. I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for more than a year. Look, you have already become such a majestic child." An extraordinary general, okay, really good..."
Aunt Xue praised Jia Lian without hesitation. After hearing this, Jia's mother also asked: "Oh, it turns out that my aunt has seen him, why didn't I know?"
Mrs. Wang next to her said with a smile: "When Lian'er went back to Yangzhou, I heard that he also went back to Nanjing and visited all our important old friends and relatives. Maybe it was at that time."
Jia Mu nodded: "I remembered."
So Jia Mu turned her head and said with a smile to Aunt Xue, saying that she was getting old and her memory was bad, so she asked Aunt Xue not to be offended and so on.
Jia Lian just got an opening here and walked slightly to the side. Jia Baoyu couldn't help but touch it, wandering around him, reaching out to touch the cold but dazzling armor from time to time.
Jia Lian just had a word with Yingchun and others, and when he saw Jia Baoyu's appearance, he smiled at him and said, "What, you like it? When you follow me out to the army next time, I will get you something better looking than this one, how about it?" "
Everyone else laughed when they heard this, and Jia Baoyu herself retracted her hand in embarrassment.
He could still tell that Jia Lian was making fun of him. It was true that he didn't like studying, but it didn't mean that he just liked fighting and killing! On the contrary, what he hates the most is the vulgar warriors who fight and kill. In comparison, they are not as good as those educated beetles.
At least, most of those guys who study are clean. Look at Brother Lian's dusty appearance and smell of sweat. He has wiped out the good Brother Lian!
If he were asked to do the same, he would rather die.
Others just thought Jia Lian was joking, but Mrs. Wang took it seriously.
I heard from Jia Zheng that Jia Lian was promoted very much by his brother Wang Ziteng's side. Even if Jia Lian is like this, if Baoyu is his nephew, he has no reason not to cultivate him.
If Baoyu is placed next to his uncle and becomes a general, on the one hand, he will avoid taking advantage of Jia Lian, and on the other hand, he will not be able to make achievements in the future and obtain a title himself. When the time comes, my mere fourth-grade imperial life will also have to rise by one liter.
Before she could finish thinking about these benefits, Mrs. Wang quickly threw this idea out of her mind.
Going to the battlefield will lead to death. She has already lost one of her sons. This one must not suffer any loss no matter what!
The huge benefit is nothing compared to Baoyu's life.
While Mrs. Wang was thinking about these things, suddenly the roommate from Zhou Rui's family came to her and said, "Madam, Mr. Dai Confucius is here in person and wants to ask for some ginseng to save his grandson."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately frowned and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you ask Feng Yatou to give it to him yesterday?"
Zhou Rui's family didn't know how to say goodbye.
Yesterday, Jia Dairu sent someone to ask for help, and Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng to weigh two liang and send it to her. Sister Feng just agreed, and then just collected some old dry roots and scraps and sent them to Wang Xifeng. Madam has delivered.
If he dared to tease her, Grandma Feng, it would be fine if she didn't torture him to death. She would also give him ginseng, which was a nice thought.
When Mrs. Wang saw the state of Zhou Rui's family, she knew that Wang Xifeng must have been cheating on her, and her expression was a little ugly.
When Jia's mother above saw him, she asked who was coming. Knowing that it was Jia Dairu, she hurriedly invited him in.
Jia Dairu is one of the few surviving people in Jia's mother's life. He is the younger brother of Duke Xianrong.
Although the Jia family was in bad shape, no one in the Jia family dared to bully him because of their filial piety.
After a while, Jia Dairu, who also had gray hair on his temples and was trembling, came in with a cane and respectfully greeted his mother Jia: "Greetings to my sister-in-law..."
In fact, Jia Mu was nearly ten years older than Jia Dairu. Seeing that her former brother-in-law was aging faster than her, she couldn't help but feel a little sad because she asked, "What's the matter with you? Just send a boy to talk to him." Why are you here in person at your age?"
When Jia Dairu heard this, he couldn't help bursting into tears, and choked up and said: "Because my grandnephew is really seriously ill, the doctor said that he should take 'Dushen Decoction', so I want to ask my sister-in-law to show mercy and save my grandnephew." Damn it..."
As Jia Dairu said this, he actually wanted to kneel down to Jia Mu while holding on to his crutches.
Jia Mu was shocked and hurriedly asked for help from the left and right.
Jia's mother only vaguely heard that Jia Dairu's grandson was ill, but she didn't expect it to be so serious that she asked Jia Dairu to come to seek help in person regardless of her dignity.
Although ginseng is valuable, which family like them wouldn't stock up on some before winter?
So he said: "It turns out it's for this, and it's worthy of you. Why don't you just ask the boy to come and get it."
Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Dairu couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wang next to him and sighed slightly.
Their family relied on the ginseng offered by the students in their home school, and they were usually quite wealthy, but it was obviously impossible to eat the good ginseng that often cost dozens or hundreds of taels.
Therefore, he could only come to seek help from Rongguo Mansion.
Who would have known that Mrs. Wang had promised well, but then only sent a pack of unusable items. This was obviously a deliberate attempt to humiliate him.
After all, he was the son of Duke Rong, and he wanted to save face. If it was for other things, that would be fine. But for the sake of his grandson's life, he had no choice but to be shameless and come to see Jia Mu in person. I just hope that Jia Mu can help him for the sake of his uncle and sister-in-law.
When Jia Mu saw Jia Dairu's face, she probably guessed something, so she didn't look very happy.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang had to stand up and said: "Old lady, yesterday my daughter-in-law asked Feng Yatou to pack two taels of ginseng and send it to the master. Maybe it is not enough? I will go to the warehouse to take a look later. If there are, just weigh some more for the master and come out..."
Jia Dairu sighed and said: "There is not enough. My wife asked someone to bring it, but it is just some root powder and cannot be used at all."
As soon as these words came out, everyone else, not to mention Jia Mu, looked shocked.
After all, Jia Dairu was an elder. Although ginseng was expensive, if he didn't want to give it, he could just say he didn't have it. It would be a bit outrageous to give him a pack of unusable root powder.
Mrs. Wang's face turned ugly for a moment. Could it be that Feng Yatou blamed herself for not helping her pass the message last time, so she deliberately wanted to ruin her reputation?
At this time, Wang Xifeng had already emerged from the back door.
She heard someone reported that Jia Dairu was here, and came over to take a look with a guilty conscience.
When I saw this scene, I immediately felt bad. But she still stepped forward smartly, pretending to be nonchalant and said to the dark-faced Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang: "My lord, it's my fault for this matter. Originally, I had to obey my wife's instructions. It's just a piece of information sent to Zhuangzi this year." The ginseng that came was not much, so I picked it out and prepared the medicine for the old lady. The remaining ginseng had to be prepared for my uncle and the admiral's wife. I couldn't find any good ones, so I asked them to come. I'll look for it in the old warehouse to see if there are many. If there aren't many, I'm going to go to Dongfu to ask for some from Aunt Zhen, and I'll put them together and send them to Grandpa.
But I was busy with other things, so I forgot about it later. I thought they were lazy and were afraid of trouble, so I just fooled them a few times.
It’s time for these girls and ladies to be taught a lesson, they dare not even deal with the master’s affairs..."
Although Wang Xifeng's words were clever and somewhat reasonable, they could not deceive Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang.
Especially Jia's mother, she was really angry. She knew that Wang Xifeng saw Jia Dairu's family in poverty, so she didn't take it seriously and deliberately condoned and humiliated her, so that Jia Dairu came to her door in person to beg her when he was old.
This time, she had lost her face.
Originally, the bad life of the brothers was the fault of the eldest brother and sister-in-law who inherited the family business. Once this incident spreads out today, the good reputation she has accumulated for most of her life will be damaged!
Fortunately, Jia Dairu only asked for spiritual ginseng to save his life, and had no intention of completely offending Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, so he did not refute Wang Xifeng's words. There was nothing wrong with it, it was clearly a dry packet of powder, the kind that would not even be eaten by a dog!
Otherwise, Jia Mu would not be able to come to Taiwan.
Even if it was just like this, Jia Mu remained gloomy and silent, letting Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang know her emotions.
Mrs. Wang is still good, but if someone takes the blame, Wang Xifeng will be on pins and needles. If Jia Mu doesn't let her go, she may not be able to pass this test today.
Humiliating your elders, you are still two generations older, but you have a good reputation!
I didn't dare to show my anxiety on my face, and I didn't dare to differentiate anymore. My eyes moved rapidly, looking for a solution.
Suddenly he saw Jia Lian sitting in the corner with a lot of free time, and he suddenly became angry.
Smelly man, won’t you come out and help me out at this time?
