Inside the Yimen behind the south hall of Jia Mansion is the main courtyard of Jia Mansion.

It's called Rongxi Hall.

There are five main rooms on the top, and the wing rooms on both sides have deer-topped roofs and side rooms on the mountain.

It extends in all directions and is magnificent.

Although Jia Zheng and his wife controlled the Jia Mansion, they were not in the main room where they usually sat and had banquets.

Instead, it is in the three wing rooms on the east side.

At this time, the two of them were resting in the east room.

On the big Kang by the window.

The two of them were covered with a scarlet ocean blanket.

Under the head is a big red money python pillow.

Beneath the body is a large Qiu Xiang color money snake mattress.

A pair of high ones on the ground.

On the left is the King Wen's Cauldron. Several handfuls of incense are stored in the cauldron and covered with a cover.

From time to time, a few wisps of green smoke flow out from the gap, and the smell is pleasant and soothing.

On the table on the right is a Ru kiln beauty goblet with fresh flowers in it.

I had just changed it before going to bed, and it was now blooming, exuding the slightest fragrance.

After all, Mrs. Wang is the principal wife, and Jia Zheng mostly rests here on weekdays.

But if there was a dispute, he would go to Aunt Zhao or Aunt Zhou to hide for a while.

Today is a little different.

He chased Baoyu like crazy, but he couldn't succeed because his mother was in a depressed mood.

According to the past, he might have avoided it.

In order to prevent Mrs. Wang from talking to him about Baoyu again.

But today, Jia Zheng returned to Mrs. Wang.

The old couple didn't have so much pretentiousness. They washed up early and got ready to go to bed.

Jia Zheng seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated several times.

It wasn't until the maids went to wait outside that he asked.

"What did Yibo say today that made my mother so depressed all the time?"

"Master, did you listen to someone?"

Mrs. Wang lay flat on her back without even opening her eyes.

But Jia Zheng couldn't lie down any longer.

He turned sideways and supported his head with his arms, looking at Mrs. Wang through the dim light.

"Yibo said it himself. When I asked him, he told me to ask you."

When she heard that it was Feng Yibo who asked her, Mrs. Wang suddenly opened her eyes.

A sharp flash in his eyes startled Jia Zheng.

Seeing that Jia Zheng was still looking at her, Mrs. Wang's eyes calmed down and she said:

"Oh, it's nothing. I just said that the old lady asked Baoyu and Daiyu to live in the same house, which was inappropriate."

Jia Zheng was a little unable to grasp Mrs. Wang's thoughts and said cautiously:

"I have also said that this matter is indeed over the line, but my mother..."

Mrs. Wang interrupted directly: "The matter has been resolved. Daiyu and her sisters have gone to live in the wing room."

"oh……"

Perhaps feeling a little cold, Jia Zheng shrank back.

But he still turned sideways and said with some confusion: "By the way, how did Yibo know what happened in the inner house?"

Mrs. Wang had already closed her eyes and replied casually: "He has an excellent relationship with Daiyu, so I know it."

"oh?"

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Yes, they went to Beijing together all the way. When Yibo and Yucun were discussing knowledge, Daiyu should also be there."

After saying that, he shrank back and completely lay flat.

But just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard Mrs. Wang say again: "Master, do you think it would be more suitable for Daiyu and Yibo?"

Mrs. Wang had no idea at first, but now she suddenly had one in her mind.

Since you pushed me, Feng Yibo, why don’t I push you too?

You must also thank me!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and sat up.

"..."

Jia Zheng was silent at first, and then said cautiously after a moment: "I know you don't like Daiyu, but..."

Mrs. Wang interrupted him again and said: "Master, I like Daiyu very much."

After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "But she and Baoyu..."

It was about Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang had already lost her sleep.

She didn't finish her words, but it was obvious that she didn't support the two jade being together.

Thinking of the idea just now, Mrs. Wang felt more and more reliable.

"Sir, this Feng Yibo is extremely talented. I believe he will be a Jinshi in the near future."

She looked at Jia Zheng with twinkling eyes and her tone became more and more certain.

"He is also a disciple of the father-in-law. He knows everything about him. If Daiyu follows him, it won't be considered an insult."

Although Mrs. Wang has already controlled the Jia family.

But when it comes to Jia Mu, she has always been tolerant.

But Feng Yibo's words today reminded her.

Although Jia Mu uses small tricks.

But if it really happened, wouldn't she not even be able to decide Baoyu's marriage?

If it's good, forget it.

What's the difference between Daiyu's timid appearance and her mother's?

If the child was born like that, wouldn't the gem be ruined?

There was another point that made Mrs. Wang want to fight back.

That is Baoyu's usual name.

Not called mom, not called mother, not called mother.

Instead, call her wife!

You can see his alienation!

Jia Zheng felt that what Mrs. Wang said made sense, but he immediately shook his head after thinking about it.

"This matter is not my uncle's turn yet. It would be okay if my mother makes the decision."

Mrs. Wang immediately found the loophole and her eyes lit up.

"Marriage matters are ordered by your parents. You might as well write to your sister-in-law."

Since Shi Taijun stole her heart, why couldn't Mrs. Wang dig her roots?

As long as Daiyu's marriage is settled, the old lady will be a clever woman.

By then, won’t Baoyu’s marriage be decided by him?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang added: "If we agree, and he happens to be in Jiangnan, we might as well settle the matter with the Feng family."

"..."

Jia Zheng fell silent again.

After thinking about it for a moment, I didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Then I'll write a letter and tell the truth. I'll let my brother-in-law figure it out for himself."

It's almost done at this point, just push it a little more in the future.

After Mrs. Wang made the plan, she became a little excited.

She was completely sleepless at this time. She took Jia Zheng's arm and said:

"My sister should arrive in the next few days. Her Baochai is very good. She is two years older than Baoyu, so she can take better care of him."

Jia Zheng's eyes had been closed. Hearing this, he just said, "We'll take a look when my concubine comes."

Mrs. Wang immediately said: "It's good that the master remembers this."

Seemingly finding this matter a bit tricky, Jia Zheng opened his eyes and added: "I don't want to push too hard on Baoyu's matter."

"hehe."

Mrs. Wang just sneered.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng stood up, took Mrs. Wang's hand, and said, "You know my mother used to love me so much. Now it's not a bad thing to put this affection on Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang was persuaded, but she spoke with a hint of grievance.

She turned away and said, "I know it's not a bad thing, otherwise I would have turned against you long ago, but I need to know that Baoyu is our only son after all!"

"well!"

Jia Zheng was helpless and muttered angrily:

"Lan'er is also our only grandson, why don't you take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng like a fool and asked:

"Do you want me to keep Lan'er by my side like the old lady?"

"Of course not." Jia Zheng was immediately frightened and shook his head: "If that's the case, how can the eldest daughter-in-law live?"

Mrs. Wang felt even more aggrieved after hearing this.

"Yes! Everyone knows that orphans and widowers depend on each other for life, so why should I be an evil mother-in-law in vain?"

"..."

When it came to the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Jia Zheng did not dare to say any more.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly added: "Actually, Yibo is a really good kid. You said Tanchun..."

Mrs. Wang had already made up her mind and immediately became impatient after hearing this.

"I'm afraid that people will look down on concubines."

Jia Zheng couldn't help but retort: ​​"They are all raised by the old lady, which is no worse than the legitimate daughter."

"This is just a lie to the villagers in the mountains. Feng Yibo is also from Jinling's hometown. Although he has not been married for generations, he is still used to seeing nobles."

Mrs. Wang glanced at him sideways and said:

"If you become a Jinshi, you can take advantage of the Lin family's family status to further your studies, but what's the point of being a concubine? You still need some dowry to be a concubine."

"You are her aunt!" Jia Zheng became angry with embarrassment.

However, Mrs. Wang did not tolerate him and replied directly: "I am also Daiyu's aunt and the palace judge's mother-in-law. Compared with my aunt, neither of them is far or close."

"you're right."

Jia Zheng lay down angrily, covered himself with quilt and stopped talking.

It doesn't involve Baoyu, nor does it involve Jialan.

Mrs. Wang wouldn’t do too well.

But it was hard for her to say anything more at this time.

Silence fell in the room.

After a long time, there was the sound of long breathing.
