Lixiangyuan, front hall.

The banquet was over, and a group of women and maids were clearing away the leftovers on the table.

There are hundreds of dishes on the table, and only four people can eat in total. Among them are three women. They have small appetites, so most of the meals are just a small taste. Even if Jia Yun eats as much as an ox, he still can't eat it.

For wealthy people, these "leftovers" are of little use.

Aunt Xue sat aside and was in a good mood. In recent days, she had received some good news today. She took the tea brought by Xue Baochai, took a sip and said: "Brother Yun is really good, he has a generous temper.

, you are kind to others, and if you agree to our agreement today, there will definitely be nothing wrong with you."

Listening to Aunt Xue's praise of Jia Yun, Xue Baochai frowned. Although she couldn't bear to ruin Aunt Xue's mood, but it was related to Xue Pan, she couldn't help but remind her: "Mom, you take it for granted."

Aunt Xue was surprised and asked doubtfully: "Daughter, what do you mean? Didn't Brother Yun just agree to it? Could something else go wrong?"

Xue Baochai sighed when he heard this. Aunt Xue was in charge of the Xue family alone and raised the two brothers and sisters. If she didn't have some sense, she would have been deceived by others long ago.

It's just that once Aunt Xue gets involved in Xue Pan's affairs, her brain is not flexible enough.

"Mom, don't you think that Brother Yun agreed too readily?" Xue Baochai said in a deep voice.

Aunt Xue was stunned when she heard this. She recalled Jia Yun's attitude during the dinner and said in a daze: "I see that Brother Yun's temperament is very straightforward. There is nothing wrong with being straightforward, right?"

Xue Baochai raised his eyes and looked at Aunt Xue, and said softly: "Mom, Brother Yun seems to be a cheerful and good-natured person, but upon closer inspection, my daughter has other opinions. If nothing else, the old lady can't control this person.

How can he just be a straight-tempered person?"

Aunt Xue fell silent after hearing this. Just as Xue Baochai said, if Jia Yun is as straightforward as she thought, with a "generous temperament" and "kindness towards others", why should the old lady look forward and backward? As the saying goes, filial piety is greater than heaven, as the old lady is an elder

, even if Jia Yun is a member of the holy family, Jia's mother does not have to get used to it.

Earlier in the Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu almost lost her temper, but she held it back. Looking back now, she seemed to be restraining herself.

Seeing Aunt Xue come to her senses, Xue Baochai reminded: "Mom forgot that when Brother Yun returned home, Brother Zhen from Dongfu made trouble in front of the old lady. Although I don't know what happened? But Brother Yun afterwards

But my son passed the room."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she thought of this incident. At that time, it was an internal matter of the Jia family and the Xue family had nothing to do with it. However, the servants didn't mention it at all afterwards. Naturally, Aunt Xue and others would not ask more questions. They really didn't know the specific reason.

know.

Even though he and Mrs. Wang were sisters, they just gave a vague hint and said that Jia Yun was not easy to get along with.

If "outsiders" were to know about Jia Yun's disobedient and unfilial behavior, everyone would be ashamed, and the old lady was also afraid that Jia Yun would lose his temper without any scruples, making everyone look bad and Jia Yun would be a loser.

Those with feet have nothing to worry about, but they are different.

Xue Baochai saw Aunt Xue deep in thought, so he continued: "If Brother Yun is a good partner, how can he get married? The old lady must have done it because she was afraid of causing any trouble. From this point of view, Brother Yun

I definitely don’t have a good temper.”

After a pause, Xue Baochai said again: "Brother Yun is a military commander who stayed at the border. Mom still doesn't know what kind of temper a military commander has?"

Although the Xue family was an imperial merchant, they had a lot of dealings with military generals, the most important of whom was Wang Ziteng, the military commander of the Jingying Jiedu.

Wang Ziteng still looked forward and backward, but how could Jia Yun, a young Qianzong who had been promoted from military service, have the confidence to agree to this matter so easily?

Could it be that Jia Yun is really a brainless martial artist, young and energetic, and ignorant of what he is talking about?

Aunt Xue's face turned pale at this time. She finally had a glimmer of hope, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. How could she not be disappointed, but she still had a trace of fantasy in her heart, and whispered: "Maybe Brother Yun is such a good person.

....”

Xue Baochai felt helpless after hearing this. Aunt Xue was confused and her thoughts became so childish. In order to wake up Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai analyzed: "Mom, if Brother Yun hesitates for a long time and offers some benefits, my daughter will not

He talks a lot, but he is so forthright, and it is obvious that he is perfunctory with us.

Think about it, the crime of "disrespect" is no greater than that of others. Although we are sisters-in-law, we have never interacted with him. In addition, it is the elder brother who takes the initiative to provoke him. If others don't blame him, he is being arrogant, so how can we help him wholeheartedly?"

After a pause, Xue Baochai looked up at Aunt Xue and said thoughtfully: "Mom, don't forget how your brother deceived you in the past?"

Aunt Xue's face became more and more sad when she heard this. In the past, when Xue Pan asked for money or made mistakes, she always vowed to change her ways, but Xue Pan turned around and ignored the matter. Xue Baochai mentioned

Doesn't this mean that Jia Yun also turned a deaf ear to the promise?

"We're not asking him to help in vain. As long as your brother comes back safe and sound, we can at most give him tens of thousands of taels of silver, which will be regarded as a waste of money and disaster relief."

Xue Baochai didn't know what to say when he heard this. He looked at Aunt Xue with a wry smile. If Jia Yun could be sent away with money, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

Although the Xue family did not know what Jia Yun did in Rongqing Hall, the Xue family still knew about Jia Yunhao's gift of a thousand taels of gold. This kind of thing is not a shameful thing. You must know that this is Jia Yun's filial piety.

If you give it to Jia Zhen in the East Mansion, if you publicize it, you can gain the reputation of filial piety and brotherhood. How can the Jia Mansion hide this matter?

Thousands of taels of gold were given away at will, which shows that Jia Yun is not a greedy person, nor is he greedy for money, so how can he be lured with money.

If you want Jia Yun to help, you can only do it for the sake of relatives.

This is also the reason why Xue Baochai proposed to ask Jia Yundong, but now it seems that the effect is not practical.

After all, Aunt Xue was not really stupid. Seeing Xue Baochai's expression, she stopped talking. Thinking that her son was still in prison and she had no idea, she couldn't help but said sadly: "We can't just wait like this.

According to your uncle's wishes, I'm afraid we have to wait for a long time, and you don't know how your brother can bear such suffering."

Xue Baochai sighed when he heard this and said helplessly: "Mom, you don't have to worry. I see that Brother Yun is not an unkind person. If not, he wouldn't come here."

Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai with doubts on her face, and Xue Baochai said calmly: "My daughter has long said that Brother Yun is a soft-tempered person. If we treat him with courtesy, he will not refute our feelings."

noodle."

Facts have proved that this is the case. Jia Yun will not show mercy to anyone in Jia's house who treats Jia Yun kindly. Even if they are maids and the like, Jia Yun will treat them politely. Xue Baochai can find out these things from Yuanyang.

Come.

What kind of character a mandarin duck has, this is a well-known thing in Jia's family, and it will not be misplaced.

"Then what should we do?" Seeing that Xue Baochai seemed to have an idea, Aunt Xue asked.

Xue Baochai thought for a moment and hesitated: "I heard that Brother Yun only has a maid sent by the old lady, and he doesn't have many useful people. If not, Mom will first reward him with a well-cooked maid and give him some

Sweetness...."

When Aunt Xue heard this, her expression froze at first. She looked up at Xue Baochai and said dissatisfied: "You are talking about Xiangling, right? How much trouble did your brother cause in order to "get" Xiangling?"

Xue Baochai naturally understood what Aunt Xue meant. It was nothing more than that Xiangling was "robbed" at a high price. If she gave it up, she would be heartbroken. Even if Xue Pan came out, she might get angry and make the family uneasy.

.

But Xue Baochai couldn't think of anything to use to make friends with Jia Yun. When entering the courtyard, Xue Baochai noticed that Jia Yun's eyes stayed on Xiang Ling for a moment. Obviously, this bargaining chip was just right.

After all, Xue Baochai heard that Jia Yun was not worried, so on the second day after returning to Beijing, she and her brother went to play in the Lao Shizi Goulan House.
