Chapter 250 You's Hope, Jia Qiang and Lingguan's Love(1/2)
Sister Feng’s courtyard.
After drinking and eating, Jia Yun thought about sending Xue Baochai back to her parents' home.
So I didn’t stay too long and said goodbye early and left.
Ping'er escorted Jia Yun out of the house on behalf of Jia Lian. When she reached the door, she said:
"Grandma asked me to take the message. Mr. Lian had been beating around the bush this morning, complaining vaguely that grandma couldn't give birth to a son."
Jia Yun nodded and said: "It seems that she had a good premonition before, and Uncle Lian really has other plans."
"You go back and tell Aunt Feng not to worry. It is Uncle Lian who should be anxious. No matter how stupid he is, he will wait until the imperial concubine's wedding ceremony next year before he shows his cards."
Ping'er hummed, took a deep look at Jia Yun, and whispered: "I want to go to your house. I think about it every day. I finally have something to look forward to."
"Haha, you..." Jia Yun smiled, waved her hand, turned and left, and said: "Go back early, don't blow the wind here..."
Ping'er exclaimed and watched Jia Yun go away. He didn't return to Jia's house until he passed the corner and saw no one else.
Return home.
Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin have already packed up.
Jia Yun sat and drank a few cups of hot tea, then took the two of them to Xue Mansion with her bodyguards.
Xue Pan and the others received the letter early and opened the door to welcome Jia Yun and the others.
Knowing that Jia Yun would not live here, Mrs. Xue Wang felt a little disappointed. She hugged Jia Yun's hand and sighed.
But he also knew that he wanted to act as a front for the woman, so he didn't force it.
However, Mrs. Xue Wang still forced Jia Yun to stay and asked him to have dinner in the evening before leaving.
Jia Yun originally wanted to go back to accompany Lin Daiyu and the others, but Mrs. Xue Wang opened her mouth and held his hand and wouldn't let go. Jia Yun had no choice but to agree.
At dinner time in the evening, Jia Yun, Xue Pan, and Xue Biao were at the same table.
During this period, Xue Biao asked Jia Yun to help him find an errand next year, saying that he had nothing to do all day long and was too idle.
After Xue Baoqin followed Jia Yun, she went back to Xue Mansion to confess to Xue Biao.
Not only was Xue Tao not angry, but he felt very happy.
Thinking of the Mei family's indifferent attitude towards them, and then looking at the way Jia Yun dotes on Xue Baoqin.
Comparing the two parties, Xue Baoqin seems to be better off as a concubine with Jia Yun than marrying into the Mei family.
Of course, this is just because he has no choice but to think for the best.
Xue Baoqin is already Jia Yun's man. The deal is already done. Can he, the elder brother, stop him?
Regarding Xue Biao's request, Jia Yun agreed that it would depend on the situation and wait until next year to make a decision.
Seeing that Jia Yun did not refuse, Xue Biao stopped dwelling on the matter.
It gets dark early in winter.
After Jia Yun finished her meal and left Xue's house, it was already dark.
Agreeing to accompany You, Jia Yun ordered Jia Wenlin to take her bodyguard home while he himself went directly to Ningguo Mansion.
At night, Jia Yun spent most of the night holding Youshi, who was soft and fragrant as jade, and the details were so wonderful...
The seventh day of the winter lunar month.
According to the rules, the woman must prepare a banquet one day in advance.
Jia Yun packed up early in the morning and headed to Jia Ling's house with her daughter Juan.
He came early, but there were others earlier than him.
The clan leader and clan elders came over before dawn.
No matter how you say it, the Xue family is one of the four major families in Jinling. Now that Xue Pan has an official position, the Xue family's social status is even more different.
For a commoner woman, Jia Ling was able to marry Xue Pan, which was considered a high achievement.
With the arrival of Jia Yun, Jia Ling's house became even more lively.
Jia Ling's family was poor, with few rooms and a narrow terrain.
So the tribesmen helped build a straw shed in advance on an open space not far from her home.
All the visitors, the women Juan, went to Jia Ling's house, while the men all went to the thatched shed and had someone to receive them.
Lin Daiyu did not come this time and stayed at home.
After all, she hasn't married Jia Yun yet, so it's not appropriate to come to such an occasion.
In the thatched hut, Jia Yun was surrounded by her clansmen, and they kept on exchanging greetings all the way there.
Many people are sighing, saying that the girl Jia Ling has a good life. Because of Jia Yun, she can marry into the Xue family and enjoy happiness.
The weather is beautiful today, the weather has been clear and the snow has been snowing for a long time, and the warm sunshine is shining down, which is a good sign.
Jia Yun went to meet Jia Dailing and others, sat and drank tea and chatted.
As time went by, the patriarchs and elders from other houses came over one after another, including Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Rong.
Crowded.
At three o'clock in the morning, Jia Ling's father, sweating profusely, came to Jia Dailing, saying that he had not expected so many guests to come today and that the table at home was not enough.
When Jia Dailing heard this, he knew what was going on.
To put it bluntly, the reason why so many guests came today was mostly because of Jia Yun's sake.
Especially the people in other rooms, if it weren't for Jia Yun, they wouldn't be able to come so neatly.
Jia Dailing pinched his beard and said: "Don't panic when anything happens. If there is not enough room, just arrange for people to buy things quickly. What do you mean by shouting in a hurry?"
"Hey, ancestors, it's embarrassing to say that the money at home is not enough." Jia Ling's father said awkwardly.
Although the Xue family sent a lot of money as betrothal gifts, he gave them to Jia Ling intact and asked her to take them to the Xue family.
He had raised and borrowed all the expenses for the banquet in the past. He thought that there would be many guests when Jia Ling got married, but he did not expect that there would be so many guests.
When Jia Dailing heard this, he turned his head and looked at Jia Yun. Everything else was easy to handle, but he couldn't do anything about the money.
Jia Yun didn't bring any silver with her, but there were large ingots of silver in the space, but it was inconvenient to take them out.
So he quickly told Jia Ming: "Brother Ming, go home and get two hundred taels of silver for emergency use."
Jia Ming got the order and ran away.
Jia Dailing smiled and said: "I have been following you for a few years, but I have become more and more successful."
"Haha, it has nothing to do with me. The main reason is that Aunt Miao is very strict. Whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, if Brother Ming slacks off a little, Aunt Miao will hit him hard. He dare not not work hard," Jia Yun replied with a smile.
Jia Dailing shook his head and said, "That's just a small aspect. In the end, you have to follow the right person."
While they were talking, Jia Yun saw Jia Baoyu and a man playing in the corner from a distance.
After thinking for a moment, he guessed that the man must be the official Qiguan whom Prince Zhongshun served before his arrival, that is, Jiang Yuhan.
Speaking of which, Jiang Yuhan is not a simple person. Although he is an actor, he has waded too deep into muddy waters.
This man was the male favorite of King Zhongshun, but he was secretly having an affair with King Beijing.
As an actor, daring to flirt between two princes is an act of seeking death.
But Jiang Yuhan not only dared to play, but also played with flying colors, and now she wants to drag Jia Baoyu into the quagmire.
Everyone knows that Jia Baoyu is the phoenix of Rongguo Mansion.
Dragging Jia Baoyu into the water means dragging the Rongguo Mansion into the water.
Therefore, Jiang Yuhan and Jia Baoyu's acquaintance and friendship had impure motives.
At this time, Jia Yun heard Jia Rong say that not long ago, Feng Ziying invited Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong, and Jiang Yuhan to attend the family dinner, and Yun'er, a fun-loving girl, accompanied the guests.
"During the banquet, I saw that Uncle Bao and Qi Guan had not come back from the latrine for a long time, so I went to call them. I accidentally saw them secretly exchanging sweat towels." Jia Rong said with a bad smile.
Jia Lian laughed and said: "I really didn't realize it. Baoyu is a little big, so he is quite good at playing!"
Jia Rong clicked her tongue twice and said: "I heard from Qi Guan that the red sweat scarf he gave to Second Uncle Bao was given to him by King Beijing. It was a tribute from the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom. Wearing it in summer will cause skin irritation."
It's fragrant, doesn't cause sweat stains, and is really a good thing."
The very act of giving each other sweat towels means that the two men are playing ambiguously.
Jia Yun listened and remained silent.
Jia Lian and Jia Rong, two idiots, and Jia Baoyu and Qiguan exchanged sweat towels. They didn't find anything strange, they just thought it was fun, laughed, and got over it.
Little did they know that it was through Qi Guan that King Zhongshun began to display his chariots and horses against the Jia family.
Are there any grudges between King Zhongshun and the Jia family?
There should be none.
But why does he want to deal with Jia's family?
Because King Zhongshun is also a member of the noble family!
