Because Jia Mu came, Qin Keqing learned the news and went to greet her with Baozhu and Ruizhu.
This beauty had a lazy look on her brows and eyes. She put on a light red skirt and headed towards the main hall in the backyard.
As soon as I reached the screen at the back of the hall, I heard Bi'er's voice saying: "Old lady, as you said, outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission."
As he said that, he turned his attention to Baoyu and Jia She who were standing aside.
The smile on Jia Mu's face suddenly froze, and she said, "What did Brother Heng say?"
Wang Shanbao's family on the side had a cold snort flashing through his triangular eyes under his slender eyebrows, and said: "Old lady, this little girl is not too big or too small."
Jia Mu said: "Brother Heng has a lot of rules in his house, but that doesn't matter."
She said she was here for a visit this time, but in fact she knew in her heart that it was more like asking for help.
There are a bunch of bad debts in the Xi Mansion, and Jia Heng has to be entrusted to check them. With this in mind, he looked at Jia She who was aside and said, "Go to the front hall and wait."
Jia She snorted lightly and said angrily: "Then I'll wait under the eaves."
After Jia Mu finished speaking, she smiled again and said, "It's okay now."
But Bi'er shook her head slightly and turned her gaze to Baoyu aside.
Baoyu's face turned red and said, "How can I be considered a foreigner?"
Jia Mu also smiled and said: "How old is Baoyu? He is only a child."
Bi'er said: "That won't work either."
At this time, Mrs. Wang became a little unhappy and said, "You girl, why are you so unreasonable? My Baoyu is the most well-behaved person."
At this moment, a sarcastic voice was heard, "That's not necessarily the case. I heard that Mr. Bao has been living off the rouge from the maids' mouths for the past two years."
It was clearly Qingwen who came out from nowhere. The girl was wearing a green pomegranate skirt. She held her hands and turned her "sharp shoulders and water snake waist" towards Mrs. Wang. She looked a bit "like Sister Lin's eyebrows" and glanced sideways at Mrs. Wang.
, sneered.
Regardless of Qingwen's posture or her sneer, the meaning of contempt is full.
The mother-in-law and maids behind Jia's mother all have weird looks. Second Master Bao eats rouge to get around?
What is this word?
Not eating?
Maybe it was a fateful encounter. When Mrs. Wang saw this "frivolous" look, she was not angry at all. She gave birth to a nameless karma and said: "Where is the girl? There is no one who is so frivolous."
Not far away, Jia Heng looked at this scene and thought to himself: "What a fateful encounter. From the perspective of a Bodhisattva and the perspective of a concubine. Give Qingwen a lady's cigarette and blow a smoke ring to Mrs. Wang. The irony is enough."
Already."
Mrs.
Jia Mu frowned and looked at Qingwen with some dissatisfaction in her eyes.
He secretly thought, this Qingwen used to be a good person, but now she is so arrogant and arrogant after arriving in Dongfu. Baoyu is a child, if she offends her, she will come to arrange the master's family.
Baoyu looked at Qingwen, his eyes dazed for a moment.
The maid in Brother Heng's house is so beautiful.
Daiyu tugged on Baoyu's sleeves and looked at Qingwen, wondering if it was her imagination. Why did this maid's eyebrows look a bit... like her?
Sister Feng Yurong paused and was about to speak.
At this moment, a deep shout was heard: "Madam, you are so dignified. Are you trying to beat my maid?"
At this time, Wang Shanbao had already walked towards Qingwen, and was about to raise his hand, but he felt a pain in his waist and eyes, and he fell to the ground with an "ouch" sound, his old face showing a look of pain.
It was clearly Bi'er who punched Wang Shanbao in the waist.
On this side of the room, everyone looked at the young man wearing a flying fish suit and holding a sword at his waist. He came quickly, and even Wang Shanbao's family who was mourning on the ground couldn't take care of him for a moment.
Mother Jia looked at the young man quietly with a strange look in her eyes.
Tan Chun, Dai Yu, and Li Wan also all looked at each other with different contents.
At this moment, Jia Heng's face was stern, his body was erect, and his calm and majestic demeanor came to his face.
Sister Feng smoothed things over with a smile, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but she said with a smile: "Brother Heng, you look so delicate and weak, but you are quite skilled in your skills."
Mrs. Xing: "???"
Wang Shanbao's family forgot to groan in pain for a moment, and looked at Sister Feng with some surprise, and then looked at Mrs. Xing.
Madam, do you think this is still human language?
Sister Feng smiled and glanced at Wang Shanbao's family, with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
She had long been disgusted with this old woman's dead face.
But I saw the young man cupping his hands towards Jia Mu and saying, "I've seen the old lady."
If anyone pays attention to Jia Heng's title, they will hear that even though Jia Heng is Mrs. Wang, he has never paid any courtesy to Mrs. Wang.
Daiyu is such a thoughtful person, and there is a hint of indescribable meaning in her bright autumn eyes.
This Uncle Heng was like a magic weapon, with a clear distinction between love and hate. She had never seen such a person before.
To put it bluntly, he is tough, tough, and at first glance, this person cannot be humiliated!
In the history of Daiyu's growth, she has seen people who are at odds with each other, people who are flattering and fawning, people who are all-rounded, but she has never seen anyone like this.
However, if such a person cannot trample the world under his feet, he will be abandoned by the world.
"Born with hard bones, I don't want to submit to others." Daiyu murmured in her heart, her eyelashes slightly lowered.
Why isn't she like this?
It's just that... she can't be like Uncle Heng, who can create a bright world with the sword in her hand.
But I also feel that the magnanimity of this kind of person is really heartbreaking.
Thinking of this, Daiyu wanted to exchange glances with Tanchun, and looked at Tanchun. Yurong paused, then felt funny, picked up a handkerchief and covered her mouth.
But it was Tanchun who looked at the young man unwaveringly.
Daiyu gently pulled Tanchun's little hand, signaling... to calm down a little.
Tan Chunying glanced at Daiyu with her bright eyes under her eyebrows, and a blush quietly appeared on her cheeks.
In fact, Sister Lin misunderstood, she was not...
There were no smile lines on Jia Mu's face, and she said in a cold voice: "Brother Heng, Qingwen is becoming more respectable by following you."
After all, it was her daughter-in-law who was verbally insulted by a maid, and Jia Mu was also very angry.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Qingwen, took off Qingwen's two small hands from his arms, and said with a straight face: "Qingwen, don't look at anything that's not polite, don't say anything that's not polite, don't touch anything that's not polite... go back and copy it.
Three times.”
Qingwen secretly glanced at Jia Heng, responded, and then walked toward the inner room.
Daiyu blinked when she heard the words, her bright eyes moved slightly, there was something vaguely interesting, she was obviously a smart person, good at criticizing others, and making insinuations. The great Onmyoji naturally heard the hidden meaning in Jia Heng's words.
"See no evil" refers to Baoyu, "Speak no evil" refers to Qingwen, and "Don't touch no evil" refers to Wang Shanbao's family?
Jia Heng slowly looked at Jia Mu, was silent for a moment, and said: "Old lady, Baoyu is already quite old. I'm not telling you that he should study and make progress. Chongwen Hall is about to be built, so Baoyu can go there."
What does it look like to read and wallow in makeup and powder all day long?"
Baoyu: "..."
Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
This Uncle Heng is quite interesting. He clearly knows that Brother Bao doesn't like to study, but he still uses this as an excuse.
However, he is the leader of the clan, so when he says this, it is really difficult for people to find fault with him.
"Baoyu is still young..." Mentioning Baoyu, Jia Mu temporarily suppressed some of her dissatisfaction and said with a smile.
After all, he was the clan leader, so the words of appraisal were passed down, and Baoyu... Feng Ping was killed.
Jia's mother was aware of her dangers, and her heart towards the young man in brocade became more and more important.
Even Mrs. Wang suddenly came over and looked at Jia Heng with some fear.
Jia Heng ignored him and said calmly: "In that case, let him wait outside. Yan'er went to give Baoyu the "Book of Songs" in the study and asked him to read it carefully instead of just studying.
Exquisite naughtiness!”
What he said was very patriarchal, even a little bit fatherly, leaving Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang speechless.
Mrs. Wang glanced at the young man, and there was a dark flash in her eyes. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt offended by the young man's words.
Only Daiyu's bright eyes blinked, she licked her pink lips, and murmured in her heart, "Three hundred poems, in one sentence, thinking innocently."
These words are a wake-up call for Brother Bao.
If he had fought against the clan before and saw its stubbornness, then this astuteness would be a bit cunning.
Daiyu looked at the young man with a cold face and an effortless attitude, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
When you are young, you cannot meet someone who is too amazing.
Jia Heng felt Daiyu's gaze directed at him, and nodded to Daiyu, and then nodded to Tanchun.
He asked Baoyu to recite the Book of Songs, not only because his thoughts were innocent, but also because... he wanted to pay homage to the original work.
Of course, these are not important.
"Old lady, please."
Jia Heng put away his thoughts and extended his hand to invite.
For a moment, everyone turned around and headed towards the flower hall.
However, Baoyu stood there stupidly, with a dull expression on his round face under the purple gold crown of his hair, looking at the "Book of Songs" handed over by the maid in front of him, and the scene where everyone walked away,
I just feel so sour in my heart, and I feel like I have been abandoned by everything in the world.
With his cheeks turning green and red, he suddenly grabbed the psychic gem around his neck and threw it to the ground.
"What kind of psychic gem? I don't want this useless thing!"
Jia Mu's legs just crossed the threshold and her face changed drastically. She stepped forward and grabbed one of Baoyu's arms and cried: "Baoyu, why bother throwing away that lifeline! That is your lifeline!"
Mrs. Wang also stepped forward, took Baoyu's other arm, and said plaintively: "My son..."
Everyone was in a hurry, and they all stepped forward to coax Baoyu. Sisters and sisters gathered around for a while, and even Daiyu tried to persuade Baoyu.
The attacker trotted to pick up the psychic jade. While wiping the psychic jade with his handkerchief, he said, "My second master, how could this jade be thrown around!"
Jia Heng frowned, turned to look at Baoyu, who had returned to the center of the spotlight, and said in a deep voice: "Go and invite Mr. Zheng."
Everyone: "..."
Baoyu seemed to have been stopped from casting spells. He blinked, and the foolishness and madness on his face completely disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Tan Chun Yingmei's big eyes also blinked, and she couldn't help laughing, but Dai Yu tugged her sleeve.
Tanchun raised his eyes and saw Mrs. Wang's frost-covered face. The smile on her face quickly faded and she lowered her head slightly.
Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but she just tried to smooth things over and said, "Brother Heng, why is it so easy to invite Mr. Zheng?"
Jia Heng looked at the maid who went to pick up the jade, and said calmly: "Xiren, bring that jade, let me take a look."
Xiren was stunned for a moment, but did not respond. He turned to look at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were a little confused about Jia Heng's approach.
Jia Heng said lightly: "How can jade be so strong and not break even after being dropped a few times? I would like to try it."
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Li Wan: "..."
When Xiren heard this, his jade face changed slightly, and he quickly put away the jade, fearing that the young man opposite would snatch it away and throw the jade angrily.
Jia Heng extended his hand to invite you and said, "Old lady, please."
Jia Mu sighed, looking at that still calm face, she felt helpless in her heart.
This Brother Heng has a serious look, a cold face and a hard heart. How come his heart is not warm?
It's in vain that yesterday she accepted the wind and washed away the dust, but now she is poking her treasure with words.
Mrs. Wang also looked unkind and looked at Jia Heng coldly.
As for Mrs. Xing, she also looked at the young man beside her with a gloomy expression.
But at this moment, suddenly, a woman trotted over from outside, out of breath, and said: "Uncle Heng, the angel from the palace has come to deliver the order."
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were both stunned and looked at each other: "Preaching an order, what order is being conveyed?"
"Old lady, please wait for a moment. Heng will go to receive the order and will come back in a while." Jia Heng glanced at Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and then walked to the front yard.
When Jia Heng walked away, the woman took a deep breath and said, "I heard from the eunuch that she was knighting the uncle..."
"What... knighthood?" Jia Mu said in surprise, her heart agitated.
Mrs. Wang's face changed suddenly, and she had a "bad" premonition in her heart.
Tan Chun whispered: "Could it be that the bandits were successfully suppressed yesterday and returned to the capital, and the Holy One rewarded them with a title?"
"Go and see what the imperial edict says..." Jia Mu's heart skipped a beat and she ordered the Lin Zhixiao family who were serving behind her.
Nobleship, is it possible that her Jia family, a double nobility family, is coming back?
Daiyu also raised her bright eyes and looked at the front yard.
Not long after, Lin Zhixiao's trot came back with a smile on his face and said: "Old lady, madam, the imperial edict said that Uncle Heng has successfully suppressed the bandits, and has made Uncle Heng a third-class Yunhui general."
When Jia Mu heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she suspected that she had heard wrongly because she was old, so she said anxiously: "How many generals have you been granted the title of?"
"Third-class General Yunhui!"
Mother Jia's cheeks trembled slightly, then she shouted the title of Buddha and said with a smile: "Okay, the title is back."
Mrs. Wang's face was dark and unclear, and she said: "Why does this title sound the same as last time? Could it be a raid..."
Tan Chun pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Madam, the imperial edict says that you were granted the title for meritorious service. There is a difference between wanting to come and attacking."
Before Mrs. Wang could say anything, Jia Mu also smiled and said, "Baoyu mother, you don't know something. How can you issue an edict if you attack a noble?"
Ning Guo's branch has earned the title again, and even after a hundred years, she will have the honor to meet the two princes.
Li Wan Suya also had a slight smile on her face and said: "If you don't be grateful to your ancestors, you will get your own fame and fame. I think this is a good story about Brother Cheng Quanheng, the sage."
Tan Chun's beautiful eyes sparkled and she said in a clear voice: "That should be the reason."
Daiyu played with a strand of hair hanging down her front with two fingers, glanced at Tanchun sideways, smiled softly, and said, "I guess one day I will be included in the history books."
Tanchun pursed her pink lips and rolled her eyes at Daiyu angrily.
It turned out that after Tanchun returned home yesterday, he was in a difficult mood and wrote the fake history book in front of the desk in the boudoir. However, Daiyu saw it and made fun of it for a while.
Sister Feng said with a smile on her face: "Old ancestor, you no longer have to worry about being unable to sleep at night."
Jia Mu smiled, stretched out her hand and nodded to Sister Feng, and said, "We have to go to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors later. This is a great event to celebrate our ancestors!"
Qin Keqing, who was behind the beaded curtain in the inner room, also had a look of joy on her beautiful jade face.
Baoyu stood in the corner, with his back to him, and all his eyes turned to the front yard. The sadness of being abandoned by everything in the world came to his heart again. His eyes were wandering, and he subconsciously wanted to scratch his neck, but he failed.
Empty.
Looking up, he saw that the attacker was holding a psychic jade wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand, and he was also looking at the moon gate in the front yard with his feet on his feet.
In the front yard, Jia Heng received the imperial edict, thanked him for his grace, and turned his attention to Dai Quan.
"Jia Ziyu, the Za family won't be around much anymore. We have to go to the palace to report to His Majesty." Dai Quan smiled at Jia Heng and cupped his hands in the direction of the Daming Palace.
Jia Heng said: "Then I will send it to my father-in-law."
He sent Dai Quan and the eunuch to the gate, and while saying goodbye at the gate, he stuffed another thousand taels of silver notes into Dai Quan's hand, and then turned around and returned.
As they walked to the courtyard, they heard Qu Lang leading several guards in royal robes from the side courtyard. They were all smiling and congratulating each other, saying: "Congratulations, sir, on being awarded the title of knight."
Jia Heng felt a little happy, but with a calm face, he said, "It's all the Emperor's grace."
