"Please greet my aunt!"

The two brothers from the Shi family smiled and bowed.

Although Jia's mother didn't want to see her, she was still from her mother's family, so she could only call out: "You are old and unfaithful, what are you doing here?"

Baoling Hou Shi Nai said with a smile: "First, I came to visit my aunt. Second, I heard that a handsome man came out of the Jia family, so I came over to have a look."

Jia Mu sneered and said: "Let's just visit now. Brother Qiang is right there. You've seen it too. If you have nothing to do, go home early. The house has been in a mess these past two days. I'll look for you again in a while." say."

"this……"

Shi Nai laughed dryly, looked at Shi Ding and said, "I still have something I want to ask my aunt for."

Jia Mu sneered and said: "I knew you would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. But the ugly thing is ahead. Now I am just a useless old woman who is just waiting to die. I have nothing to do to help you. If it's an internal matter, you can just ask. Maybe I can give you some advice. If it's an external matter, I advise you to stop talking about it as soon as possible. There are many."

Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, couldn't help but said: "My aunt's surname is Shi. Nowadays, the Shi family is having a hard time. If you come to ask for help, you always have to give me a hand! How can you say such heartless words?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia's mother trembled with anger and was speechless for a moment. Jia Qiang looked on with cold eyes. Seeing Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang actually didn't mean to speak. She wondered, are all the Jia family stupid?

Thinking of the meaning of Jia Mu's words just now, he thought for a moment and stepped forward and said: "Old lady, you are so old. You nephews from your mother's family don't tell me to come and see more. You are so filial and filial. You haven't come here for half a year, and now you are here." , you have the nerve to open your mouth to pull? Old Baolinghou was a hero in those days, but he gave birth to two grandsons who pointed at the married aunt and tried to pull her? "

Shi Nai and Shi Ding's faces turned red when they heard this. Shi Nai said angrily: "Is this the rule of the Jia family? When the elders speak, do you have room to interrupt?"

Jia Zheng finally came to his senses and began to help: "Mingcheng, Brother Qiang is not only the Xijue of Dongfu, but also the patriarch of my Jia family. Except for close relatives, when talking to outsiders, there is no regard for seniority."

Shi Nai was so angry that he laughed and said, "Am I an outsider?"

Jia Qiang said nahan: "Historians have rebelled against the heroes of Yuanping since the time of Xian Rongguo. Who gives you the face to pretend to be one of your own? If you show respect and talk to the old lady, we can also give you You are so mean. You don’t even know how to speak human words, and you still want us to treat you as our honored guests?”

Jia Zheng tried to persuade him in the middle, "That's all. They are our relatives after all. For the sake of the old lady, let's just put down our hands."

He still knew what his mother was thinking. If he didn't care about Shi Jia, he wouldn't have picked up Yun Yatou every now and then.

Mrs. Zhu of the Marquis of Baoling and Mrs. Zhao of the Marquis of Zhongjing also took the opportunity to say good things and apologized to Jia Mu again and again. Jia Mu relented and finally said, "If you have anything to do, please sit down and talk."

Jia Qiang was not interested in hearing them turn their hostility into friendship, and was about to leave, but Jia Mu said: "Brother Qiang, walk slowly, I'm thinking that their affairs will probably involve you, and I'm too lazy to be a lobbyist, so I'll let them speak on their own." Say it."

Shi Nai said hurriedly: "There is no need to bother Marquis Ning. All I need is the old lady and my wife to say hello to Minister Lin and the Wang family and the Wang family."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang and said curiously: "Say hello to Ruhai, I probably guessed what happened. Could you please say hello to me? What are you saying hello to?"

Shi Nai sighed and said: "Now the imperial court ignores our difficult livelihood and blindly collects the deficit. Our family and the two princes' mansions are looking bright, but the old lady is not an outsider. When she knew that the ancestors named Yuanping heroes, she did not Not much money was rewarded. Zhongjinghou Mansion was simply separated from Baolinghou Mansion. If not, Baolinghou Mansion would not have been so difficult because of the foundation of Baolinghou Mansion. Now one family business can support two marquises. Where can I afford the government? I borrowed a lot of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now I have to pay it back. The third child and I discussed that we might as well go out and find a job and find an official to do it. It can also repay the shortfall, and secondly, it can also supplement the family income..."

When Jia Mu heard this, her face softened and she said, "Isn't it great to have such thoughts?"

Shi Nai smiled bitterly and said: "There are no suitable officials anywhere. I happened to hear that Mr. Wang has taken the position of Admiral General of Fengtai Camp. I think he needs more people under his command. Otherwise, how can he stabilize Fengtai Camp's 40,000 soldiers?" My two brothers volunteered to go. Unexpectedly, Wang Butang said that if he wanted to join the camp, he had to repay the household deficit first, otherwise he had nothing to do. So we could only come and ask my old aunt to help my brothers. Please show mercy."

Hearing this, Jia Mu waved her hands and said: "Ruhai has made it clear to me a long time ago, and there is no room for change in this matter. Don't believe it, I will only tell you one thing, and you will understand." The Ministry of Finance borrowed 5,000 taels of silver and had no choice but to pay it back. Ruhai didn't show any mercy... You and Ruhai are a little close, maybe better than your eldest cousin and him. Dear? Even your eldest cousin is like this, let alone you?"

The male and female members of the Shi family were dumbfounded when they heard this, and the two Madam Hou even burst into tears:

"How are you going to live like this?"

"I don't even have any hope anymore!"

When Jia's mother heard this, she was really angry. There were a room full of Jia family's descendants, how could these natal family earn face for her like this?

And Jia Qiang also gained a new understanding of Xun Chen's corruption...

When the Shi brothers asked the Jia family to borrow money, Jia's mother could no longer hold back and began to drive them away.

After the Shi brothers left with their wives full of resentment, Jia's mother looked extremely ugly, feeling that her old face had been completely disgraced.

Although Mrs. Wang knew in her heart that Jia Mu would have someone send some money to the historian's house later, she just pretended that she didn't know and advised: "Why should the old lady be angry? Nowadays, except for one or two families like ours, most of them are just like this." It’s just an empty frame. If you take in less, you will come out more, and you will spend a lot of time on the entertainment that comes and goes every year. So, no one needs to laugh at anyone."

After hearing this, Jia Mu's face relaxed a little and said, "How about you talk to your father-in-law about it?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "I'll send someone to talk about it."

But Jia Qiang said: "There is no need to waste this effort. If it can be done, Wang Butang will not need them to come here. The twelve battalions must all pay off their losses. This is the will of the palace. Who dares to violate it?" "

Jia Mu asked curiously: "The emperor still cares about this matter?" This way of asking for money is not decent, and it is even suspected of selling one's official position.

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Of course the emperor doesn't care about this matter. I proposed it. If the emperor has no objection, it will be considered as agreed. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get this account, and it will be difficult for my husband to handle the emperor's mission. "

"..."

After Jia Mu was speechless for a long time, she said calmly to Jia Qiang: "Are you ready for tomorrow?"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you preparing for?"

Hearing this, Mother Jia felt a surge of annoyance. She felt a little dizzy, but she still insisted: "You are going to pay your birthday to the Queen's mother. You have to have snacks as a birthday gift, right?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Well, I still have some high-quality silk brought from Yangzhou. Can I choose three pieces to send to you?"

"Three horses?! Why don't you ask the Queen if three horses are okay?!"

Mother Jia couldn't suppress her anger and said, "It's just a birthday gift for an ordinary person's imperial edict. Can you just send it away with just three pieces of silk?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Then I understand. I will send someone to Wanbao Tower to buy some treasures later."

Jia Mu asked curiously: "There are still some treasures in the Dongfu warehouse?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "That's Dafang's property, I won't touch it."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other and vaguely understood something.

First, Jia Qiang had promised that most of the Dongfu family property would be left to Jia Rong.

Now that Jia Rong is not dead, he should not move, otherwise it will be a breach of trust.

Secondly, he wants to marry the queen's niece as his eldest wife and mother-in-law. According to Jia Qiang's opinion, does this family property belong to the daughter of the Yin family?

What will Daiyu do in the future?

Of course they didn't know that the wealth piled up in the Dongfu warehouse was worth a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand taels of silver.

But the foundation Jia Qiang laid in Yangzhou was a golden rooster that laid golden eggs.

But naturally he would not tell Jia Mu and others.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang only thought that Jia Qiang actually still wanted to cling to the queen, her face looked weird, and she was even more fearful in her heart.

This kid pounced when he saw the benefits. He had acted so realistically in front of Lin Ruhai and his daughter, but now in order to seduce the queen, he even had to hand over his family property.

Whatever it takes!

Jia Mu's expression suddenly became cold, and she no longer kept Jia Qiang, waving her hand for him to go back.

…

Rongxi Hall, three small main halls under the east corridor.

Aunt Xue was sitting on the kang, eating melon seeds on the kang table. She looked at Mrs. Wang opposite, who looked not very good, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in the past two or three days. What is the house busy with? It sounds like it's a mess."

Mrs. Wang said calmly: "But it's still those things. You don't know that there are many things going on here..." After a pause, she asked again: "How is Pan'er?"

Aunt Xue shook her head angrily and said: "It's still the same, but it looks better. I just don't know why your brother Qiang gave me the ecstasy soup, and I think he is the most good person in the world! Even my dear Mom, I can’t even compare to you.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and asked, "Brother Qiang is really good. Tell me, among our children, which one can be as good as others?"

Aunt Xue was startled when she heard this, then she quickly smiled and said: "Pan'er's evil deeds are certainly not as good as those of Pan'er. Could it be that Baoyu can't be as good? I think Baoyu is better than anyone else!"

Mrs. Wang smiled faintly and sighed: "What good can be done? Today the old lady said again that Baoyu cannot get married early. No matter what, we have to wait another three to five years. Tell me, after three to five years , how old am I?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, her heart suddenly became cold. If she had to endure it for another three to five years, three years would be fine, but if she had to endure it for another five years, wouldn't that little girl become an old girl?

That won't work!

Then I heard Mrs. Wang lower her voice and say in a mysterious tone: "I want to tell you something, but you must not tell it."

Aunt Xue suppressed her anxiety when she heard this and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Wang smiled softly and said: "Do you remember that when Brother Qiang ascended the throne, the old lady asked him to serve as the chief minister of the East Palace?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Mrs. Wang in shock, her voice a little unnatural, and said: "Remember...remember, what's the matter? You're so good, why are you talking about this?"

Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "I don't know if you believe it or not, but the Empress of the Middle Palace actually fell in love with Brother Qiang. She wrote a letter to her home through the noble concubine in the palace, saying that she would marry her niece. Brother Qiang, be my wife!"

Split!!

These words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Aunt Xue's almost stagnant heart.

It's all burnt black!

…
