Chapter 49: The Forty-Ninth Day of Being Transformed into Lady Jia
Chapter 49 The 49th day after being reborn as Lady Jia (bug hunting)
Jia She saw that his son's family was in despair, so he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't want to face the resentful eyes of several people, so he hid away. How could he know that when he sent the letter to his son about Xiang back, the Duke of Anguo would not give him any face at all and just handle the matter impartially.
So, he didn't dare to go to the old lady's yard.
But soon, the old lady knew about it.
She didn't feel that surprised. After all, in modern times, we only hear about joining the army, but we haven't heard of retiring before the time is up. Unless there are special circumstances, Jia Lian's resume is a stain.
But the old lady is worried about one thing, that is the opening of "The Best in the World".
So, she called Jia Lian over, but she saw Wang Xifeng following him. As soon as Wang Xifeng saw her, she begged, "Grandma, please think of a way. Last time when I went out, my elder sister almost didn't recognize me when I came back. Who knows when he will come back this time?"
"You should ask his father." The old lady couldn't help him. Since things had come to this point, she could only push the responsibility onto Jia She.
Sure enough, when Jia She was mentioned, both of them looked unhappy.
Seeing that Jia Lian was really wronged and miserable, the old lady thought for a while and said, "Since the military order of Anguogong has been issued, you should clean up. If it is really too hard, you can talk to Anguogong and get a civilian job, copying in the military camp."
After hearing this, Jia Lian's eyes lit up.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the old lady asked him, "Will your departure affect the restaurant?"
"It won't affect anything. Now everything is on the right track. It's just that when I was here, it was just right to have Jia Qiang to help. Now that I'm gone, Qiang'er is busy with the opera troupe, so I have to find someone else." Jia Lian paused, "Grandfather, Baoyu..."
"Don't even think about him. It's already a great thing that he is willing to follow you to see the world. If he really gets involved, his mother might settle accounts with you." The old lady waved her hand.
Jia Lian heard that it was indeed the case, but he felt a little sad.
Baoyu was loved and spoiled by the grandfather and the lady, but now he has fallen to the point where he can kill people.
Thinking of his unreliable father, he could only swallow his grievances. He took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, Jia Qin and Jia Yun came to me, looking for a job. I was busy at that time, so I didn't have time. Grandma, look..." The old lady was not familiar with the names of Jia Qin and Jia Yun , but judging from the names, they should be of the same generation as Jia Rong. Thinking of this, the old lady looked at the screen and communicated with netizens.
"Jia Qin seems to be the manager of the family temple. When the Grand View Garden in the Red Mansion was built, many young monks and Taoist priests were bought, and he was in charge of all these people. This man is not a good one."
"What do you mean?" the old lady asked hurriedly.
"He manages the family temple and gathers people to gamble. The Shuiyue Temple that was previously seized by you, old lady, and the later Fengyue case, Jia Qin was the protagonist, and he had an ambiguous relationship with the nun. " "
Then we can't have this one. 'The old lady said decisively, 'What about Jia Yun?'
'Jia Yun, there is a saying that his name is homophonic to "family fortune", and he may make a difference in the future after the Jia family falls.'
'Isn't he the one who had a relationship with Xiao Hong and recognized Jia Baoyu as his godfather?'
'Pfft, after hearing what the person above said, I seem to have some impression. He asked Jia Lian to give him a project, and Wang Xifeng seemed to assign him to plant flowers in the Jia family.'
'Ah, this person is really different from another, both of them have the surname Jia. Jia Yun is several years older than Jia Baoyu, and he flatters him in every way for a job.'
'Baoyu was just joking.' '
I know, but things change over time. If the Jia family falls, Jia Baoyu may not be as good as Jia Yun.'
...
The old lady did not read the netizens' speculation about the future. She didn't want the Jia family to be raided.
If it was just "it's up to you whether to raid the family or not" before, it would be better if the family was not raided, so that she could live a stable life. But now that she has met so many lovely people, she has unconsciously changed her mind.
So, the old lady only focused on the word "family fortune", turned her head and said to Jia Lian, "Then let Jia Yun and Jia Qiang go to the restaurant from time to time to look after it."
Jia Lian nodded in agreement, but Wang Xifeng was still a little unwilling.
The eldest house was busy seeing Jia Lian off, and when Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Lian was leaving, her mind became active again. After Jia Lian left, someone must visit the manor outside from time to time, so she thought of the people around her.
Because Jia Yuanchun was made a concubine earlier, she was suppressed in the struggle with Mrs. Wang.
After Wang Xifeng came back, she didn't get any power at all.
And now with such a good opportunity, she couldn't help but get excited. She secretly asked Wang Shanbao to protect the house without notifying anyone, and went to the several manors in the hands of the second master.
While things were not going well here, several girls in the mansion had already moved into the Grand View Garden. Li Wan and Jia Lan also moved in. Another girl, Miaoyu, had been living in seclusion since she came to the Jia Mansion and did not see outsiders. This time, she was also invited to the Grand View Garden.
In this way, there are seven residences, which are just enough to be occupied.
Baoyu surprised everyone at first because he did not go to the Grand View Garden. Later, when everyone saw that there were not enough rooms in the courtyard of the Grand View Garden, they thought it was better for Baoyu not to go.
Xiren got the opportunity to ease the tension with Baoyu, and she took the initiative a lot in the next few days.
She often lay outside Baoyu's bed at night, guarding him with a pair of pretty eyes silently and affectionately, which made Baoyu relax again in a few days.
On this day, Daiyu came to the mansion. After hearing about the distribution of the Grand View Garden, she smiled and praised, "In this way, you sisters can be together every day."
"Why is it just us? When you come in the future, won't we let you stay overnight?" Xichun said with a smile.
Daiyu said, "That's great. I will live in each of them in the future, so that each person can enjoy seven views, and maybe rotate every season throughout the year."
Everyone laughed when she said this.
While they were laughing, Baoyu came in and joined in the fun.
They were talking about Wang Ziteng's wife's birthday. When Wang Xifeng returned home, Wang Ziteng did not return to Beijing, but Wang Ziteng's wife did come back and sent gifts to Jia Zheng on his birthday.
Now, although the Jia family has Yuanchun as a queen in the palace, the real power in the court is not as good as that of the Wang family.
So, the old lady did not attend the Wang family's banquet under the advice of netizens. Seeing that the old lady was not going, Mrs. Wang did not go either, but Aunt Xue's family, Wang Xifeng, Sanchun and others still had to go.
Now that it was mentioned, Lin Daiyu would naturally go too, but there was no female elder in Lin Daiyu's family, so the Wang family's invitation would naturally not be sent to her, so she went with several girls from the Jia family.
The next day, the old lady got up early and asked about the Wang family's banquet while having dinner with a few maids.
As she was talking, she heard the maid say, "Grandma, Ma Dao Po is here to pay her respects to you."
"Ah, that Ma Dao Po!"
"Who?"
"That old woman who cursed Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng."
"Baoyu's godmother."
"The one who colluded with Aunt Zhao."
The old lady has always been wary of this Ma Dao Po. In previous years, she had always found various excuses to ask the Jia family to perform rituals. Because of the excuse of sending a godmother, the old lady had been watching Wang Furen coldly holding rituals for Baoyu.
There were many things to do this year, and the old lady didn't expect that it would be the day for this person to come to blackmail again, so she nodded and said, "Let her in."
Ma Dao Po was a kind-hearted person, and the maids in the mansion had to call her grandma when they saw her.
She first bowed to the old lady, paid her respects to several girls, praised them, and then went to Wang Furen. After coming several times, she knew that this Lady Shi was unwilling to pay, and only people like Wang Furen would be willing to spend money, so she didn't want to stay any longer.
After the people left, the old lady also sent away the maids.
Then she looked at Yuanyang, "Is the person who was sent to keep an eye on Aunt Zhao still there?"
Yuanyang was stunned, and immediately reacted, "Still there."
All along, she just thought that the old ancestor was worried that Huan Ge'er would be taught badly by Aunt Zhao, so he placed someone to keep an eye on Aunt Zhao. Later, the old lady asked Feng to take care of Huan Ge'er, and she was even more certain of this idea.
Now when the old lady asked, she said, "I wonder if the old ancestor has an order to send someone to reply."
"Forget it today, let him keep an eye on it, and come back tomorrow to reply." The old lady never knew when Ma Dao Po and Aunt Zhao had colluded with each other. She only knew that when she arranged someone to keep an eye on Wang Xifeng a few years ago, she also placed someone with Aunt Zhao.
Today, the old lady's eyelids were twitching, and she was a little uneasy.
While she was anxious, a day passed and there was no movement.
The next day, the servant who was placed with Aunt Zhao came back and forth: there was nothing unusual. When she asked Ma Dao Po, she said that she did see her talking with Aunt Zhao for a quarter of an hour, but it seemed to be just a few idle words.
The old lady waited for another two days, and seeing that Baoyu and Wang Xifeng had nothing wrong, she put her heart at ease.
On this day, it happened that Baoyu had been working hard for many days and was a little lazy, so he wanted to take a rest.
Xue Pan and Feng Ziying came to invite him, so he followed them to play.
But when he was halfway there, he saw servants running around in a panic.
The three of them stopped, grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened?"
The servant suddenly saw Baoyu, paused, and kowtowed, "Second Master Bao, Madam Feng is crazy, she is carrying a knife and chopping people everywhere! We are just going to ask for a doctor."
After saying that, he kowtowed again, got up and ran again, looking out of the house.
Baoyu, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying were all shocked. The three of them looked at each other and went to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.
On the way, they happened to meet a few servants who were ordered by the ancestors to look for Baoyu.
The few people met and ran all the way. During the period, they saw several destroyed flowers on the roadside. Judging from the traces, they were trampled; there were a few pine trees next to them, and there were traces of sharp objects chopping on the trunks. Just one look at it made people gasp.
When he hurried to Wang Xifeng's place, he found that the door was crowded with people inside and outside. The old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, Jia She, etc. were all gathered in the center, and there were circles of servants around them.
In the center of the yard, Wang Xifeng was giggling with her hair disheveled, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, which frightened people. Several strong servants wanted to step forward, but they didn't dare to hurt Wang Xifeng.
