The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 474 Residence
After hearing Jia Mu's order, Yuanyang immediately left the room, and after a while, Yuanyang brought in a beautiful little girl.

It was the first time Jia Ke saw Qingwen, so she looked her up and down.I saw that although she was still young, her appearance was no worse than that of Lin Daiyu and others.

No wonder Shi Xiangyun compares Qingwen and Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber.

Qingwen already felt that someone was staring at her, so she raised her head and met Jia Ke's eyes.If it was any other girl, she would have lowered her head in shame by this time, but when Qingwen saw Jia Ke not only did not bow her head, but gave him a hard look, she turned her head away.

Jia Ke couldn't help laughing inwardly, admiring what a handsome hot girl she is.

Yuanyang and Qingwen came to Jia Mu and saluted Jia Mu together.

Jia's mother glanced at Qingwen, smiled and said to Shi Xiangyun next to her, "This girl is a good girl, and I will stay with you now. It can be regarded as a care for you."

After listening to Jia Mu's words, Shi Xiangyun looked Qingwen up and down, and saw that although she was handsome, there was a kind of arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes that was different from that of the maids beside her.

Shi Xiangyun was a little worried, this girl was so arrogant, she might have big thoughts, who might be on her mind.But she couldn't refuse what Jia Mu gave her.

Shi Xiangyun stood up from his seat, wished Jia Mu a blessing, and said, "The old lady's vision is indeed good. I think this girl is also refreshing, and my temper is also right. From now on, just follow me."

When Jia's mother heard that Xiangyun praised her vision, she was very happy, and said to Qingwen who was kneeling on the ground: "You girl, you are the best among so many people. Now I let you serve the eldest girl." , You do your best, and I will give you a result when the time comes."

Qingwen looked at Jia Mu in surprise, she didn't understand what Jia Mu meant and what result she wanted for herself.Could it be that he wanted to be merciful and let him go out of the house.

But Mother Jia didn't continue to explain to her, but said to the mandarin duck next to her, "Qingwen and Xiangyun's girl just now will be counted according to the big girl's share from today onwards. And Xiangyun's monthly money will be calculated according to Daiyu's." Just give an example."

Yuanyang agreed beside her, and then returned to stand beside Jia Mu again.

Yuanyang stood for a while, and seeing that Jiamu had no other orders, she asked softly beside her: "Old lady, where is Miss Shi's residence arranged? Is it a villa in the yard, or is it arranged in our mansion?" A small courtyard."

Jia thought for a while, Xiangyun is still young, and it may take a few years before he can have a garden with Jia Ke. It is not good to keep them too close now, so it is better to put them in the Grand View Garden and let her and her sisters be together. Playing together can also crowd out the troubles in her heart.

"Xiangyun is still young, she just wants to play with the sisters in the garden, let her live in the Rose Garden." Jia Mu immediately arranged Shi Xiangyun's place to live.

When Shi Xiangyun heard that he was arranged in the Rose Garden, he also began to feel happy.She has lived in Rongguo Mansion a few times before, and each time she lived with others, and never had her own courtyard, so she now has her own nest.

Although the living place is considered spacious, it is always a little inconvenient. Now that Mother Jia has arranged a villa for herself, it can be regarded as a little settled in the future.

"Since Xiangyun lives in Qiangwei Courtyard, these two maids can't do it in such a big courtyard. After you're done, tell Sister Feng to match the little maid and the mother-in-law. Don't wrong us Xiangyun." Jia's mother now treats Shi Xiangyun like any other granddaughter. When Shi Xiangyun came, Jia's mother didn't care about her as much as she does now.

There are three reasons for this. One is that Shi Xiangyun is just the grandniece of Jia's mother, and she is one level inferior to other girls.

Jia’s mansion is a paradise for Xiangyun. There are so many young sisters who can play together, but they are not self-confident. Long, so Xiangyun was not given a separate place.

The second is that Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu often accompanied each other when they were young, and now they both live in the garden. If Shi Xiangyun was given a villa alone, they would communicate with each other in private. Lord Hou complained.It's better to let her get along with others, this way it's considered fair and aboveboard, and others won't be able to say anything weird.

The third is that Xiangyun has a bold personality, so he didn't worry about it, and never asked Jia Mu privately for it. Besides, Xiangyun likes to be lively, so he didn't set up a special place for her. Instead, he let her live with whoever she likes. In the past, when Jia's mother asked Sister Feng to set up another place for Xiangyun to live with her, Xiangyun insisted on refusing, and only wanted to live with Baochai.

Now Xiangyun's identity is different from before, no matter what, he can be regarded as a member of Jia's family.From Jia Ke's point of view, there is absolutely no reason for her to live with others.

That's why Mother Jia arranged a place for her to live in, and provided her with all the maids and wives, treating her equally with other girls.

Jia Ke heard that Mother Jia's arrangement was very thoughtful, so she stood up quickly, "Thank you for taking care of me, old lady, and I'm here to thank you on behalf of Xiangyun."

When Shi Xiangyun heard Jia Ke's words, he squinted at him, then immediately lowered his head, and she blushed again.Although Shi Xiangyun didn't want to be a concubine, there was nothing he could do about it. Jia Ke would be her closest relative in this life, and now hearing him protect her felt a little heartwarming.

"Okay, since the arrangement has been made, everyone can relax. Yuanyang, you should send someone to tell Feng girl now, and ask her to clean up the rose courtyard immediately, and see when people can live in it. During this period, let Xiang Yun stays in my inner room." Then Jia Mu arranged for Xiangyun to live temporarily.

Shi Xiangyun was not dissatisfied with this arrangement, she also lived in Jia Mu's room before.Now live again, do not feel any embarrassment.

Yuanyang listened to Jia Mu's order, agreed and went out.

Jia Zheng, Jia Ke and others saw that the work was over, so they invited Shi Nai to the front hall for a drink.Shi Nai readily accepted their invitation, so the three left and went to the front.

When the three of them came to the front, Jia Zheng immediately ordered a banquet to be arranged, and soon a banquet was set up in the side room of Rongxi Hall.

So the three of them sat down and started talking about everything while drinking.

Mainly, Shi Nai asked Jia Ke if he had any orders for going to Yangzhou this time.Because Shi Nai clearly knew where his status came from, now he asked clearly so that he could serve Jia Ke faithfully even if he went to Yangzhou in the future.

Jia Ke said with a smile: "Uncle this time going to Yangzhou, there is no need to have any other scruples. Those people in Yandao and Hedao Yamen don't have to have anything to do with them. These two places are messed up everywhere. I will rectify them sooner or later. Don't get involved, uncle."

Shi Nai also understood what Jia Ke meant. Now that these two places are probably the emperor or the overlord, how can Jia Ke rest assured?
"In that case, I will obey the order."

"This time, when you go to Yangzhou, it's usually the time to do what you want according to the law. But if the local general comes to ask you for help, you can't refuse, and try your best to cooperate with him."

Jia Kezhan also quietly confessed to Shi Nai.

Shi Nai immediately understood what Jia Ke meant, and felt even more proud of his choice in his heart. It seemed that these soldiers were all Jia Ke's people.

After talking about the affairs of the court, everyone was relieved, so they changed glasses on the wine table. Shi Nai didn't hear the compliment Jia Zheng has a good son, so you will have a long time to drink.

Besides, Mrs. Zhang sat beside Jia Mu and talked with her.

At this time, Mother Jia asked about the living conditions of the Marquis Bowling's Mansion in the past few years. Although Shi Nai had given him an antidote before, how could a grown man know the details of the mansion.

Mrs. Zhang frowned when she heard Jiamu's question, and said with a lowered eyebrow, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Auntie. It has been really difficult in the mansion for a few years. The reason we went south this time is because we stole the housekeeper's house. With some windfall, this can be done."

In fact, it was just that she was crying about being poor, no matter what the Marquis Bowling's Mansion was, they had some wealth, it was just that they did what they could, and they were usually frugal and didn't dare to stop the famine.

Mother Jia became even more worried when she heard this. She had always known that life in Baolinghou's Mansion was difficult, and that even Shi Xiangyun had to do work, but she never expected it to come to this point.

"Since that's the case, do you have any difficulties when you arrive in Yangzhou? If you are short of money, you can get some from me first." After all, it was her nephew, so Mother Jia was still a little worried.They can't be allowed to go to Yangzhou to take office and lose the face of Marquis Bowling's mansion, so how can they meet their elder brother in the future?
"Don't worry, old lady, we already have enough money, but I didn't expect these housekeepers to be too arrogant. The old people who have lived for several lifetimes are so greedy. The money at home is probably more than my treasury." Zhang Mrs. Shi sighed there.

After hearing her words, Mother Jia couldn't help but think of Lai Da and Lai Mammy.If it wasn't for Jia Ke's affairs back then, they wouldn't have discovered that their family's wealth had surpassed that of the Rongguo Mansion. This is not a slave, it is simply an enemy.

"You still don't have much experience. None of these housekeepers are lying. Even the housekeepers in our house have a lot of furniture." After hearing what he said, Jia Mu also began to sigh.

Now Mother Jia couldn't help thinking of Nanny Lai again, and at the same time lamented that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Now that they have greedy so much money, what's the use of enjoying it if they don't have their lives in the end?
The maidservants beside them who listened to their conversation began to sweat.None of the housekeepers in the family gave them money because they wanted to get some news in advance, and now they heard Jiamu's words.These maids were beating their hearts, and they had to tell the housekeepers the news as soon as possible, and let them stop, otherwise Jia Mu would really get angry one day, and I'm afraid it would be another Lai family.
