The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 550 The Way
When the mandarin ducks entered Jiamu's inner room, Jiamu was playing leaf cards with some old mothers.

These old nuns didn't dare to beat Jia Mu, they were just having fun with her, so now there was a pile of copper coins in front of Jia Mu.

Yuanyang quietly came to Jiamu's side, and then said in a low voice: "Old lady, an old relative in Jinling sent you a letter. We don't know who it is, whether you read it or not." .”

Mother Jia was taken aback when she heard this, then thought for a while and nodded.

Seeing what Jiamu said, Yuanyang immediately handed the letter in her arms to Jiamu.

Mother Jia took the letter, and when she saw the peach blossom on the envelope, her expression changed a little.

This peach blossom is a specially agreed secret sign. There are 4 petals on the outermost side of the peach blossom. These 4 petals are an emergency sign. This is an agreement between Jia Mu and the Zhen family in the south. This sign is only used in an emergency. .

Jia Mu immediately opened the letter in her hand and read the contents inside.

Looking at this, his face was covered with clouds, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just waved his hand to make the old mothers around him retreat.

Jia Mu thought for a while, and said to the mandarin duck next to her, "Bring these people here and let me have a look. You should handle this matter yourself, and don't pretend to be someone else."

Yuanyang nodded, bowed and exited Jia Mu's room, and went straight to the second door.

When the mandarin duck arrived at the second gate, the boy was already waiting there impatiently.

But as soon as he saw Yuanyang, he immediately became attentive, came to Yuanyang, and kept saluting her.

"I didn't expect such a small matter to work for Sister Yuanyang."

"Okay, stop being glib and take me to meet the person who delivered the letter."

So the boy quickly shut up and led the way, and the two of them came to the corner gate all the way.

At this time, Zhen Baoyu and the girls of the Zhen family were getting impatient, and the old servant kept comforting him.

And the mandarin ducks arrived at this time, he took a sudden look and saw a young man with a face like a silver basin standing in front of him, this sight shocked her, he was almost carved out of the same mold as Jia Baoyu in the mansion Yes, if he wasn't in such a mess right now, even the mandarin duck would have almost misidentified him.

At this moment, the old servant saw the young servant leading out a very well-dressed maid, so he knew that this was a powerful maid in the mansion.

So he hurriedly stepped forward to salute the mandarin duck, and then asked, "This girl, I don't know what the old lady means?"

Yuanyang said to the old servant with a smile on his face: "This old housekeeper, our old lady invites some of you to come in and answer."

When Yuanyang was about to leave, the doorkeeper suddenly called her to stop, "Sister Yuanyang, wait a moment, I have something to report."

Yuanyang turned her head to look at the young man, and saw the young man waving to her from afar.

Yuanyang had no choice but to walk in front of the servant again.

Seeing Yuanyang approaching, the young servant hurried forward, rushed to Yuanyang's side, and said quietly: "Sister Yuanyang, they had an old lady following them just now, but now she is gone."

Yuanyang frowned upon hearing this, and finally waved his hand to let the boy go.

After that, he nodded to the young masters and girls behind, and then led the way ahead.

After a while, these people stopped by the courtyard and came to Jiamu's room.

Yuanyang stopped here and said to these people: "Young masters, miss, and this old housekeeper, please wait here for a while, I will go in and call the old lady."

After Yuanyang finished speaking, she went directly into Jia Mu's main room without waiting for these people to speak, and at this time Jia Mu had been waiting in the main room for a long time.

"If you go back to the old lady, the person has already been taken outside. Please tell the old lady what to do next."

"Who are all the people here?"

"Going back to the old lady, there is a son, three young ladies, and an old housekeeper who is leading the way."

Yuanyang paused, and added, "That young master is a bit strange."

As soon as Jia's mother heard this, she asked, "what's so strange, isn't it too ugly?"

"Back to the old lady, it's not that she's too ugly, but at a glance, this young master is almost exactly the same as our Jia Baoyu. If it wasn't for the different clothes, I met him on the street. I really thought it was our Jia Baoyu."

After hearing this, the old lady came to Xingzhi, and then said with a smile: "Then I will see you, you can tell them to come in."

Yuanyang didn't go out immediately, but said from the side: "Old lady, they were still following an old nanny, but when I went out, no one was there."

Who is Jia Mu?As soon as I heard this, I knew what this person was doing. The Zhen family had a close relationship with their Jia family, and the grandmothers of the two families also had a lot of contacts. It seems that this old woman has gone to find another relationship.

In that case, don't worry about her, just see who he can find, "Let her go."

Seeing that Jia Mu only said this sentence and had nothing else to say, Yuanyang saluted Jia Mu first, and then withdrew from Jia Mu's main room.

After a while, several people were led in. Jia Mu sat in the middle and took a look. Isn't Jia Baoyu coming in in front?But if you look carefully, you can see that this young man's face is covered with dust and his clothes are not very clean, and he looks a little thinner than Jia Baoyu.

After these sons and daughters came in, they first saluted Jia Mu according to the rules, and then stood aside, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that they were standing there a little strangely, and what the children could say back, Jia Mu asked Yuanyang to lead Zhen Baoyu and the girls down, freshen up and let them rest for a while.

At this time, only the old servant was left in the house.

"What's the matter with your family? How did you cause such a big event?"

In fact, Mother Jia was also a little unhappy after reading the letter. What happened to the Zhen family? The old relatives of several lifetimes came to cause trouble for her family as soon as they came to power. Could this still be a relative?
The old servant said with some embarrassment: "Returning to the old lady, this time it is our master who has done poorly. The main reason is that the uncle of your mansion suddenly withdrew the right to monitor Jiangnan. Our master was a little anxious, so we did it. If something is wrong, please ask the old lady to deal with it too much."

Mother Jia heard what he said, but she didn't know if it was true. She could understand Jia Ke's withdrawal of the right to monitor Jiangnan. How could Jia Ke trust them, and it was the right intention to take back their rights.

"Then what do you mean now?"

"Back to the old lady, now we don't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts, just ask the old lady to say a few words in front of the prime minister, let our family go, and let us be safe, which is the greatest blessing."

Mother Jia was also a little moved when she heard his words. After all, she was an old relative, and she had to forgive others, but she still couldn't decide this matter.

If it is about the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Ke naturally has nothing to do with him, but the matter of the court is no small matter, and it will affect the whole body. If he intervenes rashly, it may be a bit bad. Besides, he doesn't know Jia Ke. Did Ke have any other intentions? If he ruined his plan, it would be more harm than good for the Jia family.

"Go back and rest first, I know about this, I will give you a message as soon as possible."

After Jiamu finished saying this, she winked at the maid next to her, and the maid led the old servant out.

"Yuanyang, go to the next mansion to see if your uncle is back. If he comes back, let him come to my place."

Yuanyang got what Jiamu said, went out, and went straight to the nearby Duke Yan's mansion.

Not to mention the matter of mandarin ducks, but now in Mrs. Wang's room, the old nanny who was missing in the poem is kneeling in front of Mrs. Wang, kowtowing non-stop.

"I beg Madam to show you a noble hand and deliver a letter to our lady in the palace, but our family is at the end of its rope, otherwise I wouldn't dare to bother Madam."

Mrs. Wang sat on it without any expression. She knew from the mouth of the old nanny that Jia Ke was going to attack the Zhen family.

Regarding this matter, Mrs. Wang didn't have any dissatisfaction. When the Jia family was in trouble, the Zhen family was so glorious at that time. Jiangnan almost covered the sky with one hand, so I didn't see this old relative come to help. At that time, the affection point has been almost exhausted.

The old nanny who was kneeling on the ground knew something was wrong when she saw Mrs. Wang's expressionless eyes, so she gritted her teeth and took out a few bank notes from her bosom, held them in front of Mrs. Wang and said, "These Yin Zi made a cup of tea for Madam, and asked Madam to help her a lot."

Yu Chuan'er, who was standing next to Mrs. Wang, hurried forward to take the bank note, and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang took a look and found that the one on the top was 5000 taels, so there are probably tens of thousands of taels.

"You stay in the mansion first, and I'll get back to you when I get the news."

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Caixia who was standing below immediately stepped forward to help the old nanny and took her out.

Mrs. Wang only took the bank note at this time, and then she meditated for a long time, and finally showed a smug smile.

Besides, Yuanyang got Jia's mother's order and dared not neglect it. It came to Yan Guogong's mansion from the moon gate, passed the second gate, and directly fell into Qin Keqing's main house.

Outside Qin Keqing's main gate, some servant girls had already seen the mandarin ducks. Most of these maids in Yan State's mansion were transferred from Rongguo Mansion, so they naturally knew the weight of mandarin ducks.

So these maids came forward and surrounded Yuanyang to salute her, "Sister Yuanyang, why do you have time to come to us?"

"You go in and make an announcement, just say that I want to see grandma."

Seeing Yuanyang's serious face, these maidservants knew that he had something to do, so they stopped pestering one of the maidservants and went into the main room, and came out again after a while, and said to Yuanyang with a smile: "Grandma invites sister Yuanyang to go in. "

Only then did Yuanyang dare to enter Qin Keqing's main room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Qin Keqing sitting in the middle, with Shi Xiangyun sitting next to him.

Qin Keqing watched the mandarin duck salute herself, and then asked, "Could it be that the old lady has some orders for you this time?"

"If you go back to grandma, the old lady asked me to come over and ask if the uncle is there? If so, please go to the old lady's place."

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you came here. Your uncle has just come back and is taking a bath in the back. You wait a moment, wait for him to come out in a while, let him go to see the old lady with you."
