Chapter 736(2/2)
"I heard that Concubine Wu was considerate of the empress, so she specially placed her at the front of the queue so that she could go home to visit her doctor."
Jia Zheng listened a little absent-mindedly. In fact, Rongguo Mansion had experienced so much in the past six months that he had forgotten about the matter of visiting relatives. Now that he was caught off guard, he had to step up preparations if he wanted not to lose his dignity.
But if you work overtime, you have to pay extra!
Even if we were half as prepared as when we went back to visit relatives for the first time, our family would still be in a deficit of tens of thousands of taels.
Someone proposed to repeat the same trick and pledge the income from the shop, but Tanchun rejected it. The main reason is that without this piece of income, the family will still fall into a situation of high debt sooner or later, and the only chance to turn over will be ruined.
Originally, the best way to survive this disaster was to seek help from the Xue family, but that little beast made such a mess of a good marriage that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had no shame to mention it to Aunt Xue.
Both roads are dead, and there is no third way to think of. In recent days, the whole family has been scratching their heads and scratching their heads anxiously because of this matter.
Therefore, Jia Zhengcai was a little distracted.
However, when he heard the word Wu Guifei, he reacted belatedly and asked quickly: "I have never heard of any relationship between Wu Guifei and the empress, but what happened this time..."
"Probably I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can help me more in the future."
Jiao Shun explained casually, and then said: "Actually, the main reason I came here this time was to visit the old lady. My uncle also knew that Xiangyun grew up beside the old lady since he was a child. Now it is difficult for him to move around.
Ask me to move around more."
After a pause, he added: "It just so happens that I can urge Brother Bao to work harder."
When he returned from Rongguo Mansion last time, Shi Xiangyun made a small suggestion, that is, since the two parties are now relatives, they cannot continue to use the old title, so Jiao Shun followed the trend and called Jia Zheng "uncle" instead.
I'm afraid I'll have to change it again after a while.
When he mentioned Baoyu, Jia Zheng couldn't help but snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe that little beast can really cheer up - if he really wants to cheer up, why bother to postpone it to next year?"
"Haha, Brother Bao is still young after all, so we have to give him a process of adaptation."
Jiao Shun originally just said this casually, but when it fell into Jia Zheng's ears, it made him suspicious again. He thought, how could Jiao Changqing be more indulgent and considerate to that little beast than himself?
That means the age doesn't match, otherwise he would probably be suspicious...
Seeing the gloomy look on his face, Jiao Shun thought he still hated iron and simply suggested, "If not, take Brother Huan with you so that the two brothers can be taken care of in the future."
This is exactly what Jia Zheng wants. He has been completely disappointed with Baoyu recently and intends to start a new business.
So he was busy and ordered people to invite Jia Huan.
At that time, Jia Huan was folding paper at Aunt Zhao's place. When she heard that her father had summoned her, she looked frightened.
Aunt Zhao hurriedly took some broken silver, stuffed it into the maid who was delivering the message, and asked, "Why did the master suddenly want to see Brother Huan?"
"I heard that it was Uncle Jiao who suggested that Third Master Huan also learn how to handle official duties - the same things that Second Master Bao has been learning recently. That's why I summoned Third Master."
Aunt Zhao suddenly turned from worry to joy, but the bitter look on Jia Huan's face became even more intense. When the maid left, she pouted and complained: "It's so good, why do you suddenly want to take me with you again?"
"You're so worthless!"
Aunt Zhao's face sank, she twisted his ears and scolded: "What a great opportunity this is. If you do better than Baoyu, Baoyu's position might be yours in the future! If it weren't for your mother's concern.
...In view of your sister’s face, you can’t even think of finding such an opportunity even if you hold a lantern!”
As soon as he heard that there was a chance to seize Baoyu's bird position, Jia Huan immediately became nervous, threw away the origami in his hand, and said hurriedly: "Then I'll go there right now!"
With that said, he ran out of the door as fast as he could.
Aunt Zhao sent her son away, and the more she thought about it, the more she realized that this matter was very promising. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that losing her virginity to Jiao Shun was a mistake.
By the way...
