Chapter 505: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (7)
Chapter 505: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (7)
Suddenly seeing so much gold and silver, his eyes were almost blinded.
He quickly slammed the box shut and said to the servant beside him.
"Hurry, hurry, find a place to hide."
Ah Shan stopped him from holding the box and said, "Master, don't worry. It's on the boat. We can hide it properly when we get back."
The father and his two sons traveled a long way by boat, and they were on the boat for more than a month before they finally returned to the capital.
It was already dark at this time, so as soon as he returned to the mansion, Jia She waved to Shuangshuang and Jia Cong.
"You must be tired from the journey. Go back and wash up and have a good rest. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
Seeing Jia She's haggard face, Xing Shi offered him a cup of ginseng and wolfberry tea out of concern.
Jia She had just taken the teacup and had no time to take a sip when Jia Shishi sent Yuanyang over.
"Master, our old lady wants to see you!"
Jia She sighed, as a mother, she didn't even say how much she loved her son.
He said seriously, "Please go back and tell the old lady that I will go to pay my respects to her after I wash and change my clothes."
The mandarin duck remained as still as a rock.
"Master, our old lady has instructed that you go there immediately. As for the rest, they are all trivial matters."
Jia She frowned slightly, then asked Yuanyang with a smile.
"Excuse me, young lady, I wonder what's the matter that the old lady is so anxious to let you go over?"
Yuanyang replied flawlessly, "Please forgive me, Master. I didn't know this either!"
Okay, since the old lady didn’t care that she was disheveled, Jia She followed Yuanyang to Rong Xi Tang next door.
Although he had to go around the front yard for a long time, Jia She felt very happy.
Because this will prevent some unnecessary trouble.
This time the old lady did not make a fuss. After receiving the notification, she immediately asked someone to invite the person in.
This was the first time that Jia She had received such treatment, and he was even more confused.
What's going on? Why is it so urgent?
But then she thought that she was her biological daughter, and she felt a little worried about her.
He calmly bowed to the old lady and said, "Greetings, old lady!"
The old lady had no interest in his affairs at all. She glanced anxiously behind him and saw that there was nothing behind him. She couldn't help but frown.
"My Yu'er?"
Jia She finally understood and wondered when his mother had become so affectionate towards him.
The answer was blunt, "I didn't bring her back."
"What? Didn't I write to Daiyu specifically asking her to come back with you?"
"What are you coming back for? Are you coming back to live with me or with you?
If you live with me, I won't feel at ease leaving everything to the mistress of the house.
If I followed you, I would be even more worried.
With such a vicious woman by your side, who knows if you can raise Daiyu safely?"
"You, you, you, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Am I talking nonsense?
Then tell me which nonsense I said?
You should ask your second daughter-in-law why Feng has not been pregnant for several years since she entered the mansion?
Don’t think that just because I didn’t say it, she didn’t do anything.”
The old lady was stunned for a moment. Only then did she remember that since the family split up, Wang Ziteng and his wife had never entered the gate of Rongguo Mansion again.
Is it because he knew that his sister Wang had drugged his daughter, so he was so cruel that he didn't want to have anything to do with her?
The old lady's heart sank instantly. She naturally had her own little thoughts on wanting to bring Daiyu into the house.
Lin Ruhai only has this one daughter. If he brings Daiyu into his house, wouldn't that mean he will have all of Lin Ruhai's belongings in his own hands?
But unexpectedly, this boss is more of a hindrance than a help.
Family disgrace should not be made public, so how could he tell it to an outsider?
However, Jia She is now a tough piece of meat in front of the old lady.
Seeing that the matter had been explained clearly, he dutifully bowed to her and left leisurely.
Early the next morning, Shuangshuang and Jia Cong went to pay their respects to the old lady.
The old lady looked like a kind grandmother and pulled the two of them to her side.
He carefully inquired about everything that happened in Yangzhou, and most importantly, asked about Daiyu's personality and appearance.
They both answered one by one, saying that Daiyu looked about 70% like her aunt.
As for her personality, it is exactly the same as her aunt's, generous and cheerful, without any pretense.
After Shuangshuang said this, the old lady nodded frequently.
In her heart, her daughter is so outstanding.
He even wanted to carry out the dark plans in his heart to the end.
After Shuangshuang and the others left, she told Yuanyang, "Prepare the writing brush and ink. I want to write a letter to my son-in-law, asking him to show some concern for Daiyu."
Lin Ruhai was very unhappy when he received the letter from Jia Shishi.
She directly refused her mother-in-law's invitation on the grounds that Daiyu had to obey her mother's orders.
Time passed quietly as Shuangshuang used the small kitchen every day to find ways to make delicious food.
That day, Shuangshuang went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to the eldest wife.
Before this, Wang Xifeng finally became pregnant and took the initiative to give the housekeeping power to Mrs. Xing.
She just stayed in her own yard to take care of her pregnancy. Unless it was something important, she would never leave the yard.
Since Jia She mentioned that Shuangshuang would be registered under the name of the Xing family, Mrs. Xing has had hope in her life.
Even if he got the right to be the steward, he couldn't plunder as much as he could before.
For Shuangshuang and Jia Cong, things improved visibly.
Treat them like their own children.
Not to say that he would grant every request, but he was willing to take out his most valuable fabrics and make clothes for Shuangshuang and Jia Cong.
Shuangshuang naturally knew that Jia She registering her under the name of her biological mother would only benefit women today.
Therefore, he was not as cold to the first wife as the original owner. When he came to pay his respects to her every day, he would accompany her to learn how to be a housekeeper.
Then when she encounters something she can't decide, he will secretly give her some advice.
That day, the mother and daughter had just finished dealing with today's affairs, and neither of them rushed back, but stayed to cultivate their relationship.
A housekeeper serving Mrs. Wang Er came to the main room.
Previously, Zhou Rui and his family were caught by Jia She, and were punished by Jia Zheng with a stick and sent to the farm.
Now Mrs. Wang Er is accompanied by another maid, from Wang Fugui's family.
Wang Fugui's round face is full of smiles, which makes him look very happy.
As soon as he came in, he bowed respectfully to Xing.
Xing was so excited that she straightened her back unconsciously.
My admiration for Jia She reached a new level, thanks to his foresight in dividing the family property.
Otherwise, when had the servants of the second house ever been so respectful to him?
She cleared her throat and said, "Get up. Mom, come over here. Is there anything the old lady can do for you?"
"Replying to Madam, it is our Second Madam who invites you."
