8 008 Shock

◎ It was a close call! Jia Min almost became Mrs. Zhen. ◎

The maids of the Zhen family suddenly heard Mo Yu’s inner voice, and they were stunned, and then they were angry:

Who is talking there? ? !! !

How presumptuous!

What is the Lin family trying to do? ? !! !

How courageous! ! !

They dared to say this about our old lady in public, they simply don’t want to live - although our old lady is indeed a wet nurse, she is the wet nurse of the emperor.

Serving the emperor is such an honorable job, ordinary people want to do it but can’t.

Besides, our Zhen family is a bannerman of the white banner, a real bannerman. What about you Lin family? But we are just ordinary Han people, the difference in status is not just a little bit, why are we so high and mighty here?

His Majesty treats our old lady as his own mother, and treats our old man as his own brother. Do you believe that our old man can confiscate your family with just a flick of his little finger?

Even in the Zhen family, these old women are relatively high-ranking and well-known housekeepers. They usually go around and socialize on behalf of the Zhen family’s mistresses who are too busy to do anything. They have also seen a lot of the world. After a long time, it is inevitable that they think too highly of themselves - just like those eunuchs who served the emperor and the emperor before, and they are a bit like "foxes borrowing the power of tigers" who can't find their own position.

Normally, not to mention the people in the family, even when they go out to socialize, others, for the sake of the Zhen family, would give them some face, calling them sister-in-law and nanny, respectfully and affectionately. How could

they be confronted like this before? Why is it that only the Lin family doesn't give them face?

It's really disrespectful.

The old women of the Zhen family became more and more angry as they thought about it. For a moment, they were so angry that they almost wanted to explode on the spot.

But soon they found that something was wrong...

First of all, they couldn't find who was talking.

This voice was obviously the voice of a clear and bright young man, and no one present met this condition. Even if there was, it couldn't be such a generous and master-like voice.

Secondly, whenever they wanted to make a fuss about these few sentences, to question them, or to get mad, their throats were like being strangled by a pair of invisible big hands, and they couldn't speak at all.

And the more they struggled, the tighter they were strangled, and they gradually couldn't breathe. One of the most sharp-tongued housekeepers even choked so hard that her face turned red and she started coughing on the spot.

It was as if they were suddenly hit by some kind of witchcraft.

After several attempts, they finally realized this. They looked at each other and found surprise and fear in each other's eyes.

But for some reason, they couldn't get rid of this situation. They looked carefully at the people in the Lin family. From the wife Jia to the housekeeper's wife, and even the young men and women sitting next to them, they all looked very normal. No one was talking. This matter was really getting weirder.

Could it be that they really encountered some kind of monster?

That would be terrifying.

The more the maids thought about it, the more scared they became. In the end, they didn't even dare to say anything. They could only put down their things and hurriedly said goodbye. It can be said that they fled in panic.

Although these maids in the Zhen family are a bit arrogant, they are not completely stupid.

It's just that what happened today was really beyond their imagination, so they showed their cowardice.

In addition, Jia Min was originally a master of communication, so it was a piece of cake for her to deal with these maids.

Jia Min was very happy after winning the first battle. She couldn't help but hug Mo Yu and kiss him immediately, and then held Daiyu in her arms and loved her for a while.

What made her happier than winning the battle against those ignorant old women in the Zhen family was that she had an extra gain from this "battle" - that is, she once again verified what her son's strange ability was. Since Jia Min had already

accepted that her son's thoughts would be heard by others, she must have wanted to have more complete defensive measures.

Almost from the moment she discovered that Mo Yu had this special ability, Jia Min had already started to cover for him.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles." To perfectly cover for Mo Yu, you must first understand how his special ability works.

Before, Jia Min had only tried it inside the Lin Mansion, that is, no matter what her son said in his heart, those who heard it had no way to ask directly. This was the case for

everyone in the Lin Mansion, without exception, but they had never tried it in front of outsiders.

Firstly, there was no such opportunity, and secondly, they were indeed a little afraid.

Today, it happened that the maids from the Zhen family came to the door, and it was a good opportunity to verify it.

Jia Min was extremely intelligent and very good at observing words and expressions. When she was in the Duke's Mansion, she was brought up by Jia's mother and taught personally, so she was naturally different from ordinary ladies.

When she married into the Lin family in Gusu, she was the wife of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai, and she was in charge of the internal affairs and socializing everywhere, which was even more amazing.

Not to mention that the people who came today were several housekeepers from the Zhen family, even if it was the wife of Zhen Yingjia herself, she would not lose. It

can be said that it is precisely because the Lin family has lived in Gusu for a long time and has not gone to Jinling, and whether it is Lin Ruhai or Jia Min, they are all low-key, so the mistress of the Zhen family in Jinling City is more outstanding.

This does not mean that Jia Min is not powerful.

On the contrary, it can better show that she is "a real person who does not show her face".

Speaking of which, the current head of the Zhen family and the patriarch of the Zhen clan, Zhen Yingjia, is quite related to Jia Min.

When the Jia family was also in Jinling City before, the two families had always been in contact with each other, and they had also been related by marriage.

If one were to calculate carefully, the current head of their family, Zhen Yingjia, was the legitimate son of the old lady of the Zhen family who had been the wet nurse of Master Kang, and was also Jia Min's cousin within five generations.

If the old lady Jia had not personally decided to marry her most beloved and most outstanding youngest daughter, Jia Min, to Lin Ruhai of the Gusu Lin family in order to achieve the transformation of the family, then Jia Min would probably have become Zhen Yingjia's wife...

Of course, there was also a little bit of age incompatibility, after all, Zhen Yingjia was the same age as Jia Zheng, but it was mainly because the Jia family wanted to transform, so Jia Min did not marry within the big families.

Because of this, Zhen Yingjia's wife, the current head of the Zhen family, somewhat dislikes Jia Min, her cousin, but most people won't say it out loud. But

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai are clear about this matter, so they usually try to avoid interacting with them. In addition, the Zhen family has been standing on the side of the prince with great fanfare since the beginning, so Lin Ruhai and his wife are even more speechless, and they are too lazy to go near them even if they have nothing to do. After all

, seeing that the Zhen family is rushing to seek death, it is better to stay away from them. It will be troublesome if they are implicated by innocent people. It is better

to die with a friend than to die with a poor friend. This is the truth of the world.

Let go of the sentiment of helping others and respect the fate of others. Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine.

It can be said that if it weren't for the verbal message from Master Kang sent from the capital, asking the Lin family to assist the Zhen family in arranging the takeover, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min would never have any contact with the Zhen family.

But no matter what, since it was a verbal order from the Lord, it didn't matter whether the two families had contact or not. They had to put aside the past and sit down to discuss and do a good job.

If it wasn't done well, neither family would benefit.

Therefore, when Jia Min heard that someone from the Zhen family was coming, she still arranged a grand reception with enough pomp and ceremony - it would not be an exaggeration to say that the reception was in accordance with the standards of the Zhen family's wife coming in person.

But what was unexpected was that the Zhen family was really rude. Not only did not a single master come, but only a few housekeepers came.

Jia Min was already full of anger, thinking about how to give these old women a warning, but she never expected that her precious son had already helped her do this.

For a moment, she was both happy and nervous. She was happy that her son was really awesome, and he had already made these old people feel embarrassed without saying a word. She was nervous because if the secret that he could express his inner thoughts was known by outsiders and spread everywhere, what would she do? Fortunately,

she made the right bet.

Although these old women could hear her son's inner thoughts, they couldn't say it out loud just like them.

This is great.

It can just happen that many things can be done that could not be done before because of face.

For example, the sarcasm today is very good.

It's nice to hear, I like it, and I want to say more.

Jia Min was extremely happy, but she didn't show it on her face. She was still being polite to the maids from the Zhen family as usual. Not only her, but all the Lin family members who served beside her were the same.

Everyone was united in protecting our young master and angering the servants who were as arrogant as basins.

The maids from the Zhen family had a hard time, but they didn't gain any advantage. Instead, they were frightened by Mo Yu's special ability to speak his mind out loud. They crawled away and said goodbye, and went to the Zhen family to report without saying anything.

Jia Min ordered people to send them out politely. She was too lazy to say anything more. She turned around and couldn't help laughing. Then she hugged Mo Yu and kissed him:

"My son, it's all thanks to you today that I didn't get bullied by those people."

Mo Yu was a little confused. He thought to himself, how could a few complaints in my heart have such a big effect? ​​Do I have any special abilities?

It can't be enough, right?

He had some doubts in his heart, but Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu were talking to him happily, and they were arranging what to eat for lunch and what to play in the afternoon, so Mo Yu quickly put this matter behind him.

But playing is playing, and making trouble is making trouble. Whether it is Mo Yu or Jia Min, or even everyone in the Lin Mansion, they all know that the matter of the Zhen family will not be over.

Sure enough, within two days, the invitation from the Zhen family came again.

This time, it was to invite Jia Min to bring the children to go out and meet at the Zhen family for dinner.

Of course, they didn't have to travel all the way to the Zhen family in Jinling City.

The Zhen family is a wealthy family with mansions everywhere, and naturally they have real estate in Gusu City.

Not to mention, this Gusu City already has a palace prepared to receive Emperor Kangxi's southern tour.

And this palace was also supervised and built by Zhen Yingjia and his son - yes, it was so awesome, such a large palace, the procurement, construction, decoration, and decoration were all undertaken by their Zhen family.

The Zhen family was originally based on the Cao family.

Zhen Yingjia's grandfather was the grandfather of the Cao family, who followed Dorgon. After Dorgon messed up things later, their family followed Emperor Shunzhi again.

Because of his contribution to the "suppression of rebellion", Master Shunzhi admired their grandfather very much, so he gave the eldest son of the old man, Zhen Yingjia's father, a second-class guard position.

In order to show trust and intimacy, he even chose Zhen Yingjia's mother, the old lady of the Zhen family, who had only been married for a few years and was still a new daughter-in-law, to be the wet nurse of the third prince Xuanye.

So, after the third prince, nicknamed Master Kang, ascended the throne, the Zhen family soared.

Master Kang lost his father at the age of eight and his mother at the age of ten. He was seriously lacking in fatherly and motherly love, so he really respected the old lady of the Zhen family as his own mother, and treated Zhen Yingjia, his milk brother, very well.

Not long after he took power at the age of 18, he gave the lucrative post of Jiangning Textile Factory to his nanny's husband, Zhen Yingjia's father, Old Lady Zhen.

Then, of course, he also let Zhen Yingjia symbolically serve as a guard in front of him for a few days, but soon he was sent home to inherit his father's lucrative post and continue to make money for him in Jiangnan - you said Master Kang didn't want this money? Then, didn't he have to spend money to come to the south for nothing?

Supervising the palace, arranging food and accommodation, and even recruiting some Jiangnan beauties, all these cost money.

Even Jia Lian's nanny knew that this job was just "using the emperor's money to spend on the emperor", and of course Master Kang knew it too.

So, the money has been spent, the fun has been had, but who will clean up the mess left behind? It must be the four great masters of our frugal family.

It was at that time that the Zhen family fell into trouble.

It is really a cause for celebration.

Mo Yu leaned on the gorgeous and soft carriage, eating the desserts made by Jia Min and drinking the herbal tea made by Daiyu, while letting the system play these gossips for him.

He didn't know that Jia Min and Daiyu, who were sitting opposite him, were also listening. When they heard the key points, the two of them would show an itchy expression, for fear that he would fall asleep because of tiredness or switch channels because of boredom...

Emma, ​​I didn't expect that the affairs of the Zhen family were so interesting. Brother Mo, if you can talk, please say more.

Mo Yu was oblivious to this and continued to eat melon in his own world. Soon they arrived at their destination.

The Lin family's carriage drove directly into the inner courtyard of the Zhen family. Maids and servants had already stepped forward to lift the curtains to welcome them.

Before Mo Yu got off the car, he saw a middle-aged man with a very sturdy build coming towards him.

As soon as he saw Mo Yu and his group, he grinned. Then he strode towards them, laughing and said:

"Hey, isn't this the cousin from the Jia family? It's been a long time since I last saw you. Cousin, your grace... wow... is even better than before! Even better than before! Hahahahaha!"

[Author's words]
