Chapter 496: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (8)
"Okay, then please find two maids with martial arts skills.
When the time comes, one will be placed next to Lian's daughter-in-law and one next to Yingchun.
I need a stronger wife to keep my scoundrel by my side, so she won't be a drag on me."
Speaking of this, several people became angry again, "This old lady is really too much!
How could I find you a wife of such birth?
You too, you didn't dare to resist out of filial piety.
Now you understand the pain of not having a virtuous wife at home, right?
If it was before..."
The words stopped abruptly, but the others knew what he meant.
If it was the former first wife, how could these things happen later?
After a long while, the boss finally said this.
"As for the maids, the fifth and sixth sons' children, one fourteen and one fifteen, are just the right ages.
What about the mother-in-law?
Then it’s the third sister’s family. Her family used to serve the Crown Princess.
As for you, you need to keep two people by your side, otherwise I won’t feel at ease with us! After all, you are the one he would rather die to protect.”
Zhong Da and Zhong Liu were not originally blood brothers.
They were actually the secret guards given to Jia She and the prince by the emperor when he was a child and was the prince's companion in the palace.
There were four princes and two Jia Shes. Originally, they had no surnames, but they added such surnames for convenience after they left the palace.
The name was originally taken from the character "Zhong" in the title of King Zhongyi bestowed upon the late crown prince by the retired emperor, but this was too obvious, so it was changed to "Zhong".
Later, the prince was framed and involved in a fight for the throne.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the prince had no choice but to commit suicide to save all the people around him.
Before committing suicide, he ordered Ada, Aer, Asan, and Asi, who were by his side, to take some other death squads and secret guards to go to Jia She and protect him.
When Jia She heard the news that the prince had committed suicide, he knew that he would never achieve anything in his life.
Of course, he will never be in any danger in his life. After all, he was spared by the retired emperor as a sign of benevolence.
Therefore, as long as he does not commit suicide in his life and does not get involved in things that cost lives, the new emperor will not kill him.
So they simply set the six of them free.
It's just that they were too loyal and didn't want to leave him too far.
He then changed his name and surname, married the female secret guard of the prince, and settled down in the suburbs of Beijing.
In order not to implicate them, Jia She never had any contact with them.
This time there was really no other way. He knew that there was no one around him he could rely on, so he could only ask these old brothers for help.
After the matter was settled, Jia She prepared to leave.
Zhong Da told him, "Just wait patiently at home. Once everything is arranged, I will have them appear in front of you."
Before Jia She arrived at the village entrance, the carriage was still there, and the coachman was dozing off with his head and face covered with a straw hat.
Jia She went forward to wake him up, threw him a silver ingot, and then returned to the city.
Xiaojuzi reported all of Jia She's whereabouts to Shuangshuang one by one.
They both nodded and said nothing more. It seemed that their previous guess was correct.
As the heir carefully cultivated by the late Duke, how could he be a complete idiot?
If he really was a fool, how could the emperor emeritus allow him to be a study companion to his prince?
If he knew the predetermined ending, he would still be as stupid as in the original book.
He kept acting crazy and stupid and didn't dare to draw his sword, so he deserved that ending.
The next day, after paying her respects to the old lady, she played with Jia Baoyu for a while before slowly returning to her own yard.
Unexpectedly, he met Jia She who was enjoying the scenery on the road.
Of course, it is also possible that she was waiting for him on purpose.
Shuangshuang slowly walked up to him and saluted him respectfully.
"I met my father."
Jia She looked at Shuangshuang seriously. His daughter had grown up so big without him noticing.
He trembled his lips, as if he was about to speak, and after a while, he finally spoke.
"Father already knows about the matter of the wet nurse who was with you before.
It was all because of my negligence that I allowed you to be bullied by a slave. I am deeply ashamed."
Shuangshuang shook her head gently, "Father, you're too serious. I've been through this since I was little, and I don't think I'm being bullied."
In one sentence, all the words that Jia She wanted to express his concern were stuck in his throat.
How could you be so ignored that you think it's normal?
In the end, he just gently took off the purse from his waist and handed it to Shuangshuang.
"I don't know what kind of gifts you little girls like?
I'll give you some silver so you can buy it yourself."
Shuangshuang naturally accepted this fatherly love that was hard-earned and came without delay.
She bowed again gracefully, "Thanks to my daughter, father."
When Jia She saw Shuangshuang being so polite, he immediately lost interest.
He sighed and waved dejectedly at Shuangshuang.
"Forget it, it's freezing cold, let's go back early."
Shuangshuang bowed to him again before taking Siqi Xiuju back to her own yard.
She had used her spiritual sense to look at it before, and found that there were several silver bills and a few gold and silver ingots inside.
When he returned to his own courtyard, he naturally had to open it and read it in front of Siqi and Xiu Ju.
Inside were 4 silver notes of 500 taels each, 2 gold ingots of 5 taels each, and several silver grains of tael each.
In an instant, Si Qi and Xiu Ju covered their mouths in surprise.
"Girl, girl! When did our master become so generous?
I actually gave you so much at once!
A silver note worth 500 taels!
I've never seen anything like this in my life!"
Siqi patted her lightly, "Alright, stop talking nonsense! Isn't it natural for the master to care about his own daughter?
Go and put the things away quickly, don’t let anyone else know.”
"Oh, yes, yes, I must hide it well."
The two maids were frightened by the previous Yingchun, so it would be better for them to hide the house themselves than to leave it to her for safekeeping.
Xiu Ju is lively and looks at Shuang Shuang happily.
"Girl, we are really rich this time."
Shuangshuang also smiled with admiration on her face, lowered her head and said softly.
"I didn't expect the master to give me money. It seems that he still has me as his daughter in his heart."
"Of course, I'm afraid that even the Second Master can't give the Third Miss so much money at once, let alone the Fourth Miss who is not at home."
Half a month passed quickly. Because it snowed heavily some time ago, the old lady showed mercy and asked Yuanyang to come over and tell them not to go over to pay their respects.
Otherwise, whether you slip and fall or catch a cold, she would feel distressed.
Therefore, the two of them were openly lazing around in the house. The people in the small kitchen only listened to Mother Wang because of the original owner's inaction.
The original owner wanted to eat something delicious, but Mother Wang didn't say anything, or she didn't give any money, so the small kitchen ignored them.
