Daming Palace, inside Shouan Hall.

At this time, the Queen Mother sat expressionlessly on the high platform, while Baochai knelt down in the hall anxiously, waiting for instructions.

Zhao Xi on the side was "heart-wrenching", and the hint of mature charm on Baochai's face and the slightly staggering steps when she entered the palace all spurred her.

It was just the Queen Mother's order, and even Zhao Xi, as a princess, could not help it. Although he was "comforted" and persuaded by Yingluo for a while yesterday, Zhao Xi still felt dissatisfied.

After pondering for a moment, the Queen Mother said seriously: "Tell me, that bastard of the Jia family has flaws."

The duty of the trial marriage maid is to test the potential consort's ability. Although it is a private matter, she must report everything in detail to provide reference for the princess.

Baochai's ears were slightly red, she pursed her lips, and began to report everything in detail, such as Jia Yun's posture, duration, size and so on.

Finally, Baochai concluded: "To the Queen Mother, Lord Jia Bo is so powerful that his slaves...are not worthy of being conquered."

The Queen Mother sneered in her heart when she heard this. Is this what the Jia family said about physical illness? According to Baochai's statement, if Jia Yun hadn't cared about the fragrance and cherished the jade, I'm afraid Baochai wouldn't have been able to get up...

But now is not the time to care about these things. Jia Yun is very powerful. The empress dowager who has been here naturally knows that this is a good thing for the princess and is conducive to the harmony between the consort and the princess.

After pondering for a moment, the Queen Mother said: "Before Xi'er's wedding, you carefully examine the character of the prospective consort. If you dare to conceal it or not report it, your Xue family will weigh the weight of his bones."

The palace maids in the trial marriage not only have to test the potential husband-in-law's ability, but also live in the prospective husband-in-law's house for a period of time, so as to assess the potential husband-in-law's character in all aspects.

Baochai only tested Jia Yun's ability for the first time yesterday. The others have not been tested yet, so the task has not been completed. Baochai still needs to serve him personally.

The Queen Mother's words were a warning to Xue Baochai, asking her to report truthfully. After all, the incident caused by Jia Yun really made the Queen Mother uneasy.

He concealed his relationship with Jia Yun, so the Empress Dowager gave him a stern warning.

This marriage was decided by the Supreme Emperor and cannot be changed. However, Zhao Xi has always been the Queen Mother's favorite, so she cannot be wronged. If Jia Yun's character is bad, it is best to make arrangements in advance to prevent Zhao Xi from suffering.

Baochai's heart tightened when she heard this. She knew that the Queen Mother was extremely dissatisfied with Jia Yun. By the way, she didn't even like her, a relative who was related to the Jia family. If not, how could Baochai be allowed to be a trial marriage maid?

Such a humiliating errand.

Pursing her lips, Baochai responded respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will obey the decree carefully and will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's respect."

The Queen Mother looked at Baochai who was bowing with satisfaction. Apart from anything else, this respectful and observant appearance also made the Queen Mother feel quite happy.

Nodding, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "Go down and rest first!"

After all, Baochai had done her best yesterday, so the Queen Mother did not embarrass her and let her go down to rest.

Baochai heard this and responded respectfully: "I thank the Queen Mother for her kindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xi, who couldn't hold himself back, stood up and asked the Queen Mother for instructions: "Mother, I'm going down there with my precious girl."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she glared at Zhao Xi. How could a palace maid need to be taken down by a princess to rest?

However, Zhao Xi had such a temperament and was getting married soon, so the Queen Mother no longer scolded him harshly and agreed.

Zhao Xi was overjoyed when he saw this, bowed respectfully, and then left with Baochai.

Knowing that Baochai was unwell, Zhao Xi did not rush back to his palace.

When it comes to cherishing her daughter, Zhao Xi is obviously no worse than others.

After returning to Zhao Xi's palace, Zhao Xi greeted Baochai with greetings. Baochai really didn't know how to respond. He withdrew the hand held by Zhao Xi. Baochai said: "Princess, I am fine, you don't have to worry."

Zhao Xi's expression did not improve after hearing this, and he said distressedly: "You couldn't walk steadily just now. You didn't seem to be okay at all. Moreover, the book also said that my daughter was in pain the first night."

Listening to Zhao Xi's straightforward words, Baochai couldn't help but think of the situation last night, and her face gradually turned rosy. However, the person in front of her was the princess who was about to get married, and her task was to try out the marriage for the princess.

The princess also needed to understand, so Baochai endured her shyness and lowered her eyes and said: "Princess,... Uncle Jia is a man who takes pity on his daughter. Last night... well... except for some discomfort at the beginning, he felt very good from now on."

It’s getting...more and more comfortable.”

Zhao Xi frowned when he heard this and said nonchalantly: "The Su Nv Sutra says: "A contract of affection is both happy and satisfying." The Jia family members are just outsiders, so they can't compare to our mutual understanding."

This statement is nothing more than the connotation that Jia Yun gets what others cannot.

The son is not a fish, and he does not know the joy of fish. In the eyes of Baochai and others, the relationship with the princess is just the intimacy between daughters and has nothing to do with anything else. Naturally, his thoughts are contrary to Zhao Xi's.

Baochai's face was rosy, and she had been Zhao Xi's companion for half a year. Naturally, she suffered some "losses" at the hands of Zhao Xi. Not to mention being naked, her body was also touched by him. Zhao Xi is her daughter after all, so what's missing?

The most important thing is that it is precisely because of this that Baochai does not feel ashamed of Zhao Xi's behavior. After all, this is an intimate behavior between daughters, and there will be no problems. In this era, even if he sees his daughters rubbing their hair together,

, then no one will care.

After a pause, Baochai Xun blushed and whispered: "Princess, sexual intercourse between men and women is in accordance with the law of heaven, and the taste of it cannot be explained by humans."

Baochai knew that Zhao Xi was biased against men, and Zhao Xi would marry into the Jia family like Baochai. For the princess's happiness, Baochai boldly made it clear to Zhao Xi, hoping that Zhao Xi would be like him after marrying into the Jia family.

Like a normal wife, this would be good for everyone, so Baochai patiently tried to persuade her.

Zhao Xi looked suspicious. When he saw Baochai before, he felt that Baochai was different from before and seemed to be more radiant. Now he saw that Baochai seemed to highly admire the relationship between men and women, and he became even more confused. Could it be said that there would be more differences between men and women?

Not happy?

As if he was thinking about something, Zhao Xi looked disgusted and shook his head to clear the thoughts in his mind. Then he put his hand on the back of Baochai's hand and said softly: "Never mind this, you are feeling unwell.

Why don't you go see a female doctor?"

There are also female doctors in the palace. Since women are not allowed to be officials, the position of imperial doctor cannot be granted to women by foreign imperial establishments such as the Imperial Physician Order, but they will also have corresponding appointment mechanisms.

Baochai shook his head and said: "Princess, there is no need to trouble the female doctor. I am fine."

I know my body, and there is nothing serious. It's just that it's the first time I've endured a load that shouldn't be endured at this age, so I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after a few days of training.

Zhao Xi felt uneasy after hearing this and said, "How about you take off your clothes and I'll help you take a look..."

"No need..." Baochai hurriedly refused with a blushing face after hearing this. If Zhao Xi is allowed to see this, he must not take a closer look...

Zhao Xi was worried about Baochai, but he didn't care about it. Being naked was not something he had never done before. He didn't allow Baochai to refuse, so he got up and pulled Baochai inside...

............................

Ning Guogong Mansion, front hall.

Jia Yun sat in the main seat in the hall, and below him was Jia Dairu, who was invited by Jia Yun. As for why he invited Jia Dairu, it was naturally for the purpose of asking for his fourth-fang title.

"Master, could you please come in person? It's my fault."

Since he "asks for others", Jia Yun should naturally be polite, and the seniority of Jia Dairu is indeed Jia Yun's grandfather.

Jia Dairu was accustomed to Jia Yun's politeness. After all, in the eyes of these people, Jia Yun was a man who respected his elders. When meeting them every day, he would not care about his status as a clan leader. He also took great care of his clan members and distributed public property to them to make a living.

, and improve the clan culture, such a clan leader has indeed gradually entered the hearts of the clan members.

"The patriarch's words are serious. You are the leader of the clan and you should be like this." Jia Dairu replied, stroking his white beard.

Jia Yun smiled and nodded, as if what they, the elders of the branch, generally want is face, and Jia Yun will give them enough face. As long as these people are not fools, they will naturally not go against Jia Yun, so Jia Yun

Treating each other with courtesy will not only win praise from "outsiders", but it will also help the clan members to return to their hearts. Why doesn't Jia Yun do something that can be done with just a little effort?

Of course, Jia Yun was not used to those who relied on their elders and betrayed them. After all, the patriarch's authority was in his hands, and he dealt with them impartially, and no one else could say anything about them.

After a pause, Jia Yun said bluntly: "Master, I invited you here today because of the fourth house. Now that there is no one to inherit the fourth house, it is only right to find a descendant of the same clan to pass the house."

Hearing Jia Yun's words, Jia Dairu thought of his deceased only grandson, and couldn't help but feel sad. He groaned and said melancholy: "I'd like to worry about the patriarch, but recently an old man in the clan has found a good son.

I am about to ask the clan leader to give a testimony."

Jia Yun didn't care who Jia Dairu wanted to marry him, he wanted the name of the fourth wife, so Jia Yun said bluntly: "Master, you also know that I am a straight-tempered person, and I don't hide anything in my heart. Today, I am looking for the master."

I have something to ask for."

When Jia Dairu saw that Jia Yun said that he had something to ask of me, he immediately said seriously: "Chief, please don't say that. If you have something to do, you can just give me an order. There is no need to ask for anything."

For Jia Yun, sometimes he just likes clan members who are as pedantic as Jia Zheng and Jia Dairu. After all, he is the clan leader now, and such pedantic people are relatively reliable. However, sometimes Jia Yun also annoys people like them because they

If you are too pedantic, you will not be able to turn your thoughts around. There are pros and cons, but there is no need to be harsh.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun said, "I wonder if the Grand Master ever knew about Aunt Xue's trial marriage to a maid for Princess Leping?"

Jia Dairu frowned when he heard this and said in surprise: "The daughter of the Xue family is a trial marriage maid, how is this possible?"

The fact that Baochai was Zhao Xi's trial marriage maid is now known to the Daming Palace, Jia Yun and others, but it has not spread yet, so Jia Dairu does not know about it. Jia Yun immediately explained the matter briefly to Jia Dairu.

Jia Dairu looked stunned after hearing this. Although the Xue family is an imperial merchant, it is also a well-known family. Their direct daughter is a princess's trial marriage maid. This is definitely a source of gossip for others after dinner. Moreover, the Jia family and the Xue family are family friends. Jia Yun is also a party involved, so there is no doubt that the Jia family will also become the laughing matter of others.

Jia Yun explained the matter to Jia Dairu in detail because no one would agree to ask for the title of the fourth house of others without any reason. But for a pedantic old man like Jia Dairu, he can only show his affection and move him. Reason.

As for using the identity of the clan leader to impose pressure, it is completely unnecessary for Jia Yun.

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, Jia Yun immediately said: "Master, Auntie Xue will stay in the Jia Mansion without any name or status in the future, and neither family will get good things. So I thought that the master has no one in the four houses, so why not let me take care of the family?" , this can also give Aunt Xue a status, and no one else can say anything."

After hearing this, Jia Dairu understood what Jia Yun meant. No wonder Jia Yun was looking for him today because it was because of the title of the Fourth Fang.

To be honest, Jia Dairu was very reluctant, because Jia Yun had already shared seven bedrooms, and now he wanted to share four bedrooms, which was obviously against the rules. But what Jia Yun said was right. This was for the sake of the face of the Jia family and the Xue family. came up with a solution.

Jia Dairu looked troubled, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Brother Yun, I'm afraid it's against the rules. You also know that Rui'er also has to marry to observe filial piety. If the name of the fourth family is gone, how can the clan members be willing to marry. "

The only grandson of Si Fang, Jia Rui, passed away. According to the rules, he had to find someone as soon as possible. One was to inherit Si Fang, and the other was to maintain filial piety for Jia Rui.

Although they are both members of the same tribe, who would be willing to let their children have a marriage if it is not beneficial?

Jia Yun's face did not change when he heard this, and he said: "Don't worry, old man. I only need the name of Si Fang, and I won't touch any of his family property. I will take it upon myself to find the younger members of the clan to keep filial piety for Uncle Rui. Except that he has not inherited the name of Si Fang." First, I will buy another rich family property, which will be used as my compensation."

Hearing Jia Yun's words, Jia Dairu understood that Jia Yun was fully prepared.

At this time, Jia Dairu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. When Jia Yun saw this, he said: "Master, there is nothing to worry about. If you have any concerns, I haven't mentioned it. As for the matter of Aunt Xue's family, I will try to find other rooms."

Jia Yun is not worried about the issue of dual-family residence. Even if Jia Dairu does not agree, he can still look for other houses. The Jia family has eight houses in Beijing. After a hundred years, except for the two eldest houses of Ning Rong, they still maintain a wealthy life. Most of the people living in the few houses live a mediocre life, and can't even live a living. If Jia Yun tries to lure them with benefits, there will always be someone who can't bear to agree. As for why Jia Yun likes Jia Dairu's fourth house, it's because there happens to be no one in the fourth house. .
