"Hehe,
So what if I have such a hobby? Are only men allowed to like young and beautiful gigolos? "Xia Lu looked at Jia Zhen with a fake smile,
She thought about the introduction of Jia Zhen in the book,
It was obvious that men and women were not restricted,
And Jia Baoyu, Qin Zhong, and Jiang Yuhan, had no moral integrity,
And he still had the nerve to talk about her.
"That's someone else,
I don't like men, "Jia Zhen pursed his lips. He also had some friends who liked to walk the road,
But he didn't like them,
He always felt that they were very dirty.
"Hehe," Xia Lu sneered. You don't like men? Who are you lying to?
Jia Zhen felt wronged,
He clearly didn't like men.
"Let's not talk about this anymore,
Tell me, when are you going to take me to Jiangnan to play, "Xia Lu still didn't give up on going to Jiangnan. She first wanted to investigate what the cosmetics in Jiangnan were like,
As for why she wanted to go to Jiangnan to investigate,
Because Jiangnan was famous, such as Yangzhou's skinny horses,
By the Qinhuai River,
Where men squandered money.
"No," Jia Zhen shook his head,
There were so many beauties in Jiangnan,
This woman also had that kind of hobby,
What if she couldn't bring them back after she went out? Jia Zhen felt that he was a little cuckolded. He wondered if he should change all the maids in the courtyard to those who were not very beautiful.
"Are you really not going to take me?" Xia Lu looked at Jia Zhen and bent down to look at him. The two of them looked at each other.
"Definitely not." Jia Zhen shook his head and was determined not to take her.
"Then forget it." Xia Lu sat up straight and planned to give up. Xia Lu calculated the time. When would she be able to manage Ningguo Province? It seemed that she had to wait until her mother-in-law died. When did her mother-in-law die? It seemed that she had died after giving birth to Xichun. Xia Lu's mother-in-law was already in her thirties, so there were still at least ten years before Xichun was born. Giving birth to a child in her forties was quite dangerous even in modern times, let alone in ancient times where medical standards were not very good. Xia Lu felt that he could still afford to wait.
As for saving her mother-in-law's life, Xia Lu felt that she didn't have the ability to do so. Even if she had the ability, she probably wouldn't do it. First of all, the main reason for her mother-in-law's death was because she was overage and had a child. In ancient times, it was important to have more children. Since she was pregnant, she definitely had to give birth. As a daughter-in-law, what did she mean by stopping her mother-in-law from having a child? Was it because she felt that it was dangerous for her mother-in-law, or was she afraid that her mother-in-law would give birth to another child to divide the family property?
Secondly, looking at the previous three concubines, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a big problem even in modern times. Even if she could tolerate it, she hoped that it wouldn't last for too long. Even Jia Zheng's daughter-in-law was from the Jia Wang Clan. When Mother Jia was alive, the second branch could take advantage of her. However, she felt that the Jia Wang Clan would also wish for Mother Jia to die more than once.
Thirdly, which was the most important point, was how to protect Ningguo Province. After all, she was reborn, so she knew the plot very well. If Ningguo Province wasn't in her hands, the final ending of Ningguo Province would still be the same as in the novel. She would be in her thirties or forties at that time. How tragic would it be if she was suddenly exiled? She still wanted to live a good and prosperous life. She didn't want to live a miserable life in her old age.
Therefore, she set herself a goal not to take the initiative to frame her mother-in-law. However, she wouldn't save her mother-in-law like a saint either. Whether it was for her own ambition or to avoid being exiled in the future, she had to hold the ultimate power of being in charge of Ningguo Province tightly in her hands.
"You really don't want to go?" Jia Zhen was suspicious. Why didn't he believe her?
"No, it's the same in the mansion," Xia Lu said in her heart. She could first research the cosmetics in Ningguo Province and then compare them with the cosmetics in Jiangnan.
Jia Zhen was frightened. Was she going to make a move on the girls in the Women's Middle School? "No way. It's said that rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows. How can you make a move on the girls in the mansion?" Jia Zhen felt that the color on his head had turned even greener. Should he ask Madam to change the girls in the Sakura Temple now? Those good-looking girls were not allowed to appear in front of Xia Clan.
"Yes, so you have to watch me carefully. You don't know when I will make a move." Xia Lu rolled her eyes fiercely. She had two words in her heart: Idiot. Such a man, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, was actually caught by Madam You. Evil people needed to be dealt with by evil people. You just needed to be more evil than him.
"You … you really, really can't help but reveal your true nature. No, I have to ask Madam to transfer all the girls in the courtyard away. This, this is too scary." Jia Zhen couldn't stay calm anymore. "Don't bother.
If you do, Madam will scold you again. As long as you behave well, I won't touch those girls. If you try to be a demon, I will make you wear a green hat. Anyway, I don't like men. Madam will only think that you are framing her. "Xia Lu patted Jia Zhen's face and thought that it was good to let this guy misunderstand.
Jia Zhen pursed his lips and felt that he was in a tragedy again. He turned his head and didn't look at Xia Lu. Tears instantly rolled down from his eyes. Madam, what kind of wife did you find for me? She is violent, likes women, eats a lot, and is very two-faced. Your son's head has turned green, but your son can't do anything to this woman.
Seeing that Jia Zhen was silent, Xia Lu didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, she walked out of the bedroom and went to the outer hall. She asked the girl to bring the Sakura Temple's account book. After all, her mother-in-law had ordered that she would be in charge of the Sakura Temple in the future. Therefore, she still wanted to know the current situation of the Sakura Temple.
After Xia Lu left, Jia Zhen felt bored again and called Xia Lu back.
"What's wrong?" She went back to the bedroom and looked at Jia Zhen.
"I'm bored," Jia Zhen said.
"Then read." Looking at it from another perspective, it was indeed very boring to lie in bed like this and not go anywhere. Moreover, there was no mobile phone or computer here. Neither could he eat chicken or play League of Legends. There was also no TV series to pass the time. It was indeed very tragic.
"I don't want to read." Jia Zhen shook his head. The books that the girl brought him were all about the Analects of Confucius. He really didn't like these books.
"Then I'll tell you a story?" Xia Lu thought for a while and said.
"Sure. I didn't expect you to be a storyteller." Jia Zhen's eyes lit up.
Xia Lu told Jia Zhen "The Little Prince." Of course, the Little Prince was changed and told in a language that Jia Zhen could understand. Xia Lu spoke very slowly, but Jia Zhen listened very carefully. To be honest, he had heard stories told by storytellers before, but they were somewhat different from this story. Storytellers would talk about what the emperor or high-ranking officials did for the people and what kind of favor the people received. They would also talk about some stories. However, he felt that the story that Xia Clan told him was completely different from what he had heard before.
"What's next?" After Xia Lu finished telling the story about the fox, she stopped. Jia Zhen opened his eyes wide and began to ask for the next part of the story.
"We'll talk about the next part tomorrow. That's all for today." Xia Lu walked to the front of the table and picked up the account book that Xiao Cui had brought over when she was telling the story to Jia Zhen. She looked at it carefully.
"Stingy. You're just like those storytellers outside. You like to keep people in suspense." Jia Zhen was very dissatisfied.
"Those storytellers? You're so powerful. You can catch them in the mansion and tell them to tell you stories. "Xia Lu sneered.
"Am I that kind of person? Why would I do that kind of thing?" Jia Zhen was very dissatisfied. He always felt that in the eyes of Xia Clan, he was an ignorant and incompetent playboy. Obviously, he was very motivated, okay? He never bullied others outside because he was from Ningguo Province. Thinking about the children of other noble families who were always arrogant, he was very low-key.
"Okay, okay. You're not that kind of person. You're the best." Xia Lu said perfunctorily. She looked at the account book carefully. As she looked at it, Xia Lu frowned. Xia Lu, who had graduated from accounting and passed the CPA exam, found that these accounts were not only problematic, but also very problematic.
"What's wrong?" Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu's frown and asked in confusion.
"Who was in charge of the Sakura Temple in the past?" The Sakura Temple's account book was not very big. After all, it had only been half a year since the Xia family moved out of the Sakura Temple and Jia Zhen moved into the Sakura Temple. However, in just half a year, the account book problem had become so serious. Xia Lu was even more curious about how serious the problem was with the account book of the entire mansion in Ningguo Province.
"Hong Xiu," Jia Zhen said.
"She doesn't live in the Sakura Temple, right? Why is she in charge of the Sakura Temple's account book? "Xia Lu began to fish for information.
"Isn't she my concubine? When I moved in, they naturally had to move in. However, you hadn't married into the family at that time. I thought that after you married into the family, they would move in. So, I let her manage the Sakura Temple first. When you married into the family, I would hand it over to you. What's wrong? Is there a big problem? "Jia Zhen saw Xia Lu's frown and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not sure if there's a problem. I'll ask Madam tomorrow to confirm it." Xia Lu naturally wouldn't reveal her ability to read the account book. After all, she came from a small family. Naturally, she hadn't been taught such advanced skills. In order to maintain her image, some skills had to be revealed slowly.
"Hong Xiu is still a good person. How could her account book be wrong?" Jia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Hong Xiu had been with him for a long time. He usually rewarded her a lot. Naturally, she wouldn't be greedy for small profits. When Xia Clan frowned and looked at the account book just now, he thought that Hong Xiu really did something. It turned out that Xia Clan didn't understand the account book.
