Chapter 459
The next day, Jia Amnesty brought Mrs. Zhang and Jia Hu over, and Erfang was a family of four.After they paid their respects, Jia's mother sent Wang and the three children away, and asked the two brothers to continue copying the accounts as they did yesterday.But he arranged tables and chairs for Mrs. Zhang, and copied the gift list for the Rongguo Mansion.
When Jia She saw his mother's arrangement, if it wasn't for Jia Zheng's presence, he would have knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.Copying the account books in my own hands for three years is not as good as copying the gift list for one year.He took a deep breath, and automatically and consciously squatted on horseback to copy the gift slip, and the tortoise shell followed him, changing the account book for him back and forth.
Jia Zheng saw that his elder brother was calm, coupled with the stimulation of his father's questioning last night, when copying the account book today, he became more careful, and when he encountered something inappropriate, he learned from Jia She and wrote it down separately.The daughter-in-law who came to ask for instructions on housework saw that the uncle, grandma, and second master were all copying old accounts over the years, and felt like a little rabbit in her heart, feeling uneasy.
Rongguo Mansion has its own rules for what to do in what season.These daughter-in-laws who were in charge quickly dispersed after they had no special matters to ask for advice after Jiamu's appointment.
In the morning, Mrs. Wendinghou sent her mother-in-law to say hello and report, saying that Jia Min no longer had morning sickness, and she ate very well last night and this morning, please rest assured.He also said that Jia Min wanted to eat in the house, and asked if he could have a daughter-in-law who could make snacks on the stove for a few days.
Mother Jia received the seasonal snacks from the Lin family, asked the maid to take the mother-in-law who had sent the letter down to drink tea, and ordered Mrs. Zhang to immediately compare the Lin family's gifts, draw up a suitable gift list, and prepare to return the gifts.Then ask someone to call the daughter-in-law who is good at doing white cases on the stove, and tell her to go to Lin's mansion to serve the aunt for a few days.
At noon, Mother Jia drove away her son and daughter-in-law to eat by herself as usual.Jia Amnesty and Zhang's attitude towards Jia's mother are even more respectful.
"Mother and son serve you meals." Jia She said with a salivating face.
Mother Jia saw that Jia Amnesty's expression was not fake, so she left him and his wife.
After lunch, Mother Jia said to Jia Amnesty, "Enhou, take your daughter-in-law to see the Tai Tuo when you are free."
Mrs. Zhang quickly stood up and thanked her.
Mother Jia waved her hand and said, "The Tai Tuo has taught your husband for many years. If you teach well, others will say you should. But if there is anything wrong with being a student, the Duke of the State will not say it, and he will blame the Tai Tuo for not teaching him. good."
Mrs. Zhang just stood there in a daze. How can people take what her mother-in-law said?
She could only bite the bullet and say: "My husband is excellent in everything, there is nothing wrong with it."
Jia's mother looked at Jia She carefully, and Jia She looked a little scared, "Mother, what's wrong with my son?"
"Enhou, you are the eldest son. You have become a father, and you are always angry with your younger brother. Is it enough to be a family member? If Hu'er is this age, it will be about the same. But look at how Hu'er stayed last night. Zhu'er, that's the attitude the eldest son and grandson should have towards their brothers. Think about it, don't you?"
Jia Mu spoke very slowly, Jia Amnesty listened to her heart, slowly blushed, stood up and saluted.
"Mother, my son has done wrong in the past. Never again."
"You are just in a daze. Your father, like the saint, abides by the etiquette. You were taught by the heir of the Duke's mansion, and the second child was raised by an ordinary son. The saint gave you the name Enhou. If your father If you can live to be 80 years old, you will be Lord Marquis after 60 years old, so what kind of grievances are going to happen to you?"
"Mother, son," Jia She quickly knelt down, "Mother, my son hopes that you and your father will live a long life. Even if you are 80 years old and then become a prince, my son is also willing."
"What's yours will be yours sooner or later. Don't worry."
"Yes." Jia Amnesty answered with a bow.
"Get up, go back and hold down all the stewards in your yard. The steward whoever your father orders will take over. If the stewards in the mansion do not do well, you can talk to your father about the matter. Your elders will see you soon." People who have passed away your father should have more etiquette."
"Mother," Jia She opened his mouth to speak, Zhang Shi pulled her sleeve, Jia She immediately changed his words and said, "Mother taught, son remembers."
"Okay, you go back and rest for a while, and come back in the afternoon."
When the couple returned to their yard, Mrs. Zhang whispered in Jia She's ear: "What mother said is very strange. The internal and external stewards of our yard haven't even got involved with the affairs of the mansion. Is it related to the big steward?"
Jia Amnesty thought and thought, and patted Mrs. Zhang on the shoulder, "You go back to the house and rest for a while, and you have to go to your mother in the afternoon. I have something to do in the study."
On the holiday, Jia She got permission from Jia Mu to take his daughter-in-law to Zhang Mansion. The couple took their children to the room first to greet Jia Daishan and Jia Mu. Let the Taifu take a look before letting the three of them go out.
After his son and daughter-in-law went out, Jia Daishan asked: "Ma'am, it's hard to keep Xi'er at home for a few days. If he goes out, he might go to the East Palace again. It's better to keep him at home."
"He is in his 20s, and he used to live in the East Palace every day. Now he won't go there all of a sudden. The Duke is not afraid that the prince will be suspicious..."
"Uh?"
Jia Daishan choked for a moment, "Ma'am is right."
He rubbed the center of his brows, feeling anxious about the growing tension between the subjects of the Eastern Palace and the courtiers.
"My lord, what's the matter?"
Seeing Jia Daishan's more obvious anxiety than the previous few days, Jia's mother felt that this generation of important and loyal ministers is really restless.
"Oh, you don't understand. It's all about the imperial court's intrigue and power struggle."
Jia Daishan prevaricated, wanted to go back to the study to be quiet, and was greedy for the fragrant tea made by his wife.He watched intently as his wife slowly poured boiling water into the pot at high speed, stirring up the tea leaves to swirl, and the fragrance of the tea wafted up.
He sniffled and said, "The tea brewed by Madam has a special sweetness and aroma."
Mother Jia smiled and handed over a cup.
"The same tea, the same water. The Duke said that the tea I brewed was delicious because he was partial to me. I hated me that day. Even if I made dragon liver and phoenix gall for you, it might not be good in return."
Jia Daishan blew on the hot tea, sniffed the fragrance of the tea, took a deep breath contentedly, and praised: "Good tea." Then he handed the empty cup to Jiamu.
"Ma'am, you and I have been together for most of my life, old couple, why don't you worry?"
Mother Jia poured another half a cup of tea soup for Jia Daishan, "There are too many things to worry about. These years, every winter, you are getting more and more afraid of the cold. Don't you think I don't know?"
Jia Daishan smiled awkwardly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Madam's eyes."
"It's better to find a doctor to take a good look."
Jia Daishan shook his head: "It's not right. Ordinary imperial physicians and doctors will think it's cold poison. If they don't know it, how can they get rid of the root. This is an old wound, and the residual poison is not cleared."
"How long does the Duke of the country think he can resist like this? Twenty years? Ten years?" Mother Jia remained calm, as if the matter she was asking was an insignificant matter that had nothing to do with her.
Jia Daishan was silent for a long time, and then Fang said shyly, "Madam, I, Jia Daishan, have been sorry to Madam you in this life, and I will repay you in my next life even if I tie a knot with grass."
Mother Jia used the teapot once, and said with a serious face, "Teacher Zhang will be appointed soon, do you think the boss will be taken care of in the future?"
"A sage will always miss old love." Jia Daishan looked at his wife with a serious face, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Pointing to the saint? How about our son-in-law? If you don't mention him, has the saint asked you a question in the past seven or eight years? How far is the relationship between Marquis Wending and the saint from you?"
Jia Daishan was speechless.
"Master Guo, you know what the two sons are like. The eldest is devoted to the East Palace. The second son has not yet opened up, and the son-in-law has only entered the officialdom. It is the uncle of the eldest brother, who is the imperial censor Zhongcheng. If you want to let go, these children can There is no one to rely on. If you don’t get swallowed alive, it won’t be much better. I’m afraid we won’t even have a priest in the future.”
Mother Jia bowed her head sadly.
"Why, ma'am, what is the point? You think too much."
Jia Daishan dryly comforted his wife, seeing that Shi Shi still did not look up, he was silent for a while, determined to tell Shi Shi the truth.
"Ma'am, it's not because my husband doesn't want to heal. One is that it is difficult to find Xinglin masters; the other is that I am worried about the saint. My Rongguo Mansion has held military power for too long, and the saint knows that I don't want to take it back. If I might walk behind the saint, I'm afraid Before the sage died, he had to rob Rongguo Mansion first."
"I still think so far! If a saint can live to be seven or eighty years old, if you don't visit a famous doctor to get rid of the cold poison, you can't even live to be 80 years old. Wouldn't it be a great loss?"
Jia Daishan thought to himself, alas, I really lost my mind, and said these things to women and Taoists.Look, what she cares about now is whether to lose or lose.
Seeing Duke Rong's expression of disapproval, Mother Jia said slowly, "The Duke only looked at the Beijing Palace, what it would look like without military power. It is still the hereditary title of county king. Husband just gave up, Hu In the future, I may not be able to reach the East Mansion."
Hu'er may not be able to make it to the East Mansion in the future.These words pierced Jia Daishan's heart like a sharp arrow.Dongfu has been in front of Rongfu for so many years.But since his cousin left, although he has supported Jinger in every possible way, but...just ask any of the four kings and eight kilometers, who knows that Jia Amnesty's future is higher than Jia Jing's.
Jia Daishan covered his face with his hands in pain, not knowing what to do.
Rong Guogong and his wife were thinking hard in the mansion to plan for a living in the future.And Jia She, who finally got the opportunity to show off, sent his wife to the door of Yue's house, patted the car window and said, "Yizhen, I'm going to the East Palace, and I'll pick you up and Hu'er in the evening."
Zhang's low voice "Okay" came from inside the car.
Jia Hu lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Father, go to the meeting early."
Jia Amnesty looked at his son who looked like an adult, and nodded with a smile. When the carriage drove into Zhang's residence, he roared away with his entourage.
