Chapter 111
Xiujuan and Xiuli have been in the mansion since they entered the mansion. I don’t know how many rows of decent women and girls they have eaten in the second room. They have heard all kinds of lies, and they have never had a face from Mrs. Wang. Shangqing, finally came across such a joke, so naturally the news would not be leaked. After the two sisters talked in private, they waited to see how Mrs. Wang and the Xue family would end up.
Yingchun is a daughter's family who hasn't left the court, so it's not easy to talk about such things with others. Although there are girls in the house who can't help but talk behind their backs, they all know the seriousness of this matter in their hearts, and they don't dare to go around. Said that Xue Baochai casually helped Yingchun embroider two stitches on the sweat scarf cut for Jia Lian, and then fell silent. Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing Wang didn't even hear the wind.
As a result, Xue Baochai regretted her misbehavior after returning home. The next day, she came over to make fun of her, and when she quietly inquired about it, she found that the Jia family seemed to know nothing about it, and Yingchun was still gentle and silent. Then he let go of his worries and spoke freely.
The biggest thing in the Rongguo Mansion these days is to buy things for Jia Lian, the head of the family.Originally, according to Jia's mother's instruction, Yingchun and Tanchun prepared some seasonal clothes for Jia Lian and some pickled food that was unique to the house and could be stored. Unexpectedly, Wang'er was about to take the caravan out. The palace ushered in another angel in the palace.Yang Yuan's decree transferred Jia Lian from the Ministry of Industry to Yushitai to supervise the military taxation of a southeastern state, and the matter of participating in the performance went directly to Tianting.
This time, Xia Shouzhong, who had just been promoted to be the eunuch of Liugongdu, accompanied him, but he did not come in person, but picked his godson to come.Xia Shouzhong, who was able to coax him, was by his side. Naturally, this servant was also smart and sensible, and he didn't dare to take it too seriously.
Jia Amnesty shouted the emperor's grace, and when he got up, he stuffed a purse out and greeted the angel to drink tea with a smile. For dejected.
Mother Jia feels sorry for her second son, Mingzhu, who is dusty and depressed, but her most urgent task is to find someone to add to Jia Lian as soon as possible.With this imperial decree, Jia Lian must stay in the southeast until all matters are settled and people's livelihood is stable before returning to Beijing. At least it will take a year or two, so everything can no longer be as simple as before.
Regardless of the title, the Jia family has only produced such a high-ranking third-rank official in two generations, and it is predictable that he will be promoted step by step after returning to Beijing.
After instructing Mrs. Wang to serve Jia Zheng carefully, Jia's mother turned around and opened a private treasury to pick things for Jia Lian, and added and subtracted the list drawn up by Yingchun and Tanchun several times. It took more than ten days. The convoy in the mansion started again.Not to mention five or six more carts than before, there was also an extra blue-axle carriage, in which sat two iconic maids chosen by Jia's mother.
Before Wang'er left, the old lady forcefully stuffed these two hot potatoes, so she turned her head and hurriedly thought of a way to send the letter out, so as not to ask for another good beating in Jinfeng County.Thinking about the old lady repeatedly telling him to persuade the second master not to marry a daughter from a small family in the southeast, Wang'er wished he could jump into the sea halfway.
She thoughtfully prepared servants and various items for her grandson. After she was free, Mother Jia thought about the remaining grandchildren.
Jia Baoyu is her darling. She can't be negligent and can only look at each other slowly. Yingchun is only waiting for Jiji to marry into the He family and has a bright future. Jia's mother can't help but make some plans for Tanchun, who is the only one who hasn't settled yet.
Just got the news that the two noblemen Wu and Zhou in the palace had been promoted to the throne, so Jia's mother called Jia Zheng to talk.Since Jia Amnesty let Jia Lian, Jia Zheng didn't like to go out after being ill for a while, and there were few people going to the yamen. Mother and son met more often than before. I thought it was okay, just thinking that Jia's mother wanted to deceive people with empty words.
Mother Jia bypassed Mrs. Wang and spoke directly to Jia Zheng because she knew Mrs. Wang would obstruct the matter in order to control the concubine, but she didn't expect Jia Zheng to show hesitation after hearing her plan.
It's not that Jia Zheng didn't want Tanchun to enter the palace to serve His Majesty and be loyal to the country, but the disaster that Yuanchun caused before did make him somewhat afraid.When Yuan Chun was at home, he was also gentle and docile, which won his heart, but later on, he grew up to be a snake-hearted man, without virtue and talent. Tan Chun is a bit smart and intelligent at the moment, but if he also goes dirty, wouldn't it be a danger? parents and family.
Not to mention that what Jia's mother said meant that she wanted to act in the name of the family without telling Jia Lian, which made Jia Zheng feel a little uneasy.A person like Jia Lian who can figure out what he wants is noncommittal about Tanchun's entry into the palace, and Jia Zheng can't help but feel a little bit withdrawn from this matter.
Seeing that Jia Zheng was still looking forward and backward at this point, no matter how biased Jia Mu was, she would inevitably get a little angry. She didn't want to talk to him any more, and drove him away with a sullen face on the pretext of being tired.Jia Zheng never looked at people's faces. When Jia Mu said that he was tired, he took it seriously and went to the study to read, almost making Jia Mu angry.
It's just that Jia's mother's intention to send Tanchun into the palace leaked the news somehow, and it actually spread to Mrs. Wang's ears, making Mrs. Wang so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Immediately, Tanchun will be called to kneel on the Buddha for a whole day.
Mrs. Wang is depressed these days, and she is faintly worried and suspicious about her younger sister's family's lukewarm attitude towards her beloved son. How can she allow the concubine daughter who is pinched in her hand to climb on her head to enjoy the glory and wealth.
First she made a mistake at will, and punished Aunt Zhao, who couldn't hide three words in her stomach, to the Buddhist hall to clean up. Her natal sister-in-law helped her find a husband's family for Tanchun.
The candidates that Mrs. Wang Ziteng sent at the beginning were all good-natured and decent, worthy of the status of Miss Tanchun, but Mrs. Wang was thinking about how Yuanchun, who had been struggling for years in the Qingyin Nunnery, would let Tanchun get married as she wished. , I just sent word back that it was inappropriate.After going back and forth like this several times, Mrs. Wang Ziteng understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts, and when she searched again, she only mentioned some dilapidated families with nothing left but poor morals.
I don't know how Mrs. Wang chose it. From a dozen families, she immediately picked a wealthy family outside the city that Mrs. Wang Zisheng had intended to betroth Yuanchun to. It's like going down to the earth like the Wenqu star that the incompetent rotten gambler said.
