I have a role in the heavens

Chapter 2871 Jia’s mother is partial, Jia Huan asks for marriage

Above the city, Emperor Yuankang had received news that King Zhongshun and Duke Wu had a conflict. As soon as they separated, they were attacked by a tiger and his left shoulder was bitten. Even though the doctors tried their best to treat him, King Zhongshun's left hand was still disabled. Can't afford anything.

Emperor Yuankang's eyes shone brightly, his expression was deep and calm, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. He pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Dai Quan conveyed to me that Duke Wu was so magnanimous that he killed the tiger regardless of personal grudges, saved King Zhongshun, and rewarded him with a handle of jade Ruyi!"

"Here!"

Dai Quan bowed to accept the order and left in a hurry, preparing to read the oral edict of Emperor Yuankang.

Why didn't Emperor Yuan Kang understand Jia Chang's temperament? He had clear grievances and retribution, and he was definitely not a person who repaid evil with kindness.

After the Autumn Siege, everything was calm. Only King Zhongshun was depressed. He was extremely ambitious and coveted the throne. Now his left hand was disabled and his body was disabled. He no longer had the hope of becoming the Nine-Five Supreme Being. He drank and had fun all day long, drunkenly and dreamily, and was severely affected. Big hit.

After Emperor Taizhen learned that King Zhongshun's left hand was disabled, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said with emotion.

"It's okay to destroy it, that way you can save your life!"

Obviously, Emperor Taizhen had already anticipated the fate of King Zhongshun. It was impossible for him to depose Emperor Yuankang and establish a new king. On the one hand, Emperor Yuankang's power was already established, and on the other hand, Daqian could not withstand such a torment. In this way, after Emperor Taizhen's funeral, Emperor Yuankang would definitely not be able to tolerate King Zhongshun and would definitely kill him.

Now that King Zhongshun has become useless, there is no threat to Emperor Yuankang. As long as King Zhongshun himself does not commit suicide, in order to show the royal family affection and the emperor's benevolence, Emperor Yuankang should not kill King Zhongshun again.

However, after Jia Chang and Lin Daiyu got engaged, Jia's mother also began to worry about Jia Baoyu's marriage. She also inquired about many famous ladies and wealthy families, but none of them were interested in Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu had a good reputation and had long been in bad taste. On the street, who doesn’t know that the young man born with a jade in the Rongguo Mansion doesn’t like reading, despises the articles of saints and economic career, and likes to hang out in the back house. He is romantic and passionate, but he is just a dandy and a idler.

No good person in the world is willing to marry his daughter to such a waste, but many people have inquired about Jia Huan. At a young age, he is already a fifth-grade military general. He is on duty in Qianqing Palace and is favored by His Majesty. In the future, His future is guaranteed, and he doesn't mind Jia Huan's status as a concubine.

After all, it is obvious to all that the concubine of Rongguo Mansion is outstanding. Duke Jia Chang of the Kingdom of Wu was also born as a concubine of Rongguo Mansion, with brilliant military exploits and a respected status.

If it hadn't been for the engagement between Jia Chang, Duke of Wu, and Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Civil Service, their daughter, these famous families would have passed through the gates of Rongguo Mansion long ago.

Mother Jia did not expect that Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg she valued most, did not like her. Instead, she favored Jia Huan, whom she despised. In a fit of anger, she rejected them all, which made Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan very angry. , among these people, there are many ladies from well-known families, whose appearance, talents and knowledge are all good choices, which will be of great help to Jia Huan in the future.

It's just that Jia Mu's status is respected in Rongguo Mansion. Even if she is biased and confused, Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao are unable to resist. They can only hold it in their hearts and dare not say anything.

Depressed, Jia Huan came to Wu Guogong Mansion again and confided his troubles to Jia Chang.

"Although I have known since I was a child that the old lady looks down on me, I never thought that she was so partial. Those famous families looked down on Jia Baoyu. What does it have to do with me? She actually got angry and ruined all my good marriages. Yes, what should I do in the future?"

Jia Chang frowned slightly. What Jia Mu did was really chilling. She rejected all the famous families who liked Jia Huan. How can Jia Huan marry a good wife in the future? This is going to ruin Jia Huan's good marriage. .

"The old lady has been partial for a day or two. Now that I am the Duke of Wu, doesn't she not like to see me? Every time I go, she is always picky and picky!"

"Only Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, is the old lady's heart and soul. The rest of the people together are not as important as Jia Baoyu's little fingernail!"

Jia Chang took a sip of tea and said casually that he had no expectations for Jia Mu for a long time. Since the last time, Jia Mu wanted to cancel the engagement between him and Lin Daiyu, he had only been superficial with Jia Mu. .

"She didn't just do this to you, she also wanted to ruin my marriage last time!"

Jia Huan sighed, everyone said that having an old man in a family is like having a treasure, but Jia Mu was different. She was very partial, which had a bad impact on Rongguo Mansion. The decline of the Jia family had nothing to do with her!

"I'm different from you. You are the Duke of the country. Even the old lady can't control you. I'm still living in Rongguo Mansion. How can I resist the old lady? I can only let her control the marriage. I can't do it. If you don’t get the master, don’t even think about having a good marriage!”

Jia Huan's face was full of slump, with a bit of complaint in his eyes, and he was in a low mood. He lay on the table and said feebly.

Jia Chang lowered his head and thought. No matter what he said, Jia Huan was still someone he cultivated. It would be inappropriate to let Jia Mu do whatever she wanted. He pondered for a moment and said hesitantly.

"Now that you are the daughter of a famous family, there is no hope for you. The most important thing for these people is face, and they have all been rejected by the old lady. They will not beg for nothing to marry you, and they cannot afford to lose face!"

"However, I do have a good candidate. Although his family background is a bit poor, he is naturally intelligent, beautiful, decent in character, elegant in manners, and knowledgeable. He is not inferior to Sister Lin. What do you think?"

Jia Huan was stunned when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't have high requirements for his future wife's family background. When he heard that there was such an excellent candidate, he quickly straightened up from the table and approached Jia Chang. asked eagerly.

"Who is this person? I don't ask her to really compare with Sister Lin. As long as she has a bit of Sister Lin's style, I will be satisfied!"

Jia Huan is still self-aware. Lin Daiyu is like a fairy, with beautiful appearance and quick thinking. She is rare among women. There are not so many women in the world who can compare with her.

Jia Chang chuckled lightly, looked at the anxious Jia Huan, and spoke very seriously without beating around the bush.

"You don't have to doubt that what I said is true. Apart from her family background, this person is not inferior to Sister Lin in any other way!"

Jia Huan looked suspicious, as if he didn't believe Jia Chang's words.

"You have also seen this person. He is staying in the house now. He is the daughter of the Xue family, Xue Baochai!"

Faced with Jia Huan's doubts, Jia Chang spoke quickly and said a name that surprised Jia Huan.

Jia Huan was stunned when he heard this, and Xue Baochai's appearance came to mind. She was beautiful, elegant in manners, talented and learned, and indeed not inferior to Lin Daiyu.

"I'm afraid Sister Xue won't look down on a rough guy like me, so I think it's better to forget it!"

Jia Huan was ashamed of himself and retreated. He was a big boss, unlearned and unskilled, and unworthy of others!

"Don't belittle yourself. You were born in the Rongguo Mansion. Now you are on duty in the Qianqing Palace. You are a fifth-rank general. Your family background and future are good!"

"Although Xue Baochai is a talented and beautiful woman, she only comes from a merchant family. Her family is in decline and no one is an official. She needs to marry into a good family!"

"If you are interested, I will discuss it with the master and let him propose marriage to Aunt Xue. She will definitely not refuse!"

"No, no! I'm not good enough!"

Although Jia Huan was moved, he still felt inferior and waved his hands repeatedly, not daring to accept the matter.

"Since you are so worthless, forget it, why should I worry so much!"

Jia Chang glanced at Jia Huan, stopped pressing, and spoke.

Jia Huan was dumbfounded. No, can't you just hold on? You gave up persuading so quickly, what should I do?

How could Jia Huan's reaction be concealed from Jia Chang? He smiled secretly in his heart, kept a calm expression on his face, and spoke lightly.

"This is something you don't want to do, so you can only take advantage of Jia Baoyu!"

When Jia Huan heard this, he became anxious, his eyes turned red, and he asked quickly.

"What does this have to do with Jia Baoyu? Why is he everywhere?"

Jia Chang looked at Jia Huan who had taken the bait, took a leisurely sip of tea, and said slowly.

"But the daughter of a well-known family is not available, so the old lady can only settle for the next best thing. She wants to marry Xue Baochai for Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg. Just wait and see the good show!"

When Jia Huan heard this, he frowned and said angrily with an unconvinced expression.

"If Sister Xue marries that softie Jia Baoyu, she might as well marry me!"

"That's right, but if you don't want to, Xue Baochai may have no choice but to marry Jia Baoyu!"

Jia Chang sighed, shook his head slightly, and said with emotion with a pity expression.

"No, I don't agree. I want to marry Sister Xue!"

Jia Huan was indeed fooled. He slammed his big hand on the table with a loud noise, stood up and shouted loudly at Jia Chang.

"Okay, since you agree, I will go to the master to discuss it and settle the matter as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams and be disturbed by the old lady!"

When Jia Huan heard this, he didn't want to stay here anymore. He picked up Jia Chang and went to Rongguo Mansion, extremely anxious.

Rongxi Hall, since Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall in the backyard, has been much calmer than before, and Jia Zheng mostly went to Aunt Zhao's place to rest.

In the study, Jia Chang and Jia Zheng were sitting at the top, and Jia Huan was sitting at the bottom, looking directly at the two of them.

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Huan in confusion, wondering why he was so strange today, then looked at Jia Chang and asked.

"You two brothers came to see me together today, but you have something to say?"

"Sir, Brother Huan is already quite old. Now I have decided to get married. Baoyu also has an old lady to worry about. Now only Brother Huan has not found a place yet, so you can only make the decision!"

Jia Chang said to Jia Zheng with a bit of sigh on his face.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he immediately understood the purpose of the two people's visit. Looking at the anxious Jia Huan, he asked thoughtfully.

"Which girl have you fallen in love with? You are so anxious to tell me that your father will go to propose marriage for you!"

Jia Zheng also understood now that Jia Baoyu could not be counted on, and he could only raise a toy to coax the old lady. As a wealthy and idle man, he could only count on Jia Chang and Jia Huan in the future. Naturally, he was not interested in Jia Huan's marriage. It attaches great importance to.

When Jia Huan heard this, there was a look of joy on his face, but he was still a young man after all, and his face was a bit thin. He was embarrassed to directly say that he had fallen in love with Xue Baochai. He mumbled for a long time without saying anything, so he could only ask for help. Looked at Jia Chang.

Jia Chang hated Tie Bu Chenggang and glared at Jia Huan, then took over the conversation and spoke for him.

"Master, Brother Huan San has fallen in love with sister Xue family and wants to ask me to help propose marriage and make an engagement!"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. The Xue family's background was a bit low, but Xue Baochai did stand out. He thought for a moment and said.

"In terms of people, Huan'er is not worthy of Baochai, but the Xue family's family background is a bit lower, so it is suitable!"

"Since the master agrees, I also ask the master to discuss this matter with Aunt Xue as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and long dreams, and it will be too late when Sister Xue makes a marriage contract!"

Jia Chang showed a smile on his face and urged Jia Zheng to handle the matter quickly, lest the old lady find out about it and interfere with it, causing further trouble.

"Then I will discuss this matter with Aunt Xue tomorrow?"

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Chang hesitantly and said uncertainly.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Why do you have to wait until tomorrow? I think today is good!"

"While Third Brother Huan and I are here, let's invite Aunt Xue over directly to discuss this matter. If Aunt Xue has different ideas, I can also help!"

Jia Chang didn't want to delay it until tomorrow. He wanted to cut the knot quickly and finalize the matter directly without giving Jia Mu time to react.

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Chang suspiciously. Why did he feel that Jia Chang was more impatient than Jia Huan? This was not his marriage proposal, so why should he be so impatient?

"Just follow you!"

Although Jia Zheng didn't understand Jia Chang's thoughts, he still complied and asked someone to invite Aunt Xue to come.

Aunt Xue had the idea of ​​leaving Rongguo Mansion since Mrs. Wang was imprisoned in the Buddhist Hall. However, she could not resist Jia Mu and others' efforts to stay, so she continued to live in Rongguo Mansion.

Aunt Xue walked into the Rongxi Hall and saw Jia Chang and Jia Huan there. She felt a little surprised and said with a gentle smile on her face.

"Brother-in-law, you have something to discuss with me. It's so grand, Duke Wu Guo and Brother Huan are actually here!"

Aunt Xue is a smart person and does not hold grudge against Jia Chang because of Mrs. Wang's incident.

"Aunt Xue's words are too unfamiliar. I am a junior, so you should just call me by my name!"

Don't hit the smiling person with your hand. Aunt Xue is sensible and reasonable. Naturally, Jia Chang will not put on the airs of the Duke of the country, so he said very humbly.

"Then I'll ask you to call you Brother Chang?!"

The smile on Aunt Xue's face became even brighter, she stared at Jia Chang and said tentatively.

"We are all a family, so this title is natural. Brother Chang sounds much closer than Duke Wu!"

Jia Chang had a kind attitude, a light smile on his face, and said happily.

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Chang's attitude was so kind, which meant that what Jia Zheng wanted to discuss with her was not a bad thing.

When Aunt Xue sat down, Jia Zheng thought about his words before speaking.

"I came to see you today because there is something I need to discuss with you!"

"Now I have three sons. Chang'er has already made an engagement, Baoyu has an old lady to worry about, and only Huan'er is left, and he is still unaccompanied!"

When Jia Zheng said this, he paused, giving Aunt Xue time to think, took a sip of tea, and then spoke again.

"Huan'er was originally a person who didn't live up to his expectations, cheating, gambling and drinking. He was annoying!"

When Jia Huan heard this, a look of shame appeared on his face, he curled up, lowered his head, and said in shame.

"Master, stop talking, I'm so embarrassed!"

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Huan and saw that he looked ashamed. He nodded happily and continued to speak to Aunt Xue, who looked slightly moved.

"Fortunately, Chang'er Renyi was willing to support him, teach him martial arts, and arranged for him to join the Yulin Guards, so that he could turn back his prodigal son and change his ways. Now he is on duty in Qianqing Palace and has become a fifth-grade general, which can be regarded as a minor Accomplished!"

"Now that Huan'er is getting older, it's time to make a marriage decision. He has fallen in love with Baochai and wants me to help propose marriage. What do you think?"

After Aunt Xue heard half of it, she knew what Jia Zhen was doing today. After thinking about it carefully for a moment, although Jia Huan was not as handsome as Baoyu, and his talents and knowledge were shallow, she could not stop him from making progress. Now he is a fifth-grade general with military virtue. , in the future, even if you are conservative, you can become a third-grade military general with a bright future, and you will have a good marriage, enough to be worthy of your own daughter.

After weighing the pros and cons, Aunt Xue no longer hesitated, nodded and said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, I also know Brother Huan very well. This matter can be said to be a close relationship, so of course I have no objection!"

Seeing that Aunt Xue was so happy and decisive, Jia Zheng said.

"In this case, I will send someone to propose marriage tomorrow, make an engagement, and send the marriage certificate. We will slowly prepare other things. What do you think?"

Aunt Xue was very satisfied with Jia Zheng's attitude, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile.

"Of course you can!"

After the matter was discussed, Aunt Xue left Rongxi Hall and went back to talk to Xue Baochai about the matter.

Xue Baochai was still a little resistant. Her impression of Jia Huan was not good and she still stayed in the past.

It happened that Xue Pan came back from drinking outside and was very drunk. When he heard that Jia Huan wanted to marry his sister, he repeatedly expressed his approval and shouted loudly.

"Today is different from the past. What is so good about Jia Baoyu? He is romantic, cowardly and incompetent. He does not do his job properly and despises economic and official career. He is just a wealthy idler and a libertine. He is no better than me!"

Xue Pan is quite self-aware, and he also knows that he is not a thing, he is a reckless bastard, and he does not seek to make progress.

"Although Jia Huan is the bastard of Rongguo Mansion, who doesn't know that the bastard of my uncle's family is the most promising? Duke Wu is such a hero, isn't he also a bastard?"

"Now Jia Huan is so powerful. I heard Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu, mention it. Now Jia Huan is on duty in front of the emperor. He is ranked fifth. He is deeply trusted and his future prospects are limitless!"

"Sister, you have to think carefully. Jia Baoyu is extremely unbearable and is far less reliable than Jia Huan!"

When Xue Baochai heard these words, she thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out. From the incident of Jinchuan'er, she felt that Jia Baoyu did not have the responsibility of a man and was unreliable.

"Mother, let's do what you discussed at this time!"

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were overjoyed and were waiting for Jia Zheng to ask the matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow.

The next day, Jia Zheng invited a matchmaker, prepared betrothal gifts, marriage certificates and other things, and made a marriage contract with the Xue family. From then on, Xue Baochai became Jia Huan's fiancée.

Jia Zheng came to Rongxi Hall in the evening and reported the matter to Jia's mother, who was shocked and said.

"How could it be decided so quickly? I didn't even know!"

Mother Jia's face was not very good-looking and gloomy. She took a look around and found that all the famous families looked down on Jia Baoyu. She originally wanted to settle for the next best thing and ask Xue Baochai to marry Jia Baoyu, but she was beaten before she even mentioned the matter. Caught off guard, the baby was stillborn.
