The eldest son of the red mansion

Cuilu immediately understood what Shi Xiangyun meant, so she stopped trying to dissuade her.

Shi Xiangyun used to make shoes for Jia Baoyu, or make other small things, in fact, he meant to please Jia Baoyu.I want Jia Baoyu to say a few words to her in front of Jiamu, and let Jiamu send someone to the mansion to take her to Rongguo Mansion. It will be a few days.

Another thing is that she really cares about Jia Baoyu, after all, she grew up together since she was a child, and Shi Xiangyun didn't see any other men, so she thought Jia Baoyu was the best in the world.Where can I let go of this heart?

But from today onwards, there is no need to have these small thoughts anymore, just wait for that person to marry wholeheartedly.

Although marrying Jia Ke can't be the main wife, Wuyanghou's mansion is such a rich man, and from now on he can be regarded as rich and well-off. As long as he doesn't compete with Qin Keqing, he thinks he will have a stable life in the future.

In fact, this is because Shi Xiangyun is open-minded by nature and doesn't take these things to heart. In fact, she is thinking about how these things can be realized.

Although Qin Keqing was gentle and magnanimous, it depended on who he was dealing with. Naturally, she was gentle and petty towards Jia Ke, but she was naturally magnanimous towards those concubines, because these concubines had no status and were no threat to her.

If Shi Xiangyun married, the situation would be different. First, Xiangyun's status was much higher than Qin Keqing's on the surface.

In Jia's mansion, Shi Xiangyun and Jia's mother are the ones who are currently the biggest threat to Qin Keqing. How can Qin Keqing be kind to her?

But Shi Xiangyun hasn't thought about this yet. Now Xiangyun only wants to marry Jia Ke as his concubine. On the surface, he is wronged. It's not that Shi Xiangyun didn't want to make trouble with her uncle in the past. After all, his own is also considered a wealthy family. There's no reason to be a concubine for a charming girl.

But thinking about it, I'm afraid there is no hope. My father passed away too early, and he couldn't inherit the title. Otherwise, no matter what, I would never be a concubine. This is also due to my bad luck.

So Shi Xiangyun tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.Sometimes I feel a little longing for a life of rich clothes and good food in the future, and sometimes I feel embarrassed thinking about living under Qin Keqing's hands.So she tossed and turned like this until the third watch before she fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Shi Nai arranged a guard of honor from the whole mansion and went to Rongguo Mansion.Although it is said that they want to order Shi Xiangyun to Jia Ke as a concubine this time, they can't weaken the momentum of their Baolinghou's mansion.

When Shi Nai arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, someone had already seen him. He sent someone in to report to Jia Zheng and the old lady, and came to greet him at the gate.

Shi Nai got off the eight-carried sedan chair and stood at the entrance of Rongguo Mansion to watch carefully.He has not been to this Rongguo Mansion for a long time.

I saw that the gate and surrounding walls of Rongguo Mansion had been rebuilt, making them look more majestic than before.And now there are even more people doing small business on Ningrong Street.

Looking forward, it should be Wuyanghou's Mansion, because there are many official sedan chairs parked at the entrance, and these people are all waiting to be received by Jia Ke.

In order to see Jia Ke, they even donated a lot of money, just asking Jia Ke to say a word of comfort, so that they can feel at ease and their official positions can be guaranteed.

And at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, although there were far fewer official sedan chairs than Wuyanghou Mansion, there were still a few waiting there.He must have come to see Jia Zheng, and wanted to pass a message to Jia Ke through Jia Zheng's channel.

Looking at the excitement in front of the Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion, and then thinking about the Bowling Marquis Mansion, there are few cars and horses in front of the gate.Such a strong contrast made him think that what he did this time was very correct, otherwise, he might have to spend the rest of his life in such a cold environment.

Which man has no ambition in his heart?Who can see such a bustling scene and not be envious?Shi Nai's desire to make progress is stronger now, not to mention marrying a niece to Jia Ke as a concubine, even his own daughter, as long as there is an opportunity, Shi Nai will not hesitate in his heart now.

Shi Nai waited for a short time before seeing the side door open.Jia Zheng came out from inside to greet him. As soon as Shi Nai saw Jia Zheng, he hurried forward to salute, "I haven't seen my younger brother for a long time, so I'm being polite here."

Jia Zheng took a few steps to help him up and said, "Does my brother still need to do this? Let's go in quickly, the old lady must be waiting inside."

Jia Zheng knew that although the old lady had been a little estranged from her natal family these years, she had not let go of the historian's affairs in her heart, otherwise she would not have taken Shi Xiangyun to the Rongguo mansion from time to time. This was to make Shi Xiangyun relax, and the other one was also I want to know the recent situation of my natal family through Shi Xiangyun's mouth.

Over the years, Jia's mother has known that her natal family is not doing well. Although her two nephews have inherited the position of the Marquis, they are unable to make ends meet, so they often gossip about Jia Zheng, asking him to help him.

But these two marquises are also stubborn, seeing that their Rongguo Mansion is now rich, they don't come to visit them, so how can Jia Zheng hurry up and send the benefits to them.

Even if Jia Zheng was willing, Jia Amnesty could not agree to it there. For many benefits, Jia Amnesty even pointed to exchanging favors and silver taels.

Chapter 460

Jia Zheng supported Shi Nai's arm, and pulled him towards Rongguo Mansion.

The two entered the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zheng said to him: "The old lady has been thinking about you all these years, but because of the things that happened back then, he couldn't get over her face, so she often told me to take care of you, but You don't come to me, so I can't think about it."

Shi Nai said with shame: "Back then, my aunt wanted to leave more property to Yun Yatou and her mother. It was only because our family was not as rich as yours, so I was a bit stingy, which made my aunt a little displeased. I don’t come to see my aunt very much anymore, and now I think about it, I feel very regretful, I came here today to make a marriage arrangement for Xiangyun, and secondly, to see my aunt make amends for what happened back then.”

Jia Zheng already knew about Shi Xiangyun, and when Jia's mother came back last night, she told him the ins and outs.

Jia Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and his family lived very comfortably now that the power was in the hands of the government and the people.Among the four major families, the Wang family is supported by Prince Teng, and it can be regarded as the heyday.

Only the Xue family has no pillars anymore, but since they came to their own family, they have been given them to rely on, and now they are living well in Beijing. Ke's relationship still allows them to have both.Although the business in the shop is said to be bad, there are still some subsidies from other places, and there is also some income every year, so it is not considered to be unable to make ends meet.

Only historians have only two marquis positions of Guangtong, but they have no income, and they are already unable to make ends meet. Now I heard that even Shi Xiangyun has to stay up all night doing needlework.It can be seen that the distress of his family.

Jia Zheng had already decided that after coming this time, he would let Jia Ke give Shi Nai some activities so that he could have a real job and make life easier for the family.

Shi Nai and Jia Zheng just chatted like this while walking to Jia's mother's yard, but to be honest, the relationship that was somewhat unfamiliar before has gradually improved.After all, blood is thicker than water, and the bloodlines of the two of them are not far apart.

When the two came to Jiamu's yard, Yuanyang had been waiting there for a long time.

Although Yuanyang had never met Shi Nai, looking at the gentleman in python robe accompanied by Jia Zheng, he thought he was the old lady's own nephew.

So Yuanyang hurried forward a few steps, and wished the two masters a blessing, "Master has come, the old lady knows that Master Hou is coming, and has been waiting inside."

Hearing what he said, the two hurriedly walked a few steps to the courtyard. As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, they saw an old nanny. Our lady has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

As soon as Shi Nai heard it, he knew that this old nanny was brought over from their Bowling Marquis's house as a dowry, and he was considered an old man to him, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Jia Zheng went further and came to the door.At this moment, the door curtain was opened, and an old lady with silver hair came out from inside.

Jia Zheng and Shi Nai saw that it wasn't Jia's mother, who else?

It turned out that Jia's mother had heard the voices talking in the yard, so she couldn't wait to come out of the house, wanting to find some nephews she hadn't seen for many years.

When Jia's mother saw Shi Nai, she couldn't help but burst into tears, which kept falling.

When Shi Nai saw such an old lady, even his hard-hearted heart had melted, so he walked a few steps and knelt down in front of Jia Mu, hugging her legs and crying.

Jia Mu also hugged Shi Nai's head and kept stroking it, the tears on her face never stopped.

Jia Zheng looked at the two of them from the side, weeping with joy after reuniting after a long absence.Fearing that something might be wrong with Jia Mu's health, she hurried up to persuade her, "Mom, since the second brother is here now, don't be so sad anymore, hurry up and sit down in the room to talk."

After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia's mother wiped away her tears, helped Shi Nai up and said, "When I'm old, I cry all the time. How come you young people are imitating me."

Shi Nai replied embarrassingly: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that I am not young anymore. I am afraid I will have a grandson in a few years."

Mother Jia stood there and thought about it, isn't it?Jia Zheng now has three grandsons.But his eldest son, Jia She, had a difficult time descending from descendants, so he also had a granddaughter.

So Jia Mu smiled and said to Shi Nai, "I am confused."

So the three of them entered Jia Mu's room surrounded by all the maids and women.

After arriving at Jiamu's main room, Jiamu sat down in the center, accompanied by Jia Zheng and Shi Nai.

After everyone was done, Jia's mother asked Shi Nai, "How did you find that Taoist Zhang? You even asked me for the marriage."

Shi Nai was a little embarrassed, but felt that it was better to explain this matter clearly, "Don't be afraid to make my aunt laugh, the mansion is really hard to live on now. Now the family still has some fields and some income every year, the rest depends on Those salaries issued by the imperial court."

Mother Jia also sighed a little when she heard this, thinking that her Rongguo Mansion was similar to theirs a few years ago, and she also started to live without money.

Shi Nai paused for a moment, and then said: "I originally wanted to marry Xiangyun to a wealthy family, so that I could help our family. But I haven't had much contact with those dignitaries in the court these years, so I use I bought a treasure from our mansion and gave it to Daoist Zhang, asking him to recommend it, but unexpectedly it was sent to our mansion."

When Jia Mu heard what he said, she frowned, and asked displeasedly, "Could it be that you gave that thing away."
