The eldest son of the red mansion

There are a few little maids playing in Jiamu's courtyard. For these lively little maids, Jiamu never stops them.As long as Mother Jia doesn't sleep, these people can play around in the courtyard to their heart's content.Mother Jia could also feel a little excitement from the playfulness of these little maids.

Seeing Jia Ke coming, several little girls who were playing hurried up to greet him, and then stood beside him in an orderly manner.One of them quickly came to the door and drew the curtain for him, and then said to the inside: "The old man came to see the old lady."

Jia Ke passed through these maidservants and entered Jia Mu's room, and saw that Jia Mu was playing leaf cards with some old nuns inside.

When the old nuns next to my mother saw Jia Ke coming, they quickly put down the cards and saluted him.Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion now knew how powerful Jia Ke was, and they would rather offend Jia Zheng than be unreasonable to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke waved to the old nuns to get them up, and then came to Jia Mu and knelt down to salute her.

Sitting in the middle, Jia Mu complained that Jia Ke had come, and these people became restrained, and at the same time asked Jia Ke to get up and sit next to her.

Jia Ke smiled and sat next to the old lady as she wished. At this time, Yuanyang had already poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jia Ke.

"You are so busy, why do you have time to come to my place?" Jia Mu felt a little strange that Jia Ke came to pay her respects in the early morning.

Jia Ke didn't say anything, just glanced around the room, then picked up tea and drank it.

Mother Jia is a spirit who has lived for many years, how can she not understand what it means?So he said to the people in the house: "Your uncle is here, and you are still standing here cautiously. Go out and get some air."

The maids and mother-in-law in the room also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Jia Mu's words, and they all bowed and left Jia Mu's main room.

"Okay, is there anything you can say this time?"

Jia Ke still didn't speak, but glanced sideways at the mandarin duck again.

This time, Mother Jia really became serious. Yuanyang is Mother Jia's confidant, and Yuanyang knows many dark things.Now Jia Ke doesn't even worry about her. I'm afraid there's something serious about it.

"Yuanyang, you go out and watch outside, don't let those little hooves come and eavesdrop." Mother Jia ordered.

Only then did Yuanyang back out belatedly. In this regard, she was no match for Nanny Lai back then. This Nanny Lai understood Mother Jia's thoughts. As long as it was Mother Jia's eyes, she didn't need it. Mother Jia asked Mammy Lai to do it for her right away.

"Satisfied this time, what is it that makes it so mysterious?" Mother Jia asked with a serious face.

"Old lady, our family has been peaceful these years, right?" Jia Ke didn't say anything else, just asked.

Mother Jia took a look at Jia Ke, her face became more solemn, "Yes, you have been a high-ranking and powerful family these years, and even our Jia family has become the most beautiful family in the capital."

"Old lady, the emperor ordered me to lead the army north to resist the Tatars this morning. I think there is a fraud in it." Jia Ke expressed his judgment to Jia Mu with a serious face.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia's mother was not surprised, but asked lightly: "Then do you want to be a loyal minister? Or do you want to protect your family?"

After listening to Jia Mu's words, Jia Ke understood the meaning in her tone, so she smiled and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, what I mean is that as long as the emperor can tolerate me, I will be a loyal minister. If the emperor can't tolerate me , I can only save my family’s life.”

A treacherous and cunning person like Jia's mother could understand what Jia Ke meant when he heard it. He was asking the emperor to do it first, and he would do it later, so he could justify his name.

"You are sure. This is a matter that concerns the lives of hundreds of people in our Jia family." Jia's mother was also a little panicked now.

Although Jia's mother had been looking forward to such a day for a long time, when that day really came, she felt scared from the bottom of her heart.This is fighting for glory and wealth with the lives of the nine clans.But after thinking about it again, as long as this is done, their Jia family can sit in the world for hundreds of years, and it is worth the effort.

"Don't worry, old lady. I'm fully prepared. After I leave, if the emperor makes a move, my military adviser Fan Kang will definitely mobilize the infantry to lead the yamen and seal off our three houses. To ensure everyone's safety, if anyone Whatever the matter, the old lady just orders it."

When Mother Jia heard this, she felt relieved, "How is this man's loyalty? Will he turn his back halfway?"

"Don't worry, old lady, this person is devoted to me. Even if some people in our house rebel, he will not do me any harm." What Jia Ke is worried about now is not these civil servants and generals under his command, but Ning Rong Er These masters and slaves of the government.

Jia's mother immediately understood what he meant. He was afraid that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen would make trouble for him.These two people are greedy for life and afraid of death. If they don't get it right, they will eventually sell Jia Ke for their wealth and life.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia's mother smiled and pointed at him and said, "You hozen, why are you so worried about others? Besides, they have no power and power, and they just want to sell you, so what can they do? Don't worry, wait until Once the infantry commanding the yamen seals off the three prefectures, I will summon them to my courtyard and show you that they will not cause you any trouble."

Only then did Jia Ke feel relieved, "Don't tell anyone about the old lady for the time being, and it won't be too late to announce it to them when we're done."

Jia Mu nodded, "You don't have to worry, I'm an old lady in the mansion to support you."

"Then I'll tell my father up front. After all, the expedition is such a big matter. If I don't explain it to my father, I'm afraid there will be complaints."

"Go quickly, Rongguo Mansion will do as you say from now on."

Jia Ke nodded, then took her leave and went to the front to explain to Jia Zheng.

Seeing Jia Ke leaving, Mother Jia stood up and called the mandarin ducks in.

"Old lady, what other orders do you have?" After Yuanyang came in, she was not curious about what happened just now, but stood there waiting for the old lady's order.

"Is there room between us?"

"As for the old lady, Miss Shi has already moved to the Rose Garden, and now the room is vacant." Yuanyang stood beside Jiamu and replied respectfully.

"In that case, send someone to clean it up, invite a Guanyin Bodhisattva back for me, and decorate it into a Buddhist hall." Jia Mu sat there and said absent-mindedly.

Yuanyang heard Jia Mu's order and immediately replied: "Don't worry, old lady, I will send someone to clean it up, and the arrangement should be completed this afternoon."

Mother Jia didn't speak, but just nodded.Seeing that Mother Jia had nothing to say, Yunyang quietly withdrew and went to find a maid to tidy up the room.

Sitting there, Jia Mu silently prayed to the Bodhisattva in her heart. If Jia Ke can succeed this time, she will rebuild the temple and cast a golden body, and build another magnificent temple for the Bodhisattva in the capital, as a wish.

At this time, Jia Zheng was still belatedly discussing poetry and painting with those Qing guests.

When someone from below came to report that the uncle had come to see him, he suddenly realized that it was getting late, so he asked a few cleanup guests to leave first, and then let Jia Ke come in to answer.

After Jia Ke entered the study, he first saluted Jia Zheng, and then stood aside with his hands down, waiting for Jia Zheng's inquiry.

"It's so late today, what's the matter with me?"

"Reporting to my lord father, today in the court hall, Minister of the Ministry of War, Lei Ying played to the emperor. The Tatars are hoarding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Gubeikou, and intend to go south. The emperor ordered me to take command and leave Beijing immediately. Son, I am now Come and tell your father."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng's face immediately became serious. Although Jia Zheng is a person who doesn't care much about government affairs, it doesn't mean that he is a fool. He also felt a little startled by the current situation.

"Is there anything wrong? Why do I feel terrified after hearing what you said?"

"Father, you don't have to worry. This time, I don't think it's a big deal. Son, even though I lead the army to the north, the soldiers and horses in the capital are still my direct descendants. If you think the emperor will not dare to mess around, father just sit in the mansion."

"Having said that, I still feel something is wrong. When you go to the north, be careful and don't fall into other people's traps."

Jia Ke nodded and said nothing more.Even Jia Zheng could see something was wrong, how confident did the emperor have to think he could keep him in the dark?

"Father, don't worry, it's okay for my son to go."

Although Jia Zheng was still worried, seeing Jia Ke's self-confidence, he didn't say anything, but kept telling him to be cautious.

Jia Ke left Jia Zheng's office and returned to her Wuyanghou Mansion. Just after passing through the Moon Gate, she ran into Qin Keqing's nanny Zhu Lin.

Zhu Linshi had been waiting for Jia Ke here for a long time. As soon as he saw Jia Ke, he hurried over to salute, and there was some anxiety in his eyebrows.

"Slave Zhu Lin greets the uncle."

"You don't need to be too polite, nanny, please hurry up."

Zhu Lin stood up straight, and then asked Jia Ke, "Have you received my letter?"
