The eldest son of the red mansion

At this time, Jia Zheng was furious. This matter was a matter of great importance to the family for generations to come. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to Mrs. Wang's petty actions, just because she didn't cause any trouble. Jia Amnesty's nonsense like that, he immediately showed her color.

What's more, this time it's about the elder brother. Every time he thinks about the elder brother, he can't help but think of Daoist Zhang's prophecy.

After the discussion between mother and son, Jia Zheng resigned just like Jia Mu, and Jia Mu didn't keep him.

Chapter 120

When Jia Zheng returned to Rongxi Hall, he went to Mrs. Wang's place. As soon as he arrived in the yard, a little maid saw him and hurried over to salute him. Then she got up and opened the curtain while shouting inside, "Master is back."

When Jia Zheng entered the room, he saw Mrs. Wang making some small clothes, which seemed to be for Jia Baoyu, with several maidservants waiting on her side.

When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng coming in, she got up and offered her seat to him.In fact, Jia Zheng was very satisfied with Mrs. Wang. Although Mrs. Wang was a little cautious, she was not as violent as Jia Amnesty, and she was fair on the surface, and she still had the demeanor of a housewife.

As soon as Jia Zheng took the seat, Mrs. Wang brought the tea bowl to him. Jia Zheng said calmly to Mrs. Wang, "Sit down if you are not busy. I just came to have a look and have a few words with you, and then There is something else."

Mrs. Wang went back to the bed and sat down, and said gently to Jia Zheng, "You can just say whatever you want, isn't it just the matter of elder brother becoming an official? I'm afraid the whole house will spread the word now."

Jia Zheng said strangely: "I just found out and told my mother. How could it spread so quickly?"

"What is unhappiness in our house? Let alone such a big event as promotion." Mrs. Wang explained to Jia Zheng with a smile.

Jia Zheng shook his head, feeling very helpless about this kind of thing, he guarded the mouth of the people more than Fang Chuan, spread gossip in that dynasty and that generation never managed it.

"Besides this matter, there is one more thing I want to tell you, the position of the Zhou family will be promoted to be a good concubine." Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang flatly.

After Madam Wang heard this, the hand that was making the clothes was suddenly pricked with blood, but she seemed to be indifferent, so she put her finger in her mouth and sucked it.He also said flatly: "Brother is different now, and his aunt should also enjoy the blessings. This role should be mentioned or should be mentioned."

Jia Zheng was very satisfied with Mrs. Wang's words, and then said to her: "I plan to go to the east after a while, let Zhen'er open the ancestral hall, and write Zhou's name on the genealogy in a bright and clear manner."

Mrs. Wang's face changed when she heard this sentence. Whether it's a good concubine or an ordinary concubine, as long as the name is not on the genealogy, it is just a man's thing, but once it is on the genealogy, it is a famous person. Now, the status and status are quite different from before.

Jia Zheng didn't seem to see Mrs. Wang's face, but went on to say to Mrs. Wang: "After the name is recorded in the genealogy, the status of the Zhou family will be different from before. Her monthly money will be released on the basis of ten taels." After finishing, I was afraid of what she would say to retort, so I said to her again: "This is what the old lady meant."

At this time, Mrs. Wang's heart was already churning like fire, but she still had to hold back.After a few circles in my mind, I came up with an idea, so I asked Jia Zheng: "Since I have been given a title and a good concubine, should I also add more people to serve me? Or else I will be with her?" He is not worthy of his identity."

Jia Zheng never cared about these common affairs, and now he heard Mrs. Wang say so, and he felt it was reasonable.So he said: "It's still you who are thoughtful. It's time to add a few people to her. She has three maids over there now, and two of them belong to the elder brother."

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, and said with a sneer at the corner of her mouth: "Since the master agrees, I will make up three more people for her in the past two days, and the three in her room will also be commissioned for one tael of silver. Look at the master." Good."

Jia Zheng said impatiently, "It's up to you to decide these matters, why bother to ask me." After saying that, he stood up and went out.

After Jia Zheng went out, Mrs. Wang's face was completely gloomy. Although she wanted to prevent Jia Ke from rising, she didn't understand this kind of court affairs at all. The only thing she can do now is to continue to urge Jia Zhu to study hard. Otherwise, in this Rongguo Mansion, I don't know if there will be a place for their mother and son to stand in the future.

But she also set a trap for Aunt Zhou just now, she cannot dispute these things as the main wife, but some people can.During this period of time, Aunt Zhao won Jia Zheng's favor with her beauty. With Aunt Zhao's temperament, she knew that Aunt Zhou was adding a position and people, and there was bound to be a scene. an ugly one.Let their originally harmonious relationship become enemies.

Besides, Jia Zheng left Mrs. Wang's place and went to Aunt Zhou's courtyard.

At this time, Aunt Zhou’s courtyard was full of laughter. It turned out that Xia Mai heard the news outside and came back to report to Aunt Zhou. a letter.

Suddenly Xia Mai rushed in quickly, and saw Aunt Zhou walking quickly with a smile on her face. Aunt Zhou saw her in a hurry and said unhappily: "Every day, she is crazy, she doesn't look like a girl at all. What can I do in the future? ?”

Xia Maidang didn't hear it, and said to Aunt Zhou with a smile: "Auntie, I heard some good news. It's about the uncle."

Aunt Zhou had always known that Xia Mai loved to spread gossip, seeing her so excited now, she was afraid she might get some news outside.Don't ask nervously: "What news did you inquire about? Isn't there something bad?"

Qiao Lian, who was next to Aunt Zhou, quickly comforted Aunt Zhou and said, "Don't worry, aunt. Look at Xia Mai's happy face, does it look like her cousin has something to do? There must be some big happy event, so she ran back Good news."

Aunt Zhou looked at Xia Mai who had become reserved at this time, and asked, "Is it the same as what Qiaolian said?"

Xia Mai coyly said to Aunt Zhou, "I found out this after a lot of effort. If Auntie didn't reward me, I wouldn't tell."

Aunt Zhou said anxiously: "If it's a good deed, you will naturally have your reward. See if you want to ask for a reward before you even say anything, what's the sense?"

Seeing Aunt Zhou's agreement, Xia Mai said happily, "What I inquired about today is a big deal, and Auntie asked for a reward for keeping it?"

"If you want to talk, just say it, what are you talking about all these things?" Qiao Lian who was beside her was already in a hurry.

While they were talking, Chuncao ran in from the outside and said to Aunt Zhou before she stopped, "Auntie, there is a big happy event. Our uncle has been promoted. I heard that the official position is even greater than the master."

When Aunt Zhou and Qiaolian heard what Chuncao said, their faces were ecstatic all of a sudden, and then Aunt Zhou grabbed Chuncao's hand, her face was full of joy and a little worried that it was not true, and asked anxiously: "Chuncao, don't you want me?" Lie to me, what you just said is true."

As Jia Ke's eldest maid, Chuncao said proudly with You Rongyan: "Of course it's true, the master went to report it to the old lady just now. Now it has spread throughout the mansion, and our master is now a fourth-rank official." Yes, I heard it is one level older than the master."

Aunt Zhou was so happy that she was dumbfounded, she sat there with a smile on her face, but tears kept streaming out.Thinking of his son finally being promising, and thinking of the hardships they have suffered all these years, he couldn't help crying.

And Qiaolian next to her was also very excited. Hearing the news, the smile on her face never stopped.Thinking about how she insisted on being Jia Ke's maid back then, but her family members still didn't want to, looking at her now, she couldn't help but feel proud, admiring her foresight.

Everyone was happy, only Xia Mai pouted there, watching Chuncao get angry.

Aunt Zhou and the others laughed for a while, and just now found Xia Mai standing there looking at them with a grievance on her face.

Aunt Zhou was smiling at this time, and she said to Xia Mai to comfort her, "I know you came first to report the news, and I am in favor of you. Everyone has a reward today. Then let's let Cook more dishes in the kitchen, let's be happy."

Only then did Xia Mai cheer up, and joined Chuncao and Qiaolian's team, chattering and laughing with them.

Chapter 121 Concubine

When they were happy, they suddenly heard someone coughing outside the door. When Aunt Zhou and the others heard that it was Jia Zheng's voice, they all put away their smiles and went out to greet them.

Aunt Zhou let Jia Zheng into the house, and Chuncao hurriedly brought tea, and then retreated outside with Qiaolian and others.

Jia Zheng hasn’t seen Aunt Zhou during this period of time, but he still comes to see him every now and then. He knows that Aunt Zhou is doing well during this time, and has the money left by Jia Ke. Although Aunt Zhou is relatively frugal, she still has food. big change.

Take the tea delivered as an example, the tea used to be distributed by the mansion, but now every time he comes, the tea brought to him is good tea bought from outside, not the ordinary tea in the mansion.

Jia Zheng sat at the head, and Aunt Zhou accompanied the lower prime minister.

Jia Zheng said to Aunt Zhou: "When I came in, I heard you were laughing all over the room, so I must have known it."

Aunt Zhou said respectfully: "It's the master who promoted him, otherwise he wouldn't be promoted so fast."

"I didn't help him this time, he spelled it all out by himself." Jia Zheng said with a little pride.

When Aunt Zhou heard that Jia Zheng praised Jia Ke, she was also very happy.

Jia Zheng then said to Aunt Zhou: "This time, big brother, you have been promoted because of your great ability. You gave birth to a good son for me, so you should also be promoted."

Aunt Zhou quickly stood up and said to Jia Zheng: "I don't dare to take what the old man says. This is all thanks to the hard work of the elder brother. As an aunt, I didn't help him. It would be nice if I didn't hold him back. "

"If you say this, it shows that you are sensible. If you don't hold him back, it will be the greatest help to him." Jia Zheng was very satisfied with her attitude.

"I have already discussed with the old lady. This time, the eldest brother has done a good job. You are his biological mother, and you should also be honored by him. So I decided to raise your position as a good concubine. In a few days Write down your name on the genealogy." Jia Zheng told her everything he had discussed in one breath.

Aunt Zhou heard what Jia Zheng said to her, as if in a dream.She has been in the Jia family for so many years, and she has always been a concubine with no name and no distinction. She is said to be an aunt, but in fact she is half master and half slave.

If her name could really be recorded in the genealogy as Jia Zheng said, then she would be a serious aunt of the Rongguo Mansion.She is the real master. In Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang is at the head of Mrs. Wang, and everyone else will be under her.

Aunt Zhou has been looking forward to this day for an unknown how long.I used to think that it would never be possible, but I didn't expect that there would be a day just around the corner.
