Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

"Speaking of the good things about girl Yun, I'm still thinking about the matter of welcoming the girl, but let's talk about it?" Mother Jia, who closed her eyes and meditated, said suddenly.

Yingchun blushed.

She is a daughter who has not left the cabinet, so it is not appropriate to say anything at this time.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I think what I mean is that I want Ying girl to stay at home for a longer time." It is popular in Beijing to marry late, and Yingchun is only 13 years old now, so staying for another four or five years is not considered a big deal. No big deal.

Mother Jia hummed.

It's not unreasonable for Jia She and his wife to think this way. Indeed, now that Yuan Chun is in the palace, there may be some unspeakable good fortune someday. When the time comes, Yingchun can also marry a good marriage.

"I know you are all proper people, so I don't bother." Jia Mu took the teacup slowly, took a sip, and said, she looked at Mrs. Xing, "These things in the boudoir, your master After all, I don’t think about it every day, and I might forget about it someday. You too, always remind and pay attention. If there is really a suitable person, a good-looking person, and a clean family, come and tell me, so as not to At that time, I was at a loss."

Mother Jia is getting older, but her eyes are still sharp.

She changed the topic, and her tone suddenly became a bit sharp, "But our Jia family is also a family of meritorious service. Our daughters, no matter what kind of concubine or concubine, must talk about a decent marriage, eldest son Daughter-in-law, you say yes?"

"Old ancestor, what you said is true." Mrs. Xing smiled and got up to give her a blessing.

Xiangyun looked at Mrs. Xing curiously.

She originally thought that these words were for Tanchun to offend Mrs. Wang, so why did she name Mrs. Xing?

Could it be...

After sitting down, Mrs. Xing felt that her back was soaked in sweat.Didn't she know well in her heart, did Mother Jia find out about her meeting with the matchmaker a few days ago?She glanced at Xifeng, but Xifeng's face remained the same, and there was no clue.

Who said it?Mrs. Xing was furious, she must find this person.

Mrs. Xing is Jia She's house fill, and Jia Lian Yingchun is not her child. After Jia Lian arrives, she is also the young master of the first son, but Yingchun, a girl born from a concubine, is not worth her troubles?

So as soon as Yingchun turned thirteen, she immediately revealed her meaning to the outside world.

Now that Yuanchun is in the palace, the family of the Jia family is still there. There are countless people who want to marry the Jia family. Willing to marry generously, in the end, the matchmaker chose for Yingchun the eldest son of Jing Zhaoyi's Cui family.

Naturally, the Cui family had intentions, and it fell into Mrs. Xing's arms. She originally planned to meet the people in the Cui family tomorrow... However, even if someone told the story, this marriage is not too unattractive. The man is young , The Cui family's ancestral home is Songjiang, and it can be regarded as a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River. Cui Zhaoyin's thirteenth uncle is a high-ranking minister of the household department in the court, and he didn't marry to fill in the house. Is it necessary to beat her like this?

Mrs. Xing suddenly felt that she understood something.

She looked at Jia Mu's kind face.

Could it be Yingchun's wedding? Mother Jia already had an idea in mind?

Although Jia's mother said these words for Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang also paid attention to her. She took a look at Tanchun-this girl's marriage, I am afraid that she will have to talk about it in the future.

But she has no worries, no matter what kind of family Tanchun will marry in the future, unless there is a huge change in the government and someone raises the flag to rebel, otherwise in this peaceful and prosperous age, she will not be able to surpass Yuanchun.

Now that the sea is clear and the river is quiet, the mountains and rivers are great, and naturally the above things are unlikely to happen.

Mrs. Wang is sure of this.

So she is not in a hurry.

Xiangyun felt that there was an undercurrent surging under the surface of Jia's peaceful life, and suddenly felt that the relationship between Jia's family was complicated, and he secretly rejoiced that her surname was Shi.

Several people sat in Jia Mu's room for a while, Jia Mu said that she had a headache, and everyone dispersed.

##

After the people left, Mother Jia lay on the couch and greeted Yuanyang, "I have a terrible headache, come here and massage me."

Yuanyang responded, put down the work on his hands, cleaned his hands, touched the rose oil imported from the West, and added the refreshing prescription prescribed by Wang Gongfeng, knelt on one side, and helped Jiamu rub head.

"Why is the old lady so angry today?" Yuanyang's usual face in front of Jia's mother, sometimes he speaks in a less polite manner, "Look, the headache is just right."

She persuaded again: "I also inquired about Cui's family, the family is clean, the child is also an honest child, the book is not bad, there are people in the court, there must be luck after a few years, it is troublesome in the first few years, but after two years The girl is still worried about her life? I think it is much better than some meritorious family. "

Mother Jia squinted her eyes and listened to the mandarin ducks talking, then smiled and said, "My good boy, why are you acting stupid today? Think about it carefully, do you think I can't be angry?"

Yuanyang was taken aback for a moment, she thought carefully, this is also a good thing.

So she shook her head.

Mother Jia sighed, "You don't know, our family is no longer the time when I was the great-grandson's daughter-in-law," she said, with a trace of sternness in her eyes, "Now they have dug a hole, the Xing family You idiot, you actually want to jump down and push the child into the fire pit."

Yuanyang paused, "Old lady, I don't understand what you said."

Looking at the mandarin ducks, Jia's mother suddenly asked, "Tell me the truth, am I a good mother, a good grandmother?"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "Old lady, I don't understand this. You are not an old mother and an old grandmother, so who is?"

"Don't drop the flower gun for me." Mother Jia said with a rare serious expression, "Tell me, I'm not angry."

Yuanyang replied: "The eldest aunt married into the government of Liguo, and now she is also the wife of the eldest son. It seems that she is about to make it to the top. The second aunt married a little bit, but now her husband is also the third-rank servant of the Ministry of Punishment. She has three sons under her knees. Now I am also a third-rank lady, and my eldest son has also obtained a high degree of fame, so I am sent out to the outside world. It is good to experience it for a few years. Needless to say, Aunt Lian, the wife of the governor of Gansu, the wife of a first-rank official, Aunt Min is your favorite lady. , although I was a little bit poorly married back then, but now my husband and son-in-law are successful and I have a son, it’s all hard work.”

Her marriages to Jia's mother's daughters are well known.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt were not born by Jia's mother, but by her aunt, but Jia's mother still told her about a good marriage and married them under her own name. , are all good family affairs.

As for the third aunt's grandmother Jia Lian and the fourth aunt's grandmother Jia Min, when Jia Lian got married, it was the best time for the Jia family, so naturally they married the best. Knowing about Jia's mother, knowing that Jia's mother is still bitter about the fact that her two biological daughters did not marry meritorious relatives.

But in all fairness, Mother Jia can be considered a good mother.

"As for the eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl, and the fourth girl," Yuanyang smiled, "In their eyes, you are the grandmother who loves them the most."

Mother Jia let out a sigh of relief, and she fiddled with the sandalwood string on her wrist, "I'm not a good mother, Yuanyang, I know, and I'm not a good grandmother either. Now the Cui family's marriage is as simple as it seems on the surface. , I nodded and agreed, now that Yuan girl has entered the palace, she is beautiful, if she becomes a concubine in the future, it will be better for a few girls to marry." She paused, "If Yuan girl not only failed to become a concubine, but also caused trouble What about our family?"

"Old lady, this is unlucky, you can't say it." Yuanyang exclaimed.

This possibility is something they don't even want to think about.

The eldest girl is so beautiful, talented and smart, how could she...

Mother Jia patted Yuanyang's hand, her eyes showed no sign of comforting her at all, and she didn't say anything to save face, "I was married in by my great-grandson's wife, and I'm also a clan wife, so naturally I see a lot and think a lot. Well, in everything, there are pros and cons. There are good times and bad times. I don't support or object to Yuan girl entering the palace. The road is her own. She and her mother chose this road , I can’t turn back, our Jia family has already tied her up with her, so I naturally hope for her well.”

She changed the subject, "Where is that place in the palace, I mobilized my whole body." Mother Jia showed a rare sneer on her face, "I know that Amnesty is useless, otherwise I don't need to support Zheng'er, but now it's good , it might as well be nothing, a prodigal son is a hundred times stronger than an incompetent one."

Yuanyang was startled.

The news that Mother Jia revealed was really shocking, and she didn't know what to say.

Jia Mu's tone was unusually exhausted, "Thanks to everyone's presence back then, I still had someone to talk to, but now I can only play the piano to cows."

"Go and call Feng girl over here." Mother Jia ordered.

As soon as the mandarin duck was blessed, he immediately turned out to find Sister Feng.

Xifeng had already changed her clothes and was about to go to the council hall, but when she heard that Mother Jia wanted to see her, she hurriedly turned over.

The maid drew up the curtain, and she walked in gracefully, and said to Jiamu with a smile, "Old Ancestor, what's the matter?"

Jia Mu didn't joke with her like the other day, but said seriously: "You guys go down first."

Yuanyang took the lead to salute, closed the door and went out.

Xifeng realized how serious today's matter was, and put away her hippie smile, "Old Ancestor, what's the matter? It's the Cui family's marriage?"

Jia Mu nodded and pointed to the chair, "Sit down."

Xifeng didn't dare to sit down, so she finally had to sit next to each other.

"What do you think?" Mother Jia didn't speak first, but asked Xifeng first.

Xifeng thought for a while, looked at Jia Mu's face, and speculated for a long time before saying: "At first glance, it looks like a good marriage."

Mother Jia let out a sigh of relief, and her face softened a little, "Son, you are the best." She said angrily: "Lian'er's mother is a step-wife after all, and her family background is not good, so she can't get on the stage, but you are different. You are from everyone. You have to say something, even if you are a junior. If she does something wrong, you have to say it. As for what she says, hmph, listen to what you should listen to, and ignore what you shouldn’t. That's right."

Xifeng was stunned.

What Jiamu said was really subversive, it subverted her perception of filial piety.

To be honest, she has been displeased with Mrs. Xing for a long time. Mrs. Xing doesn't understand anything, but she still wants to say a few words about everything, and she doesn't know anything when necessary. Her mind is on saving her own private house, if Mrs. Xing hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't have to avoid living in the second room.

Now that Jia's mother has been killed, Xifeng doesn't feel a little happy.

"Did you know that Cui Ying is the only one of the six ministers who is not the second assistant?" Jia Mu suddenly changed the subject.

Xifeng said: "I heard from my father at home that he was expelled from the six ministries because he belonged to the late emperor, and because he had sinned against a saint when he abolished the empress, and because he had different political views from Xue Shoufu. His second assistant seat is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Marquis of Dingguo Lin Xi."

Jia Mu nodded, "Now that the sage is old, there is news from the palace that he wants to abdicate." She twirled the beads, "When the crown prince is in the throne, the cabinet's second assistant will have to be replaced. "

Xifeng subconsciously asked: "Is there any news about the old ancestor?"

Mother Jia sighed, "Now only Zhong Cifu is the oldest, so it is only natural to take him. Besides Cui Ying, Lian'er's husband Yang Shi'an is the one with seniority."

Xifeng gasped.

"Have you ever heard of the dispute between Yan and Xu in the previous court?" Mother Jia sneered, and the smile gradually deepened.

"Fortunately, you are still at home." This was the first time Xifeng said it from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help dripping cold sweat from her temples. She thought that Mrs. Xing was not a smart guy, but she never thought of this relation.
