Not to mention the turmoil on Jia Amnesty's side, let's talk about Jia Zheng's side, the people who were deeply shocked by Jia Lian's promotion were not only Jia's mother, Jia Zhengwang's wife, Jia Zhu, Li Wan, and Jia Tanchun, they even lived in Jia Zheng's house. The Xue family was also deeply affected.
It has been almost a year since the Xue family moved to Beijing. Xue Baochai is 11 years old this year, and will be a 12-year-old girl after the new year.Generally speaking, if there are no special circumstances, the girls in the capital are actually the same as Nanmian. When they are 12 years old, they have to go out with their mothers and sisters-in-law to socialize, and they are ready to see each other.Those who are favored, or those with special family circumstances, can even advance one year.
Because the Xue family is an imperial merchant and belongs to the merchant class, it is also a family that needs to be brought forward.For more than a year, although Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai lived in Jia Zheng's house, they often went to the Wang family's door, taking advantage of the Wang family's relationship to attend dignitary banquets, hoping to form a good relationship.
But I also know that there are those who are moved by Xue Pan's money, as long as they inquire a little bit, they will shake their heads after knowing Xue Pan.
Marriage pays attention to the right family and family, and there are only a few reasons for bowing their heads to choose a wife. The first one is to hope that the other party can bring in a large amount of dowry to solve their family's plight.
The Xue family has prepared a lot of dowry for Xue Baochai, but it is impossible for her to have a brother like Xue Pan!If you really want to marry such a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that the whole family will be busy wiping this uncle's buttocks. Maybe I have spent a lot of human effort. Of course.
Who wants to ask for trouble for such an in-law? !
There is a saying that money debts are easy to repay, but favor debts are hard to repay.From another perspective, this sentence is that debts of favor are worth more than debts of money.Why should I exchange my precious favors for your family's money?There are so many wealthy businessmen in the world, and there are quite a few knowledgeable and interesting ones, so why should it be your Xue family?You, Xue Baochai, are so good that people ignore Xue Pan, the culprit?
Although there was no open confrontation, those wives and grandmas had already revealed such intentions.
Not to mention stepchildren, even bastards, they don't want to ruin their reputation.
They also cherish feathers.
What kind of smart girl is Xue Baochai?He is also used to being able to observe words and expressions, aware of the attitudes of these people, how can he not be troubled?
Their Xue family's coming to Beijing this time has two purposes for her, one is to send her into the palace, hoping that she can flourish and benefit the family from now on, and the other is to find a way to marry her into a noble family if she cannot enter the palace .
This time Jia Lian was promoted, Xue Baochai was also happy, but she was much calmer than Aunt Xue.In the eyes of Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng is her natal niece, Jia Lian is her niece and son-in-law, and she is also Jia Lian's elder, but in Xue Baochai's heart, Wang Xifeng is just her cousin, and she has an ordinary relationship with her, let alone her. It is said that after this cousin married with Jinshan Yinshan, I never heard that she got the right to housekeeper.
So Xue Baochai felt that Wang Xifeng's position with Jia She was the same, and it was more useful to please Yingchun than to please Wang Xifeng.
It's a pity that perhaps Yingchun is the girl of Jia She and Jia Zheng's family who is the slowest to Jia Lian's promotion.Although it was her brother who was promoted, Jia Lian had only just taken office, and hadn't reached the point where conferring his wife and son would benefit his parents. That is to say, Jia Amnesty was still Bai Ding, and Yingchun was still Bai Ding's daughter.
From Jia Zheng's side, from Mrs. Jia Mu Wang's wife, Aunt Xue, down to the girls and servants, they all suffered a lot because of Jia Lian's promotion, but she didn't feel it at all.
As usual, Xue Baochai asked Yingchun in front of Jia Baoyu and Tanchun in Tanchun's room behind Jiamu's main room:
"Second sister, why is Sister Feng missing today?"
Yingchun is inexplicable.
Didn't the elders have already said this question in Jiamu's main hall before?Why do you still ask?
She said: "Sister-in-law went to Boling with brother."
Xue Baochai said: "Could it be that, as the old lady just said, sister Feng is so worried about Lian's second brother? Boling is so close. Lian's second brother can go home according to his holiday."
Xue Baochai felt that what Mrs. Xing said just now was somewhat inaccurate, so she confirmed it with Yingchun.
Unexpectedly, Yingchun actually replied: "Although Boling is very close to the capital, but there are some matters between the wives in the inner house, and the sister-in-law always needs to come forward."
Mrs. Xing felt guilty because Wang Xifeng didn't actually go to Boling, but went to Zhuangzi to cook sweet potatoes, that's what Jia She said.It's just that it's not easy to talk nonsense about such things, so it was said that Wang Xifeng followed her husband to take up the post.
Yingchun himself firmly believes in this.
Xichun, who was below, held her elder sister and looked up at Xue Baochai, but said nothing.
But Jia Baoyu sighed, and said: "Yun'er has gone home, sister Lin is weak, it's rare to come here, and I went to school again, so I haven't seen her before."
Xichun looked up and took another look at Jia Baoyu.
Tanchun didn't speak.
After all, she is older, and she is a concubine. She is not inferior to Shi Xiangyun in terms of the ability to observe words and demeanor.
She knew very well that it was because the cousin of the Lin family was weak, and it was clearly the aunt of the Lin family who was taboo and didn't want Jia Baoyu to see her daughter, so she simply didn't bring her daughter here on the grounds that she was born weak.
When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Jia Baoyu.
The Rongguo Mansion is gone, and Jia Baoyu is not the young master of the Duke's mansion. Although Mrs. Jia's mother and wife have a rich dowry and private house, it can't change the fact that Jia Baoyu is a white man.So this time Mrs. Wang was enthusiastic, but Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai didn't have the heart to sing about a happy marriage.
Yes, Jia's mother wanted to make Jia Baoyu marry Lin Daiyu, so that Jia Baoyu could have a good father-in-law, but Jia Min didn't like Jia Baoyu at all.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang also wanted to get married, and felt that Xue Baochai was good-looking, rich in dowry, and capable, so that Jia Baoyu could spend the rest of her life comfortably, but Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were both indifferent and looked down upon Even Bai Ding didn't know Jia Baoyu who was motivated.
Now Xue Baochai will not speak ill of Lin Daiyu just to flatter Mrs. Jia Muwang and Jia Baoyu.
On the contrary, she said: "I heard that sister Lin's family treated her as a man and brought her up. Now brother Lin is studying with her, and sister Lin is also taking classes with her, but she has no free time."
The tone was full of envy.
Jia Baoyu immediately sighed: "Sister Lin...why does aunt let Sister Lin learn this?"
Others just don't want to, but Xichun next to him suddenly interrupted: "Could it be that in the eyes of Second Brother Bao, our daughter's family is not worthy to know what men outside should know?"
Tanchun was dumbfounded at the time.
Jia Baoyu said seriously: "Fourth sister, among the books in the world, only the fourth book is clean. But sister Lin finished studying two years ago."
Xue Baochai immediately said: "Sister Lin has already finished studying the Four Books, how about you, brother Bao?"
Naturally, Jia Baoyu couldn't answer.
His four books have accumulated a lot of dust on the bookshelf.
Tanchun smoothed things over: "Second elder brother is also enrolled in the family school now. Next time sister Lin comes, second elder brother will discuss with sister Lin just in time."
Jia Baoyu was happy again.
He has heard it before. In terms of appearance, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are equally divided in the beauty of Youlan against peonies, spring flowers against autumn moon, but in terms of bearing, Lin Daiyu is much better than Xue Baochai. He has long wanted to see it with his own eyes, but it is rare for his aunt to bring his cousin over once. , but he was not at home.If he could meet the legendary cousin of the Lin family, his life would not be in vain.
When Xue Baochai heard about it, her eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
Obviously, Tanchun also followed Jia's mother, thinking that marrying the Lin family would be good for Jia Baoyu, but they didn't think about it, they liked Lin Daiyu, and the Lin family didn't like Jia Baoyu.Even the Xue family doesn't like Jia Baoyu now, let alone the Lin family? !
Xue Baochai then changed the subject and said, "That's not the case. By the way, Brother Bao, I heard that you have a good relationship with that Prime Minister Qin? I heard that his sister is not well, and I don't know how sad he is."
It was fine if Xue Baochai didn't say that, but when she said that, Xichun's expression immediately darkened.
The eldest sister felt Xichun's emotions and immediately began to cry.
In an instant, Tanchun's room was in chaos, and even Jia's mother in front was alarmed.
Mother Jia asked about the cause and effect, but she probably guessed the reason because others didn't know the reason.
She casually ordered the nanny to take the eldest sister down, and said: "Young girl Feng is really, she cares about men, and doesn't care about her daughter."
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Look at what the old lady said, haven't our family's rules always been like this? Not only our girl back then, but also the three girls before the younger sister's big girl entered the palace, who were raised in front of the old lady." ? It's just a rule for Feng girl to send the child to me. She misses the child, but I hope she can give us another grandson."
When Jia Mu heard about it, she also smiled after thinking about it: "Yes, Feng girl is also twenty this year."
Three or four years after the daughter-in-law entered the house, she gave birth to a girl, and she was anxious to put it in anyone's house.
Mrs. Wang said: "Sister-in-law, Lian'er is already twenty-one, don't worry, don't you put one or two people by Lian'er's side?"
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "What are you talking about, brother and sister? No matter how many people there are in Lian'er's house, the child of Feng girl is the grandson? Your elder brother has something to say, unless Feng girl is 30 years old and can't give birth, otherwise, You are not allowed to have fun in Lian'er's room!"
In this regard, Mrs. Jia Shexing is better than Mrs. Wang.Several maids in Jia Baoyu's room have hooked up with Jia Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang is like a fool who doesn't know anything.But on Jia She's side, Jia She has already taught his son several times about this matter.
Also because of Jia Amnesty, none of Wang Xifeng's four maids were given to Jia Lian. Instead, they were betrothed to the servants below, and when they married out in the future, they would still be Wang Xifeng's maids in charge.
Jia's mother wanted to give Jia Lian two more people, but when she heard Mrs. Xing's words, she immediately gave a meal.
Aunt Xue then said: "There is nothing completely satisfactory in this world. Brother Zhu's heir is going well, but other things are not so good. The second master Lian is a virtuous wife and house, and has a bright future. After all, the heir is nervous some."
Mrs. Wang immediately said: "No, I just hope that Feng girl will not be like our aunt."
After hearing this, Jiamu's heart rose again.
Jia's mother immediately said: "That's not the case. My boss, I happen to have two girls here. You can bring them back to Lian'er."
What else can Mrs. Xing do?I can only respond.
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are not at home now, so Mrs. Xing brought Jia Mu's maid back, so of course she wanted to tell Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty looked at the two pretty girls kneeling below, feeling angry.
When he doesn't know the tricks here?
Which girl in Jiamu's house is a fuel-efficient lamp?If such a person really wants to get close to his son, God knows how many things will happen!
Jia Amnesty said directly: "Lian'er is busy with business and is not in Beijing, so there is no need for these many maids, so these two maids will be placed in our courtyard first."
The faces of the two girls turned white all of a sudden.
Jia She is lustful, but he is very polite.On Jia Zheng's side, there were two concubines, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao, but Jia She only had one concubine, Yingchun's biological mother.
The concubines and maids in Jiashe's house are all young and beautiful, but few of them can stay for a long time. Basically, they have to change a batch every three years.Therefore, the girls here must either be able to take care of themselves, and in the future they will be married to a servant or married out, or they will serve Jia Amnesty.And after serving Jia She, as long as Jia She forgets him for more than a year, he will be sent out by Mrs. Xing.
Jia Amnesty seldom cared about the whereabouts of these concubines and maidservants.
The two maids of Jia's mother originally thought that if they served Jia Lian, or could give birth to a boy and a half girl before the grandmother in the main room, they would be able to rely on them for the rest of their lives.But who would have thought that they would go directly to Jia Amnesty's house as soon as they arrived here, and those who waited in front would either marry the servants below, or be sent out within three years.
Both girls were dumbfounded.
Jia Amnesty didn't care what these girls thought.Now he only hopes that Jia Lian can make some achievements in his tenure, and whether Jia Lian can make achievements depends on Wang Xifeng's strength.
Jia Amnesty didn't want a girl to come out now to hinder Wang Xifeng's eyes and harm the relationship between his son and daughter-in-law.
In the eyes of the girls of Jia's family, this matter seemed like a big deal, and it made them feel sad. In front of Jia Amnesty, it was nothing at all.
Jia Amnesty didn't even think of talking to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng!
He only cares about one thing - what happened to the sweet potato.
When I was young, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian came back one after another.
Hearing Jia She's question, Wang Xifeng said: "Returning to the master, after all, these sweet potatoes are from Aizhou, and they are most afraid of the cold. Even after hundreds of years have passed, their habits have not changed, and they are afraid of drought and drought." Waterlogging. Fortunately, their leaves can also be used for reproduction, otherwise, the daughter-in-law would not dare to guarantee the ticket. After experiments in seven greenhouses in Zhuangzi, if you want sweet potato leaves to grow fast, you must wear jackets in the greenhouses, and if you want to smoke vines Quickly, we must be able to wear single clothes in the greenhouse. The sweet potato vines on the Zhuangzi are now enough to plant [-] mu. If we wait for the spring to bloom next year, it should be enough for [-] mu.”
These are all burned out by countless briquettes.
To be more precise, it was made of white money.
Now everyone around knows that Wang Xifeng is rich and willing to spend money, and the land price is extremely high.Therefore, this winter, Wang Xifeng did not spend money to buy land at all.
She also has a lot of money, and if she wants to use it, she must use it wisely.
Jia Amnesty asked his son, "Where are you?"
Jia Lian quickly took out a few pieces of paper from his boots and said, "Although Boling is large, there are not many idle fields. My son played some tricks, but he only bought more than 1 mu of mountain land and dry land, which are still in different places. However, my son spent money to rent 12 mu, all for five years. Considering the characteristics of sweet potatoes that "grow wood roots when dry, grow fibrous roots when wet, and grow tubers that are neither dry nor wet", my son personally watched and repaired them before the young year. Several cisterns have come out, and the drainage ditches have been repaired. In the spring of next year, they can be used after disinfection with lime."
It is also because the Jia family has a mine, otherwise they would not be able to support such a large expenditure.
When Jia Amnesty heard about it, he nodded in satisfaction.
He knows how fast the sweet potato vines are growing—there are sweet potatoes in his study, which are already covered with ropes and shelves—now there are so many sweet potato seedlings prepared on the daughter-in-law’s farm, and his son has got enough. ground.As long as he takes good care of him, I believe that once [-] million yuan of food is delivered to the emperor in the coming year, even if the emperor doesn't want to give his son an official title, he might even get a crown.
Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty became even happier.
He praised his son and daughter-in-law a few words, and took out some of his favorite toys as rewards, and then let his son and daughter-in-law go back.
Back in his own room, Jia Lian grabbed his wife, rubbed her in his arms, and said, "Good Feng'er, please take care of me anyway!"
Seeing this, Ping'er and the others quickly retreated and stood guard at the door, their faces blushing.
There is no way, the noise is a bit noisy, and the houses of this era are basically not soundproof.
Chinese New Year is often the season with the most family affairs, and Jia Lian is the magistrate, so he will go to the Yamen to sell holidays at the beginning of January.The county magistrate below should supervise the spring sowing in the area under his jurisdiction, and he should also care about the fields he leased.
Considering that sweet potatoes are afraid of freezing, transplanting seedlings was not started until the Grain Rains season.And when all the sweet potato seedlings fell to the ground, Wang Xifeng also revealed that she was pregnant, and Mrs. Xing directly left her at home.
There is no way, Qin Keqing's side is not good.
In fact, most of the Jia family knew about Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen, not only the people in the Ningguo Mansion, old and young, but also many people from Mrs. Just man.
Mrs. Xing was one of the people who had known about Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing for a long time, and she kept muttering behind her back, how could such shameless people as Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing still be jumping around with disgusting people?If it was her, she would have been killed by a headshot.
So Wang Xifeng was pregnant, so she simply let Wang Xifeng stay at home, and also let Yingchun, Xichun and the eldest sister stay at home with her, and she went to Jiamu's side to give Jiamu a morning and evening sleep.
In private, Mrs. Xing often murmured to Wang Xifeng: "Rong's daughter-in-law is also very sick. She was sick first, then recovered, and now she is sick again. What do you think is the reason?"
Mrs. Xing speculated privately that Qin Keqing was ill for half a year when she was sick for the first time, and she was afraid that something like that would happen at that time.If she had a sense of shame, she would have strangled herself to death with a rope.The reason why he didn't die, then this time it won't be because of shame.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing felt that there was something wrong with Qin Keqing's illness.
Wang Xifeng immediately motioned to the left and right, and Mrs. Xing waved her hand to let the left and right go down.
When there were only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law around, Wang Xifeng said in a low voice: "Mother, I have actually been thinking about this matter in private for several years. Do you think that Rong's daughter-in-law has a strange background? It is said that the master of the Qin family was born After the child was born, he took a son and a daughter from the Yangshengtang. As a result, the son died, but the daughter was brought up! Also, Rong's daughter-in-law is so old, and the master of the Qin family finally gave birth to a son. Mother, You said, is he really incapable of giving birth?"
I'm afraid it's not that this surnamed Qin can't give birth, but because he wants to adopt Qin Keqing, that's why he said that he can't give birth.
Mrs. Xing jumped up when she heard it: "You, you mean, this Rong's daughter-in-law may have a history?"
Wang Xifeng nodded slightly.
Mrs. Xing said: "No wonder! No wonder!"
Who can tolerate a daughter-in-law who steals someone?Even if Qin Keqing stole it from Jia Zhen, it's rare that Jia Jing can't take care of it?That is, Jia Jing can't directly take care of his daughter-in-law, but can always take care of his son?But what about Jia Jing?It's not hiding in the Taoist temple!What about Qin Keqing?She is still the young lady who is the housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion!Is this strange? !
Mrs. Xing has been muttering for a long time, and now she corroborates Wang Xifeng's conjecture, and the conclusion is: the only possibility is that this Qin Keqing has a great background, Jia Jing can't afford to offend her, so she can only hide out, out of sight.
"Then, then her illness..."
"I'm afraid it has something to do with her real natal family. She will be sick, maybe because of anxiety. She will be sick like this, maybe because her family has been losing the battle with the palace. I think it will be decided soon. Out of the high and low."
If Qin Keqing dies, it means that there is a force outside that is about to disappear completely.
And after she died, if anyone outside fell down, you would know which side she was from.
Mrs. Xing said: "I understand. I was sad before and felt that she didn't take me seriously. Now I'm glad. Good boy, you can raise your baby at home with peace of mind. The outside world has nothing to do with us!"
Wang Xifeng quickly agreed.
Since she wanted to stay away from Qin Keqing, Mrs. Xing of course had to make a gesture.The current Jia family is different from the past. In the past, the Jia family had two signboards in Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion. Now the signboards of Rongguo Mansion are gone. The only decent man in Rongguo Mansion is Jia Lian. Naturally, the person who came to flatter Mrs. Xing There are quite a few, and there are also many people who want to have a relationship with Wang Xifeng.
Mrs. Xing let Wang Xifeng stay at home with peace of mind, and when she went out, she always had a worried look on her face. Whenever someone mentioned it, she would say that Wang Xifeng was seriously ill and vomited whatever she ate, which made her really worried.
She repeated these words over and over again, and she talked for a long time, but she spoke so fast that people couldn't get in the words at all, even Mrs. Jia Muwang, Aunt Xue and others couldn't do anything about her.
Soon, everyone in Beijing knew that Wang Xifeng's pregnancy was very difficult, and even her mother-in-law was worried, but Mrs. Xing earned the title of a good mother-in-law.
Because Wang Xifeng was seriously disturbed and was afraid of collisions, so when the dust settled, the prince of Yizhong County outside was sent back to Pingan Prefecture, and Qin Keqing disappeared from Jia's side. It's about Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng's affairs.
Wang Xifeng gave birth, and she had a lot of things to do, and she had no time to do it herself, so it was impossible for her to agree to help Jia Zhen with cooking.
Mrs. Xing wished she had nothing to do with them.
Not to mention Jia Zhen's performance in the mourning hall afterwards made Mrs. Xing so disgusted that she left early and went home.
But this autumn, Wang Xifeng gave birth to another daughter, which disappointed Jia She.I don't want to, when the child was full moon, the palace envoy came and canonized Jia Lian as a second-class uncle, and even Jia She and Mrs. Xing were also canonized, so Jia She was happy.
Although offspring are important, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are still young and can have children in the future.But this title is hard to come by.Wang Xifeng's second daughter is only one month old, and her father has been knighted, and even her grandparents are honored, so why isn't this child blessed?
Jia She was overjoyed and named the two granddaughters. The older one was named Man, and the younger one was named Han.
This is a happy event.
The other one was sent to Jia Zheng nearly a month later, but it was the news that Jia Yuanchun was canonized as the Minister of Fengzao Palace and conferred the title of Xiande Concubine, and that Jia Zheng was preparing to build a family-friendly villa to welcome Jia Yuanchun's return. .
Jia Amnesty immediately held a family meeting to discuss how to deal with it.Those who participated included his wife Mrs. Xing, son Jia Lian and Jia Cong, and Wang Xifeng who had just given birth to a confinement child.
Jia Amnesty didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "What do you think about the family-speaking villa?"
Mrs. Xing didn't dare to speak, she just looked at Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng and said nothing.
What she wanted to say, she had already spoken to Jia She in private.
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then said: "Father, my son has pondered this matter several times in private. This... It seems that this is not Long Live's will, but the Supreme Emperor's will."
Although most of Jia Lian's thoughts have been on the sweet potato this year, and the rest of his thoughts are on his wife Wang Xifeng, it doesn't mean that he himself is an idiot.Even if he is not smart enough, the four staff that Lin Ruhai arranged for him are not fools.The four aides had broken it up and told him about it.If he doesn't know how powerful it is, then he is really a fool.
In fact, there is no need to say this too clearly.Although the emperor had been on the throne for three years, Jia Lian stayed in the Ministry of Household Affairs for another two years before being released.He is very clear about the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.Whether it's Qin Keqing's grand funeral, or Jia Yuanchun's concubine, behind it is nothing but the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
Obviously, the prince of Yizhong County will return to Pingan Prefecture, obviously because he failed to fight for power with the current emperor, and now the Supreme Emperor rolled up his sleeves to fight for power with the emperor himself.
Even women like Mrs. Xing know that Jia Yuanchun is the emperor's concubine, and she should go with the emperor in order to gain the emperor's favor and give birth to an heir.But now?On the other side, Jia Zheng followed the Supreme Emperor, which also destined Jia Yuanchun to be rejected by the emperor.
A concubine detested by the emperor has no children yet, and her prominence is nothing more than a castle in the air, which will not bring any substantial benefits to the Jia family.Adding that Jia Yuanchun is the daughter of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, even if Jia Amnesty wants to invest, it is limited.
No, given the cruelty of the political struggle, Jia Amnesty did not want to invest in Jia Yuanchun at all.
When Jia Amnesty heard about it, he nodded directly and said, "I'm going to find a chance to divide the sect."
As early as Qin Keqing's funeral, he had this idea.Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine was just to add bricks and tiles to this idea.
Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian and Jia Cong were all shocked.
For Jia Amnesty to say this, it is obvious that he has made up his mind.
In fact, this opportunity is easy to find.
To build a family-friendly villa, a lot of money and food are needed.But when Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and separated the family, how much did the two families get?It's not that Jia Amnesty said that the Jia family and many relatives and friends must raise funds to build this family-saving villa.
The problem is, Jia Amnesty doesn't want to come out at all.
It's not that he doesn't have a sense of family honor and belonging, but that he doesn't feel worthy.
Jia She didn't want to come out, but some people thought that Jia She should be the big one here, because he was Jia Yuanchun's uncle, and he had just received a knighthood.
At that family meeting, someone asked, didn't Jia Lian collect 50 million catties of sweet potatoes?Even if the tax is paid, there should be half of it, right?The meaning is, let Jia pardon Jia Lian to pay the big head, [-] taels of silver.
Jia Amnesty walked away without going home, but went to kneel at the gate of the palace and begged to be enshrined.
Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of the inner court, was instructed to come out and ask Jia Amnesty why you are kneeling?It's rare that you don't want to see your mother-in-law visiting relatives?
Jia Amnesty was very straightforward: "Long Live's will is very clear. There are multiple buildings in the house. You can ask for an order to take your mother-in-law home to visit relatives. I didn't ask us to build a relative's house. I didn't violate Long Live's will."
He also said that Jia Lian's credit was earned by Jia Lian himself who was loyal and filial in his tenure, and did not drag Jia Yuanchun's skirt.
Dai Quan wanted to ask again, but he didn't want to, the chief steward next to the emperor came, and he was holding a handwritten letter on white mulberry and hemp paper, but it was written by the emperor, agreeing that Jia Amnesty would invite him to become the sect.
With this written order, Jia Amnesty immediately went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to complete the formalities.He paid for Jia Yuanchun's family-visiting villa, but like other relatives and friends, he only paid 5 taels of silver.In addition, he didn't even see a shadow of Jia Jiaxiu's family-in-law's villa.
He is busy preparing a sacrifice field for his clan.
Jia She's family is small, so Jia She's family is not in a hurry to learn from any ethnographer.It is Jia Cong who is still rubbing against Lin's elder brother in the Lin family.However, it is necessary to prepare the fields for sacrificing the fields, and Jia amnesty for his own tomb in the future.
Jia Amnesty was too busy to pay attention to Jia Zheng's side.
This is still the case with Jia Amnesty, let alone Jia Min.She also sent 5 taels of silver to her natal family according to the gift of her relatives, but no one came.Because Lin Ruhai was coming back, she was not free.
It doesn't mention how depressed Jia Yuanchun got the news from the palace, nor how angry Jia's mother was, patting and scolding Jia for being unfilial.
She's just eccentric and selfish, but that doesn't mean she's a fool.Mother Jia knew very well that when Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, Mrs. Wang was the first to tremble. Mrs. Wang had been her daughter-in-law for so many years. Madam took the opportunity to settle accounts with her.
Jia Mu found a free time and came to Jia Amnesty's place as a guest.
This is unprecedented.
After all, for many years in the past, Mother Jia acted as if she had never given birth to Jia She, except for coming to Jia She's side during the Chinese New Year, which was considered to be a respectable son, and Mother Jia would usually ignore Jia She .
Because she felt that she was Jia She's biological mother, Jia She respected her and followed her as a matter of course.
If Mother Jia wanted to come to Jia Amnesty, it was impossible for Mrs. Wang to accompany her. Since Mrs. Wang came, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai naturally followed.
Although the time of separation was short, only a few months, no matter whether it was Wang Xifeng or Xue Baochai, when they saw each other, they both had the illusion that they were separated from each other.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai originally thought that Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian for a few years and gave birth to two daughters, not to mention that she didn't even have the power of housekeeping, and she didn't know how uncomfortable it was behind her back.
They originally thought that they would see a listless Wang Xifeng, but they did not expect that Wang Xifeng was still dressed in that radiant and fairy concubine.
Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Yingchun were also surprised when they saw Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, mother and daughter.
Forget about Aunt Xue, she is a widow, and even when she is old, the Xue family has money to dress her up, but widows always dress in the same way, so there is no need to repeat them.It was Xue Baochai who surprised them.
Xue Baochai was still wearing the old clothes that Mrs. Wang liked very much, but there was a pair of resplendent and resplendent necklaces around her neck, and a heavy golden lock was hanging under the necklaces.
Thinking of hearing the rumors about a golden and jade marriage not long ago, Mrs. Xing and Yingchun were both dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time.
This is the legendary Bao girl who follows the time?
Which girl is not precious?How could the man's family didn't even mention it, but the woman's family publicized it first?
Sitting down in the Mude Hall, Mrs. Wang looked around and said, "Why don't you see the Elder Master and Lian'er?"
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Now is the time for spring sowing. The county magistrates below have to keep an eye on the spring sowing in the area under their jurisdiction, and Lian'er also needs to make regular inspections. This is related to the harvest of the year! How dare Lian'er make a mistake? He hasn't been home for a month. As for our grandpa, isn't this news from the Qin Tianjian? It is said that Dr. Yan is only free today. Then Wu Guifei's family and Zhou Guiren's family have invited The doctor of Qin Tianjian helped to find out, how dare we compete with these royal relatives?! Moreover, the sacrifice of Tian Fengshui is of great importance, if we miss today’s good day, I’m afraid we will have to wait for the second half of the year. Don’t take it lightly.”
No matter how prominent Jia Yuanchun is, she is also the daughter of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, so what does it have to do with Jia Amnesty?Jia Amnesty has come out from the sect, he is busy with his family's sacrificial field and his own affairs, even if this kind of thing is taken to the Golden Temple, Mrs. Xing is also justified.
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "I never noticed it in the past, but the eldest wife is so sharp-tongued."
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "What a sharp mouth, it's just an excuse."
Mrs. Wang said: "If the Elder Master had never been a sect, there would not be so many things."
Mrs. Xing gave her a cold sideways look, and said: "Our Lian'er is really a credit to hard work."
When Jia Mu heard about it, she said, "Okay. Boss, daughter-in-law, I heard that your garden here is also very interesting. Why don't you put this meal in the garden."
The author has something to say: Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine has come earlier.It is because of the butterfly effect brought by sweet potatoes.Because sweet potatoes allowed the emperor to have money and food in his hands, he naturally gained confidence.Of course, it also led to Qin Keqing's death a year earlier.

It has been almost a year since the Xue family moved to Beijing. Xue Baochai is 11 years old this year, and will be a 12-year-old girl after the new year.Generally speaking, if there are no special circumstances, the girls in the capital are actually the same as Nanmian. When they are 12 years old, they have to go out with their mothers and sisters-in-law to socialize, and they are ready to see each other.Those who are favored, or those with special family circumstances, can even advance one year.
Because the Xue family is an imperial merchant and belongs to the merchant class, it is also a family that needs to be brought forward.For more than a year, although Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai lived in Jia Zheng's house, they often went to the Wang family's door, taking advantage of the Wang family's relationship to attend dignitary banquets, hoping to form a good relationship.
But I also know that there are those who are moved by Xue Pan's money, as long as they inquire a little bit, they will shake their heads after knowing Xue Pan.
Marriage pays attention to the right family and family, and there are only a few reasons for bowing their heads to choose a wife. The first one is to hope that the other party can bring in a large amount of dowry to solve their family's plight.
The Xue family has prepared a lot of dowry for Xue Baochai, but it is impossible for her to have a brother like Xue Pan!If you really want to marry such a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that the whole family will be busy wiping this uncle's buttocks. Maybe I have spent a lot of human effort. Of course.
Who wants to ask for trouble for such an in-law? !
There is a saying that money debts are easy to repay, but favor debts are hard to repay.From another perspective, this sentence is that debts of favor are worth more than debts of money.Why should I exchange my precious favors for your family's money?There are so many wealthy businessmen in the world, and there are quite a few knowledgeable and interesting ones, so why should it be your Xue family?You, Xue Baochai, are so good that people ignore Xue Pan, the culprit?
Although there was no open confrontation, those wives and grandmas had already revealed such intentions.
Not to mention stepchildren, even bastards, they don't want to ruin their reputation.
They also cherish feathers.
What kind of smart girl is Xue Baochai?He is also used to being able to observe words and expressions, aware of the attitudes of these people, how can he not be troubled?
Their Xue family's coming to Beijing this time has two purposes for her, one is to send her into the palace, hoping that she can flourish and benefit the family from now on, and the other is to find a way to marry her into a noble family if she cannot enter the palace .
This time Jia Lian was promoted, Xue Baochai was also happy, but she was much calmer than Aunt Xue.In the eyes of Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng is her natal niece, Jia Lian is her niece and son-in-law, and she is also Jia Lian's elder, but in Xue Baochai's heart, Wang Xifeng is just her cousin, and she has an ordinary relationship with her, let alone her. It is said that after this cousin married with Jinshan Yinshan, I never heard that she got the right to housekeeper.
So Xue Baochai felt that Wang Xifeng's position with Jia She was the same, and it was more useful to please Yingchun than to please Wang Xifeng.
It's a pity that perhaps Yingchun is the girl of Jia She and Jia Zheng's family who is the slowest to Jia Lian's promotion.Although it was her brother who was promoted, Jia Lian had only just taken office, and hadn't reached the point where conferring his wife and son would benefit his parents. That is to say, Jia Amnesty was still Bai Ding, and Yingchun was still Bai Ding's daughter.
From Jia Zheng's side, from Mrs. Jia Mu Wang's wife, Aunt Xue, down to the girls and servants, they all suffered a lot because of Jia Lian's promotion, but she didn't feel it at all.
As usual, Xue Baochai asked Yingchun in front of Jia Baoyu and Tanchun in Tanchun's room behind Jiamu's main room:
"Second sister, why is Sister Feng missing today?"
Yingchun is inexplicable.
Didn't the elders have already said this question in Jiamu's main hall before?Why do you still ask?
She said: "Sister-in-law went to Boling with brother."
Xue Baochai said: "Could it be that, as the old lady just said, sister Feng is so worried about Lian's second brother? Boling is so close. Lian's second brother can go home according to his holiday."
Xue Baochai felt that what Mrs. Xing said just now was somewhat inaccurate, so she confirmed it with Yingchun.
Unexpectedly, Yingchun actually replied: "Although Boling is very close to the capital, but there are some matters between the wives in the inner house, and the sister-in-law always needs to come forward."
Mrs. Xing felt guilty because Wang Xifeng didn't actually go to Boling, but went to Zhuangzi to cook sweet potatoes, that's what Jia She said.It's just that it's not easy to talk nonsense about such things, so it was said that Wang Xifeng followed her husband to take up the post.
Yingchun himself firmly believes in this.
Xichun, who was below, held her elder sister and looked up at Xue Baochai, but said nothing.
But Jia Baoyu sighed, and said: "Yun'er has gone home, sister Lin is weak, it's rare to come here, and I went to school again, so I haven't seen her before."
Xichun looked up and took another look at Jia Baoyu.
Tanchun didn't speak.
After all, she is older, and she is a concubine. She is not inferior to Shi Xiangyun in terms of the ability to observe words and demeanor.
She knew very well that it was because the cousin of the Lin family was weak, and it was clearly the aunt of the Lin family who was taboo and didn't want Jia Baoyu to see her daughter, so she simply didn't bring her daughter here on the grounds that she was born weak.
When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Jia Baoyu.
The Rongguo Mansion is gone, and Jia Baoyu is not the young master of the Duke's mansion. Although Mrs. Jia's mother and wife have a rich dowry and private house, it can't change the fact that Jia Baoyu is a white man.So this time Mrs. Wang was enthusiastic, but Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai didn't have the heart to sing about a happy marriage.
Yes, Jia's mother wanted to make Jia Baoyu marry Lin Daiyu, so that Jia Baoyu could have a good father-in-law, but Jia Min didn't like Jia Baoyu at all.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wang also wanted to get married, and felt that Xue Baochai was good-looking, rich in dowry, and capable, so that Jia Baoyu could spend the rest of her life comfortably, but Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were both indifferent and looked down upon Even Bai Ding didn't know Jia Baoyu who was motivated.
Now Xue Baochai will not speak ill of Lin Daiyu just to flatter Mrs. Jia Muwang and Jia Baoyu.
On the contrary, she said: "I heard that sister Lin's family treated her as a man and brought her up. Now brother Lin is studying with her, and sister Lin is also taking classes with her, but she has no free time."
The tone was full of envy.
Jia Baoyu immediately sighed: "Sister Lin...why does aunt let Sister Lin learn this?"
Others just don't want to, but Xichun next to him suddenly interrupted: "Could it be that in the eyes of Second Brother Bao, our daughter's family is not worthy to know what men outside should know?"
Tanchun was dumbfounded at the time.
Jia Baoyu said seriously: "Fourth sister, among the books in the world, only the fourth book is clean. But sister Lin finished studying two years ago."
Xue Baochai immediately said: "Sister Lin has already finished studying the Four Books, how about you, brother Bao?"
Naturally, Jia Baoyu couldn't answer.
His four books have accumulated a lot of dust on the bookshelf.
Tanchun smoothed things over: "Second elder brother is also enrolled in the family school now. Next time sister Lin comes, second elder brother will discuss with sister Lin just in time."
Jia Baoyu was happy again.
He has heard it before. In terms of appearance, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are equally divided in the beauty of Youlan against peonies, spring flowers against autumn moon, but in terms of bearing, Lin Daiyu is much better than Xue Baochai. He has long wanted to see it with his own eyes, but it is rare for his aunt to bring his cousin over once. , but he was not at home.If he could meet the legendary cousin of the Lin family, his life would not be in vain.
When Xue Baochai heard about it, her eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
Obviously, Tanchun also followed Jia's mother, thinking that marrying the Lin family would be good for Jia Baoyu, but they didn't think about it, they liked Lin Daiyu, and the Lin family didn't like Jia Baoyu.Even the Xue family doesn't like Jia Baoyu now, let alone the Lin family? !
Xue Baochai then changed the subject and said, "That's not the case. By the way, Brother Bao, I heard that you have a good relationship with that Prime Minister Qin? I heard that his sister is not well, and I don't know how sad he is."
It was fine if Xue Baochai didn't say that, but when she said that, Xichun's expression immediately darkened.
The eldest sister felt Xichun's emotions and immediately began to cry.
In an instant, Tanchun's room was in chaos, and even Jia's mother in front was alarmed.
Mother Jia asked about the cause and effect, but she probably guessed the reason because others didn't know the reason.
She casually ordered the nanny to take the eldest sister down, and said: "Young girl Feng is really, she cares about men, and doesn't care about her daughter."
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Look at what the old lady said, haven't our family's rules always been like this? Not only our girl back then, but also the three girls before the younger sister's big girl entered the palace, who were raised in front of the old lady." ? It's just a rule for Feng girl to send the child to me. She misses the child, but I hope she can give us another grandson."
When Jia Mu heard about it, she also smiled after thinking about it: "Yes, Feng girl is also twenty this year."
Three or four years after the daughter-in-law entered the house, she gave birth to a girl, and she was anxious to put it in anyone's house.
Mrs. Wang said: "Sister-in-law, Lian'er is already twenty-one, don't worry, don't you put one or two people by Lian'er's side?"
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "What are you talking about, brother and sister? No matter how many people there are in Lian'er's house, the child of Feng girl is the grandson? Your elder brother has something to say, unless Feng girl is 30 years old and can't give birth, otherwise, You are not allowed to have fun in Lian'er's room!"
In this regard, Mrs. Jia Shexing is better than Mrs. Wang.Several maids in Jia Baoyu's room have hooked up with Jia Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang is like a fool who doesn't know anything.But on Jia She's side, Jia She has already taught his son several times about this matter.
Also because of Jia Amnesty, none of Wang Xifeng's four maids were given to Jia Lian. Instead, they were betrothed to the servants below, and when they married out in the future, they would still be Wang Xifeng's maids in charge.
Jia's mother wanted to give Jia Lian two more people, but when she heard Mrs. Xing's words, she immediately gave a meal.
Aunt Xue then said: "There is nothing completely satisfactory in this world. Brother Zhu's heir is going well, but other things are not so good. The second master Lian is a virtuous wife and house, and has a bright future. After all, the heir is nervous some."
Mrs. Wang immediately said: "No, I just hope that Feng girl will not be like our aunt."
After hearing this, Jiamu's heart rose again.
Jia's mother immediately said: "That's not the case. My boss, I happen to have two girls here. You can bring them back to Lian'er."
What else can Mrs. Xing do?I can only respond.
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are not at home now, so Mrs. Xing brought Jia Mu's maid back, so of course she wanted to tell Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty looked at the two pretty girls kneeling below, feeling angry.
When he doesn't know the tricks here?
Which girl in Jiamu's house is a fuel-efficient lamp?If such a person really wants to get close to his son, God knows how many things will happen!
Jia Amnesty said directly: "Lian'er is busy with business and is not in Beijing, so there is no need for these many maids, so these two maids will be placed in our courtyard first."
The faces of the two girls turned white all of a sudden.
Jia She is lustful, but he is very polite.On Jia Zheng's side, there were two concubines, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao, but Jia She only had one concubine, Yingchun's biological mother.
The concubines and maids in Jiashe's house are all young and beautiful, but few of them can stay for a long time. Basically, they have to change a batch every three years.Therefore, the girls here must either be able to take care of themselves, and in the future they will be married to a servant or married out, or they will serve Jia Amnesty.And after serving Jia She, as long as Jia She forgets him for more than a year, he will be sent out by Mrs. Xing.
Jia Amnesty seldom cared about the whereabouts of these concubines and maidservants.
The two maids of Jia's mother originally thought that if they served Jia Lian, or could give birth to a boy and a half girl before the grandmother in the main room, they would be able to rely on them for the rest of their lives.But who would have thought that they would go directly to Jia Amnesty's house as soon as they arrived here, and those who waited in front would either marry the servants below, or be sent out within three years.
Both girls were dumbfounded.
Jia Amnesty didn't care what these girls thought.Now he only hopes that Jia Lian can make some achievements in his tenure, and whether Jia Lian can make achievements depends on Wang Xifeng's strength.
Jia Amnesty didn't want a girl to come out now to hinder Wang Xifeng's eyes and harm the relationship between his son and daughter-in-law.
In the eyes of the girls of Jia's family, this matter seemed like a big deal, and it made them feel sad. In front of Jia Amnesty, it was nothing at all.
Jia Amnesty didn't even think of talking to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng!
He only cares about one thing - what happened to the sweet potato.
When I was young, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian came back one after another.
Hearing Jia She's question, Wang Xifeng said: "Returning to the master, after all, these sweet potatoes are from Aizhou, and they are most afraid of the cold. Even after hundreds of years have passed, their habits have not changed, and they are afraid of drought and drought." Waterlogging. Fortunately, their leaves can also be used for reproduction, otherwise, the daughter-in-law would not dare to guarantee the ticket. After experiments in seven greenhouses in Zhuangzi, if you want sweet potato leaves to grow fast, you must wear jackets in the greenhouses, and if you want to smoke vines Quickly, we must be able to wear single clothes in the greenhouse. The sweet potato vines on the Zhuangzi are now enough to plant [-] mu. If we wait for the spring to bloom next year, it should be enough for [-] mu.”
These are all burned out by countless briquettes.
To be more precise, it was made of white money.
Now everyone around knows that Wang Xifeng is rich and willing to spend money, and the land price is extremely high.Therefore, this winter, Wang Xifeng did not spend money to buy land at all.
She also has a lot of money, and if she wants to use it, she must use it wisely.
Jia Amnesty asked his son, "Where are you?"
Jia Lian quickly took out a few pieces of paper from his boots and said, "Although Boling is large, there are not many idle fields. My son played some tricks, but he only bought more than 1 mu of mountain land and dry land, which are still in different places. However, my son spent money to rent 12 mu, all for five years. Considering the characteristics of sweet potatoes that "grow wood roots when dry, grow fibrous roots when wet, and grow tubers that are neither dry nor wet", my son personally watched and repaired them before the young year. Several cisterns have come out, and the drainage ditches have been repaired. In the spring of next year, they can be used after disinfection with lime."
It is also because the Jia family has a mine, otherwise they would not be able to support such a large expenditure.
When Jia Amnesty heard about it, he nodded in satisfaction.
He knows how fast the sweet potato vines are growing—there are sweet potatoes in his study, which are already covered with ropes and shelves—now there are so many sweet potato seedlings prepared on the daughter-in-law’s farm, and his son has got enough. ground.As long as he takes good care of him, I believe that once [-] million yuan of food is delivered to the emperor in the coming year, even if the emperor doesn't want to give his son an official title, he might even get a crown.
Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty became even happier.
He praised his son and daughter-in-law a few words, and took out some of his favorite toys as rewards, and then let his son and daughter-in-law go back.
Back in his own room, Jia Lian grabbed his wife, rubbed her in his arms, and said, "Good Feng'er, please take care of me anyway!"
Seeing this, Ping'er and the others quickly retreated and stood guard at the door, their faces blushing.
There is no way, the noise is a bit noisy, and the houses of this era are basically not soundproof.
Chinese New Year is often the season with the most family affairs, and Jia Lian is the magistrate, so he will go to the Yamen to sell holidays at the beginning of January.The county magistrate below should supervise the spring sowing in the area under his jurisdiction, and he should also care about the fields he leased.
Considering that sweet potatoes are afraid of freezing, transplanting seedlings was not started until the Grain Rains season.And when all the sweet potato seedlings fell to the ground, Wang Xifeng also revealed that she was pregnant, and Mrs. Xing directly left her at home.
There is no way, Qin Keqing's side is not good.
In fact, most of the Jia family knew about Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen, not only the people in the Ningguo Mansion, old and young, but also many people from Mrs. Just man.
Mrs. Xing was one of the people who had known about Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing for a long time, and she kept muttering behind her back, how could such shameless people as Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing still be jumping around with disgusting people?If it was her, she would have been killed by a headshot.
So Wang Xifeng was pregnant, so she simply let Wang Xifeng stay at home, and also let Yingchun, Xichun and the eldest sister stay at home with her, and she went to Jiamu's side to give Jiamu a morning and evening sleep.
In private, Mrs. Xing often murmured to Wang Xifeng: "Rong's daughter-in-law is also very sick. She was sick first, then recovered, and now she is sick again. What do you think is the reason?"
Mrs. Xing speculated privately that Qin Keqing was ill for half a year when she was sick for the first time, and she was afraid that something like that would happen at that time.If she had a sense of shame, she would have strangled herself to death with a rope.The reason why he didn't die, then this time it won't be because of shame.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing felt that there was something wrong with Qin Keqing's illness.
Wang Xifeng immediately motioned to the left and right, and Mrs. Xing waved her hand to let the left and right go down.
When there were only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law around, Wang Xifeng said in a low voice: "Mother, I have actually been thinking about this matter in private for several years. Do you think that Rong's daughter-in-law has a strange background? It is said that the master of the Qin family was born After the child was born, he took a son and a daughter from the Yangshengtang. As a result, the son died, but the daughter was brought up! Also, Rong's daughter-in-law is so old, and the master of the Qin family finally gave birth to a son. Mother, You said, is he really incapable of giving birth?"
I'm afraid it's not that this surnamed Qin can't give birth, but because he wants to adopt Qin Keqing, that's why he said that he can't give birth.
Mrs. Xing jumped up when she heard it: "You, you mean, this Rong's daughter-in-law may have a history?"
Wang Xifeng nodded slightly.
Mrs. Xing said: "No wonder! No wonder!"
Who can tolerate a daughter-in-law who steals someone?Even if Qin Keqing stole it from Jia Zhen, it's rare that Jia Jing can't take care of it?That is, Jia Jing can't directly take care of his daughter-in-law, but can always take care of his son?But what about Jia Jing?It's not hiding in the Taoist temple!What about Qin Keqing?She is still the young lady who is the housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion!Is this strange? !
Mrs. Xing has been muttering for a long time, and now she corroborates Wang Xifeng's conjecture, and the conclusion is: the only possibility is that this Qin Keqing has a great background, Jia Jing can't afford to offend her, so she can only hide out, out of sight.
"Then, then her illness..."
"I'm afraid it has something to do with her real natal family. She will be sick, maybe because of anxiety. She will be sick like this, maybe because her family has been losing the battle with the palace. I think it will be decided soon. Out of the high and low."
If Qin Keqing dies, it means that there is a force outside that is about to disappear completely.
And after she died, if anyone outside fell down, you would know which side she was from.
Mrs. Xing said: "I understand. I was sad before and felt that she didn't take me seriously. Now I'm glad. Good boy, you can raise your baby at home with peace of mind. The outside world has nothing to do with us!"
Wang Xifeng quickly agreed.
Since she wanted to stay away from Qin Keqing, Mrs. Xing of course had to make a gesture.The current Jia family is different from the past. In the past, the Jia family had two signboards in Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion. Now the signboards of Rongguo Mansion are gone. The only decent man in Rongguo Mansion is Jia Lian. Naturally, the person who came to flatter Mrs. Xing There are quite a few, and there are also many people who want to have a relationship with Wang Xifeng.
Mrs. Xing let Wang Xifeng stay at home with peace of mind, and when she went out, she always had a worried look on her face. Whenever someone mentioned it, she would say that Wang Xifeng was seriously ill and vomited whatever she ate, which made her really worried.
She repeated these words over and over again, and she talked for a long time, but she spoke so fast that people couldn't get in the words at all, even Mrs. Jia Muwang, Aunt Xue and others couldn't do anything about her.
Soon, everyone in Beijing knew that Wang Xifeng's pregnancy was very difficult, and even her mother-in-law was worried, but Mrs. Xing earned the title of a good mother-in-law.
Because Wang Xifeng was seriously disturbed and was afraid of collisions, so when the dust settled, the prince of Yizhong County outside was sent back to Pingan Prefecture, and Qin Keqing disappeared from Jia's side. It's about Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng's affairs.
Wang Xifeng gave birth, and she had a lot of things to do, and she had no time to do it herself, so it was impossible for her to agree to help Jia Zhen with cooking.
Mrs. Xing wished she had nothing to do with them.
Not to mention Jia Zhen's performance in the mourning hall afterwards made Mrs. Xing so disgusted that she left early and went home.
But this autumn, Wang Xifeng gave birth to another daughter, which disappointed Jia She.I don't want to, when the child was full moon, the palace envoy came and canonized Jia Lian as a second-class uncle, and even Jia She and Mrs. Xing were also canonized, so Jia She was happy.
Although offspring are important, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are still young and can have children in the future.But this title is hard to come by.Wang Xifeng's second daughter is only one month old, and her father has been knighted, and even her grandparents are honored, so why isn't this child blessed?
Jia She was overjoyed and named the two granddaughters. The older one was named Man, and the younger one was named Han.
This is a happy event.
The other one was sent to Jia Zheng nearly a month later, but it was the news that Jia Yuanchun was canonized as the Minister of Fengzao Palace and conferred the title of Xiande Concubine, and that Jia Zheng was preparing to build a family-friendly villa to welcome Jia Yuanchun's return. .
Jia Amnesty immediately held a family meeting to discuss how to deal with it.Those who participated included his wife Mrs. Xing, son Jia Lian and Jia Cong, and Wang Xifeng who had just given birth to a confinement child.
Jia Amnesty didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "What do you think about the family-speaking villa?"
Mrs. Xing didn't dare to speak, she just looked at Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng and said nothing.
What she wanted to say, she had already spoken to Jia She in private.
Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then said: "Father, my son has pondered this matter several times in private. This... It seems that this is not Long Live's will, but the Supreme Emperor's will."
Although most of Jia Lian's thoughts have been on the sweet potato this year, and the rest of his thoughts are on his wife Wang Xifeng, it doesn't mean that he himself is an idiot.Even if he is not smart enough, the four staff that Lin Ruhai arranged for him are not fools.The four aides had broken it up and told him about it.If he doesn't know how powerful it is, then he is really a fool.
In fact, there is no need to say this too clearly.Although the emperor had been on the throne for three years, Jia Lian stayed in the Ministry of Household Affairs for another two years before being released.He is very clear about the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.Whether it's Qin Keqing's grand funeral, or Jia Yuanchun's concubine, behind it is nothing but the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
Obviously, the prince of Yizhong County will return to Pingan Prefecture, obviously because he failed to fight for power with the current emperor, and now the Supreme Emperor rolled up his sleeves to fight for power with the emperor himself.
Even women like Mrs. Xing know that Jia Yuanchun is the emperor's concubine, and she should go with the emperor in order to gain the emperor's favor and give birth to an heir.But now?On the other side, Jia Zheng followed the Supreme Emperor, which also destined Jia Yuanchun to be rejected by the emperor.
A concubine detested by the emperor has no children yet, and her prominence is nothing more than a castle in the air, which will not bring any substantial benefits to the Jia family.Adding that Jia Yuanchun is the daughter of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, even if Jia Amnesty wants to invest, it is limited.
No, given the cruelty of the political struggle, Jia Amnesty did not want to invest in Jia Yuanchun at all.
When Jia Amnesty heard about it, he nodded directly and said, "I'm going to find a chance to divide the sect."
As early as Qin Keqing's funeral, he had this idea.Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine was just to add bricks and tiles to this idea.
Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian and Jia Cong were all shocked.
For Jia Amnesty to say this, it is obvious that he has made up his mind.
In fact, this opportunity is easy to find.
To build a family-friendly villa, a lot of money and food are needed.But when Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and separated the family, how much did the two families get?It's not that Jia Amnesty said that the Jia family and many relatives and friends must raise funds to build this family-saving villa.
The problem is, Jia Amnesty doesn't want to come out at all.
It's not that he doesn't have a sense of family honor and belonging, but that he doesn't feel worthy.
Jia She didn't want to come out, but some people thought that Jia She should be the big one here, because he was Jia Yuanchun's uncle, and he had just received a knighthood.
At that family meeting, someone asked, didn't Jia Lian collect 50 million catties of sweet potatoes?Even if the tax is paid, there should be half of it, right?The meaning is, let Jia pardon Jia Lian to pay the big head, [-] taels of silver.
Jia Amnesty walked away without going home, but went to kneel at the gate of the palace and begged to be enshrined.
Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of the inner court, was instructed to come out and ask Jia Amnesty why you are kneeling?It's rare that you don't want to see your mother-in-law visiting relatives?
Jia Amnesty was very straightforward: "Long Live's will is very clear. There are multiple buildings in the house. You can ask for an order to take your mother-in-law home to visit relatives. I didn't ask us to build a relative's house. I didn't violate Long Live's will."
He also said that Jia Lian's credit was earned by Jia Lian himself who was loyal and filial in his tenure, and did not drag Jia Yuanchun's skirt.
Dai Quan wanted to ask again, but he didn't want to, the chief steward next to the emperor came, and he was holding a handwritten letter on white mulberry and hemp paper, but it was written by the emperor, agreeing that Jia Amnesty would invite him to become the sect.
With this written order, Jia Amnesty immediately went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to complete the formalities.He paid for Jia Yuanchun's family-visiting villa, but like other relatives and friends, he only paid 5 taels of silver.In addition, he didn't even see a shadow of Jia Jiaxiu's family-in-law's villa.
He is busy preparing a sacrifice field for his clan.
Jia She's family is small, so Jia She's family is not in a hurry to learn from any ethnographer.It is Jia Cong who is still rubbing against Lin's elder brother in the Lin family.However, it is necessary to prepare the fields for sacrificing the fields, and Jia amnesty for his own tomb in the future.
Jia Amnesty was too busy to pay attention to Jia Zheng's side.
This is still the case with Jia Amnesty, let alone Jia Min.She also sent 5 taels of silver to her natal family according to the gift of her relatives, but no one came.Because Lin Ruhai was coming back, she was not free.
It doesn't mention how depressed Jia Yuanchun got the news from the palace, nor how angry Jia's mother was, patting and scolding Jia for being unfilial.
She's just eccentric and selfish, but that doesn't mean she's a fool.Mother Jia knew very well that when Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, Mrs. Wang was the first to tremble. Mrs. Wang had been her daughter-in-law for so many years. Madam took the opportunity to settle accounts with her.
Jia Mu found a free time and came to Jia Amnesty's place as a guest.
This is unprecedented.
After all, for many years in the past, Mother Jia acted as if she had never given birth to Jia She, except for coming to Jia She's side during the Chinese New Year, which was considered to be a respectable son, and Mother Jia would usually ignore Jia She .
Because she felt that she was Jia She's biological mother, Jia She respected her and followed her as a matter of course.
If Mother Jia wanted to come to Jia Amnesty, it was impossible for Mrs. Wang to accompany her. Since Mrs. Wang came, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai naturally followed.
Although the time of separation was short, only a few months, no matter whether it was Wang Xifeng or Xue Baochai, when they saw each other, they both had the illusion that they were separated from each other.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai originally thought that Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian for a few years and gave birth to two daughters, not to mention that she didn't even have the power of housekeeping, and she didn't know how uncomfortable it was behind her back.
They originally thought that they would see a listless Wang Xifeng, but they did not expect that Wang Xifeng was still dressed in that radiant and fairy concubine.
Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Yingchun were also surprised when they saw Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, mother and daughter.
Forget about Aunt Xue, she is a widow, and even when she is old, the Xue family has money to dress her up, but widows always dress in the same way, so there is no need to repeat them.It was Xue Baochai who surprised them.
Xue Baochai was still wearing the old clothes that Mrs. Wang liked very much, but there was a pair of resplendent and resplendent necklaces around her neck, and a heavy golden lock was hanging under the necklaces.
Thinking of hearing the rumors about a golden and jade marriage not long ago, Mrs. Xing and Yingchun were both dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time.
This is the legendary Bao girl who follows the time?
Which girl is not precious?How could the man's family didn't even mention it, but the woman's family publicized it first?
Sitting down in the Mude Hall, Mrs. Wang looked around and said, "Why don't you see the Elder Master and Lian'er?"
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "Now is the time for spring sowing. The county magistrates below have to keep an eye on the spring sowing in the area under their jurisdiction, and Lian'er also needs to make regular inspections. This is related to the harvest of the year! How dare Lian'er make a mistake? He hasn't been home for a month. As for our grandpa, isn't this news from the Qin Tianjian? It is said that Dr. Yan is only free today. Then Wu Guifei's family and Zhou Guiren's family have invited The doctor of Qin Tianjian helped to find out, how dare we compete with these royal relatives?! Moreover, the sacrifice of Tian Fengshui is of great importance, if we miss today’s good day, I’m afraid we will have to wait for the second half of the year. Don’t take it lightly.”
No matter how prominent Jia Yuanchun is, she is also the daughter of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, so what does it have to do with Jia Amnesty?Jia Amnesty has come out from the sect, he is busy with his family's sacrificial field and his own affairs, even if this kind of thing is taken to the Golden Temple, Mrs. Xing is also justified.
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "I never noticed it in the past, but the eldest wife is so sharp-tongued."
Mrs. Xing immediately said: "What a sharp mouth, it's just an excuse."
Mrs. Wang said: "If the Elder Master had never been a sect, there would not be so many things."
Mrs. Xing gave her a cold sideways look, and said: "Our Lian'er is really a credit to hard work."
When Jia Mu heard about it, she said, "Okay. Boss, daughter-in-law, I heard that your garden here is also very interesting. Why don't you put this meal in the garden."
The author has something to say: Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine has come earlier.It is because of the butterfly effect brought by sweet potatoes.Because sweet potatoes allowed the emperor to have money and food in his hands, he naturally gained confidence.Of course, it also led to Qin Keqing's death a year earlier.
