After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

"Mom, you mean... Cousin Yuanchun, is going to marry Mr. Qi, an aide of the prefect of Yang?"

Even though things have changed so much in this life, Baochai still feels unbelievable that Yuanchun is going to marry someone, or marrying a low-ranking staff member.

It's not that she doesn't like the background of her staff, it's just that in her mind, Yuan Chun is a virtuous concubine!Back then, the royal concubine visited relatives, so ostentatious, let the declining Jia family once again bloom with brocades and cook with fire.

Although soon, it was defeated again.

But Baochai couldn't accept that a woman who remembered marrying the emperor suddenly wanted to marry a minor official.

Mrs. Xue Wang didn't know what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Although Mr. Qi has already married one, the former one didn't leave any sons, only two daughters. When Yuanchun entered the door and gave birth to a son, inside and outside Besides, isn't she in charge?"

Seeing Baochai's expression was a little weird, she thought she was wronging Yuanchun again, and explained: "It's not that Mom doesn't want to find someone who has never been married for Yuanchun, but Yuanchun is already that age, except for the poor ones who can't get rid of the pot. , Where can I find an age match? Is it possible that Yuan Chun is going to use the dowry to fill in her husband's family?"

"Mom misunderstood, my daughter just didn't expect that my cousin is going to marry suddenly." Seeing that her mother had lost her mind, Baochai hurriedly explained.

And at this moment, she also came around the corner.Although Yuan Chun was a noble concubine in her previous life, she died at a young age. It is said that she died of illness after a miscarriage.

And this Mr. Qi, according to his mother, fell in love with Cousin Yuanchun at first sight.I believe that with Cousin Yuanchun's method, the initial amazement will gradually become affectionate.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is better to be a concubine for a minor official than to be a concubine for the emperor.

It's just that her good aunt thinks otherwise.

"Mom, does my aunt agree to this marriage?"

Marriage matters, since ancient times, pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.If the parents don't agree, no matter how good their relatives are, it's useless.

Xue Wang took some red dates and black-bone chicken soup into his mouth with a spoon, then sneered, and said, "What does it matter if she agrees or not? As long as the Second Master Zheng agrees, it is the order of the parents."

"Then he will agree?" Why did Baochai not believe it?

Xue Wangshi smiled, she put down the soup bowl, motioned for the pigeon to take it away, and while wiping her hands with a cloth towel, said to her daughter: "Silly boy, where is it the Rongguo Mansion's turn to be the second master of politics now? There are plenty of ways to get him to agree to amnesty." .”

Baochai was startled, but also smiled.

She was too deeply influenced by the memories of her previous life, and she forgot that Rongguo Mansion is now the world of the Dafang.

Seeing that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, Baochai puts aside her worries and is only happy for Yuanchun.She pulled her mother along and asked enthusiastically, "Has the wedding date been set? Is my cousin going back to the capital to get married, or is she just going out in Jinling? What does the Jia family say? Who will send the marriage?"

Seeing that she was a young girl, but acted like an adult, asking this and that, Xue Wang thought it was quite funny, smiled and nodded her forehead, and spat: "You girl, you are so careless! "

Seeing that Baochai just clicked, a red mark was left on Baochai's forehead. Xue Wang hurriedly rubbed it distressedly, and gave Baochai a reassurance: "Chaier, don't worry, after this marriage is over, Mr. Qi Let's deal with it and set up a female household for you, and it will be stable."

The imperial court is extremely strict against female household registration, and it is even more difficult for Xue's family who have sons to set up households for their daughters to establish female households.

However, if there are people in the government, and the gift is delivered, it is not impossible to accommodate.

Baochai didn't expect that there was another reason for her mother to match up Mr. Qi and cousin Yuanchun, and suddenly her eyes became hot, and she felt that she was really unfilial and always made her parents worry about it.

"Okay." Xue Wang smiled and put her daughter in her arms, patted her back gently, and said, "Yuan Chun is different from your aunt, she is a good girl. Even if there is no Mr. I've always wanted to find a good home for her. This time, it's just the right time."

Baochai said coquettishly, "I know it's my mother who loves me."

Xue Wang was coaxed by her daughter to make her whole body comfortable.

******

Besides, Xue Duan sent a letter to the capital. After Jia She read it, he also felt that Yuan Chun was lucky to meet such a person.At least, compared to the undead King Zhongmin and the second daughter-in-law whom Yuan Chun had been looking at these days, they were a few blocks better.

Who are those people?Either the prince of Xining wants to accept a side concubine, or the younger brother of Duke Shan wants to remarry to fill the house.

The king of Xining and the king of Nan'an are the only remaining two of the four kings of the opposite sex who have military power. Whether they are saints or old saints, they all regard them as thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh.

With great difficulty, he showed his face to the sage, and managed to let the sage remember that he is a person who can do things.The second daughter-in-law was fine, she just promised an empty ticket, so she couldn't hold back and wanted to push her daughter into the fire pit.

She didn't even think about it, if it wasn't for the improvement of the Rongning Second Mansion now, would the Xining Palace have taken a fancy to his girl?Do you really think Yuan Chun is a fairy?

There is also Shi Mo, the younger brother of Duke Shan Guo.

Although the filling is also the main room, but how old is Shi Mo?He is not much younger than Jia Zheng.His eldest son is two years older than Yuanchun, and his youngest son is five or six years old.In Yuanchun, the flowering period was delayed, and it was only 23 this year.Marrying her daughter to a little old man, thanks to that Wang family can do it!

There is also the prudish second child, who pretends to be dignified on weekdays, uttering the words of a saint, saying that he is degrading.Why are you turning a blind eye to the matter of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix that Mrs. Wang did now?

Although Jia Amnesty didn't want to see Jia Zheng and his wife, he really loved the children, so he didn't want Yuan Chun to be ruined by Mrs. Wang for the rest of his life.It can be said that the marriage that Xue Duan watched on behalf of Yuan Chun was timely and just in time!

However, if this matter is to be accomplished, some means must be used.

"Copper coins, copper coins."

"Hey, master, the little one is here." A handsome boy came in after hearing the sound.

Jia Amnesty asked, "How many of the second child's cleanups are left?"

As Jia Amnesty's personal servant, Tong Qian'er is well versed in her master's mind, so she naturally keeps a close eye on the affairs in Jia Zheng's yard, not letting go of the slightest disturbance.

Hearing the master's question to Jia Zheng, Tong Qian'er was refreshed, and felt that after so many days of stalking, he finally had a role to play.

"Since the master brought order out of the chaos, more than half of the Qing customers at the second master's place have dispersed. Now there are three left, one named Zhan Guang, one named Shanpinren, and one named Wu Yong."

Copper Coin asked with a smile: "What is the master's order, but I want a small one..." He made a motion of putting on a sack, raised his eyebrows, and smiled obscenely and meaningfully.

"Fuck you, sir, am I that kind of person?" Jia She kicked him on the buttocks without much force.Tong Qian'er patted his buttocks with a smile, and said dog-leggedly: "Master, you have ordered the little one to do it properly for you."

"Okay, don't be poor, the master has something to tell you."

The copper coin's expression instantly changed, and it was absolutely in sync with the master: "Master, tell me, my little one, listen."

Jia Amnesty asked, "Maybe these cleanups are used by the master?"

Copper Coin was startled, then laughed, and asked directly: "What does the master want them to do?"

It should be said that there is a kind of Dongweng, there is a kind of retainer.Those clean-ups of the second master are first-class in fooling people, are they good at learning... Hehe, I can only say that they always make Jia Zheng feel full of accomplishment.

To put it bluntly, they are here to eat and drink.Now that Jia She is the head of the family, they probably wanted to find an opportunity to curry favor with Jia She.It's just that Jia She is not usually arty, and they have never had a chance.As for Jia Amnesty's hobbies, they wanted to match them up, but can anyone afford to play with antiques?

Jia Amnesty's eyesight is the product of countless treasures piled up in Rongguo Mansion's heyday.How can they, who still depend on currying favor with Jia Zheng for their lives, compare to Jia Amnesty?If he wanted to promote himself by giving Gu Dong his eyes, in front of Jia Amnesty, he could only do his best.

So, when the copper coins heard that Jia Amnesty was going to use those cleanups, he knew without much thought, that they could be used in any way they wanted.Those few people can't wait.

Upon hearing this, Jia Amnesty said, "That's fine, you can find whoever you want and ask him to tell the second master something."

******

On this day, after Jia Zheng went to the Ministry of Industry to order a Mao, he left the Yamen and went home directly.

He didn't see, or deliberately ignored, the jealous and disdainful eyes of his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry when they watched him leave.

"Some people really occupy the latrine and don't shit!"

"Hey, why did Brother Zhang say such vulgar words?" Another person laughed and teased, but then changed the subject, "However, it is very appropriate to use it on someone!"

Brother Zhang sneered, and said indignantly: "Bai has occupied Yuanwailang's position for so many years, but he has never done what he should have done. How could the Holy One tolerate such a vegetarian occupying a high position?"

"Cough, Brother Zhang, be careful!"

An official of the Ministry of Industry who was sorting out the files gave a warning, cupped his hands in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and said with a full face of reverence: "The saint has his own considerations. As ministers, you and I just want to be loyal to the saint. How can it be delicious?" Words of resentment?"

The official was wearing a green robe with a white crane embroidered on his chest.This is the uniform of a fifth-rank official, obviously this is also a Yuanwailang.Although that brother Zhang is also wearing a green robe, but the embroidered heron is on the chest, which is the regulation of the sixth rank.

The first level of the official rank crushed people, not to mention they were all from the same ministry, so the chief surnamed Zhang naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him.So he said with a sneer: "Thank you, Mr. He, for your teaching. The next official must remember it."

"Hmm." Yuanwailang nodded reservedly, and said calmly, "Lord Jia is the son of Duke Xianrong, and his elder brother, General Jia, is also highly valued by saints now. How can you and I arrange it at will?"

These words seemed to be aimed at Jia Zheng, but after a little study, it was clear that Jia Zheng had no ability. He used to rely on his father, Yu Yin, but now he relied on his elder brother to support him.

Chief Zhang said with a resigned expression, "I understand." But there was a knowing smile on his face.

The official who was the first to talk to him gave a "tsk" and said, "This General Jia is really magnanimous. This Jia Cunzhou did such a thing, but he didn't care about the past and was willing to help him."

Master Zhang said: "If it weren't for General Jia's benevolence, how could he tolerate him taking advantage of his mother's influence to occupy the magpie's nest for so many years?"

Fortunately, Jia Zheng walked quickly and could not hear the discussions of his colleagues.Otherwise, you have to vomit blood with anger.

——Jia Amnesty is still kind?Don't even look at what life he is living now?He couldn't even afford to support Qingke.

It wasn't until he went back to the study and asked the servant to invite all three cleaners, and after listening to their scrambling flattery, that Jia Zheng finally regained the feeling of being in charge of the house.

But this is not enough.

Jia Zheng took out an article written by himself and handed it to the nearest single hire, with a smug look in his eyes, but he said humbly: "This is a clumsy work, please correct it by the three gentlemen."

"Oh? Dong Weng has another masterpiece? Then you have to appreciate it." The single hired man laughed and took it over, and glanced at it first. He was prepared for a long time, but he still felt that his teeth were going to be sour. up.

The articles written by their Dong Weng have always been empty, moaning without illness, and full of acid words.The single hired person is very self-aware, knowing that with his own knowledge, it is impossible to have a future in the imperial examination, so he found such a job to make a living.

But these days, food is not so easy to mess with.

Before he met Jia Zheng, Danpin never knew that there are people in this world who are less educated than him but have a lot of self-confidence.

He endured his toothache and read it again, and finally picked out a few places that were still worth seeing, and praised them according to the routine he had already mastered.After seeing Jia Zheng's expression on his face, he almost couldn't wait to hand the article to Wu Yong: "Brother Wu, look, Dong Weng's article is really every word!"

"Oh? Let the students read it quickly." Wu Yong took a deep breath and felt that he was ready, so he took the article from the single hirer, read it quickly, and praised: "It really is every word, Make students feel better than ten years of reading!"

After Wu Yong had finished touting, it was Zhan Guang's turn.

Jia Zheng was flattered by them that he was so comfortable and ecstatic, he just thought Jia Amnesty was nothing?It's just because of the honor of Big Brother Jing in Dongfu.I can only hate that big brother Jing has blind eyes, but he can't see a talent like him, so he went to promote that idiot Jia She!

At this moment, Zhan Guang suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and resentment.Jia Zheng saw it at a glance, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Mr. Zhan?"

"Ah?" Zhan Guang seemed taken aback, and said with a dry smile, "No...it's nothing. Hehe, it's nothing."

But judging by his expression, it doesn't look like there is nothing wrong.

The single hirer and Wu Yong looked at each other, showing a tacit smile on each other.

It wasn't once or twice that they fooled Jia Zheng like this, they already had a tacit understanding with each other.Seeing Zhan Guang's expression, the two knew that it was time for their cooperation.

So, the single hirer said righteously: "Brother Zhan, Dong Weng has shown us a mountain of kindness, in front of Dong Weng, what else can you not say?"

Zhan Guang was a little moved, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered some scruples, and sighed heavily: "It's nothing, it's really nothing, brother Shan, don't ask any more."

Wu Yong looked worried and said righteously: "Brother Zhan, is there any difficulty? You might as well say it, and everyone can refer to it. With our friendship for so many years, Dong Weng and the two of us will not stand idly by."

The single recruiter also said: "Yes, Brother Zhan, even if Brother Wu and I can't solve it, isn't there Dong Weng?"

The so-called catch up with the talk, rushed here.Jia Zheng knew in his heart that the current Rongguo Mansion was no longer the time for him to be the master.But in front of these few staff members, his image has always been tall, so how can he let them look down on him?

Therefore, even if his mouth was full of bitterness, what he said could only be generous words: "The two gentlemen are right, Zheng will never stand idly by."

The single hirer and Wu Yong looked at each other indiscriminately, and blinked at Zhan Guang from an angle that Jia Zheng couldn't see, which meant: It's almost there, you can talk about what you have right now.

The few of them have worked together to deceive Jia Zheng for many years, and they have already had a tacit understanding with each other. Often, a look and a movement can make each other understand how to cooperate next.Many of their past difficulties were solved by Jia Zheng's initiative in this way.

The single hirer and Wu Yong originally thought it would be the same this time, and they were still worried about Zhan Guang: I don't know if the second political master is still capable of helping them solve their troubles?

The two of them helped this time, and they also meant to test.

But they didn't expect that Zhan Guang didn't come to ask Jia Zheng for help this time, but took advantage of Jia's amnesty to dig a hole for Jia Zheng.

"Ah!" Zhan Guang sighed heavily, with an expression of resentment on his face again, he got up and cupped his hands to Jia Zheng, and said as if he didn't want to say anything, but he didn't want to hide it, "The door has been with Dong Weng for many years, Dong Weng's kindness to his sect is as great as a mountain. This sect didn't want these mundane things to disturb Dong Weng, but he really couldn't bear to let Dong Weng be kept in the dark, being implicated by a woman, ruining his reputation for a lifetime! Dong Weng, today's sect can't bear it. Stop talking."

These words contain too much information. Not only Shanpinren and Wu Yong were surprised, but Jia Zheng was also dumbfounded: "Why did you say that, sir?"

Zhan Guang's lips twitched for a moment, as if it was difficult to say what he said next.

Jia Zheng realized that what he wanted to say was not only related to him, but it was definitely not a trivial matter.He was a little anxious, and couldn't help urging: "Mr. Zhan has something to say, but it's okay to say it, the government can bear it."

The two single hirers also urged: "Yes, brother Zhan, just say it."

In fact, what the two of them were more curious about was Zhan Guang's purpose this time.It seems that Zhan Guang has one more way than them unconsciously.

"Hi!" Zhan Guang stomped his feet and said angrily, "Dong Weng doesn't like to go out, so I don't know how everyone arranges you!"

Jia Zheng's eyelids twitched, and he asked hastily, "What do you say?"

He suspected in an instant that it was Jia She who had someone speak ill of him specifically to ruin his reputation.Because that's what he did back then.It is at least [-]% of the credit for Jia She's reputation of being greedy and lustful to spread like that.The remaining [-]% is the contribution of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Zhan Guang seemed to be going all out, and said loudly: "They said that Dong Weng sold his daughters for glory, climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, and was in vain as a scholar!"

This sentence can be described as a bolt from the blue, which stunned the three of Jia Zheng.

Shanpinren and Wu Yong were stunned, while Jia Zheng was angry.

What does Jia Zheng value most?Isn't it the reputation of being able to read?

In the past many years, relying on this reputation, how many things that did not belong to him have been snatched from Jia She?

Even today, when he has to return everything he stole, this reputation is also a fig leaf for him, allowing him to stay in his own world and continue to dream.

Now, someone came to tarnish his reputation, how could Jia Zheng bear it?

"It must be the eldest brother, it must be the eldest brother!" Jia Zheng murmured a few words, and soon convinced himself, his tone became firm, "He has been jealous since I was a child that I can study, and that I am loved by the old man and the old lady. Definitely It's him, it must be him!"

The single hirer and Wu Yong looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree or not.Both of them are smart people who know who can offend and who can't choreograph.

They were not sure if what they said today would reach the old man's ears in a blink of an eye, thus losing their jobs.

Only Zhan Guang had no scruples, and said with the same hatred: "Rumours are usually spread from one's own family. Moreover, the speed of spreading this matter is obviously too fast."

Wu Yong said weakly: "Brother Zhan, this...doesn't necessarily have to be passed down from home?"

For the sake of his colleagues for many years, he reminded Zhan Guang, beware of misfortune coming out of his mouth.This meant Zhan Guang heard it, and the single hirer also understood it.

But Jia Zheng couldn't understand the deep meaning in it at all, and said with a sneer: "Brother Wu is an upright gentleman. !"

A hesitant to speak and a "huh" with unknown meanings, leaving people with countless room for association.The single hirer even opened a small fork, and secretly complained: If the second master had this level of writing, he would have already passed the gold list high school.

"What Dong Weng said is reasonable." Zhan Guang nodded approvingly, but then changed the subject and said hesitantly, "It's just that, as the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If it weren't for Dong Weng's fork, everyone The master can't catch Dong Weng either."

"Mr. Zhan, what do you mean by this?" Jia Zheng's face flushed all of a sudden, and his gaze towards Zhan Guang became extremely unkind.

Wu Yong and the two were secretly startled: This second political master is too narrow-minded. Brother Zhan has flattered him for so many years, but now he just said a word inappropriately, and he will turn his face.

"Don't be angry, brother Zhan didn't mean that." Wu Yong hurried out to smooth things over.

The single recruiter also said: "Yes, Dong Weng, brother Zhan has always been loyal to Dong Weng, Dong Weng also knows."

Jia Zheng's face is still not good-looking: "Then what does he mean?"

"Brother Zhan." Wu Yong winked at Zhan Guang, meaning to tell him to say something nice quickly, and it's serious to pass this pass.

Zhan Guang got up and bowed his hands to Jia Zheng, with a loyal attitude: "Although the words of loyalty are harsh, but for the sake of Dong Weng's reputation, I still want to say it. Even if Dong Weng heard about it and wanted to cut the door, the door will also No regrets."

It should be said that he really deserved to rely on fooling Jia Zheng to make a living, and he managed Jia Zheng's seven inches firmly.As soon as these words came out, Shan Pinren and Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief for him, and Jia Zheng's expression suddenly became warmer.

"Why did you say that, sir?" Jia Zheng hurriedly supported Zhan Guang, and said kindly, "Zheng knows that, sir is doing it for the good of the government. With a person like Mr. Zheng around him, how can he be willing to let him go?"

Zhan Guang stood up, and said with a righteous face: "In that case, if there are a few unkind words from the door, let's just say it."

Jia Zheng said, "Sir, it's all right."

Zhan Guang took a deep breath, and said: "At this time, it was because Mrs. Zun chose a son-in-law for the eldest girl. It is the mother's duty to choose a son-in-law for a daughter in this way. It is understandable that Dong Weng knew nothing about it. .It's just...the person chosen by Madam Madam is really not a good match. Doesn't this give the old man the opportunity to arrange Dong Weng?"

Hearing him talk about choosing a son-in-law for Yuanchun, Jia Zheng was momentarily embarrassed.

Jia Zheng actually knew about this, he was just pretending to be deaf and dumb.

And the reason why he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and let Mrs. Wang decide, was all because Mrs. Wang found someone who offered him very attractive benefits.

However, for Jia Zheng, these benefits are far from being compared with his reputation.

He pretended to be extremely corrupt and asked: "That stupid woman, which one did she choose?"

Zhan Guang was certain: this matter is done.

******

After lunch, Mrs. Wang was complacently planning with Zhou Rui's family, which one would benefit more, when she heard the little girl's greeting at the door: "Greetings, master."

Recently, because of Yuan Chun's marriage, Jia Zheng would come to her room almost every day to listen to her talk about the situation of each family.It's just that it's the first time to come here so early.

Mrs. Wang got up with a smile and went to greet her husband, but what she received today was not soft words, but a slap on the face: "You poisonous woman!"

Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded all of a sudden: "Master?"

Jia Zheng said angrily, "Yuan Chun is our eldest daughter, how dare you treat her like this!"

"Master, what do you mean?" Madam Wang's face was full of grievances.

"You still have the face to ask?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Even if the government is trying the case, the prisoner must know which one he has committed. Even if the master wants to beat me, he must let me die to understand, right?"

Jia Zheng sneered and said, "Tell me yourself, who are the husband's families you chose for Yuan Chun?"

That demeanor, that tone of voice, seemed to know nothing about this matter.

Mrs. Wang felt a chill in her heart, knowing that Jia Zheng was going to repeat the old trick.

——How many times have Jia kept silent when he was benefiting, but once the incident happened, it was all blamed on her, and it was all her fault.He yelled at her to kill her, but in the end, he had to thank him for his generosity, and didn't really divorce her back to her natal family.

Knowing what the outcome would be, Mrs. Wang was still dying: "Didn't the master go through all those families? They are all very good."

"Excellent?" Jia Zheng glared at her angrily, "If Mr. Zhan hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't know what kind of people I have been told in the market? If you hadn't told me, those people are the best , How could I let you decide to harm my daughter?"

Mr. Zhan?

Mrs. Wang's eyes turned cold, and she gave Zhan Guang a sharp comparison in her heart, and hurriedly defended herself: "Master, I don't want to be a concubine either. But Yuan Chun is so old, and a son and brother like her age, We've already been married. We Yuan'er grew up spoiled and doted on, can the master bear her to marry a mud leg?"

Jia Zheng's expression softened a bit, but he still reprimanded: "Then you should choose a good one."

"Why is it not good?" Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and said aggrievedly, "Yuan'er is my own daughter. As a mother, will I harm her?"

She said a lot more, and finally calmed down Jia Zheng's anger.However, Jia Zheng also said: "Those you looked for earlier, you should push them away. The rumors outside are really not good."

"Yes." Mrs. Wang agreed with great reluctance. She changed the subject and asked, "I don't know who is going to spread such rumors because of seeing us well?"

"Hmph!" Jia Zheng sneered and asked, "Who else?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes widened, and she screamed, "I knew it, he's not a good guy! The old lady is also partial to him now, and everything follows him!"

Jia Zheng was also very annoyed: "He has been jealous of me since he was a child, now that he has seized the opportunity, why not try to blackmail me?"

Mrs. Wang said unwillingly, "Sir, should we just forget about it?"

Jia Zheng sighed: "People are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads. Before we delay, we should marry Yuan Chun off first. She is already so old, it's not good to keep her."

——With such an old girl at home, outsiders will gossip.

Mrs. Wang was also worried: "Master, don't worry, I will look for it again, and there will always be something suitable."

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the study first." After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.

Mrs. Wang secretly gritted her teeth and turned to Zhou Rui's family: "I'm tired. Go, ask Mrs. Zhao to come over and beat my legs."

Aunt Zhao was making clothes for Jia Huan, when Zhou Rui's family called her to the main room, and hammered Mrs. Wang's legs for two hours, her back ached from exhaustion.Jia Zheng went to her room again at night, and she had to brace herself to serve Jia Zheng.

******

"Master, it's done."

Tong Qianer got the news from Zhan Guang, and happily reported to Jia She for credit.

Jia Amnesty smiled slightly and said: "Good job, master will be anxious for you first, and when this matter is done, I will reward you together."

Copper money said with a playful smile: "It's a small honor to be able to do things for the master, how dare you ask for a reward?"

Jia She knocked his fan on the top of his head, and scolded with a smile, "You're the only one! My lord, I always know the rewards and punishments. Take what's yours."

"The little one will thank the master first."

"Well." Jia Amnesty nodded and ordered, "Go find a few maids with long tongues, and let them pass on some words on the only way that the second child must pass. Make sure that the second child can talk every day. hear."

"Yes, master, let's go now, little one."

So, in the next half month, Jia Zheng could hear his subordinates talking almost every day, saying that the boss Yuanchun was not young, but the marriage had not yet settled down.It must be the second master and the second wife, seeing that the eldest girl has not earned a future in the palace, so they ignore her.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he hated Yuan Chun for being incompetent for not being recognized by nobles for so many years; he hated the Wang family for dragging his feet and not finding a suitable family for so long.

On this day, the Xue family in Jinling sent people to Beijing with great fanfare, and brought the Lantern Festival gifts to the Rongguo Mansion, together with a letter to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng unfolded it and saw that he was really sleepy and offered a pillow.He was worried about Yuanchun's marriage, so brother-in-law Xue gave someone a choice.

Is a scholar, and has a reputation?

This is really good!

It's just that the status of someone who works as a staff member is a bit lower.

With his mind on his mind, he was naturally absent-minded.Aunt Zhao was used to being able to observe words and emotions, so she quickly coaxed him to talk about things.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao sneered secretly: Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang, don't you wholeheartedly hope that your daughter can climb the high school?I just won't let you do what you want.

"Master," Aunt Zhao said softly, "From the point of view of my concubine, this is a good marriage."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Aunt Zhao said: "This Mr. Qi's status is a bit low, but he is also a serious scholar, he must know the rules and be polite. The eldest girl is the main wife when she marries, and she will not be wronged. Besides, if the master is not As Mr. Qi is a son-in-law, outsiders will definitely praise the master for not clinging to wealth and honor, but supporting the younger generation."

That's all for the first time, but the last sentence just scratched Jia Zheng's itch.

Aunt Zhao saw that there was a door, so she continued to work hard, thinking of Jia Zheng everywhere.

Anyway, by the time Mrs. Wang found out, Jia Zheng's reply letter had already been sent.Moreover, at the instigation of Aunt Zhao, he reported to the old lady and asked how to marry Yuan Chun.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her seven orifices were filled with smoke, but Jia Zheng and the old lady were like two Wuzhishan Mountains to her, and she couldn't climb any of them.

Jia Amnesty got the desired result and was very satisfied. After rewarding him with copper coins, he waited quietly for the old lady to tell him to go over.

And the old lady didn't keep him waiting for long. After Jia Zheng reported, she asked Yuanyang to invite Jia Amnesty to Chunxi Hall.

"Greetings to the old lady. I don't know the old lady; what is your order for calling my son today?"

Mother Jia was dissatisfied and said, "Why, I can't call you here if I have nothing to do?"

Jia She said calmly: "The old lady is too serious, my son dare not."

That look of indifference made Jiamu's heart ache with anger.

But about Yuanchun's matter, Jia Lian still needs to make a trip, so she had to hold back her anger and talk to Jia She in a pleasant manner: "I called you here today because of Yuanchun's matter."

"Yuanchun?" Jia She frowned suspiciously, "What can Yuanchun do?"

Jia's mother said: "Yuan Chun is not young anymore, Zheng'er found Yuan Chun a husband's family." Then, she told Jia She about Mr. Qi's affairs.Then, Tu Qiong saw, "I'm going to let Lian'er go to Jinling to send the dowry to Yuan Chun. And Lian's daughter-in-law will also follow to manage the marriage for Yuan Chun."

Jia She's eyebrows were furrowed immediately: "Lian'er has other things. And Lian'er's wife, inside and outside of the family, how can we leave her?"

This is not happy.

Jia Zheng said: "Brother, I know you have opinions on me, but please don't blame the younger generation. This is a matter of Yuan Chun's life."

Mother Jia was already angry, but when Jia Zheng provoked her like this, her expression became even worse.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng with a half-smile, and said to Jia's mother: "Look, old lady, Jia Cunzhou still has the time to sow discord at this time. He obviously doesn't want my son's help. Forgive me about this matter." Nothing can be done."

Jia Zheng's face flushed all of a sudden.

In the past many years, he has used this method to attack Jia She's position in Jia's mother's heart, forcing Jia She to compromise.The reason why he spoke so smoothly today is because he is used to it, and secondly, he subconsciously thought that as long as his mother persisted, Jia Amnesty would definitely compromise.

But who would have thought that Jia Amnesty would clarify his thoughts so clearly?

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Jia Zheng hastily retorted.

But Jia's mother was a little embarrassed, and felt that Jia Zheng was a little confused about the situation and didn't know what was good and what was wrong.

But in the entire Rongguo Mansion, those who know how to do things and are able to do things are all in the big room. This matter has to be done by Jia Lian and his wife.

Because Jia Lian is not only Yuanchun's cousin, but also the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, not only giving Yuanchun good looks, but also supporting her, so that her husband's family has scruples and dare not treat her harshly.

Of course, it would be even better if Jia Amnesty was willing to make a trip.

But the reality is that Jia Amnesty is so upright in front of the saint that he can't get away at all.Moreover, Mother Jia was no longer willing to admit it, and knew in her heart that the reason why the Rongguo Mansion was able to come back to life was because of Jia Amnesty.She didn't really want Jia She to go away at this time, lest the saint forget who he is after returning.

So, it was rare for her to soften her voice, and said to Jia She: "Boss, Yuan Chun is not easy, so don't be as knowledgeable as the second child, he has always been a man who doesn't find six."

"Mother!" Jia Zheng couldn't believe it. One day, these words from his mother would be used on him in reverse.

But Mother Jia reprimanded: "Second, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and make an apology to your elder brother?"

This completely reversed situation made Jia She gloated and Jia Zheng was very aggrieved.He hoped that Jia She would accept it as soon as he saw it, but Jia She held his head high, stood on tiptoe, and had light calves.
