[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child
Chapter 38
Jia Min didn't have a good impression of Aunt Li, but in his memory, she was a very powerful woman.Especially the last time we met, she was a concubine, and she appeared in front of everyone at her daughter's weekly feast, and took her daughter away, which was really impressive.
Who would have thought that how long this has passed before the people are gone.
Jia Min thought for a while and asked, "Do you know what kind of disease it is? If she is gone, what will happen to the child left behind? Who is going to take care of it?"
Jia Zhu shook her head: "I haven't returned home yet, so I don't know the arrangements at home. When I received the news, Aunt Li was already gone, and the family only said it was a sudden illness, so I didn't know about it."
Jia Min nodded: "It's nothing, this book has nothing to do with you."
Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "If my aunt has nothing else to do, I'll go home. I'm afraid the house is very busy now, so I have to go home and have a look."
"You go back first."
After Jia Zhu left, Lin Liu and Xiao Guiling came to the carriage with a child each.Ji Song followed behind, came over to say hello to Jia Min, then took his leave and left.
Aunt Li's status is low, as Jia Zhu said, there is no need for Jia Min, the head wife of the Lin family, to come to mourn her.
It's just that on the way home, there is always some uneasiness.
When Lin Ruhai came back, Jia Min told Lin Ruhai about the matter, and only got Lin Ruhai's words: "Let the servants prepare some memorial ceremony and send it to Rongguo Mansion, and we won't go there."
When Jia Min heard this, she could only let go of the discomfort in her heart.
I thought that since Jia Zhu had already told Jia Min, the Rongguo Mansion would not send anyone to inform about this matter.
Who would have thought that the Rongguo Mansion would still send someone over that night.
The identity of the person sent here is still different, and he is the most trusted mother Lai around Jiamu.
Moreover, listening to what Nanny Lai said, it seemed that Mother Jia wanted to let her go to Rongguo Mansion in person.
Although the purpose is not to express condolences, it is really strange to pass at this time.
Jia Min was at a loss, but thinking that it was his biological mother who asked for it, after discussing it with Lin Ruhai, he simply agreed.
Because Sheng Man still needs a few days to pack his luggage, Lin Liu is free these days.
After learning about this, Lin Liu's mind immediately recalled Aunt Li's arrogant and arrogant expression when they met for the last time even when facing herself, Jia Lian and the others.
After a moment of hesitation, she approached Jia Min: "Mother, I also want to go to Rongguo Mansion."
Jia Min was a little surprised: "You are a child, and you can't avoid this kind of occasion. Why do you still want to go to this kind of place? What if you are frightened?"
Lin Liu shook her head: "I won't be surprised."
Has she seen fewer dead people in the last days?Not only this kind of dead people who died of illness, but she has never seen all kinds of miserable corpses.
To Lin Liu, the corpse was really not scary.
Seeing her firm attitude, Jia Min couldn't help asking: "You have to give me a suitable reason, right? Otherwise, how dare I take you to the funeral?"
Lin Liu thought for a while: "I'm a little worried about Cousin Lian and Cousin Yingchun."
Looking at Lin Liu's expression, one could tell that she hadn't lost her mind when she said this reason.But she and Jia Lian did have a good relationship. After Jia Min hesitated, he finally nodded and agreed to Lin Liu's request.
Because it was just a concubine's funeral, the Rongguo Mansion just found a remote courtyard and set up a mourning hall, and did nothing else.
When Jia Min entered Rongguo Mansion, he detained Lin Liu by his side and didn't let her go anywhere.
After seeing Jia's mother, Jia Min was left in the Rongqing Hall to talk about the matter, and Lin Liu found an opportunity to leave the Rongqing Hall with Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng still remembered the younger sister Lin Liu, and couldn't help being curious: "Little Qilin, why are you here today?"
Lin Liu looked at Wang Xifeng: "I still want to ask you, your family is willing to let you come to Rongguo Mansion at this time?"
Wang Xifeng waved her hands nonchalantly: "I came to Rongguo Mansion a few days ago and stayed with my aunt for a while. Who would have thought that Aunt Li had a sudden illness and just showed symptoms, and the servant girls in the house didn't even have time to leave the courtyard. It's gone. It happened so fast, the Wang family probably didn't get the news yet."
Lin Liu was startled, died suddenly?
Jia Lian also added beside him: "After all, she is just an aunt, and the family will not hold a road sacrifice for her with great fanfare. Naturally, no old relatives and friends have been notified. From what the old lady said, it seems that after seven days, Aunt Li's mourning hall will be removed. , There is no need to wait until seven or seventy-nine days."
Lin Liu was a little puzzled: "If you don't care about Aunt Li, why do you have to set up a mourning hall for her?"
Rongguo Mansion doesn't even care about the children of concubines, let alone these concubines and aunts who were born as slaves. They set up a mourning hall for her and held a small funeral for her. It really doesn't look like Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Lian didn't understand, but just shook his head.
But Wang Xifeng knew some news: "My aunt ordered that Aunt Li finally gave birth to a daughter for Mr. Xi, so it's not easy for her to leave in a deserted manner."
Wang?This thing is getting weirder.
Lin Liu was still thinking about the strangeness of this matter, so Wang Xifeng who was next to Jia Lian rolled his eyes and said softly, "I'm a little curious, why don't we go to Aunt Li's mourning hall?"
Jia Lian was somewhat conflicted: "No need? Aunt Li is not a good person, so I don't want to offer incense to her."
Wang Xifeng snorted: "Who told you to burn incense for her? She is just a slave, how can you deserve incense for her? I am just curious about what the dead look like. I heard that they all have green faces and long fangs. It's just acquaintance."
Lin Liu stood by, wanting to go, but worried about breaking a taboo.
Wang Xifeng was very courageous, seeing Lin Liu moved, as if he had found an ally, he took Lin Liu's hand and walked towards the mourning hall: "I wanted to go and see it before, but Cousin Lian has been careful not to Dare to go, I said twice, but I can only give up. Now that the little Qilin is here, I can go over and take a look."
Lin Liu struggled a bit, but did not break free.
Thinking of going to the mourning hall to be more peaceful, not to wander around, and probably not breaking any taboos, he simply followed Wang Xifeng's strength and walked forward.
Jia Lian looked at this and then at that, and had no choice but to chase after her, and took the lead and walked in the front: "You two are both girls, and you are also timid. It's better to go behind."
The three children avoided the maids and servants in the mansion, trotted all the way, and soon came to the courtyard where Aunt Li's mourning hall was set up.
The yard was very deserted, except for the two gatekeepers, there was only a one-year-old child kneeling in front of the coffin to burn paper money.
Standing next to her was a woman who seemed to be Yingchun's nanny.
Seeing the three children coming in, the nanny's face suddenly became gloomy.But for some reason, until the three of them entered the mourning hall, the nanny didn't get angry at the three of them.
Although it is said that it is not fragrant, but since we are here, it is not easy to walk around and leave.
The three children walked to Yingchun, and each burned a handful of paper money for Aunt Li, which was considered as their own contribution.
When Lin Liu squatted on the ground and burned the paper, she turned her head to look at Yingchun.
Yingchun, who used to look chubby and had lively eyes, now looked numb, mechanically repeating the motion of burning paper like a puppet, her eyes were in a daze, and her lips were chapped.
Lin Liu was startled, and subconsciously wanted to drag him up.
The nanny who had been silent at the side stepped forward and waved Lin Liu's hand away: "Cousin girl, the second girl is doing her filial piety for her biological mother, so don't meddle in your own business."
Because of Lin Liu's actions, Yingchun's eyes glowed, but after the nanny spoke, her body trembled slightly in fright, and she quickly lowered her head to suppress the tears that swirled in her eyes.
Lin Liu was a little angry: "You are Yingchun's nanny? Didn't you see that her lips are all chapped? She is so young, you..."
"Little Qilin, stop talking." Jia Lian quickly reached out to hold Lin Liu.
Lin Liu was a little confused: "Jia Lian, what are you doing?"
Jia Lian said in a low voice: "After Aunt Li's accident, the old lady took pity on Yingchun, and specially ordered her not to keep watch, but to come here every day to burn paper money for Aunt Li for half an hour. It was she who cried and made noise , I want to come over to guard Aunt Li's spirit."
Lin Liu was stunned, and turned to look at Yingchun, only to find that she had clearly heard the conversation between herself and Jia Lian, but not only did she not move, she didn't even make a sound.
On the contrary, the nanny next to her had the same condescending arrogance on her face as Aunt Li had in her lifetime.
Lin Liu couldn't help wondering if she was really meddling in her own business?
After burning the paper money in her hand, Wang Xifeng clapped her hands and stood up. Without looking at Yingchun who was kneeling on the ground, she walked straight towards Aunt Li's coffin.
The nanny stretched out her hand to stop her, but relying on her petite stature, Wang Xifeng slipped directly under her armpit, walked to the coffin in three or two steps, and tiptoed on the mouth of the coffin to look inside.
Because the coffin had been suspended for less than seven days, the coffin was still open and not sealed.
As soon as Wang Xifeng poked her head, she met Aunt Li's remains. Unsurprisingly, she screamed in fright and sat down on the ground.
But soon, Wang Xifeng patted his chest and stood up from the ground.
She looked at Jia Lian with a little complacency: "It's not as scary as the grown-ups say, except that the face is a little paler and the lips are a little darker, isn't it the same as falling asleep?"
The nanny looked at Wang Xifeng coldly, but due to her status, she couldn't do anything to her.
Facing Yingchun's nanny, Jia Lian felt a little apprehensive, and quickly pulled her aside: "Restrain yourself, this is the mourning hall."
However, Lin Liu was attracted by Wang Xifeng's "lips are a little darker", she paused, took advantage of Jia Lian's speech, and the nanny's attention fell on the two of them, quietly walked over to look at Aunt Li's legacy.
And focused on Aunt Li's fingernails.
After reading it, her heart was beating wildly.
Worried about what the nanny would see, Lin Liu walked up to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and dragged them out of the mourning hall one by one, "Since they don't welcome us, let's leave quickly."
After hearing this, the nanny turned her gaze away from the three of them and continued to stare at Yingchun.
After walking a long way, Lin Liu let go of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and walked aside by herself.
If I read correctly, Aunt Li should have been poisoned to death.
Lin Liu made a big discovery here, and Jia Min didn't let the conversation go too far.
The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a while, so naturally they had to catch up on the past after getting together, and after a quarter of an hour, the two of them got to the point.
It turned out that Mother Jia sent her daughter to Rongguo Mansion this time because of Jia Amnesty's remarriage.
Jia Min was a little puzzled: "Isn't eldest brother always unwilling to remarry?"
Jia's mother shook her head: "It's not that Aunt Li is gone, even if he wants to restore Li's family, he has no chance, so he agreed to remarry."
Jia Min was a little embarrassed: "As soon as Aunt Li passed away, my mother made all the fuss about marrying my elder brother. Isn't that a bit bad?"
Why, you have to wait a month or two, right?
Mother Jia glared at her: "It's just a concubine's room. If it's gone, do you still have to ask your elder brother to keep filial piety for her? I've only heard of filial piety for wives in this world, but I haven't heard of a concubine being filial."
Jia Min blinked and smiled flatteringly at Mother Jia: "It's my daughter who is confused."
Jia Mu patted her hand angrily, and sighed: "You think I want to make an exception and set up a mourning hall for a concubine, but at the same time can't wait to marry your elder brother?
But you don't even think about it, how many years have your elder sister-in-law been gone.
Jia Zhen from the Ning Mansion married You Shi only two years after her wife's death, and married You Shi back home a year later, where's your elder brother?How long has it been? If he doesn't marry him again, who knows if he will be fooled by another concubine's house in a few days, and have the idea of strengthening the concubine's house again?
A family like ours, no matter how mischievous it is, we can't let people see the joke of taking a concubine as a wife. "
Jia Min thought for a while, but still disagreed: "After all, it's still too urgent. Why didn't mother wait a month before talking about it?"
Mother Jia shook her head: "I'm not in a hurry, but your elder brother's two children can't be left alone to take care of them. Before Mrs. Li was there, she could still take care of her own daughter. It doesn't take much energy for me to take care of Lian'er. But now Mrs. Li is gone, leaving behind a little girl in her early one year old, I am an old woman, where do I get the energy to take care of her?"
Jia Min was dumbfounded, this is indeed a problem.
When Jia Mu met, she assumed that she had no objection and proposed a few candidates.
Jia Min frowned: "Why does it sound like they are all girls from small families? Eldest brother is also a first-class general and the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. He married a stepwife with such an identity. Wouldn't it be difficult for others to socialize in the future?" Ridiculous?"
Mother Jia glanced at Jia Min and sighed, "Where does the Rongguo Mansion need the boss's wife to go out to socialize? Now it's Wang's job to go out to socialize on behalf of the Rongguo Mansion."
It was precisely because of this that she didn't choose a stepmother with a good family background for the boss.
First of all, who knows that Jia She offended the emperor?No one would want to have anything to do with Jia Amnesty;
Secondly, Jia Amnesty's own conditions are not good, and he already has an eldest son under his knees;
Three, Wang Ziteng has been promoted all the way in recent years, and even the status of the Wang family has also risen. People with the same family status as Jia Amnesty can't hold down the Wang family at all, so why bother to enter the door to seek humiliation?
Only those families who have little influence in the court, do not understand the trend in the court, and want to win the wealth of the Rong Mansion, are willing to marry their daughters to Jia She.
"But," Jia Min looked at Jia's mother, "I've only heard that elder brother chooses a son-in-law for younger sister. How can there be a younger sister who chooses a wife for elder brother? Mother, aren't you embarrassing your daughter? If this marriage fails in the end, how can elder brother Don't want to hate me?"
Mother Jia waved her hand: "It's not that he doesn't know that not many people are willing to marry him."
Jia Min still declined.
Mother Jia persuaded a few more words, and seeing that Jia Min was unwilling to give her own opinion, she simply asked her to sit aside and slowly choose by herself.
Jia Min was a little at a loss, mother let her come here today just for Jia Amnesty's marriage?
Just when she was doubting her life, Mother Jia said suddenly: "Your second sister-in-law is very satisfied with these candidates, and she picked a 'good candidate' from them."
Jia Min turned her head: "Who?"
Jia's mother said lightly: "Xing's family daughter."
Jia Min didn't react. After Jia's mother handed over the information, she looked through it carefully before she understood what was going on with this patriarchal daughter.
The father of the daughter of the Xing family was also a fifth-rank official, but unfortunately he passed away early, and now only the widowed mother and four younger siblings are left.
The family background is not good, and there are still a few drags, but the personality is strong, and it seems quite suitable to be able to support a family after the death of his father and the illness of his mother.
only……
Jia Min didn't quite believe that Mrs. Wang would be so kind.
Mother Jia didn't believe it either, but she smiled: "I think this daughter of the Xing family is pretty good. If there are no accidents, we will appoint her."
"Mother?"
"I asked someone to inquire about it. Although the Xing family's daughter is not as good as it is said in the information, she only has a small problem of greed for money. In a family like ours, it is really not a big deal."
Jia Min was slightly speechless: "Mom, you have already made your decision, why bother to ask my opinion?"
The mandarin duck next to him came forward to pour tea for Jia Min, and said with a smile: "My aunt said this, as if the old lady is using this to amuse you. Don't misunderstand the old lady, she just wants to tell you Speak, and share your joy by the way."
Jia Min looked at Jia's mother, helplessly: "Isn't this matter still undecided?"
Mother Jia waved her hand and let Yuanyang back down: "If I didn't tell you in advance that my family plans to remarry your eldest brother, wouldn't you be angry with me if you found out later? Besides, calling you here today is not the only happy event that will be shared with you." you say."
Jia Min became interested: "Is there any good news?"
Jia's mother smiled: "It's not really good news, but your second sister-in-law is pregnant again, and she's already three months pregnant, so I wanted to tell you."
"Pregnant again?" Jia Min was surprised, "Second sister-in-law is really blessed."
Even if she doesn't like Wang, she is pregnant with her own grandson, so Mother Jia is naturally happy: "Since your second sister-in-law gave birth to Yuan Chun, her stomach hasn't moved, and now she is happy again at this age." , I don’t know why I’m so happy. After the Wang family knew about this, they even sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, and they also said that they would take Yuan Chun to the Wang family to stay for a while.”
Jia Min blinked: "Yuan Chun? Isn't she about to get engaged?"
According to the custom, a girl who has already been engaged will stay at home to embroider her wedding dress, and she cannot easily go out, let alone visit relatives for no reason.
Mother Jia smiled: "Isn't this not an engagement yet? It's good to take advantage of the time before the engagement to go to a relative's house and relax for a few days."
Take it easy?Isn't it easier to be at home than to go to a relative's house?
Jia Min frowned, always felt that what her mother said today was incoherent and confusing.
Jia Mu mentioned another thing: "Speaking of which, the Wang family has been very popular here since they took refuge in the third prince. Now they have made a lot of contributions, and their reputation on the front line is almost equal to that of the seventh prince who went with them. It is a wave of credit for the third prince."
Jia Min was at a loss: "Why did mother suddenly bring this up?"
Jia Mu glanced at her and said with a smile, "I just remembered it suddenly, and it's just a family affair with you. Is there a reason and effect when I talk to my daughter, and there must be a connection between the past and the future?"
Jia Min waved her hands again and again: "Of course there is no need. Mother can say whatever comes to mind. My daughter is listening carefully. But you also know that my daughter doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. Take what mother said."
Jia Mu smiled: "I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I am happy when I talk about it."
Jia Min leaned over to Mother Jia, took her hand and said with a smile, "Since mother doesn't mind playing the piano to the cow, my daughter is naturally willing to listen to mother talk to me more."
Mother Jia smiled and patted her hand: "You are the most filial and the most worry-free."
"Why did mother suddenly express such emotion?"
"I just feel that sometimes it's better to say clearly when you don't understand than to pretend you don't understand." Jia Mu smiled lightly, "The most fearful thing is that you think you know best when you don't understand, and then rely on your own half-knowledge to do things. , and finally brought disaster to the family."
Jia Min thought for a while, and asked, "But brother made you angry again?"
Jia Mu shook her head: "He is now drunk and dreaming of death, and he stays in the beauty's den with all his heart, so he won't pay attention to the outside world."
After speaking, she consciously made a slip of the tongue and said with a smile, "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. According to the news from the Zhen family, Zhen Guifei in the palace once said that the emperor is not in good health recently. He is a little more irritable than before. When you go back, remember to mention it to Ruhai to let him settle down in the court recently. Even if he has evidence of a crime in his hand, he must not come forward to impeach him at this moment. "
As it was about her husband, Jia Min immediately became nervous: "Is the emperor seriously ill?"
Jia Mu shook her head: "I'm at home all day, and there's no one in the hall who can talk. How can I know such a big event? I only know that the emperor is sick and in a bad mood."
Jia Min became serious: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely tell Ru Hai about this matter when I go back, and ask him to be more careful in the courtroom."
Mother Jia patted Jia Min's hand in relief: "That's good."
After talking about this matter, Mother Jia mentioned Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun brothers and sisters again, and said a lot of good things about them, both inside and out, as if she wanted Jia Min to agree to ask Jia Zhu to come to Lin Ruhai for advice.
Jia Min was a little puzzled: "I remember that Mrs. Wang hired a gentleman for Brother Zhu before, or was it the number one scholar?"
Mother Jia waved her hand: "He is a good champion, if he hadn't been in trouble, how could he go to a family like us to be a husband? A few days ago, he asked the second child for help, and after he got on the line with the Wang family, he has already gotten up to be an official."
Jia Min was a little embarrassed: "I want to agree, but I'm worried that Ruhai doesn't have time. Ruhai also said a few days ago that he would invite a Jinshi to be a teacher for the little Qilin. If he didn't have time, he would go to the battle himself Well, why did you say that?"
"However..." Jia Min thought that her mother was thinking about herself, and she was embarrassed to let her down because of Wang, "If Brother Zhu encounters any problems that cannot be solved on weekdays, write them down together, and take advantage of Ru Haixiu's help." It's not impossible to come to ask when Mu is in the house."
Mother Jia mentioned it casually, but now she has an unexpected joy and feels even happier.
Thinking about the news I provided before, I felt that my motherly heart had not been let down, so I pulled Jia Min to talk happily for a long time.
It was not until the three children returned to Rongqing Hall that the mother and daughter stopped talking.
Jia Min glanced outside the door, and found that the sun had already risen so high, she hurriedly got up and pulled Lin Liu to leave: "The two young ones at home are too noisy, so I won't stay any longer today, and my daughter will come when I'm free. Let's talk with you."
Mother Jia happily responded, "Remember to come here often."
When the mother and daughter parted, they both had smiles on their faces, and they didn't feel sad at all. On the contrary, they were full of anticipation for the next meeting.
However, unexpectedly, after this separation, the two of them failed to meet again for more than a year.
After Jia Min thought about it carefully, when Lin Ruhai came back, she really told Lin Ruhai every word Jia Mu said to her today——
She knew that she didn't understand the important affairs of the court, and her political sense was not as good as that of her mother and Lin Ruhai, so she simply used herself as a sounding board and told Ruhai exactly what her mother said, hoping that he could get what her mother really wanted to tell her. news.
Lin Ruhai really deserved to be a roll in the officialdom. After listening to the news, he contacted the news he knew, and immediately understood the benefits of the news that Jia Mu passed on to him.
He didn't say a word after hearing this, and then told Jia Min directly: "I understand everything the old lady wants to tell me. Madam doesn't need to know too much, just remember one thing."
"what?"
"In the next few days, remember to close the door tightly, and never open the door to people you don't know well. Even if you are familiar with people, if you don't trust them very much, remember not to talk too much with them, so as not to leak the news unconsciously."
Jia Min was anxious: "What happened, why are you so scared?"
Lin Ruhai swallowed, thinking of the emperor who was already seriously ill while sitting on the dragon chair a few days ago, he couldn't help murmuring: "Today, maybe it will change!"
And the one who ascended the throne in the end was probably the third prince who was supported by Wang Ziteng.
Wang family...
Jia Min was shocked: "It's, it's like this..."
Although not many people know about the news of the emperor's serious illness, it is definitely not rare.
Those who are well-informed and want to embrace the Buddha's feet at the last moment and fight for the wealth and wealth will take this opportunity to start activities.
Everyone stared in the direction of the palace, and silently counted the days in their hearts——
Our emperor, how much time will we have before dying?
However, no one expected that their emperor was very afraid of death. After learning from the imperial doctor that his condition required rest, he did not like other emperors, preferring to die on the dragon chair at the last moment of his life. I also don't want to let go of government affairs for recuperation.
One morning, the emperor suddenly summoned all the princes and ministers to the imperial study.
Then, the seat of Zen was given to the third prince.
He broke everyone's guesses and chose to retire behind the scenes to be the Supreme Emperor, while recuperating his body.
Then the new emperor ascended the throne and sealed off the harem.
Another draft, another official transfer...
During the handover of power between the two supreme leaders of the empire, chaos is most likely to occur. Not only the Lin family, but also the Rongguo Mansion are closed, and they dare not go out during this period.
Busy and busy, Jia Min didn't find a suitable door-to-door opportunity for half a year.
Then there is Emperor Kai Enke.
In order to catch up with this trip to Enke, Jia Zhu, who felt that his strength was not good, asked for leave from the Imperial College to offer wine, and went home to study hard behind closed doors.
Jia's mother was worried that the clutter in the house would distract Jia Zhu, so she deliberately let out words and cut off communication with the outside world.
It's a pity that Jia Zhu caught wind and cold before going to the examination room and missed Enke this time.
Although the township examination was a year later, it did not delay anything.But this illness hurt Jia Zhu's vitality. Not only did the illness last for several months before finally recovering, but Jia Zhu was still a little sluggish after recovering from the illness.
In addition, after returning home, when Jia Zheng talked to Jia Zhu, he intentionally or unintentionally blamed him for being careless, and even made himself sick before the exam.
On rare occasions, he would even speculate conspiratorially because of the rumors in the family that Jia Zhu simply made himself ill to avoid the exam because he felt that he would not pass the exam this time.
After listening too much, Jia Zhu's spirit became weaker and weaker.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yuanchun's marriage to attract the attention of everyone in Rongguo Mansion, barely giving Jia Zhu a chance to breathe.
Among the three candidates, Yuanchun chose to listen to his mother's advice, and finally got engaged to the Qian family, who was also from an honorable family.
Although Jia's mother was a little disappointed, she still chose to respect her opinion.
It's a pity that just one month before the marriage certificate was exchanged, the Qian family was confiscated by the emperor because they were involved in more than one death lawsuit.
Just when Jia's mother was trying to find another suitable marriage for Yuanchun, the Wang family sent news to Rongguo Mansion, saying that the Wang family had other arrangements for Yuanchun's marriage, and Jiamu's help was not needed for the time being.
After hearing this, Jia's mother was very angry, but the Wang family obeyed her brother's advice, and would rather offend Jia's mother than insist on not engaging Yuan Chun, waiting for the so-called "other arrangements" of the Wang family.
And Yuan Chun also chose to follow his mother's advice.
Jia's mother was so angry that she finally let go and chose to ignore it. She only said to Yuan Chun, "Just wait for the Wang family's arrangement, and don't regret it in the future!"
Yuan Chun knew that she had hurt Jia's mother's heart, but her mother was pregnant and was always angry with her father. She really didn't dare to make her mother angry at this time, so she could only accept the result silently.
After Jia Min knew about this, she wrote to Jia's mother to persuade Yuan Chun more, and analyzed the stakes with her.
Unexpectedly, Jia Mu only wrote one line in her heart——
Since she is willing, let her go for it by herself, after all, the Wang family will take care of her behind her.
Jia Min immediately understood that her mother had completely given up on Yuan Chun.
For a long time afterwards, the atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion was quite stagnant——
Not only are the servants of the house always cautious in their words and deeds, lest they offend someone if they are not careful, and provoke a beating and scolding, even Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty and others are trembling when they go to Rongqing Hall to pay their respects, and dare not Say one more word.
It wasn't until the child in Wang's womb was finally full-term that the atmosphere in the house changed.
Everyone is looking forward to Wang's birth to give birth to a son, so that Jia's mother will be happy.
After a day and night of struggle, Wang finally gave birth to a son in the early morning.
This is great news!
What surprised others even more was that the birth of the child was accompanied by a vision——
Born with jade, this is the best auspicious omen!
However, to everyone's surprise, Mother Jia was not only unhappy when she heard the news, but closed her eyes and pouted on the spot.
When Jia Min got the news, his eyes went dark, and he fell backwards.
Fortunately, the servant girl had quick eyes and quick hands, and she fell to the ground in advance and placed it under Jia Min, so she didn't fall directly to the ground.
After Jia Min woke up, she got the good news that she was pregnant again.
But when Mother Jia woke up, she cried bitterly on the spot: "Grandpa, why didn't you remember to take me with you when you left? What crime did I do in my previous life? Fucked by you unfilial things!"
Because of these words, the entire Rongguo Mansion was thrown into a commotion.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng stepped forward to comfort each other, but they didn't expect that one was stupid and couldn't figure out the point, and the other was clumsy and tongue-twisted. !
"You all get out of here—"
Who would have thought that how long this has passed before the people are gone.
Jia Min thought for a while and asked, "Do you know what kind of disease it is? If she is gone, what will happen to the child left behind? Who is going to take care of it?"
Jia Zhu shook her head: "I haven't returned home yet, so I don't know the arrangements at home. When I received the news, Aunt Li was already gone, and the family only said it was a sudden illness, so I didn't know about it."
Jia Min nodded: "It's nothing, this book has nothing to do with you."
Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "If my aunt has nothing else to do, I'll go home. I'm afraid the house is very busy now, so I have to go home and have a look."
"You go back first."
After Jia Zhu left, Lin Liu and Xiao Guiling came to the carriage with a child each.Ji Song followed behind, came over to say hello to Jia Min, then took his leave and left.
Aunt Li's status is low, as Jia Zhu said, there is no need for Jia Min, the head wife of the Lin family, to come to mourn her.
It's just that on the way home, there is always some uneasiness.
When Lin Ruhai came back, Jia Min told Lin Ruhai about the matter, and only got Lin Ruhai's words: "Let the servants prepare some memorial ceremony and send it to Rongguo Mansion, and we won't go there."
When Jia Min heard this, she could only let go of the discomfort in her heart.
I thought that since Jia Zhu had already told Jia Min, the Rongguo Mansion would not send anyone to inform about this matter.
Who would have thought that the Rongguo Mansion would still send someone over that night.
The identity of the person sent here is still different, and he is the most trusted mother Lai around Jiamu.
Moreover, listening to what Nanny Lai said, it seemed that Mother Jia wanted to let her go to Rongguo Mansion in person.
Although the purpose is not to express condolences, it is really strange to pass at this time.
Jia Min was at a loss, but thinking that it was his biological mother who asked for it, after discussing it with Lin Ruhai, he simply agreed.
Because Sheng Man still needs a few days to pack his luggage, Lin Liu is free these days.
After learning about this, Lin Liu's mind immediately recalled Aunt Li's arrogant and arrogant expression when they met for the last time even when facing herself, Jia Lian and the others.
After a moment of hesitation, she approached Jia Min: "Mother, I also want to go to Rongguo Mansion."
Jia Min was a little surprised: "You are a child, and you can't avoid this kind of occasion. Why do you still want to go to this kind of place? What if you are frightened?"
Lin Liu shook her head: "I won't be surprised."
Has she seen fewer dead people in the last days?Not only this kind of dead people who died of illness, but she has never seen all kinds of miserable corpses.
To Lin Liu, the corpse was really not scary.
Seeing her firm attitude, Jia Min couldn't help asking: "You have to give me a suitable reason, right? Otherwise, how dare I take you to the funeral?"
Lin Liu thought for a while: "I'm a little worried about Cousin Lian and Cousin Yingchun."
Looking at Lin Liu's expression, one could tell that she hadn't lost her mind when she said this reason.But she and Jia Lian did have a good relationship. After Jia Min hesitated, he finally nodded and agreed to Lin Liu's request.
Because it was just a concubine's funeral, the Rongguo Mansion just found a remote courtyard and set up a mourning hall, and did nothing else.
When Jia Min entered Rongguo Mansion, he detained Lin Liu by his side and didn't let her go anywhere.
After seeing Jia's mother, Jia Min was left in the Rongqing Hall to talk about the matter, and Lin Liu found an opportunity to leave the Rongqing Hall with Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng still remembered the younger sister Lin Liu, and couldn't help being curious: "Little Qilin, why are you here today?"
Lin Liu looked at Wang Xifeng: "I still want to ask you, your family is willing to let you come to Rongguo Mansion at this time?"
Wang Xifeng waved her hands nonchalantly: "I came to Rongguo Mansion a few days ago and stayed with my aunt for a while. Who would have thought that Aunt Li had a sudden illness and just showed symptoms, and the servant girls in the house didn't even have time to leave the courtyard. It's gone. It happened so fast, the Wang family probably didn't get the news yet."
Lin Liu was startled, died suddenly?
Jia Lian also added beside him: "After all, she is just an aunt, and the family will not hold a road sacrifice for her with great fanfare. Naturally, no old relatives and friends have been notified. From what the old lady said, it seems that after seven days, Aunt Li's mourning hall will be removed. , There is no need to wait until seven or seventy-nine days."
Lin Liu was a little puzzled: "If you don't care about Aunt Li, why do you have to set up a mourning hall for her?"
Rongguo Mansion doesn't even care about the children of concubines, let alone these concubines and aunts who were born as slaves. They set up a mourning hall for her and held a small funeral for her. It really doesn't look like Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Lian didn't understand, but just shook his head.
But Wang Xifeng knew some news: "My aunt ordered that Aunt Li finally gave birth to a daughter for Mr. Xi, so it's not easy for her to leave in a deserted manner."
Wang?This thing is getting weirder.
Lin Liu was still thinking about the strangeness of this matter, so Wang Xifeng who was next to Jia Lian rolled his eyes and said softly, "I'm a little curious, why don't we go to Aunt Li's mourning hall?"
Jia Lian was somewhat conflicted: "No need? Aunt Li is not a good person, so I don't want to offer incense to her."
Wang Xifeng snorted: "Who told you to burn incense for her? She is just a slave, how can you deserve incense for her? I am just curious about what the dead look like. I heard that they all have green faces and long fangs. It's just acquaintance."
Lin Liu stood by, wanting to go, but worried about breaking a taboo.
Wang Xifeng was very courageous, seeing Lin Liu moved, as if he had found an ally, he took Lin Liu's hand and walked towards the mourning hall: "I wanted to go and see it before, but Cousin Lian has been careful not to Dare to go, I said twice, but I can only give up. Now that the little Qilin is here, I can go over and take a look."
Lin Liu struggled a bit, but did not break free.
Thinking of going to the mourning hall to be more peaceful, not to wander around, and probably not breaking any taboos, he simply followed Wang Xifeng's strength and walked forward.
Jia Lian looked at this and then at that, and had no choice but to chase after her, and took the lead and walked in the front: "You two are both girls, and you are also timid. It's better to go behind."
The three children avoided the maids and servants in the mansion, trotted all the way, and soon came to the courtyard where Aunt Li's mourning hall was set up.
The yard was very deserted, except for the two gatekeepers, there was only a one-year-old child kneeling in front of the coffin to burn paper money.
Standing next to her was a woman who seemed to be Yingchun's nanny.
Seeing the three children coming in, the nanny's face suddenly became gloomy.But for some reason, until the three of them entered the mourning hall, the nanny didn't get angry at the three of them.
Although it is said that it is not fragrant, but since we are here, it is not easy to walk around and leave.
The three children walked to Yingchun, and each burned a handful of paper money for Aunt Li, which was considered as their own contribution.
When Lin Liu squatted on the ground and burned the paper, she turned her head to look at Yingchun.
Yingchun, who used to look chubby and had lively eyes, now looked numb, mechanically repeating the motion of burning paper like a puppet, her eyes were in a daze, and her lips were chapped.
Lin Liu was startled, and subconsciously wanted to drag him up.
The nanny who had been silent at the side stepped forward and waved Lin Liu's hand away: "Cousin girl, the second girl is doing her filial piety for her biological mother, so don't meddle in your own business."
Because of Lin Liu's actions, Yingchun's eyes glowed, but after the nanny spoke, her body trembled slightly in fright, and she quickly lowered her head to suppress the tears that swirled in her eyes.
Lin Liu was a little angry: "You are Yingchun's nanny? Didn't you see that her lips are all chapped? She is so young, you..."
"Little Qilin, stop talking." Jia Lian quickly reached out to hold Lin Liu.
Lin Liu was a little confused: "Jia Lian, what are you doing?"
Jia Lian said in a low voice: "After Aunt Li's accident, the old lady took pity on Yingchun, and specially ordered her not to keep watch, but to come here every day to burn paper money for Aunt Li for half an hour. It was she who cried and made noise , I want to come over to guard Aunt Li's spirit."
Lin Liu was stunned, and turned to look at Yingchun, only to find that she had clearly heard the conversation between herself and Jia Lian, but not only did she not move, she didn't even make a sound.
On the contrary, the nanny next to her had the same condescending arrogance on her face as Aunt Li had in her lifetime.
Lin Liu couldn't help wondering if she was really meddling in her own business?
After burning the paper money in her hand, Wang Xifeng clapped her hands and stood up. Without looking at Yingchun who was kneeling on the ground, she walked straight towards Aunt Li's coffin.
The nanny stretched out her hand to stop her, but relying on her petite stature, Wang Xifeng slipped directly under her armpit, walked to the coffin in three or two steps, and tiptoed on the mouth of the coffin to look inside.
Because the coffin had been suspended for less than seven days, the coffin was still open and not sealed.
As soon as Wang Xifeng poked her head, she met Aunt Li's remains. Unsurprisingly, she screamed in fright and sat down on the ground.
But soon, Wang Xifeng patted his chest and stood up from the ground.
She looked at Jia Lian with a little complacency: "It's not as scary as the grown-ups say, except that the face is a little paler and the lips are a little darker, isn't it the same as falling asleep?"
The nanny looked at Wang Xifeng coldly, but due to her status, she couldn't do anything to her.
Facing Yingchun's nanny, Jia Lian felt a little apprehensive, and quickly pulled her aside: "Restrain yourself, this is the mourning hall."
However, Lin Liu was attracted by Wang Xifeng's "lips are a little darker", she paused, took advantage of Jia Lian's speech, and the nanny's attention fell on the two of them, quietly walked over to look at Aunt Li's legacy.
And focused on Aunt Li's fingernails.
After reading it, her heart was beating wildly.
Worried about what the nanny would see, Lin Liu walked up to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and dragged them out of the mourning hall one by one, "Since they don't welcome us, let's leave quickly."
After hearing this, the nanny turned her gaze away from the three of them and continued to stare at Yingchun.
After walking a long way, Lin Liu let go of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and walked aside by herself.
If I read correctly, Aunt Li should have been poisoned to death.
Lin Liu made a big discovery here, and Jia Min didn't let the conversation go too far.
The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a while, so naturally they had to catch up on the past after getting together, and after a quarter of an hour, the two of them got to the point.
It turned out that Mother Jia sent her daughter to Rongguo Mansion this time because of Jia Amnesty's remarriage.
Jia Min was a little puzzled: "Isn't eldest brother always unwilling to remarry?"
Jia's mother shook her head: "It's not that Aunt Li is gone, even if he wants to restore Li's family, he has no chance, so he agreed to remarry."
Jia Min was a little embarrassed: "As soon as Aunt Li passed away, my mother made all the fuss about marrying my elder brother. Isn't that a bit bad?"
Why, you have to wait a month or two, right?
Mother Jia glared at her: "It's just a concubine's room. If it's gone, do you still have to ask your elder brother to keep filial piety for her? I've only heard of filial piety for wives in this world, but I haven't heard of a concubine being filial."
Jia Min blinked and smiled flatteringly at Mother Jia: "It's my daughter who is confused."
Jia Mu patted her hand angrily, and sighed: "You think I want to make an exception and set up a mourning hall for a concubine, but at the same time can't wait to marry your elder brother?
But you don't even think about it, how many years have your elder sister-in-law been gone.
Jia Zhen from the Ning Mansion married You Shi only two years after her wife's death, and married You Shi back home a year later, where's your elder brother?How long has it been? If he doesn't marry him again, who knows if he will be fooled by another concubine's house in a few days, and have the idea of strengthening the concubine's house again?
A family like ours, no matter how mischievous it is, we can't let people see the joke of taking a concubine as a wife. "
Jia Min thought for a while, but still disagreed: "After all, it's still too urgent. Why didn't mother wait a month before talking about it?"
Mother Jia shook her head: "I'm not in a hurry, but your elder brother's two children can't be left alone to take care of them. Before Mrs. Li was there, she could still take care of her own daughter. It doesn't take much energy for me to take care of Lian'er. But now Mrs. Li is gone, leaving behind a little girl in her early one year old, I am an old woman, where do I get the energy to take care of her?"
Jia Min was dumbfounded, this is indeed a problem.
When Jia Mu met, she assumed that she had no objection and proposed a few candidates.
Jia Min frowned: "Why does it sound like they are all girls from small families? Eldest brother is also a first-class general and the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. He married a stepwife with such an identity. Wouldn't it be difficult for others to socialize in the future?" Ridiculous?"
Mother Jia glanced at Jia Min and sighed, "Where does the Rongguo Mansion need the boss's wife to go out to socialize? Now it's Wang's job to go out to socialize on behalf of the Rongguo Mansion."
It was precisely because of this that she didn't choose a stepmother with a good family background for the boss.
First of all, who knows that Jia She offended the emperor?No one would want to have anything to do with Jia Amnesty;
Secondly, Jia Amnesty's own conditions are not good, and he already has an eldest son under his knees;
Three, Wang Ziteng has been promoted all the way in recent years, and even the status of the Wang family has also risen. People with the same family status as Jia Amnesty can't hold down the Wang family at all, so why bother to enter the door to seek humiliation?
Only those families who have little influence in the court, do not understand the trend in the court, and want to win the wealth of the Rong Mansion, are willing to marry their daughters to Jia She.
"But," Jia Min looked at Jia's mother, "I've only heard that elder brother chooses a son-in-law for younger sister. How can there be a younger sister who chooses a wife for elder brother? Mother, aren't you embarrassing your daughter? If this marriage fails in the end, how can elder brother Don't want to hate me?"
Mother Jia waved her hand: "It's not that he doesn't know that not many people are willing to marry him."
Jia Min still declined.
Mother Jia persuaded a few more words, and seeing that Jia Min was unwilling to give her own opinion, she simply asked her to sit aside and slowly choose by herself.
Jia Min was a little at a loss, mother let her come here today just for Jia Amnesty's marriage?
Just when she was doubting her life, Mother Jia said suddenly: "Your second sister-in-law is very satisfied with these candidates, and she picked a 'good candidate' from them."
Jia Min turned her head: "Who?"
Jia's mother said lightly: "Xing's family daughter."
Jia Min didn't react. After Jia's mother handed over the information, she looked through it carefully before she understood what was going on with this patriarchal daughter.
The father of the daughter of the Xing family was also a fifth-rank official, but unfortunately he passed away early, and now only the widowed mother and four younger siblings are left.
The family background is not good, and there are still a few drags, but the personality is strong, and it seems quite suitable to be able to support a family after the death of his father and the illness of his mother.
only……
Jia Min didn't quite believe that Mrs. Wang would be so kind.
Mother Jia didn't believe it either, but she smiled: "I think this daughter of the Xing family is pretty good. If there are no accidents, we will appoint her."
"Mother?"
"I asked someone to inquire about it. Although the Xing family's daughter is not as good as it is said in the information, she only has a small problem of greed for money. In a family like ours, it is really not a big deal."
Jia Min was slightly speechless: "Mom, you have already made your decision, why bother to ask my opinion?"
The mandarin duck next to him came forward to pour tea for Jia Min, and said with a smile: "My aunt said this, as if the old lady is using this to amuse you. Don't misunderstand the old lady, she just wants to tell you Speak, and share your joy by the way."
Jia Min looked at Jia's mother, helplessly: "Isn't this matter still undecided?"
Mother Jia waved her hand and let Yuanyang back down: "If I didn't tell you in advance that my family plans to remarry your eldest brother, wouldn't you be angry with me if you found out later? Besides, calling you here today is not the only happy event that will be shared with you." you say."
Jia Min became interested: "Is there any good news?"
Jia's mother smiled: "It's not really good news, but your second sister-in-law is pregnant again, and she's already three months pregnant, so I wanted to tell you."
"Pregnant again?" Jia Min was surprised, "Second sister-in-law is really blessed."
Even if she doesn't like Wang, she is pregnant with her own grandson, so Mother Jia is naturally happy: "Since your second sister-in-law gave birth to Yuan Chun, her stomach hasn't moved, and now she is happy again at this age." , I don’t know why I’m so happy. After the Wang family knew about this, they even sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, and they also said that they would take Yuan Chun to the Wang family to stay for a while.”
Jia Min blinked: "Yuan Chun? Isn't she about to get engaged?"
According to the custom, a girl who has already been engaged will stay at home to embroider her wedding dress, and she cannot easily go out, let alone visit relatives for no reason.
Mother Jia smiled: "Isn't this not an engagement yet? It's good to take advantage of the time before the engagement to go to a relative's house and relax for a few days."
Take it easy?Isn't it easier to be at home than to go to a relative's house?
Jia Min frowned, always felt that what her mother said today was incoherent and confusing.
Jia Mu mentioned another thing: "Speaking of which, the Wang family has been very popular here since they took refuge in the third prince. Now they have made a lot of contributions, and their reputation on the front line is almost equal to that of the seventh prince who went with them. It is a wave of credit for the third prince."
Jia Min was at a loss: "Why did mother suddenly bring this up?"
Jia Mu glanced at her and said with a smile, "I just remembered it suddenly, and it's just a family affair with you. Is there a reason and effect when I talk to my daughter, and there must be a connection between the past and the future?"
Jia Min waved her hands again and again: "Of course there is no need. Mother can say whatever comes to mind. My daughter is listening carefully. But you also know that my daughter doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. Take what mother said."
Jia Mu smiled: "I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I am happy when I talk about it."
Jia Min leaned over to Mother Jia, took her hand and said with a smile, "Since mother doesn't mind playing the piano to the cow, my daughter is naturally willing to listen to mother talk to me more."
Mother Jia smiled and patted her hand: "You are the most filial and the most worry-free."
"Why did mother suddenly express such emotion?"
"I just feel that sometimes it's better to say clearly when you don't understand than to pretend you don't understand." Jia Mu smiled lightly, "The most fearful thing is that you think you know best when you don't understand, and then rely on your own half-knowledge to do things. , and finally brought disaster to the family."
Jia Min thought for a while, and asked, "But brother made you angry again?"
Jia Mu shook her head: "He is now drunk and dreaming of death, and he stays in the beauty's den with all his heart, so he won't pay attention to the outside world."
After speaking, she consciously made a slip of the tongue and said with a smile, "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. According to the news from the Zhen family, Zhen Guifei in the palace once said that the emperor is not in good health recently. He is a little more irritable than before. When you go back, remember to mention it to Ruhai to let him settle down in the court recently. Even if he has evidence of a crime in his hand, he must not come forward to impeach him at this moment. "
As it was about her husband, Jia Min immediately became nervous: "Is the emperor seriously ill?"
Jia Mu shook her head: "I'm at home all day, and there's no one in the hall who can talk. How can I know such a big event? I only know that the emperor is sick and in a bad mood."
Jia Min became serious: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely tell Ru Hai about this matter when I go back, and ask him to be more careful in the courtroom."
Mother Jia patted Jia Min's hand in relief: "That's good."
After talking about this matter, Mother Jia mentioned Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun brothers and sisters again, and said a lot of good things about them, both inside and out, as if she wanted Jia Min to agree to ask Jia Zhu to come to Lin Ruhai for advice.
Jia Min was a little puzzled: "I remember that Mrs. Wang hired a gentleman for Brother Zhu before, or was it the number one scholar?"
Mother Jia waved her hand: "He is a good champion, if he hadn't been in trouble, how could he go to a family like us to be a husband? A few days ago, he asked the second child for help, and after he got on the line with the Wang family, he has already gotten up to be an official."
Jia Min was a little embarrassed: "I want to agree, but I'm worried that Ruhai doesn't have time. Ruhai also said a few days ago that he would invite a Jinshi to be a teacher for the little Qilin. If he didn't have time, he would go to the battle himself Well, why did you say that?"
"However..." Jia Min thought that her mother was thinking about herself, and she was embarrassed to let her down because of Wang, "If Brother Zhu encounters any problems that cannot be solved on weekdays, write them down together, and take advantage of Ru Haixiu's help." It's not impossible to come to ask when Mu is in the house."
Mother Jia mentioned it casually, but now she has an unexpected joy and feels even happier.
Thinking about the news I provided before, I felt that my motherly heart had not been let down, so I pulled Jia Min to talk happily for a long time.
It was not until the three children returned to Rongqing Hall that the mother and daughter stopped talking.
Jia Min glanced outside the door, and found that the sun had already risen so high, she hurriedly got up and pulled Lin Liu to leave: "The two young ones at home are too noisy, so I won't stay any longer today, and my daughter will come when I'm free. Let's talk with you."
Mother Jia happily responded, "Remember to come here often."
When the mother and daughter parted, they both had smiles on their faces, and they didn't feel sad at all. On the contrary, they were full of anticipation for the next meeting.
However, unexpectedly, after this separation, the two of them failed to meet again for more than a year.
After Jia Min thought about it carefully, when Lin Ruhai came back, she really told Lin Ruhai every word Jia Mu said to her today——
She knew that she didn't understand the important affairs of the court, and her political sense was not as good as that of her mother and Lin Ruhai, so she simply used herself as a sounding board and told Ruhai exactly what her mother said, hoping that he could get what her mother really wanted to tell her. news.
Lin Ruhai really deserved to be a roll in the officialdom. After listening to the news, he contacted the news he knew, and immediately understood the benefits of the news that Jia Mu passed on to him.
He didn't say a word after hearing this, and then told Jia Min directly: "I understand everything the old lady wants to tell me. Madam doesn't need to know too much, just remember one thing."
"what?"
"In the next few days, remember to close the door tightly, and never open the door to people you don't know well. Even if you are familiar with people, if you don't trust them very much, remember not to talk too much with them, so as not to leak the news unconsciously."
Jia Min was anxious: "What happened, why are you so scared?"
Lin Ruhai swallowed, thinking of the emperor who was already seriously ill while sitting on the dragon chair a few days ago, he couldn't help murmuring: "Today, maybe it will change!"
And the one who ascended the throne in the end was probably the third prince who was supported by Wang Ziteng.
Wang family...
Jia Min was shocked: "It's, it's like this..."
Although not many people know about the news of the emperor's serious illness, it is definitely not rare.
Those who are well-informed and want to embrace the Buddha's feet at the last moment and fight for the wealth and wealth will take this opportunity to start activities.
Everyone stared in the direction of the palace, and silently counted the days in their hearts——
Our emperor, how much time will we have before dying?
However, no one expected that their emperor was very afraid of death. After learning from the imperial doctor that his condition required rest, he did not like other emperors, preferring to die on the dragon chair at the last moment of his life. I also don't want to let go of government affairs for recuperation.
One morning, the emperor suddenly summoned all the princes and ministers to the imperial study.
Then, the seat of Zen was given to the third prince.
He broke everyone's guesses and chose to retire behind the scenes to be the Supreme Emperor, while recuperating his body.
Then the new emperor ascended the throne and sealed off the harem.
Another draft, another official transfer...
During the handover of power between the two supreme leaders of the empire, chaos is most likely to occur. Not only the Lin family, but also the Rongguo Mansion are closed, and they dare not go out during this period.
Busy and busy, Jia Min didn't find a suitable door-to-door opportunity for half a year.
Then there is Emperor Kai Enke.
In order to catch up with this trip to Enke, Jia Zhu, who felt that his strength was not good, asked for leave from the Imperial College to offer wine, and went home to study hard behind closed doors.
Jia's mother was worried that the clutter in the house would distract Jia Zhu, so she deliberately let out words and cut off communication with the outside world.
It's a pity that Jia Zhu caught wind and cold before going to the examination room and missed Enke this time.
Although the township examination was a year later, it did not delay anything.But this illness hurt Jia Zhu's vitality. Not only did the illness last for several months before finally recovering, but Jia Zhu was still a little sluggish after recovering from the illness.
In addition, after returning home, when Jia Zheng talked to Jia Zhu, he intentionally or unintentionally blamed him for being careless, and even made himself sick before the exam.
On rare occasions, he would even speculate conspiratorially because of the rumors in the family that Jia Zhu simply made himself ill to avoid the exam because he felt that he would not pass the exam this time.
After listening too much, Jia Zhu's spirit became weaker and weaker.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yuanchun's marriage to attract the attention of everyone in Rongguo Mansion, barely giving Jia Zhu a chance to breathe.
Among the three candidates, Yuanchun chose to listen to his mother's advice, and finally got engaged to the Qian family, who was also from an honorable family.
Although Jia's mother was a little disappointed, she still chose to respect her opinion.
It's a pity that just one month before the marriage certificate was exchanged, the Qian family was confiscated by the emperor because they were involved in more than one death lawsuit.
Just when Jia's mother was trying to find another suitable marriage for Yuanchun, the Wang family sent news to Rongguo Mansion, saying that the Wang family had other arrangements for Yuanchun's marriage, and Jiamu's help was not needed for the time being.
After hearing this, Jia's mother was very angry, but the Wang family obeyed her brother's advice, and would rather offend Jia's mother than insist on not engaging Yuan Chun, waiting for the so-called "other arrangements" of the Wang family.
And Yuan Chun also chose to follow his mother's advice.
Jia's mother was so angry that she finally let go and chose to ignore it. She only said to Yuan Chun, "Just wait for the Wang family's arrangement, and don't regret it in the future!"
Yuan Chun knew that she had hurt Jia's mother's heart, but her mother was pregnant and was always angry with her father. She really didn't dare to make her mother angry at this time, so she could only accept the result silently.
After Jia Min knew about this, she wrote to Jia's mother to persuade Yuan Chun more, and analyzed the stakes with her.
Unexpectedly, Jia Mu only wrote one line in her heart——
Since she is willing, let her go for it by herself, after all, the Wang family will take care of her behind her.
Jia Min immediately understood that her mother had completely given up on Yuan Chun.
For a long time afterwards, the atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion was quite stagnant——
Not only are the servants of the house always cautious in their words and deeds, lest they offend someone if they are not careful, and provoke a beating and scolding, even Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty and others are trembling when they go to Rongqing Hall to pay their respects, and dare not Say one more word.
It wasn't until the child in Wang's womb was finally full-term that the atmosphere in the house changed.
Everyone is looking forward to Wang's birth to give birth to a son, so that Jia's mother will be happy.
After a day and night of struggle, Wang finally gave birth to a son in the early morning.
This is great news!
What surprised others even more was that the birth of the child was accompanied by a vision——
Born with jade, this is the best auspicious omen!
However, to everyone's surprise, Mother Jia was not only unhappy when she heard the news, but closed her eyes and pouted on the spot.
When Jia Min got the news, his eyes went dark, and he fell backwards.
Fortunately, the servant girl had quick eyes and quick hands, and she fell to the ground in advance and placed it under Jia Min, so she didn't fall directly to the ground.
After Jia Min woke up, she got the good news that she was pregnant again.
But when Mother Jia woke up, she cried bitterly on the spot: "Grandpa, why didn't you remember to take me with you when you left? What crime did I do in my previous life? Fucked by you unfilial things!"
Because of these words, the entire Rongguo Mansion was thrown into a commotion.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng stepped forward to comfort each other, but they didn't expect that one was stupid and couldn't figure out the point, and the other was clumsy and tongue-twisted. !
"You all get out of here—"
