Six Fate Changes: The Zhen Family Stays in Beijing

Naturally, the wives in the front didn't know about the little girls in the back, but Mrs. Wang asked, "Master Zhen has been in Jinling for so many years, what did the emperor say when he came to Beijing?"

Mrs. Zhen took a sip of tea and said, "What else can I say, it's nothing more than praise and praise. I guess this time I will return to Jinling in my original position. After all, the foundation of our family is there, and it cannot be broken." In Jinling they The Zhen family is the first-class family, even if Jia Shi Wang Xue originally came from Jinling, it is still not as good as their Zhen family's status in Jinling. "Are.It's just that Lan'er's matter still needs to be discussed with the master.

"That's right. After all, Master Zhen is the emperor's most important courtier." Wang looked at Jia Min, saw her expressionless face, and said, "It's just that the emperor will reopen the draft next year. I'll look at your elder sister. It's also age-appropriate, I don't know what kind of charter Mr. Zhen is?"

"Lan'er is delicate, I hope she will take care of her again." Mrs. Zhen glanced at Mrs. Wang without showing any signs and said, "I heard that the girl from Mrs. Lin's family is favored by the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager. Greetings from the palace, and those from Mrs. Li's family, Mrs. Zhuang's family, and Mrs. Wang's family?"

Jia Min raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Zhen, and said, "It's just that the girl's temperament is similar to that of the Queen Mother."

Madam Li followed suit and said, "The empress is the aunt of our girl, that's why she was summoned into the palace." Madam Wang also echoed Madam Li's words.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "Our family's Rouer is docile, probably that's why the Queen Mother likes it. I don't know if Mrs. Zhen took two sisters to pay respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager?"

The daughter of a minister's family is not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned by the central palace. Even the Zhen family can't violate this rule.The Empress Dowager never liked the Zhen family, and it was not suitable for the Empress to see guests, so Mrs. Zhen just sat with the Empress Dowager for a while and then left. There was no chance of bringing her two daughters into the palace.

Hearing Mrs. Zhuang's question, Mrs. Zhen paused slightly when she held the teacup in her hand. Although it was a short moment, everyone present saw it.She put down the teacup and said: "The queen mother is having a baby now. The queen mother is too hot and doesn't want to disturb her. Why should I disobey the queen mother's order? Let alone the girl from the Zhen family, Mrs. Zhuang's family." Didn't the girl go to the palace these days?"

Jia Min bowed her head silently, the smile on her mouth almost couldn't be suppressed.

"Sister Zhuang is also strange today. She asked something that shouldn't be asked." On the way back home, Lin Daiyu took a sip of sour plum juice and told Jia Min what happened in the backyard of Zhen's house today. It's not that Sister Zhuang can intervene, but I have lost face in front of Sister Zhen's family."

Thinking of Mrs. Zhuang's words today, Jia Min also felt that something was wrong, but she still instructed: "Our family has never had any contact with the Zhuang family and the Zhen family. You just keep it in your heart when you hear it these years, and don't talk about it with others. After all, the Zhen family will return to the south soon, if there are any more posts like this, you can say that Tian'er is not feeling well after warming up, so you don't need to go."

It's a pity that Jia Min's prediction was wrong. As soon as Lin Ruhai returned to the mansion, she called her and her two children, and said: "The emperor has issued a clear decree. Master Zhen Ying Jiazhen is going to stay in Beijing, and he has been awarded the official position of Minister of Industry. .”

Jia Min took a low breath, the Zhen family never worked in Beijing in the previous life, has it changed in this life?I just finished talking today that the Zhen family will return to the south soon, but the emperor didn't want Zhen Yingjia to occupy Jinling anymore, so he was directly transferred back to Beijing to serve.Minister of the Ministry of Industry, from a first-rank official position, there are four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue in the capital, this time the emperor wants to take it all in one place?

"Don't we want to maintain a certain relationship with the Zhen family in the future?" Lin Jinshu knew that the Zhen family had a son, "I've heard of that Zhen Baoyu, but Lord Zhen didn't bring him to Beijing this time, just because he was afraid that some people would meet in the future." chance."

"Our family and the Zhen family have always been in contact with each other for face, and there is no need to deepen our friendship." Jia Min quickly came to his senses, "It's just that the Zhen family stays in Beijing, and Jinling..."

"The emperor is free to arrange." Lin Ruhai said, "The Lin family's ancestral home is in Gusu, and they have never had any friendship with the Zhen family, so this time there is no need to congratulate the Zhen family with great fanfare, just maintain a normal relationship."

"I know." Jia Min nodded.

In September, all the belongings of the Zhen family were transported from Jinling to the capital.Because Lin Jinshu was going to take the imperial examination during this time, Jia Min also took advantage of this to push the invitation from Mrs. Zhen.Waiting for Lin Jinshu to enter the palace examination unimpeded, Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered people to cook chicken soup every day to replenish Lin Jinshu's body--the few days in the Gongyuan made Lin Jinshu sick from boredom, although It was just a little cold and healed up quickly, but Jia Min still had lingering fears.

"Ma'am, the Rongguo Mansion has a post." Cui Liu handed over a big red and gold invitation card, which still had a faint fragrance.

Jia Min opened it and saw that it was Jia's mother who invited Mrs. Zhen's family, Zhen Lan and Zhen He to the house, and wanted Jia Min to bring Lin Daiyu to the house to talk with her.Jia Min hadn't received any post from Rongguo Mansion for more than a month since the family came to have a banquet on Jia Mu's birthday on the third day of August. Post, or meet with the Zhen family.

Cui Liu saw that Jia Min was reluctant to go, so she said, "Madam, is she going to refuse? That day is the day when the uncle will go to the palace examination, Madam is better to stay at home and wait for the news."

Jia Min glanced at Cui Liu, took out the letter paper, and said: "You are right, it is related to my son's future, so I should take care of it more." After saying that, he wrote down the reasons for his refusal, and then Sealed the letterhead and handed it to Cui Liu, "Let someone send this to Rongguo Mansion." I don't know when my grandson will take the palace examination, and he said that Jinshu is talented, so he should be asked to keep in touch with Baoyu more.My mother's forgetfulness is getting bigger and bigger.But no matter what, grandsons and grandsons, how can they compare with her beloved Jia Baoyu?

"Yes." Cui Liu took the letter paper, "When the servant came in, I saw the uncle going out."

"Being able to enter the palace examination, Jinshu has to thank the teachers." Although these adults did not give Lin Jinshu any advice, but after all, they are the examiners in charge of the examination in the Gongyuan. After delivering the letter, go to Yu'er to have a look, and ask her to come and have dinner with me after class."

"Yes."

It was already sunset when Lin Daiyu came.Today it was only their mother and daughter who had dinner together, Lin Ruhai invited his former friends out to socialize, and Lin Jinshu went to Yuchi's house.The dinner dishes are all made of vegetable oil, which tastes more refreshing than meat oil. Two people have three dishes and one stew, which is simple.

"I heard from Aunt Cui Tao that my grandfather's family posted another post for our family today?" Lin Daiyu wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief after rinsing her mouth, and asked, "But what's the matter?"

"It's just that your grandmother invited Mrs. Zhen's family and the two girls of the Zhen family. She just wanted us to go over and have a talk, but mother has already declined." Jia Min asked someone to bring fruit after dinner, "It was your brother who ended up that day. On the day of the imperial examination, it is better for us to wait for the news in the mansion. This apple is crispy and refreshing, try it."

Lin Daiyu scooped up a piece, took a bite and said, "I thought my grandmother always loved me and my brother, and she often sent things here on weekdays, but I don't want to forget the day when my brother took the palace exam." When she said this, her face was turbulent Don't be surprised, "Mother should also eat an orange, sweet and sour is my favorite."

Even Yu'er could tell that the Jia family didn't care about these two grandchildren.Jia Min said: "You know it yourself. It's your maternal ancestor's family. How can it compare to the caring and considerate care of your family?" Yes, Jia Min wished to kill all those people one by one, "Your grandfather's family and the Zhen family are family friends, and our Lin family cannot compare."

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Min and said, "My daughter knows." During this period of time, her mother always referred to her grandfather's family as "Jia's family" or "Rongguo Mansion". feelings.Thinking of Jia Baoyu who only knew how to make rouge in Rongguo Mansion, and thinking of Jia Lan, who was obviously the eldest son and grandson, living in a separate corner and not being taken seriously, Lin Daiyu also understood why her mother was so indifferent.

"It's you, what lessons did Master Guan teach you today?" Jia Min also studied since she was a child, and her father didn't pay much attention to the saying that "a woman's ignorance is virtue", so she invited all the masters she should have. .

"Today, the master taught me the Four Books for Women." Lin Daiyu replied, "In the afternoon, I learned how to make a net. It turns out that it is extremely difficult to make a net. If the strength of the hand is wrong, the whole net will not look good. "

"That's how it is, you just need to practice more to master the strength." Jia Min looked at the two primrose-colored zippers brought by Swift, "It's not easy to make it like this for the first time. Master Guan taught you Do you understand everything?"

"Understood." Lin Daiyu is smart at first, and Master Guan also explained in easy-to-understand words when he lectured, so she naturally listened. .I just looked at my elder brother and my father's handwriting, and I thought they were beautiful, but I don't know where I got those copybooks from?"

"What's the problem? Just ask your father and brother when you have time." Jia Min laughed.

Before the mother and daughter could say a few words, someone came from outside, saying that the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion had come to the door.Jia Min frowned slightly, and asked Cui Liu to invite her in.
