Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

It is no longer a day or two for Jia's mother to decide to send Yuan Chun into the palace. She told Jia Jing that her original intention was to let Ning'an Hou Mansion help Yuan Chun, but she was angrily reprimanded by Jia Jing instead.

Even if Jia Jing was not scolding Jia Mu, Jia Mu felt uncomfortable. After all, it was Jia Mu's intention to enter the palace in Yuanchun.

Jia Mu has been the old lord since Jia Daishan left, no one dared to disobey her, now she is suddenly refuted by Jia Jing, thinking fiercely in her heart that Jia Jing disrespects the elders, is it just relying on the high title of the next mansion, waiting for Yuanchun to come out He has become a concubine, and he regrets it.

It's a pity that Jia Yuanchun's entry into the palace was not all smooth sailing. As Jia Jing said, only the daughters of officials with a rank of four or above can participate in the general election.

Even Jia Jing and his son had thought that Jia's mother might do this, but when the incident came out, they were still a little cold. Even if they entered the palace in the name of choosing a female envoy, it was a minor election. Yuan Chun was her granddaughter. How could Mother Jia be willing to do this, and Mother Jia really didn't care about the face of the Jia family at all.

This selection of female officials to enter the palace is not a bad thing in itself, even ordinary small officials and ordinary people send their daughters to the palace.

But after all, this is a gamble, a bet that her daughter will win the eyes of the master after entering the palace, and then take advantage of the opportunity of saving a layer of gold in the palace to be married to the son of the family.

Being accused of getting married in this way is a very decent thing for the two married families, and often the woman will marry a lot higher than her original situation.And the female officials who come out of the palace are actually very popular in the ladies' circle. For those who come out of the palace, there is no need to pick on the rules and etiquette. Even if it is really bad, no one would dare to pick.

But if you lose the bet, even if you leave the palace safely at the age of 25, the best destiny is to marry into a family and be the second wife, or you can only be a lady or a nanny.

Therefore, it is rare for a truly decent family to send their daughters to be selected as envoys. It is like Li's family background was just a family. If she hadn't met You Wende, her fate would not be much better than the rest.

Even though the Jia family is no longer what it used to be, it cannot be said to be in decline. You must know that Jia Jing, the patriarch, is now a third-rank official or a marquis, and the West Mansion is also a general's mansion. An uncle of a first-rank general, and also the granddaughter of the late Rong Guogong, the daughter of the most prominent second wife in Jia's capital.

But Jia's mother only saw the glory that Yuanchun's entry into the palace might bring, and she didn't think about the impact on the reputation of the Jia family and the reputation of the daughter of the Jia family.

Jia Jing was really angry at this time. He is the head of the Jia family and has a very strong sense of honor for the family. Some things are one thing to think about, but another thing to actually happen. I'm afraid that the aunt on the table may not have much affection left.

Even Jia Zhen was a little dissatisfied at this time. Originally, when he wanted to come, Jia's mother knew that Yuan Chun would not be able to participate in the general election. Seeing the few houses he thought were not in danger, he didn't expect Jia's mother to let Yuan Chun choose directly.

It really stomped the Jia family's face on the ground. If I knew it, I might as well stop it. His daughter is already in her teens, and she will be married in two years. She is his eldest daughter. If it is because of this Things were delayed, and he had nowhere to cry.

No matter how much Jia Zhen hated her, she finally went out to work again, and secretly contacted the elders of the generation in Beijing.

That's why Yuan Chun entered the palace, and a group of angry clan elders ushered in General Shenwei's mansion, but they were all elders, and finally made trouble in the clan.

"I don't know that General Shenwei's mansion is going to the point where it can't go on, and I will send my daughter to the palace to serve people."

"Jia Amnesty, please tell me exactly what you think, or Brother Zheng'er will tell you that she is your daughter, right?"

"Our family is about to say goodbye to the girl at home, and you just come out like this, so you can't see what's going on with the Jia family?"

A group of elders said to each other, Jia She and Jia Zheng couldn't talk at all, Jia Zheng had no choice but to look at Jia's mother pitifully, while Jia She was depressed in his heart, it was obviously the matter of the second wife, although he also wanted to borrow some money. It means that Yuan Chun is not his daughter after all.

Looking at the crowd, Jia's mother knew that she had to speak. These were all elders, and it was not easy for Zheng'er to refute.

"What's the matter? It's my wife's idea to let Yuanchun enter the palace, what? Yuanchun will be promising in the future, you don't want to follow?"

After all, Mother Jia is still a super-grade imperial order, adding the meaning in the words, everyone is quiet for a while, but not everyone agrees with her.

Jia Dairu spoke out at this time. If Jia Dairu had returned home now, he was only a low-rank official before, but he was the earliest scholar in the Jia family, and he even had a Jinshi and the son of a scholar. Jia Lian has also passed away now Officials up to the sixth rank, and then Jia Dairu was originally in the Imperial College, a noble place, even if the official rank is low, he can still take it out, and Jia Zhu went to the Imperial College, and he was taken care of a lot in the past two years, so he has the confidence to speak .

"Sister-in-law, I didn't want to say more, but sister-in-law, you have really surpassed! Sister-in-law, Yuan Chun is the daughter of my Jia family. You can think that she will bring glory to the Jia family when she is successful. Why would you not think that she will be chosen as a small choice to enter the palace?" What kind of stains did my Jia family bring? It’s just that we haven’t got it, but there’s been a lot of bad luck. The daughters of the family have already been ordered, and now they’re all yellow.”

Jia Dairu looked at Mother Jia who was about to speak angrily, and said again: "It's just like you said that Yuan Chun became a concubine, so what benefits can we get? There are many concubines in the palace. Why didn't I see that family became so honorable when it became a concubine?" Well, that's not right, yes, it can be honored, at least maybe Zheng'er's biological father can be mentioned anyway, and you, an old lady, can go out and say that she is the grandmother of the empress, but what about us, trade the reputation of our whole family? The glory of your house."

"How can you say that? When Yuanchun is successful, I will tell her to let her promote the clansmen."

"She promotes, who will be promoted? Jing'er is the patriarch and is now an official of the third rank. You can make him a first rank at once. You can make them all become officials in our clan? You can just say that the saint is a fool!"

"Hmm, Uncle Tang, be careful what you say, be careful what you say." Seeing that Jia Dairu was going too far, Jia Jing hurriedly said.

Jia Dairu has always given Jia Jing face, so he clasped his fist at Jia Jing, "Don't blame the patriarch, the old man is confused." Fu turned to Jia's mother again and said, "Even if my Jia family no longer has a family of two males, it is still a decent family now. Turning to Wen Road is also a prosperous place. Now there are four Jinshi in the family, and several scholars. All promising families do not do their best to help, not to mention other families. My family is an example. Juren, if Dai Yi's family is not good at studying, they will be arranged to take care of the family property in the clan. Why is it so bad in the clan now that you want your daughter-in-law to step on the Jia family's face and enter the palace to fight for wealth?"

After Jia Dairu's words fell, a group of clan elders started arguing again, just like what Jia Dairu said, whether Jia Yuanchun will be good or not in the future will not bring them much benefit, but the disadvantages can be seen now, and the Jia family has always been good Face, now it is more literary, not to mention how much ink is in the stomach, but the literati's nobility and face are all understood.

"This...I, I didn't want...I..."

"Sister-in-law, I don't need to say any more. She'er, you are the head of General Shenwei's mansion, and Zheng'er, you are Yuan girl's father. Tell me, what are you going to do about this?"

Seeing Jia Dairu bombarding Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, he still couldn't help but say: "It's just that my family is wrong about this. My old lady is annoyed by everyone, so why don't you just treat me as a face?"

Jia Dairu's eyes sharpened, "Sister-in-law, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"how?"

"Sister-in-law, the reason why you are sitting today is because you are Jia's wife. The reason why you are honorable is that my elder brother gave you everything in exchange for it. The honor that my elder brother sacrificed his life for is not for you to step on my Jia family with airs. There is a saying, "Once you marry, obey your husband, and when your husband dies, obey your son." From now on, it is better for you to take care of the external affairs less." As soon as this remark did not mention how Jia Mu trembled with anger, everyone in the Jia family But it’s very agreeable, isn’t it? Isn’t Jia Muniu because she is a super-ranked order? After all, Jia Daishan invited her back for this order. As the wife of the Jia family, she does not think about the Jia family. What is the reason for the imperial order to suppress the Jia family?

Listening to all the uncles denouncing Jiamu, Jia Amnesty was rarely distracted, thinking about Jia Dairu's words, he is General Shenwei and the head of General Shenwei's mansion, so no matter who caused the trouble, he must be blamed in the end Yes, because he is the head of the family, he is the one with the highest title in the mansion, and he is the one with the highest official position.

The scene was chaotic at first, but suddenly a servant came to report, Jia Jing signaled everyone to be quiet, and ordered the servant to answer, only to hear the servant say: "Master, the news just came that the eldest lady of the second room of the West Mansion and the two maids were arrested together. Point it out to Duke Qi.”

After saying a word, Jia's mother was immediately dumbfounded. Duke Qi is already in his thirties, and he already had a concubine and heir, and he pointed to the past with the maid. No more, I'm afraid it's a girl in the house, so Jia's mother "fainted" because she couldn't even talk about it.Jia Zheng is also stupid

It was Jia She who came to his senses, and rarely showed the air of being a family member, and said, "Uncles, you are not upset, this is something wrong with our government, and I am here to make amends to you all. My Jia family took a literary route and wasted pen and ink. My West Mansion is willing to donate ten thousand taels to buy paper, pens and ink for family studies, but now that things have come to an end, I am afraid that we will have to trouble the patriarch to come forward for the matter of Yuan girl."

Jia Jing rarely looked at Jia Amnesty with satisfaction, and said: "After all, she is the daughter of my Jia family. I will come forward. Although the matter is hard to change, I will act for her to have a serious name. My brother is only at the fifth rank now, so it's hard to say what kind of position he is."

"It's from our house, how dare you pick and choose, just look at her good fortune, please trouble the patriarch, and thank you here."
