Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 52

In the main room of Qinghui Courtyard of Zhenshenggong Mansion, Mrs. Wang frowned and put down the letter in her hand.

The letter comes from the family of Xue, the emperor of Jinling.At the beginning, there were only two daughters in the Wang family, one was married to the second son of Rong Guogong, and the other was married to the great-great-grandson of Ziwei Sheren, Xue Xun, who was appointed by the mother-in-law when the country was founded.

If this Ziwei Sheren was not still alive when Xue Wang's marriage was discussed, she would not have married into Xue's family in the end.Of course, the Wang family couldn't refuse the Xue family's huge dowry.

Xue Wang said that he once thought that the imperial merchants had the word "Huang" after all, which should be different from those ordinary merchants.After she married, the Xue family was indeed different from other merchants.As the wife of the family, she can wear silk and satin, and she can also use those phoenix hairpins that can only be worn by high-grade orders.

However, all of this can only be done in the Xue family.

As long as she leaves the door of Xue's house, she must abide by various rules and regulations.

Compared to being the first daughter who ruled the county uncle's mansion back then, the head wife of the royal merchant Xue's family is really a bit boring.Because to put it bluntly, the person she married was white, and she was just an ordinary woman.Even though the Xue family had a part in Jinling's communication, in the end, the disdain in those eyes still made Xue Wang's family fall into an ice cave.

Fortunately, Xue Wang married a good husband.Although she didn't have the slightest fame, she was good at doing business and earned a lot of money for her family, allowing her to have enough food and clothing.Not to mention the abundance of money, she is the only one in the backyard of Xue Wang's husband, not to mention aunts and concubines, and there is not even a roommate.

It's not that Wang Xue doesn't envy Mrs. Wang, one of her direct sisters is married into a duke's family, and the other is married as a merchant's wife.The difference is enough to be described as the difference between cloud and mud.However, after many years of not going out, she is still the only one in Xue Xun's backyard, which made Xue Wang feel at ease.

Compared with my elder sister who married into Rongguo Mansion, she only became the wife of the family after the death of the elder sister-in-law, and even when she was the new daughter-in-law, she raised a maid next to Jia Zheng as an aunt.She, the well-deserved wife of the Xue family, lived quite comfortably.

After isolating some unharmonious notes, Xue Wang's life is getting better and better. After having a son, she has completely integrated into Xue's family.But recently the Xue family is not doing well, although it is not her eldest son Xue Pan who has always been stubborn, but he has something to do with him.

Xue Xun's health was not very good, because Xue Pan was angry again and left his master who came to teach him.

Although her natal family is capable, for Xue Wang, she still relies on Xue Xun now.So after inviting all the famous grandparents in the south of the Yangtze River but only getting shakes of their heads, Mrs. Xue had no other choice but to write a letter to Mrs. Wang for help in the capital.

Speaking of which, Xue Wang used to feel happier than Mrs. Wang because of the simplicity of her backyard, but everything changed after Jia Zhu Xingbang High School.

If you want to say that imperial merchants are better than ordinary merchants, it is that imperial merchants are eligible to participate in the imperial examination, while ordinary merchants are only eligible after they have stopped doing business for three generations.Therefore, the Xue family has the qualifications.Before that, Xue Xun was the heir of the Xue family, so he never took part in the imperial examination, while his younger brother Xue Chen took the imperial examination route.

It's a pity that Xue Chen's qualifications in reading are limited, and he finally stopped at a scholar and embarked on the road of business.

The younger brother can't do it, but Xue Xun has high hopes for his son.In addition, this son has a promising uncle and the second master of the Rongguo Mansion as his uncle. As long as he can pass the exam, he will definitely have a promising future!And Xue Xun's hope for Xue Pan is as deep as his hope.

After Xue Pan was born, without the pressure of incense, Xue Xun no longer just guarded Jinling, but went out often.Without Yan's father by his side, Xue Pan grew up under the upbringing of Xue Wang's loving mother.Xue Wang's character was originally charitable, and Xue Pan was the son she had been looking forward to for many years, so it was inevitable that she spoiled him a little more.

At the age of enlightenment, because Xue Pan cried a few times because he didn't like it, Wang Xue let it go.When he was one year older and Xue Wang was about to be stricter, she found out that she was pregnant again.With the birth of the youngest daughter, because of the heat brought by the womb of the youngest daughter Xue Baochai, Wang Xue has no energy to focus on Xue Pan, which makes him become even more naughty by the servants around him.

When Xue Xun was in poor health and went home to recuperate and stopped going out, he discovered that his eldest son Xue Pan had become a cockfighting horse, a well-known playboy in the entire Jinling City.Xue Xun supported his uncomfortable body and invited his master to discipline Xue Pan strictly.As a result, Xue Pan was a bit capable, and he was angry and left five masters.

After the fifth master was angry and left, Xue Xun was also so angry that his condition worsened, and now he has been lying in bed unable to get up.

As soon as Xue Xun fell down, it took a lot of effort to get it years ago, and it took two years to collect materials before and after it was made. The Lengxiang Wan, which can suppress the heat in the womb of the youngest daughter Xue Baochai, did not make Xue Wang happy.

My house is leaky and it rains all night, but my good sister's house is getting better and better.

At that time, Jia Zhu was seriously ill in bed after Qiuwei, and Xue Wang also sent people to deliver medicinal materials.At that time, she was still sighing secretly for her elder sister, if the promising eldest son just passed away, even if there was a youngest son who was born with a jade title, it would be too long to wait for him to grow up.

It seems that marrying into the Duke's mansion does not necessarily mean happiness, there are too many things to consider.

In the end, she guessed the beginning right, but the result was not as she expected.

Jia Zhu survived that illness, and although she was unable to participate in the next year's Chunwei and Palace Examinations, she was still a serious Juren.After that, there was no big news in the capital until Emperor Longxi announced his abdication and the Crown Prince ascended the throne.Then during the preparations for the ceremony, Jia Zhu suddenly appeared and was canonized as the real Holy Duke!

As for Mrs. Wang's heartfelt statement that Jia Zhu worshiped a great supernatural being as her teacher, and she also has supernatural powers, Mrs. Xue just laughed and said, but the development of the situation is completely different from what she thought Mrs. Wang was joking with her. .

Although the Xue family is said to be an imperial merchant, after all, the foundation of the hierarchy is still a little bit worse.That's why the Xue family didn't know when there were miraculous healing potions and antidotes, as well as those accessories with miraculous effects, in the capital.

Later, Jia Zhu was deeply loved by the two sages, and finally even accepted many of the master's children as registered disciples, so Wang Xue believed what Mrs. Wang said in her letter.But it is precisely because Mrs. Wang's life is going smoothly that Wang Xue is unwilling to get too close to her.

But now that Xue Xun might close his eyes at any time, Xue Wang couldn't care less.She sent the nanny's son and her own nanny brother to rush to the capital at full speed, hoping that Mrs. Wang would give them a helping hand based on their former sisterhood.

"Mingfang, go and see, how many third-level healing potions the master sent me a few days ago are still in my box." Mrs. Wang ordered the big maid beside her.

A figure in green clothes and a red scarf went out, and came back after a while: "Back to the old lady, the master sent a total of twenty medicines, seven of which were used, and now there are thirteen left." The potion is worth tens of thousands of gold, Mingfang and those who serve by Mrs. Wang's side don't dare to have any other ideas, that is, the entry and exit are clearly registered.

"Well, you take three... no, take out five, and wrap them together with an antidote, and hand them over to the person who sent the letter from Jinling outside the second door. Then inform Wang Wei and ask him to arrange for someone to take the sent to Jinling safely." Remembering that after Jia Min became pregnant, Li Wan directly arranged for Wang Wei's family to deliver five third-level healing potions, Madam Wang changed her mind.

It can't be compared to her natal sister's family, even Jia Min's family can't compare?

Although the Xue family is indeed incomparable with the Lin family, one is said to be an imperial merchant, but it is also a merchant, and the other is indeed a scholarly family of five generations of princes.But in Madam Wang's eyes, the Xue family is better.Who made the head wife of the Xue family to be Mrs. Wang's direct sister?

However, although she didn't know much about the affairs in the court, Mrs. Wang still remembered that Ya'erlin happened to be there when Xue's family sent a gift last time.The Xue family seems to have done something in the south of the Yangtze River that made the saint a little dissatisfied, and Yaerlin asked her to be more careful when interacting with the Xue family.

"Wait!" Calling Mingfang who was about to go out, Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and thought for a while before ordering again, "You wrap it up as I said first, and as for whether you want to send it out, I will ask the master Say it again."

The brother-in-law's life is important, but her son's future is even more important.Mrs. Wang doesn't want to cause any trouble for Ya'erlin because of the Xue family's affairs.It happened that Ya'erlin was in the mansion today, so she arranged for the people below to pass on the message.

Although many children of the clan were accepted as registered disciples, Ya'erlin was not too busy.Except for the hard work of doing the element affinity determination for these people at the beginning, it was only a trip to the garden once every three days to give lectures and answer questions for these people.

Apart from his apprentice Liu Xianglian, the only one who allowed him to teach alone was the old sage Emperor Longxi.

In his spare time, Yarlin either spends on body training or interacts with his precious son.Jia Lan is over half a year old now, and although she is still unable to speak, she also appears to be more mature than her peers.Especially when he was with Yarlin, he was so smart that he didn't look like a baby.

Li Wan was very happy about this, but she also knew that this matter could only be hidden in the True Holy Court, even Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang could not talk about it.

Being smart is a good thing, but if you surpass others too much, you will become a thorn in the side of others.Yaerlin has no position in the court, but his influence on the court is not small.Such a somewhat deformed existence made the capital pay more and more attention to him.If Jalan's difference from ordinary people is known to others, it will definitely become an excuse to attack and annihilate him.

Li Wan didn't want Ya'erlin to be in trouble, and he didn't want Jia Lan to be a pawn for others to hurt Ya'erlin.

During this period of time, the relationship between Ya Erlin and Li Wan has not deepened as Ya Erlin expected.After having Jia Lan, Li Wan put more thoughts on Jia Lan. Although he never ignored Ya'erlin, he no longer paid as much attention to him as before.

Ya'erlin euphemistically mentioned it to Li Wan several times, but after she persisted, he fell silent.

He wanted Li Wan to stay by his side all the time, and the two of them would spend the years to come together.But Li Wan's concept is really different from his, not to mention Guan Biao's deep affection, even Qin Se and Ming can't do it.
