Jia Zheng heard Jia's mother mention that his yard was empty, and he also knew that it was because the old lady was afraid of his two aunts and didn't pay attention to Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun couldn't manage his father and concubine, which made him feel embarrassed on weekdays.
So Jia Zheng smiled hard at Jia's mother, but the smile was bitter no matter how you look at it: "It is also in the son's life that he should have such a calamity to meet such a woman. Even if the mother said that Yuanchun is good, then in my yard Of course, Yuan Chun will take care of the matter. As for the two aunts, I will beat them when I go back, as long as they are not allowed to cause trouble."
At present, it can only be like this, Mother Jia nodded and said: "Your elder brother is not unaware, but he can still treat you like this, you have to know." Don't keep thinking about whether you can dominate others.
Jia Zheng had already bowed his head in shame, and only said "yes" softly, and had nothing to say.Mother Jia was afraid that he would show his whereabouts, or that he would go to Jia She to confess his guilt or something, so she said: "It's been so many years since these things have passed, and it's just embarrassing everyone if they are revealed again. I won't do it in front of your brother. Saying this is out of consideration. You just need to respect your elder brother more in the future. It must be that he has suffered all these years, right?"
"Yes, my son knows." Jia Zheng still replied in a low voice.When he went down, Mother Jia let out a sigh of relief.But now there is only one of Zhang Cai's family left among her companions, and she is not going to elevate him to the same status as the original Nanny Lai, so as not to raise another big-hearted one.So I can only silently think about the future.
The maids were a little worried when they saw that the old lady had been thinking about something by herself since the old men left, and she didn't ask for tea or water.But the training of the Jia family's slaves is not for nothing, and the maids must not wait until the master calls.Going into the house and disturbing the master by himself is one of them.
When the girl was at a loss, Mrs. Xing brought Yuan Chun over, making them feel as if they had seen a savior.Quietly told about Mother Jia's current situation, Mrs. Xing asked people to go in to report, thinking that she was not good at talking, so she whispered to Yuan Chun: "Make the old lady happy later."
Yuan Chun knew how important Mother Jia was to him, and now he was counting on the old lady for his marriage.Even if Mrs. Xing didn't ask her to do it, she would nod her head now.
Seeing the two of them enter the house, Mother Jia asked, "Has your own yard been tidied up?"
Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Of course everything has been cleaned up. Speaking of which, the slave in our family has been trained and knows how to find a job. I don't need to worry about it." Yuan Chun also nodded.
Jia Muyin asked: "Then why don't you just rest in your own room, it's not time to serve dinner yet. But what's the matter?"
Yuan Chun smiled: "Look at what grandma said, can't you come and talk to grandma if you have nothing to do? Our west courtyard is almost settled. I'm afraid grandma hasn't tidied up here yet, so I want to come and have a look. Who knows I actually thought of going with my aunt."
"Yuanchun knows that he misses grandma." Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, "It's a pity that grandma can't keep you for a few years."
Mrs. Xing was worried that she didn't know what to talk about. Now that Mother Jia took the initiative to bring up the matter of Yuan Chun, she continued beside her: "That's right. With Yuan Chun, I have saved a lot of trouble. If this girl's future The marriage is certain, so I have to go back to my own room to embroider the dowry, and I don't have anyone to help me." There was a look of regret on the face.
Even though he wanted to make Jia's mother happy, Yuan Chun was still very shy when the topic came up to him: "Why are you talking about this again?"
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Now that we've returned to Beijing, why don't you get busy with your affairs first." Then she said to Mrs. Xing: "We must let everyone know that we are back. After two days, the family will be busy." , I will also post a post for everyone, and invite people to come to the house to get together."
Mrs. Xing was a little embarrassed and said: "It's just that we post a post in our house, can people come?" My home is in the home of a nobleman, and now I am not very popular.
Jia's mother just smiled: "It's just the first time to post a post to those old relatives. If they don't come once, we can't post a second time. We always stick to them. Next time, we will only invite the boss." Those who belong to the same family as the second child." These are the families who choose their grandson-in-law.
Mrs. Xing also nodded in understanding.More than two years is enough for her and Jia Mu to gain mutual understanding and trust, so she doesn't need Jia Mu to mention more, she also knows who should send the first wave of posts to, and who should focus on the treat.
Even Yuan Chun knew how he should behave in front of the two waves of guests.
With such a tacit understanding, for the first banquet held by the Ronghou Mansion after returning to Beijing, many posts were sent out, but not many people came: Shihou Mansion is Jia Mu’s natal family, so naturally all active members of the family come up.None of the four kings came, but they still sent decent stewards from the mansion to bring gifts, and found a good excuse for their respective masters.
In the eight kilometers apart from Ningrong and Rongfu themselves, for the remaining six kilometers, Fuguogong and Xingguogong had been silent in the previous generation's struggle for succession, and Ronghou's mansion didn't even send out a post.In addition, a concubine master came to Zhen Guo Gong Niu's house. Not only did Xiu Guo Gong and Qi Guo Gong's mansion not have a master, but there was no reason for a manager to come.
The Wang family and the Jia family were just about to tear each other apart. After such a long time, everyone in Beijing who should know also knew about it, so the Jia family didn't send any post to the Wang family at all.Among the rest of the old relatives, there were some who came, and some who were sent to take care of things, none of them were like Duke Xiu and Duke Qi who didn't give them any face at all.
In fact, the Jia family all know why Xiu Guogong and Qi Guogong's mansions are like this: they both hang the plaques of Guogong's mansions just like Ronghou's mansion. The plaque of the general's mansion.The titles of those two families have been handed down to the present, and they are not much different from Jia Jing, the difference is only the first-class general or the third-class general.
It's no wonder people don't dislike Ningrong and Rongfu who have to ask for reformation and replacement of plaques!
It was because Jia Amnesty was a noble who was only demoted to the first class, and Jia Jing was still working in the Ministry of Officials. If it was the first banquet in the Ronghou Mansion after returning to Beijing, could someone come and say something about it.
Fortunately, Mother Jia was well prepared, and she still had something to say to her brother.So after seeing the guests for a while, he said that he was tired, and told Mrs. Xing to treat the guests well, so he went back to his Rongqing hall, and sent someone to invite Shihou over.
When Jia Mu came back that day, Shi Hou brought his sons to see Jia Mu, but several children of the Shi family were there that day, and there were some things to say.Seeing his sister calling now, Shi Hou also knew what his sister wanted to ask: "Don't worry, sister, the money owed by my family has been paid back quietly."
That's good.Mother Jia put aside one concern, and asked about the second one: "How is your eldest's health in the past two years?"
When mentioning the eldest son, Shi Hou still sighed a little: "I also have the cheek to beg for the director of the Taiyuan Hospital. I also asked people to look for any doctor who heard that they were good, but who knew..."
Mother Jia really cared about her health card, and she really didn't have much left.But if it is not given to the boss of the Shi family, it will be difficult to think that the Shi family and the Jia family will advance and retreat together.Seeing his sister's expression, Shi Hou thought she was caring for her son, and persuaded her: "My sons and grandchildren have their own blessings. For this evil, I have done my best. Compared with his son, I have done my best to worry about him all these years. The two younger brothers together are more. Don't feel too sad for him, sister."
Come on, let me tell you that, if Mother Jia doesn't take out her health card, she will feel sorry for herself.I had no choice but to grit my teeth and said, "I asked for this peace talisman from your boss on the road. You must let him wear it every day. It is always my aunt's wish."
Shihou was so moved: "My sister is still thinking about what that evil person is doing. With such a high mountain and a long way to go, why do you ask him for a talisman?"
It's just that no matter how moved he was, it couldn't compare to the pain in Jiamu's heart. What echoed in her mind was: there are only two health cards left, and there are only two health cards left.In such a state of mind, isn't there more than distressed expression on his face?Shi Hou didn't know that his sister didn't feel sorry for his son, and felt that since his sister could treat his son like this, then he should also mention his two nephews.
After talking like chickens and ducks for a while, Shihou agreed to Jiamu's opinion of sending the two sons who had the idea of seizing the title to the army, and then resigned - the men's banquet was placed in the front yard. He wanted to personally support the two nephews.
It was only when the family reunited in the evening that Mother Jia realized how important Shihou had been in the outer court—when he was not seated, the guests would talk about themselves, not paying attention to the host family.As soon as Shi Hou entered the table, he praised the two nephews, which made the atmosphere at the table a little better.
But Mrs. Xing is not so lucky here.Mother Jia withdrew from the banquet early, and those female relatives of old relatives, even if they were ordered not to be as tall as Mrs. Xing, most of them were original wives, not to mention their wives, and they had children by their side. No place to stand?
In fact, if it was the original Mrs. Xing, as long as she was able to attend such a banquet, she would be happy for a long time, and she would be able to tell who said what was sincerely flattering or pointing at Sanghuai?But people are constantly improving, especially Mrs. Xing's instructor for the past two years is Jia Mu who pretends to be a brain fight and house fight, so she breaks apart every word she utters. consider?
Mother Jia looked at the resentment on Madam Xing's face, and comforted her kindly: "You are the host today, so naturally it's not easy to argue with the guests. If you say these few words, you, the hostess, should be able to bear it." .Didn’t I just tell you that I’m not deaf or dumb, and I’m not a family member? If you encounter something like this again, just pretend you don’t understand, and then you will see whether it’s you or she who is angry.”
Even if Mrs. Xing understands this truth, she is also a mistress with pursuit, a mistress who wants to be good at all kinds of banquets.So I still can't lift my spirits.
Mother Jia didn't care about her, she had to go through several events before Madam Xing knew that the brand of Ronghou Mansion was not easy to use everywhere, so don't make it public once you become the head of the house.The current Ronghou Mansion should be as low-key as possible.
Turning around, he asked Jia Zheng: "Zheng'er, you are doing well in the yamen. Is there anyone making things difficult for you?"
Jia Zheng was still calm: "Although my colleagues are a bit cold, there is still a greeting when we meet. It's just that the court officials didn't assign any work to the son, so the son read the files from the past years that he could borrow, so he was familiar with it. Check out the procedures in the department."
Mother Jia especially wanted to say that she knew everything about the Ministry of Industry.But I can't say this, I can only comfort Jia Zheng: "This is also a test of your character, gentlemen. You just need to calm down. There is also a copy of the dossier..." Put yourself in Jia Zheng's eyes. In the first life, he told Jia Zheng the method of classifying and transcribing various places over the years.
Although Jia Zheng hasn't implemented it yet, and he doesn't know how effective it will be, he still feels that it's admirable for a housekeeper like Jia's mother to think of these things, and looks at Jia's mother with admiration in his eyes.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian also listened fascinatedly.Mother Jia couldn't help caring about Jia Lian: "Has Lian'er put aside her martial arts lessons for the past few days?"
Jia Lian shook his head at the side: "Nowadays, every afternoon is used to practice martial arts for a year, and I dare not let it go."
Jia's mother nodded, and asked him to write to Jia Zhu, telling him not to let go of the martial arts class, and no matter what, he must not ruin his body just to study.Yuan Chun said, "When Lian'er writes to my brother, let me know, and I will say hello to my brother." Jia Lian agreed.
Jia Amnesty said to Jia Mu: "Mother, tomorrow is not a grand court meeting, I don't have to go to court. I want to take Lian'er to his grandfather's house."
Indeed, this matter cannot be delayed any longer: because the Ronghou Mansion invited guests today, even if it was a reappearance in the middle of the capital, the Zhang family must have thought that the Ronghou Mansion deliberately neglected it if they went late.Jia's mother also told Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian that they must lower their posture when they arrived at Zhang's house, and they would not return their words if they were beaten or scolded.
Fortunately, Jia Amnesty said that he knew that his family was sorry for Mrs. Zhang.But Jia Lian felt that if he went to his grandparents' house for the first time, what was waiting for him might not be a warm welcome and beatings and scolding. He might as well read two more pages of books at home and get praise from his elders.
Jia's mother was paying attention to Jia Lian's expression, and seeing that something was wrong on his face, she began to persuade: "Lian'er thinks that since you are 14 years old and have never been to your natal family, they should still open the door." At the middle gate, set off firecrackers to welcome you?"
Even if he knows that the middle door of ordinary people cannot be opened easily, he is a junior, and he is not enough to be greeted by people, but he can't think of beating and scolding as soon as he enters the door.Jia Lian's face was still not happy.
Jia's mother said again: "Don't say that no one in the family mentioned your mother and natal family, so you don't know. You are not young, and you should have reached the age of seeing each other. In a small family, you can stand up for the door. That’s right. You just said that no one in your family mentioned it, but have you ever thought about asking about your mother? Have you ever thought about asking who knows which family your natal family is, who else is there, and who else is there? where?"
Jia Lian couldn't answer a series of questions.When he was a child, it was not that he had never thought about it, Mrs. Wang would bring Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun back to the Wang family from time to time, but his natal family never picked him up.But seeing how the mansion kept this secret, he instinctively knew that this issue was not liked by the elders in the family, so he let it go gently.
Now when Mother Jia asked, I realized that if I really wanted to, even if I asked quietly, I wouldn't tell anyone.To put it bluntly, it was because he wanted to gain favor from his elders, and he didn't care about his natal family.
People's hearts change people's hearts. I don't take others into my heart, but ask them to be enthusiastic about me. It's really... Even if Jia Lian doesn't want to scold him, he knows that this matter is on him, and he won't forgive easily.
Seeing Jia Lian's expression as if he had figured it out, Jia's mother said to Jia Amnesty: "Tomorrow, you take Lian'er over there, and tell him who is still in each room today."
Jia Amnesty replied muffledly, but he didn't show any embarrassment.Jia Lian knew his father must be familiar with the current situation of the Zhang family.In contrast, I discovered my own shortcomings.Standing up, he bowed to Jia Mu and Jia She each, and said, "It's Lian'er who is ignorant, so tired that grandma and father are worried."
In front of him, this is still a child in his teens. If it is in modern times, he has not even graduated from junior high school.Since Jia Mu passed through, even if it was mixed with the memories of Wang Xifeng's life, she didn't have much affection for him, but her current performance is remarkable, making it difficult for Jia Mu to treat him with the feelings of her previous life Jia Lian in this life.
He hurriedly asked Jia Lian to go back and sit down quickly, and comforted him a little bit. Seeing that his little face gradually had some smiles, Jia's mother said to Mrs. Xing: "Madam, let's prepare the presents. Who are there?" , What is the seniority, the boss will also talk to the eldest wife - in the future, Lian'er will always be allowed to move around."
No matter how awkward Mrs. Xing was, she did not dare to disobey the orders of Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty.Jia Lian got Jia's mother's wink, and then bowed to Mrs. Xing: "I let mother worry about it."
With Jia Lian's words, Mrs. Xing felt a little better.Think about it, although I have recuperated my body, but I am still not pregnant, and I don't know when the fate of this child will arrive.Even if she has a child, she is so different from Jia Lian, and she will have to rely on Jia Lian for more help in the future, so she said with a smile, "What nonsense is this child talking. Isn't your business the mother's business." Jia Lian Thank you again, before I listen to the adults again.
Mrs. Xing also reported to Mother Jia that she wanted to have her servants train their servants—this was what Xiao Xu asked her quietly during the banquet today.Mother Jia didn't have any objection either: if it was the uncertain factor of not marrying Qin Keqing in the East Mansion, she would not plan to separate the two mansions in this life, and the more rigorous the East Mansion, the happier she would be.So let Mrs. Xing just let the rules go past two.He also agreed to copy a copy of the slave code that had been changed in his family to Dongfu.
Talking like this, the time is not too early, and because today's guests have been feasting for a day, everyone has been fully refreshed.Mother Jia also asked everyone to go back to rest, and told them not to come over tomorrow morning to say hello.
The next day, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's trip to the Zhang Mansion went smoothly.Even if they didn't have a good face when they first entered the door, they still let them in because of Jia Lian's face.After Jia Lian went to the backyard for a while and let the old lady of the Zhang family cry in her arms, Jia Amnesty in the front study also got a cup of hot tea.
When Jia Lian came out of the second gate, he asked his two uncles to take an academic examination. Both of them nodded their heads for a rare moment, and said to Jia She for the first time: "It seems that you have devoted yourself to raising Lian'er. For the sake of this, let Lian'er come to the mansion to walk around more in the future. The old lady is also an elderly person."
Hearing that the two brothers-in-law still didn't want to see him, Jia She secretly breathed a sigh of relief: he never liked reading, but everyone in this family enjoys learning.Now people have made it clear that they only care about Jia Lian and don't want to see him more, so they just let Jia Lian come over at regular intervals to say hello, and he just wants to give him gifts on New Year's Day.
Jia's mother also asked Jia Lian's impression of Zhang's house. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian's dissatisfaction before leaving disappeared: "Grandmother has been thinking about mother, but she just keeps crying when she is facing me. The two aunts are also kind. It is said that our mansion is very dedicated to me. Especially my cousins, they are all well-spoken and successful in their studies."
It seems that the Zhang family was still polite to this nephew, considering the face of the deceased Zhang.Jia's mother told Jia Lian: "Even if the cousins are all good, don't just stay at home every day. When you have time, walk around with the cousins. You, you can't allow yourself not to dare to go."
One sentence made Jia Lian jump up: "Look at what grandma said, what grandson would not dare to go. He must show his heroism at the literary fair for grandma to see."
It's better to go out to participate in the literary conference than to hang out with those dudes. Jia's mother naturally praised Jia Lian for her ambition.It made Jia Lian wish to go out to participate in the last game now, so as to be worthy of the lofty ambition he made with the old lady.
So far, even though the Ronghou Mansion has returned to the Beijing-China social circle, and two months after Jia Zheng went to the government office, he hosted a banquet for Jia Zheng's colleagues and family members, and even the Zhang Mansion also posted a post.
Mrs. Zhang will definitely not come over, only Jia Lian's second aunt brought her daughter to the house.Seeing that the girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, Jia's mother knew that the Zhang family might be planning to renew the marriage.To say that this was normal in ancient times: now Jia She is annoying among the nobles, but in the eyes of those who can see the situation clearly, it is clear.In addition, Jia Lian had a good sense of presence in Zhang's house last time, and went out with his cousins twice. Those children also went home and told their impressions of Jia Lian. If they didn't, they brought their daughters to show to Jia's family. .
What's more, Jia Lian still has a title of title. With the current momentum of the Jia family, it would be difficult for Jia Lian to only be demoted to the first class, but he would still be a baron if he was demoted to the second class.If this girl marries in, she will definitely be a consort!
But this is a marriage between relatives!Facing the child who obviously just graduated from elementary school, but tried to be calm in front of her, Jia's mother really couldn't say anything like "your child is really good, I can't bear to let her go back".But the relationship between the two families has just eased, if there is no sign at all, it will obviously offend the Zhang family again.
Jiamu's head hurts again.
So Jia Zheng smiled hard at Jia's mother, but the smile was bitter no matter how you look at it: "It is also in the son's life that he should have such a calamity to meet such a woman. Even if the mother said that Yuanchun is good, then in my yard Of course, Yuan Chun will take care of the matter. As for the two aunts, I will beat them when I go back, as long as they are not allowed to cause trouble."
At present, it can only be like this, Mother Jia nodded and said: "Your elder brother is not unaware, but he can still treat you like this, you have to know." Don't keep thinking about whether you can dominate others.
Jia Zheng had already bowed his head in shame, and only said "yes" softly, and had nothing to say.Mother Jia was afraid that he would show his whereabouts, or that he would go to Jia She to confess his guilt or something, so she said: "It's been so many years since these things have passed, and it's just embarrassing everyone if they are revealed again. I won't do it in front of your brother. Saying this is out of consideration. You just need to respect your elder brother more in the future. It must be that he has suffered all these years, right?"
"Yes, my son knows." Jia Zheng still replied in a low voice.When he went down, Mother Jia let out a sigh of relief.But now there is only one of Zhang Cai's family left among her companions, and she is not going to elevate him to the same status as the original Nanny Lai, so as not to raise another big-hearted one.So I can only silently think about the future.
The maids were a little worried when they saw that the old lady had been thinking about something by herself since the old men left, and she didn't ask for tea or water.But the training of the Jia family's slaves is not for nothing, and the maids must not wait until the master calls.Going into the house and disturbing the master by himself is one of them.
When the girl was at a loss, Mrs. Xing brought Yuan Chun over, making them feel as if they had seen a savior.Quietly told about Mother Jia's current situation, Mrs. Xing asked people to go in to report, thinking that she was not good at talking, so she whispered to Yuan Chun: "Make the old lady happy later."
Yuan Chun knew how important Mother Jia was to him, and now he was counting on the old lady for his marriage.Even if Mrs. Xing didn't ask her to do it, she would nod her head now.
Seeing the two of them enter the house, Mother Jia asked, "Has your own yard been tidied up?"
Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Of course everything has been cleaned up. Speaking of which, the slave in our family has been trained and knows how to find a job. I don't need to worry about it." Yuan Chun also nodded.
Jia Muyin asked: "Then why don't you just rest in your own room, it's not time to serve dinner yet. But what's the matter?"
Yuan Chun smiled: "Look at what grandma said, can't you come and talk to grandma if you have nothing to do? Our west courtyard is almost settled. I'm afraid grandma hasn't tidied up here yet, so I want to come and have a look. Who knows I actually thought of going with my aunt."
"Yuanchun knows that he misses grandma." Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, "It's a pity that grandma can't keep you for a few years."
Mrs. Xing was worried that she didn't know what to talk about. Now that Mother Jia took the initiative to bring up the matter of Yuan Chun, she continued beside her: "That's right. With Yuan Chun, I have saved a lot of trouble. If this girl's future The marriage is certain, so I have to go back to my own room to embroider the dowry, and I don't have anyone to help me." There was a look of regret on the face.
Even though he wanted to make Jia's mother happy, Yuan Chun was still very shy when the topic came up to him: "Why are you talking about this again?"
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Now that we've returned to Beijing, why don't you get busy with your affairs first." Then she said to Mrs. Xing: "We must let everyone know that we are back. After two days, the family will be busy." , I will also post a post for everyone, and invite people to come to the house to get together."
Mrs. Xing was a little embarrassed and said: "It's just that we post a post in our house, can people come?" My home is in the home of a nobleman, and now I am not very popular.
Jia's mother just smiled: "It's just the first time to post a post to those old relatives. If they don't come once, we can't post a second time. We always stick to them. Next time, we will only invite the boss." Those who belong to the same family as the second child." These are the families who choose their grandson-in-law.
Mrs. Xing also nodded in understanding.More than two years is enough for her and Jia Mu to gain mutual understanding and trust, so she doesn't need Jia Mu to mention more, she also knows who should send the first wave of posts to, and who should focus on the treat.

Not only did Xiu Guo Gong and Qi Guo Gong's mansion not have a master, but there was no reason for a manager to come.
The Wang family and the Jia family were just about to tear each other apart. After such a long time, everyone in Beijing who should know also knew about it, so the Jia family didn't send any post to the Wang family at all.Among the rest of the old relatives, there were some who came, and some who were sent to take care of things, none of them were like Duke Xiu and Duke Qi who didn't give them any face at all.

In fact, if it was the original Mrs. Xing, as long as she was able to attend such a banquet, she would be happy for a long time, and she would be able to tell who said what was sincerely flattering or pointing at Sanghuai?But people are constantly improving, especially Mrs. Xing's instructor for the past two years is Jia Mu who pretends to be a brain fight and house fight, so she breaks apart every word she utters. consider?
Mother Jia looked at the resentment on Madam Xing's face, and comforted her kindly: "You are the host today, so naturally it's not easy to argue with the guests. If you say these few words, you, the hostess, should be able to bear it." .Didn’t I just tell you that I’m not deaf or dumb, and I’m not a family member? If you encounter something like this again, just pretend you don’t understand, and then you will see whether it’s you or she who is angry.”
Even if Mrs. Xing understands this truth, she is also a mistress with pursuit, a mistress who wants to be good at all kinds of banquets.So I still can't lift my spirits.
Mother Jia didn't care about her, she had to go through several events before Madam Xing knew that the brand of Ronghou Mansion was not easy to use everywhere, so don't make it public once you become the head of the house.The current Ronghou Mansion should be as low-key as possible.
Turning around, he asked Jia Zheng: "Zheng'er, you are doing well in the yamen. Is there anyone making things difficult for you?"
Jia Zheng was still calm: "Although my colleagues are a bit cold, there is still a greeting when we meet. It's just that the court officials didn't assign any work to the son, so the son read the files from the past years that he could borrow, so he was familiar with it. Check out the procedures in the department."
Mother Jia especially wanted to say that she knew everything about the Ministry of Industry.But I can't say this, I can only comfort Jia Zheng: "This is also a test of your character, gentlemen. You just need to calm down. There is also a copy of the dossier..." Put yourself in Jia Zheng's eyes. In the first life, he told Jia Zheng the method of classifying and transcribing various places over the years.
Although Jia Zheng hasn't implemented it yet, and he doesn't know how effective it will be, he still feels that it's admirable for a housekeeper like Jia's mother to think of these things, and looks at Jia's mother with admiration in his eyes.
Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian also listened fascinatedly.Mother Jia couldn't help caring about Jia Lian: "Has Lian'er put aside her martial arts lessons for the past few days?"
Jia Lian shook his head at the side: "Nowadays, every afternoon is used to practice martial arts for a year, and I dare not let it go."
Jia's mother nodded, and asked him to write to Jia Zhu, telling him not to let go of the martial arts class, and no matter what, he must not ruin his body just to study.Yuan Chun said, "When Lian'er writes to my brother, let me know, and I will say hello to my brother." Jia Lian agreed.
Jia Amnesty said to Jia Mu: "Mother, tomorrow is not a grand court meeting, I don't have to go to court. I want to take Lian'er to his grandfather's house."
Indeed, this matter cannot be delayed any longer: because the Ronghou Mansion invited guests today, even if it was a reappearance in the middle of the capital, the Zhang family must have thought that the Ronghou Mansion deliberately neglected it if they went late.Jia's mother also told Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian that they must lower their posture when they arrived at Zhang's house, and they would not return their words if they were beaten or scolded.
Fortunately, Jia Amnesty said that he knew that his family was sorry for Mrs. Zhang.But Jia Lian felt that if he went to his grandparents' house for the first time, what was waiting for him might not be a warm welcome and beatings and scolding. He might as well read two more pages of books at home and get praise from his elders.
Jia's mother was paying attention to Jia Lian's expression, and seeing that something was wrong on his face, she began to persuade: "Lian'er thinks that since you are 14 years old and have never been to your natal family, they should still open the door." At the middle gate, set off firecrackers to welcome you?"
Even if he knows that the middle door of ordinary people cannot be opened easily, he is a junior, and he is not enough to be greeted by people, but he can't think of beating and scolding as soon as he enters the door.Jia Lian's face was still not happy.
Jia's mother said again: "Don't say that no one in the family mentioned your mother and natal family, so you don't know. You are not young, and you should have reached the age of seeing each other. In a small family, you can stand up for the door. That’s right. You just said that no one in your family mentioned it, but have you ever thought about asking about your mother? Have you ever thought about asking who knows which family your natal family is, who else is there, and who else is there? where?"
Jia Lian couldn't answer a series of questions.When he was a child, it was not that he had never thought about it, Mrs. Wang would bring Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun back to the Wang family from time to time, but his natal family never picked him up.But seeing how the mansion kept this secret, he instinctively knew that this issue was not liked by the elders in the family, so he let it go gently.
Now when Mother Jia asked, I realized that if I really wanted to, even if I asked quietly, I wouldn't tell anyone.To put it bluntly, it was because he wanted to gain favor from his elders, and he didn't care about his natal family.
People's hearts change people's hearts. I don't take others into my heart, but ask them to be enthusiastic about me. It's really... Even if Jia Lian doesn't want to scold him, he knows that this matter is on him, and he won't forgive easily.
Seeing Jia Lian's expression as if he had figured it out, Jia's mother said to Jia Amnesty: "Tomorrow, you take Lian'er over there, and tell him who is still in each room today."
Jia Amnesty replied muffledly, but he didn't show any embarrassment.Jia Lian knew his father must be familiar with the current situation of the Zhang family.In contrast, I discovered my own shortcomings.Standing up, he bowed to Jia Mu and Jia She each, and said, "It's Lian'er who is ignorant, so tired that grandma and father are worried."
In front of him, this is still a child in his teens. If it is in modern times, he has not even graduated from junior high school.Since Jia Mu passed through, even if it was mixed with the memories of Wang Xifeng's life, she didn't have much affection for him, but her current performance is remarkable, making it difficult for Jia Mu to treat him with the feelings of her previous life Jia Lian in this life.
He hurriedly asked Jia Lian to go back and sit down quickly, and comforted him a little bit. Seeing that his little face gradually had some smiles, Jia's mother said to Mrs. Xing: "Madam, let's prepare the presents. Who are there?" , What is the seniority, the boss will also talk to the eldest wife - in the future, Lian'er will always be allowed to move around."
No matter how awkward Mrs. Xing was, she did not dare to disobey the orders of Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty.Jia Lian got Jia's mother's wink, and then bowed to Mrs. Xing: "I let mother worry about it."
With Jia Lian's words, Mrs. Xing felt a little better.Think about it, although I have recuperated my body, but I am still not pregnant, and I don't know when the fate of this child will arrive.Even if she has a child, she is so different from Jia Lian, and she will have to rely on Jia Lian for more help in the future, so she said with a smile, "What nonsense is this child talking. Isn't your business the mother's business." Jia Lian Thank you again, before I listen to the adults again.
Mrs. Xing also reported to Mother Jia that she wanted to have her servants train their servants—this was what Xiao Xu asked her quietly during the banquet today.Mother Jia didn't have any objection either: if it was the uncertain factor of not marrying Qin Keqing in the East Mansion, she would not plan to separate the two mansions in this life, and the more rigorous the East Mansion, the happier she would be.So let Mrs. Xing just let the rules go past two.He also agreed to copy a copy of the slave code that had been changed in his family to Dongfu.
Talking like this, the time is not too early, and because today's guests have been feasting for a day, everyone has been fully refreshed.Mother Jia also asked everyone to go back to rest, and told them not to come over tomorrow morning to say hello.
The next day, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's trip to the Zhang Mansion went smoothly.Even if they didn't have a good face when they first entered the door, they still let them in because of Jia Lian's face.After Jia Lian went to the backyard for a while and let the old lady of the Zhang family cry in her arms, Jia Amnesty in the front study also got a cup of hot tea.
When Jia Lian came out of the second gate, he asked his two uncles to take an academic examination. Both of them nodded their heads for a rare moment, and said to Jia She for the first time: "It seems that you have devoted yourself to raising Lian'er. For the sake of this, let Lian'er come to the mansion to walk around more in the future. The old lady is also an elderly person."
Hearing that the two brothers-in-law still didn't want to see him, Jia She secretly breathed a sigh of relief: he never liked reading, but everyone in this family enjoys learning.Now people have made it clear that they only care about Jia Lian and don't want to see him more, so they just let Jia Lian come over at regular intervals to say hello, and he just wants to give him gifts on New Year's Day.
Jia's mother also asked Jia Lian's impression of Zhang's house. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian's dissatisfaction before leaving disappeared: "Grandmother has been thinking about mother, but she just keeps crying when she is facing me. The two aunts are also kind. It is said that our mansion is very dedicated to me. Especially my cousins, they are all well-spoken and successful in their studies."
It seems that the Zhang family was still polite to this nephew, considering the face of the deceased Zhang.Jia's mother told Jia Lian: "Even if the cousins are all good, don't just stay at home every day. When you have time, walk around with the cousins. You, you can't allow yourself not to dare to go."
One sentence made Jia Lian jump up: "Look at what grandma said, what grandson would not dare to go. He must show his heroism at the literary fair for grandma to see."
It's better to go out to participate in the literary conference than to hang out with those dudes. Jia's mother naturally praised Jia Lian for her ambition.It made Jia Lian wish to go out to participate in the last game now, so as to be worthy of the lofty ambition he made with the old lady.
So far, even though the Ronghou Mansion has returned to the Beijing-China social circle, and two months after Jia Zheng went to the government office, he hosted a banquet for Jia Zheng's colleagues and family members, and even the Zhang Mansion also posted a post.
Mrs. Zhang will definitely not come over, only Jia Lian's second aunt brought her daughter to the house.Seeing that the girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, Jia's mother knew that the Zhang family might be planning to renew the marriage.To say that this was normal in ancient times: now Jia She is annoying among the nobles, but in the eyes of those who can see the situation clearly, it is clear.In addition, Jia Lian had a good sense of presence in Zhang's house last time, and went out with his cousins twice. Those children also went home and told their impressions of Jia Lian. If they didn't, they brought their daughters to show to Jia's family. .
What's more, Jia Lian still has a title of title. With the current momentum of the Jia family, it would be difficult for Jia Lian to only be demoted to the first class, but he would still be a baron if he was demoted to the second class.If this girl marries in, she will definitely be a consort!
But this is a marriage between relatives!Facing the child who obviously just graduated from elementary school, but tried to be calm in front of her, Jia's mother really couldn't say anything like "your child is really good, I can't bear to let her go back".But the relationship between the two families has just eased, if there is no sign at all, it will obviously offend the Zhang family again.
Jiamu's head hurts again.
