Mrs. Xing heard Mrs. Zhang's second wife say that the Li family really had some ideas, and she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Our Yuanchun was also educated by the nuns in the palace all these years. Everyone can see the truth of reading, so I don't say anything. Just say Because her mother has been praying for the old man in front of the Buddha all these years, this child is in charge of the affairs of our second master's yard. Even my house has received a lot of help from her."

Seeing Mrs. Xing defending a niece in this way, Mrs. Zhang looked at her again. It seems that if her daughter enters Jia's house, as long as she sincerely respects this mother-in-law, she will not be impossible to get along with.Yin said: "The Li family is not worried about this."

Mrs. Xing was even more puzzled: "Is it because I'm afraid that the child won't be able to manage the house, or what is it for?" At this time, when people ask for a daughter-in-law, isn't it for the continuation of the heirs, and the second for the presidency?

Mrs. Zhang Er said: "The Li family heard that our two houses have just made a marriage, and the eldest son in the second house is not engaged yet, and I didn't hear that you looked after him. But they put the niece first, people think Some things are inappropriate. Also, the second wife of your mansion has never shown up in Beijing, so everyone spread the word. People are also afraid of this girl, Mother Xiao."

It seems that the last one is the key point.Mrs. Xing said again and again that Yuan Chun was brought up by the nanny in the palace, and she grew up in front of Jia Mu, the Duke's wife.But the person in front of her was the Second Mrs. Zhang, not the Mrs. Li who looked after her brother-in-law, so it would be useless to say more.

Mother Jia got the information brought back by Mrs. Xing, and she was also a little disappointed with the Li family: It seems that the rules in this family are not without disadvantages. Jia insisted on using this trick on Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, but the Jia family really couldn't argue with them.

After all, they are women.It's okay to inquire about the reason in private, just because people haven't come to ask for marriage, just ask why they don't come to ask for marriage, then your girl will be labeled as a hater of hating marriage.

It's not that the Li family is the only one interested in Yuanchun, it's just the experience of Jia's mother in several generations, and she thinks that the Li family is reliable, so she pays more attention to it.Now people feel that Yuanchun is not good, so there is no need for their family not to marry.So Jia Mu pulled up the candidate in her hand again.

Who knows that she hasn't picked out another sweet one here, but the Wang family over there can't help it.Xu Shi also heard that Jia's mother was looking after Yuan Chun, and when the mother-in-law sent again talked to Yuan Chun, she was afraid that Jia's family would not treat Yuan Chun wholeheartedly and would manipulate her in marriage, but The Wang family, who is a foreigner, will make decisions for her.

According to Yuan Chun's eldest girl, Hong Xing, Yuan Chun listened to what the old woman said, even though she scolded her, she said that her family had always treated her very well, and that she didn't need her mother to worry about her.But after the old woman left, Yuan Chun still shed tears and lingered outside Mrs. Wang's small Buddhist hall for a long time.

"Please come here, Miss." Even though Jia Mu knew Yuan Chun's reaction, she didn't plan to wait until she really broke up with the mansion before making amends, so she asked Yuan Chun to come over as soon as possible.

When Yuan Chun came in, Jia's mother took a good look at her: her face was like a silver plate, and there was still a little baby fat, and her almond eyes were a little red and swollen. It seemed that it was not as simple as shedding a few tears.The ruddy water chestnut mouth is slightly pouted, presumably the teeth bit the lip inside.

The child thought he knew what Mother Jia called her for, so he was a little nervous.

Mother Jia had no intention of taking advantage of Yuan Chun's nervousness, and asked her to sit next to her, and then asked, "I heard that someone from your natal family today made you unhappy?"

Knowing that the old lady was well-informed in the mansion, Yuan Chun was still a little surprised that she was so well-informed, so he had to lower his head and whispered back: "It's nothing, it's just that the words are not speculative."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It's a good word." Seeing Yuan Chun looking up at herself, she continued to nod her head and said, "Grandmother has never kept a secret from you about the relationship between our house and your natal family. When we were observing filial piety in Jinling, there were people from your family who lived in Jinling, but none of them came to ask about your brothers and sisters, but after only returning to Beijing, they came to your door, and they only wanted to see you, but they didn't give a damn. Pay attention to your mother, do you know why?"

It's not that Yuanchun didn't think about it, and he once asked someone who came over, and told Jiamu what the person said to him: "The people of my grandfather's family said that I only prayed for my mother when I knew that I made a mistake, so I don't want to bother you." She redeemed herself."

Mother Jia couldn't help sneering: "It seems that the Wang family's ability to turn black and white has not been let go." The words are full of disdain, and it is not easy for people to ignore them.

Seeing that Yuan Chun was puzzled, Jia's mother asked again: "You don't have to be shy to keep both of our mothers in this room. How is it that they haven't mentioned your marriage?"

Yuan Chun looked up again, not a single girl was missing in the room.I knew that Jia's mother must have known the conversation between herself and the Wang family, so she came to ask herself.It's just that my family cares about me, even if I don't say it very nicely, but it's also caring, isn't it?Yuan Chun felt that there was nothing to hide, and said in a low voice: "I also said something. Just let me send a letter to my family if I have something I don't like, so as to save me from being helpless and panic when I arrive."

"Then Yuanchun, you also feel the same way, do you have nothing to rely on in this mansion?" Mother Jia asked very bluntly.Just looking at the tears Yuan Chun shed after the person left, she can also figure out Yuan Chun's thoughts.

It's just self-pity!He felt that his mother had been imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, his father was a minor official of the sixth grade, and although his elder brother was successful in his studies, not only did he not get a degree of fame, he was still not by his side.

Hearing Jia Mu's question, Yuan Chun was also stunned. Jia Mu was always kind to her, she rarely spoke harshly like this, and she couldn't help saying something in a whisper: "Granddaughter dare not. Grandma always loves her granddaughter. My aunt loves her granddaughter too."

Mother Jia was obviously dissatisfied with this answer: "You dare not, but it's not because you don't think so in your heart." Looking at Yuan Chun, she shook her head: "I didn't hide what your mother did from you. If someone else At home, just because your mother is the Wang family, you can see if they will guard against you, but they can still entrust you to take care of the affairs in your father's yard, and let you manage the house together with your aunt business?"

It is impossible.That's why Yuan Chun just said the word dare not: her family is so tolerant, if she says that she is helpless, she will be too heartless.

I just didn’t dare, but it’s not that I didn’t think about it. Mother Jia still cared about the difference: "There is also your aunt. She is a step-wife. For your marriage, she still put down her face and went to Zhang Ye People give people a smile and ask for news, but your mother is outside by herself, for the sake of your daughter, might she let go of such a face?"

This is even more impossible.Based on Yuan Chun's understanding of his mother, she is someone who puts her face higher than the sky.When her father was still white, her mother always regarded herself as the head wife of the Rongguo Mansion, and no one else could get into her eyes.What's more, it is to make a smile on a person who obviously has a rift with his family!

But my aunt did it.If she didn't really love herself, it would have nothing to do with her as an aunt, and she was not Mrs. Xing's daughter.Just taking her out to socialize is enough to make people praise their nephews for being kind.

Yuan Chun, who wanted to understand what was going on inside, couldn't sit still any longer, and knelt down in front of Jia Mu: "Grandmother, it's Yuan Chun who missed something, please forgive me. As for Yuan Chun's family members, if they come again, Yuan Chun will also disappear. .”

After hearing Yuan Chun's last words, Jia's mother felt relieved.But what should be known to Yuan Chun, she wants to explain it clearly to her today.So instead of asking Yuan Chun to act, Jia's mother said, "It's good if you can figure it out. I also told you before that your natal family is not profitable. It's not that they don't get close to you now. I miss your affection. But there are other secrets inside."

Seeing that Yuan Chun was puzzled again, Jia's mother continued, "Do you think why your aunt and I are so anxious to see him for you? It's just that there is a rumor in the palace that there will be a draft."

Draft?Yuan Chun read it silently in his heart, and then opened his eyes in disbelief: "Grandmother?!"

Mother Jia nodded: "The girls in your two uncles' families are not very old, and Wang Xifeng is also two years behind you, just not old enough for the draft. It's not that they have their idea on you. This is I want to win your heart first, and then I will let you and my family talk about wanting to enter the palace! But the daughter of my Jia family, when will it be the Wang family's turn to decide? I still want to serve as a stepping stone for the Wang family's wealth !"

Pulling Yuan Chun up and making her sit down, Mother Jia asked, "Grandmother is also asking you today, are you willing to serve people in the palace?"

It was the first time for Yuan Chun to associate herself with the imperial palace, but the years of hard work of the nuns in the palace were not in vain, and she immediately thought of the phrase "serve people" that the old lady said just now.Isn't it serving people?Her father is only a sixth-rank official, and she is not eligible to participate in the general election.Besides, even if he participated in the general election, it was almost the age of destiny, and he was much older than his father.Several princes also have concubines.Even if there is no concubine, there is still a glimmer of hope that she is the uncle's biological daughter, but Yuan Chun smiled bitterly in her heart because of her father's official position, and suddenly understood why her mother had to do so many things.

Not reconciled.The same sons of the Duke's Mansion, but one can be a noble, but the other can only be a small official of the sixth rank. In the future, he will be separated from the mansion, and he will not even be able to use the name in the mansion. How can he be reconciled?

But what if you are not reconciled?The situation is better than people, this is transparent, and this is where Yuan Chun is better than her mother: "Grandmother, the granddaughter did not say that she grew up with gold and jade, but she has always been served by someone, and the granddaughter has never served anyone. The nuns also said that the palace is more dangerous than the outside, and my granddaughter might not be so lucky."

"Okay!" Regardless of whether Yuan Chun didn't mean what he said at this time, as long as she knows that entering the palace will not bring any wealth and wealth, Jia's mother will praise her: "Ambition. It is worthy of being A girl from the government of our country. That's what we want, we can be full-bodied, have three matchmakers and six hires, and be full-fledged wives, so why should we bow our heads to others and make ourselves humble!"

Which girl does not have a dream of a bride in her heart, and has not dreamed of the day when she will meet her beloved in a red wedding dress?Yuan Chun was no exception, and was even more bewitched by the scene that Jia's mother had painted: "But what if the will comes down?"

Mother Jia patted her hand and said, "Why don't you and your aunt worry about something? Who doesn't want to keep the delicate girl in their family for two more years and live a happy life for two years. Let me just tell you today, your brother Brothers are all readers, and it seems that they can read well. So the family that your aunt and I showed you are also people who read. Such a family, first, the rules are stricter than Xunguili, and second It's not easy to get involved in any matter of seizing the heirloom, the only thing I want is to be stable in this world."

I also asked Mrs. Xing about why the Li family had some concerns about Yuan Chun. Don't think that the crimes committed by your mother really disappeared with time. When people with discerning eyes come to see each other, what happened? Don't inquire about it.

Only then did Yuan Chun realize that the old lady and aunt didn't ignore her, but were worried and angry for her, and the reason for all this was because of her mother.Thinking about it again, I still wondered if I was going to see Mrs. Wang in the Buddhist hall. I was ashamed and annoyed by such a thought, and even annoyed the Wang family who caused my idea.

Seeing Yuan Chun's pale face, Mother Jia had to comfort her.But no matter what kind of language, it is still a bit pale when it comes to marriage: one day Yuanchun's marriage is undecided, one day these words can only be comforting.

Fortunately, a letter from Lin Ruhai came in time, which resolved the embarrassment of Yuanchun's marriage.It turned out to be Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Rites, but now he is not a minister, but a doctor of the fourth rank.He also had a younger brother who was studying in the Imperial College, and when it was time to get married, the uncle entrusted the matter to the grandson doctor.His wife also met several times when Mrs. Zhang took Yuan Chun out. She was impressed by Yuan Chun's generosity and peace, and wanted to marry her brother.

It's just that the two families have no contact at all, and the brother's family is just a family of farming and studying. I am afraid that the Jia family will not look down on them.But his wife really thought that Yuanchun was a good person, so she remembered that Lin Ruhai was related to Ronghou's mansion in the same year, so she had to write to him to inquire about it.

Speaking of Jia Huan's life, he really dealt with Mr. Sun once or twice, and he could be regarded as a young talent. He was also doing well, and Jia Huan was already the prefect of the fourth rank when he saw it.

So even if Mother Jia was thinking to herself why her granddaughter and granddaughter's marriages were all settled in Lin Ruhai's family in the same year, she still had to sigh that Lin Ruhai still had some insight into people. They are also talented people.

It’s easy to say when you have a goal. With Lin Ruhai’s correspondence, Sun Langzhong and the Zhang family can be regarded as having some friendship. In the end, he entrusted the eldest wife of the Zhang family to become a big matchmaker—the second wife of the Zhang family and Ronghou’s mansion. She has already married her in-laws, and if she acts as a matchmaker, it will make people think that the Ronghou Mansion and the second wife of the Zhang family are exchanging marriages, which is not very pleasant to say.

As for the opinions of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, that's all for Jia Zheng. Now he has more trust in Jia Mu's words and will not object.As for Mrs. Wang, I'm sorry, she is just a living person, telling her that Yuan Chun's marriage is already settled is already good, who cares if she thinks that the Sun family's family status is too low to be worthy?

It was difficult to say, but it only took half a year, and the two children were settled, and Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief.But after a few days of relief, he heard Jia Zheng mention that he was tending to be squeezed out in the Ministry of Industry.

No need to ask, those who wanted to install people in Ronghou's mansion but failed, and those who wanted to use Yuanchun as a springboard but failed, couldn't get Jia Amnesty's handle, so they turned their brains on Jia Zheng's head : Who made his officials small and soft-spoken?

Fortunately, what Jia Zheng asked Li and Tan to teach in the past two years is not so politically savvy.He will never turn a blind eye to his colleagues in the ministry when he can greet them with a smile.But if people really embarrass him face to face, he can still fight back without being soft or hard, so that he is completely powerless to fight back.

In addition, although Jia Zheng is only a sixth-rank chief, it is not easy to bring his staff to the Yamen, but he has few things to do, and he comes back every day to talk to the two about what happened in the ministry, so there will be no omissions.Both of these two came along with Jia Daishan, even if the generals did not have the many twists and turns of the civil servants, the two of them had enough experience to hold them back, but those who made things difficult for Jia Zheng would do nothing.

But the days in the court are becoming more unsettled day by day.Firstly, the crown prince is often blamed, and nowadays people are picking on him everywhere, and then the three and six princes are being promoted repeatedly by today, even the Beijing camp also let the two intervene.

When Jia Jing learned that the two princes' cronies had entered the Beijing camp, he immediately pretended to be sick, so Jia Zhen was able to ask for leave and return home to take care of Jia Jing's illness.When Mother Jia heard the news, she felt that Jia Jing was really a sensible person. As for why this sensible person practiced Taoism in the original book, it was not something that Mother Jia should delve into in this life.

After Jia Zhen came back, she also came to Ronghou's mansion to pay her respects - Jia's mother and the others had been back to the mansion for more than half a year, and Jia Jing really never let Jia Zhen come back.

When I saw Jia Zhen again, I really felt a sense of estrangement: over the past few generations, Jia Mu and Jia Zhen didn't have many interactions, but I also quietly noticed this shameless person in the original book.At that time, Jia Zhen, although some nobles ordered her around, but the trivial expressions that appeared on her face from time to time turned the noble air into a dirty air.Now Jia Zhen is different, the sturdy aura on her body is irresistible.It was the breath of someone who had really been on the battlefield and seen blood.

To say that the world is still relatively peaceful now, and Jia Zhen is in a military camp, she shouldn't have such an aura on her body.After thinking about it, Jia's mother realized that Jia Jing sent Jia Zhen to the Beijing camp, but she didn't ask him to be gilded like other noble children.They treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and at the very least, let this black sheep not harm his family, that is, don't affect Jia Jing's precious Jinsun Jia Rong.

This Jia Zhen was freed by Jia Jing, and she was still in the capital camp where Wang Ziteng was. Even if someone had been asked to take care of her, it was still a matter of life and death.Even if this Prince Teng was Jia Zhen's direct superior, he was only a general in the Beijing camp, but if he wanted to make a fuss about Jia Zhen and send him into the ranks of suppressing bandits, no one would stop him.

In less than two years, Jia Zhen has changed from a big soldier to a corps leader?This is really what he killed with a knife and a gun.

"Okay, okay!" Mother Jia let Jia Zhen kneel on the ground for a while while her thoughts diverged.Fortunately, her age is already considered an old man in this era, and she has a poor memory, and she can be forgiven for acting out of order when things happen.

"Zhen'er has a bright future. This ancestor's mantle is really inherited by Zhen'er." Jia's mother said to Xiao Xu who accompanied her son to pay her respects.

When Xiao Xu talked about her son, she was proud and distressed: "Speaking of which, our master was cruel, and he insisted on stuffing Zhen'er into the Beijing camp that day. back."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "It is said that Yuping can't be cut. If you are not afraid of Zhen'er's anger, if your master is not so determined, Zhen'er is still fighting with a group of children every day. How can you do it?" If you don’t win the title, you will get this official robe.”

Jia Zhen had already sat down in silence at this time, even if Jia's mother said so to him, he just drank his own tea as if he didn't hear it.He didn't say a few words until Jia Mu asked him about his situation in the camp.As soon as he heard those words, he would report the good news but not the bad news. It didn't seem like there was any danger in it, but it seemed like he was going out to let the wind out when he was on a mission.

It seems that the incompetent and eccentric men of the Jia family really should go to the Beijing camp to hone their skills. Jia Zheng had Jia Baoyu in that life, and Jia Zhen in this life.Mother Jia has already thought about it, if she has another life, she still has to do it like this.

Little Xu's family is still nagging, saying that it was Jia Jing who prevented Jia Zhen from going home, so that Jia Rong is the only fourth generation in their house, thinking whether to put two people in Jia Zhen's house.Mother Jia looked at Jia Zhen secretly, and found that he was not at all excited to accept a concubine, and advised Xiao Xu: "My wife should not decide this matter by herself. If the master finds out, it will be another anger." It can be seen that this is not the first time such a drama has happened.

The little Xu heard Jia Zhen mention Jia Jing, so she ignored the topic, and asked about Jia Lian's marriage to Yuan Chun, and when she would see Jia Zhu.

Jia's mother said: "That child, Zhu'er, is an upright person. He has to get married after he has achieved fame. As elders, we don't want to burden the child. We just wait for when he wins the exam and say we are married." It looks better." The reason why he said that he was married is also Jia Mu's plan. In the original book, Jia Zhu was the one who passed the Juren, but the Jinshi did not, so you can't talk too much.

"It's just that we make a marriage agreement first, and we wait until Brother Zhu gets fame before we get married. Isn't it a breach of his oath?" Xiao Xu asked a little puzzled.
