Chapter 114 Angry
After many years, Jia Min finally rested with her mother again.
Mother and daughter often report good news but not bad news when writing letters, but now that they are together, Jia Mu naturally has to ask her daughter carefully, how is Lin Ruhai, how much does he do in the Xunyan Yushi Yamen all day long? What, the servants in the house are all obedient and loyal, etc.
Jia Min still had lingering fears about the servants at home, so she wrote to the sister-in-law of Dongfu. She told her mother about the shocking results of the investigation, "...all the slaves have a heart for wealth and a pair of decent eyes." , I wish I could all get into the eyes of money, but now the family is no longer as good as when my father was around. Although Lian'er has been appointed to the Arsenal Department again, but now Shuanglong is in power, many situations are not clear, and mother still has to let Feng'er and the others She has good control over her family and servants. "
Fortunately, the family has been reorganized several times, otherwise, she would have made a huge mess when she came back.
"Feng Yatou is very good."
Jia Mu patted her daughter's hand and said, "How can I not know what kind of servants are at home? That's right, your father has gone. , your eldest brother and your second brother can't stand up, they have rich slaves at home, and people outside don't know about it, but they still respect it. "
There is no way.
If you are too honest, you will be bullied.
Beijing is another place where everyone pushes against the wall.
But a slave is always a slave.
No matter how many people steal, a word from the master can still bring them back to their original form.
Jia Mu never worried about this.
"Now that the Lai family has collapsed, although your second sister-in-law, the housekeeper, has made some money over the years, it has basically been filled back by Zhou Rui's family."
The old lady is quite satisfied with this. "This house..., there won't be any more chaos."
After the family separation, the eldest son is still as filial as ever. She also has a private house of her own, and her two daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are with her every day. Flattery here.
Jia Mu was quite satisfied, "Now, I only worry about your second brother having a room together." She told her daughter about the jade piece of Baoyu and the current rumors, "...I don't know. Will doing this have any impact on Zhuer? "
Although she still loves Baoyu, she doesn't dare to think about his future in the court. "If it still has an impact on Zhuer, you two. From now on, we will really have to rely on your eldest brother and the others to live in this room."
Jia Min: "..."
When encountering danger, it is the eldest brother and his family. Lian'er and her nephew in the next room rushed to the rescue.
She is back, and the second brother is happy to see her safe, but obviously, he is more concerned about what he wants to pay attention to.
Jia Min had already asked someone to check where his second brother had gone. He really didn’t know if he didn’t check. Once he checked... he was so angry that he lost his temper.
His biological sister had not come back for more than ten years, and finally came back with her life. He did not ask to spend more time with her, but went to the Wang family to find Wang Ziteng.
Oh~
If only Wang Ziteng could be helped up, he wouldn't have been tricked, and he still can't find out until now.
Besides, there will be no fighting in the Beijing camp for the time being, and he, the chief officer, does not need to mount his horse to kill the enemy, so why should he go home to recuperate?
My uncle had been seriously ill several times before, but which time did he go home?
The second brother went to Wang Ziteng's house. If any of them were sensible, considering that the two families were so close, they should send someone to greet her even if he couldn't come.
But the Wang family did not respond, and the second brother did not remind him...
Jia Min has been in Jiangnan for many years, and is somewhat aware of the false aloofness of some incompetent scholars.
Her second brother was probably that kind of person, who could never grasp the key points, and put on a noble face when it came to people who really needed his attention.
"Mother!"
Jia Min sighed softly, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Baoyu's jade... You don't have to worry, the second brother can't stand up. Yes, he has not made any progress in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, which shows that there is something wrong with him. It is good that the adults in the ministry do not assign him work, and he does not have to bear any responsibility. "
Honestly. Retire there!
"As for Zhu'er..., you don't have to worry. He is just Baoyu's brother. Even if he passes the official examination, we will have to stay in the Hanlin Academy for several years if we count on the best."< br>
Her husband was the top pick. Although Pearl was doing well when she was a child, the article he sent to her husband last year and he also read it to her, she could only be considered above average.
The top three are absolutely impossible.
I just hope that the ranking can be a little higher and not fall to the same Jinshi.
"It is more difficult for the children of the Wuxun family to take the path of civil servants."
Jia Min could only hint to her mother in advance that Zhuer was not a stunningly talented person, Baoyu's That piece of jade has no influence on him, "Especially in the capital, but in foreign affairs... The master told me that if there is a chance in the future, it would be better for Zhuer to slowly move up from the local level."
Jia Mu: "..."
The old lady understood somewhat and sighed quietly in her heart.
"What about Baoyu? Can he also be an examiner?"
"Of course!"
Jia Min comforted her mother, "Second sister-in-law always likes to compete with eldest brother and the others. What does Baoyu have to do with making a piece of jade to compete for favors? Many adults in the court heard that their mother dreamed of something when she was born, so everyone just listened. "
As long as it's not true. It's too excessive and too independent, and the imperial envoy will not criticize it casually.
“But you must also be mentally prepared. After all, he was born in the Jia family, and his official career, like Zhuer’s, will be more difficult than that of ordinary civil servants.”
Several children Today, when we talk about college, Jia Min also listens to it, and Baoyu is like a younger son.
The master often said that Chang'an is not as smart as Daiyu. In the future, in addition to hard work, you will also have to rely on luck in the exams. The top three places are unlikely.
Dazhao is so big that there are many geniuses from all over the country.
Jia Min had long been mentally prepared, "No matter how difficult it is, it is only for their generation."
She is still happy for her mother's family, "The Jia family can withdraw from the army safely, and the children can safely pursue a civil service career. My father Knowing that, I can only be happy."
"...That's right."
Jia Mu felt a little unhappy.
She finally realized what the problem that had been confusing her was.
In the eyes of her old grandmother, both Zhuer and Baoyu have great potential in the future.
It was as if the second son and the second daughter-in-law had been telling her that Yuan Chunsheng would have a good life and would have great potential in the future.
But now, Yuanchun is marrying Marquis Xinping, and from now on she will be Mrs. Hou.
It is a great joy for the whole family when someone else’s daughter becomes a Marquis, but in their family... it’s just like that.
She herself is a first-class wife of the Duke of the country. The Jia family has reached the top with her father-in-law, and her man is not bad either.
She used to frequent the inner courtyard of the palace.
Mrs. Hou’s stay in the Jia family is just fine.
Zhuer and Baoyu will not have the help of the harem in the future. From Wu Xun to civil servant, I told my daughter that it will definitely be more difficult, and the third grade may be the end.
What does a third-grade official or a civil servant mean to the royal family?
No wonder the niece-in-law of Dongfu didn’t use the piece of jade to press her second daughter-in-law.
"Min'er," the old lady said, leaning towards her daughter, "your father said at the beginning that you were smarter than your brothers. As my mother gets older, what will happen to the family in the future..."
< br>"Tell me and I will help you think about it together."
Jia Min was also very sad.
Her mother lived a prosperous life, but when she got old, she had to bear the huge gap of the family's decline. "If it is urgent and it is too late to write a letter, you can go to the sister-in-law of Dongfu, and she will definitely take care of it. ”
She has already intervened in many things in Xifu.
Just letting her nieces go there to study, Jia Min felt that besides her liking for fun and girls, there was something more.
“Hmm~”
Jia Mu was also relieved about Shen Ning.
It’s just that she is the niece-in-law in the next room.
No matter how close you are, you can never be as close as your own children.
"It would be great if Ru Hai could be transferred to Beijing."
The old lady sighed, "It's so chaotic over there in Jiangnan..."
"Ru Hai has him. "My own ambitions."
Jia Min is also concerned about it, but she knows better what her husband is like. "He still has a lot of things to do in Jiangnan. When he is done, he will go to Beijing."< br>
"Then you..."
Jia Mu's eyes couldn't help but look forward to it.
“I finally came back, so naturally I have to stay at home for a while.”
The Lin family has a house in Beijing. Although Jia Min sent someone to clean it up early, she didn’t think about it. Move there immediately.
She has been away from home for many years, and she also misses her home.
Especially when my mother is older.
"Even if they leave one day, Chang'an and Daiyu will still be at home."
"Okay, okay!"
The old lady was satisfied and chatted with her daughter about homely matters. I fell asleep unconsciously.
At this time, Mrs. Wang of Lixiangyuan was not sleepy at all.
Jia Zheng left again.
Went to find that little vixen again.
Since moving here, he has never spent the night here once! When Jia Min came back today, he didn't do anything to her.
Mrs. Wang pulled at the thin quilt, feeling very hateful.
But she can't do anything to Aunt Zhao.
She used to be too aggressive towards Aunt Zhou, but now...
Bang bang~
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she beat the bed.
She really couldn't swallow this breath.
Especially the two children born to the little vixen have already been married off, so she, the legitimate mother, has even less to control them.
Mrs. Wang gasped for breath.
I regret that the piece of jade that promoted Baoyu was not promoted. With Baoyu's status as a direct descendant, I could have ordered more things for him from the public.
But now?
He and Jia Huan are actually the same.
No, absolutely not!
Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and thought hard.
It's hard for her to take action here. Feng'er may use Yingchun to talk things over with Cong Xiaozi. As long as she can get their wedding money in hand, Tanchun and Huan'er... , she can take it out.
Yes, that’s it.
“Here comes someone.”
“Madam!”
The little maid hurried over.
“Go and ask Mistress to come over.”
Huh?
Call me Second Grandma?
The little maid was shocked.
Second Master finally came back from Jiangnan.
Today, neither the old lady nor the eldest lady asked the second grandma to serve the dinner. They only asked her family to serve the second master well. Their wives...
"What are you doing standing there? Go quickly. . "
Mrs. Wang shouted, and the little maid hurriedly responded with a 'yes' and hurriedly ran to call for someone.
My wife has done this before, calling her second grandma in the middle of the night. This time... it should be nothing, right?
"Who is it?"
Hearing the sound in the room, the mother-in-law didn't want to get up.
"Mom, I am Jin Chuan'er in my wife's house."
She raised her voice and called out, "Our wife is going to ask the second mistress to come over."
What?
The mother-in-law, who didn't want to get up at first, got busy when she heard it was Jin Chuan'er, "Why did the madam call us grandma? It's late at night."
She is the dowry of the second mistress. The mother-in-law is also from the Wang family, so she naturally faces them.
What's more, the family has just been separated. Although we know that the second wife and their grandmother are two heads of households, it is not wrong for the servants to report more and run some errands.
“I don’t know!”
Jin Chuan’er said: “Maybe the wife has thought of something and wants to give instructions to the second grandma!”
As she spoke, she entered the courtyard and was about to go in to call someone, but she didn't expect that the door to the wing opened and Ping'er came out. "It's too late," she lowered her voice, "No matter what Let's wait until tomorrow. I will tell grandma tomorrow."
"No, our wife is screaming."
"Grandma is very tired."
< br>When Ping'er said this, his face was a little red, and of course he was a little angry in his heart.
The second master finally came back. Even the old lady and his wife were taking care of the young couple. The second wife was going too far. "What's the emergency at this late night? It's really urgent, sir." He will definitely call us Second Master too."
Jin Chuan'er: "..."
Looking at Ping'er's stern expression, she finally flinched, "Okay, I'll go back to my wife. Go.”
She came to report, but Ping’er wouldn’t let her in, so she couldn’t do anything.
Jinchuaner quickly retreated.
In Lixiangyuan, Mrs. Wang is still waiting.
At this time, she also realized that it was inappropriate to call people now.
However, she is her aunt and the biological aunt who raised Jia Lian.
Although they are separated, she should be closer than Xing's step-mother-in-law.
Even Lian'er, if you are sensible, you should come over and ask her what's going on.
Mrs. Wang felt that she should hold the young couple in her hands.
As long as Lian'er and Feng'er are in hand, even if the Rongguo Mansion is divided, it means there is no separation.
Brother, do you think you are so powerful after moving to Rongxi Hall?
Hmph~
She also wanted to show them that except for the Rongxi Hall, they still had nothing to gain.
Mrs. Wang sat up and waited for the young couple to come over.
It was very quiet at night, and the sound of footsteps could travel far. She could really hear the sound of Jin Chuan'er coming back, but...
When she realized that neither Jia Lian nor Wang Xifeng came, Mrs. Wang looked extremely ugly. .
When he heard that Jin Chuan'er didn't even knock on the door, he was stopped by Ping'er, whose eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Mrs. Wang wished she could yell at Jin Chuan'er to make another trip, but she also knew that her troubles in the middle of the night were known to the old lady and her eldest brother, and even Jia Min knew about it. There will be no good fruit to eat.
"That's what Ping'er said?"
She tried to suppress the anger in her heart and tried to keep her voice calm.
"Yes!"
"Okay, okay!"
Mrs. Wang was wondering who Ping'er's mother was and how to get her place back.
As an old servant of the Wang family, it is really...
not to treat her as an old aunt of the Wang family.
"Then I'll wait for them to come tomorrow morning!"
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth.
She couldn't help but suspect that because of Jia Lian's official position, that girl completely fell in love with the big house.
The same is true for my niece Feng'er.
"Go down!"
"Yes!"
Jinchuaner went down carefully. Mrs. Wang was sitting on the bed, but even Jia Zheng started to hate her.
If he was not promising and had been an official for so many years without moving, how could he be surpassed by his nephew?
As soon as she thought of Jia Lian, an officer in the Arsenal Department, she couldn't help but pull up the quilt.
With this official here, her elder brother would probably value Feng'er even more.
Hateful, her son...
When she thought that even if Zhu'er passed the Jinshi examination next year, she would have to start from the seventh rank, Mrs. Wang couldn't control the distortion on her face.
Why do all the benefits come from big houses?
Isn’t her Zhuer a hundred times better than Jia Lian?
Mrs. Wang was so angry and resentful that she didn't fall asleep until dawn.
She felt a little heavy in the morning, so she didn't get up right away, waiting for Wang Xifeng to come over.
But the newlyweds were already deeply in love, and they had been separated for several months. When they woke up in the morning and had regained their strength, of course they had to compensate themselves hard.
The maids and women in the courtyard are also happy that their masters are loving and loving, and they will not disturb the scenery.
Mrs. Wang waited until she was about to serve the old lady for breakfast, then she left bitterly.
However, when she went, it was already a bit late. Mrs. Xing came over early to say hello.
"Sister, are you going to Dongfu today?"
Mrs. She is very enthusiastic.
Although she knows that this is mainly because the master rushed to save her life, she should also be kind to others if they are good to her.
“Yes!”
Jia Min smiled, “Sister-in-law, let’s come too!”
“Okay!”
Mrs. Xing likes Dongfu, He agreed on the spot, "Sister-in-law, there is imperial wine there, let's coax some out and drink some today."
