The eldest son of the red mansion

"Yes, big brother, I'm a little worried about your sister being in the palace. What can you do to make her live more comfortably? Your sister still has something to contribute to our family." Mother Jia said in a side voice. .

After hearing what the two of them said, Jia Ke stood up quickly, first saluted Jia's mother, and then came to Mrs. Wang's side.

Jia Ke cupped her hands to Mrs. Wang and said, "There is a happy event that I didn't have time to talk about just now. Now I want to congratulate my mother first."

Mrs. Wang asked without knowing why: "What is my happy event? Why don't I know?"

Jia Ke arched her hands and said with a smile: "I heard from the eunuch below that the Supreme Emperor had already made a decree when he was about to die. He was a little dissatisfied with the current empress and wanted our virtuous concubine to be the empress, and the emperor has already agreed. .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and the smile on her face immediately bloomed. Looking at Jia Ke who was reporting to herself, she felt much more pleasing to the eye, and she was no longer as annoying as before.

But Mother Jia, who was sitting in the main seat, was not particularly happy when she heard this.Mother Jia was still thinking about the prophecy given to her by Taoist Zhang, that being the queen's grandmother would not be as happy as being the emperor's grandmother.Besides, Jia Ke is only one step away from that position now, even if Jia Ke wants to give up, she will never allow it, so she is not very excited about Jia Yuanchun being called the queen.

Jia Zhen, who was standing aside, heard this, and hurried over to salute Jia Zheng, "Congratulations uncle, congratulations uncle, our family seems to have a Cheng En Gong."

Jia Zheng was sitting there, stroking his beard with his hand, his face was a little smug, but he was still trying to keep his face serious, so it looked a little weird.

But Jia She, who was sitting across from him, felt very jealous, why did the second brother share this good thing by himself.The son is the prime minister with power over the court, the daughter is about to become the queen, and he is about to become Cheng Engong.

And Jia Lian was also very excited when he heard this, today is really a double happiness, and from now on he will be the number one playboy in the capital.

Chapter 510

Sitting on it, Mother Jia saw that they were so happy that she couldn't help herself. She coughed, and then said, "What's there to be happy about? This is just an expedient measure by the Supreme Emperor. It's just that our family is already in power. The government and the opposition, in order to win over our eldest brother, made Yuan Chun the Queen."

After listening to Jia Mu's words, Jia Ke couldn't help but nodded. Sure enough, Jiang was still hot, and Jia Mu didn't go through any official struggles. She could see the scheme of the Supreme Emperor just by virtue of experience, which was not easy.

After hearing Jia Mu's words, Jia Amnesty responded immediately: "It's still mother who thinks too far. We are only happy because Yuan Chun is going to be a queen. We are not as thorough as mother thinks."

However, Mrs. Wang gave Jia She a dissatisfied look. Isn't this just a show?I just had a bit of fun when I asked him to tear the fig leaf away again.

And Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said, "My mother is still thoughtful, and we still have little practice."

Sitting on the top, Jia's mother was all smiles, and she said to the people below: "You haven't experienced any major incidents. How do you know this, the Supreme Emperor went too far in order to paralyze the righteous and loyal old prince."

And Jia Baoyu felt a little curious when he heard Jia Mu's words.

"Old lady, tell us something."

Jia's mother looked at Jia Baoyu's curious eyes, thinking of Jia Lian, Jia Zhu and the others below, who didn't understand the situation at that time, and now tell them about the dangers in the court, and let them know the dangers in the court. Life is not easy.

So Jia's mother sat in the middle, with a look of reminiscence on her face, "At that time, the old prince was much more powerful than our eldest brother now. The military power of the world is almost in his hands, and half of the civil servants in the court are giving it to him." He speaks with such momentum that even the Supreme Emperor has to obediently listen to him."

When Jia's mother said this, Jia Amnesty couldn't help showing a smile of reminiscence. That time was the happiest time in his life. As a representative of the Jia family, he joined the old prince's command, and the old prince treated him very well. He attached great importance to it, and promised Jia Amnesty that once the matter was completed, he would definitely be named a marquis, so his life was glorious.

"When the Supreme Emperor saw the old prince, he had to stand up to greet him. Even after the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty declared his death many times, the old prince ascended the throne."

Jia Baoyu was a little curious that he had never experienced such a thing, "Then what happened afterwards?"

When Jia's mother said this, her face was a little gloomy, "The Supreme Emperor really deserves to be a great man of his generation. On the surface, he respects the old prince and even promises to this younger brother, but secretly sends people to divide and disintegrate the old prince."

When Jia's mother said this, she turned around and took a look at Jia Amnesty. Back then, for a little profit, this villain actually swayed from side to side, and because of this, her husband didn't immediately make a decision to help the old prince.

"By the time the old prince found out, more than half of the people in the capital were no longer under his control. At that time, the old king already knew that something was wrong, so he broke the boat and brought the remaining troops to besiege the palace."

Jia Ke was also very curious about this past event, and had already besieged the palace. Presumably, there were many old princes in the imperial guards, so why didn't they capture it in the end.

"The old prince is also a seed of infatuation. He had already attacked the Qianqing Gate. Who would have thought that although the empress dowager is pregnant, she still mounted the horse with a gun and brought the eunuchs around to block the old prince there."

When Jia Ke heard this, she knew that there might be some secret in it.

"And the Supreme Emperor took advantage of this time to escape from the palace, came to his own barracks, and then returned to the capital. The old prince was caught in the Qianqing Gate, unable to leave the palace to command, and finally the entire army was wiped out."

"In the end, Lao Wang was forced to leave the palace with his troops and returned to his mansion. In desperation, he had no choice but to take poison and commit suicide."

Jia Zheng and Jia She who were next to him were all stunned when they heard this. The two of them had personally experienced the situation at that time.

In order to preserve the prosperity of the Jia family, his father passed away soon, and Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion could only give up his bright future and go to a small Taoist temple in the suburbs to practice alchemy.

Seeing that the matter had been finished, Jia's mother said to the people below, "In that case, let's enter the palace and kowtow to the Supreme Emperor now, and don't let people say that we are villains."

Jia Zheng admired Confucianism very much, and nodded after hearing Jia Mu's words.But Jia Amnesty was a bit reluctant, he just had a drink in the room, and was thinking about going back to make up some more, but Jia Mu was going to the palace to kowtow to a dead man, thinking about it now, he felt unlucky.

And it was Qin Keqing who was standing next to Jia Ke, who stood up and saluted Jia's mother, and then said with a smile: "Since those who are of high grade have to enter the palace to kowtow to the Supreme Emperor, then I will invite our aunt to come too. Shall we go together?"

Mother Jia knew who she was talking about as soon as she heard it. In the past, this Aunt Zhou was inconspicuous, but now she cannot be ignored, "Okay, we should invite her here, she is a great contributor to our family. "

After Jia's mother finished speaking to Qin Keqing, she turned around and said to Shi Xiangyun, "Xiangyun should go too, don't let people say that we have no rules."

Jia's mother now feels that Shi Xiangyun is not wronged at all for marrying her grandson as a concubine. Now she is just a concubine, and a noble concubine will not be able to escape her in the future.

As for Aunt Zhou, let her hurry up to curry favor, otherwise it will be too late when Jia Ke has something to do.

While Shi Xiangyun sat there and listened to Jia Mu's words, the red cloud that had faded on his face rose again.She stood up timidly, came to Qin Keqing's side, saluted Qin Keqing, and then stopped talking.

Qin Keqing listened to Mother Jia's order, knew what she meant, and felt very awkward in her heart. Shi Xiangyun, who had no name, title and no order, even followed them into the palace and kowtowed to the Supreme Emperor. This is beyond courtesy.

But the old lady was still watching from above, and she couldn't express anything, so Qin Keqing turned around and took Shi Xiangyun's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, my aunt is very kind, and we will have a care when we go together."

Shi Xiangyun nodded with a blushing face, and then quietly glanced at Jia Ke, only to see him sitting there looking over, the two of them looked at each other, and immediately separated.

Qin Keqing didn't seem to have seen this scene, so she took Shi Xiangyun and left Jia Mu's room.

As soon as the two of them left, Mrs. Xing looked at Wang Xifeng and said with a smile: "Second Grandma Lian, we can hardly live there anymore, please be merciful to Second Grandma Lian, and let us release the monthly money."

As soon as Wang Xifeng heard this, her face turned livid, but she didn't dare to neglect the etiquette. She stood up hurriedly, came to Mrs. Xing, knelt down on her knees and said: "Returning to mother, the past few days The shop outside didn't have enough money, so the monthly payment was only a few days late, I thought it would be sent out today, but I didn't know there was some delay."

For such a pungent person as Wang Xifeng, facing Mrs. Xing's accusations, she could only kneel there and wait for her reprimand. This is feudal ethics. Even when you have the ability to face your elders, you have to obediently listen to the training.

Now, Mother Jia didn't excuse Wang Xifeng like she did just now, because Mother Jia knew the current situation of Rongguo Mansion, not to mention the monthly money, it would be a trivial matter to spend a few thousand taels more every month, so Mother Jia wanted Wang Xifeng to know The seriousness of the matter.

Mrs. Wang saw that Wang Xifeng was accused in court, but she couldn't open her mouth to defend Wang Xifeng, because she had indeed made a mistake in this matter. The Rongguo Mansion is so glorious, how could it be so short of money.

Mrs. Xing saw Wang Xifeng kowtowed to her, and the old lady was sitting on top, so she couldn't be too hard on Wang Xifeng, so she could only say, "If that's the case, let's forget it this time. I'm not worried about those people Monthly money, it’s because the little maids below are living very hard, relying on these few months ago to support the old lady at home.”

Not to mention the hustle and bustle in Jia Mu's room, as soon as Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun left the yard, a servant girl came over. Among them, Ruizhu came to Qin Keqing and asked, "Grandma, where are we going?"

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "I have something to go out in a while, so I invite our aunt to come over with me."

The two of them took their maidservants to the outside of Jia Mu's yard, passed through the chaoshou verandah, and headed for Rongxi Hall.

On the road, Shi Xiangyun asked Qin Keqing who was walking in front: "Is my aunt really easy to talk to? When I came to the mansion, I was always careless, so I won't accidentally offend my aunt."

Shi Xiangyun was indeed a little worried. He never thought that he would marry Jia Ke as a concubine, so he might be a bit inappropriate for Jia Zheng's aunt.

Qin Keqing replied with a smile: "It's okay, our aunt is the most kind, but she is reluctant to scold the little maid in front of her, let alone you."

Only then did Shi Xiangyun feel relieved, but Cui Ling, who was walking behind Shi Xiangyun, said innocently: "Miss, you don't have to worry, there is no one who doesn't like a cute person like you."
