After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Besides, after Mrs. Xing came out of Jia Amnesty's study disheveledly, after thinking about it, she was not reconciled, so she recruited her confidant Wang Shanbao's family and asked her to spread a few truths secretly.

Isn't it the truth?

"The grandson is the crown prince of a country, under one person, above ten thousand people. I don't know how many housekeepers want to serve tea and water for the grandson. Although our sister Yuan is somewhat beautiful, she is more beautiful than Miss Yuan. It’s not that there is no one. Where can I definitely choose?”

Rumors are rumors because they spread quickly.

And the greatest power of rumors is that during the process of spreading, they will be constantly added with oil and sauce, and when they go around and spread back to the source, the person spreading the rumors will not recognize that it is what he once said. that happened.

After this sentence came out of Wang Shanbao's family, it changed almost instantly, and when Wang heard it, it had already become, "How can I be selected based on Sister Yuan's qualifications?"

This made Wang furious, and hurriedly asked someone to investigate who was talking nonsense.

But none of the people in Wang's hands are proficient in tracking. At this time, how can they figure it out?

She had no choice but to ask Mother Jia for help.

However, at this time, Mother Jia also heard the rumor.But after this rumor reached Jiamu's ears, it changed again.

"I heard that many people sent gifts to the family of Jin Langzhong in the household department, just to let their daughters be selected smoothly. Our sister Yuan is not very qualified, and the old lady and wife don't know how to give gifts to Jin Langzhong. I'm afraid it will be the first round, and someone will brush it off."

If Jin Langzhong heard this, he would definitely cry out for being wronged.

——God knows, their household department is just in charge of registering the beautiful girls who sign up.As for which one can be selected, that is the matter of the saint and the grandson.These courtiers, how dare they intervene at will?

But Mother Jia felt that it made sense.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn millstones.Jia's mother firmly believes that if she wants to succeed, she cannot do without management.

She was also negligent before, and only thought of teaching Yuanchun to take care of the nuns and maids in the palace, but forgot that the household department is the first level.

Therefore, when Mrs. Wang arrived at Chunxi Hall, she heard Jia's mother say, "Your arrival is just in time."

Mrs. Wang paused, quickly suppressed the anger on her face, and asked, "I don't know what orders the old lady has?"

Jia Mu said: "You go and prepare some gifts that you can sell and send them to the Jin Langzhong in the Ministry of Households."

"Jin Langzhong?" Mrs. Wang quickly realized that Jin Langzhong was responsible for registering beautiful women from the household department.

But Mrs. Wang felt that instead of looking for Jin Langzhong, it would be better to go directly to Shi Nai, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Moreover, his reasons were quite good, and Mother Jia was quickly persuaded by her.

"We and the Shi family are also old relatives. Even if we put this aside, the Shi family is also the mother's family of the old lady, and Mr. Shi is also the master's cousin, Yuan Chun's cousin."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Yuan Chun, who was standing by the side, and said, "If Yuan Chun is going to be successful in the future, is it possible that he will forget to support his cousin?"

Jia Mu nodded thoughtfully, "You are right."

After all, Yuan Chun was young and the city was not yet deep. At this moment, he finally couldn't help asking: "But old lady, madam, my cousin is already an extremely human minister, so why do I need others to support me?"

These words were like a merciless hand, which immediately took off the fig leaf of Jia Mu and Wang's, and exposed their despicable thoughts to the sun.

Mrs. Wang's complexion immediately became ugly, and she shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yuan Chun trembled in fright, realizing that she might have said something wrong... No, what she said was the truth, but she shouldn't have told her grandmother and mother at this time.

Jiamu's city was deep, and although her complexion changed a bit, she quickly recovered as if nothing had happened, and said, "You are young and have little experience. How many important officials in the previous dynasty, their lives were ruined." In the harem? With your help watching, your cousin will feel much more at ease."

Yuan Chun also didn't know anything about official affairs.But she always felt that there was something wrong with what her grandmother said, but she couldn't tell why.

Therefore, she had no choice but to agree, and bowed her head in silence.

Wang's complexion improved now, and she discussed with Jia's mother about asking Shi Nai to help deliver the message to Jin Langzhong.

From what they thought, Shi Nai was the Minister of the Household Department, the highest official of the Household Department.As long as he said a word, how could Jin Langzhong not listen?I'm afraid it's better than sending more treasures.

What they thought was right, but they selectively ignored the fact that Shi Nai was willing to help them.

She handed out greetings the day before, and came to the door the next day. It was Yan who brought Xiangyun and Sujie to receive their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Welcoming people into the main hall, seven-year-old Xiangyun and five-year-old Sujie greeted the two unusual elders under Yan's gesture.

Mother Jia said lovingly, "They are all good boys." They gave each other gifts.

Then, Yan asked their siblings to go back to study.

Because of her need for others, Mrs. Wang rarely praised other people's children, "My brother and sister raised the two children really well. At such a young age, they are diligent and persistent, and they will be the top talents in the future."

Yan smiled faintly, and said: "For people like us, studying is only for the sake of being polite, and it doesn't mean that you are an official because of reading."

Sujie was enlightened at the age of three, and it has been two years now.

To be honest, his aptitude is very average, even worse than the handsome Xiangyun.

Yan Shi was also unhappy because of this matter, feeling that Xiangyun stole the limelight from his son.It was Shi Nai who explained her, saying that for people like them, whether they study well or not doesn't affect their future official career at all.

He also said that Xiangyun is a girl, no matter how well she studies, she is just a hero in the crowd, so what does it matter?

Only then did Yan let go of his worries, but he didn't really like others boasting that Su Jie was good at studying.

Because, after knowing his son's qualifications, no matter how you hear this, there is a sense of ridicule.

However, she also knew that the purpose of saying this was to flatter her, and she had absolutely no bad intentions.She can only accept it with a smile, and then praise it back.

But every time Jiamu and Wang's came to visit, nothing good happened, and she didn't like Jiamu and Wang herself, so naturally she had nothing good to say.

Wang's face was embarrassing, but he was secretly angry.Mother Jia winked at her quickly, telling her to restrain herself.

Mother Jia originally thought that no matter what she did, she was an elder, and Shi Nai should come to see her.

But after waiting and waiting, she drank three bowls of tea, and Shi Nai was nowhere to be seen. She couldn't help asking, "Where is Nai'er?"

Yan looked at her strangely, and said, "Of course the master is on duty at the household department."

——Today is not a holiday, which official is not on duty?

Mother Jia was embarrassed for a moment.

Because on weekdays, Jia Zheng went home after midnight at the Ministry of Industry, but she forgot that officials had fixed holidays.

But she quickly adjusted her mood.

——Shi Nai isn't here, isn't Shi Nai's wife still here? It's the same with Yan Shi.

So, she motioned for Mrs. Wang to speak, explaining her intentions.

When Yan Shi heard this, she politely refused.

Because, Shi Nai had told her early in the morning: It is best for them as courtiers not to meddle in the affairs of the monarch's family.Otherwise, it would be easy to get involved in the secret affairs of the palace, and the whole family would die without knowing why.

But since Mother Jia put down her dignity and went to the door in person, how could she let it go?

She immediately became unhappy, "Nai'er, daughter-in-law, we are all one family. If Yuanchun is coming, will you forget about Nai'er's cousin?"

Yan rolled her eyes secretly, and said in her heart: Regardless of whether she is promising or not, as long as she enters the grandson's harem, she will definitely steal blood from the historian first.Don't say that our master doesn't care about these things, even if he does, it's just trying to keep her from being selected.

But now that Shi Nai is in a high position, as Shi Nai's wife, she should pay more attention to her words and deeds while a wife is more valuable than her husband.

Because there will be many people with malicious intentions who will set their sights on her and try to find a breakthrough from her to attack Shi Nai's career.

You know, in this era when morality is higher than the law, if a person has a lack of personal morality, half of his official career will be ruined.

Therefore, she had no choice but to bear the impatience in her heart, and said to Jiamu in a good voice: "Auntie, it's not that the nephew and daughter-in-law deliberately shirked, but the master specifically confessed that we, as courtiers, are not qualified to meddle in the saint's family affairs."

Wang said: "I didn't let him intervene, I just wanted him to say hello to Jin Langzhong."

Yan's heart said: It is necessary to say hello, lest someone act in the name of my master and ruin our master's reputation.

Then, she still resolutely rejected Wang's proposal: "Our master has always distinguished public and private affairs. How can public affairs and private affairs be confused?"

Perhaps Yan's attitude today was too polite, which gave them some illusions; or it might be that Jia's mother was so cunning that she guessed something from Yan's attitude.

In short, if the Yan family didn't agree, they just didn't mention the matter of leaving.Even if Yan Shi revealed the meaning of seeing off the guests, they pretended not to understand.

Yan's heart was annoyed, but she had no choice but to sit with them dryly, and after a quarter of an hour, she asked someone to exchange tea.

When Xiangyun and Sujie finished today's class and were about to look for Yan's coquetry to eat snacks, Tian Yu's family stopped them outside the main courtyard, "Girl, master, you should go play elsewhere first."

The siblings looked at each other, and Xiangyun asked, "Sister Tian, ​​what's the matter? Is auntie okay?"

Su Jie also looked at Tian Yu's house curiously.

Tian Yu's family curled their lips and said: "It's not the old aunt, the tea has been changed for seven or eight rounds, and she still refuses to leave."

Su Jie was puzzled, "Why are they staying at our house?"

Xiangyun said: "They must have asked Auntie for something, but Auntie couldn't agree."

Tian Yu's family said: "Should I let the girl guess?"

Su Jie frowned: "I don't like my aunt."

Xiangyun: "I don't like it either."

——This aunt, every time she sees her, she has to say something inexplicable.He also said that uncle and aunt were sincere to her.

She is not a fool, who treats her well and who treats her badly, can't she tell the difference?

Yes, the maids serving her are only half of the young ladies of other male monkeys, but there are not many maids and women around her.

Moreover, when it comes to clothes and jewelry, Auntie Ke has never treated her badly.

She felt that what the aunt said made sense: Is there enough people to serve?From that spare money, I can save up two more things to pack, so why spend it on paying monthly money to the extra servants?

Hmph, it's fine to talk nonsense in front of her in the past, but you actually dare to embarrass your aunt.

Xiangyun rolled his eyes and showed a smile that was somewhat similar to Shi Nai: "Sister Tian..."
