The Return of Lord Qiang of the Red Mansion System

Although there was a big commotion just now, everyone who came to see the opening today knew Jia Qiang's identity, and naturally knew that he had an uncle who didn't make much progress.So, like Jia Lian, he automatically took the previous farce as Jia Zhen's invitation.Naturally, he has no grudges against his little boss.

However, despite the good reputation, the business of the shop is not good.Generally, on the day of opening, either to watch the excitement, or to join in the show, there is always a lot of money.But maybe this Siamese item is too flashy, with the appearance of a nouveau riche, and arty and sophisticated adults are unwilling to buy it.It took less than 50 taels of silver for the shop to open a few hours ago.

At this time, Uncle Sheng's smile was a bit forced, but Jia Qiang was still at ease.When he was playing with a crystal ball inlaid with gold and treasures, someone opened the curtain of the backyard and walked over.He looked up and saw that it was Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was embarrassed to go into details about the fight in front of a little nephew, looked around, and said without words: "I have sent Lao Rui back—Qiang'er, the things you sell in this shop are not good. , are too fancy, only children like it. Serious adults, who would buy these with money?"

Jia Qiang said: "It's not certain. I heard from people in the market that the God of Wealth is the most unpredictable. Maybe this time he will come to my shop?"

Just as Jia Lian was about to speak, a person suddenly came in from outside the door, and ran to Jia Lian at a trot: "Second Master, the old lady and the elder are looking for you to go back, saying that there is something urgent."

The person who came was Lai Da, the manager of the Rong Mansion, he was quite respectable, and the masters usually treat him with a pleasant face.If there is nothing important, the old lady and Mrs. Wang will not order him easily.Seeing that it was him who came, Jia Lian quickly asked, "Why is it so important that you are here all the time?"

Lai Da was beaming with joy, his face was flushed, and his huge rosacea nose turned purple because of excitement: "A happy event, a great happy event! Although it didn't happen, but according to the old lady, I have at least [-]% certainty. Two Grandpa please go home!"

"The old lady said? Could it be Missy's—"

Thinking of certain rumors, Jia Lian couldn't help but clapped his hands with joy.Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Jia Qiang's "confused" face, and hurriedly dragged him along: "This is a happy event for the two prefectures, let's go!"

Jia Qiang only had time to say to Uncle Sheng, "You take care of her first", before she couldn't help being taken away by Jia Lian.

He pinched the time and reckoned that it must be that matter, but he still asked Jia Lian pretending to be strange: "Second Uncle Lian, why are you so anxious?"

"Shouldn't you be in a hurry for the big girl's wedding in the Rong Mansion?" Jia Lian smiled and whipped her whip again, urging her horse away: "She has been in the palace for a few years, and those who went in together are not as good-looking and talented as she is." She, however, was promoted faster than her. The second lady was worried about this matter. Fortunately, a fortune teller said that the eldest girl is a fate that goes through many troubles. As long as she endures that period of time, she will get more good fortune than the world. A lot. A month ago, there was a rumor that His Majesty was grateful for the diligent service of the concubines in the harem, and wanted to give the old people all the titles. This time it is good, and it will definitely fall into the hands of the young lady!"

"So that's it." Jia Qiang said "surprised" at the right time, "Could it be that our family is going to have a noble concubine? If so, wouldn't we become the emperor's in-laws? It really is a happy event!"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a child. The emperor and us are monarchs and ministers, so we can't be in-laws. But it is a hundred benefits for our family that the eldest girl can become an imperial concubine. Just wait and see, you will have fun in the future. "

"Well, when I turn around, my nephew will congratulate the old lady and the second wife."

Jia Qiang answered beautifully, but she was sneering in her heart: Before she could believe it, her bones were already lightened a little, and Jia Lian was already a figure who could be counted on among the younger generation of Jia's family. .Without a decent person to support the appearance, even without the disaster of ransacking the house a few years later, Jia's mansion would not be prosperous for long.

When I arrived at the Rong Mansion, from the servants to the master, everyone was really happy.All the wives of my family were present, surrounded Mrs. Wang like stars and moons to flatter them, and even Jiamu stepped aside temporarily.

After hearing the auspicious words from everyone, and thinking of the wealth and honor in the future, Mrs. Wang tried her best to pretend to be calm, but she was so happy that her hands were shaking.She treated Jia Lian very kindly in the open, and covered up her dirty thoughts very well.Seeing him come back, he quickly waved: "I just got the letter, and in two hours, His Majesty will issue the canonization edict. This is a happy event for your eldest sister, so I sent someone to bring you back. "

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "I've been thinking about this too, and I came back as soon as I heard what Housekeeper Lai said. Today, not only the eldest sister is overjoyed, but the second wife is also overjoyed!"

Mrs. Xing has always been a bit pissed about the second room, and now she heard that Yuan Chun was going to be promoted to the imperial concubine, and she felt sour as if she had knocked over the vinegar vat.Seeing his son treat Mrs. Wang so respectfully, he felt even more frustrated.While Jia Lian was seated, he quietly twisted his arm and reprimanded him, "I've never been so hard on your mother!"

Jia Lian said aggrievedly: "Didn't the second wife just secure the matchmaker for me? I should be more polite to a daughter-in-law who is like a fairy."

"You have a daughter-in-law and forget about your mother--" Madam Xing didn't dare to say more in front of everyone, for fear of being overheard and causing trouble.After mumbling a few words, he dropped his hands and continued to sit and sulk.

Thousands of years later, there is a saying: From the character of women, you can know the character of their men.Although Jia Qiang had never heard of this sentence, she also saw the shadows of Xing and Wang in She and Jing.The difference is that Jia She is an official at any rate, and he is better at covering up than his wife.However, it would be more perfect if the jealousy in his eyes was not so obvious when he congratulated Jia Zheng.

Jia Qiang looked coldly at the faces of all the beings in Jia's mansion, her eyes flicked past them one by one.Seeing Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng were all happy to see their teeth but not their eyes, a faint sarcasm could not be felt at the corner of their mouths.The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, let these people have more fun for a while!

On this side, the congratulatory people said that their throats were dry, and they all drank tea to moisten their throats, and the room was rarely quieter.As soon as the teacup was put down, Youshi suggested again: "It will be evening when the palace decree comes out. Why don't you prepare a banquet first, then invite the father-in-laws to drink before leaving, the eldest sister will have face in the palace."

Mrs. Wang thought about it, and it was really good: "You are very right, you still have the heart."

After being praised by her, Youshi's face suddenly glowed.Ever since her natal family was defeated, she felt uncomfortable when she saw anyone, fearing that the other party would make fun of her.The old lady and the second grandmother who were in power in the Rong Mansion tried their best to curry favor, hoping that with a backer, they would be able to stand firm.

Here Jin Chuan'er and Zhou Rui's family saw Mrs. Wang nodded, and hurried to the kitchen to spread the word.Coincidentally, there are not many things in the kitchen today, and it will be ready for the daily use of the masters and children.I heard that there will be a banquet to entertain the people in the palace, and there will be celebrations later, the lady in charge of the kitchen asked quickly: "But believe me? If I have all the preparations here and don't need them, wouldn't it be a waste of money? "

Just as Zhou Rui's family was about to speak, a little girl who had just returned from buying candy in the back alley ran over happily: "I just saw such a tall carriage, carrying a few father-in-laws!"

Hearing this, Jin Chuan'er and Zhou Rui's family were all beaming with joy.Zhou Rui's family laughed and said: "Old man, didn't you hear that the palace sent someone? It must be to announce the happy event of our eldest daughter. You do your best to prepare, our wife will not owe you a penny!"

Not to mention that the lady in charge even claimed it was, and sent people to buy it in a hurry.Let's talk about the other side of the main room. Jia Mu set up incense cases, brocade felts and other things, and together with everyone, she bowed to the eunuch Xuanzhi and listened to the oracle.

At first I was full of joy, but as I listened, my color changed.After receiving the imperial decree and offering it, Mrs. Wang finally couldn't hold back, and asked in a trembling voice: "Dai Neixiang, there is no conferment?"
