old lady in red

Shi Mei was very perceptive: "Did someone go out and wander around here?"

Nanny Lai showed embarrassment: "It's because the old slave was lazy. I got up early this morning with a lot of things, and Yuanyang asked to deliver ginseng soup to grandma..."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "It's not your fault."

In the early morning, she asked Nanny Lai to invite Jia Zheng in person, and the mandarin ducks saw the needle.

Shi Mei's heart suddenly became angry, she was trying to knead the sand into balls, and this girl was acting as a spy for her own selfishness.

Don't blame her for being cruel if she dares to hinder her plan for a happy and long life.

Shi Mei immediately said: "Have someone send her to her father's village, tell her mother, Lao Tzu, let her get married within [-] days of her father's filial piety, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

Nanny Lai hurriedly responded.

Jia Amnesty then arrived.

Shi Mei thought it was a good time.

She was worried that she didn't know how to talk to Jia She, but he bumped into him by himself.

Jia She is more refined than Shi Mei imagined.

After he entered the door, he saluted and greeted politely, except for his ugly face, there was nothing wrong with it.

Jia Amnesty took his seat, looking at Jia Zheng with a strange expression, "I said why I haven't seen my second brother for a long time, so I came to greet my wife!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly got up to greet him: "Brother misunderstood, I didn't come to greet you, but my mother asked me to discuss things..."

Jia Amnesty exploded in an instant: "Discuss something? Is there something my wife wants to avoid me and discuss with my second brother? What is the discussion? Can my son listen?"

Jia Zheng said: "It's about my mother going back to her hometown to observe her filial piety. My mother decided to go back to her hometown to observe her filial piety for three years. She told me to submit a letter to the queen to ask for an order. I was discussing the wording when the eldest brother came."

"that's it?"

Jia She snorted, obviously not believing it.

The wife and the younger brother avoided meeting in private twice, and they must be discussing important matters that they should not let themselves know.

Now in the mansion, the things that can make the wife and the second brother care about, other than the title, don't think about it!

Shi Mei said: "Of course it's more than that. This matter is not only related to your brother, but also has something to do with you. I was about to have someone invite you, so it's just right for you to come by yourself."

Jia She's face flushed immediately: "Is it about the main courtyard? Didn't you say that we can discuss it slowly after father's funeral? My wife can't even wait for these few days?"

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang also comforted her in private, saying that her mother's attitude has changed a lot these days.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Turning Face asked Jia Zheng to discuss the plan to seize the main courtyard.

Jia Amnesty was already ready to compromise, as long as his mother discussed it with him, he might not be unwilling.

He is not happy with acting behind the scenes like this.

Jia Zheng felt wronged.

He had already given up the fight, and his brother still had such doubts.Just doubt him, he did have a coveted heart.

Jia Zheng couldn't bear the elder brother's disrespect for his mother.

Jia Zheng revealed: "Brother, what tone are you talking about? How can you misunderstand mother so much? Mother is planning wholeheartedly, thinking hard about the future of Rongfu, and worrying about our brothers. Now, not only is my brother inconsiderate, but he has come here It is really wrong to accuse mother like this without asking indiscriminately. Big Brother should hurry up and apologize to mother, please forgive me!"

Jia Zheng felt that Shi Mei had been very kind to Jia Amnesty, so he made small cooking for his sister-in-law every day, and gave them rice soup mixed with ginseng soup for supper, for fear that they would burn out.

Once Jia Zheng got used to his mother's preference, he was also very moved.

Jia Amnesty didn't appreciate it, but his words were disrespectful.

What a disappointment!

Jia Amnesty was so angry that he refused to bow his head to apologize, thinking that his mother was about to kick him away, he was very wronged!

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng and sneered, "What a dutiful son, no wonder mother prefers everything, even the main courtyard will be given to you..."

Jia Zheng was immediately annoyed: "Brother, who did you listen to instigation? My mother came to me the day before yesterday and talked with me about housing issues. However, my mother never said that she would let me live in the main courtyard. I moved to Huayuanzi after my father's filial piety. I have already agreed."

Jia She couldn't believe it when he heard the words: "Second brother, are you serious?"

Looking at Shi Mei again: "Madam, you?"

Seeing Shi Mei's blank face, Jia Zheng tried to comfort him: "Mother, don't be angry, brother, he was angry for a while, not on purpose."

He also said Jia She: "Brother, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you apologize to your mother?"

At this time, Jia She had some doubts on his face: Mother always favored the second younger brother, and argued with father more than once or twice about the affairs of the main courtyard.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

The owner, Mother Jia, will probably cry a lot at this time.

Shi Mei didn't intend to use this trick.

She is calm.

First, Jia's mother did conspire to seize the main courtyard, which cannot be denied.

Furthermore, Shi Mei didn't plan to show them the love between mother and child.

She has no feelings for them.

To put it bluntly, in Shi Mei's heart, Jia She and Jia Zheng are not so much her sons as partners: we all work hard together to create a strong and harmonious Rongguo Mansion that no one dares to covet.

To this end, Shi Mei must unite all forces that can be united.

Of course, she will unceremoniously get rid of all stumbling blocks that stand in the way of her goal.

Whether the other party is the emperor or a slave!

At this time, Shi Mei saw that although Jia She did not apologize and admit his mistake, the anger on his face disappeared without a trace, but his eyes were full of doubts.

Shi Mei said: "Boss, have you finished? Continue to talk. These days, there seem to be many misunderstandings between our mother and son. Today, you should open up and express all your depression and dissatisfaction."

But Jia Amnesty kept thinking about one thing, that is, Jia Zheng said that his mother asked him to move to Huayuanzi. In other words, his mother did not intend to change the heir?

Now hearing that Shi Mei asked him to express his depression and grievances, he asked: "Mother... mother, the second brother said that he wants to move to Huayuanzi, is it true?"

Shi Mei calmed down, not moved by Jia She's address: "It's absolutely true!"

Jia She's expression relaxed: "Can the son ask his mother why he changed his mind?"

He had heard it himself.

Shi Mei said: "There are two reasons. I let the second child live in Rongxi Hall because your father is alive. I thought that even if your father can't recover, it can last three to five years. As long as your father lives, he will be The pillar of Rong Mansion. However, your father can't move, there must always be someone who goes out to mediate in his place.

Naturally, this candidate must agree with me, and it is better to obey what I say.

I don't tell you, you know that our mother and son are a little alienated because of your grandmother.

I'm already troubled enough by your father's appearance, so I naturally don't want my son who stays by my side to be awkward with me everywhere.In that way, I really can't live through this day!

However, unfortunately, your father failed to survive...

According to the laws of the country, the father dies and the son succeeds, and you are the legal heir, so it is only natural that you live in the main courtyard of the Rongxi Hall bestowed by the imperial court.

Second, your father, the sky that sheltered us from wind and rain, is gone.Mothers and sons should work together..."

What is there to do in the face of a catastrophe?

Jia She was very moved when he heard the words, his eyes were a little red, although he didn't knelt down to plead guilty, he bowed and bowed: "Mother... mother, my son is wrong, mother please forgive me!"

Shi Mei waved her hand: "Among mothers, talent is the most important thing. There is no need for these empty etiquettes. I have something to say when I get up and sit down."

Jia Amnesty stood up, looked at Jia Zheng, felt a little shame, and bowed his hands at Jia Zheng: "Second brother has been wronged."

Jia Zheng himself really had the heart of coveting, and he was too embarrassed to chase after him, so he accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly returned the gift: "Brother, just clear up the misunderstanding, I'm not in the way, brother, please sit down!"

Shi Mei ordered someone to serve tea to their brothers.

After they returned to normal, Shi Mei started a serious conversation with Jia She.

Shi Mei said: "Just now you asked me why I am looking for your brother? I will tell you now, I am looking for your brother, one is to ask for an order for the Queen, this Zhenger has already said, I will tell you officially now, I decided to go back to my hometown to observe my filial piety."

Jia She said: "Didn't mother say before that we have to wait for His Majesty's order? Maybe His Majesty will take advantage of it and let our brother inherit the title and official title in a hundred days, and officially resume his post after a year?"

Shi Mei nodded: "I thought this way before. At that time, I felt that human beings are human beings. If we live under His Majesty's eyelids, he would be too embarrassed to ignore us. When your father really passed away, His Majesty unexpectedly There was no need to come to the door to express condolences in person, I just woke up like a dream, what is it like to leave the tea! I guess, His Majesty is like this, because he thinks that giving your second brother an official title will wipe out the credit of your father's desperate protection.

Besides, His Majesty has long promised your father to let you become a nobleman. If you are willing, the Ministry of Rites will come to pay homage for the first time, and you should have a decree of grace.Let you inherit the title of Viscount before your soul.

When your grandfather passed away, your father inherited the title in front of your grandfather's spirit. His Majesty even showed special grace to allow your father to directly inherit the duke without being downgraded.

I say this, do you know what it means? "

Jia She was instantly annoyed: "Your Majesty wants to break his promise and take away our family's title?"

Shi Mei waved her hand: "That's not true, but you should have heard some rumors, right?"

Jia She glared angrily: "Your Majesty wants to lower our titles? How dare he? Father's bones are not cold yet?"

Shi Mei shook her head: "It's not Your Majesty, it's the imperial court system, and the imperial court will soon promulgate a new inheritance law. Anyone who inherits the title must pass both civil and military examinations. Only those who pass can inherit the title. "

Shi Mei looked at Jia She: "Do you think you can pass both civil and military tests?"

Jia Amnesty got up and bowed: "My son is ashamed!"

Shi Mei raised her hand to let Jia She sit down, and said, "If you succeed to the title in a hundred days, you will definitely not be able to follow suit to the title of Viscount. It is very likely that Jiang Jue will inherit it and become Captain Qingche, or even lower."

Jia Amnesty blushed, "The son has lost the face of his ancestor!"

Just know yourself.

Shi Mei said: "Your Majesty, there is no hope. To keep the Rong Mansion, we can only rely on ourselves."

Jia Amnesty has been infected by Shi Mei at this moment: "Mother, you tell me what to do, and my son will obey!"
