As the head of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng's affairs are all major events.
After a while, Yingchun, Daiyu and other sisters, Mrs. Xing, Youshi and others rushed over to wait for the news.
The spacious hall was quickly filled with people. Even so, it was very quiet. Except for Jia Mu and a few others, no one else dared to say a word.
The elder ladies of the clan behind the screen were embarrassed to come out to meet each other due to Jia Lian's presence, but they did not want to leave early.
The Rongguo Mansion is the "weather vane" of the entire Jia clan, even inferior to the head of the Ningguo Mansion. Therefore, any disturbance here may affect the interests, life and death of the entire family, and they do not want to leave until they are convinced.
After hiding in the screen for a long time, Jia Lian showed no intention of leaving, and Jia Mu seemed to have forgotten them. Simply because there were more people outside, there were fewer taboos, so under the leadership of a more generous person, they all walked out.
Sure enough, the people in power in the two houses had no intention of being polite to them at this time. They were all thinking about their own things or communicating in low voices. They also realized what was going on and sat down in inconspicuous positions.
Even among them, one or two of them had flirted with Jia Lian and flirted with each other. When they saw Jia Lian in the middle of the crowd, they didn't even look at him, and they were all secretly jealous and complaining.
But he didn't dare to show it at all, so at this moment, Wang Xifeng put aside the things there for the time being, and rushed over wearing a filial piety belt to see the situation.
Hearing that Jia Lian seemed to know something, Sister Feng didn't hesitate. She walked to Jia Lian and bumped the sitting Jia Lian's shoulder with her elbow. When Jia Lian turned around, she asked: "Hey, how did you know it was a good thing? Could it be you? Is your title about to come down, or is this master also about to be promoted?"
Sister Feng has been thinking about Jia Lian's request for a title recently. Because Jia Lian's title was obtained, she could prepare to apply for a royal title.
Jia Lian glanced at her and said to himself: Does my invitation have anything to do with Jia Zheng?
It happened that Yingchun, Tanchun and others were also restless, so they all came with Sister Feng to find out the gossip. In addition, Jia Lian also wanted to show some "extraordinary abilities" in front of Sister Feng, so he did not answer her. Instead, he turned to look at Erbao and asked casually:
"Brother Bao, can you still remember the appearance of your biological sister, the eldest daughter of our family?"
Jia Baoyu, who was sitting bored, was stunned when he heard this.
Of course he knew that he had a biological eldest sister, but she entered the palace when he was four or five years old, and then there was no news for so many years...
In fact, some news came back, but Jia Baoyu didn't care at all.
In his heart, no matter how beautiful or outstanding his sister is, as long as she enters the palace, she is just a common person. Humph, why bother using your perfectly innocent daughter to be tainted by that old emperor!
Therefore, Jia Baoyu didn't care much about the status of his biological sister. Suddenly asked by Jia Lian, he was speechless for a moment.
Just because Jia Baoyu didn't care doesn't mean that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't care. Although they were sitting, their attention was always on Jia Lian. After all, there were so many people present, but Jia Lian was the only one who looked "well-prepared."
Hearing Jia Lian's words at this time, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes, but they unanimously did not interfere and waited attentively for Jia Lian and others to continue.
Sure enough, Sister Feng did not disappoint Jia Mu and others, and immediately asked: "What, you mean, this matter has something to do with the eldest daughter of our family??"
There are many reasons why Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have such a respected status in the Jia family.
Mrs. Wang's natal family is strong, Jia Zheng is an official in the court, and Jia Zheng and his wife are the heads of the Rongguo Mansion. These are all reasons.
In addition, their eldest daughter serves as the female historian next to the nobles in the palace. This is also a reason!
Even if she is just a female historian and a slave, she is still a slave beside a nobleman. At critical moments, you can talk to noble people!
Not to mention, this noble person is the emperor's biological mother, the concubine. With this alone, others would not dare to bully Jia Zheng and others.
Therefore, even though Jia Yuanchun has been away from home for many years, her influence has never been completely cut off.
However, she has actually been in the palace for too many years, and her time has passed from a young girl to now. Even Jia Mu and others thought that Yuanchun's contribution to the family would stop here. Even Jia Mu would sometimes wake up from her dreams in the middle of the night and secretly regret that she should not have listened to the advice of Jia Zheng and others, and should not have sent her precious granddaughter to a place where no one would see her, like the palace, to pursue a vague hope.
Jia Yuanchun, like Sanchun, was raised by Jia's mother.
So over the years, people in the family gradually stopped mentioning Yuanchun, just because they were afraid of making Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang sad.
At this moment, Jia Lian suddenly mentioned it! They all know that Jia Lian is not a person who talks nonsense. Since Jia Lian mentioned it like this, there must be a reason. For a while, Jia Mu and others' hearts were agitated.
Jia Lian also saw the babbling eyes of Jia Mu and others, and knew that their hearts must be agitated at this time, and a kind of pleasure called foresight lingered in Jia Lian's heart. I thought that Mrs. Wang would be proud of her later, and even after gaining support and gaining confidence, she would dare to confront him... But at least at the moment, he was the happy one.
So he still ignored Sister Feng directly, only looked at Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Bao is interested in changing to a bright and noble identity?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stand up and scolded Jia Lian half to death in her heart: "If you have anything to say, you can't say it clearly. People who seduce people like this feel itchy..."
Mrs. Wang is a smart person. Excluding the possibility that Jia Lian is talking nonsense, Jia Lian actually means something straight!
But this point was so important to her that she didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes for a while.
Could it be that the eldest sister was attracted by the emperor? Do you want to keep it yourself, or give it to some prince or prince? Can I have a noble status?
Talented person? promise? Concubine?
Too many uncertainties made Mrs. Wang feel very uncomfortable. If Jia Lian was his son, she would definitely step forward and grab his ears at this time and ask him to recruit him quickly!
There were many smart people in the room, and for a while everyone looked at the Jia Lian brothers, waiting for them to continue talking.
Jia Baoyu felt a little weak at such a posture, and said sarcastically: "I don't understand what Brother Lian said, what he said, what openness, what noble status, I don't understand..."
"Hehehe, it's okay if you don't understand now. Maybe you will understand later."
Jia Lian seemed to have a casual chat with Jia Baoyu. After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Xichun in front of him. He reached out and tied the mourning scarf on her forehead again.
Xichun was still very young, and Jia Lian's forehead was even with hers even when he was sitting.
He retreated freely this time, and his behavior was cool, but it made all the ladies in the hall feel very unhappy.
Xichun's face was red, and she stood obediently in front of Jia Lian, feeling that she had never been paid attention to by so many people.
Sister Feng's eyes were filled with annoyance. How dare you ignore her without any conscience!
When the others saw that Jia Lian didn't even pay attention to Sister Feng, they were naturally very sensible and didn't ask any questions...
