The next day, Jia's mother went to Zhao Mansion. Jia's mother's pomp was not comparable to that of Jia Lian, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.
The whole capital was alarmed by Jia Mu's appearance.
Of course, in normal times, Jia Mu would only disturb her relatives once she went out.
For example, in The Book of Red Mansions, Jia’s mother went to a Taoist temple for a ritual ceremony on the Dragon Boat Festival, which alarmed many relatives.
It turned out that Feng Ziying's family heard that Jia's family was having a ritual ceremony in the temple, and quickly prepared pigs, goats, incense, candles, tea, silver and other gifts as gifts.
Just as I said that, I saw the two housekeepers from the Feng family coming upstairs. The other two housekeepers from the Feng family didn't go, and then Zhao Shilang also came politely. So one after another I heard that Jia's family was holding a ritual ceremony. The female relatives were all in the temple, and all the relatives and friends from far and wide came to give gifts.
But now, in the entire capital, all the wealthy families who are able to know some secrets are watching the Jia family's joke.
Now that Jia Mu is going out, how can she not disturb everyone?
This time they wanted to see if the old prince of Jia Mansion could invite Jia Huan back in person.
Not long after, Jia Mu arrived at the Zhao Mansion.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly came out to see her.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but apologize and said: "I didn't know that the old prince would come in person, and I didn't come far to welcome him. I hope that the old prince will forgive me."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "What did Mrs. Zhao say? It turns out that the old woman didn't send her greetings in advance, but she was treated as a bad guest. My Huan'er has to be taken care of by the madam, so the old lady should thank her first."
Mrs. Zhao quickly said: "Old Fengjun said it wrong. Brother Huan is really an excellent child. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to support the master's return. I am taking care of Brother Huan there, but Brother Huan is My son is taking care of me."
"Oh, look, I'm really happy to see the old Lord Feng. I'm a bit dizzy. There's a reason to talk at the door. Old Lord Feng, hurry up and invite me inside."
Mrs. Zhao invited Mother Jia into the main room, and the old woman served tea. The two talked for a while about their family affairs.
Jia Mu did not ask Jia Huan, and Mrs. Zhao did not wait for Jia Mu to ask, and said directly: "Brother Huan is out now. I ordered people to look for him. He will be back soon. Please ask Lao Feng Please sit down for a moment."
This is Jia Mu's pomp.
Jia Lian, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang came, and none of the Zhao family knew where Jia Huan was.
When Jia's mother came, there was no need to speak, the Zhao family sent someone to call Jia Huan.
Not long after, Jia Huan returned from outside. Mrs. Zhao stood up and said, "Old Fengjun, I am a little unwell. Please excuse me."
After that, Mrs. Zhao left directly.
After entering the house, Jia Huan knelt down on the ground and respectfully greeted Jia's mother: "My grandson, I wish to greet our ancestors."
Mother Jia quickly said: "Good boy, get up quickly and let me see if you have lost weight?"
"Well, I've lost some weight, but I've grown taller and become more energetic."
After sighing, Jia Mu added, "Brother Huan, I also know that I have wronged you by driving you out of the house."
"Of course you are also a sensible child. You naturally know how to break bones and connect tendons. Moreover, my old lady will naturally give you an explanation."
"This time, the old woman is here to take you back home. Your name is also added to the family tree. Brother Huan, if you want anything, just tell me and I will definitely make the decision for you."
Jia Huan sighed secretly at Jia Mu's words.
Jia Mu, an old feudal lord, is naturally very powerful.
However, among the men in the Jia family, there was not a single successful man, which left Jia's mother helpless and had no choice but to be happy.
If there were indeed one or two talented people in the Jia family, how could they end up being confiscated and exterminated?
Jia Huan knelt down again and said, "My grandson is very frightened when our ancestors come here in person. How can we dare to go against our ancestors' wishes?"
"It's just that although my grandson is stupid, he still has some shallow knowledge of his own. My wife kicked me out of Jia's house before, so I won't resent my wife."
"But my wife has underestimated my ambition. If I leave the Jia family, won't I be able to do something successful?"
"I have never thought about competing with Baoyu for anything. Fame and fame come naturally to me. Wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me. If I want it, I will get it myself."
"It's easy for the old lady to take me back, but I don't know how many days will pass before my wife kicks me out again. It's better not to go back now, so as not to embarrass both of us later."
Mother Jia snorted coldly: "Brother Huan, the surname of Rongguo Duke's mansion is Jia, not Wang. This time when you go back, you will live in Tingfengxuan. Tingfengxuan is next to Lixiangyuan and is not smaller than Lixiangyuan. I Give it to your maid and mother-in-law, her appearance is the same as that of Baoyu."
"After you return to Jia's house, you don't have to worry about your wife in the morning. It's your mother. Although she still has to stand by her side, it's just etiquette and can't be passed. But with me watching over her, I won't let her Being wronged.”
"Brother Huan, if you have any concerns, just tell me and I will definitely make the decision for you."
Jia Huan couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, Jia Mu, an old feudal lord, really did everything she wanted to do.
Not only did she relieve her worries, she no longer had to be bound by Mrs. Wang after returning to the Jia Mansion.
He also pointed out his own mother, Aunt Zhao, who not only took care of Aunt Zhao, but also seemed to be a threat to herself. Of course, the threat was obviously very weak, but it did not mean that there was none.
Jia Mu has already reached this level, and it would be unreasonable for her to find excuses. However, we can put forward one more condition.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Old ancestor, this time I came out, my grandson has saved some property. So my grandson has some ideas. This time I return to Jia's house, I might as well leave the house directly."
"I live in Tingfengxuan's courtyard for nothing. I am responsible for the monthly payment of other maids and women, as well as food, drink and chews. However, my property is not handed over to the officials. It is all my private property."
"In addition, I also want to ask my ancestors for a few slaves, namely Zhao Guoji's family. I hope my ancestors can fulfill my request."
If Jia Huan dared to mention the word "split the family" before he was kicked out, Mrs. Wang would have beaten Jia Huan to death directly with her family's methods.
But now that Jia Huan has not returned to Jia's house, he can make this condition.
After hearing Jia Huan's words, Jia's mother said helplessly: "Brother Huan, you little person, how do you know that life is not easy? Do you think it is easy to feed a big family? How can your little property be enough to support your family?" Xiu needs to bring up the matter of family separation again."
Jia Huan smiled slightly and said: "So that the ancestors will know that the recipe for perfume was figured out by my grandson. The Xue family's perfume business has a profit of three points from me, and the income is 10,000 to 20,000 silver a year."
"My grandson's statement that he is not interested in Rongguo Mansion's property is not just talk. It is not difficult for my grandson to make money. With this property, where can I go? If my ancestors hadn't come here today, my grandson would never have been able to do so. I will go back to Jia's Mansion again. What good can I get if I go back to Jia's Mansion?"
After hearing this, Jia Mu fell silent. She had to look at her grandson again.
