Capital City, Rongguo Palace, Rongxi Hall.
Jia Qi secretly shook his head, but he was not surprised that the two palaces acted like this. Perhaps it was because of the previous matter of deposing the crown prince. Jia She and Jia Jing were directly deposed, and one of them became a womanizer. Among the sensual people, a Taoist priest became a Taoist priest of Xuanzhen Temple.
If this generation was forced to become useless, then the Wang generation, including Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and others, were really dazzled by the wealth and luxury life and surrendered to depravity.
It is said that a gentleman is killed after five generations, including Jia Yan and Jia Yuan of the first generation, Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua of the second generation, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Jing of the third generation, Wang Zi generation of the fourth generation, and Cao Zi generation of the fifth generation. , there have been five generations of people in the two houses, and the favor has been somewhat exhausted.
The most powerful person in the two houses, Jia Mu, should have noticed that the favor was exhausted and there was no successor, so when Yuanchun was thirteen or fourteen years old, he sent Yuanchun to the palace. If there was no such thing as Mind, determination is impossible.
However, there has been no movement in these years. Jia Mu and others should have no expectations. If she really caught the eyes of Emperor Mingkang, she would have been favored long ago. Now that Yuanchun is still a female historian, it is clear what the situation is.
There is another important factor in being able to rise to the top in the harem, and that is the help of her mother's family, or the power of her mother's family. To put it bluntly, with the current power of the two houses, they simply cannot use their strength.
Jia Qi didn't want to say more about the bad things that happened in the original work. There were too many tricks in it, like a mess. Many things were his own guesses, and he couldn't figure them out even if he wanted to. Since If he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.
He agreed to three things with the Jia family. In the final analysis, he was thinking about the incense and love. Since this is the choice of the two houses, he will not say more. There is a saying that is good, the road is chosen by oneself, even if it is You have to finish the walk even on your knees.
He was sure of one thing. Even if Yuanchun climbed to the concubine position by his own power, the outcome would not be changed much. If the Jia family's dissolute and immoral behavior was caused by external factors, the real internal cause was politics. The issue of positioning is that the Jia family is from Emperor Taikang and belongs to the noble lineage. This alone is destined to have no good results.
While Emperor Taikang was still there, maybe nothing would happen to these nobles who listened to the tune but not the announcement, but once Emperor Taikang died after Yu Long, they would definitely be hit by Emperor Mingkang.
Later, Yuanchun "died" inexplicably, and the pillars of the four major families collapsed. As the representative of the four major families, Wang Ziteng also died inexplicably. In the end, the Xue family, the Shi family, etc. did not escape the liquidation, and Qianhong cried. , Wan Yan shares the same sorrow.
When he was in Liaodong before, what Ma Changqing said when he asked to see him was a bit funny. He really didn't know the heights of the world. Even now, he would not act rashly until that step, but these people were eaten. Ambitious and bold, he plans to oppose the royal family.
There was silence in Rongxi Hall. After a while, Jia Chu was about to stand up and say goodbye. At this moment, a boy outside the door came to report that it was Jia Mu who invited Jia Chu to come over.
Jia She on the side narrowed his eyes, and he became more and more amazed at Jia Qi next to him. Jia Zheng was too straightforward most of the time, so he didn't let his brother speak just now, but did it himself. He didn't want to say it himself. After a few words, the other party revealed the secret.
He felt that the young man next to him was not like a young man in the city, but an old fox. However, seeing that Jia Qi did not regret it later, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Brother Xing, look??"
After thinking for a while, Jia She spoke again.
Jia Qi thought for a while and nodded. To him, Jia Mu was not a ferocious beast, so it was okay to meet him. So, accompanied by Jia She and Jia Zheng, he went to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall. side.
This time, there was no one in Rongqing Hall. There were only three maids chatting at the door. One of them was a girl with slim shoulders and a slim waist. She was very handsome. I don’t know what the other two said, but her face changed. His face was covered with blush, and only Xichun and Wang Xifeng were in the room. Jia Mu was wearing a green crepe sheepskin gown with a bunch of beads, sitting on the couch, while Wang Xifeng was wearing a sable Zhaojun suit. Danzhu Lezi, wearing a peach red flowered jacket, held Xichun's hand and joked around.
When Jia Mu heard something interesting, she would add a few words from time to time. After careful listening, it turned out that Xichun was talking about the ten imperial dishes that Emperor Mingkang had given Jia Qi when he went to court in the morning. Wang Xifeng was not very impressed. On weekdays, They didn't care that they also had exquisite delicacies here, but there was a trace of envy hidden deep in Jia Mu's eyes.
When Jia Daishan was still there, the palace would often reward him with a few royal dishes, but after he left, these rare things were rare. She usually ate delicacies from all over the world. To be honest, she was not greedy for those things, but this time The holy scroll represented in it made her jealous.
Ten dishes of royal meals were served at one time, which was rare even back then.
After a while, Jia Mu heard a message from the maid outside the door, saying that Jia Qi and the others had arrived. She quickly asked the two little girls outside to lift the door curtain and invite them in.
After seeing Jia Qi, the pretty little maid standing outside the door seemed to have drunk fine wine. Her face suddenly turned red, her eyes quickly lowered, and she did not dare to look any further.
Jia She on the side looked at the three maids at the door, swallowed unnaturally, and licked the corners of his mouth. He knew two of these three, one was Yuanyang, the personal maid beside the old lady, and the other One was Ping'er, the dowry maid of his daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng. As for the last one, he didn't have much impression.
But Jia Zheng glanced at it and didn't look at it again. Compared with Jia She's inconspicuousness, Jia Zheng was undoubtedly much better.
Seeing the beautiful colors of these three little maids, Jia Qi took a second look at them, but unlike Jia She's look, Jia Qi was more admiring, but not staring at them. When he got to the door, he went in. .
Seeing Jia Qi and others coming in, Jia Mu said with a smile: "Brother Qi! I'm asking you to make another trip today!"
Hearing Jia Mu's words, Jia Chu smiled and said, "As it should be, since I have agreed to three things from the two houses, I will naturally not refuse~"
When Jia Mu heard Jia Qi's answer, she knew that the matter should be done. The smile on her face became even bigger, and she hurriedly asked Jia Qi and the others to sit down.
Then he continued: "Brother Qi, I invited you here today for no other reason than that. Just now I heard Miss Xichun talking about things in your house. Knowing that there are not many people serving you, I thought about it. No, you are a marquis. What will happen if there are few people around you? I happen to have a good one by my side. She has been training by my side in the past few years. I plan to give her to you, so that I can have that Xiangling girl in the future. I have a companion, and my service will be more considerate!"
When Jia Qi heard this, he turned to look at Xichun. Xichun saw Jia Qi looking over, then he hid behind Wang Xifeng and stuck out his tongue at him.
"There are so few maids in Brother Xin's house! There are simply not enough! When spring comes and autumn comes, there won't even be enough maids to sweep the house. You won't let me clean your yard!"
After saying that, he made a scared look, his small eyes full of narrowing.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this little smart guy, but since Mother Jia was interested, it didn't matter to him. However, it also reminded him of the three maids outside the door, and he made a guess in his mind.
"Magpie, come in~"
Then Jia Mu called out the door, and standing on the other side of the door, the extremely beautiful little maid walked in nervously.
"Meet the old lady~"
As soon as the little maid came in, she quickly saluted.
Jia Mu nodded and asked her to get up, then smiled and said to Jia Qi: "Brother Qi, are you satisfied with this person? My old lady has been raising her by my side for several years, but she is not willing to give to anyone on weekdays! "
To be fair, this little maid is really good-looking. Regarding her, Jia Qi also had some guesses in his heart. She should be the pretty Qingwen who followed Baoyu in the original novel!
The first of the twelve beauties in Jinling, her features and eyes are very similar to Daiyu's, and she is extremely beautiful. It's a pity that the young lady has a bad temper and is destined to be a maid, and she ends up like this. However, this is also related to Jia Baoyu's temperament. Who in his yard She couldn't help it. To say that she ended up like that, Jia Baoyu must be at least half of the reason.
What a beauty! Everyone liked it, Jia Qi did not refuse, smiled and nodded, "Of course those who follow the old lady are good!"
Seeing that Jia Qian did not refuse, Jia Mu was also happy to see the success, so she said to the little maid again: "Magpie, you can follow Brother Qin from now on! Keep your duty and serve the master well!"
The little girl actually knew about this in advance. Jia Qi was not only famous in the two houses, but also in the capital. The young Marquis was famous all over the world. I don’t know how many ladies in the capital admire him!
She had just met this man. He was a man of majestic appearance and talent that no man in the two houses could match. She had nothing to say about this. He responded obediently.
Then he came to Jia Qi's side and greeted him politely.
"Uncle~"
Jia Qixu raised his head and said, "Get up!"
Jia She who was on the side saw that Jia Qi seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, congratulations, congratulations on getting such a beautiful little girl!"
Jia Zheng didn't say anything. After all, he and Jia She were different. Jia She said this with a meaning that all men could understand. He couldn't say it in front of others.
Sister Feng on the side was unwilling to be left alone, and said with a smile: "Only those trained by our ancestors can be worthy of Brother Qi? What if none of our subordinates are too embarrassed to take action!"
When Jia Qi heard this, he also laughed twice. He was worthy of being a little expert in the lively atmosphere of the Jia family. He felt a little restrained when he was with Jia She and Jia Zheng before. Now hearing this laughter made him not so serious. .
With Sister Feng warming up, Jia Mu also laughed.
"You're such a frivolous monkey, you're acting weird again, so you're not afraid of Brother Qi laughing at you~"
Hearing this, Sister Feng also smiled and replied: "Ancestor, look at what you said, Brother Xing is a prime minister who can support a boat, how can he be as knowledgeable as me!"
Everyone was also good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Jia Qi was not angry, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
Jia She glanced at his daughter-in-law, and there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. Not to mention, her ability to control the field was indeed extraordinary. If it were him today, he would not have the guts to be so presumptuous in front of Jia Xi, but the effect is pretty good at the moment. , at least he felt better.
Unlike before in Rongxi Hall, the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
At this moment, another announcement came from outside the door.
"Old lady, Mr. Bao and a few girls are here, and they want to invite Mr. Qi to play with them!"
