"Old lady, the master is back!"
In the Rongguo Duke's mansion, a little maid walked into Rongqing Hall and reported to Jia Mu.
At this time, Rongqing Hall was already full of people, and most of the family members were there.
There are Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, and the You family of Dongfu.
Among the girls, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai, etc. were among them.
Hearing that the maid came to report, Jia Mu stepped forward and waved.
"What did the master say?"
The maid continued: "The master said that he would change out of his official uniform first and then come over to say hello to the old lady. He also said that the previous matters had been settled and asked the old lady to call Grandpa Bao Er back!"
Hearing this, Jia Mu's expression relaxed, and then she beamed with joy.
“Just come, just come!
"
Everyone's expressions relaxed after hearing Jia Mu's words. They hated and loved that brother at the same time. He sometimes did not give the family any dignity, which made it difficult for them to step down, but they also envied the other's power. , always thinking that I could have some kind of relationship.
"Yuanyang, go and tell the school that Baoyu will come back first!"
After hearing Jia Mu's instructions, Mrs. Wang stood up and said, "Old lady, how dare you bother the people around you with this matter? Let Jinchuan'er do it! Yuanyang is a careful girl. She stays by your side to take care of her and is a little more convenient." !」
Wang Xifeng on the side also smiled and said: "Madam is right, it is a good thing after all, and it is the master's order. There will definitely be no fault in finding the treasure and jade. What can the ancestors be worried about?"
"That's right, that's right!
"
Youshi on the side also started talking. Seeing everyone looking over, she continued: "I'm just calling someone, how dare the clan master not let me go and let Yuanyang stay!"
Yuanyang looked at Jia Mu but did not speak, still waiting for news from Jia Mu.
Despite everyone's comfort, the final decision on this matter still lies in Jia Mu's hands. If Jia Mu insists on her going, she will not dare to disobey.
However, after listening to everyone's consolation, Jia's mother thought that this matter was arranged by Jia Zheng. Now that Mrs. Wang was here and also spoke, she was thinking about herself both inside and outside, so it was not easy for her to refute the other party. face.
It was her father's wish to call Jia Baoyu over. As for what she was going to do, she knew what she was going to do, so she no longer forced her to go. Should she let Yuanyang go or let Jin Chuan'er, the maid next to Mrs. Wang, go?
"That's it! That's all. Since you all have such filial piety, I won't mind my own business, old lady, and let Jin Chuan'er go! If you don't let her go, just say it's my will."
Hearing Jia Mu's words, Wang Xifeng walked over with light steps, took Yuanyang's hand and said, "Old ancestor, to put it nicely, he is not Yuanyang, he is as careful as his hair, and he can serve others. We clumsy people, If it doesn’t suit your wishes then, it will be a sin! So, let Sister Yuanyang stay!”
[In view of the general environment,
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing. Even Jia Mu called Wang Xifeng a skinny monkey.
Then Wang Xifeng said again: "Jinchuaner, just go and invite me. If you really don't agree, just tell the truth. Although I want to urge Baoyu to study and have issued strict orders, today is a good day after all, and I won't blame him."
Jin Chuan'er on the side nodded, and took the order from Mrs. Wang. Without hesitation, she bowed respectfully to the grandmothers, opened the door curtain and went out.
After Jin Chuan'er left, several people in the room started chatting again, but the content of their conversation was all pointed to one person, and that was the champion Hou Jiaqi who had returned from overseas.
"By the way, old lady, Ruhai said yesterday that she would come to visit today. Will this affect..."
As if she had thought of something, Mrs. Wang's tone became a little solemn.
When the other people present heard this, they had different expressions for a moment. At this moment, neither Lin Ruhai nor Jia Qi had the power above the court.
Jia Mansion can be compared.
Speaking of which, Yuanchun was granted the title of imperial concubine, and they took advantage of it. However, for Yuanchun, there was not much help. The highest-ranking official in the court was just a fifth-rank official like Jia Zheng. .
As for Lin Ruhai and Jia Chu, one is the head of the civil service and a cabinet minister, and the other is the head of the military attache, a dignified Zuozhuguo. Although Jia Chu has never used this identity, he still exists.
Jia Mu pondered for a moment, not knowing what to do.
Lin Ruhai came to visit her mother-in-law, so she couldn't say she turned her away.
"When did this happen? Why didn't I receive the message?"
Jia's mother's tone was a little unhappy, and Mrs. Wang stood up quickly after hearing this.
"Old lady, when Ruhai sent someone to deliver the news yesterday, it was quite late. I thought you had already rested, so I didn't dare to disturb you anymore. I planned to talk about what I said during breakfast today. , that’s what Ruhai wants to visit!”
Hearing Mrs. Wang's explanation, Mother Jia's brows softened slightly. She still remembered that Mrs. Wang first mentioned it during breakfast, but at that time, she stopped watching her own meal.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved, and then she thought about it and shook her head in her heart. In fact, even if she talked about it at that time, I'm afraid it would be too late.
As soon as she thought about this, Jia Mu complained in her heart that Jia Zheng was careless in handling this matter. The matter between her granddaughter and Jia Qi ended in that way, so she had to say that it was fate but not fate.
"That's it! That's it!"
There was no good idea at the moment, Jia Mu finally sighed and finalized the matter for the time being.
When everyone heard Jia Mu clapping, they looked at each other and nodded.
The girls on the side had different expressions, originally! They all envied Miss Lin's excellent marriage.
This brother who walked out of Dongfu has nothing to say in terms of appearance or ability. In addition, his temperament is almost rare among the big families in the capital.
As for those princes and grandsons, most of them are not as good as Jia Qi. In addition, Jia Qi is single and his parents passed away early. If he really gets married, he doesn't have to follow the rules of his mother-in-law.
You must know that even the best mother-in-law has conflicts with her daughter-in-law. This is undeniable.
Just like Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing now, even though they are so old, if Jia Mu really asked them to obey the rules, they would not be able to say anything at all, because this is the rule of this era.
So this is why Mrs. Wang stood up in fear just now.
Originally, when starting a family in this era, marriages were usually arranged, and the emphasis was on being well-matched. Most of the reason was that the younger generation was limited by their age. If they wanted to marry a wife and have children, they simply couldn't have the strength to do so, especially in a big family, so the elders were After that, he has the right to speak in life.
No matter what he does in the future, he will be restricted by his elders, and there are very few people like Jia Qi who have achieved such fame alone at such a young age.
Therefore, in the eyes of most people, especially those girls who already know the warmth and coldness of life, it is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation.
And people like Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu are what the young masters of aristocratic families should look like in this era.
"Sister Bao, how do you think Brother Qi is doing? Is he taller or shorter, fatter or thinner? I heard that at his age, he has grown very quickly!"
Xiangyun did not interrupt the adults, but started chatting with Xue Baochai on the side.
Baochai's attire is still basically the same, and she is still mainly simple. The only thing she wears is her gold necklace, and a piece of inconspicuous jade, which is a piece of warm jade.
Xue Baochai smiled and shook his head.
"Look what you said, it's less than half a year. No matter how fast you grow, there has to be a limit, right?"
Tanchun on the side was a little emotional.
"Brother Xun went to sea for three months in order to find a magical object for the imperial court. If he is not in the imperial court, I am not interested in that object.
I don’t know much about it, but I heard that it has great effect and has contributed to the country. "
"I heard it seems to be something edible!"
Yingchun changed her previous silence and intervened.
Hearing this, Xue Baochai nodded slightly. These girls are not afraid of those things. They don't pay too much attention to those things. She is different. She helps her mother take care of the shop. As for the things outside, She knew a lot.
Nowadays, the price of food has more than doubled compared to a year ago. Don’t underestimate this doubled price. Food is related to whether people can eat enough. Such food prices show that many people in the private sector have no food to eat. full.
Afterwards, she also inquired about it and found out that the grain output is not high now. It does not mean that the farmers have become lazy, but that it is affected by the weather.
Severe droughts in Shandong and Henan have resulted in almost no harvest. In recent years, food production has dropped sharply due to weather conditions. This is the reason why food prices across the country have fluctuated so much.
What Jia Qi was looking for was a cold-resistant crop. If it were true, it would be a great achievement and could benefit all people.
"If it's true, it's really a divine thing, and food is the most important thing for people!
