Chapter 224: Unsafe Mother Jia
Rongguo Gongfu, Rongqing Hall.
In recent days, Jia Mu has celebrated Duan An's birthday, and her spirits have improved a lot. Yesterday, someone from the palace was sent over. Jia Mu also knows about this. There is a relative of the emperor in the palace, and she is very interested in the Duke.
There are also benefits to the government. Because of this, Jia Mu feels much better.
Mrs. Wang on the side was not very happy. After all, the golden branches and jade leaves did not add color to her Qilin son, and she always felt disgusted.
Seeing this, Jia Mu thought for a moment and said: "Zheng's daughter-in-law, after all, there is no serious elder in Brother Yun's house in Dongfu. Now that the princess is about to get married, there must be someone in charge. You are also Brother Yun."
Elders, you have to worry about this matter, don't be careless."
In fact, if you really want to count, there is still an upright elder in Dongfu, and that is Youshi. However, Jia Mu knew that Jia Yun did not care about Youshi because of her relationship with Jia Zhen, so everyone in the house ignored Youshi.
No one would do such a stupid thing to make Jia Yun dissatisfied because of Youshi.
When Mrs. Jia asked her to help with Jia Yun's marriage, Mrs. Wang was stunned. But after thinking about it, she understood Jia Mu's intention. She just wanted to use this matter to ease the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Yun. After all, she had previously
Mrs. Wang and Jia Yun had several unpleasant encounters.
Mrs. Wang, who understood, agreed: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law knows this and will do her best to handle it properly."
Mrs. Wang was more jealous of Jia Yun, and could not accept that a concubine who was originally a concubine actually overshadowed his family's treasure.
Through the previous events, not to mention her husband Jia Zheng, the wife of Duke Rongguo, and her mother-in-law Jia Mu also respected Jia Yun. In this case, Mrs. Wang could only let go of her thoughts.
Although I don't want to admit it, what happens to Baoyu in the future really depends on Jia Yun's eyes. I remember Jia Yun once said that if they live in peace, Baoyu can be guaranteed to be rich and noble for the rest of his life.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's sincere attitude, Jia Mu felt relieved. After beating Mrs. Wang several times, Jia Mu finally got the idea.
Although Jia's mother was not very satisfied with Mrs. Wang as her daughter-in-law, she was the serious wife of the second wife. She was just thinking that when she went west, Jia Yun could take care of the second wife.
The relationship between Jia Yun and Jia Zheng is actually not good, but there is no bad relationship either.
Mother Jia knew that Jia Yun was a kind person. He was always generous and kind to his tribesmen who kept their own rules. What's more, Jia Zheng was still his elder. If the relationship was better, she wouldn't have to worry about the second wife.
Mrs. Wang raised her eyes to look at Jia Mu, pondered for a moment, and said carefully: "Mother, our Baoyu is not young anymore."
Baoyu is almost fourteen years old now. According to Jia Yun's previous life, he was not yet an adult, but in ancient times, he was not young. After all, in this era, many men and women at the age of twelve got married...
At this time, Mrs. Wang mentioned that Baoyu was not young. Jia's mother understood what Mrs. Wang meant. She guessed that seeing Jia Yun getting married, Mrs. Wang was also anxious.
Baoyu and Jia Yun cannot be compared, not because of the gap in status, but in Jia Yun's age. Relatively speaking, Baoyu is smaller, and Baoyu's mind seems to have not matured yet, so Jia's mother has no idea in her heart.
This means.
However, now that Mrs. Wang has raised this matter, Jia Mu feels that she is Baoyu's biological mother after all, and it is normal to be concerned about this matter. Moreover, Mrs. Wang looks like this, and she obviously has a plan in mind.
So Jia Mu asked, "If you have any ideas, please tell me."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang said cautiously: "Mom, Brother Yun is going to marry Princess Leping, and Bao Yatou is going back home. My daughter-in-law is thinking that this golden match is a good one, so why not get engaged to them earlier?
Let Baoyu have a family and a career."
It’s not surprising that Mrs. Wang is attracted to Baochai. Besides being her sister’s daughter, Mrs. Wang has always valued Baochai’s character.
Baochai was well-versed in the world, open-minded in her behavior, and considerate of all aspects. No one in the house had anything bad to say about her. Even Jia Mu also liked Baochai's stability and tranquility.
However, Baochai's background was not good and he was not a good match for Baoyu.
The Xue family is the home of merchants, while the Duke's mansion is the home of the powerful. This is an insurmountable gap between the nobles and merchants.
The Jia family made friends with celebrities in the capital, princes, nobles and even the royal family.
And what about the Xue family! The Xue family was good at first, but later abandoned their official positions and went into business, so that it got worse and worse. The only people they interacted with were local big families, and officials from various places were merchants. The circles were different, so the gap was even bigger.
Moreover, Jia Mu also knows a thing or two about the current situation of the Xue family. In recent years, she has suffered repeated losses and has been unable to make ends meet.
Not only that, no one in the Xue family stands out, and has gradually become a vassal of the Wang family.
If Baoyu marries Baochai, and the eldest wife is Wang Xifeng, and the second wife is Xue Baochai, then the Wang family will control the Rongguo Palace, and where will the Rongguo Palace go?
Because of her scruples, Jia Mu has always been opposed to a good match. Her original intention was to let Daiyu and Baoyu become a pair of mandarin ducks, but Daiyu proposed marriage to Jia Yun before Lin Ruhai died, and the matter was over.
Let it go.
When her favorite Daiyu marries someone else, Jia Mu is not optimistic about Baochai, because of her background.
Jia's mother thought that her family's daughter was pretty good, and she could even get married!!!
However, today is different from the past, Jia Mu's attitude has changed a lot.
For one thing, as long as Jia Yun is the patriarch, with his habitual strength, some monsters and monsters will not be able to cause trouble, so Jia's mother is not worried that the Rongguo Duke's palace will be controlled by outsiders.
Secondly, the Xue family was also smart and chose to spend a lot of money to send Baochai to the palace as the princess's companion. In this way, Baochai had a relationship with the princess, which was a network of connections.
The most important thing is that the princess Baochai accompanies is Princess Leping, who is Jia Yun's wife.
And if Baoyu and Baochai achieve good things, the relationship between Baoyu and Jia Yun will also become closer. In this way, there will be a hundred benefits and no harm!
Thinking of this, Jia Mu said, "What did Aunt Xue say?"
Hearing Jia Mu's question, Mrs. Wang's face was overjoyed. Oh my God, her mother-in-law's tone has finally loosened up. In the past, whenever this topic was brought up, Jia Mu would always take care of the left and right, but now she has become clearer.
Mrs. Wang suppressed her excitement and replied: "I heard her say a few words, saying that our jade is the best match for her thoughts. If we get married, she will definitely agree."
Hearing this, Jia Mu knew that the Xue family was lonely and wanted to rely on the Jia family for support, so the Xue family had always wanted to promote this matter. Baochai would be steady and successful, and she would definitely become Baoyu's virtuous wife in the future.
After pondering, Jia Mu then said: "There is no rush, what is important now is Brother Yun's matter, let's leave it alone. As for Baoyu's matter, discuss it with Aunt Xue first, and then leave it to you.
.”
Mrs. Wang naturally knew that the most important thing in the Jia family now was Jia Yun's marriage to the princess, and since Jia's mother agreed to the matter of Baochai and Baoyu, it was a great thing, so Mrs. Wang smiled and agreed: "My daughter-in-law understands."
, just don’t worry, mother.”
Jia Mu nodded. Now everything in the house is going well. Jia Mu only needs to live her old life with peace of mind. It has to be said that with Jia Yun gaining power, Jia Mu has less things to worry about.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Mu suddenly turned her head and said to Yuanyang, who was standing by the side: "Yuanyang, my grandma is about to enter the house. From now on, you can serve your master with peace of mind, and you don't have to come over here."
When grandma comes into the house in the future, it will be inappropriate for Yuanyang, the personal maid of the East House, to stay in the West House. Yuanyang naturally understands this and responds: "Old lady, I understand."
Although Yuanyang was reluctant to give up, she was already prepared in her heart. After all, logically speaking, she should have served Jia Yun for a long time. In other words, Jia Yun was considerate and asked Yuanyang to stay in Xifu first to repay the old lady.
Because of his kindness, Yuanyang has always been grateful to Jia Yun.
Seeing the mist in Yuanyang's eyes, Jia Mu also sighed in her heart, and laughed and scolded: "Girl, I'm not driving you out of the house. With Brother Yun's temperament, I won't stop you from coming to Xifu.
What's there to be sad about? It's you, it's time to make plans for yourself and ask Brother Yun to show your face and take your place earlier."
Listening to Jia Mu's straightforward words, Yuanyang couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "Old lady, I'm just a maid. I only know how to serve my master wholeheartedly, so I don't have any plans."
Yuanyang holds his own, which is why Jia Mu values Yuanyang. Moreover, Yuanyang has been trained and trained by Jia Mu since she was a child. She treats Yuanyang almost like a daughter. It is precisely because of this that Jia Mu asked Yuanyang to make plans early and take advantage of the princess's return.
Before entering the palace, the position should be determined first, so that you can have a good position in the future. If it were someone else, Jia Mu would not talk too much.
Jia's mother knew that Yuanyang was smart and would definitely understand what she meant, so she didn't say much and instead said a few words: "But you have to remember, don't lose your duty and don't have a body. This will be good for you in the future."
.”
Yuanyang knew that Jia Mu had good intentions, so she lowered her head and responded. She knew what to do. Generally speaking, the mistress was the one who gave birth to the first child, so there would be fewer things in the house.
Seeing this, Jia Mu nodded. She was very relieved about Yuanyang's character. She would not be like those foxy girls who only thought about having children to maintain their status, but would not consider the mood of their mistress.
At this moment, Jia Zheng, who looked ugly, walked in, bowed hurriedly, and said: "Mother, something has happened."
Jia's mother had a bad premonition when she saw Jia Zheng acting in a hurry. When Jia Zheng told him about the trouble, she felt irritated and cursed: "Fart, what trouble can happen to our Jia family?"
Now that the Jia family has a happy event, how can anything bad happen? Jia Zheng's words like this are simply cursing the Jia family. Even though Jia Zheng is the youngest son that Jia Mu loves, Jia Mu can't help but darken her face.
Jia Zheng replied: "Mother, Brother Yun was suddenly summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager today, and is now being punished to kneel outside the Daming Palace."
Hearing that Jia Yun was punished to kneel by the Queen Mother, Jia Mu and others were immediately stunned. Jia Mu came to her senses and asked hurriedly: "What happened? Why did you punish Brother Yun so well?"
Jia Zheng sighed and said, "I don't know very well. I just heard from my colleagues today that the Queen Mother was furious and summoned Brother Yun into the palace, but she didn't even enter the Daming Palace. She just knelt outside the palace waiting for orders. Now Brother Yun I have been kneeling for two hours."
Mrs. Wang looked puzzled and said: "Everyone from the palace was brought into the palace yesterday, and everything went smoothly. Why is the Queen Mother so angry?"
At this time, Yuanyang hesitated and said in a low voice: "Old lady, I heard that Uncle Yun stayed in Miss Lin's Xiaoxiang Mansion yesterday."
Hearing this, Jia's mother understood the reason for the matter. It was Jia Yun's good deeds yesterday, but he should not live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. This would be a slap in the face of the royal family.
Jia Mu's expression was ugly. She had finally been able to live a peaceful life, but Jia Yun was going to cause trouble again. Even if she felt sorry for Dai Yu, why should she show the royal face? Although the Duke's Palace is a top power, you have to know that it is Royal, this Jia Yun is too ignorant of propriety.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Yun had offended the royal family, she immediately said: "Mother, will it bring harm to us?!!!"
Although Mrs. Wang is relieved, she still does not regard Jia Yun as one of her own.
Jia Mu groaned and said, "Since the Queen Mother asked Brother Yun to kneel down as a punishment, it means that nothing big will happen."
Hearing this, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang nodded. Jia Yun was a high-ranking earl and a close minister of the emperor. Generally speaking, nothing serious could happen. The Queen Mother only asked Jia Yun to kneel as a punishment, obviously intending to punish him with a small punishment but with a big warning.
Even so, Jia's mother looked angry and scolded: "This careless thing has to make trouble. When he comes back, he will not be spared."
Mrs. Wang was unconvinced when she heard this, but she could see clearly that Jia Mu had nothing to do with Jia Yun, she could only curse a few words...
