The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 121 Concubine
When they were happy, they suddenly heard someone coughing outside the door. When Aunt Zhou and the others heard that it was Jia Zheng's voice, they all put away their smiles and went out to greet them.

Aunt Zhou let Jia Zheng into the house, and Chuncao hurriedly brought tea, and then retreated outside with Qiaolian and others.

Jia Zheng hasn’t seen Aunt Zhou during this period of time, but he still comes to see him every now and then. He knows that Aunt Zhou is doing well during this time, and has the money left by Jia Ke. Although Aunt Zhou is relatively frugal, she still has food. big change.

Take the tea delivered as an example, the tea used to be distributed by the mansion, but now every time he comes, the tea brought to him is good tea bought from outside, not the ordinary tea in the mansion.

Jia Zheng sat at the head, and Aunt Zhou accompanied the lower prime minister.

Jia Zheng said to Aunt Zhou: "When I came in, I heard you were laughing all over the room, so I must have known it."

Aunt Zhou said respectfully: "It's the master who promoted him, otherwise he wouldn't be promoted so fast."

"I didn't help him this time, he spelled it all out by himself." Jia Zheng said with a little pride.

When Aunt Zhou heard that Jia Zheng praised Jia Ke, she was also very happy.

Jia Zheng then said to Aunt Zhou: "This time, big brother, you have been promoted because of your great ability. You gave birth to a good son for me, so you should also be promoted."

Aunt Zhou quickly stood up and said to Jia Zheng: "I don't dare to take what the old man says. This is all thanks to the hard work of the elder brother. As an aunt, I didn't help him. It would be nice if I didn't hold him back. "

"If you say this, it shows that you are sensible. If you don't hold him back, it will be the greatest help to him." Jia Zheng was very satisfied with her attitude.

"I have already discussed with the old lady. This time, the eldest brother has done a good job. You are his biological mother, and you should also be honored by him. So I decided to raise your position as a good concubine. In a few days Write down your name on the genealogy." Jia Zheng told her everything he had discussed in one breath.

Aunt Zhou heard what Jia Zheng said to her, as if in a dream.She has been in the Jia family for so many years, and she has always been a concubine with no name and no distinction. She is said to be an aunt, but in fact she is half master and half slave.

If her name could really be recorded in the genealogy as Jia Zheng said, then she would be a serious aunt of the Rongguo Mansion.She is the real master. In Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang is at the head of Mrs. Wang, and everyone else will be under her.

Aunt Zhou has been looking forward to this day for an unknown how long.I used to think that it would never be possible, but I didn't expect that there would be a day just around the corner.

Jia Zheng waited for her to stand there in a daze, knowing that she was so happy that she was a little crazy. For ordinary concubines, this was a step up to the sky, from the former slave to the current master.

From now on, every time Aunt Zhou sees Mrs. Wang, she only needs to salute and say hello, and she doesn't need to serve Mrs. Wang as before.Because although he is still Jia Zheng's concubine, he is already the master in terms of identity, even though he is still the head of Mrs. Wang.

It didn't take long for Aunt Zhou to wake up, trying to suppress the tears in the corners of her eyes, and said to Jia Zheng with a smile on her face, "I am so happy that I am a little silly."

Jia Zheng understood her mood, so he didn't intend to disturb her anymore, and wanted her to calm down for a while.So he stood up and said, "I still have something to do." Then he left first.

Aunt Zhou hurriedly got up to send Jia Zheng out, Chuncao waited for the maid to see Jia Zheng coming out at the door, and hurriedly saluted him.

As soon as Jia Zheng walked into the courtyard, he seemed to think of something.After a pause, she turned around and said to Aunt Zhou: "By the way, there is one more thing. From now on, your monthly payment will be ten taels, and Madam will add three more maids for you. After all, your status is different from before. .”

Aunt Zhou said gratefully to Jia Zheng: "I would also like to thank Madam for your care, how can I afford such a big reward."

"You can follow what is yours. If you don't have these ostentations, you won't be laughed at by others." Jia Zheng rarely explained to her.

After finishing Jia Zheng's work, he went out. He was really impatient with these general affairs.

As soon as Jia Zheng left, Aunt Zhou returned to the house, and Chuncao waited for these maids to surround her.Hastily asked: "Auntie, is there something good for the master to come? Tell us about it."

At this time, Aunt Zhou's excitement has not calmed down, she just wanted to talk to someone to show off, after all, this is a major event that will change her life.Aunt Zhou wished that everyone would know.

"It's nothing serious, but the master came to tell me about my eldest brother's promotion. He said that my eldest brother is different now, and he also raised my status." Aunt Zhou's face was very flat, but her eyes kept shining.

Qiaolian was the most anxious, came to sit down beside Aunt Zhou, took Aunt Zhou's hand away and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Auntie, please tell us."

"What's the big deal, just tell me that I will be promoted to be a good concubine from now on, and my name will be recorded in the genealogy in a few days, and it will be considered a clear path." Aunt Zhou said reservedly.

When Qiaolian saw Aunt Zhou at this time, her eyes lit up with envy. Who said that Aunt Zhou can't be promising?Doesn't this one have a great future, as long as the son born in the future is up to date, what blessings can't be enjoyed?

Chuncao and Xia Mai also looked at Aunt Zhou with envy at this time. Their envy was not exactly the same as that of Qiaolian. What they envied was that Aunt Zhou had completely left the ranks of servants from now on.He is already a true master.

Aunt Zhou looked at their envious eyes, her heart became more and more beautiful, and then she said to them, "From now on, the monthly payment will be ten taels, and now I am in Jia's mansion, and I am a head lower than the old lady and the two wives." gone."

Xia Mai said in surprise: "Then Aunt Zhao will still salute when she sees our aunt in the future."

Qiao Lian didn't wait for Aunt Zhou to speak, she rushed to say: "Of course, she is just a concubine of the family's child commission. Our aunt is a real person with a family tree. Naturally, her identity is different from her, so she naturally wants to It's time to salute."

Aunt Zhou heard Qiaolian's words, although she didn't speak, she just pretended to be reserved and tried to keep her face sullen to prevent laughter.

While they were chatting and laughing, someone in the courtyard outside said, "Is Aunt Zhou in there? I have sent a few maids by Madam's order for you to choose."

Aunt Zhou and the others went out to have a look, and it turned out that it belonged to Zhou Rui's family.

Zhou Rui's family saw Aunt Zhou hurrying over to salute, which had never happened before.It seems that she also knows that Aunt Zhou's identity has changed.

Standing there, Aunt Zhou felt this different change for the first time. The person she wanted to curry favor with in the past now wants to salute herself instead.This sudden change of identity made her feel a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Qiaolian pushed her lightly, and Aunt Zhou stabilized her mind, and said to Zhou Rui's family: "Where do you dare to work for Mrs. Zhou? Just ask someone to send someone here. I don't have anything to choose, as long as It’s good to be able to work.”

The faces of Zhou Rui's family are all smiling now, and there is a hint of flattery in their tone, "Look at what you said, what is there to work or not to work? You are the master now, isn't it the job of us slaves to do things for the master?"

After saying this, he flattered her and revealed which group of little girls were behind her for Aunt Zhou to choose.

Aunt Zhou just heard from Jia Zheng that she would add three people to her, but she didn't expect Mrs. Wang to arrange it so soon.

Aunt Zhou carefully looked at the dozen or so little girls in front of her, and found that all of them looked very juicy.It doesn't look like serving people, but looks like a lady.

Aunt Zhou frowned and said to Zhou Rui's family: "These little girls are here to serve others, why don't they look a little different to me."
