The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 255 Joint Listing
Jia Ke originally said it casually, but Aunt Zhou took it as a big deal and kept asking.

It was difficult for Jia Ke to tell her the real reason.Because Jia Ke herself is the eldest son of a concubine, if she said that she didn't let them get pregnant because she couldn't have an eldest son.At that time, Aunt Zhou didn't know how sad she was, because Aunt Zhou risked her life in order to give birth to Jia Ke.He even offended Mrs. Wang because of this, and used up all her favor in front of Jia's mother. It can be said that since Jia Ke was born, she has nothing.

So Jia Ke said mildly, "I'm in Xuanfu Town, and I'm busy with business every day. I don't have time to pay attention to these things. Besides, they have been concubines in the past few months, and there is nothing going on." Then it seemed to be a joke. As if to say to Aunt Zhou: "If it's just such a short time, they will all be there. I dare to recognize them, but do you dare to take them?"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou also felt the same reason, she did not say she was pregnant in such a short time, and just like Jia Ke said, he was busy with work and was so tired every day, it would take a while for Qiaolian to conceive.Besides, there are three people in the mansion, even if one person takes turns for one day, Qiaolian only takes turns once in three days.There's no reason to get pregnant so soon.

"Bah, bah, stop talking nonsense, no one is joking about the innocence of your own concubine's house, if outsiders listen to it, they will die if they don't die." Then it seemed that he remembered the hardships of being a concubine these years, and then She began to tell Jia Ke: "Don't talk nonsense about these words in the future. You don't know the pain of being a concubine, but your aunt understands it in my heart. You see, for the sake of serving you for a while, it is considered that you love them more in the future. A little filial piety to me."

Seeing the sad news of congratulating Aunt Zhou, Jia Ke hurriedly changed the subject, "Auntie, look, there are eggplants today, and the eggplants in our mansion are different from others. Even the ones made in the palace can't surpass them. You should try them quickly. "

Aunt Zhou sat at the dining table just now and picked up the chopsticks, wanting to taste the eggplant that Jia Ke said, but she couldn't find anything that looked like eggplant after searching for a long time, so she laughed and scolded Jia Ke, "Nonsense. Where are the eggplants. I searched around the table, but I didn’t see any eggplants.”

Jia Ke smiled and added some eggplant (pronounced xiǎng) and put it on the plate in front of the plate. Aunt Zhou took some chopsticks and put it in her mouth, then said with a smile: "It does taste like eggplant, but to say I don’t believe this is eggplant, I was born in a farm when I was a child. I have never tasted any kind of eggplant. If eggplant could have this taste, we would have stopped growing food and changed to eggplant.”

"Auntie, this is indeed made of eggplant, but to make this eggplant dish, I am afraid that there must be more than a dozen chickens to match it, and it also needs to add chicken breasts, asparagus, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced spices, etc. Dried tofu and dried fruits of various colors." Although Jia Ke was smiling, she felt a bit too extravagant in her heart. You can't afford the material cost of two silver.

"Then is this still eggplant? I'm afraid it contains more chicken than eggplant, but it's just used for a name." Aunt Zhou sighed for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and then waited for Jia Ke to say: "You will go later. If you go there, you can't be so extravagant, otherwise, even if you have mountains of gold and silver, you will lose."

After hearing what Aunt Zhou said, Jia Ke quickly agreed, vowing to be diligent and thrifty in managing the family and never be so extravagant and wasteful, so Aunt Zhou let him go.However, Jia Ke agrees with Aunt Zhou's opinion very much. Such luxury, which is extremely rich in material in modern times, is not a big deal, but in ancient times it was too extravagant.But the luxury of coming to Jia's mansion came from the time when the old Duke was here.At that time, the Jia Mansion had a great reputation, so as long as they didn't rebel, it wouldn't be a big deal.But this habit has been passed down, so that now I can't change it even if I want to change it.You must know that it is easy to go from simplicity to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.

A table of dishes, the mother and son just moved a few mouthfuls before they were full, and then Xia Mai came out, these dishes were only slightly moved.Naturally, it cannot be returned to the kitchen intact.

These leftovers are the welfare of the little maids below. You must know that the usual meal for these little maids is a bowl of white rice and a little vegetables.When the meat can be eaten, it will be rewarded by the master, or if the master can't finish it at this time, the rest will belong to these servant girls.

At this time, Xia Mai was like a general, commanding the little maids to take out these dishes in the same way, and put them on the table they had prepared long ago, and then ordered the little maids to clean up all the tables, chairs and benches in the living room , and then led the people back out.

Next, Xia Mai came to the table they had prepared long ago, directed a few maidservants to take out the bowls they had prepared, picked out most of the dishes on the plate, and put them aside.Xia Maicai and a few maidservants ate the rest of the dishes to their heart's content.

They distributed these dishes and wanted to send them home. Their family had never seen these dishes in their life. Since they had this opportunity, they naturally wanted to send some of them home.This is also a hidden benefit of these maids, but in the past, they did not have such treatment.Those who have these treatments are all the maids in Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother's room.However, the big maids around Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang disdain to do this. In the end, the dishes left by Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were shared by the little maids in their room.

After dinner, Aunt Zhou chatted with Jia Ke for a while, mainly asking Qiaolian when they could come back, and whether the date of Jia Ke's marriage has been fixed?Jia Ke answered everything he knew, mainly saying that Qiaolian and the others might not be able to get home until a month later.As for getting married, of course it depends on what Jia Zheng wants.

The two chatted until very late, when Aunt Zhou saw Jia Ke dozing off, she let him go, and then the mother and son went to rest.

The next day, Jia Ke got up early, had breakfast prepared in the kitchen, and went to the military plane in the palace to start her first day of work.

With his waist card, Jia Ke entered the palace without hindrance. When he arrived at the military plane, he found that Pan Yong had been here for a while, and was lying on the table watching the memorial, with several young eunuchs waiting beside him.

As soon as Pan Yong saw Jia Ke coming, he quickly waved to him, "Master Jia, hurry up and take a look at the few memorials sent today. I think they are a bit unusual. Let's read and draw up an agenda before we can send them to you." emperor."

Jia Ke walked over, took a memorial from the case on the table, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, it turned out that it was a memorial to intercede for several academicians, all of whom were jointly signed by some imperial students.

Jia Ke looked at a few copies, but they probably meant the same thing. They were all pleading papers from college students. The more Jia Ke read them, his brows became tighter. These pleading papers were only made by high school students, not a single official. I'm afraid someone was behind the link. , and then roll out these too students to interview in front.

Seeing Jia Ke's frowning, Pan Yong said angrily, "What are these people trying to do? Do they still want to turn things around for the prince?"

"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the prince. It's just that the two great scholars have been in the study for a long time, and their disciples and old officials are all over the world. Some of them must come to connect with each other and want to rescue the two great scholars. Depending on the prestige of the great scholars, there may be more in the future." Recovery is possible." Jia Ke made his own judgment on Pan Yong.

Pan Yong is different from the other two great scholars. The other two great scholars are great Confucian scholars with many disciples.And Pan Yong was able to become a bachelor only because of the emperor's favor, and some promising students disdain to be with him, so he didn't think about it in the past, and now he suddenly understood Jia Ke's words.

Pan Yong then thought for a while and said: "Since that's the case, our plan is like a countermeasure, and then we will play it to the emperor together."

Jia Ke was very troubled by this matter. After all, each of these college students had something to do with each other. If so many people gather together, if one of them is not handled properly, it will lead to a catastrophe.

"Master Pan, on the surface, this incident seems to be just a student pleading for mercy with two university scholars. In fact, there must be many courtiers behind it. If we write down the method of disposal, the offenders will go to sea in the end. "

Pan Yong sat there and thought for a while, and it really is the truth. Now that he is not very powerful, if he has a conflict with these people and is remembered by these people, he may not be able to escape.

"Then what does Master Jia mean? We have to approve this book anyway, otherwise we will not be able to explain it when the emperor asks."

Jia Ke also knew that what Pan Yong said was reasonable. After all, they were ministers of military aircraft. If they had no objections and sent them directly to the emperor, what would they do?
"Master Pan, do you think this is okay? We don't write down the method of disposal, let the emperor decide on his own, we just tell the emperor the guess, what do you think?" Jia Ke thought about it and could only say the guess Come out, and let the emperor solve this hot potato by himself.

"That's it, let's just write down the conjectures we made just now in the regulations and report it to the emperor." Pan Yong said with narrowed eyes.

Jia Ke understood what he meant in an instant, and she had some insight into the cruelty of these old people in the court. If they suppressed this memorial, or wrote a few words lightly to the emperor, the emperor would at most be On the memorial, the words "I got it" were written.After all, this is just a joint memorial of the Tai students, and those Tai students did not come to the court to make trouble. In the eyes of the emperor, it is okay to make a big problem into a small one.

But if their analysis is also included in the regulations, the emperor will be furious at that time, and at the same time he will be shocked by the power of the two great scholars.Then these two bachelors don't have physiology.

But after Jia Ke thought about it, it didn't hurt him at all, and there was no need to turn against Pan Yong, who had just become a colleague, for them.

Besides, after disposing of these two grand scholars, their power will fall apart, and it will be time for them to win people's hearts and control these courtiers.

So he nodded and said to Pan Yong: "Master Pan, I have been helping the emperor handle government affairs in the past. I will leave this matter to my lord. Your lord will write the rules and I will sign after I read them."
