The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 456
Mother Jia was sitting there at peace, but when she heard Wang Xifeng's complaint, she smiled and scolded her: "This hot pepper is not doing well on her own, but she is blaming me instead. Let's see how I deal with you in the future." Then she smiled. Said to the mandarin duck next to her: "Go and pull her mouth, and see if she dares to speak of me in the future."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Mother Jia and said, "Madam please forgive me this time, I will never dare again."

Only then did Mother Jia let her go with a smile.

As a result, before the servants of Feng Ziying's family left, someone else came to give gifts.

Zhang Chaoxin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the censor of the right capital, Tian Hui, the imperial servant, Chen Zuoliang, the Taichang Shaoqing, Peng Bi, the servant of the Ministry of war, and Xie Xiang, the censor of the left deputy.When Jia Ke's buddies heard that Jia Ke brought the old lady to Qingxu Temple, they all sent gifts.

In addition to them, there were also some unnamed officials who came to join in the fun and gave gifts, and some even waited at the door in person, wanting Jia Ke to meet.

Jia Mu regretted it and said, "It's not a serious business. We just wandered around and didn't alarm people."

After it was over, he blamed Jia Ke and said, "It's because you came here that made such a big commotion that we couldn't be idle."

Jia Ke was also a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that just a normal visit to the temple fair would develop into this state.He now also admires the sharp eyes and ears of these officials. He didn't expect these people to know that he was coming just after he arrived at Qingxuguan.

Jia Ke had no choice but to tell Liu Yu, "Go and tell the waiting officials outside that we are just wandering around with the women at home, and it is not convenient to meet each other. Let them talk in the yamen if they have anything to do."

After listening to Jia Ke's order, Liu Yu did not dare to neglect, and led a few people to the gate of Qingxu Temple.

He was also startled when he came outside the door, only to see that there were a sea of ​​people here, either luxuriously dressed mansions or officials in official clothes.

And Jia Ke's personal soldiers, as well as the infantry commander of the yamen, blocked the door of Qingxu Temple, preventing them from entering, otherwise, these people would have broken in no matter what.

These people stood there arguing because they wanted to see Jia Ke, but they were stopped by the guards, no matter what good things they said, they couldn't enter the gate of Qingxu Temple.

Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands to these people and said, "Everyone, don't argue, listen to me."

Liu Yu shouted several times in a row, and these people gradually quieted down.

Liu Yu couldn't help but wiped his sweat secretly, these people really worked hard for their official positions.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Yu cupped his hands and said to them again: "I'm sorry everyone, our uncle has spoken. Today I just accompany the female family members of the mansion to hang out at Qingxu Temple, and I don't deal with official business. If there is anything, I will come tomorrow Let's talk in the yamen."

When everyone heard Liu Yu say this, they immediately clamored again.It was not easy for everyone to seize this opportunity to present gifts to Jia Ke, to curry favor with this powerful man.Let everyone go now, how would these people, especially those servants who came to give gifts at the order of their masters, if they didn't deliver the gifts to Jia Ke, how would they explain to their masters when they go back.

So these people came rushing in like Qingxu Temple, with the intention of breaking through the blockade and entering Qingxu Temple to meet Jia Ke.

But Liu Yu didn't care about this, and immediately ordered people to block these people, and they must not be allowed to enter the view of the pure and empty, disturbing the quietness of the uncle.

These people quarreled outside for a long time, seeing that they really couldn't get in, and Jia Ke didn't want to see them, so they left resentfully.

Liu Yujian and the others breathed a sigh of relief after leaving. They never thought that these people in the officialdom would be so crazy just to see Jia Ke.

But it is only natural for Liu Yu to think about it now. Xiang Jia Ke is now in charge of the government, holding their lifeblood, and all their opportunities for promotion and fortune are in Jia Ke's hands. How can they not try their best to curry favor?

After seeing these people leave, Liu Yu re-entered the Qingxu Temple and arrived at the main building.After seeing Jia Ke, he reported back to him: "Master, those people have left."

Jia Ke sat there watching the show with the old lady, nodded lightly, and then waved to Liu Yu to let him go down.

Sitting in the middle, Jia Mu squinted and saw Liu Yu retreating from the main building, and then asked Jia Ke, "You dismissed those people."

Hearing Jia Mu's question, Jia Ke quickly stood up and came to her side, cupped his hands respectfully and said, "As for the old lady, my grandson has sent all those people outside, and now no one bothers the old lady." Yaxing."

While watching the play, Jia Mu said, "I don't have any sense of elegance now. It's just a temple fair, which disturbs so many adults and relatives. It's too much. Come back in the afternoon, there's no need to stay any longer. Otherwise Tomorrow, I don’t know how many people will get the news and come.”

Jia Ke thought about it for a while and it was indeed the case, and turned around to discuss with Wang Xifeng, "Second daughter-in-law Lian, you heard what the old lady said, what do you think?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I'm just an errand, and it's the old lady who makes the decision. Since the old lady wants to go back, I will make arrangements now."

After Wang Xifeng said this, she saluted Jia Ke and Jia Mu and went downstairs.

Mother Jia watched Wang Xifeng go downstairs, beckoned to Jia Ke, and brought her to her side.

Jia Ke stood beside Jia Mu, listening to her reprimand respectfully.

Jia Mu sat there and pondered for a while, thinking about how to tell him, but finally said helplessly: "I have something to tell you, don't refuse after you hear it."

Jia Ke hurriedly said: "See if you have anything to say, as long as I can do it, how dare you refuse the old lady."

After hearing what he said, Mother Jia didn't have any happy expression, but took out a golden unicorn from her sleeve.Then he handed it to Jia Ke, "You take that thing. It can be regarded as a token."

Jia Ke took the golden unicorn, and thought about the bridge in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and knew what was going on with the golden unicorn.

He just thought that this golden unicorn was acquired by Jia Baoyu before, so why would it be given to him by Jia's mother now.

After Jia Ke took the golden unicorn, she looked at Jia's mother in doubt, not knowing what she meant.

Mother Jia saw Jia Ke's doubts, "This golden unicorn is a token sent to you by a woman's family. I also promised this matter for you."

Jia Ke was not angry because of this. In ancient times, this kind of thing would happen to almost every wealthy family.

But Jia Ke said suspiciously: "Old lady, I already have a wife. Which family is willing to send their daughter to our mansion to be an ordinary concubine?"

When Jia Ke wanted to come to this family's house, he might have taken a fancy to his own power and was just trying to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

When Jia Mu heard Jia Ke's question, she pondered for a while, and decided to tell him the truth: "This golden unicorn was sent by my natal family. I am afraid that your two cousins ​​and uncles want to marry our family."

In Jia Ke's impression, Shi Xiangyun might still be thinking about Jia Baoyu in his heart.How could it be so easy to agree to marry this old man as a concubine.

Jia Ke couldn't help complaining: "I'm not talking about you, old lady. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to do. I've seen Sister Shi too. She's really smart and has a chivalrous spirit. She's so proud and arrogant. How could a person be someone else's concubine?"

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Jia's mother said to him: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just stay at home and wait to marry a beautiful girl. The two masters of the historian will definitely do it for you .”

Jia Ke still couldn't accept it, "Old lady, I think it's better to forget about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be a relative in the end."

Seeing Jia Ke's evasion, Jia's mother immediately lowered her face, "Could it be that you don't even respect what I mean?"

In this feudal dynasty where Jia Ke ruled the world with filial piety, there is no reason to disrespect Jia Mu's order.He quickly knelt down on the ground, cupped his fists upwards and said, "How dare the grandson refute the old lady's point of view, everything is obeyed by the old lady."

When Jia Mu saw Jia Ke knelt down to make amends, she felt relieved. She immediately calmed down, and said to Jia Ke gently, "Let me tell you the truth. I didn't want to agree to this marriage at first, but Taoist Zhang I had no choice but to force myself to come here to ask for a marriage.”

Jia Ke said puzzledly: "Old lady, what is the origin of this Taoist priest? You are so considerate of him."

"I don't care about him, it's just that he did a big thing for our Jia family back then, and I promised to do three things for him. He said this to me today, so I had no choice but to agree." Speaking of this, I also feel a little emotional. In this matter, the Jia family took advantage of it.

Jia Ke saw that Jia's mother had only said so far and did not continue to explain to him, so she stopped asking.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng came up from downstairs.Seeing Mother Jia and Jia Ke talking there, she stepped up from a distance.

"Old lady, I've taken care of things for you. I'll make sure it's done this time, and we'll be able to leave in a while." Wang Xifeng said loudly as she walked this way.

When Jia Mu saw Wang Xifeng coming, she stopped her mouth, raised her head and said to her, "Aren't you ashamed to come to me to ask for credit after just doing something?"

Behind Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing also followed. After seeing Qin Keqing, Jia Ke couldn't help feeling a little unnatural when he thought about the marriage that Jia's mother told him just now.

Mother Jia saw Jia Ke's uneasiness, so she said to him, "You don't have to worry, I will take care of this matter naturally, and I guarantee that your family will be harmonious and there will be no trouble."

Only then did Jia Ke feel relieved. In fact, Jia Ke didn't feel it herself. She was a little afraid of Qin Keqing. It was just because Qin Keqing was so beautiful that Jia Ke couldn't help letting her go when she was with her.After a long time, it became a habit that Jia Ke couldn't let go.

After a while, the three plays were over, and everyone went out of the Qingxu Temple together without intending to stay any longer. Surrounded by everyone, Jia Mu got on the eight-carried sedan chair again.Then he returned to Rongguo Mansion in a mighty way.

After everyone returned to Dao Rongguo Mansion, they gathered at Jiamu's place for a while, and then dispersed.
