The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 461 Token
After listening to Shi Nai's confession, Jia's mother couldn't help crying again.I only knew that the two nephews of my natal family were having a hard time, but I didn't expect to have reached this point.If she had known earlier, she would have lowered her head, and she would never let her nephews give away the only treasure left by her brother.

Moreover, this incident could have been avoided, but now this treasure fell into the hands of Taoist Zhang for no reason.

It's too late to repent now, and the Jia family can't do such a robbery.

And when Jia Mu thought about the treasure that his elder brother had fought so hard to get, the colic in her heart disappeared for no reason. Others could not understand, so now he is crying like rain.

Seeing that Jia's mother was crying again, Jia Zheng quickly persuaded, "Mother, don't do this. If we cry for good or bad, how can we, the younger generations, feel at ease."

The mandarin duck standing next to Jia Mu hurriedly gave Jia Mu a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.

After Jia's mother silenced her grief, she said to Jia Zheng who was next to her, "Take time to tell your eldest brother that they are all relatives, so please help if you can."

Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said to Jia Mu: "Don't worry, mother, I will tell my elder brother when I get back. At least I will make a real job for Brother Nai."

When Jia Mu heard what Jia Zheng said, she was relieved, turned around and said to Shi Nai: "Since you are here, the previous things will be clouded. As for Xiangyun, you can think about it again. Although married Giving it to our eldest brother doesn't count as wronging her, but it's a concubine after all. It's hard to say if you say it."

Shi Nai saw that Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion were so prosperous, how could he let go of this opportunity?Otherwise, this time, it was Jia Ke who assigned him a position, and he would end up here after the relationship faded.

So Shi Nai hurriedly said: "Auntie can't do this. Since the two families have already made an agreement, how can they go back on their word? Besides, the four major families have intermarried for a long time. To put it bluntly, now our Shi family and Jia family only have old ladies We've made contact, what should we do when we arrive?"

After listening to Shi Nai's words, Jia's mother thought it was from his heart.In fact, Mother Jia was also a little worried.Among the four major families, the Jia and Wang families are currently developing the most smoothly.

Moreover, the relationship between these two families is the closest. Although Xue's family is not well developed, they are shameless enough to rely on the big tree of Jia's family.

Only the two nephews of my natal family were born as marquises, and they still need some shame, so they didn't come to Jia Ke for any request during this period of time.

It's okay to have me for a day, but after a while, if I'm gone one day, the historians will probably be excluded from the four major families.Then it will be the time when they are at the end, how can this make Mother Jia not worry?
Now that Mother Jia heard Shi Nai's words, she felt that he was a little enlightened now.So he said to Jia Zheng next to him, "Did the elder brother go to the military aircraft department today? If he is at home, you can call him here. My relatives are here, so I naturally want to see them."

Jia Zheng nodded, then bowed his hands to Shi Nai, and exited Jiamu's room.

Jia Zheng left Jiamu's room, returned to his outer study, called a servant and said, "Go to the Wuyanghou's mansion nearby and see if your uncle is in the mansion now. If he is in the mansion, ask him to come right away." see me."

The young man took Jia Zheng's order and trotted all the way across the Moon Gate to Wuyanghou's mansion.In the front yard of Wuyanghou Mansion, he ran into Qian Mao.

The young man immediately went forward to give Qian Mao a thousand salutes, "Young one, please greet Steward Qian."

Qian Mao looked at the young man and found that it was Jia Zheng's personal entourage, so he didn't dare to put on airs, so he immediately replied, "This young man is not in the mansion to serve the master, what's the matter with us?"

"The master told me to come over to the mansion and ask if the uncle is in the mansion. If he is, the master told him to meet him in the outer study as soon as possible."

Qian Mao smiled and said to him: "It's a coincidence that the uncle didn't go to the military aircraft office today, but was meeting guests in the study outside. I'll let you know."

After Qian Mao finished speaking, he led the young man to Jia Ke's outer study.

Outside the study, Liu Yu and a dozen soldiers guarded the door.

Seeing Qian Mao bringing people over, Liu Yu hurried forward and asked, "Could it be that Steward Qian is here for something?"

"Master ordered someone to come and find him, I'll report to him as soon as possible."

Hearing this statement, Liu Yu hurriedly said to the soldiers next to him: "Go in and call back to the old man, and tell the old man to go over if he has something to do."

After listening to Liu Yu's order, the personal soldier went in to report.

After a while, Jia Ke came out of the study with several people.

Those people came out of the study and bowed to Jia Ke again and again, "Go ahead and do whatever you have to do, and don't delay the important affairs of Lord Hou because of the younger ones."

Jia Ke cupped her hands and said to them, "That's it, I'll go first, I've written down what you said, don't worry, just go back and wait for news."

These people listened to Jia Ke's accurate words, and then went out gratefully.

Seeing these people leaving, Jia Ke turned to the boy and asked, "Why is the master looking for me?"

"I don't dare to ask, but it seems that relatives have come to our house. I think the master asked the uncle to meet." When the young man saw Jia Ke coming out, he hurried forward to flatter him.

Jia Ke nodded, and said to Liu Yu next to her, "Thank you."

Liu Yu immediately took out a piece of scattered silver from his bosom, and handed it to the boy.

The young man took the money and led Jia Ke with a smile on his face.

Jia Ke led Liu Yu and a few soldiers, passed through the Moon Gate and came to Rongguo Mansion, then walked forward, turned around the corridor and came to the front yard of Jia Rongguo Mansion, in front of Jia Zheng's study.

There was a servant waiting in front of Jia Zheng's outer study in the Rongguo Mansion. When he saw Jia Ke coming, he informed the inside and came up to greet Jia Ke.

When Jia Ke came to the outer study, a servant had already opened the curtain for him. Jia Ke entered the study, and saw Jia Zheng sitting upright in the center of the study.

Jia Ke hurriedly bowed to Jia Zheng and said, "My son has greeted his father. I don't know if my father called his son to come. I have something to say."

Seeing Jia Ke coming, Jia Zheng raised his hand to let him sit next to him, and then said: "The old lady's nephew, Baolinghou Shi Nai, came to pay a visit to the mansion and settle the matter between you and Shi Xiangyun by the way. The old lady asked you to go and pay a visit." .”

After listening, Jia Ke thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. I heard that their residence has not been very good these years."

Jia Zheng smiled slightly, his face a little complacent, thinking that although he inherited the Rongguo Mansion among the four major families back then, his status was not high.The two masters of the historian did not think highly of themselves.Unexpectedly, within a few years, he would beg at his own door, and for this reason, he would even date his niece.It seems that power is indeed an intoxicating good thing.

Jia Zheng said indifferently to Jia Ke: "There are still some things. I'm afraid I just want you to help them. I heard the old lady meant the same thing."

Jia Ke thought about the current situation in central Beijing. Almost every position would be contested between Jia Ke and the emperor for a long time. There was no place to put people in. Some of them were probably just small officials who wanted to protect them. Ling Hou Shi Nai disdained to be these petty officials.

"Father, I'm afraid it's not easy to make arrangements in Beijing. If Marquis Baoling is interested, we can only arrange an official position for him in the local area." Jia Ke revealed her arrangement for the Marquis.

Jia Zheng also knows that it is difficult to be an official in Beijing now, and it is really difficult to arrange for the Marquis. If the official is big, Jia Ke may not be able to get him the power he has now. If you don't want to do it, it's better to go to the local government to make arrangements.

"Since that's the case, let's arrange it in the local area. Just be a moderate official." Jia Zheng made a final decision on the future of the Marquis.

Jia Ke nodded after listening, and then replied: "This is also what my son meant, but I still have to ask later, otherwise good intentions will do bad things."

After Jia Zheng listened, he also nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. After you ask clearly, you won't have to complain in the future. But don't be proud for a while. After all, it's the elders who provoked the old lady. If the old lady is upset, we will be ashamed."

After Jia Zheng gave Jia Ke instructions, he took him to Jia Mu's courtyard.

After the two of them came to Jiamu's courtyard, they heard laughter in Jiamu's room.Jia Mu and Shi Nai had a happy chat in the room, and it seemed that the previous grievances were gone.

Jia Zheng took Jia Ke to re-enter Jia Mu's main room. At this time, Jia Mu was holding Shi Nai's hand and talking and laughing non-stop.

When Jia Mu saw Jia Zheng and Jia Ke coming, she quickly waved to them.

Jia Ke was the first to come to Mother Jia and salute her, "Old Ancestor, my grandson is here to salute you."

"Get up, it's like this every time, there's no need in my own home." Mother Jia asked Jia Ke to get up quickly, and then ordered Yuanyang to move a seat for Jia Ke.

Jia Ke took advantage of the situation, while Jia Zheng returned to the big chair next to Jia Mu and sat down.

When Jia Mu saw that Jia Ke was seated, she said, "This is my natal nephew, who can be regarded as your uncle. You go to see him."

Jia Ke had no choice but to stand up again, and bowed in front of Shi Nai, "My nephew greets my uncle."

Shi Nai hurriedly stood up to support him, how dare he ask Jia Ke to give him such a salute, you know he still asked for Jia Ke.

After the salutation, the two sides once again divided the guests and hosts into seats.

At this time, Mother Jia said to Jia Ke: "Your uncle came here this time because of Xiangyun's affairs, I think you also know it. Since you have accepted the golden unicorn from others, you will also send a token there."

Jia Ke wasn't prepared for this, but since Mother Jia ordered it, he thought about it and took out a dagger from his pocket.

This dagger is inlaid with pearls and jade, and even the handle is made of gold.It is said to be a dagger, but it is actually a short knife.And there is a crystal clear diamond inlaid on the handle of the knife, which is rare in the Central Plains.

Jia Ke had snatched this thing from a certain Tatar patriarch, and since he saw its small size and exquisiteness, he really liked it, so he kept it with him all the time.

Jia Ke took out the dagger, put it in front of Jia Mu with both hands, and said, "Old Ancestor, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything else. This dagger is my favorite. I wonder if I can give it to Sister Xiangyun as a token."

Mother Jia took the dagger and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a rare and good thing.Not to mention other things, but the jewels and jade inlaid on it are enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime.
