dream of red mansion

Chapter 791 Butler
Jia Qing was promoted to the Duke of the State, and he was named the Crown Prince and Taibao. The news of being ranked as the third Duke soon spread to Jia's mansion.

All the people in Jia's house were pleasantly surprised.

God, even when the ancestors were alive, they never achieved such glory!

The duke is male, the duke is the first.For civil and military official positions, Sangong is the apex.

Although I heard that the emperor also named the current chief minister of the cabinet as Prince Taifu, whose rank is slightly higher than Jia Qing, but the chief minister of the cabinet is all in his seventies and eighties, and he has no title on him, he is a pure civil servant.

In terms of dignity alone, I'm afraid it can't compare to Jia Qing.

What's more, I heard that all the soldiers and horses in the capital are directly or indirectly in the hands of Jia Qing, and he even has the sword of the emperor in his hand, which can kill all the ministers.

No one in Beijing is afraid of being branded as the eldest prince or Prince Kang's henchman, and being implicated.

Jia Qing's power can be said to overwhelm the government and the opposition for a while.

People in the Jia family may not understand it very well, but everyone knows that the Jia family is "remarkable".

With the empress in the palace and powerful ministers like Jia Qing outside, it's so cool, I'm afraid that even the Beijing Prince's Mansion will be inferior to Jia's Mansion.
Therefore, in Jia's mansion, from the master to the slave, almost everyone has a look of pride on their faces, and talks loudly with everyone they meet.

They don't know that all this is because the imperial court needs to rely on Jia Qing to suppress the rebellion.Once the rebels broke through the city, the worst would probably be the Jia Mansion.

In their view, the great Chu has been established for a hundred years, which emperor did not experience several rebellions during his reign?But without exception, all were quelled.Can the rebels really turn the tide?

Doesn't the matter of the eldest prince just illustrate this problem?
In the Ningguo Mansion, Youshi brought the silver plate, Xiaohong and several housekeeper mothers to Ning'an Hall.

After chatting with Baochai for a few words, she went straight to the point and said:

"Because of the instability in Beijing these past few days, the second master has not come home, so he forgot about it. I used to help the second uncle take care of the family affairs. Now that the younger siblings are married, these matters are naturally the younger sister's responsibility." to manage.

This box contains the cashier's pair of cards and two bunches of master keys, which I will give to my sister.

Also, this one belongs to Lai Sheng's family, she is the mother of the chief steward inside, and the guy in her family is also the chief steward outside.This Liu Tian's family, her family is in charge of the storehouse and other things in the mansion, and this "

She came to hand over the housekeeping power to Baochai.

Baochai frowned, and before she finished speaking, she said, "Wait a minute, sister-in-law, this matter must not be rushed. My sister-in-law has taken care of the house well these years. When I was still in the boudoir, I often listened to the old lady and ladies over there. Talk about the wisdom of sister-in-law, and it is best for the family to be managed only by sister-in-law.

I just entered the mansion, and I don't understand everything, so how dare I take on this burden rashly.

Besides, since the second master asked his sister-in-law to take care of the house, I never took this job privately.Even if the sister-in-law really wanted to put down this burden and hide for a while, it would be justifiable only when the second master came back and the sister-in-law told the second master in person.

I must never go beyond the second master.If not, everyone blames me for being frivolous and not talking about it, and the second master can't justify it. "

Youshi smiled and said: "What frivolity is not frivolity, the second uncle in the family is in charge. Before he got married, I helped him manage the past that Shang said. Now that you are here, I still hold on to this position. That's unreasonable." Woolen cloth!"

Baochai still shook her head.

"No matter what my sister-in-law says, I won't accept the things. My sister-in-law should take them back."

"This"

You Shi was in a dilemma.

It so happened that at this time the servant girl said that Aunt Xue wanted to see Baochai, but You couldn't, so she had to go back first.

Aunt Xue is the mother-in-law, so even if she wants to see her daughter, it's not good to come to her son-in-law's house in the first few days of the wedding.Baochai and Jia Qing haven't come home to offer tea yet, so it's not easy for her to invite Baochai back to her mother's house.

Fortunately, although Baochai in Hengwuyuan can no longer live in the Grand View Garden, it is still Baochai's house because of Jia Qing's words before it was abolished.Aunt Xue waits for Baochai here, which is not against etiquette.

Baochai and her mother have not seen each other for two or three days since her big wedding, and now that she is a wife of another family, seeing her mother again, it is naturally a lot of tears.

Aunt Xue said: "My son, you are not a child anymore. As a woman, you should be dignified and polite, and you should not behave like a child anymore."

As Aunt Xue said, she was very sentimental after all, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

When Baochai saw it, she wept and said, "In front of mother, I will always be a daughter. Whatever posture a daughter should have, that's what a daughter should be."

His tone changed from his usual steady tone, and he was quite self-willed and high-spirited.

Aunt Xue felt distressed when she saw Baochai like this.Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, she knows that her daughter is not born with a "mature and prudent" temperament.It's her who is premature and sensible, and restrains her words and deeds with high requirements beyond her family status.

I still remember that when Baochai was a child, she was also a lively and lovely girl who liked to act like a baby and love to play.

But since her grandfather passed away, the Xue family began to decline gradually.

Later, Xue's father thought about his father's relationship with the palace, so he deliberately let Baochai enter the palace, so as to restore the Xue family's decline.

Perhaps, it is precisely to understand their mission.Since then, Baochai has restrained her instincts, and made herself better in all aspects of speech, behavior, female talent and so on.

It can be said that Baochai is successful enough.

She has won unanimous praise from family and friends, relatives and family friends.

In the eyes of Aunt Xue, there is no more sensible and outstanding girl than her daughter in the world.

However, this sensibility and excellence made her feel distressed and apologetic.

Fortunately, I corrected Father Xue's plan in time.Now the daughter finally has a good belonging.

Sitting on the kang, hugging Baochai affectionately, Aunt Xue asked, "I've been there for the past two days, are you still used to it? Is there anything embarrassing?"

"No." Baochai replied quietly.

Aunt Xue smiled inwardly, knowing that it was a waste of time to ask her.With her daughter's personality, even if there is something embarrassing, she will not take the initiative to talk to herself in order not to worry her.

"I called you here today. Besides I want to see you, I just want to tell you a few words."

"Mother, please tell me."

Baochai propped herself up and said seriously.

Aunt Xue saw that although Baochai wore a woman's hairstyle, but her face was still young like a girl's, she asked, "Have you and Brother Qing not consummated yet?"

Ah, Baochai felt ashamed, hurriedly buried her head back into her mother's arms, nodded with difficulty, and said, "He hasn't returned home since he went out that day."

There was a trace of resentment in the tone.

"Hehe." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary couple, the man's family has to earn money to support his wife and children outside, and his career is the most important thing. Let alone a person like him?
Since he is a courtier, now that the country is facing a crisis, he should put the country's affairs first. "

Aunt Xue suddenly sighed in her heart: It is said that Jia Qing is now leading the army to resist the rebels, and he can't go home because he is busy, which means that the rebels are powerful!
However, she would naturally not say these words to Baochai, lest she increase her worries in vain.

But how could Baochai fail to guess this?
Although Jia Qing left a large number of people to protect the family, but with this sudden change, and the turmoil between Jia Rong and others on the day of the wedding has not dissipated, the family is actually in crisis.

If it wasn't for stabilizing the situation at home and preventing chaos in Jia Qing's backyard, it would be difficult for her to keep quiet these few days.

Now in the private room and in front of her mother, she also lost her scruples, and said with a worried look on her face: "My daughter naturally understands this truth, but she can't help but worry.

Regardless of the fierce and dangerous battles outside, he has been to the border at any rate, led the troops and made great achievements, and has been in charge of the Beijing camp for many years.

My daughter is most worried about his future situation.

Since ancient times, it has been said that climbing high and falling heavy, he is already an extremely human minister at such an age.

The current situation is naturally safe, but once the rebellion subsides, in what capacity should he gain a foothold in the court?Will the emperor still be able to accommodate him then?
Another thing, what if he can't hold off the rebels? "

As soon as Aunt Xue heard her daughter's words, she knew that her daughter was thinking more and farther than her these days.

"Oh, you can see this, and many people can see it. Could it be that Brother Qing can't see it himself?
Even if Brother Qing was fascinated by loyalty, bravery and blood for a while, among the subordinates and advisers around him, which one is not a human being?Won't you remind him?
All in all, these big things outside, how to decide, and what to do, can only be left to the men to make up their own minds.We women can't help.

The only thing we can do is to help them take care of their homes, and it is our greatest responsibility not to cause chaos at home.

That's why I said just now that I want to instruct you on a few things.

Now the situation on their side is complicated, and Brother Qing himself is on the cusp of the storm, everything must be handled carefully.

The first one is the aunt who died on the day of your wedding."
