Red House Shoufu

Chapter 363

Everyone in the honorable circle of the capital knew that the emperor's imperial conferment on Jia Amnesty was actually a form of compensation in disguise.

According to Jia Daishan's achievements in the past, the normal pattern of succession is the hereditary three generations.However, because of the "previous prince's treason case", Jia's family took a big responsibility, so Jia She was allowed to stay at home and only received the title of a first-class general. There was also a plaque of Rongguo Mansion at the gate.

Now the Marquis of Rong Guohou represents Jia She's true strength. After all, he was the companion who was personally selected by the Supreme Emperor for the former prince, and the first-class general in the East Palace.How could a fierce man who led people to fight out of the Great Wall at the age of eighteen be a dandy in the eyes of the common people?
An imperial decree to confer the title of Marquis completely stirred up the honorable circle in the capital, and Ningrong Street was already crowded with people who went to Rongguo Mansion to congratulate him before evening.

Even those who were not very close to Jia's family came to congratulate them one after another.Because they knew that the imperial conferment this time meant that the Rongguo Mansion would be the head of the top generals of Wu Xun within a hundred years within three generations.

The Rongxi Hall was already full, and there were at least 30 people from each prefecture's concubines, concubines, daughters-in-law, and young girls.

This does not include the newly released Mrs. Jia Xing, although because she is the successor, the Ministry of Rites, in accordance with the system, denied the imperial decree of Mrs. Chaopin Guohou, and finally named Jia She's first wife as Mrs. Chaopin Rongguohou. At the same time, Jia Xing's super-class Mrs. Yuzhang County was conferred.

At this time, the Jia Xing family still had no bitterness in the past. They entertained the wives who came to the banquet in a dignified manner, and even took the initiative to take on the job that was supposed to be the hostess of the house. Among the little girls from various families who came to the mansion, Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, and Jia Huan were selected as future wives.

Although the person she picked might not be able to pass her mother-in-law's eyes, but when she whispered to Jia Shishi about the candidate she liked, it was the first time that Jia Shishi looked at her differently.

There was still a long time before the dinner party, Jia Shi saw that the girls were bored staying in the Rongxi Hall, so he asked his granddaughter-in-law Wang Xifeng to take the younger generation to the Grand View Garden.

In the past, the Grand View Garden, which was basically empty except for the main hall, once again ushered in laughter and laughter, which made the maids stationed in the courtyard feel that the Grand View Garden was much more alive.

It's early autumn, although the autumn tiger has not yet passed, but the yard is full of fallen flowers, full of autumn chrysanthemums, and the fragrance of flowers.

Not to mention Shan Yezi's workmanship, Jia's provincial court is the best in the capital, but compared with it, the Forbidden City is more majestic but less refined.

Those girls who have never visited the Grand View Garden are all infected by the architecture and beauty of the north-south style. They linger in the beauty of the Grand View Garden and are full of praise.

Daiyu has something on her mind, but she is not very interested.

Unlike others, Daiyu still remembers the beaten Jia Baoyu.This cousin was very kind to her when she was young. Although she had no personal affair with her children, Daiyu learned from Wang Xifeng that Jia Baoyu had caused a big disaster this time, otherwise she would not have forced her second uncle to hide it from her. The old lady hung him up and beat him.

Taking advantage of the break, Daiyu asked Wang Xifeng what happened in a low voice.

"Sister Feng, what kind of trouble did Baoyu get into? He actually made the second uncle so angry."

Wang Xifeng looked around strangely, and whispered in Daiyu's ear, "Do you still remember the Xiren in Baoyu's room?"

"remember."

"That attacker is pregnant..."

"what?"

Daiyu covered her mouth in surprise, it turned out to be such a disaster!

He didn't marry his regular wife, and the girl in the house was pregnant. Jia Baoyu's desire to marry a famous and noble daughter in the future has basically become a luxury.If Xiren gave birth to Jia Baoyu's eldest son, no matter whether it was a girl from a scholarly family or a daughter from a noble family, no one would be willing to marry him as his legal wife.

Wang Xifeng continued: "If it's just this matter, it's fine. With the old lady's love for Baoyu, I can find a way to solve it. But Baoyu went to Dongshi to play yesterday, and played with Zhen Baoyu from Zhen's family all night. Not back! Sister Lin should be clear about the current situation of the Zhen family. Our family and the Zhen family are facing each other, not to mention His Majesty... Sigh, your second brother Lian is still having a headache, what should we do about this matter? it is good."

Can the second brother Lian not have a headache?Apart from the loyal loyalists of the palace and the families that could no longer leave, who would be willing to get involved with the Zhen family?

"Baoyu is also true, don't you still have no idea who to associate with?"

After Daiyu complained, she still opened her mouth and said: "This matter can be big or small, His Majesty knows about Baoyu's situation, and His Majesty will not believe that the government will have anything to do with the Zhen family..."

"Grandma, the second master in the front yard has sent word that the wife of Mr. Zhen, the president of the Tiren Institute, has come with the sixth girl from the Zhen family. The second master asked grandma to go..."

Wang Xifeng and Daiyu looked at each other, almost thinking of Jia Baoyu in their hearts.

"Trouble is coming!"

Wang Xifeng smiled wryly, and said to Daiyu: "Rumors spread in the capital this morning, saying that the two Baoyus are more masculine. Before this can be suppressed, it is rumored that Baoyu did not return all night yesterday because of Zhen The family felt that Baoyu of the Jia family was the son of Jia Jia, and wanted to marry the Jia family, so they talked all night."

"This matter is absolutely impossible. If we marry the Zhen family, it will be a thorn in His Majesty's heart, and he will not be able to get it out even if he wants to!"

Daiyu still understands the current emperor very well, not only diligently governing and loving the people, but also has an extraordinary tolerance for her own people.

But at the same time, he has an extraordinary suspicion of an emperor, probably because of the events in his early years, how ruthless he is to those who betray him.

"Sister Feng, let's do this..."

Daiyu whispered a few words in Wang Xifeng's ear, and then the two hurried out of the Grand View Garden.Wang Xifeng went to pick up the mother and daughter of the Zhen family, while Daiyu hurried to Rongxi Hall.

……

"Yu'er, are you looking for me?"

Originally Jia Shishi was happily entertaining guests in Rongxi Hall, when Yuanyang suddenly told her that Daiyu was waiting for her in the back hall and had something important to say.

Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to explain what happened, and Jia Shishi almost panicked.Overjoyed and shocked, I feel that everything today has become unreal.

In the entire Rongguo Mansion, no one knows how terrible the emperor's suspicion is than Jia Shishi, an old lady who has experienced three generations of emperors.

From the first emperor to the Supreme Emperor, and then to the current emperor, the old lady married into the Rongguo Mansion from a historian, from the ups and downs to the ups and downs, Jia Shishi has long understood that if there is even a sliver of doubt between the monarch and his ministers, it will gradually be magnified countless times .

Maybe one day, this insignificant crack will produce an unimaginable disaster!

"What should I do? How could Baoyu have anything to do with the Zhen family?"

For a while, Jia Shishi didn't know what to do.Although she could still remain calm, the mother and daughter of the Zhen family would not come to Rongguo Mansion for no reason.The two families have not communicated for a long time in the past two years, and the Zhen family and Yuan Chun in the palace can basically be defined as enemies.

Daiyu stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Grandmother, the most important thing right now is to find a way to let other people see our family's attitude. Let everyone know that our family and the Zhen family are inseparable!"

Jia Shishi was shocked and said: "How can this work? The Supreme Emperor is still alive, if our family has a public quarrel with the Zhen family, wouldn't that be slapping a saint in the face?"

"I don't care about that much anymore, His Majesty's is the most important thing."

Daiyu said solemnly: "The sage has been shrewd all his life, how could he still think that the relationship between Jia and Zhen is still the same at this time? It's just too lazy to talk about it. Grandma, you should never stop being disturbed by it, why don't you take this opportunity , completely revealed our attitude. After all, the world today belongs to His Majesty, and it will belong to His Majesty even more in the future!"

Jia Shishi also understood Daiyu's meaning, doing so may offend the Supreme Emperor, but it will let the current emperor understand the loyalty of the Rongguo Mansion.

But what should be used to break the real relationship between the two?It is best for everyone to know that the two families have changed from old relatives to enemies, and it is an irreconcilable hatred!

……

When Daiyu helped Jia Shishi back to Rongxi Hall, Wang Xifeng happened to accompany Zhen Yingjia's wife, Zhen Fangshi, and Zhen Yingjia's niece, Zhen Yingdao's daughter, Zhen Baolian.

"My niece (grandniece) greets the old lady!"

The etiquette of the mother and daughter of the Zhen family is very complete. After the big ceremony, Zhen Fang said with a smile: "Grandmother always cares about the old lady in Jinling. The niece and daughter-in-law must personally deliver it to the old lady."

Facing Zhen Fangshi's smiling face, Jia Shishi changed from his previous intimacy, and just said a few words in a casual manner.This made other people in the room a little puzzled. Although they knew that the Zhen and Jia families were not as close as before, the Fengsheng lady of the Zhen family was as close to the Rongguo Mansion as a family.

Back then, Jia Daishan was the emperor's accompanying student, and he was often taken care of by Feng Sheng's wife in the palace. Even though the two families were not as good as before, Jia Shi's three festivals and two birthdays were still constant, and he often went to Jinling to ask for his greetings.

Daiyu stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Jia Shishi with both hands.

Standing behind Jia Shishi, she took the opportunity to read the short letter.Daiyu didn't know if it was Mrs. Fengsheng's real meaning, but there was a meaning between the lines in the letter, lamenting the close relationship between the two families in the past, and wanting to marry the two families, and continue the fate of the two families.

"Ugh!"

Jia Shishi let out a long sigh and was unable to speak for a long time.

Mrs. Fengsheng probably had a premonition that the Zhen family was about to face a catastrophe, and she was using the future of the Jia family to give the Zhen family a chance.

Before the old lady responded, Zhen Fang spoke first: "Old lady, grandma heard that you have raised several girls under your knees, all of them are very good. Grandmother sent her niece and daughter-in-law here this time, and there is one more thing, that is, I want to marry the girl under your knees for my kid!"

"The girls under Mrs. Tai's knees are indeed the best!"

"Don't even mention it, if there is a boy of the right age in my family, I would have invited a matchmaker to propose marriage!"

"Doesn't Mrs. Zhen only have one son? Mrs. Tai now has two granddaughters left, but the third girl of the right age seems to be the concubine of Mr. Zheng. Could it be that she is seeking the fourth girl? The identity is suitable, but the age difference is too big .”

……

Before Jia Shishi responded, the other women in the room began to discuss in low voices.

Although the Zhen family is no better than before, the camels are bigger than horses, not to mention Zhen Baoyu, the most favored eldest son and grandson of Mrs. Fengsheng.When Mrs. Fengsheng passed away, the palace had to look at Mrs. Fengsheng's hard work and give Zhen Baoyu a future.

This has nothing to do with political struggles, it is the royal family's reward for Mrs. Fengsheng's protection of the Supreme Emperor.

"Madam Zhen, you are joking!"

Jia Shishi didn't speak for a long time, but Daiyu who was standing by her side said: "You should be talking about the eldest son and grandson of your mansion, Mrs. Fengsheng's favorite great-grandson, right? Now there are only three younger sisters and three sisters under my grandmother's knees." The fourth younger sister didn't talk about relatives. Although my family doesn't care whether they are noble or poor, but the etiquette system is like this, the third younger sister is a concubine after all, not worthy of a brother in your family. Although the fourth younger sister was born as a first-class daughter, there is too much age difference. Not suitable!"

"This is the owner of Rongjia County. Coincidentally, my family is also the same. Everyone knows that the girls under the old lady's knees are like gold and jade. How dare my family have any distinctions."

Mrs. Zhen Fang had already prepared the countermeasures for various situations, and she immediately responded with a smile: "I have heard about the third girl in your mansion. She manages the house in an orderly manner and has a refreshing temper. She is a good candidate for a daughter-in-law."

She turned her eyes to Jia Shishi, and there was even a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Old lady, our two families have been on good terms for generations, if we can get married, wouldn't it be a kiss and a kiss? That boy in my family is only eighth grade Dou, but he is also well-known in Jinling as a talented young man. Now Meng Shengen has entered the Imperial College to study, and he may come back with a Jinshi examination next year..."

"Oh, brother is a good brother, but some things in your family make me, an old lady, dare not marry my granddaughter into your family!"

Jia Shishi first let out a long sigh, and then said something coldly that everyone in the hall couldn't believe.

I only heard Jia Shishi say: "You guys brought the secret medicine of the previous dynasty into the palace without telling Mrs. Fengsheng, how many people have you counted? Last year, you even hit my eldest granddaughter with the idea, you say, I dare to use it Do other granddaughters marry into your family?"

"old lady!"

Even Zhen Fang couldn't believe that Jia Shi would reveal this matter even after beating him to death. The Zhen family's concubine in the palace has dominated the sixth palace for so many years, so many people's blood has been stained on her hands.

The Zhen family knew about this kind of thing, so did the Supreme Emperor, and even most of the Chinese and military in Beijing knew it clearly.But no one dared to say this, the Supreme Emperor valued his face more than anyone could imagine.

Today, Jia Shishi suddenly broke this matter, is this to cut off the Jia family's favor from the Supreme Emperor?
The mother and daughter of the Zhen family turned pale, especially Zhen Fangshi, who was completely frightened by Jia Shishi's unexpected behavior.After all calculations, the Zhen family did not expect that Jia Shishi would be so courageous, and dared to adopt a way that would hurt both sides, completely draw a line with the Zhen family, and stop Mrs. Fengsheng's plan.

"Old lady, this is slander! The Zhen family upholds the way of benevolence for generations, and our grandmother often teaches us to be kind and not to do things that harm others..."

Zhen Fangshi still wanted to refute one or two, but unexpectedly, Jia Shishi broke out a bigger shocking news, which caused an uproar in Rongxi Hall.

"Mrs. Fengsheng has been benevolent all her life, but her children are useless. Concubine Zhen used a secret medicine to harm Concubine Jinghui. Is it true that the old woman is blind? My eldest granddaughter was pregnant with dragon son last year, and she wanted to use the same tricks. Repeat. If it wasn't for the blessing of the imperial concubine, would the little prince still be born safely?"

Who is the noble concubine Jinghui? The juniors don't know, but the concubines who are about the same age as Jia Shishi immediately thought of Concubine Hui who was once loved by the emperor.

Although so many years have passed, the night of wind and rain in the palace is still deeply memorable.When the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing, he killed nearly a hundred court ladies in just one day, and was granted the title and buried in the imperial mausoleum against all opinions, so that no one could forget the cinnabar mole in the Supreme Emperor's heart.

Jia Shishi ignored the discussion in the auditorium, and asked Zhen Fangshi in a cold tone: "Tell me, with such a Zhen family, would I dare to let my granddaughter marry?"
