Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 314 The Power of the Household
Mrs. Lin really couldn't take it anymore, Mrs. Cao's partiality to Xu Jiatong was fine, but if Xu Jiaxing wanted to follow suit, she would not agree to beating her to death.

"Master, I'm talking about Jialan. She used to want to be Princess Xiang, and you agreed. Now that something happened, you have to plan for her." Lin complained.

Xu Xiaozu hesitated for a moment, and the love and affection for Xu Jialan in his heart surged again.

Mrs. Cao smiled: "The past was the past, and now is the present. This is the end of the matter. You can't delay the future. For the family of Xiaozu, you have to think about the family now. No matter how much we love the third girl, it’s useless. Look at the bun seller on the street, he loves his children very much, but what’s the use of that? In the end, it’s just someone taking over from him.”

Before Xu Xiaozu could change his thoughts, he was pulled back. If he, a rich man, didn't take advantage of this moment to move up, he might become an ordinary rich man in ten years.

Lin was blocked and could only stare at Xu Xiaozu.

Xu Xiaozu simply didn't look at Lin, nodded and said: "What mother said is that it's rare that the child Jiatong has recently been favored by the palace, and it's time to discuss her marriage."

"It's good if you figure it out, Xiaozu's family, you should let go of your heart a little bit, Jiatong's future will be fine, and the future of the third girl will not be much worse. There is also the sixth girl, today the sixth girl It's also here, it's not too small, and here are all our own people, so these things don't avoid you. Xiaozu, this matter is also your fault. Although the sixth girl is a concubine, she has a beautiful life. I can't blame her for what happened, now that I'm innocent, I can still find a good family." Cao hinted.

"But Jia Xing's biological mother is not an ordinary aunt, she was carried up by a maid." Lin reminded, and glanced at Xu Jia Xing.

Xu Jiaxing lowered her head and kept silent shyly. She was a smart person, and it was useless for Mrs. Lin to fiddle with her at a time like this. Mrs. Cao could make her stay on the side of the road with a single word.

Mrs. Cao sighed, with reproach in her tone: "Not to mention Xidu, even the Kunshan clan has people who don't know the existence of Miss Liu, so how can they know so clearly the origin of her biological mother? As long as you don't Say, aside from filial piety, it's also recorded in the genealogy, as long as the sixth girl is virtuous and virtuous, and find a suitable family, why can't she be the main wife?"

"Mother means..." Xu Xiaozu really wanted to hear Cao's plan about this matter.

After all, this is the Western Capital, and the families of high-ranking officials and nobles must have several side rooms, and it is indeed unclear when they paid for it.The children born by them are not as good as those born by the first wife. As long as the requirements are not excessive and a suitable opportunity is found, there are many who are good or good to marry.

Xu Xiaozu remembered that Master Chen of the Ministry of War had a concubine daughter, who was married to the second son of a court official as his main wife, and this second son was also a concubine.Originally, I thought that I would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life, and I will see if I can get something else after we get separated in the future.But unexpectedly, the eldest son of the hall official died of a serious disease, and the second son of a concubine became the only son of the hall official and inherited the family business naturally.What's more coincidental is that when the official's boss was promoted, he was recommended to replace him, and the official's position gradually rose.

Now that official has joined the Ministry of Officials, and he is dedicated to his official career. He has not married to fill the house, so he has no new son.And the concubine who originally only wanted to marry a comfortable concubine became the head of the family and took charge of the inner courtyard.

"It's not easy. You pick a new rich man with no family background, prepare enough dowry, and then be nice to your new son-in-law, and let him remember your kindness. If he gets ahead in the future, it will naturally be yours." Help. If you are not in the top position, you can still be a rich man. Wouldn't it be nice to hear that Corporal Ding'an Hou Lixian is supporting your talented son-in-law?" Cao said with a smile.

Xu Jiaxing became more and more happy when she heard it. It turned out that she still wanted to replace Xu Jialan, but seeing Lin's posture, even if Xu Jialan died, she didn't even count on it.After hearing Cao's words, she felt that this was indeed a good way out.

As for risk, how many certain things can there be in this world?Take a gamble, if she wins, she will make money, if she loses, as long as she plans well, the result will not be too bad.

"Miss Six, tell yourself, are you afraid of enduring a few years of hard life?" Cao Shi looked at Xu Jiaxing with a smile.

"I'm not afraid, but I will listen to my grandmother and father's arrangement." Xu Jiaxing lowered her head, blushing.

"That's good, that's good, Xiao Zu, you've heard it all, so hurry up and make arrangements for her. I've been paying attention to Jia Tong's affairs, so I won't be left behind." Cao said with a smile.

After this meeting, Xu Xiaozu and Xu Jiaxing were the happiest, and Lin was the one who was so angry that he wanted to turn the table over, and Xu Jiatong was the most secure. He was happy when he should be happy for his sisters, and silent when he should be silent. Voice.

"Jiatong, what are you doing at home these days?" Cao asked suddenly after the dishes were removed.

Xu Jiatong said: "A few days ago I was busy with gambling at the palace gate, so I was weaving brocade and embroidering in the painting garden. I was free to look at the letters left by my mother. Later, the queen mother ordered me to go to the Wang family to help Miss Wang take care of the dowry. Madame asked me to take care of the dowry clothing, embroidery and a few embroiderers, and after they have been taken care of properly, it is time to enter the palace and wait for election."

"Hey, our Jiatong can go to Mrs. Wang's house to take care of the family." Cao looked at her happily, then turned to look at Lin and Xu Xiaozu, "I didn't say you, look, which family's son Didn't the eldest daughter learn how to be a housekeeper before she got married? It's a good name to spread, especially if she can afford the family business, it's easier to find a good husband, let alone..." Cao's gaze fell on Lin's side.

Xu Jiatong looked over and said considerately: "Grandmother, don't blame father and mother. I just came to Xidu, and I was busy with the palace gambling game and the Wang family's affairs before. They have intentions, but they can't arrange it."

Mrs. Cao snorted, looked at the two of them and said, "Filial Ancestor, I am not talking about you. There are still rules that should be there. Your current daughter-in-law is filling in the house, and her status has not been corrected. This family is at least Jiatong should be a part of it. If you ignore Jiatong so much, outsiders will not only say that you don't want to get married, but also say that you don't follow the rules and are not decent. Besides, my daughter-in-law is an offshoot of the Du family. Get up, you and Du Xiang can get close, and one day you will be caught out to talk about the matter, and you will say that you dare not even look down on the Du family."

"Isn't mother alarmist? Mrs. Du is only a relative of Mrs. Du." When Xu Xiaozu said this, he was a little bit lacking in confidence.

When a certain time comes, no matter how far this relative goes, he is still a relative, and it is not surprising at all to be talked about.This is like the minister who committed a serious crime in the previous dynasty and exterminated the nine clans. Not to mention distant relatives, even the handyman who brought water to the family was implicated.

One day, if Du Xiang didn't like him, someone around him would add embellishment and say that he ignored Du Shi and Xu Jiatong, which would definitely be brought up.

"Look at what you said, what's wrong with the next-of-kin? If our Jiatong has a good future in the future, can people like Du Xiang stop dating? Besides, if he ignores you, why don't you come to him? Jiatong is the one who has won the favor of the queen, he will let his wife and daughters get in touch with Jiatong if he ignores you." Cao Shi pointed out.

Xu Xiaozu was taken aback for a moment, Cao's few words made him suddenly understand, why didn't he think of it before.He was thinking about currying favor with the Yang family all day long, so why didn't he think about how to curry favor with Du Xiang, who still had something to do with him?

The Yang family has been thinking about how to become a prime minister all day long, but this position of "prime minister" is occupied by Du Xiang, and they don't know that they will retire in the year of the monkey. How can it be so easy for the Yang family to "enter"?
Xu Xiaozu slapped his forehead: "It's still my mother who is far-sighted, and I am confused, confused."

Cao took advantage of the situation and said, "I see that your daughter-in-law has to take care of the third girl recently, and it's not good to take care of this family matter for the time being. But I'm here, so you can rest assured that before Jiatong gets married, Jiatong and I will take care of it." , it looks good to outsiders."

Lin quit: "Mother, there are a lot of things at home, and the daughter-in-law has always taken care of them. You just came here and took over a lot of things rashly. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"You don't want to let go of Xiaozu's family, right? That's fine, if you want to take care of it, I used to be in Kunshan with Jiatong, and many things can be said to be chasing after rumors, but if people outside say that you treat me harshly And Jiatong, you are completely settled. What to do when the time comes, you can make up your own mind." Cao sneered.

In other people's homes, Mrs. Cao is in charge of the house, and if the daughter-in-law wants to move, she has to agree.In the past, she was in Kunshan, and it could be said that she was powerless to the outside world. After all, the two places were separated and she couldn't manage things.But now that she has come to Xidu, it is unreasonable to ignore her at all.

"Needless to say, you go back and tidy up, and hand over the keys to the account room to mother tomorrow." Xu Xiaozu called the butler Zhang outside to come in, "All the servants in the mansion are also brought to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai When you are in charge of the house, anyone who intentionally causes trouble to avoid laziness will not be lightly forgiven."

"Yes, the villain will do it now." Steward Zhang went vigorously.

Xu Xiaozu didn't do it this time for the sake of face, he thought a lot these days, this family is entrusted to the Lin family, it is not as good as it looks on the surface, and there are many crises hidden.

After all, Mrs. Cao is an elder and came out of the palace, so she can sort out the family style better.

And if the power to head the family falls to the side, Xu Xiaozu is not in a hurry, the family managers are all from him and the Lin family, if the Cao family refuses to let go, it will not be difficult to let her go.What's more, Mrs. Cao is an old man after all, how can she live longer than Mrs. Lin?
But Mrs. Lin didn't think so. As soon as Mrs. Cao took Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaxing away, Mrs. Lin immediately shed tears.

"Master, this concubine has worked hard for half of her life, and she has worked hard without any credit, but you have given the power to run the house to Mrs. Tai with a single sentence. How will you let my concubine gain a foothold in the mansion?" Lin really felt that she had Blind, seeing the wrong person.
