Chapter 14 Since ancient times, Houmen has been as deep as the sea

"This capital is really prosperous, the population is prosperous, and the market is lively, which is higher than our Jinling." Hongchun sat in the carriage and secretly lifted the curtain to spy outside.

When Huang Yang saw it, he stretched out his hand to hold it, shook his head slightly, and glanced at Jia Mei's woman from the corner of his eye.

In front of the master's mother, dare to be so unruly?

Hongchun stuck out her tongue, didn't dare to speak more, and sat straight next to Wei Qian.

Wei Qian secretly smeared the potpourri dew, and was refining her eyes according to the secret technique of Lingyun, closing her eyes and pretending to take a nap. However, when Jia Mei heard Hongchun's words, she couldn't help but look out the window. "Yes, this Chang'an is indeed prosperous. It's more lively than the last time I came back, which shows that today is Shengde Mingjun, and this Lihe year name is good. ”

Jia Mei was worried about her biological mother, worried about returning to Jiafu, and her eyes fell on the window.

On the street of Rongning, after passing the gate of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Mei came back to her senses, and it didn't take long to see the big stone lion at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"Ahh

She opened her eyes according to the Lingyun and directly saw the two big stone lions lying on their stomachs outside the Rongguo Mansion.

Wisps of green qi fell into the lion's body from above, and the two lions stared in all directions like living creatures, guarding the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Following Wei Qian's gaze, the stone lion turned its head to look at Wei Qian as if it had a spirit.

Suddenly, Wei Qian was terrified and understood why Xuanyun refused to let her open her eyes early.

When you see the other person, of course the other person can see you.

Fortunately, this stone lion is not an evil spirit, just a stone statue of a divine beast guarding the Rongguo Mansion. Feeling the Jia family's bloodline on Wei Qian's body, he didn't pay attention to it again.

Wei Qian broke out in a cold sweat, and was so frightened that Hongchun next to him hurriedly asked: "Miss, but you are not used to the water and soil?" Would you like something to eat? ”

"No, you don't." Reluctantly smiling, Wei Qian thought in her heart. I don't see any movement in the stone lion at the gate of Ning Guofu, could it be that there is any mystery in this?

"Auntie, it's here." Outside the carriage, Jia Lian came to invite.

"I'm fine, you go to the old sister of the Wang family and invite them down." Jia Mei got out of the car by herself, and Dailan, Huangyang, and Hongchun also followed, and finally Wei Qian landed under the support of everyone.

The three gates of Rongguo Mansion are all open, and there are constantly guests coming and going.

At this time, Jia Lian invited the three daughters of the Wang family in the carriage behind.

Wang Ziteng's wife is not the first time to come, seeing those doormen, she smiled and said to Wang Xifeng's mother and daughter: "Look, this is the serious door of the national government." ”

Now Ning Rong's Second Mansion no longer has the weather of the past, but as long as Jia Daishan is still there, outsiders must also take a look at Rongguo Mansion. Even if it's just Jia Yu's renewal, this pomp is not inferior to those powerful people's first marriages.

"The wedding banquet is still three days away, and it is already so lively at this time."

Three carriages stopped at the door, and a man in a blue riding coat immediately ran out of it.

Lin Zhixiao came to report to Jia Lian first: "Son, the uncle said, now there are guests on the side of Rongxi Hall, let you take the ladies to the East Courtyard first." ”

Then, Lin Zhixiao saluted Jia Mei and stood next to Jia Lian.

"Guests? Who is it from? Jia Mei glanced at the sedan chairs parked next to her and recognized the sign on the sedan chairs: "Is it Nan'an Palace?" ”

"Exactly."

The four kings and eight princes are all powerful people of the opening dynasty, and Jia Mei knew that Jia Shi's family would inevitably accompany her relatives at this time, so she took the initiative to take the Wang family from the East Corner Gate to Jia Yu's side.

Now Jia Daishan and his wife live in Rongxi Hall, Jia Yu is in the east courtyard, and Jia Zheng's family is in the west. Jia Mei has a bad relationship with the second room, and she will not take the Wang family to the west.

The corners of the two Mrs. Wang's mouths stiffened, and it was hard to say that they were going to find the Jia Wang family. In addition, Mrs. Wang Zisheng also wanted to arrange Wang Xifeng's marriage, so she followed Jia Mei to the big house.

Seeing that the layout on Jia Yu's side was a little messy, Jia Mei frowned secretly: In the end, there is no serious master, and the eldest brother really needs someone to take care of it.

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Jia Mei didn't want to see those concubines, so she instructed Lin Zhixiao: "Someone from Nan'an Wangfu is coming, presumably my mother and brother are seeing guests, I don't know where the second sister-in-law is now?" The relatives of the Wang family have arrived, why should she come over to entertain her? ”

When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he hurriedly went to the second room to report.

At this time, Mrs. Wang came out of the Buddha hall and came to pick up people when she received the news.

When the concubines met, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Wei Qian stood on the side, listening to Mrs. Wang and Jia Mei reminiscing about each other, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although the two of them were smiling, their tongues were secretly intertwined, and even Wang Xifeng felt that something was wrong.

The two ladies of the Wang family looked wrong, and took the initiative to divert the topic, Mrs. Wang Ziteng said: "Sister, I am waiting for the carriage and horses, and my sister has a headache all the way, so let's find a place to settle down and rest." ”

Jia Mei had a good relationship with her sister-in-law back then, and when her sister-in-law was in charge of the family, she didn't give Jia Wang's face a lot. Now it is normal for the relationship between the two to be not harmonious. But Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng's wife are the daughters-in-law of the serious Wang family, and they are the backers of the Jia Wang family in Jiafu, and they don't give Jia Mei general insight after listening to the words of the two sisters-in-law.

simply said to Jia Mei: "Lian'er sent someone to bring the news a few days ago, and the residence was prepared early. The two sisters-in-law don't need to go to the capital courtyard, the second room has already been cleaned up. As for my sister......" Jia Wang sneered, his eyes fell on Wei Qian, and then said: "There are many concubines here uncle, presumably my sister will not let her niece mix with those sluts." ”

Jia Mei's face changed, how could she not hear that this was a secret sarcasm that she was a concubine in a lowly life?

"When my grandmother's yard was vacant, my mother asked her to clean it up two days ago, and my sister and niece lived in it." Jia Wang's look like a businessman: "By the way, do you want to take your sister to the South Courtyard?" ”

"No need, I know the way!" Jia Mei said coldly.

"Then sister is free." Jia Wang then left with the Wang family.

Before leaving, Wang Xifeng secretly glanced at Wei Qian, and Wei Qian shook her head slightly, indicating that it was okay.

Wang Xifeng and Wei Qian have been friends for many years, and as soon as they met, Jia Wang's targeted his close friend, making Wang Xifeng have a bad impression of this aunt at the first time. When the seeds are planted, are you worried that there will be no chance to germinate in the future?

When the Wang family left, Jia Mei instructed Lin Zhixiao: "Where is your family?" I don't have anyone here, you let her come. ”

Lin Zhixiao nodded again and again, found his own family, and took Jia Mei to the courtyard where his grandmother lived.

The houses of Rongguo Mansion are naturally the best in Rongxi Hall. At that time, Jia Mei's grandmother also lived here as the head of the house, and Jia Yu grew up in Rongxi Hall since she was a child. Jia Mei followed the light, which was stronger than her two sisters. But his grandmother seems to have built a Buddhist hall in the southern courtyard to hide from the quiet, and sometimes went there for a few days.

Now that Jia Shi lives in Rongxi Hall, he naturally won't let Jia Mei live by his side. So I sent him to the Chaoyin Temple built by his grandmother.

"Chaoyin Cave?" When Wei Qian saw the plaque in the courtyard, she suddenly had an association.

"Yes, my grandmother believed in Buddhism, so she built this courtyard back then."

Walking into the courtyard and looking at the cold courtyard, Jia Mei sneered: "See, this is the intention to fix me!" ”

Chaoyin Temple has been uninhabited for many years, and even the small Buddha hall here has been sealed for many years. Except for an old locust in the yard, there were no other plants.

After turning around, Wei Qian said: "It's finally cleaned, otherwise this yard has been uninhabited for many years, overgrown with wild grass, and the old locust leaves are falling, it should be full of yellow leaves." ”

"Big brother must have people clean it every day." Jia Mei came to the Buddhist hall on the side. Through the window, I saw that there was no trace of Guanyin inside, and said to Wei Qian: "This white jade Guanyin was originally enshrined here, and it was invited by my grandmother from outside. Now it seems that it must have been taken away by your second aunt. ”

However, whether it is the Buddhist hall or the main house, they have all been well cleaned. There are a lot of tea sets, porcelain, curtains, and mattresses.

"I have a good relationship with my grandmother, so it was only natural for me to live here. Can it be said that it makes me miss my grandmother, and I think it was my mother's handiwork? After Jia Mei saw it, she told Dai Lan and the three of them to clean up the house.

Jia Mei pulled Wei Qian to sit on the stone bench under Lao Huai: "Can you write down what you said on the way?" ”

"Write it down, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and my daughter knows."

Rongguo Mansion is not Wei Mansion in the end. In Weifu, Jia Mei is in charge, and when she arrives at Rongguo Mansion, she must bow her head and be small, after all, Jia Mei's biological mother is still in Jia's mother's hands.

If Jia Mei makes a slight mistake or omission, Jia Shishi will not be angry with her at that time, but she can find her mother to be unlucky.

"You also saw the situation in Jiafu just now, and your uncle has no personal housekeeper over there, just your uncle and your cousin, so your second uncle and mother are in charge of the housework."

Jia Mei sneered: "I have had a discordant relationship with your second aunt since I hit the boudoir, and at this time, she will definitely find us bad luck when she is housekeeper." ”

"After all, my mother and I are the Wei family, how else can she get it?" Wei Qian disagreed: "We just came to celebrate my uncle's remarriage, could it be that she can kick us out?" ”

But no, now that Jia Daishan is sick, he is also the head of the family. There is no room for a woman to dominate Jiafu.

"Naturally, I won't worry that they will deprive us of food and clothing, but your marriage will inevitably be attacked by them." Jia Mei still doesn't know Jia Wang's family?

Seize the opportunity, won't you use Wei Qian's marriage to stab them a few words?

"Just bear with it then, anyway, we won't live in Jiafu for long." Jia Mei's expression was faint: "Don't make trouble for your grandmother." ”

This grandmother is naturally not Jia Shi, but Jia Mei's biological mother, Aunt He. Because of the birth of Jia Mei, she also has a foothold in Jiafu. But after all, Jia Mei is far away in Jinling, and she can't reach her mother, how can she rely on Jia Daishan alone?

Therefore, Jia Meicai has been in contact with Jia Yu, and she also has the intention of letting Jia Yu take care of her mother.

Of course, Jia Yu is Jia Shi's own son after all, and it is impossible to expect him to help Aunt He deal with Jia Shishi. can only rely on him, don't let Aunt He be treated poorly.

Therefore, Jia Mei was not willing to return to Jiafu at all. If it weren't for the reason, she would have the heart to take Aunt He away.

Wei Qian has been sensible since she was a child, and she understands that Jia Mei's biggest scruple in Jiafu is Aunt He, so she nodded again and again: "My daughter knows." ”

After settling down, Jia Wang's clan rushed over again.

"I was busy dealing with the old relatives of the Wang family just now, and I treated my sister lightly, presumably my sister won't be angry, right?" Jia Wang led a team of people. In addition to Zhou Rui's family, there are eight maidservants, all of whom are gorgeously dressed. After Wei Qian looked at it, she compared with Hongchun and the others around her, and smiled bitterly in her heart: This Jia Mansion is really luxurious!

Those first-class maids are not inferior to the young ladies of low-level official eunuchs.

Jia Wang's Buddha face was black-hearted, Jia Mei had already understood it, and then dealt with it a few words, and suddenly Jia Wang's eyes fell on Wei Qian: "Presumably this is the niece, right?" I didn't pay attention to it with Feng Yatou just now, but when I looked at it alone, it was really a beautiful embryo. ”

Wang Xifeng came to Jiafu to be anxious to show Xiàn, dressed up in a natural and luxurious atmosphere, while Wei Qian's hair cultivation was just a small green skirt, and Jia Mei's red stacked skirt embroidered with roses was the same style, with some grass and swallows simply embroidered on it.

"It's so plain." Jia Wang's lips smacked: "I happen to have two red cloths here, I am too bright to wear, or these little girls are just right to wear." What are we doing in those scarlet clothes and pretending to be tender? ”

Jia Mei had a dark face, and naturally heard that Jia Wang's finger was scolding Huai.

"Don't bother with my aunt." Wei Qian smiled lightly and said with a humble smile: "My nephew has always been used to dressing plainly, and the sudden change is really uncomfortable. I heard that Jia Zhu's cousin is now at the age of blind date, so it is better for his aunt to keep it, but it is better to make a meeting gift for his cousin-in-law. ”

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Wei Qian threw the topic away, and Jia Mei immediately reacted: "Speaking of which, how is Jia Zhu's marriage?" Mother is also old these years, or is your mother bothering a lot, but if you can't do it, you can let the sister-in-law of the eldest brother continue to help each other? ”

At the mention of Jia Yu's continuation, Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly burst. If you say who in Jia's mansion doesn't like Jia Yu the most, Mrs. Wang said that no one dares to say two.

If there is a difficult one to deal with, who will the stewardship be handed over to at that time? Moreover, if there is no signboard of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu in the second room wants to go on a blind date, and the grade is different.

"By the way, the second brother is still in the Ministry of Industry?" What to say, mentioning Jia Zheng's official products, looking at his own five-grade fate, Jia Wang's family looked at the triumphant Jia Mei angrily.

No matter how bad it is, Wei Yan gave Jia Mei a three-grade fate!

"Your second brother is just like that, where can he compare to his sister." After Jia Wang's anger was extreme, he regained his smile and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my sister's life is good, and my brother-in-law is rising step by step on the line of the Huang family, but this marriage of my niece is ......."

Seeing that Jia Wang's family really poked Wei Qian's marriage, Jia Mei's face sank.

Everyone has reverse scales, and this Wei Qian, like Aunt He, is the two most important people in Jia Mei, of course, Wei Ying must be added now.

"Look at what my sister-in-law said, is it possible that my sister-in-law is going to show Qian'er another good person?" Suddenly, a soft female voice sounded not far away, and Wei Qian looked up and her eyes lit up.

I saw that the man was beautiful and refined, with his hair in a high bun, and there was a sense of wisdom between his eyebrows.

Jia Min wore a gold silk pleated skirt and walked over with a fragrant fan.

looked at Jia Wang's family with a smile: "If my sister-in-law is so worried about Qian'er, why don't you find a lover for her from the Wang family?" ”

Jia Yu continued, and Jia Min also rushed back from the south, and came back with Jia Mei.

Although the relationship between the two sisters is not harmonious, their dislike for the Jia Wang family is even heavier. At this moment, they looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them used words to squeeze the Jia Wang family.

Jia Mei said: "I just came back, and I haven't had time to see my father yet, and it's not good to mention this matter to my father." Since my sister-in-law has a heart, why don't I mention it to my father and let my father come forward to break off the marriage contract? ”

Who is Jia Daishan, if he really tells him about it, where is it not clear that Jia Wang's family is ridiculing Jia Mei?

"I heard that my brother-in-law is now officially listed as a third-grade? I want to congratulate Sister Sheng, if my brother-in-law can fight for you in the future, my sister will not forget that my sister is. ”

"My sister is not bad, Brother-in-law Lin is now receiving the Holy Grace, and the future is bright, and I still point to you to carry it."

Both of them have three orders on their bodies, and when Jia Wang saw the two talking about their husbands, they thought about Jia Zheng again, and secretly bit a mouthful of silver teeth and swallowed it into their stomachs.

Jia Mei and Jia Min talked and laughed, although the two did not get along for a while, but now the husband's family is in the south, Yangzhou and Jinling are not far away, and there may be the possibility of joining hands in the officialdom at that time.

No matter how big the contradiction is when you were a child, aren't you still your own people outside?

The two reached a tacit understanding, and you and I directly made Jia Wang's anger away.
