88. Xue family
Jiafu, when the news came from the palace, everyone was very surprised.
When Jia Yu heard that the second concubine was in place, he drank three white whites in a row: "Okay!" Good! In this way, the power of our Jia Mansion has grown again, and more people will surely join our camp. "At the beginning, I used the provincial relatives as a gimmick, and everyone knew that Jiafu was the mother of the second concubine. Now that the second concubine is favored, more people will show favor to Jiafu.
Moreover, Situ Yun's promotion of Jia Lian made people see the hope of Jiafu Zhongxing.
"Second room? There is no one in the second room who is promising, counting on Baoyu? Jia Yu laughed darkly. He is good to Baoyu, he gives whatever he wants, and he looks like a good uncle, but he has secretly slowly raised Baoyu. Looking back, Baoyu can compare with his own Jia Lian?
Joke!
Jia Yu hummed a song and watched a play at home, while Jia Lian was out drinking with a group of friends.
A person has a circle of people. If Jia Lian's bet failed, and now he is disheartened and passes the time with wine, then Jia Lian has no one to care about, and he will find a group of fox friends and dog friends to have fun.
And now that Jia Lian has won a big victory, Jia Lian's friends are not those drinking friends in the Red Mansion, but the sons of Situ Yun's ministers from Long.
Everyone is a young person, and they are all loyal supporters of Situ Yun's family.
Everyone invited Jia Lian to drink, and congratulated him on his promotion, and everyone talked about the next step in the DPRK-China pattern.
"Now that the East Palace is a prince, the Emperor Taishang is constantly delegating power to His Majesty, and it is no surprise that one of the six should be conceded."
A boy who waved a folding fan seemed to smile: "The military department is a matter of importance, and the management officials of the ministry are transferred, and it is impossible for these two departments to be given up lightly." As the money bag of the imperial court, the emperor will never let go. ”
"So, it should be the Criminal Department or the Ministry of Industry?" Another prince tentatively questioned the son of the Ministry of Rites.
Yang Gongzi smiled and said nothing, and turned to talk about Jia Lian's errand: "Those imperial historians on the side of the Imperial History Tower, because the prince will definitely not contradict His Majesty again after he takes the throne. Brother Jia Lian's future life will be much easier. ”
During this time, Jia Lian, as the emperor, was often troubled by those people. However, Jia Lian is sleek and has the support of Jiafu, so he finally persevered. In the future, the imperial power will be stable, and his position will only become more and more important.
After drinking with his friends, Jia Lian was a little drunk, and was intercepted by Wei Ying on the way back.
Hongchun passed Wei Qian's words to Jia Mei in the name of going out of the palace to procure. Jia Mei had the intention to sharpen Wei Ying and let him take care of this matter.
Wei Ying went to Jia Lian first, suggesting that he went to Xue Pan in addition to the profitability of the Ministry of Industry.
"Ministry of Works?" Jia Lian sobered up a little and went home to discuss with Jia Yu.
Jia Yu is an idler, but with the title in his body, he naturally has a voice in the court.
Hearing what Jia Lian said, Jia Yu's eyes flickered, and he thought of a funny thing: "Your second uncle is in the Ministry of Industry, even if there is a daughter in the palace, she is only a fourth-grade official." Hehe, your grandmother was so optimistic about him that she thought he was better than your father. Now you let the world take a good look at his roots. He is a fourth-grade official, and as a father, he will help you sit in the Ministry of Works. No, the position of the Ministry of Works! ”
Jia Yu moved his mind, and when he turned around, he went to discuss with the staff how to transfer Jia Lian from the Yushitai to the Ministry of Industry. According to Jia Lian's current official position, if he is transferred at the same level, he should be on par with Jia Zheng.
Thinking of the face of the second room, Jia Yu became more and more excited......
In the second room, because of Yuan Chun's advancement, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were shaded.
Jia Zheng stiffened his face, said a few words about the scene, and then went against a group of diners chanting poems.
And Mrs. Wang herself wept in the room: "My son entered the palace at a young age, and now he has experienced all kinds of hardships, and he has finally survived!" Mixed with joy and sorrow, Mrs. Wang took Caiyun's hand and recalled what happened when Yuan Chun was a child.
Now that Yuan Chun is a concubine, and there is a princess by her side, it shows her honor. As long as she doesn't do anything overstepping, nothing will happen in the future. Prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime, as a mother, Mrs. Wang is completely relieved.
"Madame said yes, but ......" Caiyun blinked: "What should I do about the affairs of the Xue family?" ”
"The Xue family?" Madame Wang groaned. Although Jia Yu paid for the construction of the Grand View Garden, Mrs. Wang also subsidized a lot for her daughter, and borrowed the Xue family's silver from her sister by the way.
The Xue family has a request for others and wants Xue Baochai to participate in the draft. However, Mrs. Wang was selfish and refused to let Xue Baochai enter the palace to share Bo Yuanchun's favor, so she shirked left and right.
"The old rules, keep dragging." Mrs. Wang paused and said, "But you turned around and hinted to Baochai and asked her to walk around Baoyu more." ”
Mrs. Wang didn't want Xue Baochai to enter the palace, and her other thought was for her son. Compared with Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Wang obviously prefers her niece.
"Baoyu marries Baochai, and I will be relieved in the future." Madame Wang sighed lightly, although she was convinced that her son would have a great future in the future. But after all, the second room was born, and when the old lady leaves, the two rooms will be separated, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the second room to get anything from the house. If Baoyu marries Xue Baochai, he can at least get funding from the Xue family.
In the small courtyard of the Xue family, Mrs. Xue didn't know her sister's calculations, and after learning that Yuan Chun was on the throne, she said to Xue Baochai: "Your eldest sister is now in the throne, and she wants to come to the palace to be in the limelight, and it is more convenient for you to enter the palace." ”
Xue Baochai's face changed, she was smarter than her own mother, and she heard the hints when she was married in Yuanchun. It is clear that she and Jia Baoyu are matched. And on Lin Daiyu's side, it seems that Concubine Ning also has the backing of Concubine Ning.
Although Concubine Ning's current grade is not as good as Concubine Shu, she is also favored, and she can't see any difference, so it's not difficult to toss her.
Baochai smiled reluctantly: "Big sister, I'm afraid it's too late for my own pet, how can I help my daughter enter the palace." And entering the palace is not a good thing, and the daughter just wants to use her status as a female official to make her husband's family look up to her in the future. After all, Jiafu is a wealthy family, and her daughter is a businessman after all. ”
As he spoke, Baochai looked sad. This is the biggest gap between her and Lin Daiyu. The identity is there, and Lin Daiyu's father is still alive, Xue Baochai has little chance.
"It's all your brother's fault for hurting you, otherwise my son can be a concubine!" Mrs. Xue couldn't help but sigh when she thought of that incident back then.
At the beginning, the Baochai draft was a sure thing. The family went to Beijing for this purpose. But with Situ Yun's ascension, the draft was repeatedly delayed, and Baochai had to wait obediently for the palace to speak. Moreover, Xue Pan offended a certain prince in the capital, and the prince cut off Baochai's draft road with hatred and ordered her name to be removed from the roster.
The Xue family is only an imperial businessman, and he was not a person from Situ Yun's power at the beginning, so he was kneaded by a prince, even if it was Jiafu, he only saved their lives and kept the position of the imperial businessman, but he said that he could not do anything about Baochai's affairs.
At this time, Xue Pan came back and hummed a song to the two: "Mother, pack up for my sister, and let my sister prepare for the draft in a few days." ”
"Draft?" The mother and daughter of the Xue family were surprised, wasn't Xue Baochai's name eliminated?
Mrs. Xue's heart moved: "Could it be that the eldest sister was favored and helped Baochai?" ”
"No, it's the one from Yongfu Palace who spoke." Xue Pan's face was complicated, after all, he had pursued that one in the past.
Dispelling the thoughts in his heart, he said to the two: "I just met the young master of the Wei family, he made a deal with his son, and spent eight thousand taels to help his sister fill in the name again. ”
"Concubine Ning?" Baochai thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "My brother is wrong in this step, the one who helped me enter the palace was not for money, but wanted to take the opportunity to bring me into the palace, so that Daiyu and Baoyu could be together." ”
"But...... I took this favor. In the future, I will enter the palace and fight for the identity of a female official. I don't think much of the Lin family's girl! Xue Baochai only knows that his identity is not enough, so he simply learns the road of Weiqian, and works hard to fight for a future!
