12. The twelfth question: For details, Jia's mother wants to expand the mansion and Jia pardon the ultimatum
As soon as Yu Wenhu returned to the palace, he ordered someone to find out what Jia Yu had done recently. The news came back quickly, but the detailed information of the meal had already been placed in front of Yu Wenhu.
This is not because the efficiency of the people in the Su Wangfu is amazing, but because the prince of his family has ordered people to pay attention to the Rongguo Mansion and Jia Yu, and now he just sorts out the information and takes it over, which is naturally very fast.
"An unprecedented, extraordinary body forging technique...... Fast-setting, durable building materials...... Handmade, easy-to-use lighter ......" Yu Wenhu groaned as he twisted a few pieces of paper, inexplicably surprised in his heart. Is it really like he said, he was scolded and woke up in a dream? Yu Wenhu didn't believe this, and couldn't help but have the idea of finding out.
But the old man didn't know that he had been remembered by the little bamboo horse back then, so he came to Rongqing Hall with high spirits and was ready to fight a tough battle.
In Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng and his wife were talking, talking about what happened in Chaohe today. They all knew that Jia Yu had been a companion, but after so many years, they had long forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, Jia Yu was just a little opportunistic, and he won the favor of the old sage again.
"The old lady called me, but what's the matter?" After the ceremony, Jia Yu found a chair to sit down at random, and asked with tea. It's not that he doesn't want to get closer to Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife occupy the two chairs on the left, and he can't sit under his younger brother as an elder brother.
Mother Jia was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, but she didn't say anything in the end, but said angrily, "How can you talk, it's okay, I'm a mother, I can't ask you to talk?" ”
"Naturally, there is nothing that can't be done, what the old lady wants to say, I'll accompany you to talk about it." The eldest man pretended to raise his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled: "I have always only treated the old lady as not liking to look at my face, and since the old lady does not bother me, I am naturally willing to please the old lady." If I come to work hard in the future, the old lady will not be annoyed with me. ”
Since Mother Jia wants to make a scene of mother's love and filial piety, Master Yu is naturally willing to cooperate. As for what the two of them think in their hearts, then everyone knows their own affairs.
"At my age, the more lively the better. I'm just afraid that you will dislike me and nag me all the time, and you don't want to accompany me to talk to an old woman. Jia Mu covered the corners of her twitching mouth with a handkerchief, sighed and changed the topic, and said: "When you enter the palace to worship today, you are in the Taihe Palace, tell us if there is anything new." I heard that the old sage called you for questioning, but is it true? ”
Thinking that she was going to ask this, the eldest master did not hide it, and told him about the lighter, and said: "There is a craftsman in my Zhuangzi who specializes in studying strange objects. It's not a novelty, I thought I could please the saint, and yesterday I made the decision to add it to the New Year's gift of the court. Unexpectedly, it really made the saint ask. ”
"Oh, that's it. You said you were too, why didn't you say it in advance. If there is such a good thing, it is natural to plan and plan it well, and send it in with the New Year's gift like this, in case the old sage doesn't see it, wouldn't it bury the good thing. Fortunately, this thing has been done, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be in vain to blind the lighter. Jia Mu said with a look of disapproval.
Her heart was full of regrets, Zheng'er was on an errand in the Ministry of Industry, if this thing was offered by him, it would be in line with his identity. Maybe it can go up a liter.
Speaking of which, Jia's mother was also heartbroken for her youngest son's official position. From the beginning of the entry is the sixth product, according to this. The point is not low, even if the first official of the champion Lang is only from the sixth grade. However, her Zheng'er sat on the sixth-grade official and didn't seem to plan to move her nest, and ten years passed in a flash, and she was promoted from the fifth rank until last year, which is really sad for her old man!
"Next time, if there is such a thing again, you should also talk to Zheng'er. He has been working in the Ministry of Engineering for many years, and he is very familiar with these clever things, and he will definitely be able to give you some suggestions and improvements. The things dedicated to the palace should be kept improving. Jia Mu eased her face and said, "By the way, your skillful craftsman is rewarded?" Why don't you let Zheng'er take him to the Ministry of Industry? ”
Master Pardon hooked the corners of his mouth, and really wanted to laugh, this is finally to the point.
"The second child has always been a general officer, and in addition to going to the Ministry of Industry every day, he is talking to Qingke. I didn't know that he had studied such strange and ingenious things. Okay, second child, I'll bring the craftsman tomorrow, and you can talk about it, maybe...... Hehe, is it good for each other? ”
When he said this, the second master of Zheng's face was gloomy, and he turned his face away very unhappily. Unexpectedly, he was a glorious scholar and a low. It is a great shame to compare cheap craftsmen. If it weren't for his brother who said this, he was a filial and polite person, so he had to slap him in the face.
Mother Jia was not happy when she heard this, she said that just to seek some benefits for her younger son, but she didn't mean to let him talk to a craftsman. That's it, in the future, just keep an eye on the boss and the two of them, and if you have benefits, you can't all be occupied by them. In addition, there is one more thing......
"I heard that the old sage said a few words to you, how did you deal with it, did you talk nonsense without any inhibitions? I've only heard about it, and I've been hanging on my heart, I'm afraid that you, with your unstingy temperament, will talk nonsense in front of the old sage, and make the saint unhappy but don't know it. Tell me, what did the old sage ask you? "This is what Jia Mu is more concerned about.
Since the death of her man, the holy grace of Rongguo Mansion has been worse every year, and no one in the mansion can speak in front of the old saint. If Jia Yu can enter the eyes of the saint, this is also an opportunity for Rongguo Mansion, and it will inevitably be promoted to Zheng'er. With the excellence of her political son, as long as she enters the eyes of the saint, she is naturally much stronger than Jia Yu, and I am afraid that there is no chance to soar? !
The other is Baoyu, he is a great creation, if he can enter the eyes of the royal family and be a prince to read or something, he will have a promising future in the future.
Master Pardon was admiring the humiliated face of the second political elder, and when he saw his eyes glowing, he heard Jia's mother's words. He smiled, his eyes swept over the faces of Jia's mother and Jia Zheng and his wife, "There is no need for a woman's family to ask about men's affairs. After. The palace still has rules that prohibit political interference, why doesn't the old lady know to avoid it? As for the second child, when will you be qualified to step into the Taihe Palace, come and ask me about it again. ”
After that, the eldest man still looked at them with a smile, admiring the process of the three faces from white to green, and then from green to black. Well, sure enough, when he saw that they were not happy, he felt a sense of joy spontaneously arise from the master.
"You don't know what to do!" Jia Mu finally couldn't hold back her temper, scolded with her eyes, pointed at Jia Yu and said, "I'm just worried about you, since you say so, I will never ask about you in the future." Whether you are a supreme minister, or lose your official position, I will see what you can toss into. Come on, you go, I can't accommodate a great god like you here, don't wronged you. ”
Jia Zheng's face is not good-looking, his official position is too low has always been a problem in his heart, and at this moment, when the brother who has been looked down on him talks about his face, he is angry, hateful and jealous in his heart. Cut, but Meng Zuyin got a first-class title, and he didn't get it by ability, and he only regarded him as an honor. If he were the eldest son, hum......
"Look, I really don't please people, but I'm just telling the truth, and I have made the old lady unhappy, it's not mine. It seems that in the future, I will go to the old lady less, so as not to relieve your boredom and make you depressed. The old man looked ashamed and examined himself very sincerely.
Seeing that Jia's mother didn't look at him with a gloomy face, Jia Yu said to Jia Yu again: "Since I have come today, I have to tell everything about it, and I don't have to come again to please the old lady." The courtyard on my side is not in harmony with the general's regulations, so I have decided to expand it. The second child's outer study, the east courtyard and the guest courtyard will all be occupied, when do you see when you will vacate it for me? ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of the three people, and they couldn't care about getting angry anymore, and they all looked at Jia Yu.
"What are you messing around again?" The first to speak was Jia Mu, she frowned and rubbed the corners of her forehead, "What do you do to repair it in a good yard, what regulations are not regulated, and the regulations of Rongguo Mansion are not worthy of your first-class general?" is so hard for the people and money, are you not afraid of being included in the imperial history? There are only two or three masters over there, how big a yard do you have to live? ”
Jia Yu saw that she didn't mention Jia Zheng, but he didn't plan to let it go, "Rongguo Mansion? Guogong Mansion, naturally I don't deserve it, so I didn't live in Rongxi Hall. I'm just trying to make my mansion conform to the rules of the imperial court, so why should the imperial history join me? If there is really any imperial history who dares to participate in me, then I will argue with him and ask him why he didn't participate in the five or six petty officials who lived in the main hall of the Guogong Mansion? Do you say, dick? ”
"What did the eldest brother say, I live in Rongxi Hall in this room, but because of the old lady's will, in order to take care of the old lady nearby. I am also a person who knows etiquette and abides by the law, how can I knowingly commit a crime, it is really difficult for my father to do it. The eldest brother should also know about this, how can he say such a thing now. Could it be that the eldest brother has always been dissatisfied with the old lady's death? ”
The face of the second master is very ugly, his tone is old-fashioned and stiff, and the fierce rise and fall of his chest shows how angry he is. Why do you want him to make room, Rongxi Hall was given to him by his father and his mother, and he lived in it because of filial piety.
Master Pardon stared at him coldly, and his voice became cold, "Didn't I tell you to move out of Rongxi Hall yet, are you more secure for this crime?" I want to repair the courtyard, so naturally I don't have the idea of fighting the Rongxi Hall. But if you have to find something awkward with me, then we have to break it up, whether it is the national law or the family law. You tell me? ”
He sneered at the silent three, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll just inform you about this matter, and I don't plan to discuss it with you." Anyway, after fifteen I will start building a house, and if you don't make room for me, it doesn't matter, I can just demolish it. ”
