Chapter Twenty-Seven: Calculations
The little couple in the Wushuang Pavilion talked for a while, Qin Ruixi felt sleepy, Jing Wushuang asked Mother Hu to guard him to bed, and she led Su Fang to the main courtyard again.
Before she went to the main courtyard, Wei Yuanhou Zheng made an exception and entered the bedroom with Jia during the day, but the situation in the house and the ambiguous suspicions of the maids were completely two extremes. In recent years, the Jia family, who has accumulated a lot of power, is kneeling at the feet of Weiyuan Hou, holding his calves and crying lowly, this is also the second time in just three days that Jia has so humbly prayed for Weiyuan Hou to calm his anger.
Before, Wei Yuanhou scolded Jing Shuangxue too much in front of Cheng Zhiheng, but now that there are no outsiders in the house, he has no scruples, and his gentle and good appearance on weekdays has already been thrown to the sky, and he dragged Jia Shi two or three steps with a red face, "How do you say you are so confused!" There is no impermeable wall in the world, and some people in the yamen have faintly accused me of mistreating my brother's orphans in the past few days. Do you know that now Master Guo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is the eldest brother's teacher, but whenever he hears the slightest clue, I don't want to take another step. ”
Wei Yuanhou has never wanted to talk to the Jia family about the major affairs of the imperial court, but now he knows that if he doesn't say it, the two of them will be confused one after another, and they don't know how much they will hurt him.
"Master Hou, is it really so strict?" When the daughter and niece did not return to the door, Jia felt that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was happy everywhere, but today she did not feel this anger in her heart, first the daughter told her that she was greedy for her niece's dowry, and the peony garden was destroyed, and then her husband came back with a cold face, and now she heard him say that he may have no hope of promotion in the future, as a woman in the back house, she couldn't help but tremble with fright, and finally couldn't help crying after asking a sentence.
"Now, the most important thing is to appease Wushuang first, don't let her pursue this matter again, and compensate you more if she can compensate for it. Sue her, only the mayor of the Hou Mansion of Weiyuan is prosperous, and she, the head of the Hou Mansion, is decent when she is outside. Seeing his wife crying miserably, Jing Huatai's anger disappeared a little.
After Jia's love was stabilized, the couple sat side by side on the chairs in the room again, took a sip of the tea handed by Jia, and looked at her gentle appearance with low eyebrows, Jing Huatai sighed secretly in his heart, "You have done a good job, don't kneel and cry when you encounter anything in the future, where is the atmospheric appearance of Mrs. Houfu." ”
Hearing this, Jia Shi quickly glanced at her husband, "It's just that I'll lose my temper in front of you, and I don't care about others." ”
In recent years, the Jia family has wanted to maintain the dignity of Mrs. Houfu, Jing Huatai has rarely seen her so coquettish, her heart moved, dragged her hand to hold it, and changed the topic, "What happened to those peonies I asked you to raise before?" Take advantage of the two days before the Guanyin Temple Fair to invite a few good ladies and ladies to come to the house to play, and settle Xiaochen's family affairs as soon as possible. ”
Speaking of peonies, Jia's distressed feeling came up again, "Master, don't you know how hateful that fool of the Qin family is, he actually ruined my peony garden and ruined the famous plants you gave me!" ”
"What?" Jing Huatai couldn't help but squeeze his hand heavily, and Jia Shi screamed in pain and tears fell out again. Jing Huatai ignored her and directly shook her hand away, "It's not a good thing you did on your own!" ”
"Master Hou, what are you doing with so much force? I'm afraid my hands are dislocated. Jia Shi inhaled in pain, and couldn't help but complain about Jing Huatai, "Why does Master Hou seem to be more nervous than me about those peonies!" "Jia's father served in Yizhou, the hometown of peony, Jia's love of peonies since he was a child, and after marrying in the capital, there are several mountains on it, even if he wants to raise peonies, he can only make a small fuss in his own yard; After being Mrs. Houfu, she had to be busy with a bunch of things, and she didn't have time to raise peonies, so she never thought that since last year, Jinghuatai, who has always been low-key, did not hesitate to transport soil from Yizhou for her and buy all kinds of rare peony seeds. Jia Shi thought that this was Wei Yuanhou's love for her, but he never thought that Wei Yuanhou would almost crush her hand bones for this matter now.
"Soon after Guanyin ****, King Xin will leave the Beijing Dynasty Son of Heaven ****." Jing Huatai suddenly said something without a beginning or an end, and finally sighed heavily and sat on the stool, "Forget it, maybe Xiaochen's fate shouldn't be here!" ”
"What does King Xin's departure from Beijing have to do with Xiaochen?" When it came to his son, Jia couldn't care about the pain in his hand, and stood opposite Jinghuatai in surprise. King Xin is the younger brother of the emperor's father and mother, and he is the emperor's most trusted right and left hand. King Xin was infatuated, even if Princess Xin only gave birth to a daughter for him, he never took a concubine to sleep in the room.
"A few days ago, I happened to know from a dossier that the lord of Ruyang loves peonies the most, and I heard that no matter how difficult it is to find famous peonies, I will definitely go to appreciate them. The weather in the capital is cold, and it is not suitable for the growth of peonies, if you know that your peony will have a superb peony like Yao Huang Wei Zi, do you think she can still sit still? "Although it is very immoral to calculate a little girl, but looking at this noble girl in the capital, there are very few people with good family background and good conduct, and the county lord of Ruyang is one of them. Jing Huatai has confidence in his son, and there are several ladies in the list of ladies he prepared for the Peony Flower Club, so you can take a look at it at a while.
Thinking of this, Jing Huatai had to complain about Jia's again, but nothing else was okay, and she was really shallow at the ladies she picked for Jing Xiaochen.
"County Lord!" Sure enough, just hearing this head Jia Shi felt worried in his heart, "Can people take a fancy to Xiaochen?" And we're ...... in the house."
"How are we going?" Jing Huatai's face sank, "The hereditary replacement of the Marquis of Weiyuan, I am in the prime of life, who dares to guarantee that I will not continue to rise!" Xiaochen's talent you don't know I don't know, I don't know, I will win the autumn laurel this year, not to mention the county lord, even the palace is not incompatible. ”
Jia Shi was already dumbfounded, but what followed was ecstasy, it turned out that Jinghuatai had planned so much silently! Excitedly, he grabbed Jing Huatai's arm, "Why didn't Master Hou give me a breath earlier......"
"That's it, I wanted to let Xiaochen get on the line with him before King Xin left Beijing, and he would be able to get some errands before the autumn season, and there would definitely be a great creation after the autumn season." Now, not only Jia's heart hurts, but Jing Huatai's heart is also a little blocked, "Suppress the Wushuang matter earlier, let this matter fade quickly, and it can't be left to be criticized." Shuangxue, then you also told her a few words, and if you have already got your wish, don't hold on to Wushuang. ”
Jing Huatai said strictly, and the Jia family could only promise to be. When there was a report from outside that Jing Wushuang was coming, Jia had already decided that she would try her best to satisfy Jing Wushuang no matter what she wanted, after all, her daughter had already received the greatest benefit.
