Chapter 57
Jia Yu told Mrs. Tai about his recommendation of Jia Dairu to Jia Daihua.
Before saying this, Jia Yu had thought that if his grandmother was unhappy, even if Jia Daihua would think that it was a reversal, he would mess up this matter, but to his surprise, Mrs. Tai was more indifferent than he imagined, and even reminded him to remember Jia Dairu: "These outside things are taken care of by your men, ask me what an old woman does, I don't care about anything outside, and this kind of thing is not my turn to be a woman." Your uncle must already have an idea, you just have to listen to your uncle. Speaking of which, in the Jia family, your sixth uncle and Jing'er over there have their own merits, and it is also a good thing for your uncle to find an errand for him, which will not bury his talent, but also encourage the children who study in the clan to work hard. β
There is no sadness, no resentment, when Mrs. Tai talks about Jia Dairu, it is like talking about an ordinary distant relative in the clan, in the face of Mrs. Tai's reaction, Jia Yu doesn't know what to say. Noticing that Mrs. Tai used "Jia family" and "clan" instead of "our family" when talking about Jia Dairu, he hesitated again and again, but he still tentatively said: "There are only a few people in our family who are above the court, and it is a good thing that there is one more person in the clan and our family will have one more helper." It's just that the sixth uncle is also old, and Yu'er shouldn't trouble him with such a trivial matter; Moreover, Shandong is really far away, and it would be nothing if Yu'er went by himself, but the sixth uncle was not in good health, and I was afraid that he would not be able to stand the fatigue of the journey. β
Mrs. Tai looked at him with a smile: "When you recommended your sixth uncle to your uncle, you didn't think that he was in poor health. β
Jia Min's housekeeper went, and the house was full of trustworthy people, Jia Yu touched his nose, sat down next to Mrs. Tai, and honestly admitted: "Isn't Yu'er afraid that you will be unhappy." β
Mrs. Tai stretched out her hand and twisted his ear, and scolded with a smile: "Slippery head!" I know what you mean, but is grandmother the one who cares in your eyes? β
Mrs. Tai is not the kind of person who is aggressive and ruthless, otherwise the concubines and concubines of the old prince would have been annihilated in the struggle in the back house, and they would not have survived at all like Jia Daishan's concubines. Similarly, Mrs. Tai is not the kind of person who clings to the past grievances.
For that concubine Jia Dairu, Mrs. Tai used to have very complicated feelings, and she couldn't talk about hatred, because Jia Dairu was quite peaceful-maybe it was because he had read books, but his biological mother really made Mrs. Tai respond; It's absolutely impossible to like it, after all, it's the concubine of the old man, if she can, what woman would want her husband to marry me and other women, and give birth to a son? Mrs. Tai was born in a scholarly family, and the education she received since she was a child was also according to the rules of the scholarly family, but the world made people, and she married into the nouveau riche Jia family, and the rule environment of the Jia family can be said to be completely out of step with the scholarly family. That's it, but the old Rong Guogong is still a romantic and amorous, and Jia Daishan and Jia Yu in the previous life are the same as the concubines of the house, and he is more respectful than close to his wife, although he did not spoil the concubine and kill his wife, but invisibly gave those concubines the courage to challenge the status of his wife and son, Jia Dairu's biological mother was once one of those people, and once caused a lot of trouble to Mrs. Tai. It is not known what happened at that time, but it is certain that because of this past, after the death of the old prince, Jia Daishan, who inherited his father's title, did not give his cousin any chance to get ahead.
But now, Mrs. Tai really doesn't care about Jia Dairu. Decades have passed, and the people who were angry with her with her youth and beauty have turned into white bones, and the grass on the grave is afraid that it is already as tall as a person; Old Rong Guogong also passed away, and before leaving, what he missed most was not Ai Ji who had been with him, but her who had gone through many ups and downs with him, and that was enough; Moreover, Jia Daishan, the son who suppressed his brother-in-law for the grievances his mother had suffered, also died of illness, and she still held on to those old things, in addition to making her grandchildren worry and making her son under Jiuquan uneasy, what good is there? It's better to live your life happily.
Moreover, compared to her grandson's concern about whether she would be angry because he recommended Jia Dairu to Jia Daihua, Mrs. Tai was more concerned about whether Jia Dairu would turn around and be unfavorable to her grandson after becoming an official. After all, Jia Daishan's actions directly led Jia Dairu to not be able to go further in the imperial examination for many years, it is impossible to say that Jia Dairu has no resentment, if Jia Yu gave him a chance, but he turned against Jia Yu, it would be bad: "Your sixth uncle's business, you look at your uncle's intentions and do it, after all, he is your elder, you can't say too much about this matter." But speaking of which, your sixth uncle has long been famous, and now he is also a person who is about to have a grandson, but when your father was still there before, he didn't think about finding a position for him for so many years, so that now although he has the opportunity to become a leader, he has no experience, and when the time comes, I am afraid that he will not be able to cope with it for a while, but he has been wronged. β
Jia Yu tacitly agreed: "Yu'er also took this into account, if the uncle can facilitate this matter, when the appointment of the household department is down, Yu'er will find a few experienced old officials and staff members for the sixth uncle to help." β
Although this is a bit troublesome, and the best way to cut off all potential dangers is to prevent Jia Dairu from coming out, but--Jia Yu thought about the way Jia Dairu and his wife cried for the death of their only grandson in their previous life, and sighed slightly: Forget it, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, it should be for Jia Hu Jia Qiong to accumulate virtue, and Jia Dairu is an official, and with that person's background, he will not be able to prosper anywhere.
Mrs. Tai felt that her grandson's idea was feasible: "This method is okay, but you still have to discuss it with your uncle, in the end, your uncle is in charge of this matter, and you just do what your uncle tells you to do." Having said that, although I am staying at home these days, I also know that some things are more chaotic now, and you must be careful when you are outside, and you must discuss with your uncle before making a decision. It's not that your grandmother can't trust you, it's that you're still young, you haven't experienced much, you don't know how bad, and your grandmother is worried that if you are accidentally deceived by some villains, it will be bad if you get on the thief ship. β
Jia Yu agreed casually: "Yu'er knows, the uncle has experienced a lot of things, and the uncle is young, and he has to rely on the uncle's advice for many things." β
said so, but in fact, since the incident of King Ning, the relationship between him and Ning Guofu's side has become very delicate.
I have to say that Jia Daihua is a competent patriarch, in his eyes, nothing is more important than the unity and stability of the Jia family, and before he didn't know why the Jia Yu brothers fell out, he even advised Jia Yu to say things like "family harmony and prosperity" and "brotherly friendship". Such a person, the reason why he was able to let Jia Daishan suppress his brothers before, in addition to the fact that Jia Daishan is also the head of the family and his affairs Jia Daihua is not good at interfering, he did not think that "the side branch cannot overpower the Yan branch" and was worried that Jia Dairu would fight with Jia Daishan after being admitted to the Jinshi and hurt the vitality of the family.
Now, however, this competence has become an obstacle to Jia Yu in a certain way. Jia Daihua insisted that the Jia family should not participate in the struggle of the princes, and also opposed Jia Yu's practice of secretly helping King Ning while being loyal to the saint, believing that this was very likely to lead to a fire, whether it was detected by the saint or discovered by other princes, Jia Yu's future would be ruined, and he really couldn't see King Ning's chance of winning - yes, King Ning had no obvious shortcomings, but there were no advantages that could be used, whether it was family background or himself; Jia Yu insisted on his choice based on the experience of his previous life and the fact that the court situation in this life was still following the trajectory of the previous life, and neither of the uncle and nephew could convince anyone, and after a dispute, a temporary consensus was reached: wait quietly first to see how the situation in the court will go.
So now, when Jia Yu does something, he has to consider Jia Daihua's reaction. Although it is said that "relatives and relatives hide each other", Jia Daihua will not tell him about it no matter how loyal he is, but if Jia Daihua does something for "his good" or hides something from him that he should know, it will be bad.
No matter whether Jia Yu has a headache for Jia Daihua or what, the time is the same, and it will soon be the end of the year.
After Jia Min recovered from his illness, he took over the management of the affairs of the General's Mansion, as the smell of the New Year became stronger and stronger, Jia Min became more and more busy, but Zhang Xian always felt that Jia Min did not need to do a lot of things, and persuaded her privately: "Sister, although it is said that the New Year is busy, but so many housekeepers and grandmothers in the family can be taken care of alone, and some things can be handed over to them, you don't have to be careful in everything, you are recovering from a serious illness, but you have to take care of your body, otherwise it will not make your grandmother and her old man feel distressed." Originally, my sister-in-law only wanted to let your housekeeper practice her hands, but you were busy like this, and my sister-in-law regretted bothering you when she saw it. β
Jia Min just smiled lightly when she heard this: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, sister-in-law don't worry, Min'er is fine." Min'er also knows that Min'er is only shallow in her studies and is overwhelmed, but since her sister-in-law and brother believe in Min'er, Min'er has to take care of the family so as to live up to her brother and sister-in-law's expectations of Min'er. β
Zhang Xian told Jia Yu about this at night, and said at the end: "I always feel that my sister seems to have deliberately kept herself busy, I'm afraid that my sister will not be able to untie that knot with my γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ», but it can't go on like this, even those who are beaten with iron have to rest." β
Jia Yu thought about it, and then he understood: "I know, you tell the people below not to bother my sister if it's not necessary, I'll do the rest." β
In the final analysis, Jia Min has not yet come out of Shi's affairs, so he has become very busy, so that he will not have to go to the West Compound to face his mother who doesn't know how to face it, nor do he have to think about what kind of person his biological mother is.
But what should come will still come, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family kept the New Year together in Rongxi Hall, and Shi was also allowed to come out of the West Compound.
Since Jia Min fell ill, Shi has never seen his daughter again, and he has no chance to coax Jia Min to change his mind. When everyone greeted each other, Shi pulled Jia Min into his arms and cried: "My son, you have been wronged!" β
Jia Min's body stiffened imperceptibly, and slowly left Shi's embrace: "What's wrong with the old lady, Min'er is doing well, and she hasn't suffered any grievances." β
Jia Yu on the side coughed slightly, and said slowly: "Old lady, tomorrow is the New Year, you should be happy, the day of great joy, it is not good to cry." β
Shi Shi looked at the eldest son slightly, and happened to meet the other party's smiling eyes, and immediately stirred, and hurriedly put away his tears: "Look at me, I'm all old and confused, how can I cry on a good day." He pulled Jia Min again: "I heard the news that you were sick before, I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep at night, as long as I thought of you being sick in bed, my heart was like a thousand needles pricked, but I couldn't do anything, I could only chant and pray for you in the Buddhist hall." At that time, I thought that as long as you can get better, you will be willing to take my life immediately, and now that I see you well, the big stone in my heart will be put down. β
Jia Min lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly: "Min'er thanks the old lady for her concern, it is really Min'er's unfilial piety to let the old lady worry about Min'er, she is not allergic to live with her grandmother, and she has the care of her brother and sister-in-law, so the old lady doesn't have to worry about Min'er or anything." β
Shi finally realized that something was wrong: in the past, when she was in the West Compound, Jia Min always called her "mother", why did she suddenly become an unfamiliar "old lady" now? Moreover, from beginning to end, Jia Min's eyes never met her gaze, and she always lowered her head slightly.
When she was about to say something, Mrs. Tai was already beckoning: "Min'er came to grandmother, grandmother showed you an interesting thing, I heard that it is a rare thing from the West." β
Jia Qiong also shouted: "Auntie come and see, my little uncle also sent Qiong'er something funny." β
Jia Min agreed, got up and walked over. Shi Shi didn't have time to stop it, so he watched his daughter leave her side without hesitation, Jia Yu said idly on the side: "It's a pity, the second brother and Zhu'er's illness is not completely healed, otherwise it's good to let Zhu'er come over and play with Hu'er, the two boys have something to say, so as not to keep Qiong'er from leaving her brother out in the cold." β
Shi Shi suddenly turned his head to look at him, and the Buddhist beads in his hand were about to be crushed.
Jia Yu looked back at her indifferently, his eyes were pure and his face was innocent: "Old lady? β
Soon after Jia Min fell ill, Jia Zhu and Jia Zheng on the other side of the second room also fell ill one after another, Jia Zhu was tired and sick, Jia Zheng accidentally suffered from the cold, and the father and son have not completely recovered until now - when Shi Shi learned about this from Jia Yu a few days ago, he almost wanted to bite off a piece of Jia Yu's meat.
As the object of Shi's resentment, Jia Yu easily said that the illness of the father and son in the second room had nothing to do with him at all. Jia Zheng himself hopes that his son will become a talent, and Jia Zhu is tired and sick, what does it matter to him? Jia Zheng's illness has nothing to do with him, he was busy with his own affairs during that time, where did he have time to take care of Jia Zheng.
As for Jia Zheng, because he was sick, he happened to miss the literati gathering held by a certain prince at his home, so he missed an opportunity to show off his talents in front of others?
