16 (2nd Update) The two chapters are one
Jia's mother had already sent someone to wait at the gate, so as soon as Jia Yu arrived at the gate of Jia's house, someone rushed to inform Jia's mother. In the main hall of Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu sat high on the couch above, but her heart was not calm.
In addition to saying goodbye, this is the fourth time this year that the eldest son has been called to him. The first time was that Jia Jiu sued the royal court, the royal family sent a prince and three princes to get people, and after the two daughters-in-law were arrested, Jia's mother thought that Jia Jiu's escape from Jia Jiu to the subsequent series of things were all killed Jia Yu's premeditated plan, and called this son to him for a good meal; The second time was to call the two sons to explain the matter; The third time was because the women of the Wang family came, and Jia's mother also scolded Jia Yu in front of the wife of the Wang family and Wang Xifeng. It can be said that every time Jia's mother called Jia Yu, there was hardly a good thing, and even two of them, Jia's mother personally beat this son.
Although Jia's mother also knew that this son was actually not much at fault, she couldn't help but favor the younger son among the two sons again and again. It's the same this time.
It is impossible for Mother Jia to really let her granddaughter, who was raised by herself, follow the Xue family to the flower festival like this. Just as Aunt Xue herself said, the Xue family originally planned to take this opportunity to set a family affair for Xue Pan. What if Jia Yuanchun is allowed to follow the Xue family, and the Xue family hits Jia Yuanchun with the idea? If they cut the raw rice first and then cook the rice, wouldn't it be that Jia's mother would suffer a loss and endure this breath and marry her granddaughter.
Such a thing of losing his wife and breaking his soldiers, Jia Mu would never do it. Therefore, knowing that it might be a threat, Jia Mu had to cheer up. I went out with my granddaughters. It's just that in this way, it is impossible to take only Jia Yuanchun. It's only fair that the other juniors have to bring it.
While he was thinking wildly, there was a sound of an announcement outside. Jia Mu hesitated for a moment, and only reacted under the mention of the mandarin duck, and said, "Let the boss come in." ”
When Jia Yu heard the girl's message, he hurriedly straightened his clothes and went in with his head down. Walking to the center of the room, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the skirt of the mother sitting on it hanging down on the pedal, revealing only a little tip of his shoe, so Jia Yu lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "My son greets my mother." ”
Looking at the graying eldest son in front of her, Jia Mu sighed. The eldest son who was still wobbly learning to walk. Now he is also an old man. Time flies so fast.
Jia Yu knelt in the middle of the room, and he didn't hear a sound for a long time, and when he was wondering, there was a rustle of clothes from above, and then, a hand appeared in front of him. Although it is extremely well maintained, the skin is still fair, but it has long lost the smoothness of its youth, and the wrinkles and green tendons on the palms are clearly visible.
Jia Yu raised his head in a daze. But it was his old mother standing in front of him on crutches, and the hand that reached out in front of him was not his mother's left hand.
There are no words. Just staring quietly for a while, Jia Yu obediently put his right hand into Jia Mu's palm and stood up by himself. But he took advantage of the situation to help Jia's mother, under Jia's mother's instructions. I sat down on the first chair to the east, and then I was at the suggestion of Jia's mother. Sit down across from Jia Mu.
Mother Jia sighed and said, "You are now an old man who is nearly sixty years old, and my wife is also nearly eighty years old, but our family's luck is not good, and the population is withering......
The life of the ancients was not very long, so after forty, there is a saying that every nine into ten, that is, a forty-five-year-old person can say that he is nearly half a hundred years old, a fifty-four-year-old person can say that he is nearly sixty years old, in other words, nearly half a hundred years old refers to the age between forty-five and forty-nine years old, including the upper and lower limits, nearly sixty years old refers to fifty-four to fifty-nine years old, nearly seventy refers to sixty-three years old to sixty-nine years old, nearly eighty refers to seventy-two years old to seventy-nine years old, and so on, all include the upper and lower limits.
But the ancients married early. According to the ancient rites, men can be married after being crowned and women are married, so generally speaking, when a man is twenty-two and a woman is seventeen years old, it is the time for the family to hold a wedding for them. Later, after the war and the changes of the years, the age of marriage has been repeatedly advanced, to the Great Qi Dynasty, because of the implementation of the draft system, in addition to those old families, many children in the family get married very early, men are better, if it is a woman, seventeen years old did not get married, it is generally already a family but for various reasons to postpone the marriage, and eighteen years old no family and no marriage, that will definitely attract attention.
This is also the reason why Jia Yuanchun is so difficult to endure, and even does not hesitate to use subordinate means. If he doesn't want to marry himself off, it is likely that the family will really marry him to someone like Xue Pan.
Listening to Jia's mother talk about the withering population in her family, Jia Yu was also full of sorrow. If you change to someone else's family, even if you get married later, you should have a son and daughter when you are twenty-five years old, and when you are fifty years old, this grandson has already married a daughter-in-law, and the great-grandson will run away. At Jia Yu's age, if he moves quickly, I'm afraid that he has already started to worry about the marriage of his great-grandson, where is it like Jia Yu, even his son has not been crowned, and this daughter-in-law doesn't know where it is, let alone her grandson.
Jia Yu didn't dare to talk back to Jia's mother, let alone reveal the scars, which made Jia's mother uncomfortable, so she had to sit there and sigh.
Jia Mu said: "I know, you must be resentful of me in your heart." ”
Jia Yu hurriedly left his seat, knelt on the ground, and said, "My son doesn't dare." ”
Jia Muxu helped Jia Yu up and said: "Don't talk about you, even the old woman herself regrets it, she was confused by those so-called loves, and she asked your brother to come back with such a troublemaker, and he was deceived by him, harming the children and grandchildren of the family." It's just that things are already like this, and all we can do is look forward. ”
Jia Yu said: "Old lady, what do you mean ......"
Jia Mu said: "Don't blame me for being biased. I now have only two sons of your brothers, and you have the title of your ancestors, and you have a large inheritance in your hands, and you will always have no worries in the future. But your brother is different, he can only do this in his life, that is, he has some money in his hands, but his reputation has been ruined, and even his children have been implicated by him, and the old woman can only take care of him a little more. ”
Seeing that Jia Yu didn't say anything, Jia Mu knew that Jia Yu must be thinking in her heart: "That's really the case." My mother must have called me for my brother's sake. ”
Jia Mu shook her head. "Boss, you have to know. Your daughter is going to run in the general election. Unless he is put off the brand, his marriage will not be my turn to worry about as an old woman. ”
Jia Yu nodded silently. but he did not speak.
Jia Mu sighed and said: "Boss, we can only think about the second girl's affairs in the long run, and what we can do for him now is to raise him well and pave the way for him in the future." Although you and your brother have been separated, your daughter-in-law is still lying in the house. In the eyes of outsiders, the second girl is like the big girl, she is like an old woman. If the big girl is not good, the second girl is not good. Do you understand? ”
Jia Yu heard that it was about his daughter, so he pricked up his ears and listened.
Mother Jia saw that her son was interested, and made persistent efforts: "Although you have already separated, whether the eldest girl marries well or not, it will not hinder the second girl's future path." But the future result of the big girl is good, and the world sees that the big girl is doing things well, so that they can look at the second girl in high school more, and it will be easier for the second girl to go up in the future. ”
Jia Yu hurriedly bowed down to be taught.
Jia Mu said with satisfaction: "The old woman knows." This flower puja is extremely important to the two girls, but this time it is just as important for the big girls. There are many nobles there, and if the big girl is lucky, she is favored by the nobles. In the future election of the second girl, the big girl can also help. Sisters, we always watch over each other and advance and retreat together. ”
Jia Yu just listened and nodded. Shocked when he heard this, he said, "Old lady." You mean, let the big girl ......"
Jia Mu nodded decisively. interrupted his son: "That's right. ”
Jia Yu was anxious and said: "But the most feared thing by the ladies in the palace is the big girl." If you provoke them, not only will the eldest girl be in trouble, but the second girl will also be implicated......"
Jia Mu said: "I know. I also know that the Xue family has one thing in their hands, which is definitely what the emperor needs. As long as the Wang family tells the Xue family to hand over that thing, the big girl can at least have a concubine. If the big girl can enter the palace, and after a few years of seniority, when the second girl is elected in the future, the possibility of entering the palace to become a high-ranking concubine is much greater. ”
Jia Yu said: "Old lady, what do you mean to send the eldest girl and the second girl to the palace?" ”
Jia Mu said: "That's right. Anyway, the ladies in the palace are taboo about the big girl, they will definitely keep their eyes on the big girl, and they will not let the big girl give birth to the prince and the princess. In this way, the second girl hiding in the shadow of the big girl has a chance. ”
Jia Yu was reluctant to hear it: "Old lady, the second girl is small, and she was pampered." I don't want him to go into the palace. If I marry someone in Beijing, I can still see it often, but if I enter the palace, I don't know if I can see each other. ”
Jia Mu snorted and said, "Seeing that you are not promising, if you change to someone else, the old woman doesn't have the heart to plan for him." You're just too honest to be motivated. Do you know how many opportunities you miss? As soon as she thought of the old things, Jia Mu hated that iron could not become steel. If it weren't for this son's cowering and hesitation, the Jia family would have gone up a long time ago, how could he be so marginalized, what kind of social and banquet is there in Beijing, and the Jia family can't take their turn?
Jia Yu bowed his head and was silent. He knew that he didn't have such a smart head, and he wasn't the material for playing politics. The only thing he will do is to lie on the merits of his ancestors and wait for the royal family to raise him.
Seeing that her son didn't speak, Jia's mother knew that this son was distracted again, so she immediately knocked on the floor with a cane and said to her son who had just returned to his senses: "I always know that you are a little stupid, and you don't look down on these inner house methods." Let me ask you, if it weren't for your indifference to the affairs of the inner house, why didn't you have a daughter-in-law in the first place? And how your son died and was destroyed. You know that if you let your son take the arithmetic exam, why don't you know how to find a rich way for your daughter. In this world, who can compare to the royal family! ”
Jia Yu hesitated and said, "But mother, the second girl is really not this piece of material." ”
Jia Mu snorted and said, "It's not this piece of material." He's amazing. Before, he was lying on his stomach so softly that even the old woman thought that he was hopeless and had to give up, but he ran to the Jinluan Palace all of a sudden. As a result, where are all the minions who offended him, who neglected him, who said behind his back that he was not, and who put old qualifications in front of him? It's his second aunt, your brother and sister Wang, who are also in the Buddha hall now. Those minions were all sold by the officials to do hard labor, and your brother and sister also lost their reputation, and they could only be in the Buddha Hall for the rest of their lives. As far as your daughter is concerned, not only did she retreat with her whole body. also got the blue eyes of today's long live and the queen's mother, and not only got a reward but also a name. Even the rehabilitation you get. Where can ordinary girls do such a method? And after he came back, apart from worshipping his ancestors and giving you a hand, did you see him come out in other things? It's that treasure girl who stands out more than him on the surface, not to mention the big girl and the cloud girl. This ability to hide himself, all the girls in the entire family are not as good as him. You know, in the palace, it is not difficult to make yourself conspicuous, but in the shortest possible time, you can hide yourself. It's not everyone's ability. If it weren't for his ability, the old woman wouldn't have recognized him. ”
Jia Yu said: "Old lady, is there no other way? ”
Jia Mu shook her head and said, "If there is another way to go, will the old woman still think of marrying the eldest girl first?" You must know that your brother's reputation is no longer salvageable, and although you are better here, it is limited to the marriage of your sons, and the marriage of your daughter is just as difficult. If he is slammed. He is just as sad about getting married! ”
Jia Yu was silent, he knew that what Jia Mu said was true. Reputation is not something that can be repaired in a day or two.
Jia Yu thought about it, but he didn't have an idea. He had to say, "Then the son will ask his mother to bother more." ”
Jia Mu nodded and said, "Got it." You talk to the two daughters-in-law of the Zhang family and let them arrange a sedan car. ”
Jia Yu hurriedly responded.
Less. There was news from Duofuxuan's side that the two daughters-in-law of the Zhang family thought that Jia's mother's pomp was too big. There were a lot of nobles that day. If the pomp is too big, it is easy to offend people. For example, Jia Mu's eight-lift sedan chair, the serious princess is just an eight-lift sedan chair. According to the grade, Jia Mu can indeed use eight sedan chairs. But this is really going to be used, that is, to offend the rhythm of the princesses and princesses of the provinces. And although Aunt Xue is a guest of the Jia family, his real identity is the daughter-in-law of the merchant family, and the use of a sedan chair is also overstepping. The final plan given by the Zhang family is that Jia's mother has a car, Jia Jiu takes Jia Cong and the Zhang sisters in a car, Jia Yuanchun takes Jia Baoyu to visit Chun in a car, and the Xue family mother and daughter have a car, as for Shi Xiangyun, follow Jia's mother and make it, and follow Jia Jiu or Jia Yuanchun to make it.
When Jia Mu heard this, she had to say, "That's it." Then let Baoyuyun and the two of you get in a car with me, and the others will be arranged according to this list. ”
Mother Jia was going to take the children of her family to participate in the flower ceremony, and when the news spread, even Ning Guofu was alarmed. Don't look at Jia Jing's alchemy and cultivation, wearing a Taoist robe and mixing outside every day, but in the eyes of real Daomen, he is a wild man, and he can't do it at all. Even Jia Jing tried countless ways to get a post, but it hasn't worked out yet.
It's not that Ning Guofu doesn't have the financial resources to get a post for Jia Jing, but the kind of post that Jia Jing bought with money doesn't look down on it at all. I heard that the reason why Jia's mother was able to take a large family to the flower festival was entirely because after Jia Jiu got a special post, Jia Jing immediately sent a message to his son and asked him to arrange it. Jia Zhen had no choice but to hand over the matter to You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and You and Qin Keqing didn't have any good way.
Whether it is You Shi or Qin Keqing, they all know that Jia Jiu is still young, only eight years old, and what's worse is that everyone in Beijing who should know knows that this young lady in the General's Mansion is illiterate. For various reasons, this young lady was free-range by Mrs. Wang, and even if he asked him to write a letter, he couldn't.
You Shi and Qin Keqing both had bitterness and couldn't speak.
That's their father-in-law, grandfather-in-law, and he's a wayward man. Even if he was admitted to the Jinshi, he still said that he would become a monk if he became a monk, which shows that he is also a difficult master. If they can't do it, the two of them, who are daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, will just wait for this one to make a move.
But if Jia's mother wanted to bring the people of Ning Guofu, You Shi and Qin Keqing both thought that they were okay with Qin Keqing, after all, they were juniors, so they just squeezed them casually as attachments. If Jia's mother is allowed to bring Jia Jing, even if You Shi deceives himself, he thinks that the possibility is not high. He knew very well how much Jia Mu hated Jia Jing.
was forced to have no way, helpless, You Shi could only bring Qin Keqing to find Jia Jiu in person.
Qin Keqing said: "Second aunt, I also know that this matter is a bit difficult for strong people. It's just that I can't help it. Whether this matter is successful or not, I have no complaints, I just ask my aunt to help us. ”
Jia Jiu listened, hugged his younger brother and stared out of the window for a while, and said: "My sister-in-law didn't find the old lady, but directly looked for my sister, and I was already giving my sister face, how could my sister not know?" My sister-in-law's difficulties are also known to my sister. My sister understands what the old man means. It's just that I can only say do my best. As for whether it will work out, I can't guarantee it. If I can't, I won't dare to speak. But if it really happens, please ask the lord to promise me a condition. ”
You Shi hurriedly said, "What conditions?" ”
Jia Jiu said: "Please go home and enlighten my younger brother." ”
You Shi was stunned. Although he is the wife of the patriarch of Ning Guofu, he is also a daughter-in-law, and he does not dare to be the lord of his father-in-law. had to say that he wanted to go back to tell Jia Jing, and asked Jia Jing to make up his own mind, so he went back.
Jia Jiu is young and doesn't know the twists and turns, but You Shi vaguely knows that his father-in-law is not so easy to change his mind, if one is not good, he is not a human being. For such a thing, it's better to let the father-in-law decide for himself.
Apparently Jia Zhen also thinks so. It's just that there is not much time left, and Jia Zhen is reluctant, so he can only go out of the city overnight.
As soon as You Shi left, Zhang Qing spoke: "Auntie, are you really sure to get the second post?" ”
Jia Jiu said: "How can you do it if you don't try?" ”
He took out a pen and paper, wrote down the reason on the paper, and then pulled out the small bow and crossbow that Jia Cong had caught when he caught it, tied the letter to the arrow, and went outside to shoot it above his roof. Thanks to him for the teaching system. At least this time, he got every word right, just not so pretty.
Jia Jiu is gambling. He remembered that the first thing Danhuazi said when he saw him that day was to ask him if he could see it. Jia Jiu thought about it, and finally thought that whether he could see it or not should be one of the criteria for Daomen masters to send special posts. For some reason, there are often white shadows here in the Jia family, and even in their own yard. If these white shadows were the invisible Daomen people, then Jia Jiu, who spotted them and shot arrows at them, would definitely arouse their interest. The scale of this flower festival is so grand, it can be seen that there are a lot of posts, so it is not impossible for him to ask for more. Anyway, it's just a post for people in the world.
I have to say that Jia Jiu's thinking direction is right. Because of Jia Baoyu, no, it should be said that the relationship between the Shenying attendant and the Heavenly Relic Stone makes the aura of the Jia family a little stronger than in other places. And to be selected by the police fantasy fairy, the qualifications of the twelve golden hairpins are originally different from ordinary people. Therefore, the closer you get to the Flower Festival, the more hermit masters come to Beijing. In addition to arranging their own spiritual gathering array to practice, naturally some people also choose a suitable place to meditate. Therefore, there are many high-ranking people in the sky above the Jia family, and there is even one on Jia Jiu's courtyard.
It's not a coincidence that these masters can't avoid the arrow, but the arrow has a letter tied to it, and it is aimed at the person, which is not a coincidence.
After reading the letter, someone really made two high-end flower stickers for Jia Jiu for people in the world.
Regarding Jia Jiu's behavior, Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing were inexplicable. They couldn't see those white shadows, and thought that Jia Jiu was messing around, but when they turned around, in Jia Jiu's bedroom, there were actually two more posts on the kang table that had not been put away on the big kang near the window, so it was not a joke.
At least, Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing were taken aback.
Zhang Qing is already stupid. He thought he had penetrated into an alternate world, but how did he know that this was still a mythical world. If there are cultivators in this world, doesn't that mean that there are still demons? So will these demons eat people? Zhang Qing was in confusion. Instead of getting married, of course he hopes that he can cultivate immortals. As a modern woman, of course he doesn't like to grab a common cucumber with other women, but this immortal cultivation is also in crisis, making it difficult for him to make a decision. If Zhang Qing is a mecha or an intelligent computer, then his situation is equivalent to logical confusion and the collapse of the intelligent module. And he is a human being, and his appearance in this situation is equivalent to saying that he actually wants both, but is faced with a dead proposition of choosing one of the two.
Jia Jiu didn't know about Zhang Qing's confusion. After getting the two posts, he planned to hand them over directly to Jia Yu, and his father would handle the whereabouts of the two posts. (To be continued......)
