When it comes to his marriage, Shang knows better than anyone else.

Although it is said that his marriage to Jia Lian was given by the Emperor Taishang, in fact, Jia Jiu, as the chief disciple of the current Daomen Jinyi Daozi lineage and the future Jinyi Daozi, the Jia family, or in other words, Jia Yu's branch, has also become a part of the peripheral forces of the Daomen in disguise. And their merchants were originally the peripheral forces of Confucianism. His marriage to Jia Lian seems to be the favor of the emperor, but in fact, it is another alliance of the peripheral forces of Taoism and Confucianism. The marriage of the Emperor Taishang is just the icing on the cake.

Because he knew his position very well, Shang never thought that he would hold his husband and in-laws in his hands. On the contrary, if there is anything, he does not make his own decisions, but discusses it with her husband. Because of his meekness and gentleness, Jia Lian was very satisfied with him, especially when he saw his wife discussing the affairs of the family with him.

In the Jia family, Jia Lian has seen a lot of women who make their own decisions without consulting men, from Jia's mother to Mrs. Wang, all of them are like this, even if it is Li Kun, it looks like a rule, but in fact, it is a great idea. If nothing else, let's just say that when Jia Zhu was alive, there would be fewer people in the house? But when Li Kun moved out, there were only a few people in his house?

Whether it is Jia Yu or Jia Lian, even if he grits his teeth with hatred for Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, he has never been angry with the people below, even Jia Baoyu has never had a grudge, let alone Li Kun, Jia Zhu's widow. But the person who originally served Jia Zhu was still sent away by Li Kun, what was the reason? Li Kun said it nicely, but in fact. It's not that Li Kun can't tolerate these people?

Not to mention Li Kun's attitude towards silver money.

Even Jia Lian has heard that Jia Baoyu and a few girls in Tanchun run a poetry club, which originally had nothing to do with Jia Jiu. Jia Baoyu gets a lot of money from Jia's mother every year, and Li Kun's monthly and annual routines are all on top, but in the end, it was his sister's money. Even Jia Lian faintly heard that even if his sister gave money, when it came time to start the poetry club, they still had to get together.

Jia Lian didn't know what happened to the silver, but, since then. He has a considerable understanding of Li Kun's self-confession. Even if someone told him that Li Kun was a widow and wanted to leave a little more money for his son. Jia Lian scoffed.

In Jia Lian's opinion, Jia Lan is no longer favored, and he is also Jia Zheng's eldest son and grandson, and Jia Zheng will have an accident in the future. Most of Jia Zheng's family business is Jia Lan's. Even Mrs. Wang, no matter how much she loves Jia Baoyu, it is impossible to leave all her private rooms to Jia Baoyu regardless of national law. Not to mention that Jia's mother's dowry private house is already destined to be in the pocket of their second room, and Jia Lan will inevitably get a share in the future.

occupies the name of the eldest son and grandson, has no less than five hundred taels of silver every year, and has a large family business in the future.

Jia Lian even felt. If Li Kun is in Mrs. Wang's position, he may not be more greedy than Mrs. Wang. It's just that the current Li Kun doesn't have such an opportunity.

Because of this, Jia Lian is quite satisfied with his wife. One cares about his wife, and the other doesn't mind taking out his wife to marry Zhuangzi and Shop, and discussing with him how to take care of his wife, even if he won't do anything about his wife's dowry, but his wife's attitude is enough to make Jia Lian shocked.

Maybe his sister is very capable, but Jia Lian thinks that he can't bear his sister's strong temperament, even if most of his sister's temperament is because he is trying to protect his family, his father and his brother, who are not successful.

For Jia Lian, what happened to his sister was his incompetence, and he was willing to raise his sister for the rest of his life. However, if he marries a wife with the same temper as his sister, Jia Lian will shake his head.

In the final analysis, Jia Lian is just an ordinary man, and his requirements for his wife are just public requirements, and Jia Jiu obviously does not meet the general standards of women.

Of course, Shang Qingyi is not an ordinary man.

Hearing Mrs. Wang mention her brother, the Shang family only smiled slightly, and said: "My brother is a descendant of my businessman, and his marriage is not only his own major event, but also closely related to my mother's Shang family. Therefore, my future sister-in-law must not only satisfy her brother, but also win the approval of the clan elders. The girl who can make the emperor pay attention is naturally good, but unfortunately, she can't let her brother nod, even if they are excellent, it is in vain. ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes narrowed, and she said, "But your brother's age is older than Lian'er, right?" ”

Shang said: "Yes." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "Your brother is not young, and no one in the house can take care of it." ”

Jia Jiu wanted to say that the businessman's affairs were naturally worried about by the businessmen, and it was not Mrs. Wang's turn to talk more, considering the identity of the Shang family and his current situation, Jia Jiu could only keep his mouth shut.

It's not good to make people think that they hate to marry, or if they let people spread rumors that they like Shang Qingyi.

It was the Shang family, who heard Mrs. Wang say this, so he said: "My brother's affairs, I am my sister's, and it is inconvenient to interfere." After all, the elder brother is the head of the family. ”

Mrs. Wang said: "Yes, I forgot, you have already split up, and now there is only one brother left in your room." ”

Shang smiled and said, "Exactly." ”

Shang wanted to say something, but he heard a noise outside, and soon, Lin Zhixiao's family rushed in, kowtowed underground, and said, "Say hello to the second wife, the second wife is auspicious." ”

Mrs. Wang said goodbye.

Shang said: "Lin Zhixiao's family, what happened, you are so anxious." ”

Lin Zhixiao's family said: "If you go back to the milk and milk, there is news from outside, saying that the second master has been ordered to go straight to the grain road." ”

Before the words fell, Mrs. Wang was already smiling, and even Xia Jingui quickly stepped forward to support her mother-in-law and said, "Madam, I'm so happy." Our master was promoted to school politics, and now he has been promoted to the grain road, and it is nothing more than moving three times a day. It can be seen how much importance the head attaches to the master. ”

Mrs. Wang patted Xia Jingui's hand and said with a loving face: "Good boy." It's all your credit. He said to Jia Jiu very proudly: "Second girl, our master has been silent for so long, and it is finally time for the transfer to come." ”

Jia Jiu heard this. He smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed a great joy." I think that the Zhili Grain Road is not far from Jingshi, and the second uncle will be back soon. ”

Mrs. Wang said repeatedly: "Exactly." Since the old lady is still resting, we won't bother, and when your second uncle comes back, we will come to the door to greet the old lady. ”

said. took Xia Jingui's hand to follow, and Li Kun followed behind with his head down.

Tanchun was originally expecting to stay in this Rongguo Marquis Mansion for a while so that he could catch his breath. At this point, I can only reluctantly go.

When the backs of Mrs. Wang and her party disappeared, Jia Jiu's face fell, and even Shang's face was very ugly.

Although he failed to marry Jia Baoyu in the end. Shi Xiangyun's concern for Jia Baoyu has never changed. I heard that Jia Zhengyi is coming back. At that time, he took Xichun's hand and said, "Fourth sister, the master is coming back." I don't know what happened to the second brother. There is no master staring at the side, and the second brother has a new wife, but I am afraid that he has no intention of doing his homework at all. If the master comes back and checks the second brother's homework, won't the second brother have to suffer a lot? ”

Xichun said with a smile: "Sister Yun, where did you come from?" There is only one master in this house, and the Hou Ye is at home every day. Where did the 'lord come back'? ”

Shi Xiangyun was angry and ashamed. couldn't help but pinched Xichun and said, "Fourth sister." You know what I'm talking about. ”

Xichun shook off Shi Xiangyun, walked to Jia Jiu's side, and said, "Second sister, Sister Yun made me so painful." ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly lifted Xichun's sleeves, looked at it, and said, "No, it's all green." And he hurried to get the ointment.

Shi Xiangyun was very embarrassed.

Now he has finally learned to apologize to others. I only heard him say: "I'm sorry, fourth sister, I'm worried about the second brother, so I lost my sense of proportion." ”

Xichun glanced at Shi Xiangyun and said, "Sister Yun doesn't need to apologize. Everyone knows that Sister Yun didn't mean it. ”

Shi Xiangyun's face suddenly turned pale, and then turned red again.

I only heard Jia Jiu say: "That's it, Sister Yun, don't worry, when the second uncle comes back this time, I'm afraid he won't have so much energy to take care of Baoyu's affairs." ”

Shi Xiangyun was stunned at first, and then his heart jumped. He looked at Jia Jiu's expression carefully, then turned his head to look at Shang, the corner of his eye swept Lin Daiyu's expression again, and suddenly stepped forward quickly, grabbed Jia Jiu's hand at once, and said, "Second sister, is something happening?" ”

The weight of the strength was so heavy that even Xichun was startled.

"Sister Yun, what are you doing? Forget it if you hurt my hand, how can you ...... to the second sister"

"I'm sorry Fourth Sister, I can't take care of it at this time." Shi Xiangyun said eagerly: "Second sister, did something happen?" Second sister, will you tell me? ”

Jia Jiu pondered for a while, and then told Shi Xiangyun about the harm of Jia Zheng, who had no reputation, serving as a scholar, and Shi Xiangyun was stunned when he heard it. When it was over, Shi Xiangyun said: "Fortunately, the old man, the second master was promoted after just staying in these two days, saving a lot of things." Seeing that Jia Jiu's expression remained the same, Shi Xiangyun's original happiness in his heart turned into unease little by little: "Second sister, looking at your appearance, it seems that you are very worried. ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "But the second master has already left the position of Xuezheng." ”

Jia Jiu replied: "If it is someone else, whether it is my aunt's brother Wang Ziteng or the two marquis of my sister's family, any of them are in the position of the grain road, I am very relieved." But with the second uncle, I can only burn incense and worship the Buddha for him, and pray to God to help him. ”

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly asked why.

Jia Jiu replied: "Salt administration and grain road, these are the positions that are most likely to breed corruption. Even if the person in the position is clean and innocent, it is difficult to say that someone behind him is shooting at the salt and grain, and taking the person above the tank. Therefore, to sit firmly on the salt policy and grain road, whether it is family background or means, it is indispensable. If you talk about the family background, there is a big sister in the palace, and the second uncle is not afraid. But I'm afraid that the second uncle's means are not enough, and in the end, he will be played with by others. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "How is it possible? ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "If the second uncle was really capable, he would not have changed from a real director of the Ministry of Works to a virtual member of the Ministry of Works, and then stayed in this position for more than ten years." You must know that the position of a foreigner, many times, is a part-time job for officials. Like my brother, he is a governor in Tongzhou, and if he needs to strengthen the water conservancy projects in Tongzhou and nearby prefectures and counties, he will let my brother also be a member of the Ministry of Engineering. But over the years, have you seen any other positions on the second uncle? What actual engineering did he receive? ”

Shi Xiangyun was stunned.

Shi Xiangyun wanted to say that it was because of Jia Jiu that Jia Zheng was made a cold bench. But in fact, Shi Xiangyun also knew that before that incident came out, Jia Zheng had been sitting on the cold bench for many years.

Jia Zheng's ability is really limited.

Shi Xiangyun finally said: "Then second sister, what can you do about it?" If the second master is not good, Baoyu ,...... I mean, the old lady must be sad. ”

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "If you want me to say, it would be nice if I could find a good master." It's just that where is the reputation of the second uncle, and people who are really capable and reliable are afraid that they will not be willing to wade into the troubled waters of the second uncle. In addition, only the aunt can help the second uncle. Not to mention anything else, my aunt's ability is also some. As long as the aunt reins in her selfishness and doesn't act so boldly, the aunt can still help the second uncle more or less. ”

Shi Xiangyun listened to it, kept it firmly in his heart, and told Jia Mu that night. He said, "Old lady, I heard that Wang Ziteng Wang also came to Jingshi, waiting for the recovery." If you can let Lord Wang Ziteng help the second master, if you have merits in the future, it will be easy for Lord Wang Teng to recover, and the second master will also have merit. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she was also overjoyed: "That's not it! Although it is said that our family has offended Wang Ziteng, but the second family is Wang Ziteng's own sister, Wang Ziteng does not help the second family, who else can he help. ”

Because it was late and the city gate had been closed, Jia Mu could only give up, but she didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the morning dawned, she sent someone to send a letter to Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng.

I don't want to, Wang Ziteng's side hasn't gotten the news yet, and Mrs. Wang's side won't follow it first.

Mrs. Wang said in front of her two daughters-in-law: "The old lady is really true, and she even has to take care of my brother's affairs." My brother is also in Beijing now, I'm afraid he has run a lot of doors, and I can't say that one day I will remember my brother coming. At that time, if my brother was not in Beijing, wouldn't he have wasted the opportunity? ”

Xia Jingui heard that it was not easy to agree with Mrs. Wang, nor to agree with Jia's mother's proposal, so he could only say: "Madam, my daughter-in-law doesn't understand this matter." Why don't you wait for the next time you enter the palace and ask your mother? Niangniang is talented and intelligent, and she will definitely be able to help her wife make the best choice. ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and agreed. (To be continued......)
