Because Jia Jiu protected Jia's mother's heart in time, Jia Yu invited the imperial doctor to come over in time, and in the end saved Jia's mother's life. How could it be that Jia's mother is also old, and she has suffered such two blows in succession, which has made his already weak body worse.

After half a year, Jia's mother suffered another stroke.

This time, Jia Mu was not as lucky as last time. Before this, although Jia's mother didn't like to expose her old age and inconvenience in front of the juniors, Jia's mother was able to walk around the house twice a day with the support of the girls.

But now, Jia's mother can't even get off the bed. Not only could he not get off the bed, but he couldn't even speak clearly, his mouth was crooked, and when he opened his mouth, saliva flowed down.

Such a Jia mother, even if she wants to squeeze her fists, it is very difficult, not to mention others.

When something like this happened to Jia's mother, Lin Daiyu came as soon as possible. Jia Baoyu, Xia Jingui, Tanchun, Jia Huan and others in the suburbs all got the news and panicked. But the four of them have filial piety, and they can't go to see Jia's mother, so they can only worry secretly. Tanchun is to copy scriptures and pray for Jia's mother every day, hoping that Jia's mother can recover as soon as possible.

Not to mention the worries of Jia Baoyu and others, let's just say that here in the Marquis Mansion of Rongguo, Jia's mother's illness, not to mention Jia Jiu and Shi Xiangyun, even Jia Yu comes and goes three times a day, always inquiring diligently.

is also like this Jia Mu, even at this time, even if she is lying in bed, she still can't let go. Even if he couldn't even speak, he didn't forget to hold Jia Jiu's hand firmly and shout something in his mouth.

What makes people sad is that after the stroke. Jia Mu just shouted and lost her strength. He doesn't make much louder sound than a cat.

Jia Jiu could only kneel in front of Jia's mother's sickbed, guessing again and again what Jia's mother wanted to say.

"Old lady. Please rest assured. Baoyu is fine. It's just that the old lady is sick, and Baoyu has filial piety, so you can't come in. As for your private house and dowry, my father has asked Baoyu's uncle, Prince Teng, to testify against the people of the Eastern Mansion and the official government, and they have all been sealed, and they will definitely be given to Baoyu in the future. ”

Jia Mu listened and kept shaking her head.

That's not what he wanted to ask.

Jia Jiu thought for a moment. said: "Old lady, about the Shi family, my father also inquired. It is said that he was implicated by the Zhen family. ”

Jia Mu's hand in Jia Jiu's palm really moved.

Seeing that Jia Mu cares about this. Jia Jiu said: "Yes, old lady, what kind of people are the two Hou masters and the two Hou Ladies of the Shi family, others don't know. Will our family not know? Two Mrs. Hou. The granddaughters have all seen it, and they are all very understanding people. Where can there be such a person who is easily seduced by wealth? It is said that it was the two Hou Masters who only arrived in office, and someone put a dagger or something like that next to the pillow of the two Hou Ye in the middle of the night. Then there was poisoning and stuff like that. The two Hou masters were coerced by the Zhen family, so they stood by and watched. Serious bad things have nothing to do with them. It's just that this imperial examination fraud case is so big, Long Live Lord has no face, so he is annoyed, not only annoyed by the Zhen family's nonsense. I was also annoyed that the two cousins were not loyal and were angry in the Qinzheng Palace. Therefore, no one dares to intercede here. ”

Jia Mu's mouth was a few more ahhhhhh

Jia Jiu said: "The old lady wants to see Sister Yun? ”

Although it was difficult, Jia Mu nodded.

Jia Jiu said: "Although my father doesn't dare to make Banzai angry here, but the two marquis of the Shi family are the old lady's maiden nephews and the cousins of my father's sisters-in-law, where does my father not take care of them?" My father had already sent some food, clothes, and bedding to the two cousins and the daughters of the Shi family. Sister Yun also followed to meet her uncle and aunt, as well as her cousin. It is said that after hearing a lot of bad words, his face was not very good when he came back, and he was lying in the house at this time. ”

Shi Xiangyun not only had a bad face, but was simply scolded by several of his cousins.

Shi Xiangyun complained everywhere that he had been wronged, and some people who didn't know really thought that the two ladies of the Shi family had treated him badly, so his two cousins were also dragged down by him, and they could hardly find a good family.

Originally, if Shi Xiangyun did not stay in the Jia family at the beginning, but followed the two uncles to take office, maybe Baoling Hou and Zhongjing Hou would have found someone for Shi Xiangyun in the field. It's a pity that Shi Xiangyun would rather move around Jia's house, first from Jia's mother's yard to the back garden, and then to Daguan Garden, and then almost was kicked out by Mrs. Wang and returned to Jia's mother's yard. After going around in such a big circle, Shi Xiangyun didn't tell his uncle and aunt about the matter, so that Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou all learned about Shi Xiangyun from outsiders.

If something like this happens, how much better will the reputation of the Baolinghou couple and the Zhongjinghou couple be?

Even Mrs. Baolinghou and Mrs. Zhongjinghou also complained about this, and even told Shi Xiangyun in front of Jia Yu that no one pleaded for mercy when his two uncles committed something, and it was because Shi Xiangyun did it himself. It is not the elders who are arranged everywhere, so that the superiors think that his two uncles are such misbehaving people who refuse to take care of their nieces, so almost no one dares to intercede for Baoling Hou and Zhongjing Hou.

Only then did Shi Xiangyun know that his behavior in the past had brought so much trouble to his family. When he came back from the prison, his whole face was not quite right. Jia Jiu was afraid that something would happen to him, so he specially asked the imperial doctor who came to ask Jia's mother for a pulse the next day to show Shi Xiangyun, and saw that Shi Xiangyun did not have any serious symptoms, so he was relieved.

Jia Muyou was not at ease, her mouth was still open.

Jia Jiu took the handkerchief in the hand of the mandarin duck on the side, wiped off Jia's mother's saliva, and said, "The two cousins and the cousins below are in a bad situation. It's better when it's in the south, for the sake of the Shi family's title, for the sake of the Shi family's not the main culprit, those cell bosses don't dare to use privacy means. But when they arrived in Beijing, some people saw that the above did not speak, and everyone did not dare to intercede, so they were a little snub to their cousins and cousins, and even deliberately tossed them. ”

Jia Mu's hand really moved.

Jia Jiu explained: "Old lady, please rest assured, my father has already been in prison, and the two aunts and the cousins below will not be wronged again." As for the palace, I also asked someone. When Banzai's mood is slightly better, someone will intercede. Old lady. You can rest assured, Uncle Cousin's sin is not very great. Even the Zhen family's charges haven't come down yet, let alone the two cousins who were forced by the Zhen family and had to choose to stand by? Old lady. Rest assured, it's going to be fine. ”

Jia Mu opened her mouth, and finally let out a long sigh.

Jia Mu didn't ask Jia Jiu anything else.

For the current Jia Mu, even if she communicates with Jia Jiu like this, it will take a lot of strength.

On the contrary, it was Jia Jiu, who withdrew his hand after Jia's mother fell asleep in a drowsy state. Rubbing his kneeling knee, which was a little numb, he went to the blue yarn cupboard.

These days, only Jia Jiu and Shi Xiangyun are in the blue yarn cupboard. As for Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters. They are about to get married, and there are a lot of things, so they are only in front of Jia's mother during the day. As for the Shang family, who was pregnant with the child, he only came to sit for a while in the afternoon. I'll be back at dusk.

The child in Shang's womb. is Jia Lian's first child, and he is also Jia Yu's grandson who has been looking forward to it for many years. Don't talk about Jia Lian, Jia Jiu and others, even Jia Mu and Jia Yu don't want anything to happen to the Shang family.

Looking at the spots on Shang's face, anyone with eyes knows that the one in Shang's belly is almost certainly a boy.

Because Shang's parents died early, and his brother did not marry his sister-in-law, Shang had to raise a baby again. So Jia Yu went to Zhang's house to borrow the two young grandmothers of the Zhang family to help take care of Jia Qian's marriage.

Even if there is no matter of Jia's mother, Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters are twenty years old this year. Even if it's a man. If you get married at this time, you will also be curious to say a few words, let alone a woman.

Fortunately, everyone in the world knows that Jia Qian and Jia Qing were originally overage due to the postponement of the draft, so they hired themselves, and Mrs. Xing's funeral was delayed for another year, so it is not out of line to handle this matter now.

After all, Jia Qian and Jia Qing had a family long before Mrs. Xing passed away, and now they are just officially going through the procedure.

Coupled with the way Jia's mother is now, if their sisters don't go out of line now, if Jia's mother has anything to do in the coming year, I'm afraid that it will be delayed for another two years.

At that time, it is too late to get married.

Fortunately, the Jia family is not enough, and the relatives can still borrow people.

The specific banquets, entertaining guests and other things are cooked by the two young grandmothers of the Zhang family, dowry or something, Jia Yu has already been prepared.

Jia Yu bought a lot of land in the first few years, although he set a lot of land as a sacrifice field, he still had a lot of land in his hands, so the dowry Zhuangzi of Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters did not use the 200,000 taels of dowry silver, but Jia Yu directly picked two from the existing Zhuangzi in his hand, each of which was 100 hectares, that is, 10,000 acres of land. These two Zhuangzi alone are worth 120,000 taels of silver each, and some of them are in Gyeonggi, and they are connected together, and the actual price of these two Zhuangzi will rise by at least 10%.

The wood of the wedding furniture was the year when the Grand View Garden was built, and the fine red sandalwood and huanghuali that Jia Jiu got through the Daomen had already been lying in the Jia family's warehouse. When the Liang family and the Yan family sent the tokens, Jia Jiu had already asked the skilled craftsmen of the Daomen to make furniture for Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters in the other courtyard, all of which were in full sets. Whether it is the new furniture with the Jia family, or the old furniture in the Han and Tang styles with the Yan family, it is complete.

These also didn't cost much.

The rest is just clothes, jewelry, and all kinds of bits and pieces.

The bride is naturally an indispensable piece of clothing and jewelry, in addition to buying and customizing the bride's head jewelry with cash, she also specially invited a craftsman to melt the old jewelry of Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters.

In the past few years that Jia Qian and Jia Qing have been in the Jia family, their clothes and jewelry are all superior. The old gold and silver jewellery was taken out and melted and beaten into a new style; The jewels were also taken out and refurbished, and put into the jewelry box along with the jade jewelry. Jia Jiu also gave a lot of fine pearls and gemstones, as well as some antique ornaments that are not eye-catching, have no special marks and no special significance.

In this way, if the general dowry placement method is followed, I am afraid that the dowry of Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters will exceed 200 each.

Therefore, those jewelry boxes or something, others are a set of heads, and one box is considered a lift, while Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters are stacked with several jewelry boxes in a box, and a box is counted as a lift. The jewelry box was so stuffed that every time I lifted the jewelry, it was almost two hundred pounds, and I had to let two strong men carry it out the door.

The same is true of the clothes boxes, which are stuffed to the brim.

I heard that the Jia family was going to marry a girl, and the soldiers at the border sent a lot of good skins. These skins were carefully nitrated, and they were specially sent, and these alone saved fifty or sixty thousand silver.

So that the dowry was completed, Jia Yu looked down and saw that there were still nearly 200,000 taels of silver in his hand.

Jia Yu waved his hand, added some more, and then divided it equally. Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters each got 120,000 taels of money.

Some people say that the dowry of Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters is too extravagant, but when they saw the dowry sent by the Liang family and the Yan family, everyone kept their mouths shut.

After all, the Liang family and the Yan family sent them were all real thirty-six dowry gifts, especially the Yan family, and many of the things sent by the Yan family were two antiques with a history of thousands of years. Such a thing, put in someone else's home, can be regarded as a family heirloom, the Jia family really can't take out such a profound thing, and can only buy a dowry with full sincerity.

Jia Yu is not the wife of King Jia Zheng, taking her children in exchange for benefits. After he saw the things sent by the Liang family and the Yan family, he broke them up, put them all into the dowry, and carried them back with the dowry.

Jia Yu's behavior made the people in Beijing who were familiar with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's style look at him with admiration.

And the people who originally came to add makeup on the face of the Liang family and the Yan family, when they saw Jia Yu behaving like this, they couldn't help but be a lot more generous.

When Jia Yu came out of the Sect, he broke off contact with the old friends of the former Rongguo Mansion. Now that Jia Yu is marrying his granddaughter, most of the people who come to add makeup to Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters are Jia Yu's fox friends and fellow classmates of Jia Lian, and then they are the people in the Taoist sect who look at Jia Jiu's face.

Needless to say, Jia Yu's fox friends and dog friends, these people are all well-known old gentlemen in Beijing, who have money in their families, loose hands, and are all people who have wine and are drunk today. Of course, this kind of preciousness is only within the scope of Jia Yu's level.

Jia Lian's classmates and colleagues have average family backgrounds, and the things they give are average, which is several levels worse than the makeup given by Jia Lian's group of fox friends and dogs.

What really makes people helpless is the group of people from the Taoist Gate and the Confucian Gate. The things they give are really hard to value. If it's for jewelry or something, then forget it, but you can give an inkstone, it's still old. You said that people are newly married, and you send an old inkstone, will the next person not underestimate it? The people below were stunned for a long time, not knowing where to put them, and then Jia Yu came over to take a look. Okay, the Chengni inkstone of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, as well as the inscriptions of famous artists, have a history of 700 years. If this wasn't someone else's makeup, Jia Yu wanted to keep it for himself. Now I can only watch my favorite antiques leave me.

In short, because of this makeup, Jia Yu was impetuous. The original good mood was also disturbed by this piece of antiques, and in the end, he could only rudely order the people below to wrap up and pack things directly. (To be continued......)
