059 Go home
On the day Jia Jiu left the palace, Jia Lian took people to wait outside the Di'an Gate early. On this day, being like Jia Lian is not one or two, but the ministry is also very simply on vacation.
The show girl in the general election, as long as she is not branded, is likely to be the main room of the imperial concubine or the nobles and clansmen of the royal palaces in the future. In this great Qi where the imperial power is supreme, who would not be happy to make it convenient for these show girls who passed the general election. To put it more bluntly, with such a big piece of sky, who knows which cloud above has rain.
When following up the palace, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing went in according to their grades, wearing big dresses, and sitting in the public opinion, and when they came out, they also came out according to the grade, wearing big dresses, and sitting in the public opinion. Jia Lian walked in front in an official sedan chair. When his father is not at home, he is in charge, even if there are countless things he wants to ask his sister, it is not easy to say it on the street, even if this is the official road of the royal street that ordinary people can't walk.
In Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother also got the news, and hugged Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu, looking worried. Jia Jiu hid many things from Jia's mother, and Jia Yu stood on her daughter's side and chose the same attitude as her daughter, so Jia's mother didn't know many things. For example, Jia's mother didn't know that Jia Jiu gave the red lotus to the emperor for nothing, in exchange for the opportunity to save her father and brother. For another example, Jia Jiu's design for several princesses to join forces with Daomen Confucianism to settle those homeless people, Jia's mother didn't know at all.
Therefore, in the eyes of Jia's mother, her granddaughter Jia Jiu, except for her father's military merits, her brother's decency, and the Daomen looming behind him, there is no other bargaining chip.
These days, Jia Mu is also muttering secretly in her heart. This granddaughter is not so stubborn. If it wasn't for the bad relationship with the Wang family, you would have been able to see the power of the Wang family and the Xue family. If, there is no such thing as dividing the sect. Maybe with the old face of the family, the four kings and eight princes can borrow strength.
However, Jia's mother also admitted that with Mrs. Wang's ability and means, she would definitely leave all the resources of the Jia family to her daughter Jia Yuanchun, not to mention drinking soup with her, if there was no division of the family. This granddaughter can't even see Youxing'er.
Mother Jia once thought about whether she should come forward to help this granddaughter by herself. But when he thought of Jia Yu's appearance, he was congested again.
In Jia's mother's eyes, Jia Yu is a stone in a thatched house, smelly and hard, and she doesn't know how to turn at all. That was the case back then. The same is true for Jia Jiu now. If he is willing to bow down. Jia Jiu has long been designated as the imperial concubine, why should he be frightened here and worry about his granddaughter's future?
As soon as she thought of this, Jia Mu was deflated again. His two sons, the eldest son disdains those means, and the younger son is the younger daughter-in-law who is too capable and can use any means. In Jia's mother's opinion, whether it is Jia Jiu or Jia Yuanchun in the palace, the future is worrying.
Jia Jiu is just like his father. Or that he doesn't know how to use those means, and his uprightness gives him a headache; Jia Yuanchun has too many means. Once known by the above, it will definitely be rejected.
However, no matter what, in Jia Mu's opinion, Jia Jiu always has more opportunities than Jia Yuanchun. However, Jia Jiu's age is too young, he is only thirteen years old this year, and he was born in Layue. At such an age, the body has not grown. If you enter the palace this year, it will not be conducive to the inheritance, and it will not be conducive to the heirs. In the long run, it would be better to run in the general election in three years' time. It's too risky to want to get a future when you enter the palace this time.
Jia Mu never considered the possibility that Jia Jiu would be branded. In his mind, Jia Jiu's results are nothing more than two: one is to get Ruyi, that is, the rhythm of entering the palace immediately; One is to get the sachet, which means that you will have to run in another general election three years later.
Jia Mu hugged Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun left and right, but she couldn't help but be born, and his love obviously affected Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun. Jia Baoyu won't think as much as Jia Mu. In his eyes, Jia Jiu can come back and continue to live under the same roof with him, even if Jia Jiu doesn't feel good about him and doesn't see him often, as long as he can continue to live together, Jia Baoyu is very happy.
Jia Baoyu pulled Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, the second sister is back." I said that the second sister should be at home for a long time. The sisters and sisters live together and are happy. The old lady doesn't have to worry about it every day, and she can use two more bowls of rice, which is better than anything else. β
Aunt Xue sat down and said with a smile: "Old lady, Baoyu is really filial. β
Mother Jia patted Jia Baoyu and said, "Yes, Baoyu is a filial person, otherwise, why would I love him among so many grandchildren." I'm also old and useless, I just hope that Baoyu can be good and happy in front of me. As for me, I ate and slept every day, slept and ate, and then talked and laughed with my grandchildren, and the day was over. β
Aunt Xue said: "On such a day, the gods can't ask for it." β
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I haven't seen Bao Ya for some days, how is he?" Why don't you come to me? β
Aunt Xue didn't know how to answer. Although it is said that sending Xue Baochai has been the wish of the Xue family for many years, and it is also Xue Baochai's own wish, but when is it now, it is the day when Jia Jiu, who participated in the general election, will go home. The three girls of the Jia family were able to participate in the general election and enter and leave the palace in and out of the court, but his daughter could only participate in the small election, and she had to worry about being tripped up and swept away. It's okay to change to another day, and on the day when Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing, who participated in the general election today, go home, Aunt Xue is really hard to open her mouth.
Just when Aunt Xue was anxious about her clumsiness and couldn't find suitable words, the girl outside came in to report and just relieved Aunt Xue.
"Old lady, our girl is back, and she is coming in from the Yimen."
When Jia Mu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. I can't care about Xue Baochai. When he mentioned Xue Baochai to Xue Baochai, it was just a courtesy, and at this moment, the most important thing was his own granddaughter.
There was also a new round of fluctuations in the human feelings in the house. Mother Jia is happy, Shi Xiangyun, who is good at observing words and feelings, is naturally happy, and the girl below is naturally happy.
Jia's mother hugged Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu. I kept looking outside, and I always felt that time was passing a little slowly. I felt that after a long time, I saw Jia Lian with her sister and two nieces coming in.
Jia Lian, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qing, and Jia Qing greeted Jia's mother as soon as they entered the door. Jia Mu hurriedly helped Jia Lian and Jia Jiu up: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." I couldn't help but ask: "Is it Ruyi or Sachet?" β
Jia Jiu hurriedly replied: "Back to the old lady, it's a sachet." As he spoke, he took out the sachet and showed it to Jia's mother, and Jia Qian and Jia Qing also took out their own sachets.
Jia Mu saw that it was not bad as she expected, and the stone in her heart was also put down.
Just as he guessed, if Jia Jiu and a few of them would enter the palace this time. is still young, first, he can't be favored, and second, it's not good for his heirs. Although it was a little difficult to settle, Jia's mother still preferred to keep the three children for three more years.
Jia Baoyu was still interested in Jia Jiu's sachet, and when he saw that the sachet Jia Jiu got was not as good as what his girl made for him, he couldn't help but lack interest.
It's Shi Xiangyun. To Jia Jiu's affairs in the palace. I couldn't help but ask again and again.
"Second sister, when you enter the palace this time, you don't have to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess, right? What does the palace look like? Are all those girls like fairies? β
Jia Jiu smiled: "Look at what Sister Yun said." We show girls are not qualified to live in the harem, although it is a general election, we can only live in the north palace. Her Royal Highness the princess also lives in the North Palace, but they often meet, and as for the ladies above, they all live in the harem. If they hadn't traveled to the North Palace, or had they summoned us to their palace. We show girls can't meet them, let alone meet them. β
"Doesn't that mean that the second sister doesn't even know what those palace concubines look like?"
Jia Jiu nodded and said, "When I entered the palace for the first time when I was eight years old, I also saw Duanli Guifei Niangniang, who had already gone, and at that time, he was indeed the first beauty in the harem. But after all these years, Duanli Guifei Niangniang is no longer there, and a few familiar old faces are gone. There are a lot of new faces. It's just that the position of those new faces is not very high, and they only glanced at it from a distance outside the Jiaotai Palace, so they didn't pay attention. β
Shi Xiangyun nodded.
He was just curious. Compared to Jia Baoyu, he is really interested in those harem women. Even if he can't get close to Fangze, it doesn't prevent him from getting obscene.
Jia Baoyu said: "Second sister, was the Duanli concubine really the first beauty in the harem?" What does he look like? How tall is it? What is the temperament? ......" crackled a series of questions, and Jia Mu's heart was crispy when she heard it.
There is a saying that you don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night.
The ancients were superstitious and believed that mentioning the dead at dusk and after dusk could easily attract evil spirits. Mother Jia didn't even want to mention her dead husband, let alone a woman who died in the palace.
Jia Mu didn't wait for Jia Jiu to answer, so she said: "These days, the second girl is very tired in the palace. Second girl, I won't keep you anymore, you go back and have a good rest. "Jia Baoyu hasn't been answered yet, where is he willing to follow? It was Jia's mother who spoke, and he quieted down: "Okay, Baoyu." Your second sister is also cautious in the palace, he finally came back, and it is time to rest. You just let your second sister go back to recuperate first. Hengzhi has come back, and when he recovers his spirits, how many words do you have to ask? β
Jia Baoyu stopped making trouble. Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing hurriedly got up, thanked Jia's mother, and went back. Jia Lian also stayed in front of Jia's mother for a while, but he didn't stay long and left.
When he returned to his house, Jia Jiu took off his makeup, and saw Qiu Dianzan and other women-level maids standing on the side, and did not leave, and couldn't help but say, "Is there something wrong with the four aunts?" β
Qiu Dianzan nodded and said, "Yes." Jun Jun is now an adult, and there are some things that we can't hide anymore. I hereby ask the county monarch to keep a distance from that second master. β
Jia Jiu hadn't reacted yet: "What? β
Qiu Dian sighed and said, "In the days when the county monarch was not at home, we took care of the affairs of the inner house on behalf of the county monarch, but we didn't go to the lady's house, nor did we pay attention to the affairs of the second master. Today, I learned that the girl next to the second master of Bao was no longer the girl's body......"
Jia Jiu lowered his head and muttered, "He wasn't a girl a year ago. β
Qiu Dianzan didn't hear clearly, and hurriedly asked, "Junjun, may I ask what you are talking about?" β
Jia Jiu said: "I want to ask, when is this?" How did the aunts find out? β
These words, how can Qiu Dianzan, these female officials who have never been married, speak? It's just that Qiu Dianzan also knows that this kind of thing is not good to hide all the time. Moreover, as the highest-ranking and most powerful heroine in the Jia family's house besides Jia's mother, Jia Jiu also needs to know certain things.
Qiu Dianzan paused and said, "Jun Jun, in fact, we didn't pay attention to this attack before. I only know that a year ago, he was already broken. At that time, we only thought that this girl had someone outside. How could it be that after a year's observation, especially during the days when Jun Jun was not at home, we actually heard that the attacker turned out to be the pet of the second master...... The county monarch is going to participate in the general election in three years, and he is too close to him, I'm afraid it's not good......"
Jia Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand what my aunt means." My aunt is saying that my cousin is already an adult, and I will continue to be the same as before, and my reputation is not good. That's what my aunt meant, right? β
Qiu Dianzan hurriedly bowed and said yes.
Under the service of the girls, Jia Jiu changed into light clothes, and then came out from behind the screen and said, "Auntie, about this attack, in fact, I have been paying attention since I beat him to serve Sister Yun. He's a great guy. looks like not fighting or grabbing, but it is actually very scheming. Looking at the loyal and honest, when serving the old lady, there is only the old lady in his heart, and when he serves Sister Yun, there is only one Sister Yun in his heart. He was also considerate of people, so that Sister Yun regarded him as her own, and later personally recommended him to the old lady, and asked the old lady to give him to Baoyu ......"
"Junjun?"
Jia Jiu sighed and did not continue.
After being in the palace for so long, he has also changed. The speech is no longer so straightforward, and it has a bit of the way the palace people speak. The few words he said were obviously praising the attacker for serving people and being able to serve Jia Mu and Shi Xiangyun comfortably, but in fact, he was saying that the attacker was actually playing a lot of tricks, so that Shi Xiangyun only believed him.
Jia Jiu even believed that if it weren't for the attack on Shi Xiangyun's ears to say something that he didn't have, and brought Shi Xiangyun to ruin, Shi Xiangyun might not have become the naΓ―ve appearance he was later. (To be continued......)
