In fact, after entering September, the people in Jingshi have no expectations for this year's palace concubine election. Everyone knows that in the general election of palace concubines, the process of physical examination alone will take about a month, plus a character assessment or something, and it will not be possible to do it without three or four months of effort. It is impossible for the palace to leave these show girls in the palace for the New Year, so the people who have a number in their hearts gradually raise their spirits after September, waiting for the emperor or long live to make a move.

As a result, the news from the palace did not come out, and Mrs. Xing disappeared first.

Shady people will say that the Jia family did it themselves, but some people are muttering behind their backs, if it is really not a coincidence or that the Xing family's life has been counted, then it is really impossible to say who did it.

After arranging the mourning hall, Jia Yu immediately found Shang Qingyi and discussed with the other party whether to let the merchant girl enter the door. Round house or something, you can talk about it later, it's really their three girls in the Jia family, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing, are not young, and when Mrs. Xing's mourning period has passed, it is another year, and Mrs. Xing's life is close to the end of the year, so if you count it, isn't it two years to delay going out? At that time, even Jia Jiu was nineteen, not to mention the two nieces below. Besides, this funeral and the like are not good for Jia Jiu, the girl's family, to come forward to preside.

Shang Qingyi considered that his sister was not young, and after handling Mrs. Xing's funeral, it would also be beneficial to her sister's future, so she had to go back and discuss it with her sister, and reached a consensus.

The merchant girl knew very well that since he had been given a marriage by the emperor, no matter what happened in the future. He is a member of the Jia family, even if he doesn't marry now, something will happen to the Jia family in the future. He must also be widowed for the rest of his life, and it is still unknown whether the Jia family and the Rongguo Marquis Mansion will have an accident at that time.

The merchant girl is also very clear about her fate. Just like Jia Jiu is the emperor and the object of competition today, he has also become one of the pawns of the emperor to win over Jia Jiu.

The merchant girl's biggest wish now is to hope that his future husband Jia Lian will not stay away from him because of this. And the most important thing for him at the moment is not to seize the power of the Jia family and hold the Jia family in his hands. Rather, it is to give birth to a son in the fastest possible time. Only by giving birth to a son can he gain a firm foothold in the Jia family. It doesn't matter if it's the emperor, or if it's the family. At that time, it is useful in ordinary times, but it may not be able to become his reliance at critical moments.

The merchant girl nodded. Things got into place quickly. The merchant girl is not young. His dowry was prepared by the family since he was born, and now he is married early, and it is only a little bit of a little addition. Even the wedding dress was started after the emperor gave the marriage, and now it is complete.

The Jia family and the merchant invited the official media and the prime minister, and the matchmaker of the two families almost broke his leg, and finally carried the merchant girl back.

Because it was in Mrs. Xing's filial piety. Jia Lian and the merchant girl's wedding was not very lively, and the red wedding dress was changed into filial piety clothes before it was even worn on the third watch.

Mrs. Xing passed away. All the people I knew and didn't know in the capital came, and Xue Pan also came, and when he saw that Mrs. Xing's coffin was not good enough, he hurriedly said: "The house is so rich, but this thing is not good enough." In my shop, there is an old tree from Huanghai Iron Net Mountain prepared by Prince Yizhong in the old year, because he has broken something, so he has kept it. I'm going to ask someone to move in. ”

Panicked, Jia Yu hurriedly stopped and said, "Since it was set by Lao Chitose, how can Neiko be matched?" Moreover, Lian'er's mother only uses fir boards, not to mention his steproom? ”

No matter what Xue Pan said, Jia Yu shook his head and refused, still only willing to use the old fir plank.

Mrs. Xing's younger brother Xing Dequan and others heard that the Xue family had such a good thing, and they were all geared up and excited. Xing Dequan and the others' thoughts are very simple, that is, the more decent Mrs. Xing's future affairs are, the more their faces will shine.

Not to mention anything else, Jia Cong and Jia Jiu are still recorded in the name of Mrs. Xing, and they are the serious sons and daughters of the Jia family. If Jia Lian has something in case and does not leave a man, then Jia Cong is qualified to inherit everything in the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion, and they are the serious maternal uncles of the next Rong Guohou.

The Xing family never expected that Jia Yu would shake his head and refuse, and he would not even prepare for the 7749-day dojo, and even insisted that Mrs. Xing's funeral could not exceed that of Jia Lian's biological mother. Xing Dequan wanted to make trouble, but when he was making a scene, someone told him that if he dared to make trouble, someone would dare to throw him out, which scared Xing Dequan to be honest immediately.

Not to mention what Mrs. Xing's mother's brother and daughter-in-law thought in their hearts, the people who saw Jia Yu and Xue Pan's answer, whether it was the Zhang family or other people's families, all nodded secretly, thinking that Jia Yu was not only a rule-abiding person, but also one of the few people in the Jia family who had brains.

When Zhang died, Jia Yu was just a first-class Shenwei general, but now Jia Yu is the Marquis of Rongguo, with different statuses, and when the two wives go, their identities are naturally different. When the Zhang family died, it was just the order of the first-class Shenwei general, and Mrs. Xing, who was lying there, was the order of Mrs. Rongguohou. If he really left from the edict, Mrs. Xing's funeral exceeded that of the Zhang family, and no one said anything.

But Jia Yu insisted that Mrs. Xing's funeral specifications could not exceed Zhang's, and even asked Mrs. Xing's funeral specifications not to stand side by side with Zhang's, looking at the rules that she was guarding the steproom and not exceeding the original match, and not letting Mrs. Xing cross Zhang's family, and some people muttered behind her back that Jia Yu was changing the formula to please the Zhang family, but in fact, everyone knew that Jia Yu was doing this to maintain Jia Lian's status.

People who saw or heard Jia Yu's words and deeds nodded secretly, thinking that although Jia Yu was at home, he didn't come out to socialize, but this really did things in a way that was more disciplined than Jia Zheng.

Of course, some people are speculating behind their backs whether Xue Pan's proposal to give the old wooden coffin for nothing is Wang Ziteng's proposal.

Although Wang Ziteng did those things, although he was robbed of his official position because of the crime of conspiracy, everyone knows that if it was a major crime of conspiracy, I am afraid that he would have been beheaded and dragged down by the nine clans a long time ago, where could he still save his life and take his wife and children south? Therefore, after the prince came back this time, many people mentioned him behind his back. It is said that Wang Ziteng was unlucky at the beginning and didn't know which one he was responsible for, and a considerable number of people thought that Wang Ziteng was about to recover.

This is also why after the prince came back, there were fewer eunuchs who went to Xue's house to fight the autumn wind. The ruffians and hooligans who went to Xue's shop on credit also followed the reason for the decrease.

Even Mrs. Wang thinks that maybe it won't be long before Wang Ziteng recovers.

In Mrs. Wang's eyes, Wang Ziteng didn't have any big deal at all. If it weren't for Wang Xifeng's mouth, if it wasn't for Wang Xifeng causing trouble, if it wasn't for Jia Jiu's jumping up and down, his voice was so loud that he could almost tear the sky apart, if it wasn't for the impeachment folds one after another. Madame Wang firmly believed that his elder brother Wang Ziteng was still sitting in that official position.

Mrs. Wang believed that as long as his brother did his best. His daughter said a few more words in the emperor's ear, and like Jia Zheng, Wang Ziteng would soon be able to get the official position.

Mrs. Wang even felt that Wang Ziteng was going to recover. His own daughter is just the icing on the cake.

Madame Wang had no idea. Based on Wang Ziteng's evaluation of him, Wang Ziteng would not write to him at all and ask him for help unless he had to.

With such an idea, on the eighth day of the lunar month of this year, when she came to Ningguo Mansion to worship her ancestors, Mrs. Wang not only took her daughter-in-law Xia Jingui to wander around Ningguo Mansion, but also came to sit in Jia's mother's courtyard. said that it was to say goodbye to Jia's mother, but this look kept aiming at Jia Lian's wife Shang and Jia Jiu. Seeing the demeanor of the Shang girl, the woman's dress pouted even more.

Even when Xia Jingui gave red envelopes to Jia Jiu and other unmarried girls, Mrs. Wang also said: "Speaking of which, the second girl will be eighteen in the coming year, right?" Qian girl and Qing girl are also going to be nineteen. It's been a fast day, I remember when the second girl first came to the old lady's house, she was wrapped in jade-colored swaddling clothes, and her eyes didn't grow. In a blink of an eye, the second girl is already a big girl. ”

Jia Mu's eyes immediately sharpened.

Jia Jiu didn't seem to feel it, and said, "It's hard for my aunt to remember my niece and daughter." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "Second girl, it's not that the aunt is talkative, it's true, this palace concubine election is a little weird." The last time I entered the palace, your eldest sister also shook her head, but she refused to say anything. Second girl, don't blame the aunt, the aunt has no choice. ”

Hearing Mrs. Wang say this, Jia Mu's face immediately changed.

Mother Jia knows very well the temperament of Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun. He knew that with Mrs. Wang's personality and Jia Yuanchun's character, if their mother and daughter discussed this matter in the palace, it would definitely be extremely unfavorable to Jia Jiu. But in Jia's mother's heart, Jia Yuanchun is simply a person who can't do anything, even if he gives birth to a son, whether he can raise it is one thing, and whether he can raise it under his own name is still unknown.

Compared with Jia Yuanchun, Jia Mu is more willing to believe in Jia Jiu, even if Jia Jiu is almost no longer possible to enter the palace.

In Jia's mother's opinion, Jia Yuanchun entered the palace for the second time, with Jia Jiu's ability, as long as he has this idea, it is not easy to enter the palace?

Jia Jiu said: "Let my aunt bother." However, I have already obtained the Daoist teachings, and after I am filial, I will go back to Yuqing Mountain to participate in the Jinyi Daozi assessment. As for my business, my father is naturally in charge. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "You kid, you are too relieved. When that time comes, there will be any good people to pick for you. ”

Jia Mu finally said: "The second family, since you have separated, you still don't have to worry about the second girl's affairs." This girl belongs to Baoyu's family? The appearance is Peugeot, but I don't know what the temperament is. ”

Jia's mother didn't want Jia Jiu to come out of the tip of other people's tongues, and was counted everywhere in and out of people's words, and everyone was golden, ruining her reputation in vain, and also missing her future, so she immediately changed the topic.

When Xia Jingui heard this, his eyebrows jumped, but he didn't speak.

He is the new daughter-in-law, although Mrs. Wang's words and deeds today are very unruly, but Mrs. Wang is Jia Yuanchun's mother, but he is just the new daughter-in-law. Since it is the first time for the new daughter-in-law to come to the door, even if it is pretending, he has to pretend to be a little obedient.

However, in private, Xia Jingui still looked at all the people in the house, and even compared it with Jia Lian's wife, Shang.

Even if it is a stepmother, Jia Lian has also been in the book and reported Ding Wei. Although his position as the governor of Tongzhou was topped, his official position is still there, and his mother's filial piety is only a year, and at this time next year, I can't say that he will still be remembered.

It's so easy for Jia Lian to recover.

In Xia Jingui's opinion, Shang's appearance and himself are just between Zhong Bo, but he is several years older than himself, and he has had a marriage before, but he can marry a ready-made six-grade official as the original match, but he can only marry a flat-headed person, which is really unfair.

If it were another time, if Mrs. Wang hadn't taken Jia Jiu to talk about things, Xia Jingui would have been half coquettish and half complaining to please Jia's mother, but now, Xia Jingui obviously felt that Jia's mother was in a bad mood immediately after Mrs. Wang spoke. In order to prevent this mother-in-law from getting angry at herself, Xia Jingui cleverly lowered her head and pretended not to know anything.

When Mrs. Wang saw Xia Jingui's appearance, she became angry in her heart.

Aren't you amazing? It's only been less than half a year since you entered the door, and half of the people in the Baoyu House have been sent by you, why are you so honest now?

This is the case with women like Mrs. Wang, when they are daughters-in-law, they always hope that their husbands will only guard themselves. But when she became a mother-in-law, she couldn't wait for her son to have more two-way girls around him, so that he could hug his grandson early.

I only heard Mrs. Wang say: "My daughter-in-law is good, and I can rest assured that she will manage the treasure jade house in a proper manner." It's Lian'er, he has to keep filial piety now, those people in the house, Lian's daughter-in-law, you have to take care of it, don't make trouble with the child, it will hinder Lian'er's future. ”

Shang was stunned, and Jia Jiu said: "My aunt's words are so strange. My brother doesn't have any roommates. My father is strict, and my brother is still used by his little guy and mother-in-law. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "Second girl, this is a matter in your brother's house. ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's really because I'm an aunt, so I said this to my aunt." It is clearly written in the national law that officials can only take concubines if they have no children in their thirties. With my brother like this, I married my sister-in-law and entered the door, so I should wait for two years. If you just listen to your aunt, you think that your aunt is asking your sister-in-law to buy a room for her brother's concubine earlier. spread the word, let the elder brother be impeached by the imperial history, let the aunt be laughed at, and even the big sister in the palace would be not good. ”

Mrs. Wang's face immediately changed.

He thought that Jia Yuanchun had become the imperial concubine, and this time the palace concubine election had failed again, how could Jia Jiu be soft on him, but he never imagined that Jia Jiu was so tough that he still dared to talk back to him. (To be continued......)
