Even if the two sisters reached an agreement, they still couldn't find a chance to talk to Jia Jiu. Next is the New Year, Jia Jiu is busy with various matters of the sacrifice and is too busy, Xiao Nian has to enter the palace to kowtow, Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, after kowtowing to the ancestors, he has to go to the palace to kowtow and lead the palace banquet. It turned out that there was no time to spare.

What made them even more anxious was that Jia Mu's face really had all kinds of worries, and even occasionally followed them juniors to wipe dominoes, and they would start to be stunned when they played.

No, the juniors are here with Jia's mother that day, Aunt Xue and You Li Kun sat with Jia's mother to wipe the dominoes, Jia Jiu arranged the trivial things in the kitchen, and also came over, as soon as Jia's mother saw this granddaughter, she didn't care about playing cards, and immediately beckoned, letting Jia Jiu sit next to him and show cards for him.

Jia Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the mandarin duck who gave up his seat for him, and said with a smile: "Old lady, you are looking for the wrong person." Granddaughters don't do that. ”

Jia Mu said: "I won't go to school." Will you marry in the future, won't you be at all? If you were told to wipe the dominoes, you pushed it too? ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Look at what the old lady said, this new daughter-in-law enters the door, naturally she is a junior, and the mother-in-law of several layers in the family will not be able to win it." If he is lucky enough to live long enough and becomes an old feudal monarch, he doesn't want to win, and some people rush to send money to him. Will there be any tension? ”

You Shi smiled at the time: "Second sister's mouth, I don't know how he grows." He has sharp teeth, and he doesn't know which one will stand him in the future! ”

Jia Mu snorted angrily: "This girl, I don't know when she became so sharp-tongued." It's not love to make people hate, and I can't wait to pull him over and hammer him twice......"

Jia Jiu stood beside Jia's mother with a smile and said with a smile: "My granddaughter is here." Let the old lady hammer. ”

Jia Mu snorted and said, "Don't, I'm afraid my hands hurt." Saying that, Jia Jiu nodded again: "You girl, but you have eaten me." ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "It's also the old lady who feels sorry for her granddaughter, so her granddaughter dares to be pampered and arrogant." ”

Mother Jia said to Aunt Xue: "Look at it, this child is still like a child when he is so old." None of them will back down. I envy the treasure girl of my aunt's family, who is quiet, like him. Leather monkey general. ”

Aunt Xue said: "I envy the old lady for having such a capable granddaughter. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to flick his fingers. ”

Jia Mu snorted and said, "Today, I owe my aunt and wife to intercede for you." I haven't thanked my aunt and wife. ”

Jia Jiu generously thanked Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue hurriedly got up and said she didn't dare.

After the ceremony. Sit down. started a new round of dominoes, holding a pair of leopards in her hands, but Jia Mu frowned, and said: "Speaking of which, the boss has always been the most reassuring to me, I used to annoy him for not knowing maintenance, but now it seems that he is a measured person." Lian'er is capable. The second girl and his two nieces and nephews are also knighted, and they will not be far from in the future. But what can the second family do? These days. When I thought about this, I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't even eat. ”

As soon as Jia Mu said this, Li Kun and Jia Jiu hurriedly got up to confess, and Jia Qian, Jia Qing, Jia Baoyu Tanchun and others who were sitting on the side also stood up.

Mother Jia said to Li Kun: "Daughter-in-law Zhu, this matter has nothing to do with you. You just have to take care of Lan'er. ”

After Jia's mother finished speaking, Jia Baoyu and the others sat down, but Li Kun looked at Jia Jiu and didn't dare to sit.

Xue Baochai, who was sitting next to Aunt Xue and reading the cards for Aunt Xue, immediately spoke: "Last time, when we were in the second sister's house, we also mentioned this matter, and the second sister also said that although there are other ways to let the second master go up, but that will be a repeat of the mistakes of the past after all." If you want the second master to get real power, you must wait for the second master to pass the internal official examination of the six departments. I heard that there has been a serious shortage of people outside in the past two years, and I don't know what the result of the second master is. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she was immediately deflated.

If this son is really a useful person, where would he be cheeky to beg Jia Jiu at this big festival?

The official examination of the six departments, when Jia Zheng was a member of the Ministry of Works, Jia's mother tried it. Back then, Jia Zheng was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Labor, and Jia's mother thought that this son was very capable, and she wanted to arrange another position for him, so she promoted his official position, but who would have thought that Jia Zheng would sit in the position of a member of the Ministry of Labor for five years. Jia's mother saw that there was no way, seeing that her son was chanting poems and painting at home every day, drinking and feasting with Qing guests, and after scolding Mrs. Wang for not being dedicated to her husband, she still sent someone to the sixth department to inquire about Jia Zheng.

Later, Jia's mother learned that the people of the Sixth Department first suspected that Jia Zheng was born in Enyin and had no fame, and then because Jia Zheng couldn't do things, everything that passed through his hands would be a mess even if it was originally orderly. Originally, if you don't know how to do it, you can learn it slowly, but Jia Zheng doesn't even know how to ask others.

came and went, and the people in the Ministry of Industry were also tired of Jia Zheng, which made Jia Zheng sit on the cold bench.

Jia's mother also thought that since the Ministry of Industry is not good, then let her son go to the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Rites, especially the Ministry of Rites, there is not much to do, noble and idle. Where did you think that officials who were not from the Jinshi branch didn't want it, and it was easy to open up the joints for Jia Zheng, and as a result, Jia Zheng was brushed off at the level of the official examination.

In other people's words, Jia Zheng is very powerful in putting on a show and playing prestige, and if he asks him to do things seriously, he will be blind. Therefore, Jia Zheng has been sitting in the position of a member of the Ministry of Labor for more than ten years.

Now, when it comes to the official examination again, Jia Mu's heart will feel better. It's just such a humiliating thing, and it is impossible for him to tell the juniors in the Sù family, let alone let outsiders know.

Jia Mu said: "Of course, it is one way, but it is good to have one more way." Second girl, do you have any news? ”

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Now that the imperial court is short of people, the alternate officials who are seeking a real shortage are even more endless. Although there was a lot of commotion below, I heard that the above were very dissatisfied with this. At this moment, I can't move. ”

Jia Mu listened, threw down the dominoes in her hand, and said, "What a thing." ”

You immediately shouted, "Leopard, the old lady has won." ”

The little girl on the side immediately grabbed the copper coin and put it in front of Jia's mother. The same is true for Aunt Xue and Li Kun's girl.

Mother Jia was worried about her son, even if she won money under this big festival, she was not happy, so she directly asked those little girls to withdraw from the table. The copper coins on the table were also rewarded to these little girls. When the house was cleaned up and another tea fruit was served, Mother Jia said: "Second girl, under this big festival, you shouldn't have to mention things, but your eldest sister has been in the palace for several years, and there is no movement at all." Last general election. Many of the nouveau riche have been canonized, but your eldest sister still hasn't been promoted. I'm always anxious in my heart. You sue me. In the past year, you have often been in and out of the court, and you have seen your eldest sister? ”

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "Old lady, my granddaughter entered the palace to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess. The princesses live in the North Palace. It's not close to where the concubine lives. Besides, the palace is heavily guarded, where can you walk around at will? Even if there are more than 100,000 attendants in the palace, but when you look up, the palace is majestic, and it is empty. Old lady, since the eldest sister is a palace concubine, there is no permission from above. Where can you move around freely. ”

As soon as Jia Mu wanted to reprimand her nonsense, she heard Jia Jiu say in a low voice: "Old lady." Since this is said, the granddaughter can't care about not saying unlucky things under this big festival. Old lady, you see, every time there is a general election, there are thirty or forty concubines in this palace, but what about the long-lived concubines now? The nine concubines are still more than half empty, and the four concubines are also dissatisfied. But Banzai is not stingy in some things. Old lady, I'm afraid that there are not a few mothers who go to this palace every year. Although there is no news of our big sister in our family, this is not good news. As long as the big sister is okay, there will be no chance in the future. ”

Although this is not what Jia Mu wants, it is the most real.

Mother Jia sighed and said, "I think at the beginning, your eldest sister was still enlightening Baoyu, and in the blink of an eye, it has been almost ten years since he entered the palace. In the early years, his mother sent silver to this daughter with great effort, and the money spent was enough to buy a big estate for your second uncle's family. But your big sister never got up. used to be a female history, and now she is a female picker, and she has been in this position for several years. Second girl, I'm really unwilling to do this in my heart. If you had used this money to buy an estate for your second uncle, your second uncle would not have been so difficult, and I would have been able to rest assured for a hundred years. Can ...... now Alas! ”

Jia's mother never mentioned that Jia Yu had given up his property.

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Back then, that Wang woman once said such a sentence, if a man can't hold up, no matter how capable a woman is, it's useless. Although Wang's daughter is not a good person, he has a lot of things that make sense. ”

Because Jia Zheng is an elder, Jia Jiu still retains some measure.

When Jia Mu heard this, she sighed and said, "How did I not know this?" What's the matter, your second uncle is already old, and the chances of going up are getting slimmer and slimmer. If you knew this, you might as well not send your big sister into the palace. ”

Xue Baochai's eyes jumped. If Jia Yuanchun did not enter the palace, but chose to marry, then the person who entered the palace might be him, and he also had the confidence to enter the emperor's eyes and become the emperor's favorite concubine. What's the matter, this opportunity was taken away by Jia Yuanchun after all.

What kind of meaning is entering the palace for the Xue family, I believe that there is no one here who is not clear. But he lost that opportunity after all.

At this moment, a wave of anger rose in Xue Baochai's heart, but he was forced to suppress it again.

Jia Jiu obviously didn't expect Jia Mu to think like this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she also understood.

He is favored in the palace, not only because he is Princess Changle's life-saving benefactor, nor because Princess Changle can't leave him, but because his influence on the emperor is increasing.

Princess Changle suffered such a big grievance outside, and her own mother was gone, of course the emperor would often visit his daughter, and after coming and going, he became familiar with Jia Jiu, Jia Qian and others. Of course, the emperor remembered the matter of Hongjiao, as well as Jia Jiu's influence on the border pass. Therefore, every time I come to Princess Changle, as long as Jia Jiu is in front of her, she will naturally talk to Jia Jiu. And since Jia Jiu wants to implement that big plan, he naturally needs to explain to the emperor, and in order to show his submission to the emperor, he asked the emperor to be a staff officer and help with the deduction.

The emperor discovered the mystery of that grand plan, and was very satisfied with Jia Jiu's decision to act in the name of Princess Changle. In the emperor's opinion, this property is in the name of his daughter, and naturally it belongs to him, and only by nodding his head can this plan be implemented smoothly. Similarly, a large number of people who went out of the palace in this plan put the whole plan under their own surveillance.

What's more. Jia Jiu's prudence, every detail has to be deduced many times, and many palace people, including the maids and officials, have to participate in the deduction, and so many preparations are just to find the most reasonable plan, this kind of serious attitude. also hit the emperor's cuteness.

Although the emperor did not give Jia Jiu the title again, there were always a lot of rewards or anything, and the emperor often talked to Jia Jiu here in Princess Changle. This is no secret, and the Xue family and the Jia family naturally have their own channels to get this news.

In Jia's mother's eyes, Jia Jiu's granddaughter's weight is naturally getting heavier and heavier. In contrast, it is natural to regret that Jia Yuanchun did not play his due role. If Jia Yuanchun has Jia Jiu's two hits. Then he would have risen a long time ago. Instead of continuing to be his picker.

Hengzhu Jia Jiu is Jia Yu's daughter, and she is going to go there after all. But Jia Yuanchun is different, if he doesn't enter the palace, he can marry into everyone to be a young grandmother. In that way, his youngest son will naturally have an extra boost.

However, it is too late to say any of this. Who made Jia Yuanchun already the emperor's woman.

After living under the same roof for so long, Jia Jiu will not be ignorant of Jia Jiu's affairs, and Jia Jiu will not be unable to guess Jia Jiu's thoughts.

Merely. Bet on your own marriage, this kind of thing. Jia Jiu couldn't do it. In his opinion, the real political family should be loyal to himself and his feelings, and the kind of person who uses his marriage as a bargaining chip cannot be called a political family at all.

Those emperors in history, relying on women's nepotism, ascending to that position, waiting for themselves to sit firmly in that chair, and then abolishing the innocent queen, and putting their own pets on the throne, such emperors, they cannot be called political zhì families. Because when they do this, they have already set a bad example for the country, and doing so also means that the country's strength has begun to fade, and it will not be a few generations before war will come.

It's just that Jia Jiu has always hidden these thoughts in his heart.

Although the two ancestors and grandchildren were sitting affectionately, their eyes were not right, their hearts were difficult to understand, and they actually had their own ideas and calculations.

Mother Jia wanted to send Jia Jiu to the palace, but Jia Jiu didn't want to be a princess at all.

Qin Keqing, who was waiting below, could also be regarded as a smart person, and immediately noticed that Jia Mu and Jia Jiu's expressions were wrong. He was also very concerned about Jia Jiu, so he could naturally guess a few points, and immediately smiled: "Second aunt, when will you go to Yuqing Mountain this year?" ”

How could Jia Jiu tell him that he would turn from light to dark? He only mentioned this once in front of Jia Yu.

Jia Jiu said: "At the beginning, Daokui taught me to learn the qin, in order to neutralize the evil spirit in my swordsmanship. But who would have thought that in the past few years, the evil qi in my swordsmanship has not only not subsided, but has intensified. Although it is said that it is because he is worried that his father will be excusable, the Taoism is the most casual. If you can't adjust your mood, I'm afraid that you will go crazy in the future. Therefore, Dao Kui asked me to cultivate myself at home, when my piano sound returned to the right path, when to see him again. ”

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Okay, you were young that day, I thought, there are no good gentlemen outside, and it is good to be able to get Daokui's guidance, and it is also good for your future." It's not that you are asked to become a monk! If you don't go to Yuqing Mountain, you won't go, you still stay at home and prepare for the next election. The same goes for Qian Yatou and Qing Yatou. ”

Jia Jiu and Jia Qian, Jia Qing hurriedly got up and responded.

Mother Jia turned her head again and asked Qin Keqing: "Daughter-in-law Rong, I remember that you have a younger brother in your mother's family, I heard that he is about the same age as Baoyu?" ”

When Qin Keqing heard this, there was a little more smile on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Exactly." My brother is the same year as Uncle Bao, if you talk about height, I'm afraid my brother is slightly taller. Now he is also naughty at home, and his father is old, and he is studying for him. ”

Jia Mu immediately said, "What is this?" I remember that we only accept elementary school students in our home school, right? You're too honest, since there's such a thing, why don't you tell your father-in-law? He is your brother, why can't he go to our Jia family's house to study? Those relatives on the back street are still studying at home. ”

Qin Keqing has always been a careful person, and his family learning is unbearable, Jia Jiu can know it, how can he not know? Jia Jiu would rather let Jia Huan copy books in his yard than let Jia Huan go to home school, and as soon as he paid attention, he naturally knew what the situation was like with home school. Although he is not close to this brother, this brother is his mother's family. As long as his father and brother are there, his waist in the Jia family can also be straighter.

How could Qin Keqing be willing to let his younger brother Qin Zhong go to the messy family school of the Jia family and ruin the future?

Qin Keqing was not easy to explicitly refuse Jia's mother's suggestion, but Jia Baoyu was interested in Qin Keqing.

Since he had a spring dream that year, Jia Baoyu has achieved good things with the attackers, but he always has a thing in his heart. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the sister of the police fairy who was promised to him in his dream should always mean Qin Keqing, so he pays close attention to Qin Keqing's affairs every day. At this time, when he heard Mother Jia mention Qin Keqing's brother, he smiled and said, "Since Rong's daughter-in-law is so good, this mother's brother must also be extraordinary." I don't know when I'll be able to see him. ”

Qin Keqing didn't expect Jia Baoyu to open the meat so early, and he didn't know Jia Baoyu's thoughts, when he heard Jia Baoyu ask him, and he was in front of Jia's mother, he had to say: "In a few days, my brother will come over." It's just that he was born shy, and he hasn't seen a big battle, if there is anything he can't do, please Uncle Bao Haihan. ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said, "What do you look like?" Does it look like you? ”

Jia Mu laughed when she said this: "Since you remember it like this, then wait for the child to come, don't you know?" Why rush?! ”

said that Jia Baoyu hugged Jia's mother's arm and grinded.

At the beginning, Jia Baoyu was dreaming in Jia Zhen's study and shouting Qin Keqing's name, but Jia Rong had been hiding it from Qin Keqing, so Qin Keqing didn't know that there was this public case inside. In addition, Jia Baoyu's appearance is well-born, and he is obviously a lustful person, because of his good skin and consistent temperament of being low and small in front of girls, it did not make Qin Keqing suspicious.

On the contrary, Jia Qian and Jia Qing, who were sitting on the side, heard about this and invariably colored each other.

Tanchun, who was sitting on the side, heard Jia Baoyu say this, and immediately said, "Baoyu, how is it not easy for you to meet Rong's daughter-in-law's brother?" Didn't Fang Cairong's daughter-in-law say that his brother was preparing to go to school, wouldn't it be better to let him go to school with you? You saw him, you read the book, and your father was glad to know it. ”

What Jia Baoyu is most afraid of is his father Jia Zheng, who immediately collapsed when he heard Tanchun mention Jia Zheng, but when he looked back, if he went to home school, his father would be in a good mood, and of course he would not punish him for this. Thinking about it like this, I was happy.

Qin Keqing was in a hurry, and couldn't help but say, "I remember that the third aunt's sibling is also seven years old this year, and it is time to go to school. I don't know if the third aunt has any plans for him? ”

As soon as the words came out, Qin Keqing immediately knew that he had made a mistake.

But now that the Chinese New Year is over, it is impossible for Jia's mother to count him down for such a thing. Moreover, Jia Huan is also the grandson of Jia's mother, although he is a concubine, but Qin Keqing is a grandmother of Sun Mound, and he really can't be wrong about caring about the education of the clansmen.

Jia Mu immediately said: "It's better for you to be careful." If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Huan'er would have reached the age of going to school. In this case, daughter-in-law Zhu, you can also choose a few people for Huan'er, so that he can serve him to go to school. As for Baoyu here, I'll do it. Li Kun on the side immediately responded.

In fact, Jia's mother also knew that it was really not a good decision for Jia Baoyu to go to home school, because the gentleman in the family study was just a show talent after all, but Jia Jing from Ning Guofu was born as a jinshi. If Jia Jing can teach Jia Baoyu, it will naturally be beneficial. But there has always been a dislike between Jia's mother and Jia Jing, and Jia Baoyu's piece of jade is also a heart disease, and Jia's mother doesn't want to talk about this kind of thing, so as not to be bored.

Qin Keqing saw that there was no trace of displeasure on Jia Mu's face, and his heart eased slightly. But after all, he couldn't let go of his worries about Qin Zhong. He knew that Jia Baoyu was not a good learner, Qin Zhong was not a person who was good at self-discipline, if he was influenced by Jia Baoyu again, he was afraid that there would be no place for him to cry. Thinking about it again, his younger brother is a shy person, if he follows Jia Baoyu, others will not make a move on him.

Who doesn't know the romantic things in the Jia family's family study. If Qin Zhong goes, he will be treated as a child by some people.

For a while, Qin Keqing was happy and worried, but he couldn't speak. (To be continued......)
