"Mother!"

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng rarely looked so happy.

Wang Ziteng also respectfully greeted and greeted: "Old lady An." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "What's the matter, are you so happy?" Just came back from Asari? ”

Jia Yu said with a smile: "What the old lady said is that she just came back from the court. Today, our founding vein can be regarded as a high-eyebrow reprisal! The heroes of Yuanping are hard to parry. The Zhao Guogong Mansion is known as the first high gate in Xunguili, and this time it is also disgraced, although the old Guogong has not been allowed to fold the beggar bones, but the position of the commander and general of the Jiang family's Fengtai battalion has fallen into the hands of our family. ”

Jia Mu was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "You got it?" ”

When Jia Yu heard this, a smile on his face froze, and he laughed dryly, and said, "My son has never liked to be an official......

Jia Zheng relieved him and said: "It's Lianggong who can go, and it is the same as our family." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, the smile on her face faded suddenly, and she said with a smile: "Where do I understand the affairs of the court, just tell some jokes." In the future, don't talk to my wife about such important things. ”

The prince hurriedly said: "Although I got it, I still have to rely on the help of the Jia family, and I also have to rely on the help of the old lady, otherwise I won't be able to sit in this position." ”

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier.

In the barracks, in fact, it is almost inseparable.

If Wang Ziteng wants to really control the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the 12 battalions, he will inevitably change a group of generals.

It's just that although the Wang family is also from Wuxun, the ancestor of the Wang family was just a county uncle back then, and he couldn't even be hereditary, so how could there be many generals in his entrainment?

In the peaceful era, the promotion of martial artists was almost completely controlled by the noble family.

He chose either generals from the Yuanping Sect or from the Founding Clan.

Therefore, after all, it still depends on the power of the Jia family.

When Jia's mother heard this, she became more and more uncomfortable in her heart, and she became more and more displeased with her eldest son.

The lord of the Jia family let him attack, his son is a first-class Rongguo Gong, how much incense and favor did he leave behind?

But as long as he is a competitive person, with these incense and favors, how can the Jia family degenerate to the point that there is no one to support the façade.

A good official has let the Wang family go.

In a depressed mood, Jia Mu smiled faintly: "I'm an old woman, what can I help you?" ”

Seeing Jia's mother's attitude, Wang Ziteng didn't want to say anything more, and looked at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng pondered for a while, and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, if Lianggong wants to sit firmly in this position, he also needs the help of the founding heroes and the various governments......

Jia Mu said impatiently: "I don't pay attention to a lot of things outside, what do you want to do, just do it." ”

Jia Zheng said with a wry smile: "What Lianggong means, our Jia family still needs to be stronger, just take advantage of the fact that the concubine in the palace is provincial, let the outside see the momentum of the Jia family, and gather the hearts of the people in my father's old department, so that they know that our Jia family is still prosperous." It's just that to start a garden, you need to build a foundation in the Huifang Garden in Dongfu. So ......"

When Jia's mother heard this, she muttered for a while, if she just contributed to the Wang family, she would never do it, but since she wanted to gather the momentum of the Jia family, she did not object, thinking of this, she said: "It just so happened that Yu'er came to the house and invited me, the eldest lady and the wife to the Lin Mansion as guests...... Okay, I'll go and let Yu'er and her Lao Tzu talk to that evil obstacle. ”

Jia Yu hurriedly said: "Old lady, it costs a lot to build a garden, can you let Dongfu also pay half?" You need to know that the glory of the Jia family is not only in Dongfu! ”

When Mother Jia heard this, her face sank, and she wanted to dismiss it, but she remembered the rumor that Sister Feng told her that the property that her eldest son had taken from Dongfu was ordered by the palace to return a lot of money to Dongfu......

In addition, the silver sent by Jia Yan and Jia Ling was also returned, after all, he still had face in the clan, so in the end it was a waste.

sighed in her heart, no matter how bad she was, it was still her eldest son after all, so she reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it with this old face." As for whether it will succeed or not, it cannot be guaranteed. ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, his old face turned red, and it could be seen that the prince looked at him with bright eyes, and finally said with some difficulty: "There is one more thing ...... it."

Jia's mother's face was ugly, she hated insatiable people the most, but she heard Jia Zheng say: "My sister-in-law sent an official document from the household department today, so that the officials, lords and princes and nobles who borrowed silver from the household department can pay off the deficit within one year. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she said in a deep voice: "It is not a matter of course to repay debts, what is there to say?" ”

Jia Zheng said with a smile: "Time is tight, and it is all borrowed silver for several years, where can I get it for a while?" ”

Jia Yu also said: "Mother doesn't know that there are so many high-ranking families in Beijing, except for a few or two families who can be like us, how many hereditary poor officials, just hold up a façade, don't point to borrowing some silver from the household department, and they can't get by for years." Now that such a sudden person is paying back the silver, where can I get it? ”

Jia Muqi said: "What are you doing to me about this, and you don't give it back to me, do you want me to take out the coffin silver and make up for them?" ”

Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Wang Ziteng and others all laughed together, and they didn't even dare to say anything.

In the end, it was Jia Zheng, who was a little embarrassed and said: "I still want to invite my mother to talk about one or two ......things in front of my sister-in-law."

Jia Mu was even more surprised: "Let me talk about such things?" ”

Seeing that Jia Zheng was poor, Wang Ziteng hurriedly said: "If I wait to talk about it, it can only be a business talk, but the old lady is different." knows that the sea is pure and filial, and the old lady and the grandfather of the country did not treat each other as pampered guests, but clearly regarded him as their own son. If the old lady goes to say a thing or two, the high-ranking families will inevitably feel the old lady's great kindness and regard the Jia family as a benefactor! ”

When Jia Mu heard this, her heart moved again, but she refused to admit it on her face, and waved her hand again and again: "It's useless for me to say these words, you don't have to count on me." When Grandpa Guo was there, he never let me pay attention to the outside affairs. First, I don't want to spend that amount of effort, and second, in the end, it's a woman's family, and I shouldn't mix things that shouldn't be involved. Go and go, and if there is anything that you will do with you. It gives me a headache......"

Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Wang Ziteng, Jia Lian and others had to retire.

In the Xinuan Pavilion, Baoyu looked at Daiyu who was sitting by the door and sneered repeatedly, embarrassed, and said softly: "Sister Lin, Uncle he didn't mean that......"

Dai Yuqi was surprised: "What does your uncle mean?" Tell me, what does he mean? ”

When the sisters saw Baoyu's face flushed and their foreheads sweated, they couldn't say why, and they sighed in their hearts:

Sister Lin is still the same Sister Lin, her mouth is no different from a knife......

Li Kun was afraid that Baoyu would have hysteria again, and she couldn't explain it, so she hurriedly smiled: "Okay, okay, the outside business is over, let's go out quickly." Sister Lin came back easily, and then thought about it, and added something delicious and naughty at noon......"

Baoyu liked this, he didn't care about the Wang family, as long as he didn't delay him and his sisters' stubbornness, he could say anything, clapped his hands and smiled: "Let's compose poems and eat wine today, how about it?" ”

Yingchun said with a smile: "Let's go, don't talk about eating and drinking, you got drunk during the New Year, but let us eat a little half a year." ”

Baoyu smiled: "Not today!" ”

But he only looked at Daiyu, but Daiyu's face was unhappy all the time, and his expression gradually became lonely.

The group came out of the warm pavilion and saw that Jia's mother's face was not very good-looking, and when Jia's mother saw Daiyu like this, the old man knew in his heart that Fangcai's words must have been listened to by Daiyu, and he hurriedly smiled: "Good Yu'er, you must not tell your uncle those words to your old man." Their big things outside have nothing to do with us. ”

When Daiyu heard this, she frowned, lowered her eyes and said, "If the old lady has any orders, my father will naturally accept them no matter what." My father often taught me at home that my grandfather treated him like a parent and son in the past, and my grandmother did not treat him as a different surname. Is...... is that his mother is gone, and his grandmother has never blamed him, so what can he do with such kindness, even if he is his own mother and son? Uncle and them, if they have something to talk to their father directly, I, as a niece, naturally have no room to speak. However, when they asked the old lady to speak, it was a little ...... It's a bit of a bully. ”

When Mother Jia saw Daiyu crying, she was already dissatisfied in her heart, and she couldn't suppress it anymore, and said angrily: "What should they do if they are not greedy enough?" Once again, it's endless. If you are promoted, you want a garden, you want a garden, you want silver, and after you want the silver, even my aunt of the Jia family has to sell it? This last sentence shows that the old lady is not confused.

But in all fairness, Jia Mu's words are also a little unreasonable.

After all, it was her eldest son who asked for the garden and silver, not Wang Ziteng.

But she thought that without Wang Ziteng, there would be no today's embarrassing scene, which made Daiyu cry.

Moreover, it was originally the Wang family's lack of greed, and it was really annoying to finish this and that.

I didn't want to say anything, but when I saw Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng coming in from outside, I heard something, and my face was unnatural.

It's just that Jia's mother is in Jia's house, which one else needs to be taken into account?

Speaking of anger, he pulled Daiyu more and more annoyed, and said with a tense face: "One by one, they know that they are calculating our orphans and widows, and they all think that I am easy to provoke!" I can't stay in this house, so I'll take Baoyu and go to the Lin family with you. My uncle is more reliable than his children now, just because I only raised a good daughter in my life, not half a son! ”

These words were so heavy that even Mrs. Wang couldn't stand it and knelt down.

When she knelt, Li Kun and Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't stand still, and even the sisters of the Jia family also knelt down.

Daiyu was taken aback, and hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "The old lady is not angry, who doesn't know that uncles and aunts are the most pure filial piety?" Don't say that I respect the old lady, that is, I have lived in the Jia family for so many years, and my uncle and aunt also love me like my own daughter. ”

Mother Jia snorted and said, "You are their niece's daughter, shouldn't they love you?" ”

Daiyu smiled when she heard this, and said, "Then grandmother shouldn't have wronged their uncle." ”

Jia Mu sighed and said, "Come on, for Yu'er's sake today, I won't blame them." However, I won't go to your house as a guest tomorrow. There is a lot of chaos in the court, you may have to be busy, and then we have to be tired of our family. Tell him that he has to come and sit with me. ”

He also said to Mrs. Wang and the others, "Get up too." ”

Sister Feng and Li Su hurriedly helped Mrs. Wang up, and Mrs. Wang's heart had long disappeared because of the joy of hearing that the prince had risen to a high position of power, her face was indifferent, she didn't look at Daiyu, and asked Mother Jia: "What do you want to eat at noon?" Feng girl ran to ask me, I thought, let's ask the old lady. ”

Daiyu, who has always been sensitive, suddenly darkened her expression......

In her heart, she has long regarded the Jia family as a relative.

But looking at it today, except for the old lady, others may not think so......
