Chapter 252: Divides
Zhou Rui's family thought that since their daughter is here today, they should talk to her about the form of Rongguo Mansion today. saved her from talking nonsense outside and offending the nobles in the house.
You must know that the uncle is now in charge of the infantry commander yamen, as long as you hint at it slightly. The son-in-law's antique shop can't be opened.
"Don't look at the Rongguo Mansion in the past two days, there has been no movement here, from now on it can be lively here, and in the future, officials will come to visit, and the gift-givers can go for several miles." Zhou Rui's family first told his daughter about the scene after the Rongguo Mansion.
Zhou Qian heard that Rongguofu was already a little different at this time, because the rise and fall of Rongguofu was related to the quality of their family's business, although they didn't look at Rongguofu on the surface, they were actually nervous in their hearts, and hurriedly asked at this time: "Mother, what's going on?" Mo is not Rongguo Mansion, it really got up. Which lord in the house was promoted? ”
"Going up one or two grades can have the grand occasion as I said, I'll tell you the truth, the uncle in our house, the emperor's favor, and meritorious service, the emperor has promoted our uncle to the minister of military aircraft, and he is also in charge of the emperor's forbidden army and infantry to lead the yamen." Zhou Ruijia said proudly that this matter is a great honor for Jiafu, and many old people in Jiafu can already imagine that Rongguofu will return to the grandeur of the two old princes in the future.
Zhou Qian was a little stunned when she heard this, and then asked ignorantly: "What kind of official is the Minister of Military Aircraft?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"Today, the emperor has abolished the scholars, and from now on, the minister of military aircraft will replace the scholars to deal with the government, I just inquired outside, and now there are only two ministers of military aircraft in the court, and our uncle is one of them." Zhou Rui's family is also very excited now, and they will use Jia Ke as a backer in the future, they are not walking sideways in the capital, two days ago, someone asked her to send a letter to the steward in the yamen prison of the infantry commander, so that her children would suffer less, she was still a little undecided, now it seems that this is a big deal, as long as you take the post yourself, how dare the steward in the prison disobey orders.
"Isn't that the equivalent of the prime minister?" Zhou Qian said incredulously, she now knows that this position is not trivial.
"That's not it, so I asked you to be careful in this mansion, if you let others listen to what you just said, chew your tongue at the old lady, and say that you look down on the young ladies in the mansion and think that they are more noble than them, and we will be able to bear it then." Zhou Rui's family told her daughter again that she was pampered by this daughter and developed her temper of being open-mouthed and unobtrusive, and now she had to keep an eye on it, otherwise she would get into trouble.
Not to mention that it was someone else, it was the Wang Shanbao family in front of Mrs. Xing, her eyes were as wide as lanterns, and she stared at them every day to find fault with them, if she knew that her daughter looked down on the young lady in the house, it would be okay, and she would not let her make a mess.
While the mother and daughter were talking. Zhou Rui's son came back from outside, and he ran into the house with an excited face, and was about to say something to his mother? Suddenly seeing Zhou Ying, his face immediately sank. He is very dissatisfied with this sister, she has already married, and she has returned home twice in three days to fight the autumn breeze, and he can't wait to move his family to her husband's house, in fact, she has a store at home, so what's the short?
When Zhou Rui's family saw his son coming back, he knew that he had something to do with his daughter, so he hurriedly played a round and said, "Why are you running so fast?" There's a mow chasing you from behind? Your sister doesn't know how to say hello when she comes, and she knows that she eats and drinks outside every day. ”
Zhou Heng, the son of Zhou Rui's family, didn't care about his sister at this time, and said to his mother with excitement on his face: "Mother, I heard from others that you are arranging people to go to the uncle's mansion?" ”
"What are you going to do? It won't be that you took someone else's money, come to me to intercede, I can tell you, you put this idea away for me, if you let the uncle find fault with this errand, I won't be able to please me. Zhou Rui's family knew that his son had some fox friends and dogs, so they sealed his words in advance.
Zhou Heng said aggrievedly: "I'm such a bastard, I haven't said it yet, you just give me a lesson." I didn't let people talk well. ”
"Okay, don't pretend to be wronged, say something quickly, I'm still busy." Zhou Rui's family has long known what his son's temper is, and his grievances are not in his eyes at all.
Zhou Heng, when you heard your mother say this, you immediately put away the aggrieved expression, changed a smile on your face, and then said to Zhou Rui's family flatteringly: "Mother, you are tired, I'll rub your shoulders for you." Then he came to the back of Zhou Rui's house and rubbed her shoulders and patted her back.
While enjoying the rare filial piety of his son, Zhou Rui's family said to his son: "I don't know what you are thinking about?" Do you see that you want to divide people in the house over there, and you also want to go there. I'm telling you, you've taken this mind. Don't even think about it. ”
"Why, I heard outside, the house over there is different from the past, and in the future, it will be in the prime minister's foyer, and everyone wants their children to come over, since you are in charge of this, why don't you stuff me in." The son of Zhou Rui's family said dissatisfiedly.
He inquired about this matter very clearly, and the future of their uncle may still have a chance to rise, and now the people in the past are all old people from the Marquis of Wuyang, and in the future, anyone can take care of affairs. No matter how bad he is, he can go outside to manage a Zhuangzi and be a second master, how can such a good thing be short-lived for him? He had already boasted in front of that group of fox friends and dog friends, and he would definitely become the little steward of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, if his mother didn't agree to stuff him over, it would not be a shame in front of his friends.
Zhou Rui's hatred looked at him with iron, and said to him angrily: "If you have grown a little, I would have stuffed you over a long time ago." Look at you now, just be grumpy, I'll shove you over, in case you offend the nobles over there, I can't save you. It's better to stay here honestly, and I can take care of anything for you. ”
Although Zhou Heng felt that his mother's words were reasonable, he still muttered a few words dissatisfied, and went back to his house angrily.
Zhou Ruijia looked at her son's back, and she was still satisfied with this son, although she was a little short-tempered, but she was willing to listen to their words. Thinking that in the future, as long as they find a daughter-in-law and control him, they will be able to close their eyes even if they are gone.
Zhou Qian heard such big news from her mother's mouth, and her heart was churning, thinking about going home and talking to her husband quickly, and find a way to make the officials who gave gifts later at least buy some antiques from their shops.
So he said to Zhou Rui's family with a smile: "Mother, you still have something, I won't bother." I still have some things to do at home, so I'll go back first. ”
After saying this, he hurriedly walked out, who is Zhou Rui's family? I saw through these little tricks of her at a glance. Seeing her daughter leaving in a hurry, she couldn't help but mutter, "What's the use of raising children?" They are all raised for others, and there is no one who is intimate and close to the lungs. ”
After that, Zhou Rui's family put their minds on the roster, she wanted to screen all the people today, and then lead the people to the next house after a while, and everything had to be arranged, and the uncle would live in the past two days, and someone would definitely serve him at that time.
Not to mention that Zhou Rui's family racked their brains here and distributed the favors of Rongguo Mansion. Besides, Jia Ke returned to Aunt Zhou's courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a group of little maids surrounding him.
Among them, Xia Mai is at the forefront, she is now Aunt Zhou's personal maid and the person who has been with Aunt Zhou for the longest time, and now in Aunt Zhou's yard, there are more than a dozen people under one person, and all the little maids are looking at her horse's head.
A group of little maids stood in front of Jia Ke below, and then bowed to him together, saying, "Slave and maid, congratulations to the uncle for his promotion." ”
Then he knelt there, looking at Jia Ke with big watery eyes.
Jia Ke saw this situation, this is a roadblock robbery, this is Xia Mai's old trick, but for Xia Mai, Jia Ke still takes care of it, after all, she is not relying on her to take care of Aunt Zhou.
So Jia Ke reluctantly took out a small gold ingot, four or five taels of gold, from his arms. Then he casually threw it to Xia Mai and said, "Take it, this is your reward, go down and share it yourself." ”
Xia Mai took the gold ingots and smiled so much that her eyes couldn't see, and at this time, a group of maids were all around her, all looking at this gold ingot. This thing is very rare for these little maids.
Xia Mai came to see them in a circle and forgot about Jia Ke, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, isn't it just a little gold ingot?" When there's no one at night, you can see whatever you want. Let's hurry up and welcome the uncle in, otherwise the aunt will have to wait in a hurry. ”
At this time, the maid reacted, so she welcomed Jia Ke into the main room like the stars holding the moon.
Aunt Zhou was sitting on the bed by the window at this time, and when she saw him come in and hurry over, she was going to pack up his clothes, where could Jia Ke let Aunt Zhou serve? hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't be like this, just let the maids come to these jobs, let others know, what do you say about me?" ”
Aunt Zhou gave up when she heard Jia Ke say this, then sat on the bed and looked at a few maids, changed Jia Ke's coat, and re-covered him with the civilian clothes he wore at home. Then beckoned him to get under the bed. After that, he looked at Jia Ke carefully, and tears flowed when he looked at it.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you, don't you suffer some grievances, you tell your son." Jia Ke looked at Aunt Zhou and burst into tears inexplicably, and she was also a little panicked.
"What grievances can I suffer, I eat and drink well in this house, and there are people to serve me, and others dare not say a big word to me."
"What's wrong with that, auntie? I burst into tears as soon as I came back? ”
"Am I not happy? I heard from them that you are now the prime minister? Is there such a thing? Aunt Zhou put away her tears and looked at Jia Ke expectantly.
Jia Ke looked at her expectant eyes, and had no choice but to say to her: "There is no prime minister now, but the emperor made me the minister of military aircraft, and the things I handled were similar to the previous prime ministers." That's why I'm called confused by others, but our own family doesn't say much about it. ”
