Chapter 269: Jia Zhu Gets Married
On this day, Jia Ke had just returned to the Wuyang Hou Mansion, and was blocked by Lin Zhixiao halfway.
"Uncle, the little one has something to say to the uncle and ask the uncle for an idea." Lin Zhixiao said respectfully to Jia Ke.
"If there is anything in the house, just leave it to your grandmother, you don't have to ask me again." Jia Ke is no longer involved in the affairs of the Marquis of Wuyang now.
Lin Zhixiao was a little embarrassed when he heard Jia Ke's words.
Jia Ke looked at him, as if he had something to say, didn't he want Qin Keqing to know something?
"Alright, don't pretend like that, let's talk about something."
Lin Zhixiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Jia Ke before saying cautiously: "The old lady sent a box full of gold, silver and jewelry. The little one doesn't know what to do, so let's talk about the uncle. ”
Jia Ke was a little puzzled when he heard this, how could Jia's mother send him a box of gold, silver and jewelry?
"What the hell is going on? How could the old lady send me these things? ”
"If you go back to the uncle, these things were sent by Ning Guofu to make amends to the uncle, the old lady asked me to send them to you, and the old lady who sent the things still has a message for me to bring to the uncle." Lin Zhixiao, as the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion and Wuyang Hou Mansion, is still very well-informed, and he has already inquired about what happened in Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Ke didn't want to mention this matter, but now that Lin Zhixiao said it, his anger was aroused again. Lin Zhixiao, who was standing next to Jia Ke, looked at him and became very blue when he heard this, and he also knew that this was Jia Ke's taboo, so he didn't mention it anymore.
"Old lady, what do you want them to bring?"
"The old lady said that she would let him go this time, but it was not too late for him to deal with it in a place where there was a transgression."
Jia Ke was silent for a long time and said, "You send someone to inform the old lady, and say that your father has already instructed her." This time, I'll let him go for the time being. ”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Lin Zhixiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle, what should I do with this box of things?" ”
The cold light in Jia Ke's eyes kept coming out, he never believed that Jia Zhen would put away his thoughts this time, so he said angrily: "Store this box of things for me in the warehouse, but next time, he will use the money in this box to buy him a cemetery." ”
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Lin Zhixiao stood there looking at Jia Ke's life, and the sweat on his back was wet, and he only now felt the majesty of the foreman of the Military Discipline Department. Jia Zhen really hit the iron plate like this, and the uncle would stare at him for a long time, but if he was a little offended, their uncle would let Jia Zhen's family die.
Not long after Feng Mo left the capital for Liaodong, Jia Ke's three concubines in Xuanfu Town came back, and at the same time Wei Kun, the spy leader he already had high hopes for, and Wei Kun was arranged by Jia Ke as soon as he came back, and soon disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
Qian Mao was reappointed as Jia Ke's butler, and this time he was appointed as the chief butler of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. On weekdays, he assists Qin Keqing in dealing with everything in the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion.
The most difficult thing for Jia Ke to deal with is the three concubines, and now Jia Ke is like glue with Qin Keqing, so he doesn't want these people to disturb the relationship between the two, and finally Jia Ke arranged them to live in the three courtyards next to the main house.
Qin Keqing had long known that Jia Ke had three concubines, and he also knew the rules in the family, and again, Jia Ke didn't make any eldest sons, so he didn't have any separation with Jia Ke because of this.
Among these three concubines, Lan Xiang has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Jiedu Embassy before, and she is smart and clever, she often goes to Qin Keqing's side to serve, and she is not jealous in front of Qin Keqing, and she takes Qin Keqing first everywhere, and even serves her like a maid, so she gets Qin Keqing's favor and helps her deal with housework as Qin Keqing's assistant. Now Lanxiang's status is like Ping'er next to Wang Xifeng in the Dream of Red Mansions. Because of the appearance of Lanxiang, Qin Keqing's personal maid Ruizhu was blocked by an arrow. Therefore, by Qin Keqing's side, Ruizhu and Lanxiang started an open and secret fight.
But Chuncao and Qiaolian are much worse, they are far worse than Lanxiang in terms of human sophistication, and they are both from poor backgrounds, where have they managed the huge Hou Mansion. Therefore, Qin Keqing did not arrange anything for them, and could only wait for Jia Ke's visit in the small courtyard every day, but their living expenses were first-class, and Qin Keqing did not embarrass them in this regard.
However, the two of them are not very lonely, as Aunt Zhou's side, they run to Aunt Zhou's side whenever they have time, everyone talks and laughs together, which can be regarded as a place to be dispatched, and can be filial piety for Jia Ke in front of Aunt Zhou, therefore, Qin Keqing has a lot of rewards for the two of them.
As the Spring Festival approached, Rongguo Mansion was busy again. This time it was for Jia Zhu to get married, and Jia Zhu was delayed until this year to get married because Jia Ke had not been married at the border gate, and according to the principle of orderliness between the eldest and youngest. And the object of marriage is still the Li Gongju in the Dream of Red Mansions.
If you want to talk about this Li Gongju, Jia Ke seems to be the number one strange woman in the Dream of Red Mansions, and the other twelve hairpins in the Red Chamber are just heroes in the fat powder pile, but this Li Gongju is really long-term and has a ravine. And her personality is quiet and indifferent, elegant and dignified, and wise, but she is detached. In terms of ability, it is ten times better than Wang Xifeng, if she is allowed to preside over the Rongguo Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion in the Dream of Red Mansions will not be empty.
This time Jia Zhu's wedding seems to be more grand than Jia Ke's, the etiquette process of both parties is completely in accordance with the ancient etiquette, both serious and grand, this is Jia Zheng regarded him as the heir of Rongguofu, and the etiquette performed is the most grand in the vein of Rongguofu.
Originally, Jia Zhu's wedding, Qin Keqing, as a sister-in-law, was ready to go over to help. As a result, Mrs. Wang refused, and Qin Keqing saw Mrs. Wang's scruples, so she had to return to the mansion to live her own life, and no longer get involved in Jia Zhu's marriage.
The wedding of Jia Zhu and Li Kun went very smoothly, and on the twentieth day of the lunar month, Li Kun married into the Rongguo Mansion.
And on this day's wedding, it can be said that there are many guests, all kinds of cars and horses in front of the door have not stopped, and the entire Ningrong Street has even been blocked. During the wedding process, Jia Ke and Qin Keqing watched the whole process, there was no room for them to interfere, and Mrs. Wang would not let them interfere.
However, when feasting, Jia Ke and Qin Keqing became the protagonists. Jia Ke was in the men's seat, surrounded by various characters like stars holding the moon, but there were only a few people next to the groom Jia Zhu. And these people were just arranged by the elders to be around him.
Everyone is a clear-eyed person, and being able to come to Jia Zhu's wedding is completely for Jia Ke's sake. He was just the younger brother of the Minister of Military Aircraft Foreman, and everyone came to the wedding to get married to Jia Ke. Otherwise, who knows who he Jia Zhu is.
Although Jia Zhu also knew that these people came to his wedding for Jia Ke's face. But such a big gap still filled his heart with frustration.
Some people may be devastated when they encounter this kind of thing, but Jia Zhu has aroused his fighting spirit even more, making him feel like a fire burning in his heart, and a voice in his heart tells him that this is the big husband, this is what he will be like in the future.
And Qin Keqing's side is even more exaggerated, because Qin Keqing was young, she was originally going to be arranged by Mrs. Wang to sit at the table of the juniors, but she was stopped by Jia's mother, and Jia's mother arranged Qin Keqing on the side of the princess's wife, because Jia's mother thought that Qin Keqing, as Jia Ke's wife, was a natural first-class lady, and her identity must not be degraded.
So Qin Keqing sat in a bunch of older women, which of these old ladies was not the most precious in their respective mansions, and there was no objection to Qin Keqing sitting next to them, after all, Qin Keqing's identity was placed there. And Jia Ke is now in a high position, one person is below ten thousand people, and they have all fought inside and outside for many years. I see the situation very clearly, and now it's too late to stammer with Qin Keqing, where can I dare to be disrespectful. It's just that he showed envy to Qin Keqing, but he couldn't hide it. When they were Qin Keqing's age, they were still bowing down in front of their mother-in-law, and their husbands were also working hard for the future, so like Qin Keqing, Mrs. Hou, who was a first-class product at a young age, how could she not be jealous of such good luck.
Due to Jia Ke's presence, this banquet was really lively, and all the people who came were members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the heads of various prefectures, everyone kept flattering Jia Ke at the banquet, and Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion kept turning around Jia Ke this time. It seems to be his little servant, handling all kinds of things for him before and after the saddle, wanting to make up for the disrespect to Qin Keqing last time. This time it doesn't look like Jia Zhu is getting married, it's like Jia Ke remarrying.
This time the banquet lasted from noon until it was dark, and after the banquet, Jia Zheng took Jia Ke and Jia Zhu to send everyone out of Rongguo Mansion. Next is Jia Zhu's cave room candle night, let's not go into details.
After Jia Zhu got married, he did not indulge in women, because on the day of the wedding, Jia Ke's stimulation of him (he thought of himself), aroused his fighting spirit, so he worked harder and harder, he returned to the study on the second day of marriage, Jia Zheng found that he worked so hard, and was even more pleased, not only did not dissuade him, but also ordered no one to disturb him. It's just that this gives Jia Zhu more motivation, and he now thinks that his own study is not only for himself and his family, but also for his father's hope.
Although Li Kun advised him to take care of his body many times, Jia Zhu had already been confused by the imperial examination at this time, where could he listen to it? Still ignoring the hard work of day and night, and regardless of the upcoming New Year, and he has just gotten married, he does this because he understands that his opportunities are running out, and if he can't be promoted next time, the family will probably donate an official for him, so that he will have this life. Where can this be tolerated by the ambitious Jia Zhu.
Jia Zhu studied hard day and night, but Jia Ke was very leisurely, because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the emperor had been sealed. This year's year's affairs are considered to be dealt with, and unless there is an urgent military situation, it will not be busy again until after the fifteenth.
And on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the team that sent him rent from Xuanfu Town finally came, and with them came the eight capitals of the Manchu Eight Banners, all of whom represented the Manchu Eight Banners, and gave New Year's greetings to Jia Ke, the only master of the Manchus, and sent tribute by the way.
