When Jia Mu heard Jia Zheng's words, her smiling eyes were almost gone, and she said with a sigh: "Our family was originally among the four major families in Jinling, and it was also top-notch, even in the capital. But now it is only a medium-sized family in Beijing, and it is all thanks to the blessing of the ancestors that they can gain a foothold in Beijing. Now our family has finally produced another capable person, so that our Rongguo Mansion has become a first-class family in Beijing from the beginning. ”

Jia Mu was also a little excited now, she couldn't stop talking about this, and said the emotion in her heart in front of everyone.

This so-called first-class family in Beijing must not only have a knighthood, but also a high position. And Jia Ke is not only the Marquis of Wuyang at this time, but also the commander of the military and political power of Xuanfu Town, which can barely be regarded as a high power. Therefore, from now on, Rongguofu can also barely gain a foothold in Beijing. I no longer need the help of my relatives to barely make ends meet.

This time, Rongguofu finally succeeded in breaking into the upper echelons of the imperial court again, and the status of Rongguofu rose sharply, and it was able to stand alongside the Wang family that rose rapidly among the four major families in Jinling in the capital.

Jia Zheng actually cares most about this article, although he inherited the Rongguo Mansion, he was just a small outsider. His wife, Mrs. Wang's elder brother, Wang Ziteng, is the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and he is the confidant of the current emperor, and the difference in the status of the two sides is like mud. And now that Jia Ke is waiting, he can finally take a breath.

To be honest, although Rongguo Mansion still bears the name of the head of the four major families, it is actually in the status of the four major families. It's not even as good as the old lady's maiden family is the Shi family. After all, the Shi family is now a double waiter, although there is a shortage of money, but when the family can understand the reason, they can open up sources and reduce expenditure in the mansion, and they are not like Rongguo Mansion who spent all their money for an empty face.

So although the people of Jiafu are now laughing at the old lady's maiden family for being stingy, they don't know that this is actually the way to maintain the family for a long time, and they should live within their means.

Jia's mother also knows a lot about this situation, and even she decided this marriage for Jia Zheng back then, because she had already seen the decline of Rongguo Mansion. But she is just a woman, so she can only use this marriage method to add some help to the Jia family.

Over the years, Wang Ziteng has really soared, and with the relationship left by Jiafu and his own ability, he has actually achieved the position of the envoy of the Jingying Festival.

And it is precisely because of Wang Ziteng that Rongguo Mansion will not be particularly uncomfortable in Beijing. After all, if he offends Rongguo Mansion too much, Wang Ziteng will not stand idly by in the face of his in-laws.

Because there are too many people coming and going to congratulate Jia's mother now, Jia Zheng can't say anything hidden with Jia's mother. The mother and son just continued to talk and laugh a few words, and Jia Zheng was about to leave. Mother Jia stopped him and said: "Aunt Zhou, you have to have a preparation, in the future, the position of a flat wife will be indispensable to her, don't move now, and wait for the eldest brother to come back after a while." ”

Jia Zheng has been prepared for this matter for a long time, and as Jia Ke's status gets higher and higher, it is only natural that Aunt Zhou's status will rise. However, although there are three wives and four concubines, from ancient times to the present, there have almost never been examples of wealthy families marrying equal wives. That's why Jia's mother said that she would wait for his brother to come back before making a decision.

This depends on whether Jia Ke's status will be higher in the future, if Jia Ke continues to be promoted to the knighthood, in order to entrap him from separating from the Rongguo Mansion, his mother's status will definitely continue to improve. After all, if people have a high status, they want to be self-reliant, which is human nature, but Jia Mu, as the head of Rongguo Mansion, can't let this happen.

Jia Zheng is a very orthodox person, and he is very reluctant to promote Aunt Zhou to his wife, but for the sake of Rongguofu, he can only violate his nature once in the future, and when he was thinking about it, Mother Jia suddenly asked again: "Your aunt Zhao, is she about to give birth?" ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he replied with a smile: "Thank you for your mother's concern, the Zhao family is now about to give birth in two months, and our Jia Mansion is now considered a double happiness." ”

Mother Jia said unhappily, "How can the Zhao family give birth to a child and be compared to the eldest brother Fenghou?" Don't talk nonsense and make people laugh. ”

As soon as Jia Zheng heard that he knew that he had said the wrong thing, he immediately changed his words: "It's the son who is confused today and said the wrong thing, don't be surprised by the mother." ”

Jia's mother continued: "Although she is a family child, after all, she is giving birth to children for our Jia family. I have two old grandmothers here, so let's go and take care of her during the time she gives birth. ”

Jia Zheng naturally couldn't ask for it when he heard this, Aunt Zhao didn't have a good son like Aunt Zhou, and her food and clothing were not inferior to Mrs. Wang's now, and even there were several maids.

Aunt Zhao was only born in the family, and there was only one little maid waiting by her side. Now that she is about to give birth, Jia Zheng is really a little uneasy. But I can't break the rules of the house, so I've been a little worried. Now Mother Jia has given two old grandmothers to the past, which makes him completely relieved.

After Jia's mother finished talking about Aunt Zhao, she returned the topic to Jia Ke and said, "The eldest brother is not young, and he is also at the age of marriage. However, he is now at the border and will not be able to return for a while. Just now, set the marriage to him, and when he comes back, he will be able to get married immediately. ”

Jia Zheng heard Jia's mother's words, the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden, he knew what Jia's mother meant, Jia's mother still fell in love with the girl, but he was still very reluctant in his heart.

Jia Zheng has always felt that this girl is a scourge, and for the sake of their family, Rongguo Mansion has declined from the peak to the lowest point, and his eldest brother can only go out of the house to live elsewhere. Now if you want to recruit this kind of person into your own home, isn't this causing trouble for your own family? Although it is said that this is to pave the way for Jia Ke to sit in that position in the future, after all, this is still a shadow.

If this is just their wishful thinking, isn't this hurting their eldest brother?

When Jia Mu saw his appearance, she was very angry, this child is good at everything, but he is short-sighted and only knows how powerful he is to fight for a while. Jia Mu thinks that Jia Ke is now an official and a nobleman, and he is young. If there is no special opportunity in the short term, I am afraid that there will be no room for improvement, so he married the child.

Although this seems to be a bit risky, in fact, in Jia's mother's view, it is completely a profitable business. Although it may be a little jealous once the royal family is exposed, the emperor is a nostalgic person, and now he is getting older and older, and his compassion is getting heavier and heavier. He will definitely not mobilize the people for this orphan girl, maybe for his father's sake, he will give the Jia family some favors.

After all, what the emperor did in this matter back then was not authentic, and now that he is old, he must have the guilt in his heart. He was also afraid that he would not be able to meet the girl's father underground.

In this way, it will be very beneficial to Jia Ke's career in the future, and maybe he will be considered his own person by the emperor. Besides, what can an orphan girl be worthy of the royal family's long-term thoughts? Do you really think that the emperor's secret agent is fake? Jia Mu has always suspected that the emperor has known about this matter for a long time, but he has not explained it, in fact, this is not the protection of the orphan girl, because once the matter is put on the surface, he has to do some things.

Jia Mu didn't say much, but said vaguely to Jia Zheng: "Sometimes it seems dangerous, but in fact, it is the safest, everyone has family affection, and no one is an exception." ”

Although Jia Zheng has not yet understood Jia's mother's meaning, if Jia's mother makes up her mind, he can't stop it. So he replied: "The son must do what his mother wants, but the child is still a little young, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get married immediately." ”

Jia Mu said: "You just need to remember this matter, and first set the name." As for getting married, you can wait. Besides, the eldest brother has not been able to return to the capital all these years. ”

Jia Zheng nodded and agreed: "My son will do it in two days." There is another thing to explain to his mother that Zhu Ge'er has also reached the age of marriage, and his son wants to tell him a family business. ”

Jia's mother didn't care as much about Jia Zhu's marriage as Jia Ke, but just said casually: "Since ancient times, major marriage events have been the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. You're his father, and you can handle it. ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly said to Jia's mother: "No matter what time my mother is, she is the heaven in our house. I have to tell my mother all these things. Where dare to call your own shots. ”

"It's not as serious as you said, you can just take care of Brother Zhu'er's affairs yourself, I just emphasize the same, his daughter-in-law must be carefully selected, after all, he will be the one who will take the lead in Rongguo Mansion in the future. If we get back a stirrger, our house will be scattered" Jia's mother said very clearly, that is, she was afraid that Jia Zhu's daughter-in-law would fight for power and profit in the mansion and make the mansion unsafe.

Jia Zheng said repeatedly: "Mother, don't worry, I know this matter in my heart. Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law will definitely be virtuous and virtuous. ”

When Jia Mu heard him say this, she knew that he already had a candidate in mind, so she nodded.

Jia Zhengjian saw that what he was going to say today was finished, so he got up again and said goodbye. Jia Mu didn't stop him this time.

Jia Zheng left Jia's mother's courtyard and returned to the main house where he lived next to Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang was taking care of a few Jia Baoyu's small clothes at this time, and when she saw Jia Zheng coming in, she hurriedly put down her things and came to greet her.

"The old man went to the old lady's place to give the old lady good news." Mrs. Wang said while helping Jia Zheng take off her coat.

"The old lady has known such a big news for a long time, but as a son, I have to talk to the old lady in person." Jia Zheng replied to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang finished changing Jia Zheng's coat, and the two sat down separately on the soft step.

Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang again: "The two brothers in our family are old, and they have reached the age when they should get married. I'll discuss this matter with you first. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes turned and she smiled at Jia Zheng and said, "This matter is a big deal, and it should be prepared for the two children." The eldest brother is older than Zhu'er, and he should first find a family affair for him, some time ago, my sister-in-law happened to tell me that there is a girl in the family who is spicy and hearty, and this little urine is raised as a boy, and the appearance is really gorgeous, which should be in line with the eldest brother's temperament. And this girl is quite good at housekeeping, and the eldest brother is often not at home, so she just needs such a daughter-in-law to be in charge. ”

Jia Zheng heard Mrs. Wang say this, although he was also a little moved, after all, it was also the rule for the four major families to marry each other for several lifetimes. But he thought of Jia Mu's words again, although he couldn't guess the reason yet, but he trusted Jia Mu's judgment very much. So he said categorically to Mrs. Wang: "I have already arranged for my eldest brother's marriage." If this girl is really nice, tell Zhu'er. ”

Mrs. Wang's face immediately changed when she heard this, although the girl was really cool and her color was very outstanding, but she was a lawless character. If you say that you give it to Zhu'er, doesn't it hurt him?
