Chapter 282: Greeting
As soon as everyone saw the sedan chair coming, they rushed up, Jia Ke personally helped Aunt Zhou out of the sedan chair, and Aunt Zhou walked a few steps to Qin Keqing's side as soon as she got off the sedan chair. took Qin Keqing's hand and complained: "Just let them come, what are you still doing?" What if I bump into it, who should I go to? ”
Qin Keqing felt very comfortable with Aunt Zhou's concern, but she still said to Aunt Zhou with a smile: "What did Aunt Zhou say?" It was you who gave birth to Lang Jun, and if I didn't come to greet you, I wouldn't be struck by thunder from the sky. ”
"Bah, shut up, don't say such frustrating words, after all, you are still pregnant with a child, what if it comes true." Aunt Zhou hurriedly interrupted his words, and then folded her hands and prayed to the sky: "God, my daughter-in-law just said nonsense, don't take it seriously, if you want to take it seriously, it should be on me, don't make trouble for my grandson and daughter-in-law." ”
After Aunt Zhou prayed, Jia Ke stepped forward to support her and brought her into the Wuwei Hall, the main hall of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. After entering the main hall, Jia Ke asked Aunt Zhou to sit upright in the middle.
Aunt Zhou still feels a little awkward, although she is sitting in the middle, but she feels uncomfortable, you must know that when she was in Rongguo Mansion before, her identity was standing aside, and she has never been like now, sitting in the middle. This sudden change made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Jia Ke saw that Aunt Zhou was already sitting in the middle, so he took Qin Keqing and three concubines to kneel down together under the hall and kowtow to Aunt Zhou, this is the first time Jia Ke has bowed to Aunt Zhou in so many years. And the place of kowtowing is also very different, this is the most important Wuwei Hall in the Wuyang Hou Mansion, and now Jia Ke is kowtowing here, just like everyone in the Wuyang Hou Mansion shows that Aunt Zhou is the most noble person in the Wuyang Hou Mansion.
This time Jia Ke kowtowed to Aunt Zhou, which was something he had thought about for a long time, after all, for so many years, he had not saluted Aunt Zhou openly and honestly, which made Jia Ke, as a son, feel ashamed all the time, so he decided to make up for Aunt Zhou today.
Aunt Zhou sat on it and watched her son and daughter-in-law kowtow to herself, and it was a great gift to see her mother, where could she sit still. got up and went down to help Jia Ke up.
Jia Ke hurriedly got up and helped Aunt Zhou to sit on it again, and then said to her: "Auntie, in the future, you will be in the Wuyang Hou Mansion, you will be a figure like an old lady, we all have to respect you, let your son give you a salute today, in order to repay you for raising your son over the years." ”
"But it can't be like this, what kind of identity am I, isn't this a discount for my life? Besides, if your father knew about this, he wouldn't have killed you? "Aunt Zhou used to be just a concubine who was not favored in Jia Zhengfang, because her son Jia Ke was out of the interest position, but she was only from the lowest level, where have you ever seen such a pomp?
Jia Ke pretended to be unhappy and said: "Auntie, don't say this kind of thing, say something that has no etiquette, you are my Jia Ke's mother, and when you come to my house, you are naturally an old lady." What do others have to say? Even if my father finds out, what can he do with me? When Jia Ke said this, he was quite proud, with his current status, as long as he didn't do anything that was intolerable, even the entire Jia family would have to tolerate him.
Qin Keqing came to Aunt Zhou's other side, took her hand and whispered: "Auntie, when you come to us, you can be regarded as returning to your own home, and you can naturally do whatever you want in your own home." What can others say wrong? ”
Aunt Zhou heard Qin Keqing say that this is her home, and she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, although she was doing well in Rongguo Mansion because of Jia Ke, she didn't dare to make a wrong step, and she was always careful, afraid that the master above would blame her for something. Now hearing Qin Keqing say this, she seems to have realized something, and she feels relieved, and at this time, she realized that she had left Rongguo Mansion, this is Wuyang Hou Mansion, and everything is decided by her son.
Qin Keqing saw that Aunt Zhou's face seemed to become relaxed, and immediately helped her to the big chair in the middle, and Jia Ke took Qin Keqing and the three concubines to kneel on the ground again, and gave Aunt Zhou a big salute. At this time, the maids and mother-in-law in Wuwei Hall and various servants knelt down to Aunt Zhou together. This time Wu Yang knelt for a large part, Aunt Zhou sat in the middle, only to see Wuwei Hall kneeling with their heads, although they were a little uneasy in their hearts, but seeing these people kneeling at their feet, they couldn't help but be proud.
Aunt Zhou sat in the center this time, looking at Jia Ke and Qin Keqing and others kneeling below, and suddenly had a feeling that her life was worth it, and she was just born as a child of a family, and she didn't expect to be treated like an old lady one day.
Jia Ke took Qin Keqing and waited below to finish the salute, got up and regathered beside Aunt Zhou, Qin Keqing asked Lan Xiang next to him: "Has the yard that the uncle ordered to prepare for the aunt cleaned up?" "Qin Keqing no longer cares about the affairs in the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion during this time, and raises the fetus in his own courtyard every day, except for the major events in the family, these things are generally handled by Lanxiang.
"Grandma rest assured, she has already cleaned it up, and she has given her aunt four big maids and seven or eight little maids, and there are more than a dozen mothers-in-law." Lan Xiang always spoke softly, laughing before speaking.
Aunt Zhou has a good impression of Lan Xiang, Jia Ke's concubine, because she always doesn't smile or speak, and she is neat and thoughtful, although she doesn't want to admit it, but I have to say that compared to Qiaolian and Chuncao who came out of her, they are not the same.
"Auntie, since the house has been arranged, then let's go and see if there is anything that is not to your liking, and I will let someone change it." Jia Ke stood aside and said to Aunt Zhou.
What else does Aunt Zhou have to say? had to agree, so everyone walked together, like the west side of Wuwei Hall.
Aunt Zhou stopped just a few steps and said to Qin Keqing, who was supporting her next to her: "They are here, don't join in the fun, go back and rest quickly." Otherwise, what should I do if I have tire gas? ”
How could Qin Keqing agree to such a thing, Jia Ke's aunt came to the house for the first time, how could she not accompany her throughout the whole process, so she kept refusing.
Aunt Zhou was indeed worried about Qin Keqing and the child in her womb, seeing her constant refusal, she became a little anxious, and scolded Jia Ke next to her: "You are a dead man, I didn't see that your daughter-in-law is still pregnant, how can you withstand such a rush, why don't you hurry up and send a message to let her go back to rest." ”
Jia Ke hurriedly followed Aunt Zhou's words and said, "Keqing, go back and rest quickly, I am here to accompany my aunt, anyway, they all live in the same room, and it is not too late for you to go to see your aunt after a while." ”
Qin Keqing saw that Jia Ke had already spoken, so she could only do a good job to Aunt Zhou, and took a few maids and grandmothers around her to the side of the road, and let Aunt Zhou go first. It wasn't until Aunt Zhou turned around the rockery and disappeared that she returned to her room.
Besides, Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou, walked through the verandah, passed through a moon gate, and came to a wide courtyard, the pattern in this courtyard is very similar to Jia's mother's place, in the Wuyang Hou Mansion, it is a separate courtyard.
Everyone came to the weeping flower door in front of the compound, Lan Xiang hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the front of the compound, and shouted to the inside: "Come out quickly to greet you, the old lady is here." ”
After this shout, a large number of people came out of the courtyard in a short time, all kneeling on both sides of the road to salute Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou had already seen such a scene once, and now she was not as panicked as the first time. The face is strong and calm, with the support of Jia Ke, he entered the Hanging Flower Gate, and after entering the Hanging Flower Gate, there is a big shadow wall, bypassing the shadow wall, along the dripping verandah on both sides, and then going forward is the hall, which is a serious inner courtyard after the hall.
There are three small halls in that courtyard, and after this small hall, you can go further on, and you will find the real inner hall. Aunt Zhou walked all the way, only to see the surrounding flowers, all kinds of buildings carved exquisitely, really beautiful. The pattern of the building is almost the same as that of Jia Mu, and it is better than Jia Mu in terms of architectural carving.
The more Aunt Zhou walked forward, the more uneasy she felt in her heart. When he arrived at the main hall, he didn't dare to go inside, but asked Jia Ke a little crampedly: "Son, is this really where I can live?" ”
"Naturally, it is a place where my aunt can live, and in my house, my aunt is the most precious old lady, which is different from the house next to her." Jia Ke comforted her.
"Auntie, what the uncle said is right, who is still noble here, who dares to say half a sentence no, you must know that this is the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion, not the Rongguo Mansion." Qiao Lian interjected at this time.
Qiaolian has been much more active than just now since Qin Keqing didn't follow. Qiao Lian is very afraid of Qin Keqing in her heart, although Qin Keqing is kind to everyone, and takes great care of the food and clothing of their concubines, which is several times stronger than the Rongguo Mansion next to her, but because of her identity, she unconsciously feels afraid of Qin Keqing.
Jia Ke felt that Qiaolian's words were a bit excessive, if the people of Rongguo Mansion heard it and reached the ears of Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, as long as he said a word, Jia Ke would have to deal with Qiaolian at that time, so he turned around and reprimanded Qiaolian: "Shut up, where is there a place for you to talk here, don't retreat." ”
Qiao Lian actually regretted it just after saying this, just now she was just getting carried away for a while. Now listening to Jia Ke scolding her, she hurriedly retreated, not daring to say anything more.
Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou into the main hall, in the center is a mahogany carved furniture, there is a picture of longevity on the wall, and a couplet is hung on both sides: the upper couplet is: Enjoy the longevity of the Nanshan pine. The next link is: happy in the prosperity of the East China Sea.
Then turn left into a green gauze kitchen, where there is a kang by the window, with cushions made of animal skins and a small table carved for temporary living.
Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou to sit down on the kang, and then sat down opposite her, while Aunt Zhou's original maid Xia Mai and others hurriedly came to stand around Aunt Zhou.
