Chapter 328: Homely
Qin Keqing is also a delicate person now, although he is not optimistic about Xue Baochai's future after entering the palace, how can he say it in front of so many people, and even if he says it now, it is a bit profound.
Qin Keqing smiled all over her face, took Xue Baochai's hand, and complimented Aunt Xue and said, "I think Baochai is a good one when I see her, this time I go, I think she must have a bright future." Here, I congratulate you in advance. ”
After listening to Qin Keqing's words, the smile on Aunt Xue's face didn't stop, "Where is what you said so good, and then talk about this royal matter, where is what we can say, it's just to do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”
In fact, Aunt Xue thinks that her daughter Xue Baochai is no worse than Jia Yuanchun in the palace, as long as her daughter can enter the palace, the glory and wealth in the future are just around the corner.
She thought like this, but ignored that Jia Yuanchun was now able to gain a foothold in the palace, in addition to herself, she also had the full support of her family. In addition, Jia Ke is not highly powerful now. Although the emperor did not wait to see Jia Ke and did not give Jia Yuanchun too high a grade, no one in the palace dared to snub Jia Yuanchun.
Because everything about these concubines in the palace is ostensibly from the emperor, but in fact, they are inseparable from the support of the family outside the palace. Once they snub Jia Yuanchun and let Jia Ke know, they will usher in a catastrophe for their family, which one of the people who can gain a foothold in the palace is a fool?
And Xue Baochai was beside him, listening to everyone's praise, and there was no pride on his face. Still sitting there quietly, listening to them.
When Qin Keqing saw Xue Baochai like this, she couldn't help but look at her differently, when she was Xue Baochai's age, she was not as reserved as Xue Baochai. It can be seen what is Xue Baochai's heart?
Everyone chatted for a while, and Mrs. Wang saw that the time was not early, so she wanted to take Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to meet Mother Jia.
Qin Keqing sent them to the door and did not go with them. Instead, after turning the wall and going out, he came to a small courtyard nearby, where Aunt Zhou lived. Except for the fact that the current Aunt Zhou lives in a smaller place than Mrs. Wang, everything else is no worse than Mrs. Wang. Even in terms of money, she is better than Madame Wang, because she has a son who can make money.
And the Zhuangzi that Jia Ke originally got has always been managed by Aunt Zhou's brother, and the annual rent is directly sent to Aunt Zhou. And Aunt Zhou, after Jia Ke returned to Beijing, didn't think much of this money, and half of the rent last year and this year was collected. The rest was given to his brother.
And the maids and daughters in Aunt Zhou's courtyard now receive two cents a month, one is from Rongguo Mansion, and the other is from Wuyang Houhu Mansion, they are the highest income group in the entire Rongguo Mansion.
As soon as Qin Keqing entered the courtyard, the little maid in Aunt Zhou's room saw Qin Keqing coming and hurriedly reported inside. Then someone opened the curtain for Qin Keqing.
As soon as Qin Keqing entered the door, Aunt Zhou had already greeted her, and Aunt Zhou looked at Qin Keqing, and then sighed in disappointment.
Qin Keqing knew that Aunt Zhou was thinking about Jia Zhi, if she wanted to say who loved Jia Zhi the most in Jia's mansion, it would be Aunt Zhou, and even Qin Keqing was not as good as her by seven or eight points.
Qin Keqing hurriedly took a few steps forward to support Aunt Zhou, "Auntie, there is a guest from Mrs. today, and she wants me to go to meet the guest, it is inconvenient to take the child." Therefore, he didn't bring Zhi'er, which disappointed his aunt. ”
"I also heard that Madame's guests are here, who is here in such a big formation, and I want you to go and meet." Aunt Zhou is now also a sixth-grade lady, and after this period of adaptation, she already knows these grades very well, so she is more concerned about Qin Keqing's identity as a first-grade lady.
"It seems that the younger sister of the lady and the same mother came to Beijing with her children." Qin Keqing said to Aunt Zhou indifferently.
"I see, this needs you to see it in person, after all, from the eldest brother, it is also his aunt." Although Aunt Zhou said so, Qin Keqing heard a strong sense of vinegar from her tone.
Qin Keqing is such a dexterous person, he immediately knew that he couldn't say this anymore. So as soon as the style of painting changed, he turned the topic to Jia Zhi's body, "Recently, Zhi'er has become more and more naughty, and today I actually broke all the vases, fortunately, there is a mother-in-law watching next to me, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”
Sure enough, when Aunt Zhou heard this, Jia Zhi almost had an accident and immediately became anxious, and she couldn't help complaining to Qin Keqing, "Where have you young people taken care of children?" Now it's time for children to be curious, to put everything in their mouths, to look at everything. Like the porcelain in your house, the colors are so beautiful, where can Zhi'er not be curious? ”
"Yes, auntie, I see. When I got back, I changed all the porcelain in the house, and gave him all the silver ones, to see if he could bite or not. ”
"Don't mess around, those things are so heavy, what if you smash the child." Aunt Zhou hurriedly stopped it, she was afraid that Qin Keqing would mess around and what would happen to the child.
Aunt Zhou then asked Qin Keqing, "You said that the three aunts in your house have been in the house for so long, why haven't their stomachs moved?" ”
After listening to Aunt Zhou's words, Qin Keqing's face was a little embarrassed. Qiaolian and they are not pregnant until now, and it is also because they have not given birth for a long time, they have been eating shunzi soup, and after such a long time, they have suffered some losses to their bodies.
Qin Keqing also found a famous doctor for them to see, but these doctors all said that the medication time was too long, and they needed to be slowly adjusted, and when the time came, they would naturally be fine. Therefore, they have been taking decoction all the time, and it depends on God's will when they get pregnant.
"Auntie, this matter is not mine, they have been taking that medicine, and their bodies are a little lost, and the doctor said that they should recuperate for a while."
After listening to Qin Keqing's answer, Aunt Zhou was not dissatisfied, after all, she was also a concubine in a big family, and she still understood these rules. Back then, she forcibly gave birth to Jia Ke because she was clever, and she lost Jia's mother's concern for her. If Jia Ke hadn't been able to make a name for herself in the future, she might not be able to raise her head in Rongguo Mansion for the rest of her life.
"Alas, this is also providential, their time has not yet come." Aunt Zhou didn't say much more about this matter.
Then the two chatted about some short words from their parents, and the topic of the two of them was inseparable from the matter between the Rongguo Mansion and the Wuyang Hou Mansion, seeing that the time was not early, Qin Keqing said goodbye and left.
As soon as Qin Keqing left Aunt Zhou's courtyard, a person walked out of the room next to him and let Qin Keqing take a look in the direction he left. Only then did he return to Aunt Zhou's room.
When Aunt Zhou saw this person, she said helplessly: "What are you hiding from her?" It's not like it's not missing every day, and it's not good to make such a fuss. ”
"What can I do, if I hadn't waited for her, I wouldn't have taken medicine for so many years, it's been a year since I stopped taking medicine, and I still haven't been pregnant." The person who spoke was none other than Qiao Lian, and I saw her face full of unhappiness.
Although Qiao Lian didn't dare to have any complaints about Qin Keqing on the surface, it was false to say in her heart that she was not angry.
Aunt Zhou was also a little distressed when she saw Qiao Lian like this, Qiao Lian was her closest person in Rongguo Mansion except for Jia Ke, "Didn't you look for a doctor?" Is the medicine I used to take really so powerful? ”
Qiao Lian heard this and said helplessly: "The famous doctor has seen more than a dozen, and he has also eaten a basket of decoction." But there was no movement. ”
"Who knows what's going on, I suspect that Lan Xiang's dead girl gave me a different medicine, otherwise why wouldn't I be able to conceive for so long." Qiao Lian said angrily and helplessly.
Aunt Zhou disagreed with her words, "Don't guess and frame good people." Didn't Lan Xiang get pregnant too? After a while, I'll ask my doctor here to take a good look at you. ”
In fact, Aunt Zhou is also very anxious, and she likes Jia Ke's children no matter how many there are. Besides, Qiao Lian is not as good as others, she also hopes that Qiao Ling will give birth to Jia Ke, so that this child can continue the bloodline of the Jia family and the Zhou family.
In fact, having said that, Lanxiang's medicine at that time was indeed very harmful to the bodies of several of them. Although Lan Xiang is from a large family, she has always existed as a daughter, and she also listens to her mother's teaching about the privacy of these boudoirs.
And Lan Xiang's mother, as the lady of the long house of a large family, drugged the maids, where would she think about the future? As long as you can't eat the dead, and the maids can't get pregnant.
Therefore, when Lan Xiang was in Xuanfu Town, the medicine she gave them was all heard from her mother. Therefore, unconsciously, the three of them were taking the medicine of the tiger and wolf, which was a great loss to the body. If it weren't for the fact that Jia Ke was a high-ranking doctor later, and there were famous doctors in the capital, these doctors did have some means to slowly make up for the losses of the three of them, that is, they didn't have an effect for a while, and they should be able to recover after a long time.
And Qiaolian didn't know the reason, and kept complaining to Aunt Zhou because she was not pregnant.
At noon, Qiao Lian did not go back to her room, but went directly to Aunt Zhou to eat. This has almost become her routine, although in her share of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, she is also fragrant and spicy, but there is a big gap between Yi and Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou's meal is now twelve dishes, among which there are countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and in the entire Jia Mansion, I am afraid that only the old lady Jia Mu can stand side by side with her.
Qiaolian often eats at Aunt Zhou's place, and she has already raised her mouth, and she is not satisfied with the meal she gave herself, so she will eat at Aunt Zhou's place at noon almost every day. And Aunt Zhou is lacking someone to accompany her to chat, and Qiaolian is her niece, so the two of them can talk from morning to afternoon, plus Xia Mai, who loves to inquire about gossip, the three of them can talk about everything in Rongguo's mansion.
Aunt Zhou and Qiao Ling had just sat on the table in the living room, and Xia Mai brought five or six little maids to put the dishes on the table, and the marble round table in front of them was filled at once.
Then the little maid put the two people's dishes and chopsticks on the table, and four or five people waited around them, but there was no sound at all. It's all in order, just like when Jia's mother cooks.
Their current rules were all developed when they were in the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion. At that time, Aunt Zhou was like Jia's mother, who was very particular about luxury and pomp, which was also her inferiority complex. Originally, she was just an ordinary concubine who was not welcomed in the Rongguo Mansion, but once she came to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, she became the most noble person in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, where could she still hold it?
Therefore, after Aunt last week, everything must be on par with Jia Mu in Rongguo's Mansion.
