Chapter 281: Passing the House
Jia Ke was very happy when he received Jia Zheng's notice that Aunt Zhou could go to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion to take care of Qin Keqing. Although Aunt Zhou has been prosperous and wealthy over the years, she has always been subordinate to Mrs. Wang, and her status in Rongguo Mansion is not high, so she is not much relaxed psychologically.
On the day when Aunt Zhou passed the Wuyang Hou Mansion, Jia Ke personally greeted him, and he took more than a dozen maids and women and a luxurious soft sedan chair to Aunt Zhou's courtyard.
Aunt Zhou came to live in Wuyang Hou's Mansion, and Jia Ke was the happiest, he was going to arrange for Aunt Zhou to live in a compound next to Wuwei Hall, when this courtyard was built, it was originally arranged for the elders of Wuyang Hou to live, and now Aunt Zhou naturally lives in it.
When Jia Ke arrived outside Aunt Zhou's courtyard, Xia Mai had already been waiting for a long time, and after Xia Mai knew that he was going to live in Wuyang Hou's Mansion, he packed up the things in the yard early, and waited to go to Wuyang Hou's Mansion with Aunt Zhou. When these maids were in Rongguo Mansion, they were just little maids under Aunt Zhou, and they had no power or privileges. But once she followed Aunt Zhou to the Wuyang Hou Mansion, she was the person next to the old lady, and she had some fame and power in the Wuyang Hou Mansion, so the maids under Aunt Zhou were very positive about this matter.
Jia Ke came to Aunt Zhou's courtyard, and entered the main house under the leadership of Xia Mai, as soon as Jia Ke entered the house, he saw that Aunt Zhou was already dressed up in full costume, and his six-grade court dress had also been put on.
Jia Ke felt a little sad when he looked at it, he understood what Aunt Zhou meant, she was afraid of going to the Wuyang Hou Mansion when she dressed up like this, and the maids in the mansion looked down on her, so she dressed up like this, which was also a manifestation of psychological inferiority.
Jia Ke came to the sky to give Aunt Zhou a salute and said, "What is Aunt wearing all this? As long as you are your son or the owner of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, who dares to be disrespectful to you? ”
Aunt Zhou just shook her head after listening to Jia Ke's words, and then said helplessly: "You don't understand, these minions in our house are used to praising high and low, if I go to your side silently, I'm afraid I will be despised by them." ”
Jia Ke felt that Aunt Zhou was thinking too much, whether it was Wuyang Hou Mansion or Rongguo Mansion, who didn't know that Aunt Zhou was his Jia Ke's biological mother, and who dared to be disrespectful to her. But even if Aunt Zhou is not at ease, then let her go.
So Jia Ke accompanied Aunt Zhou, except for the small courtyard with a group of maids and mothers-in-law, and went to Mrs. Wang's courtyard first. Aunt Zhou is going to leave Rongguo Mansion and go to Wuyang Hou Mansion, and she has to say hello to Mrs. Wang no matter what. Otherwise, it's a ceremonial mistake.
A group of more than 20 of them came to Mrs. Wang's courtyard in a mighty way, and frightened Caixia, who was sprinkling water in the courtyard, and when they saw it clearly, when Aunt Zhou and Jia Ke were in the front, they understood that this was to say goodbye to Mrs. Wang. It turned out that Aunt Zhou was going to live in the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, and Jia Zheng had already greeted Mrs. Wang.
When Caixia saw Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou, she hurriedly came up to give a salute, "The slave has seen the uncle and Aunt Zhou." ”
Aunt Zhou stood aside and didn't speak, but Jia Ke directly ordered: "You go in and report to your mother, and say that Aunt Zhou and I came to bid farewell to your mother." ”
Caixia agreed, and hurriedly entered the main house, and soon he came out of it, came to Jia Ke again, and saluted him before saying, "Uncle, Aunt Zhou and Mrs. Zhou let the two of you in." ”
Jia Ke agreed, and then took Aunt Zhou into Mrs. Wang's main house, and as soon as Jia Ke entered the house, she saw that Mrs. Wang was sitting on the kang in the middle and kept chanting, and knocked on the wooden fish.
Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang didn't seem to see them, the Buddhist scriptures in their mouths, and the wooden fish in their hands never stopped.
Jia Ke and the other two people knelt down and felt a little embarrassed for a long time, Jia Ke was a little unhappy, except for the emperor in the court, no one dared to give him such a dismount.
So Jia Ke coughed heavily, and Mrs. Wang seemed to react at this time, turned around and glanced at them, and said lightly: "Get up, who are you kneeling there for?" ”
Jia Ke couldn't say it because of her words, this is really the wicked person suing first.
But Jia Ke didn't lose his temper, in this world ruled by feudal etiquette, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.
When Mrs. Wang saw that they were up, she put the Buddhist scriptures aside, and asked with a smile as if she was very close to Jia Ke: "Big brother, is this going to take your aunt to live in the house for a few days?" ”
"My son is here to say hello to his mother." Jia Ke saw Mrs. Wang's question, and hurriedly gave her a salute before answering her: "This is still the grace of my father and mother, let my aunt go to the house to take care of my daughter-in-law for a while, after all, this is the first child of the Qin family, and there is no experienced person to take care of it." ”
"That's right, it's not okay to have no one around to take care of you at this time."
Aunt Zhou also stepped forward to salute at this time, and then said respectfully to Mrs. Wang: "Thank you for your understanding, I will never forget Mrs. Wang's great kindness in the future." ”
"You just have this heart, do I still lack something that I want you to repay?" Madame Wang had a smile on her face, and her eyes glanced at Jia Ke.
Jia Ke knew that she had something to do as soon as he saw Mrs. Wang's appearance, so he took the initiative to ask: "Mother naturally doesn't lack anything, but she can't keep anyone asking for things to her mother, and her son can still say a few words in the court, and then he will do it for his mother." ”
"I'm a woman, who would beg me for these big things, I just can't let go of your second brother, he has taken the exam several times over the years, and every time he falls short because of physical reasons, seeing that in another month or two, he will be out again, I don't know if he can succeed this time?" The sorrow in Mrs. Wang's eyes did not stop after she finished speaking.
It has been seven or eight months since Jia Ke returned to Beijing in Xuanfu Town, and there are only a handful of people who have seen Jia Zhu so far, just because Jia Zhu is too hardworking, and Jia Ke is busy with official business, so the two have no chance to meet. However, Jia Ke also saw from the few opportunities to meet that although Jia Zhu's body has quit A Furong, but his body has collapsed, because of Jia Ke's opinion, it is better to give up the imperial examination and recuperate at home, maybe he can live for more than ten years.
Jia Ke thought about the matter before and after, and then said to Mrs. Wang as appropriate: "Mother, don't be surprised, I want to say a few ugly words." ”
Mrs. Wang thought that Jia Ke was unwilling to help, so her face was gloomy, but she was unwilling to bow her head in front of Jia Ke, and reluctantly said: "It's all their own mother and son, what's not weird, you can say it." ”
"Mother, I think the second brother's health is really bad, and it is not a way to study hard like this, it is better to let him meditate and recuperate and raise his body, and the matter of reading can be put aside first. As for the imperial examination, I will give you a guarantee, as long as the second brother can persist until all the examinations are completed, I will ensure that he is promoted. Jia Ke felt that Jia Zhu was not a way to go on like this, and it was not the same to give him a lift in his own position, although he promised Jia Zheng not to participate in Jia Zhu's affairs, but as long as he secretly said hello, who could know? After all, Jia Zhu is still his brother, and it is really unreasonable not to help.
Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up when she heard Jia Ke's words, what Jia Ke just said was what she had been thinking, and it was even more thoughtful than she thought.
"Okay, my son, I didn't misunderstand you, I can rest assured that you have this thought, I will let your second brother rest first in the next few days, meditate at home to recuperate, and let him survive these three no matter what." Mrs. Wang is elated now, and she has even thought about the scenery of Jia Zhu, the gold list title high school.
Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Ke had agreed to help her with this matter, so there was nothing difficult for Aunt Zhou. even said a few auspicious words, which made their mother and son quit.
Jia Ke took Aunt Zhou out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and saw a soft sedan car parked not far away, and there were four strong women waiting there next to the soft sedan chair.
Jia Ke led Aunt Zhou to the soft sedan chair, and Aunt Zhou knew that she was allowed to sit, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Aunt Zhou has almost never left Rongguo Mansion in her life, and she has never done anything about such a luxurious sedan chair, so she seems a little cramped and uneasy now.
Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou to the soft sedan chair, and the strong women hurriedly closed the curtain, and Jia Ke personally helped Aunt Zhou to sit inside, and put down the sedan curtain after arranging her.
Then he is currently leading the way, the soft sedan car follows behind, Xia Mai follows the curtain of the soft sedan car, and the remaining three pretty maids follow the soft sedan chair and go to the direction of the Marquis of Wuyang.
Jia Ke took Aunt Zhou through the Moon Gate and entered the Wuyang Hou Mansion. There was already a large group of maids waiting here. This is knowing that Aunt Zhou is coming to live in the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, so she rushed to greet her.
Now Aunt Zhou's status in the Wuyang Hou Mansion is not much different from Jia's mother's status in the Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, there are a lot of maids and women who get the news and come to stammer.
So a group of people came to the Wuwei Hall, the main hall of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, where Qin Keqing had already waited with a bunch of people. Although Aunt Zhou is not her serious mother-in-law, she is Jia Ke's biological mother, and with this identity, no one in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion dares to treat her slowly.
Aunt Zhou was in a trance in the sedan chair, as if she was in the clouds, and when she came to a moon gate, she suddenly saw a group of maids, kneeling on both sides of the road to greet her, and she couldn't help but be frightened and happy.
She felt a completely different status from Rongguo Mansion, completely one heaven and one underground, which gave her a personal experience of one word, that is-mother is more precious than son, although her status in Rongguo Mansion has improved in the past, but where is it comparable to today.
Aunt Zhou came to a lobby in front of the stars and the moon, and saw that there were already a bunch of people standing in front of the lobby.
The first one is a very pretty little daughter-in-law, which one is not Qin Keqing? Next to Qin Keqing stood three gorgeously dressed concubines. Two of them she is even more familiar with, one is Chuncao, who has served her since she was a child, the other is his niece Qiaolian, and the rest she has also seen that this woman's beauty is only slightly inferior to Qin Keqing, it is the orchid that Jia Ke brought from Xuanfu Town.
