Chapter 194: Gradient
When Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zheng intended to tell Jia Zhu about the girl of the Wang family, she was reluctant to do so, so she turned her mouth around and came back to the words: "But in my opinion, although my niece is excellent, she is still a little incommensurate with the two brothers of our family." Not to mention that the eldest brother is now a marquis, let's just say that Zhu'er will definitely be born in the imperial examination in the future, and this girl can't read a few words, if he is matched with such an ignorant person, there will be contradictions in the future. ”
Jia Zheng nodded when he heard her words, and said with satisfaction: "What you said is that our family is different from the past, and the eldest brother's marriage has been decided by his mother, so we don't have to worry about it." Now it's just Zhu'er's marriage that worries me. If he had won last year, it would have been a bit better. But he is still just a showman, and he doesn't know if he can achieve anything in the next subject. Speaking of relatives like this, I'm afraid there are no good people. ”
When Mrs. Wang heard him say this, she was also worried. To say that Jia Zhu is indeed studying hard now, but during this period of time, even with Ah Furong's body has been corrupted. If it weren't for Mrs. Wang's forced removal of most of the medicine, I'm afraid her health would be even worse now. But she didn't dare to say these words to Jia Zheng.
Mrs. Wang now thinks of the words of the old gentleman last year, and thinks that it is better to set a family affair for Jia Zhu, so that he can have a descendant after he gets married, otherwise it will be really like what the old gentleman said, and she will regret it at that time.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang said to Jia Zheng: "The lord told me that Zhu'er's marriage is easy to say. Our family doesn't ask for how rich the other party is, just ask for a scholarly family who is right with the old man. ”
Jia Zheng listened to Mrs. Wang's words and felt that it made a lot of sense, although his wife was a little wooden, but she was never confused in major matters, and she was not bad to his children (this is what he thinks). Yu Shi replied to her: "What you said is exact, I heard from my colleagues a few days ago that the prince of the country has a daughter who is docile and polite, and wants to be worthy of our pearls." What do you think? ”
When Mrs. Wang heard him say this, she thought about it carefully, and felt that if this family business was completed, it would be beneficial to Jia Zhu Baili and harmless, at least it would be of some help in economic articles and career paths. So he hurriedly came and said: "It's still thoughtful to the master, since this is the case, let's quickly decide the family affairs first." Otherwise, the good girls will be snatched away by others. ”
"I naturally know what you said, but since ancient times, although Zhu'er is a sister-in-law, but the eldest brother is not an ordinary person now, you have to settle his affairs before you can say goodbye to Zhu'er." Jia Zheng said to her.
Mrs. Wang asked with some hesitation, "I don't know which girl is set for the eldest brother?" But what do you want me to prepare? ”
Jia Zheng thought about it carefully, and some things really needed to be prepared by her mother-in-law, so he said to him: "Eight points are the daughters of Qin Ye, who is the camp leader, and Qin Ye and I are half colleagues. This will definitely be done. ”
When Mrs. Wang heard what he said, she couldn't help but be suspicious, Qin Yeguan was a lowly official, and his daughter was not worthy of Jia Ke, a dignified marquis. So he said cautiously: "This Qin Ye's daughter, is she from a humble background and not worthy of our eldest brother." ”
Jia Zheng said unhappily: "This matter was decided by the old lady, this Qin Ye has something to do with our family, and his daughter is just right for our eldest brother." You don't have to worry about this matter, as long as you prepare a gift, I will go to the Qin Mansion in a day or two to ask for my eldest brother. ”
Mrs. Wang originally just asked, and had no intention of intervening, but since Jia Zheng said so, she agreed.
didn't say that Jia Zheng was discussing the marriage for Jia Ke, but said that Aunt Zhou's courtyard was completely welcoming guests at this time. People kept coming to congratulate her, and Aunt Zhou sat in the house by herself, and her smile never stopped. These servants are very respectful when they see her now, and even the old ladies next to Mother Jia are now seeing Aunt Zhou, and they are all saluted before they dare to speak.
Because Aunt Zhou herself is not good at words, she can't take care of the people who came suddenly. Fortunately, her eldest girl, Xia Mai, has gradually grown into a lot of quick talkers and deeds. has been helping her to respond by the side, and then sent away waves of congratulatory people.
When it was quiet at night, Aunt Zhou and Xia Mai relaxed, and the two rested for a while, and couldn't help but laugh when they looked at each other. They never thought that Jia Ke would be able to do this.
Xia Mai happily said to Aunt Zhou at this time: "Auntie, you have something to rely on this time, and you will split up in the future." You can also go to the Hou Mansion next to you to be an old lady, you must take me with you when the time comes, and I will also be a close friend in front of the old lady of the Hou Mansion in the future. After saying this, I couldn't help but start fantasizing about how I was going to be windy and rainy in the Hou Mansion, and I laughed first when I thought about it.
Aunt Zhou was also very happy today, and said to her jokingly with a smile: "Okay, if I become an old lady, I will definitely take you with me, and then I will find you a housekeeper, and you will be my grandmother in the future." ”
Xia Mai's face was flushed with shame, and she said, "Auntie will make fun of people." Then he ran out.
Aunt Zhou saw that the room had quieted down, smiled and slowly retracted, at the beginning, she was still happy for Jia Ke's waiting, but after thinking about it during this time, who knows the danger? Others only see the scenery of his marquis, but only he and her mother think about his danger in it. Born and died again and again. What's more, she also heard that Jia Ke led people straight into the grassland this time. The risks involved are not comparable to those of the previous times.
Therefore, in the dead of night that night, Aunt Zhou cried in the quilt for a while, but the next morning, she immediately changed her smiling face, and she must not let people find fault.
From the next day, Aunt Zhou's identity is different from the past, her status has risen a few steps, although she is still a concubine, but no one in Jia's Mansion dares to underestimate her, everyone has to give her a salute when they see her, and they all know that she is destined to be an old lady like Jia's mother in the future. In the future, her status will not be much different from the current Mrs. Wang, and even because she is Jia Ke's biological mother, Mrs. Wang may not be as beautiful as her.
Because everyone has seen clearly over the years, Mrs. Wang's two sons, the eldest son Jia Zhu has tried and failed, and the second son Jia Baoyu is still young, but at a young age, he is a person who is spinning in the pile of fat powder. Although it is said that he was born with a piece of jade, everyone says that he is promising. But looking at the situation is nothing more than a lie.
But Aunt Zhou's only son, Jia Ke, is completely different, and now he is a young man and is already the Marquis of Wuyang. From ancient times to the present, there are only one or two such small waiters, and although Mrs. Wang will guard the Rongguo Mansion in the future, I am afraid that in the end, she will have to live by Aunt Zhou's face.
Aunt Zhou only fully realized at this time, what does it mean that a mother is more expensive than a child? She now wants to say that the scenery is not worse than that of Mrs. Wang. As the servants of the Jia family, who were born with a pair of rich eyes, they naturally rushed to meet Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou's current meals no longer need to send money to the kitchen, and all kinds of delicacies will be automatically delivered to her every day, even if they are no worse than Mrs. Wang.
And the maids in her courtyard are even more arrogant than before, thinking that they will be able to go to the new Hou Mansion as errands in the future, and none of them will be the ones who have to take care of the stalls at that time, so they are now a little proud of how to deal with people.
Mrs. Wang was also obviously harassed by this incident during this time, and people kept coming to intercede with her, all of them wanted to stuff their daughter into Aunt Zhou's room as a maid.
Mrs. Wang can be regarded as seeing the snobbery of these minions, but she can't do anything about them. After all, these people are all people who have served in Jiafu for several lifetimes, and their ancestors have something to do with the two old princes, and they can only try all kinds of ways to send them away.
But it still can't stop the progress of these snobbish minions. couldn't get an answer from Mrs. Wang, so they went to Jia's mother to intercede together, although Jia's mother doesn't care about things now, but it is still the heaven of Rongguofu, as long as she opens Chrysostom, there is nothing that can't be done in Rongguofu.
Mother Jia received a lot of old women with status during this time. These people are all maids and daughters-in-law who used to have a good relationship with Jia's mother, and now they are old and are all supporting at home, but now in order to let their children and grandchildren have a good future, they all put down this old face and came to Jia's mother again to ask for it.
Jia Mu was also very happy about these people's visits, especially these people came to ask her to do things, which made her feel the importance of her status in Rongguo Mansion again. So she was annoyed by the maid next to her, but every time these people came to visit, she didn't refute it once.
As for what they said about going to Aunt Zhou, Mother Jia refused all of them, after all, Aunt Zhou already has several maids now, and if there are more people, I am afraid that she will surpass Mrs. Wang. Where is this everyone's rule.
However, Jia's mother also relieved them, and when the Wuyang Marquis Mansion was built, she arranged for their children and grandchildren to go over, and let them be a slave to Jia Ke. That's what calmed these people.
And Mrs. Wang knows everything about Jia's mother, every time she thinks of these things in the past few days, she can't help but feel angry, and even sometimes thinks that after Jia Zheng died, Aunt Zhou went to the Houfu next to her to be an old lady, but she had to rely on Jia Ke to maintain Rongguo Mansion, and at that time, she might as well die.
The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she thought that this kind of thing was likely to happen, and her son Jia Zhu seemed to be unable to count on it now, although Baoyu was a person with a background. But I'm still young, so it's hard to say what the future holds.
Although Mrs. Wang has been calm on the surface these days, she has been a little powerless to control Jiafu, this is all the minions of Jiafu have begun to move closer to Jia Ke, but the impact on her is very huge, unconsciously, many things that are unfavorable to Aunt Zhou, she can no longer carry it out.
Even if there is some turmoil on her side, Xia Mai will tell Aunt Zhou the next day, although Aunt Zhou still asks her for peace every day, but as long as she dares to give Aunt Zhou a little face, Jia Zheng will know about it, and Jia Zheng will definitely come to reprimand him immediately.
These are all those in the house, but the snobbish slaves did it, and when they saw Jia Ke's current scenery, they naturally swarmed Aunt Zhou's stinky feet.
This made Mrs. Wang feel that Aunt Zhang's current status was on a par with her. Aunt Zhou is only a name worse than him now.
