Chapter 507: Returning Home
Not long after Jia Ke took Lin Zhixiao away, a small guy came to Jia Ke quickly.
As soon as he came to the jacket, he immediately knelt down and saluted the jacket, "The slave has saluted the uncle." ”
"Get up, you're in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
"Back to the uncle, the old lady ordered, let the uncle go to her room."
Jia Ke thought about it and understood that this was the old lady's dissatisfaction, so she asked herself to explain the situation in the court during this time.
"Okay, I know, you can go back." Jia Ke doesn't think there is anything ulterior about this, since he has become a powerful minister, then he will be bright and clear.
The little guy stood aside and replied to Jia Ke respectfully: "Uncle, I still have to send a message to our master and the eldest master." The old lady also sent someone to deliver a message to Uncle Zhen in Dongfu, asking him to come over and listen to the uncle's words together. ”
When Jia Ke heard it, this was another family meeting, and every time Jia Ke had something, these people discussed it together, but they didn't have any ideas, Jia Ke said that they just listened.
Jia Ke felt that as long as these people didn't make trouble for themselves, he didn't expect them to help him.
Especially Jia Yu and Jia Zhen, these two people eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, bad things are clean, with these relatives, Jia Ke consciously fell into bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Originally, Jia Ke was away from home during this time, and he did have some worries about his family, but now that he is back, he wants to visit the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion first, but since the old lady summoned him, he can only go to meet the old lady first.
But Jia Ke was really worried about Qin Keqing, so he asked Lin Zhixiao, who was following him, "How is your grandmother doing now?" ”
Lin Zhixiao listened, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Uncle rest assured, during this period of your absence, the master has specially explained, let me take care of the affairs of Wuyang Hou Mansion more, I have often passed this time, and everything is safe and sound for grandma." ”
"And what about the little troublemakers in the house?"
Jia Ke is asking his two precious sons, after all, they are his own sons, how can he not worry, and since these two children were born, he has not been separated from them for so long, which makes Jia Ke realize the mind of being a parent.
"The two young masters don't have anything to do, the eldest grandmother and Aunt Qiaolian are taking care of it."
Jia Ke nodded, and then asked, "What about my aunt?" ”
"Aunt Zhou's food and clothing in the mansion now are on the same level as her wife, and there is no one in the mansion who dares to offend her old man."
Jia Ke has put some of his mind down so far, and during his absence, it seems that there is nothing wrong with these clear scrolls in the house that he cares about.
So he turned around and instructed Lin Zhixiao, "You send this personal soldier of mine to the courtyard next to it, they are very tired during this time, prepare some good wine and food for them, and let them rest after eating." ”
After hearing this, Lin Zhixiao hurriedly agreed, and then took Liu Yu and all the relatives and soldiers to the original courtyard.
And among these people, Ben Bray was the only one who came up to Lin Zhixiao, "Butler, how is the girl you told me about some time ago?" ”
Ben Bray said that before leaving, Lin Zhixiu said that he would introduce him to a daughter-in-law.
Lin Zhixiao saw that it was Ben Bray, and immediately a smile appeared on his face.
"It's this guard, don't worry, I've already told their parents, they're happy and what's the matter, you can go back and wait to be the groom with peace of mind."
Ben Bray danced happily after listening to it, this time because of the marriage, but it made Ben Bray anxious, for a long time, because his appearance was very different from the Central Plains, so those girls did not treat him well, so it was very difficult for him to find a daughter-in-law.
After Jia Ke saw them leave, he walked to the inner house alone, passed the second gate and walked forward a while, then arrived at Rongxi Hall, turned to the left, walked through the Huayue Gate, and then arrived in front of Jia's mother's compound.
And the news of Jia Ke's return had already spread in Jia's mother's house, and the mandarin duck was still standing at the gate to greet Jia Ke as before.
When the mandarin duck saw Jia Ke, he hurriedly stepped forward to give Jia Ke a blessing, and then said: "Uncle is back, the old lady has been talking many times during this time." ”
Jia Ke said to the mandarin duck with a smile: "There is Lao Ancestor who is worried about me, and I have to kowtow to the old lady a few times when I go in for a while." ”
The mandarin duck pursed her lips and smiled, and then led Jia Ke into the courtyard, and the little maids in the courtyard saw Jia Ke coming, and they all stepped forward to salute. Jia Ke was not stingy, took out a small bag from his arms, and threw it directly at them, "For the sake of your hospitality, this thing will be rewarded to you." ”
One of the quick-handed maids caught the bag with one hand, so a group of maids gathered around and opened it, and it turned out that the small bag was full of pearls the size of soybeans, and it seemed that there were one hundred and eighty pearls.
The mandarin duck looked at the side and shook his head with a smile, "Uncle, you are too used to them, every time you come, you give them so many rewards, and now when I hear that you are coming, the girls in the whole courtyard are waiting for you here." ”
Jia Ke laughed, not taking it seriously. Mandarin Duck had no choice but to take Jia Ke into Jia's mother's room.
Jia Ke came in and saw that there were several people in Jia's mother's room, who were Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun.
As soon as Jia Baoyu saw Jia Ke come in, he immediately lost the joy he had just now. Now Jia Baoyu's fear of Jia Ke has surpassed Jia Zheng.
Jia Ke glanced at them and came to Jia's mother, and then according to the previous rules, he respectfully saluted Jia's mother first. This is an important rule of feudal etiquette, and salutation is a manifestation of filial piety.
Jia Mu sat upright, looked at Jia Ke with a smile, and waited until Jia Ke finished saluting, then said to him with a smile: "Come and sit next to me." ”
Jia Ke listened to the old lady's words, and smiled and walked to Jia's mother's right hand. And in Jia Mu's left hand, Jia Baoyu was a little uncomfortable.
Lin Daiyu, who was next to Jia Baoyu, watched Jia Baoyu squirm there, pursed her lips and laughed. Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu snickering there, so she turned her head and asked quietly, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with me? ”
Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, just took her finger and nodded on his forehead, and then said softly, "Silver wax spear head." ”
This sentence made Jia Baoyu's face flush, but he couldn't find anything to refute, so he could only sit there with his head down and didn't dare to speak.
And Shi Xiangyun, who was sitting next to her, was also flushed now, she lowered her head, but she raised her eyes to look at Jia Ke from time to time. During this time, she had accepted her new identity, and Qin Keqing had also visited her in the Grand View Garden several times, and after getting along with Qin Keqing for a while, she had a good impression of this big sister. also let go of the original resistance in his heart, lived honestly in the Grand View Garden, and waited for the day to marry Jia Ke as a concubine.
Jia Mu sat on the top, looked at Jia Ke kindly and asked, "Have you been tired for the past few days?" How about eating? How did you sleep? ”
Jia Ke heard Jia's mother's concern, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the old lady's concern." Where can I be tired as a coach, I have my own soldiers to do everything, eat well, sleep well, and now I have gained weight. ”
When Jia Mu heard what he said, she burst out laughing, then slapped him with her hand and said, "You actually coaxed me this old lady, it's only been a few days, how can there be any reason to gain weight." ”
Jia Ke could only accompany the caution and apologize to the old lady.
And the old lady saw that Jia Ke was talking and laughing freely, and she didn't look nervous, and she knew that there seemed to be nothing wrong this time, so she put her heart down.
While they were talking and laughing here, they heard someone shouting, "Sir, Madame is here." ”
Immediately after the curtain rang, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang walked in from outside.
As soon as Jia Ke saw Jia Zheng coming in, he quickly stood up, came to Jia Zheng in three steps and two steps, and knelt down to salute him.
As soon as Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke kneeling, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, then patted his arm and said, "It's good to come back, nothing happened outside, right?" ”
"Thank you for your concern, nothing is going well."
Jia Zheng listened to Jia Ke's reply, nodded, and then came to the old lady's room. At this time, Jia Baoyu also came over with a twist, gave Jia Zheng a salute, and then stood aside without saying anything.
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Baoyu's twisted appearance, a little unhappy, he is now more and more dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu, he is so old, he is still messing with girls in the Grand View Garden, and he has left behind his economic career and scientific research fame.
Jia Zheng was about to open his mouth to reprimand Jia Baoyu for a few words, but Jia Mu, who was sitting on it, saw what he meant, and said busily: "Every time, you are the first to come, come and let me have a look." ”
Jia Zheng listened to Jia's mother's words, and could only put Jia Baoyu aside for the time being and went over to give Jia's mother a gift.
And Mrs. Wang came to Jia Baoyu's side at this time, hugged him in her arms, and kneaded him with a meal.
Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun looked at Jia Baoyu's embarrassment at this time, and they both smiled at the corners of their mouths.
After Jia Zheng gave a salute to Jia's mother, he sat in the position where Jia Ke was sitting just now. And Jia Ke naturally stood beside Jia Zheng.
As soon as they were done, someone outside said, "The eldest lady, the eldest lady is here." ”
Immediately afterwards, Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing entered the house and saluted Jia's mother first. Then sit down on Jia Mu's left.
Jia Ke, Jia Baoyu stepped forward to give Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing a salute, Jia Yu saw that Jia Ke hurriedly went over to help him up, and then said with a smile on his face, "Big brother is back, you are not here during this time, my heart is empty." ”
Jia Ke was baffled by his enthusiasm, and could only keep saying that he didn't dare.
Why is this Jia Yu so enthusiastic about Jia Ke now? It turned out that since Jia Ke became more and more powerful in the court some time ago, almost all the civil and military generals began to befriend the people of Jiafu. Especially Jia Yu, a drunken man, kept being invited to eat and drink, gave beauties, and complimented him, which made him a little fluttery. That's why I have a good impression of Jia Ke.
But Mrs. Xing next to her pulled Jia Baoyu up and let him sit in her seat.
Soon, Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion also came with the You family, and this time all the Jia Mansion family members came.
