Chapter 267: Family Business

Qin Keqing glanced at Jia Ke next to her, Jia Ke nodded lightly to her, Qin Keqing took the silver bracelet, got up and blessed Aunt Zhou (a kind of etiquette in ancient times - ten thousand blessings), Aunt Zhou saw Qin Keqing accept the silver bracelet, and immediately smiled. Qin Keqing had this thing, and then passed it on to future generations. Then the children and grandchildren will not forget her nameless grandmother.

Jia Ke saw on the side that Aunt Zhou valued this thing, and knew that she was worried that no one would remember her as a grandmother in the future. So he said next to him: "If you accept this thing, then I will make a rule." From now on, the Wuyang Hou Mansion will be in the vein, and all the tokens of the grandmother will be this silver bracelet. ”

Qin Keqing listened to Jia Ke's words, and naturally understood what he meant, so he also said with a smile on his face: "Then I am the first grandmother in charge of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion with this token." ”

Aunt Zhou sat next to her, listening to the words of the two of them, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise and joy on her face. If it is really like what Jia Ke said, in the future in the vein of the Marquis of Wuyang, you will know where their roots are.

The next time was not early, and it was time for lunch immediately, so Jia Ke simply didn't leave, and told Xia Mai to let the big kitchen and deliver the food to Aunt Zhou. Today he wants to take Qin Keqing and accompany Aunt Zhou to have a reunion dinner.

Qin Keqing did not have any dissatisfaction because of Aunt Zhou's low status, but began to expand as a daughter-in-law. Whether it was the maid she brought or Aunt Zhou's original, they were all turned around by the regiment under her command.

After a while, the living room was cleaned up, and the tables were all put on the table, and at this time, the few little maids who went to the kitchen to fetch food also returned. Originally, Aunt Zhou's meal was already very good, but this time the meal was more sumptuous. Fill the large round table in the living room.

Qin Keqing personally came down to support Aunt Zhou and asked her to sit down in the middle, with Jia Ke and Qin Keqing accompanying each other.

Aunt Zhou looked at her son and daughter-in-law sitting on both sides, and the joy in her heart could not be described in words, and only in this small courtyard could she rightfully enjoy the courtesy of her son and daughter-in-law.

In the middle of the banquet, Qin Keqing kept serving Aunt Zhou with vegetables and rice, which was to serve Aunt Zhou as a serious mother-in-law. Aunt Zhou has never felt this way, which is completely different from eating with Jia Ke before. The time of the personal meal made me feel the dignity of Jia's mother.

Although Aunt Zhou enjoyed this feeling very much, she did not embarrass Qin Keqing, and kept persuading her to sit down and eat, "They are all their own people, how can they be so exquisite," Aunt Zhou said.

In the end, under Aunt Zhou's request several times, Qin Keqing sat down again, and the family had a reunion dinner together.

After the meal, Jia Ke and Qin Keqing said goodbye and went back to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion.

said that during this time at noon, Jia Zhen prepared a generous gift in Ningguo Mansion, and asked her family to take her directly to Rongguo Mansion to ask to see Jia's mother.

Mother Jia had just eaten lunch and was taking a nap in the room when she suddenly heard a mandarin duck calling softly in her ear.

Jia's mother opened her eyes unhappily, the elderly generally don't sleep much, and they generally wake up early at night, and they never let others disturb them during this nap at noon.

When the mandarin duck saw her mother coming, she hurriedly whispered in her ear: "Old lady, Uncle Zhen of Ningguo Mansion asks to see you." ”

Jia Mu frowned after hearing this, and then said, "Then let him in." ”

After speaking, a little girl came up to change Jia's mother's clothes, and the mandarin duck went out and ordered Jia Zhen to come in.

After Jia's mother was dressed neatly, she came to the main room to see Jia Zhen.

When Jia Zhen saw Jia's mother, she immediately went up and kowtowed, and then she cried bitterly and refused to get up.

"What's going on? Who made you wronged? Jia Mu lived on it and asked inexplicably.

"Old lady, nephew, I made a big mistake, please ask the old lady to save me." Jia Zhen knelt down and told what happened in Ning Guofu this morning, and then knelt below and kept kowtowing.

After listening to Jia Zhen's words, although Jia Mu was a little annoyed in her heart, her reason still made her suppress her anger, and finally thought for a while before saying: "I know about this, take care of my mind from now on." If there is a next time, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you. ”

As soon as Jia Zhen heard it, she knew that Jia's mother had agreed to help him say goodbye, so she was putting her mind at ease, and then ordered someone to bring the gift in.

When Mother Jia saw the gift brought, she didn't want to accept it, but she couldn't stand Jia Zhen, and she had to give it to her with a dead face. That's why I reluctantly accepted it. After finishing the incident, Jia Zhen left happily.

After Jia Zhen left, Jia Mu looked at the box on the ground in disgust.

"Mandarin duck, if you have time, send someone to send this box to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, talk to the eldest brother, just talk about this morning's incident, let him not take it to heart, after all, peace is still precious in the family, let him go this time, if there is another time, it will not be too late to punish him."

After listening to his mother's words as he was, he nodded and agreed, and then he carried the box to the next room, ready to send it to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion for a while.

Besides, Jia Keqing, as soon as Qin Keqing and the two returned to the main courtyard of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, Qin Keqing sat on the fire under the window, and she was tired from a day today, as if the road she had walked on this day had exceeded the road she had walked in her life.

Jia Ke took advantage of the situation and lay down next to Qin Keqing and held her in his arms. Qin Keqing pillowed Jia Ke's arm, and like this, Qingqing, me, and I slept all afternoon.

When it came to dinner, the two got up and freshened up separately, Wuyang Hou Mansion naturally has its own kitchen, and there is no need to eat what people do by themselves like the original big kitchen.

Jia Ke immediately called the kitchen steward and asked her to write down all the dishes that could be made on a list, and then sent the list to Qin Keqing for her to choose.

Qin Keqing chose a few things casually, and then threw away his hand. Jia Ke then added a few more things, which made the steward hurry up.

After a while, the table in the main hall was full of dishes, Jia Ke helped Qin Keqing and the two to come to the table, and the husband and wife sat opposite each other and began to eat dinner.

Qin Keqing pressed the table full of dishes, and said to Jia Ke with some complaints: "There are only two of us in this room, how can we eat so much." Although there are not many of them in our house, it is not good to always be so extravagant. ”

Jia Ke listened to her complaints, but did not get angry, but kept adding vegetables to her. Qin Keqing couldn't eat a lot of this, but he ate a few bites and was full.

After dinner, the two of them returned to the bedroom and entered the bed. And only Qin Keqing's personal maid Ruizhu is now asleep on the small bed outside the cloth bed.

In bed, Qin Keqing complained to Jia Ke again about such a luxurious dinner, "I know that you are in a high position now. Some people give you gifts, but after all, our family is still thin, and it is not as good as Rongguofu. This kind of luxury makes people learn to go, and I don't know how much money is spent every month. When the time comes, I can't make ends meet, I see what you will do? ”

"Lady, I just got married and started to worry about the family business, okay, I'll tell you how much our family property is? It also makes you have a number in your heart. Jia Ke hugged Qin Keqing and said to him softly.

As soon as Qin Keqing heard that Jia Ke was going to give her an account of the family business, he immediately got up, turned over and lay next to Jia Ke to listen to him.

"Although our Wuyang Marquis Mansion has not been knighted for a long time, you and I have also saved some family business." Jia Ke said proudly.

Qin Keqing blinked his big eyes and looked at Jia Ke carefully, with admiration in his eyes. This made Jia Ke very useful.

"Don't talk about the capital, let's just say that Xuanfu Town, where I started, I have been there since I became an official, from an ordinary thousand households to a festival envoy, I have placed nearly 100,000 acres of land in Xuanfu Town." Jia Ke is quite proud of this, and now his thinking has become closer and closer to the ancients, and he regards buying a house and land as a top priority.

After Qin Keqing heard Jia Ke say this, her eyes were already wide open, although she knew that she had an extraordinary background, the dowry brought by this marriage was not a small number. She originally thought that although Jia Ke was the Marquis of Wuyang, but after all, the knighthood was not long, and the inner bag must be shallow, she also thought about taking out her dowry and buying some land for the family, but she didn't expect Jia Ke to place such a family business in Xuanfu Town. Not to mention anything else, with these fields alone, as long as the descendants are not defeated, the family is enough to last for one or two hundred years.

Jia Ke looked at Qin Keqing's surprised face, and became even more proud, "Where is this, you then listen to me, in addition to the fields, I also have some doors in Xuanfu Town, and I have sent my minions to do some business, and I have at least a hundred thousand taels of income every year." ”

"In addition to this, we are not without nothing in the capital, when I was knighted, the emperor rewarded 35,000 acres of fiefdom, but these lands cannot be moved, and they can only be inherited by the descendants of the lord in the future." Jia Ke said to Qin Keqing in the array.

Qin Keqing nodded seriously at Jia Ke's admonition.

"Other than that, the rest of the people are a little strange."

"Tell me what's wrong, and I'll give you a detailed look." Qin Keqing said playfully.

"This time I got married, and the emperor rewarded me with a lot of property, including 100,000 acres of land alone, and many shops in Beijing, I asked people to check them, and the annual income of these shops can also be 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver. Although I have some credit for saving the driver this time, and the emperor is quite kind to me, but this time the reward is a little too much. Jia Ke finally said all his doubts about Qin Keqing during this time, and many of them Jia Ke was testing Qin Keqing.

Qin Keqing's heart trembled when she heard Jia Ke say this, but she immediately understood the key to it. I'm afraid that the emperor already knows her identity, but he thinks that she is an orphan girl and there is no threat, so he gently let it go. And nominally it is a reward for Jia Ke's marriage, but in fact it should be a dowry for himself.

Qin Keqing thought of this, her heart was relieved, as if she had let go of the burden of her daughter, this secret had been buried in her heart for more than ten years, she planned to take this secret to the grave for the rest of her life, even Jia Ke would never tell it. Jia Ke wanted to know, only when the two met again.

Although she thought so, the pressure in her heart did not relax for a day. Now that the emperor already knows this secret, she originally thought that she would panic, but she didn't expect to be relieved, because depending on the situation, the emperor no longer pursues it. As long as she is safe and incognito, she wants to be able to spend this life safely.

After thinking about this, Qin Keqing finally replied to Jia Ke: "Since it was rewarded by the emperor, you are next, and the emperor's reward naturally has his reasons." ”

After Jia Ke heard Qin Keqing say this, he seemed to have thought about it, "Yes, what do I want to do with this?" The emperor's reward, that is a favor to me, I will rest assured. ”

Qin Keqing was completely relieved when he heard Jia Ke say this, and the burden in his heart had disappeared. She fell asleep in Jia Ke's arms.

But she didn't see that although Jia Ke was holding her, her eyes flashed with a fine light.
