Chapter 235: New Year's Gift (Subscription Requested)
"What, are you saying that Rong'er has already married the young lady of the Yinglang family of the Ministry of Industry?"
Rong Qingtang, after listening to Jia Zhen's report with a happy face, Jia Mu's eyes lit up and asked in surprise.
Judging by the look on her face, it was obvious that she knew a lot about it.
The eldest master sat silently, without the slightest wave in his heart, this is Jia Zhen's own choice, there is nothing to blame.
Now that he has made a choice, he can only resist the ups and downs he encounters in the future, and he doesn't have to expect Jia Mu to help.
When there are benefits, Jia Mu will not let go, and after there are no benefits, Jia Mu will still find a way to squeeze out the benefits, and then throw Jia Zhen and Ning Guofu aside, it's as simple as that.
"Exactly!"
Jia Zhen looked happy, but she was a little weak and didn't dare to look at the eldest master's face, for fear that the eldest lord would directly hit people, and the fun would be great.
It's just that the eldest master is surprisingly quiet, and he doesn't have the slightest intention of interjecting, allowing Jia Mu and Jia Zhen to show all kinds of happy expressions.
Mrs. Wang muttered in her heart, and her face was also calm, she was not interested in the marriage of the juniors in the next house.
It's just that the status of the daughter-in-law married by Rong'er is too low to make her dislike, doesn't this lower the grade of the descendants of the Jia family, and Baoyu's search for a daughter-in-law will be affected in the future.
Well, Mrs. Wang's brain hole is also strange enough, Jia Mu and Jia Zhen discussed, it took half an hour, and when they were almost done, the eldest man picked up the little Yingchun who had fallen asleep and said goodbye.
"Uncle pardon, wait for me!"
On the way to the East Courtyard, Jia Zhen caught up with him out of breath and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Pardon listens to my explanation......"
"No need!"
The eldest lord turned around and said with a smile: "This is your own choice and that of Ning Fu, there is no need to explain anything to me!" ”
"But ......"
Jia Zhen was dumbfounded, the script is not like this.
According to his thoughts, the eldest lord should be so angry that he was dissatisfied with himself and then he bitterly did not listen to the advice, and then he begged and even took some benefits out as an apology, which was recognized by the eldest lord.
In this way, everyone is happy, and it is also the content of the script in his heart.
It's just that the eldest master's reaction was completely unexpected, and he didn't look angry at all, which made Jia Zhen a little at a loss.
"Uncle Forgiveness, aren't you angry?"
followed the eldest master to the main hall of the East Courtyard, took the tea from the maid, and cautiously probed.
"What can you be angry about?"
The old man rolled his eyes, and he didn't have a good airway; "Rong'er is your son, since you want to marry him, then it's settled, there's no need to take into account my feelings!"
Seeing that the eldest master was really not talking the other way, Jia Zhen finally let go of her worries and smiled lightly: "Uncle Forgiveness, you don't know, the King of Yizhong County has invested a lot of money this time, and the conditions given are too generous, I really couldn't help but agree!" ”
Hehe......
"Nephew Zhen, do you think King Yizhong will have a chance?"
The eldest man's demeanor was still peaceful, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, and he said leisurely: "If you have anything to tell me, just say it, there is no need to hide it!" ”
What can Jia Zhen say that the king of Yizhong values?
There are only connections in Ning Rong's second mansion, and forces that are not looked down upon by the real magnates at all.
To put it bluntly, the attitude of the King of Yizhong County towards Ning Rong's second mansion should be treated with the idea of dispensable.
Anyway, Qin Keqing is just a maiden, and if she gives it up, she will give it up, if she can bring Ning Rong's second mansion under her command, it will not be useless, it is estimated that this is the case.
Of course, the current Ning Rong Second Mansion is different from before, how can it be the same with the eldest lord here.
Not to mention the side, not to mention the current position of the eldest master, his powerful martial arts alone is enough to make the king of Yizhong spend a lot of money to win over.
If he can directly bind the eldest master through Qin Keqing's contact, King Yizhong is afraid that he will jump up happily.
A fierce general with strong martial arts, for careerists who are interested in competing for the supreme power in the world, it can't be too important.
It's just that the eldest lord is not interested in participating in the royal battle, and what glory and wealth are not insignificant to him, but they are not so important.
These thoughts only passed in his heart, but Jia Zhen on the other side was stunned.
"Uncle Forgiveness, the King of Yizhong County is very favored by the Emperor Taishang, and his own strength is strong enough!"
He didn't quite understand, wasn't that obvious?
"How does that compare to today?"
The eldest lord said indifferently: "The emperor is old, there will always be a day, how can the king of Yizhong fight with today?" ”
"This ......"
Jia Zhen was dumbfounded all of a sudden, not knowing how to answer.
Before, he was also stunned by the conditions given by the king of Yizhong, but now he reacted but it was too late to regret it, and his face suddenly collapsed and said depressed; "How's that okay?"
"Since you are married, then treat your daughter-in-law well, don't make any demon moths out, otherwise a crime of disrespecting the royal family can kill you!"
Ignoring this troubled face, the eldest lord solemnly reminded: "Remember, now that Ning Guofu has boarded the ship of King Yizhong, it is impossible to get down!" ”
"The probability of the success of the King of Yizhong County is less than thirty percent, and when the Emperor Taishang has one day, when he is ready to attack the King of Yizhong County and his henchmen, your daughter-in-law is the last means of saving the life of Ning Guofu!"
Jia Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she made a gesture to cut her neck, gritting her teeth; "Don't worry, Uncle Pardon, I'll take care of it then!"
"Deal with the fart, I forgot what I told you at the beginning, and now I forgot it?"
The eldest lord was angry and funny, and warned: "Don't have such thoughts and actions, after all, it is the blood of the royal family, if someone from the Ning Mansion assassinates Brother Rong, what will you think?" ”
"Naturally, there is no forgiveness for killing, and you dare to attack the master......"
Jia Zhen subconsciously spoke, but when the words were spoken, the expression on her face alternated between blue and white, and after a long time, she exhaled heavily, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Forgiveness, I understand!" ”
"You know what you know!"
When the point was raised, the eldest master didn't continue to be verbose, and said with a smile: "How about it, does the king of Yizhong County want you to bring me a message!" ”
Although it is a question sentence, the tone is quite affirmative.
"......, you can't hide anything from Uncle Forgiveness, and the King of Yizhong County does have the intention of befriending Uncle Forgiveness!"
Jia Zhen was a little frightened, he didn't expect the eldest master to be so wise and almost able to guess his mind thoroughly, this feeling is very bad.
"Then make an appointment with a time and place, and let the important people around the county king meet!"
The eldest lord doesn't have any superfluous ideas, it's always a good thing to be taken seriously, but there are some things that must be made clear, he doesn't want to participate in the royal fight, and he doesn't have to overthrow the royal boss.
Everyone sat down together and exchanged views on the social affairs and people's livelihood, it was as simple as that.
Seeing Jia Zhen with an excited face, Mrs. Xing came over with a happy face and said, "Master, I just received a New Year's gift from Mrs. Yangzhou from the concierge!" ”
"Yangzhou's aunt?"
The eldest man immediately reacted, isn't it Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min.
"Didn't you have a New Year's gift before, look at you!"
Sweeping Mrs. Xing's almost glowing face, the eldest master was speechless for a while.
"That's different!"
Mrs. Xing retorted, sent the gift slip in her hand to the eldest master, and said with satisfaction; "The New Year's gift sent by Yangzhou this time is several times heavier than in previous years!"
"Oh yes, let me see!"
After taking the long gift list, the old man swept it at a glance, and the things on the gift list were indeed quite expensive, and the number was much more than in previous years.
Think about it and know what's going on, the eldest lord's four-grade official position is nothing in the capital, but in the eyes of foreign officials, it is a rare real power Beijing official.
Lin Ruhai is now the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, and he has been doing it for several years, and this official is not easy to be.
In the past, it was Rongguo Mansion, or the second room to help him move around the capital and reduce the pressure from the capital, with the ability of the second room and the effect of urine, it can be imagined.
This year is different, the eldest lord sits in Shuntian Mansion strongly, has the strength and courage to carry Prince Zhongshun, and dares to offend the powerful in Beijing because of the unscrupulous affairs of the governors of various prefectures, and his strong performance is eye-catching.
There are more than one or two officials who have been ousted by him, and they are definitely not easy to provoke among Beijing officials.
As the sister-in-law of the eldest lord, Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial Shi Lin Ruhai naturally followed the light, which year before was not impeached by the courtiers, if it wasn't for the emperor's maintenance, it would have been over.
But this year's situation is different, it's almost the New Year, but there are few people who dare to impeach Lin Ruhai to death, for fear of retaliation from the eldest master, which makes Lin Ruhai, who is in Yangzhou, feel the pressure greatly reduced.
Don't forget to dig wells, Lin Ruhai can be a doctor of Sanpin Lantai Temple at a young age, and he is naturally not stupid in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History.
Even if Jia Min didn't have much of a good impression of the eldest master because of his impression of previous years, Lin Ruhai didn't dare to be so 'rude', this New Year's Day gift was much heavier than in previous years.
"Since it's the fourth sister's intention, just accept it!"
The eldest man's expression was flat, and he didn't have any extra thoughts about it, so he said curiously: "Is there any change in the New Year's gift sent to Yangzhou by Dafang?" ”
"It's still sent according to the old rules!"
Mrs. Xing replied with some embarrassment: "Before, the concubine thought that the New Year's gift in Yangzhou was still the same as in previous years, but I didn't expect it to ......."
"It's okay!"
The eldest lord waved his hand and said with a smile: "Say to the second daughter-in-law of Lian's ward, just say what I mean, sir, prepare more than three percent of the gifts sent to Yangzhou next year, and get some really good things to send!" ”
Now that the big house is on the rise, Lin Ruhai, who is in Yangzhou, should also know one or two, and the New Year's gifts received by Lian Er should also increase, and this relative still has to maintain it well.
I just don't know, how many New Year's gifts the second room received this time, will the second daughter-in-law be so angry that she vomits blood?
