Chapter 251: The Xue Family
"What kind of thing is this, it's too unreliable!" Jia Hui scoffed at this statement, what level did the queen mother do to make the emperor break the rules of Taizu and knight a concubine's family?
Besides, it is more cost-effective for him to put the queen under house arrest than to give the Wu family a title!
"So it's said!" Jia Yu just smiled, anyway, if there is no evidence, it should be fun. And there is a good son here, can the emperor kill him because he said a rumor that is widely circulated in the noble circle?
"Could it be that the Wu family has some secret mission, because it is not easy to reward it clearly, so it is the reason to reward Concubine Wu for the Wu family?" Jia Zhu rubbed his chin and guessed, without the slightest respect for the Earl of Xingjin.
Although he is a civil servant, he actually has military merits, and even has a lot of military merits, so he can be crowned a viscount.
After all, North Korea rebelled in the end, so the merit of that mission was uniformly counted as military merit, and as a deputy envoy, he naturally also won military merit. That is, Jia Zhu wanted to mix in the Wenban, so he did not fulfill his military merits and became a knight and transferred to the martial arts class.
"Hard to say!" Jia Hui couldn't deny this, and planned to inquire with Tan Ji, who had been promoted to the commander of the embroidered guard, in two days.
"Ah yes, it's endless, when it comes to the Wu family, I almost forgot what I wanted to ask" Jia Hui rubbed his somewhat chaotic head, "You haven't said why Xiangyun lived in our house!" ”
"Ah yes, I almost forgot!" Jia Yu also slapped his head, "It's still the Wu family, who is that. What is the name of that Concubine Wu's own brother? ”
"Wu Renlong?" Jia Zhu thought about it for a while, Concubine Wu has two younger brothers, the eldest brother Wu Renlong is about the same age as Xiangyun, if there is a relationship, it should be him, right?
"Yes, that's him!" Jia Yu raised his wine glass and drank all the rice wine in one go, "Ahem. Some time ago, the ladies of the Shi family went to the White Horse Temple to burn incense, and it happened that the people of the Wu family also went to burn incense. When the Shi family was walking in the woods outside, they happened to be seen by that Wu Renlong, and they fell in love with our Xiangyun at a glance! ”
"What? Fancy Xiangyun? Jia Zhu looked shocked, and even turned his head to look in Shi Xiangyun's direction.
Xiangyun, who was smeared with oil by Lin Daiyu with a chicken leg against his mouth, felt something, raised his head and happened to meet Jia Zhu's gaze, grinning heartily.
"Hiss" Jia Zhu hurriedly retracted his gaze, puzzled.
"Heh, how dare the Xingjin family covet the daughter of the Bowling Hou Shi family? Don't pee on yourself to see if you are worthy, and you want a toad to eat swan meat with a big face? Jia Hui was very disdainful of this.
"That's it! But the wife of the Wu family is Concubine Wu's biological mother who spoils her son! In addition, the Wu family really wants to really step into the circle of our nobles, and this marriage has become the most effective way!
So the housewife of the Wu family relied on her grandson to be the prince, and others had to give her face, so she went to the historian's house to talk about the world when she was free, and pretended to inquire about Xiangyun's marriage, that attitude, I was afraid that after seeing Xiangyun, a hungry tiger would pounce on her and put her jade bracelet on Xiangyun's wrist! Jia Yu said with emotion.
Two days ago, the two brothers of the Shi family came over to drink with him, and the depression in their hearts was really that
I don't know what to say!
Didn't the Wu family know that the four families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue were all closely around Jia Hui and stood on the platform of the four princes?
"You've read too much, right? The Wu family wants to learn from those gate valve families to bet long? Or do you want to dig the corners of the four princes through the historians? Jia Zhu said with a ridiculous face.
In the early years, those big families were able to bet more because they themselves had a lot of resources, and the family also had a large number of talents, so they were qualified to bet long, and the Wu family.
Everyone lacks you a butcher?
"Who knows." Jia Hui shrugged his shoulders, "So the Shi family sent Xiangyun to our house to avoid the limelight?" By the way, to express that the historian has no two hearts, and firmly stands on the same front with the Jia family? ”
For today's Daqi, there seems to be no suspense about the ownership of the throne, the emperor's princes are dead and wasted, and the four princes and the seventh prince are fighting, and although the seven princes are strong, they are impatient, and they beat people if they can't quarrel, and they are like half-brothers with Jia Taiwei
"Who can say for sure? Don't forget that the current saint is less than three years older than me, it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, it seems that there is no problem in living for another twenty years, the variables are too great, my son should not be careless! Seeing that Jia Hui didn't care, Jia Yu frowned and persuaded.
He knows this too well!
The first prince was like this back then, he didn't take his second brother in his eyes, and he didn't even take him seriously at all, what happened to him?
That guy became the climate under the nose of the first prince, and even secretly provoked the first prince to rebel, so to speak, the first prince died on the opponent he unintentionally raised!
"Just rest assured, you have a sense of proportion." Jia Hui still waved his hand disapprenously, Jia Yu saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so he had to shake his head in his heart, this is a big loss to have a long memory!
In Jia Hui's opinion, the matter of Concubine Wu's eighth prince was not as serious as Jia Yu imagined.
Perhaps, this Eighth Prince didn't even dare to go to the combat troops, or he couldn't endure that hardship!
And in Daqi, a prince who does not have at least three years of complete military experience is not qualified to compete for the throne!
Don't talk about what other princes think, even the civil and military nobles below will join forces to abolish him first!
What a happy thing, dare to covet the throne!
How dare a weak chicken be the emperor of Qi?
Therefore, for at least fifteen years, there is no need to worry about the threat of this so-called Eight Princes, or even all the young princes in the back.
Since Shi Xiangyun lived in the house for this, there was nothing to do.
After instructing the soldiers to go to the Shi family and informing them of "Yu already knows about this", this matter has little to do with the Shi family, and the big brother Jia family took it!
By the time the banquet was over, it was already late, and nearly twenty people from the county mansion went home, and Jia Hui was also carried by Huang Li to the courtyard of the housemother Li Kun.
Jia Hui collapsed on the bed in a daze, letting a few maids wash herself and Li Kun.
It wasn't until the foot-washing maid wiped the water droplets on the feet of the husband and wife and changed into a clean middle coat that Jia Hui turned his head, looked at Li Kun and asked, "You should also know about Xiangyun's incident, right?" ”
Hearing this, a few maids knew that they should go down, so they left the house with everything they needed to wash, and closed the door intimately.
It wasn't until after the door closed that Li Kun slowly lay on the bed, turning sideways to look at the master with a confused gaze.
"The concubine naturally knows, but she doesn't know what the old man means, and she thinks that the day of your return home is in these few days, and there will be no delay in the left and right, and the concubine body doesn't make her own opinions, but just makes people stare at the gossip on the market." Li Kun said softly.
"Well, have there been any rumors?" Jia Hui nodded, her eyelids had already begun to fight, and she was so sleepy that she was drowsy.
"It's not true, but it found out that the Wu family once found someone who wanted to spread the word that their family was discussing marriage with the in-law of the Founding Baoling Mansion."
"Oh, the next three indiscriminate things!" Hearing this, Jia Huidu's eyes that were about to close suddenly widened, "Later?" ”
"Of course it was rejected!" Li Kun looked like a matter of course.
"What is his Wu family? In the final analysis, I am still a butcher, I don't know the rules of people like us, but as long as the city fox society rat in Luoyang City, which one does not have a decent nobleman as a backer to help us deal with some dirty work? ”
After years of experience, Li Kun has faded away from his former innocence, and he and Jia Hui have gradually grown into a qualified feudal aristocratic couple
"So, when the Wu family found the club, that group of people knew that they were going to gossip about our family, so they immediately reported to our house."
"Not bad. Yes, it's a bit of a brain. Jia Hui nodded, obviously very satisfied with the interest of this group of people.
"Who's from it?"
"People from the Niu family."
"Well, it's really my own brother."
Jia Hui sighed, and his eyelids drooped again.
"Tomorrow I will go to the Niu family with five hundred taels of silver, and let the Niu family transfer it to that community, and they will help us solve the trouble, so we can't be stingy with the reward."
"Don't worry, I went there with a thousand taels the day before yesterday." Isn't this a matter that Li Kun has come to hand on?
"That's okay" Jia Hui is still very relieved about Li Kun's methods of dealing with the world.
As for whether to give five hundred taels or one thousand taels, it doesn't matter, the family is not short of this money.
Although he is not as shrewd as Wang Xifeng, he has thrown off Wang Xifeng's fake shrewdness and confusion for several streets in terms of the overall situation and the length of his vision.
Therefore, it is enough for me to mention it like this and make a gap for her.
If you give it, you can give it, if you don't give it tomorrow, you can pull the money to give, as long as you push the problem to him Jia Hui, and say, "Because you can't be the master, you can only wait for the master to come back" This kind of scene, everyone can get by on the face.
"By the way, during this time, there is a banquet attended by the housewife of the Wu family or something, and if there is someone who suits your identity, you will go. Then find her and make it clear that Jia Shiwang Lin and Li Xue will not marry their Wu family. Call. Certain. Must have made it clear. Whew."
"Huh? Is it really so blunt? Still is. Sir, sir? Li Kun was shocked at first, this was too straightforward for her to say, but her master was already too sleepy to sleep, so Li Kun had no choice but to give up
That's it, anyway, it's good to convey the meaning of the master in place, no matter how much, sleep!
。。。。。。
Just when the Jia Shi family was bothered by the Wu family, the mother and son who were far away in Jinling were also packing their bags and preparing to leave Jinling by boat
Xue Mansion.
Although the identity of the Xue family's businessman should not be called "mansion", but the family was once the spy leader of Taizu supervising Jiangnan, an absolute henchman, plus since the establishment of Daqi, the successive heads of the family have had the false position of Ziwei Sheren, so everyone ignored the matter of the Xue family's hanging "mansion".
"Mom! My new saddle! ”
"Go ask the groom!"
"Mom! My favorite little crown? ”
"I don't know which one you like best. Isn't that just on your head? ”
"Mom! Mine."
"Oh I don't know, I don't know! Shouldn't you ask the maid in your yard to go? ”
"Ah, yes, yes, girl!"
Seeing the daily life of his mother and brother playing out in front of him, most of the anxiety that was originally due to the imminent entry into Beijing as a concubine was instantly dispersed, and Xue Baochai's small round face, which was like a silver basin, finally showed a shallow smile
Yes, a concubine.
In fact, she is seventeen years old, three years older than Lin Daiyu, she should have left for Shendu last year, but because of her father's illness and death, the Xue family can only keep filial piety for three years, that is, she will not go to Shendu until Xue Baochai is seventeen years old and out of filial piety.
is different from the original work, because of Jia Hui's big backer, Lao Xue, who is almost smooth in everything, is really happy, but he has lived for several more years!
It's a pity that after all, it is a disease at the root, this is not a disease that can be cured by maintaining physical and mental pleasure, in the winter when Xue Baochai was fifteen years old, Lao Xue couldn't survive anymore, and left the world in his sleep, and never saw the sunshine at dawn the next day.
Since then, the head of the Xue family has fallen on Xue Pan.
After all, with Jia Hui as a big backer, the elders of the family don't like the big house anymore, so they can only pinch their noses and admit it
There's no way, everyone knows why their business has been so smooth in recent years, and the great rebellion that affected the entire Jiangnan a few years ago almost killed all the families in Jiangnan, many of which are much higher than the lintel of the Xue family!
If Jia Hui hadn't given the Xue family a notice in advance on the face of the big house, they would have become lonely ghosts and ghosts!
Therefore, Xue Pan's position as the head of the family is still firmly seated in the end.
"Smiled, Mom, look, my sister smiled!"
A noise in his ears woke up Xue Baochai, who was still pondering, and looked at it fixedly, his brother and mother looked at him with joy, and his heart couldn't help but warm.
"Girl" Xue Wang looked at his daughter who was a little uneasy, and stopped talking.
At this time, her daughter's state is so similar to when she was married to the Xue family by her father, how can she not know what her daughter is worried about?
It's just that after marrying Xue Lang as his wife, this anxious heart was consumed because of the heavy errands of being the head of the house, but what about the daughter?
She's going to marry the imperial lieutenant as a concubine.
Will the housemother bully her? Will Taiwei's other concubines exclude her?
Will you not be able to eat, will you not be able to sleep, will you be homesick?
Seeing her mother's worried gaze, Xue Baochai's nose was sour, but she still forcibly held back her tears and did not shed tears, but cheered up: "Mom, what's wrong?" ”
"Oh girl, girl! My little girl! Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, Xue Wangshi couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, cried and pounced, hugged Xue Baochai tightly in his arms and kept shouting
The mother and daughter hugged each other and just kept crying without saying a word
Adult Xue Baochai officially debuted!
