Chapter 234 Is it too much for us to be crowned king?
Chapter 234 It’s not too much to make a king, right?
Well...although there were slight changes, the Xue family, mother and son, finally moved into Lixiangyuan at the suggestion of the Wang family.
This Lixiangyuan is said to be a residence for the old man to recuperate in his later years, but in fact, Master Jia Dai Shanyi has no injuries to recuperate from. This is just the residence of a concubine who died of illness in his early years. The old man occasionally comes here to see things and think about people.
That’s all.
It's just that such things are naturally kept taboo by His Holiness, and to the outside world it is only said that it was the old man's retreat in his later years.
However, Lixiangyuan is really a nice little courtyard. It is a typical two-entry courtyard with about ten houses. It has a front hall and a back room. There is also another door leading to the market. Xue Pan and his family usually go here more often.
Door entry and exit.
There is a corner door in the southeast, which leads to a passage. The exit of the passage is to the east of Mrs. Wang's main room in the West Road Courtyard.
Every day, after meals or in the evening, Aunt Xue could come over to chat with Mrs. Wang, or go to Rongqing Hall to chat with the old lady.
Baochai often got together with Daiyu, Xiangyun, Yingchun and other sisters, either reading, playing chess, doing needlework, or watching the little dragons playing together, and they got along very happily.
At Lixiangyuan, pear blossoms as pure and beautiful as ice and snow hang one by one among the branches and leaves, which is also a grand scene.
The pavilion and hanging flower door in the courtyard are also very exquisite, and are decorated with a small rockery, which makes the Lixiang courtyard look a little more interesting in late spring.
The screens on the porch were half open and half closed, and among the chirping of cicadas and birds, a butterfly danced lightly under the pear tree.
On the couch in the room, a quiet and dignified little beauty was sitting. She was holding a brocade silk, and her almond-shaped eyes were focused on doing the girl's work.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in with a silver-gilt sapphire lamp in her hand. She gently placed the lamp on the red sandalwood table, smiled and said warmly: "My son, the sky in this sacred city is gradually changing."
It’s starting to get hot, why don’t you take a break and do all this?”
The middle-aged woman is naturally Aunt Xue, the head of the Xue family, Mrs. Xue Wang, and the "my son" she refers to is her daughter, Xue Baochai.
Hearing this, Baochai slowly put down the things in his hands, raised his warm apricot eyes and looked at his mother with a faint smile:
"Mom, why don't you take a rest? I'm afraid the old lady and aunt are still taking a lunch break at the moment. You should also learn from them and take care of yourself."
Aunt Xue chuckled: "It's not because of your brother."
Baochai asked curiously: "What's wrong with my brother?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that your brother listened to that brother Lian and planned to study at the Jia Clan School in August next year.
I heard that the Jia clan's school is very good in Shenjing City. The students in the school can produce at least seven or eight talented people every time they take the exam, and they also teach the disciples with outstanding qualifications how to practice. Isn't this what our Xue family
Is it in short supply..."
"Really? My brother is actually willing to have such thoughts? Mom, why does it sound unreal to me?"
"Who says it's not the case? Now I can only hope that after encountering that difficulty, Pan'er has finally grown a little."
"If my brother is willing to enroll in such a famous school, my mother should be happy."
Aunt Xue smiled bitterly when she heard this: "My son, you still don't know what kind of character your brother is. If he is willing to study in peace and make progress, I, as a mother, will naturally be overjoyed. I am afraid that he will be a third-year-old."
One day for fishing and two days for drying nets, and it is very possible that he just said that he wanted to learn from the Jia clan."
Baochai was thoughtful when he heard the words: "Then you just said that my brother decided to go to school after listening to the words of the second brother Lian?"
Aunt Xue nodded: "Yes, your brother is right what he said today."
"Then there is a way. I often go with the sisters from the Jia family. I have met Brother Lian a few times before, and I often hear the sisters talk about the deeds of this second brother. Since my brother has promised Lian Er,
I’m going to join the clan school in August, so I guess I won’t be able to escape this, hehe~”
As a good friend of the family, Jia Lian has naturally met this sister Baochai, but he has not had many opportunities to communicate temporarily and has not had a few serious conversations.
"Ah? Then... Brother Lian won't do anything to your brother, right?"
Baochai glanced at her mother helplessly. Naturally, she understood in her heart that the mother in front of her was partly responsible for why her brother Xue Pan developed such a playboy attitude today.
Whenever things related to her brother Xue Pan, my mother would scold him non-stop, but in her heart she doted on Xue Pan. In the past, she was the one who indulged her brother the most, and she was also my mother.
But who made her father die young? It was extremely difficult for her mother, Aunt Xue, who was a womanly woman, to be able to raise a pair of children and save most of the Xue family's family business.
As a daughter, she really has no position to talk about her brother. At this moment, Baochai really hopes in her heart that an elder can come forward to control her brother.
She had always known that Xue Pan had some unspeakable problems, and this time something like this happened in Jinling, which made her mother, Aunt Xue, and herself worried for a long time.
Aunt Xue had no choice but to follow her sister Wang's suggestion and move her family to Beijing. She probably had this in mind.
In this case, wouldn't it be a good thing if that second brother Lian could play a role?
Although the identity of this second brother and cousin-in-law is a little further away than that of his uncle Jia Zheng...
Baochai thought like this and began to comfort her mother.
"Mom, you just said that you know your brother's temperament, so you should know how rare it is for our family to meet an elder who is willing and able to take care of his brother. This time, please don't act like you are treating the second brother.
Uncle is like that..."
Second uncle Xue Ming, Baochai was originally unwilling to mention it because his mother was really sorry for her brother's affairs.
But unlike his brother's lawsuit last time, his second uncle actually ignored the past grudges and insisted on taking care of many things despite himself being ill.
Mentioning his second uncle was more or less like a daughter blaming her mother, but this time in order to admonish her mother, Baochai could only break the rule once.
Aunt Xue was suffocated when she heard this. She looked at her daughter's elegant brows and frowned slightly. Her mind was spinning, and she immediately understood her daughter's thoughts.
At this moment, instead of being angry, she felt a pang of distress in her heart. The so-called beloved daughter, Mo Ruomu, seemed to have been shocked by what happened to Xue Pan before.
Forget it, that evildoer should suffer some hardships...
It has been half a month since the Xue family moved into Lixiangyuan. In addition, the Xue family still has business and manpower in Beijing. At this time, Aunt Xue no longer has the same dark eyes on Rongguo Mansion and her natal Wang family as she did before moving to Beijing.
Speaking of Jia Lian alone, his wife was recognized as an adopted daughter by His Majesty. She even entered the royal family and became a titled princess!
As a member of the royal merchant family for generations, although Aunt Xue is just a wife of the back house, she still understands that the identity of Princess Yongji is not simple.
Just like that, Jia Lian actually married an equal wife, and this equal wife was actually the niece of his natal family. She was the legitimate daughter of the Wang family!
Although her natal Wang family is not considered to be the top family in Daqing, a nobleman of Bo's level cannot be manipulated by others. In this case, the legitimate daughter must be married to Jia Lian as a wife.
Although Aunt Xue has not yet understood the deeper reasons, and may never be qualified to understand them, she is still slightly worried about her precious son coming into contact with Jia Lian.
But fortunately, Princess Yongji seems to be relatively easy to get along with. According to her daughter, her "keqing sister" treats her very well and treats Baochai no better than the other sisters in the Jia family.
From this point of view, it seems that people really treat their mother and son as serious relatives, and contact them. I hope I am overly concerned...
When Aunt Xue and her family moved into Rongguo Mansion, they did not actually live as guests. Instead, they were "exempted from all daily expenses and supplies."
This means that although the Xue family lives in Lixiangyuan, they only live in the house in Rongguo Mansion. All other living expenses, including the maids and servants, are paid by themselves.
He also said that this is the way to get along with each other for a long time.
This is true. Wang thought that the Xue family had no shortcomings in money, so she fulfilled her wish.
The arrival of the Xue family was actually a turning point for Wang's situation. Although she had ended the period of being punished in the Buddhist hall, she was no longer allowed to go to Rongqing Hall by the old lady on weekdays.
Even the Rongqing Hall, the core of power in the back house of Rongguo Mansion, cannot be contacted. The Wang family's "power" in Rongguo Mansion has naturally plummeted in recent years.
In addition, Jia Zheng and his family have all moved to Xiluyuan. In recent years, the Wang family has experienced the unevenness of life all over.
After all, the old lady felt sorry for Yao'er. Aunt Xue's arrival was just for the sake of her youngest son, Jia Zheng, so the old lady had to give the Wang family some face.
So the Wang family has recently started to come in and out of Rongqing Hall again, which makes Feng Lazi Wang Xifeng feel a little uncomfortable.
After so many years of getting along with Qin Keqing, she and Qin Keqing have already formed a lot of tacit understanding. Now most of the housekeepers' rights in Rongguo Mansion actually fall into the hands of Wang Xifeng.
Qin Keqing has the title of princess, and her status in the back house is naturally as stable as Mount Tai. Wang Xifeng also knows that she can never compete for this.
Since she couldn't fight, she simply chose to stand with Qin Keqing and unify the camp. This was also the fundamental reason why Wang Xifeng was able to hold great power now.
As for Qin Keqing, besides the Rongguo Mansion, there is also a Yongji Princess Mansion that needs to be taken care of. She is also happy with the peace and tranquility of her family home. Of course, she will not make any trouble after Wang Xifeng showed her good intentions.
After all, the only women in Jia Lian's back house who could practice cultivation at this time were Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng.
Having seen the magic of the "fairy world" (system), the two women naturally understood that compared to women like Zhiyu, Xie Yurong and even Ping'er, they were the ones who would accompany Jia Lian to spend the rest of his life for hundreds of years...
However, Wang's re-entry has caused a slight uproar in the originally settled back house of Rongguo Mansion. The dual status of the elders of her mother's family and her husband's family gives Wang a natural advantage over Wang Xifeng.
But Wang Xifeng also quickly found a way to deal with it, and that was to use her title of "Sister Princess"!
Now when Wang Xifeng encounters Mr. Wang looking for trouble, the first thing she says is "My sister said..." and "Sister Qing said..."
There is really no good way for Mrs. Wang to play rogue to Wang Xifeng. If she were to ask Qin Keqing face to face, she would certainly not have the guts.
In other words, she knew without asking that Qin Keqing would definitely side with Wang Xifeng.
It's not that Wang Xifeng, the niece, has to go against her biological aunt, but one represents the interests of the second wife, and the other represents the interests of the eldest brother who has inherited the title. There are always some things that inevitably lead to disputes.
In addition, the current relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian is not the kind of husband and wife relationship in the original timeline. Wang Xifeng obviously needs to rely on Jia Lian more. This is a real case of marrying and obeying her husband, and not being able to be a mother locust...
Jia Lian had never concealed his attitude towards the Wang family before. Wang Xifeng even believed that the reason why Jia Lian was lukewarm towards the Wang family was largely because of his aunt Wang.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the aunt and nephew to be on the same side.
Fortunately, both of them wanted to save face after all, and neither of them showed any discord in front of Aunt Xue, but they managed to maintain the situation without embarrassing the old lady.
Although Aunt Xue was vaguely aware of it, she just lamented that the rules of a large family were complicated and did not ask more questions.
Jia Lian was naturally very interested in Baochai's sister, but Baochai was a rare beauty even though she had smooth muscles and bones, was dignified and fair, and was elegant in manners.
But Baochai is just a little girl who has just entered junior high school. It is unrealistic to say that after stripping away the halo of the name "Xue Baochai", there is anything else that can tempt Jia Lian.
Nowadays, Jia Lian really doesn't lack much in terms of beauty and beauty. He is not one of those who is hungry for sex. In addition, the seven or eight people in his backyard are actually not too few.
But this is Xue Baochai. Who can refuse the sister Baochai they dream of?
What's more, when you can't accept Sanchun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun, well... Sanchun is definitely not acceptable. She is her own sister, the kind who really knows how to enter orthopedics.
The age difference between Xiangyun and Daiyu is quite big. At least Jia Lian himself has never thought about it so far.
But Baochai is different, although there is indeed some roundabout relationship starting from Wang Xifeng.
But this does not prevent Jia Lian from having some thoughts about her...
If you can't even collect Baochai, then what's the point of this world, right?
It's just that Xue Baochai came to Beijing this time to be a member of the imperial palace, so he might have some troubles with the imperial palace from now on.
Furthermore, although the Xue family has declined, they have been related by marriage to the Jia family for many years, and they have never been caught by Jia Lian like the Wang family did in the past. I am afraid that it is impossible for Xue Baochai to be a concubine.
What's more, Jia Lian already has two wives, one Zheng and one Ping. This matter can only be discussed in the long term, but fortunately, he still has a lot of time to plan.
At present, Jia Lian does not show any special interest in Baochai, but treats her as the same as the sisters in the Jia family.
Hmm...Actually, I am also struggling with the fact that I have to be interested in a Huaguduo...
But in this case, it’s time to find a time to speak to the Supreme Emperor and ask for a nicer title, like a king...
To be honest, we have already expanded our territory thousands of miles for Daqing, so being crowned a king or something like that is not too much, right?
Thanks to Mr. Qi Fengyun for the two hundred rewards, I wish him a critical hit at the end of the year!
