Across the courtyard in the east, the servants and boys on duty and off duty were swarming around without caring about their food.
Yang came out to see Mrs. Xing and wanted to talk to her brother. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly stopped a boy and asked the reason.
"My aunt doesn't know that there is news from the mansion over there that Second Master Lian wants to select ten people in Nanyuan who will be responsible for escorting him in the future.
Auntie, think about it, the Second Master is now a court official in the Military and Horse Department, and it is a new official taking office. The huge Army and Horse Department does not know how many manpower it needs. If you follow the Second Master, you may be able to work in the Yamen in the future. Then
But it’s such a great thing, can’t the slaves hurry up and give it a try..."
The boy finished speaking quickly, not wanting to waste any time, so he casually hit Qianer and ran away.
When Yang saw this, his mood naturally worsened.
She could understand the thoughts of these servants. In the mansion over there, among the servants around the second master, those who were responsible for escorting the second master Jia Zheng to court every day and who could help Jia Zheng carry the official sedan were in the mansion.
Arrogant and obviously superior to others.
They were jealous, and now that Jia Lian was on the job, they naturally wanted to take advantage of this Qiao Zong!
Suddenly, they felt powerless. Originally, Jia Lian's status as a direct eldest son had already overwhelmed them, and now he was even more worthy of a high-ranking official. If this continues, even if Jia She doesn't like Jia Lian anymore, she and her Cong'er will have nothing to do with each other.
Opportunity.
Now, what should she do, and what else can she do...
…
Northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.
Since the death of the old Duke, the quiet courtyard that was once deserted is now prosperous again.
Because the Xue family moved in.
The Xue family is a wealthy family in Jinling. Although most of the slaves who came to Beijing during this trip were placed in the Xue family's old house, and only a dozen people were brought into the Jia family to serve. However, the Xue family's exquisite life has not diminished, so this little
The courtyard you entered by chance is full of vitality.
At this time, the Xue family naturally heard about Jia Lian's appointment, but because Jia Lian was a junior and his father was ill in bed, it was difficult to go to congratulate him in person.
However, some discussion is inevitable.
In the main house in the backyard, in the outer hall of Aunt Xue's bedroom, the mother and daughter of the Xue family were talking. Suddenly, Xue Pan walked in carelessly, and shouted when they saw her: "Mom~... my sister is here too, um, you heard
No, the second brother Lian in their mansion has been promoted, and he is still very high! I heard that he is the commander of the Military and Horse Department, who is responsible for fighting on the interface and other matters. Hey, I will not be afraid of fighting with others in the future. It will cause trouble.
They killed me and asked Brother Lian to bring someone to deal with them..."
Aunt Xue was very angry at this time. When she saw Xue Pan and heard these words from his mouth, she suddenly became very angry.
"You still have the nerve to say that I am only four or five years older than you, and now you are an upright fourth-grade official. What about you, besides eating wine and watching movies every day, what else do you do? I usually ask you to follow the shopkeeper more often.
If we learn to govern the world and economy, you will complain endlessly!
You are envious of others now, but you don't know that their official positions are all obtained by going to the bitter and cold places at the border to gain experience.
And you, you have the nerve to mention a fight, but you dare to hurt people’s lives just for the sake of an actor..."
Aunt Xue became angrier and angrier as she talked, so that her complexion turned bad, which made Baochai quickly give her some relief.
Xue Pan came in happily to announce the good news, but he was ostracized as soon as they met. He immediately complained: "Isn't that matter over? Why do you still bring it up? Do you have to ask me to do it for you?" Can we pay for it with our lives?
If you want to complain that I am not as good as Brother Lian and can't bring glory to your old face, then I am willing to go to that battlefield and strive for fame and glory, but I am afraid that you will not worry about it.
Alas, why bother? We have to compare with other people, and we don’t want to think about how our family can compare with his family? What’s the point? Their second brother Lian will have to inherit the title in the future. According to the current situation of their family, he will inherit it. At least he is a second- and third-grade general...
That's it, what should we compare with others?
You still blame me and tell me who to blame, is it because I was born into a poor family?"
Seeing that Xue Pan was babbling non-stop, Baochai said, "Just say a few words less. I didn't see my mother acting like this. Why are you so angry with her?"
Speaking of which, the Xue family is not as particular as the Jia family. Baochai and Xue Pan usually call them "Mom" at home, and only call them "Mrs." or "Mother" when outsiders are present. This makes them look like mother and son, mother and daughter. The relationship between them is closer.
"Let him say it."
Aunt Xue became even more angry and scolded: "I'm surprised. Aren't you usually quite domineering outside? Why do you think that when you meet someone you can't compare with, you just say it's because of your family background?
You are unwilling to make progress yourself, why are you complaining that your family background is not as good as yours? Our ancestors also had first-class official positions, and they are not far behind theirs."
Xue Pan laughed when he heard this, "That was all from the old calendar of many years ago. Mom, don't be unconvinced. We have to admit that we can't compare. Seriously, there are a few people in the world who can compare with them. Can we?" To maintain such wealth for a hundred years?
If we can't compare with them, we won't be ashamed."
Aunt Xue just laughed angrily. She said he was smart. She never had an opinion in her heart. She said he was not smart. These problems were quite clear to her and she couldn't refute them.
"You, it's just this little nonsense. I'm too lazy to tell you, and you won't listen even if I tell you.
Our family is absolutely not good at all, but we have left you a job title in the household department. I just hope you will be more careful and don't lose this one. Otherwise, even if you go underground, I won't be able to do it. I have to face the ancestors of your Xue family."
When Xue Pan heard this, he wanted to talk back. Baochai next to him glared at him. After thinking about it, he felt it was boring and said in a wan tone, "Hey, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
When Xue Pan went out, Aunt Xue took Baochai and sighed: "Your brother is like this. I don't want him to be able to honor our ancestors. I just hope that he can support the family business in the future and not be plotted by others." Fortunately."
Baochai was actually a little dissatisfied with her brother, but after all, he was her brother, so it was hard to say anything bad about him, so she only consoled her: "Mom, don't say such things. My brother is still young and is not sensible. Maybe he will be better in the future."
When I get older, I wake up.
Didn’t mom hear that second cousin Lian was similar to his elder brother when he was a boy, but it’s just changed over the years? Now that mom looks at him, do you think there’s anything bad about him?”
Huh……
I have to say that Baochai is really good at comforting people. With just one word, Aunt Xue's worries turned to joy and she began to look forward to her.
"What you're saying is that your aunt is someone who can't lie. What she said a few years ago must be true.
If you think about it, the last time we saw him at the old house in Jinling, he didn't have any serious official position or title. Now, less than two years have passed, who would have thought that there is a huge difference?"
The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the more strange she felt. When she saw Jia Lian for the first time, she felt that Jia Lian was not comparable to ordinary children of aristocratic families.
Who would have thought that she still misjudged him, and in such a short period of time, Jia Lian would be able to have such good luck and luck?
He was promoted so quickly that he could almost keep up with the older generation!
"Girl Feng, you are a lucky person."
Aunt Xue suddenly sighed.
Baochai couldn't help but feel a little sad after hearing this.
The greatest luck for a woman in the world is to be able to marry a husband as she wishes.
Cousin Xifeng seems to be the lucky one, but what about her?
In order to express his favor, the emperor not only hired and selected concubines, but also selected famous girls from aristocratic families for the princesses and princesses of the royal family to serve as talented people and to praise the good.
My mother had sent her Gengchen up last autumn, so of course she wouldn't say anything if he didn't pass.
Even if it passes, from now on, she will probably become a female official next to those royal ladies, and her fate will be completely in the hands of others.
So, who are you qualified to talk about happiness?
