Jia Zheng is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and everything that happens to him is a big deal.
After a while, Yingchun, Daiyu and other sisters, Mrs. Xing, Youshi and others came one after another to listen to the news.
The spacious hall was quickly filled with people. Even so, it was very quiet. Except for Jia Mu and a few other people, no one else dared to say a word.
The elder ladies of the clan behind the screen were embarrassed to come out to meet each other because of Jia Lian's presence, but they did not want to leave early.
Rongguo Mansion is the "weather vane" of the entire Jia clan, even inferior to Changfang Ningguo Mansion. Therefore, any disturbance here may affect the interests, life and death of the entire family, and they do not want to leave until they are convinced.
After hiding in the screen for a long time, Jia Lian showed no intention of leaving, and Jia Mu seemed to have forgotten about them. There were simply more people outside, so there were less taboos, so under the leadership of a more generous person, they all left.
came out.
Sure enough, the people in power in the two houses had no intention of being polite to them at this time. They were all thinking about their own things or communicating in low voices. They also realized what was going on and sat down in their inconspicuous seats.
There were even one or two of them who had flirted with Jia Lian and flirted with each other. When they saw Jia Lian in the middle of the crowd, they didn't even look at him, and they were all secretly jealous and complaining.
But he didn't dare to show it at all, so at this moment, Wang Xifeng put aside the things there for the time being, and rushed over wearing a filial piety belt to see the situation.
Hearing that Jia Lian seemed to know something, Sister Feng didn't hesitate. She walked to Jia Lian and bumped the sitting Jia Lian's shoulder with her elbow. When Jia Lian turned around, she asked: "Hey, how did you know it was a good thing? Could it be you?
Is your title about to come down, or is the master going to be promoted as well?"
Sister Feng has been thinking about Jia Lian's application for the title recently. Since Jia Lian's title has been obtained, she can prepare to apply for the title.
Jia Lian glanced at her and said to himself: Does my invitation have anything to do with Jia Zheng?
It was just the time to welcome the spring, and Tan Chun and others could not sit still. They all followed Sister Feng here to find out the gossip. In addition, Jia Lian also wanted to show some "extraordinary abilities" in front of Sister Feng, so he did not answer her, but turned to look at her.
Erbao asked seemingly casually:
"Brother Bao, can you still remember the appearance of your biological sister, the eldest daughter of our family?"
Jia Baoyu, who was sitting bored, was stunned when he heard this.
Of course he knew that he had a biological eldest sister, but she entered the palace when he was four or five years old, and then there was no news for so many years...
In fact, some news came back, but Jia Baoyu didn't care at all.
In his heart, no matter how beautiful and outstanding everyone says his sister is, as long as she enters the palace, she is just a common person. Huh, why bother using your innocent daughter to be tainted by the old man of the emperor!
Therefore, Jia Baoyu didn't care much about the status of his biological sister. He was suddenly asked by Jia Lian and was speechless for a moment.
Just because Jia Baoyu didn't care doesn't mean that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't care. Although they were sitting, their attention was always on Jia Lian. After all, there were so many people present, but Jia Lian was the only one who looked "well-prepared."
Upon hearing Jia Lian's words, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes, but they unanimously did not interfere and waited attentively for Jia Lian and others to continue speaking.
Sure enough, Sister Feng did not disappoint Jia Mu and others, and immediately asked: "What, you mean, this matter has something to do with the eldest daughter of our family??"
There are many reasons why Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have such a respected status in the Jia family.
Mrs. Wang's natal family is strong, Jia Zheng is an official in the court, and Jia Zheng and his wife are in charge of the Rongguo Mansion. These are all reasons.
In addition, their eldest daughter serves as the female historian next to the nobles in the palace. This is also a reason!
Even if she is just a female historian and a slave, she is still a slave beside a nobleman. At critical moments, she can talk to the nobleman!
Not to mention, this noble person is the emperor's biological mother, the concubine. For this reason, others would not dare to bully Jia Zheng and others.
Therefore, even though Jia Yuanchun has been away from home for many years, her influence has never been completely cut off.
However, she has been in the palace for too many years. Her time has passed from a young girl to now. Even Jia Mu and others thought that Yuanchun's contribution to the family would stop here. Even Jia Mu sometimes dreamed about it at midnight.
, will secretly regret that they should not have listened to the advice of Jia Zheng and others, and should not have sent their precious eldest granddaughter to a place where no one can see people, such as the palace, to pursue a vague hope.
Jia Yuanchun, like Sanchun, was raised by Jia's mother.
So over the years, people in the family gradually stopped mentioning Yuanchun because they were afraid of making Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang sad.
At this moment, Jia Lian suddenly mentioned it! They all knew that Jia Lian was not a talker. Since Jia Lian mentioned it like this, there must be a reason. For a moment, Jia Mu and others were all excited.
Jia Lian also saw the bashful eyes of Jia Mu and others, and knew that their hearts must be agitated at this time. A kind of pleasure called foresight lingered in Jia Lian's heart. He thought that Mrs. Wang would be proud of it later, and even in
After I gained support and gained confidence, I dared to confront him... But at least at this moment, he was the happy one.
So he still ignored Sister Feng directly, only looked at Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Bao is interested in changing to a bright and noble identity?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stand up and scolded Jia Lian half to death in her heart: "If you have something to say, you can't say it clearly. People who seduce people like this feel itchy..."
Mrs. Wang is a smart person. Excluding the possibility that Jia Lian is talking nonsense, Jia Lian actually means something straight!
But this point was so important to her that she didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes for a while.
Could it be that the eldest sister has been favored by the emperor? Should she keep it for herself or give it to some prince or prince? Can she have a noble title?
Talented person? Promise? Concubine?
Too many uncertainties made Mrs. Wang feel very uncomfortable. If Jia Lian was his son, she would definitely step forward and grab his ears at this time and ask him to recruit him as soon as possible!
There were many smart people in the room, and for a while everyone looked at the Jia Lian brothers, waiting for them to continue talking.
Jia Baoyu felt a little weak at such a posture, and said: "I don't understand what the second brother Lian said, what he said, what he said, what his noble status was, I don't understand..."
"Hehehe, it's okay if you don't understand now. Maybe you will understand later."
Jia Lian seemed to have casually chatted with Jia Baoyu. After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Xichun in front of him. He reached out and tied the mourning scarf on her forehead again.
Xichun was still very young, and Jia Lian's forehead was even with hers even when he was sitting.
He retreated freely this time, and his behavior was cool, but it made all the ladies in the hall feel very unhappy.
Xichun's face was red, and she stood obediently in front of Jia Lian, feeling that she had never been paid attention to by so many people.
Sister Feng's eyes were filled with annoyance. How dare you ignore her without any conscience!
When the others saw that Jia Lian didn't even pay attention to Sister Feng, they were naturally very sensible and didn't ask any questions...
