Mrs. Qin was left by her mother-in-law to help Sister Feng take care of things in the inner house, but now that Jia She's funeral has been completed, almost all the relatives and friends who should come to express their condolences have come, so the overall situation is not as busy as before.
Moreover, Sister Feng took care of all aspects of the house, and there was nothing that required help from others, or there were very few places where others could help, so Qin felt like she had nothing to do after being around for half a day.
Because she heard that Jia Lian had been awarded the title of Second Class General, Mrs. Qin was very happy for Jia Lian and Sister Feng.
With Jia Lian's ability, and now with Gao Jue at his side, he is even more powerful. From now on, the future is unlimited, even if the glory of their ancestors is restored, it may not be impossible!
Think about it again, Ningguo Mansion, in the hands of the father-in-law Jia Zhen, only has the third rank.
With Jia Zhen's comfort, wealth and honor, and Jia Rong's cowardice and incompetence, the possibility of being promoted to a knighthood based on military merit is very slim. Therefore, even if their title can be successfully passed on in the future, it will only be in the fourth or fifth class if it is passed to Jia Rong.
At the end of his life, he has lost his title.
Although the Qin family is a female generation, she has always had some extraordinary insights.
At this time, Jia Lian saw that the gap between the two Jia families would only get bigger and bigger in the future. If the generation under Jia Rong in Ningguo Mansion is still like this, no one can carry the lintel, I am afraid that it will take decades for the two houses
After that, it will eventually become the difference between heaven and below...
In this way, Qin's heart could not help but feel that those ridiculous and evil thoughts in the past were very ridiculous.
Both Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are ridiculous and shameless people. Compared with the truly noble people in the world, they are not worth mentioning. So why bother with them? If you push hard, it will be extremely difficult.
At that time, it was just a death, and he could still be clean and innocent.
In this way, I can face my mother-in-law Youshi calmly.
For more than a year, Youshi has supervised her in almost every aspect, and they all know why.
The Qin family, whose heart is open, just wants to have a good relationship with the people in Rongguo Mansion. Because she has long understood that, in addition to Jia Jing, who has become a monk, there are people who can control Jia Zhen and make Jia Zhen scruple and fear.
There are only a few people from Rongguo Mansion.
Moreover, I am afraid that my mother-in-law may not be a stoic person, and she may have some grudges with Uncle Lian.
If I could hold some of her head and tail...even if I didn't intend to control her, at least I wouldn't have to feel so guilty and embarrassed when we get along with her in the future.
In fact, she and Youshi are not much different in age. When she first entered the house, although they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they got along like sisters. It was after the rumors about her and Jia Zhen spread,
The relationship between her and Youshi became subtle.
Since I had nothing to do, I thought so, so I came out of the steward's room, pretending to be strolling around, but in fact I secretly visited Jia Lian's whereabouts.
She happened to walk to Jia Lian's newly tidied inner study, which was the yard where Jia Lian executed the poisonous woman Yang that day. Seeing Jia Lian's two maids guarding the door of the study, Qin knew that Jia Lian was indeed inside.
I wanted to go there, but I was afraid that it would look too abrupt, so I wandered around for a long time, then suddenly turned back to look for Yingchun and the others.
Li Wan accompanied Jia Mu and others to the palace, but Wang Xifeng was too busy and had no energy to take care of the sisters-in-law at home, so she entrusted Yingchun and others to the care of the Qin family.
Arriving at the mourning hall in the main hall, Mrs. Qin accompanied Yingchun and others to finish burning paper, and then took them downstairs to rest temporarily.
Because they talked about Jia Lian's ennoblement, Yingchun, Daiyu and others were very happy for Jia Lian. They wanted to congratulate Jia Lian to thank him for his daily care and concern for their sisters, but they were a little worried.
For example, if Jia Lian is too busy, will it disturb Jia Lian? Also, Jia Lian is very filial at this time, so it would be inappropriate to say congratulations to him...
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "Second uncle must not be busy today. Now there are fewer guests coming outside. In comparison, Aunt Lian is in charge of all these things inside and outside by herself.
Now, Uncle Lian has a lot of leisure time.
When he is fine, he is dying in the study in the backyard. If my aunts want to see him, I will take you to Uncle Lian's study."
At this time, everyone was gathered in Yingchun's room. After hearing what Qin said, Tanchun immediately smiled and said, "In that case, let's go to Brother Lian's study. If he is really busy, we will
Just don’t bother him too much.”
So everyone got up and took one or two personal maids with them to find Jia Lian.
After walking a few steps, I arrived at the courtyard where Jia Lian's study was located. Sure enough, Jia Lian's foreign maid was still standing at the door of the study.
As soon as they saw her cold temperament, the man's well-dressed man, and especially the sword that was always with him, they felt an inexplicable chill and even spoke softly.
It is said that wearing swords at home is a privilege given by Jia Lian to A Qi and A Qin. In fact, the big family does not allow servants to hold sharp weapons, especially in the inner courtyard. Therefore, Jia Lian almost never takes A Qi and A Qin to honor.
Qingtang.
Yingchun and other ladies are naturally afraid of such people. If they were not Jia Lian's maids, they would definitely avoid him. Even so, they would not be able to get close to him.
Qin was working here as a director during this period, but he often interacted with the people around Jia Lian, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is the second uncle in there?"
Aqi nodded, didn't say anything, and didn't mean to stop her.
Mrs. Qin invited everyone in, but found Jia Baoyu standing still, looking straight at Aqi.
"Uncle Bao, let's go in." Mrs. Qin smiled and pulled Jia Baoyu's arm. She knew that Jia Baoyu must have had the problem of being unable to walk after seeing a beautiful girl.
Seeing that everyone was laughing at Jia Baoyu, Xiren quickly pushed him too.
Jia Baoyu's face turned red, and his close contact with Mr. Qin reminded him of the wet dream that day in Mr. Qin's house. A boy's first time is always so unforgettable and unforgettable.
Busily lowering his head, he stepped through the threshold.
Tanchun walked in front, but she didn't see Jia Baoyu's embarrassment. She went straight into the study and when she saw Jia Lian, she shouted loudly: "Second brother Lian, we are here to say congratulations to you. What are you doing?"
In the study, Jia Lian asked Guai Xiangling to help him copy the memorial text, while he put one leg on the desk and lay on the Taishi chair to read comfortably.
Hearing the voices of Qin and others outside, he lowered his legs and sat upright.
"Why are you here..."
"Haha, of course I'm here to congratulate my second brother, Jue Lu, for his high status."
"How dare you? You're just relying on Zude. It's nothing. You all just sit down."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Jia Lian invited everyone to sit down.
On the tea table on the other side, someone was playing dice. Qingwen, who had been bored for a long time, saw Tanchun and others walking in, and immediately greeted them and offered them tea.
Because Jia Lian and his wife were very easy-going towards the sisters at home, the sisters were not very restrained when they came to their house. When Xichun saw the exquisite dice placed on the tea table, he immediately signaled to Jia Baoyu, and then they went forward to enjoy them together, and
Praise: "What a beautiful dice~"
Qingwen smiled proudly and said: "This is what the second master just gave me."
After saying that, he immediately bewitched Xichun: "Fourth girl, let's play dice to compare the size, how about we bet up to ten cents?"
Although Xichun is the mistress of the house, she is still young and also playful. When she heard this, she immediately became interested. When she heard Qingwen said she wanted to gamble, she looked at her maid, Xiao Ruhua.
After entering the painting, he naturally understood what Xichun meant. He immediately touched the small purse on his waist and remembered that there was only some broken silver in it. After thinking about it, he took out a handful of his own pocket money from his clothes bag...
Qingwen was really happy and invited others to come too.
Seeing that everyone was attracted by Qingwen, Daiyu walked to Jia Lian and said to Jia Lian in a way that seemed to be a suggestion but also a joke: "Look at her, she just opened a gambling game in your house, and you don't care about it?
"
Jia Lian smiled and replied: "She doesn't usually act like this. Aren't you guys here? She is helping me to entertain guests. I'm happy before it's too late, so who cares what she does?"
Tanchun didn't like making trouble with the slaves either, so he walked away.
Hearing what Jia Lian said, he disagreed and said, "Second brother Lian is just trying to excuse her. Why don't the maids in other people's houses dare to treat guests like this for their master, but she alone does?"
Seeing that Jia Lian didn't reply, everyone just smiled and said nothing more.
As an elder, the status of those who serve the venerable is different. What's more, everyone knows more or less that Qingwen's identity is not just a maid.
Xiren, who was standing by the side like other maids, saw this scene in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
I'm afraid even Second Master Bao can't be so generous to the people around him... Second Master Bao himself is tolerant, but there is nothing he can do if his wife and old lady are not allowed. As for Second Master He Rulian, he opened
