In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu did not invite all the ladies to the inner hall to talk, but sat with them in the hall.
After finally waiting for Sister Feng to come back, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang and others immediately gathered around and anxiously asked Jia Lian what he meant.
Originally, their lineage of founding heroes was headed by the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, but among the four kings, King Beijing, who could speak in front of the emperor, was not in Beijing.
The only one left is the Jia family, headed by Eight Dukes, and now the person in charge of the Jia family is undoubtedly Jia Lian.
Coupled with the rumors that Jia Lian is now pregnant with the prince's grandson, it is even more a life-saving straw for them.
Facing all the aunts and uncles, Sister Feng replied solemnly: "Our Lord Marquis said that he is deeply concerned and sorry for what happened to Uncle Niu, Uncle Qi, and Brother Shi.
If possible, he would also like to lend a helping hand.
It's just a pity that now we, the Marquis, can't protect ourselves.
I'm afraid you aunts and uncles still don't know that our Lord Marquis has also been implicated in the changes in the court situation. Just yesterday, our Lord Marquis was dismissed from all official positions by the emperor and ordered him to be filial to his father at home and not to go out without any reason.
.
Therefore, even if our Lord Marquis wants to save people, I am afraid that we are unable to do so."
When Sister Feng said this, not to mention others, even Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were shocked. If they were not worried about outsiders, they would have asked questions.
The wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang and others were even more astonished: "How could this happen? It is not said that the prince was rebellious this time. It was the Marquis of Zhenyuan who brought troops and horses to protect Prince Qin and made an immortal contribution. How could the emperor remove Marquis of Zhenyuan from his official position?"
?”
"Yes, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has always been trusted by the Emperor. Now it is rumored that he is the grandson of the Supreme Emperor. How could the Emperor remove him from his official position..."
Sister Feng waved her hands and said helplessly: "I don't know exactly what happened, but that's the fact. Today, our Marquis has not gone to the Yamen to order mao. Think about it, the emperor doesn't even have the official position of our Marquis.
If they are all dismissed, how can we, the Marquis, save people from His Majesty..."
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
Yes, they thought that Jia Lian was the holy family member of Youlong, so they thought of asking Jia Lian to save them.
But if Jia Lian himself is disliked and jealous by the emperor, then even if Jia Lian is willing to take risks to save others, it will only be counterproductive.
For a while, everyone was a little worried. Even those who had not had any trouble at home were afraid that they would be involved in this storm in the future and no one would be able to save them.
As the head wives of major mansions, they know much more than ordinary people.
Some of them have already guessed the reason why Jia Lian was dismissed from office.
Although the outside world said that this was the prince's rebellion, many people actually knew what was really going on.
In the eyes of these people, it was reasonable for Jia Lian to be dismissed from office by Emperor Ningkang. After all, if Jia Lian was really the grandson of the Supreme Emperor, he would be a time bomb for Emperor Ningkang, so it was inevitable that he would be jealous and suppressed by Emperor Ningkang.
On that day, the Supreme Emperor also used this as an excuse to persuade Jia Lian to defect.
So in the eyes of these people, the Jia family, which is so big, is not strong, and might be liquidated by Emperor Ningkang one day...
In order to get rid of these people as soon as possible, Sister Feng comforted her: "But aunts and uncles, don't worry, our Marquis also said that he is also paying attention to the situation in the DPRK. If there is a chance, he can rescue people.
We will still try our best, please rest assured."
Everyone who didn't have much hope for the Jia family listened to these words again. If they had any intention of staying, they could only say goodbye and find other solutions.
Only the wife of the Mei family did not give up. When they were almost gone, she said: "Well, my Qi'er is no better than Uncle Niu and the others. He has a low status and is only locked up in the prison. It is expected that with the reputation of Zhenyuan Marquis
, even if he is no longer an official in the court, the Beizhen Fusi will give him some mercy. Maybe as long as the Marquis of Zhenyuan is willing to come forward, they will let him go..."
Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were speechless, and Sister Feng even said sarcastically: "It's not like you don't know where Beizhen Fusi is. Those Jinyi guards have always been arrogant and domineering. How can they give face to anyone except the emperor?"
?
Your Mei family is not a small family, have they ever given you Mei family thin noodles?"
"you……"
Aunt Xue couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "That's it! You were the ones trying to shirk the engagement at first, but now that your son is in trouble, you have the nerve to use this as a threat!
Just go ahead, we can't help you with this matter, and we won't help you, so you can find other ways to do it."
Mrs. Mei's wife was stunned. Looking at Aunt Xue's tone, did she not intend to recognize this marriage?
How dare she...
"You, you...you have to think clearly! The engagement has been made long ago. If my son is gone, your girl will be left alone..."
Aunt Xue was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She finally saw clearly the face of the Mei family. They used people to go forward and not people to go behind. That was the case then, and even more so now.
Being so dishonest and unrighteous, even if Qin'er marries their family in the future, it may not bring any help to the family.
Not to mention that Mei Qi was also involved in a major treason case. It was doubtful whether he could survive. Why let Qin'er go to such troubled waters?
Anyway, Qin'er is still young. The worst thing she can do is renegotiate with her mother and find a lower family background!
Having made up her mind, Aunt Xue became more and more stubborn. Knowing that Jia Mu and others could not evict the guests for the sake of the Xue family, she took the initiative to evict the guests.
"Okay, okay, just wait. After my son comes out, even if you beg us to fulfill our engagement, we will never agree!"
Mrs. Mei's wife left Jia's house angrily.
Her servant asked: "Madam, didn't I say that only the Jia family can save the eldest son? If you just have a quarrel with them, what will the eldest son do?"
"How do I know what to do? Return to the Jia family. You haven't heard that Jia Lian has been dismissed from office. The Jia family is in trouble. How do you still expect them to help us save people? Go back to the house and discuss the rescue with the master again.
Qi’er’s matter…”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
After Rongqing Hall was finally quiet, Mrs. Wang and others helped Jia Mu into the inner hall.
But Jia Mu has not forgotten the most important thing: "Girl Feng, did you just say that Lian'er has been dismissed from office?"
Sister Feng nodded.
"What's going on? This kid didn't tell me when he came back last night!"
Jia's mother was a little nervous. She grew up in the founding prince's house and had been married into the Jia family for almost a year. In such a long time, she had seen too many things.
Being dismissed from office means that you have lost the emperor's trust, and as a minister, losing the emperor's trust is quite dangerous.
But Sister Feng could only smile bitterly and said: "Not only the old lady, he didn't tell anyone. If it hadn't been for what happened just now, even I wouldn't know about it."
Jia Mu frowned and suddenly sighed.
She is not yet confused and already has some guesses.
"Then did he say what the emperor planned to do with him?"
"No, he just said that the emperor dismissed him from his official position and asked him to stay at home and observe his filial piety to his father. He didn't say anything else."
While Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were both deep in thought, Sister Feng suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, he also said that he would invite the old lady, the second wife and the aunt to have a drink with you at noon. In my opinion, he
Since he still has time to treat everyone to a drink, I think the emperor will not do anything to him. Maybe he really just gives him a holiday and lets him fulfill his filial piety at home?"
This is actually the reason why Sister Feng is not too worried.
She had just seen with her own eyes how comfortable and contented Jia Lian was in the mansion over there. Combined with the hints Jia Lian had given her, she did not believe that Jia Lian would be defeated.
Seeing that Sister Feng was not worried, Jia Mu and even the sisters who had gathered around her felt a lot more relieved.
Also, the person next to me is not in a hurry, so why are they anxious? Could it be that they know more than Sister Feng?
So Jia Mu thought for a while and said to Aunt and Sister Xue: "In that case, my aunt will go to have a drink with us in a while. This is also a rare thing since his father died."
Jia's mother was a little tired and didn't want to move. But when she thought of Jia Lian's identity, she felt that she had to go today.
She wants everyone to know that even if Jia Lian is the emperor's grandson, he is still a member of the Jia family, and they are still as close to each other as one family. This can greatly reduce gossip.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue naturally had no objections to this. They sat for a while in Jia Mu's room, and then together with Jia Mu, led a large group of people to Jia Lian's courtyard.
…
Jia Lian actually didn't have much wine in Tianxiang Tower.
Even the wine that the You sisters fed into his mouth was mostly forced back by him and given to the two sisters, which is why they got drunk so fast.
After Sister Feng left, Jia Lian did not live happily in Tianxiang Tower for long, so he took Gu Qingyi through Huifang Garden and took a detour from Grand View Garden to go home.
Just when he was approaching the gate of the garden, he happened to meet Daiyu and Zicuckoo, the master and servant, and Jia Lian immediately ran after them.
Daiyu also saw Jia Lian. She originally wanted to run, but with her thin arms and legs, how could she outrun Jia Lian? She was caught up within a few steps.
"Sister Lin, why are you running?"
"You take care of me. My legs are long and I can run away if I want."
Jia Lian stopped in front of Daiyu, looked at Daiyu who had her head turned away and did not dare to look at him, and said with a bad smile: "Oh, really? I'm afraid that even if you have long legs, you will never be able to escape from my grasp in this life.
Already."
Daiyu was immediately angry, glared at Jia Lian, and raised her foot to stomp Jia Lian. Seeing that Jia Lian had no intention of stamping, she finally just stepped on it symbolically, and passed Jia Lian to hurry on.
Her little hand was suddenly held by Jia Lian, and Daiyu dared not remain silent now.
"What are you doing? How do you behave in such a manner in public?"
"Oh, so it doesn't matter if you flirt with each other in private?"
"Bah, you're a disciple~"
Daiyu couldn't shake her hands away, so she slowly lowered her head. Thinking of what happened last night, she felt hot all over.
Behind the two of them, Zijuan and Gu Qingyi's master and servant looked at each other in confusion.
Especially for Gu Qingyi, this was the first time she saw Jia Lian coaxing a little girl. She was very envious and at the same time she also understood the status of the girl in front of her who could fall down at the slightest breeze in Jia Lian's mind.
In this way, Jia Lian coaxed and teased Daiyu while leading a few people back home.
When they came to the flower hall, the eyes of everyone inside and outside the flower hall naturally fell on Jia Lian's hand holding Daiyu's hand for the first time.
Some people were surprised, some secretly envied, and some snickered.
Naturally, I was surprised that the two of them were so generous, and I was secretly envious of Daiyu.
As for those who snickered, most of them were sisters who were older than Daiyu.
There is no way, Jia Lian is seven feet long, and although he is not burly, he is also strong and tall.
As for Daiyu, who is less than five feet tall, she is still thin and thin.
Therefore, the look of the big hands holding the little hands does not look like a couple of gods at all, but rather like a father holding his daughter.
Daiyu didn't expect there to be so many people, even Jia Mu arrived.
In panic, he quickly shook off Jia Lian's hand and walked to Jia's mother. He lowered his head and was embarrassed to look at people.
The elders such as Jia Mu and Aunt Xue were laughing. Jia Mu even grabbed Daiyu's hand and patted it, then smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I feel relieved to see that you two brothers and sisters have such a good relationship.
Already."
Mother Jia's words made Daiyu even more embarrassed. She bowed and sat down next to Tanchun.
But Jia Mu said, "You don't have to sit here. You can go over and sit at the same table with your sister Feng, and sit next to her."
Daiyu suddenly felt at a loss.
There are three tables in this hall, one table is for Jia Mu, Aunt Xue and her sisters, and the other table is for Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and other gentlemen.
As for the last table where Sister Feng was sitting, only Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan were sitting there. Sister Feng stood next to her because she got up to greet Jia Lian when he entered the hall.
Obviously, the last table was occupied by the wives of the Jia family.
This arrangement of Jia's mother obviously eliminated her from the ranks of sisters and entered the ranks of Jia's daughter-in-law.
Sister Feng saw Daiyu's embarrassment, stepped forward directly, helped her back with a smile, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the old lady doesn't love you anymore, I love you. Don't covet their table, here we are.
You are the youngest in our place, so my wife and I will keep a close eye on you first when it comes to keeping any delicious food.
It’s not like here, this one is also the old lady’s treasure, that one is also the old lady’s sweetheart, she can’t even take care of it!”
Sister Feng's words not only made the whole room burst into laughter, but also perfectly solved Daiyu's embarrassment. Daiyu was very grateful and followed Sister Feng to the last table.
