When there is no great merit and the man in the family has not made any big contributions, it is against the rules to be granted the title of concubine in one letter. Now he has also added the title of virtuous man. It is not so much a title as a concubine.
Like a "posthumous title".
With such an obvious hint, everyone in the Jia family didn't know how to reflect on it, but they were still showing off and celebrating. It was like the words "I don't know whether to live or die" were engraved on their foreheads.
Although Daiyu doesn't like the Jia family very much now, they are her relatives after all. When her guess becomes true, it is still difficult for her to accept it.
Just like we know that we are going to die, but when things don't come to us, we don't actually feel much, and when things do come, it's hard to accept them. We always feel uncomfortable in our hearts.
Her eyes were red and she asked with some confusion: "But... why?"
Jiusi did not tell her the answer directly, but pointed to the Jia family servants outside who were crazy with joy: "There are many reasons. As for the reason, I won't tell you. You have to discover it yourself.
Okay, once you understand it, you will know why.
In fact, when you see their reaction, you should be able to guess something. If you hear such a ban, who would have such a reaction if you know it well."
Daiyu looked at the servants who were more showy than usual and suddenly became speechless.
Yes, it’s such an obvious hint. If others don’t understand it, doesn’t grandma also understand it?
Maybe it's not that they don't understand, it's just that the wealth and power they want in their hearts is greater than that weak guess.
Even the lowest servants would be so happy when they heard the news, let alone the rest of the Jia family and Jia's masters, who might have to make more publicity in the future.
In the past, the Jia family was extravagant enough, but after today, I'm afraid they will be even more unscrupulous!
Although she knew it was impossible, she still couldn't help but ask: "Sister, is there really nothing we can do?"
Jiusi nodded first, and then shook his head: "The decree has been issued, and the fate of the Jia family has been decided. Unless the Jia family can find a man who can turn the tide, everything will be in vain.
A family that has no use value and only creates trouble and makes trouble. If you were in charge, would you stay?"
After Daiyu heard this, she went through the men of the Jia family in her mind, but she couldn't find anyone who could turn the tide. They were all just people who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. Even the most capable uncle in the past was just a drunkard.
Just people who are empty-handed.
But the more she understood, the more uncomfortable she felt. She responded dully: "Sister, I understand." Then she got up and went back to her room.
Seeing her like this, Jiusi didn't say much. After instructing a few maids to pay more attention to her, she went about her own business.
Since Yuanchun has been granted the title of concubine, the construction of the Grand View Garden will naturally begin, and she will now be busy making money.
The fact is just as they guessed. From the second day after the news of Yuanchun's concubine came out, the Jia family began to hold banquets. In the past, the Jia family held banquets and drinks from time to time, but now there is no such thing.
No worries, there will be feasts every day.
First, Prince Teng was promoted, and then Yuanchun was granted the title of concubine. The status of the two aunts and nephews, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, in the Jia family was now given to everyone. Even Jia Mu's words began to become less favorable.
Made it.
The change in status also caused everyone to murmur after the joy. The beginning of dissatisfaction is the breeding of conflicts.
Although Jia's mother didn't like the arrogance of the two, she was concerned about Wang Ziteng's power and Yuan Chun's reputation. Even if she was dissatisfied, she just asked them to set more rules, instead of scolding them as before, which was shameless.<
/p>
Li Wan had a lot of complaints in her heart, but she was a widowed person with only one son by her side. Even if she was unhappy, she didn't dare to say anything openly, and she only dared to complain a few words in private.
It's okay to welcome the spring and appreciate the spring. Although the life is normal, there is not much change. At most, some unpleasant words are said.
Only Tanchun, a concubine, became increasingly miserable under Mrs. Wang. In the past, she was just scolded and ridiculed, but now she was punished at every turn, so she suffered a lot.
Although Jia Zheng knew about this and listened to Aunt Zhao's cry, he was concerned about Wang Ziteng's power and did not pay much attention to her. He just said a few words about Mrs. Wang in displeasure.
The most dissatisfied were Jia She and Mrs. Xing. Wang Xifeng's previous confession made them think that she had changed. As a result, not long after the matter was resolved, she began to ignore them again.
Mrs. Xing is a step-mother-in-law, and Guan Xifeng is a little unsure. Her dissatisfaction only lasts for a moment, and she doesn't care after that. Anyway, she has gotten used to it after so many years.
But Jia She's dissatisfaction is really irreversible.
He was dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng, not only because she failed to do what he said and let go of her housekeeping power to have children in peace, but also because of her disrespect and manipulation of Jia Lian after Wang Ziteng was promoted.
Even if Jia Lian was useless in the past, he still valued Jia Lian because he was his only son. Not to mention that after that incident, Jia Lian had changed a lot, so he valued him even more.
This attention naturally meant that he cared about the issue of his heirs. Wang Xifeng was a domineering person. He was not willing to give birth to children at home honestly, and he did not allow Jia Lian to take concubines. Ping'er had been with Jia Lian for so long, and he still didn't have a serious name.
This shows how intolerant Wang Xifeng is.
In the past, he thought that the relationship between the two was good and he wanted to have a grandson to hug him as soon as possible, so he didn't pay much attention to the affairs in their room. Now that Wang Xifeng is really making trouble, he doesn't want to worry about that anymore.
So, when Wang Xifeng was busy hosting a banquet again to entertain the so-called guests, he directly ordered someone to go outside and bring back a concubine for Jia Lian, and sent it to Jia Lian's room.
When Wang Xifeng learned about this and rushed back, the two of them had already cooked the rice and regretted it.
Wang Xifeng is not a good person. How could he be so angry? He immediately wanted to have the concubine caught and beaten to death.
"Come here, drag that bitch off the couch and beat him to death. No one can do it now. Grandma, I have to make sure you have a long memory."
It's a pity that those women were stopped by people sent by Jia She before they could enter.
That grandma is also a powerful person. She blocked Wang Xifeng and was speechless when she opened her mouth: "I advise the second mistress not to make things too ugly, otherwise it will be you who will be embarrassed.
Xia is a daughter of a good family. The master always brings people in to Mr. Lian according to the rules. Even the government has registered her. If you dare to touch her, it is not just a matter of disobeying the master's wishes.<
/p>
Second Grandma, I think you are also a smart person. You should know what to do and what not to do. Don’t forget what kind of person you were as soon as your tail is swept clean. I can keep you safe and sound.
I will correct you at any time.
Of course, you can also send a message to Mr. Wang, but I advise you not to do that. No matter how high-ranking Mr. Wang is, he can't control the family affairs of Rongguo Mansion."
