But it was said that Jia's mother was furious when she received Jia She's letter, and called Jia Huan over. She was reading at midnight, but Jia Huan was not in the house at this moment, and went to accompany Lin Hai to relieve his boredom. When he came out after coaxing the old man, there was an honor.
The boy from the government has been waiting at the door of Lin's mansion for a long time.
The boy came up and said: "Third Master, Miss Yuanyang said that the old lady received the letter from the eldest master from the south, and she was so angry that she smashed the tea cup and called the eldest master a bastard, saying, 'Why did he send Yuan Yatou
Xuren'."
Jia Huan then knew that Jia She had arranged a marriage for Yuan Chun, and Jia's mother was probably dissatisfied. He only thought it was someone chosen from the south, but he didn't expect Gong Kun to marry him, so he returned home covered.
As soon as they entered Jia Mu's yard, a little girl came up and whispered back: "The old lady was so angry that she didn't even eat lunch."
Jia Huan sighed helplessly and muttered in a low voice: "I'm so fed up!"
Then he went inside and saw Jia Mu. She didn't allow him to open his mouth and pointed to a letter on the desk and said, "Look! It's written by your good uncle!"
Jia Huan picked it up and unfolded it, and couldn't help laughing "haha" twice.
When Jia Mu saw it, she scolded: "Are you so happy? Your sister may have asked him to use it to please someone, but you still laugh!"
In fact, many people in the Rongguo Mansion knew Gong Kun, but they all regarded him as a minister from outside. They didn't pay much attention to him, and no one told Jia's mother. Jia Huan said: "This gentleman is really talented, and he looks like a gentleman."
They have a good temperament, and their family status is not low, so they will not wrong my eldest sister."
Jia Mu said angrily: "No matter what he is, he is not worthy of your sister! Your sister is a blessed one!"
Jia Huan blinked: "It's just that my sister is in her twenties and has been the concubine of the late Prince Nan'an for a few years. Does our ancestors think she can marry into a good family?"
Mother Jia shouted in a low voice: "Cong'er clearly told me that she can have great fortunes! Aren't you on good terms with him? Don't you know?"
Jia Huan said: "Old ancestor! With my eldest sister's age and past, isn't it considered a blessing to be able to marry Mr. Gong? I have never thought of having a grandson."
Jia Mu was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to give him a slap in the ear. Jia Huan raised his arm and grabbed her wrist: "According to your wishes, who should my eldest sister marry? Prince? She is older than Prince Lu.
At several years old, King Lu is already the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor."
Jia Mu didn't care about slapping her wrists and asked anxiously: "Where is the wise king?"
Jia Huan said inexplicably: "The wise king has an eldest wife and a small wife in the same courtyard, and has four or five children. The eldest sister has long said that she would not take anyone as a concubine. If she was thinking about some noble prince, why did she come out of Nan'an Palace back then."
Jia Mu opened her mouth, but she couldn't say what she thought the wise king would divorce his wife. Then she saw the strange look on Jia Huan's face, and she suddenly became confused.
Seeing that Jia Huan let go of her hand and didn't know how to take it back, he put her arm back in front of the case and said: "My ancestors are sensible people. With all the things that my eldest sister is going through now, really, can she have a clean, reliable and promising future?"
It is already very good for someone to marry her. My grandson never dreamed that he would marry Mr. Gong. There is no one he can marry."
Jia Mu was sitting motionless like a clay sculpture.
Jia Huan felt strange and really didn't know where her idea came from. After sitting with her for another half day, she asked: "Old ancestor, who brought the eldest sister and the wise king together? Could it be that someone was gossiping for you?
What?"
Jia Mu still didn't move.
Jia Huan had no choice but to wait for a while and ordered Yuanyang Hubo to come forward to serve him. He then withdrew to find Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng's two fresh aunts were waiting for him to write poems. They were red and their sleeves were fragrant. Jia Huan stepped forward to salute and praised Jia Zheng's poems with his eyes closed.
I received a letter from the eldest gentleman in the south, saying that he had arranged a marriage for my eldest sister, and that the man was from Lingnan..."
Before he finished speaking, Jia Zheng slammed the brush in his hand: "What did you say?! He proposed marriage to the eldest girl? She is from Lingnan?"
Jia Huan nodded, thinking that it was a coincidence that Mr. Gong was from Lingnan, so he said: "I am a few years older than my eldest sister, and my appearance is also upright..."
Jia Zheng shouted: "No!"
When Jia Huan saw that his posture was exactly the same as Jia's mother, he asked, "In that case, does the master have a very good candidate in mind?"
Jia Zhengdao: "Your eldest sister has great fortune, how can she be given to mediocrity?"
Jia Huan said: "Who do you think the eldest sister should marry?"
Jia Zhengdao: "Cong'er had vaguely hinted earlier..." He suddenly stopped, coughed, and ordered the two aunts to go down. The Baijin Chuan was a smart man. He closed the door when he went out and was still guarding outside.
Jia Zhengfang continued, "In the early years, Cong'er had vaguely hinted that your eldest sister could get a noble son-in-law."
Jia Huan knew there was a misunderstanding as soon as he heard this. Jia Cong was naturally rebellious, and "noble" was nothing in his eyes, so he asked, "Did he really say the word 'noble son-in-law'?"
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said: "Although it is not these two words, it means this. He said, our family has to slowly choose the one with the surname Huang."
Jia Huan rolled his eyes: "Master, when did he say this? Was he joking?"
Jia Zhengdao: "That's what he said when the old lady of Nan'an came to our house."
Jia Huan let out a breath: "Those words are obviously nonsense to suppress the old lady Nan'an's momentum. Don't you just believe it?"
Jia Zhengdao: "Based on the reputations of your brothers now, your sister can really be picky if she wants to enter the prince's palace."
Jia Huan said: "Master, my sister doesn't want to be a child for others."
Jia Zhengdao: "It is not unusual to change queens throughout the ages."
Jia Huan grinned and wanted to smile but couldn't. He said with an embarrassed face: "Now let's not say which prince can really win the world; even if he can, the wives of other families are not fuel-efficient lamps, why should they change? Of course, if you want to change, you will choose someone.
The exchange of military power. Our family can only provide a few counselors to others, how can we replace our people?"
Jia Zheng was stunned.
Jia Huan continued: "Besides, from King Xian to King Wu and King Shu, no one can see that anything will happen. What if you lose if you place a bet casually? That will be the whole family."
Jia Zheng said hurriedly: "It's better to wait a few years and see."
Jia Huan said: "You can't tell how many years there are, at least it will be more than ten years. The eldest sister is over 20 years old, and she will be 30 or 40 years old in another ten years. Even if our family is really lucky and helps the real dragon
After ascending the throne, the Tian family will give our family a queen, who probably won’t be a eldest sister, but a Fu’er.”
Jia Zheng was speechless and said "this, this, this" several times, and suddenly his face turned pale: "So, Yuan'er can't be the queen?"
Jia Huan said: "Why would you want to kill the Queen? It is obvious that all the princes have wives, the younger one is younger than her."
Jia Zheng was stunned for another moment, then suddenly slumped down on the chair, his face turned earth-colored, as if he had been cramped.
Jia Huan continued: "Little Mr. Gong is really a person. I really don't know what tricks the master used and what benefits he promised to force him to agree. If this relationship can be achieved, it will really be our family's advantage."
Jia Zheng did not move.
Jia Huan had no choice but to say "Little Mr. Gong's talent is amazing" to comfort him, not wanting to be useless. Jia Zheng still seemed to have lost his soul.
That night, Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang were all ill, especially Jia Zheng. While Jia Huan ordered people to go to the imperial doctor, he turned around under the light and couldn't understand. He didn't know that although Jia Zheng had some
Indulging in wine and sex, I finally hope that one day I can regain the power. Now it is obvious that Baoyu will not become a great person, and Jia Huan does not listen to him, so he can only hope that Yuanchun's mother will honor the world and become the head of the country. Today's dream
Broken, I have no hope at all.
Three important masters in the Rongguo Mansion fell ill at once, and everyone was busy asking for medical advice. However, Xue Pan returned to Beijing at this moment, and sent a respectable servant to see Jia Huan, saying that he must go to have a drink.
.
Jia Huan had no choice but to ask his servants to take good care of Jia's mother Jia Zheng. He changed his clothes and went to Xue's house. He saw Xue Pan and Liu Aiyun coming out happily.
When Jia Huan sat down and opened the table, he heard that Xue Baochai was getting married. When Jia Huan asked, Baochai's son-in-law was called Jiang Zirong, and he felt that the name was familiar. Xue Pan said happily: "Let's talk about it.
However, Prince Nan'an's success as the middle man also owes a share of your family's contribution. The fortune path originally came from Hedong in the 30th year and Hexi in the 30th year. My brother-in-law is the direct grandson of Pingyuan Hou Mansion. He separated the family and established himself in Beijing.
A well-known dandy suddenly changes his mind one day and from then on concentrates on the right path, just like me!"
Jia Huan suddenly recalled the past and smiled. Isn't this Jiang Zirong the one who hired their "Avengers" to avenge his younger brother? After hearing that his enemy died, he stopped hanging around the Hualou Casino and focused on taking care of his family's property. He didn't want to
After a detour, he actually connected with Xue Baochai. On that day, Jia Cong and the others were afraid that his whereabouts would be traced by the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, so they bothered Huo Sheng to get acquainted with him, and pretended to be close friends when they met. They hurriedly congratulated him.
Xue Pan asked again: "How come Huo Sheng is the middle man in our family?"
Xue Pan nodded and said, "Don't interrupt. Zirong has turned around since he was a prodigal, and his fortune has also improved. One time, he met the prince of Nan'an on the street. They hit it off and became friends. Later, the prince went south to fight, and his family
Since we don’t have a man, we have entrusted Zirong to take care of us. Their family’s property is nothing more than repaying it on the surface. It has long been emptied out and left some empty shells to fool the emperor. What matters is those who have contact with us in private. Because it depends on Zirong.
He is a good and righteous man who entrusted me to him. Therefore, Zirong often came out to interact with our family on Huo Sheng's behalf. During the chaos in Beijing, Ai Yun and my mother and sister lived in your escort agency. Once again, Zirong came to look for Ai Yun to do business.
, bumped into my sister."
Jia Huan was overjoyed! She clapped her hands and said, "What a good fate!" Thinking about Xue Baochai's appearance, her magnanimity in taking charge of the Xue family's property, and her talents, any man who met her would probably be shocked.
Xue Pan said happily: "Isn't that true? Later, he often found excuses to interact with our family. Aiyun had already noticed it, and when he tested him, he just kept silent. Aiyun also said, let's see how long he can hold it in.
.On that day, Fang Xiong seized the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and exiled Jiang Zining to the northwest. Now that the rebellion has been repressed, Jiang Zining has returned to Beijing, but their family's wealth has been moved to Jiannan by Fang Xiong. Naturally, they cannot get it back.
Although some property was returned later, it was no longer what it was back then. Zirong's own business was getting more and more prosperous. During the chaos in Beijing, my sister gave me some advice, and I safely received a lot of good things. The prices at that time were extremely high.
Low, now that the world is getting flat, if you turn around and sell it, you can get at least five times the profit. Even if you lose money, Jiang Zining can do it. Hearing that his family business has grown, he actually came to him to support the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. "
Jia Huan happened to be drinking. When he heard the words, he spat it out with a "poof" sound. He coughed for a long time and then said: "How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"
Xue Pan slapped the case and said: "No! Now that the family is separated, he never helped Zirong before, nor did he persuade Zirong when he was unhappy. Now he has the nerve to seek his money! Besides, their family is not like that.
If you don’t have rice to cook with, you will only be less luxurious than before.”
Jia Huan shook his head and said: "It's not because of that..." Back then, Jiang Zirong's younger brother was killed by Niu Jiyao of the Zhenguo Mansion. It was this Jiang Zining who didn't care about his cousin's unjust death and helped the Zhenguo Mansion to suppress Jiang Zirong and not allow him to file a lawsuit.
Jiang Zirong's mother and son refused, and he even said "expelled from the clan". The friendship between the two cousins had long been completely forgotten, and they even had a grudge. Later, Jiang Zirong paid for the two hundred thousand taels himself.
Bai Yin hired the "Avengers" to avenge him. He sighed, "I've heard about the Jiang brothers. Although the imperial court redressed their rebellion, I'm afraid it won't spend money from the treasury to support them anymore."
, that title is just an empty promise, and you will never receive any more silver rice. Mr. Jiang doesn’t even have the backbone to do such an idea, and he doesn’t even want to have such an idea, and he doesn’t even want to have such an idea, he doesn’t even..." He suddenly shook his head and smiled, "I don’t even know what to say.
Okay. This person can just pretend that he doesn’t exist, and the Pingyuan Mansion can just pretend that they are an ordinary run-down household."
Although Xue Pan was a popular figure in his early years, he had never heard of this incident and asked hurriedly: "What happened to their brothers?"
Jia Huan then told the old story of the Jiang family, and an angry Xue Pan shouted: "That's unreasonable!" Hearing a "boom" sound, he kicked away the first embroidered block under the table. Liu Aiyun stared.
She glanced at him, making him shrink back in fright, with a smile on his face.
Jia Huan said: "You are a man of fortune, but I see it is the work of manpower. If Jiang Zirong could not take care of the family business with peace of mind, how could he be as wealthy as he is today? If Jiang Zining was capable and confident, why would he help outsiders to suffer grievances?
My brother."
Xue Pan nodded repeatedly: "Brother Huan is saying that after all, it's because he doesn't have the ability and Zirong has the ability."
Jia Huan said with a smile: "I guess he had a bad encounter with Jiang Zirong."
Xue Pan also smiled and said: "Of course! Zirong is too lazy to pay attention to him! He doesn't give up and just uses the pretense of the patriarch to ask Zirong to marry his sister-in-law!"
Jia Huan laughed when he heard this: "This man is not only incompetent, but also a fool!"
Xue Pan also laughed for a while, and then said: "He was anxious, so he just spread the word to himself. Half of the female relatives in the capital knew about it, and he wanted to coerce Zirong. Zirong just turned a deaf ear. So what happened
The old lady in Nan'an has something in her ears." He winked and said, "Doesn't Huo Sheng still have an aunt who hasn't married yet?"
Jia Huan was startled: "Huh? No way! That old woman actually had such an idea?" This Jiang Zirong became a piece of cake.
Xue Pan hummed: "With his appearance, family background, and good temperament, his family is rich, and he has helped his family all these years, the old woman has already made up his mind. She thought that just one word would suffice.
But Zirong refused." He said proudly, "I heard that the princess is arrogant and unruly, so how could Zirong like her!"
Jia Huan couldn't help but laugh. Looking at this, Jiang Zirong had already secured his brother-in-law. "I think he proposed to Sister Xue because he didn't want to cause any more messy romantic luck?"
Xue Pan gave a high-five, shook his head and said, "He came to propose marriage because these people aroused his interest in getting married."
Jia Huan nodded and came down from the table to take Xue Pan's place in person. Liu Aiyun filled up the wine herself, raised her glass and said sincerely: "Brother Xue! I congratulate Sister Xue on this one. Just drink it for her."
Xue Pan and Liu Aiyun both raised their lamps: "Thank you so much, brother Huan!"
The three of them drank it all in one go.
Xue Pan thought of Baochai's early years and said with emotion: "It's not easy for my sister." Naiye came down from the table and filled three glasses of wine himself, and said to Jia Huan, "For this one, we both thank Cong'er for bringing some gems back then."
