Chapter 856 Talking about the royal family on the way back
Yuan Chun thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "Ancestor, you are still thoughtful." He then said: "Ancestor, you didn't mention the Lin family just now. But there is still something wrong with Uncle Lin? Ancestor, Uncle Lin is a member of the imperial court.
Important ministers, those who will join the cabinet in the next few years are important ministers of the imperial court, and cousin Lin is also famous. Cousin Lin is married to Prince Heng. They are two uncles and the princess of the family. They are also very prominent even in the capital.
His family is also a relative of ours, so you must take good care of him and not let him favor outsiders. Ancestors, our family and the Lin family are cousins. They should be closer than ordinary people, but we must not let them get into trouble.
It’s divided. Oh, and the fourth sister’s husband’s family, the Feng family, is a family that requires easy friendship. Grandpa, you’ve eaten more salt than I’ve eaten rice, so you have to be aware of it.”
Mother Jia sighed and said, "I'd like to, but what should I do? Although your Aunt Min is my biological daughter, after all, if you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog, and your Uncle Lin has always been upright and upright. Although it seems
In my face, they have not alienated our family, but they have always been indifferent to our family these years. Your cousin Lin is a high-ranking official, and even his cousin from the Xue family married him, but he is still indifferent, and now
I just ask that our family doesn’t offend him. I can’t ask or say more about other things, so as not to make the relationship between our two families even weaker.
As for your fourth sister's family, it is certainly a good thing. But now in our house, we are fighting fiercely, and it is difficult to be of the same mind. She and Feng Yatou are good, even if they are visiting relatives, they are with the eldest family, not with our house.
So now I have to suppress your eldest uncle and aunt. After all, I can't write two characters in one stroke. Even if it's a superficial matter, I still have to do it. And these are family matters, and it will cause trouble in my own family. If you do it
If outsiders know about it, what should we do? It’s a joke if it’s made public, but it’s a big trouble if it’s given an excuse to someone with serious intentions.”
When Yuan Chun heard about it, he frowned and thought for a while, then said to Mrs. Wang: "Mother, please listen to my advice. Our ancestors have experienced the world and always see things in the longer term than us. Many things need to be discussed with our ancestors.
, as the saying goes, one person thinks about shortcomings, and three people think about strengths. After all, we are all a family, and they are all for the good of our family, so there must be no discussion and consideration. "
Mrs. Wang responded in a low voice.
Yuanchun also knew that his mother was not feeling well, and he was even more aware of her concerns. But now was the time when all the families needed to work together to plan for big things. If her mother continued to act like this and dwell on some small favors and grudges in the past,
If you don't want to surrender and lower your status, then every family will be separated from their own family, but what will happen? You must know that Baoyu only married an imperial businessman, what can he accomplish? He has neither military power nor real power in the government.
, the only thing that is useful is some money, but compared with the Lin family, it is worlds apart.
Just thinking about this, Yuanchun felt filled with regret: If Daiyu hadn't gotten suspicious last time because of the huge dowry, and paid a lot of money to bribe the eunuchs around the Supreme Emperor to inquire about it, how could he have imagined that Lin Zhao's money-grabbing methods were like this?
Strong. If you don't agree with your mother, you should discuss it with your ancestors. Those things should be your own, and if you don't keep them all, they are yours. I regret that I and my mother were short-sighted and missed Baoyu's future.
As for the internal fighting between the two houses in the mansion, Yuan Chun was even more dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's management methods: Why is my mother's vision so narrow? Is a small third or fourth grade title worthy of such importance? If big things can be achieved in the future, Baoyu
Even if he is a serious uncle of the country, he has a distinguished status, and he is not a problem even if he is a prince. At that time, what will happen to those people who have offended my mother? Isn’t it just her word? Why is my mother so stingy at this time?
?It’s best to take a long-term view of everything. So there are some things she has to say, even if her mother is unhappy:
"Mother, you always advise me to relax, and you should relax yourself too. I am your biological daughter after all. Can't you just be aggrieved for a while for me? Some things cannot always be looked at in the immediate future, but in the long term.
Things are not static. One thing, even if it is like this now, can it be changed in the future... Mother, if there really is such a future, is there anything that you can no longer make the decision? I will always rely on you."
Mother Jia frowned as she listened. What did Yuanchun mean by this? He didn't intend to burn bridges by crossing the river? This child, before the matter was done, wanted to help his mother settle the accounts afterwards? How can such a big-hearted person be successful?
What's the big deal? Jia Mu secretly frowned: That's all, the prince is still in her belly, and some things have to go her way. The future is unpredictable, so she can only take one step at a time.
The movements of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Chun in the palace cannot be hidden from others.
Even on the way back to Songjiang, Lin Zhao also received the news.
The conversation between the three people appeared in detail on the paper.
Before reading the content, Lin Zhao was already secretly shaking his head.
As the saying goes, if a minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if the ruler is not secretive, he will lose his country.
Jia Mu, Yuan Chun, and Mrs. Wang are also considered to be high-ranking figures in the national noble group, but they act so shamelessly. They are like a sieve around them. What they say is known by others in the blink of an eye.
No wonder his house collapsed!
After reading the content of the letter, Lin Zhao sneered at Yuanchun's idea: The child in her belly was not even born yet, so she started to think about all sorts of things, and she was thinking too far-sighted, right? What's more, her belly
, there is no life at all, how can she be so big and come up with so many miscellaneous things?
Lin Zhao smiled and told Baochai about this.
Although Baochai is smart, he only cares about the well-being of his mother and brother.
But she was very infatuated with Lin Zhao.
What's more, Lin Zhao only has his first wife in the house, and there are no other people in the house.
Naturally, she only thinks about her husband.
Of course, every time he goes to the cave, he loses his restraint and loses his usual dignity. He tries all kinds of shy and unbearable things one by one. Things that make Baochai drunk both physically and mentally also occupy a part of Baochai's mind.
Baochai became sad after hearing this: "What do you mean by the photographer, will the old lady come to win over our Lin family? After all, she is my mother-in-law's biological mother. If she comes, my mother-in-law can't turn her away, but if she invites her in
If you do, will it make people suspicious? After all, I am an important official of the imperial court."
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "The old lady is a shrewd person. Before Concubine Yuan's belly was born, she would not go to the residence of Master Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, for this matter."
Baochai's face couldn't help but change after hearing this.
Before Yuanchun was born, the Jia family would not disturb the Lin family.
But after Yuanchun was born, the Jia family would definitely disturb the Lin family.
But the husband still doesn't care, so the reason is most likely that Yuanchun can't give birth.
Thinking of this, Baochai's face turned pale.
Lin Zhao held Baochai's hand and sighed: "The imperial palace is the most ruthless and cruel place in the world. In the king's heart, no one or thing is more important than the throne. Concubine Yuan's belly is not only from the wrong origin, but also from the wrong place."
It was not the right time, and the emperor managed to calm down the court situation. Because of her belly, the harem was unstable, and the princes were unhappy. The forces behind the princes also started to think about it. The Jia family themselves also made frequent moves.
The situation in the court that was originally relatively stable was now turbulent. The emperor saw that the originally peaceful situation in the court was gone forever. Years of hard work might be in vain. Naturally, he felt unhappy: It's just a child.
If it’s gone, it’s gone. In the harem, are there no such things anymore? Is there anything worth making a fuss about?”
His tone was very calm, and he obviously understood this very clearly.
Baochai was almost cold all over.
Although she is one of the few smart people in the world and a rare beauty with both good looks and good looks, it is difficult to understand this due to her limited background and experience.
"No wonder my husband has never had any trouble with other women, nor has he found any girls to have sex with. I have hinted repeatedly that I can let Ying'er sleep with me, but my husband has refused. There is no room for negotiation. It turns out that
That’s the reason.”
Thinking of this, Baochai held Lin Zhao's hand with her backhand and snuggled into his arms, her eyes slightly moist and her heart warm.
After a while, Baochai suddenly shuddered, raised his head and said: "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Mr. Master, you have to be careful."
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I know." He looked at the white clouds outside the window and said, "Of course I know that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. But this can be considered a kind of experience."
Baochai didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did brother say?"
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Oh, what I mean is that in times of peace, there is only one emperor in the world. Whatever he likes to think and do, that is his own business. We, the subjects of the country, only need to carry out our duties within the scope of our duties.
Just take care of things within the palace. As long as the affairs of the palace don't involve our Lin family, why bother so much? We don't lack wealth! As for other things, we should think more about it. It is always better to be prepared for a rainy day than to be passive.
Well done."
Baochai was thoughtful.
…
Jia Mansion.
Due to Concubine Yuan's instructions, Jia Mu finally summoned Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others. Before Jia She and Jia Lian went, they first called Sister Feng over for questioning. Sister Feng did not hide them either.
He said directly: "I have already talked round and round with Cousin Lin and Sister Lin. According to what they said, I am afraid that the Queen's stomach is very unscrupulous. Cousin Lin said that it is time to make preparations. According to the wife's wishes
Boss, if things have come to this point, isn't it a big disaster? Master, Second Master, our family should just avoid this matter. If we really can't afford to offend, we can just give up some money and buy our big house for some peace and quiet.
"
Jia She paced back and forth in the room and said, "It's time to make preparations. What should we do to make preparations? If the empress gives birth to a prince, wouldn't it be a good thing for our Jia family to move up a level? What's so scary about you?"
Have you found out more about it?"
Sister Feng said: "I invited my mother, sent a letter to my father, touched upon family relations, and found out something. Master, the rules in the palace require the emperor's consent for concubines to have heirs. We, the royal family,
I found out that neither the Emperor nor the Queen had visited the Queen since she was pregnant. Even the reward was only half a cent thicker than before. Such indifferent treatment, my father said, was just for fear of the child in the Queen’s belly.
It is privately owned and not approved by the emperor."
When Jia She heard about it, he was shocked: "If this is really the case, isn't your empress too bold? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Sister Feng said: "The empress is probably thinking of flesh and blood. After all, she has a child. No matter what happens, the emperor will not want to abandon his own child, right?"
Jia She and Jia Lian shook their heads. Jia She said: "That's what you women want. If we men think according to our minds, no man will tolerate this kind of calculation. This kind of thing is a pimple.
It is branded in a man's heart. Unless there are other important things, he cannot get rid of it easily. Especially because he is the emperor, the most noble person in the world. It would be extremely embarrassing for others to know that he has been plotted. Looking at it this way, the Lin family's saying that it may not be a blessing is indeed reasonable.
.Even if this child is born, it will be difficult in the future. He will not be able to obtain the Sacred Heart for a very long time."
Jia Lian had long been angry with Sister Feng, and usually tried to persuade Jia She. At this time, he took the opportunity to say: "If the empress really has such a plan, it is simply stupid. If such a thing happens, let alone the emperor, he will feel uncomfortable, and it will be the other empresses in the harem."
, can you feel comfortable in your heart? According to the behavior of the emperor and the empress, it can be seen that everyone is aware of this matter. At this time, there is no movement in the palace, and it is really peaceful and scary. "
Jia She snorted coldly: "Of course it's scary. Girl Yuan is now a month old. If anything happens at this time, not only the child will not be safe, but the adults will not be safe either."
Mrs.
Jia She stopped Jia Lian and said, "Stupid! You have to remember that the empress in the palace is not the empress of our Jia family, but the empress of the second wife of the Jia family!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian and Sister Feng were all stunned.
Jia She just asked Sister Feng: "After getting the news, what does your father mean?"
Sister Feng said: "When my father got the news, he sent a letter saying that he would not be back for the Chinese New Year this year, and that he would not come back until Luan'er got married next year. When I asked for a specific idea, my father said that he had not been born, his name had not been corrected, and his family had not been registered.
, Before you grow up, build a palace, or become a king, you can only be a pure minister. Otherwise, if you are not careful, your whole family will be destroyed."
Jia She was shocked.
Sister Feng was also full of fear. Because of her relationship with the Lin family, her father had restrained himself a lot now. Things in the past were slowly coming to an end, and he supported the emperor's wishes very much. Therefore, even though he was promoted to the ninth provincial inspection that year, because of his
After trying hard to make up for it, the emperor gave him the position of Jinling Army General. Although he was only a third-grade official, which was much lower than the first-grade official position, their whole family breathed a sigh of relief. At least the emperor was still willing to use him, even though his position was low.
It doesn't matter at all, as long as he works hard, he can still get promoted.
Especially after the Ping'an Prefecture rebellion, Wang Ziteng was frightened day and night when he read the newspaper issued by the imperial court every day. He went about his errands tremblingly, not daring to make the slightest mistake, for fear that someone who was not paying attention would be found in the newspaper.
The family has their own name in the house. So now the Wang family is very disgusted with messy things. Mrs. Wang Ziteng is even more disgusted with Mrs. Wang who has come to see her every day since she was pregnant in Yuanchun: Don't talk about whether your daughter's belly is pregnant or not.
Even if it's really born, it's still nothing. Who can show it to you with such arrogance? You still want our family to help you. Damn it, it's too late for our family to hide from you.
Jia She walked in the house for a long time, thinking about it for a long time, and then he said seriously to Jia Lian and Sister Feng: "The second girl's husband, Sun Shaozong, is now a senior official in Dali Temple, and there is a relationship between Brother Feng and the Lin family. Well, the fourth girl is also
It's good for our family. Even Qin Yatou and Zhu'er only recognize our family. Therefore, even if there is no so-called empress, our family cannot be underestimated in this capital. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with us.
The first room has nothing to do with it, it’s the second room’s private matter.”
Ever since Jia Lian got rid of the shadow of his second wife running errands and experienced Mrs. Wang's murder of Sister Feng, he had already had a prejudice against his second wife.
Although he couldn't see a solution to the problem in front of him, he only wanted to be a filial son and see if he could have a chance of survival.
So at this moment, I naturally don't want to get too close to my second wife.
Then he nodded and said: "Son, obey the master's instructions."
Jia She snorted coldly: "For the sake of the old lady, this family has always been divided. I endured the humiliation and humiliation and let the second dove occupy the magpie's nest for so many years. Now in this situation, for our family's survival, this family should be divided."
Jia Lian said: "Master, I'm afraid this won't be easy, and my ancestors won't agree."
Jia She said: "It's not easy, but it's worth it. The old lady called us over this time, she must have asked everyone to pay for the sacrifice of Yuan Yatou's belly. But since we all know that Yuan Yatou's belly is wrong, why bother us?
The whole family joins in? It’s money, and that’s what our eldest family should inherit. The old lady wants to take advantage of the sanctimonious prudery of the second son’s family! Bah, don’t even think about it!”
Sister Feng stood aside, listening to Jia She's talk, talking about how to divide the family, how to ask for more things, how to get the property, how to drive away the second house and the whole family, her heart was cold, and she despised this master to the extreme: This is
A family of flesh and blood, at the critical juncture, they abandoned each other and plotted against each other, not even a trace of affection was spared.
Although Jia Lian saw clearly and got Sister Feng and her two children out of the household registration early, he himself wanted to be a filial son and had a good heart, but he didn't take his wife and children seriously.
But then again, if the emperor really wants to deal with the Jia family, Jia Lian, the traitor to the throne, cannot escape.
And he didn't want to run.
This responsible look makes him worthy of Wang Xifeng’s man!
As expected of Jia Qiaoer and Jia’s father!
Of course, if she could humiliate her second wife once by dividing the family, she, Wang Xifeng, would be very happy.
…
Jia Muyuan, Rongqing Hall.
Jia Mu sat on the head, Jia She and Jia Lian sat on the left, Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng stood behind them; Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang sat on the right, and Baoyu and Xia Jingui stood behind them. When Jia Zhen walked in with Jia Rong, they
Seeing such a situation, Jia Zhen felt that something was wrong: Didn't the old lady say that she was discussing the affairs of the empress in the palace? Why did this scene look like a quarrel between the two houses of the Rongguo Mansion?
When Jia Zhen came in, Mother Jia pointed to the chair on the left and said, "Brother Zhen is here? Sit down here."
Jia Zhen and Jia Rong looked at each other and decided to act accordingly.
After Jia Zhen sat down, Jia Mu spoke: "Yesterday, the second wife and I went into the palace to see the empress. The empress has been diagnosed in her belly and she is a prince. Therefore, our family should start thinking about many things. Press
According to the instructions of the empress, now is the time for our family to work together. From the second family, Feng Yatou, you should also contact the Wang family as soon as possible and ask him what he wants? I will go there later.
Write a letter to the Shi family; Baoyu's daughter-in-law will also go back and talk to your family. Lian'er writes to the second and fourth girls, asking them to come and visit relatives and communicate with them. No matter what, the empress and the prince in her belly
, is the hope of our family. At this critical moment, let’s not bring up some old grudges anymore. Those who have money will contribute money and those who have the strength to contribute, no matter what, we must let the empress and the little prince stay safe in the palace."
When Mrs. Jia spoke, although Mrs. Wang didn't show it on her face, she felt proud in her heart: Even if I let you have some old grudges, you will still have to sacrifice your life for my daughter.
After Jia Mu finished speaking, there was silence in the hall. Jia Zheng was not easy to talk, Jia She didn't seem to speak. Jia Zhen saw that everyone was silent, so she refused to speak either.
Mother Jia frowned, paused her cane, and said, "What's the idea? You guys should speak up." Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Mother Jia called her by name: "Zhen'er, you are the leader of the clan, you speak first."
Jia Zhen hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "Old lady Mingjian, although I hold the position of patriarch, I am still a junior. Naturally, I still rely on everyone's wishes for some things."
Jia's mother then asked Jia Zheng, "Second brother, where are you?"
Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up, and Mrs. Wang immediately stood up too: "The old lady is doing it for my mother-in-law and for our family. Naturally, my son will obey the old lady's wishes in everything."
Mother Jia nodded with satisfaction, motioned for the second room and her family to sit down, and then asked Jia She angrily: "Boss, what about you? What do you mean?"
Jia She smiled mockingly and said after a long time: "Old lady, let's separate the families."
Suddenly, everyone was shocked except Dafang's family. After Jia Zhen was over her shock, she and Jia Rong sat to the edge: Sure enough, things are going to change today.
Mother Jia became angry after being shocked. She knocked the agarwood crutch in her hand on the ground several times and said majestically: "Boss, what do you mean? I'm not dead yet!"
Jia Zheng also said hurriedly: "Brother, what do you mean by dividing the family? My mother is still alive, so it is not appropriate to do this."
Mrs. Wang was even more anxious. If the family was separated, she would no longer have the status of the Duke's Palace and could only be a fifth-rank official. This status was too low. How could she go out to socialize in the future?
Jia She sneered and said: "Why can't the family be divided? Old lady, according to the rules, after the old lady passes away, the family can be divided. But the old lady is not happy, so I followed your wishes. But now? For the sake of a piece of
Born and raised flesh and blood, old lady, you are going to drag us all to die on the back of the second room! Then what are we going to do with you? Of course we have to separate the family. Old lady, what is the situation at the empress’ place? We all
The family is very clean, so don’t be careless with us! After the separation, which relative do you want to contact your mother-in-law? You can contact them yourself. They have nothing to do with our family anyway."
Jia Mu said angrily: "Boss, what nonsense are you talking about? I am doing this for the future of our Jia family!"
Jia She laughed twice and said: "The future of the Jia family? You are thinking about the future of your beloved second wife, right? Besides, it is not certain whether there will be a future or not! Old lady, I will also put my words aside today.
Here it is: Our eldest brother has no intention of getting involved in this matter. The middle school is inherited by our eldest son. The second son’s family is not allowed to touch even a cent of the money in the public house and the things in the warehouse! Anyway, it’s really precious.
My brother is here, so I will just be the middle man and we will separate immediately! Otherwise, I will immediately file a letter and go to the Ministry of Etiquette to receive a few beatings. I will also file a petition saying that there are some people in our family who do not cultivate personal ethics and want to give them to me.
The daughter in the palace and the flesh and blood in her belly are rebelling!"
Mother Jia was so angry that she trembled all over: "Boss, are you trying to make me angry to death?"
Jia She said: "Old lady, you live a long life, and you can't die easily. Don't look at me because I don't know your thoughts. For the sake of your precious second wife and family, you won't give up so easily. In short,
Whether you agree or not today, I just want to separate the family! Otherwise,"
Jia She's yellow eyes stared at Jia Zheng's family fiercely. Jia Zheng couldn't help but take two steps back and hit the leg of the chair. Jia She said: "Old lady, don't blame me for doing anything ugly.
It is clearly recorded in the Code of Laws, what is the crime if an official exceeds the regulations! My father is guilty, and the queen in the palace cannot escape the involvement!"
Mother Jia was so angry that she just pouted over. Sister Feng, Xia Jingui and Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward to help and pinch the person. Jia Zheng said anxiously: "Brother, how can you be so angry with mother? Mother is old..."
Before he could finish his words, Jia She spat on his face: "Do you have the nerve to talk about me, my eldest brother? I am the one who makes the final decision in this family. You, a second-family member, are talking here? What are you talking about?
Are you qualified to speak here? Humph, you dare to accuse me. If it weren’t for you, because of your good daughter, why would our family be in this situation now? You are an old fool, and you can only occupy the magpie’s nest by yourself.
Forget it, your daughter-in-law has followed you and made a fortune every day. Not only does she steal our family’s money to line her own pocket, but she also tries every means to get money from us to support your daughter? Are you worthy? Give your family to us as soon as possible.
If I divide it, I will save you from losing all the things in the house in the future."
