Chapter 185: Watching Yuanchun's entry into the palace with a cold eye
The eldest man suddenly talked about Jia Rong, the heir to the Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Qiang, a direct descendant of the very close blood. In addition to looking down on Jia Zhen's upbringing of his children, he also had another thought.
Qin Keqing!
Because Jia Mu and Jia Zheng wanted to send Yuan Chun to the palace to fight for wealth, the eldest man suddenly thought of the mysterious daughter-in-law Qin Keqing in Ningguo Mansion.
This is also a troublesome character. He seems to be mixed with royal status. If he fails, he will become a time bomb.
"How can it be!"
Jia Zhen didn't think much about it and said smoothly: "My nephew has already chosen a wife for Ronger. After a while, he will marry her. After getting married, Ronger will be considered an adult!"
"What, Rong'er is only thirteen years old now. It's still too early for her to be crowned. It's not good to get married so early. Outsiders will gossip!"
The elder followed the topic and directly expressed his dissatisfaction: "I said, nephew Zhen, how can you become a father? How can you do such a ridiculous thing?"
It’s not that children from farm families need their offspring to help with farm work and support the family. Generally, children from powerful families will only consider formal marriage when they are over 16 years old. As for whether they have already become old drivers after living and drinking at a young age, it is not the point.
Jia Zhen smiled coquettishly. Since she had aroused the suspicion of the elder, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she decided to tell the truth: "Uncle Pardon, let me tell you the truth. The identity of the nephew who engaged Ronger in marriage is not simple.
!”
His voice became much softer, as if he was afraid that the walls had ears.
"How extraordinary can it be?"
The elder sneered and said angrily: "It's nothing more than royal blood. With the current power of Ningguo Mansion, can it still be married to the royal family?"
It can only be said that Jia Zhen does have some abilities. The reputation of Ningguo Mansion has declined to a certain extent. In the capital, it is really like a small and medium-sized family, and it is still the kind of existence that does not have much say.
Even though Jia Zhen has many friends around her, she has very few connections that she can really use. She can only bluff people by joining forces with fellow sufferers Rong Guofu.
It's such a Ningguo Mansion, but it's still possible to marry a woman with royal blood. It's really a pity that this ability to work hard can't be mixed up in the officialdom.
Seeing that the elder had guessed the clues, Jia Zhen did not mean to be embarrassed and explained in a low voice: "The person who is engaged to Ronger is the daughter-in-law of the old Prince Xianyi Zhong, and it is not recorded on the royal jade plate!"
"Then you don't have to be in such a hurry to marry me back!"
The elder looked calm and was not affected by the news at all. He said angrily: "Now that we have decided, why not wait until the two children are older? It will be good for their health!"
It can only be said that Jia Zhen is quite courageous. After gradually taking the throne, she still gets involved with the legacy of Prince Yi Zhong. What does she want to do?
"It doesn't matter to my nephew, it's just that the old lady has been asking me a lot lately, so I just wanted to do it as soon as possible!"
Speaking of this, Jia Zhen was also a little confused: "Uncle Pardon, is there anything wrong?"
Naturally inappropriate!
This is double insurance created by Jia Mu!
The elder instantly understood Jia Mu's thoughts. If Yuan Chun did not do well in the harem, he could still get in touch with the royal family through Qin Keqing, or with Prince Yizhong.
It’s just an old lady, have you considered the consequences of doing this?
What Prince Yi Zhong is thinking is now known to both the government and the public. Once the Supreme Emperor dies, Prince Yi Zhong’s ambitions will never be tolerated.
By then, Ningguo Mansion, which has a relationship with Prince Yizhong, will definitely have no place to hide!
Sure enough, ginger is very spicy!
It seems that Rong Guo Mansion has nothing to do with this matter. If something goes wrong, Ning Guo Mansion will be the one to blame. But once Ning Guo Mansion is destroyed, can Rong Guo Mansion really be able to survive alone?
Even if the Rongfu Mansion can escape the disaster, without the Ning Mansion as a backing, the reputation of the Rongguo Mansion will be greatly affected, and it is not impossible that it will be completely defeated.
Therefore, this move may seem shrewd, but it is actually quite risky.
It can only be said that Jia Mu is very good at this kind of conspiracy. Unfortunately, her judgment of the external situation and her own strength is not accurate enough. Once something goes wrong, everything will be lost.
It was impossible for the elder to say these words in front of Jia Zhen, so he just chuckled and said, "The old lady is going to send Yuan Chun to the palace to strive for a rich future!"
Otherwise, Jia Zhen is very smart. He immediately thought of everything that the elder could think of, and his face became a little ugly, but he didn't mean to get angry.
This is the case inside a powerful family. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. At this time, the Ning Mansion is weak, and it can only admit that it is unlucky after being plotted.
"Don't be in a hurry to get married. First find out the thoughts of Prince Yi Zhong, and then find a way to make the daughter-in-law you choose appear in front of the royal family. Even if you can't get on the jade plate, you still have to know that there is such a famous person!"
The elder chuckled, changed the subject, and said, "Otherwise, your wife's identity will be a big hidden danger. The crime of not reporting the information can be big or small, so you have to think clearly!"
Hearing this, Jia Zhen's heart trembled, and she thought carefully about whether this was really the case.
The reason is very simple. What does Ning Guofu want to do by quietly marrying a woman with royal blood? Does he have ulterior motives or does he want to plot against the royal family?
As long as someone from the royal family is suspicious and makes some noise, the Ningguo Mansion will be completely destroyed, and there will be no room for improvement.
Thinking of the serious consequences, Jia Zhen suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said in panic: "Uncle Pardon, help me!"
"I asked you to do such a thing in private, now you are dumbfounded!"
The eldest man was there and said angrily: "Fortunately, Brother Rong is still young. Don't be busy with weddings first. Let's solve the identity issue of the betrothed party first!"
"Yes, yes, my nephew is terrified, and there is nothing he can do at the moment!"
"Don't you know the power eunuch in the palace? If you try to establish a relationship with the Prince of Yizhong County, not only do you want the royal family to recognize the identity of the betrothed woman, as long as they know that such a person exists!"
Having said this, the elder smiled slightly and said leisurely: "Maybe the Ningguo Mansion will have a relationship with the royal family. As long as you don't risk your life and get involved in the big case of cooperating with the nine clans, you can expect to be rich and wealthy for decades!"
When Jia Zhen heard this, she couldn't hide the joy on her face. Isn't the reason why he went all out to arrange an early engagement for Jia Rong just for this?
…
After sending away Jia Zhen, who was full of ambition, a little arrogant and a little unsure, the elder smiled lightly and didn't take it too seriously.
With his peak Dan-holding strength, he can get along well no matter where he is, even if he goes against the royal family, there is no need to worry too much about his own safety.
The reason why I spend part of my mind and energy on sorting out government affairs and family affairs is because I have free time. Of course, it is also because I don't want something to happen to someone I have known for many years.
He would not be stingy if he could help, but if Ning Rong's second mansion really couldn't hold up the wall, he wouldn't mind watching quietly as the two mansions collapsed. All he cared about was love and nothing else.
Apart from other things, the eldest man is very sure that nothing will happen to the eldest house, unless Jia Mu and the second ward forcefully push the eldest house into the pit. If such a thing really happens, the division of the sect will be inevitable.
As for the ancestral spirits transformed by the two princes, the elder did not pay too much attention to them. If they wanted to object to the division of sects, they had to ask the elder if he agreed.
The current situation has not yet reached that point. Even if Jia Mu and the second bedroom are messing around, it is still within the scope of the eldest master, so the atmosphere in the house will naturally not be too bad.
The next few days were uneventful, and they were doing whatever they had to do. There were no abnormal changes at all. Only Lian Er came from time to time to report on the progress of Yuanchun's entry into the palace.
As expected, this boy was dragged by the old lady and drank a pot of ecstasy soup. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared in advance and was not fooled. Unfortunately, he still couldn't escape the fate of running errands. He was driven around by the old lady and the two men from the second room, and he was busy all day long.
It's unspeakably painful to have my feet not touch the ground.
Wang Xifeng was quite dissatisfied with this. Lian Er finally had a long vacation. She wanted Lian Er to help continue cleaning up the house, but the old lady and the second bedroom were too urgent.
Not to mention wandering around, even Wang Xifeng himself could not escape being sent to run errands.
Because of this matter, even the housekeeper made mistakes several times. Wang Xifeng was so angry and helpless that the old lady and the second wife acted like elders. As juniors, they could only bow their heads and submit.
The Wang family and the Shi family gradually reached a tacit understanding through repeated communications. As the day when Yuanchun entered the palace was getting closer, even Wang Ziteng and the Shi family took the initiative to come to discuss the matter.
The elder did not come forward, but only listened to Lian Er's report that they had reached certain agreements with the old lady. Since he was not qualified to participate, he did not know what the agreements were.
"Don't get too involved. If the old lady asks you to run errands, just do it. Don't worry about other things!"
Seeing Lian Er's unwillingness, the elder said angrily: "With your current strength, it is only right not to join in blindly. Don't overestimate your capabilities and make others laugh!"
Lian Er was still dissatisfied, and the elder sneered: "Despite the positive attitudes of the Shi family and the Wang family, they don't really take Yuanchun's entry into the palace too seriously. It's gratifying that it happened, even if it doesn't work for them, the two families
No harm done!”
"The historian can't hinder the old lady's face. Besides, the market is bullish right now. It's nothing for those two cunning guys to invest a little in advance!"
"Wizi Teng is even simpler. He doesn't want to offend the Rong family. Don't glare. This is a fact!"
"Even though Wang Ziteng is enjoying great success right now, he has a small foundation and needs to get help from the four major families before he can go further. You kid, think about it carefully and don't be fooled by the idea in front of you!"
No matter what, by the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, the preliminary preparations for Yuanchun's entry into the palace had been completed. On the morning before the Dragon Boat Festival, the little girl said goodbye to her family with a face full of reluctance, got into a small green cloth sedan and quietly entered the palace.
