I don’t know if it’s because Jia Zhen’s mobility is too strong or because Wang Ziteng doesn’t care about this matter.
On the third day, Jia Zhen hurriedly came over to report that he had found out the details of Yuanchun's incident through his connections in the palace, but he just said that Yuanchun was unlucky.
It turns out that Concubine Zhengui is indeed planning to give Yuanchun as a gift to the present day in the New Year as agreed. As long as there are no evil moths in the process, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's plan will be considered successful.
It's a pity that during the Chinese New Year, for some reason, I had some conflicts with the Supreme Emperor. Naturally, I felt very unhappy with my temper, and I didn't like the Supreme Emperor and everything related to him.
I don't know if Concubine Zhen Gui was acting secrecy or if she did it deliberately. In short, I knew her plan early and was not happy at all.
The emperor was not happy, so Yuanchun naturally became a victim. He was intercepted by the queen and dragged to Kunning Palace to become a female historian. There was no possibility of becoming a concubine in the harem in the short term.
The news brought by Jia Zhen disappointed Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
According to the analysis of the information obtained through inquiring, there is no hope for Yuanchun in the short term, and it can even be said to be completely useless. If he does not get the current favor when he is young and tender, there will be no hope when he is older.
Nowadays, it is different from modern society. Women are considered old maids after they are seventeen or eighteen years old. In the palace, they are the target of bullying and ridicule. It is extremely difficult to get ahead.
"My poor Motoharu!"
Mrs. Wang burst into tears and howled non-stop. There was nothing artificial about her expression. It was obvious that she was really worried about Yuanchun's future.
"It's better to find a way to get Yuanchun out of the palace!"
After Mrs. Wang calmed down, the eldest man suggested: "Find a way to ask for a favor from me. It shouldn't be a big problem. What does the old lady think?"
"No!" Before Jia Mu could say anything, Mrs. Wang flatly rejected it.
Seeing everyone's eyes gathering together, Mrs. Wang looked a little embarrassed and said harshly: "Yuan Chun was able to enter the palace with great difficulty, so it would be a pity to suddenly take her out of the palace!"
What a pity!
This is the reason why the eldest master is unwilling to take action. It would be embarrassing if he tried his best to bring Yuanchun out of the palace but failed to get a good result.
"Boss, don't talk nonsense. Yuanchun has great fortune. Maybe there will be another opportunity in the Queen's Palace, so don't interfere carelessly!"
Jia Mu also joined in the conversation, obviously very dissatisfied with the elder's words.
Okay then, as long as you like it!
What else can the elder say? My mother and grandmother are like this. As an uncle, I can't just do everything for them. I might as well just let nature take its course.
Ignoring Jia Mu's ugly expression, he said that there was something going on at the Yamen and left Rongqing Hall directly. The Yuanchun incident had been stopped by the elder, and he would not easily interfere in the future.
The rumors about the eldest girl Yuanchun in the Rong Mansion were quickly extinguished as soon as they started. Jia Mu's actions were indeed extraordinary, and her control over the manor was astonishing. Even the servants who had always been disobedient did not dare to talk nonsense.
, but it made Wang Xifeng so depressed that she almost vomited blood.
Jia Mu has the ability to restrain the servants in the mansion, but she just lets it go. Only when it really affects the interests of the mansion or her own interests does she take action, which is really upsetting.
Even so, the servants in the mansion were even less optimistic about the second wife, and they couldn't hold on to the big master's thick thighs, so they had no choice but to surrender to Lian Er and his wife. For a while, Wang Xifeng was really majestic and prosperous.
Who doesn't know that the second wife has placed all her bets on Miss Yuanchun who enters the palace?
As long as the eldest girl Yuanchun can be named a concubine, she will still be able to shake up her second wife and become the strongest thigh in Rongguo Mansion. Even the old lady has great expectations for this.
But in the end, the plan that cost an unknown amount of money and money fell short at the last moment. The second house basically had no room for improvement, at least within ten years.
It will take at least ten years for the other Mr. Bao, who has great fortune, to mature.
That is to say, the second-fang government official is in the Rongguo Mansion and is protected by the Rongguo Mansion and the eldest master. Otherwise, with the energy of the second-fang, I am afraid that he would have been swallowed up to the bone.
"A bunch of white-eyed wolves who follow the wind will make you regret it sooner or later!"
Suddenly the house became deserted and the traffic was sparse. Mrs. Wang naturally found it difficult to accept such a gap. She was so angry at the group of servants in the house who acted according to the prevailing circumstances, but she was helpless.
He had no choice but to vent his anger on the second house's territory. The maids and women who belonged to the second house and even Li Wan, Jia Zhu's daughter-in-law, were all in bad luck. Even Aunt Zhao, who had always been favored by the second master of the government, was tortured to death and miserable.
But Mr. Zheng was also very depressed at this time. If he hadn't pretended to be a gentleman for so long and didn't want to destroy his character, he would have been tempted to be violent.
He was really depressed. He originally thought he could turn around with the help of Yuanchun's concubine, but something went wrong at this critical moment. All the previous efforts were in vain. His future in the officialdom was also bleak. He was called the face-loving second master of politics.
I'm so depressed that I don't even want to go out and meet people.
Is a fifth-grade official who is the father of a palace concubine the same as a fifth-grade official with no bright future?
The entire second house fell into an inexplicable state of low pressure after Yuanchun's hope of becoming a concubine failed, and everyone felt inexplicably heavy and depressed.
Especially when the first bedroom was surrounded by servants all day long and noisy, compared to the deserted second bedroom, I felt even more depressed.
Such an atmosphere almost made it difficult for Jia Zhu to breathe. He was already in poor health, and his energy had been sluggish recently, and his whole complexion was becoming increasingly depressed.
"Uncle, you have to take good care of your body!"
Li Wan, who was exhausted, came back from the second wife's main room. When he saw Jia Zhu, who was emaciated and might fall down at any time, he felt anxious. He quickly took the ginseng chicken soup from the maid's hand and tried to comfort Jia Zhu.
She waited carefully while he drank the small bowl of medicinal soup.
"Hey, this situation is really worrying!"
Jia Zhu sat on a soft chair, wrapped in thick brocade fur, with a sad face and said with a wry smile: "My eldest sister's situation in the palace is unclear, and the master and his wife are like this, how can I feel relieved!"
"uncle!"
Li Wan sorted out his words and said carefully: "My master and his wife have not told us about the eldest sister. We will only know about it after the eldest sister enters the palace..."
At this point, the meaning is very clear. Jia Zhu's group has basically been abandoned by the second room, at least in a short period of time.
Why is it that Jia Zhu has poor health and is unable to take the imperial examination to become an official? His son Jia Lan is too young and it will take more than ten years to pass the imperial examination.
It can be said that the second house uncle Jia Zhu's team was completely ruined in a short period of time.
Although Mrs. Wang was very concerned about Jia Zhu's body and bones, and sent valuable medicinal materials from time to time to nourish her body, Jia Zhu could still feel the gradually cold attitude of her husband and wife.
This made him very uncomfortable, but his family knew his own affairs, and his body was too weak to do anything. No wonder others regarded him as a useless person.
"No need to say more!"
Jia Zhu waved her hand to stop his wife's complaints and said with a smile: "Under the current circumstances, I have to find a way to go out and do things!"
"uncle!"
Li Wan was so shocked that he almost fell down and said hurriedly: "But your body..."
"Don't worry, you're not going out to live a life!"
Jia Zhu said confidently: "It shouldn't be a problem if I just find a way to go to the Yamen to do some simple paperwork!"
Seeing that his wife was still talking with disapproval on her face, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Even if you don't think about others, you still have to think about Lan'er's future!"
Li Wan was stunned, his mind was complicated and he didn't know what to say.
Jia Zhu's words spoke to her heart.
The resources for the second house were already insufficient, and most of them were invested in Yuan Chun, who entered the palace. The rest of the resources seemed to be put on his brother-in-law Jia Baoyu.
As the eldest son and legitimate grandson, Jia Lan could not get any resources!
Every time he thought about this, Li Wan couldn't help but feel anxious. Without resources to help, what if he passed the Jinshi examination? Are there fewer Jinshi candidates waiting in the capital?
But neither Jia Zhu nor she could say anything about the allocation of resources for the second room, which was quite embarrassing.
Now that she heard that her husband Jia Zhu was preparing to go out to work and pave the way for her son, she swallowed back the objection she was about to blurt out.
"How about I ask dad for help?"
After thinking for a while, Li Wan gritted his teeth and said, "Let dad help move the position?"
"With my reputation, it is not appropriate to go to the Imperial College to work!"
Jia Zhu shook his head. Besides, his father-in-law, the Imperial Academy, had a high reputation in the literary world, but the real power in his hands was very limited, and he had to take into account that his literary reputation would not be used for personal gain.
"What should we do?"
Li Wan thought the same thing and said depressedly: "Master, Madam and the others..."
I was unwilling to put resources into my husband. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became and almost shed tears.
"Don't worry, I'll go ask uncle!"
Jia Zhu smiled and said: "It was my uncle who came forward in the first place and I was able to save my life from death. Since then, we have always been very respectful to my uncle. I think with my uncle's temperament, I should help!"
Li Wan's heart moved and he opened his mouth to express his objection, but in the end nothing came out.
…
"Oh, Pearl, do you want to go out and do something?"
The elder smiled and looked at the thin young man in front of him, but full of the atmosphere of a scholar.
"Exactly, please help me, uncle!"
Jia Zhu nodded calmly, her eyes firm and serious.
"good!"
The elder laughed, and he still had a good impression of the nephew in front of him who saved his life with his own hands. Of course, the ugly words must be said clearly first: "I can help you get a clerk of about ninth grade at most, who is responsible for the collection of official books.
Management, don’t be too dissatisfied with the idleness of an official!”
Jia Zhu was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "My nephew, this is what I want!"
This was what he was thinking. He originally planned to start as a literary clerk, but he didn't expect that the eldest master would be so generous and immediately prepared to help him find a leisurely and decent official position. Even though the ninth rank was not high, it was enough for him.
For him, a higher official position is not only not a good thing, but also an unbearable burden!
