Zhou Rui's family thought that since their daughter was here today, they would explain to her the situation of Rongguo Mansion today so that she would not talk nonsense outside and offend the nobles in the mansion.
You must know that the uncle is in charge of the infantry commander's office now. As long as he gives a little hint, his son-in-law's antique shop will not be able to open.
"Don't look at the fact that there hasn't been much movement in Rongguo Mansion for the past two days. From now on, it will be very lively. From now on, when officials come to visit, people giving gifts will be able to travel for miles." Zhou Rui's family first told his daughter about Rongguo Mansion.
The future scene.
At this time, Zhou Qian heard that something was different about Rongguo Mansion, because the rise and fall of Rongguo Mansion was related to the quality of their family's business. Although she didn't take Rongguo Mansion seriously on the surface, she was actually worried about it. She quickly asked:
"Mom, what's going on? Could it be that the Rongguo Mansion is really getting up? Is it that someone in the mansion has been promoted?"
"If you go up one or two ranks, you can have such a grand occasion as I mentioned. Let me tell you the truth. The eldest son in our mansion has won the favor of the emperor and has made meritorious service. The emperor has promoted our eldest son to the minister of military aircraft.
He is also in charge of the emperor's imperial army and infantry commanding the Yamen." Zhou Rui's family said proudly that this is a great honor for the Jia Mansion. Many old people in the Jia Mansion can already imagine that Rongguo Mansion will return to two people in the future.
The grand occasion of the old Duke's reign.
Zhou Qian was a little dazed after hearing this, and then asked confusedly: "What kind of official is the Minister of Military Aircraft? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"The emperor has abolished the Grand Scholar. From now on, the Minister of Military and Aircraft will handle the government affairs instead of the Grand Master. I just asked outside and found that there are only two Ministers of Military and Aircraft in the current government, and our uncle is one of them." Zhou Rui's family now
She was also very excited. With Jia Ke as her backer in the future, they were not just walking sideways in the capital. Two days ago, someone asked her to send a message to the steward in the infantry commander's yamen prison, so that her children would suffer less.
, she was still a little undecided at the time, but now it seems that this is a big deal. As long as she takes the post to talk about it, how can the guards in the prison dare to disobey orders.
"Isn't that equivalent to the prime minister?" Zhou Qian said in disbelief. She now knew that this position was no small matter.
"That's not the case, so I asked you to be careful what you say in this mansion. If what you just said is heard by others, you will gossip to the old lady and say that you look down on the ladies in the mansion and think you are better than them.
Noble, we will suffer when the time comes." Zhou Rui's family warned her daughter again. She had pampered her daughter and developed her outspoken and arrogant temper. Now she has to keep a close eye, otherwise she will cause trouble.
Not to mention anyone else, it was the Wang Shanbao family member in front of Mrs.
She was in an uproar.
While the mother and daughter were chatting, Zhou Rui's son came back from outside. He ran into the house excitedly and was about to say something to his mother. Suddenly he saw Zhou Ying, and his face immediately darkened. What did he think of this sister?
She is very dissatisfied. She is already married, and she returns home every now and then to enjoy the autumn breeze. She wishes she could move her family to her husband's house. In fact, she has a shop at home, so what's wrong with her?
When Zhou Rui's family saw their son coming back, they knew that he and their daughter were not getting along, so they quickly smoothed things over and said, "Why are you running so fast? There is a hozen chasing you behind? Your sister doesn't know how to say hello when she comes. She is outside every day.
Drinking and fooling around."
Zhou Heng, the son of Zhou Rui's family, ignored his sister and said to his mother with excitement: "Mom, I heard others say that you are arranging people to go to the uncle's house?"
"That's what happened. What are you going to do? You can't just accept other people's money and come to me to intercede. I can tell you, you should put this idea away from me. If you let the uncle find something wrong with the errand this time,
I can't forgive him." Zhou Rui's family knew that their son had some bad friends, so they silenced him in advance.
Zhou Heng said aggrievedly: "I'm such a bastard. I haven't even said anything yet, so you gave me a lecture and stopped people from talking properly."
"Okay, don't pretend to be aggrieved. If you have anything to do, tell me immediately. I'm still busy." Zhou Rui's family already knew what their son's temper was like, and they didn't pay attention to his grievances but his expressions.
Zhou Heng, when your mother said this, you immediately put away your aggrieved expression, changed your face to a smile, and then said to Zhou Rui's family in a flattering way: "Mom, you are tired, let me rub your shoulders." Then he said
He came behind Zhou Rui's house and rubbed her shoulders and patted her back.
While Zhou Rui's family was enjoying their son's rare filial piety, they said to their own son: "I don't know what you have in mind? Did you see that people were going to be divided into people in the house over there, and you wanted to go there too. Let me tell you, you
Accept this thought and don’t even think about it.”
"Why, I heard outside that the palace over there is different from the past. From now on, it will be in the prime minister's foyer. Everyone wants their children to go there. Since you are in charge of this matter, why don't you stuff me in." Zhou Rui's family
The son said dissatisfied.
He inquired about this matter very clearly. I am afraid that the future of their uncle will have a chance to improve. Now the people in the past are all the old people of Wuyang Marquis Mansion. In the future, any individual can take care of all matters. No matter how bad it is, it will be better.
How could he be short-changed by being able to go out and manage a village and be the second master? He had already boasted in front of that group of friends and would definitely become the steward of Wuyang Hou Mansion. If his mother did not agree to let him
If you push it through, you won't be embarrassed in front of your friends.
Zhou Rui's family looked at him angrily, and said to him angrily: "If you had made any progress, I would have stuffed you away. Look at you now. If you have a bad temper, I will stuff you away."
In the past, if you offended the noble people over there, I couldn't save you. It's better to stay here honestly and I can take care of you if you need anything."
Although Zhou Heng felt that what his mother said was reasonable, he still muttered something dissatisfied and went back to his room angrily.
Zhou Rui's family looked at her son's back, feeling satisfied with her son in her heart. Although her temper was a bit irritable, she was willing to listen to what they said. She thought that as long as she found a wife and took care of him in the future, they would be gone.
I can also close my eyes.
When Zhou Qian heard such big news from her mother, her heart was churning. She wanted to go home quickly and tell her husband, and find a way to make the officials who came to give gifts in the future at least buy some antiques from their store.
So he smiled and said to Zhou Rui's family: "Mom, you still have something to do, so I won't bother you. I still have some things to do at home, so I'll go back first."
After saying this, he hurriedly walked out. Who is Zhou Rui's family? He could see through her little tricks at a glance. When he saw his daughter leaving in a hurry, he couldn't help but mutter, "What's the use of raising children?"
If you are raising it for others, there will be no one who is considerate and caring."
After that, Zhou Rui's family focused on the roster again. She wanted to screen all the people today, and then she would lead them to the nearby mansion in a short while. Everything had to be arranged. The uncle would be staying in the house in the next two days.
In the past, there would definitely be someone to take care of you when the time comes.
Not to mention that the Zhou Rui family was racking their brains here to distribute the favors in Rongguo Mansion. Besides, Jia Ke returned to Aunt Zhou's courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a group of little maids surrounding him.
Among them, Xia Mai walked at the front. She is now Aunt Zhou's personal maid and the one who has been with Aunt Zhou the longest. Now there are more than ten people under one person in Aunt Zhou's yard. All the little maids are like
She is on track.
A group of little maids came down below to stand in front of Jia Ke, and then they all bowed to him and saluted, saying: "Slave wait, congratulations on your promotion."
Then they knelt there, looking at Jia Ke with big watery eyes.
When Jia Ke saw this situation, he realized that this was a robbery on the road. This was Xia Mai's old trick. However, Jia Ke still took good care of Xia Mai. After all, he relied on her to take care of Aunt Zhou when he was no longer around.
So Jia Ke reluctantly took out an ingot of small gold ingots weighing four to five ounces from his arms. Then he threw it to Xia Mai and said, "Take it, this is a reward for you. Go down and divide it among yourself."
Xia Mai took the gold ingot and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. At this time, a group of maids gathered around her and looked at the gold ingot with curiosity. This thing is very rare for these little maids.
Xia Mai came to see them gathered in a circle and forgot about Jia Ke, and said quickly: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a small gold ingot? When there is no one at night, you can look at it however you want. Let's welcome the uncle quickly.
Go in, otherwise my aunt will have to wait impatiently."
Only then did the maid realize what she was doing, so she welcomed Jia Ke into the main room like stars holding the moon.
Aunt Zhou was sitting on the bed by the window at this time. When she saw him coming in, she hurried over and packed his clothes. Where could Jia Ke be served by Aunt Zhou? She quickly said: "Auntie, don't be like this. Let the maids do these tasks."
Just let others know, what can they say about me?"
Aunt Zhou gave up after hearing what Jia Ke said. Then she sat on the bed and looked at several maids. She changed Jia Ke's coat and put the plain clothes on him back at home. Then she waved him to get off the bed. Then she carefully
Looking at Jia Ke, tears flowed from his eyes.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you've been wronged in some way? Tell your son." Jia Ke looked at Auntie Zhou crying inexplicably and was a little panicked.
"How can I be wronged? I have good food and drink in this house, and I have servants to serve me. No one dares to say anything big to me."
"Then what's wrong with my aunt? I shed tears as soon as I come back?"
"Aren't I happy? I heard they said you are now the prime minister? Is this the case?" Aunt Zhou put away her tears and looked at Jia Ke expectantly.
Jia Ke looked at her expectant eyes and had to say to her: "There is no prime minister now, but the emperor made me the military minister, and the things I dealt with were similar to those of the previous prime ministers. So I was called a fool by others, but we
