Jia Ke was very happy when he received the notice from Jia Zheng that Aunt Zhou could go to Wuyang Hou Mansion to take care of Qin Keqing. Although Aunt Zhou has lived a prosperous and wealthy life in recent years, she has always been inferior to Mrs. Wang.
In addition, her status in Rongguo Mansion is not high, so she is not very relaxed mentally. This time she can go to Wuyang Marquis Mansion. Jia Ke also wants to let her relax for a while and live like an old lady for a few days.
.
On the day when Aunt Zhou was visiting Wuyang Hou Mansion, Jia Ke personally greeted her. He brought a dozen maids and women and a luxurious soft sedan to Aunt Zhou's yard.
Aunt Zhou came to live in Wuyang Hou Mansion, and the happiest person among them was Jia Ke. He planned to arrange for Aunt Zhou to live in a large courtyard next to Wuwei Hall. When this courtyard was built, it was originally arranged for Wuyang Hou.
The elders lived there, and now that Aunt Zhou is here, she will naturally live there.
When Jia Ke arrived outside Aunt Zhou's yard, Xia Mai had been waiting for a long time. After knowing that he was going to live in Wuyang Hou Mansion, Xia Mai packed up the things in the yard early and waited to meet Aunt Zhou.
We went to Wuyanghou Mansion together. When these maids were in Rongguo Mansion, they were just maids under Aunt Zhou and did not have any rights or privileges. But once they followed Aunt Zhou to Wuyanghou Mansion, they would be the people around the old lady.
Now, she has some fame and power in Wuyang Hou Mansion, so Aunt Zhou's maids are very active in this matter.
Jia Ke came to Aunt Zhou's yard and entered the main room under the leadership of Xia Mai. As soon as Jia Ke entered the room, he saw that Aunt Zhou was fully dressed up, and he had also put on his sixth-grade court clothes.
Jia Ke felt a little sad when he saw it. He understood what Aunt Zhou meant. She dressed up like this because she was afraid that she would go to Wuyang Hou Mansion and the maids in the mansion would look down on her, so she dressed up like this. It was also a sign of inferiority complex.
Performance.
Jia Ke came to heaven to salute Aunt Zhou and said, "Auntie, why are you wearing these? As long as you are your son or the owner of Wuyang Hou Mansion, who would dare to be disrespectful to you?"
After hearing what Jia Ke said, Aunt Zhou just shook her head, and then said helplessly: "You don't understand. These minions in our house are used to flattering the superiors and suppressing the inferiors. If I went to your place silently, I'm afraid
I will be despised by them."
Jia Ke feels that Aunt Zhou thinks too much. No matter it is Wuyanghou Mansion or Rongguo Mansion, who doesn't know that Aunt Zhou is his biological mother, and who dares to be disrespectful to her. But since Aunt Zhou is not at ease, then just go with it.
Let her go.
So Jia Ke accompanied Aunt Zhou, except for the small courtyard and a group of maids and women, and went to Mrs. Wang's yard first. Aunt Zhou was leaving Rongguo Mansion and going to Wuyang Hou Mansion, and she had to fight with Mrs. Wang no matter what.
Say hello. Otherwise it would be etiquette wrong.
A group of about twenty people came to Mrs. Wang's courtyard in a mighty manner, startling Caixia who was sprinkling water in the courtyard. When she saw clearly, Aunt Zhou and Jia Ke in the front, this
Only then did he realize that he wanted to say goodbye to Mrs. Wang. It turned out that Aunt Zhou was going to live in Wuyanghou Mansion, and Jia Zheng had already greeted Mrs. Wang.
When Caixia saw Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou, she hurriedly came up to salute, "I have met the uncle and Aunt Zhou."
Aunt Zhou stood aside and said nothing, but Jia Ke directly ordered: "Go in and inform mother that Aunt Zhou and I are here to bid farewell to mother."
Caixia agreed and hurried into the main room. Soon he came out and came to Jia Ke again. After saluting him, he said: "Sir, Mrs. Zhou, please let the two of you in."
Jia Ke agreed and then took Aunt Zhou into Mrs. Wang's main room. As soon as Jia Ke entered the room, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting on the kang in the middle, chanting sutras and banging wooden fish.
Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou quickly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang didn't seem to see them. She kept talking about the Buddhist scriptures in her mouth and holding the wooden fish in her hands.
Jia Ke and the other two people knelt down and felt a little embarrassed for a long time. Jia Ke was a little unhappy. Except for the emperor, no one in the court dared to give him such authority.
So Jia Ke coughed heavily, and Mrs. Wang seemed to have reacted at this time. She turned around and glanced at them, and said lightly: "Get up, who are you kneeling there to show me?"
Jia Ke was speechless by her words. This was really a bad person who complained first.
But Jia Ke didn't lose his temper. In this world ruled by feudal ethics, small impatience can lead to big plans.
When Mrs. Wang saw them getting up, she put the Buddhist scriptures aside and asked with a smile as if she was very close to Jia Ke: "Brother, are you going to take your aunt to live in the mansion for how many days?"
"My son is here to pay his respects to his mother." Jia Ke asked Mrs. Wang first, and quickly gave her a gift before answering her: "This is the grace of my father and mother, allowing my aunt to go to the mansion to take care of my daughter-in-law.
After all, this is Qin’s first child, so there won’t be anyone with experience to take care of her.”
"That's right. It's not okay if there is no one around to take care of you at this time."
At this time, Aunt Zhou also stepped forward to salute, and then said respectfully to Mrs. Wang: "Thank you, madam, for your consideration. I will never forget your great kindness in the future."
"As long as you have this intention, do I still need something that I need you to repay?" Mrs. Wang had a smile on her face and glanced at Jia Ke.
As soon as Jia Ke saw Mrs. Wang's look, he knew that she had something wrong, so he took the initiative and asked: "Mother naturally lacks everything, but I can't guarantee that someone will blame her for things. My son is still in court."
If you can say a few words, I'll give it to my mother when the time comes."
"I am a woman, who would ask me for such big things? I just can't let go of your second brother. He has taken the exam several times over the years, and every time he failed due to physical reasons. It will take another one or two months.
, he will end up again, I wonder if he can succeed this time?" After Mrs. Wang said this, the sadness in her eyes never stopped.
It has been seven or eight months since Jia Ke returned to the capital from Xuanfu Town, and he has only met Jia Zhu very rarely. Just because Jia Zhu worked too hard and Jia Ke was busy with official duties, the two of them did not work together.
There were no opportunities to meet. However, Jia Ke also saw from the few opportunities to meet that Jia Zhu's body was already broken even though she had given up taking drugs. Because of Jia Ke's opinion, it was better to give up the imperial examination and stay at home.
If you meditate and recuperate, you may be able to live for more than ten years. If you study hard like you are now, I am afraid that your energy will soon dry up.
Jia Ke thought about the matter, and then said to Mrs. Wang appropriately: "Mom, don't be offended, I want to say some unpleasant words."
Mrs. Wang thought that Jia Ke was unwilling to help, so her face became gloomy, but she was unwilling to bow her head in front of Jia Ke, so she managed to say: "We are both mother and son. If you don't mind being weird, just say what you want."
"Mother, I think my second brother's health is really bad. Continuing to study hard like this is not an option. It is better to let him calm down and take good care of his body. Then he can put his studies aside. As for the imperial examination, I will give him some advice.
You promise me, as long as my second brother can persevere until all the exams are completed, I will ensure that he succeeds in the examination." Jia Ke felt that Jia Zhu would not be able to continue like this. Giving him a candidate with his own status would not be the same as the opposite.
Zhang, although he promised Jia Zheng not to get involved in Jia Zhu's affairs, but as long as he said hello secretly, who would know? After all, Jia Zhu is still his brother, so it is really unreasonable not to help him.
Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up when she heard what Jia Ke said. What Jia Ke just said was what she had always thought, and it was even more thoughtful than she thought.
"Okay, my son, I read you right. I am relieved that you have this intention. I will let your second brother rest for the next few days and concentrate on recuperating at home. No matter what, I must let him take care of this."
I survived three games." Mrs. Wang is in high spirits now. She has even thought about Jia Zhu, the glory of being a high school student on the gold medal list.
When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Ke had agreed to help her with this matter, she didn't want to make things difficult for Aunt Zhou. She even said a few auspicious words before letting the mother and son leave.
Jia Ke took Aunt Zhou out of Mrs. Wang's yard and saw a soft sedan parked not far away. There were four strong women waiting beside the soft sedan.
Jia Ke led Aunt Zhou to the soft sedan chair. Aunt Zhou knew that she was meant to sit in the sedan chair, and she was at a loss for a moment.
Aunt Zhou has almost never left Rongguo Mansion in her life, and she has never done anything like carrying such a luxurious sedan, so she seems a little embarrassed now.
Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou to the soft sedan. The strong women quickly opened the curtain. Jia Ke personally helped Aunt Zhou sit inside. After arranging her, he lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.
Then he led the way, followed by the soft sedan chair, Xia Mai followed the curtain opening of the soft sedan chair, and the remaining three pretty maids followed the soft sedan chair towards the Wuyang Hou Mansion.
Jia Ke took Aunt Zhou through the Moon Gate and entered Wuyang Hou Mansion. There was already a large group of maids and women waiting here. They knew that Aunt Zhou was coming to live in Wuyang Hou Mansion, so they came to greet her.
Now Aunt Zhou's status in Wuyanghou Mansion is similar to Jia Mu's status in Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, a lot of maids and women got the news and came to curry favor with her.
So a large group of people came to Wuwei Hall, the main hall of Wuyang Hou Mansion, where Qin Keqing had already been waiting with a group of people. Although Aunt Zhou was not her serious mother-in-law, she was Jia Ke's biological mother.
With this status, no one in Wuyanghou Mansion dared to treat her lightly.
Aunt Zhou was in a trance in the sedan chair, as if she was in the clouds. When she came to a moon gate, she suddenly saw a group of maids and women kneeling on both sides of the road to greet her. She couldn't help but feel panic and fear in her heart.
There was a moment of secret joy.
She felt that she had a completely different status from Rongguo Mansion, one in heaven and one on earth. This gave her a personal understanding of a word, that is - mother is more valuable than son. In the past, although her status in Rongguo Mansion was somewhat different,
Improvement, but nothing compared to today.
Aunt Zhou came to a lobby under the gaze of everyone, and saw a bunch of people already standing in front of the lobby.
The leader was an extremely pretty little daughter-in-law, who else could it be if she wasn't Qin Keqing? Next to Qin Keqing stood three concubines in gorgeous clothes. Two of them were familiar to her, one was Chuncao who had been serving her since she was a child, and the other was Qin Keqing.
It was his niece Qiaolian, and she had seen the remaining one. This woman was only slightly less beautiful than Qin Keqing. It was the orchid fragrance that Jia Ke brought from Xuanfu Town.
