When everyone saw the sedan coming, they rushed up. Jia Ke personally helped Aunt Zhou out of the sedan. Aunt Zhou walked a few steps to Qin Keqing's side as soon as she got off the sedan. She took Qin Keqing's hand and said complainingly: "They can just come.
Why are you here? If someone bumps into me, who should I go to?"
Qin Keqing felt very comfortable with Aunt Zhou's concern, but she still said to Aunt Zhou with a smile: "What did Auntie say? It was you who gave birth to your husband. If I don't come to greet you, I won't be struck by lightning."
"
"Bah, bah, bah, shut up. Don't say such depressing words. After all, you are still pregnant with the child. What if it comes true?" Aunt Zhou quickly interrupted his words, then clasped her hands and prayed to the sky.
: "God, my wife just talked nonsense. Don't take it seriously. If you take it seriously, it should be on me. Don't cause trouble for my grandson and my wife."
After Aunt Zhou prayed, Jia Ke stepped forward to help her and brought her into the Wuwei Hall, the main hall of Wuyang Hou Mansion. After entering the main hall, Jia Ke asked Aunt Zhou to sit upright in the middle.
Aunt Zhou still feels a little awkward. Although she is sitting in the middle, she feels uncomfortable all over. You must know that when she was in Rongguo Mansion, she always stood on the side. She has never been sitting in the middle like this.
.This sudden change made her feel a little uncomfortable.
When Jia Ke saw Aunt Zhou sitting upright in the middle, he took Qin Keqing and three concubines and knelt down together in the lobby to kowtow to Aunt Zhou. This was the first time in so many years that Jia Ke was serious about the eight classics.
to salute Aunt Zhou. And the place for kowtowing is also very different. This is the most important Wuwei Hall in Wuyanghou Mansion. Now Jia Ke kowtows here, just like everyone in Wuyanghou Mansion explains, Aunt Zhou is the most important person in Wuyanghou Mansion.
noble person.
This time Jia Ke kowtows to Aunt Zhou, which is something he has thought about for a long time. After all, for so many years, he has not bowed to Aunt Zhou in an upright and upright manner. This makes Jia Ke, as a son, always feel guilty, so he
Decided to make up for Aunt Zhou today.
Aunt Zhou sat on top and watched her son and daughter-in-law kowtow to her, and the ceremony was a grand gift for her mother. She couldn't sit still. When she got up, she came below to help Jia Ke up.
Jia Ke quickly got up and helped Aunt Zhou to sit on it again, and then said to her: "Auntie, from now on you will be like an old lady in Wuyang Marquis Mansion. We all have to respect you. Today I will ask my son to
You salute me in return for the kindness you have given me in raising my son over the years."
"It can't be like this. Who am I? Wouldn't this shorten my life? Besides, if your father knew about this, why wouldn't he kill you?" Aunt Zhou used to be just an unpopular concubine in Jia Zheng's house, because
His son Jia Ke's career status has improved, but he is still from the lowest level. Where has he seen such a pomp?
Jia Ke pretended to be unhappy and said: "Auntie, please don't say such things. You are the mother of my Jia Ke. When you come to my house, you will naturally be the old lady. How can others say anything?"
Say? What can my father do to me if he knows about it?" When Jia Ke said this, he was quite proud. With his current status, as long as he doesn't do anything unforgivable, even the entire Jia family will have to do it.
Tolerate him.
Qin Keqing also came to the other side of Aunt Zhou at this time, took her hand and whispered persuasion: "Auntie, you have only returned to your own home when you come to our place. Naturally, you can do whatever you want in your own home. Others can
Can you tell me what's wrong?"
When Aunt Zhou heard Qin Keqing say that this was her home, she couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in her heart. Although she was living a pretty good life in Rongguo Mansion because of Jia Ke, she didn't dare to make any mistakes and was always careful.
, she was afraid that the master above would blame him for something. Now when Qin Keqing said this, she seemed to have realized something, and she felt relaxed all over her body. Only then did she realize that she had left Rongguo Mansion, and here was
In Wuyang Hou Mansion, her son has the final say in everything.
Qin Keqing's face seemed to relax when he saw Aunt Zhou, and he immediately helped her to the big chair in the middle. Jia Ke took Qin Keqing and three concubines and knelt down on the ground again, paying homage to Aunt Zhou. At this time,
The maids, women, and various servants in Wuwei Hall all knelt down to Aunt Zhou. This time, there was a large area of people kneeling. Aunt Zhou was sitting in the middle, and all she could see in Wuwei Hall were their heads. Although
I felt a little uneasy, but seeing these people kneeling at my feet, I couldn't help but feel proud.
Aunt Zhou was sitting in the middle this time, looking at Jia Ke, Qin Keqing and others who were kneeling below. She suddenly felt that her life was worth it. She was just born into a family. She never thought that one day she would be blessed.
Treated like an old lady.
Jia Ke and Qin Keqing waited below to salute, then stood up and gathered around Aunt Zhou again. Qin Keqing asked Lan Xiang next to her: "Has the yard that the uncle ordered to prepare for Aunt Zhou been tidied up?" Qin Keqing has not been here for a while.
As for the matters in Wuyanghou's house, she can raise her child peacefully in her own courtyard every day. Except for major family matters, Lanxiang usually handles these matters.
"Don't worry, grandma, she has already sorted it out. She has also given her four eldest maids and seven or eight little maids to my aunt. There are also more than a dozen mother-in-laws." Lan Xiang always speaks softly and smiles before she speaks.
Aunt Zhou has a good impression of Lan Xiang, Jia Ke's concubine, because she always does not smile or speak, and is neat and considerate in everything she does. Although she doesn't want to admit it, she has to say that compared to Qiao Lian and Chuncao who came out around her, she is
There's no comparison.
"Auntie, since the house has been arranged, let's go and see if there is anything that doesn't suit your liking, and I'll have someone change it." Jia Ke stood aside and said to Aunt Zhou.
What else did Aunt Zhou have to say? She had no choice but to agree, so everyone walked together to the west of Wuwei Hall.
Aunt Zhou stopped after taking only a few steps and said to Qin Keqing, who was supporting her next to her: "They are right here. Don't join in the fun and go back to rest. Otherwise, what should I do if I get fetal gas?"
How could Qin Keqing agree to such a thing? It was the first time that Jia Ke's aunt came to the house. How could she not accompany her throughout the whole process, so she kept refusing.
Aunt Zhou was really worried about Qin Keqing and her unborn child. Seeing her constant refusal, she became a little anxious and scolded Jia Ke next to her: "You are a dead person. I didn't see that your wife is still pregnant. How can you survive this?"
Since she is running around like this, why don't you send a message quickly to let her go back and rest."
Jia Ke quickly followed Aunt Zhou's words and said, "Ke Qing, please go back and rest as soon as possible. I am here to accompany Auntie. We all live in the same room anyway. It won't be too late for you to go see Auntie after a while."
"
Qin Keqing saw that Jia Ke had already spoken, so he could only say a blessing to Aunt Zhou, and took a few maids and nannies around him to step aside on the road, letting Aunt Zhou go first. Until Aunt Zhou turned around the rockery, she had disappeared.
The figure then returned to his room.
Besides, Jia Ke supported Aunt Zhou, walked through the verandah, passed a moon gate, and came to a wide courtyard. The layout of this courtyard is very similar to that of Jia Mu. In Wuyang Hou Mansion, there is a large courtyard.
Separate courtyard.
Everyone came to the hanging flower gate in front of the courtyard. Lan Xiang hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the front of the courtyard, and shouted to the people inside: "Hurry up and greet her, the old lady is here."
After this shouting, a large number of people came out of the courtyard in a short time, kneeling on both sides of the road to salute Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou has seen such a scene once, and now she is not as panicked as she was the first time. She forced herself to remain calm, and with Jia Ke's help, she entered the hanging flower door. After entering the hanging flower door, there was a large screen wall, bypassing the screen wall,
Along the dripping verandahs on both sides, walking further forward is the cross hall. After passing the cross hall, it is the formal inner courtyard.
There are three small halls in the courtyard. Going forward after passing this small hall is the real main hall of the inner room. As Aunt Zhou walked along, she saw flowers all around and various buildings carefully carved. It was really beautiful.
.The layout of the building is almost the same as Jia Mu's, and the architectural carvings are even better than Jia Mu's.
The further Aunt Zhou walked, the more uneasy she felt. When she reached the main hall, she no longer dared to go inside. Instead, she asked Jia Ke a little awkwardly: "Son, is this really a place where I can live?"
"Of course it's a place where my aunt can live. In my mansion, my aunt is the most precious old lady, which is different from the one in the mansion next door." Jia Ke said to her comfortingly.
"Aunt, you are right. Who is more honorable than you here, and who dares to say otherwise? You must know that this is the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, not the Rongguo Mansion." Qiaolian interjected at this time.
Qiaolian has been much more active since Qin Keqing didn't come with her. Qiaolian is very afraid of Qin Keqing. Although Qin Keqing is kind to everyone and takes great care of their concubines in terms of food and clothing, which is better than Rong next to her.
The government was several times stronger, but because of her status, she unconsciously felt afraid of Qin Keqing.
Jia Ke felt that what Qiao Lian said was a bit too much. If it were heard by people in the Rongguo Mansion and reached the ears of Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, Jia Ke would have to deal with Qiao Lian if the two of them said a word.
So he turned around and scolded Qiaolian: "Shut up, there is no place for you to talk here. Why don't you retreat?"
Qiao Lian actually regretted what she said just now. She was just complacent for a moment. Now that she heard Jia Ke reprimanding her, she quickly stepped back and did not dare to speak anymore.
Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou into the main hall. In the center was mahogany carved furniture. On the wall was a picture of longevity, and on both sides hung a pair of couplets: The first couplet is: Enjoy a long life and live longer than the pine trees in the south. The second couplet is: Enjoy the prosperous age.
Blessings are like the ever-flowing waters of the East Sea.
Then turn left and enter a Bisha kitchen. There is a hot bed by the window in this room. There are mats made of animal skins on the hot bed and a beautifully carved small table, which is used for temporary living.
Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou to sit down on the kang, and then sat down opposite her. Aunt Zhou's former maid Xia Mai and others quickly came to stand around Aunt Zhou.
