However, he said that in the following time, neither the emperor nor Jia Ke made any rash moves. The two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and would not undermine each other.
But Jia Ke knew that the emperor was smarter now than before. He knew how to be forbearing and was not as eager for quick success and quick gain as before to get rid of his powerful minister, so now it seemed that Jia Ke still made the decision in the court.
But Jia Ke knew that the current situation was more dangerous than before. Now Jia Ke not only had to fight with the emperor, but also had to guard against the emperor suddenly attacking him from behind.
Therefore, during this period of time, Jia Ke did not seek merit but sought fault, and defended with all his strength. He no longer fought against the emperor.
On this day, Jia Ke had just returned from the office when he saw a plainly dressed old lady going out. Jia Ke knew this person. She was Jia Dairu's wife. In terms of seniority, she could be considered Jia Ke's.
Jia Dairu was an uncle and grandma, and she was not considered an outsider, but also half of Jia Ke's enlightenment mentor. She was seen holding a box in her hand and left in a hurry without noticing Jia Ke.
Jia Ke returned to the inner house and Qin Keqing was there, playing with Jia Zhi in his arms. Jia Zhi could speak very smoothly now. He was very happy to see Jia Ke, shouted Daddy, and reached out for Jia Ke to hug him. Jia Ke casually followed him.
Qin Keqing took the child in her arms and asked her, "I saw my great-uncle coming to our place just now. What should I do?"
Qin Keqing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the great-uncle he was talking about was Jia Dairu's wife, and said casually: "I heard that her grandson Jia Rui is dying of illness and needs Dushen Decoction to survive. There is no other place to go."
She found it, so she came to beg me, so I gave her one, which at least saved a life."
Qin Keqing gave up her porridge everywhere, and after she got pregnant with Jia Zhi by chance, she became more and more interested in doing good deeds. As long as people in the clan were in need, she would do her best to help. This is how Jia Ke made countless income every year.
, if others really can't afford to support her.
After listening to Qin Keqing's answer, Jia Ke guessed what was going on. During this period of time, Jia Lian was away, and Wang Xifeng was playing more and more excessively. He also did not shy away from being suspicious of Jia Rong and Jia Qiang. If this continues, sooner or later there will be
Rumors spread.
The Jia Mansion now is different from the past. As long as there are any rumors, I am afraid that no matter how much Jia Mu likes Wang Xifeng, she will eventually have to send her back to the palace.
"You won't have any contact with that Wang Xifeng in the future?" Jia Ke didn't want Qin Keqing to be exposed to any dirty words because of her frequent contacts with Wang Xifeng.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? I'm bored alone in our house, and she is the only one who can talk to me. Why are we about to break it off now?" Qin Keqing knew that since Jia Ke said it
There must be a reason for this, so he asked.
"You don't need to know these dirty things, just remember to have less contact with her in the future."
Seeing Jia Ke's attitude, Qin Keqing knew that Wang Xifeng must have done something inappropriate, so he stopped asking.
Jia Ke next went to Qiaolian's room to take a look before eating. After all, she was pregnant now, so Jia Ke would always go to her room to take a look no matter how busy he was with official duties.
After Jia Ke went out, Qin Keqing felt that something was wrong. Jia Ke never asked about such trivial matters at home, so why did he suddenly say these things to her today.
Qin Keqing showed a color to Ruizhu next to him, and Ruizhu immediately understood.
Then Ruizhu carefully exited the room. She didn't go anywhere else, and went directly to Aunt Zhou in Rongguo Mansion next door. Ruizhu was really not good at asking for these gossips. And Xia beside Aunt Zhou
Mai is an expert.
Ruizhu came to Aunt Zhou's courtyard and entered the courtyard gate. She saw Xia Mai directing several maids to clean the courtyard.
As soon as Ruizhu entered the courtyard, Xia Mai glanced at her and asked, "Why do you have time to come to our place? Does grandma have something to say to my aunt?"
"It's okay. If I'm bored and want to talk to you, you know that there is no one in our house that I can talk to. Only you can I say a few words."
Xia Mai was very happy after hearing this and immediately brought Ruizhu close to his room.
Ruizhu came to Xia Mai's room and sat down directly on the bed.
"I asked you what gossip you have recently. Please tell me. I have no one to talk to over there and I am almost bored to death." Ruizhu asked Xia Mai intentionally or unintentionally after sitting down.
Xia Mai likes to tell Ruizhu about the gossip in the mansion. When she hears Ruizhu's inquiry, it plays into her hands. Then she babbles and tells Ruizhu the latest information about the mansion in detail, and also tells Ruizhu about it.
Zhu was beaming with joy as she narrated, not to mention how happy she felt.
Ruizhu now understood the cause and effect clearly. At the same time, she was very frightened by Wang Xifeng's boldness. What would happen if the gossip spread to their grandmother?
After Jia Ke went to the office the next day, Ruizhu quietly came to Qin Keqing's room, then looked at Qin Keqing with a red face, not knowing what to say.
Qin Keqing knew from the look on her face that she had already inquired about the news, "If there's anything you can't say, just say it quickly, I'm still busy."
"Miss, it's not that I won't say it, it's really hard to say it." Ruizhu didn't know what to say, so she had to say hello to Qin Keqing first.
Qin Keqing glanced at Ruizhu directly, and then acted as if he was leaving. Feeding Pig quickly stopped Qin Keqing and helped him back to the soft couch.
"Miss, you don't know what the rumors are out there. They say that Uncle Rui was kidnapped by a ghost. A few days ago, a Taoist priest was invited to exorcise the evil spirits. I don't know if it can work." Ruizhu said in a serious tone.
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to hear this. What does it have to do with Second Mistress Lian?" Qin Keqing said somewhat unhappy.
"Miss, I heard that the reason why Uncle Rui was taken away by ghosts was because he was lovesick and his soul was unstable."
"It's getting more and more nonsense."
"It's true, miss. I heard from their maid that Uncle Rui often calls out the name of Mistress Lian when he's in a coma."
Qin Keqing was shocked when she heard this. This kind of thing is easy to say but not easy to hear. Even though you are a chaste and fierce woman, you are also afraid of these rumors. What's more, Wang Xifeng has always been shrewd. No wonder these words are found on her.
Qin Keqing originally wanted to listen to Jia Ke and stop caring about Wang Xifeng's affairs, but thinking that the relationship between the two of them during this period was simply better than that of biological sisters, if she didn't remind her this time, she would definitely be troubled when Jia Lian came back.
I will settle the score with her.
She had just given birth to her eldest son, only a few months ago. If such words were spread at this time, she would not be able to survive.
So he immediately tidied up his clothes, took a dozen maids and servants, and walked through the Moon Gate to Wang Xifeng's residence in Rongguo Mansion.
Wang Xifeng is now the de facto housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion and lives in a small courtyard on the central axis of the back hall of Rongxi Hall. Their courtyard was arranged by Jia's mother herself. I don't know if Jia's mother intended to arrange it this way. This makes everyone
It seems that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng also live in Rongxi Hall.
Qin Keqing came to the courtyard where Wang Xifeng lived. As soon as she entered the door, she was discovered by her personal maid Ping'er.
"Grandma, what brought you here to us?" Ping'er and Qin Keqing were already familiar with each other, so it was a bit casual to talk to her.
Qin Keqing did not answer him, but just asked: "Is your master here? I have something to say to her."
Ping'er is such a smart person. As soon as he heard Qin Keqing's words, he understood that Qin Keqing had something going on this time, and I'm afraid it wasn't a good thing.
While they were talking, Wang Xifeng's voice came from inside the room, "Is this the sister-in-law here? Come in and sit down."
Qin Keqing then went directly into Wang Xifeng's room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wang Xifeng lying on the bed, his face a little pale.
Please take a few steps forward, sit by the bed and hold Wang Xifeng's hand, "What's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a day or two, why are you so sick?"
At this time, Ping'er came in with a tea bowl, and while serving tea to Qin Keqing, he said unhappily: "It's not like those old ladies in the house are just talking. Let our grandma hear how strong our grandma is, and she suddenly
Let them be knocked down."
Wang Xifeng, who was on the bed, said helplessly: "These rumors are the most murderous. I am a good person, and I have never missed a step on my errands, yet people come to my door."
The way Qin Keqing looked at her was really pitiful. It seemed that she already knew the rumors and didn't need to remind her. So the two chatted for a few more words, and Qin Keqing said goodbye and left.
On the way back, Qin Keqing looked at the scenery of Jia's house and listened to Ruizhu chattering about the gossip of Jia's house.
"Miss, you don't know how kind Miss Xue is, and she has never looked down upon us servants."
"Nothing like that Miss Lin, her arrogant eyes are in the sky. She is just eating and drinking at our house for free. There is nothing to be arrogant about."
Qin Keqing was shocked when she heard these words. These words were not something that a maid could say, and it seemed that this situation had been spread throughout the mansion, otherwise it would not have been possible for Ruizhu in Wuyang Marquis Mansion to know about it.
However, this is all the matter of Rongguo Mansion, so it is better not to interfere. I think Jia Mu should be aware of all this.
Let’s not say that they have family problems here, just that in the military aircraft department, Jia Ke is now isolated again. Mr. Meng Ming, under the hint of the Supreme Emperor, also begins to alienate Jia Ke.
Several other military aircraft ministers began to be less respectful to Jia Ke than before, just because it was now rumored in the court that the Supreme Emperor was planning to let Jia Ke, the head minister of the military aircraft department, step down and then use him in another important position.
Jia Ke seemed not to have heard these things. He was now focused on the exchange of generals from various places. Every time the generals came to Beijing to report on their duties, he would personally receive them.
The emperor was also fully aware of Jia Ke's actions, but did not interfere too much because Jia Ke met these people in public.
And these generals will go to the emperor after Jia Ke receives them, and the emperor will reward them generously. Therefore, the emperor does not think that these generals will seek refuge with Jia Ke, but he does not know that some things in the world cannot be judged from common sense.
