After Jia Zheng and others got up, Jia Yuanchun sat on the throne and said a few words of comfort to it. Jia Zheng and others also responded with a few words of service to the court, and then exited the main hall of the provincial villa one by one.
After Jia Zheng and others withdrew, Qin Keqing ordered the eunuch to summon Jia Mu and others to the palace for an audience.
Jia's mother had been waiting outside the hall for a long time. At this time, she received a message from the eunuch and took the high-ranking ladies of Jia's family to the main hall to pay homage to Jia Yuanchun.
At this time, Jia Yuanchun looked down and saw Jia's mother first, followed closely by a young lady she had never seen before. This person was wearing a marquise's makeup, which seemed to be Jia Ke's.
His wife, Qin Keqing, was there, followed by Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. And finally followed by a person who even surprised her, this person was Aunt Zhou.
Jia Yuanchun thought again at this time that it would be very easy to use Jia Ke's power to ask his biological mother for a higher rank. But in this way, the status of her mother, Mrs. Wang, was somewhat shaken. In addition, during this period, Mrs. Wang
When he went to the palace to visit her, he complained to her that everything in the palace was now handled by Wang Xifeng, making her, the head wife, just a decoration.
Based on what he saw today, Jia Yuanchun felt a little sad. His biological mother was under attack from above and below, and her life was a little difficult.
After Jia's mother and the ladies bowed to Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yuanchun quickly ordered the eunuchs to help them up. Then Jia Yuanchun said some extraneous words, and then they left.
All the formal rituals were completed here. Jia Yuanchun just sat in the main hall for a while, then got up and went to the side hall to change clothes again.
Then they left the main hall of the provincial relatives' villa, got on the car again outside the main hall, left the provincial relatives' villa, and headed to Jia Mu's courtyard.
When Jia Yuanchun came to Jia Mu's main room, Jia Mu and others had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When Jia Mu and others saw Jia Yuanchun coming, they quickly knelt down again.
This time, Jia Yuanchun didn't need anyone else. He quickly walked a few steps to Jia Mu and helped her up. Then he picked up Mrs. Wang who was behind Jia Mu. Then he said to the kneeling people: "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need for so many people."
Li, please get up quickly."
After Jia Yuanchun said this, he took Jia Mu with one hand and Mrs. Wang with the other and walked towards the main room. Everyone got up when they saw them entering the house and followed them into the main room.
When everyone entered Jia Mu's main courtyard, they saw Jia Mu, Jia Yuanchun and Mrs. Wang sitting on the bed holding hands and choking together. There were many things they wanted to say, but they couldn't.
Mrs. Xing, Qin Keqing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, etc. were all weeping and speechless, grieving with them.
Everyone cried together for a long time. In the end, Jia Yuanchun barely held back his sorrow and said with tears in his eyes: "Old lady, mother, don't cry anymore. We finally meet each other. We should be happy."
"What are you talking about while crying here?" As he spoke, he started crying again unconsciously.
At this time, Mrs. Xing hurriedly came forward to persuade her, and everyone gradually stopped crying.
Now it is everyone's turn to step forward and salute Jia Yuanchun one by one.
The first one is naturally Qin Keqing. She is the first wife Jia Yuanchun married after entering the palace. In addition, she is the eldest sister-in-law of Rongguo Mansion. She is the first in rank and name.
Qin Keqing came out of the class and came to Jia Yuanchun, bowed down and praised her: "My dear wife, I have been waiting for you to see my wife Jia Qin, who is a thousand years old."
When Jia Yuanchun saw it, he quickly ordered her to be lifted up, and then looked her up and down. Only then did he realize that this Qin Keqing was not ordinary beautiful. He had seen countless people in the palace, but these people were not as beautiful as Qin Keqing.
Much worse.
After Jia Yuanchun read it, he said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please get up quickly. I have heard of your name a long time ago. When I saw you today, it is indeed well-deserved."
Qin Keqing said a few polite words with a smile, and then stepped aside. Then Jia Yuanchun met Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun and others.
After meeting everyone, Jia Yuanchun sighed and said: "It's a pity that many relatives and relatives can't meet each other!"
At this time, Mrs. Wang listened to this and rolled her eyes. She thought it would be better to introduce Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to Jia Yuanchun to see what Jia Yuanchun thought of Xue Baochai. If Jia Yuanchun liked Xue Baochai, he might be able to introduce Lin Daiyu
This marriage was postponed.
Even now, Mrs. Wang still can't let go of the marriage between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang took a step forward and said: "Now our foreign relatives Xue Wang, Baochai, and Daiyu are waiting for orders outside. The family members have no jobs and dare not enter without permission."
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Jia Yuanchun understood what Mrs. Wang meant. Mrs. Wang often told her about the two sisters when she went to the palace in the past. She also knew from Mrs. Wang that Baoyu was engaged to Daiyu. But Mrs. Wang seemed to
Somewhat reluctantly, I let Baochai and Daiyu come in now, probably because he wanted to suppress Lin Daiyu.
Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun felt very helpless. When he was in the palace, he fought with each other every day. He didn't expect that he would not be able to escape this trick when he returned home. But Mrs. Wang is her biological mother after all, and he cannot take away her face.
So he had no choice but to say: "Since he is a relative of his, please come and meet him."
After Jia Yuanchun passed the words, he sat in the middle and remained silent. Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter who was not speaking, with a gloomy look on her face, and she began to feel uneasy. You must know that Mrs. Wang is the only one she can rely on in the Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Yuanchun is the only one. Although her brother Wang Ziteng is now a high-ranking official, there is still a big gap compared to Jia Ke, and he is not enough to defend himself.
Soon Aunt Xue took Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu into Jia Mu's main room. As soon as she saw Jia Yuanchun, she wanted to pay homage with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
Jia Yuanchun hurriedly asked them to avoid the ceremony, so the family sat around Jia's mother's room and began to express some feelings of separation. The parents in the family were short-tempered.
For a while, Jia Yuanchun watched Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu carefully. He saw that they both had their own merits and were both rare beauties. However, Xue Baochai looked even more unexpected. She was a good candidate to be the wife of the house. Lin Daiyu seemed much nobler, and
He has some physical deficiencies and may not be able to take care of the housework for Jia Baoyu in the future.
Either of these two people is worthy of Baoyu, but Jia Yuanchun is now more inclined to Lin Daiyu. If the Jia family declined in Dream of Red Mansions, Xue Baochai would naturally be the best candidate. But now Rongguo Mansion is at its peak, and Rongguo Mansion is in its prime.
There is still Jia Zhu in the palace, and I am afraid that Jia Baoyu will not be the head of the house in the future. In this case, it is better to allocate Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu, so that there will be no brothers fighting against each other and civil strife in the Jia family.
If you marry Xue Baochai, if she has a competitive temperament and fights for power at home with Jia Zhu's wife Li Zhi, I am afraid that Li Zhi will not be a match for Xue Baochai, who is experienced in accidents, and there will be civil strife in the family.
Besides, this matter was decided by her father Jia Zheng and Jia's mother. If she overturned their decision and supported Mrs. Wang, even if Mrs. Wang could succeed for a while, she would probably offend Jia Zheng and Jia's mother in the future. Mrs. Wang would be in trouble in the future.
Life in Rongguofu was even more difficult.
After Jia Yuanchun figured it out, he smiled and called Lin Daiyu to his side, took her hand and asked her to sit next to him, "Sister Daiyu, from now on Baoyu will be taken care of by you. Sister, I'm asking you to take care of me here."
"
When Lin Daiyu heard what Jia Yuanchun said, her face turned red with embarrassment and she lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.
Jia Yuanchun saw that Lin Daiyu was too shy to raise her head, so he smiled softly, then took off a string of dongzhu beads from his wrist and brought it to Lin Daiyu himself. This was the first time he saw her as an elder sister.
The gift given to her by her future sister-in-law can also be regarded as Jia Yuanchun's approval of the marriage as the empress.
When Mrs. Wang saw this happening from the side, her face darkened. She never thought that Jia Yuanchun would recognize Lin Daiyu in public. With Jia Yuanchun's current status, he actually recognized Lin Daiyu as his sister-in-law. I'm afraid he won't be able to regret it in the future.
.
Aunt Xue had discussed it with Mrs. Wang in advance, hoping that if Jia Yuanchun did not agree to the marriage, she could overturn Jia Zheng's decision. I never expected that Jia Yuanchun would be so happy.
They admitted Lin Daiyu. But what will happen to their Baochai?
While they were worrying like this, Xue Baochai stood aside without any change in her face. In fact, she was really relieved now. For Xue Baochai, who was as ambitious as the sky, how could the cowardly and incompetent Jia Baoyu be worthy of her?
.Xue Baochai now only regards people like Jia Ke as young talents, but there are only a few people in the world who have become a minister at such a young age like Jia Ke. It is a pity that Xue Baochai can no longer tolerate others in his eyes. As for Jia Ke
Now that they were married, they even had several concubines, but Xue Baochai didn't take it to heart.
In Xue Baochai's heart, she has only one opponent, and that is Qin Keqing. Even if she cannot correct herself in the future, as in the case of Aunt Zhou, the final result will be ten times better than marrying Jia Baoyu. At least Aunt Zhou is still a classy pregnant woman, and
In the end, Jia Baoyu's wife was probably just an ordinary woman without class.
When Jia Yuanchun was talking to Lin Daiyu above, her eyes would drift to Xue Baochai from time to time. When she saw that Xue Baochai still had a calm expression at this time, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. This Xue Baochai's scheming is really extraordinary. She is so old.
At that time, I was afraid that I would have been ashamed when I encountered this situation of being rejected in public. However, Xue Baochai was able to remain calm, which further strengthened Jia Yuanchun's mind.
In Jia Yuanchun's heart, Jia Baoyu was an innocent and kind-hearted boy. If he married someone like Xue Baochai, he would probably be played around with for the rest of his life.
Jia Yuanchun suddenly remembered that he had not seen Jia Baoyu yet, so he quickly asked: "Why not see Baoyu?"
This is when Jia's mother stood up from her seat, bowed and said to Jia Yuanchun: "My husband has no job, so I don't dare to come in."
With a smile in his eyes, Jia Yuanchun urged, "Baoyu is different from others. Come and see me quickly."
