Jia's mother was sitting there peacefully, but when she heard Wang Xifeng complaining, she smiled and scolded her: "This Feng Lazi didn't do things well for himself, but instead complained about me. Let's see how I deal with you in the future." Then she smiled and scolded her.
He said to the mandarin duck next to him: "Quickly pull her tongue and see if she dares to talk about me again."
Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Jia Mu: "Old lady, please spare me this time, I won't dare to do it again."
Only then did Jia Mu let her go with a smile.
As a result, the servants of Feng Ziying's family hadn't left yet, and someone else came to give gifts.
Zhang Chaoxin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the censor of the right capital, Tian Hui, the young minister of the Taichang, Chen Zuoliang, the young minister of the Taichang, Peng Bi, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Xie Xiang, the censor of the left capital. These buddies of Jia Ke heard that Jia Ke brought the old lady to the Qing Dynasty.
Xu Guan sent people to deliver gifts.
In addition to them, there were also some unnamed petty officials who came to join in the fun and come to give gifts. Some of them even waited at the door in person, wanting to see Jia Ke.
Only then did Jia Mu regret it and said, "It's not a serious fasting thing. We were just strolling around, so we didn't disturb anyone."
After he finished, he complained to Jia Ke: "It's because you came here and caused too much trouble, so we don't have time to relax."
Jia Ke was also a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect that just a normal visit to the temple fair could develop into this. He now admires the sensitive ears and eyes of these officials. He didn't expect that these people would know that he was coming as soon as he arrived at Qingxu Temple.
Jia Ke had no choice but to tell Liu Yu, "Go and tell the officials waiting outside that we are just hanging out with the female family members at home and it is not convenient to meet. If they have anything to do, please come to the Yamen to talk."
After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Liu Yu did not dare to neglect, and led a few people to the door of Qingxu Temple.
When he came outside the door, he was also startled. He saw a sea of people here, either luxuriously dressed servants or officials in official uniforms.
And Jia Ke's personal soldiers, as well as the people from the infantry commanding the Yamen, blocked the entrance of Qingxuguan, preventing them from entering. Otherwise, these people would have broken in anyway.
These people stood there noisily wanting to see Jia Ke, but they were blocked by the soldiers, no matter what nice words they said, they could not enter the Qingxu Temple.
Liu Yu quickly stepped forward and raised his hands to these people and said: "Everyone, don't make any noise, just listen to me."
Liu Yu shouted there several times, and then they gradually became quiet.
Liu Yu couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat. These people really worked hard for official positions.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Yu once again raised his hands to them and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, our uncle has spoken. Today I just accompany the female family members of the mansion to hang out at Qingxu Temple and do not deal with official business. If there is anything, I will arrive tomorrow.
Let’s talk to the Yamen.”
When everyone heard what Liu Yu said, they immediately started making noise again. Everyone finally took this opportunity to give gifts to Jia Ke and curry favor with this powerful man. Let everyone go now. How can these people be willing, especially those who serve Jia Ke?
If the servants who were ordered by their master to deliver gifts did not deliver the gifts to Jia Ke, how would they explain to their master when they return?
So these people came to Qingxu Guan, hoping to break through the blockade and enter Qingxu Guan to meet Jia Ke.
But Liu Yu didn't care about this and immediately ordered people to block these people. They must not be allowed to enter Qingxu Temple and disturb the uncle's tranquility.
These people were making trouble outside for a while, and when they saw that they really couldn't break in, and Jia Ke didn't want to see them, they left angrily.
Liu Yujian and others were relieved when they left. They did not expect that these people in the officialdom would be so crazy just to see Jia Ke.
But it is natural for Liu Yu to think about it now. Xiang Jia Ke is now in charge of the government and holds their lifeblood. All their opportunities for promotion and wealth are in Jia Ke's hands. How can he not try his best to fawn over him?
After Liu Yu saw these people leaving, he re-entered Qingxu Temple and reached the main building. After seeing Jia Ke, he reported back to him: "Uncle, those people have left."
Jia Ke sat there watching the show with the old lady, nodded gently, and then waved to Liu Yu to let him go.
Sitting in the middle, Jia's mother squinted and saw Liu Yu retreating from the main building, and then asked Jia Ke: "Send all those people away."
When Jia Ke heard Jia Mu's question, he quickly stood up and came to her side. He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Reply to the old lady, my grandson has sent all those people outside, and no one is bothering the old lady now."
Feeling refreshed."
Jia Mu said while watching the play: "How can I have any pleasure now? It's just a temple fair and it disturbs so many adults and relatives. This is really too much. Just go back in the afternoon. There is no need to stay any longer. Otherwise
I don’t know how many people will come tomorrow after getting the news.”
Jia Ke thought for a moment that it was indeed the case, then turned around to discuss with Wang Xifeng, "Second daughter-in-law Lian, you heard what the old lady said, what do you think?"
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I am just a business person, and it is the old lady who makes the decision. Since the old lady wants to go back, I will make arrangements now."
After Wang Xifeng said this, she bowed to Jia Ke and Jia Mu and went downstairs.
Mother Jia watched Wang Xifeng go downstairs, waved to Jia Ke, and brought him to her side.
Jia Ke stood beside Jia Mu and listened respectfully to her scolding.
Jia Mu sat there and pondered for a while, thinking about how to tell him, but finally she said helplessly: "I have something to tell you. Don't refuse after listening to it."
Jia Ke hurriedly said: "If you have anything to do, just say it. As long as I can do it, I don't dare to refuse the old lady."
After hearing what he said, Mother Jia didn't show any happy expression. She took out a golden unicorn from her sleeve and handed it to Jia Ke, "Take that thing. It can be regarded as a token."
Jia Ke took the golden unicorn and thought about the scene in Dream of Red Mansions, then he knew what the golden unicorn was about.
He just thought about how the golden unicorn was originally obtained by Jia Baoyu, but now it was given to him by Jia Mu.
After Jia Ke took the golden unicorn, he looked at Jia Mu in confusion, wondering what she meant.
Jia's mother saw Jia Ke's doubts and said, "This golden unicorn is a token given to you by a girl's family. I have agreed to this for you."
Jia Ke was not angry because of this. In ancient times, this kind of thing happened to almost every wealthy family.
But Jia Ke said doubtfully: "Old lady, I already have a wife. Who is willing to send their daughter to our house to be an ordinary concubine?"
When Jia Ke wanted to come to this family's house, he probably took a fancy to his own power and wanted to follow the dragon and the phoenix.
After hearing Jia Ke's question, Jia's mother pondered for a moment and decided to tell him the truth: "This golden unicorn was sent by my mother's family. I'm afraid your two uncles want to get married in our family."
In Jia Ke's impression, Shi Xiangyun is probably still thinking about Jia Baoyu. How could he agree to marry an old man like him as a concubine so easily?
Jia Ke couldn't help but complain: "I'm not telling you, old lady, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to do. I've seen Sister Shi too. She is indeed smart and chivalrous. She is so arrogant.
How can someone be a concubine?"
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia Mu said to him: "Don't worry about this. Just stay at home and wait to marry a beautiful girl. The two princes of the Shi family will do it for you."
.”
Jia Ke still couldn't accept it, "Old lady, I think it's better to forget about this matter. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't even be able to be relatives in the end."
Seeing Jia Ke's refusal, Mother Jia immediately darkened her face and said, "Do you even want to disrespect me?"
In this feudal dynasty where filial piety governs the world, how dare Jia Ke be disrespectful of Jia Mu's orders. He quickly knelt down on the ground, clasped his fists upward and said, "How dare you, grandson, refute what the old lady said? Listen to everything."
The old lady ordered."
Mother Jia felt relieved when she saw Jia Ke kneeling down to apologize to her. She immediately softened her face and said to Jia Ke in a gentle tone: "To tell you the truth. I didn't want to agree to this marriage at first, but it's just Taoist Zhang."
I came to ask for my hand in marriage, so I had to force myself."
Jia Ke said in confusion: "Old lady, what is the origin of this Taoist portrait? You actually care about him so much."
"It's not that I care about him, it's just that he did a big thing for our Jia family back then, and I promised to do three things for him. He used this reason to talk to me today, so I had to agree." Jia's mother said.
Speaking of this, I felt a little emotional. It was the Jia family who took advantage of this matter.
Jia Ke saw that Jia Mu only said this and did not continue to explain to him, so he stopped asking.
At this time, Wang Xifeng came up from downstairs. Seeing Jia Mu and Jia Ke talking there, she stepped closer from a distance.
"Old lady, I have taken care of things for you. I will make sure it is done properly this time. We will be able to set off soon." Wang Xifeng said loudly as she walked this way.
When Jia Mu saw Wang Xifeng coming, she stopped talking, raised her head and said to her: "You just did something and you come to me to ask for credit. Are you ashamed?"
Behind Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing also came. After Jia Ke saw Qin Keqing, he couldn't help but feel a little unnatural on his face, thinking about the marriage that Jia Mu had just told him.
Jia's mother noticed Jia Ke's discomfort, so she said to him, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter naturally. I will ensure that your family will be harmonious and there will be no trouble."
Jia Ke felt relieved. In fact, Jia Ke didn't feel it himself. He was actually a little afraid of Qin Keqing. Just because Qin Keqing was so beautiful, Jia Ke couldn't help but let her go when he was with her. As time went by,
, this habit has made Jia Ke a little bit unable to let go.
After a while, the three plays were finished, and everyone left the Qingxu Temple together without intending to stay any longer. Surrounded by everyone, Jia Mu got on the eight-carriage sedan again. Then she returned to the Rongguo Mansion in a grand manner.
After everyone returned to Daorongguo Mansion, they gathered at Jia Mu's place for a while, and then dispersed.
