After hearing Shi Nai's confession to her, Jia Mu couldn't help but shed tears again. She only knew that her two nephews were having a hard time, but she didn't expect that it had reached this point. If she had known earlier, she would have lowered her head and would never let her nephews
They took away the only treasure left by her brother.
Moreover, this incident could have been avoided, but now this treasure fell into the hands of Taoist Zhang for no reason.
Even if you want to regret it now, it's too late. Besides, the Jia family can't do such a thing.
And Jia's mother thought about this treasure that her brother worked so hard to get, and the pain in her heart disappeared for no reason. Others couldn't understand, so he was in tears now.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Mu shedding tears again, he quickly advised her: "Mom, please stop doing this. If you cry, how can we, the younger generation, feel at ease?"
Yuanyang, who was standing next to Jia Mu, quickly gave Jia Mu a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from Jia Mu's eyes.
After Jia Mu stopped crying, she said to Jia Zheng next to her: "Take time to talk to your elder brother. We are all relatives. If you can help, please help."
Jia Zheng stood up quickly, raised his hands and said to Jia Mu: "Don't worry, mother, I will talk to my eldest brother when I get back. At least I can get a real job for my brother."
When Jia Mu heard what Jia Zheng said, she felt relieved. She turned around and said to Shi Nai: "Now that you are here, everything in the past has disappeared. As for the Xiangyun matter, you can think about it again. Even if you marry
It doesn't mean she has been wronged by being given to our eldest brother, but she is a concubine after all. It's easy to say whether it's nice or not."
Shi Nai saw that Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion were so prosperous, how could he let go of this opportunity? Otherwise, Jia Ke would have assigned him a position this time, and this would be the end of the relationship if the relationship faded.
So Shi Nai hurriedly said: "Aunt, you can't be like this. Now that the two families have settled, how can we go back on it? Besides, the four major families have been intermarrying for a long time. To put it bluntly, now our Shi family and Jia family only have old ladies.
I’ve made contact, what should I do when I arrive?”
After hearing what Shi Nai said, Jia Mu felt that it was what he said from the bottom of his heart. In fact, Jia Mu was also a little worried. Among the four major families, the Jia and Wang families are now developing the smoothest.
Moreover, these two families have the closest relationship. Although the Xue family does not develop well, they are willing to put down their shame and rely on the big tree of the Jia family, which can be regarded as a settlement.
Only the two nephews from my mother's family were both marquises and had some respect, so they didn't ask Jia Ke for anything during this time.
It's okay to have him for one day, but after a while, if he is gone one day, the Shi family will probably be excluded from the four major families. By then, they will be in decline. How can this make Jia Mu not worry?
Woolen cloth?
When Jia Mu heard Shi Nai's words, she felt that he had become enlightened. So she said to Jia Zheng who was next to her: "Brother, did you go to the military aircraft office today? If you are at home, call him over. My relatives are here.
Yes, of course I want to meet you."
Jia Zheng nodded, then bowed his hand to Shi Nai, and then exited Jia Mu's room.
Jia Zheng left Jia Mu's room and returned to his outer study. He called a boy and said, "Go to the Wuyang Hou Mansion next door and see if your uncle is in the mansion now. If he is in the mansion, ask him to come immediately."
see me."
The boy received Jia Zheng's order and ran all the way through the Moon Gate to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. In the front yard of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, he happened to meet Qian Mao.
The young boy immediately went forward and gave Qian Mao a thousand gifts, "I would like to pay my respects to Qian Butler."
Qian Mao looked at the young man and found that he was Jia Zheng's personal attendant. He did not dare to put on airs and immediately returned the greeting: "This young man is not serving the master in the house. What's the important thing for coming to us?"
"The master asked me to come over to the house and ask if he is in the house. If so, the master asked him to meet him in the study outside as soon as possible."
Qian Mao smiled and said to him: "What a coincidence. Today, I did not go to the military aircraft office. I am meeting guests in the study outside. I will let you know."
After Qian Mao said this, he led the boy to Jia Ke's outer study room.
Outside the study, Liu Yu led a dozen soldiers to guard the door.
When Liu Yu saw Qian Mao and his people coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is Butler Qian here for something?"
"The master has ordered people to come look for him. I will give him a message as soon as possible."
When Liu Yu heard this, he quickly said to the soldier next to him: "Go in and tell me, tell me that I have something to do and ask him to come over."
After listening to Liu Yu's instructions, the soldier went in to report.
After a while, Jia Ke came out of the study with several people.
Those people came out of the study and bowed to Jia Ke again and again, "If the Marquis has something to do, just go and do it. Don't delay the Marquis's important events because of the little ones."
Jia Ke held up his hands and said to them: "That's it, I'll go first. I've written down what you said. Don't worry. Just go back and wait for the news."
After hearing Jia Ke's words, these people went out with great gratitude.
Seeing these people leaving, Jia Ke turned around and asked the boy: "Why are you looking for me?"
"You dare to ask, but it seems that a relative has come to our house. I think it was the master who asked me to go and see him." When the young man saw Jia Ke coming out, the young man hurried forward to flatter him.
Jia Ke nodded and said to Liu Yu next to him: "Reward."
Liu Yu immediately took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to the boy's hand.
The boy took the money and led Jia Ke the way with a smile on his face.
Jia Ke took Liu Yu and a few soldiers, passed the Moon Gate and came to Rongguo Mansion. Then he walked forward, turned around the verandah, and came to the front yard of Jia Rongguo Mansion and in front of Jia Zheng's study.
There was a young boy waiting in front of Jia Zheng's study room in Rongguo Mansion. When he saw Jia Ke coming, he notified him inside and came up to greet Jia Ke.
Jia Ke came to the outer study room. A boy had already opened the door curtain for him. Jia Ke entered the study room and saw Jia Zheng sitting in the center of the study room.
Jia Ke quickly saluted Jia Zheng and said, "My son has come to pay homage to his father. I wonder if my father has called his son here to say anything."
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke coming, he raised his hand and asked him to sit next to him, and then said: "The old lady's nephew Baoling Hou Shi Nai came over to visit and settled the matter between you and Shi Xiangyun. The old lady asked you to go and pay a visit.
.”
After hearing this, Jia Ke thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. I heard that things have not been going well in their house over the past few years."
Jia Zheng smiled slightly, with some complacency on his face. He thought that although he inherited the Rongguo Mansion back then, his status was not high among the four major families. The two princes of the Shi family did not think highly of him. Unexpectedly, a few years later, he would
He asked for help, and he even hooked up with his niece for this purpose. It seems that power is indeed an intoxicating good thing.
Jia Zheng said nonchalantly to Jia Ke: "There are still some things, and I'm afraid I just want you to help them. I hear the old lady means the same thing."
Jia Ke thought about the current situation in the capital. Almost every position would be competed for a long time between Jia Ke and the emperor. There was no place to put people. Some of them were probably small officials as big as sesame seeds who wanted to protect them.
Linghou Shi Nai disdained being such a minor official.
"Father, I'm afraid it's difficult to make arrangements in Beijing. If Marquis Baoling is interested, we can only arrange an official position for him in the local area." Jia Ke said his arrangements for the Marquis.
Jia Zheng also knows that it is difficult to be a Beijing official now, and it is indeed difficult to arrange for the Marquis. If the official is older, Jia Ke may not be able to get it with his current strength. If the official is young, the Marquis will also
If you don't want to do it, it would be better to serve as a local official.
"In that case, just arrange it locally and become a moderate official." Jia Zheng made the final decision on the whereabouts of the Marquis.
After hearing this, Jia Ke nodded, and then replied: "This is also what my son meant, but I still have to ask him later, otherwise his good intentions will lead to bad things."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. After asking clearly, you will save yourself from complaining in the future. But you can't be proud for a while. After all, it is the elders who are causing trouble. If the old lady is unhappy, we will lose face."
After Jia Zheng gave Jia Ke instructions, he took him to Jia Mu's courtyard.
After the two of them arrived at Jia Mu's courtyard, they heard laughter in Jia Mu's room. Jia Mu and Shi Nai were chatting happily in the house. It seemed that the grudge they had in the past was gone.
Jia Zheng and Jia Ke re-entered Jia Mu's main room. At this time, Jia Mu was holding Shi Nai's hand and talking and laughing there.
Seeing Jia Zheng and Jia Ke coming, Jia Mu quickly waved to them.
Jia Ke rushed to Jia's mother and saluted her, "Old ancestor, my grandson is here to salute you."
"Get up quickly, it happens every time. There is no need for it at home." Mother Jia quickly asked Jia Ke to get up, and then ordered Yuanyang to bring a seat for Jia Ke.
Jia Ke followed suit, but Jia Zheng returned to the big chair next to Jia's mother and sat down.
Seeing Jia Ke sit down, Jia's mother said, "This is my nephew from my mother's side, and he can also be considered your uncle. You go over to see me."
Jia Ke had no choice but to stand up again, came to Shi Nai and bowed his hands in front of him: "My nephew is here to greet my uncle."
Shi Nai quickly stood up and helped him. How dare he let Jia Ke pay him such a courtesy? You know he was still asking Jia Ke.
After the salute was completed, the two parties took their seats again.
At this time, Jia Mu said to Jia Ke: "Your uncle is here this time about Xiangyun, and you must know it. Since you have accepted someone else's golden unicorn, you should also send him a token."
Jia Ke was not prepared for this, but since Jia Mu ordered it, he thought about it and took out a dagger from his arms.
This dagger is inlaid with pearls and jade, and even the handle is made of gold. It is said to be a dagger, but it is actually a short knife. The handle is actually inlaid with a crystal clear diamond, which is rare in the Central Plains.
Jia Ke snatched this thing from a certain Tatar clan leader. He liked it because it was small and exquisite, so he kept it with him.
Jia Ke took out the dagger, held it in front of Jia Mu with both hands and said, "Old ancestor, I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything else with me. This dagger is my favorite. I wonder if I can give it to Sister Xiangyun as a token."
Jia Mu took the dagger and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a rare and good thing. If nothing else, the jewelry and jade inlaid on it were enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.
