Jia Ke saw that almost everyone had arrived, even Jia Baoyu was there, so he cupped his hands and said to Jia Mu: "We are talking here today. Brother Zhu and Brother Lian should also come and listen, but they can't come up with any ideas. They are by the side."
Listening more can also increase your knowledge.”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia's mother kept nodding. She thought that what Jia Ke said was good, and Jia Ke did not act arbitrarily. She also wanted her two younger brothers to participate in such family affairs. It seemed that she wanted to
Pull them away.
So Jia Mu smiled and said to Yuanyang: "Since the eldest brother said so, let's invite more people. You go and invite your eldest grandma, and then send a little maid to bring Brother Zhu and his wife and Brother Lian."
Call the couple over and let them hear what's going on in our family now. Especially our Mistress Lian, she needs to listen more, otherwise people will laugh at her when she goes out."
When Yuanyang heard what he said, Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled, and then went out.
When everyone saw that Jia Mu was going to invite three juniors, they didn't talk about the main topic yet, so they each talked about their family affairs.
Mrs. Xing first said dissatisfiedly to Mrs. Wang: "What's going on these days? Is our house still short of money? Why does the monthly payment always take so long?"
Mrs. Wang was a little confused after hearing what she said, "No, I always distribute the money on time during this period."
Mrs. Xing said disdainfully: "Apart from the old lady, you are the most valuable person in this mansion. Who dares to shortchange you?"
Sitting there, Mother Jia felt so petty when she heard Mrs.
Why are you talking about this? I’m so disappointed.”
Jia She was also a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Xing. He turned around and scolded Mrs. Xing, which made Mrs.
When Jia Ke heard Mrs.
She shouldn't go too far. If someone loses her life, it won't be easy to deal with in the end.
While they were talking here, a burst of hearty laughter was heard outside, "I'm late."
Immediately afterwards, the door curtain was opened, and Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng walked in from the outside.
After the two of them arrived at the house, they saw that everyone in the house had arrived. They hurriedly stepped forward to salute everyone one by one. After completing the circle of salutes, Jia Lian felt a little sore in his back.
Not long after Jia Lian arrived, someone outside sent word, "Grandma is here."
As soon as Jia Ke heard this voice, he looked out the door. At this time, Qin Keqing appeared at the door.
Jia Ke came to her side in two or three steps, grabbed her hand and asked, "I haven't been at home these two days, but how are you doing at home?"
Qin Keqing and Jia Ke held hands in front of everyone, with her face as red as an apple. She gently pulled out her hand and said angrily to Jia Ke: "The old ladies are all here. Don't make people laugh like this.
"
Only then did Jia Ke feel that he was a little anxious, and then he helped her to the old lady embarrassedly. The two of them saluted the old lady again, and Jia's mother sat on it and asked them to get up with a smile.
Then he ordered the little girl in the house to prepare seats for them.
In the end, Jia Zhu and Li Zhicai arrived late, mainly because Jia Zhu lived the farthest away, and because he was in poor health and walked slowly.
After Jia Zhu came in and saluted Jia Mu, Jia Mu looked at Jia Zhu's pale face and felt very distressed. She quickly ordered someone to move the seat and let Jia Zhu sit on it.
Now all the main heads of the three mansions have arrived.
Jia Mu then asked Jia Ke: "What happened this time?"
Jia Ke said with a smile on his face: "It's nothing else. The emperor sent someone to falsely spread the news this time, saying that the Tatars were going south, and then sent me to lead the army north to resist the Tatars. As a result, his confidant Lei Ying led
According to the imperial edict, he wanted to deal with me on the way."
When Jia Mu heard this, she dropped the cup in her hand and said, "What happened in the end? Seeing that you are fine now, has the emperor forgiven you?"
At this time, Jia Zheng and Jia She, who were sitting nearby, also stared at Jia Ke, looking very nervous. After the disaster more than ten years ago, they did not want to happen again now.
Seeing their nervous expressions, Jia Ke smiled and said: "Although he used tricks, it was of no use to anyone. He didn't know that these generals are all under my command. So naturally, it's like a chicken flying over an egg."
Jia Mu felt relaxed after hearing what he said, but she didn't show any relaxed expression. Instead, she continued to ask: "Then the emperor just let you go so gently?"
Jia Ke said nonchalantly: "How can such a good thing happen? The emperor wanted to send troops to attack our Rongguo Mansion. But my subordinate Fan Kang found out. That's why he sent troops to protect us."
Only then did the head of the Jia Mansion understand what was going on with the soldiers outside the mansion. It seemed that these soldiers were protecting the three mansions.
Since Jia Mu knew these things in advance, she then asked the next thing, "So when you come back, how will the emperor deal with it?"
Jia Ke smiled and replied to Jia Mu: "How dare he deal with us? Now my soldiers have surrounded the palace. He has just given us a decree, making me the Duke of Yan, the prime minister to lead the general military, plus Jiuxi
, Praise and worship are unknown, enter the court without following, and go to the palace with swords and shoes."
When Jia Ke finished these words, everyone in the room took a breath. Only now did they know how fierce the struggle was, and in the final result, fortunately, Jia Ke won. Even the emperor was forced to
After conferring an official title like Jia Ke, it seemed that from now on, the emperor could only recuperate in the harem.
When Jia Zhen, who was standing aside, heard what Jia Ke said, she immediately became excited. He stepped forward and asked Jia Ke: "Brother Ke, do you mean that from now on you will take charge of the government?
"
Jia Ke smiled and nodded without saying anything.
When Jia Ke's mother heard Jia Ke's answer, she smiled and felt even more excited. It seemed that Jia Ke was getting closer to his goal, and the prophecy made more than ten years ago was about to come true.
Achieved.
And Jia Zheng and Jia She are now happy. Their family is now considered the best in the world, and even the royal family has to give their Jia family three points.
Jia Ke saw how happy they were, and then said to them: "This matter is over. From now on, our family will live a good life, and we should not be too showy outside."
When Jia's mother heard what Jia Ke said, she kept nodding. Then she told the people below: "You all heard it, right? Although our family is somewhat powerful now, we must also know how to be humble and not let others laugh. We are
upstart."
So everyone bowed their hands to Jia Mu and said yes, saying that Jia Mu could rest assured, but Jia Mu didn't know what these people were thinking.
After Jia Ke finished arranging the matter, he told Jia Mu about the follow-up situation, "When I first returned to Beijing, I heard that the Supreme Emperor had passed away. So I went to the palace without going home. I made arrangements for the palace.
Things have been arranged.”
Only then did Jia Mu realize that Jia Ke was wearing white clothes when he came in. It turned out that he had gone directly to the palace to express his condolences to the Supreme Emperor.
When Jia Mu heard what he said, she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she asked, "If that's the case, do all the high-ranking people in our family have to go in and keep vigil for the Supreme Emperor?"
Jia Ke said nonchalantly: "I have to go, but the old lady is so old, so it might be inappropriate to stay there all day. Just go for a while, kowtow and then come back."
Jia Mu nodded when she heard this, and a sense of pride arose in her heart. This is the advantage of having the power in the world. As long as she just walks around casually, she doesn't need to stay like others for a day.
Mrs. Wang sat aside and saw that everyone was almost done discussing it, so she asked Jia Ke, "How is your sister doing in the palace now? Will the emperor be angry with her?"
Mrs. Wang has always felt guilty about this daughter. She sent this daughter to the palace for Jia Zhu. Although she is now a virtuous concubine, she is never as comfortable at home.
After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Jia's mother also thought of this granddaughter. Jia Yuanchun had been raised by her. Speaking of it, besides Jia Baoyu, she was the closest to her in the Jia family.
"Yes, brother, I'm a little worried about your sister in the palace. Do you have any ideas to make her life more comfortable? Your sister has made great contributions to our family." Jia Mu said helpfully.
.
After hearing what they said, Jia Ke quickly stood up, first saluted Jia Mu, and then came to Mrs. Wang's side.
Jia Ke handed over to Mrs. Wang and said, "There is a happy event that I didn't have time to talk about just now. Now I want to congratulate my mother first."
Mrs. Wang asked confusedly: "What happy event do I have? Why didn't I know?"
Jia Ke cupped his hands and smiled and said: "I heard from the eunuch below that the Supreme Emperor had already made a decree before his death. He was a little dissatisfied with the current queen and wanted our virtuous concubine to succeed him as the queen, and the emperor has already agreed.
.”
As soon as Mrs. Wang heard this, she was overjoyed, and the smile on her face immediately bloomed. Looking at Jia Ke who was reporting the news to her, she felt much more pleasing to the eye, and was no longer as annoying as before.
But Jia Mu, who was sitting in the main seat, was not particularly happy after hearing this. Jia Mu was still thinking about the prophecy given to her by Taoist Zhang. Being the grandmother of the queen would not be as happy as being the grandmother of the emperor. Besides, she was not as happy as the grandmother of the emperor.
Now Jia Ke is only one step away from that position. Even if Jia Ke wants to give up, she will never allow it, so she is not very excited about Jia Yuanchun becoming the queen.
Jia Zhen, who was standing aside, heard this and hurriedly came over to give Jia Zheng a gift, "Congratulations to uncle, congratulations to uncle, it seems that our family is about to have a Cheng'en Gong."
Jia Zheng sat there, stroking his beard with his hand, his face a little proud, but he still tried to keep his face serious, so he looked a little weird.
But Jia She, who was sitting opposite him, felt very jealous. Why did his second brother have to do all this good deeds alone? His son was a powerful prime minister, his daughter was about to become a queen, and he was also going to become Cheng En.
It’s public.
And Jia Lian was extremely excited when he heard this. Today is a double happiness. From now on, he will be the number one dandy in the capital.
