Jia Ke came to the old lady's courtyard and saw that the courtyard was not as lively as usual, deserted and deserted.
Jia Ke had no one to inform him, so he had to walk to the door and said to the door: "My grandson Jia Ke has come to visit his grandmother. I wonder if my grandmother will grant him a visit."
Then I heard Jia Mu's voice inside the house saying: "Since eldest brother is here, come in. Why are you so polite as a family?"
Jia Ke then opened the door curtain and entered the house. After entering the door, he saw Jia's mother lying on the bed. Her face was clouded and veins were pulsing on her head. She did not look like someone who had just given birth to a precious grandson.
Jia Ke came to Jia Mu's bed, kowtowed to him and saluted him. Jia Mu rubbed her brow with her hands and said feebly: "No need to be polite, come and sit down by my bed."
Jia Ke then obediently came to the bed and sat down.
Mother Jia closed her eyes on the bed and said softly: "Your mother gave birth to a boy today. When she fell into the grass, she had a piece of jade in her mouth, and there were some auspicious words on it. Everyone said it was auspicious, what do you think?"
Jia Ke quickly replied with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, my grandson. With such auspiciousness, it is a great blessing for our family to be born into our Jia family."
Jia Mu suddenly opened her eyes, stared at him and said, "Do you really think so?"
Jia Ke looked into Jia Mu's eyes and said sincerely: "Yes, that's what my grandson thinks."
Jia Mu said disappointedly: "Since you think so, what do you think we should do?"
Jia Ke smiled and said to Jia Mu: "My younger brother was born with auspiciousness. This is not something ordinary people can have. Only the old lady can bear such a great blessing. Why not take him to the old lady and raise him?"
In the future, all the old ladies will pamper him, and no one else will have anything to say."
Jia's mother was completely disappointed with Jia Ke, and said to him with dim eyes: "You can go out, I have my own reasons."
Jia Ke stood up quickly, saluted Jia Mu and left. But he was thinking about Jia Mu and wondered if he could figure out the mystery of what he just said.
Seeing Jia Ke leave, Jia's mother didn't look at him again. She had high hopes for this grandson, but she didn't expect him to be so short-sighted, and he was no different from ordinary people.
Mother Jia was thinking about today's events in bed. The more she thought about it, the more troubled she became. She didn't know how to explain it to the outside world, especially to the royal family. She couldn't help but think of the conversation she had just had with Jia Ke. "Get him there."
"Beside the old lady", "The old lady dotes on him a little bit".
Suddenly, it dawned on Mother Jia. She already understood what to do. In this situation, she had no choice but to do the opposite. Instead of hiding it, she had to show off, put the child on the bright side, and let everyone
Everyone can see it. This way the royal family can rest assured.
Thinking about what Jia Ke had just said to him, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. His grandson was really scheming. Although he was doing it for the Jia family, he was not doing it for himself.
With just a few words, a newborn baby was pushed out as a target, while he himself was hiding behind it and acting in secret.
Those few words again killed a threatening younger brother in the gentle countryside. As expected, he will become a big thing in the future.
A burst of joy arose in Jia's mother's heart. This is the heir she wants. Only such a person can bring the Jia family back to glory in the future. It seems that God is still favoring the Jia family.
The next day, Jia Mu, in order to show her love for her grandson, gave away a large number of medicinal materials and treasures.
From then on, regardless of her age and frailty, she insisted on visiting her grandson every day. Everyone in the family now knew that the old lady loved her grandson to the core.
Originally, Jia Zheng wanted to give the child a name that was both in line with the rules and satisfactory.
But Jia's mother resisted all opinions and insisted on naming the child Jia Baoyu.
Because Jia's mother was the oldest and had the highest seniority, everyone couldn't help her, so she just thought of calling him nonsense like this for now. When he grows up, she can give him a formal name.
One month later, when Mrs. Wang was one month old, the Jia family held a grand full-moon banquet for Jia Baoyu, inviting everyone they could. They also gave porridge outside for seven days to pray for Jia Baoyu.
The Queen of Heaven appeared in front of everyone holding Jia Baoyu, and from time to time she took out the piece of jade for everyone to see. People were amazed when they saw it. They never thought that someone would be born with a jade in their mouth. They all said that Jia Baoyu was a man of origin.
.
On the second day of the full moon, Jia Mu discussed with Jia Zheng that she should take Baoyu by her side and raise her.
Jia Zheng was extremely filial to his mother, and his mother's demands were not excessive. It was just that the old man loved his grandson and was reluctant to part with him.
That night, Jia Zheng discussed with Mrs. Wang and asked her to send the Baoyu to Jia Mu. How could Mrs. Wang be willing to give it up?
Great future.
So Mrs. Wang had a big quarrel with Jia Zheng, which made Jia Zheng furious. She scolded her for not being filial, and said that the family did not send the child to the old lady to raise. If she was still so unreasonable, she invited Wang Ziteng to argue.
Mrs. Wang remained silent.
The next day, Jia Baoyu was sent to Jia's mother to be raised. Mrs. Wang was so heartbroken when she saw the child being sent away that she could no longer make a sound while crying.
It was Jia Yuanchun who came to comfort her and said, "Don't worry too much, mother. I am growing up next to the old lady now. If the Baoyu is sent to the old lady, I will definitely take good care of it for my mother."
Mrs. Wang felt a little comforted and said to Jia Yuanchun: "Your brother left his mother at such a young age. In the old lady's place, you are the only one who knows how to feel hot and cold, so your brother depends entirely on you."
Jia Yuanchun agreed with tears in her eyes. In fact, she also felt that the old lady was a bit unreasonable. But the old lady was the god of the Jia family, and she could not have any objection.
So Jia Baoyu was taken to Mother Jia. Mother Jia placed Jia Baoyu in a blue gauze cupboard, and immediately invited several nannies to take turns feeding Baoyu. She also specially arranged four or five maids to
Baoyu is constantly being cared for day and night. You have time, so don't hold Baoyu close to you. You are not allowed to leave for a moment.
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Wang was relieved. As soon as Jia Zheng had the opportunity, he mentioned this matter to Mrs. Wang, saying how much his mother loved Baoyu, and that her previous worries were completely unfounded.
Mrs. Wang gradually became convinced of Jia Mu, and went to see Baoyu from time to time. Every time she saw Baoyu, she was white, fat, and very cute. The servants took good care of her, and there was nothing wrong with her.
My daughter, Jia Yuanchun, was there to help. There was no need to worry. Although there were still some complaints, they faded away.
Jia's mother's love for Jia Baoyu caused great disturbances in the Jia family.
But for Jia Ke, there is no need to worry at all, because he is a concubine and does not have much inheritance rights to the Jia family.
What is really worrying now is Jia Zhu. When he was just selected as a scholar, the whole family regarded him as the heir of the Jia family. And he himself regarded himself as the heir.
But now there is Jia Baoyu, who is born with auspiciousness, and Jia's mother's love for him is obvious to all. So Jia Zhu is becoming more and more gloomy now, but the pressure also gives him motivation, and he studies more diligently every day
.I wake up at midnight every day and study day and night. I prepare to pass the examination as soon as possible to consolidate my position.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhu, he was studying day and night. Instead of stopping him, he often encouraged him.
Only Mrs. Wang is always worried when she looks at Jia Zhu. To be honest, although Mrs. Wang also loves Jia Baoyu, she personally raised Jia Zhu and taught her for more than ten years. In terms of love, Jia Zhu surpasses Jia Baoyu. Look.
Seeing Jia Zhu's behavior, Mrs. Wang often went to advise him not to act too hastily. But Jia Zhu was focused on the imperial examination and could no longer listen to other words. On the surface, he promised well, but in fact everything remained as usual.
Jia Ke stood aside and watched with cold eyes, fully understanding Jia Zhu's thoughts. Jia Zhu was quarreling with his newborn brother.
As expected, family affection has nothing to do with interests.
