Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 16 The Jia family’s reaction, interests first (please recommend and collect)
When Mrs. Wang returned to Rongguo Mansion, she immediately went to Jia Mu's residence.

At this moment, Jia's mother was lying on the beauty's couch and taking a nap. She was served by two maids, Yuanyang and Hubo.

Seeing her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, coming over, Jia Mu slowly opened her eyes.

"came back?"

"Yes." Mrs. Wang nodded, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

Seeing this, Jia Mu sat up from the beauty's couch with Yuanyang's support.

"What did the girl say?"

"Well... there is something I need to tell you." Mrs. Wang said hesitantly, "I didn't know until I got there that my niece had just been given a marriage by the emperor, and the wedding date is ten days later."

When Jia Mu heard this, her eyes, which were not big at first, immediately widened: "How...how could this happen? Whose brother is he promising? Is he more promising than our Lian'er?"

Mrs. Wang put the brocade handkerchief she originally held in her hand into her sleeve, smiled and said: "Speaking of this brother and old lady, you should have heard of it, it is the Su Ran who was rumored throughout the capital a few days ago. "

"Su Ran? Are you talking about the boy who led more than 100 people in northern Xinjiang and killed nearly [-] enemies overnight?" Jia's mother clearly became energetic when she heard the name "Su Ran".

"That's right." Mrs. Wang nodded again, "That's him. The emperor has just made him the fourth-grade deputy counselor of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and also given him a mansion. It's so glorious."

When Jia Mu heard this, she suddenly became silent.

After a long time, she looked at Mrs. Wang and said: "Young hero, I didn't expect that this girl would have such a blessing. It's just a pity for our family Lian'er. I'm still thinking about this girl. It seems I have to teach Lian'er a new lesson. It’s a marriage.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang did not comment, because she knew that what she wanted to express had already been said.

The Wang family has been excluded from the core level of power in the Daqing Dynasty since his brother Wang Ziteng resigned as the governor of the Beijing Camp, but now, his niece Wang Xifeng has climbed such a big tree.

Although Su Ran's current official position is only the fourth rank, he is only 17 years old. A young hero who can be appreciated by the new emperor will definitely have a bright future.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed with excitement.

Mother Jia is an old woman, so she can naturally see the inner thoughts of her daughter-in-law.

However, the four major families are connected by the same spirit, breaking bones and connecting tendons. The Wang family's gain in power will definitely be beneficial to the other families.

Jia Mu lowered her head and fiddled with the rosary beads in her hand for a few times, then looked up at her daughter-in-law: "Since the emperor has granted marriage, you, as an aunt, must also express yourself. In this case, you can go and receive 1000 taels from the government." Yinzi, I'll buy some things for you. If there's a shortage of manpower over there, call some over here. You'll stay with the girls these days to help with the arrangements. What do they know at such a young age? Do you think so? no?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she nodded thoughtfully: "Then I will thank the old lady for my niece. When the wedding is over, I will ask her to come over and thank the old lady in person."

"That's no need. Young people have just been married. How can they have time to pay attention to me, an old woman?" Jia Mu waved her hands with a smile on her face, "I just want them to come around the house often in the future and talk to these people. It would be nice if brothers and sisters could get closer and closer.”

"Hey." Mrs. Wang nodded, "I will definitely bring what the old lady said. My niece is also a lively person, but she has not been in the government before, so it is not easy to show her face."

"Yes, yes." Jia Mu still had a smile on her face, but she was no longer interested in talking anymore.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang stood up and saluted Mother Jia: "Then I'll go back first, tell the master, and then go to Feng Yatou to help."

Jia Mu said "Yes", turned around and lay down on the high pillow of the beauty's couch.

……

When Mrs. Wang returned, Jia Zheng happened to have just returned from doing business outside.

Although Jia Zheng was only a fifth-grade worker from the Ministry of Industry, he had already heard about Su Ran's marriage.

After all, it is rare for an emperor to grant such a major event as a marriage.However, after all, word-of-mouth communication inevitably contains errors.

When he saw his wife and learned that she had just returned from his niece Wang Xifeng's stay, the foreign minister couldn't help but inquire about her.

When Jia Zheng learned that the emperor's marriage partner was indeed his niece Wang Xifeng, he became a little restless.

He is already in his forties, relying on his ancestors, but now he is only a fifth-rank servant, and he has no real power.

But this Su Ran, it is said that he is only 17 years old, and he is already the deputy commander of the fourth-grade Xiaoqi Battalion.

But now, such a heroic young man wanted to marry his wife's niece, which made Jia Zheng feel filled with emotion.

Looking at his wife, he hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Since the old lady asked you to help arrange the marriage, you should pay the money quickly. I have nothing to do here."

Mrs. Wang has been married to Rongguo Mansion for so many years, and she still knows her husband very well.

Although he didn't say it, the infinite gap in his heart was still clearly revealed.

She was silent for a moment and walked to her husband Jia Zheng: "Master, you don't have to think too much. In terms of talent, you are not inferior to those who have risen to the top. In terms of character, you are impeccable. Now you are only 40 years old. Zi Teng Although he has been transferred from the position of Jiedushi in Beijing, the Su Ran in front of me is a rising star. I just met him this morning. He is indeed a young hero. As long as he can have a prosperous official career, Feng Yatou will be my dear. Niece, when the time comes, are you still worried that your husband will not be able to help you?"

Although Jia Zheng's official position is not high, he is also a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time.

It was impossible for him to say such words himself, but since his wife said it, he could only follow her words: "Actually, it doesn't matter how big an official I am, it's just that my ancestors have established such great achievements, and in my generation But I couldn't make any achievements, and I feel a little unwilling. Since we are our own children, we must take care of each other in the court from now on. I heard that this Su Ran seems to be an orphan, so in the future, if you can help, you can often go and help. This not only fulfills her affection as an aunt, but also makes Su Ran feel the warmth of having relatives around her."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's good if your husband thinks so. Then I'll go get the money now. I won't be in the house to take care of you these two days."

"Go, go, I have nothing to do here." Jia Zheng waved his hand towards her.

When Mrs. Wang saw this, she didn't wait much and went out of the house directly.

……

At this moment, Jia She, the uncle of Rongguo Mansion, came to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia knew the purpose of his coming, and it was naturally for the marriage of her son Jia Lian.

She already had concerns about this matter in her heart.

In any case, the emperor's marriage grant must be absolutely supported, and there should not even be a single complaint.

Therefore, after Jia She came over, Jia's mother didn't give him a good look. She just asked him to go back and see her son to see if he could compare with Su Ran.

Naturally, Jia She knew what kind of thing his son was. He was not good at literature or martial arts. He also idled around all day. If he hadn't been born in Rongguo Mansion, he probably wouldn't even be able to eat.

But even so, he was still his son, so before leaving, he still asked Jia Mu to find a match for him.

Concerning this matter, Jia's mother has no suitable candidate for the time being, so she can only ask Jia She to go back and wait, while she can properly discipline her son.

In fact, the old lady also knew in her heart that the reason why her grandson became like this had something to do with his father.

He had just come over to ask for his son's marriage, but his eyes were secretly glancing at the maid Yuanyang, intentionally or unintentionally.

In addition, Jia Mu is also well aware of the flowers and plants that Jia She has outside, but it is difficult to tell them.
