Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 588 Tacit understanding
Jia Mu laughed and said, "I knew you wouldn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."

Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed and lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Jia Mu continued to ask: "If you have anything to say, I will give you the details."

Mrs. Wang then told the queen with embarrassment that she had asked the queen to transfer Jia Lian back.

Except for bringing Jia Lian back, Mrs. Wang did not reveal the slightest bit of her thoughts.

But who is Mrs. Wang? Mrs. Wang just made the beginning, and Jia Mu understood what Mrs. Wang was up to.

Jia's mother is also in a dilemma now. She must know that Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian are both her grandsons. Although they are related and have descendants, they are all flesh and blood after all. She feels sad if they hurt either side.

Mrs. Wang stood nearby and didn't say much, just waiting quietly for Jia Mu to think.

After a long time, Jia Mu took a breath and said calmly: "It is good to let Jia Lian come back. After all, he has been away for so many years. It is time to come back and be filial to his father."

Mrs. Wang knew it was done as soon as she heard it, and said with a smile on her face: "I think Lian Er is a blessed man. Not to mention the property in this house, but his wife's ability, she will never be short of him in this life. "

Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang, smiled slightly and said, "I said a few days ago that 70% of the property in this house belongs to your second wife. Why, are you willing to take it out?"

"How can I, as an aunt, let my nephew suffer? At any rate, I have to let him have an end."

After hearing this, Jia's mother nodded with satisfaction, "Our Jia Lian is not that ambitious. It would be good for him to be a rich man at home. Plus, his second uncle and Baoyu are helping him from behind. It will not be difficult for him to live in the future." It’ll be too bad.”

After saying this, Mother Jia thought for a moment, and then said to the newly recruited maid beside her: "I just heard that the palace is letting the second daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law go in tomorrow?"

"The old lady just issued an order from the palace, asking the first lady and the second lady to enter the palace tomorrow to meet the queen."

"In this case, I will call the eldest daughter-in-law and I will give you a few words. Don't go to the palace tomorrow and lose etiquette and ruin our family's reputation." After Jia Mu finished speaking, she ordered someone to call Mrs. Xing.

At this time, Mrs. Xing was at home wearing her grand attire of a duchess's wife.

While I was happily trying on the clothes, a little maid came in from outside and said that Mother Jia asked her to come over.

Mrs. Xing immediately changed her clothes and hurried to Rongqing Hall.

When I came in, I saw that Mrs. Wang from the second family was there, and I felt unhappy. The old lady asked me to come over today. Did the second family say something again?

Although she thought so, on the surface she still bowed respectfully to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia smiled and asked the maid to set up a seat next to her, and then asked Mrs. Xing to sit over.

Mrs. Xing is really flattered now. When did Mrs. Jia become so close to her?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still sat next to Jia Mu, but there was some fear on his face.

"My eldest daughter-in-law, the palace has decreed that you and the second eldest daughter-in-law should go in together tomorrow. Do you know what it is?"

Mrs. Xing shook her head, she really didn't know what happened.

Mother Jia patted her thigh with a smile, and then said: "The second daughter-in-law came into the palace this morning. She begged the queen to transfer our Jia Lian back from other places. I should tell you about it tomorrow." Mrs. Xing listened. It was a bit unbelievable after that. When did the second daughter-in-law become so reasonable?
But this thing is a good thing. Jia Lian is back, and their house has a pillar, which can lay the foundation for officially settling in Rongguo Mansion in the future.

"If that's true, that's a good thing. Our family hasn't had a reunion dinner for a long time. Jia Lian's return can be regarded as a family reunion." Mrs. Xing said jokingly.

"Isn't that true?" Jia Mu also patted her thigh happily.

"Sister-in-law, let's go to the palace together tomorrow. We can't get distracted in front of the queen, otherwise it will be bad if it delays our Jia Lian's return to Beijing." Mrs. Wang warned from the side.

Mrs. Xing naturally agreed wholeheartedly. This matter would be good for their family and there was no reason to refuse.

In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law joked a few more jokes, and then dispersed.

Besides, Mrs. Xing returned to her small courtyard and hurried to Baoxia nearby to see Jia She.

At this time, Jia She was setting a table of wine, eating happily in the company of several concubines.

He also saw Mrs. Xing coming in, but he didn't have much respect for Mrs. Xing. He still held his concubine there and drank from her.

Mrs.

Jia She looked at Mrs. Xing displeased and blamed her for delaying his drinking pleasure. However, if something happened to the old lady, he did not dare to delay. He could only drive away several concubines beside him in displeasure.

When there were only two of them left in the room, Mrs. Xing told Jia She what happened at the old lady's place just now.

After hearing this, Jia She was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he came up with his own analysis.

My family has now inherited the title of Duke Rong, and my son Jia Lian is also the eldest son. What's more, Jia Lian has done well during his time as a foreign official and is about to be promoted. The second brother's side is afraid that Jia Lian will continue to be promoted, which will threaten him even more. Their status in Rongguo Mansion was over.

This second child is just petty. His official doesn't have much power now, but he is a second or third grade official after all. He is still jealous of his nephew. What can he say about him?

However, Jia She thought about it and understood that the second son could no longer inherit the Rongguo Mansion. If he was to be outdone by his eldest brother in the official position, he would not be able to survive.

Jia She felt proud now that he finally pushed down his dick and made them jump over the wall in such a hurry.

Although he felt happy, Jia She still had some affection for him. He thought for a moment, his son Jia Lian was already the heir apparent of Duke Rong, and it would be embarrassing to be a minor official outside.

Moreover, it made the two rooms in Rongguo Mansion unhappy and made outsiders laugh.

Simply take this opportunity to bring Jia Lian back. One is to let him continue to be in charge of Rongguo Mansion, which can be regarded as taking over his own affairs in advance. The other is that he is getting older and it is time for him to have a son by his side to take care of him.

As for his other concubine, Jia She didn't put any hope in him at all. He only needed to give him food to eat in the future, and he didn't expect anything else.

"Now that the old lady has spoken, you should do as the old lady wants."

After hearing this, Mrs. What about the fight between children from poor families?
