My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 243 Why are you here?
When Jia Mu and others came over, they naturally did not come empty-handed, and everyone gave them their own gifts.

Jia Yu accepted all the bellybands, longevity locks, jade pendants, etc., and then ordered Zhou Rui's family to prepare for dinner.

There were not many people here this time, so we only set up two tables in the side hall.

During the dinner, Jia's mother once again praised Jia Yu, admiring him for not forgetting to promote his brothers even after he became prosperous.

"Brother Yu is nostalgic. The old lady accidentally saw Brother Huan a few days ago. She almost didn't recognize him. He has become darker and stronger, and his words and deeds have also become very measured. Compared with before, he is simply unrecognizable. That’s heaven and earth.”

Jia Yu smiled and said: "My ancestors have given me the reward, I just provided Brother Huan with a chance.

The most important thing is for him to strive for his own success, otherwise not even the King of Heaven can do anything about it. "

Wang Xifeng also echoed: "Who says it's not the case? That day I happened to go to Ningguo Mansion to see Brother Rong's daughter-in-law to do something, and I happened to see Brother Huan coming out of Aunt Zhao's yard.

Good guy, Brother Huan was dressed in red and white uniforms of officers and soldiers. I thought the officers and soldiers were coming to arrest me, which scared me so much that my legs went weak. "

After saying that, she patted her chest, showing a panicked look, which caused another burst of laughter.

After Jia Huan becomes Jia Yu's personal soldier and has the status of brother-in-law, as long as he is not too stupid, he is sure to become famous in the future.

Both Jia Lian and Jia Huan seemed to him to be stumbling blocks in the path of his precious son.

However, Mrs. Wang is still a little clever. Of course she did not dare to blame Jia Yu in front of everyone. Instead, she took advantage of everyone's happiness and said to Jia Yu: "Brother Yu, today I am taking advantage of the old lady and everyone." , I want to ask you for something. '

The implication of this is that it’s easy to talk about small things, but if it’s too difficult, please forgive me and I can’t do anything about it.

Although Jia's mother's love for Baoyu is down to her bones, everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is Jia She, the first-class general, who inherits the title of Rongguo Mansion.

Everyone knows that soldiers are always the closest people to the general, and they are also the people who are easiest to be promoted.

Jia Yu turned her head and looked over, smiling and saying: "Mother-in-law, please tell me, as long as my son-in-law can do it, I will never refuse."

Also, once Jia's mother passes away for a hundred years, it is still unclear whether they, as the second wife, can continue to stay in Rongguo Mansion. Anyway, Mrs. Wang will not think that Jia She can be so kind to allow them to continue to stay in Rongguo Mansion.

The two mother and son were naturally smiling very happily. Only Mrs. Wang's face was not very good-looking, and there was a strong sense of crisis in her heart.

It's just that I never thought that Jia Lian would be promoted by Jia Yu to join the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and become a hundred households.

After hearing what Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng said, everyone was amazed and did not forget to express their congratulations to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng.

If Jia Lian is really capable of becoming the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, then no one can take away his title.

To the Rongguo Mansion, Baihu could only be regarded as an inconspicuous sesame official, but it represented a completely different meaning. This meant that in addition to Jia Zheng, there was another person in the Rongguo Mansion who held an actual position in the court.

When Mrs. Wang suddenly spoke, Mother Jia frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, but looked at her daughter-in-law.

What bothered her the most was that even Jia Lian, the bastard whom she had always looked down on as a lowly slave boy, started to change drastically.

According to the news from his servants, Jia Huan went to Dingyuan Uncle Mansion every day before dawn for the past six months to practice martial arts. Recently, he was accepted as a personal soldier by Jia Yu and started to take him with him.

In the past, the Queen Mother had imagined that Jia Lian would do something ridiculous, but she was so angry that she reported to the Holy Emperor that Jia Lian was deprived of the title.

Although Jia She has always been disliked by Jia's mother and is mediocre, lustful, greedy and shameless, no matter how incompetent he is, he will not pass his title to Baoyu. After all, his biological son Jia Lian is still there.

With this springboard, Jia Lian may be promoted from Baihu to Qianhu, Dongcheng Commander, or even Wucheng Army Commander in the future.

A bastard whom she looked down upon in the past would actually ride on his precious jade head in the future. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt like her breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't get out.

There was a strange light in Mrs. Wang's eyes, and she looked at Jia Yu and said: "Brother Yu, I heard that you have met several of His Majesty's princes and princesses. I believe you have also met the second princess. I don't know who she is. how?"

"Second princess?"

When Jia Yu heard this, the face of a beautiful little girl immediately appeared in her mind.

He nodded, "We had a chance encounter. The second princess is really beautiful and gives people an innocent feeling."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, a hint of joy appeared on her face, "If that's the case, I'll be relieved."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's happy look, everyone said hello.

How the second princess looks has nothing to do with you. Why do you look like this?

Only Mother Jia vaguely guessed what her second daughter-in-law was thinking, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Baoyu mother, are you thinking..."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Old lady, it is true that nothing can be hidden from your discernment.

My daughter-in-law thinks that as Baoyu is getting older, it is time for her to propose a marriage to him.

Although our Jia family is not as noble as the royal family, it is at least a two-legged family.

Brother Yu is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and now he has become the governor of the Beijing camp. My daughter-in-law is thinking about whether Brother Yu can ask for a favor from His Majesty and let our family Baoyu become the princess. What do you think? "

"puff……"

As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Wang Xifeng, who was drinking tea, suddenly spurted tea out of her mouth.

Everyone else looked at Mrs. Wang with shocked faces.

Daiyu, Baochai and Xiangyun were talking quietly with their little heads together.

Upon hearing this, the three of them were so excited that their three little heads suddenly touched each other, and the three of them let out a cry of pain at the same time.

But the three girls didn't have time to pay attention to this, they all looked at Mrs. Wang in shock.

My dear... I know you love your precious son, but you are too bold to think about it, aren't you?

That's the princess of the dynasty, and your hands can't lift your shoulders, and your son, who is neither a man nor a warrior, wants to be a prince-in-law?
"No...Mother-in-law..." Jia Yu didn't react for a moment and looked at her father-in-law in confusion...Is this what you meant?

But when he saw Jia Zheng also looking confused, he understood that this matter must have been his mother-in-law's own initiative. He took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. Wang: "Mother-in-law, please forgive my son-in-law for not being able to do anything about this matter. How can we ministers be involved in the royal marriage?
Baoyu is not very old. It is too early to talk about marriage at this time. Why are you so anxious?

Besides, there are thousands of good girls in the world, why did you focus on Her Royal Highness? "

Hearing Jia Yu's rejection, Mrs. Wang's face showed a sad look, she even picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and cried to Jia's mother: "Old lady, our Baoyu is useless.

If he fails to study or practice martial arts, what will he do in the future?

As a mother, I have been so worried about this matter that I can't sleep these days, so I thought, Brother Yu has a good relationship with the royal family, so I asked Brother Yu to talk to His Majesty and see if it can be done. Let your majesty marry the second princess to Baoyu of our family. "

Jia Mu thought for a long time, and finally shook her head slowly: "Baoyu, mother, the marriage of the royal princess is such a big event, how can it be beyond the control of Brother Yu? It's useless for you to ask him."

"Mother-in-law."

Jia Yu couldn't help but said: "You can take a look and see who the princes-in-law have been married to by princesses since the founding of the Xia Dynasty.

When the country was first founded, most of the princes-in-law were the descendants of the founding nobles.

And since the time of the Supreme Emperor, those who can become the prince-in-law are either talented people or outstanding children of important officials in the court. See for yourself, which one of our family's treasures can get it?
My son-in-law also knows that you are worried that the old lady and you will not be able to accommodate Baoyu in the Rongguo Mansion a hundred years from now, so you want to find a backer for Baoyu. My son-in-law can understand your feelings, but that is not how things work.

As the saying goes, mountains will fall if you rely on others, and you will run away if you rely on others. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anything. Since you are so worried about Baoyu's future, you might as well urge him to work hard now. It is best to get a meritorious degree and get an official position. , even if you can't be rich, at least you can have enough food and clothing. Isn't this better? "

As soon as Jia Yu finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Xifeng, and the pretty face of the hottie suddenly changed color in fright.

She couldn't figure it out, she was eating the melon perfectly, why did this melon fall on her head?

In fact, it was just him. After Jia Yu's prompting, everyone suddenly realized that this grandson's daughter-in-law who made trouble in front of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang would later become the mistress of Rongguo Mansion.

How Baoyu will live in the future really depends on her and Jia Lian's faces.

Of course, everyone is not stupid. Everyone can think of these things on weekdays. It’s just that now that Jia’s mother and Mrs. Wang are in charge, many people don’t want to think about it. But today, Jia Yu mentioned this matter for the first time. The blood was laid out in front of everyone.

After all, the Rongguo Mansion still belongs to the eldest family. No matter how favored Baoyu is now, it is all based on Jia Mu's favor. Once Jia Mu is gone, the separation of the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng is inevitable. Speaking of Baoyu, even Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had to move out of Jia's house.

As for Wang Xifeng, who was the center of attention, she felt a little panicked when everyone looked at her like this.

I couldn't help but stammered: "Ancestor...aunt...I...this...this...granddaughter-in-law, I have never thought about it like this...I..."

Mother Jia's expression kept changing for a long time, and finally she sighed: "Baoyu's mother's worries are indeed the old woman's worries. Now that the old woman is still here, you two brothers are still safe and sound. If the old woman is no longer here one day, things will probably go wrong." It will happen just like Brother Yu said.

But the tree has big branches, this is also the eternal truth, Baoyu’s mother wants to find a backer for Baoyu, it’s not wrong, it’s just this matter..."

When Jia's mother said this, she suddenly said to Jia Yu: "Brother Yu, isn't there any hope in the matter that Baoyu's mother mentioned?"

"Hey……"

Jia Yu was almost angry. That's not what you said just now. Why are you changing your mind now?

"Ancestor, why are you so confused? You don't even think about it. If Baoyu wants Princess Shang, does he have anything he can do?

Is he talented in literature? Or can you lead the troops to fight? Or can it be able to maintain peace and stability in the country, or can it relieve the royal family's worries?

Could it be because of his big face? "

"Pfft!"

As soon as Jia Yu's words came out, everyone in Lan Xintang burst into laughter.

In the original work, Baoyu's face is also described as being like a jade plate, but what it actually means is that he has a big round face.

Of course, this is not to say that Baoyu's appearance is not good-looking. On the contrary, objectively speaking, Baoyu's appearance is quite impressive. It's just that no one usually noticed it. Now that Jia Yu said it, everyone immediately thought about it. After seeing the image of Baoyu's round face, he immediately clicked on it.

Daiyu, Baochai, and Xiangyun even hugged each other. The three of them laughed together and barely managed to keep from falling off their chairs.

Sisters Xichun and Yingchun were also leaning on the table. They didn't dare to laugh loudly, so they could only twitch their shoulders, which was extremely hard to endure.

Jia's mother was also dumbfounded. She picked up the crutch and slapped Jia Yu hard on the back. She laughed and scolded: "You bastard, how could you say that about your brother-in-law!"

Mrs. Wang was different from others in that she looked at Jia Yu with anger.

Jia Yu didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so big. At the same time, she also realized that her words were a bit excessive, so even if she was slapped by Jia Mu, she could only touch her nose helplessly.

In the end, Jia Mu and others went back angrily, and Mrs. Wang gave him a hateful look before leaving.

Jia Yu was also helpless about this, but it was true that she said the wrong thing and annoyed her mother-in-law.

After sending Jia Mu out, he was about to go back to see Yuan Chun and his son when he saw Zhao Qiubai walking over in a hurry.

After coming to his side, he whispered: "Sir, is there anyone looking for you outside?"

"Who?" Jia Yu asked casually.

"Yes Yes……"

Zhao Qiubai hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "Sire, you'd better go over and have a look in person. The villain has already placed it in the living room on the south side."

"The living room on the south side?"

Jia Yu was slightly startled, but all visiting guests were usually placed in the front living room. The living room on the south side was relatively remote and rarely visited by people. Zhao Qiubai placed people there, which showed that the identity of the visitor was not simple.

"Go...go over and have a look!"

Jia Yu didn't waste any time. Accompanied by Zhao Qiubai, he came to a small living room on the south side of Uncle Dingyuan's mansion.

When he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing in the small living room, pacing anxiously back and forth, his body shook violently and he couldn't help shouting, "Why are you here?"
