Kyoto Rongguo Mansion, Rongkei Hall is still resplendent and rich.Mother Jia put away the letter paper in her hand with a happy face, and smiled at Mrs.
Wang, Xing Shi and her granddaughter-in-law Li Kun who were sitting next to her: "Min'er said in the letter that she will return to Beijing in a month!"
”Wang had a smirk on his face, and said hypocritically: "Then congratulations to the old lady, my sister hasn't returned to Beijing for many years!"
”But there was a secret hatred in her heart, wishing that Jia Min's annoying sister-in-law would never come back, so that she would be upset.It's a pity that although Rongguo Mansion is already Jia Zheng's family, and the Wang family is also a veritable wife, Jia's mother still has supreme rights in the mansion.Jia Zheng and his wife were depressed to find that they had become veritable masters of the mansion, which was actually no different from before.On the contrary, with the departure of the big house, the situation in the house is not as good as before.Only then did they deeply feel that the big house was the real purple and golden beam of the Rongguo Mansion, and the Rongguo Mansion without the big house was just a third-rate noble family in Kyoto, and it was the kind that was at the bottom.After feeling the 'wonderful' taste of suddenly falling from the clouds for a few years, Jia Zheng and the Wang couple were completely panicked, they wanted to go back to the old days, but the big thick legs of the big house could never give up.As a result, Jia Mu, who is the best communication bridge between Rongguo Mansion and Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, has changed her status from the previous crumbling to the same as before.At this time, no matter how stupid Jia Zheng and his wife were, they vaguely understood that Jia's mother had used a trick between the big room and the second room, and they couldn't help but admire it.Sure enough, under the tossing of Jia's mother three times and twice, the big house couldn't stand it, and began to have "intimate" contacts with Rongguo Mansion again.After tasting the sweetness, Jia Zheng and the Wang couple no longer wanted to feel the cold taste before, and were respectful and polite to Jia's mother, the old lady who could barely restrain the big house.Even Jia's mother, in order to consolidate her position, or have other ideas, directly took away the second son who was born to Wang, although she hated it in her heart, but on the surface she looked flattered and happy, which made Wang depressed."
Yes, among the children, I am most proud of Min'er, but unfortunately she has been running outside with Ruhai, and I haven't seen her for more than ten years!"
Mother Jia patted the case in front of her and sighed, but her old eyes were shining: "This time she also brought my granddaughter and grandson who I have never seen before!"
”"What, my sister is fighting an outpost for her brother-in-law to return to Beijing?"
The Wang family was taken aback, she had always only focused on the one acre and three points of land in Rongfu, and naturally she did not know Lin Ruhai's dangerous situation at this time, as well as the real purpose of Jia Min and her children returning to Beijing."
I guess!"
A trace of doubt flashed in the depths of Jia's mother's eyes, and she always felt that it was not so simple, but it was a pity that she was half a pound and eight taels with the Wang family, and she was used to enjoying it, and her sensitivity to the development of the external situation was really weak."
It's a coincidence!"
Wang didn't want to mention Jia Min's matter anymore, so he lifted his handkerchief to cover his mouth, and said with a smile: "My sister also brought a pair of children into Beijing!"
”"Oh, is it the wife of the Xue family in Jinling Xue Mansion?"
Jia Mu was taken aback when she heard this, and said curiously: "They didn't stay well in Jinling, why did they suddenly want to enter Beijing?"
”The so-called 'good harvest year and heavy snow, pearls like earth and gold like iron' is the Jinling Xue family, because it is the money bag of the other three families of the four major families, so it is barely hung at the end of the four major families.Of course, the Xue family is rich, because they are doing the business of the royal family of the Internal Affairs Office, and with the support of the remaining three of the four major families, the Xue family's shops have opened all over the country, and their wealth is not inferior to the big salt merchants in Yangzhou.How can I say that the Xue family is a character like a soil overlord in Jinling, they stayed there well, why did they suddenly come to Kyoto?
Kyoto is full of powerful people, and there are countless big business tycoons, and the Xue family is not a fart when they arrive in Kyoto, and even the Rongguo Mansion is now just a third-rate elite upper family in Kyoto because of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.It's not as good as the boss's Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, it's a real first-class mansion, and it's a powerful existence that those top magnates and royals have to give a little face, and they don't dare to provoke casually.Wang's face stiffened, and he said helplessly: "Don't say it, it's really infuriating, since my brother-in-law went, my sister and a pair of children have been excluded and suppressed by the Xue family, if it weren't for my second brother to send someone over in time, I'm afraid that the property of the Xue family's clan branch will have to be robbed by the clansmen!"
”It is said that five years ago, Xue Cheng, the head of the Xue family, inexplicably got seriously ill and went, leaving Aunt Xue, who had no opinions, and a pair of young children.Xue Cheng, the patriarch of the Xue family, used to act too domineeringly, holding all the resources of the entire Xue family in one hand, not giving the rest of the clan the slightest chance to get involved.Xue Cheng was naturally fine, but once Xue Cheng died, how could those clansmen who had been suppressed for a long time give up?
Aunt Xue has no opinions, and Xue Pan, the young master of the Xue family, is a big-eyed and empty-hearted gentleman, who doesn't know how to win the hearts of the clansmen at all, only knows that she is blindly brutal and domineering, and is idle, as a result, the Xue family's business plummeted, and the family's wealth shrank rapidly.Of course, this is not Aunt Xue and a pair of children must enter Beijing, after all, the Xue family is an existence like a soil emperor in Jinling, and with the support of the remaining three of the four major families, although the Xue family is dissatisfied, they dare not make too much trouble.The main reason why they entered Beijing was because Xue Pan had caused trouble and caused a lawsuit for his life, so he went to Beijing to avoid trouble.Wang naturally didn't know much about this, but he was still full of joy and said with a smile: "I heard that my niece is dignified and beautiful, and her upbringing is first-class strict, I haven't seen it as an aunt yet!"
”said with a happy face, but inadvertently brought up the idea of my sister's family in my heart."
yes, that's a coincidence!"
Mother Jia's expression was faint, she naturally would not be as 'willing to fall' as the Wang family, and she was so attentive to a mere merchant, even if it was an imperial merchant.Not wanting to continue this topic, she turned around and ordered the wooden-like Xing Shi next to her: "Xing Shi, after you leave, you go and talk to the boss, just say that Min'er is coming back soon, and when Min'er comes back in a few days, call him to come over and meet!"
”"Yes!"
Xing's face was wooden, and he hurriedly got up and respectfully responded.A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of Jia Mu and Wang, but it was not revealed on their faces.The Xing family in front of her is actually the wife of the big house in the original work of Honghu, of course, it is not here, it is just Jia Yuna's second room, which is the so-called noble concubine.Of course, it was not Jia Yu's intention to be the second room, he was not so idle, and this person's entry was all done by Jia Mu and Wang's team.I don't know what they are planning, in short, when Jia Yu returned to Kyoto from Henan six years ago, they were very active in finding such a noble concubine for Jia Yu, and according to Jia's mother's wishes, they were placed in the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, which still belonged to the big house.The situation of the Xing family is the same as in the original work of the Red Mansion, born in a dilapidated official family, because of the early death of his parents and the need to bring a group of younger siblings, the Xing family was dragged into an old girl, but it is not easy to get married.With such a background, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to enter the door of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, let alone become a concubine of the second wife.The status of the concubine is recognized by the government, and although the status of the children born to them is not a lineage, it is much stronger than that of the concubine, and they have part of the property and the right to inherit the title.However, Jia's mother insisted on it, and even brought out filial piety, Jia Yu did not have the idea of falling out with Jia's mother, and although Xing was an 'old girl', she was really good-looking, so he agreed.Jia's mother regarded the Xing clan as the 'hostage' and representative of the big house, living in the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, because of her poor background, she was disdained by a snob servant of Rongguo Mansion, of course, she only dared to pout her lips in secret, they didn't have the courage to say it openly.Xing is much tougher than in the original book, of course, this is all because of Jia Yu.And because there is an eldest woman on her head, she doesn't have those messy thoughts, she just wants to live her own little life, and she is satisfied with bringing her own son.Compared with the original book, this result is not a little bit stronger, of course, she herself doesn't know that Xing is still quite satisfied with his current life.If she could, she would rather move to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and be under the jurisdiction of the eldest lady than be careful of a noble figure like Hou Jia Mu all day long.She is not a fool, she can resist the ill-intentioned intentions of her clansmen, forcibly protect most of the family property, and pull a group of younger brothers and sisters to grow up, and the Xing clan still has some means.Mother Jia and the Wang family looked down on her in the dark, as well as the contempt and white eyes of the people in the mansion, all made her feel bad for the Rong Mansion, and she wished to escape from this fire pit as soon as possible and return to the two-room life of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.…… Not to mention that in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother played with the Wang family and the two daughters-in-law of the Xing family, and the official boat taken by Jia Min and a pair of children arrived at the southern boundary of the canal all the way.When they arrived at the southern section of the canal, the sailors and servants on the ship clearly felt that this place was very different from the place they were in before, and it was too strict and strict.When the official ship docked at the first town wharf in the southern section of the canal, I don't know what Jia Min's considerations were, he rarely took a pair of children off the official ship, wearing a hat that covered his entire face, and wandered around the bustling wharf town with great interest.Xiao Daiyu and Xiao Lin were excited and blushing, their sister and brother had long been tired of staying on the boat, if it weren't for their mother's story, they would have made a fuss and wanted to get off the boat to play.Now that their mother took them to a strange and prosperous town, they were overjoyed...... ：。
