Chapter 206 Deep regret
In front of Jia Mu, all the girls were still relaxed.
For Sanchun, Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun, Jia Mu should be a relatively open and enlightened elder. In an era when women have no talent and virtue, allowing Sanchun Daichaiyun to learn poetry and books, and not demanding etiquette for her care, it is not very pedantic.
Jia Zheng is a typical feudal man, always holding him hypocritically, and those who are with him are unhappy.
Therefore, after drinking, Jia Mu still happily asked them to play and talked about opera for a while. Since the old concubine passed away, she had no chance to watch opera for a year. This made the life of the old lady who liked opera a little boring. The one who made her happiest was the one who made her happiest was Wang Xifeng.
Jia Mu La Daiyu sat on the soft couch with her, thinking for a while: "Baochai is here too, you are all my good granddaughter-in-laws. When I saw Daiyu, I remembered her mother. When I saw Baochai, I thought this inner courtyard would be appropriate."
This time, Jia Mu did not ask Baoyu to sit with her, and the attitude of the ancestors changed.
Jia Tanchun took the lead without hesitation and said: "Our ancestor said it well, Sister Lian has been in charge of the house for many years, and it will be better in July and August this year because of miscarriage. The garden is handed over to Sister Bao, and Sister Zhu and I take care of it. Sister Bao is the most appropriate to manage the house, and she can always be fully prepared."
The snowflakes outside the wooden window of Luxuean were still falling. Amber, Ping'er, Qingwen and other girls came in to add carbon fire. Jia Mu ordered: "Add more pots in Cong'er's place, he is injured, right?"
Qingwen smiled and carried the carbon stove over. Jia Cong got up and thanked her. She was not very steadily even standing. She always had to support her waist back and sat down without saying anything. Although Jia Mu wanted to save something, some things could not be saved no matter what.
Jia Cong was used to living a life of poor relatives in his previous life. Those experiences allowed him to adapt to such a big family quickly, but he was prone to losing his bottom line, being indifferent, and not much belief in persistence. The wounds of the court stick can heal, but if there is a crack in his heart, he will never be sewn in his life.
Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed with gloomy. With Baochai's means, she helped the Jia family manage the Grand View Garden before she married. Now that she is not only legitimate, but Jia Cong has become the outside owner of the Jia family. Baochai, the grandmother, naturally, has become the old lady's attitude towards Jia Cong. Wang Xifeng has never stood up, and her parents' family has already lost, so how can she fight?
It is really a warm and cold relationship, like a person drinking water.
Jia Mu nodded, and her hair on both sides of her forehead was already gray. She was in her eighty-year-old, and her eyes narrowed into slits. "Daiyu, the happiest thing about Baochai's relationship is me, the old woman. When Zheng'er comes home, even if his flesh and blood are reunited, Cong'er still has to take office and investigate... Cong'er has traveled across the country and will be able to start a show in our family next year. Have you heard of any good opera gang?"
This is a test of Jia Cong. Jia Cong's answer will show whether he is still worried about Jia Mu's partiality a few years ago.
After all, except for giving symbolic rewards once or twice, Jia Mu never had any support and encouragement to Jia Cong. Even if she gave rewards, she would still disgust Jia Cong with Jia Baoyu.
It was this relatively enlightened old man who had always stubbornly believed that Baoyu was auspicious from heaven, and his concubine's son was naturally inferior in his heart.
Almost all of the people here are exquisite and sophisticated. When Sanchun heard it, one of them understood, but Shi Xiangyun didn't understand it very much. Look left and right, and drink a glass of wine from time to time. His snowy cheeks were flushed, like a red apple, simple and transparent.
"Didn't the Hui troupe come to Beijing a few years ago? It was developed in Huizhou and sang Peking Opera well. Brother Qiang bought twelve of them in Suzhou, including Kunqu and Yiyang sings." Jia Cong made excuses, it was too late for him.
To be honest, Jia Cong can see the people who are good to him clearly, and most of them will be rewarded. Even if he had murderous intentions against Sun Fu and Jia She, his bottom line will gradually blur. After all, Sun Fu has rewarded him a lot because of the unimplementation of various concerns. He can become a rich man by taking out the silver to the common people. Jia She collected four or five hundred acres of land in his name, and the account has not been settled yet. It can be regarded as his reward. Not to mention Mrs. Xing, she did nothing and had an additional imperial decree.
The rewards Jia Cong gave them now exceeded investment.
And this Jia Mu, isn't it too late for her to change her attitude towards him now? It's too late! So what about the family? I haven't helped him a few years ago, and now I want him to repay him, why?
When he was working hard to fight at night, he had been holding the candle for six years and could not let go of his eight-legged essays. No one could share the hard work and worries inside and outside before getting married! Of course, he never called out a word of pain!
Since it is fate, then let's go your own fate!
Xue Baochai wanted to speak but stopped. Of course, she didn't want to break the family relationship and secretly thought about going back and persuading him.
The girls had different thoughts, and Jia Baoyu didn't speak either.
"All those have passed." Jia Mu sighed, meaningfully: "After all those actors have been released, let's talk about them later."
"It's getting late in the future." As soon as Jia Cong finished speaking, Lu Xue'an became quiet again. Xiangling happened to come in and replied: "There are two masters in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, one of the governors, and one of the political consultants asked to see Mr. Cong."
"Since you are busy with official business, please leave." Jia Mu felt deeply regretful at this time. She was old. Once she passed away, the Wang family fell and Baoyu could not take care of herself. What should Daiyu and the others do?
Jia Cong had no intention of staying for a long time, so he withdrew. He climbed over the mountain road west of Luxuean. Sure enough, he heard the "Oh Wo Chicken Outside the Fence" in Daoxiang Village. He thought that the next six years of Beijing-level official inspection would be the candidates for the cabinet. These are closely related to him and his alliance.
Where is his future? The best situation is that he will be promoted to the cabinet, and he will be promoted to the six ministers, the Censorate, the Tongzheng Department, and the Jiuji of Dali Temple. The Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel and the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel were given a list. Among the nine ministers, his friendship was limited to Liu Dongsheng, Wang Yingyuan, and the Minister of War Jia Yucun. It seems that it is imperative to let Mrs. Baochai have diplomatic relations, and take advantage of the New Year.
The key is that although Jia Cong is not low in fame and his age and qualifications are a flaw, it is too difficult to rise in a short period of time. It is possible that the Hanlin Academy will be revised and renamed the Censor, the Administrator of the School, the Six Sections, and the Doctor of the Six Divisions, and there are no clear regulations on these.
However, if you enter the cabinet, you will not be able to apply for the emperor's special order, and you will be attacked by all officials. Moreover, it is unlikely that the emperor will give him a special order. Then, if you serve as an inspector and the admiral of academic affairs, you will have the best qualifications for him. On the one hand, you will be directly responsible to the emperor and win the emperor's trust. On the other hand, you can cultivate disciples and forces.
The most important step is to support King Yu to take the throne. Otherwise, no matter whether King Qin or Prince Zhongshun takes the throne, he, the lecturer of King Yu, would definitely be cleaned up and penetrated into the abyss and be doomed.
There are too many things to consider.
The road to the future is too long.
The snow in front of me was covered with snow, the earth was so clean. Jia Cong didn't know who could accompany him to the end, his colleagues, wives and concubines, ambitions and ideals?
