Chapter 227 The Virtuous Concubine
Shangjing, Jia Mansion, backyard.
When she heard the news that the Holy Emperor had once again sealed the Lin Mansion, Mother Jia was shocked and inexplicable.
Somewhat happy, after all Lin Daiyu is her granddaughter, but more confused, why?
Why not give her precious grandson Jia Baoyu a title?
"Old lady, this Granny Li is Baoyu's wet nurse and an old person in my Jia family. So forget it, Mr. Chen, who is highly respected and has taught her a lesson, but why doesn't Daiyu, as a junior, stop her? Is that ridiculous?" Mrs. Wang complained.
Jia Mu nodded: "That's outrageous, but after all, Granny Li is not from the Lin family, so she has no rules to teach her master at will.
In this way, second daughter-in-law, wait for tomorrow morning, you will bring a heavy gift and Granny Li will come to apologize."
Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded, she is an elder, why?
But thinking about the Lin family's tens of thousands of taels of silver and the little girl's title, I could only endure it.
Is it ridiculous that people can still care about money?
"Yes, mother!"
"Then, old lady, do you want to send another woman to serve Miss Lin?" Wang Xifeng asked.
Mother Jia thought for a moment and waved her hand: "Forget it. Since you won't be allowed to take charge of me, just stop taking care of it. With Mr. Chen's backing, who can mess with me in the capital?"
"Dong dong dong~"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"What's the matter?" Wang Xifeng asked impatiently.
The maid Ping'er rushed in, panting and shouting loudly: "There is a purpose, there is a purpose!"
"What?" Jia Mu quickly stood up, surprised and happy.
Could it be that the Holy One finally saw the merits of the Jia family’s phoenix eggs and came to reward them?
"Let's go and get the order quickly!"
The old lady, who usually moves tremblingly, walked faster than anyone else at this time.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and were a little excited.
The Jia family has not had the emperor's care for too long.
Soon, the entire Jia family had to move off the stage to watch the play. There was a pause in setting up the banquet, the incense table was set up, and they all knelt down at the middle gate to greet him.
After a while, General Manager Chen arrived on horseback, followed by many eunuchs in front, back and left, showing a strong faction.
Manager Chen did not accept the imperial edict and dismounted from his horse in front of the eaves. With a smile on his face, he walked to the hall, stood facing the south, and said loudly: "Special order: Immediately proclaim Jia Zheng's entry into the court and pay an audience at Linjing Hall."
After saying that, Manager Chen left on horseback without even taking a sip of tea.
Jia She and others didn't know what this meant, so they had to change their court clothes and enter the palace in a hurry.
Jia Mu and the rest of the family stayed at home in panic, not knowing what was going on. They even kept sending people flying to and from the palace gate to report news.
After two hours, I suddenly saw Lai Da and three or four other housekeepers panting and running into the Yimen to announce the good news.
"According to the master's order, please quickly ask the old lady to lead the ladies and others to the court to express gratitude."
Jia's mother was uneasy and stood in the corridor of the lobby. She even recalled everything she had done in the past few years. The wife, young lady and Aunt Xue were all together.
After hearing the news, Jia Mu called Lai Da into the house to ask for more clues.
Lai Dahui reported: "The young ones only waited outside the Linjing Gate, and could not know any information inside. Later, a young eunuch came out to congratulate us, saying that our eldest daughter Yuanchun was promoted to be the Minister of Fengzao Palace and was given the title of Concubine Xiande.
.
Later, the master came out and gave the same instructions to the younger ones. Now that the master has gone to the East Palace again, please quickly ask the old lady to lead the ladies to thank you."
After hearing this, Jia Mu and others felt at ease, and everyone else was instantly beaming with joy.
Then the old lady led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You and others to put on makeup and change clothes according to their respective ranks, and a total of four people entered the court in large sedans.
Ning Rong and Ning Rong were all excited and happy, with a look of pride on their faces. They were laughing and shouting with joy.
On the way into the palace, in the sedan chair, Wang Xifeng asked in a low voice: "Old lady, do you want to take Granny Li to the Lin Mansion to apologize tomorrow?"
Mother Jia rolled her eyes at her: "Recognize the current identity of our Jia family, the maternal clan of the noble lady, and the relatives of the emperor. From today on, we cannot and will not apologize to anyone!
Since Daiyu doesn’t know what’s good and what’s good, then you don’t need to worry about her from now on!”
Wang Xifeng was stunned, then hesitated for a moment and asked: "Well, old lady, the two manors that His Majesty gave to the Lin Mansion, as entrusted by my sister-in-law in the letter, are still in our hands. They said they would give us half of the proceeds and we must return them."
?"
Jia Mu hesitated and hesitated for a while before asking: "How much money do those two manors earn per year?"
"There are more than fifty acres of good fields, as well as orchards and mines, which add up to almost 5,000 taels a year!" Wang Xifeng said.
Mother Jia fell into deep thought: "Why can the Lin family's manor make so much money? Our banker still has to lose money?"
Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded. How could she know this? She was a woman and had never farmed before.
"Maybe. Maybe it's because the place is different, the water, soil, and fertile fields are different." Wang Xifeng stammered in explanation.
"Hey, Daiyu is a little girl, and she is also my direct granddaughter. How can she manage two manor by herself? We should continue to manage it!" Jia Mu said lightly.
"Yes!" Wang Xifeng replied happily.
All in all, except for Jia Baoyu, the young ladies and gentlemen in the mansion only have two or three hundred taels of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and more than two thousand taels of silver. Don't waste it.
…
In autumn, there is autumn rain and cold.
The drizzle is hazy and the clouds are rising;
Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing quickly walked to the lake, took some fish food and threw it into the lake.
The mountains in the distance are invisible, and the water nearby is rippled.
After feeding the fish for a while, Lin Daiyu simply took off her shoes and socks, exposing her green-white feet, stretched them into the water, and had fun.
Sitting on the edge of the stone steps, the girl folded her legs. Her legs were very long and thin. When they were folded together, her calves were seamlessly connected, showing a soft and fragile beauty.
Qin Keqing next to her looked extremely envious. She didn't know why. Although this little girl was so strong, she was so thin and weak.
Is this reasonable?
Before, she had thought about learning martial arts from this little girl to reduce the size of her chest and thighs, but she didn't know what happened. The more she practiced the strange physical skills, the more she felt wrong with her body.
To this day, she can't even look down at her toes, and even after taking a few steps, she feels like she's carrying a heavy load and is out of breath.
Every time when I take a bath with my sister-in-law and the little yellow cat, I always fail to play games.
Alas, what a failure in life!
"Meow~" "Plop~" The fish in the water were immediately frightened and ran away.
"Hehe~" Lin Daiyu seemed to know the result and continued to play in the water.
After a while, the girl lay down out of breath and said, "Sister Qin, why haven't Sister Tanchun and the others come to play with me recently?"
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "They have been busy coaxing Auntie Yuanchun recently."
"Huh? What's wrong with sister Yuanchun?" Lin Daiyu was surprised.
"The Holy Lord Rende has bestowed upon Sister Yuanchun the title of Imperial Concubine, and she will enter the palace in a few days. In the past few days, aunts and maids have come to the house to teach the rules, check the body, and supervise.
During this period, no one in the house was allowed to enter Aunt Yuanchun's house. At most, they could only stand outside the house and talk through a screen in their free time.
I heard that Sister Yuanchun has been crying all day long and is in a bad mood." Qin Keqing explained.
These are what she heard from the maid.
Although she is now the young mistress of the Ning Mansion, there is no man in the family, and even the old ladies in the manor have all kinds of gossip, saying that her father, Ke Fu Ke, is a black widow.
So almost no one came to play with her in the house.
Even if there are some important celebrations, the wives in Jia's family will at most send their maids to inform them. They will be indifferent whether they come or not. It is even better if they don't go, as they will not disturb the mood of the family reunion.
Only with the innocent Aunt Lin can she experience the happiness of her daughter's family and the happiness of life.
To be honest, those people who said she was a black widow really made her feel wronged.
She is not black!
"Ah?" Lin Daiyu was surprised: "Last time I visited my grandmother, I saw that everyone in the family was very happy. Why is sister Yuanchun unhappy?"
Qin Keqing sat next to the little girl, and Lin Daiyu quickly came up and rubbed her little head on her heart.
No wonder Lele likes to sleep here, it's so soft and smells like milk.
Qin Keqing patted the little girl's butt in her arms, waited for her to change into a more comfortable position, and said slowly: "Miss Lin, haven't you heard a sentence? Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. As long as you enter the palace
If you open the door, you will never be able to get out again.
