Chapter 234 Yuanyang's Parents
"Meet grandma!"
Wang Xifeng sat on a high couch, Ping'er stood beside her, and maids stood on both sides. Nanny Jin walked in and kowtowed.
"Ping'er, why don't you help Nanny Jin up!" Then, Wang Xifeng said, "Before coming here, Sister Yuanyang was still talking to me about you two old people. You two have been separated for many years and haven't seen each other. You must have worked hard."
Nanny Jin bowed and said, "It is our honor to have the master's trust, but it is not worth the hard work."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Sister Yuanyang is the most favored by the old lady. Without Sister Yuanyang, the old lady can't eat or sleep well. Otherwise, she would have come with me to see you. However, there is a good thing that you may not know yet."
"The old lady had been so kind to sister Yuanyang that she arranged for brother Cong to marry her. But now the old lady can't bear to leave sister Yuanyang, so she has to stay for two more years. In the future, sister Yuanyang will probably become my brother's concubine."
Nanny Jin was stunned for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "Brother Cong?"
"Yes, isn't he the eldest marquis of our family?"
Although the nanny's face remained calm, she was delighted in her heart. Being able to be the concubine of the Marquis, what a blessing and wealth it was! Her daughter had really made it. After all, even the most favored maid was still a servant, but being a concubine meant being half a master, and the status of the Marquis' concubine was naturally not low.
"The old lady thinks of our family and has given us this great grace. I can only repay her by serving her wholeheartedly."
Wang Xifeng smiled again and said, "So, our Marquis is your two elders' legitimate son-in-law. Although the Marquis has a high status, he has no close relatives here after all. The servants in the mansion may have some gossip. You two elders have taken care of the mansion for many years and are familiar with all the people. You still need to select some useful people to take care of all aspects. After all, there are ways to take care of the Marquis, but taking care of the son-in-law is even more different."
Nanny Jin quickly bowed and said, "Second Madam, why do you have to make fun of me? With my status, how dare I try to be related to the Marquis?"
"It is a blessing for Yuanyang to be with the Marquis. I can only serve the Marquis wholeheartedly."
"As for the affairs of the mansion, Second Madam, please rest assured. If anyone dares to talk too much, I will naturally tie him up and let Second Madam punish him. I will definitely not lose the dignity of our family."
"That's good!" Wang Xifeng nodded in satisfaction. "Since the Marquis has asked me to help receive guests from the various mansions, I will stay in Ningzheng Hall for a few days. These maids were originally given to the Marquis by the female officials of the Empress, so they will take care of the house. The nanny only needs to pick a few smart ones to guard the outer courtyard and serve you."
Nanny Jin quickly agreed.
In fact, the reason why Wang Xifeng said this was because she had her own little thoughts.
Before, they were all Jia Cong's people on the boat, so they were not afraid even if they were in the same room. However, the Ningguo Mansion had a lot of servants, so it was difficult to hide it from the chief steward. She first used the matter of Yuanyang to explain the relationship between Jia Cong and the couple of the Jin family, and then used both kindness and force.
In this way, even if the enemy wants to make trouble, these two people will help cover it up...
Jia Cong placed the coffin and the mourning hall in the front yard, and then hosted a banquet for everyone who had come.
The banquet was naturally lively. No matter whether it was Jia You and others or Jia Yucun and others, they were all very respectful, especially Jia Yucun, who bowed his head every time he spoke and listened respectfully.
It is no wonder that Jia Yucun was later promoted to the position of Grand Marshal. Such a person is like a fish in water in officialdom. Besides, which superior would not want to have such a smart, respectful, capable and helpful subordinate?
For Jia Yucun, Shangguan is his biological father. As long as Shangguan orders him to put his son in jail, he will not frown. However, this requires that he can suppress him in terms of power and official position. Otherwise, he will stab him with a knife without hesitation.
This knife can hurt others if used properly, and hurt yourself if used improperly.
You may hate Jia Yucun's character and bottom line, but you have to admit that it is this kind of people who are most likely to gain power, profit and be used in officialdom.
To those who are inferior to him, this man is definitely a greedy jackal, but to any superior, he is definitely a delicious bun...
The banquet did not end until midnight. Jia Cong asked Jia Yun and others to look after the mourning hall, while he went to the back house drunkenly.
When we got outside the main courtyard, we saw that Nanny Jin was guarding outside the courtyard with a few people.
"Hello, Master!"
Jia Cong stepped forward and said, "Madam, you don't have to be polite. Please stand up quickly! We are a family. Sister Yuanyang took good care of me in the capital."
"After another two years, Sister Yuanyang and I will discuss bringing you to Shenjing so that Sister Yuanyang and I can pay our respects to you."
"How can a servant like me say such things to you, Master!" Nanny Jin quickly bowed down and said, "It is such a blessing for us to be able to serve you, Master, but I dare not even dream of anything!"
Jia Cong helped Nanny Jin up and said with a smile, "Nanny, don't worry too much. I will take care of everything. Also, in the future, Sister Yuanyang will be by my side, so don't worry! Even if she is a concubine, she will be loved as she should be. You two elders just need to take care of your health. When Sister Yuanyang gives birth to a child for me in the future, I will still need your help."
Nanny Jin then smiled and said, "As long as he can still move , we will definitely take good care of the young master."
After chatting for a while, Jia Cong said, "I'll go in and talk to the Second Madam. It's so hot, you don't have to stay here. Go back and rest early."
"Thank you for your consideration, Master. These things are all my responsibility. Moreover, these children were selected by me personally and approved by Second Madam. They are all born in our family and are trustworthy. I will help support you outside the courtyard these days and will not delay Second Madam's business."
Hearing this, Jia Cong nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days, Madam."
After saying this, Jia Cong stepped into the main courtyard.
Nanny Jin turned her head and glanced at the maids behind her, then said sternly, "Our master is a marquis, and you know what you should see and hear, and what you shouldn't see and hear. The master has been living in the mansion these days. If he spreads something that shouldn't be spread, there are plenty of places at the mass grave outside the city."
Everyone nodded in response, then waited outside the door with their heads bowed respectfully.
Walking into the main hall, I saw Wang Xifeng sitting on a high couch. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with the treatment she received from an old lady.
When she saw Jia Cong come in, she got off the couch and greeted him happily.
