Chapter 33: The Thirty-third Day of Transfiguration as Jia Mu
Chapter 33 The 33rd day of being Jia Mu's mother
『23333, I sacrificed my son to fulfill my father's wish, is that ok』
『666, Da Sheshe still has such a unique way of thinking.』
『Poor Jia Lian just got promoted, he is so happy.』
『Bad news from heaven.』
『What does that An Guogong have in mind?』
『This wave took Jia Lian away, will they take Baoyu away next, 23333, no good, xswl』
『By the way, what is Da Sheshe thinking, he still wants Jia Lian to carry on the family line, why did he suddenly let him join the army?』
『The host wants Jia Lian to help her open a hotel, but I am afraid it won't work.』
...
After a chaotic battle, Jia Lian was sent to the warm room, and a maid immediately went to invite a doctor.
After the old lady was done with this, she waited for the netizens' words "The anchor wants Jia Lian to help her open a hotel, but it's not going to work", and secretly prayed.
She held the sandalwood stick in her hand, and endured it again and again, and didn't call out directly.
"Kneel down." He dragged Jia She back to the outer room, "What are you thinking, with Lian'er's physique, is he suitable for joining the army?" Jia
She waited for Yuanyang to spread a mat on the ground, and then said aggrievedly, "The old man wanted our family to have a talent before he died, but it's a pity that my second brother didn't pass the imperial examination..."
The old lady looked at him suspiciously with the corners of her mouth curved, as if she was gloating, "You are amazing, then are you 'a literary man who can write to pacify the world', or 'a martial man who can ride a horse to determine the fate of the world'? Just like you said, your brother is now a deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, and you?"
Since the incident with Li Shi'er, Jia Zheng, who was originally sure to be promoted when he returned, became a deputy minister of the Ministry of Works again.
Therefore, Jia Zheng hated Li Shi'er.
Hearing the old lady's criticism, Jia She's slightly raised mouth suddenly collapsed, "So I'm not planning to let Lian go to the army." Old
lady: ...Excuse me, what is the cause and effect relationship here
? Jia She is still explaining, "I see clearly, there is a tigress in him..."
"Bang", several gold and silver ingots that the old lady used to reward the doctor just now hit Jia She's forehead, "It's unbecoming!" Even modern people don't have a father-in-law who says his daughter-in-law is a "tigress" behind her back.
Jia She said "Ouch", knowing that he had said something wrong. Skip this section, "My son wants Lian to start a career now that he is not in a hurry to have a son. There is a saying that goes 'First establish a career, then... then...'"
"Then start a family", haha, but Jia Lian has already started a family. "
"First establish a career, then have a son", 23333, this is possible. '
'Does he think that with Wang Xifeng around, Jia Lian will never have a son in his life? Even if he does, the result will definitely not be good, otherwise he would not leave his name in the family tree. ' '
But Wang Xifeng has gone home now. '
The old lady took a look, 'I suppressed this matter. Except for Mrs. Wang and a few people who vaguely guessed, the men in the family should not know what Wang Xifeng did. ' '
In other words, in the eyes of others, Wang Xifeng just went back to her parents' home. '
'No wonder. ' '
But it's too early to be sure that Jia Lian has no son now. Why doesn't he struggle again? Even if he doesn't struggle, he can still adopt a son. ' '
Maybe Dasheshe didn't give up struggling. In ancient times, raising a son was a way to prepare for old age, and another way was to inherit the family property. If possible, no one would be willing to adopt a son. '
'He struggled. Jia Lian joined the army. As long as he came back with a golden medal, at least he would be confident enough to overwhelm Xifeng!'
'23333, this overwhelm Xifeng, it's a good use.'
'It's also possible that it was for Jia Lian's future. When the title was passed to Jia Lian, he would be a second-class general. Of course, it might be more than one level down. But no matter what, he might be suppressed by the second house like his father. But if he made meritorious service after joining the army, it would be different. ' '
Really? Is that what Jia She thinks?'
...
Facts have proved that Jia She didn't think so. He tried hard to save his dignity, "When Lian'er has a promising future, I will go to the ancestral temple and ask the ancestors to bless Lian'er to give birth to a big fat son. In this way, I will have explained to the old master."
'Puff, I feel dazed. It's you, Da She She!'
'It's you!'
'It's you! +1'
'It's you! +2'
...
The old lady's eyes were straight, "Then have you asked your son if he wants to? Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to come back if you are not careful?" Swords and knives have no eyes. Jia Lian is just a pretty boy.
"Don't worry, old lady. I have already talked to the Duke of Anguo. With him taking care of it, there will be no problem. Besides, the Duke of Anguo's son Qingyuan, whom you like, will also join the army. At that time, the two of them will have someone to take care of." Jia She patted his chest, full of confidence.
The old lady was tired, and at this moment, someone in front of her came to urge her again. The old lady waved her hand lazily, "Go, go, go." Don't show up in front of her, she was afraid that she could not help but beat the man up. Today is not a good day for bloodshed.
However, there is one person who cannot be let go. The old lady immediately sent someone to the mansion of the Duke of Anguo,
and asked the Duke of Anguo to come to the mansion for a chat. After the arrangements were made, Jia Lian woke up slowly, and the old lady took the group to the front hall to enjoy the imperial meal.
At the table, everyone else was smiling, whether they were sincere or fake. Except for Jia Lian who looked dazed, and Baoyu who was not in good shape. The
old lady was a little busy recently, and now that she noticed Baoyu, she remembered that the boy had been missing since Qin Keqing's funeral.
After the meal, while they were drinking tea, the old lady called Baoyu over, "Where have you been these past two days?"
When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng looking over, she hurriedly said, "I think his father's birthday is coming soon, and he is worried about finding a gift for his father."
Jia Zheng stroked his beard, his expression relaxed, "No need to do those empty things, just study hard." Baoyu nodded hurriedly.
"It's Jia Zheng's birthday, isn't it that Jia Yuanchun is going to be made a concubine?
" "At this time, the only person who makes Baoyu worried is Qin Zhong. The little nun Zhizhi found Qin Zhong's house, and Qin Ye was almost angry to death. '
...
When it comes to "Yuanchun's consort", "Grand View Garden" and "silver" come to mind again.
The old lady no longer cares about Baoyu, and just starts to count the silver with her friends.
"Today's reward is about 11,000 taels."
"In the past, the two manors managed by Jia Lian have been increasing in three or four years. In addition to the profits for Jia Lian and his wife, there are also the purchases of sacrificial fields and school fields, which amount to about 25,000 taels. '
'In addition, the sacrificial fields, school fields, and surrounding houses and fields, in addition to the supply of private schools and sacrificial offerings, can also be allocated 30,000 taels. ' '
So there are 66,000 taels, plus what can be taken out
from the public funds of the Rong and Ning mansions. ' The old lady hurriedly said, 'In the past few years, I have deliberately used the sacrificial fields to blackmail Mrs. Wang, and the phenomenon of eating up the next year's food in the current year has been reversed. The public funds of the Rongguo Mansion can take out 500,000 taels. I don't know about the Ningguo Mansion. '
'At least Qin Keqing's funeral was not as extravagant as in the book, so let's call it 300,000 taels. '
"Ningguo Mansion may not have so much." "
More refunds and less supplements."
"That's 860,000 taels." "
The Grand View Garden was not built in a day. There are always things to be done in the process of construction." "
Let's not count this for now."
"What needs to be counted is the silver that Jia Mansion has stored in various places, such as the 50,000 taels of the Zhen family; plus some small things, such as the copied Mantou Temple. A total of 1.2 million taels. "
The old lady asked, "Is 1.2 million taels enough?"
"No, according to the calculation, the Grand View Garden will cost about 2 to 3 million taels. I guess you have to exchange points for it."
The old lady was relieved when she heard it, "Okay, I didn't plan to build the Grand View Garden too lavishly. Emptying the family's funds to build those flashy things is a brain disease. "
"Yes, otherwise it will become the emperor's target again. "
"This Grand View Garden must be built. After all, it is the emperor's concubine who is visiting her parents; but it can't be built too ostentatiously. '
'Too ostentatious, the family will be confiscated again. '
'It's a pity that the Grand View Garden can't be built. '
'Wow, we are still waiting to restore the Grand View Garden. '
'It's good this way, the moon is full and then it wanes. '
...
The old lady nodded frequently, 'I can also find Jia Zheng and his wife, and count the wealth they confiscated from Zhou Rui and Li Shi'er, after all, their daughters are made concubines. '
'Good idea, it's better to confiscate Lai Dajia and Lin Zhixiao's family as well, so that their two families can be considered rich. '
'No hurry, no hurry. ' The old lady smiled, 'Let's take it one step at a time, slowly. '
Just when the old lady felt at ease and was chatting with netizens, Jia Baoyu sneaked out and rode his horse to Qin's house.
He was quite upset because he suddenly brought Zhineng'er to the door, and when Zhineng'er and Qin Zhong were intimate, Qin Ye saw him, and Qin Ye immediately got very angry. Not only did he drive Zhineng away, he also beat Qin Zhong.
Qin Ye was so angry that his old illness recurred and he was bedridden.
Baoyu felt that he was mostly responsible for this, so he went to visit the Qin family from time to time.
Qin Ye was weak, and although he didn't give him a cold face when he woke up, he was also polite and distant; Qin Zhong was sick, and after being beaten by Qin Ye, his already weak body became even more seriously ill.
This made Baoyu very uncomfortable. He only realized now that he did things without thinking, which seemed nothing to him, was completely different in the eyes of others.
Etiquette, etiquette, are nothing but shackles that mediocre people put on themselves. Why can't they get along with themselves?
Li Gui, who was beside Baoyu, saw that Master Bao was going to the Qin family again, and he couldn't help but frowning. If the old ancestor knew about this, he was afraid that he would not have the good life of Mingyan.
Therefore, he could not help but persuade, "My second master, we have done enough. We have invited the doctor and prescribed the medicine. Let's not go and face other people's cold faces."
Baoyu glanced at him, but when he saw the Qin Mansion, he was still timid.
Li Gui happened to persuade again, "Why don't you go visit Lord Lin? I heard that Uncle Lin's condition has improved a lot. You should go and see him."
When Baoyu heard this, he really turned his head away. Saohong and others also persuaded him. Baoyu then said, "Then let's go see Uncle Lin first. I haven't seen Sister Lin for several days."
Li Gui and others immediately smiled, and they rode their horses to the old house of the Lin family.
