My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 231 Convincing Jia Mu

Seeing what Yuanchun said, Tanchun nodded and said: "Who says it's not the case.

Our house is now very thin. Although I already have my sister, me and Qingwen, only my sister is pregnant now.

A family like this can't develop at all if it doesn't have several generations. It relies on the master alone to support it. Naturally, it cannot compare with the foundation of Ning Rong's second house. "

Yuan Chun asked again: "Then do you know how Brother Rong is doing with the Chengjue matter now?"

Tanchun thought for a while, "I heard from Young Madam Rong that someone from the Zongren Mansion seemed to have mentioned that the title that the Zongren Mansion plans to inherit to Brother Rong is the fifth-grade Longjing Lieutenant."

"Fifth rank dragon forbidden captain?" Yuanchun couldn't help but exclaimed, "How can it be so low?"

No wonder Yuan Chun exclaimed, even though Jia Zhen's previous rank was only a hereditary third-class noble general, "third-class hereditary noble" is a hereditary third-class noble.

The "third rank" here is by no means the third rank for officials in the imperial court, because in Daxia, there are no generals with hereditary titles who are of the third rank, and the lowest is from the first rank. Jia Zhen's mighty general is undoubtedly a general from the first rank, but he does not have actual duties. That’s all.

This is completely different from the third-rank General Zhaoyong who Jia Yu was canonized before. General Zhaoyong is a wandering official. Once the case is canonized, it must be given to someone with real power. For example, when Emperor Changping canonized Jia Yu as General Zhaoyong, Worked part-time as commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division

Jia Zhen's third-grade hereditary title, General Weilie, is different. This thing is just a hereditary title and is only symbolic.

Jia She and Jia Zheng have been like this in their lives. As for Jia Lian and Baoyu, the former is a middle-aged man, and the latter... don't mention it.

"It's so low." Tan Chun sighed softly, "Nowadays, Ningguo Mansion has long lost its former glory. In addition, Brother Zhen has never been favored by the royal family. Being able to serve as a dragon guard is already a death wish for Mr. Ning." It’s for the Duke’s sake, otherwise maybe even the title will be taken back.”

Mentioning Jia Huan, Tan Chun also showed a smile on his face, but he said: "Sister, don't praise him yet, don't tell me how long Huan'er can last.

Tanchun was modest at first, but in the end he started to worry.

That's really what I paid for with my life. How many times did my life hang by a thread, how many times did I escape from death.

Even if he is successful in martial arts and the master is willing to support him, he still has to strive for his own success.

Yuanchun patted Tanchun's little hand and sighed softly: "Outsiders only envy us sisters for marrying well. The emperor rewarded our master with a hereditary and irreplaceable earl, but who knows how many dangers our master has experienced. .

Although Tanchun and Yuanchun are not very close to Ningguo Mansion, Ningrong and Ningrong Mansion have been in the same spirit for many years, and it can be said that they are both prosperous and disadvantaged.

"Sister, just understand."

How could our government not be like this? Just one wrong step and you will follow in the footsteps of your uncle. "

And I heard from the master that although the situation in the Xuanda area has calmed down now, the Liaodong and southwest coastal areas are still not peaceful.

Yuan Chun sighed softly and said to Tan Chun: "Sister, I think Brother Huan is a good person. These days, he comes to our house to practice martial arts every day before dawn, and after returning in the afternoon, he goes to the clan school to study. It's like a different person.

But the battlefield is dangerous and dangerous. If you want to make achievements, you have to risk your life. I would rather they not take this risk. "

Now the line of Ningguo Mansion has declined at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although Rongguo Mansion is better on the surface, it is actually supported by Jia Mu, the Duke's wife.

Especially on the Liaodong front line. After we signed an agreement with Totuo Buhua last time, Nurhaci withdrew his troops after seeing that he could not get any advantage, but he robbed tens of thousands of people from Liaodong.

Thinking of this, the two women couldn't help but have a deep sadness on their faces.

Once Jia Mu passes away a hundred years later, Rongguo Mansion will definitely not be much better.

Qin Rong's fifth-grade dragon guard is one level lower than the third-grade mighty general. This title is not hereditary. After Jia Rong inherits this title, his descendants will not be able to inherit it. This also means that The title of Ning Guofu was about to end after it was passed to Jia Rong.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about our uncle, who has served the imperial court cautiously over the years, but because of the defeat in Tongguan, he was fired from all his positions by the imperial court, and he can only stay at home now.

I remember that my husband once promised that if Brother Huan succeeds in martial arts in a year and a half, he will be accepted as a personal soldier. He will only need to practice with my husband for a few years and learn the skills before he is released. It also started from a hundred households, so Aunt Zhao would have someone to rely on in the future. "

The man said, there must be a decisive battle between Daxia and Houjin.

When the two sisters finished speaking, they all sighed in unison.

Qingwen, who was on the side, consoled her: "Why do you two ladies need to worry? Anyway, we will be the master's people for the rest of our lives.

If the master is born, we will be born too. If the master has an accident with his car, we will naturally follow him. Why worry about the future? "

Qingwen's words also made the two girls stunned for a while. Yuan Chun looked at her with some surprise. After a long time, he smiled and said to Tan Chun: "Sister, we pretend to be sisters who have studied for several years, but we are all It’s not as clear as Qingwen’s.”

Tan Chun also had a look of approval, took Qingwen's hand and sighed: "Although Qingwen has never studied, it is just like that. She has a simple and direct character in her body. No wonder the master likes her so much." She even named her to take care of her every time I took a bath.

Qingwen hurriedly works harder and gives birth to a son and a half daughter for the master as soon as possible, so that the master can promote you as his aunt.

Then I beg my sister to give you a yard and let you be the master for a while. What do you think? "

Qingwen instantly blushed with embarrassment, then lowered her head and said, "I don't want to be a master. I just want to be a maid beside the master, as long as I can serve the master."

Looking at Qingwen's shy look, Yuan Chun and Tan Chun couldn't help but laugh.

If they had not known Qingwen for many years and knew her well, they would have thought that Qingwen was a scheming woman. It was only the two of them who knew her well that they understood that Qingwen was speaking from her heart.

This maid, who usually has a bad temper, is devoted to Jia Yu, even if she lets her die without any hesitation. No wonder her husband loves and trusts her so much. Whether it is washing, warming the bed, or She is responsible for all kinds of personal services.

"correct."

Tan Chun suddenly remembered something and said to Yuan Chun: "Sister, I almost forgot something.

Baoyu and Sister Lin have been getting along day and night over the years. Although they often quarrel, everyone can see Baoyu's thoughts on Sister Lin.

This time, Sister Lin has become the master's wife. If Baoyu knew about it, wouldn't he cause a commotion? "

Yuanchun frowned, "That's a problem, everyone can see the pampering of Baoyu by our ancestors these years.

It would be bad if the big guys get into trouble again because of this matter, especially with my husband's temper. If we make another big fuss in the Eiji Mansion, it will really make the nobles of Shenjing laugh. "

As Jia Yu's bed partner and having been married to Jia Yu for so long, Yuan Chun also has a certain understanding of Jia Yu's temper.

She could vaguely feel that Jia Yu was not very fond of Ning Rong in the second house.

It was only because of her relationship with Tanchun that she had to accept everyone from Ning Rong's second house. Without the bond between herself and Tanchun, Jia Yu would most likely have no contact with the Jia family until death. Arriving here first, she sighed, "Sister, I think we need to tell our ancestors about this in advance so that they can prepare in advance.

Otherwise, if I wait until my husband comes back and tell them abruptly, I'm afraid Baoyu won't be able to bear it for a while. "

Tanchun nodded helplessly: "Sister is right, it is better to choose the day than to hit it. I will go to Rongguo Mansion today to tell my ancestors about this."

Yuanchun should have told Jia Mu personally about this matter, but she was about to give birth, so she had to let her sister do it for her.

Tanchun was a smart and capable person. After returning to his yard and changing his clothes, he took his maid, Shishu, and was escorted by several wives and soldiers to Rongguo Mansion.

Jia's mother, who was chatting with Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng in Rongqing Hall, heard her mother-in-law coming to report, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's so out of character, why did this girl Tanchun come here suddenly?"

Sister Feng said from the side: "Maybe the third girl hasn't seen our ancestors for a long time and misses you too much, so she came to visit you."

"What's so good about me, an old woman?"

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Now that Yuanchun is about to give birth, taking care of her is the most important thing.

The old lady can't wait to see what her great-grandson looks like. "

While everyone was talking, Tan Chun entered Rongqing Hall accompanied by Shi Shu.

"Ancestor...mother..."

As soon as Tanchun said hello, Jia Mu smiled and waved to her: "Third girl, come here quickly and sit down."

"Yes!"

When Tanchun sat down, Jia Mu took her hand and asked with a smile: "Third girl, you are not with your sister in Uncle Dingyuan's house, why did you come to this old lady?"

"Ancestor, it's like this..."

Tanchun did not delay, and stated his intention in detail, and finally said: "My sister and grandson both understand that Baoyu has always had a soft spot for sister Lin, but after all, things have happened, and my sister and grandson want to It is better to inform the old lady and mother about this in advance and think of a way to make Baoyu accept it."

After hearing Tanchun's words, Jia Mu also frowned and said with some displeasure:

"How come Lin Yatou, the daughter of a noble prince and a prostitute, became Brother Yu's second-in-command wife?

Moreover, our court has already stipulated that the ministers in the court want to serve concurrently, and they must obtain a favor from His Majesty or the Queen. Could it be that Brother Yu wants to use all the grace he has earned with his life on this? "

"That's not true."

Tanchun explained: "It was actually Uncle Lin's idea to betroth Sister Lin to the master and make her his wife.

After the master went to Yangzhou, Uncle Lin was already seriously ill and bedridden. After seeing the master, Uncle Lin was afraid that no one would take care of Sister Lin after his death, so he wrote a will to His Majesty, begging Your Majesty to betroth Sister Lin to him. I'll do it for the master.

His Majesty agreed to Uncle Lin's request because of his dedicated service to the court over the years.

Although Uncle Lin was later pulled back from the hands of Prince Yama by Dr. Wang who followed the master to Yangzhou, the deal was already done. How could he take back what he had said?

So it became a foregone conclusion. "

Although Tanchun tried his best to explain, Jia's mother was still very unhappy. She was so angry that she slammed the table: "Since the person is fine, naturally there is no way to do this. Why doesn't Ruhai understand this?"

Brother Yu has already brought my two precious granddaughters into his house. Could it be that he won’t let go of my most beloved granddaughter now?

Seeing Jia Mu's anger, Tanchun didn't know how to respond, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, Brother Yu can't be entirely blamed for this.

Ruhai even accepted his legacy, and His Majesty agreed to his request. If he suddenly regrets it at this time, wouldn't it be deceiving the emperor?

What do you want Ruhai to tell His Majesty? "

For Mrs. Wang, Daiyu's life or death is not important to her at all.

His ideal daughter-in-law has always been the gentle and generous Baochai.

It would be extremely difficult for a frail woman like Daiyu to give birth to more children for the Jia family.

On the other hand, Baochai has a plump body, a big butt and a bulging breast. She looks like she is a good childbearer. This is the ideal daughter-in-law candidate in her mind.

Now, I heard that Daiyu had been betrothed to Jia Yu as a side chick, and she was actually happy to see it happen.

Jia Mu turned to look at Mrs. Wang. In fact, Jia Mu had always known what her second daughter-in-law was thinking, but she couldn't say anything yet. She could only express her thoughts in a vague way.

Seeing that Jia Mu was a little unhappy, Tanchun smiled and said, "There is no need to be angry, ancestors. The master also said in the letter that after the incident in Yangzhou is over, Uncle Lin will be recalled to the capital soon.

I heard that Your Majesty also thinks highly of Uncle Lin. Your Majesty will definitely use Uncle Lin very much this time when he returns to Beijing.

If you, the old man, have something to say to Uncle Lin, it would not be too late to tell him in detail after Uncle Lin returns to Beijing. "

"That's all."

Mother Jia suddenly became a little uninterested and waved her hand, "The girls have grown up one by one and have their own ideas. I, the old woman, can't control it. You can do whatever you like."

Speaking of this, Jia Mu glanced around, and finally stopped at Tanchun's pretty face: "Tanchun... I know that there are only two of you sisters in Uncle Dingyuan's house now.

The eldest girl is pregnant again, and the whole family relies on one person to support her. Look at your little face, it has become thinner after not seeing her for a month. "

"Thanks for the compliment, ancestor, my grandson is not suffering."

Tanchun smiled sweetly, how could she be bitter?

It can be said that the period of marrying Jia Yu was the happiest time in her life.

There are no mothers-in-law or father-in-law to serve above, and there is no need to set rules.

And the main wife is his biological sister, and he is also in charge of the backyard of Dingyuan Uncle's Mansion. Such a life is not very comfortable.
