Chapter 158: Pretending to be Mysterious
As the head of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng is the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and everything that happens to him is a major event.
After a while, Yingchun, Daiyu and other sisters, Mrs. Xing, Youshi and others came one after another to listen to the news.
The spacious hall was quickly filled with people. Even so, it was very quiet. Except for Jia Mu and a few others, no one else dared to say a word.
Though the elder ladies of the clan behind the screen were embarrassed to come out to meet Jia Lian due to Jia Lian's presence, they did not want to leave early.
Rongguo Mansion is the "weather vane" of the entire Jia clan, even the head of the Jia Ningguo Mansion is inferior. Therefore, any disturbance here may affect the interests, life and death of the entire family. Before it is confirmed, They didn't want to leave either.
After hiding in the screen for a long time, Jia Lian showed no intention of leaving, and Jia Mu seemed to have forgotten them. Simply because there were more people outside, there were fewer taboos, so under the leadership of a more generous person, they all walked out.
Sure enough, the people in power in the two houses had no intention of being polite to them at this time. They were all thinking about their own things or communicating in low voices. They also recognized their interest and sat in their inconspicuous positions. .
Even among them, one or two of them had flirted with Jia Lian and flirted with each other. When they saw Jia Lian in the middle of the crowd, they didn't even look at him, and they were all secretly jealous and complaining.
But he didn’t dare to show it at all, so at this moment, Wang Xifeng put aside the things there and rushed over wearing a filial piety belt to see the situation.
Hearing that Jia Lian seemed to know something, Sister Feng didn't hesitate. She walked to Jia Lian and bumped the sitting Jia Lian's shoulder. When Jia Lian turned around, she asked: "Hey, you How do you know it's a good thing? Could it be that your request for the title is about to come down, or the master is about to be promoted?"
Sister Feng has been thinking about Jia Lian's request for the title recently. Because Jia Lian's title was obtained, she could prepare to apply for a royal title.
Jia Lian glanced at her and said to himself: Does my invitation have anything to do with Jia Zheng?
It just so happened that Yingchun, Tanchun and others were also restless, so they all came with Sister Feng to find out the gossip. In addition, Jia Lian also wanted to show some "extraordinary abilities" in front of Sister Feng, so he did not answer her. Instead, he turned to look at Er Bao and asked casually:
"Brother Bao, Can you still recall the appearance of your biological sister, the eldest daughter of our family?"
Jia Baoyu, who was sitting bored, was stunned when he heard this.
Of course he knew that he had a biological eldest sister, but he entered the palace when he was four or five years old, and then heThere has been no news for many years...
In fact, some news came back, but Jia Baoyu didn't care at all.
In his heart, no matter how beautiful or outstanding his sister is, as long as she enters the palace, she is just a commoner. Humph, why bother using your perfectly innocent daughter to be tainted by that old emperor!
Therefore, Jia Baoyu didn’t care much about the status of his biological sister. Suddenly asked by Jia Lian, he was speechless for a moment.
Jia Baoyu doesn’t care, but it doesn’t mean that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang don’t care. Although they are sitting, their attention is always on Jia Lian. After all, there are so many people present, but Jia Lian is the only one who looks like this. "Have a plan in mind."
Hearing Jia Lian's words at this time, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes, but they unanimously did not interfere and waited attentively for Jia Lian and others to continue.
Sure enough, Sister Feng did not disappoint Jia Mu and others, and immediately asked: "What, you mean, this matter has something to do with the eldest daughter of our family??"
There are many reasons why Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have such a respected status in the Jia family.
Mrs. Wang’s natal family was strong, Jia Zheng was an official in the court, and Jia Zheng and his wife were in charge of the Rongguo Mansion. These were all reasons.
In addition, their eldest daughter serves as the female historian next to the nobles in the palace. This is also a reason!
Even if she is just a female historian and a slave, she is still a slave beside a noble person. At critical moments, you can talk to noble people!
Not to mention, this noble person is the emperor’s biological mother, the concubine. With this alone, others would not dare to bully Jia Zheng and others.
Therefore, even though Jia Yuanchun has been away from home for many years, her influence has never been completely cut off.
It’s just that she has been in the palace for too many years. From a young girl to now, her time is passing by. Even Jia Mu and others think that Yuanchun’s contribution to the family will stop here. Even Jia Mu would sometimes wake up from her dreams in the middle of the night and secretly regret that she should not have listened to the advice of Jia Zheng and others, and should not have sent her precious granddaughter to a place where no one would see her, like the palace, to pursue a vague hope.
Jia Yuanchun, like Sanchun, was raised by Jia’s mother.
So over the years, people in the family gradually stopped mentioning Yuanchun, because they were afraid that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang would be sad.
At this moment, Jia Lian suddenly mentioned it! They all know that Jia Lian is not a person who talks nonsense. Since Jia Lian mentioned it like this, there must be a reason. For a while, Jia Mu and others' hearts were agitated.
Jia Lian also saw the babbling eyes of Jia Mu and others, and knew that they were certain in their hearts at this time.Jia Lian was in a state of confusion, and a kind of pleasure called foresight lingered in Jia Lian's heart. I thought that Mrs. Wang would be proud of her later, and even after gaining support and feeling confident, she would dare to confront him... But at least at the moment, he was the happy one.
So he still ignored Sister Feng directly, only looked at Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Bao is interested in changing to a bright and noble identity?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stand up and scolded Jia Lian half to death in her heart: If you have something to say, you can't say it clearly. People who seduce people like this will feel itchy...
Mrs. Wang is a smart person. , excluding the possibility that Jia Lian was talking nonsense, Jia Lian actually meant something straight!
It’s just this that matters so much to her that she doesn’t even dare to have such extravagant hopes for a while.
Could it be that the eldest sister was attracted by the emperor? Do you want to keep it yourself, or give it to some prince or prince? Can I have a noble status?
Talented person? promise? Concubine?
Too many uncertainties made Mrs. Wang feel very uncomfortable. If Jia Lian was his son, she would definitely step forward and grab his ears at this time and ask him to recruit him quickly!
There were many smart people in the room. For a while, everyone looked at the Jia Lian brothers, waiting for them to continue talking.
Jia Baoyu felt a little weak due to such a posture, and said sarcastically: "I don't understand what the second brother Lian said, what openness, what noble status, I don't understand..."
< br />"Hahaha, it's okay if you don't understand now. Maybe you will understand later."
Jia Lian seemed to have casually chatted with Jia Baoyu for a few words, then turned around after speaking. , looking at Xiao Xichun standing in front of him, he reached out and tied the mourning scarf on her forehead again.
Xichun was still very young, and even when Jia Lian was sitting, he was even with her forehead.
He retreated freely this time, and his behavior was cool, but it made all the ladies in the hall feel very unhappy.
Sister Feng’s eyes were filled with annoyance, and she had no conscience and dared to ignore her!
When the others saw that Jia Lian didn’t even pay attention to Sister Feng, they were naturally very sensible and did not ask any questions...
