Chapter 129: Wang Xifenghu's Ci is Shameful to Ping'er
Jia Zheng personally led a group of boys to deliver the rewards Jia Lian received to Jia Mu's courtyard.
It’s no wonder that Jia Zheng made such a fuss. Although the Rongguo Mansion also received some rewards from the palace every year, they were all distributed uniformly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the family, and had no direct relationship with the emperor.
Moreover, the reason why the emperor personally rewarded Jia Lian with these things was because of military merit, military merit!
The Jia family has not heard this word for many years...
"Old lady, please see, these things were sent back by Lian'er. Yes, it was said that the emperor was rewarding him for his meritorious service on the border last year."
Jia Zheng asked the boys to stand in two rows, with the ones in the front holding gold and silver ingots and green ruyi, and those in the back holding gold and silver ingots. Those high-quality palace brocades.
Jia Mu, supported by two girls, came down the steps and took a slow look.
The gold and silver ingots were all small silver ingots, each weighing two ounces. Mother Jia could tell at a glance that they were indeed made exclusively for the imperial court.
A plate of gold and silver stacked neatly, taking up two wooden cases.
There is also a small and exquisite green Ruyi...
Jia Mu looked at them one by one, and then took a look at the twelve exquisite ones held by the three young men behind. Gong Jin felt for a moment that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.
She remembered that when the Duke was leading troops abroad, the old emperor always gave him something similar to this in order to reward his achievements...
"Okay, okay..." Jia Zheng The mother came back to her senses, said hello several times, and asked Jia Lian where he had gone.
"Today is the Lantern Festival. He needs to go to the Yamen to coordinate affairs, so he does not take a break." Jia Zheng replied.
Jia Mu sighed after hearing this. This is probably the reason why Jia She, Jia Zhen and others are unwilling to work as officials outside. Well, they can't even live a stable Lantern Festival, and they have to go to the Yamen. Busy inside.
It reminds me of what happened yesterday.
Fortunately, she was worried yesterday that Jia Lian was young and reckless and would offend the nobles in the palace. If the emperor is angered, not only will he be unable to serve as an official, but he will also be the source of disaster.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and sent the emperor's reward back to show her.
It was as if he told her clearly how unnecessary her worries yesterday were...
Yes, we still have to leave the outside matters to him.It's up to you guys to make the final decision. Jia Mu herself couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't openly agree to Mrs. Xiangyang Hou's request yesterday, otherwise, she might not be able to hide her face today.
Last night, she just pretended to ask Jia Lian casually. She realized that Jia Lian had already made up his mind, so she didn't pay much attention.
Jia Mu even decided that from today on, she would no longer treat Jia Lian as a junior, just as she did Jia Zheng, regardless of his official duties outside, and let them do whatever they wanted.
If she couldn’t see now that Jia Lian was highly valued by the emperor, she would have lived more than seventy years in vain.
Similarly, those who can see this are Aunt Xue and the ladies in each room next to her!
The emperor’s reward always has the meaning behind it, which is greater than the actual reward.
Therefore, at this time, everyone around was rushing to say congratulations to Jia Mu, and the good words were spread out like they were free of charge.
Many of them were directed towards Wang Xifeng.
At this time, this usually well-behaved granddaughter-in-law was like a country girl who had never seen the world. She could not move in front of those gifts given by the emperor, and her eyes were filled with all kinds of things. It looks like greed.
These are all earned without conscience!
I originally thought that the ginseng he got back last time was valuable enough, but when I saw him throwing it away without feeling any pain, it was like cutting her flesh
< br />In the past, in addition to the dowry she brought, she had been the home of Rongguo Mansion for several years. It was not an exaggeration to say that she calculated everything every day. With such hard work, in the past three or four years, I have only earned a few thousand taels of extra money...
But for those who are heartless, this reward alone is worth thousands of taels of silver!
Sure enough, it is much easier for a man’s family to make money than for a woman, even if she is the head of the government.
Wang Xifeng even vaguely guessed that Jia Lian must have saved a lot of private money... probably in his study, or in the hands of the two foreign women he brought back. inside.
Wang Xifeng had long wanted to give it to Jia Lian, but she didn't find a suitable opportunity.
Now it seems that there is no need for it. She vaguely feels that from now on, she will no longer have to worry about money. There is no conscience, just eat as much as you want!
All the women did not feel ashamed at all about Wang Xifeng's appearance, only full of envy.
Any woman would be so darling if she sees someone else’s husband sending such great wealth to her family., are all trembling uncontrollably. I wish my man could do the same thing tomorrow, so that I can be as beautiful as the person in front of me.
Jia Mu asked everyone to follow her to get enough of her eyesight, and then she said to Jia Zheng and others: "I often tell you that in a family, it is better for the men to do business outside the home. Prosperity.
You used to be alone, but now it’s better. With Lian’er helping you, you must be more relaxed.”
“What the old lady said is ."
Jia Zheng nodded honestly. It could be seen that he was quite happy.
When Jia Mu saw it, she nodded secretly, that's fine. As long as Jia Zheng and Jia Lian's uncle and nephew have a harmonious relationship, the family will not be in chaos.
Then he said to Wang Xifeng: "Okay, little girl Feng, let your people take all these things away and store them well. This is the wealth that your family Lian Er risked his life for. !"
Wang Xifeng nodded hurriedly. She couldn't wait to take these things away. It seemed that if others looked at them, they might snatch them away from her.
So he personally held the fragile green Ruyi in his hands and called Ping'er, Feng'er and other girls to move all the things into his house.
Arriving at home with great excitement, Wang Xifeng was a little embarrassed when Qingwen came up to touch her.
Although her bedroom was not as big as Jia Mu's, it was still quite big, with four or five standing cabinets, an unknown number of boxes, and a rather spacious compartment.
But now, she actually doesn’t know how to place these new good things.
In the past, she could not imagine that she still had this trouble. She wished that all the good things were hers, so that she could fill her house.
After finally discussing with Heping'er, she moved and put things properly. She herself was so tired that she fell down on the bed and lay down.
Suddenly looked sideways at Ping'er and asked: "Miss Ping, tell me, why is your second master suddenly so powerful?"
Ping'er smiled. He smiled. In the past two years, Wang Xifeng had asked similar questions countless times.
Wang Xifeng didn’t care when she didn’t get a reply from Ping’er. She counted on her fingers from the first time Jia Lian went to Yangzhou and brought her a hairpin phoenix and a bunch of worthless gifts. Later, the things Jia Lian sent home became better and better every time.
Now it’s even more amazing, he started bringing things back to her from the emperor!
In the past, the dowry she brought accounted for the largest portion of the family’s assets. If this continues, it will no longer be the case soon.
It is said that the economic base determines the superstructure. Although Sister Feng did not understand this statement, she naturally understood this truth. She suddenly realized the crisis involved.
"Miss Ping, you said that your second master is becoming more and more powerful now, has become a high official, and has been awarded by the emperor. Will he dislike me and not want me in the future?"
< br />Ping'er just sat down next to Sister Feng and was shocked when he heard Sister Feng lying on the couch talking nonsense: "Why did grandma say that?"
Wang Xifeng sat up, a little bit She blushed and said: "Look at me, I have a rough personality and no literary talent. Your second master often talks about me, saying that I don't understand the style. I... hmph, now that he has made a career, he will inevitably dislike me for not being good enough!
I’m a person who can’t get rid of the dirt in my eyes. If he dislikes me, I will definitely quarrel with him. By then, I’m afraid he won’t want me anymore.”
Ping When I heard Sister Feng say this, I was very speechless.
Since you know this, don’t argue with him...
However, as Wang Xifeng’s personal maid, she knows that Wang Xifeng’s worries are not unreasonable.
"Second Grandma, actually the Second Master is very good to you. As long as you don't quarrel with him in the future and obey him more, the Second Master will definitely always be good to you."
Ping'er didn't know that Wang Xifeng was just worrying about gains and losses for the moment. Hearing what she said, he looked at her with a smile.
"Why do you obey him so much? He wanted you, so I gave you to him. Does that count as obeying him? He wanted you to give him that, but if you didn't obey, I forced you to do it. Now, does that count as following him?"
"Second Grandma~!" Ping'er suddenly stood up and stared at Sister Feng, the roots behind her ears turned red.
It’s so bullying!
Seeing that Ping'er was about to run away, Wang Xifeng was even more proud. He reached out to grab her, pulled her over, then leaned into her ear and smiled: "Seriously, your second master is like this today. Why don’t we reward him for giving us a good face?
Otherwise, how about you just obey him again..."
Ping'er got angry and threw Sister Feng away and touched her. He held his hand and scolded: "I have to obey you, I won't."
When Wang Xifeng faced Jia Lian, he was very restrained, but when facing Ping'er, he might have an advantage in status. , it’s very hateful.
She imitated Jia Lian's movements, hooked Ping'er's head over, and asked with a smile: "Really don't agree? I'm afraid it's a lie, why did I eat it just when I looked at you last time? I'm enjoying it with gusto..."
Just when Ping'er was so embarrassed by Sister Feng that she had no choice but to do anything, Qingwen came in and said, "Second Grandma, Grandma You of Dongfu sent someone to invite you.The second grandma went to have a drink and watch a show, and the old lady and the others were going too. "
" Got it. "
Sister Feng let Ping'er go and got up to clean up.
Ping'er was also about to go back to the house to change clothes, but Qingwen came up to her and asked: "Sister Ping'er, what were you and my second grandma talking about in the house just now? What was delicious? "
Ping'er glanced at her and remained silent.
