As for Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu returned home in a sedan chair, and she had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Ancestor, what's going on?" Mrs. Xing's face was full of concern.
Compared to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing is undoubtedly more filial and considerate, because she needs more support from her mother-in-law to secure her position as housekeeper's wife.
"What happened today is really surprising"
"How"
"The girl of the Xue family has been chosen as the princess"
Hearing this, without waiting for Mrs. Everyone in the Jia family was surprised.
But today Baochai chose the princess, and the effect was as shocking as a thunderbolt.
"Ancestor, are you a concubine or a princess?"
Hearing Mrs. Wang's question, Jia Mu's face became even more ugly. Did she know what Mrs. Wang had done to the Xue family.
"You are deaf and have already said that you were chosen to be the princess." Mother Jia looked sulky.
Hearing her mother-in-law reprimanding her rival, Mrs. p>
These words really mean that there is no need to open or lift the pot. I heard Mrs. Wang reply: "My family is the head of the four princes and eight princes, and now that there is a princess, there is no need to help others."
Hearing Mrs. Wang's stupid words, Jia Mu's face became even more ugly. But before she could reprimand her, someone was reported from outside that someone was coming from the East Palace.
"Go and invite me quickly," Jia Mu said.
About a few breaths later, the eunuch sent by Yuanchun entered the living room. At this time, in addition to Jia's mother and the two ladies, brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng were also there.
"Greetings to the old lady, gentlemen and ladies"
"You don't have to be polite, father-in-law. I don't know why you came here this time." Mother Jia had a kind smile on her face, and she couldn't see just now at all. Half angry.
The eunuch replied, "This servant was ordered by the Crown Princess to send a message to the palace."
To prevent others from talking about internal and external collusion, Yuanchun rarely communicated directly with the prince. The Rongguo Mansion contacted him and personally sent someone to deliver the message today. Naturally, there was something extremely important.
"Please tell me, father-in-law"
"The Crown Princess has told me that now that the Xue family girl has chosen the princess, the family must send someone to congratulate her"
Jia Mu nodded and replied, "This is the right thing to do."
"The empress also said that if she wants to invite the second wife to come to the house in person, she must apologize for what happened that day."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang's expression changed drastically, and she even wanted to get up and leave immediately.
The fact that she ridiculed her own sister was now known to everyone in the house. If she was asked to go to the Xue family to apologize at this time, she would not even be able to save her last face.
But Yuanchun is the Crown Princess after all.Although the lady wanted to refuse, she didn't have the courage, so she could only turn her head away.
Jia Zheng knew the key to this, so he heard him say, "Don't worry, father-in-law, we know how to do it."
At this point, the eunuch's task of delivering the message was completed. , said some auspicious words and left.
The Jia family members who stayed in the hall looked at each other and were speechless.
In the end, Jia Mu broke the silence and said slowly, "You two go to the door in person. If you should admit your mistake, admit it and make it clear to them. Easing the relationship will be of great benefit to you and Yuan Chun."
p>This is the order of the Crown Princess, and now Mother Jia is urging her. Even if Mrs. Wang is reluctant, she must sacrifice her face at this moment.
When they reached an agreement, the news about Baochai's selection as princess also spread in Ning Rong's second mansion.
When Jia Baoyu came home from school, he heard the comments of the servants.
This guy really didn’t know the importance of the matter. He said bluntly in public, "It is a big joke that such a treacherous person would choose the princess."
These words happened to be heard by Jia Zheng and his wife. This made Jia Zheng so angry that he asked someone to take the jade away in front of everyone, and directly served him with his family's methods.
Although Mrs. Wang wanted to persuade him, she could not persuade the furious Jia Zheng. In the end, it was Jia's mother who came over and persuaded Jia Zheng.
In any case, Baochai will be a royal concubine. To slander her in public would be a disgrace to the royal family. It would be hard to blame Jia Zheng for punishing Jia's mother so severely.
Using Jia Zheng and his wife to go to Xue's house, Jia's mother just said to Baoyu, "Remember, you must never speak ill of Baochai again in the future, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Only At the scene of the concubine selection, we can deeply feel how much Zhu Jinghong attaches importance to Baochai. To slander Baochai would offend the Thirteenth Master.
Renni Baoyu is the biological younger brother of the Crown Princess. If he commits the crime of rebellion, he will be in a situation of life and death. Jia Zhen, who is already half dead, is a lesson learned from the past.
This man dared to disobey the emperor, so how could he care about Yuan Chun's opinion? Jia Mu saw this very clearly.
"Old ancestor, the person surnamed Xue is not a good person at all. She has killed Sister Lin."
Before Baoyu finished speaking, he felt a burning pain on his face. He didn't want to He looked at his grandmother in disbelief. This was the first time in his life that he had been slapped by her grandmother.
"Pass my words, Baoyu is crazy and unconscious. From now on, he is not allowed to go out until he recovers."
For Baoyu's life, Jia Mu took out the The Duke's wife was so courageous that she put her beloved grandson under house arrest.
Turn around and look at the girls in the room, Jia Mu said with a cold face, "Whoever dares to discuss what happened today will be beaten to death immediately."
"You all understand. ""
"I understand"
Turn around, Jia Mu glanced at Baoyu on the bed, and slowly said, "You have to be more peaceful these days. Don't give it to you." Getting into trouble with my parents"
"I really want toYou will cause a huge disaster, and no one can save you."
After teaching these words, Jia Mu got up and left. When she went out, she did not forget to warn Qingwen and others, asking them to keep a close eye on Baoyu. .
After Jia Mu left, a doctor came to see Baoyu and apply medicine. This time, he was beaten to pieces, which meant that he lost half his life.
After the doctor left, Tanchun and the others came to see him. Yingchun and Xichun couldn't help crying when they saw how miserable he was, but Tanchun looked tough and hesitated to speak.
"Third sister, what's the matter? Just say what you want." Baoyu saw Tanchun's hesitation.
"Second brother, you may not like to hear what I say, but I don't mind saying it." Tanchun shook his head.
"Third sister, just say what you want. I am also a stupid person, and I just want to listen to you teach me." Obviously Baoyu knew what Tanchun was going to say.
Tanchun didn't either. Hiding it and pinching it, he asked bluntly, "Second brother is extremely smart. He should know the stakes of today's matter. My little sister is stupid and doesn't understand how good a person like Sister Bao is. Why does second brother always treat her with malice?"
Regarding the things Mrs. Wang did, she pushed the Xue family away, and Tanchun didn't understand her mind.
When she thought of Baoyu's stupidity, sometimes Tanchun couldn't help but think about these two things. Maybe the stupidity is the same.
"No matter what you say, I don't like people like her." Baoyu turned his face to the side and sighed. She had no desire to say more, she just hoped that the second brother could figure it out during the confinement period.
The three women obviously didn't agree with Baoyu's words, so they only sat there for a while. Then he left.
While Baoyu was feeling distressed, Xiren and others also came in and advised, "Second Master, you won't listen to what my ancestor said. Don't speak ill of Miss Bao again. If you provoke her again, If the master is angry, won't he be beaten again?"
These words made Baoyu furious, and he immediately scolded, "You all say good things about her, why don't you serve her in her house, and get out, all of you"< /p>
There has been no shortage of opportunists since ancient times.
So when the Xue family gave birth to a princess, people came to visit one after another, including but not limited to the Xue family's business. Friends.
Xue Pan, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, had not yet woken up from the shock. He just smiled stiffly at the back of the Xue family. , Aunt Xue was also so happy that she was sharing the good news in front of her deceased husband's soul.
"Madam, someone from Prince Rui's Mansion has come to give a gift and say congratulations to our young lady on being selected."
Outside the Imperial City, Prince Rui's Mansion and Prince Xiang's Mansion are the most noble places in the world.
Note that the East Palace is outside the Imperial Palace and within the Imperial City.
Obviously Prince Rui's Mansion. Always walking in front of the East Palace, even the gift-giving was prepared in advance.
At this moment, Prince Rui and his wife did not know that they had been betrayed by Zhu Jinghong, and they were having a good time while drinking. < /p>
Zhu was confirmed againJinghong is a fool, and the two of them only have the prince as their rival, which is naturally something to be happy about.
"Haihaosheng entertains"
"Reporting to my wife, those father-in-laws have left"
Since everyone has left, Aunt Xue can only After giving up, I felt even happier.
In fact, many people who came today just gave gifts and said a few words before leaving. After all, the Xue family was not ready to entertain them.
About an hour later, Jia Zheng and his wife arrived at Xue's house, and Xue Pan introduced the two elders into the inner house.
When she met her biological sister, Mrs. Wang always felt that she could not save her face, but Jia Zheng was the one doing the talking the whole time.
But Jia Zheng is a man after all, and what he always says is always a bit disobedient, but Mrs. Wang just can't save face.
At this moment, Wen Xing jumped in from the outside and said happily, "Mrs. Qi, our girl is back."
When I heard that Baochai was back, , Aunt Xue was immediately overjoyed, and after saying goodbye to Jia Zheng, they went out.
With the couple left in the room, Jia Zheng could say some things.
"Mrs., have you forgotten why you are here today?"
"I"
Before his wife could speak, Jia Zheng ordered, "No matter what, , Madam should always listen to what the Crown Princess says, and everything should focus on the overall situation."
"I understand"
"As long as Madam understands," Jia Zheng sighed.
"Let's go, let's go out to greet him"
Although Mrs. Wang was reluctant, she saw her husband getting up and leaving the table, so she had no choice but to follow.
As for the front yard, Baochai still walked out of the sedan. Except for the Xue family mother and son and a group of girls, there were no other outsiders.
This time when Baochai came back, he was escorted by the Banner Guards, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division also sent people to guard along the way. The scene was no longer as grand as usual.
These things do not require special arrangements, everything is based on precedent.
After Baochai walked out of the sedan with Ruyi, he saw his mother and brother, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"Bao"
As she came forward, Aunt Xue wanted to call her "Bao girl", but when she thought of her daughter's identity as a princess, she held back the words.
"Congratulations, Baochai," Aunt Xue sent her heartfelt blessing.
Xue Pan didn't think so much and said bluntly, "Sister, we didn't expect that you could choose the princess."
Baochai smiled and replied, "Yes, even I I never thought that this was all thanks to the great blessing from the Holy One, the pity of the Queen, and the love of His Highness Prince Xiang.”
Even in his own house, Baochai still chose to praise the emperor and the empress together, which is outstanding. Just a watertight one.
No one could refute her words. When everyone was paying tribute to the emperor's holy land, Jia Zheng and his wife also came out.
"Congratulations, Baochai," Jia Zheng saidroad.
When Jia Zheng and his wife met Baochai now, the status comparison was completely different, so he showed respect when he spoke, even though Baochai had not been canonized yet.
However, Baochai did not show off, but bent down and saluted, "I have met my uncle, aunt."
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." When speaking, Jia Zheng still pulled He asked his wife to step aside.
To be honest, Jia Zheng is quite smart. His biggest shortcoming is that he has a stupid wife.
When giving in, Jia Zheng also tugged on his old wife's clothes, signaling her to take the opportunity to speak.
"Baobaochai, what my aunt said before was inappropriate, please don't blame me," Mrs. Wang said with great embarrassment.
However, the ridicule she imagined did not happen. Baochai said very sincerely, "Auntie, what are you talking about? You said everything is for my own good. How could someone who is not a close relative do this? Thank you, my niece." It’s too late for you”
“You don’t blame me” Mrs. Wang was deeply surprised.
Stepping forward and taking Mrs. Wang's hand, Baochai looked modest and said, "Auntie was joking, but my niece still understands the truth that blood is thicker than water."
Hands out her hand to avoid hitting her smiling face. Man, no matter what, Mrs. Wang is the Crown Princess's biological mother, so Baochai will naturally not argue with her.
When Mrs. Wang felt at ease, she smiled and said, "Baochai, I was blind at first, and I really didn't expect you to do it."
Now that the words were said, the conflict seemed to be over. After it was resolved, Aunt Xue also came out to smooth things over, and everyone went to the living room to continue talking.
And Xue Pan returned to the outside to greet the guests, and the afternoon passed between welcoming them and sending them off.
After achieving their goal, Jia Zheng and his wife left. Aunt Xue wanted to stay but she didn't.
In the inner house, Baochai has returned to the boudoir and is thinking about the next thing.
If nothing happens, the next step will be her marriage to Zhu Jinghong, which means that their family will return to their ancestral home in Jinling.
When a prince gets married, there are many rules and regulations. Even if the whole process goes smoothly, it will take two to three months, during which there will be a series of complicated ceremonies.
While Baochai was thinking, Aunt Xue walked in with a smile.
"Baochai, today our family has a double happiness."
Hearing this, Baochai was deeply surprised and asked, "What is the other happiness?"
Aunt Xue replied, "The Osmanthus Xia family just sent someone here, saying that they agreed to our family's marriage proposal and asked us to set a date for our wedding earlier."
Baochai replied lightly, "Xia Regardless of the character of the girl in the family, the mother should consider it carefully before making a decision. As the saying goes, a virtuous wife rarely causes harm to her husband."
At this moment, she has completed the role change and can express her opinions on her brother's marriage. However, Aunt Xue Haven't found any problem yet.
"That's it. I don't think I'm in a hurry to reply. I'll wait until I find out more clearly before I speak."
Nodding, Baochai added, "Mother, remember, don't be public these days, especially Big brother wants him to be lessGo out and don't cause trouble."
"If necessary, you can confine the eldest brother to the house."
Persuaded his mother to confine his brother. If Baochai said this before, Aunt Xue will definitely think that she is crazy and there is no way she will obey this outrageous request.
"Okay, I will restrain him."
Baochai then said, "One more thing, please." Mother is really getting ready, maybe we will return home in the near future"
"Return home"
Aunt Xue just hesitated for a moment, and then she wanted to understand what was going on. So they nodded and agreed.
While the Xue family was discussing, Jia Zheng and his wife also returned to Rongguo Mansion, and then they learned that Baoyu had been banned by the old lady.
Although Mrs. Wang was unwilling to do so, she still didn't say a word. She knew that the old lady was protecting her grandson.
Jia Zheng went to Jia Mu's courtyard to recover, and after learning about Baochai. When Dadu ignored her grudges, Jia Mu frowned.
It is unclear whether this matter is over or not.
