Match with Rong Ge'er?
When Lady Jia came to see Shen Ning, she was stunned for a long time when she heard Jia Zhen's so-called good news.
What kind of family could be worthy of their boy Rong?
The eldest grandson in the eldest son’s family and the only child.
She is good-looking, sensible and filial. She is now studying and practicing martial arts. How can she be married to the adopted daughter of a fifth-rank official?
"Brother Rong is still young."
Glancing at Shen Ning, the old lady organized her words, "The future... is limitless! Moreover, speaking of matchmaking..." She looked at her daughter, "Now there are already many people who want to inquire about our Rong'er, Min'er, the official Wu you mentioned the other day..."
"ah?"
When everyone looked over, Jia Min seemed to come back to her senses, "Rong'er's marriage still depends mainly on the eldest sister-in-law."
If the elders don't like her, how much suffering will the child suffer? "That child saved my sister-in-law twice..."
"But you can't just promise Rong Ge'er away so easily."
Can't I repay Sun Xiangxu for saving my life?
It sounds good to outsiders, but...
Grandmother Jia couldn't bear to let their most proud grandson marry such a woman. "There are many ways to repay a favor, Zhen'er, you should also think more about the child."
"Madam, Youshi and I have already discussed this matter with mother."
Jia Zhen lay on the spring stool, still very happy, "That child's literary talent is also very good. She can recite three ancient poems in one breath without taking a breath. When she met an assassin, she did not panic or cry. Instead, she picked up a bamboo pole to defend herself and the people around her. A child like this will be able to stay calm when something big happens."
This is the most important thing.
Jia Zhen was very worried that the girl would not be able to do well, and that his mother and Youshi would have to spend more time and effort in educating her in the future.
But Youshi actually said that the child was very good and found out all the poems she guessed.
Jia Zhen didn't understand poetry very well, so he couldn't answer any of the riddles.
Now that he suddenly has a daughter-in-law like this, he is very happy for his son.
I feel that the child is worthy of his baby.
"…So, you are all willing?"
Grandmother Jia still wanted to fight for Rong'er, so she looked at Shen Ning.
It was not easy for her to interfere in the affairs of the East Palace, but if Shen said no, then it was absolutely not allowed.
"Aunt, I like that child very much."
Shen Ning said, "Lord Qin has never treated her unfairly. Her personal situation is enough to make up for the shortcomings of her family background. Moreover..." She paused, "Although our family is better than before, it is still risky to marry a child with too high a family background."
This? Grandmother Jia sighed, "Okay! Since you all say so, it must be a good one."
Since her family was saved, she, as the ancestor, has to express her gratitude and visit the people at the same time.
"It's Prince Jin..."
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "After this incident, our Jia family and the Prince of Jin's Mansion should be able to live in peace, right?"
Even if the princess still had resentment in her heart, she could not do anything to the Jia family openly.
Instead, we should protect the Jia family at the appropriate time.
“…”
“…”
Shen Ning and Jia Zhen didn't look very happy.
Although the mother and son had never talked about the King of Jin, they both had an idea in their hearts.
"not necessarily!"
Shen Ning leaned on the soft pillow. She wanted to say that betting on the conscience of a royal family member was like daydreaming.
But she didn't dare say this... in front of so many maids and servants.
"Aunt, just forget about it! Even without the Jia family, I will still have someone to help me just because of my status as the King of Jin."
No one came to help, and there were so many people at the scene that they were enough to block the knife for him.
"Zhen'er, tell your uncle She and the others later that we, the Jia family, should stay as far away from the people and affairs of the royal family as possible."
"yes!"
Jia Zhen agreed without hesitation.
"What the elder sister-in-law said is very true."
The smile on Jia Min's face was particularly genuine, "Stay away, it's safer."
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
Royal...
Her father and uncle were so powerful in the past, and had such a good relationship with the retired emperor, but one day they turned against each other... and the Jia family almost couldn't recover.
"By the way, Rong Ge'er should have seen that girl last night. Didn't you tell him about this?"
As long as my sister-in-law is around, my parents’ family will never fail.
Jia Min is now in the mood to care about her nephew's opinion on getting married.
"...I'll talk to him later!"
Shen Ning looked at Haodaer, then at Youshi, and felt that it would be better for her to speak up.
According to Jia Zhen, if the situation becomes awkward, it will affect the relationship between the young couple and ruin them.
Shen Ning is now afraid that this eldest son will be like Jia Zhen in the Dream of the Red Chamber and start to have feelings for Qin Keqing again.
If that were the case, she would definitely destroy him.
Jia Zhen felt his mother's gaze was cold and he shuddered for no apparent reason.
At this time, Prince Jin was also shivering in bed.
He really had a fever, and it was quite severe.
The imperial physician came, took his pulse, prepared some medicine, and watched him drink it before returning to the palace to report.
"… Mainly because of the cold?"
The emperor looked at the pulse record and asked the imperial physician.
"yes!"
Say what you mean. Say what you mean.
The imperial physician didn't dare to say anything nonsense in front of the emperor, "I was a little frightened, so the condition got worse."
"Hmm~"
The emperor did not comment, put down the pulse case, and waved his hand for the imperial physician to leave.
As my son grows up, he has more things to think about.
It seems like all along...
Thinking about the coincidence that the Jia family would meet their poor granddaughter at the Lantern Festival and that Prince Jin would be there immediately, the retired emperor began to have some doubts.
This is a problem on his side.
Someone found out through him in advance that someone from the Jia family would appear at the lantern festival.
So his good son went to deploy in advance.
That assassin...
The emperor snorted.
The King of Jin was spoiled by him.
Want to do great things, but not willing to pay, otherwise...
The emperor leaned back in his chair and sighed softly.
At this moment, the old man was really glad that he was stupid at the time.
This confusion led to the selection of the best heir.
Otherwise, with Prince Jin's cold temper, it's hard to tell what the emperor would think.
Four personal guards, I can give them up, but if I give them up, his master will still protect me and won't even suffer a scratch...
Today's so-called fever scare is nothing more than a compensation after the loophole was discovered.
He couldn’t even fool the Jia family, so how could he expect to fool his father?
The emperor exhaled a little heavily through his nose, "What is Concubine Zhen doing now?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, Concubine Zhen went to the Buddhist temple early this morning. She said she wanted to pray for you and Prince Jin."
The Emperor: “…”
The old man didn't say anything, just twirled the ring on his hand.
Dai Quan was panicking, and asked carefully, "Does the emperor want to summon the concubine?"
“No need!”
The emperor's voice was very cold, "Since you want to pray, then stay in the temple for three months!"
There are not many elderly people around him who can talk.
otherwise……
The emperor suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, "Also, since it is a blessing, the people in her palace... just show some mercy and let them go!"
No one should be more honest in the future.
If she behaves well, the son of the Prince of Jin will probably behave well too.
The emperor didn't want to have his son's blood on his hands again.
He was unwilling to do so, and his sons ended up killing each other.
"By the way, doesn't she want to thank Madam Shen? Dai Quan, go over and ask her what the thank-you gift is. If the person who gave the gift hasn't left yet, just say I said to double it!"
Ah? Dai Quan was startled and said quickly, "Yes!"
He didn't know what the emperor suspected, but he was obviously angry.
Not only was she angry at the Concubine Dowager, she was also angry at Prince Jin.
Here...
Dai Quan didn't dare to think about it any further, and quickly went to carry out what the emperor had ordered.
Like the retired emperor, he felt that the people who came to send gifts of thanks to Concubine Zhen had not left yet.
After all, yesterday's incident was a bit of a big deal. The Concubine Dowager wanted to save face for Prince Jin and express her gratitude, so she had to send the gift after the previous court session ended.
Only in this way can outsiders see it.
Sure enough, when he went there, Eunuch Chen was still leading people to tinker with the warehouse.
Dai Quan went straight to find Concubine Zhen.
Seeing him coming with such a look on his face, Concubine Zhen's heart trembled.
"My Queen, the Emperor heard that you were praying and was very happy. He allowed you to pray here for three months."
"...Yes! I originally planned to do it for three months."
Concubine Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just house arrest for three months, it's okay.
"The Emperor also said that since we are praying for blessings, we should give him some grace..."
The palace maids and eunuchs serving here had expressionless faces, but when they heard the grace to let them go, they all seemed to be struck by surprise.
But when they saw the Toffee, they quickly restrained their expressions.
"...Yes! The Emperor is very thoughtful."
Concubine Zhen's heart was bleeding.
When she heard Liu Song, who was beside the emperor, talking about why his son couldn't enter the palace in time yesterday, she knew something bad was going to happen.
When she was in the palace before, she could give instructions from time to time, but now... it is becoming more and more difficult.
He originally thought that she had done everything and his son only had to pretend to do as she told him. However, he did not expect that everyone else had done nothing wrong, but he could not even use a self-torture trick.
All these years he has been blaming her for not helping him.
How can she help? Have fewer people died in the palace in recent years?
The emperor emeritus can even give up the crown prince, so what else can he be reluctant to give up?
She put almost all her energy into raising him safely.
Concubine Zhen could not hide her sadness.
But on the surface, she still had to pretend to be submissive and obedient.
The emperor didn't like people disobeying him, especially when he was angry.
At this time, Concubine Zhen didn't care about money or anything.
As long as people are around, lost things will always come back slowly.
If a person is gone, then everything is gone.
Unfortunately, her son never realized this.
After seeing Dai Quan off, Concubine Zhen went to the storehouse in person to pick out gifts for the Jia family.
Her son lost his composure after losing two huge fortunes.
If he could tell Shen about the reward first, no one would doubt it.
But he felt sorry for his money.
There was great sadness in Concubine Zhen's eyes.
It has been said that the purpose of this assassination was, firstly, to arouse the suspicion of the retired emperor, and secondly, for Shen.
He just needs to get hurt, be embarrassed, and be angry.
By then, the emperor emeritus will naturally become suspicious of the emperor and feel sorry for him.
As long as you care about him, you will give him help.
What is now in the hands of the Supreme Emperor are all crucial keys in the court!
How come he has no brains at all?
I feel sorry for spending so much money...
It's more than just stealing a chicken and losing the rice! Now not only the emperor is suspicious of them, I'm afraid the Jia family is also suspicious.
Especially since Shen Shi had survived twice in a row...
Concubine Zhen tried her best to choose the thank-you gift.
She had originally planned that after Shen Shi was gone, her son would visit the Jia family more often, and if he could not control the Jia family, he would also make the emperor suspicious of the Jia family. But now...
"Mrs. Shen is a scholar. This "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Rock Scroll" is quite good. Let's add it in as well!"
She also likes Su Shi's "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Rock Scroll".
It was a birthday gift given by the retired emperor when he was in favor.
But now...
Concubine Zhen could only give it away with great reluctance.
Watching the palace maids carry out her treasures one by one, she slowly took off her hairpins and rings and went to the small Buddhist hall.
If her son knew the situation on her side, he would probably be more obedient.
As long as he behaves himself and the emperor cannot find any fault with him, he will always be a safe prince in the future.
Concubine Zhen accepted her fate.
After the retired emperor's misguided remarks caused her son to miss the chance to be emperor, she should have let her son accept his fate.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
Now..., he knew that he was not the kind of person who could fight for the world, right? When the door of the Buddhist temple was gently closed, the queen finally received the good news.
She sipped her tea and couldn't help laughing.
As expected, the Jia family is a lucky star for her and the emperor.
When she found out yesterday that Prince Jin had been assassinated, she was so worried!
I was afraid that the final disaster would be brought to the emperor.
Now, the emperor emeritus is still the emperor emeritus.
The queen was very happy, "Prepare a few more dishes today. The emperor will most likely eat here after he returns from court."
"yes!"
The palace maid happily went down and gave the order.
Sure enough, the emperor came this way as soon as he finished his court session.
I already knew about Concubine Zhen's punishment on the way here.
But you can't laugh freely in other places, but it's different here with the Queen.
"I suddenly like that child named Keqing too."
The Queen said, "I think Sister Shen will like it very much too."
"Well, when you enter the palace in the future, you should give more gifts. If Rong Ge'er is a good person, I will give her more grace."
The key is that he has to be nice to his niece.
The emperor was also very satisfied with his niece who was able to take decisive action to save people.
He believed that if his father knew about this, he would miss the prince even more.
I miss my nieces and nephews who died in the fire.
The emperor sighed, and suddenly felt that he had no appetite. "Forget it, I'm afraid that father will feel uncomfortable today. I will go and accompany him!"
The old man did not punish the Prince of Jin openly, but those who knew that the Prince of Jin’s brother almost hurt his niece would definitely be even angrier.
He had to take the opportunity to get some benefits for his niece.
Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop.
At this time, the Qin family was overwhelmed with gifts from the Jia family.
Not to mention the Ningguo Mansion, even the Rongguo Mansion, from the old lady, the first lady, the aunt, the eldest lady, to the second lady, all gave gifts of thanks.
Qin Keqing didn't expect that a big family like the Jia family would have such good relations.
I have always heard that in such large families, the wives and grandmothers all like to intrigue against each other.
now……
The little girl felt that the rumor was very wrong.
In other words, the Jia family is different.
Qin Ye took a leave today and stayed at home to accompany his daughter. The old man was very happy to see the enthusiasm of the Jia family.
Recently, people have been saying that the Jia family has introduced a new clan rule, which states that a man can take a concubine only if he is childless after the age of 30.
He didn't ask his daughter to marry into the Ning or Rong mansions, but he wanted her to marry into a branch of the side branch, so that she could have the support of the Ningguo Mansion in the future... then life would be different.
Qin Ye decided to go back and ask someone which children of the right age there were in the Jia family.
His daughter Keqing was growing up.
Yesterday's Lantern Festival was the last time she could go out.
If I want to go out again in the future, I can only be accompanied by my husband.
"This flowing brocade is nice. I'll make you a dress later."
Qin Ye did not dare to show off his wealth.
Although he had several thousand silver coins at home, to the outside world he was still just a poor little official in the capital.
But his daughter's identity was different, and he had always felt indebted to her.
Now that he has so many thank-you gifts from the Jia family, he can dress up his daughter well.
"And this golden necklace, since it's given to us, let's wear it!"
The Jia family is so nice.
Qin Ye put the golden necklace on his daughter and felt that her little face looked more noble than before.
"There's no need to keep these jewellery and the like. We can wear them and take turns wearing them."
"Dad~"
Although Qin Keqing also likes it, but there are so many...
"Zhong'er's tiger lantern is gone, and he got scared again yesterday. I heard that jade can calm the mind, so I'll give him this jade pendant."
Qin Keqing picked out a small jade pendant with a unicorn pattern and said, "There is also this one with the word 'Fu' in it, it will look good on you too."
From jewelry and accessories to fabrics and food that she had never seen before, the Jia family gave her a lot of gifts. "By the way, don't put too much snacks, and give some to the neighbors."
"Yes, you arrange these!"
Ever since my wife passed away the year before last, my daughter has taken charge of the household.
"Do whatever you want."
He ate the egg yolk pastry that his daughter stuffed into his mouth, and his mouth was filled with salty fragrance. "Mm, this is delicious. Let's keep it for ourselves."
Keep the delicious ones at home and send out the unpalatable ones.
Unfortunately, after tasting every piece of dessert, he couldn’t bear to give it up.
His son and daughter are both young and love to eat snacks, but he is old and cannot provide them with better things.
now……
Seeing his daughter picking up some of everything, Qin Ye could only shut up regretfully.
"Master, the steward from Prince Jin's Mansion is here."
What? Qin Ye was very surprised. He stood up quickly and said, "Please come in!"
"It should be a gift of silver."
Qin Keqing felt that her father's face had turned pale with fear, and said, "I also beat the black-clothed man yesterday. Didn't the manager Chang Xing of Ningguo Mansion say that our family should also go to collect the reward?"
This? It seems so.
But the Prince Jin’s Mansion is so good, is it really possible to give away money?
Qin Ye heard that those people almost fought over the reward yesterday.
He went out in a hurry.
Fortunately, they are not here to cause trouble, but really come to give you money.
Not only that, the Prince of Jin also gave his daughter a set of gold jewelry from Jinyulou because she saved Madam Shen.
Ahhh, now my daughter has money.
Not to mention how happy the Qin family was, after Rong Ge'er finished his studies and martial arts practice, he found out that everyone who had visited their grandmother in the West Mansion had left, so he hurried over.
Although it is still vacation, he is busier today than when he was in school.
"Grandma, does it still hurt?"
The young boy felt very distressed when he saw that his grandmother looked so sad.
"It doesn't hurt much anymore."
Seeing Rong Ge'er, Shen Ning's eyebrows slightly curved, "Sit down! Although studying is important, you also have to take care of your body and rest when you need to."
I'm still working so hard on holiday...
To say that I don't like it would be absolutely false.
"My grandson knows what's going on."
Rong Ge'er said, "Look, my grandson hasn't been sick in the past six months."
Although he was very busy every day, he really didn't get sick.
Rong Ge'er also found it amazing.
"Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body." Shen Ning smiled, "My brother Rong has grown up. I feel that he has grown a lot taller this year."
"So many escapes."
Rong Ge'er held up three fingers and said, "Madam Tang, let me measure it."
"Madame Tang is a good one."
With Nanny Tang around, she has less to worry about.
Shen Ning was very satisfied, "Today your great aunt said someone asked her about you."
Huh? Rong Ge'er didn't quite understand.
"You've grown up. You'll be thirteen next year. It's time to get married."
Huh?
Rong Ge'er's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Tell grandma, what are your requirements for your future daughter-in-law?"
"All...all listen to grandma."
Rong Ge'er lowered his head and his voice became much softer.
"…You also know the situation at home."
Shen Ning sighed, "The people your great-aunt mentioned are from good families, but grandma thinks they are too high and not good for our family."
"Well, I listen to my grandmother."
Rong Ge'er looked up and nodded seriously.
"Do you still remember the little girl who saved me yesterday?"
She? Rong Ge'er was stunned.
That girl... is very nice. (End of this chapter)
