Chapter 796 The Butler
The news that Jia Qing was promoted to Duke of the State and was granted the title of Prince Taibao, and the news that he was ranked third Duke soon spread to the Jia Mansion.
All the people from Jia's family were surprised and inexplicably.
God, even when our ancestors were alive, they had never achieved such glory!
Duke, Marquis, Bozinan, Duke is the first, civil and military officials, and the three Dukes are the top.
Although I heard that the emperor also gave the title of the current cabinet chief minister as the crown prince tutor, with a reputation above Jia Qing, the cabinet chief minister was all seventy-year-old and eighty-year-old, and he had no titles on him, so he was a pure civil servant.
Just from the perspective of honor, I am afraid that it is not as good as Jia Qing.
What's more, I heard that all the soldiers and horses in the capital are now directly or indirectly in the hands of Jia Qing, and there is also a sword in the hands of the emperor, which can kill all the unjust officials.
Everyone in the capital is afraid of being beaten to be called the eldest prince or Prince Kang's party member and being implicated.
Jia Qing's power was temporarily overwhelming the government and the country.
These people in the Jia family may not understand very much, but everyone knows that the Jia family is "magnificent".
There is the Empress in the Palace, and there are powerful ministers like Jia Qing outside. I am afraid that even the Prince Beijing Mansion will not be as good as the Jia Mansion in the future...
Therefore, from the master to the slaves in the Jia Mansion, almost everyone has a proud and proud look on their faces, and they talk big when they meet others.
They didn't know that all this was caused by the court's current need to rely on Jia Qing to quell the rebellion. Once the rebels broke through the city, the worst thing would be the Jia family.
In their opinion, after a hundred years of founding the country of Great Chu, which emperor did not experience several rebellions during his reign? But all of them were quelled without exception. Can the rebels really turn the world around?
Isn’t the matter about the eldest prince in the past explaining this issue?
In Ningguo Mansion, Youshi brought Yindian, Xiaohong and several housekeeper mothers to Ning'an Hall.
After talking to Baochai for a few words, she said straight to the point:
"There are some days because the capital is unstable and the second master has not returned home, so he forgot about this. In the past, I always helped the second uncle take care of the family affairs. Now that my younger brother and sister have married, I should naturally take care of these things.
In this box is the accountant's card and two strings of main keys, so I'll leave it to my sister.
Also, this person belongs to Lai Sheng’s family, the mother of the inner manager, and the servant of her family is also the manager of the outer manager. This person belongs to Liu Tian’s family, and the servant of her family is in charge of warehouses and other things in the mansion, and this person…”
She actually came to hand over the housekeeper's power with Baochai.
Baochai frowned and said before she could finish her words: "Sister-in-law, please wait, don't be too hasty about this matter. My sister-in-law has taken care of the family in the past few years. When I was still in the boudoir, I often heard the old ladies and wives over the past few days talking about their intelligence and wisdom. Only the sister-in-law manages the family is the best.
I just entered the mansion and didn't understand everything, so how could I take on this burden rashly?
Besides, since the second master asked my sister-in-law to take over the housekeeper, I never took this job privately. Even if my sister-in-law really wanted to put down this burden and hide for leisure, she had to wait for the second master to come back. My sister-in-law told me personally that this was justified.
I must never go over to the Second Master. Otherwise, if everyone blames me for being frivolous, I will not be able to argue with you."
You Shi smiled and said, "What a frivolous person who is not frivolous? The second uncle in the family is in charge. Before he got married, I helped him take care of what Shang said. Now that you are here, I still keep this position. That's unreasonable!"
Baochai still shook her head.
"No matter what my sister-in-law says, I won't collect the things. Sister-in-law should take them back."
"this......"
Youshi was in a dilemma.
It happened that at this time the maid said that Aunt Xue was going to see Baochai, but You Shi couldn't, so she had to go back first.
......
Aunt Xue is her mother-in-law. Even if she wants to see her daughter, it is not easy to enter her son-in-law's house in the first few days of the wedding. Baochai and Jia Qing have not yet returned to the house to serve tea, so she is not easy to recruit Baochai to her parents' house directly.
Fortunately, although Baochai couldn't stay in Hengwu Garden in Grand View Garden, because Jia Qing had said it first and had not been cut off, it was still Baochai's house. Aunt Xue waited for Baochai here, which was considered a few places that did not violate the etiquette.
Baochai and her mother had a wedding and she didn't see each other for two or three days. Moreover, she is now a woman from another family, so she naturally talked to her tears when she met her mother again.
Aunt Xue said, "My son, you are no longer a child. As a woman, you should be dignified and polite. It is not better to be like this kind of childlike attitude."
Aunt Xue said, feeling very sad after all, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
When Baochai saw it, she cried and said, "In front of my mother, I will always be my daughter. What kind of posture should my daughter have, what kind of posture should my daughter be."
His tone changed from his previous steady state, and he was quite willful and energetic.
Aunt Xue felt a little distressed when she saw Baochai like this. No one knows her daughter is better than her mother. She knew that her daughter was not born with a "happy and steadfast" personality. Instead, she was sensible too early and restrained her words and deeds with high requirements that surpass her family.
I still remember that Baochai was a lively and cute girl who liked to act coquettishly and playful when she was a child.
However, since her grandfather passed away, the Xue family began to gradually decline.
Later, when Xue's father thought about his father's relationship with the palace, he deliberately let Baochai enter the palace to restore the decline of the Xue family.
Perhaps, it was because of understanding his mission. Since then, Baochai has restrained her nature and made herself better in all aspects such as words and actions, women's talents.
It can be said that Baochai is successful enough.
She received unanimous praise from relatives and family friends at home and abroad.
In Aunt Xue's eyes, there is no girl in the world who is more sensible and excellent than her daughter.
However, this sensibility and excellence made her feel distressed and guilty.
Fortunately, I corrected Xue’s father’s plan in time. Now my daughter finally has a good belonging.
Sitting on the kang, hugging Baochai lovingly, Aunt Xue asked, "Is it still used to it these two days? Are there any difficulties?"
"No." Baochai replied calmly.
Aunt Xue smiled in her heart, knowing that this was a waste of time. With her daughter's personality, even if there is something difficult, she would not take the initiative to talk to herself in order not to worry about her.
"I'm going to call you here today. In addition to seeing you, I have a few words to tell you."
"My mother, please tell me."
Baochai held up and said seriously.
Aunt Xue saw that although Baochai was wearing a woman's hairstyle, her face was still as immature as a girl's house, so she asked, "Did you and Brother Qing have not yet completed your family?"
Ah, Baochai was embarrassed, so she hurriedly buried her head back in her mother's arms, nodded with difficulty, and said, "He has not returned home since he left that day..."
There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Haha." Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Even ordinary couples, men's families should earn family funds to support their wives and children outside, and put their career first. What's more, people like him?
Since he is a court official, he is now in trouble and should put national affairs first."
Aunt Xue suddenly sighed in her heart: It is said that Jia Qing is leading troops to resist the rebels now, and he is busy at home and cannot return. This means that the rebels are powerful...
However, she naturally would not say these words to Baochai, so as not to increase her worries.
But how could Baochai not guess this?
Although Jia Qing left a large number of people to protect his family, he suffered this sudden change, and the storm between Jia Rong and others had not yet disappeared on the wedding day, so the family was actually in danger.
If it weren't for the purpose of stabilizing the situation at home and not causing chaos in Jia Qing's backyard, she would never be able to remain calm these days.
Now in the private room, she was in front of her mother again, and she was less concerned and said with concern: "My daughter naturally understands this truth, but she can't help but worry.
Now even though the soldiers outside are in danger, he has been to the border, led his troops to make great contributions, and ruled the Beijing camp for many years.
My daughter’s biggest concern is his future situation.
Since ancient times, it is said that he has risen and fallen heavily. Now he is only this old and is already a great minister.
The current situation is naturally safe, but once the rebellion is quelled, what status should he establish in the court? Will the emperor still tolerate him?
Another thing, what if he couldn't resist the rebels?"
When Aunt Xue heard her daughter's words, she knew that her daughter had thought more and more profoundly than her these days.
"Oh, you can see this, many people can see it. Can't Qing Ge'er see it himself?
Even if Brother Qing was fascinated by loyalty, courage and passion, which of his subordinates and counselors were not human spirits? Wouldn't he remind him?
In short, how to decide on these big things outside and where to go, they can only let their men make their own decisions. Our women's family cannot help.
The only thing we can do is to help them keep a good eye on their homes and not cause chaos in their homes. This is our greatest responsibility.
This is why I just said I would like to tell you a few things.
Now that the situation on their side is complicated, Qing Ge'er himself is on the verge of the storm, everything must be handled carefully.
This one is the concubine who died on the day of your wedding..."
