No matter when he visits the old lady, Jia Huan never loses his etiquette.
At first it was to protect myself, but later I just didn’t want to give people an excuse to criticize me.
He never felt that he was a bastard, but felt inferior to others.
But I can’t stand the world’s environment like this!
It's really unfriendly to concubines, as if they shouldn't be there.
Jia Huan found it funny. The responsibility should not have been placed on the children. Unfortunately, the feudal etiquette system was like this, and there were many rules that distorted human nature.
He himself doesn't care, but outsiders care about his origins.
No, after meeting the old lady respectfully, the old lady took the initiative to mention this matter.
"Second brother, have Brother Huan's biological mother, Mrs. Zhao, and her family been released from their citizenship?"
"This, my son hasn't considered this yet!"
"Boy, you are confused. Brother Huan is a rising star in the army, but his biological mother and his family are still slaves. Isn't it a joke?"
"Mom taught me a lesson, my son will deal with it later!"
"Second brother, after Brother Huan's biological mother, Zhao, is deregistered, we can make her a good concubine!"
"Mother is right!"
Naturally, Jia Huan could not remain indifferent to the stern performance of the old lady and Mr. Zheng Er. He stood up in a hurry and said thank you: "Thank you, old lady, and thank you, sir!"
There is a story about the great general Sima Weiqing during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, but no one thought there was a problem with this.
It's just that Mrs. Wang's expression is not very natural. It is obvious that she was not notified in advance and she must be unhappy.
But it’s hard for her to say anything!
The old lady is already eighty years old. What's wrong with being more willful?
As for Mr. Zheng, he has a temperament that doesn’t know much about internal affairs or the world, so how could he care about Mrs. Wang’s mood?
Given Jia Huan's current status, it would really be unjustifiable if her biological mother and her family were still slaves.
It's okay if Jia Huan cares. If he doesn't care, it will be the turn of Rong Mansion and Mrs. Wang, the aunt's mother, to be embarrassed.
It is estimated that even the current emperor would have to ask about this matter!
Why, the young general he values is still a slave in Rong Mansion. Whose face is he trying to slap in the face?
If this really happens, the core members of Rongfu will be punished.
I am afraid that even the concubine Yuan who is in the harem will be implicated and suffer unreasonable disasters!
Although Mrs. Wang is not very smart, she understands such an obvious truth.
Therefore, although he was caught off guard, he did not say anything to disagree.
But what the old lady said next caused her expression to change with horror, and resentment and a cold and fierce light flashed in her eyes involuntarily.
"Second brother, do you think you should record Brother Huan's name in your wife's name?"
The old lady pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "In this way, people won't be gossiping outside!"
"That's a good idea!"
"No!"
The voices of Mr. Zheng Er and Mrs. Wang sounded almost at the same time.
The originally harmonious atmosphere of Rongxi Hall suddenly became quiet.
"Old lady, let's forget it!"
Jia Huan spoke at the right time and said with a smile: "There's no need for this!"
"Why is it not necessary?"
The old lady was a little angry and said dissatisfiedly: "You must know that family background is very important outside!"
As he said that, he glanced at Mrs. Wang fiercely, her eyes full of warning and dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes, but her heart was filled with rage and hatred, but she did not dare to get angry.
"Old lady, do you think anyone dares to say this to me face to face?"
Jia Huan didn't take it seriously, and asked with a smile: "Whoever dares to speak to your face, I will dare to wait on you directly. Even the children of the royal family can't escape!"
As soon as these words came out, Rongxi Hall fell silent again!
The core members of the Rong Mansion present looked at Jia Huan in astonishment at the 'outrageous talk'.
Just seeing Jia Huan's face full of confidence and not looking like he was bragging at all, some indescribable strange emotion suddenly arose.
Where does this guy have the confidence and dominance to dare to say that even the royal family's children can be beaten without fail?
Only the old lady's eyes were the most complicated. There was not much shock in them, but only a strong look of memories and a sudden excitement.
Not to mention, the old lady is actually no stranger to such a scene!
During the heyday of Rongfu, there was such confidence and arrogance!
So what if the descendants of the royal family are provoked? The direct descendants of the Jia family will be beaten without fail!
The Pardon Master back then was known as the number one dandy in the capital, and this title was not just blown.
To put it bluntly, when Master Pardon was enjoying great glory, only the deposed prince could barely outdo him, and the rest of the princes did not have the courage to take advantage of him.
A little transparent prince like today is not even qualified to get close to Jia She!
It's not like Master Pardon has never beaten the prince before. Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor favored Master Pardon and severely punished the prince who took the initiative to cause trouble.
It’s not that the Supreme Emperor is truly selfless, but that the Rong Mansion has such strength!
The head of the Ning Mansion, Jia Daihua, was the military envoy of the Beijing camp, and his control over the Beijing camp was something that even the royal family did not dare to underestimate.
Jia Daishan, the head of the Rong Mansion, has just returned to the capital from the frontier fortress. He serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and is the well-deserved top spot in the Daqian military general system.
At that time, the Jia family in the capital had a unique position in the military.
Even the four kings of the opposite sex dare not say that they can beat the two heads of the Ningrong Second House!
It's a pity that such glorious days did not last long!
As the head of the Ning Mansion, Jia Daihua, died of illness, Jia Daishan was seriously injured in the battle to depose the crown prince, and he was also implicated and settled by the Queen of Autumn. The originally glorious Jia family in the capital fell rapidly.
Now, seeing Jia Huan's arrogant posture, the old lady felt a familiar rush. How could she still be calm?
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Mrs. Wang's unwilling and bitter face. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She just felt that Mrs. Wang was so stupid that she gave up her persistence.
Wang didn't even think about it. If Jia Huan became the legitimate son in name, it would be impossible not to take more care of Baoyu in the future, even if it was because of love.
In addition, this is also a necessary means to deepen its relationship with Rongfu!
So what if he is a member of the side tribe at this time?
As long as he carries the title of the legitimate son of his second wife, the relationship will naturally be much closer!
The reason why Mrs. Wang refused to agree was that her first thought was to do this. Jia Huan was likely to affect Jia Baoyu's interests. This was a subconscious reaction and her true thoughts.
Fortunately, Jia Huan did not need such icing on the cake to easily resolve a possible conflict invisibly.
"Old lady, when you were in the palace just now, His Majesty had already given the Viscount a residence, as well as all the necessary things and servants to serve you. Your grandson only needs to move in directly!"
"Here in the mansion, we can arrange for some loyal and honest families to have children there!"
"When the arrangements are made over there, my grandson will invite his relatives, friends and colleagues to a banquet to officially come over!"
"That's good, the arrangements are very good!"
The old lady nodded to express her satisfaction, but she made up her mind to choose the family she would send her to give birth to.
Jia Huan made it very clear that what he wanted was someone who was 'loyal and honest', so he should follow these conditions.
The old lady knows better than anyone what kind of urine the family in the house has when giving birth to a child.
There are just some things that she has become accustomed to. In addition, I am too old and just want to spend my old age in peace, so I have no time and energy to worry about it.
As for Mrs. Wang, the old lady had no intention of letting her interfere.
She didn't want to have a tense relationship with Jia Huan because of Mrs. Wang. It would be too much of a loss.
We are not close to each other in the first place. If something gets messed up again, how will we communicate in the future?
"By the way, what are Brother Huan's future plans?"
After talking about the family feud, the old lady asked Jia Huan about her plans for the future.
According to her thoughts, Jia Huan must actively integrate into the circle of the founding elite, and it is not impossible to even squeeze into the core layer with his own ability and authority.
The old lady had a plan in her mind and planned to show off her old face and help Jia Huan open up the situation!
I believe that with the help of old relatives, Jia Huan can more smoothly integrate into the inner circle of the founding heroes.
Thinking of this, the old lady's mood inevitably became complicated.
Since the death of Jia Daishan in the Battle of the Abandoned Prince, Rongfu has been kicked out of the core group of the Founding Group and has not been squeezed back in until now.
It is impossible to say that there is no resentment and dissatisfaction in my heart!
Think back to the beginning...
However, now that Jia Huan is rising strongly, and Rongfu will become a core member of the circle of founding nobles, I feel quite relieved.
Finally, in her lifetime, Rong Mansion rose again.
It's a pity that her idea is good, but she can't stand the rapid changes in the situation outside.
"Old lady, Your Majesty has already made arrangements!"
Jia Huan said in a deep voice: "There is such a big mess in the southwest, and now I want my grandson to come over and clean up the mess!"
Speaking of this, he said with an unsatisfied tone of "I hate iron but cannot become steel": "Even without His Majesty's arrangement, my grandson must go to the southwest frontier!"
Ignoring the shocked expressions of everyone present, he said to himself: "The defeat of Nan'an County Prince and the fact that he was captured by the enemy has made our founding noble group suffer a lot!"
"Brother Huan, aren't these words a bit exaggerated?"
The old lady frowned and said: "Even if the Prince of Nan'an County is defeated in the southwest and is captured by the Qianxiang Kingdom, it doesn't mean anything. After all, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers!"
"Besides, the Prince of Nan'an County sent troops with the permission of the current emperor, and he also pushed hard in secret. If something happens now, the current emperor cannot ignore it!"
The following words were not spoken, but everyone present knew it!
If the current emperor doesn't care, his credibility will be severely damaged. Who will dare to trust his promises in the future?
Even a dignified emperor cannot do some things, and he cannot take the initiative to break certain established rules, otherwise the backlash will be very serious.
