Since then, Xia Lu's family lived in Ningguo Province. Xia Lu stayed in the Sakura Temple to learn how to sew. Her mother personally taught her how to sew. Earlier, the Eldest Young Mistress of Rongguo Province praised her for being a good worker. In order to avoid exposing herself, she had to know how to sew a purse. Even though her daughter's hands were covered in blood, this time, Xia Lu's mother really hardened her heart and insisted that her daughter learn how to sew a purse.
Xia Lu lived a miserable life learning how to sew a purse. Her younger brother, Xia Ji, was not idle either. He was arranged by Jia Jing to study in the Jia family's school. Xia Fu was busier. After all, in the capital, there were many people who were interested in him. Since he came to the capital, he naturally had to pay them a visit.
"I heard that your brother's personal guard, Xia Shiwei, has returned to the capital and is living in Ningguo Province?" The Emperor asked.
"Yes, he returned to the capital a few days ago for his daughter's marriage," Jia Daishan quickly replied.
"His daughter's marriage?" The Emperor was a little confused.
"In the early years, he insisted on returning to the border. Now that his children have grown up, he knows that the border is not as good as the capital. These years, Your Majesty has governed the country well and the border has always been peaceful. However, the barbarians in the north are very ambitious and are eyeing our Da Qian covetously. In the end, he loves his daughter dearly. How do the barbarians treat women? It's simply infuriating. In the end, he is afraid and wants to marry his daughter to the capital. Thus, he begs Jing 'er," Jia Daishan told the Emperor what he knew.
"He is a kind father. In the past, there were not many old people who followed me to conquer the world. Your brother passed away a few years ago. Since he wants to find a good family for his daughter, I can also satisfy him. Although her status is not high, I can make an exception and let her be the Crown Prince's concubine," the Emperor thought and said.
Jia Daishan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, "Your, Your Majesty."
"What's wrong?" The Emperor looked at the Jia Daishan.
Jia Daishan tried his best to calm himself down. The Rong and Ning Mansions could not be involved in the fight for the throne. The princes had all grown up, and the Crown Prince was getting more and more muddle-headed. Xia was a bodyguard of Ningguo Province. If his daughter was sent to be the Crown Prince's concubine, the Rong and Ning Mansions would not be peaceful.
"It's, it's just that I'm afraid you're a step too late. Jing 'er, Jing' er has the intention of marrying a Summer Girl for his son." Jia Daishan remembered what Jia Jing had revealed to him earlier. This was the perfect time to reject the Emperor. As for rejecting the Emperor's request to Xia family, he felt that he was still saving the Summer Girl's life. Over the years, countless palace maids and concubines had died mysteriously in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. As the commander of the imperial guards, he knew a thing or two about the Crown Prince's fetish.
"I remember. Didn't Jia Jing's son get married?" The Emperor thought for a while and said.
"That child was unlucky. After a few years of marriage, he did not have any children. That girl died of an illness. There were only three months left before the mourning period was over," Jia Daishan said. "So it's like that.
When will you bring him to the palace to talk about the old days? I still remember that he saved me. I originally wanted to reward him, but he said that he did not want anything. He should save me. Moreover, he did not want to leave your brother. Your brother saved him, and he has always remembered it in his heart, "the Emperor said with emotion. In the end, he also envied Jia Daihua for having such a sincere person by his side.
"He has always been someone who knows how to repay kindness. In the end, he left the capital and went to the border. He said that he couldn't bear to part with his brothers at the border, but in reality, he was afraid that he would cause trouble for Big Brother." Thinking about how much trouble he had dealt with for his old subordinates over the years, he couldn't even count it himself. That person had only come to the capital for his daughter this time. Sigh, people are really different.
After coming out of the palace, Jia Daishan realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat. Fortunately, the Emperor only wanted to make an exception to let the Crown Prince take in a concubine because Xia had saved the Emperor's life before. After all, the daughter of a sixth-rank military officer was not qualified to be the Crown Prince's concubine.
Xia Lu was struggling with her needlework in her room. She had no idea that she had almost gone to one of the most dangerous places in the world. After all, on the battlefield, you would be the only one who died. However, the imperial palace was different. If something happened, it would affect the entire family and clan.
"Sister."
Xia Ji came back and put the book on the table. He seemed to be listless.
"What's wrong?" Xia Lu put down the embroidery cloth and needlework. It was obviously a white embroidered cloth, but it was dyed red by Xia Lu's blood.
Xia Ji pouted. It was not a gentleman to talk behind someone's back, but he was anxious.
"When did you learn to be a girl? Why are you being so wishy-washy? What's the matter?" Xia Lu tried to provoke him. She knew very well that her brother hated it when others compared him to a girl.
"It's just that the family school in Ningguo Province is really ordinary." In the end, he could not say anything more ruthless. "The teacher's teaching standard is even worse than my previous teacher. Whether it's the new students or the students who entered before me, they are all taught the same thing. There's no concept of class division at all." He had thought that after coming to the capital, he would be able to meet two good teachers. Now, it seemed that he had been too naive.
Xia Lu remembered what had happened in the Jia family school when she was reading Dream of the Red Chamber. She quivered and quickly asked, "Did you encounter anything worse when you were studying there?" If he had met a boy and a boy falling in love, then she would definitely not let her brother go there again. It was not that she looked down on boys falling in love. In her previous life, she was in the makeup industry, so the circle she came into contact with was quite complicated. She had seen many boy and boy falling in love. At that time, the circle was actually quite complicated. It was mainly because the world did not tolerate it and it was easy for people's hearts to be distorted.
That was the modern era, which was several times more open than the ancient era. Even the modern era could not tolerate it, let alone the ancient era. It was ingrained in one's bones. Her brother was not originally gay. What if he became gay?
"Something worse? Sister, what do you mean? "Xia Ji was puzzled.
"Nothing. If you think that the teacher here is not good at teaching, wait for father to come back and ask him to find you another teacher." Xia Lu touched her brother's head and thought, Jia Jing had not become a monk yet. Moreover, Jia Daishan was not dead yet. Although the Jia family school had a bad atmosphere, it was not as bad as after Jia Baoyu entered the school. Thinking of this, Xia Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking about the future of the Jia family, she decided that even if she really married in the capital, she would stay away from the Jia family.
However, she had to stay away from the Jia Family. She had to carry out her usual etiquette and avoid too much contact with the Jia Family. Otherwise, she would be implicated by the Jia Family and would have no place to cry.
Xia Lu thought very well, but she did not know that she could not completely separate herself from the Jia family in the future. Because she had become the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, and the daughter-in-law of the person with the worst reputation.
"Go and ask Jing 'er to come here. I have an urgent matter with him." After Jia Daishan returned to the mansion, he hurriedly ordered the servants to ask Jia Jing to come here.
"Yes." The servants quickly went to do it.
When Jia Jing returned to the mansion and heard that her uncle was looking for her, she hurriedly rushed to Xi Province through Jiaomen.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Jia Jing went to Jia Daishan's study and was a little confused.
"Sit down. I have something to tell you. Today, His Majesty asked about Summer Girl. He wants to take Summer Girl to be the Crown Prince's concubine …"
"Absolutely not." Before Jia Daishan could finish, Jia Jing hurriedly said.
"I also know that it's absolutely not possible. The princes have all grown up. The Crown Prince is getting more and more muddle-headed and has that kind of hobby. If Summer Girl becomes the Crown Prince's concubine, it's like walking into a fire pit. Moreover, given the relationship between Summer Girl and our Jia family, when the time comes and the fight for the throne, can our Jia family stay out of it? I want to marry Min 'er to Ruhai because I don't want to be involved in the fight for the throne. "Thinking back, when he heard that a prince wanted to marry Min' er as his concubine, he hurriedly betrothed Min 'er to Ruhai. At that time, Ruhai had not finished third in the imperial examination. Moreover, his father had died early and he had no other relatives. Although there had been five generations of marquises, it was all in the past. Ruhai himself did not have any title. Compared to the Jia family in Di Xin, it was really not enough.
"That's why I told His Majesty that you have taken a fancy to Summer Girl for Zheng 'er," Jia Daishan said.
"Jing 'er understands. I'll arrange it now. Jing' er will mention it to Dong Ge in the evening," Jia Jing said.
"Don't mention the Crown Prince's concubine to Summer Girl first. Let's see how he reacts first." Although Jia Daishan trusted Xia Fu's character, they had not seen each other for more than twenty years. If he was blinded by vanity, they had to make early arrangements.
