Chapter 324 Yu Family Banquet
The two chatted for a while, and then the two maids Yindie and Wenhua asked someone to bring the food over.
"Xiangling girl, there are only me and your grandfather here, so there is no need for you to take care of us! There is a table in the small hall in front, you can go and eat with Yindie, and when your grandfather is done eating, you can go back and serve him."
When Xiangling saw Jia Cong nod, she followed Yindie and the others.
Youshi picked up the chopsticks and served food to Jia Cong, then brought some warm wine and poured a glass for Jia Cong!
"Master, thank you for your protection these days! I have never experienced anything like this before. If it weren't for your soldiers by my side, I don't know what kind of disaster I would have suffered!"
Youshi picked up the wine glass and said to Jia Cong.
She was born in a small family, and her experience was similar to that of Lady Xing. When she encountered such a big event as the rebellion, she was almost scared out of her wits. Fortunately, Jia Cong had made arrangements in advance, otherwise, if people like them fell into the hands of the rebels, they would have a hard time dying!
Jia Cong drank it in one gulp, then said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, we are one family and we don't have to talk about our differences! Since I am here, I will not allow my family to be bullied!"
"That being said, we should still thank him!" Yu Shi said as she drank the cup herself and poured another one for Jia Cong.
"This second glass of wine is also for the master!"
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the master. Although I was the eldest lady in the mansion before , what kind of life was I leading? Not to mention the master of the mansion, even in the eyes of the servants, I was just a joke! How many of those old women, servants, and maids took me seriously before?"
Perhaps because she was talking about something sad, Youshi did it herself.
Jia Cong did not respond, but just drank the wine together!
"Fortunately, the master not only did not despise a foolish woman like me, but treated me with great kindness. He also let me manage the affairs of the mansion and gave me dignity. I really don't know how to repay him!"
Youshi filled the glasses for both of them again and said, "This third glass of wine is for a favor I want to ask of you, Master."
"My father was also a minor official, but I lost my mother when I was young. Later, he remarried. Although she was a stepmother, she really took care of me! After my father remarried, he died a few years later. The whole family depended on my stepmother to support them ."
"When my stepmother married into the You family, she brought my two younger sisters with her. Although my two younger sisters and I have different fathers and mothers, we get along very well. We would be no better than biological sisters."
"Master , you also know that in this world, my widowed mother and stepmother are raising two sisters, and there is no male in the family to support the family. How difficult it must be. So, I would like to ask the master to show me some mercy and find a house in the back street for my widowed mother and two sisters to live in. In addition to being able to come to the mansion to talk to me on weekdays, I can also take care of them."
"Although I didn't give birth to you, we are still mother and daughter. I used to live a muddled life on my own, so I naturally couldn't take care of my family much. Now, relying on the master's trust and care, I live a comfortable life, so I came up with this idea."
Jia Cong drank the wine in one gulp, and then said, "Since they are my sister-in-law's relatives, they are also my own family. Is such a small matter worth my sister-in-law's discussion? I got the advantage of this glass of wine."
"I asked Jia Zhong to come to look for my sister-in-law these past two days. He directly hired a carriage to pick up everyone. No matter where they are in the back street or in the mansion, my sister-in-law will take care of them! There are so many houses inside and outside our mansion, and they are empty anyway. In addition, after they come here, I will instruct my family to arrange the monthly allowance according to the mansion."
"It's not that luxurious, but at least I can have enough food and clothing!"
Seeing Jia Cong agreed without hesitation, Youshi felt warm in her heart!
In fact, Old Lady You also brought her two younger sisters to stay in the mansion for a while. After seeing them, Jia Zhen mentioned it to her and asked her to let the two younger sisters live in the mansion permanently.
How could Youshi not know what kind of person Jia Zhen was? If he really took care of the family for her sake, she would naturally be grateful. However, Jia Zhen only had eyes for the two younger sisters.
She had already been trapped and couldn't escape, so how could she let her two younger sisters fall into the hands of Jia Zhen and his father again?
Therefore, she, who had always been patient and even endured humiliation, had quarreled with Jia Zhen several times but never agreed to this matter! But now the situation is different from before.
First of all, Jia Cong and Jia Zhen are not comparable at all. If Jia Cong can take a fancy to the two younger sisters, it is a blessing for the two younger sisters and also her own luck. Therefore, she is happy for the two younger sisters to stay in the mansion for a while.
Haven't you seen what position Yuanyang is in now? Even if the two younger sisters are not as good as Yuanyang, if they follow Jia Cong, they will never suffer any grievances. In this way, both myself and the three of us will have someone to look forward to and a supporter in the future.
Just as she said, this world is indeed unfair to women.
Her mother despised the poor and loved the rich, and had always wanted to find wealthy families for her two younger sisters. Yu Shi did not object to this, and even agreed with it.
How did their family live after leaving the doorpost?
Moreover, beauty is a disaster! For ordinary people, beauty is not a good thing! They cannot resist the power of the rich and powerful, and beauty may bring them harm and misery.
In this world, one thing has never changed, that is, most of the good things are exclusive accessories of the powerful. Ordinary people have this kind of beauty, but they don't have the right to protect it, and the ending is most likely to be tragic. However, accessories are accessories after all, and for these women, the powerful mostly just treat them as playthings.
So what if it was her? Did Jia Zhen ever really take her to heart?
Jia Cong not only has enough power to protect his sisters, but he is also kind and compassionate! Therefore, if his younger sister can follow Jia Cong, it will definitely be a good thing.
Besides, she also has to think about herself!
Now Jia Cong trusted her and asked her to help manage the household, but it was estimated that Jia Cong would get married in two or three years at most. By then, how could she, a sister-in-law, help her brother-in-law manage the household? At that time, how would she live in the mansion? Even if she continued to live there, it would be inappropriate.
If his younger sister followed Jia Cong, then he could barely be considered as staying at his sister's house, just like the Xue family staying at the Jia Mansion. Although it would also be something that people would talk about, it would still be a good reputation.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Youshi made up her mind to let her two younger sisters enter the house.
In terms of looks, my two younger sisters are not inferior to the girls in the mansion, especially the second younger sister. Not only is she pretty, but she is also rare to be well-behaved and docile, just like Keqing. As long as she enters the mansion, is there any fear that she will not have any opportunities?
