The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 557

"It's really unexpected that my uncle's business is so smooth, and he can go to Beijing to report on his work so soon. It's really the emperor's grace, God bless."

In the flower hall of the west courtyard of Rongxi Hall, Jiamu sits in the middle, with Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li, and Sister Feng on her left, and Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun on her right.

After hearing Jia Mu's words, Sister Feng quickly echoed, "Yes, Uncle Lin is really good at dancing, with superb means, and managed Jiangsu and Zhejiang in order in just a few months. This is why he is favored by the Holy Majesty, and he is allowed to come to Beijing to report on his duties."

"Yeah, remembering that Min'er has been married for many years, and now she has become a countess, and even Daiyu has become the head of the county. Seeing that the Lin family is about to prosper, I am really happy." Jiamu said, touching Holding Daiyu's hand, there is joy in his eyes.

It turns out that the Lin family is also a meritorious founding father, a hereditary marquis, and has lived through the fifth generation.At the beginning, only the third generation was enshrined, because today's Long En Shengde is far ahead of the previous generation, with extra grace, to the father of Ruhai, and another generation is inherited. "That is to say, the ancestors of the Lin family had inherited the title of Marquis, and the father of Ruhai was the last generation. When Ruhai was reached, the foundation of the Lin family was exhausted, and the virtue of a gentleman was cut off for five generations. The Lin family was not prosperous. , the descendants are limited, although there are several families, they are all in the same family as Ruhai, and they have no close relatives.

However, Lin Ruhai first showed his skills in Yangzhou patrolling salt yamen, and was named a loyal viscount. After only a few months as an inspector in the official circles of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was able to solve a major case of government collusion with Japanese pirates. Calmly arranging manpower, and refilling the emperor's private treasury and treasury with millions of taels of silver, it can be said that he has made outstanding achievements.

So Lin Ruhai was named Earl of Fuchang by the emperor and went to Beijing next month to report on his work and receive awards.

This is a very high honor for a local official.

Of course, Jia Min became the countess as a matter of course, and Madam Xing's imperial order was not worse than that of Mrs. Yiren Wang, of course.

The Lin family was naturally happy to receive such a high honor, so Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's letter was sent to Rongguo Mansion.

Of course, there were more than one letter. Some letters were written by Jia Min to his mother, some by Lin Ruhai to his uncles Jia She and Jia Zheng, and some by the couple to Daiyu.

Along with the letter, there was also a gift from the Lin family.

More than 20 boxes were packed, and there are a variety of special products and valuables in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which dazzled everyone's eyes.

Mother Jia is very lively, and immediately used this excuse to hold another family banquet.

After the family banquet, when everyone was chatting happily, suddenly Lin Zhixiao's family came in hurriedly and said: "Old lady, first lady, second wife, something happened in Dongfu?"

"What happened?" Mother Jia asked in horror.

"Uncle Zhen from the East Mansion fell from the Chunlu Tower, and his bones were broken."

"What, tell me in detail."

The detail was from the house of Wang Jinbao, the new woman in charge of the Ning Mansion: "Go back to the old lady, the eldest wife, the second wife, concubine, ladies and gentlemen." Lin Zhixiao's family reported, "Master Zhen went to Chunlulou for a drink at noon today. He Ren got into an argument and was pushed down from the second floor, broke his waist, and was afraid he couldn't move. After being sent back to the mansion, he fell into a coma, and Uncle Rong has already sent someone to invite the imperial physician."

"Chunlulou? This bastard who doesn't care about his body! Who the hell dares to push him? Have you reported to the official?" Mother Jia asked eagerly.

"Back to the old lady, the grandson Shaozong and the second grandson of Shuntian Mansion have investigated the scene and solved the case. It turned out that Master Zhen was drunk in Chunlu Building and swearing at people indiscriminately, which aroused the anger in the compartment. The man on the other side turned out to be on the run. The thief Jiang Yang, who was also drunk, got into a quarrel with Master Zhen in anger. He couldn't control it for a while and pushed Master Zhen down the second floor. Master Zhen's waist just hit the stone pier where the flagpole was placed. Moved. Now Second Master Sun has issued a sea arrest document to capture the escaped Jiangyang bandit."

Mother Jia scolded a few times, and then hurriedly asked: "Did you go to inform your family to respect the old man?"

"Go back to the old lady, brother Rong has sent someone to the temple to report to our grand master."

"Wang Jinbao's family, you go to Brother Lian and ask him to visit Uncle Zhen first and help with the management. It's not going well this year." Mother Jia sighed.

In the evening, Sister Feng and Heping'er were listening to several housekeepers reporting various matters in the house, and Jia Lian came back in a hurry.Sister Feng quickly asked everyone to leave, and Ping'er waited on Jia Lian to change clothes.

"What's the matter? How is Uncle Zhen doing now?"

"My life is saved, but this life is also ruined. From now on, I can only lie on the bed and be served by others."

"So serious?" Sister Feng was taken aback.

"Oh, who's to say it's not." Jia Lian seemed to be a little bit angry, and sat there sighing, "Wang Taiyi and several doctors have seen it, and said that a person fell from the second floor, but it was a flaw, and he didn't die. It’s already a great fortune, it’s not bad to be able to survive, although you can only lie in bed for the rest of your life, but your consciousness is still there, you can eat and talk, and you are not a living dead.”

Sister Feng couldn't help sighing, she knew what Jia Zhen was, she was usually the most dissolute, she wanted to enjoy herself every day, but now she was lying on the bed like a living dead, but she could eat and talk, this was the most tormenting.

"You said that Uncle Zhen is very nice. Why do you drink and scold others in Chunlulou? Does this bring disaster? There are all kinds of people in a dirty place like Chunlulou. When you drink, who knows who you are?" What is the third-rank general Wei Lie?" Sister Feng sighed, and then took Jia Lian's hand again: "Master, you must keep in mind what Master Zhen committed, and you must never learn from him. If you are like this, Tell me what to do with eldest sister?" Sister Feng couldn't help but shed a few tears when she said this.

Jia Lian also sighed, grabbed Sister Feng's hand, and remained silent.

He was also taken aback in his heart, thinking that every time he drank flower wine outside, he would talk and talk without any scruples. If he met someone who was not open to him outside, and if he got hit by someone, his life would be over.

Thinking about Xue Pan being arrested and sent to a labor camp, this is simply a blessing from God.

Although Jia Zhen is alive, it is almost as if she is dead, and she can no longer leave the bed. This situation is no different from Jia Jing going to Guanli to become a Taoist priest, and the position of head of the family can no longer be held.

The so-called home cannot be left without an owner for a day. The news of Jia Zhen's serious injury was reported to the Ministry of Rites on the same day, and then the Ministry of Rites forwarded it to the palace.When Emperor Xiaode saw this situation, he just smiled coldly and didn't take it seriously.

However, he is the emperor after all, and he still has political considerations, so he issued a decree, thinking of the achievements of Jia's ancestors, and his descendants were unfortunately injured in their prime of life, so he passed down the decree to inherit Ningguo's mansion for one more life, and named Jia Rong, the direct son of Ningguo's mansion, as Lieutenant Qingche allowed Ningguo Mansion to barely continue the dignity of the founding lord's family.

Jia Rong kowtowed to thank God, received the decree, and officially became the master and son of Ningguo Mansion.As for the patriarch of the Jia family, it still needs to be discussed in a meeting of the clan, and it will be settled in the ancestral hall.

As for Mr. Jing, he only replied one sentence: He couldn't bear to see his son become a living dead, so he could just let his grandson Jia Rong do it easily.

When Jia Rong came to Rongguo Mansion, she first kowtowed to the old lady, first lady, and second wife, and informed about the relevant affairs of the East Mansion, then knelt down and kowtowed to make a request.
