The eldest son of the red mansion

This time, the iron chain of the ghost messenger seemed to be repelled by something, and it was retracted into the hands of the ghost messenger.

And Jia Zhu's soul also seemed to be drawn by something, and floated towards his body, and sank into it after a while, and the body disappeared.

Seeing this situation, the ghost messenger also looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that this time they might encounter something they didn't understand, so he didn't dare to wait any longer. disappeared.

After they left, two golden figures floated out from the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion.

The two of them looked at the departing ghost messenger, glanced at each other, then smiled, and then took a relieved look at the golden light, then turned into two golden lights, and returned to the ancestral hall.

But it was said that after Jia Zhu's soul returned to her body, she forgot about the past in just one turn, and she didn't know how long she fell into a coma before she woke up.

Jia Zhu opened her eyes and looked around, and found that she was in her own room, surrounded by her parents, wife and elder brother Jia Ke.He didn't say anything else, he just looked at Jia Zheng and said, "My lord, my son has not let you down. He finished the paper before he fell into a coma. You can definitely pass this subject."

After listening to his words, Jia Zheng couldn't help crying. Jia Zhu was still thinking about the imperial examination at this time. Who wouldn't like such a son?

And Jia Ke also began to admire Jia Zhu at this time. This is really because of the imperial examination. For a person like Jia Ke who values ​​​​life more than the sky, Jia Zhu's thoughts and actions are completely incompetent. Understand, doesn't he know that haste makes waste.

Chapter 287

As soon as Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zhu wake up, she immediately went to his bedside, screaming incessantly.When Li Wan saw her husband wake up, she also came to the bedside with a pleasant expression on her face.

Seeing Jia Zhu waking up, this is no longer the place to talk, so Jia Ke winked at Jia Zheng, and then said to the old doctor Lu: "This time, my younger brother will be safe and sound, and I need to rely on the old doctor, please." Follow us to the outer room to talk."

The old doctor Lu immediately understood what Jia Ke meant, so he followed Jia Zheng and Jia Ke to Jia Zheng's small study.

As soon as he entered the study, Jia Zheng couldn't wait to ask: "How should the old doctor take care of the children in the future?"

"From now on, take two pieces of thousand-year-old ginseng every other month, and mix it with a six- to seventy-year-old or one-two-hundred-year-old ginseng, and take it according to the method I said today. It's not safe to think about it for a year or two." Mr. Lu The imperial physician still answered slowly.

Holding his last hope, Jia Zheng asked the old doctor Lu again: "Is there really no other way for the old doctor?"

"I understand Mr. Jia's mood, but how can manpower be able to return to heaven, and the medicine that your son took before was too violent, and it has completely hollowed out your body. Now, the millennium ginseng can only slightly To slow down the loss of yang qi, if you want to return to heaven, please forgive me for being old and incompetent, it is really incapable of this."

This time Jia Zheng was completely desperate. He had high hopes for Jia Zhu, and almost regarded him as his own shadow.

Suddenly Jia Zheng remembered what old doctor Lu said earlier, "The medicine I used before was too strong." What does this mean?Although he knew that Jia Zhu was taking medicine all the year round, all the medicines he used were warming and tonic, and there was absolutely no possibility of any violent medicine.

So he widened his eyes and asked: "Old doctor, maybe you are wrong. The children have been taking warming and tonic prescriptions, and there is absolutely no medicine with strong properties."

"It's absolutely impossible. When I took your son's pulse just now, I found out that your son had taken a refreshing medicine, but the medicine was too strong, and the after-effects were very severe. If your son hadn't taken this medicine, then A thousand-year-old ginseng is enough to save your son's life." Seeing Jia Zheng questioning herself, the old doctor Lu immediately answered him firmly.

After Jia Zheng heard this, he couldn't care less about anything else, he slammed the door and walked into Jia Zhu's room.

Jia Ke knew that Jia Zheng's visit was bound to have some ups and downs, and it was not easy for him to get involved.

So Jia Ke took out a few banknotes from her bosom and sent them to the old doctor Lu, "It's a bit abrupt to invite the old doctor here in such a hurry. Still works."

Old Madam Lu saw that the work was over, and that Jia Ke had accepted her favor, and today's work was considered complete, so she took the money and left to return home.

Jia Ke waited for a while, thinking that the wind and rain on Jia Zheng's side had passed, and then returned to Jia Zhu's house.

As soon as Jia Ke entered the door, he saw Jia Zheng angrily pointing at Jia Zhu and yelling, "You useless and unintelligent slave, how dare you secretly use such poison. Now you have ruined your body and made your parents worry about it."

At this time, Jia Zhu knelt on the bed and kept crying, but endured Jia Zheng's roar without saying a word.

And Mrs. Wang stood on the side and kept crying, her expression was very sad, but her eyes seemed to flicker.

Jia Ke hurried up to persuade Jia Zheng: "Father, it's not time to be angry now. The second brother is already so seriously ill, he should rest as much as he can, and don't let him get hurt any more?"

Under Jia Ke's constant persuasion, Jia Zheng slowly extinguished his anger. He sat on the chair and sighed like he was ten years old. Then he grabbed Jia Ke's hand and began to sob. It seems that Jia Zheng To Jia Zhu is the deep love and responsibility.

Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng's behavior was not an option, and Jia Zhu had nothing to do here for the time being, so he helped Jia Zheng out of Jia Zhu's room and back to the small study. Mrs. Wang was also a little worried about Jia Zheng, so she also Followed behind, came to the small study together.

After Jia Zheng returned to the small study, he was choked with sobs and couldn't help himself. Jia Ke comforted him again and again, and Jia Zheng calmed down slowly, and said to Jia Ke: "Do you know what medicine you took for that evil person? , What kind of medicine is this? I have never heard of it. If he hadn't told me, I would not have known that there is such a poison in the world. This evil person is so eager for quick success."

Hearing what Jia Zheng said, Jia Ke guessed that Jia Zhu had concealed the fact that Mrs. Wang had given him the medicine. Jia Zhu seemed really a dutiful son.But not only Jia Zhu, but the entire Jia family has done a good job in filial piety.The Jia family really never had an unfilial descendant, even a bastard like Jia Amnesty was obedient to Jia's mother without any disobedience.

Jia Ke thought for a while, then pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Excuse me, father, what kind of medicine is this drug? It is so powerful. If I know the effect of the medicine and use my ability to visit famous doctors, I can't get it right. It can also save the second brother."

After Jia Zheng heard Jia Ke's words, he thought about it in his mind. Jia Ke is now considered inferior and above ten thousand mountains. If he really wants to find a famous doctor, there is no famous doctor in the world that he can't find.If one or two people who can cure the poison can be found, Jia Zhu can be regarded as a new man.

"This poisonous drug is called A Fu Rong, and it was brought from overseas. They only said that this drug can refresh the mind, but they don't know that if you take too much of this drug, it will damage the body and make people unable to give up. That evil has already taken this drug." It's been a long time since I took the medicine, and even though I quit it now, the damage to my body can't come back." Jia Zheng said tearfully.

After listening to Jia Zheng's words, Mrs. Wang also had tears in her eyes. She felt that she was sorry for Jia Zhu in this matter. If she hadn't recommended this medicine like Jia Zhu, he wouldn't be waiting to die like this now.

Jia Ke seemed to know the name of the medicine just now, and walked back and forth in the room several times.Then he turned around and said to Jia Zheng: "My lord, this matter should not be rushed for a while. The old doctor's medical skills in Chaozhonglu are already the highest. He can't do anything about it. I'm afraid the others will be even worse. I'd better send someone to go there." , Make a careful investigation among the people to see if you can find a doctor with a good skill."

Jia Zheng naturally knew the medical skills of the old doctor Lu. Since he had no choice, he could only procrastinate and see if Jia Ke could find a famous doctor in the end.

At this time, in Jia Zhu's room, Jia Zhu on the bed was also in tears. He has just got married and his wife is pregnant. If he leaves and leaves behind orphans and widows, how will he live in the future?

Li Zhi, who was on the side, felt even more at a loss when she heard that Jia Zhu was dying. She was also afraid of her future fate.If Jia Zhu is gone, leaving her orphans and widowed mother, I'm afraid it's better to die.So the husband and wife were relatively speechless, and finally held each other's hands and burst into tears.

The matter of Jia Zhu passed away like this. After Jia Ke returned to Wuyang Hou Mansion, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was a pity that Jia Zhu went just like this.So a few days later, he sent someone to greet Shun Tian Fu Yin again, and asked him to take care of the family for his own sake.

This is the second time that Shuntian Fu Yin has received Jia Ke's words. Knowing the importance of Jia Zhu to Jia Ke, he disregarded the official rules and came to the Gongyuan in person to say hello to Xuezheng inside. Xuezheng also became anxious, knowing that if he offended Jia Ke, as long as he said anything casually, people like himself might have to go to other places to become a petty official.

So Shuntian Fu Yin and Shuntian Xuezheng took out Jia Zhu's paper overnight. After reading Jia Zhu's paper, the two of them only felt that this paper was well written in the beginning, but at the end it was not good. It's getting worse and worse. If you follow the rules, you can't win anyway.But since Jia Ke had spoken, how could they dare to resist, and finally discussed it, and felt that if Jia Zhu was given the first name, the world would probably have discussions, so they decided to give him No. Why not please Jia Ke?

Soon after, Shuntian Mansion announced that Jia Zhu ranked third. Jia Zhu was overjoyed when he got the news.However, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were not at all happy. They knew that Jia Zhu was paid for by his life.

After Jia Ke heard the news, she couldn't help but sigh. After all, Jia Zhu's fate was different from that in Dream of Red Mansions. At least he is now a juren, unlike in Dream of Red Mansions, where he was just a scholar who just entered school.

Next, two happy events happened in Jia's house in succession, which can be regarded as diluting the sad atmosphere brought by Yin Jiazhu.

The first thing was that Li Wan gave birth in November, and as expected, she gave birth to a fat boy.Jia Zheng personally named the child Jia Lan.And Jia's mother finally had a fourth-generation great-grandson. Although Jia's mother rewarded some items, she was not too excited. She still focused her attention on Jia Baoyu. I didn't know that Jia Zhu was going to die soon. .Otherwise, just because Jia Zhu was about to die, he would reward him generously.

The next thing that happened was Jia Lian's marriage. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had already been engaged, and Mrs. Wang presided over this busy marriage.Moreover, Wang Xifeng was extremely beautiful, and Jia Lian had nothing to say about it.

But Jia Lian's father, Jia She, has become chaotic since Aunt Zhang's death. He only knows about eating, drinking and having fun, and doesn't care much about these things.What's more, he still has a lump in his heart about Jia Lian. Although he has no intention of pursuing it after so many years, it is really impossible for him to continue to care about Jia Lian as before.

Jia Ke really understood Jia She's attitude at this time.After all, the death of the person he loves the most is related to Jia Lian. This person may be the only woman Jia She has ever loved in his life, and now she has become a cinnabar mole in his heart.

In the Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia She said several times that he wanted to pass the title to Jia Huan. This is also one of the biggest mysteries in the Red Chamber. Why didn't Jia She pass the title to his own son Jia Lian?Or Jia Baoyu, who is the most favored in the Jia family, wants to pass on the title to an unpopular "mud monkey", and this "mud monkey" is just a concubine of Jia Zheng, who doesn't know the real truth. What happened in Dream of the Red Chamber?

But now Jia Ke knows that Jia Lian's position will be awkward in the future, and it seems that he can only take care of the general affairs for the Rongguo Mansion just like in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

The grandeur of Jia Lian's wedding day even surpassed Jia Ke's wedding that day, especially Wang Xifeng's ten miles of red makeup, which shocked the whole capital.No wonder Wang Xifeng once said in A Dream of Red Mansions that just digging out the seams of their house would be enough for Jia's house to last for a few years.One can tell from Wang Xifeng, Wang Ziteng's niece.

Jia Lian's wedding was held in Rongxi Hall as usual, and almost all the people in the Jia family came, except Qin Keqing who was pregnant and Jia Ke forced her to rest at home.

But Wang Ziteng personally came to see off the relatives once at the Wangfu. This time, he showed it to the people in the capital.

Chapter 288 Visit

Less than a month after Jia Lian got married, a major event happened in Rongguo Mansion that no one thought of.That is, Mother Jia decided on her own to let Wang Xifeng assist Mrs. Wang in managing Rongguo Mansion, and arranged Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's courtyard in a small courtyard directly behind Rongxi Hall. Although this courtyard has only a dozen rooms, it is beautifully decorated. The most important thing is that this courtyard, like Rongxi Hall, is on the central axis of Rongguo Mansion.

In this way, Mrs. Wang's courtyard seems to have become a side courtyard, and Wang Xifeng has officially started to take charge of the Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, Mrs. Wang withdrew from the position of a stone's throw. Except for major matters, everything else was handed over to Wang Xifeng, so Wang Xifeng has actually become the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion.
