The eldest son of the red mansion

Shi Nai said helplessly: "It's not that you don't know the things in our mansion. Almost all of them were lost back then, and only this one is left. When my father died, he had arranged for a personal soldier to leave me a message. My son said that it would only be sold when it was a last resort. I thought that the mansion was at the end of its rope, so I used this treasure to tell Taoist Zhang that as long as I could find a wealthy family for Xiangyun, I could help In the mansion, this treasure belongs to him."

You must know that this jade gourd is very important. In order to obtain this item, Jiamu's elder brother Shi Laohou offended two or three princes of the imperial court.

Because of this, Lord Shi's position in the imperial court was somewhat unstable, and many people had already become hostile to Lord Shi under the shuttle of the three princes.

What's so great about this gourd that it makes so many dignitaries think about it?

To say this, I am afraid it is a bit difficult to say.At that time, the Supreme Emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and his father was in charge of the world.

As soon as the emperor came to the throne, he wanted to build the imperial mausoleum. The same is true for the emperor Taizong, who chose a place of ten thousand years for himself in the west mountain of the capital.

Everything was fine when the imperial mausoleum was built, but when it was halfway through the construction, an ancient tomb was dug out at the bottom when the dedication hall was being built.

This surprised the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty at that time. You must know that every time the imperial tomb was built, the Ministry of Industry would investigate in advance.How is it possible to find other people's tombs underground?

In the end, Emperor Taizong was arbitrary and had the tomb dug clean, and then sent a mage to suppress the owner of the tomb.

This matter fell on Lord Shi Laohou, so Shi Laohou had no choice but to dig up the tomb passage with his soldiers. Fearing that there would be any danger, Lord Shi Laohou asked the soldiers to use live chickens and ducks to test first.

It turned out that he was safe and sound, so Old Master Shi led the man into the tomb.When they entered the tomb, they saw nothing in the entire tomb except the coffin of the tomb owner.

Master Shi Lao Hou asked people to open the coffin, and when he looked at you, he was stunned.

It turned out that there was a stunning woman lying in the coffin, who had been buried here for an unknown number of years, but she was so lifelike.She seemed to be asleep, but her cheeks were still rosy.

Everyone has never heard of this matter, has never seen it, and is a little at a loss.From now on, Lord Shi Laohou would play in person, and a jade gourd was found in the woman's bosom.

This jade gourd seemed to be made of ordinary jade, nothing unusual, but as soon as this gourd left the corpse, the corpse quickly rotted, turning into a pair of dead bones in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Master Shi realize that this jade gourd is a rare treasure.

So Old Master Shi became selfish and carried the jade gourd in his arms.He thought he was doing it strictly, but he didn't want to be seen by the soldiers next to him.

So this gossip spread, and several old princes who were not young at the time, got the news, and immediately prepared generous gifts to pay a visit to Master Shi Laohou's mansion.

The purpose of these princes is the same, that is, to buy this jade gourd with a lot of money, and at that time, it was like Mr. Shi Laohou made a promise that as long as Mr. Shi Laohou sold this jade gourd, the future glory and wealth of the historian Just put it on them.

Unexpectedly, Master Shi Laohou had invited an expert to see this jade gourd long ago.One of the cultivators was astonished when he saw the green gourd, and finally told Mr. Shi that it was a rare treasure that could bring people back to life and ascend to heaven.

Now that Master Shi knew how powerful this treasure was, how could he sell it to these princes to be buried with him, so he sternly refused.

Therefore, these people were annoyed, and they began to fight against Master Shi in court, and would use political pressure to force Master Shi to sell this treasure.

Even the Emperor Taizong at that time saw that he was not young and peeped at this treasure, but he had a good reputation and could not leave a bad name for one thing, so these people isolated Mr. Shi in the court. Marquis.

Fortunately, Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo at that time, still had some ability. There were many former students and old officials in each army. No robbery.

That's why Shi Laohou also kept this treasure, but it also left a root of disaster.

More than ten years later, the Tatars went south, so all the courtiers recommended Master Shi Laohou as the front. The old Houye could only take 5000 soldiers to the north to meet the Tatars, but was surrounded by a solid mountain.

At that time, Master Shi Laohou persisted in Tushan for 7 days and 7 nights. Almost all the 5000 infantry were wiped out, and three to 4000 Tatars were killed or wounded.

As a result, Mr. Hou waited for the reinforcements to arrive, and was finally forced to commit suicide.

After Master Shi's death, the rich and powerful were still thinking about this jade gourd. As a result, this incident annoyed Rong Guogong Jia Daishan.

He was furious in the court. The emperor at the time felt a little headache seeing this situation. After all, the civil and military officials and the princes were also wronged. Just because of one thing, the current general was killed and 5000 soldiers were lost. Ma, this can't be justified anywhere.

In the end, the emperor still came out to make the mud, and the court announced that the item was passed down among the descendants of Master Shi, and as long as they didn't make a move, no one could take it away, so he appeased Duke Rong Jia Daishan.

Later, when Mother Jia heard about this incident, she began to be a little jealous of this thing, thinking that it was a bit evil, so she asked these two nephews to present the things to change their official positions. At that time, Old Master Shi told him not to sell this green gourd until the end of the mountain.

Therefore, in the past few years, although everyone no longer mentioned the matter of the jade gourd, the official positions of the two historians have not been changed, and they can only live with the two empty tubes.

Chapter 461 Token

After listening to Shi Nai's confession, Jia's mother couldn't help crying again.I only knew that the two nephews of my natal family were having a hard time, but I didn't expect to have reached this point.If she had known earlier, she would have lowered her head, and she would never let her nephews give away the only treasure left by her brother.

Moreover, this incident could have been avoided, but now this treasure fell into the hands of Taoist Zhang for no reason.

It's too late to repent now, and besides, the Jia family can't do such a robbery.

And when Jia Mu thought about the treasure that his elder brother had fought so hard to get, the colic in her heart disappeared for no reason. Others could not understand, so now he is crying like rain.

Seeing that Jia's mother was crying again, Jia Zheng quickly persuaded, "Mother, don't do this. If we cry for good or bad, how can we, the younger generations, feel at ease."

The mandarin duck standing next to Jia Mu hurriedly gave Jia Mu a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.

After Jia's mother silenced her grief, she said to Jia Zheng who was next to her, "Take time to tell your eldest brother that they are all relatives, so please help if you can."

Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said to Jia Mu: "Don't worry, mother, I will tell my elder brother when I get back. At least I will make a real job for Brother Nai."

When Jia Mu heard what Jia Zheng said, she was relieved, turned around and said to Shi Nai: "Since you are here, the previous things will be clouded. As for Xiangyun, you can think about it again. Although married Giving it to our eldest brother doesn't count as wronging her, but it's a concubine after all. It's hard to say if you say it."

Shi Nai saw that Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion were so prosperous, how could he let go of this opportunity?Otherwise, this time, it was Jia Ke who assigned him a position, and he would end up here after the relationship faded.

So Shi Nai hurriedly said: "Auntie can't be like this. Since the two families have already made an agreement, how can they go back on their word? Besides, the four major families have intermarried for a long time. To put it bluntly, there are only old ladies in our Shi family and Jia family now. We've made contact, what should we do when we arrive?"

After listening to Shi Nai's words, Jia's mother thought it was from his heart.In fact, Mother Jia was also a little worried.Among the four major families, the Jia and Wang families are currently developing the most smoothly.

Moreover, the relationship between these two families is the closest. Although Xue's family is not well developed, they are shameless enough to rely on the big tree of Jia's family, which can be regarded as a settlement.

Only the two nephews of my natal family were born as marquises, and they still need some shame, so they didn't come to Jia Ke for any request during this period of time.

It's okay to have me for a day, but after a while, if I'm gone one day, the historians will probably be excluded from the four major families.Then it will be the time when they are at the end, how can this make Mother Jia not worry?

Now that Mother Jia heard Shi Nai's words, she felt that he was a little enlightened now.So he said to Jia Zheng next to him, "Did the elder brother go to the military aircraft department today? If he is at home, you can call him here. My relatives are here, so I naturally want to see them."

Jia Zheng nodded, then bowed his hands to Shi Nai, and exited Jiamu's room.

Jia Zheng left Jiamu's room, returned to his outer study, called a servant and said, "Go to the Wuyanghou's mansion nearby and see if your uncle is in the mansion now. If he is in the mansion, ask him to come right away." see me."

The young man took Jia Zheng's order and trotted all the way across the Moon Gate to Wuyanghou's mansion.In the front yard of Wuyanghou Mansion, he ran into Qian Mao.

The young man immediately went forward to give Qian Mao a thousand salutes, "Young one, please greet Steward Qian."

Qian Mao looked at the young man and found that it was Jia Zheng's personal entourage, so he didn't dare to put on airs, so he immediately replied, "This young man is not in the mansion to serve the master, what's the matter with us?"

"The master told me to come over to the mansion and ask if the uncle is in the mansion. If he is, the master told him to meet him in the outer study as soon as possible."

Qian Mao smiled and said to him: "It's a coincidence that the uncle didn't go to the military aircraft office today, but was meeting guests in the study outside. I'll let you know."

After Qian Mao finished speaking, he led the young man to Jia Ke's outer study.

Outside the study, Liu Yu and a dozen soldiers guarded the door.

Seeing Qian Mao bringing people over, Liu Yu hurried forward and asked, "Could it be that Steward Qian is here for something?"
