The eunuch who came over was named Feng Hai, the number one person next to the emperor next to Dai Quan. Although the masters of the Jia family were a little less well-informed, they had heard of this name, but had never seen it.
However, when the inner eunuch came out to do business, of course he was wearing high-grade clothes, so when they greeted him outside, the masters of Jia's mansion were surprised, from first-grade?
Not to mention that Jia Zheng almost fainted, even Jia Amnesty turned pale, even though he was of the first rank, a level higher than this person.
But this is completely incomparable. He is accompanied by Shengjia every day. He is a first-rank general, but he was only kowtowed at the gate of the palace when he was appointed. He has never seen Shengyan from the beginning to the end!
If Jia Amnesty was surprised and awed, Jia Zheng really didn't want to welcome this person in. It happened so suddenly, and the books, calligraphy and paintings he had put away hadn't been put back yet. If it was found out What face does he have?
But all the people came, they were serving the saints, no one had the guts to drive them out, so they could only follow Jia Amnesty tremblingly and welcome them in.
Feng Hai knew that the Jia family had no skills, and he didn't bother to play tricks on them. He didn't drink the tea when he entered the house, so he said directly, "General Jia, Long Live Lord is still waiting for the miscellaneous family to answer. Do you think you will personally discuss the matter?" Talk to the miscellaneous?"
"What Mr. Feng said is that the errands of the Long Live Lord are more important!" After finishing speaking, he nodded to Jia Lian who was behind him, and Jia Lian stepped forward to file the dowry list after the death of his biological mother Zhang and the list of items returned to him by Mrs. Wang. Handed over.
Then Feng Hai read the two lists carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Jia She family is really unlucky, to have such a greedy relative, not only greedy but also ignorant, forget about other things, this The dowry gifted by the Holy Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress above dared to give it to Tan Mo.
I really don't know if the ignorant are fearless or have no reverence for the royal family? ! !
He looked at the contents of the box again, his eyes were venomous, and he knew that there was nothing very good in them. With the status of Mrs. Zhang during his lifetime, I am afraid that the big girls around him used only these.
"Okay, I've completed the task. Has General Jia filed these two lists?"
These Jia Amnesty and Jia Cong had already prepared them when they designed them, just for fear of such an eventuality.
So now Jia Amnesty hastily took out the two backed-up lists from his sleeve, and an apology letter, and handed them to Feng Hai, "It really shames me that such a small matter at home should alarm Long Live Lord, To put it bluntly, I'm incompetent, and I can't manage such a small matter well, and it's a waste of the state's salary.
I also ask my lord to take back the foreign minister's apology book when he handed these two things to the Lord Long Live. "
That Feng Hai nodded, and took all the things over, but it was just a matter of little effort, he can still help with such a small matter.
Ignore Jia Zheng who was sweating profusely, mouth opening and closing, not knowing what to say.
Jia Lian, who was standing behind Jia She, looked at Jia She carefully, and asked Jia She, "This is the great-grandson of Mrs. Zhang, right? Zajia was lucky enough to see the portrait of Mrs. Zhang in the Pavilion of Meritorious Ministers. This appearance is quite similar to Mrs. Zhang's." There are so many similarities.”
Jia Cong, who has been hanging at the end, was almost amused. This Feng Hai is really talking nonsense. Brother Lian and his eyes are very similar to his father. Besides, an old man (or an ancient portrait) !), I really don’t know how to look like a young man in his twenties!
But Jia She also opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Elder-in-law has good eyesight, Lian'er and his elder brother are both more like his mother, isn't it just the appearance of the Zhang family!" How proud he is, how much love and joy he has for this son.
Jia Cong found that his father is really a weirdo, sometimes he is so stupid that he can lie to anyone and can't do anything, but sometimes he is so shrewd that anyone can handle it!
But I don't know, Jia She is born with some talent for dealing with people, and naturally knows the truth of talking about people, but he has been suppressed for so many years, and he is really lazy. If you don't move once, some things will naturally turn slowly.
But if you really talk to someone, you won't lose to anyone if you change on the spot.
Hearing Feng Hai's reward, the emperor just sighed, thinking that Jia Daishan was also loyal back then, and even saved Jia, but he didn't expect that the two sons left behind were even worse than the other.
Thinking about my own outstanding sons, I was really entangled and proud. After thinking for a while, I said, "I remember that Jia Zheng's official position was given to him because his father was dying. After so many years He didn’t move at all, which shows how incompetent he is! Tell Chen Yan from the Ministry of Industry to let Jia Zheng go home and sort out his family affairs first, and when he will come back to be his official. "As for what Jia She said in the letter of apology, because of incompetence, he wanted to pass the title directly to his son, but he didn't say anything. He still has to think about this matter again!
The eunuchs who heard the words of the Holy Majesty were all stunned. This Jia Zheng was really lucky. He was sued before the imperial court, but he didn't even lose his official position, but just asked him to go home to rectify the housework?The emperor has treated those old officials more and more preferentially in the past few years, and now he even favors these old officials later, which shows his benevolence.
Chen Yan, the head of the Ministry of Industry, was in a dilemma after receiving this decree. There are a lot of braids in the Jia family, especially Jia Zheng has a lot of things. What does the emperor mean? To what extent is the household chores in order?
Worrying in his heart, but not showing it on his face, he sent away the inner eunuch who came to pass on the word of mouth. After pondering over it for a while, he came up with an idea. Consciously, I feel a little embarrassed about my face, so I have been hiding my shame at home.
Chen Yan could only have someone call him from home.
When Jia Zheng was brought into the chief official's office, Chen Yan was chatting with a group of subordinates about official business, and left him there for a long time, ignoring him.
Although Jia Zheng is a lowly official, he considers himself to be from the Rongguo Mansion, so he has always been very arrogant. In the past, even Shangfeng who was higher than him was not taken seriously, let alone those at the same level. But now he is sitting there drinking tea and discussing matters with Master Shang Shu, but he can only stand at the door and wait.
How could he bear it in his heart, his face was already red standing there, and he wished that there would be another hole under his body so that he could drill in.
Chen Yan had already noticed the change in his expression, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart. What he wanted was this effect. Since this person lost face in front of so many people, he must have no face to return to his Ministry of Industry. coming.
Then as long as he didn't get on the pole and wanted to drill back, he just pretended that he didn't know there was such a person and let him stay at home all the time, so that even if someone asked again, he would have something to say.
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, he pretended to see Jia Zheng who had been standing there for a long time, called him over in a friendly manner, and said, "Your Majesty Jia is so lucky, my lord sympathizes with you that you are so busy with work that you can't even take care of family affairs. It turns out that Yukou personally granted your lord a period of vacation, so that you can take care of your family affairs before you come back, so Master Jia pack up your things and go back first!"
The people around didn't expect that Master Shangshu called Jia Zheng for this matter. Hearing this, some of them who had enmity with him couldn't help but say:
"Master Jia is able to receive such favor from the Holy Majesty, I really can't wait for it!"
"One day I will be like Mr. Jia, I will die with peace in my eyes!"
"Master Jia is going to clean up the housework and worry about the future. When he comes back, he will be soaring into the sky, and he will not hesitate to promote me when the time comes!!"
……
Jia Zheng could only feel his ears buzzing and thinking, his eyes were black, but he couldn't pass out here, but deep in his heart he wished he could die just like that. He had the best face in his life, but now he is being torn apart like this. It made him unbearable, but this person is the No.1 of the Ministry of Industry, the confidant of the Holy One, and the others are his colleagues. He is crazy and dare not offend so many people at once.
In the end, he had no choice but to swell his face purple, Nuonuo didn't know what to say, turned around in embarrassment and walked out quickly, so he didn't have the face to pack something.
As soon as he left, someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, now that Jia Zheng is a joke in the capital, if he is really talented, it's fine, there will always be people who cherish talent and sympathize.
However, he is a pussy. After working in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, he still can't do anything well. Shangfeng has already changed a few. It's not like no one wants to curry favor with the Rongning and Ningfu and give him a promotion. But none of the things that were handed over to him were flawless, and they couldn't find a reason to promote them.
Just like this, they usually look down on this and that, how can they be convinced by their colleagues, they have to bear with it in normal times, and now they are naturally happy to see him in such a mess.
But there are also those who have a stable temperament. Just thinking about the family style of Jia's family really makes people talk about it, saying that the family's ugliness should not be publicized, and can make troubles in the brothers' inner house. It can be seen that Jia Amnesty is not a good person.
More people have nothing to do with themselves, they are just watching jokes!
Following Jia Zheng's return home, after Jia's house closed for a few days, the wind outside has really changed. People's psychology is very strange. When they first heard that Jia Zheng's family had embezzled the dowry of his dead sister-in-law, They all have an indignant look that this man is really a beast in clothes.
But with the passage of time, Jia Zheng's loss of office, and the help of people with good intentions, the conversation gradually shifted to Jia She, and they all accused him of disregarding family affection for the sake of money. brother.
If it wasn't for some people who still remembered the cause of the incident, and remembered that Jia Amnesty had accidentally told the incident after he was drunk, then Jia Amnesty would almost have a bad reputation on the street, even worse than Jia Zheng's reputation.
This man's heart is really fickle, and he can only see what is in front of him!
Jia She has been staying at home, and at most he only goes to a few friends. Naturally, these rumors and rumors do not reach his ears. In fact, even if he hears them, he doesn't care at all. For so many years, he has done nothing, isn't it? His bad reputation was still flying all over the sky, but now he just added one more thing, and because this matter has reached the heavens, in the eyes of the superiors, especially the emperor, his reputation is shattered.
In the past, apart from those who had direct contact with their brothers, those in positions of authority only knew that although the eldest master of the Jia family had never done anything bad, he was not a good person. The style of the ancient gentleman.
But once this incident happened, the one who was able to climb to the high position was not clever, and after thinking about it, he realized that he had been deceived in the past, let alone the first master of the Jia family, but the second master turned out to be a hypocrite.
I'd rather offend a real villain than get close to a hypocrite, and I'd better be careful in the future, or I won't know when I'll be sold!
Thinking about it this way, I felt some sympathy for Jia Amnesty, no wonder I didn't do anything bad, but I got such a reputation, it turned out that it was all because of having such a hypocrite brother!
Thinking about the unfavorable rumors outside in the past few days, they were also manipulated by people with ulterior motives. This Jia Amnesty is really pitiful, hey, life is bad!
Jia She didn't expect that something he didn't care about at all, would welcome the sympathy of most of the courtiers for him. This was a surprise, but that's for another story.
Now, it was still the day when Jia Zheng came back from the Ministry of Industry.
After Jia Zheng came back that day, he was so angry that he beat Mrs. Wang cruelly. If the old lady hadn't arrived in time, Mrs. Wang would have died most of the time.
Even so, she has been raised in the house since that day, even when Baoyu came, she didn't see her. The waiter said that her face was hurt, and her leg was beaten to the bone. These days, the room smells like medicine. It never broke.
Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were called over by Jia Mu, beat and scolded them all, but the four of them were like a gourd with their mouths sawn, no matter how hard they forced them, they didn't utter a word. When they were in a hurry or saw that the old lady was about to pretend to be sick, they knelt on the ground together to plead guilty.
However, he interceded with the Holy Majesty on behalf of Jia Zheng, and announced that Zhang's dowry had been returned to the outside world without receiving anything, but he didn't say a word.
Mother Jia had no choice but to call Jia Zheng, and the two went to the place where Mrs. Wang was convalescing, and put pressure on Mrs. Wang to take out all the things.
How can Mrs. Wang be so easy to deal with? Regardless of 21, she began to cry, "The old lady and the master said it nicely, just let the daughter-in-law take it out with such empty words, and the daughter-in-law is not a fairy, where can I find so many?" Something to fill in?
Among other things, wasn't the bottle of top-quality suet white jade Jade Guanyin taken away by the old lady long ago?
Later, it seemed that Concubine Nan'an celebrated her birthday and made a birthday gift, so you always ask your daughter-in-law to find another bottle..."
Pili clattered a few things in succession, all of them were authentic, some were still in the old lady's private treasury, and some had already been given out as gifts.
Even the Lin family in Yangzhou has a few of them now, and that's because Jia Min gave the old lady a very expensive gift when she celebrated her birthday, and the old lady Jia specially gave her daughter a return gift to make her look good!
After Madam Wang finished talking about Jia Mu, she turned her head and pointed at Jia Zheng, "Those boxes of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings are kept by the master. I don't know where they are still!"
Both Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were embarrassed for a while, their faces flushed, not only hated Dafang for persecuting them for something, but even Mrs. Wang, who had never seen such a daughter-in-law before. Even the face of the mother-in-law and husband is not willing to save at all.
Mrs. Wang didn't care, she was already like this now, even in the face of Baoyu Yuanchun and her elder brother Wang Ziteng, the Jia family didn't dare to treat her worse, so what was she afraid of? ?
Jia Mu and Jia Zheng couldn't push Mrs. Wang, so they could only discuss how to make up for these things. The three of them simply had a lot of money, so they took out the rest of the dowry, and then put it on the table. What is missing is filled with something similar.
Although heartache, but actually did not hurt the muscles and bones.
But it was too trivial. It took a few days to tidy up all Zhang's dowry, but the income from those shops and land over the years was still gone. Not only that, Wang was determined to get all those good things. Holding it in his hand, insisting that it has been sold and not in his hand, he just compensated Jia Lian for some second-class farm shops. It seems that there are too many things, but in fact the value is more than a little worse.
But it has come to this point, and I can take back so many things, I can only comfort myself in my heart. Fortunately, the old lady and the others are not confused, those imperial gift items are still there, otherwise it would be really unlucky for the whole family to lose the imperial gift items But for a felony, even if you give it away, the person who accepts it depends on whether or not he has the qualifications!
With these things, poor Jia Lian is already satisfied, relying on these, he must have enough fun for a lifetime.
So I didn't bother to entangle him any more, and if he continued to entangle like this, his reputation would be ruined, so the gain would not be worth the loss!
Didn't you see that his father's words are getting worse and worse?
With the mentality of compensation, he carefully counted the things in his hand again, packed a whole big box with the things that Jia She might like, and picked out a shop specializing in the sale of study rooms and a small shop in the suburbs. The title deed of the not-so-small manor was delivered to Grand Master Xi in person.
Seeing him busy there, Wang Xifeng didn't say much. After this series of events happened, she obviously matured a lot, especially the abandonment of her natal family, which made this woman who was always proud of her natal family very sad for a while. After a serious illness, he abandoned his original three points of arrogance and became two points more stable.
This time, he stood by Jia Lian's side wholeheartedly to help him plan, and stopped thinking about the aunt, which made Jia Lian love her even more. In private, the two even returned to the sweetness they had when they were newly married. The thought of her daughter was completely thrown away, and she and her daughter were all focused on.
This warmth and sweetness made Wang Xifeng know what he had lost in such a long time, so he became more and more gentle and considerate to Jia Lian. She missed it even more, both of them took it as a joke.
Jia Lian explained to her, and took the boy to carry the box to Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty saw that there were a few good fans in the box, and they were not from the deceased wife's dowry, so they should be the private house of the old lady and the second child, so he was not polite and happily accepted it.
When he saw the land deed, he didn't lack these things. He wanted to push it away, but then he thought of his youngest son and said, "This time it was your brother's idea. You can give these two land deeds directly." He is."
"These things are for the son to honor the master, Brother Cong will pick out the ones from the son and send them to him."
"Don't be so troublesome, just give him these two land deeds. Your master, me, and your brother don't lack that kind of thing, and you don't want to spend a lot of money just after you get it. You need to know that the wealth is not in vain. Everyone knows it, but how many people are thinking about it, it's better to keep a low profile."
"Son, I know, thank you for your teaching!" Jia Lian finally understood the benefits of his biological father. This uncle is really incomparable, and he thinks of himself in everything.
Jia Sheping got a box of good things for nothing, and after a few words, his son agreed with him and became happy, but impatient to see his bearish appearance, he said a few more words and then kicked him out, only hugging the Take a closer look at the contents of the box.
After Jia Lian came out of the master's study, after thinking about it, he went directly to the place where Jia Cong was studying. He looked outside and saw that Mr. Qiao was giving a lecture, so he didn't bother him, and gave the small box with the title deed in his hand to a person standing outside. Boy, let him hand over the box to the third master when he leaves school.
When Mr. Qiao took a break in the middle of the lecture, the servant brought in the box, saying that it was delivered by Lian Erye himself. When he opened it, he saw that there were two land deeds. Jia Cong didn't pay much attention and put it away.
He actually regrets his impulsiveness at that time now. He has always known that people in ancient times had a strong sense of clan, and that family ugliness should not be publicized is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, they still underestimated these invisible forces. This time, they clearly had the upper hand. Jia Amnesty also made various arrangements when acting, but as soon as the results came out, it was only because Jia Zheng looked a little embarrassed that he even attracted attention. So many people sympathized, and then condemned their father.
Although I know that this is the result of someone pushing the flames, I am still a little shocked. Fortunately, I didn't force my father to separate the family at the beginning. Otherwise, I really used some means to separate their family. Wouldn't it be better for my father? To be ridiculed for having a relationship with a promising younger brother?
If the life is not good, it is even more frightening, that is, the father does not care about the brothers, and the mother is in the hall, and even the brothers are ignored, how cold-hearted is this?Even as long as Jia Zheng acts a little outside, the old man can be drowned by the spittle.
It's scary to say that in this era, it's really hard to do something because of the constraints of these borders.
Fortunately, this time my father and son stood up for the absolute truth. Even if those people wanted to clean up their crimes and disapproved of the Jia family's ugliness in their hearts, they would not be able to say that what Jia Zheng's family did was right!
And now those people are just spreading rumors in private, and no one dares to speak directly in front of Jia Amnesty. As long as you keep a low profile for a while and nothing happens, rumors will naturally come and go quickly.
So for the next period of time, Jia's mansion was surprisingly quiet, and the eldest and second roomers all restrained themselves. Except for Wang Xifeng, who was busy with government affairs, several elders in the mansion, including the old lady, complained of illness and hid one by one. Get up and see no one.
Even if some people wanted to come to wait for illness, they were directly pushed away, saying that they were afraid of getting sick.
A few girls were worried for a while without knowing it, but Jia Baoyu was like a wild horse that had been let loose, completely liberated, enjoying flowers and having fun every day, and fighting with sisters, I only hope that I can live like this every day. good.
Daiyu is now surrounded by people from the Lin family, and the nanny who came with her is very strict, so she will not allow Baoyu to make trouble with their girls, but because of her status, she can't brazenly be the housekeeper and relatives, so she can only come here in Baoyu Always be on guard, not letting him get too close to his girl.
How could Baoyu bear these restraints, and secretly complained to Daiyu several times, but Daiyu only reasoned that these people were all directly under her father's orders, and that as a daughter, she could only respect them, and she had no reason to offend them.
Baoyu couldn't help it, and gradually fewer came. The happy Daiyu's maids kept chanting Amitabha!
Yingchun went back to the big room, she had to learn too much from Mrs. Xing every day, and it was not too late, Xichun often went to stay with Daiyu, and only Tanchun and Baochai were left.
Therefore, Baoyu went to visit Baochai alone or with Tanchun every day.
Baochai also came here to play with them from time to time. Over time, although Baoyu still didn't like Baochai's exhortation to study, there were still some different feelings between the two of them.
In particular, Baochai has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, plump skin, and a faint fragrance from her body, which always fascinates Baoyu and wants to get closer.
Baochai was very proud of this. When she came from Jinling, although she said she was going to participate in the palace election, but her family knew about her family affairs, it was just an excuse. Given their family status, it was so difficult to be selected.
Not to mention that before my brother came, there was a life lawsuit, but now no one asks about it, and my mother doesn't care, but she knows that it will be found out one day, and she doesn't know what will happen!
But her elder brother is her mother's best friend, so she dare not say it, or her mother will think that she is cursing her elder brother.
Although this cousin is only the second resident of the Rongguo Mansion, and will be separated in the future, but fortunately, he has the auspicious sign of being born with jade, and he is also smart. As long as he is willing to work hard, he may not have a high school life.
Although my uncle returned home for some reason this time, it was only temporary after all, and his position was not lost. Even his uncle's family still lived in Rongxi Hall. It can be seen that it was only a temporary failure. It doesn't really seem like a big deal.
Take a step back and talk, even if you really lose your job, so what?The foundation of the Jia family is still there, and the money in their hands is not much less. After all, it is said that it is a family of officials, and the descendants of the Duke's mansion are better than those merchants or small officials who have no money and no background.
Not to mention that Mrs. Wang was her own aunt, and since she valued her highly, there must be harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, so Aunt Xue and Baochai secretly wanted to win Baoyu over, and for this reason they made great efforts.
At first I thought that Daiyu would be a strong enemy, but I didn't expect that people didn't know whether they didn't like Baoyu, or they were too noble in their actions, and they pushed such a young man who was only thinking about her like Ruyu. come out!
Aunt Xue and Baochai talked about Daiyu's wisdom, but secretly they were half disdainful and half sad. Although they lost their mother, they still had a father who was a high-ranking official. Based on this, will you be afraid of losing your future in the future?
Daiyu was in Jia's mansion, and there were people around, and because Lin Ruhai entrusted her, Jia pardoned Jia Cong in order to let her see the dangers of people's hearts, so these things did not hide much from her.
Speaking of which, she and Mrs. Zhang's backgrounds are really similar, both of them are weak, and they have no other close relatives except for one close relative. Now hearing these bad things, on the one hand, it is a pity for Jia who has always loved her. His mother was disappointed, and on the one hand, he felt sorry for himself and sighed sadly, but he got a minor illness because of it.
When writing letters to Lin Ruhai during the period, ghosts and gods also wrote all these things, which made Lin Ruhai sigh. It seems that it is absolutely impossible to entrust her daughter to her, but uncle and aunt are poor after all. layer.
Now it seems that although Jia Amnesty acted recklessly, he can be regarded as a man of temperament, but who knows what will happen in the future?Moreover, the daughter relied on female elders in her boudoir, Mrs. Xing sounded fine, but now he didn't dare to believe it, fearing that a wrong belief would harm his daughter again.
After thinking about it, he was deeply worried about his daughter's future, and now he has become more and more careful in his actions, always worried that if he is unlucky, his daughter may not live long, but unexpectedly, he has avoided several murderous attempts because of this.
This is something Daiyu didn't expect, but it can be considered that God has blessed their father and daughter!
Jia Mu stayed here for a long time, and felt that this matter should be over, so she announced that she was cured, and everyone in the house naturally came to pay her respects.
When she saw Daiyu and Xichun coming together, she didn't think much about it. Since the two of them went south together, their friendship has become very good, and they have to stay together for everything. If Yingchun hadn't moved back to the big house, Tanchun would be alone Living is not good, Xichun even wants to move there to live with Daiyu.
It can be seen that Baoyu came here with Baochai, and the expressions of the two were quite intimate, she felt bad, and looked at Baochai with gloomy eyes!
But how could Baochai care about her?She doesn't point to Jia's mother to live. Marriage has always been the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. If Baoyu's heart is not on her, she will naturally have to coax the old lady, but now?This is just an old lady from a relative's family!
However, can Baochai really get her wish?Baoyu's heart...
However, when the inner eunuch came out to do business, of course he was wearing high-grade clothes, so when they greeted him outside, the masters of Jia's mansion were surprised, from first-grade?
Not to mention that Jia Zheng almost fainted, even Jia Amnesty turned pale, even though he was of the first rank, a level higher than this person.
But this is completely incomparable. He is accompanied by Shengjia every day. He is a first-rank general, but he was only kowtowed at the gate of the palace when he was appointed. He has never seen Shengyan from the beginning to the end!
If Jia Amnesty was surprised and awed, Jia Zheng really didn't want to welcome this person in. It happened so suddenly, and the books, calligraphy and paintings he had put away hadn't been put back yet. If it was found out What face does he have?
But all the people came, they were serving the saints, no one had the guts to drive them out, so they could only follow Jia Amnesty tremblingly and welcome them in.
Feng Hai knew that the Jia family had no skills, and he didn't bother to play tricks on them. He didn't drink the tea when he entered the house, so he said directly, "General Jia, Long Live Lord is still waiting for the miscellaneous family to answer. Do you think you will personally discuss the matter?" Talk to the miscellaneous?"
"What Mr. Feng said is that the errands of the Long Live Lord are more important!" After finishing speaking, he nodded to Jia Lian who was behind him, and Jia Lian stepped forward to file the dowry list after the death of his biological mother Zhang and the list of items returned to him by Mrs. Wang. Handed over.
Then Feng Hai read the two lists carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Jia She family is really unlucky, to have such a greedy relative, not only greedy but also ignorant, forget about other things, this The dowry gifted by the Holy Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress above dared to give it to Tan Mo.
I really don't know if the ignorant are fearless or have no reverence for the royal family? ! !
He looked at the contents of the box again, his eyes were venomous, and he knew that there was nothing very good in them. With the status of Mrs. Zhang during his lifetime, I am afraid that the big girls around him used only these.
"Okay, I've completed the task. Has General Jia filed these two lists?"
These Jia Amnesty and Jia Cong had already prepared them when they designed them, just for fear of such an eventuality.
So now Jia Amnesty hastily took out the two backed-up lists from his sleeve, and an apology letter, and handed them to Feng Hai, "It really shames me that such a small matter at home should alarm Long Live Lord, To put it bluntly, I'm incompetent, and I can't manage such a small matter well, and it's a waste of the state's salary.
I also ask my lord to take back the foreign minister's apology book when he handed these two things to the Lord Long Live. "
That Feng Hai nodded, and took all the things over, but it was just a matter of little effort, he can still help with such a small matter.
Ignore Jia Zheng who was sweating profusely, mouth opening and closing, not knowing what to say.
Jia Lian, who was standing behind Jia She, looked at Jia She carefully, and asked Jia She, "This is the great-grandson of Mrs. Zhang, right? Zajia was lucky enough to see the portrait of Mrs. Zhang in the Pavilion of Meritorious Ministers. This appearance is quite similar to Mrs. Zhang's." There are so many similarities.”
Jia Cong, who has been hanging at the end, was almost amused. This Feng Hai is really talking nonsense. Brother Lian and his eyes are very similar to his father. Besides, an old man (or an ancient portrait) !), I really don’t know how to look like a young man in his twenties!
But Jia She also opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Elder-in-law has good eyesight, Lian'er and his elder brother are both more like his mother, isn't it just the appearance of the Zhang family!" How proud he is, how much love and joy he has for this son.
Jia Cong found that his father is really a weirdo, sometimes he is so stupid that he can lie to anyone and can't do anything, but sometimes he is so shrewd that anyone can handle it!
But I don't know, Jia She is born with some talent for dealing with people, and naturally knows the truth of talking about people, but he has been suppressed for so many years, and he is really lazy. If you don't move once, some things will naturally turn slowly.
But if you really talk to someone, you won't lose to anyone if you change on the spot.
Hearing Feng Hai's reward, the emperor just sighed, thinking that Jia Daishan was also loyal back then, and even saved Jia, but he didn't expect that the two sons left behind were even worse than the other.
Thinking about my own outstanding sons, I was really entangled and proud. After thinking for a while, I said, "I remember that Jia Zheng's official position was given to him because his father was dying. After so many years He didn’t move at all, which shows how incompetent he is! Tell Chen Yan from the Ministry of Industry to let Jia Zheng go home and sort out his family affairs first, and when he will come back to be his official. "As for what Jia She said in the letter of apology, because of incompetence, he wanted to pass the title directly to his son, but he didn't say anything. He still has to think about this matter again!
The eunuchs who heard the words of the Holy Majesty were all stunned. This Jia Zheng was really lucky. He was sued before the imperial court, but he didn't even lose his official position, but just asked him to go home to rectify the housework?The emperor has treated those old officials more and more preferentially in the past few years, and now he even favors these old officials later, which shows his benevolence.
Chen Yan, the head of the Ministry of Industry, was in a dilemma after receiving this decree. There are a lot of braids in the Jia family, especially Jia Zheng has a lot of things. What does the emperor mean? To what extent is the household chores in order?
Worrying in his heart, but not showing it on his face, he sent away the inner eunuch who came to pass on the word of mouth. After pondering over it for a while, he came up with an idea. Consciously, I feel a little embarrassed about my face, so I have been hiding my shame at home.
Chen Yan could only have someone call him from home.
When Jia Zheng was brought into the chief official's office, Chen Yan was chatting with a group of subordinates about official business, and left him there for a long time, ignoring him.
Although Jia Zheng is a lowly official, he considers himself to be from the Rongguo Mansion, so he has always been very arrogant. In the past, even Shangfeng who was higher than him was not taken seriously, let alone those at the same level. But now he is sitting there drinking tea and discussing matters with Master Shang Shu, but he can only stand at the door and wait.
How could he bear it in his heart, his face was already red standing there, and he wished that there would be another hole under his body so that he could drill in.
Chen Yan had already noticed the change in his expression, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart. What he wanted was this effect. Since this person lost face in front of so many people, he must have no face to return to his Ministry of Industry. coming.
Then as long as he didn't get on the pole and wanted to drill back, he just pretended that he didn't know there was such a person and let him stay at home all the time, so that even if someone asked again, he would have something to say.
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, he pretended to see Jia Zheng who had been standing there for a long time, called him over in a friendly manner, and said, "Your Majesty Jia is so lucky, my lord sympathizes with you that you are so busy with work that you can't even take care of family affairs. It turns out that Yukou personally granted your lord a period of vacation, so that you can take care of your family affairs before you come back, so Master Jia pack up your things and go back first!"
The people around didn't expect that Master Shangshu called Jia Zheng for this matter. Hearing this, some of them who had enmity with him couldn't help but say:
"Master Jia is able to receive such favor from the Holy Majesty, I really can't wait for it!"
"One day I will be like Mr. Jia, I will die with peace in my eyes!"
"Master Jia is going to clean up the housework and worry about the future. When he comes back, he will be soaring into the sky, and he will not hesitate to promote me when the time comes!!"
……
Jia Zheng could only feel his ears buzzing and thinking, his eyes were black, but he couldn't pass out here, but deep in his heart he wished he could die just like that. He had the best face in his life, but now he is being torn apart like this. It made him unbearable, but this person is the No.1 of the Ministry of Industry, the confidant of the Holy One, and the others are his colleagues. He is crazy and dare not offend so many people at once.
In the end, he had no choice but to swell his face purple, Nuonuo didn't know what to say, turned around in embarrassment and walked out quickly, so he didn't have the face to pack something.
As soon as he left, someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, now that Jia Zheng is a joke in the capital, if he is really talented, it's fine, there will always be people who cherish talent and sympathize.
However, he is a pussy. After working in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, he still can't do anything well. Shangfeng has already changed a few. It's not like no one wants to curry favor with the Rongning and Ningfu and give him a promotion. But none of the things that were handed over to him were flawless, and they couldn't find a reason to promote them.
Just like this, they usually look down on this and that, how can they be convinced by their colleagues, they have to bear with it in normal times, and now they are naturally happy to see him in such a mess.
But there are also those who have a stable temperament. Just thinking about the family style of Jia's family really makes people talk about it, saying that the family's ugliness should not be publicized, and can make troubles in the brothers' inner house. It can be seen that Jia Amnesty is not a good person.
More people have nothing to do with themselves, they are just watching jokes!
Following Jia Zheng's return home, after Jia's house closed for a few days, the wind outside has really changed. People's psychology is very strange. When they first heard that Jia Zheng's family had embezzled the dowry of his dead sister-in-law, They all have an indignant look that this man is really a beast in clothes.
But with the passage of time, Jia Zheng's loss of office, and the help of people with good intentions, the conversation gradually shifted to Jia She, and they all accused him of disregarding family affection for the sake of money. brother.
If it wasn't for some people who still remembered the cause of the incident, and remembered that Jia Amnesty had accidentally told the incident after he was drunk, then Jia Amnesty would almost have a bad reputation on the street, even worse than Jia Zheng's reputation.
This man's heart is really fickle, and he can only see what is in front of him!
Jia She has been staying at home, and at most he only goes to a few friends. Naturally, these rumors and rumors do not reach his ears. In fact, even if he hears them, he doesn't care at all. For so many years, he has done nothing, isn't it? His bad reputation was still flying all over the sky, but now he just added one more thing, and because this matter has reached the heavens, in the eyes of the superiors, especially the emperor, his reputation is shattered.
In the past, apart from those who had direct contact with their brothers, those in positions of authority only knew that although the eldest master of the Jia family had never done anything bad, he was not a good person. The style of the ancient gentleman.
But once this incident happened, the one who was able to climb to the high position was not clever, and after thinking about it, he realized that he had been deceived in the past, let alone the first master of the Jia family, but the second master turned out to be a hypocrite.
I'd rather offend a real villain than get close to a hypocrite, and I'd better be careful in the future, or I won't know when I'll be sold!
Thinking about it this way, I felt some sympathy for Jia Amnesty, no wonder I didn't do anything bad, but I got such a reputation, it turned out that it was all because of having such a hypocrite brother!
Thinking about the unfavorable rumors outside in the past few days, they were also manipulated by people with ulterior motives. This Jia Amnesty is really pitiful, hey, life is bad!
Jia She didn't expect that something he didn't care about at all, would welcome the sympathy of most of the courtiers for him. This was a surprise, but that's for another story.
Now, it was still the day when Jia Zheng came back from the Ministry of Industry.
After Jia Zheng came back that day, he was so angry that he beat Mrs. Wang cruelly. If the old lady hadn't arrived in time, Mrs. Wang would have died most of the time.
Even so, she has been raised in the house since that day, even when Baoyu came, she didn't see her. The waiter said that her face was hurt, and her leg was beaten to the bone. These days, the room smells like medicine. It never broke.
Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were called over by Jia Mu, beat and scolded them all, but the four of them were like a gourd with their mouths sawn, no matter how hard they forced them, they didn't utter a word. When they were in a hurry or saw that the old lady was about to pretend to be sick, they knelt on the ground together to plead guilty.
However, he interceded with the Holy Majesty on behalf of Jia Zheng, and announced that Zhang's dowry had been returned to the outside world without receiving anything, but he didn't say a word.
Mother Jia had no choice but to call Jia Zheng, and the two went to the place where Mrs. Wang was convalescing, and put pressure on Mrs. Wang to take out all the things.
How can Mrs. Wang be so easy to deal with? Regardless of 21, she began to cry, "The old lady and the master said it nicely, just let the daughter-in-law take it out with such empty words, and the daughter-in-law is not a fairy, where can I find so many?" Something to fill in?
Among other things, wasn't the bottle of top-quality suet white jade Jade Guanyin taken away by the old lady long ago?
Later, it seemed that Concubine Nan'an celebrated her birthday and made a birthday gift, so you always ask your daughter-in-law to find another bottle..."
Pili clattered a few things in succession, all of them were authentic, some were still in the old lady's private treasury, and some had already been given out as gifts.
Even the Lin family in Yangzhou has a few of them now, and that's because Jia Min gave the old lady a very expensive gift when she celebrated her birthday, and the old lady Jia specially gave her daughter a return gift to make her look good!
After Madam Wang finished talking about Jia Mu, she turned her head and pointed at Jia Zheng, "Those boxes of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings are kept by the master. I don't know where they are still!"
Both Jia Mu and Jia Zheng were embarrassed for a while, their faces flushed, not only hated Dafang for persecuting them for something, but even Mrs. Wang, who had never seen such a daughter-in-law before. Even the face of the mother-in-law and husband is not willing to save at all.
Mrs. Wang didn't care, she was already like this now, even in the face of Baoyu Yuanchun and her elder brother Wang Ziteng, the Jia family didn't dare to treat her worse, so what was she afraid of? ?
Jia Mu and Jia Zheng couldn't push Mrs. Wang, so they could only discuss how to make up for these things. The three of them simply had a lot of money, so they took out the rest of the dowry, and then put it on the table. What is missing is filled with something similar.
Although heartache, but actually did not hurt the muscles and bones.
But it was too trivial. It took a few days to tidy up all Zhang's dowry, but the income from those shops and land over the years was still gone. Not only that, Wang was determined to get all those good things. Holding it in his hand, insisting that it has been sold and not in his hand, he just compensated Jia Lian for some second-class farm shops. It seems that there are too many things, but in fact the value is more than a little worse.
But it has come to this point, and I can take back so many things, I can only comfort myself in my heart. Fortunately, the old lady and the others are not confused, those imperial gift items are still there, otherwise it would be really unlucky for the whole family to lose the imperial gift items But for a felony, even if you give it away, the person who accepts it depends on whether or not he has the qualifications!
With these things, poor Jia Lian is already satisfied, relying on these, he must have enough fun for a lifetime.
So I didn't bother to entangle him any more, and if he continued to entangle like this, his reputation would be ruined, so the gain would not be worth the loss!
Didn't you see that his father's words are getting worse and worse?
With the mentality of compensation, he carefully counted the things in his hand again, packed a whole big box with the things that Jia She might like, and picked out a shop specializing in the sale of study rooms and a small shop in the suburbs. The title deed of the not-so-small manor was delivered to Grand Master Xi in person.
Seeing him busy there, Wang Xifeng didn't say much. After this series of events happened, she obviously matured a lot, especially the abandonment of her natal family, which made this woman who was always proud of her natal family very sad for a while. After a serious illness, he abandoned his original three points of arrogance and became two points more stable.
This time, he stood by Jia Lian's side wholeheartedly to help him plan, and stopped thinking about the aunt, which made Jia Lian love her even more. In private, the two even returned to the sweetness they had when they were newly married. The thought of her daughter was completely thrown away, and she and her daughter were all focused on.
This warmth and sweetness made Wang Xifeng know what he had lost in such a long time, so he became more and more gentle and considerate to Jia Lian. She missed it even more, both of them took it as a joke.
Jia Lian explained to her, and took the boy to carry the box to Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty saw that there were a few good fans in the box, and they were not from the deceased wife's dowry, so they should be the private house of the old lady and the second child, so he was not polite and happily accepted it.
When he saw the land deed, he didn't lack these things. He wanted to push it away, but then he thought of his youngest son and said, "This time it was your brother's idea. You can give these two land deeds directly." He is."
"These things are for the son to honor the master, Brother Cong will pick out the ones from the son and send them to him."
"Don't be so troublesome, just give him these two land deeds. Your master, me, and your brother don't lack that kind of thing, and you don't want to spend a lot of money just after you get it. You need to know that the wealth is not in vain. Everyone knows it, but how many people are thinking about it, it's better to keep a low profile."
"Son, I know, thank you for your teaching!" Jia Lian finally understood the benefits of his biological father. This uncle is really incomparable, and he thinks of himself in everything.
Jia Sheping got a box of good things for nothing, and after a few words, his son agreed with him and became happy, but impatient to see his bearish appearance, he said a few more words and then kicked him out, only hugging the Take a closer look at the contents of the box.
After Jia Lian came out of the master's study, after thinking about it, he went directly to the place where Jia Cong was studying. He looked outside and saw that Mr. Qiao was giving a lecture, so he didn't bother him, and gave the small box with the title deed in his hand to a person standing outside. Boy, let him hand over the box to the third master when he leaves school.
When Mr. Qiao took a break in the middle of the lecture, the servant brought in the box, saying that it was delivered by Lian Erye himself. When he opened it, he saw that there were two land deeds. Jia Cong didn't pay much attention and put it away.
He actually regrets his impulsiveness at that time now. He has always known that people in ancient times had a strong sense of clan, and that family ugliness should not be publicized is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, they still underestimated these invisible forces. This time, they clearly had the upper hand. Jia Amnesty also made various arrangements when acting, but as soon as the results came out, it was only because Jia Zheng looked a little embarrassed that he even attracted attention. So many people sympathized, and then condemned their father.
Although I know that this is the result of someone pushing the flames, I am still a little shocked. Fortunately, I didn't force my father to separate the family at the beginning. Otherwise, I really used some means to separate their family. Wouldn't it be better for my father? To be ridiculed for having a relationship with a promising younger brother?
If the life is not good, it is even more frightening, that is, the father does not care about the brothers, and the mother is in the hall, and even the brothers are ignored, how cold-hearted is this?Even as long as Jia Zheng acts a little outside, the old man can be drowned by the spittle.
It's scary to say that in this era, it's really hard to do something because of the constraints of these borders.
Fortunately, this time my father and son stood up for the absolute truth. Even if those people wanted to clean up their crimes and disapproved of the Jia family's ugliness in their hearts, they would not be able to say that what Jia Zheng's family did was right!
And now those people are just spreading rumors in private, and no one dares to speak directly in front of Jia Amnesty. As long as you keep a low profile for a while and nothing happens, rumors will naturally come and go quickly.
So for the next period of time, Jia's mansion was surprisingly quiet, and the eldest and second roomers all restrained themselves. Except for Wang Xifeng, who was busy with government affairs, several elders in the mansion, including the old lady, complained of illness and hid one by one. Get up and see no one.
Even if some people wanted to come to wait for illness, they were directly pushed away, saying that they were afraid of getting sick.
A few girls were worried for a while without knowing it, but Jia Baoyu was like a wild horse that had been let loose, completely liberated, enjoying flowers and having fun every day, and fighting with sisters, I only hope that I can live like this every day. good.
Daiyu is now surrounded by people from the Lin family, and the nanny who came with her is very strict, so she will not allow Baoyu to make trouble with their girls, but because of her status, she can't brazenly be the housekeeper and relatives, so she can only come here in Baoyu Always be on guard, not letting him get too close to his girl.
How could Baoyu bear these restraints, and secretly complained to Daiyu several times, but Daiyu only reasoned that these people were all directly under her father's orders, and that as a daughter, she could only respect them, and she had no reason to offend them.
Baoyu couldn't help it, and gradually fewer came. The happy Daiyu's maids kept chanting Amitabha!
Yingchun went back to the big room, she had to learn too much from Mrs. Xing every day, and it was not too late, Xichun often went to stay with Daiyu, and only Tanchun and Baochai were left.
Therefore, Baoyu went to visit Baochai alone or with Tanchun every day.
Baochai also came here to play with them from time to time. Over time, although Baoyu still didn't like Baochai's exhortation to study, there were still some different feelings between the two of them.
In particular, Baochai has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, plump skin, and a faint fragrance from her body, which always fascinates Baoyu and wants to get closer.
Baochai was very proud of this. When she came from Jinling, although she said she was going to participate in the palace election, but her family knew about her family affairs, it was just an excuse. Given their family status, it was so difficult to be selected.
Not to mention that before my brother came, there was a life lawsuit, but now no one asks about it, and my mother doesn't care, but she knows that it will be found out one day, and she doesn't know what will happen!
But her elder brother is her mother's best friend, so she dare not say it, or her mother will think that she is cursing her elder brother.
Although this cousin is only the second resident of the Rongguo Mansion, and will be separated in the future, but fortunately, he has the auspicious sign of being born with jade, and he is also smart. As long as he is willing to work hard, he may not have a high school life.
Although my uncle returned home for some reason this time, it was only temporary after all, and his position was not lost. Even his uncle's family still lived in Rongxi Hall. It can be seen that it was only a temporary failure. It doesn't really seem like a big deal.
Take a step back and talk, even if you really lose your job, so what?The foundation of the Jia family is still there, and the money in their hands is not much less. After all, it is said that it is a family of officials, and the descendants of the Duke's mansion are better than those merchants or small officials who have no money and no background.
Not to mention that Mrs. Wang was her own aunt, and since she valued her highly, there must be harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, so Aunt Xue and Baochai secretly wanted to win Baoyu over, and for this reason they made great efforts.
At first I thought that Daiyu would be a strong enemy, but I didn't expect that people didn't know whether they didn't like Baoyu, or they were too noble in their actions, and they pushed such a young man who was only thinking about her like Ruyu. come out!
Aunt Xue and Baochai talked about Daiyu's wisdom, but secretly they were half disdainful and half sad. Although they lost their mother, they still had a father who was a high-ranking official. Based on this, will you be afraid of losing your future in the future?
Daiyu was in Jia's mansion, and there were people around, and because Lin Ruhai entrusted her, Jia pardoned Jia Cong in order to let her see the dangers of people's hearts, so these things did not hide much from her.
Speaking of which, she and Mrs. Zhang's backgrounds are really similar, both of them are weak, and they have no other close relatives except for one close relative. Now hearing these bad things, on the one hand, it is a pity for Jia who has always loved her. His mother was disappointed, and on the one hand, he felt sorry for himself and sighed sadly, but he got a minor illness because of it.
When writing letters to Lin Ruhai during the period, ghosts and gods also wrote all these things, which made Lin Ruhai sigh. It seems that it is absolutely impossible to entrust her daughter to her, but uncle and aunt are poor after all. layer.
Now it seems that although Jia Amnesty acted recklessly, he can be regarded as a man of temperament, but who knows what will happen in the future?Moreover, the daughter relied on female elders in her boudoir, Mrs. Xing sounded fine, but now he didn't dare to believe it, fearing that a wrong belief would harm his daughter again.
After thinking about it, he was deeply worried about his daughter's future, and now he has become more and more careful in his actions, always worried that if he is unlucky, his daughter may not live long, but unexpectedly, he has avoided several murderous attempts because of this.
This is something Daiyu didn't expect, but it can be considered that God has blessed their father and daughter!
Jia Mu stayed here for a long time, and felt that this matter should be over, so she announced that she was cured, and everyone in the house naturally came to pay her respects.
When she saw Daiyu and Xichun coming together, she didn't think much about it. Since the two of them went south together, their friendship has become very good, and they have to stay together for everything. If Yingchun hadn't moved back to the big house, Tanchun would be alone Living is not good, Xichun even wants to move there to live with Daiyu.
It can be seen that Baoyu came here with Baochai, and the expressions of the two were quite intimate, she felt bad, and looked at Baochai with gloomy eyes!
But how could Baochai care about her?She doesn't point to Jia's mother to live. Marriage has always been the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. If Baoyu's heart is not on her, she will naturally have to coax the old lady, but now?This is just an old lady from a relative's family!
However, can Baochai really get her wish?Baoyu's heart...
