The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Dou Cong was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, tilted his head to look at Jia Amnesty: "Is this going to break up with your old lady?"

"She sent me away, how can I not obey, it's not good to make her old man angry and hurt her body." Jia She explained gently.

Still in the name of filial piety.

Dou Cong gave Jia Amnesty a thumbs up, "You are awesome!"

Dou Cong immediately jumped off the horse and let Zhu Mao ride. He didn't even need to step on the horse, and climbed directly into the carriage, and then sat beside Jia She, holding the dagger tightly in his hand.

"The arrow is coming, can you block it with just a dagger?" Jia She teased him.

Dou Cong immediately became excited, stretched his neck out, and asked Zhu Mao to bring over the cloth bag that he was immediately tied to.

Seeing the shape of the cloth bag, Jia She began to feel that he might have said too much just now.Sure enough, after Dou Cong peeled off the cloth, Jia Amnesty saw a brand new and shiny rectangular shield, which stood almost as high as Dou Cong's neck.Dou Cong stood in front of Jia Amnesty holding his shield.I thought it was over, but instead I heard Dou Cong say that his shield is different from ordinary ones.As he said that, he touched the mechanism of the shield, and a part of the iron plate stretched out from the left and right sides of the shield, which just blocked the left and right sides, so it can be regarded as three-sided shielding.

Dou Cong held up the heavy shield, then looked back at Jia She with a triumphant smile: "How about it, do you admire my intelligence? This is what I thought of when I was playing with others when I was six years old. I specially asked the craftsman to make it specially I bought one. I didn’t expect it to be available just a few years later.”

Jia Amnesty nodded, "It's fresh, you almost got an iron cage to surround me."

"Actually, I have long wanted to say that you are really staying in a place where there are copper walls and iron walls on the left, right, up, and down. This is safe and foolproof." After Dou Cong carefully placed the shield in front of Jia She, he simply sat cross-legged On the wooden board of the carriage, he faced Jia She, with his back supporting the shield.

Jia Amnesty smiled helplessly. Since Dou Cong had good intentions, he should take the lead, so he let him do so. He took out the brochure from his sleeve and began to think seriously about the events that happened in recent days.

Dou Cong rested his chin with both hands, and kept looking up at Jia Amnesty.

When it was time to reach the new house, Jia She looked up and found that Dou Cong had his eyes closed, his head tilted on his arms, his breathing had become heavy, and he was about to fall asleep.He picked up the big cushion beside him and placed it beside Dou Cong, then got up and moved the cold shield behind him.With a sway of the carriage, Dou Cong fell sideways on the cushion, with no intention of waking up.Jia Amnesty covered Dou Cong with the cloak he always kept in the car.

When the car was about to stop, Jia Amnesty poked his head out and signaled Zhu Mao and others not to speak loudly.Jia Amnesty immediately picked up the child gently, and Gui San followed under the car, and then hugged Dou Cong tightly on the bed in the east wing of the mansion.

Jia Amnesty got out of the carriage, looked up at his new house, although the facade was not as grand as the Rong Mansion, but the vermilion lacquered gate was brightly painted, it was very brand new, and it was a pleasure to look at.Entering the door, there is a beautiful scene, the house is simple and elegant, and the garden is exquisite and elegant.It makes people feel peaceful when they are in it.

Fang Zhenglu then came and presented Jia Amnesty with the 10 taels of banknotes he had prepared.

Jia Amnesty looked at it, then asked Mrs. Yin to put it away, and then told Zhu Mao to go to Ningguo Mansion to call Jia Zhen.

Not long after, Jia Zhen came to meet Jia She in a hurry. When he came by car, he saw "Jia's house" written on the mansion, and the writing was still in a daze. All the maids and wives in the hall also moved here, only then did they realize that Jia She was serious about severing ties with the Rong Mansion, their hearts were shocked, and they couldn't hold it anymore, begging Jia She with a smile, never to talk to Jia Mu Seriously, how could this Jia family drive him out.

As soon as Jia Zhen sat down, a maid brought up a box and put it by his hand.

Jia Zhen was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Jia Amnesty in puzzlement, and asked him what it was.

"Your 10 taels of silver." Jia She said.

Jia Zhen was very embarrassed, "I can't take this money, this is—"

Jia Amnesty: "This is your money."

"But it was because of that incident at the beginning. The money was used to pay for the crime, and you have done a lot of good deeds in my name. How can all these be counted on me for nothing." Jia Zhen originally thought that she The first time I came to Jia She, because he didn't mention the 10 taels of silver, Jia She might still be a little embarrassed because of this matter, and then he would listen to him for a little while.Unexpectedly, before he said anything, Jia Amnesty had already settled the money matter with him.

"What is yours is yours. The life of your Ning Mansion is not as good as it used to be. Besides, Rong'er will get engaged and get married in a few days. It's a place to spend money." Jia Amnesty insisted that Jia Zhen accept it. No, it should be regarded as his gift to Jia Rong's wedding.

Jia Zhen had no choice but to obediently put away the bank notes, and turned to Jia Amnesty and said: "There was an accident early this morning, and the old man sent me a message to let me reflect on the truth and not be unreasonable to you. I Think about it carefully, Uncle must not be short of the 10 taels of silver. You are kind enough to teach me and want to help me to go on the right path. Although the method is very sophisticated, but at that time, no matter whether you are kind or consoling Harsh words and scolding are really useless to me, only the threat of extorting money and ruining my reputation can make me submit. It can be seen that Uncle She knows me a lot, hehe..."

Jia Shejing waited for Jia Zhen to finish speaking, then looked at him silently.

Jia Zhen lost her position, stood up, and apologized to Jia Amnesty with some embarrassment.

"If you have something to say, just say it, you don't have to beat around the bush." ​​Jia She said.

Jia Zhen panicked and hesitated.

Jia Amnesty: "If you don't say anything else, I will leave first. I still have things to deal with."

Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "Let's talk, there is something I want to tell you. It is your old lady and Uncle Zheng. They called me this morning and discussed how to take you, you... …removed from the family tree."

"It's such a good thing, you just do it, why bother to ask me." Jia Amnesty said bluntly.

This, such a good thing?

Jia Zhen was very surprised, he didn't expect Jia Amnesty to react like this.He opened his mouth in surprise, and said to Jia She, "Uncle She, this is not a joke. If you are really removed from the genealogy and reported to the court, then you will be carrying a burden of unfilial piety and disrespect." It is inevitable that people will use this as a basis to participate in the performance, and everything about the Rongguo Mansion may have nothing to do with you."

"This is a method that hurts both sides. Do you think I don't understand? But when I think of this method, it can prevent future troubles forever, and I am looking forward to it. You go to investigate carefully, and tell me the result. I have nothing to argue with." Jia She paused for a moment, and then asked Jia Zhen if she had finished speaking.

Jia Zhen was stunned for a while, then nodded slowly, indicating that she had nothing to say.

Jia She told Jia Zhen: "After I leave, you have to take care of your father's side. I will leave some people to guard Xuanzhen Temple later. This matter is confidential. Don't tell anyone. No. What happened to me today is an example. If you don’t want it to happen to your father, you have to keep it in mind. Besides, if your father’s matter is done this time, there may be some benefits in the future On you, it is also an extremely honorable thing for you."

This matter of making gunpowder is no small matter, and it must not be known by Zhenyan people.Jia Amnesty repeatedly told Jia Zhen to be cautious.

Jia Zhen nodded in fright, expressing that she would be cautious.

Jia Zhen immediately resigned. On the way back, she couldn't sit still no matter how much she thought, so she went straight to Rongfu.He had to persuade the old lady to stop thinking about getting rid of her name. This kind of thing is not good for anyone. As Uncle She said, this is a matter of mutual loss.And the one who hurts the most is probably the Jia family. Without such a big backing as Uncle She, the Jia family may not even be considered a thing in Beijing in the future.

After seeing Jia Mu, Jia Zhen was about to open her mouth to explain the matter clearly, hoping that Jia Mu could calm down.Not wanting him to be eloquent, Mother Jia immediately asked him if he could summon the elders of Jia's family.

Jia Zhen was stunned.

"Could it be that you are perfunctory to me?" Mother Jia lamented twice, holding her forehead helplessly, sighing that she was dizzy.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly inquired about Jia's mother's health, and asked someone to invite a doctor.

"It's useless to ask Daluo God, I'm sick of my heart." Mother Jia immediately lamented that she was old and useless, and her words were worthless, and no one listened.

Jia Zhen immediately understood that the old lady was talking about him, and hurriedly bowed to express that he had sent a message to the elders.

Mother Jia raised the corners of her lips, and smiled politely at Jia Zhen: "I'm sure I can rest assured that you are doing things. I just said it was the useless boss of my family!"

After Jia's mother finished speaking, she asked Jia Zheng to entertain Jia Zhen, and she had a headache, so she was helped down by the maids to rest first.

From then on, only Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng were left in the room.

Jia Zheng discussed with Jia Zhen in a friendly tone: "Don't blame the old lady for being angry, he didn't throw fire at you. Your Uncle She even took the people from Rongxi Hall and moved out of Rongfu today without saying a word!"

"I've also heard about this, but it seems that the old lady didn't want him to live here, so she sent him out. Did the old lady put down the words 'If Uncle Xi doesn't leave, she will go'?"

Jia Zheng frowned: "Old lady, that was just a moment of anger, how can you take it seriously."

"Not serious? Uncle Zheng, don't blame me for talking too much. You and the old lady called me in a serious way before, and wanted to remove Uncle She from the genealogy for being unfilial and disrespectful. I took it seriously, let alone such words spread to Uncle She In the ear, it will definitely hurt him ten times, and it will hurt him even more."

Jia Zhen avenged Jia Amnesty's grievances very much. How could she say the words of driving people out casually, but it would really be chilling.

"He really disobeyed the old lady and lied to us before. The old lady said a few heavy words when she was angry, shouldn't she? As a son, he didn't show filial piety, he coaxed his own mother, and instead wanted to fight hard with her old man , Is this right? If I say that he wasn't at fault in the first place, he should admit his mistakes and make amends." Jia Zheng said.

When Jia Zhen heard Jia Zheng's words, she also felt that it made sense, so she nodded to express her understanding.

Jia Zheng then urged Jia Zhen to gather all the clan members tonight, and discuss this matter while Jia Amnesty was still there.

"So urgent?" Jia Zhen asked.

Jia Zheng: "He's leaving tomorrow, and he doesn't know when he'll be back. If you don't do this as soon as possible, the old lady will be tied up in her heart, and she won't be able to feel at ease. Big brother should learn a lesson for disrespecting her like that."

"Well, anyway, this person is easy to call, but there is no need to invite Uncle She. He just told me that he can say whatever you want, and he doesn't argue." Jia Zhen explained.

Jia Zheng was surprised, and asked Jia Zhen seriously if he was sure what he meant.

Jia Zhen nodded, "He thinks it's simple and direct, and it's impossible to make a mistake."

Jia Zheng was very puzzled, and he couldn't understand why Jia Amnesty had no intention of refuting and resisting at all.But that's okay, without him, things are better under control.

After Jia Zhen said goodbye to Jia Zheng, she immediately sent someone to gather the other eight elders in the clan.

When it was almost dusk, the elders plus Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, a total of ten people, discussed this matter in the meeting hall of Jia's ancestral hall.

When the elders heard Jia Zhen's explanation of the purpose of this meeting, their complexions changed drastically.Who would have expected that this discussion within the clan would be to expel the most promising Master She of the Jia clan.Isn't this suicidal?crazy?Still stupid?

Jia Daiming, the oldest and most respected among the elders, stood up and asked Jia Zhen why she made such a decision.

"Uh... this..." Jia Zhen turned her head to look at Jia Zheng, and stretched out her hand to invite Jia Zheng to explain the matter.

"First, he disrespected his mother, second, he was not friendly with his brothers, and third, in order to compete for status and family property, he serially designed to deceive his family. As for the evidence, I don't need to say more, let alone ask my old lady to make a statement in person, all I need is this book That's enough." After Jia Zheng said that, he presented the first three volumes of "The Shocking Secret" and "The Neighbor's Secret" for everyone to read.

"Master She is the author of "Secrets of the Neighborhood", the old men have also heard about it, and everyone who is present must be familiar with "Secrets of the Neighborhood", even if they can't afford this book, it must be I have read the content by borrowing. It is indeed wrong for Master Xi to reveal the situation of Rongfu. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. It is indeed wrong for him to write the situation of Rongfu in the book. But this kind of thing sometimes depends on the situation , I recalled that at that time the Grand Master Pardon had a last resort, so he had no choice but to make such a decision." Jia Daiming said.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean? Does it mean that my old lady and I deserved to be cheated by him?"

"I dare not dare, but there are indeed some...problems in your mansion. And the things said in the neighbor's secret report are all true. How did I hear later that it was Mr. Zheng who took the initiative to move out of Rongxi Hall Yes, I begged Mr. She to live in. Why is this? Mr. She did not force Mr. Zheng at that time, but Mr. Zheng, you think that it is not appropriate to live in the Rongxi Hall of the Kingdom of Rong, because of your status as the second son. It's gone." Jia Daiming bluntly told the truth without giving Jia Zheng any face.

Hearing this, Jia Zheng was so angry that he slapped the table, pointed at Jia Daiming's nose, and scolded him for being presumptuous and making false accusations.

Jia Daiming sat in his seat and looked at Jia Jiazheng with a sneer on his face, "This is your etiquette to your elders? How can you have the face to say that your elder brother is disrespectful and disrespectful? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

All the elders looked at Jia Zheng one after another, and they all looked at Jia Zheng with a strange look in their eyes.

Jia Zheng calmed down, his face changed slightly, he frowned, and reluctantly saluted and apologized to Jia Daiming.

Jia Daiming nodded, expressing that he doesn't care about young people.

Jia Zheng then turned around and sat down, feeling very suffocated in his heart.He also had contact with Jia Daiming before. When Jia She was not a powerful person, Jia Daiming was just a small person in the clan who didn't even have a voice, and he never took him seriously.As far as the members of the Jia family are concerned, none of them depend on the Rongning Second Mansion for their livelihood, even if these old people are senior, they never dare to provoke him.Every time I saw him, everyone nodded and bowed obediently.Now it's really a dog's power, and it's showing power and prestige to him.

Jia Daiming sat upright, full of righteousness, and explained to everyone: "What is the virtue of Mr. Amnesty, let alone how he saved the people from fire and water, how to resolve the crisis at the border, and how to help the community. Let's talk about it. Every household with the surname Jia, Who hasn't received his kind care? He cleaned up the clan's middle school. Which family's children didn't receive a better education, study hard, and walk the right path? Looking at our Jia clan with cold eyes, the atmosphere has improved, and they have gained a little bit of fame in Beijing. Is it because of his blessing that he gradually became respected by others? Now, at the very moment when he is in trouble, our own family will make a fuss about getting rid of him and hurting him. If this news gets out, what will outsiders think of us? "

Jia Zhen nodded in agreement, and he also felt that this matter should not become a big deal.It is true that delisting will have an impact on Jia She's official career, etc., but for the Jia family, the loss is even greater.This has not considered whether Jia Amnesty will retaliate in the future, and whether Mr. Song will use tricks to embarrass the Jia family.

In short, such a move would probably kill four hundred enemies and damage one thousand.Jia Amnesty is basically an unshakable big tree in the Jia family. Everyone leans against the tree in a friendly manner, and they can all get cheap and enjoy the shade.If it is really necessary to remove this tree, it will not only take a lot of effort, not to mention self-injury, and everyone will have to bask in the sun in the days to come.

In fact, even a bastard like him knows this kind of truth, how can a gentleman who has read so many books not understand it.Jia Zhen couldn't figure out why Jia Zheng didn't try to comfort Jia's mother, but instead encouraged Jia's muddled thoughts.

Jia Daiming's words were quickly echoed by other named elders. Although they were not as straightforward as what Jia Daiming said, they all said that Jia Zheng, as Jia Amnesty's youngest brother, should not have made evil words to accuse and frame his elder brother.

"I framed it? Are you old men confused and don't understand what I'm talking about? Or do you just look at my elder brother's mountain to lean on, so you all want to flatter him and talk to him?" Jia Zheng Originally, I could still maintain my demeanor, but the more I listened to these old men slandering myself, the more angry I became in my stomach, and I couldn't help it, so I just fought them to the end.

The elders became even more unhappy when Jia Zheng spoke to them in such a disrespectful manner. They believed that what Jia Daiming said at the beginning was correct.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he had nothing to say, he slapped the table and got up, angrily said: "I don't think we can talk about today's matter, let's leave first!"

After all, people went.

Several elders expressed dissatisfaction one after another, and then complained to Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen had no choice but to deal with it with an apologetic smile, complaining in her heart, complaining that Jia Zheng ran away without finishing the trouble.He remembered this lesson, Jia Zheng must never ask him for anything in the future, and he will definitely not run errands for him.

"I think the old lady in Rongfu is also confused." Jia Daiming stroked his beard and sighed.

Immediately someone echoed: "It's quite common. Old people tend to do this when they get old. Next door to my house, there is an eighty-year-old mother. The whole family is very filial to her old man. They cover their feet in winter, fan the wind in summer, and take care of her." Be very careful. But guess what happened to the old lady? Just after eating, I asked her and said she was full, but then forgot about it and told others that she was hungry. The old man has a bad appetite, and the children are afraid that she will eat too much. If she accumulates food and refuses to give it, she will tell everyone that the children disrespect her, starve her and refuse to give her food."

"That's right, when children and grandchildren encounter this kind of thing, where do you go to judge it?"

"Thinking about it now, it's really not easy to pardon the Grand Master."

"It's really not easy."

……

The old men sighed one after another, lamenting and sympathizing with Jia She at the same time.

Jia Zhen couldn't help but secretly laughed a few times, and after saying goodbye to the elders, he sent a servant to pass on the words to Jia Amnesty immediately, so that he could rest assured that the Jia family's affairs would not cause much trouble.

Besides Jia Zheng, after returning home, he told Jia's mother what happened.Mother Jia was so angry that she had nothing to say, and she became angry and coughed continuously.The servants in Jiamu's courtyard didn't sleep all night, and they tossed and tossed all night, knowing that Jiamu would be better when it was dawn, so she fell asleep.

Jia Zheng dragged Mrs. Wang to accompany him.The couple didn't go back to their room until dawn, so Jia Zheng undressed and discussed with Mrs. Wang to have a quick rest.

Mrs. Wang remained motionless, sitting at the table, twirling the prayer beads in her hands and not making a sound.

"Talking to you, why are you getting angry?"

"I advised the master not to talk nonsense, talk about Taoist nuns, and go to contradict elder brother, but you don't want to. Now that this situation has happened, elder brother has to go far away at dawn. This knot that has just formed will not last for a while You can't get over it, it will be a long time, and if he comes back, you will definitely have a relationship, and you will never get back the relationship you had before." Mrs. Wang complained.

Jia Zheng listened to Mrs. Wang's nagging about this matter, annoyed him even more, grabbed his clothes and went out, found a place to sleep, and absolutely ignored Mrs. Wang.

After Jia Amnesty received Jia Zhen's message last night, he never paid attention to the situation of Rongning and Ningfu.But last night, he ordered people to track down the secret printing site of "Shocking Secret" finally revealed his clues.No matter how secret the location of the printing workshop is, so many books need to be printed, a large amount of ink must be needed, and Jia Amnesty used this ink to find out the source.

The ink used by the private printing workshops in the capital all comes from the Song family's industry.Therefore, it was convenient for Jia Amnesty to investigate. After obtaining the relevant accounts from Heng Shu, he started from the record of the sophomore's purchase of ink to track down the whereabouts.After several investigations, Heizhu and the others finally located a suspicious place, which was a printing and dyeing workshop in Beijing that had been shut down.The wonderful thing is that the printing and dyeing workshop is located only one street away from the back door of the Third Prince's Mansion.

According to the dictation of the people who often come and go near the printing and dyeing workshop, some people came and went to the printing and dyeing workshop some time ago. They thought it had changed hands, so they started printing and dyeing again.

At dawn, there is a red glow in the east.

Jia Amnesty dressed neatly, and immediately ordered the subordinates of Gyeonggi Prefecture to search the printing and dyeing workshop.
