The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 147 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Jia Mu nodded, "He is really promising."
It was the first time for Wang Xifeng to hear Mother Jia praise the Grand Master so bluntly.In the past, the Grand Master was appointed, and the old lady just said a few insipid words, and she always liked to pick on the Grand Master's faults in front of everyone.Now after going through this ordeal, the old lady can be regarded as clear-sighted, knowing how much harm there will be after leaving the old man.After this, it should be more cherish the result of lost and regained.
When Mother Jia saw that the children were all relieved, as if they had obtained gold and silver treasures in an instant, the feeling of depression in her heart increased again.When the crowd dispersed, Jia Mu sat alone and sighed, as if she had suddenly aged ten years.
Seeing that Jiamu was in a bad mood, Yuanyang served tea and rubbed her shoulders.
Mother Jia sighed vicissitudes of life, "After all, I haven't beaten the boss. In his eyes, I am not worth being his mother."
"But after all, we are a family, so why fight to the detriment of both sides. In fact, the old man can be regarded as a coaxable person, and the old lady will slowly get to know his temperament." Yuanyang persuaded.
Jiamu turned her head and looked at her seriously, "Tell me carefully, sometimes people can't see clearly when they are in it."
"The old man is such a person. Whoever treats him well, he will pay back. But if anyone treats him badly, is not sincere, or has other purposes, he will definitely return the same. He is indifferent and unwilling to pay attention. To put it bluntly Now, the old man is actually a person who prefers softness to toughness, and this kind of softness must be sincere and soft."
After hearing this, Jia Mu was silent for a long time.
……
Jia Amnesty reported the success of the gunpowder formula in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which greatly inspired the emperor. Even though he was unwell, he excitedly expressed that he must personally experience the power of the gunpowder.
At this time, Cai Feiping brought the memorial and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor asked Jia Amnesty to accompany him to deal with the memorial.Huang Yuande's book just happened to be assigned to Jia She, who dared not judge without authorization and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at Jia She with strange eyes, "Is it true that you were unfilial and eventually expelled from the Jia clan?"
"Filial piety and unfilial piety, I don't dare to speak falsely without authorization. You have to ask the old lady in the family to count. As for being expelled from the Jia clan, I haven't met the head of the Jia clan. I just heard it, so I'm not sure." Jia She Answered truthfully.
"Jia Enhou, it's been a few days since you came back, and you don't even know what's going on at home?"
Jia Amnesty then truthfully informed the emperor that he had moved out of Rongfu.
"I think you are really unfilial. Your mother is still here, but you moved away without authorization. You have a distracted intention." When the emperor thought that Jia She was favored by being an official, he disrespected his mother at home, and immediately had no affection for him.Wherever he is now, he is at best a power minister who has been forced to gain favor.As the emperor's father, he still respects his mother in every possible way, so Marquis Jia En has no right to be unfilial to his mother.Besides, if a man doesn't even respect the old mother who gave birth to him and raised him, how can he be loyal and trustworthy, and do his best for the country!
The emperor glared at Jia She angrily, "If what Huang Yuande said is true, don't blame me for being ruthless, and deal with you immediately."
The emperor put down the notebook with a snap, seeing that Jia Amnesty did not admit his mistake, but just lowered his eyes and remained silent, he felt even more angry.
At this time, the eunuch came to send a message, telling the emperor Song Xi to ask for an audience.
The emperor looked at Jia Amnesty angrily, and shouted impatiently, "Let him in."
After Song Xi saluted, he replied to the emperor. Now he has recovered and can resume his post.
Hearing this, the emperor softened his attitude a lot, and sighed: "You were sick a few days ago, but you made your sister worry about it, but now you are fine. It's a very good thing. Have you gone to see your sister?"
Song Xi shook his head.
The emperor then asked Song Xi to go to the Hall of Spring Harmony in a while, so that the queen could take a good look at him, and save her from having to worry about it.
Song Xi agreed lightly.
The emperor looked at Jia She again, and then looked at Song Xi meaningfully. He always felt that Song Xi's visit today was so coincidental that it was probably for Jia She's emergency.But after waiting for a while, the emperor saw that Song Xi didn't speak, but he himself was a little anxious, so he asked Song Xi's opinion directly.
Song Xi bowed slightly and said: "If Mrs. Jia really committed unfilial behavior, which made her old lady so anxious that she called the clan to remove her, Mr. Jia's crime of unfilial piety is firmly established, so why not punish her anger. It is the place where scholars all over the world strive to imitate and admire, if Mr. Jia, as the leader of Yushitai, is not good enough, why should he set an example for the people of the world, it is really inappropriate."
The emperor nodded, expressing the truth of what Song Xi said.This matter cannot be favored because of Jia She's meritorious service, and now he ignores the law and lets it go at will.
"Filial piety is the first thing to do. If you always keep benevolence and filial piety, you will not bear to do anything that cannot be done in the world. On the contrary, it is not advisable." The emperor said leisurely, and his eyes turned to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty was still standing there with his eyes half downcast, only having the intention of admitting his mistake.
The Emperor frowned angrily.
After a while, Huang Yuande was called into the hall.
Before Huang Yuande went to the palace, he already knew that the emperor summoned him this time because of Jia Amnesty's unfilial piety.As soon as the emperor asked him whether what he said was true, he immediately presented the household registration book and asked the emperor to have a look.It shows how unfilial and disrespectful Jia She is, and now he has moved out of Rongfu without authorization and set up his own family, which has already made his old mother seriously ill.At the same time, Huang Yuande also told the emperor how Jia's mother went to Dali Temple and sued Jia for being unfilial. He described it very carefully and clearly, as if he was there at that time.
After the emperor had read the household registration booklet, he placed the booklet heavily on the table, and asked Jia Amnesty sharply what explanation he had.
Jia Amnesty leaned forward slightly, and was about to admit it, but Song Xi spoke up first, asking the emperor to take a look at the household registration book.
The emperor thought that Song Xi probably didn't believe that Jia She would commit unfilial behavior, so he called Song Xi to his side and asked him to see enough and recognize Jia She's character.
Song Xi glanced at it, then raised his hand to slightly raise the book, separated the page, and examined it carefully under the light.
"What do you mean?" the emperor looked at Song Xi wonderingly.
Song Xi presented the book to the emperor again, and respectfully whispered to the emperor: "I think this booklet seems to be..."
Song Xi hesitated and said nothing.
"What does it seem?" the emperor asked anxiously.
"There are traces of modification." Song Xi pointed to the position of the page, and explained to the emperor that there is a popular method on the market today that can erase ink characters. At first glance, it is almost invisible, but if you look closely, you can find it Minor marks, such as erasing where parts of the paper appear slightly grayer than others.
After hearing this, Huang Yuande immediately argued that he had not changed. "This household registration book was asked for by the Ministry of Households, and it was presented to the Holy Majesty before it was warmed up in the hands of the minister. Besides, I don't have the guts to make fakes. Just ask the people in the Ministry of Accounts about such things. It will be clear."
"That's true. Since it is a major matter of delisting and changing nationality, it is necessary to ask the officials of the household department carefully. If there is any situation involving the delisting of the Jia family, the head of the Jia family should also be called to inquire. Over there, go to Rongfu It is most suitable for Mrs. Rong Guogong to confirm it herself. No matter how you say it, Lord Jia is an important minister in the court and in charge of a group of censors. If you really want to deal with him, the evidence should be convincing and everyone will be convinced. No one will catch the loopholes It’s good to dare to argue.”
The emperor nodded, feeling that Song Xi's words were justified, and immediately ordered someone to deal with the matter.Everything else is easy to say, as for Jia Mu, it is better to send someone to inform the Queen Mother, and order her to ask Jia Mu to confirm whether it is the most appropriate.
When Song Xi heard that the emperor wanted to summon Jia Zhen, he hurriedly expressed that Jia Zhen's qualifications were not enough, but when he entered the palace just now, he saw Jia Jing outside the palace.
The emperor recalled Jia Jing, and thought that since Jia Jing was Jia Zhen's father, it would be better to ask him than his son, and it was more convenient, so he announced Jia Jing to see him.The emperor first praised Jia Jing for his contribution to developing the gunpowder formula, and then immediately asked him about Jia Amnesty's expulsion.
Jia Jing hurriedly said that he had never heard of this matter.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that your son handled this matter secretly without telling you?"
"Returning to the emperor, I used to be a monk who practiced Taoism in Xuanzhen Temple. It was reasonable for him to take care of the affairs of the clan, but now that I have returned to vulgarity, the responsibility of the patriarch naturally returned to the minister. Without the minister's consent, he did not That ability can casually remove the members of the clan. Furthermore, I ask the emperor to forgive me. I really want to say something nice for my cousin. With his character and how he has taken care of the clan members all these years, I am the minister. Agree, those elders in the clan will not be willing." After Jia Jing finished speaking, he kowtowed to the emperor, begging the emperor to investigate clearly and return Jia's innocence.
When the emperor heard this, most of his anger dissipated. Thinking carefully about Jia She's usual behavior, he really didn't look like a person with poor conduct and filial piety.But when he questioned Jia She just now, Jia She's words were ambiguous, he dared not deny it, and he clearly meant to admit it.
Huang Yuande was a little anxious at this time, and kept explaining to the emperor that he had really investigated and confirmed the matter in the household registration book before he dared to report it.
The emperor glanced suspiciously at Huang Yuande, and then at Song Xi, Jia Jing, and Jia She. At this moment, he didn't know who to trust.Fortunately, Song Xi's proposal is correct, just wait a moment and confirm this matter with many parties, the truth will be seen immediately.
Liu Zhongliang, the servant of the household department, then met with him and handed over the relevant household registration registers of Rongguo Mansion.
"Why is there another volume?" The emperor sighed while opening it.
Liu Zhongliang looked at the emperor slightly puzzled, thought for a while, and bowed without saying a word.
The emperor carefully read the contents of the booklet, then frowned fiercely, and threw the things in his hand directly in front of Huang Yuande.
"Are you old and dizzy, how dare you frame my loyal ministers so righteously and awe-inspiringly!"
Huang Yuande was stunned, knelt down quickly, crawled to pick up the household registration book on the ground, and found that Jia She's name was indeed on the Rongfu.
Huang Yuande looked at Jia Amnesty in disbelief, "This is impossible, why is it not written in the booklet I asked for from the Ministry of Household Affairs, but also specifically stated that it has been removed?"
Liu Zhongliang looked at Huang Yuande wonderingly: "Why, my lord still has a household registration book of my household department?"
The emperor asked Liu Zhongliang to explain why he said this.
Liu Zhongliang hurriedly cupped his hands and explained to the emperor that this household registration book was only registered in one copy at the Ministry of Households, and there should not be a second copy.
The emperor glanced at the book that Huang Yuande presented earlier, judging from the cover and paper, it was indeed the same as the one from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Liu Zhongliang asked for the booklet to read carefully, and then lamented that the book Huang Yuande handed over was a bit old, and the pages were not white.Originally, I couldn't tell it by looking at it alone, but Liu Zhongliang compared this booklet with the one he held before, and the colors of the inner pages of the two books can be distinguished at a glance, one white and one yellow.
"On the contrary, a few days ago, the stall found that some of the booklets by the window had become damp and moldy, so they decided to copy them all. The book Mr. Huang took seemed to be a booklet that should have been burned after copying, but for some reason, it ended up in the Yellow River. Your Excellency's hand." After Liu Zhongliang explained, he turned and looked at Huang Yuande with disdain, and asked him how he got the booklet.
Huang Yuande yelled at being wronged, saying that when he heard about Jia Amnesty's expulsion, he immediately sent a small official to the Ministry of Households to transfer the household registration book. "This booklet was taken by the servant next to me, how could it be fake!"
Liu Zhongliang immediately asked the time, and learned that just two days ago, he asked Liu Zhongliang to ask who got the brochure from the little official, and he ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Households to fetch the booklet specially used for recording and registering foreign loans. booklet to see if it matches.
However, the final result was that the Ministry of Household Affairs did not record it, and the little official who went to get the booklet only said that after explaining the situation at the door of the Household Department, someone directly took the booklet to him.When asked to describe the person's appearance in detail, the little official couldn't tell.When they called all the people who were working in the household department at that time, and asked the little official to identify them, he didn't identify them.
While this matter was going on, Mother Jia also had a reply, saying that she did not intend to expel Jia Amnesty.
"Kechen's people clearly witnessed her going to Dali Temple to sue her eldest son, Master Jia!" Huang Yuande pointed excitedly at Jia Amnesty.
Jia She glanced at Huang Yuande, but remained silent.
When Liu Zhongliang heard this, he refused to give in, and immediately asked Huang Yuande, "Is it possible that Mr. Huang is monitoring Mr. Jia and Mr. Jia's whereabouts?"
Huang Yuande was stunned for a moment, and then immediately denied it, saying that he hadn't.But his guilty attitude has already been noticed by the emperor.
The emperor calmed down and asked the eunuch Dali Temple Qing Lin Ruhai if he had arrived.
The eunuch nodded, "I've been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the saint to call."
Lin Ruhai then went to the hall and denied what Huang Yuande pointed out about Jia's mother suing her son Jia Amnesty for being unfilial.
"The old lady went to Dali Temple to look for a minister that day. It was a private matter, and it was just a private discussion. She didn't mean to sue Mr. Jia." Lin Ruhai bowed his head slightly, and said to the emperor.
At this moment, Jia She glanced at Lin Ruhai's face from the corner of his eye, his face was calm, but his heart was pounding with huge waves.He could tell that Lin Ruhai was lying, at least the first half of the sentence was a lie.
Jia Amnesty turned to Song Xi again, wondering if it was because of him that he had pulled so many people to defend him by lying.But Liu Zhongliang's attitude just now doesn't seem like a fake.Liu Zhongliang is usually very upright, with an upright spirit, if you ask him to lie about such a person, you will definitely see through it at a glance from his demeanor, but just now Jia She didn't see anything unusual from Liu Zhongliang.
Just because of his expulsion, these people caused such a big battle in the Hall of Spring Harmony.
Jia She's heart sank, and his face sank even more.
As evidenced by the three parties, Jia Amnesty did not commit any unfilial acts.Huang Yuande became a sinner who forged the household registration book of the Ministry of Households and framed the imperial court officials.
Huang Yuande was naturally not reconciled, he looked at Jia Jing, Song Xi, and Liu Zhongliang, and suddenly realized, he quickly kowtowed to the emperor, pointed to these people and explained to the emperor that these people were colluding to intercede for Jia Amnesty.
When Liu Zhongliang heard this, he roared angrily, and scolded Huang Yuande for being unworthy of being an official. He was filthy and deceitful, and felt that everything in this world was filthy.
"It's impossible. If it wasn't for you, you and your partners plotted against me. What would I do with a fake household registration book that can be exposed at any time for no reason?" Huang Yuande asked the emperor to learn.
When the emperor heard it, he also thought it made sense.It is true that Huang Yuande is not as cautious as Jia Amnesty in doing things, and he pays attention to evidence, but he is not so stupid.
Song Xi bowed to the emperor and said: "A few days ago, Mrs. Jia did have a conflict with Mrs. Guo, and Mrs. Guo spoke angrily because of this, and sent Mrs. Jia away. Mrs. Jia also didn't want his mother to be annoyed when she saw him. It was because of filial piety that he didn't want to offend the old lady, so he moved away from the Rong Mansion. If it is said that Mr. Jia is not filial, he will naturally admit it. Besides, he is not very clear about whether he will be removed from the list, and naturally he will not deny Mr. Huang's words If I hadn't come here today, I'm afraid Mr. Huang's move would have succeeded."
The emperor frowned, feeling that there was a difference in the explanation.Song Xi hurriedly bowed his hands to the emperor, saying that this matter involved privacy, but it was inconvenient to explain in public.
The emperor thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood something when he looked at Song Xi with his own meaningful eyes.He immediately ordered the rest of the hall to retreat, while Huang Yuande stood by outside, leaving only Jia She and Song Xi in the room.
Song Xi: "To tell you the truth, the old lady of his family is arguing when she finds out about the relationship between the minister and Mr. Jia. But it's just an occasional disagreement between mother and son, and the old lady doesn't really intend to expel him. , I just couldn’t accept it for a while.”
"Then why did she go to Dali Temple to find Lin Ruhai?" the emperor continued to ask.
Song Xi hurriedly explained: "Before Mr. Jia left, she expelled Mr. Jia to live outside temporarily. Now that he came back, he didn't dare to go back to see the old lady. He was afraid that the old lady would look at him again and get angry. Who would have thought that the old lady would be angry because of this?" After thinking about it, I went to my son-in-law and said, I hope Mrs. Lin can reconcile it. There is also the matter of the succession of the Lin family. Let’s discuss it by the way. But he said that the old lady was going to see Nan’an Concubine that day, and happened to pass by Dali The temple mansion had a stomachache at that time, so I bothered Mr. Lin and said these two things by the way. Otherwise, the old lady would not be able to step into Dali Temple no matter what."
The emperor nodded, listening to Song Xi's words made sense, this matter should not be faked, and it would be confirmed immediately after asking later.At this moment, the emperor looked at Jia She, who was speechless and silent the whole time, and finally felt that he was a little wronged, so he told him a few words about emphasizing filial piety.
"The matter between you and Mu Lin is unacceptable to most people, not to mention that she is an old man, you have to coax her slowly, don't engage in such blunt tempers, and make the mother-child relationship stiff. I don't think your old lady is unreasonable. My dear, just go back and talk to her carefully, if it doesn't help you, you can mention me, and say that I also acquiesce in the relationship between the two of you." The emperor ordered.
If he had heard these words at other times, Jia She might have appreciated the emperor, but at this time, he was not in the mood. After thanking him, except for the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his entire face remained serious, without any sign of relaxation.
Huang Yuande was declared into the palace immediately, and was taught a lesson severely.Not long after, the Hall of Martial Arts got the news that the emperor had ordered someone to draw up an order to demote Huang Yuande from the Minister of Rites to a servant, and to monitor him for a period of time. If he still did not change his sloppy behavior, the emperor would simply ignore his old minister. For the sake of sympathy, let him pack up and go back to his hometown.
"It was a serious crime to fabricate false testimony to frame an official in the court, and he shouldn't have stayed. However, this guy argued that someone was plotting against him, which made the emperor half-believe, and instead kept him." Song Xi sighed.
Hearing this, Jia She looked up at Song Xi steadily, "Then do you think he was being plotted against?"
"Yes, I plotted against him, who told him to plot against you." Seeing that Jia She was in a bad mood, Song Xi hurriedly continued to explain, "The name change on the household registration book was originally fake. Fool your brother, and scare your old lady by the way. Later, I found out that he paid attention to this matter, and bribed the people around Mr. Lin in Dali Temple, so I tripped him. It’s not that I intend to harm him, but he himself Sent to the door to seek death."
"It's a good plan." Jia Amnesty said bluntly, and turned to look up at Song Xi, "No wonder you mentioned the matter of the old lady before, that's why."
"Fortunately, you listened in and relaxed your attitude, so that your old lady will not accuse you directly in front of outsiders. I also made a plan for his old man to deny you, and said that we have offended her old man , is angry." After Song Xi finished speaking, he took Jia She's hand and gently held his head on his forehead, his voice was low, but his tone was as serious as an oath, "I won't let you have trouble."
"I know that the king's heart is like mine." Jia She smiled slightly, and pressed his lips on Song Xi's forehead.He turned around and grabbed Song Xi's hand tightly. Under the shaking of the carriage, he turned his head and looked out the window. There was still a distance to go, so he talked to Song Xi, "Tell me, did you dream when you were sick and unconscious?" .”
"Yes, I have dreamed about too many things, but they are all like fleeting glances. Once I have dreamed, I forget it. Only about your dream, I will remember it very clearly. It is beautiful inside and outside the dream." Song Xi sighed.
"How did you fall off the horse? I heard that that day when I was hunting with the First Prince and the Fifteenth Prince in the autumn, I fell suddenly. The fall was severe. At that time, everyone was in a coma. Afterwards, I recovered, but I was in the garden at my house. At that time, he fell into the pool again. It sounded a little rough, and this is not like the usual you." Jia She wanted to ask these words before, but at that time, seeing Song Xi's temperament changed slightly, he waited and waited for the change. Today, I feel that Song Xi is still taking care of him as before, so Jia Shefang is relieved to discuss this matter with him in detail.
Song Xi: "You may not believe it when you say this. At that time, you felt that you were not yourself. I still can't recall the situation of falling into the water. But I haven't told anyone about it. I'm afraid of being offended. What else, after all, the tree attracts the wind."
Song Xi laughed at himself, and explained to Jia She that his previous experience was somewhat similar to Jia She's.
"That's fine, you and I are just right for each other."
Jia She laughed, it was hard to imagine that Song Xi would even consider whether he was compatible with such a thing.
"If you really want to match, your face should be a little uglier, so that you can match me better."
"Enhou, you are underestimating yourself. There is no more exquisite scenery than you in this world." Song Xi hugged Jia She, "When the world is settled, I will stay with the elder."
"I'm staying with you now. This person won't wait until now. If one wants to live in the present, how can there be so many tomorrows, and who knows what tomorrow will be like." Jia She said.
Song Xi nodded with a smile, saying that he was absolutely right, and they were living in the present.
When they arrived at Rong Mansion, Jia She said to Song Xi before getting off the car: "I have to live in Rong Mansion tonight, I can't escape, I just need to comfort Er Yatou, and I will find you tomorrow."
"I just talked about the present, but turned around and said tomorrow." Song Xi was half-playful.
Jia Amnesty smiled, and after saying goodbye to Song Xi, he returned home to meet Jia's mother first.
Mother Jia was a little happy to see Jia She finally came back, looked at Jia She and said that he was dark and thin, so she asked someone to arrange food, and told the kitchen to cook ginseng soup for Jia She every day to replenish his body.
But Jia Amnesty was not used to her enthusiasm, thanked Jia Mu respectfully, and left.
Jiamu looked at his back as he left, frowning a little depressed, and then she was a little relieved when Yuanyang persuaded her to take things slowly.Not long after, someone sent by Jia Amnesty came to deliver the imperial tribute medicine.It is said that Jia's mother is not well for a long time, and these mild new medicines may be effective.
Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Look, the Elder Master still cares about you. After all, it is a family. How can the meat that falls out of your belly not respect you."
Mother Jia nodded, "Actually, it's okay for him to take me, but when it comes to the second child, I don't know if I'm being stubborn and serious, or he just cares about it. In short, it's not good for us if it's related to the second room."
"The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the old lady should not worry too much about the second master. The second master is also old, and he has been in the officialdom for many years. He will naturally deal with his own affairs. It's good to go out for a bit of experience, he is a saint , and even sent the eldest prince to the battlefield to live and die."
Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that what Yuanyang said made sense.Now that she already knew what Jia Amnesty's bottom line was, she would naturally not mess with him in the future.I'm afraid that this child would rather die standing up than kneeling and be threatened by her, that's all, she should take it easy, otherwise she can only find her own way of death because she can't think about it.
When Jia She came to Yingchun's room, Yingchun was embroidering, and her hands were very fast. While embroidering, she ordered the maid beside her to fetch the thread, and said that she was so stupid, that she had thought about playing again before, and didn't do the important things first. Okay, let's do something else.
Suddenly heard someone say that the master is coming, Yingchun realized it after embroidering two stitches, stood up abruptly, but saw her father was already standing inside the door.She threw away the flower frame in her hand in a panic, greeted her happily, and saluted happily.
"Let's talk about it, what's the urgent matter at hand?" Jia Amnesty bent down to pick up the spring flower frame, and saw that it was embroidered with bat patterns, which was exquisite.
"I made it for Brother Mao. When my second sister-in-law was pregnant, I started sewing and prepared a set of beautiful clothes, but I made them for girls. Later, I made them for boys, but they were just a piece of cloth for holding a baby." , not very delicate. Two days ago, sister-in-law Tianwangzhu sent them better than me, so I wanted to make another set of clothes quickly to make up for it, and my blindness will be messed up." Yingchun said embarrassedly.
Jia Amnesty asked Yingchun where the girl's clothes were, and asked her to take a look.Yingchun promised to send people over.
Jia Amnesty glanced at it and said hello immediately. "Even someone like me who doesn't understand female celebrities can see at a glance that you have put a lot of effort into embroidering this dress. I think your second sister-in-law will be even happier when she sees her."
"It looks good, I think it looks good too, but I made a mistake, and I don't want to send it out. Thinking about why I was so confused at the time, I just thought that if I were a girl, I would do this by myself, and others would not do it, so I could comfort my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law." You must be happy to see it. Having a son is not the case. Some people give good things to me, so it’s not bad for me. Who knows that a son is really born, so many people give good things to the second sister-in-law. She doesn’t look at it, but just stares at it. I gave it, and it hurt me, saying that I was not dedicated to being an aunt." Although Yingchun complained like this, she said it with a smile, obviously Wang Xifeng didn't really hurt her, but was just joking with her.She also knew it, but she really wanted to express her heart, so she was so busy right now.
"Compared to your newly made clothes, I think she will be happier if you just send this set of clothes." Jia She said.
Yingchun was puzzled and asked Jia Amnesty why.
"Send it to try and you'll know, and when you come back and slowly make this set of clothes, your second sister-in-law will definitely appreciate you." Jia She concluded.
Yingchun raised her eyebrows: "Really? Dad didn't make fun of me?"
Jia Amnesty agreed.
Yingchun chose to listen to Jia Amnesty, and took the clothes to Wang Xifeng.Jia Amnesty stayed in the Yingchun room to drink tea for the time being, and there were a few maids and women staying in the room to wait on them.Jia She had nothing to do, so he asked these people what hobbies Yingchun usually has and who he often hangs out with.After getting the answers one by one, Jia She knew something about it, and he also knew a little about Yingchun's temperament changes now.
After being reminded by the woman in the room, Jia Amnesty also realized that this girl was about to be fourteen or five years old, and she should be the age to discuss marriage.But for this daughter of his, what kind of person to match him with can make him worry.Jia Amnesty searched in his mind a circle of young people from aristocratic families who he only knew about in the capital.Immediately, he asked someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the list of children who he thought were of good character on the rice paper. There were ten candidates in total.
Jia Amnesty pondered from the first one.
Not big enough, cross it out.
Mischievous, crossed out.
The family members are complex, with many sisters-in-law, crossed out.
……
The future mother-in-law seems to be difficult to get along with, so cross it out.
Jia Amnesty crossed out the ten names unconsciously, and then stared at the blank space on the second half of the page, slightly stunned.Thinking about whether there is a more suitable candidate who can fill the gap in this place.
At this time, it was rumored that Yingchun had returned.Jia Amnesty quickly rolled up the paper on the table and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Yingchun entered the door with a smile on her face, saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, hurriedly came over to ask Jia She what to write or draw.
"It's just boring, how about you?" Jia She asked.
Yingchun happily gave Jia She a thumbs up, "Father, I really didn't expect that I gave my set to Lian's second sister-in-law, and after I apologized and explained the reason to her, she laughed and cried, and then hugged me." She praised me, praised me as her good sister, who was closer than her own sister, and said that this was the best gift she had ever received, which made me feel embarrassed. But I still don't understand why she is so happy ?”
"Your sister-in-law has been married for many years and has never been able to conceive. Later, she finally became pregnant. Everyone is looking forward to her having a son. What worries do you think she has in her heart?"
Yingchun suddenly realized.
"It was your delicate thoughts that moved him." Jia She said.
Yingchun laughed happily and thanked her father for his idea.
Jia Amnesty chatted with Yingchunqian again, and gently asked her what kind of person is a good man.Yingchun thought for a while and said seriously: "Father is like this, it is best in daughter's eyes."
Jia Amnesty was startled, smiled, and bid farewell to Yingchun.When Jia Lian came to Ding Province in the evening, Jia Amnesty asked Jia Lian to send a message to Wang Xifeng, asking her to find out what kind of man Yingchun liked when she was chatting with Yingchun recently.
Jia Lian understood immediately, and asked with a smile, "Father is trying to find a marriage for the second sister?"
"Of course, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Pick the best one and put it there so that no one will snatch it away." Jia She said in a serious tone.
Jia Lian couldn't get used to hearing his father say this in a serious manner. He smiled and said that he would convey it carefully, and later he would find some famous matchmakers in the capital to search for a list of suitable children in the capital and check them one by one.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll do it."
Jia Lian hurriedly slapped herself, "Look at me, I forgot about this matter. In terms of investigators, the master is the best."
The next day, Jia Amnesty went to the neighbor's house.The black pig came to report his observation of the situation at the Ford Tea House opposite yesterday.
"The little one originally sent some beggars to guard the front and back of the Fude teahouse, but the shopkeeper was unwilling and insisted on sending them away. After that, the young one asked people to enter the teahouse in disguise to drink tea. The teahouse opened late. , the door closes early, and if you just drink tea in front, you won’t notice anything.” After the black pig finished speaking, he told Jia She, “Only one thing, someone could vaguely hear the cry of a child, because the lobby was noisy, but they couldn’t tell. He couldn’t really hear it, he wasn’t sure, and only Fushun heard it.”
"Then this man named Fushun usually has good ears?" Jia She asked.
The black pig nodded, "It's the pointed ears."
Jia Amnesty nodded, and then asked the black pig what happened to the servant in Prime Minister Wu's mansion.
"No, I just went out with the prime minister yesterday and returned home."
Jia Amnesty drank tea and left in the car.When his carriage passed by Ford Tea House, he could see the guy standing in the lobby, looking up deliberately, then immediately lowered his head, pretending to sweep the floor.
After Jia Amnesty arrived at Lin's residence, he planned to meet Lin Ruhai's distant nephew Lin Ye who had borrowed from the northwest.
"If it hadn't been mentioned in the Hall of Supreme Harmony yesterday, I wouldn't have known that I had brought him back, so I would have to give a special opinion when I visit this time." Jia She said.
"Even if you don't come, I'm going to ask you personally to take a look. This child looks good to me. Although his mother and grandmother don't read much, they are people who know the general idea. But I see You are also clear about people's eyes, and you may not be sure, so I still feel relieved when you check it out." Lin Ruhai sighed.
Jia Amnesty then asked Lin Ruhai how Lin Ye's mother and grandmother made arrangements.
"Arranged to live outside the mansion. I don't have any female relatives in my family. It's not suitable for them to live in, so I arranged them in a house not far from Lin's mansion. There are five houses, and I arranged for two servants." It is appropriate for four servant girls to serve you." Lin Ruhai said.
Jia She nodded, and Lin Ye was ushered in at this moment.
Jia She looked at the child, his body was slender, his features looked a little like those of the Lin family, and he was a little timid. When he entered the house, he was panicked when he saw him, but after Lin Ruhai's recommendation, he suddenly realized that he had met him.
Jia She asked him two common questions, and then asked him if he would like to study in the Lin Manor, Lin Ye nodded sincerely.
Jia Amnesty gave Lin Ruhai a signal, and Lin Ruhai sent Lin Ye away. After the two drank some tea, Lin Ye's mother, Mrs. Chen, came to visit her. There were seven or eight women in the house, and Mrs. Chen was like this. In the Lin family, she also has the title of a woman in charge, so it's not too embarrassing to come to see her like this.
Jia Amnesty also started to ask Mrs. Chen a few simple questions, such as how old is she, when did her husband get married, her father-in-law's name and so on.Mrs. Chen was very puzzled, but she answered them all.
Immediately, Jia Amnesty suddenly asked, "How is your life in the Lin family? You also know that the Lin family has no heirs. Have you thought about taking the property of the Lin family for yourself?"
Chen rolled her eyes, pursed the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly knelt down to say to Jia She and Lin Ruhai, "The concubine's family is already grateful for Master Lin's help, and they are living a very good life. I don't dare to live like that." An ungrateful mind."
When Mrs. Chen knelt down and kowtowed, her wrist showed a silver light.
Jia Amnesty smiled and nodded to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai dismissed Mrs. Chen and stepped back temporarily.
"What is she doing as a consul now? Do you see her often?" Jia She asked.
"I didn't arrange any important work, but let her work in the kitchen. I heard that she came from a poor background and worked in farming since she was a child. I think she should understand the work of buying vegetables, so I gave it to
It was the first time for Wang Xifeng to hear Mother Jia praise the Grand Master so bluntly.In the past, the Grand Master was appointed, and the old lady just said a few insipid words, and she always liked to pick on the Grand Master's faults in front of everyone.Now after going through this ordeal, the old lady can be regarded as clear-sighted, knowing how much harm there will be after leaving the old man.After this, it should be more cherish the result of lost and regained.
When Mother Jia saw that the children were all relieved, as if they had obtained gold and silver treasures in an instant, the feeling of depression in her heart increased again.When the crowd dispersed, Jia Mu sat alone and sighed, as if she had suddenly aged ten years.
Seeing that Jiamu was in a bad mood, Yuanyang served tea and rubbed her shoulders.
Mother Jia sighed vicissitudes of life, "After all, I haven't beaten the boss. In his eyes, I am not worth being his mother."
"But after all, we are a family, so why fight to the detriment of both sides. In fact, the old man can be regarded as a coaxable person, and the old lady will slowly get to know his temperament." Yuanyang persuaded.
Jiamu turned her head and looked at her seriously, "Tell me carefully, sometimes people can't see clearly when they are in it."
"The old man is such a person. Whoever treats him well, he will pay back. But if anyone treats him badly, is not sincere, or has other purposes, he will definitely return the same. He is indifferent and unwilling to pay attention. To put it bluntly Now, the old man is actually a person who prefers softness to toughness, and this kind of softness must be sincere and soft."
After hearing this, Jia Mu was silent for a long time.
……
Jia Amnesty reported the success of the gunpowder formula in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which greatly inspired the emperor. Even though he was unwell, he excitedly expressed that he must personally experience the power of the gunpowder.
At this time, Cai Feiping brought the memorial and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor asked Jia Amnesty to accompany him to deal with the memorial.Huang Yuande's book just happened to be assigned to Jia She, who dared not judge without authorization and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at Jia She with strange eyes, "Is it true that you were unfilial and eventually expelled from the Jia clan?"
"Filial piety and unfilial piety, I don't dare to speak falsely without authorization. You have to ask the old lady in the family to count. As for being expelled from the Jia clan, I haven't met the head of the Jia clan. I just heard it, so I'm not sure." Jia She Answered truthfully.
"Jia Enhou, it's been a few days since you came back, and you don't even know what's going on at home?"
Jia Amnesty then truthfully informed the emperor that he had moved out of Rongfu.
"I think you are really unfilial. Your mother is still here, but you moved away without authorization. You have a distracted intention." When the emperor thought that Jia She was favored by being an official, he disrespected his mother at home, and immediately had no affection for him.Wherever he is now, he is at best a power minister who has been forced to gain favor.As the emperor's father, he still respects his mother in every possible way, so Marquis Jia En has no right to be unfilial to his mother.Besides, if a man doesn't even respect the old mother who gave birth to him and raised him, how can he be loyal and trustworthy, and do his best for the country!
The emperor glared at Jia She angrily, "If what Huang Yuande said is true, don't blame me for being ruthless, and deal with you immediately."
The emperor put down the notebook with a snap, seeing that Jia Amnesty did not admit his mistake, but just lowered his eyes and remained silent, he felt even more angry.
At this time, the eunuch came to send a message, telling the emperor Song Xi to ask for an audience.
The emperor looked at Jia Amnesty angrily, and shouted impatiently, "Let him in."
After Song Xi saluted, he replied to the emperor. Now he has recovered and can resume his post.
Hearing this, the emperor softened his attitude a lot, and sighed: "You were sick a few days ago, but you made your sister worry about it, but now you are fine. It's a very good thing. Have you gone to see your sister?"
Song Xi shook his head.
The emperor then asked Song Xi to go to the Hall of Spring Harmony in a while, so that the queen could take a good look at him, and save her from having to worry about it.
Song Xi agreed lightly.
The emperor looked at Jia She again, and then looked at Song Xi meaningfully. He always felt that Song Xi's visit today was so coincidental that it was probably for Jia She's emergency.But after waiting for a while, the emperor saw that Song Xi didn't speak, but he himself was a little anxious, so he asked Song Xi's opinion directly.
Song Xi bowed slightly and said: "If Mrs. Jia really committed unfilial behavior, which made her old lady so anxious that she called the clan to remove her, Mr. Jia's crime of unfilial piety is firmly established, so why not punish her anger. It is the place where scholars all over the world strive to imitate and admire, if Mr. Jia, as the leader of Yushitai, is not good enough, why should he set an example for the people of the world, it is really inappropriate."
The emperor nodded, expressing the truth of what Song Xi said.This matter cannot be favored because of Jia She's meritorious service, and now he ignores the law and lets it go at will.
"Filial piety is the first thing to do. If you always keep benevolence and filial piety, you will not bear to do anything that cannot be done in the world. On the contrary, it is not advisable." The emperor said leisurely, and his eyes turned to Jia She.
Jia Amnesty was still standing there with his eyes half downcast, only having the intention of admitting his mistake.
The Emperor frowned angrily.
After a while, Huang Yuande was called into the hall.
Before Huang Yuande went to the palace, he already knew that the emperor summoned him this time because of Jia Amnesty's unfilial piety.As soon as the emperor asked him whether what he said was true, he immediately presented the household registration book and asked the emperor to have a look.It shows how unfilial and disrespectful Jia She is, and now he has moved out of Rongfu without authorization and set up his own family, which has already made his old mother seriously ill.At the same time, Huang Yuande also told the emperor how Jia's mother went to Dali Temple and sued Jia for being unfilial. He described it very carefully and clearly, as if he was there at that time.
After the emperor had read the household registration booklet, he placed the booklet heavily on the table, and asked Jia Amnesty sharply what explanation he had.
Jia Amnesty leaned forward slightly, and was about to admit it, but Song Xi spoke up first, asking the emperor to take a look at the household registration book.
The emperor thought that Song Xi probably didn't believe that Jia She would commit unfilial behavior, so he called Song Xi to his side and asked him to see enough and recognize Jia She's character.
Song Xi glanced at it, then raised his hand to slightly raise the book, separated the page, and examined it carefully under the light.
"What do you mean?" the emperor looked at Song Xi wonderingly.
Song Xi presented the book to the emperor again, and respectfully whispered to the emperor: "I think this booklet seems to be..."
Song Xi hesitated and said nothing.
"What does it seem?" the emperor asked anxiously.
"There are traces of modification." Song Xi pointed to the position of the page, and explained to the emperor that there is a popular method on the market today that can erase ink characters. At first glance, it is almost invisible, but if you look closely, you can find it Minor marks, such as erasing where parts of the paper appear slightly grayer than others.
After hearing this, Huang Yuande immediately argued that he had not changed. "This household registration book was asked for by the Ministry of Households, and it was presented to the Holy Majesty before it was warmed up in the hands of the minister. Besides, I don't have the guts to make fakes. Just ask the people in the Ministry of Accounts about such things. It will be clear."
"That's true. Since it is a major matter of delisting and changing nationality, it is necessary to ask the officials of the household department carefully. If there is any situation involving the delisting of the Jia family, the head of the Jia family should also be called to inquire. Over there, go to Rongfu It is most suitable for Mrs. Rong Guogong to confirm it herself. No matter how you say it, Lord Jia is an important minister in the court and in charge of a group of censors. If you really want to deal with him, the evidence should be convincing and everyone will be convinced. No one will catch the loopholes It’s good to dare to argue.”
The emperor nodded, feeling that Song Xi's words were justified, and immediately ordered someone to deal with the matter.Everything else is easy to say, as for Jia Mu, it is better to send someone to inform the Queen Mother, and order her to ask Jia Mu to confirm whether it is the most appropriate.
When Song Xi heard that the emperor wanted to summon Jia Zhen, he hurriedly expressed that Jia Zhen's qualifications were not enough, but when he entered the palace just now, he saw Jia Jing outside the palace.
The emperor recalled Jia Jing, and thought that since Jia Jing was Jia Zhen's father, it would be better to ask him than his son, and it was more convenient, so he announced Jia Jing to see him.The emperor first praised Jia Jing for his contribution to developing the gunpowder formula, and then immediately asked him about Jia Amnesty's expulsion.
Jia Jing hurriedly said that he had never heard of this matter.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that your son handled this matter secretly without telling you?"
"Returning to the emperor, I used to be a monk who practiced Taoism in Xuanzhen Temple. It was reasonable for him to take care of the affairs of the clan, but now that I have returned to vulgarity, the responsibility of the patriarch naturally returned to the minister. Without the minister's consent, he did not That ability can casually remove the members of the clan. Furthermore, I ask the emperor to forgive me. I really want to say something nice for my cousin. With his character and how he has taken care of the clan members all these years, I am the minister. Agree, those elders in the clan will not be willing." After Jia Jing finished speaking, he kowtowed to the emperor, begging the emperor to investigate clearly and return Jia's innocence.
When the emperor heard this, most of his anger dissipated. Thinking carefully about Jia She's usual behavior, he really didn't look like a person with poor conduct and filial piety.But when he questioned Jia She just now, Jia She's words were ambiguous, he dared not deny it, and he clearly meant to admit it.
Huang Yuande was a little anxious at this time, and kept explaining to the emperor that he had really investigated and confirmed the matter in the household registration book before he dared to report it.
The emperor glanced suspiciously at Huang Yuande, and then at Song Xi, Jia Jing, and Jia She. At this moment, he didn't know who to trust.Fortunately, Song Xi's proposal is correct, just wait a moment and confirm this matter with many parties, the truth will be seen immediately.
Liu Zhongliang, the servant of the household department, then met with him and handed over the relevant household registration registers of Rongguo Mansion.
"Why is there another volume?" The emperor sighed while opening it.
Liu Zhongliang looked at the emperor slightly puzzled, thought for a while, and bowed without saying a word.
The emperor carefully read the contents of the booklet, then frowned fiercely, and threw the things in his hand directly in front of Huang Yuande.
"Are you old and dizzy, how dare you frame my loyal ministers so righteously and awe-inspiringly!"
Huang Yuande was stunned, knelt down quickly, crawled to pick up the household registration book on the ground, and found that Jia She's name was indeed on the Rongfu.
Huang Yuande looked at Jia Amnesty in disbelief, "This is impossible, why is it not written in the booklet I asked for from the Ministry of Household Affairs, but also specifically stated that it has been removed?"
Liu Zhongliang looked at Huang Yuande wonderingly: "Why, my lord still has a household registration book of my household department?"
The emperor asked Liu Zhongliang to explain why he said this.
Liu Zhongliang hurriedly cupped his hands and explained to the emperor that this household registration book was only registered in one copy at the Ministry of Households, and there should not be a second copy.
The emperor glanced at the book that Huang Yuande presented earlier, judging from the cover and paper, it was indeed the same as the one from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Liu Zhongliang asked for the booklet to read carefully, and then lamented that the book Huang Yuande handed over was a bit old, and the pages were not white.Originally, I couldn't tell it by looking at it alone, but Liu Zhongliang compared this booklet with the one he held before, and the colors of the inner pages of the two books can be distinguished at a glance, one white and one yellow.
"On the contrary, a few days ago, the stall found that some of the booklets by the window had become damp and moldy, so they decided to copy them all. The book Mr. Huang took seemed to be a booklet that should have been burned after copying, but for some reason, it ended up in the Yellow River. Your Excellency's hand." After Liu Zhongliang explained, he turned and looked at Huang Yuande with disdain, and asked him how he got the booklet.
Huang Yuande yelled at being wronged, saying that when he heard about Jia Amnesty's expulsion, he immediately sent a small official to the Ministry of Households to transfer the household registration book. "This booklet was taken by the servant next to me, how could it be fake!"
Liu Zhongliang immediately asked the time, and learned that just two days ago, he asked Liu Zhongliang to ask who got the brochure from the little official, and he ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Households to fetch the booklet specially used for recording and registering foreign loans. booklet to see if it matches.
However, the final result was that the Ministry of Household Affairs did not record it, and the little official who went to get the booklet only said that after explaining the situation at the door of the Household Department, someone directly took the booklet to him.When asked to describe the person's appearance in detail, the little official couldn't tell.When they called all the people who were working in the household department at that time, and asked the little official to identify them, he didn't identify them.
While this matter was going on, Mother Jia also had a reply, saying that she did not intend to expel Jia Amnesty.
"Kechen's people clearly witnessed her going to Dali Temple to sue her eldest son, Master Jia!" Huang Yuande pointed excitedly at Jia Amnesty.
Jia She glanced at Huang Yuande, but remained silent.
When Liu Zhongliang heard this, he refused to give in, and immediately asked Huang Yuande, "Is it possible that Mr. Huang is monitoring Mr. Jia and Mr. Jia's whereabouts?"
Huang Yuande was stunned for a moment, and then immediately denied it, saying that he hadn't.But his guilty attitude has already been noticed by the emperor.
The emperor calmed down and asked the eunuch Dali Temple Qing Lin Ruhai if he had arrived.
The eunuch nodded, "I've been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the saint to call."
Lin Ruhai then went to the hall and denied what Huang Yuande pointed out about Jia's mother suing her son Jia Amnesty for being unfilial.
"The old lady went to Dali Temple to look for a minister that day. It was a private matter, and it was just a private discussion. She didn't mean to sue Mr. Jia." Lin Ruhai bowed his head slightly, and said to the emperor.
At this moment, Jia She glanced at Lin Ruhai's face from the corner of his eye, his face was calm, but his heart was pounding with huge waves.He could tell that Lin Ruhai was lying, at least the first half of the sentence was a lie.
Jia Amnesty turned to Song Xi again, wondering if it was because of him that he had pulled so many people to defend him by lying.But Liu Zhongliang's attitude just now doesn't seem like a fake.Liu Zhongliang is usually very upright, with an upright spirit, if you ask him to lie about such a person, you will definitely see through it at a glance from his demeanor, but just now Jia She didn't see anything unusual from Liu Zhongliang.
Just because of his expulsion, these people caused such a big battle in the Hall of Spring Harmony.
Jia She's heart sank, and his face sank even more.
As evidenced by the three parties, Jia Amnesty did not commit any unfilial acts.Huang Yuande became a sinner who forged the household registration book of the Ministry of Households and framed the imperial court officials.
Huang Yuande was naturally not reconciled, he looked at Jia Jing, Song Xi, and Liu Zhongliang, and suddenly realized, he quickly kowtowed to the emperor, pointed to these people and explained to the emperor that these people were colluding to intercede for Jia Amnesty.
When Liu Zhongliang heard this, he roared angrily, and scolded Huang Yuande for being unworthy of being an official. He was filthy and deceitful, and felt that everything in this world was filthy.
"It's impossible. If it wasn't for you, you and your partners plotted against me. What would I do with a fake household registration book that can be exposed at any time for no reason?" Huang Yuande asked the emperor to learn.
When the emperor heard it, he also thought it made sense.It is true that Huang Yuande is not as cautious as Jia Amnesty in doing things, and he pays attention to evidence, but he is not so stupid.
Song Xi bowed to the emperor and said: "A few days ago, Mrs. Jia did have a conflict with Mrs. Guo, and Mrs. Guo spoke angrily because of this, and sent Mrs. Jia away. Mrs. Jia also didn't want his mother to be annoyed when she saw him. It was because of filial piety that he didn't want to offend the old lady, so he moved away from the Rong Mansion. If it is said that Mr. Jia is not filial, he will naturally admit it. Besides, he is not very clear about whether he will be removed from the list, and naturally he will not deny Mr. Huang's words If I hadn't come here today, I'm afraid Mr. Huang's move would have succeeded."
The emperor frowned, feeling that there was a difference in the explanation.Song Xi hurriedly bowed his hands to the emperor, saying that this matter involved privacy, but it was inconvenient to explain in public.
The emperor thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood something when he looked at Song Xi with his own meaningful eyes.He immediately ordered the rest of the hall to retreat, while Huang Yuande stood by outside, leaving only Jia She and Song Xi in the room.
Song Xi: "To tell you the truth, the old lady of his family is arguing when she finds out about the relationship between the minister and Mr. Jia. But it's just an occasional disagreement between mother and son, and the old lady doesn't really intend to expel him. , I just couldn’t accept it for a while.”
"Then why did she go to Dali Temple to find Lin Ruhai?" the emperor continued to ask.
Song Xi hurriedly explained: "Before Mr. Jia left, she expelled Mr. Jia to live outside temporarily. Now that he came back, he didn't dare to go back to see the old lady. He was afraid that the old lady would look at him again and get angry. Who would have thought that the old lady would be angry because of this?" After thinking about it, I went to my son-in-law and said, I hope Mrs. Lin can reconcile it. There is also the matter of the succession of the Lin family. Let’s discuss it by the way. But he said that the old lady was going to see Nan’an Concubine that day, and happened to pass by Dali The temple mansion had a stomachache at that time, so I bothered Mr. Lin and said these two things by the way. Otherwise, the old lady would not be able to step into Dali Temple no matter what."
The emperor nodded, listening to Song Xi's words made sense, this matter should not be faked, and it would be confirmed immediately after asking later.At this moment, the emperor looked at Jia She, who was speechless and silent the whole time, and finally felt that he was a little wronged, so he told him a few words about emphasizing filial piety.
"The matter between you and Mu Lin is unacceptable to most people, not to mention that she is an old man, you have to coax her slowly, don't engage in such blunt tempers, and make the mother-child relationship stiff. I don't think your old lady is unreasonable. My dear, just go back and talk to her carefully, if it doesn't help you, you can mention me, and say that I also acquiesce in the relationship between the two of you." The emperor ordered.
If he had heard these words at other times, Jia She might have appreciated the emperor, but at this time, he was not in the mood. After thanking him, except for the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his entire face remained serious, without any sign of relaxation.
Huang Yuande was declared into the palace immediately, and was taught a lesson severely.Not long after, the Hall of Martial Arts got the news that the emperor had ordered someone to draw up an order to demote Huang Yuande from the Minister of Rites to a servant, and to monitor him for a period of time. If he still did not change his sloppy behavior, the emperor would simply ignore his old minister. For the sake of sympathy, let him pack up and go back to his hometown.
"It was a serious crime to fabricate false testimony to frame an official in the court, and he shouldn't have stayed. However, this guy argued that someone was plotting against him, which made the emperor half-believe, and instead kept him." Song Xi sighed.
Hearing this, Jia She looked up at Song Xi steadily, "Then do you think he was being plotted against?"
"Yes, I plotted against him, who told him to plot against you." Seeing that Jia She was in a bad mood, Song Xi hurriedly continued to explain, "The name change on the household registration book was originally fake. Fool your brother, and scare your old lady by the way. Later, I found out that he paid attention to this matter, and bribed the people around Mr. Lin in Dali Temple, so I tripped him. It’s not that I intend to harm him, but he himself Sent to the door to seek death."
"It's a good plan." Jia Amnesty said bluntly, and turned to look up at Song Xi, "No wonder you mentioned the matter of the old lady before, that's why."
"Fortunately, you listened in and relaxed your attitude, so that your old lady will not accuse you directly in front of outsiders. I also made a plan for his old man to deny you, and said that we have offended her old man , is angry." After Song Xi finished speaking, he took Jia She's hand and gently held his head on his forehead, his voice was low, but his tone was as serious as an oath, "I won't let you have trouble."
"I know that the king's heart is like mine." Jia She smiled slightly, and pressed his lips on Song Xi's forehead.He turned around and grabbed Song Xi's hand tightly. Under the shaking of the carriage, he turned his head and looked out the window. There was still a distance to go, so he talked to Song Xi, "Tell me, did you dream when you were sick and unconscious?" .”
"Yes, I have dreamed about too many things, but they are all like fleeting glances. Once I have dreamed, I forget it. Only about your dream, I will remember it very clearly. It is beautiful inside and outside the dream." Song Xi sighed.
"How did you fall off the horse? I heard that that day when I was hunting with the First Prince and the Fifteenth Prince in the autumn, I fell suddenly. The fall was severe. At that time, everyone was in a coma. Afterwards, I recovered, but I was in the garden at my house. At that time, he fell into the pool again. It sounded a little rough, and this is not like the usual you." Jia She wanted to ask these words before, but at that time, seeing Song Xi's temperament changed slightly, he waited and waited for the change. Today, I feel that Song Xi is still taking care of him as before, so Jia Shefang is relieved to discuss this matter with him in detail.
Song Xi: "You may not believe it when you say this. At that time, you felt that you were not yourself. I still can't recall the situation of falling into the water. But I haven't told anyone about it. I'm afraid of being offended. What else, after all, the tree attracts the wind."
Song Xi laughed at himself, and explained to Jia She that his previous experience was somewhat similar to Jia She's.
"That's fine, you and I are just right for each other."
Jia She laughed, it was hard to imagine that Song Xi would even consider whether he was compatible with such a thing.
"If you really want to match, your face should be a little uglier, so that you can match me better."
"Enhou, you are underestimating yourself. There is no more exquisite scenery than you in this world." Song Xi hugged Jia She, "When the world is settled, I will stay with the elder."
"I'm staying with you now. This person won't wait until now. If one wants to live in the present, how can there be so many tomorrows, and who knows what tomorrow will be like." Jia She said.
Song Xi nodded with a smile, saying that he was absolutely right, and they were living in the present.
When they arrived at Rong Mansion, Jia She said to Song Xi before getting off the car: "I have to live in Rong Mansion tonight, I can't escape, I just need to comfort Er Yatou, and I will find you tomorrow."
"I just talked about the present, but turned around and said tomorrow." Song Xi was half-playful.
Jia Amnesty smiled, and after saying goodbye to Song Xi, he returned home to meet Jia's mother first.
Mother Jia was a little happy to see Jia She finally came back, looked at Jia She and said that he was dark and thin, so she asked someone to arrange food, and told the kitchen to cook ginseng soup for Jia She every day to replenish his body.
But Jia Amnesty was not used to her enthusiasm, thanked Jia Mu respectfully, and left.
Jiamu looked at his back as he left, frowning a little depressed, and then she was a little relieved when Yuanyang persuaded her to take things slowly.Not long after, someone sent by Jia Amnesty came to deliver the imperial tribute medicine.It is said that Jia's mother is not well for a long time, and these mild new medicines may be effective.
Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Look, the Elder Master still cares about you. After all, it is a family. How can the meat that falls out of your belly not respect you."
Mother Jia nodded, "Actually, it's okay for him to take me, but when it comes to the second child, I don't know if I'm being stubborn and serious, or he just cares about it. In short, it's not good for us if it's related to the second room."
"The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the old lady should not worry too much about the second master. The second master is also old, and he has been in the officialdom for many years. He will naturally deal with his own affairs. It's good to go out for a bit of experience, he is a saint , and even sent the eldest prince to the battlefield to live and die."
Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that what Yuanyang said made sense.Now that she already knew what Jia Amnesty's bottom line was, she would naturally not mess with him in the future.I'm afraid that this child would rather die standing up than kneeling and be threatened by her, that's all, she should take it easy, otherwise she can only find her own way of death because she can't think about it.
When Jia She came to Yingchun's room, Yingchun was embroidering, and her hands were very fast. While embroidering, she ordered the maid beside her to fetch the thread, and said that she was so stupid, that she had thought about playing again before, and didn't do the important things first. Okay, let's do something else.
Suddenly heard someone say that the master is coming, Yingchun realized it after embroidering two stitches, stood up abruptly, but saw her father was already standing inside the door.She threw away the flower frame in her hand in a panic, greeted her happily, and saluted happily.
"Let's talk about it, what's the urgent matter at hand?" Jia Amnesty bent down to pick up the spring flower frame, and saw that it was embroidered with bat patterns, which was exquisite.
"I made it for Brother Mao. When my second sister-in-law was pregnant, I started sewing and prepared a set of beautiful clothes, but I made them for girls. Later, I made them for boys, but they were just a piece of cloth for holding a baby." , not very delicate. Two days ago, sister-in-law Tianwangzhu sent them better than me, so I wanted to make another set of clothes quickly to make up for it, and my blindness will be messed up." Yingchun said embarrassedly.
Jia Amnesty asked Yingchun where the girl's clothes were, and asked her to take a look.Yingchun promised to send people over.
Jia Amnesty glanced at it and said hello immediately. "Even someone like me who doesn't understand female celebrities can see at a glance that you have put a lot of effort into embroidering this dress. I think your second sister-in-law will be even happier when she sees her."
"It looks good, I think it looks good too, but I made a mistake, and I don't want to send it out. Thinking about why I was so confused at the time, I just thought that if I were a girl, I would do this by myself, and others would not do it, so I could comfort my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law." You must be happy to see it. Having a son is not the case. Some people give good things to me, so it’s not bad for me. Who knows that a son is really born, so many people give good things to the second sister-in-law. She doesn’t look at it, but just stares at it. I gave it, and it hurt me, saying that I was not dedicated to being an aunt." Although Yingchun complained like this, she said it with a smile, obviously Wang Xifeng didn't really hurt her, but was just joking with her.She also knew it, but she really wanted to express her heart, so she was so busy right now.
"Compared to your newly made clothes, I think she will be happier if you just send this set of clothes." Jia She said.
Yingchun was puzzled and asked Jia Amnesty why.
"Send it to try and you'll know, and when you come back and slowly make this set of clothes, your second sister-in-law will definitely appreciate you." Jia She concluded.
Yingchun raised her eyebrows: "Really? Dad didn't make fun of me?"
Jia Amnesty agreed.
Yingchun chose to listen to Jia Amnesty, and took the clothes to Wang Xifeng.Jia Amnesty stayed in the Yingchun room to drink tea for the time being, and there were a few maids and women staying in the room to wait on them.Jia She had nothing to do, so he asked these people what hobbies Yingchun usually has and who he often hangs out with.After getting the answers one by one, Jia She knew something about it, and he also knew a little about Yingchun's temperament changes now.
After being reminded by the woman in the room, Jia Amnesty also realized that this girl was about to be fourteen or five years old, and she should be the age to discuss marriage.But for this daughter of his, what kind of person to match him with can make him worry.Jia Amnesty searched in his mind a circle of young people from aristocratic families who he only knew about in the capital.Immediately, he asked someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the list of children who he thought were of good character on the rice paper. There were ten candidates in total.
Jia Amnesty pondered from the first one.
Not big enough, cross it out.
Mischievous, crossed out.
The family members are complex, with many sisters-in-law, crossed out.
……
The future mother-in-law seems to be difficult to get along with, so cross it out.
Jia Amnesty crossed out the ten names unconsciously, and then stared at the blank space on the second half of the page, slightly stunned.Thinking about whether there is a more suitable candidate who can fill the gap in this place.
At this time, it was rumored that Yingchun had returned.Jia Amnesty quickly rolled up the paper on the table and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Yingchun entered the door with a smile on her face, saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, hurriedly came over to ask Jia She what to write or draw.
"It's just boring, how about you?" Jia She asked.
Yingchun happily gave Jia She a thumbs up, "Father, I really didn't expect that I gave my set to Lian's second sister-in-law, and after I apologized and explained the reason to her, she laughed and cried, and then hugged me." She praised me, praised me as her good sister, who was closer than her own sister, and said that this was the best gift she had ever received, which made me feel embarrassed. But I still don't understand why she is so happy ?”
"Your sister-in-law has been married for many years and has never been able to conceive. Later, she finally became pregnant. Everyone is looking forward to her having a son. What worries do you think she has in her heart?"
Yingchun suddenly realized.
"It was your delicate thoughts that moved him." Jia She said.
Yingchun laughed happily and thanked her father for his idea.
Jia Amnesty chatted with Yingchunqian again, and gently asked her what kind of person is a good man.Yingchun thought for a while and said seriously: "Father is like this, it is best in daughter's eyes."
Jia Amnesty was startled, smiled, and bid farewell to Yingchun.When Jia Lian came to Ding Province in the evening, Jia Amnesty asked Jia Lian to send a message to Wang Xifeng, asking her to find out what kind of man Yingchun liked when she was chatting with Yingchun recently.
Jia Lian understood immediately, and asked with a smile, "Father is trying to find a marriage for the second sister?"
"Of course, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Pick the best one and put it there so that no one will snatch it away." Jia She said in a serious tone.
Jia Lian couldn't get used to hearing his father say this in a serious manner. He smiled and said that he would convey it carefully, and later he would find some famous matchmakers in the capital to search for a list of suitable children in the capital and check them one by one.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll do it."
Jia Lian hurriedly slapped herself, "Look at me, I forgot about this matter. In terms of investigators, the master is the best."
The next day, Jia Amnesty went to the neighbor's house.The black pig came to report his observation of the situation at the Ford Tea House opposite yesterday.
"The little one originally sent some beggars to guard the front and back of the Fude teahouse, but the shopkeeper was unwilling and insisted on sending them away. After that, the young one asked people to enter the teahouse in disguise to drink tea. The teahouse opened late. , the door closes early, and if you just drink tea in front, you won’t notice anything.” After the black pig finished speaking, he told Jia She, “Only one thing, someone could vaguely hear the cry of a child, because the lobby was noisy, but they couldn’t tell. He couldn’t really hear it, he wasn’t sure, and only Fushun heard it.”
"Then this man named Fushun usually has good ears?" Jia She asked.
The black pig nodded, "It's the pointed ears."
Jia Amnesty nodded, and then asked the black pig what happened to the servant in Prime Minister Wu's mansion.
"No, I just went out with the prime minister yesterday and returned home."
Jia Amnesty drank tea and left in the car.When his carriage passed by Ford Tea House, he could see the guy standing in the lobby, looking up deliberately, then immediately lowered his head, pretending to sweep the floor.
After Jia Amnesty arrived at Lin's residence, he planned to meet Lin Ruhai's distant nephew Lin Ye who had borrowed from the northwest.
"If it hadn't been mentioned in the Hall of Supreme Harmony yesterday, I wouldn't have known that I had brought him back, so I would have to give a special opinion when I visit this time." Jia She said.
"Even if you don't come, I'm going to ask you personally to take a look. This child looks good to me. Although his mother and grandmother don't read much, they are people who know the general idea. But I see You are also clear about people's eyes, and you may not be sure, so I still feel relieved when you check it out." Lin Ruhai sighed.
Jia Amnesty then asked Lin Ruhai how Lin Ye's mother and grandmother made arrangements.
"Arranged to live outside the mansion. I don't have any female relatives in my family. It's not suitable for them to live in, so I arranged them in a house not far from Lin's mansion. There are five houses, and I arranged for two servants." It is appropriate for four servant girls to serve you." Lin Ruhai said.
Jia She nodded, and Lin Ye was ushered in at this moment.
Jia She looked at the child, his body was slender, his features looked a little like those of the Lin family, and he was a little timid. When he entered the house, he was panicked when he saw him, but after Lin Ruhai's recommendation, he suddenly realized that he had met him.
Jia She asked him two common questions, and then asked him if he would like to study in the Lin Manor, Lin Ye nodded sincerely.
Jia Amnesty gave Lin Ruhai a signal, and Lin Ruhai sent Lin Ye away. After the two drank some tea, Lin Ye's mother, Mrs. Chen, came to visit her. There were seven or eight women in the house, and Mrs. Chen was like this. In the Lin family, she also has the title of a woman in charge, so it's not too embarrassing to come to see her like this.
Jia Amnesty also started to ask Mrs. Chen a few simple questions, such as how old is she, when did her husband get married, her father-in-law's name and so on.Mrs. Chen was very puzzled, but she answered them all.
Immediately, Jia Amnesty suddenly asked, "How is your life in the Lin family? You also know that the Lin family has no heirs. Have you thought about taking the property of the Lin family for yourself?"
Chen rolled her eyes, pursed the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly knelt down to say to Jia She and Lin Ruhai, "The concubine's family is already grateful for Master Lin's help, and they are living a very good life. I don't dare to live like that." An ungrateful mind."
When Mrs. Chen knelt down and kowtowed, her wrist showed a silver light.
Jia Amnesty smiled and nodded to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai dismissed Mrs. Chen and stepped back temporarily.
"What is she doing as a consul now? Do you see her often?" Jia She asked.
"I didn't arrange any important work, but let her work in the kitchen. I heard that she came from a poor background and worked in farming since she was a child. I think she should understand the work of buying vegetables, so I gave it to
