The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 28 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Song Xi didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately agreed, "But I can't help you in vain."
"Tell me."
Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi probingly, wanting to hear what conditions he would propose.If it's too cost-effective, he doesn't need his help, and Jia Amnesty will find a way to solve it by himself.
"Duanyang Festival will be in two days, you will celebrate it with me." When it comes to Duanyang Festival, Song Xi could have said a few words, but then remembered that Jia She had warned him to be simple when talking to him. So I simplified it to this straightforward sentence.
"Duanyang Festival." Jia Amnesty reacted a little, only to know that he was talking about the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Yes," Song Xi stared nervously at Jia She, waiting for his answer.
Jia Amnesty didn't answer right away, he frowned, and looked at Song Xi curiously.He really doesn't understand what's so good about this festival. Eating rice dumplings is enough, just like eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival and glutinous rice balls on Lantern Festival. Even if it's a festival, how can we spend it?
But Jia She knew that since Song Xi had brought up this matter on purpose, it was obviously not about eating zongzi.Then I thought about it, and asked cautiously.
"What are you going to do?"
"How can I live, of course it's 'holding the Ai flag in hand to recruit Baifu, and hanging a cattail sword to slay thousands of evils'." Song Xi replied smoothly.
Jia She glared at him.
Song Xi coughed and said hastily, "It's just drinking realgar wine, hanging calamus, planting banyan trees, wearing sachets, climbing high... That's all, I don't need to go into details, I will take you with me on that day."
"Your Song family is really a big family, so particular about it." Jia She said with emotion.
Song Xi laughed, "Stop pretending to be poor here, when I don't know how grand your Rong Mansion's New Year's Day is?"
"That's right." Jia Amnesty nodded, his eyeballs looked away, and he drank his tea, and he almost gave up just now.
Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty for a while, without saying anything in advance, and said to the business, "After you leave here in a while, take more people with you, then go directly out of Beijing by car and go south, and turn in when you see the first small road. Then just go in the direction of the forest."
Jia Amnesty knew that this was Song Xi's "reason" for arranging the face-to-face meeting, and after asking carefully what had happened, he asked again for confirmation: "Do you have anything to add?"
"Just adapt to the situation, just don't slip up and reveal your secrets." Song Xi smiled, and told Jia Amnesty not to worry, everything has already been arranged.
Jia Amnesty nodded, and according to Song Xi's words, called a lot of servants, took two cars in total, and followed behind his own car.Although the whole matter is a fraud, it is related to the dignity of the royal family. After all, being summoned by the emperor and being appointed an official is not a child's play. It must not be discovered by others. When the emperor is humiliated, they will not be able to end it. .So apart from him, Song Xi, the emperor, and the fifteen princes he arranged to rescue, no one else knew about the whole matter.All the servants, guards, etc. involved in the incident are concealed, without exception.
After Jia Amnesty and the others left the city, they got off the main road, and followed what Song Xi said, and headed for the forest ahead.The woods are very dense, with thorns and weeds overgrown inside, and it is quiet except for a few birdsong.
"Help!" A child's scream pierced the tranquility of the mountains.
Jia She knew that "something" was coming, because this was the first time he met the fifteenth prince, he didn't want to give others a bad impression of negligence, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain to urge the coachman to hurry up.
After the carriage turned a corner, in the middle of the road not far ahead stood a boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in a white shirt and blue robe, dressed like an ordinary young master, with his back straight.He was followed by only two domestic servants, who calmly raised his round face and stared at the bandits without moving.
This should be the fifteenth prince.
Jia Amnesty turned to look at the bandits.There were originally only nine people on the road, but now they may have seen his carriage coming, and eight people came out from the bushes on both sides of the road.The bandit leader had a fierce appearance, and he was brandishing an ax to threaten the fifteenth prince to hand over all his valuables.
The fifteenth prince Mu Ruiguo glanced at the bandit leader calmly and said, "No!"
"Today, I see you as a child, so I decided to show mercy. If you are not obedient, don't blame me for being rude, and kill the three of you with an axe."
Jia Amnesty hurriedly got out of the car, and protected the fifteenth prince behind him, telling those gangsters not to do anything.The people in the carriage behind hurried down, copied the guy and confronted the gangsters.
Originally, Jia She thought that these bandits were all arranged by Song Xi.I was ordered to put on a show, but now that I see him bringing people here, I should take advantage of the situation and run away.Unexpectedly, not only did the bandit leader have no intention of retreating, but instead he led his subordinates to hold up the weapons in their hands and stare at them fiercely.
At this time, Jia Amnesty found that the bandit leader's nose was rising, and there were obvious grooves on both sides of the nose. This is not pretending, this is a real angry expression.
The bandits' eyes were fixed on their necks, and occasionally they would scan their waists to check how much money they carried.
It seems that these people are really asking for money and killing people.
Jia She turned to look at the fifteenth prince, Mu Ruiguo, and the kid was also looking at him, with a smile in his eyes, a bit playful.Jia She immediately understood what was going on.
In any case, it is no longer a child's play now, once the safety of the [-]th Prince goes wrong, not to mention that he has to bear the responsibility, the innocent lives of the whole family of Rongguo Mansion will probably be accounted for accordingly.
Jia Amnesty became vigilant and hurriedly asked Hei Zhu to wait for the fifteen princes to get into the car.
The boys who followed Jia Amnesty were confronting the bandits. There were 20 people in total. Although they were three more than the bandits, they were all holding sticks. Compared with sharp weapons, it must suffer.What's more, these bandits are all strong and strong, and they should have some boxing skills, while Jia Amnesty's men are just ordinary housekeepers and guards.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you if you have more people! If you don't leave the money, you will never leave."
"Stay, we stay, but you must remember not to hurt anyone." Jia Amnesty said immediately.
Whether it is the master or the servant, Jia She doesn't want anyone to die because of this.Money is an external thing, you can earn it again when you lose it, but life is priceless.Besides, as long as they survive this moment, there will be rescuers to deal with these real gangsters.
Jia Amnesty hurriedly took off his money and jade pendant, and asked Zhu Mao to hand over all the money he had brought.
The bandit leader laughed loudly, pointing at the fifteenth prince: "And the thing that is hanging on the child's waist, I see it is so bright, it must be valuable."
Jia Amnesty turned his head and glanced at the jade pendant worn by the fifteenth prince.
Mu Ruiguo immediately looked at Jia Amnesty vigilantly, and said firmly, "This is what you can do? I won't give it!"
Jia Amnesty pointed to the back, "Look, officers and soldiers are coming!"
As expected, Mu Ruiguo was distracted and looked back. Jia She pulled off the jade pendant from Muruiguo's body, and then gave Hei Zhu a wink, telling him to take the fifteenth prince and his entourage into the carriage.
The black pig immediately hugged the fifteenth prince and hid in the car.Mu Ruiguo was not reconciled, kicked his legs in the direction of Jia She and yelled fiercely, "Presumptuous, you know that I am—a bastard, you dare to steal my things! Give me back my jade pendant, I won't let you give it to him, You give me back..."
Jia Amnesty didn't care what Mu Ruiguo yelled, he held up the things in his hand and said to the bandit leader: "I can give you the things, but if we agree, you will spare us our lives."
The bandit leader was obviously unmoved and was about to speak.Jia Amnesty loosened the mouth of the money bag with his fingers, and then shouted, "I'm here for you!"
After he finished speaking, he threw the money bag and jade pendant in his hand into the thorn bushes by the side of the road, and the silver in the money bag scattered and rolled into the grass.Seeing this, the bandits rushed to pick up money.Jia Amnesty turned around and jumped into the car.At this moment, Heizhu and the others had already turned the carriage around, grabbed Jia Amnesty, and immediately drove back.
Jia Amnesty turned his head and saw that the gangsters behind him did not catch up, so he felt relieved, then he lifted the curtain and looked in, and saw the fifteenth prince sitting in the center with an angry face, and his two attendants squatting at his feet, one by one. The face looked overly frightened.
"You—" Muruiguo stared at Jia She fiercely, he had a lot to say, but with so many attendants in the car, he couldn't speak nonsense right now.
But Mu Ruiguo didn't intend to spare Jia She, he widened his eyes and pointed at the tip of Jia She's nose angrily. "Bastard, how dare you throw my jade pendant to those gangsters without authorization. Do you know who gave me that jade pendant? If it breaks, I can't spare you!"
Jia Amnesty smiled, stretched out his head, opened his fists, and saw a crystal clear jade pendant with the word "Fu" intact in his palm.Just now, Jia She noticed that the fifteenth prince cared about this thing, so before throwing it to the gangsters, he had quietly wrapped the other end of the jade pendant around his finger.The moment he threw it out, he pulled back the fifteenth prince's jade pendant.
"Just now I was in a hurry, how presumptuous, this little brother, please don't take offense." Jia Amnesty also pretended not to know Mu Rui's identity.
Mu Rui snatched back the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hands, then regained his composure and looked at Jia She with sharp eyes. "If you are wise, I will spare you."
Jia She gave Mu Ruiguo a slight nod, then lowered the curtain, and sat in front of the car with the black pig.Fortunately, there was no danger, but he didn't understand, since those bandits were real, why did Song Xi let the fifteenth prince risk himself.After all, as the fifteenth prince, he couldn't afford such a big joke.
The two attendants around Muruiguo had been petrified for a long time, and now they came to their senses, weeping in fear, calling Muruiguo "Young Master", and then started nagging him non-stop that he was impulsive, it was not safe to do so Almost implicated them in death or something like that.
Not long after the group left the woods, Jia Amnesty heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then saw billows of dust and smoke coming towards them from the road ahead.
More than a hundred guards came to greet him.
Mu Ruiguo straightened his back, got out of the carriage, pointed out the direction of the bandits in a dignified manner, and then named Jia Amnesty, saying that he saved him.
At this time, Song Xi wandered over with a team of people.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help but glared at him, what was he arranging for!
Mu Ruiguo immediately saw Jia She's accusation, he waved his hand, dismissed the followers around him, then tilted his head and said to Jia She: "Everything is my idea, it has nothing to do with my uncle. He told me When I talked about it, I agreed immediately, but I will arrange the robbery myself, my little uncle doesn't know that there are bandits here."
It turned out that this little His Royal Highness was too arrogant and indulgent, that's why he took such a risk.Jia Amnesty was speechless.But after all, he is an eight-year-old child, so what can he care about.
"Why, you're not happy anymore? Look at you, you're afraid of being like that. It's so boring to be fake, but it's really fun. I'm doing you a favor, so why can't I just play by myself? I agreed in advance. , you can’t tell little uncle about this. I’ll do you a favor, and you can do me a favor.” Mu Rui saw that Jia She had a cold face and didn’t respond, so he glared at him and said, “You don’t even know how much thought I’ve put into it. , At first I was worried that the bandits would not come out, but fortunately I was lucky today."
"What if there are no bandits?" Jia She asked.
"Then I can only let the group of people arranged by my little uncle go. It's so boring to play a fake show with you." Murui shrugged, and then deliberately tapped his belt, making a loud noise. Echo, "You don't have to worry about my safety. I actually know martial arts. It's no problem to deal with a few bandits. I also thought that if you are ashamed and can't save me, I will save you."
Jia She smiled wryly, this Fifteenth Highness is really capricious and unruly, today he is considered unlucky, but fortunately his "reason" to save the prince finally succeeded amid the twists and turns.
"Little uncle." When Mu Rui saw Song Xi get off his horse, he rushed over cheerfully.
Song Xi patted Murui Guo on the head, and asked him if everything was okay, Mu Ruiguo smiled and nodded.Song Xi turned to look at Jia Amnesty, and seeing that he looked unhappy instead, he came over and asked if there was any accident.
"It's nothing, it's just bandits. Fortunately, what's this called—Jia Enhou's rescue. I must report this matter to my father when I go back, and ask him to praise my savior." Mu Rui rushed over to Song Xixi He laughed and turned to wink at Jia She.
Jia Amnesty had no choice but to give thanks.
"Since that's the case, you should go back to the palace earlier so that your mother won't be worried." Song Xi sent someone to escort Mu Rui to go first.Mu Rui was reluctant, and after torturing Song Xi for a while to no avail, Fang left in a car unhappily.
Later, guards came to report that the bandits were all wiped out, and all of them were left alive.
Song Xi went to inspect and found that there were two groups of people. One group was holding sticks, which were the unwitting fake mountain bandits he had secretly arranged; Black blood stains can be seen in the crevices of the bandits, and Song Xi only knew that they were real bandits.He turned to look at Jia She.Jia Amnesty said that it was just a coincidence that he encountered bandits.
Song Xi stared at Jia She for a while, then said nothing.
The two immediately went to the capital, and Jia Amnesty bid farewell to Song Xi.
Song Xi held him back and did not let Jia She get out of the car immediately.
"That child is willful, but he has never done anything outrageous. Today's incident is indeed unexpected. I will apologize to you first, and I will ask him to apologize to you in person in another day. "
Jia Amnesty: "It's hard for you to say that. He is the prince, and he came here to help me. It's just a temporary accident. It's nothing. Moreover, he can really take the opportunity to wipe out a group of bandits. It's a good thing." .”
Song Xi looked at Jia She, said nothing more, slowly let go of his hand, watched Jia She get off the car, and finally disappeared behind the gate of Rongfu.After a while, he ordered the coachman to drive away.
Just after Jia Amnesty passed the Eryi Gate, before he could go to the Rongxi Hall, a woman told Jia Zheng to wait in the Rongxi Hall.
After Jia Amnesty entered Rongxi Hall, he immediately asked Jia Zheng, "What else do you need?"
Jia Zheng stood up, pointed to a pair of bottles on the table and said, "Brother, what do you think of these pair of jade bottles?"
"If you don't care about anything, it's either adultery or robbery. You have to say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush." Jia She said with a straight face.
Jia Zheng: "This morning I slipped my tongue and mentioned Wang Ziteng to my mother. It was my fault. Now that I have produced this pair of bottles, I will accompany my eldest brother to the Wang family to confess his mistake. He is my brother-in-law after all. We have always had a good relationship. He will definitely give me a little bit of trouble, as long as I can mediate, big brother can rest assured that he will not make things difficult for you."
Let him make amends to Prince Teng again.These people are blind by choice. It is obvious that Wang Ziteng troubled him first, and he should make amends, but it was the other way around.
How can Jia Amnesty not be bothered.He wanted to scold Jia Zheng at first, but then he thought about Jia's mother. If he really said something bad about Jia Zheng, Madam Wang would probably turn around and design an excuse to make Jia His mother was angry with him.
Why bother, if you tell the truth, you will be scolded, sent to the government and enforced family law.
Isn't it just playing tricks, who wouldn't.
"It's because of your heart, I'm tired right now, let's wait for tomorrow." Jia She said.
"But tomorrow my younger brother will be on duty in the Yamen, so I don't have time to accompany my elder brother." Jia Zheng hesitated.
"Since this is my business, why do you bother." Jia Amnesty didn't promise him to go, and didn't say no, he just sighed.
Hearing Jia She's words were so polite and considerate, Jia Zheng decided that he had agreed to go and received his favor, so he smiled happily, "That's okay, I'll enlarge the bottle here .”
"No need, take it back," Jia She said.
"No, no, this is what I want, brother, you don't have to be polite." Jia Zheng smiled, then sat down next to Jia She, and said to him in a discussing tone, "Brother, can I ask my brother for a little favor?" .”
Jia She looked at him with hooked lips and a smile, "Say it."
"Eldest brother and Master Song can talk after all, after all, he came to Rong Mansion specially to see elder brother, and gave him royal bird's nest and other things."
Jia Amnesty nodded, he wanted to see what Jia Zheng wanted to ask of him.
"Two days ago, Mr. Song severely reprimanded Wang Heshun, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, because of the reconstruction of the palace. I was wondering if I could ask you to say something so that Mr. Song can spare Wang Shilang." Jia Zheng tentatively finished speaking, and then carefully observed Jia Amnesty's expression.
Jia Amnesty smiled, "What am I doing, you should hurry back and rest."
Jia Zheng thought that Jia Amnesty had agreed to him, and was very happy, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he asked Jia Amnesty to go to bed early in a very polite and caring manner.
Jia Amnesty pursed his lips and nodded, of course he would take a good rest to recuperate.
Jia Zheng really went happily.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help sneering, but this way of handling it now would save a lot of trouble.If you tell him the truth with good intentions, I am afraid that if you want to reason with him again, it will definitely make him not even have a good dinner.
Jia Amnesty passed on the dinner, and when the meal was over, Hei Zhu reported the news about the Wang family.
"Those girls were all taken from the hands of the kidnappers. Some girls were kidnapped when they were young, and they were raised until they were twelve or thirteen years old before being sold. The kidnappers can call them whatever they want, I don't know. What is your background? Generally, when girls like this come to the capital, they are either sold to that kind of unclean place, or they are picked by a big family like the Wang family. They have no household registration and no serious status, so they just quietly dead, as long as the body is not seen, who will know."
Jia Amnesty: "I told you to send someone to watch over the Wang family. Has anything changed recently?"
"No." The black pig continued, "But the boy got news today and urged him to send someone to the Wang family earlier. The spies in the Wang family's mansion also said that the two girls who stayed in Wang Shengjingyuan last month I haven't seen anyone in the past two days. I asked his wife in the yard, and he said that the servants were not quick, and they were sent to the Zhuangzi like the girls before. But our people have been guarding the door day and night these days. , It has always been how many people came back, and I didn't see any maids from the Wang family leaving and never came back."
Jia Amnesty asked the black pig again: "Then is there any big thing smuggled out?"
The black pig shook his head.
That's weird.
Now that the Wang family is urging Yazi to make up people, it must be because of the lack of talents.But where did people go?Even if you die, the body will not disappear out of thin air.
Jia Amnesty frowned and thought for a while, then took a pen and wrote down in the booklet: "The people suddenly disappeared, but they have not been seen leaving the house, nor have their bodies been transported out."
……
Early in the morning of the second day, someone knocked on the door of Rong Mansion.
The guard at the gate saw that he was like an old nanny, with a solemn face, and he did not show any flattery when he saw anyone, he just said: "By the order of the empress, I will send your eldest girl back."
The little servant nodded instinctively, and was taken aback for a moment before he realized who the so-called eldest girl was.Terrified, he hurried to report to Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Wang.
After Wang Xifeng got the news, she was the first to entertain the nuns and wanted to serve tea and invite them to sit down.Unexpectedly, the nuns didn't say anything else, they just said that the person had been delivered, and they hurried back to the palace to return to their orders, and left after talking.
Wang Xifeng turned around and saw the maid holding the piano and helping her girl enter the door.Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was still dreaming, until she heard Yuan Chun's cry, she regained her strength, quickly introduced herself, and then helped her to go to Jiamu's room.
Jia's mother also got the news, and at this moment she was relieved to take everyone out of the hospital, and the two sides met like this.
When Yuan Chun saw Jia Mu, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Mother Jia burst into tears, and hurriedly supported Yuan Chun to get up, holding Yuan Chun's arm tightly with one hand, "My dear girl, after all these years, I finally see you once."
Mrs. Wang rushed over in a hurry and saw with her own eyes that the person in Jia Mu's arms was really Yuan Chun, and then she felt like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.The incident happened so suddenly, when the servants reported back just now, she really thought that those people were bluffing her.
"Mother!" Yuan Chun glanced at Mrs. Wang with tears in his eyes, seeing that she was still in shock, he knew what his mother was thinking, bowed his head guiltily and apologized to her.
Mrs. Wang just started to cry, grabbed Yuan Chun's hand, and asked her why she suddenly came out of the palace, and what mistake she made.
Jia's mother was also worried about this, and asked Yuan Chun what was going on.
Wang Xifeng said: "No matter what it is, now that the person is back, let's talk in the room first, there is no place to talk outside."
Then everyone sat down in Jia Mu's flower hall.
Yuan Chun then recounted how she was given the gift of leaving the palace by the empress: "Yesterday, the fifteenth prince was playful, and after coaxing his uncle to take him out of the palace, he ran outside Beijing by himself, but he didn't want to meet the seventeenth prince halfway He is a famous mountain bandit, but he only brought two followers with him. Seeing that he was almost killed, at the critical moment, he heard that a passing master rescued the fifteen princes. It was finally safe and sound. The empress therefore Thanksgiving, she called me that night and asked me to transcribe the night scriptures for her to honor the Buddha. The empress also had some free time, and sat beside me for a while, sighing and chatting with me. She asked me to enter the palace How many years, who is there in the family. I answered them one by one. The empress also talked about her entry into the palace and the death of the crown prince. She was quite sentimental. I advised the empress a few words, and the empress praised me She is a good girl, and she asked me if I wanted to go home, and if I would regret entering the palace later."
"Then you just tell her that you regret it?" Mrs. Wang stared at Yuan Chun, her voice trembled a little when she spoke, which showed that she was really excited.
Yuan Chun shook his head, "How dare I say I regret it, I didn't say that, but I thought about family, wouldn't it show that I don't want family affection if I don't say I want to? There is nothing wrong with my words, but I don't understand, today Why did the empress ask someone to send me out of the palace so early in the morning?"
After Yuanchun finished speaking, he got into Jiamu's arms and sobbed.
Mother Jia repeatedly patted her on the back, trying to persuade her not to be sad, "It's good to be back now, but two days ago your mother said that she regretted sending you to that place, so that we would not have the chance to see you for many years."
"But—" Yuan Chun cried pitifully, turned to look at Mrs. Wang, and knelt down for Mrs. Wang again.
In front of Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang couldn't say anything about her, so she hurriedly helped her up, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried together.Mrs. Wang also sighed: "My poor little girl is suffering."
"I heard that big sister is back, but is it true? Am I dreaming?" Baoyu happily entered the door, and seeing Yuan Chun, she couldn't help but rushed towards her, and asked many thoughtful words.
Then there were several girls, such as Daiyu and Yingchun, who met one by one.
"It's good now, the eldest sister is back, and there is one more sister in the family, so we will be more lively." Baoyu said happily.
Yuan Chun nodded, she looked enviously at Yingchun and other younger sisters, with a quiet smile on her face.
Jia's mother couldn't be happy when she heard Baoyu's words. She and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, then forced a smile and sent someone to take Yuanchun back to the room to rest.
"We haven't touched your house since you left, and we can live in it after a while. You can go to your grandmother's room to rest at this moment." Mrs. Wang said.
Yuan Chun smiled and said: "Why bother the old ancestor, I will go to my mother's place."
Madam Wang's complexion changed when she heard this, and she immediately remembered the pain of moving away from Rongxi Hall.
Yuan Chun was puzzled, and looked at everyone, all of them looked unclear.Only then did she realize that she had said something wrong, that this property was different from before, and that there had been any changes.So he kept silent, and according to Mrs. Wang's arrangement, he went to rest in Jiamu's room first.Baoyu made a fuss and went with her.
Daiyu and others were immediately sent away by Jiamu.
"What do you think of this?" Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang with a serious expression on her face.
Mrs. Wang shook her head feebly.From the moment she saw Yuan Chun, her heart felt as if a big stone had fallen, and her chest was stuffy and uncomfortable.In the past seven or eight years, she has paid a lot of money to Yuan Chun. Seeing that the nobleman in the palace said that it was about to come to fruition, he suddenly came back at this moment.It's as if a duck that I worked so hard to raise and cooked to the point of my mouth suddenly flew away.At this moment, Mrs. Wang is not only angry, but also angry.
"Listening to what Eldest Sister said just now, I don't think she did anything wrong. Empress Xu Zhen was sentimental for a moment, and she regarded her as herself back then, so she impulsively let her out of the palace." Wang Xifeng saw Mrs. Wang and Jia Mother is not too happy, busy reconciliation.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Wang Xifeng, who had been married for three years, actually called her Eldest Sister Yuan Chun, and thinking of Yuan Chun's current age, her heart felt as if a knife had been gouged several times, causing her to bleed in pain.
Mother Jia also realized this problem, sighed, and couldn't say anything more, but told Mrs. Wang not to get angry again, and to plan everything from the long-term.
Jia Amnesty never came, and only sent someone to ask if he needed any help, and the reply he got was naturally no, which was exactly what he wanted.
I heard the news from the people below that Mrs. Wang has returned to her hospital.Jia Amnesty wanted to immediately send the accountant to ask her for 1 taels of silver, but instead thought it was better not to be caught by her, so she called Jia Lian and his wife.
When Jia Lian and his wife heard this, Jia Amnesty asked them to ask Mrs. Wang for the 1 taels of silver that had not been sent to the palace. They were very embarrassed.
While observing Jia She'er's expression, Wang Xifeng said cautiously: "Eldest sister just came back from the palace, the second wife—"
Before Wang Xifeng could finish speaking, Jia Amnesty immediately cut off the conversation and said: "You are right, since the big girl has come back, the 1 taels that the accountant gave her yesterday must not be needed, and she will naturally return it. Where is this?" It all makes sense, why don't I say it? By the way, you can take some money later, and set up a few tables for the eldest girl. The whole family should take care of her. Remember to find the best troupe in the capital and sing well. Once you sing, money is not a problem, I will pay for it.”
Wang Xifeng bowed his head sullenly and agreed.Of course, the money is not a problem. No matter how much you eat, no matter how good the theater troupe is, it will not exceed 200 taels at most.Compared with the 1 taels of silver, this little money is nothing.
Jia Lian also felt a little embarrassed, frowned and remained silent.
Jia She glanced at them, and understood that both husband and wife love to save their own houses, one is strong and the other is lustful, and they have also secretly competed with each other.
Jia She immediately came up with a solution, "I know it's embarrassing for you two. But if you still want to take care of this family, you should ask for the money back. In this way, if either of you has the ability to ask for the money back, I will take it back." It’s up to you to reward whoever you want with 2000 taels of silver. It’s agreed to only give it to one person, and it’s up to the other person to use it for private use, and the other person is not allowed to be jealous.”
When Jia Lian heard this, his eyes lit up and his heart moved.
Wang Xifeng curled the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes were twice as bright as Jia Lian's.Wang Xifeng understood her aunt's temper best, so she naturally had a way to get money before Jia Lian.
Seeing that their husband and wife were fighting for each other, Jia Amnesty agreed and was finally satisfied.This time it's not just a matter of asking for money. The two of them go to play tricks to ask Mrs. Wang for money at this time. With Mrs. Wang's character, she doesn't say anything, and she will definitely hold grudges in her heart. Naturally, she will fight with Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian There was a gap.This is the effect Jia She wants most.He wants to strengthen the big house, bring back his son and daughter-in-law, and they will be unanimous in the future.
Jia Amnesty then sent them down to wait for the good news.
At noon, Jia Zhengfang hurried back from the Ministry of Industry.He left early this morning, and was going to have a good talk with Wang Shilang, but unexpectedly such a big incident happened at home.
After Jia Zheng met Jia's mother, he asked about Yuan Chun's situation, and when he learned that she was really sent out of the palace by grace, he felt a bolt from the blue.Erfang's greatest hope is gone!
Jia Zheng suddenly thought of something, and said to Jia Mu: "Brother, he has some contacts with Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song's eldest sister is the empress, could it be one of them..."
When Jia's mother heard this, she trembled and called for Jia Amnesty.
After hearing Jiamu's questioning, Jia Amnesty didn't want to lie, but he couldn't answer either.Why should he care about these people.How shameless they are, yesterday they persecuted him with black and white, but today they still expect him to answer their questions sincerely.
Jia She couldn't help sneering in his heart, and also chuckled lightly on his face: "Why do you think that I have the ability to control the empress's thoughts? Did you say I'm an asshole yesterday, but today you think so highly of me. I don't even know whether I am capable or not." Promising, or not promising."
Jia's mother glanced at Jia She's unbeatable look, frowned and thought about it, this guy really didn't have much ability.He, Jia Amnesty, is the number one bastard, so how could he attract Song Xi's favor and take good care of him?It is also even more impossible to bother his queen sister because he is such an unimportant old dude.
Jia Zheng thought about it, no one in the Manchu dynasty knew about civil and military affairs, Song Xi only liked to associate with intelligent and exceptionally talented people, even Shangshu and Taibao might not be able to catch his eyes sometimes, Jia Amnesty was nothing.
"I'm worrying too much," Jia Zheng quickly denied, "Mother, it seems that this matter can only be caused by the Empress's whim."
"Since I don't have anything to do, I'll leave first." Jia She said goodbye immediately.
Unexpectedly, at this time, someone came to report: "There is another person in the palace. It is a young eunuch who came first to deliver a message. He said that our house should prepare the incense table and other things first, and the big eunuch will come to announce the decree in a while."
"Why are you here again?" Mother Jia was startled, and turned to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng in doubt, "Decree? What decree?"
Mrs. Wang had been sitting all the time, but because of Yuan Chun's problem, she felt ashamed all the time, so she kept silent.At this moment, she suddenly heard that someone was coming from the palace, and immediately stood up excitedly. She first looked at Jia Zheng, and then at Jia Mu.
Seeing that these people were puzzled, Mrs. Wang already understood in her heart.The corners of her mouth turned upwards, and she gradually became smug, and said to Jia Mu excitedly: "Mother, will the queen take a fancy to our big girl's filial piety and talent, and she will be extra gracious? She will go home first, and then seal her something." Else go back to the palace?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she rolled her eyes, and a look of joy appeared on her face, "Yes, yes, yes, that's the only possibility. Just now I heard the big girl tell the empress's words, and I feel that the empress is right. She's very concerned. Yes, that's why."
Jia Zheng also became happy, "But there is one thing I don't understand. Since the queen intends to promote her, why should she go home?"
"You really don't understand. The women in the palace will inevitably fight and be divided into different departments. If the queen really likes our eldest girl, she will definitely want to draw her to her side. She heard that the eldest girl said she was homesick, so she Tell her to go home, let the big girl be grateful to her first, and then gather her as a trusted person by your side."
"Ah, it turned out to be a way to win people's hearts. It was my mother who was wise and immediately thought about the pros and cons, but my son was stupid." Jia Zheng bowed his hands to his mother and complimented him happily.
Mother Jia laughed from ear to ear, and no longer doubted this matter, she hurriedly told Jia Zheng to go and prepare to receive the imperial edict.
Jia She was about to open his mouth, but now after hearing what they said, he really didn't want to say that the edict was for him.
"Tell me."
Jia Amnesty looked at Song Xi probingly, wanting to hear what conditions he would propose.If it's too cost-effective, he doesn't need his help, and Jia Amnesty will find a way to solve it by himself.
"Duanyang Festival will be in two days, you will celebrate it with me." When it comes to Duanyang Festival, Song Xi could have said a few words, but then remembered that Jia She had warned him to be simple when talking to him. So I simplified it to this straightforward sentence.
"Duanyang Festival." Jia Amnesty reacted a little, only to know that he was talking about the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Yes," Song Xi stared nervously at Jia She, waiting for his answer.
Jia Amnesty didn't answer right away, he frowned, and looked at Song Xi curiously.He really doesn't understand what's so good about this festival. Eating rice dumplings is enough, just like eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival and glutinous rice balls on Lantern Festival. Even if it's a festival, how can we spend it?
But Jia She knew that since Song Xi had brought up this matter on purpose, it was obviously not about eating zongzi.Then I thought about it, and asked cautiously.
"What are you going to do?"
"How can I live, of course it's 'holding the Ai flag in hand to recruit Baifu, and hanging a cattail sword to slay thousands of evils'." Song Xi replied smoothly.
Jia She glared at him.
Song Xi coughed and said hastily, "It's just drinking realgar wine, hanging calamus, planting banyan trees, wearing sachets, climbing high... That's all, I don't need to go into details, I will take you with me on that day."
"Your Song family is really a big family, so particular about it." Jia She said with emotion.
Song Xi laughed, "Stop pretending to be poor here, when I don't know how grand your Rong Mansion's New Year's Day is?"
"That's right." Jia Amnesty nodded, his eyeballs looked away, and he drank his tea, and he almost gave up just now.
Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty for a while, without saying anything in advance, and said to the business, "After you leave here in a while, take more people with you, then go directly out of Beijing by car and go south, and turn in when you see the first small road. Then just go in the direction of the forest."
Jia Amnesty knew that this was Song Xi's "reason" for arranging the face-to-face meeting, and after asking carefully what had happened, he asked again for confirmation: "Do you have anything to add?"
"Just adapt to the situation, just don't slip up and reveal your secrets." Song Xi smiled, and told Jia Amnesty not to worry, everything has already been arranged.
Jia Amnesty nodded, and according to Song Xi's words, called a lot of servants, took two cars in total, and followed behind his own car.Although the whole matter is a fraud, it is related to the dignity of the royal family. After all, being summoned by the emperor and being appointed an official is not a child's play. It must not be discovered by others. When the emperor is humiliated, they will not be able to end it. .So apart from him, Song Xi, the emperor, and the fifteen princes he arranged to rescue, no one else knew about the whole matter.All the servants, guards, etc. involved in the incident are concealed, without exception.
After Jia Amnesty and the others left the city, they got off the main road, and followed what Song Xi said, and headed for the forest ahead.The woods are very dense, with thorns and weeds overgrown inside, and it is quiet except for a few birdsong.
"Help!" A child's scream pierced the tranquility of the mountains.
Jia She knew that "something" was coming, because this was the first time he met the fifteenth prince, he didn't want to give others a bad impression of negligence, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain to urge the coachman to hurry up.
After the carriage turned a corner, in the middle of the road not far ahead stood a boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in a white shirt and blue robe, dressed like an ordinary young master, with his back straight.He was followed by only two domestic servants, who calmly raised his round face and stared at the bandits without moving.
This should be the fifteenth prince.
Jia Amnesty turned to look at the bandits.There were originally only nine people on the road, but now they may have seen his carriage coming, and eight people came out from the bushes on both sides of the road.The bandit leader had a fierce appearance, and he was brandishing an ax to threaten the fifteenth prince to hand over all his valuables.
The fifteenth prince Mu Ruiguo glanced at the bandit leader calmly and said, "No!"
"Today, I see you as a child, so I decided to show mercy. If you are not obedient, don't blame me for being rude, and kill the three of you with an axe."
Jia Amnesty hurriedly got out of the car, and protected the fifteenth prince behind him, telling those gangsters not to do anything.The people in the carriage behind hurried down, copied the guy and confronted the gangsters.
Originally, Jia She thought that these bandits were all arranged by Song Xi.I was ordered to put on a show, but now that I see him bringing people here, I should take advantage of the situation and run away.Unexpectedly, not only did the bandit leader have no intention of retreating, but instead he led his subordinates to hold up the weapons in their hands and stare at them fiercely.
At this time, Jia Amnesty found that the bandit leader's nose was rising, and there were obvious grooves on both sides of the nose. This is not pretending, this is a real angry expression.
The bandits' eyes were fixed on their necks, and occasionally they would scan their waists to check how much money they carried.
It seems that these people are really asking for money and killing people.
Jia She turned to look at the fifteenth prince, Mu Ruiguo, and the kid was also looking at him, with a smile in his eyes, a bit playful.Jia She immediately understood what was going on.
In any case, it is no longer a child's play now, once the safety of the [-]th Prince goes wrong, not to mention that he has to bear the responsibility, the innocent lives of the whole family of Rongguo Mansion will probably be accounted for accordingly.
Jia Amnesty became vigilant and hurriedly asked Hei Zhu to wait for the fifteen princes to get into the car.
The boys who followed Jia Amnesty were confronting the bandits. There were 20 people in total. Although they were three more than the bandits, they were all holding sticks. Compared with sharp weapons, it must suffer.What's more, these bandits are all strong and strong, and they should have some boxing skills, while Jia Amnesty's men are just ordinary housekeepers and guards.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you if you have more people! If you don't leave the money, you will never leave."
"Stay, we stay, but you must remember not to hurt anyone." Jia Amnesty said immediately.
Whether it is the master or the servant, Jia She doesn't want anyone to die because of this.Money is an external thing, you can earn it again when you lose it, but life is priceless.Besides, as long as they survive this moment, there will be rescuers to deal with these real gangsters.
Jia Amnesty hurriedly took off his money and jade pendant, and asked Zhu Mao to hand over all the money he had brought.
The bandit leader laughed loudly, pointing at the fifteenth prince: "And the thing that is hanging on the child's waist, I see it is so bright, it must be valuable."
Jia Amnesty turned his head and glanced at the jade pendant worn by the fifteenth prince.
Mu Ruiguo immediately looked at Jia Amnesty vigilantly, and said firmly, "This is what you can do? I won't give it!"
Jia Amnesty pointed to the back, "Look, officers and soldiers are coming!"
As expected, Mu Ruiguo was distracted and looked back. Jia She pulled off the jade pendant from Muruiguo's body, and then gave Hei Zhu a wink, telling him to take the fifteenth prince and his entourage into the carriage.
The black pig immediately hugged the fifteenth prince and hid in the car.Mu Ruiguo was not reconciled, kicked his legs in the direction of Jia She and yelled fiercely, "Presumptuous, you know that I am—a bastard, you dare to steal my things! Give me back my jade pendant, I won't let you give it to him, You give me back..."
Jia Amnesty didn't care what Mu Ruiguo yelled, he held up the things in his hand and said to the bandit leader: "I can give you the things, but if we agree, you will spare us our lives."
The bandit leader was obviously unmoved and was about to speak.Jia Amnesty loosened the mouth of the money bag with his fingers, and then shouted, "I'm here for you!"
After he finished speaking, he threw the money bag and jade pendant in his hand into the thorn bushes by the side of the road, and the silver in the money bag scattered and rolled into the grass.Seeing this, the bandits rushed to pick up money.Jia Amnesty turned around and jumped into the car.At this moment, Heizhu and the others had already turned the carriage around, grabbed Jia Amnesty, and immediately drove back.
Jia Amnesty turned his head and saw that the gangsters behind him did not catch up, so he felt relieved, then he lifted the curtain and looked in, and saw the fifteenth prince sitting in the center with an angry face, and his two attendants squatting at his feet, one by one. The face looked overly frightened.
"You—" Muruiguo stared at Jia She fiercely, he had a lot to say, but with so many attendants in the car, he couldn't speak nonsense right now.
But Mu Ruiguo didn't intend to spare Jia She, he widened his eyes and pointed at the tip of Jia She's nose angrily. "Bastard, how dare you throw my jade pendant to those gangsters without authorization. Do you know who gave me that jade pendant? If it breaks, I can't spare you!"
Jia Amnesty smiled, stretched out his head, opened his fists, and saw a crystal clear jade pendant with the word "Fu" intact in his palm.Just now, Jia She noticed that the fifteenth prince cared about this thing, so before throwing it to the gangsters, he had quietly wrapped the other end of the jade pendant around his finger.The moment he threw it out, he pulled back the fifteenth prince's jade pendant.
"Just now I was in a hurry, how presumptuous, this little brother, please don't take offense." Jia Amnesty also pretended not to know Mu Rui's identity.
Mu Rui snatched back the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hands, then regained his composure and looked at Jia She with sharp eyes. "If you are wise, I will spare you."
Jia She gave Mu Ruiguo a slight nod, then lowered the curtain, and sat in front of the car with the black pig.Fortunately, there was no danger, but he didn't understand, since those bandits were real, why did Song Xi let the fifteenth prince risk himself.After all, as the fifteenth prince, he couldn't afford such a big joke.
The two attendants around Muruiguo had been petrified for a long time, and now they came to their senses, weeping in fear, calling Muruiguo "Young Master", and then started nagging him non-stop that he was impulsive, it was not safe to do so Almost implicated them in death or something like that.
Not long after the group left the woods, Jia Amnesty heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then saw billows of dust and smoke coming towards them from the road ahead.
More than a hundred guards came to greet him.
Mu Ruiguo straightened his back, got out of the carriage, pointed out the direction of the bandits in a dignified manner, and then named Jia Amnesty, saying that he saved him.
At this time, Song Xi wandered over with a team of people.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help but glared at him, what was he arranging for!
Mu Ruiguo immediately saw Jia She's accusation, he waved his hand, dismissed the followers around him, then tilted his head and said to Jia She: "Everything is my idea, it has nothing to do with my uncle. He told me When I talked about it, I agreed immediately, but I will arrange the robbery myself, my little uncle doesn't know that there are bandits here."
It turned out that this little His Royal Highness was too arrogant and indulgent, that's why he took such a risk.Jia Amnesty was speechless.But after all, he is an eight-year-old child, so what can he care about.
"Why, you're not happy anymore? Look at you, you're afraid of being like that. It's so boring to be fake, but it's really fun. I'm doing you a favor, so why can't I just play by myself? I agreed in advance. , you can’t tell little uncle about this. I’ll do you a favor, and you can do me a favor.” Mu Rui saw that Jia She had a cold face and didn’t respond, so he glared at him and said, “You don’t even know how much thought I’ve put into it. , At first I was worried that the bandits would not come out, but fortunately I was lucky today."
"What if there are no bandits?" Jia She asked.
"Then I can only let the group of people arranged by my little uncle go. It's so boring to play a fake show with you." Murui shrugged, and then deliberately tapped his belt, making a loud noise. Echo, "You don't have to worry about my safety. I actually know martial arts. It's no problem to deal with a few bandits. I also thought that if you are ashamed and can't save me, I will save you."
Jia She smiled wryly, this Fifteenth Highness is really capricious and unruly, today he is considered unlucky, but fortunately his "reason" to save the prince finally succeeded amid the twists and turns.
"Little uncle." When Mu Rui saw Song Xi get off his horse, he rushed over cheerfully.
Song Xi patted Murui Guo on the head, and asked him if everything was okay, Mu Ruiguo smiled and nodded.Song Xi turned to look at Jia Amnesty, and seeing that he looked unhappy instead, he came over and asked if there was any accident.
"It's nothing, it's just bandits. Fortunately, what's this called—Jia Enhou's rescue. I must report this matter to my father when I go back, and ask him to praise my savior." Mu Rui rushed over to Song Xixi He laughed and turned to wink at Jia She.
Jia Amnesty had no choice but to give thanks.
"Since that's the case, you should go back to the palace earlier so that your mother won't be worried." Song Xi sent someone to escort Mu Rui to go first.Mu Rui was reluctant, and after torturing Song Xi for a while to no avail, Fang left in a car unhappily.
Later, guards came to report that the bandits were all wiped out, and all of them were left alive.
Song Xi went to inspect and found that there were two groups of people. One group was holding sticks, which were the unwitting fake mountain bandits he had secretly arranged; Black blood stains can be seen in the crevices of the bandits, and Song Xi only knew that they were real bandits.He turned to look at Jia She.Jia Amnesty said that it was just a coincidence that he encountered bandits.
Song Xi stared at Jia She for a while, then said nothing.
The two immediately went to the capital, and Jia Amnesty bid farewell to Song Xi.
Song Xi held him back and did not let Jia She get out of the car immediately.
"That child is willful, but he has never done anything outrageous. Today's incident is indeed unexpected. I will apologize to you first, and I will ask him to apologize to you in person in another day. "
Jia Amnesty: "It's hard for you to say that. He is the prince, and he came here to help me. It's just a temporary accident. It's nothing. Moreover, he can really take the opportunity to wipe out a group of bandits. It's a good thing." .”
Song Xi looked at Jia She, said nothing more, slowly let go of his hand, watched Jia She get off the car, and finally disappeared behind the gate of Rongfu.After a while, he ordered the coachman to drive away.
Just after Jia Amnesty passed the Eryi Gate, before he could go to the Rongxi Hall, a woman told Jia Zheng to wait in the Rongxi Hall.
After Jia Amnesty entered Rongxi Hall, he immediately asked Jia Zheng, "What else do you need?"
Jia Zheng stood up, pointed to a pair of bottles on the table and said, "Brother, what do you think of these pair of jade bottles?"
"If you don't care about anything, it's either adultery or robbery. You have to say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush." Jia She said with a straight face.
Jia Zheng: "This morning I slipped my tongue and mentioned Wang Ziteng to my mother. It was my fault. Now that I have produced this pair of bottles, I will accompany my eldest brother to the Wang family to confess his mistake. He is my brother-in-law after all. We have always had a good relationship. He will definitely give me a little bit of trouble, as long as I can mediate, big brother can rest assured that he will not make things difficult for you."
Let him make amends to Prince Teng again.These people are blind by choice. It is obvious that Wang Ziteng troubled him first, and he should make amends, but it was the other way around.
How can Jia Amnesty not be bothered.He wanted to scold Jia Zheng at first, but then he thought about Jia's mother. If he really said something bad about Jia Zheng, Madam Wang would probably turn around and design an excuse to make Jia His mother was angry with him.
Why bother, if you tell the truth, you will be scolded, sent to the government and enforced family law.
Isn't it just playing tricks, who wouldn't.
"It's because of your heart, I'm tired right now, let's wait for tomorrow." Jia She said.
"But tomorrow my younger brother will be on duty in the Yamen, so I don't have time to accompany my elder brother." Jia Zheng hesitated.
"Since this is my business, why do you bother." Jia Amnesty didn't promise him to go, and didn't say no, he just sighed.
Hearing Jia She's words were so polite and considerate, Jia Zheng decided that he had agreed to go and received his favor, so he smiled happily, "That's okay, I'll enlarge the bottle here .”
"No need, take it back," Jia She said.
"No, no, this is what I want, brother, you don't have to be polite." Jia Zheng smiled, then sat down next to Jia She, and said to him in a discussing tone, "Brother, can I ask my brother for a little favor?" .”
Jia She looked at him with hooked lips and a smile, "Say it."
"Eldest brother and Master Song can talk after all, after all, he came to Rong Mansion specially to see elder brother, and gave him royal bird's nest and other things."
Jia Amnesty nodded, he wanted to see what Jia Zheng wanted to ask of him.
"Two days ago, Mr. Song severely reprimanded Wang Heshun, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, because of the reconstruction of the palace. I was wondering if I could ask you to say something so that Mr. Song can spare Wang Shilang." Jia Zheng tentatively finished speaking, and then carefully observed Jia Amnesty's expression.
Jia Amnesty smiled, "What am I doing, you should hurry back and rest."
Jia Zheng thought that Jia Amnesty had agreed to him, and was very happy, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he asked Jia Amnesty to go to bed early in a very polite and caring manner.
Jia Amnesty pursed his lips and nodded, of course he would take a good rest to recuperate.
Jia Zheng really went happily.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help sneering, but this way of handling it now would save a lot of trouble.If you tell him the truth with good intentions, I am afraid that if you want to reason with him again, it will definitely make him not even have a good dinner.
Jia Amnesty passed on the dinner, and when the meal was over, Hei Zhu reported the news about the Wang family.
"Those girls were all taken from the hands of the kidnappers. Some girls were kidnapped when they were young, and they were raised until they were twelve or thirteen years old before being sold. The kidnappers can call them whatever they want, I don't know. What is your background? Generally, when girls like this come to the capital, they are either sold to that kind of unclean place, or they are picked by a big family like the Wang family. They have no household registration and no serious status, so they just quietly dead, as long as the body is not seen, who will know."
Jia Amnesty: "I told you to send someone to watch over the Wang family. Has anything changed recently?"
"No." The black pig continued, "But the boy got news today and urged him to send someone to the Wang family earlier. The spies in the Wang family's mansion also said that the two girls who stayed in Wang Shengjingyuan last month I haven't seen anyone in the past two days. I asked his wife in the yard, and he said that the servants were not quick, and they were sent to the Zhuangzi like the girls before. But our people have been guarding the door day and night these days. , It has always been how many people came back, and I didn't see any maids from the Wang family leaving and never came back."
Jia Amnesty asked the black pig again: "Then is there any big thing smuggled out?"
The black pig shook his head.
That's weird.
Now that the Wang family is urging Yazi to make up people, it must be because of the lack of talents.But where did people go?Even if you die, the body will not disappear out of thin air.
Jia Amnesty frowned and thought for a while, then took a pen and wrote down in the booklet: "The people suddenly disappeared, but they have not been seen leaving the house, nor have their bodies been transported out."
……
Early in the morning of the second day, someone knocked on the door of Rong Mansion.
The guard at the gate saw that he was like an old nanny, with a solemn face, and he did not show any flattery when he saw anyone, he just said: "By the order of the empress, I will send your eldest girl back."
The little servant nodded instinctively, and was taken aback for a moment before he realized who the so-called eldest girl was.Terrified, he hurried to report to Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Wang.
After Wang Xifeng got the news, she was the first to entertain the nuns and wanted to serve tea and invite them to sit down.Unexpectedly, the nuns didn't say anything else, they just said that the person had been delivered, and they hurried back to the palace to return to their orders, and left after talking.
Wang Xifeng turned around and saw the maid holding the piano and helping her girl enter the door.Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was still dreaming, until she heard Yuan Chun's cry, she regained her strength, quickly introduced herself, and then helped her to go to Jiamu's room.
Jia's mother also got the news, and at this moment she was relieved to take everyone out of the hospital, and the two sides met like this.
When Yuan Chun saw Jia Mu, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Mother Jia burst into tears, and hurriedly supported Yuan Chun to get up, holding Yuan Chun's arm tightly with one hand, "My dear girl, after all these years, I finally see you once."
Mrs. Wang rushed over in a hurry and saw with her own eyes that the person in Jia Mu's arms was really Yuan Chun, and then she felt like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.The incident happened so suddenly, when the servants reported back just now, she really thought that those people were bluffing her.
"Mother!" Yuan Chun glanced at Mrs. Wang with tears in his eyes, seeing that she was still in shock, he knew what his mother was thinking, bowed his head guiltily and apologized to her.
Mrs. Wang just started to cry, grabbed Yuan Chun's hand, and asked her why she suddenly came out of the palace, and what mistake she made.
Jia's mother was also worried about this, and asked Yuan Chun what was going on.
Wang Xifeng said: "No matter what it is, now that the person is back, let's talk in the room first, there is no place to talk outside."
Then everyone sat down in Jia Mu's flower hall.
Yuan Chun then recounted how she was given the gift of leaving the palace by the empress: "Yesterday, the fifteenth prince was playful, and after coaxing his uncle to take him out of the palace, he ran outside Beijing by himself, but he didn't want to meet the seventeenth prince halfway He is a famous mountain bandit, but he only brought two followers with him. Seeing that he was almost killed, at the critical moment, he heard that a passing master rescued the fifteen princes. It was finally safe and sound. The empress therefore Thanksgiving, she called me that night and asked me to transcribe the night scriptures for her to honor the Buddha. The empress also had some free time, and sat beside me for a while, sighing and chatting with me. She asked me to enter the palace How many years, who is there in the family. I answered them one by one. The empress also talked about her entry into the palace and the death of the crown prince. She was quite sentimental. I advised the empress a few words, and the empress praised me She is a good girl, and she asked me if I wanted to go home, and if I would regret entering the palace later."
"Then you just tell her that you regret it?" Mrs. Wang stared at Yuan Chun, her voice trembled a little when she spoke, which showed that she was really excited.
Yuan Chun shook his head, "How dare I say I regret it, I didn't say that, but I thought about family, wouldn't it show that I don't want family affection if I don't say I want to? There is nothing wrong with my words, but I don't understand, today Why did the empress ask someone to send me out of the palace so early in the morning?"
After Yuanchun finished speaking, he got into Jiamu's arms and sobbed.
Mother Jia repeatedly patted her on the back, trying to persuade her not to be sad, "It's good to be back now, but two days ago your mother said that she regretted sending you to that place, so that we would not have the chance to see you for many years."
"But—" Yuan Chun cried pitifully, turned to look at Mrs. Wang, and knelt down for Mrs. Wang again.
In front of Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang couldn't say anything about her, so she hurriedly helped her up, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried together.Mrs. Wang also sighed: "My poor little girl is suffering."
"I heard that big sister is back, but is it true? Am I dreaming?" Baoyu happily entered the door, and seeing Yuan Chun, she couldn't help but rushed towards her, and asked many thoughtful words.
Then there were several girls, such as Daiyu and Yingchun, who met one by one.
"It's good now, the eldest sister is back, and there is one more sister in the family, so we will be more lively." Baoyu said happily.
Yuan Chun nodded, she looked enviously at Yingchun and other younger sisters, with a quiet smile on her face.
Jia's mother couldn't be happy when she heard Baoyu's words. She and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, then forced a smile and sent someone to take Yuanchun back to the room to rest.
"We haven't touched your house since you left, and we can live in it after a while. You can go to your grandmother's room to rest at this moment." Mrs. Wang said.
Yuan Chun smiled and said: "Why bother the old ancestor, I will go to my mother's place."
Madam Wang's complexion changed when she heard this, and she immediately remembered the pain of moving away from Rongxi Hall.
Yuan Chun was puzzled, and looked at everyone, all of them looked unclear.Only then did she realize that she had said something wrong, that this property was different from before, and that there had been any changes.So he kept silent, and according to Mrs. Wang's arrangement, he went to rest in Jiamu's room first.Baoyu made a fuss and went with her.
Daiyu and others were immediately sent away by Jiamu.
"What do you think of this?" Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang with a serious expression on her face.
Mrs. Wang shook her head feebly.From the moment she saw Yuan Chun, her heart felt as if a big stone had fallen, and her chest was stuffy and uncomfortable.In the past seven or eight years, she has paid a lot of money to Yuan Chun. Seeing that the nobleman in the palace said that it was about to come to fruition, he suddenly came back at this moment.It's as if a duck that I worked so hard to raise and cooked to the point of my mouth suddenly flew away.At this moment, Mrs. Wang is not only angry, but also angry.
"Listening to what Eldest Sister said just now, I don't think she did anything wrong. Empress Xu Zhen was sentimental for a moment, and she regarded her as herself back then, so she impulsively let her out of the palace." Wang Xifeng saw Mrs. Wang and Jia Mother is not too happy, busy reconciliation.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Wang Xifeng, who had been married for three years, actually called her Eldest Sister Yuan Chun, and thinking of Yuan Chun's current age, her heart felt as if a knife had been gouged several times, causing her to bleed in pain.
Mother Jia also realized this problem, sighed, and couldn't say anything more, but told Mrs. Wang not to get angry again, and to plan everything from the long-term.
Jia Amnesty never came, and only sent someone to ask if he needed any help, and the reply he got was naturally no, which was exactly what he wanted.
I heard the news from the people below that Mrs. Wang has returned to her hospital.Jia Amnesty wanted to immediately send the accountant to ask her for 1 taels of silver, but instead thought it was better not to be caught by her, so she called Jia Lian and his wife.
When Jia Lian and his wife heard this, Jia Amnesty asked them to ask Mrs. Wang for the 1 taels of silver that had not been sent to the palace. They were very embarrassed.
While observing Jia She'er's expression, Wang Xifeng said cautiously: "Eldest sister just came back from the palace, the second wife—"
Before Wang Xifeng could finish speaking, Jia Amnesty immediately cut off the conversation and said: "You are right, since the big girl has come back, the 1 taels that the accountant gave her yesterday must not be needed, and she will naturally return it. Where is this?" It all makes sense, why don't I say it? By the way, you can take some money later, and set up a few tables for the eldest girl. The whole family should take care of her. Remember to find the best troupe in the capital and sing well. Once you sing, money is not a problem, I will pay for it.”
Wang Xifeng bowed his head sullenly and agreed.Of course, the money is not a problem. No matter how much you eat, no matter how good the theater troupe is, it will not exceed 200 taels at most.Compared with the 1 taels of silver, this little money is nothing.
Jia Lian also felt a little embarrassed, frowned and remained silent.
Jia She glanced at them, and understood that both husband and wife love to save their own houses, one is strong and the other is lustful, and they have also secretly competed with each other.
Jia She immediately came up with a solution, "I know it's embarrassing for you two. But if you still want to take care of this family, you should ask for the money back. In this way, if either of you has the ability to ask for the money back, I will take it back." It’s up to you to reward whoever you want with 2000 taels of silver. It’s agreed to only give it to one person, and it’s up to the other person to use it for private use, and the other person is not allowed to be jealous.”
When Jia Lian heard this, his eyes lit up and his heart moved.
Wang Xifeng curled the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes were twice as bright as Jia Lian's.Wang Xifeng understood her aunt's temper best, so she naturally had a way to get money before Jia Lian.
Seeing that their husband and wife were fighting for each other, Jia Amnesty agreed and was finally satisfied.This time it's not just a matter of asking for money. The two of them go to play tricks to ask Mrs. Wang for money at this time. With Mrs. Wang's character, she doesn't say anything, and she will definitely hold grudges in her heart. Naturally, she will fight with Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian There was a gap.This is the effect Jia She wants most.He wants to strengthen the big house, bring back his son and daughter-in-law, and they will be unanimous in the future.
Jia Amnesty then sent them down to wait for the good news.
At noon, Jia Zhengfang hurried back from the Ministry of Industry.He left early this morning, and was going to have a good talk with Wang Shilang, but unexpectedly such a big incident happened at home.
After Jia Zheng met Jia's mother, he asked about Yuan Chun's situation, and when he learned that she was really sent out of the palace by grace, he felt a bolt from the blue.Erfang's greatest hope is gone!
Jia Zheng suddenly thought of something, and said to Jia Mu: "Brother, he has some contacts with Mrs. Song, and Mrs. Song's eldest sister is the empress, could it be one of them..."
When Jia's mother heard this, she trembled and called for Jia Amnesty.
After hearing Jiamu's questioning, Jia Amnesty didn't want to lie, but he couldn't answer either.Why should he care about these people.How shameless they are, yesterday they persecuted him with black and white, but today they still expect him to answer their questions sincerely.
Jia She couldn't help sneering in his heart, and also chuckled lightly on his face: "Why do you think that I have the ability to control the empress's thoughts? Did you say I'm an asshole yesterday, but today you think so highly of me. I don't even know whether I am capable or not." Promising, or not promising."
Jia's mother glanced at Jia She's unbeatable look, frowned and thought about it, this guy really didn't have much ability.He, Jia Amnesty, is the number one bastard, so how could he attract Song Xi's favor and take good care of him?It is also even more impossible to bother his queen sister because he is such an unimportant old dude.
Jia Zheng thought about it, no one in the Manchu dynasty knew about civil and military affairs, Song Xi only liked to associate with intelligent and exceptionally talented people, even Shangshu and Taibao might not be able to catch his eyes sometimes, Jia Amnesty was nothing.
"I'm worrying too much," Jia Zheng quickly denied, "Mother, it seems that this matter can only be caused by the Empress's whim."
"Since I don't have anything to do, I'll leave first." Jia She said goodbye immediately.
Unexpectedly, at this time, someone came to report: "There is another person in the palace. It is a young eunuch who came first to deliver a message. He said that our house should prepare the incense table and other things first, and the big eunuch will come to announce the decree in a while."
"Why are you here again?" Mother Jia was startled, and turned to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng in doubt, "Decree? What decree?"
Mrs. Wang had been sitting all the time, but because of Yuan Chun's problem, she felt ashamed all the time, so she kept silent.At this moment, she suddenly heard that someone was coming from the palace, and immediately stood up excitedly. She first looked at Jia Zheng, and then at Jia Mu.
Seeing that these people were puzzled, Mrs. Wang already understood in her heart.The corners of her mouth turned upwards, and she gradually became smug, and said to Jia Mu excitedly: "Mother, will the queen take a fancy to our big girl's filial piety and talent, and she will be extra gracious? She will go home first, and then seal her something." Else go back to the palace?"
When Jia Mu heard this, she rolled her eyes, and a look of joy appeared on her face, "Yes, yes, yes, that's the only possibility. Just now I heard the big girl tell the empress's words, and I feel that the empress is right. She's very concerned. Yes, that's why."
Jia Zheng also became happy, "But there is one thing I don't understand. Since the queen intends to promote her, why should she go home?"
"You really don't understand. The women in the palace will inevitably fight and be divided into different departments. If the queen really likes our eldest girl, she will definitely want to draw her to her side. She heard that the eldest girl said she was homesick, so she Tell her to go home, let the big girl be grateful to her first, and then gather her as a trusted person by your side."
"Ah, it turned out to be a way to win people's hearts. It was my mother who was wise and immediately thought about the pros and cons, but my son was stupid." Jia Zheng bowed his hands to his mother and complimented him happily.
Mother Jia laughed from ear to ear, and no longer doubted this matter, she hurriedly told Jia Zheng to go and prepare to receive the imperial edict.
Jia She was about to open his mouth, but now after hearing what they said, he really didn't want to say that the edict was for him.
