Reform from Jia She

"If it really is a warning from the heavens, how can I avoid disasters in the future if I don't remember anything now?"

Seeing Lin Ruhai's frowning expression, Jia She pondered for a moment, and said, "It is a blessing from heaven to receive a warning from the heavens. How can we demand more? Ruhai must be more careful in his actions in the future, so as to live up to the warnings from the heavens."

Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment, then smiled relievedly, "Thank you, brother, for your reminder, Ruhai is at the point of death."

"It's good if you can figure it out." Jia She said with a smile.

Although the problem is understood, since Lin Ruhai knew that there would be a disaster in the future, Lin Ruhai still had a little worry in his heart, but it was inconvenient to mention it at this time.

After another half day of trouble in the Rong Mansion, Lin Ruhai returned to the Lin Mansion with Jia Min in a happy mood.

From then on, Lin Ruhai stayed in the Lin Mansion to observe his filial piety, and never went out again, even when invited by friends, he refused to go one by one.

Time flies, the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the New Year's Eve is approaching, and everything is complicated, and Mrs. Zhang is too busy to touch the ground.

On the seventh day of the first winter month, people from the Lin family came to announce the good news that the aunt gave birth to a brother, and both mother and child were safe.

When Jia Mu heard the good news, her eyes were red.

She has two sons and one daughter, and the one who loves her the most is this smart and intelligent daughter. Lin Ruhai was chosen after many choices. Unexpectedly, the Lin family's son is so weak, and she is so tired that her beloved daughter has not been born for ten years. Regardless of the spine, I can only swallow any suffering.

Mother Jia is not without dissatisfaction with Lin Ruhai, but the world is like this, her daughter has no children, no matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't express it.

Jia Mu happily asked people to pick out many good things from her private treasury and send them to Lin's family. A lot of nourishing medicinal materials were collected from the private warehouse and sent over, just to let the old lady of the Lin family know that her daughter is not without support.

On the day of washing the third day, because Lin's mansion was still in the filial piety period, there was no major event, but Jia's mother went to Lin's mansion to see her nephew.

Lin Ruhai was delighted to get Lin'er, and it was born of his beloved wife. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided on the word "Wei" as the name.

Wei, the watch is rare and precious.

It can be seen how much Lin Ruhai values ​​this son.

Although Jia Min hadn't given birth to a child for ten years, she gave birth to a son with her first child. Even Mrs. Lin was smiling all over her face. If she didn't mention the matter to Lin Ruhaisai, she probably wouldn't mention it again in the future.

But the happy event of Jia Min giving birth to a son didn't last long, and was ruined by the bad news from Dongfu.

Just after entering the twelfth lunar month, Jia Zhen from the East Mansion came to Mrs. Li in the main courtyard for some reason. She made a lot of noise in the main courtyard, and then rushed out of the mansion. Mrs. Li sent people to search everywhere, but they didn't find anyone. return.

Three days later, Mrs. Li personally went to the suburbs of Beijing to invite back Jia Jing who practiced Taoism at Xuanzhen Temple. However, even though Jia Jing returned to the mansion, he only sent additional people to find Jia Zhen.

The East Mansion did not come to the West Mansion for help, and Jia Amnesty and the others didn't know what was going on in the mansion there, so they didn't rush to intervene.

However, no one expected that on the seventh day when Jia Zhen disappeared, the yamen servants of Shuntian Mansion brought back Jia Zhen's swollen body.

Someone found Jia Zhen's body in the moat and went to the government office to report the case. Although Jia Zhen was not very old, she was a nobleman. Although the governor of Shuntian Mansion didn't recognize him, there were always people in the government office who had seen Jia Zhen's face. Therefore, Jia Zhen's identity was quickly confirmed, and Jia Zhen's body was carried to Ningguo Mansion.

When Li saw Jia Zhen's body, she fainted.

Jia Jing's face was also livid, and he tried his best not to get angry at the servants of Shuntian Mansion, but his face really couldn't get better.

"How did my son die?"

The yamen servants in Shuntian Mansion were used to seeing life and death, and they also understood Jia Jing's pain of bereavement. The leading official had no expression on his face, "I have experienced it before, Mr. Jia died by drowning."

"Impossible!" Jia Jing said with an ugly face, "Seven days ago, my son had a conflict with someone, and when he came back, he rushed out and never came back. My son's death was not as simple as drowning. "

The officer frowned upon hearing the words, "Who did Mr. Jia have a conflict with?"

"Zhuo Chengdong, the son of Zhuo Weikang, a guest of Zhongshun Palace." Jia Jing said with an ugly face.

Although he suspected that Zhuo Chengdong had something to do with his son's death, he had no right to inquire. He could only tell the yamen servants and let them investigate.

Zhongshun Palace is not easy to mess with, but their Jia family is not so easy to mess with either.

Hearing that he had something to do with Prince Zhongshun's mansion, the official frowned even tighter. The officer behind him leaned over and said something in his ear. The official frowned and said, "I will report this matter to Mr. Fu Yin, please. Please wait, master." After saying that, he took the yamen servant and left quickly.

After the Yamen servants from Shuntian Mansion left, Jia Jing held his forehead, looking at Jia Zhen whose body was swollen, feeling sad.

He did devote himself to cultivating the Tao, but he was only in the doorway. Although he was indifferent, he still had some affection for his only son. Now that everyone is dead, Jia Jing has to ask for an explanation.

Soon the Ning Mansion put up the mourning banner, and the Zhou family, who had returned to her mother's home a few days ago, also soon got the news of her husband's death. She became pregnant at Zhou's house and almost gave birth prematurely. Fortunately, there was a resident doctor in Zhou's family, who was extremely skilled Jia, stabilized Zhou's fetus in time, even so, she couldn't move for a while, so she could only stay in Zhou's mansion temporarily.

When Jia Amnesty got the news of Jia Zhen's death, he was still dealing with government affairs at the Yamen of the Ministry of War. Hearing the sad news suddenly, he dropped his pen to the ground unsteadily.

"Why did Brother Zhen suddenly disappear? What's going on? Isn't the East Mansion always looking for it?" Jia Amnesty asked the steward who had reported the letter from the mansion, and at the same time handed over all the matters at hand to the officials below, and then Hastily followed the steward back.

On the way back, Jia Amnesty managed to figure things out.

Since Jia Zhen was suppressed and bowed her head to the Zhou Mansion, he naturally lost prestige in front of his cronies. In addition, he was detained at home by his mother and couldn't go out to "meet friends" for several months. He gradually became silent in the circle of dandies. go down.

Unfortunately, Zhuo Chengdong's aunt who was the concubine of King Zhongshun became pregnant, and Zhuo Chengdong's status rose, and within a few months, he completely stole Jia Zhen's original limelight.

Seven or eight days ago, Jia Zhen took advantage of Zhou's going to her mother's house, and secretly went to Baihualou, trying to find some fun for herself, but she didn't succeed in flattering her in the past, so she went to flatter her opponent Zhuo Chengdong. Zhuo Chengdong also mocked him as an unweaned baby with the fact that he was detained at home for several months and did not go out.

Jia Zhen's temper had been suppressed for several months, and she exploded with a poke, and got into a fight with Zhuo Chengdong on the spot, but Zhuo Chengdong has many people around him now, and Jia Zhen didn't want to suffer, so she rushed back to the mansion with anger , quarreled in front of Mrs. Li, slammed the door and left.

There was no news of Jia Zhen for several days. Unexpectedly, when there was news, it was Jia Zhen's death.

Like Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty also felt that it was related to Zhuo Chengdong.

Zhuo Chengdong's father, Zhuo Weikang, had Yan Weiting's hand broken just by a little quarrel, cutting off his imperial examination path. Later, because Yan Weiting wanted to sue, he directly killed him.

Even when Lvxiu was sold into slavery, Jia She felt that it had something to do with Zhuo Weikang.

What kind of good thing can a son raised by such a narrow-minded villain be?

When Jia Amnesty arrived at Ning Mansion, the mourning hall in Ning Mansion had been set up, and Jia Zheng and the other branches of the Jia family were all in Ning Mansion.

Seeing Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng stepped forward, "Brother, aren't you in the yamen? Why are you here?"

"After such a big incident, where do I still have the mind to be a director? Of course I have to come and see, how is the situation now?"

Jia Zheng sighed, "Yin Gang of Shuntian Mansion sent an officer to send all the servants who went out with Brother Zhen and witnessed the conflict between Brother Zhen and Mr. Zhuo's family for questioning. It seems that they want to investigate to the end. of."

"Even if Brother Zhen is bad in every way, he is still the heir of our Jia family's head line. If he really drowned and died, if someone secretly murdered him, I will never let it go!" Jia She said with a frosty face.

It's just that he is the son of a loyal and obedient disciple of the palace, but he is so rampant!

When Jia Zheng heard this, he frowned, "I've heard about it before, and this matter seems to have something to do with Prince Zhongshun's residence."

The implication is that if you want to pursue it, you are afraid that you will offend the Zhongshun Palace.

Jia She said coldly, "You treat me as your eldest brother, the title of Duke Rong, did you buy it with silver?"

Seeing Jia Amnesty with a fierce look on his face, Jia Zheng was a little overwhelmed.

Regardless of whether Jia She left Beijing or returned to Beijing, what Jia Zheng saw was the gentle side of his elder brother. He had never seen Jia She with such a face before, and he couldn't help being greatly shocked.

Although Jia She only said this sentence, Jia Zheng understood what Jia She meant.

Jia Amnesty's title was earned by himself based on his military exploits. The blood of the foreign races in the north has not been completely dried up yet. Even the emperor's relatives would give Jia Amnesty some face, let alone an idle prince who failed to seize the heir apparent?

In short, Jia Amnesty is not afraid of the power of Prince Zhongshun, because in terms of his power, King Zhongshun doesn't even dare to provoke him.

"I understand what big brother means, but King Zhongshun is a royal family after all, so he should be more cautious." Jia Zheng said.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "I understand what you mean, but second brother, you still don't understand the seriousness of the problem now. Brother Zhen is the only heir to the head of our Jia family. If he was killed by someone, would you have thought about it?" What's the problem behind this?"

Hearing these words, Jia Zheng was startled, his eyes widened, "Brother, what do you mean, there are behind-the-scenes instructions for Brother Zhen's death?"

"King Zhongshun is indeed a royal relative, but Zhuo Weikang is just a guest of the palace, and Zhuo Chengdong is just the son of a guest. In terms of his status, he is not worthy to carry shoes for Brother Zhen. How dare he provoke Brother Zhen? My brother had a conflict with him, and disappeared for seven or eight days for no reason, and when he was found, he was already a corpse, with suspicious points everywhere!"

The relationship between him and the emperor is still in the friendly stage, the emperor will not attack his Jia family inexplicably, even if he wants to attack, it should be Rongfu, not Ningfu.

There should be someone else who would take action against the Ning Mansion.

But Jia Amnesty really couldn't imagine who the Ning Mansion had offended, and brought Jia Zhen's death.
