The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Chapter 209 Chaos in the Capital City

Seeing Jia Min take Lin Daiyu away with a lot of worries, Mrs. Jia showed a mysterious smile on her face. Although she was still ill and recuperated in bed, everyone could see that her old man was in a better mood than before Many, and even let Jia Baoyu read to her to relieve her boredom.

Although everyone in the Jia family didn't know what happened, but as long as Mrs. Jia was happy, the small piece of the Jia family's sky would be sunny, and the family's servants and master would all regain their former vitality.

Ningguo Mansion, in the small courtyard where Jia Jing lived, he was over half a hundred years old, wearing a silk Taoist robe, and was doing Tai Chi slowly. A servant quickly understood everything that happened in Rongguo Mansion. After narrating it once, even the secret conversation between Mrs. Jia and Jia Min in the room was clearly explained. Except for their whispers, everything else was repeated verbatim.

Jia Jing acted as if he didn't hear these things, and he didn't have any anxiety or fear of being discovered. He still practiced his Tai Chi slowly, and after half an hour, he finally called it a day.

Afterwards, he took the towel handed over by the servant, wiped off the little sweat, sat on the wicker chair again, took a sip of tea leisurely, and then opened his mouth with a chuckle.

"My aunt is still the same as before. When there is an advantage, she rushes faster than anyone else, but when there is a problem, she immediately turns her face and denies anyone! I want to keep a hand in everything, so that I can shirk responsibility in the future. It's a pity that there is no good thing in this world that you can get without paying!

Even in many cases, no matter how much you pay, you may get nothing.She will tell Jia Min, not Jia She and Jia Zheng, or even her two daughters-in-law, I am not surprised at all.After all, instead of asking Jia Zheng's wife to tell Concubine De that she was telling the emperor, it would be tantamount to tying the Duke of Rongguo to the emperor's boat. This is not the choice she would make! "

"Master, since you know Mrs. Jia will tell the truth, why did you tell her everything!" Jia Jing's subordinates asked suspiciously.

"Everything? Hahahaha... Do you think what I told her is everything?" Jia Jing smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you really think that the emperor doesn't know anything, and didn't notice anything strange about us?"

"Ah? The emperor found out? This is impossible. Our people have always kept a low profile and never personally intervened in everything. How could the emperor's people find out? Could it be that there is a traitor among us?" Thinking of this result , The person who spoke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don't be nervous. Although I'm not sure how much the emperor knows about us, I can still judge that our people should be reliable. Otherwise, the emperor would not have invited me into the palace to cry. I'm afraid that Situ Meng came directly to arrest people! You know, in those seven days, many eyes in the capital disappeared for no reason!"

Jia Jing said, took another sip of tea slowly, looked at the startled subordinates, frowned, and said: "You too, you have followed me for decades, why are you still not calm when encountering things? Not good!"

"Subordinates must change, must change!" The man wiped his sweat and continued: "Master, what should we do next? Or, let's live in another place, this old lady Jia has betrayed us, If you continue to live in the Ningguo Mansion, the emperor might send someone to arrest him at some point!"

"Hehe, why are you so anxious! In the eyes of my good aunt, I am at best a military adviser who has no power to restrain a chicken and can only make suggestions. Those who really want to do such treasonous things must be from a family with military power in their hands." Aristocrats, or royal nobles!" Jia Jing said meaningfully: "You said, after the emperor heard such news, would he put an unknown person like me on the first defense or arrest list? "

"That's definitely not it! High, it's really high! Master, you just threw out a little bit of irrelevant news, and completely diverted their attention. This trick is really amazing! The subordinates admire it , Admire!" The servant praised again and again.

"The good show is about to begin! All the forces are ready, let's wait and see! You get our people ready, and you must be completely dormant during this period, and don't make any noise. Wait for my master's final call!" Jia Jing ordered calmly.

"Don't worry, master, everything is going smoothly according to your plan!"

Jia Min was full of secrets, and walked back to the Lin family with heavy steps. He was in a trance for a while, unable to digest all that Mrs. Jia said, and his mind was even more chaotic, like a mess. It's like a paste.

"Mother, mother, we're home!" Lin Daiyu saw that Jia Min was completely distracted, and she didn't respond after calling out a few times. She couldn't help feeling worried, especially when she thought of the news she had just heard from Jia Baoyu and Tanchun. , couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief in his hand, pulled Jia Min's arm hard, and shouted loudly: "Mom, we're home!"

"Ah? What?" Jia Min finally came to his senses, looking at Lin Daiyu with a confused look on his face.

"Mother, we're home! No matter what, let's go home and talk slowly!" Lin Daiyu pulled Jia Min out of the carriage, and walked quickly towards the study, while waving away all the servants.

"Mother, has something serious happened to Rongguo's mansion?" Lin Daiyu asked straight to the point.

"Ah? What did you say?" At this moment, Jia Min still hasn't recovered completely, and his reaction is still a little slow.

"I've heard from Baoyu and the others that after Mrs. Jia Jing from Ningguo's mansion visited, Mrs. Jia suddenly fell ill and asked you to go back to visit by name. Something serious has happened, so serious that we need to ask our Lin family for help!" Lin Daiyu said, staring at her mother without blinking.

"This..." Jia Min originally didn't want to tell Lin Daiyu, but seeing her at the moment, she hesitated. After all, she knows Lin Daiyu's intelligence best. Right now, Lin Tian and Lin Ruhai are not in the capital, and the only one who can There was no one else to discuss except Lin Daiyu. Jia Min hesitated again and again, and told Lin Daiyu exactly what Mrs. Jia told her before. At the same time, she also wanted to hear her opinion.

"Mother, I think this matter is strange!" After hearing this, Lin Daiyu's face sank immediately, and her heart was filled with anger, and she said:

"No matter what Jia Jing wants to do, it has nothing to do with our Lin family! Humph, my aunt said long ago that if a scholar rebels, he will never succeed! Even if Jia Jing is capable, he can say those things. It doesn't matter if the whole family listens to him! He doesn't have enough force in his hands, no matter how noisy he is, he will do nothing, or help others make wedding dresses!

Besides, the grandmother can obviously enter the palace, and she can tell the empress Defei the matter herself, or she can also let the empress's mother enter the palace to tell the story, why is it not much better than finding you, a married woman?Why is it for the emperor's good? I think she just wants to keep both sides and sell well. No matter who wins in the end, their Rongguo government will be invincible! "

"This, no way..." Jia Min said with some uncertainty.

"Hmph! She asked her mother to report to the palace. If the emperor wins, then the emperor will let the Rongguo mansion go for mother's sake. If they win, it will be even better, even if it is a leak." If they know about the rumors, grandma can also put all the responsibility on mother. Anyway, you are not from the Jia family anymore, so they don't have any scruples about doing it!

Besides, those aristocrats of their aristocratic families have long hated Auntie and Prince Zhongshun to death. Mother, don't forget how aggressive they all were when they were in front of the Empress Dowager, insisting on killing Auntie!

How could I tell you such important news with such kindness now? I think this is probably a trap!If you tell the emperor rashly like this, maybe there will be some big problems! "The more Lin Daiyu talked, the more angry she felt. She had played well with her cousins ​​and Jia Baoyu, but now she hated this grandparent's family to death.

"Yu'er, what do you think we should do now? Because of this war, your father's return to Beijing to report on his duties has been postponed indefinitely, and your aunt and Prince Zhongshun have gone to nowhere. What should we do now?" What should we do? If we don’t tell the emperor, what should we do if there is an accident?” Jia Min was even more panicked by what Lin Daiyu said, and at this moment he was even more confused and didn’t know what to do.

"Mother, don't worry! Leave this matter to me, and I will handle it! Don't go there these days, we will stay in the mansion, thank you behind closed doors, and no one will receive you! As for the grandparent's house , Let’s cut off contact for now! Let’s not get involved in anything about the Jia family!” Lin Daiyu said lightly.

"Yu'er, what do you do? How do you deal with it?" Jia Min's eyes were full of doubts.

"Although my aunt didn't say where she is now, she gave me a way to contact her before. I'll send someone to send the news to her in a while. Let's see what my aunt says about it! This is no longer something we can get involved with." It's over!"

Lin Daiyu held Jia Min's hand tightly, and said in a low voice, "Mother, my aunt sent me a message saying that the capital city is not peaceful during this time, so let's close the door and leave the house alone, and someone will protect our safety." Yes! As long as the two of us guard this house, let those capable people worry about other important matters!"

"Oh, that's the only way to go now!" Jia Min talked, and didn't want to say anything more, leaving everything to Lin Daiyu.

"Hehe, this old guy finally showed his fox tail!" Lin Tian and Situ Meng, who had completely resolved the border crisis and beat the Huns back to their hometown, had already returned to the palace in the capital, but the emperor had no one left Just know.

"What? What did Xiao Daiyu say in the letter?" Situ Meng asked with a smile from the side.

"She said that Mrs. Jia asked her sister-in-law to go to the palace to tell the emperor that Jia Jing and the nobles of the family are joining forces to rebel!" Lin Tian said calmly.

"Pfft! Cough, cough..." Situ Meng spit out the tea that he had just drunk into his mouth, and he was still coughing from choking. It took him a long time to recover, and said, "This old man from the Jia family The wife is really a chicken thief, she wants to bet on both ends! And she doesn't touch at all, tsk tsk... Tell me, she is such a shrewd person, how come the two sons she gave birth didn't inherit at all? Her intelligence?"

"Smart?" Lin Tian sneered, and said, "It's all about playing some shameless tricks! If you're really smart, you should choose one side to be unwavering now, spend money and effort, fight hard, and strive for success after success." A piece of the pie, instead of betting on both sides like now, seems to be invincible, but in fact it will completely send the Rongguo government to a dead end!"

"Xiaotian, don't say that! When we completely shut down the net, no matter for the sake of my sister-in-law, we won't completely wipe out Rongguo's mansion. You can still stay!"

Situ Meng patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "Not everyone has your courage and ability, otherwise, how can you completely kill those Huns with fear! The new generation of Lord God of War !"
