Chapter 9 Jia Zhen Travels Chapter

Pei Yang tilted his body, only felt a burning pain in his left shoulder, his body swayed, took a step back, barely holding the coffee table to stabilize his figure.Seeing this, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Chen ran over in a hurry, the two little ones still had tears in their eyes, and they looked like they were about to cry, which was even more pitiful.Pei Yang took a few deep breaths and finally felt better.Turning around, he waved to the three children, indicating that he was fine, and ordered the servants to look after Mrs. Wang, and then went to the yard to receive the order.Although Wang Ziteng was not Jia Zhen, he still had an official rank, and the servants of the Wang family stood all together in the courtyard at the gate, and there was absolutely no reason not to show up.How sensible is Wang Ziteng? Looking at Jia Zhen's whip-torn clothes and the clear bloodstain, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He only hoped that the eunuch who came to deliver the decree was old with him, so he had better hide it.

The two straightened their clothes and walked slowly to the courtyard.Seeing the servant who came to deliver the decree, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but go dark.The person who came was Du Zhong, the Minister of Daming Palace, the confidant of Emperor Su Yuan, who had no desires and desires, and was quite well-known among the courtiers.Du Zhong was able to serve the imperial court, so he was naturally sharp-eyed. He immediately saw the blood on Pei Yang's body, especially on the white brocade and gold thread patterned clothes.Reminiscent of seeing the movement in the main hall in the courtyard just now, and then glanced at the serious Wang Ziteng, he found that there was something wrong with his cuffs, a small part was faintly exposed, shaped like a whip, and it was the same as Jia Zhen's clothes. The broken place on the top is the right number.The young masters who came out with Jia Zhen also looked angry, and they looked at Wang Ziteng particularly unkindly.Du Zhong had some calculations in his mind, and he already had some guesses. This prince Teng is really too arrogant, and he is indeed a bit domineering.

Du Zhong had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just watched with a smile as Jia Zhen set up the incense burner and was ready to receive the imperial edict. Then he opened the imperial edict and read it eloquently. Modest and rigorous, quite aristocratic demeanor; Jia Zheng was dismissed from his official position, only to make him reflect on himself at home.Pei Yang knelt down to accept the imperial edict, but there was an imperceptible smile on his face. The emperor was really wise, and he rushed to deliver the edict at this time. He clearly knew the news of Jia's family, and also heard that Wang Ziteng called. I don't know the truth, so I just ordered the servant to find out.Wang Ziteng, however, was struck by lightning. Today he led people to forcibly enter the Ningguo Mansion, but he did not hide his whereabouts at all. He wanted to intimidate the Jia family and others, so that Jia Zhen and the Jia family would not dare to act rashly, but unexpectedly Jia Zhen Being so stubborn, not only failed to achieve the goal of supporting her sister and her husband, but also provoked taboos from above, so she couldn't help secretly thinking about how to get over this situation.Du Zhong looked coldly at Wang Ziteng's somewhat angry and troubled expression, and saw that Jia Zhen quickly calmed down despite being a little surprised, so he couldn't help approving.Although Jia Zhen is not successful in literature and martial arts, she is a complete dandy, and in charge of the Ningguo Mansion and the Jia clan so as not to make the emperor suspicious, lest the military power fall to the side; is a wise man.You know, although Emperor Suyuan doted on the old ministers, although he allowed them to be demoted to the nobles, they still hung the sign of the Duke's Mansion and did not pursue them. After all, he took it to heart. It is appreciation.In addition, although he sympathized with the old officials and gave Jia Zheng a six-rank real deficiency because of Jia Daishan's deathbed, but he did not expect Jia Zheng to be unusable. He was never dismissed just now, and now he just has a ready-made reason to resign his position, why not do it?

"I'm sorry to trouble Mrs. Du to come in person. Why don't I accompany you to the flower hall, the main courtyard is really busy now, I'm afraid I've wronged you, please forgive me." Once there, Pei Yang exchanged greetings with Du Zhong.Du Zhong had already got what Emperor Suyuan wanted, and he just smiled and said: "It's rare for us to take a trip. General Wei Lie didn't even let us enter the main hall. It's unreasonable." , but it’s just that some housework is not cleaned up, so you’ll laugh at me.” Pei Yang’s attitude is soothing and natural, perhaps because of his old concept, Pei Yang’s attitude towards these servants in the palace is no different from that of ordinary people. The thoughtful Eucommia felt very comfortable.

"My lord general, let's announce to the imperial physician, our family just saw that your lord general was injured." Eunuch Du looked solemn, and glanced at Wang Ziteng inadvertently. "Haha, it's just a minor injury. I'm ashamed that I got hurt when I wanted to use my fist and kick just now." Pei Yang remained calm, smiled at Yan Yan, and stuffed the prepared ruler into Eunuch Du's sleeve , Eunuch Du was not polite, he accepted it directly, and simply went to the main hall.

"What's going on here?" Du Zhong had just entered the main hall when he saw the table and chair in the main seat fell to the ground, with broken porcelain next to it, and the servant on one side was staring closely at the embarrassed Mrs. Wang and the two locked The tight box couldn't help frowning, and turned to ask Jia Zhen.Wang Ziteng was about to interject when he saw Jia Chen, who was sobbing and choking, took the first step, crying loudly: "Someone is bullying my brother." His face was flushed from crying, and his little hand pointed at Wang Ziteng, which made Jia Rong unable to hold back. The two little ones cried together, and even Jia Lian, who had always been close, couldn't persuade him. "My lord, the younger sister and the dog are young and ignorant, so please don't be offended." Pei Yang quickly took over the conversation and said, "It's because the lower officials are not strict in managing the family, and some troubles have arisen. Now I am asking Lord Wang to take over the matter." Bringing his sister back, at least it is correcting the atmosphere of Jia's family." Du Zhong smiled, thinking of the rumors of the neighbors champering the lawsuit, he stopped asking, just drank a cup of tea and went back.

When Eucommia left, Wang Ziteng's previous aura had dropped by five points.Pei Yang looked at Wang Ziteng with a half-smile, took out the divorce letter written by Jia Zheng himself, and opened the IOUs for the two boxes.Although Wang Ziteng relied on his power, he never took these things to heart, but since he registered with the imperial court, it is irreversible for the Wang family to be suspended, not to mention that there is still a reason in his hands.In the end, he almost gritted his teeth and took Wang away. "My lord, later I will order someone to send the original dowry of the Wang family back to the Wang family. My lord must check it carefully, lest there be any mistakes, everyone's faces will be ugly." Regardless of Wang Ziteng's black face, , Pei Yang served tea to see off the guests.Wang Ziteng and his party were about to leave, and Jia Lian and Jia Rong hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to fetch the post to find the imperial physician.

Only now did Pei Yang feel that the wound on his left shoulder was sticky, and when he saw Jia Chen and Jia Rong's eyes turned red again, he just smiled and said, "Why are you crying, Rong'er, you are a man, the heir of our Dongfu. Sister, don't worry too, brother, this is just a minor injury, it looks a little scary, it's not serious." Just as Jia Lian entered the back room, Pei Yang called him to him, and Fang said with a serious expression: "Today I'm just telling you two There are two things, one is that as long as we act righteously, we have nothing to fear. Although our two governments are not as good as before, they are still not something that cats and dogs can bully. You can do it." Jia Lian and Jia Rong listened, and it took a long time for them to answer with awe.

"Steward Yang, release the news. I am so angry today that I need to rest. I won't see any guests these days. As for the reason, the housekeeper must be clear." Pei Yang explained to the housekeeper after sending the imperial physician away.The old butler watched Jia Zhen grow up, and he regarded Jia Zhen as his own child in his heart, and felt extremely distressed, thinking that Wang Ziteng was too arrogant.Pei Yang waved him back, and ordered Jia Lian and Jia Rong to go back to the study to study and practice calligraphy, while thinking about today's events.When she was dealing with the wound just now, she was in excruciating pain. Up to now, she still can't move, so she has to rest in bed.The medical conditions in ancient times were no better than today's. According to what the imperial physician said, I'm afraid I will have to suffer tonight.Pei Yang comforted Jia Chen again, and ordered the nanny to take him down to rest. Fang was about to sleep on the bed for a while, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.She could have dodged the whip today.It's just that if it wasn't for the injury today, this matter might not be so easy to settle.Although Rongning and Ningfu are not afraid of Wang Ziteng now, they have seen their decline after all, so they can't fight recklessly.If he had never been injured, even though he was on the reasonable side, there would inevitably be some unkind rumors.The four big families in Jinling have always been in the same spirit, but the Jia family disregarded their old friendship and Wang Ziteng's help, and insisted on letting go of the Wang family's aunts and opposing Jia's disadvantages.Even the emperor was unavoidably partial, and it was very likely that he would turn a blind eye to Wang Ziteng's intrusion into the Ningguo Mansion, thinking that he was venting his anger for his sister. After all, Jia's generation did not produce any talents.Now the situation has changed, as long as the news is released, the emperor may feel jealous.Since ancient times, the emperors have been lying on the side of the couch, how could they allow other people to snore and sleep. Prince Teng, holding a heavy soldier in his hand, rode his horse through the capital, wounding the head of Jia's mansion, which is extremely arrogant.I have reason again, even if Wang Ziteng intends to take revenge, he has to be cautious and dare not act rashly.Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for her to put in more effort to control the children of the clan and spend the intervening ten years in peace until Jia Lian and Jia Rong's generation rely on the imperial examination to stand up.Thinking of this, Pei Yang couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. She finally understood that the old emperor was not as indulgent to the Jia family as those novels about the Red Chamber. Praise for your wit.

The news that Wang Ziteng led people to the Ningguo Mansion, intending to rely on his power to suppress others, and injured the head of Jia's family, spread quickly.The common people were very interested in the rumors about the prince's mansion, and vaguely heard that it was the patriarch of the Jia clan who found out that the Wang clan had exploited the people, so he took action.Originally, for the sake of the face of the two families, they only planned to deal with it quietly, and let it be reported that they died of illness, but they didn't expect that the unreasonableness of the Wang family was in the same line. Her brother actually beat the head of the Jia family, and the two families fell out. , this upright and clear patriarch suffered an indiscriminate disaster, which is really deplorable. "I heard from my cousin who worked at the gate of Rongguo Mansion and his aunt who was on night duty at the second gate and her nephew and nephew of her sister-in-law who was a servant in Ning Mansion. At that time, he was just watching. The shake was really vicious, and it was intended to be slapped on someone's face. Luckily, Patriarch Jia avoided it. Later, the clothes that the old housekeeper took to burn were covered in blood. Now General Wei Lie is still closing the door to thank guests, afraid You still can’t get out of bed. Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that Mr. Wang is really powerful. He dares to smoke even a third-rank official, and he doesn’t care about the friendship of several lifetimes.” The crowd is so lively, the speaker naturally heard about it, On the second day, a censor impeached Wang Ziteng. Emperor Suyuan had learned the cause and effect from Eucommia, who had gone to preach the decree, and was very dissatisfied with Wang Ziteng's domineering and overbearing behavior. The three-rank general who was sealed.His prince Teng dared to be so rampant to the Jia family today, if he is still lacking in a high-ranking official, will he be forced to marry if he doesn't like it someday.Emperor Suyuan found Wang Ziteng's shortcomings with lightning speed, seized his military power, and was downgraded to the sixth rank by contempt of the law, ordering him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes.

When Wang Ziteng was full of anger and returned home disheartened, he saw the clansmen gathered together with angry and menacing faces.The Wang family was originally a big and prosperous family, and many men and women of the right age were discussing marriage. They didn't expect such things to happen. It was reported that the Wang family was suspended because of violating national laws and family regulations, which had already shamed the clan. What Wang Ziteng did It made the Wang family feel ashamed to see others. Who would dare to have such a condescending relative who would not take himself seriously.Even if the women in the clan are gentle and demure, knowledgeable and reasonable, they can only stay in the boudoir.As for the male members of the clan, even if they are promising, they will not be able to marry the daughters of famous families.They are already engaged, and in the past two days, they have been divorced one after another; those aunts who were not long ago have also been divorced by a paper of divorce, even family friends can only reconcile, and the dowry yard It's in there.

Wang Ziteng was really ashamed and annoyed, he only blamed Jia Zhen for acting viciously, and wanted to make their Wang family die forever.However, he could no longer take care of his own sister, and the tribe suffered a lot because of his reckless behavior. Even if he was too busy, even comforting the children of the tribe with gentle words could not save the situation.Soon, the Wang family re-elected the patriarch under the arrangement of the clan elders, and Wang Ziteng's line was reduced to a side branch, and he was punished by the clan elders for not mentioning it.As for the Wang family, they went to the family temple to cultivate themselves early in the morning, and when the crime was verified, they were removed from the family tree, and were turned away by the clansmen to the government, where they were imprisoned.When Pei Yang heard about this, he felt a little guilty.Although Wang Ziteng and later Wang Xifeng ignored the laws of the country, bullied the people, and did all kinds of evil things.Seeing that they were hard to find a good match and were being cast aside, Pei Yang was naturally uneasy, but thinking of everyone in the clan, he suppressed it again.It is inevitable that my methods are a little harsh, but if I don't act accordingly, the situation of the Jia family's destruction in the original book of the Red Chamber will become a true portrayal many years later.She has never been a savior, she can save only herself and those within her ability.Even if she did it again, she would still choose to do so.What's more, according to her previous temper, she was more willing to turn Mrs. Wang to the government, but she just gave up considering that the reputation of Jia's mansion could not be destroyed and the foundation of Jia's family could not be shaken. "Brother, what are you thinking? From my point of view, this is what you really deserve." Jia Chen was young and didn't know how much he was involved. He just felt that it was so smooth, it was the cycle of heaven, and the retribution was unpleasant.Pei Yang smiled, patted her hairy head, and said nothing, Jia Chen's distinction between likes and dislikes has always been something she admired.

"Brother, why are you pretending to be sick even though you are well? It's really suffocating." Jia Chen was young and couldn't understand Pei Yang's actions. "Sister, most people in this world like to sympathize with the weak. As long as that person's ending is bleak, no matter how heinous he was before, he can forgive him. Instead, he blames the original sufferer for being narrow-minded. What Wang did, because of the family's reputation, After all, a lot has been concealed. If the minor injury is not mentioned, it is inevitable that some people will blame us for being too preoccupied, but it is not beautiful. Therefore, how can my brother recover from this illness so quickly?" Pei Yang smiled, and did not forget to order Jia Chen's forehead.Although this girl is young, she is very clever, and Pei Yang also explained the world to her more, so as not to develop the cold-hearted temperament of the original book, which will not be tolerated by the world.Speaking of these days, he often asked the housekeeper to find a doctor with a strict tongue, and ran to General Weilie's mansion every three days, and the fragrance of the medicine filled the entire Ningrong Street.To the outside world, he only said that he was mentally weak, sometimes dizzy, and he never recovered, so he couldn't see guests.Jia Chen couldn't help frowning, and complained: "People in this world are too unreasonable. They only listen to one side and believe on the other side, regardless of right or wrong. If I had known, I would have been sick a few times in Xifu. If I cry every day, someone will seek justice for me."

"Sister, this is stupid. If you have nothing to do, why do you curse yourself when you are sick? If it is according to me, do everything according to your heart, and don't wear down your pride in order to cater to the world. It's like appreciating paintings. Is it because some people criticize Wu? Daozi's paintings, Wu Daozi's paintings are not good paintings? How can the word "justice" be so easy. Therefore, in life, one should act with a clear conscience and not worry about gossip, that's all. Don't give up the basics and pursue the end." Pei Yang talked with Jia Chen for a while, and then asked Jia Chen to go back to the yard to have a good rest.Later, she will check Jia Lian and Jia Rong's homework.

She already has a candidate for the family school and museum, and she just waits for a few days to come to visit and invite her personally.Tomorrow, she has to go to sort out the family school first.
