Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

When Ai Ruo returned to the capital, before she could sit still, she heard from Zhou Rui's family that the Dongping Palace was ransacked early in the morning.And the concubine of Dongping Palace also sent someone to deliver the letter, but because they were not there, there was no reason.

"Why such a coincidence?" Jia Zheng took a sip of tea and was taken aback.

"What a coincidence, something happened to my in-laws, so it's no wonder Dongping Wang's family is fine." Ai Ruo was not surprised, it was mainly her business, "Is there anything going on in the mansion these two days?"

"It's okay. Uncle Zhu lives at my aunt's house. There's nothing wrong with the old lady." Zhou Rui's family naturally wanted to say in front of Jia Zheng that he hadn't forgotten the old lady. They were not at home, and he was taking care of the old lady. daily life.

In fact, Jia Zheng didn't think of his old lady at all, but suddenly he frowned, "Did Concubine Dongping disturb the old lady?"

"Of course not. The old lady is so honorable, so she won't let a crazy woman disturb her peace." Zhou Rui's family naturally understood what Jia Zheng was worried about, and laughed quickly.

Only then did Jia Zheng breathe a sigh of relief. He was not worried that Mother Jia would let him save others, but that he would be singled out for nothing.

Ai Ruo had a thought, that's right, I used God's hand to get rid of the princess, but I was actually afraid of this, now the old concubine can't do anything to save her son and grandson.

"Dongping Prince ransacked the house, was Lord Dongping punished? How is the family?" Ai Ruo calmed down.The dog is still jumping over the wall in a hurry, she must not let this happen.

"The old concubine is at least in her prime. The old sage waived the law and was detained in his own courtyard, and all the female family members rushed over. The others were confiscated. The prince of Dongping was locked up for questioning." Zhou Rui's family also wentssip Sincerely, he immediately said enthusiastically, yes, the knife can't cut the meat, and it won't hurt at any time.

"Oh, it's okay if there's nothing wrong at home. Did the other families react?" Ai Ruo was in no mood to gossip.Ask her directly what she wants to know.This time, the best thing is not to be special, what other people do at home, they do at home.

"No, the four kings and eight lords and the other families locked their doors tightly. I heard that some people didn't even let the person who reported the news enter the house." Zhou Rui's family pursed their lips in disdain.

"Human nature, how do you say the old saying. 'Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes'. Husband and wife are like this, let alone us, we have nothing to do with each other, don't we?" Ai Ruo smiled wryly, shook his head, "Forget it, don't worry about other people's affairs. Go to school to pick up Zhu'er, we're back, we can't let him go to my aunt's house, right?"

"Yes. Someone has been sent. Do you want to inform Mrs. Hui and the Lu family?" Zhou Rui's family also knows that this is really not the time to gossip.Immediately withdrew his expression and asked carefully.

"It's not a big deal, so don't worry." Ai Ruo shook her head, "Just tell my aunt that Zhu'er won't pass."

"Yes." Zhou Rui's family was arranged to go down, and Ai Ruo waved for everyone to go down, and didn't want anyone to close the door and put down the cups. "Master, what do you think?"

"I can't figure out what it means." Jia Zheng also had a serious expression on his face. It's about the second concubine's family.In fact, it has been a while, and they actually talked about it at the time, thinking that the royal family was just waiting for Mu Ge to grow up, but they didn't expect this to happen suddenly, and they really couldn't figure out what it meant.

"So I didn't expect that it was right for us to go out for a trip. I really don't know how to deal with it when I'm really at home." Ai Ruo didn't have the psychological quality of pretending not to know behind closed doors, which is the best.Even if they don’t know each other, they can’t say that they don’t care if they ask at the door. Sometimes they know it’s wrong, but they have to do it. This is modern people.No matter how venomous your tongue is, no matter how rational you are, even if your enemy is hacked outside, you are too embarrassed to let him in to hide. It is not the Holy Mother, but you are afraid of having a lifetime of uneasy conscience.

"What about Brother Mu?" Jia Zheng raised his head suddenly. In fact, everyone knows that the matter of Dongping Wang's family is just a word, and it depends on when.One day earlier, one day later, the knife is always there, it just depends on the mood of the royal family.At this time, Jia Zheng was no longer as sad as he was before. This generation of Dongping County King was a bit lonely, and his relationship with the other families was weak.No matter how stupid he is, he doesn't really have much affection for someone who has nothing to do with him. Now, it's Mu Ge'er who has something to do with their family.Mu Ge'er was also his student, so of course he paid more attention.

"Master, what are you worried about? He is the grandson of the sage, and the sage didn't count him as a member of the Dongping royal family, okay?" Ai Ruo really didn't think much about it, but when Jia Zheng mentioned it, she also felt worried. I feel bad.

"But Mu Ge doesn't know that King Dongping is his own father? Something really happened, and we outsiders feel uncomfortable, let alone him." Jia Zheng said to himself, thinking of the last time he went to watch the beheading, everyone After asking for leave, Mu Ge'er will of course follow.That day, Mu Geer quietly watched the heads fall one by one. Jia Hu, Jia Zhu, and the Lu family brothers were all dumbfounded, but he was the only one who watched everything coldly.That day, Jia Zheng already understood that Mu Geer knew everything. He knew who these people were and what they did.So now, if it was his own father who knelt in front of Cai Zhu's mouth, could he still be so calm?

"But is it easy to manage the affairs of the royal family? We are outsiders, how can we persuade?" Ai Ruo wanted to cry, but he still insisted.But thinking about it sincerely, it's a bit like what Jia Zheng said, I'm a little worried about Mu Geer.In any case, Mu Geer grew up beside me, and I pulled him back from the lifeline bit by bit. From lying down all the time to being able to walk and run now, it's all my hard work. I was hit, and I really didn't seem to be able to bear it.

But are the royal affairs so easy to manage?Besides, how can I persuade you about this kind of thing?The parents who say that there is no wrong in the world, the four royals, can jump up and kill them.But, your father deserves it, well, what is Mu Geer's situation?Has anyone ever spoken ill of the other party's parents in front of others?How bad that is!

Jia Zheng also sighed. Sure enough, both sides were wrong in these matters, and he could only quietly wait for the royal sword to fall slowly.But they were a little supportive, and they never thought that King Dongping had already been arrested.

In the evening, Jia Zhu didn't come back alone, but also brought the dejected Mu Geer.Everyone didn't say anything, and asked people to serve the meal directly. There was no more black charcoal, and the atmosphere was a little dull. However, because Brother Mu was in a bad mood, everyone didn't dare to deliberately create an atmosphere to make Ai Ruo happy.Ai Ruo didn't have the time to think about whether Xiao Heitan had something to eat at this time, would he be thinking about his own affairs, so he focused on Mu Ge'er wholeheartedly.

Ai Ruo brought a lot of food to Mu Geer, and Mu Geer looked at Ai Ruo, but he didn't resist and ate all of them with his head down.Ai Ruo's heart became even more gloomy, because Mu Ge'er is already very casual when he is at home, and he will stop eating and protest if it is not delicious.Now burying your head in eating, can things not be too big?Ai Ruo looked at Jia Zheng, but Jia Zheng didn't dare to sigh, and gave Brother Mu his favorite food, "Eat slowly, you won't be able to digest it if you eat like this."

Mu Ge'er looked up at Jia Zheng, then lowered his head and started eating again.

Jia Zhu looked at Jia Hu in fright. Jia Hu patted him lightly, but also brought some food for him, signaling him to eat quickly and not talk.

"Brother Mu, do you want to stay at Uncle's house today or go back?" When they finally finished eating, everyone looked around and didn't know what to say.Ai Ruo thought about it and asked directly.

"Can I live here?" Mu Ge'er finally looked up, he didn't want to see anyone from Grandpa's family today.

"Of course, Hu'er, go and meet with Master Dong to see Mu Ge'er's uncle, and say that Mu Ge'er will be staying today." Ai Ruo didn't persuade Jia Hu to do it.Jia Hu knew who Uncle Mu Ge was.Of course, the main reason was that there was no one to send, and we had to send a master. It would be too much for Jia Zheng to go in person. Jia Hu was the best choice.

Brother Hu nodded his head, Jia Zhu was still confused, but he was very smart, so he just kept silent.Ai Ruo didn't know what to say, but ordered someone to tidy up the guest room in Jia Zhu's courtyard and replace it with new bedding.

Seeing Mu Ge'er like this, Jia Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable, and gently patted Mu Ge'er's head, "Many things are adults' business and have nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry too much, you just need to know, Your grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt love you very much, so that's it."

"That's my dad."

"That's right, that's your father. The sage also said that everyone in the world is a parent. You are really in a difficult situation." Jia Zheng smiled wryly, he really didn't know how to persuade him.He looked at his wife helplessly and let her go.

"Mu Ge'er, Zhu'er, you have been studying for so many years, I saw a case in the book, you can help me solve it." Actually, Ai Ruo was already thinking about this after talking about the Dongping Palace with Jia Zheng in the afternoon Well, Mu Ge'er is very close to their family, if something really happened, they will definitely help, how to persuade is the key.

"A case?" Mu Ge'er didn't expect Ai Ruo to bring up a case.

"Well, there was a family whose father killed the mother, and then the child avenged the mother and killed the father, so when they went to the government, the government didn't know how to judge. Tell me, if you are a magistrate, how should you judge? ?”

"It's very embarrassing! It's unacceptable for a son to kill his father, but the mother's kindness wins the heavens. A son cannot avenge his mother. It seems like a son in vain. But revenge for the mother, and the object is the biological father, isn't it okay?" Jia Zhu was dumbfounded. Turning to look at Mu Geer, "What do you say?"

"So the son should stay far away and ignore this matter, because the father made a mistake first, so it is fine to punish the crime by the law. As a son, it is not against filial piety to ignore it or ignore it." Brother Mu finally raised his head, Looking at Ai Ruo.

"Yes, cover your ears and eyes, as if there is no such person in this world, so many things are easy." Ai Ruo gently patted Mu Ge's small face, which was the simplest thing she could think of. The solution, but she doesn't know if Mu Ge'er can really do it, at least she can say that if she really asks herself to do it, she may not be able to do it.
