[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

This shop also seems to sell antiques. There is a man and a woman talking in a low voice in front of the main hall. Jia Yan followed Ji Kuan through the guards.Then Ji Kuan stopped, cupped his fists and said, "Master, madam, this is the little Mr. Jia who just stood out to Guangzhu outside."

The woman turned around, looked at Jia Yan and said with a smile: "Lao Qi, is this the Jia Yan and Jia Boheng you mentioned? He really is a good boy."

This woman is probably in her 40s, and Jia Yan only quietly looked at her when she walked over. She had the aura of a lady all over her, and she kept smiling.Hearing this, Jia Yan took a step forward: "Student Jia Yan has met Mrs. Ji."

"Mrs. Ji." The lady smiled and glanced at Ji Kuan, "Let's take a look, too. We, the seventh child, can always meet a sincere child." As she spoke, she tugged at the man's clothes, and Jia Yan stood with her hands down , did not see the gray-haired old man looking at the lady helplessly.

Then I heard Ji Kuan's father laughing and said: "Is it Lin Ruhai's nephew? A member of the Jinling tribe in Rongguo Duke's mansion? He has already released five clothes, right?"

Jia Yan was startled, and replied more respectfully: "Student is right, what you said is right."

"Jia's family in Rongfu, that's all." He pondered for a while, the room was silent, Jia Yan's back was wet, and then he heard him say: "I will walk with your mother, you and Xiao Jia have not seen each other for a long time. Let's talk." Before leaving, he warned Ji Kuan, "The most important thing in communicating with others is honesty."

Ji Kuan stood with his hands down, listening to his father's teachings, just a little bit more.After seeing his parents in the car and leaving, he said to Jia Yan, "Would Bo Heng come with me for a walk?"

Jia Yan said: "Don't dare to obey orders, I will let my family take my cousin home first." Ji Kuan nodded.

Jia Yan didn't care much, and directly asked the maids to leave. He entered the carriage and whispered a few words to Daiyu, and then asked Shen Xiao and others to send "Master Biao home".He himself only brought Han Changsheng, A Yuan and a few servants with him.

Watching Daiyu's car leave, Jia Yan and Ji Kuan got on their horses. Anyway, there were not many people walking outside at this time, and they only went slowly to the suburbs of Beijing.Shi Guangzhu did not go back with the couple, but followed Ji Kuan. After leaving the west gate, Ji Kuan sent all the attendants away, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jia also has some guesses in his mind, right?"

"..." Jia Yan said in his heart that he hadn't guessed at this time. It's better for me, a Jinshi, not to take the exam. It must be some kind of elm head. "I, Mr. Ji, no, Seventh Master...you."

Ji Kuan smiled wryly: "Me? I am King Situ Kuo of Chu, born of a noble concubine, and the seventh son today. Boheng, don't do this!" Seeing that Jia Yan was going to dismount to meet him, he hurriedly held him down, saying that he must not do this .

Although he had guessed, but when the facts were in front of his eyes, Jia Yan couldn't help but tongue-tied: "Then just now... are those really Qiye's parents?"

"Of course," Situ Kuo said, "my mother wanted to go out for a walk, so my father had no choice but to accompany her, and I also wanted to accompany her. I didn't want to deceive Bo Heng, Ji Kuan is my name. It's just, just,"

Jia Yan understands, how many times have they met?Even though we met and chatted happily a few times, Jia Yan was only a child at that time, so why did the prince explain anything to him.He said: "King of Chu, don't do this. You have your difficulties, and I can be regarded as a person who knows how to read and understand etiquette. How can you suspect that King Chu is deceiving you."

He deliberately asked another question: "Actually, I have already guessed it, but the king of Chu called himself Ji Kuan, which is really unexpected." Who would give Lao Qi the word Ji, Jia Yan thought, could it be that your family Is it Ji who takes the characters from the fourth child?

"Hahaha," Situ Kuo smiled helplessly: "This, this is really." He reined in his horse and Jia Yan walked forward slowly, "Boheng didn't know something. The matter of the three common people made the emperor furious. Choose characters for our prince, the third brother is named Meng, the fourth brother is named Zhong, the sixth brother is named Shu, and I am named Jikuan..."

Jia Yan simply didn't know what to say, the emperor really hated the three Situ Hong brothers so much back then, he just pretended that they didn't exist.But it is really willful enough, the emperor who can accompany the noble concubine out of the palace is really willful enough.

"Boheng is going to take the test in August this year, right?" Situ Kuo said, "Before the test, some people will make irresponsible remarks, so I won't seek you out. However, if Boheng has something difficult to do in Beijing, he will Go look for him." The King of Chu pointed to Shi Guangzhu, "Meng Gui is in the mansion of Duke Shan, and no one will doubt that you are a relative of Duke Rong."

Some people suspected that this was really meaningful, so Jia Yan clasped his fists and said hello: "I understand, Mr. Shi is good."

Only then did Shi Guangzhu bow slightly: "You can just call me Meng Gui. I have met several young masters of the Rong Mansion before. Bo Heng doesn't need to be so polite."

Shi Guangzhu sent Jia Yan back to the Lin Mansion on behalf of Situ Kuo. When he bid farewell to Situ Kuo, Situ Kuo said with a smile: "By the way, I just thought about why when my mother got into the car, I saw Ling Cousin smiled. Appears to recognize him."

"Uh, that." Jia Yan repeatedly waved his hands to explain.Situ Kuo said to himself: "At the time Lin Shilang was transferred back to Beijing, his wife brought her daughter to visit my mother, cousin, hahahaha, Boheng, you are really." In a low tone, he bowed his hands again and again to express his thanks.

As soon as Jia Yan entered the door, Shen Zhong hurriedly escorted him to the upper room. Lin Hai, Jia Min, and Daiyu were waiting in full force, and all the servants in the room withdrew.Lin Hai asked: "I heard from your sister that today you went out and met Concubine Su and...huh?"

Maybe it happened suddenly, and even people like Lin Hai were unavoidably hesitant and vague. Jia Min and Daiyu cast their eyes on Lin Hai.Jia Yan suppressed a smile: "Returning to Uncle, that Mr. Ji Kuan turned out to be King Kuo of Chu." He explained the meeting process in detail.

"Ah!" Lin Hai leaned on the chair: "Yes, yes, it must be the saint and the imperial concubine, alas."

He sighed so much that it made Jia Yan worried: "Uncle, what's wrong? My nephew didn't say much to the King of Chu. He just met him a few times in Yangzhou and chatted casually. Oh, the King of Chu also said The exam is coming soon and he can't find me out, so he introduced a young master named Shi Guangzhu to me."

Lin Hai propped his head up and said after a while: "Shi Guangzhu, I heard from Yu'er that the rude person you met is called Shi Guanghu?"

"Yes." Jia Yan and Daiyu said in unison, looked at each other and smiled again, and realized that they were in front of their elders.Daiyu said: "Father, is that man the son of Duke Shu's mansion that mother said? How could he be so rude?"

Lin Hai nodded: "They are all the grandsons of Duke Shan, Shi Guangzhu is the eldest son of Duke Shan, Guang Hu is the son of Erfang, and Erfang also has a son named Guanglin."

Hey, Jia Yan is a little strange, how can my uncle and aunt know everything about Shan Guogong's mansion after working outside for a long time... He didn't speak, but Daiyu said, "Are parents familiar with Shan Guogong's mansion?"

Lin Hai seemed to be lost in memory: "The matter of Shi's family is a bad debt. Mrs. Shizi is Shi Guangzhu's mother. Her natal family was sentenced to exile in Qiongzhou during the incident of the three common people, and many people died of illness on the way; But at the beginning, in order to protect the family, Shan Guogong forced the son and his wife to separate, and the wife of the son died on the third day after giving birth to Shi Guangzhu..."

The two children listened, and Daiyu held her mother's hand tightly. Jia Yan asked, "Then what happened next?"

"Later, His Majesty was furious. When His Majesty gave birth, Shi Shizi was still in prison. He was a concubine, no, Prince Yizhong's bodyguard. Later, His Majesty calmed down, knowing that Shizi had no intention of treason, and released him. Then...then," Lin Hai couldn't continue.

Jia Min went on to say: "Then the son went home, Duke Shan Guo hugged the child, Shi Guangzhu, and forced the son to commit suicide."

Jia Yan and Daiyu took a breath at the same time, and Daiyu's voice was trembling: "Duke Shan is afraid that His Majesty will pursue it in the future, so...to prevent future troubles? But His Majesty has let them go and will not pursue them. They are father and son." ah!"

"If the son doesn't commit suicide, Duke Shu will kill the child?" Jia Yan suddenly thought, "It's strange that Shi Guanghu said that he restrained his father and mother, and even the king of Chu came out. He is obviously very unhappy." , It also touched on the old affairs of the royal family. Judging from the selection of characters for the princes, it can be seen how angry the emperor was back then.

"That's right," Lin Hai said slowly, "it was the funeral of Shizi's wife at that time, and the Shi family refused to stop. But after all, the emperor did not deprive Shizi's wife of his order, and each family still sent people to pay a funeral, so the Shi family forced The story of killing his son and daughter-in-law spread throughout the capital. The emperor looked down on Shan Guogong because of this, and even said: Why do such people deserve the throne!"

Jia Min interjected: "That's why Shan Guogong is very smart. He never shows his eyes in front of His Majesty, and stays at home peacefully. After all, he is the founding Duke, and His Majesty can't take the Duke away without evidence."

She paused for a moment, and then said: "In the end, this is also Duke Shan's respect for the emperor, isn't it? Huh." The tone in her tone was completely contemptuous of Duke Shan's mansion.

Daiyu said: "However, how did the son of Duke Shu know that Duke Shan would not kill his son after his death, so he committed suicide so reassuringly?"

"Before the son died, he asked someone to deliver a letter to his aunt who always loved him," Jia Min said, "Shi Guangzhu grew up with the late emperor's concubine, and His Majesty also agreed."

"Then the Shi family still has no good intentions for this child who has been protected by the emperor?" Jia Yanqi said, "Shouldn't the younger generation bridge the relationship at this time?" Anyway, Duke Shan is old, and he will die sooner or later.

Lin Hai smiled and said to his daughter and nephew: "This is up to you to figure out for yourself. Shi Guangzhu is not even a grandson. Think about everything and go."

The two retired, and Jia Min asked, "Master, what does His Majesty mean?"

"The emperor asked the King of Chu and Brother Yan to recount the past, and he already knew that Brother Yan is from the Jia clan," Lin Hai mused, "I don't know what your Majesty thinks of Brother Yan. But this arrangement is enough to prove His Majesty's respect for him." The Jia clan is not very hostile...the nephew also has a chance."

Hearing what he said, Jia Min thought of an important matter. She whispered: "Brother Yan and the prince have a relationship... How does the master think His Majesty thinks of the King of Chu? The eldest son is obviously too ordinary, compared with his mother's great favor, it is inevitable to make people have many guesses."

Lin Hai shook his head. When he was in the Imperial Academy and Yushitai, the King of Chu was born not long ago.He is currently in charge of the household department and doesn't know much about the prince. If he has to say, the emperor only treats Concubine Su and the little princess well, and doesn't overly reward Su's mother's family, that's all.But for the king of Chu, not to mention Lin Hai, almost all the ministers in the court felt that the emperor did not intend to establish a heir because of love.But today the emperor came out again, he just asked the prince and the young man to "reminiscing about the old days?"

Lin Hai couldn't believe it.

As for Jia Yan, I don't know how the emperor plans to arrange the child. If he doesn't have anything to do with the King of Chu, then naturally it doesn't matter.If the emperor intends to put Jia Yan together with the princes, or as a servant, or even as an official of the palace, then...

Lin Hai has experienced it personally, and it will never end well if he is involved in a battle for the royal reserve. However, to be a loyal and pure minister depends on the emperor's will. It's not that I didn't want to be a loyal and pure minister at the beginning, but the relationship between the prince and the emperor has deteriorated. Is it because the minister's advice is effective?

surely not.

Jia Daishan said it a few times at the beginning, but it was not necessary to say it, but it made the prince think of something else.Could it be that Jia Daishan didn't care about the hundred or so people in the Jia family because of the name of a loyal minister? How could that be possible?The family is the country, and the family is in front of the country. This is the thinking of the ministers. If the master you serve is not good enough, then quickly find a way to get off the ship.

Lin Hai has been watching for so many years, and he is willing to live and die with the Lord. There are always very few people who go all the way to death, and most of them run away early without a trace.

"I think Duke Shan thinks that Shi Guangzhu has a deep resentment towards the mansion, so he refuses to make him his grandson." Daiyu said, "Even in Duke Shan's opinion, Shi Guangzhu's future is better than nothing." .”

Jia Yan couldn't figure out this kind of thinking. In his opinion, a man should think about the future of the family. Since Shan Guogong did that thing back then, he simply admitted it frankly and entrusted the family to his grandchildren.Even if it wasn't Shi Guangzhu, he still had to let other grandsons stand out, otherwise sooner or later, he would still have to give it to the person he hated.Sticking to whether he likes it or not, Duke Shan Guo is indeed stupid.

Thinking about Shi Guanghu's appearance, even if he wanted to be partial because of love, he wouldn't do it.

When he expressed his opinion, Daiyu pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Brother is not wrong to think so, but... Duke Ruoshan thinks that once Shi Guangzhu gains power, he will destroy the entire Shi family?"

"No way!" Jia Yan couldn't believe it, what good would this do for Shi Guangzhu?

Daiyu is just guessing, she thinks some people don't care much about fame and future, she said with a smile: "It is said that women are promiscuous and can't get rid of it, but I think that some people have the same ideas. "

For example, hatred and revenge, Jia Yan understood, and kept Daiyu's words in his heart.Coincidentally, on this day, Jia Yan accompanied Sun Zhong to Yingmao of the Guozijian, and he stopped by to listen to the courses of the Guozijian.On the way back, he ran into Jia Baoyu, a group of young men whom he often met, including Shi Guanghu.
