Old things in the Red Chamber

After a few days, everyone stopped paying attention to the separation of the family. Jia Amnesty also became a rich man after shedding the layers of his background.

The follow-up brought about is still very serious, not to mention, the identity of his descendants will be changed.

Take his precious grandson Jia Fang as an example. He was originally a companion reader in the Communist Party, but in the past, he was also an official.Now that he has left the public house, his father's family is white again. Although he has two cousins ​​to take care of him on weekdays, he has also received a lot of stares and listened to a lot of gossip secretly.

The most important argument is: Without the Rongguo Mansion, how could the imperial concubine enter the palace? Now, without thinking about the kindness of the ancestors, and leaving the family without authorization, it is not only unfilial but also immoral.

There are still many people who say this. After all, human beings always pity the weak. In this case, the weak is Shi Taijun. He raised his eldest son and finally had to live with his younger son. Fortunately, his younger son is filial. Otherwise, the evening scene desolate……

Back then when Shi Taijun gave birth to twins, it was revealed that someone specifically said, "Twins always have a good understanding. If one of them has malicious intentions in life, then neither of them will be a good thing."

This time not only scolded Jia Amnesty but also scolded Jia Gu.Then there is the emperor himself, and many people privately scolded him for being bloody.Therefore, when Jia Fang told Jia Gu about this matter, Jia Gu himself didn't mind.

"People say that young people should quit sex, and old people should quit bravery. That is to say, when you know these trivial matters, don't get hot-blooded and fight with others to the death. It's not good. Especially for this matter, if your grandfather and I If people make a move with a few gossips, then they won’t be able to accomplish great things in the future.”

"Uncle, if you don't teach them a lesson, they will slander you and my grandfather at will in the future. They think we are afraid of them."

"Then let me ask you, if your grandfather and I don't take action, how can you teach others a lesson? As long as it is something you can do and does not hurt yourself, I will agree with you to do it."

Jia Fang immediately became depressed. In the final analysis, he was still a child with limited knowledge and could not take effective measures. He was also an ordinary person. A stunning thing.

"But I don't want to let them go like this."

"When you can't put the other party to death all at once, you have to learn to endure, not only you, but also the emperor." Otherwise, why would there always be some people who can't die even if they keep jumping around.Jia Gu stroked Jia Fang's head, "Listen to me, forbearance is what you should learn. After you have endured it, look back, the few gossips you heard today are really not important. Besides, how do you deal with these Xiao Xiaoxiao? To deal with it is a waste of time and manpower, and you will not have a good reputation, so you should learn to seize the opportunity in the future and drop ten times with one effort."

"What is one power drop ten meetings?"

"For example, you said these words in your ear, who they made friends with, and for what purpose did they say such words. After you analyze, learn to distinguish whether they are malicious slander or echoing others, and classify them well. In the future, you have to learn to take advantage of the general situation and uproot their group, this is revenge."

Looking at Jia Fang's incomprehensible eyes, Jia Gu gave him a mysterious smile on purpose, "If you have a good memory and can still remember today, then watch it in the next two years. Uncle taught you how to take advantage of the situation to get revenge , How can you take revenge when no one says you are wrong, and how can you take revenge to make people feel that you are not at fault. Of course, you are right in this matter. "

Jia Fang stretched out her hand, "Uncle, let's make an oath by high-fiving."

Jia Gu stretched out his hand, "Don't say a single word about today's matter, this is an agreement between you and me, will you agree?"

Jia Fang nodded, and Jia Gu gave him three high-fives.

After all, the capital is a circle of right and wrong. Jia Amnesty came back from the outside with a wooden box under his arm. He went back to Jia Gu's study and watched his grandson study honestly. He opened the box and let Jia Gu have a look.

"Thanks to my nephew and son-in-law, otherwise, it wouldn't have been done so quickly."

He was talking about changing the household registration of the family. Don’t think that dividing the clan is a very simple matter. After the discussion of the family, it is not only clear about the relationship between relatives, but also clear about the law.

If a new household registration is obtained after filing with the government, then the matter will really be settled.

Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief, watching his little grandson sitting under the window shaking his head and reading, it felt like a family escaped from birth.He discussed with Jia Gu, "I always have to do things to support the whole family. Now that I have no monthly money, I have to pay for it myself even if I buy money on weekdays. I need money for every move. If I don't think about it, his father will do it too." A prodigal son, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, he is sitting on nothing."

Jia Gu didn't stop his brother from going out to find a job. To tell the truth, it would be good if he was allowed to move around frequently, and he would save himself from being bored at home all day long.

"What do you want to do?"

"A few days ago, a few owners in the antique business approached me and were willing to invite me to make offerings. Just give them palm eyes. That's all I can do."

"Then wait a little longer. I'll send someone to find out which one has a good reputation and does business well. If you choose another one here, you haven't gone out to do business. When people's hearts are sinister, even I'm afraid."

After the two discussed it, they called Jia Fang, and Jia Gu's little granddaughter, Si'er, and had a happy dinner.

After the meal, watching Jia Fang and her four children running and playing in the front yard, Jia Gu was worried about his son and grandson in Jiangnan, "I don't know if my little grandson has been born, the wind in the south of the Yangtze River is high and the waves are rough, if it wasn't for me I have an errand, I can't wait to run over to pick up my two grandchildren."

"I've been busy for the past few days, so I didn't ask you, Jiang Nan hasn't written yet?"

"No."

"But the people in Jiangnan already know about our separation. Many people in Jinling wrote to reprimand me and set me on fire. Even the people from the Zhen family also annoyed the old lady. The family relationship is fine."

Jia Gu sneered, although he has become an otaku recently, it is not ignorant of the outside news, Jia Zhen was indeed abandoned by everyone, and was imprisoned in the prison of the clan mansion, where she became ill and burned badly , before two days passed, he died of illness.The clan mansion can only be said to have died suddenly, and his son Jia Rong soon followed in his father's footsteps, both father and son died in prison one after another.Let the old prince of the clan's mansion suffer and can't tell.

When the bodies of Jia Zhen and his son were returned to the family, Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, and Jia Rong's wife, Hu Shi, wept bitterly, abandoned the dignity of a noble lady, and were supported by servants, crying from the clan mansion When I arrived at Ningguo Mansion, everyone I saw along the way felt the same way. Many people in the streets and alleys commented that the royal family was too ruthless and ungrateful, even black-hearted.

But those people who don't know the matter really feel that this is called the law of heaven, and the retribution is not good.The law can forgive you, but God will not forgive you. How about it, you were murdered by the wronged soul.

The corpses of Jia Zhen and his son have not yet cooled completely. The question of who will inherit the Ningguo Mansion has become the focus of everyone's attention. However, neither Jia Rong nor Jia Zhen left any heirs. Jia Qiang is the most likely to inherit the Ningguo Mansion.

Naturally, Jia Qiang also wanted to take this piece of fat into her own hands, and ran to Rongguo Mansion all day long to pay Jia Zheng's greetings.

Compared with Jia Zhenxian, Jia Zheng is a deep-minded person. Now that he is the patriarch, he is naturally qualified to let someone inherit Jia Zhen's branch, but he has no idea whether he can let the heir inherit the title.

What Jia Zhen did, the royal family has not expressed yet, which made Jia Zheng feel a little flustered.He panicked and naturally went back to find his new master.

Just a few days ago, the people from the Zhen family came to the capital and gave him great convenience. He went to see the second master of Prince Zhong's mansion in the name of visiting his old relatives.

"A mere third-rank general is worth your trip. After a while, I will become a big deal, and the benefits of your family will be indispensable."

The second master threw the fish food into the water, watched the fish in the lake come to snatch it, and smiled with his lips curled up, "I heard that you have a bastard, right? Adopt him to Jia Jing, who will inherit it first." In their mansion, in a few days, I will confer your son-in-law as Duke, and your title will be passed on to your son-in-law. I heard that you also have a very intelligent grandson. When the time comes, I will seal it up together. Ancestors are more majestic, what do you think?"

Jia Zheng really didn't expect to adopt his son to the neighbor next door, so he suddenly realized, "What you said is, I'll go back and handle this matter."

"Don't worry about this matter. You have the final say on your family's affairs. In addition, Jia Zhen has not been buried yet. It is too urgent to make outsiders look like it. How are you doing with the things I told you? gone?"

"This..." Jia Zheng currently has no way to kill Jia Xun.But he is also a ruthless person, he gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, there is already a charter, just wait for the good news."

"Okay, I'll entrust you with the matter of Jiangnan. If you don't blame me, I won't blame you. I just hope that Zheng Gong won't follow Jia Zhen's path. To be honest, I feel bad when I hear that he died. For a long time, he has been with me as an old man, and our two families are related, Jia Rong used to be my brother-in-law."

Jia Zheng retreated covered in sweat, and when he returned home, he couldn't come up with any ideas, and was restless for several days.

However, after the sudden death of Jia Zhen's father and son next door, Shuntian Mansion and Clan Mansion were as dumb as they were. Not to mention their crimes, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in order to earn more money, made a big fuss about the affairs behind their father and son. manage.

Because the arrangement was too grand, the mansion next door was full of mourning sounds every day, sobbing and sobbing. Although the crying people didn't have any signs of mourning on their faces, the people who took the money to play the music did their best to be worthy of their wages.There is a saying that goes like this, "Thousands of years of pipa and ten thousand years of zither, an erhu for a lifetime, and the sound of the suona ends the whole play." The power of the suona really crushes all musical instruments.Jia Zheng was very annoyed by these suona sounds, but his character of a moral man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and naturally he will not break it easily, especially at the funeral of his nephew and nephew, plus the follow-up plan to adopt his son there. Operation, and he dare not go out of line in his current behavior, for fear that others will say that he is mean.

Because the two mansions were too close to each other, not to mention Jia Zheng, even the others were too disturbed by the non-stop sound of gongs, drums, suona and na to take a good rest.Shi Taijun was getting old, and it was the time when he couldn't hear the music, and he was in a bad mood recently because of the division of the clan. A few nights ago, he dreamed of Jia Daishan who had passed away for many years, and he couldn't help but think too much.Call the youngest son to come and explain the funeral.

"I've been dreaming about my old man for the past few days. I'm afraid it won't be long. Now that the family is broken, your father is angry. He wants to call me over to scold him to relieve his anger."

Before she finished speaking, Jia Zheng fell to the ground and cried loudly, yelling to prevent Shi Taijun from continuing, "The old lady is only disturbed by the funeral in the East Mansion, so she has this dream. His funeral is over... By the way... Baoyu's daughter-in-law is going to give birth in a few days, and she is still counting on the old lady to take care of his child."

Having said that, Shi Taijun's spirit was shaken, "Yes, I will die and watch Baoyu's child grow up. If the old man is angry, let him go. Sooner or later, I will go underground to meet him, not at this moment. Baoyu's children are what matter."

Jia Zheng looked carefully at Shi Taijun's face and knew that he really thought so. He was very happy and stood up quickly, thinking of pulling Baoyu over these few days to accompany the old lady.Elderly people like to think wildly when no one is with them.

While Jia Gu was looking forward to it, Jiangnan's letter finally arrived.The couple opened the letter and read "...the scandal on the 24th, the Qi family gave birth to a son, weighing seven catties, both mother and child are safe..."

Mrs. Tong put her palms together quickly, and thanked Sanqing and Buddha Tathagata.Jia Gu was also relieved a lot in his heart, and what he had to worry about next was whether the three of them, the mother and the child, would be able to return safely.After reading the letter and stacking it up, she heard that Mrs. Tong had already started to thank the heavenly kings and Bodhisattvas of all walks of life, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth a few times.

"Which god are you thanking? Well, how can you thank both Buddhism and Taoism?"

"What do you know, it is natural to thank whichever god you wish to be blessed with, no matter whose family it is, as long as you can keep my grandson safe, I will sincerely thank you."

"Then why are you thanking so much, are you not afraid of making mistakes?"

"It's true that I worshiped more gods a while ago, and I don't know which way I used my strength. I thank you today, and I don't want to offend."

Ignorant woman!

But it was such a woman who spent her whole life with him. Jia Gu stuffed the letter to Mrs. Tong, hugged her head and kissed her on the forehead, "Don't thank the gods, thank me very much, I just took a picture." Many people go to the south of the Yangtze River, which makes the strength really great."

"Go away, old man, you thought it was 30 years ago, and you can't say thank you when you see your old face. Go away, I'll take out the shoes I made for you, no need to thank you, let It’s better if you go out brighter.”

Mrs. Tong rekindled a new enthusiasm for life. She began to prepare a baby room for her little grandson in her son's yard. She boiled the close-fitting fabric and hammered it repeatedly to make the fabric very soft. I haven't seen my parents for several years, and I plan to move her to my son's yard to live with his daughter-in-law.Playing crazy in the North, the two granddaughters are coming back, and the eldest grandson will come back with his mother.

Thinking about it this way, "Oh, our family is full of children running around, that's great."

Staying awake in the middle of the night, insisting on taking people to the warehouse to pick out fabrics, making clothes for grandchildren and making tents, quilts and mattresses...

Jia Gu himself was too lazy to wash his feet and fell asleep. When his grandchildren came back, he should be happy. At this time, he was just happy.

Not only Mrs. Tong was happy for her grandchildren, but the concubine Xian in the palace was also very happy. The day when her son got married was just around the corner, but the concubine Ji who served him was pregnant. Dressed up, he found out that the emperor was with the queen, after much thought, he went to announce the good news.

In recent years, perhaps because the emperor is getting older, besides his arrogance becoming more and more domineering day by day, his attitude towards the harem has also become indifferent.There are no newcomers in the palace in the past year. Except for the queen who often goes to sit there, he doesn't like to talk to the concubines on other days. Many women in the harem see the concubine and the concubine die, and when they become the next concubine , the emperor suddenly said that he would not play with you anymore, I am going to be a good emperor.

Among them, Concubine Xian is not the saddest one. She is too old to compete with the younger concubines. The reason why she is looking forward to seeing the emperor is also to contribute to her son's plan.

Her carriage was parked outside the queen's bedroom. After the maid informed her, she went in carefully. She saw the queen holding the nineteenth prince and talking to the emperor. The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face and eyes The fruit amuses the nineteenth prince.

Alas, the husband's wife and concubine have children, which is weird and legitimate.

After Concubine Xian entered, the smile on the emperor's face faded, "What's the matter with Concubine Ai?"

"It's great news to answer your words," Concubine Xian laughed flamboyantly, "Lao Qi's Concubine Ji is pregnant."

This is indeed good news. The emperor, who has no shortage of sons, has no grandsons yet. After hearing this, his smile became more sincere. "Go back and reward Lao Qi's concubine Ji well, and send someone to take good care of her, and give birth to the emperor's grandson, which is also her credit. By the way, I will also be a father to let Lao Qi come to me tomorrow. , don't jump off like in the past, I told him well, he should stand up after being a father and a wife, these few days I will see what things he can do in the court, give him He found a job and started a family and a business, and this is what happened in the past two years."

The surprise came too suddenly for Concubine Xian, so she quickly knelt down and saluted the emperor and empress. The empress asked the nineteenth prince to be taken away from her arms, her expression remained unchanged. In her opinion, this excitement had nothing to do with her .

When Concubine Xian went back, she couldn't restrain her excitement. She thought that the emperor kept preventing Lao Qi from entering the court because of the eccentricity and the few cubs left by the concubine. Looking at it now, she still values ​​the eldest son .

Before returning to the palace, she called her confidant maid to the front in the long corridor, bent down on the carriage frame and told her, "Go to Lao Qi's palace and give the waiter a good beat. Shi gave birth to the child, and today she entrusted the blessing of the child in her womb, without him, the emperor would not be so happy."

This court lady has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she naturally understands that the master does not want the concubines in the seventh emperor's womb to be jealous and cause trouble. Mirror flowers and water moon.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant knows what to do."
