Old things in the Red Chamber

Chapter 220 Traveling Together 6

At this very moment, in Master Jia's mind, all he could think about was what would happen after these two people found him.

There are two purposes for any illegitimate child to come to the door. The first is to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan.The second is to use family power to achieve their own goals.The two old men in front of them are relatively old. If they want to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, they might have appeared here decades ago.Thinking about this time, they most likely want to borrow the power of the Rongguo Mansion.Thinking of this, Mr. Jia relaxed, and pretended to take a sip of water while holding the cup.

"I don't know why the two of you are here"?

The two old brothers sitting next to each other didn't need to look at each other to know that they both looked disgusted at the people in front of them.

Jia Amnesty answered at the time, "There is no purpose, I just came here for a walk."

Mr. Jia certainly didn't believe his words, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. You two should be my elder brothers at your age. If you can help, I will definitely not leave it alone."

"I heard that all the power in the Rongguo Mansion is with Jia Lao Er. We are really in trouble. Can you help?" Jia Gu said this deliberately, and it was no surprise that the man in front of him was really angry.

After getting angry, he became angry from embarrassment, "You two ordinary people dare to come to talk to me, no matter how bad you are, I am still a first-class general..."

Jia Shen whispered to BB on the side, "I was also a first-class general at that time."

Jia Gu said it generously, "I became a general when I was 30 years old. I brought 5 horses under my command. I rushed to the Longting of the Huns and chased and killed the Huns for more than 200 miles."

Of course Mr. Jia would not think what the two of them said was true. In his impression, there were no such two people in the imperial court as officials, so he snorted with a straight face, "What is the reason for the two of you to come to the capital?" For what purpose?"

"Didn't you just say that? We really have no other purpose here."

Even if there were other purposes, they were dismissed early on here.

Grandpa Jia snorted and stood up and turned away. Jia Gu looked at his back and narrowed his eyes, then turned to ask his elder brother, "What do you mean by that?"

People say that the one who knows me best is me. Jia She thought for a while, "If it were me, I don't know if these two people who suddenly appeared will bring more benefits than harm to my family, so I must go back and discuss it. In other words, he went back to find the old lady."

After finishing speaking, I asked my brother quite sadly, "Otherwise, let's stay here for a few more days, maybe the old lady will let the two of us go to their house in a few days, don't you say that in the past few years, I will I almost forgot what the old lady looked like."

"It's much easier to enter here from Zhuangzi, but we can't let others know, listen to me, let's go back in a while, come back after a while, our face is wandering on the street, people in Rongguo Mansion will definitely Stare at us."

The two closed the door, hid the antiques, and returned to Jia Gu's Zhuangzi again.

The two old brothers who came back discussed together what to bring when they went next time.

"It doesn't matter what you bring. I want to see my son and daughter. There is no Jia Lian here. Last time I saw that young Jia Lian, I also felt quite comforted in my heart. Find a way for me to meet the second girl."

Jia Gu rolled his eyes at him, seeing that you said the second girl was so smooth, didn't you talk about the imperial concubine and the empress dowager every few years!

But thinking that the elder brother did lose a pair of children in his prime, it was sad, so Jia Gu quickly agreed to this matter.

"It's very simple for you to meet a little girl raised by someone else. Only when you go as an elder, the little girl will come out to see you." Jia Gu thought for a while while pulling his beard, "You can now see what the old man left behind. Is there any? Let's come to recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors."

While recalling his collection, Jia She asked him in amazement, "Aren't you unwilling to recognize your ancestors and return to them even if you were beaten to death? Why do you suddenly think about it now?"

"I didn't think about it, I couldn't think about it for the rest of my life, and I didn't plan to think about it in the future. I'm talking about you. You are the eldest son of their family. It doesn't matter to you to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan." It's embarrassing. So it's up to you to do it, and I'll let it go."

The two discussed and discussed, but did not agree on specific steps. They only took some beautiful cloth jewelry and went to the world over there again.

The two packed up their things and opened the door, only to find a greeting card stuffed in the crack of the door. They picked up the card and looked at it, only to find that it was an invitation card, but the person who posted it was not Rongguo Mansion or Ningguo Mansion. The head of the government is the Jia family instead.

"Look at him, isn't he making a move?" Jia Gu stuffed the greeting card into the arms of the elder brother, "I thought about it, let's come to the door openly, say what should be said and what should not be said. , By the way, you take out the things that our relatives left before. This is the proof that we came to recognize relatives."

The two of them went back to tidy up, and the old man left a lot of things back then, but there were not many that could be used as evidence.

"Except for this dagger, nothing else can be directly counted as evidence, after all, there is no mark on it."

Anything with a family mark will not be easily left outside, especially one day someone came to the door with a thing with a family mark and said that he had some agreement with the owner of the thing, and the people in the family received it. Nine times out of ten, after this thing, you have to do what others say. This is a promise.Especially those sons and lords, who have been taught this truth since they were young, that money can be thrown out in large quantities, but anything with a family mark cannot be easily given away to others.

The two of them wrapped the dagger with a piece of silk, and after thinking for a while that there was nothing wrong with it, they walked up to the gate of Rongguo Mansion with the dagger in their arms.

When you walk to Ningrong Street, you can find that it is very quiet here. Ningrong and Rongfu occupy a large area, and this family is very domineering. They don't allow people to pass by on the street in front of their house. Two people walked into Ningrong After walking down the street for a long time, I saw three gates with animal heads, and the plaque on the gates was written with the words "Zao Rongguo Mansion".

Looking down again, there are seven or eight servants dressed in silk and satin sitting inside the gate. I don't know what happy things they are talking about. The old man standing on the steps didn't even look at it.

Jia Gu stood there, looking at them coldly, "Get up and report, and say that Jia Gu and his brother visited the old lady of your mansion together."

When he said this, the people next to him found that there were two big living people standing at the door, and they stood up like men, and walked outside in a show of power. These people looked at the appearance of these two old men and winked at each other. One of the people pointed outside and said to the two people, "You two want to see our old lady, and you are going to post posts on the back street. This place in front is for men."

After hearing this sentence, Jia Gu sneered, "Think of us brothers as country bumpkins who have never seen the world, hurry up and report, if the report is late..."

After finishing speaking, the gate guards at the gate laughed loudly, "I'll tell you, old boy, I didn't scare your grandpa too much."

This sentence made Jia Gu so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He has never experienced such a useless attitude in most of his life. Even the civil and military ministers in the court would respect him after seeing him, even if some people looked down on him in the early years. Ye, never been so rude.

Jia Gu rolled up his sleeves, "Don't look at me as an old man, it's like playing with you guys."

The older brother standing behind him grabbed him, "Brother, no matter what, this door was left by our father, and now we are calling...You should think about it, how do we face our father under the nine springs?"

Jia Gu thought you made a mistake, right?In our place, Rongguo Mansion has long been a thing of the past, and it has nothing to do with this place.However, Jia She took his arm, took a step forward, and took out a handful of things wrapped in silk, "Go and explain to the old lady, we have something left by the old man to prove that we are not here today. If you want to ask for justice, or if you want to recognize your ancestors, you just... think about coming to your father's house now that you are old, and even if you die in the future, you will have no regrets."

After reading it, the silk and satin were uncovered, and a dagger was exposed. "Take it to your old lady to see if it is something left by the old man."

Someone picked up this thing and ran into the yard, and the two old brothers walked down the steps together. Jia Gu suddenly remembered something, "You see, as I am getting older, I don't think about cause and effect. You have something, maybe the one here has it too, two identical things..."

"Don't worry bro, I've lived here for so many years, and I know what they think in their hearts. They think they are rich and powerful families, and since the old man passed away, they want to abandon martial arts and follow literature. I think it is a scholarly family, so I don't care about what the old man left behind, so I don't care about some armor and weapons that my husband used back then. Maybe these treasures are rusting in the old lady's warehouse now, and The old lady who has seen these things may have forgotten all these things."

Jia Gu thought it was true. The two stood outside the gate for a long time. Seeing the sun go up and no one came out, Jia Gu touched his elder brother's arm and helped him to sit down on the steps. "When you get old, don't stand upright, just sit for a while."

For an old man like Jia She, who is used to rich food and clothing, this time is indeed extremely uncomfortable. He is hungry, tired and thirsty. The most important thing is that he has become the emperor from his grandson. Don't look at the old dude when he was young. With a good reputation, no matter where you go when you get older, people will scramble to curry favor with you.If it weren't for the fact that he was really old, and he would have diarrhea the next day after eating something good and drinking something good, he would still be living a drunken life like before.

"Don't say that I just left our place for a few days, I miss my two grandsons."

"After seeing the old lady of this family, let's go back. This place is very good. After all, it is not our home."

Jia Amnesty nodded, and was still about to speak, when he heard footsteps coming from behind, and the door that he had just entered to announce ran out, "Our old lady invites two old gentlemen to go in."
