Old things in the Red Chamber

Jia Gu watched Mrs. Tong packing his son's luggage, and angrily thumped the table, "I've never been so useless before."

Mrs. Tong hurriedly looked outside and pinched Jia Gu, "Keep your voice down, I heard that the emperor put people in the homes of every honorable minister to collect news that is not good for the royal family. Be careful that walls have ears."

Even the partition wall has ears. It seems that it has improved in the past few years.Jia Gu smiled, "If it's really that powerful, why doesn't he know that his own sister is stealing people?"

Mrs. Tong sat next to him, "You may not know that if such shameful things are all lifted, their family will be ashamed and won't raise the girls in the family. Just watch, princesses don't think about it in the future." Married to a serious eldest son and grandson. Those prodigal nobles who flirt with big girls and young wives on the street are good candidates."

Jia Gu admitted that Mrs. Tong was right. The emperor wanted to control the noble families, and the eldest son and grandson who inherited the title were the target of his marriage. The Supreme Emperor failed to implement this big move. The eldest princess was making trouble in the middle, and the emperor was so angry that he wanted to tear her apart.

"You're right. This is not the Northland. It's not a place where we are domineering. Although our family employs generals, people's hearts cannot be fully trusted." Jia Gu stood up, "You clean up first. , I will take a look at my son's injuries later, and I will go to the front yard to talk to some gentlemen."

"Go, go, you guys are discussing big things, and I can take care of small things at home, so you don't have to worry about them."

Mrs. Tong watched Jia Gu go out of the Moon Gate, tied the bundle and tied a knot, called some women in, and carried them to the yard of Jia Xun and his wife.

Jia Huan was lying on the bed reading to his son. Jia Nan was fat and sitting next to him. His father read a sentence, and he followed it. He was very cute.

Qi Jingan followed Mrs. Tong at the door, helped her into the house, shielded her from the sunlight with a round fan, walked awkwardly with her belly out.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to see Jia Xun's wound first, and it had scabbed over. Mrs. Tong had never cried a few times in her life. Seeing her son's appearance, she couldn't help it anymore and cried out. Jia Xun was also very sad, " Mother, my son is healed now, don't cry, you will cry every time, my son will be scared."

The nanny took Jia Nan down, and Qi Jingan clutched her stomach and said, "This is also supported by my uncle." The uncle in her mouth was the emperor, "The eunuchs who executed the execution were all trained, and they can beat people half to death with twenty sticks." I carried it home and survived for three days. There was a trick called "catch the lungs", which shattered the internal organs, and only the back was red and swollen. Although the uncle's buttocks are all rotten, the five internal organs are not damaged. Grace comes from above, which is already a grace."

Mrs. Tong almost couldn't help spitting at her daughter-in-law, thinking that my son has provoked someone. It was originally a disaster from the sky. My son has recited the disgusting things they did to the royal family. There is no such unreasonable thing in the world.

Seeing her mother's eyes widening, Jia Xun hurriedly yelled, diverting Mrs. Tong's anger away, and Mrs. Tong hurried forward to ask her warmth. Jia Xun said that she wanted to move just now and stretched the wound.Mrs. Tong hurriedly asked people to go to the warehouse to find medicinal materials, and asked the housekeeper to cut cotton yarn to make trousers for Jia Huan, and turned around a room directed by servants. There are many good medicinal materials, this time I can't sit still and go to the warehouse to look through them myself.

She has done this kind of thing every day since Jia Xun was beaten, mainly because she was afraid of wronging her son, and afraid that the food in his mouth would not be the best, so she had to watch it with her own eyes to be at ease.

Seeing Mrs. Tong leaving the yard like a gust of wind, Jia Huan breathed a sigh of relief. A mother's love is like water, and he couldn't breathe because of the turbulent waves.

Seeing his wife sitting on the embroidered stool at the head of the bed, Jia Xun thought for a while, "It doesn't matter if the baby in your womb is a boy or a girl, we will leave the baby to the mother and take Nan'er away after birth. , taking advantage of his young age, take him to the south to see and see, and when he has accumulated enough knowledge, send him back to his father to raise him, there are many great Confucians in the capital, and there are many generals in our family, so let him be both civil and military."

"I've listened to my uncle about this matter, but Lord Hou and his wife are afraid that Nan'er will be reluctant..."

"I'll tell it myself."

These days, Zhongwuhou's Mansion is more lively than usual. Most of Jia Huan's friends came to visit him. Other nobles in the capital waited and watched for a few days, and found that Princess Huaihe had nothing to say. In addition, this matter was full of loopholes. Many people also understood that Jia Huan suffered an indiscriminate disaster.They sent people to express their condolences, but they didn't say anything clearly, they only said they wanted to visit Jiahou or Mrs. Tong, and they made messy reasons, just to make a good relationship.Jia Gu and his wife met these people one by one. In this circle, if you can't offend others, don't offend them. If you offend them, punish them to death. This is Jia Gu's creed.

The person Shi Taijun sent was her confidant Lai's mother-in-law.On behalf of Shi Taijun and the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Gu came to visit Jia Gu. Jia Gu thought that when women came, they would be seen by his wife. Why did this old man come to see him.

Looking at Jia She next to him, Jia She was studying a metal wine vessel, which was called a jue a long time ago, with animal heads engraved on it, and kept telling Jia Gu science, "This is bronze. I guessed correctly that it should be an old thing from thousands of years ago."

The old dandy's eyes lit up, this precious wine vessel was given to him by his younger brother, and he gave all the good things to him, Jia She was elated, bubbling with happiness.

Jia Gu took the bronze wine vessel from his hand and put it on a small table beside him. "The old lady from the Lai family is here to see me."

"See," the old dandy continued to play with the wine vessel, "the old lady dislikes me, and you dislike Jia's second child. Among the younger generation, I am afraid that Lian'er and Cong'er will overwhelm Baoyu. After thinking about it, no one but her confidants I can still make a trip for her. I must have something to say." Standing up, holding the wine vessel, she walked out, walked a few steps and then turned back, "She probably heard that Xun'er went to Jinling to be an official, I will tell you Said, the old lady sent Mrs. Lai here, and she must tell you something like 'The Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives for many years', just listen to it, we have never been married to the Zhen family at all."

The old dandy has a bit of vision, not just in terms of gold and stone. Jia She, who was brought up as the eldest son, sometimes has a better vision than Jia Zheng.

Jia Gu was convinced of this.

As soon as Nanny Lai came in, she made a big salute first, she dared to get a university in Rongguo Mansion but she didn't dare to put on airs in front of Jia Gu.

Jia Gu didn't even give her a seat, but stared at her for a while, making Nanny Lai tremble all over, and carefully handed over the gift list.

Jia Gu didn't read the gift list, and asked Madam Lai, "Does the old lady of your mansion want to keep the line of Ningguo Mansion?"

Nanny Lai had already made up her mind on the way here. When she met Lord Hou, she first said that the old lady didn't want to eat or drink because of Uncle Xun's affairs, and then said how hard she worked to secretly investigate this matter and give credit for it. Put it out, push out the scapegoat, win the first blow, let Hou Ye be grateful, and then talk about the joint matter, Jiangnan is prosperous, Rongguo Mansion can't make ends meet, if Rongguo Mansion is allowed to follow Zhongwuhou Mansion to reap some benefits, Rongguo Mansion will push Brother Qiang out Let the Zhongwuhou Mansion dispose of it.

Unexpectedly, Master Hou already knew who did the work.

After Nanny Lai broke out in a cold sweat, she quickly adjusted her plan in her mind, thinking about how to regain her own initiative, and flattered Jia Gu, "You are wise, I know that my little master has suffered fifty courts because of this matter." After the cane, the old lady felt sad, she was staring at the men at home even when she was sleeping these days, she really found out..."

Jia Gu looked at the table impatiently, "You are only allowed to say five sentences, pick the ones that are important, and you can get out after you finish."

Nanny Lai hurriedly stepped forward, "The old lady also knows who came up with this idea behind the scenes to ruin the reputation of the young master. In order to prevent the young master from going to Youwuwei, the old lady also said that at this juncture you and The elder master and the second master are both the blood of the old master, so they should work together. Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River is our family's ancestral land. Our family came from my son. That's where the old man got rich. Most of the relatives are in Jinling, let the little master rest assured. Not long after the imperial decree was sent to the south, the old lady sent someone to the south to ask the relatives at home to take care of the little master. By the way, the Zhen family in Jiangnan is Our old relatives..."

"Your five sentences are too much." Jia Gu waved his hand, "Let's go."

"Hou Ye..." Mrs. Lai was mysterious, and she still had something to say. Jia Gu thought whether it was the temptation or the temptation. Not to mention Jia Baoyu, Jia Zheng's son.With a snort, Jia Gui, the housekeeper in the room, lifted Nanny Lai by the collar on the back of her neck and lifted him up.

Jia Xun was lying on the bed in the front yard. He was carried over in a soft bag, knowing that his father had something to say.

"It seems that the emperor already knows who is playing tricks in this matter. There must be a fierce battle when you go to Jinling."

"My son knows, he just told me to go to Jinling, and didn't say anything about his duties, which is eye-catching." Jia Huan moved a little, "Father, as for the matter of the princess of Huaihe River, don't rush to do it. For this matter, my son will take care of it himself."

The bad reputation is already there, so there is no rush to fix it, the rush is to cleanse the bad reputation.It seemed that the son didn't want to clean up his reputation at this time. There were a lot of considerations involved. In the overall situation, he put the emperor's will first, and put his own honor and disgrace last.Jia Gu looked at his son, and nodded in agreement helplessly. His son is Zaohui, and he never reveals his likes and dislikes when it comes to affairs. When he mentioned this matter, his eyes almost burst into flames, but his behavior was different from before. I think he was really angry. .

That's fine, I agreed to my son. After all, my son never showed his anger and anger on his face. This time, it was my son who asked to take a breath later, so he agreed immediately.Looking back, I feel that it is better not to agree. If there is any depression and pain in my heart, it is easy to have a different thought. Otherwise, for thousands of years, people who are underappreciated have always died of depression.

Jia Gu, an old father, was full of ups and downs.

Just when he shook his head and sighed, Jia Gui ran in excitedly, "Master Hou, a nobleman has arrived."

Jia Gu looked at Jia Gui and wondered which nobleman has arrived?Let this guy be so happy, "Isn't it the emperor's arrival, tell me quickly, I haven't changed my clothes yet."

Jia Gui shook his head, the man in his 30s suddenly became a child, "You guessed it, Lord Hou."
