Jia Jing, national teacher of the Red Chamber

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jia Jing pulled Jia Zhen to sit down beside the bed and asked.

Jia Zhen sobbed, and said: "Probably because my father went to the south of the Yangtze River for more than a month. There was news in the palace that my father had poisoned the emperor. My son was terrified and didn't know what to do. The Rong Mansion next door was in trouble." Looking at the hot towel that Jia Jing handed over, he recalled: "The day my son heard the news, he just wanted to go to Rongfu to discuss with the old lady..."

Rong Fu heard the news together with Jia Zhen. The old lady and the two sons were frightened. After thinking about it for a day, they counted all the old families of Jia's family, but found that no one could be there. Talking about this matter, the old lady secretly hated Jia Jing for not living up to expectations, and at the same time sighed that the Jia family is over this time.

The boss, Jia She, yelled that this was the crime of punishing the nine clans, and said that it took eight lifetimes of misfortune to share such a relative.

The second child, Jia Zheng, just sighed, thinking that Jia Jing helped him cure Jia Zhu's illness after all, so he didn't say much.

The Rong Mansion was in panic for a long time, and at night, Yuan Chun, who had become the concubine of the Seventh Prince, suddenly sent someone dressed as a little eunuch holding a piano to pass the message.The central meaning is only two points, one, the Seventh Prince is having fun; two, hurry up and draw a clear line with Jia Jing, so that the eldest girl can deal with it in the palace.

How to draw a clear line with Jia Jing?The old lady made a decisive decision to divide the sect!It's just that how to divide it is also particular.At present, Mother Jia didn't care about the darkness, she was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so she gave careful instructions and personally took Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, the housekeeper Mrs. Wang, and several loyal servants and strong women to Ningfu.Mrs. Wang was startled, and before she had time to think about it, she was dragged along.

Knocking on the side door of Ning Mansion, when Jia Zhen saw so many people, she thought they were here to recruit him, but she didn't expect that Jia She's first words would be, "Nephew, now that we have reached such a point, in order not to Let our Jia family be destroyed, we can only divide the clan."

Jia Zhen was stunned for a moment, and was dragged to the ancestral hall of the Jia clan by the people of the Rong Mansion in a daze.All the portraits of ancestors were offered in the lobby. Looking at the ancestors in full clothes and holding big knives, Jia Zhen suddenly came to her senses, "You guys! Say it again in front of the ancestors!" Jia Zhen is Jia's The patriarch of the clan, without his consent, who can divide the clan!

Jia Amnesty stopped talking, he was the one who was poked out, and he did all the things that offended people in the family.Jia Zheng's mouth was stupid, but he was empty-minded and lacking in strength. Jia's mother looked around and went into battle in person.

"You call me an old lady. Today, my old lady will rely on the old to sell the old." Jiamu sighed and continued: "Your father was arrested by decree for poisoning the emperor. It is a last resort to divide the clan, so as to save the entire Jia family from being arrested." It's all over. Think about it, after the sect is divided, the Rong Mansion is still there, so we can deal with it in the future. Even if there are any accidents in the future, my Jia family will not be extinct."

Jia Zhen also used her brain now and then, so she felt that although the old lady's words sounded reasonable on the surface, they could not stand up to scrutiny. If his father really poisoned the emperor, it would be a serious crime for the Zhujiu Clan. Branches don't work.Thinking of this, Jia Zhen sneered, and her words were not so polite. "Old lady, you're getting old, I'm not that stupid. Fenzong? You can't write two Jia characters in one stroke. If my father really poisoned the emperor, can you escape?"

Jia Mu's face changed slightly, she originally thought it was an easy thing but Jia Zhen refuted it, she thought for a while, and then said: "Why are you so stubborn, child, we are all a family, and I am doing this for your own good. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm still old with the late emperor. I've given up my old life, and with the credits, I can say a few words. If you first ask yourself to be a patriarch, and ask yourself for your crimes, compared to the future punishment It will be lighter, too."

Jia Zhen remembered what his father said, "The old lady is just one of the ten wet nurses. If it weren't for her being the daughter-in-law of Rong Guogong, she wouldn't even be a wet nurse." "Old lady, your good idea is nothing more than sacrificing my Ning Mansion, and then preserving Rong Mansion. To tell you the truth, my ancestors of Ning Mansion also had meritorious deeds. Pleading guilty in front of you will definitely not be cheap for you!"

Mother Jia took several breaths of air, and said, "To tell you the truth, the eldest girl in our family is about to make progress. For the bright future of my Rongfu, you have to agree today, and there is nothing you can do if you don't agree." .”

"Good! Good!" Jia Zhen was so angry that she knelt down in front of the altar and said, "In front of the ancestors, I want to see how you can make me agree!"

The old lady looked left and right, winked, and immediately a capable servant came up to grab Jia Zhen. At this moment, suddenly a person from the crowd jumped out and shouted: "I am Jiao Da here, who dares to be presumptuous!"

I saw that Jiao Da was holding a wooden stick and waving it around. Several servants were caught off guard and Jia Zhen was rescued by him.

However, there are so many people in Rongguo Mansion. Those who have errands and stayed up at this point are all rough envoys and people who went to the night. They were all frightened by what Jia Mu said about Jia Jing poisoning the emperor. One dared to stand up, so several servants of the Rong Mansion were stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward again.

Although Jiao Da fought with Ning Guogong in the early years, he is still an old man after all, a few years older than Jia Mu, but after a few strokes, he was held down again.

If Jia Mu is an activist, she was fully prepared before she came. She had asked Jia Zheng to write a letter of apology, surrender of the patriarch, and surrender of the Ning Mansion, and she directly followed Jia Zhen's red handprint.

Jia Zhen followed the light of the torch, saw the three pieces of paper clearly, and shouted: "You are deceiving people too much, how can you let your ancestors out!"

Someone had given the paper to Mother Jia long ago, so she should keep it safe for herself.She put the folded pieces into her purse and said, "This is also for the prosperity of my Jia clan."

Although Jiao Da is a slave, he is well-informed and understands things after all. Seeing Jia Zhen being forced to press his fingerprints and hearing his anger, he can guess what the three pieces of paper are.He struggled unceasingly, and when everyone in the Rong Mansion saw that the event had been decided, they gave Jiao Da a little in their hands, and Jiao Da broke free. He shouted angrily at Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng, "You guys You sons of the kings, you grandsons who have forgotten your ancestors, let me see what face you have to go to see your grandfather!" After speaking, Jiao Da bumped his head against the desk, bleeding from his head on the spot, convulsed a few times and then died.

Everyone was stunned.

At this moment, a cry of surprise was heard not far away, and Mrs. Wang turned her head to see that her son, who had begun to improve, fell to the ground!Mrs. Wang hurried over, "Pearl! Pearl!" Seeing that Jia Zhu's face turned gray again, Mrs. Wang was terrified.There was a rush at the moment, and I went to send someone to carry the sedan chair.Mrs. Wang was reluctant to let go of Jia Zhu and gave Jia Zheng a wink, but Jia Zheng ignored it as if he hadn't realized it.

Mrs. Wang knelt down in front of Jiamu again, weeping softly and said: "Mother, for Zhu'er, you have to let Ning Mansion live! Uncle gave Zhu'er a prescription, and it will be ready soon... If Uncle has What, what can Pearl do!"

Mother Jia looked at Jia Zhu who was still lying on the ground, and thought that he was so good that he could come to pay his respects every day. Even if he fainted today, an ordinary doctor would probably be able to see him. The imperial physician could also be invited, so he said ruthlessly: "For Zhu'er's sake, I will intercede for him more in the future!"

There was no suspense about what happened next, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong Xichun were kicked out of Ning Mansion.Jia Mu hesitated between detaining them and driving them away, but driving them away clearly had the upper hand.When they left, they had nothing but the clothes on their bodies, Jia Zhenjia Rong knew nothing, and Xichun was only one year old, everyone knew what Rongfu was up to.

First, if they can escape, the government will not be able to find anyone to convict them, and second, the three of them have no ability to survive at all. When the bodies are found, it can be said that they committed suicide in fear of crime. The more they suffer, the more miserable their death will be. Only the emperor can have a little sympathy, and the better he will treat the Rongfu and the empresses in the palace in the future.

When Jia's mother returned to Rongfu, she was terrified when she thought of the scene of Jiao Da's death. She hurriedly put a few more sticks of incense on Jia Daishan, and said, "I'm doing this for the good of Jia's family. It's better to go halfway than to implicate the whole family."

Jia Zhen cried while talking, and said: "It's a good thing my sister still has a jade pendant around her neck. We pawned it to support me until now. Father!" Jia Zhen cried and fell on Jia Jing, and Rong'er and Xichun also cooperated. Weeping loudly.

"The son thinks about seeing his father before he dies, and dying together!" Jia Zhen choked up halfway through crying, because his father scoured his face with a hot towel.After wiping it hard three times to wipe off the tears and dust on her face, and taking two more mouthfuls of hot soup, Jia Zhen came back to her senses.

Wasn't his father escorted to Beijing for poisoning the emperor? This doesn't look like it.The conditions are a bit crude and true, but he has never heard of prisoners with clean quilts and hot towels to wipe their faces in such an old age, and the soup his father handed him just now had meat in it.

Jia Zhen was so confused that she forgot to cry. At this moment, a soldier came in, holding two quilts in her hands, and said, "Mr. Jia, this place is simple, and we can only make out two quilts."

Jia Jing nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

After all the outsiders had left, Yu Shan also said to go outside to watch the night. Jia Zhen pulled Jia Jing's sleeve and asked, "Father, what's going on?"

Jia Jing smiled and said: "It's good to divide the sect, so as to save trouble in the future, but you have been wronged now, and we will get it back bit by bit in the future... just a lot more!"

"They?" Jia Zhen turned her head to look at the direction where the officer and soldier left, and then turned her head to look at his father, "This is?"

"You forgot what your father does!" Jia Jing's voice was very peaceful, "Your father is good at fortune-telling, alchemy and praying for rain."

Jia Zhen still didn't understand, she still looked at the door and then at his father.Just because of this?This is the great crime of poisoning the emperor!

Jia Jing laughed again, what if someone could know everything about you from childhood to adulthood? "Are you afraid of thunder?" he asked Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen shook her head and nodded again.

"That's right." Jia Jing said: "If they disrespect your father, God will punish them."

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Jia Jing opened the quilt and said, "I'll sleep on the outside, and let Rong'er and Xichun sleep in the middle."

Jia Zhen fell asleep leaning against the wall, seeing her father's flawless face, never felt so at ease.
