Jia Jing, national teacher of the Red Chamber

The Rongguo Mansion is still waiting for Yuanchun's will to seal the concubine, and it has been waiting since the day after Yuanchun sent back the news.

The boss, Jia Amnesty, was the most impatient one. From the second day on, he couldn't stop muttering in front of Jia Mu. At the beginning, Jia Mu patiently explained to him: "Look, the will of the concubine has to wait until seven It’s too early to have a prince.” Later, Jia’s mother became impatient, “The late emperor hasn’t even had a funeral yet! Bah, bah, this is a taboo! Anyway, wait until the bell in the palace rings and it’s almost a month later! "

Jia Zheng still went to the Ministry of Industry every day, but the Minister of the Ministry of Industry hadn't shown up for a long time.Mrs. Wang didn't say a word at home, except to greet Jia's mother every day, she was in Jia Zhu's yard. Jia Zhu hadn't been well since seeing the blood that night.The doctor said that he was "frightened and blown by the wind, and the heat evil was trapped in the body under the shock, but because the person is too weak, he can't relieve it or replenish it, so let's take it easy." Finally, the doctor shook his head and added, " Just do your best."

Therefore, Mrs. Wang even hated Li Wan, "You're the only husband! Don't take a good look at it! How could you let him run out in the middle of the night!"

Li Wan was also very wronged, "just a husband" made her extremely ashamed, but she could only listen to her mother-in-law's lectures, and could not refute at all. In fact, since Jia Zhu fell ill, she has been sleeping with Jia Zhu in separate rooms for more than half a year. Besides, how could she have the right to look at the husband.

Mrs. Wang scolded Li Wan and didn't finish, she beat the big maids in Jia Zhu's house in front of everyone in the courtyard, and paid for it.He changed the maid in his own room to take care of Jia Zhu, but Jia Zhu became weaker day by day, and all the meat he had managed to raise was consumed.

Jia Jing didn't come back, even if he came back, Mrs. Wang would not see him.There was nothing to do, and the small Buddhist hall in Mrs. Wang's yard began to emit green smoke again. She also said that Jia Zhu had no one to take care of her, so she slowly taught Wang Xifeng about the housekeeper, and sent her companion Zhou Rui's family to follow Wang Xifeng .

But for twenty days, Mrs. Wang completely fell silent.

Finally, the death knell in the palace sounded.Everyone in the Rong Mansion was surprised and delighted, Yuan Chun was about to join the master's wife, and those troublesome guys in the Ning Mansion didn't know where they were going, they were finally going to prosper!The whole family got ready in an orderly manner. Mother Jia said that after three days, those with titles or orders should go to the palace for funerals.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Mrs. Wang sent Jia Mu, Jia She and Mrs. Xing to go out. Before going out, all three of them poured a cup of thick ginseng soup, saying that today is a critical moment and they should not embarrass their ancestors. , and can't embarrass the master and empress.Before leaving, Mother Jia comforted Mrs. Wang and said, "Don't worry, when Yuanchun's concubine's decree comes down, you will at least be ordered by the third rank, and you will be able to enter the palace next time to thank you."

When the three of them left, they went out by themselves. Although Mother Jia was a bit older, she was in good health and was used to making decisions, so she seemed to be in better spirits than Madam Jia Shexing.But when she came back at night, Mrs. Xing's wrist was pinched green by Jia Mu. Jia Amnesty came in shaking her legs, and Jia Mu was simply dragged in by two or three women.Madam Xing and Jia She did not say a word, and Mother Jia poured another bowl of thick ginseng soup before saying anything, "Go! Go and clean up the Ning Mansion!"

Mrs. Wang took advantage of Jia Mu being surrounded by people, and Jia She sat on the side in annoyance and didn't know what to think. She winked at Mrs. Xing, who was obviously still out of the situation and looked a little heartless, and told her to come out.The two came out of Jia Mu's yard, and they didn't dare to go far, so they found a quiet place at the back door of Rongxi Hall and started talking secretly.

Mrs. Xing shook her arms, and said with a hint of excitement in her voice, "I saw the grandfather next door and your nephew Jia Zhen today."

"Ah?" Mrs. Wang was surprised and delighted that Zhu'er was saved.She hurriedly suppressed her excitement, her face was dull, and she asked slowly: "But what did you say, why did the old lady become like this?"

Before Mrs. Xing could say anything, Zhou Rui's family rushed to call, saying that it was Mother Jia calling for someone.

Mrs. Wang looked left and right, and happened to be a little maid carrying hot water that had just been boiled to let her go. Mrs. Wang stopped them and asked Zhou Rui's family to carry the hot water, and they went back to Jia Mu's flower hall.

Mother Jia had something on her mind, and she didn't pay much attention to Mrs. Xing at first, so she didn't notice that she went out, and when she saw Mrs. Wang coming in with hot water, she didn't care too much, and said, "Come and sit down, wait a while." When your husband comes, I have something to say."

Mrs. Xing had a smile on her face, and was about to go up to pour water for Jia Mu, but Jia Mu said, "Why are you still here?"

Mrs. Xing fell silent immediately, and left unhappily. Jia She glanced at her and didn't say much.

Not long after, Jia Zheng came in a hurry. Mother Jia looked around and said, "You two didn't go today. I don't know that something happened in the palace."

Jia Mu stretched out her hand to make a gesture of six, and said, "This is the one who succeeds, and the two next door are both in the palace." Jia Mu's face was very puzzled, "How can he be in the mourning hall? "

Seeing the expressions of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang who were still puzzled, Jia's mother said: "Jia Jing next door is kneeling in the mourning hall, with the princes. As for Jia Zhen, she walked with the courtiers, and I just stayed away." Looking at it, there seemed to be a lot of people around."

When Jia's mother said this, she gave Jia She a fierce look, "You haven't found out any news all day!"

Jia Amnesty was a little unconvinced, and distinguished: "The ones who can stay with me are from families similar to ours. They can't go to court, and they don't have any sources of news. Where can I find out."

Jia Amnesty meant that the speaker had no intentions, but Jia's mother had intentions when she heard it.She asked: "Second brother, have you heard any news? The one next door...is it connected to someone's house?"

Jia Zheng really thought about it honestly before saying, "I don't have such news from there."

"Then what's going on?" Mother Jia couldn't figure it out, Yuan Chun obviously said that Jia Jing poisoned the emperor.

To say that the emperor died, and the princes were fighting endlessly for the throne. This was only known to the officials who were able to go to the court that day. Moreover, since these people have achieved the official positions that can go to the court, they are naturally cautious. Vaguely explain that there should be no troubles in the family recently, the dust has not yet settled, so of course it can't be publicized.

As for the succession of the sixth prince, my God, it was decided three days ago, and only the ten people in the hall knew what was going on.In theory, the former emperor had just passed away, and the new emperor had just ascended the throne, so the management was very strict, and it would take at least a year and a half before anyone dared to say anything about gossip.

The Jia family is not as promising as the previous two generations. The eldest son, Jia She, has no real job, and the second son, Jia Zheng, is too small to be an official, so no one rushes over to deliver the news.

Mother Jia thought about the past, looked at the two sons who were essentially unworthy, sighed, and asked, "What do you think of the second son's family?"

The most important thing in Mrs. Wang's heart is her Pearl, so she said: "Mother, can you clearly see the service on them?"

Jia's mother recalled: "They were all wrapped in white cloth, so I couldn't see clearly, and Jia Zhen was far away. I only glanced at Brother Jing when I kowtowed to the late emperor. He seemed to be..." Turning his head, looking at the portrait of Jia Daishan hanging in the center of the side hall, he said, "Duke! He has been promoted to Duke!"

The memory became clearer, "I looked back when I left, what the Seventh Prince said to him, the expression on his face...as if begging him!"

Jia Mu was overjoyed, took Mrs. Wang's hand, patted it again, and said, "You still have an idea." After she finished speaking, she called out loudly: "Mandarin duck, mandarin duck, bring the box next to my pillow."

Not long after, Yuanyang put down the box and left without even looking up.

Mother Jia took out a bunch of keys from her waist, tremblingly held them up to her eyes and looked at them one by one, then picked out a key with acacia engraved on it and opened the box.

The inside of the box is full of paper, with words densely written on it.Mother Jia skimmed the top one, and took out three sheets from top to bottom, with red handprints on them, which seemed to be the three sheets that Jia Zhen was forced to press when she drove Jia Zhen out that day.

Seeing Mother Jia take out the three papers, the faces of the three people present all changed color.

Jia Mu looked and looked at the three papers over and over again, and sighed silently. Suddenly, she held the papers on top of the candle, and the flames burst out, burning the papers to ashes immediately.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Jia She asked.He had already taken a fancy to the fan in Jia Zhen's hand. If it hadn't been for the way Jiao Da crashed to death that day, and he died in front of his ancestors, and he had to chant scriptures for seven, seven, and 49 days to dissipate his resentment, he would have sent someone a long time ago. Go get the fan back.

Mother Jia glared at him, and waited until the three pieces of paper were burned clean before speaking. "That's reassuring."

Jia Zheng also asked, "Isn't this a certificate of division? Why did my mother burn him?"

"Confused! Without the seal of the government, this branch cannot be divided!" Seeing that Mrs. Wang was the only one among the three who did not speak, Jia's mother knew that she was the only one who understood what she meant. "I was just giving back to our Rongfu. If someone wants to pursue him in the future, we have something to say. Although Jia Zhen is the patriarch, in the face of righteousness, the patriarch can't be counted. Although our Rongfu is disrespectful Patriarch, but your loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon.”

After Jia's mother finished speaking, she glanced at her two sons and asked, "Do you two understand?"

After a while, no one made a sound, "Then this case is not divided?" Jia Zheng asked in a low voice.

Mother Jia glared at him, "Who said we are going to divide the clan? We can't write two Jia characters in one stroke! Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong are two brothers of the same mother. How to divide, how to divide?"

Seeing Jia Zheng's questioning, Jia Amnesty became more courageous. He said, "What if Jia Zhen comes to you in the future?"

Mother Jia smiled, "That day I heard that Brother Jing had changed. Jia Zhen was worried about my father, so she went to look for it in secret. We are only temporarily managing the Ning Mansion, and Jia Zhen can only speak if he can produce evidence. "

Mother Jia looked at the ashes and emphasized: "Today's events must not be revealed! There is another day... Alas, it's a pity for those loyal servants, and there are a few from Ningfu, you take people to... "

"Madam! Madam!" Someone from outside rushed in without hesitation. It was Jin Chuan'er, the eldest maid beside Mrs. Wang. Several servant girls.

As soon as she recognized her voice, Mrs. Wang turned pale.

Jin Chuaner rushed to Mrs. Wang and knelt down, kowtowed and cried, "Brother Zhu has gone!"

"Ah! My Pearl!" Mrs. Wang stood up abruptly, then fell back again, and she fainted.
