Jia Jing, national teacher of the Red Chamber

The original owner didn't bring many things, and after a year of consumption, there are even fewer things left.Jia Jing didn't know how to wear people's old clothes, so he just found a good excuse, so he ordered Li Shun and others to pack up the old clothes in the middle of the yard, set it on fire, and packed the remaining items into two big boxes , and a box of medicinal materials, all piled up at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Jia Zhenming to pick him up early.

He also specially added joss sticks and other things to the fire, one is to worship the original owner who has been squeezed to nowhere, and the other is that the fire master is burning, so he can also use the flame to do a little divination.The flames in the middle of the courtyard were burning fiercely, one flame was higher than the other flame, and there was no black smoke at all, which was a very good omen. He must be seeking wealth and power to gain power if he left this Xuanzhen view.

Jia Jing had something on his mind, thinking of leaving this remote Taoist temple and returning to the capital, he was finally one step closer to the center of power.He lay his pillow on the Yannian Yishou pill that he had newly made, and slept comfortably until dawn, until Jia Zhen came to pick him up.So it is still beneficial to dress up as an old man, at least the one waiting at the door will definitely not be me.

But the life of everyone in Ning Mansion is not so easy.Yesterday afternoon, as soon as Jia Zhen left, she went to Youshi's yard, but she encountered a soft nail just as she opened her mouth.

"Master, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up the house all night." Youshi lowered his brows and spoke softly, but why did the words he said be so unpleasant.

Frowning, Jia Zhen stared back, only to find that Youshi lowered her head and didn't look at him at all. "I'll pick up my father tomorrow morning, and I'll be back home at noon at the latest." Jia Zhen ignored her and continued on her own, "The main hall is vacated for my father, so Rong'er won't move. Move my things to your courtyard Go here, take father back first and then talk."

Youshi took a look at Jia Zhen, there were several aunts and concubines of Jia Zhen in her yard, and there was Xichun who lived with her, but luckily the old lady took her to take care of her, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to live there.

Jia Zhen thought about it again, although their mansion was not as numerous as the owner of the Rong Mansion next door, but there was Huifang Garden that took up half of the mansion, and there was also the ancestral hall of the Jia family, so the place was not very big.But thinking about the boss of the West Mansion, the yard the family lived in was not as big as Rong'er's, and he felt much more at ease, and his tone became gentler, "Put the things that can't be put in the warehouse first, and in short, free the main hall first."

Youshi nodded in agreement, and then asked hesitantly, "What about the one in Huifang Garden?"

He frowned again, "Father will be back tomorrow anyway, let's talk about it then."

"I'm going to Peifeng's house, you hurry up and arrange for someone to clean up the house." Jia Zhen flicked her sleeves, went to his beloved concubine, and ignored the rest.

Youshi was angry and annoyed. Although the father-in-law was able to suppress Jia Zhen when he came back, but thinking about it a few years ago, Jia Zhen was under strict control, and when he couldn't express his temper, he would rape her in front of her. After the father-in-law left , the magic spell on Jia Zhen's head was gone without the person who chanted the spell, and she lived a very happy life, so naturally she didn't vent her anger on You Shi.So Jia Jing's coming back to live is really not good news for Youshi.

Youshi sighed, called the dowry Mrs. Zhou to get the key, and arranged for the servant girl to clean up the house.It's only less than eight hours away, maybe it will last all night tonight.There is also the banquet the day after tomorrow. Since the father-in-law is back, the table will naturally have to be lifted again; when the father-in-law left the mansion, he worshiped the ancestors, so I don't know whether to open the ancestral hall this time...

Out of the house, Peifeng's charming smile came from the backyard, and Youshi frowned. She is 12 this year, and has been married to Jia Zhen for [-] years. She has no children, and Jia Zhen has only Jia Rong under her knees. I don't know if it's because there are more crimes on weekdays.

Pooh!Spit inwardly, You Shi went to the main hall of Ning Mansion.At her age, she has no hope of having children, and her color is not as good as those teenage girls.After so many years, Jia Zhen's temper has also been touched in various ways, and she has long since lost her expectations. She only hopes to live in peace and live a healthy life and take care of her for the rest of her life.

Maybe Jia Zhen had some faint thoughts in her heart, after bringing his father back, he would no longer be able to live so unscrupulously, so she had the idea of ​​indulging in the last night, playing a little crazy, besides Peifeng, she also called Kailuan together, As a result, when he woke up the next morning, his back was sore and his legs were cramping. Anyone could see the two bruises under his eyes.

But there is no way, the master said yesterday that he is going to pick up the grandfather today, and no matter what, he must be woken up at the first moment of Mao.Now people are screaming, but their noses are vertical and their eyes are vertical, and they are throwing things around.The big servant girl Yindie who woke him up shivered again, excused herself to rush for hot water, and walked out of the room in a flash.

Jia Zhen knew the time well, so she dropped three teacups, overturned the washbasin, scolded Jia Rong during breakfast, and finally left the house at [-]:[-].

That's right, Jia Rong was also picked up by him, it's a big deal to take the grandfather back to the mansion, and Jia Rong is the only male of this generation in Ning Mansion, how could he not go?

Jia Rong is only 13 years old this year. She looks pink and tender, and she is at the age of snoozing. She was dragged out of the bed before dawn, and she didn't even know who the person who dressed him and washed his face was. .The carriage bumped back and forth along the way, and he was always in a daze. Although his father, Jia Zhen, was in a bad mood, he didn't bother to say that he didn't pay attention to his appearance, because his father was so sleepy that he messed around until midnight yesterday. , the father and son leaned on one side and slept all the way to Xuanzhen Temple.

Jia Zhen took Jia Rong to salute, and arranged for the servants to load the things into the carriage, and then helped Jia Jing to get into the carriage, but unexpectedly Jia Jing shook his hand away.

Jia Zhen was a little guilty, and only after several people got into the carriage did she ask in a low voice: "But what's wrong with my son?"

Jia Jing thought for a while before he understood that he was talking about getting into the carriage. He half-closed his eyes and said, "I'm not too old to get into the carriage."

It took about two hours to go back to Ningfu, because Jia Jing was sitting in the car, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong didn't dare to talk, and they didn't even dare to doze off.After half an hour passed, Jia Jing began to feel bored.What can I do in the carriage? Looking through the memory of the original owner, he has never done anything except closing his eyes and resting in a daze.

Both Jia Zhen and Jia Rong on the opposite side had their eyes closed, and their heads followed the rhythm of the carriage, as if they were asleep.The skin portraits of both of them are good, so I won't talk about Jia Rong. Jia Zhen still looks like that when she closes her eyes. It is also very good at bluffing people, but why are the things he does so unpopular.

Both Jia Jing did not know that the cause of Jia Zhen's disrespect to her father was a belated adolescent rebellion.Jia Jing gave Jia Zhen the title, patriarch and the large Ningfu. He couldn't send money once a month and clothes, food and goods twice a month.Also, he doesn't care much about his son, Jia Rong has been growing up with Youshi, Youshi is out of face, and as a stepmother, he can't be too strict with Jia Rong, even a little more lenient than Jia Zhen, almost responding to requests.Therefore, Jia Rong didn't even go to that dawdling family school in Jia's mansion a few times. She grew up to 13 years old, but she was only literate.

Jia Jing looked at the two unsatisfactory descendants in front of him, and once again rejoiced that he was now the grandfather. If he became Jia Zhen or Jia Rong, he would wish to do it again.So leaving Jia's mansion and staying away from this family's troubled relatives has been mentioned as the first item on the list.

But immediately, Jia Jing's ideal was broken.

On the way back to Jia’s mansion, the carriage passed two places. The first place was a mass grave, where homeless people, beggars or executed prisoners would all be thrown here. There was no coffin, no stele, just a broken straw mat, covered You can't cover your head.Because of the hot weather, a thick circle of quicklime was scattered around, and the smell was very unpleasant.The mass grave was not far or close to the main road, just enough for Jia Jing to see clearly that there were many corpses that had been lying on the mass grave for no more than ten days.

Jia Jing didn't think much about it, and just put down the curtain and passed away after saying that the world is impermanent.

The second place is the guillotine. There were 50 or [-] people kneeling on the stage, blood flowing like a river. Jia Jing just glanced at it and moved away. He was surprised, how could he start killing people before the frost fell? And today is the fourteenth, one of the ten fasting days, and it is also a day when you can't kill people.

With this curiosity, I couldn't help listening to him twice. It turned out that these people were all implicated in the prince's rebellion at the beginning of the year.There are not only relevant officials, but even some close relatives and friends and completely unrelated neighbors.

broken!

Jia Jing slapped his thigh and sat up straight. In this era, there is no such thing as breaking away from the relationship between father and son. There are only Lian Zuo and Zhu Jiu Clan here!In other words, if something happened, he could only guard the big family and wait to be implicated.

Jia Jing's neck was slightly stiff, looking from left to right, and from Jia Rong to Jia Zhen.Both of them had no flesh on both sides of the bridge of the nose, and Jia Zhen's eyes were somewhat triangular, which showed that they had died in a foreign land and were old and homeless.For a family like Ningfu, if a guest dies in a foreign land, it can only be sent to him. Nowhere to rely on means that Jia Rong has no descendants, and he died earlier than Jia Zhen.

The key issue is that Jia Rong is already thirteen this year, and he is bound to get married within three to two years, and he did not leave a son or a half daughter before his death, which means that there are only five or six years left in Ningfu's prosperous life.

Jia Jing's movements were a little big. Jia Zhen opened her eyes to look at her father, then listened to the movement outside, and said with some emotion: "From the beginning of the year to the present, there must be no less than 2000 people killed." He even shook his head, "Poor Xiangyun Pavilion's boss, he was implicated for no reason, and more than 300 members of his family were all folded in."

This is what I am afraid of!

Jia Jing looked at the ignorant child in front of him, an adult who knew nothing, and found out for the first time that the grandfather was not so easy to be.It's only been a while, and the first thing on the list to stay away from Ning's mansion, which is not up to date, has become optimistic about these two down-to-earth descendants, so as not to be implicated.

Oh, no, the Rong Mansion next door belongs to his Nine Clans, or even his neighbors in Lianzai, the big family is more disappointing...
