Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

What happened in Rongguo Mansion has never been hidden from anyone.Those servants who are usually obedient and caring in front of the master, when they turn their heads, they all have a sharp mouth, taking the affairs of the master's family as the focus, and talking back and forth thoroughly.Even the most confidant servants have one or two good friends, if you miss a few words, others will know.Not to mention, there are those "careful people" who don't know who is standing behind them.

Mrs. Zhang said that her condition had improved the day before, but she suddenly lay on the bed the next day without knowing anything about her. The strangest thing was that Jia Mu severely punished Jia Amnesty for this, and put him under house arrest in the study, not allowed to enter or leave at will.Although the servants didn't know much about it, based on what Jia Mu Wang said at the time, they knew about it. Zhang is seriously ill now, and Jia Amnesty might have caused it.

Mrs. Zhang is a respectable grandma of the Rongguo Mansion. She has two children, and the eldest son is studying with her in the palace. Seeing that Jia Shen's will to attack the prince is about to come down, if this kind of thing happened at this time, Jia Shen actually hurt his wife?The subordinates spied so secretly, they kept discussing in private, pointing at Jia Amnesty and shaking their heads, Mrs. Zhang is a gentle person, even if she has the means, she still keeps a thread of not doing anything wrong, the servants are quite prestige Jia, but Jia She is known as "useless" by everyone. At this moment, the virtuous grandma called "useless" Jia She did not know what happened to Jia She, and the servants said that Jia She did not know how to cherish.

"Such a good grandma, how can you bear it?" The servants said behind their backs, their faces full of contempt, "Master just went to the funeral, drinking and... Poor grandma, how did you meet such a husband?"

For a whole day, Mrs. Zhang didn't know anything about her personnel, so she almost couldn't feed her the medicine. It was the concoction that Jia Hu poured down Mrs. Zhang herself. Khan, the pulse is all messed up.Doctor Li looked at it and shook his head.

The errand servant came back and said, wiping away tears: "Yesterday, grandma was hugging Brother Hu and laughing, but now she is lying on the bed, and her breathing is weak... Uncle Du lost his morals after drinking and harmed grandma , You haven’t seen how brother Lian is crying, lying on the bedside and calling mother. Brother Hu bit his lip, his eyes are red, although he didn’t cry, but it makes people feel anxious Panic!"

A child without a mother is like a grass. If the Zhang family is really gone, the two children Jia Hu and Jia Lian will suffer in the future.

Jia Hu and Jia Lian were delicate and lovely, and treated others with courtesy, and there was no servant who didn't like it. After sighing, he had to secretly talk about Jia She again.The two Ningrong mansions are adjacent to each other, and the street in the back is helping the members of the Jia clan, and the servants often come and go. After a while, Ningguo mansion knows everything that should be known, and even some well-informed clansmen outside have it in their hearts. number.

The older generation, such as Jia Dairu and Jia Daixiu, could not sit still when they heard such scandalous things, and rushed to find Jia Jing. Jia Jing himself hadn’t recovered from the shock. Facing the vague accusations of these elders, his head was big. How could Jia Amnesty act so ridiculously? He didn't get drunk when he drank with him. Could it be that he drank it by himself again when he went back?It's really outrageous, Xiaoqi is drunk, does he think his reputation is too good?What's even more hateful is that now everyone says that Jia She drank too much with his guests, it seems that he and his clan are ignorant, Jia She still let him drink with his guests during the filial piety, even his reputation was ruined.

Feeling unhappy, when the clan elder questioned, Jia Jing responded very simply: "I will go to the Rong Mansion in the morning, if there is such a thing, then this matter can't be ignored! The reputation of our Jia family can't be ignored. That's how it's ruined!"

Mrs. Zhang is not a girl who can be bullied casually. Even if she dies, she has no one to support her. Behind her is the Jingyuanhou Mansion!

Waking up early the next day, Jia Jing asked about Mrs. Zhang, and learned that not only did she not get better, but she became even more ill, she pursed her lips, picked out a dark robe, and went directly to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia wasn't surprised when she saw him, she just sighed: "My son, born a rebellious son, has brought shame to the clan. It's all my fault for not being able to teach well, now Hu'er his mother..." As she spoke, her eyes were already wet with tears.

Jia Jing is no better than others. He knew from a young age that this aunt is not a fuel-efficient lamp. For decades, Jia's mother's partiality has really fallen into his eyes. If Jia's mother treats Jia Jing calmly, it may not So surprised, but now so sad, Jia Jing, who was originally furious, murmured in his heart.

"Auntie said that it is true that Enhou made the younger siblings' illnesses worse?" Jia Jing carefully asked Jia's mother for confirmation. Brother and sister, she..."

Mother Jia cried uncontrollably: "That child, the doctor took the pulse last night and said it was a bad pulse..." Mrs. Wang was busy handing her a handkerchief to comfort her.

Jia Zheng's face was sullen, and he was a little ashamed of the anger of being brothers with Jia She: "The two children guarded their sister-in-law for a whole day yesterday, and the younger one fell asleep crying."

Jia Jing thought of the two brothers Jia Hu and Jia Lian, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.The two children are as beautiful as a golden boy in a painting. Jia Hu is precocious and intelligent, and Jia Lian is smart and cute. If they lose their children, they will still be killed by their fathers. After that, what will they do...

"It's my fault. When my son and Enhou were drinking, I didn't persuade you. At that time, I thought it would be okay to drink a little politely. I didn't expect to get drunk..." Although some words are difficult to say, they are related to Jia. Jia Jing also had to lick his face and asked, "Nowadays, the servants are talking about it, and I feel strange. When we left, Enhou looked quite sober. Why did he become so drunk later? Could it be that he Did you still drink when you went back?" There was something tentative in the words.

Jia Jing himself didn't have much preference for Jia She and Jia Zheng. Although Jia She was not outstanding, he was generous. Jia Zheng was well educated. These two cousins ​​had no conflict of interest with him. He is the head of the clan, and he always treats the heir of Rongguo Mansion, another pillar of the Jia clan, as a younger brother.Zhang Shi is good friends with his wife Xu, and Wang's elder brother Wang Ziteng is also his good friend. Adding up the two, Jia Jing usually pays attention to his words and deeds, and never asks himself to show any side.After all, as the patriarch, his preference may sometimes determine some opinions of the clan.

It's just that the matter of Jia's amnesty this time is downright absurd and out of line. Jia Jing was so angry that he didn't sleep all night because he thought about the clan wholeheartedly, and he absolutely refused to let it go.It's just that Jia She and Zhang's husband and wife have a good relationship on weekdays. Although Jia She is not capable of doing things on weekdays, he doesn't seem to be a person who loses morals after drinking.

The Jingyuan Hou Mansion behind the Zhang family, Jia Hu's talent at a young age, if possible, Jia Jing really doesn't want to lose it.

The haze flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, but she still said calmly: "The servant came back and said that once you left, he couldn't hold on anymore. He sat for a long time and drank all the wine left in the jug. When he was about to go back to the house Just fell down."

"Then, why did you go to your younger siblings?" Jia Jing felt very uncomfortable when he asked this. It's all about the husband and wife, but Jia Jing really had to ask. Obviously, Jia Amnesty still has two concubines. isn't it? "My brother and sister are not in good health. It is too hard for my brother and sister to take care of drunk people." More or less doubtful.

Jia's mother was not questioned at all, and said naturally: "The servant was going to send the boss back to the study. You know, he has been sleeping there recently. Who knew that he kept calling the eldest daughter-in-law's name the night before?" , said he wanted to see her, but the servants didn’t hold him back, so they sent him to the boss’s wife.” He blamed himself, “It’s also my fault that I didn’t discipline these servants well, the boss was so drunk, he should have No matter what, you can't let him disturb the boss's daughter-in-law. He lied to these killers. He was frightened by the boss with a few words, and he did whatever he said. The boss was still drunk at that time, if he didn't think they were still useful, I really wish I could sell them all." While asking Jia Jing, "Do you want to meet them?"

What he said sounded very reasonable, Jia Jing didn't find any doubts, how could he really question those servants, wouldn't it be obvious that he didn't believe Jia Mu's words, and slap Jia Mu's face?Besides, Mother Jia dared to ask him to ask, so she was confident, even if she was tricky, he couldn't ask.Jia Jing had no choice but to comfort the mourning mother Jia softly: "Drinking and sex, Enhou and his younger siblings have always been in harmony, if something like this happened, he would feel uncomfortable..."

Jia's mother was also uncomfortable: "Yesterday when the doctor mentioned that the eldest daughter-in-law is not good, I felt very uncomfortable. The eldest and her have been husband and wife for many years, how can I feel better?" Dejectedly smiled bitterly at Jia Jing, "I'm not an outsider, either. I won't hide it from you. I usually treat the eldest daughter-in-law very indifferently, but we have been together for so many years, how can we really have no feelings at all? I thought about it all night last night, and I only felt that I owed the eldest daughter-in-law. She came in Over the past few years, I have spread branches and leaves for my Jia family, and I have given birth to two wonderful sons and grandchildren, but now..."

Jia Jing naturally persuaded again: "Auntie, take care of yourself."

Mother Jia held back her tears with great difficulty, forced a smile on Jia Jing embarrassedly, suddenly felt a little apprehensive, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that everyone in the clan knows about the boss?"

Jia Jingpo nodded in embarrassment: "I'm a servant... I'm afraid I know."

Jia's mother was annoyed and regretted: "I wanted to block the matter and solve it quietly. Who knows these servants... I am really old. I really can't control the affairs of this house." But it's not an act, she really issued a strict order in the mansion that no servants are allowed to leak the news, even if everyone in the mansion knows about it, they must not let outsiders know about it.Mother Jia played her wishful thinking, but she didn't want Jia Amnesty to disgrace the Rongguo Mansion.My family knows it, so I just have a handle.Who knows, the news spread in just one night.

To let her know who dared to talk nonsense, she had to pull out his tongue!It's hard to say except face in the clan now.Mother Jia was very unhappy, always feeling that the situation in front of her was faintly out of control.

"How will the boss be treated in that clan?" Mother Jia begged Jia Jing sadly, "Although the boss is unworthy, he is also my blood and blood. For my sake, I ask my nephew to forgive me."

"Auntie, don't say that. This matter is too involved. It is not my nephew's decision. How to deal with it, I have to invite a few uncles to discuss it together." Jia Jing naturally refused to agree easily.He is the patriarch, if Jia Amnesty is really stupid and makes a big mistake and brings losses to the Jia clan, then no matter whether he is the heir of the Rongguo Mansion or not, the clan will not let him go easily.As long as his surname is Jia Yitian and he is still a member of the Jia family, he cannot break away from the family law.

It's just that, Jia Jing didn't want to tell Jia's mother, not only because Jia's mother is a woman, it's not good to intervene too much in deciding the major affairs of the clan, but also because she gave Jia Jing a bad impression.Jia Jing always felt that Jia's mother's behavior today was too abnormal, which was not the same as usual.He said he was in contact with Mrs. Zhang who was dying, but how many times Mrs. Xu whispered in his ear that Mrs. Jia never liked Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law, and wished that Mrs. Jia never married her.Would such a person be so sad because his wife was about to die?

Moreover, Mother Jia has been the daughter-in-law of the Jia family for so many years, and she is not ignorant of the clan rules. Jia Jing felt a little hypocritical for begging Jia Amnesty so abruptly.

Mother Jia was rejected, so she couldn't lick her face and pestered her endlessly. She picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, then sighed and talked about Mrs. Zhang again.

Jia Jing also felt sorry for Mrs. Zhang, and asked about Jia She: "Your Majesty, are you with your siblings now?"

Mother Jia's face dropped: "He still has the face to go? The eldest daughter-in-law was killed by him." This party told Jia Jing, "I might not allow him to go, I am afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law knows that he went to see her, and the illness is even worse! Now Right now, he's afraid to stay in the study."

Jia Jing then said that he wanted to see him, but Jia's mother did not object, and asked the girl next to him to lead Jia Jing there.

When he opened the study door and saw Jia Amnesty, Jia Jing was taken aback by him.Jia She, who is used to being a dandy, has never looked so embarrassed.The green beard on the chin and the stubble make people look uncomfortable, the eyes are black and white, the whites of the eyes are bloodshot, the face is also sallow and sallow, the clothes on the body are messy and wrinkled, and the whole body is sitting dead on the ground, leaning on the back. Standing on the table legs, his eyes were straightened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jia Jing thought that he was stunned by Zhang's illness, and hurriedly shouted: "Enhou, what's wrong with you? How did you become like this?"

Jia Amnesty was taken aback by the sudden voice in his ears, and when he came back to his senses and saw Jia Jing, his already ugly face turned pale, he opened his chapped lips, and hissed, "Why, my mother asked you to deal with me. What? My story, has it spread all over the capital? How about it, what do other people say about me?"

Jia Jing frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jia She sneered again and again: "If you don't know, you can come here? I think now, my reputation is completely rotten on the street, right? Will the clan be ashamed of me?"

Jia Jing couldn't answer the question, so he could only shout: "What nonsense, uncle has gone, and you are also the one who wants to attack the prince, and you are so inappropriate when you talk!"

Jia Amnesty, however, was not at all worried about it: "Assaulting the noble? I can still attack the noble? Firstly, the mansion has been controlled, and the news has not leaked out. Maybe I still have this chance, now? Hmph!"

Jia Jing doesn't sound right, why do you feel that Jia Amnesty is not so much sad, but rather resentful towards Jia's mother? "Enhou, tell me the truth, did you do what happened to your daughter-in-law? Inside..."

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Jing and met his eyes, without any guilt: "I only know that when you left that day, I drank a few sips of water to quench my thirst, and passed out after a while."

Jia Jing could tell that Jia Amnesty was not lying, but... "I asked, everyone in the house said that you sent us away that day, and you drank a lot by yourself."

Jia She was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, well, I drank a lot myself!"

How many people did Jia Jing see on his errand, just judging from Jia Amnesty's reaction now, he knew that what he said was probably true.It's a pity, no matter how true it is, it's useless if no one testifies to Jia She.Now the whole house says that Jia Amnesty drank alone, no one has any doubts.Obviously, only one of these two statements is true.Jia She is so excited, it doesn't seem like a lie.

Could it be that Mother Jia framed her own son?Jia Jing really couldn't believe it, the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, mother Jia is not so vicious, is she?

Jia She suddenly asked: "Brother Jing, tell me, if my reputation is ruined, will the title be transferred to the second room?"

Jia Jing really didn't know what to say, so he could only vaguely say: "The state-owned state-law family has family rules, how can there be such a good thing to say, whoever wins the title depends on the meaning of the present."

Jia Amnesty stopped asking, lowered his head, and then became dazed.

"Your Majesty," Jia Jing wanted to say something, when he heard the commotion outside, he went out to ask strangely, and the servants screamed: "People from the Jingyuanhou's mansion have come to call!"
