The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

When Jia Min Qiqi passed by, the whole Lin family seemed to be seriously hurt, especially Lin Ruhai.

He originally planned to serve Jia Min for a year, but now that he is in a high position, he will not be able to find a replacement for a while.Therefore, after much deliberation, Situ Yao only asked him to chat and express his grief at home, but going to court was still inevitable.

Daiyu and Brother Dong will have to keep mourning for Jia Min for three years.

In the past two years, the battle for succession between Beijing and China has intensified. Lin Ruhai was worried about the safety of his son and daughter, and wanted to send them to Jinling.After Lin Daiyu and Lin Dong discussed it, they resolutely refused to go. Although the two of them were not good at medical skills, their eyes were still good, and Lin Ruhai's condition was obviously not good.

Let them leave Lin Ruhai at this time, the two of them are absolutely unwilling.

Lin Ruhai talked and tried to persuade her for several days, even Xichun and Qiaojie took turns to join the battle, but Daiyu just said two words: No!

In a hurry, she covered her face and cried, only saying that she was worried about her father staying in Beijing alone and wanted to serve by her side.The same is true for Lin Dong. Although he is younger, he is still 12 years old, and he is taught by Lin Ruhai and Mr. Bai. His mind is no worse than Jia Mao's, so he can see it more clearly.

In the end, it was Brother Mao who came forward and persuaded Lin Ruhai: "Grandpa, aunt and cousin are very filial, you should agree. As for the safety of cousin and aunt, it is the time of filial piety, just stay at home and avoid going out." Besides, when I come here this time, my father also allocated a few shadow guards for me, and I can divide them into two to go to my aunt and uncle, which is considered a guarantee."

Lin Ruhai couldn't think about it either, and sighed: "That's all I can do. I'm old, and I don't know how many days I can protect them. Let's take a step now. As for your shadow guard, it's still by your side Alright, your aunt and cousin are grown-ups, how can you have your bodyguards."

"Now that your aunt's July [-] is over, I guess someone will come to invite you in a few days. Brother Mao, you need to prepare early. Those people are not easy to get along with. Now your father and grandfather are both If you are not in Beijing, they will attack you."

Brother Mao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, grandpa, I know it well."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, there was a message from a servant outside, saying that Situ Han, the son of King Chengjun, had handed over the post and was waiting at the gate of Lin's house.

Situ Han is only ten years old now, and he is the eldest son of King Cheng, while Situ Li, King of Cheng, is the eldest son of today's concubine.It is said that Corporal Lixian, the king of Chengjun, is open-minded and has both civil and military skills. He is a rare virtuous king and is very popular among the people and officials.

However, Jia Liansu was alienated from these princes, and spent more than half of the time in these years repairing the railway, and even lost contact with those princes.

It's just that Jia Mao, as the eldest son of Zhaoming Houfu, had to attend many occasions, so he had some intersections with those princes and grandchildren.And Situ Han is the one who has the best relationship with Jia Mao among these emperors and grandchildren. There is no one else. It is because Situ Han was murdered in the womb, and his mental insufficiency is like a child.

It was at a party that Jia Mao helped Situ Han, and he got entangled.

Princess Chengjun has only one son under her knees. Although she is a bit stupid, it hurts to the bone, and all plans are for him.Even in order to take better care of Situ Han, Princess Chengjun was deliberately tricked, and she would never be able to conceive in this life, but because of this, she won the pity of Prince Chengjun, and her position in the mansion was considered stable.

Jia Mao rescued Princess Chengjun's son and gained Situ Han's favor, so Princess Chengjun did not stop her son from befriending him.And because of Situ Han's personal reasons, it is obvious that he will not get involved in the seizure of the heir apparent, so Jia Mao also paid a little bit of sincerity when interacting with him.

Now that he suddenly heard that he was coming, Jia Mao was not only confused, but also somewhat happy.

Lin Ruhai reacted quickly, and said repeatedly: "How can His Highness wait outside, please come in quickly, and I will greet you in person."

Lin Ruhai got up as soon as he spoke, Jia Mao naturally wanted to follow, and sent someone to call Lin Dong over.

"Moge!"

Just as Jia Mao turned a corner, he was rushed towards him by a hunk. If it wasn't for the fact that his foot was still relatively stable, both of them would be lying on the ground right now.

"Ahem, ahem, Your Highness, are you going to knock me unconscious?"

Jia Mao coughed a few times before he regained his composure. Lin Ruhai and his son had already bowed to salute.

Although Situ Han was mentally retarded, his mother taught him very well. Seeing everyone salute, she quickly climbed off Jia Mao and said with a straight face: "No need to salute, I, I'm here to play with Brother Mao Yes, you all go away."

Lin Ruhai was a little taken aback, but remembering the rumors, he left anyway, leaving only Lin Dong to follow.

When Lin Ruhai left, Situ Han showed a silly smile, took Jia Mao's arm and said, "Brother Mao, I went to your house to play with you, and I went many times without seeing anyone. The concubine mother said you and you Father and mother have gone back to their hometown, and it will take three years to come back, and you are not in Beijing, and there is no one to play with me!"

He chattered endlessly, sometimes he said that the emperor's grandfather had given him a pony, another time he said that his mother and concubine helped him make new clothes, and he even said three or four times that he ate two extra buns when he got up early.

Lin Dong was surprised and confused when he heard it, but Jia Mao, who was used to it, kept echoing him.

As Situ Yao was talking, he suddenly thought of something, and waved his hands back: "Look, you see, these are all good things I left for you, even those my younger brothers don't have, I will give them to you."

The two guards at the back were not used to seeing it, so they brought up a box more than one meter long.

Jia Mao didn't open it either, but said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking of me. I also brought you something, and it's in my yard. Let's go and have a look."

Situ Han became even happier when he heard the words, and followed Jia Mao to the courtyard where he lived as a guest, his whole body was full of excitement.Lin Dong and the guards naturally followed behind, carrying the huge box.

Jia Mao wasn't lying. He didn't have many friends in Beijing, and Situ Han was one of them. He really brought a gift to Situ Han.They are all imported products that came back with sea ships, such as moving little people, exquisite pocket watches, and weird shells, all of which children would like. I won't let go.

After having a meal with Situ Han, Jia Mao sent him away, but at the same time, he also had a few more posts in his hand.

One of the posts was naturally from Chengjun Prince's Mansion, and he was invited to visit the mansion for a talk.The other copies are different, some belong to the royal family, and some belong to noble ministers' families, but they have one thing in common, which is more or less related to seizing the heir.

Since Jia Mao stepped on the boat to the capital, he knew that today's event was unavoidable, so they all accepted it with a smile, and promised to go to the banquet on time.

At the same time, Jia Mao and Qiao Jieer moved out of Lin's house and returned to Zhaoming Hou's residence.After all, the Lin family was keeping their filial piety, and the two of them didn't say they would be involved in the whirlpool, but just going out to feast every day was already very inappropriate, so naturally they couldn't continue to live.

As for Xichun, she stayed at the Lin family, one was to accompany Lin Daiyu, and the other was to avoid these trivial matters.

However, since Jia Mao had just turned ten years old and sister Qiao was younger, most of the people who invited them were also children.However, no matter the children of aristocratic families or the descendants of the royal family, even if they are young, they have a lot of minds, and being false with these people every day really wastes a lot of energy for Jia Mao and his siblings.

Not to mention the undercurrents here in central Beijing, here in Jinling, when Jia Amnesty was seriously ill, he had already quietly boarded the ship with people and left the country.

In the palace, of course Situ Yao also knew about Zhaoming Hou Shizi's return to Beijing, but he felt that Jia Mao was really young and came back for the funeral, so he only ordered people to pay more attention to it, but he didn't pay much attention to the others.

But the reason why Situ Yao is like this is also because the people Jia Lian brought with him at the beginning are indeed qualified for the current job in the Ministry of Industry. Situ Yao thinks that Jia Lian is no longer needed.A person who doesn't have enough value, still has too high a reputation among the people, and has complicated relationships behind him. Situ Yao doesn't really want to see him now, including his son.

It is precisely because of this that Jia Mao's life in Beijing these days is really prosperous.

Just when he was living the most smooth life, news came from Jinling that Jia She had passed away from a long illness.

There was an uproar in Beijing, everyone was discussing what happened to the Jia family, why three people died in a row within half a year.The three brothers and sisters Jia Min, Jia Zheng, and Jia She passed away one after another. In the eyes of the world, they were full of ominous meanings. Some people who believed in ghosts and gods had begun to stay away from the Jia Mao brothers and sisters.

But the deeper reason is that Jia She passed away, and Jia Lian and Jia Mao, as the first sons and grandsons, will have to keep their filial piety for another three years.

Originally, in a few months' time, the Jia family's filial piety period would be over, and Marquis Zhaoming should return to court.And relying on his past achievements and reputation, this time he can at least be restored to his post, that is, from a first-rank official with a high position and weight.

But now, if Jia Lian keeps the filial piety period for another three years, Jia Lian will be out of court for five years.

The situation in central Beijing is changing rapidly, five years is enough for too many uncontrollable things to happen, and no one will focus on the Zhaominghou Mansion anymore.Besides, after five years away from Beijing, Jia Lian should have had someone to take over what Jia Lian could have done. Even if he comes back again, the chance of being reused is not great.

People's hearts are profit-seeking, and after weighing, they all have their own calculations.

As for Jia Mao and sister Qiao, they had already received news from Jinling that Jia Amnesty had escaped by feigning death.The reason for choosing this time to release the news is to allow them to leave Beijing smoothly, please forgive the increasingly chaotic situation in Beijing and China.

However, we still have to work hard on the surface, the two half-grown children, and one Xichun, all put on a look of panic, packed their things overnight and boarded the boat back to Jinling.
