Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

When Jia Mu saw that he had listened in, she said again,

"Although I'm not an old man with all kinds of blessings, my fate is somewhat higher, and the worldly people also value these things. Sister Lu grew up beside me, so she looks better."

Seeing that he still had doubts on his face, Jiamu said again,

"Besides, it's not that I don't want Sister Lu to keep filial piety. This filial piety is a great gift of human relations. How can I stop it? It's her filial piety that she kept for a year or so, but you have to consider her age to some extent! "

Jia Jing's heart fluttered when he heard this, what he was most worried about was getting involved in the matter of seizing the concubine. Since Jia's mother said so, it only needs to be delayed for a year before the dust settles. There are benefits, so why is this unacceptable?

Jia Jing said casually, "What the old lady said is also reasonable, but we still need to listen to Sister Lu's opinion."

Randomly turned around and asked Jia Lu, "Sister Lu, you heard what the old lady said just now, what are your thoughts?"

In fact, when Jia's mother was persuading her, Jia Lu also thought about everything. She didn't want to go there. There are many sisters in the Rongguo Mansion, but as her mother said, it's too messy there. What's more, there is Baoyu in the Rongguo Mansion who can do everything according to one's heart, so the reputation of the daughter's family may not be able to be preserved.

Besides, she doesn't believe in Mother Jia. She is the granddaughter of Mother Jia, but Yingchun is also the granddaughter of Mother Jia, and Yingchun still has her blood. Saying that keeping filial piety is important, Daiyu also kept filial piety when she went to Beijing. If it wasn't for Mrs. Chen, she wouldn't have respected her, let alone her granddaughter next door.

But she also wanted to go, Mrs. Han went, Jia Jing moved to the outer courtyard, only the beautiful Jia Zhen and the respectful Zhang family were in the inner courtyard, the two brothers Rongqiang were also mostly in the outer courtyard, and there was only herself in the inner courtyard. She is too lonely; besides, she knows a lot of plots, even if she no longer has the idea of ​​saving her daughters, but God does not take the blame but does not provide help, her conscience cannot bear it.

Another one is that what Jia Mu said is still reasonable. She does not intend to become a nun as in the original book. If she wants to marry, she must consider the secular views. A well-educated person came to teach her that Mother Jia has been a super-class order for many years. Even though her reputation is tarnished by doting on her youngest son, which family in the capital dare not give her face?

When Jia Jing and Jia Mu gave her the right to choose, she still hesitated and said,

"Everything is decided by the old lady and daddy."

Jia Jing didn't hesitate, and said, "Sister Lu is the youngest daughter, she will stay at home for one year, and after one year is over, she can't stop studying after that, maids, women and gentlemen will follow."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and bowed to Jia Mu, saying, "When the time comes, I hope the old lady will take care of you."

Mother Jia didn't step aside this time, and said solemnly, "Naturally, Sister Lu is also my granddaughter, and the youngest granddaughter, so I naturally cherish her."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Jia Lu knew that they had no intention of letting her make a decision, and she was speechless for a while.

Now that it's been negotiated, Mother Jia won't stay any longer. Mrs. Zhang personally sent Mother Jia back, that's all.

After Jia's mother left, Ningguo's mansion closed its doors to thank guests. Not only Jia Jing, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang all stayed at home in the name of filial piety, but they also ordered Zhang's family to not allow them, except for the daily grocery shoppers. Others enter or leave.

Not only the Ningguo Mansion, but also many people in the capital with deep and flexible heels, gradually felt the increasingly turbulent atmosphere in the capital, and gradually restrained the wanton youngsters in the family. case.

Gradually to the hot July.

On this day, the old Lai who guarded the city wall was so bored that he held a straw in his mouth and sang leisurely songs.

"Come to the entrance of the main street, respect the guests and friends in the past, and listen to your head. One is not a thieves and bandits, and the other is not a gangster stealing the city. Yang Lin and I are here to fight, so I will be assigned to Dengzhou!"

"Lao Lai's singing is pretty good!" A skinny guy next to him praised.

Lao Lai was complacent, "That's not true! You don't look at our ability! These three stores, I'm not bragging about Lao Lai, but..."

Lao Lai was bragging, but was pulled over by the young man, and Lao Lai was dissatisfied, when he saw the young man pointing to a horse galloping towards the official road, with a dusty person on it.

Lao Lai has good eyesight, and he can tell at a glance that the man with the mandarin duck hanging the shirt is a big soldier. As the saying goes, respect the shirt first and then the people, and the gatekeeper has brought this fine tradition to the extreme.

If it was a young man dressed in fine clothes, Lao Lai would just turn a blind eye and let him pass, but with this big soldier, if he bumped into some nobleman recklessly along the way, he wouldn't be able to afford it. and left.

Lao Lai stood in the middle of the avenue, waving his hands and shouting, "The city wall is heavy! Get off the horse and lead the way! The city wall is heavy! Get off the horse and lead the way!"

As if he didn't hear it, the soldier on horseback charged straight all the way, and didn't slow down when he was almost at the gate of the city.

I only heard the big soldier yelling when he passed him, "Hurry up for eight hundred miles! Hurry up for eight hundred miles!"

Lazy took a bite of the mud, managed to get up from the ground, and spat at the big soldier who rushed in.

"Fuck! What the hell! How dare you bump into your grandpa!"

The guy who was talking to him at the side stopped him quickly and said,

"Be careful, it's not easy to expedite the eight hundred miles!"

Lao Lai quickly covered his mouth and slapped himself, "I'm also confused, I'm guilty!"

"I have been guarding the gate for more than [-] years, and I have never seen a [-]-mile rush! I don't know what happened?"

The big soldier broke into the peaceful capital all the way, staggered all the way to the entrance of the palace, staggered off his horse, held up a letter and shouted,

"Eight hundred miles, hurry up! Hebei is in drought! The evil people are making trouble! It's corrupt!"

After saying this, the chief soldier passed out.

The city guards were also very frightened when they heard that, they didn't dare to delay, they hurriedly opened the palace door, one of them took the letter, and the other went into the palace with the big soldier on his back.

The big-headed soldiers rampaged all the way in the capital, hurting many people, and they were still yelling for eight hundred miles to hurry up. It took only half a stick of incense for such a big matter, and some powerful people in the capital knew about it.

Because the palace was not allowed to approach without authorization, everyone didn't know what was going on, seeing that the big soldier was rescued into the palace, they could only wait anxiously.

Only Jia Jing heard about this and said, "It's finally here!"

"Oh!"

"Boom!"

"Goo!"

"Idiot! Idiot! Cough cough cough!"

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a sound of beating and cursing, and all the court ladies and eunuchs at the door bowed their heads and did not move, wishing they could hold their breath and turn into stone shapes.

Others can pretend to be dead, but Eunuch Li Quan, as Emperor Kang Sheng's eunuch, can't pretend to be dead. Seeing Kang Sheng blushed with anger, his neck was thick, his hands were shaking, and he coughed non-stop.

Quickly stepped forward to help Kang Sheng sit down, patted his back with one hand, and said in relief,

"Oh, my lord, nothing is as important as your body, so let's take a rest and breathe slowly."

He said to the maid who was pretending to be dead, "Hurry up and invite the imperial physician!"

The people standing on the side were grateful for Li Quan, and stepped back as if they were relieved. Although they acted politely, they felt somewhat embarrassed and hasty.

Li Quan took a cup of brewed warm green snail tea and waited for the emperor to drink it, so he would feel better.

The emperor pushed Li Quan away and said, "Take that letter, and I'll take a closer look at it."
