Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Concubine Zhen took the double-dough fan from her natal family. The front side is a picture of a cat fluttering on a dish, and the back side is a picture of a butterfly playing a rich peony. It was woven stitch by stitch by a famous embroiderer from Jiangnan.

"In the early years, your father insisted on suppressing me for the sake of his prince and refused to let me have you. I was still resentful at the time when the prince was about ten years old and stood firm. Now that I think about it, I have to thank your father. Your Majesty, otherwise." Concubine Zhen already had her meaning before she could finish her words.

Lord Yide thinks about his eldest brother's life these years, even though he is under one person and above ten thousand people, it is really not easy.

"Then can't we wait like this?"

Concubine Zhen said, "Waiting is of course not an option. I will win your trust and make your uncle's place more secure. In the end, they made too much noise."

Concubine Zhen shook her head in her heart. The Zhen family was originally a local rich man. In the early years, she had some influence in the south of the Yangtze River because of her in-law relationship with the Jia family of the four major families. Later, her mother became the current wet nurse. If there is good grace, you will become rich and prosperous all the way into the palace.

But even if he is rich, his vision is not deep, and he doesn't want to leave the rich nest in the south of the Yangtze River. So far, he is just a local snake in the south of the Yangtze River. He has no power outside the south of the Yangtze River.

"One more thing, don't be negligent with the old lady of the Jia family. I am in the palace, and your natal family is in the south of the Yangtze River. I didn't say that your wife's family is not reliable. The Jia family has some legacy in the capital. , Wasn't the Wang family paying two aunts and grandmothers to marry into the second room of the Jia family's big house that day because of the personal connections left by Jia Daishan?"

Speaking of the Wang family, is that Wang Ziteng a real character? He was originally the governor of the Beijing camp, and later he was promoted to the governor of the nine provinces. I heard that the emperor is very satisfied with him.

"Mother and Concubine, this Prince Teng is not easy, can we win one or two?"

"Don't even think about it!" Concubine Zhen knocked on her exquisite double dough fan.

"I still know your father's temperament. You can't reach out for his things unless he gives them to you. But everyone has weaknesses. This prince Teng is shrewd, but he protects his weaknesses. His most beloved relatives, Jia The second wife of the family, the young lady of the first house, and his other younger sister who married into the Xue family are all living in the Jia family, you just need to appease the Jia family."

Prince Yide finally calmed down, and said with a smile, "Mother and concubine have the ability."

On the second day, in Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Jing ordered people to close the gate, and the whole family kept their filial piety. They had a rare free time and meditated to rest their minds.

"Learn, don't worry.

But how far is it from Ah?

What is the difference between beauty and evil?

What people are afraid of, must they not be afraid?

It's so desolate!

Everyone is hey, like enjoying a prison, like spring on stage. "

While reciting the Tao Te Heart Sutra silently, the sound of knocking on the door sounded.

Jia Jing frowned gradually, opened his eyes, and sighed, "Blessings of longevity, troubles in this world!"

"Come in!" shouted outside.

The first one to come in was his son Jia Zhen. He has not become a monk in this life, and he is strictly disciplined every day. He dare not relax.

When Jia Zhen saw his father in Taoist robes, sitting cross-legged on the tufts of cattail, his heart tightened. He knew that his father had long wanted to become a monk to serve the Sanqing Patriarch, but he was always worried about himself and Jia's family. Meditation was interrupted by myself, so I must be in a bad mood.

Carefully kowtowed to say hello, "Greetings to the old man."

"Get up, tell me what's the matter?" Jia Jing asked

Jia Zhen took out several posts from her sleeve and handed them to Jia Jing respectfully.

"Returning to the old man, these are posts sent by the concierge. Because our house is closed to observe filial piety, each family only sent posts, and no one came to the door."

Jia Jing flipped through them at random, and found that they were all from the family of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, as well as the Zhen family, the Pingyuanhou Jiang family, and the family historians, the Wang family, and so on.

Jia Zhen took out two more letters from her sleeve and handed them to Jia Jing.

"This is a letter from Zhang's natal family and mother's natal Han family."

Jia Jing took it apart and looked at it. The Han family didn't say anything, they only said that the memorial day of their late master and wife was coming. Their old lady dreamed about her son and daughter-in-law a few days ago, and she was worried, so she went to the suburbs to give them a gift with Han Qi's company. Pray, and light the longevity lamp.

There are even fewer letters from the Zhang family, and the whole text is only four words, "Be cautious in your words and deeds."

Jia Jing gradually loosened his brows. Not to mention the Zhang family, the scholarly family that has been passed down for many years has his own ability. This Han family only has an old lady and Han Qi with a weak crown, but he can be so sensitive. The future of the Han family is promising!

Jia Zhen hesitated for a while, then said,

"In addition to these families, the elder and second elders of the West Mansion also wanted to see the old master, but I pushed them away. They made it their way to have a light meal with me. Since they are elders, I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to accept."

"Are they together or apart?" Jia Jing asked.

"Just as I was about to say this, Master She and Second Master Zheng were not together. I had dinner with them separately and listened to what they said. This," Jia Zhen hesitated.

Jia Jing asked impatiently, "What is this, tell me!"

Jia Zhen didn't delay any longer, and said, "The elder seems to be standing," Jia Zhen raised a finger.

"The second master seems to be standing," he raised two more fingers.

Jia Zhen approached and said, "According to the second master, the old lady seems to have the same idea as him."

After speaking, Jia Zhen didn't dare to look up.

Jia Jing pondered for a moment, it seemed that the fog in front of him had dissipated, so it was so!The reason for the collapse of the Jia family finally became clear.

In the previous life, Jia Jing returned to the Daoist Lord in his early years and never asked about the affairs of the family. Then he left early after the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Most of the later things knew because of the lingering soul, but the new emperor was the previous one. As for things, he only knows what everyone knows, and he doesn't know anything about what the Jia family has done.

He was still confused at first, the crimes committed by the Jia family were not big or small, but Jia Yuanchun became a noble concubine, no matter what, he was on the right side, and for the sake of Jia Yuanchun and the ancestors of the Jia family, he had to be forgiven One or two, isn't it so heartless?If it's for money, even though the two mansions are extravagant, you can also inquire about the matter of eating their own food, so it shouldn't be!

Now it is clear that the Rongguo Mansion did not bet on the fourth prince at all. Even if the most noble girl in their mansion was given to the fourth prince, they still didn't like him. Jia amnesty the crown prince, while Jia Zheng and the old lady valued Prince Yide from the Zhen family, and by the way showed affection for the fourth prince.

Stepping on two boats, with one in his hand, is quite shrewd!

Jia Jing casually flipped through the posts at hand, presumably these people have the same idea, right?

No, Jia Jing was taken aback, holding a post from Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion in his hand.

The sixth prince born out of Concubine Zhen Guo'an only loves traveling, writing poetry and painting, but this Concubine An and Duke Zhen are ambitious. Although Duke Zhen is not well-known, he is not small. He is afraid that he also has some thoughts.

The water is really getting more and more chaotic.

Jia Zhen heard that he didn't answer for a long time, looked up and saw Jia Jing was in a daze, and asked, "Old master?"

Jia Jing replied, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about them, the matter will be over soon."
