every spring [comprehensive]

The judgment of the Jia family has been handed down after a series of twists and turns when the presiding officer was sacked.Because the emperor once said that he should be dealt with with discretion, Jia Zhenjia had been pardoned before Longkodo was imprisoned. The adult males were released with mercy.

After this result, everyone in the Jia family can be considered acceptable. They have changed from the home of Zhongming Dingshi to prisoners of the ranks. During this period of time, there is a huge gap, and they have already made the worst plan in their hearts.

Mrs. Xue originally wanted to bring their group of people, Mrs. Wang, Baoyu, Sister Feng Tanchun and others to Xue's residence, but after thinking about it in her heart, she felt that it was wrong to do so. There is nothing to be afraid of, but she also has to think about Xue Pan and Baochai. Their family accommodates the family members of criminal officials. It may be a lifetime thing to stay here.

If Xue Pan's official career was affected because of her relatives, the gain would not be worth the loss, so she asked the housekeeper to go to the nearby streets to find a suitable house nearby. It would be even better if the neighbor next door agreed to rent it. After a few days, I finally rented a clean and large yard not far away, separated by two or three houses.Mrs. Xue had someone tidy up, and directly brought all the people who were brought out from behind the jail.

When Mrs. Xue met Mrs. Wang and her sisters, they naturally cried again. Everyone came to see Mrs. Xue one by one. Mrs. Xue looked over one by one. The wives, grandma, girls, and young masters of the Jia family were all here. But all of them looked haggard and sallow. I also knew that being locked up in such a place for so long, no one's complexion would get better, not to mention the lack of nutrition after eating the last meal without the next meal.

Mrs. Wang cried: "Sister, it's good to have you. Otherwise, we would have no idea what to do when we came out of that place. It turns out that everything in the mansion was ransacked, and even the house was sealed."

Mrs. Xue said to Mrs. Wang: "Flesh and blood of the whole family, what are you talking about outsiders? If I am in trouble one day, can my sister not care about me? You can live here with peace of mind, just not far from my house , it’s only three houses away, and if there’s anything to do, it’s only two steps away, so it will be convenient for us to talk in the future.”

As soon as Madam Wang entered the house, she saw that the windows were bright and clean, but knowing that it was obviously not Xue's residence, she felt a little disappointed.Originally, he thought that after he was released from prison this time, he would join the Xue family, and that Baoyu would also be under Xue Pan's care in the future. If he got a good reputation or bought an official job, the Jia family might have a chance to turn around in the future.Now that I heard that it was not far away, I was a little relieved.

Wang Xifeng and the others didn't know what Madam Wang was thinking, and shed tears along with them, "No one is in trouble, and it's hard to distinguish between the loyal and the evil. Auntie's family is like our reborn parents, and they will be blessed."

Mrs. Xing, Youshi, Li Wan and the others echoed her.

Seeing everyone surrounding Mrs. Xue being affectionate and flattering, Tanchun didn't dare to go forward. He wished he could hide himself in the ground so that she wouldn't see him. , Maybe it will be invalidated. She didn't even dare to think about it when she was in prison. When she thought about it, she felt that she couldn't live. Everyone was looking forward to coming out soon, but she didn't want to come out.

But no matter how much she deceived herself, how could Mrs. Xue forget her and shouted: "Tan girl, my son, come here quickly, let me have a look!"

Mrs. Xue took Tanchun with her gentle hand, touched her arm full of bones, and she couldn't help but shed tears: "My son, I made you suffer so much when you were young. Since then, with me here, I will never let you down again." I won't let you be wronged, if Pan'er dares to bully you, I will make the decision for you."

Hearing this, Tanchun felt as if he had taken a reassurance, and couldn't help throwing himself into her arms and weeping bitterly.

Others didn't say anything, but they knew it. Tanchun, who was always cheerful and decisive, had nothing to worry about except his marriage with Xue Pan.Everyone knew that the Xue family was not a person who wanted to change their minds, but they didn't dare to say this deadly to persuade Tanchun. If there was any change, no one could afford it.Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but fall in love with each other.

The house has already prepared hot water, new clothes, food and drinks, just waiting for them to tidy up and restore their vitality with a full stomach.After washing, everyone went to the table, except Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu said in a daze, "Auntie, I want to pay my respects to the old lady."

Life's ups and downs are not always predictable.Xue Pan never thought that the job of admiral of the Nine Gates would fall on him!He doesn't have the slightest desire to covet this position!

Yongzheng has met a lot of people in his life, and Xue Pan's simple thoughts are still obvious at a glance. He still remembers that when his little sister Xue Baochai was a little girl, after curing Yinxiang's leg disease, at that time Still Prince Yong, he asked Xue Baochai what kind of reward he wanted.She said that she hoped that the two princes could take care of her ineffective brother.Unexpectedly, stupid people have stupid blessings. After only a few years, Xue Pan also became a member of the imperial court.Yongzheng knew the benefits of real people only after he had seen a lot of people.

Xue Pan hurriedly knelt down and said: "The qualifications of the lowly position are still inexperienced, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on the important task. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Yongzheng said to Yinxiang: "Look at this silly boy, he has been an official in the court for a while, and he even pushes the fat out of his mouth. How can he be like this, but he doesn't know that the court is full of red faces because of this position. of!"

Yin Xiang said to Xue Pan: "The duty of a subject is not to share the worries of His Majesty. Now that the nine admirals are vacant and no one is guarding the imperial city, it is the emperor's worry. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, what are you waiting for if you don't thank me? Is it necessary for His Majesty to urge you three times and ask four times?"

After hearing what Prince Yi said, Xue Pan stopped thinking about whether he was competent, and quickly accepted the order to thank him, thinking that the boat would be straight when it reached the bridge.

Only then did Yongzheng nod in satisfaction, and said, "Prince Yi has told me that this time Aqina and the others launched the palace coup, and you brothers and sisters made the first contribution, otherwise the situation would be unimaginable, and you should be rewarded. But You have to know that being promoted to a noble is a reward, but you have been promoted to the position of admiral of the Nine Gates because you have been working hard and have won my trust, so you must not disappoint my trust, otherwise, Long Kodo is a lesson for you, you know?"

Facing Yongzheng's kindness and power, Xue Pan hastily bowed in response.

Yongzheng nodded in satisfaction, and said, "If you have any other requests, you can say so, and I can consider it at your discretion."

Xue Pan raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I do have one more thing I would like to implore the emperor. I hope Your Majesty will not think that I don't know what is good or bad. In the case of the Jia family, I know that you have done a great favor, but their family was sentenced to exile." Since then, the two of them have been separated from Beijing forever, and to the orphans and widows of the Jia family, it is no different from being executed. The subordinate dared to ask the emperor to be extra merciful, not to let them go into exile, let them go home and reunite even if Farming is also good, if the emperor doesn't want to see them again, let them stop being officials within a few generations!"

Yongzheng said, "I heard that your family used to live in Jia's house, so I interceded on behalf of you in order to repay their kindness?"

Xue Pan said: "That's exactly the case, and to tell you the truth, the guilty minister Jia Zheng is still the minister's future father-in-law, and Jia Lian is also the minister's cousin-in-law. This pleading is entirely out of relatives' personal affection."

Yongzheng asked strangely: "Jia Zheng's daughter is now a family member of a criminal official, and her status is worse than that of an ordinary commoner. Are you still planning to marry her?"

Xue Pan said: "Naturally you will marry. The ancients said that a promise is a thousand gold. Even if a minister can't do it, he must at least keep his promise. Besides, the Jia family was convicted because her father, brother and others violated the law of the country. It has nothing to do with it."

Yongzheng pondered for a moment: "Since you interceded for them, the two of them have not committed any serious crimes. Let them pass on farming and education to their families from now on, and don't be officials within five generations!"

Xue Pan said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I must devote myself to repay the kindness of the Holy One."

Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Go down first."

After Xue Pan left, Yinxiang said: "Fourth brother really surprised my younger brother today. Don't you always dislike relatives and officials who protect each other? Why are you so talkative today?"

Yongzheng said: "One moment and another, it was after going through some things that I realized how rare it is to have a humane person. It is possible to stand on the sidelines and watch everyone, but it is a case that has already been concluded and dared to intercede. Be brave, besides, Xue Pan is the upstart I promoted, since he has something to ask, why don't I help him."

The members of the Jia family lived in the courtyard next to the Xue family. Although this is not the central area of ​​the city, every household is located in a wealthy family, and there are even old friends of the Jia family, but they used to curry favor with Jia. family, and now seeing that the Jia family, which has been in decline, actually lives next door to them, it can become their talk after dinner for a while.

That's why the Jia family is unwilling to go out. When they go out, they are easy to be stared at for a long time and judged, or caught and asked about the situation in the prison. Anyone will feel uncomfortable.Of course, people with background would not do that. Most of those who do these things are those servants who are used to seeing the high and the low.

That day Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were washing clothes in the yard, when they suddenly heard Li Wan screaming: "Madam! Brother Feng! Come and see who is back!" Li Wan is a well-educated daughter-in-law who never yells. yell.Mrs. Wang and the others were a little surprised, and they all came out to see if it was Jia Zheng and Jia Lian at the gate!

Jia Baoyu also ran to the door, surprised and said: "Father, second brother, why are you back? Didn't you talk about the army in Heilongjiang? Before we came out that day, the head of the prison said that you had already left!" Mrs. Xing He Youshi was so surprised that he couldn't speak, because the two of them had already been beheaded for public display, and they had already buried them hastily.

Although the two of them were thinly dressed and dirty, they were still in good spirits. Jia Lian said with a smile, "Your Majesty is merciful, and spared us from exile." The crowd hurriedly welcomed them into the house, and brought tea and water again. After drinking a whole bowl of tea, Zheng said, "It was my nephew who asked the Holy One to save me and Lian'er from exile. The two officials escorted us to the door, otherwise we would not have found it. After washing up, Lian'er and I will go to Haosheng to thank our nephew."

Seeing them coming back, Wang Xifeng was so happy from ear to ear, and said: "Brother Pan must still be in the yamen at this time, and it won't be too late. I think the master and the second master can have a good rest first, and we will meet again at night together." Go to my aunt's house to say thank you, this time it's pretty close, and the time to talk is up."

Jia Zheng said, "That's good." So he and Jia Lian washed up and went to rest. After this time in prison, his sideburns were all white. old man.
