Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Jia Amnesty didn't know what kind of resolution Jiang Enqi had made in his heart. The two of them were gossiping and entered the second door. Before entering the room, they heard laughter from inside through the curtain.

"When my cousin first entered the door, I thought I was a fairy descending to the mortal world, but I didn't expect to see it wrong."

Jia Amnesty followed Jiang Enqi into the room, and the laughter inside stopped.

Scanning the room, four people were sitting together, including his beloved wife Tang Xi. Sitting next to Tang Xi was a girl in a pink dress. She was holding Tang Xi's arm, looking very intimate. The other two Both were elderly women, one in her early forties and one in her early thirties.

With just one glance, Jia She knew the identities of these people.

The woman in her early forties was Jiang Enqi's wife Liang Shi at first glance, and the other younger woman could only be Jiang Enlin's wife Pan Shi. The cousin Jiang Yilan who caused trouble at home.

Then Jiang Enqi's introduction confirmed Jia Amnesty's conjecture.

After seeing the ceremony, Jia Amnesty didn't stay here for long, sat for a while, talked for a while, and then went to the front with Jiang Enqi.

When eating at noon, Jia Amnesty and Jiang Enqi also used it in front, and Tang Xi used it in the backyard.

After the meal, Jia Amnesty took his leave and said he would come back another day.

After returning to the other courtyard, he listened to Kong Lu begging to see him. Jia She asked Tang Xi to rest for a while, and then went to see Kong Lu in the study.

"If you have nothing important to do, I will punish you."

Kong Lu had a happy expression on his face. As for Jia Amnesty's words about punishing him, he didn't take it seriously at all, "Master, I just got the news that the prefect Huang was promoted early this morning, and he was vindicated by the eldest son of the Jiang family. Ye Zongping was sentenced to fall queen Wen Zhan, has now been imprisoned in death row."

Jia She frowned, "The action is quite fast."

"After all, it's an unjust case. If they had no ghosts in their hearts and were afraid that the old man might fall into the wrong hands, how could they have dealt with it so quickly?"

"Well, if you came to me just for this matter, you can get out now."

He had already guessed that this would be the result, but he didn't expect Huang Han to act so fast.

It seems that Huang Han also concealed something from him. Although the case of the eldest son of the Jiang family is full of witnesses and material evidence, he was framed after all. If Huang Han had the heart, how could he be wronged?He was afraid that he had the intention to deal with the Jiang family, so he didn't investigate further. He deliberately pretended to be a good person and sentenced Jiang Boxuan lightly, and let the Jiang family spend a lot of money to get Jiang Boxuan out of prison.

If he hadn't come to Yangzhou, Jiang's family didn't know how many people would survive. When the news came back to Beijing, the day lily would be cold, and grandma would die of anger when she heard the news of Jiang's accident. After cleaning up the Huang family, neither the Jiang family nor his grandmother could be rescued.

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty became more and more disgusted with the Huang family.

Fortunately, he persuaded the master to come to Yangzhou, otherwise it would be too late.

Huang Han is really good at calculating, but when he saw this cousin today, he might have accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart these days.

If Dabi can go to high school in the coming year, the Huang family's "good days" are probably still to come.

But Jia Amnesty didn't mean to sympathize with the Huang family at all. If Jiang Boxuan wanted to take revenge on the Huang family in the future, the Huang family would deserve it.

"There is one more thing. The head of the Liu family sent a lot of gifts, saying that it was an apology for offending the son. I hope the uncle can show his noble hand and let Liu Zihang go."

Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows, "Gift? What did you give?"

"What else can I give as a gift from a salt merchant? It's nothing more than some gold, silver and jewelry. But they heard that the grandma was from a scholarly family, so they sent a box of books. I opened it and saw that there were many orphans. They don't know the value of these orphan copies at all, otherwise they wouldn't have stuffed them in boxes and sent them all at once."

Jia She chuckled, "Not including the box of books, how much are those gold, silver and jewels worth?"

"About... two to three hundred thousand taels of silver." Kong Lu thought for a while and came to this result.

Jia She raised his eyebrows, "Salt merchants are indeed rich." After a pause, he said, "Go and release Liu Zihang."

He didn't intend to take Liu Zihang's life, originally he planned to subdue the salt merchant, but he heard Kong Lu said that the family sent the orphaned books as ordinary books in a box, so he gave up the idea of ​​subduing the Liu family for his own use.

This is an era when everything is low-class and only high-level students are educated. If books are so contemptible, even if the current head of the Liu family is powerful, they will not have a future. Judging by Liu Zihang's virtue, maybe he will use his power to bully others in the future. Why bother to make trouble for yourself for some money?

He lacks everything except money.

"Just let it go like this?" Kong Lu was a little surprised, he thought Jia She would be useful in keeping Liu Zihang, but now he let it go so easily...

Jia Amnesty glanced at him, "Do you want me to say it a second time?" Before Kong Lu could ask, he left the study and walked towards the backyard.

Although he didn't know why his uncle suddenly changed his mind, he still released Liu Zihang as promised.

After two or three days, the news that the eldest son of the Jiang family was cleared of his grievances and his fame was restored spread throughout Yangzhou. Similarly, although Huang Han, the magistrate who rehabilitated the eldest son of the Jiang family, was scolded for a while, he was soon dismissed. The voice of praising him as the master of Qingtian was drowned out, but the official voice was greatly improved.

In this regard, Jia Amnesty asked someone to investigate, and it turned out that Huang Han was behind the trick, asking someone to manipulate the rumors behind his back.

This magistrate is smart, but it's a pity... he doesn't have to focus on the right path.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The turmoil caused by Jia Amnesty's coming to Yangzhou in a blink of an eye

Instead of being replaced by various other news, Jia Amnesty kept a low profile in Yangzhou, and sometimes took Tang Xi out for fun. In ten and a half months, he almost visited all the famous places in Yangzhou.

Calculating the time, there are still two months before the Chinese New Year. Jia She was thinking about it, so he asked people to pack their bags and sent someone to Jiang's house to ask questions. Jiang Boxuan will participate in the big competition next year, and they will return to Beijing soon. Do Jiang Boxuan want to go with him? Let's go to Beijing together.

It didn't take long for the Jiang family to send someone to invite them. Jia Amnesty didn't bring Tang Xi there this time, and brought Xu Jie to the door by himself.

When he came to Jiang's house, Jia Amnesty was invited to the study in the main courtyard, where Jiang Enqi usually reads and practiced calligraphy.

After Jiang Enqi explained the reason for inviting Jia She to come, Jia She showed a surprised expression on his face, "Cousin asked my cousin to come to Beijing with us?"

"But what's the inconvenience?" Seeing Jia Amnesty's surprise, Jiang Enqi felt a little uneasy.

Jia She shook his head and pondered, "My cousin is in her young age, so she should be talking about marriage, right? Coming to Beijing with us at this time, won't it affect her marriage?"

Hearing this, Jiang Enqi knew Jia Amnesty's scruples, and immediately smiled wryly, "I was a Jinshi in the first place, but I didn't become an official, so I went back to Yangzhou. Now it is difficult to choose a suitable candidate for Lan'er, otherwise it will be too late. I won't be blackmailed by the Huang family, and it will almost bring disaster to the whole family. Although the crisis caused by the Huang family has been resolved, Lan'er's marriage is still a problem. Pick a good family with all four corners, so as not to bury her."

Jia Amnesty suddenly realized, he said that his cousin was at the age of marriage, why did he choose this time to come to Beijing with him.

It wasn't that he suspected that the Jiang family wanted to give him his cousin as a concubine. How could the Jiang family be willing to let their daughter be a concubine?

If the cousin of the family of Rongguo Mansion is married as the grandniece of the old Mrs. Guogong's family, with the support of his cousin, it is indeed obvious to pick a better candidate than the current one.

"So, I understand, don't worry, cousin."

Jiang Enqi smiled slightly, "Of course I don't worry about your family. There is no need to worry about your cousin's marriage. She is only three months old, and she can afford to wait a year or two. It's because my aunt is not in good health. It's better to let her wait a little longer. Accompany my aunt to relieve my aunt's homesickness."

……

After returning from Jiang's house, Jia Amnesty conveyed to Tang Xi the news that his cousin was going to Beijing together.

Tang Xi was a little surprised, "Yilan is the age at which we are going to marry. Will coming to Beijing with us now affect her marriage?"

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty laughed, hugged him into his arms, and said, "I asked my cousin the same way at the time, and my cousin said that he had passed the Jinshi examination and did not become an official, and now it is difficult to find a good husband for my cousin. The choice of son-in-law. But I feel that my cousin is worried that people in Yangzhou will think badly about his cousin. Even if he comes to propose marriage, he will inevitably look down on his cousin. Although the turmoil in the Huang family has passed, after all, it was because of her cousin , some people think that the cousin is a disaster. Why don't you come to Beijing with us and ask grandma to choose a good husband for the cousin. "

Tang Xi laughed when she heard that, "Do you believe that?"

"Of course I don't believe it," Jia She said with a smile, "I told you when I came here that I came to Yangzhou to look for them because my grandmother was in poor health and missed my family. How could my cousin ignore my grandmother for his daughter's marriage?" Even if he really doesn’t care about his grandmother’s health, it’s impossible for our family to ignore his grandmother’s health just because of his thoughts. Grandma has been ill in bed for a long time, and she hasn’t been out for a long time. It’s just that grandma wants to help her cousin. People are also powerless."

"My wife's social circle is all honorable people, my cousin must look down on me." Tang Xi took the conversation.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "So what Uncle Cousin means is that he wants you to help Cousin find a good family."

"I was born in a scholarly family, and my grandfather and father were both high officials in the court. Although my grandfather has resigned, Your Majesty still misses my grandfather, and my cousin stays in Yangzhou. Since I can't find a good husband and son-in-law, it is better to let her come with me. Jing, if I can go back to my mother's house and mention it, it would not be difficult to choose a husband-in-law for my cousin with all four corners with our family connections." Tang Xi smiled as she spoke, "Cousin, for the sake of cousin, still It took so much pains.”

Jia She sighed, "A loving father."

"The uncle was afraid that he would not dare to directly ask me for help, so he asked us to take Yilan to Beijing under the guise of asking grandma to come to see her. When the time comes, we will find that grandma can't help Yilan at all. Picking a husband, I married into Jia’s family, my grandmother loves me very much, when the time comes when my grandmother wants to pick a husband for Yilan, but she can’t go out, this matter will still fall on me in the end.”

Jia Amnesty kissed her, "Unhappy?"

"No, I've met Yilan. She's a very nice girl. If she stays in Yangzhou, it would be a waste. It's just that my cousin beats around the bush, which makes me seem like a small-hearted person. Could it be that I can refuse when he mentions it? ?" Tang Xi angrily leaned against Jia She's arms.

Jia She chuckled, "It's because he mentioned it, and you won't refuse, so he's worried about offending you. After all, he's a distant relative, and he's not familiar with it. It's reasonable for him to think so, so there's no need to be annoyed."

"Ah."

"Cousin will be chaotic if you care about it. Don't think about it. It's all other people's business. Then you can spend a little time picking a good family." Jia She carried Tang Xi and walked to the soft couch, "Don't worry about it." Think about it, let's rest."

The sound of frolicking came from the room, and it didn't take long for it to quiet down, and a blushing voice came out.

Wan Qing outside the house glanced at the maidservants, blushed and ordered them to call the servants to prepare water.
