Jiang Ling is naturally familiar with Jinling Official Protector Talisman.

Whether it was watching the Dream of Red Mansions in the previous life, or accompanying Emperor Kangxi on his southern tour last time, Jinling official amulet has added a lot of color to it.King Xue and Jia Shi, the four big families firmly occupy Jinling City, weaving into a dense net.Except for the historian who has been in hiding all the time, the other three families of King Xue and Jia have more or less recorded a sum in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and now they are in danger of protecting themselves.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and Xue Pan, the prodigal son, was the first one to be confiscated.

Because the Wang family wanted to keep the Xue family, they were also cut off two official positions.

The Jia family survived this hurdle narrowly and narrowly. The Ningguo Mansion was impeached one after another, and the Rongguo Mansion cut off their wrists to save themselves. They got a little respite from the storm.But no one knows how many accounts have been accumulated in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials. Even if Jia Yucun dereliction of duty and Jia Lian's filial piety did not abide by the rules, it was enough to make Rongguo Mansion lose a lot of skin.

What's more, the accusations accumulated by the Rongguo Mansion over the years are not just a little bit.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and let out a slow breath.In fact, until now she didn't know whether what she reminded Xue Baochai that day was right or wrong.Logically speaking, whoever committed the crime should bear the responsibility. The few girls in Jia's mansion, as well as the hundred and ten people in the whole mansion, most of them are innocent.That's why Jiang Ling spoke up last time.but--

I hope that my original actions were not wrong.

Of course, if she makes a mistake, she will use ten times her energy to make up for it.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "I would like to ask you to go outside to find out again, the Rongning Second House, and the three families of Xue, Wang, and Shi who are involved in the Jinling Protector Talisman, in this storm, what will happen?" What a situation."

Mammy answered, and went out to investigate the situation.

Jiang Ling rubbed his temples, raised his eyes to look at Genglou, it was two quarters in the afternoon.

After returning to the capital, Kangxi's affairs became quite numerous, and the visits every afternoon disappeared unknowingly.Jiang Ling looked at it for a while, guessing that it would take at least three or four quarters of an hour for the female officials to have lunch and take a nap, and then gently released a wisp of light fragrance, covering the Rongguo Mansion several miles away. .This time, she didn't dare to make too much publicity, and only pulled one person into the dream.

Mother Jia.

Since the accident in Xue's family, Jia's mother has been in good and bad health all the time. Although supported by the Rongguo family and Lin Daiyu who sent some ginseng and deer antlers from time to time, she is old and frail, and stares every day. After waking up for three or two hours, he fell asleep again drowsily.Jiang Ling's choice of Jia Mu's dream is the least likely to disturb other people.

And at this time, Mother Jia may be the calmest and most aware of the overall situation.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and created an empty valley in the dream. There was a huge Buddhist temple in the valley, and melodious bells came from it.She sat on a big tree next to the Buddhist temple, flicked her two fingers, and there were dozens of monks chanting the Buddha's name in the temple.

Jia Mu woke up in the wing room of the Buddhist temple.

The curling sandalwood, the melodious Buddha's name, and the fresh air after the summer rain all indicate that this is a dream.

Mother Jia moved her hands and feet, and found that her originally weak body regained strength in the dream, so she walked out of the wing room, went to the lobby where the Buddhist scriptures were being chanted, found an empty futon, and knelt down to the Buddha.

A benevolent monk asked, "What do you want to say?"

Jia Mu clasped her hands together, recited the Buddha's name for a while, and murmured: "May the Buddha bless my family with wealth and glory."

The sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures around stopped suddenly, and the benevolent monk twitched his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "To this day, the Rongguo Mansion is still rich and prosperous? The household department checks the accounts, and the official department checks the previous years. How many cases have the government left behind, and what is the face, begging for wealth and glory in front of the Buddha!"

Mother Jia clasped her hands together, bowed slightly to the eminent monk, and said: "The great monk is right. But the great monk knows that in this secular world, if there is no wealth and glory, it will be difficult to walk, and even a sliver of shelter will be impossible. The Rongguo Mansion has indeed done a lot of dirty things, but in the final analysis, it is also for the long-term wealth and glory of the entire family. Our mansion has a noble concubine in the palace, and a princess in the king's mansion. The rest of the marriages They are all different. It is because of this that they are well-informed, have eyes and ears, and have the opportunity to retreat from the whole body. Today, the good girl begs for wealth and glory, and it is also for the continuous blessing of the whole family."

The benevolent monk scolded: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

Jia Mu said frankly: "The world is like this."

So the monk stopped talking, and the rest of the monks inside were also silent. Only Jia Mu took a wooden fish and knocked it in front of the Buddha. tree.

Jiang Ling sat on the treetop and watched all this, not knowing what it was like.

Just as I was about to ask the monk to say something, suddenly Jia Mu's voice of knocking on the wooden fish became heavier, and the voice came over unhurriedly: "Everyone in the world is chasing after fame and fortune, the Great Monk is a master outside the world. Naturally, they will not understand the distress of mediocre people like us. Nowadays, believers only have two wishes, one is to live a long life, and the other is to enjoy the wealth and glory of Rongguo Mansion forever. I hope the Buddha will bless you."

After finishing speaking, Jia Mu recited a Buddhist scripture that Jiang Ling couldn't understand in the sound of the wooden fish.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and Jia's mother said, "Now that the accounts of the Ningguo Mansion are being confiscated, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion is in danger. , What a misfortune! I hope that the Buddha can hear the words of the believer, bestow a golden body, and protect my family's wealth and glory, goodness."

Then he gently placed the mallet beside the wooden fish, recited another Buddhist scripture, and left the Buddhist temple.

When passing the tree where Jiang Ling lived, Mother Jia sighed heavily and said, "I hope Yuan Chun can help this time." She suddenly looked up again.Jiang Ling was surrounded by lush leaves, which completely covered him, and Jia's mother never saw it.

After walking for a short distance, Mother Jia suddenly stopped and said to herself, "Maybe there is another person..."

Jia Mu's voice became erratic, and even her body became indistinct, as if she couldn't see clearly through a layer of hazy water mirror.I only heard Jia Mu say: "She is in the palace, and the Rongguo Mansion is outside the palace. It should not be difficult to forge some documents. As long as she is involved, I don't believe she can stay out of it. Originally, Jia Lian also said that the My lord is far away in the south of the Five Ridges, so far away I can't quench my thirst, but now it seems that it is a great thing."

Jiang Ling sat on a tall tree branch, looking at Jia Mu through the gaps in the leaves, with a surprised expression.

Jia's mother stopped and said to herself: "But this matter should be discussed with others. Anyway, I just need to say that she and Yingchun had sworn sisters. Who knows if it is true or not? Well. As long as everyone in our house agrees, it won't be considered wrong."

Having said that, Jia Mu struggled to wake up.

Jiang Ling didn't want to keep her in her dream anymore, so she flicked her fingers and sent Jia Mu out of the dream.That wisp of light fragrance wafted through the Rongguo Mansion, and unknowingly drifted to Jia Baoyu's courtyard, drawing Xue Baochai who was taking a nap into a dream.

"here it is……"

As soon as Xue Baochai fell asleep, she was taken aback.

The empty valley, the melodious Buddha's name, the fresh air after the summer rain.

Under the big tree in front of the Buddhist temple, there was a man standing there, whose face could not be seen clearly from a distance.When I got closer and looked again, I realized that it was the concubine Yun I had seen in the palace before.Xue Baochai took two steps forward, Yingying bowed down and said: "My wife has seen your mother, and your mother is safe."

Jiang Ling's eyes flickered again and again, before he said after a long time: "There is no need to be polite."

But Xue Baochai couldn't afford it. Instead, she gave Jiang Ling a big gift in an upright manner, and then said: "My wife thanked Master Yun for his great kindness. If Master Yun hadn't said that day, 'You should change the seller's property to balance the accounts', today's honor The country's mansion is already in danger. The minister's wife, Meng Yunpin, pointed out that the accounts were settled, and the Rongguo mansion was temporarily stabilized. I am very grateful to the minister's wife."

After saying that, Xue Baochai kowtowed upright again.

Jiang Ling stood there motionless and did not speak for a long time.

Xue Baochai continued: "But because the minister's wife cannot enter the palace at any time, even if she wants to enter the palace to thank Concubine Yun, there is no way. Now that I see Concubine Yun here, I should show my gratitude with all the courtesy." After finishing speaking, He just stood up, but still with his head down.

Jiang Ling was silent for a long time before asking: "How is your house now?"

Xue Baochai said: "For the time being, we have avoided the storm. The Grand View Garden is calm, and the sisters and sisters are fine. Oh, but in the past two days, the second wife sent a few maids out of the house, saying that our house can no longer support them." There are so many people. It's just... It's just that our family, because of the Jinling case, was broken by the emperor earlier, and my brother was imprisoned because of that incident, and now there is no one in charge of the family. The house is going to be completely ruined. My mother asked me to find a way from the Rongguo Mansion, but there is no way to think about it now, even my uncle is involved in an old case, and I can't get out of it."

Just like the last time in Jinling, the four families of King Xue and Jia Shi were involved in the turmoil, except for the historian Shenyin.

Jiang Ling was silent for a while, and asked, "Where's your old lady?"

Just now, Jia Mu said that she asked to beg the Buddha to keep the wealth and glory of the family.

Xue Baochai said: "Our old lady has already contracted an illness, and she is recuperating in her room these days. Our wife, and the eldest wife, have been waiting for you all the time. The imperial doctors all said that the old lady may not have a few years to live. Oh, oh yes, Master Yun, I have heard that when you were in the mansion, you were our master's adopted daughter, and you also sworn sisters with the second girl, is this... is it true?"

Jiang Ling suddenly raised his head and looked at her, speechless for a long time.

Xue Baochai was taken aback: "Yun... can't stop? Is this a fake?!"

Jiang Ling still looked at Xue Baochai silently.

Xue Baochai looked at Jiang Ling in astonishment.

After a long time, Xue Baochai said: "In this way, it seems that the mansion is thinking about Master Yun."

Jiang Ling asked, "What did they say?"

Xue Baochai thought for a while before answering: "This matter has been spread in our mansion, but there are no documents to exemplify it. But because the old lady kept her word in the mansion, no one dared to go into it. People in the mansion once said, 'If This matter is done, even if Yuan Chun's successor is weak in the future, we can take advantage of this situation and come back together once. That girl's thoughts are much smarter than Yuan Chun's. It's a pity that she couldn't win her over that day. If she can stay in Yuan Chun In the erotic palace, raising the child under the name of Yuan Chun in the future will be another bargaining chip." I, I thought it was the wretched women in the mansion, talking nonsense." At this point, Xue Baochai suddenly covered her mouth, her face pale. slight change.

She shouldn't have said these words.

Jiang Ling smiled for a moment, a faint fragrance lingered in the air, and asked softly, "What else did you hear?"

Xue Baochai thought to herself that this was a dream, and even if she confided it, it wouldn't be a big deal, and no one would hear it anyway, so she said, "I also heard rumors in the mansion that...' In the future, she will give birth to a prince, and she must try to get along with her." The Jia family is connected together. In the future, if the child is crowned prince, the Jia family will be able to continue its glory and wealth for another 50 years. It is a pity that she was not retained that day. If she is more ruthless and labels her as Yuanchun's dowry, it will be a matter of course Yes. The child who is married to Tongfang should be recorded in the name of the mistress.' Yunyun."

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

As if bewitched, Xue Baochai murmured: "There are... and some words, which are too unbearable to hear. He, where will she still be alive by then? The little prince in the palace cannot live without Er Niang. She lived in our mansion back then, so we can use this name to bring the little prince over and raise him. When the little prince grows up, When I grow up, I will only remember my adoptive mother and my grandfather’s family, and I will not remember her.” This was mentioned by a woman, but I don’t know if it has reached the ears of the old lady, the first wife, and the second wife.”
