[Red Mansion] Master is always taken away

The old man was bleeding from a knock on the back of his head, and when the imperial doctor came and opened the pharmacy, Jia Amnesty gradually woke up.

But at this time, in the Rongguo Mansion, the news that the old man was crazy was spread all over the place, and it gradually spread to the outside world. When Jia Lian came back from outside, he heard that the old man was "crazy", and begged Jia Mu and the maid to beat her with a whip.

There is only one person in the mansion who knows the truth, and here is Mrs. Xing. This feeling that everyone is drunk and she is awake alone makes Mrs. Xing feel astringent, and she can't tell what it feels like.

Although Mrs. Xing is cowardly and timid, and is always called a stupid woman by the master and Jia's mother, she is not a fool. Freedom's own calculations are just the way other people in Jia's house look down on her.

The master is not "crazy", the master is... something wrong!

She waited on Jia Amnesty with her eyebrows lowered. Jia's mother saw that Mrs. Xing was not panicked at all, but she changed a lot towards her in her heart. You must know that the boss was like that before, and her own mother was so shocked that her hairs stood on end.

In the palace, Emperor Xianning was with the Seventh Prince Tu Jun and heard what the youngest son said about it.Because Tu Jun was interested in the new Rong Guogong, he had been paying close attention to Jia She. There was no secret in the Rong Mansion. The story of the Elder going crazy and begging to be whipped was almost spread throughout the capital under the propaganda of "people with a heart".

Most of the people are the elders who have been haunted. Didn't they see that Ma Daopo was paralyzed by the "unclean" thing and couldn't even speak?

But this Ma Daopo is not a thing, Rong Mansion's Jia Mu is quite kind, and gave her a few hundred taels of pension silver, but it's a pity that when the people carried this Ma Daopo home to take her home, they found that Ma Daopo's house had a demon-suppressing person The sorcerer's supplies are simply performing witchcraft.When the yamen heard about this involvement, they began to investigate the case. All kinds of vile and evil things Ma Daopo had done gradually surfaced, revealing the secrets of many aristocratic backyards.

Emperor Xianning shook his head when he heard this. The women in these aristocratic families were really vicious in their minds. From this, he thought of his harem, and couldn't help but frowned...

"Father?" Seeing Emperor Xianning's complexion, Tu Jun asked probingly.

"It's all right." Emperor Xianning smiled and said, "You pay so much attention to Jia Shenhou Jia Enhou, I happen to have a matter here and I want you to go to the Rongguo Mansion as an assistant."

Tu Jun blinked, um, he happened to be going to see what the "madman" Jia She was like, this guy is so interesting, maybe he can watch another good show.

Emperor Xianning asked the Seventh Prince to bring a group of people from the household department to the Rongguo Mansion directly. Because Jia Amnesty was still "ill", the time to come to Rongxi Hall was slower. Jia Mu and Jia Zheng kowtowed to the Seventh Prince first.

Tu Jun frowned, "Duke Rong is sick? Can I visit him?"

After Jia Zheng heard this, he hurried to take the prince to the garden in person. Tu Jun felt a little strange, and suddenly remembered that the old lady in the Rongguo Mansion was eccentric and let Xijue's eldest son live in the garden next to the stable. Here, now that I have seen the grandeur of the Rongxi Hall with my own eyes, and then look at the courtyard of the big house in a corner, the look is not very good-looking.

Such an unruly family!

Although Tu Jun was thinking this way, he didn't say much. I'm afraid his father knew about it. It's just that Shi Taijun is the wife of Chaopin, and it can be regarded as the family affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention that there is no censor to engrave the Rongguo Mansion yet, so it's naturally not good. An order was issued.Besides, the father is busy with everything, and he was too lazy to take care of it in the past. If Jia She hadn't been capable, the father might have forgotten who Jia She was.

The principals and servants behind the Seventh Prince, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng didn't know how to arrange them, and he didn't know the chiefs of the household department, so he only regarded them as the seventh prince's entourage. The prince came to visit his elder brother.

Jia Amnesty was getting dressed at this time, but coughed from time to time, Mrs. Xing was really worried, the imperial doctor didn't say it was all right, why did he cough.Last time the master coughed up some blood, which made the veil red, but the master himself didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, Jia Amnesty coughed twice again, "Ahem..."

"Master, your injuries are not healed..." Mrs. Xing saw that Jia She insisted on going to Rongxi Hall to meet the Seventh Prince, the little thought of "being honored" in her heart faded a lot, and the master's body was more important .

"It's nothing. I know my body, but it's just a cough." Jia Amnesty didn't take it seriously, and Madam Xing looked helpless.

He looked in the bronze mirror and was dissatisfied with the bun he had put together, so he simply tore it off and tied a part of it with a hair tie, but the hair underneath was untied. Easy so straight.

He just went out like this, and before he reached the Rongxi Hall, he met the Seventh Prince and his party in the garden.

Tu Jun looked at Jia She, his eyes wide open.Especially Duke Rong's hair, he didn't blink for a long time, his gaze followed the curly ends of Jia Amnesty's head.

"I pay homage to His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness." Jia Amnesty paid his respects.

Tu Jun waved his hand and said no, but said politely: "I am here to see the Duke by order of my father." After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia She's body to see where there was a "problem".

Jia She smiled gently, and wanted to talk at first, but his lungs were unwell, so he coughed a few times, and said after a while: "It's nothing serious, it's not a big deal for me to be injured by a martial artist."

"Really? Is it really healed?" Tu Jun frowned, but he heard that his body was covered with blood in the past two days.

Hearing that Jia She nodded, his expression was very reliable, he looked like a sincere gentleman who made people have to trust him, in fact, the "blood hole" on Jia She's body had already healed, and for some reason, half of others It took only two days for the wound to heal, but he recovered as before, which made the imperial doctor who just came for a follow-up visit this morning still very puzzled.

Tu Jun thought of the business, and said with a smile: "It's done when it's done. If you need any medicinal materials, you are welcome, Duke Rong."

Jia She felt that the Seventh Prince was really approachable, and he felt a slight liking for him, but he suddenly remembered that the emperor sent the prince to the mansion, probably not just to visit an insignificant courtier, so he asked considerately: "Your Highness is here to collect money? This is my crime, I should take the initiative to send it back to the household department..."

Speaking of this, Jia She blamed himself slightly, feeling very guilty.A few days ago when he entered the palace, he pleaded guilty to the emperor, promising that the Rongguo Mansion would repay the debt, but he failed to pay it back in time... This is not the way of a gentleman.

Jia She coughed twice, he was unwilling to pay debts, no matter if it was debts of favor, money, or even love—the melancholy flashed in his eyes, cousin Yin'er...

Tu Jun had heard Jia She's coughing many times, and he was uncomfortable hearing it. He thought that when he returned to the palace, he must go to the imperial hospital to find some top-quality snow lotus. Presumably, his father would agree. After all, the state treasury is in debt. The first one to take the initiative to repay.

At this time, Jia Zheng, who was watching from the sidelines, didn't understand, so he said, "Brother, what money?"

Jia She said apologetically, "I forgot to tell my mother and second brother. I entered the palace a few days ago and already pleaded guilty to His Majesty. Our family has owed the treasury money for so many years. It is time to pay it back quickly. Now the second brother and sister In charge of the public office, I don't know if the family's money can make up for it?"

Jia Zheng froze for a moment, "Does our family still owe the treasury money?"

"Second brother doesn't know?"

Jia Zheng shook his head. He has always done things according to his duty, obeyed the law, and behaved cleanly, but he never thought that his family still owed money to the treasury, so he hurriedly expressed his loyalty in front of His Royal Highness: "It should be paid back!" As he said, he bowed to Tu Jun Clasping hands: "May I ask, Your Highness, how much money is owed by the minister's family? Now, I asked my wife to open the warehouse and count the money."

Tu Jun smiled, and nodded slightly to Jia Amnesty. He looked at Jia Zheng kindly, thinking that this man was hopeless, but after hearing what he said, Jia Zheng was still loyal to the court.He asked the head of the household department behind him to explain. The head took out a ledger and pointed out the evidence. He showed various debts that the Rongguo Mansion once owed: "The first palace is 68 taels of silver."

"Ah—" This was Jia Zheng's cry. His heart stopped for a moment, and then his forehead was sweating profusely, and he wanted to ask with trembling mouth. He simply remembered that he was not allowed to question unbridled questions in front of the Seventh Prince, so his eyes fell on Jia She. body.

Jia She had this impression in his mind. His father seemed to have mentioned a few words when he was alive. He was so confused in the past that he almost forgot. After calculating and adding interest, the debt of 68 taels should not be bad.

"Second brother, let's open the warehouse." Jia She's words directly confirmed that this was true. Jia Zheng was dizzy and murmured: "Does our family have so much money?" Hearing Mrs. Wang say that the family finances are difficult, so he is not very clear about the family's wealth.

Jia Amnesty coughed, and took Tu Jun to the storeroom. The keys to the big storeroom belonged to Jia Mu and the second wife. Jia Mu heard that the seventh prince and the eldest son asked her for the key. She was startled, and then she found out after asking. He actually made the decision without authorization and wanted to repay the debt owed by the treasury.

Her face is ugly, the boss looks really crazy!

She just said... just said... this unscrupulous boss, if he can stay in front of the emperor in a nonchalant manner, if the family repays the money from the treasury, wouldn't he be drinking the northwest wind tomorrow? !

What's more, which of the four princes and eight princes doesn't owe the state treasury several 10 taels of silver, and this time they are in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, wouldn't the other households be alienated from them?

But the matter has come to this point, the emperor actually sent the prince, so Jia Mu had no choice but to open the box and let Yuanyang take the key to the Seventh Highness.

Afterwards, Mother Jia patted the table several times, gnashing her teeth in anger.

Although there is not 100 million taels of silver in the treasury, four-fifths of it is taken away, 68 taels is still enough, but Rongguo Mansion now only has 10,000+ taels of silver left, but the master and slaves of the huge mansion are no less than 1000 people , Which of these people can't afford to spend every day, this 10,000+ taels of silver is not enough for the family's expenses for two or three years, not to mention there are several juniors who are not married.

Tu Jun obviously also knew the expenses of the aristocratic family, he had no ill feeling towards Jia Amnesty, and looked at him slightly worried.

Jia She smiled slightly, "Your Highness Seventh, don't worry. The minister's family started from the humble beginnings. Our ancestors followed His Majesty to conquer the world. They also ate coarse grains and bran-swallowed vegetables. Now they are just frugal. Besides, the minister's family still has some shops and Zhuangzi. , you won’t be hungry.”

Money is something outside of oneself, even this big house in Rongguo Mansion, if the emperor wanted to take it back, he would not feel heartbroken.The world is so big, he is more eager to go wandering, and it is good to see the customs and customs of the northwest desert outside the pass, if he can devote himself to the martial arts, he will be more free.

Jia Amnesty didn't like strife in the officialdom, and thinking of him winning the first prize, he couldn't help but want to resign from office.On the contrary, Yin'er's cousin also died of illness, and when Lian'er's life is no longer worry-free, he will leave this house and go far away...

Seeing Jia She's expression of desolation for no reason, Tu Jun thought he was lamenting the decline of the Rongguo Mansion, but he didn't expect that after their mansion returned the money from the treasury, there was only this money left. He decided to tell his father about it. Jia Amnesty should be rewarded.

The servants of the household department carried boxes of silver out of the Rongguo Mansion. At this time, not only the masters of the whole mansion knew about it, but also the servants, big and small, all probed their heads. stand up.

"Master is really crazy!"

"Master is trapped!"

"It seems that Daoist Ma is not strong enough to cure the master..."

"Shh, you're looking for death. Didn't you hear from the higher ups, does this Ma Daopo practice witchcraft? This is a capital crime, a capital crime for the whole family!"

"..." Mrs. Wang is a female family member. Even though she is so eager to scratch her heart at this time, she dare not go out and quarrel with the prince. The money in the warehouse is still gone. What will Baoyu get in the future?Don't talk about this, just say that Baoyu has to marry a daughter-in-law, what should be the dowry gift? !

Mrs. Wang's anger was not going well, and the more she thought about it, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if a knife was cutting her heart.

Now that the money is being sent away and Tu Jun has completed the task, he should have left immediately, but he is hesitant, and it is better to say what is in his heart.

"Your Highness wants to see my throwing knife?" Jia She was taken aback for a moment, but seeing the earnest gaze of the Seventh Prince, whose gaze was "forgiving", he agreed.

Tu Jun ordered someone to hang a few apples on a rope from the plane tree in the garden, and then looked at Jia She with bright eyes.

Jia She asked the boy to bring some of his carving knives, and quickly found copper coins and fans. They haven't seen the master carving wooden figures with carving knives in the past few days, but they didn't expect this to happen again.

Jia She held three carving knives between his fingers, the breeze was blowing, and the sun was shining on his face. Tu Jun watched from the side, a little dazed. There were bad rumors, but the rumors were not credible, and even the warehouse of the Rongguo Mansion was not managed by the wife of the eldest family, but the second wife.

Jia Amnesty stood still for a while, and Tu Jun came back to his senses and found that Jia Amnesty's fingers had not moved. He was a little anxious and asked, "Mr. Rong?"

"...Ah?" Jia She came to his senses, opened his eyes, with a dazed expression——"Dang", the carving knives in his hand suddenly fell to the ground due to his letting go.

Tu Jun frowned, didn't he want a flying knife?Why can't I hold the knife... Did I disturb him? !

Jia She lowered his head, then raised his head again, just in time to see a few apples in front of him, the bright red apples were just about to sway gently with the breeze because of the string hanging on them——

"Who is this? Why did you hang the apple there?!" Jia Amnesty pouted.

At this time, Jia Zheng and his son Jia Lian were accompanying him. Seeing that the seventh prince was frowning at this time, Jia Lian hurriedly said in a low voice, "Master, didn't you just say you want the fruit of flying knives?" He knew it, the old lady and the second master also knew about it, but they didn't believe it very much, but that's what the emperor said, and they only thought that the master saved him by chance, but Jia Lian firmly believed that the master was both civil and military. It's hiding clumsiness.

Jia Amnesty was reminded, "Oh", and turned to look at the Seventh Prince.

He hurriedly bent down and smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness Seventh!"

Tu Jun felt uncomfortable for some reason, "I am waiting for Duke Rong to shoot this fruit."

"Shoot them—" Jia She laughed, as if he had promised the Seventh Prince just now.

He picked up the carving knife, looked at the distance between the apple and himself, and shot straight away, "Your Highness, you can't blame me if I can't shoot correctly."

After all, Jia Amnesty stretched out his arms, wanting to shoot but feeling lacking in confidence, isn't it nonsense to be so far away?

This Highness is really messing around, he actually made things difficult for himself.

After shaking and shaking, and brewing again, the carving knife in Jia She's hand flew limply towards the apple... As you can imagine, Tu Jun felt that the shot was wrong when he held hands with Jia She!

Sure enough, the flying knife didn't hit a single apple.

Jia She laughed awkwardly: "Your Highness, forgive me! I made a mistake! I made a mistake! Hehe..."

Tu Jun suddenly felt a little cold. If Jia She hadn't lied to him, he and his father would have lost their lives that day. After all, the assassin was only an inch away from his father at that time. It's unlucky, if Jia She A bad head--

At this time, there was a sound of "thumping", which startled Tu Jun's deep thinking, and Jia She also looked up, only to see a gray sparrow with a knife stuck in its wing, it was the carving knife that Jia She threw out just now. one.

The sparrow was "thumping" and "thumping" and struggling, Jia She looked overjoyed and said: "Your Highness, it seems that the subject's aim is still very good! Shooting living things is accurate!"

"..." The corner of Tu Jun's mouth twitched for a long time, and finally pulled out an arc, and he said "haha" twice.

Jia Lian covered his face, even Jia Zheng was instantly ashamed.

Jia She is still cheeky and doesn't feel ashamed, he thinks that the Seventh Prince won't blame him, not to mention he made a statement in advance.He didn't say that he never missed a shot and hit every shot.

Squinting his eyes and smiling, Jia She looked at Tu Jun flatteringly, Tu Junxu responded with a few words, and left Rongguo Mansion with a little unsteady footsteps...
