Amnesty's daily life

There is a world of difference between history and reality.

When viewing history, most people criticize it arbitrarily with a superior attitude, as if every bystander is a victor who has strategized, and by the same token, those losers are hopeless idiots.However, is this really true?

When history became reality, Nala Shuxian no longer had the position to question those former princelings.Why did they follow the prince?The reason is very simple, the prince is bestowed by the current emperor, heir to the throne, and a symbol of orthodoxy.Of course, if the Crown Prince himself is not good, there may be some people who will question him, but unfortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is young and promising, so he can't find any faults.Especially in the present moment, the prince is a perfect existence.

In this case, unless it is about personal interests, who else will oppose the prince?In fact, in Nala Shuxian's previous life, if Emperor Kangxi hadn't rejected the prince Yinreng, who would have the ability to overthrow the prince?

However, it has only been 46 years since Duan Leap, and nothing has happened yet.I'm afraid that at this time, even the current Emperor Changqing has never considered the matter of abolishing the crown prince.However, the four kings and eight princes are all the most orthodox supporters of the throne, and the people they associate with naturally have similar ideas, so Nala Shuxian looked around and couldn't find anyone who opposed the prince.Of course, it is not uncommon to say that there are people who oppose the crown prince. Supporters like the eldest prince are typical opposing factions.The problem is, that La Shuxian would only choose the eldest prince unless her mind is caught between the cracks of the door...

"The Zhang family, the Pan family, the Ling family, the Zhou family, and the Jia family have formed sons and daughters, and their positions in the court must be completely consistent. I don't know the situation of the other three families, but at least the Jia family has a good relationship. All of them are princelings. Presumably, the Pan family and others are also the same." Nala Shuxian sighed, this is simply what the folks call pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud. The same is true, then it is no wonder that Emperor Kangxi would be so afraid of the prince.

"Orthodoxy." Twelve picked up the small table beside him, finally reached a piece of pastry, held it up to his eyes for a closer look, saw that it was a sesame cake, and curled his lips slightly to express his dissatisfaction, but he still stuffed it into his mouth.

"Don't be sarcastic." Nala Shuxian glanced over and saw that Twelve was eating again, she couldn't hold back and snatched it away, "Don't always think about eating, talk!"

"Didn't they all talk about orthodoxy?" Twelve grievances looked at La Shuxian aggrievedly, "After all, not everyone is as careless about orthodoxy as Emperor Qianlong."

"Tell me the solution!"

"There's nothing to say." Twelve pursed his lips helplessly, seeing that La Shuxian was still staring at him, he said, "In the 47th year of Kangxi, the crown prince was abolished for the first time, but he didn't die that time. A few people...was abolished in September of 47, he came out in December, and he was reinstated in March of the following year. At least in the past two years, nothing major will happen, even if he waits until October 51, [-] It’s not a big problem if the degree is abolished.”

"According to what you say, we'll be fine?" Nala Shuxian narrowed her eyes and looked at Twelve dangerously. Although she had never read through that period of history, she had heard about it since it wasn't long before. Yes, at least in her impression, many families were destroyed because of this, and even the whole family was implicated.

Twelve looked at La Shuxian resentfully, but didn't speak for a while.

It's a pity that Nala Shuxian never knew what the word "kindness" was, and she still stared straight at Twelve, but Nanny Rong, who was at the side, felt a little soft-hearted, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Twelve, just say Well, although the old slave is just a slave, the old slave also remembers that many people died at that time, and the land at Caishikou has been shoveled for many floors."

Caishikou is specially used to execute death row prisoners. It is unavoidable to behead a large amount of blood, and once there is too much blood, it will mix with the soil and condense into a thick layer of blood scab. In this case, rinsing with water has little effect. The only way is to shovel off the ground directly.

"That's Huang Mafa..." Twelve was almost speechless. Emperor Kangxi advocated benevolent government and would not easily kill veterans, let alone blood relatives.Even the prince who dared to kill his father and king was only kept in captivity, so how could he order the whole family to be executed and even imprison the nine clans?Emperor Kangxi was so merciful that he lent the silver in the treasury to his courtiers free of charge, even if the courtiers just used it for squandering, they did not ask for it.

Suddenly, Twelve's eyebrows twitched. His family is now the Rongguo Mansion, one of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Maybe he also borrowed a lot of money from the treasury?At that time, there will be no need to punish the crime of following the prince, and they will be killed if they don't pay back the money owed?

There is no way out.

With the idea of ​​having the same blessings and sufferings, Twelve resolutely told Nala Shuxian what he had guessed.After listening to it, Nala Shuxian was in a daze for a long time and didn't come back to her senses.How should I say it?As the aunt who was raised by the Nala family who was a young Jinjiaoyugui, she admired Lord Yongzheng the most in her life, but she never expected that once she traveled through time, she would become one of the families that followed the prince, and she was even very May be killed by the fourth prince who is the substitute of Lord Yongzheng in this world...

Nala Shuxian raised her forehead and lamented, she couldn't even find anyone to blame, she just silently swallowed the idea of ​​scolding God.

After a while, Nala Shuxian said: "Twelve, do you have a solution?"

"First find out whether our family owes money to the treasury. If not, then everything is fine. If there is..." Let's mourn.Twelve looked at La Shuxian's face, swallowed the second half of the sentence decisively, and changed his words, "If you really want to, don't be afraid. When the fourth prince is ordered to recover the owed money, our family will pay back the money that is owed." That's fine. Just remember, the worse the mess, the better, and it's best to risk your life to help the fourth prince. Uh, you should be able to save your life, right?"

Generally speaking, another meaning of "Jia Zi must be repaid" is that the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring.Twelve privately thought that if the fourth prince in this life was really Huang Mafa in his previous life, then as long as the Jia family could do him a little favor, it would be no problem to save his life later.

Well clearly grievances.

"I'll ask your father to investigate." Nala Shuxian said, then got up and left.

After she left, Nanny Rong quickly took a piece of sesame cake and stuffed it into Twelve's mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Twelve, tell Nanny, what are you talking about just now? Why didn't I listen?" Do you understand?"

Twelve almost didn't choke to death on the pastry, and after finally recovering, he took a bite of the sesame cake with his baby teeth, and said bitterly, "It's okay!"

After all, Nanny Rong was born as a slave in clothes, even after going through many ups and downs, she still doesn't quite understand the affairs of the court.Seeing that Twelve Abnormality said it was all right, she stopped asking, and there was nothing she could do about it.No, she can also order the kitchen to make a few dishes of Twelve's favorite pastries and sweet soup!

……

Because of Twelve's reminder, Nala Shuxian also found an opportunity to mention the matter of owed money seemingly unintentionally.Jia Amnesty was taken aback for a moment, and then he admitted it with a smile, but he only said: "I vaguely remember that this happened, but it was all about how many years ago, why mention that?"

Nala Shuxian's heart sank, although she had already prepared herself psychologically, she never imagined that such an encounter would really happen.Seeing the disapproval on Jia She's face, knowing that persuasion would not be effective at first, after thinking for a while, he said: "My natal family is a scholarly heirloom family, but in fact it is not rich or honor at all, but even so, I have never been downcast. Borrowing money. Rongguo's mansion is rich and unparalleled. I heard that before I got married, it was the most prosperous, and it was because of the old man's death that our family gradually fell down. Why..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who borrowed it because they were really short of money? Didn't they agree to the sentence that no borrowing is worthless?" Because of La Shuxian's euphemism, Jia Amnesty never looked to the other side. Think about it, just laughed and said, "Besides, isn't that ready to pick you up? It's decent, it's a blessing! It's a pity, just like you said, when the old man is gone, our family will gradually be forgotten. .”

Seeing Nala Shuxian groaning silently, Jia She was puzzled for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and said ostentatiously: "Speaking of it, the Wang family is richer than ours. Shuxian, have you forgotten? When Jia Zheng married the Wang family Well, the ten miles of red makeup sent by the Wang family is frightening to death! Although the Rongguo Mansion also sent a large amount of dowry, the Wang family’s dowry includes the dowry, but even so, the amount is too scary. And Wang’s side is honest, no one takes a half-empty box to deal with things, I glanced at it at the time, I’m afraid it’s six to seven million!”

The so-called number of 70 million refers to a value of about 70 million taels of silver, which is definitely a large sum.Of course, in Mrs. Wang's dowry, most of them are land deed shops, etc., and less than half are all kinds of antique jade, gold and silver jewelry.When the original advocate family first married, they only had a dowry of less than 20 yuan. Compared with this, the Wang family is indeed rich and unparalleled.

Then Jia She said with a smile: "Do you know why the Wang family is so rich?"

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the poor are rich in martial arts, and a military general of the Wang family is naturally very rich." Nala Shuxian said flatly.

"That's not true." Jia She shook his head, "Our family is also a general, but not as rich as the Wang family. You know that Jinling has an official protection talisman, 'There is no white jade bed in the East China Sea, the Dragon King came to invite the Jiangnan King ’, here we are talking about Jia Zheng’s father-in-law’s family. However, the Wang family’s money was not brought by strong winds, but it was because the old man Wang only cared about the tributes and congratulations from other countries since he returned from the frontier more than ten years ago. One thing. Whenever there are people from overseas countries, they are all received and supported by the Wang family. All the foreign ship goods in Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, and Zhejiang are under the management of the Wang family. How can they not be rich if they are so ostentatious? Master Wang Zisheng is an idiot, but everyone else is human. Even the two married aunts and wives are very patient. Mrs. Wang married Jia Zheng, but her sister married Ziwei Sheren Patriarch of the Xue Family!"

In terms of power, the current Wang family is no match for the Jia family and the Shi family, after all, one of the latter two is the Duke of the State and the other is the Lord Marquis.But when it comes to money, the Wang family doesn't lose too much to the Xue family.Moreover, with the current situation of the Wang family, it may not be impossible for the four major families to be ruled by his family in another ten or twenty years.

Thinking of this, Nala Shuxian couldn't help sighing secretly.Jia's family, a duke of two kingdoms, used to be so glorious, but now it is getting worse and worse.The other end of Ningguo Mansion is not as good as Rongguo Mansion. After all, Jia Daishan in Rongguo Mansion is capable, so he was able to avoid being deposed as a hereditary Duke.On the other side of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing is only taking the title of a second-class general.Of course, Rongguo Mansion is not much better. Jia She is slightly better than Jia Jing, and he is the title of first-class general.

"That's right, that's right, if we really want to talk about wealth, I know that there is a family that is even better than the Wang family and the Xue family!"

Perhaps it was that La Shuxian had met Jia She's itch just now, so that the more he talked, the more excited he became.Although Nala Shuxian was not very interested in this kind of topic, she wanted to know how many fake ancestors were around the Rongguo Mansion, so she listened patiently.

But Jia She said with a loud laugh: "It's a coincidence that our family's surname is Jia, and that family's surname is Zeng. There are fakes and fakes, and I don't know which of our two families is real and which is fake."

Shaking his head and joking for a while, Jia She then got down to business: "Then the Zhen family is also very capable, just like our family, they all come from military backgrounds. However, the ability of the Zeng family lies in the fact that there is an old lady who is born. My seniority, I am afraid that I should also call the old grandmother Zeng. She is very capable, and she once nursed the Holy One. The Holy One is the most nostalgic, and I heard that the old lady Zeng tried her best to save the Holy One when he was in trouble, as if There are still deep scars on my body. Tell me, can the Zeng family not be rich?"

"How come I haven't seen anyone from the Zeng family?" Nala Shuxian recalled carefully, making sure she didn't recognize those people.However, she vaguely remembered that among the annual gifts received every year, there seemed to be an extra heavy one, and others sent it on a per-household basis, but their family gave it on a per-master basis, "But that Jiangnan... ..."

"Yes, Zeng's family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and weaves with a single tube. I remember that Zeng's family picked up and drove four times in a row, but it was really a great blessing. At that time, I was not very old, and I always followed my grandparents. Be filial to me. Jia Zheng, on the other hand, should have seen it with his own eyes once or twice." Speaking of this, Jia Amnesty was quite regretful, as if wishing to replace him.

However, Nala Shuxian was not in such a good mood as Jia She, on the contrary, the more she listened, the more she felt heavy.

In the previous life, Emperor Kangxi liked to go on tour, and there were as many as six trips in Nanxun alone. Although Nala Shuxian couldn't remember exactly who was in charge of picking him up during those six trips, she clearly remembered that those who were most favored The courtiers' families all disappeared in the Qianlong Dynasty.However, although Emperor Qianlong had a lot of problems, he did not advocate torture. That is to say, it is very likely that all those families fell during the Yongzheng period.

The Zeng family is exhausted.

"Master, it's almost October, and the New Year's ceremony has already been prepared. I think it will take another month at most, and the New Year's gift will be delivered to each family." Nala Shuxian suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Regarding the annual ceremony, seeing Jia She looked over in astonishment, she just smiled, "Leave the Zeng family alone, there is no hindrance to the left and right, I mean the Gusu Lin family."

The Lin family is Lin Hai's family, but they said that this Lin family was originally from Gusu. Although Lin Hai lived in Yangzhou with his widowed mother for the past two years, when referring to the Lin family, he would still call him the Gusu Lin family.Just like those old acquaintances, when they mentioned the Ningrong Second Mansion, they would still say Jinling Jiajia.

At first hearing Nala Shuxian mentioning the Lin family, Jia She was obviously a little dazed, but then his face darkened, and he said angrily: "Hmph, don't mention the Lin family, aren't they capable? Shilu's family, the scholarly family, how many What a talent! To put it bluntly, he is just Bai Ding who has reached the end of his title! The old lady cherishes Lin Hai's talent, but I don't care for it. Sister Min is such a good girl, she is more than prepared to match Lin Hai, but the Lin family doesn't know how rare it is, and she has lied to us for so many years It's fine with me, it doesn't matter if I get angry from the left or the right, but I've wronged Sister Min."

Later, Jia She's voice became deeper and deeper, and the anger between words was gradually replaced by helplessness.

Although marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, once the marriage is regretted, it will hinder both the man and the woman, but in general, it is the woman who suffers more.Jia Min is now 19 years old, and in another year, she will be a 20-year-old girl.Although this dynasty does not advocate early marriage as much as the previous dynasty, it has not been delayed so late.Generally speaking, at the age of [-] or [-], you must look good. After a year or two, you will be engaged, and at the latest, you will be married at the age of [-] or [-].However, although the Lin family has never missed the ceremony of three festivals and two birthdays, they never mentioned the matter of getting married.In the past, it could be said that it was because the Rongguo Mansion wanted to keep filial piety for Jia Daishan, or it had a bad reputation for marrying immediately after the filial piety, but the problem is that the Rongguo Mansion has been out of the filial piety for two years, and besides, both parties are not young. Well, it's human nature to be anxious, who would talk too much?

It's no wonder Jia She was full of resentment when he mentioned this matter, even though he was not close to Jia Min on weekdays, he couldn't deny that they were siblings.In fact, as far as Nara Shuxian knew, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were even more resentful. Jia Zheng was because he was very close to Jia Min, and Mrs. Wang was because of Sister Yuan. It will implicate my niece.

"I don't want to say more about the other things, you don't like to listen to the left and right masters. I really believe in the old man's eyes. Lin Hai and the Lin family are definitely not villains. They have not sent any news for a long time. It’s unspeakable.”

"What an unspeakable secret, the Lin family is completely fine!"

Jia Amnesty originally didn't want to bring up the matter of the Lin family, but he heard that Nala Shuxian had a faint plan to speak for the Lin family, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and simply told Nala Shuxian all the things he had inquired about in the past two years. La Shuxian.In fact, if you really think about it, Jia She has no intention of concealing it. The main reason is that some things are good or bad, and it is related to Jia Min's boudoir reputation. Joking and funny.

However, Jia She really cared about Jia Min. When he first became a filial piety in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She really didn't think too much about it. He only thought that the Lin family had long since abandoned martial arts and followed literature. Naturally, they were more particular about it, and it was true that they discussed marriage a little later. is unusual.However, Jia She's patience is limited, within half a year, he ran out of patience, because it was not easy to talk to Jia Mu and Jia Min about the matter, so he simply secretly sent people to Yangzhou to find out the news. No mention of Jia Min, not even the Rongguo Mansion, only oblique people inquired about the big family in Yangzhou.

After another half a year, Jia Amnesty got the exact news.The other families skipped mentioning it, and only talked about the Lin family. Because Lin Hai's father died early, there was only one widowed mother in the family, but she was in good health, and often invited the female relatives in the city to chat and laugh.As for Lin Hai himself, his official career is smooth and everything is safe.

"Are you saying that you are angry?! If it weren't for the fact that I really don't have time to go to Yangzhou, I would definitely beat him to death!!"

Nala Shuxian was silent. She originally thought that maybe Lin Hai's widowed mother was ill, so she had to postpone the wedding.But after ruling out this possibility, there is probably only one remaining reason.

... Not everyone is an idiot, I'm afraid the Lin family has already noticed something.Or, the Lin family is an imperial faction through and through, and they only support the current emperor, and will never get involved in the battle for succession.

If you think about it carefully, the possibility of the latter is completely greater than the former.However, if it is as Nala guessed, then after the Zhen family, the Lin family is probably doomed. After all, the Yongzheng Lord in the previous life killed many stubborn old officials who were only loyal to Emperor Kangxi.Thinking about it this way, it's really sad, Nala Shuxian suddenly realized that none of her relatives and friends around her could live to old age with all their beards.

"Then give the Lin family one last chance." Nala Shuxian said sternly, "Whether it's a word or not, it's nothing like this. You might as well let someone rush to Yangzhou City immediately and ask the Lin family what is going on." What kind of idea is it? Although it is said that women will suffer from marriage, even if they suffer from it, it is better than being a widow for a lifetime. Why don't you think about it carefully, if the Lin family keeps procrastinating like this, one year, two years, three years, five years, ten years, eight years What about Sister Min? Our Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion next door are better?"

Cutting through the mess quickly, the left and right La Shuxian had already determined that the Lin family would not have a good result. Instead of betting on the Lin family, it is better to find another marriage.After all, it is better to be unpredictable than to be doomed.

"Success! Do as you say!"

Jia Amnesty really listened to this idea. To put it bluntly, he was already impatient.The daughter of the dignified Duke's mansion has been reduced to the point where people can pick and choose, how can we not make him very annoyed?In particular, the Lin family didn't have any warning before, and it was only after the old Duke Jia Daishan passed away that they suddenly alienated their relationship.Although the ceremony of three festivals and two birthdays has not been missed, the delay in the wedding date is already unfair to Jia Min.

Just do it!

On the same day, Jia Amnesty wrote a decisive letter, dripped it with sealing wax, and handed it to his most capable confidant, ordering him to rush to Yangzhou City immediately.Of course, it was impossible for the Lin family in Yangzhou to reply so quickly, so after sending away his confidant, Jia Amnesty made up his mind to deal with the next thing.

The affairs of the Lin family were handed over to Jia Amnesty, and Nala Shuxian was never idle. She also wanted to prepare various sacrifices, because the Zhang family was going to have a funeral.

Although in the past when Mrs. Zhang was alive, she always felt that she was too old to bear children, but in fact she was not very old, and she was only thirty-one when she passed away.At this age, coupled with the fact that she died of dystocia, it should be considered a violent death in terms of calculation.Therefore, the Zhang family first placed the coffin on the mourning hall for 49 days, and then sent it to a temple outside the city, and asked the master to perform water rituals. People send away.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the eldest wife of the Zhang family finally died in peace, and the little brother she left behind at that time also passed the third and full moon, and was about to face a hundred days.However, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about it, and no one offered to serve wine for the little brother, and even some people who were not very close to each other didn't know that the Zhang family had added a little brother.

After seeing off the eldest wife of the Zhang family, the Zhang family fell into complete silence, even declaring that they would close their doors to thank guests for a year.The old master of the Zhang family had already handed in his resignation letter to Emperor Changqing, so there is no need to say more, and the three masters of the Zhang family also temporarily left the officialdom.The old man of the Zhang family had to observe filial piety for his wife for one year, his two children for three years, as for the younger brother, daughter-in-law and nephews, it only took nine months, but the Zhang family still remained consistent and chose a one-year period.

As the Zhang family gradually faded out of people's sight, the end of the new year is finally here.Perhaps for the Zhang family, or for the Pan family, the eldest wife of the Zhang family, this year is destined to be extremely sad, but for most families, the new year is full of joy.

Perhaps, apart from the Rongguo Mansion.

On the other side of the Rongguo Mansion, people were also sent to the funeral of Mrs. Zhang's family.Those who went were Jia She and Jia Zheng. Jia's mother was afraid of being taboo because of her age, and the other party was a junior, so there was no need for her as an elder to go, and the children were too young. But on the other side of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing, brother Zhen and his son both went with gifts.

However, even if he went to Zhang's house, the sadness on the other side would not affect Rongguo Mansion, and even Jia's mother had other plans.

"Boss daughter-in-law, our family and the Zhang family are related by marriage, so there is no need to be so jealous. I know that you sent Cong'er to the Zhang family earlier. It is a good thing to learn. I can understand it and completely understand it." I agree." Mother Jia called Nala Shuxian to her on the eve of the New Year's Eve, and said in detail, "Although the Zhang family has to observe filial piety, this does not prevent you from returning to your natal family. After the New Year's Eve, you can go to the Zhang family again. One trip, as for the homecoming day on the second day of the first lunar month of the coming year, we can’t skip it, if you are short of valuable gifts, just open the warehouse to get them.”

Nala Shuxian smiled and nodded in agreement, but didn't answer, she just waited for Mother Jia to speak out her purpose.

Poor Jia Mu, she originally planned to wait for Nala Shuxian to thank her, so she could say it casually, but Nala Shuxian didn't accept the offer at all, which made her extremely embarrassed.Fortunately, this is not the first time such a thing has happened, Mother Jia quickly adjusted her mood, and said again: "As for Cong'er, don't forget to bring it with you, the in-laws may be very rare about this little grandson, right?"

This is not wrong, La Shuxian would not lie about this kind of thing, she just nodded and said: "It is true, the old master of the Zhang family is very happy with that child, saying that he is extremely talented."

"Then there's no need to delay. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Cong'er was asked to live in Zhang's house. Of course, food and drink expenses must not be saved. If Zhang's family doesn't accept heavy gifts, then find a way to get some lonely copies." According to the ancient books, Cong'er must continue to study with the old master of the Zhang family!"

"Old lady, what you said is true."

"And Lian'er." Jia Mu frowned and stared at La Shuxian, feeling extremely disgusted by the latter's utter refusal to accept the move, but she had to hold back, "Boss, how can you just care about Cong?" Don't you care about Lian'er? Both elder brothers are your own sons, and Lian'er is still the eldest son, who will be the prince in the future! Let Lian'er also go to the Zhang family later."

"Ah." Speaking of this, La Shuxian had already guessed what Jia Mu was going to do next, so she just sighed and said in a very helpless tone, "It's all the flesh that fell from me, how could I do it?" Don't you care about Lian'er? It's a pity that I begged for it before, but the old man is very stubborn. He only said that Lian'er is like my master, and he doesn't have the slightest talent for reading. I wanted to persuade her again, so I went to ask her natal family Old lady, but the old man is so stubborn that he wouldn't listen to even a word of persuasion, and even said that even if the current emperor forces him to take in some untalented prince or grandson, he will flatly refuse."

The last sentence successfully choked Jia Mu.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nala Shuxian resigned and left very quickly, unexpectedly not giving Jia Mu a chance to speak again.

However, when she returned to Rongxi Hall, Nala Shuxian approached Jia Amnesty at the first time, told the matter straight to the point, and said bluntly: "The old lady obviously wants Zhu'er to go with her, but she also got Lian involved." Son. If I have the final say on this matter, then it doesn't matter. But with my father's temperament, I am afraid that the current Holy Majesty really needs to speak up, and I don't have the ability."

"What are you fussing about? Lian'er is so stupid that he can't get Lao Taishan's eyes at all. As for Zhu'er, didn't I agree to Jia Zheng earlier and give Zhu'er the place of Lian'er's supervisor in the Imperial College? What's the trouble? When I turned around, I went to find Jia Zheng, and told him that if I make a fuss again, I will regret it, and there is no black and white writing on the left and right, who is afraid of whom! Come on, Shuxian, you don’t need to worry about this matter. If the old lady wants to bring it up again, let Jia Zheng That idiot has to deal with it, as long as he cries, makes trouble and hangs himself, everything will be fine!"

Then La Shuxian was also choked up, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. Jia Zheng is an old man and a pedantic and stubborn scholar, how could he do such an unsightly thing?However, Nala Shuxian wisely did not say this out loud, only said that she knew it, and then forgot about it when she turned around.

As for Jia Amnesty, it didn't take long. After the New Year's Eve, when I had some free time, I talked to Jia Zheng about it.Besides, Jia Amnesty never knew what tact was, and if he threatened him directly and repented after messing around, he was shameless.Just these words made Jia Zheng sweat all over in the twelfth lunar month. He patted his chest to assure that he was not instigated by him, and vowed to stop Jia's mother from making trouble again.

Afterwards, Mother Jia did not make trouble anymore, but it was not because Jia Zheng sought her out, but because someone from Yangzhou City came.

Jia She was the first to get the news, and his confidant sent his own wife to Rongxi Hall to summon him. After meeting in the front yard, Jia She learned that the Lin family had sent someone, and he even got a formal letter from his confidant. , to the effect that the Lin family has absolutely no intention of regretting the marriage, and will definitely give Rongguo Mansion an explanation.

Then there is no more.

Jia She stared intently at the letter, turned it over and over again several times after a while, but still didn't see anything wrong.Having no other choice, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to take the letter back to Rongxi Hall and show it to Nala Shuxian.It's a pity that even though Nala Shuxian was slightly better than Jia She, she still didn't see anything else.After all, there are only three or two sentences in total, and there is really no other meaning.

In a fit of rage, Jia Amnesty tore the letter into pieces. Feeling uneasy, he simply threw the pieces into a charcoal basin and burned them to ashes.Immediately afterwards, Jia She suddenly remembered that his confidant said something just now, the Lin family sent someone back to Beijing with him.

The Lin family sent the old butler Lin, a loyal servant who has served the Lin family for generations. Since the old butler is already seventy years old, there is no need to be taboo so much, and because of his special status, he was directly led to the main hall of Rongqing Hall inside.Of course, before that, all the masters of the Rongguo Mansion except the juniors rushed to the Rongqing Hall.

It is not a taboo, and it is impossible to face each other head-on. Fortunately, the main hall of Rongqing Hall is very large. Jia Mu, Nala Shuxian and Mrs. Wang are sitting behind the screen, while Jia She and Jia Zheng brothers are sitting in front of the screen. Hospitality up front.There is only a screen separating them, not only will it not affect hearing things, but you can also see some of them vaguely.As for Jia Min, she came earlier than her elder brother and sister-in-law, but she didn't appear in front of people. She just hid in the warm pavilion behind the main hall and listened attentively.

When everyone is together, things will naturally have to be discussed.Jia She, the current head of the Rongguo Mansion, was the first to speak.

"Old Butler Lin, right? Tell me why you're here." Jia She's face was neither sad nor happy, although he never showed any disgust, but he didn't have any intention of welcoming.Jia Zhenglue at the side gave him a disapproving look, but remained silent and didn't say much.

Others didn't know the cause of the incident, but Old Butler Lin knew it all. After all, before coming, the master told him everything, even let him read the letter written by Jia She himself. It is to let him know the attitude of Rongguo Mansion in advance, so that he can deal with it properly at that time.Therefore, instead of being angry with Jia Amnesty's attitude, Old Butler Lin was slightly relieved. What he was most worried about was being kicked out by the Rongguo Mansion without even saying a word.It's okay for him to be ashamed, what he's afraid of is that he won't be able to complete what the master told him.

At that moment, old butler Lin first saluted respectfully, and then explained clearly and methodically.

In the words of the old housekeeper Lin, the Lin family is looking forward to the marriage of the two families the most, emphasizing the Lin family's admiration for the late Jia Daishan of the Rongguo Mansion, and the infinite expectations for the girl of the Jia family. Come to Rongguo Mansion to confirm the wedding date.Of course, there are clear reasons why she never came to Rongguo Mansion to confirm the wedding date, and there are three other reasons.

First, the old lady of the Lin family visited the eminent monk and said that the past two years were not suitable for marriage.

Second, the brother of the Lin family is being used by Emperor Changqing, so he is so busy every day that he doesn't even have time to eat and sleep every day, let alone travel thousands of miles to Beijing to marry him.

The third is to imply that there will be major events in Beijing next year, and after the turmoil subsides, he will definitely choose a day to marry Jia Min as his wife.

The reason seems reasonable at first glance, but it does not stand up to careful scrutiny.

"Hmph, it's said that Buddhism is a place of pure six senses. Since when did you care about the marriage of men and women? Why are these two years not suitable for marriage? Not to mention the land of Kyushu, but only the people I know in the capital. There are no fewer than a hundred families who get married every year. According to what you say, people who get married in the past two years will be hindered? Tsk, didn't the Seventh Prince get married at the beginning of this year?"

Jia She really dared to say anything, but when he thought about it carefully, he only said that the Seventh Prince was getting married this year, and there was nothing disrespectful about it.But it would be very inappropriate to contact old housekeeper Lin Cai just now.

"Brother, be careful." Jia Zheng couldn't help reminding that even if the seventh prince is neither favored nor has a strong backer, he is still a dignified prince, and Jia She can not let Jia She arrange it like this.Fortunately, Jia Amnesty just mentioned it casually, and after he gave Jia Zheng a glance, the trouble was over.

This stubble has been uncovered, and there will be another stubble.

"It is said that there are three unfilial sons who have no heirs. The Lin family has been passed down for several generations. When it comes to Lin Hai, there is only one seedling left. I remember that Lin Hai is only one year younger than my second brother. After the new year, it is approaching the year of standing. Don't say The sons and heirs have never even been married, how can they explain to the old master Lin under the nine springs? Besides, the sage is so generous and merciful, how can he not let the ministers get married?" Without waiting for the old butler Lin to explain, Jia She went straight, "As for the meeting next year There is a turmoil, and we still wait for the turmoil to subside and choose a date to get married... Huh! What does this mean? It is the Lin family who sent people to Beijing, and now they are saying that our Rongguo Mansion is begging your Lin family! What do you mean?"

Old Butler Lin was completely dumbfounded. He didn't quite know what the master meant, but he did understand that the Rongguo Mansion, especially the Grand Master Xie in front of him, was clearly a villain who sued first!

Unexpectedly, he has nothing to do.

Weakly opened his mouth, butler Lin looked at the angry Jia Amnesty, and finally closed his mouth.He has said everything that should be said. As for what should not be said, the master has not told him, so what can he do as a prostituted old servant?Even though for the sake of his family's loyalty from generation to generation, he knows more things than the servants next to the Lin family, but the old butler Lin understands that there are some things that even the old lady at home will be kept in the dark, so how can he get it? Know?

"Xie'er, let someone take the old housekeeper down to have a rest first. It's been about this day, so let's talk about it after the New Year." Jia Mu's voice came from behind the screen, although she tried her best to suppress it, but I could still hear the anger in his voice.

The Lin family, you are too deceitful! !
