Amnesty's daily life

The funeral of Marquis Bowling's mansion is a bit weird. It is said that it is absolutely impossible for the funeral to be small based on the title of Lord Marquis.Even if Mrs. Hou could not afford to be ill, the three sons of the Hou Mansion were not yet crowned, but the specifications were there. Even if the masters of the Hou Mansion couldn't handle it, they could ask the clan or other relatives and friends to help.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if there is really no one to take care of it, the last book asked Emperor Changqing to send someone to help.

However, the Bowling Hou Mansion did nothing.

Not to mention that no one from the Shi family clan came forward at all. At the Lianrong State Mansion, the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng rushed to the Marquis Mansion early the next morning, but they were still politely invited to leave.Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to offer incense to express condolences, but after the ceremony is over, you are sent out of the gate very politely.That's not to mention, the decoration of the mourning hall of Marquis Guanshi doesn't seem to be based on his title at all, but it seems to be just an old lady from an ordinary wealthy family who has disappeared.

"Something is wrong." As soon as he walked out of the gate of Marquis Bowling's mansion, Jia Amnesty immediately lowered his face and turned to look at Jia Zheng who was following behind him, only to see that Jia Zheng's complexion was even uglier.

Jia Zheng looked up at Jia Amnesty, and smiled wryly, "Brother, do you have a way to find out what's going on inside?"

In this world, except for children who don't know much about the world, everyone will have their own principles in doing things, and will never act willfully according to their own temperament.Even Jia Amnesty, at first glance, is indeed extremely unreliable, but it is also about small things. If something really happened in the family, let alone Jia Amnesty, even the young brother Lian would not know how to deal with it. mess.As for the Baolinghou Mansion, who is one of the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes who founded the country, it is absolutely impossible to do such a willful behavior.

unless……

"Stop talking, let's go back to the mansion first." Jia Amnesty frowned as if thinking of something, quickly looked up at the plaque on the gate of the Hou Mansion, and then immediately urged Jia Zheng to get on his horse.The two of them set off from Rongguo Mansion early in the morning, and originally expected that if they couldn't make it back to the mansion in the evening, it would be fine to spend the night at Bowling Hou's Mansion.But now, before noon, they were already rushing back.

The two of them did not talk much on the way, until they got back to Ning Rong Street, after jumping off the horse, Jia She suddenly said in a low voice: "Later, you can ask the old lady something, I am out The head is waiting for you."

"what?"

"I'll tell you the question first, you go ask, and I'll listen outside." Seeing Jia Zheng's suspicious expression, Jia Amnesty said with a little embarrassment, "I'm not afraid that the old lady will hit me in anger, but I'm afraid Make her angry again."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng's complexion changed several times, and after a long silence, Jia Zheng finally nodded his head as he agreed.

What Jia Amnesty wanted to ask was very simple, nothing more than two points.

First, has anyone seen Lord Shi Hou?

Second, how should the title of Marquis be inherited?

In the capital, everyone knew that the Baolinghou's family had gone to other provinces many years ago, and they just returned to the capital last year, and they were escorted back to Beijing in the name of privately withholding military pay.Although at the time, no one thought that such a trivial matter would destroy the Hundred Years' Residence, but the subsequent development exceeded everyone's expectations.It was also rumored that Marquis Shi fell ill last year, after which the entire Hou Mansion closed its doors to thank guests.Ordinarily, Master Shihou's disease should not be a disease passed on to others, so why did he refuse all visits?Apart from the people in the Bowling Hou Mansion, has anyone ever seen the "seriously ill" Lord Shi Hou?

As for the succession to the title, it is even more noticeable. The Shi clan has a large number of people, but the Marquis of Bowling's Mansion was originally in the direct line, and Master Shi had three direct descendants.Even if the three of them have not yet reached the age of the crown, they are not too young. As long as they are established, they can become nobles. In the past, they were not the county kings or marquises who had never been young.

Both questions were unpleasant, and fortunately it was Jia Zheng who asked them. If it was Jia Amnesty, maybe Jia's mother would blame him for not mourning the death of his own uncle, but thinking about what is there and what is not.

However, even if it was replaced by Jia Zheng, at most Jia's mother never yelled at her, and she still didn't give an answer.

But these are enough.

After Jia Zheng left in disappointment, he was grabbed by Jia Amnesty as soon as he walked outside to the porch.Immediately, I only heard Jia Sheyong's voice deliberately lowered, repeatedly urging: "I don't care what method you use, go to the Ministry of Industry to ask for leave. I will immediately send someone to spread the word that the old lady is seriously ill and is bedridden because of Master Shihou's death. Afterwards, our house also closed the door to thank the guests. By the way, and sister Min, I will send someone to inform them that the young couple will leave Beijing immediately! Go!"

Jia Zheng was stunned for a while, facing Jia She's murderous gaze, he said tremblingly: "Then what I have to do is ask for leave? How long?"

"I don't know! Anyway, the longer the better, we will see the specific situation at that time. However, if you are not afraid of death, you can still go to the Ministry of Industry!"

"Then let me tell you... I am also very sad and fell ill." Jia Zheng was obviously frightened by Jia Amnesty, and said without choosing words.But soon, he realized that this statement was too unreliable. Seeing that Jia Amnesty raised his hand to cut him, he had no choice but to change his words immediately, "I said I broke my leg!"

If you can't determine the exact time to ask for leave, it is most appropriate to use sick leave. After all, things will always be finished one day, but illness can last forever. Even if you are sick for several years, as long as you bribe the doctor, it will not be a big problem .However, because Jia Zheng had just gone to condolences to Lord Shi Hou, it was unreliable to hear that he fell ill when he came back. After all, Jia Zheng was in good health, and it was only his uncle who died. When his own father died, Didn't you fall ill?

Accidents are definitely a universal way to ask for leave.

"To make it more reliable, I'll break your leg." Jia Amnesty also thought that the idea of ​​breaking your leg was a good idea. It is said that it hurts muscles and bones for [-] days, but now it took more than three months. , ordinarily the turmoil should subside.If it hasn't calmed down, then it's better to interrupt again. The excuses are ready-made. The bone was not connected properly before, so interrupt it and connect it again.

"I……"

"Second brother, I know that you have the most overall view and think about our family wholeheartedly. The old lady can fall ill, and I don't have a job. As for the female relatives and children, there is no need to go out. The biggest problem lies with you. However, that being said, if you insist on going to the Ministry of Industry, I will not stop you."

"This one……"

"Don't worry, if you really go, brother swears, he will take good care of your wife and children." Jia Amnesty reached out and patted Jia Zheng's shoulder, with tears in his eyes, looking extremely sad.

Jia Zheng was suddenly discouraged.

No matter how important an official position is, it is not as important as life, let alone asking for a long vacation, and it is not asking him to resign from office and retire.Compared with life and future, a broken leg is not so unacceptable.As long as it can be broken just right!

"Then I'll go and throw it myself, and I don't need to bother you." Jia Zheng finally figured it out, but no matter how thorough his thinking was, he would never let Jia Amnesty attack him.After all, Jia Amnesty is so unreliable.

"That's fine. Or this is fine. You go to find a doctor, let alone your own identity, change into humble servant clothes, give the doctor some money, and ask the doctor to discount your legs. There will be no problem. I have already thought out the reasons for you, and I just said that you had a fight with someone and planned to extort a large amount of money from the other party, so you deliberately broke your leg."

"it is good!"

Watching Jia Zheng leave with a heroic look on his face, Jia She ran back to Rongxi Hall in a hurry. He had a lot to do, and it was unlikely that he would finish all of them in a short period of time, so he came back to find A helper is the most convenient option.And Jia Amnesty's choice was not someone else, but Nanny Rong who had always been at odds with Jia's mother.

For Nanny Rong's dislike for Mother Jia, Jia Amnesty is absolutely aware of it. In fact, he himself is quite displeased with Mother Jia. Besides, Nanny Rong doesn't like to scare Mother Jia with a straight face. He didn't really do anything, so Jia She had a lot of trust in Nanny Rong.

"Mother, hurry up and spread rumors, saying that the old lady is sick, and the illness is very serious. The reason is that Master Shi passed away. Remember to arrange it more realistically. When necessary, you can also make the old lady really Falling ill." Jia Amnesty said.

Nanny Rong liked this task very much, and immediately patted her chest to promise to spread the news as quickly as possible.

Even if Nanny Rong can command her, it is tantamount to sending the news to Nala Shuxian on her own initiative.Fortunately, Jia Sheyuan didn't hide La Shuxian's thoughts, and before even asking questions, he poured beans into a bamboo tube to describe the scene he saw at Bowling Hou's mansion today, as well as his own guesses. Ten of them told Nala Shuxian.

The point is, hurry up and be a coward!

Nala Shuxian sighed deeply, expressing her sincere sympathy and pity to the two generations of Dukes of the Rongguo Mansion from the bottom of her heart.You must know that regardless of whether it is Jia Yuan or Jia Daishan, they are both extremely brave and skilled generals.And most generals have a common problem, that is, they don't say defeat easily, and never retreat unless it is absolutely necessary.

Never expected that, after two generations of Dukes, Jia She, the current head of the Rongguo Mansion and a first-class hereditary general, is a complete shrinking turtle.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this.

"That's right! Shuxian, I remember that in your dowry, there was a painting of many juicy peaches, isn't it?" After telling the story and his own guess, Jia She suddenly brought up the eight poles. For things that don't work, "give it to me! I'll find you a better one later!"

Juicy big peaches...

After thinking about it for a quarter of an hour, Nala Shuxian asked with a blank face, "The Huaguo Mountain you are talking about?" Seeing Jia She nod her head madly, Nala Shuxian was even more speechless, "That should also be true." Is it a lot of monkeys? Take it if you like, that painting is not a famous painting, it was drawn by my second brother to make me happy when I was young."

"Anyway, there are peaches on it!" Jia Amnesty agreed, and when he turned around, he asked people to quickly find the painting, and he also took a box of good ink that Jia's mother sent over not long ago, and thought about it again. The maid brought the dim sum and the plates with her, and when she went outside, she ordered her servants to go to the kitchen to see if there were any peaches in two baskets, and if there were no peaches, she would quickly steam a basket Shou Taoer.

……

It's hard to describe Lin Hai's mood when he received this "big gift". According to the description, it will be the day when Jia Min returns home in three days, but because of Master Shi's death, Lin Hai has not yet decided whether to go bowling first After expressing condolences, the Hou Mansion went directly to Rongguo Mansion.This is also because although Lin Hai has a brilliant literary talent, he is not very old after all, and he has no elders around him to guide him, so he only finds this kind of dilemma extremely difficult.

In the end, before Lin Hai could come up with a reason, the Rongguo Mansion sent a big gift, and the person who gave the gift named Lin Hai and Jia Min to take it over personally, and stated that the big gift came from Jia She and his wife.

This big gift included a painting of many monkeys and peaches, a small flat box containing six pieces of good ink, two plates of exquisite snacks, two baskets of peaches of various colors, and a drawer of birthday peaches.

Lin Hai: "..."

Jia Min: "..."

Although they have only been married for a few days, because the two are willing to compromise for each other, even if Lin Hai is purely because of guilt, but Jia Min really has a good impression of Lin Hai, so the two look very close harmonious.

Especially when the gift was opened, the two of them had the same look of astonishment on their faces, and they looked like husband and wife.

In fact, if this great gift was brought by Jia She alone, maybe both of them would agree that the guy had convulsions again, but because the servant specifically mentioned Nala Shuxian, Lin Hai and his wife were thinking twice. , thinking deeply in unison.

Among the big gifts, the two baskets of peaches must have the largest number, and the most unique thing is the drawer of birthday peaches.Don't say that Lin Hai and Jia Min are the only two masters in the Lin family, and they are not old enough to celebrate their birthdays. Taking a step back, even if the Lin family really has a master who wants to celebrate his birthday, he has never heard of a guest giving a gift. Shou Taoer's.

peach...

escape! ! !

At the moment when he realized it, Lin Hai's face turned pale with fright, and without a word, he immediately ordered someone to clean up Xiruan.Fortunately, because it was known in advance that Lin Hai would not be able to stay in the capital for a long time, Jia Min's ten miles of red makeup, except for the various furniture placed in the new house, were still placed in the box and never taken out.However, even if Jia Min's dowry is neatly arranged and placed in the warehouse, it is probably impossible to transport so many bags to Yangzhou City at this moment.It's okay if you take it slowly, at worst it will take a few months, no matter how many salutes there are, there will always be a day when the move is over.

But now, this is to escape! !

Lin Hai didn't know at all that he was cheated by Jia She, and of course, Jia She didn't know that he was obviously too much of a shadow.However, because of the news he had received earlier, Lin Haiyuan was more sensitive than ordinary people, so he only ordered his servants to move out the most valuable boxes, and brought Jia Min and a few confidant servants with him before the evening of the day , hurriedly left the capital.

"Min'er, you can rest assured that it's not too late now, and you should be able to leave the capital before the gate of the city falls after dark. At that time, we will rest at the inn outside the city for a night, and go out to the pier before dawn tomorrow to fight for Arrive at Yangzhou City within half a month."

"……it is good."

Although Jia Min has a weak physique, he is not a hypocritical person.And because he guessed a little bit of the facts, he just gritted his teeth and endured the uneasiness in his heart and the inconvenience of the journey, but the journey was safe and sound.

<<

After Lord Bowling rushed out of the funeral for burial, after Rongguo Mansion announced closed doors to thank guests, after the atmosphere in the capital became more and more dignified and depressing, after countless people chose to give in or rushed forward without fear of death, That day has come.

On the fourth day of September, Emperor Changqing summoned all the princes, elders of the clan, and important civil and military officials, and ordered the crown prince to kneel down in public. Go to prison and choose another day to deal with it.

On the [-]th day of the same month, Emperor Changqing ordered people to set up felt curtains next to the royal horse-raising courtyard for the prince to temporarily live in. His servants were strictly prohibited from following him, and even only given two meals a day.And ordered the eldest prince and the fourth prince to guard together, and called all the officials again on the same day to announce the arrest of the crown prince.

For another three days, Emperor Changqing offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji, and imprisoned the crown prince in a side room of the cold palace.

On the 24th, the decree was announced to the world.

Throughout September, the capital was in a state of panic. Not to mention the aristocratic families, even ordinary people stayed at home. The shops on both sides of the street were closed, and the busiest market in the past was nowhere to be seen. Half of the pedestrians, even the beggars have completely disappeared.

The capital is like a dead city.

<<

In the Rongguo Mansion, everything seems to be the same as before, but in fact, even the poorest woman is disturbed.The so-called servants, regardless of whether they were sold or the children of the family who have been slaves for generations, everything about them is closely related to the master.Regardless of how capable they were in the past, once something happens to the masters, they will immediately scatter like a tree falling and a monkey. Can't guess.

Of course, the masters are not much better than the servants, but because they have already known it, they can put on a straight face and calm the uneasy hearts of the servants by the way.

Among them, the most frightening and uneasy is Jia Mu herself.

Mother Jia fell ill again, not because of being angry with Jia She, nor because of the death of her younger brother Shi Houye, nor because of the death of her younger brother Shi Houye, nor because of Mammy Rong's manipulation, but simply because of the news from outside. Scared sick.

As the old saying goes, an old family is like a treasure.Of course, these words are not completely correct, but there is some truth in them.Apart from other things, Jia's mother is at least better than Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, etc. to perceive the uneasiness outside, and quickly guess what happened.Of course, the more you know, if you don't have the courage to do so, you will only be scared out of your wits.

"What's going on outside? Has anyone come to our house to ask questions? Is Bowling Hou's house to be blamed? How many families have the Holy Majesty sent down today? And..."

She was clearly ill, her forehead was burning hot, and she was even burnt out, but Mother Jia still insisted on asking.It's a pity that the only maids in front of her at this moment are mandarin ducks, parrots, etc. Not to mention that they don't understand the meaning of Jia Mu's words at all, even if they really know the situation, they dare not speak casually.

In the peaceful years, if you say a few words about the above in private, as long as it is not too much, it will be fine.However, there is no need for outsiders to clean up the stalls like today's unsettled ones, but if there is such a wrong sentence, the master can immediately order someone to punish him to death, and you are guaranteed to have nothing to say.

Therefore, in Jia Mu's huge room, there was only her own hoarse voice, and the maids were all quiet, not to mention voices, and even footsteps were insignificant.

Soaked the handkerchief with warm water to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, held the teacup and fed the water bit by bit with a small silver spoon, took the slightly cold towel and applied it to his forehead...

When Nala Shuxian came to Jia Mu's room, she saw this scene.

Beckoning the parrot out, after asking some questions in a low voice, Nala Shuxian ordered someone to deliver the high-quality tonic that she had found out from the storehouse earlier, and after a few words of exhortations, she withdrew .

Jiamu's illness was so violent that it could not be said that it was entirely due to being frightened. It should be said that all kinds of incentives came together and broke out in vain, so that even after taking medicine for several days, there was no improvement.

First Jia Min's marriage, then the death of Master Shi, then the unexpected neglect of Lord Bowling's funeral, the couple Lin Hai's hastily fleeing the capital without warning, and finally the crown prince. accident.

That's the crown prince!

The first one in this dynasty to have solemnly sacrificed to heaven and earth, and the current emperor personally wrote an edict to announce to the crown princes of the world!

Not to mention the mere Rongguo Mansion, in fact, the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes are all princelings, and even the vast majority of the royal family are on the side of the crown prince.It's not that the crown prince himself has much charm to seduce these people, but simply because he is His Royal Highness the crown prince.

The crown prince is not only orthodox, but also the next king who is justified.

Supporting the prince does not mean that these courtiers have the intention of treason, it can only prove that they are all loyal and patriotic people. After all, the person who recognizes the status of the prince is the current emperor Changqing.

However, now Emperor Changqing has changed his mind, issued an edict to depose the prince, and even cut off the prince's wings with thunderous means. They can only endure and suffer, trying to draw a line with the prince, while silently waiting for the final sentencing.

……

Nala Shuxian thought, if you know that the crown prince will be fine at the end of the year, and that Emperor Changqing will restore the crown prince next year, will you die of anger?

Your heart is unpredictable!
