The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House
Chapter 119 Conspiracy and Conspiracy
"I know about this, tell me how you got back home." Jia Lian stared at her face.
"About half a month after you left, the old lady came to see me in Bieyuan..." Jing Xin lowered her head and grabbed Jia Lian's hand, "The old man made a lot of promises, and she didn't wrong me at all when she came back. Good. Maybe it's because I've lived here for a long time, but I think living here is more comfortable than living in another garden."
Jia Lian saw that her expression was only troubled, not wronged, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't need to comfort me, I know that it is not easy for you to be daughters-in-law. The elders have come forward in person, and you have to agree to her if you say that, and I will talk to you later. She reasoned well."
"Farewell, we are all in the same family. It's not good to hurt the peace. What matters is the second master's business. If his child is not from the Jia family, it will be a big scandal." Jingxin hesitated Then he said to Jia Lian, "I want to come back, but there is actually another reason. Xing'er's stepmother, Mrs. Cui, came to see me."
Jia Lian paused for a while before remembering that Mrs. Cui was the younger sister of Guanshi Cui who was suspected of smoking.She has been a widow for many years, and she suddenly married Xing'er's father, which seems to be aimed at Wang Xifeng.
"What happened to her?" Jia Lian asked.
Jing Xin said to Jia Lian in a low voice: "She found out that the man was making a profit, and said that she disregarded human life, and forced to kill Brother Rong's two partners."
"Then?" Jia Lian asked.
"She wants revenge, she wants to bring this matter to the government." Jingxin said worriedly.
"Ah."
"Huh? The second master just hummed?" Jingxin was puzzled, "The two houses of Rongning and Ningxia belong to the same clan, and outsiders often regard the two families together as one family. If such a scandal in her family is spread, our reputation will be ruined." will also be damaged."
"Let her sue, and no one dares to accept it." Jia Lian said indifferently.
"What do you mean? Seriously?" Jingxin asked.
Jia Lian blinked his eyes to show that he was serious, so he didn't mention it.Jia Lian was tired from the journey, so he stretched himself, went to take a hot bath, and lay down on the couch, listening to Jia Cong, who came happily holding a book, report his homework to him.
Jingxin was embroidering with a flower frame on the side, so she raised her head and smiled.
"Second brother, I also wrote two poems recently. My husband said that I have done so well that I can recite them to my second brother." Jia Cong proudly raised his little head, and began to recite without emphasizing.
Jia Lian laughed straight after hearing this.
After Jia Conglang finished reading, he flung himself into Jia Lian's arms, "Second Brother, how are you? Isn't it amazing?"
"Hey, who taught our little one badly, such a thick-skinned!" Jia Lian pinched Jia Cong's face, smiled and praised him for his well-written poems, "Do you know why? Because it's so advanced that the second brother can't listen to it." understood."
Jia Cong froze for a moment, then laughed.The nanny rushed over to urge Jia Cong to go back. The second master just came back, so he should let him rest early.
"Yingchun is about to give birth, and it's only a few days if you count the days. When we come back, it's cheap to walk around, isn't it?" Jingxin still thinks about the previous things, and tries to explain to Jia Lian.
Jia Lian smiled and said, "Okay, don't mention this, I don't care about it."
The next day in Dingxing, Jia's mother specially sent a mandarin duck to tell Jingxin not to work.Jia Lian saw that it was a mandarin duck, so it can be seen that Jia's mother really cared about Jingxin, but she was afraid that Jia's mother did it deliberately for her to see, and it would be easier to find out if she confronted her in person.
Jia's mother had already made preparations, and when she saw Jia Lian coming, she sent away the other girls and daughters-in-law in the house.
Jia Lian deliberately glanced at Mrs. Wang. He was still as dull and honest as before. He often lowered his head. Apart from agreeing to what Jia Mu said, he rarely made eye contact with others.
"It was I who advocated bringing your daughter-in-law back." Mother Jia noticed that Jia Lian's eyes were on Mrs. Wang, straight to the point, and told the truth. "I don't worry about her, no, it's not so much worrying, it's better to put her in front of me so I can rest assured. My old lady invited Jingxin back for her own sake. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me fire."
The old man took the initiative to block the fault on himself, what else could Jia Lian say, rebutting it was unfilial, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he simply kept silent.
Mother Jia sighed angrily, "At the beginning, I was the one who spoke harshly and hurt your hearts. But how long has passed, half a year has passed, and your anger should disappear. Could it be that my wife is still there, so you just Want to split up and go out alone?"
"This is a big taboo, who would dare?" Jia Lian replied coldly, making Jia's mother depressed for a long time.
"How long are you going to hold grudges, child! You said that you were young, and that I lacked you in everything. How I treat Baoyu now is the same way I treated you and your brother back then. I am old and don't ask for anything else. Yes, let's get together as a family and live in harmony." Jia's mother scolded first, then softened her words, and she burst into tears.
Jia Lian didn't like to hear people cry, so his brows were knitted into a ball.
Jia's mother began to talk about Jia Zheng, probably realizing that it was not easy for him, and now that he was honest and responsible, Jia Lian should be considerate of him and reconcile the conflict between him and the Prince of Li.
"Do you know what made people frame Jingxin's boudoir?" Jia Lian asked with a sneer.
Mother Jia wiped her tears and nodded, "I scolded him severely, ordered him to stay at home for a month, and told him to plead guilty to the king of Li County. But your father-in-law is a stone tempered person, so he didn't open the door to see him."
"Really pleading guilty?"
"In broad daylight, you let him kneel naked at the gate of the palace. It's too abrupt and unattractive." Jia Mu explained.
"No wonder." Jia Lian asked.
Mother Jia pointed helplessly at Jia Lian, "You! You are going to kill your second uncle!"
"I don't mean anything else. I just think that since an apology must be sincere, the county prince should be moved by a real apology. Otherwise, a harmless sentence can offset the harm he caused to others?" Jia Lian shook her head amusedly, "If you're not sincere, why mention it?"
"You're really pissing me off." Mother Jia beat her chest, and Yuanyang hurriedly helped her out.
"I heard that the second uncle took over the house, how many days after I left the house?"
Mother Jia looked wary, "What do you mean?"
Jia Lian: "If you are in a good mood, you can send someone to investigate the details of this Tongfang. After all, although you are a bastard, the blood of the Jia family cannot be confused."
Jia's mother was choked and speechless, and Zhang Yuan looked at Jia Lian in shock.What does he mean?Could it be that the second child, Tongfang, is pregnant with someone else's seed?This is impossible!Although it is a common room, when this girl entered the door, there was a mother-in-law who clearly reported that she was innocent and had virgin blood in the first night.
"Don't blame your second uncle, just make it up. It's not easy to get a name that insults a man. If it spreads, your second uncle is still a man."
"Okay, then just pretend I didn't say it." Since everyone doesn't care, Jia Lian doesn't care.It's not bad for one more person to eat at home.
Seeing Jia Lian's attitude, Jia's mother was a little concerned.Frowning and struggling for a while, he discussed with Jia Lian, "I know that the only honorable person in our family is you. We all rely on your light to look good outside. My wife is also grateful to you. How are you husband and wife at home?" , I don't care. Just promise me one thing, to save some face for your second uncle and aunt. They did make a lot of mistakes at the beginning, and it is their retribution to fall into this situation, so don't embarrass them anymore. "
"When did I take the initiative to embarrass them? That time they didn't make mistakes, provoke, or frame others? As long as they correct these problems themselves, who will waste time talking to them."
These frivolous fights between people, a waste of life, never interested him.If someday these people change and grow into corn, rice and potatoes, he might consider taking a second look.Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get his attention, unless someone really touched his bottom line and made him anxious.
Mother Jia thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was true.Every time, it was Jia Lian who offended the second room first.It turns out that there is no need to ask for this kind of favor today, it is only serious to ask the second couple to manage themselves well.
"Baoyu has improved in her studies recently. She loves school very much. If you have time, you can ask me a few questions." Jia Mu suddenly changed the subject, with a smile on her face.
Jia Lian also laughed, "I heard about it as soon as I got home. He is indeed very diligent in class recently. I heard that there is a wonderful person in the school. He is beautiful and very pleasing. Don't talk about him, even That fellow Xue Pan also went to school."
"What wonderful person?" Mother Jia's face turned gloomy again.
Jia Lian said he didn't know, he just came home.
Mother Jia moved her eyeballs and hurriedly summoned Baoyu for questioning. Baoyu naturally refused to admit it.Jia Mu heaved a sigh of relief, she believed it, patted Baoyu's hand and told him to tell her if he was wronged.
Jia Lian was not in the mood to listen to this, so he left.When she went out and turned left, a maid suddenly rushed into her arms.
Seeing that it was Jia Lian, Qing Lan hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, blushing and explained embarrassingly: "This servant did not mean it, definitely not on purpose...Slave..."
"what's up?"
Qinglan suddenly woke up, and said with a happy smile: "The news came from Ni's house that the eldest girl gave birth to a big fat boy!"
Yuan Chun gave birth to a son?
Jia Lian smiled: "Forget it, this is a happy event, I forgive you this time. First-class maid, don't do things so recklessly."
Qing Lan nodded in fear, never daring to glance at Jia Lian's face.
Jia Lian immediately went with a gust of wind and told Jingxin the good news.Jia's mother was also very happy. The whole family gathered together and congratulated each other, and prepared a lot of tonics, gold and silver pendants and other gifts to Ni's house.
The next day, Mrs. Wang went to Ni Mansion to visit her daughter and her little grandson in a sedan chair.Although the child's skin is still a little red, one can tell that his facial features are bright, his eyes are as big as grapes, and he is very spiritual. "The eyebrows and eyes look like you, and the face looks like his father. In the future, he will definitely be a handsome, handsome, upright and good man."
Yuan Chun squeezed the fragrance of pearls on his forehead and wiped his forehead, and his face recovered a little bit of blood.As soon as the mother mentioned the child, she became energetic and said with a smile that it was fortunate that the child's facial features looked like him.
Mrs. Wang looked around and whispered to her daughter: "You should be more careful about what you say, don't tell your son-in-law to listen, you don't have to be angry."
"I don't dare to get angry, he knows it in his heart. If he really doesn't know, tell him to look in the mirror and see what he is like." Yuan Chun used a small complaining tone, but he had the utterly happy appearance of a little woman .
Mrs. Wang knows that their husband and wife have a good relationship, so she can afford such a joke. For a while, she becomes envious, and then thinks of herself, and can't help but feel a little sad.
"I heard that Brother Lian has returned to the mansion, he has regained the favor, and now he has no glory. I heard that the emperor has so much confidence in him that he has kept the gold medal in his hand for a long time."
"Imperial gold medal?" Mrs. Wang opened her mouth wide in surprise, covering it with her hands, while sliding her eyeballs flexibly. "As soon as the gold medal is hung out, wouldn't it be better for the holy car to come in person?"
Yuan Chun smiled and nodded, "Of course, Lian's second brother is really proud of our Jia family."
"When did this happen?"
"Before I went to Yangzhou, I had already given it to you. It's just that those few people knew about it at the time, and my husband was the only one who learned about it from Prime Minister Jing yesterday."
"It's strange, he didn't mention it when he came home yesterday." If it was someone else, he would have opened his bloody mouth and yelled around.Anyway, if she were herself, she would definitely not be able to bear it, and she would have to show off in front of Da Fang.
"He didn't say, maybe it was because he estimated how you and your father felt." Yuan Chun slowed down his speech in embarrassment, and tentatively explained to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was taken aback, then shook her head and said it was impossible.
"In any case, you have to listen to your daughter's persuasion, live your life according to your duties, our second wife is fine like this. If the father does not become an official, he will not be an official. The family will be safe and sound, and there will be no accidents. Let go of those delusions Let's live and take care of yourselves." Yuan Chun held Mrs. Wang's hand, tears streaming down her face, "Mother, do you still remember what you told me when I just came back from the palace? You said I was old , I can’t marry a good man, and I blame me for being worthless. If my brothers and sisters hadn’t comforted me, I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today, and I wouldn’t have this child.”
Mrs. Wang also started to cry, nodded, grabbed Yuan Chun's hand instead, and apologized to her, "It's all my fault that I was in a daze at the time, and I was only concerned about saving face and arguing with the big house, but forgot the most important duty of a mother, that is, Protect you and Baoyu as a pair of treasures. In this life, if you die, you can't bring anything, and you can't take anything away. As long as you two can get better, I don't ask for anything. "
Yuan Chun cried and leaned against Mrs. Wang's arms, how much his mother wanted to meet.When he said those words just now, Yuan Chun was faintly worried that his mother would get angry because of her nonsense and ignore her any more.Now she can think so clearly and see through everything, which is really rare.
"As long as it's for you and Baoyu, even if I lie low in front of your second brother for the rest of my life, serving tea and water, I'm willing to do anything!" Mrs. Wang said harshly. cry.But he didn't dare to make Yuan Chun sad for too long, advised her not to worry about herself, and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief while smiling.
After a while, I heard from the little maid that the Second Mistress of Rong Mansion had sent a lot of live black-bone chickens, bird's nests and ginseng, and several baskets of fresh fruits.
The maid washed two dishes and came over.
Yuan Chun saw two round red fruits on the plate, which she had never seen before. "What's this?"
The servant girl looked at the ceiling and thought for herself, "It seems to be called tomato. It is said to be a fruit from Fanbang. It is sweet and sour and juicy. You can just wash it and eat it directly. The green one in the back is not edible, servant girl Take it off for you first."
The maid then brought over two tomatoes.Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang have one in each hand.
Mrs. Wang looked at it curiously, weighed it, and pinched it again, "I really haven't seen this thing before."
"It should be the same as last year's strawberry, this year it's a fresh one." Yuan Chun took a bite, and it was really tender, juicy, sour and sweet.She hurriedly wiped the juice from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, sent some servant girls to the master and wife's room, and asked Mrs. Wang to bring some back, but Mrs. Wang did not.
"Your brother Lian lives in the mansion, I don't need to take him back."
Yuan Chun hesitated to speak, knowing in his heart that Erfang couldn't afford the Zhuangzi's food, but he didn't have the nerve to reveal the truth on the spot.After seeing off Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun sat on the couch in a daze and worried.
Ni Yuankui came back from court and came to see his daughter-in-law happily, grinning almost to the ears, "I tell you great news!"
"Husband has been promoted?" Yuan Chun asked with blinking eyes.
Ni Yuankui was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It is true that he has been promoted, the head of the Ministry of Industry. But the good news I want to tell you is not this, it is your second brother, who was named and praised by the emperor today, and the crops in the Northwest and Jiangnan suffered serious diseases twice, thanks to Your second brother, Zhigao, solved it with a wonderful method, filled the treasury, stabilized the people, and suppressed the barbarian army. Now the barbarian army has retreated a hundred miles away, and they are frightened by the potatoes of our Song Dynasty! I It is estimated that they will not start a war casually in a short time."
"Then he must have made great achievements, right?" Yuan Chun asked.
"Naturally! Your second brother defeated the enemy with one move, saved the people's livelihood, and helped the country. He is really the number one hero of our Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor decreed that your second brother should be conferred the title of Super First Rank Lord of the Town immediately."
"What? Lord Zhen? It's still super first grade!" Yuan Chun's eyes widened, and he was about to stand up excitedly, but was stopped by Ni Yuankui and sat down. exist……"
"The emperor said that Jingxin is the queen's granddaughter, and brother Lian is a member of the royal family, so he explained it in front of him. In addition, he has made great achievements, and no one dares to disagree with this one."
"This is really a happy event." Yuan Chun smiled and wiped his tears, and sighed, "When this news reaches the Rong Mansion, the whole family will be so happy."
……
Rongguofu.
Jia's mother had just investigated the details of Jia Zheng's housekeeper, but she never expected to find out about Qi Tianlai.Fortunately, Qi Tianlai's family members are still in the custody of the government office, and with some money, they can buy a housekeeper of Qi Tianlai's house.Mother Jia sent Qinglan to take the old woman to visit Tongfang, quietly confirming that it was really her.
Jia Mu's face was livid with anger for a while, and after further questioning, she actually found out that before she entered the Rong Mansion, she was still the person who was favored by Qi Tianlai's side.Originally, she wanted to complete the task, but she was waiting for Qi Tian to come to pick her up, but an accident happened, Qi Tian went to prison, and this woman could only live in Rong Mansion for the time being.
"Looking at it this way, the name on her contract of sale is naturally fake. She pretended to be cute at first, and I spotted her in Baoyu's room. This vixen must have tried her best to seduce him. Hmph, it's hard for him to He also kept saying that he likes it himself, and it has nothing to do with that little vixen. Hmph, now it’s all right, the hair on his head is green because of a prodigal! I’m getting old, I’m not going to be safe at the end of the day!” Mother Jia scolded road.
"Come on, hurry up and throw that scumbag out with twenty boards. No, Jingxin is pregnant now, and she is jealous of blood." Jia Mu thought for a while, then changed her words, "We are kind, so we won't do anything to her .Tell her to keep things from the Rong Mansion, just get out of here!"
The women agreed, and rushed to the east of the mansion without saying a word.Mrs. Wang was passing the vermilion lacquered gate in a sedan chair, when she suddenly saw this posture startled, she didn't have time to ask what's the matter, she saw the women pulling Jia Shexinna's room out, ignoring the girl's screams, He stripped off her clothes in two or three strokes, not even leaving her shoes and socks.The hairpins on his head and the ones on his ears were all wiped clean, and then the man with the white strips went to the east foot gate.
Mrs. Wang was afraid of dirtying her eyes, so she covered them with a veil, and when the reaction came back, she didn't have time to ask what was going on.
Jia Zheng led the cleaner out of the study slightly drunk, and asked Mrs. Wang, "What's the matter? You're making such a fuss."
"Uh, that one was thrown out." Mrs. Wang pointed to the room where Tongfang lived.
Jia Zheng was stunned, and rushed into the room, but he didn't see his beautiful concubine. When he went out, he scolded Mrs. Wang for being unworthy, and angrily led others to chase the door.
Madam Wang was annoyed by Jia Zheng, who scolded her and wronged her, turned around in disgust, and sat in the middle of the hall annoyed, sulking.After a while, she felt that Jia Zheng's embarrassment should not be missed, so she led someone to the door in a small sedan chair.
As soon as the white woman was thrown out, coupled with her crying, it soon attracted many people to watch.
The mother-in-law immediately slapped her mouth and twisted her chin to prevent her from crying.Tell her about her promiscuity and pregnancy, "The master is merciful and won't beat you. If you don't send you to see an official, you will be handed over by Amitabha. Hmph, why don't you go away quickly? Do you want to cry here and attract people?" Appreciate your flair? Get out of here! If you don’t leave, I’ll beat you to an officer!”
Tong Fang hugged his body in shame, and ran away scrambling.But where could she go? Before she caught a ray, she left Rongning Street, which was a busy road...
Through the crack of the door, with an iron gray face on his face, Jia Zheng watched fiercely as the naked woman with a protruding belly ran away and punched the door panel.
The women were startled when they heard the sound, and they leaned over to have a look. When they saw that it was Jia Zheng, they didn't know what to put on in embarrassment, but in their hearts they were the second master who made a joke and made a fool of himself.
Mrs. Wang's sedan chair was parked outside the Eryi Gate. After appreciating all this quietly, she asked someone to pick up the sedan chair and go to the old lady's place.Seeing this, Jia Zheng was not reconciled, and thought it was Mrs. Wang who did it, and chased after the sedan chair to seek Mrs. Wang's comment.
Mrs. Wang guessed that Jia Zheng would chase, and deliberately asked the bearers to speed up.After getting off the sedan chair, she hurried to Jia Mu.Because this matter must have been done by Jia's mother, if Jia Zheng came after him here, he would be making a fool of himself.
Sure enough, Jia Zheng, who was in a rage, accused and abused Mrs. Wang as soon as he entered the door, just like he had beaten Baoyu indiscriminately.
"At the beginning, you didn't agree with me, but now that she is about to give birth to a son, you conspired to frame her reputation, what kind of bastard? I don't know about her upright and innocent body?"
When Jia Mu suddenly saw Jia Zheng rush in and say this, she was a little confused.
Jia Lian and Jia She were sitting and drinking tea. After hearing this, both father and son raised their heads in one gesture and squinted at Jia Zheng.
Only then did Jia Zheng realize that there were so many people in the room, he stroked his beard in embarrassment, and whispered something in front of Jia's mother.From time to time, his eyes aimed at Mrs. Wang, obviously complaining.
Mother Jia was so angry that she picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground, "Don't blame her, it's all my idea. You are so innocent, I think you are really stupid!"
Jia Zheng still refused to accept it, so don't be fooled by Mrs. Wang's plot, "You have been fooled by her many times before, have you forgotten?"
"Shut up, you don't feel ashamed, I'm ashamed for you." After Jia Mu scolded, she asked someone to bring the Qi family's mother-in-law over and make her report to Jia Zheng face to face.
Jia Zhengchu didn't believe it, and said that she was an innocent daughter.The old lady was so angry that she sneered, "Second Master, Master Qi has been sleeping with him for a whole year, and we all stood guard outside the door, and we could hear clearly. In summer, the two of us would play wild games, How can it be wrong to send us to guard the outside?"
Jia Zheng's livid face was covered with a layer of red, and the wings of his nose were stretched to the extreme. The round nostrils could almost fit two red dates.Jia Zheng's red eyes stared fiercely at the front, and he didn't know what he was looking at, but it was very frightening.
Jia Zheng hated everyone present. He put on the green hat to give birth to someone else's child, was fooled around, and was even stupid enough to defend that bitch.
His face, the last remnant of his face, was completely ruined by this woman!
The scene was too embarrassing, Jia Zheng lowered his head, retreated tremblingly, and fled like flying.
Jia Mu's tone remained on, and she snorted twice, so she couldn't help scolding him for being confused.
Jia Shehe chuckled: "When people are old, their brains are not enough, so they are easy to be fooled by others. Fortunately, this kind of thing happened at home, and it is said here, it is here, and it cannot be spread outside. If this happened in the officialdom In fact, his brain is still so hard to use, and he made a similar scandal, but it really... embarrasses our family. Don’t you think so, son? "
In the end, Jia Amnesty deliberately picked up Jia Lian, with a look of pride on his face.
Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian, her expression calmed down in an instant, she smiled kindly and nodded at Jia She, "You are right, your second brother is not as good as you, but you are worse than you, and you can teach your son. This time our family has really responded to the country. In the name of the Duke's mansion, there is another Duke of the State, who is also a super-rank Duke of Zhen, even higher than the meritorious service of the old ancestors. My precious grandson, you are so proud!" Jia Mu said. , so I called Jia Lian to come quickly, and wanted to give him a pass.
Jia Lian squints at Jia Amnesty.
Jia She, who was watching the fun, hurriedly got up and said to Jia Mu: "Mother, don't treat him like a child, and go to your arms to have fun? Now he is the Duke of the country. Give this child some dignity, so that he can be called Stand up in front of outsiders!"
"Yes, yes, I listen to you." Mother Jia smiled happily from ear to ear, seeing the little maid picking up the debris on the ground, Mother Jia said unhappily, "It's a good happy event, but it was defeated by his disturbance just now." How much interest did you get. Second daughter-in-law, why didn't you stop him from ordering!"
Mrs. Wang was still standing there in a daze, and the title Grand Duke exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.What Duke?Jia Lian was named Duke of the State by the imperial court! ?Chao Yipin Town Duke?Even higher than Duke Rong!
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still dumbfounded, Jia's mother suddenly laughed, "I forgot, she didn't know about Lian'er's imperial conferment as Duke of the Town. She was shocked and dumbfounded!"
Mrs. Wang managed to regain her senses, twitching the corners of her mouth happily, and congratulated Jia Lian, Jia She and Jia Mu, saying that this was a well-established happy event, and the family should celebrate it.
Before Jia Lian could open her mouth, Jia's mother said, "You should understand the rules of the family, and you should be quieter at this time. It's okay to be clear. It's still the same as before. It's just a gathering of relatives and friends. Don't Too flamboyant."
Jia Amnesty pursed his lips and looked at Jia Lian with a smile, meaning: Look, the old lady understands these things this time, so I don't need to explain.
Jia Lian glanced back at him slightly, signaling him to continue to maintain his state and not neglect.Anyway, in the future, Jia She will take care of all the troubles of Jia Mu here, so that he will promise Jia She to tell him some anecdotes that happened in the court.
Jia Amnesty held her mouth shut, nodded in displeasure, and said to Jia Lian in a low voice, "Just don't renege on your debts, I will block everything from the old lady's side."
"Yeah." Jia Lian squinted her eyes, and her hum was really grandpa-like.
"Hehe, look at you, you are not yet twenty, and you really think of yourself as an old man?" Jia Amnesty said dissatisfied, "Stop showing such virtues to me in the future! You are the Duke of the state. How about my father, I am still your old man."
Jia Amnesty said this loudly, and was heard by Jia's mother.Jia Mu yelled at her, which made Jia She tremble.
"Be more serious with Jia Lian in the future, he is not the bastard who you scolded me back then." Mother Jia said angrily.
Jia Amnesty pursed his lips and agreed, feeling bitter in his heart.It turned out that he stopped the job out of anger!
Mrs. Wang went back with a face full of disappointment. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jia Zheng throwing a bottle at her in a targeted manner, cursing, blaming Mrs. Wang for walking too fast just now, which caused him to enter Jia Mu's flower hall and be so humiliated .
"It's the master who can't blame others if he can't catch up with him. Besides, I didn't have a hand in the matter of the room from the beginning to the end. Now why is it all the blame?"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang also contradicted him, Jia Zheng was even angrier, "I thought today would be a good day, but it was all disturbed by that dead woman."
Mrs. Wang listened to this with a wooden face, and sneered in her heart.
"This morning, the King of Beijing Jing came to me and said that he had a good job for me, and asked me to wait at home for the next few days." Originally, he wanted to wait until the matter was settled, but Jia Zheng felt that he could not be underestimated by his wife. Then blurted out.
Mrs. Wang slowly turned her head to look at Jia Zheng, and suddenly felt that his solemn face was ridiculous, so she laughed.
Shrill laughter suddenly came to mind in the empty room, making Jia Zheng startled.
"You don't know yet, do you?"
Jia Zheng was puzzled: "Know what?"
"Your nephew, Lian, has been conferred the title of Duke of Chao Yipin Town."
"What!" Jia Zheng lost his ability to think in an instant, his body was numb, and his eyes were fixed on Mrs. Wang, "Say it again."
"Duke Zhen, your nephew is the Duke of Zhen. Heh, you have to go back and continue to be a petty official. Don't forget to learn how to salute first. You will always use it when you meet in officialdom."
"Ms. Wang, you wicked woman, how dare you sarcastically mock me!"
"What kind of ability is it to work hard with women at home? If you have the ability, go out and have fun." Mrs. Wang sneered and gave him a white look. Anyway, she has had enough. Now that she has nothing, she is not afraid to fight. Why continue to endure incompetent gentlemen .
"You—see if I don't beat you to death!" After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he picked up his shoes and wanted to hit Mrs. Wang.It happened that Jin Chuan and others came in with tea, and they were so surprised that they overturned the tea bowl.
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and cried, "My lord, how can I only think that woman is an unclean body. If the master wants to blame, I just admit my mistake."
Jia Zheng was embarrassed, pointing at Mrs. Wang and scolding.
Mrs. Wang cried while holding her head.Jin Chuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he glanced at the person behind him, and then went to pester Mrs. Wang, and persuaded the second master not to vent his anger on that lady.
Jia Zheng was so angry that he wanted to explain that it wasn't like this just now, but was interrupted by Mrs. Wang's complaints and cries again and again.After a while, the old lady sent her mother-in-law and told him to come over.For no reason, Jia Zheng had a good meal in front of Jia's mother.Jia's mother repeatedly emphasized that he is not allowed to be rough on Mrs. Wang again.
"She's her duty. Anyway, she's the mother of the two children. You don't know how to give this little face. How confused you are! It's hard for your elder brother to say that if you go to an official with such a head, it will only embarrass our family. Shame. Go back and reflect on yourself. From now on, you will be at home with your daughter-in-law to recite the Buddha's name. Don't worry about the King of Beijing, you are not allowed to go!" Let the second son go out to drag his legs.Anyway, if the family wants money and power, it's not bad to raise a useless son.
Jia Zheng was so angry that he couldn't help it.In the family, the old lady is always the boss, and now the old lady is partial to the big house, and it is delicious for people to fart.What can he do, he can only suffer.But with Mrs. Wang, he was very unwilling to face it, so he often stayed out overnight, or even if he went home, he would avoid Mrs. Wang and hide with his aunt to sleep.
Jia's mother heard reports on Jia Zheng's situation several times, and she felt that he was useless, and that this guy was worse than his elder brother and an asshole.Perhaps there is a problem with the way I educate my children, otherwise why can't I teach both of them well?
After thinking about it, Jia's mother decided to let go as soon as she could, and try not to interfere in the affairs of her children and grandchildren, especially Jia Lian's affairs.She really didn't dare to control her anymore, she used to think that Jia Lian was unfilial and would always talk back and disobey her.Now he is afraid that Jia Lian will listen to him and become like his father and second uncle in the future.Therefore, Mother Jia dared not raise any objections to anything that was cheap.
By the end of summer, the repair of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, which the emperor had bestowed on Jia Lian, had been completed.A large family moved to a new and larger mansion, which was far away from the original Rongning Street, about two sticks of incense.The residents around the new mansion are basically the homes of important ministers in the court.For example, it is only one street away from Lijun Wang's Mansion, and it is not too far away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Mansion, Ni Mansion, and Jiang Mansion within three streets.In order to join in the fun, Xue Pan recently bought a new house to live in.
The celebration of Jia Lian's feudal title was held in the new house.The number of people who came was similar to that of Jia Lian's birthday last time, except that there were more female relatives, and a Ningguo Mansion was added.
The banquet and wine turned into a garden tour, and two tables were laid in the gazebo. The back garden was bounded by a stone arch bridge, separating the front and rear, male and female relatives.
Jia Liansu didn't like to listen to dramas, and because he was the protagonist recently, he was often given alcohol, and he was [-]% drunk.Later, taking the opportunity to escape, Jia Lian hid quietly in the gazebo.Not long after, he fell asleep leaning on the railing.Then, in a daze, I heard a female voice calling him.As soon as Jia Lian opened his eyes, he saw a maidservant with delicate features. After meeting his eyes, she quickly bowed and stepped back, and turned to the woman standing by the gazebo, shouting, "Grandma is awake."
Seeing the woman's face after turning around, Jia Lian woke up from the wine immediately.
It's Wang Xifeng.
Jia Lian immediately got up and left.
Wang Xifeng was a little agitated, and chased after him, telling him to stop, "If you don't stop, I will tell people that you molested me right now."
"Shout whatever you like, and see if it's Xinxin who has more people, or mine." Jia Lian sneered and continued to turn around and walk.
"You—" Wang Xifeng stomped her feet angrily, chasing after Jia Lian to complain about how much Jia Lian's actions had affected her. "Now that I'm a married woman, what I think about day and night is not how virtuous and virtuous I am, but my mind is full of unwillingness. I want to know why you suddenly changed your mind and refused to agree to that marriage."
"Did I take advantage of you back then?" Jia Lian asked her.
Wang Xifeng nodded and shook his head.
"It's just passing a glance when you want to see it. If you agree, you will come, and if you don't agree, you will leave. If there is no love, how can you change the situation. Now that the situation has changed, your entanglement, resentment and anger are all your business. What have I to do with it?" Jia Lian turned around and hurried into the path.Wang Xifeng wanted to chase but was dazed by the trails interspersed in the forest.
Afterwards, the women in the Zhen Guogong's mansion who were in charge of guarding the front and rear boundaries all received boards and deducted monthly payments.
Jia Lian also called Mrs. Cui over and asked her what the result was when she told Wang Xifeng.
Granny Cui shook her head and knelt down to Jia Lian, "After the certificate is sent up, the yamen won't accept it at all."
"You don't have enough evidence, and the accusation is so high
"About half a month after you left, the old lady came to see me in Bieyuan..." Jing Xin lowered her head and grabbed Jia Lian's hand, "The old man made a lot of promises, and she didn't wrong me at all when she came back. Good. Maybe it's because I've lived here for a long time, but I think living here is more comfortable than living in another garden."
Jia Lian saw that her expression was only troubled, not wronged, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't need to comfort me, I know that it is not easy for you to be daughters-in-law. The elders have come forward in person, and you have to agree to her if you say that, and I will talk to you later. She reasoned well."
"Farewell, we are all in the same family. It's not good to hurt the peace. What matters is the second master's business. If his child is not from the Jia family, it will be a big scandal." Jingxin hesitated Then he said to Jia Lian, "I want to come back, but there is actually another reason. Xing'er's stepmother, Mrs. Cui, came to see me."
Jia Lian paused for a while before remembering that Mrs. Cui was the younger sister of Guanshi Cui who was suspected of smoking.She has been a widow for many years, and she suddenly married Xing'er's father, which seems to be aimed at Wang Xifeng.
"What happened to her?" Jia Lian asked.
Jing Xin said to Jia Lian in a low voice: "She found out that the man was making a profit, and said that she disregarded human life, and forced to kill Brother Rong's two partners."
"Then?" Jia Lian asked.
"She wants revenge, she wants to bring this matter to the government." Jingxin said worriedly.
"Ah."
"Huh? The second master just hummed?" Jingxin was puzzled, "The two houses of Rongning and Ningxia belong to the same clan, and outsiders often regard the two families together as one family. If such a scandal in her family is spread, our reputation will be ruined." will also be damaged."
"Let her sue, and no one dares to accept it." Jia Lian said indifferently.
"What do you mean? Seriously?" Jingxin asked.
Jia Lian blinked his eyes to show that he was serious, so he didn't mention it.Jia Lian was tired from the journey, so he stretched himself, went to take a hot bath, and lay down on the couch, listening to Jia Cong, who came happily holding a book, report his homework to him.
Jingxin was embroidering with a flower frame on the side, so she raised her head and smiled.
"Second brother, I also wrote two poems recently. My husband said that I have done so well that I can recite them to my second brother." Jia Cong proudly raised his little head, and began to recite without emphasizing.
Jia Lian laughed straight after hearing this.
After Jia Conglang finished reading, he flung himself into Jia Lian's arms, "Second Brother, how are you? Isn't it amazing?"
"Hey, who taught our little one badly, such a thick-skinned!" Jia Lian pinched Jia Cong's face, smiled and praised him for his well-written poems, "Do you know why? Because it's so advanced that the second brother can't listen to it." understood."
Jia Cong froze for a moment, then laughed.The nanny rushed over to urge Jia Cong to go back. The second master just came back, so he should let him rest early.
"Yingchun is about to give birth, and it's only a few days if you count the days. When we come back, it's cheap to walk around, isn't it?" Jingxin still thinks about the previous things, and tries to explain to Jia Lian.
Jia Lian smiled and said, "Okay, don't mention this, I don't care about it."
The next day in Dingxing, Jia's mother specially sent a mandarin duck to tell Jingxin not to work.Jia Lian saw that it was a mandarin duck, so it can be seen that Jia's mother really cared about Jingxin, but she was afraid that Jia's mother did it deliberately for her to see, and it would be easier to find out if she confronted her in person.
Jia's mother had already made preparations, and when she saw Jia Lian coming, she sent away the other girls and daughters-in-law in the house.
Jia Lian deliberately glanced at Mrs. Wang. He was still as dull and honest as before. He often lowered his head. Apart from agreeing to what Jia Mu said, he rarely made eye contact with others.
"It was I who advocated bringing your daughter-in-law back." Mother Jia noticed that Jia Lian's eyes were on Mrs. Wang, straight to the point, and told the truth. "I don't worry about her, no, it's not so much worrying, it's better to put her in front of me so I can rest assured. My old lady invited Jingxin back for her own sake. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me fire."
The old man took the initiative to block the fault on himself, what else could Jia Lian say, rebutting it was unfilial, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he simply kept silent.
Mother Jia sighed angrily, "At the beginning, I was the one who spoke harshly and hurt your hearts. But how long has passed, half a year has passed, and your anger should disappear. Could it be that my wife is still there, so you just Want to split up and go out alone?"
"This is a big taboo, who would dare?" Jia Lian replied coldly, making Jia's mother depressed for a long time.
"How long are you going to hold grudges, child! You said that you were young, and that I lacked you in everything. How I treat Baoyu now is the same way I treated you and your brother back then. I am old and don't ask for anything else. Yes, let's get together as a family and live in harmony." Jia's mother scolded first, then softened her words, and she burst into tears.
Jia Lian didn't like to hear people cry, so his brows were knitted into a ball.
Jia's mother began to talk about Jia Zheng, probably realizing that it was not easy for him, and now that he was honest and responsible, Jia Lian should be considerate of him and reconcile the conflict between him and the Prince of Li.
"Do you know what made people frame Jingxin's boudoir?" Jia Lian asked with a sneer.
Mother Jia wiped her tears and nodded, "I scolded him severely, ordered him to stay at home for a month, and told him to plead guilty to the king of Li County. But your father-in-law is a stone tempered person, so he didn't open the door to see him."
"Really pleading guilty?"
"In broad daylight, you let him kneel naked at the gate of the palace. It's too abrupt and unattractive." Jia Mu explained.
"No wonder." Jia Lian asked.
Mother Jia pointed helplessly at Jia Lian, "You! You are going to kill your second uncle!"
"I don't mean anything else. I just think that since an apology must be sincere, the county prince should be moved by a real apology. Otherwise, a harmless sentence can offset the harm he caused to others?" Jia Lian shook her head amusedly, "If you're not sincere, why mention it?"
"You're really pissing me off." Mother Jia beat her chest, and Yuanyang hurriedly helped her out.
"I heard that the second uncle took over the house, how many days after I left the house?"
Mother Jia looked wary, "What do you mean?"
Jia Lian: "If you are in a good mood, you can send someone to investigate the details of this Tongfang. After all, although you are a bastard, the blood of the Jia family cannot be confused."
Jia's mother was choked and speechless, and Zhang Yuan looked at Jia Lian in shock.What does he mean?Could it be that the second child, Tongfang, is pregnant with someone else's seed?This is impossible!Although it is a common room, when this girl entered the door, there was a mother-in-law who clearly reported that she was innocent and had virgin blood in the first night.
"Don't blame your second uncle, just make it up. It's not easy to get a name that insults a man. If it spreads, your second uncle is still a man."
"Okay, then just pretend I didn't say it." Since everyone doesn't care, Jia Lian doesn't care.It's not bad for one more person to eat at home.
Seeing Jia Lian's attitude, Jia's mother was a little concerned.Frowning and struggling for a while, he discussed with Jia Lian, "I know that the only honorable person in our family is you. We all rely on your light to look good outside. My wife is also grateful to you. How are you husband and wife at home?" , I don't care. Just promise me one thing, to save some face for your second uncle and aunt. They did make a lot of mistakes at the beginning, and it is their retribution to fall into this situation, so don't embarrass them anymore. "
"When did I take the initiative to embarrass them? That time they didn't make mistakes, provoke, or frame others? As long as they correct these problems themselves, who will waste time talking to them."
These frivolous fights between people, a waste of life, never interested him.If someday these people change and grow into corn, rice and potatoes, he might consider taking a second look.Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get his attention, unless someone really touched his bottom line and made him anxious.
Mother Jia thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was true.Every time, it was Jia Lian who offended the second room first.It turns out that there is no need to ask for this kind of favor today, it is only serious to ask the second couple to manage themselves well.
"Baoyu has improved in her studies recently. She loves school very much. If you have time, you can ask me a few questions." Jia Mu suddenly changed the subject, with a smile on her face.
Jia Lian also laughed, "I heard about it as soon as I got home. He is indeed very diligent in class recently. I heard that there is a wonderful person in the school. He is beautiful and very pleasing. Don't talk about him, even That fellow Xue Pan also went to school."
"What wonderful person?" Mother Jia's face turned gloomy again.
Jia Lian said he didn't know, he just came home.
Mother Jia moved her eyeballs and hurriedly summoned Baoyu for questioning. Baoyu naturally refused to admit it.Jia Mu heaved a sigh of relief, she believed it, patted Baoyu's hand and told him to tell her if he was wronged.
Jia Lian was not in the mood to listen to this, so he left.When she went out and turned left, a maid suddenly rushed into her arms.
Seeing that it was Jia Lian, Qing Lan hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, blushing and explained embarrassingly: "This servant did not mean it, definitely not on purpose...Slave..."
"what's up?"
Qinglan suddenly woke up, and said with a happy smile: "The news came from Ni's house that the eldest girl gave birth to a big fat boy!"
Yuan Chun gave birth to a son?
Jia Lian smiled: "Forget it, this is a happy event, I forgive you this time. First-class maid, don't do things so recklessly."
Qing Lan nodded in fear, never daring to glance at Jia Lian's face.
Jia Lian immediately went with a gust of wind and told Jingxin the good news.Jia's mother was also very happy. The whole family gathered together and congratulated each other, and prepared a lot of tonics, gold and silver pendants and other gifts to Ni's house.
The next day, Mrs. Wang went to Ni Mansion to visit her daughter and her little grandson in a sedan chair.Although the child's skin is still a little red, one can tell that his facial features are bright, his eyes are as big as grapes, and he is very spiritual. "The eyebrows and eyes look like you, and the face looks like his father. In the future, he will definitely be a handsome, handsome, upright and good man."
Yuan Chun squeezed the fragrance of pearls on his forehead and wiped his forehead, and his face recovered a little bit of blood.As soon as the mother mentioned the child, she became energetic and said with a smile that it was fortunate that the child's facial features looked like him.
Mrs. Wang looked around and whispered to her daughter: "You should be more careful about what you say, don't tell your son-in-law to listen, you don't have to be angry."
"I don't dare to get angry, he knows it in his heart. If he really doesn't know, tell him to look in the mirror and see what he is like." Yuan Chun used a small complaining tone, but he had the utterly happy appearance of a little woman .
Mrs. Wang knows that their husband and wife have a good relationship, so she can afford such a joke. For a while, she becomes envious, and then thinks of herself, and can't help but feel a little sad.
"I heard that Brother Lian has returned to the mansion, he has regained the favor, and now he has no glory. I heard that the emperor has so much confidence in him that he has kept the gold medal in his hand for a long time."
"Imperial gold medal?" Mrs. Wang opened her mouth wide in surprise, covering it with her hands, while sliding her eyeballs flexibly. "As soon as the gold medal is hung out, wouldn't it be better for the holy car to come in person?"
Yuan Chun smiled and nodded, "Of course, Lian's second brother is really proud of our Jia family."
"When did this happen?"
"Before I went to Yangzhou, I had already given it to you. It's just that those few people knew about it at the time, and my husband was the only one who learned about it from Prime Minister Jing yesterday."
"It's strange, he didn't mention it when he came home yesterday." If it was someone else, he would have opened his bloody mouth and yelled around.Anyway, if she were herself, she would definitely not be able to bear it, and she would have to show off in front of Da Fang.
"He didn't say, maybe it was because he estimated how you and your father felt." Yuan Chun slowed down his speech in embarrassment, and tentatively explained to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was taken aback, then shook her head and said it was impossible.
"In any case, you have to listen to your daughter's persuasion, live your life according to your duties, our second wife is fine like this. If the father does not become an official, he will not be an official. The family will be safe and sound, and there will be no accidents. Let go of those delusions Let's live and take care of yourselves." Yuan Chun held Mrs. Wang's hand, tears streaming down her face, "Mother, do you still remember what you told me when I just came back from the palace? You said I was old , I can’t marry a good man, and I blame me for being worthless. If my brothers and sisters hadn’t comforted me, I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today, and I wouldn’t have this child.”
Mrs. Wang also started to cry, nodded, grabbed Yuan Chun's hand instead, and apologized to her, "It's all my fault that I was in a daze at the time, and I was only concerned about saving face and arguing with the big house, but forgot the most important duty of a mother, that is, Protect you and Baoyu as a pair of treasures. In this life, if you die, you can't bring anything, and you can't take anything away. As long as you two can get better, I don't ask for anything. "
Yuan Chun cried and leaned against Mrs. Wang's arms, how much his mother wanted to meet.When he said those words just now, Yuan Chun was faintly worried that his mother would get angry because of her nonsense and ignore her any more.Now she can think so clearly and see through everything, which is really rare.
"As long as it's for you and Baoyu, even if I lie low in front of your second brother for the rest of my life, serving tea and water, I'm willing to do anything!" Mrs. Wang said harshly. cry.But he didn't dare to make Yuan Chun sad for too long, advised her not to worry about herself, and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief while smiling.
After a while, I heard from the little maid that the Second Mistress of Rong Mansion had sent a lot of live black-bone chickens, bird's nests and ginseng, and several baskets of fresh fruits.
The maid washed two dishes and came over.
Yuan Chun saw two round red fruits on the plate, which she had never seen before. "What's this?"
The servant girl looked at the ceiling and thought for herself, "It seems to be called tomato. It is said to be a fruit from Fanbang. It is sweet and sour and juicy. You can just wash it and eat it directly. The green one in the back is not edible, servant girl Take it off for you first."
The maid then brought over two tomatoes.Yuan Chun and Mrs. Wang have one in each hand.
Mrs. Wang looked at it curiously, weighed it, and pinched it again, "I really haven't seen this thing before."
"It should be the same as last year's strawberry, this year it's a fresh one." Yuan Chun took a bite, and it was really tender, juicy, sour and sweet.She hurriedly wiped the juice from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, sent some servant girls to the master and wife's room, and asked Mrs. Wang to bring some back, but Mrs. Wang did not.
"Your brother Lian lives in the mansion, I don't need to take him back."
Yuan Chun hesitated to speak, knowing in his heart that Erfang couldn't afford the Zhuangzi's food, but he didn't have the nerve to reveal the truth on the spot.After seeing off Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun sat on the couch in a daze and worried.
Ni Yuankui came back from court and came to see his daughter-in-law happily, grinning almost to the ears, "I tell you great news!"
"Husband has been promoted?" Yuan Chun asked with blinking eyes.
Ni Yuankui was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It is true that he has been promoted, the head of the Ministry of Industry. But the good news I want to tell you is not this, it is your second brother, who was named and praised by the emperor today, and the crops in the Northwest and Jiangnan suffered serious diseases twice, thanks to Your second brother, Zhigao, solved it with a wonderful method, filled the treasury, stabilized the people, and suppressed the barbarian army. Now the barbarian army has retreated a hundred miles away, and they are frightened by the potatoes of our Song Dynasty! I It is estimated that they will not start a war casually in a short time."
"Then he must have made great achievements, right?" Yuan Chun asked.
"Naturally! Your second brother defeated the enemy with one move, saved the people's livelihood, and helped the country. He is really the number one hero of our Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor decreed that your second brother should be conferred the title of Super First Rank Lord of the Town immediately."
"What? Lord Zhen? It's still super first grade!" Yuan Chun's eyes widened, and he was about to stand up excitedly, but was stopped by Ni Yuankui and sat down. exist……"
"The emperor said that Jingxin is the queen's granddaughter, and brother Lian is a member of the royal family, so he explained it in front of him. In addition, he has made great achievements, and no one dares to disagree with this one."
"This is really a happy event." Yuan Chun smiled and wiped his tears, and sighed, "When this news reaches the Rong Mansion, the whole family will be so happy."
……
Rongguofu.
Jia's mother had just investigated the details of Jia Zheng's housekeeper, but she never expected to find out about Qi Tianlai.Fortunately, Qi Tianlai's family members are still in the custody of the government office, and with some money, they can buy a housekeeper of Qi Tianlai's house.Mother Jia sent Qinglan to take the old woman to visit Tongfang, quietly confirming that it was really her.
Jia Mu's face was livid with anger for a while, and after further questioning, she actually found out that before she entered the Rong Mansion, she was still the person who was favored by Qi Tianlai's side.Originally, she wanted to complete the task, but she was waiting for Qi Tian to come to pick her up, but an accident happened, Qi Tian went to prison, and this woman could only live in Rong Mansion for the time being.
"Looking at it this way, the name on her contract of sale is naturally fake. She pretended to be cute at first, and I spotted her in Baoyu's room. This vixen must have tried her best to seduce him. Hmph, it's hard for him to He also kept saying that he likes it himself, and it has nothing to do with that little vixen. Hmph, now it’s all right, the hair on his head is green because of a prodigal! I’m getting old, I’m not going to be safe at the end of the day!” Mother Jia scolded road.
"Come on, hurry up and throw that scumbag out with twenty boards. No, Jingxin is pregnant now, and she is jealous of blood." Jia Mu thought for a while, then changed her words, "We are kind, so we won't do anything to her .Tell her to keep things from the Rong Mansion, just get out of here!"
The women agreed, and rushed to the east of the mansion without saying a word.Mrs. Wang was passing the vermilion lacquered gate in a sedan chair, when she suddenly saw this posture startled, she didn't have time to ask what's the matter, she saw the women pulling Jia Shexinna's room out, ignoring the girl's screams, He stripped off her clothes in two or three strokes, not even leaving her shoes and socks.The hairpins on his head and the ones on his ears were all wiped clean, and then the man with the white strips went to the east foot gate.
Mrs. Wang was afraid of dirtying her eyes, so she covered them with a veil, and when the reaction came back, she didn't have time to ask what was going on.
Jia Zheng led the cleaner out of the study slightly drunk, and asked Mrs. Wang, "What's the matter? You're making such a fuss."
"Uh, that one was thrown out." Mrs. Wang pointed to the room where Tongfang lived.
Jia Zheng was stunned, and rushed into the room, but he didn't see his beautiful concubine. When he went out, he scolded Mrs. Wang for being unworthy, and angrily led others to chase the door.
Madam Wang was annoyed by Jia Zheng, who scolded her and wronged her, turned around in disgust, and sat in the middle of the hall annoyed, sulking.After a while, she felt that Jia Zheng's embarrassment should not be missed, so she led someone to the door in a small sedan chair.
As soon as the white woman was thrown out, coupled with her crying, it soon attracted many people to watch.
The mother-in-law immediately slapped her mouth and twisted her chin to prevent her from crying.Tell her about her promiscuity and pregnancy, "The master is merciful and won't beat you. If you don't send you to see an official, you will be handed over by Amitabha. Hmph, why don't you go away quickly? Do you want to cry here and attract people?" Appreciate your flair? Get out of here! If you don’t leave, I’ll beat you to an officer!”
Tong Fang hugged his body in shame, and ran away scrambling.But where could she go? Before she caught a ray, she left Rongning Street, which was a busy road...
Through the crack of the door, with an iron gray face on his face, Jia Zheng watched fiercely as the naked woman with a protruding belly ran away and punched the door panel.
The women were startled when they heard the sound, and they leaned over to have a look. When they saw that it was Jia Zheng, they didn't know what to put on in embarrassment, but in their hearts they were the second master who made a joke and made a fool of himself.
Mrs. Wang's sedan chair was parked outside the Eryi Gate. After appreciating all this quietly, she asked someone to pick up the sedan chair and go to the old lady's place.Seeing this, Jia Zheng was not reconciled, and thought it was Mrs. Wang who did it, and chased after the sedan chair to seek Mrs. Wang's comment.
Mrs. Wang guessed that Jia Zheng would chase, and deliberately asked the bearers to speed up.After getting off the sedan chair, she hurried to Jia Mu.Because this matter must have been done by Jia's mother, if Jia Zheng came after him here, he would be making a fool of himself.
Sure enough, Jia Zheng, who was in a rage, accused and abused Mrs. Wang as soon as he entered the door, just like he had beaten Baoyu indiscriminately.
"At the beginning, you didn't agree with me, but now that she is about to give birth to a son, you conspired to frame her reputation, what kind of bastard? I don't know about her upright and innocent body?"
When Jia Mu suddenly saw Jia Zheng rush in and say this, she was a little confused.
Jia Lian and Jia She were sitting and drinking tea. After hearing this, both father and son raised their heads in one gesture and squinted at Jia Zheng.
Only then did Jia Zheng realize that there were so many people in the room, he stroked his beard in embarrassment, and whispered something in front of Jia's mother.From time to time, his eyes aimed at Mrs. Wang, obviously complaining.
Mother Jia was so angry that she picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground, "Don't blame her, it's all my idea. You are so innocent, I think you are really stupid!"
Jia Zheng still refused to accept it, so don't be fooled by Mrs. Wang's plot, "You have been fooled by her many times before, have you forgotten?"
"Shut up, you don't feel ashamed, I'm ashamed for you." After Jia Mu scolded, she asked someone to bring the Qi family's mother-in-law over and make her report to Jia Zheng face to face.
Jia Zhengchu didn't believe it, and said that she was an innocent daughter.The old lady was so angry that she sneered, "Second Master, Master Qi has been sleeping with him for a whole year, and we all stood guard outside the door, and we could hear clearly. In summer, the two of us would play wild games, How can it be wrong to send us to guard the outside?"
Jia Zheng's livid face was covered with a layer of red, and the wings of his nose were stretched to the extreme. The round nostrils could almost fit two red dates.Jia Zheng's red eyes stared fiercely at the front, and he didn't know what he was looking at, but it was very frightening.
Jia Zheng hated everyone present. He put on the green hat to give birth to someone else's child, was fooled around, and was even stupid enough to defend that bitch.
His face, the last remnant of his face, was completely ruined by this woman!
The scene was too embarrassing, Jia Zheng lowered his head, retreated tremblingly, and fled like flying.
Jia Mu's tone remained on, and she snorted twice, so she couldn't help scolding him for being confused.
Jia Shehe chuckled: "When people are old, their brains are not enough, so they are easy to be fooled by others. Fortunately, this kind of thing happened at home, and it is said here, it is here, and it cannot be spread outside. If this happened in the officialdom In fact, his brain is still so hard to use, and he made a similar scandal, but it really... embarrasses our family. Don’t you think so, son? "
In the end, Jia Amnesty deliberately picked up Jia Lian, with a look of pride on his face.
Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian, her expression calmed down in an instant, she smiled kindly and nodded at Jia She, "You are right, your second brother is not as good as you, but you are worse than you, and you can teach your son. This time our family has really responded to the country. In the name of the Duke's mansion, there is another Duke of the State, who is also a super-rank Duke of Zhen, even higher than the meritorious service of the old ancestors. My precious grandson, you are so proud!" Jia Mu said. , so I called Jia Lian to come quickly, and wanted to give him a pass.
Jia Lian squints at Jia Amnesty.
Jia She, who was watching the fun, hurriedly got up and said to Jia Mu: "Mother, don't treat him like a child, and go to your arms to have fun? Now he is the Duke of the country. Give this child some dignity, so that he can be called Stand up in front of outsiders!"
"Yes, yes, I listen to you." Mother Jia smiled happily from ear to ear, seeing the little maid picking up the debris on the ground, Mother Jia said unhappily, "It's a good happy event, but it was defeated by his disturbance just now." How much interest did you get. Second daughter-in-law, why didn't you stop him from ordering!"
Mrs. Wang was still standing there in a daze, and the title Grand Duke exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.What Duke?Jia Lian was named Duke of the State by the imperial court! ?Chao Yipin Town Duke?Even higher than Duke Rong!
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still dumbfounded, Jia's mother suddenly laughed, "I forgot, she didn't know about Lian'er's imperial conferment as Duke of the Town. She was shocked and dumbfounded!"
Mrs. Wang managed to regain her senses, twitching the corners of her mouth happily, and congratulated Jia Lian, Jia She and Jia Mu, saying that this was a well-established happy event, and the family should celebrate it.
Before Jia Lian could open her mouth, Jia's mother said, "You should understand the rules of the family, and you should be quieter at this time. It's okay to be clear. It's still the same as before. It's just a gathering of relatives and friends. Don't Too flamboyant."
Jia Amnesty pursed his lips and looked at Jia Lian with a smile, meaning: Look, the old lady understands these things this time, so I don't need to explain.
Jia Lian glanced back at him slightly, signaling him to continue to maintain his state and not neglect.Anyway, in the future, Jia She will take care of all the troubles of Jia Mu here, so that he will promise Jia She to tell him some anecdotes that happened in the court.
Jia Amnesty held her mouth shut, nodded in displeasure, and said to Jia Lian in a low voice, "Just don't renege on your debts, I will block everything from the old lady's side."
"Yeah." Jia Lian squinted her eyes, and her hum was really grandpa-like.
"Hehe, look at you, you are not yet twenty, and you really think of yourself as an old man?" Jia Amnesty said dissatisfied, "Stop showing such virtues to me in the future! You are the Duke of the state. How about my father, I am still your old man."
Jia Amnesty said this loudly, and was heard by Jia's mother.Jia Mu yelled at her, which made Jia She tremble.
"Be more serious with Jia Lian in the future, he is not the bastard who you scolded me back then." Mother Jia said angrily.
Jia Amnesty pursed his lips and agreed, feeling bitter in his heart.It turned out that he stopped the job out of anger!
Mrs. Wang went back with a face full of disappointment. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jia Zheng throwing a bottle at her in a targeted manner, cursing, blaming Mrs. Wang for walking too fast just now, which caused him to enter Jia Mu's flower hall and be so humiliated .
"It's the master who can't blame others if he can't catch up with him. Besides, I didn't have a hand in the matter of the room from the beginning to the end. Now why is it all the blame?"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang also contradicted him, Jia Zheng was even angrier, "I thought today would be a good day, but it was all disturbed by that dead woman."
Mrs. Wang listened to this with a wooden face, and sneered in her heart.
"This morning, the King of Beijing Jing came to me and said that he had a good job for me, and asked me to wait at home for the next few days." Originally, he wanted to wait until the matter was settled, but Jia Zheng felt that he could not be underestimated by his wife. Then blurted out.
Mrs. Wang slowly turned her head to look at Jia Zheng, and suddenly felt that his solemn face was ridiculous, so she laughed.
Shrill laughter suddenly came to mind in the empty room, making Jia Zheng startled.
"You don't know yet, do you?"
Jia Zheng was puzzled: "Know what?"
"Your nephew, Lian, has been conferred the title of Duke of Chao Yipin Town."
"What!" Jia Zheng lost his ability to think in an instant, his body was numb, and his eyes were fixed on Mrs. Wang, "Say it again."
"Duke Zhen, your nephew is the Duke of Zhen. Heh, you have to go back and continue to be a petty official. Don't forget to learn how to salute first. You will always use it when you meet in officialdom."
"Ms. Wang, you wicked woman, how dare you sarcastically mock me!"
"What kind of ability is it to work hard with women at home? If you have the ability, go out and have fun." Mrs. Wang sneered and gave him a white look. Anyway, she has had enough. Now that she has nothing, she is not afraid to fight. Why continue to endure incompetent gentlemen .
"You—see if I don't beat you to death!" After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he picked up his shoes and wanted to hit Mrs. Wang.It happened that Jin Chuan and others came in with tea, and they were so surprised that they overturned the tea bowl.
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and cried, "My lord, how can I only think that woman is an unclean body. If the master wants to blame, I just admit my mistake."
Jia Zheng was embarrassed, pointing at Mrs. Wang and scolding.
Mrs. Wang cried while holding her head.Jin Chuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he glanced at the person behind him, and then went to pester Mrs. Wang, and persuaded the second master not to vent his anger on that lady.
Jia Zheng was so angry that he wanted to explain that it wasn't like this just now, but was interrupted by Mrs. Wang's complaints and cries again and again.After a while, the old lady sent her mother-in-law and told him to come over.For no reason, Jia Zheng had a good meal in front of Jia's mother.Jia's mother repeatedly emphasized that he is not allowed to be rough on Mrs. Wang again.
"She's her duty. Anyway, she's the mother of the two children. You don't know how to give this little face. How confused you are! It's hard for your elder brother to say that if you go to an official with such a head, it will only embarrass our family. Shame. Go back and reflect on yourself. From now on, you will be at home with your daughter-in-law to recite the Buddha's name. Don't worry about the King of Beijing, you are not allowed to go!" Let the second son go out to drag his legs.Anyway, if the family wants money and power, it's not bad to raise a useless son.
Jia Zheng was so angry that he couldn't help it.In the family, the old lady is always the boss, and now the old lady is partial to the big house, and it is delicious for people to fart.What can he do, he can only suffer.But with Mrs. Wang, he was very unwilling to face it, so he often stayed out overnight, or even if he went home, he would avoid Mrs. Wang and hide with his aunt to sleep.
Jia's mother heard reports on Jia Zheng's situation several times, and she felt that he was useless, and that this guy was worse than his elder brother and an asshole.Perhaps there is a problem with the way I educate my children, otherwise why can't I teach both of them well?
After thinking about it, Jia's mother decided to let go as soon as she could, and try not to interfere in the affairs of her children and grandchildren, especially Jia Lian's affairs.She really didn't dare to control her anymore, she used to think that Jia Lian was unfilial and would always talk back and disobey her.Now he is afraid that Jia Lian will listen to him and become like his father and second uncle in the future.Therefore, Mother Jia dared not raise any objections to anything that was cheap.
By the end of summer, the repair of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, which the emperor had bestowed on Jia Lian, had been completed.A large family moved to a new and larger mansion, which was far away from the original Rongning Street, about two sticks of incense.The residents around the new mansion are basically the homes of important ministers in the court.For example, it is only one street away from Lijun Wang's Mansion, and it is not too far away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Mansion, Ni Mansion, and Jiang Mansion within three streets.In order to join in the fun, Xue Pan recently bought a new house to live in.
The celebration of Jia Lian's feudal title was held in the new house.The number of people who came was similar to that of Jia Lian's birthday last time, except that there were more female relatives, and a Ningguo Mansion was added.
The banquet and wine turned into a garden tour, and two tables were laid in the gazebo. The back garden was bounded by a stone arch bridge, separating the front and rear, male and female relatives.
Jia Liansu didn't like to listen to dramas, and because he was the protagonist recently, he was often given alcohol, and he was [-]% drunk.Later, taking the opportunity to escape, Jia Lian hid quietly in the gazebo.Not long after, he fell asleep leaning on the railing.Then, in a daze, I heard a female voice calling him.As soon as Jia Lian opened his eyes, he saw a maidservant with delicate features. After meeting his eyes, she quickly bowed and stepped back, and turned to the woman standing by the gazebo, shouting, "Grandma is awake."
Seeing the woman's face after turning around, Jia Lian woke up from the wine immediately.
It's Wang Xifeng.
Jia Lian immediately got up and left.
Wang Xifeng was a little agitated, and chased after him, telling him to stop, "If you don't stop, I will tell people that you molested me right now."
"Shout whatever you like, and see if it's Xinxin who has more people, or mine." Jia Lian sneered and continued to turn around and walk.
"You—" Wang Xifeng stomped her feet angrily, chasing after Jia Lian to complain about how much Jia Lian's actions had affected her. "Now that I'm a married woman, what I think about day and night is not how virtuous and virtuous I am, but my mind is full of unwillingness. I want to know why you suddenly changed your mind and refused to agree to that marriage."
"Did I take advantage of you back then?" Jia Lian asked her.
Wang Xifeng nodded and shook his head.
"It's just passing a glance when you want to see it. If you agree, you will come, and if you don't agree, you will leave. If there is no love, how can you change the situation. Now that the situation has changed, your entanglement, resentment and anger are all your business. What have I to do with it?" Jia Lian turned around and hurried into the path.Wang Xifeng wanted to chase but was dazed by the trails interspersed in the forest.
Afterwards, the women in the Zhen Guogong's mansion who were in charge of guarding the front and rear boundaries all received boards and deducted monthly payments.
Jia Lian also called Mrs. Cui over and asked her what the result was when she told Wang Xifeng.
Granny Cui shook her head and knelt down to Jia Lian, "After the certificate is sent up, the yamen won't accept it at all."
"You don't have enough evidence, and the accusation is so high
