The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng and his family thought they came back in a low-key way, leaving behind a lot of messes left unattended. Everyone knows the virtues of the servants of the Jia family. As soon as the servants went out and said that, almost everyone in the capital knew about it, and Jia Zheng's love affair suddenly became a well-known secret.

Throughout the dynasties, no matter how the country was established in the first place, or what kind of incidents occurred within the royal family, but the first word is filial piety!The past dynasties have always governed the country with filial piety. After all, people who change dynasties, even in the name of relieving the people from suspension and saving the people from fire and water, are essentially violating the word loyalty. Therefore, the word loyalty takes It is inevitable that it is a bit unreasonable to come out, but the word filial piety is different.

It has to be said that throughout China's thousands of years of history, etiquette is the most important reason why it has been able to control millions of square kilometers without government orders going to the countryside. Everyone recognizes the rules, and everyone automatically and consciously maintains this etiquette. By maintaining the etiquette, it is also possible to maintain the rule of the upper class, with low cost and good results.

The imperial court pays attention to governing the country with filial piety, which is why the descendants of 24 filial piety only think that it is inhumane, and those cases full of cannibalism are regarded as the standard.It is also murder, if one of them is a filial son, and even the reason for the murder is because of filial piety, then this filial son may even be found innocent.

If a person is sued by his parents to the yamen for disobedience and unfilial piety, disobedience is one of the most heinous crimes, and if this crime is finally carried out, this person's life will be ruined.The reason why Jia She in the original book has been aggrieved all his life is that Shi Shi took advantage of him and threatened him at every turn to sue him for disobedience, telling Jia She to accept his fate even though he was dissatisfied with Shi Shi's partiality, and finally gave up on himself.

Jia Zheng is now mourning in Jinling in the name of keeping filial piety for Jia Daishan. As a result, he hangs out with the outside family during the filial piety period and has a child. Of course, this child has a miscarriage in the end. However, for Jia Zheng, it has become an indelible stain.

Jia Zheng's family were idiots. Given the power of the Jia family in Jinling, Xianrui was not a good person. Jia Zheng could remember to ask his wives and concubines to drink Bizi soup, but didn't he remember to ask Xianrui to drink it?In the end, the miscarriage of pregnancy was exposed, so it can be seen that Xianrui had a scheming heart.

If Jia Zheng is really a smart person, he should insist that there is nothing out of courtesy with that Xianrui. , It's just that the little days came suddenly, or I found another reason.Be more ruthless, and directly push the matter to Xianrui. Anyway, Xianrui had a miscarriage, and there is no evidence to prove it. The child in her stomach may belong to someone else!

As a result, the idiots finally got together, and Jia Zheng fled because of poverty. Everyone thought that Jia Zheng had a guilty conscience. Xiao Wang should find a place to resettle Xianrui. It would be a good idea to find a suitable place to ask her to become a monk, or even bring her back directly. After the filial piety period is over, it would be a good idea to directly place wine and pass Minglu. In the end, she made the worst move , sold people into the brothel, what is the brothel, as long as Xianrui has a heart, the rumors will spread all over the country in a short time, not to mention there is someone with a heart behind Xianrui!

Jia Zheng and his group came back by boat again, and they haven't come back yet, and those who are interested have already spread the rumors to the capital.

Rumors and rumours, after changing hands a few times, they will be completely changed immediately, but the fact is the same, that is Jia Zheng's reputation, it can be regarded as rotten to the muddy pond.

Jia Amnesty didn't know it at the beginning, but now he lives a regular life, just like going to work in the later generations. He talks to Mrs. Zhang in the morning, exchanges feelings with the child in her belly, and then rides out of the city on horseback or in a carriage to Zhuangzi. Toss him those things.

Jia Amnesty doesn't want to buy solar energy now, the cost is too high and it's out of date. Therefore, he has started biogas now. Using this, he may be able to enjoy a modern life hundreds of years in advance.

As a result, Jia She was instructing people to build a biogas digester that day, and Ma Ping, the current chief steward of the Ningguo Mansion, ran over on a fast horse almost out of breath: "Master She, my grandpa and master Please go to Ningguo Mansion, there is something important to discuss!"

The former steward of Ningguo Mansion was Lai Sheng, who was Lai Da's younger brother, but Lai Da was dealt with by Jia Daishan back then, Lai Da was gone, Ningguo Mansion didn't bother to look at Shi's face, Lai Sheng was nothing in Ningguo Mansion before Dedicated to his duties, he did not know how much oil and water he secretly fished in the middle, and also reported the situation of Ningguo Mansion to Shi Shi. Jia Daihua didn't care about these in the past, but later he learned what Lai's family did behind Jia Daishan's back Afterwards, I went back immediately and had a seizure with Lai Sheng. I copied Lai Sheng's house and found that many good things in Ningguo Mansion that were damaged on the books were stored in Lai Sheng's house. His family had already bought a large house and land outside, and he was like a master at home. Mrs.

Jia Daihua was straightforward, he beat Lai Sheng's family up, then sold them to the quarry, and then promoted Ma Ping, his own soldier when he was out fighting, to be the chief housekeeper.

Ma Ping and the others have always been loyal to the Ningguo Mansion. Ma Ping's father was Jia Yan's personal soldier back then, and the wife he married was also a capable servant girl by the old Mrs. Ningguo's wife. But later, Jia Daihua's wife gave birth to Jia Jing. Afterwards, his health didn’t get better, and he stayed in bed for a long time. At that time, Jia Fu’s health was not good, and Jia Jing didn’t marry a wife. Therefore, it was Shi who helped manage the Ningguo Mansion, that is, at that time, Shi Shi stuffed Lai Sheng over, and the old people in Ningguo Mansion were naturally suppressed. People like Ma Ping and Jiao Da naturally won't get any benefits.

Later, Jia Daihua quickly killed Lai Sheng and his lineage, and promoted Ma Ping and the old soldiers who used to be soldiers. They all wanted to serve the Ningguo Mansion with all their hearts. , Therefore, Ningguo Mansion has also been quieter in recent years, and there are many messes, but there are not many things that deceive the upper and lower.

When Jia She saw that it was Ma Ping who came, he immediately knew that something serious had happened, so he got up and ordered the servants of Zhuangzi to continue to build the biogas digester according to his instructions, and then lay the corresponding pipelines. What the heck, I changed my clothes by myself, and then said: "Steward Ma, let's go! What happened, Brother Jing, can't make the decision? Why do you want me to go back!"

Ma Ping showed some indignation on his face, and then said: "It's about the West Mansion. The master of the West Mansion came back from Jinling, but he caused a disaster in Jinling. The rumors spread to the capital. The master heard that Having said that, I don't know how to deal with it for a while, so I want to discuss it with Mr. She!"

Jia She usually never pays attention to these things, and he doesn't go to court. He usually runs between two o'clock and one line outside the city, and occasionally goes to Zhang's house. He has been busy with the biogas business recently, and he hasn't seen anything. As an outsider, he also has a lot of demands on his servants, one of which is that they are not allowed to gossip and spread gossip. Therefore, he didn't hear any rumors, so he couldn't help being stunned for a while. It wasn't that he looked down on Jia Zheng. A person like Jia Zheng is not a person who has accomplished great things. Such a person can cause any catastrophe. No matter how big it is, it is nothing more than a foolish way to get involved in the matter of seizing the heir. !

Therefore, Jia Amnesty asked: "What a disaster? Didn't Jia Zheng go to Jinling to observe his filial piety? He may not stay at home honestly. What disaster can happen!"

When Ma Ping heard what Jia She said, the muscles on his face twisted a bit, and he muttered: "If he stayed at home honestly, there would be no such disaster!" As he spoke, he still whispered what he knew I told Jia She about the situation, and Jia She's eyes widened immediately, not knowing what to say.

Jia Amnesty always thought that Jia Zheng was a man of integrity, but in the end he looked up to Jia Zheng. This man is stricter than others and more lenient than himself!For the sake of this incident, it is already known that someone must be cheating Jia Zheng behind the scenes.

It's just that Jia Amnesty couldn't figure it out, who would spend so much effort and cost so much just to cheat Jia Zheng?You know, Jia Zheng took refuge in the deceased Prince Yizhong at the beginning, and because of this incident, Jia Daishan, who could have lived for a while, was pissed to death. Jia Zheng has almost seen the end in his life. It was nothing more than the end of a lifetime of drunkenness, dreaming and death with an empty title and relying on the family business of the Rongguo Mansion.

How much value can such a person be used for? If you really want to sell it by the pound, Jia Zheng is not as good as the skinny horse that was given to him. You must know that a high-quality Yangzhou skinny horse is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's normal, the pistil was given to Jia Zheng, and after such a hand, it is still involved in this kind of thing. I'm afraid it was originally jadeite, but now it can only be regarded as cabbage, or cabbage that has been beaten by pigs.

What's more, if there is no one to guide, who in the capital will spread the rumors on the Jiangnan side, and the manpower and material resources used here are also conceivable.

That is to say, in order to accuse Jia Zheng of such a crime that could easily become unproved, the other party invested at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, not even including some favors owed here.

This is difficult for Jia Amnesty to understand. After all, investment and gain are not directly proportional. Jia Zheng will be like that all his life. The skinny horse has miscarriage. Jia Zheng can completely deny it, except that his reputation is worse. , there is nothing else. Is it worth it to expend such a lot of effort to pit Jia Zheng, who is almost useless?

Jia Amnesty was very puzzled, but he still followed Ma Ping to Ningguo Mansion. In Ningguo Mansion, apart from Jia Daihua, Jia Jing, and Shi Shi, there was also the disgraced Jia Zheng and the dumb-faced Xiao Wang. Also here.

Jia Amnesty really didn't know that Jia Zheng had come back before. Seeing Jia Zheng's appearance now, he couldn't help being a little stunned, but he didn't say much. After looking for the rules and meeting the ceremony, Jia Daihua said impatiently: "Why are you still paying attention to those etiquettes at this moment, boy forgiveness, you already know about this, the question now is, what should we do, let's discuss it, so we can come up with an idea!"

Shi's face was dark, and the look in Jia Zheng's eyes was no longer as kind as before, but it was the same as when he looked at Jia She in the past, with a kind of superior impatience. Jia She suspected that if Jia Zheng said something wrong, Shi's You can hit Jia Zheng on the head with a walking stick.

Jia Zheng sat there in a state of dismay, and when things got to this point, Jia Zheng knew no matter how hard-spoken he was, no matter how confused he was, there was probably someone plotting behind this matter, and that Xianrui who had confused him was not a good person at all. Hearing what Jia Daihua said, he gritted his teeth dully, and then said viciously: "That bitch, that bitch must be disposed of!"

Hearing this, Jia Daihua wished he could slap Jia Zheng on the face. He was a little envious of Jia Daishan, who died early. Son, it's no wonder that Jia Daishan's life was shortened.

Jia Daihua barely suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "You also know that is a bitch, why didn't you think of disposing of him when you left! You took a boat and went all the way to the capital. Months have passed, after such a long time, if you want to find someone again, who knows who took him away!"

Jia Zheng immediately looked at Xiao Wang, and shouted, "It's all this stupid woman. If she hadn't come to the door and sold her, how could there be so many things!"

Xiao Wang didn't want to bear it anymore, she screamed directly: "Jia Cunzhou, you still have to be shameless, over the years, how many concubines and aunts have you had by your side, when did I stop you? If you really can’t control the meat, those aunts and concubines at home, you can’t find anyone, did I say no? You can do it, the family can’t satisfy you, you go directly to the outside!”

When Xiao Wang said this, her eyes became a little strange. She stared at Jia Zheng fiercely and said, "Jia Cunzhou, I have been married to your Jia family for so many years. I am sorry for my daughter, but I have never been sorry. Stop you! As a result, you, I don’t know where to find a female cousin who can do everything, and just call her wife, where will you put me!”

Jia Zheng's face was flushed red by what Xiao Wang said, and his whole body trembled a little. He shook his hand, pointed at Xiao Wang, and his lips trembled: "Ignorant woman, ignorant woman!"

Xiao Wang looked at Jia Zheng contemptuously, and sneered. Now that she had seen through Jia Zheng, she sat down on the chair without saying a word.

Jia Daihua was so angry that Jia Zheng and his wife had made a fuss that he was almost speechless. He threw a teacup from Dingyao on the table to the ground, and the fragments of the tea splashed everywhere. Jia Daihua said harshly: "Arguing, why don't you stop arguing! Boy Zheng, let's talk about your wife's affairs separately. If any old lady hears about what you have done, she can't help it! Besides, you are one by one. Lord, why do I have no opinion at all, you just believe what others say, huh? When someone says she is the daughter of a relative and entrusts her to your care, you really believe it? You idiot !"

Seeing Jia Daihua's agitated expression, with blood surging on his face, Jia Jing was taken aback, and hurried forward to comfort Jia Daihua: "Father calm down for now, we can talk about other things later, how should we solve this matter?" question!"

At the same time, Shi Shi sneered: "Things have come to this point, no matter what the price is, we must find that bitch and tell her to shut up!"

Jia Jing heard that Shi Shi said it so easily, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly, and then said: "Since Auntie said so, then let Auntie handle this matter!"

Shi Shi suddenly didn't know what to say. She had her confidantes stay in Jinling back then, but Jia Daishan didn't trust Shi Shi anymore, and she also knew that Shi Shi even asked her confidantes to sell the family's sacrificial land. Therefore, whether it is the capital or Jinling, most of Shi's confidantes have been dealt with by Jia Daishan. Shi's situation in the capital is okay now, and he has trained a group of people, but in Jinling, it is beyond his reach.

Therefore, Shi said a little embarrassingly: "I am a woman, how can I do these things, I still have to trouble uncle!"

Jia Daihua snorted coldly, but did not speak. Shi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly returned to his original expression. He sat there with a calm expression, and looked at Jia Daihua and looked at Jia. She asked, "Boy She, you already know about the matter, what do you think?"

Jia She said indifferently: "Other matters, my nephew believes that Uncle and Brother Jing can solve the problem. The question now is, who will pay such a high price to deal with cousin Zheng? If they don't know, then this time is just a joke. Let’s start, if something like this happens in the future, is it possible that we have to follow the political cousin to clean up the mess every day?”

Jia Jing was startled when he heard what Jia She said. He hadn't thought about it that much before, even if they wanted to play some tricks like fairy dance, but Jia Zheng bought a house and gave the woman some Other than clothing and jewelry, they didn't take away any belongings. However, they gave away Jia Zheng, a woman who had obviously been specially trained, without spending a penny.

Thinking of this, Jia Jing frowned immediately, and asked directly: "Jia Zheng, just tell me, did you offend anyone in the past two years in Jinling, or did you offend anyone before that?" ?”

Hearing Jia Jing's stern words, Jia Zheng felt very wronged, and quickly said: "Brother Jing, I have been in Jinling for the past two years to discuss poetry with some people. Who can I offend!"

"What about before that?" Jia Jing listened to the same thing. Jia Zheng went back to keep his filial piety. He is not arrogant and domineering. At most he is a bit prudish and pedantic. A meal, no matter how serious it is, just put a sack on his back and beat him up, who would come up with such a method, so, I'm afraid it's the same thing as before.

Jia Amnesty also frowned, and suddenly asked: "Could it be that it's the accident at Iron Net Mountain back then? However, Uncle Tang used his own merits to avenge your crime!"

Jia Zheng suddenly trembled, and said in a low voice with some uncertainty: "No, probably not?"

Seeing Jia Zheng like this, Jia Jing felt impatient now, "Jia Zheng, what's going on? Our family is not like yours. Everyone has serious business to do. Yes, today, because of your affairs, everyone left all the things in their hands to worry about you, but it turned out that you were lucky, and you were still hiding there, and you have the ability to solve the matter yourself!"

Jia Zheng finally talked about the matter hesitantly. It turned out that when he knew that Prince Yizhong had failed, he panicked and sold all the things he knew about Prince Yizhong, and involved a lot of things. The person who confessed directly, it can be regarded as his frankness and leniency.

When Jia Jing heard what Jia Zheng said, he didn't know what to say. You know, when Jia Zheng explained the matter, the matter was almost coming to an end. The people who wanted to get away were also mixed in, and they poured a bucket of sewage on the body of the deceased Prince Yizhong. As a result, the saint was determined to stop at that time. Although many people had to behave with their tails between their legs, they finally It saved his life.

However, because Jia Zheng sold all his original teammates, and Jia Daishan made a plea for guilt, except for demotion, that's nothing. Although Jia Zheng's demotion was more severe, compared to others Said, I don't know where the strength is.Not to mention others, the current king of Yizhong County, and the second son of the former Donggong who was named King of Anping County all hated Jia Zheng to the bone.

He deliberately set up a trap, and Jia Zheng is not really a person who can't get in. On the contrary, there are loopholes all over his body. He just laid a bait, and he couldn't wait to take the bait. In the end, Jia Jing was a little helpless. Jia Zheng had offended too many people in the incident before. You have a bit of backbone. If you were dragged to the yamen, above the lobby, and under the three trees, and confessed the matter, then forget it, and the result has not reached this level yet. , in order to protect themselves, they sold everything that could be sold. I am afraid that Jia Zheng, who had little to do with the matter, would also be involved in it.

Jia Jing let out a long sigh, and finally said a little weakly: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to talk about if we go after someone who can't be offended, our old Jia family will become a joke! For the next time, my father and I will help you clean up from head to toe, but if there is a next time, then, as the patriarch, I am not afraid that others will say that I am heartless and unjust, so let’s separate the two clans from now on!” said At this point, Jia Jing frowned and shouted sharply.
