old lady in red

Jia Jing didn't know why his aunt summoned him.

But I know that my aunt usually doesn't aim at nothing.

He came very quickly.

Shi Mei asked Nanny Lai to guard the door, and then asked: "Jing'er, do you know that many Taoist priests have entered the palace these days?"

Jia Jing nodded: "There are indeed rumors, but my nephew hasn't figured out the root cause yet, does aunt know?"

Shi Mei said: "What is the greatest characteristic of a Taoist priest?"

"characteristic?"

Jia Jing suddenly thought of Taoist Zhang, and he was instantly blessed: "Pillion?"

Shi Mei gave Jia Jing a thumbs up: "Do you think Taoist priests entered the palace for alchemy?"

Jia Jing was very surprised: "Do you doubt the sage's alchemy? The emperor or today?"

Shi Mei said: "If it's the Supreme Emperor, don't announce the summons sooner or later, but wait until after the Zen seat to announce the summons?

Although the emperor is in charge, he is not as handy as before, is he? "

Jia Jing said: "You doubt the new emperor?"

Shi Mei nodded: "The emperor lives in Tangquan in winter and hides in Jingshan in summer, so he has little control over the palace.

In the past few years, the number of Taoists in Kyoto has been increasing, but we didn't pay attention.

Jinger, tell me, who is the person behind the scenes that Daoist Zhang dare not even reveal his name? "

Jia Jing stared: "Do you suspect it is the new emperor?"

Shi Mei said: "At the beginning I doubted King Zhongshun.

However, after the death of King Zhongshun, I tried it out, but Zhang Daoye still refused to reveal it.

What does this mean?

It shows that the mastermind behind the scenes is still in place.

Now there are three most terrifying people, the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and the First Prince.

Does the eldest prince dare to call the Taoist priest into the palace?

If it was the emperor, he would have called for it long ago, so why wait until today? "

Jia Jing gritted his teeth: "At the beginning, I and the fourth prince did not interfere with each other, why did he murder me?"

Shi Mei said: "It's not ruled out that Daoist Zhang is playing tricks on purpose, but Daoist Zhang often wandered around the palace back then, and indeed he had contacts with many princes.

I suspect that Daoist Zhang did not dare to say his name. It is not because someone intentionally harmed you, but because he took you as a victim and asked you to pay for expensive herbal medicines.

Then, let you test the medicine for him?

If the effect is not good, he will not be damaged. If the effect is good, he will take advantage of it again? "

Jia Jing said: "Auntie is saying that the fourth prince tricked me into being his medicine man?"

Shi Mei shook her head: "I'm not sure either.

Sure enough, His Majesty is making alchemy. We can no longer press Zhang Daoye, which annoys His Majesty. The king ordered the minister to die, and the minister had nowhere to escape. "

The biggest thing in the world is the land of the king.

Unless you escaped to sea and went to the island to be a savage.

Or go to the deep mountains and old forests to be a savage.

Eat well, wear well, sleep well.

What's the fun in such a life?

Jia Jing said for a while: "If you don't force me to ask, you can secretly send someone to monitor and see who has contacts with him."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "I have been asking Jin Da to pay attention to him secretly, but I have not gained anything for many years.

He has contacts with many people.

Not only the prince's mansion, but also the mansion of the princes of the four counties, the mansion of the eight princes, nobles and nobles, there is no one who does not associate with him.

Everyone regards him as a living fairy.

Everyone begged him for posting a name post for a newborn, requieming a soul for a child, and getting acupuncture at Anzhai.

I once thought about putting people around him, but it didn't work.

He usually only recruits little Taoist boys who are three or five years old, and he does not accept Taoist boys who are over ten years old.

Therefore, no one can spy on him closely.

In this way, it is more and more certain that he must be tricky.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so careful, the needle won't pierce through, and the water won't get in.

I guessed before that he seduced you to take the elixir because he was entrusted by others to take advantage of your uncle's death, take the opportunity to destroy the capable talents of the two houses, consume our money, and then bring down our two houses.

Now it seems that this is not the case, and our two governments are not worth his troubles. "

Jia Jing also had no idea: "What exactly does Auntie think they want to do?

It's been 20 years and they haven't done it yet? "

Shi Mei said: "Who said it didn't work? Is the situation the same as it was 20 years ago?"

Jia Jing was startled, and pointed to the sky: "You mean he killed that one?"

Jia Jing merged in an instant and got through Ren Du: No wonder the Supreme Emperor took the Zen position for no reason, and he must have been injured so that his hands and feet couldn't work.

Shi Mei shook her head: "I'm not sure, I hope I'm wrong, otherwise something serious will happen."

Some people said that Yongzheng died of exhaustion, while others said that he died by taking pills and exploding his body in order to live forever.

Shi Mei said: "You should keep an eye on Changchun Taoist Temple. Daoist Zhang should let Jin Shan watch over here. He sent people to open a shop in front of the Taoist temple to sell dog skin plaster. It has been more than ten years, but it is not easy to show his whereabouts."

Shi Mei still had hidden words that she didn't dare to say, even though Emperor Jiahe was old.

However, he suddenly suffered a stroke, is it the sequelae of taking the elixir?

The only time Shimei got close to Emperor Jiahe was in Baijia Village.

Shi Mei didn't dare to look at him at all, and neither did her spiritual sense.

Therefore, he did not see Emperor Jiahe's face clearly.

Furthermore, Shi Mei only depends on luck.

Slow-moving erysipelas can only be confirmed after taking the pulse.

If someone offered the elixir to the emperor, causing the emperor to have a stroke and become paralyzed, it would be too cruel.

Shi Mei told Jia Jing solemnly: "Watch Zhen'er closely, don't let him get involved."

Now that Jia Zhen has followed Jia Amnesty to the fifth grade, she is very upset that he was not called to reward and suppress bandits.

I have always been jealous of Bai Jintang, saying that he is just a nephew, but he is better than him.

I don't even think about it, how much Bai Jintang suffered when he was a 12-year-old mixed army, and later served as the Secretary of the General Administration.

Fortunately, Bai Jintang laughed at Jia Zhen's life-saving grace.

What happens if you leave it on someone else?

Just refer to Sun Shaozu's fate.

The title is abolished, and the person is also abolished.

Of the two houses, the most unreliable one is Jia Zhen.

Shi Mei once again ordered Jin Da: "Pay attention to the whereabouts of Uncle Zhen, and if he has contacts with any palace or Taoists, report to me immediately."

Shi Mei really wasn't worrying for nothing.

Jia Zhen went home to look for his father, and asked for the right to manage the herbal medicine shop jointly run by the two governments.

The herbal medicine shop was a job that the first generation of father-in-law found for the army doctor.

They are sin slaves.

The wife pays for it, and they run it.

Jia Jing got Shi Mei's suggestion, and immediately became vigilant: "What do you want this shop for?"

But Jia Zhen said: "Someone asked me to invest in a stock, and I have a business. I can make a profit without losing money."

Jia Jing agreed to consider it, and found someone to investigate Jia Zhen, who was Leng Zixing.

Leng Zixing has a lot of background and has contacts with many families, most importantly, with the Wang family.

He is the son-in-law of Mrs. Bowling's housekeeper.

Leng Zixing also has business dealings with various palaces.

Open a pawn shop and make medicinal materials?

Jia Jing refused!

Shi Mei laughed when she heard Leng Zixing.

This person is really destined to be with the Wang family.

Here, Jia Wang's family fell, so he flattered Shi Wang's.

Shi Mei can now be sure that Wang Ziteng must have shares in Leng Zixing's pawnshop.

Is the Wang family's money still low?

Want to make this money?

Or, is this also the news channel of the Wang family?

Shi Mei reminded Jia Jing: "Pay attention to Jia Qiang, be careful not to be wooed by Zhen Er's threats."

Jia Jing said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will watch it myself."

Jia Jing said again: "Zhen'er said that Feng Ziying also got involved in this matter, do you see?"

Shi Mei really had a toothache, and immediately ordered Jin Da: "Send a letter to your elders, saying that I am not feeling well."

Jia She was shocked by the letter.

My mother used to be healthy, but she suddenly felt unwell, which might be a serious illness.

As a result, he went home and saw that his mother was fine.

Shi Mei said that the current situation in Kyoto is strange: Taoist priests often spread to the court.

Then it was said that Leng Zixing wooed Jia Zhen and Feng Ziying to do the pill business.

Shi Mei said: "Go and ask, if Feng Tang wants it, our family will immediately find a reason to divorce.

If it was Feng Ziying's idea to let him discipline him well, it would not be so miserable. "

Jia Amnesty went out for a trip and came back to tell Shi Mei the news: "We can't interfere with this matter.

Zhang Daoye is refining medicine every day, and Changchun Temple is also refining medicine.

His Majesty asked the House of Internal Affairs to purchase pills for the thirteen princes, fourteen princes, and nine princes to treat illnesses.

The emperor didn't know if he ate or not.

However, the emperor spread the news through the House of Internal Affairs that whoever refined the elixir and cured several princes would be granted the title of national teacher of the Great Moon Dynasty and take charge of Taoism in the world. "

The national teacher in charge of Taoism in the world?

In history, only Qiu Chuji, the real head teacher of Quanzhen, has received such honor.

Qiu Chuji has a good literary talent and is proficient in health-preserving medicine.

Qiu Chuji's Taoist temple is called Changchun Palace.

Is the Changchun Temple outside the West Bianmen the Changchun Palace?

It's no wonder that Changchun Temple can refine talisman pills.

It turned out that he had won the mantle of Quanzhen Sect Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji was indeed proficient in pharmacology.

Although Emperor Chunzheng was pulling a few princes.

However, Shi Mei still suspects that he has ulterior motives.

Let's hope she doesn't draft to collect virgin geranium water.

Thinking of this, Shi Mei felt disgusted.

Shi Mei looked at Jia She: "Ms. Zhang has repeatedly resisted, not wanting to find an honorable son-in-law, but you have chosen Feng Ziying.

Could it be for the sake of marriage and better control of the Holy Army?Now that the child is involved in the affairs of the palace, what should I do? "

Jia She's face flushed: "That kid does have merit, this time because he was bewitched by Qi Jun, nephew of the Chief of Internal Affairs, and wanted to recruit Taoist priests to refine alchemy and compete for the title of national teacher."

Shi Mei said: "Feng Ziying wants to compete for the title of national teacher?

Really ignorant. "

Jia Amnesty was very depressed: "Feng Tang has already slapped him, and Feng Ziying will be detained.

He is in charge of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the Xiaoqi Battalion will conduct physical training for hiking next, so there should be no time to meddle in these. "

Shi Mei said: "This child's heart is higher than the sky, and he is too courageous, I'm afraid he can control it for a while, but not for the rest of his life.

I don't know the severity of this, and I am really worried about Xichun's future. "

Jia She said: "No, at least my son can watch him for 20 years."

Shi Mei snorted: "The reason why you recruited a son-in-law is to teach someone else's son? How much do you care about Cong'er's affairs?"

Jia She hurriedly said, "Cong'er did a great job."

Speaking of Jia Cong, Shi Mei remembered that Ye Yun was about to give birth.

Ye Yun's delivery date is in April.

Shi Mei waved Jia She back: "Anyway, you can't get involved in the matter of pills. If someone else takes the medicine and has an accident, you can still go to the yamen to sue.

No matter who has an accident in the palace, if they stick to it, they will die.

I still say that, you bear the lives of hundreds of people on your shoulders. "

Then, Shi Mei recruited Jia Min to talk: "Jun'er's delivery date is here, and her natal brother hasn't married yet.

You can do a birth gift for her.

There is only one word difference between aunt and mother. "

Jia Min was very happy: "What can I say?"

Jia Min went back to happily prepare, and even pulled Yuxiu to prepare together.

Then, on the sixth day of April, Ye Yun received two birth gifts, dragging her two aunts and aunts, crying and laughing happily.

The birth gift was delivered on time.

On the eighth day of April, Ye Yun launched it early in the morning.

In the middle of the night and at the beginning of the Yin hour, a son was born.

Shimei, Zhang's family, Jia Minyuxiu were all guarding outside.

The child cries loudly.

The midwife announces good news: mother and child are safe.

Shi Mei hurriedly went in to check on Ye Yun's body. The condition was stable, but she was very tired.

Shi Mei used spiritual power to restore her physical strength, and then used a cleansing talisman and a water diversion talisman.

Also give Ye Yun ten cleansing charms and ten water diversion charms.

Ye Yun didn't practice, but fortunately, the talismans and seals of Changchun Temple can be used by ordinary people.

Shi Mei felt Ye Yun's pulse, but there was no sign of cultivation.

Shi Mei is going to ask Jia Cong to teach his daughter-in-law to practice after Ye Yun recovers.

The children are all born, and they are regarded as their own family.

Shimei saw that Shui Ling was there the last time, Jia Lian taught his wife a long time ago.

Jia Amnesty named his second grandson Jia Wei.

Jia Cong hugged his son at a loss.

Shi Mei patted him: "I've become a father, so be more prudent in the future."

After three baptisms, Feng Tang's wife came.

Discuss the appointment with Shimei and Zhang.

After the appointment, the woman began to make a dowry.

Yingchun Xichun is 17 years old, and next year will be [-] years old.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Shi Mei.

She was not interested in the Feng family at first.

The mother-in-law agreed, and she had no objection.

However, Shi Mei was very hesitant towards Feng Tang's wife.

Once hired, the marriage cannot be changed.

Mrs. Feng Tang looked at Shi Mei's hesitation.

Then he stood up and apologized to Shi Mei: "Speaking of which, it's because we didn't discipline him strictly, this child is a bit out of character.

This time his father taught him a lesson, he admitted his mistake and promised not to do it again.

This time he has learned a lesson, and he will definitely improve. "

Shi Mei said: "Your family background, the child's talents are really good, young and promising, he was in charge of the Xiaoqi camp at the age of 20, this is a matter of love...

Madam also knows that our family is very afraid of being attached to the palace.

Especially since this kid has an army in his hand, once someone encourages him, I'm really worried.

The children have never suffered and do not know the seriousness. "

Mrs. Feng Tang who said this was also frightened.

Didn't Jia Daishan of the Jia Mansion get into bad luck because of his participation in the joint venture?

Although Shi Mei declined, she did not hesitate.This is an attitude of not wanting to break the contract, and it is to make the Feng family handle Feng Ziying's impulsive personality carefully.

At the beginning of May, Shi Mei received the news that Feng Ziying had joined the General Administration Department as governor.

The Secretary of General Administration is a secret service agency. It has no military power in its hands and will be dispatched out of Beijing from time to time.

This kind of person is watching the rise and fall of others.

This position is very good. After working for three years, no matter how escaping you are, you will become more stable after seeing a lot of life and death.

On the ninth day of May, Jiawei's full moon ceremony.

The Rong Mansion is only a small-scale treat, and most of the people who come are relatives.

Feng Tang and his wife brought their son Feng Ziying to visit.

Mrs. Feng Tang once again made a request to Shimei and Zhang, hoping to set a date for the appointment.

This time, Shi Mei agreed.

Then, Yingchun's husband's family also came to discuss the date of next appointment.

Shi Mei knew at a glance that they had heard the news from the Feng family.

However, Zhao Yun will only be in the second half of this year, so why worry?

After three years of taking the test and getting married again, he will only be 21, which is too early.

However, Mrs. Zhao also had her say.

Zhao Yun has a sister who is only two years younger than Zhao Yun and is 15 years old this year.

The man urged to get engaged and wanted to get married next year.

If the elder brother is not married, the younger sister has to wait.

This is also a reason.

Getting married is Shi Mei's rule, not other people's rule.

Most of the girls in this era were engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and married at Jiji.

Thinking about it this way, I had no choice but to agree.

The Feng family invited his uncle to be a matchmaker, and the other matchmaker was Yanhou.

The Zhao family invited Jia Min, his wife and uncle.

Who is uncle?

Ye Zheng's father-in-law.

It's really a relative who goes around in circles.

The dates chosen by the two families: the eighth day of August, the sixteenth day of August, the tenth day of October, and the 28th day of October.

After the appointment, there must be an engagement date.

It is too late, which also affects the woman's dowry.

After discussing with the Zhang family, Shi Mei decided on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, and the Zhao family hired her.

On August [-]th, the Feng family was hired.

Otherwise, in October, all the wild geese will fly south.

The Rong Mansion was still bustling with drinking and drinking the day before.

The next day, Jia Jing beat Jia Zhen to death.

Shi Mei looked at Yang Shi and Yu Shi crying and her eyes were red, but she didn't know why Jia Zhen was beaten.

Shi Mei didn't defend herself.

Jia Zhen must have touched the taboo of the two governments.

Shi Mei can separate from Jia Jing.

Jia Jing held Jia Zhen, really helpless!

Jia Zhen's leg was really broken.

Although, Jia Jing claimed that Jia Zhen fell while riding a horse.However, both Rongning and Ningfu knew that it was interrupted by Jia Jingsheng.

Whether Jia Amnesty was Jia Zhen's superior or uncle, he had to come to the house to ask for clarification.

What did Jia Zhen do that made everyone angry?

This kid went to practice alchemy with Zhang Daoye.

Not only did people go, but they also forced Jia Qiang to open the warehouse, and took three carts of medicinal materials from the warehouse to Qingxu Temple.

When Jia Jing learned that Jia Zhen was involved in alchemy again, he lost his temper.

However, Jia Zhen also talked back to Jia Jing, saying that his father is as timid as a mouse, and he is destined to be a mighty (fake) general for the rest of his life.

It is said that his father is not as far-sighted as the ancestor of Rongfu, a woman.

Only then did Jia Jing get more and more angry, and missed, and Jia Zhen broke her leg.

Shi Mei guessed that Jia Jing broke Jia Zhen's leg on purpose.

Shi Mei looked at Jia Jing: "He is indeed wrong about this matter, but there are two ways to solve this matter. The concept of Qingxu has always been supported by our two governments, and the three carts of medicinal materials support him in fighting medicine. .

At most, he secretly took away the elixir he made and destroyed it.

Second, take back the medicinal materials and break up with Zhang Daoye face to face.

Why break your legs and ruin your future? "

Jia Jing waved his hand: "Auntie doesn't know, what's going on here...I wanted to kill him a long time ago."

As soon as these words came out, Jia She, the Zhang family, the Yang family, and the Yu family all looked ashamed and disgusted.

After contacting each other back and forth, Shi Mei felt something was wrong.

Good guy, the whole family is hiding it from her.

What did Jia Zhen do that made everyone angry?

In fact, these things are not hidden from her by Mrs. Zhang.In fact, Shi Mei is over 60 now.

For outsiders at this age, they are all grandchildren.

Why bother with these shitty things.

What about the long face?

Shi Mei looked at each of them making such a godlike look.

He slapped the table: "Either say it or leave.

I don't want to see your faces. "

Jia Jing, Jia She, and Jia Zheng looked at each other and smiled wryly. The three of them said that they were going out to deal with matters, and they left the Yang family, Zhang family, Yu family, and Xu family.

Yang smiled wryly: "Brother Rong, daughter-in-law, go down first to see if Rong'er is back, and let him guard your father-in-law.

Don't let your father-in-law fight again, it will kill you if you fight again. "

Mrs. Xu followed, just to avoid that incomprehensible father-in-law.

However, the grandma spoke, so she had no choice but to go back.

Why didn't Mrs. Yang let Mrs. Yu go back to serve her?

Because, before Jia Jing beat Jia Zhen, Yu Shi had already beaten Jia Zhen, but only scratched her face and twisted her arm.

Because this matter is too embarrassing, Yang is not ashamed to speak out.

Now that the commotion is getting worse, Jia Jing is so angry.

Yu Shi lowered his head in a daze.

Shi Mei didn't ask any further questions, as Mrs Yu is not usually a talkative person.

Yang accompanied Shi Mei: "It's not that we are hiding it, it's really Zhen'er's evil..."

Yang really couldn't say it.

She looked at Mrs. Yu and said, "Daughter-in-law, follow Auntie to wash and wash. Look at your hair is messed up. Zhizhi will come after school later. Don't scare Zhizhi."

Mrs. Zhang knew some inside information, and didn't want to listen any more, so she helped Mrs. Yu: "Look at Zhizhi, take care of yourself."

Only then did Mrs. Yu become more active, saluted Shi Mei, and followed Mrs. Zhang.

That's what Yang said.

It turned out that Jia Zhen stole Jia Rui's daughter-in-law, You Shi.

How did Jia Zhen steal it?

He served as the host, set up wine at Jin Rong's house in Huazhi Lane, gathered a group of friends for a drink, and took Jia Rui to go too.

Jia Rui has no money in his purse.

His grandparents all trusted You Shi, and You Shi was in charge of the family's money.

Jia Zhen asked for a drink, and he went happily.

Jia Zhen is a scoundrel, and when Jia Rui gets drunk, she will send him home.

Jia Dairu and his wife went to bed early by God.

He sent the man directly to the backyard on the pretext of his bloodline.

In this way, I got acquainted with You Shi.

Jia Zhen also helped Youshi's younger sister get out of the marriage, paying 50 taels of silver to compensate Zhang's family.

Yushi is very grateful.

Once, Jia Rui got drunk again.

Youshi muttered a few words, but Jia Rui actually hit Youshi.

Jia Zhen's sweet words of comfort put Youshi to sleep.

This sleep became a family favorite.

Go to bed every three to five days.

Yushi is 36 this year, so naturally he is not as gorgeous as Youshi.

Shi Mei was really speechless.

Jia Zhen is so wicked!

Shi Mei said: "This Zhen'er really deserves to be beaten!"

Yang's face was full of shame: "Isn't it because of this that your nephew beat him?"

Shi Mei was stunned: "Isn't that the case?"

Yang Shi nodded: "When this happened, Yu Shi beat him up.

He said to repent, and we felt ashamed. Last year, we bought a good birthday cake for the Sixth Grandfather, which settled the matter. "

Shi Mei supported her forehead.

When Shi Mei heard about this last year, she felt a little ashamed.Jia Dairu is a concubine of the Rong Mansion, and his patron should also be the patron of the Rong Mansion.

Shi Mei felt that Jia Dairu was not short of the money, so she ignored him.

However, Jia Jing is the head of the clan, so it is right to care about the elders, so Shi Mei didn't pursue this matter.

I don't want to have this secret.

At this time, Mrs. Yang said again: "This wicked person, she kept an outhouse in Huazhi Lane. Because she didn't get the money, she stole the medicinal materials and gave them to Mr. Zhang Dao. Divide equally. In the future, if there is credit, everyone will have a share."
