[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 52

Jia Lian was frightened into a cold sweat by his own imagination, but when he thought that Situ Yuan was not a womanizer at all, and after he returned from northern Xinjiang, he arranged for him to find a way to win over Lin Ruhai. The situation he imagined appeared.

Lin Ruhai knew how much Situ Yuan valued a pair of sons and daughters, and also understood the psychology of some civil officials who did not want their daughters to marry into the royal family as concubines.

The more he thought about it, the calmer Jia Lian became. He was simply scaring himself.

With a self-deprecating smile, he raised the corners of his lips, and after handing Jia Min's letter to Mrs. Zhang, he went back to his yard to write a letter to Mei Xiruo.Originally, she wanted to confirm her marriage contract with Mei Xiruo after she came back, but unfortunately she was busy with separating the family before and now she is now preparing for Jia Daishan's funeral, so she has to wait three years later.

Jia Amnesty is still alive, his grandson only has to keep filial piety for Jia Daishan for one year, but is there any marriage that he arranges by himself?No matter what, we have to wait until the three-year filial piety period of the Zhang family and Jia She is over, and the Ronghou Mansion can reopen to socialize with the people in the capital.

No one knows the exact date of Jia Daishan's death except Jia Lian and Jia She. After all, the Duke's health has lasted for more than three years. No imperial doctor dared to confirm how long he can live. He has been beaten in the face several times before. up.

However, Jia Daishan was surprised that Jia Daishan could guess that his days were not long.Is it really the same as the system said, humans are also a kind of animal, and they still have some intuition about certain things.

The time is when Jia She is having fun with Jia Cheng all day long, Mrs. Zhang writes back to Jia Min to prepare for Lin Yiyu's arrival, and Jia Lian and Meixi Ruo communicate with each other to listen to Jia Daishan's teachings.Until the first day of August, when Jia Daishan lay in bed in the morning and couldn't get up, the other three masters of the Ronghou Mansion knew that the old Duke's time was not far away.

After sending the chief steward to Jia's mansion to invite Jia Shishi and Jia Zheng to Ronghou's mansion, Zhang ordered the servants to start decorating the mourning hall.This is to prepare for an eventuality, and secondly, I hope to take this opportunity to rush forward, maybe Jia Daishan can get better.

But everyone knew that the latter item was just an extravagant hope, because Emperor Longxu not only sent the imperial physician this time, but even the imperial physician. When they came out of the room, they all shook their heads at the Jia family without even a prescription. Say goodbye and leave.

In the end, Imperial Physician Wen, who was on good terms with Dafang, quietly told Jia Lian to prepare for the next generation.Behind the big house there is an existence with much stronger medical skills than him. Jia Daishan's physical condition in the past few years has also made them, the imperial doctors, feel weird. He is just trying to sell himself by saying this now.

Sure enough, after listening to him, Jia Lian nodded and thanked him without any surprises, and wrapped him in a big red envelope before asking the book holders around him to send him out.Putting the red seal close to his cuffs, Imperial Physician Wen got into the carriage waiting in the back street of Ningrong, and reconfirmed that his friendship policy was not wrong.

After the imperial physician left, Jia Shishi, who was guarding Jia Daishan's room, called everyone in the first room and the second room with a livid face.The old lady is regretting it now, if she had known that Jia Daishan would not be able to hold on so soon, why would she bother to leave with the second room!

It's a pity that everything has been settled now, the fact that she didn't want to be taken care of by the eldest wife and wanted to leave with the second wife has been recorded in the royal family, so it's useless for her to regret it.

Jia Daishan leaned halfway on the bed, looking at the offspring kneeling on the ground, when his eyes stopped on Jia Lian, an abnormal blush appeared on his face: "Lian'er, come here."

Jia Lian, who was kneeling behind Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Zhang, handed Jia Teng beside her to Mrs. Zhang, and then strode to Jia Daishan's bed.He held Jia Daishan's raised hand with a sad face: "Grandfather, what are your orders?"

"Lian'er, it's not a coincidence that grandfather left. Next year's annual examination will be too late. After you pass the filial piety, go to the south of the Yangtze River for a walk and study. There are many literati academies there, so it is worth studying hard. Take part in Jinling When you come back after finishing the scientific examination, according to your status as Marquis of Rong Guo, as long as you get the honor of a scholar, you are eligible to participate in the Qiu Wei in the capital." Jia Daishan Chunchun confessed, and Jia Lian just nodded.

He is already content with being able to obtain the title of Marquis of Rongguo with martial arts, but he still has to use the imperial examination as a stepping stone for his official career.

Jia Zhu knelt behind Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang with her head bowed and her hands clasped tightly. It was obvious that their second wife was the scholar of Jia's family, but at this time, grandfather was also thinking of Jia Lian, and he didn't expect their second wife at all!Obviously he is also preparing to take the imperial examination, and his sister will be drafted next year, so he missed everything!

Jia Zhu's seniority, Jia Daishan, couldn't hear him. After explaining to Jia Lian, he coughed twice, and with Jia Lian's support, he drank some warm water to moisten his throat, and then he spoke to everyone.

"This separation, I know that neither the eldest nor the second is satisfied. Especially the second, do you think that the Rongguo Mansion should only have such a small amount of property?" Even though time is short, Jia Daishan's power is not that of Jia Zheng and Wang. Madam can bear it, but they are pale and dare not.

Glancing at Jia Shishi who was sitting beside his bed, Jia Daishan snorted coldly: "Before the separation, I contacted the household department and returned the 80 taels of silver that our Rongguo Mansion owed to the state treasury."

Jia Lian's pupils shrank suddenly. In his previous life, the Rongguo Mansion was confiscated and he was accused of being short-lived!He didn't know when the Rongguo Mansion owed the treasury money until his death in his previous life, and he didn't know in this life, if Jia Daishan hadn't told his arrangement at this time, he would still be ignorant.

In his previous life, he thought that Jia Daishan had made arrangements for the owed money before his death, but unfortunately the Rongguo Mansion was not in the right place and was raided once. In order to ensure the expenses of the mansion, Jia Shishi directly put the owed money to the back of his mind.

Panting for a while, Jia Daishan ignored Jia Shishi's resentful eyes and continued: "Even if you pay back the money owed, this will give you a lot of property. It's just that I heard some rumors recently, so I just told you about it." .Second brother, how do you think you got this six-rank real job? If I hadn’t paid back the money I owed and helped the Holy Majesty solve a problem, you wouldn’t be able to wear this official uniform.”

Jia Daishan's voice was weak, completely different from his usual one.From the corner of Jia Lian's eyes, Mrs. Zhang turned her head and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia Shishi did not respond at all.No, it's not that they didn't respond, they only had resentment towards Jia Daishan, so knowing that his time was running out, they didn't feel sad at all.

"Okay, you all go down, what are you doing here." Jia Daishan raised his hand and waved it weakly, "It's good that Lian'er stays here with me."

After everyone dispersed, Mrs. Zhang went to the flower hall of Rongxi Hall to gather the women to deal with the affairs of the Ronghou Mansion.Jia Daishan's funeral is not easy, she has to start taking care of it now.Jia Amnesty took Jia Cheng to the Nuan Pavilion of Rongxi Hall. He had experienced Jia Daishan's death once in his previous life. This time, the old man had lived for four more years, so there was nothing to be sad about.

The Erfang family followed the housekeeper to the courtyard next to the horse shed on the east side of Ronghou Mansion. They had to live here until Jia Daishan's coffin was sent to Yunhua Temple, the family temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Originally, the Tiekan Temple on the outskirts of Beijing was built by Ergong Ningrong on the same day, so that the elderly population in Beijing could be stored here cheaply.But a few years ago, the lineage of Rongguo Mansion had been divided into sects, so naturally the Tiekan Temple could no longer be used.This Yunhua Temple was built under the arrangement of Jia Daishan after the division of the sect, and it is quite different from the already established Tiekan Temple.But compared with other people who put their coffins in Yizhuang, it is not bad to have such a place.

Jia Shishi sat down on the chair, hummed twice before saying to the butler who brought them here: "Your master is really good at making arrangements, sending us to this guest courtyard. Even if we separate, we will They're all from the Jia family, so they can't be regarded as guests!"

The butler quietly listened to Jia Shishi's venting, and as expected, the old lady would be angry because of these things.But she can only be so angry and can't do anything else, the family is separated, the family is divided, how can it be a family.

Still thinking that I am not a guest but a host, I really don't know what it means!

While Jia Shishi was venting, Jia Zheng and his wife were thinking about their own affairs.

For Jia Zheng, he had only been in the Ministry of Industry for a month or so in his late thirties or early forties. Once Jia Daishan died, he would have to observe filial piety for three years, and he didn't know if his position would still be there.

Mrs. Wang thought even more, Zhu'er was going to get married next year, but now she has to wait three years.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng will only be thirteen next year, and she will only reach the age of ji three years later, but Jia Zhu will be crowned by then.Although he was very dissatisfied with Jia Shishi's accusation of someone to Jia Zhu, it is a good thing that this happened now.Jia Zhu only has to keep his filial piety for one year, and there will always be someone by his side to take care of him.

And her Yuanchun...it will be August when the filial piety is over. Although the draft is held in September, she has long missed the registration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.I really don't know what this Jia Daishan is doing, that broken body has been delayed for so many years, wouldn't it be good to delay it for another year!

When Jia's family comes out with filial piety, she will be seventeen in Yuanchun, and she doesn't know if she can discuss marriage by then!

There is also this piece of meat in her stomach, which is not far from delivery, and the pregnancy is not very stable, and she will have to cry when the time comes, and I don't know if she can hold it.

Mrs. Wang is really devastated, she can't wait to bite Jia Daishan.In addition, I heard that Jia Daishan had repaid the 80 taels of silver owed to the family, and I was even more upset.Since the title was obtained by the big family, the big family should pay back the money owed, why should the second family share half of it!

That was 40 taels of silver in vain. Mrs. Wang only felt that pain in the flesh, liver pain, stomach pain was not good, and after taking a pill in her purse, she felt her stomach was comfortable.

This kid really didn't come at the right time!

No matter how dissatisfied Jia Shishi and Erfang are, they still don't have the ability to heal human flesh and bones.In the early morning of the second day of August, Jia Daishan began to fall into a coma. Jia Lian waited on him personally, and never stopped delivering medicine and water.Originally, it was most appropriate for Jia Yuanchun to take care of the sickness, but she herself was not very willing and Jia Lian was not at ease, so naturally she let it go.

In the early morning of the third day of August, Jia Daishan woke up, chatted and laughed with Jia Lian, drank a bowl of fish porridge and fell asleep again.At noon, Jia Daishan stopped breathing in a coma.

After Jia Daishan washed and dressed, he lay down in the catalpa coffin which had been prepared long ago, and eight servants in sackcloth carried the coffin to the main hall of Rongxi Hall.This place has long been arranged as a mourning hall, and it is completely white.The men of Jia's mansion knelt down to watch the spirit in filial piety, while the women were in the backyard.

At this time, Jia Shishi, who had just changed into filial piety, realized that today is her 62nd birthday on the third day of August!

This Jia Daishan, the death day really chose a good day!She won't have to pass her birthday from now on, right? !
