The blame is only on the last generation of Ning Guogong, who has to learn from others and think that his family can't make great achievements, keep a low profile, and let the emperor rest assured that Jia Jing's generation has come to his family, and he can no longer be contaminated with military power.
But he was not willing to let his son become a useless wretch who could accomplish nothing, and Jia Jing himself was really good at studying, so he planned to transfer Ningguo Mansion from Wu to Wen.
Who knows that Jia Jing won the Jinshi, but he became the first among the noble children to win the Jinshi, which still attracts attention.The old Duke Ning was helpless, in order to prevent people from saying that he was thinking about civil and military affairs, apart from telling Jia Jing a few people who saved lives at critical moments, no one even told Jia Jing that he had personal guards.
Not to mention that Jiao Da, the former head of the personal guard, never let the rumors out, he only said that Jia Jing should treat him kindly.
So under the expressions of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong who dropped their jaws in shock, Jiao Da has already calmly led them to a small courtyard awarded to Jiao Da by Old Ninggong, and saw In the courtyard, the cage of pigeons that have fallen asleep.
Jia Zhen could only secretly complain that Old Ning Guogong cheated people a lot. Who would train a life-saving person like Qinwei into a person soaked in wine lees?He secretly rejoiced that the place where Jiao Da lived was far away from the main courtyard or the Tianxiang Tower, otherwise Qin Keqing would have had to expose himself in that life.
Just watched Jiao Dagui draw a talisman without knowing what he drew on the small half of the parchment, and watched him stuff the scroll into the thin tube on the pigeon's foot, and then Jiao Dayi let go, then The homing pigeon has already taken off.
Jia Zhen asked in disbelief: "Those people live far away. If they don't make it in time, they won't be able to guard against it for two days."
Jiao Da smiled triumphantly at Jia Zhen: "Okay, sir."
Well, your letter has already been sent, who else can read it if you don’t read it?It also feels good to know that there are people outside the mansion protecting him, although he still doesn't know how powerful these people are.But it shouldn't be too bad to make Jiao Da so confident.
Jia Zhen took Jia Rong back to the main courtyard and sent him back to her room to rest before returning to the study by herself.But no matter what he thinks about it, now is not the time for him to rest in peace - Yizhong County King is stable, but how to get to the army is still a big problem.
No matter how the few people Jia Jing handed over to him can speak up in front of the Supreme Emperor, he can't directly ask someone to speak to the Supreme Emperor on his behalf, and then let the Supreme Emperor put pressure on the present, and put him in the army in a daze go.
If he really does this, even if he pinches his nose and admits it now, but when the Supreme Emperor rides a crane to the west, or the Supreme Emperor loses the power to check and balance with the present, he will definitely be the first to directly deal with the Ningguo Mansion— —Isn’t the emperor narrow-minded?
Jia Zhen is not afraid that she will be killed. Anyway, as long as he doesn't commit suicide, the system can't stand him.But the other half of the task, ensuring that the Ningguo Mansion's incense will last forever is empty talk-there will be eggs under the nest.
So Jia Zhen has already decided, that is, she will directly submit the paper and ask to go to the frontier to work.Anyway, the matter between him and Qin Keqing was spread like a storm outside, maybe you can hear it today-even people like Yizhong County King have secret guards, if you say there are no secrets today Power, that is self-deception.
On the second day, Jia Zhen didn't need the servant to call, she got up early and quietly practiced the Juli technique in the yard.To say that this thing is better, because Jia Zhen already has the practice experience of Jia Daishan's life, so even if this body is a bit vain, the effect is quite obvious.
Although Jia Zhen is ready to let someone hug her head and get stabbed in case she goes to the battlefield, she can improve her own strength. Who wouldn't want to hug someone's head and stab someone?So he was not stingy at all, and he was very motivated to practice, or at least he was more motivated than Jia Daishan in his life.
After practicing for an hour, Jia Zhen finally gave up. She was already sweating profusely, so she asked the boy to bring hot water to help him take a bath.The boy still felt strange, he obviously didn't see anyone in the room, why is the uncle sweating so much?Could it be that the man walked through the back door?If I reveal this news to the sisters in front of the grandma, how many pockets can I get?
Jia Zhen didn't know that she had already made Xiao Si think of her as a jade-stealing expert.But even if you know it, it's nothing - this is not wrong to the original owner, but to Jia Zhen, he is going to change the servant anyway, so it is also not important.
After seeing Jia Zhen wash up, Jiao Dahou went into the room and said to him: "Master, please send someone to tell that dog Lai Sheng, my old brothers have already arrived outside the mansion, and they brought people along with them." Come on. But who knows who Lai Chang is, but he has to say that he doesn't know these people, and that they are not from the mansion, so he won't let him in."
Is this okay?Jia Zhen frowned: "Didn't you say that I asked you to call him?"
Jiao Da was even more annoyed: "Why didn't you say it. But that dog insisted on saying what I said to be false. Bah, if I really falsely passed on to Grandpa, it would be the dog's turn to show off in the mansion."
Jia Zhen asked the servant to find Lai Sheng as soon as possible - if Jiao Da said such a thing before yesterday, Jia Zhen would not believe it, but the cage of pigeons appeared in front of her eyes, if she still did not believe it, That is not to understand the world situation, but not to have a long brain.
Lai Sheng may also be watching Jiao Da's actions, so he came very quickly.He had a flattering smile on his face, and his waist was bent very low. It was obvious that he only listened to his master.
But Jia Zhen didn't let him be intimidated by this appearance, she just asked: "When will my words, sir, be as good as yours in this mansion?"
But Lai Chang couldn't stand these words, so he quickly knelt down by himself: "You are joking, every plant and tree in this mansion belongs to you, so naturally everyone has to listen to you, the younger ones don't dare to say no. "
This kind of servility made Jia Zhen feel even more disgusted: "Then why don't you let Jiao Da find some old people from his grandfather's time to enter the mansion?"
Lai Da made a bitter face: "Where does the uncle know, where did Jiao Da find a few? There are forty or fifty people, and they are all strong. These people have been working for more than 20 years. I have never seen one of my housekeepers. If there are few people, there are many servants in the mansion, and what happens can be controlled. But if there are so many people, if they really have bad intentions, they will be the servants of the mansion. Together, it can't be restrained."
"Fart." Jiao Da scolded directly from the side: "Those three old people have fought their lives together with the Duke of the country. How dare you say you don't know them? The others are also their disciples and grandchildren. Why? You will have evil intentions to murder your master! It is clear that you deliberately made things difficult for me."
Hearing that there were so many people here, Jia Zhen was quite determined, and at the same time asked the young man to go out to pass on his words, and brought those people directly to the yard of her study, and then asked someone to call Jia Rong—then The boy is the heir of this mansion, and he is about to go to Jinling alone again, so he should be shown how to deal with the servants.
You know, in the old Jinling house, there are not only servants, but also some members of the Jia family.Those people must have contributed a lot to the Jia family's ability to get the Jinling Official Protector Talisman, and they have to be dealt with.
Jia Zhen gave instructions and calls, but Lai Sheng was not allowed to get up.No matter if it was the second master in the mansion, in front of the real master, or the original master who would go straight to him if he disagreed with him, Lai Sheng could only continue to kneel obediently.
He knew that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong met Jiao Da last night, but he didn't know what Jiao Da had said to the two masters.Thinking about these years, I really didn't bring any benefits to Jiao Da, and I felt a little guilty.That's why Jiao Da went to pick up the person in front of the mansion today, so he made the decision in private and stopped the person.
But the people he arranged could stop others, but they couldn't stop Jiao Da, a drunk man. He watched Jiao Da run to the uncle's study in a hurry, and hurriedly reported to Lai Sheng.
Lai Sheng got the news, although he didn't know that Jia Zhen was going to clean up her, but he also felt that it might not be a good thing - if it really had nothing to do with him, then why didn't the uncle let him do it, but let Mrs. Jiao Da The goods stand up again?
It can only be said that thieves are thieves with wisdom. It is not for nothing that Lai Sheng has been the chief steward of dozens of Ningguo Mansions.He was careful there, and thought about what he should do if the uncle asked about it—Jiao Da had no reason not to complain to the uncle—in order to deepen the impression that his loyalty was the main thing, and let the uncle deepen Some.
No matter what happened to Lai Sheng, the people Jia Rong and Jiao Da called for had already arrived.But it was Jia Rong who went straight into the study, while the people Jiao Da called were still waiting in the yard to listen to the orders from inside.
Jia Zhen looked at Jiao Da: "I can't see so many people for a while, why don't I just see your brothers."
Jiao Da had no objection to this, he went out in person and brought in three old men whose hair was as white as Jiao Da's.The three old men and Jiao Da stood there, and each of them saw that their hair was white and their eyes were cloudy, but their expressions were not loose, and they looked like they were standing loosely. Do not allow people to straighten their backs.
To these people, Jia Zhen was still very polite: "I invite you to come here today. It is true that if the house is not cleaned up, you will not know who is the master and who is the slave. I have been sorry to you before. , let me finish cleaning up these lawless slaves, and then apologize to you all. I still have to rely on you today."
The eyes of the three old men became moist, but they didn't shed tears. They only said at the beginning: "You can't take what you say. It is our brother's duty to be loyal to the mansion. You just give orders." Jiao Da Just nodded together with the other two.
When Lai Sheng heard this, his mind was shattered—this servant who should be dealt with in this mansion, what is there not to understand when looking at the situation in the house?I must be the first.He said to Jia Zhen with some reluctance: "The mansion has just gone through the affairs of Grandma Xiaorong, so many slaves are doing their best. The uncle doesn't want to reward people, but cleans up people. I'm afraid the slaves will be dissatisfied , I accidentally went on errand."
Jia Zhen smiled slightly: "Whether they are dissatisfied or you are dissatisfied, we all know that. Besides, as a servant, shouldn't you serve the master? If you put in a little effort and want to be rewarded, then those who have not done it for many years Are the old people on errands convinced or not?"
The four old men laughed together, making Lai Sheng flushed with embarrassment.Jia Zhen ignored his reaction, and said to Jia Rong: "It turns out that you only follow me to do things, and you have little experience. Today, I will leave the cleaning up of the slaves to you, and you will take Jiao Da and the others to do it yourself. Well done, the government If you can survive for another two years, you can also live a relaxed life for two years. If you run anticlimactically, it is you who will suffer in the future."
Jia Rong didn't know what to do, and asked, "Then the father?"
Jia Zhen just smiled, but there was some decisiveness in that smile: "I'm going to go out of the mansion to find the door, and ask someone to give me a book." Jia Rong knew that he still wanted to go to the army.
Yesterday, Jia Rong already felt that she was useless and let her father run around for her own life.Listening to Jia Zhen's words now, I feel that if I don't deal with these servants in a submissive manner, I will be sorry for Jia Zhen seeking to survive.
He bowed to Jia Zhen, and then bent down to Jiao Da: "I don't have any regulations on how to do things today, so I ask Jiao Da to give you more advice."
Jiao Dazao turned his body sideways and passed Jia Rong's gift, but he said to Jia Zhen: "If the uncle goes out, the servants in the mansion don't need to take it with him anymore. Why don't you choose a few from the people in the yard?" Come here to keep the uncle safe."
Jia Zhen just had this intention, and she was afraid that they would not have enough manpower: "I can go out by myself. If you don't have enough manpower, it will delay the work."
Jiao Da looked at Lai Sheng who was still kneeling on the ground with some disdain: "There are thirty people, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with this soft-witted guy? It's just relying on the dignity given by the master. There are about ten more, It was originally prepared for Uncle and Uncle Xiao Rong."
Jia Zhen stopped pleading and asked Jiao Da to call in the people who had prepared for him.Jiao Da saw that there was no room left in the house, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go out and meet everyone. They have been told to serve their master since they were young, but we are disrespectful and make them There is also no chance to see the golden face of the master."
Such nonsensical words lead Jia Zhen and Jia Rong to laugh and leave the room together.There were 50 or [-] people standing in the yard darkly, and the martial arts practitioners were half a head taller than ordinary people, which made both father and son feel threatened.
Jia Zhen knew that in such an occasion, it was common sense to speak up by herself. She took a step forward and nodded to those people: "Everyone, work hard today. Jiao Dadu has already told me about your daily hardships. Don't worry about everything before. Ti, just say that in the future, as long as you spend your life on errands, I won't treat you badly."
Four or fifty people responded with a bang, although it was a bit dull, it was still neat.Jia Zhen nodded her head approvingly.With Jia Zhen's approval, Jiao Da raised his head a little higher, and shouted to the people below: "If you want to be a follower for Uncle and Uncle Xiaorong, come out."
Twelve people walked out of the crowd one after another.The twelve people seemed to be the youngest in the group, all of them were wearing Tsing Yi bunts, boots that kicked dead cows on their feet, and they were all about the same stature, even Jia Zhen couldn't tell who was who.
He intentionally saw that he had practiced the Juli Technique for a day, but there was no effect, so he stepped forward and gave each of the twelve people a palm push.The twelve people also heard that their master was originally for fun, so they didn't care about his palm at first.
Unexpectedly, the first person was directly pushed by Jia Zhen, and the second person's palm landed on his body, and his body was tilted.The next one didn't think too much about it, and had already gotten lucky, but Jia Zhen still pushed him and shook him, and the rest of them were not much better.
Jia Zhen smiled at Jiao Dao: "That's right, I have some strength."
Jiao Da looked at Jia Zhen's eyes, which were already full of splendor.He only thought that Jia Zhen was hiding her clumsiness on weekdays, and he didn't tell the truth in front of others. He just said, "Master, please choose someone first."
Jia Zhen was not polite, and directly picked six of the relatively weaker ones - he himself had a great strength technique to defend himself, and those few stronger ones would be better in skill, so I left it to Jia Rong, a weak chicken, to protect him. It's all right.
If Jia Rong can't see it, can Jiao Da not see it?His position on Jia Zhen was higher, but he still didn't point it out. He only said to the six people: "Master thinks highly of you, and I chose you to go in and out with him. You also knew what you should do since you were young, just don't lose it." That's the old face of us people."
The six people had already knelt down, their knees touched the ground, but their upper bodies were still straight: "I would like to work hard for the uncle. Please give me a name."
Jia Zhen heard that these people didn't have names yet, and she didn't think that when she thought of her first life, she had never fulfilled her wish, and her bad taste came up again, and she called them all the way down: "From now on, you will be called: Xianyan, Guyan , Yanyan, Xiandan, Gudan, Yuandan." The six people listened and thanked the uncle for his name.
Jia Zhen didn't say any more, and motioned to Jiao Da: "Rong'er will leave it to you." She took Xianyan, Guyan, Xiandan, and Gudan to go out together, leaving Yanyan and Yuandan behind. Listen to the news, so that when I come back, I will learn to listen to the process for myself.
After riding away from the gate of the mansion, Jia Zhen remembered something, and said to Xianyan: "I forgot, are you familiar with the roads in Beijing? Where can I find out about all the mansions?"
Now Yan might not be used to talking with his master, and when Jia Zhen asked, she was a little embarrassed, which made Jia Zhen laugh.But what he said is still very reliable: "Going back to the uncle, our brothers still know the roads in the capital, and even the familiar adults in the mansion live in their homes, so we can calculate where they live."
Jia Zhen nodded immediately, and asked again: "Do any of you know how to read?" Don't answer a post at that time, even if you don't know who sent it, or if you want to go to Zhang's house, they will send it to you. The Li family has gone.
Those few people all nodded their heads together, and they still said what they said: "I learned a few words along with me, and I can read the commonly used ones."
That's enough, and Jia Zhen doesn't have too many demands.It seems that Jiao Da and the others really care about these people.I just want to teach these people how to practice martial arts and teach them how to read, which costs a lot of money. Where did these old men get their money from?Jia Zhen took this matter down in her heart, thinking that when she returned home, no matter how good she was to ask Jiao Da, she couldn't let a few servants post money to train her servants.
Da Ma arrived in front of Feng Tang's mansion, Jia Zhen motioned for Xian Yan to come and post a post, Jia Zhen just sat on the horse and waited for a reply, and also wanted to see if Xian Yan, the young servant who took office for the first time, would It means that he will deal with noble slaves.
I saw that after Xian Yan dismounted, he first handed the horse to his companion, then adjusted his clothes, and then walked to the front of Feng's house.There was already a disciple of the Feng family, and when they saw a group of people coming from afar, they had already started sizing them up.Some people who knew Jia Zhen also came forward with a smile when they saw the words coming.
That Xianyan didn't become conceited just because others laughed, and although Jia Zhen couldn't see his face with his back turned, it can also be seen from the enlarged smile on the face of the servant of the Feng family that Xianyan must not Will be stern.
Seeing that Xianyan preemptively saluted the visitor, and handed over the post in his hands.The doorman of Feng's family glanced at Jia Zhen with a penitent smile, slapped thousands from a distance, and said something to the current words, then took the post and flew towards the door.
Xianyan was not in a hurry to come back to give Jia Zhen an order, but stood still for a while, waiting for another door to come to him, and then came to Jia Zhen's horse together with others.Now I went to my companion to pick up my horse, and the family members of Feng's family had already arrived in front of Jia Zhen's horse, and said neatly: "It's Mr. Jia, he came very early today. Please come in and sit in the gatehouse for a while. , have a cup of tea, our master will definitely welcome you in person."
This is also the rule of the aristocratic family. It is not said that people are released into the house without the master's consent.But it's not good to neglect the guests, please go to the concierge to drink a cup of tea and have a rest.
Jia Zhen was very satisfied with her performance, she patted her horse and took two steps forward, and waited until she got closer to the gate of the mansion before dismounting, and followed Feng's family to the gatehouse.Someone had brought tea a long time ago, and Jia Zhen only took a few glances at the furnishings in the room, and thought of how she would tell her plans if she saw Feng Tang later, so that she could act in the future.
Therefore, putting Feng Tang's first stop in seeking to join the army, Jia Zhen also had his own considerations.After all, it can be seen for several generations that this Feng Tang is also a diehard loyalist of the Yizhong lineage, and compared with Qin Bangye, this person has more weight in speaking to the King of Yizhong.
Yesterday, Jia Zhen persuaded Qin Bangye to preserve his blood, so that the words could reach the ears of Yizhong County King, so that he would not interfere with Jia Zhen's ability to join the army.Today I came to see Feng Tang, but it was to convince Yizhong County King that the reason why Jia Zhen went to join the army was not because she really had any connections in her hands, but because she was tired of love. After finding out the actions of Rongguo Mansion, she wanted to follow suit. During the trip of the ancestors, he went to fight for a foothold in the army, so that he could seek justice for Qin Keqing from the Rongguo Mansion in the future.
After a while, I heard someone laughing outside: "I thought Brother Zhen would spend a few days in the mansion, but I didn't expect to come to the door today. I didn't say it earlier. with friends."
It was none other than Feng Ziying, known as the Four Heroes of the Red Chamber.This makes sense, although Feng Tang is not very successful now, but he is a figure of the same generation as Jia Jing, and there is no reason for him to personally welcome this junior.
Although Jia Zhen also had a smile on her face, there was a little sadness on her face, making the smile superficial: "I just came to bid farewell to old man Feng, so I don't want to drink any wine."
Feng Ziying asked a little strangely: "Well, I haven't heard where you are going, so why are you talking about farewell?" He extended his hand to Jia Zhen and asked him to go first.
The original owner of the Feng family didn't come here once or twice, and there was a young servant leading the way in front of him. Jia Zhen only talked with Feng Ziying all the way: "You know a thing or two, I'm not feeling well now, and I don't have the face to walk around in Beijing." , wanting to go out for a while. It’s fine with other people, but the old man has to say goodbye here, so as to live up to our friendship.”
Feng Ziying wanted to ask again, but seeing that Jia Zhen's face was full of desolation, she couldn't open her mouth even if she wanted to tease her, so she walked slowly into Feng Tang's study with him.
After entering the room, Feng Tang also put down what he was doing and was waiting for the two of them.After receiving Jia Zhen's gift, he asked, "Why are you so busy in the house today? Are you free to come and sit with me?"
Jia Zhen changed it all into a wry smile: "The old man is still covering it up for me. Even if it is difficult to talk about this matter, but even if it has come out, and another life has been taken, I think I know everything I should know."
Feng Tang looked at Jia Zhen with a hint of contempt, but he could still hold it: "It's not a big deal for anyone who hasn't got a fever. Besides, people have already passed away, and death is as important as death." If the lights are off, it can be covered for any serious matter."
As if Jia Zhen had heard it, she forcibly put away the bitterness on her face, and said to Feng Tang: "My nephew came to the door today, not for anything else. It's just that I can't let people stay in the nunnery all the time. Send Ling back to Jinling to be buried in the earth for peace. And myself, I also want to go to the frontier to serve."
The color on Feng Tang's face finally changed: "This is nonsense. When your first wife left, didn't you just remarry, let alone..."
Jia Zhen shook her head: "What's the difference? It turns out that my first wife was just ordered by my parents to prolong the birth of children. But she is different in the end."
Feng Tang looked at Jia Zhen in surprise. For people like them, how could a woman affect a man so far?He tentatively asked: "No matter how different it is, it's just a woman."
But Jia Zhen still shook her head: "It's different. Besides, she didn't deserve to die. It was those people who came to her one by one for the sake of their family's wealth, and then drove them to a dead end. I'm a useless person now. She is capable, but I can't watch her die like this for nothing. I have to go to the army to earn some money, if one day I can be like my ancestors, hmph, one Rongguo Mansion, and the other only works as a female historian in the palace..." Speaking of this , he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and shut up directly.
However, the information that could be disclosed still made Feng Tang understand, that Qin Keqing's death was inseparable from the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention, it was because of the eldest girl who was sent to the palace by the Rongguo Mansion, that she forced her to death. Qin Keqing.
Feng Tang acted in disbelief: "Your two governments have always been one of Ning Rong. It must not be the case."
Jia Zhen's face showed anger: "Why not. I know that the relationship between Uncle Feng and that mansion is closer than that of our mansion. But the old man should think about it, why do they have to take a good daughter-in-law? Send it to the palace? Anyway, for such a family, I only want to save face. Even my younger sister has been taken back to the mansion to be raised by me. Don't let me stand out. When I really have a day, our two houses have A day when bridges return to bridges and roads return."
What he said was so solemn that Feng Tang had to believe that he said it from the bottom of his heart.He was also afraid that he might have connections with Lord Xianning. This trip would be like a bird going into the mountains and a dragon returning to the sea, and he pretended to persuade people:
"Even if your grandfather still has one or two old acquaintances in the army, I'm afraid he hasn't contacted him for many years. What's more, what age are you now, and it's not the time when you were young to fight with strength."
When Jia Zhen heard Feng Tang say this, bitterness appeared on her face again.As if afraid of being seen by others, the bitterness will disappear in an instant.But Feng Tang kept paying attention to him, and he saw Jia Zhen forced a smile on his face: "I asked my father yesterday, I don't think my father is not familiar with military affairs because he was born in the imperial examination. Shangxin. Grandpa left in a hurry, and there was no time to explain anything to the old man."
Feng Tang still didn't believe it, but what he asked was: "Why did your father agree?"
Jia Zhen smiled wryly: "It's not like old man Feng didn't know what kind of virtue the slaves in our mansion are these years. If these slaves weren't talking too much, how would the mansion know!" There was viciousness in the words: "Hmph, the left and right are just slaves. I can't deal with the people in that house now, and I can't deal with my own slaves. Now my stupid son is copying the homes of those slaves. I don't want to listen to their ghosts. This I just came to disturb the old man."
Before Feng Tang could tell whether Jia Jing agreed, he insisted on asking: "How many people in your mansion were recruited by your parents at that time, you should save some face for them."
Jia Zhen sneered: "Save face for him? I'm going to die. He doesn't know about it. He doesn't have anything useful. He can only watch me die on the battlefield one day. What face do you need? Shed tears, what's the use of shedding tears!" The tone of the voice was indescribably unfeeling, unwilling, and unwilling!
Only then did Feng Tang understand that he didn't get any help from Jia Jing, so he was thinking of finding useful people from him.Put on a sympathetic face: "Even if your father has nothing there, then you don't have to go to the army."
But Jia Zhen cried out reluctantly: "But if I don't go to the army, I will just live as before. I still have to let the mansion come and go. Besides, she will die in vain! I want Avenge her."
Come on, you are a lover.But Feng Tang looked down on such a person who only knew how to indulge in his children's affair.He continued to act as if trying to persuade Jia Zhen, but he was thinking in his heart, how should he tell the king of Yizhong County this information—seeing that Ningguo Mansion really has no contacts at all, so there is no need to waste manpower to keep an eye on them house.
But the Rongguo Mansion should remind the prince to be more careful.And the eldest girl of the Rongguo Mansion who has already entered the palace, she also has to be careful.
He also said some words of no salt and less vinegar, Jia Zhen saw that she could not get any help from Feng Tang, so she got up unwillingly and left.Before leaving, he reminded Feng Tang: "The old man has to stay far away from that mansion. They can still deal with people of my family so cruelly, not to mention that the old man and them are just for the sake of the grandfather of the previous country. Come on. Maybe at any time, the old man will be stabbed in the back. Even... the old man should remind me."
So far, Feng Tang has fully believed Jia Zhen's words that she wants to compete with Rong Guoji - in front of herself, who is obviously closer to Rong Guo Mansion, Jia Zhen will spare no effort to pick and choose, let alone others.It is the last sentence, I am afraid that he is thinking of letting the prince take action, and he took advantage of his wish to clean up the Rongguo Mansion.
According to Feng Tang's thinking, he should teach the Rongguo Mansion some lessons.But the situation is stronger than the people, and now the power of the prince is getting worse than that of Prince Xianyizhong, so he can only recharge his energy and store up his strength first, so that he can plan for the future.
After coming out of Feng's house, Jia Zhen's face relaxed a little when she was far away from the gate of the mansion.But he couldn't go back to the mansion yet. Instead, he paid homage to those families who had some friendship with the Ningguo mansion and were close to the King of Yizhong County. The words he said were similar to those in Feng Tang's mansion: one is farewell, The second is to accuse Rongguo Mansion of injustice, and the third is to remind everyone to be more careful about Rongguo Mansion.
He is not afraid that some of these people's families have sincere friendship with the Rongguo Mansion and will spread the word to the Rongguo Mansion-although there is no evidence for this, but the Rongguo Mansion, especially Mrs. Wang, really made a move. Wait a few days For Jia Yuanchun to become a concubine, others have to believe what he said today if they don't believe it.
Jia Zhen believed that in this way, even if the Rongguo Mansion heard the news, they would not dare to really ask her.I really dare to ask myself, and it is convenient for me to draw a clear line with the Rongguo Mansion!
In this way, everything else is left behind, at least don't expect him to pay a tael of silver for the province's family villa, let alone set aside an inch of space from Ningguo Mansion.
With that money, he asked Jia Rong to buy more land and a few more shops.
Thinking happily, Jia Zhen has returned to her mansion.Seeing that the door had changed, although he didn't know him yet, he also knew that it must be the people brought out by Jiao Da and the others.Nodding to the person, Jia Zhen didn't stop, and went back to the study.
I don't want to see Jia Rong sitting there with a face of resentment as soon as I enter the study, and there is a person sitting next to him. It is Lai Sheng's cousin, Lai Da, the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion!
Once someone returns to his home, some people will sit and wait with a big face first, or the visitor is not kind, or a slave, and his mood will not be too smooth.Jia Zhen didn't even look at Lai Da, she just asked Jia Rong, "Have you done everything you were asked to do?"
Jia Rong had already stood up by herself, took Jia Zhen's big clothes, and said carefully: "It's already in a mess. It's just that the old lady got the news for some reason, please invite father over."
Jia Zhen frowned: "It's just to clean up a few servants in our house, why did you disturb the old lady?" She was complaining about Jia Rong, but why didn't she say it to Lai Da?I cleaned it up by myself, but the servants of Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion came to ask if they stretched their hands a bit longer.
Lai Da could sit upright in front of Jia Rong, but got up early when he saw Jia Zhen.I just wanted to meet Jia Zhen, but Jia Zhen had already asked about Jia Rong.When the master was talking, he, a slave, didn't intervene. It wasn't until Jia Zhen finished speaking that he shouldn't have disturbed the old lady. Only then did Lai Da feel that he, the big housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion and the son of the old lady's confidant Lai Madam, could appear on the stage.
"It's no fault of Uncle Xiao Rong," Lai Da tried his best to put on a trace of humbleness on his face, to show that he still knew his duty.But for a person who has been used to being arrogant for a long time, making such an attitude makes people feel very artificial and awkward.
Jia Zhen asked with a half-smile: "Oh? Could it be that he was ineffective and disturbed the old lady's quietness because of too much noise?"
These words are even more difficult to answer than just now. After all, although the two mansions are on the same street, the area of each mansion is not small. Besides, Jiamu is in the inner house. The Ningguo Mansion has cleaned up a few servants here, but the old man over there knows?
Lai Da's face was even more unsettling: "It's not someone else. It's just that my sister-in-law saw that Uncle Xiao Rong was bringing someone at home, and she copied it indiscriminately. It can be regarded as conscientious, working hard for the master, there is no credit but hard work. So I reported my grievances to the old lady."
Jia Zhen ignored Lai Da's words and scolded Jia Rong directly: "Useless things are just a few servants who stole, you can let one go. You also disturbed the old lady, this is what you do Son?"
Jia Rong felt extremely wronged: "It's not that I didn't let people look at the Lai Sheng family, it's just that Nanny Lai came here in person, and she had to take the Lai Sheng family to answer the old lady..."
The more Jia Rong spoke, the lower her voice became——No matter how respectable Lai Nanny is with Jia Mu, she is still a slave by name, and she is still a slave in someone else's house. In front of him, the master, It's not a glorious thing to just take people away abruptly.
Jia Zhen gave Jia Rong a look of resentment: "It's a useless thing. It's because of these servants in the mansion who go around gossip about the master's right and wrong, and do everything they can to catch wind and shadow, that I let you clean it up. Why, it's a serious thing. The Lord let me go. Go, hurry up and see if the Shuntian Mansion has gone to the Yamen. It is only said that there are escaped slaves in our mansion. Please Shuntian Mansion
But he was not willing to let his son become a useless wretch who could accomplish nothing, and Jia Jing himself was really good at studying, so he planned to transfer Ningguo Mansion from Wu to Wen.
Who knows that Jia Jing won the Jinshi, but he became the first among the noble children to win the Jinshi, which still attracts attention.The old Duke Ning was helpless, in order to prevent people from saying that he was thinking about civil and military affairs, apart from telling Jia Jing a few people who saved lives at critical moments, no one even told Jia Jing that he had personal guards.
Not to mention that Jiao Da, the former head of the personal guard, never let the rumors out, he only said that Jia Jing should treat him kindly.
So under the expressions of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong who dropped their jaws in shock, Jiao Da has already calmly led them to a small courtyard awarded to Jiao Da by Old Ninggong, and saw In the courtyard, the cage of pigeons that have fallen asleep.
Jia Zhen could only secretly complain that Old Ning Guogong cheated people a lot. Who would train a life-saving person like Qinwei into a person soaked in wine lees?He secretly rejoiced that the place where Jiao Da lived was far away from the main courtyard or the Tianxiang Tower, otherwise Qin Keqing would have had to expose himself in that life.
Just watched Jiao Dagui draw a talisman without knowing what he drew on the small half of the parchment, and watched him stuff the scroll into the thin tube on the pigeon's foot, and then Jiao Dayi let go, then The homing pigeon has already taken off.
Jia Zhen asked in disbelief: "Those people live far away. If they don't make it in time, they won't be able to guard against it for two days."
Jiao Da smiled triumphantly at Jia Zhen: "Okay, sir."
Well, your letter has already been sent, who else can read it if you don’t read it?It also feels good to know that there are people outside the mansion protecting him, although he still doesn't know how powerful these people are.But it shouldn't be too bad to make Jiao Da so confident.
Jia Zhen took Jia Rong back to the main courtyard and sent him back to her room to rest before returning to the study by herself.But no matter what he thinks about it, now is not the time for him to rest in peace - Yizhong County King is stable, but how to get to the army is still a big problem.
No matter how the few people Jia Jing handed over to him can speak up in front of the Supreme Emperor, he can't directly ask someone to speak to the Supreme Emperor on his behalf, and then let the Supreme Emperor put pressure on the present, and put him in the army in a daze go.
If he really does this, even if he pinches his nose and admits it now, but when the Supreme Emperor rides a crane to the west, or the Supreme Emperor loses the power to check and balance with the present, he will definitely be the first to directly deal with the Ningguo Mansion— —Isn’t the emperor narrow-minded?
Jia Zhen is not afraid that she will be killed. Anyway, as long as he doesn't commit suicide, the system can't stand him.But the other half of the task, ensuring that the Ningguo Mansion's incense will last forever is empty talk-there will be eggs under the nest.
So Jia Zhen has already decided, that is, she will directly submit the paper and ask to go to the frontier to work.Anyway, the matter between him and Qin Keqing was spread like a storm outside, maybe you can hear it today-even people like Yizhong County King have secret guards, if you say there are no secrets today Power, that is self-deception.
On the second day, Jia Zhen didn't need the servant to call, she got up early and quietly practiced the Juli technique in the yard.To say that this thing is better, because Jia Zhen already has the practice experience of Jia Daishan's life, so even if this body is a bit vain, the effect is quite obvious.
Although Jia Zhen is ready to let someone hug her head and get stabbed in case she goes to the battlefield, she can improve her own strength. Who wouldn't want to hug someone's head and stab someone?So he was not stingy at all, and he was very motivated to practice, or at least he was more motivated than Jia Daishan in his life.
After practicing for an hour, Jia Zhen finally gave up. She was already sweating profusely, so she asked the boy to bring hot water to help him take a bath.The boy still felt strange, he obviously didn't see anyone in the room, why is the uncle sweating so much?Could it be that the man walked through the back door?If I reveal this news to the sisters in front of the grandma, how many pockets can I get?
Jia Zhen didn't know that she had already made Xiao Si think of her as a jade-stealing expert.But even if you know it, it's nothing - this is not wrong to the original owner, but to Jia Zhen, he is going to change the servant anyway, so it is also not important.
After seeing Jia Zhen wash up, Jiao Dahou went into the room and said to him: "Master, please send someone to tell that dog Lai Sheng, my old brothers have already arrived outside the mansion, and they brought people along with them." Come on. But who knows who Lai Chang is, but he has to say that he doesn't know these people, and that they are not from the mansion, so he won't let him in."
Is this okay?Jia Zhen frowned: "Didn't you say that I asked you to call him?"
Jiao Da was even more annoyed: "Why didn't you say it. But that dog insisted on saying what I said to be false. Bah, if I really falsely passed on to Grandpa, it would be the dog's turn to show off in the mansion."
Jia Zhen asked the servant to find Lai Sheng as soon as possible - if Jiao Da said such a thing before yesterday, Jia Zhen would not believe it, but the cage of pigeons appeared in front of her eyes, if she still did not believe it, That is not to understand the world situation, but not to have a long brain.
Lai Sheng may also be watching Jiao Da's actions, so he came very quickly.He had a flattering smile on his face, and his waist was bent very low. It was obvious that he only listened to his master.
But Jia Zhen didn't let him be intimidated by this appearance, she just asked: "When will my words, sir, be as good as yours in this mansion?"
But Lai Chang couldn't stand these words, so he quickly knelt down by himself: "You are joking, every plant and tree in this mansion belongs to you, so naturally everyone has to listen to you, the younger ones don't dare to say no. "
This kind of servility made Jia Zhen feel even more disgusted: "Then why don't you let Jiao Da find some old people from his grandfather's time to enter the mansion?"
Lai Da made a bitter face: "Where does the uncle know, where did Jiao Da find a few? There are forty or fifty people, and they are all strong. These people have been working for more than 20 years. I have never seen one of my housekeepers. If there are few people, there are many servants in the mansion, and what happens can be controlled. But if there are so many people, if they really have bad intentions, they will be the servants of the mansion. Together, it can't be restrained."
"Fart." Jiao Da scolded directly from the side: "Those three old people have fought their lives together with the Duke of the country. How dare you say you don't know them? The others are also their disciples and grandchildren. Why? You will have evil intentions to murder your master! It is clear that you deliberately made things difficult for me."
Hearing that there were so many people here, Jia Zhen was quite determined, and at the same time asked the young man to go out to pass on his words, and brought those people directly to the yard of her study, and then asked someone to call Jia Rong—then The boy is the heir of this mansion, and he is about to go to Jinling alone again, so he should be shown how to deal with the servants.
You know, in the old Jinling house, there are not only servants, but also some members of the Jia family.Those people must have contributed a lot to the Jia family's ability to get the Jinling Official Protector Talisman, and they have to be dealt with.
Jia Zhen gave instructions and calls, but Lai Sheng was not allowed to get up.No matter if it was the second master in the mansion, in front of the real master, or the original master who would go straight to him if he disagreed with him, Lai Sheng could only continue to kneel obediently.
He knew that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong met Jiao Da last night, but he didn't know what Jiao Da had said to the two masters.Thinking about these years, I really didn't bring any benefits to Jiao Da, and I felt a little guilty.That's why Jiao Da went to pick up the person in front of the mansion today, so he made the decision in private and stopped the person.
But the people he arranged could stop others, but they couldn't stop Jiao Da, a drunk man. He watched Jiao Da run to the uncle's study in a hurry, and hurriedly reported to Lai Sheng.
Lai Sheng got the news, although he didn't know that Jia Zhen was going to clean up her, but he also felt that it might not be a good thing - if it really had nothing to do with him, then why didn't the uncle let him do it, but let Mrs. Jiao Da The goods stand up again?
It can only be said that thieves are thieves with wisdom. It is not for nothing that Lai Sheng has been the chief steward of dozens of Ningguo Mansions.He was careful there, and thought about what he should do if the uncle asked about it—Jiao Da had no reason not to complain to the uncle—in order to deepen the impression that his loyalty was the main thing, and let the uncle deepen Some.
No matter what happened to Lai Sheng, the people Jia Rong and Jiao Da called for had already arrived.But it was Jia Rong who went straight into the study, while the people Jiao Da called were still waiting in the yard to listen to the orders from inside.
Jia Zhen looked at Jiao Da: "I can't see so many people for a while, why don't I just see your brothers."
Jiao Da had no objection to this, he went out in person and brought in three old men whose hair was as white as Jiao Da's.The three old men and Jiao Da stood there, and each of them saw that their hair was white and their eyes were cloudy, but their expressions were not loose, and they looked like they were standing loosely. Do not allow people to straighten their backs.
To these people, Jia Zhen was still very polite: "I invite you to come here today. It is true that if the house is not cleaned up, you will not know who is the master and who is the slave. I have been sorry to you before. , let me finish cleaning up these lawless slaves, and then apologize to you all. I still have to rely on you today."
The eyes of the three old men became moist, but they didn't shed tears. They only said at the beginning: "You can't take what you say. It is our brother's duty to be loyal to the mansion. You just give orders." Jiao Da Just nodded together with the other two.
When Lai Sheng heard this, his mind was shattered—this servant who should be dealt with in this mansion, what is there not to understand when looking at the situation in the house?I must be the first.He said to Jia Zhen with some reluctance: "The mansion has just gone through the affairs of Grandma Xiaorong, so many slaves are doing their best. The uncle doesn't want to reward people, but cleans up people. I'm afraid the slaves will be dissatisfied , I accidentally went on errand."
Jia Zhen smiled slightly: "Whether they are dissatisfied or you are dissatisfied, we all know that. Besides, as a servant, shouldn't you serve the master? If you put in a little effort and want to be rewarded, then those who have not done it for many years Are the old people on errands convinced or not?"
The four old men laughed together, making Lai Sheng flushed with embarrassment.Jia Zhen ignored his reaction, and said to Jia Rong: "It turns out that you only follow me to do things, and you have little experience. Today, I will leave the cleaning up of the slaves to you, and you will take Jiao Da and the others to do it yourself. Well done, the government If you can survive for another two years, you can also live a relaxed life for two years. If you run anticlimactically, it is you who will suffer in the future."
Jia Rong didn't know what to do, and asked, "Then the father?"
Jia Zhen just smiled, but there was some decisiveness in that smile: "I'm going to go out of the mansion to find the door, and ask someone to give me a book." Jia Rong knew that he still wanted to go to the army.
Yesterday, Jia Rong already felt that she was useless and let her father run around for her own life.Listening to Jia Zhen's words now, I feel that if I don't deal with these servants in a submissive manner, I will be sorry for Jia Zhen seeking to survive.
He bowed to Jia Zhen, and then bent down to Jiao Da: "I don't have any regulations on how to do things today, so I ask Jiao Da to give you more advice."
Jiao Dazao turned his body sideways and passed Jia Rong's gift, but he said to Jia Zhen: "If the uncle goes out, the servants in the mansion don't need to take it with him anymore. Why don't you choose a few from the people in the yard?" Come here to keep the uncle safe."
Jia Zhen just had this intention, and she was afraid that they would not have enough manpower: "I can go out by myself. If you don't have enough manpower, it will delay the work."
Jiao Da looked at Lai Sheng who was still kneeling on the ground with some disdain: "There are thirty people, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with this soft-witted guy? It's just relying on the dignity given by the master. There are about ten more, It was originally prepared for Uncle and Uncle Xiao Rong."
Jia Zhen stopped pleading and asked Jiao Da to call in the people who had prepared for him.Jiao Da saw that there was no room left in the house, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go out and meet everyone. They have been told to serve their master since they were young, but we are disrespectful and make them There is also no chance to see the golden face of the master."
Such nonsensical words lead Jia Zhen and Jia Rong to laugh and leave the room together.There were 50 or [-] people standing in the yard darkly, and the martial arts practitioners were half a head taller than ordinary people, which made both father and son feel threatened.
Jia Zhen knew that in such an occasion, it was common sense to speak up by herself. She took a step forward and nodded to those people: "Everyone, work hard today. Jiao Dadu has already told me about your daily hardships. Don't worry about everything before. Ti, just say that in the future, as long as you spend your life on errands, I won't treat you badly."
Four or fifty people responded with a bang, although it was a bit dull, it was still neat.Jia Zhen nodded her head approvingly.With Jia Zhen's approval, Jiao Da raised his head a little higher, and shouted to the people below: "If you want to be a follower for Uncle and Uncle Xiaorong, come out."
Twelve people walked out of the crowd one after another.The twelve people seemed to be the youngest in the group, all of them were wearing Tsing Yi bunts, boots that kicked dead cows on their feet, and they were all about the same stature, even Jia Zhen couldn't tell who was who.
He intentionally saw that he had practiced the Juli Technique for a day, but there was no effect, so he stepped forward and gave each of the twelve people a palm push.The twelve people also heard that their master was originally for fun, so they didn't care about his palm at first.
Unexpectedly, the first person was directly pushed by Jia Zhen, and the second person's palm landed on his body, and his body was tilted.The next one didn't think too much about it, and had already gotten lucky, but Jia Zhen still pushed him and shook him, and the rest of them were not much better.
Jia Zhen smiled at Jiao Dao: "That's right, I have some strength."
Jiao Da looked at Jia Zhen's eyes, which were already full of splendor.He only thought that Jia Zhen was hiding her clumsiness on weekdays, and he didn't tell the truth in front of others. He just said, "Master, please choose someone first."
Jia Zhen was not polite, and directly picked six of the relatively weaker ones - he himself had a great strength technique to defend himself, and those few stronger ones would be better in skill, so I left it to Jia Rong, a weak chicken, to protect him. It's all right.
If Jia Rong can't see it, can Jiao Da not see it?His position on Jia Zhen was higher, but he still didn't point it out. He only said to the six people: "Master thinks highly of you, and I chose you to go in and out with him. You also knew what you should do since you were young, just don't lose it." That's the old face of us people."
The six people had already knelt down, their knees touched the ground, but their upper bodies were still straight: "I would like to work hard for the uncle. Please give me a name."
Jia Zhen heard that these people didn't have names yet, and she didn't think that when she thought of her first life, she had never fulfilled her wish, and her bad taste came up again, and she called them all the way down: "From now on, you will be called: Xianyan, Guyan , Yanyan, Xiandan, Gudan, Yuandan." The six people listened and thanked the uncle for his name.
Jia Zhen didn't say any more, and motioned to Jiao Da: "Rong'er will leave it to you." She took Xianyan, Guyan, Xiandan, and Gudan to go out together, leaving Yanyan and Yuandan behind. Listen to the news, so that when I come back, I will learn to listen to the process for myself.
After riding away from the gate of the mansion, Jia Zhen remembered something, and said to Xianyan: "I forgot, are you familiar with the roads in Beijing? Where can I find out about all the mansions?"
Now Yan might not be used to talking with his master, and when Jia Zhen asked, she was a little embarrassed, which made Jia Zhen laugh.But what he said is still very reliable: "Going back to the uncle, our brothers still know the roads in the capital, and even the familiar adults in the mansion live in their homes, so we can calculate where they live."
Jia Zhen nodded immediately, and asked again: "Do any of you know how to read?" Don't answer a post at that time, even if you don't know who sent it, or if you want to go to Zhang's house, they will send it to you. The Li family has gone.
Those few people all nodded their heads together, and they still said what they said: "I learned a few words along with me, and I can read the commonly used ones."
That's enough, and Jia Zhen doesn't have too many demands.It seems that Jiao Da and the others really care about these people.I just want to teach these people how to practice martial arts and teach them how to read, which costs a lot of money. Where did these old men get their money from?Jia Zhen took this matter down in her heart, thinking that when she returned home, no matter how good she was to ask Jiao Da, she couldn't let a few servants post money to train her servants.
Da Ma arrived in front of Feng Tang's mansion, Jia Zhen motioned for Xian Yan to come and post a post, Jia Zhen just sat on the horse and waited for a reply, and also wanted to see if Xian Yan, the young servant who took office for the first time, would It means that he will deal with noble slaves.
I saw that after Xian Yan dismounted, he first handed the horse to his companion, then adjusted his clothes, and then walked to the front of Feng's house.There was already a disciple of the Feng family, and when they saw a group of people coming from afar, they had already started sizing them up.Some people who knew Jia Zhen also came forward with a smile when they saw the words coming.
That Xianyan didn't become conceited just because others laughed, and although Jia Zhen couldn't see his face with his back turned, it can also be seen from the enlarged smile on the face of the servant of the Feng family that Xianyan must not Will be stern.
Seeing that Xianyan preemptively saluted the visitor, and handed over the post in his hands.The doorman of Feng's family glanced at Jia Zhen with a penitent smile, slapped thousands from a distance, and said something to the current words, then took the post and flew towards the door.
Xianyan was not in a hurry to come back to give Jia Zhen an order, but stood still for a while, waiting for another door to come to him, and then came to Jia Zhen's horse together with others.Now I went to my companion to pick up my horse, and the family members of Feng's family had already arrived in front of Jia Zhen's horse, and said neatly: "It's Mr. Jia, he came very early today. Please come in and sit in the gatehouse for a while. , have a cup of tea, our master will definitely welcome you in person."
This is also the rule of the aristocratic family. It is not said that people are released into the house without the master's consent.But it's not good to neglect the guests, please go to the concierge to drink a cup of tea and have a rest.
Jia Zhen was very satisfied with her performance, she patted her horse and took two steps forward, and waited until she got closer to the gate of the mansion before dismounting, and followed Feng's family to the gatehouse.Someone had brought tea a long time ago, and Jia Zhen only took a few glances at the furnishings in the room, and thought of how she would tell her plans if she saw Feng Tang later, so that she could act in the future.
Therefore, putting Feng Tang's first stop in seeking to join the army, Jia Zhen also had his own considerations.After all, it can be seen for several generations that this Feng Tang is also a diehard loyalist of the Yizhong lineage, and compared with Qin Bangye, this person has more weight in speaking to the King of Yizhong.
Yesterday, Jia Zhen persuaded Qin Bangye to preserve his blood, so that the words could reach the ears of Yizhong County King, so that he would not interfere with Jia Zhen's ability to join the army.Today I came to see Feng Tang, but it was to convince Yizhong County King that the reason why Jia Zhen went to join the army was not because she really had any connections in her hands, but because she was tired of love. After finding out the actions of Rongguo Mansion, she wanted to follow suit. During the trip of the ancestors, he went to fight for a foothold in the army, so that he could seek justice for Qin Keqing from the Rongguo Mansion in the future.
After a while, I heard someone laughing outside: "I thought Brother Zhen would spend a few days in the mansion, but I didn't expect to come to the door today. I didn't say it earlier. with friends."
It was none other than Feng Ziying, known as the Four Heroes of the Red Chamber.This makes sense, although Feng Tang is not very successful now, but he is a figure of the same generation as Jia Jing, and there is no reason for him to personally welcome this junior.
Although Jia Zhen also had a smile on her face, there was a little sadness on her face, making the smile superficial: "I just came to bid farewell to old man Feng, so I don't want to drink any wine."
Feng Ziying asked a little strangely: "Well, I haven't heard where you are going, so why are you talking about farewell?" He extended his hand to Jia Zhen and asked him to go first.
The original owner of the Feng family didn't come here once or twice, and there was a young servant leading the way in front of him. Jia Zhen only talked with Feng Ziying all the way: "You know a thing or two, I'm not feeling well now, and I don't have the face to walk around in Beijing." , wanting to go out for a while. It’s fine with other people, but the old man has to say goodbye here, so as to live up to our friendship.”
Feng Ziying wanted to ask again, but seeing that Jia Zhen's face was full of desolation, she couldn't open her mouth even if she wanted to tease her, so she walked slowly into Feng Tang's study with him.
After entering the room, Feng Tang also put down what he was doing and was waiting for the two of them.After receiving Jia Zhen's gift, he asked, "Why are you so busy in the house today? Are you free to come and sit with me?"
Jia Zhen changed it all into a wry smile: "The old man is still covering it up for me. Even if it is difficult to talk about this matter, but even if it has come out, and another life has been taken, I think I know everything I should know."
Feng Tang looked at Jia Zhen with a hint of contempt, but he could still hold it: "It's not a big deal for anyone who hasn't got a fever. Besides, people have already passed away, and death is as important as death." If the lights are off, it can be covered for any serious matter."
As if Jia Zhen had heard it, she forcibly put away the bitterness on her face, and said to Feng Tang: "My nephew came to the door today, not for anything else. It's just that I can't let people stay in the nunnery all the time. Send Ling back to Jinling to be buried in the earth for peace. And myself, I also want to go to the frontier to serve."
The color on Feng Tang's face finally changed: "This is nonsense. When your first wife left, didn't you just remarry, let alone..."
Jia Zhen shook her head: "What's the difference? It turns out that my first wife was just ordered by my parents to prolong the birth of children. But she is different in the end."
Feng Tang looked at Jia Zhen in surprise. For people like them, how could a woman affect a man so far?He tentatively asked: "No matter how different it is, it's just a woman."
But Jia Zhen still shook her head: "It's different. Besides, she didn't deserve to die. It was those people who came to her one by one for the sake of their family's wealth, and then drove them to a dead end. I'm a useless person now. She is capable, but I can't watch her die like this for nothing. I have to go to the army to earn some money, if one day I can be like my ancestors, hmph, one Rongguo Mansion, and the other only works as a female historian in the palace..." Speaking of this , he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and shut up directly.
However, the information that could be disclosed still made Feng Tang understand, that Qin Keqing's death was inseparable from the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention, it was because of the eldest girl who was sent to the palace by the Rongguo Mansion, that she forced her to death. Qin Keqing.
Feng Tang acted in disbelief: "Your two governments have always been one of Ning Rong. It must not be the case."
Jia Zhen's face showed anger: "Why not. I know that the relationship between Uncle Feng and that mansion is closer than that of our mansion. But the old man should think about it, why do they have to take a good daughter-in-law? Send it to the palace? Anyway, for such a family, I only want to save face. Even my younger sister has been taken back to the mansion to be raised by me. Don't let me stand out. When I really have a day, our two houses have A day when bridges return to bridges and roads return."
What he said was so solemn that Feng Tang had to believe that he said it from the bottom of his heart.He was also afraid that he might have connections with Lord Xianning. This trip would be like a bird going into the mountains and a dragon returning to the sea, and he pretended to persuade people:
"Even if your grandfather still has one or two old acquaintances in the army, I'm afraid he hasn't contacted him for many years. What's more, what age are you now, and it's not the time when you were young to fight with strength."
When Jia Zhen heard Feng Tang say this, bitterness appeared on her face again.As if afraid of being seen by others, the bitterness will disappear in an instant.But Feng Tang kept paying attention to him, and he saw Jia Zhen forced a smile on his face: "I asked my father yesterday, I don't think my father is not familiar with military affairs because he was born in the imperial examination. Shangxin. Grandpa left in a hurry, and there was no time to explain anything to the old man."
Feng Tang still didn't believe it, but what he asked was: "Why did your father agree?"
Jia Zhen smiled wryly: "It's not like old man Feng didn't know what kind of virtue the slaves in our mansion are these years. If these slaves weren't talking too much, how would the mansion know!" There was viciousness in the words: "Hmph, the left and right are just slaves. I can't deal with the people in that house now, and I can't deal with my own slaves. Now my stupid son is copying the homes of those slaves. I don't want to listen to their ghosts. This I just came to disturb the old man."
Before Feng Tang could tell whether Jia Jing agreed, he insisted on asking: "How many people in your mansion were recruited by your parents at that time, you should save some face for them."
Jia Zhen sneered: "Save face for him? I'm going to die. He doesn't know about it. He doesn't have anything useful. He can only watch me die on the battlefield one day. What face do you need? Shed tears, what's the use of shedding tears!" The tone of the voice was indescribably unfeeling, unwilling, and unwilling!
Only then did Feng Tang understand that he didn't get any help from Jia Jing, so he was thinking of finding useful people from him.Put on a sympathetic face: "Even if your father has nothing there, then you don't have to go to the army."
But Jia Zhen cried out reluctantly: "But if I don't go to the army, I will just live as before. I still have to let the mansion come and go. Besides, she will die in vain! I want Avenge her."
Come on, you are a lover.But Feng Tang looked down on such a person who only knew how to indulge in his children's affair.He continued to act as if trying to persuade Jia Zhen, but he was thinking in his heart, how should he tell the king of Yizhong County this information—seeing that Ningguo Mansion really has no contacts at all, so there is no need to waste manpower to keep an eye on them house.
But the Rongguo Mansion should remind the prince to be more careful.And the eldest girl of the Rongguo Mansion who has already entered the palace, she also has to be careful.
He also said some words of no salt and less vinegar, Jia Zhen saw that she could not get any help from Feng Tang, so she got up unwillingly and left.Before leaving, he reminded Feng Tang: "The old man has to stay far away from that mansion. They can still deal with people of my family so cruelly, not to mention that the old man and them are just for the sake of the grandfather of the previous country. Come on. Maybe at any time, the old man will be stabbed in the back. Even... the old man should remind me."
So far, Feng Tang has fully believed Jia Zhen's words that she wants to compete with Rong Guoji - in front of herself, who is obviously closer to Rong Guo Mansion, Jia Zhen will spare no effort to pick and choose, let alone others.It is the last sentence, I am afraid that he is thinking of letting the prince take action, and he took advantage of his wish to clean up the Rongguo Mansion.
According to Feng Tang's thinking, he should teach the Rongguo Mansion some lessons.But the situation is stronger than the people, and now the power of the prince is getting worse than that of Prince Xianyizhong, so he can only recharge his energy and store up his strength first, so that he can plan for the future.
After coming out of Feng's house, Jia Zhen's face relaxed a little when she was far away from the gate of the mansion.But he couldn't go back to the mansion yet. Instead, he paid homage to those families who had some friendship with the Ningguo mansion and were close to the King of Yizhong County. The words he said were similar to those in Feng Tang's mansion: one is farewell, The second is to accuse Rongguo Mansion of injustice, and the third is to remind everyone to be more careful about Rongguo Mansion.
He is not afraid that some of these people's families have sincere friendship with the Rongguo Mansion and will spread the word to the Rongguo Mansion-although there is no evidence for this, but the Rongguo Mansion, especially Mrs. Wang, really made a move. Wait a few days For Jia Yuanchun to become a concubine, others have to believe what he said today if they don't believe it.
Jia Zhen believed that in this way, even if the Rongguo Mansion heard the news, they would not dare to really ask her.I really dare to ask myself, and it is convenient for me to draw a clear line with the Rongguo Mansion!
In this way, everything else is left behind, at least don't expect him to pay a tael of silver for the province's family villa, let alone set aside an inch of space from Ningguo Mansion.
With that money, he asked Jia Rong to buy more land and a few more shops.
Thinking happily, Jia Zhen has returned to her mansion.Seeing that the door had changed, although he didn't know him yet, he also knew that it must be the people brought out by Jiao Da and the others.Nodding to the person, Jia Zhen didn't stop, and went back to the study.
I don't want to see Jia Rong sitting there with a face of resentment as soon as I enter the study, and there is a person sitting next to him. It is Lai Sheng's cousin, Lai Da, the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion!
Once someone returns to his home, some people will sit and wait with a big face first, or the visitor is not kind, or a slave, and his mood will not be too smooth.Jia Zhen didn't even look at Lai Da, she just asked Jia Rong, "Have you done everything you were asked to do?"
Jia Rong had already stood up by herself, took Jia Zhen's big clothes, and said carefully: "It's already in a mess. It's just that the old lady got the news for some reason, please invite father over."
Jia Zhen frowned: "It's just to clean up a few servants in our house, why did you disturb the old lady?" She was complaining about Jia Rong, but why didn't she say it to Lai Da?I cleaned it up by myself, but the servants of Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion came to ask if they stretched their hands a bit longer.
Lai Da could sit upright in front of Jia Rong, but got up early when he saw Jia Zhen.I just wanted to meet Jia Zhen, but Jia Zhen had already asked about Jia Rong.When the master was talking, he, a slave, didn't intervene. It wasn't until Jia Zhen finished speaking that he shouldn't have disturbed the old lady. Only then did Lai Da feel that he, the big housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion and the son of the old lady's confidant Lai Madam, could appear on the stage.
"It's no fault of Uncle Xiao Rong," Lai Da tried his best to put on a trace of humbleness on his face, to show that he still knew his duty.But for a person who has been used to being arrogant for a long time, making such an attitude makes people feel very artificial and awkward.
Jia Zhen asked with a half-smile: "Oh? Could it be that he was ineffective and disturbed the old lady's quietness because of too much noise?"
These words are even more difficult to answer than just now. After all, although the two mansions are on the same street, the area of each mansion is not small. Besides, Jiamu is in the inner house. The Ningguo Mansion has cleaned up a few servants here, but the old man over there knows?
Lai Da's face was even more unsettling: "It's not someone else. It's just that my sister-in-law saw that Uncle Xiao Rong was bringing someone at home, and she copied it indiscriminately. It can be regarded as conscientious, working hard for the master, there is no credit but hard work. So I reported my grievances to the old lady."
Jia Zhen ignored Lai Da's words and scolded Jia Rong directly: "Useless things are just a few servants who stole, you can let one go. You also disturbed the old lady, this is what you do Son?"
Jia Rong felt extremely wronged: "It's not that I didn't let people look at the Lai Sheng family, it's just that Nanny Lai came here in person, and she had to take the Lai Sheng family to answer the old lady..."
The more Jia Rong spoke, the lower her voice became——No matter how respectable Lai Nanny is with Jia Mu, she is still a slave by name, and she is still a slave in someone else's house. In front of him, the master, It's not a glorious thing to just take people away abruptly.
Jia Zhen gave Jia Rong a look of resentment: "It's a useless thing. It's because of these servants in the mansion who go around gossip about the master's right and wrong, and do everything they can to catch wind and shadow, that I let you clean it up. Why, it's a serious thing. The Lord let me go. Go, hurry up and see if the Shuntian Mansion has gone to the Yamen. It is only said that there are escaped slaves in our mansion. Please Shuntian Mansion
