73. Raid the house
As soon as Baoyu rushed in, she saw her grandmother fainting to the ground, her head hitting the floor hard, and her mother got up in a panic to help. Baoyu shook off Mrs. Wang's hand, helped her grandmother up, and shouted in a loud voice: "Go and ask the imperial doctor, quickly, quickly, please ask the imperial doctor." ”
When Jia Min arrived, Jia's mother was already unconscious, and the imperial doctor's meaning was very clear, "When you are old, you suddenly hit your head, and it is very likely that you will bleed." Now I can only prescribe some drugs to invigorate blood and dispel stasis, and because of physical reasons, I can't take strong drugs. If you can wake up in three days, it's okay to say, if it's ...... You have to prepare in advance. ”
"My lord, if you want to use any medicine, we ......" Jia Zheng was already crying in front of the imperial doctor.
"It's not a matter of medicine, do your best, let it be fate." The imperial doctor shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Jia's mother's condition.
Jia Min went back to her parents' house to serve Jia's mother, her clothes were untied, and she was as thin as a piece of paper, Jingyu really couldn't do anything, so she invited her sister to come over and persuade her mother.
Daiyu came over, looked at her grandmother who was lying motionless, and then looked at her mother, and said ruthlessly: "It is God's will that grandmother can't wake up, but the blessings and misfortunes of the Jia family are just around the corner, and it is better for my mother to make plans early." ”
"Why should I care if they live or die, if it weren't for my mother, what could I have to do with them. Wang, this slut, killed my mother, and she brought it upon herself to get to the point, and it has nothing to do with people. Jia Min snorted coldly, didn't the second brother take advantage of her in Jiafu to come over and kiss, wanting to ask Lin Ruhai for help.
If it was before, she didn't know how to refuse, but this time, she glanced at her second brother directly and threw down two words, "It's late." ”
Not everyone has regret medicine to take in their lives, and not everyone has the ability to turn the tide. The words that have been spoken, the roads traveled, and the things that have been done are like nails driven into a stake one by one, and they will leave traces when they are pulled out.
The new emperor took office, and in his eyes, the Rongguo Mansion, which had made a big mistake, had not stopped at all. The excerpts of the impeachment of the Rongguo Mansion flew like snowflakes and piled up on the desk, and the Rongguo Mansion released the seal money that the government had expressly forbidden, and took in Miaoyu, the daughter of the criminal official, as a nun in the Jia Mansion. Jia pardon does not cultivate his private morality, Jia Lian takes care of the outer room, including the recent Mrs. Wang's crazy statement that the fourteenth prince is the one who inherits the unification, and the old lady of Jiafu who is disobedient and angry, etc.
"I really don't know how these people found out, it's more than the spirit behind it." Hongyun felt tricky, "Ama and I are already angry, and I have taken the matter of Uncle Fourteen on top, and I estimate that it is almost inseparable." ”
"What is unexpected, when the emperor is in the palace, he is clean and self-conscious, and he does not have a wide range of friends, and he has no friendship with many people. At this time, if you want to stammer, if you want to please, the best way is to look at your eyes, how many people are staring at the maiden family of the virtuous concubine. If you really want to find a way, there is nothing you can't ask about. Daiyu knew that Mother Jia had only been here for a few days, and she only took pity on her children and grandchildren in Manchuria, and she was still immersed in the fairy town, and she didn't smell the crisis in front of her at all.
"It's just, Uncle Fourteen, how could he calculate it so clearly?" Daiyu had always had questions, but she didn't have time to ask. The fourteenth elder brother was leading troops outside, how could he suddenly rush back to Jinling, whether he was edicted or not. How did he learn that the emperor's condition had deteriorated, and he happened to lead people to force the palace on the night of his death.
"The imperial uncle and the fourteenth uncle are the same mother." Hongyun only said this, but Daiyu understood. Concubine De was born in Baoyi, and she used to serve the queen in the palace, if you want to say who knows the emperor best, it must be her.
Daiyu was silent for a while, "Your Majesty, he must be very bitter in his heart." "To get the world, but not to get the approval of my mother, this taste must be like choking in my throat.
"Whoever can make the emperor bitter in his heart, the emperor can make whoever suffers, and who is bitter is not necessarily." Hongyun smiled and took her hand.
Hongyun is not wrong in what he said, the fourteenth elder brother was escorted to the imperial mausoleum, as a person guarding the mausoleum, and he was not allowed to leave unless he was edicted. The eight elder brothers and the nine elder brothers are all forbidden by edict to be investigated.
Jia Min's filial piety failed to recall Jia's mother, and after three days of coma, she died of illness. Lin Ruhai went in person and had a secret conversation with Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's brothers, persuading them to hand in the petition for guilt, return the title, scatter all the family wealth, and propose to the emperor to return to their hometown to live.
Jia Yu and Jia Zheng looked at each other and promised that he would consider it. Lin Ruhai saw that they were still lucky, shook his head and stopped, and went back to sigh to his wife, "Do they think everyone is the first emperor?" ”
Kangxi is lenient to the old ministers and kind to the descendants of the lord, the two brothers of the Jia family grew up in such an environment, and they have become accustomed to the emperor's style of acting is leniency and generosity. But I forgot that there is a saying in this world, once a son of heaven and a courtier.
Jia's mother's head passed on the seventh day, and the holy decree of raiding the house was issued. The emperor sat firmly in the Dragon Court, looked at his thirteenth brother, and seemed to smile, "Give your daughter-in-law a face, okay." ”
"The emperor is merciful, and the emperor is sacred." Prince Yi arched his hand, as if he couldn't see the emperor's mockery, a rare seriousness.
The emperor, who knew his true nature, snorted coldly, "I gave you face, and what you mentioned before should have never happened." ”
Hey, this can't be done, Prince Yi hurriedly stepped forward and flattered: "Fourth brother, this is what you promised me." ”
"Did I say yes?" Emperor Yongzheng, who was as cunning as a fox, sneered again.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Prince Yi, who was like a little white rabbit, nodded violently.
"Just as I agreed, the time is up to me." Hehe, if you want to trap me, you're still a little tender.
Heaven and earth, I actually forgot to add a time to this promise, "When the ministers and brothers go again in their seventies and eighties, they won't be able to drive the boat." ”
"With this empty tooth grinding, is everything done?"
Where is the end of the matter, such a big country, there are things every day, and there are disasters here and there, when can it be stopped. I really want to do something practical, let alone a day, I can't rest even for an hour.
"Brother Chen, go immediately." Prince Yi felt a regret in his heart, it was really painful.
He is a man who wants to conquer the sea of stars, how can he stay here and waste his youth. He has waited for so many years, just waiting for the fourth brother to take the throne, if he can't fulfill his wish, wouldn't it be a trip in vain.
Back at the palace, Zhao Jia's family came out, "The master is back, what's going on in Jiafu, just copy it." "It's fast, it's jaw-dropping.
"What's so strange about this kind of brainless knighthood being one less one. Does the emperor still have to spend money to support them, it is better to raise pigs, at least they can eat meat. Prince Yi sneered, he couldn't sympathize with this kind of person at all.
"The Jia family is the daughter-in-law's maternal grandfather." Zhao Jiashi really didn't know what mood to use to look at this matter.
"It's said that it's my grandfather's house, and Lord Lin will watch it. Although it is the emperor's order, if the daughter-in-law wants to do something, don't stop it, you don't have to look cold. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Zhao Jiashi understood, frowned, and persuaded him again: "Don't rely on the holy grace of the master, you don't care about anything." used to be the fourth brother, but now he is the emperor. ”
"I know what I know." Prince Yi changed into his regular clothes, "Hurry up and get some hot soup to drink, the wind blowing outside is cold in the bones of people." ”
The cell where everyone in Jia Mansion was imprisoned was also cold, the biting cool breeze, not to mention the charcoal basin, the cold ground was not even laid with any thatch. Mrs. Wang sat alone in a corner, silent. Everyone else was far away from her, and when they first came in, everyone still had the strength to scold, but now, they don't even have the strength to scold.
Li Kun took Jia Lan back to her parents' house, she is a widow, she is a free body, and she can remarry at any time. As soon as something happened in Jiafu, the Li family stepped forward and took back her dowry, and because Jia Lan was still young, he took her out.
The others were not so lucky, and they were arrested in a fit of annoyance, and they were sent to prison for men and women, and they waited for the sentence from above, and they should be killed and exiled, so that they could act.
Daiyu went back to see her mother, and Jia Min told her vigorously, "You can't go to that kind of pickled place, no matter who says anything in front of you, don't be soft-hearted, just push it all on me." I am the daughter of the Jia family, but you are the granddaughter, so it has nothing to do with you. ”
The royal people have complicated thoughts, Hongyun has three younger brothers, and a room of concubines with status, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for my daughter. Jia Min didn't allow her daughter to get involved in this matter, it was enough to have her.
"Mother, what will my uncle do?"
"Your father wants to end the matter quickly, although the emperor has dealt with them, but the presiding judge will also depend on your father's affection, and he will not deliberately toss them. What I mean is also that it is better to judge early, to redeem and to release, and to have a charter to do things. Jia Min said that she didn't care about them, but if she was really sentenced, she would be exiled or imprisoned, she couldn't think about it, but in case she was filled into the sect or an official slave, she would always have to find a way to redeem people.
"I heard that the Xue family wanted to leave the book, but the second sister-in-law didn't agree." Daiyu was also asked by Grandma Xue to beg her to do this. But in the end, Baochai himself was unwilling, saying that life is Baoyu's person, and death is Baoyu's ghost, and he will never be separated.
"Yes, I really didn't expect that she had done the right thing in her life, and this daughter-in-law was a good choice." When Jia Min thought of Mrs. Wang, it was easy to blame her for the fault, but if the two elder brothers stood up, why would they let a woman mess with the family.
"It's a good thing that they don't have a lord, no matter how much they mess around in the future, they won't be able to make a big deal about raiding the family and exterminating the clan." Jia Min laughed at herself, watching her mother's family slide down the abyss step by step, the feeling in her heart was indescribable.
On this day, after the spring flowers bloomed, the title of Rongguo Mansion was withdrawn by the emperor, and the family property was confiscated. Jia Yu was a prostitute during the national filial piety period, colluded with Jia Yucun, and forced people to die for an ancient fan. He was dismissed from his official position and confiscated into the army, and he was never allowed to return to Jinling.
Jia Zhengwei was thin and did not cultivate, indulged in his wife to do illegal things, was dismissed from his official position, and sentenced to exile.
Except for Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng, who died in prison, everyone else was released. was not used as an official slave, nor was he sent to the Department of Teaching, which is already a great luck in misfortune.
The people came out, and all the domestic slaves were confiscated as domestic property and were sold. Several masters supported each other to come out, except for dirty and smelly clothes, there was nothing long.
Jia Min sent someone to wait for them outside, but Baochai didn't go with them, and the Xue family also waited outside early, to take their daughter and son-in-law back to Xue's house. Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao had a small grange that Tanchun asked them to come to at the beginning, and they didn't think it was rare at the time, but now they have saved their lives. Mrs. Xing returned to her parents' house, and in the end, only Jia Lian was left with her daughter Sister Qiao, and there was nowhere to go.
"Second Master Chain, please get in the car." The people sent by Jia Min only picked up their father and daughter.
Jia Min didn't arrange for them to enter the house, so he sent them to a small courtyard in the city, and the next person jumped off the lane: "You and Miss live first, and there are also silver tickets and a sentence handed over by Mrs. Xiao." ”
Jia Lian took it and saw that it was a silver ticket of five hundred, how could he have seen these in his eyes before, but now, it has become life-saving money. Squeezing her daughter's hand tightly, her face, which had been stiff for several months and expressionless, was filled with a hint of bitterness.
The next person arched his hand, "You can live in this house all the time, and you don't have to move in a hurry." It's just that the emperor personally circled the judgment, and the lady is not easy to behave, so please forgive the second master. It means a one-time buyout, and there will be no more light exchanges in the future.
"What else is the second master of Lian, where is there any master, aunt is very kind, Jia Lian can't repay it, just kowtow to her here." As he spoke, he kowtowed three times in the direction of the Lin family, took the silver ticket in one hand, and took his daughter in the other, and walked in.
The three small courtyards that Jia Min originally prepared, 1,500 taels of silver, were sent to one-third. Now that everyone else is settled, she is relieved.
Count out another two hundred taels and ask people to bring Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, at least to make a little difference on the way. It is better to live than to die.
Daiyu knew her mother's arrangement, and a stone fell to the ground. She knew in her heart that the emperor was taking it lightly. If it is according to his temperament, the Jia family will at least cut off a few heads, and the rest will be slaves in line with his style.
She kept working on her hands, and the last stitch was finally finished, one was a sweat blue waist seal, embroidered with the four-clawed python that could be used on the prince's clothing. The other piece that has been embroidered a long time ago is a pair of insoles, and the top is embroidered with gradient peony flowers, which is very laborious.
"You are diligent in embroidering for Ama and Eniang, why don't you say that you will embroider a few pieces for me." Hongyun looked at the jealousy, and came over to look at it. He can't use the insole, he can't use the pattern of the waist seal, and he can't grab it even if he wants to.
"That's all I can do, and there are some things I can't say thank you to my face, but I know it in my heart. It's not Prince Yi's mansion, it's not Amma, my grandfather's family will not have such a result, I don't want to affect others, but the result is still stained with your light. Daiyu sighed, Jiafu has always been a stone in her heart, knowing that they are going to fall, counting and counting to this day, with such a result, it is much better than she expected.
Hongyun touched Daiyu's head, "What are you talking about, aren't you the daughter-in-law of Prince Yi's mansion, how can you be it, it's obviously us." ”
Another piece of news was said, "Ning Guofu was frightened and wrote a plea, I don't want a knighthood." ”
"It's smart, at least you can keep a piece of the family business." Daiyu also wondered why this incident did not affect Ning Guofu, but she didn't expect that this strangeness would have a result in a few days.
Ning Guofu did not raid his house this time, Jia Zhen was imprisoned for a few days, and his head was cut off because of a matter of forcing good people to be cheap. Others don't understand, could it be that what Jia Zhen did was even more hateful than those who were against the emperor in Rongguofu?
No one else can figure it out, only Daiyu has figured it out. Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law who was bullied was born to a daughter in the outer chamber of the abolished prince, and she was of royal blood. If Ning Guofu treats Qin Keqing well, he can also get a good end this time. It's a pity that after marrying Qin Keqing and making this kind of ugly thing, the emperor knew it many years ago, and he can still keep you alive if he endures it to this day?
Jinling City began to raid homes again, and such news was heard for a whole year, only until everyone was numb. When the filial piety period passed and they couldn't help but entertain, a few lively people couldn't wait to hold a banquet, only to find that many familiar people had disappeared and could never appear again.
Wen Ruyan is married to the eldest grandson of the Tian family, this child is equivalent to the first great-grandson of the Tian family, the birth and the full moon are in the filial piety period, it is easy to pass the first birthday, and it can finally be lively. Regardless of whether the Tian family wants to make a big deal or not, as one of the emperor's confidants and ministers, this excitement cannot be saved.
Daiyu took Ulan in the early morning and rode over in a carriage, and they made an appointment to go over early to see the child. can still talk together, and when there are more people, where can you still speak.
Of course, Grandma Xue and Wen Ruyu also came, Grandma Xue had just conceived, holding her belly for four or five months, "I can only sit and leave, and the banquet will be waived, so that the family will not worry." ”
"I'm afraid you're stupid." Wen Ruyu smiled, Xue Pan has a bad reputation outside, but it is really good to this daughter-in-law, and it can be regarded as one thing and one thing.
"What's the fun, for the sake of my sister and brother-in-law, I'm annoyed to death. If you want me to say, our brother-in-law is a fool, and he has to redeem some of the previous girls when he is penniless, if it wasn't for his sister to stop him, he would have been beaten to death by Xue Pan. "Grandma Xue looks down on Baoyu very much, and also, they are simply people from two worlds. One is Yangchun Baixue, and the other is a Lower Riba person, neither of whom can understand the other's spiritual world.
"It's not like going to the academy to study." Daiyu thought of the news she heard from Jingyu, and said that she was excited, which was completely different from before, why was she still angry in Grandma Xue's mouth.
"That's right, my sister said that she wanted him to study, and she hoped that he would take the Jinshi exam. Speaking of which, it's a pity for your brother, but it's only a year late, and he's not afraid of anything. Grandma Xue then remembered that Daiyu's younger brother had stopped taking the exam because of filial piety, so it was changed to this year.
"It's good to study for an extra year, it doesn't matter." Daiyu thought to herself, if Baoyu can really pass the exam, she can also comfort the ancestral spirits. did not break the way of the Jia family's imperial examination, this is the real mercy of his subordinates. Otherwise, just like those who were copied in Jinling, the three generations were not allowed to take the imperial examination, and there would really be no day to turn over.
"I heard that aunt went to your mother's house again." Wen Ruyu always knows something that others don't know, and can only say that Li Wei's ears and eyes are very smart.
"What can she do, my mother won't let her enter the mansion, no matter how high she is, she will go to the official mansion and leave immediately." Daiyu only thought it was funny when she said it, Aunt Zhao didn't get into Jia Min's car at the beginning, but somehow she knew that she gave Jia Lian a small house, crying and shouting to ask for a copy for Jia Huan.
Jia Min, her aunt and grandmother are used to it, and she is still afraid that she can't be an aunt and a concubine. She is willing to give her favor, you meet and beg, it depends on my mood, you cry and shout as if who owes you, who do you want to blame. didn't say a word, hurry up and get out of the way.
"That's good, my lord is still saying, if it's really upset, give her a lesson. It also saves the lady from making a move, and does not have to dirty her hands. Wen Ruyu is now sitting firmly in the position of the lady of the family, only one child is missing, and seeing that Grandma Xue is also pregnant, she really starts to feel anxious.
Grandma Xue spoke, and looked at the child again, not a little person, sleeping soundly, cross-legged, stretching out her hands, like a frog, ready to jump up at any time. Touching his lotus-like legs and fat feet, Grandma Xue was satisfied, "If only I could win a man in one fell swoop." ”
"There's nothing wrong with flowering first and then fruiting, as long as you can give birth, you can't have as many as you want." Wen Ruyan is now a son and has everything to do, and her speech is much softer than before, her sharp edges and corners have been smoothed out, and her body is full of maternal brilliance.
Sent off Grandma Xue, and they entered the table. The first thing I listened to was who I didn't have this year, and what happened to them. Then there is the latest and most lively event, the emperor is going to be drafted.
The emperor has been gone for more than a year, and according to the filial piety period of the people, it must be kept for three years. But when it is put on the emperor, it is not used.
"It's going to be lively again this time." The well-informed people at the banquet have already laughed, the royal selection is not just for the emperor alone, but for the entire royal family to choose the person to marry.
Daiyu smiled reluctantly, "yes, it's going to be lively again." ”
"Maybe it's the excitement in your house." The one who said it pursed his lips and smiled.
Daiyu's face turned pale, yes, Hongyun is the emperor's favorite nephew, she is the only one, and it is only natural to give a few more.
"Yes, speaking of which, Brother Hongyun is not small." As he spoke, he looked at Daiyu's stomach, and the meaning was very clear, Hongyun was over twenty years old and had no heirs, how could he not refer to people.
With a stomach full of anger, Ulan whispered to her in the carriage, "The second brother and the fourth brother's family have people who want to be drafted. ”
"It turned out that everyone knew, and I was the last one to know." Daiyu smiled bitterly.
"This kind of thing, it's better not to know in advance than to know in advance." Hongyun's reaction was very shameful, it was indeed he who stopped the news, he just didn't want to see her like this.
"Quick, I'll knead it, and then I'll turn it into a bun." Hongyun went to rub her crumpled little face, but Daiyu bit her finger.
"If you don't know, it won't happen? Tell me what you are going to do and enjoy the blessings of all people? Daiyu bit his finger and didn't let go, and forced him to make a statement.
"If I nod my head, will this finger be gone?" Hongyun cried and laughed and bit with her, for fear that if he used his strength, he would break her teeth.
"Of course, Zigen is broken." Daiyu glared so that her threat could be stronger.
