The 41st Funeral of Yangzhou City (5)

Early in the afternoon, the seven princes of the dynasty were about to come to the Internal Affairs Office, but the four princes suddenly had a whim and wanted to come over to take a look, so the two came together. When Jia Lian saw that the Seventh Prince didn't care about anything else, after greeting everyone together, he immediately took two steps forward and bowed, but he didn't know how to say it for a while, and his face turned red.

When the Seventh Prince saw him like this, he laughed and said, "What are you doing? Seeing this, the four princes looked at it thoughtfully, but they also looked at it with a smile. Jia Lian thought about it and didn't hide it, and said directly: "Yesterday, I reported that the villain's aunt went, and the uncle and aunt treated the villain like a parent. Now that my aunt is gone, my uncle is not sure how uncomfortable it is. And my cousin is really young, so I am afraid that I can't share it with my uncle. The villain is far away in the capital, and his heart is really uneasy. I wanted to ask His Highness for grace to send my aunt. And when he had finished speaking, he fell to his knees on the ground, and his head was on the ground.

After hearing this, the Seventh Prince frowned and said: "Do you know that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, now that you are on a holy errand, it is important to do a good job first, and I think your uncle and aunt also understand." Having said that, the Seven Princes did not have much displeasure. Although the fourth prince did not speak, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes for what Jia Lian said, and at this time, after listening to what the seventh prince said, he looked at Jia Lian again, wanting to see what he would say.

Jia Lian hurriedly said after hearing the words of the Seventh Prince: "The holy errand villain does not dare to delay, but it has been almost completed now, but it can be completed in this day or two." After listening for a while, he continued: "After this errand is completed, I ask His Highness to fulfill it and grant the villain's leave." Because Jia Lian really didn't know how he would be placed after this errand was completed, he said this.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't think about leaving the pick, and that he could still put public before private in such a situation, he was a little satisfied and said: "That's it, you go back to work today, and get on the road quickly, I can't wait if I want to come to Mrs. Lin." ”

Suddenly heard the words of the four princes, not to mention Jia Lian, even the seventh prince was also shocked, and hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, I can still ...... here" Before the seventh prince finished speaking, the fourth prince said: "I still have a few who are already familiar with it, and Ming'er will send one to you." This kid is just sincere and filial piety, so why bother him? ”

No one thought that the cold-faced and cold-hearted four princes would say this, which made Jia Lian grateful in his heart, and kowtowed to the four princes again and again: "Your Highness Xie is complete, Your Highness Xie is complete." After speaking, his eyes were red. Seeing this, the fourth prince waved his hand and said, "You can go." Jia Lian kowtowed again and thanked the two princes, and then retreated home.

Jia Lian did not go directly to his home, but went to the Ministry of Rites to find Jia Yu. After seeing Jia Yu, he explained the matter in detail, and after Jia Yu heard it, he nodded and said, "In this case, you will go back first." Ask your mother to pack your bags for you. Jia Lian asked again, "What about the old lady?" Jia Yu rubbed his brows when he heard that the old lady's face was not very good-looking, and he thought for a moment before saying: "I'll go back early in the evening, and accompany you to the old lady's side, even if the old lady doesn't allow it, she won't object, and I will allow it." After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Jia Lian, threw his sleeves and entered the official office.

After Jia Yu left, Jia Lian stood for a while before going home accompanied by Zhao'er and Xing'er. He didn't go back to his house, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he went directly to Jia Yu's room to see Xing from the black lacquered door that Jia Yu had opened.

As soon as Xing saw that Jia Lian was still wearing clothes to go out, he knew that Jia Lian had just returned from the Internal Affairs Office. Knowing that he had something to do, he didn't detour and asked, "But the errand is arranged?" Jia Lian nodded and learned the past with Xing's again.

After hearing this, Xing nodded and said, "Can you tell the master?" Jia Lian nodded again and said, "The father asked the son to come back to the mother to pay some respects, and the son also wants to leave as soon as possible." I'm afraid that my aunt won't be able to wait for her son. Xing knew what Jia Lian meant, and even though he was a little reluctant in his heart, he nodded in response.

Thinking about how Daiyu would come to the house when she turned around, how she would have a good relationship with her, she thought about it and said to Jia Lian: "If you go in this way, I will clean it up for you today." After speaking, he called Aunt Fei of Wang Baoshan's family. Seeing this, Jia Lian also had to pack some things, so he also said goodbye and left.

After Jia Lian left, Xing's family carefully explained how Wang Baoshan's family and Aunt Fei took some luggage for Jia Lian, and heard that Wang Baoshan's family was straight, Xing's heart was kind, and Aunt Fei was also happy to see that Xing's and Jia Lian had a harmonious relationship. After all, they all followed the Xing family to Jia's house, and they couldn't compare to the previous old men in this mansion who had a foundation.

The two thought that if they could rely on Jia Lian in the future, it would also be a good way out. Didn't you see Jia Lian at a young age, so he earned a knighthood by himself? In the future, there will be the title of the lord to inherit, which shows that relying on Jia Lian is a way out with a future. So both of them are very dedicated.

Jia Yu really came to his house just after the time passed, and Jia Yu is also a decisive person, since he has already decided, he will no longer procrastinate. After returning to the room to freshen up, he called Jia Lian and asked Mrs. Xing how her luggage was prepared. Seeing that Mrs. Xing took the list with him, she took it and took a closer look, and saw that it was ready, especially Jia Lian went out of Beijing for the first time, and was satisfied. He returned the list to Xing.

After thinking about it, he said to Xing's family: "You pack up a gift for your niece, last time Lian'er went for the first time, we actually forgot to give the niece a representative gift, so we can make up for it this time." After speaking, he was about to take Jia Lian to the old lady's house, but Xing said: "Where is there a gift at this time?" If the old man has a heart, he will give a good one when his niece's family comes. ”

Mrs. Xing rarely expressed any opinions in front of Jia Yu, and even if she expressed her opinions, she was generally cautious, but now she is getting more and more bold, although Jia Yu turned her head and glanced at her, she still nodded and said: "It's still Mrs. Thinking about it, let's do it over there, Mrs. will pick some good ones first, just waiting for her niece to arrive." After saying that, he left the house no longer. Jia Lian also bowed and bowed, and then withdrew.

Jia Yu originally thought that the old lady might not agree to Jia Lian because of Jia Lian's imperial mission. Thinking that Jia Lian's errand is now over, I think the old lady should not object. I didn't want Jia Lian to finish saying that Jia Lian's errand was over, and let Jia Lian go to the funeral on behalf of the whole house, so Mrs. Jia frowned and said angrily: "I should have go!" Where is it time for Lian'er to go? What's more, it looks like he is going to exchange Geng posts with the Wang family, so is it easy for Lian'er to go so far? ”

It turned out that this old lady Jia felt in her heart that she should go over to the boss, first, he had a knighthood, he went to Min'er's face to shine, and he didn't have much to do, and besides, he came forward to pick up his niece, which was better than the people next to him. Who knew that today was also to talk about Lian'er! This is still a matter that Jia Yu didn't have time to say, Jia Lian will go for a year or two.

Jia Lian's heart jumped when he heard the exchange of Geng posts, and Jia Yu also asked strangely: "When is this happening?" Jia Mu glanced at him coldly before she said a little tiredly: "I did this, I thought I would tell you yesterday, who knew about your sister's matter, but it was delayed." ”

Jia Lian knew in his heart that she was the niece of the second wife, and she didn't wait for the old lady to continue: "Now that the grandson is there to exchange Geng posts with others?" As soon as Jia Lian said this, Mrs. Jia said dissatisfiedly: "You also saw the girl of the Wang family when you were young, although you haven't seen it when you came back, but I have seen it, needless to say, even the temperament is extremely refreshing, and the person is also smart." Is there no place to be worthy of you? ”

When Jia Yu heard that it was the people of the Wang family, he didn't like it in his heart, but before he could speak, Jia Lian said: "Where does grandson mean that." But now my aunt is gone, and my grandson is also filial piety, although he doesn't wear filial piety clothes, it's not good to talk about marriage at this time. When Jia Lian said this, Jia Mu seemed to have just remembered that Jia Lian also had to take small credits. He frowned and stopped talking.

Jia Yu saw that Jia's mother no longer spoke, knowing that the matter could be suspended and discussed, so he didn't say anything anymore, but only changed the topic and said: "In this case, it's better to let Lian'er go to Yangzhou, once his aunt treats him very well, he should also go." Second, he also learned something from his uncle and got close to him. In less than two years, I should go back to my ancestral hometown to participate in the Autumn Festival, that is, I will not go now, but I will go for a year and a half. After speaking, he looked at Mrs. Jia with eager eyes.

Mrs. Jia had no choice but to do it when she saw that the matter had come to this, thinking that Jia Lian had lived in the Lin family for the past two years, firstly, Jia Min treated him very well, and secondly, he had a close relationship with Lin Ruhai. If Jia Lian goes to have a closer relationship with Lin Ruhai, that is, Lin Ruhai will marry again in the future, and with his granddaughter and Jia Lian here, he will not easily break off contact, so he nodded and agreed.

Jia Lian's father and son were very happy when they saw that the old lady responded, and before they could say anything, they saw that the old lady asked the mandarin duck to take out the letter. The old lady handed the letter to Jia Lian before saying, "You are going to help your uncle, your sister is young and wants you to come forward to take care of everything, and she thinks about these things when she does things and speaks." ”

Seeing Jia Lian nodding and said, "I won't tell you anything else, you should remember to hand over this letter to your uncle." When your sister came, you escorted her all the way back, and if she had any good ones, I would just ask you. After speaking, Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Old lady, don't worry, I only treat her as my own sister, and I will never let people bully her." ”

Mrs. Jia nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "It should be so!" She doesn't have a brother of her own, and you are so old, and you have been taught by her parents, so you have to take care of her with all the more care. Speaking of this, Jia Mu instructed again: "I don't know when I will be able to come back, and the luggage will be complete." If there is anything along the way, just send someone back, and you and your uncle will help you watch, and you must not make your own decisions. Although Jia Lian didn't think so, he still nodded in response, so the old lady waved his hand to let Jia Yu's father and son leave.

Coming out of the old lady's house, Jia Lian thought about leaving as soon as possible and went to find Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin had already been waiting anxiously, and when he saw Jia Lian coming over, he hurriedly got up and saluted and asked, "I don't know if the old lady has made the arrangements?" Why don't I go back first? Jia Lian knew that he was loyal and didn't care, and said with a smile: "You have a good rest today, and I will set off with you early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Xin was very startled when he heard this, and said, "Young Master! This is unacceptable! After speaking, his eyes were red, and he sighed in his heart, in the end, it was taught by the master. But he said disapprovingly: "For the sake of the young master, how unhappy is Mr. Zheng's heart?" Even if Old Zhou wanted to come, he was unhappy in his heart, but the old man fought for the young master under pressure, so why did he give up like this? ”

Jia Lian was very moved when he heard this, but he didn't know that Jia Yu also happened to have something to explain to Zhang Xin, so he wanted to send someone over, but he came over by himself when he saw that he was nearby, and he happened to hear these words outside the door. I was very emotional for a while, so I didn't come in anymore and turned to leave.

Jia Lian said: "I know that my uncle has worked hard for me, but now the errand is done." Besides, something happened to my aunt, and there was no one around my uncle to take care of him, how could he do it? I have seen some things with my uncle in the past two years, and I have also experienced some training in Beijing in the past six months, so I can help my uncle a little, and how deep is the relationship between my uncle and aunt? My uncle still doesn't know how to be sad, how can I not go? ”

Jia Lian's words were earnest, but Zhang Xin didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "I don't know if the old man can agree." The voice was small, if Jia Lian hadn't listened attentively, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hear clearly. Seeing Zhang Xin like this, Jia Lian smiled and said: "Don't worry, my father has already taken care of my luggage for me, just wait for tomorrow to dawn and we will leave quickly." Jia Lian said to such a point, what else can Zhang Xin say?
