CHAPTER XXIII
said that Jia's mother, after the two sons came, she sent the two daughters-in-law out first, and the mandarin ducks guarded the door and did not let people approach.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing waited outside the house, there was nothing to say between the two, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Mrs. Wang became more and more uneasy, Mrs. Xing, who was originally gloating, saw that there was no movement in the house, and her heart couldn't help but rise, she still remembered that when the two of them went in just now, Jia's mother's expression, no, to be exact, was expressionless.
Mother Jia originally came out of XiΓ n, she has always been a kind and kind old lady who enjoys her old age, and she really doesn't care much about the affairs of the house, and handed over to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to take care of the housekeeper early, and just now, Mother Jia put away her usual smiling face, just sat there, not angry but mighty, swept with a cold glance, and the momentum of the Duchess of Chaoyipin came to her face.
Mrs. Xing had never seen such an old lady, in her impression, Mother Jia's appearance was sad, joyful, loving, angry, graceful, and dignified, but she had never been so cold and majestic.
Mrs. Xing, who only married in later, had never seen it, but Mrs. Wang had seen it, and that was when the abolished prince was just imprisoned.
Mrs. Wang remembered in a trance that it was this charitable old lady who gave an order without changing her face, and it was executed by Mama Lai and Lai Da to deal with the restless subordinates of Rongguo Mansion, and the land of Rongguo Mansion was stained red with blood that day, and everyone was so frightened that they were honest and silent. After so many years, the younger generation of maids and boys don't know that if the old people don't mention it, she actually forgets about Jia's mother. Well, this time
I don't know how long they stood for a while, the two of them were out of their minds, but the door creaked open, the three of them didn't know what they were talking about in the house, Jia Yu's eyes were red and swollen, and he motioned for Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing to come in, and the two entered the house nervously, but saw Jia Zheng kneeling directly in front of Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang was chuckling in her heart, knowing that it was going to be bad.
And Jia Lian Wang Xifeng's residence, Wang Xifeng was lazily leaning on the couch, his fingertips dyed with bright red Dankou tapped the tabletop, and said suspiciously to Jia Lianhu on the side: "I said second master, what did you say about the old ancestor today, but called the two wives and the two masters?" β
Jia Lian was playing with a newly acquired jade carving, and said a little absentmindedly: "What can I do, except for my aunt who came recently, it has been calm, not to mention that I didn't ask the four of them to go over together." β
Wang Xifeng didn't give up: "What's the same, you guys know something, although the ancestor doesn't look unusual today, but she asked his wife to set up rules for a long time, which has never been done before." β
Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng's danfeng eyes raised, as if he was smiling, although he squinted at himself, he was even more amorous and sultry, and couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, and stepped forward and laughed: "Then according to grandma, what's going on?" Isn't it because our grandmother feels sorry for your aunt? β
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Lian with disgust, and sideways avoided Jia Lian's restless hand: "I'm talking about serious things!" β
"Zuo is not worried about those things in the house, there are ancestors and masters, what are you worried about. I have serious things to do. Saying that, Jia Lian smiled evilly, and the whole person stepped forward, Wang Xifeng's face turned red, and he scolded for being improper, and lay down half-pushed and half-laid down.
At this moment, Ping'er hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked in, and when she saw the scene in the house, her pretty face turned red, and she said that the eldest master had something to find the second master, and asked the second master to go to the eldest master's study, and hurriedly retreated.
Wang Xifeng pushed Jia Lian, who was pressing on his body, and said meaningfully: "It seems that the second master's serious matter is here." β
Jia Lian stood up in disappointment and straightened his clothes: "Grandma, wait, I'll be back quickly." β
Wang Xifeng took a sip of Jia Lian when he heard this: "It's such a big face, who is going to wait for you." He sat up to himself.
Jia Lian was not annoyed, after tidying up his clothes, Shi Shiran went out, and when he went out to pass by Ping'er, he also pinched Ping'er's tender face, and was glared at by Ping'er again, but Jia Lian was in a good mood, and went to Jia Yu's study with peach blossom eyes with a smile.
However, he soon couldn't laugh, and Jia Yu didn't do anything, just told Rongning Erfu and even Jia Lian's family about the history of the dragon from beginning to end.
After speaking, Jia Yu also added calmly and as a matter of course: "What I didn't want to say is all in the past." Your second uncle and second aunt joined in again, and even took our entire Rongguo Mansion into it, today, I just informed you, if you follow your good second uncle to become rich and noble in the future, then you also deserve it, don't worry about your son. If you are exiled by the implicated raiders, don't blame you Lao Tzu, this matter has nothing to do with your Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is like this. What happens in the future, you can see for yourself. β
Then he waved his hand and drove Jia Lian, who was still stunned, out of the study like a fly.
Jia Lian looked confused, and his often sparkling peach blossom eyes were also dumbfounded.
He didn't like to read or practice martial arts when he was young, but as a young master of the duke who was born with a golden soup spoon in his mouth and can inherit the title in the future, there was no pressure and no one to care about him, so he made friends with a group of the same second, third and fourth generations, and became a gentleman, although he later married a vinegar jar tigress, but this did not affect him at all to continue to spend so much time and wine, and be a happy and proficient gentleman who is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.
As a result, one day, his old man, who was even more lascivious than him, sued him, smash, your good life may come to an end, of course, it may also be followed by this shareholder's prosperity, but to be honest, Lao Tzu is not very optimistic about you.
By the way, I also told him, in fact, your grandfather used to be super powerful, it was the prince and the prince, and the prince had to respectfully call him the kind of gentleman when he saw him, you Lao Tzu was also slapped by him for the prince when he was a child, oh yes, you Lao Tzu was the prince's companion when he was a child, and the relationship with the prince was good, and when he grew up, he also married the only daughter of Mrs. Zhang, that is, your own mother, the proper hardcore Tai 1 son party, the root is Miao Hong.
Not only that, because of the instructions of the former emperor, in Rongning Erfu, the old lady Jia Daishan, your Lao Tzu, and Jia Jing, the first scholar of the old Jia family who was really admitted to the Jinshi, are all too 1 sub-party.
Later, the prince was deposed because of rebellion, the emperor was angry, I don't know how many people were exiled from their homes, and even beheaded all over the house, and the beheading at the entrance of the Dongmen vegetable market was like cutting leeks, one stubble after another, and even the knife was cut several times.
Then the old lady Jia Daishan rescued, died soon after, the Jia family was so silent, although the emperor at that time did not investigate, but you Lao Tzu and I still moved to the small garden to live, since then I stayed at home as an otaku, and your grandfather's family is even more miserable, the family has been assigned to Ping'an Prefecture to open up wasteland, although your Lao Tzu has been dotting all the way, but Mr. Zhang still went on the road, your two uncles have arrived in Ping'an Prefecture safely, but there has been no news over the years.
Now, your good second uncle who wants to go to the next level decided to invest again, hiding from us between the emperor and the emperor, he surrendered to the emperor and sold the Rongguo Mansion to the emperor, I thought that your cousin Yuanchun was just entering the palace to be plated with gold, or to earn a fortune, but people entered the palace to show loyalty to the emperor, whether they sold other secrets of the Rongguo Mansion I don't know, your second uncle said no, but Lao Tzu didn't believe it very much, if it wasn't for the old lady's coercion, your second uncle still wanted to hide it.
Jia Lian was dizzy by Jia Yu's earth-shattering thunder one after another, only feeling that everyone in Rongguo Mansion knew him, but it seemed that there was another face on the back, and it was the first time he heard his father talk about his grandfather's family so clearly, his grandfather's family seemed to be a taboo, Rongguo Mansion never talked about it, and he would ask when he was a child, and gradually, he really forgot that he still had such a thing as a foreign family.
Jia Lian returned to his residence in a groggy state, and went all the way into the bedroom, still confused, but heard Wang Xifeng shouting repeatedly: "Second master? Second master! Second master! β
Seeing that Jia Lian finally came back to his senses, Wang Xifeng stepped forward: "What's wrong with the second master, I called several times, but the second master didn't reply to me, I don't know what I'm thinking." What did the master say to you, but did he discipline you? Look at your sweaty head! While holding a handkerchief in his hand, he wiped Jia Lian's sweat. It turned out that Jia Lian had unconsciously broken out in a cold sweat.
Jia Lian just wanted to reply, but unexpectedly, a sentence that Jia Yu had just written lightly came to mind: "You and your daughter-in-law are really a couple, and they are both filial to the two of them." β
Jia Lian:
Jia Lian thought back to Jia Yu's expression at that time, a spirit, and a cold sweat was about to come down again.
Not to mention that Jia Lian was thinking about how to teach his wife, in Jinling Xue Mansion, everyone in the Xue family had already packed most of their luggage and was ready to go to Beijing in the next day, sending Xue Baochai, the eldest daughter of the Xue family's generation, to enter the capital to run for election.
But it is said that this Xue family is one of the four major families in Jinling, and its head mother is the sister of Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion, and the Xue family was originally very prosperous, but since the death of the previous generation of family heads, although it is still prestigious, it is not as good as before.
And Xue Baochai, the most sober person in the family, saw that the widowed mother was weak, and the elder brother did not want to be motivated, fighting cocks and lackeys all day long, even if the Xue family was rich and squandered like this, how long could it last, not to mention, if no one supported the faΓ§ade, how could the rich Xue family not be a piece of fat? And Xue Baochai thinks that he doesn't lose anything, and he may not have the idea of fighting in his heart, not to mention that when he goes to the capital, his brother can also have an elder who manages him, and then he will be spoiled by his mother like this, so I am afraid that when I heard that the palace was elected, I persuaded my mother to go to the capital together.
However, the mother and daughter were cleaning up, but they heard someone outside reporting that the uncle of the Xue family was sued by the Feng family, saying that he had killed the young master.
Hearing that there was a human life, the mother and daughter suddenly lost their faces, and looked at Xue Pan who was drinking tea on the side, Xue Pan saw the appearance of the two, and said indifferently: "What is this, they still dare to go to my Xue family to take people, just spend a few dollars, not to mention the uncle and them, mother and sister and rest assured, we will leave on time tomorrow." β
Although listening to Xue Pan say this, Xue Wang was still busy sending a letter to Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang for help, the mother and daughter did not sleep peacefully all night, until the second day, seeing that there was no yamen messenger to come to the door to get people, the two of them finally felt a little at ease, and the group did not mention it, only said that Xue Baochai once again strengthened his determination to go to Beijing, and his brother was so, he must find someone to take care of it.
