354. Chapter 353
Since Bai Lingyi died, according to the relationship between the Jia family and the Bai family, he naturally had to go to the people to mourn and discuss the meeting, and three people were decided: Jia Cong, who proposed to build Hong Kong, Gong Kun, who was in the old ministry of Prince Yizhong, and Wu You, who had a lot of dealings with the Bai family in his early years. Jia Xichun glanced at them and said leisurely: "I have to go to a female family to meet the female family of the Bai family, right?" I'll go. "No one disapproves.
In the evening, Jia Yu heard that Wu Youxichun was going to go, so he pretended to stroke his beard and said: "There must be an elder, and it will not be the same if you go to a few young people alone." ”
Jia Meng said on the side: "Grandfather, pull it down!" Who doesn't know that you always want to go and see the excitement! ”
Jia Cong said: "It's been so long, so what county lord hasn't died yet?" ”
Jia Yu said: "She should have someone at her age." Since he is not married, he naturally has no heart to die. ”
"It's not that the Bai family doesn't have grandchildren." Jia Cong shrugged, "It's not difficult to pick one." ”
Jia Yu said: "If the Bai family really does what Wing Zhi said, there is a secret discord between the two rooms, it will be difficult for her to deal with it." It doesn't matter which house you marry. Nai asked Gong Kun, "I remember that Gong San also said that he wanted to take her to Beijing to meet the county lord of Jinyang, why didn't he go?" Haven't they all been rehabilitated a long time ago? ”
Gong Kun said: "Bai Lingyi found an excuse that day and didn't let her go. My third uncle already knew that he was hiding his thoughts, so he didn't mention it later. Nai took a sip of tea, "They are all the old departments of Prince Yizhong, the Bai brothers were all serious officials of the imperial court back then, but the third uncle was just a staff member. ”
Jia Cong said: "He is clearly the intelligence chief." ”
Gong Kun said: "It's hard to say who can restrain whom. In addition to the people of the Bai family and my third uncle's subordinates, there were some other people. Who should they follow? Prince Yizhong has only one bloodline left. Whoever is in the hands of the county lord will be brighter. Nai glanced at Jia Cong, "You refuse to marry her." ”
Jia Cong snorted: "If I want Hong Kong, I don't need to marry the county lord, just call it." ”
Gong Kun said: "What about others? ”
Jia Cong waved his hand again and again: "Just look at the excitement of the fourth sister and Brother Wu You, this county lord and our people can't marry here, otherwise the fourth sister is uncomfortable every time she sees her, why bother." ”
Jia Yu also said: "Yes, I can't marry." As the saying goes, it is better to give birth than to raise relatives. After all, she was raised by the Bai family. ”
Gong Kun said: "Not really. When the county lord first arrived in Lingnan, he was raised elsewhere. ”
"Huh?"
Gong Kun said with a smile: "Who is Liu Dengxi, how can he trust the Bai family and not investigate in detail?" Back then, the little county lord was brought to Lingnan as the daughter of a slave, and it was just an expedient measure on the road. For a long time, where did the Bai family dare to treat the county master as a slave? Besides, you have to teach her poetry and book etiquette, don't you? In the early years, my third uncle and mother-in-law once subdued a barbarian tribe and sent her there, but later the news was relieved and Fang took her back. ”
Jia Cong said: "A person's most important personality and kinship cultivation are when she is half an adult, she was too young when she hid in the barbarians, and her affection is not as good as that of the Bai family." We still can't marry this county lord, but we can ask her to do something else. He squeezed his eyes. After waiting for a while, no one asked him what "something else" was, a little disappointed, and stretched, "I don't want to know to pull down, I'll go back to the house and rest." He yawned again and walked away.
As soon as he left on his front foot, he turned out the door, and Jia Yu began to aim at Gong Kun and nagged: "Yizhi, why don't you and the big girl have any children?" Last time, I was sorry for you. The doctor of the Xiangguan physical examination said, you two are in excellent health, and there is nothing wrong with you......"
Gong Kun looks at Jia Lian; Jia Lian couldn't help, coughed, and found an excuse to avoid it, Jia Meng sat next to him with great interest to help his grandfather: "Big uncle, big uncle!" Have a little cousin to play with me! Jia Cong was eavesdropping outside the door, and when he heard the words, he immediately ran fast.
Early the next morning, Jia Yu led a few children out of the southwest gate of Chengtianfu, got into a four-** carriage with springs and rubber tires, and under the car was a smooth cement road, and went straight to Ping'an Port. Ping'an Harbor is a military port, stationed in the Taiwanese government's naval troops, seeing their carriages coming over to brush the military salute. Jia Yu ironed in his heart and led the children to salute the military in return. Jia Cong had a sense of time and space confusion, and he couldn't tell what it was like to have a lot of thoughts.
When he arrived at Bai's house, Menzi went in to report that Jia Yu of Rongguo Mansion was coming, and Bai Lingen personally greeted him. Jia Yu arched his hand and looked sad: "General Bai, the festival is changing." Beringen choked up and saluted back.
Beringen and his eldest nephew accompanied them to the spirit. Jia Yu sighed: "Lord Bai! After a pause, he shook his head and said, "You are originally a talent for the prime minister!" As he spoke, his eyes reddened. Bai Lingyi's son was by his side, and when he heard this, he immediately burst into tears.
For a while, Bai Lingen and others accompanied a few of them to the side room for tea, and Jia Yu, Gong Kun and others said some words of comfort, but Jia Cong didn't say a word. Bering Ennai looked at him and said, "Why doesn't the third master speak?" Could it be that there is something wrong with us? ”
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "My father heard that Lord Bai drove the crane to the west, and he was very sorry, and after a while, he muttered a sentence: 'Bai Lingen's talent is rare in the world, it's a pity, it's a pity.' Outsiders are nothing more than that. The little nephew thinks that the four words 'empathy' are the most fake. The pain of losing a loved one cannot be experienced by others, and it is unbearable to mourn. Bai Lingen became sad again. He added, "The dead are gone, and the living can only slowly accept reality." As the days go by, sorrow can always fade a little. It's just that no matter how long the years have passed, people like Lord Beringyi will not forget you if they talk about you. Wu You couldn't help but give him a thumbs up under the table.
Jia Yu also said: "Is it? It can also leave a mark in history. ”
Beringen sighed: "That's the business of posterity, and now we can't control it." It's just that the real culprit behind the scenes can't be found out. ”
Jia Yu said: "Didn't the murderer write a suicide note?" ”
Without waiting for the Bai family to answer, Gong Kun said first: "Uncle, the suicide note is obviously not true. ”
"Huh?"
Jia Cong said on the side: "It may not be true. Just look at the suicide note, you can understand what grievances and hatreds you have with Lord Bai. ”
Beringen said, "No." ”
Jia Cong said disdainfully: "I don't even take fraud seriously." If there is a grievance, how can you not explain it and let the truth be revealed to the world? Who are you fooling? ”
Jia Yu stroked his beard and said, "Look at it this way, the suicide note is fake?" ”
Gong Kun pondered: "General Bai, can you bring the suicide note to us?" ”
Beringen was only a general, and he was not good at these, so he immediately sent someone to the study to take the suicide note left by the pink head. It will be handed over to Gong Kun first. Jia Cong couldn't wait, stretched his neck to look at it, and said with just one glance: "This is written by a man - who has ever seen a woman practice pavilion body?" People don't do scientific research, and the pavilion style is not as good as other fonts. ”
Beringen couldn't help but hit the case: "I didn't expect this section!" ”
Jia Cong said again: "That Hualou is also innocent, so you don't have to make any effort to investigate." ”
Jia Yu asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Jia Cong said: "When you see this letter, even if you believe it, it is impossible not to check it." Since he said that it has nothing to do with Hualou, the Bai family will involuntarily focus on Chahualou. Hualou was originally connected to three religions and nine streams, which was enough to check for a while. There is more effort to check Hualou, and less effort to check elsewhere. And in the end, Hualou was ninety percent innocent - it was impossible for the opponent to deliberately mention the Bai family to check his own house. ”
Gong Kun read the suicide note and thought for a moment and said: "The writing is old-fashioned and calm, the allusions are just right, and the drafter is an old Confucian student." He gave the letter to Jia Yu. Jia pardoned and said, "I see it's useless. He gave it to Wu You again, and Wu You also said that he couldn't see it, so he returned it to the people of the Bai family.
Jia Cong asked again: "It stands to reason that Master Miaoyu is just a sister-in-law, and no one should pay attention to it when she practices in Guangzhou." ”
Bai Lingen smiled bitterly: "It's true that we are lax, and everyone in this house knows her." ”
Jia Cong frowned and said, "Bao Buqi Xin'er came out from inside. ”
Bai Lingen said: "I don't have time to do a funeral this time, and after the first seven, I will check it." ”
While they were discussing, a daughter-in-law came in from outside, and said with a look in her eyes: "Second master, the slave is a ...... sent by the second wife."
Beringne asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The daughter-in-law glanced at Jia Yu and then at Wu You, and said with embarrassment: "The slave has something to do and wants to go back to the second master." ”
Jia Yu's eyes lit up, and he coughed pretendedly: "By the way, are our four girls still honest in the backyard?" ”
The daughter-in-law's face changed, and she said: "Miss Jia Si is very good, our wife, grandmother, and girl like her." ”
Wu You said with a smile on the side: "Don't worry, general, the four girls are very well-behaved when they should behave properly." ”
Jia Cong glanced at him, suppressed his voice and said in a low voice: "Dad, it is obvious that the fourth sister is causing trouble in the backyard of others, don't you see this sister-in-law's face?" The daughter-in-law became more and more scornful.
Seeing that these people from the Jia family were reliable, Bai Lingen asked, "What's wrong?" What did Mrs. ask you to do? ”
The daughter-in-law hung her head and said, "Miss Jia Si made the county lord cry angrily. ”
At this time, the maid who followed Xichun into the painting also came, and Jia Cong hurriedly beckoned her to her side. The daughter-in-law whispered back to Beringen, and whispered back to a few masters in her family.
Just now in the backyard, Jia Xichun was born and talked politely to Bai Lingyi's wife, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and others. After talking for a while, a girl from the Bai family asked her about her past travels around the world, and Xichun told her about her travels.
The county lord knew that it was Wu You who was escorting her, and his face was cold. A woman behind her said: "Ladies and gentlemen, like a businesswoman, show up everywhere, what kind of body has become." ”
Xichun had already guessed the identity of the county lord. Seeing that this woman was nearly forty years old, she was still dressed as a daughter; And the bearing around her is about the aunt she brought out of Prince Yizhong's mansion in the early years. didn't refute, just glanced at her fixedly, and sighed: "It's so pitiful, this girl is afraid that she hasn't even stepped out of the door of the house?" Are you envious of me or jealous of me? ”
The county lord said lightly: "Miss Jia Si is not afraid of rudeness? ”
Xichun said calmly: "I don't know what the girl is. Today, you are a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting at the head of the two wives of the Bai family, who is more rude to you and me? ”
Mrs. Bai was busy and said, "Miss Jia Si misunderstood! This is the lord of the county left by Prince Yizhong. ”
Xichun said: "What about the county lord?" I also saw Princess Jian'an in Luzhou in my early years, but I had never heard of her sitting on top of the elders. ”
Second Mrs. Bai said: "The county lord is the lord after all, and we are the ministers." ”
Xichun only ignored it, and said: "It's just that the grass and paper used by the county lord are all from the Bai family." ”
The woman took two steps forward and pointed at her and drank, "Bold! ”
Xichun laughed and said, "Is this girl scared to me, or when I haven't seen the world?" ”
The woman sneered: "What a little shrew in Beijing, she really deserves her reputation." The reputation of the four girls is ruined, and they are not at ease, and they dare to make nonsense everywhere, but they are afraid that they will not be able to find their in-laws. ”
Xichun covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't bother, the little woman has already set a husband, and she will be sitting outside your mansion." ”
Four men came to the Jia family today: her uncle Jia Yu, her brother-in-law Gong Kun, her younger brother Jia Cong, and Wu You. Who is the husband she has set? The county lord suddenly turned red, stood up and ran out with his skirt, rolling tears in his eyes.
Jia Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "This girl has made me spoiled." ”
Beringne secretly praised in his heart. Gong San is also on the side of the Jia family, and he is still very good at speaking in the rest of Prince Yizhong. If the Jia family offends the county lord, it will be more convenient for their own family. Nai said: "I don't blame the fourth girl, how does she know that the prince treats me like a mountain?" ”
Jia Cong said: "It's just that what my fourth sister said is not bad. Although the county lord is an orphan of the prince, he has been living in the Bai family for many years. When something like this happened to Mrs. Bai, she was still sitting on top of Mrs. Bai, which was too outrageous. ”
Bai Lingen said: "This rule was set by my brother and me, and the county lord has also shirked it many times. But she is Lord after all. ”
Jia Cong spread his hands: "Look, this is the generation gap." She is the master, after all, only you, General Bai, Lord Bai, who has just gone west, and our Mr. Gong regard her as the master, and at most you Bai family members who are a generation higher than us. You have received favor from Prince Yizhong, and you have had friendship with him, and you remember him well. Our generation has been an ancient prince for as long as I can remember. Mr. Gong also often said that the prince is so good, born with dragon roots and phoenix bones, he will be able to become a generation of Ming Jun. But he's dead...... No matter how many times Mr. Gong says, I can't respect him. The young masters and girls of the Bai family are afraid that they will inevitably have such thoughts. General Bai, this matter is not that you nagged the old things a few times, forced her to sit on the head of Mrs. Bai who could be her grandmother, and forced the wives, grandmothers and girls of the Bai family to salute her, so that the younger generations can respect her as the lord.
Where could Beringen tell him that the lord of the county was the foundation of their command of so many of their former colleagues? After hearing this, he thought for a long time and said, "The third master doesn't understand this matter, so it's just that." In this way, the third master still refuses to marry her? ”
"Huh?" Jia Cong's eyes widened, "Isn't it already decided?" Nai waved his hand again and again, "I can't afford to mess with this." Not only can't I mess with it, but our family can't afford to mess with it. Doesn't the Bai family also have many children? ”
Bai Lingen sighed lightly, his eyes swept over Wu You. Wu You only sat and pretended to be stupid.
Jia Yu suddenly asked Wu You: "When was the matter between you and the four girls decided?" Why don't I know? ”
Wu You blinked: "When I was about to get off work yesterday." "It's a serious way," the fourth girl came from my office and said to me, "Hey, would you like to marry me?" I said, yes. ”
Several people looked at each other for a moment, and Jia Cong suddenly applauded: "The fourth sister is mighty~~"
