Although Jia's mother didn't say anything on her face, she was really worried about Jia Baoyu in her heart, and she also remembered Jia Yuanchun. That night, Jia Mu couldn't sleep anything, lying on the bed, and chattering with the mandarin ducks, when she suddenly heard the sound of the cloud board, Jia Mu was suddenly flustered: "This, what's wrong?" Okay, what's going on with the cloud board? Mandarin ducks, how many are these sounds? ”

The mandarin duck replied, "Old lady, it's four sounds." ”

Jia Mu said: "Four sounds? How is it four tones? Mandarin duck, Mandarin duck, go out and see, what's going on? ”

The mandarin duck responded and hurriedly went out.

The cloud board sounded four times, and that was the mourning sound. When someone important in the official office and the aristocratic family dies, they will knock on the cloud board, and Jia Mu can't tell who knocked on the cloud board, but this unspeakable uneasiness in her heart makes Jia Mu have no intention of sleeping at all.

After a while, there were voices outside, but it was Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, Jia Qing, and a few people came in the car, Jia's mother hurriedly asked these granddaughters and great-granddaughters to come in, but she didn't wait for a few children to salute him, so she grabbed Jia Jiu: "In the middle of the night, you still run this trip, but what happened?" ”

Jia Jiu took the opportunity to sit down beside Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, my granddaughter has already sent people to ask everywhere, it's not our family, it's not Dongfu, our family and Dongfu are fine." It's just that this cloud board knocked on the cloud board to make people panic, and the granddaughter couldn't sleep, so she came to find the old lady. ”

Jia Mu nodded indiscriminately and hummed softly.

Shi Xiangyun, who had just received the news and came from behind, heard it, and suddenly said: "The cloud board is four sounds, even we have heard it here." I'm afraid it's not a small matter. I remember the last time the second wife came, she once said that the days of the eldest sister were about this time. Old lady. Will this be a hindrance to the big sister? ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she was shocked and said, "It's not a response to this sentence!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly called someone out to inquire.

But it was a curfew at this time, and Jia Yu's mother was worried that Jia Yu would not allow his family to easily break the rules, until the ugly time was over, and Jia Yu sent someone out to investigate. The results obtained. Naturally, it was a big blow to Jia Mu.

Rao is Jia Yu had already tried his best to be tactful, but Jia Mu still fainted all of a sudden, so panicked that several juniors hurriedly shouted and screamed. Jia Jiu pinched Jia Mu's middle point hard. He also said: "Old lady, the eldest sister has an accident, but there is still Baoyu." The second uncle and second aunt are far away in Huguang, Baoyu doesn't expect your care? "And let people go to save the heart.

Jia Mu woke up slowly. Crying, "I knew." I knew it. That palace is a place to eat people at all. This palace concubine is elected every three years, and twenty or thirty people enter each time, but how many concubines are there in this palace? This also includes the concubines who went up to the palace maids! When your eldest sister was at that time, I was thinking about finding a good family for your eldest sister, and she would also be an arm of the family in the future. But the second child and the second family's family were blinded by oil, and a good girl was sent to do the work of serving people! The big girl has come to me since she was so little old, like a kitten. I finally raised him, and he looked passable. It's okay to do things, but the second child doesn't know that he is distressed at all! Now, the big girl is gone, isn't this digging my heart alive?! ”

The girls around were crying, and even Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but cry.

Jia Yu was very embarrassed outside, Jia Jiu hugged Jia's mother's hand and said, "Old lady, old lady, things are not so simple. Do you remember? In the past year, no, from the good news of the eldest sister to the present, it has only been six months, but the second uncle has been transferred from Xuezheng to Zhili Grain Road, and from Zhili Grain Road to Huguang Grain Road. This is unusual, old lady. If the eldest sister gave birth safely, others would not dare to do anything to the second uncle for the sake of the eldest sister and the imperial heir, but now ......"

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately jumped up and asked Jia Yu to go out and inquire.

When Jia Yu heard this, he immediately withdrew.

To be honest, the little brotherhood that Jia Yu had for this younger brother had been exhausted over the years. Especially in the past few months, Jia Zheng has nothing to do to find trouble and block Jia Lian, and it has only been more than a month. Jia Lian is Jia Yu's only adult son at the moment, and he was almost abolished because of Jia Zheng's stupidity, so it's strange that Jia Yu will have any incense left for Jia Zheng.

Jia Yu's help, but it was just for Jia's mother's sake, plus Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan's two nephews were really innocent, plus Jia Lan's nephew was young and pitiful.

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Yuanchun died, all kinds of impeachment folds outside were piled up on the imperial case.

The king of Nan'an put the main reason for the defeat on the lack of military rations and the inability of the soldiers to fight.

The governor of Huguang and the political envoy of Huguang put the deficit in money and grain on the head of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. Even the governor of Zhili and the political envoy of Zhili sued Jia Zheng.

The most serious is Jiangnan students, some people actually said that last year's Jiangnan competition, there was fraud, and some people sold exam questions in advance. And all kinds of evidence actually pointed to Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

As soon as Jia Yu saw that something was wrong, he immediately made a turtle with a shrunken head, closed the door of his house, and even his own slaves were repeatedly restrained, and even asked Zhuangzi to send vegetables or something, he became more and more careful. For Jia Mu's side, it is perfunctory if it can be perfunctory, and it is dragged if it can't be perfunctory. Anyway, he didn't plead with Jia Zheng.

Jia Yu didn't give anything, Jia Lian was not in the capital, Jia Mu had to turn her eyes to other people, for example, Lin Yu, who had just passed the exam, and Ning Guofu.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu and Xichun were called to interrogate by Jia's mother every day.

Lin Daiyu and Xichun are not stupid. Of course, Lin Daiyu didn't want to see her younger brother lose his hard-won fame and the future of the Lin family because of this kind of thing, so he specially asked people to clean up the Lin family's mansion and let his younger brother go over to study every day, so as not to be entangled by Jia's mother and not be able to live in peace.

It's the same with cherishing spring.

Even if Xichun can't entangle Jia's mother, his father and nephews and daughters-in-law are unwilling to tell him, even if he is very worried that his father and nephew will be implicated in this matter, but on the surface. Xichun still has to pretend that he doesn't know anything.

Xichun couldn't help but lose her temper in front of Jia Jiu: "Second sister, the old lady is really right." If something like this happens, no one wants to be far away. The old lady wants us to get up. ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly reassured: "The old lady is in this life." There are only two children left, my father and my second uncle, how can I not worry? ”

Xichun said: "That's what I'm going to say." That's the old lady's son, isn't it the old lady's son, grandchildren, and daughters who live here? The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat. If the two families are mixed up now, I'm afraid that none of them will be able to escape, so it's better to avoid it now and wait for the dust to settle. It's also easy to take a hand. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Who said it wasn't. When did the major case of fraud in the imperial examination come out, wasn't it a bunch of heads? And the second uncle's days in this position are also strange. It is said that he is irrelevant, and the day he took office happened to be around the time of autumn. said that he was related, and when he was in the autumn, I don't know if he had completed the delivery. It happened in Gangnam. How do we know? That's what the old lady liked. That's why I need my father's help. can think about it from another position, if those people really want to push the matter on the second uncle, they are afraid of evidence or something, and everyone will get it right. It is not easy to overturn the case. ”

Xichun said: "That's why the old lady wants my sister to use the power of the Daomen?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Even if the power of the Daomen is enough, the impact on officialdom is also indirect. But the people who attack the second uncle are all in the officialdom. How easy is it to overturn these determinations? How many people would be willing to help the second uncle overturn the case? You know, the second uncle's reputation is not good. Helped the second uncle. The case may be solved, and it is impossible to say that even his reputation has been lost. From ancient times to the present day. In this world, there are Di Renjie and Bao Longtu? ”

When Xichun heard this, he was also very discouraged, and said, "Not really." The matter on the grain road in Zhili may really be because of that person, but who knows who did the matter on Huguang? From Beijing to Huguang, there is a lot of time on the road, and even the time given by the imperial court to Huguang officials is very relaxed, enough for three months. Even if you take a boat, from Tongzhou to Jinling and then transfer to a sea boat, it will take more than half a month to have a smooth wind. What is enough time for this idea? Clear-eyed people know that things on the Huguang Grain Road are boring. It's just that the reputation of those two is really bad, and how many people are willing to overturn the case for the two of them?! ”

After crossing the women, many women think that they can do whatever they want, but they don't know that many things are being watched by people. Many people don't care about reputation, but in fact, reputation is something that can be used to save lives when it is critical.

Just like now, if Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's reputation is not bad, the imperial court will not send someone to the south to investigate. But now, the imperial court simply ignored it, and the impeachment folds were piled up with imperial cases. Who doesn't know what to do next? It's just a casual person, sorting out these things, but it won't be strictly investigated, it will only ask people to make a appearance, and then, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was questioned, and the people still felt very happy.

Jia Jiu replied: "The imperial court will not go too far. If a very obvious unjust, false and wrongful case comes out, the court will have no face. As my sister said, the matter of Huguang may not necessarily fall on the second uncle, but it is difficult to say about the Zhili Grain Road and the Jiangnan Imperial Examination. I just hope there's nothing else going on over there. If there is something else, it is not good. ”

Xichun hurriedly asked why, and Jia Jiu made a lip shape.

Zhen family.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Zhen family to fall first, and the reason was the Jiangnan imperial examination fraud case.

In the autumn of last year, Zhen Baoyu of the Zhen family also went to the examination room. However, this guy is about the same as Jia Baoyu, playing with the girls in the family all year round, and hardly touching books all year round, where does he get the strength to take the imperial examination? Therefore, the Zhen family bought off the relevant officials, put the article that should have been the fourth place in Qiu Yu under Zhen Baoyu's name, and was afraid of missing the organ, so they found an excuse to put Nawen Xiucai's family in prison, and asked someone to discount Na Xiucai's leg.

That Wen Xiucai originally thought that his level was really not enough, and he planned to go back and fight again in three years, but he suffered this catastrophe. In order to exonerate his parents, he sold his family's fields and houses, and came to Jinling to find a way out of his old friends, but he didn't want to hear about the so-called articles made by Zhen Baoyu in the science field, where did he not understand?

That Xiucai was also ruthless, ruined his appearance, pretended to be a homeless and came to Beijing, and then beat the Dengwen drum.

When she heard about this, Jia Mu was very frightened, and asked Jia Jiu again and again: "Is there such a thing?" This, this has nothing to do with your second uncle, right? ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "Old lady, my granddaughter doesn't know about this. The time when the second uncle took office was too coincidental, and it was a matter of the south, and when he arrived in Beijing, he didn't know how many times this matter had changed. ”

Jia Mu said: "I know, I know!" It's as simple as this matter in politics! I told the second child that day that he has no fame, and it is best not to wade into this troubled water, but he just didn't listen. Envy others all over the world, but also depends on whether you have this capital! ”

As he spoke, he shed tears again and again, and everyone panicked to persuade him again.

After a while, Mother Jia put away her tears and said, "Since the second child took office at a good time, I'm afraid there is still room for maneuver." Second girl, you go and help inquire. If I need some money, I have some money here. ”

Jia Jiu couldn't cry or laugh: "Old lady, that's the second uncle of the granddaughter, and the granddaughter will naturally do her best." It's just that this matter, although it is said that the second uncle took office at a coincidental time, it can be said that the matter has nothing to do with him, but others say that the matter is related to the second uncle, and we can't come up with any evidence. Therefore, the granddaughter thought that this matter would depend on the meaning of the two saints. If the Emperor Taishang has mercy, if he doesn't want to care, then the second uncle will naturally be fine. But if it'......"

Jia Mu was frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "I know your worries." I remember that you are also a little decent in the palace, and several aunts around you are also from the palace. How about asking them to help us find out? ”

Jia Jiu didn't want to say anything, so he had to nod.

Because of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's family, Lin Yu was unable to celebrate properly when he was hit by Tanhua and entered the Hanlin Academy, and he was not even in the mood to sit down and eat wine. The people in Rongguohou's Mansion were all urged by Mother Jia to find a way, where would Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu jump out at this time to attract attention?

Although Lin Yu is very methodical, Lin Daiyu is still afraid that Jia's mother will think of his younger brother, just like forcing Jia to pardon Jia Jiu, forcing his younger brother to run for the affairs of Jia Zheng's family.

Lin Yu is the hope of the Lin family, and it is also the pillar of the Lin family in the next ten years, Lin Daiyu is not willing to lose her younger brother for a guy with a bad reputation. No matter how close your uncle is, it's just an uncle. Their sister and brother's surname is Lin, not Jia. In the future, when the guilt came down, Lin Daiyu was willing to spend some money and favors to take care of Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and Tanchun and others, but now he wanted to gamble with his younger brother and the future of the Lin family, and he asked himself if he could do it.
