Jia Jiu didn't expect that there was a public case behind this. After all, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai also avoided people to talk about this matter secretly, and if they didn't pay attention deliberately, it would be impossible to find out.

However, Jia Jiu can also feel that Shi Xiangyun is becoming more and more affectionate to Jia's mother, and his attitude towards Baolinghou and Zhongjinghou is also different from the past, and even his attitude towards Xue Baochai has changed. The most obvious thing is that on Xue Baochai's birthday, Shi Xiangyun specially gave the four-color needlework made in the old days as a birthday gift.

In the past, Shi Xiangyun must have ridiculed him a few words, saying that he even had to hold a ceremony at someone else's house, just like the previous ridicule of the Xue family for the New Year in Jia's house, and he didn't even go home to worship his ancestors.

Because he didn't pay attention, Jia Jiu took it for granted that Shi Xiangyun didn't make a fuss, and it was just that Xue Baochai only held a birthday banquet, and did not hold a relationship with the ceremony.

Which of the real ladies didn't hold a ceremony at the age of fifteen? Even if it is like Jia Jiu, the day collides with the big festival, and you have to pick another auspicious day. Don't look at Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters, who are only fourteen years old, Jia Yu and Jia Lian have already instructed them to hold a good ceremony for these two children, and Jia Yu is even already drawing up a guest list.

Jia Jiu didn't look into it further, Xue Baochai only held a birthday banquet for one reason, and more importantly, he himself was also very busy. After several years of planning and another year of careful preparation, his strategy finally began to be implemented. At the top of the top are the three princesses, the eldest princess of Lanling, the eldest princess of Jiashan and the eldest princess of Changle, and Daomen and Confucianism have also intervened and reconciled in the middle. It turned out to be him, Jia Qian and Jia Qing.

In addition, Princess Changle is still inseparable, so he and Jia Qian have to rotate into the palace frequently. He often goes to the palace on ordinary days to accompany Princess Changle. When it comes to the big festival and when it is necessary to worship the ancestors, he will come back early and replace Jia Qian into the palace to accompany Princess Changle. Of course, Jia Qian will also rush back on the day of the ancestor worship, if the time cooperates, he will go back on the same day, if the time is not coincidental. Princess Changle in the palace could only stay up for a night with her eyes open.

As for the affairs of the family, most of them were handed over to Jia Qing. Moreover, there is also a matter of Confucianism with the Yan family. It was also handed over to Jia Qing.

Therefore, in this new year, Jia Jiu and Jia Qian spend less than half of their time at home. As for Jia Qing. has an identity, status, and money, and now there is a stage to show himself - there are still two, one is the back garden of the Jia family, and the other is the outside thing (Jia Jiu did not hide it from him, but let him also intervene in the middle) - Today's Jia Qing is still deferential to Jia's mother, but for others, Jia Qing doesn't pay so much spiritual attention.

However, after the Qingming Festival, Jia Cong went to Ningguo Mansion to study as usual. But he came back early, and brought unexpected news to his father and older siblings.

As the patriarch of Ning Guofu. Jia Jing naturally wants to preside over the sacrifice, and as a Sun Mound woman, Qin Keqing naturally has no leisure, every time he has to prepare sacrificial items with the You family, especially their Ning Guo Mansion, which is flourishing, there are more things to prepare. Therefore, every time Qin Keqing would take a few days of early bathing and fasting to show his sincerity. But because of this, Jia Zhen found an opportunity to be light.

Ancestor worship is such a big thing, not only women have to fast, but men naturally have to fast. But Jia Zhen was lustful, and seeing that everyone was the weakest at this time, she actually broke in and made Qin Keqing, who was bathing, light for a while. Qin Keqing resisted desperately, and his two personal girls screamed even more, one rushed out to find someone to help, and the other rushed up to fight with Jia Zhen, but was kicked out by Jia Zhen and hit the pillar hard, seeing that it was no longer possible.

When they heard the news, Jia Jiu and Jia Qian looked at each other, not knowing how to react, and even Jia Yu and Jia Lian were stupid.

After a long time, I heard Jia Yu lower his voice and said, "How can this be?" made such a big mistake, does Zhen'er think that he will not be able to do it alone in Dongfu? How many people still know about this? ”

Jia Cong said with a bitter face: "Father, I'm afraid everyone who should know knows." After the incident came out, the eldest uncle immediately asked someone to tie up Brother Zhen, and also locked Rong's daughter-in-law in the house. But who would have thought that this would be a problem. Rong's daughter-in-law locked herself in the house, crying alone, and only the girl who was still alive was waiting for him. But who would have thought that there was a mother-in-law who claimed to be under the order of the eldest uncle to accept Rong's daughter-in-law. Just when Rong's daughter-in-law was strangled out of breath, Zhen's sister-in-law was sent by her uncle to appease Rong's daughter-in-law, and broke the matter, leaving Rong's daughter-in-law with her life. ”

Jia Yu immediately jumped up.

He looked left and right, and saw that he, Jia Lian, Jia Jiu, Jia Cong, Jia Qian, and Jia Qian were the six masters in the house, and the other maids-in-law, including Jia Jiu's life-level maids, including the mothers of the three girls, were not in the house, so he lowered his voice and said, "This, this is for Rong's daughter-in-law?" Your big brother Jane is also in their calculations? ”

Jia Lianqi said: "Father, isn't it against Brother Zhen, Rong's daughter-in-law is just implicated?" ”

Jia Yu was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "That's it, you are also older, and you should let you know about many things." Do you think that when your brother was gone, why did I choose to settle the matter, even when your mother was gone, I was just wiping tears behind my back. It's not because I'm ruthless, it's not because I'm timid, but the other party is too powerful, and if you're not careful, it's no different from a whole house! ”

Jia Lian was taken aback.

"If you don't experience it yourself, it's hard for ordinary people to appreciate the danger."

Jia Yu had only warned Jia Jiu Mo to learn from the Wang girl, that is, he had mentioned the events of the year, but he also picked up the things about the Wang family girl and briefly mentioned one or two, the real details, Jia Yu really didn't tell the children below. But today, Jia Yu told the children everything he knew.

In the past, when Jia Yu talked about Wang's daughter, he just said that he ignored the overall situation, framed his mother-in-law, and framed his mother-in-law's family, but today, Jia Yu told all the things that Wang's daughter guessed the king's mind again and again, eradicated dissidents, and framed Zhongliang. In order to conceal his personal relationship with the then crown prince and Prince Lao Yizhong, he secretly executed those who knew the matter, including Prince Lao Yizhong and the concubine of this concubine. was even more frustrating to poison the emperor at that time, trying his best to let the old prince Yizhong ascend the throne.

Jia Yu said: "At that time, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs refused to take refuge in him. More than half of them were attacked by him, and he even incited the homeless people to attack the houses of those families, and secretly sent people to adulterate the female relatives of those families among the homeless. The reason is just that those families look down on him and don't want to pay attention to him. Second girl, you also know that those families have some ability to press the bottom of the box, plus Daomen helped. Except for a few families who lived on the periphery of Chonghuifang who did not react at first, and a few people who lived on the periphery of Chonghuifang were affected by the disaster, the rest of the people went to Sanqing Mountain. And Daomen joined forces with the family to directly block the capital. At that time. More than two-thirds of the people died in Jingshi, and even many civil and military officials died -- your aunt's grandparents and parents were not there at that time. - Soon, the national teacher rescued the Emperor Taishang, who was still the emperor at the time. Emperor Taishang ascended the palace wall of the imperial city. presided over the overall situation, and with the cooperation of Daomen and the family, this made the situation stable. ”

Jia Jiu could imagine how much impact that Wang daughter had on the country, the political environment and the economic environment of the entire Great Qi, and he could also guess how much the Daomen and the family benefited from this turmoil in the end.

In other words, the current social structure and political pattern of Daqi are indispensable to the Wang family's daughter.

Jia Yu finally said: "According to the law of the country, the heinous crime is only three days of execution. However, the emperor hated this woman very much, and arrested his children one by one. Ling Chi was executed in front of him, and finally it was his turn, and he slowed down the process, dragging it out for seven days before letting him die. As for the old Prince Yizhong, he did not fall well, and on the third day of being demoted to the prince, he poured wine and became the first prince of my Daqi to be officially executed, and the first prince to be ordered to be executed by the emperor. Although Prince Lao Yizhong is not the concubine of the Emperor Taishang, he was also carefully cultivated by the Emperor, otherwise the Emperor Taishang would not be so tolerant of him. Old Prince Yizhong, it's a pity. ”

Jia Lian said: "That's ...... with my mother"

Jia Yu said: "Your mother didn't deal with this Wang girl at the beginning, and when the Wang daughter complained to others about being treated badly by her mother-in-law, she also demolished the Wang girl's platform, and was hated by the Wang girl. Your brother was killed by the Wang woman's faction. When your mother was pregnant with you, the old lady of the Wang family threatened your mother more than once, and although I tried my best to suppress it, you were still born prematurely. After your mother died, I learned that the Wang woman had given birth to your mother because of this. As for the fact that you will be taken away by the old lady, it is also because this Wang daughter is making a mistake behind her back and wants our father and son to be separated. ”

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the person who recruited the second room is also this Wang girl?" ”

Jia Yu nodded.

"If I hadn't taken Lian'er to the south that year, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape that catastrophe." Jia Yu finally concluded, "So, you should know, right? That Wang daughter has a lot of relationship with our Jia family and over there, otherwise, when you passed the word to me on behalf of the ancestors, I would not have agreed immediately, and I would not have broken off contact with the Wang family desperately. The reason is this Wang girl. ”

Jia Qing's heart moved, and said: "Grandfather, is it possible that the Wang family is connected with this Wang family's daughter?" ”

Jia Yu said: "If that's really the case, I'm afraid that the Wang family would have been liquidated a long time ago." It was your second wife who wanted to befriend this Wang daughter and communicate with each other in private. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Father, are you saying that the daughter-in-law of Rong in Dongfu may be the granddaughter of that Wang daughter?" ”

Jia Yu said: "It's not a granddaughter, I'm afraid it's the biological daughter of that Wang daughter, and it's also the daughter born to Prince Lao Yizhong." ”

Jia Jiu said: "How is it possible? Didn't that Wang girl preach not to be concubines? ”

Jia Yu replied: "Not being a concubine does not mean that you do not have personal affairs with others. Do you think that the rest of the children of the Wang family have been Ling Chi, why did this child who was still in infancy and had no ability to protect himself escape? Isn't it the old Prince Yizhong's people who are protecting this girl? Although she is the adopted daughter of the Qin family, that Qin Keqing's pomp is not low. Look at that Shi Xiangyun, he came to our house, even if his temperament is quite bold, but he is not jealous of you? Don't think I don't know about his exclusion of the two of them. ”

Jia Yu is not Jia Zheng, he only knows how to drink and chant poetry at home, talk with the Qingke, and without the Qingke, he will only play prestige in front of the concubine and juniors.

At least. Regarding the affairs of the family, Jia Yu is much more concerned than Jia Zheng, and he is very concerned about his own children. Jia Yu also values Jia Zheng more seriously. Although Jia Qian and Jia Qing are adopted daughters, they also opened the ancestral hall and sacrificed to their ancestors. If it weren't for Shi Xiangyun being the girl of the Shi family, if it weren't for Shi Xiangyun's mother standing behind him, if it weren't for the fact that he would have lost his identity if he hadn't dealt with a little doll like Shi Xiangyun, I was afraid that Jia Yu would have taught him a lesson.

Therefore, these days, Jia Yu has a big opinion of Shi Xiangyun. His dislike for Shi Xiangyun even exceeded the sum of Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing's negative feelings for Shi Xiangyun.

Today can be regarded as a family meeting on Jia Yu's side. Because Jia Yu's branch is only three men, and Mrs. Xing has become a vegetative person, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing can stand here. Listen to Jia Yu. After the careful teaching of the grandmothers in the palace, Jia Jiu finally understood that as a daughter, she rushed to catch her father in front of her brothers. In fact, it is a very unruly thing. Especially Jia Lian is still his elder brother.

Therefore, after a year of time adjustment, Jia Jiu finally learned that when Jia Lian was present, he would express silence at the right time, and leave the opportunity to Jia Lian and Jia Cong. Even if Jia Cong is still a half-old child.

Sure enough, Jia Lian was silent for a long time. Only then did he say softly: "Father, since Rong's daughter-in-law is not the right person. Why did Dongfu and the Qin family get married in the first place? Didn't you say that the eldest uncle of Dongfu had suffered a lot at the hands of that woman? ”

Jia Yu snorted, pointed in the direction of the Buddha Hall, and said, "Don't underestimate the means over there. Being able to catch that woman, kill your mother and brother without knowing it, and clear your suspicions afterwards, without leaving a trace of horses, do you think there really has no means over there? If it weren't for the fact that he had stayed in the Rongxi Hall for a long time and lost his vigilance, if it wasn't for your sister who found out that something was wrong and made trouble in the Jinluan Hall in the first place, I am afraid that it would be our family who died in the end. ”

Jia Lian immediately lowered his hand and stood up: "It's my son who is too naïve." ”

As soon as he got up, Jia Jiu, Jia Cong, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing all stood up.

Jia Yu waved his hand and motioned for his sons, daughters and granddaughters to sit down, and then said, "As for the identity of Rong's daughter-in-law, I have actually been thinking about it for several years. After all, it was no secret that Prince Yizhong had a relationship with that woman. Moreover, before they were completely defeated, the Wang girl did not appear in front of people for a while. Therefore, whether it is the age or birthday of Rong's daughter-in-law, I am afraid that even the above is suspicious. The above is reluctant to do anything, nothing more than the following aspects. Although Prince Lao Yizhong was executed by the order of the Emperor, he was also the prince whom the Emperor had high hopes for, otherwise he would not have sat on the throne of the prince for more than ten years. If Rong's daughter-in-law is really the child of Prince Lao Yizhong and the daughter of the Wang family, then the Emperor Taishang will also be open to Rong's daughter-in-law for the sake of Prince Lao Yizhong's death. Another reason is to test the present day. ”

When it comes to this last sentence, it is to keep the voice to a minimum.

Jia Lian also said: "Father, Rong's daughter-in-law is a female stream after all, and she is a sinister species, even if he is really the child of Prince Lao Yizhong, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." Therefore, the Emperor Taishang kept him, and he didn't do anything now. As long as the Dongfu is not stupid enough to talk about Prince Lao Yizhong, whether it is the emperor or the current long live, he will not take Rong's daughter-in-law what to do. Therefore, the son thought that this matter was not a matter of the top, but someone made an assertion and took the life of Rong's daughter-in-law as a vote, and at the same time, he could also take this opportunity to hold Brother Zhen in his hands. ……”

Jia Yu raised his head suddenly, but he had already guessed what Jia Lian was going to say next.

The faces of the two of them were shocked, and they both scolded the viciousness and stupidity of the person who did this kind of thing.

The Emperor Taishang and the current emperor have tolerated this Qin Keqing, let him grow up to this age peacefully, and let him marry into Ning Guofu with a large dowry, obviously not planning to pursue this woman who was still a baby and didn't know anything. It's good for you to jump out one by one and make your own claims, thinking that in this way you can please the emperor and the present?

Don't be stupid!

Even if it is a cheap granddaughter who is tossed, Jia Yu, a timid and fearful master, will be angry. changed the emperor, a granddaughter who he deliberately left a way to survive was killed, and it is strange that the emperor will be happy!

and the current emperor, he didn't plan to pursue it, and as a result, someone made the decision for him and killed this cheap niece. You must know that compared to those people in Ping'an Prefecture, this cheap niece is less threatening. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Keqing's identity could not be disclosed, the current emperor would not mind using Qin Keqing to show his own tolerance. Since these people dared to attack Qin Keqing even though they knew Qin Keqing's identity, how could they be sure that if they had a chance in the future, they would definitely not attack him, the king?!

This alone is a royal taboo.

Jia Yu and Jia Lian can be sure at this moment that if Qin Keqing is really dead, they are afraid that the Jia family will be finished, and even those who know about it may not be good. Therefore, Qin Keqing must not die, not only can he not die, but he must also live well. But if he does not die, then the one who dies must be ......

With his mind racing, Jia Yu stood up and said, "I can't help but tell Brother Jing about this." Lian'er, you accompany me to Dongfu. Two girls,. Look at the house, pay attention to some people over there. ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly responded.

A gentleman like Jia Yu can guess this kind of thing, let alone Jia Jing. can be admitted to the Jinshi, and can save his life and his family in the series of things of Prince Lao Yizhong, how can Jia Jing be a fool?

Therefore, after the incident happened, he immediately blocked the news, tied up Jia Zhen, and asked Jiao Da to guard it personally with Lao Ning Guogong's personal soldiers, and asked Jia Rong to accompany Qin Keqing in case Qin Keqing had an accident. But after worshipping his ancestors during the Qingming Festival, he locked himself in the study and didn't see anyone.

Jia Yu saw that at this time, this eldest brother was still so negative and wanted to escape, so he immediately rushed up and knocked on the door of Jia Jing's study.

At the beginning, there was no movement inside, so panicked that Jia Yu hurriedly called someone to smash Jia Jing's study open.

At this mess, the study room opened, and Jia Jing, whose beard and hair were messy like straw, opened the door. Jia Yu raised his eyes and saw that in just a few days, Jia Jing had lost weight to a handful of bones, and his eyes were even deeper.

"Brother Jing, you are ......"

Jia Jing said in a low voice: "It turned out to be a virtuous brother, and the virtuous brother will come, so do you have something to tell me?" Come in. ”

Jia Yu hurriedly asked Jia Lian to guard at the door, followed Jia Jing in, and closed the door.

After entering the study, the host sat down, poured a cup of tea for Jia Yu with the cold tea on the table, and said, "Brother Xian is here for Zhen'er, right?" ”

Jia Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, big brother." ”

Jia Jing smiled desolate and said, "When you were studying, I still taught you the homework, and I am not familiar with your temperament?" If it weren't for the fact that things were very strict, you wouldn't have come to my place before you left and smashed the door of my study. ”

"To Big Brother......"

Jia Jing said: "Time flies so fast, I still remember when you and I studied together." In the blink of an eye, we have gray hair, I even have grandchildren, and your son has reached the age of marriage......"

"Big Brother ......"

Jia Jing said: "I still remember when Zhen'er was young, when he was born, he was only so big, like a kitten, because he was born prematurely, he even cried thin and low, and I was able to hold him up with two hands." At that time, I was so happy that he was my first child. At that time, I thought more than once about teaching him to study hard, and let him be like me, taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. But who would have thought that I woke up so early from my dream, and the day before I was still a high-spirited new jinshi, but unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, I could only hide and shiver under the protection of my family. If it weren't for your sister-in-law, I would ...... I...... I promised your sister-in-law that I would take good care of his children for him, I promised him. I promised ......"

Jia Yu didn't dare to say a word.

He already knew Jia Jing's decision. (To be continued......)
