Chapter 16, Final Chapter 1 Departure

Jia Jiu's re-ascent to Yuqing Mountain can be said to be highly anticipated.

Of course, it can also be said to be expected.

Almost all the people in Jingshi know that the third round of Daomen's assessment of Jia Jiu is about to begin, so from the day the autumn hunt ends, some people secretly bet behind their backs that Jia Jiu will be able to stay at home for a few days.

Even the sisters Jia Qian and Jia Qing, who had already married, found an opportunity to go back to the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, not to mention the Lin family sisters and brothers. Lin Daiyu took them to Jia's house as guests, and even Jia Rong and Qin Keqing in Ningguo's mansion and Xing Xiuyan who had just come out of confinement also came.

What should come is always coming.

Regardless of whether Jia Yu can accept it or not, the day has come for Jia Jiu to officially go to Yuqing Mountain.

On this day, Jia Jiu got up according to the usual time, took a careful bath, and finished grooming, but instead of putting on the clothes prepared for him at home, he put on a golden robe, which was men's, so Jia Jiu was wearing pants underneath, not a skirt. The golden robe, with straight lines, lined with Jia Jiu's calm face, looked particularly solemn and strong, and did not have the gentle and friendly appearance of talking in the past. Jia Jiu's usual clothes are very soft, and she looks no different from those ladies. But this dress was worn on Jia Jiu's body, but it made Jia Jiu look particularly domineering.

Jia Jiu didn't comb his hair in a bun, and of course, he didn't wear a Taoist crown, but combed his hair up little by little, and then tied a high ponytail. In this process, Jia Jiu did not let the girl get close at all, but moved her own hands.

The golden headband that binds the hair is decorated with long golden tassels at the ends. Hanging behind the ears, it complements the tassels on the morning sun of the sky sheath.

Seeing Jia Jiu dressed up by himself, Qiu Dianzan suddenly remembered. The county lord of Jia who he served by himself is a master who has been on the battlefield.

Qiu Dianzan led someone to send Jia Jiu to the gate of the courtyard.

They knew that Jia Jiu would probably never come back. But the quality of the people who came out of the palace was so good, not only did they not show anything on their faces, but even the girls they trained did not have the slightest color on their faces, as if Jia Jiu went out today just to say goodbye to the elders. I'll be back in two days.

In fact, as early as the day before, Jia Jiu said goodbye to his family. Just considering that this trip may not come back. Jia Jiu still went to Jia's mother's house again.

Although Jia Mu was lying on the bed and couldn't speak, she understood it in her heart. He pulled Jia Jiu, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, but because his mouth was crooked. In the end, he still couldn't express his sincere intentions clearly.

As a grandmother. Of course, Jia's mother cares about the grandchildren in the family. Jia Baoyu had a vision, and Jia's mother thought that Jia Baoyu would definitely glorify her ancestors, so she was very different from Jia Baoyu. But Jia Jiu is also Jia's mother's most proud granddaughter, and Jia's mother's expectations for Jia Jiu even exceeded Jia Yuanchun for a time. Even if Jia Jiu didn't become the imperial concubine in the end, it would be the same.

Now, Jia Jiu wants to go to Yuqing Mountain, and Jia's mother is even more reluctant.

In addition to worrying about her granddaughter, Jia's mother is also thinking about herself.

Jia's mother knew that although her son was filial. But in the end, men are not as careful as women in many things. The granddaughter-in-law, Shang, has recently become pregnant again, so naturally there is no place to go. If Jia Jiu goes out, I'm afraid that his life will be sad.

The minions of the Jia family are like this, when others dial it, they move. When no one is in charge, they are waiting for the opportunity to be lazy.

In the past, Jia's mother liked to be broad, liked good names, and was very tolerant of those girls, but she didn't like juniors to reprimand the girls in her yard, thinking that this was a loss of face. This kind of behavior directly indulged these girls and mothers-in-law very arrogantly, and some even bullied the serious girl of the Jia family. But now, Jia's mother is sick, and it is the time when she needs someone to take care of her, if no one is staring at those minions, Jia's mother's life will not be easy.

Jia Mu regretted it, but it was too late to regret it.

Although the mandarin duck is capable, she is a girl in the end. The reason why Mandarin Duck can be so decent in the Rongguo Marquis Mansion is because there is Jia Mu standing behind him, and many times, what he says directly represents Jia Mu. But Jia's mother has become like this, and the day of recovery is far away, and the authority and influence of the mandarin duck will naturally plummet.

Therefore, apart from Jia Yu, who else is most reluctant to Jia Jiu, Jia's mother recognized the second, and no one dared to admit the first.

Jia Jiu couldn't stop Jia Jiu, she could only let Jia Jiu groom him, clean his face, wipe his hands and feet, and trim his nails, but she couldn't express her meaning clearly, and of course she couldn't stop Jia Jiu from leaving.

The ladies also gathered in Jia's mother's house, because Jia's mother was seriously ill, so no one shed tears at this moment, but Xiang Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing, their eyes were red, and Xing Xiuyan and Xichun's eyes also had obvious traces of being rubbed. Not to mention the rest of the few people.

Only Tanchun glanced at Jia Jiu quickly, and quickly lowered his head and hid his expression.

Everyone watched in silence as Jia Jiu finished all this, and only then did they come over to say goodbye to Jia Jiu again, and watched Jia Jiu walk out with the sword on his back.

At this moment, even Xia Jingui, who was completely unfamiliar with Jia Jiu, felt sour in his heart.

Xia Jingui has heard that there are many gold-clothed Taoists in Daomen, and the assessment of gold-clothed Taoists is extremely strict, and it is unknown whether Jia Jiu can survive the assessment or not.

Xia Jingui knew that his identity was not enough, although it was more than enough to match Jia Baoyu, the son of a sinner, but he couldn't do it in this mansion. But his sister-in-law still looks down on him, but Jia Jiu, who is not a cousin, has a lot of tolerance for him, and even has his share in things, how can Xia Jingui not sigh? And how not to be sentimental?

Jia Lian, Jia Cong, the Lin family brothers, Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu were all waiting at the door of the hanging flowers, and Jia Lian was even talking to Lin Yu. Jia Lian and Lin Yu took special leave from the yamen, and even Jia Cong rushed back from the academy.

They are well aware of this distinction. It is likely that he will not see him in this life, even if he pretends to be casual, but this face still brings out a little.

Next. They will send Jia Jiu out. Because the ladies have no important reason, they can't go out of the second door.

Jia Jiu walked out of the weeping flower door and did not go directly to the front, but went to Jia Yu's outer study first.

Jia Yu couldn't bear to be separated, so he moved to the outer study two days earlier, and when Jia Jiu went to say goodbye to Jia Yu yesterday, he didn't see Jia Yu at all.

Jia Yu is a cowardly man. When there is something, when I don't want to face it, I will hide in the outer study. When Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was majestic in the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Yu has been pretending to be quails in the outer study for many years.

When he encounters something, he hides in the outer study.

He couldn't accept the fact that his daughter was probably gone, so he hid in the outer study again.

Jia Jiu stood patiently at the door of the outer study, waiting quietly until Venus sank in the west. Wait until the golden rooster dawns. also waited for Jia Yu to open the door of the outer study.

Jia Yu still came out.

"You're leaving?"

"Yes, father."

"When will you be back?"

"If you pass the assessment, if there are no other arrangements on Yuqing Mountain, you will come back."

Jia Jiu didn't say at all how he didn't pass the assessment, nor did he say that there were arrangements on Yuqing Mountain after passing the assessment, so what would he do.

Jia Yu didn't ask.

That kind of assumption is simply unacceptable to Jia Yu.

The father and daughter stood quietly for a while, and then Jia Jiu slowly knelt down and kowtowed to his father. He said goodbye to his father and turned to leave.

Jia Yu watched her daughter walk away step by step. Suddenly burst into tears.

When Jia Jiu waited for his father to open the door, Jia Lian and the others did not come closer, but waited at the corner, and when they saw Jia Jiu coming over, Jia Lian couldn't help but stand up straight.

Jia Jiu walked up to Jia Lian and said to his brother, "Let's go." ”

Jia Lian sighed, opened his mouth, and finally changed his words: "I'll prepare a car for my sister." It's still far from Yuqing Mountain. My sister's sword is not light. ”

Jia Jiu said: "No need. The sheath of dawn is not heavy on me. Brother, in the future, the family will ask you and sister-in-law. ”

Jia Lian nodded and said, "I know, you have to be good too." ”

"Hmm."

Jia Lian sighed, but still didn't say what he had said to Lin Yu.

Seeing Jia Jiu's golden robe, Jia Lian knew that some things had already become a foregone conclusion, and it was too late to change his words.

Jia Jiu came here when he was eight years old, and now he is twenty years old, a full thirteen years, in these thirteen years, Jia Jiu has protected his father, helped his brother, cultivated his younger brother, and even made salt and fertilizer.

Although it is said that he borrowed the strength of others, for Jia Jiu, it is not easy for him to be a girl to get to this point.

The repertoire of the Red Chamber has fallen, and in the future, these people who were once just characters in a book for Jia Jiu, but were finally accepted and recognized by Jia Jiu as their relatives, their lives will continue according to fixed steps, and Jia Jiu's life will continue. It's just that he will be on a different path, and his relationship with the world will be reduced to the extreme.

Regarding the matter in his hands, Jia Jiu had already arranged it. The people and things on the other side of the Daomen naturally returned to the Daomen, and the things that belonged to the crown and belt of the court clothes had already been registered and booked, and they were placed in the ear room in front of his landlord, and they were visited with those royal gifts. The things he got from the palace in previous years were also cleaned up and put away in different categories. If he goes here and doesn't come back, or dies in the assessment, then these things will naturally be sent to it through Qiu Dianzan's hands.

Jia Jiu had many antique calligraphy and paintings in his hands, all of which were left to Jia Yu.

Pen and ink stationery and other things were distributed to Jia Lian, Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu. The painting tools and the good paper collected by Jia Jiu were left to Xichun.

There are also some ornaments and other things, which are also divided according to the proximity. From Jia Mu Jia Yu to the people of the Rongguo Hou Mansion, to the Lin family sisters and brothers and the Ning Guofu Xichun Jia Rong Qin Keqing, the married Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters, and finally to Jia Baoyu Xia Jingui Tanchun Jia Huan, they all got it. The difference is only a difference in the number and value of the gift.

Then there are some things that Jia Jiu used every day, which are also left in Qiu Dianzan's hands, waiting to be handed over to Princess Changle one day.

Jia Jiu was ready.

Jia Lian asked people to open the side door and accompanied Jia Jiu out of this gorgeous mansion.

Jia Lian prepared a car for Jia Jiu, but Jia Jiu didn't sit down.

The moment the door opened, Jia Jiu's face had an extra beast mask. He planned to walk to Yuqing Mountain step by step. This is also due to the importance of assessment.

For Jia Jiu, carrying the heavenly sheath Chenxi, which weighs more than 100 catties, from the Rongguo Marquis Mansion to Yuqing Mountain has no problem at all, on the contrary, walking can calm him down more than taking a car.

Jia Jiu refused Jia Lian's accompaniment, and walked into the street under the morning light step by step.

Before he walked a few steps, he saw someone at the end of the street driving an ox cart hurrying over, and saw Jia Jiu wearing a mask and a golden robe, and the people on the ox cart shouted from afar: "Second sister, I can catch up." ”

The lean young man on the ox cart is not Jia Huan, and which one is it?

"Huan'er, why are you here?"

Jia Huan said: "Second sister, I only got the news yesterday, I rushed to the city gate overnight, stayed up until dawn in the tea house at the city gate, and was the first to enter the door when the city gate opened, which can be regarded as letting me catch up." Second sister, don't blame me for being late. ”

Jia Jiu looked at Jia Huan and said, "You have grown up." ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "Second sister, people always have to grow up. At the beginning, if it wasn't for my second sister taking care of me and guiding me to study, I'm afraid I still don't know anything. ”

Jia is younger than Xichun, only thirteen or fourteen years old, but the information in these two eyes is not like a child of this age at all, compared to Jia Baoyu, he is more like an adult who has already married a family, has assertiveness and responsibility, and has the least means to deal with things.

Jia Huan is already a qualified head of the family.

Jia Jiu said: "Huan'er, you came alone, doesn't it matter?" ”

Jia Huan said: "It doesn't matter, this is Uncle Zhao from our village, thanks to his help, I can catch up, and I will go back with him when I turn around." ”

Jia Jiu noticed the man who was driving the car, and hurriedly greeted the other party. Even Jia Lian and the others who were standing under the plaque noticed this side and walked over.

Regarding the matter in his hands, Jia Jiu had already arranged it. The people and things on the other side of the Daomen naturally returned to the Daomen, and the things that belonged to the crown and belt of the court clothes had already been registered and booked, and they were placed in the ear room in front of his landlord, and they were visited with those royal gifts. The things he got from the palace in previous years were also cleaned up and put away in different categories. If he goes here and doesn't come back, or dies in the assessment, then these things will naturally be sent to it through Qiu Dianzan's hands.

Jia Jiu had many antique calligraphy and paintings in his hands, all of which were left to Jia Yu. (To be continued......)
