Ningguo Mansion, a small set of courtyards behind the ancestral hall.

Jia Qiang looked at the terrifying body with hair like withered grass, her face purple, and her eyes not closed, and her face was indifferent.

Jia Jing's death was not unexpected.

When I saw him last time, he didn't eat grains of rice, and he made a living by knocking pills, and he was confused.

But looking at his death, I don't know if he was sober for a moment before he died......

"Before the grandfather died, what did he leave behind?"

Jia Qiang looked at Jiao Da, who was kneeling in front of the body, and asked softly.

Jiao Da Urn said: "It's just to scold Hou Ye for not dying well, there will be karma in the future, he is waiting below......"

"Presumptuous!"

Shang Zhuo stepped forward and shouted angrily.

Jia Qiang waved her hand, and after a long silence, she asked again, "Did you leave anything behind before the master left?" ”

After a pause, Jiao Da shook his head and said, "No." ”

Seeing this, Jia Qiang frowned slightly and glanced at Li Jing.

Li Jing understood, exited the Danfang, and took people to Jiaoda's residence to look for it.

Jia Qiang looked at Jiao Da and sighed: "Old Steward Jiao, you are an old lady, and the ancestor was the companion of the old ancestor back then." Once saved the life of the old ancestor on the battlefield, it was you who carried the injured old Ning Guogong out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, the water on the road was not enough to drink, you drank horse urine yourself, but left the water for the old Guogong. After returning to Beijing, Lao Guogong wanted to promote you several times, but you refused to accept it, and was willing to be a groom in the stable. This kind of loyalty, I understand, cannot be bought by small favors.

But you have to understand that I didn't want to buy you. You have seen with your own eyes that the three generations of Jia Jing, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong's ancestors and grandchildren have turned into what the foundation and disaster left by the ancestor Ning Guo have become. Besides, did I come to this family business with all my heart? If Jia Rong doesn't give Jia Zhen that kind of medicine, Jia Zhen won't have a bad disease, Jia Zhen won't beat Jia Rong into a paralyzed person, Jia Rong is a serious inheritor, and it's none of my business at all.

Can you blame me for falling to this point today? I got this family business because I am also the great-grandson left by the grandfather of the old country! Jia Jing himself ruined this family business like this, it was the grandfather of the old country who chose me in the spirit of heaven to revive the family!

Of course Jia Jing will not be subdued, he wants to harm me, but not for the Jia family, he just wants to take a bad breath. But if he does this, he will definitely harm the entire Jia family, and Ning Guofu will bear the brunt!

Old Steward Jiao, do you always want to see that the foundation left by the old prince in his life is lost in the hands of that old fool? ”

When Jiao Da heard this, his burly body trembled, and he knelt there, his dark face twitched a few times......

Jia Qiang took half a step forward, knelt beside Jiao Da, approached him to observe him, and asked softly, "Jia Jing, but what is left, what Prince Yizhong left behind?" ”

These words exploded in Jiao Da's ears like thunder, he turned his head, looked at Jia Qiang with an old face as if he had seen a ghost, and said in a lost voice: "You know everything?" ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she sighed and said, "Isn't it all like this in the big house?" If you can't endure hardship, you don't want to go to the nine sides to experience, you have eaten the sand for more than ten or twenty years, and you are not willing to decline from generation to generation, so you will naturally go sideways. Self-righteous people tend to be smart, with few exceptions. They put the treasure on the children and grandchildren of Prince Yizhong, and hoped to gain the trust of others by virtue of their loyalty to raise Prince Yizhong's orphans...... played a good calculation, but unfortunately, Dafang didn't expect that the big thing was not completed, and the son of Prince Yizhong had not yet been completed, and Dafang died first. Can he die willingly?

I guess if he directly asks you to take something to harm me, you will not agree to it, and he knows it. So, he wants you to take Prince Yizhong's things and find a chance to give them to King Ningjun? So that King Ningjun knows that the Jia family also has the bloodline of Prince Yizhong, and the mansion of Ningfu is full of loyal martyrs, isn't it? ”

The more Jiao Da listened, the whiter his old face became, and he looked at Jia Qiang like a ghost, and said in disbelief: "You...... How do you know? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's very simple, although Jia Jing wants to cut my body into thousands of pieces, but there is very little he can really do, or in other words, the only way to cause me great harm is this." ”

As soon as the words fell, before Jiao Da could say anything, he saw Li Jing hurriedly come in, holding a small thing in her hand, wrapped in apricot yellow brocade.

Seeing this thing, Jiao Da was completely silent, kneeling there with a disgraced face.

After Jia Qiang took it, he opened the old layer of apricot yellow brocade silk, and saw what was inside, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

Jia Qiang didn't expect that what Jia Jing left in his hand would actually be a treasure seal!

Of course, the crown prince does not have an imperial seal, so this treasure seal was given to Prince Yizhong by Emperor Jingchu, that is, Emperor Taishang.

In this world, what can prove Keqing's identity better than this?

What could be more deadly than this?!

Once this thing falls into the hands of King Ning, what kind of storm can he set off with this!

With Keqing here, the Jia family will have 10,000 mouths by then, and it will not be clear.

Even if Emperor Long An takes care of Lin Ruhai again, he is an emperor after all!

Even the second prince can succeed him, let alone a courtier?

Jia Qiang couldn't think of the possibility that the Jia family would be spared......

"Uncle Shang, send someone to escort Jiao Lao Steward to Liaodong Zhuangzi and become a foreman."

After Jia Qiang stood up, she didn't look at Jiao Da again, but instructed Shang Zhuo to say.

originally planned to give Jiao Da a good death, but in the end, he sympathized with Changfang and did such a thing, whether he was intentional or not, whether he was deceived or not, Jia Qiang could not give him a second chance.

Jiao Da didn't say anything, Liaodong Zhuangzi was the foreman of farming, and naturally he was far from being comfortable with serving a ancestral hall in the Guogong Mansion.

But Jiao Da would rather go to a bitter cold place and suffer from the cold, rather than face the god position of Lao Ning Guogong in the ancestral hall all day long.

Such a day made him suffer a lot!

After Jiao Da went out, Li Jing stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to ......?"

As he spoke, he wiped it on his neck.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Forget it, without this thing, even if there are rumors, it is nothing to us." What's more, Jiao Da is a loyal servant and will never betray the Jia family. Let him go to Liaodong and farm until he dies. ”

After that, he turned around and walked out of the Dan room, and said in a deep voice to Li Yong, the housekeeper waiting in the courtyard: "Hang white, report the funeral!" ”

Li Yong hurriedly responded, but said: "Master Hou, just now the door came in, saying that there was a guest, and it was Zhao Guogong's little grandson and his wife. ”

“……”

Jia Qiang frowned at first, then sneered, and then ordered: "Hang white, report the funeral!" ”

……

Ning House, Front Hall.

Looking at the white flags hanging up in Ning Guo's mansion, Jiang Linma's face seemed to be longer than before......

Zhen Yuhuan's pretty face was pale, her eyes were full of sadness, and tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes, as if they had never dried up.

Jiang Lin saw it, couldn't bear it in his heart, and blamed himself: "Yuhuan, Jiang family...... It should have come forward. But you also know that the house is a mess now. In order to protect himself, his grandfather personally circled his second uncle, and his father's throne was ...... The other uncles, the good ones were only sent to the Xishan Ruijian camp as a junior general, and the bad ones were directly idle at home, and there were a few who were sent to the prison of the military department. Outside it is said that Zhao Guogong's Mansion is going to be bad, and at this time, my grandfather is also difficult to protect himself, so I can't help you, I'm ashamed in my heart, otherwise, you can beat me a few times......"

Hearing that Jiang Lin could talk about this, what else could Zhen Yuhuan say, but in her cold and worried heart, she felt a little more comforting warmth, and cried: "I was originally a married daughter, but now I am a member of the Jiang family." When the Jiang family is also suffering, how dare they drag down the Jiang family because of their mother's family affairs? I didn't blame my husband. It's just that I didn't expect that something happened to the Jia family......"

Before Jiang Lin could speak, he heard a voice that made him disgusted from the bottom of his heart, but this voice was still gentle:

"Although something happened to my Jia family, but Sister Yuhuan came to the door, and I can't see it."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lin and Zhen Yuhuan hurriedly looked back, and saw Jia Qiang, who was dressed in filial piety, entering from behind, her eyes looked a little red and swollen, her sorrow was not gone, and there were still tears on her face, but when they looked at Zhen Yuhuan, there was a lot of concern.

This scene really moved Zhen Yuhuan's heart, and even her sad eyes became excited.

In contrast, Jiang Lin's rank was compared all at once.

This made Jiang Lin's long face, which was originally a little like a shoehorn, grow a lot.

looked at Jia Qiang with unkind eyes, and always felt that this guy had some vicious thoughts about planting grassland on his head......

Those shabby things in Jia Jianing's Mansion are nothing new in the circle of the powerful in the capital.

Of course, the Jiang family is not much better.

But Jiang Lin himself understands that those rumors of the Jiang family are really just rumors.

Although Jiang Duo, the old man, scolded him for being a meaty man, he treated his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in private as daughters and granddaughters.

But the Jia family, hehe......

Jia Qiang nodded with Zhen Yuhuan first, and then her eyes fell on Jiang Lin's face.

Men know men best, just looking at Jiang Lin's eyes when he looked at him, Jia Qiang knew what this grandson was thinking, so he sneered: "Don't think of our Jia family as your Jiang family, and spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" ”

When Jiang Lin heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud.

However, I remembered that I had a request for someone to come to the door today, so I didn't say much, just hehe.

After the three of them sat down, Zhen Yuhuan asked Jia Qiang: "Brother Qiang, this is the ...... in the house."

Jia Qiang shook her head and sighed, and said, "The old lady in the family has just passed away, and because I am also in the long house, I have to mourn for a year in a grandson's dress." ”

Although the military generals do not have to be like Wenchen, they need to go to the official to worry.

There is no need to be taboo to enter the palace, but in the end, it is a mourning to bear the burden, at least for half a year.

Hearing Jia Qiang's words, Zhen Yuhuan hurriedly expressed her condolences to Jia Qiang and asked him to mourn and change.

After Jia Qiang thanked her, she said, "Second sister came here today, what do you have to order?" ”

"This ......"

Originally, Zhen Yuhuan would not hesitate to ask for each other, even if she knelt on the ground.

But now that the Jia family is in mourning, Jia Qiang still has to serve filial piety, and it will be too embarrassing to speak at this time.

Besides, during Jia Qiang's filial piety, she can't let people run around for the Zhen family's affairs!

Zhen Yuhuan was kind in her heart and couldn't bear to bother, but Jiang Lin didn't have this scruples, and said: "Ning Hou, I came with Neizi today, and the person who did it was nothing else, but the Zhen family." I don't believe it, with Ning Hou's ears and eyes, I haven't heard of the Zhen family......"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said in surprise: "The matter of the Zhen family? What happened to the Zhen family? I really haven't heard of it, in the past February, in addition to official business, I am national filial piety, family filial piety, just in addition to national filial piety, and now here is heavy filial piety. My husband also lives in the Wuying Hall all day long, and he doesn't go back to Buzheng Fang when he is idle, what am I talking about? ”

Hearing him say this, Zhen Yuhuan couldn't bear to disturb each other more and more, and hesitated whether to go back with a gift.

Jiang Lin sneered: "It's okay, Ning Hou didn't know before, now I'll talk about it." The Zhen family is a century-old friend of your Jia family, and they are old relatives. Now in the imperial court, for the crime of dereliction of duty and corruption, to thoroughly investigate the Zhen family in Jiangnan, it is mainly based on your husband's household. Ning Hou, with the relationship between the Jia family and the Zhen family, it's not good to sit idly by in this matter? ”

Jia Qiang blinked and said, "What are the Zhen family afraid of when they are investigated, the clear ones will clear themselves!" Then he looked at Zhen Yuhuan and promised: "Second sister, don't worry, I will tell my husband when I turn around, and no one will be allowed to pour sewage on the Zhen family." Now that I am wearing heavy filial piety, it is not good to go out at will, but with the relationship between the Jia family and the Zhen family, as well as the care of my second sister when I was in Huaiyin, I promise that I will never let people slander the Zhen family! The younger brother can not do much, but it is better than some people, it is clear that the family is in charge of the power of the soldiers and horses in the world, but it is good to push it out! Second sister, don't be too sad, women in this world account for nine out of ten who are unladylike. But if anyone dares to bully you, just send me a letter and let me know. Since they know that the Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives for a hundred years, I will never allow anyone to bully you! ”

As soon as the words fell, just as Jiang Lin's face was about to grow to the ground, Li Yong hurriedly came in and said, "Master Hou, all the masters, masters, and uncles in the clan have arrived." In addition, the Zhenguo Mansion, the Liguo Mansion and other public waiting mansions also came. You are the only master in the family, do you see if it is ......"

When Zhen Yuhuan heard this, she became more and more ashamed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Qiang, you go and get busy with yours, let's go back first." ”

After Jia Qiang nodded in response, she turned around and warned Jiang Lin: "Ben Hou doesn't care if this idea comes from your family's old bones or your kid is suffocating." But Ben Hou warns you that the Jiang family should be kind to my second sister. Otherwise, isn't your Jiang family pretending to be miserable? Benhou can fulfill you and make you miserable! ”

After that, after glancing at Jiang Lin coldly, he turned around and left.
