Chapter Seventy-Six: Silence
However, it was said that the Rongguo Mansion had been silent for more than a month, and Jia Zheng learned the ins and outs of the matter from Jia Zhen's mouth, and he was frightened, worried that the matter would fail and affect the entire Jia Mansion, but the matter had come to this point, but there was nothing to be done.
Until this day, there was a report of arrival sent by the palace, only to know that the king of Dongping had just ascended the throne for seven days, and he died suddenly in the rebellion, and now it is the king of Beijing who inherited the unification, called Wencheng Wu Deren Emperor, changed the name of the country to Taiping, and the rebellious king of Xining was defeated.
Jia Zheng's heart fell, but a eunuch came to announce the decree, saying that Jia Rong had made meritorious service with the king of Beijing to quell the rebellion, died in battle, and was posthumously crowned a hussar general; As for Jia Zheng, he was still walking in the ministry and ordered him to enter the palace to face the saint in the future.
When Jia Zheng and the others heard this, they thanked Enbi, and their hearts rose again.
When the eunuch who delivered the decree left, Jia Zheng said to Jia Zhen and Jia Lian: "You are doing this earth-shattering thing behind your back, but you are hiding it from me, fortunately, now that the overall situation has been decided, there is no big aftermath, otherwise, you will be sinners!
Jia Zhen was haunted by Jia Rong's death, and it was inevitable that she just shed old tears and didn't dare to speak.
Jia Lian said: "Now that Rong'er is also considered to have died, I think the palace will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, as long as the lord follows Emperor Ren's will, the lord will be added all the way to the knight." ”
Jia Zheng sneered: "Add an official to the knight? You said it well, don't do any more troubles, I will be Amitabha." I don't know what else you've done behind your backs, so don't let anything get turned out. ”
When Jia Lian heard this, he didn't dare to answer.
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Zhen sadly, so he had to say: "You also mourn! The matter was stabbed out by you, and now this result is already a blessing in great misfortune." Although Brother Rong is dead, he can be regarded as a well-deserved death. It's just that now the day has become so fast that it's like flipping through a book. Thinking of my Jia family, if there are any hidden dangers, I think it can only be in the Grand View Garden. ”
Jia Zhen had to wipe away her tears and sighed: "I only have such a son, I wanted to rely on him to be rich and rich, but I didn't expect him to die in battle." That's right, I'm also quiet. It's just that the old man said about the Grand View Garden, could it be that he was referring to the smiling layman?"
Jia Zheng sighed: "Who else is there besides her! You also know that she was the most blue-eyed person of King Beijing that day, and now King Beijing has inherited the unification, if he thinks of her for a while, how can he not summon her into the palace." But I heard that this smiling monk has always been above the top, and never puts anyone in his eyes, and has the same virtue as that Miaoyu, and if she refuses to answer the summons to the palace at that time, this matter will have to fall on us, after all, she still lives in our Grand View Garden, and it was the evil obstacle that brought her into the palace that day. ”
Jia Lian said: "What's this, although she lives in the Grand View Garden in our house, we have never treated her badly." In theory, she was originally a free body, and if she should not be summoned to the palace, she would have nothing to do with us. ”
Jia Zheng said angrily: "Don't forget, now she is still a guest in our house." If she is not summoned at that time, the emperor will only talk to us, but who will we talk to!"
Jia Zhen said: "The master is also very worried. If the emperor can't get people, but people live in our garden, but we still dare to go to the emperor for theory? The emperor just makes an excuse and says that our house is duplicitous and secretly ties her heart, then what can we say! There are only minions in the world who are not, and there are no masters who are not. As the saying goes, 'a fire in the city will affect the fish in the pond', so we must not prevent it. ”
reminded Jia Zheng with a word, and Jia Zheng exclaimed: "You quickly go and move the evil obstacle and others out of the Grand View Garden, and only leave the maid to serve in the Concave Crystal Pavilion." From now on, all men are not allowed to enter the Grand View Garden without my permission. ”
Jia Lian said, "Master, what do you mean?"
Jia Zhen interjected: "Why don't you understand! This smiling layman can't say that she wants to be a mother in the world in the future, since she lives in the Concave Crystal Pavilion, how can she dare to live in other idle people." ”
Jia Lian immediately understood, and wanted to leave, but Jia Zheng stopped: "Wait, I'm afraid this matter is also a symptom but not a cure." If she has an awkward relationship with Emperor Ren in the future and refuses to answer the summons to enter the palace, we still can't get out of the relationship, and we have to think of a perfect plan for the future. ”
Jia Zheng paced back and forth, but he couldn't think of a way for a while, but outside Sister Feng helped Mrs. Wang in.
Mrs. Wang said: "The lord is worried about Baoyu! If she thinks of Baoyu in her heart, I don't see it, but I don't see it, but the evil obstacle runs to the Concave Crystal Pavilion every now and then, and she can't help it, so I think it's better to move Baoyu in and live with me for the time being." As for the matter of the smiling layman, let's think about it again. This one can avoid suspicion, and even if there is anything in the future, at least it will be less involved, so as not to leave a handle for others. ”
Jia Zheng couldn't think of a good way for a while, but Sister Feng said: "Since this is the case, I don't think a long pain is better than a short pain." ”
Mrs. Wang said, "Why is it better to have a long pain than a short pain?" ”
Sister Feng saluted Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and said: "Since we can't afford to offend that Xiaoxiao layman, we can't hide for a while, we can't get rid of it, and it's natural to withdraw all our people, but this is not enough, we simply gave her the Grand View Garden and let her practice in it alone." Since then, Daguanyuan has nothing to do with us, and even if she has any awkwardness with the palace in the future, we will not be implicated. This can avoid disasters, and secondly, it can also reduce many unnecessary expenses. Since our mother's death, the nunnery and temples, as well as many places, have been idle and useless, and have added a lot of money, not to mention that it is a great expense to send people to watch the house and clean the night. ”
As soon as Sister Feng's words came out, everyone looked sideways.
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said, "That's an idea." We have experienced these tribulations, and it is time to rein in our clumsiness. This grand view garden was originally built for the provincial relatives of the concubine Niangniang, and now the thing is not human, and it is also a disaster to let people see the injury of the object, and if it is still in our hands, it is always a disaster. I will enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, just ask for goodbye and be guilty, and by the way, I will ask Emperor Ren for an edict to dedicate this grand view garden to the royal family. That smiling layman is still living in it now, and the emperor must have understood the intentions of our courtiers. As for whether she will go or stay in the future, it is another matter. ”
Jia Zhen listened, and just nodded, but Jia Lian was very unhappy, thinking that he would follow Jia Zhen to accompany King Beijing to do something, but now that King Beijing is the emperor, Jia Zhen has more or less sealed An Xiangbo, but he didn't get anything. Now that the house is empty, only this Grand View Garden has some money, if it can be sold in the future, it will save some money, and it will be enough for the rest of his life. Now it's good, Sister Feng's words, the entire Grand View Garden is gone, and her hopes are shattered like soap bubbles.
Jia Lian thought like this, gritting his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak.
Jia Zheng was speechless for a while, and went into the study by himself. Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng went to the Grand View Garden together.
