Lu Jing solved the marriage with Baoqin, appeased Daiyu, and then thought about it and wrote a letter to Baochai.

Xue Baochai was feeling self-hurt because of Lu Jing and Baoqin, and immediately opened it after receiving the letter, only to see that the letter read:

Since meeting Fangqing, she was shocked like Tianyao, and since then, her spirit has been flying, and she has thought about it at dawn and night. Meng Qing did not give up a month ago, made an alliance with a white head, and was gracious and affectionate, so far he was still ecstatic when he thought about it, and he also thought about Qing's heart, which is increasing day by day, and he can't wait to build a golden house and jade building, in order to accept the ceremony, but he is wrong and has a negative heart.

Wang Baoqing takes care of his precious body, if the two feelings are long, how can they be in the morning and twilight, if the road to the Queqiao is passed, it is like a dream.

Hongyan passed on the book, and could not make more greetings, when there was poverty at the ends of the world, Siqing's meaning was endless.

After reading the letter, Baochai immediately turned into joy, and cried with joy, recited many times, but still reluctant to let go, especially whenever he read the word "Baoqing", his heart was even sweeter, and he flipped through the paper for a long time before opening the note, and wrote with a pen:

The bluegrass is fragrant, and the spring days are long.

Mu Lang An's appearance, envy Jun Splendid Chapter.

I am willing to sweep the concubine for Kei and serve soup for life.

Inch sincerity has been promised, and the day will be paid.

Poor incense is cold, empty to look forward to the east wall.

There will be a period of meeting, and each side is lovesick.

There is a pond and a lot, and there is a lot of incense.

Not as good as the phoenix bird, the cloud road soars.

Jun is a good time, and the white head is a mandarin duck.

The concubine's heart is more than a stone, and the concubine Zhiling Qiushuang.

There is no way to hate and hate, and you will be rewarded with peace.

Today, the joy of the wild goose comes, making the concubine sob.

After writing it, it was sealed and handed to Ying'er, so that she could hand it over to the messenger.

After Ying'er left, Xue Baochai still remembered the letter for a long time, and then reluctantly put it away, found Aunt Xue, persuaded her to go to Pan's house as soon as possible, and set a date for Xue Pan and Pan Yueniang's marriage.

Aunt Xue thought about it for a long time, couldn't bear Baochai's persuasion, and finally agreed, set an auspicious day for Najib and Nazheng, and then the two families discussed the marriage date.

After Lu Jing received Baochai's reply, he felt infinite emotion for a while, how could he live up to the kindness of the beauty, but this matter still needs to be planned slowly, and then handed over Baochai's letter to Yinglian for safekeeping, and then temporarily focused on the Zhen family who entered Beijing.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Concubine Zhen was not in good health, and her condition became more serious in February.

When Emperor Yuan Yong saw this situation, he urgently recruited the Zhen family to visit the old concubine in Beijing, and Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family, had entered Beijing two days ago.

Although Lu Jing didn't know what illness Concubine Zhen was suffering from, based on his memory, he could basically conclude that Concubine Zhen would be difficult to survive March, and Concubine Zhen's fall would cause a chain reaction.

First of all, the Zhen family will lose the biggest backer and talisman in Beijing, without Concubine Zhen, the emperor's affection for the Zhen family will only decrease day by day, and the emperor may do something to the Zhen family at any time.

Secondly, the Jia family, the Wang family, the king of Nan'an County, the three princes and other forces that have a close relationship with the Zhen family will also be greatly affected, especially the king of Nan'an who relies on the financial support of the Zhen family.

In the end, Yuan Chun in the palace lost the support of Concubine Zhen, and his situation would be even more difficult.

The King of Nan'an, the Zhen family and other forces are naturally aware of this, so everyone is concerned about Concubine Zhen's physical condition, and now the situation in Beijing is quite imminent, if Concubine Zhen is fine, once Concubine Zhen dies, if the emperor has any intention of making a move, I am afraid that the King of Nan'an County and others will not sit still.

Lu Jing plans to take this opportunity to see how the Zhen family and Xungui respond to the current situation so that they can act in the future.

On March 20, news came out in the palace that Concubine Zhen had died.

At the same time, Emperor Yuan Yong issued an edict: all nobles and nobles are ordered to enter the court and follow the class, and they will be guarded according to the system.

On the same day, he also issued an edict to the world: Where there is a lord's house, no feast music shall be held within a year; In the homes of the common people, they are not allowed to marry within three months.

After hearing these two wills, Lu Jing was secretly surprised at the same time, he didn't know what he meant when he was studying, and now he found out that Emperor Yuanyong's will gave the deceased Concubine Zhen great grief and held a national filial piety memorial for her.

Generally, only the queen mother and queen are qualified to hold national filial piety in the harem, and it seems that the emperor has taken great pains to stabilize the situation in front of him.

The Zhen family was not confused by the grief after the death of Concubine Zhen, Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Yingyu brothers were both a little panicked, knowing that the emperor would not deal with the Zhen family immediately if he cared about the situation and reputation, but when this time passed, he would inevitably take action, so the two brothers actively ran around, contacted and gave gifts everywhere, trying to save the Zhen family from danger.

Mother Jia sighed secretly about the death of Concubine Zhen, and now that the Jia family has lost an important help, the power of the Jia family will inevitably drop one step further.

Now that the edict is being issued, Mother Jia has to take Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, Xu's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, etc., all to the court every day to worship, and she can only return to the house after Weizheng.

When the Jia family saw that all the officials and eunuchs, all those who raised excellent men and women were exempted from repatriation, so they sent out the twelve girls in the Lixiang Courtyard, including Fang Guan and Rui Guan, or released them, or gave them to Baoyu, Xiangyun, Baochai and others.

After the coffin of Concubine Zhen was in the palace of the inner side for 21 days, the spirit was invited to enter the tomb, and the place name was Xiaoci County.

This mausoleum from Kyoto to get more than ten days of work, now please spirit here, but also to park for a few days, before entering the underground palace, so get a month of scenery.

Ning Rong and the two mansions had to accompany the system, and there was no one at home to preside over it, so the two families discussed, so they reported to You's childbirth, moved her out, assisted Rong Ning in the affairs of the two places, and entrusted Aunt Xue to take care of Tanchun, Xiangyun and other sisters and maids in the garden.

Because Lu Jing is a civil official, and now he is at home, he does not need to follow the spirit into the sacrifice, in addition to paying attention to the movements of the Zhen family every day, he is to monitor Jia Jing's every move.

On the night of 17 April, Wu Ze, who was in charge of monitoring Jia Jing, hurriedly returned to Fuzhong.

Before Lu Jing could rest, he summoned him to the outer study to inquire about Jia Jing's situation.

Wu Ze replied: "Sure enough, as the old man expected, the old man of Ning Mansion really swallowed a large amount of pills and died tonight. ”

Lu Jing asked, "What last words can he leave before swallowing the pill?" ”

Wu Ze nodded and said: "The little one lying on the roof doesn't really hear it very well, only listening to what he says, 'one thought is wrong', 'death is deserved' and the like." ”

"One thought, death deserves!" Lu Jing repeated it a few times before he could understand his meaning, so he frowned and said, "You describe in detail his actions before swallowing the pill." ”

Wu Ze thought for a while and said: "A few days ago, he instructed the Taoist priest of Xuanzhen Temple to buy some medicinal materials, saying that he wanted to refine the pill with a secret method. ”

"They have been refining for many days, and today they have just succeeded in refining, and those Taoist priests are persuading him that his skills have not yet arrived, and he should not take it, but he still sent away the little Taoist priests who served, and then sighed a few words, and quietly swallowed the pill, and he swallowed his breath after a few breaths, and now the Taoist priest of Xuanzhen Temple has discovered this matter and sent someone to Jia's house to report the news."

Lu Jing nodded when he heard this, asked a few more details, and let Wu Ze go down to rest, while he himself fell into deep thought in the room, Jia Jing has been in the Tao for many years, and he must know that dansha, realgar, alum and other substances are not suitable for take, but he still insists on swallowing a large amount, obviously planning to commit suicide.

But why did he can't wait to commit suicide, is it just because he realized the end of the decline of the Jia family from the death of Concubine Zhen? Now the Jia family still has Jia Yuanchun to rely on in the palace, and there are Wang Ziteng and the king of Nan'an County as foreign aid, even if they are inevitably defeated in the end, they can barely support it for a few years now, so why commit suicide now!

Thinking of the words 'the difference of one thought, death is deserved', etc., I don't understand the meaning of the sentence 'the difference of one thought', it is estimated that it involves the Xin Mi of Ningfu or the original line, or the life experience of Xichun, but there are some speculations about 'death deserved', Jia Jing should have seen that with the death of Concubine Zhen, the Zhen family will inevitably be unlucky, and the Jia family is estimated to be no good, and those nobles in Beijing will also take action.

He committed suicide at this time, to avoid Ning Fu getting involved in these things, after all, he was gone, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others would transport his coffin back to Jinling for burial, and at the same time, they would also have to keep filial piety for him for three years, and he would need to cut off social contacts during these three years, and his children and grandchildren would not be involved in those things.

Although I don't know if this is Jia Jing's original intention, Lu Jing thought about it for a long time, and only this explanation can be reasonable, I have to say that although Jia Jing usually doesn't care much about Ning Guofu, he finally sacrificed himself in order to keep the inheritance of his descendants.

It's a pity that Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others finally failed his hard work, not only made trouble about the You sisters, but also firmly stood with the King of Nan'an County and the King of Beijing, and finally ended up beheaded. However, even if there is no such thing as standing in line, just based on what Jia Zhen did to Qin Keqing, I am afraid that Ning Guofu will not be able to do well.

On the second day, Lu Jing and Daiyu had dinner, and were stepping on the moonlight in the garden, smelling the dark fragrance, and strolling among the flowers, when suddenly Lin Ruhai sent a message to recruit the two.

After Lu Jing and Daiyu finished the ceremony, Lin Ruhai asked with a solemn face: "Do you know about the death of the old man in Ningfu?" ”

"Message received!" Lu Jing nodded and said, he has been paying attention to this matter, last night You Shi ordered someone to go to Xuanzhen Temple to lock up all the Taoist priests, and asked the imperial doctor to check the cause of Jia Jing's death, and sent someone Pegasus to report to Jia Zhen, and now Jia Jing's body has been wrapped and carried to the Tieji Temple to park.

Daiyu also nodded and said: "In the afternoon, my husband has already told my daughter that my husband and I have already discussed, and the Lu family has no contact with the Ning Mansion, so I don't plan to send someone to mourn." ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai nodded calmly and said: "That's fine, now that Concubine Zhen is gone, and the Zhen family is in contact with each other in Beijing, my father is afraid that the Ning Mansion will do something like the Qin family again." ”

Lu Jing persuaded: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, now those nobles have been detained by the emperor in the ancestral tomb, and it is estimated that they will only let a cadre of the Jia family come back to take care of the funeral, not to mention that now the emperor's power is getting heavier, if those people have no will, they will not dare to easily disobey the holy order and go to pay tribute." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "What you said is good, my father called you this time, first, to tell you that you don't have to go to Ningfu to mourn, not only you, but even your father will not go; Second, I want to ask Huai Jin what he thinks, you have been at home for nearly half a year now, and you neither go to the academy to gain fame nor go out to contact the courtiers, what do you think? ”

Lu Jing muttered: "The son-in-law still hasn't understood why the emperor punished me, the so-called movement is better than being still, and the son-in-law plans to make plans after a while." ”

Lin Ruhai thought for a while and said: "It's not a way for you to wait like this, why don't you ask Scholar Xu to recommend you to release for your father, and try the emperor's attitude?" ”

Lu Jing hurriedly stopped: "Thank you father-in-law for your son-in-law's hard work, but the son-in-law has a plan to test the emperor's mind when he prepares for the Hanzhan Kedao exam." ”

Lin Ruhai pondered, nodded and said: "Since you have a plan, then the father will not destroy your plan, if you need to help your father, although you come to me, although the father has left the officialdom, there is still a little affection." ”

Lu Jing got up and thanked him: "Thank you father-in-law for your concern, if there is a need, the son-in-law will definitely say it." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, chatted a few more words, and taught Lu Jing a lesson before letting the two leave.

When the two of them left the Lin Mansion, Lu Jing immediately thanked Daiyu and said, "Thank you Madame for your kindness just now, Xiaosheng is unforgettable!" ”

Lin Daiyu said with a slight annoyance: "Husband, don't play poor, if it weren't for the face of Sister Yinglian and Zijuan, Sister Baoqin's matter was an accident, the concubine body wouldn't care about you, see if you dare to pay attention in the future!" ”

Lu Jing sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't say that there is a father-in-law to support Mrs., even if there is a good wife like Mrs., I don't dare to live up to Mrs.'s affection." ”

Dai Yujiao snorted and said, "Don't say these are useless, the concubine body depends on your future performance!" ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he had an even more headache in his head, how to solve the matter of Baochai's entry when the time came.

The two chatted all the way back to Nuanyu Hall, and it was night, Lu Jing was more gentle and considerate to Daiyu, bowing his head and ears, and working diligently until Daiyu was happy.
