Chapter 12: Surprise
Early the next morning, Jia Zheng went to Jia's mother to visit and greet him. When he came, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing had already arrived, and they were serving Jia's mother to eat, and Jia's mother ate the porridge boiled in Yutian rouge rice, and ate half a tofu skin bun, and ate some eggplant (the first dish in the Red Mansion).
After Jia's mother finished eating, she withdrew the leftovers. There was a maid who brought tea with a small tea tray, and someone brought a gargle, and Jia's mother rinsed her mouth and finished her hands. Then the maid brought tea again, and this was the tea for eating.
Jia Zheng stepped forward to ask An if his mother was well and how much she had eaten. Jia Mu asked him to get up and sit beside him. Jia Zheng sat next to Jia's mother, chatting with him, talking non-stop, seeing that the time of Shangya had arrived, he was not in a hurry, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang had not yet had breakfast, but seeing that Jia Zheng kept talking, they had to sit and laugh on the side.
When Jia's mother saw that Jia Zheng was not as usual today, she knew that he had secret matters to discuss with her, and that others were not easy to talk to, so Jia's mother Xing and Mrs. Wang said, "You go, let our mother and son talk freely." Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang got up, said a few more gossips, and left.
Mother Jia said to the maid and daughter-in-law in the house: "These many people are bored in the house, you all go out and relax, what does it matter if my son is here." So the maid and the mother-in-law all retreated, and Jia Mu made a look at one of the mothers-in-law at this time, which mother-in-law would understand, and after exiting the door, she found a maid who was waiting outside the door from the head to play. But he sat on a stone bench a dozen steps outside the door. This mother-in-law was originally a maid married by Jia's mother, and was promised by Jia's mother to a steward surnamed Lai, who should be old and not in charge but still went to Jia's mother every day to ask for peace. is the most loyal to Jia's mother. Jia's mother did many things because she did it, because of her loyalty, Jia's mother promoted her eldest son as the chief manager of Rongguo Mansion, and also recommended her second son as the general manager of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia's mother saw that there was no one in the house, so she said to Jia Zheng: "What's the matter, how can you fight hard?" ”
Jia Zheng said: "But there is a big matter to discuss with my mother, and in the end, my mother has to make the decision." ”
"I'll hear what you say." Jia Mu said.
Jia Zheng said: "Aunt Zhou's eldest son, Jia Ke, recently had a Zhuang Xiangrui, but he was afraid that he would be known to have killed him before he grew up, so he was so abrupt, and my mother forgave me." ”
"Oh, speaking of my aunt this week, she was still trained by me, and she is a worry-free one. It's just Brother Ke, what auspiciousness can he have as a villain, don't bluff me. Jia Mu said.
Jia Zhenglian didn't dare to say it, so he told Jia Ke about the martial arts practice in Jia Ke's study during the day yesterday, Li Wenbin, Lin Zhixiao and Tao Leader's evaluation of Jia Ke, and he interrogated Jia Ke last night, and Jia Ke said that he had learned everything in his dream and told Jia's mother.
"Isn't this auspicious? Ke'er is either an immortal dreaming and preaching, or awakening Suhui. It seems to have a history. Jia Zheng summed up excitedly.
But Jia Mu did not have a trace of happiness on her face, but frowned. Seeing Jia's mother's expression, Jia Zheng couldn't help but change his face, he knew that his mother was valued by two generations of Rongguo Gong and was well-informed. That is, the mother must have been so dignified, and there must be something wrong with it.
Jia Zheng hurriedly asked, "Isn't there something wrong with my mother?" ”
Jia Mu said to him: "Although you are now the master of the house, and you have passed the year of establishment, but in the end, you have grown up in a grand event, I don't know those crooked ways, what ghosts and ghosts were when the country was founded, and the demons and monsters have never appeared, you say that he is auspicious, how do you know that he is not an evil ghost to harm our family." ”
Jia Zheng was so frightened when he heard Jia's mother's words that he had already thrown the excitement he had when he first came out of the clouds. Hurriedly gave Jia's mother a non-stop gift, and asked Jia's mother to be the master and think of a way.
Jia Mu looked at Jia Zheng's flustered appearance and reprimanded: "What are you panicking, the sky hasn't fallen yet." Even if it's a demon, I have my own way, so you don't have to panic. ”
As soon as Jia Zheng heard that Jia's mother had a way, his heart settled down, and he hurriedly asked Jia's mother what the solution was.
Jia Mu said unhurriedly: "You will go to Qingxuguan to invite Daoist Zhang to come, he is the original substitute for your father, Grandpa Guo thought of this back then, I was afraid that there would be an ominous thing in our family, and there was nowhere to find someone, so I pressed this foreshadowing." However, Daoist Zhang has been cultivating over the years, and the first emperor called him the "Great Phantom Immortal", and now he is in charge of the Daolu Siyin, and he is now named the "end of the real person". ”
So Jia Zheng was about to go and invite, but was stopped by Jia's mother and said, "What's the hurry, I still have something to say." You invite Daoist Zhang, you don't have to come to see me first, hide in the back of the study first, and let the eldest brother take a look after school before coming to me. ”
Jia Zheng agreed, and went out without bothering to salute.
After a while, Mama Lai came in and said to Jia Muyu, "The master has gone out of the house." ”
Jia Mu didn't speak, just leaned on the soft couch and nodded.
Mama Lai also stood and waited for Jia's mother's instructions, and after a while, Jia's mother said: "After a while, Zheng'er picked up Daoist Zhang, you arrange it so that no one knows." Let the maids in the house not talk nonsense. Mama Lai hurriedly agreed, turned around and went out to arrange.
Besides, Jia Zheng went out of Jia's mother's place, went straight to the front yard, and called the little maid to call the car to be used immediately, and someone came to report that the car was ready. Without an entourage, Jia Zheng came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion alone to get into the car and asked the coachman to clear the void.
After a short time, he had arrived at the gate of Qingxuguan. The Zhike judge at the door saw that Jia Zheng did not dare to slack off, and asked Jia Zheng to enter the inner view to use tea, how could Jia Zheng have the mind to drink tea, so he asked him to report to Daoist Zhang and said that Jia Zheng asked to see.
Not long after, Daoist Zhang came in, only to see this Taoist crane with a childish face, if it weren't for his white hair, I thought it was a thirty-year-old prime. Jia Zheng hurriedly got up to give a salute, and Daoist Zhang hurriedly went to help. The two sat down, and Daoist Zhang said first: "Amitayus Buddha!" The ancestors have always been blessed with longevity and Kangning? ”
Jia Zheng said: "The old lady is also healthy. ”
Daoist Zhang said: "I don't know what happened to the second master. ”
Jia Zheng said: "Recently, there is a strange thing in the house, and the old lady can't tell for sure, so let me ask Uncle Zhang to help take a look." ”
"It's not that there's something unclean in the house." Daoist Zhang frowned and said.
Jia Zheng said: "Hey, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. Then he told Daoist Zhang about Jia Ke before and after.
"It's a bit weird to say this, and it's been decades since I left the house, so I'll go home today." After Daoist Zhang finished speaking, he asked Jia Zheng to wait for a while, saying that he was going to the inner hall to get a few magic weapons.
After a short time, Daoist Zhang came out and went out with Jia Zheng. The Taoist priests who passed by saw it and gave way one after another.
The two of them got out of the void and got into the car. He came to Rongguo's mansion.
When I came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion for a while, the frame did not stop, and I entered directly from the West Corner Gate, and Jia Zheng and Zhang Daoshi got out of the car.
Jia Zheng said to Daoist Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, please wait. Before the old lady asked me to go, she had instructed us to take a look at the obstacle in a secluded place, whether it was a person or a monster, and then go and see her. ”
Daoist Zhang did not refuse, so he followed Jia Zheng to a utility room opposite the study, and when he rested after lunch at noon, he saw Jia Ke and Jia Lian walking out of the study in the garden.
Jia Zheng hurriedly pointed Jia Ke and looked at Daoist Zhang, Daoist Zhang first chanted a spell and drew talismans, and then pointed his middle finger to the center of his eyebrows.
Jia Zheng next to him felt that Daoist Zhang's eyes had a divine light, and he couldn't look at it.
Daoist Zhang looked at Jia Ke with his divine light. I only felt that Jia Ke's body had a red light, and the red light was not like smoke and haze seen elsewhere, but like fire, surrounding him, and the place where he passed was like a big day passing through the sky, and the glory was indescribable. I also saw that the qi on the top of his head was multicolored, and its shape was like an umbrella cover on Jia Ke's head.
Daoist Zhang wanted to look again, but his perception seemed to be looking at the sun with his eyes, his glasses were extremely painful, and his eyes were bleeding unconsciously.
