Not to mention the emperor's side, let's talk about Jiafu's side, in the two years that Jia Ke has been away, he has been safe and sound, and there has been no major chaos. Due to the eradication of Lai Da, the income of the government has increased somewhat in recent years.

And in the sky in Jiafu, the old lady Jia's mother now loves Jia Baoyu to the point of outrageousness, and she almost gives him everything that Jiafu can take. So rumors about the heir in Jia's mansion are also everywhere, and some say that Jia Zhu must be the heir, because he is the eldest son and grandson. But some people don't think so, they think that Jia Baoyu is the future heir of Jiafu. Although Jia Zhu is the eldest son, Jia Baoyu has a background, and he will definitely be able to bring Jiafu more brilliant in the future.

When Mrs. Wang heard these two rumors, she was also at a loss, after all, both of them were his sons. No matter which of the two is the head of Jiafu, she is the future old lady of Jiafu. Therefore, she neither cracked down nor agreed with these rumors, which caused these rumors to intensify and became a topic of discussion for almost every slave in Jiafu.

Jia Zhu was surrounded by these rumors, and he felt very uncertain about his future, so he studied even harder. He believes that as long as he succeeds in his studies, he will become an official in the future. And Jia Baoyu is just a little doll, when the time comes, Jia Baoyu will not be able to shake his status no matter how favored he is.

But it backfired, and in the township test in the second year, Jia Zhu couldn't hold on to it in the first game, because of taking A Furong for a long time, his health was too bad. During the first three-day exam, he was carried out of the exam room because he was too weak to persevere. So he failed in this year's exam, and he could only wait three years before taking the second exam.

This blow was fatal for Jia Zhu. Jia Zheng was also very disappointed in his failure, but Jia Zheng was not too embarrassed for him. After all, knowing that he couldn't persist because he was weak was not his knowledge, he asked Mrs. Wang to ask Jia Zhu for a famous medical treatment to recuperate.

And the doctor who invited him was inexplicable that his health was so bad, and he could only prescribe some big tonic medicine to him, but it didn't work at all. It wasn't until later that the King of Beijing recommended an old doctor to figure things out, and after the old doctor saw Jia Zhu's symptoms, he asked Mrs. Wang to let everyone withdraw from the room, and then quietly said to Mrs. Wang: "I think Ling Gongzi is taking A Hibiscus, this medicine is not available in our Middle Earth, it is all foreign tribute, ordinary people can't afford to use this medicine, this medicine is used in small amounts is a good medicine to refresh and relieve pain, once you take a large amount of it for a long time, the body will collapse." I see that my son has been taking the medicine for too long, the dosage is too large, and it is irreparable. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, she never thought that such an expensive medicinal herb would be a harmful poison, she always thought that it would be a slight hindrance to the body, and it was not a big deal.

Mrs. Wang suddenly came to her senses, knelt down in front of the old doctor, and pleaded with him crying: "Old man, since you have seen it, what can he do if he takes this medicine?" As long as he can save his life, he is willing to spend as much as he wants. ”

The old doctor shook his head and said to her, "It's too late, and now the medicinal properties have entered the bone marrow." I can't pull it out anymore, so I want me to say hurry up and set a family affair for your son, so I can leave him a queen. If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for the future. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was completely desperate, and now his tears kept flowing down, and finally she choked up and asked the old doctor, "How long can my son last?" ”

The old doctor said truthfully: "If Ling Gongzi takes the prescription I prescribed, and never touches that thing again, I think it will still be okay in twenty-five or six years." If you only take my medicine, you won't be able to quit that thing for five or six years. But I look at Ling Gongzi's appearance, I'm afraid that I will never be able to leave that thing in the future. ”

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to let the old doctor prescribe medicine, take away all Jia Zhu's Furong, and personally supervise him to take medicine every day. But how can Fleur have such a good quit. As soon as Jia Zhu left Ah Furong, she was in agony, and sometimes she even wanted to die immediately. When Mrs. Wang saw this situation, she couldn't bear him to suffer like this, so she gave Ah Furong to him again. I just took the medicine prescribed by the old doctor, but it didn't stop for a day.

After a period of time, Jia Zhu was sick in bed, taking medicine every day, claiming that this would be a great supplement for the body, and it would be used to supplement Jia Zhu's body that had been studying day and night.

After Jia Zheng heard about this, he blamed himself for a while. He remembered that when Jia Ke left, he told him that Jia Zhu was not in good health and asked him to take care of him, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, and he didn't expect Jia Ke to tell him. I knew that he would listen to Jia Ke's good words, pay more attention to Jia Zhu's body, and let him not study so hard that his body was exhausted.

And now who is the most idle in Jiafu, that is Aunt Zhou, her son is now a fourth-grade official, and she is still in charge of her son's Zhuangzi, and she still hoards thousands of taels of silver at home, and there are three or four maids around to take care of her. In addition to missing Jia Ke every day, there is food and drink in Jia's Mansion at other times, and I live a leisurely life. When I was in my spare time, I wandered around in Rongguo's mansion, looking for people to chat, and my life was not easy.

Although Jia Zheng doesn't spend the night at Aunt Zhou's place now, he still comes to her house every once in a while. In the eyes of outsiders and Aunt Zhou, Jia Zheng is a person who misses the old, and Jia Ke is already a guard of the fourth grade, so the subordinates are also respectful to Aunt Zhou, and no one dares to underestimate her.

And Jia Zheng's other aunt, Aunt Zhao, behaved strangely during this time, she seemed to have eaten all the meals sent by the big kitchen every day, but her mother often came to see him during this time, and she always carried a bag of things, and she didn't know what it was, but nothing big else happened.

If you talk about the second room, except for Jia Zhu's troubles, everything is going well. Such a big house, it's a mess. Since Aunt Zhang's death, Jia Yu has sealed the courtyard where she lived before her death. No one was allowed to go in but him. is the cleaning inside, and Jia Yu does it himself.

After that, Jia Yu returned to his original appearance of a drunkard, and he no longer had the fighting spirit. accepted one concubine after another, and everyone thought that he was back to normal and forgot about Aunt Zhang.

Jia Yu often ran to Aunt Zhang's room alone, but the people could hear Jia Yu's heart-rending cry in the room. But the next day, Jia Yu went out of the room like no one else, and continued his life of spending all day and drinking, and his temper became more and more irritable, and he scolded his subordinates at every turn.

After Jia Mu knew about this situation, she could only sigh. For Jia Yu, who was moved by her true feelings, she really had no choice.

And Jia Lian has lived here in China for a long time, and Jia Yu has no objections, except for Aunt Zhang's affairs, he doesn't care about anything else. And Jia Lian himself is also happy, he is idle in Rongguo Mansion every day, and he has nothing serious to do. As for reading, he has long since stopped doing it.

Mother Jia felt more and more heavy about the situation in Jiafu now, she often thought of her last conversation with Mama Lai, if it wasn't for that time, she wouldn't have noticed that Jiafu had declined to such a point. Now the only one who supports her is Jia Ke. As long as Jia Ke can succeed in the future, all these bad things in Jia's mansion can be solved. As for Jia Baoyu, she really likes it now, thinking that since he can't get ahead, it is better to let him live his life in the gentle township, which can be regarded as a little compensation for him. After all, whether it is the current emperor or Jia Ke after the success, he can't tolerate Jia Baoyu having a trace of power.

Now Jia Baoyu is only one and a half years old, but he speaks very fluently and clearly, and he is completely a smart and handsome child. Jia Yuanchun is now inseparable from Jia Baoyu, when Jia Baoyu first started to speak, he called Jia Yuanchun his mother, and then slowly became sensible before he changed it, so Jia Yuanchun is different from others to Jia Baoyu, it can be said that he raises Jia Baoyu as his own child.
