Chapter 57: Xiaoxiang Lin Clan
Let's say that a few days after this Daiyu moved in, a major event happened in the government and the opposition.
The Zhen family, a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, was taken down for fornicating with the enemy country and selling illicit salt, and at the same time, all the close contacts with the Zhen family were raided, including the Jinling Jia family.
It is said that this matter has always been secretly investigated by the people of Zhongshun Province, and the matter of the seizure is naturally handled by the people of Zhongshun Province.
In the afternoon, the edict of the Zhen family came out, and before the dynasty was released, Jiafu and several other families were surrounded by Jinyi Guard, and the chief official of Zhongshun Wangfu accompanied Zhang Qiushun of the Ministry of Rites to enter Jiafu with a cadre of soldiers.
At this moment, Jia Fuli had just finished dinner, and suddenly heard that the imperial court had sent someone to check it, and they were all so frightened that they didn't possess their bodies, looking at those wolf-like guards, they didn't dare to move.
The chief official led the soldiers and checked the Jia family up and down, and even Jia's mother's residence was not spared.
It's just that Qiu Shun has a good personal relationship with Jia Zheng, and besides, this time he is not raiding the house, but just picking up evidence that has been brought from Zhen's furniture, so he doesn't let those soldiers rummage through the boxes and cages, and he is not allowed to embarrass the female relatives of the family, he himself went to Jia's mother, explained the reason, and then accompanied Jia's mother to sit and drink tea.
Jia Mu's face was a little pale, but her face was still as peaceful as before, and she only talked about old things.
These officers and soldiers tossed for five or six hours from the time they arrived in Jiafu, and at the beginning of the ugly end of the night, they finished checking the inside and outside of Jiafu, and then one of the commanders of the Jinyi Guard and the governor of Zhongshun Mansion dragged their tired steps to the front hall of Jia's mother's residence, and reported the situation to Zhang Qiushun.
I saw the governor's official, holding several letters in his hand, walking in with a displeased face.
"We searched carefully and did not find any suspicious stolen goods from the Zhen Mansion, only a few letters from Su Ri." The Commander of the Brocade Guards said loudly.
"Oh, what's in the letter?" Zhang Qiushun said as he took the letters.
He knew that the governor of the Zhongshun Mansion must have carefully examined these letters and found nothing, otherwise his expression would not be so depressed and displeased.
Zhang Qiushun flipped through one or two letters at random, and sure enough, there were only some trivial old things written in it, such as which son-in-law in the family married a wife, which wife and concubine gave birth to a child, and the old lady's left leg and knee were sore on a rainy day, asking if there were any good home remedies, etc. So he folded the letters gently and respectfully handed them back to Jia's mother.
"Old lady, the lower official is disturbed, so I will leave, and I will come to apologize in the future, and ask the old lady to rest quickly." Zhang Qiushun bowed down and said to Jia Mu.
"Lord Zhang is polite, you are also acting impartially, today this matter is thanks to you There is a lot less toss, I should have invited you and Mrs. to come to the house to taste tea, but now it seems that it is a lot of inconvenience, I can only be grateful in my heart." Jia Mu said to Zhang Qiushun in a deep voice.
At this moment, although Jia's mother is tired, but her heart is as clear as a mirror, the Jia family has fallen out of favor in the emperor's heart, this copy is just the beginning, although this time although she escaped by luck, the decline of Jiafu is almost irretrievable.
After Zhang Qiushun and the others left, the sky was already slightly bright, where could the people in Jia's mansion rest, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen had already hurriedly come to Jia's mother's house.
"The children and grandchildren are not filial, and they disturb the ancestors." The three of them knelt down together and kowtowed to Jia Mu repeatedly.
"You guys get up, I'll ask you," Jia Mu looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Didn't they find the boxes that the Zhen family brought last time?" ”
"Back to my mother, the last time my son-in-law came back, I mentioned that something might happen to the Zhen family, and if there were any things between the two families, they should be dealt with in time, so those boxes, my son sent someone to Zhuangzi in Wujin Xiao in the east that day." Jia Zheng replied.
When Jia Mu heard this, she nodded silently.
"It turns out that the grandson-in-law came over that day to tell you about this, and that child actually has an ulterior motive."
Mother Jia said, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Fortunately, Baoyu and Daiyu's two children have moved out, otherwise how can they withstand such a fright, alas, our family will be difficult in the future-"
Jia Zheng and the others knelt on the ground, not daring to speak for a long time.
*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*
And the day after Jiafu was copied, another major event happened in the capital, that is, the princess of King Beijing.
These two things reached Yingchun and Daiyu's ears almost at the same time.
It was already evening, Yingchun and Daiyu were chatting in the pavilion in the courtyard while holding candles in the shade, Xi'an Zijuan was fanning away mosquitoes on the side, and then first received a letter from the servants of Jiafu, and then received an obituary from the Beijing Palace.
After reading Jiafu's letter, Yingchun and Daiyu both looked pale for a while, and after a while, they came back to their senses, thinking about the fright that Jia Mu and the others were frightened, they couldn't help but feel sad, but thinking that they didn't find anything that could be convicted, they all secretly said that it was dangerous.
Yingchun said in a low voice: "Last time I went back, Sun Shaozu mentioned this, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, I didn't expect it to be so soon-"
"If this matter is not for my brother-in-law, it will be troublesome, it can be seen that my brother-in-law still cares about my sister in his heart." Daiyu said to Yingchun.
"He's just afraid that our family will collapse, and his thousands of taels of silver will be completely wiped out," Yingchun sneered, and continued: "He's very stingy, I wanted him to send a letter to his third sister, but he was inexplicably angry like that." Thinking of the dress she had worked so hard to sew, Yingchun felt a wave of anger in her heart.
"This changed me, and I was also angry, I thought you sincerely wanted to give him a dress, but I didn't expect it to beg him to do something." Daiyu smiled faintly.
She is also a high-minded person, and she understands better than anyone the feeling of being splashed with cold water after being full of joy.
Yingchun listened, glanced at Daiyu, was silent for a while, and then said: "Who knows what that person thinks, I just pity my clothes, well, the princess of Beijing finally failed to save it, but it's a pity that King Beijing has worked hard." ”
"By the way, Princess Beijing has passed away, and my sister will go to the sacrifice tomorrow, so let's go back." Daiyu said.
Yingchun nodded, she was holding the title of Mrs. Sun Shaozu's order, and this hanging sacrifice was a must. The two went upstairs together, and went back to their rooms one after another without mentioning it.
Yingchun returned to the house, but he could sleep again, and only took out the poem manuscript that he got back from Daiyu the day before.
A small part of the manuscript had been burned, but fortunately most of it was still intact.
Yingchun carefully sorted out those poems, and then sealed them with paper, and wrote the words Gu Su Lin in small letters inside.
Thinking about it, I withdrew it again, rebound it, and wrote the four words Xiaoxiang Lin's family.
Well, that's good.
