As he spoke, Zhong Shun came in, no longer holding Yun Zhen's coat in his hand, and said, "The prince of the county said that the old lady is here, and the two uncles and wives are also here, so they won't come in, just say a few words to the brother over there and leave, and if you are not free today, you won't stay at home to eat." ”

  Dai Yuyuan also said that he wanted to talk to him, but who knows, he is actually leaving, and he will inevitably be disappointed. Thinking about it, he must have disliked too many people, and he estimated that he couldn't find a chance to talk to her, so he waited impatiently, and his heart warmed up for a while, and he felt that he thought of being with him.

  After Zhong Shun left, the old lady asked Jia, "I didn't expect my uncle to come, so it seems that he really values Jiaojiao." ”

  Daiyu smiled and said, "Old lady, the son-in-law of the third sister and the son-in-law of Sister Yun are also here, can the old lady take a look?" ”

  As soon as he said it, he was interested, and Xifeng smiled, "Why don't you come in and let us take a look!" ”

  Xiangyun and Tanchun both came over and grabbed Xifeng, "You still make fun of us, don't cut off your tongue." ”

  It's just that since they are here and know that the old lady is also there, Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan still have to come over to say goodbye, Lin Guijia came in with a smile, "Uncle Feng and Uncle Wei said that they were going to come to greet the old lady, uncle and sister-in-law, they are all at the door!" ”

  "Call in!" The old lady was busy.

  Daiyu and the others all retreated to the second room, Xichun and the others all looked out through the crack in the door, although they didn't laugh, but, outside, Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan heard that the girls of the Jia family were also here, and at this time they knew that they were hiding inside and peeking, and they blushed and their hearts beat when they said a few words, just waiting for the old lady to say, "Let's play!" He fled and left.

  The stage is placed in the large flower hall, with a screen in the middle, and the men and women are watching. The old lady looked at it for a while, then said that she was a little sleepy, and went back to the upper room. Mrs. Wang was about to come over to serve, and the old lady waved her hand, "If you come to be a guest today, you will be relaxed for a day, and I don't want you to set rules in front of me, just serve me with your aunt." ”

  Daiyu and Jia's served the old lady back, sat down on the couch, the mandarin duck beat her legs beside her, Daiyu made tea and came over, Jia's served her, the old lady looked a little unhappy in her heart, "Now the second girl and the fourth girl didn't say a good mother-in-law's family, the sin that the eldest man and Brother Zhen did may not affect their heads, but only delayed their marriage." ”

  Jia Shi lowered his head, "But the old man is like this again now, and he can't go to the court, I said a few days ago that I asked him to go and plead with the emperor, I said, if he didn't go to Jia Yu Village, Jia Feng Village, at least the eldest uncle would not be like this, but he counted me down for a while, saying that there is something bad now, and I want to do it to the second uncle's family, okay?" ”

  The old lady sighed and thumped her legs, "I didn't raise a good son, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a year ago, he also said that I was biased, but he didn't know that he was in prison, and I didn't sleep peacefully all night." I also know that I should take care of myself, but he is the meat that fell from my body! ”

  Jia Shi slowly knelt down, covered his face and cried, Daiyu had to kneel down, and the old lady sighed again and pulled her mother and daughter up, "That is the case, what my uncle says." ”

  Daiyu didn't know that her father and mother had an argument about the Jia family. After the day's New Year's wine was finished, the guests on both sides were sent away, Daiyu watched the people receive all the things in the warehouse, returned to the upper room, and saw Jia sitting on the couch, so he went over, "Mother, but are you still worried about what happened over there?" ”

  Jia Shi raised his eyes to look at her and touched her head, "Don't be stupid to tell your aunt, although your mother is annoyed, she can't intervene, your father ......"

  Daiyu said, "Mother, I heard a story before, it was about the emperor of the Song Dynasty, after Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured by the Jin, Yue Fei was a generation of famous generals, sacrificing his life to resist Jin, but did not die on the battlefield, but was urged by the twelve gold medals to return to the dynasty, and finally died, does my mother think it is why?" ”

  Jia shook his head blankly, and Daiyu said, "Yue Fei is a hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, at that time, the imperial court lived in the south of the Yangtze River, Gaozong Zhao was called the emperor, and the traitor Qin Hui controlled the government. It's just that Yue Fei resisted Jin, and he had to welcome back the second emperor, mother, please think about it, if the second emperor of Huiqin came back, where should Gaozong live? ”

  Daiyu bowed her head and said, "It's not that my daughter refuses to intercede with the prince of the county, but it's true, when the emperor's holy decree was issued, and the second brother of Lian attacked the lord, the daughter stopped thinking about it." Mother don't quarrel with your father about this matter in the future, the sky is unpredictable, the fate is uncertain, the eldest cousin is still the mother of the palace, and she is helpless, not to mention that her daughter has not passed yet, even if she wants to help, she can't help, it's not good to beg him now. ”

  Jia Shi was stunned, and shed a few tears, feeling bitter in his heart, and remembering the words in his daughter's letter that day in Yangzhou, and some worries, and hating his mother's family, up and down hundreds, but up and down, there are as many people as rich and honorable, and there is no one who plans to plan, he has been applied for by the emperor once, and he has been grounded for a month, and how many people have been folded in, but he still does not repent, relying on the mother in the palace, every time he does something corrupt and perverts the law, and now he is so tired that the old lady asks for her face.

  Daiyu returned to Huiyin Courtyard, Li Mi served her to sleep, folded the quilt, and asked, "I said before I left, I'm afraid that if the old lady comes, she will make the girl embarrassed. ”

  Daiyu shook her head, "I have already refused, since ancient times, a drink and a peck, there must be a destiny, if you forcibly disobey, you will have to backfire." In the world, there is no one whose life is more noble than that of others, but whoever has bad intentions should be punished by heaven, and if he is not a loyal servant and a good general, he will be condemned to death, so why should he pay for himself? ”

  When Daiyu fell asleep, Li Mi came out, Huang Lu was still waiting for the letter, Li Mi said something, and he hurriedly took the words out.

  Yun Zhen didn't sleep either, and was reading a book in the study. Zhong Shun came in, stirred the fire in the brazier, and said Daiyu's words again, "The girl said that in the future, the Jia family will not have to worry about the affairs of the family, and it is not that he has not given a chance, even the brothers and sisters of the in-laws, and it is enough." It is still the case today, and only the sentence is answered, 'You must not live if you do your own iniquity.'" ”

  After the New Year is over, the weather is warmer. There is a student at home and a recuperating person, and the Jia family doesn't have much time to worry about the affairs of Jia's mansion for the time being. After the first month, the imperial court opened the seal, the criminal department sentenced it, Jia Zhen and Jia pardon were exiled, and all property was confiscated.

  Only Xue Pan, because of Wang Ziteng's credit, really lost a sum of silver, and his house was almost empty, but he was released from prison.
