Chapter 526: The Land of Dongfu
Zhen Yinglian learned that her wife was in good health, and she was more excited than the eldest brother who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. immediately wrote a letter to inform the second brother and sister-in-law, and secretly sent a letter to Mrs. Xing in Jinling.
It turned out that Xing Shuang returned to Jinling, and Mrs. Xing saw that she was not in good health, so she secretly wrote to ask. This time, Xing Shuang recovered from a serious illness, and Zhen Yinglian contributed a lot.
If she hadn't remembered Grandma Liu's local method, in the middle of summer, Xing Shuang would have soaked her feet with hot water, and even didn't allow Xing Shuang to drink ice water, forcing her to drink hot water, and the disease would not have healed so quickly.
Of course, in the eyes of others, these are not big deals, only the children of the big house, each concerned about Xing Shuang's body.
On Jia's mother's side, although she was happy when she heard this, she was always unable to match the joy that Jia Zhu brought her.
Although Jia Zhu had been appointed as soon as he returned, His Majesty still gave him a few days to recuperate. When he heard about the affairs of Dongfu, he immediately looked for Xing Shuang and said: "Fortunately, Dongfu has not moved now, and the house in Dongfu was given by the saint, if you want to move away, you have to return to the saint first."
"Fortunately, my nephew is back, and I ask my aunt to rest assured, I will hand the fold in tomorrow, ask for the guilt of Brother Zhen, and move back to my hometown in Jinling."
Xing Shuang asked worriedly, "Doesn't it matter?" ”
Jia Zhu said with a smile: "Don't worry, my aunt doesn't know, Uncle Jing's title is a first-class jue, and he is on an equal footing with us." But after this big brother Zhen attacked the knight, he was just a third-grade lord. The house in the East Mansion has long been encroached upon, and it can no longer be lived. In the future, if I attack the knighthood, it will be the same, and I will move out. ”
Xing Shuang said curiously: "But as the master said before, this is a private land given to us, no matter whether it is a lord in the future, whether it is demoted or not, the land does not have to be returned." ”
Jia Zhu hurriedly explained: "That's true, but the house in Dongfu was originally built according to the specifications of Yipinjue's house. The houses that can be lived in by different grades are different, so Brother Zhen should have moved out a long time ago to avoid suspicion, or to make a big change to avoid tongues.
"But he didn't move out, and he didn't change the layout of the house, which is wrong. So tomorrow I will meet here, and the land next to it will still be ours, and this will not change. It's just that I suggested that my aunt buy this land from Dongfu, which will also be of great use in the future. ”
Xing Shuang hesitated: "This is not a gift from His Majesty?" Can it be sold? ”
Jia Zhu said with a smile: "The private land given by His Majesty is logically unsellable. It's just that this land was given to the Jia family, and it didn't matter if the family changed hands. After all, it is still in the hands of our Jia family. I'm afraid that the eldest brother or sister-in-law over there will be confused and sell the land to others, and then it will suffer. ”
Xing Shuang was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly called Yinglian and said to her: "You go to Dongfu and tell Grandma You that the old lady wants to buy their land." ”
Yinglian didn't know why she was in such a hurry, but she still went over in person. And on the You side, after listening to Yinglian's words, he said with a smile: "You came just in time, if you don't come, this land will be sold to others." ”
Yinglian was stunned for a moment and asked You Shi: "Who is the sister-in-law going to sell to?" ”
You Shi smiled: "Jiangnan Zhen family, do you know? When the master of the Zhen family reached his term of office, he was going back to Beijing to resume his post, and seeing that we were about to move, he took a fancy to this land, and sent someone to ask for the price. ”
Yinglian hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't be confused, if you sell this to others, how can you sell it to your own family." It's just that the things in the left pocket go into the right pocket, so it's convenient to buy them back in the future. But if you sell it to someone else, it's hard to come back. ”
When You heard it, he felt that it was also reasonable, so he agreed to keep the land and sell it to the old lady.
Yinglian breathed a sigh of relief, went back to restore Xing Shuang's life, and sold the land that You almost gave to the Zhen family to return to Xing Shuang.
Xing Shuang immediately exploded, and scolded angrily.
Jia Zhu was also frowning when he was present, and his face was very pale.
Yinglian was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. and Uncle?" ”
Jia Zhu explained: "My brother and sister don't know that the land of this Dongfu is a private land given by His Majesty. Although the family may change hands from one family to another, it is not allowed to pass into the hands of others. Otherwise, it is a great disrespect to buy and sell what His Majesty has given.
"As an official of the imperial court and a minister of several generations, it is impossible for the Zhen family not to know about this situation, but it is impossible to take the opportunity to buy land. I'm afraid that someone is risking the name of the Zhen family and wants to harm us. ”
Zhen Yinglian knew the seriousness of the matter at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Fortunately, I went early, and my sister-in-law also promised to leave the land to us, otherwise wouldn't it be another trouble?" ”
Jia Zhu was attracted by this word and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Zhen Yinglian will provoke someone to sow discord between the two governments, so that Jia Zhen covets the position of patriarch, and even asks Jia Zheng to return to Beijing privately.
After Jia Zhu heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't help but bow to Xing Shuang to the end, and said sincerely: "Thank you aunt for controlling the overall situation and not letting this villain succeed, otherwise my uncle and I would not be able to save our lives." ”
Xing Shuang sighed: "I don't know this, but now this person can't be caught, I'm really uncomfortable." I also asked your brother to investigate, but so far I haven't found anything. Your eldest brother Zhen and sister-in-law You also refused to say it, they just pretended to be crazy and stupid, and finally gave them a smooth escape. ”
Jia Zhu was slightly angry when he heard this, he had heard a lot of gossip outside, and what he was most worried about was not that he couldn't do well, but that someone in his family was dragging his feet.
It's just that there are really such idiots in the family, helping outsiders to fight their own homes.
"Aunt rest assured, now that my nephew is back, I will not let those villains go. My aunt has worked hard all these years, and it's time for my nephew to help. ”
Jia Zhu's words made Xing Shuang very relieved. She smiled and said to Jia Zhu: "It doesn't matter what outsiders do, you just have to rest and then be serious." Your uncle and I have always believed in one thing, and the body is not afraid of shadows. As long as we do not do anything that hurts nature and reason, or violates the law and discipline, we are not afraid of being framed by outsiders. ”
When Jia Zhu heard this, he was even more respectful and humble to Xing Shuang, and when he returned to Zhijietang to see his mother, he couldn't help but say to his mother: "No matter which elder in our family, they are all admirable figures. ”
His mother laughed and said, "Who have you been to, how can you feel this way?" ”
Jia Zhu repeated Xing Shuang's words, and continued: "I have been studying since I was a child, and I rarely listen to women talk about any big truths. But aunts and mothers are both exemplary and admirable among women. ”
Wang listened to his son praise himself, although he was happy, he also knew that his son was afraid that he would be jealous, so he brought his own by the way. She smiled and said, "Although your aunt is a woman, she can also afford to be a decent gentleman." It's not just you, it's me who admires her. Although I can't compare to her, as long as she is around, I will save myself three times a day. ”
