Chapter 269: Mess
Jia Jing died, and the East Mansion was in chaos, and the You family was not only busy with the Tieji Temple, but also preparing the Dharma Dojo, and taking care of the affairs of the family.
She couldn't keep herself busy, so she wanted to find a few helpers. Wang Xifeng is still recuperating in Rongguo Mansion, Li Kun has to take care of the sisters, Jia Baoyu has never been in contact with general affairs, she can only temporarily entrust the outside affairs to a few stewards, and find people from the clansmen to barely hold things up.
She asked her stepmother to help take care of the family for a while.
However, You's stepmother said that there were only two unmarried daughters left in the family, and she was really worried and had to take them over to live together.
This is reasonable, and of course You Shi agrees.
Although Jia Baoyu doesn't care about it, he will also care about the situation in Dongfu, and he heard that Zhen's sister-in-law's mother is here, and everything in Dongfu has been arranged, so he is also relieved for You's family.
Jiang Yan didn't think so, the You family is outside the city most of the time now, and judging from the virtue that Old Lady You taught her daughter to, she doesn't know what kind of Ning Guofu will become.
But now the maids on the side of Rongguo Mansion don't know what is going on in Ning Guofu, and they heard that there are two beautiful girls in Dongfu, and they are all thinking about when they will be able to see each other.
It's a pity that they don't have a chance, the maids can't go out, and the You family sisters are inconvenient to come over, so they haven't been able to see them until the funeral is over.
Over there, Jia Zhen received You Shi's letter and hurriedly took leave. They sent the coffin of the concubine, and even if their father died, they couldn't go back at will.
Originally, this was definitely agreed, but now that the funeral of the concubine is so important, the Ministry of Rites does not dare to reply to him at will, so it will be played in the book and asked the emperor to decide in person.
After the emperor saw that Jia Jing was born in Ningguo Mansion and was a meritorious hero, of course he wanted to show his attention to the old minister, so he called the people from the Ministry of Rites in to ask.
Jia Jing, who originally had no sense of existence, was beautiful after his death, and he was able to be personally interrogated by the emperor.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu did not dare to say that Jia Jing was killed by taking pills, only saying that he was old and sick, and he often recuperated in the Xuanzhen Temple outside the capital, and now died there due to illness. His son Jia Zhen and grandson Jia Rong came to ask for leave because of the national funeral.
The emperor wanted to show his benevolence and kindness to the old ministers, so he made a gracious decree, not only letting Jia Zhen and Jia Rong go back, but also posthumously giving Jia Jing the official position of Wupin, allowing the princes of the court to go to pay respects, and also let his funeral not be too simple.
With this decree, not only the people in Jiafu were grateful, but even all the ministers in the court were grateful for the emperor's kindness, and they were more loyal to the emperor than before, and he could be regarded as having achieved his goal.
Jia Zhen and his son got the holy decree, so they rushed back overnight, and walked quickly along the way, without casting the shop, and went straight to the Tieji Temple.
On the way, I met the clansmen sent by the You family, and I heard that the family had been arranged, and the You family picked up You Lao Niang and the two younger sisters, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong glanced at each other, and said that it was okay, and then galloped into the starry night and went to the family temple.
Jia Zhen and Jia Rong arrived at the Tieji Temple before dawn, and the two of them didn't care about the startled subordinates, they cried loudly when they got off the horse, and crawled in from outside the gate, and kowtowed in front of the coffin, crying until dawn and their throats were dumb. has done enough to be a filial son and grandson.
Jia Zhen was waited for to change into mourning clothes, and she had to guard in front of the coffin.
You Shi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Uncle, don't be sad too much, everything in this family must be arranged by the uncle, or arrange the funeral first, so that the master can also leave with peace of mind." ”
Jia Zhen had no choice but to listen to everyone's persuasion, put away some sadness, and began to command everyone.
The first is to let Jia Rong go home to take care of the matter of stopping the spirit.
After Jia Rong heard that the two aunts were coming, she was looking forward to going back, and after listening to Jia Zhen's instructions, she immediately rode home on horseback.
As soon as he got off the horse, he ordered his subordinates to clean up the tables and chairs, hang white curtains, and set up a shed at the door to prepare for the funeral.
Then he hurried to the backyard to see his grandmother and two aunts.
You Lao Niang is old and is sleeping in the house, only Second Sister You and Third Sister You and a few girls are doing needlework inside.
When Jia Rong came in, she looked at him with a smile and said with a smile: "Second aunt, you are here again, our father is thinking about you." ”
The people in this room are all their own people, and even a few girls have got started, and Jia Rong doesn't hide her words at all.
Second Sister You was still a little ashamed, and scolded him with a red face, "Boy Rong, you are really becoming more and more indecent, you are everyone's son, you study and learn etiquette every day, and you are not even as good as an outside boy." ”
As he spoke, he picked up an iron and was about to hit him.
She is gentle, even if she scolds, she doesn't make people afraid, Jia Rong pretended to be scared, and while hiding, she fell into her arms. He kept rubbing her chest, and said in his mouth: "Good aunt, spare me." ”
Third Sister You came up directly and tore his mouth, "If you do this again, when my sister comes back, we will tell her directly!" ”
Jia Rong is still a little afraid of Third Sister You, her temper is unpredictable, who knows if she will really tell You Shi, if she really lets You Shi know, the good life of him and his father will be gone, at least this sister flower will not be available.
Jia Rong hurriedly came out of Second Sister You's arms and begged them for mercy. Seeing the two of them laughing, they became presumptuous again, clamoring to eat the sand kernels in Second Sister You's mouth.
The maids couldn't look past it, and said with a smile: "The filial piety is on the body, the old lady has just slept, you are so disrespectful to your aunt, and you are too disrespectful to no one." Be careful to come back and tell your grandfather and grandma, so that you can't eat and walk around. ”
Jia Rong came down one by one, hugged the maid and kissed her, "Be careful what you said, then I will be disrespectful to you." ”
The maids hurriedly pushed him away, and scolded in their mouths: "You short-lived ghost, you don't have a wife and maids, why do you come to make trouble with us." When people see it, the nosy tongue-chewing person is going to spread it to the next door house, and whoever doesn't chew his tongue behind his back says that we are a dirty nest here. ”
Jia Rong smiled: "Everyone has their own way." Besides, you think there's nothing going on over there? Second Uncle Lian and Aunt Lian are eyebrows, don't you see that Aunt Feng is so powerful, and someone still has the idea of beating her. I just didn't say it. ”
As she was talking, Mrs. You woke up, Jia Rong hurriedly said hello to Mrs. You, and thanked Mrs. You for her hard work these days.
You Lao Niang said a few polite words and asked when Jia Zhen would come back.
Jia Rong replied, saying that his father begged her to stay until the end of the funeral.
Second Sister You knew what he meant, and secretly snorted him twice, Jia Rong didn't care, and coaxed Mrs. You to say that Jia Zhen had shown the two aunts to each other, and they happened to stay here to make it easier for them to see each other.
As soon as You Lao Niang heard this, she was moved, and besides, Jiafu was much better than her family, so she stayed.
