Chapter Ninety-Six: Captain Du and Xue Family Enter Beijing
Jia Lian is counting the days and living in the partial account.
Although in front of his brother Wu Yong, he made a confident statement, only keeping Lao Zongzheng and the crown prince here, and the eighth prince who killed himself should not be imprisoned - but now that he is under house arrest in this camp, it is also difficult.
Just after a day, he couldn't sit still.
Especially when I heard that the long rice water of the mausoleum guard did not enter, it has been described as withered.
Jia Lian was inevitably a little worried in his heart, even though Huang Qi was already a real criminal official, he had not yet reached a conclusion...... But the eldest husband stands between heaven and earth, and he must not be humiliated like Huang Qi!
Jia Lian secretly said that the Jia family has the friendship of four kings and eight dukes, if he runs away at this time, maybe it will not affect the family?
It's just that when he thinks about running, he really can't let go.
The old sect taught me to do what I wanted, so I will wait a little longer.
The Eighth Prince will kill him, if the truth is embarrassing, it will not be too late to leave, and no one in this Shenji camp will dare to stop me. ’
In this way, Jia Lian held his mind and lived in the partial account for three days in a row.
When he first came with the prince, the banners on the road traveled for ten months, that is, for ten days.
Now that such a big thing has happened in the imperial tomb, it is necessary to speed up the whip, and only on the morning of the fourth day, the imperial court has responded. The envoy rushed to the outside of the emperor's mausoleum, and taught the prince to pack up the relevant people and return to Beijing.
This kind of arrangement is obviously to be disposed of after everyone returns to Beijing, with only one exception.
It was Jia Lian who was in the middle of the road.
The imperial court ordered that he deliberately go to Jia Lian's Zhengsipindu Division first, but he also made up for the rank of Captain of the Cavalry, which is also Zhengsipin.
Then teach the cavalry captain Jia Lian to report to Beijing with the prince quickly.
dismissed the real official and added another honorable officer, which made Jia Lian a little confused.
The prince was ordered to return to Beijing. On the way, Wu Yong came over, and when he saw Jia Lian, he bowed his hand and congratulated: "Congratulations to my brother." ”
The two rode side by side, mingling in the elongated procession.
Jia Lian said: "What's the matter with congratulations?" After returning to Beijing, I am afraid that I will not be able to have a good time, and I will be stripped of my serious official position, and I will only make up for a cavalry lieutenant, and everyone in the officialdom knows that the commander should be one or two grades greater than the actual position. ”
Wu Yong said with a smile: "Brother Fei still thinks that after that incident, he can still get out of the way?" It is a blessing to have a lord down, and I think that the court should have some conclusions about the matter of the emperor's mausoleum, and it is expected that the eighth prince will commit a crime. Therefore, even if the elder brother has the crime of great disrespect, he must first give the commander and block the mouths of the people. ”
Jia Lian couldn't help but nod his head, he also saw that the envoy had settled the matter, but he was a little greedy, and said with a smile at this time: "I want to save the prince and the princes, the credit is really not small, the court does not say that the two ranks are promoted, how can you reward some gold and silver, otherwise how can other officials dare to die in the future." ”
Although he didn't like officialdom to accept the dealings, it didn't prevent Jia Lian from being dissatisfied, when he was the dragon forbidden lieutenant in the palace, he wanted to be the minister of Zhengyipin, and when he was the capital secretary of the Shenji Battalion, he also wanted the position of the chief official Feng Tang, and he was the governor of the Shenji Battalion.
This is also human nature.
In view of the crowd of people on the way, Jia Lian and Wu Yong just whispered things, and each laughed for a while before dispersing.
……
It was May 15, ten days after the Dragon Boat Festival.
Jia Lian and the prince were still on their way back to Beijing, but the other group came to Kyoto with great fanfare.
The vehicles were one after another, the servants followed, the pearls and jade utensils were innumerable, and the gold and colored cloths were counted, boldly exposing the money.
Those who have extensive knowledge already know it, and pointed to it: "This is the person from the Xue family in Jinling, so Xue Gongyi, a person from Ziwei She, and now the grandmother who is in charge of the family, is the sister of Wang Zisheng who took office in the north a few days ago, and the nine provinces are all inspected." ”
Another said: "This family hasn't seen each other for a long time, and it used to be a gateway to Kyoto." ”
"Yes, yes......"
The other side.
After Aunt Xue led the group into Beijing, she first arrived at the mansion of the first Ziwei people who stayed in Kyoto, summoned a few housekeepers who were often in Kyoto, and arranged all the people from Jinling.
Then, Aunt Xue set off again with a much lighter entourage, all the way to Pingwan County, Kyoto, and Ningrong Street.
In Rongguo's mansion, Mrs. Wang in the second room got the news early and was waiting for her sister-in-law Aunt Xue to come to the door.
It was also after the prince was promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and the Wang family was emptied, and Mrs. Wang had less contact with her mother's family.
According to the previous discussion with Jia's mother, the Lixiang Courtyard in the northeast of the house had already been cleaned up, and Mrs. Wang, along with Sister Feng, asked Baoyu and Jia Rong from Xifu to help receive them, and arranged for Aunt Xue and her party to move in.
One afternoon, the Xue family had not finished moving.
Mrs. Wang pulled Aunt Xue over first, and said with a smile: "People are slow down and not in a hurry, the old lady has been chattering for a long time, you and I will go and ask for peace first." ”
Jia's mother has a very large number of generations, and she is a super princess, which of the four families in Jinling does not call the ancestor when she sees it.
Aunt Xue naturally said yes, and hurriedly called her daughter Xue Jinchai to come over, but as for her son Xue Pan, she still had to stare at Lixiangyuan, so she could only go later.
Xue Baochai came over with a few maids behind him, and when he saw Mrs. Wang, he smiled and saluted, "I've seen my aunt." ”
Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, and said, "Miss Bao is becoming more and more symbolic, in my opinion, she is born with the appearance of a nobleman." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xue Baochai to his side.
Aunt Xue helped Qian to say a few words, after all, there is no word about Baochai's draft.
Several people laughed all the way and left Lixiangyuan and rushed to meet Jia's mother.
Xue Pan saw them walk away from afar, and he was helpless, so he had to be busy in a muffled voice.
Fortunately, the Xue family knows that this bantou dragon is powerful now, and no one dares to tease him with some pickled things.
In the evening, the house was divided, decorated, and the gold and silver were also brought into the warehouse, and Aunt Xue took Baochai back to Lixiangyuan.
Xue Pan looked at Aunt Xue's face, but she didn't know where to eat in Jia's house, so she came up to help her.
Aunt Xue sighed first, and Fang Shiqiang cheered up and said: "The old lady has spoken, let Miss Bao just move to where she lives, her ancestor is the one who loves to be lively." This is good intentions, we don't shirk it, you can help arrange for your sister to come over. ”
Xue Pan nodded, he was not a delicate person, so he didn't ask Aunt Xue why she sighed, but said: "It's good for Baochai to move there, say it, my sister is teaching under the Duchess of the Kingdom, and others should respect you first." ”
So it was busy again, Aunt Xue ate wine and went to rest first.
Xue Pan helped Baochai move the house, and at the same time heard that Jia's mother hadn't slept yet, so he took a few small servants and went all the way to ask Jia's mother for peace.
The Xue family and the Jia family carried the utensils behind, and passed the Rongguo Mansion in a lively manner.
