Chapter 17: Jealousy

"Feng, the day carries the emperor, the system said: Now there is the grandson of Ningguo, the son of the five-grade general Jia Jing, although he is still young, but he is talented, he is smart, smart, loyal and pure, this is the blessing of the great swallow from the sky, the soul child is Zhaozhao, I am very happy, so I specially gave Jia Jing to enter the Jingyang Palace with a white body, and study with the princes. Oh yes! ”

"Grass people Jia Jing, thank you!"

Jia Jing knocked on the leader's order, and Dai Quan stepped forward with a smile to help him up and said, "Childe, have you heard what Your Majesty means clearly?" Jia Jing nodded: "Jia Jing understands." ”

Dai Quan said with a smile: "Childe is really lucky, I can't help but be favored by the Emperor, and I can't hide that Your Majesty also loves it, and Your Majesty's words are now hanging in the palace from time to time to admire and admire." ”

Jia Jing was taken aback and said, "How could Your Majesty ...... Vulgar and ugly, for fear of polluting the Holy Hearing, and did not dare to be rampant. Dai Quan couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was clever: "But I really have a delicate heart, isn't it the talent of the world that makes Gongzi monopolized?" ”

Jia Jing smiled faintly, and Dai Quan said: "Our vernacular is nothing else, but I just want the son to remember that His Majesty treats the son differently...... Jia Jing's eyes turned and bowed and said: "Jia Jing does not dare to live up to the emperor's grace, but if he has a drive, he will do his best to repay it." ”

Dai Quan nodded with a smile and left, and everyone in Jiafu also greeted him with a smile, Jia Zhen smiled: "The second brother is really amazing, our family has not received the holy decree in the past few years, and after the second brother came back, the holy decree came one after another." ”

Hearing this, Jia Jing hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm tired of worrying about your uncles and brothers. Jia Zheng smiled kindly and waved his hand: "Brother Jing'er, my family's Zhilan Yushu, is now a saint, and we and other old people are honored to follow the order, how can we feel tired?" ”

Jia Yu also smiled and said: "Brother Jing is a good one, don't learn from your second brother." Jia Jing smiled and said: "The second brother is also good, I heard that the eldest brother sent someone to ask for an official with the same knowledge of the five grades for the second brother?" Jia Yu was a little unaccustomed to chatting with such a young child, so he said perfunctorily: "It's just a false title, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Jia Jing said with deep meaning: "The second brother's title is of great use, and even if the second brother doesn't go out in the future and only does things at home, I think the second brother is a clean and neat one, and he must be able to handle the family affairs in an orderly manner." ”

Saying that, Jia Lian, who lowered his head behind him and didn't dare to breathe, arched his hand and said, "In the future, I will have to ask the second brother a lot." Jia Lian smiled bitterly, but Jia Yu scolded: "Damn it! Look at how your brother talks in a way, but you can't even break a fart! Shame on the brute! ”

Jia Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, knowing that Jia Yu was dissatisfied with his words too much, Jia Lian was startled and hurriedly said: "The second brother is polite, and it was originally what an elder brother should do." Jia Jing didn't say much and nodded with a smile, but Jia Zheng said: "The old lady has sent someone to call several times, I heard that Brother Jing is going to Xuanzhen Temple to continue practicing?" ”

Jia Jing nodded and said: "I was going to pray for the old man's filial piety, but the Emperor Taishang praised my Taoism for having a hot time, and encouraged my nephew to continue to practice, so it's not good not to go." Jia Jing knew that if he continued to grind, he would go to Jia's mother, and he was afraid that the whole family would persuade him to stay in Jiafu.

What are you doing in Jiafu? Funeral accompaniment?

So it's better to use the emperor as a shield, and cut off the retention of the people of Jiafu early, sure enough, Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment when he heard the words and said: "That's not good to be like this all the time, when the filial piety period is over, I still have to go home." ”

Jia Jing said with a smile: "That's natural, when you are older, you won't study in Jingyang Palace, the emperor will see less, and naturally he will have no thoughts, and he will naturally come back at that time." Jia Zheng smiled: "That's fine." Jia Jing was puzzled: "Why haven't you seen Brother Zhu today?" Jia Zheng sighed: "Your eldest brother Zhu was ruthless when he was young, it turned out that he was not in good health, and he was infected with wind cold a few days ago, and now he is sick." ”

When Jia Jing heard this, he said in his heart that Jia Zhu was afraid that he didn't survive this time, and even if it wasn't this time, he was afraid that he would die of illness in the next two years, Jia Lan was Jia Zhu's widow in the previous life, Jia Lan was still young in the Red Mansion, and it can be seen that Jia Zhu died of illness in the past two years.

The group entered the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zhen, Jia Jing, Jia Lian first knelt down and kowtowed to Jia's mother, and then Jia's mother got up in a loud cry, and Jia's mother shouted: "Brother Jing, come up quickly, let the ancestors see." Jia Jing had no choice but to step forward, and before and after going up, Jia Mu naturally stroked her hair and patted her shoulder for a while before she smiled and said, "I heard that you want to go back to Xuanzhen Temple to practice?" ”

Jia Jing bowed and said: "Originally, I just wanted to pray for the lord's filial piety, but when I entered the palace, the emperor also liked my Taoism very much, so he ordered me to continue to practice. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she wanted to persuade her, but she could only sigh and say, "I heard that you still want to enter the palace to study with the princes?" Jia Jing nodded and said: "The emperor's grace is vast, and his grandson can enter Jingyang Palace in vain." ”

Jia Mu sighed: "It can be seen that this son and grandson are too good, and he is also worried, ah?" It attracted so many people to rob it! Everyone in the hall couldn't help but laugh thoughtfully, and Jia Mu said: "Although you are not idle, remember to come home to see my bad old woman, even if you don't look at me, your sisters miss you very much." ”

Jia Jing smiled and glanced at Sanchun, then nodded: "I just want to go home often, but I didn't really leave home." Everyone laughed, and Jia Mu smiled: "Those princes and grandsons are afraid that they are not easy to get along, you don't have to be afraid when you enter the palace, people like us don't have to be afraid of anything, your ancestors shed a lot of blood for his Li family, if they really bullied you, you just have to fight back, and I will support you when you come back!" ”

Jia Jing was really a little moved when he heard this, Jia's mother has this strength, as the only few remaining old men who have made great achievements in the founding of the country, Jia's mother really has this dignity in the royal family, Jia Daishan used to balance the Hongzhi heroes for the emperor and her own great achievements, as Jia Daishan's widow Mrs. Jia's mother, a daughter of the country, can count the women in the world on one hand.

This is also the reason why everyone in the Jia family is so submissive to the ancestors, although there are reasons for filial piety, but more importantly, this old lady is rich and rich, Jia's mother is here, Jia's family is here, if Jia's mother is gone, the Jia family is no different from the ordinary down-and-out nobles in front of the royal family!

If this old lady is really willing to enter the palace with a gold book for herself to see the queen complaining, even the emperor has to ask in person...... Jia Jing knew that this was because Jia's mother was afraid that she was honest and grew up in the Taoist temple since she was a child, and she was afraid that she would be cowardly and bullied in front of the wealth of the dragon son and grandson when she entered the palace.

Jia Jing has tears in his eyes, he has been a person since he crossed over, Jia Jing, the nominal father, is actually just to spy on himself, and it can be seen that it is only for his own interests, if it hinders him, he will really turn his face, Jia Zhen is a bastard who only cares about his own pleasure, although there is no conflict of interest at present, but he really doesn't take his younger brother seriously in his heart, Xichun is still too young, and it is not good for him to be weak in front of his sister as an elder brother.

Only Mother Jia, although this old lady just liked her appearance at first, but she cared about and loved herself like a real grandmother, Mother Jia had a way to say that as soon as Mother Jia was in the Jia family in the future, no one in the Jia family would dare to treat him coldly, and even he was more chic than Baoyu, because there was a Jia Zhengguan above Baoyu, but he was relaxed, and if Jia Jing was bullied by those princes and grandsons, it was not without cost for Jia Mu to really stand up for him, and the incense left by Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, was so much, and it was given to Jia Jing, The rest of the Najia family naturally lost this dignity.

Jia Jing is a smart person, and he naturally thinks about the twists and turns inside, and people are group animals after all, eager to get the help and love of family and friends, Jia Jing is very human, but he is not a stone heart that pops out of the cracks in the stone, how can he not be moved?

Jia Jing's eyes were slightly red, and he knelt on the ground and looked at Jia's mother: "Grandmother! Where can Jia's mother resist this, and hurriedly helped Jia Jing and said: "Good boy, get up, you can remember that your grandmother often comes to see it, where can I stop this, hurry up!" ”

Jia Jing got up with a smile and said, "Grandmother's kindness and care are in my heart. Jia Mu smiled: "What a lovely child, he is smart like this at a young age, no wonder even the Emperor and His Majesty like this." ”

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, who were sitting below, were all praised, and Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Brother Jing is naturally good, but it is good, those of us who are elders can't even do a little good, the Emperor and His Majesty and the old ladies have all taken possession of it, but it makes it difficult for us to do, and the old lady gives us some dignity." ”

Jia Jing glanced at Mrs. Wang when she heard this, knowing that although Mrs. Wang was a woman, she might not be unable to understand the stakes, I was afraid that she felt that she was too brilliant and made her two sons fall out of favor with the old lady.

So he smiled and said: "Brother Zhu and Baoyu are naturally stronger than me, the brothers are all children, rich and noble sons, Jingshan Yecun people are only cautious when they return home, and they don't even dare to make a mistake, lest they lose face and make people laugh, and my wife just cares about my face to praise me like this." ”

As he spoke, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Jing heard that Baoyu is a strange person born with jade, I don't know if Jing is blessed or not?" Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Jing was giving her face, so she said it to Baoyu, so she smiled and said, "You are his brother, why can't you see it?" Mrs. Xing next to her also interjected: "That's right, besides, my brother is a Taoist supernatural power that the emperor has praised, it's good to show your brother again!" ”

Jia Jing: "......"

Jia Mu: "......"

Mrs. Wang: "......"
