Chapter 463 Jia Mu: I'm not dead yet!
Honor Hall
Seeing that the atmosphere was gloomy, the main reason was that Jia Heng didn't speak, giving people the illusion of "I'm under a lot of pressure". A layer of worry climbed up on the face of the duck egg with a few small freckles, and whispered: "Old lady , the food is ready, it's time to eat."
Mother Jia nodded, maybe she also felt that it was difficult for others to be strong, after all, he was a vassal of the country, a nobleman, and people said that he had been a prince for decades, with a deep foundation, and it was really difficult to deal with, she said: "Okay, let's not deal with it first." Having said that, everyone is hungry, let’s eat first.”
Daiyu frowned, her bright eyes were as bright as water, and looked at the young man with a cold face, her gloomy eyebrows and eyes filled with mist and mist cast deep thoughts in the evening mist.
Others only saw that he held great power and had a decent reputation, but few people thought that he also had many opponents outside.
Isn't it true that my father is patrolling salt in the south?
Sitting on the embroidered pier next to Yuan Chun, Baochai also looked at the young man, her moist and shiny almond eyes filled with worry, she was worried, but she hadn't passed the door, so she couldn't ask too many questions.
Jia Heng put down the teacup, his expression remained calm, and he said in a flat tone: "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself, and I will treat you like this."
When Jia Mu heard the words, her complexion changed, her lips moved, and she hesitated to speak.
And Tan Chun stared at the young man, his bright eyes glowed brightly, remember that Brother Heng said that about the Eldest Master back then?
Ok?
What seems to be wrong?
The bright and majestic girl, as an early fan of Jia Heng, remembered every word of Jia Heng's early years in her heart compared to the fans who joined later.
Baochai tasted the words from "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan", the almond eyes moved slightly, and the girl with crystal clear thoughts was already guessing all kinds of things for a while.
If there is a backhand arrangement...
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he didn't say anything else.
After everyone finished eating absent-mindedly, they sat down to talk again.
Sitting on the Luohan bed, Jiamu rubbed her shoulders with Yuanyang, Hupo and other maids, and sighed: "Brother Heng, since year after year, our family has a few relatives, and it seems that there is always bad luck. Listening to what the big girl means, we have to go to the Ping An Jiao Festival for a few more days, and such incidents happened back and forth in the house, which makes people palpitate."
Hearing this, Jia Heng glanced at Yuan Chun, who was sitting quietly in the distance, and just this one glance made Yuan Chun feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Heng, there is also some bad luck." Yuan Chun's cheeks were slightly hot, and he said softly.
Zi didn't say anything strange, let alone a military general like Brother Heng who was leading the army abroad, he didn't take these things seriously.
Jia Heng said: "Eldest sister's words are feasible. The garden broke ground in the past two days. It might surprise some gods and Buddhas along the way. Why don't we hold a water and land ceremony together."
Since I was looking for comfort in my heart, I simply made it together.
"Well, I'm also thinking about it." Yuan Chun said softly with a beautiful smile, slightly lowering her beautiful eyes, feeling a little sweet in her heart that her proposal was approved.
"I don't know how you and Feng girl discussed about the repair of the garden? I never asked, but I heard that the group house where the servants usually live was demolished. Maybe it was you who said it. Don't be surprised by some gods. "Mother Jia said softly, subconsciously, she didn't want to be immersed in the grief just now, and then continued: "There are also mountains, rocks and trees that need to be transplanted in the courtyard on the East Road..."
As he said that, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
Sister Feng turned her phoenix eyes under Liu Shao's eyebrows, and sighed slightly in her heart, now there is really no need to argue with the elder, everyone is exiled, and no one will stop her from transplanting.
Jia Heng said: "Now that the terrain has been surveyed, the construction of the pavilions and pavilions is underway. I want to let them fall in a few shifts, so that the construction can be done faster and it can be completed earlier."
Mother Jia nodded, not knowing what it was like.
On the one hand, the eldest son and his grandson were exiled to other provinces, and on the other hand, the family was rich in financial resources and started building large-scale construction projects. Is this family flourishing or declining?
Mrs. Wang's complexion moved slightly, and she said softly: "Old lady, I don't know how much money I spent, but this father-in-law only has some spare silver, so I just use it like this, should I think about it."
I didn't realize it before, but now it's all her second room's money.
Jia Zheng shook his head and sighed: "It's fine to repair the garden. Now that Rongguo has no successors, following the example of Brother Zhen of the Dongfu, the imperial court will confiscate the government's money and seize the imperial order. I don't know what's next."
Not only the East Mansion was talking about it, but the servants of the West Mansion also had rumors. Jia Zheng also heard some rumors. Out of a responsible attitude, he had to remind his family.
Jia Mu angrily said, "I'm not dead yet."
This question has obviously been thought about by Mother Jia. She doesn't believe that she is still alive. She just lives here and won't leave. Who will bully her, a widowed princess!
Jia Zheng's complexion changed suddenly, he left the table and knelt down, saying: "Mother... my son dare not."
"Okay, okay." Mother Jia supported her forehead, motioning for Lin Zhixiao to help Jia Zheng up.
It was just the conversation between the two that cast a heavy haze over Rongqingtang.
In particular, Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, and her heart was full of surprises.
Secretly, if the treasury is sealed, it's really better to spend the money quickly.
Mrs. Xing's expression was unbelievable, she murmured: "Old lady, the imperial court wants to take away the imperial order?"
I really didn't expect this one before, or I was still immersed in the news that Jia She and his son "nearly escaped".
At this time, everyone couldn't help looking at the boy.
With burning eyes, Jia Mu asked, "Brother Heng, the court won't take that step, will it?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "Once the title of criminal officer is deprived, the imperial lady will also be removed. If it is the punishment of exile, even the female relatives will be exiled together, or even filled into the Jiaofang Division. Now there is no such involvement. Already the Holy Lord Long En is mighty."
The unity of husband and wife is not an empty talk. The husband commits a crime and is exempted from office, and the female relatives are also exiled or filled into the teaching department.
For example, Miaoyu, whose father Chang Jin used to weave for Suzhou, was ransacked and beheaded after his home was ransacked. Miaoyu's mother, knowing her fate, could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging herself from a three-foot white silk beam.
Miaoyu, on the other hand, was not noticed by the government because she became a monk in a temple, so she escaped the danger.
As long as Mrs. Rong Guotai survives for a day in Jia's house, the royal family who pay more attention will not fill the criminal female relatives into the Jiaofang Secretary.
The four major families of Dream of Red Mansions were copied after the death of Jia's mother.
Mrs. Xing's face was ashen when she heard this, and her heart was already panicked to the extreme.
The fate is gone, what should she do?
Not only Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Wang was also in a daze, her eyes were uncertain.
Suddenly realized a problem, if the second master is gone, will her imperial wife also be gone?
But Jia Mu comforted herself and said: "The palace is kind and generous. Even if the imperial order is taken away, there will be no such step."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "What the old lady said is very true, so it is a honor to see that the female relatives are not involved in the case."
"Brother Heng, the Duke's Mansion, the palace won't take it away, will it?" Mother Jia hesitated for a while, and couldn't help asking.
In other words, subconsciously look for some answers you want to hear to confirm.
Moreover, it was Jia Heng who personally confirmed it, and one step further...
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "In the end, the name is not right and the word is not going well. Now that there is no one in Rongguo, and the ownership of the Duke's mansion, it is hard to say in the future. It is easy to say when the old lady is here, but in the future... In short, it is better to make plans early stop."
To tell the truth, there is no one in Rongguo who inherited the title. "Imperially build the Rongguo Mansion", in the city of Shenjing where the rich and powerful gather, is it eye-catching or not?
Such a century-old Duke's mansion has a vast mansion and a lot of property, and there are always coveted people sharpening their knives.
At that time, he was no longer a loyal and obedient king.
Mother Jia heard that her old face was constantly changing. In fact, she had thought about it before. Once she was a hundred years old, she was afraid that the Rongguo Mansion would be so big...
Mrs. Wang's face was also as pale as paper, her hands and feet were cold, and she could hardly breathe.
With the eldest house gone, Rongguo Mansion will not fall on her second house in the future?
Jia Mu said anxiously: "Brother Heng, can't you ask the palace for a favor?"
Jia Heng said: "The old lady has a lot of experience. Since she is a sensible person, why should she talk foolishly? I wait for military honors and rest with the country, and the honor is almost my life! Because of the honor, children and grandchildren don't have to study the imperial examination system. Art, but my lord, to put it bluntly, it is the imperial court that provides for it, and it is also the foundation of wealth. If the descendants of later generations lose the titles earned by their ancestors by licking their blood, the rest of the wealth is like rootless duckweed. In this capital, the left and right are also Fish on someone else's chopping board!"
Jia Zheng sighed and persuaded, "Mom, now that the title is gone, why don't we go back to Jinling and wait a few years before trying to revive the family business."
As soon as these words came out, in line with Jia Heng's words, it was as if the window paper was pierced in full view, and the cruel reality was nakedly presented in front of everyone.
It's not that Jia Amnesty's first house is gone, the second house can take advantage of the trend to inherit the family business, but... good times are yet to come!
Mrs. Wang's heart trembled slightly, she felt five thunders crashing on her head, her body was shaking, and the jade bracelet serving behind her hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her.
Yuanchun and Tanchun also looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they had feelings for the importance of the lord before, they were not very deep in fact.
Xiangyun supported his stomach with one hand, and listened to the conversation of several people, with concentration on Apple's face.
Hmm, I don't know why.
Baochai's snow-like jade face was as indifferent as ice, and she was thinking about it, when she suddenly felt something strange in her arm, but it was Yinger, a maidservant at the side, who seemed to touch her shoulder.
His eyes were in a trance, and he sighed faintly.
How can I not know Yinger's meaning?That day, if I had listened to my mother's words...
Daiyu pursed her pink lips while listening to the conversation of several people, her eyes drooped slightly, she was also thinking about her own affairs.
Her Lin family was a marquis from generation to generation, until her father's generation, she no longer inherited the title of title, but she became an official through the imperial examination, and finally maintained her family reputation.
Mother Jia looked anxious and asked, "Brother Heng, is there no other way?"
"Why not?" Jia Heng's voice was like gold and stone, and said in a deep voice: "Let Baoyu, Brother Cong, and Brother Huan join the army, earn a title in the future, and then ask the Holy One for grace to worship the ancestors of Rongguo, so that the Duke can be saved. House, revive the voice of the family."
"Baoyu is still a child... besides, he is not expected to join the army." When Jia Mu heard about Baoyu, she was anxious and said hurriedly.
"Brother Cong and Brother Huan..." Jia Mu turned to talk, and gradually felt like a stick in her throat, and swallowed half of the words.
If brothers Cong and Brother Huan were allowed to obtain titles, wouldn't the family property of the Duke's House fall into their hands?
Absolutely not!
Looking at Jia Mu's hesitant expression, Jia Heng said: "The old lady thinks about it slowly, this matter is not urgent, the old lady is in her prime."
Mrs. Wang felt that a big stone was pressing on her heart, which almost made her breathless.
"Let's not talk about that, it sounds scary." Aunt Xue smiled and changed the subject.
Mother Jia nodded hastily: "Let's not talk about that, as the old saying goes, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge."
Then he glared at Jia Zheng, and said angrily, "It's so good, you have to bring this up!"
Jia Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end it turned into a long sigh.
Jia Heng also stopped mentioning this matter, and said instead: "Knowing that the old lady loves to listen to operas, I thought of discussing with Sister-in-law Feng that I would go south to Gusu to buy an opera troupe that understands Kunqu opera, and put it in the garden in the future for the sake of having children." , Prepare for the festive feast, by the way, sister Lin will not have a baby next month, if there is such a thing, it will save the need to hire a troupe."
Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were cleared out of the Rongguo Mansion. It can be said that Jia's mother was at the point of extreme lack of security. Because of this, she asked him to come over for dinner immediately, subconsciously wanting to see his attitude.
When Daiyu heard the young man mentioning herself, her heart skipped a beat, and the bright eyes under the willow leaf slender eyebrows flashed, and she was at a loss for a moment.
So when buying an opera troupe, is it for the old lady to listen to the opera, or for...
Going south to Gusu?Gusu?
Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help raising her bright starry eyes, and took a peek at Jia Heng, only to see that young man was lowering his head while sipping tea, casting his eyes on Jia Heng as if he had sensed it.
Hmm, cool?Or gentle?
Daiyu panicked, her eyebrows drooped slightly, and her slender hands were gently stirring the red tassels in the sachet.
Baochai was holding a teacup by herself, sipping tea in a leisurely way like that young nobleman, her elegant, bright and slightly baby-fat white face, with a pale complexion, her apricot eyes turned away, peeking at Daiyu.
Immediately, the tea soup in the teacup rippled, and the ripples expanded several times.
At this moment, Mother Jia subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, Jia Heng's gentle attitude as always, even better than before, gave Jia Mu a subconscious sense of security.
Most likely, the Ningrong and Rongfu's two houses are connected with each other, and they are very close, just like yesterday... that's good.
Jia Heng persuaded: "Old lady, I said earlier in the ancestral hall that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Doesn't the old lady still have Brother Lang? It is unknown if the family will shine in the future."
Mother Jia sighed and looked at Li Wan who was serving beside her.
At the moment, the young woman is wearing a blue chrysanthemum-patterned double-breasted jacket, and a moon-white skirt. She has an elegant and beautiful appearance without makeup, and there is a lingering tranquility between her eyebrows and eyes.
"Brother Lan is a good person, just like Baoyu. In the future, he will study hard and become an official through the imperial examination." Jiamu said with emotion.
Baochai was sipping fragrant tea by herself, and the tea soup in the teacup swayed in circles and ripples again, even a tea bead splashed out of the tea soup, which was obviously not much, and even her increasingly plump and beautiful body trembled slightly .
Li Wan called softly: "Old Ancestor", and glanced at the young man out of the corner of his eye. The Ropa hidden in his sleeve was pinched by a pair of plain hands with clipped nails, and the Ropa orchids were clustered together.
Previously, the host was not in vain, but this time, it was first with the master, and now it was with the old lady.
Wait a few days, hold a banquet, and invite another host.
Jia Heng talked with Mother Jia for a while, then looked at Aunt Xue and Baochai, and said softly, "I have something to discuss with Auntie and Sister Xue."
Aunt Xue originally wanted to ask Jia Heng to be the host, but because of the result of Jia Amnesty's punishment, she was "jumped into the queue" by Jia's mother, and she had to push it to the next few days. Meaning, said: "Brother Heng, go to Lixiangyuan to talk, it happens that Wenlong is also at home."
Baochai got up at the same time and said goodbye to Jia Mu.
Seeing this scene, Daiyu Qiushui's bright eyes flashed.
……
……
Zhongshun Palace
It was already the time of Xuzheng, and the mansion with a deep courtyard was brightly lit, and the silk and bamboo were in disorder.
King Zhongshun was embracing his concubine's room, listening to a few actors in costumes singing a good show about Wu Song drunk beating Jiang Menshen.
At this moment, a thin figure hurried up to the attic with an expression, walked around six glass maple leaf screens, stood on the red carpet of mandarin ducks tribute from Qianxiang Kingdom, bowed his hands and said, "My lord."
"How to say?" King Zhongshun put down the wine cup, waved his hand, pushed concubine Ji away, and stared at Zhou Changshi.
Zhou Changshi's face was not very good-looking, "Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from the palace that the case of Jia Amnesty has come to fruition."
"So fast? Who supervised the beheading?" King Zhongshun asked with joy on his face.
Zhou Changshi shook his head and said: "He was not executed. Both father and son were exiled to Guizhou, and they were not pardoned. I heard that the title is worth the punishment."
The joy on King Zhongshun's face quickly receded like a tide, and then he said in surprise: "The Kingdom of Rong has lost its title."
Zhou Changshi said in a low voice: "My lord, after all, the Holy Majesty is still lenient, which shows that the child has a lot of face."
King Zhongshun's face suddenly became gloomy, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied. Why didn't he kill any of them with all his efforts?
Sensing Wang Zhongshun's mind, Zhou Changshi comforted him and said: "My lord, the Rongning Second Mansion has eliminated one prince. Although there is no dead person, it is not bad. My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient."
"It's still a pity... But once exiled, if you don't keep it together, you will die, just like Jia Zhen, hehe." King Zhongshun let out a long breath, his eyes flashed coldly, and he clearly had some thoughts.
Zhou Changshi said: "My lord, this matter cannot be forced."
King Zhongshun nodded, and while he was muttering, he suddenly thought of something, put down the wine cup, raised his eyes suddenly, and said, "I remember, the Rongguo Mansion was built by the Ministry of Households, right? When Jia Zhen lost her title, she was confiscated." The mansion was given to the child later?"
Zhou Changshi immediately guessed what King Zhongshun was thinking, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Mrs. Rong Guotai is still here, so I'm afraid it won't work."
"Then the damn old woman can go back to Jinling. Since no one enjoys an official title in Beijing, why don't you go back to Jinling?" King Zhongshun sneered, and said sideways: "Now that the imperial court is in dire straits, the wealth from the Rongguo Mansion is filled. It is the right thing to use official money to relieve the country's crisis."
"My lord, this move will damage the holiness after all. If my lord plans this secretly, I'm afraid it will be taboo by the sage." Zhou Changshi advised.
King Zhongshun frowned, his smile disappeared, and his eyes were deep. He had to admit that what Zhou Changshi said was reasonable.
But I think of the indifferent gaze of the emperor in the court before, although he has no likes or dislikes, but there is a kind of coldness that thunders and never falls.
King Zhongshun thought for a while, then said sternly, "Then let's take advantage of the Rongguo Mansion first."
Zhou Changshi said: "Don't be angry, my lord. When the war comes together, there will be someone who looks good at that time!"
King Zhongshun nodded, turned to look up at Qi Guaner on the stage, and said in a low voice: "Qi Guaner has also made great contributions, tomorrow he will pay tribute to the enamel, glass and porcelain vases from the West, and the tribute from Siam. Buddha beads, Jade Buddha, pick a few pieces and reward him."
