Sitting in the sedan chair, Jia Lian was also a little apprehensive. After all, the emperor was a figure who held the power of life and death, and he was standing upright with his eyes closed.After entering the palace, he went to the cabinet to wait. A group of elders stroked his shoulders and praised him for his filial piety. He hurriedly said a few words of humility. The friendship between Li, Yuan Jingfeng, Xu Yuheng and others made people think that he wanted to cling to them, so they pretended not to know, and when the golden bell and bronze sounded, they hurriedly sent the elders to the court, and then stayed in the cabinet to look through the edicts and proclamations.

Suddenly, a eunuch with a high-pitched voice said, "The sage announces that the first prize-winning soldier, Jia Lian, will meet you."

Jia Lian lowered his hands and followed the eunuch to go to the audience in fear. When he arrived at the main hall, he lowered his head and kowtowed from a distance, shouting long live. The one who said it sadly said something, and then another reward.

Jia Lian couldn't understand what the civil servant said, but he could hear the words "chunxiao" and "renxiao" clearly, and he kowtowed to thank him when he should.

Finally, when the reward was gone, someone brought up the matter of Jia Zheng. Sure enough, the courtiers either kept silent, or spurned Jia Zheng by citing scriptures. No one dared to stand up and say a word for Jia Zheng.

Jia Lian knelt down and kowtowed after everyone spurned Jia Zheng, "Grandmother is old..."

Those who had close contacts with Jia's mother and Jia Zheng were all relieved that they didn't dare to speak out, because Jia Lian was going to intercede for Jia Zheng.

"My father is weak, and I am young and ignorant. In the past, I respected my uncle very much. Therefore, I am terrified. I implore the Lord to discuss this matter after the Lantern Festival. No matter what happens in the future, let the old grandmother at home celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."

Wouldn't it be more worrying to be undecided?Nowadays, there are not many old people who are very popular, but Jia Lian is full of words about how old Jia Mu is, and how angry, hated and helpless Jia Amnesty is. Can it be resolved in a short while?So they all praised him for his benevolence and filial piety.

Shui Mu is aloof, and seeing Jia Lian is very honest, he just felt that the Rongguo Mansion fell into the hands of a dandy who was not yet weak, and there would be no troubles, so he had no choice but to say: "If that's the case, let's discuss it later. .”

Jia Lian immediately resigned, left the hall, looked at the flashy things that were rewarded today, and wondered when would he be qualified to stay in the hall to discuss matters?

Out of the palace gate, Zhao Tianliang waited to see another reward, happily asked someone to pick up the things, took another thick seal and rewarded the eunuch who sent Jia Lian out of the palace one by one, and then sent Jia Lian back to the sedan chair.

"Second master, do you want to wipe your body? It is said that the first and second masters went to the palace to thank you, and when they came out, their clothes were soaked through." Zhao Tianliang and Youyou asked outside the sedan chair.

"Can I be the same as the First Master and the Second Master?" Jia Lian wiped his forehead with his hands, and seeing a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he thought to himself that if he only came to thank you, he would only come to thank you, and no one could ask him to say more. a few words.At this time, there is no other distraction, it doesn’t seem that when I came here, I just rested my mind, so I opened the curtain slightly and looked outside, watching the people coming and going on the street, there are tricks from the north and the south, I thought it was interesting, so I took a second look until I entered Ningrong Street only lowered the curtain.

"Second Master, let's go directly to the Dongfu Ancestral Hall." Quan Fu and Quan Shou's voices sounded outside the sedan chair, and Jia Lian saw through the window a group of servants from the big house happily following outside the sedan chair, cursing: "Forgot Still in the filial piety of the old man?"

In a word, Quan Fu, Quan Shou, etc. were told to restrain themselves quickly, and followed behind with suppressed smiles.

Jia Lian's sedan chair stopped in front of the East Mansion's gate, and saw the gate of the East Mansion was opened, and a group of stewards dressed not inferior to their master followed Jia Rong and Jia Qiang in front of the stone lion in front of the gate. Among them, Jin Cai followed Jia Rong impressively. behind.

Jia Rong closed the curtain herself, called her second uncle to straighten Jia Lian's official hat, and invited him to enter the gate to speak.

Along the way, I saw all four generations of the Jia family's generation of characters, characters, jade characters, and grass characters coming. Jia Lian was surrounded by Jia Lian and entered the ancestral hall of the Jia family with lush vegetation. Going up to the front hall of the ancestral hall, you can see Jia She happily sitting on the mahogany grand master chair, Jia Zheng tightly holding hands with embarrassment, Jia Zhen and several old people of the generations are holding the written separation papers and waiting to give Jia Lian look.

"Brother Lian...cough cough." Jia Amnesty choked on his saliva as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jia Zheng was so frightened that he quickly stood up and handed him tea, fearing that now that Jia Amnesty was dead, the evidence of his attempted crime would be confirmed.

"Master, speak slowly. What's the matter?" Jia Lian asked knowingly.

"... I want to separate from the Rongguo Mansion. I have already told my ancestors, and I have been witnessed by the elders of the clan. I will never go back on my word in the future." Jia Zheng said.

"How can the second master do this? The old ancestor is still alive, if she knows, how sad and uncomfortable it will be?" Jia Lian said in astonishment, and saw a frail young man in a dull gray-purple dress handing Jia She the handkerchief, heartbroken He said that this was Jia Zhu, but fortunately, he still kept his filial piety for Jia Daishan. After he came here, this was the first time they met each other.

"The old ancestor already knew about it, and the elder also nodded. Brother Lian came over to write, and this matter is settled." Jia Zheng was so angry that he wanted to ask Jia Lian when he went to meet Sheng Sheng. Hearing what was said about him today, he was ashamed to speak in front of everyone.

"Hurry up..." Jia Amnesty asked Jia Lian to sign while trembling. It would be a great thing for him to separate Jia Zheng's house and not want anything.

"How can this be possible?" Jia Lian declined.

If you are a whore, you have to set up a memorial archway!Jia Zheng suppressed his impatience, and tried to persuade Jia Lian again and again: "I am willing to do so, old lady, I have already said that. If Brother Lian refuses, will he not let down the sincerity of my second uncle?"

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen repeatedly said yes.

With a pale face, Jia Zhu persuaded Jia Lian politely: "Lian'er will soon accept the master." Although I don't know why Jia Zheng wants to separate the family as soon as he enters the house, and he refuses to ask for a cent from the Rongguo Mansion, but since It was what Jia Zheng meant after careful consideration, and he had to obey.

Under the persuasion of Jia's family, Jia Lian reluctantly nodded and signed, worshiped his ancestors again, and then supported Jia She back to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia's mother amidst the compliments of everyone.

Jia Zheng leaned on Jia Zhu and followed closely behind in a daze. When he glanced at Jia Lian's background several times, he couldn't help thinking timidly that such a master who had exhausted all his tricks, how could he be willing to give up his official position to Jia Zhu?

Jia Zhu also saw that Jia Zheng often went to see Jia Lian, but he was confused but did not dare to ask.

He went out of Ningguo Mansion again in a sedan chair, and within a short distance of walking, he saw the three animal-head gates of Rongguo Mansion open, and dozens of people stood on the side from inside to outside to welcome Jia Lian back to the mansion.

After getting off the sedan chair, it was still Jia Lian who supported Jia Amnesty in the front, and Jia Zhu supported Jia Zheng in the back to go to Jia's mother's courtyard.

After passing through a hanging flower door, through a hallway, along the veranda and around three small halls, I arrived in front of the five upper rooms of Jiamu's courtyard. Except for the mandarin ducks, all the maids in Jiamu's room went out and followed the crowd. The daughter-in-law stood in front of the door with her hands down and waited.

When they arrived at the door, Jia Zhu went to open the curtain. Jia Lian helped Jia Amnesty to go in. Walking around a screen, he saw Jia's mother, with gray hair at the temples and full of blessings, sitting upright in an ivory diamond-colored satin with a pair of breasts and a light blue skirt. On a mother-of-pearl couch carved with passionflowers.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and swollen beside Jia Mu, and she glanced at her side from time to time with a half-smile; beside her was a young woman with a combed head and a duck-ball face. Although the young woman was wearing a new pink dress, her face was bitter, obviously It's the wedding day that doesn't go well.

A mandarin duck with a bee waist and shoulders and a duck egg face, wearing a crab shell green silk jacket pinching the waist and a white vest with a fish belly, personally took a futon with a blessing pattern and placed it in front of Jia Lian.

Jia Lian knelt on the futon and respectfully kowtowed to Jia Mu three times.

"Get up quickly. It's not easy for our ancestors to create such a family business. In the future, we must manage the family business well, so that we are not ashamed of our ancestors." Jia's mother smiled kindly, and it didn't seem like Jia Zheng would split up immediately. It's going to look like Jia Lian.

"Old ancestor, these are things bestowed by saints." Jia Lian got up, and glanced lightly, and saw Yuan Chun leading Yingchun, and Jia Baoyu standing aside. If you don't post it, it looks much more dignified than the anxious Yingchun, "Big sister, come and show it to the ancestors."

"Hey." Yingchun hesitated for a while and walked out from Yuanchun's side, and saw a group of maids holding trays covered with soft silk, on which were some useful things, including makeup satin, python satin, and imported crystal cups , Liuli Zhong, picked a jade wishful from the hands of the parrot and others, and showed it to Jiamu.

Because of the word "big sister", Yuan Chun was a little distracted, Jia Baoyu was only curious, and Mrs. Wang was in a trance, as if in a dream.

After all, Jia Mu is an old man who has experienced many battles. Although she felt wronged for her beloved granddaughter Yuan Chun because of the phrase "big sister", she didn't show it. After looking at the other rewards one by one, he hurriedly said: "Set up an incense table and enshrine it in Rongxi Hall." Pointing to the young woman, he said: "This is your sister-in-law who came in in November."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Jia Lian bowed, wondering why Jia Zhu got married in such a hurry when Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were not here.

"Hello, Second Uncle." Li Wan blessed his body.

"Okay, the second child is suffering too, go back and have dinner with your father." Mother Jia smiled before Li Wan stood up.

Li Wan stood up resentfully, this was not the first time Mother Jia had deliberately turned her down.

Jia Zhu couldn't bear it, and looked at Li Wan reassuringly.

Seeing this, Jia Lian felt more and more that there was a twists and turns in Jia Zhu's marriage, "Old lady, except for the ones enshrined in front of the incense table, the rest of the grandchildren dare not take them home. Please keep the old lady for fun."

Jia's mother refused again and again, seeing Jia Lian's "filial piety", she kept a little difference, and asked Jia Amnesty to take everything else.

Jia Lian said again: "The grandson asked the sage, and after a lot of difficulty, he asked the sage to promise to intervene in the case of his uncle's attempted murder of his brother after the Lantern Festival."

"...good boy." Jia's mother was frightened when she heard the word "kill brother", she still looked at Jia Lian amiably, and suddenly said: "Lai Da hasn't come back yet, we can't do without the chief manager at home. Which one did Brother Lian fall in love with as the big manager?"

Jia Lian frowned and said, "My grandson just came back, and I haven't thought about it yet. Then Lai Da really won't come back?"

When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng went to the ancestral hall to wait for Jia Lian to come back to divide the family, Jia Mu had already met Pearl and Lin Zhixiao's family. Because what they said was exactly the same as what Jincai and his wife said, she just wanted to be someone else. She is the most loyal, and she bought it from outside, and has nothing to do with the second bedroom. Life and death are in her hands, and she will never lie to her, so she has already decided in her heart that Mrs. Wang is attending to Jia Xie's funeral. At that time, she didn't know what she kept in Jia's old house, so she glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "I have someone to choose."

"The old ancestor's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he must be a good person. It's just that the grandson has already agreed to the nanny Zhao San, and the grandson's nanny Zhao San is honest and honest, and he will plan..."

Jiamu chuckled, shook her head and said, "Do you think someone who knows how to plan can become the chief manager? Our house is not as clean as a small family. The chief manager must be smart. I like it." , it’s not someone else, it’s Yuanyang’s Laozi Jincai, who has been Lai Da’s chief manager for several months.”

The mandarin ducks smiled, this was a happy event for their family.

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Old lady, my nanny Zhao San..." Seeing Jia She's coughing, she quickly stopped talking and patted Jia She's chest.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng also hurriedly said: "Mother, Jincai is definitely not good! He is..." In front of Jia Lian and Jia She, it is impossible to say that Jin Cai conspired with Jia Lian and Jia She to frame them. , the seemingly harmonious scene in front of me will disappear, and it will return to the time when the two houses are arguing-there will still be disputes at this time, and they will break up with the big house. Even if there is a contract, Jia Lian will not give up. The official position was given to Jia Zhu.

Although Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng were angry, the husband and wife looked at each other and could only persuade each other to be patient.

Seeing this scene, Jia's mother became more and more suspicious of him, and said, "That's it." So she asked Jincai and his wife to kowtow to Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.

Jia Lian lowered her head helplessly.

Jia Amnesty only cared about coughing, and felt that Jin Cai belonged to them, so he was too lazy to take care of it.

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief. After more than a year, she finally met a satisfactory thing. Because of this, she felt that Jia Lian's entry into the capital was like a grandson flying into her palm, called Jia Zheng, Jia Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, Li Wan, Yuan Chun, Ying Chun, etc. all went out, and asked Yuanyang to guard the door, leaving only Mrs. Wang to ask: "What's the matter? Why did the second master want to separate?" See how thin Mrs. Wang is. Thin, with high cheekbones, and no longer the kind-hearted look of the past, I just feel that this is the so-called appearance from the heart.

Mrs. Wang immediately knelt down and fell in front of Jia's mother. She talked about the fact that Jia Zheng drove Jia Lian out of the old house in a moment of anger, and that Jia Amnesty suddenly came back from the dead. When she came out, she remembered Jincai, and repeatedly mentioned the collusion between Jincai and Jia Lian.

"I knew that the second child had something to hide, so I let him separate the family. It's just that he is willing to give the official position to Zhu'er. Zhu'er is careful, and he must not let him know that his official position was obtained by dividing the family. Otherwise, he won't be able to live this year with peace of mind." Without Jia She and his son, Jia's mother was old and healthy, but seeing Mrs. Wang so anxious for Jincai's family to die, she felt more and more weird.

"Yes." Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, still knelt on the footsteps in front of Jia Mu's bed, straightened her body and smiled reluctantly: "Don't worry, old lady, we won't be unable to open the pot." She also thought that Jia Mu must have something in her hand. There are millions of people, as long as Jia Mu supports them one or two times, they can live well without Jia Lian and Jia Amnesty.

After hearing this in Jia Mu's ears, Jia Mu couldn't help but suspect that she had taken her things to have the confidence to say this, so she asked Mrs. Wang in a cold voice: "Let me ask you, where are my things?"

"What?" Mrs. Wang was at a loss.

Jia Mu sneered and said, "Are you still pretending not to know? I asked you behind my back because of my second child. You'd better hand over my things, otherwise..." She sneered twice and waited. Let's see how long Mrs. Wang can keep her mouth shut.

Although Jiamu's things hidden in Jinling were valuable, she did not dare to take them out rashly because of their preciousness. After all, the origin of the things was unclear; now she dared not take them out openly, lest someone would say that she stole the Jia family's things .So when asking questions, I can't help being secretive.

Mrs. Wang stared blankly at Mother Jia, not knowing what she meant, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law really doesn't know what the old lady wants."

"I don't know? Do you have to call Jincai and his wife before you admit it? If that's the case, don't blame me for not saving face for you."

Mrs. Wang had a bad reputation because of being implicated by Jia Mu, and she was full of resentment. Now seeing Jia Mu begging for things indiscriminately, she became angry and annoyed in her heart. , this must be golden color again..."

"Their family has been with me for so many years, and they couldn't be more loyal to me. How could they lie to me?" Jiamu sneered, Jincai's family was all that mattered, could it be that the young Pearl was also lying to her?As a mother-in-law, although she often tells people that Mrs. Wang is honest, she feels that she is a fool on the outside and tricky on the inside. Seeing her pretending to be stupid, she becomes more and more impatient, thinking that there will always be a day when Mrs. Wang begs her, so Hearing that the mandarin ducks outside said that Baoyu came to look for her, he intentionally pretended to distance himself from Baoyu in front of Mrs. Wang, and said indifferently: "I'm tired, I'm gone."

Baoyu, who is like a heart and a heart, was also shunned by Jiamu. Madam Wang felt disheartened and thought about it in a disorderly manner. .

The author has something to say: A gentleman cuts off friendship without making any bad noises.Although the Jia family is not a gentleman, but in front of people, they are still a harmonious and loving family.
