[Red House] That natural stay

People in the imperial court were dismissed one after another, and the rest were even more in danger, like a frightened bird.Every morning is like going to the execution ground, fearing that there will be no return, so some officials even made a will early and confessed to their wives and children.Of course, those who do this are those with guilty consciences and unclean fortunes, who may have received benefits from the four major families.

I was looking forward to counting every day, and finally after killing the chickens and monkeys with the Wang family, the second one had already arrived at Xue's house.Most of Xue's family are in business, but for the sake of convenience, a few talented people from the clan were selected and sent to the court.So in the summer, the evidence that they used their power to benefit the Xue family, or the evidence that they used their power to suppress their opponents, was severely thrown on the court.Everyone understood that the Xue family was probably doomed.The second of the four major families was used for surgery. Although the consequences were not as serious as those committed by the Wang family, they were definitely not light.

Speaking of the Wang family, as long as they are officials in the court, they are all imprisoned, waiting to be executed in the autumn.The women were sold as slaves, and even the married daughters of the Wang family were rejected or abandoned by their husbands.For fear of being implicated.Its tragedy has been lamented among the common people for a long time.

"Sister, what should I do, sister? You must save me!" Aunt Xue ran into Wang's yard crying, followed by Xue Baochai with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Wang frowned, and pulled Aunt Xue in, and the two sat on the kang.

Aunt Xue was indeed unable to talk to herself for a while, and was out of breath from crying.Helpless, Wang had no choice but to turn around and ask Xue Baochai who came in later.

"What happened to Baochai?"

Xue Baochai wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, calmed down a bit, and then said calmly:

"My cousin, who just became an official in the court, sent someone to send news that the emperor was furious and wanted to investigate the Xue family. Mother thought of what happened to the Wang family not long ago, so she wept so sadly."

Both Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang are daughters of the Wang family, so they naturally paid special attention to the news of their natal family.After something like that happened, I felt bad.The fall of the Wang family meant that their mother's family fell, and their status in the mansion would certainly be affected.But they have been married for many years, and their children are not young.Therefore, apart from listening to a few sarcastic remarks, there will be nothing else.

For example, in the past few days, she and her niece Wang Xifeng dare not show their faces in front of the old matriarch, for fear of being reprimanded.

It's just that the Xue family may be doomed now.This has to make Wang think that the next one will be the Jia family?There was a sudden panic in my heart, and I didn't care to comfort Aunt Xue in front of me.After a few perfunctory words, he hurried to Jia Zheng's study.She wanted to seek peace of mind.

Seeing Wang's figure leaving in a hurry, Xue Baochai sat next to Aunt Xie, hugged her shoulders, and said sadly, "Mother, is our Xue family really over?"

"Baochai, my poor daughter!" Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue turned around and hugged Xue Baochai.The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, crying about this tragic fate and the injustice of this world.

"Master, are you there?" Wang carefully knocked on the door outside the study.Now he has already gone to court, but Jia Zheng is nowhere to be seen, so he is only in the study.

"Come in!" A deep male voice came from inside.

Wang pushed open the door and walked in.

In the dimly lit study room, only a figure was vaguely seen standing by the table.He was looking down at something.

"Master, don't be too tired. Take care of yourself." Mrs. Wang walked lightly to the table, trying to persuade Jia Zheng to sit down and rest.But when he glanced down, he saw clearly what was on the table.My heart skipped a beat, then sank.

There is a painting on the table. In the painting, a gentle and beautiful woman is looking up at the flowers on the tree not far away.Everything seemed so peaceful.

"Do you know the woman in the painting?" Jia Zheng asked suddenly.

"No, I don't know. How could I know him? I have never seen the woman in the painting." Wang Shiqiang suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said calmly.

"Really? You really don't know him?" Jia Zheng suddenly raised his head and stared straight into Wang's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Wang smiled stiffly, guessing in her heart, could it be that what happened back then was discovered?But so what, she and the master have been husband and wife for decades.Can't you compare to a vixen?

"Three years ago, you killed their mother and son with your own hands. I don't know how you feel at ease, and you still don't change your face." Jia Zheng's words were full of disgust and disgust.

With such a heavy word, the irritating Wang gasped.Jia Zheng never said such a thing to her, no matter how many concubines she killed him.But now he dug up old accounts to reprimand her.Could it be that seeing that something happened to the Wang family, he didn't take her seriously?

"Master, why do you say such things to slander my concubine?" Tears welled up in her eyes, she felt unspeakably wronged and pitiful.

"Now that things are going on, do you still have to argue?" Jia Zheng said coldly.As if watching a joke, he didn't believe Wang's defense at all.

After crying a few words, Wang saw that Jia Zheng did not soften his attitude in the slightest.Only then stopped the tears.

"That's right, it was indeed my hand." She admitted.Now, she is not afraid of what Jia Zheng will do to her.Just admit it honestly.

"You poisonous woman, you have a heart of snakes and scorpions. No matter how many children I, Jia Zheng, have lost to you!" Jia Zheng raised his hands high in anger, his eyes glaring fiercely.

"Why, you still want to beat me? I don't regret anything for my Baoyu. These years, if I didn't handle it for you, and my natal family covered it up for you, you don't know how many times you have been impeached. Now seeing the Wang family fall You want to cross the river and tear down the bridge to get rid of the blame? Don't think about it!" Wang screamed.

"You, you..." Jia Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.I originally wanted to ask her about the specific matters of the year, so that I could compare them with some of the things I found.Unexpectedly, it turned into the scene in front of me.

Jia Zheng took a few breaths, and the study was extremely quiet for a while, neither of them spoke.

After calming down for a few minutes, Wang finally realized what he had just said.The Wang family has collapsed, and her only backer is the Jia family.If this offends Jia Zheng, she will be divorced.Then the consequences would be unimaginable. Realizing this, Wang became afraid.

"Master, it's all my fault. I just lost my head in a hurry. I was afraid that the master would dislike me because of this, so I said those stupid things. This is all for our precious jade!" Rourou Rou said with a crying voice, the words were full of begging.

Jia Zheng, who had regained his breath at this time, felt better when he heard this.

"Ma'am, there is a reason for me to ask you about the past!" Jia Zheng also eased his tone and said.

"master?"

"You also know that the emperor has already targeted our four major families. The Wang family, the Xue family, maybe our Jia family will be next. So I have to find a way!" Jia Zheng sighed.

"Master, this is exactly what I want to ask. Just now, my younger sister found me and asked if there is a way to save their Xue family." Mrs. Wang walked behind Jia Zheng and obediently helped him He beat his shoulders.

"Hmph, our Jia family is in trouble, so how can we have time to take care of them!" Jia Zheng sneered, "What's more, it's the emperor's personal order. Who would dare to take the risk at this time? Is the Jia family even more hated by the emperor?"

"Then master, what is the way you said to keep the Jia family?" Wang asked her own question in a timely manner.

Jia Zheng gestured to the painting on the table, but Wang was puzzled.

"Her son survived the catastrophe. After some adventures, he has now become the emperor's 'writer'."

"The emperor's 'writing'?" Wang's movements paused, and she raised her voice and exclaimed.The establishment of this position caused a sensation not only in the court, but also among the people.The Wang family has heard of it.

"That's right, that's him." Jia Zheng nodded.

"This, so the method you said, sir, is..."

"Yes, it is him, and only he can save our Jia family. So, do you know why I questioned you?" Jia Zheng turned to look at Wang behind him.

"Yes, master. The concubine is too dull." Wang bowed her head knowingly and admitted her mistake.

"Just, does he know that he is from the Jia family?"

"It's not difficult. I'll see him tomorrow. He's not young at that time, so he must have memories. It's just that I'm afraid Madam will be wronged during these days." He patted his hand on his shoulder.

"No, I'm not wronged. As long as I can help the master, even if my body is broken, I will never complain."

"Good lady."

After the two made it clear, they confronted each other about what happened back then.Jia Zheng basically believed that Mo Jue was his son back then.Immediately, he let go of a big rock and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he is the Jia family, he will definitely not let the Jia family ignore him.As long as there is the other party's help at that time, he believes that the Jia family will be fine, and I am afraid it will be even better in the future.Thinking of this, he felt a little gloated about what happened to the other three major families.It was as if he had seen the words of his Jia family in the not-too-distant future.

At this moment, Mo Jue had no idea that trouble would come to him soon.Of course, even if he knew, he would not take any action, and he was even very happy to see this situation.

Today, he is tasting the pastries newly made by the royal chef in the palace.And Xia Tian, ​​who was not far away, was writing a memorial while occasionally looking up at him.

"Xiao Jue, how does it taste?" Waiting for the boy to stop what he was doing, he asked with a smile when he got off the ground.

Mo Jue nodded, his cheeks were bulging, looking like a little hamster that ate it secretly.It's so cute, it makes people itch, and I want to pinch it.

"That's good, since you like it. Let the imperial chef go to your mansion later, stay for a while, and then come back to the palace." Xia Tian said with a smile.This is not a joke, before that, several imperial cooks have already gone to Mo Jue's mansion one after another.Only when Mo Jue got tired of their craftsmanship did he return to the palace.This also led to a large number of cooks with excellent craftsmanship looking outside the palace.Many folk masters have emerged.

Mo Jue nodded, indicating that he knew.For the other party's casual appearance, Xia Tian is extremely happy, he just likes his young man, and doesn't regard him as an outsider.Only in this way did he break into his heart step by step.

Thinking of this, Xia Tian smiled, from the heart, a genuinely happy smile.
