Mrs. Wang heard that the corpse belonged to Lai Da, she just woke up and passed away immediately.A group of maids and women smeared safflower oil, pinched people, snuffed snuff bottles, and finally rescued her. The whole person was stunned, and their eyes were in a daze. He stared straight ahead and wouldn't turn.

Not long after, Mammy Lai's mournful cry suddenly sounded outside, which made her tremble, fully awake, pinching Jin Chuan's arm and screaming, "It's Jia Huan! It's Jia Huan, that bastard! He beat me to death and then sent him to my room. He wanted to scare me to death! Hmph! I didn’t frighten me too much! He, a little bastard, dared to fight with me, he was so tired! Come on, help me Change clothes! I’m going to the old lady’s place! Then send someone to the yamen to call the master back, hurry up!”

Girls and women hurriedly changed her clothes, and some people hurried to find Jia Zheng.

Because Mrs. Wang was very emotional, she unconsciously raised her voice. Nanny Lai, who was crying with her son's body outside, heard it clearly. She asked her daughter-in-law to bury her son's body properly, and staggered to the main courtyard by herself.

As soon as she thought that she had opened the box with her own hands, Mrs. Wang felt weak in her hands and feet, and her heart trembled. She lay straight on the bed and let the maids play with her. With the support of the two women, he came to the main courtyard step by step.

The courtyard was already full of people, because this incident was too sensational, all the juniors were driven away by Jia's mother, leaving only Jia Lian, Jia She and his wife, and Li Wan to accompany them.Nanny Lai knelt in the hall and kowtowed, her forehead was already red and swollen.

When Mrs. Wang came in, Nanny Lai was finishing her tenth beep, crying, "I beg the old lady to be the master of this servant. The servant gave up his life for the Duke of the country. The servant was a widow at a young age. This is the only thing I have to do for the rest of my life." A posthumous child, with a lot of feces and piss, managed to grow up, and worked for the Jia family for half his life. He never expected to get such a result. Now that I am sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person, what else is there to do? Head? If I knew this, I should have gone with my mouth with the child back then, and I would have been clean..."

Lai Da's father went there to save Duke Rong, and before he died, the Duke left a message telling him to treat Madam Lai's family kindly.Thinking of the past, Jia Mu deeply felt that she was sorry for her deceased husband's entrustment, and also for her loyal old friend. She felt sad at one moment, and at the other was frightened and angry. The wooden beads crackled and rolled all over the ground.

Wang Xifeng and the others had already cried to the point of tears, they couldn't help supporting Nanny Lai, and comforted them with kind voices.

A buddhist bead jumped onto Mrs. Wang's instep. Seeing that the fire was coming, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said sadly, "Mother Lai should blame me if she wanted to blame me. If I hadn't suggested that Lai Da go pick it up Brother Huan, I won't cause such a thing. After all, I'm his aunt, and it's my fault that I didn't discipline him!"

"No, no, no," Nanny Lai stood up, sat on the low stool brought by Wang Xifeng herself, sobbing, "Brother Huan has been away for five years, and he has never been raised by his wife, how can he blame his wife? I think he was crazy back then, he would beat anyone who was not pleasing to his eyes, but now instead of making progress, he has gotten worse... This is unexpected by anyone, I don’t blame anyone, I only blame my son’s life, I I admit it." After the words, he began to cry again.

Mother Jia slowly recovered from the shock, anger and grief. Hearing these words, she slammed the teacup in her hand and scolded, "How can you not complain? You should complain! My descendants of the Jia family are not such ungrateful people. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter! Come on, go to Jinling immediately and bring Brother Huan back!"

"Dare to ask what mother wants to do with Huan'er? He still has a hospital exam right now, why don't you pick him up after the exam and ask him why. He is only in his early ten years old this year, how can he have such courage?" Jia Zheng said three Son, one died young, the other was an idiot, only such a one saw his future, so naturally he couldn't bear to punish him, after hearing the boy's report, he hurried back to dissuade him.

Mother Jia snorted coldly, "He doesn't have the guts, who has it? You'll know when he comes back from custody! If anyone dares to intercede for him today, I'll beat him out immediately!"

"Mother, it's so hard for Huan'er to get a name in the exam..." Jia Zheng still didn't give up.He has no relationship with Nanny Lai, and Lai Da is just a servant in his heart, if he dies, he dies, it's no big deal.Seeing that the old lady had the stance of asking Huan'er to take her life, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Fame? He is worthy of fame just because of his virtue? You don't want to talk too much. If you make me anxious, you will expose the scandal of this family, and hand over the booklet to the emperor so that he can get rid of the fame of that unworthy descendant! The benefactor's son will kill if he wants to, how can he know that he will not kill his brother and father in the future? My Jia family can't afford to support such a cold-blooded and cruel person, and I dare not! Bring back the evil species!" After saying that, Mother Jia smashed another cup.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to shut up resentfully.

Mrs. Wang glanced at him, pretending to wipe her tears with her head down, but there was a vicious smile on the corner of her mouth.After returning to Jia's mansion, even if that evil species has three heads and six arms, don't even think about going back alive!Five years, it should be enough!

Thinking of riding, eating and sleeping with the demon star along the way, Jia Lian's calf cramped up and down.But the old lady was so angry that he didn't dare to shirk, so he hurriedly stood up and took orders.

Seeing that Jia Huan couldn't please her, Mammy Lai stopped crying and knelt down to kowtow to Jia Mu.

Jia Lian went back to his room to pack his luggage, his face pale.Wang Xifeng was also very worried, so she opened the dowry, took out a black pill from the hidden compartment, and said in a low voice, "You should take this medicine with you for self-defense. After taking it, it can make people weak and sleepy."

Jia Lian was overjoyed, quickly picked it up and carefully put it in his purse, put his arms around Wang Xifeng and took a sip, and said with a smile, "At the critical moment, I really have to rely on my good second grandma!"

Wang Xifeng smiled triumphantly, poked his forehead and said, "It's easy to get rid of it, just pour cold water on it and wake up. That bastard is really good at committing crimes, I'm afraid he won't survive this trip, don't be polite to him, when you arrive in Jinling Force the medicine down and bring it back straight away, don't delay!"

"My good second grandma, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'll go there straight away and come back clean!" Jia Lian swore a lot, making Wang Xifeng giggle.

In the courtyard of Tanchun, the servant came back from the outside in a panic, opened the door curtain and whispered in the master's ear.

After a while, Tanchun leaned weakly on the kang, and said with a miserable smile, "Okay, okay, it's great that you can cause such a shocking event after being assigned to Zhuangzi! God is so unfair, let me do it. In this world, why don't you ask me to entrust me to a good family, and to be with such a stupid aunt and brother? This time, the wife and the old lady must be very angry. I only hope that she will take care of me for the sake of my gentleness and filial piety. Don't take your anger out on me."

The servant comforted softly, "Madam and old lady are the most discerning rewards and punishments. How could you anger Miss for no reason? Besides, Miss grew up with the old lady since she was a child, brother Huan is incomparable."

"That's what you said. Fortunately, I drew a clear line with them early on. Otherwise, I would have to pay their debts for them? Lai Madam's debt is not so easy to pay." Tanchun bowed his head and pondered for a moment , wryly smiled and said, "Go, take out all the banknotes in my dowry, I will go to the old lady to apologize, and then I will go to see Nanny Lai. They don't care about my life, I have to plan it myself, I only hope they can get it this time." This is a profound lesson, whether you live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with me, I have had enough!"

The servant promised, took out all the bank notes in the dowry, counted them, and put them away in a delicate purse.Tanchun deliberately changed into plain clothes and took off the beaded hairpins on his head, and then he took a group of girls and women to the main courtyard.

When the incident broke out, Jia Yuanchun happened to send a companion to ask Mrs. Wang for money, and he covered the matter from beginning to end.Mrs. Wang was also stubborn, and supported her sick body to raise 5 taels of silver bills, and asked the companion to deliver them to the side concubine as soon as possible, so as not to delay the empress's business.

"What happened? You saw with your own eyes that Lai Da was beaten in two, not even a whole body?" Jia Yuanchun gasped after hearing the news.

"Isn't that right? The waist and abdomen have been beaten to pieces, leaving only a few traces of skin and flesh. The outside is coated with tung oil and lime powder. It has been transported all the way from Jinling to the capital without any peculiar smell. The box for the corpse is made of gloomy wood. Well, it looks extremely valuable, my wife was unprepared, and opened the box herself..." The companion narrated with a look of horror.

"Don't, don't, don't say it! I'm going to throw up!" Jia Yuanchun quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

The third prince was waiting for this box to enter the capital, and he came to Jia Yuanchun as soon as he got the news, without anyone notifying him, he entered the door silently, and asked, "What box? What corpse?"

"My concubine has met the prince, no, there is no box, but I just made up some market legends to amuse myself." Jia Yuanchun was terrified, and quickly denied it.Anyway, this is also a family scandal in Jia's house, the prince must not listen to it, otherwise, what will the prince think of her?

No one knows this matter better than the third prince, so he didn't ask any further questions. After sitting down, he took a sip from his teacup and asked tentatively, "How many brothers are there in the side concubine's family?"

Jia Yuanchun quickly put away the horror in his eyes, and smiled softly, "There is only one brother in the family. I brought him up with my own hands since he was a child. His name is Baoyu. He is fifteen now, and he is quite naughty."

"Oh? I seem to have heard you mention that you have another brother before?" The corner of the third prince's mouth was still smiling, but his eyes turned cold.

Jia Yuanchun felt a little blocked, disgusted, and terrified. When he spoke again, his tone was very stiff, "Yes, there is another brother who was sent back to his hometown with a serious illness five years ago. If the prince didn't say anything, I almost didn't remember it. .”

"What's his temperament?" The third prince was playing with the teacup in his hand, as if thinking of something funny, the corners of his mouth turned up quickly.

Because he lowered his head, Jia Yuanchun couldn't see him, so he just continued, "I'm not afraid of the prince's jokes when I say it. My concubine brother has a very surly temper, and there are always big and small disasters. Since he was a child, his mother has been worried. Even if I read the Buddhist scriptures, I'm already ten feet tall, but I still can't get it right."

The third prince raised his eyebrows, "Since he always gets into trouble, we should let him read more sage books to understand the truth. What's the use of copying Buddhist scriptures anyway? Such a young child, I'm afraid he can't even read Sanskrit and Zen words, right? "

Jia Yuanchun couldn't hear the coldness from his words, and said with a smile, "What the lord said is true. Mother is planning to take him back to the mansion for training. He is so old and still doesn't understand the truth. I feel extremely ashamed when I say it. "Then his eyes lit up slightly, and he waved at Baoqin, "However, my concubine's younger brother, who is a concubine, is different. Although he doesn't like to read, he is quite talented. , Attracted a lot of literati and scholars to come to ask for it. I am collecting a few articles here, and you are so talented and elegant, my lord, give my brother your eyes."

Seeing her blindly belittling Huan'er and promoting Jia Baoyu, and hearing that Mrs. Wang wanted to take Huan'er back to Beijing, the Third Prince suppressed his anger and took some poems from Baoqin, squinting. eye inspection.

The standard hairpin flower lowercase script looks very beautiful, but it has no strength of character. Although the writing is smooth, it recites the misty love of spring, flowers, snow and moon. At first glance, I thought it was written by a girl in a boudoir. Grace and masculinity.

The third prince hated this kind of boy who was neither male nor female the most in his life, and he couldn't understand the raging style of the son of the aristocratic family. He crumpled up the poem manuscript and threw it away, then shook his sleeves and left.

A few maids came in with dinner, and when they bumped into the frost-faced prince, they hurriedly stepped aside and bowed to see him off.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with your lord? Are these poems not well written?" Baoqin picked up the manuscript and asked cautiously.

"I don't know either. It shouldn't be a problem with the poems. Baoyu's poems are naturally excellent, and I have read them repeatedly, and there is no taboo involved. You ask people to inquire and see what's wrong with the prince recently. .” Jia Yuanchun shook his head and smiled wryly.She was originally a female historian next to the empress, but was taken back by the prince.The princess is jealous, but because she is Jia Gong's empress, she can't be dealt with casually, so she has an idea and puts her in the hands of King Jin.

King Jinjun is proud and arrogant, so he naturally doesn't like being manipulated at will.That's why she took every step after entering the mansion with trepidation, for fear of offending the prince.Right now, the princess concubine has just passed away, and the remaining two side concubines have similar family backgrounds, and anyone can go further.So she can't make the slightest mistake.

Holding the piano and nodding, he flattened several poem drafts and sandwiched them in a thick book before going out to do errands.

In Jinling, after Jia Huan’s exams, he took [-]% of the silver taels from Lai Dafa’s sale of land offerings to set up Zhuangzi and shops, hung them under a few household registrations collected from bandits, asked Lao Litou to help take care of them, and distributed dividends according to the profits at the end of the year , He also said that he would take Li Dafu away and manage the shops in Beijing, and he was so happy that Li Dafu couldn't see his teeth.

Aunt Zhao wiped out the ledger overnight, and planned to 'dedicate' it to the old lady when she went back.

Once all the trivial matters were settled, Jia Huan took Aunt Zhao, Xiao Jixiang, Nanny Song, Li Dafu, and the mute brothers and sisters on their way back to Beijing.Because they were walking by land and by water at the same time, the two parties happened to miss them on the way. When Jia Lian arrived in Jinling, Jia Huan raised his hand and knocked on the gate of Jia's mansion expectantly.

The Third Prince had received a letter from Huan'er, knowing his exact date of return, so he went to the palace early in the morning to request an order, and packed the 5 taels of gold in an inconspicuous purse, and Shi Shiran came towards Rongning Street.
