Jialan: Crossing the Red Chamber

Foreign officials, forcing someone to die is a capital crime. Brother Zhen and Rong'er may not survive if they bury their lives privately. The second master Lian is about to be exiled. "

Mother Jia sighed, "How much money do you have at home?"

Wang Xifeng said: "The family property has been confiscated for more than ten years, only some rented land can be exchanged for some money."

Jia Zheng spit: "So what if it's changed. If something like this hurts our face, which official would dare to visit our family now? I'm afraid I won't be able to hide."

Jia's mother said: "This time, the Jia family may be doomed."

When Wang Xifeng heard it, the crying became more intense.

Jia Lan frowned, turned and left.

It is nearly the end of the new year, and the Grand View Garden, which was decorated with lanterns and festoons in previous years, is all hung with white flags this year, and it looks very bleak from a distance.Jia Lan walked slowly on the road, looking at the dilapidated landscape, feeling more and more heavy.

After the seven-day vigil was over, Jia Lan carried the coffin into the Tiekan Temple for the funeral, and saw the undertaker off in just one mile, which was not as good as any previous funeral at Jia's family.But this is an extraordinary period, and Jia Lan didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he only invited a band, followed by dozens of servant girls.

After leaving the city, there was a sudden shout from behind, and Jia Lan turned his head.In the blink of an eye, a fast horse was in front of him.It's Li Li.

Jia Lan glanced at his armor and said, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Li Li jumped off the horse and said, "We have to go first, you have passed the filial piety period, remember to go to Suiyuan to report."

Jia Lan asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that we will leave in February?"

Li Li stared at him wide-eyed and raised his voice: "Don't you know? General Qin was killed, and now there is no one on the border. The Holy One has appointed General Guo Meng as the commander of the Suiyuan Army. My eldest brother and I will go to fight immediately. "

Jia Lan said in a daze, "No one told me."

Li Lidao: "Xu Shisheng knows that you are in the filial piety period, so you can't leave without authorization."

Jia Lan thought that this might not be the case, and said with a forced smile, "Then you should leave quickly, don't be too late and be scolded by your elder brother again."

Li Li reluctantly said to Jia Lan, "I'll wait for you on the battlefield."

Jia Lan nodded, watching Li Li pat on the horse and leave, her heart sank to the lowest point.

The Holy One is not showing consideration for him in his filial piety, but deliberately alienating him.Because of the Jia family.Jalan's fists were clenched tightly.

Is there really no way out for the Jia Mansion?

Put the wooden coffin into the yin house of Tiekan Temple, light the incense, and order people to watch it.Jia Lan pulled out a fast horse and galloped towards the imperial palace in the capital.

When we arrived at the palace, it was halfway through the first watch.Holding the official badge in his hand, Jia Lan said to the guard, "Jia Lan, the defender of Yuncheng on the third road of the Suiyuan Army, asks to meet with the Holy Majesty."

Asking for instructions came to the palace, and it was not until after the second watch that there was a reply: "Xuan Jialan has an audience."

At midnight, Shui Rong suddenly woke up.

He touched his forehead, and it was covered with cold sweat. His heart moved, and he called out Ding Chou and asked, "Is something going to happen tonight?"

Ding Chou was silent for a moment, then replied: "At the second watch, Young Master Lan asked to meet the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty announced the meeting."

Shui Rong's face turned pale, "What did you say?"

"The lower official has nothing but courage. But based on this alone, the lower official believes that no one in the celestial dynasty can get around. As long as the Holy Majesty gives the lower official ten years, the lower official promises to pacify the Northwest."

The leak in the corner of the wall resounded clearly, and the emperor looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, but his shoulders were straight, and suddenly he was in a daze, as if he saw another figure in him.It took him a long time to ask: "Conditions?"

"The Jia family will not be allowed to enter the court for generations, and all the existing family properties are willing to be donated to fill the national treasury. I only ask the Holy One to let the Jia family survive."

Wow, a bunch of memorials were thrown in front of Jia Lan.Jia Lan took a rough look, and they all bombarded Jia's mansion.He calmly said: "Jia's family started with military exploits, and our ancestors made great contributions to the heavenly dynasty. If the royal family cuts the weeds, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of some old generals. Now that the frontier is unstable, please think twice."

The emperor sneered: "Are you threatening me?"

Jia Lan kowtowed and said, "I dare not."

"The Jia family is inextricably linked in the court. If you come back from the Northwest and pay homage to the first-class general, wouldn't you become another Jia family?" the emperor asked coldly.

Jia Lan said neither humble nor overbearing: "At that time, if the Heavenly Dynasty still needs the subordinate officials to serve, the subordinate officials will be at their disposal. If not, the subordinate officials will swear that they will not return to the capital in this life and will not associate with the party."

"Okay, remember what you said. I agree."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

"Ten years? Never return to the capital? You have done so much for the Jia family, so where do you put this king, Lan'er?" Shui Rong gritted his teeth, "What else did you say?" Shui Rong asked.

"Have you ever thought about what Rong'er would do if you died on the battlefield?" The emperor suddenly asked faintly.

Jia Lan smirked, "The lower official dares to ask the emperor a question. A couple of lovers suddenly encountered an accident one day, and one of them died. Does the emperor think that the pain of the one who died first, or the pain of the living?"

"A living person." The emperor blurted out, and then he was taken aback, with a sad and old look on his face.

Jia Lan was taken aback by such a quick answer, but he quickly realized, "This time the prince was assassinated, and I made up my mind. If he can't wake up, I must go down to accompany him. I think, If one day the official dies, the prince will definitely not be allowed to stay in this world to suffer."

The emperor fell down on the wide chair, disheartened for a moment, and said to himself: "It's so, it's so. Yi, I'm not as thorough as a child. It's just that after so many years, can you wait for me? ?”

Jia Lan knelt on the ground, and was slightly taken aback when he heard the emperor muttering a name to himself.easy?Water easy?Isn't that the water-soluble father?Why would the emperor mention him?Or is it such a painful and lingering taste?

Without waiting for him to think too much, the emperor ordered him to step down and said that he would receive the order tomorrow.

In the Beijing Palace, under the flickering lights and candles, the Prince of Beijing smiled contentedly: "Sure enough, he knows me best in the world." He turned his head to Ding Chou and said, "Pack up your luggage, and leave for Saibei as soon as the king recovers from his illness."

Ding Chou raised his head and said in surprise, "My lord."

Shui Rong raised his hand to interrupt Ding Chou: "I don't want to participate in this matter of the capital anymore. From today onwards, the gate of the mansion will be closed and no contact will be made. Ding Hai and Jiazi will stay in the capital to manage all secret affairs. Ding You and Jiashen will guard Jiangnan separately." , Jiangbei, and all other hidden guards go to Saibei with the king."

Four hidden guards appeared together, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Yes."

In the middle of the night, Jia Lan convened all the masters and sub-chambers of Jia's house in Jia's mother's courtyard.The seats from top to bottom are: Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Youshi, Xue Baochai, and Xichun.

He explained all the conditions, requirements, and results that he had discussed with the Holy Majesty, and then asked, "What's your opinion?"

Mrs. Xing cried: "I don't have any opinions, as long as the master can come back alive." You Shi and Wang Xifeng also nodded.

Jia Zheng let out a long sigh, "It's not too much to lose your wealth and preserve your reputation. Follow Laner."

Jia Mu said tiredly: "It doesn't matter if you don't enter the court or become an official from generation to generation."

Xue Baochai said: "Then Laner, you will suffer at the border."

Jia Lan shook his head and said, "No problem. As long as everyone is fine."

Jia Zheng said sadly again: "Lan'er can't return to Beijing, Lian'er and his wife can no longer manage family affairs, and I don't care about common affairs. The family property is exhausted, how can we maintain it?"

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room stopped talking.

While worrying, a little maid came in and said, "Old lady, master, madam, the nurse just came to report that a stranger came to the door and said he wanted to see the master."

Jia Zheng said: "At this time, who else is visiting our house? What kind of person is it?"

The little servant girl said: "The door said that the dress is rich and noble, and the conversation is polite, it should be a person."

Jia Lan asked, "Have you reported your name?"

The little maid said: "The name sounds like a member of the same family, but the man said his surname is Jia Minghuan."

"Third Uncle?" Jia Lan screamed, jumped up and rushed out the door.

Several people in the room were shocked when they heard the name.

Why did the third young master who was expelled from the family tree come back?Still in such a sensitive period?And I heard that they are doing well now?

The author has something to say: The third master has returned home (≧▽≦)/

59. End, start

Loyalty and filial piety will inevitably lead to fame

When Jia Lan rushed to the door, he saw two figures standing beside the stone lion.One of the short boys was wearing a fox fur cloak, his jade face was hidden among the fluffy white fur, very cute.He pursed his lips slightly, as if he was complaining about something.The tall man put his arms around his shoulders and said something in his ear, which made the young man sweep away his dissatisfaction and burst out laughing.

Jia Lan couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and called out, "Third Uncle."

The boy turned his head abruptly, his eyes lit up when he saw him, he grabbed the hem of his cloak and ran over, laughing as he ran, "Lan'er." The man behind repeatedly ordered: "Be careful of falling."

The boy didn't care, ran up to Jia Lan, tilted his head to look up and down, then hugged Jia Lan heavily with a grin, "Lan'er, Lan'er, I'm back."

Jia Lan also hugged him tightly: "Just come back."

This boy is naturally Jia Huan who has been away from home for many years, and that man must be Qi Yi who has been by his side all the time.

Early the next morning, the imperial decree arrived.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Jia pardoned foreign officials, used guns to bully the weak, and failed the holy grace. Jia Zhen was a hereditary employee who buried her life privately. , Thinking of him as a descendant of a hero, he couldn't bear to add more crimes, so he was dismissed from his post and sent to the sea to serve as atonement. The family property and private slaves will be taken away by the government."

"Jia Rongnian was young and imprisoned for one year. Jia Lian exploited profiteeringly and forged documents privately. Because he had not verified the authenticity of the borrowed securities, he was temporarily dismissed and put in prison to wait for his release. Jia Zheng was in an important position and did not manage the family strictly. Served outside for many years, dismissed with leniency
