Prince of the Red Chamber wins rebirth

When the aunt and sister-in-law left, Yang Jie looked at the back and sighed.

He turned to Yang Mu and said, "Are you busy in the yamen?"

Yang Mu repeated what he heard from Jia Daihua today, and respectfully said: "This is really unbelievable, my son really doesn't know what to do, please show me."

Yang Jie thought for a while, "Since it's the Jia family's business, let the Jia family let you solve it, and don't meddle in it."

Yang Mu had no choice but to respond, and changed the topic and asked: "There is no news about the Northern Expedition Army so far, which is really worrying, and people's hearts are fluctuating in the court." The left lunatic took away the Holy One's direct troops, and they were also the most elite troops in the entire country. .

If there is an event, the power of the Holy One will be greatly reduced, especially at this time, it will only become more turbulent.

Yang Jie shouted: "Don't guess blindly, just do your job well. Madman Zuo is so easy to get along with. Besides, they are just some Tatars. They were frightened by Jia Daishan 20 years ago. , now it’s nothing more than a bluff.”

Yang Mu responded, and said with a smile: "My son is also worrying randomly, but these days there are a lot of snoopers, and my son has been fooled." After a pause, Yang Mu tentatively asked: "I also want to make preparations. in a hurry."

Yang Jie sighed: "There is a secret report from the front, everything is fine, the Tatars are fighting among themselves, the Holy Majesty is also very satisfied, but it will take some time for the teacher to return to Beijing, after all, the Holy Majesty is reluctant to let the lunatic left entangled in it."

Yang Mu is slightly relieved, that is to say, it should be safe. At least the whole army of the Northern Expedition has made meritorious service. Presumably Wang Zisheng will not be too bad. After returning, he will be promoted to a noble, at least he will definitely be promoted. of.

Yang Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about whether to tell Lin Ruhai the news, the three of them just happened to get together.

After having dinner with Yang Jie, Yang Mu returned to his yard, washed up, and rested on the soft couch.

On the second day, feeling a little top-heavy and too lazy to move, he asked the long follower to ask for leave. When the long follower came back, he also brought a shocking news—Ningguo Gong Jia Daihua died suddenly last night.

Yang Mu was just a little uncomfortable at first, but when he heard the news, his hands and feet were cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Yang Mu asked hoarsely, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

Chang Sui said: "The little one went to ask for leave for the eldest young master. On the way, he met people from the Ningguo Mansion with filial piety, so the little one asked a lot. It turned out that his master had gone. I heard that when I found out in the morning, My body is already cold."

Yang Mu didn't hear the rest of Chang Sui's words, but kept thinking about a sentence in his mind, "Jia Daihua is dead".

People who were still alive yesterday drinking and chatting together are already dead bodies today.This made Yang Mu unable to accept it no matter what. All kinds of thoughts flooded in for a while, and he felt his head sinking a little bit.

He waved his hand to let the long follower back down, and ordered the servant girl to send a message, and asked his young servants Zhang Yi and Zhang An to inquire carefully, and asked the whole story clearly, and went to the Zhuangzi of Rongguo Mansion outside the city to see Look at the situation on Jia She's side.

After Yang Mu ordered, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he fell into a drowsy sleep. He slept until noon, and then he felt hungry and woke up.

I just feel thirsty in my mouth, and there is a burning feeling.The servant girl helped Yang Mu up, and said with a smile: "The young master has been asleep for a long time, why not drink some millet porridge to cushion your stomach."

Yang Mu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and snorted weakly.After drinking half a bowl of japonica rice porridge, he felt a little bit of strength just now, so he asked hoarsely, "Has Zhang Yi come back? Ask him to come over after lunch. I want to ask about the situation carefully."

At this moment, Grandma Yun came in, just in time to hear it, and said: "Young master is considerate of the servants, just now the servant sent a bowl of hot soup to brother Zhang Yi. You might as well wait for the young master to send him back after taking the medicine. "

Yang Mu nodded, "That's right, the weather is hard for them." After a pause, "Let the kitchen make some ginger soup, and prepare a portion for the servants to warm up."

Someone answered, and went down to cook.

Nanny Yun stared at Yang Mu after taking the medicine, and then touched his head, feeling that he didn't have a fever, so she called all the maids outside to give instructions, and then went to answer the wife.

As soon as Yang Mu lay down, he slept until the afternoon. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, he felt depressed for a while.

The maid raised her face, "The young master stayed in the house for a whole day, and the white hair outside was shaved all day, it was so cold that people shivered and couldn't stand up."

After waiting for Yang Mu to get up, he set up a table on the kang, and served some porridge and side dishes, but there were tea tree mushrooms in a dry pot, steamed shrimp with jade seed tofu, shiitake mushrooms and pork ribs and winter melon soup, as well as shredded radish crisp cakes, jujube Fruit and honey cake, rose flower cake, lotus paste cake and hawthorn cake.

Yang Mu looked at it, and felt bitter in his mouth, so he didn't need any food, so he just picked up a piece of hawthorn cake to taste, to get rid of the taste in his mouth, it was something that was easy to overcome, and he felt his mouth was fine.

Only then did I feel a little hungry, so I picked up a chopstick of choy sum, which was very bland, and drank another bowl of porridge with the choy, before stopping.

Two brothers, Zhang Yi and Zhang An, came to ask questions.

Zhang Yi replied: "I went to Ningguo Mansion today, and the mansion is in a mess. Because the incident happened suddenly, I didn't have any preparations, so I just made random preparations. Either there is something missing here, or there is something missing there. I can't even drink a sip of hot tea, and even the mourning hall has not been set up yet. I heard that the eldest master Jia Fu of Ningguo Mansion has fallen ill, but the second young master Jia Zhen can still hold on. Looking at the spirit card, I don’t know what to ask, and I don’t even say hello when I come. If you want the servant to see it, it’s blind."

This Ningguo mansion was overthrown by reality, without even a backbone, it was completely disorganized, and the old people in the mansion didn't come out to do things, just waiting to see the little master's jokes.

Then I heard Zhang Yi continue: "Fortunately, Uncle Jia knew the news and went to Ningguo Mansion, so he calmed down the place. He greeted and sent him away, and invited the imperial doctor to the mansion for the masters and masters in the mansion. Those who were sick Heal the sick, ask for peace of mind for those who are not sick, and order people to report funerals everywhere. When the slaves leave, it seems that Uncle Jia has basically straightened out the general idea."

=================================================================== =========================

At this time, Jia She was sitting in the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, and there were a lot of prominent servants standing underneath, all looking at Jia She with terrified faces, not daring to breathe, shrinking their necks, for fear of becoming this Uncle Jia punching bag.

The sound of boards outside the hall had stopped, Duan Yin and Duan Yi dragged a bloody man in, dragged him to the center of the hall, and then greeted Jia Amnesty, and replied: "According to the rules, Chen Sheng is disrespectful to the master. , taking advantage of the chaos to steal the master’s property. After rewarding forty boards, he and his family were expelled from the mansion and sold to work in coal mines. It is a death contract and cannot be redeemed for life.”

Seeing the pale faces of the servants below, Jia Amnesty nodded in satisfaction, achieving the effect he wanted.

Only then did he put down the teacup, and said, "In this mansion, the master will always be the master." After a glance, "I will not pursue today's matter. Whether it is stealing, cheating, neglecting the guests, or even worse What's more, those who are directly disrespectful to the master." After a pause, "If there is such a thing tomorrow, they will all be sold, anyway, there is no shortage of slaves in this market."

All the servants knelt down and apologized, shouting, "Damn the little one."

Jia Amnesty just said: "When I was promoted to be the housekeeper of this mansion, I made such a big mistake, and I didn't even know it. I changed silver and rice coins for half a year, and I also wrote down [-] boards. If there is another one, I will be punished for both crimes."

Laisheng climbed a few steps forward and kowtowed to Jia Shen to thank him.

Only then did the rosters of the people in the mansion be presented, and Jia Amnesty looked at them one by one, and said: "The people who are serving the masters are not moving, whether it is the young master or the lady, or the aunt, they are still serving, except for the usual things. Serve the clothes and refreshments carefully."

Turning to another page, pointing to the sewing room, he said: "Stop the sewing first. The most important thing is the plain clothes. I have to make them all night. I really can't make it in time. So I found the plain clothes and removed the patterns."

The needlework manager received the pair of cards, and went to the warehouse to get things ready.

He also pointed to those who greeted and sent them off on weekdays, "It's busier than usual at this time, and they are more careful. If you have to go to express your condolences, you will go, and if you see someone coming to express your condolences, you will come in quickly."

Pointing to the one on the kitchen, "Prepare all kinds of dried fruits and refreshments for the guests every day. In addition, remember to make ginger soup and send it everywhere, so as to get rid of the cold." He said to the small kitchen: "Your masters are all noble people. The filial piety period is already hard. Make more soup and water to make up for it."

They were assigned one by one, who would take care of the incense sticks, who would take care of the tea sets, and who would take care of the reception.Three patrols per day and night were set, and drinking, gambling, etc. were banned, and then everyone was ordered to disperse.
