Old things in the Red Chamber

For Jia Gu, life suddenly became easier.There is no need to get up very early in the morning, go to the gate and wait for the morning court, ride a horse quietly to the gate of the palace every day, and then send people to watch the camp outside the city. This is all he has to do now.

In addition to these two things that must be done every day, he also keeps a low profile at home and never goes out to hang out.

Jia She is also an otaku himself.Two people can spend an afternoon facing a chessboard.

"Vaulting horse," Jia Gu put a chess piece where it should be, and said to Jia She very emotionally, "This is a good life, every day is like an old man, if my son and grandson are right in front of me, then I really have no regrets."

"That is to say, when people are in front of you, you don't think so. For me, when Jia Lian didn't come back, I really missed them, but after they came back, I hated them very much. I can't wait to put He drove out of the house, so you don't see him from a distance, so you can have a pure heart."

"Look at the little pawns on your chessboard, I'm about to eat them. Did your son do something unlucky again? Made you angry?"

Jia Shen stared at the chessboard, hesitating which piece to move, "The couple are arguing at home, Mrs. Wang has been urging him to run around to find a job outside, and he has a false job, you do you remember?"

Jia Gu nodded, "His wife's plan is not wrong, could it be that Jia Lian is unwilling?"

"You're right, that kid doesn't want to spend his time in the capital. Mrs. Wang has been urging him, but he hasn't seen any movement, so the couple are angry right now."

"They're gone, what about their son? Put it in front of you?"

"It's hard to put their son in the palace. Do you think they will take it away if they go outside? Naturally, I want to watch my grandson. To be honest, I am quite happy to see my grandson. A bastard son is enough, raise my grandson well, I care more about raising my grandson than my son."

"It's useless to let anyone talk about it. He has to think about it on his own. Otherwise, even if he finds a place for him to put it outside, he won't be happy in his heart, and he can't do it well. What will happen then? It’s better to stay at home honestly.”

"When I say this, you may hear it fresh, but let me say it myself. Jia Lian can't be an official. He has a soft ear, he can't make up his mind, and he likes to make money. Or Don't go out and harm people."

A game of chess was not finished until the sunset, Jia Gu asked someone to hold a lamp, and the two planned to light the lamp to fight at night, when the candles had just been lit, Jia Gui hurried in.

"Master Hou, Grand Master, just now someone went to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint."

Jia She asked Jia Gui, "Could it be Ningguo Mansion that is the one to sue?"

"Returning to you, it is indeed."

Jia Amnesty said to Jia Gu with emotion, "Someone is deliberately cleaning up their house."

Jia Gu thought, you only know now!

"Isn't this obvious? Why didn't anyone come to beat the drums to complain when the incident happened, but at this time, everyone rushed out. The people in Ningguo Mansion themselves did more immoral things, but someone replaced them Keeping accounts is also a rare thing." He turned to look at Jia Gui, "What charges are they being charged this time? Ningguo Mansion is already in turmoil. One more case is not much, and one less case is quite a lot. Could it be this time? Isn't the charge of the crime even more shocking?"

Jia Gui's expression was a bit complicated, "It's not the charge this time... It's also a complicated charge, because the person who filed the complaint has a special identity."

"Who?" Jia Gu looked at Jia Amnesty, feeling a little unbelievable guessing, "Could it be Jia Jiazhen's master? At this time, he wants to send his own dog leg to the point of doom? He will undoubtedly cut off his own arm, what is he trying to do?" ah?"

Jia Amnesty can't guess who has a more special status, and people with special status always like to put on airs and value face, and some things that are not easy to say will never be revealed, let alone the name of drumming in public. Wronged to the government, "Who will go to sue in person?"

"If you want slaves to call wicked people, you need wicked people to torture them. Do the Eldest Master and Hou Ye still remember why our uncle went to Jiangnan?"

Before Jia Amnesty could react, Jia Gu already knew who had come forward to sue Jia Zhen, "Princess Huaihe? Why, they have already started to turn against each other? Only by saying this can I understand who is behind the incident. who is it."

"My old brother means that Princess Huaihe is behind this matter? No way!"

Jia Gu threw the chess piece on the chessboard and said to Jia She with emotion, "The sons and daughters of the Supreme Emperor, if they want to talk about strategies, the emperor is the best among the sons, and the Princess Huaihe is among the daughters. It's just that this princess has never Put your mind on the right way, but after all, she is also a powerful person. Last time our family had no grudges against her, it was such a big crime that it was immediately charged on my son's head. He had to go far away to the south of the Yangtze River. This shot will push the Ningguo Mansion to a dead end, just wait and see, the fate of the Jia family and his son will never be better."

Jia Amnesty's mood is much more complicated. In the final analysis, he and Ningguo Mansion are relatively close by blood. When everyone is not tearing their skins apart, they are also a family that loves each other. Now they are going to be unlucky. Thinking about it, I feel a little bit Things hurt their kind.

Jia Gu's master and servant didn't care about Jia She's sorrow at all, and the two of them were already talking about it.

"Otherwise, the servant will let our family watch the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion tomorrow. If the two parties confront each other in court, we will know the first-hand news."

Jia Gui's proposal, Jia Gu thought for a while and immediately agreed, "Let's not make it too obvious, our family is not the only one staring at them tomorrow. Your master, I have been looking at others for a while now. Thinking about it behind closed doors, it’s best for our family not to have too much fun in the capital, or else people will be watching, and we will be a troublesome matter.”

"Then we can only send someone to the restaurant and teahouse to wait for the news, but the information we get there is [-]% true and [-]% false."

"As long as there is news, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Even if there are false ones, our gentlemen will also have someone who can turn them into true. By the way, after this matter is over tomorrow, you arrange people to spread the news in the market. My son's The reputation cannot be ruined by people like them, at least let others know that my son has been wronged."

Jia Gui still didn't quite understand, "Didn't you say you should keep a low profile, it's better not to be discovered by others, wouldn't it be a little too ostentatious for our young master to come out at this time?"

"If I haven't acted at this time, others will also be suspicious. Don't ask so many questions about this matter, just do what I say. As for how to do it without disclosing it, you can go to a few gentlemen to discuss it."

After Jia Gui left, Jia Gu became a little curious about the case that would open tomorrow, and he was not the only one who was curious about this matter.There are a lot of melon-eating people in the capital, especially the stories of such high-ranking and rich families with some eclectic stories, which make many people pay attention to them.

Regardless of whether it was the second or third-class families in the capital, or ordinary people living in the streets and alleys, there was already a lot of discussion before the trial of this case, and before the trial was over, all kinds of gossip were flying everywhere.

Jia Gu and Jia She set up the chessboard again, but this time neither of them was in the mood to play chess. Both of them were staring at the gate, hoping that someone would rush in from outside and bring them the latest news.

After waiting for a while, it seemed that it was noon, and a man ran in from outside the door with an excited face and ran over to report to the two brothers. "Master Hou, my lord, in the lobby today, Princess Huaihe personally said that her son's biological father is Jia Zhen, and now the Shuntian Mansion is no longer qualified to hear this kind of case. Moved to their side, but now everyone knows what they should know, and many people outside say that our uncle is really ignorant, and almost died of injustice."

Jia Gu waved his hand to let him go down, and there was always a feeling of elation in his heart.

"I'm only telling you this. Fortunately, the emperor is wise. If it were a foolish person, he would have made my son pinch his nose to admit this disgusting thing a few years ago. Now it's pretty safe. See Yueming."

Apart from being happy for his nephew, Jia Amnesty also had a trace of melancholy in his heart. In the end, he couldn't help but quietly asked Jia Gu, "You said that even if Jia Zhen collaborated in the rebellion, the big guys don't know about it now? , but judging from the current lawsuit against him, not only will he lose his title, but he may even be exiled and ransacked his home, or he will be beheaded directly. Do you think he and the son of Princess Huaihe will survive? Such a thing as exile."

"You worry too much," Jia Gu put his mind on the chessboard again, knowing that Jia Shenian was really thinking about the fact that we all belong to the same ancestor, but he didn't intend to tell Jia Shen about the child's current whereabouts. , just vaguely said to Jia She, "This child died of illness some time ago. If he is still alive, do you think Princess Huaihe can be so ruined?"

"Dead? You won't be punished if you die."

"Could it be that he is alive and you still want to save him?"

"I don't have such thoughts. I just thought that if he was there, their branch would be passed down. After all, even if they didn't beheaded and exiled for three thousand miles, this kind of crime is not acceptable to both of them. Those who come down will most likely die on the way to exile. If there is still a child, after all, they have kept a share of incense, and they are worthy of the ancestors."

"You think too much, Ningguo Mansion is authentically belonged to Jia Qiang's branch, although Jia Zhen's branch inherited the title, but Jia Jing is not the eldest son, so seriously, the person who should be the patriarch should not be Jia Zhen. "

The two of them were still talking, and another person came in outside the door at this time. This person was the one who went out with Jia She. Now that he came here, he must be looking for Jia She.

"Master, the letter just came from our house, the second master asked you to go back quickly, saying that the old lady passed out just now."

Although Jia Amnesty and Shi Taijun have been farther and farther away for so many years, when his mother passed out, he quickly threw the chess on the board, stood up and said to Jia Gu, "The old lady is still in good health all these years. I haven't had a few headaches and brain fever. I think this time I was angry with Jia Zhen. You stay at home first, and I'll go back and have a look. I'll come back to play chess with you tomorrow."
