Old things in the Red Chamber

On the second day after Shi Taijun's death, Jia Amnesty spent hundreds of taels of silver to clear the jailer and enter the death row.

Jia Zheng sat in the prison, flanked by his two sons.The three of them, father and son, were all tortured beyond recognition.Even because of the repeated cases of Wang with different surnames in recent days, they have been brought up for trial.After telling too many lies, Jia Zheng already believed that he was indeed appointed by a king with a different surname to encounter treason.

When he saw Jia She entered the prison in sackcloth, he immediately felt like a thunderbolt.

Next to him, Jia Baoyu was crying.

Jia pardoned the two brothers, Jia Zheng, and this meeting almost became a farewell.But neither of them spoke, Jia Zheng cried himself, and Jia Amnesty stood outside the other door.When he finally left, Jia Amnesty said to Jia Baoyu on the side, "Your son is coming home."

Just this sentence made Jia Zheng suddenly angry.He didn't eat that night, and when he was in court the next day, he insisted that his surname was different from Wang, so he hit the steps on the spot, his brain burst, and he died.

Jia Baoyu was completely stunned.

Every time I mentioned him, I was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.Many people shook their heads and sighed, even the doctor said that this person has become a fool.

Jia She, who is outside, is not having an easy life.The Jia family fell too fast, and there were many old friends and relatives of the Jia family who had not received the news.There are even some people who continue to act in the name of their family.When Jia Amnesty was keeping watch, he received a summons from the government.

Compared with the government's summons, sending the spirit to the south is also a major event.

The ancestral graves of their branch are in Jinling, after people die, they will naturally be buried back in the ancestral graves.

Jia Amnesty had other ideas, even if Jia Zheng didn't live up to his expectations and ended up like this.But also to collect the corpse for him.Therefore, when Fu Ling went south, he had to bring Jia Zheng with him.

And the treason case is about to be pronounced, and the rest of the Jia family will inevitably end up decapitated.They can't ignore it either.

Jia Amnesty sighed in the coffin shed, how could he have imagined such an ending a few years ago.

When Shi Taijun passed away, Lin Daiyu had to come to the funeral.

When a person dies, all the love and hatred with him fade away.This is the case between Lin Daiyu and Shi Taijun. Speaking of it, since Lin Daiyu came to the capital when she was a child, Shi Taijun has treated her with great kindness, and also hurt her all over her body.

But now that the person has passed away, it is useless to say too much. What I can recall is that when she came to Beijing, she hugged her heart and cried, and the scene at that time, in Lin Daiyu's view today, was entirely because of Shi Taijun's discovery. Crying from the heart.

In the first few days, Lin Daiyu came every morning and was the last one to leave at night to help Wang Xifeng settle the house.The purpose is still to make Shi Taijun walk more peacefully and more dignifiedly.

After Jia Zheng's body was brought over, no one came to mourn their mother and son. Even if they died, they would still bear the reputation of a traitor, so how could anyone go to pay homage to them.

Among the ministers in the imperial court, Gu Yun was the only official who came here.

Because Gu Yun comes here often and has a close relationship with Jia She, Jia She would accompany Gu Yun to talk when the family was neglected at home. The two of them were talking about Shi Taijun's death, and Jia She told his plan. "I personally sent the old lady back to the south, and took my second child and her family away along the way. Someone threatened in front of me a few days ago that my second child would not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave. I was thinking that I am still alive, so I should bury my second child Go back to the ancestral grave, or move a few princes out. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are not a joke. When the Rongguo Mansion was cooking with fire and oil, they talked and bowed their heads. Now, they have started to play tricks again. Without my grandfather and father, how could they be in Yurou Township? I’m not afraid of your jokes. People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to my door yesterday to ask me about some things, all of which were done by our clansmen.”

"When are you going to leave?"

"After this case is over, I think Baoyu and Huan'er will be sent back by me. I will take them with me along the way, so that I don't have to run a second time."

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Yun didn't want Jia She to take this trip, "You are so old. This trip is not easy, why not leave it to my second cousin..."

"If it is left to him, he will definitely not be able to do this. They are all relatives. I will not avoid you when I talk. Let him do some smooth things. He will do it beautifully. If you let him Going back to quarrel with those clan elders, he must not be able to quarrel with them, since he can't quarrel with them, do you think this person can go back to the ancestral grave?"

After saying this, Jia Amnesty was also quite lonely, "I set up my own family, and it's fine if I can't go back to the ancestral grave. Others didn't come out with me, so I still have to let them go back. When I go back, I will take Lan Take it with you, I guess there are only Lian's father and son left in the capital, for the sake of relatives, you can take care of things."

Because the funeral itself was rushed, and it seemed even more desolate.So it was over early.

Jia Amnesty stored the coffins of Shi Taijun's mother and son in the temple.Starting to deal with his going south, it is necessary to tell his grandson not to listen to his muddled father, and to go to the government often when he is free.

The situation in the court hall also changed in an instant, because Jia Zheng was hit to death in the lobby, and his final testimony made the gold content in it very high, and it seemed even more irrefutable.

The Seventh Prince was so anxious at this time that his mouth was full of talk. His concubine had already married into the family. She was indeed a beautiful woman with a beautiful face. In terms of education and character, everything was good. The only thing was that her father was now in jail.The beauty washed her face with tears every day at home, even if the princess didn't say anything else, the seventh prince would have to fish out his father-in-law.This is related to his layout in the thatched cottage. It would be too late if he broke his arm at this time, but he couldn't do it.

Jia Zheng's death made the testimony irrefutable, so the emperor secretly began to feel happy in his heart.

Taking advantage of the queen's birthday, he gave himself a day off, and first greeted him in the emperor's palace.The palace of the Supreme Emperor is like spring all the year round, and since he became the Supreme Emperor ignoring political affairs, the old man has developed a skill, that is, playing the pipa, and has become a master of the pipa.At this time, the Taishanghuang held a pipa in his hand and jingled, and countless dancers around him danced to the sound of the pipa.

Speaking of which, the life of the Supreme Emperor is what everyone yearns for.The emperor looked at it for a while, and ordered someone to take a guqin to play music with the Supreme Emperor, but he only plucked a few strings, and played the wrong rhythm at the beginning, and was sent back by the Supreme Emperor.

The emperor who was blown away was not angry, and went to the queen mother's palace. The queen mother was not in good health recently. When she saw the emperor coming, she asked him something, "I heard outside that Jia Daishan's wife is gone, right?"

"There is such a thing."

"Speaking of which, I'm about the same age as her. As for our group, we are either dead or disabled. Compared with being disabled, I want to die sooner."

"You say this, how do my sister and I get along with each other? Could it be that we are not filial, which makes the queen mother not want to see us?"

"Everyone is mortal, and it's not something you can redeem with filial piety. Well, let's not talk about it. It's rare to see you today. Let me take a good look at you. In a blink of an eye, you will be so big. This beard I also want to turn white, and you will be a grandfather in a few years."

"These boys in the palace will grow up when they see the wind. Looking at them, I don't want to be old."

The queen mother just smiled, and coughed a few times while laughing. The emperor asked to announce the imperial doctor, but the queen mother refused to let her go, "It's an old problem. If you can cure the disease, you can't cure it. This is my life."

From coming in to now, every word the queen mother said seemed particularly ominous. The emperor was a little uneasy, but he still had a smile on his face. He said a few words with the queen mother, and when he left the queen mother's bedroom, he quickly called the imperial doctor. After inquiring again, I was relieved when I heard that the Queen Mother was in good health.

It's just that he was relieved too early. After seven or eight days, someone came to tell him that the queen mother's side was not good.

I don't know if people can predict their own life and death, anyway, the Queen Mother looks very peaceful at this time, when she returns to the light, she holds Princess Anyang's hand and lets her live a good life.

A mother's affection for her daughter is particularly sincere when she is parting. The queen mother took the hand of Princess Anyang and chattered, talking about the past to the present, and looking forward to the future from the present. The emperor's concern, but the most important thing is to feel sorry for his daughter.The emperor and Princess Anyang had already understood at this time that the old man was dying, but they didn't interrupt her. The queen mother finally asked the emperor suddenly.

"Does what the emperor said back then still count?"

The empress dowager and the emperor had said countless things for so many years, but the empress dowager did not point out that sentence, and the emperor thought for a while before remembering it.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, what I say will naturally mean what I say."

The Queen Mother finally nodded in reassurance, smiled and watched the two of them not come up in one breath, and drove west.

After the Queen Mother passed away, the Supreme Emperor entered her bedroom and saw her for the last time. After returning, she was still singing every night.Facing the emperor's burial of the empress dowager with the former deposed prince, he did not express any opinion.

But since the Queen Mother passed away, the Taishanghuang's health has also become bad. Although his health has deteriorated, he still can't stop the Taishanghuang from overdrawing his own life. He has to drink and eat meat every day, and he stays up late. I heard that for a few days It was day and night that I drank with the court lady and didn't close my eyes to sleep.Two months after the Queen Mother passed away, the Supreme Emperor was still alive and kicking in his bedroom.

The Empress Dowager's funeral was extremely grand, even more grand than when Concubine Zhen passed away.Seeing that the queen mother's coffin was about to be sent to the underground palace, the emperor announced a decision that shocked everyone.
