The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

The old lady was troubled for a long time, but she didn't wait for the second son to come back, but she got the elder son Junqian's disrespect, and was beaten forty times with a cane. His skin was bruised and blood dripping, and he was sent to the meeting. Now she has invited the imperial doctor to watch.

"Come here, let someone prepare the car, I'll go and see the boss." The old lady was not sure whether Jia She went to pay back Ku Yin, and what was the attitude of the Holy Majesty, all these flashed through the old lady's mind. Waiting for news here, it is better to go and see in person and ask in person.

When the old lady arrived, the big room had already calmed down, and Jia Amnesty had already rested at ease, but he didn't sleep very soundly, frowning, obviously in pain.Xing Yue accompanied the old lady to the inner room, approached the bed, looked at Jia She, and saw that Jia She was resting on his stomach, the old lady quietly backed out without letting Xing Yue disturb her.

"Boss daughter-in-law, what did the imperial doctor say about your master's injury?" Even though Jia's mother wanted to know the cause and effect of the incident, she still knew that she had to ask about Jia Amnesty's injury first.

"Old lady, our master suffered a lot this time. When he came back, his skin was torn apart, and his clothes were stained red with blood. The imperial doctor said that the master did not hurt his muscles and bones. It's just that he is at such an age. Lie on the bed for three months, and then he will recover for half a year." Xing Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, she was also frightened by such a serious injury.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, don't cry, take good care of the boss, and heal your injury as soon as possible. I have good medicinal materials, and someone will send them over later." to go.

"Thank you, old lady" Xing Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief, bowed her head and remained silent.

"Your master came back and said what happened, why did he offend His Majesty and was beaten?" The old lady finally asked.

"Returning to the old lady, after the distribution of the property, our master asked someone to quietly send the unremarkable antique calligraphy and paintings that were distributed to the pawnshop. We collected 72 taels of silver, and today the master went to interview Seeing the Holy Majesty, he paid off the debt owed by the household department. The Holy Majesty thought of the meritorious service of his ancestors, gave him a lighter punishment, and awarded the master forty boards. If the law of the country is enforced, the grandson of this big house may not have a bright future." Xing Yue whispered in the old lady's ear, wiping her tears with a handkerchief from time to time.

The pawn that Xing Yue said was true, she discussed it with Jia She, and in order to deceive others, Jia She and Xing Yue made up their minds and picked out a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings distributed to Dafang, causing people to change their clothes and scatter them around. The pawnshops were deadly pawned, and they returned in exchange for 17 taels of silver. She had to keep the pawn ticket carefully, and save it to deal with the cheeky second wife.This time Xing Yue did some calculations, and the property allocated to Dafang was reduced by more than half, but Xing Yue, Jia She, and Jia Lian felt that it was all worth it.

"Your master is going to pay back the treasury silver. Why didn't you husband and wife tell me about such a big matter? Did you dislike my old lady for being too old?" After keeping his title, he immediately raised his teacher to question him.

"Old lady, this is nothing. How dare we despise the old lady? Our master said that the debt owed by the household department is our responsibility to attack the noble house. Naturally, our master and Lian'er will bear it. We cannot let the old lady follow along. Worried and frightened." Xing Yue replied stiffly, Xing Yue was very annoyed when he heard the old lady's words, the old lady was responsible for this disaster, they cleaned up the mess and sold most of the family property, and they were even more frightened in their hearts. Now that this matter is settled, the old lady is now asking strangely, when the big house was sold to collect money, why didn't the old lady take out her own money to finance one or two?

After hearing Xing Yue's words, the old lady knew that the big house felt resentful towards her, so she swallowed her breath and said, "Let your master have a good life." She went out and got on the sedan chair to go back.

The old lady was sitting in the sedan chair, feeling very dissatisfied. The old lady dared to feel resentment in her heart, and she didn't even think about it. If the boss kept it from her, would she make such a big mistake? The boss was born to restrain her , feeling increasingly displeased with Jia Amnesty.Now she doesn't expect her elder brother to take care of her, she will have to rely on her second son in the future.

And that dead old man, he didn't tell her until he died. There was such a thing, well, even the Duke of the country was complaining. She didn't know that the Duke of the country wrote the letter for the sake of his children and grandchildren. He knew his own The two sons are not very capable people. The 100 million taels of silver will be repaid for 50 years. It can protect the wealth and honor of Jia's family.

But all of his things were in vain. On the contrary, because of his old wife, the whole family almost lost their lives.

Jia Lian got his father's order and stayed in the yamen until noon. When the general was disrespectful in front of him, the Holy One was furious and ordered someone to pull him out to beat forty big boards. Li laughed at Jia She, thinking that the Rongguo Mansion had lost its favor, and in the blink of an eye, there was another news that the Holy Majesty beat Jia She on the front foot, and then sent an imperial doctor to treat him. It seems that the Holy Majesty still values ​​Rongguo Mansion very much.Jia Lian, who had been in the yamen, also heard these rumors and felt uneasy. After all, he remembered his father's words, and the family did not send anyone to invite him. He gritted his teeth and did not lift his feet to go home.

Finally when it was time to go to the Yamen, Jia Lian hurried home. Everyone didn't care when they saw him like this, knowing that he was impatient.Jia Lian rushed home in a hurry, and instead of returning to his own courtyard, he came to Xingyue courtyard in court clothes to see Jia Amnesty.At this time, Jia Amnesty was still sleeping soundly due to the effect of the medicine. After all, it was Xing Yue's bedroom. Jia Lian didn't go in, and only talked to Xing Yue outside the room.

"Madam, how is your master?" Jia Lian asked cautiously.

"Lian'er, your father's life is not in danger. The emperor sent the best bruise doctor to come here for diagnosis and treatment. He has already taken the medicine and is resting. You just came out of the court and you are still wearing court clothes. You are so anxious." Come here, in the future, Xijue, with such an unsteady appearance, will spread the word to make people laugh, your father is fine, you go back to your own courtyard to rest, when your father wakes up, I will send someone to tell you." Xing Xing Only now did Yue realize that it was extremely inappropriate for her to place Jia She in her bedroom.Without letting others know, they can only tell Jia Lian in a disguised form that they have escaped this calamity.

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this, and it took a while for him to react, and hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you Madam for letting me know, since my father is fine, my son will go back and rest, and come to visit the master when he wakes up."

Like Jia Lian, this Jia Zheng also heard rumors outside in the yamen, and after returning home, he changed his court clothes and planned to visit Jia Amnesty. Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the door, he would meet someone sent by the old lady, change his clothes and go Old lady.I don't know what the old lady said. Jia Zheng came to visit Jia She with some medicines. He heard from Xing Yue that Jia She was resting. He only said one thing to let the elder brother recover from his injuries. He left happily without asking anything else. up.

Xing Yue and Jia She didn't know how they collected the money that night, the private affairs of Rongguo Mansion's house, and the matter of lending that they were investigating were all on the desks of the Holy One and Prince Rui.Prince Rui is a man of action, and he doesn't care much about the Rongguo Mansion, which rely on the meritorious deeds of their ancestors and has no real power, and doesn't care at all. It's just that his father ordered him to visit Jia She, and he has to do it a little bit. learn.

Picking up a stack of documents on the desk, after flipping through, he couldn't help shaking his head, there was no one in Jia's mansion, and he secretly cursed Jia Amnesty for his incompetence, yet he was pinned on his head by his old mother and couldn't move.And this old lady is really a fool, even if she is partial, she can't do such a violation of etiquette, she just kicked Xijue's eldest son to live in a side room, and let the second son of Wai Lang, who is only a small fifth-grade worker, live in Entering the main room of Rongfu, and this Jia Zheng, all these years of studying for nothing.

Prince Rui saw Jia's mother's deeds, and felt a little pity for Jia She. His biological mother was born in a humble family and died young. He was raised by a virtuous concubine who was never favored, had only one daughter, and was not born in a noble family. Concubine Xian has no son, so she treats him as her own son, which is much better than Jia She who has a mother.

But this thought just passed by in a flash. His attention was focused on the name Jia Lian, not because Jia Lian was so special, but because of the relationship behind Jia Lian himself.In fact, Jia Lian himself has a strong background, but it is a pity that he has such a useless father and partial grandmother like Jia She, but he does not show it.If it wasn't for today's incident, Prince Rui would not have noticed Jia Lian himself.

Prince Rui valued two things the most. One was Jia Lian's uncle, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Junhao. Zhang Junhao severed ties with the Jia family because of his sister's death. With the financial power in the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Rui clicked on Jia Lian's name, and finally made up his mind.

On the second day, Xing Yue asked Jia Lian to take a leave of absence, and stayed at home with his wife to entertain those relatives and friends who came to visit Jia Amnesty.The first one to arrive was the family from the East Mansion. The masters of the East Mansion arrived very well. Mrs. Xu brought You Shi and Jia Zhen together. Jia Zhen and You Shi were received by Jia Lian and his wife, and Mrs. Xu was received by Xing Yue. of.

Mrs. Xu felt that the affairs of the East Mansion were quite strange, so she came here today to inquire a little bit, but she was abducted by Xing Yue to other places after several times of probing, but she didn't reveal anything.

The more Xing Yue was like this, the more Mrs. Xu felt that the matter was of great importance. Seeing that there was no one around, she simply asked directly: "Sister and sister, is there something serious going on at home and you are in a hurry to spend money? If you don't tell me, I'll have someone deliver that box to you." Come here." This is asking for money.

"Sister-in-law, don't be like this. The family really can't afford that much money. It's almost collapsed these days. The master and I sold most of the family property to settle the matter. It really can't be done. Say it." Tears flowed down her face as she spoke, Xing Yue pretended to be afraid that she would have to pay back the money, and begged softly while wiping away her tears.

Mrs. Xu was not surprised when she heard this, and felt that the matter was even more complicated. The family property that the big house got was worth at least 50 yuan. This sold off most of the family property, which cost [-] million yuan. Some money, what happened to this Xifu?Xu muttered in her heart.

A little girl came in outside and announced that Prince Rui came to visit Jia Amnesty in the mansion, Xing Yue hurriedly wiped away her tears, asked Mrs. Xu to sit down first, and went inside to report to Jia Amnesty.

Prince Rui came to the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian was in the main room, and he couldn't make it for a while, so Jia Zhu, who was at home, came forward to receive him. After Jia Lian rushed over, Prince Rui explained the reason for his visit. He wanted to see Jia in person. amnesty.

This sentence stumped Jia Lian, the corner door of the big room was for introverts to walk around, it was really not suitable for Prince Rui to walk around, Jia Lian greeted him with a smile, and tried to persuade Prince Rui to change his mind.

"This king is here to visit General Jia by order, but my father told me to see that General Jia is safe before I can go back. Do you want this king to go back?"

Resisting the decree will fail. "Prince Rui is very clear about the situation in Rongguo Mansion, so he naturally knows what's going on.

"I dare not, Prince Rui, this way please." This Jia Lian was forced by Prince Rui to leave the Rongguo Mansion with Prince Rui.

"Why are you leaving? Isn't General Jia training in Rongguo Mansion?" Prince Rui's words made Jia Zhu's face flush with embarrassment.

"If you go back to the prince, my father is not heat-resistant. The garden in the mansion is pleasant, with picturesque mountains and rivers, and it is the coolest place. It is suitable for my father to cultivate. Therefore, my father is now in the garden, so I ask the prince to move." Jia Lian is not a fool. If he really said it in the open, his father couldn't escape scolding him.

Prince Rui saw that Jia Lian responded well and was good at changing things, nodded secretly in his heart, and asked: "Jia Lian, I think your age is not that old, what do you do on weekdays?"

"Returning to the lord, speaking of this minister's shamelessness, he has been stubborn since he was a child, and my father saw that if he could not succeed in martial arts, he donated a fifth-rank acquaintance, and he studied with all the adults in the yamen on weekdays." Jia Lian was a fine man. Yes, speaking is also smooth.

"Oh, I see that you are eloquent, would you like to work as an errand in the Ministry of Rituals?" Prince Rui originally planned to put Jia Lian in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but it was too eye-catching and directly put him in the humble Ministry of Rites.

"I am willing, thank you for your appreciation. I am very grateful." Jia Lian didn't expect him to benefit from his official career. The prince valued it, so he went to work in the Ministry of Rites. Although the Ministry of Rites is not as good as other departments, it is better than someone with a name but no real job.

Here, Jia She has already dressed, lay on the couch, and was carried back to his courtyard. When Prince Rui arrived, Jia She struggled to salute, and Prince Rui hurriedly stopped him: "General Jia, you don't need to salute. This injury is not healed, it is better to lie down."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."

"General Jia, my father asked this king to visit you. This is what my father specially asked me to bring to you. Since General Jia is safe and sound, then this king will leave." The purpose of Prince Rui's visit today is When he arrived, he didn't stay any longer, and turned around to say goodbye.

After dismissing everyone, Jia She opened the box, and inside was the debt certificate written by the father-in-law of the old country. Jia She was nervous yesterday and didn't think about this matter at all.

Not long after Prince Rui left, many people came to Jia She's mansion to give gifts.
