[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

As soon as Jia Zhen heard her father's words, she immediately came over and knelt in front of her father, persuading her: "Father, the house still needs you, and my son also wants to be filial to you, please don't..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt her arm being pulled by someone. When Jia Zhen turned around, she saw her aunt pulling her head and shaking her head. She asked a little puzzledly, "Grandmother?"

Zhang Rui didn't answer Jia Zhen, but asked Jia Jing: "Do you really want to stay here?"

Jia Jing nodded, and said: "Nephew has made a clear decision, and he has also submitted his resignation. I will keep my wife's filial piety here and then guard the spirit."

In this dynasty, there was indeed a saying that when a wife died, the husband had to keep mourning for his wife for one year, but there was no need for Ding You to keep mourning for three years like his parents died, and there were even fewer men like Jia Jing who directly guarded Zheng’s spirit in front of Zheng’s cemetery. There are very few of them.

Seeing that Jia Jing had made up his mind, Zhang Rui pulled Jia Zhen away for the time being. Jia Zhen was still a little reluctant, and waited until he could not see his father before asking his aunt and grandmother, "Why did my aunt stop me from persuading my father?"

"Your father is sad for your mother. It's useless for you to talk too much. It's better to let him do what he wants for now." Seeing that Jia Zhen was still a little conflicted, he said, "Your father and mother have been together for many years, and emotions are beyond your comprehension." , if you are not at ease, then take a look."

Although Jia Zhen still felt a little inadequate, she knew that it was only for the time being.

After returning to the mansion, Jia Min from the Zhang family, Wang family, and Jia Min were all waiting for her. Seeing her return, she hurriedly asked, "Mother, how is Brother Jing?"

After receiving the tea brought by Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Rui replied softly, "It's nothing serious. It's just that Jia Jing wrote the booklet and plans to resign to guard the mausoleum of Mrs. Zheng."

"What?! Resign to guard the mausoleum?!"

The three of them were a little shocked, but Zhang Shi and Wang Shi looked at each other, feeling a little sore in their hearts. Who didn't dream of a loving and handsome husband when they were girls, but their fate was ordinary. The husband they married was handsome, but affectionate?Ah!

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were still sour, and Jia Min, whose married life was almost perfect, asked, "Mother, did you and Zhen'er persuade you to resign?"

"How can I persuade you? Your cousin has already handed it in. He is determined to do so, and persuasion is useless."

Jia Jing has already made up his mind, and naturally no one can stop it, so this matter can only be left for the time being, but the Zhang family and the Wang family were a little embarrassed when they saw Jia pardoning Jia Zheng in those few days, after all, the comparison is really It's too big a gap.

Mrs. Zheng passed away, and the hot filial piety in June has not yet been celebrated. Although it is the aunt next door, it is still inappropriate to hold things that are too enthusiastic, so Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang went to the apprentice's house and the original family to apologize in person, and explained the reasons. Hope to postpone the wedding.

When the two families learned the reason, they didn't have any opinions. After all, the relatives who live so close are guarding the filial piety. It's really not good for them to hold a wedding here. It is understandable to postpone the wedding for such a reason, and it is also It clarifies that the Rongguo Mansion knows the etiquette and is friendly with the clansmen.

There are no particularly good days for the relatively recent dates, so after negotiation, Jia Zhu's wedding was finally set on the tenth day of the end of the year, and Jia Lian's wedding was on the eighteenth day of the second lunar month.

But Zhang Rui felt that this was good too. Originally, they came back late, and they could be more fully prepared when they arrived later.

The matter of Jia Zhu and Jia Lian had just been arranged, and Jia Zhen came to the mansion again. In fact, because of his filial piety, he would not come out to see the husband and wife in front of his mother's grave, but this time he had something to do, so he ignored it. That's a lot.

"Grandmother, please help me think of a way."

Seeing his sweating profusely, Zhang Rui asked someone to hand him a handkerchief, "What's the matter? Take your time and drink your saliva first."

No matter how eager Jia Zhen was, she still picked up the teacup, took a breath and said: "I just went to see my father, and he will ask for an order to let me continue the title if he says filial piety!"

"Since he doesn't want to take office anymore, it's not surprising that he did so, why are you so nervous?"

Jia Zhen shook her head again and again and explained: "No, alas, I don't know if I feel right or not. It's not surprising that my father is now a vegetarian, but he didn't know when he was wearing Taoist robes. Luli has seen a lot of Taoist books, and now he suddenly said that he would give me the title, do you think my father is going to become a monk?"

"This... Maybe you think too much."

But speaking of which, Zhang Rui doesn't even have the confidence. After all, the original Jia Jing did escape into the Taoist sect, and even died of burning because of eating some secret cinnabar, so if Jia Jing really wants to become a monk, she is not at all. Accident.

Jia Zhen also hoped that she was thinking too much, but if he didn't do something, he would never be able to settle down. If his father really planned to practice Taoism, what would Ningguo Mansion do?

Zhang Rui couldn't bear Jia Zhen's pleading, and finally decided to go to Jia Jing's side tomorrow, to know exactly what he planned.

Early the next morning, Zhang Rui went to Ningguo Mansion to take Jia Qiong with him. The child had been taken care of well during this time, and his chin was almost fat.

Princess Anyang has only two sons now, the eldest son Jia Rong is seven years old, and the second son Jia Pu is two months older than Jia Hu's eldest son. She only wants a daughter, but she has never had one. Now she has to keep mourning for three years. It is not certain whether there is a chance to have a daughter, so Jia Qiong's appearance almost fulfilled her daughter's dream.

Therefore, it can be seen how meticulously she took care of Jia Qiong.

Zhang Rui took Jia Qiong out of the city and came to Zheng's tomb. She saw Jia Jing sitting in front of her, with a piano in front of her, playing a very expressive tune, but she couldn't tell which one it was.

He just carried little Jia Qiong to the grave, and said to himself: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, this is Qiong'er. You can see how well she was raised by Anyang. If you know it under the spring, you can rest assured that you will be reincarnated as soon as possible, and don't be left in the world." people hooked and unable to die."

Jia Jing was originally interrupted by his aunt, but now he heard her words and said helplessly: "Why do you say that about me?"

"Then what should I say about you?" Zhang Rui rolled his eyes, carried Jia Qiong to Jia Jing's side, and said, "This is a child born by my niece and daughter-in-law. People say that the youngest is the heart of their parents. Look look at her."

Jia Jing had no expression on his face, and he didn't even look at the child in his aunt's arms. Seeing this, Zhang Rui pushed the child into Jia Jing's arms with both arms.

Jia Jing originally wanted to refuse, but then he felt that his aunt really let go, so he had no choice but to take it, and when he hugged the little doll in his arms and clinged to him softly, he was a little stunned.

Jia Qiong swayed on the carriage and slept soundly. She woke up not long after getting off the carriage. When she was energetic, she waved her little hands and played by herself, not caring at all whether the person holding her was a stranger.

This made Jia Jing think it was because their blood was thicker than water, at least the moment he held the child in his arms, tears welled up in his eyes, and all the self-righteous anger dissipated without a trace.

As soon as Zhang Rui saw Jia Jing's expression, he knew that this person's six senses were not pure, and he couldn't practice Taoism wholeheartedly, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Why are you wearing this taoist uniform? Do you still want to escape into the Taoist sect?"

Jia Jing didn't say anything to refute, Zhang Rui knew that he really had this idea, so he didn't try to persuade him, and said directly: "I don't approve."

Everyone has a flaw. When an idea is opposed by others, they become unconsciously more determined. Jia Jing is also like this. Hearing what his aunt said, he immediately said: "Since my nephew wants to live in seclusion here and be ascetic, he should become a monk and abandon him." There is nothing wrong with vulgarity."

"I don't have any opinion with the Jia family whether you want to live in seclusion or be pure-minded. Or you can be a Taoist monk, but isn't it too irresponsible to become a monk formally?"

Jia Jing wanted to refute, but looking at the daughter in his arms, he didn't know how to speak. Seeing this, Zhang Rui continued: "You don't have any problem with Qingxiu, and no one will stop it. When the time comes, let people build a different building around here." The courtyard is smaller and more exquisite, just right for you to be with your nephew and daughter-in-law, don’t you have to become a monk to clean up? Then your heart is not so firm.”

Being blocked and having nothing to say, Jia Jing felt a little sulky. Zhang Rui walked around and turned around to Human Nature who was following her: "It's not suitable to break ground in the filial piety now. If you don't change after three years I decided to build a small hut or a small house here, what do you think?"

"You are the elder, you have the final say." The tone was a little discouraged.

Regardless of whether Zhang Rui did it from the bottom of his heart or not, he took Jia Jing around and carefully planned what could be built in a certain place, and what plants to plant, etc. Jia Jing had no personality at all.

After staying here for a long time, Zhang Rui prepared to go back with Jia Qiong in his arms. Before leaving, he said to Jia Jing: "From now on, I will let Qionger come every half a month, so that she will not think that Zhener and Anyang are the same after a long time. It's bad if it's her parents. No matter how elder sister-in-law is like mother and elder brother is like father, she can't stand in front of her own father."

Going back and sending Jia Qiong back to Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Rui briefly told Jia Zhen what he had mentioned at Jia Jing's place. Jia Zhen didn't expect that her father really wanted to become a monk, and she was a little glad that she didn't Neglect the past.

He didn't pay too much attention to what his great-aunt told him to let his father stay there to live in seclusion. As long as it wasn't true, he would be a Taoist priest in the world of mortals, but he would be willing to stay outside. He completely forgot how he opposed it at the beginning. of.

But even so, Jia Zhen has a sense of urgency. Although he has taken the princess as his wife, it doesn't mean that he really has no worries. Start studying hard again, and if the results are good, you can also take the provincial examination.

Everyone in Rongguo Mansion and Princess Anyang had no objection to his thoughts, and even helped him get rid of all the factors that affected his studies. If Jia Zhen was lucky enough to be admitted to Juren Jinshi, then his father would no longer be in charge of Ningguo Mansion. They also have more guarantees.

Jia Zhen studied and worked hard for Ningguo Mansion and her own academic future. Jia Qiong was often carried to see her father. Gradually, this Taoist classic became her sleeping book, and she couldn't sleep well if she didn't listen to it for a day.
