Enter Jia Amnesty from the Red Chamber

From noon on that day, the old house of Rongguo Mansion began to be noisy and toss about the house. Jia Lian, the future heir, stepped forward for the first time and ordered people to start cleaning from the inside to the outside. Both indoors and outdoors were busy, so that others could not be curious and inquired. .

The mouths of the servants in the old house have not been strictly disciplined yet, and they easily leaked the news that their family pardoned the Elder to return to the house.It doesn't matter whether other people recognize Jia She or not, or whether it has anything to do with the Rongguo Mansion, just saying that the rumors about the Rongguo Mansion's pardoning the Grand Master in this month are vigorous enough to cause an uproar.

When the old men and women in Jia's mansion heard the news, they couldn't sit still, so they asked someone to set up a car, and rushed to the old house of Rongguo Mansion in anxiety.

Now Jia Lian and his wife are in charge of the inner and outer courts of the Rongguo Mansion in Jinling, and the big tree of Master Pardon stands behind them. The servants who dare to show the face of the couple are all trembling and do what they have to do.

Since the entire old house had to be cleaned again, the backyard where Jia Zheng lived was naturally also included in the cleaning. Although it was not included in the key cleaning list, it was inevitable that the dust would fly and make noise. Feel ashamed again.

When Jia Lian framed him yesterday, now that he thinks about it, his face turns red. If he doesn't get the letter back, how can he go out to meet people in the future? He still has face when he is accused of framing his nephew and taking his nephew's title. Go underground to meet the ancestors?

Therefore, Jia Zheng did not dare to reprimand him.

Jia Lian didn't get his instruction, but he didn't intend to offend him completely, anyway, he is an elder, if he offends too much, his reputation will not be that good after all, just like what the old man said, if he does too much, someone will pity him. He, Jia Zheng, is an elder, but this is not what he wants, it's better to let it go for a while, and it's not bad to keep it as a handle.

The place next to it was extremely noisy, Wang Xifeng didn't let anyone make trouble at the Xing's place, and it was rare for Elder Xi to go home to rest, so he couldn't let him hurt his body and mind again.Sister Qiao also fell asleep in Wang Xifeng's yard. She has sunburned a lot these days, and it seems that she has suffered a lot.

When the old men and women rushed to the gate of the old house in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian happened to be in the main hall listening to the headman report on the cleaning of the main courtyard. The old men and women had just entered the door, and no one needed to be notified. Jia Lian saw it at a glance, and hurried Come up to say hello.

"Jia Lian pays respects to all the grandparents, grandparents, are you here to inquire about Lian'er's father?" Jia Lian politely bowed, and the old ladies in the next room saw him for the second time, but they still had to go from above. Take a closer look.

The last time they saw Jia Lian, everyone only remembered Jia Lian's sloppy and decadent body. Although they also felt that the child was filial and felt sorry for him, they didn't pay attention to it after all, and they didn't come to comfort him afterwards.

It's no wonder that they looked down on Jia Lian, but Jia Lian's reputation was not that much better than Jia She's. He was young and couldn't afford anything, but he was greedy for sex and money, and ruined his good looks for nothing. Therefore, even though he was also granted an official position, the official position was still higher than that of the second political master, and several old masters and old ladies still really didn't pay attention to him.

Taking a closer look now, Jia Lian, who is well-proportioned and still a little shallow in stature, looks more energetic and walks with some prestige, he looks like a son of an aristocratic family.

The third old man had a loving smile on his face, stroked his beard and nodded, "Well, where is your father? What's the meaning of the coffin a while ago? Feeling that you father and son have joined forces to play a bunch of people!"

Jia Lian hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Please don't blame the grandparents. My father was also injured by an arrow and had to do something else. Now that my father just rested, Lian'er went to ask for instructions. I think my father is still awake. on."

"Not busy, Lian'er, tell me how your father's injuries are?" The third old master is not the kind of person who drags people out of bed, as long as he knows that Jia She is safe and sound, as long as he is safe and sound, their old Jia There is still hope at home.

These days, very old ladies and gentlemen are under a lot of pressure, and they are inevitably very tired. Once they relax, their legs are weak and they can't straighten up. They don't want to stand up and talk at all.

How could the fifth old man hold back the firecracker tube, and frowned and complained, "Third brother, let's stand at the door and ask the third brother what's the point. Hurry up and have a cup of tea and rest. It's serious. After sitting in the car for a while, Fifth brother, my waist is going to be broken."

"It's Lian'er's fault. The main hall has been tidied up. Grandparents please take a seat. Lian'er has already gone to inform the eldest lady, but the backyard of the main hall has not been cleaned. I'm afraid there is no way to bring a few grandmothers with me." Go rest in the backyard."

"It's okay, they are all old, and they are all their own flesh and blood, so there is no need to worry so much." The third old lady smiled and waved to Jia Lian, "It is said that our Jiangnan has good feng shui, why don't our family raise such I don’t know what kind of boy Baoyu is that your old lady always talks about.”

Jia Lian pursed his lips, but still smiled and said, "Baoyu is only 7 years old now, and she looks like a lucky baby beside the old lady. If the third grandmother sees it, she will be happy too."

"You're still raising a child at the age of 7? Is this a girl or a boy?" The fifth old man rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "If you want me to say that Baoyu's name is not good, the boys in the family come according to their seniority, and he is the only one." People are exceptions, and I don’t know what they think.”

The fifth old man was straightforward, and just after the third old lady had finished saying that Baoyu was good, he just satirized him back, so as not to make the third old lady look bad, and was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer the words.

The third old lady glared at her, knowing that the relationship between the two families is not good and still mentioning this, isn't she asking for guilt?Didn't you see that the elders didn't call the second child out to meet the guests, but just asked Jia Lian to accompany them?

The third old lady, who had no eyesight, curled her lips and felt a little dissatisfied. She usually wanted to say something at home, but in front of the grandson Jia Lian, she still needed to watch her words!What's the point?The three of them are also from the same line, but they didn't get the title.

"Lian'er, please tell me about your father's injury." The third old man coughed and changed the topic.

"Father's injury is not serious, but he was hit hard by the arrow and his blood is not smooth. After a month of care, there will be no problems. There are no more difficulties along the way, and he arrived in Jinling safely."

"Well, your father hasn't traveled much, so it's rare to be able to go back to Jinling by land and hide his name this time, but grandfather has something to tell you, you are a family anyway, and the family can't make too much trouble, so as not to make trouble People make fun of our Jia family brothers for fighting against the wall." The third old man sighed while talking.

This matter can only be wronged by the big house, the big house occupies the title, and now it occupies a high official position, they get more, a little grievance, and support the Jia family together, that is the real good thing.

Now there is a Jiangsu governor, a Yangzhou prefect, plus a Yangzhou Tongzhi and Xunyan censor. Apart from military power and military power, most of the regime in Jiangnan will be in the hands of their Jia family. One can imagine how many benefits will be lost. Here, those members of the Zhen family might be so angry that they would vomit blood for three liters after hearing the news.

Jia Lian's face froze for a moment, but he kept his father's words in mind and did not show dissatisfaction in front of others. They still needed help from these people, so they should be respectful.

Seeing that he was obedient and obedient, the third old lady was not so upset, and said with a smile.

"There are currently three real-time officials in your family. Although your second uncle's official position is lower than yours, you have to respect him well. I don't know about the other things. Your second uncle has always been good at writing, and he is more honored than your father and son in the civil service world." It’s cheaper, and with his help, you don’t need to worry too much when you’re new here.”

"..." Jia Lian really never thought that after his father came back, this group of grandparents would be able to slap them in the face like this.

What does it mean that newcomers don't need to worry too much, are they the ones who should be worried about in Jiangnan official circles?Standing behind the second uncle is the big beile master, standing behind them is the fourth beile master, the crown prince, what do they mean by making offerings to the second uncle?

"Why, do you think what I said, the third old lady, is wrong?" This tone was angry again.

The fifth old man couldn't bear to wipe his mouth again.

"Third sister-in-law didn't I say you, look at you, it's embarrassing to talk and keep quiet in other people's houses, I asked you to let your wife do you like to listen? This is not self-deception! What else is we honored?" Can't compare to those sour talents who become officials? His father is the governor of Jiangsu, a first-class high-ranking official in the entire Jiangnan, do you know that there is someone on his head who is good at being an official? Except for the Zhen family, who is more powerful than his father in Jiangnan now? It's funny to rely on his second uncle, he'll be fine if his second uncle doesn't kill him."

The fourth old man next to him nodded, "I also have the same reasoning, who said we still look forward to the harmony of their Rongguo Mansion family, but now the form is different, we must only choose one of the two sides, the crown prince or the big Belle! The two of you are fighting to the death and you can't let us both please."

Nine old masters nodded, "I also agree with this, but I think it's more promising to hang out with that kid She'er, don't forget what She'er did in the palace back then, it almost broke the sky, otherwise you would be killed His father is completely detained?"

"Are you mocking my ignorance with your words?" The three old ladies rolled their eyes in extreme displeasure, "I don't care what you do outside, just one thing, their old lady is the super-rank order of their Rongguo Mansion, and their whole Everyone in the house should respect you."

Jia Lian was very speechless in his heart. The three old ladies seemed to be in the same way as his ancestors. They all wanted power and status, and they wanted to have a lot of face in front of their own family. Therefore, the old man was right to use the old lady. He was filial to the old lady. , can indeed save a lot of trouble.

Jia Lian made a deep bow to the three old ladies, "I'm afraid the third grandmother doesn't know, the master thinks that he attaches great importance to the old ancestor, knowing that the old ancestor loves the second uncle, so he let the second uncle live in Rongxitang for the convenience of taking care of him. I can’t go to pay my respects when I’m sick, but I still keep sending melons, fruits and snacks to my ancestors every day, no one in the capital knows that the old man is extremely filial.”

The faces of the three old ladies stagnated, and they seemed to be getting more and more angry, "Your elders are filial, how many of you are younger? Knowing that your old lady loves your second son, how do you treat your second uncle? Relying on your own How capable, but don't worry about etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame, we've been sitting here for half a day, and you haven't seen you go to inform your second uncle, what's the matter, don't you want your second uncle to come out to meet guests?"

"Third grandmother..."

"Don't forget who brought you up, and who raised you up to look like you are now." The third old lady didn't give Jia Lian a chance to defend herself, and decided to give Jia Lian a disrespectful uncle title.

She is quite majestic, and the faces of the others are ugly.Jia Lian had just been given the title of magistrate of Yangzhou, and the Zhen family was really worried that they would not be able to catch him, but their own family was fine, so they didn't want money to send him up.

"Whoever raised it was naturally raised by our Elder Master. The third grandmother must not forget that the Xijue of Rongguo Mansion is our Elder Master Pardon, and the Second Master is a temporary brother."

Later, Mrs. Xing came out with a cold face and said, "Lian'er and I are all juniors here, but to be fair, we have to say that our eldest master Lian and the second master also worked hard for the sake of the entire Jia family. When you come back from the capital, in front of your family, do you need to convict him face to face like this?"

"What are you..." How could the third old lady have a crush on the daughter of Xing, the ninth-rank sesame official, and immediately threw off the quilt and pointed at Xing's nose and wanted to scold her. There are really few people in Jinling who can give it to her. From the face of her face, at least the Xing family is not qualified.

The third old man's face was gloomy and embarrassed, he dropped the cup and slapped it hard, "Enough."

"Grandpa, why do you..."

"Sit down! Shut up." The third old master didn't even look at her, but smiled at Mrs. Xing, "Sit down, pardon my daughter-in-law, we are all a family, we should be amicable."

"Our master used to say the same thing. He and the second master actually have a good relationship, but now the disparity in official positions makes it inevitable that the two brothers will have some grievances. After a long time, it will be nothing. Don't worry too much." Xing found a position Sitting down, she signaled Jia Lian to come to her, "After all, Lian'er is young, and she has to rely on the old ladies and gentlemen for many things."

"Did Xie Er tell you about the future regulations?" The fifth old man didn't care about the sudden madness of the third old lady, he just wanted to see that bastard Jia Shen earlier, to see what plans he had in the future, and how he planned to get rid of them The Jia family flourished.

"The master said to worship the ancestors first, and then discuss the matter with the historians, and report to the Yamen after five days. He has heard a lot of news along the way, and he has some understanding of the current situation in Jinling, so you don't have to worry about his birthplace. Familiar." Mrs. Xing answered neither humble nor overbearing, and her appearance was more on stage than the other old ladies.

The Ninth Old Master smashed his mouth, looked at Lian Er's sitting upright posture, couldn't help grinning, and was a little curious about what the legendary old dude looked like.

But thinking about it, there should be a big gap with the rumors, otherwise how can the people taught have such a bit of tolerance?He didn't believe that the daughter of a petty official could develop such a bearing, even in Rongguo Mansion, it was useless.

"Historians? Why don't you consider the Jia family first?" The eighth old lady frowned deeply, "There are more children from the Jia family than historians, and there are only so many official positions in the south of the Yangtze River. How can we let outsiders take advantage of it?"

Not to mention Jia Lian, the Xing family has a tendency to roll their eyes. Everyone here doesn't pay attention to their big house at all, they just want to share a piece of the pie. A few days ago, the elder pardon died, and this group of people even came to greet him He didn't make a sound, instead he greeted the second master, and now he came to the door one after another.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Xing was also very tired!Fortunately, the old man taught her how to answer.

"The old man meant that he was going to choose people when he worshiped the ancestors. He said that people's demeanor can be seen from their faces. Those who are crooked and cunning naturally cannot be officials. The rest of them You have to test your teaching ability yourself."

"Hey, what ability can he have on his own? It's not just by climbing high branches." The third old lady muttered, but her voice was not low.

"Then what happened to our Jia's family that was arrested and chopped down a while ago?" The fifth old man couldn't help but asked, although it was not very good to ask at the moment, he knew it in his heart, but his family was chopped down several times. , I was arrested several times, so I am anxious.

"The master also said that he would go and redeem those people himself. As for the matter of revenge later, I wrote a list of revenge, and he will follow suit." After Xing said, he didn't speak again, Jia Lian I was angry and didn't want to speak, the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Seeing them like this, the three old ladies felt more and more dissatisfied. This was a shame, and they were really uneducated. One or two of them did not respect their elders. Just like the boss, he knows how to put on an appearance, but he is a treacherous villain inside.

The other elders looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that the scene today was a bit strange, how could one or two of them start to be abnormal?Offending their family, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future. God knows whether Jia She is a big-hearted or a small-minded one.

In the end, it was only for Jia Zheng, so why come to him and convict him?My father just came back.
