Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Tang Xi buried her head in Jia She's arms in shame, "I like it."

What she likes is not the jewelry Jia She sent, but the meaning contained in this set of jewelry.

That night Jia She got his wish and stayed in the inner room.

The life of the young couple has returned to the old pattern of mixing oil with honey, but whenever Jia pardons the holidays, there are only the two of them left in the house.

Midsummer was scorching, and at the end of the month, Jia Zheng finally arrived in the capital.

Ding Fu took people to the pier to pick him up, first went to see the old lady and the old lady, then Jia Zheng went back to rest in the three small main rooms on the east side of Rongxi Hall.

Early the next morning, Jia Zheng came to the East Courtyard.

When Wan Qing came in to report, Jia Amnesty let Tang Xi eat first, and he went to see Jia Zheng in the study.

"It's so early in the morning, why did you come here?" Jia Amnesty asked the servants to serve tea.

Jia Zheng looked at his elder brother, full of complaints, "Brother, what are you talking about, my wife told me about the application period just after I came back, and I pushed you on the head, but the wife said you mentioned it to her, brother, You promised to help me, why do you..."

Talking doesn't count!

Jia Amnesty held up the tea ceremony, "It's halfway through the six ceremonies between you and the girl from the Wang family, and now it's just a question day. What are you in a hurry for? I don't want you to go to the Wang family to marry the girl from the Wang family right now."

"..." Jia Zheng was dumbfounded.

After being silent for a while, Jia Zheng didn't bother with this question any more, and instead asked, "I heard that the eldest sister promised to be the second master of the Xie family? Has the eldest brother seen anyone? How is his character and temperament? Is it worth entrusting him for life?"

"I've seen him before, and I can't see anything good or bad for the time being, but he's quite afraid of me, so that's enough, as long as our family doesn't fall down, he won't dare to neglect the eldest sister, you just put your heart at ease. "

Jia Zheng now trusts his elder brother very much. After the elder brother said this, he didn't ask any more questions, "How many months is sister-in-law?"

"It's been four months, counting the days, it will probably be in November," Jia She said, thinking of something, and laughing, "Speaking of... second brother, your birthday is also in November, right?"

"It's a coincidence." Jia Zheng laughed.

Jia She took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and said, "I haven't congratulated my second brother on passing the county and government exams. How about it? Do you have confidence in the college exam next year?"

"If I hadn't gone to Jiangnan for a school tour, I wouldn't have confidence. Now, it's just a college exam. It's not a problem for me, but the ranking may not be high." He can indeed read, but there are thousands of people in the world who can read I don't know how many, it is already a big deal for him to pass the exam, after all, he has not yet reached the weak crown.

Jia She said with a smile, "You are young, and most of the Tongsheng you will refer to with you are older people, even if the ranking is not high, there is no shame in it."

"Don't worry, brother, I don't care about this." Jia Zheng said.

After chatting for a while, Jia Amnesty asked, "Are you going to study in Jiangnan this year?"

"Of course, the college entrance examination will be next year. Although I'm sure I'll pass it, it would be better if I get a higher ranking." Jia Zheng replied without hesitation.

Jia She hummed, thought for a while, and said, "You can listen to your wife about the appointment date. After all, my wife also wishes you well. You will be [-] next year, and it is time to get married. If you evade your wife, you should Annoyed."

Jia Zheng frowned, "I..."

"After all, the date of marriage is set after the hospital exam, and it won't delay your exam. Why bother with your wife? You can't delay your marriage with the girl from the Wang family. If it continues, there will be criticisms from the Wang family. The wife is caught in the middle of it." You are no longer young, you should think about your wife."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng swallowed the words on his lips, fell silent for a while, and sighed, "I see."

Jia Amnesty got up and patted Jia Zheng's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Take the exam well, and don't respect your second brother like you in the future, otherwise the master will be mad at you."

Hearing Jia Amnesty mention Jia Jing from the East Mansion, Jia Zheng raised his head and asked, "Second Brother Jing, why did you want to seek immortality and ask? There is no sign at all."

"It's not that there are no signs at all." Jia She shook his head and said, "I met him a few times, and I felt that there was something wrong with him. It stands to reason that he passed the Jinshi examination and was elected to the Imperial Academy. Brother Jing should be proud of himself, but you think Think, after second elder brother Jing passed the Jinshi examination, has he become more indifferent to the world?"

After hearing this, Jia Zheng turned his head in thought, and after a long time there was a bit of surprise on his face, "Brother didn't mention it, I still can't remember it, it's really like this." After a pause, he frowned again and said, "But our family background Xungui, Brother Jing won the Jinshi examination, so he really shouldn't make too much publicity..."

"It's one thing not to make publicity, but another thing to stand aloof from the world." Jia She interrupted Jia Zheng's words, "Once when I went out, I ran into Niu Jizong and the others, and Second Brother Jing from Dongfu happened to be there too. Swapping cups and changing cups, chatting loudly, Second Brother Jing sat quietly on the side without saying a word, not drinking, like a monk sitting in meditation, I felt strange at that time, but there were Niu Jizong and the others Now, I don't have time to think about it, but now that I think about it, before that, he probably had the thought of seeking immortality and asking questions, but he didn't dare to act rashly because his uncle was suppressing him. After the Lantern Festival this year, uncle Tang's body will heal On an errand, Second Brother Jing secretly went to the Taoist temple, bringing Mrs. Li with him, but the East Mansion only has Uncle Tang with one foot in the ground and Zhener who is still young, it is really absurd!"

Although Uncle Dongfutang's health has long since collapsed, and he was just struggling at the beginning of the year, and he had already made preparations for his funeral, but he can barely survive for another ten and a half months, and it will go so suddenly, sometimes Most of the reasons are on Jia Jing.

When he came back from Dongfu that day, he didn't know what Uncle Dongfu Tang said to Brother Jing before he died, but looking at the final result, Jia Jing was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall for three years, so he knew what Uncle Tang said before he died.The admonition could not save anything, otherwise Uncle Dongfutang would not risk ruining Jia Jing's official career and make Jia Jingxiao kneel in the ancestral hall.

You know, since ancient times, filial piety has been used to rule the world.

Jia Jing was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall during the filial piety period, and he could not guard his father's coffin. His filial piety was flawed. If he wanted to become an official, he would be watched by the censor.

It is impossible for Jia Daihua not to know the consequences of punishing Jia Jing to kneel in the ancestral hall, but he still did so.

Obviously, Jia Daihua knew that Jia Jing's temperament could not be reversed. After his death, Jia Jing would desperately seek immortality and ask, and the title of Dongfu would fall on the head of the young Jia Zhen. I don't know what to do if I don't have my father to control me. I don't even need to think about it. Will there still be Ningguo Mansion in this capital after a hundred years?

What Jia Daihua did before his death was not indecisive. He entrusted Jia Zhen to the upbringing of his cousin, punished him by kneeling and grounded him, which directly cut off the possibility of the couple restraining Jia Zhen with filial piety. After being educated, Ningguo Mansion will still rise one day, but if it is handed over to Jia Jing, who is dedicated to seeking immortals and asking questions, Ningguo Mansion will become the laughing stock of the capital within three years.

Jia Amnesty has never been to Dongfu since his uncle passed away.

This month, Second Brother Jing's wife, Li Shi, was released from the confinement. A few days ago, she came to Dongfu to get back the cards and account books of Dongfu from his wife, and the housekeeper right of Dongfu naturally returned to her.

Jia Amnesty also heard that Mrs. Li wanted to take Jia Zhen back, but failed, and she didn't even meet her face to face.

Jia Zhen now lives in the row of wing rooms in front of Rongqing Hall, and the martial artist invited by Jia Daishan also lives there together, teaching Jia Zhen martial arts every day, the purpose is obvious.

Jia Zhen is now in her teens, so she is obviously not a material for studying. Jia Daishan obviously intends to let Jia Zhen practice martial arts. In the future, she may be able to do something after learning it. If there is a war, she may be able to revive the East Mansion.

As for Jia Jing, Jia Daishan has obviously given up on saving him.

"It's a pity to respect the second brother." Jia Zheng sighed.

If Jia Jing put his mind on the right path, the Ningguo Mansion would still be prosperous for more than ten years; if he lived up to the spirit, the Jia clan might be able to change their families and become a family of scholars.

Jia She said calmly, "Second Brother Jing is not a fool. If he can pass the Jinshi exam, he would be a fool? He must have thought it over carefully to ask the immortal, otherwise Uncle Tang's death should have woken him up. "

Although Uncle Tang ordered him to kneel in the ancestral hall before he died, if he knew he was wrong, he should go to the wake. As for the three-year punishment, he only needs to kneel in the ancestral hall for three years. After the wake and funeral, it is not too late to kneel. With Jia Daishan watching, no one would dare to reveal the news of him kneeling in the ancestral hall.

Is he stupid?Choose to kneel in the ancestral hall during the wake?

Obviously he's not stupid, it's just that he has made a choice.

For this, Jia Amnesty was very angry. Uncle Tang exhausted his efforts to plan for him, but all of them were in vain.

He is not ashamed of Jia Jing's behavior, so Jia Jing has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for half a year, and Jia Amnesty has never visited him once, and he even pretends that there is no such person in the East Mansion.

Now that Jia Zheng has figured out his eldest brother's temper, he felt that his tone was not very good when he mentioned the second brother Jing of Dongfu, so he guessed that his eldest brother was already very dissatisfied with the second brother Jing of Dongfu, so he didn't intend to ask any more questions.

"My wife is still waiting for me to have dinner together, so I'll leave first. Brother, go and accompany sister-in-law." Jia Zheng said goodbye with a smile.

Jia Amnesty laughed and got up to see Jia Zheng off.

When he returned to the inner room, he saw that the meal hadn't been set yet. Jia Amnesty's heart warmed up, and he went to help Tang Xi sit down and asked someone to set the meal, "Next time if you have something to do, don't wait for me, you can eat first."

"It's boring to eat alone." Tang Xi said softly.

Jia She pursed his lips when he heard this, and said, "From now on, I will be on duty in the palace, so let the fourth sister come and eat with you."

"Don't you dislike her coming to me?" Tang Xi asked suspiciously.

Jia She couldn't laugh or cry, "She is my real sister, how can I really not like her coming to you? I just don't like her hanging around you for too long. Now that you are heavy, you need to rest more, or you will give birth later." It’s time to suffer greatly.”

When it came to giving birth, Tang Xi felt a little anxious, "Is it going to be difficult?"

Now thinking of dystocia, Tang Xi couldn't help but think of her aunt who died of dystocia.

Jia She put her arms around Tang Xi and comforted her, "No, no, as long as you rest more and take a few steps after dinner, the delivery will be smooth then, don't you believe me? When will I lie to you?" past you?"

Tang Xi snapped back without thinking, "Do you have experience in childbirth? How do you know that nothing will happen if you say so confidently?"

"..." Jia She was dumbfounded.

Where did he get his production experience?He does not have the function of giving birth to children.

Although he was bullied, Jia Amnesty didn't intend to go back. Pregnant women are always like this, and their temper comes when they say it. He has gotten used to it in the past few months.

After dinner, Jia Amnesty helped Tang Xi go to the garden.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you coming to visit the garden too?" Jia She helped Tang Xi, who was tired from walking, into the pavilion and sat down. Not long after, Jia Min ran in, lying on Tang Xi's lap and yelling.

Jia Amnesty pointed Jia Min away from Tang Xi, and said, "Don't touch your sister-in-law."

Children are not serious, what should I do if I hit them?

Jia Min glared at Jia She, "Brother is so bad! How disgusting!"

"Fourth sister also hates it!" The brat! !
