"The imperial decree has arrived!..."

Within a day, two imperial edicts were sent, one to Jia She's Mansion who had separated from his family, and the other to the Rongguo Mansion on Ningrong Street.

As a female family member, Wang Xifeng has no right to listen to the imperial decree in person, so she only stays with Mrs. Xing, waiting for the person in front to pass on the message.I don't want to, the steward or maid who didn't wait for the message came, but an unexpected person came.

Cong Er.

"Cong'er has met his wife and grandma."

In the big house, the most unfavored and easily overlooked was never Yingchun, who was originally a concubine, but Cong'er, whose biological mother was unknown.To say that the biological mother is unknown is not to say that there is something wrong with Cong'er's origin, but because until now, no one remembers who his biological mother is, even if he is only seven years old after the new year, no one remembers the seven years After giving birth to him before, the concubine Ji who was driven away by Jia She overnight.No one even asked about the reason why Jia She kicked him out. He only said that he didn't like that concubine Ji, and he didn't like Cong'er that concubine Ji gave birth to.But even so, the members of the Dafang never treated him harshly.Of course, ignoring is indispensable.

"It's Cong'er? Oh, I see. It was your Lian's second elder brother who asked you to accept the imperial decree with him? What did they say?" Wang Xifeng soon came to her senses. , quite disrespectful, so he had to drag Cong'er to make up the numbers.

Speaking of receiving the imperial decree, there was one time in Rongguo Mansion a few years ago, and it was said that everything would be removed, an incense table would be set up, and the middle gate would be opened to welcome.The problem is that their mansion is newly built, so everything can only be kept simple, and the main hall has become a mourning hall for Jia She's coffin, so the imperial edict can only be received in the front courtyard.

It's snowing heavily, and you have to kneel down to receive the order. Thinking about it, it's not easy.

When Wang Xifeng was thinking about it, Cong'er opened his mouth.In fact, although he has always been treated as a child, even though he is already seven years old, even if he has never been able to study well, it is not a problem to learn a few words.

"The imperial decree says that our master will still be buried with the title of first-class general, but it will not be hereditary in the future. It is also said that the second brother Lian has been granted the post of Wai Lang, a member of the fifth-rank industry department, but the second brother Lian seems a little scared When it arrived, she kept pushing but didn't say anything, and now she went to the palace with the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree." Cong'er's words were simple, but Wang Xifeng and Madam Xing were very surprised.

Before Jia She died, he had already written the letter of giving up the title, but the problem is that there has never been such a precedent for giving up the title in this dynasty since ancient times.Like the historians, Shi Xiangyun's father died young and he had no son to inherit the title, so the title of Marquis of Baoling was passed on to Shi Nai, the second master of the historian.But Jia Amnesty had sons, not only his legitimate son and concubine, but also a young grandson.This is both emotional and reasonable, the title is not his brother Jia Zheng's turn.To put it bluntly, even if the title is won directly today, it will not be Jia Zheng's turn!

However, Wang Xifeng was still mentally prepared for the title being masturbated. The problem is...

What the hell is Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry of the fifth grade? !

"Brother Feng, how do I remember that the second master of politics is this position? Or did I misremember? Otherwise, there are many people in this position? Or is it just a coincidence?" Mrs. Xing passed away in vain because of Jia She, although not immediately. Break down, but the mental head has not been very good.At this moment, she was also leaning on the couch sickly, until she heard that Cong'er was promoted to the official position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and she came back to her senses.

"I don't remember very clearly what happened in the officialdom. However, I guess it must not be a coincidence. Come to think of it, even if the Second Master of Political Affairs has never been prosecuted and punished afterwards, this official has managed to do well." Wang Xifeng sneered, She wasn't happy about it, if Jia She's death resulted in Jia Zheng's bumpy official career, it wouldn't be worth it!

"Okay, at last I will teach them a lesson, the best thing is that they will not be able to enter the official career again!" Compared to Wang Xifeng's ruthlessness, Mrs. Xing is obviously much weaker.In fact, as someone who knew the truth from beginning to end, Mrs. Xing lacked confidence. She never even thought of making Jia Zheng pay for his life. good thing.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng raised a mocking smile.

Maybe other people don't know the whole story, but as a daughter of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng has learned the truth from her natal father and brother a lot.When Jia Zheng was young, he also had a good reputation for being diligent, studious and talented. Of course, how much he weighed is unknown to outsiders.But the problem is that when Jia Zheng was crowned, he lost his name in the imperial examination for the first time.It's all right if that's the case, after all, apart from talent, the imperial examination requires the right time and place. Many important officials in the court didn't get their names on the gold list in one dynasty.If Sun Shan lost his name for the first time, then he will fight again next time.

However, for Jia Zheng, there is no next time at all.To be honest, the imperial examination was really hard work. It took three days and three nights to take the exam, and even eating and drinking in a small shabby room.Although Jia Zheng is in good health, he was raised by a young man, so how could he suffer such hardships?Just one time is enough to make him daunted by the imperial examination.

What happened after that was no secret to outsiders. Before his death, Jia Daishan insisted on asking the sage for an official position for his second son, Jia Zheng.It was also fortunate that the Supreme Emperor was in power at that time, and in consideration of Jia Daishan's many contributions, Jia was specially granted the post of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Political Affairs.Although this position is only a fifth-rank official, you must know that even the title of the gold list is only from the seventh-rank sesame official. If you are a poor scholar, you will have to work hard for at least ten years before you can be lucky enough to become a fifth-rank official.

Mrs. Xing knew that Jia Daishan was seeking an official position for Jia Zheng, but she didn't know the twists and turns.Wang Xifeng simply explained the matter briefly, and pointed out that with Jia Zheng's ability, if he hadn't been promoted by a sage, he might not even be a scholar in his life!

"By the way, come here, Xiaohong."

Because there are many things ahead, although Yingchun is watching over the back, but it is related to her own flesh and blood, Wang Xifeng really doesn't have such a big heart, so most of the time, she let Zijuan watch from behind, but she will take care of the little one. Hong promoted to the front.At this moment, Wang Xifeng called Xiaohong over, whispered something to her, and sent her away.Seeing this, Mrs. Xing was neither curious nor questioned, but told Cong'er to go back and rest first.

But now Xiaohong is walking through Chaoshou verandah, going straight ahead, and only after finding her father, Lin Zhixiao, did she tell Wang Xifeng what she told her.After everything was settled, she returned the same way.

In Jia Amnesty's Mansion, the acceptance of the imperial decree is still very high.Although Jia Lian felt extremely uneasy about the inexplicable granting of an official position to him today, he would not have a rebellious mentality anyway.At most, they want to push out the official position, and they have repeatedly stated that they are really not the material to be an official.

But compared to Jia Lian who was only distressed at this time, Rongguo Mansion was much more tragic.

It was also a decree, Jia Lian, at any rate in Jia She's mansion, was able to come out to take charge of the affairs, and then he pulled a Cong'er to make up the number. Although it looked deserted, there was nothing wrong with it.On the other hand, in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng is still in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jia Zhu died young, and Jia Lan is too young to serve as a foil.As for Jia Baoyu...

Not to mention.

After tossing around, Mrs. Wang could only order people to quickly invite the father and son of the Ningguo Mansion, with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong as the head, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan as the foil, and finally accepted the imperial edict without any mistakes. down.However, this imperial decree made Rongguo Mansion, which was already tainted with gloom, even more dull and even desperate.

In Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang was sitting alone on the kang in the side room. Even though it was already past the time to light the lamps, the room was still pitch black.Because Mrs. Wang didn't speak, even though the maids below wanted to light the lamp, none of them dared to stand up.Of course, there is also a part of the reason for this, because Mrs. Wang's confidantes have been wiped out long ago. Although there is still no shortage of servants in the Rongguo Mansion at this moment, none of them can speak to Mrs. Wang. .

After a long time, Mrs. Wang suddenly said, "Call everyone here."

Lai everyone rushed to Rongxi Hall soon, regardless of Mrs. Wang's previous status in the mansion, just talk about the present.Jia Zheng went in, but I don't know when he will come out; Jia Mu fell ill, and I don't know when she will recover; Wang Ziteng is now in full swing in the court...

The servants of the Rongguo Mansion are very good at judging the situation. It took almost a day or two, and the whole mansion showed an attitude of looking forward to Mrs. Wang.

"Greetings to my wife." Everyone Lai is not too young. She had her grandson in her arms the year before last. When she returned home, she was also a wife, but she was very capable of doing things. When she saw Mrs. Wang, she knelt down Delicious, with a flattering smile, although he looks a little spineless, how can a master like a servant with spine?

"Except for our family, has the imperial decree been obtained?"

"If you go back to your wife, you can get it over there." The imperial decree was issued after noon, Lai Da waited for the father-in-law who passed the decree to leave, and immediately went outside to inquire about the news, so naturally he would not miss the news from the mansion over there.It's just that some things are really difficult to say, so Madam Wang didn't ask, so no one came up to say it. But now that Madam Wang asked, everyone naturally couldn't continue to hide it.

"Say."

"The imperial decree obtained by the mansion is a bit strange. It said that the title of Master She was exempted, and that he was still buried as a first-class general, and it was specifically mentioned that he was awarded to the second master of Lian... an official position. .”

"Didn't you say what the official position is? How high?"

Everyone Lai's mouth was full of bitterness, but Mrs. Wang asked so detailedly, she couldn't pretend to be stupid, so she had no choice but to say: "I heard that he is a member of the Fifth Grade Industry Department, Wailang."

Mrs. Wang stood up abruptly, her face full of disbelief.Seeing this, everyone Lai couldn't help being a little apprehensive, outsiders may not know Mrs. Wang's methods, everyone Lai has stayed in the Rongguo Mansion all his life, how can he not understand the thoughts of living a bodhisattva on the face and living the king of Hades in his heart?Only when Mrs. Wang took the anger out on her, Lai everyone hastily added another sentence, saying: "It is said that the second master Lian resigned."

In addition to the appreciation from above, being an official is also a matter of one's own volition.Regardless of the specifics here, as long as Jia Lian refuses, the official position will basically be lost.After all, it is absolutely impossible to force someone to be an official nowadays.

However, Lai's words did not comfort Mrs. Wang.In fact, the effect was just the opposite. Mrs. Wang was just shocked, but now she was full of resentment.

"Resigned? It's a good thing that others can't even ask for, but he, a yellow-mouthed kid, actually declined? Hmph, it would be great if the superiors punished him for disrespect and sent him directly to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

Everyone Lai bowed his head decisively and pretended to be dead. What a joke, the superior gave a reward, and the refusal was just a scene.If the superior insisted on insisting on the reward, Jia Lian would not dare to say more after he refused.On the other hand, if the superior was probing in the name of a reward, then Jia Lian would be able to decline the reward smoothly by doing so.No matter what the result is, it is absolutely impossible to convict Jia Lian today.

...Hehe, because he didn't want to be an official, he was thrown directly into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?If he really did this now, then he can't even be called a faint king, he can only be a fool!

"Did the old lady know?" After a while, Mrs. Wang calmed down and asked, "Did someone tell you?"

"Not ever." Everyone Lai replied in a low voice, but he said in his heart, who has the guts to touch Jia Mu's bad luck?It's nothing more than a beating, if Jia's mother doesn't come up in one breath, wouldn't the whole family's life be filled in?

"Go back, I'll go to Rongqing Hall."

Mrs. Wang didn't look down on everyone, she didn't even bother to change her clothes, so she went straight to Rongqing Hall.At this point, Mother Jia should have rested on weekdays, but Mrs. Wang seemed to be ignorant, and just followed her own mind, and directly broke into Mother Jia's room, but was stopped by Yuanyang: "Madam, Mrs. My wife took the medicine and fell asleep."

"Go and wake her up." Mrs. Wang said coldly, but she no longer forced to enter the inner room, but sat directly on the chair outside, and urged, "Hurry up! Don't make me say it a third time .”

Yuanyang took a deep look at Mrs. Wang, with mixed emotions in her heart, but finally followed Mrs. Wang's order, and went into the inner room to wake up Jia Mu who had just fallen asleep.After giving Jia Mu a brief wash, Yuanyang came out again to invite Mrs. Wang to come in for a detailed talk, and at the same time mentioned cryptically, filial piety.

"Huh, the old lady has a good maid." Mrs. Wang sneered, and walked towards Jia Mu's inner room, but when she arrived in the inner room, she neither saluted nor greeted her, but said coldly, " Old lady, someone came to the palace during the day, and issued a special decree that our master has been dismissed from office, and he will never be hired. Also, the order of the wife of the super-pin country on you is gone. Of course, my The five-rank orders are all gone. Our family has lost even an official body. By the way, there is the most important thing. We have been given three days now. After three days, someone from the palace will come to take it away. Go to Rongguo Mansion."

After all, Mrs. Wang left the inner room without looking back, and she didn't even give Jia Mu alms.

After a while, Yuanyang's cries sounded, and at the same time, she shouted eagerly: "Go and call the doctor! No, no, call the imperial doctor, the old lady is vomiting blood! Go!"

However, there is no doctor.There are doctors, even if the Rongguo Mansion is about to cease to exist, there is still no shortage of money.So within half an hour, Lai Da hurried over with the doctor.The doctor only looked at it, and then diagnosed that Jia Mu was vomiting blood and fainted because of her anxiety.If she is still young, there is still hope for such a condition, but Mother Jia is already very old. First, she was deeply grieved because of Jia She's death, and then she was very anxious because Jia Zheng was arrested. Her knowing blow directly led to the current consequences.

Mother Jia had a stroke.

The doctor prescribed a bunch of prescriptions, most of which are rich and expensive Taifang.The so-called Taifang means that it is absolutely impossible to eat, but the available medicines are extremely expensive, and the effect is extremely slow. Usually, it takes one or two years to slowly show the effect.

Yuanyang doesn't understand medical theory, but she can read and write. At first glance, they are all expensive medicinal materials. She thinks that the prescription is good, so she handed it to the housekeeper Lai, and asked him to go to the warehouse to get the medicine.In the end, Lai Da told her that due to the separation of the family, the warehouse was empty.That's all, Mrs. Wang is the one who holds the key to the warehouse now, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to open the warehouse.Yuanyang also knew what Lai Da said was the truth, and recalled that Mrs. Wang had disregarded Jia Mu's body and told all the things in a daze, and she couldn't help but secretly hate.After thinking about it again and again, Yuanyang simply opened Jiamu's private treasury, took the money from Jiamu's private house and gave it to Lai Da, but told him to get the medicine quickly, and when Jiamu recovered from illness, it would be his own benefit.

It's a pity that these words can't coax the mature Lai Da.

After leaving the Hanging Flower Gate of Rongqing Hall, Lai Da only called his daughter-in-law and whispered this for a while, then Lai Da went outside the second gate, and Lai Da went to Rongxi Hall again.It didn't take long for Jia's mother to be paralyzed due to a stroke, and word spread in Rongguo Mansion.At the moment, everyone knows that the family is about to change. Naturally, as servants, they should also choose a bright future for themselves.

in the palace.

It has only been two months since she was conferred the title of Concubine Xiande, but accidents happened repeatedly in her natal family.First the family was separated, then the Lin family property, and finally Jia Zheng was imprisoned, and the entire Rongguo Mansion was ordered to move out within three days...

All of this is like a long-sleeping nightmare.

As for Concubine Xiande, it was like this.

"Baoqin, tell me, can the Rongguo Mansion still be saved?" Because it was still in the first month, the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun wore elegant and luxurious clothes every day, but unfortunately, there was no trace of joy on her face.Thanks to today's benevolence, she can call Mrs. Wang into the palace to meet every month.Although the meeting time is not long each time, and there are only two chances every month, in any case, for Jia Yuanchun, who spent the first ten years alone in the palace, life is very good now .

It's a pity that the so-called good days are just passing by.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, our family has always been very kind, but now we just encountered some small problems. If you think about it, with the ability of the master and wife, it will be settled soon. At that time, the family will build another beautiful Dayuanzi, ma'am, you can go back to your mother's house to have a look."

Baoqin is the servant girl brought out by the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun from the Rongguo Mansion. She grew up with her as a child, and entered the palace with her.In the past ten years, only Baoqin has been by her side.The name is master and servant, but in fact he is the closest person to the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun.But that's the case, you can't say anything to Baoqin.

Sighing silently, Jia Yuanchun stretched out his hand to touch his heart, where the beating was extremely violent, but it was not joyful, but uneasy.

Rongguo Mansion has been established for nearly a hundred years, and Jia Yuanchun, who has lived in the mansion since he was a child, has been accustomed to it.She thought that Rongguo Mansion would still be like this in the future, until that day when she was sent into the palace.

In the palace, it was not as beautiful as she imagined, and the emperor never looked at her.The family background and appearance that she was once proud of are so insignificant in this deep palace backyard.A beautiful woman is picturesque, and she has to meet someone who can appreciate it, but unfortunately, she has never met it.If you can't meet it, you can only create it yourself.Relying on the small amount of secrets grasped by the Rongguo Mansion, she successfully fell in love with the third prince, and not long after the third prince ascended the throne, she became a virtuous concubine admired by everyone.

How enviable, since the establishment of the dynasty, she is the first one to have two titles with the words "Joyful". She is even more honored than the imperial concubine and the queen.

……Really?

If she is really one of a kind, why did her natal family become like that?It's just that they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and the first room and the second room have become incompatible existences.That's all right, at the beginning of the left and right, Erfang won. If Erfang can now sit in the Rongguo Mansion, it will not do any harm to her.However, in the end, she was greatly disappointed. How could His Majesty issue such a ruthless imperial decree?

"Baoqin, do you still remember what His Majesty said today?" Sitting decadently on the gorgeous beauty's couch, Jia Yuanchun's face was full of bitterness.Baoqin remained silent, but Jia Yuanchun became more and more sad.

She remembered clearly that His Majesty was standing here, in front of her, and said with a frosty face: Mrs. Shi Shi, the wife of Rongguo Mansion, is not kind...

In vain to be a mother! !
