After seeing off the last guest, Jia Zheng and Wang felt a little sad. The time for relaxation had passed and they might have to return to the ancestral hall again.
It's really not a place for people to stay.
They haven't been bitten by mosquitoes in the past two days. It's not because Youshi took more care of them, but because she was afraid that mosquitoes would bite their faces and it was not a good day to entertain guests.
Now that the guests have been entertained, Mr. You probably won't be scented with so much moxa incense when he goes to the ancestral hall.
"Let's go and sit at the old lady's place!"
Jia She glanced at Zheng Er, the fool, and was the first to walk back.
Jia Zheng: "..."
He hasn't spoken to his eldest brother all day today, and now...
I don’t know why, but that look from my eldest brother just now made him panic!
He always felt like this bastard was going to beat him at his mother's place.
Over the years, he has been trying to beat him.
But because of his mother, not only did he not succeed, but he was always suppressed by him.
Today...
Jia Zheng's calves were spinning a little and he didn't want to go.
His mother was disappointed enough with him.
Treating him no longer like before.
Big brother tells him the mistake he made again...
Jia Zheng looked at Wang not far away.
Wang turned her head silently and went to the old lady first.
Besides punishing her in the ancestral hall, what else could they punish her with?
I can't divorce her anyway.
It was impossible for her to die of illness.
She has three children.
Her eldest daughter is going to marry Marquis Xinping, and her son is going to be an official examiner next year.
They are the Jia family. After her mother died, they still had to observe filial piety.
So whether it was the old lady, Mrs. Shen, or the boss who just came back today, the most they could do was scold her and let her live in the ancestral hall for a while longer.
After surviving the period of mosquitoes, the rest... is to live in a small Buddhist temple.
Wang felt that her situation would not get worse, so she walked calmly.
But Jia Zheng couldn't.
He could be in a worse situation than entering the ancestral hall.
He walked forward slowly.
But no matter how slow he is, he won't be able to reach the end of the world.
Sure enough, in the mother's courtyard, the servants and juniors all shunned, but Wang was already kneeling there.
Jia Zheng felt even more ashamed when he saw that there were two younger sisters in the room today, but it was obvious that the boss would not let him go. He...
Jia Zheng walked a few steps quickly and knelt down not far from Wang.
He really hated this old woman.
"Mother~"
Jia Zheng's voice was full of sorrow, and his eyes were full of pleading, as if he was begging his mother to let him go.
Jia Mu: "..."
What could she say?
Mrs. Wang came over and knelt down there without saying anything.
She wanted her to have a few words with Jia Ku. If Min'er could help, with Jia Ku's past cleverness, this matter might be over today.
The old lady sighed softly in her stomach and looked at the big boy.
"Mother~"
When Jia She saw his second brother kneeling down, he also lifted up his robe and knelt down, "My son sued the Wang family in the court today in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court."
Wang's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. She turned to look at Jia She, her lips trembling, "Brother, even if you don't look at me, Zhu'er and Yuanchun, you still have to look at Feng'er and Lian'er, right? ”
This Rongguo Mansion has an inseparable relationship with their Wang family.
"Old lady, are you trying to force Feng'er and I to die like this?"
Mrs. Wang held the handkerchief, covered her face and cried, "I will die if I die, but what about my Yuanchun, Zhuer and Baoyu?"
"Who forced you to die?"
Jia She really wanted the Wang family to die, but he felt sorry for his niece and nephew, "Mom, Wang Ziteng refused to admit my accusation and insisted on letting me and the Lan family get evidence. My son couldn't provide evidence, so he sued me instead and injured me." Wang Zisheng, coupled with Zheng Yushi’s impeachment, the emperor fined me two months’ salary.”
Jia Mu: "..."
It startled her.
It turned out that he was only fined two months' salary?
This is also... too light.
There was a little joy in the old lady's eyes, "Just punish me. I won't be so reckless in the future."
When the Duke of Guo was there, he was often fined.
The more punishment, the closer they become.
Anyway, the Duke's government has never relied on that salary.
"Yes!"
When Jia She nodded, he glanced at Jia Zheng, "My son was fined two months' salary, but my second brother..."
"..."
Jia Zheng's heart beat wildly.
He finally remembered something was wrong.
When the eldest brother sued the Wang family, he also... also told the story about his letter.
In a moment, all the blood drained from his face. If he were standing, he would probably fall.
"What's wrong with your second brother?"
Mother Jia glanced at Er'er and felt worried.
"The Emperor Jinkou said, let the second brother rest!"
Boom~
It was like a heavy hammer hitting Jia Zheng's head. His vision went dark and he almost fainted.
"Hugh...Hugh?"
Mother Jia was heartbroken and looked at Shen Ning as if asking for help, "Niece-in-law~"
“Very good.”
Shen Ning put down the tea cup and gave three words.
Everything went as she expected, which was really good.
But she thought it was a good thing, but neither Jia Zheng nor Wang could accept it.
"Brother, are you going to kill all the ways for our second room to survive?"
Wang's voice was hoarse. If it were not for Jia Zheng, she would have rushed to fight with him, "How can we, the master, live like this?"
It's a shame that Jia Zheng is so stupid, he is faint but not faint, and he can't even seek death.
"Master, how can you meet people like this in the future?"
At this point, Mrs. Wang really burst into tears, and her tears fell down.
The master has passed away, so her life... can she still be there?
How will she go out as a guest in the future?
"Shut up!"
Mother Jia was so angry that she trembled all over, half leaning on her daughter Jia Min who came over quickly, "She'er, tell me, you..."
"Mother, do you know what people outside say about my second brother? They say he is a fool."
Jia She was also very angry, but what should he do? He was really a fool. "What has he done in the Ministry of Works over the years? He said he was in court, but it was just making people laugh. As long as he has some ability, How dare Wang Zisheng bully him like that?
With him like this, it would be better to stay at home like a son than in the court. ”
Jia Mu: "..."
She touched her chest, feeling angry, hateful and helpless.
"Mother!"
Jia Min tried to calm her mother down and said in a soft voice, "Second brother, it's really better to be at home like this."
"But he..."
"Pearl will participate in the Spring Festival next year."
Jia Min comforted her old mother, "As long as I pass the exam, even if it's only the seventh grade, it's better than my second brother's empty job with no title."
Her second brother is really not suitable for court.
Rather than letting him cause trouble for the family, it would be better to stay at home honestly.
"My father said back then that as long as the eldest brother and the second brother are safe and not wandering around, it will be fine."
The eldest brother did this, he never wandered around.
It was because his mother and second brother had gone too far that he - his hard work was a waste of money. During this period of time, Jia Min checked some things at home and was really angry and speechless.
She didn't think it was her eldest brother who was wrong. If she were the eldest brother, she would have no choice but to do this.
Otherwise, if he is not defeated, the second sister-in-law can find any excuse to evacuate the public.
"...That's all!"
The old lady sighed, "Zheng'er's official position was for nothing, now... just stop being here!" She didn't bother to look at Er'er anymore, "I'm all tired today, you guys... should hurry up Go back to the ancestral hall!”
Although she wanted him to return to Lixiangyuan, if her son returned to Lixiangyuan, Wang would definitely want to go back as well.
The old lady was not happy for Wang to go back.
Her son was stupid, but without Wang's interference, he would never have harmed his family.
"Zheng'er..." Seeing Er'er's pitiful look, she finally comforted her, "Your father wants you and your eldest brother to be safe and sound, so don't think too much now."
Jia Zheng: "..."
He glanced at his mother blankly and helplessly, kowtowed, and stood up in confusion. It seemed that he wanted to go to the ancestral hall, but after taking a few steps, his vision went dark and he collapsed on the spot.
It would be terrible if it fell to the ground.
Jia Zhen, who had been silent, quickly rushed out and pulled him to prevent his head from coming into close contact with the ground.
"Oh~, Master~~~"
Wang cried and rushed over, "Master, you can't die, master..."
"Shut up!" Jia Mu, who got up, saw her son's expression getting worse and worse as he was being shaken by Wang, and hurriedly said: "Quick, call the doctor."
"Ahem~"
Jia Zheng was shaken awake. When he saw Wang's face with tears streaming down his face, an indescribable anger surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He used all his strength and gave Wang a big slap, " Get out of here!”
He never wanted to see her again.
He also doesn't want to see anyone.
I dare not see anyone again.
I feel that in everyone's eyes, there is contempt, disgust, and contempt for him...
Jia Zheng knocked Wang aside, then took Jia Zhen's hand, stood up unsteadily and went to the ancestral hall.
"Don't worry, mother, I have asked a doctor," Jia She held her mother's hand on the other side. "When the second brother calms down, I will take him over and show him to the second brother."
I asked the doctor because I was afraid of making the old lady angry.
Now that the old lady is fine, it's okay to show her to the second brother.
"..."
Jia Mu looked at the second son who was walking steadily, but she didn't want to see the eldest son. She pulled her hand back and waved it, "You all go, I want to take a rest."
She actually knew that Er'er's official position... Not only did the eldest son want to get rid of him, but Dongfu and Lian'er also didn't want him to be that official anymore.
She is old and can no longer be taken care of.
Now...that's it!
Holding her daughter's hand, the old lady went straight to the inner room without looking at anyone.
Jia Min gave Shen Ning an apologetic look and followed him to comfort her.
Shen Ning smiled and said nothing. She was also very tired today, and now everything is finally complete. "Third sister," she patted Jia Ku's hand, "You have been tired for a day today. Take a rest tomorrow and come to me." Sit there.”
"Hmm~"
Jia Kui didn't expect that the eldest brother would be so brave and take away the second brother's official position. The old lady didn't say anything, "I'll give it to my sister-in-law."
What a pleasure!
If the eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law and two nephews knew about it, they would definitely be very happy.
"Feng'er is in charge of the family now, and that child..."
"I know."
The aunt and sister-in-law wiped away their tears, and Wang, who was chasing Jia Zheng to the ancestral hall, talked as they walked, "Brother Bai told me that his second cousin-in-law cared for him very much, and the courtyard where he lived was close to the back street. ”
On the edge of the east cross courtyard, there is a door opened over there. The three of them, mother and son, live well together. "Sister-in-law, don't worry about us. If anything happens, I will tell you."
Shen Ning nodded, "Yingchun and the others are all studying in Dongfu. You can go back and ask Sister Mei if you want to follow."
"If you don't tell me, I will tell you."
Jia Kui smiled, "The Yingchun couple invited Sister Mei today. She said that she would go and beg you to let her study as a student."
"What do you want?"
Shen Ning glanced at her, "Just tell her to come."
"Then I'll prepare the apprenticeship ceremony for her and go there early tomorrow morning."
"Are you going to rest for a few days?"
"When she heard that she could go to school, she jumped up."
Jia Kui smiled, "When I was at home, I was the one who taught her, but there are some things that I kept getting confused by her questions."
Both her children are smarter than her.
Before, Jia Ku was worried that she was delaying her daughter, but now she is fine.
"She goes to school, so I don't have to worry!"
"Haha, why do I hear you showing off?"
Shen Ning also hopes that one day in the future, she can say this to others.
"Sister-in-law must have heard wrong."
Jia Kui smiled. She was about to praise her little niece who talked to her today when she saw Baoqin running over, "Madam, Marquis Xinping is here. Our girl is asking you to come over."
Xinpinghou?
Cheng Luo?
Shen Ning was stunned.
Why don't you come over this late at night?
"Since Yuanchun is calling you, sister-in-law, please go over there!"
Jia Ku's face turned a little pale, she was afraid something bad would happen.
She was even more afraid because she would implicate Yuanchun.
Although the second brother and second sister-in-law are not good, the nieces and nephews are very good.
"Apart from me, who else did you invite?"
"Invited the eldest gentleman, the eldest lady and several gentlemen."
"Didn't you invite your master and your wife?"
Shen Ning felt relieved.
If something goes wrong with the marriage, Yuanchun must ask Jia Zheng and Wang, who are her parents.
"No!"
Bao Qin shook his head.
"Where is Marquis Xinping now?"
After saying that, Shen Ning patted Jia Ku's hand comfortingly.
"In the Flower Hall!"
"Okay! I'll go there."
When Shen Ning followed Bao Qin to the flower hall, Cheng Luo had been sitting there for a while.
He went to Yuanchun first, and Yuanchun also thought it was a marriage issue, but he was tearful and didn't look like it.
When asked why he wanted to find an elder, he replied confusedly and said that he would listen to her in everything from now on.
Yuanchun suspected that the Cheng family and the old lady of the Cheng family had complained about him because of what happened today. They were so angry that they could only help find the elders.
"Drink some water first and calm yourself down!"
Yuanchun saw that he seemed to be restless, so he could only advise: "Don't worry, my uncle will be here in a minute."
"..."
Cheng Luo tried to calm down, but even his emperor uncle couldn't do anything about it.
But he couldn't sleep without trying hard.
"I...when my mother passed away, she was very worried about me."
He looked at Yuanchun, "But I'm even more worried about her."
Yuanchun: "..."
What's the meaning?
She didn't understand.
Princess Baofeng has passed away, so I don’t worry...
“They insisted on my mother being buried with that man, but I didn’t agree even to my death.”
Cheng Luo really wiped away tears, "But I couldn't resist everyone, and she was eventually buried in the Cheng family's ancestral grave."
"You...you want to move the grave?"
Yuanchun grasped the key.
Cheng Luo nodded vigorously, "I know it's difficult, but a few months ago, didn't Chen Tang, the Chen family of the Ministry of Industry, change his surname to take after his mother?" He looked at Yuan Chun eagerly, "If I change my surname, I can change my surname." Mom moved out.”(End of Chapter)
