Chapter 203 Two Roads
Start over?
Carrying thorns bare-chested on such a cold day?
Jia Zheng was very scared.
After being spanked, he was not in good health.
There are many things that I feel powerless to do. If I get cold again...
Jia Zheng felt that he would die.
He is afraid of death.
Especially after lying in bed for so long.
That kind of powerlessness, that kind of despair...
But Lanzhi's knife was cold and biting, just pressing against his chin.
Jia Zheng even felt that the skin was broken there, and the niece in front of him seemed...as if he wanted to stab her in with a knife.
"I, I...I will do it again."
If you don't start over, you will die immediately.
Jia Zheng stepped back in a fit of piss, just opening his coat. It was fine inside the house, but outside...
"Wait!"
Lanzhi saw him trembling, then slowly walked over and looked at him.
When Jia Zheng saw her coming out with a knife, his legs trembled and he suddenly felt even colder.
"For my grandfather's sake..."
Lan Zhi looked at him and said, "When you come here carrying thorn sticks, you don't have to take off your underwear."
ah?
That's it?
Hearing that she wanted to do it for his father's sake, Jia Zheng was really looking forward to it, but now, his mouth moved, but Lanzhi's knife...
"Thank you!"
Jia Zheng lowered his head and retreated in a hurry. When Lan Zhi could not see him, he hurriedly covered up his clothes, ran back to the corner door connecting the two mansions, and said to the accompanying maid: "Quick! Tell the old lady quickly."
The eldest brother Jia She will only help Lan Zhi, while Jia Zhen and her sister-in-law will also side with Lan Zhi because of her life-saving grace.
The two younger sisters have long been disappointed with him because of everything that happened to the Lan family.
Son, daughter... don't mention it.
He could only point to the old lady to save him.
The old lady can suppress everyone in the family to speak for him.
Jia Zheng thought about it, but he could only count on the old lady.
In fact, how could Jia Mu use him to tell people at this time.
She asked the maid to keep an eye on the news over there. The old lady was stunned when she heard that her second son's clothes were split and he was about to tie the thorn sticks again.
It doesn’t seem right!
Such a cold day...
Although the snow has stopped long ago, it is still cold.
Lanzhi is like this...
Is this how ordinary girls deal with things?
Jia Mu's heart trembled, "Quick, go tell Zhu'er and Lian'er in Dongfu."
She was anxious.
The children tried their best not to get involved in the grudges of their elders, especially Lian'er, who was a doctor in the arsenal department and helped Lan Zhi and General Jiang a lot.
Lanzhi doesn't give face to others, but always gives some face to Lian'er.
Lian'er... couldn't just watch his second uncle being frozen to death or beaten to death, right?
"Go and call the fourth aunt and the third aunt."
Jia Min and Jia Ku were both Lanzhi's aunts, and they advised her to be better than her unrelated grandmother.
We met once at the mourning hall of Dongfu, and the old lady could feel that Lan Zhi was a face-saving person to her.
She has her own grandson, grandson, and granddaughter. She doesn't really care what Lanzhi does.
But now it's really about her second son's life!
And Mr. Shen...
Although she was sick, Lanzhi was there, and she...she couldn't ignore it!
Instead of thinking about others, just think about a lot of old ladies her age!
She must understand her.
After all, on the day she was assassinated, she rushed to save people regardless of her own danger because she was worried about Jia Zhen.
"Quick! Prepare the sedan, I'm going to Dongfu."
The maids and women all started to move at once.
Here, as soon as Jia Mu got on the sedan chair, Aunt Zhou hurried over and said, "Old lady, I asked my wife to come over and apologize together."
Jia Zheng was too anxious and afraid that she forgot to say this, but she had to put it into practice.
Yes, yes, there is also Wang.
She was confused.
Jia Mu said hurriedly: "Quickly, pull Wang out and send them to Dongfu together."
She was busy with her second son's affairs and didn't pay close attention to Aunt Zhou's thoughts when she said this.
Aunt Zhou was so happy to see Jia Zheng binding the vitex trees so miserably.
But how could Jia Zheng be so miserable alone?
Wang is in the Buddhist hall, protected from wind and rain.
Although the food is not very good, I can still be more than half full no matter what.
Drink some water and get through the rest.
From Wang's point of view, this was already the worst time she had lived, but from Aunt Zhou's point of view, this was not enough, far from enough.
Her baby is gone.
Wang's three children... obviously, will not be too bad in the future.
Why?
She doesn't want to touch her child, so why don't you find something more to do for her?
Aunt Zhou has been thinking about this all day long.
Thinking about how to let the old lady let the master and even the Wang family's children stab her in the heart while trying to protect herself.
As Jia Zheng's concubine, Aunt Zhou was very careful to protect herself.
After all, she has no children, so she might have to live with Zhu Er and Bao Yu in the future.
So Aunt Zhou went back in panic.
She hugged a set of thick clothes belonging to Jia Zheng, and then hugged a set of thick clothes belonging to Wang, which she thought was useless. "It needs to be tied tightly."
Aunt Zhou seemed to be planning something for the Wang family when she saw her mother-in-law tying people up. "The master told her to tie her up tightly at that time. He said that the knife my cousin had... didn't recognize anyone."
Wang: "..."
When her mother-in-law pinched the thorn stick hard on her body, her face twisted in pain.
"Madam, please move quickly and let your back see some blood!"
Aunt Zhou is still persuading.
After all, this is how she advised Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng listened to her.
"My cousin came back from the battlefield and saw a lot of blood. You tied the thorn sticks and didn't see any blood... I'm afraid her family will not be able to survive."
"..."
Wang's heart skipped a beat.
The ladies hurriedly helped move the thorn branches.
Oops~~~~
Wang's face twisted in pain.
"Hurry up, madam. It's cold. Walk faster and hurry up to the eldest lady's house. You can suffer less."
Nowadays, which lady doesn’t have a charcoal basin in her house?
Wang understood what she meant.
After tying them up, she didn't dare to delay and quickly headed to Dongfu.
At this time, the weak Shen Ning tried hard to resist sleepiness and asked Qingzhu and others to help pat his arms and legs.
She had been sleeping for the past few days, and her whole body, not to mention her bones, even her muscles were aching.
The more pats you take, the more energetic you will be.
Only when you are energetic can you watch the next drama.
Shen Ning didn't know that because she had to watch Jia Zheng and Wang's misfortune, her spirit had improved unknowingly.
Finally, the expected Jia Zheng came again.
There were more thorns on his back than before.
The white lining had long been torn, and the dots of red were still quite eye-catching.
Lanzhi glanced at her aunt Shen Ning first.
He was afraid that her seriously ill body would become unwell after seeing the blood and turn around and vomit again.
Fortunately...
Lan Zhi felt that her aunt was being slapped and beaten by the maids like this, and her face didn't look so ugly.
She was relieved.
"Blue Branch..."
Jia Zheng almost ran all the way here. Entering Shen Ning's warm and spacious room, she almost sneezed, "I was also deceived by your second aunt and the Wang family about what happened back then."
If you have the ability, come to Wang Ziteng!
He is now the general of Zhennan.
No matter how powerful Lanzhi is and how accomplished he is in battle, he can only control the women's army over there, and he will never be able to surpass Wang Ziteng in this life.
Jia Zheng really hopes that Wang Ziteng can be here to help him divert some of his hatred.
"I am incompetent, I am stupid..."
His tears fell.
It turned out that he was the only one in the court in both houses.
Although he was not allowed to go to court, it was still considered his actual job.
No matter what, he is better than eldest brother and Zhen'er.
The two of them can only rely on their ancestors at home, eating and waiting to die.
Jia Zheng has always felt that he is the most ambitious, upright, and gentleman in the Jia family.
Read the original text in Liu#9@书/吧!
When other people have something to do, they just ask to come to him. As long as it can be done, he is basically willing to help.
Wang also has his posts.
The Wang family borrowed the Wang family...
"I don't know people well!"
Jia Zheng really cried, "But I really didn't know that it would harm your family!"
He thought it was just a favor between relatives.
"Sister-in-law, please say something to me."
He begged Shen Ning.
What can Shen Ning say?
She sat in a wheelchair with a frail look.
In Dream of Red Mansions, after Daiyu's death, the Jia family reunited. Jia Zheng clearly saw that one person was missing, but what did he say?
Did he really not know that the Jia family had used so much money from the Lin family?
He doesn’t know about the marriage between Lin Jia’s family?
Parents' orders, matchmaker's words.
No matter how confused Lin Ruhai was, there was no way he could just agree on the marriage between Daiyu and Baoyu with Jia Mu.
After the Grand View Garden was built, Jia Zheng visited the garden and said he liked the Xiaoxiang Pavilion the most.
Then Lin Daiyu moved in.
Yuanchun asked the Jia family to go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings. The Taoist priest wanted to propose marriage to Baoyu. Later, Daiyu and Baoyu had a quarrel. Jia's mother said it was not because enemies did not get together. Was it just a casual talk?
You know, in this era, this basically refers to couples.
Jia Mu was all enlightened.
How could Jia Zheng not know?
He just pretends.
Anyway, there is no need for him to do anything, Wang can handle everything for him without causing any trouble for him.
Lin Daiyu must die. If she doesn't die, the Jia family will have to pay back the money and give a dowry.
Today...
Shen Ning always felt that Jia Zheng's evil was far more terrifying than Jia She and Jia Zhen.
At least they are bad on the surface, so they can be on guard, but Jia Zheng...
In vain, sister Lin and Baoyu were annoyed and often talked about looking for their uncle.
She trusts her uncle so much...
"Sister-in-law~~~"
Jia Zheng's voice became louder and he called Shen Ning again.
"Second Master," Qingzhu said hurriedly: "Don't embarrass our wife, our wife can't speak at all."
"Why are you saying this to him?"
Lanzhi sneered, "If he cares even a little bit about this place, he can't help but know how sick his eldest aunt is."
Jia Zheng: "..."
He felt like he was going to die unjustly.
He didn't dare to come to Dongfu, wasn't it just to avoid her?
"Master Jia Er, are you feeling uncomfortable now?"
Lanzhi gently wiped his big knife, "Then do you know how uncomfortable it is for my mother to die? She prides herself on having a good relationship with you. Before she died, she wanted to beg you. For the sake of growing up together, Take care of us brothers and sisters for a while, but what did you do?"
Jia Zheng: "..."
He sat on his knees.
His face was miserable.
Because of this matter, how long had he knelt in the ancestral hall?
He also lost his official position and got his butt spanked.
Now I have to kneel in front of my niece...
If he had the courage, he felt that he might as well just die.
But, he didn't have the courage.
Shen Ning looked at him and couldn't help but close her eyes.
Jia Zheng in Dream of Red Mansions is very authoritative in the Jia family.
Jia Zhen cannot afford the position of patriarch, but he is a nephew. After Yuanchun became a concubine, as long as he has a little heart to restrain his children, as long as he really loves reading as described in the book, the men of the Jia family cannot be like that.
"You make my mother feel uneasy even if she dies."
Lan Zhi took a step forward, "My father, my eldest brother, my second brother..." Every time she mentioned a person, she took a step forward, "Of the three people, only my second brother got a whole body."
There were urgent footsteps outside.
Jia Zhu and Jia Lian arrived.
Jia Ku and Jia Min also arrived.
Jia Mu's sedan chair was also coming to the courtyard.
After receiving the news, Jia Zhen and Youshi each saw off the guests they were about to see off, and ran here in a hurry.
"Do you know why I set fire to my home that day?"
Lanzhi's knife hit Jia Zheng's face again.
Jia Zheng shivered violently.
He was cold and scared.
"Because if I don't burn, I will be forcibly married by a relative of the Wang family, using the relationship between the Wang and Jia families."
Lanzhi looked at Jia Zhu, "Cousin, if it were you and me, would you come here for revenge?"
Jia Zhu: "..."
He slowly lifted his robe and knelt down, "I can!"
What is supposed to come will come, "But as a son of man..., I want to beg my cousin to spare my parents' lives."
"The lives of your parents are lives, but the lives of my parents and brothers are not lives?"
"...I'm sorry!"
Jia Zhu's eyes turned red.
This is an unanswerable question.
"Old lady, their lives are lives, but the lives of my parents and brothers are not lives?"
Lanzhi let Jia Zhu go and asked Jia's mother.
Jia Mu shed tears tremblingly, "This evil obstacle..." She cried: "No one can afford to pay for the lives of your parents and my two grandsons, but Lanzhi, this is the end of the matter. , after all, he is the blood of the Duke, and is your biological uncle. Old lady, I am too old. For the sake of your grandfather and me, spare his life. The rest... is up to you."
Even if I can only lie in bed from now on.
Just stay alive.
"Follow me?"
Lanzhi's eyes were a little red, and she looked at the pale-faced woman who came in carrying a thorn stick.
At this time, carrying a thorn stick on his back and wearing only single clothes... it must be the Wang family.
"Who are you?"
"I..."
Wang glanced at Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu who were kneeling on the ground, tried her best to calm her breathing, and knelt down to her son, "Lan Zhi, I am your second aunt."
"..."
Lanzhi grinded his teeth, "They say my mother-in-law is older, but look at it, how worthy are you?"
"..."
"..."
Jia Zheng and Wang could not defend themselves.
Jia Min and Jia Ku both turned away their faces slightly.
They couldn't persuade them.
If you put it into yourself, you can only hate it more than Lan Zhi.
Because they are mothers.
"Do you think you'll be beaten one by one, or live in a small Buddhist hall, and you'll be forgiven?"
Lanzhi said: "For the sake of my grandfather, I will give you two ways now, one is to die as an apology, the other... is to get twenty big boards per person, one acre of land outside the city, and a thatched hut. From now on, you can rely on yourself to farm." You can eat whatever is available, and if you don’t have enough to eat, you will either go hungry or work for others
If you accept any help from your relatives, I can come back and chop off your heads. ”
