Chapter 207 Happy Heart
I can't say enough about it, but I have to go.
If you stay..., that could be the death of the whole family.
Jia Jing pressed his daughter's little face close to her and listened to her childish "babbling" before he finally walked towards Shen Ning.
"I'm sorry..."
When he handed his daughter over, he straightened up, ignoring the pain of his beard being pulled.
No matter how painful the beard was, it was not as painful as the pain in his heart at this moment.
The last time he left home, his wife was with him, and they lived in the suburbs of Beijing. They could come back during the holidays, but this time... he was no longer qualified to come back.
He - dead.
He failed to live up to the expectations of his father and uncle, and failed to take up the responsibility of the family; he failed to let Mrs. Shen down, and he could not accompany her to the end of her life after suffering all the hardships in the world; he failed to let down the prince, and even let down himself...
He entered school at the age of three, practiced martial arts at the age of five, and became a Jinshi before he was twenty.
The emperor regards him as his nephew, and the prince regards him as his brother. Although he is a scholar, he can go in and out of the capital camp, and with the given order, thousands of horses gallop...
He helped the prince reform the bad government, and they wanted to enrich the country and strengthen the people.
But...
Jia Jing slowly backed away.
Through the extinguished candlelight, he wanted to take a look and take another look at the wife who had been with him through thick and thin for most of his life.
Jia Jing's eyes were sore and hot, but he didn't want to cry.
Tears would blur his vision, making it impossible for him to take one last look at his wife and daughter.
But the heel already felt the threshold.
Before Shen Ning wanted to speak, Jia Jing turned around and strode away.
Jiao Da glanced at the wife holding the child in the room, and hurriedly followed her without thinking about talking.
The guards were not that good, so he had to keep up with the master, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out.
"Second boy!"
When Jiao Da followed Jia Jing, the patrolman who was coming in front turned away without looking back, "I have a house in Makou Lane. When I come home, you can bring what I want. ”
"...Okay!"
Jia Jing responded in a low voice.
He knew that Jiao Da was telling him to get the medicine the day after tomorrow.
Jiao Da listened to the whole conversation between him and Shen.
"You are old, please take care of yourself. If it is not a big deal, leave it to the boy below."
"Don't worry, my old man can still eat two big bowls of rice now."
Jiao Da doesn't think he is old.
How many people does he manage now?
The servants from the two mansions took turns receiving training from him.
There are a few other gentlemen...
"When you get outside, don't think about anything else and eat more. Only by eating more can you have the strength to do what you want to do."
He can only kill what you want to kill if you want to say it.
In fact, if he hadn't been very old and couldn't ride on the boat, he would have gone to Japan long ago.
At this moment, Jiao Da was actually envious of Jia Jing. He said: "Second boy, when we get there, the sky is huge and the earth is big, you are the third child."
Just do whatever you want!
In your own territory, you have to worry about this and that, but when you get to the Japanese country, you can let your hands and feet go.
"We're done, let's go play around."
Listen to my wife and leave the Rakshasa Kingdom and all.
Jiao Da believed that the smart master could understand, "Come back if you don't have any money. I have saved some and I will give it all to you."
Jia Jing: "..."
The sadness in his heart was divided by this rough old man, and a lot of it was actually lost.
"How many do you have?"
Jia Jing couldn't help but be curious.
In fact, this old man has a very bad habit, that is, he likes to drink like his father.
His father received rewards from the emperor, gifts from colleagues and subordinates, and when he saw good ones, he also had money to buy them.
However, Jiao Da is different!
That jug and a half of wine every night is worth real money.
When the monthly payment was first issued, he drank well.
When I have no money at the end of the month, I often work with only ten cents and half a catty.
When he had no more than ten cents left, he went to drink wine from his father.
Drinking wine from everyone in the house.
Oops~
Ever since he was a child, Jia Jing has been a lot angry with his father and him because of his drinking...
"Hmm~"
Jiao Da still didn't know what he was thinking, but the old man raised his head and said, "Let's calculate it's almost three hundred taels, I'll give you one hundred and fifty taels."
Three hundred taels?
Real or fake?
Jia Jing couldn't believe it.
Although Mr. Shen improved Jiao Da's salary after returning home, it could not be improved by that much.
Jia Jing didn't believe that this old man could change his mind and stop drinking. How could he save money?
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Jiao Da looked at his appearance and couldn't help blowing his beard, "Just tell me if you want it or not!"
"Yes!"
It was rare that the old man could still give him money, so how could he not want it?
However, Jia Jing still suspected that he was bragging, so he said: "You are from a poor family and have a rich family, otherwise, you can get it all for me."
Jiao Da: "..."
He wanted to punch him.
"Hey, do you really have three hundred taels?"
When Jia Jing saw the old man acting like that, he knew he really wasn't bragging.
Oops~
Why didn't he know when the sun came out from the west?
"What else?"
The old man snorted, "You still bargain with me for the money you gave me, and you think I have to give it to you? Two hundred taels, do you want me if you love me, don't push me away."
It’s not that he wants to save it, it’s just that he has nowhere to spend it.
Shopkeeper Chen, who showed me Ping'an's pulse, said that it's OK to drink, but not too much.
For this reason, he specially found his wife, who stipulated that he drink one tael of wine every night, and the limit could be relaxed to 2 taels during holidays or other special days.
He doesn't need to buy the wine. He drinks whatever the uncle drinks.
The uncle’s wines are all good wines.
After drinking wine for so many years, the old man knows the difference between good wine and bad wine.
For the sake of good wine every day, he could only compromise.
So the money was saved like this.
However, the main reason why I can save so much is because several young masters gave me apprenticeship gifts when they passed by.
He ate, drank, slept, and kept all his clothes, shoes, and hats in the house. He didn't need many things, so he had people help sell some, and he finally saved three hundred and twenty taels.
"Yes, who said no?"
Jia Jing gave a rare smile and said, "Exchange all of it for me with scraps of silver."
The old man's rosy face showed that he was well taken care of by his family.
It is a gift given by the elders and cannot be turned away!
His parents and grandfather are gone, and the aunt next door cannot know his situation. Speaking of which, besides Madam, only Jiao Da can help him.
The two of them walked further and further away. In the mourning hall, Shen Ning carefully put away the beard on her daughter's little hand.
This thing cannot be seen by others.
But I can keep it for my daughter.
One day when the little girl comes to ask her about her father, she can secretly tell her that before her father passed away, he secretly came back to see her, as evidenced by his beard.
Shen Ning returned the child to the nanny within the stipulated time.
The nanny carefully coaxed the baby back to sleep.
The master is gone and the wife is sad, so everything she does is understandable.
Qingzhu next door and Wen Peilan, who was protecting Shen Ning, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they heard her footsteps heading towards the mourning hall again.
Fortunately, today is the last day.
Jia Zhen and Youshi also thought about the last day, but in fact they didn't sleep well.
"Uncle, while you are asleep, I will go and accompany my mother!"
Jia Zhen was injured after all. The medicine for the arrow wound on the shoulder was changed just at night.
You decided to get up by herself, go to accompany her mother-in-law, and burn some more paper for her father-in-law.
"...Forget it!"
Jia Zhen held Youshi down and said, "My parents have a good relationship. If you go, there are some things she won't be able to say."
He could never forget the way his mother was cleaning up brick by brick for his father with shaking hands and a pale face.
"If she wants to be alone with her, let's be alone with her!"
I have been sick these days and have missed a lot. I think it is a pity for my mother.
Jia Zhen tried her best to understand her, "From now on... we just have to be filial."
"Yeah!"
Youshi nodded and leaned towards Jia Zhen.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Here, not long after Shen Ning returned to the mourning hall to burn paper, Jiao Da came back again.
The old man did not enter the mourning hall, but walked back and forth outside the door from time to time to encourage her.
……
Capital, Shoukang Palace.
The Supreme Emperor, who was lying unable to move, was so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth while listening to the two eunuchs snoring one after another.
Who would have dared to snore in his place?
Even if they have a meal, they cannot eat anything that smells.
But now...
The Supreme Emperor felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to fart, but as soon as he exerted force, there was a hot pile.
There were as many eunuchs serving at night as during the day, but even Dai Quan took a nap in front of the brazier.
The little eunuch who should be paying attention to him in front of the bed was also dozing off.
The Supreme Emperor was angry and resentful, but when it came time to scold him, he couldn't even speak in a normal tone.
He can only say 'oo', 'ouch', 'uh' and so on.
Ever since he heard his voice, he didn't want to talk anymore.
But in the past, the eunuchs and maids around him were very discerning. With just a look, they knew what he wanted. Now...
The eunuch in front of the bed was shaking his head little by little, and he was still sleeping very vigorously.
He...
"Uh~~~"
The Supreme Emperor was forced to speak out.
But the sound was quickly covered up by the snoring.
The little eunuch who accompanied him leaned against the bedpost, obviously sleeping more deeply.
Ahhhh~~~~
The emperor was furious.
He wanted to kill, kill everyone.
"Uh-oh~~Uh-oh~~~~"
Dai Quan heard something in a daze, but although he opened his eyes with his head lowered, he did not get up immediately.
The Supreme Emperor can't control his excrement and urine now. No matter how meticulous they are in serving him, it's just like that.
Alas~~~
I can’t go back!
Everything in this palace has changed.
Although the Emperor still comes every day, he used to bend down and carefully accompany the Emperor. Now... he straightens his back, seems to greet them cordially, and then asks them how the Emperor is eating and drinking. , and nothing else.
No more than a quarter of an hour at a time.
Even though he still came to report the situation in the court, Dai Quan obviously felt that the emperor was just here for a formality.
The Supreme Emperor can no longer say that this will not work or that will not work.
We can no longer say, well, he has already thought about the manpower, the emperor can just make a decree.
Although the princes also came, they didn't stay for more than a quarter of an hour. They just came to have a look, go through the motions, show their filial piety, ask the imperial doctor, ask them, tuck the quilt for the emperor, and then turned around and left. .
Dai Quan closed his eyes again.
It's warm in this palace, so it won't freeze the Supreme Emperor anyway.
He kept changing clothes and bedding for the Supreme Emperor every day, and the Supreme Emperor was also prone to wind.
Dai Quan sometimes feels like he smells bad when he goes back.
He has tried his best, but so far no one has said that you have worked hard.
Dai Quan felt quite cold, especially yesterday when the emperor came over and asked about the Emperor's meal. He answered respectfully, but the Emperor looked at him with angry eyes.
The emperor looked at him with something wrong at that time.
Although the emperor didn't say anything in the end, Dai Quan was still concerned about it.
He is the Emperor's man.
The Emperor liked Concubine Zhen, so he paid more attention to Concubine Zhen.
The Supreme Emperor liked Prince Jin, so he supported him more.
It’s not that he didn’t want to make things convenient for the emperor.
In the two years after the Supreme Emperor retired, there were many people in the palace who wanted to facilitate the emperor, but where were they in the end?
Almost all died.
The Supreme Emperor hates people on both ends of the spectrum.
If the emperor himself cannot be protected, how can he protect anyone else?
Today...
Dai Quan doesn't know what he will look like when he gets old, but he doesn't want to move now.
Everything today was brought about by the Supreme Emperor himself.
If he didn't doubt the prince so much and the prince inherited the throne properly, those who serve him would be able to find peace no matter what, right?
But what now?
Dai Quan let himself fall asleep more deeply.
It was quiet outside Shoukang Palace.
At this time, the only ones who sincerely prayed for the Emperor's good were Princess Zhen and the people from Prince Jin's Mansion.
King Jin is in the clan's mansion. He has been fighting against the emperor for these years. It's rare to catch him, so how can he let it go?
Especially the Emperor really fell in front of him.
Whether we can find Mr. Liu and reverse the case for the prince is actually not important anymore.
King Jin understood that the emperor might not want to overturn the prince's verdict.
All he had to do was hold him down out of filial piety.
After all, if the prince falls, the emperor will benefit the most.
The wind was howling outside, and King Jin gathered his robes and huddled in the corner.
He didn't know when days like this would end.
At this time, he only had regrets, full of regrets.
Just kill if you say you want to kill, right? Why do you still agree to people setting themselves on fire?
If Jia Jing hadn't set himself on fire and reminded his father of the prince, how could he have fallen like that?
Snap~
King Jin slapped himself.
If there is a regret medicine in this world, he is willing to give everything.
But there is everything in this world, but there is no regret medicine.
Now, he can only ask his mother to save him.
As long as the mother can come to the father, she can always ask for a lighter punishment.
But until now...
King Jin couldn't help but suspect that his mother-in-law had been controlled by the emperor, and now she couldn't even get close to his father.
King Jin shrank his neck and covered his face, feeling very regretful and resentful.
Once upon a time, he was the one closest to the throne!
Who is Jia Jing? Why should he be buried with him?
He hates it so much here, but the emperor who sleeps in the Queen's Palace has been sleeping particularly comfortably these days.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent all the things needed for the New Year to him and the Queen.
They finally looked like real emperors and queens.
The chiming bell rang outside, and the queen turned over and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the court."
Although it is still dark outside, the morning meeting cannot be delayed.
"Well, I'll get up by myself while you fall asleep."
The emperor yawned, pressed the queen's hand, and stood up, "Liu An is here to serve. We will go to Shoukang Palace together after the court is over."
They should take care of the old man's appearance.
"I have ordered Zhen Yingjia to come to Beijing."
He said to the queen: "You have to tell Concubine Zhen about this."
