Chapter 34: Shifting the blame
The prince got there very quickly.
He didn't bring an imperial physician right away.
It’s not easy for an outsider like him to get involved in the Jia family’s affairs.
Even my sister can’t do anything.
The only one who can take action is Mrs. Jia Shi.
But it is not easy to get the old lady to do it.
"This matter... the Jia family members are not moved."
A look of regret flashed across Mrs. Wang's face, who had just returned not long ago, "Then Mrs. Shen might have Just to prevent someone from attacking her, she hired two stable women at a high price. I saw it today."
She looked at her brother and said, "Brother, you have to think of a solution from the outside."
Wang Ziteng: "..."
He looked at his sister's haggard face, thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "I remember that Jia Zhen often walked outside."
"..."
Mrs. Wang’s eyes slowly lit up.
Yes, why didn’t she think of it?
The Shen family has only one son. If something happens to his son suddenly...
And Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family and the heir to the Dongfu. If something happens to him, the position of the patriarch will be lost. There is no way it would fall on Brother Rong who has not grown up yet.
In this way, her Jia Zheng will have a chance.
The most important thing is that with Jia Zhen gone, Rongguo Mansion can naturally take over all the forces of Ningguo Mansion in the military.
His~
When the two brothers and sisters looked at each other, there was a hint of smile inside them.
"Then I will listen to the good news from my brother at home."
If I had known, I would have looked for her brother a long time ago.
“Take good care of her.”
Wang Ziteng is very tender to this sister, “Don’t worry, brother will definitely do things well.”
Want to get the Jia family For everything in the military, the Jia family cannot have a second voice.
"As for Zhou Rui..."
Wang Ziteng paused, "Don't worry, if the old lady can't handle it, my brother will help you handle it."
Get up and leave. When he arrived, Jia Zhengcai came over in a hurry.
“I’ll spend more time with Shulan from now on.”
He called Jia Zheng by name, expressing his closeness, but couldn't help but beat her, "She is your wife. She is shameless outside, and you won't have much shame either."
Jia Zheng Zheng: "..."
His face gradually turned red.
He was a little afraid of this brother-in-law.
But...
“Yes!”
As if sending off the plague god, he quickly bowed and said, “Brother, walk slowly.”
Wang Ziteng: "..."
He slowly stopped, "Does Cunzhou know why Shulan has this disease?"
"...I know."
< br>
Jia Zheng was ashamed and angry.
The Ning and Rong houses were treated as a joke because of the Lai family. The joke just stopped, and Zhou Rui came again.
Zhou Rui was in charge of Zhuangzi in spring and autumn, and the reported harvest was getting lower and lower year by year. But as a result, he built a big Zhuangzi outside and another home, with his son and daughter. It’s young master and young lady.
The Zhou Rui family relied on the influence of the Wang family to accept the filial piety of the women in the house.
The kitchen and sewing room alone generate hundreds of taels of income a year.
It’s funny that Mrs. Wang also said that she and she are like sisters.
"Brother, please take care of Shulan. She regards Zhou Rui's family as a treasure, but others treat her as a fool."
Wang Ziteng: "..."
He is Does this mean?
He was clearly talking about the Shen family of Ningguo Mansion.
He took a long breath, "Can't all the things from Zhou Rui's family be recovered? What are you anxious about?"
"What are you anxious about?"
Jia Zheng thought about his colleagues calling him secretly Blind Jia couldn't help but twist his face, "If someone says that I can't recognize people and am blind, how would I feel?"
He is an official!
An official knows people poorly...
Whenever he thinks that he will never be able to move his home in this life and that everyone will look at him as a joke, he wishes he could hit him to death.
Because he was too embarrassed to meet people, Jia Zheng had already taken two days off.
"I trusted Wang, so I left the family affairs to her. What's the result?"
Jia Zheng was about to burst into tears, "Zhou Rui put himself in jail." Forget it, but he shouldn’t do it, and he gave me a reputation as someone who doesn’t know people well.”
Wang Ziteng: “…”
He wanted to say that even if Zhou Rui hadn't happened, you, Jia Cunzhou, wouldn't have been able to go further.
Speaking of which, one of the two Jia brothers is too lively, and the other is too old-fashioned.
"The head of the Rongguo Mansion is your brother, isn't he referring to Zhou Rui as the manager?"
Wang Ziteng looked confused and speechless, "Cunzhou, although the brotherhood is Deep, but you can’t take everything on yourself.”
This?
Jia Zheng was a little dazed.
But slowly, he seemed to come to his senses, "Yes..., my uncle taught me a lesson."
Wang Ziteng patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about the Yamen." Although the Ministry of Industry has a lot of things to do, this guy is really not a man of work. "You just look at the logistics documents and organize the documents. As long as the documents are correct, what's wrong with you?"
Have a good time there. Reading the Di newspaper over tea is actually quite good.
If he really wanted to let it go, he would probably have to worry about his sister.
Wang Ziteng decided to have a drink with some friends from the Ministry of Industry when he went back.
"Go back and talk to Shulan. You are sad. She is even more sad than you."
Wang Ziteng sighed for his sister, "Don't worry, I won't let Zhou Rui It's better."
"Yes!" When Jia Zheng bowed again, his face became more sincere, "Everything is troublesome to my uncle."
Wang Ziteng waved his hand. Step away.
Jia Zheng stood there and thought for a while. Instead of entering Rongxi Hall, he went to Jia Mu's courtyard.
Inside, Jia Baoyu was reciting poems to the old lady in a sweet voice. Jia Zheng stood at the door for a moment, his face softened a lot.
“The master is here.”
Seeing that it was him, the maid hurriedly opened the curtain.
Jia Zheng hurriedly stepped in.
"Master!"
Jia Baoyu was startled, he was most afraid of his father.
Some time ago, his father took black steamed buns from the school that irritated his throat and forced him to eat it. Although he only took a few bites before his grandmother stopped him, his throat still hurt for several days.
"Be good! Go down!"
Jia Zheng rarely spoke warmly, and motioned to the maids to take Baoyu out, "Mother..."
The door closed, and he He hesitated and looked at the old mother, "My son has not been to the Yamen for two days."
"...What happened?"
Jia Mu was not too surprised.
Her son has the easiest job as an official. It doesn’t matter whether he goes or not.
He used to often take leave.
“Zhou Rui put himself in jail, and now many people in the government office are saying behind their backs... that I don’t know people well.”
Jia Zheng consciously worked hard and was diligent. Qingchen said, "My son is feeling uncomfortable, but isn't it Zhou Rui who is in charge of Spring and Autumn's rent?"
Jia Mu: "..."
She knows why her son is looking for her.
The old lady wanted to sigh.
When she came back from Dongfu, she asked someone to call She'er, but who knew he actually went out.
Originally Zhou Rui’s matter was difficult to handle.
If She'er is allowed to take the blame again...
But it won't work if he doesn't take the blame.
She'er doesn't want to take the blame for not knowing people, and given Zheng'er's temper, he's afraid he'll have to take leave all the time and not go to the Yamen.
The Jia family has two titles. If Zheng'er doesn't go to the Yamen...
The old lady really sighed, "This matter is indeed your elder brother's fault. Turn around and I will do it." Say him."
"So, my son thanked his mother!"
After bowing, Jia Zheng poured a cup of tea for his old mother himself, "Mother, you and the Wang family came from the east. What did the sister-in-law say when I got home?"
"She didn't do it."
Jia Mu shook her head, "She's going to do it, she won't deny it."
< br>Can you blame her for always relying on Jing'er and his wife?
Both sons are really useless.
Two daughters-in-law... let alone mention them.
She is so old and still has to wipe their butts.
“I heard that the uncle of the Wang family is here, what did he say?”
“Nothing said,” Jia Zheng said unnaturally: “He just asked me to look after the Wang family more. "
Jia Mu: "..."
There is no better way to know a son than a mother.
She immediately guessed that it was Wang Ziteng who gave She'er the reputation of being an unknown person.
After all, there is a capable person in the Wang family!
Jia Mu was very envious.
Not only do I envy the Wang family for having such a talented person as Wang Ziteng, but I also envy Wang Ziteng for not being implicated by the family and being able to be a powerful official.
“Hmm~”
Jia Mu was in a slightly depressed mood, "Since he said that, you should go and see Mr. Wang more often." At this point, she thought of something else, "Zhu'er Xiu Mu said early in the morning that she would go to the school to have a look, and this time it's not It’s time to come back.”
This time, it feels like her family has become much thinner.
"If you send someone to ask an imperial doctor to check Wang's pulse, please check Zhuer's pulse too!"
"...Yes!"
Jia Zheng Zheng was a little worried when he thought about his son's condition, "My son will ask someone to ask for Dr. Wang right now."
At this time, Jia Zhu did come back from school, but instead of going home, he went to Ningguo I'm here to say hello to Shen Ning.
"Auntie!"
Sitting in the hall, he saw Shen Ning coming in and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I haven't seen you for a long time. My uncle's health seems to be much better."
Before he entered the house, he was still worried about this aunt.
“Well, the shopkeeper Chen of Huichuntang who checked my pulse is a great person.”
Searching the original memory, Jia Zhu has always been a very gentle and warm-hearted young man.
Study very hard, take care of his younger brothers and sisters, and respect every elder who shows kindness to him.
Shen Ning said: "Zhu'er, you've lost weight again. It's hard to study but you can't ignore your health. Go back to Huichun Hall and ask shopkeeper Chen to give you a prescription to replenish your health!"
"...Okay!"
Jia Zhu wanted to refuse, but seeing the concern in her eyes, she just paused and agreed with a smile, "I will go when I have time. This morning, my nephew After going to the school, the new Mr. Fang and Mr. Chen were very talented. They said that Uncle Jiao also asked the students to practice martial arts every day..."
"You don't think it's possible?"
< br>"No, no, no!" Jia Zhu hurriedly shook his head, "The Imperial College also has lessons in Cuju, horse riding, pot throwing, archery, etc."
He just didn't expect that Jiao Da would teach him some things on the battlefield. The descendants of the clan.
"The Jia family started out with martial arts, but the younger members of the family have gradually abandoned martial arts. In my nephew's opinion, it is not good at all."
When he was young, he actually wanted to practice martial arts.
Even if they are not on the battlefield, people who practice martial arts, whether they are playing Cuju, riding horses, throwing pots, or shooting arrows, will have faster body reactions.
“Now that my mother-in-law has resumed martial arts, although the proportion of class hours is very small, it is much better than before.”
Every child who goes to school in the future will be blessed.
It also helped him make up for some of his childhood regrets.
“Oh?” Shen Ning smiled, “Did you eat the Yikusi sweet rice?”
“Soaked it in hot water and ate a steamed bun.”
< br>Jia Zhu smiled, "If our Mr. Lu from the Imperial College knew about it, I'm afraid he would all follow suit."
