Chapter 123 Heli
Yansui and Min Tai rode home with gloomy faces.
His second wife, Nie, looked aggrieved. Before she said anything when she came to greet him, he hurriedly asked the housekeeper beside her, "How is Mrs. Jia?"
"Sir, my wife's life is temporarily hanging on."
The stewardess paused and said, "It was Sister Mei who said... said, 'If Brother Bai comes back and finds that his mother is gone, he must How sad,' she finally took a breath. ”
The vein on Min Tai's forehead jumped, and the whip in his hand slammed hard on a boy behind him.
“Ah~”
The boy almost jumped up in pain, but he didn’t dare to jump. He suppressed the trembling and knelt on the ground, shouting: “Master, have mercy on me, Master, please have mercy!” "
Papa~~~
Min Tai gave him a few more severe whips, "If you can't find Brother Bai, your whole family will pay for my son's life."
It's been a month, and for the time being I only know that Brother Bo has gone to the capital.
Needless to say, he knew what that kid wanted to do.
Min Tai was angry, hateful and powerless.
After the father-in-law passed away, how could the Jia family care about the life and death of a concubine?
Over the years, because his father-in-law wanted to avoid suspicion, he never got a promotion.
Finally, he died, but he was implicated by the Jia family, and he was not promoted.
With no other choice, he married his second wife and trapped Jia Ku in the back house to prove to the world that he had nothing to do with the Jia family.
Who knows, he just smoothed the way here and caught up with Mr. Zhang, and the whole family gave him trouble.
Obviously he hid it very well and just wanted to send his daughter away. However, Nie, a stupid woman and servant girl, was so excited that Brother Bo heard that he wanted to send his daughter away as a concubine.
Min Tai gritted his teeth.
There’s only one step left!
At this time, he deeply hated his soft-heartedness. If he let Jia die when something happened to the Jia family, he would not be threatened with death by her and could not give away his daughter.
I didn’t expect that just because she was making trouble and died, her daughter had a filial piety, which Master Zhang was taboo about, causing him to neglect his son, so that Brother Bo, a half-year-old child, ran away to the capital. Go to the Jia family to complain.
Hmph~
It’s not easy to worry about!
Jia didn't let him worry, Nie didn't let him worry, his son and daughter didn't let him worry.
"Master~"
Seeing that their master was getting irritable again, Mr. Nie hesitated and took a step forward, "Brother Chen just shouted that he wanted to find the master, you... ..."
"Shut up!"
Why did Brother Chen call him?
What does a baby who just learned to walk know?
I don’t know when to choose the right time to compete for favor. If he hadn’t already had Brother Chen, he would have divorced her now.
Hmph~
No matter how careless Brother Bai is, he is still his son.
And without Brother Bai, even if he sends Sister Mei out, Master Zhang will not be his help based on that girl's fierce temper.
One is not good...
Min Tai dare not think about that very bad thing.
Now he only worries about whether the people chasing Brother Bo have found him.
If not found...
Counting time, if Brother Bai has been going well, he should have arrived at the Jia family. What does the Jia family think of this matter?
Before, he didn't care what the Jia family thought.
My father-in-law has gone, my eldest uncle Jia She is extremely incompetent, and my second uncle Jia Zheng only knows how to write, but in fact he has no ability at all.
The only person he fears is Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion.
Although he has entered the Taoist temple and looks like he will sever ties with the Jia family, who dares to deal with the Jia family unscrupulously while he is still alive?
The ready-made example of the Chen family in Beijing...
Min Tai became even more irritated when he thought that his wife had no contact with Rongguo Mansion after his father-in-law left, but had correspondence with the sister-in-law from Ningguo Mansion.
The news from Beijing came too slowly. If he had known about the Chen family and that his sister-in-law had been rewarded with another imperial title, he and Jia would not have come to this point.
"Be honest with me," Min Tai stared at Mr. Nie, "If Mr. Jia is gone, you should die with her!"
With these words, he Stride towards the backyard.
Min's house is a large courtyard with a garden on three sides.
Speaking of which, Jia is still very prosperous.
Although the life of the Min family was pretty good before she got married, they had many brothers. When they got married, they spent everything and had only a small courtyard.
Min Tai's pace slowly slowed down, and when he arrived at Jia Ku's yard, the look in his eyes softened.
"Sister Mei, how is your mother now?"
I opened the door and saw my daughter coming out of the back room with a medicine bowl.
Min Mei's heart skipped a beat when she saw her father, "... fell asleep."
"What did the doctor say?"
"...Didn't Er Niang say anything?"
Min Mei doesn’t want to act with her father.
It’s not that she didn’t live a good life when she was a child.
Both her parents once held her in their hands and loved her. She was also carried on his shoulders to buy candied haws. Even after having a younger brother, her father loved her even more. With her mother here, and her younger brother being cute and well-behaved, she also felt that The days are good.
In fact, their family’s life is getting better and better.
Even though her father's official position has not changed, the uncles in the family still support her father because of her grandfather in Beijing, and the aunts and uncles also surround her mother.
Everything changed after my grandfather passed away.
My father became more and more irritable, and my mother became more and more silent.
But is all this the mother's fault?
For so many years, the loving couple that everyone praised was actually all fake.
Her uncle, who became a sixth-grade official, personally found a second room for her father, and the family forced her mother to live in this small shabby courtyard.
Her mother gave away so many things, but what did she get in exchange?
She was going to be sent out to be a concubine to an old man who could almost be a grandfather.
To say that I don’t hate him is absolutely false.
Min Mei not only hates her father, but also the uncles in the Min family.
Who is the Min family?
The city gate officer of the ninth rank, the small flag officer of the eighth rank, are very talented.
That is to say, her father was good-looking and capable, so he was attracted by his grandfather, so he let his mother marry him.
Because of her mother, all the uncles in the Min family got up one by one, but what was the result?
"After all, I let her down. My mother took a breath again, and she can't die for the time being."
"..."
Facing the girl who was holding her neck Daughter, Min Tai's face became cold again, "Is this how your mother teaches you on weekdays?"
"It's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach you. I'm not my mother's daughter alone. I have to blame him." , you also have a share.”
"You...?"
Pa~
Min Tai was so angry that he gave her a whip on the spot, "If you say so, then I really need to teach you what the three cardinal principles and five constant principles are. What are the three obediences and four virtues!”
How can I give this stinky girl to Master Zhang if she doesn’t get better?
Thinking of this, he simply let go of his hand and started pumping again.
"...Hit me, beat me to death!"
Min Mei endured the pain and stared at her father.
Ever since she found out that her father was going to give her away as a concubine, she often had the urge to die instead of living.
Pa~
With the last whip, Min Tai threw it to the ground, "Your mother is not dead yet. Do you want to follow her example of crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself?"
He gasped, "Here comes..." As soon as he called for someone, his attendant hurried over, "Sir, General Tang has invited you!"
What?
Min Tai's heart skipped a beat, "I'll take care of you when I get back."
He turned around in a hurry and walked away after a while.
Only Yu Minmei slowly got up, closed the yard with difficulty, and went to her mother's room.
Fortunately, the tranquilizer in the medicine was very good and my mother was not awakened.
But...
When Min Mei leaned against the table and fell to the ground, tears fell heavily, but she did not cry a single sound.
My brother is missing.
It took a month for them to find out.
Although everyone said that his younger brother had gone to the capital, his grandfather was gone, and in the capital... who could take care of them?
She has seen her aunts shouting and killing their concubine children in wealthy families. At her grandfather’s house...
Min Mei was worried about her brother’s safety along the way, and at the same time she was worried about him touching her daughter. Will the government be beaten out?
If so...
Min Mei looked at her mother's pale face and really couldn't think of a way out for their mother and daughter.
Here, Min Tai rushed to the General Military Mansion with sweat on his face, but he didn't expect that General Tang, who had always been polite to him, greeted him with a smile, "Master Min, congratulations!"
Huh?
Min Tai didn't know why he was so happy, "Sir, you..."
He couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
"Haha, news just came from Beijing. The grandson of Rong Guogong and the son of a first-class general, Jia Lian, has now taken the post of doctor in the arsenal department and will take office soon. Haha, if I remember correctly , Your wife Jia is from Rongguo Mansion, right?”
Min Tai: "..."
He was simply shocked.
Jia Lian?
Jia Lian is not that old, right?
How come...
"My lord, I remember correctly!"
Min Tai looked at the huge waves surging in the center and said with a smile: "Xiaguan's wife Jia is from the Rongguo Mansion. Counting it, she is the third of the Jia doctors. Auntie."
"Hahaha, let me tell you, you are lucky."
Tang Zongbing slapped him on the shoulder, "My wife will host a banquet someday. But you must bring your lady.”
Ah?
"Absolutely, it's not an honor!"
Min Tai held on to his smile and talked to the commander-in-chief who was many levels higher than him.
But in fact, his heart was like frying.
He just returned home, and he didn't even look at Jia to see if she was still breathing.
“To say this is to be a heretic.”
Tang Zongbing personally sat him down, "I also know that you have suffered over the years, but we can't just focus on ourselves, we have to look at the benefits!"
Jia's matter, he Heard something. Duke Rong Guo made a mistake back then!
“Look at your brothers and brothers, they are slowly rising up because of you.”
Although there has been no movement in the past few years, the Min family’s The benefits have already arrived.
As long as those who have been promoted and made a fortune have some conscience, they cannot confine their daughters to the back house and marry them to a second wife with great fanfare.
There is really no success at all.
But now he can only coax Min Tai like this.
He has to get in touch with Jia Lian. Otherwise, how can he be given small shoes?
At that time, a large number of brothers will be affected, including the entire Yansui.
No matter how related Jia Lian and the Jia family were, at least they were once a family. Under the same circumstances, he could just lean this way.
"You have been married to Jia for many years, and she has given you a pair of good children. You must not get separated from her because of a second wife."
They are soldiers, Just say what you have to say.
Tang Zongbing was actually afraid of this fool and thought the Jia family was the former Jia family.
If that's the case, if someone expresses his anger, even if it's just a reduction in military pay, then the entire people of Yansui will be affected.
After all, soldiers have enough money to drink and eat meat.
Otherwise, you can only eat steamed buns.
“Don’t dare!”
Min Tai was so frightened by General Tang’s straightforward words that he broke into a cold sweat.
After leaving the General Military Mansion for a while, he rushed back quickly.
"Go and invite Dr. Fan from Jishi Hall to treat your wife."
As he walked in, he ordered, "By the way," he paused, "When you come, let Mr. The doctor came in with some more trauma medicine. "
When he beat his daughter, he whipped her three times in anger, but the rest was still strong.
But the three whips in front are not light either.
“Yes!”
The butler who greeted us hurriedly responded.
After a while, he arrived in front of Jia Ku's courtyard again.
It’s just this door...
Min Tai pushed it but didn’t open it.
He took a deep breath and said, "Send a message to Aunt Han to move the yard for Madam and Mr. Nie."
I just hope that his stupid son will not be able to enter the Rongguo Mansion.
He can't harm his father, can he?
His surname is also Min!
……
Capital, Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing the clean, thin and pitiful Min Jianbai, Jia Mu frowned tightly.
She was not happy to see the three concubines.
Give them food and drink, hire a husband, teach them what they need to teach, and give them some dowry when they are ready to get married.
If she gets married and has a hard time in her husband's family, is that her responsibility?
The husbands of the three concubines were all arranged by the Duke himself.
Although they were all married at a low age, that low marriage... Jia Mu knew that it was the best protection given to them by the Duke of the State.
As long as they are strong-minded, let alone being domineering in their husband's family, they will not be bullied like that no matter what.
"Niece-in-law, have you written a letter yet?"
She looked at Shen Ning and decided to leave the matter to her.
“Yes!”
Shen Ning nodded and said: "Zhen'er wrote it, and rushed to ask Lian'er to add a few strokes. It should be sent out now."
It should be quick by following the path of the army.
Now I just hope I can still make it in time.
“Alas~”
Jia Mu sighed, “Your name is Brother Bo, right? Come, come to grandma.”
Now that Lian'er has come forward, she has nothing to say.
"Grandma~"
Min Jianbai saw that the old lady was quite kind, so he became a little bolder. When he came forward to get closer, he cried: "Please grandma, please save my sister again."
"Don't worry, it's okay if your family doesn't know about this. If you know, your father won't dare."
Jia Min's face was very cold.
Of three sisters, two are gone.
When she was a child, she often played with her sisters.
Although their mother separated them when they grew older, her sisters always made her a handkerchief, shoes, etc. on New Year's Day or birthdays.
When she was learning to make rouge, her sisters also gave her a lot of advice. Later, she was the one who made their rouge.
“I’m going to write a letter to Governor Zhang’s wife.”
Do you think there is no one in her Jia family?
That old man Zhang actually dared to miss her niece.
Jia Min had a rosy look on her face, "Mom, sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll go and come back."
"Go!"
Shen Ning waved her hand.
For Governor Zhang, of course it would be better for Jia Min to take action.
"Jianbai, thank you, aunt!"
Min Jianbai knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.
“Get up!”
Jia Min helped him up personally, “What are you thanking me for? Your mother is my sister.”
At this point, her eyes couldn't help but look a little sad, "Follow your grandmother and aunts. I'll write the letter quickly, and maybe I can send it in time."
I just hope that my sister will It can still hold up.
Otherwise...
Jia Min went in a hurry.
She had just left when Jia She and Jia Zheng, who heard the news, also arrived.
"Feng'er, check who was guarding the door yesterday."
Now Mrs. Wang is afraid that the matter is not serious, "ask them how they do things?"
On the surface, She wanted to make a fuss. In fact, she wanted to punish her niece.
How many days have we been separated?
How many days have Lian'er been back?
I used to go to her every day to ask for permission, but now?
Do you really think the wings are hard?
"Second Master has already taken Lin Zhixiao to investigate."
Wang Xifeng said: "Second aunt, don't worry, I will give cousin Bai an explanation."
She I didn't expect that something like this would happen.
My own young cousin was actually turned away.
“We’ll talk about Menzi later.”
In Dream of Red Mansions, when Grandma Liu came over for the first time, everyone who wanted to see Zhou Rui’s family kowtowed to Menzi.
It is obvious that these servants of the Jia family have a pair of eyes for wealth.
“Let’s talk about the Min family!”
Shen Ning said: "When my sister married Min's brother-in-law, she was marrying low. What my uncle hoped was that the Min family would be nice to my sister because of the Jia family. Not to mention looking down upon her, at least not to talk to her about it. So he turned the corner and asked someone to take more care of her. Min’s brother-in-law’s other brothers.”
She has already asked Brother Bai and knows that in the past few years, except for Min Tai, who has not been promoted because of avoiding suspicion, everyone else has been mentioned.
Although the officials are not big, they are definitely enough in Yansui.
“But now, their family is ungrateful!”
“…”
"..."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Min Jianbai.
This child is also from the Min family.
“Don’t look at Brother Bai. Brother Bai has already said that his uncles all wish they could cut off their relationship with mother and son.”
Being pampered by thousands of people. The child was suddenly despised by everyone, even the people who served were superficially serving, but in fact they were monitoring...
Shen Ning could imagine how miserable Jia Kui, mother and son were living.
This kind of betrayal and stabbing from relatives is the most heartbreaking.
"Yes!"
Although there were tears in Brother Bo's eyes, his expression was very determined, "Since they want to sever ties with us, then... then they are not worthy of my mother. "Good luck."
"Good boy!"
Jia She had great admiration in his eyes, "He is indeed the grandson of my Jia family."
Although he has no feelings for the sister, since the child has defected to him and the sister-in-law has become prominent again, he will naturally give his full support.
"Mother, son, please write a letter and ask your sister to go home with your niece to save the bride!"
"Why save the bride?"
Shen Ning put the cup on the table Previous play, "Harmony!"
ah?
Jia Mu was stunned and looked at Brother Bo.
"Yes!" Brother Bo said, "My mother said that she wanted to reconcile with my father." He wiped away tears, "Originally, she wrote a few letters and asked me to hand them over. , but I failed every time. I wanted to do it myself, but I couldn’t hand it over at all.”
The Min family is still very powerful in Yansui.
"Grandma, eldest uncle, second uncle, please help my mother and my father reconcile!"
If he doesn't get along, his mother will really die.
