Red House Shoufu

Chapter 17 Conspiracy
The two most glorious mansions on Ningrong Street are Chizao Rongguo Mansion and Chizao Ningguo Mansion.

However, after three generations, the glory of the founding of the country has long since disappeared.Even compared to when Jia Daishan, the former Rong Guogong, was alive, he was not even a little bit worse.

Today there is no great dynasty, no matter whether it is Jia Amnesty who has no job as a successor.Jia Zheng, who was still sitting in the idle position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, did not go out.

In Rongxi Hall, the atmosphere was very strange at this time.

"Brother Lian, tell me the truth, who told you to report to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies for examination?"

Jia Shishi suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked Jia Lian who was standing in front of him in a bad tone.

She really didn't expect that after Jia Lian came back from Jiangnan, he went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies quietly, and even reported for the assessment of the general's son.

According to the imperial court system, after passing the examination, the imperial court will issue an order to completely determine the candidates for Rongguo Mansion to inherit the title.

Jia Lian has been the son of a general in name for almost 20 years, and Jia Shishi suppressed him so that he did not go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but was planning to change the heir in the future and let Baoyu inherit the family business.

But Jia Lian's move completely disrupted her plan.

Don't look at Jia Lian as a wealthy brother in the eyes of others. Every time he flies eagles and lackeys, listens to music and watches operas, but he is really proficient in everything.

This morning, as soon as the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion reported the results to Rongguo Mansion, the mansion immediately erupted.

Jia Lian looked at the angry Jia Shishi, although he felt sad, but he pretended to be puzzled.

He opened his mouth and said: "Isn't this just a coincidence that I met an acquaintance? When I asked, I went to the Dudu Mansion for an assessment. My grandson thought, anyway, I have to take the exam in the morning and evening. I happened to have time that day, so I took the exam by the way. Could it be that my grandson Not the heir of the mansion?"

Jia She, who was sitting next to him, almost didn't laugh out loud, and quickly drank tea to cover up his gaffe.

Jia Shishi wanted to refute, but he had no excuses. For a while, he really didn't know how to answer Jia Lian's question.

The Jia Wang family next to him couldn't bear it anymore. When did Jia Lian become the heir in the mansion?Where did you put my precious jade?

"Brother Lian, when did the heir of the mansion be decided? You take the treasure..."

"Even if there is an assessment, you should tell the mansion. The old woman is not dead, and you make your own claims. Do you still have my ancestor in your eyes?"

Jia Shi glared at Jia Wang, who was open-mouthed, and turned around to reprimand Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was furious, but still maintained a polite appearance: "If you go back to your ancestors, grandson wants to surprise your ancestors, don't you think this is a happy news delivered to your door today?"

puff……

Jia Amnesty took a sip of tea and spit it out: Surprise?I'm afraid it's frightening.

"Boss, do you have something to say?" Jia Shishi looked at Jia Amnesty with dissatisfaction, his face was frosty.

Jia Amnesty said nonchalantly: "I'm choking, I have nothing to say, mother, please continue, son listen."

For Jia Amnesty, Jia Shishi has no good solution. She can only continue to ask Jia Lian: "Since the assessment is over, you can go to Ping'an Prefecture to inspect our shop and Zhuangzi. Last year's harvest dropped sharply. Go and have a look." What's going on."

This is to transfer me out of the capital so that I can do some shameful tricks!
Jia Lian sneered in his heart, and replied respectfully: "If we go back to our ancestors, my grandson may not be able to go. This morning, Xia Shouzhong, Eunuch Xia, who is beside His Majesty, sent a letter saying that when the decree is issued, my grandson will go to the Dragon Guards as an errand." gone."

"you!"

Jia Shishi went up against the crime, this time she really couldn't help it.The old lady glared angrily and reprimanded loudly: "The wings are hard, aren't they? Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter in advance? The grandson of the dignified Duke wants to hang out with the army. You lost everything! Hurry up and quit me..."

Everyone in the room was scared by Jia Shishi's sudden anger and dared not speak, but Jia She and his son didn't take it seriously.

One is that he doesn't care at all, and the other is that he has already prepared in his heart.I saw Jia Lian bowing slightly: "Old ancestor, my grandson doesn't know what's wrong with serving as an errand in the Dragon Guard. The ancestors of the Jia family started in the army, and the grandfather was also a soldier. Wu Xun's children don't hang out with soldiers. Is it true that every day? Are you playing rouge with the maids?"

Jia Lian contemplated Jia Baoyu, and then said arrogantly: "Besides, my grandson was given the position of a fifth-rank dragon guard by his majesty to guard the Qianqing Palace. How can my grandson be so rewarded and reused by your majesty? How about some trivial matters that push away His Majesty's grace?"

Five ranks and thousands of households?Guarding the Qianqing Palace, that is what people often call guards with swords in front of the imperial court!

Jia Wangshi almost wrote jealousy on his face, and Jia Zheng's heart was also very sour.Only Jia Shishi, she had long forgotten her anger, instead she was full of fear.

Is the emperor ready to attack the Jia family?Jia Lian went to the emperor's side, what would the Supreme Emperor of Longshou Palace think of Jia's family?Do you think the Jia family betrayed him?

Will even those families allied with the Jia family no longer trust Ningrong and Rongfu?

Anger, fear, and helplessness were intertwined in her heart, and she suddenly felt dizzy. Before the mandarin duck next to her could react, she closed her eyes and fell down on the soft couch.

The Rongguo Mansion ran wild for a while, waiting for the doctor to ask for medicine, and it was not until evening that Jia Shishi woke up leisurely.

Seeing the nervous second son Jia Zheng next to him, Jia Shi felt a little relieved.

"Zheng'er, where's the boss? And where did that bastard Jia Lian go?"

Jia Zheng quickly replied: "Big brother went back to Dongkua Hospital after the imperial physician left, and Lian'er was called away by Xia Shouzhong."

"Things of disloyalty and unfilial piety are inherited from father to son..." Jia Shishi cursed, suddenly remembered that the eldest son was also born to him, and then stopped talking.

Jia Zheng asked anxiously: "Mother, the decree is about to be issued, what should we do?"

Jia Shishi calmed down now, she comforted Jia Zheng and said, "It's okay, the decree canonize it, and announce that all princes in the world can be abolished, let alone a general's son."

She took out a box from a hidden compartment next to the bed, and handed it to Jia Zheng with great care: "Tomorrow, we will send someone to contact our people in the palace, and deliver this box to Sister Yuan. Remember, you must hand it to Yuan with your own hands." Sister."

"Mother, what's in it?" Jia Zheng took it in doubt, and he couldn't help asking curiously.

Jia Shi looked towards the east, and whispered in Jia Zheng's ear: "This is about the life experience of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law in Dongfu. She is the illegitimate daughter of the old Prince Yizhong."

"What? Since it's that person's blood, isn't our family..." Jia Zheng screamed, and Jia Shi quickly covered his mouth.

Just heard Jia Shishi say: "Although that person is dead, the people under him still follow his bloodline loyally. As long as Sister Yuan tells the emperor about this, a great fortune will come."

Jia Zheng felt that this matter was inappropriate. After all, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is now the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. The matter was involved in rebellion, and that would punish the nine clans. Will the emperor let the Jia family go?
