King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 142 The Noisy Jia Family

Zhu Jinghong was trying to explain, but Zhu Jingyuan and his wife on the other side had already returned to the mansion by car.

It was already late at night, but Prince Rui and his wife didn't intend to sleep, but came to the study to sit alone.

"Today it was a little bit close, what a pity!"

"If the old man is really asked to strictly investigate Jia's family, our business will be settled!"

Chen Zhi was in a depressed mood, but seeing that Zhu Jingyuan didn't say a word, she said dissatisfiedly, "You did say something!"

"It's already like this, what's the use of talking more, the important thing is what to do next!"

"The old man doesn't want to touch Jia's house. No matter how much you and I say, it's useless. Do you really think the old man doesn't know what we're thinking?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jingyuan sighed and said: "Mother can't pass that test, let alone the old man's test!"

Chen Zhi also agreed with this, and she said with regret on her face: "In this case, we are too hasty!"

"The pretext of being born with a jade title is wasted in vain!"

The trick of "Born with Jade" was promoted by the Jia Mansion. It had been known to Prince Rui and his wife as early as Yuan Chun when they married into the Prince's Mansion, but they just refrained from making use of it.

This time, taking advantage of the disastrous defeat of the prince in Jinling and the impeachment of the courtiers at home and abroad, Zhu Jingyuan thought of taking the prince down with all his might.

But Zhu Jingyuan picked up the teacup and said slowly: "In two days' time, the grand court meeting will still be lively, so don't worry!"

In today's Ming Dynasty, the Great Court Meeting is held on the first day of every month. Although it is a ceremonial court meeting, it will also discuss some practical affairs.

"Leaving aside the matter of the Great Court Meeting, there is something you need to pay attention to!" Chen Zhi said slowly.

"What's the matter?"

"You should pay more attention to attracting the old thirteen!"

"Today's matter, if he speaks for us, how can the crown prince survive tonight safely?"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded and said, "We have to find a chance to prepare things according to his preferences, don't you think?"

"It's been a waste of work tonight!" Chen Zhi was helpless.

…………

Besides, Jia Baoyu, who fainted, was sent to the gate of the palace and handed over to Jia Lian who was waiting outside.

"Thank you, father-in-law, what happened to my brother?" Jia Lian was full of doubts.

The leading eunuch sneered and said, "The lord was furious and reprimanded your Jia family, your brother fainted from fright!"

Just such a sentence, let alone Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian's heart tightened when he heard it, and his whole body was in panic.

There is no doubt that the news revealed by the eunuch is very important, and Jia Lian must express it.

"Thank you so much, father-in-law, you can use the money to buy tea!"

After receiving the bank note from the servant, Jia Lian handed it over respectfully, and these eunuchs would naturally not be polite to him.

So Jia Lian asked a few more questions, and the eunuch who took the money could talk better, and told him everything he could say.

After loading Jia Baoyu into the carriage, Jia Lian immediately sent his slave back on horseback, and he wanted to send the news back as soon as possible.

The carriage staggered and rushed to Ningrong Street after leaving the imperial city.

Jia Lian looked worried, but he checked Baoyu's situation from time to time, and the latter's face was also full of worry.

The house slaves who returned early had sent the news back to the mansion, so that in the middle of the night, the core members of the Jia family were all waiting outside the door.

"Here we come..." Wang Xifeng was the first to speak.

Shocked, everyone raised their eyes to look at the street, and saw a carriage approaching slowly.

The carriage approached and stopped, and Jia Zheng and his wife immediately greeted them. Obviously, they were most worried about their son.

"Baoyu, my Baoyu!" Mrs. Wang said with a tear in her voice.

"Ma'am, Baoyu just fainted, nothing serious!"

Jia Lian got out of the carriage, jumped to the ground and ordered his servants to carry him, and moved Baoyu out of the carriage in a few strokes.

Jia Zheng also surrounded him at this moment, although he was usually strict with Baoyu, the worry on his face was real now.

"Carry it in quickly, let the doctor diagnose and treat quickly!" Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered around.

At this moment, Jia Amnesty also walked down the steps, and asked Jia Lian in a cold voice, "Lien'er, what's going on?"

"Father, let's go in and talk!" Jia Lian bowed and saluted.

Then everyone entered the mansion together, planning to discuss matters in the Rongxi Hall, but Jia Mu found out about the situation and let them enter the inner house to tell her.

I didn't want to make the elders troublesome, but Jia's mother had already ordered, and everyone in the Jia family had no choice but to go.

When she came to Jiamu's courtyard, she had already recovered, and she just sat on the soft couch in spirit.

"what happened?"

Facing the elders, Jia Lian replied: "The inner eunuch said that the Holy One was furious and reprimanded our family. Brother Bao fainted in fright!"

Hearing these words, everyone in the Jia family was shrouded in panic, as if the end of the family had arrived.

It's really not that they are timid, it's just that the holy majesty started his career in the army and has done a lot of killing and extermination.

Compared with the big case that killed many families and even involved tens of thousands of people back then, the extermination of the Jia family is not even a big deal.

"Why is the Holy One so angry?" Jia Mu asked immediately.

The Xue family's mother and daughter who were also in the house were also very curious about this question, and they rushed over after Jia's mother fainted.

"Just because..."

Speaking of this, Jia Lian looked at Jia Zheng and his wife, and hesitated for a moment.

"You bastard, what time is it, why don't you hurry up and say it!" Jia She angrily scolded.

"Just because of Brother Bao's son jade!"

"What's wrong with Yu?" Mother Jia asked hastily.

"Princess Rui said that it is really rare to be born with jade, and it is strange to be born in our common people's family. She suspects that our family has bad intentions and intentions..."

"what?"

Everyone in the Jia family was shocked, how could they bear such a crime, it made everyone almost jump in anxiety.

"What did the Holy Majesty say?"

"Fortunately, Sister Yuanchun explained that it was a rumor in the family, so the empress did not continue to pursue it!"

After hearing this, everyone felt a little more at ease.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng, his eyes were full of anger, and he was already thinking about how to label his brother.

Not only does he want to regain control of the family, but he also wants to protect the family by himself instead of letting Jia Zheng mess around.

At this time, Jia Mu asked: "What happened later?"

"Later, Prince Rui spoke loudly again... saying that our family used the method of witchcraft to hate victory, which made the Thirteenth Lord convulse and go crazy, and wanted to take the Thirteenth Lord's life for Baoyu!"

Witch Gu hates the method of winning... Hearing these six words, everyone in the Jia family broke out in cold sweat again, even more frightened than before.

Using witchcraft to take the prince's life, if this matter is confirmed, the disaster of destroying the family will never escape.

"What happened next?" Jia Zheng couldn't sit still anymore, and asked while wiping off a cold sweat.

Jia Lian replied: "Fortunately, the Thirteenth Master woke up in time and came out to distinguish a few words for our family in front of the emperor. The Holy Majesty has no intention of pursuing it!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Jia family breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had walked around the Palace of the King of Hell.

Only Baochai was different. Standing behind her mother, she was thinking that what she expected was right, Zhu Jinghong would not do anything against the Jia family.

"What happened next?" Mother Jia asked again.

"I mentioned it later..." At this point, Jia Lian looked at Jia Zheng again.

"Say!" Jia She was furious.

Jia Lian had no choice but to reply: "The matter of Baoyu eating rouge later on, I somehow got out of it, which aroused the anger of the Holy One... reprimanded Baoyu and our family!"

"Second brother, look... this is the good son you taught, and what a disaster it has brought to our family!" Jia She's tone became more severe.

The above-mentioned incidents, in any case, were caused by Baoyu, so that Jia Amnesty was angry, and Jia's mother was not easy to speak out.
