King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 197

After all, Jia Rong was the eldest grandson of the eldest house, and the news that he was seriously injured spread quickly in the two prefectures.

Not long after the two of Jia Lian arrived, Jia's mother and others also rushed over, but Jia Zhen, the culprit, went out.

Because he also knew that such a big incident in the mansion would easily attract questions from the elders.

It's not that Jia Zhen is afraid, after all, it's only natural for me to beat my son, but he is in a bad mood now and doesn't want to listen to the elders' nagging.

The doctor is treating Jia Rong, first helping Jia Rong to connect his dislocated arm, and then starting to help him deal with the trauma.

The whole process was like killing a pig, and the servants who served inside and outside were terrified, and their fear of Jia Zhen inevitably increased.

Everyone was afraid that Mother Jia would be too worried, so they only let her stay in the room for a while, and then helped her to the outer hall.

"This one who killed a thousand swords, Rong'er is his own son, and he was able to deal with such a vicious hand... Tiger poison doesn't even eat its own son!"

While talking, Jia Mu wiped her tears, and the mandarin duck who was waiting beside her hurriedly took out her handkerchief.

Jia Zheng also sighed: "Exactly... Zhen'er did go too far this time!"

At this time, Mother Jia looked at You Shi, and asked coldly, "There must be a reason for beating someone, what's going on?"

In this era, it is normal for women to blame their husbands.

"Old ancestor, this... the granddaughter-in-law was not there at the time. I just asked the girl, and said that the master had a bad face when he came out of the garden. Seeing Rong'er joking with the girl..."

"That's...that's the lesson!" Youshi stammered, trying to cover up for Jia Zhen.

Hearing what she said, Jia She and his son looked at each other, confirming the guess just now, that Jia Rong suffered from an innocent disaster.

At this time Youshi said: "It's the girl who told me that... the master was drinking and listening to operas in the garden, and he was in a good mood. During that time, he met Lian's second brother, and he got angry when he came out!"

"Lian Er...is there such a thing?"

Jia Lian had no choice but to answer: "Back to the ancestors, my grandson has met Brother Zhen and told him something!"

"What did you tell Zhen'er?" Mother Jia asked sternly.

"It was Master Thirteen who sent a message to Brother Zhen..."

Jia Lian only said half a sentence, but did not point out Zhu Jinghong's request directly, because this is a family scandal after all, and there are too many people around at the moment, so it is not convenient to talk about it.

At this moment, Mother Jia and the others were surprised. They didn't expect that there were such hidden secrets in the matter.

Mother Jia immediately asked, "What message did the Thirteenth Master pass to him?"

Everyone present was extremely curious, including the waiters and maids, after all, people in ancient and modern times love to listen to gossip.

Jia Lian showed embarrassment: "The old ancestor...some things are not convenient to say, let them all go down!"

Knowing that there might be something hidden, Mother Jia let the servants go out, leaving only her confidants inside to wait on them.

Seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, Jia Lian sighed and said, "Brother Zhen told Rong'er about their marriage. She is the daughter of the Qin family, Qin Ye, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry!"

Jia Zheng knew this matter best, after all, he was the one who made the match.

"Unexpectedly, the Qin family wants to regret the marriage now. They have gone to the house to talk about it several times a few days ago, but they were all rejected by Brother Zhen..."

Jia Zheng also knew about this matter, and Qin Ye wanted to ask him to mediate, but Jia Zheng refused.

Jia Zheng couldn't afford to lose the marriage with the matchmaking person, let alone his family's face.

"I thought we were safe and sound, but Qin Ye went to the Thirteenth Master to complain about his problems, and the Thirteenth Master agreed to make the decision for him, so he sent a message to his grandson..."

Having said that, Jia Lian lowered her head: "Let grandson tell Brother Zhen that he has voluntarily resigned from the marriage!"

Mother Jia understood the matter. There is no doubt that this is a humiliation to the Jia family, and it is no wonder that Jia Zhen is so angry.

"He's angry...you can't vent your anger on Rong'er, that's his own son...his own son!"

At the end, Jia's mother even patted the table, obviously very angry with Jia Zhen.

Everyone hurriedly appeased, fearing that something unexpected would happen to Jiamu, and the matter would be even more difficult to end.

At any rate, after calming down, Mother Jia also knew that what had happened was irreversible, so she asked, "What about the divorce...how did Zhener say it?"

Jia Lian replied: "Since it is the words of the thirteenth master, although Brother Zhen is unwilling, he can only agree!"

After hearing this, Mother Jia just sighed helplessly, she still understood the reason why her arms couldn't twist her thighs.

"This thirteenth master... is too bullying!"

"A marriage contract has always been a matter of marrying and marrying two families. How can there be an outsider pointing fingers!"

The sudden objection attracted the attention of everyone at the scene, and the person involved, Jia Baoyu, faced each other frankly.

"Baoyu, you can't talk nonsense!" Jia Lian said coldly.

"Second brother, secretly thought I was wrong?" Jia Baoyu asked back.

"Being married since ancient times, what the parents ordered and the matchmaker's words, is it wrong?"

Jia Lian was very angry, but he couldn't find anything to say for a while, because Jia Baoyu was right, and Zhu Jinghong meddled in this matter.

At this moment, Jia Amnesty said, "Baoyu...you don't understand anything, so you'd better say a few words less!"

"Uncle...is my nephew wrong?"

Jia Amnesty sneered, looked at Jia Zheng with deep meaning on his face, and said, "That's right...you and I don't count!"

Jia Amnesty was reminding Jia Zheng to take care of his son quickly and stop talking incoherently.

The reality of this world is that the words of those with a strong waist can only make sense, and the Jia family is naturally no stronger than Zhu Jinghong.

"Baoyu, don't be rude to Uncle Ni!" Jia Zheng taught with a straight face.

Although he also agreed with Jia Baoyu's words, Zhu Jinghong was kind to the Jia family because of his kindness, and Yuli's family was powerful and high-ranking, so Jia Zheng had to succumb to reality.

Seeing these three people bullying their precious grandson, Jia's mother immediately reprimanded: "Huh... I think Baoyu is right. We have reasoned about this matter. Why don't you all dare to say it?"

"Be obsequious to outsiders, but stern to juniors, you two brothers can really do it!"

Seeing that the old mother was confused, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but said: "Mother... the Thirteenth Master has strictly ordered, what can we do?"

Jia Mu was furious: "It can't be done, but being bullied for nothing, should it be taken for granted?"

Jia Baoyu was extremely proud, after all, there are ancestors in this house who love him.

Seeing that the old mother was getting more and more outrageous, Jia She said in a low voice: "Mother...be careful!"

Jia Zheng also said, "Mother...don't lose your word, it's a lesson from the past!"

Now that they have finally settled down, the two brothers don't want to cause trouble, after all, nothing is as good as a stable life.

Mother Jia also calmed down at this moment, of course she knew that she couldn't resist, and she just took the opportunity to spread her anger.

Originally, Mother Jia was about to go down the slope, but at this moment Jia Baoyu said: "Old Ancestor, we don't have to be afraid of the Thirteenth Master, you are always a first-rank wife, why don't you go to the palace to meet the Queen and tell him!"

All imperial wives above the third rank can enter the palace to see the queen, but they may not be able to be summoned.

It seems that there are very few edicts above the third rank, but in the capital there are many nobles and nobles, and the number of people is at least four to five hundred.

Even if only one-tenth of them enter the palace every day, there will be 50 or [-] people, and the queen will not be able to see her at all.

What's more, there are differences between distant and close relatives. For a marginalized family like the Jia family, it is difficult to see the queen several times a year.

After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, everyone including the maid looked at him like a fool.

At this time, Jia Lian couldn't help reminding: "Baoyu... don't you know that the empress is the birth mother of Lord Thirteen?"
