King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 215
Zhu Jinghong took the knife back, and Jia Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground for the rest of her life, remained in her original state and did not dare to move.

"That's the end of this matter. If there is another trouble in your family, I will not forgive you lightly!"

"Thank you... Thank you Thirteenth Master for your forgiveness!"

Zhu Jinghong ignored Jia Zhen, sheathed the knife and went straight to the bedroom, followed by all the accompanying eunuchs.

After a few breaths, only Jia Zhen was left kneeling outside the gate, and he hadn't recovered from the fright.

About ten seconds later, Jia Zhen stood up after confirming that Zhu Jinghong had left.

It's just that his legs were a little disobedient, and he almost fell to the ground, and he finally managed to stabilize his figure.

After taking a few breaths, Jia Zhen finally understood why her father hid in the Taoist temple and refused to come out.

He could imagine how much pressure his own father, as the helm of the family, was under ten years ago.

Even he wants to hide in the Taoist temple at this moment, it is normal for his father who is under more pressure to become a monk.

After taking off the official hat, tremblingly took out the handkerchief, and wiped off the sweat on her forehead, Jia Zhen turned and walked outside the palace.

It can be seen that every step of his walk is very difficult, just because his legs are still not in control.

All the way out of the palace, Jia Zhen went to the place where her family was, and when she got close, a house slave found him.

Soon Jia Lian came up to meet her, and now Jia Zhen was supported by the servants.

"Is something wrong?" Jia Lian asked the most critical question.

Jia Zhen nodded, and didn't mean to say more. At this moment, he just wanted to go home early.

"What did Master Thirteen say?"

"Let's go back and talk!"

Since Jia Zhen didn't want to say more, Jia Lian had nothing to do with him, but as long as he knew what was going on, it would be fine.

When they were rushing back all the way, Zhu Jinghong had already sent eunuchs to invite Qin Ye, and he wanted to explain this matter clearly to Qin Ye.

Qin Ye was still free in the Ministry of Industry, so he set off immediately when he was summoned, and appeared in front of Zhu Jinghong in less than a moment.

After Qin Ye saw the ceremony, Zhu Jinghong said, "There is some misunderstanding about the matter between you and the Jia family!"

"Although the thief has not been caught yet, it has been confirmed that he was not ordered by the Jia family. This matter... let's stop here!"

That is to say, Zhu Jinghong has already made a note of this account because he was swayed by the sixth child in vain, and he will definitely avenge him in the future.

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, Qin Ye quickly replied: "Thank you, Lord Thirteen, for your concern. This matter has been properly dealt with by the minister and the Jia family!"

As long as the misunderstanding is made clear, and after a few days of calm thinking, a settlement will be reached.

Neither the Jia family nor the Qin family wanted to make this matter worse.

"That's great!" Zhu Jinghong nodded.

When Zhu Jinghong was talking nonsense with Qin Ye here, Zhu Jingyuan had just returned to the palace from Jixian Pavilion.

In the morning, the old man went to Shanglinyuan. He planned to go with him to have a look, but there was a disagreement among the scholars in revising the memorandum, which made it impossible for Zhu Jingyuan to make the trip.

When he completed the coordination, the inspection at Shanglin Garden had already been completed, so there was no need for him to go again.

But the prince was summoned, which aroused his curiosity again.

After entering the inner house, Chen Zhi was sitting on the porch, copying scriptures with a pen.

The queen likes flowers and plants, so she plants flowers and plants to please her. The purpose of transcribing scriptures is also for this purpose.

Ignoring Chen Zhi, Zhu Jingyuan went straight to the house, but before he crossed the threshold, he heard his wife's voice.

"Just now, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion met the old thirteenth, and she has left the palace safe and sound!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help feeling excited, so he turned and walked towards Chen Zhi.

A eunuch brought a stool, Zhu Jingyuan sat down and asked, "Is that how the old thirteen let you go?"

Chen Zhi put down the pen, picked up the paper and blew it carefully, then put away the maid who was handing it to her side, and the maid on the other side spread the paper again.

"It's not that simple. The old thirteen put all the knives on Jia Zhen's neck. It's his life that Jia Zhen didn't get scared to death!"

"I heard from the eunuch that Jia Zhen walked out by leaning on the wall!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhi looked at Zhu Jingyuan and said, "You said this old thirteen is really ruthless...can scare people like this!"

Her words brought back bad memories for Zhu Jingyuan.

When Zhu Jinghong received an assignment to train the army, Zhu Jingyuan went to the door to test it out, and was threatened by his own brother.

"Whoever dares to harm me, I will hack him to death!"

More than half a month has passed, and Zhu Jingyuan still remembers this sentence at this moment, and still remembers Zhu Jinghong's indifferent expression at that time.

"Hey hey...what are you thinking?"

"No...nothing!"

Zhu Jingyuan hastily defended, and Chen Zhi saw at a glance what he was trying to hide.

"What about this time? You really don't plan to make a move?"

Asking this question showed that Chen Zhi was not reconciled, she was unwilling to let go of this great opportunity.

Zhu Jingyuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it...don't bring this up again!"

Now that the Shengshou Festival is coming, the old man has already said hello, how dare Zhu Jingyuan make trouble.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't intend to intervene in the affairs of the Jia and Qin families, but to drive a wedge between Zhu Jinghong and the prince.

But who knows, Zhu Jinghong didn't get angry directly, and obviously the divorce matter fell through.

Zhu Jingyuan asked puzzledly: "You said that a person like the fourth child can make the thirteenth give up his heart?"

The few people serving here are confidantes of his confidants, so Zhu Jingyuan dared to ask questions directly like this.

Glancing at Zhu Jingyuan, Chen Zhi said, "It's only natural for an honest person like Lao Thirteen to get along with a straight person like Lao Si!"

"Hmph, I don't believe he can't be pulled over!" At this time, Zhu Jingyuan also lost his temper.

Besides, when Jia Zhen returned to the mansion, all the brothers and uncles rushed over and asked what happened.

However, Jia Zhen didn't say much, and just asked someone to bring a jug of wine.

When the wine arrived, the guy drank it while holding the jug, and he gradually calmed down after drinking.

"What's going on? Tell me!" Mother Jia scolded.

"Back to the ancestors, the Thirteenth Lord believed in his grandson's explanation, and decided not to pursue it anymore!"

Although this result was already guessed, when Jia Zhen said it, everyone in the Jia family breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Jia Jing said: "Zhen'er, please explain the details of this audience carefully!"

Jia Jing was his own father, so Jia Zhen dared not listen to him, so she told all the details, only beautifying her own response.

Although it was an observation, when they learned that Jia Zhen was stabbed around the neck, the entire Jia family was shocked.

If this is a wrong answer, the head may fall to the ground.

Under such circumstances, Jia Zhen was able to deal with it properly, which really made the whole clan admire.

As the patriarch, Jia Zhen finally concluded: "Recently, our family has encountered many things, and every time it is a disaster!"

"These times we were lucky enough to avoid misfortune, but next time it may not be so. We must all be vigilant, and there must be no more incidents!"

"We must continue to clean up the family tradition internally, and be kind and reasonable externally. I would rather suffer a little loss than offend others!"

Speaking of this, Jia Zhen looked at Brother Jia She and said, "What do you two uncles think?"

Jia She and the two nodded. They naturally supported Jia Zhen's proposal, just because they understood how difficult the family was.

At this time, Jia Jing said: "There is a miasma in the clan, because the clan members don't know etiquette, don't follow Confucius and Mencius, don't understand the scriptures, and don't know the benefits...I think the only way to trace the source is to clean up the family education!"

The current school of Jia's family is definitely called a miasma, and those who are in charge of it have heard of it.

Some time ago, to rectify the family style, I set a lot of rules for the school, but because the people who go to school are the sons and daughters of the house, the effect of discipline is really not good.

"It's possible..." Jia Zheng was the first to nod.

Jia Amnesty also stroked his beard and replied: "It is precisely to strictly rectify and let the juniors learn the rules!"
