Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 356 Jia Lian’s future

People have been keeping an eye on the entire Jia family.

Now it's good, Jia Lian has given people a clue, and the people in Yushitai and Qingliu will naturally not be polite.

Jia She walked up and down the hall in annoyance. Although he wanted to save Jia Lian very much, there was really nothing he could do.

"Where is Brother Lian's wife?" Mother Jia seemed to feel that someone was missing in the hall, and then she thought it was Wang Xifeng who hadn't come yet.

Yuanyang quickly explained: "Old lady, I haven't informed Second Grandma Lian yet!"

Only then did Jia Mu react, then patted her forehead, and said to Yuanyang: "Hurry up and find Lian's second wife, ask her to come over, and let's discuss an idea."

Yuanyang heard this and hurried out to make arrangements.

At this time, Wang Xifeng seemed to be fine, holding her son Jia Ping and taking a walk in his small yard!

The mother and son were interacting happily when an old lady came over quickly.

"Second Grandma, the old lady asks you to come over."

Wang Xifeng raised his head and glanced at the old woman, then slowly handed the son in her arms to the nanny who was taking care of him.

"What's the matter with the old lady?" Wang Xifeng asked calmly.

The old woman raised her head and glanced at Wang Xifeng, then quickly lowered her head.

Wang Xifeng said expressionlessly: "There is no need to betray anyone. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

"Second Grandma is in trouble. Second Master Lian secretly ran back from the Northeast and was arrested by the Yamen as soon as he returned to Beijing." The old grandma said in a fuss.

Ping'er, who was handing Wang Xifeng a towel, trembled when he heard these words, then quickly glanced at Wang Xifeng, and then lowered his head.

Wang Xifeng seemed to be very shocked, and the hand holding the towel stopped in mid-air.

"But is it true? If you tell nonsense, I will beat you dozens of times." Wang Xifeng asked very anxiously.

"Second Grandma, even if you are very brave, you would not dare to slander your master. It is indeed Second Master Lian who was arrested, and it was Aunt Qionghua who reported the news to the old lady." The old grandma started to call Tianqu.

Wang Xifeng became very anxious and quickly threw away the towel in her hand, then pointed to a few maids and hurried out.

Ping'er followed Wang Xifeng closely, came outside and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, are our second master okay?"

Wang Xifeng frowned, glanced at Ping'er, and then said calmly: "What can happen? The most I can do is suffer some punishment."

After saying that, he quickly took a few steps forward and distanced himself from Heping'er.

The group of people hurriedly arrived at Rongqing Hall, without the maids raising the curtain, Wang Xifeng went in anxiously.

After coming in, Wang Xifeng did not bow to Jia Mu first as usual, but asked anxiously: "What happened to our Lian Er? Who was arrested? Who is so brave and risking his life?"

Jia Mu saw that Wang Xifeng was already at a loss, but she did not blame him, but felt relieved for a while.

This granddaughter-in-law seemed to be in a hot mood, but she still cared about Jia Lian in her heart. When she saw something happened to him, she couldn't hold on anymore.

"What are you talking about? With an old immortal like me here, who can do anything to him?" Jia Mu pretended to scold him.

Wang Xifeng seemed to have regained some of her composure now, and quickly stepped forward to salute Jia Mu, Jia She and Mrs. Xing.

After that, Jia Mu told Wang Xifeng what had happened and what she and Jia She had guessed.

After Wang Xifeng heard this, she seemed to be trembling with fear and couldn't even speak normal words.

Mother Jia shook her head, and then asked Yuanyang to help Wang Xifeng sit next to her, "You, you are so strong usually, why do you become like this when something happens?"

However, seeing Wang Xifeng trembling and crying, she did not continue talking. Instead, she turned to Jia She and said, "Send someone to the nearby mansion and call Brother Rui over again."

Jia She agreed and was about to go out, but was soon stopped by Jia Mu, "Wait a minute, don't send outsiders, go there yourself."

Jia She turned around and said, "Son, I understand. I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Jia She hurriedly left Rongqing Hall.

After Jia She left, Jia Mu ordered her maid to help Qionghua, who was still kneeling there, up.

After Qionghua stood up, she came to Wang Xifeng's side with a very eye-catching look. She said a thousand blessings and then knelt down on the ground.

Wang Xifeng looked Qionghua up and down, and finally had to admit that this little girl was really good-looking. No wonder Jia Lian was fascinated by her.

"Okay, get up." Wang Xifeng said lightly.

Only then did Qionghua dare to stand up, and then stood beside Wang Xifeng like a maid.

Seeing this scene, Jia Mu, who was sitting in the middle, nodded secretly. It seemed that although this little girl was born in Nanman, she was still quite smart and knew how to learn the etiquette of the Central Plains.

Since the other party is so well-behaved, Jia Mu will give her a good look without disturbing the order of Rongguo Mansion.

So Jia Mu took a little baby from her other side and said to Wang Xifeng:

"This is Brother Lian's second son. As a mother, you haven't seen him yet."

Children born to concubines in wealthy families have to be called "mother" by the head wife, while one's own biological mother can only be called "aunt". Wang Xifeng felt a little displeased, but she still had a forced smile on her face, "That's really good, and it can be considered as a blessing for our second master."

Regarding Wang Xifeng's answer, Jia's mother was very satisfied, "It's good if you can think of it this way. This child will be a helper to little Jia Ping in the future. Isn't there a saying? When a father and his son go into battle, they are brothers fighting tigers." "

Wang Xifeng nodded with an embarrassed smile, and then looked at the baby in Jia Mu's arms.

Don't tell me, this little guy is really beautiful. To be honest, this little guy is more beautiful than their Jia Ping.

In fact, this is normal. You must know that Jia Lian and Qiong Hua are both handsome one-on-one.

As for their little Jia Ping, although her mother Wang Xifeng is considered a top beauty, her father Jia Rui has an ordinary appearance.

In terms of eugenics and nurturing, Jia Ping's appearance is worse than this child's.

However, Wang Xifeng does not admit this. She thinks that their little Jia Ping is more pleasing to the eye.

The waiting time passed quickly, and after a while, Jia Rui followed Jia She into the Hall of Rongxi.

As soon as Jia Rui came in, the maids and women in Rongqing Hall immediately greeted Jia Rui. Jia Rui nodded gently and they were free of courtesy.

Then, Jia Rui stepped forward and bowed to Jia Mu, and then sat on Jia Mu's side.

After sitting firmly, Jia Rui said: "I heard from Uncle She that Brother Lian was arrested by the Yamen?"

After hearing this, Jia Mu said with some embarrassment: "This unsatisfactory thing will only cause trouble for the family."

Jia Rui quickly comforted him, "It's not all Brother Lian's fault. It's my big tree that attracts the wind. There are too many people staring at our Ningrong Street."

Mother Jia felt it made sense, "Hey, I can't blame you. Let's quickly think about how to rescue Jia Lian."

After saying this, Jia Mu stared at Jia Rui closely.

Jiarui lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. After all, Brother Lian did something wrong, and the time he rushed was when the concubine passed away. The emperor was very sad. If he saw such a If you write this memorial, you will definitely vent your anger on Brother Lian."

What Jia Rui said was not to lie to Jia Mu.

He had just returned from the palace, and something happened in the sky not long ago.

One of the concubines of the ninth son of the Supreme Emperor, for some unknown reason, smiled slightly in front of Concubine Zhen's soul, but it was unlucky that the Supreme Emperor happened to see her.

It's over now, the Supreme Emperor is looking for someone to vent his anger on.

The concubine was immediately pulled out and killed with a cane.

As for the Emperor's son, that prince didn't even dare to say anything.

Moreover, the only ones who can confront Jia Rui are the Qingliu under the emperor, and the one who has this ability is Li Wanneng, the censor of Zuodu.

Although this guy is very clean and upright, he is also a bit tricky.

Li Wanneng had been looking for an opportunity to bring down Jia Rui. This time, if he had this opportunity, he would naturally cut through the mess quickly. I am afraid that the memorial to impeach Jia Rui has been sent to the emperor.

"What should we do?" Jia She asked in panic.

Jia Rui rubbed his head and then said: "It's not a big problem, but Brother Lian may not be spared this time. Being sent away is expected."

Wang Xifeng was startled and asked involuntarily: "Will this implicate our Jia Ping?"

After saying this, Wang Xifeng knew that she had made a mistake.

Fortunately, Jia Mu did not blame Wang Xifeng. She believed that Wang Xifeng was acting out of maternal instinct and did not really care about Jia Lian.

"It's not a big deal with Jia Ping. After all, he is the heir to the Rongguo Mansion that the Emperor personally decreed some time ago. The Emperor will not slap him in the face so quickly." Jia Rui said confidently.

The reason why he is so confident is because his position in the heart of the Supreme Emperor is unshakable.

Even if Jia Ping was involved this time, Jia Rui was able to put in a good word in front of the Supreme Emperor, but in the end it was just a matter of telling a few jokes with the Supreme Emperor to solve the problem.

Wang Xifeng felt relieved after hearing what Jia Rui said.

Jia She was a little worried, "Then where will this criminal be sent? Will his life be in danger?"

Jia Rui thought for a moment, and then said: "This is not a big deal. I also have connections in the Ministry of Punishment. As long as we talk, it will be up to us to decide where we will be assigned."

Mother Jia frowned and asked, "Is there no other way? Is it the only way to get married?"

"Old lady, the people fighting in the court are like black-eyed chickens. The people on the emperor's side and the people on the side of Prince Yi Zhong's palace are all staring at us! We have to give an explanation to the world." Jia Rui said on the surface. Explain to Jia's mother that she has actually made up her mind to let Jia Lian be married.

Wouldn't it be nice for this guy to spend time with his beauty in the Northeast? Why do you have to run back? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself? Now, I can send him away once and for all.

After thinking of this, Jia Rui looked appreciatively at Wang Xifeng, who was standing by and crying.

You look so good, you can even participate in the Oscars.
