The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 234 Jia Cong: Sir, go on your way with peace of mind! (overhaul)

When Xifeng heard this voice, she ignored Baochai and went to Rongqing Hall on her own.

Baochai thought for a moment and did not return to Lixiangyuan. Instead, he followed Xifeng to Rongqing Hall.

When Xifeng heard the movement, she paused slightly, glanced back at Baochai, snorted lightly, and still ignored it.

When they arrived at Rongqing Hall, Baochai saw that Mrs. Wang had also arrived, so she hurriedly stepped forward and called out, "Auntie!"

Mrs. Wang nodded towards her, looking a little nervous, twisting the handkerchief in her hands vigorously. Xifeng followed her gaze and looked in the direction of the old lady's apartment. Sure enough, within a short time, the eldest lady's hoarse voice came from inside. The shouting was obviously still about the exile.

I heard the old lady's faint voice, "How can I not abandon you? Even though the eldest master is not here, there are still so many people in the clan, how can I not abandon you?"

"If Duke Rongguo doesn't feel embarrassed and insists on doing such bad things, I won't be afraid!"

The old lady said angrily, "I'm old. I don't care about this matter. I'll leave you to the clan and let the clan take care of it!"

After saying that, the old lady called Yuanyang, "Send the eldest lady to the ancestral hall and ask the clan leader and elders to come and comment on what to do."

It seems that the old lady is determined to send the eldest lady away. It seems that there is really no room for the eldest lady. And handing the eldest lady over to the clan is also to deal with the eldest lady in the hands of Jia Cong and drive her away. Walk.

She is not the original wife, has no heirs, and does not do any good deeds on weekdays. She only relies on the eldest master and will offend people to death. Once the eldest master passes away, the eldest wife's position in the Rongguo Duke's palace will indeed be very embarrassing.

Yuanyang came over, stood beside the eldest lady, and said expressionlessly, "Madam, please!"

The eldest lady had never been so angry before. She didn't know what she thought of, she stood up, spat hard at the old lady, turned around and walked outside.

Outside, Mrs. Wang and others had already avoided it in time, in order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting each other. Although the eldest lady no longer cares about this, Mrs. Wang and others still can't lose face, and they still try hard to be decent people. .

After the eldest lady left, Mrs. Wang and Xifeng asked the old lady how she was. When they heard that she was in good health, they left one after another. Baochai also followed Mrs. Wang, sent her to her room, and returned to Lixiangyuan.

In Lixiang Courtyard, Aunt Xue was sitting on the kang and crying. Baochai walked over and sat down with her mother. Without asking, she knew that her brother's whereabouts had not been found.

Thinking of this, Baochai couldn't help but feel anxious.

"I had hoped that by coming to Shenjing to join Aunt Qi, my family's livelihood would be easier. Who would have thought that we would not be able to live in peace here, and we don't know where your brother has gone, whether he is dead or alive?" When Aunt Xue mentioned Xue Pandu, It's tears.

Baochai hurriedly advised, "Mom, don't be so anxious. Although there is no news about my brother now, it may not be bad news. Anyway, I know who he went with, and he is a famous person. Wait for me at my aunt's house. It's better here, let's hire someone to help find it."

"This Marquis Ning Guo is such a boring person. He refuses to help even if there is no big problem!" Aunt Xue sighed, and then thought in her mind that it was all because her family had nothing to do with Jia Cong. , if he could be related, with his current power, who would dare to provoke his own son?

Not to mention Liu Xianglian, even in front of the princes, she was able to speak even though she had no words.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but look at her daughter. She saw that her daughter was beautiful and behaved dignifiedly. She was no better than Miss Lin in any way. How could such a good son be taken advantage of by the sick and weak Miss Lin?

"Qian'er's mother told you that this golden lock was given by a monk, and she only said that she had to pick one with jade to match it. What do you think?" Aunt Xue kicked everyone out of the room. After going out, only the mother and daughter were left talking.

Baochai is already past the age of having haircuts. She is not young yet, but her marriage has not been settled yet, and she cannot wait like this forever.

Kuang Xue's family lives in Jia's family, and everything depends on the face of others. As the saying goes, it is better to have parents than to have oneself. What's more, the Rongguo Mansion is gone now. If they can't embrace a thick thigh early, what will happen in the future?
Just like in front of me, Xue Pan is missing, and he relies on the help of Rongguo Mansion to find him. However, Rongguo Mansion also has a lot of bad things going on, and his title is gone. It would be great if he can invite Ningguo Mansion, but Jia Cong of Ningguo Mansion Another person who can't get enough of oil and salt.

This made the mother and daughter of the Xue family deeply uneasy. Aunt Xue also had to worry about her daughter's marriage. Among the two Ningrong houses, only Baoyu was a good match. In any case, the old lady could not ignore Baoyu and donate to Baoyu in the future. It is also a hope that an official, or Baoyu, can strive for the first place in the exam, and be granted a wife and a son.

Therefore, Aunt Xue came up with the idea of ​​​​taking Baoyu, and she also communicated with Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was a little unwilling at first, but later she saw that he was not like him outside, and she was afraid of causing big trouble. Then he nodded.

But Baoyu’s marriage was not something that Mrs. Wang could decide on her own. Aunt Xue was from a merchant family and had a quick mind. Thinking that Baoyu’s jade was born with her, she gave Baochai a monk’s excuse for the gold lock she had worn since she was a child. A few auspicious words were temporarily chiselled on it, and they were matched by Yu's talent.

This is also a good word for a good relationship.

Aunt Xue told Baochai about this early in the morning. At this time, Baochai couldn't help but lowered his head when he heard this and said, "Mom, I heard that Brother Bao was beaten outside... Outer room."

Aunt Xue thought it was something big and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "My son, is this something worth mentioning? He is a fairy-like person. With your aunt here, he can be taken into the room. Come?"

Aunt Xue held her daughter's hand and said, "When this happened, it was considered a good thing. I was originally worried that the old lady would not agree. Now, if it happens, the old lady will not be able to cover it up. If it spreads, , Baoyu’s face is not good-looking, maybe the old lady should have agreed to this early, so as to save me and your aunt the trouble."

Baochai pursed her lips. She also knew the difficulties at home, but she still couldn't get rid of that person in her mind. Without that person, she would have listened to her mother's words. However, in comparison with the two, Baoyu was really unbearable. Extremely.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Aunt Xue sighed, "Baoyu is still young. In the future, if you can supervise him to study, you won't be afraid that he will have no future. At the moment, he is incomparable with Ning Guohou. Although he is a good man, it is a pity that he will not be able to do anything well." There is a wife and a wife.”

Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh, how wonderful it would be if Jia Cong didn't get married, and her daughter was just matched with such a golden husband.

"Mom, where did you go?" Baochai really didn't want to face such a cruel reality, so she asked her mother to say a few words, resigned, and returned to her boudoir.

Baochai couldn't help but sit at the table, tears rolling in her eyes, but she just couldn't hold back from falling.

Ying'er secretly glanced at the girl, went to bring a cup of tea, put it in the girl's hand, and advised, "Girl, have some tea!"

Baochai shook his head gently, pushed the tea bowl further away, and his fingertips shrank from being burned by the wall of the bowl.

Ying'er knew what her girl was thinking, and stood beside her holding a handkerchief to persuade her, "Girl, you don't necessarily want to be a concubine. I heard that some wealthy families have equal wives. Besides, where is the house in that house?" Not better than here?
There is no title here now.If the girl follows the Marquis, is it not better for the Marquis to earn a job for the girl than to follow someone who has no fame? "

Baochai couldn't help but think of Daiyu's wealth when she was young and went to the palace on a few important days every year to get makeup and make-up. She also occasionally heard that because of the Marquis, the palace also valued Daiyu very much. She is also extremely dignified in front of the concubines.

This is the honor of a wife following her husband!
Although Yinger's words caught Baochai's mind, Baochai couldn't pretend to listen, and couldn't help but scolded, "Can you say this nonsense?"

Ying'er knew that she had made a great contribution and felt confident, "The wife over there is not yet able to consummate the marriage with the Marquis because of her young age, but the girl's age is just right. If she gets married now, she will have a son and a half daughter early. I'm still worried that the Marquis won't look at the girl with admiration..."

"You're going to die. If you keep talking, I won't be able to keep you here!" Baochai felt that her face was so red that she could boil an egg.

Ying'er was just right, knowing that the girl actually listened, so she said no more and left the room.

Baochai was alone in the room and had enough space to think about this matter. She couldn't help but think of the first time she met Jia Cong in Jinling. At that time, Jia Cong was wearing a unicorn robe and a beam crown. , with a majestic aura, which makes people look calm and calm, but also seems a bit ruthless.

I'm afraid he only seems to be close to people around him. Baochai thought of the Sanchun he saw today. Compared with before, Sanchun's character was more lively. Even Yingchun had some vitality, and Xichun was no longer as good as before. In general, he refuses to stay thousands of miles away from others, and always likes to hide his thoughts quietly.

"Although he is not hypocritical to me, what if I really become his pillow?" Thinking of this, Baochai's cheeks became hot with embarrassment, her hands were greasy and she couldn't help covering her face, and stared blankly. Looking in the mirror, the man's eyes are full of autumn water, and his face is covered with red clouds.But thinking of her mother's decision, Baochai sighed again. Although Baoyu was also a good person, compared to Jia Cong, they were separated by clouds and mud. She always had ambitions, so how could she live a mediocre life?
The next day, the trial of the three divisions was officially concluded. Jia She would stay in the imperial prison for another day. After the third day, the Ministry of Punishment would send officers to escort Jia She to the place of exile.

After the morning court, Jia Cong went out. Now he had no one he liked in the court. Although he and Zhang Qilin came from the same family, if they were a literary and a martial artist, if they got close, Emperor Tai Qi would definitely get angry. Suspicious, thinking that they wanted cultural relics to collude and conspire together.

At this time, Yan Min came over, walked two steps side by side with him, and asked, "Master Hou, Jia She's case has been sentenced, and his exile for three thousand miles has been decided. As for where he will be exiled?" I don’t know how to decide whether the place is east or south, west or north?”

This was Yan Min trying to make a good deal for Jia Cong, but it wasn't a big deal. Since he was an official in the same dynasty, he had no grudges, so he tried his best to make a good relationship. Maybe he would find the other person at some point.

Jia Cong hurriedly thanked him, "I really can't make up my mind. Why don't you wait for me for a while, and then I can answer my question after I ask you clearly?"

"It doesn't matter, I only need to put one stroke on the sign, so don't panic for a while."

The eldest wife was still locked up in the ancestral hall. Jia Cong wanted to ask Jia She for his opinion. When he arrived at Jinyi Mansion, Jia Cong was reluctant to go to the dungeon, so he had someone vacate a room and take Jia She away. Come up.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Jia She seemed to have gained some weight.

The father and son looked at each other like enemies. After a long time, Jia Cong said, "Exiled for three thousand miles is a golden saying. However, you can still choose between east, west, south and north. Which way do you want to go?"

"Your mother's spirit in heaven must be proud of you!" Jia She said.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's a pity that you missed such an opportunity!"

Jia She had no such regret and said, "I would like to see where you are going to send me after I raised a good son like you."

"It's not that I want to give you a ride. If you don't want to go, no one can force you! It's a pity that you have to go yourself. As a son, I have fulfilled my filial duty by being able to give you a ride! As for my mother, The spirit in heaven will definitely keep you safe and sound along the way!"

Jia She was so angry that he was trembling. He didn't expect that Jia Cong would not even act in the most basic role. Panic surged into his heart and he asked, "What are you going to do to me on the road?"

Jia Cong shook his head, "My mother had already avenged herself before she died. No matter what, you are my biological father. How could I do such a thing as patricide? How would my mother be heartbroken if she knew about it?"

Besides, no matter which direction you go, your current body may not be able to support you. The miasma is heavy in the south, the altitude is high in the west, and it is freezing cold in the north. You have injured half of the top of your lungs. You really need to think about it carefully. "

Jia She understood this meaning. As long as he left Shenjing City, he was on the road to death. At this moment, he became truly frightened and stammered, "You must have a way to save my life." Right? You just said, I am your father."

Jia Cong said, "The law of the country is greater than the sky. Sir, please go on your way with peace of mind. Those aunts in the north courtyard, I will also ask them to follow you with the eldest lady! Anyway, I will not treat you badly!"

After saying that, Jia Cong turned around and walked out, but Jia She refused to let him leave like this. He knelt on the ground with a thud and was about to hug Jia Cong's legs. Kong An stepped in and lifted Jia She up with a quick lift. "Sir, are you okay?"

It's hard to tell that it's Jia She, the father, who is kneeling down for his son.

Jia Cong turned his head and took a look at Jia She's ugly appearance. He said in his heart, "Mom, I have finally avenged this revenge for you. I hope you can be safe and happy in the next life!"

The first half of Zhong's life should be considered pretty good. She was reincarnated into a big family like the Zhong family, and her father was Jieyuan, so she had a bright future. As long as she waited for her father to be admitted to high school, she would also have a bright future. It's a pity that I met such a scumbag as Jia She.

"Jia Cong, you are an unfilial son. You only care about your mother. Have you ever thought that I am your father?"

Jia Cong's footsteps paused, "I'm so happy to serve you so well. I'll serve you well tomorrow morning!"

For a while, no one in Jinyi Mansion knew whether this "hit" was the other's "hit"!

Jia She looked at Jia Cong's retreating back and let out a shrill wail. As the door was closed, the wail could not be heard clearly outside. The people guarding the door shook their heads speechlessly, thinking that sooner or later Knowing this, why bother in the first place?

After all, Jia She did not choose an exile direction for himself. Jia Cong went to the Ministry of Punishment. The court officials hurriedly led Jia Cong inside. Yan Min came out of the duty room and greeted him. He said, "Make a cup of good tea." !”

Jia Cong smiled slightly and followed Yan Min into the check-in room. The room was kept very neatly and spotlessly clean. There were a large pile of files on the table, which showed how dedicated the old man was.

Yan Min, courtesy name Nayan, was born in Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, South Zhili Province. He won the first place in both the joint examination and the palace examination in the fifth year of Wanqing. At that time, Yan Min was still in his prime.

"I have two sons, both of whom are much older than the Marquis, but their talents are far inferior to that of the Marquis. Nowadays, if there is a son in the capital like the Marquis of Ning Guo, I am convinced!"

Jia Cong smiled and cupped his hands towards Yan Min, "My husband is too praised!"

After saying that, a trace of sadness appeared on his face again, and he said, "In the past, I studied "Greater Learning" with my teacher. At that time, the teacher ordered me to study Qi Zhiping as my lifelong pursuit. Although I am not talented, I have tried my best to do it these years. But now, the old husband has also seen that when it comes to repairing Qi and making peace, I have never even been able to repair Qi, let alone Zhiping.

So, how come you get this praise? "

Yan Min seemed to recall things from his youth, his eyes seemed a little long, and he said, "In the early years, I also had a knowledge test with Duke Defu. I deeply respect him as a person! How profound is his skill in cultivating Qi Zhiping." , how many people can't even catch their tail in their lifetime. Now that Mr. Hou is young, he has such an ambition and has already left his peers behind.

In this world, one drink and one peck have their own destiny. There are many things that the Marquis can only do with his best. When it comes to elders, he can do his best. The Marquis must not use too much force.In his current status, Mr. Kuang should focus on revitalizing the Ningguo Mansion. He also assumes the responsibility of the head of the Jia family, and he must take into account the overall situation. "

Jia Cong hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I have learned a lesson!"

Yan Min hurriedly said, "Master Hou must have understood these truths a long time ago. I just saw that Master Hou was young, so I made the mistake of being a teacher again."

Jia Cong laughed it off and talked about the purpose of his visit this time, "I went to ask the elder. Maybe it was because at this juncture, the elder still found it difficult to accept and didn't give me an accurate word. I also read it on weekdays. Although some local chronicles are far away from east to west, north and south, I know a little bit about them, but they are not good places.

There is a miasma of insects and snakes in the south, which will kill you if you touch it, so you can never go away; there are many mountains in the west, and you have to go through the mountains and ridges, which is also a disaster at the old man's age; but in the north, even though it is a bitter cold place, there are no dangers in a year But there are still a few good months. If it does get too cold, you can still get by with a fire.

This is my humble opinion. I wonder if my old husband can teach me? "

Yan Min pinched his beard and said, "In that case, let the Ministry of Punishment make arrangements!"

This was to help Jia Cong. In fact, even if Jia She's body was injured at the tip of his lung, he would not be able to survive for a few days even if he went to the north. Once he really died there and someone made a fuss about it, Jia Cong would not be able to defend himself. .

Jia Cong had known that Yan Min wanted to use this matter to gain a favor for himself, and he also knew his purpose, which was just to cooperate, and said, "Well, thank you so much, my husband, I will keep this kindness in my heart!"

Although the two had disputes before, there are no eternal enemies in the court.

Nowadays, the cabinet is in turmoil, and Yan Min has not yet joined the cabinet.
