The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 237 Jia Enhou is on his way, Zhongshan Wolf sees him off
Wu Xindeng was so frightened that he stood in the corner like a quail. Instead, Jia Ping stood up and said to Jia Zheng, "Master, I should stop the imperial doctor now and go get a safe pulse for the old lady."

This means that like a master, like a servant!
Jia Ping has been with Jia Cong for a long time. Whether it is looking at people or dealing with things, the pattern is completely different from before.

If Mrs. Wang is really allowed to take the old lady's post and invite the imperial doctor to treat Xue Pan with such a disease, the face of the Rongguo Duke's house will be completely humiliated. The Xue family can be shameless, but the Rongguo Duke's house cannot do without it. .

When Jia Zheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Quick, hurry up!"

Wu Xindeng quickly went out, intercepted the imperial doctor, and took him to Rongqing Hall. Jia Zheng also followed hurriedly, holding the hem of his robe.

It was Imperial Physician Bao who came here. He usually visited the Rongguo Duke's Mansion several times. He was not surprised at all when he was invited this time. After all, something happened to Jia Shecai and he was about to be exiled. How could Jia Mu be cured? That's not normal.

"This way, this way, oh, don't go wrong!" Wu Xindeng scolded the boy who was leading the way, and hurriedly invited Dr. Bao to Rongqing Hall with a diligent look. The boy was completely confused.

Jia's mother has indeed been fried these days, but she has always taken good care of herself and is a kind-hearted person. There is nothing wrong with her body. I heard that Jia Zheng hired an imperial doctor to check Ping An's pulse for her, and I was still a little confused.

After Dr. Bao checked her pulse and prescribed two doses of soothing prescriptions, Jia Zheng sent the doctor away. She ordered Yuanyang to find out what was going on.

Jia Zheng is a filial son. His mother-in-law did such a thing. An upright person like Jia Zheng didn't know how to act tactfully. When he stepped out, Jia Zheng came in behind and told all about Mrs. Wang's mischief. He said that he just concealed Xue Pan's injury. After all, he felt like his ears were dirty when he heard such ugly words. How could he say it from his mouth?

Jia Mu was an old woman. After hearing this, she also knew that Xue Pan's injury was probably related to scandal. She puffed her lips and said displeasedly, "Baoyu's mother was not such a ridiculous person in the past. Now that the child has suffered It's injured, you might as well help find some doctors to take a look, there are several doctors in this sacred city who also have good pulse."

"Yes!"

After receiving Jia Mu's advice and being in the presence of relatives, Jia Zheng returned to his study and ordered the four doctors who had examined Xue Pan's pulse to be summoned. He endured his nausea and asked them one by one, and then ordered them to discuss the matter. He came out with a recipe and left some ointment, so he sent the person away with a lot of money.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue waited impatiently for the imperial doctor to come. Unexpectedly, they heard that Jia Zheng had intercepted her on the way and asked them to go get a safe pulse for the old lady. This was a huge blow to the two sisters.

Here I am waiting for help, but over there I am asking for Ping'an Pulse. Ping'an Ping's Pulse means that the old lady's health is still good, and she asks the doctor to treat the disease when she is not sick. Is this comparable?

Aunt Xue couldn't say anything in front of Mrs. Wang, so she cried with grievance and said to Mrs. Wang, "I have caused so much trouble to my sister by living here. If my sister makes the old lady unhappy, it will be mine." It’s a sin.”

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't speak. She comforted Aunt Xue and said, "Maybe there is something wrong with the old lady that we don't know about. Sister, don't take it to heart. Right now, I just hope that Pan'er will get better. And Baoyu.”

Aunt Xue became more and more determined to betroth Baochai to Baoyu. If her family wanted to rely on the Duke of Rongguo to live their lives, only in this way could they get rid of the embarrassment of being dependent on someone else.

After what happened, Mrs. Wang really couldn't sit still much, but without a doctor, Xue Pan's illness could not be diagnosed and treated, and it was difficult for her to leave.

Fortunately, at this time, Jia Zheng sent Wu Xindeng, who gave Aunt Xue the medicine and the ointment prescribed by the doctor, and said, "The doctor said, I just lost strength, it's not a serious illness. It’s just that he suffered some external injuries, as long as he stays at home and recovers for a while, he will be fine.”

Aunt Xue was confused when she heard this, and Mrs. Wang gained some dignity and said happily, "Since the master said so, just listen to the master!"

When Zhang Dehui personally went to grab medicine for Xue Pan and ordered Xue Pan's personal servant to apply the medicine for Xue Pan's wounds, Mrs. Wang still didn't leave and sat in the room talking to Aunt Xue.

Both of them were doing it for their own children, but they had different thoughts. Aunt Xue thought that Baoyu would do such a scandal, so she wanted Mrs. Wang to speak first. She could gain some benefits and status for her daughter, while Mrs. Wang thought, Xue Pan also has a lot of responsibility for the reason why Baoyu is like this. It was Xue Pan who bought the small courtyard.

But Aunt Xue was thinking that her son was also doing good things with Marquis Ning Guo. The card was so good, but she didn't see her son doing anything with Marquis Ning Guo, but Baoyu, why did he come forward to provoke him?

They say bitches are heartless. People like Aunt Xue have never heard about true love in their lives, so they cannot understand the true love that may exist between Baoyu and Xiao Junzi.

"Pan'er, this kid, is too noisy. I also heard that he built a small courtyard in Xiaohuazhi Lane and allowed that unscrupulous woman to live in it." Mrs. Wang said, "He is also [-] years old now." You’re not young anymore, you can’t be like this anymore.”

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I heard that the woman was redeemed by Brother Dongfu Cong. He also has a family. How can he still have trouble with an unscrupulous woman? It turns out that Pan'er is with Brother Cong is a little over the moon, and after coming to Shenjing, we saw that he is not someone we can afford to offend, so Pan'er may be a little flattering."

The two sisters went back and forth and talked for about half an hour. They heard that Xue Pan fell into a deep sleep after taking the medicine. Mrs. Wang stood up and left, "I still need to ask a doctor to come and take a look in two days." "

Aunt Xue sent her out. When she arrived at the door leading to Mrs. Wang's yard, Mrs. Wang asked Aunt Xue to stay. Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister, haven't you thought about that yet? "

"Didn't my sister say before that we should spread the word about a good match first and see how the old lady reacts?"

If this is the case, it is obviously not good for Baochai. He is somewhat rushing to let the Xue family marry the Jia family. Previously, it was a last resort when the Xue family declined, but now that Baoyu has raised an outside wife, Aunt Xue Naturally, you have to weigh it up.

We can't let go of this marriage in the Jia family, but we can't agree to it easily. It's best to let the old lady speak in person. Only in this way can Baochai get a firm foothold in the Jia family in the future.

Mrs. Wang said, "If my sister doesn't have any objections, the old lady has been living with me for a long time, so I don't have to worry about it. My sister is worried about it. Bao Yatou is not someone else. Isn't my sister afraid that I will treat her slowly?"

"I'm not afraid. It's hard to explain to the old lady. Every girl like Bao Yatou will be looked down upon by the old lady in the future. I don't expect her to be like Feng Yatou, and I can't let her suffer too much."

"Sister, what you said makes sense!" At this point, Mrs. Wang couldn't continue, so she said goodbye and left.

Because the old lady just asked for Ping'an Mai, Mrs. Wang had to go to Rongqing Hall. Unexpectedly, when she got to the door, the maid holding the curtain said, "The old lady just fell asleep. She said that the lady is here. Please go back first." , stay up later, madam, come back!"

If Mrs. Wang listened to these words and went back, that would be bad. She smiled awkwardly and said, "In that case, I will just wait here. I think the old lady should get up at this time. "

In the room, Mother Jia was leaning in the suite, listening to Yuanyang talk about what she had learned. Then she realized that Baoyu had been beaten like this. She couldn't help but said angrily, "That brother of the Xue family has never been a peaceful person. Listen to me." He said that when he was in Jinling, he almost beat someone to death in a fight to buy a maid, and for some unknown reason, he was hung from a tower by Cong'er, which shows that he was not a good person."

Yuanyang said, "This time I heard that Mr. Xiao was a loyal and good man. When the third master found out, he said he would do something good and redeem the man. Who knows what the Xue family's uncle had in mind, and he actually bought a courtyard? Place people in a safe place, but if something like this happens now, it will become the second master’s fault."

Jia Mu sneered, "I roughly know what's going on, but you just want to ask me to bow down, which is absolutely impossible. I know that this mother and daughter have many calculations in their hearts. They are indeed a small business family, but they are... He has such vicious thoughts and almost missed my precious jade."

Yuanyang couldn't bear to answer these words. She served the old lady and went out. She was surprised when she heard that Mrs. Wang was setting the rules outside, but she also knew that Mrs. Wang could do this with her shrewdness. He hurriedly turned back and said to the old lady, "My lady is here, stand outside." "Ask her to come in!"

We have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, and with the current situation at home, we don’t deserve to be laughed at. This way, the face will be enough for Mrs. Wang to feel better next time.

Jia Mu had rested herself. When she came out, Mrs. Wang did not dare to sit down. She hurriedly came forward to help her. Jia Mu asked, "How is Brother Xue? I heard that four doctors were invited and they didn't dare to see him. He had to do it as a last resort." Going to ask the imperial doctor?"

Mrs. Wang said, "It was thanks to the master's ability that the four doctors worked together to prescribe the medicine. Pan'er took it and now sleeps peacefully. I heard that the old lady asked for Ping'an Pulse and my wife was not here. It was really a sin. "

"It's not a big deal that Zhu'er's wife and Lian'er's wife are here. Although I'm still alive and can still hire an imperial doctor, what's the situation of our family? If something happens, we won't let those in the court know. The discussion is not good for your official reputation.

Today, fortunately, Cong'er was vigilant and said that the Xue family brother's illness was something that could not be publicized. It was too late for ordinary people to cover it up, so it happened to be in front of the imperial doctor. Mr. You stopped the imperial doctor halfway to check my pulse. I also survived for a long time. Even if you are old enough to die, you are not afraid of this taboo. "

When Mrs. Wang heard these beatings, her face turned blue and white. After a long while, she finally said quietly, "Yes, my wife lost her calculations and almost did something wrong."

Unexpectedly, it was Jia Cong who caused trouble again.

At this time, Mrs. Wang truly believed that Jia Cong was probably already thinking about her. Could he still imagine harming her and Baoyu from the head of the house?

Although Mrs. Wang was a little frightened, she quickly calmed down. She had nothing for Jia Cong to use as an excuse. Moreover, Jia Cong could only deal with her through the old lady and the master. What did she have to fear?
Seeing that although he admitted his mistake, Jia Mu did not say much. She said, "You just went to Lixiangyuan. You must be tired, and you don't need to wait in front of me anymore. Go ahead!"

Jia Mu then slowly resigned. After she left, the Rongqing Hall was quiet and gloomy. Jia Mu ordered someone to call Jia Lian over and ordered Jia Amnesty to be exiled the next day.

"Have everything been sorted out?" Jia Mu asked.

Jia Lian said, "Everything has been taken care of. Our people have placed about ten people. Fortunately, we went to the north this time. We spoke well to the people from the Ministry of Punishment and placed the master nearby in Heishan Village. There are also Wu Jinxiao and Wu Jinzhong and the others, I heard from Cong'er that he will also send someone to Heishan Village to check the accounts. If he happens to be traveling with the master, he will also take care of them."

Hearing this, Jia Mu asked, "Check the accounts, what accounts are you checking?"

Jia Lian said, "I heard that around the time before last year, Wu Jinxiao sent Xiaojing again. There were only eight or nine Zhuangzi left in Dongfu, and drought and floods were reported in two places. Because Cong'er was not here before, this time What happened is over, now he is back, he just wants to get to the bottom of it.

Also, there were twenty or thirty Zhuangzi left by our ancestors. When Brother Zhen had it, these were the only ones left. In recent years, the harvest has been decreasing year by year. In the past, Brother Zhen was quite considerate. When it came to his hands, who would he give it to? fool? "

Jia Mu was thoughtful, Jia Lian glanced at the old grandmother, and regretted saying what he just said. Not all people in Xifu have the same disease. As long as they, the masters, get a point, half of it will be given to the people below. He took it away. If the old lady asked him to check the accounts, wouldn't he have to accompany the elder for a while? Wouldn't this cost his life?
Just when he was thinking about how to get out of this job, Jia Mu said, "After he has found out the account, we can ask Wu Jinzhong the same thing. We ransacked the house before, but luckily the eldest man's clothes, shoes and socks were not confiscated." Let’s go and have everything tidied up, let the master take it with him, and everything must be sorted out properly.”

These were originally regarded as Mrs. Xing's responsibilities, but now that Mrs. Xing is completely dead, it is inevitable that the old lady is still worried about this at a very old age.

Jia Lian responded repeatedly, and then asked, "How will the eldest wife be accommodated? And the people over there have been trapped in a room for a day or two. Just now, people from Jinyi Mansion came to ask questions , saying that if there is no explanation, they will be sold."

Jia Lian intends to keep a few Yan Hong and others with whom he is in love, but where can he do it?There are eyes everywhere, and he didn't buy any real estate beforehand. If he had known it, he would have bought a yard in Xiaohuazhi Lane like Xue Pan.

Originally, what Jia Cong said was to ask the aunts and sisters to follow the eldest man to the north. If so, it would be a crime!
If it were to be sold, Jia Lian could do some tricks and retain three or two of them. One of them, Qiutong, was very suitable to him and he had been coveting it for a long time.

The old lady closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Let those sluts follow your master. The family is not short of these three taels of silver. We have always only bought people, how can we sell them?"

What Jia Mu meant was that if Jia She wasn't trying to earn money to support these sluts, how could he accidentally do such a wrong thing and lose his family's title?
Jia Lian reluctantly said "yes". Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian with a pair of old and refined eyes, and her voice unconsciously took on a bit of dignity as she said, "Right now, how many titles are there in the family?" The hope of dividing and restoring the title lies in Cong'er.

You and he are brothers. There is no reason for him not to help you. It depends on whether you go there diligently or not? "

Jia Lian really didn't want to humble himself and ask for help, let alone Jia Cong. Besides, he also knew in his heart that even if he got the title, he would still have to argue about the mansion and property. What on earth was he doing? For whom do you do good deeds?
But in front of the old lady, Jia Lian couldn't say no and said, "I understand. Once the eldest master's affairs are settled, I will urge Cong'er and ask him to think of a solution."

"That's the case. I will also tell your master that my ancestor's title has been lost. If I die and I can't see the Duke in the future, what shame will you have?"

"Yes!" At this moment, Jia Lian was solemn.

Early the next morning, when Jia Cong was still in court, Jia She was taken out of Jinyi Mansion by the officers of the Ministry of Punishment. After being put in the shackles, he was driven on the road. After all, the officers were quite kind to Jia She. They agreed to help him take away the shackles when they left the city.

Even though it was the lightest yoke, it was enough for Jia She to feel comfortable. Fortunately, the Rongguo Mansion sent about ten people to go with Jia She to support him along the way.

After leaving the city gate, a man rushed over on horseback. When he arrived, the man turned over and fell off his horse. He moved skillfully. Seeing that he was tall and strong, Jia She squinted his old eyes for a while and then his heart skipped a beat. There was another one. The debt collector has arrived.

I saw this man taking out a few taels of silver to pay for the servants, saying that he had a few words to say to Jia She, and calling him Shibo. The etiquette was quite good, but his eyes, which were more white and less black, looked sinister and terrifying. .

This person's name is Sun Shaozu, and the Sun family is from Datong Prefecture. His ancestors were military officers and were disciples of Ningrong Prefecture at that time. After all, they are family friends.Now only one person from the Sun family is in Beijing, and he is assuming the command position.

He is under thirty years old, and his family is rich. Previously, Jia She received a lot of money from him for helping to manage the vacancies in the military department. However, the money has not been spent, but now, no matter how much money he has, it is not his anymore. .

Who would have thought that he would end up in this situation?

He was going to the Northland, and the mountains and rivers were high along the way. A little carelessness would kill him. Jia She was really afraid that Sun Shaozu would kill him in a rage, so he couldn't help but said with a shy face, " My nephew, you see, I am also of this virtuous nature now, and even if I have the intention to do the things you entrusted me with before, I am powerless."

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozu was not angry. Instead, he held Jia She's arm and walked forward, "Shibo, who could have predicted such misfortunes and blessings for people? After Shibo's death, it is impossible to say that the emperor will grant amnesty to the world in three or two years." Now that I'm back, if Brother Shi makes great contributions again, Uncle Shi will be able to regain his freedom one day."

These words made Jia She's eyes light up. He immediately saw hope and felt that what he said was reasonable. It also made Jia She understand that Sun Shaozu did not intend to care about the money, but he must be able to fulfill his trust. He said, "I won't say these words anymore. I have failed my nephew after all. While I still have a life left at the moment, if my nephew has anything to say, just say it!"
