Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 17 Red Mansion 15
Liu Heng left his fat son in the care of Liu's mother and took Jia Yuanchun to Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Yuanchun's eyes were as red and swollen as apricot kernels, and he never stopped crying after receiving the news.

Jia Daishan is very kind to his grandchildren, and Jia Yuanchun has deep feelings for Jia Daishan.

Deeper feelings than for Jia Zheng.

The other third generations of Rongguo Mansion were also very sad, but the younger ones were not as deeply in love with Jia Daishan as the older ones, and were even more sad.

Liu Ting helped Jia Hu handle Jia Daishan's funeral affairs and helped him greet guests.

The emperor asked the prince to come to pay homage on his behalf, and awarded Jia Daishan a posthumous title.

The Supreme Emperor in the palace fainted after learning the news of Jia Daishan's death. His health deteriorated and he could not get up.

As a filial son, the emperor went to the palace of the Supreme Emperor every day to attend to the Emperor's illness.

No one knows what he is thinking in his heart.

Jia Daishan's death was a big blow to the Supreme Emperor. In addition, his original health was not very good. This time he fell and never got up again.

Three months later, the Supreme Emperor passed away.

Liu Piao had to enter the palace every day to keep vigil for the Supreme Emperor, but the Jia family escaped this torture because they escorted Jia Daishan's coffin back to his hometown in Jinling.

Fortunately, he has a low official position and is nestled among a group of small officials, so no one will notice him even if he makes small moves.

Liu Heng hid some pastries in his left sleeve. They were small pieces. When he was hungry, he took out a piece and quickly stuffed it into his mouth to fill his stomach.

In the right sleeve is a veil soaked in ginger water.

His preparation was not outstanding at all, everyone else was prepared in this way.

To be honest, how many people in the court can truly shed tears over the death of the Supreme Emperor?

Not even a slap in the face, right?

The officials in the court had been tortured for more than a month and were finally able to go home and have a good rest.

Many people's eyes were red and swollen due to the spicy ginger water, so they asked doctors to help them prescribe medicine to take care of their eyes.

Another month passed before the court returned to normal.

One year has passed, and Liu Hao left the Hanlin Academy and entered the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Looking through the account books piled on his desk, Liu Hao felt a headache and eyesore.

I really admire the ancient accountants for being able to understand these messy accounts.

No wonder there were so many false accounts in ancient times!
Liu Heng sighed and asked an errand boy from the Ministry of Finance to find him a wooden ruler, and then he drew a form on the white paper...

Back at Liu's house, Jia Yuanchun was teasing his fat son while listening to Ji Qiu's gossip.

When he first married into the Liu family, Jia Yuanchun was quite wary of Ji Qiu. After all, the most powerful person around Liu Heng was only a big girl like Ji Qiu.

Later, when Liu Heng said that he would not marry his aunt, Jia Yuanchun asked about Ji Qiu.

Liu Heng smiled and said, "Ji Qiu is a capable person and can be of great use."

Jia Yuanchun: "???"

Later, Jia Yuanchun learned about the great use of sending autumn, it was so delicious!
Every day she would come to Ji Qiu and listen to her talk about the latest news in the capital that day.

When Liu Heng came in, Ji Qiu was talking about the gossip he heard from the servants of Duke Tuiguo.

The legitimate son of the eldest son of Duke Tui was possessed by an evil spirit. He picked up a knife and hacked at everyone, shouting and killing everyone. He looked like a madman and could not even recognize his biological parents.

Master Shi promised a large reward, and a servant stepped forward to control the legitimate son despite being injured, and tied him up.

The legitimate son fell into a coma after crying for a day. No matter how much he was asked to move, he would not wake up. Now he has been in a coma for three days and three nights.The imperial doctor diagnosed and treated the legitimate son and found no disease or poisoning in the legitimate son, but could not find the cause of his coma.

The legitimate son now relies on ginseng soup to survive.

Ji Qiu lowered his voice and made a mysterious expression: "I suspect that the second master of the Shi family is possessed by evil spirits."

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Why does this plot sound so familiar?
Why does the Shi family son's movement sound so similar to Wang Xifeng's reaction when he was framed by Ma Daopo in the original Red Mansions novel?

Could it be that Mr. Shi was cursed by Ma Dao Po?

The women in the room all stood up when they saw Liu Heng entering the room.

Jia Yuanchun handed his son to his nanny, and personally served Liu Heng to change clothes.

Baoqin came over with water and towels for Liu Heng to wash up.

Ji Qiu served hot tea to Liu Heng.

Liu Hao changed his clothes, sat down next to Jia Yuanchun, took his fat son, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Ji Qiu told the story of the Shi family again.

Liu Heng recalled the description of Ma Daopo in the original text of Red Mansion: This person is neither a monk nor a Taoist, and he knows evil magic.A scoundrel had a dispute with a pawnshop over the sale of a house.Ma Daopo took the money from the scoundrel, and the family members of the pawnshop used magic to make people sick, making their homes restless.Then, she told the pawnshop man that she could cure her wife, and asked the pawnshop man for more than ten taels of silver.

This person is greedy for money and cruel in both ways. He is not a good thing.

No wonder even Mrs. Wang called her a "bastard, a devil and a heretic."

Liu Heng asked Ji Qiu: "Do you know Ma Daopo?"

Ji Qiu nodded: "I know, she is a capable person. She often goes in and out of the nobles' backyards, and is highly valued by the noble ladies."

Suddenly, Ji Qiu remembered his previous guess and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "No way?"

Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin were surprised and didn't understand what Ji Qiu meant.

Ji Qiu's eyes widened even more: "What do you mean, sir, is it Ma Daopo's fault that the second master of the Shi family is possessed by evil spirits?"

Liu Heng: "I'm just guessing."

Ji Qiu clapped his hands: "It's very possible!"

Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin now understood what they meant.

Jia Yuanchun said in disbelief: "Isn't it really the art of witchcraft? The Shi family wouldn't be so bold, would they?"

Liu Ting: "The woman in the back house doesn't know the royal family's fear of witchcraft. If she is instigated by someone, she might do such a thing for the sake of the title of the Duke's palace."

Jia Yuanchun still couldn't believe it: "But, but..."

Liu Ting said: "Someone said a very correct saying: For 100% benefit, some people dare to trample all human laws; for [-]% benefit, some people dare to commit any crime. For some people, the title of knighthood, That’s not just a [-]% profit, but something they consider most precious and must obtain.”

Jia Yuanchun sighed and accepted Liu Heng's statement.

She hesitated and asked, "Let's just make our own guesses about this matter. Don't tell anyone."

She waited for Ji Qiu and said, "Especially for you, you can't reveal a single word of today's speculation."

Liu Heng knew Jia Yuanchun's concerns. She didn't want to cause trouble to the Liu family.

This matter is obviously an internal fight in the Guoguo Palace. If you get involved and say that you have to get the gratitude of the head of the Guoguo Palace, it will cause you to be smelly.

Who knows whether the head of the Duke's Mansion prefers his legitimate son and his wife or his beloved concubine and concubine? !
