My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 205 Entrustment (continued)

When Jia Yu received the news that Jia Zhen had farted, it was already time for him to return home from the palace.

When Tang Jiayu returned to Uncle Dingyuan's Mansion under the moonlight, he heard the news from Yuan Chun.

Jia Yu was not surprised by this.

Cephalosporin is paired with wine and sent away immediately.

This sentence was not shouted in vain, and in order to make Jia Zhen go away completely, Jia Yu even increased the dosage of cephalosporin. It can be said that as long as Jia Zhen drinks, she will definitely die.

But on the surface he still pretended to be shocked.

"What's going on? Jia Zhen was quite energetic yesterday. Why did she leave so quickly?"

"I don't know much about this concubine. Maybe Brother Zhen has some hidden disease, and it suddenly broke out last night."

Yuanchun Liu frowned slightly. At this time, her belly had begun to bulge slightly, and her body had begun to look a little heavier. After saying a few words, she found a chair and sat down.

To be honest, she also felt that Jia Zhen's death was a bit sudden. She was fine yesterday, but she had a conflict with her husband after the banquet, so why did she die suddenly today?

Thinking of this, Yuanchun sighed slightly: "Husband, I know that you don't like Brother Zhen very much, and you even made a move with him yesterday.

But no matter what, he is also the patriarch of the Jia family. Now that he is no longer here, we still have to have the etiquette we should have. "

Jia Yu nodded: "I understand this. No matter what I do, I, Jia Yu, will never argue with a dead person."

"That's good if you think so."

Yuanchun thought for a while, "Brother Zhen's vulture is now placed in Ningguo Mansion. It stands to reason that we husband and wife should go there to see him off for the last time.

It's just that I'm pregnant with Liujia now, and Sister Tanchun has just passed away, so it's not convenient for me to go there, so you can only go there by yourself. "

"That's no problem. I'll go there in person tomorrow."

Seeing Jia Yu agreeing so happily, Yuan Chun, who was originally worried that her husband would become emotional, felt relieved.

She held Jia Yu's hand and said softly: "Husband... I know that you have paid a lot for Jia's family secretly.

And it has been misunderstood by some people, but I hope you can take the sake of my concubine and sister Tanchun and not argue with them. "

Jia Yu shrugged: "I would have done it even if you didn't tell me, because my two daughters-in-law are both from Rongguo Mansion.

If I really quarrel with you and you two get angry and all run back to your parents' house, then I will have to guard the empty room alone. "

"Pooh!"

Jia Yu's words made Yuan Chun and Tan Chun sigh in unison.

At this time, two sisters, Yuan Chun and Tan Chun, were in the room. They were sitting on either side of Jia Yu, one on the left and the other on the right.

Tan Chun blushed and said, "What did you say? Since I and my sister have married you, they will be yours for the rest of their lives. How can they be like that foolish country woman who often returns to her parents' home? If this spreads out, , are we still shameless?"

"I'm just making an analogy."

Jia Yu smiled and stretched out her arms to hug the two girls respectively.

Although the two girls were very embarrassed, seeing that there was no one else in the room, they could only give him a blank look and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yu then said: "After all, I will be leaving for Jiangnan in a few days, and you can't do it even if you don't stay alone in the empty room."

"What...husband (master) wants to go to Jiangnan?"

The two girls forgot about their shyness and looked at Jia Yu at the same time with their happy and angry faces.

"Yes."

Jia Yu pondered for a moment and then said: "Something happened over there in Yangzhou. The salt inspector was critically ill and unable to manage the affairs. Seeing that this year's salt tax could not be collected on time, I had no choice but to send a letter asking for help to His Majesty.

Your Majesty has thought over and over again and decided to ask me to go to Jiangnan to help Lin Ruhai in town. "

Although Jia Yu only said this in an understatement, Yuanchun and Tanchun, one of whom had been in the palace for ten years, and the other was known as the most astute and intelligent woman in Jia's family, were suddenly replaced by Jia Yu. I heard that this short sentence was full of conspiracy.

Yuanchun showed a worried look on his face: "The salt tax in Jiangnan is known as half of the country's tax revenue. Once something goes wrong, it will shake the country. Lin Ruhai has been working hard in Jiangnan for seven or eight years, and now it is rare to write to His Majesty. There is a message asking for help, which shows that the situation is very serious."

Although Tanchun is smart and shrewd, she has lived in the Jia family compound since childhood and has never been exposed to court affairs. Her sensitivity to political affairs is not as good as Yuanchun's.

Therefore, although she could tell that something was wrong, she could not tell what was wrong. After hearing this, she couldn't help but ask: "Sister, is the matter in Jiangnan serious?"

"Very serious."

Yuanchun said with a solemn expression: "The south of the Yangtze River is densely populated and the people live a prosperous life, which is the most important source of taxation in Daxia.

In particular, the salt tax is a top priority. If the salt tax does not rise, the court will be in big trouble. "

Only then did Tanchun realize that the matter had reached such a critical level. Only then did she realize that the emperor was going to risk thunder when he sent her husband to the south of the Yangtze River, and she couldn't help but become anxious.

"Sister... wouldn't it be dangerous for me to go to Yangzhou at this time?"

Yuanchun smiled bitterly, "My silly sister... you only know now.

It's just that our master has been deeply favored by the emperor and has been knighted by his majesty. Now it is the time for the imperial court to employ people.

Your Majesty asked your husband to go forward by name. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of you, you cannot retreat. "

Only then did Tanchun truly understand that there is no free lunch in the world. Since you have enjoyed the glory and wealth given to you by the court, when the court needs you, you have to work hard for others.

For a moment, Tanchun's eye circles turned red.

She had just consummated her marriage with Jia Yu yesterday. It was the wedding day, but her husband was preparing to go south for business. Naturally, she was extremely reluctant to leave her for a while.

Seeing Tan Chun's tearful eyes, Jia Yu lovingly lowered her head and kissed her gently on the forehead: "Why are you crying... Master, I just went to Yangzhou for business, not to Liaodong to fight with the Tatars. Do you have to worry so much?"

Tan Chun snuggled into Ai Lang's arms and said in a low voice: "It's weird if you don't worry. After Uncle Lin went to Yangzhou, first his aunt died, then his cousin also died, and now even my uncle is seriously ill. If no one is causing trouble, , even fools don’t believe it.

Husband, you are indeed brave and good at fighting, but that is only on the battlefield. Yangzhou is a vanity fair and a den of ecstasy where people kill without blood. Many officials from the imperial court have fallen into that place. Even top-ranked officials like my uncle were not spared. Why don't you let me, my humble concubine, worry? "

Jia Yu snorted softly: "Tan Chun... The reason why those high officials of the imperial court fell in Yangzhou one after another is because they couldn't escape the greed in their hearts.

The reason why my uncle couldn't do anything to those people was because he was bound by morality. Remember, as long as you are not moral in this world, morality cannot restrain you.

When I go to Yangzhou this time, I want to turn the tables!

Since those people don’t want to show dignity to the court, then the court will help them show respect! "

…………

the next morning

Jia Yu first took Jia Huan to squat for a while and gave him some instructions. Then he went to the Wucheng Army and Horse Department to finish the official business, and did not arrive at Ningguo Mansion until noon.

When he arrived at Ningguo Mansion, the entire Ningguo Mansion was already covered in silver, and all the servants were covered in white cloth.

When Jia Yu arrived at the Tianxiang Tower where the coffin was laid, the greeter in charge of the roll call shouted loudly: "Uncle Dingyuan, Commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and Commander-in-Chief of the Huben Battalion, Jia Yu, are here!"

As Jia Yu strode into Tianxiang Tower, the guests in Tianxiang Tower looked over.

Jia Yu strode to the coffin without squinting, and a servant handed him three sticks of sandalwood.

Jia Yu took the sandalwood and bowed to the coffin. The servant next to him shouted loudly: "Return the gift!"

Jia Rong, whose eyes were already red from crying, kowtowed to Jia Yu three times and cried: "My nephew kowtows to my uncle."

Jia Yu helped him up with a serious face, "Brother Zhen left suddenly, and the burden of Ningguo Mansion fell on your shoulders. You must bear it, do you understand?"

Jia Rong said sadly: "Thank you uncle for teaching me, my nephew understands."

"That's good."

Jia Yu patted Jia Rong on the shoulder: "If you have any difficulties or unresolved matters in the future, you can come to me directly. If I am not here, you can also go to your two aunts directly.

As long as it is not illegal or disciplined, we will not ignore it. "

"Thank you, uncle!"

Jia Yu immediately noticed a flash of joy in Jia Rong's eyes.

He sneered in his heart, even though Jia Rongsheng had a handsome face and slim figure, he was as dissolute and shameless as his father Jia Zhen in life.

In the original work, his father Jia Zhen played with his daughter-in-law, but he couldn't help his father so he went to molest Sister You.

In order to achieve the goal of continuing to fool around with Second Sister You, he came up with the idea of ​​letting Jia Lian secretly marry Second Sister You and place her outside the mansion, causing Second Sister You to be forced to death by Wang Xifeng.

In the original work, due to the many evil deeds of the father and son Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, the Ningguo Mansion was raided by the Jinyi Army, and they had to rely on the Rongguo Mansion to live.

Jia Rong is also a snake-killer. After hearing Jia Yu's comforting words, he quickly turned his head and said repeatedly: "But Qing, why are you still standing there? Why don't you come over quickly to thank my uncle?"

Following Jia Rong's voice, a slim beauty came over from behind, who was it not Qin Keqing.

Today, Qin Keqing is all white, as the saying goes, he wants to be pretty and filial.

The white mourning dress perfectly accentuates her graceful and voluptuous figure. Through the plain white mourning dress, Jia Yu can vaguely see the porcelain phoenix tied around her neck, which makes people even more charming.

I saw Qin Keqing walking up to him gracefully and bowing, her lips parted lightly: "My niece has met my uncle, and I wish my uncle good luck and good health."

"That's all, no courtesy."

Jia Yu didn't dare to look any further. She looked back and waved her hands, saying kindly: "Such a big thing happened in Ningguo Mansion. Didn't Mr. Jing come back?"

At the mention of this, Jia Rong's face showed a look of hesitation. He endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and said calmly: "Grandpa came back this morning, but he only stayed for two hours before returning to Xuanzhen Temple."

"gone back?"

Jia Yu couldn't help being surprised, "The person who died was his son. He just went back like this?"

Jia Rong said angrily: "Grandpa said that now he is an outsider and has cut off contact with the world. Being able to come back today is already breaking the precept, so he went back before you came."

"A person from outside the country?"

Jia Yu sneered at this. If you, Jia Jing, were really an outsider, then go and practice hard by yourself.

As far as he knew, Jia Jing spent tens of thousands of taels of silver just burning elixirs and refining mercury in Xuanzhen Temple every year. If the cost of the entire Taoist temple was added, it would be even more.

With such a life, you still have the nerve to say that you are an outsider?

Without the support of Ning Guofu, Xuanzhen Temple would not be able to survive for even half a month, and all the Taoist priests inside would starve to death.

However, he didn't say much about the affairs of Ningguo Mansion. He only comforted Jia Rong and Qin Keqing and told them to go to Uncle Dingyuan's Mansion to find their two aunts Yuan Chun and Tan Chun if they encounter any difficulties these days.

After making some gestures, Jia Yu was about to leave, but as soon as she reached the door, she met Lin Zhixiao, saying that it was Jia's mother who invited her.

Following Lin Zhixiao to Rongqing Hall, he found that in the flower hall of Rongqing Hall, not only Jia's mother was sitting at the head, but also Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun and others were also present.

Seeing Jia Yu arriving, everyone stood up to greet him.

It is not difficult to see from here that the degree to which a person is respected is closely linked to his status, strength and financial ability.

A year ago, when Jia Yu entered Rongguo Mansion for the first time, Lai Da led the way. After chatting with Jia Zheng in the outer study room in the northwest corner, when Jia Zheng knew that Jia Yu had been dismissed, he instantly He lost interest in him and sent him away after a few words of encouragement.

When he entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, he was already the fifth-level commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horses Division.

At that time, he entered the Rongqing Hall with the kindness of Jia Mu, but Jia Yu seemed to be very disrespectful. Not only did he contradict Jia Mu, but he also swung a knife to kill several evil slaves who almost killed him.

In the following days, as his official position grew, the Jia family became more and more respectful to him.

Now, he is not only the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, but also the hereditary uncle Dingyuan appointed by the emperor.

Now, even if he reprimands Baoyu in front of everyone, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang can only hold their noses and admit it. This is the change brought about by power and status.

After greeting everyone one by one, Jia Yu said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, Yu just came out of Ningguo Mansion.

You are so anxious to come to Yu. Is there something urgent? "

Jia Mu sighed softly, "It's true that Brother Zhen left as soon as he said it, leaving Youshi and Brother Rong behind, an orphan and a widowed mother. What will we do in the future?

But the reason I called you here today is not because of brother Zhen, but because my miserable son-in-law Ruhai just sent a letter saying that he is suffering from a serious illness and wants Lin Yatou to return to Yangzhou to take care of her illness.

It's just that Shenjing is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou. If Lin Yatou goes back alone, how can I rest assured, old lady?

After thinking about it, Brother Yu is the most capable in our Jia family. I just want to ask you, can you think of a way to safely send my miserable granddaughter back to Yangzhou? "
