Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Sister Feng pressed Xiangyun's head back, and spat, "You shouldn't know these things."

　　Xiangyun blinked his eyes ignorantly, "What is that prostitution?"

　　Li Wan replied with a blushing face, "Don't ask, it's just a good thing."

　　"But the old lady said..."

　　Tan Chun next to him pulled back Xiang Yun, who was still asking, "Don't talk."

　　Xiang Yuncai stood upright and did not move.

　　Jia Zheng on the side stood beside the old lady with his hands down and said, "Just now, my son lost his hand..."

　　"Missed for a while?" The old lady snorted coldly, "I think you're a murderous hand! This time, his mother blocked him, and next time it was my old wife who blocked him."

　　Jia Zheng has always been obedient in front of the old lady, one is filial piety, and the other is character.But at this point today, he couldn't bear it any longer, and complained a little: "Old lady, the so-called jade can't be made into a tool. My son knows that Baoyu is intelligent and different from others. Only by supervising and urging him can he live up to the qualifications God has given him. The son hates that iron is not steel, and the means may be more intense, but it is all for his own good. When Pearl was as old as him, he had already read the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. …”

　　Before he could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted him: "Where is Pearl now?"

　　Jia Zheng's heart was suddenly full of bitterness. This was not only the pain in his heart, but also the pain in the hearts of Mrs. Wang and Li Wan!

　　As Mrs. Wang said, "If my pearls are still there, you will kill a hundred jewels, and I won't care."

　　The old lady rubbed Baoyu, "I know you blame me for protecting and pampering Baoyu, but if you want to force him to study, when did I stop you? Knowing that your son is no better than your mother, maybe you still complained about your father's relics that you did in the past. A junior official of the sixth rank, thinking that with your own knowledge, you will definitely be able to go to high school, but do you know that you are lazy, and you will fight hard once you think of it, and it will be dismissed after a while. Just the ink in your stomach is far worse than that of Brother Zhen's father over there. That's what a real scholar looks like, but later on, he was suffering from a heart attack. "

　　Jia Zheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mother, my son never resents his father! It's a pity that my son is blunt and silent, which disappoints the old man. The son does not dare to compare to the elder brother, his literary style is natural, not his son's aptitude and bluntness. …”

　　"What a talented and dull one! I didn't give birth to a good son! The big one is not a good official, and it's just a matter of drinking at home and raising a young wife. After all these years, I couldn't even earn a minister and waiter. I climbed one level from the fifth rank, and now I have to rely on my daughter's blessing to rise one rank. When I reach the fifth rank, do you still have face? Brother Zhen, who was also a donation officer at first, has been a deputy general in the past few years. The commander-in-chief, the general, sits down to the prince, although I don't like seeing him, but I have to admit that he is going to overwhelm us. You teach your son, and I will teach you! If you read every day, the books are all read into the dog's stomach?"

　　Jia Zheng was extremely ashamed, and he was in the middle of his unspeakable concealment.

　　With such a big battle at home, Jia She and Mrs. Xing from the East Road Courtyard are only late to watch the fun.

　　As soon as Jia She came, he heard the old lady talking about him, and was too embarrassed to speak.Only Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "For people like us, it is indispensable to be an official or not. Besides, if the empress is in the palace, maybe in two years, his father will be appointed as the minister of the minister."

　　This stupid woman!

　　Jia She hurriedly scolded her: "What do you know! In fact, you, a woman, can make up the affairs of the court?"

　　The old lady's face remained unchanged, and she had known that this eldest daughter-in-law was worried.

　　The scene suddenly became cold.

　　Their family only cared about Baoyu, completely ignoring the unconscious Qiguan.

　　Baoyu doesn't care?

　　Take care!Ask someone to guard him until he wakes up?

　　At this time, the big housekeeper Lin Zhixiao hurried over and said to Jia Zheng: "Master, the long history of Zhongshun's palace visited and said that he has something important to discuss with the master! The servant will report first, and he will arrive later."

　　"Prince Zhongshun? We have never communicated, what is there to discuss with me?" Jia Zheng wondered.

　　Seeing that there were foreign guests, the old lady asked her family members to go back first.

　　When he didn't move, Su Changyou, the chief historian of the Zhongshun Palace, held his head high and rushed over in a hurry.He entered the ceremonial door, and squinted to see someone hitting the board. The front of the clothes on the back of his hips was full of blood, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He thought it was someone from Jia's house, so he walked straight past and came to the Rongxi Hall.

　　Jia Zheng and Jia She welcomed him in.

　　Su Changyou was arrogant and did not take them seriously.Very perfunctory, he bowed his hands, and had to sit on his own.He represents King Zhongshun, and naturally he has this qualification.

　　But when he walked to the nave, a silver-haired old woman was already seated in the main seat.

　　He slightly put away his arrogant face, bowed and smiled and said, "This must be the old lady? The old lady greets her in person, how can a lower official be worthy? Ashamed, ashamed!" He lifted up his robe and sat down to her left.

　　Jia Zheng and Jia She had to sit on the two rows of chairs on the ground floor.

　　The old lady was quite displeased, and there was not much respect in her words, "What's your business?"

　　Su Changyou smiled and said, "Xiaguan did not dare to trespass into your house this time, but there is only one small matter that can only be done if it falls on your house."

　　Knowing that this long history is not good, Jia Zheng said with a careful smile: "Master Su has any orders, just come through, and the evil government will definitely not obey."

　　The old lady frowned, why is she so humble?Not to mention that the surnamed Su is only a fifth-rank official, just like Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng is also the father of the imperial concubine of the dynasty.

　　She snorted coldly, "Did Lord Zhongshun send you here, or is it Lord Changshi's own business?"

　　The smile on Su Changyou's face disappeared, and he said straightly: "I'm here because I'm an official, I'm not making an assertion without authorization, it's all because I've been ordered by the king. Looking at the prince's face, he dared to bother the old lady and the two adults to decide, not only the prince knew about it. , and even the lower officials are grateful."

　　Hearing this, Jia Zheng became more and more at a loss as to what was going on. He hurriedly stood up with a smile and asked, "I also hope that the adults will make it clear that the students will follow the instructions."

　　Na Su Changyou sneered and said: "There is no need to undertake it, it can be done with just one sentence from the adults. There is a Qiguan in our house who is a Xiaodan. He has always been in the house very well. , and couldn't find his way, so he visited various places. In this city, the people from Ten Stops and Eight Stops said that he was very friendly with the Linglang who held the jade recently. The lower officials waited to hear, The honorable mansion is no better than other houses, and can be obtained without authorization, so Qiming Wangye. Wangye said: 'If there are other actors, it's just a hundred, but this Qiguan answered randomly, cautious and sincere, and it suits my old man's heart. Duan Duan can’t be without this person.’ Therefore, I beg the lord to turn to the commander, please put Qi Guan back, first, to comfort the lord’s sincerity and sincerity, and second, to save the lower officials from the trouble of searching for them.” After speaking, he hurriedly called. bow.

　　As soon as he said these words, the old lady and Jia Zheng were shocked. Could it be that the one who was beaten was Qi Guan?How can this be good?

　　Jia She didn't know the reason, but smiled and said, "This is a trivial matter, just call Baoyu, ask him where he is, and hand it back to the adults for life!"

　　Su Changyou said: "So, very good! Please return it quickly!"

　　Jia She sent people to pass Baoyu out.

　　The old lady knew that this matter was not easy to solve, so she smiled and said, "My family's Baoyu has always been studying at home, and has never gone out to tease Qiguan."

　　Su Changyou sneered: "The old lady doesn't need to deny it, since the subordinate official is here, there must be evidence, and today, five or six people saw Qiguan enter your house and hold hands with your brother. in."

　　The old lady smiled and said: "It's not a denial, it's just strange, this Qiguan is not the prince's concubine and servant, so I'm sure it's Baoyu's teasing? It's just an actor. This crime is really unbearable!"

　　Su Changyou said: "What crime do you want to say, old lady. If Qiguan is found, everyone will be fine. If he can't be found, the prince will be beaten by the prince, and the matter will be implicated in the palace. It's a big deal."

　　The old lady thought to herself that they had to find Qiguan, and she didn't need to hide it, "Master Su came by coincidence. Just now, my son taught Baoyu not to read, and beat Baoyu with an actor who was fooling around with him. In the front door. I don't know if it's the Qi Guan you said?"

　　"What?" Su Chang stood up in shock. Was the one who was beaten and the one who passed by earlier was Qi Guan?This was bad, he was so panicked that he couldn't take care of his official self-restraint, and ran out in a hurry, almost tripping over his official uniform.

　　He came to Qi Guan, squatted down and looked carefully, "It's really Qi Guan!"

　　Pain too!Is it dead?

　　He put his trembling hand under Qi Guan's nose.He can't serve the prince like this, how can the prince be reconciled?If Qi Guan really died, even he could not escape death!

　　At this time, a young man wearing jade came over and said: "Qi Guan is not dead! I asked someone to get the medicine for the golden sore." There were tears in the corners of his eyes.

　　Su Changyou saw that the young man's jade face was clear and clear, and asked in a negative way: "Is your Excellency the son of Jiafu's jade?"

　　As soon as Baoyu returned to the back, he was called out again, and replied dumbly, "Yes, who are you?"

　　Su Chang sneered and grabbed him, "You don't need to know who I am, I will take you to see the prince."

　　When the old lady and Jia Zheng saw Baoyu going to the front, they stomped their feet and scolded, "Who is following Baoyu? How did he get out?"

　　Jia Zheng supported the old lady and rushed over to stop him, "Lord Changshi, why are you doing this?"

　　Su Changyou sneered and said, "You have made a good person like this. I can't deal with the prince, so I have to ask Linglang to go to the palace to explain it to the prince in person. Let's go!" Then he forced Baoyu to go out.

　　The old lady said angrily: "I don't think you have figured out your identity. Are you from Shuntian Prefecture, Dali Temple, or the Ministry of Punishment? A small official with sesame seeds and mung bean, just want to arrest people?"

　　Su Changyou pointed at Qi Guan, who was unconscious, and snorted coldly, "Sesame mung bean? I don't think you even have two sesame mung bean? Why, who beat our Zhongshun palace, don't you still think about it, think you will? Are you okay? You want a subpoena from the Three Judicial Justices, huh, there are some of these things! Do you want one of them?"

　　The old lady was trembling with anger, "Do you think the sign at the door is fake? Anyone can come in and out at will? What you caught is the younger brother of the current imperial concubine. Today you want to take someone from my house. , if you want to ask the imperial concubine if she agrees, you must also ask Ning Guogong if she agrees! Otherwise, don't even think about stepping out of the gate!" The old lady finally carried Jia Zhen out, otherwise it would be a little less convincing.

　　Su Changyou's expression changed, thinking that Ning Guofu was next to him, if something went wrong, would Jia Zhen take a knife?So he calmed himself down for a while, and snorted coldly, "Why, are you still trying to force people down?" After speaking, he took the opportunity to let go of Baoyu's hand.

　　Baoyu got off and hurriedly retreated behind the old lady.

　　The old lady hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, with your sister and brother Jane here, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

　　Jia Zheng pondered for a while, then stepped forward and persuaded: "Lord Changshi, the students didn't know beforehand that this Qiguan was the one who was enshrined by the prince. It was only because of the child that he was implicated in vain..."

　　Su Changyou interrupted him and said, "Xiaguan will bring Qiguan back first. As for what will happen next, it is beyond your expectation. Farewell!" He asked his entourage to lift Qiguan and carefully take him back to the Zhongshun Palace. .

　　Seeing them leave, Jia She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "A small chief historian, who dares to show off his might in Rongguo Mansion, is in the wrong place!"

　　But the old lady frowned and told Lin Zhixiao, "Go over there and see if Brother Zhen is in the mansion? Be sure to invite him over!" Lin Zhixiao took the order.

　　Jia Zheng wondered, "Does the mother think there will be something wrong with Prince Zhongshun?"

　　The old lady sighed, "When Chang Shi goes back, he won't give up. If he comes next time, it won't be easy to get rid of it like this."

　　Lin Zhixiao arrived at Ning Mansion, but Jia Zhen was not in the mansion.It turned out that Suyun sent a letter yesterday, saying that a neighbor had a child who seemed to have acne, which really made Jia Zhen's heart skip a beat.Although acne is not necessarily smallpox, but if it is smallpox... Jia Zhen dare not think about it.He hurried round and round, and the best way to treat acne is to grow cowpox, which is convenient and easy to do.Early this morning, he forced several doctors to go out of the city.

　　Lin Zhixiao had to ask Huang An to wait for Uncle Zhen to return to the house, and immediately reported to Uncle Zhen, hoping that it would be too late.

　　The old lady went to Beijing Wangfu to report the letter again, but when Beijing Wang found out that Qiguan had been beaten, the expression of displeasure and anger was evident, and she sent someone back without saying anything.The old lady was even more worried, thinking about it, the Xue family needless to say, the Wang family could not count on it at the moment, so they only deceived her mother's nephew, Xiangyun's uncle Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, and talked about being the middle person.

　　Besides, Su Changyou carried Qi Guan back to the palace, and Prince Zhongshun hurriedly threw the blood-stained stick, and rushed over in two steps.When he saw his tragic state, Prince Zhongshun beat his chest and stomped his feet, as if empathizing with him.He applied the medicine for Qi Guan himself, and every time he wiped it, he shed a tear, "What kind of ruthless person can he kill next time?" He did not even see the maid and eunuch who was beaten and bruised by him in the palace hall, not even moaning. Dare to speak up.

　　After Prince Zhongshun had served Qi Guan and ordered the imperial doctor to guard him, he walked out with a sullen look, took the sword in his hand, and shouted, "Come here, go to Rongguo with Gu to get someone!"

　　Su Chang responded slowly, and was kicked away by him, "You bastard, you go earlier, how could Qi Guan be like this? You still have a face in front of Gu? Get out! Gu doesn't want to see you again!"

　　Su Changyou saw that King Zhongshun got on the horse, and the horse's hoof was about to step on him. In a panic, he rolled to the side and was able to hide.

　　King Chung Soon rode on his horse and laughed. "You're lucky! Let's go!"

　　The two teams galloped away after Queen Zhongshun.

Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-fifth Chapter Zhongshun King Naruto Rong Mansion

　　In the old lady's courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding has just arrived.

　　"Yun'er, you haven't been home for over a month, haven't you?" Shi Ding said with a smile to Xiang Yun who was sitting beside the old lady.

　　Xiangyun was very cautious in front of her uncle, she twisted the veil in her hands, for fear that her uncle would call her back at this moment. "It was Brother Zhen who insisted on keeping me, saying that if I went back, I would have no taste."

　　After hearing this, Shi Ding stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that the grandfather of the country still values ​​you. I heard that he recognized you as his sister?"

　　Xiangyun didn't dare to talk nonsense, and explained, "That's just what Brother Zhen said when he was joking, and it's beyond count."

　　Shi Ding said: "How can this kind of thing be a joke? Both your uncle and I agree with this matter. Later, I will go to the Ningguo Mansion and settle this matter with the grandfather of the country. This way, our relationship will be even closer, you If we stay here, we can rest assured.”

　　Xiangyun opened his eyes wide and looked at Shi Ding with joy, "Second Uncle, are you serious? Can I stay here?"

　　Shi Ding pretended to be displeased and said, "You can go back if you want. It just so happens that your second aunt always complains about the lack of staff at home. The girls who replace you are not as capable as you."

　　Xiang Yun clapped his hands and smiled: "Second uncle, you are the best!"

　　The old lady put her arms around Xiangyun, "It's up to you, go and play with the sisters!"

　　Xiangyun flew away like a happy little swallow.

　　Then, the old lady asked Yuanyang to send the others away before laughing: "Your brothers also took great pains."

　　Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Shi Ding did not cryptically say: "Since the beginning of the year, the imperial court has undergone great changes one after another, and many honorable and relative ministers have suffered. The personal connections that our historians have accumulated over the years have all been lost, and we can't help but advance and retreat. Now, we urgently need Duke Ning Guo. Only with support can we gain a firm foothold. Otherwise, the next wave will turn over, and I’m afraid it will be our turn.”

　　The old lady pondered: "I don't understand the affairs of the imperial court, has it really reached this point?"

　　Shi Ding sighed and said, "It's more than that. If you don't have a backer and you can't hold a group together, you will only end up being exiled. Besides, I'm not afraid of my aunt's jokes. My nephew and brother's family has only a few months of silver. It's just maintenance. There are not many empty-shell noble families like us in the Shenjing, and they can't be as rich and powerful as the grandfather of the country."
