Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Or go to Suyun's place and see if the cowpox is cured?There is also the project on the Weihe River outside the city, which is about to be completed, and the various plans can be carried out step by step, and still need to be supervised at any time.

　　The emperor also kept an eye on this matter. His inner pockets were almost exhausted. Fortunately, Jia Zhen handed over the tens of thousands of taels squeezed from King Zhongshun, which was a drop in the bucket.

　　In fact, fundamentally speaking, the reason why the court is so short of money is because of Jia Zhen.His idea of ​​an exchange brought a huge amount of revenue equivalent to the salt tax to the court, and then the chamber of commerce would pay it up. As a result, the court suddenly became rich, and the emperor was very ambitious. , In order to reduce the resistance, they are all hit with silver.The effect of these two years is naturally significant. It is estimated that in another two or three years, many problems that have plagued the Huaxia Dynasty for thousands of years will be completely solved.But the emperor couldn't wait any longer, the stalls became bigger and bigger, and naturally there was not enough money.

　　A few days ago, the emperor specially asked Jia Zhen to write a book about maritime trade.Jia Zhen heard the news and was already preparing in the coastal provinces to build a Dashun version of the East India Company!

　　Of course, these are all far-fetched.

　　When she came back to her senses, a small white and tender hand swayed in front of Jia Zhen's eyes, "Return to the soul!" Xiang Ling called out.

　　Jia Zhen grabbed it and took it into her arms.

　　Xiang Ling screamed in surprise, and let him rub it. "Master, let me tell you something!"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "What news do you have?"

　　Xiang Ling moaned tenderly, breaking free from Jia Zhen's embrace, "Let's talk properly."

　　Jia Zhen has no choice but to pick up the pen and write and draw on the paper.

　　I just heard Xiang Ling say, "I'm going over there today, and Sister Feng told me that the old lady and wife over there went to the palace to ask to see the empress."

　　"Oh!" Jia Zhen was not surprised at all.They ignored their warnings and went anyway. "How is the result?"

　　"I heard that it was sent back after two words. The old lady and the lady over there didn't even have a chance to talk."

　　"Oh?" This was a bit surprising.

　　Xiang Ling walked up quietly and said in Jia Zhen's ear: "Also, Sister Feng asked me to ask the master a word. When she was leaving the palace, the empress asked Baoqin to pass on a word. It has been a long time since the last time. I went to the Fengzao Palace, and there are bad rumors in the palace. At this time, don’t let anything happen to the family and let people get caught. Everything is mainly about being quiet and patient. Sister Feng also said that when the old lady and the wife come back, they will I don’t fight anymore, and I don’t watch the show. The old lady even donated [-] taels of sesame oil to make offerings in front of the Buddha!”

　　Jia Zhen just listened to it.It's not suitable to go there recently, so the old lady and the second aunt won't be embarrassed.

　　It was his fault to just let Baoer and Yuer fall in love with each other.

　　A few days later, Jia Zheng was impeached one after another, and the words Lian Baoyu said that he was guilty of ten crimes such as greed for ink, playing games, and committing murder.

　　Obviously this is King Zhongshun's revenge trick, and in the beginning, everyone was watching Jia Zhen's reaction.But Jia Zhen didn't say a word, and instead ran to the Weishui every day.There is even news in the palace that Jia's daughter fell out of favor and washed her face in tears all day.

　　The wind has changed!

　　As a result, those who thought they were smart joined the list of impeachers. Gradually, the impeachment became more and more noisy, and they demanded that Jia Zheng and his son be punished.

　　Jia Zheng is a rank five official, how has he ever seen such a huge battle?He simply took a leave of absence after taking a break, studied behind closed doors, and paid no attention to foreign affairs.However, the development of the matter soon exceeded Jia Zheng's expectations. The Ministry of Punishment requested a thorough investigation, and the emperor issued a decree for approval.

　　What a good word!

　　The number of officials entering and leaving the Rongguo Mansion suddenly increased, including those from the Ministry of Industry and Punishment, some from the Dali Temple of the Prefectural Court, and even from the Shuntian Mansion.

　　Jia Zheng was very annoying, he explained it patiently several times, and he just let it go. No matter if he wanted to kill, cut or exile, he would listen to him.

　　He is also a Buddhist.

　　There are rumors outside that Jia Zheng and his son could not escape the national law this time!Even Shi Ding and Wang Ziteng persuaded Jia Zheng to plead guilty and fight for clemency.The King of Beijing also only spoke warmly and comforted, saying that there was nothing wrong.

　　As a result, Madam Wang became more and more terrified day by day. She was worried about Baoyu being arrested, Jia Zheng being dismissed, and Yuanchun falling out of favor.

　　She has nowhere to go.Surrounded by nightmares every day: the Jinyi Army raided the Rong Mansion, and a chain locked Baoyu.Baoyu shouted in panic, and the Jinyi Army slapped Baoyu with a flogging, and Baoyu was slapped on the face. Yuanchun cried out miserably "Mother"!

　　"Ah!" Madam Wang woke up again, but Jia Zheng was nowhere to be seen.

　　She shouted in fear: "Master! Master!"

　　Jia Zheng did not answer.

　　Could it be...

　　So she burst into tears.

　　The big girls in the room, Xiuluan and Xiufeng, hurried in, "Madam, what's the matter with you?"

　　Madam Wang cried, "Master, he has been arrested!"

　　Xiuluan and Xiufeng looked at each other, sighed secretly, and comforted: "Madam, Master is fine, last night Master rested at Concubine Zhao's place."

　　Madam Wang suddenly remembered that everything was just a dream.Gradually, she calmed down her turbulent mood, "What time is it?"

　　Xiulan looked at the Western Clock, "It's time for the cocks to croak soon."

　　Mrs. Wang lifted the quilt and saw that the moon-white coat was embroidered with cloud patterns, her chest was trembling slightly, and her feet were delicate.

　　Sitting in front of the dressing table, she sighed, "Wash up, wait a moment, go to the East Mansion and ask if Mr. Zhen is here? If he is, I have something to discuss with him."

　　Xiu Luan and Xiufeng did not ask Mrs. Wang's plan, so they responded carefully.

　　Seeing that Xiufeng brought the white embroidered golden robes that Xiufeng wore on weekdays and a long skirt of the same color, he pondered for a while, and taught him to bring the bright red folded flower robes that were rarely worn in the past. Not solemn enough.He put it away again, wearing only the usual dress.The pearl hairpin was selected and selected again, and the selected one was also the golden phoenix hairpin that was worn in the old days, and there were a few more pearl flowers.

　　Xiufeng admired from the side: "Madam, you look much better wearing this!"

　　Mrs. Wang herself doesn't know what's wrong, is it because she is grieving and sleepless, or is it because of the promise she made to Jia Zhen earlier?

　　"Bah! It's really crazy!" She secretly spit, she is already an old man, how can she still expect Hong Xing to come out of the wall?

　　She took off Bu Yao again and only inserted two golden hairpins.

　　Fang Cai sighed.

　　The girl who reported the letter from outside came to report that Mr. Zhen went out of the city today and will not be able to return until noon!

　　Mrs. Wang supported the table, took the rosary from Xiuluan's hand, and went to the wing room to recite the scriptures.

　　Xiu Luan and Xiu Feng looked at her trembling in surprise, "What's wrong with your wife?"

　　It wasn't until the afternoon when Madam Wang served the old lady for dinner, and hurried back to the front of the mirror.

　　At this time, Jia Zhen had not returned yet, and You Shi and others invited her to rest inside.

　　Mrs. Wang's expression was as usual, but anyone could see that she was in a panic.You Shi and the others could guess three or four points, and they didn't want to take the initiative to mention it, so they just wentssip with them.

　　It was almost the end of time, and Jia Zhen's voice came from outside, "Take my post to Suzhou, and carefully check the few Westerners, especially the Hans, if you find it, send it over immediately!"

　　"Master, don't worry, the students will do it now!" This was Master Luo's voice.

　　Soon, Jia Zhen strode in and said with a smile, "Why are you all here today? Have you changed your mind?" He was about to get close to them, and when he saw Madam Wang there, he stopped and folded his hands. Said: "Second aunt is also there?"

　　Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Today, I came to thank Brother Zhen." Her eyes flickered.

　　Jia Zhen frowned, not wanting to see her, let alone going to the muddy waters of Rongguo Mansion.After all, he has the emperor's will, and no one can say anything.

　　"Second aunt is being polite, but I actually didn't do anything. You didn't want the painting you finally asked for, but hung it on my Ning'an Hall. You didn't even take a tael of silver. It was really cheap for me. I I would also like to thank the second aunt!"

　　On the other hand, You Shi and the others knew that they had something to talk about, and even Jin Chuan'er didn't need to wait, so they all left wisely.

　　Seeing that there were only the two of them left in the room, Mrs. Wang panicked inexplicably. "Right now... the imperial court is looking into your uncle and Baoyu's sins, I don't know that day..." Tears streamed down after saying this.

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said: "Second aunt is concerned and then messed up, isn't it okay! Second aunt just don't worry! Even if something happens..." He deliberately stopped for a while, "That's fine, at most two years in exile, just take it as Study tour. I will make arrangements on the way."

　　When Madam Wang heard Jia Zhen speak of exile, she held the handkerchief and caressed her chest, her heart was even more panicked, "Really...do you want to be exiled...exile?"

　　She was really frightened.

　　But Jia Zhen didn't give her a definite letter, "Not necessarily. Let's plan for the worst. In case of a great favor, Yousi finds out that they are all false accusations! Therefore, it's better for Second Aunt to relax."

　　Mrs. Wang was a little relieved. Now she just wanted to hear the good news, and pretended not to hear the bad news and turned a deaf ear.

　　Mrs. Wang tried her best to persuade herself to calm down, but she couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhen, there is news from the Empress that the situation is not good. Do you know?"

　　"In the palace?" Jia Zhen naturally knew.He and Dai Quan are considered to be friends in the trenches. Wei Wei revealed that the emperor had injured his body due to the last rebellion, and the trauma was fine.The so-called rumors in the palace are not enough to mention.What's more, now that the emperor is reusing Jia Zhen, he will not neglect Yuanchun at this time.

　　In this sense, it is really boring to be an emperor. You can't let your temperament be who you want to turn over at night.

　　"How can we as courtiers be able to inquire about things in the palace?" Jia Zhen was silent.

　　Madam Wang looked sad. The three of her closest relatives were all in crisis. Looking around, no one could lend a helping hand.The old lady urged her several times, only Jia Zhen could rescue her.

　　At this moment, she no longer has the confidence to hold her own identity and bossy in the past. She is just a mother, a wife, and a desperate, almost sad and desperate woman.

　　She hesitated several times, "Brother Zhen, can you go and beg the emperor?"

　　Jia Zhen shook her head: "The emperor has warned me to let me not care about your business anymore. I am also a holy order."

　　Seeing Jia Zhen's firm refusal, Mrs. Wang sank to the bottom of her heart. Does the emperor really want to punish the master and Baoyu?Definitely yes!Definitely yes!

　　She was in a trance for a while, and she couldn't even stand.

　　Seeing that she was about to fall, Jia Zhen didn't even think about it, she stepped forward to support her, and grabbed her hand.

　　I saw that her face was slightly plump, and although the corners of her eyes were a little bit old, she had been pampered for many years, and her body and appearance still showed that she was beautiful at that time.

　　Jia Zhen took two glances and felt the shallowness of her waist and the softness of her hands, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.

　　"Second aunt, please forgive my nephew for being powerless!" He firmly rejected her request.This kind of thing cannot be done, nor need to be done.

　　Madam Wang withdrew her hand from Jia Zhen, her heart pounding and her ears turning red.She remembered a slip of the tongue last time.

　　Wouldn't he delay it because he didn't keep his promise, he could be saved, but he was indifferent, was it all for this reason?

　　In fact, Mrs. Wang was wrong, and Jia Zhen really wasn't because of this.As for that promise it's a joke.

　　But Mrs. Wang took it seriously now.

　　The more she thought about it, the more certain she became, her eyes looking at Jia Zhen were full of hesitation, puzzlement, and embarrassment.

　　She grabbed the placket of her clothes and was silent for a long time, "Is it because of that?"

　　Jia Zhen looked at her in surprise.What this and that?With no head and no tail, he just finds it funny.

　　Mrs. Wang saw him smiling and said nothing, and finally made up her mind.

　　Her face was flushed, and she was ashamed and angry. She wanted to slap him and scold him several times, but she was timid, and she couldn't express her thoughts.

　　She twisted the handkerchief, her legs were filled with lead, one step closer to him, two steps back.

　　She can't do this...

　　When You Shi called from outside the door, the two were relieved from the embarrassment.

　　So Mrs. Wang fled and returned to the small main room in the east of the Rong Mansion.

　　She tossed and turned uneasy, holding the bright red Beizi in her hand, "Injustice!"

　　Let's talk later!
