For safety reasons, Jia Yun is now very strict with the inner court of the palace.
Regarding the concubines of Emperor Tianzhi, Jia Yun asked Tao Zhan, the eunuch of the West Palace, to closely monitor the concubines of Emperor Tianzhi such as Yin family, Yuan Chun, Ning Fei, etc. Even if they contacted outside the palace through eunuchs, Tao Zhan would usually know.
He will report to Jia Yun, but Jia Yun gives preferential treatment to Qing Wan and Bu Wuniang, asking Tao Zhan to relax his surveillance on them.
In the same way, Jia Yun also gave Xue Baochai such preferential treatment.
Because of this, Aunt Xue recently sent a message to Xue Baochai through the eunuch, asking Xue Baochai to plead for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong. Jia Yun did not know about this. It was not until Xue Baochai spoke that he knew that if Jia Mu was not asking Xue Baochai to plead for mercy, but
If you go to Yuanchun to intercede, then Jia Yun should be able to find out through the eunuch in advance.
Now Jia Yun asked Xue Baochai: "Do you think I should be kind to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong?"
Xue Baochai said calmly: "I know that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are involved in a major royal case, and the emperor is the victim of this case. They deserved to be sent to Shanhaiguan as slaves. I just want to be with the old lady in Rongfu."
I only told the emperor this matter out of personal affection, which is already an offense. As for whether the emperor is merciful or not, it is up to the emperor to decide, and there is no way for my concubines to interfere."
In the original work, Wang Xifeng made a comment about Xue Baochai, saying that Xue Baochai "made up his mind, did not do his own business, did not open his mouth, shook his head when asked, and did not know." This means that Xue Baochai clearly has the brains and means, but he always protects himself in the Rongguo Mansion.
.
Many people in the previous life did not like Xue Baochai, mainly because they thought Xue Baochai was scheming and ruthless.
In Jia Yun's view, Xue Baochai does have a cold personality, but she is not a heartless person. At least she is very filial to Aunt Xue, and she also cares about Xue Pan, her incompetent brother, and also cares about Xiang Ling, Xing Xiuyan, Shi Xiangyun and others.
Everyone cares and helps, how can such a person be called heartless?
Since Xue Baochai married Jia Yun, according to Jia Yun's personal experience, Xue Baochai really cared about him and sometimes showed a gentle side.
In the original work, the flower name tag drawn by Xue Baochai depicts a peony, and the title is "Beautiful and beautiful", and the title is "No matter how ruthless it is, it is moving". The word "ruthless" here does not mean cold-blooded, but reserved and steady.
.
Because of his cold temperament, his reserve and prudent nature, and his ability to keep his integrity, Xue Baochai was able to protect himself wisely in Rongguo Mansion. After all, the Xue family was in a bad situation and they were living in Rongguo Mansion.
Knowing Xue Baochai like this, it is not difficult to understand why Xue Baochai risked offending Jia Yun this time and told Jia Yun about Jia Zhen and Jia Rong out of consideration for Aunt Xue and Jia Mu.
But she just told the matter. If Jia Yun was unwilling to be merciful, she would not force it. Besides, she had no good feelings for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son. When she lived in Rongguo Mansion, she had heard some
The dirty deeds of this father and son.
Jia Yun paused and said: "Since the old lady of Rongfu begged her mother-in-law for this matter, and my mother-in-law asked you to speak to me, I will send someone to escort Jia Zhen and Jia Rong back to Shenjing and send them to Jingjing."
He became a eunuch in the office and worked as an errand in Jingshan from now on."
Even though Xue Baochai was reserved and steady, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "..."
Jia Zhen used to be the head of the Jia family and the head of the Ningguo Mansion. Jia Rong used to be Jia Zhen's only son. Now both of them are going to be turned into eunuchs. Although Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have become eunuchs, it doesn't mean that Ning Guo Mansion will never be the next.
The government is not limited to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, but this incident is really sad.
…
…
The next day, the first day of June, morning.
Jia Yun immediately asked the eunuch to "show mercy" to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, and sent them to Yuanchun's palace on Neiting West Road to inform Yuan Chun.
After hearing this, Yuan Chun was as stunned as Xue Baochai last night: "..."
Originally, she planned to find a good opportunity to plead with Jia Yun to be kind to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong. She did not expect that Jia Mu would beg Aunt Xue so quickly and asked Xue Baochai to tell Jia Yun about this matter. What she did not expect was that,
Jia Yun actually handled this matter like this...
Yuanchun didn't know for a moment whether he should be happy or sad.
In her opinion, Jia Yun is indeed showing mercy this time, but Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have become eunuchs. This is also a shame for the Jia family. Even she, a noble concubine from Rongguo Mansion, feels a little ashamed.
ah.
…
…
This morning, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng were making arrangements for Jia Mu.
Madam Xing suddenly said: "It has been several days, why has there been no mercy message from the palace? Is it possible that the empress has no intention of telling the emperor about this?"
Mrs. Xing was originally jealous of Mrs. Wang, but now that Mrs. Wang's niece Xue Baochai has become the queen, and both Mrs.
Stupid woman, but she also knows that in the Rongguo Mansion today, the first bedroom is even worse than the second bedroom.
What Mrs. Xing actually wants to say now is that Xue Baochai is unwilling to help the Jia family, but she does not dare to say it directly, so she can only say it in a roundabout way.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were silent when they heard this, but Mother Jia spoke up: "Since the concubine has already sent a message to the empress, think about it, even if the empress does not care about the friendship with our family, she still cares about the concubine's face.
I won’t sit back and watch, I’m probably waiting for the right time, just wait and see.”
Mrs.
, even if Bao Yatou pleads for mercy, it will probably not work. It is rare for an old lady to ask for help, and this time she begged the Xue family for the first time. If this matter goes wrong, not only will the old lady be disgraced, but the second wife will also be disgraced.
snort!"
Immediately, Mrs. Xing resigned and prepared to return to the East Road Courtyard in a sedan chair.
The sedan chair had just been carried out of the west corner gate. At this moment, a majestic eunuch on horseback stopped in front of the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion. There were many eunuchs following him, which immediately attracted Mrs. Xing's special attention!
Mrs.
Out of curiosity, Mrs. Xing returned to the house. She had guessed that it was probably related to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's affairs.
Yes, Yu Wen, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, came to the Rongguo Mansion and alerted the Rongguo Mansion. Since Jia Zheng worked in the Ministry of Industry, Lin Zhixiao went out to meet Yu Wen. Yu Wen told Lin Zhixiao that he came today to treat Jia's mother.
There is no need to go to war or set up an incense table. You can just go directly to Jia Mu's courtyard to issue the edict.
Even so, the main door had to be opened naturally. While Lin Zhixiao opened the main door to welcome Yu Wen, he hurriedly sent someone to notify Jia Mu, and then took Yu Wen into Jia Mu's courtyard.
Jia Mu, Mrs.
Purpose, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong will be imprisoned from Shanhai back to Shenjing, sent to the Jingshi Room, and will be on duty in Jingshan from now on, in order to atone for their sins, I admire this!"
Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang were all stunned: "..."
The three of them thought at the same time, should this be considered a mercy or a heavier punishment?
It can be regarded as a mercy. After all, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong no longer need to be slaves in Shanhaiguan. They can return to the sacred city of Beijing and serve the court on duty in Jingshan. However, these two have to become eunuchs...
After announcing the decree, Yu Wen didn't even have time to have tea, so he left without waiting any longer.
After Yu Wen left, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng came over curiously to inquire about the situation. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable and did not want to speak. Mrs.
Everyone was stunned: "..."
After reacting, Wang Xifeng sighed two words in her heart: "You deserve it!"
Wang Xifeng knew very well the shameless father and son Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, and believed that they had led Jia Lian into trouble in this regard. Now that she knew that the two were going to become eunuchs, Wang Xifeng was also a little gloating about their misfortune.
…
…
Jia Baoyu was staying in Lin Daiyu's room. At this moment, the maid Qianxue brought the news that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were going to return to Shenjing to be eunuchs.
Before Jia Baoyu could react immediately, he asked confusedly: "They are not eunuchs, how can they be eunuchs?"
Lin Daiyu lowered her head and said nothing.
Qian Xue said: "Second Master Bao was confused again. Naturally, he first... turned them into eunuchs, and then let them be eunuchs!"
Jia Baoyu also understood and was stunned. Then he thought of himself and if Jia Yun turned him into a eunuch...
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu suddenly shivered and shuddered!
The news soon reached the ears of Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun.
Jia Xichun was depressed again, because Jia Zhen was her brother and Jia Rong was her nephew. They were reduced to eunuchs, which made her feel that she was also embarrassed and would be implicated by them again because of this matter.
I was secretly discussed and ridiculed.
Jia Xichun didn't care much. She had developed a withdrawn and indifferent temperament, and she also disliked Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.
What Jia Tanchun was thinking was: "He is really someone who can hold grudges, and he is also ruthless. However, even if he is like this, I... make me like him very much!"
When Jia Zheng, who was on duty at the Ministry of Industry, learned about this, he was stunned: "..."
…
…
On this morning, when Jia Yun sent Yu Wen, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, to Rongguo Mansion to issue an order, he also sent a group of Jinyi troops to Shanhaiguan.
Three days later, this group of Jinyi soldiers arrived at Shanhaiguan.
When Jia Zhen and Jia Rong learned that the Jinyi Army came to Shanhaiguan to look for them, they were both expecting and worried. Needless to say, they thought they might be merciful to them. However, they were worried that a group of Jinyi Army came and they were not interested in the Jinyi Army.
But I’m so scared!
And when the leading magistrate of Jinyi Mansion declared Jia Yun's will to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were stunned and trembled: "..."
After reacting, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong hurriedly sent people back to Rongguo Mansion to send a message, saying that they really did not want to be eunuchs and begged Jia's mother and Jia for pardon. Jia Zheng once again begged the emperor for mercy...
But this time, neither Jia Mu nor Jia Zheng begged for mercy anymore. The main reason was that Jia Mu didn't want to beg for mercy anymore. Jia Mu knew that the matter had come to this point, and further begging for mercy would not only be useless, but might offend Jia Yun, which would not only further aggravate the situation.
The punishment of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong may even involve the Rongguo Mansion.
In any case, in Jia Mu's heart, the most important and most important thing is Rongguo Mansion.
As for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, when Jia Mu wanted to come, although they both became eunuchs, fortunately they could return to the capital. In the future, they could live in Shenjing City, frequent Rongguo Mansion, and even serve the imperial court once.
Chance……
The chief officer of Jinyi Prefecture ordered people to deal with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong. After announcing his decree, he took the two of them into prison, escorted them away from Shanhaiguan, and escorted them to Shenjing City.
Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, who had been looking forward to another plea from the Rongguo Mansion along the way, were disappointed this time. When they were escorted into the ceremony room, they were both in despair, their faces turned pale, and their whole bodies were shaking.
Immediately afterwards, two bursts of shrill screams came from the minister's room...
After becoming eunuchs, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were freed. The carriage arranged by Rongguo Mansion took them to Rongguo Mansion, and they were immediately carried into Jia Mu's Courtyard.
At this time, many people gathered in Rongqing Hall, including Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, etc.
Originally, Jia Baoyu and Tanchun wanted to come and have a look. After all, they hadn't seen Jia Zhen and Jia Rong for a long time, and they were also curious. However, Jia Mu stopped them. Two people who have just become eunuchs, what are you guys and sisters looking at?
Look!
"Old lady, I...I am so ashamed of my ancestors!"
The first thing Jia Zhen said was a shrill scream.
"Old lady, I...I feel like I would rather die than live right now!"
Jia Rong then screamed loudly.
The two of them looked both miserable and funny, so much so that Mrs. Xing, who was sitting in the hall, almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Not only did Mrs. Xing find it funny, but Wang Xifeng also found it funny, as did Ping'er, Yuanyang, Lin Zhixiao's maids, daughters-in-law, and other maids and wives.
The fate of the two people had already made Jia Mu feel degrading. Now that she saw the two people being so miserable and funny, Jia Mu felt even more degrading, so she asked Ping'er, Lin Zhixiao's family and others to leave, leaving only people in the hall.
A few masters and Yuanyang were left behind.
Jia Mu then said: "It is indeed unfortunate that you two have fallen into this situation. Fortunately, at least you have come back alive. I have prepared a house for you near our house, and I have also prepared a house for you."
Three thousand taels of silver, you should live a good life from now on, I just hope you won't do anything wrong again, and you should also take care of Jingshan's errands, so don't neglect it."
Jia Zhen heard this and glanced at Jia Rong. Jia Rong understood and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, my father and I want to honor you in the future, and we also want to help with the affairs of the Xifu. Please ask the emperor for help.
Love, spare us the errand of Jingshan."
It was miserable enough for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong to become eunuchs. They didn't want to go to Jingshan to work as eunuchs. What they thought was that even if they became eunuchs, they should no longer be as shameless as before, but they should be as comfortable and wealthy as before.
Honor is the key. Going to Jingshan to work as an errand is so despicable and tiring!
