Three hundred and twenty-eight: drunken life and dream of death
As they are about to leave Shenjing for Jiubian, Qingfeng has just received news that the transfer order from the Fifth Army Governor's Office has been issued to the Yulin Army, and they are urging them very urgently. It is estimated that they will have to leave Beijing and go to Jiubian less than a year ago!
At this juncture, Ye Shi, the always calm "strategist", collapsed and fell ill in bed. He spent the whole day writing incomprehensible things in cursive, and he looked like he was in a daze.
What about Jia Jing? She also locked herself in Tianxiang Tower, and seemed to have moved out all Jia Zhen’s wine collection. Anyone who passed near Tianxiang Tower had to cover their noses! Otherwise, just smelling the smell would cause them to fall to the ground drunk!
Qin Keqing moved out of Tianxiang Tower in a hurry after Sanjie You said it last time. I don’t know if it was to show respect for You or to avoid suspicion. After all, most people now know that there is a secret passage in Tianxiang Tower.
.....
Therefore, Jia Jing was completely unattended in Tianxiang Tower these days. Qingfeng and others were very worried, but without Jia Jing's order, none of them dared to break into Tianxiang Tower.
The Jia sisters didn't see Jia Jing for a long time, and they all thought that Jia Jing was too busy, so they didn't bother her. Daiyu wanted to avoid Jia Jing these two days, and no one looked at Daiyu's head.
I can’t help but be jealous of the few palace flowers on it!
Even the sisters and Wang Xifeng couldn't help but say a few sour words. If there is such a man, who can go to the palace and ask for something from the emperor because of your little temper, it will be worth dying!
Although Daiyu looked dismissive and responded to everyone with full fighting spirit, she was actually secretly happy in her heart.
But at the same time, she is also very shy. In the past two days, the gossip between her and Jia Jing has been spread in the house. Although Daiyu said on the surface that she was tired of those people gossiping about her wife, she was actually very shy, so she was not very embarrassed to see her.
Jia Jing.
However, this matter was soon suppressed by another incident within the Jia family, that is, there were rumors that the eldest girl who entered the palace as a child seemed to be favored by the emperor and was to be assigned to Prince Li Gang of the Valley as his concubine!
This was a big deal, and she was the princess! So everyone in the Jia family immediately forgot about this tidbit of news about Jia Jing and Daiyu.
But after all, it was just a rumor. Even if the Jia family sent people to inquire, they could not find out the news. Originally, Mrs. Wang wanted to call Jia Jing and ask him to inquire.
But Mother Jia has obviously heard that Jia Jing seems to be a little busy recently, and no one can be seen when she is busy. Moreover, it is almost the Chinese New Year, and it is not easy to work, so Jia Jing keeps running around.
So this matter has been dragging on like this half-deadly, dragging Mrs. Wang to the point where she doesn’t even think about food and drinks, and is almost sick from worry!
Baoyu doesn't care much about this matter. He has been very comfortable recently, and his life has become more and more comfortable. Just because Jia Jing is not here, the sisters have often been naughty with him recently.
This makes Baoyu so happy! He hasn't done this for a long time. Especially when Jia Jing was idle a few days ago, the sisters seemed to be surrounding Jia Jing. Today I will go to tomorrow
Son, you go, or we all go together, there seems to be a tacit understanding!
Now, Jia Jing is busy, and I am a good brother to my sisters again! Especially since Daiyu seems to have "changed her mind" recently!
I don’t know when, but there seemed to be a barrier between Daiyu and Baoyu. No matter how close they were, there was always a layer of separation between them. But in recent days, it seems that this barrier has suddenly disappeared! The two of them have recovered again. The kind of childhood sweethearts!
This is what makes Baoyu the most happy recently! Going to Sister Bao's place today and Sister Lin's place tomorrow is really busy for Baoyu, but he can withstand it! The more worries about happiness, the better!
But it was obviously not going to work today, because his father came, and Jia Lian and the two of them burst in happily. Everyone was talking. When Baoyu saw this, he was so frightened that he did not dare to smile playfully with Daiyu, so he stood up hurriedly.
Jia Zheng had no intention of talking to Baoyu today, which made Baoyu secretly relieved. Jia's mother couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you here like a chicken, if you don't go and cheer yourself up?"
Jia Zheng was an official or a family member, so he had to be a little reserved, so he nodded to Jia Lian with a smile.
Jia Lian bowed in response, then knelt on the ground and said, "To the old lady, happy event! What a great happy event!"
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang already had some clues in their minds. Jia Mu quickly said seriously: "Is there any news?" Jia Lian nodded with a smile and proudly shouted: "The imperial edict just issued today, our eldest sister, sealed Princess Gu! She’s going to get married before the end of the year!”
The Rongqing Hall exploded instantly. Mrs. Wang was so excited that she almost cried. Mother Jia even cried with joy and shouted: "Okay! Okay!"
Jia Zheng cleared his throat at the side and said with a steady look: "More than that, I heard that King Gu is now very favored by His Majesty. Recently, he has personally taken care of him and taught him. I am afraid that it is very likely that he will come to Dabao in the future! "
Everyone seems to be so overwhelmed with joy today that they don’t know what to say. King Gu is expected to ascend to Dabao. Doesn’t that mean Yuanchun is the Queen of the Middle Palace?! Our Jia family will become descendants?!
Aunt Xue also felt a sense of sourness in her heart, thinking that if Baochai could enter the palace, we might not be the ones laughing here right now, but she could only think about this in her heart, and she still had to smile and congratulate the old lady and Mrs. Wang.
Since I can no longer become a concubine and queen, it is only right to hug the Jia family's thighs tightly! If the Jia family becomes a descendant, Baoyu will soon become the uncle of the country? How can he still escape the glory and wealth in his life?
Aunt Xue thought about Baochai and Baoyu's affairs more seriously. In her opinion, although Jia Jing was also very good, she was alone after all. Moreover, she was still young and her title was not very high. She was just fooling around. It's okay, the Xue family really doesn't necessarily like it...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What’s more, after offending so many people outside, it is still a bit unsettling, so in the final analysis, Baoyu, who knows everything and can control it, is more in line with Aunt Xue’s thoughts!
The sisters didn't think much about it, but they were happy for Yuanchun. In their opinion, for a woman to be able to become a princess is already considered extremely honorable and "a minister of the highest position"!
So although most of them have no impression of Yuanchun, they are still willing to wish Yuanchun.
Everyone was happy for a while, and Jia Mu announced the banquet with a wave of her hand. Today she is the host and wants to invite everyone from the two houses to have a good time!
Wang Xifeng was embarrassed when she heard this. She said in an obscure way: "It is definitely no problem to invite the eldest sister-in-law and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law. The old lady is too late to be happy to see them. It's just that the second brother is afraid... It’s a little difficult.”
Hearing this, Jia Mu said unhappily: "Today is such a big happy event for our family, how can he not come forward? I don't believe he won't give this honor to the old lady, go and invite it yourself!"
Wang Xifeng heard the words and said with a smile: "I have to invite him to dinner! The old lady really spoils him!" Jia Mu heard the words and said with a smile: "If you can earn me an uncle, I will treat you too!"
Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "Don't look forward to me! I'm still looking forward to Lian'er!" Jia Lian smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. He could earn a lot of money!
So Wang Xifeng went away with a smile, and everyone continued to joke. Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng came back alone after a while.
Jia Mu was a little unhappy, so she said: "He is so famous now? He can't even invite the old lady!"
Wang Xifeng smiled awkwardly, and then glanced at Daiyu strangely. She thought that Jia Jing was acting like this because Daiyu was reprimanded in the palace, but she couldn't say that, otherwise something big would really happen today. !Will Daiyu still be alive in the future?
So Wang Xifeng could only make up a lie and said: "I really can't invite you. The people under the second brother are all there. It is said that the second brother has not been out of Tianxiang Tower for several days and said that he suffered some grievances outside." , I locked myself in Tianxiang Tower when I came back."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Daiyu and Baochai even turned slightly pale. Mother Jia said anxiously: "How could this be? How could this be so?"
Why did Wang Xifeng say: "I went to see it myself, and I could smell the smell of alcohol from a long distance away. Didn't the second brother lock himself in Tianxiang Tower and drink alcohol for so many days?"
Everyone was even more panicked when they heard this. How angry did they have to be to do this? Daiyu shed tears directly, and Tanchun on the side quickly comforted her.
Mother Jia sighed in pain and said: "What evil have I done! I won't stop for a moment! For your Jia family, I really want to break my heart!"
Mrs. Wang didn't pay much attention to it. She had now entered the role and felt that she was the queen's biological mother, so she inevitably said with some pride: "Since the old lady is worried, why don't we go and take a look together."
After hearing this, Jia Mu stood up quickly and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! Go to Dongfu quickly! My grandson! Why are you so miserable! As long as there is someone to help you, it won't be like this!"
Jia Lian was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly went out to prepare the sedan chair. Everyone went to Ningguo Mansion from Jiaomen and went straight to Tianxiang Tower.
Qingfeng and others were obviously not in a very good mental state at this time. They were mainly worried about Jia Jing's condition, so almost everyone stayed outside Tianxiang Tower.
They were very worried about Jia Jing, but none of them could take action and could only rely on Jia Jing to survive on her own. They desperately hoped that Jia Jing would run out in high spirits and continue to give them orders as usual!
That kind of unwavering confidence and majesty was the reason why they followed Jia Jing until death! But the time passed by day by day in disappointment.
In fact, it is also very difficult for them. People who lose their faith suffer more than anyone else. They are probably like this now, gradually losing their confidence and belief in Jia Jing. If Jia Jing cannot come out, then they will most likely also.
Will choose to perish........
Even so, when Jia Mu and others arrived, they still managed to say hello. Seeing that there were so many people guarding Tianxiang Tower all the time, Jia Mu and others could not help but respect these people and did not abandon them at this time.
Loyalty that never gives up is rare and valuable.
So Jia Mu also nodded to them, then looked at the closed Tianxiang Tower with a stern face, and said in a deep voice: "Open the door for me!"
Qingfeng and others became more energetic. They hoped that the arrival of Jia Mu and others would stimulate Jia Jing's fighting spirit, so Qingfeng quickly asked someone to open the door of Tianxiang Tower with her eyes shining.
As soon as the door opened, there was a strong smell of wine that hit her nostrils, which even made Daiyu almost vomit. Jia Mu and others retreated for a while, waiting for most of the smell of wine to dissipate before entering.
As soon as they entered the dark room, Jia Mu called Jia Jing, but no one responded. Jia Mu calmly ordered someone to open the window and light a candle.
Wang Xifeng quickly followed the instructions, and then everyone walked towards the second floor. Obviously Jia Jing was not on the first floor.
The view was a little better after entering the second floor, but the floor was full of swaying wine jars, glasses and other things, and there was nowhere to go!
Everyone looked towards the railing, only to see Jia Jing sleeping soundly leaning against a pillar, with her unkempt hair scattered randomly covering her entire face. She was still wearing the moon-white gold-woven chrysanthemum arrow sleeves.
It just became full of oil and dirt.
One leg was pressed under the other leg, with his head lowered and leaning against the pillar, and he would make one or two moans from time to time.
Everyone was filled with emotion when they saw Jia Jing at this time. Daiyu and others secretly wept, and Jia Mu even cried out in distress: "Jing'er! You, why are you suffering like this!"
Jia Jing seemed to feel someone around her, so she groaned, but the first thing she did was to reach out to look for some wine. After Jia Mu called out again, Jia Jing finally reacted and raised her head with a groan.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Still drunk, he raised his head, Tan Chun couldn't help but exclaimed, Baochai turned his head heartbrokenly, and saw Jia Jing
The eyes that were originally shining were now cloudy and completely devoid of the brilliance they once had. It was heartbreaking to see!
Xichun held her mouth shut and couldn't bear it anymore. She broke away from Yingchun and threw herself into Jia Jing's arms. She hugged Jia Jing's neck and cried loudly: "Brother! What's wrong with you? Brother!"
Jia Jing looked away from Xichun in a daze and said, "Who is your brother? Who are you..." After seeing Xichun's small face with a small mouth and big eyes filled with tears, Jia Jing smiled.
He pinched Xichun's little face with both hands and said with a smile: "Oh! So it's my sister! Haha! Oh! Xichun! Give me a kiss from my brother!"
Saying this, he didn't care about Xichun's crying little face, and went to the bar to take a sip. Although Xichun was overtaken by the smell of Jia Jing's wine, he still cried and hugged Jia Jing.
Jia Jing immediately said seriously: "Don't cry! Brother likes to see you smile, laugh!" Xichun held back her tears and forced herself to show an unattractive fake smile. Jia Jing laughed, hugged Xichun and let out a sip.
"Don't cry, brother, you are the only one left..."
Xichun couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears. Mother Jia also cried and shouted: "Jing'er!"
Only then did Jia Jing notice everyone, she raised her head with a smile, let go of Xichun, and stood up tremblingly. Seeing this, Jia Lian quickly stepped forward to support him: "Second brother, slow down!"
Jia Jing looked at Jia Lian hazily, then giggled, patted Jia Lian on the shoulder and said: "Second brother!"
Jia Lian forced a smile. Jia Jing stepped forward and hugged Jia Lian and said, "Second brother, why are you so unhappy? Tell me! Who doesn't agree with you? Tell your brother! My brother is taking it out on you!"
Jia Lian forced a smile and said: "No one, no one!" Jia Jing put her arms around Jia Lian's shoulders and leaned on his shoulders and said: "Second brother, I remember, I remember that when Brother Zhu was here, the three of us went to see my husband.
You, you are just like my brother!"
Jia Lian nodded silently, Jia Jing pursed her lips and choked: "But, why am I alone?" Jia Lian's nose suddenly felt sore, and she quickly held back and said: "Brother is here, isn't it? Second brother, take care of yourself.
My body, the days ahead are still long!"
When everyone heard this, they were even more sad. They inevitably thought of Jia Jing's pity for being alone in a separate branch. Li Wan even cried when he thought of his late husband.
Jia Jing nodded aggrievedly, then looked around confusedly, smiled and threw herself into Wang Xifeng's arms. Wang Xifeng quickly stopped him and said with a slight blush: "Jing'er!"
Jia Jing said with a smile: "I have wronged my second sister-in-law all these years! The men in our Jia family are not capable, but our daughters are all arrogant!"
As soon as this sentence came out, even Wang Xifeng's eyes turned red and said: "Hey! Why are you talking about this! Aren't we all one family?"
Jia Jing smiled and nodded, then pulled Baoyu aside who was sighing and sighing. Baoyu was still a little confused at first, but he didn't dare to let go, so he could only let Jia Jing pull him to his side.
Smelling the smell of alcohol on Jia Jing's body, Baoyu almost vomited it out. Fortunately, the second brother was pretty good-looking, so Baoyu managed to hold on, but also held his breath and forced a smile.
Jia Jing smiled and said: "Baoyu is so old..." Baoyu smiled reluctantly, Jia Jing patted Baoyu on the shoulder and said: "When you are old, you should do what adults should do!
Stop being so childish!"
Baoyu nodded silently, and Jia Jing said: "You should think about the love and hope your parents and old lady have for you. How will you provide for the elderly in the future? How will you support your own home!"
Baoyu was silent, but Mrs. Wang was a little reluctant. She would naturally plan Baoyu's future, so where was Jia Jing's turn to speak?
However, Mrs. Wang would not jump out and say anything at this time. She is not Mrs. Xing, so her emotional intelligence would be too low!
Then he looked at Jia Mu and smiled, stepped forward to hold Jia Mu's hand and said, "Ancestor!" Jia Mu was so distressed that she almost fainted from crying. Hearing this, she quickly grabbed Jia Jing's hand and said, "Jing'er, are you okay?
You have to... do well! My ancestors can't live without you!"
Jia Jing smiled and nodded and said: "Jing'er still has to serve you! Jing'er built such a big garden for you! Let me tell you! It's better than any garden in the world! Once it's built, you'll always be there
If you take care of yourself there, you'll be sure to live to be a thousand years old!"
When everyone heard this, they burst into tears and laughed. Mother Jia quickly said: "Okay, okay! As long as you are good, our ancestors will be fine no matter what! If you have any grievances, just come to our ancestors. We are all one family!"
Jia Jing staggered and said, "What can I do..."
