While Baoyu was walking aimlessly and in despair outside Rongguo Mansion, wandering melancholy over and over again on the way to the Grand View Garden, he successfully bumped into the person he least wanted to bump into in his life...
Hearing the man shout "Stop!" Baoyu was startled, and when he looked up, it was none other than his good father whose legs trembled when he saw him!
Baoyu gasped unconsciously. His scalp was numb and he had to stand aside with his hands down. He was so uneasy that he wanted to run but didn't dare to run!
Jia Zheng looked Baoyu up and down, and then scolded him angrily: "You are so good, what are you doing by being downcast?"
Baoyu lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Jia Zheng then lectured again: "Just now Yucun came to see you, and it took you a long time to come out. Once you came out, you didn't talk at all in a healthy way, and you were still intimidating.
Wei Rui Rui!"
Jia Yucun had just paid a shameless visit. Although Jia Zheng already knew his face, he was envious of his writing and knowledge, so he thought there might be some misunderstanding, so he paid him a visit.
It was just that during the conversation between the two, Jia Yucun's words were all about trying to find out Jia Jing's intentions. Although Jia Zheng was pure and kind, he could hear it and didn't say much, so the two only chatted briefly.
Yucun took the initiative to say goodbye.
Jia Zheng thought about waiting for Jia Jing to come back and tell him about this matter. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to Rongqing Hall, he saw Baoyu walking around here with his head raised and sighing. He couldn't help but frowned and said: "I
Seeing that your face is full of thoughts and depression, and now you are coughing and sighing, you are not enough and you are not comfortable? There is no reason for this, but why? "
Although Baoyu was usually very eloquent, at this moment he was only focused on Daiyu's affairs, and there was no mess in his mind. Now that he saw his father say these words, he never heard them, and just stood there in a daze.
.
Jia Zheng saw that he was frightened, and his response was not as usual. He was originally calm, but now he was angry.
Just as Fang wanted to scold him, he heard someone coming in from the front and replying: "Someone is coming from Prince Zhongshun's residence and wants to see the master."
Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel doubtful after hearing this. He secretly thought that his family had no contact with the Zhongshun Palace in the past, so why did they send someone here today? Not only did the Jia family have no contact with the Zhongshun Palace in the past, it could even be said that they had.
There's an old grudge!
If an old relative hadn't made peace and secretly expressed the above intention, to be honest, the Jia family would not marry Prince Zhongshun even if Jia Baoyu died!
Because it was Prince Zhongshun Li Ji who came to seize the title of Jia Jianing Mansion! And he was very humiliating to the Jia family in his words! It was Li Ji who was hosted by Jia Zheng at that time, and he had no good impression of Prince Zhongshun Mansion!
Ning Rong and Ning Rong are in the same spirit and the family is one. The title of Ning Mansion was taken away, which was also a great impact on Rong Mansion. If there was no Jing brother later, the Jia family would soon be corrupted and declined at an extremely fast speed.
, disappeared from the circle of nobles in Shenjing!
But to be honest, the seizure of the title was not instigated by King Zhongshun. They just made a few remarks. Besides, Jia Jing also made trouble for him later, so when it comes to the real discussion, the Jia family has nothing to do with Prince Zhongshun.
The endless feud!
What's more, as one of the few distant relatives who had a particularly good relationship with Emperor Yongxi except for Prince Wenshun, the father of Princess Li Miaojin of Yangcheng, Prince Zhongshun's status was still very high! He was very respected by Emperor Yongxi in the clan!
Therefore, the Jia family thought over and over again and agreed to marry and reconcile with Prince Zhongshun. After all, it is better to dissolve enemies than to marry them. They are all working under His Majesty, so there is really no need to make the quarrel between them too ugly!
But even though they were married, except for the girls who walked around a few times, King Zhongshun himself, including the men who kept their word in the Jia family, Jia Jing, Jia Zheng, and Jia She had never interacted with each other.
Pass!
It's so good, why would King Zhongshun send someone to the door? Could it be that there are some fluctuations in Baoyu's marriage?
Jia Zheng became a little anxious when he thought about this. He quickly shouted: "Please come quickly!" and hurriedly came out to greet him!
When Fang came out to take a look, it was the chief historian of Prince Zhongshun who was looking around at the furnishings of Jia's house. Seeing this, Jia Zheng did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took him into the hall and sat down to offer tea.
Before talking about it, the chief historian said: "I am not here because I am good at building Tan Mansion. I am here because of the king's order. I have something to ask for. Looking at the prince, if you dare to trouble the old master to make the decision, not only
Your Majesty knows this, and even the lower officials are grateful."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't grasp his head. He just felt baffled, but he was also wary of the attitude of the loyal and shunned prince!
He quickly stood up with a smile and asked cautiously: "My lord has come here on the king's order, and I don't know what to say. I hope your lord will make it clear so that the students can comply with the order."
When the chief historian saw that Jia Zheng was weak, he immediately sneered and said: "There is no need to undertake it. I just need to say a word from your lord and it will be over."
Jia Zheng was said to be confused, but when he saw the chief minister looking like he was raising an army to accuse him, he was inevitably frightened and did not dare to speak.
The chief historian glanced at Jia Zheng and said with a sneer: "What happened is that there is an actor in our mansion who is a Xiaodan actor. In the past, the prince liked to call him Qiguan. He always stayed well in the mansion, but now he actually
He didn't go back for three to five days and looked for him everywhere, but he couldn't find his way, so he looked everywhere."
Jia Zheng seemed to have noticed something, and his face instantly became a little ugly. As expected, the chief historian then looked at Jia Zheng jokingly and said: "After asking about this, guess what? In this city, there are ten pavilions.
In fact, people in the Eight Pavilions say that he has been getting along very well with the prince in your mansion who was born with a jade in his head!"
Jia Zheng verified his thoughts, and his head suddenly banged! His whole body felt a little top-heavy, and his face even changed from blue to red!
The chief historian looked at Jia Zheng even more mockingly and said: "After hearing this, the lower officials said that your mansion is no better than other families in that you can gain access without permission. Moreover, the closest relationship between your mansion and ours is...
...Haha, so the lower officials did not dare to act rashly, so they enlightened the prince."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Zheng opened his mouth when he heard the words, and his old face was so ashamed that there was no place to put it! He couldn't even say a word!
The long historian stretched out the long nail on his little finger, picked up the tea leaves in a manly voice and said: "The prince also said: 'If there are other actors, just a hundred. After all, the relationship between our two families is here, so I gave this to myself.
It doesn't matter if he is a good son-in-law! It's just that this Qiguan responds randomly, is cautious and sincere, and is very much in line with my old man's heart. I can't find such a person.' Therefore, I ask the old man to tell you, please put Qiguan back, which will be a comfort.
If the prince is sincere and sincere, the lower officials will be spared the pain of searching for something."
After saying that, he actually bowed as if begging, but the smile on his face was as sarcastic as it could be! Jia Zheng didn't even dare to look at it!
What kind of talk is this! The son-in-law is playing an actor and playing an actor with his father-in-law! This... This is simply a huge joke and scandal!
Just based on this, Jia Baoyu is still the princess, and if he can find a wife with sound limbs and not crazy or stupid, it will be considered as the ancestral grave of the Second Duke Ning Rong exploded!
But what Jia Zheng is thinking about now is not whether Jia Baoyu can marry. This is a small problem! Jia Zheng comes from a family that has written poems and books. If this scandal spreads, the reputation of the Jia family can be said to be bad.
On the street!
Your children are playing opera to the point where you are playing with your father-in-law! What is the difference between this and gathering with your father-in-law? You are still gathering with your own father-in-law! If people find out about this, will they laugh out loud?
There have never been secrets in the circle of nobles, not to mention that almost everyone is paying attention to the marriage between Prince Zhongshun and the Jia family. Prince Zhongshun formally asked his father Shi to ask for someone in such a high-profile manner. You don’t need to think about it to know that there is no way to hide what happened today.
live!
As the prince's assistant, Chang Shi can be said to be the person with the highest official position around the prince! How high is the official position? When the prince breaks the law, he is usually the one to take the blame...
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang always valued family ties the most and doted on his sons. Therefore, there were quite a few princes who were indifferent to human affairs. Usually when it was revealed, it was this long history who took the blame and took the blame.
The prince is punished!
Because Chang Shi himself plays the role of assisting and teaching Prince Zuo. It can even be said that the normal operation of the entire palace requires Chang Shi to control it!
So King Zhongshun sent his chief historian to Jia's house to talk about this matter. It can be said that he questioned him in a very formal way! At first, Jia Zheng even thought that it was so formal to discuss the marriage!
Therefore, at this time, they were humiliated openly and secretly by the chief minister of Prince Zhongshun. Thinking of the fact that the Jia family was slapped in the face again today in front of Manshenjing! They had to endure the humiliation and apologize to others...
Jia Zheng was suddenly filled with anger, surprised and angry! On the one hand, he showed it to King Zhongshun, and on the other hand, he was really angry. He slapped the table gum and ordered Baoyu to be called!
Baoyu originally thought that he had escaped. Although he was a little curious about what Prince Zhongshun was doing, he prayed in his heart that it would be best if someone came to break off the engagement! Although he knew it was impossible, he was still holding on to some illusions.
How did he know that he really expected it! His wish actually came true! If this matter spreads out, King Zhongshun and the Jia family will still get married! It’s a good thing if they don’t become enemies again!
Baoyu didn't know that what he said was a prophecy. When he hurried over, he felt as if he had been poured cold water on his head!
When Jia Zheng saw him coming, he slapped the table and asked angrily: "Damn slave! It's just that you don't study at home, why do you do these lawless things again!"
Baoyu was immediately startled. He was thinking hurriedly in his heart whether he had done anything wrong recently, but he couldn't figure out what he had been doing in the recent period besides worrying at home. Didn't even do it!
Therefore, Baoyu said aggrievedly: "What does the master mean by this? My son really doesn't understand, because the master has said it before. Recently, my son has been studying at home honestly..."
Jia Zheng couldn't help but get even angrier when he mentioned this. After getting engaged, Jia Zheng thought that Jia Baoyu had grown up and taught him a lot. It probably meant that when he got married, he would be a man and his father would never beat or scold you again. , but you also have to remember that you should always examine yourself, especially during the period before getting married, be honest, and don't run around and cause trouble...
Who would have thought that instead of causing trouble at home, you would cause trouble at your father-in-law's house!
Seeing Baoyu say this at this time, Jia Zheng felt that it was Baoyu who was lying to cover it up. He couldn't help but get even more angry. He even asked: "How dare you quibble? I ask you! That Qi official is now served by Prince Zhongshun." Man, how careless you are, luring him out for no reason, and now it's brought disaster upon me!"
】
Baoyu was shocked when he heard this! His face turned pale, and cold sweat fell down!
But it turned out that when we were drinking together before, we talked about Baoyu's engagement, and they all said that they were all grown up now, and even Baoyu was about to get married, which would suit everyone's future and career!
Feng Ziying said that his father, General Shenwu Feng Tang, had already found him a job as a gatekeeper in the Forbidden City. Wei Ruolan also said that after Baoyu got married, he would also leave for Xuanfu to join his father. His father found him a military position in the Xuanfu, and Chen Yejun and others all had their own careers.
There was a moment of melancholy and sadness, a feeling that the feast was about to end, youth was gone, and friends were far away from home. At this time, Qiguan also smiled softly as usual and talked about his imagination and future.
In this atmosphere, everyone had a little drink, and it was inevitable that they would get a little emotional, so Qi Guan talked about the bitter things that he had never mentioned to anyone before, how difficult it was to be in the palace, and how he served people with a smile. I can't help but talk about the cold eyes and ridicule of the world......
Everyone started to cry. Qi Guan also talked about his future. He only hoped to have a house far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, where he could have three friends, plant flowers and play the piano, and never go out again...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone has drunk a little too much, and coupled with the fact that my friend is so honest and sad, it is inevitable that there will be some confession!
They all toasted to celebrate together. Although they didn't say it clearly, they almost always had the intention of encouraging Jiang Yuhan. Among them, it seemed that he took advantage of being drunk and unhappy to say a few words...
Now that his memory was clear, Baoyu also knew that Jiang Yuhan probably really escaped from Prince Zhongshun's palace! So he was shocked and felt uneasy!
After thinking about it for a while, he quickly replied: "Master Mingjian, my son, my son really doesn't know about this... After all, he doesn't even know what the word 'Qiguan' is, so how can he add the word 'Liaodou'!"
Baoyu said, knowing that the matter was serious, and started to cry. Before Jia Zheng could ask questions, the chief historian sneered and said: "Young master, there is no need to hide it, or hide it at home, or know his whereabouts.
If you tell us, we will suffer less hardship, so why don't you remember the virtues of a young master?"
Jia Zheng's heart was full of shame, but he knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything more. When Baoyu saw that his father didn't support him, he was even more frightened and overwhelmed!
But after all, I was thinking that I was a good friend who was trusting me. I had already said what I said, so how could I betray him? Therefore, although I was scared, I still didn’t even say I didn’t know. I sobbed hesitantly: “I’m afraid it’s a rumor, but I don’t know.
"
When the chief historian heard this, he sneered and said: "Why rely on the existing evidence? I must have said it in front of the boss. Wouldn't the young master suffer a loss? Since I don't know this person, how did the red sweat scarf reach the young master's waist?
inside?"
When Baoyu heard these words, his mind suddenly rang like a bell, and his three souls were frightened to death! He was so shocked that he was stunned!
This matter can be said to be extremely private. Just when I got the drinking order from Yun'er last time, the two of them drank too much and went out to change clothes. They chatted for a few words on the way. They chatted with each other and couldn't help but feel sorry for each other. Jiang Yuhan was
I gave this sweat scarf to the princess of Xiluo Kingdom as a gift!
Even Xue Pan and others who were drinking together didn't know about such a private matter. How come this Chang Shi now clearly revealed the color?
Baoyu was shocked and doubtful for a moment, but he thought to himself: "How did he know this? Since he even knew such a confidential matter, there was probably nothing else he could do to hide it from him. It would be better to send him away quickly to avoid this.
If you tell me other things and let the master know about it, wouldn't it be painful?"
Therefore, Baoyu no longer resisted, lowered his head and sobbed softly: "Since you know his details, how come you don't even know about such a big thing as buying a house?"
When Jia Zheng heard this, he looked at Baoyu with wide eyes. Chang Shi also glanced at Jia Zheng, and then looked like he was listening attentively.
Baoyu just muttered: "I heard that he now has some kind of red sandalwood castle in the eastern suburbs, twenty miles away from the city. He has built several acres of fields and several houses there... I don't know where it is."
After hearing this, the chief historian high-fived and said with a smile: "That means it must be there. I'll go look for it. If I find it, I'll let it go. If not, I'll come and ask for advice."
After saying that, he stood up and glanced at Jia Zhengbaoyu and his son with a half-smiling look. The one who looked up to the sky and laughed loudly walked out the door!
Jia Zheng was so angry that he was stunned. While sending the long historian away, he turned around and scolded Baoyu: "Don't move! I'll ask you something when I get back!"
With that said, he sent the official straight away...
After Jia Zheng cried and told what happened, the Rongqing Hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone's expressions were a little strange. Even Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable...
Jia Mu's face was even more complicated. She turned around and glanced at Baoyu on the bed behind her. Although her body was still covered in scars, Jia Mu was a little less kind.
This... doesn't seem to be a particularly heavy blow...
The sisters of the Jia family also looked at Baoyu on the bed with some mixed emotions. In their impression, Baoyu was not like this, and they did not want Baoyu to become like this, but... the fact is, how could Baoyu become like this!
If playing an opera with the father-in-law is considered a manly affair, and a child who is ignorant and mistakenly makes bad friends is led astray, then Qiguan trusts you so much that he told you his address.
