Chapter 16 Who is Bai Xue attending the funeral for?
Jia Mu didn’t know what had happened, and was in a panic. However, after all, she had experienced a lot and was always cautious. She felt that this matter should not be known to others, so she sent everyone in the room away, leaving only Yuanyang.
.
Not long after, the little girl led in a little eunuch of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Mother Jia had never seen the little eunuch before, but when she saw that there was still unmelted snow on the little eunuch's shoulders, her face was full of panic, and her heart sank, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He quickly ordered the little girl to go out and told her:
"Go and tell Lai Da's family and ask her to guard at the gate of the courtyard. Everyone should leave my courtyard. Anyone who enters the courtyard without being summoned will be beaten to death."
The little maid hurriedly responded and went out.
Seeing that there was no one else around, the little eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Mu. Without even having time to stand up, he said:
"The servant is the little eunuch from the cleaning department, and his name is not worth mentioning. It's just because I have received favors from the female historian Aunt Jia. Today she suddenly came to me to beg me, saying that the Jia family is afraid of a disaster."
As he spoke, he took out a guqin-shaped fan cover from his arms and held it to Jia Mu with both hands.
"Aunt Jia said that as soon as the old lady sees this, she will know that what the servant said must be credible."
Jia Mu took the fan cover and recognized that it was something that Yuanchun had learned to make from her before entering the palace. There were several embroidery stitches on it that she had personally instructed. Yuanchun loved this item very much, and when he left for the palace, he once
Crying to Jia Mu:
"As soon as the palace gate was as deep as the sea, I was afraid that we might not see each other again in this life, so my granddaughter only took this fan cover with her. When she missed her grandmother, she took it out and looked at it, as if she was still with her."<
/p>
Since she attaches so much importance to this thing, and now she hastily handed it over to a young eunuch to bring it out, she must have encountered something more serious than "not being allowed to meet".
Jia Mu's hands shook and she said quickly:
"What the young father-in-law says must be credible, but please say it clearly."
The little eunuch became more and more panicked, and his hands were shaking slightly:
"Aunt Jia said that she heard that the Jia family used coffin boards for rebellion, which violated the taboos of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. She heard that the Jia family had disobedient intentions... As soon as the coffin was put into the ground, it was... it was destroyed.
time."
"Ouch!"
As soon as Jia Mu covered her heart, her face suddenly changed, and cold sweat dripped down her face.
Yuanyang was listening and was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper and his hands were trembling. But when he saw Jia Mu's bad face, he didn't care about himself. He quickly took out the medicinal oil and applied it to Jia Mu:
"Old lady, don't be too anxious. The whole family is still counting on the old lady."
Mother Jia closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. She finally regained her composure, turned around and asked Yuanyang to help her up, and was about to kneel down in front of the little eunuch. The little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down and said:
"This slave is here to repay Aunt Jia's kindness. The old lady must not shorten my life."
Jia Mu hurriedly ordered Yuanyang to come out with two thousand taels of silver notes. The dead piston was in the hands of the young eunuch:
"My young father-in-law is unforgettable for his great kindness to the Jia family. A little money is just a token of my gratitude.
When the Jia family survives this calamity, it will be necessary to thank my young father-in-law profusely."
The young father-in-law couldn't resist Jia Mu, so he had to collect the banknote and hurried off.
.
Jia Mu lowered her head and thought to herself, today is the funeral of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law in the Ningguo Mansion. If the emperor in the palace knew so much, he must have already been in charge of the Jia family. The matter is serious and I'm afraid it will cause serious trouble.
I called Yuanyang to ask, and then asked Lai's wife, but no one knew what kind of coffin Rong's daughter-in-law used in Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Mu only felt that the words "coffin board of rebellion" were like an iron hoop, which was so tight that she had a splitting headache, dizziness, and her heart was beating so hard and slow that she almost fainted.
But at this time, the whole family was endangered, so Jia Mu could only grit her teeth and tell Yuanyang to quickly prepare the car and brave the heavy snow to catch up with the funeral vehicle no matter what.
.
Besides, the Ning Mansion funeral was grand and majestic, winding like a silver mountain from the north, with the suona playing heartbreakingly and the tinkling of the rattles incessantly.
Everyone was immersed in this magnificent and luxurious funeral, when suddenly, they heard a loud shout:
"Stop! Don't move forward!"
Everyone was shocked - what... what happened? There are still robbers who dare to rob the funeral?
Almost everyone looked at the source of the sound at the same time.
Through the heavy snow that was flying all over the sky, I could see a man and a horse standing proudly in the middle of the snow-covered road, blocking the path of Ning Mansion's funeral procession.
Blocked by the wind and snow, everyone could not see the face of the visitor for a while, but they saw that he was riding a pure white tall horse that shone like silver. His long lion-like mane and tail were rolled up by the wind, like a legendary Pegasus.
As the horse broke through the snowy sky step by step and stepped closer step by step, people gradually saw clearly that the person sitting immediately was wearing white satin arrow sleeves, a white jade and silver belt around his waist, and a white satin turban. He is a handsome young man with a heroic appearance, full of nobility, awe-inspiring expression, and a solemn appearance. He is like a descendant from heaven, making people almost unconsciously lower their heads in front of him.
The person coming is none other than Jia Lian.
He rode the Zhaoye Snow Lion, decisively stopped the long funeral procession, faced everyone, and came in the opposite direction.
.
At this moment, Jia Lian, who is riding on the white horse, is the lone Zhao Zilong who has entered the enemy's army. He has no one to rely on and only relies on his lone bravery.
He has already stepped onto this gambling table, and there is no possibility of looking back.
He rode the BMW that he had won a bet with to jump over the two-foot-deep ditch, and walked step by step towards the coffin containing Ruizhu's body, preparing to throw his biggest chip so far.
This is a big gamble.
Winning is shocking.
If you lose, your family will be ruined.
Are you afraid?
I must be scared!
After all, it’s the first time I’ve made such a big bet.
Jia Lian is really not sure he can win.
But Jia Lian is sure that he will not regret it.
No matter whether I lose or win this time, I have no regrets.
Perhaps it was just because of the white horse that he longed for a hero - a hero like Zhao Zilong with a white horse and a silver spear.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been forced to do this.
With no power, no status, no way to run the family, and no way to take charge of affairs, he was completely unable to restore the Jia family's defeat. And he was neither willing to perish with them, nor could he bear to abandon the whole family and run away alone.
Killing decisively is not ruthless and unjust because you only care about your own pleasure. Only people who have no ability and no sense of responsibility love to shout "You are not living happily, I look down on you."
Bullshit!
How do I choose and how do I behave so that you can respect me?
You really take yourself seriously!
You deserve it too!
.
Jia Lian looked ahead and walked backwards step by step. Suddenly, he felt something strange, so he glanced at the crowd of onlookers and saw someone in a small tea shop on the roadside nodding to him. Master Shi!
.
At this moment, Jia Zhen, whose face turned green with anger, caught up on horseback and shouted at Jia Lian:
"What are you going to do!"
(Jia Lian: I'm not drunk. You can't rely on drinking to strengthen your courage.
If you don’t like my approach, you can go on your own without saying goodbye to me.
I just do it if I want to, and I will never regret it.)
