As soon as they heard that Master Jia Zheng had been scolded by someone sent by the emperor, and that he had to "repent for three months behind closed doors, and then hand it over to the ministry for discussion", all the Qing Dynasties who were originally waiting in Mengpozhai study
Everyone’s expression changed when the guests arrived.
Zhan Guang was the cleverest and said immediately:
"Oh, to tell you the truth, today is my father's 10th anniversary, and filial piety comes first. I have to go back early to pay my respects. I have no choice but to take a step forward and say goodbye."
After that, he cupped his fists and bowed to everyone, and walked out.
Shan Pinren didn't hesitate to make more concessions, and quickly got up and ran away:
"My family has given birth to a baby today, so I have to go back and take care of it. We will meet again the next day and say goodbye."
The rest of the people also woke up and made up excuses one after another, and soon they all dispersed like birds and beasts.
.
Lai Da also heard the news and rushed in to tell Jia Mu that the situation was urgent and volunteered to go out to inquire about the news.
As soon as Jia Mu agreed, she immediately left the house and went straight to her home to discuss it with her mother. In a hurry, she hid all the money and valuables at home, preparing to leave Beijing at any time.
.
Even Aunt Xue Pan, who was far away in Lixiangyuan, got the message and quickly asked Baochai what to do. Baochai thought about it for a moment, then asked someone to go outside to find Xue Pan and then asked Ying'er to go to her godmother.
Keep asking for information, Mingyan is smart and will surely know many secrets.
After that, he said to Aunt Xue:
"Now that we know it, we should naturally take some precautions.
The first thing we have to do is not to let the mother-in-law and maids continue to talk about the 'good match'. At least we have to wait and see. If the Jia family loses power, then it's okay not to mention the 'good match'.
The second thing is that the gold and silver should be put away first. When my brother comes back, ask him to find a small house outside to prepare. If anything happens to the Jia family, we can leave as soon as we can.
The third thing is, mom needs to go see my aunt as soon as possible. Firstly, I want to inquire about the situation of the Jia family. Secondly, I want to comfort my aunt. Thirdly, I don’t want to make my aunt suspicious that we came here in case of an emergency.”
.
Everyone outside has a plan, and everyone in the house is panicked. It is inevitable that groups of three or five will gather together to discuss quietly.
At this time, the Hall of Rongxi was also filled with gloom and mist.
Mother Jia was worried and sighed.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang rushed in, standing on the left and right to comfort Jia Mu.
Jia Zheng was in a daze and motionless.
Uncharacteristically, Jia She not only did not stand on the bank to watch the excitement, but when he saw that Jia Zheng could not even sit upright, he stepped forward to support him and persuaded him:
"You don't have to worry too much. Our ancestors are taking care of you. It's no big deal."
.
"My lord!"
Everyone was startled by the cry and followed the sound.
But Aunt Zhao rushed in, ran straight to Jia Zheng, threw herself at Jia Zheng's legs and cried:
"Master, nothing can happen to you. We ladies are counting on you, master, my master..."
Everyone couldn't help but frown, and secretly cursed in their hearts:
The old man is not dead yet, why are you calling for mourning? This shabby Aunt Zhao didn’t even wink.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that "a key opens a lock, and a steel scale hangs a weight." Aunt Zhao's untimely cry made Jia Zheng, who was stunned, suddenly move his eyes.
Aunt Zhao didn't see it, she just hugged Jia Zheng's legs and bumped her head:
"My master, my God, please don't let anything happen to you. You can't die... If you die and abandon us, how will Huan'er and I live..."
Forget about others, when Jia Mu heard her words "dead" and "alive", she immediately became angry and spat:
"Where did you come from, you bastard wife with a rotten tongue? Who asked you to come here Hu Qin! He is still fine, but you screamed 'dead' and 'alive'. Are you in a hurry to curse him or something?" While pointing at Aunt Zhao and scolding her, she shed tears, but she didn't notice that Jia Zheng's eyes suddenly blinked twice.
Mrs. Wang has long disliked Aunt Zhao, but as the principal wife, she must have the bearing of the principal wife, otherwise her reputation as a virtuous wife will be damaged. Secondly, Jia Zheng dotes on Aunt Zhao very much, and this is a "rule".
"The nerd who can do such "irregular" things as asking Aunt Zhao to educate Jia Huan shows how much she loves him.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhao came from a humble background and was stupid, so she had no impact on Mrs. Wang's status, so she tolerated it.
At this time, she saw Aunt Zhao holding Jia Zheng and crying and shouting. No matter how unbearable Mrs. Wang was, she spat:
"What a shameless whore! Why are you calling for mourning here?
Who here is not worried about the master, but you dare to curse the master here, how can you do it?
From Zhou Rui's family, slap her mouth."
Zhou Rui's family responded quickly, came up and slapped Aunt Zhao on the face.
Aunt Zhao was beaten so hard that she covered her face with one hand and hugged Jia Zheng's leg with the other and cried:
"Master, save me! Master, save me!"
.
Jia Zheng's eyes looked at Aunt Zhao, whose hair was spread out after being beaten. He tried hard to open his mouth to speak, but his lips trembled and he could not make a sound.
Seeing that Jia Zheng didn't speak for her, Aunt Zhao hugged her even tighter:
"Master, how could I curse you... If you are here, I still have hope. Tomorrow, if you are gone, I won't even have a place to stand..."
Before she could finish her words, Jia Zheng fell down and hit Aunt Zhao.
This time, the whole room exclaimed:
"Master!"
"Call the doctor quickly!"
.
The people of the Jia family went to ask for the imperial doctor, and it was the imperial physician Bao who came.
When Jia's mother saw that the visitor was not Dr. Wang, a descendant of Wang Junxiao, the former head of the Imperial Hospital, she felt even more uncomfortable - was the Jia family really in trouble? The Imperial Hospital even refused to send Dr. Wang, who had always treated the old lady? Dr. Bao had ordinary medical skills and was a "licorice doctor" who loved adding licorice to his prescriptions. When he saw Jia Zheng's condition, he took his pulse and said:
"This is a stroke. I'll give it a few stitches to take a look."
After the acupuncture, Jia Zheng woke up. His mouth was not crooked or his eyes were slanted, but he was still unable to speak and half of his body could not move.
Dr. Bao said again:
"I'll prescribe a few more medicines here and take them to see the effect."
He spoke modestly, and everyone felt guilty after hearing it.
Can this cure the disease?
.
After Dr. Bao was politely sent away, Jia Mu came over and looked at Jia Zheng. Suddenly she said "my son" and burst into tears.
Even if Jia Mu is like this, everyone else has no idea.
It was said that Aunt Xue had come to visit, and when she heard Jia She said that she wanted to ask Master Zhang from Yuhuang Pavilion to ward off evil spirits, Aunt Xue said that it would be a good idea to ask Duan Gong to ward off evil spirits, and also said which talisman water from Wu Tiao Shen was very effective.<
/p>
There was a chaotic chatter here, and suddenly a clear and hearty female voice was heard:
"As the saying goes: 'It's better to have a bite of fresh peaches than a basket of rotten apricots'. This is true all over the world. Since you are looking for a doctor, you still have to ask Dr. Wang."
Everyone looked around and saw four wives, with the maid in front. A pretty maid with a beautiful face walked in, supporting a stunning beauty.
