Since Bai Lingyi died, according to the dispute between the Jia family and the Bai family, it was natural to go to pay condolences... After a discussion, three people were selected: Jia Cong, who proposed the construction of Hong Kong, and Prince Yi Zhong's former subordinate.
Gong Kun and Wu You, who had a lot of contacts with the Bai family in the early years. Jia Xichun glanced at them and said leisurely: "I have to go meet the female family members of the Bai family, right? I'll go." No one disagreed.
In the evening, Jia She heard that Wu Youxichun was going, so he pretended to stroke his beard and said: "There must be an elder, and just a few young people will not look good."
Jia Meng said from the side: "Grandpa, pull it down! Who doesn't know that you always want to see the excitement!"
Jia Cong said: "It's been so long, so what princess hasn't given up yet?"
Jia She said: "She should have a family at her age. Since she is not married yet, she naturally has no intention of giving up."
"It's not like the Bai family doesn't have grandchildren." Jia Cong shrugged, "It shouldn't be difficult to pick one."
Jia She said: "If the Bai family really believes that the two families are secretly at odds with each other as Yi Zhi said, it will be difficult for her to handle it. It doesn't matter which family she marries." Then he asked Gong Kun, "I remember Gong San also said that he wanted to take over.
She went to the capital to meet Princess Jinyang, why didn't she go? Hasn't she been rehabilitated long ago?"
Gong Kun said: "Bai Lingyi found an excuse that day not to let her go. My third uncle already knew that he was hiding his thoughts, so he didn't mention it later." He took a sip of tea and said, "They are all former members of Prince Yi Zhong, the Bai family
My brothers were both serious officials in the imperial court back then, but my third uncle was just a staff member."
Jia Cong said: "He is obviously the intelligence chief."
Gong Kun said: "It's hard to say who can restrain whom. In addition to the Bai family and my third uncle's subordinates, there are other people. Who should they follow? Prince Yi Zhong only has one bloodline left. Who has the princess in his hands?
, who is more upright?" He glanced at Jia Cong and said, "You don't want to marry her."
Jia Cong hummed: "If I want Hong Kong, I don't need to marry the princess, I can just go there."
Gong Kun said: "Where are the others?"
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "Just look at the excitement of Fourth Sister and Brother Wu You. We can't marry this princess, otherwise Fourth Sister will feel uncomfortable every time she sees her, so why bother to come."
Jia She also said: "That's right, you can't marry. As the saying goes, a child is not as good as a child. After all, she was raised by the Bai family."
Gong Kun said: "That's not entirely true. The princess was raised elsewhere when she first came to Lingnan."
"ha?"
Gong Kun said with a smile: "Who is Liu Dengxi? How can he trust the Bai family without a detailed investigation? Back then, the little princess was brought to Lingnan as a slave girl. It was just a stop-gap measure on the road. How could the Bai family dare to do so in the long run?
Treat the princess as a slave? Besides, you have to teach her poetry, calligraphy and etiquette, right? In the early years, my third uncle once subdued a barbarian tribe and sent her there. Later, when the news got better, we took her back."
Jia Cong said: "The most important cultivation of a person's character and kinship occurs when she is half a year old. She was too young when she was hiding in the barbarian tribe, and her love is not as good as that of the Bai family. We still can't marry this princess.
But you can persuade her to do something else." Nai winked. After waiting for a while, no one asked him what "something else" was. He was a little disappointed and stretched out, "I don't want to know, I'll go back to the house to rest.
Already." He yawned deliberately and left.
As soon as he walked out the door, Jia She started to nag at Gong Kun: "Yi Zhi, why don't you and the eldest girl have a child? The doctor who did the physical examination for you at Xiaoxiang Pavilion said last time that you two are not healthy
It's great, there's nothing wrong with it..." He opened the conversation like this and couldn't close it.
Gong Kun looked at Jia Lian; Jia Lian couldn't help, coughed, and found an excuse to escape... Jia Meng sat beside him in great interest and helped his grandfather: "Uncle, uncle! Give me a little cousin to play with."
!" Jia Cong was eavesdropping outside the door, but when he heard this, he ran quickly.
Early the next morning, Jia She led several children out of the southwest gate of Chengtian Mansion, got into a four-wheel carriage equipped with springs and rubber tires, and headed straight for Ping'an Harbor on a smooth concrete road.
Ping'an Port is a military port, where Taiwan's naval forces are stationed. When they see their carriages coming, they all give military salutes. Jia She feels sad and leads the children to salute the military salutes in return. Jia Cong feels like time and space are confused, and all kinds of thoughts say no.
What does Qing feel like?
When they arrived at Bai's house, the disciples went in to report that Jia She of the Rongguo Mansion had arrived, and Bai Lingen came out to greet him. Jia She cupped his hands with a sad look on his face: "General Bai, I'd like to express my condolences to you." Bai Lingen responded with choked sobs.
Bai Ling'en and his eldest nephew accompanied them to the funeral. Jia She sighed: "Mr. Bai!" After a long pause, he shook his head and said, "You are a talent for the prime minister!" Bai Lingyi's eyes turned red as he spoke.
His son was by his side and burst into tears when he heard this.
For a while, Beringen and others accompanied them to the side room to have tea. Jia She, Gong Kun and others said some words of comfort, but Jia Cong remained silent. Beringen looked at him and said, "Why is the third master silent? Could it be that?
Is there anything wrong with my waiting?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "My father was very sorry when he heard that Mr. Bai was driving to the west. After a while, he said, 'Beringen's talent is rare in the world, but it's a pity, a pity.' Outsiders are just like this. My nephew thought, 'I feel the same'
The words are the most false. The pain of losing a loved one cannot be felt by others, and grief cannot be restrained." Beringen became sad again. He added, "The deceased has passed away, and the living can only slowly accept the reality. As time goes by,
, Sorrow can always fade a little. However, no matter how much time passes, we will never forget that people like Mr. Beringyi talk about you." Wu You couldn't help but give him a big sign under the table.
thumb.
Jia She also said: "Isn't it possible? It can also leave a mark in the history of history."
Beringen sighed: "That is a matter for future generations, and we can't control it now. It's just that the real culprit behind the scenes has not yet been found."
Jia She said: "Didn't the murderer write a suicide note?"
Without waiting for a reply from the Bai family, Gong Kun said: "Uncle, that suicide note is obviously not genuine."
"Um?"
Jia Cong said from the side: "It may not be untrue. Just look at the suicide note and you can see clearly what grievances and enmities I have with Master Bai."
Bering said: "No."
Jia Cong said disdainfully: "You don't even take the lies seriously. If you have any grievances, how can you not explain it clearly and let the truth be known to the world? Who are you fooling?"
Jia She stroked his beard and said, "Look at it this way, is the suicide note a fake?"
Gong Kun thought: "General Bai, can you show us the suicide note?"
Bai Lingen was just a general and was not good at this. He immediately sent someone to the study to fetch the suicide note left by the fan. He handed it to Gong Kun first. Jia Cong couldn't wait. He stretched his neck to look at it and said with just one glance.
: "This is written by a man - who has ever seen a woman practicing Guange style? They don't do scientific research, and Guange style is not as good-looking as other fonts."
Beringen couldn't help but attack the case: "I didn't expect this part!"
Jia Cong added: "That Hua Lou is also innocent, so there is no need to spend any effort to investigate."
Jia She asked: "How can we see it?"
Jia Cong said: "When you see this letter, even if you believe it, you can't help but check it out. Since he specifically said that he has nothing to do with Hualou, the Bai family will involuntarily focus on checking Hualou.
Hualou was originally connected to the three religions and nine schools, which was enough to investigate for a while. More effort was put into investigating Hualou, and less effort was spent investigating other places. Moreover, the final result of the investigation was that 90% of Hualou was innocent - the opponent could not specifically mention it.
Please go to Bai’s house and check your own house.”
After reading the suicide note, Gong Kun thought for a moment and said: "The writing is sophisticated and steady, the allusions are just right, and the drafter is an old Confucian scholar." Then he handed the letter to Jia She. Jia She said, "I read it and it was useless." He gave it to Wu You, and Wu You.
You also said that he couldn't tell, so he gave it back to the Bai family.
Jia Cong asked again: "It stands to reason that Master Miaoyu is just a sister-in-law. He is practicing in Guangzhou, so no one should pay attention to him."
Beringen smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that we have slacked off. Everyone in the house knows about her."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "I don't think Qi's letter came from inside."
Beringen said: "I don't have time to do the funeral right now. After the first seven days, I will check inside."
While they were discussing, a daughter-in-law came in from outside and said with a wink, "Second Master, this servant was sent by the Second Wife..."
Beringen asked: "What's the matter?"
The wife looked at Jia She and then at Wu You, and said with an embarrassed face: "I have something to do and I have to go back to the second master."
Jia She's eyes lit up and he pretended to cough: "By the way, are our fourth girls still honest in the backyard?"
The face of the daughter-in-law suddenly changed and she hesitated: "Miss Jia Si is very good. Our wives, grandmothers and girls all like her."
Wu You laughed and said: "General, don't worry, the fourth girl behaves very well when she should."
Jia Cong glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Dad, it seems that the fourth sister is causing trouble in the backyard. Didn't you see the look on the sister-in-law's face?" The daughter-in-law became more and more sarcastic.
Seeing that all the people from the Jia family were reliable, Beringen asked, "What happened? What did the madam ask you to do?"
The daughter-in-law lowered her head and said, "Miss Jia Si made the princess cry with anger."
But just now, the maid who followed Xichun came into the painting, and Jia Cong hurriedly waved her to him. The daughter-in-law whispered back to Beringen, and when she entered the painting, she whispered back to the men in her family.
Just now in the backyard, Jia Xichun was talking politely to Bai Lingyi's wife, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and others. After talking for a while, a girl from the Bai family asked her about her past travels around the world, and Xichun told some of her travel experiences.
The princess knew that Wu You had gone to protect her, and her face was cold. A woman behind her said: "Young lady, you are like a businesswoman, how can you behave like this?"
Xichun had already guessed the identity of the princess. Seeing that this woman was nearly forty years old, she was still dressed like a daughter. With her demeanor, she was probably an aunt who had been brought from Prince Yi Zhong's palace in the early years. She did not refute, but decided.
He glanced at her and sighed: "It's so pitiful that this girl has never even stepped out of the house? Are you envious of me or jealous of me?"
The princess said calmly: "Miss Jia Si, aren't you afraid of being rude?"
Xichun said calmly: "I don't know who the girl is. Today, you, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, are actually sitting in front of the two ladies of the Bai family. Who is more rude, you or me?"
Mrs. Bai hurriedly said: "Miss Jia Si has misunderstood! This is the princess left by Prince Yizhong."
Xichun said: "What about the princess? I have seen Princess Jian'an in Luzhou in the early years, but I have never heard of her sitting at the head of the elders."
Mrs. Bai Er said: "The princess is the master after all, and we are the ministers."
Xichun did not listen and said, "It's just that every straw and paper used by the princess belongs to the Bai family."
The woman just took two steps forward, pointed at her and shouted: "Bold!"
Xichun chuckled and said, "Does this girl think I'm scared, or does she think I've never seen the world?"
The woman sneered and said: "What a little bitch in the capital, she really deserves her reputation. The fourth girl's reputation has been ruined, and she is uneasy. She still dares to talk nonsense everywhere. I'm afraid she won't be able to find her husband's family."
Xichun covered her mouth and smiled: "Without any trouble, the little girl has already decided on a husband. She is sitting outside your mansion right now."
Four men came to the Jia family today: her uncle Jia She, her brother-in-law Gong Kun, her brother Jia Cong, and Wu You. No need to guess who her chosen husband is? The princess's eyes suddenly turned red.
He stood up and ran out with his skirt in hand, tears rolling down his face.
After hearing this, Jia She smiled bitterly and said, "This girl is spoiled by me."
Bai Lingen secretly agreed in his heart. Gong San was also on the side of the Jia family and was very influential among the remaining members of Prince Yi Zhong. If the Jia family offended the princess, it would be more convenient for him. He said: "That's right.
It’s not the fourth girl’s fault, how did she know that the prince has treated me with great kindness?”
Jia Cong said: "It's just that what my fourth sister said is right. Although the princess is the orphan of the prince, she has lived in the Bai family these years. When something like this happened to Mr. Bai, she still sat on Mrs. Bai's head.
, it’s too outrageous.”
Beringen said: "My brother and I set these rules, and the princess has refused many times. But she is the master after all."
Jia Cong spread his hands: "You see, this is the generation gap. She is the master. After all, only you, General Bai, Mr. Bai who just went west and our Mr. Gong regard her as the master. At most, you and a few of your Bai family are more senior than us."
Men of the senior generation, you have been favored by Prince Yichuan and have a friendship with him. Remember his kindness. This prince has been dead for as long as we in this generation can remember. Mr. Gong also often said how good the prince was.
, Born with the bones of a dragon and a phoenix, he will surely become a wise king. But he is dead... Even if he 'can' become a wise king, he will never 'really' become a wise king. No matter how many times Mr. Gong says it, I can't respect him.
.I am afraid that the young masters and girls of the Bai family will inevitably have such thoughts. General Bai, this is not a matter of you nagging the old things a few times and forcing her to sit above Mrs. Bai who can be her grandmother, forcing the Bai family to
The ladies, grandmothers and girls salute her, and the younger generation can respect her as their master.
How could Beringen tell him that the princess was the basis for them to order many of their former colleagues? After hearing this, he thought for a long time and said, "The third master doesn't understand this, that's all. So the third master still refuses to marry her?"
"Huh?" Jia Cong's eyes widened, "Isn't it already agreed?" Nai waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't afford to offend this person. Not only I can't afford to offend him, but our family can't afford to offend these people. Isn't it the same in the Bai family?
Many disciples?”
Bai Lingen sighed softly and glanced at Wu You. Wu You just sat there and pretended to be stupid.
Jia She suddenly asked Wu You: "When did the matter between you and the fourth girl come to an end? How come I didn't know about it?"
Wu You blinked: "When I was about to get off work yesterday," Nai said seriously, "The fourth girl came by my office and said, hello, are you willing to get engaged to me? I said, yes."
Several people looked at each other for a moment, and Jia Cong suddenly clapped his hands: "Fourth sister is mighty~~" (..)
