At this time, Lin Yutong felt that this Ningguo Mansion was really strange and unreasonable.
It's great that the Jia family treats Qin Keqing well. Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen are doing this and that. Is this a problem? It should be yes. Jia Rong is a person who can't move when he sees a woman, but what about Qin Keqing?
In the words of Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, "Although my aunt's nephew is young, he respects me and I respect him." Apart from this, there is no other young couple who interact with each other. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng also have fun in the boudoir.
As for the description, why is there no such thing as Jia Rong and Qin Keqing? If it is because there is something indescribable between these two people with Jia Zhen, but why does Jia Rong respect Qin Keqing?
They are already married, and with the Jia family's urinary temperament, there is no reason why they should like Qin Keqing but not their natal family. But Qin Keqing has been married to the Jia family for several years, and no one in the Rongguo Mansion has ever seen her younger brother.
If the Xue family of Mrs. Wang’s sister is considered an old relative of the Jia family, what about the Xing family? Why not call the unworthy Xing family Uncle Xing!
Even for people like Grandma Liu, her son-in-law's ancestors are related to the Wang family, and they can get money to support them when they visit the Jia family. So because the Qin family doesn't have money to go to school... Could it be that Qin Keqing's natal family is not even as good as Grandma Liu?
Therefore, in the eyes of people in Ningguo Mansion, Qin Zhong must have an identity that cannot be known. Therefore, he has been hiding it.
Jia Zhen, Youshi, and Jia Rong all thought they were insiders and identified Qin Zhong's identity.
But maybe they were deceived by Qin Keqing.
Moreover, Qin Keqing's plan is probably different from that of the other three. This can be seen from the fact that Qin Keqing actively introduced Qin Zhong to Baoyu and Wang Xifeng. His sister asked for a meeting, but Youshi and Jia Rong
But she was against it. Jia Rong usually didn't dare to disobey Sister Feng, but that day she pushed back and forth.
From this point of view, it is possible that the two parties have differences on some matters. Or, in other words, the purposes of the two parties are actually different.
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be more evidence that Qin Zhong is a fake orphan. Qin Keqing wanted to push Qin Zhong in front of people step by step to attract other people's attention, but the other three people in Ningguo Mansion didn't know that this was a fake, and it was too late to hide it.
How could he dare to get involved again? From that moment on, Qin Keqing should have realized that these people were simply unreliable.
If so, if she was really found out, would the Jia family protect her?
If she doesn't worry, who will?
Save her?
Those who cannot be saved have their own choice of death, and no one can stop it.
This is what the couple can say when they are huddled in bed, and do not talk about these taboo topics. There are people in the Jia family who help King Zhongshun with things, which means that there are probably details in every house. Now, although the family
No new people have been hired, but who can guarantee that the previous people will not work hard?
The girls around Lin Yutong were all brought from Jia's house. Who can guarantee that they are clean?
Of course, as long as this subtle trick is activated, Lin Yutong is confident that it cannot be hidden from her eyes. But even if she sees it, what can you do? You have to keep it well and continue to use it pretending not to know. Otherwise, let people die of illness? This
Aren't you just waiting for people to pay attention to you?
The fourth master is not a bastard | The male protagonist Ma Wen has a different kind of affection for Qin Keqing. Who is going to care whether he is dead or alive?
He thought of Jia Jing at this moment, and then sneered: "No wonder he shrank into a Taoist temple. He is quite clever."
If the You family was an "insider" and she married into the Jia family at such an old age, then on the contrary, if her parents ordered a matchmaker, without Jia Jing's nod, it would have been impossible for Jia Zhen to marry You family.
Lin Yutong nodded and asked, "Do you want to go to Xuanzhen Temple?"
"Don't go!" Fourth Master covered Lin Yutong with a quilt tightly: "We can all think of it, how could others not think of it? It would be more conspicuous if we go, just pretend that we don't know anything. If Qin Keqing is alive, Jia Jing's life will be easier
Point. If Qin Keqing dies, it will be fine if he really knows something. If he still doesn’t know anything, then he is not far from death."
This topic ends here. As for how Jia Jing got into trouble with others, only he knows this. But the fourth master is not that curious.
The two of them didn't sleep too late at night, and they couldn't sleep too late. The fourth master had to get up before dawn to go to work. Compared with the modern nine-to-five, it is much more unkind now. The ministers have to get up in the middle of the night when they are in court.
It's not that exaggerated, but getting up at five o'clock is a tight time. This must be because the place where I live is not far from the Yamen. After getting up, I wash up and grab some breakfast. If it happens to be a nice day without wind or rain
, Fourth Master always goes there on horseback. If the weather is bad and he goes by car, he has to get up an hour early. And there will be traffic jams on the road.
All the officials, big and small, come to the Yamen at this time. How can it not be crowded?
Lin Yutong was thinking about moving.
First, I feel that this place is too close to Ningrong Street. King Zhongshun even sent people to keep an eye on this place. All matters big and small have to pass under their noses. This feeling makes people uncomfortable. Second, there are too many people coming and going.
, this place is indeed too small. Even holding a banquet makes me nervous. Thirdly, on one side are the Jia family members and on the other side are the military attachés, but they are far away from the civil servants. This is not good for the fourth master to integrate into the entire civil service system.
So, we have to deal with moving.
To be honest, she thought that the ideal moving model would be to pack everything up and move in as a family. But now we really can't do this secretly. This is called housewarming. It is a big happy event. Not only the living but also the dead must be notified.
Ah! You have to tell your ancestors where the descendants of this branch will move to for whatever reason. If you, the old man, have a spirit, please come back with me and have a look.
Therefore, we first asked people to clean up, then placed things, then asked for auspicious days and sent out invitations. After all this work, it would be good to be able to move in in time for winter.
Lin Yutong was busy with these trivial matters that seemed to never be finished, but what about the Fourth Master? Suddenly, he was reminded of it by the Supreme Emperor, and then he was called to the palace by the Supreme Emperor, who took the opportunity to change the Fourth Master into a fourth
I don’t really want to change my job at all. What kind of job?
Make imperial edicts and walk in front of the emperor.
There are two official positions here. The one who helps draft the edict is a civil official. But the one who walks in front of the emperor is a military official.
Besides, this imperial court is not the emperor’s imperial palace, but the imperial palace of the Supreme Emperor.
Helping the Supreme Emperor make imperial edicts, and then he can also walk in front of the emperor... Walking in front of the emperor means being able to walk back and forth with a sword. This shows his trust.
If the official position of making imperial edicts is because the Supreme Emperor wants to find a trustworthy newcomer, then this walk in front of the emperor is a political signal released. It means: the old sage still trusts the old minister more!
As long as you don't want to let go of the wealth and honor you hold in your hands, who in office will be more beneficial to these veterans?
The emperor and his ministers must be old saints!
Come to think of it, when this news spreads, many people will be happy and excited.
The Supreme Emperor asked: "What? Not happy?"
Whether you are willing or not, this has to go on. I am afraid that Emperor Zhenglong is also eager to do so. This can be regarded as driving a nail into the side of the Supreme Emperor. Any thoughts of the Supreme Emperor, the Fourth Master will know immediately.
But this job is not easy.
Lin Yutong knew how nervous the officials who followed the emperor all day long were, so he frowned and asked: "Then from now on...all of them will be in the palace?"
"Yeah." Fourth Master is familiar with this set of procedures: "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
The Supreme Emperor Xu felt that sending a signal like this was not enough to express his attitude. As a result, the next day, a female official came to the palace to invite Lin Yutong, saying that the concubine had summoned her.
The only person who can be called a concubine now is Concubine Zhen.
Yes! Just leave when someone calls you.
After wandering into the palace for the second time, it turned out that Concubine Zhen was living in a side hall of Kunyuan Palace.
Whether it is from the name of the palace or from its location in the palace, it is not difficult to judge that Kunyuan Palace should be the queen's bedroom. This is further illustrated by the fact that the concubine does not live in the main hall.
Living here means she has a high status. If she doesn't live in the main hall, it means she doesn't dare to overstep her bounds.
Concubine Zhen was a beautiful woman in her thirties who still had charm. She looked at Lin Yutong and smiled: "Come here, good boy, don't be afraid. Your grandmother and I have a very good relationship."
But it seems that there is obviously a difference in seniority.
Lin Yutong saluted and stood up, then walked over: "I often hear my grandma thinking about you. I see that you are in good health and there are no traces of time. I'm afraid grandma has to go and fulfill her wish."
This means that Jia Mu prayed for her health in front of the Bodhisattva.
This kid is very good at talking.
"Your grandmother is good at training people. Zhong Ling Yuxiuquan asked her to train and teach the girls." After talking and laughing, he asked someone to serve tea. He talked to Lin Yutong: "Yesterday, the old saint said to the number one scholar.
After waiting for a long time, I became curious about whose child they were talking about. When I asked, I found out that it was the nephew of an old acquaintance, and I thought to myself, what kind of woman would be suitable for such a good child. After asking again, it was still the same.
My own child. I just said, let’s meet her. Unfortunately, among the girls in the Zhen family, none of them seems to be attractive to me, and they are not as blessed as you."
The girl from the Zhen family sent two, and also folded in two. One is the crown prince's concubine, and she is still staying in the cold palace. The other is Princess Nan'an, but unfortunately she also passed away. These are all nieces of Princess Zhen.
It's all right, mentioning these two dead people, talking about good luck or bad luck. But even if they are dead, they are still princesses. Can they be compared to ordinary married women?
It was not clear what she wanted to say or what her purpose was. Lin Yutong was not easy to speak, so she only pursed her lips and smiled shyly, looking a little reserved and uneasy.
Then Concubine Zhen stopped talking. After chatting about family matters, she said she was tired. She rewarded Lin Yutong with a lot of things and asked people to take her out of the palace. They all arrived at the gate of the palace, and the nun who escorted her out
Suddenly he said: "When I went out just now, I gave you another warning. I asked you to remember to say hello to the old lady of the Jia family for her. Please remember it."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yutong suddenly understood it after getting on the sedan chair.
Those words were not told to me, they were clearly meant to send a message to Jia Mu. One of the concubines of the Zhen family was gone, and so was the princess of the county. The Zhen family did not have any girls sent to the capital, but the Jia family did.
She wanted to push the girl from Jia's family. This was to ask Jia's mother to show her affection. That's why she said something about good luck or bad luck.
Lin Yutong sneered. Concubine Zhen really underestimated Yuan Chun if she thought she could control Yuan Chun.
It was just a message. Lin Yutong did not go home but went directly to Jia's house. How he was summoned, how he asked questions, how he answered questions, and how he explained before leaving were all told word for word.
No modifications either.
There were only two people in the room, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. After they finished speaking, their whole bodies seemed to be trembling.
Lin Yutong didn't say much. He was blessed and quietly left.
When Mrs. Wang heard the door closing again, she immediately stood up and sat next to Jia Mu: "Old lady... after all the hardships, happiness comes..."
Jia Mu smiled and nodded: "What you said... there is half a chance of winning. But Yuan Chun must know this... Tong Yatou is not good at spreading the message. There are some things, so we still can't ask her to take action..."
On this point, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu agreed. They whispered to Jia Mu: "Mr. Wang."
"Huh?" Mrs. Wang said in a low voice: "We were also family friends, but when the eunuch Xiao Xia came, she told her that Yuan's girl Xia Li was suffering from heatstroke, and Dr. Wang was cured after taking a dose of medicine. Now the female officials are seeing the doctor
, mostly looking for him."
It means that it is convenient to meet Yuanchun and it is not easy to arouse suspicion.
Jia Mu then nodded: "If you have minor symptoms, just invite someone to come. No matter how much money you have."
"Yes!" Mrs. Wang responded, then whispered: "This year's gift to the Zhen family must not be careless."
"Not only can't we be careless..." Jia Mu sighed: "Send another reliable person with fifty thousand taels of silver notes. Now, we are begging them."
Mrs. Wang responded again and went down to discuss with Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, "Fifty thousand taels? Now... where can I get 50,000 taels?"
Mrs. Wang whispered the matter, "As long as this thing is done, how many fifty thousand taels will not come back?"
"But I can't come up with so much money right now." Wang Xifeng whispered: "Old lady..."
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "If the old lady was willing to pay this money, she would have said it then."
The old lady didn't even come out. Wang Xifengxin asked me where I could get the money. Even if I took out the entire dowry, I couldn't get it.
Mrs. Wang whispered: "The land deed to the fields in Jinling..."
Wang Xifeng understood this, and it made sense! Anyway, most of the fields over there are entrusted to the tribesmen. But the annual rent is getting less and less year by year. It’s not that this side has been flooded.
, that piece was eaten by worms. It never had a good year anyway. Who knows where the money went?
The housekeeper of the old house in Jinling belongs to the old lady. Yuanyang's parents are over there. If the money that is lost every year is in the hands of the old lady, I really don't dare to touch it. But the old lady is the steward of Yuanyang.
The old lady who holds the key probably doesn't even know how much she owns. She doesn't know how much she has been cheated on.
Since there is no profit to be gained, why should we still keep it to feed others?
Just sell it!
Mrs. Wang said hurriedly: "This matter must be handled quietly. Don't let anyone know about it for the time being. Reliable people must go there..."
Wang Xifeng responded, but if he had to find someone, who could he go to? It was not up to Jia Lian to deal with it.
But Jia Lian didn't want to run south in the cold weather, so he pulled Yu Liang over to drink and whispered the matter.
Because there was nothing corrupt about Yu Liang's purchase of rare stones for Jia She, Jia Lian felt that he was very reliable. And since he knew the truth, he still had to rely on his own people to help him, so it was best not to do so.
Yu Liang was startled: "Are you really selling them all?"
Jia Lian said: "If you don't get a lot of money back in a year, what should you do with it? It will feed the fat ones to the point of turning back on the master. It's better to sell it all!"
Yu Liang didn't quite understand this logic. If there were mice at home, he would not catch them, but he would sell all the rice in the rice vat at home and starve the mice to death. What kind of logic is this?
When I came back, I discussed with Lin Yutong and Fourth Master that good land in the south is not easy to come across.
Lin Yutong sneered: "The rats in the Jia family all have masters. The rats raised by the old lady are more noble than others, and they don't dare to hurt them easily."
Yu Liang didn't want to express his opinion on this: "Otherwise, our two families will find a way to eat it."
Those Zhuangzi must be worth eight|ninety thousand taels no matter what. Yu Liang could only put out 20,000, and he bought them under Shao Hua's name. As for Fourth Master, he would not put them in his own money.
Name. He is still a member of the Jia family. Therefore, let’s just say that it is all under Lin Yutong’s name. Apart from the 20,000 taels of land that Yu Liang wants, the fourth master and Lin Yutong want the rest. This matter has to be done
It was done in such a low-key manner that no one could know about it, so Yu Liang had to go there personally.
Lin Yutong asked people to clean up the guest house again, and brought Shao Hua and the child over. The man at home was not around, so Lin Yutong was worried that she would take care of the child alone.
Of course, Yu Liang didn't worry about his family. The faster he left, the faster he came back.
Without taking advantage of the Jia family, I gave him eighty-six thousand taels according to the current market price.
Jia Lian himself was stunned for a moment: "So many?"
"What's so much?" Yu Liang said: "It's really not cost-effective to sell land now. If it comes in spring next year, regardless of whether it's good or bad, just sow a thousand taels of seeds, and the land will be sold for more than 10,000 taels of silver for nothing.
It’s an easy thing.”
"That's enough." Jia Lian seemed happy, "Isn't this an urgent need at home?"
After saying that, he took out a thousand taels from it and stuffed it into Yu Liang, and said in a low voice: "Where is your second sister-in-law..."
Do you understand, this is hush money for yourself?
Yu Liang sighed: "Okay! I just don't tell anyone." He didn't want anyone to know that he was involved in this matter, so he agreed very quickly. You didn't need to ask, you knew that he was busy, and Jia Lian was busy too.
I pretended to go to the south, but actually I had no idea where I had been happy for so many days. After thinking about it, I asked Jia Lian again: "If something goes wrong, you have to ask me to tell you everything. Don't tell me."
"Seventy-six thousand taels." Jia Lian felt that Yu Liang was about to say something, and he was about to bet some money. So he said: "Good brother, you know how powerful your second sister-in-law is. This man is socializing outside and has no money to keep him company.
It really doesn’t work.”
Okay! I can't accept these one thousand taels. If I accept them, Jia Lian will feel at ease.
He once again refreshed his understanding of these wealthy children. He did not stuff the family's money into other people's pockets just to hide it from his wife.
Thinking about it, his family had already spent all the money they had raised to buy Zhuangzi. The Chinese New Year was coming again, and they were really short of money. He accepted it, but said to Jia Lian: "It's just this time, but next time it will happen."
Stop looking for me."
That is, that is! Definitely! It should be very good.
Wang Xifeng was unprepared and took back 76,000 taels. She thought that there were some parts here and there, and she was afraid that she might have deducted all the thousands taels. She easily took out the 16,000 taels and put it into her arms:
"feasible?"
Jia Lian laughed: "Is it possible that I didn't know that I had an affair with my own daughter-in-law, so I went to report you for nothing?"
"What about the mouth of the person in charge?" Wang Xifeng tapped Jia Lian's lips: "Who will seal it for me?"
Jia Lian stretched out his hand and took out one thousand taels from the sixteen thousand taels: "You never call someone in vain." After saying that, he stuffed the thousand taels of silver notes into his arms and got off the couch.
He jumped down and walked out: "Just relax, I'll take care of the rest."
"Unscrupulous ghost!" Wang Xifeng snorted and asked Ping'er to collect fifteen thousand taels, and then gave the remaining 60,000 taels to Mrs. Wang. She also sighed to Mrs. Wang: "What if we wait until spring starts?
It can also be sold for 80,000 taels. Now we are in such a hurry that we can’t even take care of it.”
Mrs. Wang took the banknote and said: "Go and do your work. Send gifts to the Zhen family sooner or later. You can tell me in advance so that I can arrange the arrangements."
Who knew that Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were really a couple, and they were going south. Jia Lian had to go, not counting that Wang Xifeng even went to Yu's house and asked Yu Liang to accompany Jia Lian, "This matter is very important!"
As you all know, our gentleman is willing to take out the money from the frying pan and spend it. Although these fifty thousand taels are nothing to the family, if he really uses them, it won't be bad.
It’s my wife’s business. Therefore, it must be handed over to the Zhen family no matter what.”
Wang Xifeng really didn't know that Yu Liang was the one selling his ancestral property, otherwise he would never have been able to say, "These fifty thousand taels are nothing."
After talking about this, he also knew how much the Jia family had to pay in order to raise fifty thousand taels. Yu Liang agreed and ensured that it would be delivered to the Zhen family.
Lin Yutong suddenly realized that this was how the Zhen family received the fifty thousand taels of silver from the Jia family. It was a gift given when they hired someone, but they fell out of favor when they turned around and stopped using the person.
After sending the person away, Shao Hua said: "I will die to save face and live to suffer."
Yes! For the sake of appearance, this family member has many plans and schemes behind his back.
Lin Yutong was moving to a new house, and Yu Liang was not here either. They set out in late November to deliver New Year gifts to the Zhen family. They hauled three boatloads of things, which was very eye-catching.
And November 29th is a rare and good day.
On this day of moving house, a banquet was held in the new house. Because the Fourth Master is now walking in front of the Supreme Emperor. Good guy, most of the old nobles came to the door. It is not important people, even if they are just juniors in the family, it is enough.
Face. There is also the Cheng'enhou Mansion, the queen's natal family, and they also come to visit in a serious manner.
Wang Xifeng and Youshi came first, helping Lin Yutong to take care of things in the back. Seeing the guest's style, they hurriedly sent people back, and then Mrs. Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing arrived.
For families like the Prince of Beijing, the Prince of Nan'an, and the Prince of Xining, even though no one has arrived, the gifts have been received, and the gifts are not shabby.
After a whole day of hustle and bustle, the rooms in the outer courtyard and the courtyard were all filled with gifts.
The gift book alone is three thick volumes.
The fourth master asked someone to copy another copy, and then found an opportunity to send it to King Zhongshun. Needless to say, there is everything in it. Most of those who can give gifts have some political leanings.
This thing is placed on Emperor Zhenglong's imperial desk. The more he looks at it, the more headache he gets: "If we really force ourselves, something will happen. It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time..."
On the night of the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Zhenglong visited Jia Yuanchun.
It was also on this night, but it was past midnight, it should be considered the second day of the Lunar New Year, that Qin Keqing of Ningguo Mansion hanged himself in Tianxiang Tower.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were sleeping when they heard a knock on the door outside. It was the girl's voice: "Madam, someone has come from Dongfu. The person who came to announce the funeral said it was Grandma Xiaorong who died."
Yes! No more leisure time.
Qin Keqing is a generation younger. As an elder, he can at most wear plain clothes and go over to burn a stick of incense. Then when he is sewing seven, he can go over and burn another stick.
This is what the fourth master and Lin Yutong planned. The fourth master showed up, but because he was going to the palace, he didn't stay much, and he didn't dare to let anyone stay. Since the fourth master was not here, Lin Yutong inevitably had to be more considerate.
After all, the fourth master's success in the examination was inseparable from Jia Jing's support at that time. Now that there is something going on in his family, he cannot be careless.
She went directly to the back house, where the men in front were discussing the coffin. The women in the backyard were supposed to be discussing how to dress. No matter what, the female relatives who were close to her had to see what it would look like after the tidying up.
Whatever should be given to the deceased for burial should be numbered.
When Lin Yutong arrived, Wang Xifeng was stopped outside by Youshi, "...she is such a decent person, just ask her to leave in a decent manner..."
He kept holding on to me without letting go! It means that the appearance of death is not good-looking.
Wang Xifeng sneered, pushed Youshi hard, pushed Youshi to the ground, and cursed: "Who knows what you are doing."
Youshi struggled twice first, and after hearing these words, she closed her eyes decisively and fell backwards. This living person is more important than the dead, and everyone is surrounding Youshi. How could Wang Xifeng not know that there is something fishy about Qin Keqing?
Now that I have been stopped, I have to cover myself with a big quilt to cover up my ugliness. Wu Zi wiped her tears in the direction of the house. When she saw Lin Yutong walking this way, she came over first and pulled him over.
He looked at Lin Yutong and walked out: "You are young, why don't you come here to see this? She is the most self-loving person, and now she is sick and only has a handful of bones left. I feel very sad when I see it. Forget it, stop looking at it.
, Shangzhuxiang, she just knows how good you are. You go back first and have a rest. When the people who come to mourn come, we, the grandmothers of the family, will inevitably have to accompany you. You are under imperial orders, so you are better than me.
They're all more respectable." Even with her coaxing words, Lin Yutong was rubbed out. If she hadn't had sharp ears and sharp eyes, and stood at the corner and listened for a long time, she would have never known that such a thing was happening.
Since they wanted to hide it, Lin Yutong stopped going up. He came out from here and went directly home. He could also catch up on some sleep.
On the Fourth Master's side, things were not going so well.
After the morning court, Emperor Zhenglong asked to see the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor was calling the Fourth Master to his side and asked him to draw up an edict. Isn't it the New Year soon? It's the New Year, and you can give whatever rewards you deserve to some distinguished veterans.
I'll reward you. Especially those who are not in the capital. Now I have to hurry up and send it slowly. As long as I can make time, it is considered a good thing.
Your Majesty has big hands, so just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle any rewards you want. But this Emperor also wanted to reward people a few years ago. Even if those people were cut into eight pieces, it can't be said that they were all handled perfectly. Don't underestimate this little thing, this little thing
If your dissatisfaction accumulates too much, it will be a big deal.
The Supreme Emperor is also worried. What will he be rewarded this year?
The fourth master then gave some advice. For example, for those who are not in the capital, you can either give them a fan or give them the word "福" during the New Year. It will all work. For those who are in the capital, when people worship their ancestors, give them something to worship.
Dongxi, on New Year’s Eve, enjoy a bowl of royal meal.
The Emperor clapped his hands and said that this was a good idea.
Benefit without any expense and still appear to be close.
But this list still has something to say to the minister, and he has to say it. The fourth master has drafted the edict, right?
They were talking here, and then Emperor Zhenglong asked for an audience. The smile on the Emperor's face disappeared at that time, and he sat back and asked people to come in. After the fourth master paid tribute to Emperor Zhenglong, he naturally wanted to leave. But Emperor Zhenglong stopped him at this time
, asked directly: "I heard that there was a funeral in the Jia family?"
This is to bring Qin Keqing's matter to the Supreme Emperor.
The fourth master just didn't know Qin Keqing's identity: "She is a female descendant of a junior generation, how dare you ask the Holy Spirit to ask."
Emperor Zhenglong also laughed: "You are young, so you don't know." He walked towards the Supreme Emperor, and then sat next to the Supreme Emperor: "Do you still remember the trip to Jiangnan in the 18th year of Xiping?"
The Supreme Emperor said: "I am not old and confused. How can I not remember what happened just a few years ago?"
"Yes! Not many years ago, only eighteen years." Emperor Zhenglong said: "Back then, my son and eldest brother accompanied their father to the south and lived in the Zhen family."
The Emperor was in a trance for a moment: "Yes! It's been eighteen years." He was stunned for a moment, and then he was puzzled: "What does this have to do with the Jia family's funeral?"
"Don't worry!" Emperor Zhenglong handed the tea over: "That year, I lived in the Zhen family. The Zhen family prepared several waiters for their son and eldest brother. The son was young at the time and didn't pay attention. He also thought that the eldest brother
Like a son, but unexpectedly, the eldest brother was lucky enough to have the maid prepared by the Zhen family to serve him, and the maid was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter."
The Zhen family should have reported this to the Zhen family a long time ago, why not? It’s not a big deal?!
Emperor Zhenglong sighed: "I'm afraid my father has forgotten that it was around the time that Concubine Zhen entered the palace. And my eldest brother... was just scolded by his father and told to shut up and think about his mistakes."
When I discipline my son, who still remembers which year and day I disciplined him?
But the emperor's training of the prince is probably recorded. The emperor will not lie about this matter. If he says it is, then it must be true.
The reprimands and reprimands were nothing more than those words. Some said they were arrogant and lewd, and some said they indulged in beauty. That was probably it. If such words were said, and the Zhen family reported the pregnant maid again, that would not be the case.
Harming the prince? Naturally, this matter was kept hidden. Besides, she is a daughter, so as long as the arrangements are good, there is no need for extraneous matters.
After understanding this, the Supreme Emperor said "hmm", which was regarded as acquiescence.
Emperor Zhenglong said: "In the 21st year of Xiping, my father went to the south of the Yangtze River again. His son did not accompany him, only his eldest brother accompanied him. That year, the Ministry of Industry transferred a group of people from the south of the Yangtze River. There was a camp here
Lang Qinye also came to the capital. The couple had only one daughter, and later they added a son. The daughter was old enough to have hairpins, so she was betrothed to the grandson of Jia Jing of the Ningguo Mansion. She didn't have any children after three years of marriage. She went there last night..."
Although the words were spoken in a straightforward manner, the Supreme Emperor understood all the meaning.
The Jia family knew that she was the royal daughter, so she became the clan's wife after marrying into the family. But this suddenly disappeared. Is it because the eldest son left and felt that the child had become a stumbling block?
"How did you get there?" This is what he asked.
"Hang yourself!" Emperor Zhenglong saw that the Emperor's eyes turned evil, and he quickly said: "The Jia family treats this child...not to mention how good it is...but when it comes to asking this child to die, he should not have the courage. Death is
She chose it herself...why, doesn’t Father understand?"
The Supreme Emperor was not confused and quickly found out the crux of the problem from what he said before. In the 21st year of Xiping, the boss accompanied him to the south of the Yangtze River again. After that, Qin Ye appeared in the capital, and there was such a girl.
.Actually, there should be no connection between Qin Ye's appearance in the capital and the boss accompanying him. But now that the fourth child said so, there must be some connection... Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that for the first time, he could stay
A hidden gem in the ocean, wouldn’t it leave a seed the second time? Calculating the time, if this girl had been married to a good family, she would have been married to a good family like the first one. But now there is no news at all about this girl.
He chose to die again. In other words, the fourth child suspected...suspected that the boss had left an adult son outside?
This is the true cause of trouble!
He was telling himself that those nobles might not be trustworthy. These people were not seeking refuge with him, the Supreme Emperor, but with the child who might have been left in the wild. If it were for the sake of peace in the world, he could not give these veterans such thought!
The Supreme Emperor's face was blue and white, and Emperor Zhenglong stood up and quietly left.
After a long time, the Supreme Emperor came back to his senses and looked at the fourth master who was still standing by: "...In your opinion, what does the Jia family think?"
"I don't want to lose the overwhelming wealth left by my ancestors, but I don't have the ability and courage to match my ambition." The fourth master said and looked at the Supreme Emperor: "Even if you are loyal, what can you do? It is of no use to the family, and it is not beneficial to the country.
What can we do?”
The implication is: What can you do if you keep this group of trash? As long as they don't cause trouble, what else can you expect?
How bold are these words?
The Supreme Emperor raised his head, his eyes a little unpredictable: "That's your family!"
The Fourth Master raised his head calmly without saying a word of excuse.
The Supreme Emperor was startled for a moment, and after a long time he let out a long sigh: "I'm confused! It's not good for my family, so you can give it up. It's not good for the country, but what can't I give up?" As he spoke, his
His hands couldn't help but tremble.
Fourth Master understood that if he said this, the Supreme Emperor would cut off his own arm.
Who can understand this kind of pain?
A trace of unbearability flashed in the fourth master's eyes. He went over to help him, then took his trembling hand and rubbed it gently.
The Supreme Emperor was stiff for a moment, but his eye circles suddenly turned red: "...I thought it was my second prince who came back..."
The second prince died before he reached adulthood. The fourth prince lowered his head and his eyes were red.
He thought that the underage second prince might be 'himself'...
