Baoyu suddenly became paralyzed. He knelt in front of Jia Mu's soul for a long time and refused to get up. The strong regret hit him and his spirit almost collapsed. He even refused to see Xiangyun again.
When Jia She knew about it, he rushed over, picked up his cane and wanted to beat Baoyu to death: "Jia Baoyu! I thought you were a good person! That's why the old lady loves you so much! I never expected that you turned out to be a wolf with a heart and a dog's lungs."
Things! What are you thinking about? Do you have to torture the whole family to death before you give up? "
Although everyone stopped him, Jia She still beat Baoyu.
In fact, although Jia She is a bastard, he is still very filial.
Otherwise, Jia Mu would not have been suppressed for so many years before resisting once.
After Sister Feng and others heard about the reason, they were extremely disappointed with Baoyu. Sister Feng pointed directly at Baoyu and cursed:
"My ancestors love you so much. Why are you so ignorant?"
Then he glared at Shi Xiangyun angrily and said: "We really have nothing to say to you. You don't distinguish between relatives and friends, you don't know right from wrong, you don't know a good heart, and you still refuse to reflect on it now. You are so angry that you treat me so well."
Ancestor. You have been making mistakes all your life. In this case, you should become a nun and atone for the mistakes you have made."
After saying that, he ordered the ladies to push Xiangyun out. After getting her hair cut, he took her directly to the Qingjie Hall on the mountainside to chant sutras. Cuixi was not allowed to follow, so Xia Jingui pointed her out to a young man at home as his wife.
She became a daughter-in-law.
Cui Lu was reluctant in every possible way, but her body and contract were in the hands of others, so she had nothing to do.
Yuanyang was about to die for the Lord, but Xia Jingui stopped her. She said: "The thing that our ancestors were most worried about during his lifetime was Gui'er. He is still so young. Why don't you watch him grow up and become a man of talent on behalf of our ancestors?"
When Yuanyang heard about it, she gave up her will to die, knelt in front of Jia Mu's coffin, combed herself, and became Jia Gui's upbringing nanny.
The funeral ceremony for Jia's mother was very solemn. Lin Jue, Tu Jinheng, Daiyu, Yingchun, Miaoyu, Yinglian and even Nan'an and Beijing princes all came to pay their respects. Baoyu silently performed his duties for his grandson and even his son.
All the things that need to be done.
Seeing him like that, after everyone became popular, they couldn't bear to blame him harshly: he was taken advantage of by Xiangyun after all, not to mention that he was the roof boy of the second room of the Jia family, and Xia Jingui and Jia Gui would have to rely on him for their lives in the future.
But Baoyu looked lifeless, as if he had lost all vitality, which made everyone worried.
After Jia Mu's funeral, Jia She and Jia Lian were going to carry the coffin back to Jinling, but Jia Lian had already become the shopkeeper and was busy every day. After all, Jia She was old and did not dare to travel far, so they temporarily left his coffin on the iron threshold.
He stayed in the temple for a while and then helped him back to Jinling.
Jia She was originally unwilling to give Baoyu the property after Jia Mu's death, but Sister Feng persuaded her again and again by pointing out her filial piety, and also talked about Jia Gui, so that Jia She gave one-third to Baoyu, and Baoyu remained silent.
They just let them make the decision and didn't care about anything. They just went to Tiekan Temple to kowtow to Jia's mother and burn incense every day. Seeing him like that, Jia She also sighed: "Idiot, if I had known about this, why did I do it in the first place?"
Xia Jingui felt uneasy and tried his best to comfort him, but even Jia Gui's cry could not move Baoyu. Baoyu spent the first year of mourning in a state of confusion.
This year, at least 17 or 18 families of nobles, headed by the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, were hit. Among them, the families of Duke Li and Duke of Qi were also raided like the Rongning and Rongning families.
There was bad news every day, and Jia Baoyu also fell into silence.
In the second year, his appearance seemed to have calmed down, but he seemed to like reading Buddhist scriptures more. Xia Jingui tried to persuade him to no avail. When Xia Jingui was worried and didn't know what to do, news came from Guangzhou that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had died of illness.
Already.
As soon as Xia Jingui heard the news, he rushed to Baoyu quickly, fearing that he would be crushed by the news. But Baoyu just smiled calmly and said: "It's almost time, it will be a matter of time." He said with a look like
Smiling but not smiling, with an expression that looked like crying but not crying, he turned around and walked into the house.
Xia Jingui was frightened and hurriedly followed him in, guarding him and not daring to leave. Seeing Xia Jingui's nervous look, Baoyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You go and prepare your luggage. The master and his wife are gone, I always
It’s time to pick up their skeletons and bring them back to Jinling together with the old lady.”
Xia Jingui hesitated and said: "But now that everything is unstable, get up now..."
Baoyu said calmly: "No matter how unstable the place is, as a son of a human being, the bones of the master and his wife must still be taken care of..."
"Brother Bao, you'd better calm down and calm down!"
Jia Huan's voice came, stopping Baoyu's words.
It turned out that Jia Huan received the news and rushed over, stopping Baoyu's words.
He sneered and said: "You have worried the old lady, the master, and the wife all your life, and now you want to worry the second sister-in-law and Guier? You are also a married person, why are you so worried? Is it possible that it's your fault?
Are those Buddhist scriptures and worldly connections more important than my second sister-in-law and Gui'er? In that case, wouldn't it be better to be reincarnated directly into the family of Chahar herdsmen and become a Yellow Sect lama, so that no one will worry about you!"
As soon as these words came out, Baoyu's face changed, and then he sighed and said nothing.
Jia Huan ignored him and said directly to Xia Jingui: "Second sister-in-law, my second brother has been possessed by demons since he was a child. He has been prone to madness at every turn. Now it's just a recurrence of the disease. Take good care of him for a while and he will recover. If
Let him go to the south, who knows what will happen? Don't pay attention to him! If he makes a fuss, tie him up, starve him twice, and let him eat seven grains of rice every day to see if he has the connection with Buddha.
Just worry about those messy things!"
After saying that, he bowed his hands to Xia Jingui.
Now Jia Huan has resumed his errands. Although he has not become deputy Qianhu, his position in Baihu is not small, not to mention that he is still in the capital, and he is the brother-in-law of the left governor of Jin Yiwei. Who dares to look down on him?
So Xia Jingui didn't dare to underestimate him and nodded in agreement.
Jia Huan glanced at Baoyu and sneered: "It's just a habit of rich and idle people!"
Baoyu looked ashamed.
Then I extinguished my desire to read Buddhist scriptures and slowly calmed down.
This is something.
But it was said that Wang Ziteng served in Minhai and did a good job. But suddenly one day, the court sent a new official, who was Lin Ruhai's old subordinate. Han Youliang, the former admiral of Jining, was promoted to the post of inspection envoy of the nine provinces, while Wang Ziteng was dismissed.
He was granted a sinecure in the capital and returned to the capital to take up his post.
Although it was rising and falling late at night, Wang Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the emperor did not expand the scope of the attack while continuing to beat the nobles, Wang Ziteng was removed from his official position and returned to the capital to be put aside. This essentially means that the emperor let go of the Wang family.
Speaking of which, Wang Ziteng had a soft landing.
With the help of his connections in Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, he rose through the ranks step by step, and was eventually promoted to the powerful post of Inspector General of the Nine Provinces.
But in the face of this huge turmoil in the royal family, his connections and money were completely useless. Being able to be so stable was just a matter of luck.
Wang Ziteng knew in his heart that it was probably the letters that Sister Feng sent him from time to time that made him slowly wake up, so he was cautious and did not dare to go too far.
The biggest benefactors are probably the Lin brothers whom Sister Feng knows.
In other words, Lin Zhao is the benefactor of their Wang family.
After figuring this out, Wang Ziteng immediately handed over power and returned to Beijing with his son Wang Ren.
Seeing that Wang Ziteng was so knowledgeable, Emperor Xiaode didn't give him any trouble, so he gave Wang Ren a fourth-rank governorship and allowed Wang Ren to retire safely.
This Wang Ren was originally a playboy, but in the past few years he was promoted by the prince, and now he has suffered a big change. For a while, he was completely reborn and calmed down.
Jia She's thoughts about Wang Ziteng's death were quickly put to rest when he heard that Wang Ren had been conferred the title of Dusi of the fourth rank.
As for Jia Lian, he has long since calmed down and has not changed much because of his father-in-law's retirement.
Sister Feng was very caring and treated Jia Lian even more tenderly.
Therefore, Sister Feng soon became pregnant with her third child.
