Early the next morning, Jia Zheng went to Jia Mu's house to pay his respects. When he came, Mrs. Wang and Mrs.
I had a tofu skin bun and some eggplant (the first famous dish in the Red House). Although there were many wives and maids waiting on me inside and outside, they didn't even cough.
After Jia Mu finished eating, she took away the leftovers. A maid brought tea on a small tea tray, and someone else brought a basin. Jia Mu rinsed her mouth and washed her hands. Then the maid brought tea again.
Fang is having tea.
Jia Zheng then stepped forward to ask his mother whether she was well and how much she had eaten. Jia Mu asked him to get up and sit next to her. Jia Zheng sat next to Jia Mu, and instead of chatting about home affairs, he kept talking about everything.
Seeing that it was time to go to the Yamen, there was no rush. Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang had not had breakfast yet, but seeing Jia Zheng talking non-stop, they had no choice but to sit aside and laugh with them.
When Jia Mu saw that Jia Zheng was no longer his usual self, she knew that he had secret matters to discuss with her, and there were others who were difficult to talk to. Jia Mu went to greet her, and Mrs. Wang Er said: "You go, let us mother and son talk freely."
Son." Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang then stood up and chatted a few more words before leaving.
Jia Mu then said to the maids and daughters-in-law in the house: "It's very boring with so many people in the house. You all should go out and relax. What does it matter if my son is here?" So the maids and wives all left, and Jia Mu
At this time, he winked at one of the women. The woman understood, and after exiting the door, she found someone to help the maid waiting outside the door. However, she sat on a stone bench more than ten steps outside the door.
Above. This woman was a maid who was married to Jia Mu. She was betrothed to a steward named Lai. She must be old and no longer in charge, but she still goes to Jia Mu every day to pay her respects. She is the most loyal to Jia Mu. Jia Mu is the most loyal.
Many things were done by her. Because of her loyalty, Jia Mu recommended her eldest son to be the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion, and also recommended her second son to be the chief steward of the Ningguo Mansion.
Seeing that there was no one in the house, Jia's mother said to Jia Zheng, "What's the important matter? How big of a fight are you going to do?"
Jia Zheng said: "But there is a big matter that I need to discuss with my mother, and in the end my mother has to make the decision."
"What's the matter? Come and let me hear it." Jia Mu said.
Jia Zheng then said: "The eldest son Jia Ke, born to Aunt Zhou, has recently been born in a village of auspiciousness, but he is afraid that others will know that his life will be harmed before he has grown up, so he is so abrupt, mother forgives him."
"Oh, speaking of my aunt this week, she was trained by me. She is a worry-free one. It's just Brother Ke. What auspiciousness can a small person like him have? Don't bluff me." Jia Mu said.
Jia Zhenglian said he didn't dare, so he combined the comments made by Li Wenbin, Lin Zhixiao and Chief Tao about Jia Ke during the martial arts practice in Jia Ke's study during the day yesterday, as well as the fact that when he interrogated Jia Ke last night, Jia Ke said that he learned things in his dreams.
I had a chat with Jia Mu.
"Isn't this auspicious? Ke'er is either an immortal preaching in a dream, or she has awakened Su Hui. It seems that she has a good background." Jia Zheng concluded excitedly.
But there was no trace of happiness on Jia Mu's face, instead her brows were furrowed. Seeing Jia Mu's look like this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but change his face. He knew that his mother was valued by two generations of Rong Guogong, and she was well-informed. Even if her mother was like this
There must be something wrong with the solemn look on his face.
Jia Zheng asked hurriedly: "Is there something wrong with my mother?"
Jia's mother said to him: "Although you are now in charge of the family and have passed your thirties, you have grown up in grand events and do not know the evil ways. There were no ghosts or monsters in the founding of the country. You say he is auspicious."
How do we know he is not an evil spirit coming to harm our family?"
Jia Zheng was frightened out of his wits after hearing Jia Mu's words. He had forgotten the excitement when he first arrived. He hurriedly gave Jia Mu a lot of gifts and asked Jia Mu to make the decision and come up with a solution.
Seeing Jia Zheng's panic, Jia's mother scolded him: "Why panic? The sky hasn't fallen yet. Even if it's an evil spirit, I have my own way, so you don't have to panic."
When Jia Zheng heard that Jia Mu had a solution, he felt relieved and quickly asked Jia Mu what he could do.
Jia Mu said unhurriedly: "In a moment, go to Qingxu Temple to invite Taoist Zhang. He is your father's substitute. At that time, the Duke of the country had thought of this. He was afraid that something bad would happen to our family.
I couldn't find him anywhere, so I pressed this foreshadowing. However, Taoist Zhang has been practicing more and more over the years. The late emperor personally called him the "Great Illusion Immortal", and now he is in charge of the Taoist Seal Department, and he is also called "The Final Immortal".
"It's different from the past. When you go, you have to pay tribute to your son and nephew. Don't neglect it."
So Jia Zheng was about to invite him, but Jia Mu stopped him and said, "Why are you in a hurry? I have something else to say. If you invite Taoist Zhang, you don't have to come to see me first. You can hide in the study behind your back and wait for your elder brother."
Let him take a look after school before he comes to my place."
Jia Zheng agreed and went out without even bothering to salute.
After a while, Grandma Lai came in and reported to Jia Mu: "The master has left the house."
Jia Mu said nothing, just leaned on the soft couch and nodded.
Aunt Lai also stood waiting for Jia Mu's instructions. After a while, Jia Mu said: "Zheng'er will pick up Taoist Zhang in a while. Please arrange it so that no one knows about it. Let the maids in the house stop talking nonsense."
"Mama Lai quickly agreed, turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Besides, Jia Zheng left Jia Mu's place and went straight to the front yard. He called the boy to prepare the car for immediate use. Soon someone came to report that the car was ready. Without any entourage, Jia Zheng came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion alone.
When you get a car, ask the driver to go to Qingxu Temple.
Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of Qingxu Temple. Seeing that it was Jia Zheng, the judge at the door did not dare to neglect him, so he invited Jia Zheng to come in and have some tea. Jia Zheng had no intention of drinking tea, so he asked him to report to Taoist Zhang and said that Jia Zheng wanted to see him.
.
Not long after, Taoist Zhang came in and saw this Taoist with a white hair and a boyish face. If it weren't for his white hair, he would have thought he was a thirty-year-old man. Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Taoist Zhang hurriedly went to help him. The two sat down, and Taoist Zhang said first
: "Infinite Life Buddha! Our ancestors always live a long and healthy life?"
Jia Zheng said: "The old lady is in good health."
Taoist Zhang said: "I don't know why the second master came to watch."
Jia Zheng said: "There has been something strange happening in the house recently. The old lady can't determine it, so I asked Uncle Zhang to go and take a look."
"Could it be that the house is contaminated with something unclean?" Taoist Zhang said with a frown.
Jia Zheng said: "Hey, I don't know if it's a disaster or a blessing." Then he told Taoist Zhang about Jia Ke's story.
"It's a bit weird to say this. It's okay that I've been away from the mansion for decades. I'm going home today to take a look." After finishing speaking, Taoist Zhang asked Jia Zheng to wait and said he was going to the inner hall to get some food.
A magic weapon.
Not long after, Taoist Zhang came out and went outside with Jia Zheng. Taoist priests passing by saw him and gave way to him one after another.
The two of them left Qingxu Temple, got in the car, and headed to Rongguo Mansion.
When they arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, the carriage did not stop and went straight in through the west corner gate. Jia Zheng and Taoist Zhang got off the bus.
Jia Zheng said to Taoist Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, please wait a moment. Before the old lady asked me to go, she told us to first take a look at the evil obstacle in a secluded place to see if it is a human being or a monster before we go to see her."
Taoist Zhang did not refuse and followed Jia Zheng to a utility room opposite the study. After lunch, he took a break and saw Jia Ke and Jia Lian leaving the study for a walk in the garden.
Jia Zheng hurriedly showed Jia Ke's finger to Taoist Zhang. Taoist Zhang first recited a mantra and drew a talisman, and then moved his middle finger to the center of his eyebrows.
Jia Zheng, who was standing next to him, felt that there was a divine light in Taoist Zhang's eyes and he could not look at it.
Taoist Zhang used his divine light to look at Jia Ke's body. He felt that there was a red light on Jia Ke's body. The red light was different from the haze seen elsewhere, but like fire, surrounding him, and the place he passed was like a huge cloud.
As the sun passes through the sky, the splendor is indescribable. You can also see that the air on the top of his head is colorful, and its shape is like an umbrella covering Jia Ke's head.
Taoist Zhang wanted to look again, but his perception was as if he were looking at the sun with his eyes. His glasses hurt so much that his eyes started to bleed unconsciously.
