Seeing that Jia Mu was indeed angry, Jia She did not dare to say anything. He could only mumble and stood aside with a look of unwillingness on his face.
Seeing Jia She step aside, Jia Mu said to Jia Zheng, "This time we are going to Mount Wutai to worship Buddha. Ask the people in the clan if they are willing to go with us. If you want to go, just come together."
Bring it with you."
No matter how slow Jia Zheng is now, he can still feel that there must be a reason, so he follows Jia Mu and says: "I will discuss it with Brother Zhen in a moment. We will get things done tonight, and we will do it early tomorrow morning."
Set off."
Since Jia Zheng sensed something fishy, he stopped delaying.
Jia Mu nodded, and then said: "Say hello to our relatives as well. If they want to go, let them come with us."
Jia Mu is talking about the Wang family. The historians have all gone to Yangzhou to serve as officials, leaving one person who is also the emperor. The emperor will not have to deal with this person, and the Xue family has always lived with the Jia family. Since the Jia family
If the family wants to leave, they will follow.
Then only the Wang family is left. Now Wang Ziteng is in charge of military affairs at the border, and the Wang family has no head of the family. Jia Mu thinks that we can take refuge on our own and take care of his family.
Next, the Jia family became a mess. From top to bottom, from the master to the slaves, everyone began to prepare their bags. Because time was running out, everyone was in a hurry.
Besides, Jia Ke left the Rongguo Mansion and returned to his own Duke of Yan's Mansion.
Qin Keqing was taking his son to talk to Shi Xiangyun at this time.
Qin Keqing was still very afraid of Xiangyun at the beginning, but after getting along with him for a while, he found that Shi Xiangyun was open-minded, never cared about trivial matters, and had no scheming, so he relaxed and got along well with Shi Xiangyun.
When Jia Ke came in, the two people were laughing non-stop and didn't know what they were talking about. Jia Ke's son Jia Zhi was there, looking at the two women in confusion.
The two of them laughed even harder when they saw Jiazhi like this.
"Why are you laughing? Are you so happy?"
Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun saw Jia Ke coming in and hurriedly got up to greet him.
Shi Xiangyun came to Jia Ke, first took off his coat, and then took home clothes to cover him.
Next, Jia Ke sat beside the bed and held Jia Zhi in his arms.
Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun sat down to the left and right of Jia Ke.
Jia Ke held his son and interacted for a while, and then said to Qin Keqing: "Get ready. Everyone in the family will go to Wutai Mountain with the old lady to offer incense tomorrow morning."
After hearing this, Qin Keqing felt surprised. What happened so suddenly?
"Don't you need to prepare for two days? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"You don't need to ask any more questions, just follow along."
When Qin Keqing heard this, she could only agree reluctantly, "The time is a bit tight, I will make arrangements now."
After Qin Keqing finished speaking, she was about to get up and leave. Jia Ke hurriedly stopped her and said, "We have more carriages and horses in our mansion. Later you can go to Rongguo Mansion and ask the old lady if she needs it. If necessary, give some to them. After all,
There are many of them.”
Qin Keqing hurriedly agreed, and then went out to make arrangements, and then the Duke of Yan's mansion began to become lively.
There are relatively few people in Jia Ke's house. Apart from Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun, there are only three concubines.
Qin Keqing was like this, and he still made arrangements until the afternoon when the lanterns were about to be turned on.
Then Qin Keqing took the maid to the old lady of Rongguo Mansion.
At this time, the old lady's house was also in a mess. Yuanyang directed the little maid to keep packing things, saying something and criticizing this.
After Qin Keqing entered the room, no one noticed her arrival, which shows what kind of chaos was in Jia Mu's room.
Mother Jia had nothing to do and was sitting on the bed bored. When she saw Qin Keqing coming, she looked surprised and raised her hand to call her to her side.
"Why are you here? Your house should be in chaos now."
Qin Keqing smiled and replied: "There are few people in our house, those few have been sorted out now. Our uncle asked me to ask the old lady if there is a shortage of carriages and horses here? We still have some more
Yes, come here if necessary."
Jia Mu was quite happy after hearing this. She took Qin Keqing's hand and said, "It's you who cares. Just now, Feng Yatou came to my place to complain about the lack of carriages and horses. Now that you have sent these, they are always good."
That night, there was no peace in Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. These two families had big businesses and not only had to take care of people, but also things.
Otherwise, if this is a loss, then they will have no shame in going to see their ancestors.
At this time, in a remote courtyard of Jia Mansion, Aunt Xue was also directing the servants and maids in the family to pack their things.
And Xue Baochai was there to help her mother with her work.
Only his brother Xue Pan was angry, "What do you think this is? I won't stay in the capital, but I have to let everyone go to Mount Wutai to suffer together."
Xue Pan did not want to leave the capital under any circumstances. Since Jia Ke's status in the world has now undergone fundamental changes, Xue Pan has naturally risen with the tide. Now he is very popular in the capital, and all the dandy boys are surrounding him.
Everyone around him was vying to flatter him, so he didn't want to leave this colorful world at all.
"Shut up. Since the old lady gave the order, we will just follow it. There is no room for you to speak."
Xue Baochai is a very shrewd person. Judging from the actions of the Jia family in the past few days, he has already seen that something is going to happen in the capital. Otherwise, everyone in the Jia family would not be in such a hurry to go out to worship Buddha.
"Brother, haven't you seen everyone from the Jia family, from the master to the slaves, following him? I thought there must be something going on. If we follow together, everything will be fine. If we don't follow, something will happen in the future.
But what’s going on?”
Xue Pan didn't take it seriously after hearing this. You have to know that Jia Ke's situation in the capital is already overwhelming. What can happen to Rongguo Mansion?
But since his mother and sister insisted on going to Mount Wutai with Jia's family, Xue Pan had no choice but to compromise.
That night, Xue Baochai did not return to the Grand View Garden, but slept with his mother so that they could act together the next day.
"Girl Baochai, do you think there will be any risks to the Jia family this time?"
Xue Baochai said confidently: "Mom, don't worry. Looking at the actions of the entire Jia family, I think everything will be fine."
"What do you mean? I've gone out to seek refuge and everything will be fine."
"Mother didn't know something. I think the Jia family found out some clues in advance, so they made this preparation."
When Xue Baochai said this, her eyes flashed with various lights, and then she seemed to be explaining to Aunt Xue, and she seemed to mutter to herself, "Brother Jia is still in control of the situation in the capital. Those people
I didn’t dare to do anything random after thinking about it, but now he has asked the Jia family to go to Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha. It seems that he has some big plan planned. If I guessed correctly, Brother Jia is a little impatient."
If Jia Ke were here, he would definitely introduce Xue Baochai as a confidant. This person has analyzed her own thoughts so thoroughly. Fortunately, she is a woman. If she were a man, she would also be a man of great influence in the court.
Early the next morning, Jia Mu got up early. After breakfast, Yuanyang served Jia Mu, put on travel clothes and helped him out of the gate. Immediately there was a luxurious carriage waiting there.
She did.
Jia Mu got on the car, and the cart was pulled directly from the front of Jia Mu's courtyard to the gate of Rongguo Mansion. At this time, dozens of carts were parked at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and all the masters of Jia Mansion were already waiting in the car.
Jia Zheng, Jia She and Jia Zheng saw Jia Mu's car coming out and hurried forward to the car to salute Jia Mu.
Jia Mu pulled up the car link and said to them: "Why don't you see eldest brother?"
Jia Zheng hurriedly replied: "Brother has been here just now, and now he has gone to the Prime Minister's Yamen to handle official business."
Jia Mu nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Everything is ready, let's set off now."
After saying that, Jia Mu lowered the curtains.
When Jia Zheng saw that Jia Mu had spoken, he quickly ordered the troops to start marching.
So these dozens of large cars and the many maids and women accompanying them left the gate of Rongguo Mansion in a mighty manner. When they arrived at the gate of Duke Yan's Mansion, there were also dozens or twenty cars of Qin Keqing's side.
I've been waiting there for a long time.
So these nearly eighty or ninety large carts were pulled all the way for several miles and headed directly to the west gate.
When they arrived at Ximen, Jia Ke was waiting for them there.
When Jia's mother saw that it was Jia Ke who was coming to see me off, she quickly ordered her troops to stop. Then she found Jia Ke and asked, "Aren't you busy at the Prime Minister's Yamen? Why did you come out to see me off again?"
Jia Ke quickly said with a smile: "My grandson has just finished arranging things at the Prime Minister's Yamen. Now I come here to see off the old lady. After all, the old lady is going to Wutai Mountain to offer incense. If grandson and I don't come to see you off, I'm afraid grandpa will be blamed."
After hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't blame you. It won't be too late for him to be grateful to you in the future."
The two of them said a few more words, and Jia Mu ordered the convoy to move on.
Jia Ke and his soldiers stood by the roadside to see him off.
When the carriages and horses from the Duke of Yan's residence came over, Qin Keqing, Shi Xiangyun and other Jia Ke's people all held up the curtains in their mouths to signal to him.
Jia Ke also smiled and waved his hands, without saying anything, just asking them to quickly follow the team.
When Jia Mu's motorcade left the capital and had traveled more than ten miles, suddenly a cavalry of one or two thousand people came in front.
When these people came to Jia Mu's motorcade, the leading general quickly dismounted.
At this time, Jia Zheng had already got out of the carriage, came to him in three steps and asked: "General, what do you want to do here?"
When the leading general saw that it was Jia Zheng who was coming, he quickly knelt down and saluted him.
"The last general will be transformed into a king, and on the order of the commander-in-chief, we are here to escort him."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng felt relieved. After all, so many people suddenly appeared in front of him, and anyone who didn't know the details would be scared.
Jia Zheng hurriedly helped the young general up, and then said to him: "Then I will trouble the general from now on."
When the young general heard Jia Zheng's politeness, he hurriedly clasped his fists and cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare."
After Jia Zheng comforted the young general, he turned around and came to Jia Mu's car.
"Mother, my eldest brother sent us troops just now to escort us to Mount Wutai."
After hearing this in the car, Jia's mother put down all her worries. She was originally worried about any errands along the way, but now she is safe. With the escort of these cavalry, no one dares to come here without opening their eyes.
