Chapter 87 Ask Jia Rui about the mirror

 His kneeling scared Jia Lian very much.

He kept it in mind every day in his previous life: Never provoke the elderly - if something happens and gets touched by a porcelain piece, then he might have to pay how much money.

But this trembling Uncle Jia knelt in front of him, and it would be impossible not to help him.

Jia Lian gritted his teeth and quickly smiled and helped Mr. Jia up:

"Grandmaster, don't pay the birthday of my younger generation. Please get up. Oh, I'm at least getting up first. Everything is easy to talk about. We have to take into account the decency of our Jia family."

Jia Dairu was helped up by Jia Lian and pressed him on a chair, with only his sleeve covering his face, and she cried and said, "I have lost all my face in my life, and even my ancestors have lost all my face.

Before I went to the pawn shop today, I only thought that I was saving my only grandson’s life as a cover for shame. My ancestors would have to forgive me if they did not end the future. Now, I see, isn’t this even my ancestors not tolerate me in the world?”

Jia Lian couldn't believe anything. The one who went to his house to steal things was the old corrupt scholar, and he had to temporarily borrow a room in the shopkeeper Qi, shut down everyone, and then said:

"The old man has just become ruthless. It's easy to talk about his family's affairs when they are closed."

Jia Dairu still used his sleeves to cover his face, and his voice could not be choked:

"When I was three years old, I read "using people, you must seek clearly. If you don't ask, you will steal." Later, I read the articles of the saints and understood the principle of "the wife must not help herself"

I am not a bad person, but my grandson is seriously ill and so sad that he is here."

Jia Lian heard it loudly and wanted to jump up and shout, "You speak to me."

Bear with it, or say:

"Grandmaster, I'm not aware of my knowledge. I really don't understand what you said, "

Seeing that Jia Lian was sincere, Jia Dairu had to try to speak more casually so that Jia Lian could finally understand the whole story.

.

It turned out that Jia Rui was detained for feces and urine. When he went home, he said he had "fallen into the toilet". He fell ill the next day. From then on, he felt swelling in his heart, tasteless in his mouth, as soft as cotton, eyes like vinegar, burning at night, often tired during the day, drowning in the semen, coughing with phlegm and blood, and often indulging in his dreams and talking nonsense.

Jia Dairu lost his son in his early years, and only one grandson was under his knees. He was so anxious that he asked for medical treatment in every possible way. He took medicine such as cinnamon, aconite, turtle shell, Ophiopogon japonicus, and saccharomyceae. After taking dozens of pounds, he did not see any movement. Seeing that it was getting worse, the doctor called it "Dujin Tang".

Where did Jia Dairu have the money to buy such good ginseng? So he asked Mrs. Wang to go to Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang then ordered Sister Feng to weigh two taels of ginseng for him.

I don’t know if Sister Feng has nowhere to look for or does not want to find her. Anyway, she only collected some slags yesterday and ordered the servant to send her to Jia Dairu. She passed the message: "This is what the wife asked to send, and it will never be there again in the future." She completely cut off the way for Jia Dairu to ask for help again.

At this time, Jia Rui himself knew that it was not good. He was so desperate that he would not take any medicine. Seeing that there was no "Dugan Soup", he cried and made a fuss.

Jia Dairu couldn't, so he cried while holding his terminally ill grandson.

Today, Jia Rui woke up and suddenly took out a pair of red gold hairpins, saying that they were entrusted by others to him. Now he is eager to help him, so he asked Jia Dairu to take it as a pawn for the money and come back to buy good ginseng and decoct medicine to help him.

When Jia Dairu saw that the red gold hairpin was finely crafted and of sufficient quality, he seemed to be a wealthy woman. He was definitely not a good woman. He was afraid that it would be a thief, so he grabbed Jia Rui and asked about the origin of the gold hairpin.

Jia Rui burst into tears and insisted that it was placed by others. Now that he is terminally ill, if Jia Dairu refuses to save him, he will die a little, and this family will be out of place.

Jia Dairu had no choice but to think about it, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, intending to pawn the pair of golden hairpins first. When Jia Rui's life is saved, he will redeem the pair of golden hairpins no matter what, and then he will return it to others.

He was originally the young concubine of Jia Yuan, Duke Rong. Although he was not rich in his life, he could live a life of food and clothing without worries. He never went to a pawn shop. Now that he is in his seventies, he has to go to pawn the golden hairpin with unknown origins in the pawn shop. He felt really nervous and ashamed.

Therefore, the pawnshop shopkeeper talked to him for a long time. Although he was anxious that Jia Rui was waiting for medicine to treat the disease at home, he had to deal with it patiently and humbly, hoping that others would not ask about the origin of the pair of golden hairpins.

When Jia Lian and his men broke into the pawnshop, Jia Dairu, who had lived for more than 70 years, felt instantly: The incident happened!

At this time, he took out two red gold hairpins from his arms, held them to Jia Lian in both hands, and kept crying and begging:

"Lian Er, I don't want to give you this old face. I just want you to show mercy. I really have to force you, otherwise I would never do such a thing that would insult my ancestors."

Seeing that he was pitiful, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Obviously, it was not Jia Dairu who went to his yard to steal things, but Jia Rui, so he still had to ask questions.

The most urgent task is to find Jia Rui and ask about the whereabouts of the mirror.

So Jia Lian took the golden hairpin, put it in his arms, and then spoke to comfort Jia Dairu and Taoism:

"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding.

Let me tell the truth that this pair of red gold hairpins is from my room. I have to wear them out to meet people during the Chinese New Year, so I really made me anxious.

No matter which one of the golden hairpins was taken out, since they can be retrieved, they will solve my problem. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble for everyone.

The most important thing in front of me is to save Tianxiang’s life first. When he gets it, he will naturally tell me who got it from my house.”

Jia Dairu hurriedly said:

"Let's go back and ask now, let's go back and ask now.

If he doesn't say anything, I will force him to say it even if I beat him to death."

.

Jia Lian opened the door, called Guo Xing'er, and gave him a silver note of thirty taels:

"You should go to the ginseng shop quickly, pick up the fine ginseng on the original branches that are thick with your fingers, and mix them with two taels. After buying, you can send it to my grandfather's residence to find me.

If there is a medicine shop on the way, I would also invite a doctor in the hall to come."

Xing'er had been pouting and was unhappy. Seeing that Jia Lian was calm when he was speaking, he didn't dare to be more arrogant. He quickly responded one by one and ran away.

Jia Lian asked Manager Qi to come in again and told him not to spread the matter out of the slightest.

How well-behaved was the shopkeeper? He immediately swears and swore them, and by the way, he also made poisonous oaths for Chaofeng and the servants in the shop.

Jia Lian smiled and rewarded ten taels of silver for tea, prayed to the shopkeeper for his gratitude, and followed behind and bowed repeatedly.

Jia Lian ordered someone to hire two sedan chairs, and went straight to his house to see Jia Rui with Jia Dairu.

.

I got out of the sedan chair and entered the yard. Before I could walk to the front of the door, I heard Jia Dairu's wife screaming heart-wrenchingly:

"Ruier! My Ruier!"

Then he burst into tears.

Jia Lian stomped his feet.

It's over and it's over and I didn't have time to ask where my mirror was!
