Let's go back in time a little. As Jia Heng led Cai Quan and others towards the palace city, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others in the backyard heard the mother-in-law's narration. They couldn't help being surprised and doubtful, and they were talking in the inner hall.
.
"Brother Heng, what are you doing in the palace city?" Mother Jia said with confusion on her face.
Mrs. Wang thought for a moment and said, "But if you go there to report the case, there are more government offices there."
However, Mrs.
We all rushed to the palace city. I heard that the elder said that Brother Heng was going to be punished for the crime of disrespect."
As soon as these words came out, the female relatives in the inner hall were frightened until their faces turned pale, and even Qin Keqing stood up from her seat.
Jia Mu's face also changed. She held a cane in her hand and said in a calm voice: "Brother Heng, how can he play the drum? It shocked the Holy Emperor. He is so confused."
She, the son and grandson of a side branch, is trying to break Tianer, so Dengwen drum is also easy to beat? As soon as the drum sounded, most of the palace city heard it.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she asked: "Why is this a crime of disrespect?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs.
He was in a high position, made a fuss out of a molehill, had his titles taken away without even a second thought, and was imprisoned for his crimes, implicating three clans."
"That's enough!" Mother Jia frowned, slammed her cane, and shouted, looking at Mrs. Xing with a pair of old eyes.
She didn't want to hear the scary words from this long-tongued woman.
However, Mrs. Xing's words were still like a huge stone hitting the hearts of everyone in the inner hall, setting off a storm.
Not everyone can understand the conflicts in the court, especially in the inner house. For the political trends, most people listen to the explanations of the Jia clan men outside.
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale suddenly, she looked at Jia Mu and said in a calm voice: "Old lady, this..."
Involving three clans sounds too terrifying.
Wouldn't it implicate Xifu and the others? Probably not. Counting from Jia Heng's great-great-grandfather, in terms of blood relationship, he and Rongguo Mansion are already five generations apart.
"Why are you panicking? Brother Heng, he just made a meritorious service and was awarded a title, and he just got the decree. If he takes it back, the court will lose the face?" After all, Jia Mu has seen a lot of storms, and just now she figured out the key.
How can you be knighted in the morning and jailed in the afternoon?
"Madam, I'm not sure what's going on? Let me ask for information." Tan Chun twisted Yingxiu's eyebrows and whispered.
Mrs. Wang nodded and suppressed the thoughts in her heart.
Even if the Dongfu commits any crime of rebellion, it will only implicate the three clans, and will never implicate the Xifu. She was shocked for a moment just now.
"This kind of wealth is not easy to enjoy. With his stubborn temper that causes trouble, he might one day..."
Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes, a cold feeling flashed in her heart.
Jia Mu thought for a while, waved her hand and said, "Girl Feng, let someone go to the palace to inquire and find out what is going on?"
No matter what, it is not a trivial matter for Varden to hear the drum and disturb the peace in the palace. The key is that he does not know what the palace means.
Sister Feng no longer meant to be joking, responded, hurriedly went out, and ordered Wang'er and Xing'er from Zhou Rui's family to ride fast horses to the palace city to inquire about the news.
In the inner hall, Tanchun saw the anxious look on Qin Keqing's face and said with relief: "Sister-in-law Heng, brother Heng is a very well-intentioned person and will not do anything rash.
Upon hearing this, Qin Keqing looked at Tanchun with a pair of bright eyes and nodded.
But Jia She, who was in the outer corridor, was pacing back and forth, with a happy face and a sneer in his heart. He had just been knighted. If he didn't stay quietly, he would be wild when he got his ambition. The drum was also easy to beat. The sound of the drum
The sound was heard, and most of the palace city listened. It shocked the nobles in the palace, and it was useless no matter how much credit they gained.
"Seeing him building a tall building, watching him entertaining guests, watching his building collapse." Jia She hummed a drama in his mouth, feeling extremely happy in his heart, "As for the account book, I spent thousands of taels of silver, but I don't believe that I can't invite Jin Yi.
The master of the government!"
Baoyu, who was not far away, frowned, put down the Book of Songs in his hand, raised his eyes and asked Xiren beside him, "Sister Xiren, what do you mean?"
There was confusion on Xiren's bright face, and she said, "I don't know this either."
This was completely beyond Xiren's cognition.
As time passed, news outside the palace gradually gathered towards Ningguo Mansion.
In the inner hall, Wang'er gasped and said: "Old lady, there are imperial guards guarding the palace and you can't get in. But many officials are rushing to the palace. There are a sea of people watching the excitement outside the palace gate.
There’s everything…”
Jia Mu swayed, and Yuanyang and Li Wan on the side quickly helped Jia Mu.
"What's going on? Didn't it mean that Brother Heng and his cousin were beaten? Why did it cause such a big fuss?"
Jia Mu murmured, her face a little frightened.
Mrs.
, misfortunes and fortunes are unpredictable.”
Listening to Mrs. Xing's words, everyone in the inner hall was silent, and most of their hearts were filled with gloom.
Qin Keqing frowned slightly and said in a clear voice: "Madam, what are you talking about? Even if my husband is not knighted and his brother is beaten, shouldn't he come forward? You are old and can swallow your anger when things happen, shouldn't you?
Do you want others to be like you?"
The beauty's voice was clear and sweet. Although it was scolding, it was not overbearing.
"Baozhu, Ruizhu, send the eldest wife back!" Qin Keqing, with every inch of her crystal jade face covered with frost, said in a clear voice: "There is no place in my house for people like this who can cause trouble to the uncle!"
Mrs.
My son, look at how big you are!
"Madam, please." Baozhu and Ruizhu walked up to Mrs. Xing with a cold face and said.
Mrs. Xing gave a cold voice and said to Wang Shanbao's family: "Go back home."
Seeing this scene, Jia Mu's face was a little ugly. She felt her ears ringing and she was dizzy. She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Keqing and said: "Brother Heng, daughter-in-law, don't be anxious and wait for the news. I've been with you all the time. You sisters."
If you are hungry, please accompany the eldest wife back to Xifu for dinner first."
As he said that, he looked at Daiyu, Tanchun and a few others.
Daiyu's starry eyes flickered, looking at the graceful and slender beauty, thinking, this Grandma Qin may look gentle and peaceful, but when it comes to the safety of her husband, she is also very straightforward. She is really... not a family.
, don’t enter a house.
"Old lady, I'm not very hungry." Tan Chun said softly.
Daiyu also said: "Grandma, I ate a little late in the morning, but I'm not hungry now."
After Qin Keqing finished speaking, the worry on her pink face did not diminish. She stared blankly at the door with her bright autumn eyes. After hearing what Jia Mu said, she said softly: "Old lady, I asked the cook to bring some snacks."
, let the sisters eat some first to satisfy their hunger."
Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Heng's daughter-in-law is a virtuous person."
Brother Heng's daughter-in-law is virtuous, but Mrs. Xing, who just had a conflict with Jia Heng...
Obviously, Jia Mu took Qin Keqing's side this time.
In the original work, the first-class great-granddaughter-in-law who was favored by Jia Mu has now become the grandson-daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Wang didn't get up and leave, she just raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Keqing, and a thought came to her mind, "This Qin's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Feng Yatou..."
After a while, the bead curtain made a "clatter" sound, and Aunt Cai ordered the maid to pick up plates of preserves, snacks and other items and put them on the small table.
Everyone was hungry, so they picked up some and used some. As time passed, their moods calmed down.
At this time, I suddenly heard the voice of the boy coming from the courtyard, "I'm back, the uncle is back."
Zhao'er rushed into the inner hall, out of breath, and said: "Old lady, madam, Uncle Heng has arrived in the front hall."
"What should I say?" Jia Mu put down the tea in her hand, stood up suddenly, and asked.
"I have nothing to do, uncle. I have an imperial edict in my hand."
"Could it be a punishment..." Mrs. Wang said softly, suddenly realizing something, she hurriedly covered her mouth, but she felt that Mrs. Qin on the side seemed to be trying to gouge her out with her eyes, and she couldn't help but frown, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.
This Dongfu...she will never come here again.
At this time, Sister Feng, accompanied by Ping'er, entered the house and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, second wife, and brother Heng are coming over now. Well, where is the eldest wife?"
Sister Feng had just sent someone to investigate the news and had been waiting in the front hall, so she was not aware of the quarrel between Qin Keqing and Mrs. Xing in the backyard.
"The eldest lady may have gone back on her own when she got hungry." Jia's mother smoothed her words and concealed her past.
Sister Feng's beautiful face moved slightly, thoughtfully. At this moment, the woman outside the door said:
"Uncle Heng is here."
"Hurry up and greet her." Jia Mu said in shock, and a group of warblers and swallows behind her stood up. However, as soon as they reached the door, they saw Jia Heng already under the eaves of the corridor, holding the imperial edict in his hand and looking calm.
"Brother Heng," Jia Mu called.
At this moment, pairs of eyes turned over, as if going back in time, staring at the imperial edict in Jia Heng's hand again.
It's just that the hope before has now turned into fear.
I was afraid I would hear some bad news from the silent young man.
Jia She and Baoyu, who were under the eaves of the corridor, also cast their gazes.
"What happened? How did you cut down the Dengwen drum?" Jia Mu asked, her lips moving.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The old lady knew that my cousin who was serving in the Wucheng Army and Horses Division was beaten. I went to Faden to hear the drum and cry out for injustice, and the Holy Spirit assigned me the job of the Wucheng Army and Horses Department.
, a meal was given. By the way, have you all had lunch? But, dear, this is the lunch given by the Holy One. The Queen made a box of peach blossom cakes and brought them over for you to try."
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Feng Wan, Tan Xi: “…”
Jia She, Baoyu: "???"
While Jia Heng was speaking, he walked closer with a food box containing peach cakes.
Everyone was surprised, digesting the information, and felt their emotions agitated.
"Isn't the Wucheng Army and Horse Department, our old relative, Qiu Liang in charge? Brother Heng has become his Shangguan?" Sister Feng blinked her eyes and said with a sweet smile: "Old ancestor, that Qiu Liang's wife last time
My son also said that her husband does not have a superior officer, so although he is the second in command, he is not much worse than the first in command."
Because Sister Feng is in charge of the Xifu family, some old relatives and friends from the Jia family are welcome and sent to and fro, so she naturally needs to be familiar with her. She has met Qiu Liang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, a few times.
Jia She, who was in the corridor, listened to what Jia Heng said when he heard the words.
"Qiu Liang was responsible for wreaking havoc on banditry in the east city. He has been questioned by the Holy Emperor and dismissed from his post. I will go to the Wucheng Military and Horse Department to announce the decree to him later!" Jia Heng's face suddenly turned cold.
Senran said, and suddenly cast an aggressive gaze at Jia She, his eyes were stern, like a tiger and a wolf looking for someone to eat, he chuckled and said: "Sir, I heard that I am familiar with Qiu Liang, how about you?
Will you help me go out and announce the decree to Qiu Liang?"
Everyone: ""
Jia She was stared at by this tiger-like gaze, and couldn't help but trembled. Facing everyone's gaze, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Brother Heng, you misunderstood, I'm just talking to him."
How can we be familiar with each other after drinking a few times?"
Jia Heng said lightly: "If you're not familiar with it, you're not familiar with it. But if you don't go back to check the accounts, what are you doing standing here? This autumn tiger is scorching people. If you catch a stroke again and fall in the courtyard, it will be bad. Bi
Son, let me send you back to have a rest."
When Jia She heard this, his face turned red and white, and his heart was entangled with anger and fear, biting his heart like a poisonous snake.
Just because Jia Hengcai's words were too shocking, Qiu Liang was dismissed from his post and will be questioned. Will he be implicated? He lost his bearings...
In the room, listening to Jia Heng's words of "seeing off guests", everyone's faces showed a strange look.
Just now, Grandma Qin drove Mrs. Xing away, and now Uncle Heng is driving the old man away again. They are indeed a couple.
Of course, this is not surprising. Both sides dislike each other. No one can accuse Jia Heng of being frivolous. After all, before he was knighted, Jia Heng dared to scold Jia She in the ancestral hall like a father lecturing his son, and even scolded Mrs. Xing.
For a bitch.
If gods stand in the way, they will kill gods; if they stand in the way of Buddha, they will kill Buddha.
Now, at least it's better. Instead of direct scolding, I'm using insinuations instead.
Mainly because of Jia She's behavior, jumping left and right like a clown, even the girls from the Jia family found it somewhat... disgusting.
After all, Jia's mother still felt sorry for her son. She frowned and tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's so hot today. You should go back and rest early. Brother Heng is fine here, so you don't need to worry about it."
"
The worried Jia She looked ugly, said goodbye to Jia Mu, greeted the boy, and headed to the front yard.
He will never come to this Dongfu again in this life!
Watching Jia She leave, Jia Mu sighed, looked at Jia Heng, and said: "Brother Heng, if you care about me, please... leave him some dignity."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Sister Rufeng pursed her lips, and Danfeng's eyes were full of shock.
Because this is a sign of weakness, it means that the old lady has already regarded Jia Heng as an equal in the dialogue.
But when I thought about it again, I realized that it was normal. Now Jia Heng, relying on his own efforts, had been knighted and respected by the palace.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Old lady, dignity is not given by others, it is earned by oneself. This time my cousin was beaten, Qiu Liang cannot escape the blame! And Qiu Liang,
Niu Jizong and others are hanging out with him again. If he really has no involvement, who would believe it? I am not targeting him. The second master is an upright and upright man. I have said something harsh? You always mean it.
Like a bright mirror, it is a drum that should not be beaten hard, but since you spoke softly today, I also respect your old age and virtue, but I really can’t bear to say it, whether he is jumping up and down, or having strange yin and yang, as long as he does not use means to cause harm.
Me, I just take it as a joke! But there is an ugly saying that I have to say at the beginning. Now that I am the head of the Jia clan, I must make plans for the extension of the clan, otherwise I will be sorry for my ancestors! The current situation in the court is so turbulent that if he doesn’t know
If you act carefully and do something detrimental to the interests of the Jia people, it will be disrespectful to him. I will help him face it! Don't say you didn't predict what you said!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the inner hall was shocked. Looking at the young man in brocade clothes with stern eyebrows and looking at God, they were speechless for a long time.
Sister Feng's willow-leaf eyebrows and red phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed and bright. Two blushes appear on the face of the young woman who is as gorgeous as a peach pistil in February. The joints of the jade hands holding the handkerchief are a little white.
The slender legs in Luo Kuanzhong were pressed together. She seemed to have drank too much tea just now, and she seemed to...have an urgent need to urinate.
Li Wan's elegant and graceful face also showed a strange color. Looking at the young man, he could only feel what kind of person he was.
These words are reasonable and measured, soft and hard.
Mother Jia's face changed, and she sighed heavily. The mandarin duck behind her quickly helped her, but her duck-oval face also showed her beauty.
Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes and pondered over and over the boy's words in her mind, especially those about Baoyu's father.
This was the first time that Jia Heng expressed his attitude towards Jia She in front of Jia's mother and other female relatives, which could be regarded as an initial consensus building.
Of course, with Jia She's level of seeking death, how could he stop?
This kind of person will not realize that he is wrong unless he puts a knife to his neck.
How to change this kind of person?
There is only death!
Tan Chunying looked at the bright eyes under her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were radiant, and the young man's words were swirling in her heart.
He is not decent, I will help him be decent!
Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!
Suddenly a sentence recorded in the history books appeared in my mind. Although it was a bit inappropriate, I couldn't think of anything good at the moment. In response to this powerful momentum, it was said by Taizu of the former Ming Dynasty:
"We will drink together from golden bottles, but we will not spare each other with a bare sword!"
Under Dai Yuxiao's smoky eyebrows, a pair of bright starry eyes flickered, also falling on the young man's face, and his mood became much calmer.
She has gradually understood this young man's temperament, and does not find it strange.
