The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 460
Jia Zheng supported Shi Nai's arm, and pulled him towards Rongguo Mansion.

The two entered the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zheng said to him: "The old lady has been thinking about you all these years, but because of the things that happened back then, he couldn't get over her face, so she often told me to take care of you, but You don't come to me either, so I can't think about it."

Shi Nai said with shame: "Back then, my aunt wanted to leave more property to Yun Yatou and her mother. It was only because our family was not as rich as yours, so I was a bit stingy, which made my aunt a little displeased. I don’t come to see my aunt very much anymore, now that I think about it, I feel very regretful, I came here today to make a marriage arrangement for Xiangyun, and to see my aunt make amends for what happened back then.”

Jia Zheng already knew about Shi Xiangyun, and when Jia's mother came back last night, she told him the ins and outs.

Jia Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and his family lived very comfortably now that the power was in the hands of the government and the people.Among the four major families, the Wang family is supported by Prince Teng, and it can be regarded as the heyday.

Only the Xue family has no pillars anymore, but since they came to their own family, they have been given them to rely on, and now they are living well in Beijing. Ke's relationship still allows them to have both.Although the business in the shop is said to be bad, there are still some subsidies from other places, and there is also some income every year, so it is not considered to be unable to make ends meet.

Only historians have only two marquis positions of Guangtong, but they have no income, and they are already unable to make ends meet. Now I heard that even Shi Xiangyun has to stay up all night doing needlework.It can be seen that the distress of his family.

Jia Zheng has already decided that after coming this time, he will ask Jia Ke to give Shi Nai some activities so that he can have a real job and make life easier for the family.

Shi Nai and Jia Zheng just chatted like this while walking to Jia's mother's yard, but to be honest, the relationship that was somewhat unfamiliar before has gradually improved.After all, blood is thicker than water, and the bloodlines of the two of them are not far apart.

When the two came to Jiamu's yard, Yuanyang had been waiting there for a long time.

Although Yuanyang had never met Shi Nai, looking at the gentleman in python robe accompanied by Jia Zheng, he thought he was the old lady's own nephew.

So Yuanyang hurried forward a few steps, and wished the two masters a blessing, "Master has come, the old lady knows that Master Hou is coming, and has been waiting inside."

Hearing what he said, the two hurriedly walked a few steps to the courtyard. As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, they saw an old nanny. Our lady has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

As soon as Shi Nai heard it, he knew that this old nanny was brought over from their Bowling Marquis's house as a dowry, and he was considered an old man to him, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Jia Zheng went further and came to the door.At this moment, the door curtain was opened, and an old lady with silver hair came out from inside.

Jia Zheng and Shi Nai saw that it wasn't Jia's mother, who else?

It turned out that Jia's mother had heard the voices talking in the yard, so she couldn't wait to come out of the house, wanting to find some nephews she hadn't seen for many years.

When Jia's mother saw Shi Nai, she couldn't help but burst into tears, which kept falling.

When Shi Nai saw such an old lady, even his hard-hearted heart had melted, so he walked a few steps and knelt down in front of Jia Mu, hugging her legs and crying.

Jia Mu also hugged Shi Nai's head and kept stroking it, the tears on her face never stopped.

Jia Zheng looked at the two of them from the side, weeping with joy after reuniting after a long absence.Fearing that something might be wrong with Jia Mu's health, she hurried up to persuade her, "Mom, since the second brother is here now, don't be so sad anymore, hurry up and sit down in the room to talk."

After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia's mother wiped away her tears, helped Shi Nai up and said, "When I'm old, I cry all the time. How come you young people are imitating me."

Shi Nai replied embarrassingly: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that I am not young anymore. I am afraid I will have a grandson in a few years."

Mother Jia stood there and thought about it, isn't it?Jia Zheng now has three grandsons.But his eldest son, Jia She, had a difficult time descending from descendants, so he also had a granddaughter.

So Jia Mu smiled and said to Shi Nai, "I am confused."

So the three of them entered Jia Mu's room surrounded by all the maids and women.

After arriving at Jiamu's main room, Jiamu sat down in the center, accompanied by Jia Zheng and Shi Nai.

After everyone was done, Jia's mother asked Shi Nai, "How did you find that Taoist Zhang? You even asked me for the marriage."

Shi Nai was a little embarrassed, but felt that it was better to explain this matter clearly, "Don't be afraid to make my aunt laugh, the mansion is really hard to live on now. Now the family still has some fields and some income every year, the rest depends on Those salaries issued by the imperial court."

Mother Jia also sighed a little when she heard this, thinking that her Rongguo Mansion was similar to theirs a few years ago, and she also started to live without money.

Shi Nai paused for a moment, and then said: "I originally wanted to marry Xiangyun to a wealthy family, so that I could help our family. But I haven't had much contact with those dignitaries in the court these years, so I use I bought a treasure from our mansion and gave it to Daoist Zhang, asking him to recommend it, but unexpectedly it was sent to our mansion."

When Jia Mu heard what he said, she frowned, and asked displeasedly, "Could it be that you gave that thing away."

Shi Nai said helplessly: "It's not that you don't know the things in our mansion. Almost all of them were lost back then, and only this one is left. When my father died, he had arranged for a personal soldier to leave me a message. My son said that it would only be sold when it was a last resort. I thought that the mansion was at the end of its rope, so I used this treasure to tell Taoist Zhang that as long as I could find a wealthy family for Xiangyun, I could help In the mansion, this treasure belongs to him."

You must know that this jade gourd is very important. In order to obtain this item, Jiamu's elder brother Shi Laohou offended two or three princes of the imperial court.

Because of this, Lord Shi's position in the imperial court was somewhat unstable, and many people had already become hostile to Lord Shi under the shuttle of the three princes.

What's so great about this gourd that it makes so many dignitaries think about it?
To say this, I am afraid it is a bit difficult to say.At that time, the Supreme Emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and his father was in charge of the world.

As soon as the emperor came to the throne, he wanted to build the imperial mausoleum. The same is true for the emperor Taizong, who chose a place of ten thousand years for himself in the west mountain of the capital.

Everything was fine when the imperial mausoleum was built, but when it was halfway through the construction, an ancient tomb was dug out at the bottom when the dedication hall was being built.

This surprised the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty at that time. You must know that every time the imperial tomb was built, the Ministry of Industry would investigate in advance.How is it possible to find other people's tombs underground?

In the end, Emperor Taizong was arbitrary and had the tomb dug clean, and then sent a mage to suppress the owner of the tomb.

This matter fell on Lord Shi Laohou, so Shi Laohou had no choice but to dig up the tomb passage with his soldiers. Fearing that there would be any danger, Lord Shi Laohou asked the soldiers to use live chickens and ducks to test first.

It turned out that he was safe and sound, so Old Master Shi led the man into the tomb.When they entered the tomb, they saw nothing in the entire tomb except the coffin of the tomb owner.

Master Shi Lao Hou asked people to open the coffin, and when he looked at you, he was stunned.

It turned out that there was a stunning woman lying in the coffin, who had been buried here for an unknown number of years, but she was so lifelike.She seemed to be asleep, but her cheeks were still rosy.

Everyone has never heard of this matter, has never seen it, and is a little at a loss.From now on, Lord Shi Laohou would play in person, and a jade gourd was found in the woman's bosom.

This jade gourd seemed to be made of ordinary jade, nothing unusual, but as soon as this gourd left the corpse, the corpse quickly rotted, turning into a pair of dead bones in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Master Shi realize that this jade gourd is a rare treasure.

So Old Master Shi became selfish and carried the jade gourd in his arms.He thought he was doing it strictly, but he didn't want to be seen by the soldiers next to him.

So this gossip spread, and several old princes who were not young at the time, got the news, and immediately prepared generous gifts to pay a visit to Master Shi Laohou's mansion.

The purpose of these princes is the same, that is, to buy this jade gourd with a lot of money, and at that time, it was like Mr. Shi Laohou made a promise that as long as Mr. Shi Laohou sold this jade gourd, the future glory and wealth of the historian Just put it on them.

Unexpectedly, Master Shi Laohou had invited an expert to see this jade gourd long ago.One of the cultivators was astonished when he saw the green gourd, and finally told Mr. Shi that it was a rare treasure that could bring people back to life and ascend to heaven.

Now that Master Shi knew how powerful this treasure was, how could he sell it to these princes to be buried with him, so he sternly refused.

Therefore, these people were annoyed, and they began to fight against Master Shi in court, and would use political pressure to force Master Shi to sell this treasure.

Even the Emperor Taizong at that time saw that he was not young and peeped at this treasure, but he had a good reputation and could not leave a bad name for one thing, so these people isolated Mr. Shi in the court. Marquis.

Fortunately, Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo at that time, still had some ability. There were many former students and old officials in each army. No robbery.

That's why Shi Laohou also kept this treasure, but it also left a root of disaster.

More than ten years later, the Tatars went south, so all the courtiers recommended Master Shi Laohou as the front. The old Houye could only take 5000 soldiers to the north to meet the Tatars, but was surrounded by a solid mountain.

At that time, Master Shi Laohou persisted in Tushan for 7 days and 7 nights. Almost all the 5000 infantry were wiped out, and three to 4000 Tatars were killed or wounded.

As a result, Mr. Hou waited for the reinforcements to arrive, and was finally forced to commit suicide.

After Master Shi's death, the rich and powerful were still thinking about this jade gourd. As a result, this incident annoyed Rong Guogong Jia Daishan.

He was furious in the court. The emperor at the time felt a little headache seeing this situation. After all, the civil and military officials and the princes were also wronged. Just because of one thing, the current general was killed and 5000 soldiers were lost. Ma, this can't be justified anywhere.

In the end, the emperor still came out to make the mud, and the court announced that the item was passed down among the descendants of Master Shi, and as long as they didn't make a move, no one could take it away, so he appeased Duke Rong Jia Daishan.

Later, when Mother Jia heard about this incident, she began to be a little jealous of this thing, thinking that it was a bit evil, so she asked these two nephews to present the things to change their official positions. At that time, Old Master Shi told him not to sell this green gourd until the end of the mountain.

Therefore, in the past few years, although everyone no longer mentioned the matter of the jade gourd, the official positions of the two historians have not been changed, and they can only live with the two empty tubes.
