The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 768 Five Years
The news of Jia Zhu's death spread quickly in the capital. As the first relative of the emperor to die, Jia Zhu was naturally treated with a high standard.

Qin Tianjian's Yin and Yang Division came to choose a date, and decided to stop the spirit for 49 days.Three days later, the funeral will be held and the obituary will be delivered.One hundred Danba Zen monks recited the Sutra of Chaodu, 99 Quanzhen Taoist priests cleared their grievances and cleansed their karma, and another fifty eminent monks and fifty eminent Taoists "performed the seven to do good deeds" on the altar.

Not to mention, Jia Ke specially bestowed a sandalwood coffin as Jia Zhu's birthday.

Every day, countless court officials and dignitaries came to offer incense to Jia Zhu, and the lingering smoke enveloped the entire Rongguo Mansion directly.

On the day of Jia Zhu's funeral, Jia Ke ordered Li Deshan to go to the Rong Palace on his behalf.

During the funeral, the gates of the mansion were opened, and the lanterns on both sides shone like daytime, and people came and went chaotically, and the cries inside shook the mountains and mountains.

The street is full of people coming and going, flowers clustered, officials go and go, the gate facing the street is opened, and drum halls are set up on both sides, two teams of Tsingyi play music on time, and pairs of deacons put their knives and axes together.

This was also Jia Zhu's last honor guard, and he swaggered through the streets in the capital.

On the way out of Beijing, officials set up road sacrifices along the way, and the officials who came to see him off were boundless and scattered for several miles, which shows the importance attached to Jia Zhu at that time.

Jia Baoyu, as Jia Zhu's younger brother, personally helped the coffin, and followed Jia Zhu's coffin, all the way out of the capital to the imperial mausoleum.

After Jia Zhu's death, the Queen Mother couldn't afford to be ill. If it weren't for the extraordinary ability of the imperial physician in the palace, she would have gone with her son Jia Zhu.

On the third day after Jia Zhu's funeral, Jia Ke issued an order to Prince Rong's mansion, "Prince Rong's son Jia Lan, heir to Prince Rong, does not need to be degraded."

As the Supreme Emperor, Jia Zheng also mourned Jia Zhu's death for a long time.

To be honest, among Jia Zheng's several sons, Jia Zhu is the most optimistic about Jia Zheng.Now that Jia Zhu is leaving like this, the sadness in Jia Zheng's heart is incomprehensible to others.

The waves caused by Jia Zhu's death quickly disappeared without a trace in the capital.After all, everyone still has to live.

In this way, another five years passed in a hurry, and eight years came to Kangshun in a flash.

Over the past few years, the imperial court has become more and more stable, and Jia Ke's reputation has also been in full swing. Because Jia Ke has adopted measures to ease the pressure on farmers, such as sharing the children into the mother and never adding taxes, the people all regard Jia Ke as an unprecedented Mingjun. .

And because there is no harassment from the Tatars, the border has become more and more peaceful in recent years, and the people can even go out of the nine borders and start to reclaim wasteland.

After Jia Ke knew this trend, instead of stopping it, he strongly encouraged it. All the wasteland reclaimed by the people will be owned by individuals, and all taxes will be exempted within three years.

Thanks to Jia Ke's active encouragement policy, the enthusiasm of the people to go out and reclaim the land became more vigorous.

Many farmers with little land or a large family left their hometowns in groups, trekked hundreds of miles, and came to the grasslands from the nine sides.

In just a few years, nearly 1000 million mu of fertile land has been reclaimed on the grassland.

Although the land in the northern grasslands is relatively barren, it is not a problem to plant a wave. In addition, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the people own much more land than Guannei. Life is pretty good.

Now Jia Ke can be said to be a beautiful woman in her arms and a successful career. If there is any trouble, it is the common concern of all emperors.

Now Jia Ke's sons who are about to grow up look like five-eyed chickens.

Chu Wang Jia Zhi and Wu Wang Jia Mao even used weapons at a banquet once. If Jia Ke hadn't suppressed them on the spot, one of them might have died on the spot.

In the end, in order to let the two sons have a long memory, Jia Ke directly ordered them to contemplate behind closed doors for half a year. If there was no order within half a year, no one was allowed to visit them, and they were not allowed to go out of their way.

At this time, Jia Yuanchun, who was in Chuxiu Palace, had a troublesome matter, which made him and her restless day and night.

It turned out that as the young emperor of the previous dynasty kept growing older, the resentment of the deposed emperor towards Jia Ke became deeper and deeper.

Once, mother and son were admiring flowers in the imperial garden, when Jia Ke came suddenly.

Jia Yuanchun naturally took the child to the salute, who knew that Jia Yuanchun had already knelt down to salute Jia Ke, but the child stood there without moving.

Jia Ke glanced at the child at the time, just smiled and shook her head, as if she wasn't angry at all.

But Jia Yuanchun understood Jia Ke's ruthlessness. They lived in the palace and often had to meet Jia Ke. Once or twice, Jia Ke didn't get angry. After a long time, Jia Ke really didn't complain.

Therefore, Jia Yuanchun has been having nightmares for the past few days, dreaming that suddenly one day Jia Ke became furious and sent troops to arrest her son to the execution ground for questioning and beheading.

In the dream, she was holding her son's head outside the execution ground, and could only cry helplessly.

Because of this dream, Jia Yuanchun woke up several times in the past few days.

On this day, Jia Yuanchun was still awakened from a dream. She sat on the bed and hugged the quilt shivering.

At this time, Baoqin, who was serving beside Jia Yuanchun, felt very uncomfortable seeing Jia Yuanchun like this.

Their girls used to be the most noble women in the world, but they didn't expect to be frightened like this now.

While Baoqin kept comforting Jia Yuanchun by the bed, he was quickly thinking about how to get Jia Yuanchun out of this predicament.

Their master lives in the palace, so it is inevitable that they often meet the emperor, and the young master's attitude is as if he wants to eat people every time he meets the emperor.

If things go on like this, something will happen sooner or later, it's better to go out to live in the palace, the two don't see each other, maybe time can smooth out the resentment in their little master's heart.

After Baoqin figured it out, she gently suggested next to her, "Master, I know why you are troubled. From what I mean by the slave, why don't we move out of the palace so that we can live our lives honestly and never see each other? Maybe be safe."

Xue Baochai was shivering there, but after hearing the words of holding the piano, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds. Why didn't he think of such a simple method?
Jia Yuanchun went over the idea of ​​holding the piano carefully, and felt more and more that it was a good way. At that time, she made up her mind to go to Ningshou Palace to beg the Empress Dowager tomorrow morning. If her old man speaks, the emperor will not come Refuted face.

After Jia Yuanchun figured it out, he fell asleep again. He didn't know if he had a plan in mind. Jia Yuanchun had a rare good sleep, and didn't get up until the sun was high.

After Jia Yuanchun got up, he dressed neatly, had a quick breakfast, and then took a small sedan chair and went straight to the Ningshou Palace of the Empress Dowager Jiamu.

At this time, Jia's mother had already had breakfast, and now she was listening to the palace daughter singing a little song in the Ningshou Palace, holding a cup of tea, watching a few-year-old child crawling around on the ground, the smile on the corner of her mouth kept changing. Others can feel that happy expression.

It turned out that the child crawling around on the ground was Jia Gui, the son of Jia Baoyu and Xiren. Since the child lost his mother, Jia Baoyu ate fast and recited Buddha every day because of Lin Daiyu.Empress Dowager Jia Mu saw that this was not a problem, and said that she was a little lonely in the palace, so she made the decision to take Jia Gui to her own palace to raise her.

It's been a few years, and Jia's mother has concentrated all her feelings for Jia Baoyu on this little child, so it can be said that she loves Jia Gui in every way.

Jia Gui's food and clothing expenses in the palace are all the first, and even Jia Ke's son may not be able to keep up with him.

When Jia Yuanchun came to Ningshou Palace, he entered the side hall without the maid reporting. Jia Gui was having a good time when suddenly he saw someone coming, and when he looked up, it turned out to be his beautiful aunt whom he liked.

So Jia Gui stretched out his hands, showing a toothless smile, wanting Jia Yuanchun to hug him.

And Jia Yuanchun did not disappoint him, bent down and hugged Jia Gui in his arms, and then came to Jia Mu in three steps and two steps, hugged Jia Gui and saluted her, and then sat down at the direction of Jia Mu. On the side show pier.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Yuanchun, who hadn't come for many days, and came to her palace suddenly, so she knew what was going on with her.After all, Jia Yuanchun, since Jia Ke ascended the throne, has lived reclusively in the palace and seldom visited in the palace.

"Is there something wrong this time?"

Jia Yuanchun looked a little sad when he heard this, and handed Jia Gui in his arms to the mandarin duck beside him.

Then Jia Yuanchun's eye circles turned red.

Seeing her like this, Jia Mu was a little unhappy, and asked the mandarin duck beside her, "What's the matter? Did someone in the palace give the Eldest Princess a bad look?"

Yuanyang has never heard of this matter. Jia Ke has treated Jia Yuanchun pretty well these years. All the expenses are provided according to the queen's etiquette, and there is no one in the palace who is not open-eyed. Go to Jia Yuanchun for trouble. .

"Back to Lafayette, the slaves have never heard of it."

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly explained to the side: "Lafayette misunderstood, no one dares to be rude to me."

Upon hearing this, Mother Jia looked Jia Yuanchun up and down, and asked in bewilderment: "No one is rude to you, why did I cry when I saw you?"

Jia Yuanchun finally gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, knelt down in front of Jia's mother, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"The granddaughter has one thing to ask the old lady. The old lady agrees to me this time because I still have some credit for the Jia family."

Seeing her kneeling down, Jia's mother hurriedly ordered Yuanyang: "Quickly, help Yuanchun up quickly."

Yuanyang hurried forward to help Jia Yuanchun, but Jia Yuanchun didn't stand up, but Yuanyang threw it away with one hand and continued to cry there.

"Old lady Mingjian, my son is getting older and knows some things about people. I think he is not in the right mood these two days. If he is allowed to live in the palace, there might be some trouble. I would like to ask The old lady told the eldest brother that at least he would be given a title and let us, mother and son, live outside the palace."

After listening to Jia Yuanchun's story, Jia's mother understood why Jia Yuanchun came to her and cried.

Mother Jia didn't immediately agree to Jia Yuanchun, but lowered her head and thought about it. To be honest, Mother Jia didn't like this great grandson very much, and she even had some ulterior thoughts in her heart.

Seeing that Jia's mother was silent, Jia Yuanchun hurriedly begged again with tears.

In the end, Mother Jia looked at Jia Yuanchun's pitiful look, and remembered that she had made some contributions to the Jia family, so she could only nod and said, "In this case, I will say hello to the emperor, but I don't know if it will be successful or not."

After hearing Jia Mu's reply, Jia Yuanchun immediately kowtowed happily, "If there is Lafayette, I will be satisfied with my granddaughter."
