The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 112

Emperor Taiqi spoke the truth.

Just as Jia Cong thought, Emperor Taiqi first appreciated Jia Cong because he could quickly control Ningguo Mansion and avoid causing trouble; secondly, he did not expect more from him, for example, the wealth of Ningguo Mansion.

Even if Jia Cong didn't spend a penny, Emperor Tai Qi would not be angry. After all, what can an eight-year-old child do?
But now, Jia Cong donated 13 taels and made it clear that this was all he had. Emperor Tai Qi did not doubt it, and was only moved.

If there are too many, it would be outrageous.

"This child has a pure heart. It was his own decision, not the minister's lobbying. The minister also advised him that he would have to live his life in the future, but he insisted on it." Xiong Bichen would not tell Jia Cong's dissatisfaction with Rongguo Mansion, but He said, "My disciple is very grateful to the Emperor, which can be seen from heaven and earth. If it hadn't been for the Emperor's mercy, he would still be restless in some corner and live in fear."

"In that case, I have nothing to say."

Emperor Taiqi couldn't help but feel moved. He didn't need to think about an eight-year-old child, and said, "It's hard for people to say that they are innocent. I just understand this today. In the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, no one other than Jia Cong has accepted the emperor's favor. I But I didn’t see others being grateful and thinking of serving the country.”

He put the account book on the table and said, "In this case, I have no choice but to accept Jia Cong's kindness. It just so happens that I want to see what Rongguo Mansion will do."

Even, in the emperor's view, Ningguo Mansion was implicated by Rongguo Mansion. Although Lai Sheng was a slave of Rongguo Mansion, he was also the steward of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Cong couldn't say it was because of fear that he had to donate his family property. For the emperor, he naturally liked a timid minister who was obedient and sensible, but did not dare to violate national laws easily.

For example, Jia Cong.

The next day, the Shi family, Wang family and Xue family sent people to Ningguo Mansion. After only offering a stick of incense to Jia Zhen and his son, they went to Rongguo Mansion without speaking to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong does not need to perform filial piety with them.

Mu Yongzheng and Xian Ning happened to arrive. Seeing this scene, they were extremely angry. The dead man was the most important, not to mention that it was the emperor's decree, but these three families dared to ignore it like this.

But Jia Cong stopped them and said, "When you came, didn't you just offer incense and salute to my mother? In fact, the principle is the same. Even money, not everyone loves it!"

"You can't say that. Now that you are in charge of the Ningguo Mansion, they don't even look at you. Isn't it too much of a lie?"

Xian Ning also pursed her soft red lips and said, "If anyone dares to do this again, we will kick him out!"

As he spoke, he waved his small fist.

Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's even more inappropriate. My mother's funeral is not just held at home. If you force people to do this, I don't know who will resent my mother in their hearts. Besides, if you don't really respect me, My mother, I don’t want the incense stick they put on me either, so I might be thinking about my mother in my heart.”

Xian Ning felt a little more comfortable, "I heard from master that you want to help the spirit go south. Junior brother, how about I accompany you?"

Jia Cong was so frightened that he panicked and stared at her, "Is this something I can accompany you?"

Will King Zhongshun agree?Will the palace agree?

Mu Yongzheng smiled and said from the side, "Xian Ning, in what capacity do you accompany me? Ah, there is still time to pay a visit to the church. If you are Jia Cong's wife, you have to go even if you don't want to go!"

Jia Cong's face turned red, "Is this a joke?"

Xian Ning raised the teacup and was about to hit Mu Yongzheng, "I'm going to tear your mouth apart. What are you thinking about all day long?"

Mu Yong hurriedly raised his hands to cover his head, fearing that Xian Ning would hit him, "Didn't I help you with advice? I know you want to see Jiangnan, and I want to go too, Jia Cong, I'll come with you Go ahead!"

"If you go with me, I won't object. I have someone to keep me company on the way. You don't have to ask me. You go home and ask your parents. Besides, after I go, I have to stay there to observe my filial piety, but I can't accompany you." Come back."

Mu Yongzheng said, "Jia Cong, where is your mother's hometown? You keep your filial piety there. I always look for opportunities to visit you. It will be easy to find me when the time comes."

"My maternal grandfather is from Jurong County, Jiangning Prefecture. He was Jieyuan in the past. You can find out if you go there and ask around."

The three of them were talking, and Jia Cong's gloomy mood in the past few days had improved. Outside, Li Gou'er came to report that Uncle Kui was here.

Jia Cong hurriedly welcomed them out in person. Mu Yongzheng knew that they had something to say, so he left and Xianning stayed.

Seeing that Uncle Kui was carrying a baggage, Jia Cong thought that Uncle Kui was going on a long journey and came to say goodbye. He felt uncomfortable when he heard Uncle Kui say, "The master has asked me to come and follow the young master south. Over there, I have been accompanying you for three years, so don’t let your efforts fall behind."

Jia Cong knew that he could not refuse this kindness no matter what. With tears in his eyes, he bowed to Uncle Kui and said, "How can Cong be so virtuous? Master and Uncle Kui take such good care of me. Only Uncle Kui followed Cong." , Master has no one to take care of him, so what should we do?"

Uncle Kui put down the baggage and said, "Young master, don't worry. I'm with you. I'm just an idler to serve you. If you can go out with you and serve you, it will be a blessing."

"Uncle Kui, please don't say that. I only treat you as an elder."

"Young Master said that, I won't dare to follow you."

Xian Ning said from the side, "Uncle Kui, my junior brother and I have never dared to treat you as a human being, and you know it. Why should we argue about this? Why don't we talk about it first, whether it is better to go south by water or by land. "

"Of course we have to take the water route. Needless to say?" Jia Cong said with a smile, "It will take about 20 days to get there by water route from here. If you take the land route, you still don't know how far you can go in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Nowadays, everywhere It’s not very peaceful.”

Xian Ning only felt that parting was just around the corner. She had no brothers or sisters since she was a child, and she and Jia Cong had the same master. In her heart, Jia Cong was really closer than her biological brothers and sisters.

Once Jia Cong left, she was alone again, and it was conceivable that she would feel lonely. When she felt sad, tears filled her eyes, and she cried, "You just think I'm annoying, so you won't let me follow you, right?"

Jia Cong also knew that she was just being naughty. She knew that Prince Zhongshun could not let his only daughter go out so far. She had no way to drain away the worries in her heart, so she turned her anger on him.

Not only was Jia Cong not annoyed, but he was happy in his heart. He gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his fingers and said with a smile, "If you agree to be my wife, I will let you follow!"

"Okay, if you follow their bad example, I won't ignore you anymore!" After saying that, Xian Ning turned around and turned his back to Jia Cong.

Uncle Kui watched the two little children playing around and felt happy. He smiled and shook his head and followed Li Gou'er out to settle down.

There was no one in the room, so Jia Cong coaxed Xianning with soft words, "During the mourning period, I can't go out with you to play. What's the point even if you go along? Is it possible that I will live in that simple thatched hut and spend my days with you?" It's been exposed to the wind for a long time, and if you feel uncomfortable, won't you still blame me?"

Xian Ning said, "Nonsense, how can I blame you? Besides, who said I wanted to go out with you? I know that you said you were keeping filial piety, but actually you wanted to find a secluded place to study. You must be disgusted with being here If you don't study well in the palace, the Fourth Emperor brother is nothing. You will always be punished by your husband." Jia Cong hurriedly covered her red lips, with a pair of black and white eyes full of fear, "Auntie, what are you saying? You dare to speak, but I dare not listen!”

Xian Ning saw that he was so frightened. He couldn't help but frown, smiled, and touched his nose with his hand, "Huh, you are scared sometimes too!"

The hot breath from Xian Ning made Jia Cong's palms tremble. He quickly retracted his hands, collected his thoughts, and said, "If I leave the capital, I still have something to entrust to you."

"You said, no matter what, I will help you." She always felt that at this time, she had to do something for him to feel at ease.

"Follow me!" Jia Cong held Xian Ning's hand and walked all the way to the second door. When the boy and the mother-in-law at the door saw him, they hurriedly bowed their shoulders and saluted.

After entering the second door, Xian Ning asked in a low voice, "Junior brother, the effect of your stick on killing and establishing authority is really good!"

Jia Cong was surprised, "Even you know?"

"Is there anything I don't know about you? My father said that you have such courage at a young age, and you will definitely be great in the future."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

Xianning and Yourongyan don't know what they are so proud of.
After Jia Cong established his authority, Youshi's life became much better. Especially, Jia Cong told her to get rid of some unusable people.

Recently, the servants in Ningguo Mansion have been very enthusiastic about their work, and almost all of them have rolled up, for fear of being kicked out.

With the servants holding her in her arms, Youshi was much more noble than the old lady next door.

Jia Cong led a young man into the second gate, and someone informed Youshi, who hurriedly brought Yindie to welcome him out.

"Why did my sister-in-law come out again?"

"I heard that the second uncle is here and has brought guests!" Youshi could tell at a glance that the girl in front of her was a girl with obvious ear piercings.

Just looking at Jia Cong holding hands with her, Youshi narrowed her eyes and guessed who it was.

"This is my eldest sister-in-law, and this is Princess Xianning." After Jia Cong introduced his identity to the two of them, Mrs. You saluted. Xianning was very polite, "Madam, you don't have to be polite!"

After entering the house, Yindie served good tea, and Jia Cong explained the purpose of his visit, "After brother Zhen and Rong'er are buried, I want to send my mother and two grandfathers back to Jiangning Mansion. Things in Beijing, Ningguo Mansion, I plan to ask Princess Xianning to help look after her. If there is anything difficult for my sister-in-law, I can ask someone to find the princess."

Youshi had just heard about this and was very flustered for a moment, "Second uncle is going to Jiangning Mansion? I don't know when he will come back?"

"It is your duty as a son of man to observe filial piety for three years. It will last about three years."

Xian Ning saw that You was about to burst into tears, and was afraid that she would hinder Jia Cong, so she said, "I am Jia Cong's senior sister. If he is no longer in the capital, I will keep an eye on the Ningguo Mansion. The eldest wife also has to observe filial piety." , stay in the backyard from now on, I will send the royal guards here to ensure the safety of the house. Madam, don’t worry. "

When You heard this, Hai breathed a sigh of relief. She was not afraid of anything else. If there were no internal thieves in such a large palace, no bad guys from outside would be able to get in.

She is afraid of her own people.

"These days, my sister-in-law will clean up some of the treacherous people in the house as soon as possible. If I leave, I will keep all the necessities of life and money. But don't worry, sister-in-law, I will be back in three years. "

You didn't expect that Jia Cong could still ask people from Prince Zhongshun's palace to take care of her. What else did she have to worry about, "Second uncle has arranged everything, so what should I worry about? Since the princess is taking care of me, Second uncle is away, so you don’t have to worry about home, I will take care of everything."

Coming out of Youshi's courtyard, Xianning said, "Bring all the family members with you. Although there are not many in number and they are old, these people are extremely loyal to you. As for Ningguo Mansion, I asked my father to help. Just arrange a few people to patrol day and night, and the master can also arrange for people to come in, so you don't have to worry about it."

Soon, the Rongguo Mansion also learned that Jia Cong was going to help Ling go south, and Aunt Zhong was going to be buried back in her hometown.

If things had changed in the past, Jia's mother would definitely have been in trouble again. Last time, Mrs. Wang proposed to give Jia Zhen an heir. It was obviously for Jia Zhen's sake, but in fact it was to cause trouble for Jia Cong.

As soon as Lai Sheng's incident came out, the Rongguo Mansion was too busy taking care of itself. It was afraid that Lai Sheng would tear off a piece of flesh. It was too late to move around, so how could it care about Jia Cong?

The two wives of the Shi family, Yuan and Jiang, and the head wife of the Wang family, Sun, have all arrived today. First, there is a funeral in Ningguo Mansion. For the sake of several generations, they have to take care of it no matter what. A face.

Now that such a big thing has happened to the Jia family, the four families are tied together, and one is prosperous and the other is devastated. How can we not take a look at the reality?

"If you want me to tell you, my brother at home is still causing the trouble." Wang Ziteng's wife, Sun, was quite imposing when she opened her mouth, raising her chin high, "Qian'er, my master is still saying that my brother is at the door. As soon as he knelt down, things happened one after another in the house."

"Originally speaking, this big business always has a few unworthy descendants. We are not saying that Brother Zhen did well. Of course he did not do well, but why did those refugees just run into the yard next door? ?”

These words were not said by Mr. Sun!

When Jia Mu heard this, she was furious, "Isn't it that bastard bastard who is causing trouble behind the scenes? He is a black-hearted bad thing like his mother."

"No! Think about it, old lady, a few years ago, how dangerous was the last year when the Duke was still alive?" Mrs. Sun's voice was high-pitched and full of energy, "Although the old couple in the Zhong family are gone, but Didn’t the Duke go with him? Zhong is still dissatisfied, look, these things are happening again, it’s really endless. "

Mrs. Wang was also filled with hatred, and she also hated Jia She in her heart. If he hadn't fallen in love with Mrs. Zhong, this matter, which had been dragged on for so many years and still couldn't be settled, would have cost the Rongguo Mansion. Compensate for it?
"Let's just say, how should we end it now?" Mrs. Wang burst into tears as she spoke, "I haven't slept a wink for several days, and my heart feels like it's fried!"

Shi Ding's wife, Yuan Shi, consoled her, "It's useless for you to be anxious. This can't be solved by just being anxious. Let's see what we do. Things will eventually pass."

Mrs. Sun sneered, "What's even weirder is that Feng Yatou went back to her parents' house yesterday, and your brother was running around asking people to help him talk.

Who knew that the little brat next door actually asked his husband Xiong Bichen to hand over the account book, saying that all the 10,000+ taels of silver in the house had been donated.

Early this morning, the emperor praised him very much in the morning, and the officials of Lantai Temple followed suit and impeached him. "

When the old lady heard this, her vision went dark, and this time she really fainted.

After one wave of injustice, another wave arises.

Rongqingtang immediately became panicked.
