Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 167: Leaving Beijing early to avoid the limelight

The revelation of the Walas spy organization caused an uproar in the court.

Such a dangerous organization would do too much harm to Da Chu.

Fortunately, this organization took seven or eight years to establish.

But it has only really started to take effect in the past three or two years, so the consequences are not too serious.

After careful consideration, Emperor Longqing decided to take advantage of this opportunity and clean up the court.

Eliminate some corrupt officials and promote a group of capable and ambitious officials.

Just when the court was about to cause a huge stir, Jia Qiong, as the instigator, was already preparing to avoid the whirlpool.

In a few days, it will be Wang Yuyan's birthday, June 28, which is exactly ten days apart from Jia Qiong's birthday.

Some time ago, Jia Qiong had too many things to do, one case after another, and he had no time to spend with his wife.

Jia Qiong knew that if the emperor used the espionage case to go to jail, he would actually be very eye-catching as the person in charge of the case.

That's why he asked for leave from Emperor Longqing, planning to take his two daughters-in-law to Qingyun Temple to escape the summer heat, spend time with his daughters-in-law, and temporarily stay away from Chang'an, a place of right and wrong.

After returning from Daming Palace, Jia Qiong called the two masters, Liu Xian Cheng and Ma Dianshi to have dinner together.

Halfway through the meal, Jia Qiong suddenly said: "I have been feeling unwell recently. The doctor said it is because I am intolerant to the heat. If things continue like this, I may develop serious problems.

Anyway, there haven't been any major events recently. I plan to go out to escape the summer heat, so I will temporarily entrust you with the official duties of the county. "

The four of them looked at each other and thought to themselves, "You are as strong as an ox, but you don't seem to be feeling well."

Ma Dianshi, the flatterer, first said: "My lord, you have been working too hard recently, and sometimes your body cannot bear it. If you suffer from it, it will be a loss for the imperial court."

Liuxian Cheng hurriedly followed up and said: "Don't worry, sir. We will take good care of the county's affairs and will not disturb your cultivation. You must take good care of yourself."

Master Lu asked cautiously: "Sir, what should I do if something comes to you from above?"

Jia Qiong said: "If the higher ups ask, you will just say that I am sick, bedridden and recuperating at home.

If there are important official matters that cannot be handled by the officials, send someone to look for me at Qingyun Temple in the west of the city. "

Master Tong asked: "How long do you plan to go, sir?"

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "It depends on my illness. It can be as short as ten days or as long as a month."

After eating, Jia Qiong handed over some government affairs and went home directly.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, I'm confused, Wei Rui fired me up again."

As soon as he heard it, he knew it was the sisters from the Jia family who were here. Shi Xiangyun was the only one who could let out such hearty laughter.

Jia Qiong first went to his bedroom to change into casual clothes, and then came to the second hospital.

In the flower hall, there are large ice buckets placed in each corner, exuding bursts of coolness and making the air very cool.

Jia Qiong entered the room and unexpectedly found Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu there.

At this time, two card games were formed in the room, with Wang Yuyan, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing, and Xue Baochai at one table.

Lin Daiyu, Jia Tanchun, Xu Weirui and Shi Xiangyun are at the same table.

Next to them, Jia Baoyu, Yingchun and Tanchun were playing chess.

Jia Qiong said: "Hey, Baoyu is here too."

Only then did everyone realize that Jia Qiong was back. Several sisters came here often and were already very familiar with Jia Qiong.

He greeted Jia Qiong naturally and went on to do his own thing.

Jia Baoyu said somewhat cautiously: "Brother Qiong, school is on holiday.

I was bored at home, so I came to sit with him. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said, "Come and sit here if you have nothing to do. I can also check your homework."

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his embarrassed expression made Shi Xiangyun burst into laughter.

She asked with a smile: "Second brother, why don't you say that Brother Qiong is a "national thief"?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu turned into a bitter face.

Afraid that Jia Qiong would be angry, Lin Daiyu pulled Shi Xiangyun and rescued Baoyu: "Brother Qiong, Baoyu has been working very hard recently, and the teachers in the school often praise him."

As soon as Jia Qiong saw Lin Daiyu's little actions, he understood that these two Yu'ers, who had grown up together, still had feelings for each other.

Maybe it’s because it’s destiny and love cannot be controlled by people.

It's normal when you think about it. Jia Baoyu is gentle and considerate to girls, and he has true feelings for Lin Daiyu, which is different from others.The two lived together all year round and were childhood sweethearts, spending time together day and night, so it was inevitable that they would have feelings for each other.

Although Jia Qiong has often indoctrinated Jia Zheng over the years and asked him to discipline Jia Baoyu, how much effect can it have if Jia's mother dotes on him.

Jia Qiong didn't say anything more and turned to look at Wang Xifeng: "Sister-in-law Feng is such a rare visitor. Why are you free to come today?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I'm not a rare guest. I've been to your house eight times and I haven't touched you every time.

Brother Qiong is a very busy man now. I heard that he took the Jin Yiwei to arrest someone again yesterday. It was really majestic.

Someone asked me to inquire this morning. It seemed that he was involved with some Hu businessman. He asked Brother Qiong if he could raise his hand and let him go. "

Jia Qiong waved her hand and said: "Sister-in-law is joking, I am a small official with a big ego, how can I care about this.

The Emperor no longer wants me to take charge of that case. From now on, it will be handled by Jin Yiwei, and I can't get involved. "

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It's not all the same. Brother Qiong, aren't you the Jinyi Guard Qianhu? Your family is protected by the Jinyi Guards. It's not up to you to arrest him or not."

In the original work, Wang Xifeng took care of the lawsuit for others. Now I don't know who asked him to find out the information. Maybe he had the intention of letting him help hide it.

Jia Qiong said: "The emperor will not let me take charge of it. I am a thousand households with an empty title. How can anyone listen to me?"

Besides, this is a major case involving Li Tong's treason and the crime of punishing the nine tribes. Who dares to interfere casually without fear of getting burned?

I can only tell Sister-in-law Feng one thing, the emperor will definitely investigate this matter strictly.

If you are involved in this matter, if you can clear up the relationship, do so quickly and don't bring trouble to yourself. "

Jia Qiong blocked the conversation with one sentence, leaving Wang Xifeng speechless. Then she sat aside and watched Wang Yuyan and the others playing cards.

Wang Yuyan played a card and asked casually: "Why are you back so early today?"

Jia Qiong smiled and said, "Isn't it your birthday in a few days?

I took a few days off and planned to take you to the Xuanzhen Taoist Temple in Qingyun Temple to escape the summer heat. What do you think? "

Wang Yuyan said in surprise: "It's great to go to Qingyun Temple. We haven't been there for many years."

Qin Keqing asked curiously: "Where is Qingyun Temple? Is it near Chang'an?"

Wang Yuyan explained: "Not far from Chang'an, Qingyun Temple generally does not receive pilgrims, so it is not well-known, but the scenery is particularly good.

My husband and I went there once, six years ago, when we had just met.

Wei Rui went there too, when she was just this old.

She was naughty and always wanted to look out of the window. My hands were sore all the way after hugging her.

Wei Rui, do you still remember? "

Wang Yuyan's words made everyone chuckle, but Xu Weirui said nonchalantly: "Why don't I remember that my sister-in-law always asked me about the second brother at that time, and she probably fell in love with the second brother at that time."

Xu Weirui's words made Wang Yu so embarrassed that everyone laughed again.

Wang Yuyan pretended to be angry and asked Jia Qiong: "Husband, just the three of us will go this time.

My sister-in-law is pregnant and cannot take a carriage out of the city. The road is too bumpy, so my aunt must be at home with her. "

Jia Qiong said cooperatively: "What the lady said is, just the three of us will go, it will be quieter."

Xu Weirui pouted and shouted: "Second brother, don't marry a daughter-in-law and forget about your sister, there is also me!"

Shi Xiangyun also joined in: "Brother Qiong, I want to go too."

Baochai, Daiyu and others also looked at Jia Qiong with excited expressions.

Jia Qiong glanced at Wang Yuyan and said with a smile: "It's useless for you to look at me, I just want you to go, and the old lady won't let you go.

We are not going there for two or three days, we have to stay for more than ten days.

If you want to go, you have to find someone who can make the old lady spit. "

Zhongchai understood and began to beg Wang Yuyan.

Shi Xiangyun and Jia Tanchun stepped forward directly, pulling her from left to right, calling her sister-in-law affectionately.

Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes at Jia Qiong bitterly. She didn't know how much worry she would have to worry about if she wanted to bring this group of sisters-in-law with her.

But if they don't agree, these little girls are afraid that they will pester someone to death again.

She could only say helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm almost shaken to pieces by you.

Come on, I will take you to beg the old lady now, but you must agree in advance. If you cannot beg, don’t rely on me. "
