Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Jia Zheng lowered his head in silence.

As for national hatred and family feuds, he, who considers himself a patriot, cannot refute it.

But the reality cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Regardless of whether the Jin Kingdom came to seek surrender and peace, they were not something that a commoner like him or an official of the fifth rank could afford to offend.

"Brother, you really should not spoil him."

"If he becomes arrogant and domineering because of what happened today, how can I survive?"

Jia Zheng spoke with certainty and looked miserable.

When he was a fifth-rank official, he could not be offended. Now that he was an ordinary person who had been convicted and would never be employed, he was even less likely to be offended.

Jia She frowned.

"Do you think that I will not protect my nephew?"

Do you know?
Jia Zheng was a little confused. If you don’t even protect your brother, how can you protect your son?

Jia She looked at Jia Zheng and sighed silently.

"Since you are a member of the Jia family, I will protect you."

"As for the rest, I only praise Baoyu for his good beating!"

Hearing Jia She's praise, Jia Baoyu straightened his back.

Everyone heard it. I have someone to protect me.

Jia She asked Jia Lian to release Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng wanted to take Jia Baoyu back, but Jia Baoyu subconsciously hugged Jia She's legs again.

He didn't want to leave. If he went back now, his father would definitely beat him.

Jia Zheng kept sighing. At this moment, he felt powerless about his offspring.

First it was Yuanchun, then it was Baoyu.

He can't control one or two of them now.

What use is he in this family?

Jia Zheng went back in despair.

Jia Baoyu went to live with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian would praise him, saying that he now likes his brother very much and that this brother is not like his father.

His uncle didn't beat or scold him like his father did, and he wasn't as scary as the servants said. He also followed him out and bought him things he had never seen before.

This uncle is better than his father.

He liked this brother and uncle, and Jia Baoyu followed Jia Lian happily.

There was a little tail behind Jia Lian.

Jia Lian didn't care much about this, it was just a matter of having more quilts and more pairs of chopsticks.

Jia Baoyu was happy and Jia She was relieved.

Jia She asked someone to call Mrs. Xing over.

When Mrs. Xing saw Jia She, she told him what Jia Zheng had done today.

Jia Zheng stayed in his own yard and went nowhere.

There was a flash of surprise in Jia She's eyes. How come such a long time had passed and he hadn't made any movement?
"Master, the second brother wouldn't dare, would he?"

Mrs. Xing asked Jia She carefully.

Jia Zheng is indeed a coward, especially now, he is really a coward.

And this, coupled with the complaint from the old woman that day, probably made him suspicious.

"Observe for two more days!"

Jia She gave instructions to Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing nodded.

At the same time, in the Honglu Temple, Hou Jin was arranged to live in the courtyard.

"It's him, it's him!"

"It's obviously him, why are you all lecturing me?"

The child's shrill voice cut through the dark sky above the Honglu Temple.

The envoys of the Jin Dynasty were busy trying to coax Prince Yincheng, who was sent by their own country as a hostage.

Prince Yincheng was born into the Dorguala clan of the upper three banners. His mother was one of the most beloved concubines of the current Later Jin emperor.

The reason why the young prince Yincheng was sent as a hostage this time was that the Later Jin Dynasty was in danger from the attacks of the Tatars.

The adult princes all have their own wives and families, and they are needed to contact the other eight banners to fight against the Tatar invasion together.

Second, he is the only one of the right age.

Even if the old emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty was unwilling, he had no choice but to make such arrangements.

Unexpectedly, the little prince got into trouble less than two days after arriving.

"Your Highness!"

Facing the fat boy who had been making trouble, the Prime Minister of the Later Jin Dynasty, Sozhuolo, who was the envoy this time, had a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

It's such a late hour now and you're still making trouble. The Later Jin Dynasty is about to perish.

Even if it wasn't his fault, what would be the harm in admitting it?

Would the Emperor of Great Chu kill you because of the son of a nobleman?
Sodrolo's complexion was extremely bad.

The little fat boy didn't dare to make trouble anymore. When he came out, his mother had told him that among the group of people, the person they should not offend the most was Sozhuolo.

If he displeased him, he would suffer the consequences.

The fat boy understood and tears came down his face with grievance.

"Sodrolo, I'm really not the prince who's trying to cause trouble."

"That Baoyu did it on purpose. He kept asking questions and irritated him, so he started howling and yelling at me for bullying him."

"I didn't touch him at all."

"I didn't even curse at him, I just spoke in a bad tone."

“But it’s him too.”

The fat boy, who had never suffered such a great injustice, sobbed as he narrated the situation at that time.

There might be some hidden story behind this little prince feeling so aggrieved.

His intuition told him that this matter was not simple.

I'm afraid this is just a show of force from the Chu State. After all.
Suozhuo closed his eyes. If this was true, it was probably instigated by the Emperor of Great Chu.

I am the fish on the chopping board. If the old Khan had not lost his mind, he would not have chosen to make peace with the Tatars.

As a result, they are now being attacked by the Tatars and are isolated and helpless.

God wants to destroy our Great Jin.

Tears also flowed from Sodroro's eyes.

"Father!"

Seeing the tears in Suozhuolo's eyes and the people from the Later Jin Dynasty who were on a diplomatic mission to Da Chu in the room, their hearts couldn't help but tighten.

Sodrolo waved his hand wearily.

"I'm fine!"

Sodrolo, who was suppressing the situation, turned his attention to the young fat boy.

"Your Highness, just treat this as a loss."

"Now, our Great Jin has little influence in the Great Chu."

"The old Khan is letting a wolf into the house. What the boy did today should be a warning from the Great Chu Emperor."

The atmosphere in the room was silent.

"So Your Highness, please don't complain about being wronged anymore!"

"For the sake of Dajin... just bear with it!"

Sodrolo knelt down in front of the little fat man and knocked his head down.

The golden men in the room tried to stop them.

The tears in the little fat boy's eyes became more and more intense.

Sodroro began to make arrangements.

Looking at the only wise man on the grassland, the people from the Jin Kingdom who came to Da Chu shed tears.

I don’t know whether these tears are shed for the so-called Later Jin or for myself.

Until the early morning of the next day, the memorial submitted by Sodrolo fell into oblivion, without any news at all.

The current situation of the Later Jin Dynasty cannot be underestimated.

If they do not receive reinforcements from the Great Chu as soon as possible, the Later Jin will probably be completely swallowed up by the Tatars.

Suo Zhuo Luo began to move in this divine capital, and the first place he visited was the Rongguo Mansion.

However, when they arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Suo Zhuoluo, who was not invited by Jia She, told the gatekeeper that he was an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin who came to pay a visit.

After hearing this, the gatekeeper of Rongguo Mansion did not respond.

Sozhuolo understood and began to bribe. Menzi glanced at what Sozhuolo was holding, and disgust flashed in his eyes.

"My master has issued an order that unless the family is familiar to me, I will not see anyone who comes to visit me."

The doorman refused to listen.

Sodrolo's back was slowly aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, he no longer looks like the man he was when he was in the Later Jin Dynasty, pointing fingers at the country and making bold decisions.

Feeling extremely powerless, he no longer knew what method he could use to save the Later Jin Dynasty.

How could he meet the Emperor of Great Chu and ask for help?
Suozhuo took a carriage back to Honglu Temple.

When the Jin people in the Honglu Temple saw Sozhuoluo coming back so quickly, there was a flash of shock in their eyes.

"Why did you come back so early, father? But I didn't see you. Why didn't you wait a little longer?"

The Jin people from the Honglu Temple surrounded Sozhuo Luo.

Sodroro, who came back in the carriage, sighed silently.

"What's the point of waiting any longer?"

"The doorman cannot show the attitude of Lord Rong. If he really cares or wants to help." "How can the doorman not even hand over a note?"

"How to do?"

The people of the Later Jin Dynasty all looked worried and sad, as their homes were still waiting for them to save them.

If the Later Jin cannot get reinforcements from the Great Chu, it will be really finished.

Sozhuolo took a carriage to look for Prince Zhongshun again.

As the emperor's younger brother, Prince Zhongshun naturally has a lot of say.

However, when he arrived at Prince Zhongshun's palace, he still couldn't even get through the door.

This is forcing him, forcing him to reveal his final bottom line.

With no other options left, Suozhuo could only return to the Honglu Temple with a dejected look on his face.

After a while, a new memorial was written.

At the same time, Jia She was off duty and returned to Rongguo Mansion.

There was finally some movement in Jia Mu's pharmacy. After Jia Zheng confirmed that Liu Wu's wife didn't know about it, he took advantage of the servants' meal time to sneak over to get Jia Mu's medicine residue.

All this was under the surveillance of Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing excitedly told Jia She who had just returned, and then took Jia She to catch him.

Jia Zheng was acting sneakily in the pharmacy.

After confirming that this was the medicine that Lady Jia often drank, he wrapped the residue in a cloth and stuffed it into his sleeve, then began to tiptoe out.

Jia She appeared in front of Jia Zheng, his face looking frighteningly dark.

Jia Zheng was startled by Jia She's sudden appearance.

Jia She's eyes kept looking into Jia Zheng's sleeves.

"Second brother, what do you have in your sleeve?"

Jia Zheng pretended to be calm and smiled at Jia She.

"Nothing big brother!"

"Nothing, what are you doing in my mother's pharmacy?"

Jia Zheng began to retreat, until finally Jia She had someone search the contents of Jia Zheng's sleeves.

The remaining residue of the medicine that Jia's mother drank appeared in front of Jia She.

Jia She's cold eyes fell on Jia Zheng.

"Second brother, you are such a good brother to me."

"Are you really looking forward to the death of your whole family?"

Jia She slapped Jia Zheng in the face. Jia Zheng's face twisted and he looked at Jia She in fear, subconsciously trying to hide.

But Jia She just wanted to teach Jia Zheng a lesson.

"Everyone get out!"

Under Jia She's order, all the servants who followed him retreated.

Mrs. Xing personally guarded the door.

Jia She was no longer polite and started slapping him.

Jia Zheng's face was swollen after being hit. In the end, Jia Zheng could no longer bear it and he even dared to fight back and push Jia She.

After being pushed, Jia She's face became even darker.

Jia Zheng, who was beaten and irritated, began to not know whether to live or die.

"Brother, don't think I don't know what's going on with my mother."

"You drugged your mother!"

Jia Zheng, with a pig-like face, picked up the medicine residue on the ground.

A disdainful smile appeared on Jia She's lips. Since Jia Zheng dared to bring it up, Jia She was no longer polite and started beating him.

"It was indeed me who drugged my mother."

"But she had it all to blame. Last time, with Wang Ziteng's incident, she ruined His Majesty's plan."

"Do you want to know where this medicine comes from?"

Jia She took out a bottle of medicine, which was the medicine that caused Jia's mother to be paralyzed in bed.

Originally this medicine was not that effective, so the emperor personally sent an imperial physician to help develop it.

Including the medicine that Lady Jia took, it was also prescribed by the imperial physician.

The combination of the two can make Lady Jia paralyzed forever without hurting her.

"Second brother, I am really good to you."

"I thought you were honest, but I didn't expect you still didn't repent."

"I really want to know what did your mother say to you that made you take the risk to save her?"

Jia She grabbed Jia Zheng by the collar and questioned him.

Jia Zheng didn't dare to look at Jia She, let alone answer.

He was afraid that Jia She would attack him again.

Jia She looked at the cowardly Jia Zheng in silence.

Jia She took a deep breath.

"That's it!"

Jia She loosened his grip on Jia Zheng's collar.

"I remember you seemed to want to continue studying?"

Jia Zheng had a bad feeling in his heart, not knowing what Jia She was going to say.

"I have arranged a marriage for you. The bride will be coming to you in a few days."

"When the time comes, pack up your things and go to Jingde Academy outside the city!"

Jingde Academy is a place in Shenjing City that is used to accommodate disobedient young men in the family.

The rules inside are very strict. If you want to get out after entering, you need the consent of each family.

Therefore, that place became a place for families to settle their disobedient and abandoned playboys.

Jia Zheng, who was familiar with the situation, misjudged and fell to the ground when he heard Jia She's arrangements for him.

Jia She wanted to imprison him completely and didn't even want him to return home.

Jia Zheng began to cry and repent.

"Brother, I know I was wrong, please don't send me there!"

Jia Zheng began to pull Jia She's trouser legs.

Jia She glanced at Jia Zheng lying on the ground and kicked him.

Jia Zheng was kicked so hard that he could hardly get up.

"There is no such thing as regret medicine in the world. I should have dealt with all the evil things you have done long ago."

"It's just that my father's last will and condition means that I can't really touch you."

"You are now truly in my hands. Even with my father's will, I will not let you go."

Jia She pushed open the door and went out. Mrs. Xing glanced inside the room and saw Jia Zheng, who was beaten like a pig's head, and quickly followed Jia She.

"Master, how is it?"

"Did the second brother cause any trouble?"

Jia She shook his head at Mrs. Xing.

"Don't worry, nothing went wrong."

"As for the You family, please set a date with them and try to have You marry into the family as soon as possible."

There was a flash of confusion in Mrs. Xing's eyes.

"Why is the master so anxious all of a sudden?"

Jia She turned around and glanced at Jia Zheng in the room from a distance.

"Someone can't wait any longer. Once he gets married, he will be sent to Jingde Academy."

Mrs. Xing fell behind Jia She and covered her mouth.

Being sent to Jingde Academy is equivalent to being imprisoned for life.

You deserve it. Wouldn't it be better for you to just stay in this house honestly?

It's a must.

Mrs. Xing hurried to catch up again.

Jia She went to Jia Mu's place and sat beside her bed.

When Lady Jia saw Jia She, she became emotional.

Jia She took out the medicine residue that Jia Zheng had stolen.

"Mother, you are really amazing."

"After taking the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, you can speak. Let my second brother save you!"

Jia She opened the bag wrapped with medicine residue.

The medicinal residue was revealed in front of Lady Jia.

"This is the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, mother!"

Jia She helped Lady Jia up, and her eyes fell on the medicine.

"I have always been confused about one thing. Why does mother like to make trouble so much?"

Grandmother Jia was babbling something, and it looked like she was scolding Jia She.

Jia She sighed at Jia's mother.

He doesn't want you to lie on the bed, but there's nothing he can do.

The trouble you caused has already affected the emperor.

The emperor doesn't want you to be alive anymore.

"That's it!"

"I won't scare you, mother, anymore. I have found a marriage for my second brother." (End of this chapter)
