Red Mansion Jia Enhou

The little fat man looked at Jia She with half belief and half doubt.

Is it really that good?
He needs to grow a brain, the little fat boy's face is completely wrinkled into a bun.

"You are still young, so don't think too much."

Jia She put his hand on the fat boy's head, which was really a heart-breaking move.

The little fat man raised his head and looked at Jia She cautiously.

His father-in-law once told him that the person in front of him was the one who could not be trusted in the Great Chu.

Jia She smiled with a pure and kind face, looking just like Uncle Wang from next door.

The little fat man walked on the path leading out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion with doubts in his heart.

Baoyu, who was coming home from school, bumped into the fat boy while carrying his schoolbag.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

When Jia Baoyu saw the little fat man, he felt guilty and became alert.

"Why are you here?"

Jia Baoyu spoke haltingly.

The little fat man glanced at Jia Baoyu who was speaking.

He is only three years old. Don't bother with him. Don't bother with him.

The little fat man hypnotized himself in his heart.

Jia Baoyu started running back desperately.

"Uncle!"

Jia Baoyu ran to Jia She's study.

There was a flash of surprise in Jia She's eyes.

"Why are you here, Baoyu!"

Jia Baoyu held onto the door frame and looked up with anxiety in his eyes.

"Uncle, why did the prince of the Jin Kingdom come to our house?"

Jia Baoyu looked at Jia She and spoke.

Is he here to seek revenge on him?

Jia Baoyu was a little scared.

If they really came to seek revenge on him, he would be finished.

By then, his crazy father will definitely come to trouble him again.

Knowing what Jia Baoyu was thinking, Jia She was a little amused and helpless.

"what happened?"

"He didn't go to see my father?"

At this moment, Jia She really couldn't help laughing.

"Did not go!"

Jia Baoyu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is Baoyu doing in the school these days?"

Jia She began to care about Jia Baoyu's studies.

Jia Baoyu answered truthfully out of embarrassment.

“It’s a bit strenuous!”

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jia She's eyes. If he remembered correctly, Jia Baoyu had some talent in studying.

“I started learning late.”

"I've fallen behind in a lot of lessons, so it's a bit difficult for me to study."

Jia She looked at Jia Baoyu with understanding in his eyes.

It takes time to catch up on your studies, especially when you are so young.

"Just take your time to make up for it. Baoyu, don't push yourself too hard."

Jia Baoyu nodded slightly.

"Come back soon, your grandmother is probably still waiting for you."

Jia Baoyu nodded again.

Little did she know that Grandmother Jia, who couldn't wait for Jia Baoyu to return, had already sent people to look for him.

By the time Jia Baoyu returned to Grandmother Jia's courtyard, Grandmother Jia's eyes were already full of anxiety.

"Why did Baoyu come back late today?"

Grandmother Jia asked Jia Baoyu with a worried look in her eyes.

Jia Baoyu didn't want to scare his mother, so he subconsciously concealed what happened to the fat boy in the mansion today.

But paper cannot contain the fire.

Grandmother Jia did not learn her lesson and once again used some people from the second wife's house around her.

Fortunately, she is smarter now.

Although she used people from the second house, the servants around her were still those arranged by Jia She.

The second wife interrupted.

"The Second Master ran into the little prince of the Kingdom of Jin whom he had beaten in the mansion today."

While changing the tea for Lady Jia, the old woman told her why Jia Baoyu came back late today.

Jia Baoyu's brows frowned instantly.

The old woman continued to reveal as if she couldn't understand the difference between his eyebrows and eyes.

"The Second Master once beat the little prince of the Kingdom of Jin at the instigation of the Second Master Lian."

"you shut up!"

Jia Baoyu could no longer sit still and stood up to shut the old woman up.

"Who asked you to speak?"

Jia Baoyu began to look unhappy.

The old woman didn't take the young Jia Baoyu seriously at all.

The old woman retorted and began to exaggerate.

Lady Jia, who was unaware of this matter, frowned.

"The Second Master is unhappy."

"Mr. Lian is just using you as a weapon to make profits for himself."

"I stood up for you, and you're still angry."

"I told you to shut up, don't you understand?"

Although Jia Baoyu's mood has been stable recently, it does not mean that he is really good-tempered.

Looking at the endless old woman, Jia Baoyu picked up something convenient on the table and threw it at her.

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Baoyu in shock.

After being beaten by the old woman, she finally behaved herself. Jia Baoyu looked at his grandmother with a serious expression.

"Grandma, don't listen to her."

"This woman is trying to sow discord!"

Grandmother Jia’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Baoyu, you are still young, don't let others use you as a gun."

Given the relationship between the two houses, Grandmother Jia was more willing to believe what the old woman said.

"Grandma, don't listen to this woman!"

Jia Baoyu looked anxiously at his mother, who was about to be provoked.

"It's totally different from what this woman said. Second Brother Lian has never really used me."

"That time it was also Prince Zhongshun."

Jia Baoyu quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late. Everything he should know and shouldn't know was revealed through his unintentional words.

Shocked, Grandmother Jia pulled down Jia Baoyu's hand that was covering his mouth.

"Baoyu, what did you just say?"

Jia Baoyu lowered his head and didn't look at his grandmother.

"Baoyu, do you know what the relationship is between Prince Zhongshun and your father?"

With so much resources invested in people, even a pig can be promoted, but Jia Zheng has been in office for more than ten years.

Even though this has issues with his personal abilities and morals, it is more about the fact that some people don't want him to move up.

As for who this person is.
Grandmother Jia had thought about the emperor, but how could an emperor always pay attention to a small person?

So it goes without saying that this person is the Prince Zhongshun who had always been against the Rongguo Mansion before Jia She came to power. He is the only one who has the strength to go against the four princes and eight dukes of the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Baoyu's eyes showed confusion towards his grandmother.

"What's the problem, Lord Zhongshun?"

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Baoyu and took a deep breath.

"Baoyu, listen to your grandmother. From now on, you should have less contact with Prince Zhongshun."

"why?"

The confusion in Jia Baoyu's eyes deepened.

"Prince Zhongshun is kind to others, and he doesn't speak to me with contempt like most other people do."

"Why doesn't grandma allow me to have contact with Prince Zhongshun?"

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Baoyu as if she had seen a ghost.

Prince Zhongshun and kind, how do you connect these two words together?

"Baoyu, you are confused. You said Prince Zhongshun is kind?"

Jia Baoyu nodded heavily with a serious expression.

"Do you know what the rumors about this prince are out there?"

There was helplessness in Jia Baoyu's eyes.

Seeing is believing. Grandma, you have lived for so long and still don’t understand this?

"Grandma, please stop talking."

"People outside can spread whatever they want, but in my eyes, the prince is just a good man!"

Not enough words to speculate.

Jia Baoyu bowed to his grandmother and was about to leave.

"Baoyu, stop!"

Grandmother Jia shouted to Jia Baoyu anxiously.

Jia Baoyu stopped and looked at his grandmother.

"Grandma, do you have anything else to say?"

"Prince Zhongshun has long disliked Rongguo Mansion and your father. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

Jia Baoyu was silent for a while.

Not wanting to argue with Lady Jia, Jia Baoyu left with his schoolbag.

Grandmother Jia was so angry that she could not stand it in her own yard.

Until Jia Zheng came over, Grandmother Jia looked at him coldly.

"Do you know that Baoyu is hanging out with that Zhongshun Prince?"

"What happened to Baoyu?"

Jia Zheng looked at his grandmother without any emotion.

Baoyu is not qualified to be with Prince Zhongshun.

Jia Mu took a deep breath.

"Do you know that Prince Zhongshun instigated Baoyu to beat up the little prince of the Jin Kingdom?"

Jia Zheng nodded woodenly.

He almost beat Baoyu that time.

"What's the problem, Mother?"

The Later Jin Dynasty was almost destroyed.

Just beat him up.

Honglu Temple, the fat boy returns from Rongguo Mansion.

Envoys from many countries lived in the Honglu Temple, and the Later Jin Dynasty had previously helped the Tatars.

The emperor did not arrange a good courtyard for them.

The little fat man trotted to a remote courtyard in the Honglu Temple.

"Father!"

Sodrolo is still bedridden.

When the door was opened, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Sodrolo leaned against the head of the bed, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.

The little fat boy's eyes turned red.

"Father!"

The little fat man shouted into the house again.

Sozhuolo coughed weakly. Looking at Sozhuolo's appearance, the fat man who came in couldn't help but lie down beside his bed and sobbed softly.

"My third brother has rebelled, my father and my brothers have passed away, you can't abandon me again, father!"

Suozhuo forced himself to touch the face of the little fat man who was dressed like a Han Chinese.

"Don't cry, Your Highness. Sodrolo is fine."

"Father!"

"Your Highness went to the Rongguo Mansion. What was the reaction of the Rong Marquis?"

"Does he really support Da Chu in helping us restore our country?"

The fat boy nodded towards Sodroro.

"Da Chu is willing, but we have to pay some price."

"What price?"

Sodrolo looked serious.

The fat boy lowered his head.

"We need to move away from Liaodong."

"Where to move?"

Sodrolo became more excited and the fat boy lowered his head.

"Mobei."

"Then Jia She said that even if we recover half of the lost territory, we will not be able to keep it."

These are all excuses.

Sodroro closed his eyes and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

It is true that the Great Chu does not want to see Jin continue to occupy Liaodong.

Liaodong is a fertile land.

Although there are wolves everywhere and wild beasts often appear there, it is not a problem for those who huddle together for warmth.

The Great Chu wanted to cut off the roots of the Jin people's resurgence.

"Father!"

The little fat boy used his hands to wipe away Sodroro's tears desperately.

While wiping, I was crying too.

"What else did Jia She say to His Highness?"

The little fat boy spoke with sobs.

"He told me that I was still young and shouldn't think too much."

Sodroro took a deep breath.

Being confused may be a good thing.

"Father, Jia She and Da Chu want to harm us?"

There was clear stupidity in the little fat boy's eyes.

Not wanting to involve the fat boy, Sodroro, who was overthinking, shook his head.

"As Jia She said, Your Highness, please don't think too much." "It may be a good thing for us to move away from Liaodong now."

Some things just have to be accepted.

The current Later Jin Dynasty really cannot withstand the attack of the Tatars.

Even if the Great Chu returned Liaodong to them, they would not be able to bear it.

In this case, perhaps moving to Mobei would be a good thing.

"Your Highness, please take out the piece of paper from the box on the left side under the bed."

The little fat man obediently bent down to look for it, and soon a map appeared in front of Sodrolo.

Suozhuo pointed his finger at the mountains that ran through the Liaodong region.

“This is our root!”

The words "Changbai Mountain" were marked on the map, and the fat boy imprinted the appearance of Changbai Mountain deeply in his mind.

Sodrolo pointed his finger at another place.

"This is Mobei."

“Beyond the three passes of Humen, Shanhai and Jiayu.”

Sodrolo scratched a deep line on the map with his fingernail.

“This is where we’re going to live from now on!”

Sodroro pointed to the fenced-off area.

The place is not small, and is not much smaller than Liaodong where they are.

"This place is rich in water and grass. It used to belong to the Xiongnu and the once-powerful Liao. Later, it also belonged to our Great Jin. Now it belongs to the Great Chu and the Tatars."

"Da Chu is willing to give us the part they occupy. We can't avoid fighting him."

Sodrolo's hand fell heavily on the Tatar map.

The fat boy's expression changed.

"Your Highness is afraid?"

Noticing that something was wrong with the little fat man, Sodrolo asked him.

The little fat man looked at Sodroro, his eyes full of determination and shook his head.

"I'm not afraid, father. My father once told me."

"The reason why we Jurchens have been able to develop is because of our courage."

The little fat man couldn't help waving his fists.

There was a flash of satisfaction in Sodroro's eyes.

"Your Highness has really grown up."

"The Jurchens were able to develop thanks to their courage, but more importantly, their indomitable spirit."

"It takes more than courage for our ancestors to survive through migration and war."

The fat boy looked at Sodrolo with understanding.

"So we still have to fight the Tatars?"

The fat boy asked Sodroro.

"beat!"

A gleam of light flashed in Sodroro's eyes.

"Fighting is inevitable, but how to fight? There is a saying in Da Chu: use the opponent's force to fight him back."

"So Your Highness understands what I mean?"

The little fat man nodded slightly. He roughly understood that it was to use the power of the Chu to attack the Tatar.

Children can be taught!

Sodrolo touched the fat boy's head again.

The little fat boy felt insecure and lay down beside Sodroro's bed.

After a while, snoring sounds were heard.

Suozhuolo gave a look to the people from the Jin Kingdom delegation.

The delegation members came over.

He wanted to meet Jia She in person to find out what the Emperor of Chu really meant.

The Tatars are entrenched in the northern desert.

The Great Chu kept saying that it would protect them, but now it is sending them into the tiger's mouth.

The members of the delegation understood and made arrangements.

That evening, Jia She received a letter from Suo Zhuoluo in Rongguo Mansion.

Open this post and read the words on it.

A smile appeared on Jia She's lips.

You old fox finally come out. What’s the point of instigating a child to complain about his misery everywhere?

Do you really think that all the officials in the Chu State are brain-dead trash?
How can you just get benefits without paying anything in return?

If the Great Chu of Liaodong wants to occupy it, the Great Chu of Mobei will not really let it go.

After closing the letter, Jia She gave instructions to Lin Zhixiao.

"There will be important guests coming tomorrow, don't let anyone at home bump into them."

He couldn't guarantee whether there were any gaps between people in Rongguo Mansion.

If there is, it would be bad if the conversation was exposed.

Lin Zhixiao nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry, sir. I will order people to surround the front."

Jia She nodded lightly. He was looking forward to tomorrow.

On the other side, in Rongqing Hall.

Jia Zheng was accepting Jia Mu's roar.

"Are you crazy, allowing Baoyu and Lian'er to get together?"

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Zheng anxiously.

Jia Zheng responded to Lady Jia in silence.

"Lian'er is not really a fool. Do you really think he can't see what you two did?"

Jia Zheng lowered his head.

"I advised you all back then not to use too many tricks on Lian'er."

"He may not know it because he is young, and he cannot detect it."

"When he grows up, how can he not cause trouble to you?"

"Letting Baoyu be with him now is like pushing Baoyu into the fire pit?"

This is really judging a gentleman by one's own mean character.

There was really no need for Jia Lian to target Jia Baoyu, who was only three years old and posed no threat to him.

"Don't let your imagination run wild, Mother."

Jia Zheng comforted Lady Jia.

He really didn't hear a word that Lady Jia said.

Grandmother Jia was completely furious and picked up something and threw it at Jia Zheng.

"Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"My words weren't clear enough?"

Jia Zheng glanced at his mother, who was suffering from paranoia, and took a deep breath.

"Mother, can you please stop thinking about it?"

Seeing Jia Zheng sounding impatient, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but laugh.

Is she willing to think more?
It's all because you two are so immoral.

If you hadn't praised and suppressed Jia Lian so much, she wouldn't be as frightened as she is now.

"Lian'er didn't harm Baoyu."

"Prince Zhongshun didn't treat Baoyu as a sword. Baoyu is not qualified to be his sword."

Zhongshun is not so mean as to target a child.

Jia Zheng's guess was correct.

Prince Zhongshun still has some vision, but the exception is Jia Baoyu who comes later. The reason is that this kid has been spoiled and has become a fool.

When you go to visit someone, just be a visitor. Why don't you call others your sisters?

Not to mention that Daiyu is also in it.

And from what we can see right now, it seems that Prince Zhongshun has a good relationship with Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was truly unexpected.

I thought he was treated so badly because he was neutral and was not loved by his parents.

Now it seems that this old guy should have hooked up with the emperor a long time ago.

It is hard to say who will end up with millions of silver coins every year.

So Jia Baoyu deserved to be half-dead later on.

Grandmother Jia's anger grew stronger and stronger.

What Jia Zheng said is right.

Grandmother Jia began to become angry.

"Baoyu is your only son now, nothing can happen to him!"

Grandmother Jia has always emphasized the importance of Jia Baoyu.

Jia Zheng glanced at Lady Jia and spoke calmly.

"I know, but my mother's idea is too absurd."

"Stop imagining that!"

Jia Zheng comforted Lady Jia again.

"Waste, you are such a waste!"

Grandmother Jia's eyes were full of anger and she started scolding Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng lowered his head and let his grandmother scold him, but she would not be able to get away with it without a piece of meat.

But don’t even think about asking Jia Baoyu to stop associating with Jia Lian.

Jia Zheng just endured the scolding from his grandmother until his mouth was dry from scolding, and Jia Zheng didn't say a word.

Feeling like she was talking to a cow, Lady Jia was so angry that she couldn't calm down.

The old woman quietly retreated and went to find Jia She to report what happened here today to Jia's mother.

Jia She listened slowly and calmly.

When the old woman talked about Jia Lian, Jia She felt like laughing.

He believes everything you say about Prince Zhongshun, but what about Jia Lian?

Jia She really couldn't hold it anymore.

She is really old and confused, Jia She smiled and shook his head in his heart.

If you jump to conclusions without even sending anyone to investigate, you will end up hurting yourself sooner or later.

"Is there anything else the old lady is doing?"

The old woman shook her head at Jia She.

"It's just that my aunt went to visit the old lady."

Jia She nodded slightly and the old woman left.

Lin Zhixiao walked in again.

"Master, old master Dairu wants to quit his job in the clan school."

Jia She frowned.

By quitting his job in the clan school, does Jia Dairu want to stop living?

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is almost right.

Although the place where Jia Dairu and his grandson lived was not big, the food they used was all the best.

Those few hundred acres of land alone are not enough to support the current lives of the two of them.

And now he wants to quit his job as the clan school teacher.

"Uncle Dai Ru is really making a fuss. Did he say why he resigned?"

Jia She looked at Lin Zhixiao.

Lin Zhixiao began to whisper in Jia She's ear.

Originally, Jia Dairu passed the examination and was appointed as a ninth-rank clerk in the Imperial Medical Service.

Although the official position is small, it is still an official position.

Since you are an official, you cannot hold any other position outside.

Jia She couldn't help laughing. This was really like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

The clerk looked like an official, but in fact he was just a handyman in the Imperial Hospital.

Once you're inside, being ordered around is no big deal, but it's not worth it to tire out your old bones.

"Send someone to persuade him."

"Although the clan school can't give him anything, it can ensure that he and his grandson will have enough food and clothing, and they will be able to enter the Imperial Hospital."

"The little monthly salary is not enough to survive."

After all, he is his uncle, and Jia She really doesn't want to see Jia Dairu go astray and make choices that would harm himself.

But Jia She really underestimated him.

Although the Great Chu Dynasty did not have many military generals, it also valued civil officials over military officials.

No matter how incompetent Jia Dairu was, he was still a scholar, and the title of scholar meant nothing in the formal civil service system.

But it was different when I went to the Imperial Hospital.

In addition to Jia Dairu's status and age, if the people from the Imperial Hospital wanted to bully him, they would have to consider the importance of the Rongguo Mansion.

If you don't want to offend the Rongguo Mansion, you must treat Jia Dairu well.

"go quickly!"

Lin Zhixiao turned around.

Jia She, thinking of Jia Jing, called him back.

"Master, is there anything else?"

Lin Zhixiao turned around.

"Has the Ning Mansion already known about this?"

All the affairs of the Jia family school are now managed by Jia Jing.

I don't know whether Jia Dairu handed his resignation to Jia Jing. Jia Jing is a decisive person. As long as Jia Dairu dares to hand it in, Jia Jing will approve it immediately.

After all, blocking someone's future is like killing their parents.

Jia Jing would not be as nosy as him.

"should not."

Lin Zhixiao answered, and Jia She felt relieved.

Although Jia Dairu is a corrupt scholar, he is the most upright person among the elders of the Rong and Ning states.

Ran was such a person, who lost his father in his early years, his son in his middle age, and his grandson in his old age.

Just like this person, but there was no good ending.

When Jia She was reading A Dream of Red Mansions, he was filled with sadness over the death of Jia Dairu.

Especially when he read about Jia Rui molesting Wang Xifeng, he wished he could get in and strangle Jia Rui to death.

This is just courting death. Wang Xifeng is known as Feng Lazi, how could she be so easily teased?

It didn't matter if he died, but he suffered the loss of his son in middle age, and Jia Dairu had a miserable old age because of him.

"Go!"

Jia She gave instructions to Lin Zhixiao.

Lin Zhixiao bowed again and turned to leave.

On the other hand, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen in Jinling also made progress.

Through Shi Nai, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen collected a lot of evidence of the crimes of the Jia family in Jinling.

At the same time, the two of them also had the day to meet the old fox-like Jinling prefect.

The two men mounted their horses and mustered all their energy to deal with the prefect of Jinling.

At the same time, the emperor's secret guards also found Zhen Shiyin and found him. (End of this chapter)
