Red Mansion Jia Enhou
Chapter 383: Jia Zheng dies, at the celebration banquet, Nan'an causes trouble, and Jia's
When he heard the three words "Lin Daiyu", Jia Baoyu immediately raised his head.
But when he thought of the danger that Lady Jia was in, he lowered his head again.
"Baoyu?"
Jia Baoyu did not respond, but just lay on Grandmother Jia's lap in silence.
Grandmother Jia sighed.
"Your uncle is doing well now, and your sister Lin is also a good girl. If you can marry your sister Lin."
"Your life will be stable."
Jia Baoyu's eyelids twitched slightly. He also wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, but it was all in vain since his uncle and aunt were unwilling.
Looking at Jia Baoyu's silence, Grandmother Jia took a deep breath.
"Baoyu, you have to believe in yourself."
"As long as your sister Lin likes you, nothing is impossible."
Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up slightly, but it was almost impossible for Daiyu to like him.
Now Daiyu has her own father and her own mother. She is no longer the orphan with nothing in the original novel. So how could she fall in love with the current Jia Baoyu again?
"Madam, the master has sent someone here."
When the maid came in to report, a look of impatience appeared on Grandmother Jia's face.
"If the master wants to send someone, he can send someone. What's there to report?"
Grandmother Jia was still angry that Jia She didn't listen to her.
The old woman handed the opened envelope in her hand to Lady Jia. Lady Jia was a little confused when she looked at the open envelope in the old woman's hand.
"What is this for?"
The old woman bowed respectfully and replied.
"Madam, it was given to you by the master."
Grandmother Jia took it, opened it and started reading.
Inside the envelope was a letter with words she was familiar with. It was written to her by Jia Zheng.
Grandmother Jia opened it in shock.
"Baoyu, go out first."
Grandmother Jia gave Jia Baoyu an order, and after he left the room, she quickly opened the book and started reading.
It was written to her by Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng begged her in his heart to rescue him from exile.
"The boss asked you to give this to me?"
Grandmother Jia looked at the old woman in shock, and the old woman nodded to her.
"Replying to the old lady, it is the eldest master."
The boss asked me to take it. What does the boss mean?
Doesn't he mind the second one?
The peaceful life of Jia's mother was disrupted by a letter from Jia Zheng. There was no war in the northwest, so Jia Zheng, who was in the northwest, was transferred out of the barracks and taken to work in the mines in the northwest.
Jia Zheng in the mine no longer looked the same as before.
Every moment, Jia Zheng was thinking about going back.
The heavy work made Jia Zheng's hands rough, and the whip falling all the time made Jia Zheng feel tired.
When Jia's mother read the letter, she felt mixed emotions.
She wanted to save him, but she didn't have the ability to do so now.
Grandmother Jia put the letter in her hand back into its original envelope, pretending that it was no big deal and that she didn't care.
Jia She asked the servants about Lady Jia's condition, and the servants shook their heads at Jia She.
"The old lady was very quiet, as if she hadn't received anything."
The servant answered, Jia She nodded, and asked people to pay more attention to Lady Jia.
The servants left, and Jia Zheng's body at the northwest mine was already exhausted, and the whip fell.
Jia Zheng closed his eyes tiredly, and then rolled down from the mine.
The guards, who were used to seeing this, ran over to check what was going on. They put their hands on Jia Zheng's nose and found that he was dead.
Jia Zheng just died of anger.
On the other side, Rongguo Mansion was still preparing for Jia Zheng's wedding with great fanfare.
Just as Youshi was holding a rooster and worshiping heaven and earth, news came from outside.
"The second master is in exile."
"The second master is gone!"
While Grandmother Jia was still accepting the tea offered by Youshi, she heard from outside that Jia Zheng had passed away. The tea bowl in Grandmother Jia's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
There was shock in Jia She's eyes.
He didn't do anything, so why did he go?
"There was no war in the northwest, and the second master was transferred to the coal mine. He dug coal for a month, and then he rolled down the mountain from the coal mine and died."
The servant who came to report the news talked about the cause of Jia Zheng's death.
When Grandmother Jia came to her senses from her daze, she began to cry and slap the sides of her chair.
Jia She led people to see off the guests. Youshi had just married into the family and had to face the bad news of her husband's death.
Jia She came back again, and this time only people from the Jia family were left in the hall.
Grandmother Jia looked at Jia She with bloodshot eyes.
"You already knew that, right?"
"You killed your brother, didn't you?"
"You gave me your brother's letter that day in order to kill him."
Jia She was silent. How should he answer?
This matter has nothing to do with him.
He didn't even know that Jia Zheng had been transferred to the coal mine.
"Get the messenger!"
Jia She gave orders to people and Liu Changqing was escorted out.
"I think he knows more."
Jia She spoke indifferently to Lady Jia.
This matter has nothing to do with him, and Jia She will not take the blame.
It was rare for Liu Changqing to be released.
Looking at the room full of people from Rongguo Mansion, Liu Changqing's eyes fell on Jia She.
"It is a crime to detain people without permission."
Jia She remained silent. He knew it was a crime, so he used the privileges of a nobleman to file a case against him in the government office.
"Jia Zheng..."
"You are the one who sent the letter. Tell me what happened to Jia Zheng. He is dead now."
Liu Changqing, who was being escorted, was stunned.
"Jia Zheng is dead?"
Liu Changqing looked at Jia She in shock.
"Why did Jia Zheng die?"
"Didn't he say he could hold on?"
Listening to Liu Changqing's words, Jia She was a little confused. What did this mean?
"He died a few days after you delivered the letter."
Jia She explained the situation.
"Will you still give me the money?"
"Jia Zheng agreed. He said he would give me money if I helped him deliver the letter."
The relationship between Liu Changqing and Jia Zheng is that simple.
"Not only did you not give me the money, you also detained me privately."
"This is a crime!"
Jia She turned his eyes to Jia's mother and said, "What you have heard has nothing to do with him. It was Jia Zheng who died because he could not withstand the pressure."
Without the war, the prisoners exiled to the barracks would have to be transferred elsewhere.
Otherwise, what about staying in the barracks and eating nothing?
Jia She glanced at Jia Mu again, and Jia Mu's eyes turned dark and she fell away.
When Jia She looked at Liu Changqing again, he found him boring.
"Let him go!"
Jia She gave orders, and everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was hung with mourning clothes.
Yuanchun had an indescribable feeling in her heart, depressed and uncomfortable.
Now she is truly an orphan.
"my money!"
Liu Changqing looked at Jia She with some pleading.
"That money is very important to me. Duke, please have mercy on me. It's not easy for me to make this trip."
Jia She has already found out Liu Changqing's background, and he is just a poor man.
"The person who framed you, my countryman has already reported the case to the court."
"As for the money...that's what Jia Zheng promised you."
Jia She ordered Liu Changqing to be thrown out, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
This was a dangerous rebel. Jia She was shocked when he found out the information he had sent people to check.
This guy was safe only during the period of exile since he was a child. The rest of the time he thought he could change the world after learning a few tricks, and he kept shouting about this and that being unfair.
The world is inherently unfair, and I feel that I am not an ordinary person and I work hard.
There are many people who hate the rich and envy the nobles, but you are really bold enough to speak so recklessly.
Liu Changqing was arrested and looked at the gate of Rongguo Mansion with a look of indignation and hatred. The old doorman threw out a small bag of copper coins from the gatehouse.
If Liu Changqing is willing to work hard, this small bag of copper coins will be enough for him to survive until he finds a job.
"The master is charitable and has always been generous. After taking this small bag of copper coins, don't come to the gate of Rongguo Mansion again."
The old man said without even raising his head.
Liu Changqing stared at the money bag on the ground for a long time, and finally picked it up.
The few copper coins inside were far less than what Liu Changqing wanted for this trip.
Liu Changqing had no choice but to take the coin and leave.
Because Jia Zheng had been ill for several days, Jia She's charges were cleared. Jia Zheng died on his own and it had nothing to do with Jia She.
Time passed slowly. The Prince of Nan'an returned from the southeast. The emperor held a celebration banquet as usual, and Jia She was also at the banquet.
Compared with Jia She's merit of defeating the northwest and surrendering the Later Jin, the celebration banquet for Prince Nan'an of the Qianxiang Women's Kingdom, which was only a small victory, was a bit stingy.
This made the Prince of Nan'an somewhat dissatisfied.
They are all nobles and they both won battles, so why is there such a big gap between them?
The Prince of Nan'an stood up in dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I have been stationed in the southeast for so long, I want to retire and return home."
After listening to what the Prince of Nan'an said, the ministers knew that he was going to cause trouble.
You are so bold! It was good enough that the emperor didn't refuse to hold a celebration banquet for you because of your previous poor attack and defense. Now he starts to complain and says he wants to retire and return home.
It was a great celebration banquet, but the atmosphere started to become subtle.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and suddenly clenched his hand holding the cup.
He starts to feel proud of himself even before he has achieved anything.
The emperor's face was grim.
"The Prince of Nan'an is getting drunk?"
"I am not drunk, I just want to retire and return home."
"You are not drunk, then I will agree to your request and let you retire and return home!"
The emperor stood up.
The ministers looked at the scene before them and stood up one after another.
The Prince of Nan'an is proud of his achievements and is unable to handle great responsibilities.
The ministers have their own standards in their hearts.
The Prince of Nan'an might not live long, and the ministers who looked at him as if he were a dead man left the scene.
The Prince of Nan'an was still in a daze. Just agreed like that?
He had returned after having made a contribution, and the Nan'an Concubine Dowager, who was very disappointed with him, slapped the Prince of Nan'an in the face.
"You can threaten His Majesty?"
"Just because you won a small victory, you are so proud of yourself. If you really fight a big battle and come back victorious, will you take off the emperor's hat and put it on yourself?"
"That's not what I meant, Mother."
"I just don't accept it"
Prince Nan'an glanced at his own celebration banquet.
"They were all victories, so why did Jia She make such a big fuss about it?"
"My"
Prince Nan'an's eyes were full of disgust for his celebration banquet.
This banquet was not even as good as the small banquet held by his own Nan'an Palace. How could this be called a celebration banquet?
"So that's why you're speaking ill of His Majesty?"
Prince Nan'an remained silent, and Concubine Nan'an slapped him in the face again.
"You are courting death. Go and kneel before His Majesty."
The Concubine Dowager of Nan'an gave orders to the Prince of Nan'an, but the Prince of Nan'an looked unwilling to persuade the lady.
"Why should I kneel?"
"I'm just a little dissatisfied, is that so serious?"
Looking at her ungrateful son, Concubine Nan'an's eyes became more filled with disappointment.
Just slap him again and leave.
She went to the palace of the retired emperor alone to cry and ask for help.
There was helplessness in the eyes of the retired emperor.
"Mingzi, tell me how much help I have given you?"
"The emperor is also a human being. Nan'an is so ignorant that he dared to be so rude to the emperor at the banquet. You still want the emperor to forgive him."
The emperor sighed towards Concubine Nan'an.
"The emperor has been very tolerant of you. I can't help you with this."
"Go back!"
"Brother Emperor!"
The Concubine Nan'an was dragged out, and as she was being carried, she kept shouting "The Emperor Retired".
In Xuanzheng Hall, the emperor angrily swept away everything in front of him.
Seeing the emperor's angry look, people in the hall knelt down before him.
"His Majesty!"
The emperor sat on the chair with anger in his eyes.
The queen came in person to comfort the emperor, but he was so angry that he hugged the queen and started crying.
"Bold, bold, he is so bold!"
The emperor roared angrily.
The queen stroked the emperor's head from time to time.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry anymore."
"Queen!"
The emperor burst into tears out of frustration.
"Who gave him the courage to bully me like this?"
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry anymore. The Prince of Nan'an dared to disrespect Your Majesty like this, so Your Majesty does not need to show mercy."
"Your Majesty, aren't you ready to eliminate the lineage of the Fourth Prince?"
The queen tried her best to comfort the emperor, and the emperor looked at the queen with sobs.
"I just can't get enough of it."
"I understand your majesty."
"Your Majesty, do not be sad anymore."
The emperor took a deep breath and asked about the situation, and the young eunuch answered the emperor.
After the banquet, Concubine Nan'an began to teach Prince Nan'an a lesson. Prince Nan'an refused to admit his mistake, which made Concubine Nan'an leave in anger.
After that, he went to find the emperor, but the emperor didn't pay much attention to it.
The emperor nodded to the young eunuch.
“They are courting their own demise.”
On the way, Jia She felt that he might not be able to rest any longer, so he looked at his old waist.
I'm afraid my old waist is going to suffer again.
Jia She was beating his chest and wanted to go back, but now Lady Jia was still seriously ill.
As a son, he had to go and see. Looking at Lady Jia lying on the sickbed, Jia She shook his head in his heart.
If we had known today, why did we do it in the first place?
All these things were the root cause of the trouble planted by Grandmother Jia, who also promoted the development of the trouble.
If Jia She is really a bad guy, his future will probably be the same.
That's it, that's it.
The imperial physician who came to diagnose the case shook his head at Jia She.
Grandmother Jia's health was already in bad condition, and now that Jia Zheng was dead, it became her death warrant.
"My Lord, I'm afraid the old lady in the Ling Mansion won't live long."
The imperial physician spoke to Jia She in a low voice.
Jia She glanced at Lady Jia lying on the sickbed again.
"How much time is left?"
The imperial physician raised three fingers towards Jia She.
"Thirty days at most."
Jia She nodded slightly to the imperial physician.
"The Duke knows."
As there were only thirty days left to live, Jia She personally sent the imperial physician out.
He also sent someone to call Jia Min and told her that Grandmother Jia did not have much time left.
Jia Min's eyes were complicated and her mood became heavy.
All the grudges from the past will disappear with death.
"The imperial physician said how long mother can live."
"Thirty days."
Jia She told Jia Min, and Jia Min stood up.
"I'll go see her."
Jia Min walked towards Rongqing Hall, and Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min's back with worry in his eyes.
He was afraid that his mother-in-law would threaten to commit suicide to force Jia Min to agree to something.
"Brother, I'm going to accompany Min'er." (End of this chapter)
