The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 29 The psychic gem appears

Mrs. Wang did not participate in the last meal at Rongxi Hall, but she was not idle either.

Since Mrs. Zhang died of a hemorrhagic collapse, Mrs. Wang was ordered by Jia Mu to take charge of the house, which has lasted more than seven years.

But he said that after Mrs. Wang had lunch, she went to a side room behind the Rongxi Hall, where she handled daily affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.

She was absentmindedly cleaning up her accounts while waiting for good news from Zhou Rui's family.

After a while, Caixia led a woman about thirty-five years old, walked in quietly, knelt down and said:
"My slave, Zhou Rui's family, has seen Second Grandma, please be safe!"

Mrs. Wang put down the account book in her hand, glanced at her, and said softly:
"Get up! Tomorrow our family will move to Rongxi Hall. It's time to change our name to 'Mrs.'

Zhou Rui's family was overjoyed and said auspicious words. Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said:
"Don't talk nonsense. Did you handle the things I asked you to do a few days ago?"

Zhou Rui's family didn't answer immediately, looked around carefully, and then looked at Mrs. Wang.

It is really not appropriate for other people to know such confidential matters.

Mrs. Wang reacted quickly, frowned slightly, and said to Caiyun who was doing needlework in the room:

"Caiyun, take them outside to guard them."

Caiyun understood and led the maid and daughter-in-law out, closing the door while she stood guard at the door, never leaving.

Seeing this, Zhou Rui's family didn't hesitate. He took out an object tightly wrapped in red silk from his pocket, carefully handed it to Mrs. Wang's hand, and whispered:
"Qingxu Temple was burned, and Taoist Zhang is spending money everywhere to rebuild it."

"It's not as good as ours, so how can we not do our best? As you said, it will be done early in the morning."

Mrs. Wang said nothing and carefully untied the red silk.

He saw a jade stone as bright as haze, as big as a bird's egg, as smooth as crisp, and wrapped in five-color patterns, quietly appeared in front of him.

The room is full of jewels!

Taking a closer look, there are these few words engraved on its front door - Psychic gem, don't lose it, don't forget it, your immortal life will be prosperous.

There are also several words engraved on the reverse side - one to get rid of evil spirits, two to cure unjust diseases, and three to know the blessings and misfortunes.

Mrs. Wang looked at it carefully for a while, nodded repeatedly, put it away carefully, and said:
"Taoist Zhang, did you say anything else?"

The Taoist Zhang mentioned by Mrs. Wang is Jia Daishan's substitute. He became a monk in Qingxuguan. He had also saved Emperor Taikang's life before.

Therefore, he was promoted to an official position and was named "Lowu Zhenren", and now he is in charge of the Daolu Department.

However, Emperor Taikang was extremely poor and had no money to support him in rebuilding the Qingxuguan Temple.

It was inevitable that Taoist Zhang would return to his old profession, like a monk, often begging for help from wealthy people and doing some miraculous things for them.

The Zhou Rui family member tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying:

"It's not like I have any special instructions. On my brother's birthday every year, I take the jade with me and fulfill my wish in front of Yuanshi Tianzun..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was speechless. It was just a trick used by monks and Taoists to defraud money, hoping to make a long-term business.

He glanced at Zhou Rui's family and said:
"Ok!"

"It's good that you know this yourself."

"From now on, your family will serve by my brother's side, and it will be your own benefit."

"Also, Brother Mao was born with a jade in his mouth. Let your men escape without leaving a trace."

"Okay, nothing happens, just step back..."

After saying that, Mrs. Wang returned to her previous dull appearance, completely different from her shrewd appearance just now.

Jia Zhu, her eldest son, is eighteen years old. He studies hard like his father and has a good body. He is as hard as tofu and will break at the touch of a touch.

When I married Li Wan, I said I wanted to celebrate Jia Daishan, but in fact I wanted to give Jia Zhu a queen.

Like him, people don't know whether he will pass the exam or not, and it will be a miracle if he survives next year when the results are released.

In an era when mother is more valuable than son, what can Mrs. Wang do?
He had no choice but to focus all his attention on his second son Jia Mao.

After hearing some of the drama, Chuan Nuan told Jia Mao about the mysterious things that happened to the great figures in ancient times to cheer him up. It would be best to attract Jia's mother's attention, so that future glory and wealth will be at your fingertips.

Poor parents in the world!
Mrs. Wang secretly planned the harvest, and soon it would be time to harvest.

As she expected, within an hour, everyone in Rongguo Mansion knew that
Second Master Mao was born with a jade in his mouth and was born with a magical nature.
It has been worshiped by Grandpa Zhang for many years and is now made into a collar to wear.

His background is much nobler than that of Mr. Dai from Dongfu. He will definitely have a bright future.

The strange things that came out of Rongguo Mansion were known to everyone in Shenjing within a few days, and the whole city was abuzz. Everyone was amazed and said anything.

On this day, Emperor Taikang came down from the morning court and came to the Yangxin Hall as usual.

It's just that my heart can't calm down.

snort!
All the ministers in the dynasty are all vegetarians!
Even the famine in Shaanxi could not be resolved, and he was forced to use money from within to provide relief.

Earlier, when borrowing money from Emperor Taizong, everyone rushed to be the first, fearing that they would fall behind others and suffer a big loss.

Now, the court is in trouble, so it just wants them to pay back part of it.

Actually,

One by one, they all said that their families were in trouble, with hundreds of people to support, and that this year’s annual income was not good, and they were almost unable to open the door to the problem.

If you don't pay back a cent, you might want to borrow some more from the court.

What a bunch of greedy bitches!
When I free up my hands, I'll see how I deal with these idiots.

Emperor Taikang was sulking alone, and no one dared to disturb him.

Unknowingly, the palace lanterns were lit in the palace. It was the beginning of the lanterns, and thousands of lights were on.

In winter, the sun goes down quickly, making each day shorter.

A young eunuch who was not afraid of death reminded:
"Your Majesty, it's the time of year, it's time for dinner!"

Emperor Taikang raised his head with difficulty from the pile of memorials, twisted his neck, and made a soft "click" sound.

When Xia Shouzhong saw it, he quickly stepped forward and kneaded Emperor Taikang's neck gently.

Emperor Taikang had a look of enjoyment on his face, closed his eyes slightly, and hummed:
"Daban, is there anything strange happening in Shenjing recently?"

Xia Shouzhong hesitated and said:
"There is one thing, it came from Rongguo Mansion."

Emperor Taikang looked disdainful and said with a smile:

"Rongguo Mansion?"

"Jia's family?"

"Haha...what kind of joke is going on in their family?"

First, Jia Daihua cherished his son and cut the good Ningguo Mansion in half with a knife;

The Rongguo Mansion also followed suit and drove the Xijue man to live by the stable, just like a servant;
Tomorrow it will be the slave who arranges for the master;

Emperor Taikang didn't find it strange that a family rebelled against thieves and did any ridiculous things.

Xia Shouzhong rubbed it and said with a smile, "No!"

"Their family members are spreading rumors that Jia Zheng's second son, Jia Mao, was born with a jade in his mouth. He was born rich and his achievements in the future will surely surpass those of his ancestors!"

"Bastard thing!"

Emperor Taikang was furious and remembered the sad incident at the beginning of the year, when he almost died in the mutiny of the deposed prince. The Jia family was the chief culprit.

If they don't "hold the blame", they will become more and more complacent.

"What's going on? Does the Rongguo Mansion want to rebel again?"
