Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 55 Jia Jing: Are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 55 Jia Jing: Are you teaching me how to do things?
……

It is said that Mrs. Wang took pain-relieving pills and applied burn medicine, and finally she felt better. Several maids brought new clothes for Mrs. Wang to change into, and then everyone came out from the back.

Mrs. Wang was still thinking: That pain-relieving pill is really good. I should find some time to ask Dongfu where he bought it from. I should also prepare some at home...

For Baoyu.

At this time, the originally bustling Lixiangyuan had become quiet, Jia's mother was gone, and there was still a faint sound of crying in the other room.

"What's going on here?"

Just now, everyone was only concerned about Madam Wang's injury and didn't pay attention to this side. They only heard faintly "It's not good, it's not good."

Ping Er whispered, "The master of the concubine's family was kidnapped by the officials. I heard that he will be taken back to Shuntian Prefecture to be punished."

Mrs. Wang suddenly realized that she was still angry just now and she was scalded by tea. The mother and daughter didn't even show their faces. It turned out that something happened to Xue Pan.

That's understandable.

Her sister has a hard time too.

Mrs. Wang’s saintly heart kicked in.

Everyone helped Mrs. Wang into the house.

Aunt Xue was lying on the bed with a disgusted look on her face.

Baochai's eyes also had redness.

The other ladies, Yingchun and Tanchun, who were accompanying Baochai, also seemed to have cried.

When they saw Mrs. Wang coming, they all stood up and greeted her.

Aunt Xue also forced herself to sit up and was about to speak when she was stopped by Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang comforted her, "I know everything. Don't worry. Since we are in this family, the master will take care of everything. He will never let Pan'er get into trouble."

Sister Feng also laughed and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. It's just a scoundrel who was beaten to death. It doesn't matter."

Feng Ji took the fact that Xue Pan beat someone to death the least seriously, thinking it was nothing at all.

The Duke's Mansion can't even protect one person?
Even if the West Palace cannot be saved, there is still the East Palace.

The emperor gave some face to Master Jing.

Everyone was trying to comfort Aunt Xue, and after a while, Jia Lian and Baoyu came over.

Baoyu walked forward and rolled into Mrs. Wang's arms.

Mrs. Wang didn't care and hugged her subconsciously.

Suddenly, Mrs. Wang took a breath of cold air.

"what happened?"

Baoyu blinked and asked in confusion.

He had been outside just now and didn't know that Mrs. Wang was burned.

Mrs. Wang felt that the skin on her body had been pressed down by Baoyu's big buttocks, so she pushed Baoyu and said, "You get up first."

Sister Feng hurriedly pulled Baoyu up and said, "Madam is not feeling well. Don't go upstairs for now. Go find the old ancestor."

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Madam Wang said with all her might, "Give me some painkillers!"

"Madam, the medicine is here."

Jin Chuan'er took the pills.

Yuchuaner brought warm water.

The two maids helped Mrs. Wang take the pills, and only then did she feel better.

Sister Feng laughed and said, "I don't know where this filial son Rong got all these pills from. They really work."

Ping Er smiled and said, "Master Rong said this is a pill made by Master Sun. It costs one ounce of silver per pill. Taking one pill when you feel pain is very effective. But he warned you that 'all medicines are three-quarters poison', so you must not take too much."

What a petty person!
Isn’t it just one or two taels of silver each?
Who do you look down on?
Mrs. Wang immediately arranged:

"Ask them to buy two kilograms and keep them at home."

"By the way, ask Xiren if there are any more of the Yangshen Anrong Pills that Baoyu often takes, and buy two or three pounds of them."

"Miss Lin should stop taking the ginseng nourishing pills for now. She is not here recently and the East Palace is not short of medicine."

Fengjie agreed to all of them.

……

Xue Pan’s matter is a big deal, so naturally it cannot be discussed here. We have to ask the two masters in the mansion to make the decision.

At one moment, everyone came to the main hall of Rongguo Mansion.

Grandmother Jia sat in the seat at the top with a stern face, while Sister Feng stood beside her to serve her.

Jia She and Jia Zheng were sitting below, both with serious looks on their faces.

The two wives of King Xing were sitting below, one with a blank expression, the other with a worried look on her face.

Aunt Xue was sitting in the guest seat wiping her tears, and Baochai was standing quietly behind her.

Jia Lian was standing in the hall.

The rest of the people did not come.

half an hour.

Grandmother Jia, who was sitting above, said calmly: "Pan'er's affairs involve the government office, so it is not convenient for us to speak. You two masters should make the decision." In fact, Grandmother Jia didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Xue family at all, and she said this just to give her daughter-in-law face.

Jia She sat upright with a serious face, not saying a word.

What Xue family, what does it have to do with me?

Seeing that no one spoke, Jia Zheng could only sigh and said, "Pan'er's case involves murder and even alarmed the Ministry of Justice, but we don't have any acquaintances in the Ministry of Justice, so it's difficult to talk to them."

Madam Wang said, "Master, last time..."

"Cough cough."

The lady above suddenly coughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Mrs. Wang immediately stopped talking.

Jia Zheng frowned and said, "Last time... can beating someone be the same as killing someone? I can't do anything about this matter. I can only see if Brother Dongfu Jing can ask the Ministry of Justice for mercy and a lighter sentence."

"Lian'er, go to the East Palace and tell us what happened."

Jia Lian immediately panicked and said, "Second uncle, you know what I am talking about. The master called me over and scolded me a while ago, saying that I was ignorant and useless. If I go over now, I'm afraid I'll make the master angry, and it will be difficult for me to say anything."

Everyone: "..."

Jia Zheng sighed again.

There is not a single capable one!
"In that case, I'll go and talk to you."

He didn't want to get scolded either.

I just can’t bear to see the eldest branch of the Xue family, one of the four major families, die out!

Especially my sister-in-law's house.

Aunt Xue hurriedly stood up and thanked her.

Baochai also followed suit and bowed.

Jia Zheng couldn't go to help him himself, so he asked Mrs. Wang to help him. He left Rong Xi Tang and went to the East Palace to find Jia Jing.

"Brother, can you find someone to take a look at the Xue family's affairs and make them lighter? At least leave a descendant for the Xue family's eldest branch. After all, we are old relatives, and we have always shared weal and woe..."

Jia Jing raised his head and glanced at Jia Zheng indifferently.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Jia Zheng was suddenly frightened.

"Brother, I... am not..."

"You mean to ask me to bend the law for personal gain?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, brother, I was wrong..."

Jia Zheng almost knelt down.

Jia Jing sneered:

"The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules!"

"If you give him a lighter sentence today and he gives you a lighter sentence tomorrow, what is the point of the law?"

"That beast is still so arrogant after letting his slave commit the crime. It's obvious that he has no intention of repenting. If I give him a lighter sentence this time, if he kills someone again in the future, will you be responsible or am I?"

"I think you've wasted all these years studying. The more you learn, the more you go backwards!"

Jia Zheng nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, big brother taught me the lesson."

"I know I was wrong!"

"Let's go back."

Jia Jing waved his hands impatiently.

"Stop meddling in other people's business!"

"Yes Yes!"

Jia Zheng nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

After Jia Zheng left,
Jia Jing sighed deeply.

He is not a heartless person.

I also want to leave a descendant for the Xue family.
