Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 75: The two elders of Rong Mansion rectify the family tradition

……

"it is good!"

In the study of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing looked at the letter written by Jia Rong and couldn't help clapping.

The eldest grandson is both good at literary examinations and good at defeating bandits. He will surely be a man of great talent in governing the world in the future!

You are worthy of being the descendant of Ningguo Mansion!
Several staff members praised him generously.

"The eldest son is a great hero of the time. You are so lucky!"

"Master Lin owes the eldest master a favor this time."

"Young Master is so capable, it won't be long before he is made a marquis or a prime minister. The old master has someone to take over!"

"Okay." Jia Jing waved his hand calmly and said, "Don't praise him anymore. After all, he is still young. If he gets proud, what will I do if I can't control him?"

"Haha."

Everyone laughed and said, "You are worrying too much, old man. The eldest son has always been humble and polite, and filial piety is beyond words. Everyone can see it!"

Jia Jing was naturally happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "What do you think of what Lao Lin said?"

Ximen Qing was the first to step forward and said, "Sir! Since someone has bullied me to such an extent, I will naturally return the favor and cut off his arm!"

Sima Beidao said: "This is a rare opportunity. We can start with the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Hu Jiansheng!"

Jia Jing looked aside and said seriously, "Mr. Nangong, what do you think about this?"

Nangong Lu thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Your Excellency can join forces with the Salt Inspector Lin and the Censorate to impeach the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Hu Jiansheng."

"Crime 1: Hu Jiansheng mobilized troops without receiving any documents from the Ministry of War."

"Second crime: Even if Zhang Maoye is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he still needs to be convicted after a joint trial by the three judicial departments of the court. Hu Jiansheng arbitrarily killed the imperial governor, which is really a taboo!"

Jia Jing nodded.

Since all three aides agree, let's do it.

In fact, there was one thing Jia Jing was very clear about.

The cabinet had been controlled by Prime Minister Ye for many years, and the emperor began to be wary. As the head of the nobles and the Minister of War, he was in charge of the army of the whole country. He absolutely could not get close to Prime Minister Ye, the head of the civil officials. It was even better for the two to attack each other...

In this way, in order to balance the cabinet, the emperor's hope of entering the cabinet will naturally be greater.

Nangong Lu warned again: "This is the most critical period. My Lord, please tell the people in the two houses to be careful and not to be caught by others."

Jia Jing deeply agreed with this.

"Someone, call the boss and the second in command of the West Mansion over here!"

West Mansion.

Jia She was drinking with his concubine.

Jia Zheng was chatting with the guest.

The two were suddenly summoned by Jia Jing. They were a little puzzled, but they did not dare to neglect it. They quickly packed up and went to the East Palace together.

Jia She was sober now and frowned, "What do you know?"

Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Could it be because of Pan'er's matter?"

Before we know it, autumn is here and Xue Pan is facing a trial. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be hanged!

Could it be that Brother Jing suddenly couldn't bear it anymore? Was he planning to help the eldest branch of the Xue family?
Jia She said, "Why would I come to deal with the Xue family's affairs? There must be something else going on!"

Jia Zheng thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply said, "It's useless to guess. You'll know when you meet Brother Jing."

Soon, the two came to Jia Jing's study. The staff had already left at this time. Jia Jing looked up and glanced at the two.

"Boss, second brother, please sit down."

"Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you, brother."

After the two men sat down, Jia Jing first glanced at Jia She.

Jia She was so frightened that he lowered his head.

"Old She, you are becoming more and more outrageous. You have this title but you do not do your job properly all day long. You just eat, drink and have fun all day long. Be careful that you are impeached again. It will not be as simple as losing your position and title!"

Jia She was a little helpless.

He can neither lead troops nor study. What else can he do without eating, drinking and having fun?
"Seeing that you didn't listen, never mind, just stay at home and don't go out!"

Jia She hurriedly said, "Yes, brother!"

After talking about Jia She, Jia Jing looked at Jia Zheng again.

"Second brother, since you are now in charge of the family, you must show the power of a housekeeper. When you go back, you must strictly rectify the family tradition and not make any mistakes!"

"Someone might be targeting our house recently!"

"what!"

Jia Zheng was startled.

"Who is watching our house?"

Jia Jing said: "Prime Minister Ye!"

"So you'd better not make any mistakes on your end! If there are any mistakes and it goes wrong, don't blame me for punishing you according to my family rules!"

Jia Zheng's expression suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: "Don't worry, brother Jing, I will go back and rectify the family tradition right away!"

……

"Beast!" Jia Zheng looked at a group of people carrying Baoyu towards the door with laughter, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

Brother Jing is right. The family tradition in Xifu needs to be rectified.

He needs to learn from Brother Jing!

"What are you doing!"

"No one cares?"

"You don't even study, you just run around like wild horses!"

"Come here, tie all these people up for me."

"Get the rope! Get the stick!"

"Kill them together!"

The people who were laughing and joking at first were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. Jia Baoyu was at the front, sweating profusely and praying in his heart:

Grandfather, come quickly...

No one knows a son better than his father. Jia Zheng saw through Baoyu's thoughts at a glance.

"Anyone who dares to go in and tip off will be killed!"

Soon, everyone brought ropes and sticks.

Jia Baoyu and a group of servants who were joining the fun were tied tightly to stools and lined up in front of the study.

Jia Zheng stood by and waved his hand in the same way as Jia Jing.

"Someone, shut up!"

"Family service!"

A group of servants immediately stepped forward, raised their sticks and started beating them.

Suddenly, screams were heard in the front yard.

Jia Zheng paid special attention to Baoyu. Seeing that the people who beat Baoyu were very careful and did not dare to hit him, he became even more furious. He stepped forward, grabbed the stick and carried out the execution himself!
One, two, three, four, five, fifty...

Ah wu...

Finally, Baoyu's eyes rolled back and he fainted from the pain.

Everyone rushed forward to hold back the furious Jia Zheng: "Master, please stop it! Master Bao is dying..."

"Let him die!"

Jia Zheng threw the stick aside angrily, but did not dare to hit him again.

I was still wondering why the old lady didn't come today? Why didn't the lady come either?

By the way, my wife went back to her parents' home this morning.

old lady……

Just as I was thinking about it, Grandmother Jia came!

I almost fainted when I saw Baoyu's miserable appearance.

"You, you beast!"

"What have you done to Baoyu?"

Grandmother Jia pointed at Jia Zheng and trembled with anger.

Jia Zheng said awkwardly, "Mother, please calm down. My elder brother asked me to rectify the family tradition. This beast doesn't study, and it's fine. He also leads people to run wild like a mad horse. That's why I have to teach him a lesson."

Grandmother Jia gnashed her teeth and said angrily, "Why did you listen to him? I told you not to hit Baoyu, but you just turned a deaf ear to me!"

"What about your filial piety?"

Jia Zheng looked embarrassed and didn't dare to speak.

Grandmother Jia leaned down to look at Baoyu and said distressedly, "My Baoyu! Why are you so miserable?"

"What are you still standing there for? Go call the doctor!"

"Yes Yes!"

Everyone rushed to find the imperial physician.

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Zheng and said, "From now on, the East Mansion is the East Mansion, and the West Mansion is the West Mansion! I have the final say here!"

……

East Cross Courtyard.

Jia She found Jia Lian and whipped him without saying a word.

Jia Lian felt aggrieved like a young wife who had just married into the family.

"Master, what's wrong with me?"

"what happened to you?"

Jia She held the whip and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm hitting you, and you still dare to ask what's wrong?"

"No, I can't hit you?"

Jia Lian: "..."
