Just at this time, a servant came to report outside the hall. Second Master Lian sent Zhao'er, the boy next to him, to convey the message. Sister Feng quickly asked someone to come in.
Zhao'er hit Qian'er and said: "Good morning to my ancestors, good news to my wife, and good news to my second mistress... Uncle Zhen has woken up. He also invited the doctor. He said that his face was swollen and the skin was injured. Apply a few times." The heavenly medicine will be great."
"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you..." Mother Jia recited a few words of Buddha's name. The others also looked less worried and kept reciting the Buddha's name. Only Sister Feng had a strange look on her face. She raised her eyes and looked at Youshi. The two sisters-in-law vaguely understood. What.
On this side of the room, Baoyu also walked out from behind the screen, followed by Dai, Ying, Tan and Xi, who also stood up and looked around curiously.
"Old ancestor." Baoyu rushed into the old lady's arms, acting coquettishly and foolishly.
Jia's mother hugged Jia Baoyu and comforted her: "My Baoyu, you weren't scared just now."
Jia Baoyu acted coquettishly for a while and asked: "Old ancestor, why did I hear that something happened to Brother Zhen?"
"I don't know what happened, but these servants are shouting. I was just about to go over and have a look." Jia Mu said with a kind face.
As long as the support man in front of her didn't have such a terrible thing, Jia Mu, an old lady of the Jia clan who was used to seeing big winds and waves, could still withstand things.
As if feeling Jia Mu's calm attitude, the original atmosphere in the Rongqing Hall, which was like a mourning for an heir, disappeared. Sister Feng chuckled and persuaded: "Old ancestor, it's all in the dark at this time. Why don't I accompany Sister-in-law You to the Dongfu to have a look?" Brother Jane.”
Although there are two roads connecting the east and west houses, the old lady is old in the middle of the night. If something goes wrong, it is not a joke.
Mrs. Wang said: "What Feng girl said is right."
Jia Mu said: "Yuanyang, you should also go over and have a look and ask what's going on. Why did the man's face become swollen?"
Baoyu also said: "Ancestor, I will also go to Dongfu to see Brother Zhen."
"It must be a mess there right now. You can go over and see your brother Zhen tomorrow." Jia Mu said with a smile and nodded Baoyu's forehead.
Baoyu had no choice but to give up.
Seeing Yuanyang want to go there, Sister Feng knew that she couldn't hide this matter, so she said: "Old ancestor, I'm afraid it wasn't Uncle Heng from the back street who beat me."
"Which Uncle Heng?" Jia Mu frowned and asked.
Zhao'er on the side said: "Second Master said, it was Uncle Heng who beat me."
Sister Feng met the eyes of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang and said: "It's Uncle Jia who lived in Liutiao Hutong in the back street. He died a long time ago, leaving only Aunt Dong and a boy Jia Heng. They were orphans and widowed, and they grew up together. Big, Aunt Dong died again years ago. This child has no parents to take care of him, and he is not a lonely person."
In front of Jia Mu and other relatives in the house, Sister Feng did not call Jia Si'er by his first name.
A strange color appeared on Li Wan's beautiful face on the side, and the tall and upright figure of a young man seemed to appear in front of his eyes, Jia Heng? He is quite brave.
There was a bit of displeasure in Jia Mu's old eyes. Holding back her anger, she asked, "Who do I think you are, Master Heng? Why did Jia Heng hit Brother Zhen?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Jia Heng is used to wielding swords and guns, and is very brave and fierce in fights. It's perfectly normal for young people to punch each other when they disagree."
Youshi was more kind and did not add any embarrassment. She said in a soft and charming voice with a hint of sobs: "I have found a match for Brother Rong. She is the daughter of Qin Ye's family, a doctor in the Catering Department of the Ministry of Industry, but I don't want her to be married." They had promised to marry each other, and had signed a marriage contract in the early years, and the man in the marriage contract was Jia Heng. The master wanted to ask Jia Heng to cancel the engagement. After a while, there was actually a fuss. Lai Sheng came over and said a few words If you don’t like it, you’ll be beaten until your face is swollen like a pig…like something.”
Remembering that her husband had just been beaten so badly that his face was swollen, Youshi swallowed the words as soon as they reached her pink lips and hurriedly changed her words.
Jia Mu was silent for a moment, thinking in her heart.
Needless to say, Brother Zhen in Dongfu probably used money, coercion and inducement to get people to break off their engagement, but he happened to meet a tribesman with a bad temper, who was young and energetic...
It's better to bully a white-headed man than a poor young man. Why doesn't Brother Zhen know this? Why should we do this if we have to cause chaos?
Brother Rong is a serious grandson of the Duke of the country, so he has to take away someone's marriage.
Brother Zhen is confused.
And Jia Heng, who has no respect for his elders and juniors, greets Brother Zhen in the face. Is this ridiculous?
Jia Zhen is the patriarch, and she represents the dignity of the Jia family!
Mother Jia felt tired for a while, so she hit the cane so hard that it made a thud on the ground, and said, "Have someone call Jia Heng!"
"Now?" Sister Feng said with obvious hesitation on her bright face, "It's so late, how about tomorrow..."
It's already Xuzheng time, that is, after ten o'clock in the future. Even if we want to deal with Jia Heng, we have to wait until tomorrow.
Li Wan also stepped forward to persuade: "Old lady, please don't be angry. It's so late at night. It's earth-shattering. Besides, there are soldiers from the Wucheng Army patrolling the streets. It's inconvenient to come around. Let the child come over tomorrow morning." Now, it’s Brother Zhen’s side that’s worrying, and I don’t know if there’s anything I can do about it.”
Hearing this, Jia Mu also felt that it was reasonable. She sighed heavily and said, "I am old and don't care much about the affairs of the clan. They are becoming more and more complacent and lawless. Brothers are not brothers, and brothers are not. Brother, I don’t know how many people will laugh at this shameless incident of brothers fighting each other!"
Brother or not, it is natural that Jia Zhen, as a clan brother, robs the marriage of his own children from the concubine of the clan.
Brother or not, Jia Heng is talking about it. As a clan brother, if he slaps a clan brother in the face, does he still care about the Jia family?
Yuanyang quickly brought a cup of maple dew tea and persuaded with a smile: "Old lady, there are thousands of people in this clan, and everything goes as planned. There are always some who are young, energetic, willful and arrogant. The old lady must follow If you’re angry, then you don’t have to do anything but eat three meals a day. If you get angry, you’ll be full.”
This eldest maid in Jia Mu's house is in her prime, with a beautiful face, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. She wears an emerald-colored waistcoat and a green pleated skirt. Her smooth hair is braided and tied with a red rope. , the sound is clear and sweet, like an oriole emerging from the valley, soothing Jia Mu's anger.
When Sister Feng saw Jia's mother being angry, Danfeng rolled her eyes and also advised: "Old ancestors, fights and fights are common in ordinary people's homes, even in the homes of brothers. This is just like eating with teeth and tongue, and bumping up and down from time to time. We're fighting, who says we won't kiss anymore? There's nothing to laugh about."
Mrs. Wang also came to persuade her. Baoyu was acting coquettishly and several sisters came to talk with her. Mother Jia looked better and told Sister Feng: "Girl Feng and You, please go to Dongfu and have a look." Brother Zhen, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
After struggling for a long time, Jia Mu was obviously a little tired.
But in the East Mansion, the backyard was brightly lit, and in the flower hall, Jia Zhen was lying on a wicker chair with a towel on her face. She kept ouching and there was blazing anger in her eyes.
This pampered young man was slapped in the face by his father Jia Jing when he was a child. This was the first time in many years that he was slapped in the face by a clan member in public. He felt extremely humiliated.
He didn't even react before, and his mind was unbalanced, so he made shocking words of wishing for death.
Now that he has calmed down, he can't help but be afraid. Jia Heng's face showed a fierce look. Did he draw his sword to kill him?
No, he didn't dare, he would never dare...
Jia Lian sighed and said: "Brother Zhen, you are easy to negotiate and measure. As the saying goes, business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. How did it get to this point?"
Jia Zhen's eyes were on fire, the pain on her cheeks, and the sense of humiliation in her heart were tormenting her heart, and she said: "Second brother, I want to kill that little brat! I want to kill him, and I will report to the Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow. Report him as a rebellious clan leader and have him taken away! Consign him to the army, exile him..."
When Jia Lian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he thought to himself, if you disobey the clan leader, you will be exiled to the army? Brother Zhen’s office is run by our Jia family?
I still have to advise: "Brother Zhen, calm down first. Although Jia Heng is a bit hateful, but looking at his posture, he is also fierce and tyrannical. If he becomes more ferocious, he will use a knife or a gun to attack Brother Zhen." ...Brother Zhen, isn’t it like touching a jade object to an earthen pot?”
"If I don't say this, I swear I won't be a human being!" Jia Zhen said angrily.
