After all, I couldn't hide the incident of miscarriage from the old lady.
Unless the old lady doesn't want to take care of all the big and small things in the Rongguo Mansion, there are really few things that can escape her eyes.
Soon, the strange strangeness was spread to the ears of the old lady. The old lady who had returned from the Xue family happily scolded Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng, who were in charge of the internal affairs, and even Jia Zheng was not spared.
But scolding comes after scolding, Baoyu can be said to be the grandson she cares about most, and she still has to clean up the mess.
At first, the old lady really wanted to drive the attacker out of the house, so it was best to drive far away. Before Jia Lian and Jia Cong could speak, Baoyu plucked up the courage and said no to the old lady...
"Ancestor, it was your grandson who didn't want anyone to report this matter to you. Moreover, Xi Ren almost lost his life trying to preserve his reputation. My grandson doesn't want to be that ruthless and dishonest person!"
His tone was more decisive than ever before, and everyone in the Rongxi Hall looked at Baoyu with a determined expression in shock.
This was the first time they had seen Baoyu like this in so many years.
Compared with the shock and surprise of others, Master Pardon was really filled with emotions at this time and felt extremely happy in his heart.
She is not afraid that Baoyu will be favored, nor is she afraid that he is a womanizer, but she is afraid that she will be spoiled and become a coward with no eggs, and become a ruthless white-eyed wolf.
Just as Baoyu said, after Xiren learned that she was pregnant, he never thought about using it to gain a position. Instead, he immediately considered Baoyu's reputation and privately sought out a doctor to prescribe abortion pills, which almost cost him his life. .
Even a prodigal like Mr. Pardon admires this little girl's determination and loyalty.
"Baoyu has grown up..."
The Pardon Master first sighed, and then said to the old lady: "The old lady still has good judgment, and originally allocated the attacker to Baoyu. My son also wants such a loyal girl, does the old lady have any more? If you have any, give it to me. Just one son."
If Mr. Pardon had said this before, the old lady would probably have to wonder whether this bastard son was trying to trick the people around her again.
But when she said it at this moment, the old lady couldn't help but feel an unreasonable sense of pride in her heart.
Yes, on the other hand, Xiren was indeed loyal to Baoyu, and even risked his own life for Baoyu.
And the most important thing is that she assigned Baoyu the attacker, isn't it because she has good taste?
Thinking of this, the old lady's face softened.
She sighed lightly: "You are almost fifty, and you still miss the people in the old woman's courtyard. How can you say this in front of the children, and you are not ashamed? If you cultivate yourself well, you can live a few more years and have a big family." Still relying on you."
When the Pardon Master heard this, not only was he not annoyed, but he actually laughed innocently.
This is the first time since the old lady passed away that the old lady said that he was the support of the whole family.
He raised his eyebrows at Jia Zheng in a sullen manner. The old lady glanced at the old kid and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
She was too lazy to pay attention to the fight between the eldest and the second child since she was a child. Seeing Baoyu still kneeling in front of her, she sighed and said, "Okay, get up. Let Xiren recover well, and wait until next year for you and Sister Yun to After the wedding, let her be an aunt in a small house."
After the old lady said this, except for Jia Cong who felt a little uncomfortable, everyone else in the room seemed to think it was normal.
Before Xiangyun entered the family, Baoyu had already decided on his aunt. If this happened in the previous life...forget it, the world is like this, what can he, Jia Cong, do, just be himself.
Moreover, Baoyu's temperament is like this, and Xiangyun also understands what she will face in the future.
However, according to Baoyu's friendship with Xiangyun's childhood sweetheart, and Xiren's sensible character, there should be no scheming house fights in Baoyu's backyard.
The matter was settled so simply. Baoyu was driven back by the old lady, and Wang Xifeng was asked to go with her, saying that she would help clean up Baoyu's messy backyard.
When only the two gentlemen, He She and Zheng, and the two brothers Jia Lian and Jia Cong were left in the house, the old lady's face, which had been relatively gentle just now, became frosty again.
"In other words, this matter has something to do with Jia Hua, the white-eyed wolf?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Jia Cong, who was the first to know about the matter. He nodded: "It's most likely, but it's not clear whether there is anyone else behind Jia Hua, so the grandson discussed it with his father and second brother. Decide to wait and see what happens, wait for his fox tail to show up first, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
Mr. Zheng has little experience in this kind of thing. He is not good at planning. The old lady never thought of asking his opinion.
"It's up to you, father and son, to take care of things outside. But there's one thing you haven't been alert to? This time it's a drug that's not on the market, but next time it's arsenic?"
The aphrodisiac went into Baoyu's mouth, and the masters of the house didn't notice it at all. This gave the old lady a sense of absurd fear for the first time.
This time it was an aphrodisiac. Next time, if someone is more ruthless and throws a pack of rat poison directly into the kitchen of Rongguo Mansion, will the whole family have to go see the old man?
It was rare for Mr. Pardon to bow his head in front of the old lady and admit his mistake. He said with sincerity and shame: "It was my son who failed to protect his family and take care of the house. After he has settled everything, he will go to the ancestor's shrine to apologize..."
The old lady became even more angry after hearing this, and angrily interrupted her eldest son's apology.
"Are you guilty again? Do I want you to plead guilty and be punished? I am reminding you that our family has been like a raging fire in the past two years, and our status has surpassed that when your father was here. You, and you, you... you Everyone has lost their vigilance. Of course, including me!”
The old lady showed her powerful ability and experienced experience that had gone through decades of ups and downs. After using this to warn her children and grandchildren, she left the four children and grandchildren with big eyes and small eyes behind and personally called the big and small stewards. Orders were passed down one by one.
Soon, even Ning Guo Mansion started to move.
Since the Ning Rongjia family was reorganized a few years ago, there has been a second large-scale adjustment of management personnel and a general inspection of the entire government.
Early on the next morning, the old lady put on her official uniform, held a dragon's head and a crutch, and drove to the palace accompanied by Wang Xifeng.
She handed over a list of spies from various houses caught overnight, as well as names of people who had been installed by unknown persons in the inner houses of Ning and Rong, to the imperial concubine Yang, who held the Phoenix Seal on behalf of her.
Concubine Yang looked at the thick stack of lists in her hand, and then looked at the list sitting beside her. Her husband died one by one, her children and grandchildren were useless, and she felt a headache after being bullied at home.
"The concubine is joking. If Duke Rong and the others are useless, then there are still a few in the capital who can be called useful."
Which old lady in the capital wouldn’t envy those few firecrackers in your house that are set off at a moment’s notice?
Even the gentle and soft girl Lin was led astray by your family...
Concubine Yang wanted to complain a few words, but Princess Jia, Princess Rongjun, was the one whom the old sage had personally called sister-in-law.
She has a high seniority and a special status, so she really can't take it easy.
"I will mention this to Your Majesty. These people are so bold as to spy on the prince's palace and send people to poison the imperial officials. They should be taught a lesson."
In fact, if there was no "poisoning" of Baoyu, Concubine Yang would have just said a few perfunctory words, invited the old lady to Fengzao Palace, and asked her to complain to Yuan Chunfa.
The court is so weird, who hasn't placed a few informants in each house? Even the emperor has placed people in his ministers' mansions "honestly".
After the old lady went to Fengzao Palace and chatted for a few words, she returned home satisfied.
Wang Xifeng didn't understand why the old lady told Concubine Yang about the matter instead of the eldest master or Lian and Cong reporting it to the emperor.
The old lady laughed and said: "It is an unspoken rule of the government to place people in various palaces. Everyone does this. What I want is not to deal with those people in the palace, but to warn those people not to go too far through His Majesty. Poisoning and undermining is a taboo in official circles. What happened at your Uncle Lin’s house has already made His Majesty hate it deeply. Now that something like this has happened in our family again, do you think His Majesty will be furious?"
…
Not only was he furious, the emperor not only expelled some of the people who had installed people in the kitchen of Rongguo Mansion out of the court, but also vigilantly asked Xia Shouzhong to conduct a comprehensive screening of the palace servants.
It didn't matter that this check almost made the emperor so angry that he couldn't sleep.
That night, nearly a hundred of the palace servants were carried out from the corner gate of the palace and executed with sticks. This was the most severe and cruel punishment by the inner court since the emperor succeeded to the throne.
After the news came out that the palace had canceled this year's Dragon Boat Festival gifts, officials all over the capital understood the seriousness of the matter.
Those who sent people to the palace shivered in their homes, fearing that the Dragon Guards would suddenly break in at the next moment.
Fortunately, the emperor was still sensible and knew that this kind of nonsense could never be solved. After getting angry, he only asked Cao Dudu to find a few "chickens" to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.
The Dragon Boat Festival family banquet in Rongguo Mansion was much more cheerful. The whole family had a good time in Rongxi Hall. Talking about the affairs in the palace, the Pardon Master even complimented the old lady.
"The old lady has thought carefully. Having the palace warn those people on our behalf is much more effective than knocking on the door ourselves."
Everyone sitting around the table nodded in agreement, but the old lady said at this moment: "I'm not just trying to warn them. Only by cutting grass can we scare the snake. It will be a disaster for Jia Hua to stay after all. When he figures out the ins and outs of this matter, He will definitely think that we have found some clues, and he will definitely take action by then. Boss, it's your turn next."
"My son understands."
The Pardon Master first looked at Jia Lian, and then turned his attention to his youngest son.
Compared with the second son Jia Lian, the younger son is more comfortable to use.
Jia Lian is now one of the five major governors, and his whereabouts are almost always under the eyes of others.
On the other hand, the youngest son, a character who occasionally causes strange things, is considered to be justified no matter what he does.
After all, geniuses are always a little crazy, right?
…
Jia Hua spent this Dragon Boat Festival very nervously. It was strange that the palace didn't even give out any rice dumplings this year.
At noon, he finally got some news. Last night, more than a hundred palace servants who "made mistakes" were executed with sticks in the palace. This was very abnormal.
There are often rumors in the court that the emperor is mean and unkind and has an unstable temperament, but these are only directed at officials in the court.
On the contrary, the emperor was often more lenient to the poor slaves in the palace than the old saint who was famous for his kindness.
After further inquiry, I found out that the old lady from Rongguo Mansion went to the palace yesterday and handed a thick stack of paper to the imperial concubine Yang.
Immediately afterwards came the palace inspection. The Dragon Guards and the inner court teamed up to search the entire Forbidden City and found many spies and unidentified personnel hidden in the palace.
And there is reliable news that the pile of paper that Princess Rongjun handed over to Concubine Yang yesterday was full of lists of people who had been inserted into Ningrong and Ningfus.
There are even rumors that the cause of this incident was that someone poisoned the phoenix eggs in Rongguo Mansion, which completely annoyed the old lady of the Jia family.
Princess Rongjun was wiping away her old tears in Xukun Palace and crying to Concubine Yang. Duke Daishan passed away and her children and grandchildren were useless. She, an old lady, could step on anyone now.
Now that her favorite grandson was murdered at home, she was unable to find out the murderer, so she could only come to the royal family for help.
If the emperor doesn't care, she will knock on the door of Longshou Palace...
Hiss~
Jia Hua really wanted to yell, who the hell poisoned him? That's an aphrodisiac, aphrodisiac alright! ! !
Besides, those demon gods in your family who chop off people’s heads and build temples in Beijing, how dare you say they are ineffective?
"Someone, prepare a car!"
Jia Hua didn't dare to delay. He was really afraid that the old lady of the Jia family would knock on the door of Longshou Palace if something went wrong.
The Supreme Emperor has become more and more casual since he retired to Longshou Palace and no longer took care of the affairs of the court.
The emperor may also be concerned about the overall situation of the court and not break the unspoken rules of the court. But the old saint is different. When he goes crazy, no one can control him.
Jia Hua had a small house in the capital. After opening the door and stepping out of a carriage, there was a small vendor selling beancurds. He silently glanced at the little carrot head who was eating beancurds next to him.
Soon, the little carrot head wiped the spicy oil on his mouth and followed quietly.
The carriage traveled all the way south and entered Chongnanfang in the southeast corner of the capital. It entered a temple with few pilgrims - Fazang Temple.
Fazang Temple did not hold any Dharma assembly on the Dragon Boat Festival like other temples in Beijing. Instead, it was as usual, chanting sutras and cleaning the yard.
After Jia Hua entered the temple, he first went to the front hall to burn a stick of incense, and then accompanied by a monk, he went straight to the back hall.
However, he was not going to see any presiding monk. Instead, he walked from a hidden door in the back hall to a small courtyard surrounded by dense forests.
"Master Yuanzhen, I'm afraid people from Rongguo Mansion will discover our affairs!"
…
At this time, the Jia family did not change because of the unusual behavior in the palace and Jia Hua suddenly left home during the festival. They were still celebrating the festival happily.
Jia Cong became a storyteller, with a prison tree in one hand and a folding fan in the other. He sat behind a table and told the whole room the story that the White Snake and Fahai had to tell.
Snapped!
When it came to the climax, Jia Cong was so excited that he slapped the cliff with all his strength.
"I saw the sea of fa suddenly shouting, monster! I can see at a glance that you are not a human being, huh! You are a small skill, but you dare to do the axe, the mighty dragon, the great law mantra, the prajna Buddhas, the prajna bama..."
