On Ningrong Street, Jia Zheng hurriedly walked into the East Crossing Courtyard and told the servants: "Quickly call your eldest master out!"
The boys all knew that it was rare for Jia Zheng to set foot in the Dongkua Courtyard. Seeing that he looked bad, they all panicked and hurried in to pass the news.
Suddenly Jia She wandered out and saw Jia Zheng pacing in front of the hall. He supported the jade crown that was not straightened, walked up and asked, "What happened? You came to see me in such a hurry?"
As soon as Jia Zheng saw Jia She, he immediately said: "Brother, something happened to Lian'er!"
Jia She asked, "What could happen to that little beast? Could it be that he went out to eat and got drunk and was beaten?"
"No, he hit someone..."
Jia She didn't care anymore and said dissatisfiedly: "If you hit me, hit me. How often have people like us been afraid of such a thing? You are really getting more and more out of control as you get older. You should treat this as a big deal and tell me. No matter who he hits, he only pays a few taels of silver."
"No, Lian'er beat up Prince Duan's eldest son!"
Jia She was raising his hand to fiddle with his jade crown that was always loose. Hearing this, he staggered and almost fell. He quickly put up the railing next to him and asked in surprise: "Who do you think he hit?"
"He is the crown prince of Prince Duan. I also heard from my colleagues in the ministry who sent someone to tell me that Lian'er has been summoned to the palace by the saint. I don't know the situation inside. Please tell me. But what should we do..."
Jia Zheng looked a little anxious.
What a noble status King Duan had. Jia Lian beat his son, and he was still the heir apparent. Isn't this a big deal?
Jia She's expression had already changed from the initial carelessness. He looked a little pale, "Are you sure you are not mistaken? How dare he, that little beast, do such a heinous thing?"
Bai Bai asked a question and saw that Jia Zheng was not joking with him. Jia She also became confused and stamped his feet. He said regretfully: "What should I do? I knew he was a beast who loves to cause trouble. He really deserved it." It would have been better to kill him as soon as possible, but now he has caused such a disaster to me..."
Two brothers, one is an official and the other is a noble, they are both around fifty, but when encountering something bigger, they are like headless flies.
Jia Zhengdao: "Things have happened. I am not saying this unintentionally. Now it is more serious to think about how to rescue Lian'er and how to deal with the aftermath."
Upon hearing this, Jia She suddenly became angry, "Why save? This beast that caused trouble should wait until he dies! Let's think about how to appease Prince Duan's anger now...
Come on, send someone to find out quickly. If you find out clearly, come back as soon as possible! "
Jia Zheng had no other good idea, so he also sent someone to inquire about the specific situation from his old friends who were on duty in the palace today...
Unlike Dongkuaoyuan, Rongqing Hall is full of joy today.
Although Wang Xifeng thought that Jia Lian was overthinking it, she couldn't help but invite a doctor to take a look. The result made her overjoyed.
She is really happy!
Calculating the time, it turned out that she was almost conceived in the days when Jia Lian came back...
Mother Jia was also very happy. She leaned on the high chair and smiled at Wang Xifeng: "It has been two years since you came here, and there is finally some movement in your stomach. In this case, I feel relieved a lot. After you have Lian'er, you no longer have to worry about that little screwdriver talking about you behind your back."
When Wang Xifeng heard what Jia Mu said, she felt somewhat sad.
Being a housekeeper was an offending job, and those slaves were resentful of her, so they used the fact that her stomach had not moved as an excuse, saying that she had done too many mean things, and that God would punish her by not giving birth to a son!
Because of this, she felt sick.
Now, I can be considered proud and proud.
"This is also a great blessing from our ancestors..."
After Wang Xifeng finished her usual opening sentence, she was interrupted by Jia Mu waving her hands: "I don't mind if you say that in the past, but not today. It's not because of me that you have this belly. Seriously, You have to thank your family Lian Ercai."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The servants and women in Jia Mu's house couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this. Yingchun Daiyu and other little sisters looked at Wang Xifeng and smiled, but they still had some unclear blushes.
They were probably aware of something unusual in Jia Mu's words.
"Old Ancestor~!" Wang Xifeng suddenly blushed and shouted coquettishly.
"Hahaha." Jia Mu also took one of Daiyu's hands and laughed.
In the crowd, Mrs. Wang was the only one with a pale face, and she seemed to be smiling. But no one paid attention to it. In their eyes, Mrs. Wang had always been like this, unsmiling.
Suddenly, Lin Zhixiao's family walked up to Mrs. Wang and whispered to Mrs. Wang.
"What……!"
Mrs. Wang was startled and couldn't help but stand up.
Jia Mu then asked what was going on.
Mrs. Wang thought for a while and did not hide anything: "Back to the old lady, there are rumors outside that Lian'er beat Prince Duan outside."
"ah……?"
There was a burst of exclamation in the hall, and it was not clear whether there were more slaves or more masters.
Mother Jia's brows also furrowed, her kind smile disappeared, she looked at Lin Zhixiao's family and said, "What's going on? Isn't it clear?"
"People outside said that Mr. Lian went to the imperial city today to attend a banquet for a prince, but at the banquet, he beat the prince of Prince Duan's palace.
Now the second master Lian has been summoned into the palace, and the eldest master and the master are all outside, extremely anxious..."
"Ah, he was called into the palace by the emperor. Will he be okay?"
Wang Xifeng's expression had already changed, and now she caught Lin Zhixiao's family questioning him.
What's wrong with Lin Zhixiao's family: "How does this slave know? But the eldest master and the master are both outside trying to figure it out."
Wang Xifeng had an anxious look on her face, and there was no trace of the joy she felt when she learned that she was pregnant. Seeing that Lin Zhixiao's family was useless, she turned around and looked at Jia Mu: "Old ancestor..."
In Wang Xifeng's heart, the person with the most status and ability is probably Jia Mu.
Therefore, when she heard that something happened to Jia Lian, the first thing she thought of was to beg Jia Mu...
Of course Jia Mu knew what she meant, but if the emperor really wanted to deal with Jia Lian, who could save him?
However, seeing how pitiful she looked, he comforted her: "Okay, I haven't found out the matter clearly yet, so don't worry."
Then he said to Lin Zhixiao's family: "Why did the fight start? How was the other party injured?"
"This slave doesn't know yet..."
Jia Mu said displeasedly: "Then why don't you hurry up and call your master in for a reply?"
Lin Zhixiao's family had no choice but to take the order.
Downstairs, Xichun held Yingchun's hand tightly, her face tense.
He didn't quite understand what a serious crime it was for Brother Lian to beat Prince Duan. In her mind, it was not too unusual for her brothers and nephews to fight outside.
But seeing everyone looking nervous and worried, Xichun knew that this time, it seemed to be different...
…
On the Imperial City Avenue, Jia Lian was sitting in the carriage, still thinking about the scene when he met Emperor Ningkang before.
Before meeting Emperor Ningkang, he had learned from various sources that Emperor Ningkang was a diligent and ambitious emperor...
This is probably the case for newly ascended emperors.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, this feeling is even stronger and more intuitive.
He could feel that Emperor Ning Kang was a very powerful person with a strong desire for control. Even for a small person like him, he would spend all his time exploring him...
Fortunately, it seemed that Emperor Ning Kang had no prejudice against him and was interested in cultivating him.
Lin Ruhai should have played a key role here.
Thinking of Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel grateful and respectful.
He treated the Lin family with sincerity, and Lin Ruhai also treated him with sincerity, using her unique holy family to open a avenue for him. And she helped him silently, without him knowing beforehand.
Therefore, Jia Lian took the risk of offending the emperor and told the emperor the truth about Lin Ruhai's poor health.
Wang Ziteng is about to leave Beijing, so according to the plot, it is not far from Yangzhou City where Lin Ruhai donates a museum.
I hope that the emperor is willing and after listening to his words, he can transfer Lin Ruhai from the complicated salt administration and take a good rest. In this way, maybe Lin Ruhai can live a few more years.
This was the only thing Jia Lian could think of doing for Lin Ruhai and Daiyu.
The troika returned together as they had gone, without encountering any interceptors on the way.
After leaving the imperial city, several young men from the Jia Mansion saw Jia Lian's carriage and immediately surrounded it.
"Second Master, I asked my servants to wait here. If I see Second Master, I will tell him to go back quickly."
Zhang and Feng opened the curtain and saw that it was someone from the Jia family who had heard the news and was worried, so they told Jia Lian to ignore them and just go ahead.
Jia Lian bowed to them with fists in his hands and hurried home.
