When Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, he found that the situation at home was a bit tense.
Lin Zhixiao, the second housekeeper, and a large group of boys were guarding the west corner gate. When they saw Jia Lian's carriage, they immediately came up to meet him.
"Second Master, the old lady and ladies are waiting for Second Master in Rongqing Hall. Please come in quickly."
Facing Lin Zhixiao's urging, Jia Lian didn't express much. He jumped out of the car, straightened his clothes first, and then strolled inside.
Enter through the west corner door, walk forward for about a shot, then turn west and pass through an east-west passage. There is a hanging flower door to the north. Step into the hanging flower gate and look inward at the north-south transparent corridor. Through a corridor and a pavilion, you can directly see the main room of Jia Mu in the innermost part.
At this time, on the corridor in front of the main house, a group of people could be seen gathering in the distance, all looking forward to it.
Jia Lian quickened his pace and came to the courtyard of Rongqingtang.
"Second Master Lian is back..."
Jia Mu and others were standing in the corridor in front of Rongqing Hall, and they naturally saw Jia Lian just as he stepped onto the corridor.
Seeing that he looked so good and was so rough walking alone, I was secretly relieved.
But except for the wailing noises from the maids, no one in the main corridor spoke, and the scene was quiet for a while.
"I've seen old ladies and masters."
Jia Lian came in front of everyone, stood on the central axis paved with white stone slabs, and bowed to Jia Mu and others in front.
His unhurried and unhurried appearance made Jia Mu and others secretly suspicious. Could it be that Jia Zheng and others had made a mistake? Jia Lian simply went out to play for a long time and nothing happened.
Jia She was the most impatient. He stood in front of the steps and scolded: "Nie Zhan, people outside said that you beat up Prince Duan's eldest son. Is this true? You can't tell the truth!"
Jia Lian glanced at him and felt a little strange. Why did the old man seem to be more energetic after not seeing him for a few days...
"If I tell you, sir, this is indeed the case."
"Ah..." I personally learned from Jia Lian that all the ladies on the corridor could no longer keep quiet and all exclaimed.
Jia She was so angry that his beard stood up. With an angry look on his face, he kicked off the floor and said angrily: "You are a troublemaking beast, how dare you come back? Prince Duan's eldest son, how noble is that? You are How reckless, how dare you attack the Crown Prince Duan, I...
Come on, please tie up this evil beast. I will personally send him to Prince Duan’s house to make amends! "
Jia She stood on the steps, stamping his feet anxiously.
As a person who only knows how to enjoy wealth and wealth, Jia She despises all people with a lower status than him, and is afraid of all people with a higher status than him.
He didn't want to sit at home and have disaster come from the sky one day.
Therefore, as soon as he knew that the unfilial son had offended Prince Duan's Mansion, what he immediately thought of was to tie up Jia Lian first, then beat him and send him to Prince Duan's Mansion, leaving Prince Duan alone. Maybe this would calm Prince Duan's anger. .
Unfortunately, this is the inner courtyard of a deep house, and there are no servants or male servants, only some adult servant women nearby. After hearing Jia She's instructions, the ladies didn't know for a moment whether they should step forward and tie up Jia Lian. As they hesitated, the scene seemed a bit quiet and awkward.
Jia She also felt it, and immediately shouted to the housekeeper's wife next to him: "Why don't you go out and call someone to tie him up..."
Jia Zheng stood nearby, hesitating to speak. He felt that he should ask clearly before speaking, but considering that Jia's mother was present and that Jia Lian was not his son after all, he shouldn't say anything at this time.
"enough!"
Jia Mu finally used her cane to stop Jia She from drinking. Then she asked Jia Lian, "Tell me why you beat him, how the prince was injured, and what happened after the emperor asked you to go to the palace." Whatever it is, tell me clearly!"
Jia Lian just watched Jia She's jumping feet quietly from beginning to end without any expression. After hearing Mother Jia's question, she said, "Today, I was invited by a friend to go to the Imperial City to attend the banquet of the Fourth Prince..."
Jia Lian used simple words to tell what happened in the fourth prince's house today.
Everything else was fine, but when Jia Lian said that the fourth prince originally had a big yellow chicken named "Shenwei General", but was later beheaded by the emperor's men, Jia She's face turned dark.
"The Prince Duan didn't like his grandson for some reason, and he happened to know that the eldest master Xijue was a powerful general, so he insulted the eldest master with very bad words... The grandson was already very patient. After hearing this, I couldn't tolerate it after all, so I started beating him. This is roughly what happened. "
Jia Lian said in a deep voice, seeming a little angry just thinking about it.
Jia Mu and others also completely understood. Originally, they had found out that the reason why Jia Lian beat Prince Duan was because Prince Duan had verbally insulted Jia She, but they didn't know exactly how. After all, it’s hard for others to convey those words...
Now everyone understood that it turned out that it was Prince Duan who compared Jia She to a big yellow chicken, or a cockfighting game, and they were all silent for a moment. Even in their dreams, they would never have imagined that there would be such a thing, a dignified clan, and such a rude and disrespectful disciple!
Jia She's face was as black as iron. When he looked at the people around him, especially his brother Jia Zheng, who looked at him with a vague look, he felt an unknown fire burning in his heart.
However, he did not dare to scold Crown Prince Duan, so he could only vent his anger on Jia Lian: "How can you still be justified in beating someone for your wrongdoing? Even if Crown Prince Duan's words are inappropriate, he is still a dignified prince. How careless you are. How dare you attack him? You just want to die, but now you are afraid that you will also implicate me, you..."
Jia Lian, who had been indifferent to Jia She's words, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his head and interrupted Jia She:
"I know that Crown Prince Duan has a noble status, so naturally I would not dare to be disrespectful to him if I were on the sidelines. However, he insulted you with such vicious and despicable words. If I could just turn a deaf ear and swallow my anger, wouldn't I be living in vain as a son of man?" ? There is an ancient law that says, anyone who insults his or her parents is not guilty of murder!
Second, the son is not a mere mortal, the son is the grandson of a dignified and honored Duke! What remains on his body is the blood of two generations of Dukes! ! "
"You...rebellious son!"
The first time he was contradicted by Jia Lian in public, Jia She was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
But everyone else was silent.
If such descendants are all rebellious sons, then I don’t know what will happen to all the sons in the world.
Even if the noble prince insults his father, he dares to attack and even kill him. How can such a son be called a rebellious son? I'm afraid no one else will believe it except Jia She himself.
That's all, listen to Jia Lian's rebuttal to Jia She: He is not a fool, the blood flowing in him is the blood of Duke Rong!
Mother Jia naturally felt the deepest about this point.
When he married into the Rongguo Mansion, it was the period when the Jia family was at its most prosperous: famous and famous, with two sons from one family.
At that time, among the nobles in the court, who didn't respect Jia's family?
At that time, what weight the word "Jia" represented in the entire Wei Dynasty!
I'm afraid my descendants will forget all this...
Jia Mu took a deep look at Jia She, and then looked back at Jia Lian, who was standing tall and straight at the foot of the stairs, looking like he was determined to defend the dignity of his bloodline. At this moment, she truly felt that the pride that belonged to her late husband and his son returned. Arrive at Jia Mansion.
Although the others didn't feel as deeply as Jia's mother, looking at Jia Lian who stood with his head held high and fearless, they all felt that the elder was like a clown at the moment, and even the second elder who had also behaved very anxiously before, in the past, they The dignity on his body is just superficial.
In front of someone like Jia Lian who is truly self-respecting and proud of his bloodline, he seems to be fragile and pitiful.
Second Master Lian is a truly upright man, and he is worthy of being the descendant of the late Duke!
Jia She was not aware of how ridiculous he was in the eyes of others. He just felt that Jia Lian dared to talk back and was about to rush down and beat him, but Jia Mu stopped him with a command.
"Lian'er, I think you are fine. Does it mean that the current emperor also thinks that you are innocent for beating Prince Duan?"
Jia Mu's inner pride had been aroused by Jia Lian's words, so she put aside the worry of offending Prince Duan's palace.
In fact, there is no need to be too afraid of an ordinary royal palace in the founding palace.
The only thing Jia Mu was worried about was the emperor's attitude!
After all, Prince Duan's Mansion is also a clan, and they are considered the same clan as the emperor.
Jia Lian bowed to Jia Mu from a distance, and then said: "Back to our ancestors, your Majesty did not condemn the grandson. He just scolded the grandson a few words and then let the grandson come back."
"Huh, that's good." Mother Jia took a long breath, and her hanging heart finally fell completely.
As long as the emperor doesn't blame him, then this matter really doesn't matter.
