The atmosphere in Rongxi Hall suddenly became depressing. Jia's mother's expression changed from joy to worry. Even Jia Zheng could tell that something was wrong.
"Mother, is there something else going on here??"
Several other people also looked at Jia Mu. They were confused by what Wang Xifeng said before, and they didn't understand what was going on?
Jia Qi killed the enemy and performed meritorious service in Liaodong. What does it have to do with this story?
Sitting in the main seat in the lobby, Jia Mu's expression became uncertain. She had personally driven Jia Qi away at the beginning, so what should she say now? Should she tell Jia She, Jia Zheng and the others that that boy was unfilial? I drove him back to Jinling.
Jia Zheng and others saw that something was not right, so they asked Wang Xifeng again.
"Sister Feng, what's going on??"
Wang Xifeng saw several men from the two houses looking over her. She glanced at the old lady and knew that it was not easy to talk about the matter. She rolled her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Hi! It's not a big deal. Since the old lady doesn't If it’s easy to speak, then I’ll overstep my bounds and speak for the old lady!”
"Brother Qi used to live in the row of houses at the southwest corner of Huifang Garden in Dongfu. Where is his father? He is a branch of Dongfu. He seemed to have been implicated because of the affairs in the house that year, so he left early. However, His mother came from a scholarly family and was well-educated. She taught Brother Qi to study and make progress since he was a child. I also heard that he often went to the bookstore on Ningrong Street to read there! I remember that the bookstore was run by the second master. "
Hearing this, Jia Zheng was a little surprised in his eyes. He didn't expect that the bookstore he built would have an unexpected effect. He stroked his beard and nodded proudly to You.
Wang Xifeng continued: "But later, Brother Xin's mother died early because she was overworked. In recent years, Brother Xin has been living alone in Dongfu. There are also financial aids in the mansion, and we have always been at peace with each other. It's just a matter of fact! It's just that some time ago, the master of the house heard some scripts from somewhere. They were joking and joking on weekdays. They were very interesting. We investigated and found that those scripts were in the hands of Brother Xing. Later we found out that those scripts were Some of the things described in the script were extremely taboo, and some things happened in the house a few years ago, so the ancestors had those scripts burned, so that Brother Xing could go back to his hometown in Jinling to reflect and study hard. , I will shine brightly in the future!"
Hearing this, Jia She and Jia Zhen couldn't help but frown. Their first reaction was, it's over, the old lady kicked them out?
But after listening to Wang Xifeng's words, they felt numb again. That brother was so young, but he did such things. In the past few years, the two houses almost couldn't resist~
Thinking about it this way, they felt that the old lady had done nothing wrong. If they knew about this, they would have given her a good beating and exterminated her directly.
In their words, they just want to die on their own and don't drag the master with them.
Jia Zheng didn't think that much. He shook his head and said with some regret, "It's a pity. I think Brother Laiqi is not very old. He is just a storybook. Just give him some advice. It's not easy for me to have a brother who loves to read in the family. Son~"
He didn't say much after that. Speaking of which, even if Brother Qi came from the two houses, he probably wouldn't be very close to them.
Wang Xifeng saw that everyone's faces were not very good-looking, so she couldn't help but continue to interject: "Actually, I think this matter is not what my ancestors and masters thought. After all, I am a brother whose blood is thicker than water, and the government has been taking care of him all these years. , sending him back to Jinling this time may be a chance, if not, this brother Qi may not be able to make such a contribution!"
"Old Ancestor, let's talk about it this way. Not only have we done nothing wrong, but we have made meritorious deeds! As long as we explain the whole story to him clearly, he won't hold on to him! After all, we are still descendants of our Jia family, aren't we? ! The blood of our Jia family is still flowing in your body??"
After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, everyone's faces couldn't help but look much better, even Jia's mother. She smiled and said, "Sister Feng still understands justice. If Brother Xin comes back, if you have any resentment, just focus on my wife alone." Just come~"
When several people heard this, they responded. Only Jia She frowned and never lowered his eyebrows. In his early years, he was the deposed prince's companion, and he could see some things more clearly. These people in the room It's a nice thought, but is it so easy to fool a guy who can kill Jianzhou Jurchen? He also knew what the palace meant, but he knew how much Emperor Mingkang hated them, the founders of the country.
But he didn't say this out loud. Everything has to come to that stage before we know exactly what happened. Now it's just some guesses.
Wang Xifeng on the side could not help but let out a sigh of relief when she saw that the matter finally had a happy ending. If she had not come forward today, I am afraid that when the matter was really investigated, Jia Mu would push her to take the blame.
As for the two little girls who often went to the East Mansion through the yard, she didn't say much. After all, it was related to their maiden names, and if Jia Qi was really made a marquis, it would be better for her to sell them one now, and she might be able to do it in the future. Help!
After a while, Lin Zhixiao walked in with something wrapped in red silk.
Jia Zhen stood up, took it quickly and respectfully, and then asked the waiter to clean up the table and place it carefully on the table.
"Brother Zhen, you are the leader of the Jia clan, I leave this matter to you!!"
After Jia Mu received the look from Sister Feng, she realized that there was something fishy in it, so she stopped taking care of her. Jia Zhen heard Jia Mu's instructions and nodded, looking quite contented with herself. As a clan leader, she still has some weight. At least the old lady didn't do anything for her in this matter.
But he didn't know the whole story. When Sister Feng reported the matter to Jia's mother, she had already investigated Jia Qi. His father's tablet was not even moved to Jia's ancestral temple. She could not see the genealogy. If it happened, it would probably not be much better, so she gave Jia Mu a look to signal her not to interfere in this matter.
And things turned out just as Wang Xifeng expected. As the genealogy turned over page after page, the first generation of princes, the second generation of princes, and the third generation of kings. The more they turned, the paler Jia Zhen's face became. , looking at the big guy's eyes, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
He didn't see Jia Qi's name until the last page, which started with a cursive character. Now he finally panicked. Cold sweat started flowing down his forehead, and his breathing became a little heavy without realizing it. , swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.
"Brother Zhen, how are you? Who is Brother Qi's father? Is he really the brother of our two houses~"
Jia Zheng asked nervously from the side. Jia Zhen's brows jumped. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said cautiously: "Maybe I was flipping through the pages a little too fast just now, and I haven't seen Brother Xin's name yet. Second Master, wait a moment, I will check again~"
Hearing this, Jia Mu's face changed slightly, and Jia She's eyes narrowed. They all saw what happened just now with one eye. Jia Zhen almost dug out her eyes and put them on top. , but there is still no Jia Qi’s name, so there is only one possibility.
It doesn’t exist in the family tree~
At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the room suddenly became excited. Finally, a capable brother was born in the clan. If he could not return to the clan because of this incident, it would become the biggest joke in the capital. .
"Brother Zhen, are you careful? Are you really wrong? Our family cannot afford such a joke. If other people in Beijing see our joke, you will know the result without me having to tell you. What will happen?"
