"As soon as we entered the river, we were surrounded by several large ships!"
The incident involving Jia Rong and Qin Keqing happened at the intersection of the canal and the Yangtze River.
"The water bandits directly cornered our boat and climbed over the side."
More than half a month has passed since the incident, but when Jia Rong talks about it, she still looks thoughtful.
"They killed a few people, took the boat, and left us parked on a wild shore."
At that time, he even asked someone to negotiate.
The boy walked over tremblingly.
After saying just one sentence, someone chopped off his head with a knife.
At that time, everyone was so frightened that Jia Rong did not dare to say another word.
Now that I think about it, my face is still a little pale.
"At that time, we all got off the boat as required, and the girl was the last one to come out."
He ignored the incident of being scared to the point of peeing, but at this point, he got to the point.
Jia Rong couldn't help but lamented and said: "I didn't expect that at this moment, the bandit leader seemed to have evil thoughts."
Jia Zhen had an ominous premonition after hearing this.
"Could it be that my daughter-in-law..."
The bandit leader got a bargain?
"no no!"
Hearing this, Jia Rong shook his head repeatedly and said with a sad face:
"When their master and servant saw the gangsters approaching, they jumped into the river together!"
Wasn't he kidnapped by water bandits?
Jia Zhen breathed out slightly.
If he was kidnapped, it would not be nice to tell anyone.
"Our view was blocked by the boat at the time. We don't know what happened to them after they jumped off."
Seeing that his father didn't seem to blame him, Jia Rong continued cautiously:
"As soon as the water bandits leave, I will immediately search for them."
Looking back on the situation at that time, he had some doubts in his heart.
The master and servant were too decisive.
As soon as the bandit leader passed by and before he said what he was going to do, the two of them jumped into the river.
"It's just that the water flow there is stable, but I can't find it..."
Before Jia Rong could continue, Jia Zhen seemed to back off and said angrily:
"My wife is jumping into the river to be completely innocent!"
As he spoke, he was met with a kick that knocked Jia Rong's doubts away.
People also fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here, this loser? It would be better for you to die there!"
Jia Zhen was filled with hatred.
I hate myself for not taking action earlier!
Although the water bandits are not advantaged, they can only be advantageous to the river god!
At the same time, there is inevitably sadness in my heart.
After all, he was really satisfied with Qin's wife.
He punched and kicked Jia Rong for a while before he managed to breathe out.
He quickly arranged for someone to go back to Jiangnan to inquire.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Jia Rong's old family members who left behind to search would come back.
It turned out that Jia Rong was walking on the front foot, and fishermen on the back foot found two bodies downstream.
When the family members left behind went to identify him, they found that the body had already molded into the lake and was smelly.
I could only vaguely recognize them from their clothes, they were Qin and Ruizhu.
He was buried in a hurry and returned to the capital.
Although it is late autumn at this time, the "autumn tiger" is coming in Jiangnan.
After soaking in it for so long, it’s good to be able to distinguish the human shape.
The Jia family didn't even need to look at it, they just asked someone to deal with it.
So as not to infect people in the house.
Both the master and the servant stopped in the Huifang Garden at the back.
After finishing her work, Jia Zhen went up and punched Jia Rong again.
"Damn vile seed!"
"ah!"
The last kick made Jia Rong fall out.
It took him a while to feel better, but he didn't dare to sit up.
She was afraid that Jia Zhen would take it out on her again.
"Since the person has returned, let's take care of the funeral arrangements first."
Reluctantly, Jia Zhen began to make funeral arrangements.
"Notify the two governments first so that everyone in the family knows."
"Please also send a message to those close to you, and ask them to come and help."
Funerals are also different from inside and outside, and everyone needs to be prepared in the first few days.
Notify outsiders later.
"Tell someone to ask the Yin and Yang Division of the Qintian Supervisor to come and choose a date, and then ask Mr. Shu Qi to write an obituary."
Shu Qi Xianggong is equivalent to a secretary.
Mainly drafting official documents, letters, red and white notices, etc.
"The funeral will be held in three days, and obituaries will be sent to all the relatives."
Because when Jia Rong came back, many family members followed him.
Therefore, both houses had long known about Qin Keqing's accident.
But most of them are holding on to a bit of luck, hoping that Qin will come back safely.
Until then, when the news was confirmed, the whole family immediately fell into sadness.
The elders remember her humility.
People of the same generation think of her as being harmonious and close.
The younger generation, thinking of her kindness.
When it comes to the servants at home, young and old, they also think of her kindness in caring for the poor, cherishing the humble, loving the elderly and the young.
Qin Keqing has won the hearts of the vast majority of people in Ning Mansion only two years after he came here.
When you hear the bad news, everyone will wail and cry bitterly.
For a moment, many people in both houses actually shed tears.
This also shows that Qin Keqing is always considerate.
Here in Rong Mansion, Sister Feng is having a rare moment of leisure.
Together with Ping'er in the house, they teased the eldest sister.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of cloud board coming from the second door, and it even knocked four times.
This is the sound of mourning!
"Let someone go and see what's going on!"
Sister Feng was shocked, put down her eldest sister and gave instructions.
Ping'er hurriedly sent people over, and soon someone came back:
"It's Grandma Dongfu Rong. She disappeared on the way to worship her ancestors."
This matter had been known before. Wang Xifeng blurted out upon hearing this:
"Could it be that the body was recovered?"
The man nodded and replied:
"Exactly, I just found him. There is a funeral in Dongfu."
Sister Feng felt extremely depressed after hearing this.
After crying for a while and thinking for a while, I changed my clothes and went to the back to meet Mrs. Wang.
Apparently he gained the trust later.
In these days, Baoyu found that the maids were not as close to him as before.
I am depressed.
In addition, he has a good relationship with Qin Zhong and has some contacts with the Qin family.
He is such a handsome dog and has a very good impression of Qin.
I even dreamed about her.
Now that I heard that Mrs. Qin was dead, I felt like a stab in my heart.
I felt a tightness in my chest, and then I heard a "wow" sound.
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Several maids were immediately startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
The attacker hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Quick! Get someone to call the doctor!"
"Don't be busy, it's irrelevant."
Baoyu took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, sighing:
"This is just a rush of fire attacking the heart, and the blood does not return to the menstrual flow."
He handed the handkerchief to the maid and said:
"First change my clothes and go visit my ancestors. I'm going to visit Dongfu."
Seeing him like this, Xiren sighed softly in his heart.
What I sigh is that this man is really...
I don’t know how to describe it.
His niece-in-law was gone, so he vomited blood first.
I didn’t know, I thought there was something going on between the two of them!
She no longer obstructed him and let Baoyu go.
After hearing this, Jia Mu only asked to send more people to follow.
Then he let Baoyu go.
When they arrived in front of Ningguo Mansion, they saw the door of the mansion wide open and people coming and going in a chaotic manner.
The cry inside shook the mountains.
Baoyu got out of the car, hurriedly ran to the funeral room, and cried bitterly.
Then I went to the backyard to see Youshi, and then came out to see Jia Zhen.
Everyone in the eighth room of the Jia family has arrived, and Jia Zhen is seen crying like a woman.
At this time, Zheng was talking to Jia Dairu and other older people:
"With all the family members and relatives and friends from far and near, no one knows that my wife is ten times better than my son!"
Speaking of this, he sighed heavily and said:
"Now to keep her innocence, she jumped into the river! This is a martyrdom for the reputation of the Jia family!"
As he spoke, he started crying again.
Everyone hurriedly advised: "The person has passed away, and there is no point in crying. It is more important to discuss how to take care of him."
Jia Zhen wiped away her tears, shook her hands, and sobbed:
"How to cook it? Just try my best!"
Just as he was talking, Qin Ye, Qin Zhong, and Feng Yibo came with Mrs. You.
Jia Zhen and the Qin family's father and son inevitably cried again.
Then they settled down for a while before looking for Feng Yibo.
The first thing he said when he stepped forward was: "Yibo, let me use the wood first. I'll take care of it elsewhere!"
"It's natural!"
Feng Yibo immediately expressed his stance after hearing this, nodded and said:
"Our brothers, Brother Zhen must use it first, and we will talk about the rest later."
"Thank you, brother Yibo!"
The two people here are talking, and Jia Lian and Feng Ziying are not idle on the other side.
Although the funeral officially started three days later.
But most of the nobles in the capital gained trust.
I sent the juniors over first to see if anyone could help.
A few days ago, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying only talked about three or five families at the Gongguo House.
Now I just take the opportunity to talk about a few more.
The entire funeral scene turned into a business place for the two of them.
Most of the people who entertained people were from the Jia family's generation, and when they saw Jia Lian, they would look down upon him.
I didn’t dare to say anything after what I heard.
When Baoyu arrived, he heard people all over the house talking about wood and stone.
The conversation only made him dizzy, as if he was in the wrong place.
At this time, I went to ask the Yin and Yang Division of Qin Tian Jian to come back and said that I would choose the seventh or forty-ninth day for the spiritual suspension.
Jia Zhen immediately met with someone to discuss specific matters.
It was finally decided on these forty-nine days.
One hundred and eight monks are invited to worship the Great Compassion Repentance in the hall.
Transcend the ghosts of the dead before and after death.
An altar should also be set up in Tianxiang Tower for ninety-nine Quanzhen Taoist priests.
Fight for 19 days to resolve grievances and cleanse karma.
In front of the spirit in Huifang Garden, there were fifty other eminent monks and fifty high Taoists.
Facing the altars separately, perform rituals according to "seven".
On that day, the Daming Palace, in charge of palace supervision, prepared sacrifices and sent people over.
The next day, he sat in a big sedan chair, sounded gongs, and came to offer sacrifices in person.
His arrival gave Ningguo Mansion a lot of face.
Jia Zhen wanted to receive her personally and offered tea at Doufeng Pavilion.
After exchanging a few words, Dai Quan said politely:
"If there's anything I can do to help you in the Ning Mansion, just let me know."
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen took it seriously after hearing this.
"Quinzi has always been useless. He is just a supervisor. I wonder if the old minister can give me some advice on the future."
Dai Quan frowned at first, then smiled knowingly:
"You want to be more glamorous at the funeral?"
Hearing this, Jia Zhen nodded repeatedly and said, "What the old minister saw is correct."
Dai Quan pondered for a moment and then said with a smile:
"As luck would have it, there is a flaw."
"Oh? Please give me some advice!" Jia Zhen was overjoyed when she heard this.
He thought that if Dai Quan said it was a good thing, it must be good.
"Now there are two missing members of the three hundred Long Jinwei."
Long Jinwei is a royal military attaché of the fifth rank, responsible for protecting the inner court.
The full name is Long Jinwei, the imperial guard who protects the Forbidden Road in the inner court.
Jia Zhen hesitated a little after hearing this.
If it were a fifth-grade military attache, this price would not be wrong.
But Captain Long has no real power, it just sounds nice.
Moreover, he had to get up early and stay late at night, and go to the palace to be on duty.
To say that he is beautiful is to say that he is an ordinary person from an aristocratic family.
For families like them, it's almost enough to say they are in need.
The lack of beauty is really far-fetched.
"Yesterday, the third brother of the Marquis of Xiangyang came to me to ask for help. He took 1,500 taels of silver and sent it to my home."
This is the quote.
Although Long Jinwei Jia Zhen was not satisfied.
But once the words were spoken, he couldn't immediately refute Dai Quan's face.
"You know, we are all old friends. No matter what, for his grandfather's sake, we agreed casually."
Dai Quan knew from the look on his face that Jia Zhen was not satisfied.
Fortunately, he is well versed in hunger marketing, and he starts laying the groundwork as early as the first sentence.
"There is still one vacancy left. Unexpectedly, Fatty Feng, the governor of Yongxing, begged me to donate his child."
Speaking of this, Jia Zhen's heart tightened.
Whether to donate or not is one thing.
Whether you can donate is another matter.
When I heard that I couldn't donate, I felt a little anxious.
Dai Quan was waiting for this reaction. When he saw this, he smiled again:
"Fortunately, I haven't had time to respond to him yet. Since our child wants to be donated, let's write a resume first."
These ups and downs caught Jia Zhen to death.
Having said this, he could no longer refuse.
The busy man wrote a resume on a piece of red paper.
Dai Quan read it and it read:
Jia Rong, a supervisor in Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan, is twenty years old.
Great-grandfather, the former Jingying Jiedushi hereditary first-class Shenwei general Jia Daihua.
Ancestor, Jia Jing, a Jinshi of Bingchen Branch.
His father is Jia Zhen, a hereditary third-grade majestic general.
He handed it back to a close servant and collected it, then ordered:
"Go back and give it to Lao Zhao, the official of the Hubu Hall, and tell him that I will ask him to get a ticket for the fifth-grade dragon forbidden captain, and give him a license, so I can fill in this resume."
"The Sword Comes"
After a pause, he slightly increased his volume, as if he was speaking to Jia Zhen.
"I'll exchange the money and send it over tomorrow."
The boy responded quickly.
Jia Zhen said nothing.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Dai Quan stood up and left.
Jia Zhen stayed with her many times and finally sent her out of the house.
When he got on the sedan chair, he took the opportunity to ask:
"Should I exchange the money at the ministry, or should I send it to the interior minister's house?"
Dai Quan knew that Jia Zhen understood what he just said, so he smiled with satisfaction and said:
"If you go to the Ministry to exchange it and you suffer a loss again, why not settle it for a thousand taels of silver and send it to my house."
Send it to the ministry as a donation.
At least it was approved by the court.
Sending it to your home is a private exchange.
Purely selling his official position.
Jia Zhen naturally understands, but the hint just now...
It should be considered clear.
He couldn't refuse.
At this time, he could only say with a grateful face: "When the service is full, I will bring the puppy to the house to thank you."
Dai Quan nodded with satisfaction, got on the sedan and left.
Then I heard the sound of shouting, and it turned out that it was the wife of Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, who came with her niece Shi Xiangyun.
Mrs. You, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng and other ladies from the Jia family welcomed people into the main room together.
At this time, we saw Jinxianghou, Chuanninghou and Shoushanbo also offering sacrifices in front of the spirit.
After a while, the three of them got off the sedan chair, and Jia Zhen personally took them to the hall.
Such relatives and friends come and go without counting.
Jia Lian and Feng Ziying were socializing crazily in front.
The host's Jia Zhen doesn't care, and others won't say anything.
And they don’t need to sell, they can just talk about it in a few sentences.
So, a good funeral.
Jia Lian and Feng Ziying took this opportunity to discuss the building materials business.
There were also Jia Zhen and Dai Quan, who privately conferred and received titles on officialdom.
That's not all.
Someone else came back from Jia Jing.
His grandson-in-law is gone, and this great man refuses to even show his face.
He said that he was afraid of being contaminated by the mortal world and delaying his ascension.
Just Jia Zhen cooks by herself.
Jia Zhen has the final say in matters outside, and the You family in the back house also manages things in an orderly manner.
All the ladies from the relatives present looked at her with admiration.
On these forty-nine days, a street in Ningguofu.
It’s a long day with people coming and going,
Flowers bloom in clusters, officials go and officials come.
During this period, Jia Rong changed into auspicious clothes and went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to receive her official certificate.
The deacons and other things used before the funeral were all replaced according to the regulations of the fifth rank.
The spiritual tablets all read:
"The imperial conferment on Jiamen and the Qin family is the spiritual position of Yiren."
The "Qin family" here is extremely mournful and honorable, so there is no need to say more about the imperial edict.
Over there, Keqing was freed and had been drifting on the sea for many days.
"The Qin family" has not yet been buried, but Keqing has arrived safely in Liuqiu.
What greeted her was nothing but a new life.
And what affects her new life...
A brand new title!
