Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Lin Zhixiao, the second housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, brought people to guard the Tongzhou Wharf every day, and finally waited for the second master's family to arrive in Beijing.Jia Zheng left all the ceremonies and luggage to Lin Zhixiao's management, and took his wife and daughter back to the capital first.As soon as he stepped into Rongguo Mansion.He was told by the concierge that the old man had moved to Lixiangyuan.

He didn't go to Rongxi Hall to meet Jia Amnesty, but took his wife and daughter to Lixiangyuan to meet his father first.

Jia Daishan was explaining the laws and regulations of the Great Scenery to Jia Hu, Jia Ying, and Jia Zhu in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard. He heard his servants come in to report that the Second Master's family had returned, so he quickly put down his books and took his grandchildren to the main hall of the Pear Fragrance Courtyard.

"Father, son is unfilial, he traveled far away for ten years and did not return."

When Jia Zheng saw his gray-haired old father, he knelt down and burst into tears.He has never been back since he left home to join the army ten years ago.How many times did his mother write to him, asking him to go back to the capital... Now he regrets so much that he didn't see his mother for the last time.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Jia Daishan sighed and stretched out his hand to pull his son up.

The second son was able to gain a foothold in the Luzon military camp. Although his face was taken care of, it was inseparable from the son's own ability and seriousness in doing things.

Jia Daishan's eyes were red with excitement, and he repeatedly called his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter to get up. Seeing that there was still one in the daughter-in-law's belly, he quickly ordered someone to help her up.

After the younger generation saluted Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia Zheng asked his father.

"Father, my son received a letter from my eldest brother, saying that my mother died of a sudden illness. My mother has always been in good health. What is the disease? Could it be that there is nothing the hospital can do?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became embarrassing, Jia Hu and the others bowed their heads immediately, making the three people who just came back bewildered.Before Jia Daishan could explain, Jia She and his wife came in hand in hand.

After another salute, Jia Daishan asked Jia Zheng and his wife to take their children back to rest and have a reunion dinner together in the evening.

Jia Zheng said, "Father, the son first goes to worship before the mother's spirit."

Although Jia Zhu hasn't seen his father for ten years, he already remembers when his mother took his sister to Luzon.He secretly tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, and whispered to her, "Go back first."

Seeing that Jia Zheng still insisted on following the rules, Jia Amnesty stepped forward to persuade him, "Second brother, follow your father's arrangement."

As he spoke, he twisted Jia Zheng's shoulders vigorously and walked out.Fortunately, Jia Zheng has improved compared to ten years ago, and he immediately understood that his eldest brother did this, fearing that there was some unexplainable reason for his mother's death, so he followed Jia She obediently.

The two brothers left the Lixiangyuan. Jia Zheng looked back and saw his wife, accompanied by his sister-in-law, came out and got into the green oil car, thanking the sister-in-law for her carefulness in his heart.

When he was free, he immediately asked Jia She, "Brother, after receiving your letter, I rushed back day and night. My mother passed away in less than 49 days, how can there be a little at home..."

"Second brother, listen carefully, don't shout." Jia Amnesty warned Jia Zheng first, and when he nodded in agreement, Fang slowly said: "My mother was discovered because of usury, and my uncle did it... "

Jia Zheng couldn't believe it. He stared at Jia Amnesty and took a deep breath, "Using usury?"

He stopped.

"Second brother, that's my mother too. You don't have to look at me like that, I can still lie about it. My father asked my mother, and my mother admitted it."

As soon as Jia Zheng thought what his brother said was reasonable, he followed in Jia Amnesty's footsteps and walked forward.

"What our mansion said to the outside world was the sudden death of the epidemic. Since the royal family pardoned the punishment of expelling nobles and officials from the Rongguo Mansion and Baolinghou Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion should also be sensible, and don't hold funerals for sinners, so as not to annoy the royal family."

Jia Zheng then asked: "Brother, is it because the mansion is struggling after repaying the money owed by the imperial court?"

Jia She sighed, "Second brother, it's just that the mansion is not able to pay off the debt in full. My mother was bewitched by the old concubine of Nan'an County. That old woman had a good idea. Drag Rongguo Mansion to act as a shield for her."

Jia Zheng asked bitterly, "Is there nothing wrong with Nan'an County Palace?"

"Second brother, there is no Nan'an Prince's Mansion anymore. The King of Nan'an County was called by the sage and the crown prince to question him. After returning to the mansion, he paid off all the money owed, and gave the title to his eldest son, who is now the third-class Marquis of Nan'an. The old concubine has also passed away for many days. It was also treated as an epidemic, and there was no funeral after being cremated."

In a few words, Jia Amnesty explained to Jia Zheng the follow-up of the Nan'an County Palace.

"Brother," Jia Zheng grabbed Jia She's arm excitedly, "Are you saying that my mother was treated as an epidemic disease, and there was no funeral after she was cremated?"

Hey, okay, go out and become smarter.

"That's right. The royal family has already forgiven father and uncle. If father and uncle don't do the whole thing according to the epidemic, they will not only deceive the emperor, but also slap the emperor and the saint in the face."

As Jia Amnesty said, he pulled Jia Zheng forward, "Second brother, quickly put away your current appearance, and don't let the servants see it."

Jia Zheng tried his best to restrain his emotions, biting his lip with a stern face.

"Father took my mother's ashes, which is the white porcelain jar on the case in my father's small study. Father won't let anyone touch it. You can take the child to kowtow quietly at night and that's all."

Jia Zheng nodded.

"None of the people in my mother's yard were left behind, nor was the Lai family who printed the money. The servants in the mansion, except for a few confidantes, didn't know about it."

"Do the kids know?"

"It can't be hidden. The royal family has appointed us Rong Mansion and Bowling Marquis Mansion, and the children will be enlightened with the laws of the Great Scenery."

Jia Zheng's expression became even more embarrassing.

"Second brother, don't be dissatisfied. If the royal family doesn't show mercy, there would be no Rongguo mansion now. If the sage were a little stricter, our whole family would be on the road to exile."

"Brother, I was wrong." Jia Zheng apologized shamelessly, and asked again: "Will Yinger's Crown Princess be affected?"

"It doesn't matter for the time being. Since the royal family has given Rongguo Mansion face, I believe it will not be brought up again in the future."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Jia Zheng's heart went back to his stomach.

The two brothers were talking, and after a while they walked to Jia Zheng's west courtyard.Two green oil cars followed behind.Jia Amnesty took Jia Zheng to the gate of the west courtyard and stopped.

"Second brother, elder brother won't go in. The west courtyard has not been changed. If you need something, send someone to look for your sister-in-law."

Jia Zheng nodded, bid farewell to Jia Amnesty, and took his wife and children into the former residence.

The west courtyard is just as it was when he left, and the flowers and trees in the garden have not been changed.Everything is clean and tidy, and everything is the same as the owner has been living in this yard, and even in the house a quarter of an hour ago.

Jia Zheng and Wang looked at each other, and they both understood that Mother Jia had put a lot of thought into taking care of the yard in the past.After the sister-in-law took over the housekeeping, she continued to take care of it carefully.

Jia Zhu came back with his parents. He waited for his parents and sister to wash up, and then came to see Li again.

Jia Zheng saw that his son, who was not as tall as his waist when he left home to join the army, was now a handsome young man.Feeling strange and kind at the same time, the unexplained thoughts are mixed with the eagerness of not fulfilling the duty of being a father for ten years.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Zhu'er, have you studied hard at your grandfather's house?"

Jia Zhu was also a little nervous. He didn't remember much when his father left home.Hearing his father's question, he quickly stood up and answered seriously.

"Father, my grandfather said that my son can take the exam with his cousin in the next year. If it goes well, he can also go with his cousin to see the exam room in Qiu Wei."

Jia Zheng calculated that the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination in the following year would be a series of consecutive examinations.In this way, the son is much better than what he learned at the beginning.

But he still taught his son with a stern face, "Learning is like sailing against the current, and you should not be complacent for a moment. Now the increase in the contents of the book, such as things, should not be neglected."

"Yes." Jia Zhu was scolded so hard by him, and the joy of seeing her parents was greatly dampened.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Jia Zheng: "Don't worry, my husband. My father is the most rigorous in his studies. He will not indulge them. Zhuer, come to mother quickly. I haven't seen you for a few years. My son is already a young man. "

Mrs. Wang pulled her son and looked him up and down. In the past, whatever he said in the letter was good, but now that he looked at it, it was indeed good.She took her son's hand and found that there were thin calluses on his palm.

"Pearl, what is your hand?"

"Mother, my son has to get up early every day to practice martial arts with his grandfather and uncle. Brother Hu and sister Ying also practice together."

"Girls practice martial arts!" Jia Amnesty reprimanded dissatisfied.

"Father, it was requested by the teaching mother sent by the empress." Jia Zhu defended in a low voice.

"Brother Hu said that the queen also needs to practice boxing every day. It was taught by the sage. In the current school, boxing exercises are arranged in the morning and afternoon, and there are exams. Mother, my sister has to go to school during the New Year."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Your sister is in Luzon, and she has to go to school every day."

Jia Yuan leaned on her mother, looking left and right at her elder brother enthusiastically.When Jia Zhu looked at her, she avoided her brother's gaze again.

Jia Zheng suddenly felt that he could not keep up with the changes in the capital, so he wisely chose to shut up and listen to his son chattering with his wife and daughter about the capital.After talking for half an hour, Jia Zheng interrupted his son's eloquent words.

"Pearl, your mother is getting heavy, let your mother rest for a while, let's talk about it later."

Jia Zhu shut up embarrassingly, feeling embarrassed for her negligence.

Mrs. Wang held her son reluctantly to let go, and smiled at Jia Zheng, "I'm tired from the car ride all the way. Listening to Zhu Er's words can relieve my fatigue."

"Mother, you rest first, and the son will rest in front of this yard. I will come to see my father and mother later."

After his son and daughter had gone out, Jia Zheng babbled while helping Mrs. Wang to lie down.

"I'm back in Beijing now. We can see each other every day. I have time to talk. You should have a good sleep so that you can have dinner together in the evening."

Wang smiled and listened to her husband's scolding. After a while, Jia Zheng's voice became lower and lower, and he fell asleep before Wang.Wang pulled the quilt that fell on her husband's shoulders, smiled and closed his eyes.

My mother-in-law passed away, and I feel a lot easier.After more than ten years, although my husband is not flexible enough, but such a rigid person who regards following the rules as a face, as long as he has a big reason to cover him, he will not know how to turn around and argue.It's really like what my father and brother said, as long as you hold on to the sage's truth and talk to him, your life will be better than marrying those who come from Qingliu.
