Prince of the Red Chamber and his father

The internal affairs of the mansion are almost explained, Jia Tanchun is a smart person, and Wang Xifeng is capable and neat, and the two of them work together to manage the normal operation of Rongguo Mansion.And this old lady is old and mature, with her in charge at home, nothing should go wrong.

"Jinling is the old base of our Jia family. Now that you have contacted the Wang family and historians, there shouldn't be any serious problems going to Jinling. Let's just forget about Xue's place. It's not good if it's uneven. It's not good to delay the important event." Jia Mu pondered. After a while, he said.

"What the old lady said is that even though Tan girl is entrusted to take care of everything at home, the old lady has to take care of it." Kangxi deliberately pointed out Jia Tanchun. There are not many people in Rongguo Mansion who understand, and only this one is still responsible. It is really a waste to raise the boudoir daughter.

"Don't worry Zheng'er, I'm in the house."

Seeing that Jia's mother was full of gray hair but still in good spirits, Kangxi couldn't help thinking of his grandmother, and felt a little relieved.

Since we are leaving tomorrow, we will go to Jiamu's room to discuss some matters tonight. We have almost inquired about the Jinling matter, and Kangxi thinks that he will be able to take care of it in the six months he is out.It's just that it's not easy for me to go to Ping'an Prefecture in person, and I still feel a little uneasy just sending two or three Qing people to exchange letters.

He counted the men of Jia's family with his fingers, thinking about who could take on this important job.Jia Baoyu didn't say anything, Kangxi was very disappointed in him, he thought there was a bit of a coincidence, but he couldn't figure it out in his mind, it was obvious from the incident with the girl in the Xue family, and he was left to coax the old lady stop.The duo in the East Mansion were also useless, Brother Zhen was nearly 40 years old, and when he was asked to deliver a letter to Ping'an Prefecture, he was so scared that he fell ill halfway.Rong Ge'er is afraid of his father like something, probably not much stronger.

Jia Amnesty of the big house heard that he had a bad reputation, but Kangxi talked to him a few times, and some ideas were unique, not like the indulging in wine and sex that everyone said. Kangxi sometimes looked at him and felt that he was a little out of place in this mansion. , That's why they were crowded out by everyone.But Jia Amnesty is a nobleman with a high position. Although he doesn't go to the court very much, he wants to say hello to the emperor when he leaves Beijing. Going to Ping'an Prefecture is even more eye-catching. Now that his wings are fledgling, it's better to keep a low profile .

After all, only Jia Lian, a nephew, was available. He used to help the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, and he was quite capable in his conversation. Later, he got jealous of the old lady in dealing with the property of the Lin family, so he went back to the big house. What's more, he also has a false job as a co-prefect of Ping'an Prefecture, so it's not difficult to do it.Counting it, I saw it only once when I first came here, but I never saw it again later, it is better to go there and have a look at it before it is dark, and then order the young man to prepare the horse.

"Master, it's better to go through the garden. If you go through the main entrance, I don't know how long it will take. The girls often go in the garden, and there are people guarding it at night, so it will be quicker to ask someone to open the door." The young man advised.

Kangxi said yes after hearing this, and didn't disturb anyone, so he took a few personal servants and went straight from the garden to the big house.

"Where is Lian'er's house?" The side of the big house is actually unique, the house and courtyard are small and unique, stretching endlessly, it actually occupies more land than the side of the main house.

"I heard that the second master Lian seldom returns to his own house, and often rests in the old man's room with brother Cong." After the young man reported back, he led Kangxi to the old man's yard, and knocked on the door.

"It's so late, what can I do to find the master?" The woman from last night muttered and pushed the door open, seeing that it was the second master, she hurriedly lowered her head and saluted.

"Forget it, brother, have you rested yet?" Hearing that the eldest concubine and aunt Ji are in the same room, he might as well go in hastily, he might as well wait in the study.

"The light in the master's room is still on. The second master might as well go in directly. The study room is far away. The second girl, Miss Lin, and the others like to sit there on weekdays, but the master doesn't go there often."

After Kangxi heard this, he followed his mother-in-law all the way to the main room. There were two little maids waiting at the door. The mother-in-law ordered a few words before leaving, and the maids led Kangxi straight into the inner room.

"Second brother, why are you here now, isn't he going to Jinling tomorrow, why don't you get a good rest tonight?" Ji Huaiyuan had already fallen asleep, and only after hearing the little maid's announcement did he order someone to relight the candles.He spent the whole day going to other courtyards to discuss matters with the craftsmen and proofread the drawings.After coming back, he was quarreled with his son and Brother Cong again, and Yingchun and Xichun left after eating, which was really a headache.After hearing Jia Zheng enter the door, he struggled to sit up, put on a coat, and didn't even tie up his hair.

"It's okay, I just need to discuss something with my eldest brother." Kangxi looked around the room and saw that the inner room was very spacious. Looking into the distance, he saw that the bedding on the soft couch by the window was messy, and there was a person sleeping with his back facing him. Then, the doors and windows were not closed, and a large branch of redbud flowers came in from the outside.After Jia Amnesty got up and sat down, he vaguely saw another lying on the big carved bed. Looking at his figure, could it be Brother Cong?

"Second brother, drink tea first." Ji Huaiyuan didn't like crowds when he was alone, so the maid easily didn't come into the inner room afterwards, and he didn't bother to call for someone at this moment, so he poured a cup of cold tea for Jia Zheng, and he happened to be a little thirsty. Poured a large glass of Gu Gu Lu Lu and drank it dry.

"That's Brother Cong? Big Brother spoils him too much, why doesn't he even have a maid?" Kangxi took a sip and put it down, wondering, the figure on the couch is probably Jia Lian?

"I just had a quarrel with his second brother, and I just stayed on the bed. The weather is warm now, so I don't care where I lie down. The second brother just said that I have something to discuss?" Ji Huaiyuan doesn't like to be around when he sleeps, even his wife When they were alive, most of them lived in separate rooms.But after the son was born, he held him in his arms and took care of him day and night, and this problem was gradually corrected.

"Wake Lian'er up too, I have to tell him something."

Hearing Jia Zheng's solemnity, Ji Huaiyuan hurried to wake his son up before the collapse. Seeing him sleeping peacefully, he couldn't bear to wake him up for a moment.Looking back and seeing Jia Zheng looking over, he was so busy that he patted heartily.

Yinfeng woke up in a daze, and saw his father standing in front of him, hugged his arm and lay down to one side.

"Lian'er, your second uncle is here, and he said he has something to tell you." Ji Huaiyuan called out in a raised voice, took a coat from the shelf, and waited to put it on for him.

Yinfeng sat up in a jerk, and let Ji Huaiyuan circle him around to fasten his outer shirt.

Sitting at the table, Kangxi watched and saw Ji Huaiyuan pouring a cup of tea to Jia Lian's lips, feeling a little sad for a moment.Thinking of my sons in the previous life, Yuxue was cute and lovable when they were young, and they were so attached to themselves, how could they drift away after they grow up.

"Second brother has something to say now, it will be late at night." Although the weather is getting warmer, it is still a bit cold at night, so we have to close the windows later to stop the wind.Ji Huaiyuan sat back at the table, but Yinfeng staggered over, greeted Jia Zheng, and sat on the carved bed.

"In Ping'an Prefecture, I'm afraid the eldest brother knows the most. I heard that there are still [-] troops. Are they all the direct descendants of my Jia family?" Kangxi said directly.

"Second Brother, why do you ask this?" Ji Huaiyuan was unprepared and unable to answer.

"Didn't the old lady tell the elder brother half of the sentence?"

"What are you revealing? The second brother also knows that the old lady has never liked me very much, and she will point to the second brother's Baoyu Guangzong Yaozu in the future." Why is it related to Ping'an Prefecture?What's up with this fake Jia Zheng?Get the hell out of here, maybe he was an emperor in the first place, so it's too sad to be here.

"Guangzong Yaozu has a chance right now. Have you heard about Brother Zhen and Yuanchun?" Kangxi thought for a while, and now only the old lady and Mrs. Wang know her identity in the mansion. The old lady has a deal with him Mrs. Wang guessed that Wang Ziteng revealed something later, and besides that, Jia Tanchun probably guessed something too.

"Brother Zhen? Yuanchun? What is the second brother talking about?" What did Jia Zheng want to test?Brother Zhen and Yuan Chun, what about Qin Keqing?It is estimated that the old lady and Mrs. Wang know better than themselves.

"Brother Zhen secretly hid the prince's blood, and was reported by Yuan Chun." Kangxi pointedly said.This Yuan Chun is also a fool, exposing his family's secrets to invite pets, unknowingly disposing of both siblings is better than changing the concubine's position.

"Is this really the case! Your Majesty also thinks it is too simple. Although Brother Zhen is messing around, he is the patriarch of our Jia family. How can the royal family trust us in the future?" Yes, I'm afraid the Jia family will be on the high-risk list from now on.

"Brother is a sensible person, and now the emperor is worried about us." Kangxi glanced at Jia Amnesty once, this boss still has some sense.

"Then how do we do it? According to me, there is nothing to miss about the title and wealth. It's better to return it to the royal family. My second brother has always been good at studying, so it would be an elegant thing to open an academy to discuss literature and Taoism with Qing guests." Ji Huaiyuan hesitated. After a while, he said, this Political Commissar Jia really doesn't have much talent in his official career, and the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, has not been moved for many years, and now he is only relying on Yuanchun to ask for a release.

"Brother, where are you going? If we don't want to go further, do we still want to be with the peasants in the cottage?" I don't think much of him, and being an ostrich is too unmotivated.

"Then what does the second brother mean?" Ji Huaiyuan also found that he had said something stupid. He was originally a commoner, and it was okay to have a simple meal. Ji Huaiyuan himself couldn't bear the fact that Qun Su hand soup.

"This world was originally fought by our Jia family. At the beginning, we lost the Jing family by a single move, and only got the merit of being a dragon. I didn't expect that the Jing family would be taken over by others in less than three generations. How can the people of the world be convinced? ?Our family now has fields and manors and the old lineage. Now that the vassals and towns are divided and the barbarians are not satisfied, sooner or later there will be turmoil. Why not act first? Otherwise, the royal family will be so guarded, and sooner or later it will be destroyed." Kang Xixiao said fiercely, The royal family has already learned from Yuan Chun that the Jia family has objections, they will not let it go in the future, sooner or later they will be controlled by others.Although the boss of the Jia family is incompetent, he is the head of the family after all, and he won't just watch the Jia family fall.

"Second brother originally thought this way, but it can't be done. Not to mention that treason is a serious crime. If something happens in the future, there will probably be no one alive. How many ordinary people have been affected?" Ji Huaiyuan hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Brother is confused. After Yuanchun's report, in the hearts of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor, the Jia family has long been unable to clean up the matter of treason. They just have to wait for the time to get rid of it. If there is no defense, I'm afraid it will be a few years. As for the people in the world, why don’t you eat minced meat? Do you think they are doing well now? The war is in trouble and the people’s livelihood is difficult. If the elder brother goes out for a walk, he will know what the people’s life is like when he goes outside the capital. . " To my surprise, Jia She still has the world in mind, so it's easy to handle.
