Chapter 324 God Wants to Kill Me, God Wants to Kill Me.
Mrs. Wang was very curious about the conversation between Jia Zheng and Baoyu, but her son was very tight-lipped about the matter and refused to reveal a word.
She had no choice but to invite Aunt Xue the next day. See if you can find out something from your sister.
Aunt Xue also knew about Jia Zheng's fainting yesterday. Now that she has lost her only son, all her thoughts are on her daughter.
Seeing Mrs. Wang asking around, Aunt Xue could only say, "What do you want to know, sister? Baochai really didn't say anything to me."
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang made a wrong calculation and was constantly questioned by Aunt Xue.
After all, it was something that could be talked about, so Mrs. Wang told what happened to Dafang.
Aunt Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she heard that the eldest member of the Jia family was involved in rebellion. Jia Lian didn't think much of Xue Pan at first. At that time, the Xue family was staying with Jia's family.
Aunt Xue turned a blind eye to these affairs among the juniors and just got by with them.
Nowadays, there are rumors that Xue Pan died in the hands of the rebels. Then I heard that Jia She and Jia Lian were also involved. Adding up the old and new grudges, how could Aunt Xue not hate the people involved?
"You should really kill their whole family and go down and kowtow to my son to apologize."
Mrs. Wang was also shocked when she heard Aunt Xue's hatred. She was not surprised by Aunt Xue's attitude. Her attitude towards Jia Min was similar.
It was only later that she realized that this was a serious crime of decapitation.
With such a serious crime, could it be possible that the noble house would also lose its title?
This... this... this...
Mrs. Wang's expression changed and she suddenly stood up from her position.
No, she has to go find her second brother to find out! !
Aunt Xue saw that her sister had a different look on her face, and quickly asked with concern: "What's wrong with sister?"
Mrs. Wang was afraid that she would do something bad, so she could only try to smile and said: "It's okay, I just remembered why Feng'er didn't go to her second uncle to ask for help?"
"The water thrown out by the married daughter, her heart is all about Jia Lian. Humph, how can our second brother help her?"
This is not biased. Wang Xifeng is a arrogant and arrogant person. For the sake of Jia Lian, a useless pervert, he was actually willing to accompany him to plead for mercy.
Hey, this daughter's family, if you marry a useless man, your life will be so miserable. Mrs. Wang thought so and couldn't help but think of her precious daughter.
Poor girl Yuanchun was sent to the palace by his second uncle, and she enjoyed some glory and wealth. Thinking of her support in the future, Mrs. Wang felt more stable.
Your Majesty is still your own son-in-law. Even if the filth in the first house is really ugly, Your Majesty will definitely find a way to keep the second house.
Mrs. Xue obviously thought of this, and immediately said: "Sister, you can't be merciful. Isn't it because the eldest brother would do such a thing because he resented the old Duke for handing over the Rongxi Hall to the second brother?"
Whether it was necessary to say something or not, Mrs. Xue was indeed a bit impatient and got to the point in just a few words. If there is no jealousy and hatred, the big house will not be like this.
But in other words, when the Jia family has reached its current situation, who among these people in the situation is not jealous or resentful?
Mrs. Xue only thinks about Baochai, while Mrs. Wang only plans for Baoyu. The two hit it off immediately and developed a common hatred and hatred.
"I saved it." Mrs. Wang nodded. The two ends of the scale in her heart were placed on one side were the rich and young, and on the other were precious jade. There is no need for outsiders to guess how to choose.
At this moment, what she felt more in her heart was the pleasure of controlling other people's destiny.
The so-called strategy, the so-called strategy, is nothing more than this.
…………
…………
Everyone deliberately concealed the current situation of the Jia family from the old lady. Everyone knows that in the event of a landslide, the old lady who can enter the palace and say something is the only support for everyone.
Jia's mother only knew that her second child was knocked unconscious, and the mandarin ducks sent to inquire did not dare to tell the truth. The latter was worried about the old lady's health, so he only dared to use nice words to excuse her.
Until Baoyu, the grandson, came to find her, the old lady still looked a little unhappy. When she learned that her precious grandson was going to enter the palace with her, Jia Mu couldn't help but feel a little happier. She secretly thought that Baoyu was sensible and knew how to care about her body.
The two of them were tidying up at home, but they didn't forget to pass the book to the palace. Yipingaoming originally had the right to visit the queen at any time. This was an identity given by the royal family.
The imperial family naturally has to maintain respect for face. Otherwise, who will take the honor given by the emperor seriously in the future?
Before noon, the eunuch who came to deliver the message finished relaying the meaning of the queen's promise. Mrs. Wang, who realized later, rushed to Rongqing Hall and couldn't help asking about Jia Mu and Baoyu's intention to leave.
Unfortunately, Jia's mother couldn't bear the noise from Wang and Xue recently, and she really didn't want to talk about Xiangyun's affairs to them.
After Xue Pan died, Mrs. Xue behaved like a shrew, which was very unreasonable. After going out like this, Mrs. Wang didn't know the real purpose of these two people.
Halfway along the way, Jia Mu was still in the carriage telling Baoyu about the etiquette after entering the palace. As they talked, they talked about the relationship between their family and the queen's natal family. The queen's real surname is Zhang, and she was born into a distinguished family.
She has a cousin, General Zhang, who recently entered the court and has been stationed at the border for more than ten years. Baoyu couldn't help but be surprised to hear that the queen's ancestor was once a general under the old Duke.
"Grandpa is so powerful?" Baoyu showed surprise at the right time. His big face was used as a compliment, which was really interesting.
"That's not true." Jia Mu was in a good mood as long as she stayed with Baoyu.
How could the old Duke have been admired by me if he hadn't been so outstanding among all the heroes back then?
In a blink of an eye, the couple had been separated for decades. Jia Mu couldn't help but feel regretful. If Jia Daishan was still alive, how could she be so bullied at home?
There was no more gossip on the way, and she got off the car at the palace gate. The queen had sent a personal eunuch to pick her up, considering that Jia Mu was old and weak, and was the first wife of the old Duke.
The queen specially ordered the palace servants to prepare a carriage to prevent the old lady from walking, to show the benevolence of the royal family.
When they met in the palace, Baoyu, who was the guest, kept his head down. Empress Zhang didn't have much interest in this jade-faced young man. She only asked him briefly whether he had a family, and didn't pay much attention to Baoyu.
Jia Mu didn't dare to take the status of an elder in front of the queen. Seeing that the words were almost said. She knelt directly on the floor of the palace with the support of Baoyu.
Even if she was the queen of the dynasty, how could she bear the kneeling of an old lady who was almost eighty years old. She hurriedly called the palace maids and eunuchs to come out to coax the old lady. After much persuasion, Jia Mu finally persuaded her to return to her position, and Empress Zhang patiently listened to the old lady telling about Shi Xiangyun's tragic story.
An orphan girl without a father or a mother, she didn't even enjoy the blessings of the Shi family for half a day. It's not difficult to spare the life of a poor little girl who is not loved by her second uncle and third uncle, and it can also show the magnanimity of the imperial family.
Empress Zhang thought about it for a while and intended to make the decision to agree to this matter. However, seeing the uneasy faces of Jia Mu and Baoyu, Empress Zhang still wondered: "The old lady rarely enters the palace, just for this matter?"
This question was a bit inexplicable, and Jia Mu secretly thought something was wrong. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at Empress Zhang's dignified face, and still said according to her original intention: "That's right."
"Okay, I will discuss this matter with Your Majesty."
In front of the old lady, Empress Zhang did not call herself an "Ai Jia". When she married His Majesty, she also met with the old Duke and other elders. This incense relationship is here.
Jia Mu was even more relaxed after hearing this. Although Empress Zhang didn't say everything, what was the other party's status? If she could give such a sentence, she would be 80% to 90% sure.
Expect the mother of a country to pat her chest and guarantee? What was the status of the Jia family? What was the status of Jia Mu? This was already the best result, and the next step was to leave it to fate.
Afterwards, Jia Mu took Baoyu to sit in the palace for a while, and then explained that it was rare for her to visit the palace, and she brought some gifts from home to Concubine Xian De.
Concubine Xian De was Yuanchun's title, and this was the joy of family. Empress Zhang didn't mean to stop it, and what Jia Mu asked for was not big after all, so the meeting between the two was quite pleasant.
After leaving the palace, she was led by the palace maids and headed towards Yuanchun's residence.
This job of leading the way was not random, and there were rules and regulations among the palace maids. The guide who led the way had to stay a few steps away from Jia Mu and others to avoid hearing something that shouldn't be heard.
Wandering in the majestic palace complex, Baoyu saw a place more prosperous than the Grand View Garden, and Xiangyun's troubles were solved.
In his excitement, he couldn't help asking Jia Mu for advice: "Old lady, why don't you ask your sister for help with Sister Xiangyun's matter?"
His father could think of asking Yuanchun, so it makes no sense that the old lady couldn't think of it.
Seeing Baoyu speak in a low voice, Jia Mu couldn't help but think that this child was very smart.
He hurriedly said loudly: "Because the Queen is kind and has a good reputation. The Queen is the mother of the country and the head of the concubines in the harem. We, the ministers and relatives, should visit the Queen if we have any difficulties and beg the Queen to show mercy."
Baoyu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he subconsciously covered the letter in his arms. What the old lady can figure out, but Dad can't figure it out? Or can't Dad ask the Queen for what he wants?
But the road ahead gradually did not allow Jia Baoyu to think carefully. Knowing that her grandmother was coming to visit, Yuanchun had already finished washing and was waiting in the house.
This meeting was less crying than when she came to visit her grandmother. Yuanchun remembered that she was still in the palace. Only after the maids on both sides left did she sit next to Jia Mu and leaned her head into Jia Mu's arms.
"Grandmother, I miss you so much."
"Grandmother, Grandmother, Grandmother." Jia Mu kept raising her hands and patting Yuanchun.
Among so many younger generations in the Jia family, she liked Yuanchun the most back then. It was because she had both the nobleness of Jia Min and the arrogance of her daughter.
If it weren't for Mrs. Wang who suddenly made the decision and insisted on letting Yuanchun enter the palace, Jia Mu would have disagreed in her heart.
After Min'er got married, she felt that her two sons were unreliable. After finally teaching Yuanchun, Mrs. Wang turned around and sent this child to the palace. What's the reason?
Or was it that the daughter-in-law was partial to her and only remembered her eldest son in her heart. If Jia Zhu had passed away a few years earlier, Mrs. Wang would not have dared to be so cruel as to abandon her legitimate daughter and pave the way for her brother from her mother's family.
The Jia family's wealth and status had already reached the limit before Yuanchun entered the palace. Why use a legitimate daughter for political exchange?
What a pity, it is difficult to look back on the past. Jia's mother felt pity in her heart, thinking of the time when she taught Yuanchun to read and write. She only hoped that Yuanchun and her children could live in peace in the palace.
"Remember what your grandmother said. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, and don't listen to things you shouldn't listen to. Today, without your mother and your uncle, you are not allowed to forget your grandmother's words even in your dreams."
Jia's mother felt that at her age, she didn't know how many years she had left. If she should explain something, she should explain it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, this family will really be broken up, how can she face her husband in the underworld?
"Don't worry about what they say to you from now on. You must remember that your safety and wealth in this life all depend on the little prince.
If he is at peace, you will be at peace. If he is content and happy, you will be successful. Don't underestimate others just because you have read a few books. "
The more Yuanchun listened, the redder his eyes became. She hadn't heard such sincere concern in many years since entering the palace.
She held back her tears, looked at Baoyu who was standing aside, and said with a forced smile: "How is my brother doing lately? I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant. I wonder when I will see my nephew born?"
"It should be around the Mid-Autumn Festival." Baoyu had already begun to understand personnel affairs, and could see the difficulties under Yuanchun's gorgeous appearance. He hesitated, wondering whether he should take out his father's letter.
But Baoyu forgot that he was taught by Yuanchun since he was a child. Yuanchun looked at him as if he were half a son.
Seeing the anxiety and nervousness under Baoyu's calm expression, she said directly: "If there is anything you need sister's help with, you might as well say it directly."
Hearing this, Jia Mu turned around sharply. She really didn't know that her grandson was hiding something from her.
When Baoyu saw that her sister had discovered it, she couldn't hide it anymore. He just took out his father's letter, thinking that they were a family after all.
He said openly: "This is the letter that dad asked me to bring to my sister. Dad said that my sister will know after reading it."
When Yuanchun heard this, he already knew something was wrong. The grievance in his eyes immediately disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into the noble and virtuous concubine she was when we first met.
She carefully took Baoyu's letter and nodded lightly.
Jia Mu wanted to inquire about the details, but she was afraid of putting the matter on the table, so Yuanchun couldn't refuse in front of her.
We had no choice but to chat for a few words, and then hurriedly carried Baoyu out of the palace, preparing to interrogate him in the carriage.
Let's not mention the matters between these two people. Just say that after Jia Mu left, Yuan Chun took out Jia Zheng's letter and looked at it, his face was full of panic.
She is a girl who grew up in honey, although Mrs. Wang cares more about her eldest brother Jia Zhu.
He also cared about her no less. There is also the favor of Jia's mother and Jia's father. I really want to say that Yuanchun's life was no worse than Jia Min's when he was a child.
It is precisely this kind of charming daughter of the emperor who is uncomfortable with the many rules after entering the palace, and feels exhausted mentally and physically by the intrigues in the harem.
If she had argued with reason back then, she might have been like her aunt if she knew her fate. No matter how bad she was, she wouldn't have to live in a deep palace all her life, waiting for the emperor's favor from time to time.
She is really a girl who grew up in honey. At this moment, she still innocently recalls the beauty of her childhood. After thinking about it, she figured it out.
She wants to help a bunch of family members. After all, he is her kin, the cousin she grew up with. It's the place where I grew up. It's the home she, Jia Yuanchun, returns to in her dreams every day.
…………

"Who gave you that letter?"
On the carriage back, Jia Mu asked in a rare serious voice.
Looking at the old lady's expression, Baoyu felt more and more uncomfortable. He hesitated for a moment before saying that it was Jia Zheng's idea.
Jia Mu asked about the reason again, but Baoyu didn't know much. Baoyu did not dare to read Jia Zheng's letter.
Baoyu could only say: "Before dad passed out yesterday, I heard that the second brother Lian and the cousin next door came to visit. I only know that the second sister-in-law left in tears, but I really don't know the rest."
Jia Mu trembled when she heard this. In her early years, she had been living with the old Duke day and night. Even if his tactics are not as sophisticated as the old Duke's scheming. Having seen enough pork, I also know what pigs look like when they run.
Mother Jia knew in her heart that something big must have happened to the Jia family. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he walked all the way into the house. Just after passing the second door, I met Mrs. Wang who had been waiting for a long time.
The latter has been worried all day long, fearing that Jia Mu came to the palace to plead for the eldest family, and even more afraid that the other party entered the palace not to plead for the eldest family.
The complicated emotions made her not know what to say after stopping Jia Mu. He could only say awkwardly: "It's hard for the old lady to travel around. Is the child Yuanchun okay?"
Jia Mu was already angry and didn't even want to talk to her. He took Baoyu directly and rushed into Jia Zheng's bedroom.
The youngest son, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, saw his old mother coming in menacingly, and pretended to get up to say hello.
Jia Mu said coldly: "No need, if you still think of me as your mother. Then answer my questions honestly..."
When Jia Mu opened her mouth, she spoke so seriously. Jia Zheng secretly thought that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to stay in bed. He turned over, got off the bed, and knelt directly on the cold ground.
Seeing that Mrs. Jia didn't even say anything to persuade her to stop, Mrs. Wang who was following behind was also shocked.
"Don't think I'm an old fool. Tell me exactly what happened at home recently." Jia Mu said sternly, "If you don't tell me now and you want to tell me again in the future, I will pretend that I don't know." ”
Jia Zheng was originally a man of no opinion. If he could force the matter to pass with a beating, he might not be in trouble later. But if he really had his own opinion, how could his eldest brother have made it this far?
After Jia Zheng finished explaining everything, Jia's mother trembled angrily and pointed at Jia Zheng and then Mrs. Wang.
"Okay, okay, you guys. You all hide everything from me. You all treat me like I'm blind. You say nice things all day long to trick me... That's great. Why is my life so miserable... …”
Hearing that the old lady's words were becoming more and more incoherent, Jia Zheng hurriedly raised his head from the ground, and with just one look, he found that the old lady's face had turned blue and white.
"Mother!!!!" Jia Zheng still had a filial piety and hurriedly knelt down from the ground to Jia's mother, supporting the old lady's trembling body.
"Old lady." Yuanyang could not see anything wrong, and hugged Jia's mother from the side.
Baoyu was completely panicked, and kept saying anxiously: "Grandma, Grandma. Go and get the imperial physician!"
The old lady, who was nearly eighty years old, finally made her younger generation faint.
…………
…………
When Li Zhi left the court, he was immediately invited by Empress Zhang. The couple had been married for many years, and although their love had disappeared a lot. The respect between them was greater than in the early years.
Hearing about the process of Jia's mother entering the palace and what she asked for. Li Zhi said in a subtle way: "Do you think she really doesn't know? Or..."
Knowing that Li Zhi was the emperor's paranoia, Empress Zhang hurriedly persuaded her pillow, saying: "Your Majesty, we don't need to care about what they think, just watch what they do."
This was a bit clear, and Li Zhi also laughed and said: "Yunyun is right."
"What did the old lady ask for?"
As noble as Empress Zhang, she had to call Jia's mother the old lady in private. It's just because the two ancestors of the Jia family were both dukes on the battlefield, not posthumously conferred.
The difference between them is really a world of difference.
"It's a small matter, just agree to it." Li Zhi said subtly.
Mrs. Jia's face, plus the queen's face. It's understandable to save an orphan. Li Zhi waved his hand, unwilling to worry about this matter.
Some things can only be done once. I hope that the Jia family will not regret their decision today.
It's rare to come to the queen's place, and Li Zhi's main thoughts are still on Li Jun. This child's knowledge has grown a lot recently, but after returning from a trip to Songjiang, the whole person has become weird.
"You said Jun'er is in the Ministry of Works all day, what exactly do you want to do?"
If he didn't know that Li Jun was in Songjiang and had been attending classes at Chen Heng's house. Li Zhi would have suspected that the other party had contracted some bad habits that he shouldn't have.
Li Jun is the grandson of the two, and Queen Zhang is unwilling to control him. Li Xian hasn't ascended the throne yet, so even if Jun'er is really confused, there will be other brothers with the same father.
"He is still young, why should your majesty control him so much?" Empress Zhang laughed.
"When I was his age, I had already rushed to the border to learn military tactics from several old dukes." Li Zhi boasted about his prestige in the past, and Empress Zhang was unwilling to point it out.
The two picked up the past and recalled each other. They heard that the palace servants of Concubine Xian De came to deliver some snacks made by Yuanchun herself.
"Confused, I am discussing with the queen. Don't you know this little rule?"
The eunuch carrying the food box knelt on the ground and explained for Yuanchun.
When the scene was awkward, the eunuch beside Empress Zhang suddenly got some news. He knelt in the hall and said to the two people on the throne: "Your Majesty, Queen, the Jia family sent a message to the palace and wanted to invite a few imperial doctors to come."
Why is it their family again? Li Zhi was a little annoyed and had to ask again, "Who is sick in their family? Why are they mobilizing so many troops?"
The chief eunuch raised his head on the pretext of something, and saw Empress Zhang blinking, and then he said without pause: "It's the old Duke's wife. I heard that she fell on her way back home and has been unconscious for a long time."
Li Zhi was also shocked. It was no small matter for an old person of this age to fall.
"Send the imperial physician to their house for treatment as soon as possible."
"Take the old ginseng in the warehouse as well." Empress Zhang added another sentence.
…………
…………
The imperial physician was still on his way, and Jia Zheng had already called Baoyu aside for questioning. Now that the house was in chaos, Baoyu naturally did not dare to hide it. When he told all the recent events, Jia Zheng sighed.
"Heaven wants to kill me, Heaven wants to kill me."
Baoyu had just seen the wealth and splendor in the palace during the day, and he did not understand what his father meant. He was also flustered when he saw Jia Zheng's face full of grief and indignation.
Is it true that such a big family like ours will break up one day?
