Chapter 344 If you feel uneasy...
Rongqing Hall
Hearing Mother Jia's heartbroken sighs, Jia Heng looked silent, broke the silence, and said: "Old lady, it's not been a day or two for the old lady to be confused, old lady don't need to take it to heart."
Yes, it's not a day or two to be confused, I have endured him for a long time.
Sister Feng tried to persuade her: "Old ancestors, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so you don't have to worry about these things, they can handle it by themselves."
Seeing the opportunity, Aunt Xue also spoke out to persuade her.
Mother Jia sighed, looked at Jia Heng with old and complicated eyes, and said: "Brother Heng, you are still young, you are doing great things outside, and you don't have the same knowledge as a foolish person like him who has half of his body buried in the ground."
Jia Heng's face was indifferent, and he was not too touched by such low-profile words.
He felt that Jia's mother's behavior might be faintly aware that he had completely lost patience with Jia Amnesty, or that Jia Zhen's sudden death had aroused some kind of subconscious stress response.
Seeing this, everyone spoke out to persuade them.
Mrs. Wang was expressionless on the side.
As Mrs. Wang, who had watched Jia Amnesty's "farce" and "tragedy" end, she could only feel indescribable fear. If she were to kneel in the ancestral hall...
After a while of consolation, under Sister Feng's intentional diversion, they gradually stopped mentioning Jia Amnesty.
Jia Heng turned to look at Yuan Chun, and said, "Big sister, I'll go see that nobleman later."
These words undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, and Mother Jia hurriedly asked, "Who are you and your elder sister going to meet?"
Jia Heng said: "Eldest sister has been in charge of affairs in the palace and has the talent to manage affairs. I have some friendship with Princess Jinyang, and now we are doing business in Dongcheng together, but I am often busy with official duties, so I don't have much time to take care of business. I just wanted to let the big sister go to the eldest princess's house to be a gifted person, and help me look at the accounts by the way."
It is impossible to "abduct" Yuanchun to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang without letting Jiamu, the head of the family, know.
Jia's mother thought about Jia Heng's words, nodded, and said, "You are a considerate person."
Mrs. Wang's eyes were indifferent, she said nothing, well, she has no objection, and she is happy to see the result.
"Brother Heng just talked about the business in Dongcheng?" Sister Feng showed surprise on her face.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said: "Back then the Sanhe Gang was uprooted, and there were not many properties in their family. The court was eager to sell off the cash and put it into the treasury, so I bought a few shops. There are still a few thousand taels of silver per month in the shop."
As soon as Sister Feng heard that a business was earning thousands of taels of silver every month, she felt her heart beating wildly, her mouth was dry for a while, a bit of brilliance welled up in her long, narrow and clear Danfeng eyes, and she asked anxiously, "Brother Heng, what are these things?" To make a living, is there still a shortage of cash investment?"
Since the Rong Mansion checked the accounts, several 10 taels of silver were confiscated. Although Sister Feng had a little more money, she couldn't make money with the money in her hands. Sister Feng was worried about it.
Tan Chun frowned, and took over the conversation: "Back when Wu Xindeng's house was searched, Brother Heng seemed to ask Sister-in-law Feng to take out some money to do business with Dongfu, but Sister-in-law Feng didn't agree at that time. "
After Tanchun said it, Sister Feng also recalled the past, her expression changed slightly, and she said angrily: "Brother Heng, did you talk about this in the past?"
At the beginning, when investigating Lai's family, Shan Daliang, and Wu Xindeng's families in Xifu, Jia Heng invited the accountant of Jinyi Mansion to help Rongguo Mansion steal several 10 taels of silver.
Jia Heng once proposed to take out money to buy some livelihood and shops in Dongcheng to do business, but Sister Feng and Jia's mother were worried that they would lose their money, so they didn't agree.
At that time, Jia Heng was not yet the commander of the five cities' army and horses, and he had not completely acquired all the industries in the East City.
At this moment, listening to what Jia Heng said, not only Sister Feng, but even Mother Jia didn't care much about money, but it sounded a bit strange.
Mother Jia hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother Heng, is there any good business like this in Dongcheng now?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "The good business has long been gone. Most of the shops confiscated in Dongcheng are for the palace to help with cooking, and the money is also handed over to the palace."
Jia Mu remained silent, glanced at Sister Feng, and said, "It's a pity, Miss Feng."
Sister Feng nodded and remained silent.
It turned out that Jia Heng's power was used to recover the short-lived money. At first, he suspected that he had other intentions, but it was too late to say anything now.
The Gloomy Hall once again fell into a dull atmosphere.
Although Sister Feng felt worse than seeing others making money than losing money herself, she felt regretful in her heart.
Aunt Xue smiled lightly and said: "Brother Heng also helped my shop to check the accounts last time, and recovered a lot of losses from those cunning shopkeepers. I have always wanted to ask Brother Heng to be my host, and Brother Heng has no time. "
Jia Heng said: "It's true that I'm a bit busy, but I owe my aunt's kindness."
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Brother Heng, don't say that, it's the same whenever you come, it's only a few steps away, and it's cheap to come and go, you can come here whenever you want."
Jia Heng nodded.
Aunt Xue laughed again: "Speaking of which, Brother Heng is in charge of Dongcheng now. My shops are all in Dongcheng, and Brother Heng is indispensable to take care of him. Now the business of the imperial merchants in the Ministry of Rites is getting harder and harder, and we can't see thousands of people in a month. Two, things are going well recently, even the imperial merchants are not allowed to do it."
Taking advantage of the trend, he took the initiative to mention the matter of the Emperor Shang, and it is self-evident what his intentions are.
Especially in front of Jia Mu.
Baochai frowned with willow-leaf eyebrows, her apricot eyes were as bright as water, shimmering and rippling with eagerness, and said softly: "Mom, Brother Heng said he is helping to find a solution, we must allow some time."
How can it be urging people to do things like urging their lives, it is very annoying.
The conversation between the mother and daughter caught Jia Mu's attention, and she asked: "What's wrong with the business of the aunt's house, Brother Heng needs to think of something?"
The smile on Aunt Xue's face faded a lot, and she said with a worried tone: "Old lady, for some reason, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that our family's supply to the palace was shoddy, and the Ministry of Rites wants to take advantage of this opportunity to write off the accounts." , received the qualifications of our family’s imperial merchant, the long history of Zhongshun Wangfu, and a few days ago, he came to our store and said that he would compensate the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the goods purchased over the years. Old lady, you said this is messed up, Even if we are so courageous, we don't dare to tamper with the imperial artifacts in the palace, it's clear that someone is making things difficult for our Xue family."
Jiamu frowned and murmured, "Zhongshun Palace?"
As for Prince Zhongshun's residence, she knew better than anyone else that the Duke of Xiaoguo had had a lot of quarrels with that old prince back then, and they almost had no contact with each other until death. The two families were regarded as feuds.
I'm just worried about scaring the children and grandchildren, so I didn't say much in the past.
Why is this trying to move Xue's family?
Mother Jia turned her worried eyes to Jia Heng, "Brother Heng, is there something hidden about Mrs. Xue's family? Could it be that Prince Zhongshun intends to embarrass our family?"
Aunt Xue looked surprised, she turned her eyes to look at Jia Heng, and waited quietly for his words.
Jia Heng said: "There are some reasons, but not all of them."
Aunt Xue said: "Old lady, is there something hidden in this?"
With memories on her face, Mother Jia said: "Back then, when the Duke of Xiaoguo was here, he had disagreements with Prince Zhongshun's government and had some quarrels. This Prince Zhongshun's residence has no clan dignity at all. Most of them still remember grudges now. In our family, it happens to the in-laws, so to speak, the in-laws are still implicated."
Aunt Xue was startled, and said to herself, "I don't think there is such a secret? So this Zhongshun Palace is aimed at the Jia family, and the Xue family has been implicated?"
Of course, it cannot be said that the four families of King Xue of Jia Shi share weal and woe. In the past, their family's business expanded north and south, and they were not less honored by Jia's family.
Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "They are all relatives, they are a family in the eyes of others, the old lady must not say anything that is involved or not."
Seeing Aunt Xue's attitude, Mother Jia nodded secretly and asked, "Brother Heng, is there a way to do this?"
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Yesterday, King Wei gave birth to a son. I entered the palace and asked someone to mention this matter to the empress. Auntie will listen to Xiner in the next two days."
But Tanchun thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Brother Heng, the briefing sent by Wucheng soldiers and horses this morning said that King Zhongshun's second son was detained, could it be related to this matter?"
Mother Jia: "..."
Aunt Xue: "???"
My heart was shocked and inexplicable, and I was speechless for a long time.
Looking at the young man, he asked: "Brother Heng, why did you alarm the empress because of this matter?"
Jia Heng said: "Since it is a matter in the palace, I have to talk to the empress. The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that my aunt's purchase of goods was substandard. At least I should ask if this is true."
While speaking, he glanced at Baochai in surprise, and thought to himself, didn't she tell Aunt Xue?
Meeting the moist and shining apricot eyes, it is like a clear spring, clear and shining.
Aunt Xue said happily: "The Empress is a perceptive person, so she will definitely not listen to what the Ministry of Internal Affairs says. Whether the things bought in the palace over the years are shoddy or not, the palace must be clear about it."
Seeing that Aunt Xue turned from worry to joy, Mother Jia also saw a relaxed look on her old face, and said: "It's good that there is nothing to do, if it really doesn't work, when I enter the palace to greet the two palaces, I will help ask."
Sister Feng laughed and said, "How can I bother the old lady? Brother Heng is a celebrity in the palace now, just open his mouth."
For a moment, the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall became relaxed and happy again.
In other words, after Jia Amnesty, everyone was worried that Jia Heng would have a bad heart.
Mother Jia nodded, suppressed the smile on her face, looked at Jia Heng solemnly, and said: "Brother Heng, the second son of the Zhongshun Palace was detained in the Wucheng Military Division, and this matter... what do you say? "
Jia Heng did not answer directly, but said slowly: "Old lady, don't worry, although the Zhongshun Palace is powerful, we have a family of two countries, and we have made great contributions to the community. As long as we keep our own place and be loyal to the Holy Son of Heaven, we don't need to be afraid of Xiaoxiao's evil spirits." means."
When Jia Mu heard this, her complexion changed slightly.
Yes, the Jia family is very different from before.
Everyone in Rongqing Hall was tasting the young man's words, and their hearts were also shocked by the meaning contained in these light words.
Especially Sister Feng, who is now thinking of her identity as the daughter-in-law of the Jia family.
As for, who is the pillar of the Rongning Second Mansion?
Who will silently contribute to the clan and relatives?
Compared with Jia She, who was behind the scenes just now, this feeling is even stronger.
Jia Heng didn't want to stay longer, and said in a calm tone: "Old lady, it's getting late, my eldest sister and I have to go to Princess Jinyang's mansion, so we will go first."
As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Chun and said, "Big sister, follow me."
Yuan Chun: "..."
"While it's still early." Jia Heng's face remained unchanged, and he quietly added.
Yuan Chun let out a soft "um", got up Yingying, and said goodbye to Jiamu and Mrs. Wang.
But it is said that Jia She left Rongqing hall and did not return to the flower hall, but sent someone to send Sun Shaozu off.
In the flower hall, Sun Shaozu was waiting expectantly. After hearing what the servant said, he frowned and said, "Is General Yunhui missing?"
The servant said: "Commander Sun, Uncle Heng has something else to do, let's make an appointment at another day."
"Where is Uncle Shi?" Sun Shaozu suppressed the depression of being let go, and asked instead.
The servant said: "My lord has other things to do."
Sun Shaozu's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he cursed again and again in his heart, everything was an excuse for anything wrong!This old thing wants to steal his money!
utterly hateful!
He wanted to turn his back on him, but when he suddenly thought of someone, he couldn't help feeling jealous, he squeezed out a smile on his bearded face, and cupped his hands at the servant, "Please also tell Uncle Shi, my nephew will come to visit you some other day." .”
He didn't believe it anymore, if he ran a few more times, the Xijue of the Duke's Mansion couldn't be shameless, right?
After Sun Shaozu finished speaking, he got up and left.
Turning back to Jia Heng's side, he left Rongguo Mansion with Yuan Chun, boarded a carriage with eight treasure hairpins, and was escorted by his followers to the Mansion of Princess Jinyang.
Inside the carriage, it was spacious and elegant, and the two sat facing each other. There was a sweet fragrance floating in the carriage, like orchids and musk deer, and the fragrance was hidden.
Yuan Chun wore a blue and white cotton dress embroidered with plum blossoms, and a gold hairpin was pinned to the rolled-up flying fairy bun. Perhaps it was because she was going to see the eldest princess of Jinyang. She was dressed in a delicate and charming manner, her eyebrows turned slightly, she stared at the young man who was reading a book with her head down, her white teeth bit her cherry lips and said: "Brother Heng, just now my mother..."
Jia Heng held a book in his hand, read it intently, raised his eyes and said, "Eldest sister, no need to explain, a wife is a wife, and a big sister is a big sister."
He treated Yuan Chun kindly, firstly because he was sympathetic to her loneliness in the palace, secondly because Yuanchun had a gentle disposition and a kind heart.
However, his mother, Mrs. Wang's offense to him has not yet been put into action.
This kind of woman with a Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart can only stir up wind and rain in the inner house.
Yuan Chunyu's face trembled slightly, and he sighed faintly: "That's what you said, but... Brother Heng, if you are angry in your heart, just vent it to me."
Jia Heng put down the book in his hand, and there was a faint smile in his eyes under his sword eyebrows: "What do you want me to say to you, big sister?"
"Hmm..." Yuan Chun met the young man's slightly smiling eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and two imperceptible blushes suddenly appeared on his cheeks, like a new moon blooming, and flowers and trees piled up with snow.
Jia Heng smiled, picked up the book again, looked down, and said: "Big sister, if you are uneasy, please do something for me."
"Yeah." Yuan Chun responded, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she asked, "What's the matter?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Jia Heng smiled and said.
He didn't think there was anything Yuan Chun could do for him, he just wanted to be a young girl.
Yuan Chunyu paused for a moment, with bright eyes streaming, looking at the young man who was reading quietly with his head down, he said softly: "Then when Brother Heng thinks about it, you must tell me."
Jia Heng didn't speak any more, and amidst the sound of the carriage turning, the eldest princess arrived at the residence.
Jia Heng led Yuan Chun all the way into the flower hall of the Princess Jinyang's mansion. Not long after, she saw a graceful and beautiful woman in a pink skirt, surrounded by maids and women, stepping in.
Yuan Chun Yingying saluted and said: "I have seen His Highness Jinyang."
Princess Jinyang looked Yuanchun up and down, her charming face was full of smiles, "This is the Yuanchun that Ziyu often mentioned, it really is dignified, gentle and quiet."
Whether it's his face or his figure, Yuan Chun has that kind of plump appearance, coupled with his majestic demeanor, he looks good to Princess Jinyang.
"Your Highness is absurd." Yuan Chun was surprised by the approachable attitude of the lady opposite, and said hastily.
Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "Miss Yuanchun, please sit down. This palace is no different than in the palace. There are rules and regulations, but it's not like walking on thin ice, like facing an abyss."
Yuan Chun did not dare to be negligent, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Princess Jinyang nodded with a smile, and ordered: "Nurse Li, clean up a courtyard for Miss Yuanchun on the east side of the backyard, and let her live in it."
After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Jia Heng, her beautiful eyes painted with rose eye shadow showed a bit of charm and enchantment.
