Chapter 178: Escort His Majesty
Chapter 178 Escort His Majesty
Everyone listened and talked a lot.
"There is such a thing."
"Jia Rong is really nothing. He actually asked the Wang family to divorce. What qualifications does he have?"
"You are a stubborn person. If you are misunderstood, won't you be angry?"
"Good people become bad people, and everything in a wealthy family is dirty."
These rumors spread to the Wang family, and Wang Ziteng's wife personally came to the door and rebuked Mrs. Wang for her ignorance.
The sister-in-law of the Wang family scolded her: "Sister, you are confused. Who is Jia Rong? Your elder brother said that he will join the cabinet in the future. How can you blame him?"
"Even if you want to say something against him, you should say it in private. How can you say it in front of so many people?"
Mrs. Wang said angrily: "He said he had divorced me."
"If you didn't anger him, how could he say such a thing? You didn't do anything wrong, so why would it be his turn to divorce you?
Others are eager to get involved with him, so you can push them away. Now it's better, relatives can't do it, and they have become enemies."
"If a family doesn't speak the same language, you should find an opportunity to step down."
People in the Shi family also knew about this, so Shi Nai personally came to ask for an audience with the old lady.
The old lady is an elder, so naturally he cannot preach like Wang's sister-in-law. He has a sincere attitude and speaks like a junior.
"You also know what life has been like these past few years. The family has declined, and the family can only rely on renting a house to collect rent. Even the female relatives in the family have to work as female workers to support the family.
Today's life is finally much better, all thanks to Jia Rong.
Without his support, we would never have the good life we have now."
"It's true that you are from here when you marry, but you should also think about your family and us.
The reason why Jia Rong is so good to us is all because of you. If you had a falling out with him, how could he still give me face?
Even my mother-in-law’s family, who support us, won’t call us.”
Shi Nai complained to Jia Mu and cried a lot.
He didn't say a word of reproach, but every word he spoke touched Jia Mu's weakness.
Shi Nai also cried and said: "It's all useless for us. If we have confidence, we can stand up for you and won't make it difficult for you."
Jia Mu hugged her nephew and cried bitterly, beating Shi Nai on the back, "You are trying to hurt me!"
Seeing that the crying inside had stopped, Wang Xifeng walked in, pulled Shi Nai away, and asked someone to take Shi Nai to the front yard.
"Please call the doctor quickly."
Jia's mother had a high fever that night, and even after taking two patches of medicine, she didn't feel better.
Jia Zheng angrily scolded Jia Baoyu: "If it weren't for you, an unfilial son, our ancestors wouldn't be like this."
Jia Zheng punched Jia Baoyu twice with his fist, and then was stopped by Mrs. Wang.
When Jia Baoyu saw that his beloved ancestor fell ill, he himself was confused and didn't know how long it would take.
Xue Baochai took this opportunity to take care of Jia Baoyu and comfort him, which made Jia Baoyu trust her even more.
Mrs. Zhang heard Yuanyang say that her ancestor was ill, so she brought Yuanyang over to visit her.
No one said she shouldn't come.
If anyone says something nonsense, the relatives of these two families will not have to deal with it.
Mrs. Zhang pulled Wang Xifeng and said: "The rumors outside must be calmed down, otherwise our ancestor's illness will become even worse."
"Those words are true, they must have been spread by people in the mansion. When I arrest them one by one and torture them, I will definitely find the person who spread the words." Wang Xifeng said angrily.
Mrs. Zhang said: "In this case, I will also ask the people around the uncle to warn me, and send people out to threaten those who gossip. No one will mention this matter within three days."
Zhang and Wang Xifeng joined forces to quell the rumors outside.
Wang Xifeng also arrested many lazy servants, sold a batch, and beat another batch, and then the Rongguo Mansion became quiet.
Mrs. Wang was cruel and drove Jia Baoyu's nanny, Li Gui and others out together.
Jia Baoyu was distressed by Mingyan's death and felt guilty that she had caused Li Gui trouble, so she asked someone to secretly send money to Li Gui.
But since he was at home openly and there was no need to go out, Jia Baoyu soon forgot about these two people.
After Qin Zhong finished the exam, he asked Qin Zhong to come to the mansion to play.
……
On October 12, the third batch of sacred trees entered Kyoto.
There is light snow falling in the sky, but it still cannot resist the enthusiasm of the people.
Wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, they stood on both sides of the street waiting.
Those who have seen it and those who have not are all waiting obediently.
Trains have become a common topic for them.
"Enter the city."
"I heard a sound."
"Where?"
Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked towards the city gate.
The first thing I saw was not the locomotive, but the workers laying the tracks.
The iron content of the rails is too high, and a small section of the rails was stolen not long ago.
The other party came to steal it in the middle of the night, but the workers discovered it early and woke up Shi Ding. Shi Ding took the soldiers out to search and found it after walking two or three miles.
When the train arrived outside the city gate, slaves from each family were running back and forth.
Zhang Dingyuan held the rope with one hand and the flag with the other.
The flag is tied to a rope, and he just needs to swing it out.
There was light snow falling in the sky, and there were many snowflakes accumulated on his head, but he couldn't care about it.
The cold seemed to ignore him. He couldn't feel the cold, only the sweat on his back.
When the train entered the city gate, Zhang Dingyuan became even more nervous, "When the whistle stops, I will shout. It will definitely work..."
The people in the city stepped up and looked out, "The tracks are coming, the train will be here soon."
"Coming."
After calling for a long time, I finally saw the Tie Ge Da locomotive.
"I see, the train is coming into the city."
"What a tall guy."
"This is the train, it's amazing."
People who saw the train for the first time were so excited that they jumped up to watch.
Shi Ding blew the whistle.
The lively crowd was engulfed by the sound of the whistle, and they were temporarily silent for a few seconds.
At this time, Zhang Dingyuan shouted: "The Zhang family in Luling is escorting your Majesty, God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
When Zhang Dingyuan shouted, the crowd all looked towards him.
Zhang Dingyuan was so excited that he had goosebumps.
"Luling Zhang Family!"
"Who is the Grand Master?"
"What a brave boy."
The Crown Prince unfurled his flag and shouted: "The King of Xining County is protecting His Majesty, God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
As the sacred tree entered Kyoto, one flag after another was thrown out by the domineering force.
"The Cui family of Xihe is escorting Your Majesty, God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The Zhao family of Gusu is escorting His Majesty, God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The Zhou family of Yangzhou is escorting His Majesty, God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The Handan Chen family is escorting His Majesty, God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
……
The bright flags were thrown out one after another, attracting bursts of cheers from the crowd.
The dandy boys hanging beside the sacred tree are extremely proud.
"Escort His Majesty, God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"God bless the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The children of each family saw their brother and ran along the road.
"Second brother."
"Little Five."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty."
