The road back (12)

Although the relationship with Jia Jing was considered a transaction, Fourth Master still vaguely mentioned this matter to Jia Jing.

Jia Jing shook his head: "It's rare to be confused, it's rare to be confused. Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

He actually never said a word again.

Fourth Master quietly played a game of chess with him, then stood up and left.

But the fourth master also understands that Jia Jing is rarely confused. What can he do if he is not confused? What if he tells the government about these things that may happen?

Which of the men in the house is useful? Don't scare them all and make them do even more stupid things because of their confusion.

I hope that thanks to the merits of our ancestors, the people above will be more tolerant because they are just a bunch of fools. Even if the family business fails in the future, at least the roots will remain. If it gets messed up inside

, then who will die if they don’t die? That would harm the whole family, including women, children, old and young.

So, go ahead and be confused. As long as you don't do anything to seek death, you won't die.

Jia Jing has always used the method of engraving the Yin Bird Sutra to advise his children and grandchildren to accumulate virtue and do good deeds and to accumulate Yin virtue. If Jia Zhen and Jia Rong can really do this, even if they do not have a title, they may not be able to become rich men in peace.

But think about Jia Zhen's virtue and don't say anything. The Jia family's path has been doomed since the prince was imprisoned.

Now that I'm out of the city, I don't care about anything in the city.

When Wang Xifeng's note came, of course Lin Yutong didn't go. She didn't go home or go back, but she had to say it properly. Because there is a kind of raspberry in the mountains, which is small and ripe and sweet and sour. She

I just needed this, so I asked the children of the surrounding mountain people to pick it up and bring it to them. I collected it every day for a few copper coins per pound, and after collecting it, I made jam and sherbet. It happened to be May Day, so I asked someone to bring it to me.

I just said that Qian's health was not good again and it was inconvenient for her to leave. But this thing was made at home and was very clean. It was used as an appetizer for the old lady.

There are also clansmen and some people I have been with before who need to give gifts this May. I sent Du Youcai away and went from house to house. This trip lasted three days, and it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival.

Du Youcai came back two days before the Dragon Boat Festival. When he came back, he said: "There seems to be something wrong. You can go out of the city, but the search is very strict when you enter the city. I don't know if it is to search for big thieves. I have already called people's attention at home."

Be sure to close the door, don't stay outside at night, and ask to patrol the yard..."

After appreciating Du Youcai's attentiveness, Yu Liang looked at his brother-in-law: "Is something really going to happen?"

Just when we thought something was going to happen, early the next morning, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, on the fourth day of May, news came: the prince had passed away.

The third day of May was the prince's birthday. And the prince died on the night of his birthday.

It was only said that he had an emergency and died of a sudden illness.

He also said that when the emperor got the news, he immediately felt heartache, and something was probably wrong.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were convicted one after another, or they were beheaded directly, or their families were sent away. The entire capital was silent.

After another three days, he just said that the emperor was not in good health, and named the fourth prince as prince, and chose a day to ascend the throne as emperor. He proclaimed himself the supreme emperor.

Immediately afterwards, less than half a month later, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the horn of the enthronement ceremony was sounded for three days and three nights.

Lin Yutong caught a glimpse of a date written on paper by Fourth Master - the third day of May.

She didn't quite understand: "In the book, is it the day when Yuanchun asked the Jia family to hold a wedding ceremony?"

Fourth Master shook his head: "Second brother's birthday is on the third day of May."

ah?

ah!

Lin Yutong knew what the fourth master was talking about. He was talking about Prince Yinreng's birthday.

Many people interpreted Red Mansions and said that this was an allusion to the imperial power at that time.

Who knows.

But this day is quite a coincidence.

So, "This is just a coincidence." She told Fourth Master. Thinking about it, she thought it was probably because she thought of her old friend on this day, so she added: "How about I go vegetarian today and read a few scriptures..."

"Okay!" he said.

"..." Lin Yutong was stunned for a little longer, and then said: "Okay...?!"

Fourth Master's sadness goes away as quickly as it comes.

A letter was sent from Shan Ziye in the capital, confirming that this year's Autumn Festival will still be held as usual, but I am afraid that the date will be difficult to determine, and the fourth master will really study behind closed doors.

The capital city was still turbulent. The newly enthroned emperor began to show favors. He had finished giving out rewards for this and that, and had not yet found time to do some serious work. The result was bad. The emperor, who had already said that he was seriously ill, was alive and kicking again.

.

It would be okay if the Supreme Emperor really ran away and hid in peace, but in the end, he didn't.

It was said before that the Supreme Emperor was critically ill. The Emperor ascended the throne, but he did not live in the main palace. Instead, the family moved into the East Palace. As a filial son, now that the status has been decided, what are you anxious about? Ask your father who is seriously ill to move out.

?If you really do this, everyone in the world will drown in saliva.

As a result, the mourning hall of the late prince was moved to the cold palace, and he was given the title of Prince Yitada. They also moved the women and children of the East Palace to a remote palace. The East Palace was vacated and they stayed there temporarily.

I originally thought that the Emperor's time would be running out.

Who would have thought that this summer was not over yet, but he got better again. Not only did he get better, he also summoned his ministers.

What to do now?

How old is the Supreme Emperor? He is in his fifties...that's all.

The fourth master scratched his head after hearing this: "It's so lively! This is so lively."

Isn't it noisy? This makes my subordinates at a loss what to do.

Who do you think you listen to?

Just listen to the emperor? Then the emperor may have a hard time promoting you, but if he wants to punish you, it is just a matter of one sentence. The emperor has no shortage of people. As long as they are not people that the emperor can't live without, why should the emperor compete with the emperor if he has nothing to do?

After all, the initial period of time was still a time of testing each other.

Lin Yutong was a little unsure: "Do you want to participate in this year's Qiuwei?"

Definitely want it!

Originally, after autumn, I thought I would have to wait three years. But it turns out that Enke will be open next year.

The emperor firstly had to win over the hearts of scholars all over the world, and secondly he had to cultivate his own direct lineage, which required people with clean backgrounds.

Because they had to attend the Autumn Festival, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master returned to the capital with their people as soon as August came. Yu Liang and Shao Hua were not in a hurry to go back. They said they would wait until the child was born. Yu

Liang had received the news before, and half of the camp was dead or injured. Some of them were involved, and some were unaware of it. They were going to seize the camp that night. These people didn't know what was going on. Those who clung to the key and didn't let go were directly hacked to death.

.

When these people died, they died, and their families received no pension at all. Many of them died, leaving behind women and children, and funerals were hastily arranged. Their families no longer dared to stay in the capital, and they all sold their houses in the city and returned home.

They went to their respective hometowns. Some simply bought yards in the countryside on the edge of the capital and settled them temporarily. They did not dare to stay in the city for fear of being accused and getting involved.

Therefore, knowing that the chaos would continue, Yu Liang would not go back. He just asked Finance Minister Du You to be careful, looked at the people around him, and reported those who wanted to sell their houses out of the city. The main reason was to move the house back.

Expand the larger one.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master also quietly bought a house. One with four entrances and one with three entrances. By buying two houses, they saved more than half the money.

Both of these houses were once lived in by the convicted imperial censor, and were taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They can be bought wherever you find them, and the prices are not high.

For the third-level house, the fourth master directly wrote it in Jia Xia's name. After he got married, he immediately moved out and lived on his own. As for the family's old house, Jia Xia was consulted for his opinion. This second-level house,

When the young girl gets married, she will be given as a dowry.

However, moving now is not a good idea. The family lives quietly in the old house, and the fourth master studies behind closed doors at home. Lin Yutong has to go out to socialize.

In fact, the current situation does not look good, and most people avoid it if they can.

For example, some old Hanlins whom Fourth Master met before heard that they were planning to celebrate the birthday of their eighty-year-old mother, but now that the day is approaching, they no longer believed it. Lin Yutong asked someone to send birthday gifts, and they were there to pick them up.

However, they didn’t mention the official day of the birthday party. Obviously, they didn’t plan to do it. They tried to reduce social interactions as much as possible to save people’s attention. Those who didn’t know thought that the officials were secretly forming cliques and colluding with each other.

But the Jia family doesn’t care?

It was August 15th, and Wang Xifeng sent another message, inviting Lin Yutong to come over for a drink. The person who sent it was still embarrassed, and they said: "Our grandma said, if grandma can't be invited, our grandma will do it herself."

Girl Peace is here to get someone."

Well!

Fine!

Anyway, when the Jia family holds a banquet, no outsiders usually come to the door. With their style, starting from this incident, no one will come to the door even if they are waiting for a while.

Naturally, I couldn't go on the official day of August 15th, but a day earlier, a banquet was being held, so I had to go there anyway.

I didn’t bring anything else with me except various flower-shaped mooncakes filled with jam. I brought a lot of them. I made sure that both the master of the Jia family and the humble servants could have a taste of them.

The Jia family is hosting a feast of crabs today, each one weighing half a catty.

Lin Yutong arrived late, and a banquet was already being held when he arrived.

Wang Xifeng said: "Let me just say, she is a very busy person. She calculated the time. She doesn't have to wait. She will definitely be able to catch up with the banquet."

Lin Yutong also joked with her: "That's what I said. Ever since I received the post yesterday, I haven't eaten. I'm just waiting for this meal with an hungry stomach."

It made everyone laugh.
