Chapter 48: Zizhi Tongjian

Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ning Courtyard.

When Jia Zhen came in at the last rays of sunset, she was strolling in the yard to digest her food.

As the old saying goes, walking a hundred steps after a meal can help you live to ninety-nine.

Life was good and there were so many delicious foods that Shen Ning hadn’t eaten enough. She hoped that she could live to be ninety-nine.

"What's the matter?"

The colors on his face weren't right.

"Wang Ziteng got scared and Wang Zisheng was there at the time. He was kicked in the head and is still being rescued."

Jia Zhen felt a little dreamy.

He wanted to attack Wang Ziteng, and he also used the trick of startling the horse, but it is still in the preparation stage, and he doesn't know who will be faster than him.

Jia Zhen was both happy and frightened at the same time. "Mother, do you think this is a coincidence or someone did it?"

Shen Ning: “…”

Does she need to know who did it? Does the man's affair outside have anything to do with her?

"What do you care about?"

Shen Ning was still walking slowly on her way. "Whether it's a coincidence or a human factor, it has nothing to do with us. Wang Ziteng has been so successful these years, so it's hard to guarantee that he hasn't gotten into trouble."

Uh~ that sounds reasonable.

but……

"Mother!" Jia Zhen accompanied her. "In the eyes of outsiders, the Jia family and the Wang family are almost tied together. If something happens to him, we..."

"You better stay at home and wait until I give birth to the baby."

Shen Ning interrupted Hao Daer, "Whether the Jia family and the Wang family are tied together depends on whether you and your uncle She go to see him first."

Jia Zheng runs fast, but he cannot fully represent the Jia family.

At least it was Jia She who inherited the title.

In the Red Mansion, Wang Ziteng probably never had control over the Beijing camp, so when the emperor asked him to patrol the border, he would go immediately.

The emperor must be even more unhappy with him controlling the Beijing camp than the Ningguo Mansion is now.

"Did you go?"

"without!"

Jia Zhen quickly shook his head, "Neither did Uncle She."

He felt more at ease with his mother helping him analyze the situation.

Jia Zhen smiled and said, "The old lady wanted him to go, but Uncle She had a back injury and the imperial physician was called in."

Shen Ning: “…”

I'm quite impressed.

"Did you go and have a look?"

Shen Ning also had a smile in her eyes. "Over at the West Mansion, besides the old lady, there are probably only a few children. Some are old, some are young..."

"My son just came from Xifu."

Jia Zhen nodded, "Aunt Xing and Yingchun are both here."

Welcoming spring?

Shen Ning paused.

The last time she went to Rongguo Mansion to see Jia Jing, she actually saw that little girl.

The seven-year-old child looked okay and not that timid.

I just regretted that I was in a bad mood at that time. I just wanted to strip Jia Jing naked without saying a word.

"Green bamboo!"

"Mrs!"

Qingzhu hurriedly stepped forward.

"I remember Yingchun likes to play chess, right?"

She asked her son again.

But how would Jia Zhen know?

But when his mother asked him, he nodded quickly, "Yes!"

If you don't like it, you can learn to like it after some practice.

Anyway, girls all play chess and piano, right?

"go!"

Shen Ning said, "Send some medicinal herbs to the eldest master. Take a set of Zizhi Tongjian from the second girl, and send a set of small jewelry that I made the day before yesterday. Tell the second girl that her brother is not at home, and she is the pillar of her father's family. Take good care of her father and mother, and reward her well when the eldest aunt gives birth to a little sister."

"……yes!"

Qingzhu and Jia Zhen were both confused. Why did she give the Zizhi Tongjian to the little girl? Was that a book for the little girl to read?

But Qingzhu didn't ask anything. He just bowed slightly and quickly went to make arrangements.

"Mother, are you sure you want to send me the Zizhi Tongjian?"

Jia Zhen was full of doubts. "Is it related to playing chess? I remember there are several chess manuals at home..."

"Chess records are dead, but people are alive."

Shen Ning said speechlessly: "If you want to play chess well, you have to win from a distance. If you want to win from a distance, you have to understand people's hearts. Zizhi Tongjian should let her see how the capable people in this world control people from a distance."

Jia Zhen: “…”

I was trembling with fear! How did my mother combine chess and Zizhi Tongjian so perfectly?

"By the way, come back and take a look!"

"……yes!"

Jia Zhen walked away dejected.

In the small garden in the east courtyard of the West Mansion, Jia She, who was pretending to be sick, was very unhappy that his daughter was there.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It’s hard for him to find a concubine now that his daughter is here.

"I don't have anything to do here, you should go back and rest early!"

In fact, he was somewhat relieved.

The son was not at home, and the daughter came over to look after him immediately when she knew he was injured.

There was a rare warmth in Jia She's voice at this moment.

"You guys take good care of the Second Young Lady, and then..."

Just as he was about to say something else, a little maid came to report that the eldest lady of the East Palace had sent someone over.

Jia She had no choice but to give up for the time being.

"Greetings to the Master and the Madam."

Qingzhu bowed to the two people who looked over, and then bowed to Yingchun, "Greetings to the Second Miss. Our mistress knows that the eldest master has injured his waist, so she specially asked me to bring some medicinal herbs over."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law."

Jia She leaned on the couch and motioned Xing to take it, "Tell her when you get back that I'm fine and will be fine in a few days."

"yes!"

Qingzhu took the big box from the maid behind her and presented it to Xing's maid. She then took the small box and a large set of books and presented them to Yingchun herself. "Second Miss, our Madam said that when Second Master Lian is not at home, you are the pillar of the eldest master. Knowing your filial piety, this is a special reward from our Madam for you."

Huh? "Thank you, auntie!"

Yingchun accepted the gift with her maid, "Aunt, you are too kind."

Her father's mouth twitched when he heard that she was his pillar.

"Respecting father and mother is Yingchun's duty!"

“…Hahahaha, that’s right.”

Jia She had no idea why his sister-in-law would do this.

Lian'er is not at home, but he is far from needing care.

Besides, what can a little girl like Yingchun do to help him? "Sister-in-law, you are too polite."

Xing also smiled and said politely, "Go back and tell your wife that when the master is better, I will bring the second girl to pay her respects."

"That's a good feeling."

Qingzhu smiled and said, "Our wife is fascinated by the little girl now. The second young lady is good-looking and likes to play chess. Our wife specially gave this set of Zizhi Tongjian as a gift, saying that you can read it more in your spare time, which will also be helpful for learning chess."

"……yes!"

Yingchun was confused.

Zizhi Tongjian is a history book, right?

What does it have to do with her learning chess? Yingchun actually doesn't like chess very much, it's very brain-burning.

But her family seemed to want her to learn chess.

In order to please her elders, she had no choice but to learn it.

"Yingchun will remember what my aunt said."

The little girl agreed very solemnly. A maid nearby, at Jia She's signal, gave rewards to Qingzhu and the two maids who accompanied her.

Actually, this is not something that should be done by a man like him, but Xing is extremely stingy.

Anything that passes through her hands will be peeled off a layer of skin.

It would have been fine if he had done this to the people from the second house in the past, but to do this to the people from the East Palace... Jia She couldn't afford to lose face.

Yingchun personally sent Qingzhu and the other two out, and when she came back, she naturally stayed there.

After all, she is now her father's pillar of support.

Jia She really wanted to sternly chase the man away, but his eldest sister-in-law had already given her daughter such a big face. If he threw it on the ground, not only would his daughter be upset, but his eldest sister-in-law would also be upset if she knew about it.

Forget it, just be patient!
