Chapter 255 Threat
In Rongguo Mansion, Grandmother Jia is always uneasy.
I heard early in the morning that my niece's wife, Shen, from the East Palace next door, was summoned to the palace. In the past, she entered the palace most likely for being rewarded, but now there is also a Princess Rong in that palace!
Ever since the disturbance at school, the raid on Lai's house, and the return of the treasury silver, this niece-in-law has become more and more daring.
But before, when she went crazy at home, Zhen'er was filial, and as long as it was not too outrageous, Grandmother Jia would just turn a blind eye and let it go. But what about now? The emperor made the second girl the Princess of Rongguo. Isn't it because he wanted the Jia family to help him fight against those people of Wohe first?
It's fine if it's done well, but what if it's not done well? "Old lady~"
Lin Zhixiao's wife rushed in and said, "Oh no! Princess Rong and the wife next door have taken people to Huitong Hall again."
What? Grandmother Jia stood up at once and said, "Go and call your master."
"As soon as the master heard about it, he went with Master Zhu and Master Zhen."
Lin Zhixiao's wife was also helpless. The reason she knew about this was because Second Mistress asked her to keep a close eye on the head of the household. If the head of the household and the master had anything to do together, she had to find out what they were doing immediately.
She obediently went to check.
Now reporting...
Lin Zhixiao's wife secretly glanced at the second wife, Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng nodded to her calmly.
That's it.
Jia Lian was not at home, but the matter of his second aunt concerned the entire Jia family.
Although she is the housekeeper, she is of a lower generation and the master will not inform her of anything.
Not to mention the East Palace.
She could only ask Lin Zhixiao's family to keep a close eye on Lin Zhixiao.
When the old lady asked, I would be able to answer all the questions without knowing the answer.
"Then send someone to Huitong Hall to see what's going on there."
Grandmother Jia was very worried. "Send a few more people. If anything happens, report it immediately. Don't leave and never come back like last time."
She is old and can't stand all this happening.
"yes!"
Lin Zhixiao's wife secretly glanced at the second grandmother again.
Wang Xifeng nodded quickly again.
She went out in a hurry.
Grandmother Jia sighed, "Feng girl, you should hurry over there too, and send a few more people to follow."
“Hey~”
Wang Xifeng also left in a hurry.
Grandmother Jia couldn't sit still, so she started walking around the room.
Fortunately, Jia Zhu was more reliable this time. When he arrived at Huitong Hall, he found that it was not their family members who suffered losses, so he immediately sent someone back.
"Madam," the servant returned with a happy face, "Master Zhu asked me to come back and report that Wohe Beile was slapped ten times by the eunuchs accompanying him because of his disrespectful words when he met the princess. Their two princes also saw it at the time. Not only that, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied them also taught them on the spot how the vassal state should perform the two bows when meeting my Princess Dazhao."
"They...they did it?"
Grandmother Jia glanced at her daughters Jia Min and Wang Xifeng who were rushing in, and asked them what they were most concerned about.
It was Jia Min who noticed the key word "vassal state minister".
"I did."
The servant nodded vigorously.
"Okay~"
It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked, but after the shock, Grandmother Jia was even more frightened.
It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Those Jin people took revenge...but they were killing people in every city.
The second girl did this, unless she didn't want to go back. If she went back...
"How is the eldest wife of the East Mansion?"
"The eldest lady has always been with the princess."
"...Someone, come and give me a reward!"
There was nothing much to say to a servant, so Grandmother Jia waved her hand, asked someone to give him a reward, and let him go.
"Mother~"
Seeing that her mother looked unhappy, Jia Min hurriedly helped her mother sit down, "Sister-in-law, you know your limits, please don't..."
"I know she knows her limits, but sometimes the world is too far away!"
Now someone has something to ask of Dazhao.
But Grandmother Jia couldn't say anything to ask Jia Wen to humble herself and try to please Wo He.
Being a woman is difficult, and being a woman caught between two countries is even more difficult.
This is also the reason why so many princesses who were married off to foreign countries in history did not have a good ending in the end.
"Mother, my second sister is not afraid of death, so what else is she afraid of?"
Jia Min, who is extremely smart, can actually vaguely guess what her eldest sister-in-law and second sister are going to do.
Some things cannot be used once they expire.
Now that I can use it, of course I want to get some of it back with interest.
Otherwise it would be too cowardly.
While Jia Min was trying to persuade Lady Jia, Wang Xifeng was afraid that something might happen to the old lady, so she secretly winked at Ping'er, asking her to quickly invite the family doctor to come and wait for her.
Ever since the East Palace hired a court physician, Wang Xifeng has been secretly doing the math. On the surface, hiring a court physician is a luxury, but in fact, not to mention the entire family in the palace, it is worth it just for the old lady alone.
As elderly people get older, they often have this and that problem, and they have to take countless pills.
Although the old man is qualified to hire an imperial physician due to his status, in many cases, the imperial physician will not arrive the moment you call for him.
People have to take care of the nobles in the palace first.
If the old lady is sick, she simply can't wait.
What's more, now is the critical time for the Second Master's career and Brother Zhu's college entrance examination, so Wang Xifeng simply invited a doctor with a good reputation to be the palace physician.
"Now that the emperor is backing up my second sister, she doesn't dare to do what she did. If something really happens in the future, how can she regret it?"
Jia Min, who was carried in and out of military camps by her father when she was young, has her own blood in her bones.
However, she felt that her eldest sister-in-law was not showing off just for the sake of momentary gratification when she took her second sister out to show off.
It's just that she hasn't figured it out yet.
"...never mind, you all have your own ideas."
Grandmother Jia never expected that even at her old age, she would still have to worry about her children.
This is different from what the Duke said at the beginning.
Before the Duke passed away, he held her hand and said that after he was gone, she just wanted to enjoy wealth and prosperity, and that a long life would be a blessing for her and the Jia family.
Originally, Grandmother Jia also thought so.
The son's generation is no longer capable, and the Jia family has to rely on the grandchildren.
The East Palace has been abandoned by the royal family, so it would be nice if they could live in peace and stability from now on.
In the West Palace, Zhu'er passed the exam and became an official, Lian'er guarded the house, Yuanchun was in the palace, Baoyu...
Suddenly thinking of Baoyu's jade, Grandmother Jia gave up all her previous fantasies.
No matter what, it seems to be better than I originally thought.
The granddaughter Yuanchun and her husband live in harmony and cannot come back recently because, like Youshi, she was also pregnant before her nephew Jia Jing got into trouble.
Zhu'er has not yet taken the examination, but Lian'er is already a doctor in the Armory.
Never mind, let them do whatever they want! "My heart was a little panicked just now, Feng girl, go and get Doctor He."
For the sake of her grandchildren, she has to take good care of herself.
"Ping'er has already gone to invite him. He will be here soon."
"...You are a good one."
Grandmother Jia lay on the couch and asked the palace doctor to see her.
It turned out that I had palpitations, lack of rest, and excessive thinking.
After the prescription was written and the medicine was boiled, the old lady had just finished drinking it when another servant was ordered to rush back, "Report~, old lady, there are fast horses coming to the capital from the Jin people, saying that Beile Wohe has been elected as the leader of the Bordered White Banner and has been granted the title of king. Their two young princes have cooperated with Prince Wohe to apologize to the princess and promised that she will be the prince's legal wife, and the two sons born to the princess will both beile, and the little princess will be a Heshuo princess. All we need is the princess's consent, and the family will be reunited!"
“…”
“…”
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Everyone is digesting this question.
Is Woher a prince?
Is it because of the girl in their family?
Grandmother Jia was not very happy.
The second girl originally married into the Wu family.
If it's casual...
"The princess agreed?"
As a woman, Jia Min also pays more attention to this.
No matter how glorious the second sister is now, the fact that she was not married to Wohe through three matchmakers and six engagements, even if Wohe clings to Dazhao and the emperor uses him to control that side, she will still be criticized just because she does not have a formal marriage certificate.
Not only will she be criticized by the Jin people, but her three children will also be despised.
Even if the daughter of the Jia family gets married in the future, she will be gossiped about because of her.
"No!"
The servant shook his head hurriedly. "Before the princess could say anything, the master and Master Zhu and Master Zhen rushed over and beat Wohe again, saying... that he bullied the princess and kidnapped her, and now he dared to talk about family reunion. They demanded that Wohe and their two little kings hand over the princess's child. Our family can afford to raise it."
Grandmother Jia: “…”
She didn't know what to say.
In fact, my niece-in-law from the East Mansion is there, so we should listen to her in everything.
Sheer is such a fool. He is old but still doesn't know anything! And Zhuer, why did he also act impulsively? "They didn't fight back?"
Jia Min asked the key question.
"Someone wanted to fight back."
The servant swallowed, "But the princess got off the sedan with a whip and gave Woher a whip. Then their two princes stopped their men with their eyes."
“…”
“…”
Now even Wang Xifeng realized that things were getting difficult.
They are being so humble, I'm afraid Second Aunt will be impeached by the Censor.
Although she and Wohe did not have a marriage certificate, they had three children. If she beat Wohe in the street like that, people would definitely think she was arrogant and domineering.
What can we do? In this world, men, and even many women, will sympathize a little when a woman is bullied by her husband's family, but that's all.
It's the women who beat the men in the street...
Just look at the fact that the eldest aunt in the East Mansion was described as the most shrewd woman in the world, and you will know what people will say about the second aunt.
"What did the East Mansion's eldest wife say?"
Jia Min sighed in her heart and asked again.
"The eldest lady took a musket and asked the two little princes if Wohe was their nephew or brother. They said yes, and then the eldest lady said yes repeatedly, saying that the whole family bullied the princess and it was rude not to return the favor when they came to the capital. She asked the master and Master Zhen to beat the two of them."
The servant spoke quickly this time, "There were two other people who came back with me. They went to the back street and the school to call for people."
What? A flash of surprise flashed across Jia Min's eyes, and she said to her maid, "Quick, call housekeeper Lin. As a younger sister, I can't just stand by and watch as someone bullies my sister."
The maid left in a hurry, and she turned to Wang Xifeng, who was also eager to try, and said, "Feng'er, send someone to send a message to the Marquis of Xinping."
"yes!"
Wang Xifeng hurriedly signaled Ping'er to go quickly.
At this time, Jia's mother finally reacted, "No, those two princes let them beat them? Their guards..."
"Before their guards could even come forward, the imperial guards drew their swords."
The servant said honestly, "The eldest lady of the East Palace also fired a gun and killed a guard. She said that she wanted to use her large number of people and her superior martial arts to bully the princess of Dazhao and the Jia family in the capital. That was a wrong calculation."
"And then?"
The old lady is concerned.
"The younger one was assigned to come back and report the news."
This? Everyone was anxious.
"Go, arrange a carriage, and we will go and take a look."
Grandmother Jia finally couldn't bear it anymore.
At this point, the two princes over there probably didn't dare to let their guards take action again.
Now the daughter of the Jia family has been bullied, and the Jia family is going to seek revenge on the man.
It's not a big deal.
It is common among the people.
Even in the homes of the powerful, two such incidents occurred two years ago.
The daughter of the Dali Temple Minister married the son of the Minister of Works. As a result, the couple had a conflict. The woman took the dowry and wanted to go home, but the man blocked her. After a tug of war in the street, the relatives of both families were alarmed, and the two families started fighting in the street, injuring several people. Finally, the couple reconciled.
At this time, the niece-in-law alarmed the whole family, and after all, they still supported the second girl.
Give her more things and more security from the man.
Grandmother Jia believed that after the Russians attacked there, the various royal palaces there must have transferred their property to Dazhao.
They've done this before.
It was discovered by his nephew Jia Jing.
He was in charge of the Beijing camp for his eldest uncle. During that period, he felt that there were too many merchant caravans coming from outside the Great Wall. He followed the clues and earned more than three million taels of silver for the retired emperor and the crown prince.
Later, Grandmother Jia was curious and wondered why those people transported their property here when there was a war between the two sides.
Jing'er said, if they don't ship it here, are they shipping it to the grassland? Even if there is a lot of silver there, it will be useless if we can't spend it.
Only here, for those people, is the real world of pleasure.
If you lose, you can hide here under a false name and still live a good life.
Grandmother Jia was slightly excited.
She was not coveting Jia Wen's future gains, she just wanted to know how much Shen could get from those people.
At this time, those who heard about the fight between the two parties thought that Shen Ning wanted money or the Jia family wanted money. Even Suo Jin and Tie Bao thought that the Jia family wanted to make a fortune through Jia Wen.
When facing Shen Ning with a gun, the two men did not dare to fight back against Jia She and the others. They just tried their best to protect their vital parts and apologized bitterly.
In recent years, they have often suffered from such things as being implicated because of their brothers.
Now that the Qing Dynasty has declined and is no longer what it was when the country was founded, the various grassland tribes that once intermarried with them have also straightened their backs.
So, the two of them apologized very quickly.
By the time the Jia family arrived, Suo Jin, who was already an elderly man, had a black eye.
But in fact, what hurt him and Tiebao even more were the many parts of their bodies that they couldn't tell others about.
For example, the breasts, for example, the armpits, hiss~ Tiebao's eyes were blazing with anger, and he wished he could kick to death his brother who was lying there wailing.
He was prepared for the Jia family to ask for a huge sum of money, but he was not prepared to be beaten so badly!
Jia She, Jia Zhen...
Tiebao gritted his teeth.
Of course, if looks could kill, Jia Zhu would have been dead long ago.
This so-called weak scholar bastard hid something in his arm, and it must have hurt so much when it hit me.
