Shuijing suddenly felt sorry for Jia Xie. When Zhang Xianfang died, he was not in the capital.
He did not know how Jia Xie licked her wounds during that time. Later, when he returned to the capital, he saw Zhang Xianfang once.
At that time, Zhang Xianfang was thin, but he seemed to be in good spirits. Now that he thought about it, he must have been forcing a smile to comfort himself.
Looking at Jia Xie, who cried for a long time without stopping, Shuijing sighed.
He sighed with emotion and said, "The dead can't be brought back to life. Xianfang is down there … He doesn't want you to ruin your body like this. You should get up too.
Don't keep kneeling. "
As he spoke, he winked at Chongjiu. Chongjiu immediately understood and went forward to help Jia Xie to sit on the chair.
Shuijing said again, "Speaking of which
I am really sorry for you. I have paid too little attention to you all these years. I don't know how you have been all these years. "
Jia Xie wiped her tears.
"Your Highness has difficulties, and I understand that in my heart.
So I didn't dare to trouble you all these years.
Naturally, I won't resent you because of this. Later, after that incident, I knew that Master must have resented our Rongguo Mansion as well.
I don't dare to be an eyesore in front of you. Now I can see you again.
I'm already very satisfied. "
These touching words made Shuijing feel even more guilty.
He had been at odds with the Retired Emperor since he was a child.
To be exact, the Retired Emperor did not like him.
Moreover, because of certain matters, there were several conflicts between them. Although he had the upper hand every time, and although he did not think he was wrong, the only thing he regretted was that he was too young at that time. He only knew how to act recklessly and did not know how to be roundabout. Therefore, the conflict between him and the Retired Emperor grew bigger and bigger. When the Great Ancestor and the Great Ancestor both died, the Retired Emperor ascended the throne, and his good days of endless glory and favor would come to an end.
However, he did not take things too hard or even complain. Instead, he thought that a real man could bend and stand tall. If you don't want me here, there will be a place for me. If you think I am an eyesore, I am too lazy to get close to you! Therefore, he waved his sleeves and left the capital.
As for Jia Xie … Although he had a good relationship with him, Jia Xie was the eldest son of the Duke Rongguo. He did not plan to stay in the capital. Of course, he could not take away the future heir of Rongguo Province and leave Rongguo Province without an heir. In addition, even if he did not get involved in political affairs at that time, he was still feared by the Retired Emperor. In order to prevent the people around him from suffering, he could only stay away from them. Although he was not afraid of the Retired Emperor, he did not want to implicate the people around him.
After that incident, in fact, not only Rongguo Province, he resented the four princes and eight dukes. However, Jia Xie was his study companion, so when he began to plan, he deliberately avoided Rongguo Province. However, he did not want to care about the possibly innocent Jia Xie and did not allow anyone to mention this name in front of him. He originally thought that Jia Xie inherited the title of the Duke Rongguo. Even if he did not take care of her, she should have a good life. Now, it seemed that it was not so!
Thinking about it carefully, although Jia Xie had two or three concubines before she got married, many of the children of the noble families were like this. It was not a big deal at all. Since he did not have any problems with women before, why did he become a lecherous ghost now? Especially when it came to visiting brothels. He and Jia Xie had secretly visited brothels when they were young. However, they went too early and the brothels were not open yet. They did not have the nerve to go a second time. Looking at Jia Xie now, the brothels were almost his second home.
Even if Zhang Xianfang's death was a big blow to Jia Xie, it should not be to this extent.
Moreover, what did the people of Chongjiu say about Jia Xie before? It was true that he was a shameless old scoundrel. However, saying that he could not tell whether an antique was real or fake and was treated as a fool … Not only did he lose face, but he also lost face for his grandfather, Jia Yuan. Not to mention Rongguo Province, Jia Xie often went to the palace when he was young. What kind of good things had he not seen? Besides, although he did not have the talent for studying, he had a good eye for antiques. How could he be deceived by a shopkeeper who sold fake antiques? No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the shopkeeper did it on purpose.
However, why would Jia Xie deliberately ruin his reputation? This point was worth thinking about …
Shuijing's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Tell me, what kind of grievances have you suffered all these years?"
It had been many years since anyone cared about whether he was wronged or not. Jia Xie's nose twitched again. He said in a muffled voice, "I am the master of Rongguo Province. I am the one who bullies others. Who would make me suffer?"
Shuijing touched the jade ring on his thumb and said, "Think carefully before you speak. You are not the Jia Xie of those years, and I am not the master of those years. I may not be able to do other things, but helping you is not a problem. "
Jia Xie was moved when he heard this. He thought that Shuijing was too modest. He could even do such a big thing as rebellion. In the end, he succeeded in driving the Retired Emperor off the throne. What else could he not do?
After being moved, he became excited again. Shuijing was finally willing to see him and help him. Didn't that mean that his years of enduring humiliation finally paid off? It seemed that the saying in the opera, "When Heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a great man, it must first torture his will." He could finally hold his head high.
Jia Xie did not speak for a long time. Shuijing thought that he was too embarrassed to speak. After all, how could a man who was almost 40 years old complain like a child? Shuijing felt that he had overestimated Jia Xie's thick skin.
He was not the only one who thought so. Chongjiu asked tentatively, "Master, I know a thing or two about the Lord Jia's grievances. Why don't I tell you about it first?"
"You know about it too?" Shuijing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Chongjiu smiled and said, "This is not a secret in the capital."
Shuijing's expression changed. He nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Chongjiu cleared his throat and said, "Master, you may not know. Although the Lord Jia is the head of the family in Rongguo Province, he does not live in the Glory Hall, which symbolizes the head of the family. Instead, the Lord Jia's younger brother, Jia Zheng, lives there. The place where the Lord Jia lives … "He looked at Jia Xie sympathetically." It is separated from the Rongguo Province's garden and is separated from the rest of Rongguo Province by a wall. The worst part is that the courtyard is very close to the horse porch. Therefore, there is a strange smell in the air all year round. People in the capital secretly call the Lord Jia 'General Ma'. "
"Not only that, as far as I know, the servants in Rongguo Province and the people who have good relations with the Jia Mansion all regard Jia Zheng as the master of Rongguo Province. For example, the servants usually call Jia Zheng 'Master' and the Lord Jia 'Great Master'. Another example is the communication between aristocratic families. Invitations or gifts are usually sent to the second branch of Rongguo Province. Jia Zheng also usually holds banquets in the Glory Hall in the name of Rongguo Province. "
Shuijing didn't feel good after hearing this. This was simply throwing Jia Xie's dignity and face to the ground and trampling on it. As the master of Rongguo Province, she was ignored to this extent … She didn't know how Jia Xie had lived all these years.
Chongjiu continued, "Everyone in the capital knows that the second master of Rongguo Province, Jia Zheng, loved reading since childhood and was upright and upright. It is said that he originally wanted to take the imperial examinations, but because his father, Duke Rongguo, couldn't bear to see him suffer, he took the initiative to ask for an additional position before his death. Because he worked hard, he was promoted to the position of Minister Counsellor. On the other hand, the Lord Jia doesn't do proper work. He loves leisure and hates work. He spends all his time looking for women. There are also their children. Jia Zheng's eldest son, Jia Zhu, entered the Imperial College at the age of 14. Unfortunately, he died before the age of 20. Otherwise, he would have been a Minister Counsellor. On the first day of the New Year, the eldest daughter was said to be extremely noble. The youngest son was even more strange. As soon as he was born, he held a colorful crystal jade in his mouth. He probably had a great fortune. On the Lord Jia's side, the eldest son doesn't do proper work. He works as the steward of the second branch every day. His only daughter has the nickname of "Blockhead". No matter how I look at it, following the second branch of Rongguo Province is more promising than following the first branch. "
Zhen Feng's face bloomed with a smile. She looked several years younger. "This is all thanks to you. Yinglian, this is Jin Mama. Thanks to her, mother can come to Jinling safely. It's all thanks to her that we can be reunited. "
Zhen Yinglian heard this and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed to Jinniang and said, "Thank you for taking care of my mother. Yinglian can't thank you enough."
"No, no, no." Jinniang hurriedly pulled her up. "Your mother helped me first. It's just a small matter."
"Mama, you can't say that." Zhen Yinglian smiled shyly and said, "If it weren't for you, mother wouldn't have come to Jinling so quickly. If you were a few days later, I don't know where Yinglian would be. A good deed that Nanny casually does is already a great kindness to me and my mother. "
"Look at this child's sweet mouth. It's like she has eaten honey. She will have a great fortune in the future. " Jinniang praised with a smile. "Now that Yinglian has been found, sister's wish has been fulfilled. When we find Yinglian's father, sister's family will be reunited. That will be perfect."
"How can it be so easy?" Zhen Feng frowned and smiled bitterly. "I'm already very satisfied to find Yinglian. I don't dare to ask for anything else."
Zhen Yinglian's face immediately tensed up when she heard that it was about her father.
Jinniang felt that it was inappropriate for a child to overhear this topic, so he sent the Yinglian to find some maids to eat snacks. After she left, he carefully asked, "I heard from sister that Yinglian's father left with a crippled Taoist priest. At that time, I felt strange. If her father wanted to abandon the secular world, why didn't he find a proper temple or Taoist temple to become a monk? Why did he leave with an unknown crippled Taoist priest? Could it be … that they had some kind of relationship? "
Zhen Feng was silent for a long time. Then she sighed deeply. "I only said it because of sister. If it were someone else, I wouldn't say a word. When Yinglian was three years old, her father took her to the front of the street to watch the fun. Unexpectedly, they met a monk and a crippled Taoist priest on the way. When the Taoist priest saw the Yinglian, he suddenly burst into tears. He said to her father, 'Why are you holding this unlucky thing in your arms? Give her to me! 'Her father thought that the Taoist priest was either a madman or a kidnapper, so he hurriedly took the Yinglian back home. Then the monk pointed at her father and laughed. He said, 'The spoiled Yinglian laughed at you for being an idiot. After the Lantern Festival, the smoke and fire will be extinguished. '"
"… After the Lantern Festival, the smoke and fire will be extinguished …" Shuijing repeated several times. Then she looked at Jinniang. "At that time, the monk only said these four sentences?"
Jinniang nodded. "Zhen Shiyin was very concerned about this matter. He kept talking about it at home. Zhen Feng also kept these words in mind."
"Zhen Yinglian went missing on the Lantern Festival two years later, and then the Zhen family was set on fire. Could it be related to these words?"
"I asked around and got some truth from Madam Zhen Feng. After this incident, Zhen Shiyin became much colder to the Yinglian. He no longer cared about her as much as before. He also took precautions against fire in the house, afraid that it would cause a fire. Unexpectedly, the Gourd Temple next door caught fire first, causing the Zhen family to suffer. "
