The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter 139

Even though the Jia Shi family in the mansion scolded Jia She for being unfilial, Jia Daishan did not write a letter to ask Jia She to return to Beijing. It was obvious that there would be chaos in Beijing, so why would he call back his son who had already left at this moment?Ignoring Jia Shishi's complaints, Jia Daishan did not tell the truth.A series of secret orders were sent out from the Rongguo Mansion one after another. Because it was related to the life and death of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan even received Lao Mu, who had a leg attack and went home to recuperate, and had been with him for many years.

Jia She, who was a guest at Lin's house in Gusu, knew that Uncle Mu had been taken into the Rongguo Mansion within a few days. He felt that something was wrong, and was afraid that his father would find out what he had done, which would hurt Uncle Mu. He told his cronies in the mansion to rescue him in an emergency After all, it was him who was wrong, so he went to see Jia Hu who was studying with Lin Ruhai.Feeling in his heart, his guess is indeed correct, and now he has done everything he can do. If Prince Yong is still unable to control the Northwest Army in these few years, then he is not worthy of that seat, although I am sorry for the cronies who have followed the Jia family for so many years , but looking at Jia Zhang who was still so relaxed after the first pregnancy, he gritted his teeth and decided that he lost, at least to keep his wife and children.

Lin Ruhai was originally stunned to see his uncle's family on the way back to his hometown after helping the coffin, but with them accompanying him all the way, whether it was his mother or himself, the sadness in his heart was shifted.Thinking about this morning, he was still telling his father about how sweet Lian'er was, and about the mother who was arguing between Qiong and Qingyu because of a piece of jewelry. In gratitude, Lin Ruhai taught Jia Hu even more severely.

Jia Hu doesn't know why his father did this, but like his mother, he likes to see his father busy with his family. These years, and only these few years, his mother has had a good time.

"Gu Renxi resigned from the drunken town building, Hanshan Temple in the cold wind and the twelfth lunar month..." Just when Jia Amnesty was planning to stay in the Lin family who was still keeping his filial piety in such a cheeky manner, Jia Amnesty suddenly received a note in the evening, and his expression changed drastically.Even if he has no literary talents, such simple poems can still be understood.

Jia She, who was holding the note, gritted his teeth and threw the note away, and then went back to the room angrily, but seeing the smiling faces of the two children Jia Zhang, Lian'er, and Qiong'er, after playing with the children for a while, when they went to rest Jia Sheminmin told Mrs. Zhang with nervous lips that he was going to Hanshan Temple tomorrow to seek peace and happiness.

"Do you want a concubine to accompany you?" Jia Zhang's life has been really fun these past few years. She never dreamed that Jia She would leave everything in Beijing and take herself out for fun. Of course, to brother Lian She is still holding on to the education of her son and sister Qiong. Brother Lian is accompanied by a master and guards, and the four nuns around sister Qiong are very dedicated, so when she first arrived in Gusu and found out that she was pregnant , she is relaxed, she doesn't have to think about the housekeeper, she doesn't have to worry about the children, she doesn't have to worry about someone's schemes, and Jia Amnesty is always with her, she really feels that such a life makes her a little bit sad.Now that she is suddenly pregnant at such an old age, she feels very embarrassed. Fortunately, she is accompanied by her sister-in-law and cared by her mother-in-law.

Jia Amnesty shook his head, looked at the unsightly white hairs on Jia Zhang's head, and explained: "You are not stable now, you should rest well, I will come back as soon as I go, and there will be no delay."

"That's all right! I'll go talk to my mother-in-law tomorrow. To be honest, I really like that girl Qingyu. This child really looks like a person." Jia Zhang said with a smile, if it wasn't for Min The younger sister said that she didn't want her blood to return, and she wanted to ration Qingyu to Lian'er.

Although Jia She also liked his niece, he still said seriously: "Our sister Qiong is not bad, don't always talk about others in front of her? Do you think we should give sister Qiong a baby name as well?" I like people who say that Jia Zheng is better than me, and of course Qiong must be the same.Even if the child is young, she is willing to wait for a few more years. At that time, she will really treat her as her own daughter, and she will never favor Lian'er. It's a pity that my sister-in-law said that, so she can't say much, so she can only let go of this thought.

Jia Zhang couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, knowing that he felt sorry for the girl, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Jia Zhang said calmly, "Mrs.

"What about Mu Chunsichun? Such a name is worthy of my girl?" Jia She was furious when he heard the words, slapped the table and stared and shouted. After shouting, he looked at Jia Zhang in front of him, and then turned away awkwardly. , said softly: "I didn't get angry at you."

Jia Zhang shook her head, indicating that she didn't care, why didn't she understand Jia She's thoughts, she just smiled and said:

"Isn't Sister Qiong a nickname? We are not filial when we come out now. Even if we don't want to use my wife to get the name, we can't take it again. When Sister Qiong grows up in the future, you can choose a nice name for her. gone."

"I see, you should rest quickly! Now that you are heavy, don't worry about these things, I will take care of everything." Jia She nodded indiscriminately, turned his face and touched it casually, then said softly while holding Jia Zhangshi .

Hearing Jia Zhang's soft snoring that night, Jia She stayed up all night and rode to Hanshan Temple early the next morning.

"It's really you? Why did you come here?" Jia Amnesty looked at the dark-skinned young man in front of him, who had grown into a burly figure and his face was covered with wind and frost. He was not surprised by the change in his heart, so he just asked.

Gu Qingyan looked at Jia Amnesty and grinned.In the past, he liked the big brother Jia She very much. This big brother didn't care about his status, and he really knew how to play. He felt that life was very comfortable and comfortable when he was with him.

Jia Amnesty had never seen this gentle guy, when he was so presumptuous, he just stared at him blankly, waiting for him to explain why he came.

"Why did I come here, brother Enhou, you can't think of it?" Gu Qingyan patted Jia Amnesty on the shoulder and said with a smile.The two brothers said they didn't know who it was!Jia Amnesty made such a decision, so he wanted to push him, anyway, it was a big rebellion, why not do it thoroughly?

Jia Amnesty lowered his head and punched him violently.

Everyone in the world knew that Rong Guogong's eldest son was not good at martial arts, but they didn't know that Jia She was actually good at martial arts, and he even practiced boxing well.Although slack, but much stronger than the average person.

Gu Qingyan easily caught Jia Amnesty's fist, and the two of them back and forth until Gu Qingyan stepped Jia Amnesty on the ground.Looking at Jia Amnesty at his feet, Gu Qingyan laughed again and said, "Brother Enhou, are you convinced?"

"Convinced!" Jia Amnesty chuckled without struggling, and laughed at himself: "Naturally I am convinced, who am I, I am just a waste! How can I not be convinced!"

"Brother Enhou is blaming me for calling you out?" Gu Qingyan loosened his feet and helped Jia She up and asked.

Jia Amnesty let out a long breath and said, "I've already given everything I can, and I'm already a sinner of Jia's family. No matter how much, there will be no more, and it's impossible. You shouldn't have come."

"If it's possible, I certainly hope that you, Brother Enhou, will be as you wish. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to make such a choice. When I received the secret report in the northwest that day, I couldn't believe it for a long time. Brother Enhou, you would be so decisive. .Brother Enhou, do you know how much embarrassment you have made me less?" Gu Qingyan helped Jia She to sit aside. When he was young, he would never have thought that he could sleep with someone who hadn't washed yet. Clean feet, even more than one person... He never thought that he could live a life of ruthlessness and blood, never thought that he could kill people directly, and never thought that he could sleep peacefully anywhere... But the world forces people to be like this, and the imperial power He was forced into this, he had no choice.

Jia Amnesty sat on the stone chair, rubbed his face, looked in the direction of the Lin family, and said sarcastically: "Yes! I never thought that I would betray my family one day? But you clearly know me and know me. You, who are worried, still come to force me."

"Yes! I'm here." Gu Qingyan turned his face and said softly: "I understand you, and you understand me. You know why I came. Brother Xi, I need you. Only you can avoid more troubles. die."

"I can't do it!" Jia She lowered his head and murmured. After betraying his father and Jia's family, it has been difficult for him in the past few years. He can't even sleep a full night. He is afraid of dreaming, afraid of dreaming about his grandmother. , Dreaming about the ancestors of the Jia family, afraid that I would become a sinner of the Jia family and destroy all the foundations of the ancestors.

"You have to do it! Brother Xi, the moment you choose again, you know that you have no way out. Why do you only do half of things that obviously have no way out?" Gu Qingyan looked at him and asked.Send out your private print,

How much lighter is the crime compared to the crime of going to battle by yourself?Jia Amnesty's appearance will give the Northwest Army better control.

Jia She clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I know I have no way out, I know, but I can't, my father,

My mother, the high emperor, the crown prince, and Prince Rong, everyone is forcing me, so they are all forcing me, forcing me to give up Mrs. Zhang, to give up the only one in the world who doesn't care whether I become a talent or not. Promising,

Mrs. Zhang, who just stayed with me until I died, my wife, that stupid woman who risked her life to bear children for me, the wife my grandmother calculated for me.My father, whom I respect and admire, drugged her and broke her body,

Still want her life!My mother doesn't like her, hates her!But she knows everything, but she dare not say it, because she is afraid that I will be worried, that my father and son will be separated, and that I will bear the reputation of being unfilial. She wants to live, not for herself, but for me, for my trash, for our children, she wants to live and protect us.Why?It's all because I, Jia She, Jia Enhou, am a waste! "

"There are not many people in this world who really care about me so much. Grandma is one of them. But I guarantee that if the Jia family is alive and dead, if I give up, I can save the Jia family. Grandma will not hesitate, but I know that if you can give up on me,

Jia Zhang, who can live a good life, will never, never give up, she will die with me.There is only such a stupid woman in this world, so stupid that she is very smart, so stupid that I can't see the little calculations behind her, so stupid that she can protect me...but in the end, she can't even take her own life host! "

"Do you think I can not do this? I, Jia Enhou, is a waste. My grandmother said that people like us can live a rich life without making progress. I know her thoughts. I know she wants Jia's family to survive. Grandfather and father Already in a high position and power, the Jia family has reached the extreme, so I can't be promising, I can't make progress, a prosperous life, a foolish life, is my best choice. But I can't live without that stupid woman, I live, and I want her to live , I don’t want her to be frightened, I don’t want her to work hard, I don’t want her to work so hard, I don’t want her hair to turn gray at thirty... I told myself, I can only do this, I’m incompetent, I’m useless, I can’t do anything, I sold the Jia family, put aside the education I received since I was a child, and threw away all the family responsibilities. I completely gave up the teachings of my grandmother and father. I am sorry for the Jia family. But I don’t want to be sorry for her, I want her to live and live well, and I want the children to live well too.”

"So don't force me, don't force me anymore! I can't do it, I can't do it!" Jia Amnesty yelled at Gu Qingyan all his thoughts. He used to be able to pretend to be stupid and escape, but he saw it yesterday. From that note, he knew that he couldn't avoid it, but he really couldn't, he could already do his best.

Gu Qingyan looked at Jia She venting with red eyes, watching him roar, and every sentence pierced his heart straightly, because he understood, he was also educated by the heirs of the family, and he accepted the protection of the family and the country since he was a child. How could he not understand?But no!If some things are to be foolproof, he has to be there, and he is not the only one.

"I know, I know, how could I not know!" Gu Qingyan looked at Jia She, opened his mouth to cry, but tried to swallow the tears, he said: "You Jia Enhou has a family, I don't, they just No?"

"I have known since I was a child that I am the heir to the Rongguo Mansion." Jia She was thinking about Gu Qingyan's words, looked at the sky, sighed, then roughly wiped away his tears, and then sarcastically said: "The emperor bestowed the name of grace, which means that I am In the future titles, all the people who are close to me will focus on my family background, my identity, all flattery, but because I am Jia Enhou, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, and the future head of the family. I thought you Not the same, I thought we were the same kind."

Gu Qingyan stretched out his hand to straighten Jia She's face, looked at him, both of them were in tears, Gu Qingyan said word by word: "You can choose not to come, whether it is the fifth prince or others, I will send your information Erase it, so that you are still the son of Duke Rong, but you are here! Because we are of the same kind, I understand your thoughts."

"Do you know that you are standing here now, and you can still have a beautiful wife and young children, what about me? I can't smile at any woman. I can't underestimate any woman. You asked me why I married Hong I didn’t say anything about the family tablet, I’ll tell you today, I’ll tell you everything.” Gu Qingyan pointed at his face with tears, and cried with trembling fingers: “Because of my face, because of that wicked girl Baoqing My face, because I smiled at the daughter of the Hong family, she died. She was only eight years old when she died. She died of humiliation... But what did the emperor say? What did the concubine Zhen say? Everything No, not even a single apology, just so high and high, as if she deserved her death, just killed a child like that... just killed her, and let the eminent monk curse her with that ghostly technique... And all The bane of my life is my face."

"When I don't know, I can live a good life, but I know, I close my eyes, my mind is full of her, she can't remember her face, she is covered in blood. I am afraid to smile at people, I am afraid to look I accidentally hurt someone again, I was even afraid to look at my own face!"

Gu Qingyan covered his face, let the tears flow down, he choked up and said: "I want to show off my ambitions, I want to show my talents to the fullest, but because I am my father's son, the emperor will not allow me, I want to live in peace , I want to help Prince Yong deal with trivial matters, I have a place to live, that wicked girl Baoqing won't let me. There is no place for me in this world, why don't I fight, don't fight, even if it's death, I don't want to be so useless !"

"Grandpa wanted to be loyal to the emperor, but my father died in vain. My aunt was sent to the palace and died too. But do you know how my aunt died? Do you think that you, Jia Enhou, are the only one who suffers the most in this world? Let me tell you, My aunt was strangled to death by the emperor himself. Their son Jun Zexuan was watching from under the aunt's bed that day, watching his father strangle his mother. It was because my aunt called that person's name. The name of the husband-in-law. The name of the person who was her childhood sweetheart as a hairpin, accidentally said it out, and then my aunt died like this..."

"Is my aunt wrong? Maybe she is wrong, she doesn't wish, she doesn't have Emperor Longchang in her heart, she has that person in her heart, so even if he knows the truth, grandfather can't complain, can't hate, and even indulged the second room's heart, little aunt He was also sent to the palace..."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingyan wiped away tears and snot with his sleeve, looked at the sky, and continued: "The eighth prince is not wronged? Because of the aunt's gesture and the blocking of his eyes that day, he knew to reassure his mother, but he couldn't be found out.

He shed tears of blood at the age of five, and he has fallen in love with red since then, because the blood will blur his eyes, because then he will not see the pain of his mother and concubine... The fifth prince is not wronged?He has to take care of his younger brother who is out of control and on the verge of going crazy, self-mutilating and collapsing, and at the same time he has to bear his father's disapproval!He's still a kid too!How can you not be wronged?Why can't they resist?Everyone is fighting for power, because they want to live, live! "

"Hong Shangshu is not wronged? He and Mrs. Hong are childhood sweetheart cousins. After many years of marriage, there is only one child, and it just disappeared. Mrs. Hong has lost her mind since then. Isn't she wronged?"

Jia Amnesty wiped away his tears, he was a little loose at first, but he woke up after hearing this, looked at Gu Qingyan,

Sarcastically said: "Don't the Hong family have sons and daughters?"

"Hong Gaosheng, come here, come here and show our Master She, and see who you are!" Gu Qingyan shouted, a man dressed as a monk came over, Gu Qingyan pulled him, and pressed his face Jia Amnesty asked, "Do you remember this face? Do you have any impression?"

Jia Amnesty was stunned with his mouth open, how could he not have an impression?Back then, the crown prince accompanied him to read Brother Gao's face, and the face of Brother Gao who said he wanted to keep him rich for the rest of his life just appeared in front of his eyes. "Hong... Goldman Sachs,

Gao... Is Gao Jinbei's brother Gao? "

Gu Qingyan sniffed, took a deep breath and said: "I don't know your elder brother Gao, but his biological father's surname is Gao,

The adoptive father is Hong Shangshu. He and his sister were raised in the mansion by Hong Shangshu in the early years, and they were the children of the Hong family. When they were fifteen or sixteen years old, they became more and more like their biological father, so they were sent to Huguo Temple and became monks. . "

Hong Gaosheng continued: "My sister and I have known our identities since we were young. Our adoptive father is strict and our adoptive mother is kind. Later, the young girl they gave birth to is cute and well-behaved. The adoptive father said that now that the imperial power has been established, if we insist on avenging our father, we will be killed." More innocent people were killed, so my father's last order was not to take revenge or return to the ancestors, I wrote it down, but God will not let us go, the younger sister is so young, so she is gone, the adoptive mother can't afford illness, and people are confused It's over, the Hong family broke up... After the eldest sister got married, I went to the temple, and then the eighth prince came to the temple to clean up, so I followed the eighth prince... and then I went with Gu Da Ge... to continue to pay Jun, I just want to avenge my sister... Now I shaved my hair again, also to avenge my sister! She was only eight years old, and she hadn't seen the beauty in the world, so she died in such humiliation. I want revenge, and I want revenge even if I die! "

Not to avenge his biological father, Hong Gaosheng just wanted to let the poor woman of the Hong family get a little comfort. After Gu Qingyan chose to tell the truth and married his younger sister's tablet, he decided on this matter. The Hong family treated them The brothers and sisters have been reborn, and not only the adoptive mother, but also himself can't stand the result.

Jia Amnesty covered his face, not daring to look at him.He doesn't know anything, he doesn't like to accept favors from others, because he knows that he can't afford it, and Jia Lan treats him well, so he will be Jia Lan's backer at her natal family, give her a generous dowry, and be a good brother.Jia Min was kind to him, and he also went to reciprocate, but... but those memories that he wanted to forget day and night, just filled his mind all at once, the one who held him up with a smile and told him to protect him would have died long ago falling man,

Just like that, he appeared in front of him again with a smiling face.With a scream, Jia Amnesty lay on the ground, covered his head, and wept bitterly.

"Enhou, you are really miserable!" Gu Qingyan sniffed and looked at him, sarcastically said: "Enhou, you may not know,

The mandarin duck next to your mother is pregnant with your child. Should I congratulate you for having at least two children calling you a father in the coming year? "

As soon as Gu Qingyan finished speaking, Jia Amnesty's face turned pale. He originally returned to Beijing because of Hu'er's marriage, but when he went to the mansion to plead guilty to his wife, he was tricked by his wife. Luckily, how could he forget about the mandarin duck? He never dared to tell Mrs. Jia Zhang about this matter. When she returned to Rongguo Mansion, she was run on by Mrs. Wang and punished by his wife. Even the master scolded her coldly once.After that day, he was very angry and almost killed that bitch Yuanyang, seeing him go crazy,

Only then did the wife talk about softening up, and only said that she would sell drugs by filling them.He thought that this was the end of the matter, and counting the time, if she was really pregnant, it would be more than a month older than the child in Jia Zhang's womb.

So as soon as he realized that the situation was wrong and knew that it was unreasonable, he shamelessly followed the Lin family after Lin Hou's death.

He feels guilty towards the Jia family, but he is resentful towards his wife, hating her for calculating him so much... He knows that Jia Zhang doesn't care much about anything, so he dare not say it... He doesn't think Gu Qingyan will lie to him , I just find it extremely ironic, what kind of life does an unloved concubine and concubine have?Just look at Jia Lan before she was four years old.For this upcoming child, he couldn't like it, couldn't care about it...he even hoped that he wouldn't be born.

A child who is not liked by his father, a child who is not expected to exist, can he live well?

Closing his eyes, all his unbearable feelings have been fully exposed. Jia She knows that he has no way out, he has made a choice, then he has to go to the end, must win, must win, can no longer be useless, or, Without rights, he can't protect Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang can't live, and neither can he!

"I'll go with you!" Jia She was silent for a long time, looking at the painful and desperate friend in front of him, looking at the child on the side, that face was similar to the one he had seen when he was young, and that person probably didn't know how much his father was. good boy.He said what he didn't want to say.He has no choice, he can no longer put his destiny in anyone's hands, he has to stand up by himself, he has to protect his own woman and children, he has to protect his own home.

The author has something to say:

The person who wrote Amnesty's dialogue felt uncomfortable, and he actually shed tears. Although the feelings are in place, to be honest, the writing is limited...
