The Red Mansions

Chapter 183 The Oolong Incident of Jia She's Dying
After Jia Amnesty was supported by Mrs. Xing to go back to her room to rest, Mother Jia followed with a group of female relatives and stood by the couch.

On the side, Ping'er poked Wang Xifeng's elbow and whispered, "Grandma, what's going on?"

"Hey, look, my father-in-law is going to die, and now he is coming back to life, we all come here and wait for him to lose his temper!" Wang Xifeng replied in a low voice.

Ping'er blinked in surprise, and asked in confusion: "It's fine first, why is this about to die?"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips, and muttered, "It's not easy for a person to die? He died because of angina pectoris, and even Doctor Wang didn't dare to use medicine."

While the two were talking, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen in the front yard were also ordering people to prepare coffins, mourning halls and other things.

The whole Jia Mansion is in a mess.

Those who were building the Xingqin Villa in the back also shouted to stop, after all, people were going to die, so how could they build a yard at this moment?
Not bad these days.

At the same time, Jia Zhen sent Jia Rong to Shuntian Mansion and Zongren Mansion for filing.

Because Jia Amnesty had the rank of general, he had to go through the review of these two departments after his death, and then Jia Lian could be demoted to the rank of nobility.

It was getting darker and darker, and according to the highest standard, the Jia Mansion hung up lanterns inside and out, brightly lit like a festival, illuminating the entire Ningrong Street.

In the room, Mother Jia, who was sitting on a chair, sighed and burst into tears. Mrs. Wang next to her whispered comforting words, but a few rolled their eyes.

After a while, Jia's mother almost fainted from hunger, so she stood up with Yuanyang's support, walked to the bed, looked around, and saw Jia She was fast asleep.

"Haven't you lost your temper yet? How can the backlight last for such a long time?" Mother Jia murmured, her face full of doubts.

Mrs. Wang hesitated and said: "Brother, did you have some grievances, you can't rest in peace, so you can't lose your breath?"

"It's possible!" Jia Mu felt that Mrs. Wang's words were reasonable, she pondered for a moment, and said, "I see, he is waiting for brother Lian to come back and die for him!"

Then, she called Jia Zhen in and asked, "You sent the silver to the county prince's mansion today. Did you say when Brother Lian and Baoyu will come back?"

Jia Zhen clapped her hands and replied: "My lord said, I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half months to do it. Now it's on the cusp of a storm, and it's a serious case of human life. Let it go like this. It's not easy for the court to explain to the people of the world. "

Mother Jia sighed, turned and stepped forward, held Jia Amnesty's hand, and said with tears in her eyes:

"My son, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest in peace. How can you survive for half a month this time around? Hey..."

The atmosphere in the room was indescribably dignified, and it was exceptionally quiet, except for Jia Amnesty's breathing and Jia Mu's chattering voice.

At this time, Jia Zheng came in from the outside and whispered to Jiamu: "Mom, the mourning hall and coffin are all ready, and other things that need to be used are also being rushed to buy."

"Hey, just work hard during this time, and take care of the inside and outside of the house together with Brother Zhen." Mother Jia ordered with a sad face.

Jia Zheng responded, turned around and said to Wang Xifeng, "Sister Feng, how about taking care of the inner house?"

Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After all, it was her father-in-law who was about to die, if she didn't care about anything, people would say she was not filial.

Mrs. Wang who was at the side brought the key and the account book, and handed them to Wang Xifeng, saying:

"As soon as you get it, you arrange it. Don't rush to report to me. We'll talk about it after the matter is over."

Jia Mu was dizzy from hunger, and told her mother-in-law: "Let someone get some cakes to eat and deal with it simply. It's not a problem to be hungry all the time."

As she spoke, she instructed Jia Tanchun, Jia Yingchun, and Jia Xichun: "You guys should go back and rest first, it won't do much to stay here."

After the girls looked at each other, they all got up and bowed to leave.

After a while, the other four kings and eight princes who received the news all sent their wives to visit.

"He's not dead yet? He lasted long enough!" Someone whispered.

"I heard that I just beat my son recently. It's too hostile, and it's not so easy to lose my temper."

"The one who beat him was the concubine. The reason why he didn't lose his temper might be because he was waiting for Jia Lian, the concubine, to come back and die!"

"It's a pity that the first-class general of Jia's mansion will be demoted again."

"..."

Jia Yun's house.

After Jia Yun learned that Jia Amnesty was going to die, she felt puzzled and said:

"It shouldn't be, I have controlled it well, so I won't kill him?"

Seeing that Jia Yun was silent, Xue Baochai asked in a low voice, "Husband, Jia Amnesty is Sister Lin's uncle after all, she should go and have a look."

"Well, I'm going to have a look, I'll arrange it now."

Jia Yun came back to her senses, got up and walked out of the room, and asked Jia Wenlin to find someone to carry the sedan chair to the courtyard.

After the arrangements were made, he found Lin Daiyu and said, "Uncle Xi is going to die. I heard that everything has returned to light. The mourning hall in Jia's Mansion is all set up. You can go and have a look!"

After pondering for a while, he added: "I'll let Meiren accompany you there. She has practiced martial arts, and she can't easily get close to three or five people. She can protect you."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, nodded, and took Meiren, Zijuan, Xueyan and a few nuns to Jia's mansion under the escort of her personal guards.

Under the corridor, Xiren asked doubtfully, "Master Xi is fine, why is he about to die?"

"What you said is that people are really going to die, and they can die at any time." Jia Yun shook her head and smiled.

The Xiren said with a smile, "If the Uncle She is dead, the Second Master Lian will be able to take over the title, and the Second Mistress Lian will also have an imperial order."

Speaking of which, apart from Tanchun and the other three female family members in Jia's mansion, Wang Xifeng has no orders when they are married.

Every time during the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang can go to the palace to attend the banquet, but Wang Xifeng is not qualified to go.

Jia Yun smiled, and pondered: "I always feel that something is not quite right, but I can't tell why!"

"Don't think about it if you don't understand it. It's not worth wasting your brain." Xiren stepped forward and rubbed his temples with his toes.

Jia Yun laughed straight, grabbed her hands, and leaned her back against her, which was soft and comfortable.

"This man is really unpredictable. He just had a quarrel with Jia Amnesty this evening, but he is going to die tonight." Jia Yun looked at the dark starry sky and sighed.

Xiren came from behind him, hugged his waist, leaned his head on his back, and whispered:
"It's good for him to be dead, lest he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong and black and white, and always wants to take advantage of our family."

……

Rongguofu.

When Lin Daiyu came over, Jia's mother was very happy, but she couldn't help crying and exchanging greetings.

After a while, Lin Daiyu got a chance to look at Jia Amnesty, and saw that his face was glowing red and he was sleeping soundly. She turned her head and asked Jia Amnesty:

"Grandmother, uncle looks like this, it doesn't look like he's returning to the light, he's asleep!"

Mother Jia shook her head and sighed, "Girl, you don't understand. Before this person died, he looked more energetic than normal people."

Lin Daiyu half-understood. When her mother died, she was still young and had never seen a person before death, so she was not sure whether Jia She was going to die or fell asleep.

Go back to Mother Jia.

Jiamu took Lin Daiyu's hand, asked questions, and even asked about Lin Ruhai's movements.

Lin Daiyu answered cautiously.

Since she went back to the south of the Yangtze River once, she learned a lot of things. She knew that although the grandmother in front of her was her relative, she was also a smiling Buddha.

Moreover, after she returned to Beijing, she heard that the Jia family had secretly hidden the Zhen family's money, which made her even more sure about it.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Mu with a complicated expression.

On the one hand, Mother Jia did have the kindness of nurturing her.

On the other hand, Mother Jia raised her with a purpose, and her mind was not pure, so this kindness was discounted.

Once people have doubts, they will feel that there are doubts and flaws everywhere.

The so-called knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, although Lin Daiyu talked to Jia Mu as usual, she was on guard in her heart, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Jia Mu's smiling face was chilling.

If it wasn't for Jia She's really going to die right now, Lin Daiyu might not come to Jia's house easily.

Time passed slowly, and the other female relatives of the four kings and eight princes left one after another. Jia She was not discouraged at this moment, and they couldn't wait any longer.

Next, Mother Jia sat and waited with all the female relatives, fearing that Jia She would lose her temper and there would be no one around.

Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Cong, Jia Qiang and others were also waiting outside, as long as there was any movement in the room, they would start to get busy.

People inside and outside the house stayed on until midnight, exhausted and yawning profusely.

If they were allowed to eat, drink and have fun, they would be very energetic, but just sitting like this, just sitting for a while, is torture, let alone waiting for such a long time.

On the other hand, Jia She, who was sleeping on the bed, woke up in the middle of the night, feeling refreshed, and when he got up, he saw a room full of people.

"Mother, who are you?" Jia She asked in surprise.

Mother Jia who was dozing off woke up, her heart skipped a beat, she stood up, took Jia She's hand, and said in mourning, "She... woo woo..."

The other female relatives also came to their senses, thinking that Jia Amnesty was about to die, whether it was true or not, they all burst into tears.

Jia Zheng and the others outside took a deep breath when they heard the crying in the room.

Jia Zheng said: "Let's also go in to see Eldest Brother for the last time. Besides, Brother Rong will go outside and order to bring in the prepared shroud and other things. Hey..."

As he spoke, he sighed a long sigh, and walked into the room.

When he got to the room, he saw Jia Amnesty was still sitting with his eyes in a daze, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he could finally see his eldest brother for the last time.

So he hurried forward, sighed and talked to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty was wondering about so many people in the room, Jiamu was holding him and weeping, and the other female relatives followed suit, so he was in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

At this moment, Jia Zheng came forward to talk to him again, but just listening to him, Jia Amnesty sensed that something was wrong.

"Back to the light? Can't! I'm not a flashback? I just drank a little wine in the afternoon, my head was a little dizzy, and the angina was a bit tormenting, so I fell asleep." Jia She explained loudly.

But he is like this, in Jiamu's understanding, he is unwilling to die.

So she comforted her and said: "Xie'er, mother knows that you are waiting for Brother Lian to come back, but it will be half a month before he comes back, so don't wait, listen to mother, go on the road earlier, I will order someone to give you more money." You prepare some paper money."

Jia Amnesty was speechless, his hair was black, he broke free from Jia Zheng's hands, jumped off the bed, and said loudly:

"Look, mother, I'm alive and kicking, I'm really not about to die..."
