The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 15 Lurking
Everything in the world has cause and effect, as the saying goes: some people are happy and some are sad.

Within one day, when he saw Jia Jing again, Jia Dai was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, this old boy had changed from a high-spirited scholar to a prisoner. The sparkle in his eyes was no longer there, only A dead gray and white.

Conspiracy is a serious crime in any dynasty!

Jia Jing couldn't see any hope in his official career, and he had lost all his energy and spirit. At this moment, he was like a walking corpse. He was not aware of Jia Dai's arrival at all. He was still huddled in the corner with empty eyes, waiting for the reaper of death.

"Second uncle, don't worry. It's okay. My nephew has taken care of everything. We can go home!"

"Jiao Dagang received news from the house that my grandfather is critically ill and cannot let you go. Before leaving, I want to see you and tell you something..."

Jia Dai looked at him coldly. He couldn't feel any sympathy for the man in front of him who had no fighting spirit. If Jiao Da hadn't come to deliver a message, Jia Dai would really not want to go with Jia Jing.

In the original work, Jia Jing gave up on himself after the failed rebellion of the deposed prince. On the one hand, he enjoyed the wealth of Ningguo Mansion with peace of mind and squandered it. On the other hand, he was afraid of being held accountable by the court, so he hid in Xuanzhen Temple to seek Taoism and immortality in order to achieve transcendence.

Father!

Alas, the old man finally couldn't hold on any longer.

It's your son's unfilial piety that makes you disappointed...

Jia Jing thought that he was young and ignorant, thinking that passing the Jinshi examination would be a big deal, and disdained to associate with vulgar warriors. Even if he was separated from the protection of Ningguo Mansion, he could achieve a great career.

Now, Jia Jing has been away in anger for six years. Not only has he accomplished nothing, but he also asked his old father to give up everything to rescue him. He feels very uncomfortable, just like Xiang Yu, who has no face to see Jiangdong's elders!
Jia Jing has studied Confucian classics since he was a child and is familiar with history. He believes that there are only aristocratic families with a thousand years of history in the world, but there are no noble families with a century of honour.

He is the first child of the Jia family in Jinling to pass the Jinshi examination. The glory of the whole family, but at this moment, everything has come to nothing, all because of the treacherous son in front of him, who commits crimes below and refuses to listen to others!

If I were to lead the army, Taikang's children would have been killed long ago, and the country would be transformed into a new world. I would be a loyal minister beside the new emperor!
It is impossible to say that Jia Jing does not hate Jia Dai. He should have beaten this son to death in the first place. He should not be soft-hearted and listen to Xue's words and adopt the eldest brother's lineage!
It's too late to regret now, what can I do!
Jia Dai waved his hand, and his own soldiers stepped forward and untied the rope that bound Jia Jing.

"Father... How is father's health? Have you asked the imperial doctor to check on him? What medicine should he take now?"

"It's because the son is unfilial, doesn't know people well, goes astray, and makes his old man worried..."

After getting out of trouble, Jia Jing did not struggle. There was nothing in the world that he could miss, except his old father who was seriously ill in bed. "grandfather?"

"If the second uncle still has his grandfather and the Jia family in his heart, he should not have collaborated with that person (the deposed prince) to do such disasters."

"In order to save you, my family's official position (Jidu Envoy of Beijing Camp) was lost, and my second uncle from Xifu died violently,"

"My Jia family failed to celebrate, and what was red turned white, and turned around and became the common joke of the people in Shenjing..."

While Jia Dai was scolding Jia Jing, he blamed all the recent disasters in the clan on him.

In the dead of night, Jia Dai also deduced that Jia Daishan was so angry that Jia Daihua was forced to make a deal with the Wang family. It seemed that the secret letter he wrote was the fault.

However, Jia Dai will not admit it!
He is right!
He is the hope for the rise of the Jia family, and he cannot be messed with if he makes any mistakes!
Jia Jing and Jia She are the best scapegoats. If you don’t use them, they won’t be used in vain!
Jia Jing only lowered his head and murmured in response to Jia Dai's accusation, falling into self-doubt. He did not even refute Jia Dai's words.

"Go and see your grandfather, maybe for the last time..."

After Jia Dai finished speaking, he turned around and left the camp.

Now that the matter has come to this, someone has to take responsibility. The Jia family has already paid too much, so there is no need to involve themselves.

Jia Dai took a deep look at the military tent. Emperor Taikang must have woken up, and Wang Ziteng must have got his wish.

He silently swore in his heart that I would always make a comeback in the future.

The news that Rong Guogong passed away, Jia Daihua was critically ill, and that two big trees in Jia's family collapsed suddenly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shenjing.

As expected, the next day, the Supreme Emperor made the decision and the court issued a favor order, allowing the princes and ministers to visit Jia Daihua and express condolences for Jia Daishan, and also gave Rongguo Mansion many additional gifts and other items...
