The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 500 Ungrateful Jia Yucun

On the day Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan left, news spread from the official circles of the imperial capital.

Yin Xiutonggui of Shuntian Mansion was dismissed, and Jia Hua took over as Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

Jia Hua, courtesy name Shifei, nicknamed Yucun, is known as Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun's promotion to the governor of Shuntian Mansion made some people who thought that the Jia Mansion had begun to lose their minds to understand.

Because Jia's mansion is the benefactor of Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun often visits Jia's mansion.

Jia Yucun's promotion in his official career was almost entirely due to the strength of the Jia family.

If the Jia Mansion really fell out of favor, how could Jia Yucun be promoted?

When Jia Lian was also in confusion, Princess Yongning came to Yuyintang to look for him.

"Jia Lian, where did you hide Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan, hand them over quickly."

Jia Lian had expected this day a long time ago, so he didn't panic.

"What does the princess mean by this? The two of them haven't been with me for a long time, aren't they singing at your house?"

"Where is my house? I haven't been there for three days."

"Three days? The two of them came here three days ago, and the three of us were still drinking at Xianyuan Restaurant, and they said they were singing at your house."

"Are they really not in your mansion?"

"It's true that they're not there, why should they go to the mansion? Why don't the princess go in and have a look?"

"Forget it, you don't dare to hide it. If you have any news about them, please report to me immediately."

"The princess has something to say, and he will follow it."

"Is your Jia Lao Si at home? Tell him to come out and see me."

"Fourth brother Min has been away for several years and has never returned."

"Do you know where he is?"

"I'm doing business with Bu Kui."

"Hmph, it deserves it. Who told him to come up with the Best Prodigal Award? Now that his fame and job are being demoted to the people, it's most appropriate for him to give this Best Prodigal Award to himself."

After Yongning finished speaking, he left angrily.

After returning to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, he went straight to the main hall.I saw a man talking to his father.It turned out to be the newly appointed Yin Jia Yucun of Shuntian Prefecture.

The owner of Yongning County knew that Jia Yucun had already taken refuge in his family, so he didn't shy away from speaking.

"Father, I went to Yuyin Hall. That Jia Lian said that the two of them were not in Jia's house. They went there three days ago and had a drink with Jia Lian. After that, I never saw the two of them again."

"Since that's the case, where did the two go?"

"I don't care, anyway, I want you to get them back."

"Okay, okay, go down first, and wait for me to search slowly."

"I won't go down, I'll just wait here for you to track them down."

Seeing that Princess Yongning did not leave, Prince Zhongshun asked Jia Yucun.

"How does Shi Fei feel about this matter?"

"I think Jia Lian is telling the truth. However, since the two of them are in the imperial capital, they also have close contacts with Jia's mansion. The officials thought that they might as well spy on Jia's mansion secretly. If the two of them arrive at Jia's mansion, they will be taken down."

"How about after taking it?"

Prince Zhongshun looked at Jia Yucun with a smile.

"Since these two people are from your house, they should be returned to their original owners."

"Well, Shi Fei, yes. Where's the girl named Miaoyu?"

"It is being investigated, and there is no evidence or progress yet."

"This matter is an errand assigned by the crown prince. Please do it with your heart. I heard that Miaoyu girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she is as beautiful as a flower. Hehehe, what should you investigate and deal with? How should I deal with it?"

"Naturally leave it to the prince."

"Well, not bad. Go down and do your business."

"Farewell sir."

Princess Yongning became angry when Jia Yucun went out.

"Father, you clearly know that Jia Yucun is a member of the Jia family, and the Jia family has supported him, so why did you ask him to investigate the affairs of the Jia family? Isn't this intentionally leaking information to make the Jia family take precautions? Are you not afraid of his favoritism?"

"Hehe, Yongning, do you know the origin of this Jia Yu Village?"

"I do know something."

"Tell me."

"He was originally a man in the middle of nowhere. Later, with the support of others, he became a Jinshi. He became a county magistrate and was impeached by his superiors. Later, he went to Suzhou to inspect salt and censor Lin Ruhai as a private school teacher. Under Lin Ruhai's recommendation, he came to the Jia Mansion, with the help of Jia Mansion, come back to Ying Tian Mansion..."

"Tell me, does the Jia Mansion treat Jia Yucun as much as a mountain? Can Jia Yucun repay the kindness of the Jia Manor in this lifetime?"

"Of course it can't be reported. The father knew this and told him to go to Cha Jia's mansion."

"It is precisely because of this that I asked him to investigate."

"Father, you mean Sheng Mien and Dou Michou?"

"That's it. That Jia Yucun is a proud and talented person. Such a person has to rely on the support of the Jia family's trash to make his career successful. Tell me, can he not be angry?"

"This, isn't it ungrateful?"

"By the way, it's ungrateful. Only by watching Jia's mansion fall and trample Jia's mansion under his feet, can he get rid of the bad breath in his heart and stand upright in his life."

"Father, isn't this a bit too scary?"

"Terrible? How do you think these people are officials? If they are not cruel, who can be an official for a long time?"

"It's just one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up."

"Yes, it's walking up by stepping on other people's corpses."

"Father, now I understand why that nasty Jia Laosi can't be an official."

"why?"

"Because he wants to be a good official. No one else said anything, and he was the only one who opposed the war. Don't you think he is a fool?"

"Yongning is smart, but he is a fool."

"This... forget it, I'm leaving."

Yong Ning seemed to want to say something, but finally didn't say it, and left silently.

After coming out of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Jia Yucun went straight home.He changed his official uniform and entered the inner room.

Mrs. Jiao Xing is looking at something, it seems to be a gift from someone.

Since he took office as Governor of Shuntian, people have brought gifts to his family almost every day.He is already used to this.

"Who sent this?"

Jia Yucun asked casually.

"This is a noble family."

Jiao Xing said a little complacently.

The gift from the family did make her very proud.In the past, my own family gave gifts to others first.

"Noble person? I have no noble person in my life."

Jia Yucun said coldly.

"Why is there no nobleman? Isn't the Jia family a nobleman from our family? This is sent by Lian Erye."

"Which Second Lord Lian?"

"It's the Second Master Lian of Rongguo Mansion."

"Is he also worthy of being called a master?"

"Why don't you deserve it? Isn't that what we used to call it?"

Jiao Xing was a little dazed, this change was too big, she couldn't adapt to it for a while.

"Don't call me that in the future. Also, return the things."

"Master, it's not good, they are kind to us, wouldn't this hurt our peace?"

"A woman's opinion, what do you know?"

Jia Yucun shouted.

Seeing the master like this, Jiao Xing felt a little wronged and shed tears.

Jia Yucun's heart softened, and he let out a long sigh.

"Let me tell you the truth, now the Jia family has committed a crime, and the court is investigating his family. This time, his family is finished."

"Who is on business? The master is now the Governor of Shuntian, why don't you go and accommodate him."

"Who is on business? Huh, it's me on business."

"The imperial court clearly knows that the Jia family supports the master, so why does it ask the master to handle this errand? Isn't this deliberately embarrassing the master?"

"It's because the Jia family has supported me that they asked me to do it. This is to test me, to see which side I stand on?"

"Which side is the master on?"

"Which side do you think I stand on, can I still be buried with Jia's family?"

"Since this is the case, the master will be merciful, pick some light ones, and deal with them indiscriminately to deal with errands."

"To deal with errands, think simple, where can there be such a cheap thing. I have been waiting for this day for so many years?"

Jiao Xing looked at Jia Yucun, as if she didn't recognize him.

After hesitating several times in my heart, I finally said it.

"Master, we can't repay kindness with revenge."

"Hmph, where is kindness repaying revenge? Those wastes in his family are just relying on the shadow of their ancestors, so how can they have any right to show kindness to me?"

"Except for the decline of my family in the early years, what am I inferior to them? I have always had great ambitions and talents. Even if I am poor for a while, sooner or later I will soar to the sky. Without his family, I might have become a bachelor long ago."

After finishing speaking, Jia Yucun flicked his sleeves, went out, and turned back immediately.

"Just keep the things and don't have to send them back. Our family has given them enough over the years, and they should honor us."

"Furthermore, let me tell you, you are not allowed to leak any news to his family, and cut off all contact with his family in the future, and you are not allowed to set foot in his house. Otherwise, I will divorce you, don't say it is unexpected. "

Jiao Xing fell powerlessly to the ground, her heart was in a mess.

She couldn't figure out what was going on, the world seemed to have changed all at once.

She wanted to calm down and sort out her thoughts, but she couldn't.

Things from the past came to mind one by one.

When I was in Zhitong Temple, I was still a servant girl of Master Zhen's family. Although the master was down and out, I saw that he was tall and handsome, reciting poems and selling calligraphy, without losing integrity, and had a big heart.That's why I often speak well of Master Zhen in front of him.

Master Zhen entangled him and helped him rush for the exam, won the Jinshi, and became the county magistrate.Later, he was dismissed from office and came to Jia's mansion under the recommendation of Master Lin in Suzhou.

He came back under the recommendation of the second master of Jia's mansion and made up for Ying Tian's mansion.Since then, he has been supported by the Jia family many times.

In the past, the master himself always said that Jia's kindness to him was as great as a mountain. Why did these kindnesses disappear in a blink of an eye?
If there is no Jia Mansion, can we have today?Since you are so capable, why are you still desperate?Why do we still need to receive the grace of others?

Since no one is ungrateful to him, if I followed him when he was down and down, wouldn't I also have no graciousness at all.

Jiao Xing didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Looking at the gift from Jia's family, Jiao Xing is in a dilemma.

In these years, they have sent some gifts to the Jia family.They are just seasonal specialties, so where can there be any valuable things?

On the contrary, Jia's return gift always had some valuables, so I still earned it myself.

Now if this gift is returned to someone, it will hurt people's feelings.If you don't retreat, and don't do things for others, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
I couldn't figure it out, so I cried again.
