Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion.

Ning'an Hall.

Youshi, who suddenly lost her husband and became a new widow, eventually fell ill.

Lying on the hospital bed, I haven't been close to water or rice for a day.

Jia Zhen's sudden death was indeed cruel to You.

She was just a girl from a poor family, but she was able to marry Jia Zhen as her second wife, becoming the royal wife and the mistress of the Duke's palace.

No matter how much Jia Zhen behaves and how she doesn't give her face, for You, Jia Zhen is still the person who changed her destiny.

As long as Jia Zhen is here, she will have no less honor.

But now that Jia Zhen died suddenly, no matter who is next to inherit the title, Jia Rong or someone else, no one will take her as an old lady from a humble background and have nothing to do in her life.

The old lady of Xifu can enjoy all the wealth and honor because she gave birth to two sons and one daughter for the Jia family. The inheritor of the title is her biological child, and she is also the eldest daughter of the Baolinghou Shi family. How noble!

Mrs. You and Mrs. Shi are completely different things. Once the new heir is decided, not even Jia Rong will be filial to her.

Not to mention Jia Rong, don’t you see, even Xiao Xichun has never treated her like a serious sister-in-law...

One can only imagine what her life will be like in the future.

It is most likely that he spent his whole life in a small Buddhist monastery accompanying the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern.

How cruel this is to You, who is only 25 years old!

Her mother died early and her father is dead. Although Mrs. You is here now, she is her father's second wife. She remarried with her two daughters and is not even remotely related to the You family.

He has no children, not even any brothers.

Isn't a lonely person in the world a lonely ghost?

Under such circumstances, how could Youshi, who had been suffering for several days, still bear it and fell ill in bed?

"Madam, please use some porridge..."

As the daughter-in-law of Qin, her mother-in-law fell ill, so she had to fulfill her filial piety in front of the sickbed.

Holding a bowl of porridge, Youyou weakly persuaded.

As soon as Youshi heard this voice, she felt her brain hurt. She was so angry that she clenched her hands tightly, fearing that she couldn't help but grab Hua's face.

Bitch!

Shameless bitch!

If it hadn't been for her, how could such a disaster have happened in the house?

However, now that the whole house is full of clan members, I really don’t dare to mess with it.

But if she didn't say this, Youshi was afraid that she would faint to death before she died of illness.

Therefore, every day, Mrs. Qin was either sent to scrub Jia Rong in person and carry out feces and urine, or she was asked to stand in front of her and behave herself day and night.

In just a few days, Ms. Qin lost a lot of weight, but her legs and feet were horribly swollen.

However, even so, Mrs. Qin never said a word of suffering. Except for her extremely haggard face and those touching eyes, the misery and sorrow became darker and deeper day by day...

She seemed to be using this method to atone for her sins.

But I don’t know how long I can hold on...

"Madam, please use some porridge..."

"Snapped!!"

…

Yanyuan Yamen, Dongluyuan.

lobby.

When Jia Qiang came in, Jia Lian hurriedly stood up with two other young people of similar age to him.

However, when he saw that Jia Qiang was the only one entering, Jia Lian's face immediately became grim, and the faces of the other two Yamen disciples also became gloomy.

The two of them did not come on their own behalf. One of them held the name card of the Admiral of Jiangnan, and the other held the name card of the Governor of Jiangsu.

Except for the governors of Liangjiang, these two people represent the highest civil and military officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

But even so, Lin Ruhai didn't even show his face, and only sent a boy to meet him!

That’s not true!

"Brother Qiang, where is my uncle? What are you doing out here?"

Jia Lian was indeed different again. He was raped several times by Jia Qiang on the boat, and was seduced by barbecue, and he became friendly for a while.

Now that he has changed the place, he is immersed in the colorful world of Jiangnan, and is being complimented in all kinds of ways all day long. It is no longer possible for him to be like he was when he was trapped on the boat.

This is in line with the nature of the children of the aristocratic family to adapt to the changing circumstances...

After Jia Qiang glanced at him indifferently, she cupped her hands and said to the two foreigners: "My master has just recovered from a serious illness. The imperial doctor who came here on the emperor's order has given medical advice and cannot see outsiders for the time being. I hope you will forgive me."

These two people were Liu Qi, the son of Liu Xiang, the governor of Jiangnan, and Zhao Yang, the son of Zhao Dong, the governor of Jiangsu.

In the Jiangnan area, almost all of them are proud young men who can travel freely.

No matter where you go, you will be treated as a distinguished guest and treated with courtesy.

Have you ever experienced such slights?

Liu Xiang could tolerate it for the time being because Jia Qiang was a member of the Jia family, but Zhao Yang became furious and said in a deep voice: "When the governor of Liangjiang arrives, he will be able to see him. But when I come, I won't be able to see him? The imperial doctor in Beijing, Could it be that we are also looking at the dishes?"

Jia Qiang frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Ban Shan is here on an order. Even though he is sick, he must obey the emperor's orders. I wonder what important matter you have? If you are also here on an order, I will go in immediately to attend. "

"you……"

As Zhao Yang hesitated, he became even more angry.

During these years, his father had been patrolling the south of the Yangtze River. Except for the Zhen family, no one anywhere he visited dared to talk to him like this.

Now a boy who is younger than him dares to be so rude.

Zhao Yang said in a deep voice: "Whether there is a purpose or not, it's not something you can understand in your white body."

Having said that, she stopped looking at Jia Qiang and chose to ignore him. She turned to look directly at Jia Lian and said: "Brother Ziming, although your family is a prosperous family with heirlooms in poetry and etiquette, it seems that not everyone knows the word etiquette. .”

Hearing this, Jia Lian frowned and looked at Jia Qiang, shouting: "Why don't you go and invite your uncle to come? Brother Yuan Zhong and Brother Jing Zhao are here on the orders of Admiral Liu and Governor Zhao. What are you doing here?"

Jia Qiang looked at Jia Lian coldly and said: "Your great-grandfather became a duke from Lord Dragon, and your grandfather also became a duke for his great martial arts. Although your father is not like our ancestors, he is also a first-class general. In your generation, you have even forgotten how your ancestors inherited the family. Have you become the family of Shili? When will the clan of the great masters in the capital be able to make friends with other provinces and join the frontiers? If you want to commit suicide, find one yourself. You can die wherever you want, but don't take him to Yanyuan Yamen."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yang who was staring at him dumbfounded, and sneered: "In front of the Supreme Emperor, I still have the status to speak. You are so majestic. I am used to using the style of the governor. Come to my Yanyuan Yamen." Go wild? Go home and ask your dad if he dares to be so wild!"

It's not that he is crazy, it's just that when he came, he already knew that Zhao Yang's father, Zhao Dong, was the backbone of Jingchu's courtiers and the son and daughter of Luo Rong, the military minister.

However, the Zhao family also has a close relationship with the Jia clan in Jinling.

Since the second Duke Ningrong, the Jia clan has been divided into twenty houses, eight in Beijing and twelve in their hometown in Jinling.

Through the third master of Admiral Liu's family, Jia Lian went to Jinling to swim on the Qinhuai River, where he met Liu Xiang, the official of the Liu family, and then met Zhao Yang.

Nowadays, the Liu family and the Zhao family are not going well, so they want to pay a visit to Lin Ruhai through Jia Lian.

Han Bin was the governor-general of Liangjiang. As the highest official in charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces, when he saw that the Liu family and the Zhao family were displeased, they started to fight, which naturally made the two families very sad.

After Han Bin arrived in Jiangnan, he rushed to Yangzhou that night to see Lin Ruhai, and he continued to entrust Lin Ruhai with a top-notch job in salt administration. This was not a secret.

Lin Ruhai has such great dignity in front of Han Bin. If he can say a few words to Han Bin for the two families, the Liu family and the Zhao family can also breathe a sigh of relief...

But he never thought that as the heir of Jia Lian Rongguo, he would not be able to speak at the Yanyuan Yamen, or even go directly to see Lin Ruhai.

Liu Xiang, who had been silent until now, tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "This brother, I think he is a talented person who was given the title of "good minister" by the Supreme Emperor. My father, Liu Xiang, was the governor of Jiangnan, and was an old member of the Xianrong Kingdom.

A serious family of family friends. When I came here with Brother Zhao today, I also learned that Lin Yanyuan was unwell, and on the orders of my father and Governor Zhao, I came to visit. Brother Zhao, please don’t be offended!"

Although it is a government office, the government office in the prosperous place south of the Yangtze River in peacetime is not as good as the Hua'an and others in the Huai'an Marquis' Mansion in Beijing. They are no different from Jia Lian and others, they are just a group of people who enjoy happiness and use.

And since Han Bin can't stand it, it's anyone's guess whether the Liu family and the Zhao family can survive the rest of their lives.

Lin Ruhai had made his attitude clear by choosing not to see him.

In this case, there is no point in reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.

When it comes to the struggle between the old and the new politics, whoever thinks about these false etiquettes is looking for death!

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang said calmly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. As I said before, my master has just recovered from a serious illness and cannot see outsiders. If you two had sent greetings in advance, you wouldn't have gone all the way in vain."

He came to the door on his own without handing over a greeting card. Speaking of which, he was a bad visitor.

The two of them also wanted to follow Jia Lian and visit him as a courtesy to the younger generation.

Who would have known that this face would be stepped on by Jia Qiang and rubbed back and forth several times.

Neither of them was a dignified person. At this point, they had no shame to stay any longer. They snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

Jia Lian was so anxious that he shouted at Jia Qiang: "Brother Qiang, do you know what you are doing?"

For the prince's children in peacetime, the biggest requirement of the family is not to practice martial arts and archery or to achieve military exploits, but to learn how to communicate with each other and learn etiquette.

In this way, we can connect and safeguard all forces and keep the lintel intact.
