Chapter 194 Pampering

On the second day, it was still a day of dojo.

On the third day, everything was ready, that is, the coffin was lowered, the soil was sealed, and the monument was erected.

The whole family and friends were busy until noon, finally completing all the funeral rites.

After returning to the temple and receiving the thank-you banquet, Jia She’s funeral was finally over.

After all the relatives and friends had dispersed, Jia Lian and others also began to prepare carriages, horses and sedans to escort Jia Mu back to the city.

While he was explaining to the housekeeper, the Zhou Rui family came to summon him: "Second Master Lian, the old lady wants to send you in the inner hall."

"What? What happened?”

“Yes...the master is here, it’s about Mr. Bao Er’s business...”

After hearing this, Jia Lian had a guess, so he went with Zhou Rui’s family Come to the inner hall.

It is said to be the inner hall, but it is just a guest clean room in the main hall of Shuiyue Temple. It was specially arranged by Jingxu in the past to receive nobles. After Jia Mu came, it became her old man's private room. Temporary place to stay.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that it was full of people. Sisters such as Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang Xing, Jia Zheng, and Li Wan were all there. Even Aunt Xue and her daughter appeared quietly here.

Among them, Jia’s mother looked angry, and Jia Baoyu clung to his arms aggrievedly, like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.

Underneath, Jia Zheng, who was dressed in regular clothes, was a little embarrassed and seemed to be standing helplessly. But occasionally his eyes glanced at Jia Baoyu, and he immediately shot out a look of thunder, scaring the second treasure to hurry up. Squeeze tighter into grandma's arms.

"I have seen the old lady, the eldest lady, the master and his wife."

Jia Lian came in and greeted the elders one by one.

Jia’s mother’s face softened a little, and she asked symbolically: “Is everything outside in order?”

“Back to our ancestors, almost all the relatives were sent away. The layout of the scene and the packing of things can’t be completed for a while, Feng Yatou is making arrangements outside.

But the old lady’s car is ready and ready to escort the old lady back to the city at any time.”

Jia Mu said, "Thank you for your hard work," and then stopped talking nonsense and said bluntly: "You are here just in time, Lian'er. Come tell me what happened that day, and let your master listen. Listen, tell me carefully whether Baoyu has really committed any unforgivable sin!"

It turns out that after Qin Bangye found out about Qin Zhong, he was so angry that he almost died in one breath. Didn't come up.

He is a Confucian scholar.The most important thing is etiquette. His son did such a shameless thing during Jia's funeral, which made him embarrassed, so he used crutches to come to his in-law Jia Zhen in person to apologize, and then came to apologize to Jia Lian.

Then this matter reached Jia Zheng’s ears.

Who is Jia Zheng? He had long disliked Jia Baoyu and wanted to teach him a lesson. When I heard that this matter was related to Jia Baoyu, how could I give up? But Jia Zheng was a fastidious person and had no intention of treating Jia Baoyu in the temple. He just scolded him severely and then said, "Be careful. When you get back, let's see if I don't expose you." !" Such extremely terrifying words.

Jia Baoyu was not one to sit still and wait for death. He immediately went to find Jia Mu and did not take the initiative to file a complaint. He just acted as if he was lost and lost. As expected, Jia Mu fell into the trap and immediately asked why... …

When he found out that the culprit was Jia Zheng, he called Jia Zheng in unceremoniously and taught him a lesson.

The so-called tofu with brine is nothing like this.

As for Jia Mu, she had naturally heard about it a long time ago, because Mrs. Wang and others had reported and explained it to her before.

Although she was shocked, after careful questioning, she said that it was a misinformation. The matter of Qin Zhong and others had nothing to do with Jia Baoyu, and she also asked Jia Baoyu personally. He also said that he had no involvement...

A good grandson would not lie, so when Jia Zheng was dissatisfied, he immediately asked Jia Lian to testify in court.

Jia Lian figured out the joints and felt that the trio of grandfather and grandson was funny enough, so he replied: "I don't know what the ancestors are talking about. Brother Bao has always been good, haven't he?" , When did he commit any crime?"

Upon hearing Jia Lian's words, not to mention Jia Baoyu's grateful look, even Mrs. Wang, who had always been nervous, quietly relaxed.

Li Wan, Feng Jieer and others have already given their confessions, and what happened that night indeed has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu. Now that Jia Lian is saying the same thing, Jia Zheng can't get over the facts!

Jia’s mother even sounded a little lighter. She looked at Jia Zheng and snorted, and then continued to ask: "It’s about Xiao Qin’s bastard brother. Didn’t you beat him dozens of times with a stick?" , did you ask Brother Zhen and the others to be sent back to Dongfu to recuperate?

Let me ask you, does what happened that night have anything to do with your brother Bao?"

Jia's mother had heard such terrifying news since she arrived at the family temple last night, which shocked her at the time.

Fortunately, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and others said that they really had nothing to do with Jia Baoyu, so she gave up. Then she scolded Li Wan, saying that they didn't take care of them carefully, and Li Wan didn't dare to argue.

It was all fine, but Jia Zheng jumped out to stir up trouble again! She was very dissatisfied with Jia Zheng. Why would I want to ruin her own son's reputation and future? It must be resolutely suppressed!

"The old lady was joking, what does what happened that night have to do with Brother Bao?

"If he really dared to do such a rebellious thing, he could still stand still. Acting coquettishly with the ancestor here? I'm afraid his butt has been opened long ago.

Or the old lady feels that Brother Bao has made a mistake, and I, the elder brother, don't even have the power to discipline him Did you?”

As soon as Jia Lian said this, Jia’s mother suddenly looked happy.

"Yes, yes! If he really made a mistake, you, as the elder brother, naturally have the right and responsibility to teach him!"

Of course Jia's mother is happy, Jia Lian is so happy Jia Baoyu's words helped clear Jia Baoyu's suspicion, so he looked at Jia Zheng: "What else do you say?"

Jia Zheng was also confused and asked Jia Lian: "Lian'er, are you really like you? As you said, this beast really didn't get involved...didn't do those things?"

"Reply to the master, it is true that he did not.

Although Brother Bao was indeed present that night, no matter what Whether it was the nephew or the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and others who were present at the time, they all saw clearly that Brother Bao was indeed innocent.

Perhaps he just happened to bump into him, but he was unwilling to expose himself because he was concerned about friendship. He's just a brother, that's why there was such a misunderstanding."

Of course, Jia Lian would not throw any dirty water on Jia Baoyu at this time. In fact, by now, those who should believe it have already believed it. , such as Li Wan and Daiyu.

There is no need to let them believe those who should not be believed, such as Jia Mu and others.

Moreover, the more he said this, the more magnanimous he seemed to be and his intention to protect Jia Baoyu, which made Daiyu and others feel more confident!

What surprised Jia Lian was that after Jia Zheng thought for a while, he actually raised his hands and said to Jia Mu: "So, my son is wrong. Please forgive me for your recklessness."

Jia Zheng, how could he believe it so easily? He no longer had doubts?

The reason why Jia Mu did not expel Aunt Xue, Daiyu and others was to defeat Jia Zheng after everyone witnessed it, thereby safeguarding Jia Baoyu's reputation and preventing them from confronting her behind her back in the future. Her sweet grandson pointed.

"Hmph, you have been an official for more than ten years. You didn't even ask me clearly, so you came to threaten my Baoyu, as if he was wronged.

That’s it this time. If you do this again next time, I won’t let you off lightly.”

Jia Zheng in front of Jia MuQian has always been able to relax his figure, and after hearing this, he said to please: "Yes, my son will never do it again."

"Okay, you can go down."

"Yes, son, resign..."

After Jia Zheng left, Jia's mother said to Jia Lian and Mrs. Wang: "Since that brother of the Qin family is a person who has nothing to do, from now on, He is not allowed to come to our house, and he is not allowed to go to our home school again."

"Old ancestor..."

Jia Baoyu opened his mouth to plead for mercy. He has already lost Qin Zhong's trust. If he does what Jia Mu does again, he will not even have a chance to make amends. In other words, he will lose this good brother forever.

“Baoyu!” Jia’s mother’s tone became stern.

"You are not allowed to see him again, and you don't have to let him lead you astray. If you don't obey, next time your master wants to beat you, I won't protect you. ”

Jia Baoyu hesitated and did not dare to say any more.
