426 Irritability and Helplessness
Ever since Shi Zhongkui learned that Jia's mother was about to die, he had been feeling a little lonely these days.
It wasn't that he regretted not taking action to change Jia Mu's lifespan, but that he lamented that time passed a little too fast, and it had been nearly ten years since he had been reincarnated into this world before he knew it.
Moreover, Jia Mu was the first elder among her relatives and friends to pass away, so her mood was really not getting better.
Although she didn't have much contact with Jia Mu, and the old lady didn't plan on herself less, at the same time, Jia Mu did help him in many things.
I think I both respect and hate this old lady.
Of course, Shi Zhongkui thought he was kind to the Jia family. Although the second house of Rongguo Mansion was separated, their lives were not that good.
But compared to the ending in Dream of Red Mansions, it is countless times better.
Moreover, if Jia Lian and Jia Rong had not received his help, it would be difficult for them to maintain their wealth, let alone inherit Ning Rong's mansion.
Now the two of them are worshiped as third-rank officials, and they are truly the Young Ministers of Taichang Temple.
Although he is not considered an important minister or a powerful minister, he is much stronger than his two fathers, Jia She and Jia Zheng.
Moreover, Jia Lian is much stronger than Jia Baoyu.
The other was worshiped as a fifth-rank official, and was attracted by the Supreme Emperor. He became a general of the Dragon Guard. He didn't have many things to do, but he was still prominent for a while.
Jia Rong was a young man who knew how to do things. A few years ago, Shi Zhongkui said that he would choose a wife for him, so Jia Rong waited with peace of mind for a year or two.
But Shi Zhongkui never took this matter to heart. Jia Rong, who couldn't wait any longer, actually came to Shi's Mansion every two days and tried his best to send some good things to Baochai, Yingchun and Daiyu.
I don't know if Baochai and Daiyu felt sorry for the Spring Festival, because their husband-in-law had forgotten about it, and the three of them didn't want to be gossiped about by their relatives.
With just a hint, many wives from noble families in the capital came to visit with girls of the right age.
Even Shi Zhongkui's wife Yu Shi, after hearing the news, brought a daughter from the branch of the Duke of Tui's Mansion to come and give it a try.
Baochai, Yingchun and Daiyu really did not dare to neglect Master Yu Shi, but let alone Yingchun, even Baochai and Daiyu were not satisfied with the young lady's background.
After Shi Zhongkui found out, he thought that his three daughters-in-law were not from good backgrounds, and even Yingchun was born to a concubine.
If Daiyu's parents were still alive, her family background would definitely be top-notch.
But she was orphaned since childhood, and a serious and wealthy family would not marry her as their first wife.
Although Baochai was said to have a biological brother, his family fell into decline, which was actually the birth of Shang Jia.
In the eyes of ordinary people, she is naturally a noble girl from a wealthy family, but in the eyes of the powerful, if she cannot achieve a high level or a low level, her marriage is destined to be unsatisfactory.
Now the three women, all of whom came from bad backgrounds, actually began to despise the origins of others.
However, Shi Zhongkui would not be so foolish as to express this idea, and if he thought about it carefully, he would not want to make the Duke's palace and his mentor Yu's family too prosperous.
Then the three daughters-in-law were allowed to choose the first daughter-in-law of Ningguo Mansion as Jia Rong's aunt and cousin.
In the end, after much selection, both Baochai and Daiyu chose the daughter of Liu Fang, the first-class son of Duke Li Guo.
Yingchun felt that the girl looked lovely, but there was something heroic about her eyebrows. Moreover, although Yingchun was only a golden elixir practitioner at that time, her eyesight was already extraordinary.
It was easy to tell that the girl must be the daughter of a general who had practiced martial arts since she was a child.
Yingchun was really worried that after Jia Rong married her, her life might not be happy, and she might even be beaten by her daughter-in-law.
But Baochai said, "Although Rong'er has been restrained by her husband in the past two years and has not dared to do ridiculous things, he has not acted recklessly outside. There are not thirty or fifty actors and maids in the mansion, but at least twenty."
Find him a more powerful wife who can also control Ronger.
The most important thing is that in the future, among the heirs of Ningguo Mansion, there might be another child who can lead the army, so Yingchun should pay attention immediately.
But before the two families could start discussing the matter, Shi Zhongkui's first reaction was to object after learning about it.
If he had not returned to Heaven, he would naturally not object to Jia Rong taking over the military power, but the current situation would not necessarily be a good thing for the Jia family to develop again in the military.
Otherwise, if Jia Lian had the opportunity to be transferred to Liubu as a minister in his capacity as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Shi Zhongkui would not keep suppressing him.
Without much hesitation, he asked the housekeeper Yu Shun and the old eunuch Ji Guangxiang to go to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion with a letter.
After King Zhongshun read the letter, he was so excited.
As a participant who had personally experienced Shi Zhongkui's night trial of demons in the Chenghuang Temple, King Zhongshun was both afraid of Shi Zhongkui and wanted to curry favor with him.
It's a pity that he never had the chance before. Now with the opportunity presented by Shi Zhongkui, King Zhongshun didn't hesitate and ran directly to the palace to see Emperor Jinglong.
In the afternoon of the same day, I went to the Taoist temple where Jia Zhen practiced Taoism for a long time, and then Jia Zhen compiled a letter and sent it to Ningguo Mansion.
Not long after, Jia Rong married the daughter of King Zhongshun's concubine.
——
On this day, when Shi Zhongkui was practicing the second level of the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques in the other courtyard's martial arts arena, his ears twitched slightly, and soon he heard Ji Qing's footsteps walking this way.
Without turning around to look, you knew it was Bai Haitang.
Sure enough, after a while, they heard Wang Buli and Liu Buqi, who were guarding around them, say "Hello, Miss Bai" to Bai Haitang.
Shi Zhongkui thought that Bai Haitang had been staying at Rongguo Mansion in the past two days, and guessed that Jia Mu might really be dying.
As I was busy finishing my work, I felt anxious for no reason.
Shi Zhongkui knew that this was because he was experiencing the imminent death of a relative or friend, so he felt agitated.
Before Bai Haitang could speak, Shi Zhongkui took a deep breath, frowned and asked, "How much time does the old lady have?"
Bai Haitang hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Go back to the master, I just saw Hei Bai Wuchang leading the day patrol, the night patrol, and the four ghost kings of the underworld, holding the talisman of the prosecutor, entering the back of the Rongguo Mansion.
Hall."
When Shi Zhongkui heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.
There is nothing much to say about black and white, impermanence and impermanence, but the ghost king of the underworld comes to the house day and night with his patrols. Is this because he is afraid that someone will prevent the underworld from arresting Jia Mu's soul?
Or do people from Western religions want to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, Shi Zhongkui sneered in his heart, and a dozen soldiers led by Bai Haitang, Wang Buli, and Liu Buqi turned into a golden light and appeared outside Rongguo Mansion in an instant.
The eyes of the dozen or so disciples were dazzled, and they felt a flash of golden light, and nine figures appeared on the street outside.
After seeing clearly Shi Zhongkui, who was hugging Bai Haitang, wearing a blue dragon robe and a purple gold crown on his head, everyone near the gate of Rongguo Mansion fell to their knees with a thud.
Then the steward hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and open the middle door."
Shi Zhongkui didn't care about these people, he put his hand around Bai Haitang's thin waist, put his hands behind his back with a somewhat unhappy expression, and walked straight through the middle door and walked in.
As soon as he walked into the middle courtyard, he saw Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Lan and Jia Baoyu walking up to him quickly.
