The door opened with a creak, and Bai Guo respectfully invited Jia She to come in. Looking from her side, she could vaguely see a haggard figure sitting at the table with his head propped up.

Jia She took a deep breath and repeatedly reminded himself to be calm, then sat down beside Mrs. Liu, and asked softly, "Caifu, can I have breakfast?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at him lightly, and said lightly, "Not yet." Then he asked, "The fast food in Huangjue Temple is not bad, would Enhou want some together?"

Jia She then nodded.

No matter how delicious a vegetarian meal is, it’s nothing more than vegetables and tofu, and Huangjue Temple doesn’t bother to use vegetables to make chicken, duck and fish. Thinking of his majestic Rong Guogong, birds have faded out of his mouth these days, Jia She I shed tears of sadness for myself in my heart.

But it didn't show at all on the surface, and even picked up a chopstick of tofu for Mrs. Liu flatteringly, and pretended to say: "Caifu, this tastes pretty good."

Liu seems to have seen a big dog flicking its tail happily.

It's not because Jia Shen thinks he's in the wrong, nor because he's afraid of guilt.

He and Liu have been together for more than 20 years, and it is false to say that they have no relationship.This huge Rongguo Mansion can be said to be managed by the Liu family all the time, so Jia She can visit Liulichang all day without any pressure, not to mention that she gave birth to a son and a daughter for herself.

It can be said that Jia She, who has no exile experience, is essentially a cold person, otherwise he would not turn a blind eye to his children and let the second wife control the Rongguo Mansion.After being exiled, he gradually realized the hardships of life, and Jia Lian's filial piety to him also made this scumbag repent.

He won't be so stupid in this world.

When she said that she was wrong with red eyes, Jia She thought that Mrs. Liu had never been angry with her, and this time she was also eager to love her son, so she turned over this article.

The two talked intimately before Liu asked wearily, what should we do with all this?

When Jia She heard this, he hurriedly said: "Caifu, how could I not love Hu'er?"

Then he explained his considerations in detail: "In the future, marry Hu'er a wife and let Lian'er adopt the eldest son, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Liu choked and said: "If...if Hu'er can't survive this catastrophe..." Then she couldn't help crying.

Jia She was silent for a long while, then said with difficulty: "If... that's his fate too."

"We can't let him have no heirs to worship. When Lian'er grows up, the second adopted son is given to Hu'er, which is considered to be the parents' love." He said this, but tears came out of his eyes.

He watched Hu'er grow up, how could he have no feelings?When Jia She said this, it was as if someone had plucked out a piece of flesh from his heart, and he was a little numb from the pain. The tears left behind and the indifference on his face formed a strange feeling.

It was said that Liu's liver and intestines were broken.

The maids in the corridor outside the door could only hear the crying inside, and a little maid quietly asked Bai Guo who was standing in front: "Sister Bai Guo, what's wrong with Madam? But master..."

Bai Guo's sharp eyes swept over, the little maid shuddered, and quickly fell silent, then Bai Guo said coldly: "Listen to me, who dares to speak out about what happened in the past few days..."

The threat in the words made all the maids turn pale.

Mrs. Liu also slowly figured it out, people at that time always paid more attention to future generations, maybe Er Huer thought the same way?As parents, they tried every means to keep Hu'er by their side, and they didn't know if Hu'er was willing or not.

Originally, he just wanted to let Master Xiaoran see if Jia Hu was really robbing his wife. In order not to let Jia Hu know, Jia She, who sneaked in while he was taking the exam, said awkwardly, "How do you tell Hu'er? Tell him about his life." Not long after, his parents hired a master for him, and he has no chance to have children, so I don't know if he can survive this calamity of death?"

"Don't you know how hard Hu'er worked for the imperial examination? You have to wait for him to pass the imperial examination..."

Then, at the most proud time in his life, did he suffer such a drastic change?When Liu thought that her own son would be treated so unfairly by God, her heart would be broken.All the sons and brothers of the same age in Beijing can't compare to her alone, Huer, why is he the only one who suffers so much?

She covered her face and wept, and said resentfully: "Why is God jealous of a talent, I would rather Hu'er just be a dude for the rest of my life!"

Regarding this, Jia Amnesty only said repeatedly: "This is all his life! This is all life!"

As if this could cover up the pain in his heart.

In just a few words, Liu cried a few times, and Jia She was a little dazed, but it was Bai Guo's knock on the door that woke them up.

"Master, madam, it's quarter to three."

Bai Guo was also very helpless, she didn't dare to have a secret conversation with the master and his wife, but the wife told her in the morning that if she hadn't asked someone to come in at [-]:[-], she would have to knock on the door to remind her.

As for what to remind?Bai Guo said he didn't know, but he didn't want to know at all.

He who knows too much always dies young.

Mrs. Liu seemed to wake up suddenly, and stammered and asked, "Master, about this matter... Hu'er..."

Jia Amnesty said: "When the master finishes casting the spell, if he succeeds, tell him. If not, just keep it a secret. If you can't change something, why tell how many people will be sad? At least let Hu'er live a peaceful life."

There was no better way, so Liu had no choice but to agree.

After breakfast, Master Liao Ran was waiting in the hall where Mrs. Liu knelt and worshiped that day.

Today is the deadline given by Master Qingran. Seeing the couple coming over with their eyes swollen, he explained their decision and said, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Let's start today."

In the tribute courtyard, after nine days, Jia Hu couldn't wait to leave the number room.

The narrow space made it hard for people to breathe, so they had to concentrate most of their minds on how to answer the questions, which gave Jia Hu a little burst of potential.

After nine days without washing, Jia Hu smelled the stench all over her body. While looking around, the carriage of Rongguo Mansion jumped into view.

"Hu'er!" Jia She called to him from the carriage.

Among the sluggish and crumbling figures, a few people in good spirits were particularly conspicuous among them. He Gui's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the uncle among the few people who stood out from the crowd. He hurriedly reminded the old man that Jia Hu saw it scene.

Jia Hu got into the carriage, and before he could speak, he was poured a cup of ginseng soup.After taking a breath, Jia Hu said, "Thank you father, my son is much better."

Jia Amnesty suddenly didn't know what to say.

After a while, Jia Hu looked at his father suspiciously, and Jia She then smiled and asked about the situation.

Jia Hu vomited bitterly.

Entered through the side door of Rongguo Mansion, before seeing his mother, Jia Hu heard his father say: "Hu'er, go rest and prepare well for the imperial examination."

"This..." Jia Hu said hesitantly, "I haven't been home for a long time, and I haven't visited my mother yet."

Jia She said with a smile, "You're tired too, go back and have a good rest, and it won't be too late to see your mother again tomorrow morning."

Jia Hu still hesitated.This is not the modern age. I only go home to see my parents during Chinese New Year all year round, and no one says anything.Morning and evening, Jia Hu is used to talking to his mother for a while every day.

He asked with concern: "Mother is sick? Why don't you want your son to visit her?"

In fact, it's just that his eyes are swollen and he can't see people. Jia She laughed dryly, seeing that he couldn't get away with it, he said with a stern face, "Could it be that father's words don't work anymore?"

Jia Hu didn't even dare to say it, and said helplessly, "Then the father would like to say hello to the mother on behalf of the son."

Jia Amnesty chased him away, and he fully agreed.

Back at Songtao Courtyard, Jia Hu took a sip of tea and asked Hegui, "What happened at home?"

Hegui had a bitter face: "Hey, sir, the people over there with the master and wife should be careful!" He said again: "The master and wife are not at home these days, and went to Huangjue Temple. What did you do? Little ones don’t know.”

But he said in his heart, the little one did hear some shadows, but the master said, no matter where the uncle knew it from, it was all on the young one's head. Don't blame the young one for not giving you a tip-off.

Jia Hu lowered his head, carelessly playing with the small and delicate celadon cup with his slender fingers, half of his face appeared in the light coming in from the window, and half of his face was hidden in the thick shadow of the tall bookshelf behind him.

"Tell me, who is your real master?"

He Guiqiang smiled and said: "Of course it is the old man, but the old man ordered, this... the little one has to listen." After all, the old man is the head of the family.

Jia Hu sighed and didn't push him anymore.As soon as He Gui breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the uncle's order, "Go and call Lin Zhixiao."

Soon, Lin Zhixiao came in, He Gui followed behind him and just wanted to go in, when he was stopped by another servant next to the uncle.

This little servant has a very different name and painting style, it is called Tongqin.

He said with a pleasant smile: "Hegui, the uncle has ordered, let Yingsong replace you in the future, and you can do what Yingsong did."

Crane's heart tightened.

This copper coin is very mysterious, Hegui doesn't know what he is responsible for, and when the uncle talks to him, Hegui is never present.Hegui was fighting with a boy named Yingsong, both of them were running errands and serving the uncle, because Hegui was a companion from childhood to adulthood, and was more used by the uncle, so he often suppressed Yingsong on weekdays.

Now he got the uncle's disdain, Yingsong is going to get up?

Outside, He Gui was stopped by copper coins, and inside, Jia Hu also asked about family affairs.

Sure enough, Yingsong was pinching Jia Hu's shoulders. He focused on pinching hard, and listened to the voice of the uncle with his ears open, so as to know whether the strength was appropriate.

Jia Hu sighed comfortably.

The hard bed in the tribute courtyard, not to mention the delicate and expensive him now, even in his previous life, even after he had money, he couldn't get used to sleeping on it.No, after sleeping for a few days, his waist was sore and his back hurt. Before Lin Zhixiao came, he called a servant to pinch his shoulders.

This Lin Zhixiao is a bachelor, when Jia Hu asked, he simply said: "There is an incident at home, but don't worry. The master has ordered, and when the grandpa's palace test is over, he will tell the grandpa himself." I know, but I just won't tell you.

Jia Hu wasn't angry this time, she just smiled and said, "Then I won't ask. If the master asks, you just tell the truth."

Let Lin Zhixiao go back again.

Lin Zhixiao didn't know if the old man really didn't want to ask, or if he was going to ask other people. Before he left, he only heard the old man say in a low voice: "En~ a little more serious~"

Lin Zhixiao felt inexplicably irritable and hurried away.
