The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 19 Baochai enters the mansion and rebels in Beizhili
Standing in the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Pan looked at the majestic Rongguo Mansion in front of him, feeling envious.

Although the Xue family can be regarded as a first-class powerful family in Jinling, there is even a saying that "a good year is full of snow, pearls are like earth and gold is like iron".

But that was all based on the power and status of his in-laws. Based on it, coupled with the strong financial resources of the Xue family, this forced the Xue family to the forefront of Jinling's powerful. If there were no such good relatives, the Xue family would be The richer one's assets are, the more enviable they are.

It's like running amok in Jinling before, making friends, and earning a status for myself only by spending a lot of money.

As for the name Ziwei Sheren of the Xue family ancestor, it has been so many years, and it is no longer as effective as it used to be.

It is precisely because of this that when Xue Pan committed a crime a few days ago, he would use the power of his in-laws to get away. It is nothing more than the fact that his family has lost that much deterrent power in Jinling official circles.

After experiencing Feng Yuan's case, Xue Pan really realized the power of power. The mountains of gold and silver that he once regarded as relying on are actually just big fat that is easy to attract the covetousness of those meat eaters. You know, swaggering around the market all day long.

Just as Xue Pan looked enviously at the power and majesty of the Rongguo Mansion, he saw the corner gate on the east side of the main gate open, and Zhou Rui's family came out with two maids.

As Mrs. Wang's accompanying room, Zhou Rui's family naturally knew Aunt Xue, and immediately came forward, "Madam asked just now, and said that the concubine should have arrived yesterday, so why hasn't she arrived yet. Isn't that true?" As soon as I finished speaking, Auntie, you are here!"

"The car broke down on the way, and it took two hours to fix it, which delayed the time to enter the city, so we had to wait outside the city overnight." Aunt Xue explained.

Zhou Rui's family was stunned, "That's no wonder."

Later, seeing Jia Jing who came back with Xue's motorcade, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhou Rui's family first arranged for the servants at the door to take the Xue family's motorcade to settle properly, and then hurriedly invited Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai into the mansion.

Jia Jing went to her own yard without mentioning it.

Aunt Xue and her party entered the Rongguo Mansion from the east corner gate, and walked straight for about a distance (200 meters). During this time, a maid had already rushed to inform Mrs. Wang.

They passed by Jia She's outer study, and then went around the corner door on the east side of the front hall of Rongxi Hall, walked through the alley outside Jia She's courtyard, and finally came to the gate of Mrs. Wang's courtyard behind.

Along the way, Aunt Xue and her party were awed by the deep houses and many rules of Jia's mansion.Even though the Xue family has gold and silver mountains and millions of furniture, even the Jinling house is built with winding and beautiful pavilions, but it is just exquisite and gorgeous, which is different from the majestic atmosphere of the Duke's Mansion.

Although the Xue family is an imperial merchant, it is only a merchant's family after all, how can it be compared with a real powerful family.

A few people walked forward, but they saw Mrs. Wang, who had been reported by the maid, had already led Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, and stood at the door to greet her.

Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and sisters have not seen each other for a long time, but this time they meet again, there are mixed feelings of sadness and joy, so naturally there is no need to say more.Especially since Aunt Xue lost her husband that year, she worked hard to raise two children by herself, and the hardships and sorrows in it are really hard to describe in words.

After the two sisters talked about their longing, Mrs. Wang calmed down and remembered that she hadn't visited Jia Mu yet.

Immediately he led the crowd to see Jiamu.

After a lot of tossing, I finally saw all the people in Ningrong and Rongfu, delivered all the gifts and special products I brought, and settled down in the Lixiangyuan of Jiafu, and the matter was considered to be over.

…………

The north wind is howling, and the sky is freezing.

The closer to the end of the year, the colder and more unbearable the weather becomes.

North Zhili Daming Mansion.

"boom!"

The dilapidated wooden door made of wooden sticks was pushed open from the outside, pushed by the north wind, and fell hard on the fence wall on one side.

A tall and thin man, wearing a tattered felt hat and a tattered jacket that had been mended to some extent, hurried in.

After pulling through the wooden door forcefully, closing it forcefully, and then finding the bolt next to it to resist, the man dragged his already frozen body into the room.

The room smelled of horse dung, and there were already five or six people sitting there. In the middle of the room, firewood was burning in a huge earthen basin, bringing the temperature to this cold room.

Seeing the man come in at this time, several people in the room got up one after another.

"Brother Six is ​​here!"

Several uneven greetings sounded, Liu Liu nodded, and then turned his gaze to a middle-aged man sitting in the innermost.

The man was only in his early thirties this year, but his old face and wrinkled face made him look like a 81-year-old.

At this moment, this "little old man" was holding his head in pain, showing a face full of bewilderment and bewilderment.

"Tell me, what happened?" Liu Liuyi sat down beside the brazier, and put his frozen hands on the brazier to roast.

There was silence in the room, and then the "little old man" said: "Sixth Brother, my family's spring horses will not be delivered! In the middle of last night, the horse failed to survive and died under the nose."

The tone is sad and full of despair.

The other people got out of the way, only then did Liu Liu see that a skinny brown horse was lying there in the corner, cold and stiff.

"The harvest in the field is not good this year, there is nothing to feed the horses, and winter is coming too fast, and there is not even a lot of fodder... People have nothing to eat, but they have to take care of the horses first!"

"Brother Six, my horses probably won't survive these two days!"

"If you can't hand over the horses, and you can't get enough compensation, you will probably be dispatched to the border to serve as an army like Qi Da!"

"Yeah, in this world, how can we poor people live?!"

"..."

Different from the joyful and peaceful scene of singing and dancing in Shenjing City, everyone in this small house is full of hardships and sorrows.

After a long time, Liu Liu, who had been warming silently by the fire, stood up.

In the light of the fire, Liu Liu's expression was firm and his words were resonant.

"Since those dog officials don't want us to live, then we're going against it!"

A few people were taken aback for a moment, but then they realized, "That's right, we're going the other way!"

There was a ray of hope in the eyes that were originally hopeless.

And this kind of situation is not uncommon in the whole area of ​​Beizhili, like the "little old man", and it is not just a single family.

In the cold wind, a ray of hot flames has been ignited.

Therefore, in this year when there should be no way out and every family mourns, the rare aroma of horse meat wafts in the village.All the men who were supposed to go to the Taipu Temple to pay horses, rode the horses they had raised with great difficulty on their way to the surrounding villages...

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred...

People who were about to die, families that were on the verge of extinction, and villages that had become sparsely populated all came after hearing the news.

The horses raised by the family turned into war horses, and all kinds of swords were sharpened. These farmers with disheveled faces transformed into crappy cavalrymen.

In just over a dozen days, the rebel team, which originally consisted of only six or seven people, grew rapidly with the response of the poor local people, from the initial dozens of riders to thousands of people.

The banner of rebellion has been raised!
