The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 228 Daiyu misses Jia Lian
Shenjing.

Zhaowuhou Mansion.

Lin Daiyu woke up at noon, served by Xueyan, fetched water to wash up, then picked up the "Anthology of Lay Yi'an" that she was reading at the bedside recently, the poetry anthology was blown away by the wind, but it was just opening to a page.

"Don't be ecstasy, the wind is westerly, and people are thinner than Huang Hua."

Looking at the words and sentences on the page, Lin Daiyu couldn't help being stunned.

But when he thought that Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai were going to Guanzhong to provide disaster relief, they would have to eat and sleep in the open all the way, but he could only sit at home, so he couldn't help but feel a little bored.

At this time, even though the room was cool and cool, it was hard to hide the depression in Daiyu's heart.

Under seeing things and thinking about others, how can I still read the poetry collection in my hand?
So, after Lin Daiyu carefully placed the collection of poems in her hand on the dressing table, she went to the Chaoshou corridor outside, took a walk for a while, and after seeing the parrot hanging on the corridor, she teased the parrot in the cage for a while .

Only then did the mood slowly ease up.

When her mood improved, Lin Daiyu went back to the room and sat down again.

Seeing that the sun in the sky was already westward, he was afraid that the parrots in the porch would be exposed to the sun, so he ordered the snow geese to take the parrot cage from the porch and hang it on the hook specially left outside the window of the moon hole.

Lin Daiyu was sitting inside the moon-hole window, watching the bamboo shadows outside the window reflected into the screen window, she felt that the room was full of shade and verdant, and a little bit cool.

I felt a lot of depression in my heart.

When I was extremely bored, I took another collection of poems, picked out the poems I liked, and taught the parrot to recite them sentence by sentence.

Outside, Xue Baochai came to look for Daiyu.

Hearing the voice of Lin Daiyu teaching the parrot to recite poems inside, she couldn't help smiling and asked Xueyan at the door, "Why did Madam remember teaching the parrot to recite poems today?"

"What else can I do, I guess I miss Lord Hou again?"

When Jia Jing was not at home, Lin Daiyu was depressed every now and then, and Xueyan was no stranger to it.

It's just that as soon as the words came out, Xue Yan immediately realized that what she said was beyond the norm.

Subconsciously sticking out her tongue, she quietly stretched her head out to take a look into the room, seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't hear her words, Xueyan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, seeing Xue Baochai's half-smile expression in front of him, he couldn't help but froze.

Na Na said: "Aunt Xue, you are the one who asked me this, are you going to sue?"

Xue Baochai smiled, "Am I that narrow-minded?"

After that, he smiled and opened the curtain, and entered the room.

Seeing Lin Daiyu sitting by the moon-hole window inside, Xue Baochai smiled and said, "You're good, you say you're sleepy after lunch, leave me there to deal with things, and go to take a nap by myself, what's the matter? Are you awake now?"

Lin Daiyu put down the collection of poems in her hand, blinked her eyes, "Isn't it human nature to be tired in spring and autumn? Besides, I don't have to worry about the affairs of the house with Sister Xue here!"

Hearing this, Xue Baochai couldn't help giving Lin Daiyu a blank look, "You are lazy!"

"It's called hard work for those who can!"

Lin Daiyu also laughed.

The two girls chatted and laughed for a while, before Xue Baochai said, "Just now at the next door, Sister-in-law Lian sent Ping'er to invite her, saying that she has something to discuss with our mansion."

"Is there something to discuss?" Lin Daiyu asked, "Did Ping'er say something?"

Xue Baochai waved his hand, "What else can I do? It's nothing more than Lian's second brother's romantic debt!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help frowning slightly, "This second brother Lian is really too worrying!"

"Why not? I have wronged Sister-in-law Lian, such a face-saving person, who follows behind me all day to clean up the mess..."

Xue Baochai defended Wang Xifeng, and he also had some opinions about Jia Lian in his heart.

When Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai came to the Rongguo Mansion, they realized that Jia Lian was in the filial piety period, and the fact that the concubine's second sister You was pregnant was exposed!
It turned out that Second Sister You had been married to Zhang Hua of the Zhang family since she was a child.It was only later that Mrs. You brought her second and third sisters to remarry the You family, and the Zhang family gradually declined, so they gradually became estranged.

But now, because Mrs. You remarried to You's family, she got involved with the first-class powerful family in Shenjing - Jia's family.

For the Zhang family, which has fallen so low that eating is almost a problem, it is nothing more than a pie from heaven.

How could the Zhang family be willing to give up this channel of relationship building?
Therefore, although Mrs. You later asked someone to send 20 taels of silver to Zhang Hua to agree to withdraw from the marriage, but soon after the incident, after the money was spent, Zhang Hua regretted it again.

Unwilling to be reconciled, she began to look for the whereabouts of Second Sister You.

After asking around, he actually blindly bumped into the maid next to Second Sister You, Zhang Hua followed her secretly, and found Xiaohuazhixiang all the way.

In this way, under daily surveillance, he actually found out that Second Sister You was pregnant.

It is a huge scandal and a crime for a concubine to become pregnant during the filial period!

As a "scholar", Zhang Hua naturally knew what consequences it would have on Jia Lian if this matter was reported to Yushi!
Ever since, Zhang Hua, who claimed to have grasped Jia Lian's lifeline, went directly to the gate of Jia's house and blackmailed Jia Lian.

At the beginning, Jia Lian also wanted to calm down the matter, so he took a sum of money to Zhang Hua as a hush money.

Faced with Baihuahua's money, Zhang Hua naturally agreed.

It's just that the money came easily, so Zhang Hua spent it recklessly.

It didn't take long to wipe it out.

Thinking in his heart, Jia Lian is now a second-class general, and the entire Rongguo Mansion is his, so he is naturally rich, so he came to the door again, brought up the old matter again, and blackmailed it again.

After doing this over and over again, Jia Lian's private house was almost out of money, and Wang Xifeng also knew about it.

Deliberately wanting someone to deal with Zhang Hua directly, but thinking about the secrecy of his family's staff, he wanted to borrow two staff from Jia Jing's mansion. .

………………

Let's go back to Jia Jing.

At this time, Jia Jing was in the magistrate's yamen in Hanzhong Prefecture.

After the court case, Fang Guanglu, the magistrate of Hanzhong, was sitting there with a troubled expression on his face.

Under the hall, three well-dressed wealthy businessmen knelt on the ground, and under the watchful eyes of Jia Jing's personal soldiers, they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

Fang Guanglu persuaded: "Commander, these three people bought and sold land, all of which were signed by the farmers, and they did not seize the land. Is it a bit too arbitrary to take them directly to prison now..."

On the big chair below, Jia Jing sat with her arms folded. When she heard Fang Guanglu's words, she frowned, and her cold eyes fell on Fang Guanglu, which made her feel a chill in her heart.

"Master Fang, these days, you have never stabilized the price of food in the city, causing the price to rise again and again..."

Jia Jing's words gradually showed murderous intent, "The governor has never asked you to blame for this matter, but you are here to persuade me instead! But I ate too much human blood steamed buns, and I forgot my name. ?!"

After saying that, Jia Jing got up directly and said: "Since this is the case, then you should stop sitting here and go to the prison to reflect for a few days, and then the governor will bring you here for questioning!"

After all, Jia Jing ordered: "Give Fang Guanglu to the governor!"
