Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 151
Beijing,

Bingmasi Yamen,
The steward of Chunlou was also about to cry, but said aggrievedly;
"My lord, the villain just came back from Yina in Shuntian Mansion, and Shuntian Mansion said that the matter of law and order should be taken care of by your lord."

Looking at the steward who was still wronged in the hall, the commander of the army and horses made He Yongxi angry. The civil servants of Shuntian Mansion are not considered human beings, so they all push it to me. When it is good, why didn't I think that there is also the commander of the soldiers and horses? make it.

He Yongxi thought about it for a while, and he had some concerns in his heart, so he said;

"You go to Shuntian Mansion to report the case first. After all, the case happened inside the house, not outside. It's not good for me to intervene in the case of Shuntian Mansion. If you can't do it, you can go to the back. This matter is not under the jurisdiction of the Bing Ma Si. The officials are powerless."

The steward was dumbfounded, seeing Shangguan's evasion, he knew that this matter was difficult. Fortunately, the son is in the Chunlou, the son!
The steward was surprised at the thought of this, and He Yongxi in the hall stood up and ran back with his thugs, He Yongxi also cursed when he saw it,
"Little man, you deserve to be smashed."

Zhang Jinyu was still puzzled halfway, so she turned around and said to Duan Hong,
"Old Duan, you take people to escort all the servants in charge of the Jia family in the camp outside the city. Take away all the people here, and I will also go back to the mansion to bring people. When we meet in Ningrong Street, we will take the face of the Jia family. Take it out and smoke."

Duan Hong hesitated;
"Master Hou, can you do this? If you have provoked enough, can you do it too much?"

Zhang Jinyu smiled confidently and said,

"As long as they don't move their master's family, these servants are irrelevant. Besides, I don't want their lives. I want to meet Jia's family for a while. The Ningguo Mansion has met, but the Rongguo Mansion has not shown up."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, look at it."

After speaking, Duan Hong led most of the people to run outside the city, while Zhang Jinyu immediately went back to the mansion to transfer people.

Beijing,

Jia's House, Rongguo Mansion, Ningrong Street,

Rongxitang Daxiyuan, Rongqingtang.

It was just after noon,

Not a moment later, Mother Jia, who had been resting for a while, woke up, and still called the girls to drink tea and have snacks. From outside, she could hear endless laughter in the hall.

Needless to say, it has always been Wang Xifeng and Zhu's daughter-in-law Li Wan's place next to Jiamu in the hall.

It turned out that the old lady in Rongqingtang was a little itchy, so she asked people to play dominoes. It was the hobby of the family who had nothing to do. The second wife ate fast and recited Buddha all day long. These, plus my daughter-in-law and niece-in-law are all at the same table, I don't want to.

In order to gather people, Wang Xifeng had to go to the East Mansion to find Mrs. You to join the table. Why didn't Mrs. Xing come here without calling the old lady? Naturally, the old lady doesn't like the old lady, so naturally Wang Xifeng didn't feel uncomfortable to invite Xing lady.

Mrs. Xing also knew that she was not welcome, so she stayed in the old courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, drinking tea and hanging out, only when the old lady sent someone to call her.

In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu sat at the head seat, and the maid, Yuanyang, waited on her side, and the rest of the amber, parrot, pearl, and jadeite stood by and listened to calls at any time.

Not far from the lower end, of course, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Baoyu gathered around a table, talking about some gossip and jokes in the house, mainly the maids in Baoyu's courtyard, serving tea by her side Pour water, hand melon and fruit snacks, and serve thoughtfully.

It was getting colder and colder this day, and as the new year approached, the news about the Grand Competition in the capital spread, and everyone was anxiously waiting for that day to come. Mother Jia also felt that there were more people to warm her up, which was considered a psychological comfort, so she was fine every day. He told everyone to come over when they had time.

It's also the lack of entertainment in this world. Except for poetry and poetry, it's just listening to operas and playing cards. The men are much better, lie down in the brothel, play, play, sing, and dancers with exotic styles. As for the servants, they have to get together to drink and brag. As long as it is not discovered by the host family, it is also okay for a few people to gamble a small amount of money in the hidden house.

Because Jia Lian was practicing in the Beijing camp, Wang Xifeng never came back, and she was very lonely, so she had to come here every day to have fun with the old lady, and she forgot about Jia Lian. The widow was no more lonely.

It's not that Wang Xifeng is unlucky today, she lost a few taels of silver, her delicate and pretty face pretended to be displeased, and sighed there, pretending to be fighting, which made the old lady very happy, laughing constantly .

And Youshi, who was helping out at the side, was even more thoughtful, and kept joking, laughing one after another, Li Wan was also very happy, but looked straight at Wang Xifeng.

"Sister-in-law, you should smile more, I am fascinated by you."

Li Wan's face turned red, it can be said so.

The old lady scolded there,

"You phoenix, how can you say that about your sister-in-law? I don't think you're bad."

Wang Xifeng didn't know what to think, her face turned red and she stopped talking, and Youshi joked after seeing it;

"Feng girl, you are blushing."

Everyone at the table laughed out loud, coaxing the old lady alone.

Jia's mother, now also has silver hair and shows her old appearance, but she has an unusual wisdom in her spirit, and she smiles kindly and kindly, and is approachable.

Mother Jia said to Mrs. Wang, the second wife behind the stall;

"From the second family, if the girls are hungry or tired, they can go back to rest or have something to eat."

The second wife quickly responded;

"I know mother."

It turned out that Mrs. Wang didn't go out, she rested behind the barrier on the other side of the hall, and took a Buddhist scripture to kill boredom. From time to time, Caiyun brought tea and melon and fruit snacks, and she felt full.

Caiyun would wipe the hands of the second wife with a brocade cloth from time to time. This twenty-eight-year-old, with bright white teeth, is also a beauty, but her expression is a little sad and stubborn.

Mrs. Wang was really bored and looked at Baoyu and several girls, so she said to the old lady;
"Mother, it's the end of the day. It's time for dinner after going back to rest. I'll let them go back and rest."

"If you don't take it seriously, let the brothers and sisters have more fun and have dinner at any time."

When Jia Mu was talking, she touched a domino and came back, her face was happy, it must be a good card.

As for the dinner that the second wife mentioned, it is not a big deal in the honorable family of the Duke and Marquis, it can be gathered or a small stove.

The second wife heard that she was not talking, and looked at Baoyu who was still playing around, thinking of Luo Yunhou's title, she also showed a complicated look.

When can I get up?

But I didn't dare to persecute him. After all, the eldest son Jia Zhu had only been away for a few years, so Baoyu became the darling of Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang also knew about Jia Mu's love for Baoyu and Jia Zhu's accident, so Baoyu's affairs must not be decided by herself. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang is also full of joy and anger. Can you give it to Baoyu?

Thinking of this being upset again, Mrs. Wang didn't want to stay here anymore, so she called Caiyun after drinking tea, and Caifeng and Xiaoxia were going back to their Rongxi Hall to rest for a while.

Just about to get up, suddenly there was a loud shout from the front yard of Rongqing Hall;

"Old matriarch, it's a disaster, it's a disaster, Master Zhen of the East Mansion can't do it, can't do it."

The hoarse yell of the servant from outside scared the people inside the room to trepidation, and Wang Xifeng, who was still playing around, didn't understand what was going on and asked again;
"What are you talking about, who can't do it?"

A few servant girls also blocked the door and didn't let the servants in. They were all female relatives, what if they bumped into each other.

The male servant had no choice but to speak out of breath at the door;

"Yes, it's Uncle Zhen from Dongfu. Second Master Lian is also there."

Wang Xifeng also stared wide-eyed, why is he there.

It turned out that after Luo Yunhou left in Chunlou, Jia Zhen, who was supported by a servant, was furious and extremely ashamed. She held her breath, spit out a mouthful of urgent blood, and passed out. Jia Rong led people to carry Brother Zhen into the carriage and let him go back to the house, but the bustard and glans in Chunlou didn't dare to stop them, so they could only watch the mess and the troublemakers walk away.

Going back to Ningguo Mansion in Dao Ning was another frenzy, and the one who called the doctor was called the doctor. Jia Lian didn't dare to leave after the announcement. After all, he was a participant. , how to get here.

And the servants are also useless. Seeing Jia Zhen's words change as soon as she passes them on, she can't do it directly to Master Cheng Zhen. When Jia Mu, who was playing around, heard the yelling, she asked Feng girl to ask who can't do it again. Wang Xifeng said in a low voice ;
"My boy said it might not be Master Zhen from the East Mansion"

Before Jia's mother could react, Youshi, who was at the bottom, also wailed when she heard this, and immediately collapsed, her pretty face was also pale, and she was lamenting there;
"How could this be."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry."

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan rushed to support You Shi, one on the left and the other on the right.

Mother Jia was also taken aback, she lost all her strength, shed tears with a pale face, and said in a mournful voice;

"How could this be? Isn't it good these days?"

Although Jia Zhen is from the East Mansion, she is also a descendant of the Jia family in the capital, and she was raised by herself, so she can be regarded as a good child. How could this be the case?

Li Wan was also a little sad when he saw it, thinking of the night when Jia Zhu left, he also felt sorry for him, and wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't say anything, and all the maids around came over and handed brocade cloths to wipe their tears , the mandarin duck is also tightly supporting the old lady.

On the contrary, Wang Xifeng was a little puzzled, wasn't it good these few days, and when did Jia Lian come back, didn't go back to the mansion, and was still with Jia Zhen, what was going on here, or the two of them went to that place again.

"Old Ancestor, don't worry, it's not right, I haven't made it clear about this matter, brother Zhen has been doing well these few days, and why don't I know when Jia Lian will return from Beijing camp?"

The others also put away their sadness and thought about it, and Mother Jia also wiped away her tears, raised her head and asked;

"Feng girl, let that servant come in and ask what's the matter? Hurry up."

"It's the ancestor."

Wang Xifeng got up and went out.
