Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 199: The golden necklace contains injustice
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter and hotter. At noon, the masters and servants everywhere became even more tired due to the long day.

However, Jin Chuan has been absentmindedly from time to time recently, but there is another reason.

A few days ago, Mrs. Wang told her that Jia Zheng wanted to take her as his concubine, and even take her with him when he went out. It was a mixed blessing for a while.

She has been trained by Mrs. Wang as Baoyu's mistress, and she also has secret feelings in her heart.

However, being able to be promoted as a concubine by the master, to the maidservant, she is half the master from now on, even if she goes to Baoyu's house, she may not have the opportunity to climb up to be a concubine.

Even, according to Mrs. Wang, this time Jia Zheng seeks to be released and only plans to take her there. From then on, the sky will be high and Mrs. Wang will be far away. Compared with Aunt Zhao, who is controlled everywhere in the palace, she will not be much stronger. .

It's just that Jia Zheng's age is there after all, and Baoyu is charming and suave. What girl doesn't have a child, not to mention that she has always been aiming to go to Baoyu's house.

Although she had no room to object to this matter, she would always secretly care about it and worry about gains and losses.

On this day, Mrs. Wang was asleep on the couch in the inner room, and Jin Chuan was sitting next to her, beating her legs and squinting her eyes, thinking about all these things.

Baoyu walked up to her gently and took off the pendant from her ear. Jin Chuaner opened her eyes and saw that it was Baoyu.

Baoyu smiled quietly and said, "Why are you so sleepy?"

Jin Chuan pursed his lips and smiled, waving him to go out, still closing his eyes. When Bao Yu saw Jin Chuan, he remembered that she had said that Mrs. Wang would send her to him, and he was a little reluctant to leave. He quietly poked his head to see Mrs. Wang. Focusing, he took out the Xiangxue Moisturizing Pill from the purse beside him, and stretched out his hand to send it to Jin Chuan'er.

Jin Chuan'er didn't open her eyes, she just closed her eyes.

When Baoyu came up, he held hands and said with a smile: "I will beg you with my wife tomorrow. Let's stay together."

Jin Chuan was in a trance after hearing this, and suddenly fell into a dilemma. While hesitating, Baoyu said again: "Otherwise, I will ask for it when my wife wakes up."

When he said this, Jin Chuanfan suddenly realized that Baoyu had always been most afraid of Jia Zheng. Even if he dared to mention it to Mrs. Wang, how dare he argue with the master?
If something like that happened in Dongfu, neither Jia Zheng nor Mrs. Wang would blame their son, but rather blame themselves for instigating it.

So he said angrily: "The golden hairpin fell into the well. It's only yours that belongs to you. I'll tell Qiao Zong'er that you go to the east courtyard to get Brother Huan and Caiyun."

I wanted to hint that he didn't want to force himself to do anything, so I sent him out casually so as not to implicate myself.

Unexpectedly, Baoyu licked his face, hugged Jinchuan, and said with a smile: "It's up to him to do whatever he wants, I'll just keep you company."

Mrs. Wang was in a daze when she heard her son asking for a gold necklace. She didn't want to make any noise, fearing that she would make a noise that would startle the outside world and reach Jia Zheng's ears.

I thought that as long as I told Baoyu, he wouldn't have the guts to mention it again.

But he never expected that as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Baoyu hugging Jin Chuan, and heard Jin Chuan say Dongxiaoyuan before.

I thought that since the Bai family was brought by me from the Wang family, they should at least be in a good position. Unexpectedly, they got close to Aunt Zhao, and they suddenly became furious.

He stood up angrily and slapped Jin Chuan'er on the face.

He pointed and cursed: "I'm a little whore. I've taught you a good man, but you've ruined me."

When Baoyu saw Mrs. Wang getting up, he was so frightened that he ran away.

Half of Jin Chuan'er's face was hot and she didn't dare to speak. When the girls heard that Mrs. Wang had woken up, they all came in hurriedly.

Mrs. Wang was already riding a tiger and could not get off. If Jia Zheng knew what her son had done, given his disgust for Jia Zhen's ashes, she would probably lose half of her life even if Baoyu did not die.

Instead of suffering for his son, it would be better to take the blame himself, so he called Jin Chuan's mother Bai Lao Niang and ordered her to take Jin Chuan back.

…………

When Lai Shangrong went home from the office at night, the jade bracelet came to him crying.He knelt down and said, "Sir! I don't know what happened to my sister. She was driven back by the second wife over there. Please ask me for mercy!"

A servant who made a mistake and was kicked out of the house is different from leaving his country. It is just that he is kicked out of the house and his source of income is cut off. Not only is he not allowed to leave his country, but without the master's nod, he cannot even marry, let alone go out to make a living, so the jade bracelet That’s why you’re so anxious.

"Do you know what the reason is?"

"My mother also asked, but my sister just kept crying and said nothing, and she didn't eat or drink. She was so anxious!"

Lai Shangrong reassured: "In this case, you go back and ask about the situation first, and tell your sister not to think too hard. Even if the other party won't let her go back, the worst I can do is tell her to come over and be your companion."

In the original work, Jin Chuan jumped into a well and died soon after being driven home, while Yu Chuan has been doing his best to himself.

It's okay if you don't know. If you know, you can't just ignore it.

Although he had read the original work and knew that Jin Chuan was having trouble with Bao Yu before being driven home by Mrs. Wang, he could not reveal the truth, so he told Yu Chuan to find out the inside story.

After receiving Lai Shangrong's promise, the jade bracelet hurriedly thanked him profusely and went back to pack up and salute.

"For now, just watch your sister at home and tell her not to do anything stupid."

After putting the jade bracelet into the car, Lai Shangrong did not forget to give him a warning.

Watching the carriage leave, and just as he was about to go back, he saw a man and a horse galloping down the street.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Qi Ning, the commander of the Jin Yiwei.

When Qi Ning saw Lai Shangrong, he immediately said without dismounting: "Master Lai, come with me quickly!"

The Jinyiwei was originally the authority under the emperor, and Qining was here again this time, so it must be of great importance. It happened that he also sent the jade bracelet home for his carriage, so Lai Shangrong went back to the courtyard to pull a horse, got on the horse and left the house. .

When Qi Ning saw Lai Shangrong coming out, he didn't say a word, he just motioned for him to follow him, and the two came to Linjing's gate all the way.

After passing the palace ban, we came all the way to the imperial study room.

As soon as Lai Shangrong saluted, Emperor Zhenglong said straight to the point: "Qin Ye wants to see you!"

"Master Qin is back?" Lai Shangrong knelt on the ground without shouting, and didn't dare to get up, he said blankly.

"Get up! I ordered Qi Ning to secretly escort him back to Beijing. Qin Ye has confessed to the corruption case of the Construction Department!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Lai Shangrong and said jokingly: "I have promised to let his son live, but he said that he would only hand over the account book for sharing the stolen goods after you made a promise."

"This...I'm so scared!"

Lai Shangrong knelt down quickly and cursed Qin Ye secretly. The emperor has given you a guarantee. You can't drag me down even if you believe it or not. Doesn't this embarrass the emperor?

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If the emperor misunderstands, wouldn't it be...

"Get up!" Emperor Zhenglong said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance. No matter what request he makes, you must agree to him first and be sure to get the account books!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Emperor Zhenglong waved his hand and said: "Qining! Take Lai Aiqing with you!"

At the same time, he gave Qining a meaningful look.
