Red Mansion Huacai
Chapter 292 Death of Jia She
Chapter 292 Death of Jia She
(This chapter will be revised first and then revised. I will give you two thousand words to prevent you from saying that I always take advantage.)
But Ping'er hurried to Yihongyuan, and halfway there he couldn't help but think to himself. Although Miss Yun has a cheerful personality, she would inevitably feel unhappy about such things, so Ping'er had an extra thought.
When he arrived at Yihongyuan, he didn't look for Xiangyun. Instead, he called out Cui Lu, whom he had known since childhood.
The two of them crossed the Baishi Bridge and sat down in Fangxia's round pavilion. Cui Wei couldn't help but wonder: "What on earth does Miss Ping have to say, but she has to carry someone on her back."
Ping'er thought about it and said, "There is something I can't make up my mind about now, but I have to ask you first."
Cuixi smiled and said, "Miss Ping just said it."
Ping'er immediately told the story about the mandarin ducks. Na Cuixi frowned after hearing the beginning. After hearing it, he stood up and said: "This is not appropriate!"
As the saying goes, like a master, there must be a servant. Although Cuixi's mind is as bright as Xiangyun's, how can she be willing to make the decision for Xiangyun in such matters?
Furthermore, she and Xiang Yun were sisters, and they had already decided to marry Xiang Yun together. She thought that she was not as good as a mandarin duck, and she had no confidence in her heart. How could she dare to provoke a strong enemy for herself? Come?
Ping'er probably knew what Cui Wei was thinking, so he said: "Don't think too much. Yuanyang is forced to do this, and now he is just looking for a way out. You also know the situation in the house. The eldest master, Yuanyang is a millionaire." No. Second Master Lian has his grandma watching, and Second Master Bao has an attacker watching him. Where do you want the mandarin ducks to go?
The old lady can still protect her for a while, but if the old lady is gone in the future, wouldn't it mean that the mandarin duck will be killed? They are all sisters who have been together since childhood. How can you bear it? "
"This -" Cui Lu frowned and was speechless for a long time. After all, she couldn't bear it, so she thought for a long time and said: "Even if I nodded, I'm afraid I can't pass Yingxue's test. If you want me to say that Miss Ping has found the wrong person this time, you must first speak in front of the old lady. After passing the message and letting the old lady talk to the girl, it became a matter of course."
Ping'er sighed: "How could I not know? It's just that grandma is living a small life behind closed doors and will never be involved in such things. I can't go past grandma."
It was still early, so Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Li Wan, Feng Jieer, Baochai and other sisters, as well as several prominent wives of deacons outside, were all having fun in front of Jia Mu.
Seeing the time, Ping'er had no choice but to go back first and follow Sister Feng to Rongqing Hall.
Xiren said: "Although I shouldn't say this, at this age, the old lady always has to make plans for the people around her. At Yuanyang's age, and she is a high-spirited person, it is not appropriate to stay at home and have a son. . Madam, why don’t you talk to the old lady? It’s considered an adult’s beauty.”
Yingxue said: "Of course it's my wife."
"How do you say it?" Ping'er asked.
While joking, she suddenly saw Yuanyang dragging her sister-in-law and kneeling down in front of Jia Mu, crying and saying, "What did Mrs. Xing say? What did her sister-in-law say in the garden? What did her brother say today?" All will be said one by one. After swearing, he looked for scissors to twist his hair.
Li Weijian was startled for a moment after hearing this, and then said happily: "It's just a quick talk. It's about me, and it's in front of you. Maybe I'm a mandarin duck and it's hard to speak at that moment."
The matter has nothing to do with me, and I am thinking about my uncle's temperament. How could my uncle not accept a girl of Yuanyang's caliber and character?
Cui Lu was speechless for a moment, and the two of them sat in silence facing each other. Just when they were at their wits' end, they suddenly heard a sneer from behind, and turned around to see Ying Xue coming out.
Li Weijian didn't have much contact with Yuanyang, so he didn't think much about it.
Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "She has a good idea."
Tanchun is a thoughtful person, thinking that although Mrs. Wang has grievances, she does not dare to argue. Aunt Xue is also a sister, so naturally it is difficult to speak. Baochai is also inconvenient to defend her aunt. Sister Feng and Baoyu do not dare to argue. Yingchun is honest. Little Xichun...after all the calculations, it seems that I am the only one who can speak?
Therefore, he smiled and said to Jia Mu: "What does this matter have to do with Madam? Think about it, Madam, there is also an uncle who wants to arrest people in the house. How does Auntie know about it? She knows, but she doesn't know."
He nodded and said, "Good boy, you are very thoughtful. I will tell the old lady tomorrow morning."
Rongguo Mansion was in turmoil, and the uncle's mansion next door was also rippled by this incident.
As soon as this statement came out, Ping'er frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: Yes! The eldest man wanted to forcefully marry a mandarin duck, and his intention was of course the old lady's body and money. Mrs. Wang had always regarded Rongguo Mansion as her own. If she knew about it, how could she sit back and watch the eldest family get her hands on her?
Moreover, the mandarin duck is the old lady's personal maid. Not to mention the current situation, even if the old lady is gone tomorrow, the mandarin duck will not be easy to deal with. It doesn’t matter if you really stay, or if you don’t… You can’t be Master Zheng’s little wife, right? From this point of view, after the old lady leaves, it would be the best choice to send the mandarin duck to the uncle's house next door.
As the saying goes, 'Speak out and make things happen', Hongyu said it as a joke, with this in mind.
Cuixi suddenly became anxious and hurriedly came over and said: "I also looked at Sister Yuanyang, and I really couldn't bear it. Don't talk nonsense to the girl."
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Ping'er was thinking about the mandarin duck incident and went to look for the attacker again early in the morning. But the attacker kept evading the offer, saying he couldn't talk to his wife in front of him.
In Xiren's heart, that Yuanyang was more dignified than an ordinary master in the house. If he really stayed, and Baoyu was a sympathetic person, he would become a strong enemy for no reason. Because at this moment, he whispered: "Madam, during the day I asked the mandarin duck about his future plans. At first, the mandarin duck bit him to death and twisted his hair to become a sister-in-law. Later, Ping'er told Fourth Master Jian, then Yuanyang stopped saying anything."
Yingxue agreed with a smile, and Ping'er walked away quickly. In a blink of an eye, after leaving the Grand View Garden, Ping'er went to Qilaizhai again. At this moment, Baoyu is still in Rongqing Hall, and Xiren is not here either. Only Meiren is at home with his little maid.
Because it was Yingxue, she laughed and said, "How can I talk too much about saving someone's life? What I was laughing at just now is that Miss Ping is in the dark now, how could she forget someone."
Mrs. Wang frowned as she thought, this was the best of both worlds. Firstly, it eliminated Dafang's thoughts, and secondly, he sold it to Li Weijian.
Jia Mu was startled and hurriedly asked Hu Bo to stop her. Then she was so angry that she was trembling all over!
He said with hatred: "I have such a reliable person left, and they still want to plot against me!" Because Mrs. Wang was at the side, thinking that Mrs. Wang had just uprooted the Lai family a few days ago, and now the old lady was worried about Rong. The control of the government was so unsatisfactory that even Mrs. Wang also scolded me: "It turns out that you are all coaxing me! You are filial outside, but you are plotting against me secretly. You come to ask for good things and good people, and you are left with such a hairy girl. Seeing that I treat her well, you are naturally angry and want to get rid of her so that you can play with me! "
However, after Hongyu returned to her mansion, she became more depressed the more she thought about it. The four of them were originally the only ones around Fourth Master Jian, but now they have two more aunts. One is a chance meeting, and the other is a gift from his brother, and they are very interesting to Fourth Master. Hongyu can't say anything, but What did Yuanyang say?
One has no contact with the fourth master, and the other has always been so arrogant, how could he ever take a third-class maid like Hongyu seriously? Even when Siqi came over, Hong Yu was thinking a lot, but this mandarin duck attracted her attention.
Yingxue smiled and said, "I thought you were playing tricks on the girl behind your back. I didn't expect you were looking for your aunt for the fourth master."
Thinking that it was already getting late, Ping'er had no choice but to return angrily. Sister Feng asked, but Ping'er only said, "It's not legal." Although Sister Feng didn't show it on her face, she was quite happy in her heart.
Filial piety was so great that Mrs. Wang stood up quickly, not daring to say anything back. When Aunt Xue saw that Mrs. Lian Wang was in trouble, it was hard to persuade her.
Hong Yu thought about it secretly for a long time. After dinner, when everyone gathered in the East Road Courtyard, Hong Yu said with a mischievous smile: "Now the fourth master is very rich, not to mention the girl outside, even the girl next door is also obsessed with it." Put it in front of Fourth Master."
Thinking about it this way, it seems that he can persuade Mrs. Wang? It's just that I'm not good enough to deliver words to Mrs. Wang, so I have to go through some twists and turns.
Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard this and said: "The eldest master is in such a situation, but he still wants to marry a little wife."
As soon as these words came out, Li Weijian was puzzled and said with a smile: "I only go there every now and then and I have never provoked anyone. Who is talking behind her back?"
Hongyu smiled and said, "Then I don't know. I'm not the roundworm in her belly, so how can I know what she thinks?"
Yingxue responded with a smile, her expression unconcerned. She came from Jinglingbo Mansion and was ordered by Li Weijian to take care of Xiangyun. Her future has been decided long ago. Although I can't lift my aunt, a daughter-in-law who is in charge cannot run away. She also knew that she was an ordinary person and could not compare with Qingwen, Xiangling, etc. who were around her uncle, so she no longer wanted to cling to them.
It took Ping'er a while to figure out that the attacker had actually gone to see his wife.
As the saying goes, see through but don't tell. Mrs. Wang knew what the elder was planning, so she deliberately told the old lady.
In the final analysis, the two were of the same age and color, and both acted thoughtfully. However, they were favored by the old lady. They usually behaved like a master, which made Hongyu wary.
But he said that Baoyu was still in Rongqing Hall, so Xiren secretly came to Mrs. Wang's courtyard. After using the snacks Mrs. Wang rewarded, Xiren hurriedly told Mrs. Wang what happened during the day.
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, Miss Yun is cheerful and naive, so she must have a proper supporter by her side. Otherwise, if she gets married one day, she will be bullied by those maids and aunts. There are mandarin ducks. I hope the old lady can feel at ease."
Hongyu said: "It's not just a bitch, but today the eldest master wants to accept Yuanyang, and Yuanyang is not happy, causing a big disturbance. It happened that Yuanyang went to the garden to relax and relieve his boredom, Ping'er and Xiren teased Yuanyang, One said he wanted to promise to Second Master Lian, and the other said he wanted to promise to Second Master Bao, but Yuanyang didn't even nod his head. But when it came to Fourth Master Jian, Yuanyang was speechless. Hehe, he was thinking about Fourth Master. ?”
Ping'er called Meiren to ask about Xiren's whereabouts. Meiren sneered and said, "Where else can I go? I'm going to show my courtesy to my master right now."
After making up his mind, Ping'er smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I really enlightened you. I have gained your kindness today, but if there is anything useful in the future, feel free to talk to me."
Jia Mu had vented her anger, but she knew something was wrong, because before Tanchun could finish speaking, she laughed and said, "But I'm old and confused! Don't laugh at me, concubine. As a sister of yours, she is very filial to me, unlike me." The eldest wife is always afraid of the master, but she is wronged by her mother-in-law.
Aunt Xue agreed, and said that Jia Mu favored Mrs. Wang. Baoyu suddenly became smart and made some jokes, and expressed his annoyance to Mrs. Wang on behalf of Jia Mu. The clouds in the sky dispersed.
At this time, there was a reply from outside, saying that Mrs. Xing was here. I knew that Mrs. Xing would be embarrassed after a while, because Aunt Xue and others all retreated first and stayed aside.
Jia Mu was about to vent her anger on Mrs. Xing, but when she came in, she cursed: "I heard you came to play matchmaker for your master. You are obedient and virtuous, but your virtuousness is too much! Now you are full of grandchildren, Are you still afraid of him and can't even say a word of advice? Why do you still let your master behave?"
Mrs. After scolding Mrs. Xing away, Jia Mu called everyone in again and talked briefly for a while before leaving.
Mrs. Wang did not move, and waited for them to leave. She just said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, a daughter-in-law shouldn't talk too much. It's just a mandarin duck serving the old lady, and there will be consequences."
Mother Jia was convinced and said: "I am also worried about this in my heart. What do you think, madam?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Listen to what I'm talking about, Yuanyang doesn't want to be with the eldest master, nor Lian'er, nor Baoyu, but he has a soft spot for brother Jian who comes and goes often."
"Brother Jian?" Jia Mu was puzzled. After thinking about it, it seemed to be reasonable. As the saying goes, a sister loves beauty and a madam loves money, so Li Weijian must have an appearance and be capable. Now that he is a high-ranking official with a generous salary and a poor family, it is not surprising that the mandarin ducks secretly admire him.
Then Mrs. Wang said again: "My daughter-in-law is thinking that Xiangyun is too open-minded and will inevitably be deceived by her subordinates in the future. Wouldn't it be good if there is a suitable person to follow her through the door?"
Jia Mu thought about it and thought it was a good idea! Firstly, it gave the mandarin ducks results, and secondly, when it came, it was regarded as protecting Xiangyun.
Moreover, Xiangyun is still young at the moment, so when he comes through the door, he might have left long ago. So he nodded frequently and said with a smile: "Madam, this is a good idea. After I think about it, I will talk to Girl Yun later and see what she thinks."
At noon that day, Jia Mu found time to call Xiangyun alone. Ping stepped back, took Xiangyun's hand and said, "Girl Yun has grown up in a flash, but I don't know if I will be able to see you get married in the future."
Xiangyun smiled sweetly and said: "My aunt has a long life, I can definitely see it."
Jia Mu smiled and shook her head and said, "Everyone hopes to live a long life, but how many people can live a long life? I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."
Xiangyun didn't know what was going on and said directly: "My aunt just said that's it, but I don't know what it is?"
Jia Mu then said, "Do you know about the mandarin duck thing?"
Xiangyun naturally knew that this matter was making a fuss, so he nodded and looked at Jia Mu wondering why he mentioned the mandarin duck.
Jia Mu then told Mrs. Wang's idea and said: "Firstly, I will give Yuanyang a place to go; secondly, with her taking care of me, I can feel more at ease even if I am no longer here."
Xiangyun was stunned after hearing this, and when he heard that Jia Mu's words meant a final entrustment, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Jia Mu hurriedly called Yuanyang over again, pointed at Xiangyun and said: "Yuanyang, don't say that the old lady doesn't care about you. Now that you have found your mistress, why don't you kowtow quickly?"
Yuanyang had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't want this bad thing to turn into a good thing, but she actually followed her wishes. Feeling both happy and worried at the same time, after hearing this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Yuanyang has seen the mistress."
Xiangyun always regarded Yuanyang as her big sister, so she was about to avoid her, but was forced to sit down by Jia Mu, who watched Yuanyang kowtow three times in a polite manner.
Immediately, Jia Mu said, "Girl Yun, what are you thinking about?"
At this point, Xiangyun had some thoughts in his heart that he couldn't say out loud, so he could only nod his head, pull Yuanyang up again and said: "Yuanyang, let's stay together for a long time."
Yuanyang's eyes were red and she said, "Don't worry, Miss Yun, I will only think about Miss Yun from now on."
There was nothing to say at the moment, and the Rongqing Hall was in a happy mood for a while.
............................................................
There is no airtight wall in this world, and the story of the eldest master's rape of a mandarin duck became a hot topic in an instant. There are also rumors circulating that Sun Shaozu, who came to propose marriage, not only broke up with the elder, but was now sent to the ends of the earth, probably because he offended Li Weijian.
Siqi had taken a break that day and left happily early in the morning. When he came back in the afternoon, although his face was rosy, his brows were furrowed and he was worried.
Being nourished by Li Weijian, Si Qi was naturally happy both physically and mentally. However, unexpectedly, he heard Li Weijian say that the eldest brother was using Li Weijian as a knife, which made Siqi even more dissatisfied with the eldest man and his wife.
And because of Jia She and Mrs. Xing, Li Jijiu and his wife strongly opposed Li Weijian marrying Yingchun. If Yingchun didn't marry her, when would the days when she, a chess player, could only have a tryst once a month, come to an end?
Entering Rongguo Mansion through the back door, he bumped into his mother head-on. Si Qi heard his mother scolding the big house again, so he became more and more worried.
Now she pretends to be all about Li Weijian, and she hates Jia She and Mrs. Xing with itch.
When they entered the Dezhujin Building, Yingchun was having a fight with Xiuju. When he saw Siqi returning, Xiuju smiled and said, "You're back so early? I thought you'd only come back tomorrow."
Siqi agreed without saltiness, and when it was time to eat, Xiuju picked up the food box and headed to the kitchen. Si Qi and Yingchun were left in the room. Seeing Yingchun's face being quiet and concentrating on her work, Si Qi couldn't help but said: "Does the girl think that if she escapes this situation, she will have nothing to do in the future?"
Yingchun paused and said angrily: "Now I can only delay one day, one day at a time. They are my parents. If they really want to marry me, what other option can I have except death?"
Seeing Si Qi's mouth tightening in anger, Yingchun added: "He has suffered a stroke now. I don't know when he will die... I am looking forward to him going. I have been a filial piety for three years, and I don't know if I can just obey."
Si Qi perked up after hearing this and said, "Since the girl has this intention, why not use some means?"
"Ah?" Yingchun was startled and said hurriedly: "No, no!"
Si Qi simply came over to sit down and persuaded: "It's not because of my gossiping behind my back. Since I was a child, have you ever paid attention to me? Now I'm just treating the girl as an object. One is to blackmail those who don't know about it, and the other is to threaten." Fourth Master Jian.
This matter has two consequences, and Fourth Master Jian also wants to have face. If it happens twice more, the matter between the girl and Fourth Master Jian will really be uncertain! "
Yingchun frowned, naturally resenting Mrs. Xing and Jia She in her heart, but how dare she kill them?
She has a cowardly temperament and cannot bear to hurt even flowers, plants, fish and insects, let alone a human life.
Seeing that Yingchun was still speechless, Siqi was completely annoyed this time and said dejectedly: "Girl, she hides behind everything. I think there is no hope. I will find fault by myself in the future, why not let my wife send me away?" Go out, so that you won’t be worried about following the girl in the future.”
"Si Qi!" Yingchun suddenly became anxious. Thanks to Si Qi's care, the second girl has just lived a happy life for two years. If Siqi goes away, then Xiuju has no idea. How can he have a good life in the future?
Furthermore, what Siqi said is right, bad things like this hurt people's feelings once and for all. If it happens a few times in a row, Brother Jian will probably become separated no matter how much they care about their friendship. .
Yingchun suddenly became anxious as she thought about Wang Shaozu and Zhang Shaozu who she would marry in the future.
He quickly pulled Siqi and said, "Good Siqi, don't abandon me. If you leave, how can I survive?"
Si Qi said angrily: "The girl has to be a little angry. She keeps waiting and leaning on her. Not only because others think the girl is easy to bully, but also because Fourth Master Jian thinks the girl has lost her affection. "
Yingchun thought about it for a long time, and was eager to give it a try, but in the end he couldn't be so cruel. Because he was holding Siqi in his arms and crying.
Siqi was pestered for a long time, and he knew that the second girl had such a temperament, and he could not be cruel no matter how much he was forced to do so. After thinking for a while, he sighed and whispered: "That's all, since the girl doesn't have this intention, why should I be anxious? It's just that my family is in a hurry for money -"
When Yingchun heard the words, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, you are in charge of the money. No matter how much it costs, you just take it." The chess player showed a gentle expression and immediately said nothing more.
Immediately before Xiuju returned, Si Qi gathered the banknotes in the box, counted out a thousand taels and put them in his sleeve, and then went back to his grandmother Wang Shanbao's house to look for them.
As soon as Siqi left, Xiuju returned with a food box. When asked about Siqi, Yingchun only said that he had returned home.
But he said that Si Qi had found his grandma, Wang Shanbao's family, and retreated from others, quietly discussing with his grandma.
Wang Shanbao's family was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "How dare you do such a thing! If people find out, why don't you want to be beaten to death?"
Si Qi's heart skipped a beat and he said: "As long as it is done secretly, who can know about it? Moreover, now that the eldest master is in such a situation, not to mention the eldest wife, but also the concubines and maids in the house, who can't Is it because of the anger of the gods? I don’t believe that no one will be tempted if I throw a thousand taels of silver at you!”
"One thousand taels?"
Wang Shanbao's family was immediately tempted. After thinking for a long time, he said: "There is a girl named Taohong in the eldest master's room. She is two years older than my wife. Although she was not favored in the past few years, she now takes turns taking care of the eldest master. She is not a shepherd. I will be sold out as soon as the eldest master leaves. I will go back and talk to Tao Hong, I am sure she will be happy."
Si Qi said: "I know grandma is right." As he spoke, he took out the stack of banknotes from his sleeve. Seeing that Wang Shanbao's family's eyes were dazzling and about to take it away, Si Qi hurriedly hid behind him and said seriously: " Grandma, don't be greedy, you know what I'm thinking. It will be as expected in the future, not to mention a thousand taels, but even ten thousand taels."
Wang Shanbao's family said hurriedly: "You are my grandson, how can I trick you? Don't worry, I know what's going on."
When Si Qi saw what she said, he handed over the banknote and gave some instructions before getting up and returning to the Grand View Garden.
But he said that Wang Shanbao's family had dinner and went to the east courtyard to listen to orders, pretending to be worried. Because of the mandarin duck incident, Jia She and Mrs. Xing had a disgraceful quarrel, and because Jia She was now unable to move, Mrs.
Then he simply went back to his room to sulk and ignored Jia She again. Concubine Ji pushed Jia She away with a look of disgust on her face. Wang Shanbao's family went to find the empty house. They passed by Taohong's window and looked inside. They saw Taohong looking for Mr. Jiao from under her pillow.
Just when it was about to be used, Wang Shanbao's family suddenly knocked on the door, which made Taohong panic for a while.
When she opened the door and saw that it was Wang Shanbao's house, Taohong said in a panic: "Why are you here, but the wife has orders?"
Wang Shanbao's family smiled and said: "Don't panic, let's go inside and talk."
The door was closed and the two of them sat down on the Kang. Wang Shanbao's wife chatted for a long time and suddenly said: "My wife is very upset right now. The eldest man's illness has made his temper even weirder than usual."
Taohong felt the same, frowned and complained: "Who says it's not the case? Now that I can't even move, I still want to think about the things that I have and don't have. He is also a bad-tempered person, and he will hit people when he is not in his mind. I don't know what this day is like. When is the boss?"
Wang Shanbao's family member said: "Madam, it's okay, no matter what, you still have a destiny, what do you think about the future?"
Taohong sighed: "What else can I do? I'll be a monk hitting the clock for a day, but now I don't dare to think about the future."
Wang Shanbao's family said sternly: "Auntie, you have to think about it. I've heard people say that it's not easy for the eldest master to endure a situation like this in the winter."
After talking for a long time, Wang Shanbao's family suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Now there is a business. When my aunt is done, she will get five hundred taels of silver. With these five hundred taels, won't there be hope for the future?"
Taohong suddenly asked with concern: "Is there such a good thing? But I don't know what kind of business it is?"
Wang Shanbao's family directly handed over the two hundred taels of silver notes and said in a low voice: "There is no need to embarrass my aunt. I just need to mix some wine into it when I make the medicine tomorrow."
"Ah?" Taohong covered her mouth and lost her voice, but she saw Wang Shanbao's family staring directly at her.
Taohong suddenly misunderstood and thought that Mrs. Xing had completely annoyed the old man. Thinking about it, Jia She saw that her time was running out and she had fallen out of favor a long time ago. It was not worth offending Mrs. Xing for her. Moreover, Wang Shanbao's family was not wrong. Instead of living like this, it would be better to take these five hundred taels, so that there would be hope in the future.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and nodded, then reached out and took the two hundred taels of silver notes.
Wang Shanbao's face showed a smile and he said: "I know that my aunt is very capable of carrying things. Don't worry, I will send you the three hundred taels as soon as the matter is completed."
Without further ado, Wang Shanbao's family hurried away.
Taohong held the two hundred taels of silver notes in her hands, thought about it for a long time, and hurriedly hid the banknotes at the bottom of the cage. She stood up and took a deep breath, gradually settling down.
............................................................
Zhongshun Wangfu.
Snapped--
The jade cup fell to the ground, and the maid in front of her was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I accidentally made a mistake and it was not intentional——"
King Zhongshun's face was ashen and he waved his hand without saying a word. Then a eunuch came forward and dragged the maid off. The concubines, secondary concubines, beauties, etc. inside are all as silent as cicadas. Since King Zhongshun was fined a heavy sum of money and was banned from home, the prince became increasingly moody.
An old eunuch was about to step forward to ask, when suddenly someone from Xiaohuangmen came in and whispered a few words to him. The old eunuch hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to see you."
King Zhongshun raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, wondering: "It's strange, why are you here now? Let him come in, I want to listen to what he has to say."
The eunuch agreed and hurried to lead him in person. After a while, the eunuch led Chang Shi inside. After seeing the courtesy, King Zhongshun waved his hands impatiently and just asked: "What's the matter?"
Chang Shi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I got an IOU and I don't dare to do it on my own, so I have to come and ask your Majesty for instructions."
"Oh?"
While talking, the old eunuch handed over the IOU. King Zhongshun took it and took a look at it, and he immediately became happy: "Hey, Jia She owes someone money again? Let me see, eight thousand taels is not too little." He raised his eyes and smiled and said: "Where did you get this IOU? of?"
Chang Shi said truthfully: "The pawn shop below bought it and killed it for 40%. The official thought the prince would be useful, so he took the IOU for 3,200 taels."
Zhongshun Wang Dayue slapped the table and said: "Good deal!"
King Zhongshun believed that now he was like a dragon playing in the shallows and a tiger falling on the plain. He couldn't afford to offend the saints and King Zhongyong, not even the kid named Li. After all, he could only bully and bully Jia She, a low-class person. Guy.
It was not because the Jia family stood still more than ten years ago, so how could he be in this situation now? Thinking of this section, I felt even more hateful, because King Zhongshun said: "Look how many years have passed. Calculate the interest later. Tomorrow morning you will take my post and go to the door to ask for it. Remember, you must not lose a penny!" "
Chang Shi responded, and King Zhongshun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, shouting: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Dance, dance, it will be a happy day today."
King Zhongshun suddenly turned sunny, and everyone in the palace heaved a sigh of relief. All of a sudden, drums and music were playing, dancing girls were dancing gracefully, and several beauties came over to flatter him with charming smiles, not to mention the beauty among them.
............................................................
The next day.
The east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.
The elder Jia She was sitting in a wheelchair, hesitating and looking down. Tao Hong felt extremely disgusted and couldn't help complaining: "Master is already in such a bad shape, aren't you afraid of having fun all at once?"
Seeing Jia She's angry face, Taohong hurriedly leaned down and started working. After a long while, Jia She hummed a few times, and then Taohong frowned and went to tidy up.
Just after rinsing his mouth, a maid came with some decoction.
Taohong's mind moved and she said to the maid: "Put it there, I will help the master with the medicine later. I am asking for your help. I have some food accumulation after eating so early in the morning. Go and ask if there are any Xiaoshi Dan, and I got two pills." Come."
The maid was most disgusted with serving Jia She. After hearing this, she immediately agreed with joy, put down the soup and went away. Taohong pushed Jia She aside, and seeing no one around, she quietly took a small porcelain bottle and mixed the spirit into the medicine. She sniffed it herself, fearing that Jia She would smell it, so she hurriedly found some honey and mixed it with it. Go in.
After a long while, he brought the soup and said: "Those little hooves are not willing to serve the master. In the end, it has to be me? This soup is bitter, so I added honey to it. The master tasted it and it was palatable." ?”
Jia She opened his mouth slightly and put the medicine in with a spoon. Jia She suffered two strokes. Not only half of his body, but also his tongue was not very sharp, because he could not taste the strong liquor mixed with it.
Taohong coaxed her and gave her a bowl of soup, just as the maid returned. Taohong took the Xiaoshi Dan and said, "You can look after it for me for a while. I'll be back as soon as I can."
After saying that, she took the medicine bowl and left. With her heart pounding, she hurriedly found the faucet to wash the bowl, then threw the porcelain bottle over the courtyard wall, and then she felt a little relieved.
After I calmed down, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. This time was no different from being a thief. If I did it two more times, there was no guarantee that I would be busted. I just hope that Jia She will be sent away this time, otherwise Taohong will not dare to take risks again.
On this day, Jia Lian's trauma was getting better, but it was still lingering in his mind. He was lying on the kang, lovingly, when suddenly his mother-in-law came to look for him: "Second Master, go and have a look. The chief minister of Prince Zhongshun is here again."
"Huh?" Jia Lian didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the front hall to greet him. At the same time, he also sent someone to inform the back house.
The mother-in-law did not dare to neglect, so she divided her troops into two groups. One side reported to the east courtyard, and the other side reported directly to Jia Mu.
At this moment, Jia Mu was having dinner, and Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, etc. were all there. She was startled when she heard the mother-in-law reporting in a panic.
I couldn't help but turn around and look at Baoyu!
Not only Jia's mother, but also Mrs. Wang glanced at Baoyu, and looked at Baoyu with an incomprehensible heart.
Mrs. Wang said: "You are such an evildoer, could it be that you have caused trouble outside again?"
Baoyu was worried and said, "My son goes to the academy every day. When he has free time, he only stays at home. He never interacts with the official Qi again."
In fact, Baoyu betrayed his trust, and Jiang Yuhan was arrested by King Zhongshun because of Baoyu. From then on, he stopped communicating with Baoyu for fear of being dragged down by him again.
The rest, such as Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, etc., although they had many contacts with Baoyu due to the affection of King Beijing, they refused to have a close relationship. As a result, Baoyu became bored over time and only hung out at home, too lazy to hang out outside.
It's just that Baoyu is full of bad things, so how can Mrs. Wang believe it? He immediately yelled and cursed: "I have been busy taking care of the house these days, but I have failed to control you, and you have become more wanton. From tomorrow onwards, you are not allowed to hang out anymore, and you can only go to the academy to study hard, otherwise I will tell the master , let me teach you a lesson!"
Baoyu's eyes were red with grievance, and he quickly looked at Jia Mu: "Old ancestor——"
He looked over eagerly, only to see Jia Mu sighing and turning her head away, and then said nothing.
Baoyu suddenly seemed to be struck by thunder, and was stunned in place. Then he looked around again, and saw Sanchun, Daiyu, Baochai, and Xiangyun all looking over, their eyes full of scrutiny, but no one believed him. Baoyu suddenly felt that everyone had abandoned him, and felt sad. He couldn't help reaching out to grab the Baoyu hanging on his chest.
Wang Xifeng was sharp-eyed and saw that the situation was not good. She hurriedly pushed the attacker and said: "Madam, what you said is too much. It's just that the Chief of the Palace of Zhongshun is here. They haven't said anything yet. Let's take care of it ourselves." There was chaos when we got up, wouldn't it make people laugh if word got out?"
Tan Chun also said: "Sister Feng is right. Madam, if you are not busy blaming Brother Bao, you should wait for the letter first."
As he spoke, Xiren hurriedly came to Baoyu. Without waiting for him to take off Baoyu, he hurriedly took it and said, "I'll take care of it first, lest you lose your temper again."
Lost my temper... lost my temper... lost my temper...
Normally, when he throws a jade, he will definitely arouse concern from above and below, but now he has no chance to even throw a jade. Baoyu's heart became more and more desolate, so he simply turned around and walked away. In his daze, he instinctively headed towards Caicui Temple.
But there were a lot of chatter in the Rongqing Hall, and everyone was uneasy. After waiting for a long time, the mother-in-law came back and said: "Old lady, Second Master Lian has sent the Chief of the Palace of Zhongshun to the east courtyard."
Jia Mu quickly asked: "But Sao heard it clearly, what's the reason?"
The mother-in-law said: "Xun Xiaoxiao asked, and he said that the elder owed money outside."
After hearing that it had nothing to do with Baoyu, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But Jia Mu, who was sitting high on the soft couch, frowned and cursed: "Why does this villain owe me money again?" After a pause, he asked quickly: "Do you know how much you owe?"
"This -" the mother-in-law hesitated and refused to speak.
Something like this just happened yesterday, and Jia's mother was so disgusted with it, how could she be willing to cover it up for Jia She? Because he frowned and said, "Just tell the truth."
The mother-in-law then said: "Back to the old lady, the principal is only 8,000 taels, but the monthly interest is three cents. Now it turns out to be 24,000 taels."
"what?"
The mother-in-law said again: "Second Master Lian had a discussion with the Chang Shi. He refused to let go. He said that if the eldest master does not return it, he will go to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen to sue the eldest master and our family!"
Jia Mu suddenly felt dizzy for a while. Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang hurriedly came to help her. After a long time, Jia Mu came to her senses, and she couldn't help feeling sad. She cursed, "What a sinner. I have to drag down my family with my careless spending. I'm responsible for this." I can’t control it, let him find his own way!”
Just at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the funeral cloud knocking four times from the Yimen Gate. It was the sound of mourning!
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were stunned, and Sister Feng was even more frightened. She hurriedly sent the maid away: "Go and ask, who are you announcing the funeral for?"
Just as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xing came in with the maid and the mother-in-law crying.
When everyone sees this situation, how come they still don’t know the reason?
Jia Mu immediately trembled and asked, "Madam, what are you—"
Then they saw Mrs.
"Ah?" Jia Mu stood up suddenly while leaning on crutches. Then she swayed and fell backwards.
"old lady!"
"old lady--"
In Rongqing Hall, there was a sudden chaos and chaos!
