Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 267 Entering the Mansion
The trial of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to a conclusion half a month after the house raid. Jia Zheng, Jia She, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were exiled to the border. This was an imperial edict directly issued by the Supreme Emperor and would not change.

Wang Xifeng was charged with loan sharking and litigation, and was sentenced to three years in prison.

As Jia Lian was Wang Xifeng's husband, Wang Xifeng did these things in Jia Lian's name. Although Jia Lian did not admit participating in these things, he was eventually sentenced to two years in prison.

Jia Baoyu's sentence was beyond everyone's expectations. They thought he would be fine, but due to two incidents of finding nuns in his family temple, he was sentenced to half a year in prison.

The other is Jia Huan. At a young age, due to Aunt Zhao's early accident, he was left unattended. Although he was not taken seriously at home, he used the name of the Jia family to fool around outside.

As a result, when interrogating Jia Huan, his mental quality was not good, and he confessed everything at once, molesting women, extorting property, etc., which also earned him half a year's imprisonment.

When the results were announced, everyone discovered that the next generation of the Rongguo Mansion was truly evil.

Among the slaves of the Rongguo Mansion who were taken away, those involved in the case were severely sentenced, and the rest were resold.

After this incident, Rongguo Mansion became history. The plaque at the entrance of Rongguo Mansion, "Edict to Build Rongguo Mansion", was also destroyed on the same day as the house was raided.

"Brother Qiang!" Jia Qiang returned home from the cabinet. As soon as she entered the main hall, Lin Daiyu greeted her.

In this era, the man in the family is the backbone of the family.

The slaves purchased could not be accommodated in that house, which was not big in the first place.

Tanchun is an extremely sensitive person, so if he doesn't eat well or sleep well, his body will become thinner.

Jia Qiang was not surprised by this. The three of them had lived in Rongguo Mansion for so long, and each of them had several maids they liked.

"It's great to have you!" Lin Daiyu leaned lightly into Jia Qiang's arms and said movedly.

Jia Min went over to take care of it, and Lin Daiyu went there often.

Lin Daiyu smiled and put away the banknote.

She really wanted to reach out and sweep the dust for Jia Qiang, but unfortunately this 'Ruyi Immortal Robe' didn't even touch the dust, which made her feel very unfulfilled.

The purchase of maids was very simple. Jia Qiang did not need to go there. He just asked the steward of Jiahou Mansion to bring a note and purchase all the slaves that needed to be kept before all the slaves were sold.

This money could only have been taken out by Yingchun, and perhaps a lot of it was borrowed from Jiahou's house, otherwise the total amount of money Yingchun took from the house would not have been so much.

When the two women got off the carriage, they saw Lin Daiyu coming out.

He was expelled from the Jia family in the capital. Just because he was a grandson-in-law, there was no reason to host this funeral.

Yingchun got off the carriage first, then she turned around and helped Tanchun out of the carriage.

In this funeral, Jia Qiang only showed up on the day of burial. Although the money and arrangements for the entire funeral were done by the Jiahou Mansion, Jia Qiang's identity prevented him from participating too much.

"The second girl, the third girl and the eldest lady have begged me. They want to buy back some maids!" She glanced at the 'Ruyi Immortal Robe' with some disgust and got down to business.

"With Butler Lu Xun here, everything is arranged very well!" Lin Daiyu replied.

Jia's mother's funeral did not drag on for too long. When the ruling of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came down, the male masters of the Rongguo Mansion could not come out, so Jia's mother was buried with the participation of several female family members.

"This is the money they collected, and this is the maid they want to buy. Buy back as many as you can!" Lin Daiyu said, taking out a few banknotes and a piece of paper.

Now that the case in Rongguo Mansion is almost over, those slaves will be resold, and they naturally hope to bring back their familiar maids.

What he asked about was Jia Mu's funeral.

I don’t know what Lin Daiyu said to Tanchun, Yingchun and Li Wan, but the list sent to Jia Qiang was a long one.

The Rongguo Mansion was raided and all the male owners were imprisoned, which made her feel like the sky was falling.

"Sister Tanchun is here!" Lin Daiyu said with a smile. She stepped forward and took Tanchun's hand, and said with some pity: "Why are you so thin!"

Tanchun looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place with some restraint. When Ning Guo Mansion was there, she had been here when she was still young.

Even when she was in Rongguo Mansion, few people had any words of concern for her.

She knew that the family was not short of money, but when this matter involved outsiders, she would wait for Jia Qiang to make up her mind.

Coupled with Jia Mu's death, the last support of Rongguo Mansion was gone.

Jia Qiang glanced at the banknotes. He knew that Li Wan and Tanchun didn't have much money, and they couldn't take anything away when they ransacked their homes.

These days, Tanchun is under great psychological pressure.

Regarding how to be a qualified wife, she learned a lot from her mother, especially her mother who taught her how to behave in daily life.

"I can't go there. Please ask your mother-in-law to come back in the next two days and I'll adjust her body!" Jia Qiang explained again.

She is also a smart daughter. The treatment methods Jia Qiang has used over the years have kept her family free from illness and disaster, and even the slightest illness has never appeared. This is such care.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's concern made Tanchun feel warm in his heart.

The day after the funeral, a carriage entered Jiahou's mansion.

"Forget it, return the money to them. I will buy these maids for them. You go and tell them. If there are other maids, let's talk together to save you regrets later!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and said.

There used to be a large family in Rongguo Mansion, but now there are only a few female dependents.

He will leave a 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' in each of these people in the family. The healing energy in Jia Min's body is almost exhausted. Without the healing energy, Jia Min's body is likely to have problems due to sadness.

The house where they lived before was given to Li Wan and Jia Lan by Jia Qiang, so Tanchun could not live there for a long time.

Yingchun consulted Lin Daiyu and Jia Qiang for their opinions. Neither husband nor wife cared about having one more person in the house. Besides, Lin Daiyu still liked Tanchun very much, so Yingchun brought Tanchun into Jiahou's house.

"Is everything going well over there?" Jia Qiang turned her 'Ruyi Immortal Robe' into regular clothes and asked.

She is a sentimental daughter, but under the protection of Jia Qiang, almost nothing makes her sad, which makes her feel extremely happy.

"Tanchun has met Mrs. Jia!" She bowed and saluted.

"What do you call Mrs. Jia? You should call me sister. I like hearing this!" Lin Daiyu pulled her up and said with a smile.

"Sister Lin!" Tanchun called softly.

"That's right, your place has been arranged. It's Qiu Shuangzhai in the Grand View Garden. You can live with the sisters. You can also talk more!" Lin Daiyu then said the arrangements for Tanchun.

"Qiu Shuangzhai!" Tanchun couldn't help but feel dazed. She didn't expect that she would be arranged to Qiu Shuangzhai.

She was very familiar with Qiu Shuangzhai. When news came from Yuanchun in the palace that the sisters were allowed to live in the Grand View Garden, Qiu Shuangzhai was her residence at that time.

It's just that the Supreme Queen came and gave the Grand View Garden to Jia Qiang, and she also moved back to Rongguo Mansion from Qiu Shuangzhai. But she didn't expect anything to happen to Rongguo Mansion, so she finally moved back to Qiu Shuangzhai.

"Thank you Sister Lin!" Tan Chun didn't know how to thank Lin Daiyu, so he could only say this.

"To welcome you, the sisters have held a banquet in Yuyin Hall and are waiting for you!" Lin Daiyu waved her hand and said to Tanchun and Yingchun.

Surrounded by all the maids, several people entered the Grand View Garden and all the way to Yuyin Hall.

At this moment, Miaoyu, Yunfei, Zhujun, Xichun, Yinglian, and Xing Xiuyan were all waiting. Especially when Xichun saw Tanchun, he ran over and hugged Tanchun.

The two sisters had deep feelings in private. They were naturally extremely excited to be able to reunite again after their family was broken up in Rongguo Mansion.

"Sisters, Sister Tanchun will live in Qiu Shuangzhai from now on. Let's each introduce our residences!" Lin Daiyu waited for the two sisters to separate and said with a smile.

"I'll go first, Hengwuyuan Miaoyu!" Miaoyu was the first to stand up and introduce herself.

"Hongxiangpu, Yunfei!"

"Hongxiangpu, Mr. Zhu!"

"Daoxiang Village, Yinglian!"

"Daoxiang Village, Xingxiuyan!"

"I live in Zhujin Tower!" Yingchun said.

"I live in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but if you usually come to me for anything, you usually come to me in the main hall!" Lin Daiyu said at last.

Tanchun looked at so many sisters in front of him, and it seemed that the Grand View Garden was not as lively as it was now.

"I heard that Sister Tanchun has the ability to be a housekeeper. Please assist me in housekeeping when you are free. When you get married, the house will buy you a generous dowry!" Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

The girls all chuckled, Tanchun couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Although she was shy, Tanchun was also a sensible person. This was Lin Daiyu's assurance to her.

Tanchun was born in Rongguo Mansion, and she was a commoner. In the past, even if nothing happened in Rongguo Mansion, she would not be able to marry well.

But it's different now. She lives in Jiahou Mansion, and Jiahou Mansion prepares a dowry for her. This is almost equivalent to treating her as a young lady from Jiahou Mansion.

With the prestige of the Jiahou Mansion in Daqian, no family would underestimate Tanchun.

At least after Tanchun, the options for marrying are much wider, and you can marry into some famous families.

"I will learn housekeeping from Sister Lin!" Tan Chun felt that he could only repay this kindness by working hard to help Lin Daiyu's housekeeping.

The maids brought food, and everyone here was the daughter's house. Everyone was laughing and having fun, which made the sadness during the time of exploring the spring and welcoming the spring dissipate a lot.

A banquet also made Tanchun get acquainted with the sisters.

When the banquet was over, Shishu, Cuimo and Xiaochan, the three personal maids who came back with Tanchun, supported the slightly smoked Tanchun and returned to Qiu Shuangzhai.

When Tanchun walked into Qiushuangzhai, she suddenly found that everything remained the same as when she left.

When leaving Qiu Shuangzhai, due to the order of Rongguo Mansion, she was not allowed to take anything with her, so when she moved, she took nothing with her except a few pieces of her clothes.

She was not Jia Baoyu. Even though time was so tight, she arranged for many maids to help organize the items and clean and move in a short time.

"We're going home!" She murmured softly, half drunk.

When the three little maids Shishu, Cuimo, and Xiaochan heard this, their eyes couldn't help but turn red. They were also frightened when they ransacked the house in Rongguo Mansion.

After so many days of living an unsettled life, today I am finally able to stabilize myself and live in my familiar former home, which is very touching.

Tanchun reached out and touched each piece of furniture. She felt the familiar touch brought by the furniture. She remembered that she had done the same when she moved into Qiu Shuangzhai.

"Miss, you'd better rest first!" the secretary advised from the side.

Tanchun was indeed tired. She was helped to the bed by the maid, her head touched the pillow and she fell asleep. When she fell asleep, she unconsciously had a smile on her face.

The next day, Tanchun got out of bed with the help of three maids. She walked out of the room and went to the yard.

"Young lady, I've seen you!" Four nuns and six maids stood in the yard. They all bowed and saluted after seeing Tan Chun.

"Are you all arranged by the government to stay in Qiu Shuangzhai?" Tanchun waved his hand to signal them to lie down and asked.

"Yes, from now on I will serve the lady exclusively!" the leader of the ladies replied.

Tanchun secretly lamented that when she was in the Grand View Garden, she had almost the same number of slaves. There was even one more slave in the Jiahou Mansion than before. Of course, this was counting her own three personal maids. Inside.

Tanchun explained it and asked the maids and nuns to do their jobs well. She was very good at this aspect.

Then another female steward came over and asked Tanchun for her size, not only for Tanchun herself, but also for her three personal maids. This was to prepare corresponding clothes for them.

In addition, the female steward also sent four sets of masks and some gold and silver ingots for rewards.

"This is the girl's monthly payment for the first month. I will send it to you every month in the future. The other maids need to collect it themselves!" The female steward handed over the twenty taels of silver and explained.

Tanchun had the same feeling as when Yingchun first entered the mansion. The treatment in Jiahou Mansion was better than when she was in Rongguo Mansion.

While Tanchun was still digesting these things, Yingchun came over.

"Second sister, this Jiahou Mansion has been too kind to me!" Tan Chun said with some flattery, pointing to the four sets of headscarves and other things sent by the female steward.

"This is the normal treatment in the Jiahou Mansion. You will know in the future that the treatment in the Mansion is the best even in Beijing!" Yingchun explained with a smile.

"I feel like I'm in a dream!" Tan Chun shook his head and said.

"Then don't dream. Today you have to go to each courtyard to visit the sisters one by one!" Yingchun said with a smile.

Then Yingchun took Tanchun to visit the courtyards of the Grand View Garden to thank the sisters for their welcome yesterday.

Yingchun also helped Tanchun prepare some small gifts, which she carefully prepared.

Now Tanchun is very poor. The remaining wealth in his hand is just the monthly income he just received, and there is nothing else.

In the afternoon, Tan Chun took the initiative to find Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu was not polite and handed over some affairs in the mansion to Tan Chun to manage. Nowadays, Jiahou Mansion is too large and lacks trustworthy manpower.
