Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 400 Gathering
When Jia Lian came to pick her up, Daiyu naturally understood that she had to go to the General's Mansion with Jia Lian at this moment, otherwise, she would be accused of unfilialism, indifference, clinging to the powerful, etc., and there would be nothing left of the Lin family's century-old reputation up.Daiyu doesn't care, but Lin Ruhai does!

What the old lady Jia didn't expect was that not only Daiyu came, but even Yingchun, Xichun and Youshi also rushed back after receiving the news.

When Daiyu arrived, Yun Baozhou had already arrived with Yingchun.Jia Lian sent Daiyu and sister Qiao to Yimen, and then returned to the outer courtyard to receive Yunbaozhou.Daiyu took Sister Qiao and Qianqian to the Rongqing Hall where Mrs. Jia lived, and met everyone.Daiyu and Yingchun sisters greeted each other, and as soon as they sat down, You Shi rushed back with Jia Yun.

If it was usual, old lady Jia would be very happy to see a room full of people gathered here, but now, she can't laugh at all.

Old lady Jia pulled Daiyu to sit beside her, and said with red eyes, "Yu'er wants to save your second uncle! That's your mother's brother!" When she said this, old lady Jia meant It's pitiful, trembling, with an old man's appearance that Daiyu never imagined would appear on Mrs. Jia...

Not to mention Daiyu, even Yingchun and Youshi were shocked when they heard old lady Jia's words.Youshi moved his lips and didn't dare to say anything, but Yingchun said softly: "Sister Lin is also a boudoir girl, what should I do with this court matter?"

As soon as Yingchun finished speaking, Wang Xifeng sneered, and old lady Jia's knife-like eyes swept over her.Of the two clan wives sent by the clan, one of them said with a smile: "At any rate, the county master will beg the prince, and there will always be a solution." But I love the magistrate very much!"

When the two of them said this, they were smiling all over their faces, and they looked at Daiyu with a hint of awe.

Daiyu only felt bitterness in her mouth, but she couldn't argue with Mrs. Jia at this time, so she laughed softly: "Grandmother is going to rest soon, and it's serious when she's healthy. The things outside have to be done by uncle and cousin. brother."

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Jia heard this, she immediately lowered her face and said, "Yu'er doesn't listen to my old lady anymore? Is it useless to dislike me for being old?" A pair of eagle-like eyes stared at her at the same time. To Daiyu.

Daiyu opened her mouth, and at the moment when she could not speak, the door curtain was lifted by Amber, and Xichun, dressed in paddy field robes and jade hairpin in a bun, walked in against the light.

Seeing Xichun suddenly, even Mrs. Jia was taken aback. After all, since Jia Jing died, Xichun moved to the Muni Nunnery outside the city to observe her filial piety, and Mrs. Jia never saw her again.

Although the old lady Jia raised Xichun by her side before, and she wasn't very close, but after all, she saw each other every day.Now after seeing each other for a long time, Mrs. Jia somehow felt that there was a trace of sharpness on Xichun.

Seeing Xichun coming in, Daiyu didn't have time to reply to Mrs. Jia, and at the same time she was relieved, she stood up to meet Xichun, and said with a smile, "Why did my sister come here? Didn't send anyone to notify me." Yingchun, and Wang Xifeng , You Shi also hurried forward to salute.

Xichun smiled and said, "Isn't today the winter festival? I heard that Uncle is coming back to gather with everyone. I didn't expect it to be so lively. Sister Lin will not pick me up when she comes back."

Xichun replied like this, but she seemed to be ignorant of what was happening in the mansion. The two women sent by the clan didn't know what to say for a while, so they turned their eyes to the old lady Jia.

After Xichun saluted, Old Madam Jia said: "Since I'm back, I'll stay in the mansion. The nunnery is not a long-term thing." Having said this, she paused and continued: "Now that something has happened in the mansion, It’s good to be together as a family.”

Xichun pretended to be ignorant and smiled and said: "Uncle came back to take over the position of patriarch, the clan now has a constitution, it was a good thing, how can the old lady say that something happened."

Old lady Jia froze, not knowing how to explain it.But Wang Xifeng couldn't care about that much, wiped away tears and said: "Isn't it just something wrong? Now that the government is divided, the second master did something wrong, the whole family was arrested!"

Xichun was taken aback, Mrs. Jia's expression was already very ugly, but who was Wang Xifeng?Then he cried: "Our master just returned to Beijing. He didn't know anything, and he was reprimanded by the Holy One for not being strict in family management. Now he said that he was asked to shut up and think about his mistakes. Who knows what punishment will be in the future." Wang Xifeng said while crying, Mrs. Xing also Followed by crying.

Old lady Jia scolded angrily with an ugly face: "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!" After speaking, old lady Jia looked at Daiyu, smiled kindly, and said, "Isn't there still Yu'er here? Can I ignore her uncle?"

Others are afraid of Mrs. Jia, in the past, Wang Xifeng was also afraid, but now Wang Xifeng can't control that much.As soon as the old lady Jia finished speaking, Wang Xifeng said aggrievedly: "It's not that the grandson's daughter-in-law wants to get into trouble on purpose, and it's not that she doesn't trust sister Lin. It's just that my sister doesn't know what the second master has done..."

When Wang Xifeng said this, he looked at Mrs. Jia and said, "I'm afraid it's my sister, but I'm powerless!" Wang Xifeng just finished speaking, seeing Mrs. Jia's face became more and more gloomy, and hurriedly said before Mrs. Jia could speak: "After all, My younger sister is just a nominal county lord, and she's still a girl in a boudoir! Something like that happened before."

Old lady Jia was at a loss for words for a moment, but Daiyu understood what Wang Xifeng meant, and said with a smile: "It's better to send someone to find out what happened to Second Uncle, so we can have a regulation."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu let go of Xichun's hand, squatted on old lady Jia's footsteps, shook old lady Jia's hand and said with a smile: "If you are wronged, Yu'er will naturally not sit idly by." Daiyu looked The old lady Jia paused, and then said: "Even if she goes to the palace to sue, Yu'er is not afraid! She will definitely give the second uncle's family justice!"

Old lady Jia was short of breath, she understood what Daiyu meant, if she was wronged, she would naturally help her.If it wasn't for being wronged, Daiyu wouldn't care about it.

Old lady Jia didn't expect Daiyu to say such a thing. She always thought that as long as she opened her mouth, she would deal with it. Daiyu would also go to the palace to intercede with the palace. Everyone will see if it works or not. On the face of it, Jia Zheng and his family were exonerated.After all, Jia Zheng is a white body without an official or a title.

Mrs. Jia hadn't figured out how to answer Daiyu, so she heard Wang Xifeng snort coldly: "Why else? Could it be that we can still sue them for corrupting Mo Gongzhong? Maybe it's the matter of usury before. It was discovered!"

When Mrs. Jia heard this, she immediately glared at Wang Xifeng.Daiyu exclaimed, "How can people like us do such unreasonable things? Could it be rumors?"

However, Xichun added coldly: "If nothing happens, there must be a reason for it. How come there are no rumors about other people's loan sharks?" He walked to the side and sat down with a look of disdain, his voice He muttered in a moderate way: "It's really embarrassing!"

The old lady Jia was suddenly out of breath, Yuanyang saw that it was not good, and hurried forward to help the old lady Jia.

Seeing this, everyone quickly gathered around, and Daiyu even raised her voice: "Mrs. Tang! Get Lin De to take my post quickly, and ask Dr. Wu to come over."

When Mrs. Jia heard that Daiyu was going to invite her, she was not an ordinary imperial doctor, so she couldn't pretend anymore.Angrily waved away the crowd, took Daiyu's hand and cried, "Yu'er! That's your uncle. When your mother is at home, it's best to be with your mother." Then he cried Get up: "What crime have I done!...Old man!..."

When everyone saw Mrs. Jia crying for the old man, they were busy consoling him again.At this time, Jia Amnesty also went back to the palace.

As soon as Jia Amnesty entered the door, he saw people surrounding Mrs. Jia, making a lot of noise and couldn't make out what they were saying, but it was just such a thing, looking at Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng was also lowering her head and wiping her tears, and said angrily : "What are you arguing about! Do you want the old lady to recuperate?"

No one expected that Jia She would come in at this time. Fortunately, except You Shi, everyone here is Jia She's junior, so there is no need to avoid anything. You Shi has also got up and hid behind the screen, Madam Xing hurriedly greet up.

Jia Amnesty nodded to Mrs. Xing and asked: "Is the old lady okay?" He didn't look at Mrs. Xing as he spoke, he stepped forward in two steps, walked to Mrs. Jia's Luohan bed, bowed and said: "Old lady and Don't worry, there is a son for the things outside!"

The old lady Jia saw that Jia She was back, and just now Jia She spoke and acted differently than she knew, and she heard Jia She let her relax, so she didn't care about crying for the old man, and hurriedly sat up and held Jia She's hand Asked with his hand: "How is your brother's house? Did your majesty say anything?"

Jia Amnesty sneered in his heart: Brother?Why did their family treat me as an older brother?When did you remember that I am your son too?

The old lady Jia didn't care about the sadness in Jia She's eyes, and Daiyu could see it clearly because she was squatting beside the old lady Jia, and sighed in her heart, she hurried forward and saluted, "Yu'er has seen uncle, uncle came in. Is the palace going well?"

Hearing Daiyu's concerned voice, Jia Amnesty raised his head, seeing Daiyu's earnest eyes, which did not seem to be fake, he felt warm in his heart, and understood Jia Lian's feelings more and more, so he forced a smile, nodded at Daiyu and said: "The Holy Majesty reprimanded me for my lack of strict family management, and made me think about my mistakes behind closed doors." At this point, Jia She sighed and said, "wait for the Holy Majesty's order."

As soon as Jia She said this, the old lady Jia's eyes widened and she roared at Jia She: "What do you mean by waiting for the emperor's order? Don't you plan to take care of your younger brother's family?"

Old lady Jia's roar, even though she was more or less prepared in her heart, she was still taken aback.However, Jia Amnesty sighed and said: "Second brother has no official or honor, so he can't think of anything serious. It's nothing more than some money, but if it's gone, let's try to gather some money for him to live on. gone."

Mrs. Jia heard what Jia She said, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Mrs. Wang was greedy for the property of Mr. Mo, and almost emptied the general's family when they separated. There was a lot of trouble with Jia Lian.At this time when Jia She said this, the old lady Jia opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

This time the case was tried very quickly. To the surprise of Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Jia, the verdict for Jia Zheng's family came down before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

When Mrs. Jia heard that Jia Zheng and his wife were sentenced to exile for three thousand miles, even Jia Baoyu would be exiled for a thousand miles, she fainted immediately.

The old lady Jia still wanted to force Daiyu to intercede, but Jia She said with a cold face: "The old lady should think about us too! The old lady still doesn't know what the second brother committed. ? Hiding crime money!"

Jia Amnesty had never been tough in front of Mrs. Jia, let alone speaking so loudly, it made Mrs. Jia stagnate, and it took a long time for her to recover.Jia Amnesty himself took a few deep breaths before saying in a low voice: "The old lady knows the way the Holy Majesty treats the Zhen family, and neither men, women, or children are spared!"

Old lady Jia was shocked!Jia She immediately added: "The second daughter-in-law hid the Zhen family's belongings, the Holy One has already got the evidence, and it took so long, just to catch them all!"

Jia Amnesty's words made the old lady Jia's face turn pale, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a while, but Jia Lian comforted her at this moment: "After all, it is the bones of the family, and my father has no reason to let the second uncle and the whole family ignore it. It's just that now, I'm afraid it won't work, the Holy Majesty is in a fit of anger."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, the old lady Jia held Jia She with tears in her eyes and said, "You must save your brother! Otherwise, I will be ashamed to see my ancestors and my old master when I go underground!" Speaking of which, old lady Jia fell down on the pillow, she closed her eyes and wept, but she didn't say anything else.
