The Red Mansions

Chapter 201 Two Ways for You Shi

I was eating lunch in the room just now, and heard the voice of help, that is, the prisoner who ran out of the house, was stunned when he heard, asked, and raised his eyes to see Jia Heng. My lord, I don't know how to address it?"

Not every official in Shenjing City knows Jia Heng, and the servants in the Jingzhao government office are better, but the prison guards are somewhat unfamiliar with Jia Heng.

At this time, Cai Quan also came over with a few soldiers from the Beijing camp, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing in a daze, this is Mr. Jia who is in charge of the five cities' soldiers and horses!"

When all the jailers heard the words, their complexions changed suddenly, and they saluted one after another.

But at this moment, Second Sister You and Third Sister You, who came from the carriage, stood there in a daze, looking at the young man with a pair of eyes under the beautiful eyebrows.

Third Sister You wore a pink skirt with a slender waist and a girlish bun with bangs. She had a gorgeous face and a fair complexion. There was a peony flower pinned between her temples. Shumei, holding a red handkerchief in her hand, lowered her eyebrows, thinking, "Is he Uncle Heng?"

The second sister You is wearing a skirt with emerald white background. Compared with the round apple face of the third sister You, her face is slightly cut and erect, and her figure is a bit plump. A silver bead hairpin, on that plump, fair and crystal clear jade face, also showed a touch of astonishment, and looked up at the young man.

Jia Heng looked at Youshi, his clear eyes softened a bit, and he said in a gentle voice, "Are you... all right?"

At the beginning, You Shi sent him a note of Jia Zhen's mutual harm and tipped off the news. In essence, this You Shi, known as the "saw-mouthed gourd" in the original book, is not a villain who disregards right and wrong.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward to help Youshi up.

Second Sister You and Third Sister You hurried forward upon hearing this, supported their elder sister, gently patted their backs, and called out: "Sister..."

You Shi's greasy face gradually regained some rosiness, he raised his beautiful eyes, looked at Jia Heng, his eyes were a little complicated, coughed heavily, and said: "Thank you...Master Heng for saving me. "

Jia Heng nodded, glanced at the two girls beside You Shi, who had slightly similar eyebrows and eyes, and thought to himself, it must be the Second Sister You and the Third Sister You.

Second Sister You looked gentle and quiet, with a look of worry on her beautiful face.

The third sister You looked a bit heroic, with a gorgeous complexion, under the slender eyebrows of willow leaves, there was a pair of auspicious phoenix eyes, the smoke looked charming, her face was white and rosy, and there seemed to be a kind of evil in the depths of her eyes. Strong spirit.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "Jia Zhen's temperament is surly, and she suffered a big change, her temperament became more and more extreme. You just saw him, how can you send him off in person?"

You Shi pursed her cherry lips, and the young man's reproach with a bit of concern sounded in his ears, and he murmured: "I..."

On the other side, Jia Zhen was on the ground, she looked up and saw Jia Heng and You Shi talking, a surge of jealousy filled her heart, her pupils were bloodshot, and she roared angrily: "Child Jia Heng, you took everything from me, even if I'm a ghost I won't let you go!"

As he said that, he struggled and wanted to rush towards Jia Heng, but immediately several jailers rushed over and slapped Jia Zhen's swollen face violently several times.

"Why are you so crazy! Do you want to die?" the jailer scolded, and put the heavy shackles on Jia Zhen again.

Jia Heng glanced at Jia Zhen, and he lost the thought of seeing her off, and said in a deep voice: "Take this beast away, and quickly send an officer to escort her on the road!"

As for Jia Zhen, when he was in Shuiyue Nunnery, he had already tampered with her body. Presumably, during the exile, he lived in the wind, slept in the open, bumpy and wandering, so it would be nice to be able to reach Lingnan safely.

As for the wild boar forest, it is not necessary.

Now that his reputation for virtue is spread all over the country, there are people watching him secretly, so it is not easy to do such a thing of extermination.

"Yes, my lord." Hearing the words, several jailers nodded and bowed in response.

At this moment, You Shitan opened his mouth slightly, stretched out a lotus root arm weakly, and said softly: "Wait a minute."

When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he looked at You Shi in surprise.

Youshi sighed softly, and said, "Xiaoyu, take the bag of autumn clothes and coils for him."

he……

With just a pinch, the relationship between husband and wife is broken, and the previous master can no longer speak.

Third Sister You, on that pretty face that is more charming than Huajiao, there is an expression of indignation, and she said in a pretty voice: "Sister, he is going to strangle you to death, and you are going to make money for him?"

"After all, it's a husband and wife. Although he is unkind, I can't be unrighteous." Youshi smiled sadly and said sadly.

Just now, the person next to her pillow wanted to strangle her to death?The relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years is so thin and cold?

Thinking of this, You Shiqiong's nose turned sore, tears could no longer be held back, welling up in her eyes, not long after, crystal clear teardrops were hanging on that pale and haggard sad and beautiful face.

The maid Xiaoyu responded, took off the burden she was carrying, and took it to the official next to Jia Zhen.

The jailer hesitated for a while, looked at Jia Heng, and asked, "My lord, this..."

"Take it on."

Jia Heng waved his hand, his face pale.

At this time, the jailer who heard the news came trotting all the way. He clearly heard the news from here. He walked up to him, his face was terrified, he knelt down, and said: "Xiaguan Jingzhao Mansion Prisoner Lei Ming, I have met Lord Jia."

Jia Heng said: "Prisoner Lei, the people under your command don't pay attention, just now it almost caused a murder case, I want to talk to Mr. Xu when I have time."

Hearing this, Lei Ming's complexion suddenly changed, as if he had been struck by lightning, cold sweat even oozes from his forehead, he walked a few steps on his knees, kowtowed and said: "My lord, it's because the lower officials are not strict, and they almost made a big mistake. Please, my lord, Forgive me."

If this young dignitary told Xu Fu Yin, his black gauze hat would definitely be lost.

Seeing this man bowing his knees and begging so hard, Second Sister You paused for a moment, stared at Jia Heng, and thought to herself, what a young and powerful man.

Third Sister You blinked her beautiful eyes under her willow-leaf slender eyebrows, and her eyes lingered on the tall, cold-tempered young man, Fang also felt somewhat inexplicable.

Jia Heng didn't have much interest in reprimanding the prison officer, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be a kowtow here, and quickly lead the prisoners to send errands."

Hearing the words, Lei Ming, the jailer, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Thank you so much, turn around and leave.

Second Sister You quietly watched this scene, pursing her pink lips.

Jia Heng turned to look at Youshi, lingered on the simple plain clothes on his body, and said: "I have something to tell you, sister-in-law Feng has been talking about you a lot these days, and she said it in front of me. A lot of good words. I know that you left Ning Mansion and your life is also difficult. I will go back and talk to Sister-in-law Feng. In the future, you can withdraw money according to the monthly routine in Ning Mansion, and the money will be transferred from Dong Mansion to Feng. Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Feng will send you the servant girl beside her."

Speaking of which, this is also a reward for Youshi's tip-off.

As for passing through the hands of Sister Feng, it is also to avoid the taboo of Li Xia in the melon field.

Youshi raised his eyes to look at the young man opposite, his cherry lips moved, and he shook his head, "I don't want this money."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then asked: "Why?"

Youshi raised his head and said softly: "Since I have left the Ning Mansion, I should have nothing to do with the Ning Manor. Now what is the meaning of collecting your money?"

Hearing this, Jia Heng was silent again.

Second Sister You listened to the conversation between the two, her face fluctuated, she was thinking, she didn't know if he was careless, she always felt that there seemed to be something unusual in the calm conversation between this young man and her sister .

Third Sister You raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, with suspicion in her heart, she said in a pretty voice: "I don't know what kind of money is given to my elder sister by Master Heng?"

Just now she heard what Jia Zhen said before pinching Eldest Sister's neck, could it be that Eldest Sister is really with this Uncle Heng...

Jia Heng's face was calm, he glanced at Third Sister You, and said: "After all, she is the former head wife of the Ning Mansion. Even though she left the Ning Mansion, she has a relationship with my Jia family, so it's not easy to treat her poorly."

Third Sister You snorted coquettishly, but raised a face that was as gorgeous as peaches and plums, and said with a light smile: "I don't want Master Heng to be so benevolent and kind, but my eldest sister is a good housewife, but she ends up in the current land. Wasn't it thanks to Uncle Heng?"

"Sister, this is all the fault of that person's own fault, and has nothing to do with others." Youshi said quickly, then looked at Jia Heng, and said anxiously: "Just now I want to thank Uncle Heng for his generous help, but my little sister is rude and rude. , if there is any offense, please forgive me, Lord Heng."

Second Sister You also tugged on her sister's skirt sleeves, looked at Jia Heng with a pair of soft and charming eyes, and said softly: "Third Sister is used to being self-willed, Lord Heng has a lot, please forgive me .”

The second sister of the You family had a soft and soft voice, and there was a quiet and gentle temperament flowing silently between her eyebrows and eyes. When she met Jia Heng's gaze, she quickly lowered her eyelids like a frightened deer.

Jia Heng glanced at Third Sister You, and said in a calm voice, "There is no way out of misfortune and fortune. You can only invite yourself. There are right and wrong. You are a little girl. If you don't understand, you can go back and ask your sister... Jia Zhen Does he deserve what he deserves? As for your sister, she is more or less innocent, but when Jia Zhen was the patriarch of Ningguo, when she acted viciously and evilly, your sister was the wife of the imperial court, and she had a good life. You have to be used to eating delicious food, but you also need to be able to eat simple food, ups and downs, just take it lightly."

Third Sister You's heart trembled when she heard the words, Yurong paused slightly, pursed her pink lips, stared at Jia Heng with bright and rippling beautiful eyes, and said softly: "You...you speak so lightly, don't you know?" What kind of life does my sister live at home, the neighbors and neighbors don't talk about gossip, my sister is still worried about that bastard who has no conscience, who can't eat well or sleep well every day. The bastard strangled to death, what kind of life do you think my eldest sister lived in the past, and what kind of life is it now? "

Hearing this, Jia Heng's complexion paused slightly, his eyes darkened a bit, and he looked at Youshi beside him, seeing his haggard face, he pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.

Second Sister You raised her head and said in a soft voice, "Master Heng, this place is not a place to talk, why don't you go to the side to talk."

But I could see some spectators and pointing crowds on the street.

Jia Heng heard the words, nodded, glanced at the sky, and said: "It's already noon, let's go to Xunjia Restaurant to eat and talk."

Youshi Yurong paused slightly, and declined: "Master Lao Heng is so troublesome?"

"No problem." Jia Heng looked up at You Shi, and said, "Get in the carriage first, I remember there is a Four Seas restaurant nearby."

Second Sister You and Third Sister You supported You Shi when they heard the words, and turned back to the carriage.

Jia Heng called Cai Quan and Xie Zaiyi to go to Sihai Restaurant.

Restaurant, in the box on the second floor
Jia Heng called someone to pass a table of banquets, then sat down and looked at the three Youshi sisters.

In fact, the second sister, the third sister and Youshi are not related by blood, they are two girls brought by Mrs. You when she remarried.

Second Sister You raised a timid and soft face, and said softly: "I'm sorry to trouble Master Heng."

Jia Heng said: "It's not worth anything."

The second sister You pursed her pink lips and said softly: "Master Heng, we sisters have our own steelyard in our hearts for the previous matter, so it has nothing to do with Master Heng, and the third sister has never sent a master at home before, no, just now For a moment, I feel sorry for Eldest Sister."

Jia Heng looked at Third Sister You, who was comforting You Shi, at the side. At this time, she was looking at herself with a pair of charming beautiful eyes.

Compared to Second Sister You's shyness, this Third Sister You showed no sign of weakness, her eyes met Jia Heng's.

Jia Heng also looked at Third Sister You with cold and sharp eyes.

After all, the girl was defeated, she looked away, and said softly: "Then Jia Zhen is not a thing, but it has nothing to do with my sister. How can a small family like ours restrain the men outside? Now eat Let alone hang up, I was almost strangled to death just now."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "If I blame your sister, I won't give you a monthly payment."

Third Sister You said in a clear voice, "Then what do you think my sister will do now?"

"What should I do?" Jia Heng frowned and asked.

Third Sister You said softly: "Now that bastard Jia Zhen is being exiled in Lingnan, my eldest sister can't guard him for the rest of his life. Eldest sister has no children under her knees. If she wants to remarry..."

Mrs. You was feeling very sad. Hearing what Third Sister You said, she was both ashamed and angry, and said angrily, "Sister, what are you talking about, I won't marry anyone!"

Her husband is about to go into exile, so where is he thinking about what is there and what is not?

Jia Heng also looked at Third Sister You in amazement, thinking, she is indeed the woman in the original book who dared to play tricks on Jia Zhen, and even stabbed herself with Liu Xianglian's sword.

Third Sister You took Youshi's hand and said softly, "You are suffering, who will suffer? Jia Zhen, that bastard Jia Zhen, he just wanted to kill you!"

"Then I'll cut my hair and become a monk!" Youshi said shamefully and angrily.

Second Sister You hurriedly persuaded: "Elder Sister, if you don't remarry, then don't remarry. Why are you talking nonsense?"

As he said that, he also glared at his third younger sister. It's true that which pot can't be opened and which pot can't be lifted. Even if they remarry, can't they wait a year or two?

At this moment, Third Sister You looked at Jia Heng with her beautiful eyes, and said in a charming voice, "Master Heng, what do you say?"

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "If you want to remarry, just go to the government to find a letter of reconciliation. In the law of the Han Dynasty, there is a reason for reconciliation. Just now, Jia Zhen attempted to commit a murder. The relationship between husband and wife has been broken. You can reconcile. Leave."

"You are used to speaking lightly. Without the permission of your Ningrong Second House, can the government give the letter of Heli?" Third Sister You looked at the young man and said softly: "You are a duke's family, even if it is a crime The patriarch's daughter-in-law will never allow her to remarry."

You Shi only felt that his shameful cheeks were burning hot, and said angrily, "Sanmei, don't talk about it!"

In front of the young man opposite, she said something about remarrying, she... really didn't know how to deal with herself.

"Elder sister, I'm talking about the ugly words first, if I don't catch up with this Master Heng today, what will I do in the future?" Third Sister You raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Are you really going to be widowed for the rest of your life?"

Not only Youshi panicked, but even the second sister felt flushed when she heard what her third sister said.

The point is not the words, it doesn't matter what the three sisters say in private, but now in front of a man.

The third sister in her family is too shameless, what kind of trouble is going on in front of such a young and powerful man?
It has to be said here that in the series of events in which Mrs. You remarried with the two girls, and finally sold the beauty of the second and third sisters You to Jia Zhen and his son in order to live a better life, it can almost be said that in You Er In the family education that Sister and Third Sister You received, it is good to say that they have not been poisoned by feudal ethics, and it is not good to say that they are open-minded, almost like modern women in later generations.

It's just that the second sister has a restrained temperament, the third sister has a fierce temperament, but the second daughter has an imperceptible fierceness in her heart.

As for submitting to Jia Zhen and his son, it can only be said that they are poor people under the oppression of feudal ethics.

Actually, Jia Heng didn't have any prejudice against the You sisters, because instead of condemning Jia Zhen and his son, who were nothing, but casting strange eyes on the two weak women, it didn't make sense.

Not to mention, the second daughter has not hooked up with Jia Zhen yet.

"Even Liu Xianglian disliked Third Sister You's reputation at the beginning, and later Third Sister You regretted her death, but it was too late." Jia Heng's thoughts turned and he suppressed his thoughts.

Then he looked at Third Sister You and said, "Actually, I was going to talk to your sister after a while. Since you asked, I might as well talk to you."

As soon as the words fell, the three pairs of eyes all looked at Jia Heng in unison.

"Now there are two ways. The first way, no matter whether your sister remarries in the future, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion to look for an official there at any time, and in the name of Yijue, ask for a book of reconciliation." Jia Heng paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Ning Rong's Second House will not intervene, that's what I said."

Second Sister You's heart skipped a beat, and the boy's sonorous words echoed in her heart.

And Third Sister You's beautiful eyes were shining, Yurong paused slightly, and asked: "Is there another way?"

Jia Heng nodded, looked at You Shi, and said: "Sister-in-law Feng and my wife and the others meant that you had a difficult life and were innocently implicated. In addition, you lived in Ningguo Mansion for a long time. There is a small courtyard on the west side of the building, where you and the maid are separated... I think you are the wife of the former patriarch after all, and you have helped the clan to preside over ancestor worship and other things, although Jia Zhen is very vicious , but it has nothing to do with you, there is always some hard work. But just now, I heard from your third sister that you may remarry in the future, and it would be unreasonable to live in Ningguo Mansion again...Of course, you and Jia Zhen are separated from each other. Afterwards, the monthly payment will be provided until you find another family.” After Jia Heng finished speaking, he paused and said, “If you feel that you don’t want to reconcile for a while, you can wait for a while, and I will always rely on you It's your mind."

The reason why he showed greater tolerance to Youshi was because of his tip-off.

From the bottom of his heart, he still hopes that Youshi can reconcile with Jia Zhen and find an honest man... Marry a good man, live a good life, and being ordinary is a kind of happiness.

"This..." Hearing Jia Heng's words, Youshi's complexion changed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

It is difficult for anyone to choose, on the one hand, continue to live in Ningguo Mansion and enjoy the glory of the Jia family, although the status is a bit embarrassing.

The other is that there is a chance of remarrying in the future, but although Youshi is desperate for Jia Zhen, how can it be said that he has the idea of ​​remarrying now?
Moreover, just after her husband was exiled to Lingnan, she remarried with Li, which...

After all, she is a woman who has been the wife of Gaoming, even if she comes from a small family, she can't turn around this decent turn all at once.

Third Sister You was thinking about Jia Heng's words in her heart, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the calm young man opposite.

Secretly thought, eldest sister can still live in Ningguo Mansion?

"If you can remarry in the future, it's actually pretty good. It's not worth it to suffer for someone like Jia Zhen." Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Of course, you are in a mess right now, maybe you can't get over it for a while. There is no rush to decide, wait until you figure it out."

Youshi's jade face was pale, and he said sadly: "I'm in a mess right now, please forgive me, Lord Heng."

"Human nature is understandable." Jia Heng picked up the teacup and said lightly, "Let's eat first."

At this time, the man also served the meal.

Third Sister You frowned, smiled sweetly and said: "People say that Uncle Heng is an upright man, I see you today, and I will respect Uncle Heng."

As he spoke, he took a wine cup, poured a glass, and without giving Jia Heng a chance to refuse, he drank it with his neck raised.

"Sister..." Seeing this scene, Second Sister You said softly, "Don't drink so hard."

"It's okay, I'm happy." Third Sister You drank the wine, her white cheeks were flushed, her beautiful eyes looked at the young man opposite her without moving for a moment, she smiled, and said: "I did it, Master Heng is free. "
