The Red Mansions

Chapter 273
Hearing this, Xue Pan thought that Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing had been caught having an affair, and felt something strange in his heart. Before Jia She could rush out with his sword, he ignored the young man and ran quickly towards the Rongguo Mansion. go.

When they arrived at the Rong Mansion, they yelled: "It's not good, it's not good, Lian's second brother is having an affair with the eldest wife, and the elder brother is going to kill Lian's second brother!"

Following Xue Pan's arrival at Rong Mansion, all the servants and maidservants reported to Jiamu's Courtyard, and some women and maidservants reported to Jiamu's Courtyard.

In Rongqing hall, after washing her hands, she was sitting around two round tables, and Jia Mu was about to pick up chopsticks and spoons.

Looking at Baochai with a smile on her face, she saw that the girl's muscles and bones were smooth and graceful, and she said to Sister Feng with a smile: "Madam Feng, look at Baochai, she has a dignified appearance, she looks like a lucky girl. .”

Sister Feng smiled and said: "When I was not out of the pavilion, I said that Bao girl looks like a pile of snow pear pistils."

There was a simple and honest smile on Baoyu's big face, and he said, "Sister Bao's surname is Xue, so she should have a surname. I don't know if my sister has words or not?"

Daiyu was sipping tea by herself, hearing the words, Daiyu frowned, for some reason, a memory floated up in her heart, "Does my sister have any words?"

Thinking of this, a strange feeling surged in my heart, looking at Baoyu's full moon face full of smiles, the autumn water flickered.

A sense of unreasonable melancholy gradually emerged in my heart, my starry eyes narrowed, but I couldn't help but look at the young man in brocade with a calm face, bowing his head and drinking tea, calmly.

Seemingly aware of this, Jia Heng put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Daiyu, his eyes met, and his eyes softened a bit.

But Daiyu felt that the gentle gaze was a bit scorching, and she didn't dare to look at each other. She frowned slightly, put down her handkerchief, lowered her head, picked up the tea cup on the table, and lowered her head to taste it.

Listening to Jia Mu's praise, Baochai seemed a little ashamed, two blushes appeared on Xueyan's skin, and she also lowered her head slightly.

Facing the elder's praise, he could only smile lightly, but it was not easy to answer casually.

However, with a sudden thought, he raised his bright almond eyes, and glanced at the young man in brocade clothes with a relaxed and unrestrained face. At this moment, the young man slowly put down the teacup, with a calm demeanor, as if aware of his gaze, and nodded at himself .

At this moment, Jia Heng looked silent, glanced at Baochai, then at Daiyu, and thought to himself, the two daughters are indeed enough to tie for the first place in the official book of twelve beauties.

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "The granddaughters and granddaughters of the old lady, I think they are also good-looking and well-educated. The old lady's grandsons are so outstanding, and the girls are also outstanding one by one. How can other people live well."

Listening to this flattering words, Mother Jia had a big smile on her face, and was about to say a few polite words, suddenly a woman from the outside came in in a hurry and said: "Old lady, madam, it's not good, the old man took the sword Chasing and killing Lian Erye, saying that he wants to kill Lian Erye!"

As soon as this remark came out, Rong Qingtang, who was originally laughing and laughing, seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and his eyes shot over him in unison, with expressions of shock, doubt and so on.

"What's going on?" Mother Jia asked anxiously.

Sister Feng got up from her seat, looked at the woman, and asked, "What's the matter with the second master? Why did the elder master pick up his sword and chase after the second master?"

The old lady also knew the advantages and disadvantages, hesitated and hesitated, and seemed afraid to open her mouth, but at this moment, Sister Feng Liu Ye raised her eyebrows and shouted coquettishly: "Quickly tell me, what's going on?"

The mother-in-law said: "It is said that the second master Lian stole his mother and was caught by the elder..."

As soon as this remark came out, patter...

The bowls, chopsticks, and spoons all fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and then the entire Rongqing Hall fell silent, and a needle could be heard!
It's like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, making people extremely anxious.

Stealing a mother with a son is a tragedy of human relations!

As if struck by lightning, Sister Feng felt dark in front of her eyes, her delicate body swayed, and she felt as if the world was spinning, her hands and feet were cold, and her red lips trembled and said: "This...how is it...how did he talk to the eldest wife, I must be Nightmares, yes, nightmares."

Ping'er's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, so he quickly reached out to support Sister Feng's waist, and several servant girls also stepped forward to support Sister Feng.

Jia Mu's complexion was gloomy, her lips were trembling and she couldn't speak, she just felt like she couldn't catch her breath.

Stealing mother, stealing Mrs. Xing?
Such a shocking scandal!
The expressions of the other people in Rongqing Hall also changed, and they were shocked beyond words.

Even a girl who has never been out of the court knows what the simple word "stealing a mother" means.

The smile on Aunt Xue's face froze quickly, and a feeling of absurdity came to her heart. She couldn't help turning her head stiffly, and glanced at Mrs. Wang, but saw that her sister's face was ugly, and her eyes were also full of shock.

Looking at her daughter Baochai again, she saw Baochai frowning slightly, with a look of surprise and doubt in her moist almond eyes, but her plump and beautiful jade face was still full of gentleness. color.

"Injustice." Mother Jia sighed, her face full of bitterness.

However, just when everyone was panicking and didn't know what to do, they heard a "bang", and some cases in the hall seemed to have been photographed.

The people who were originally looking at each other looked at the prestige, but they saw the young man's face was as dark as water, his eyes were cold, and a silent and majestic aura spread out in Rongqing Hall.

Jia Heng frowned slightly, his eyes were indifferent, he stared at the woman closely, and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! Which bastard told you this!"

The old woman met those cold eyes and looked timidly. She knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Yes...it's the young master Biao who just arrived in Beijing! He said he would go to the old man's courtyard to say hello, and he saw you." When the old man is holding a sword to kill the second master Lian, he is talking about a beast that stole his mother!"

Aunt Xue and Baochai: "..."

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng: "???"

Baochai's complexion changed slightly, her brother was involved, she could no longer maintain her composure, she clenched her handkerchief tightly, her face was full of disbelief.

Jia Heng's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he said in a deep voice, "Come here!"

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Xue's body trembled, her face changed suddenly, and she looked at the boy.

At this moment, it's not just Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun and Xichun in the Rongqing Hall are all silently looking at the frosty young man.

Xiangyun's charming and romantic demeanor was gone, Pingguo's round face was rarely serious, he tilted his head slightly, stroked his front hair, and looked at Jia Heng with big eyes like black grapes.

The sudden silence gave this innocent and innocent girl a little more natural and touching expression.

At this moment, Baochai hastily stretched out her hand to comfort Aunt Xue, turned her head to look at the boy with a frosty complexion, pursed her cherry lips, and a hint of worry floated in her moist apricot eyes.

At this moment, Lin Zhixiao and his wife came around from behind the screen.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Take people and bring Xue Pan, Jia Lian and others together, and I want to question them! Anyone who is yelling in the mansion will be clapped first and tied up. Anyone who dares to yell, Twenty sticks! In addition, please invite the elder!"

An indifferent voice resounded in Rongqing Hall, resounding everywhere.

Lin Zhixiao and his wife agreed in unison.

Jia Heng watched Lin Zhixiao and his wife leave, his face became colder and colder.

Even if he is not ashamed of Jia Lian's behavior, but as the patriarch of the Jia clan, he must try his best to minimize its bad influence. After all, the matter of stealing his mother is too appalling.

Although he didn't have much relationship with him who just became the patriarch, but he can't let this kind of rumors spread to the outside world, otherwise it will have a negative impact on the entire Jia clan.

Aunt Xue's face changed suddenly when she heard the words, and she called anxiously: "Brother Heng, Pan'er..."

At this time, Jia Heng glanced back at Aunt Xue, her eyes were indifferent and cold.

When Aunt Xue met that sharp gaze, her heart suddenly felt a sense of fear, her voice was weak and gradually became inaudible.

Baochai's complexion changed slightly, she took her mother's hand lightly, and called out: "Mom, brother heard a few words from somewhere, and he was yelling at the house. You should call brother to come and ask."

She didn't even want her elder brother to just come to Shenjing and poke another basket. This kind of mother-stealing thing, let alone heard a word, even if she saw it with her own eyes, she would quietly go away, pretending not to know.

Some things, even if they are true, can't be said everywhere!

Jia Heng turned his head to look at Jia's mother, and said loudly: "Old lady, it involves the children of the family who have ruined our family's reputation and family style. As the head of the family, I can't ignore it! No matter what, we must investigate and find out the truth, and we can't let rumors mess around. Biography, bad reputation of our family, does the old lady have anything else to say?"

It's not easy for him to say anything else until the matter is inconclusive.

However, he didn't think that Jia Lian would have an affair with Mrs. Xing. Most likely Jia Lian comforted Jia She's aunt in the backyard.

Listening to Jia Heng's handling, Jia's mother acted like a drowning man who had caught his life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "Brother Heng, I will leave this matter to you."

Jia Heng nodded, didn't say much, and waited quietly.

However, an oppressive atmosphere filled Rongqing Hall, and as time passed, the air almost froze like ice.

At this moment, Lin Zhixiao came into the hall and said: "Old lady, Mr. Heng, some young servants and mother-in-law who spread rumors have already caught them. They all said that they heard it from Master Biao. His mouth has already been slapped, and Young Master Biao has also been brought here, right in the courtyard."

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The old lady and others don't go there first, I'll go to the courtyard and ask."

After saying that, she turned to look at Aunt Xue, and said, "It involves Xue Pan, then Aunt and Cousin should come together, Ping'er, help Sister-in-Law Feng to go too."

After all, he is the master of suffering.

When Aunt Xue heard that Xue Pan had brought her, she was very worried. With Baochai's support, she followed Jia Heng.

And Sister Feng, with Ping'er's support, left the Rongqing hall.

At this moment, Xue Pan was being held down by a few servants, and he was struggling, cursing: "You dog slaves, what are you doing with me?! It's Lian's second brother who stole his mother, not me!"

At this moment, under the eaves of the corridor, a few people hula-la came.

When Aunt Xue heard this, her breathing became stagnant, so she didn't faint.

Baochai hurriedly supported Aunt Xue with two maids, Tongxi, Tonggui and Yinger.

Aunt Xue was so angry that she chopped off her feet and scolded angrily: "The evil that has eaten maggots is still there!"

Baochai's complexion was also somewhat unsightly, she stared at her elder brother, bit her lower lip tightly with her white teeth, and clenched the hand holding the handkerchief.

At this moment, Sister Feng listened to Xue's big-headed foolish words, and she was in a state of despair and helplessness, but was completely shaken by the shock, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't know whether she was crying or smiling.

Not only Sister Feng, but also Mother Jia and others who heard Xue Dafool's words through the screen all had ugly faces.

Mother Jia turned her head and saw Tanchun, Yingchun, Xiangyun and others beside her, and she suddenly realized that if she asked some unpleasant things later, it is really inappropriate for these girls who have not left the cabinet to listen, so she told Yuanyang: "Yuanyang, first take Baoyu and the others to my room to rest.

Yuanyang responded, and took a few girls to hide in Jiamu's room.

Tanchun and Daiyu looked at each other, but couldn't say anything, so they had to get up from their seats with Yingchun, Xiangyun, Xichun and others, and went to the inner room.

Jia Heng narrowed his eyes coldly, looked at Xue Pan whose neck was stuck, and said sternly, "Slap him hard! Make him sober!"

Xue Pan: "???"

Aunt Xue: "..."

At this time, a young servant stepped forward, swung his arms round, and "slapped" his mouth.

Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat when she heard the slap, she opened her mouth, and finally let out a sigh.

Baochai's face moved slightly, Xingming's bright eyes flickered, and she looked at the boy complicatedly.

I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and I even felt a... feeling of relief?
Not only Baochai didn't feel the difference, but Jia Mu, who was listening to the sound in Rongqing hall, didn't feel the difference either.

It's only because Xue Pan's words just now are really outrageous. Some words, even if you learn them, are outrageous!
Xue Pan was a little dazed after being slapped by two mouths, but he was also much more honest, especially when he met the cold gaze of the young man standing under the eaves, he lowered his big head.

Jia Heng said: "Xue Pan, did you witness Jia Lian doing those things that violated human relations?"

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Jia Heng fearfully, and said, "This...not really."

Jia Heng asked, "Then why are you shouting everywhere?!"

Xue Pan was speechless for a moment.

What can he say, he just thinks Te Niang's is really exciting?

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, who told you to talk nonsense!"

Xue Pan lowered his big head and buried it in his chest.

After Jia Heng reprimanded him, he ignored Xue Pan.

At this moment, Lin Zhixiao came over from the Moon Gate and said, "Master Heng, Mr. and Mrs. are here."

Jia Amnesty was in a rage when he listened to Lin Zhixiao's invitation, and when he mentioned that Jia Lian had stolen his mother and was exposed in Jia's mother's courtyard, he suddenly felt cold water being poured on his head, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

The ugliness of the house can't be exaggerated!

He hurriedly brought Mrs. Xing over to confess his innocence.

Jia Heng frowned and asked, "Where's Jia Lian?"

As soon as these words came out, Sister Feng's delicate body shook, and she hurriedly looked at Lin Zhixiao.

Lin Zhixiao smiled wryly and said, "Second Master Lian has gone to nowhere at the moment, and he has already asked the boy to look for him."

Jia Heng was silent for a while, and said: "We'll talk about it when we find it."

Now that Sister Feng heard that Jia Lian was missing, she felt a little confused, so she hurriedly said, "Brother Heng, send more people to look for him."

Jia Heng turned his head and glanced at Sister Feng, and said, "It's not appropriate to make too much noise about this matter."

Sister Feng: "..."

That's right, this cover-up can't be covered up, so how can you make such a big fuss?
Otherwise, it would be a naked butt miller, turning around in circles and losing face.

While the few people were talking, they saw Jia She and Mrs. Xing, surrounded by maidservants and mother-in-law, walking quickly along the Chaoshou verandah at the Moon Gate.

When Jia Amnesty saw Jia Heng, he stood still under the eaves of the corridor, his face was ashen, and his anger still persisted.

"My lord, I'm asking you now as the patriarch of the Jia family. Wen Long said that you were holding a sword to kill Jia Lian, and you said something indecent. What's going on?"

Jia Heng looked at Jia Amnesty indifferently, and asked in a deep voice.

Then, he glanced at Mrs. Xing, seeing that she had a calm expression, and there was no abnormality in the corners of her brows and eyes, and thought to herself, it seems that it is not Mrs. Xing.

In fact, Mother Jia breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard the news of Madam Xing coming in the Rongqing Hall, and the feeling of frustration and helplessness eased a lot.

As long as Mrs. Xing is not waiting for the head wife, this matter can still be saved.

Jia She's face was gloomy and angry, and he said in a cold voice: "That bastard, molested Qiu Tong, a big maidservant in my room who didn't show his face! I must beat him to death, that bastard!"

Mrs. Xing snorted coldly, and said: "Although Lian'er is a bit of a jerk, you can't blame him entirely! It is said that there is not even a girl in his room. After several years, there is no movement in the room. Although I am under the knee No child, but not the kind of jealous person. There are too many family members, three concubines and four concubines, so I can’t let Lian’er do it? The man’s son’s house doesn’t even have a girl in the house, so it’s not like a steal Like a greedy cat, you are so angry that you want to fight and kill him!"

Jia She snorted coldly and cursed angrily: "That wicked beast, he has nothing to do, even dare to stretch out his dog's paws!"

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Heng looked deeply and thought to himself, the husband and wife are not stupid, they sang a double reed together to cover up the matter together.

But this method of deceiving oneself and stealing one's ears, although a bit self-deceiving, still serves as a fig leaf to some extent.

But... Qiutong?
Well, this is really the maid in Jia She's room. Later, because of Jia Lian's ability to handle affairs, she gave Jia Lian a concubine.

It's just that Jia She and his wife sang well on the double reed, while Sister Feng's melon-seeded face was as pale as paper, her heart was pierced like a prick, her willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, her red phoenix eyes were tightly closed, and her mouth was slightly open, almost in pain. Can't breathe.

Ping'er and Zhou Rui's family supported Sister Feng, looked at Jia She and Mrs. Xing, and sighed.

Smart people naturally know that this is singing together and causing trouble.
