Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 123, Dark Cloud Flying: Follow-up of Leaky Night Slave

Mother Jia sentenced the criminal slaves captured by Baoyu to "sell their families to be military slaves in northern Xinjiang". Although relatives and friends were sad, they did not dare to intercede. There are so many corpses of "disrespect" in the yard, which is already a minor offense. penalty.Furthermore, the Duke of the country followed the Tai ~ Ancestor ~ Huang Caomang to raise troops, the slaves born and bred in the old Jia family, who was not a military slave in the ancestors?It's nothing more than returning to its original shape.

The political lord was not happy with the scholar's dealings with the military man, and said: "I will do it. Baoyu is not yet a child, and he is still at the age of school, so he shouldn't get involved in this matter."

Those sin slaves had been sold to the black brothels long ago, how could they let the pedantic idiots get involved.Jia Mu said coldly: "He was caught by Baoyu, so he should sell it. Baoyu has grown up, and he will become an official in the future and sell some slaves. Do you want me to take over?" "Second child, our family is ashamed of the emperor's kindness. Now you are the only one who has entered the court and served for the royal family. You should recover from your injuries quickly. Let the children do small things, and it is right to practice your skills. "

Baoyu continued: "Master, don't worry, the second uncle's old department, the subordinates of Lord Zhongjinghou, can be done by anyone."

Mr. Zheng had no choice but to give up, secretly thinking about how to straighten the family tradition, and then realized that he could only take care of the second room, and the second room was good except for the ones his wife had punished. His children relied on them to support Rongfu. The criminal slaves also rely on them to "make government orders work", and they are all meritorious and deserving, and they are rewarded heavily.

So he turned to think about how to persuade the sick brother, secretly sighing that Lian'er is here, he would think about it if he intervenes, and it is not taboo to persuade his brother to hand over the power of punishment to Lian'er... Cong'er is here!Cong'er is only one year younger than Baoyu, so it's time to do something.

Mr. Zheng's plan is doomed to fail, Mr. She would not buy his account, but he has no strength to train his younger brother, so he just hates letting him go to the martial arts arena to see.Mr. Zheng went to the Ruo Da Martial Arts Field in the East Courtyard to have a look, and the number of healthy servants practicing martial arts here every day has decreased by nearly half!

Why did the guardian warrior sell so much at once?Cha, I didn't sell any of them, and it wasn't like Mrs. Wang sent her servants to the manor to hide in the villa, so the dignified patriarch would not show his weakness.

They went south. Mother Jia felt that Sister Feng was not at home, so she went to visit her eldest son who had been ill for a long time, so nearly half of her healthy servants went south to "respectfully invite" Lian and his wife back to their residence.

Master Xi decided that it was not the daughter-in-law who did not return to the house, but Jia Lian's secret tricks.

Jia's mother was reminded that it was very likely that Lian'er, who was full of bad things, deliberately angered Sister Feng!Otherwise, no matter how small-tempered Sister Feng is, she couldn't be so ignorant, so she agreed to show Da Jinsun a little color.

That night Jia Cong knew about it, he was not in vain being beaten and scolded in front of Master She, and he had a very close friendship with all the servants, it is necessary to know that being tortured together is called "comfort in adversity", which is deeper than other friendships.He immediately informed Baoyu, and Baoyu immediately sent a letter to report to his brother through the Xuejiashang line.

Lian Er is still wandering on the road, and the money he has earned in the past few months is much more than if he stayed in the capital and controlled the remote control.After receiving the book, she turned pale with shock, abandoned her concubine, and rushed to Jinling non-stop to discuss countermeasures with her capable wife who hated seeing each other.

Gossip aside.Mrs. Jia's bloody punishment of the family slaves made the servants of the whole family as silent as cicadas. I remember that the old Jia family had a time when the family style was clean and upright, and it was strict. At that time, the whole family ordered and prohibited it like a military camp. The Jia family had long since been wiped out in the flames of war.

Mrs. Xing experienced such a scene for the first time, and she was so frightened that she didn't remember to ask for an explanation for the housekeeper who was sold.However, she also has a strong resilience. After going back to the house, she changed her clothes and regained her energy. She secretly planned to take the opportunity to sell the house.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Xing is the only one who has really learned the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" in the Rong Mansion, and she has no bitterness and jealousy.She can't understand Mr. She's housemates, because many of them don't even take needles and threads, and they are raised for nothing.

Of course, what she plans to sell is the one in the corner that the master has long forgotten, and she dare not sell it if she can still dangle in front of the master, and she can't sell the beautiful little fox, as the master will not be beautiful one day when he thinks about it.Don't look at the old man who seems to be dying of illness. The imperial doctor said that he should take rest and live for another ten or eight years.Mrs. Xing didn't want to be a widow ahead of time, and with Master Pardon's prestige still around, she didn't have the guts to tease a sick tiger's beard.

Listing out the list of houses available for sale, she thought of Xiang Lian and Yu Ai again. These two distant relatives replaced Jia Cong at Master She's bedside to serve soup and medicine. Few, it is said that the family has bought a new house.

She couldn't help regretting that the youngest concubine sister was also married, so she had to think about which girls from small officials and official families were suitable.Although Xie Meiyin doesn't have much money, he can take Xiang Lian and Yu Ai for his own use.

Because Jia Zhen introduced Xiang Lian Yu Ai to Master She, Mrs. Xing had no idea that they belonged to Bao Yu and Lian Er. How could it be possible to leave things like marrying a daughter-in-law to her?

Why did the family buy a new house?I have a wife!Xianglian's daughter-in-law is Caixia, Baoyu's good girl, and Yuai's daughter-in-law is naturally Lian Er's, she just keeps it a secret from the outside world, since she is still young, there is no need to rush to consummate the house.

Mrs. Xing, who was kept in the dark, became more and more excited as she made plans. She thought that as long as the niece could live up to her expectations, the big house would belong to Xing's daughter in the future, and she would have her own staff both inside and outside.

Mrs. Wang couldn't sleep either, so she wasn't frightened. She was born as a general, so what's the blood?She was planning to take the opportunity to get rid of some unusable slaves, and there were too many slaves in the second room, so troubles would arise sooner or later if they had nothing to do.

In the original book, it was written that Sister Feng wanted to lay off some slaves because of the shortage of her family, but Mrs. Wang was unwilling, saying that there were not many decent girls around the girls, and they were all little girls like little ghosts in the temple.That was the consequence of building the Grand View Garden, spending extravagant pleasures all the way to the house, and being constantly extorted for bribes by the eunuchs because of the virtuous concubine.The Rongfu here is quite ample, far from the point of swollen face to make a fat man, so she naturally has higher requirements for the quality of servants.

"Unusable slaves" are mostly lazy slaves except for those who are incompetent.Slackers can be lazy, and most of them have useful family members or relatives, and it is not easy to get rid of them.Playing the banner of "Fangliang" is useless. Fangliang means that you will never be able to enter the government to seek errands, and you will definitely cry for your father and mother.

After much deliberation, there was no good solution, so she had to make up her mind: Unless their family members had someone who was too useless to leave, they would let them all go!It's a big deal to spend a sum of money to settle them down. Don't they all say that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain?

Because of her bleeding from gritting her teeth, the redundant staff in the second room finally left peacefully.

Her good son, Fake Stone, slept soundly—he drank a large bowl of tea to help sleep and soothe the nerves, so as not to have a dream.

Don't look at the fact that he has yelled and shouted like the leader of the black society in recent years. He has never beaten people to death, and there have been so many.He didn't sympathize with the servants who were beaten to death. Either they died or the master died.From this, think about the person on the dragon chair, wouldn't the descendants of honor and honor be like the servants of the Rong Mansion?The old emperor will definitely not be lenient when he cleans up, so it is imperative for the Rong Mansion to rectify the family style!

In the Yixin Hall, Daiyu and Xichun hug each other trembling and weeping.

Mother Jia wanted to teach them two out, so she wanted them to see what happened tonight.He couldn't see the execution in the courtyard in the main hall, and he was afraid that the two girls would lose their dignity in front of the servants, so he ordered them to stay in the tea pavilion beside the hall.

Xichun was frightened and paralyzed on the spot, fearing that she would lose her voice and scream, the big girl Jia Mu had just sent to her side, Fei Cui, tightly covered her mouth (Qiu Wen was not tuned by Jia Mu, and Jia Mu didn't know if she could stand it. not allowed to come), and then Xichun fainted happily.

Daiyu bit her handkerchief to suppress her shock, she held on and did not fall - two years later she will marry into the Prince's Mansion of Zhongjing County to be the wife of the eldest son, who cares if you can hold on at that time?

Standing strong until the curtain fell, seeing that Xichun was still fainting, she commanded extremely calmly: "Zicuckoo, wake her up with cold tea."

Splashing tea on the face will wet the clothes, Fei Cui said: "No need." Then she slid down Xi Chun's chin, fingering her in the middle.

Xichun wakes up and looks around in a daze.Zijuan said: "Fourth Miss, don't be startled and don't scream. Sister Fei Cui will give you a good chin."

Daiyu felt that she didn't know the two maidservants anymore, she was usually cowardly and cowardly like a vice lady, but now she seems to be old enough to beat and kill people, could it be that beating and killing servants is commonplace in Rongfu?I used to live like a deaf and blind man!

Because she was afraid of the girl, Daiyu dragged Xichun to her residence.

Xichun's cheeks are sore and her eyes are black, and she is afraid that Jade will make her dizzy, and she doesn't want Jade to accompany (essentially?) her back to the Ouxiangxie.After kowtowing to Jia Mu, the two supported each other to the Yixin Hall.

After entering the dormitory, the two finally dared to vent their panic, but they didn't dare to cry loudly, for fear of attracting the nanny to serve: Miss's dormitory has no bars, and servants can enter at any time without pushing the door.

Such forbearance, after a while, Nanny Wang's concerned question still sounded outside the door.Daiyu Youke, the nanny who raised her, has no psychological barriers to acceptance.However, Xichun unexpectedly remembered the famous saying of Bao's second brother, "a servant is the one who watches over you".

The Guaiya was indignant, thinking at one stroke that "ladies from high families are not as good as girls from ordinary families".She thought that she was rich and talented, so what would she want many servants to do after her?That's right, as long as someone like Qiuwen is compatible with him, not someone like Jade who dares to do anything to the master.The partial emerald was given by the old lady, so I can't take it away!

Depressed and frightened, Xichun couldn't get up the next day.Daiyu is also a little top-heavy, and seems to "occasionally feel the wind and cold".It's said that she lasted much longer than Xichun, if not for her good foundation, she might be seriously ill.

Minor ailments require rest, so Xiangyun took Xichun's seat to inspect the Rongxi Hall and the vacant courtyard behind.Xiaoguanzhuang and Hemerocallis Yard are led by sister Qiao to inspect the streets. Well, the little girl can't take the lead, but in fact it is the nanny Zixiao who leads the maid and mother-in-law to inspect. It's safe for Indigo to wait for the clever girl to help.

One day later, "the old lady of Rongfu killed the criminal slaves in the night" spread all over the capital: thirty or forty corpses were buried in random graves outside the city, and a cart with corpses piled on top of each other passed through the city, with "disrespect" erected on the cart The crime card; more than 20 servants were taken to the largest dental shop in the capital to sell, and they were charged with "bullying the young master".

Civil and military officials don't care much about "disrespect", so what qualifications do servants have to commit the crime of "disrespect"?Eighty percent of the charges, who let these rebellious slaves insult the young master, should be killed!

What the masters hate the most is "bullying the young master". It is too common for the young master to be bullied, from a child who is babbling and can't speak clearly, to a girl in his teens who dare not speak up for his face, and Bibi who is plotted against by his servants both.All the Patriarchs can recall a few incidents of being bullied when they were young, so they all applauded.

There are also discordant voices, mainly ridiculing the two masters, She and Zheng, even if one is sick and the other is injured, you are in the mansion, and there is a big slave bullying the master, and you still have to rely on the old mother in her eighties to come forward to be a slave!

Oh, Dafang's children are not in the mansion?No wonder Mr. She sleeps peacefully on the "sick bed", the two brothers didn't see eye to eye since they were young.Mr. Zheng is very dignified, self-denying and respectful, it is too easy for servants to manipulate him.It is said that when he was promoted to the grain department in Shandong, he was knocked down at his own house and broke his leg. He said that it was hit by his three boys, and the kid was only eleven or twelve. .Who do you think is the culprit this time?

The gossipers laughed, although their respective servants may not be honest, it does not hinder the interest of watching other people's jokes, and they have risen to the height of "regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world", saying that the government can even do "the family" No, the sons and daughters were bullied by slaves. Fortunately, he did not go to Shandong to take up his post, otherwise...

"Otherwise" the second prince has overthrown the officialdom in Shandong. Although the fallen are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the "Liangchai" is just a fifth-rank official. If it is a government official, can he hold it back?I am afraid that all the bones have been gnawed away, and the strange Taoist said "stupid people have stupid blessings".

Mr. Zheng You is recovering from his wounds in the mansion, so he can't hear gossip.Baoyu knew that Xue Pan and others would inevitably hang out in teahouses and wine shops when they were doing business, or seek friendship with officials and eunuchs.

Baoyu didn't take it seriously, and the mere gossip won't hurt the muscles or bones. In fact, it's the gossip he wanted, and he hoped that it would reach Jinshang's ears and not give the fake father any more difficult tasks.

Fake Stone has a lot of work to do, and the six people from the government examination came back, all of them fell ill, including Liu Xianglian.Fortunately, it was not a serious illness, and after lying in bed for two days, he recovered, and returned to school with energy to complain endlessly.

It was the first time for Liu Tongxi to take the examination room of the Jiaofu government, and her pitiful face was particularly pale, announcing that there would be no second time!It’s good that the weather in the county test is cold, but the test room of the government test is like a hell on earth, with shit and pee in front and back, ants and flies buzzing, and the smell of pickling can kill people alive!

Qin Zhong and Jia Qin complained even more, as long as they finished one exam, they didn't want to go again: they had already failed the exam, so they definitely won't pass.

They were young, not the eighteen-year-old Liu Jiaoxi, Shan Juren sternly threatened and threatened Liu Jiaoxi, saying that Liu Jiaoxi still insisted on finishing the government exam, and you dare not take it?Brother Qin, your old lady will beat you up!Brother Zhong, I don't care about it, right?Have you ever seen Uncle Zhen beat your brother-in-law?I haven't seen it yet. Let me show you some other day.Go obediently, right as a training ground.

It was okay for Jia Lan and Jia Zhu to go through it twice, but Jia Zhu suffered a bloody misfortune: a student suddenly went crazy, yelling and running while holding a ink-stained brush, Jia Zhu's curly surface was stained, and then Don't finish.This is exactly the last game.Bacteria Children's Shoes couldn't bear the blow and was paralyzed.It is said that his skills are on par with Jia Lan's, so it may not be impossible to rely on hard work.

Jia Lan's position was closer to the crazy student than Jia Jun's, but he opened the golden finger and finished it early, because he couldn't stand the good smell of the examination room and left early.Jia Jun also finished. In order not to write wrong words that should not be wrong, he was concentrating on checking. He was stunned when he heard the roar, and the ink splashed on the surface of the scroll before he knew what happened.

Speaking of the common thing about students going crazy in the imperial examination room, when no one was dragged out of the examination room?I don't know which line the inspectors of this government examination made a mistake, but they all became stupid, resulting in many victims. In the end, the crazy student was knocked unconscious by Liu Xianglian with a knife in his hand!

Yinquan has always been taciturn, and when everyone poured bitter water on the fake stone, they only smiled and nodded to show their agreement.Baoyu reckoned that he did well in the exam, and ordered him to rest for another day before silently reading the paper.

Gossip aside.The helpers returned to the school, and Baoyu felt a lot easier.Accompanying Jia Lan to meet his parents, thanking Shan Juren, Imperial Physician Bao, and giving rewards to Zhang Ruojin and other servants who accompanied Jia Lan in the exam. He has time to bring the article to meet his master and senior brothers.

It is said that Jia Cong sent the edicts to the palace to cry, not Baoyu who was one year older. The purpose was not to let Baoyu help the housekeeper, but to let him study with peace of mind: the concubine is also a concubine, and the concubine should not disturb the scholars according to the ancestral system , Baoyu has the reputation of a scholar.

Mr. Lu Zuo and Mr. Zhang are well-educated, and they didn't ask the fake Shitou Rongfu about killing slaves at night. They only asked him to write ten articles and submit them in half a month. superior.When I came back to Baoyu before, it was also a very easy essay topic, so I asked him to go home and write an essay.Gai Yinlu and Zhang have both met Mr. Zheng and know how amazing his "regularity" is. Mr. She is ill and Jia Tongzhi is not in the mansion. How can a family lack a man who can take care of things?

Baoyu is very grateful, and once again thinks that ancient teachers are better than teachers in the 21st century. It is no wonder that the status of teachers has declined as they go down, all of which are produced by flowing money.Jin Er believes that the ancient system is far from backward than the modern one, and any system is created by man, and its characteristic is that it conforms to the conditions of this era.After the industrial revolution, science and technology became more and more developed, and it became easier for the country to control individual people. Therefore, "all beings are equal" gradually became apparent on the surface, but in essence they became slaves of technology. Individuals were under increasing pressure and the living environment It is rapidly developing towards an uninhabitable place, and it is unknown when the end of the world will come.

He feels that the "relationship between man and nature" in ancient times is much more harmonious than that in the 21st century, and the clan-like control within human beings is vaguely more humane than the cold regulations of the technological age.As for "honor and inferiority", people have the same head on their shoulders, don't think that slaves obey their masters as a matter of course, "a slave who has served an old master is more respectable than a young master" is not the Rongfu family.There is also "male superiority and female inferiority", you dream about big heads, other people don't mention it, the mistresses of the Rong Mansion count as one, no one really treats men the same day, it is the ability to hold a man, like Mrs. Xing who can't hold it Yes, even Mr. She's mother, Mrs. Jia, looked down on her.

Stop whining.Zhanyan saw that the imperial orders sent the concubine of the Supreme Emperor to the imperial mausoleum, and it took more than ten days to come and go.Originally Mrs. Wang wanted to report illness, but the old lady refused, because Mrs. Xing would definitely follow suit, and there was no one in the Rong Mansion to send Concubine Zhen to her mother.

Why did the old lady dare not report her illness when she was crying?Because Mrs. Xing is very enthusiastic about learning and involves the royal family, no matter which one of the old lady and Mrs. Wang has a change, she must follow suit.It's useless to reason with her, she doesn't care about Rongfu.

Mrs. Xing also had no choice, she didn't understand, and Jia's mother looked down on her and didn't teach her anything. She thought that her mother-in-law didn't care about her life or death, so she had to wake up and learn from her.

The day after Mrs. Xing Wang and Mrs. Xing set foot on the road to send the spirit, the old lady fell ill...
