Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The "Blood Skirt Case" was rumored, but the imperial court had sealed it and could not deal with it immediately, so it would have to be New Year's Eve anyway.So the New Year has passed, and the New Year has passed.

For Baoyu, it saves some troubles. Because the patriarch and his son were listed as "qi sickness" (ashamed to see others), Mr. Zheng couldn't take his son to visit the New Year.So a certain family had to go through the motions with Yuezhang Kong's family and Mei Hanlin's family through the motions, and this family and that family all went through the motions, and no one was in the mood to deal with a young and a half.

But Zhang's family is different. Originally, Zhang Ming's companion, the princess, entered the palace, so he could go through the motions.The scholars were so emotional that they held back a disciple of a certain famous family, from criticizing the extravagant atmosphere in Kyoto to listing the shortcomings of the past dynasties.Fake Stone was forced to sit in on it, and he sighed secretly that it was no wonder that the Zhang family sent someone to teach because he was not suitable to be an official.

When it comes to the ills of previous dynasties, anyone with some common sense knows that it is nothing more than a new style of the new dynasty. The upstarts who fought out from the flames of war suffered from the ills of the previous dynasties and worked hard to cure them.When the days get better and the old ones die, they will be replaced by ancestors, stepping up and down towards extravagance and pleasure. If they can't get over it, the dynasty will quickly decline.

In fact, there is another key reason. I don’t know if the scholars deliberately turned a blind eye to it: population breeding and land annexation.In ancient times, limited by the level of science and technology, grain production was not high, so the per capita land was less than four mu, and chaos arose.In the last dynasties, the annexation of land by tyrants and powers was flourishing, which was synchronized with the pressure of population growth.At this time, there is a natural disaster, and there are flames everywhere, and when people are almost dead, the world will be unified to cultivate life and rest.This dynasty claims to have been founded for a hundred years, but in fact it has been less than sixty years since the war was truly pacified. The powerful annexed land is limited, and the population is still in the stage of seeking a small population, so it has not yet come to an end.But the sign of decline has already appeared. If it is not correct, it will be more than a hundred years, and the life span will be more than two hundred years.

Because the fake stone's state of listening was too obtrusive, Mr. Zhang asked the younger brother-in-law's brother-in-law's brother-in-law to express his opinion by name.

The fake stone is sincere and fearful and can't speak - the teacher is the father, and his first worship in the new year is the teacher, and Lu Yizhong's warning is only two words "don't speak".He obeyed his teacher's orders, he came to his senses, even though the blood skirt case involved hundreds of officials, it cannot be shaken at all.Let’s think about Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, both of whom are fifth rank, and Sun Shaozu’s third rank who is in short supply. Mr. Xi, who has never done anything practical, ranks first. [-]. What is a waste of a few hundred?It can also save a fortune for the court.It should be known that no matter whether it is a full-time job or a virtual job that does not pay salary, you have to think about it every year and holidays.

A certain one's performance was too bad, and it was collectively despised by the scholars.

Second Master Bao took the opportunity to say goodbye, and went to the places he had to visit, including Yunguang's temporary residence (Yun's family is not from the capital, and there is no permanent property in Beijing, Yunguang just went to Beijing to report on his work).Unexpectedly, Yun Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, and all the famous people on the blood skirts closed their doors to thank guests, saving a lot of fake stones.

Because these families closed their doors to thank guests, it was impossible to determine which people died in Shuiyue Nunnery.

Baoyu can be sure that Sun Shaozu must die. Who let him live in Shabaotou's territory?The servants of the Sun family have reported to Datong Mansion in tears.Then there is Yun Guang, who has a closer relationship with the Rong Mansion, and the servants of the Rong Mansion learned from his servants that he did not go home for the New Year.

As for the former prefect of Chang'an who had a relative in the yamen and caused Brother Jin's tragedy, he was not involved in the case: Li Yanei died long ago, and the prefect lost his position two years ago, and his family returned to their original place.

Mrs. Jingxu did not die in Shuiyue Nunnery. A few days before the incident, the concubine of a certain county king gave birth to a daughter. Jingxu took Zhiyuan and other aunts to the county palace to recite the blood basin sutra for seven days.

Baoyu didn't bother to guess the inner mystery of the Jingxuli nunnery. It would be easier for her to die quickly like this kind of thief nun.

Zhang Hua's whereabouts are unknown, and Baoyu has withdrawn the people who were monitoring this guy long ago, so there is no reason to look for him now, the blood~skirt case is raging, and the person surnamed Zhang is related to Third Sister You and Sun Shaozu, and it is too late to avoid it.

Seeing that the weather is not suitable for New Year's greetings, the fake stone turns around to visit cousin Xue's family who doesn't need to talk about etiquette.

The "Blood ~ Skirt Case" had nothing to do with the Xue family. It is hateful that the eldest father and son of the Jia family are on the list, and the Jia family is the Xue family's in-laws.When Xue Pan went out to pay New Year's greetings, the good-natured fellow asked him three times and four times, and he was so angry that he was "well".

The second master Bao didn't need to report when he arrived, so he drove straight into the yard where cousin Pan was "recovering from illness", and then heard a certain dat roaring to welcome the spring like a rainbow: "...you are the big grandma! You are the grandma in charge! Then open the room and lift up the grandpa's feet." sold……"

Baoyu secretly marveled, isn't Pan Dadai the best? Does Se like Tongfang the most?

This matter, let people change with the situation.Xue Pan is not Lian Er's kind of self-cultivated bastard. Lord Lian is so good. He is already lustful. Master Pan is a thick-sighted person who can't put too many things in his mind. Nowadays, there are many things that make him care. It faded in the middle.Besides, how did his good father-in-law fall down?He doesn't want to be fooled!When Yingchunhuai was a child, he arranged two beautiful Tongfang for him according to Xue Wang's wishes. Later, when Baochai got married, he was so angry that he couldn't do anything to his mother, so he sold the Tongfang to vent his anger.Now that Yingchun is on the way again, and according to her mother-in-law's order, Xue Pan has arranged two Qiaotongfangs again. He was furious.

Baoyu knew that Yingchun was timid, and was afraid that she would not be able to bear the roar, so he quickly pulled out a long smile to greet her.

Pan Dadai yelled a few times when he had nothing to do, Yingchun was lucky to be numb, and today it was not like Baochai's marriage meeting. He was secretly supporting her husband and happy, and shyly bowed his head and said to make tea.

Pan Da stared at the bell in a daze and scolded the maidservant as a dead woman, and asked the pregnant grandma to make tea.

Baoyu is busy doing good and bad, and takes out the birthday gift for cousin Bao to make cousin Pan happy.

Second Master Bao didn’t bring a New Year’s present to Xue’s family today, because the gift for Baochai was a little too much: Baochai got married on the 23rd of the first month, and her birthday was the 21st of the first month, the birthday of the last girl. Of course I want to show it.

Speaking of Baochai's marriage, she was really delayed by Xue Wang. A girl from a respectable family should get engaged and get married every two years, and Baochai will become an old girl after delaying.Fortunately, merchants are not very particular, and the Hu family is looking forward to welcoming a virtuous daughter-in-law.

Cousin Pan became even more angry when he saw a pile of presents, and complained, he was so angry with his mother today!

It is said that when the wedding is approaching, Baochai will go home to prepare for marriage, and Baoqin will accompany her, but Xue Wang is dissatisfied with Baochai's marriage, and once again sighs in front of Xue Pan that Baochai is not as good as Baoqin, and mentions a certain A missed third-rank general.

Don't mention how annoying Xue Pan's cold neighbors are, that Sun Shaozu is even more on the official list!Fearing that he would offend his mother, he turned around and ran back to his yard.He really didn't understand, he wanted to take good care of his mother, why was his mother always afraid that he would not kill him?

Baoyu asked, "Did you tell my aunt about Sun Shaozu?"

Xue Pan sighed: "Those dirty things are not something women and Taoists can listen to."

Baoyu laughed and said, "My aunt is not an ordinary woman. I'm going to kowtow to my aunt. Why don't I just say a few words? Otherwise, she will always be upset about Cousin Bao's marriage, and it's not good for her body."

Xue Pan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's good, your mouth is much smarter than mine."

So the two went to see Mrs. Xue.At this time, there were no outsiders coming to the door, and the three of Xue's family were chatting about jewelry in the warm pavilion.

Xue Wang's kung fu on the scene was one-on-one, and when he saw Bao's nephew, who he didn't want to see, he was full of joy: "My son! It's so cold, it's hard for you to come here now! Kowtow, New Year's greetings are just a vain gift ! Hurry up and sit on the kang!"

Baochai and Baoqin hurriedly went down to the kang to salute, saying that if they didn't come down, Bao brothers would never go to the kang, and that the girl's family could not stay in the same room with the "outsider" (Xue Pan winked fiercely), and they walked away smilingly.

Baoyu ordered the four servants to present Baochai's birthday present to his aunt for review. Mrs. Xue said that she wanted to, and then asked about Mr. Zheng's health, Mrs. Wang's meal, and so on.

Baoyu answered with a smile, and spared the words to go to Mei Hanlin's house to pay New Year's greetings, secretly talking about the shabby spirit of Mei's house.

Wang Xue suddenly felt relieved. In fact, she could see the Mei family in any way, but she was better than the merchant Hu's family.

Baoyu also mentioned Grandma You's second younger sister, saying that she was planning to marry a certain third-rank general, but somehow she became a concubine.

Xue Wang's smile couldn't help but fade a bit: Although Grandma You's younger sister is a step-sister, her status is higher than that of a merchant girl. If the second sister You is a nun, it is even more impossible for Baochai to marry.Only Baochai was going to the palace, but her brother-in-law's family ruined things... Alas, it was unexpected that Sister Xue was rejected in the draft, and Baochai couldn't enter the palace with her.But to be a concubine head office in the palace, as long as Mrs. Jia is willing to help.

Baoyu knew the thoughts of Wang Xue's mother and daughter a long time ago, and she never planned to let them bring disaster to Rongfu, but now that Baochai is getting married soon, there is no need to worry about the past.So he went on to say, "I heard that a certain third-rank general didn't go home for the New Year, and his servants hurriedly reported to Datong. I don't know what happened." Yunyun.

Xue Wang's smile froze, and she was not the "safe housewife" that Pan Dadai hoped for, and the blood~skirt case was rumored all over the capital, how could she not know?It is said that all the officials who did not go home for the New Year are afraid that they will be suspended.It's not surprising that she didn't know that Sun Shaozu was among them at first. Among all the officials, Sun Shaozu Ding, a vacant official from other provinces who had no real job in Beijing, was inconspicuous. He was not Jia Zhen. , still wearing the halo of the head of the clan.

Baoyu accepts it when he sees it, and turns to talk about how he saw Xue's shop when he passed by the market. He praised Pan's cousin, who is young and capable, and he is good at choosing and rejecting. A true gentleman is a real gentleman, and a man who seeks wealth within righteousness."

Pan Dadai blushed a little rarely, but felt that Cousin Bao was not exaggerating. Taking Baochai's marriage as an example, if he didn't know how to choose, he would do whatever his mother said, and the only sister would be in a terrible situation.The mother didn't know, but he knew that the second sister Nayou had died tragically!If there is Baoqin again, it will definitely be hard to bear in the future, but it is a pity that the uncle betrothed her, and there is nothing he and Xue Biao can do.

Xue Wang didn't take Bao's nephew's words seriously, and praised Xue Pan a lot in front of her, one or two tongues were like lotus blossoms, so he could only listen to it.But there is no mother who doesn't like to hear people praise her son, and for a while she sheds some of her dislike for Bao's nephew.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Flash forward to the eighth day of the first lunar month, today Lian Er went out to pay New Year's greetings, and Baoyu sat in the mansion.

There is no other way, who made Mr. She unable to meet foreigners and Mr. Zheng shameless to meet foreigners, so they had no choice but to receive male guests who came to pay New Year's greetings.You ask the Jialan children's shoes of the cursive generation?They have accompanied the students who take the county test to Jing County.

In the late afternoon (after two o'clock), the East Hospital was overjoyed: Aunt Xing gave birth to a pair of twins, both boys!

Xing Xiuyan is really blessed. It is necessary to know that twins fall into grass earlier than singles. Now it is "true" that she was conceived before the concubine's filial piety.However, the Zhen family has been destroyed, so it doesn't matter if there is no one to find out whether it is forbidden or not.

Lian Er was not in the mansion, and Baoyu went to visit on behalf of his elder brother. Everyone in the East Court argued that the second son was "born with different appearances".

Baoyu was slightly startled, and when he asked, it turned out that only the two babies had birthmarks, and they were born right between the eyebrows.

When he arrived at Mrs. Xing's main room, he didn't dare to hold the two wrinkled monkey cubs, but just watched them carefully.

Cha, not as good as the tear-red mole on Yinglian's forehead, it is purple, the elder brother's mole is slightly darker, and the second brother's is light, it is unknown whether it will disappear as it grows up.

Holding a low-key principle, he smiled and said to Mrs. Xing: "It is said that children should be raised cheaply, and it is better not to mention 'born with different phases'. There is no need to invite three disasters and nine disasters."

Mrs. Xing agreed very much, she was so happy that she didn't know that all the sycophants were careless, so she immediately recruited servants and severely punished them.

After about an hour, Lian Er rushed back excitedly. It happened that he had lunch at a certain house with coriander, which was rarely seen in this season. After seeing it, he said happily: "This mole looks like coriander (another name for coriander) flowers, and the big one is called cilantro. Brother, the younger one is called Brother Xian."

Mrs. Xing was very displeased, that's why Brother Jiang got his name from Luocao, it's gone!So he said: "You are outrageous, your father hasn't spoken yet, you have become famous! It's just a concubine's son, let's talk about it when he grows up to three years old!"

Lian Er knew what she was jealous of, and he didn't take it seriously: Jiang Geer was young and strong and blessed, and he was destined to die. Now he is recorded in the name of Wang Ren's wife, and he has become the most expensive great-grandson of the prince. He is named Wang Cheng. , I don't know if there is a king's order (Cheng Tongcheng).

Master Xi didn't get angry with Lian Er's presumptuousness, but affirmed it when he "casually" said that he gave the two children a nickname: "That's it, I'm a cursive generation, and it doesn't matter if I go to the family tree."

It is said that the only proud thing in this generation of Rongfu's patriarch in this life is the word "the eldest son", so he attaches great importance to his concubine, and even if he is a good concubine, he is not a bit worse than his concubine in his heart.I hated why Sister Feng didn't die quickly. Lian Er would either remarry and have a son as soon as possible, or simply straighten Aunt Xing, and his old man would have a grandson.

Xing Xiuyan didn't know anything about these things, she was confinement wholeheartedly.Mrs. Xing has long said that this child, regardless of gender, will be placed with her grandmother. Xing Xiuyan only needs to take care of her body before conceiving, and try to have another child or two before Sister Feng dies.If there are too many children, Lian Er has his own calculations. If he marries again, the woman will most likely not be able to lay eggs.If not, she also has a way to keep her from getting out!

Mother Jia didn't care about the big house's celebration, but it was a concubine who gave birth to children. Her big golden grandson made it clear that having more children is a blessing, how much do you want?If it weren't for Sister Feng's being too forceful and happy to take care of things, there would definitely be more than a couple of sons and daughters.What bothers her now is her granddaughter, Jia Zhen and his son who don't cultivate are so shameless, Daiyu may not be able to live in the Rong Mansion, and move to another courtyard as a dowry, she is really reluctant and wants to go with her, anyway, Daiyu He will leave the cabinet in February next year.The more she thinks about it, the more she thinks it is feasible. When the snow melts, it will be the end of February and the beginning of March. She will go to her granddaughter's other hospital for a few months after being "ill" and then return to her residence for a few days before going back to another hospital for a year. It passed quickly.

Whether or not Daiyu will leave, and when, is not a matter of heavy snowflying.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the seal of the court was opened, and once the court was opened, the emperor sent three sacred edicts——

The first one deposed and dismissed more than a hundred Beijing officials, none of which was related to the blood skirt case, but everyone knew that all of them had real positions on the "prostitution official list".Entrusting the emperor with great kindness and great virtue and compassion, no official was imprisoned.So no one appeals for injustice, and it is necessary to know that a thorough investigation is really a "judgment first and then a trial without injustice".

The second oracle is that the Procuratorate sentenced the original Shuiyuean master Jing Xu to "behead and execute" for murdering officials and servants (the Shuiyuean arson case fell on her head, and no one complained for her).

The third oracle is translated into vernacular: women under [-] are not allowed to leave home (in ancient times, women over [-] were called "po", and concubines in the harem did not go to bed after [-]), and nuns under [-] in Fanni Temple Taoist nun, the official government revoked the degree certificate and ordered her to return to vulgarity. If she has a family, she will return home, and if she has no family, she will be married by official media from all over the country.Three months after the edict was issued, there were still young aunts in Anguan. Once it was verified, none of the people in Anguan were servants of officials, and they were sold by the government.

As soon as this oracle came out, something happened in the family nunnery of Rongfu: Miaoyu issued a certificate of limitless practice, and Hechen and Wisdom had it.

The author has something to say: You read that right, the one pulling is the emperor's throne.The case of the bloody skirt of the horse was settled in twos and twos!

Spoiler: The blood skirt case will only be suppressed temporarily, such a big case... It is impossible for Ning Rong and the Second House to escape in one fell swoop
