Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The family in the Ning Mansion is playing tricks, neither giving money nor dividing the lineage. I haven't seen the mistress, Grandma You, all in good order?

But if you are lazy, you have to pretend to be poor. In early April, Jia Daicheng, an elder from the Ningfu lineage, returned to the west. His family was quite well-off, but after only seven days of ceremonies, he led spirits to Tiekan Temple. His children and grandchildren were unfilial!

Lian and Bao took a look, and the sect that Rongqiang promised disappeared, and the help faded away.

The two young masters of the Ning Mansion were poor, and they returned 44 taels of imperial silver in April, and [-] taels of Yu Yin in May.In their hearts, they felt that the royal family should also let the Ning Mansion take a breather. They had already paid back [-] taels of snowflake silver, which was less than half of the [-] taels.

On June [-]th, Xue Xia's two business lines arrived in Beijing on the same day with a letter sent by Feige: Jia Zhen traveled to the Qinhuai River and was involved in a murder case and was detained by the government.

Speaking of it, Patriarch Zhen is really wronged, he doesn't like to go out to play, because of You Sanjie, he entered Shuiyue Nunnery, and was listed on the official list of prostitutes; he occasionally went to the Qinhuai River, not for prostitution or for dinner, and was involved in a murder case!This is called self-retribution in the dark, good and evil will not be repaid, and crooked retribution will be repaid.

How did Jia Zhen run to the Qinhuai River for a treat?Alas, although the ancestral village has been rebuilt, the land is too remote, and none of the local girls can see it.Fortunately, he had the foresight to renovate the main house of the old house by his servants who went to Jinling in the old year.

The old house was specially prepared by the Duke of the State for future generations. There is no sign of excess. As long as there is someone in the family who is not a white man, such as a scholar, or a donated junior official, then he can live in it.

When patriarch Zhen lives in the old house, it is indispensable to meet relatives and friends quietly.Sister Feng, who suffers from tuberculosis, lives in the old house of the Rong Mansion across the street. She cannot come, and the Wang brothers will not come if they are not good. Although the "Blood Skirt Case" was concluded by the emperor, the rumors could not be stopped, and the whole country was rumored. The brothers of the Wang family knew that Zhen's patriarch was on the list, and they must be relieved.

Jia Zhen is depressed, he doesn't like to go out to play, but it's not that he never goes out ~ whoring, he has been to a nunnery before, so he doesn't remember Jia Qiang.

He was depressed because Youshi and his nephew's letters contradicted each other, but they didn't say anything to make him feel comfortable. His wife asked him to give up the position of patriarch, and Rong Qiang listed the benefits of branching. To be tainted, if you divide the Zong, you can get the care of the Rong Mansion. If you don't divide the Zong Rong Mansion, you will definitely stand by and watch. Anyway, it's just a bad reputation. "Three generations of innocence" before you can become an official refers to your own family. It seems that the second room of the Rong Mansion is Jia Zheng's family, not No one in the whole family was convicted.

Jia Zhen didn't want to divide the clan, didn't want to give up the position of patriarch, and didn't even want to return the imperial silver.He knew that once the emperor's silver was returned, many old friends would be broken, so he coincidentally agreed with Lian and Bao, and quietly ordered Jia Qiang to be the first to return the silver.

The more they talked, the more bored they became, so the brothers of the Wang family asked Patriarch Zhen to go out for a drink or two to relax.Of course, the Wang family is poor, so they invited Patriarch Zhen to pay the bill.Any restaurant in Jinling can be said to be a "Qinhuai River restaurant". They specially found a remote place with a window facing the Yangtze River with a good view, and they can see the boats passing by on the river.

Unexpectedly, he met the Jianghu to seek revenge, unexpectedly, the arrest came quickly, unexpectedly, the hero captured all the diners as hostages!When the hostages are rescued by the government soldiers and horses, the Wang family brothers are fine, but Jia Zhen has a big deal: respecting filial piety, going to a restaurant?

Originally, it was not considered a major event, but it would be settled after being beaten and handed over to the clan for treatment.But Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family, and she is still a third-rank general, and what's worse is that she is on the "prostitution~official list".The current Yingtianfu and the four major families are not old, and they immediately reported to the court that officials of the third rank and above need to be sanctioned.

But when Lian and Bao received the report, Lian Erli called Rongqiang's two nephews and gave them a stack of criminal evidence.It's not from the direct branch of the Ning Mansion, but from the Ning Mansion's lineage who have the right to speak in the clan.

Rong Qiang did everything she could, and the second young master was about to go crazy: What's such a trivial matter as going to a restaurant to eat?It's all because of the two consecutive months of declining recruits for the Emperor's Bank!

Brother Qiang took the incriminating evidence and went to threaten, while Brother Rong went back to the house to find You Shi to settle the score.

You said Rong Qiang has achieved what the Rong Mansion hoped, so the Rong Mansion has the ability to protect Jia Zhen?have!The matter was recruited by the brothers of the Wang family. Although Wang Ziteng had no real power, he accompanied the Supreme Emperor, and he opened his mouth to ensure that an old dude would not be unable to do it.

When Lian Er saw his wife and uncle, Baoyu looked for his uncle, and had to wait for Rongqiang to finish the job.

But said You Shi was overjoyed to hear that her husband was guilty of unfilial piety!Now he will definitely not be the patriarch, and everything will be out of control.

Of course she would not show it on her face, crying and saying: "You are unfilial! Your father is in prison, and you still have the heart to split the lineage? The yamen servants always treat people like pigs and dogs. Hurry up and go to Jinling to do something! Even if you want to divide, wait until your father is out of prison! Could it be that you want your father to die in prison so that you can become the head of the house immediately?"

Brother Rong sneered: "You're the one who pointed out that my father died, so that I could remarry with my Jia family wealth! Don't dream! Master, if something happens, you're the one who killed him!"

His wife, Xu, wept loudly. She didn't love her father-in-law too much, but she knew about her own family affairs. She estimated that once her father-in-law died, her husband would turn around and divorce her as an unclean woman.So he did not order to kowtow to Mrs. You, and said, "Madam, please forgive me! What's the use of my uncle going to Jinling? If you want my master to be fine, Rong Mansion must intervene. Rong Mansion is going to divide the clan, so let's do it!"

Youshi is angry, she has a lot of contacts with Mrs. Xing, but she never heard Mrs. Xing mention a branch! (That is, Mrs. Xing doesn't care about the division of clans at all. She is only worried about her two little grandchildren, one with a runny nose and the other with a sneeze).

Brother Qiang was smoother than his brother Rong, who didn't have any troubles?In addition, they have understood in the past half a year that Zongrong Mansion will not care about them. To Rongfu, they are offshoots of offshoots, and many of them have been out of five clothes.

It's just that there are many trifles in the division of clans. Although the two mansions of Ningrong and Rong have their own affairs, Jinling has a sacrifice field, and there is also the family property "Eastern Province Land" owned by the second mansion of Ningrong. The "poor family's relatives' property came from Zhuangzi in Eastern Province.Due to the large number of people, not many were allocated, so the Rong Mansion has always subsidized its own lineage.Ning's lineage has long been jealous, clamoring that the "Eastern Province's land" is only the property of the eldest son, and Ning Qi Rongsan is the one who sacrificed the land in Jinling.

Lian and Bao couldn't see it, Mrs. Wang didn't care about it, and Jia's mother didn't care. When will Rongfu live on that point?Mrs. Duxing was not angry, and quietly complained to Master She.Mr. She was angry because he was not happy about the division of the clan. It was clear that he was unable to be the head of the clan after the division, but Jia Zhen knew how to honor him better than Jia Lian, so she called Lian Er to scold him with her sick body.

Lian Er can't help but argue that "it is the Ning Mansion that needs to be divided".Knowing a son is like a father, forgive the master for not believing a word, and order to divide according to the ancestor's family law.

According to the family law of the ancestors, it would be troublesome, and the "Eastern Province Land" Rong Mansion also had to occupy three points.Lian and Bao wished they could get along early, and privately negotiated with Rong Qiang to use a better farm elsewhere as compensation.Rong Qiang was very happy, but it was a bit tricky to let the relatives know about it, but not get it to Master Xi's ears.

Fast forward to June, and on the first day of July, Sheng Enlong came to Ningfu, and the imperial decree was deleted and simplified: Jia Zhen, as a hereditary employee, was not filial or fraternal, dismissed from her post, and handed over to the clan!The post of "General Wei Lie of the third rank" was inherited by Jia Qiang, the great-great-great-grandson of Duke Ning Guo.

Look, the trick is "the descending of the Holy Grace". It is necessary to know that the grass-word generation has no nobles to attack, and the Holy One insisted on turning the five generations of grace into six generations.

Well, the relationship with the Ning Mansion is far less important than the relationship with the Rong Mansion. It was Long En who was recruited by Lian Er.

It is said that the Rong Mansion of the concubine Yuan concubine offered the red brick firing method, and the emperor didn't pay much attention to the craftsman's tricks. It was the Ministry of Industry that the red brick was good. After reviewing Xiaoguanzhuang, the memorial please build a disaster relief red Room.The emperor saw that he would not need a few words, so he ordered to build houses in various places.

Last winter the snow disaster came back, but the number of dead people was much less than before. Now the emperor took a high look and ordered Jinyi Mansion to investigate "Jia Lian, the five-rank Tongzhi who supervised the construction of Xiaoguanzhuang".

So many of Lian Er's tricks~ When the emperor was exposed, the emperor thought that this person was available, but if there was an adulterous official in the clan today, and a bullying dude tomorrow, the censor would definitely join an official who "governed the family laxly" ", so dragged down.Seeing that the branch of the old Jia's family was gossiping endlessly, it is gratifying that Jia Zhen wanted to "swim the Qinhuai River" to death, so she pushed her.

Because the matter involved Jia Daihua, the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, I went to slander him today.

There are many loyal confidants of the Supreme Emperor, and the distant past of a certain family can't be clearly remembered, so they directly attribute the non-existing eldest branch of the Ning Mansion to "seizing the throne".The old man hated this incident the most, and ordered the son emperor to deal with it again and "return the honor to the eldest son".

Today, I have ordered people to check the files, and know that it has nothing to do with seizing the heir: Jia Fu, the eldest son, died when Jia Daihua died. this branch.

In this way, the emperor ignored the "heavy punishment" and just returned the title to a certain kid who couldn't inherit the title. What is a third-rank false title in the eyes of the emperor?Of course, the title cannot be given in vain, the imperial decree hints very strongly.

The eunuch who passed the decree deeply understood the sacred heart, and gave Jia Rong an almost explicit "hint".

Jia Rong is so smart, when he heard the "Fifth Rank Defense", he knew he was going to go back to his hometown, but he had to know that his original title of "Long Banwei" had no purpose not to go out of Beijing.This is also the reason why he didn't rush to Jinling to save his father. In the past, there were many people who violated the ban with only false titles, and he didn't dare to play with fire at this juncture.

"Go to Jinling to listen to the tune within the year", which is obviously to give them time to divide the clan.

Rong Qiang hated You Shi deeply, and the first thing she did after receiving the decree was to go to the largest bank in the capital. General Qiang, as a lord, borrowed 60 Liang from the mansion of Ning Mansion and paid off the imperial silver in one fell swoop.

The next day, Jia Rong took Yin and led his servants to Jinling to meet his father.You Shi and Xu Shi wanted to follow behind, but Uncle Rong didn't take any of them.Uncle Qiang stayed in Beijing to preside over the branch sect, and begged relatives and friends to sell the mansion.

It's easy to talk about the division of the clan, and it's already discussed. Besides, the former patriarch "handed over the clan's control". Could it be that the Rongfu got involved?Duke Ning stepped on it with embarrassment.The only thing is: what about the children who are studying in the private school?

Lian and Bao are very good at talking, and they were originally from the same root. Go on, the students of the attached school used to account for a small half, but now they account for the majority.If someone wants to go to Jinling, those who are over ten years old can study in the family school, but they have to stay with the servants to take care of them.It’s not that the Rong Mansion is so petty that even a few servants care about it, but that after the division of the clan, Qiang’s official position as General Rong Rong’s garrison is hung in Jinling. In the future, the Ning Mansion will go back to his hometown for the examination of the County Examination Institute. It’s such a long way, my child You are so small, the Rong Mansion dare not take responsibility, and ask your own servants to pick you up.

After hearing this, most of the people in the Ning family wanted to go back to their hometown: if they are not sure, they are the seeds of study. If they are a little older, they will go all the way back to Jinling to go to the examination room, how can they rest assured?

Jinrong's aunt, Grandma Huang, was different. She didn't want to leave Beijing, and wanted to send her five-year-old son to a free school.

Jin Rong was in a hurry, gritted his teeth and bled, and begged Brother Pan to sell him sixty acres of good land in Jinling.

Jia Huang's family had no permanent property for a long time, and they were delighted to receive the land deed from ear to ear. The old house has a room for them to live in. If they have a house and a field, they would be fools not to go to Jinling.

Jin Rong's generosity is obviously a good aunt's suspicion, and the Jin family's house is restless because of frequent disturbances.Now that the Jin family has made great progress, they can't stand her being a demon moth!It doesn't matter if he is just a businessman, but the Jin family gave birth to a child this year, so it will save face.

Jin Tongsheng was Jin Zhi, the cousin of Jin Rong who was separated by three clothes.Jin Rong thought it was him who confessed, but in fact he just picked a hot stove with cold hands. Jin Zhiyuan had passed the government examination twice.Last year, Zhi's father was seriously ill, and Jin Zhi saw that she couldn't afford to read books. Jin Rong asked the doctor to donate money, and asked the treasurer to join Xu Jinzhi's school. As a result, the family school also picked a cheap one, and Jin Zhi was admitted to Tongsheng in one fell swoop.Uh, this year Jia's private school has three children, and the other two are Jia Zhu and Qin Zhong, and the results of the college examination have not yet been announced.

Far away.But it is said that other people's families are a bit entangled, which is not a big deal, but You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are panicked, where will they live when the house is sold?Although there is Zhuangzi, who knows if Jia Qiang will be black-hearted and sell it?

She had no choice but to cry to Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing was very sympathetic. Her friendship with You Shi began when she stepped forward to attend the funeral for Qin Shi. Their husbands were desolate and prostitutes, so they couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.Another thing is that although the two are separated by generations, the age difference is not too big, and they also have common topics with each other, and they get closer and closer after going back and forth.

After asking Mrs. You's meaning, Mrs. Xing ran to Mrs. Wang and told Mrs. You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to live in Jingxin Nunnery.

Mrs. Wang was full of dissatisfaction, but the eldest wife had to give her face. Besides, although Ning Rong separated from the family, they had the same roots after all, and people could not say that Rong's mansion was too cold, so she called Lian Er Baoyu to discuss it.

Lian and Bao called Jia Qiang to discuss it.Although Jia Qiang hated You Shi, she couldn't divorce her uncle on behalf of her uncle, and Xu Shi still obeyed her orders, so she agreed with the Rong family to take them in, saying that she would see what to do when her uncle and Brother Rong freed up their hands.

So Mrs. Wang assigned the Pear Fragrance Courtyard in the northeast corner to You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is the courtyard for the Xue family in the original book.

This courtyard is the resting place of Rong Guogong in his later years. It is not bad, but it is smaller, with only a dozen or so houses.There is a door in the small courtyard leading directly to the street, so it is very convenient for You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come and go.

The place is small, and You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only brought Jia Zhenna's aunt Kailuan, Peifeng, and a dozen confidants.As for Jia Zhen's nameless playthings, let them die!

Not a day later, the Ning Mansion was sold, and Jia Qiang moved to a certain village in the suburbs of Beijing. All the families in the Ning Mansion also took care of themselves. They only waited for a letter from the chief of the Rong clan to send their troops south.Uh, General Qiang is not the head of the patriarch, and he must "obey the emperor's favor at any time".

You ask all the servants of the Ning Mansion?The important servant Jia Rong took most of them away, as for the family members of the servants, they will come to pick them up later.

Jia Qiang has already settled money for each family, and all the people who will be taken on the road are young and strong, and Jia Zhen's Yingying and Yanyan can't be without maids to serve, right?

You ask Jiao Da, the famous lonely old loyal servant?Alas, he is an alcoholic by nature. When Jia Zhen and his son "closed the house" last year to observe their filial piety, I don't know if he was too angry or accidentally drank too much, and finally became drunk.

You ask the ancestral hall?They are all tablets, already loaded.

And Zuku?What are the origins of the Dukes of Ning and Rong? The ancestral treasury of the Rong Mansion is not in the mansion, but the one of the Ning Mansion can be in the mansion?

Where the ancestral library is, according to the ancestral family law, only the head of the family, the original mistress, and the sons of the family who guard the ancestral library know.This is one of the main reasons why Rong Qiang did not dare to deal rashly with her family slaves.

Of course, Ning Mansion and Yucao generation made an exception due to special circumstances, and the stepwife Youshi and Rongqiang both entered the ancestral treasury.The Rong Mansion also made an exception. Jia's mother felt that she was getting old, and Mr. Xi was bedridden for a long time and might return to the West earlier than her, so Jia Lian had been asked to take over in advance.

After all the disturbances and dust settled, Jia's mother "recovered" and returned home with her granddaughter Daiyu and her nephew Xiangyun.

The old lady is going back home for her 79th birthday.In fact, she is false [-], but there is a folk saying that the nines are not the ten.Although the old Jia's family didn't have this habit, but the front was too unlucky, so they had to use festive events to rush.

The old lady was very happy, taking advantage of the fact that she had played a trick on Da Jinsun, she sent a message to put Xichun under the name of the second room.

She thinks she is following the trend, but the boss is holding back his anger and making troubles all the time, why bother to make trouble for the boss?Besides, the Ning Mansion has already paid off the imperial silver, so there is no need for Xichun to marry a merchant.

There are many people who come to Rongfu to join the show, so let's take a look at the gift list, there will never be enough guests in three days.Patriarch Lian became ruthless and decided to line up for eight days from the first day of August to the eighth day of August, the [-]th birthday.

It's really not about ostentation, there's nothing you can do about it, the gift-giver can't afford to offend.Please see: On the first day of the new year, the princes and concubines, princesses and concubines are invited; on the second day, the monarch and wife are invited; Family banquet; on the fifth day, the governor of the capital and orders, etc.; on the sixth day, all officials and orders are invited; on the seventh day, relatives, friends and guests from far and near are invited; Killing minions).

The male guests and the female guests were separated, and the female guests held a banquet in the old lady's yard. The male guests pointed out that they wanted to enter the Xiaoguanzhuang to see the scenery, so the girls had to temporarily move to Jiamuyuan.

Not to mention how the Rong Mansion hangs lanterns and festoons, screens the phoenixes, and sings and drums. Anyway, Lian Erbaoyu brings Jialan and Qin Zhong outside, and Mrs. Wang brings Tanchun Daiyu Baoqin to the inside. bother.

Finally, it was the right day, and my family didn't need to open Xiaoguanzhuang, but celebrated in Jiamuyuan together.

Banquets can't be eaten safely. Sometimes they are rewarded by the Ministry of Rites by order, and sometimes they are rewarded by the virtuous concubine.There is no need for Mrs. Jia to run too far, she only needs to walk a few steps from the courtyard gate to the north gate of Xiaoguanzhuang, and then walk a few steps to the main hall of the empress who will receive the reward.

The two major rewards are over, and the Ministry of Officials has come again, specially rushing today to announce that Tiao Lian Tongzhi is Shandong's grain messenger!

The author has something to say: Lian [-]: Lord, Lord is going to the mountains...Shandong is a grain messenger?Thank you, Lord Long En, 嘤~咻~咻...
