The Injustice of the Red Chamber
Chapter 18
In the first month of last year, the first-class viscount wrote a letter to plead for Prince Rui's grievances, and believed that Prince Rui was responsible for immortality.He is in power and has not established himself as emperor.Assisting the young master to ascend the throne is a great achievement.Acting unruly, but with more merits and less crimes, I ask for his redress, restoration of title, repair of tomb, and begging for Zhaoxue.
As soon as this remark came out, it was strongly opposed by most of the courtiers.The courtiers not only pulled out Prince Rui, who had been dead for many years, to show their stance, but also suggested that the first-class viscount who was a "rebellious minister and traitor" be sentenced to death, confiscated his family property, and distributed his wife and children.
Now he is headstrong, and today he doesn't know whether he is guilty or suddenly soft-hearted. He only exiled the first-class viscount who submitted the letter, and ordered his eldest son to inherit the hereditary title.
It's a pity that within a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, the eldest son of Xu's family, who was in charge of the throne, fell into the water, and when he was rescued, he was completely ruined.
Then the members of the Xu family and the second uncle of the Xu family ignored the 12-year-old concubine of the head of the family, and even rejected the idea of Mrs. Xu's desire to put the concubine under her knees as a legitimate son.Directly wrote to the present day, saying that there is no one in the chief house, please ask the second son of the former first-class viscount, the younger brother of the former first-class viscount, the uncle of the Xu family to inherit the first-class viscount.
Mrs. Xu's family was exiled by her husband one after another, and her son died inexplicably. After months of lingering illness, she heard that the man died on the way to exile.No, Mrs. Xu's family, who had lost all hope in her life, didn't make it through, and the family was reunited without taking a breath.
The obituary in Mrs. Wang's hand belonged to the wife of the Xu family who was lucky enough not to be married, and the person who sent the obituary was the 12-year-old concubine of Xu's family.
The capital is a big place, and they are all in the same circle. The Xu family's mess has long been known to everyone.Especially when Mrs. Xu's family is still 'powerless' to stop the spread of rumors.
So now even though the second wife of the Xu family has won the title, she has also lost a lot of face, making many aristocratic families feel cold-hearted.
However, in this world, everyone has always cleaned up the snow by himself, regardless of the frost on others.There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
If the second wife of Xu's family can bring benefits to everyone, and the official fortune enjoys a great ride, everyone should praise the Xu family for their foresight and courage in today's matter.
However, with today's impetuous, willful and narrow-minded temperament, it is much more difficult for the Xu family to do something than others.
After all, it is the Xu family that has a personal affair with Prince Rui.
When interests overwhelm fear, people will subconsciously make choices that are beneficial to them.The Xu clan also had selfish intentions, coupled with the temptation of the title, they were sympathetic, so when the eldest son of the eldest son died strangely, everyone chose to turn a blind eye.
For the longevity of the clan, they will not allow Xu's patriarch, who has lost his mind, to inherit the title, nor will they allow the elder's son to remember the title.They deliberately ignored the existence of that bastard, and wanted to completely obliterate the influence of Xu's family house on the entire Xu family.In fact, the best way and choice is for the Xu family to completely give up this title, unfortunately...
That's why Xu's second wife's medal of honor for bullying orphans and widows might not be able to take it off for a while, unless... all the elders are dead.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's breathing paused for a moment.
Xu family, Jia family.The Xu family, the Jia family...
Speaking of which, Mrs. Xu's family is also a decisive and ruthless person.On the day when the imperial decree came down, without waiting for Mr. Xu Er to send someone over, he directly took off the plaque of 'First-Class Viscount's Mansion' from his mansion and sent it to Xu Er's mansion with drums and gongs.
Along with it, there was also the title deed for the clan sacrifice land fixed on a wooden board.
The concubine of the eldest family walked in front of the plaque in filial piety, so half of the people in the capital knew who the Xu family's second wife was.
The excitement in front of the Xu family's second room that day is still mentioned from time to time.
Because the mansion was not rewarded by the court, Mrs. Xu sent the plaque away, and Master Xu could no longer use this as an excuse to live in the long house and take charge of all the properties of the long house.
Coupled with the fact that his nephew swaggered through the market and brought over the title deed of the sacrificial land, Master Xu Er didn't dare to come directly to ask for other properties.
After all, no one knows what a woman who is obviously crazy can do.Xu Erfang still remembered that when the elder sister-in-law first started housekeeping many years ago, she killed seven or eight housekeepers, large and small, in one go.
So when his parents passed away and separated, he took his wife and children and left so neatly...
If it's just such a small thing, it won't surprise people.Because afterwards, the Mrs. Xu's family transformed the Xu family's old house into a Guanyin Temple, and transferred all of Xu Jiaming's properties to the name of the Guanyin Temple.
A lot of monks were invited to settle in, but within a few days, it was already decent.
Mrs. Xu's family did not move out, but chose two similar courtyards in the Guanyin Temple to live with her concubine, and it happened that she also died there.
The funeral place on the obituary post is the Guanyin Temple.
If this obituary post was sent by Xu's second wife, Mrs. Wang would not hesitate.Just a bastard who was ignored by the clan... Mrs. Wang instinctively didn't want to get involved in the Xu family's mess.
Alas, the Xu family also had a very close relationship with the Rongguo Mansion in the early years. They were born as military generals in the Rongguo Mansion, and the previous emperor died young. When they were young, they also served under Prince Rui's command.Later...it's meaningless to say that now.Or take the obituary post and ask the old lady how to get it.
Those of them really answered the sentence, "Prince Cheng Yerui, and Prince Rui Yerui when defeated." '
When Prince Rui had an accident back then, the Rongguo Mansion did not make trouble, nor did it take over to accuse Prince Rui like other aristocratic families did.
But this was not an act of conscience, but the Rongguo Mansion at that time... Mrs. Wang shook her head, pinning all her hopes on the eldest son and eldest daughter.
Rongguo Mansion has been dormant for too long.
I went to Rongqingtang with the obituary post. At this time, the old lady in the main house of Rongqingtang was teasing Baoyu there.
Baoyu has grown up a lot, fair and cute, not very crying, and can laugh at anyone.Just looking at him is a clever and clever look.
"You came at a good time. Can you leave the New Year's gift for Yangzhou?" Mrs. Wang came in to salute. After the gift was over, Jia's mother asked her.
Mrs. Wang thought for a moment that the old lady in her family who didn't know the sufferings of the world loved her daughter too much, she lowered her eyes and replied, "So that the old lady knows, I'm leaving early this morning."
So stop thinking about adding a private room to your daughter.
When Jia Mu heard the words, she nodded lightly, and asked Mrs. Wang what she was doing here at this time, a little disappointed.
Mrs. Wang has long been used to Jia Mu's attitude, so she only talked about the Xu family's obituary post.
Don't go, it seems that Rongguo Mansion is too cool.Let's go, Xu's family's house is gone, what do you think of the second house of Xu's family who is also called a title.
"Back up the gift, just send a steward over there." Mother Jia didn't think there was anything embarrassing about it, so she turned the topic around again, "My son Min'er wrote a letter earlier, saying that he was pregnant, so let's forget about it." The day is February and March next year..."
When Jia Mu confessed, Mrs. Wang responded.There is no dissatisfaction on the surface, but in the heart I am extremely bored.
When the old lady was pregnant, you felt sorry for your son, and the house was full of picky girls.Why do you feel sorry for your daughter when it comes to your daughter, and worry that your son-in-law will be fascinated by the goblin?
True mother-in-law~
The daughter-in-law of many years has become a mother-in-law. No matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Wang may be with Jia Mu's double standard, she will always hold it back, thinking that she will not be able to treat her daughter-in-law like this wicked old woman in the future, and at the same time She felt that everyone came here like this, and she had to treat her daughter-in-law equally.
Perhaps sensing Mrs. Wang's thoughts, Mother Jia finally turned her attention to Jia Zhu and Li Wan's marriage after caring about her daughter for a while.
"Brother Zhu is still studying in the Imperial College, so don't neglect the Li family."
"Don't worry, the old lady, and the daughter-in-law will save it." When it comes to her son's future, Mrs. Wang is more concerned than Jia's mother. "A few days ago, my sister wrote a letter, saying that she got a pair of excellent coral bonsai. It's nothing more than a thing, but the implication is that it is very good. I will send it to Beijing together with the New Year's gift, and add it to Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law."
"Your sister has a heart." Taking a sip of tea gently by Yuanyang's hand, she was quite satisfied with this new girl who had a good eye. "I heard that your younger sister's family is looking for a nanny from the palace for her sister, but you want to send it to the palace?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face faded a little, "It's just a thought. Girl Bao is only a few days older than our second girl. My sister means to follow the rules, which is also the manner of people like us. "
When Jia's mother heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Wang, "I just feel sorry for Sister Yuan." As long as you know it yourself. "The few of us are old relatives. We are all prosperous, and we are all damaged. We can only do our best to help in everything. There is no reason to tear things down."
Money can turn ghosts around. It is true that the Rongguo Mansion has a title, but it does not have the money like the Xue family.There is no difference in the palace between the age of ten or so.
Don't ask our girl to be the pioneer of his Xue family.
These words fell on Mrs. Wang's head like enlightenment, and Mrs. Wang woke up instantly.
Earlier, she really didn't think about it. She always felt that she was ten years younger and had nothing to guard against.So when Xue's family sent a letter saying that they wanted Yuan Chun's maid in the palace to go to Xue's house, she immediately agreed.
He thought to himself that giving someone to his own niece would be better than those nieces and concubines in the correctional house.Now it seems that I have to make another plan.
She was thinking about it, that Nanny Lu had stayed in the mansion for many years and was very familiar with Yuan Chun, how could such a person be released from the mansion.
"Old lady, madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to serve dinner?" Seeing that it was time for dinner, Yixiu put down the forehead wipe she was embroidering for the old lady and asked for instructions softly.
"Go and ask the girls to come here." Mother Jia nodded to Mrs. Wang, then put the matter aside, "Let someone call Lian back."
"Yes." After Yixiu agreed, she glanced at Yuanyang at the side, Yuanyang withdrew lightly and ordered not to mention it.
On the other side, Fei Ge, who had had dinner in advance, was wandering towards Rongqing Hall while thinking about the news she just heard.
Fei Ge thought, Master Xu is a good person, and Mrs. Xu's family is also really kind.In order to keep the last blood of the long house... it is also very hard work.
After going over this matter in Fei Ge's mind, she walked back while humming a song: "The little monk went down the mountain to go to Huazhai, the old monk told me that the woman at the bottom of the mountain is a tiger, and you must avoid it when you meet her... ..."
"Pfft~"
As soon as this remark came out, it was strongly opposed by most of the courtiers.The courtiers not only pulled out Prince Rui, who had been dead for many years, to show their stance, but also suggested that the first-class viscount who was a "rebellious minister and traitor" be sentenced to death, confiscated his family property, and distributed his wife and children.
