Daily life of Xifeng in the Red Chamber

What Jia Lian handed over was the evidence of the Zhen family's embezzlement of public funds, and there were some unspeakable whereabouts of the money. Although the sage didn't mention it on the surface, he knew in his heart that it was for helping to depose the prince that day.Because it is not easy to clearly use this to convict, the saint ordered his confidantes to just check all the money in Jinling.

After all, the Zhen family had some background, they had heard the news from the insider in the palace, and they were in a state of panic all day long.After all, Master Zhen had a lot of experience, so he knew that things must not be delayed, so he immediately contacted his in-laws and old friends, scattered and transferred the family's belongings, and at least left some things for future generations to rely on.

Mrs. Zhen wept with her handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Okay, what happened, Baoyu was talking about kissing, and when he came here all of a sudden, what did the woman think? Could it be that she thought she was greedy for your money? "

Master Zhen was already full of melancholy, so he didn't have time to comfort Madam, he frowned and said: "Just do what you are told, there are so many words."

Madam Zhen wept and said: "Master, I really have no conscience to say this. I have been with you for decades, and I have worked hard without any credit. Now, for some reason, I have sent all the money from the family. Can I not even ask?"

Master Zhen sighed and said: "Okay, what are you doing knowing so much, let's just let Baoyu's marriage go first, let's talk about it later."

Mrs. Zhen said anxiously: "How can this be done? The two families are about to change their Geng posts. Let's just talk about it now. Isn't it a feud? Besides, this Mrs. Jiang's girl is good regardless of family status, temperament, and appearance. I think it matches well with our Baoyu, so why not?"

Master Zhen shook his sleeves and said, "I'm his father, if I say no, then I won't." Then he walked away.

Madam Zhen was so angry that she cried, and the girl hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, maybe the master has some arrangements."

Mrs. Zhen said: "What's the arrangement? It's not that I don't like my Baoyu. I'll see if those little bastards born of goblins can beat my Baoyu."

The things that the head of the family has decided, other people can only follow through even if they don't want to. Mrs. Zhen saw that Master Zhen's intentions cannot be reversed, so she had to wipe away her tears and take care of things.

If it is said that she is not at ease in other people's homes, but Jia's house can make her believe it, so in addition to the few houses arranged by Master Zhen, she specially arranged for four confidants to go to Beijing with [-] silver.

Originally, Master Zhen didn't want to talk about this matter with Jia Xiao, and it would be useless to talk about it, it would only make them anxious, it would be better not to know anything, and to do whatever they want when the day comes.It's just that the fire couldn't be contained in the paper, and I don't know where it came from. Before the four women went to Beijing, Mrs. Zhen knew the whole story.Without saying a word, she closed her eyes and fell back straight.The girl hurriedly came up to hug her and pinched her hard.

Madam Zhen opened her eyes, tears fell down, and she cried, "My son."

She only had this precious son in her life, but because family affairs would drag him down, knowing that a catastrophe was coming, she didn't care about herself, only worried about whether her son could endure such suffering, and how she would live in the future.

The girl helped her up and sat down, she took a sip of tea from the teacup with trembling hands, collected herself, and said, "Go and call Mama Liu in." Mama Liu is the most caring woman among the four confidantes.

When Madam Liu came in, she saw Mrs. Zhen's expression, she didn't care to greet her, and hurriedly asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Why is your face so bad?"

Mrs. Zhen beckoned her closer, and whispered: "Mom, my dowry money is clean, but I can't keep from filling that big hole, but although my son was naughty when he was young, he never did a single thing that hurt the nature and reason." , the mess in this family can't implicate him. You quietly transfer all those that can be sold, don't move the big farm shop, that one is too eye-catching, and sell all my jewelry and toys, and hand over the money Take it to the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, their old lady is close to my mother, so she will definitely help."

Liu's mother was also terrified, and after a while, she said: "Madam, don't worry."

Mrs. Zhen said again: "Your family's deeds have been released a long time ago, and now your man and son are doing well outside. When you finish this matter, you don't have to come back. You can go home directly." She took a deep breath. He said with tears in his breath, "If one day in the future... you can see Gu Baoyu a little bit, it will be your affection for me."

Mother Liu cried: "What are you talking about, girl? I have brought you up since you were a child. Although you are not a nanny, you are closer than a nanny. Now that something is going on, I can't help you with big things. Just don't worry about my brother's business. "

Madam Zhen cried again, and after a while she slowly stopped crying and said, "Okay, you can go."

People from Zhen's residence came very quickly, before Jia Lian received the news that he was going back to serve as an errand, the people from Zhen's residence had already arrived at Jia's residence.

Now Jia's mansion is run by Sister Feng, and these women ask to see Jia's mother after a few compliments.Sister Feng wondered: "To tell the truth, our old lady has been in poor health since a month ago, and now she is being raised, so I dare not ask anyone to disturb her easily. If you have something to do, just tell me the same."

The women looked at each other, Madam Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Since that's the case, please ask Second Mistress to back away."

Sister Feng nodded to Fuman, and Fuman went down with a few girls.

Mother Liu lowered her head and said something cryptic about the matter. Sister Feng hurriedly said: "I understand what mother said, but it's a big matter. I can't make decisions by myself. You and the mothers will stay here first. You answer."

In fact, Sister Feng had discussed this matter with Jia Lian long ago. In any case, the Jia family could no longer get involved. If the Zhen family knew that this matter was initiated by Jia Lian, the two surnames of Zhen and Jia might form a feud.

Zhen's house came suddenly, she hadn't prepared an explanation yet, so she had to delay for a while.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "You've been smart for a while, so what's the problem? You're going to end up with an enemy, and you don't care sooner or later. You just say you don't dare to accept it."

Sister Feng sneered and said: "I didn't think of it for a while, and besides, I really think that many women in their family are innocent. I thought it would be good if there is a way to leave some for them."

Jia Lian said seriously: "Confused. I say you are confused for two reasons. One is that you are reckless and soft-hearted. You only think of the innocence of the women's family members, but think about it. The money Mr. Zhen got, except for that place, is not all these family members. Did they enjoy it? Even if they did nothing wrong, are those who lost their homes and even lost their lives due to the loss of disaster relief funds guilty? Just like our family, although they said... but to be honest, no one but Wang really What evil things have you done, but now we are running around, isn't it just for a crime to make a contribution?

The second is that you underestimate the evilness of people's hearts. At that time, there may only be a few female relatives left in their family. Even if they leave a lot of money, can they keep it?It is good not to be dragged down by these money and die. "

Sister Feng listened to Jia Lian's lecture with a blushing face and blinked her eyes.

Jia Lian stretched out his hand to caress her, and said: "Although you can understand many things in detail, you are always soft-hearted. This is your benefit. It doesn't matter, you don't need to change, I have you.

If the saint is merciful, these female relatives don't have to be sentenced, we just help out in private. "

Jia Lian reckoned that the sage would not punish the female family members of Zhen's mansion harshly, they would be exiled, and most likely rewarded a small villager to let them live by themselves.

Sister Feng dismissed Liu's mother and others according to Jia Lian's words.Mother Liu hated Sister Feng's snobbery, but she had no choice but to ask Jia's government after thinking about it.

Jia Zheng went to the yamen to work as an errand, and Tanchun's housekeeper is now at home. After meeting several people, they received the ceremony and returned half the ceremony. Mother Liu felt a little more comfortable seeing that Tanchun was very well behaved.

It's just that she would never talk about such a thing with a girl like Tanchun, so she wanted to see Mrs. Wang. Tanchun stopped her a few times on the grounds that Mrs. Wang was weak. Unexpectedly, Mother Liu suddenly knelt down and said: "Good girl, it's really important and urgent, please be accommodating."

I don't know who quickly passed the news to the Wang family, and the Wang family was also clamoring to see him there, scolding Tanchun for being disobedient and unfilial.After all, Tanchun was a junior, so he couldn't be suppressed by force, so he had to order someone to clean up Mrs. Wang, and take Mama Liu to see her.

Now Mrs. Wang is locked in a single courtyard and is not allowed to come out. Tanchun dare not release Mrs. Wang, so she can only lead Mother Liu there.

When Mrs. Wang saw Mother Liu, she glanced at Tanchun first, and said, "Go, you have nothing to do here."

Tanchun held back his anger, and beckoned a little girl to give him such and such instructions.

The little girl nodded hurriedly.

When Jia Zheng came back in the evening, Tanchun hurried to see him.

Jia Zheng always treated his two daughters more leniently, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Tanchun said: "A few family members from Zhen's mansion came to visit today. My wife wanted to see her. I didn't dare to stop me, so I had to bring someone to see my wife." I asked the girl to listen outside, the girl was too young to hear it very clearly, she just said something was going to happen to Zhen's house, and some money should be kept by the wife.

My daughter doesn't know what's going on outside, she just thinks that this should be a big deal, and she has to let you know anyway. "

Jia Zheng sighed: "Now they are checking Zhen's mansion, they also want to save a way out, that's all."

Tanchun said anxiously: "Father, just think about my daughter's stupidity. Eldest sister is in the palace now. Although we can't do anything outside, at least we can't add to her troubles. If, as father said, the sage is already going to investigate Zhen's mansion, But we helped hide the stolen goods, and when the sage found out later, not only would we be in trouble, but wouldn’t our sister be troubled as well?"

Jia Zheng was terrified, and hurriedly said: "My son is right, it's because of my father's short-term thinking."

He comforted Tanchun a few words, and hurried to find Mrs. Wang.

Tanchun sighed in the back, his father is a gentleman, but he is not someone who can make a difference in the officialdom, even she can understand things, but his father needs someone to remind him.Now that the family is separated, she is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, her aunt is not kind, and her father cannot be relied on. She is obviously a family member, but she only feels lonely.
