Do good deeds without leaving your name

The female family members of Rongguo Mansion had no time to mourn, and under the leadership of the old matriarch, they cheered up.

The other families of the four major families were not so lucky.

Xue Pan, who was the cause of the disaster, was taken into custody, and Aunt Xue rescued her daughter.At that time, Xue Baochai didn't know that the fire would burn on her own prince, because Prince Lian's concubine had nothing to give birth to, and Xue Baochai had already given birth to a daughter, who was the eldest daughter of Prince Lian, so she was somewhat respectable in the prince's mansion.

Xue Baochai softly begged the prince to extend his hand to his elder brother, but Prince Lian agreed because it was just a trivial matter.

Unexpectedly, the development of the situation was completely unexpected.

The censor took the "lack of family management" and thoroughly involved Prince Lian.

When Prince Lian realized that the limelight was wrong and wanted to cover up what was in hand, it was already too late.

Not only was it discovered that it was raising private soldiers, but also the minerals and salt fields in the south of the Yangtze River!

Prince Lian, who had been suspended from his errands, tried every means to make amends, but the crime was really unusual. He was furious, removed from his position as prince, and was imprisoned in the mansion.

The concubine had disliked Xue Baochai in the early days, but because the prince needed money from Xue's family, she was more tolerant. Now because Xue Baochai's elder brother has troubled the prince, the concubine changed her way of teasing side concubine Xue every day.

Although the prince knew that Xue Pan was just an excuse to clean up himself today, even if there was no Xue Pan, there would be Zhao Pan and Qian Pan, but he still couldn't help but feel angry at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai was unwilling to be left out in the cold, and resorted to all means to reverse the disadvantage. This is another story.

In short, the former Prince Lian's Mansion is now a battle of "east wind and west wind".

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

The Xue family's only son was taken into custody, the qualifications of the imperial merchant were revoked, and the paving industry was suppressed by competitors, and his vitality was severely damaged for a while.

At that time, Xue Baochai was struggling in the palace, unable to protect himself, and had nothing to do with his brother who was in prison.

Aunt Xue was originally obedient to her father at home, her husband when she got married, and her daughter after her husband died. Now she panicked and didn't know which temple to worship and which Bodhisattva, so she could only rely on her natal family.

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

The Wang family, the in-laws of the Rongguo Mansion, were not directly involved, but it must have been a bad luck.

Wang Ziteng, the head of the Wang family, is a descendant of the Duke of the County, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.In his early years, he served as the military envoy of the Beijing Camp. Later, he was promoted to the control of the nine provinces. He was ordered to inspect the border, and then he was promoted to the capital of the nine provinces. Then he was promoted to the governor of the nine provinces.

But it is said that the prince Teng Yu died of a sudden sudden illness on the way to Beijing not long ago.

After Wang Ziteng's death, because the censor of Haijiang read a book, he said that it was the shortfall left by Wang Ziteng when he was in office. Since he was deceased, his son Wang Ren should make up for it.

So the Wang family also poured out their wealth to make up for the shortfall.

Do not make up?If you don't make up, just wait for the house to be ransacked. Everyone knows the name of the "Prince of Tracing the House" in the early years.

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

The Jia family was only hiding the stolen goods of the Zhen family, and the historian of the Bowling Hou Mansion was deeply involved in the case of Prince Lian.

In terms of status, among the four major families in Jinling, the Xue family of the imperial merchant is the most humble, but the Xue family is rich.

However, the population of Baolinghou's mansion is poor, and it has long been difficult to make ends meet in order to maintain its dignity, and the new Baolinghou has no talent. Counting carefully, the historian actually relied on the married girl—that is, Jia Mu, to prevent him from falling into poverty. Lost reputation.

Therefore, during the reign of the first emperor, the Bowlinghou's Mansion was very active in participating in the reserve position. To put it bluntly, it was modern political speculation.

It's a pity that he bet on the wrong treasure, and now the evidence is conclusively settled by the current saint Shangqiuhou.Confiscation of the house and exile of adult males. Fortunately, the crime is not as good as that of the female relatives. Those who wish to return home can be divorced. Mrs. Bowlinghou is also very affectionate. .

I only hope that Long Live will amnesty the world, or that Master Hou can come back safely after the limelight.

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

Therefore, among the four major families, the luckiest one is the Rongguo Mansion lineage of the Jia family.

Although a lot of bullying, forced buying and selling, extravagant living, etc. have been found out, at least there is no crime of treason.

Human life?Which big family didn't carry a few lives on their backs?

In the eyes of the ruling class, lowly status is equivalent to domestic animals; civilians are no better than lowly status.

During this period, the Wang family came to borrow money from the Jia family, but the Jia family was in danger and could not help.

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

Lin Daiyu and others who were far away in Suzhou also knew the situation of the four major families in Jinling.

Mother Xu sighed to her daughter: "Master originally thought that the girl would marry into Jia's mansion and have someone to take care of her. But she never thought that Jia's mansion would collapse like this. It's really..."

"Mother, don't worry, the old lady of the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion is still there, and so is the Concubine De in the palace. This matter has not yet been settled. Besides, the girl was married by the former emperor. Today Your Majesty will not let the girl marry the ruined Jia family." Wang Momo thought, the plot of the Red Mansion was getting worse and worse, but she didn't do anything other than raise Lin Daiyu. God help.

"That's right, no matter what you rely on, if the girl has a well-managed village, she won't live a hard life." Madam Xu said the truth. Both of Lin Daiyu's parents died, and she has no sisters or brothers. Fortunately, the marriage was bestowed by the late emperor. Even if Jia's mansion really collapses now, the follow-up will have to be followed up by today's sage: You broke someone else's future husband, why don't you find someone else?

Anyway, Lin Daiyu's marriage is definitely not her own decision, let alone a group of servants who care about the girl.

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

Grandma Wang was right.

Jia Yuanchun was staying in the palace well.

The former emperor was gone, the empress was promoted to be the empress dowager, and all the concubines also became dowager concubines and dowager concubines.Strictly speaking, the first emperor was not a person who was obsessed with women. There were only more than twenty concubines with titles, and among the twenty or so people, only six were in the position of concubines.

The six concubines were placed in the Tai'an Palace, Taining Palace, and Taici Palace, and the rest lived in the side halls of the Three Palaces.

In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, they used to fight for favor.Today's concubines can get along with each other in harmony.

Concubine De Jia Yuanchun begged in front of the Queen Mother because of a disaster at home.

When the queen mother was a queen, she watched the concubines vying for favor with cold eyes, and she was calm. Now, as she expected, she has become a queen mother with a detached status: the biological mother of Long Live has passed away for many years.

The Empress Dowager didn't want to get involved in these matters, after all the emperor was not her own, and it was just a matter of saving face with her; besides, Jia Yuanchun had never been in agreement with her, so why bother with it.

Jia Yuanchun didn't beg hard, but turned around and went back to the palace to copy stacks of Diamond Sutras to the Queen Mother without sleep: The Queen Mother worshiped Buddha and was very pious.

The queen mother saw that Jia Yuanchun, who had always been calm and calm, had lost a lot of weight, but she was moved with compassion.

When the emperor came to pay his respects, he briefly asked about the Rongguo Mansion.

The emperor is a wise man.

How can someone who is not smart win the reserve position from all the princes?

After catching the big fish like Prince Lian, the Rongguo Mansion is really just a small shrimp, and he can let it go.

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

After the emperor left, the queen mother stroked her poodle: "Mother, do you think I am getting older and my heart is softening?"

Mammy is already in her sixties. Seeing her eldest daughter go from crown princess to empress to empress dowager, she seems to be full of scenery all the way, but she is cautious at every step: "You have always been a good-natured person. You are a soft-hearted person. , and my heart is soft..."

"That's all, all the ups and downs have nothing to do with me."

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

The emperor lifted the Rongguo Mansion high and put it down gently.

Counting clearly one by one, one by one, the Rongguo Mansion was demoted, and Jia Amnesty's noble was demoted, and Jia Zheng's Yuanwailang was sacked, so he could pay the "redemption" money and redeem the two of them.

The Rongguo Mansion was returned, but the plaque at the entrance and the layout of the mansion were already in violation of the regulations. Before Jiamu ordered someone to deal with these, she went to the warehouse to get the silver and redeem her son.

A few years ago, repaying the money owed to the state treasury, and now taking out a large sum of money to manage it, it can be said that it basically emptied the family property of Jia's family.

But the people in the West Mansion dare not complain. Compared with the exiled Master Zhen in the East Mansion, this is already much luckier.

After taking back Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, who had been frightened for a long time, Mother Jia ordered someone to prepare a bath water with grapefruit leaves early to get rid of bad luck.

In the evening, when the whole family got together, Jia's mother said that there must be a charter for the future life.

Wang was afraid that others would forget the efforts her eldest daughter in the palace had put into this incident, so she kept talking about the kindness of the concubine.

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Zheng: "Second brother, tell your family to shut up. Thunder, rain and dew are all due to the grace of the king. Our family's escape this time is all due to the kindness of the Lord Long Live."

Jia Zheng was very ashamed when his mother said this, and he flicked his sleeves at Wang: "Ignorant woman, keep silent!"

Jia She asked the important question that both of them were concerned about: "Mom, how much money is left in our house?"

Jia's mother asked Wang Xifeng, who was in charge of the house, to report the number.

"What should I do?" Jia Amnesty and the Xing family looked at each other as if they were mourning.

Jia's mother was furious: "You worthless thing! Our Jia's family started from Jia Qiang's infancy. Our ancestors fought hard to get the wealth we have today, so why did you produce such a worthless thing!"

Jia Amnesty was scolded by his mother in front of a group of juniors, and he couldn't let go of his face in embarrassment, so he could only change the subject to: "Then the marriage gift from the late emperor to Baoyu still counts? Yu'er should also be a filial piety?"

"Why don't you count? Naturally, I want to marry Yu'er." Jia's mother still doesn't know whether Lin Daiyu is lucky or unlucky to marry the Jia family.

Jia Amnesty said: "That's good. At that time, the imperial decree said that we will separate after Baoyu gets married. Does that count?"

When Jia's mother heard that the unfilial son was hitting the attention of the separated family, she felt very uncomfortable.
