The most rigid Jia Amnesty in the history of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, the nursing homes outside the Daku woke up one after another.Sure enough, the Mongolian sweat medicine given by Zuo Liang was very good, and no one felt dizzy and weak, they just thought that they had fallen asleep in the middle of the night after vigil.As for the things in the big library missing, no one noticed.

The next day was the day when Jia's mother and other female relatives took Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun to the temple to offer incense and fulfill their vows.As for Zuo Liang, he also prepared early in the morning according to the plan set by Jia She.

Waking up early this morning, Jia She went out again early in the morning. Because Jia's mother had her own business, she didn't take it seriously when she heard the maid in the ear room reply that Jia She had gone out.

The temple where Jia Mu and others went to pay their vows today is called Xishan Temple. It is located on the Xishan Mountain outside the west gate of the capital.From Rongguo Mansion to Xishan Temple, one must pass through Xishui Street.

After Jia She went out, he arrived at a restaurant called Guihelou on Xishui Street.Jia She chose to sit in a private room facing the street. After seeing Jia Mu's red-wheeled canopy cart passing by on the street, Jia She changed his clothes, paid the bill, and went back to the back street to the end of Ningrong Street.Go to the back of Ningrong Street and enter from the back door of Rongguo Mansion.

Knowing that the old lady, the second wife, and the elder master have all gone out, and the second master has gone to the yamen, even though there are still people watching the yard in the house, these people are still eating, gambling, or wandering around. up.The porter at the back door was on duty today, and Jia She went back to the house easily without being noticed by Jia Mu's eyes and ears.

Jia Amnesty first returned to the wing of Rongxi Hall, entered his own room, and put all the valuables in his room into the space.Then wait in the room for movement.

The incense in Xishan Temple is at its peak.Today is the fifteenth day, so there are a lot of people offering incense and listening to the Dharma meeting in the temple.According to the normal itinerary, Jia Mu and others will not be able to come back until the end of the unitary hour.

Jia Mu and her party went out early in the morning and arrived at Xishan Temple at about three o'clock. To show their piety, Jia Mu and Jia Wang didn't eat breakfast.Both Jia's mother and Jia Wang's family felt that since Jia She woke up, everything was not going well at home, so they worshiped the Bodhisattva very piously these days, and naturally they had to listen to the lecture for a long time after the Dharma meeting.

They are adults, and to show their sincerity, they can survive without breakfast, while Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun are nine years old and seven years old, and they are already tired when they wake up early, let alone hungry.Mother Jia was worried that the two children could not help being hungry, impatient in front of the Buddha, and would run into the gods and Buddha instead, so after the two children kowtowed and worshiped and offered incense, she ordered the nanny, maidservants and others to follow and go out to eat vegetarian food.

The incense of Xishan Temple is very strong, and there are many people who come to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of each month. On both sides of the road outside the mountain gate, there are also many vendors who have seized business opportunities and set up stalls.

Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun were honored with gold and jade in Rongguo Mansion. According to Jia Mu's intention, they were originally asked to eat fast in Xishan Temple.But on both sides of the road outside Xishan Temple, not only are there many vendors selling snacks of various colors, today there are also a wave of jugglers.

Both Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun wanted to see it very much. Yuan Chun was persuaded by the nanny because she was a girl;The nurses and servants around him hurriedly followed.

There was a lot of people outside the mountain gate, and no one thought that someone would dare to commit crimes under the watchful eyes of everyone.

That wave of jugglers held a huge piece of curtain in their hands. When the curtain was turned over, a big box appeared out of thin air for a while, and a vase as tall as a person disappeared for a while. Even though many people surrounded it, no one could see it. flaw.

The more Jia Zhu looked at it, the more amazed she became, and while applauding, she got closer and closer.

At this moment, when the first big curtain came down, Jia Zhu was already timid and exclaimed in shock.The servants and nanny who followed Jia Zhu were also shocked, and all spoke out to stop the jugglers.They were naturally afraid, if Jia Zhu made a mistake, they were afraid that the old lady would order him to beat him to death.

Then, the juggler raised the curtain, and Jia Zhu was still standing on the spot, but there was an extra collar on his neck, and a red blessing bag was tied to the collar, which probably contained things like amulets.

The juggler smiled and said: "This young master is a lucky man. This is the lucky bag that our class leader asked for in Xishan Temple, and it was born on him."

Everyone who followed Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Zhu was startled at first, but felt his eyes darken, and soon his eyes brightened again. Sure enough, there was an extra collar, and he thought it was very fun, so he was not afraid anymore.

A few other children who were onlookers thought it was fun, and they all wanted a lucky bag.The juggler had a good temper, the curtains were covered one by one, and then lifted one by one, some got the blessing bag, some didn't, the children were unscathed, and everyone watched lively.After doing this, the surrounding audience gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Then, the juggler put the curtain on Jia Zhu's head again, and everyone waited to lift it to see what Jia Zhu got again, but they heard the man say: "This time we will do a big trick, this young master." But it’s no longer under my curtain, but over there, everyone.” Then, the juggler pointed to the opposite side, and the people following Jia Zhu and the onlookers hurriedly looked back in the direction the man pointed.

I saw that about seven or eight zhang away, there was indeed a group of jugglers. The clothes they wore were from the same class as these jugglers, and some of them were also holding the same curtain and covering them.Looking at the figure, under the curtain is about a half-grown child.

Everyone felt more and more novelty. Couldn't this big curtain that didn't look strange really be able to change a living person to a distance of seven or eight feet?All I heard was laughter from the crowd, some didn't believe it, some believed it, and some yelled at the opposing team to lift the curtain.For a while, the road outside the mountain gate was extremely lively.

I saw the artist on the opposite side lift the curtain, and there was a child standing under the curtain, dressed in brocade clothes, with his back to everyone, the clothes and stature were exactly the same as Jia Zhu, whoever it was.

Seeing that this trick was different, everyone shouted surprise and applauded in unison.

The mothers and servants following Jia Zhu were afraid of accidents, so they hurriedly followed.

While the juggler here took advantage of everyone turning their heads to look at the other troupe, he covered Jia Zhu's mouth and handed it to his accomplice.Amid the exclamation of the crowd, they retreated quietly.

When Jia Zhu's nanny and servants ran to the jugglers on the opposite side, the child covered by the curtain turned around. Although he looked like Jia Zhu in stature and clothes, he was not Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu disappeared in downtown, which is not bad.It's just that the servants who followed Jia Zhu wanted to escape, but Jia Wang's family was devoted to the reliability of the people around their children, and they used the family to give birth to children. The whole family was in Rongguo Mansion, where could they escape to?

After hesitating again and again, Jia Zhu's nanny had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Jia Mu about it.

When Jia Mu and Jia Wang heard it, they felt dizzy like five thunders.

Jia Mu rushed out and said, "Hurry up and look for it? If you can't find Zhu'er, let's see who I can spare!"

Who would have imagined that such a big incident would happen if he fulfilled his wish properly? Mother Jia ordered the servants who followed her to look for someone nearby, and at the same time ordered them to return to Rongguo Mansion and send another man to find Jia Zhu.On the one hand, he sent two young men, one to the Ministry of Industry to find Jia Zheng, and the other to report to officials in Shuntian Mansion.

After a while of confusion, when everyone in Rongguo Mansion found them again, even the two juggling troupes disappeared without a trace.

In Rongguo Mansion, after Jia Amnesty put the valuables and soft goods in his room into the space, he has been waiting for news from Xishan Temple.When they came back from Xishan Temple, the people in the Rongguo Mansion were in a state of chaos: they wanted to report to the officials, and they wanted to send more people to search for them, so Jia Amnesty knew he had succeeded.

People from Jia's mother and Jia Wang's family, when they heard that Jia Zhu was missing, naturally wanted to show their loyalty, and they all went out in a hurry to find someone.The main room of Rongxi Hall, which has been guarded all day long, is now guarded only by an old woman with dim eyesight.

When the woman heard that such a big event happened in Xishan Temple, she also went out to listen to the gossip, and when she came back, she picked up tea and drank it.

When the old lady was out, Jia Amnesty had already added ingredients to the bowl of tea.Not long after, the woman fell asleep on the table.

Jia She ordered people to stay outside, and entered the main courtyard of Rongxi Hall by himself.

Later, even the chief maid Yuanyang was able to steal Jia Lian's things as pawns for Jia Lian, which shows that they were not kept secretively.No matter how much Jia Amnesty disliked Jia's mother, it was easy to inquire about it.

Without much trouble, Jia Amnesty opened Jia Mu's private treasury according to the method of opening the big treasury last night, and saw that the inside was round and flat, with boxes of gold bricks and silver ingots, which were many times more than the big treasury. .There are also countless silks and satins and jewelry.If we talk about the things in Jiamu's private treasury, there are only books, calligraphy and paintings that are not as good as the big treasury.

Jia Amnesty knew that Mother Jia was greedy, but he didn't expect to be so greedy.But after thinking about it, in more than ten years, Jia Mu's Gou Lai's family will be able to build a garden that is half the size of the Grand View Garden, and it is logical that Jia Mu's private treasury is richer than the big treasury.

Due to time constraints, Jia Amnesty did not have time to count them carefully, and ransacked all the things in Jia Mu's private treasury along with the box, and locked the door after coming out.

That day Lai Da stole some important ledgers, Jia Amnesty asked Zuo Liang for a spy who was very good at concealment to lurk on the roof of Rongxi Hall, he lifted a piece of tiles and waited for rabbits, he had already discovered Jia Mu's hidden ledgers and bills. dark grid.

According to what Zuo Liang said, Jia Amnesty stuffed all kinds of things in the hidden compartment of Jiamu Babu's bed into the space, put the bedding back again, flattened it, and came out calmly.

At this time, Jia Zheng and Jia Wang's family were still living in the East Courtyard, and Jia Amnesty glanced in the direction of the East Courtyard.If there was enough time, he would like to loot Jia Wang's private treasury as well, but Jia She estimated the time and felt that the time to loot Jia Wang's private treasury was a bit urgent.

After taking a large amount of belongings, Jia Amnesty still left Rongguo Mansion through the back door, returned to Guihe Building, and changed into the clothes he went out with today.He also ordered people to go out to release command arrows.

The juggling troupe outside Xishan Temple was naturally arranged by Zuo Liang.The Guihe Building here sent out a signal, and the people outside Xishan Temple knew that they had succeeded, so they sent Jia Zhu to the backyard of Xishan Temple.

How many people were looking for Jia Zhu together, and Jia Zhu was found soon.When Jia's mother saw that Jia Zhu was unscathed, a stone fell to the ground.But the thoughts of listening to the Buddhist meeting have long since stopped, and he said to Jia Zhu's nanny and others: "I will punish you when I go back!"

When the servants around Jia Zhu saw Jia Zhu was looking for, they knew that their lives were saved, but they would not be punished heavily, so Nuo Nuoying followed behind the team and headed home together.

Seeing Jiamu and the others come back in a mighty manner, Jia Amnesty went downstairs, waved his fan, and followed Jiamu and the others back home.

As soon as Mother Jia and the others arrived at Ningrong Street, they saw Jia Zheng looking around anxiously, with people in official uniforms following him.It turned out that upon hearing that a son was lost in Rongguo Mansion, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion personally brought the servants.

Seeing Jia Mu and others coming back, Jia Zheng hurried up to greet him.

Although Jia's mother was angry, Jia Zhu was fine anyway, so she thanked Prefect Du first, and then asked Prefect Du to come in for a detailed discussion.

Jia Amnesty pretended to come back with Jia Mu and others, and stood aside to listen on purpose. Hearing that Jia Zhu was missing, he pretended to be surprised and asked Jia Mu, "Did you find Pearl?" A knife in the eye.

Jia Amnesty didn't take it seriously, and went back to the ear room by himself.

Jia Wang's family is a female family member, so she took Jia Zhu back to the East Courtyard to appease her son.Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty talked with Du Zhifu in Rongxi Hall.

At this moment, Jia Amnesty rushed into the Rongxi Hall, lifted Jia Zheng up and punched him, and said angrily: "Jia Cunzhou, you lied about Zhu'er's disappearance, deliberately transferred the concierge and nursing home in the mansion, and stole something from your brother? In vain, you pretend to be a scholar, but for the sake of the yellow and white things, you actually steal from yourself! You don’t learn something well, and your ancestors will lose all face!”
