Yucuo of the Red Chamber

Seeing that Shui Rong's expression changed drastically, Master Buddha shouted first: "Nonsense! How can you do such a thing? Even if you sell private salt and kill everyone, you shouldn't let it be lightly insulted! It can be seen that it is just hearsay and nonsense. And you are guilty The innocent one has already been taken away, so why should the innocent one be tied up? I think I watched too many dramas, making it up!"

Xiaoer hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Master Hui, I don't dare to talk nonsense, but it sounds good. But Aunt Liu in the back alley showed me a jade hairpin, which is not something ordinary people can have, so I thought about it." Not too bad. There are many people in Jia's house. If they don't tie them up, they might run away, just like Uncle Laisheng. Besides, those grandmas and girls are fine. Those housekeepers often bully others. Tore and ate, and there are still some debts owed to outsiders. This time it was all in vain, let alone go up to grab things... I heard that there are still people who go up to beat people. was dragged away."

The Buddha asked doubtfully, "Doesn't this mean that there is no king's law?"

Xiaoer replied: "The king's law? They are only allowed to corrupt the law and leave it alone; we are not allowed to vent our anger? It's not a small talk, it deserves it! Although selling illegal salt is a felony, some people really can't do anything about it. It’s just a living. If you don’t have five shi, you’ll be sent to the frontier to serve as an army; if you spend more than ten shi, you’ll be executed; It doesn't matter if you break such a king's law, you just die."

The Buddha said angrily: "It's full of nonsense! How can Wang Fa allow you to slander at will?"

Xiaoer apologized: "Go back to the Lord, the Lord is from another place, and we don't know many things here. In the past, the king's law only cared about us useless little people. Those who really committed heinous crimes, like the Zhen Mansion back then, were just sent out in the end. I heard that he has been pardoned and returned to his original place. I don’t know if the Jia Mansion is acting like this, and they will find an excuse to pardon them after a while. But the emperor is always wise, and he will probably know sooner or later. If If we can punish Jia's family, we will sell their property and ask the Buddha; if we can let the most heinous people go, we would rather break the law than beat them to death, not to mention just showing our anger." Xiao Er was careful when he said that , but the righteousness and righteous indignation are obvious and moving.

Foye looked at Shui Rong coldly, then looked at Xiao Er in surprise, he couldn't tell what it smelled like.For ordinary people, if you commit a crime, you must die; if you commit a heinous crime, you will be pardoned, what's the point? !

Shui Rong doesn't care about being happy at the moment, or asking the Buddha, let alone reminiscing about the old days, it seems that Xiao Er's words are meant for him, but it doesn't seem to be.He is not the kind of cruel and rude person. Although the current situation has been like this since ancient times, it may not always be true, especially when it is said so happily from the mouths of these servants, with a deep feeling. Hate makes people shudder.It is said that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. A drop of water is of course insignificant, but once it merges into a river and sea, it will be a big deal.

Also, Foye and Xiaoer mentioned "trafficking in private salt" intentionally or unintentionally, and they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and left after a while.Leaving the inn, I still feel that Xiaoer and others are chasing him with a big stick, as if they want to come up and beat him up, or pray to God and Buddha to take him in too.

When he returned to Beiwang Mansion, Shui Rong was still in shock, and his heart was in a mess, unable to figure it out.Thinking about Daiyu for a while, and the warning from Concubine Beijing, it feels like a startling dream, and I dare not think about it for now, lest the emperor will punish me, and everyone in the Northern Palace will be "tied" and taken away Go, suffer those humiliations.

Thinking upside down like this, Shui Rong was restless day and night, and he became a little dazed. Every time he thought about it, he broke into a cold sweat, still undecided in shock and at a loss.

Now there are people from the Northern Prince's Mansion serving and waiting for orders here, the mandarin ducks and others have also gained some support, and after the initial shock, they gradually settled down. , or forced to calm down.

When I was free, I was really flustered: the huge mansion, with children and grandchildren around their knees, servants in groups, bustling and bustling, was quiet now.The people were released; the things were moved away; the remaining mother, Jia, was probably waiting to see her off.If there is no future, no hope, how can the heart be stable?If you have something to do, let it go, once you are free, everyone will feel guilty, just wait for Jiamu to die, and they will be lost, what should they do?Everyone's heart is confused, their hearts are like headless chickens, messy, except of course the mandarin ducks.

But mandarin ducks have a spectrum and it's not easy.So what if she is free?Her heart is more tormented.Mother Jia trusted her, so she told her such an important matter in front of her, and asked her to ask for water melting.At that time, she wanted to die, she wished she could touch her head to death, or plug her ears so that she didn't hear.However, she heard it, and she begged, for Jia Mu, but it was her knee that knelt down.

Leaning against the head of the bed, Yuanyang's eyes were moist, she didn't expect that she had thought so much for Daiyu, but in the end she couldn't keep her, but betrayed her indirectly.Of course it's a betrayal, and Jia's mother can understand what she means after thinking about it.Daiyu, is it really bitter gourd and Huang Lianming, who must be bitter from beginning to end?What's so good about water soluble?A clean person like Daiyu should have a clean place to go, no matter how merciful and sympathetic she is, I am afraid that at most she will be like Baoyu, loving her according to her own will, but she cannot comfort her heart.

Yes, everyone has a heart, and she also has a mandarin duck.She doesn't envy being an aunt, she wants to be herself, live happily, understand what she is doing, and every day is her own.Daiyu, who is exquisite and transparent, of course understands her own heart better, how can she be an aunt who spends her life pulling curtains for others?Thinking of this, Yuanyang's lungs are so stuffy that they are about to explode.But she can't blow her lungs apart, and she can't hit her head to death. She wants to atone for her own sins and try to save Daiyu.

Yes, Daiyu, that is her new master, a master she admires.She has the concept of superiority and inferiority, but she never bullies or insults for no reason, and she never puts on airs. Her kindness is always so casual, like spring wind and autumn rain, which makes it difficult for those who are used to snobbery to notice.She never hides her temperament, so people don't need to bother to figure it out, it's the most relaxed only when she is in front of her.

Thinking of her disdain for those tricks, Yuanyang finally made up his mind to serve this new master, unless Daiyu didn't want her.No matter where Daiyu goes in the future, she will protect her carefully, even if she suffers some grievances for her, because she thinks it is worth it.

After thinking about it like this, she gradually came up with an idea, she couldn't just sit and wait, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the King of Beijing Jing was also interested in Daiyu, maybe he would actually ask for an order.Thinking of this, Yuanyang sneered slightly.Such a prince, Daiyu doesn't matter if she doesn't marry, so as not to be heartbroken.She had to find a way to find someone for help as soon as possible.It seems that the one who can help her, or help Daiyu, is not Daiyu herself, but another person.

After making up her mind that everyone is packing up, Yuanyang will also pack a few things, or check and hide Jia Mu's important things, so that she won't be taken away by someone when she goes out. It's not worth it.Since Mother Jia treats Daiyu like this, it can be regarded as repayment of debts or dowry.Yuanyang knows best about the good things that Jiamu single put out.After a while of rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, I thought about it, and then kept the wisdom pattern, so as not to make too much noise, or when Jia Mu remembered it, it would be difficult to explain.

Unexpectedly, after rubbing the box to think about it, the box has another mechanism. When the mandarin duck accidentally touched it, there was a slight sound, and the bottom half of the box was pushed away, revealing a thin interlayer.skillful!wonderful!She still has her thoughts on designing such an exquisite mezzanine.Of course no one would normally move this box, and no one would think of that interlayer.After all, it is always a little weird to store something in such a precious thing.

That being the case, it must be something more precious, or something Jia Mu valued.

Yuanyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down, and listened outside, but it was still quiet.Then he quickly took out the things inside. It was a few yellow silk handkerchiefs, or yellow silk as big as handkerchiefs, with some words written on them.Yuanyang followed Jia Mu for a long time, and she could roughly understand some characters.Moreover, in the past one or two months, due to the troubles in the mansion, Li Wan taught her to read some extra words, so most of the characters on Huang Ling can be recognized by mandarin ducks.Just this recognition, I almost fainted from fright.He thought to himself: No wonder everyone has to listen to her, treat her so respectfully, even the emperor treats her differently, Wang Jing of Beijing respects her like an ancestor, that's how it is.

Quickly take out those few words and put them away, and put Hui Wen back in the same place.Leaning against the cabinet, this time it got even bigger.I think her mandarin duck is just a girl, no matter how big she is at home, now the Jia family has collapsed; if she is put outside, she will not know anyone, and she will not talk to her, let alone such an important thing, two things.

Touching the things hidden in the bosom, and the person just now, Yuanyang is more sure. Moreover, Daiyu doesn't know about these two things, and it doesn't do her any good. It's better not to let her know.That being the case, then go find that person.I don't believe that Daiyu can't be exchanged with these things, probably a first-rank imperial life is enough.

Make up your mind before it's too late.After settling down, Jia Mu rested, and she was still waiting for the result of the water solution, so she hung her breath and refused to wake up, so as not to walk faster.Yuanyang told Amber to look at Jia's mother so well, and only said that she wanted to go out to find someone and arrange a way out for the rest of them, so she hurried out.Everyone in the room heard that Yuanyang was willing to help them, so naturally there was no one who refused.
