A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

Daiyu was relieved by the sisters' comfort, but Qingxuan invited Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang to arrange all kinds of food in the princess's mansion. It was just where the guests should sit and how to arrange them. Things like the dishes that should be served are all very cumbersome things that are not very luscious. When Jia Mu wants to talk about some important things, Qingxuan responds with the internal regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to avoid their greedy eyes. .

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Yun, who was welcoming the bride while beating gongs and drums, came slowly. Daiyu also put on a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, and put on a hijab. The appearance of the bride suddenly remembered the appearance of her precious daughter Jia Min when she was married, and a trace of warmth slowly floated up in her heart. She stopped talking about asking Daiyu to go to the Chen Mansion to take good care of the Jia family. Instead, it tells how Daiyu is filial to her parents-in-law, courteous to her sister-in-law, and handles all kinds of family affairs. While talking, she thinks of what she said to Min'er in the same way back then, and she can't help crying.After You Shi and the others mentioned the matter of Ningguo Mansion in front of Daiyu, they didn't say anything more. She, a smart person, knew that the actions of Ningguo Mansion were nothing but self-destruction, but she was a woman, and It's the stepmother, who can persuade her.At this time, mentioning it in front of Daiyu is considered to have fulfilled the relationship between husband and wife and mother and child, and how the emperor will deal with it in the future is just at the will of heaven.

As for Xiangyun, the historian became a commoner and she really knew how a commoner girl lived. What's more, although the historian lost his title, the two uncles still had small positions in the military department. That's how Xiangyun was. Knowing that I ate Bigeng rice back then, the fat chickens and ducks were too greasy, but now I just eat white rice every day, do my own clothes, and light oil lamps instead of candles at night, compared to when I complained Suffering several times.At this time, she finally restrained her arrogance and coquettishness of being Miss Hou Men, and realized that she was completely humiliated when she complained about working hard at home, no wonder her aunt didn't treat her well.I used to be reluctant to go home because I thought the historians had strict rules, but now there is no money to invite an embroiderer who is a good needleworker to teach me. Before I came, my uncle and aunt even urged me to have a relationship with sister Daiyu. , so that they can change to a place with oil and water.

After going through a lot of tedious etiquette, the dowry went out. The full dowry was envied by the world. Makeup is even more enviable.Daiyu got into the sedan chair with anxiety about the future, and Qingxuan had already gone to her husband's house early to tidy up the new house.At last nothing went wrong, Qingxuan felt relieved when he saw Daiyu's slightly shy face the next day.

This wedding, which everyone talked about, had been talked about by the idlers in the capital for more than half a year. The Mrs. Dingguohou, who only had Chen Lin's family and figures in the history books, became the envy of countless women through the ages. Three sons and one daughter in her life, the three characters are all famous officials through the ages recorded in the history books, and the daughter became the eternal queen who asked the emperor to say, "My queen is like my brothers and feet". The oath made in front of the emperor is that he will never take concubines for life.

Naturally, Daiyu didn't know about her reputation in history after thousands of years, and she couldn't care less about it. The life of the newlyweds in Jia's mansion was like heaven and earth. General Chen and his wife were both cheerful and reasonable people, and they never demanded rules. Except for the two days when they just got married, Mrs. Chen never asked Chen Yundaiyu and his wife to go to pay their respects every day. The family just had breakfast together every morning, and by the way, I would say what to do.Daiyu was not used to it at first, but her mother-in-law's request for a new daughter-in-law was difficult to refute.After getting used to it, I feel that this is better, and everyone gets along more harmoniously.Not to mention that Chen Yu is also a smart person. Since Daiyu married, this sister-in-law has been gossiping every day, but she always casually talks about various relationships between the relatives of the Chen family and the servants. , although the relationship between General Chen's family is simple, there are quite a few members of the Chen family. Naturally, their direct branches also have to bear the responsibility. The family's great business cannot do without all kinds of right and wrong. Although these people live in poverty, they must not be treated slowly in terms of etiquette. , Daiyu Zhiran knew her kindness, and the two got along more harmoniously.

Although Mrs. Chen has already said that Daiyu is not required to go to pay her respects, Daiyu is naturally not a hypocritical person. Except when she is resting and taking a bath, the father-in-law and Chen Yun have endless things to do every day, and the father-in-law is relieved of his military duties. , but is still the emperor's confidant, serving as attendant every day.Daiyu didn't want to eat alone, so she often went to Mrs. Chen's place to eat and chat with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If the weather was bad, she would eat with Qingxuan Zijuan and others in the house. Conscience discovers that Zijuan's parents, relatives, friends and family were all given to Daiyu by Mother Jia, except for her own deed of prostitution, and became Daiyu's accompanying room.

On this day, Daiyu was having lunch in Mrs. Chen's room. Suddenly people outside came to report that it was the emperor's day. Daiyu had already joined Mrs. Chen's board of directors at this time, so she hurriedly ordered people to remove the beaming gauze and replace it with The white silk, all dressed up according to the product, went to court and cried.The whole court did not dare to drink and have fun, for fear of violating taboos, and did not dare to marry in a filial piety. Mrs. Wang originally wanted to marry Tanchun again at this time, but naturally she couldn't.The women in the harem also remove their make-up and reduce their meals, and copy scriptures to show their filial piety.

The emperor used the month to represent the year, and after March, it was considered filial piety.At this time, he was finally ready to settle accounts after the fall. The court ministers were puzzled by a series of fierce imperial decrees. The vigorous officials in the court were replaced one by one, and the emperor had been prepared for a long time. Those officials had just been dismissed. After taking off the top hat on his head, a deputy who was usually inconspicuous but just doing things honestly was replaced. Only then did the minister know that the emperor had prepared for it.What's more, these days after they relaxed their minds, they did a lot of tricks. Who can not have a speculative heart, thieves who steal baht, thieves who steal the country, and the Jia family dared to hide the illegitimate daughter of the loyal old prince. Strange goods to live in.Not to mention that these ministers were not law-abiding.On the contrary, those who are locked in prison can do nothing. When they are really questioned by the emperor, they will not be accused of more crimes. The emperor does not want to be said to be a tyrant. Exile, not to mention the gratitude of the family members of these criminal ministers, even the scholars in the world have nothing to say, they all say that the emperor is a benevolent king.

Jia's family and mother also received a letter from Daiyu. After all, Daiyu was still worried about this old man who had given her some sincere love. Although she gave up on herself during the decline of Jia's house, she But she will never forget the protection Mrs. Wang gave her when she wanted to poison herself and take over the only family property she left on the surface, and she will never forget to send Zijuan to her side, for fear that she will The friendship when I was wronged in Jia's mansion, so I still talked to Chen Yun once.

Chen Yun knew the emperor's character, so naturally he didn't dare to plead for mercy, but he also knew Jia Zheng's ability, how could it be the internal response arranged by King Zhongshun in the city.He just investigated the truth and told the emperor, saying: "Your majesty is wise, Jia Yuanwai is incompetent in the way of nature, and he is just greedy. We have already prepared for it at that time, and we have ambushed people in front of the cannon in red, just because we are afraid People from the loyal and obedient princes came to sabotage. Jia Yuanwai also attacked rightly. We were able to wipe out the spies of the loyal and obedient thieves in the capital. In case they got the news somewhere, some of them ran out and told Zhongshun the rebel the news that the red-clothed cannons in the capital can be used, so that he was prepared, and the situation in the capital would be difficult that day."

The emperor sneered and said: "Don't you want me to thank him?" Chen Yun hurriedly said: "I dare not, what I mean is that a person like Mr. Jia is not capable, and he will be a hindrance wherever he is placed. I implore the emperor to look at him. It is the emperor's kindness to spare his life because he is somewhat related to my Chen family. Besides, although the Jia family has committed serious crimes, Mr. Jia She and Jia Shilang have made meritorious service. Mr. Jia She not only resigned. His majesty's title, he also quietly returned the money owed to the treasury. With this title, the emperor will have an excuse to take back other people's titles in the future. Isn't it a meritorious service. Mrs. Jia Lian is also capable, and the treasury money recovered by the household department At least one-third of the credit is due to him. In the future, the emperor will be able to use him. If the emperor is punished, Mr. Jia's official career will be difficult. I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to use him in the future. Now the emperor can support Jia family, they will do their best to serve the emperor from now on."

The emperor thought about it, he himself likes people who do practical things, and his subordinates are also doing practical things. They don't know how to change things. When they go to ask for money from the treasury, they only do it. It doesn't matter, I still take the silver, but with the silver in the treasury, my reputation as the emperor is ruined.Besides, these ministers who have paid back the money are going to pay attention to themselves every day in the next few days, I really can't stand it.Jia Lian is a man who talks nonsense when he sees people talking. Since he entered the household department in the past few months, the household department has paid back a lot of money, but his ears are clean. Those scholars dropped their schoolbags. The irrational can also become reasonable.If I want to reform in the court, I really can't do without such a smart person.Therefore, the emperor said to Chen Yun: "I am also afraid, so I will forgive him once."

But when Daiyu delivered the letter back, everyone in Jia's family knew that the second master had committed such a serious crime as treason by surrendering to the enemy. Mother Jia was dizzy when she saw this, and the rest of the people were worried that even if it was Daiyu now. Even if you try your best, you won't be able to help, I'm afraid that not only the second master will be beheaded, but also the Jia family will be punished.Even Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Jia Lian Wang Xifeng Xing, who had gloated over the situation of the second room before, wished to stuff Jia Zheng back into Jia Mu's stomach so that he would not be born.Mother Jia didn't dare to read the letter anymore, so she asked Tanchun to continue reading the letter, and she was relieved after reading it. The emperor actually spared the Jia family, but asked Jia Lian to do his best. At this time, Mrs. Wang couldn't care less about jealousy. He hurriedly thanked God for allowing Jia Lian to make meritorious service, so that he could help the Jia family and saved Jia Zheng. No matter how the big and second families were at odds, others would treat them as a family. Fortunately, my family lived and died for the title Willing to separate from Dafang.On the contrary, Jia Amnesty was very dissatisfied, thinking that it was the second wife who dragged down the first wife.Knowing that Jia Zheng's punishment was the same as that of Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang in Ningguo Mansion, he was exiled. Although he was sad, he also knew that this was already a light sentence, so he didn't dare to pester him to find Daiyu again. , Ready to let them take it to RBI.

Sure enough, within a few days, the imperial decree came down and it was exactly the same as what Daiyu said, but the house of the second room was confiscated. The cost was high, and on the other hand, Jia She returned all the remaining money to the treasury.The rest of the houses belong to each house. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng moved back to the big house long ago, but they copied it cleanly.Although there are not many, there are also many. The things in the Baoyu room are worth thousands of gold, and there is Mrs. Wang's small treasury. These days, Jia's mother also copied all the things that Jia Mu quietly sent to the second room because she didn't want to distribute them to the eldest room.After the official left, Mrs. Wang wanted to cry but had no tears.Jia's mother didn't care about her distress, but the inspectors found a pile of debts in Mrs. Wang's room, which were exploited by usury. I'm afraid Jia Zheng's crime might be aggravated.I went to inquire about the Ningguo Mansion again, and copied it, but found out that Jia Zhen lured the children of the family to gamble and took the wives and daughters of good people as concubines. At this time, Dongfu was already crying loudly.After waiting for a short time, the decree came, and Jia Zheng's exile from two thousand miles became three thousand miles, and Mrs. Wang followed him.Jia Mu had no choice but to ask Li Wan's mother and son and Baoyu Tanchun to live in the two courtyards next to her and take care of them nearby.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were discussing the affairs of their own family that day, and they should thank the emperor for their kindness. After thinking about it, the family couldn't come up with much silver. He also resigned from the title of first-class general. Anyway, he can only succeed Jia Lian for the same generation. Living in such a big house requires a lot of expenses every year. It would be clean to move out and live in a house that is within his capacity.

There are also those Zhuangzi shops outside that are too good, and they can’t protect their own family if they are not the Duke of the country. They should half enter, and half should be given to Chen Houye as a thank you gift, leaving only some small Zhuangzi and those who are not eye-catching. The shop is.My family is no longer a wealthy family, and the maids in the family should be cut as well.Since then, there has been a popular saying in Jinling that "Jia is not fake, and white jade is used as a horse for the hall. Afang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a history of Jinling. The East China Sea lacks white jade beds, and the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. It is snowy in good years, and pearls are like soil. The four big families of "gold as iron" have become the past, gone with the wind.The Jia family is just like many officials in the capital, relying on their own ability to do things.

Most of Jia's mother's private house was given to the second room and was also stolen. Now that Jia Lian is promising, he naturally no longer cares about Jia's mother's family possessions. Not on it.He is now a newcomer in the court, wealth and power must be earned by his own hands.It's just that the orphans and widows of the second bedroom should take care of them as uncles, so they still live together.The rest of the clansmen who depended on Jia's family also left and scattered, those who returned to their ancestral home, and those who were eager to go to their own future.
