The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Amnesty suspiciously, then lowered her head and picked up the book.Because the pages were messed up, she rummaged through them for a while, and when she finally found the page that Jia She said, she lost her former composure. , in a half-demented state.

Mother Jia stretched out her hand in the direction of Mrs. Wang.

"Second daughter-in-law!" Mother Jia shouted out after panting heavily in anxiety.

Mrs. Wang regained her senses, as if she touched something unclean, she hurriedly dropped the book in her hand.With a look of undecided surprise on her face, she hurriedly saluted Jia's mother and left in a hurry. .

Mother Jia opened her mouth, and finally turned into a sigh, and turned to look at Jia Amnesty.

Jia She sneered, "Mother, don't blame me, the siblings were too shocked, so they hurriedly resigned and went to discuss with the second brother. After all, this "Secrets of the Next Door" has a wide influence among the rich and powerful, and their second wife's embarrassment is a big deal, and delaying their official careers is even more important. We all know that their husbands and wives are kind-hearted and have a great face. At this time, they naturally don't care about other things. The most important thing is to find a way to save the situation."

Jia's mother didn't think much about it, but after what Jia She said, she realized that something was wrong.She was really shocked and uncomfortable just now. After the second daughter-in-law read the book, she ran away without saying a word of concern for her. It can be seen that their own face is more important than the mother-in-law's body.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother suddenly felt chills in her heart.After all, what is described in this book is more about her fault, and she should lose face the most.Moreover, she did that in order to favor the second room, and now she ended up without even a word of concern.

At this time, Zhou Rui's family screamed again from outside the door.

Mother Jia reconsidered the rumor about Mrs. Xing, and this time she suddenly felt that Mrs. Wang was really suspicious.You can't think about it carefully, the more you think about it, the more frightening it becomes, and Mother Jia's heart becomes heavier and heavier.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Amnesty stopped the punishment outside, and sent someone to invite a doctor for Jia's mother.

Seeing that the eldest son still cared about her after all, Jia's mother finally felt better, and then thought that he had just lost his wife, and he was in a pitiful panic, so she didn't say anything to him, and told him to go back and rest.

Jia Amnesty resigned conveniently.

At this moment Jia Zheng had just returned to the mansion when he was caught by Zhou Rui.When Jia Zheng heard about his grievances, he was very angry. He promised to let Zhou Rui make the decision, and went to Mrs. Wang instead.

After Jia Zheng entered the room, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting on the arhat couch, with her head bowed and her hands twisting Buddhist beads, as if she was distracted.

"You have been in charge of the family for many years, why can't you hold your breath today because of such a trivial matter. It's just a servant who was beaten. You just need to ask your elder brother to take care of you in front of your mother." Jia Zheng half blamed and half comforted.

Mrs. Wang moved her lips slightly, and only said a word softly.

Jia Zheng immediately stood up and stared at Mrs. Wang with round eyes.

"What are you talking about, "Secrets of the Next Door" is here again? It also wrote about our house?"

Mrs. Wang turned the pages and handed the book up, "I just asked someone to fetch it from the old lady, and the master will read it by himself."

Jia Zheng took the book and sat down. After glancing at it for a while, his hands began to tremble. Then he threw the book in a rage and scolded the writer for meddling in his own business.He turned his hands to the window, and after a while, his voice gradually became quieter.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Mrs. Wang asked expectantly, "But have you thought of a countermeasure?"

"It's ridiculous, what can be done. Do you know how much influence this "Secrets of the Neighbors" has had on the imperial court!"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and whispered, "I don't really know."

Jia Zheng turned his head abruptly. With his face bare, he said to Mrs. Wang bitterly: "Then I will tell you carefully. This first book "Secrets of Neighbors" reported two cases of officials being corrupt and taking power. The case, an injustice case in Gyeonggi Prefecture, and two anecdotes about nobles. The latter two are just jokes that people talk about, and there is nothing to show. Let’s just say that the first three were all reported by Yu Shitai as early as last month. It was verified and reported to the saint.

Xue Haomiao, the leader of the five-rank patrol in the capital, was dismissed and investigated for corruption.Xia Wenrui, magistrate of Puliu County, was sentenced to be beheaded and imprisoned for forcibly marrying a peasant girl and murdering her family property.There was also an unjust case in Gyeonggi Prefecture. Because the victim was the nephew of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he was eager to close the case and judge his life. Yin Peiyong of Gyeonggi Prefecture was directly banished to Guangdong and Guangxi. "

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, and the blood on her face completely faded.She expected that this book would be sent to all high-ranking families, which would provoke criticism of this family matter in the Rong Mansion, and cause their husband and wife to be stabbed in the back.But she thought that the biggest thing was to lose face, but she never expected that this book would have such a great power in the court.

Just the loss of face was enough to make her feel like a knife.If this matter is really as Jia Zheng said, she will be reported to the official department or the court by the Yushitai, and Jia Zheng will lose his official position again, and she will be punished for some unjust imprisonment, will she be killed!Let the whole second room show up!

Mrs. Wang suddenly felt helpless, she burst into tears, and couldn't hold back her grief.

Jia Zheng was anxious and anxious at first, and wanted to think of ways to make it up, so naturally he didn't have much time to take care of Mrs. Wang, so he just patted her hand and told her not to cry, and then hurried out with a sigh.

Jia Zheng didn't return all night, and when it was dawn, someone spread the word that he had returned.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly brought someone over and asked Jia Zheng how the results of his walk were.

Jia Zheng's face was gloomy, and he just shook his head quietly.

"Did you go to my elder brother's place?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"Don't mention it, I was scolded for nothing. Everyone in Yushitai eats and drinks, and they are spotless. They are most taboo to deal with nobles. Your elder brother said, don't say it is him, it is the old man." If you go out, you may not be able to influence Yushitai's memorabilia."

Madam Wang frowned.

"I begged others again, but there was still no result. Now there is only one way to avoid this disaster." Jia Zheng sighed long, and uttered the last sentence very reluctantly, "Change places with elder brother."

"What! Change...change place?" Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng in disbelief, her whole body limp back, and she was lying powerlessly on the Arhat's couch. She said as she shed tears, "Master means let us move out of here." Rongxi Hall, let eldest brother live here?"

"I have carefully studied the above content, but it is just some servants of the Rong Mansion or people related to the outside talking about Hu Qin. The biggest evidence is that 'the eldest son of Xijue lives in the side room, and the second son of the no-jue lives in the main house'. , the mother is biased, so I can justify it by saying that I am old and foolish. But as the youngest son and an important minister of the court, it is really a big mistake for me to take this opportunity to bully Brother Xijue to live in a partial courtyard. But if we put the place in time now In other words, if outsiders have no evidence to talk about, they will naturally be cleared, and they will be safe." Jia Zheng explained.

Mrs. Wang frowned tightly, stubbornly picking at the Buddhist beads in her hand, and kept silent.

Jia Amnesty: "I have no choice but to do this."

"You wait, you have to tell your mother first."

Mrs. Wang can only place her hope on Jiamu's side. As long as Jiamu asks to keep them, their second wife can stay on the ground of filial piety.It's just that the old lady has to suffer, and she will get the reputation of being a "unkind mother" in the future, but since the old lady is so partial to the second wife and Baoyu, she shouldn't mind this sacrifice.

The couple immediately went to find Jia Mu, but unexpectedly, Jia Mu flatly agreed, and told them to move out as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams, more tongue-tied, and extraneous problems.

Madam Wang was disappointed, but she had no choice but to ask someone to pack up her things.Jia Zheng sent someone to inform Jia Amnesty.

It was finally tidied up here, and things were moved there, but they turned back as they were.

Fang Shanshan, the mother-in-law who went to deliver the report, returned.

"What's going on? Can the Grand Master take care of it?" Mrs. Wang asked.

The mother-in-law shook her head with a bitter face, "Going back to the second master and the second wife, the slaves waited for half an hour in the east courtyard for the elder to see him, and the elder said he didn't want to move."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked why, but the mother-in-law shook her head and wondered.

Mrs. Wang became anxious when she heard the words, "What does he mean, that we need to kneel down and beg him?"

Jia Zheng frowned and remained silent for a while, then decided to look for it himself.Not long after, Jia Zheng also came back.

"How about it?"

Jia Zheng shook his head, "With a stern face, he just said no, so he closed the door and sent me away."

At this time, Laiwang, who was ordered to go outside to inquire about the news, came back.

Laiwang first begged Jia Zheng's forgiveness before he was willing to describe it truthfully: "Second master, second wife, the content of the second issue of the book has already been circulated in bookstores and tea shops outside, and many noble children and literati are there. Discussion, the first two cases were two cases of dereliction of duty by the fifth-rank officials. Everyone talked about it and said that the court would definitely deal with it. On the contrary, whether the latter two are considered crimes and whether they should be punished is the most annoying Criticism. Xing Zhong's matter is the most scolded, and then our Rong Mansion's elders and children—no, it's our Rong Mansion's matter.

Some people say that it is not easy to manage, and some people say that the imperial court should take care of it. They say that the mansion and title given by the emperor should be inherited by the descendants according to the rules.The Rong Mansion disregarded Gangchang and looked down on Xijue's eldest son, just ignoring the court rules and failing the emperor's favor.Some people also said that in the last issue of the book, the reason why an anonymous young man in the Rong Mansion said that Mr. Pardon was wrong was because of this influence, or it was secretly spread by some weird person, and said—— —”

"To shut up!"

After Jia Zheng scolded him, his face was very ugly.He glanced at Mrs. Wang and grabbed her hand.

Mrs. Wang panicked, "Master, what are you doing?"

"You go with me to make amends to elder brother. Let's kneel down, beg him well, and be sincere. In short, we must change the place today, or we are both dead." After Jia Zheng said, he dragged Wang Madame go.
