The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang was accused of being insulted by Sang Huai in public, she felt humiliated and was very indignant in her heart.However, he didn't point out the fire against her, so she couldn't answer the words, so she had to endure it, pursed her blood-red lips, and was speechless.

Mother Jia was even more reluctant to say anything, after all, she had objected to moving the stable at the beginning, and even said that Jia pardoned many things.But now Zhou Rui's family is just servants with a lowly status.Indeed, as Jia She said, the master and the master can bear it for more than ten years, how could they servants have the right to say no.No matter how partial Jia's mother is, she can't make her son contemptuous and inferior.

Mrs. Wang saw that Jia's mother was so embarrassed, if she didn't make a statement, she might lose her tongue.She quickly admitted her mistake and said: "I'm to blame for this, I raised her, I will definitely reprimand her when I go back."

Jia She said "Yes" calmly, then acted as if nothing had happened, and after saying goodbye to Jia Mu, he left.

This made Mrs. Wang, who stayed behind, even more depressed, and almost vomited blood due to depression.

Mrs. Wang is very strong and saves face. Mother Jia kept her face on this matter, so she acted as if nothing happened, and continued to laugh at Mother Jia for a long time before returning.

Zhou Rui's family had been waiting in Rongxi Hall, and when they saw Mrs. Wang coming back, they greeted her with a smile. After she went back to do a few housework, she tactfully mentioned to Mrs. Wang when she planned to move.

Mrs. Wang just got rid of her anger. After hearing this, she was annoyed again, and scolded Zhou Rui's family, "It's not good, you husband and wife have been with me for so many years, and you can't even bear this little grievance, which made me lose in front of the old lady for nothing." As long as the old man is around for a day, don't even think about moving!"

Zhou Rui's family was scolded for no reason, and felt inexplicable and annoyed.After he retreated embarrassingly, he felt extremely wronged.She followed her second wife into the Rong Mansion as a dowry, and served her for more than 20 years. She broke her leg after running around all day long, even though she had no credit or hard work, she ended up living next to the stables.Even the servant who was only bought by Rongfu for three or four years, his life was not as miserable as hers.

After all, Zhou Rui's family is a bit cold-hearted, remember the lesson of this incident, and in the future, when serving Mrs. Wang, she will definitely not be as loyal as before, and she must be more careful.

The next day, Jia Amnesty came to Rongxi Hall on the pretext of taking a look around, met Jia Zheng by chance, and chatted for a while.

Jia Zheng had a high-minded style, but he didn't like to talk to Jia Amnesty, he just hummed a few times in a perfunctory manner.

Jia She said with a smile: "Yesterday I saw Jiahuan'er kneeling in the porch, with a pale face, which was very pitiful, so I asked why. Only then did I know that he went to Baoyu's room to be naughty and broken. I got a teacup and was told to go to my younger siblings, so I was punished. It’s really interesting!"

Jia Zheng didn't understand, "What's the fun in this, Huan'er made a mistake, he should be punished."

"It's also true, but I saw the maids in Baoyu's room throwing one or the other, and I didn't see any of them being punished. It's just that the old lady was reluctant to eat what was left for him, such as crab stuffed dumplings, sugar steamed cheese, etc. He doesn't eat it for himself, and he doesn't give it to his younger brothers and nephews, and he doesn't respect us elders, so he wants to keep it for the maids. Do you think it's interesting? In my room, if I want to drink some bird's nest porridge, I have to go to the kitchen of the accountant to ask for it. , the masters are really not as comfortable as the maids."

Jia Zheng turned pale. He never expected Baoyu to be so ignorant and put the cart before the horse.The fault of the son, the fault of the father.He turned his head away in embarrassment, avoiding looking at Jia She, and then left in a hurry with excuses.

Soon after, news of Baoyu being beaten came out in Rongxi Hall, and Mrs. Wang was also reprimanded.After that, Jia Zheng and his wife broke up unhappy and had a cold war for several days.

Not long after that, Jia Lian came suddenly.

Jia Amnesty was thinking about how this cheap son would be enlightened today, knowing that he came to pay his respects to him, he heard Jia Lian speak and questioned him.

"Father, have you heard someone gossiping in recent days and meddling in Baoyu's affairs?"

Jia Amnesty raised his eyes and glanced at Jia Lian, but said nothing.

Jia Lian meant that Jia Amnesty's glance was the default meaning, so he said anxiously: "You are very good, why bother with their business. Not to mention that Baoyu was beaten up by the second uncle, the second aunt was also angry, and the old lady was even more distressed. fire."

Jia Amnesty kept looking at Jia Lian coldly.

When Jia Lian said this, seeing that his father didn't reply, nor was he annoyed, he suddenly became a little scared, and stopped talking.He glanced left and right in a panic, his tone a little more guilty than before.

"My son advised you to do this because I am afraid that you will be blamed by the old lady again when you turn around. You don't have to be angry. It's not worth it."

"Lian'er, you are young and beautiful, whose blessing is it?" Jia She suddenly asked.

Jia Lian was stunned, and looked at Jia Amnesty in confusion.

The corner of Jia She's right lip slanted upwards slightly, pointing at himself, "It's me."

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, guessing that his father meant that he had become an errand runner for the second room, he quickly knelt down, explaining that he had good intentions and was not instigated by anyone.

Jia Amnesty laughed, hehehe, then he suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Jia Lian coldly.

Jia Lian's heart beat faster, feeling as if he had lied so clumsily that his father could see through him completely, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his brow.

There was a long silence in the room, and this silence forced Jia Lian to feel more guilty.He had never encountered this kind of silent oppression from his father, and it was really scary.

Finally, when Jia Lian escaped from the Jia Amnesty Court, he gasped greatly, and even lamented in his heart that he was blessed with great destiny.When she returned to her room, when she was repeatedly questioned by Wang Xifeng about how she handled it, Jia Lian hurriedly described what had happened, lamenting that she had "the rest of her life after the catastrophe", but his words made Wang Xifeng feel that he was incompetent.

Jia Lian: "Obviously the master forced me to go too far, I dare not..."

"I heard you tell the story from the beginning to the end. The master didn't say a few words at all. You should have expected that he would lose face and scold a few words. As for being so afraid. Hmph, what can you do with your courage? "Wang Xifeng said contemptuously.

The master did not say a few words, but the sense of oppression was indeed horrifying.

No matter how Jia Lian explained, Wang Xifeng said that he was too incompetent.So much so that he could only smack his lips dryly, thinking in a trance that maybe he was too guilty at the time.

Two days later, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng met again.

This time, Jia Zhengxue was shrewd, and he said to Jia Amnesty, "Don't tell me anything about Baoyu. I will take care of him in my own way."

"Where is your measure?" Jia She asked.

Jia Zheng sneered: "You don't need to tell elder brother about this, I'm afraid you don't understand, when will elder brother know how to write the word "property?"

"Okay, then you can write it for me and teach me." Jia Amnesty took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng took it, and while unfolding the paper contentedly, to show off his skills, he ordered others to write ink.

But when Jia Zheng opened the paper completely, he was immediately dumbfounded.This is not a blank piece of paper with a sketch of Rongfu drawn on it.Among them, most of them are circled red with cinnabar pen.Jia Zheng paid a little attention to the parts circled in red, including Rongxi Hall, East Courtyard, East Courtyard and his inner study.

This... This is where the second-bedroom people live!Jia Zheng's face turned blue, he raised his head angrily, and just about to say what Jia She meant, he saw Jia She came with a smile, and tapped the red circle in the middle of the picture with his slender index finger.

"Just here, please help me write the word 'property'."

Jia Amnesty's voice was very peaceful and pleasant to hear.But when the sound entered Jia Zheng's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, making his whole mind buzz and he was unable to think.

"You call yourself an upright gentleman, and educate your children with dignity, but you can't do it yourself. Isn't it ridiculous, prudish?" Jia She sneered and sighed.

Jia Zheng stared, shook his head and denied, "No, I'm not prudish. Brother, don't pick things up, talk nonsense!"

Jia Zheng took two steps back in a panic, almost tripping over himself, then turned around hastily, and went out the door just in time to bump into the maid who was about to serve tea.Jia Zheng and the maid looked at each other, then straightened up their expressions, put their hands behind their backs, and walked away solemnly like a master.

"He said he wasn't prudish." Jia She said in a low voice, smiled, put away the picture, and went.

……

It was the first month of the month, and the weather was supposed to be getting warmer, but today it was suddenly cold, terribly cold.

Most people are too lazy to go out, just hide at home to keep warm.

Jia Amnesty suddenly became eager to learn today, and brought two young servants with a book to Zhang Qingke's residence, not ashamed to ask.

Unfortunately, there was a strange panting sound faintly from inside the room.

Jia Amnesty knocked on the door twice, and heard the sound of something falling in a panic inside.Jia Amnesty gave way, and Er Zhuzi immediately stepped forward and kicked the door open.The three master and servant immediately entered the room, just in time to see two naked people who were eager to get dressed on the bed.The two young men took out the rope, tied them up, and then covered their bodies with a quilt, so as not to dirty their master's eyes.

It didn't take long for Mr. She to break the news that Jia Zheng's surname Qing was having an affair with a maidservant, and the news spread in the mansion.Originally, this was just a scandal, and it would be enough to drive people away.

But it was a coincidence that the day before Jia Zheng had just praised Zhang Qingke in public for "he is open-minded and has the style of a gentleman".

As a result, Jia Zheng made a mistake of not knowing people, and was forced to have no face to face people. Every day when he came back from the yamen, he hid in his study and didn't see anyone.

It was at this time that the word "false prudence" secretly became popular among a small number of people in the mansion.
