[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Not to mention how the Wang family cried after hearing the news. The news of Wang Ziteng's death spread to the temple outside the capital. Jia Jing was dressed neatly that night. prepared, and poured the cinnabar used for alchemy into the stomach. When the Taoist priests woke up the next morning and found out, they saw that the whole body was already cold and hard, the skin and lips were purple, and the belly was swollen, hard as iron, but it was early morning. dead.

Jia Lian first heard about Jia Jing's death, and then Wang Ziteng's death. Although he had infinite doubts in his heart, he hurried home and found out that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were not in the capital on the day of Jia Jing's death. But I don't know what the gods are doing mysteriously.When I wanted to ask again, I couldn't ask anything.It's just that the current emperor heard that Jia Jing had passed away, and because Jia Jing had already handed over the title to Jia Zhen, he also issued an extra decree of favor and granted him a fifth-rank official position. Jumping with joy.Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son were even more triumphant, and Jia Zhen still said to Jia Zheng, "I said earlier, please relax, my uncle."

After Jia Zhen and Jia Rong returned, they asked someone to choose a suitable day for burial.Due to the emperor's decree, Guanglu Temple gave sacrifices according to the above regulations, and the court was allowed to sacrifice and hang from the princes and below. Therefore, although the mourners were not as impressive as Qin Keqing's day, they were quite large.Unexpectedly, when the group was about to leave the city through the North Outer Gate, a group of officers and soldiers stopped in front of the procession.Everyone in the Jia family was a little angry, so Jia Lian reined in his horse, and when he asked why, the other party's tone was indifferent, and he only said that he had a purpose to come here in a moment.

For unknown reasons, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and the others gathered together in fear.Seeing that the hour was about to be missed, Jia Zhen couldn't help becoming anxious.Just when he was about to speak, he saw a group of officials in fresh clothes and angry horses, surrounded by two large sedan chairs, swaying over.When Jia Zheng looked intently, it was Prince Zhongshun's sedan chair.He knew that Jia's family was not on good terms with Prince Zhongshun, so he cried out inwardly.The Zhongshun Prince showed his face slightly and asked the people below to read the imperial decree in the street, but it was the decree for Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son to be imprisoned.Jia Zheng was very surprised. When he wanted to ask a question, Prince Zhongshun would not answer. He just urged Jia Zheng and others to send the coffin out of the city, and threatened that the emperor's life was in his body, and ordered people to search the Rongguo Mansion in Ningguo Mansion, saying that there might be Tianli. The party hides.

With just one piece of imperial decree and only a stick of incense, Jia's family has been completely turned upside down, from a noble house deeply favored by the emperor to an ominous house suspected of treason.How could the Jia family dare to put on a show, they hastily ordered people to send Jia Amnesty's coffin outside the city and park it. When the family returned, they saw that the officers and soldiers of Lord Zhongshun had already copied many things from the Second Mansion of Rong and Ning.Prince Zhongshun sat in the sedan chair without showing his face, and was presided over by the chief historian who was close to him.The chief historian once came to Jia's house to ask for Jiang Yu's letter, and he had some feud with Jia's family. When he encountered such an opportunity, how could he let it go lightly? The Changcui nunnery where I live has not yet spread outside, and the dowries of the other wives and grandmas have all been turned over.

However, Jia's family was in bad luck. Someone with good eyesight found a large box of receipts for interest money from Wang Xifeng's house. Harbor stolen goods.Jia Lian was so angry that he drew out his sword in public to kill Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was so frightened that her face turned pale, and when she rushed all the way to seek shelter from Jia Mu, she saw Jia Mu sitting motionless in the Rongxi Hall, smiling as if she had fallen asleep.Wang Xifeng felt strange, one must know that Rongxi Hall is a dignified hall of Rongguo Mansion, and there is a plaque bestowed by the emperor on it, unless it is for entertaining dignitaries, few people would come in or out.Jia's mother is not here in daily life, so Wang Xifeng just thought it was the old lady who was frightened and tired for a while, closing her eyes and resting her mind. When she turned around and saw Jia Lian was coming to kill her with a sword, she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly pulled Unexpectedly, Jia's mother pulled her clothes, and Jia's mother threw her body upright.Wang Xifeng was stunned.Seeing this kind of scene, Jia Lian didn't care much about it. He threw away the sword, and Wang Xifeng and Wang Xifeng tried to help Jiamu get up.Wang Xifeng's thoughts moved slightly. At this time, she suddenly went to check on Jia Mu's breath. After a probe, there was no breath. Then, like a bucket of ice water, she poured it on her head, and it was cold from head to toe. She called out in a trembling voice: "Old lady... old lady This is……"

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian are both the most intelligent and unchangeable characters in the younger generation, but they were also shocked when they saw this scene.Jia Lian was startled by Jia Mu's death, and didn't care to kill Wang Xifeng again. The two looked at each other, Wang Xifeng was already pale, and wanted to call for someone at the gate of Rongxi Hall.Unexpectedly, there are many maids in the Jia family, ranging from first-class maids to low-class maids. Wang Xifeng felt flustered when she heard Caiming read the roster, but at this time, she didn't know why. Not a single maid could be seen.The Rongxi Hall was quiet inside and outside, and the gilded plaque was full of vitality in the dim light.

As soon as Jia Lian gritted his teeth, he went to the front and invited Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng over.At this time, Yuanyang was crying in front of Jia Mu, and Hu Po was holding a cup of tea, her eyes were glazed over. It turned out that Jia Mu came back from sending the spirit out and clamored for tea. It is expected that seeing the master's family is in trouble, they rush to pack up the things and plan to run away, even the other six first-class maids around Jiamu are like this.The two were very angry, but Amber had to go to the kitchen to find hot water to make tea with Jiamu.Here, Yuanyang serves Jiamu alone. Seeing Jiamu's expression is gloomy, she wants to beat her back with a beauty fist.Yuanyang originally wanted to take this opportunity to teach those maids who would go their own way when their master was in trouble, so she agreed, but who knew that going would be a farewell forever.

On the day of Jia Jing's funeral, the Jia family's house was ransacked. This was beyond the expectation of the Jia family members, and the sudden death of Jia's mother made them even more unacceptable.Originally, Jia's mother was old, and her mental exhaustion was not temporary, but the imperial physician often asked for her pulse, and she was always taking good care of her. Everyone in Jia's family expected that there would be no problem, thinking that they would probably be able to survive the wedding of Baoyu and Daiyu.I don't want the court to have major events, funerals, and wedding postponement. I don't want to say that these days, Jia's mother must be worrying about her children and grandchildren, worrying about her children and grandchildren. Unable to bear it any longer, he died forever.

Jia Mu's funeral was spent amidst quarrels.Wang Xifeng's usury matter was originally nothing, it was nothing more than a trivial matter in a dignitary's family, but it's a pity that Jia's family is down and down, and everyone pushes it down, so they use this as a crime and want to ask for guilt.Jia Lian is Wang Xifeng's husband, and Wang Xifeng used his name to put loan sharks outside, and he must be implicated in this matter, so he was so angry that he beat and scolded Wang Xifeng a few times, but he had no choice but to restrain himself To be captured.Unexpectedly, at this time, a bad thing Wang Xifeng did in the past was revealed again by a good person.But when Qin Keqing was going to be buried, the old nun used Jia Lian's name in order to match up the marriage between the daughter of a certain family in Chang'an City, Jin Ge'er, and the son of Chang'an Jieduyun's family, and ordered Jin Ge'er's original fiancé, the son of Guarding, to break off the engagement. , causing a pair of lovers to die in love.When Jia Lian was waiting to be arrested, he heard the news and knew that this was a life lawsuit, which was different from the previous loan sharks. I don't want to be taken advantage of by this person.

Mother Jia, one of Wang Xifeng's backers, has passed away. Originally, Mrs. Wang was her aunt, who could still protect her from the wind and rain. Unexpectedly, the matter of the Jia family's hiding of the Zhen family's property was completely pushed on Mrs. Wang's head by Jia Zheng.The Zhen family and the Jia family were originally family friends, and their relationship was incomparable to other families. Therefore, before the Zhen family was ransacked, the Jia family received rumors that they agreed to hide some of the Zhen family's property.Because those boxes were sent by the women of Zhen's family when they were unprepared, Madam Wang accepted them as the head of the house. But to find out the root cause, this matter was acquiesced by all Jia's family members including Jia's mother.Now that Jia Zheng sees that Jia's family is in turmoil, he decisively decides to abandon the car to protect the handsome man, determined to put all the charges on Mrs. Wang alone, and he is only willing to lightly bear the crime of negligence.It just so happened that Mrs. Wang's natal family could not protect themselves, so they wanted to draw a line with Mrs. Wang with a letter of divorce.

In addition, outsiders watched the Jia family lose power, and together with Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Jia Lian, they were prosecuted for many crimes. , murder for money.For a while, everyone in Jia's family wanted to clear the blame, and everyone wanted to pass the blame to others.

After Jia's house was ransacked, it was God's grace. Most of the dowries and private houses of the wives and grandmas were taken away during the ransacking, and a small part survived.Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, just a small part of the dowry and private houses of the wives and grandmas is enough for a well-off family to live for a lifetime, but it is easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance, and it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The wives and grandmas are worried They didn't pick up the back hand, sat and ate the mountain, and they all fell in love with the private house behind Jia's mother's death, especially Jia She's wife Xing.Before Jia's mother was alive, the mandarin ducks were responsible for keeping her body, so the Xing family tried their best to follow the mandarin duck's path.She is stupid and vicious, regardless of the national mourning and family mourning, and Jia She is trying to get rid of the crime, so she wants to force Yuanyang to marry Jia She as a concubine, planning to gain both money and life.

Because everyone in Jia's family was entangled in these matters, Jia's mother was paralyzed for several days, and there were very few worshippers, but Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Daiyu were by her side day and night.Baoyu was the most favored mother of Jia during her lifetime. She grew up in an atmosphere of wealth and honor. She never expected that the Jia family would collapse, the trees would fall, and the monkeys would disperse. Only a few months after the death of her sister Yuan Chun, the Jia family had fallen into ruins. To this step field.He was extremely sad, but seeing Jia's family turmoil against the sky every day, like chickens flying like dogs jumping, he was helpless. Even his wife, Mrs. Wang, was about to be abandoned by Jia Zheng. He had nothing to do. Jia Zheng had begged for a while, but Jia Zheng kicked him out. Every day, he had to stay with Tanchun and Daiyu in front of Jiamu's spirit and weep silently.

When Jia's mother was alive, Baoyu was Jia's mother's treasure, protecting her like a phoenix egg, so Tanchun respected Baoyu very much.Now that Jia's mother has passed away, Baoyu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, has also lost her power. Tanchun saw that Baoyu only knew how to cry beside their girls. You should fulfill your responsibilities as a man and take charge of the family with one shoulder, why do you have to act like a son and daughter here?"

While they were talking, they suddenly heard a loud commotion outside, and several people hurriedly looked up, but it was Wang Xifeng who ran in from outside with disheveled hair.She obviously hasn't slept well in the past few days, she looks very haggard, with a sallow face, Jia Lian follows her with a livid face, but luckily she doesn't carry a sharp sword with her.

Tanchun and Daiyu looked at each other, Tanchun got up immediately, and was about to persuade her, when she saw Wang Xifeng kowtowed a few times towards the end of Jiamu's coffin, crying and saying, "Forgive my granddaughter-in-law for not being able to serve you, etc." .Immediately afterwards, Wang Xifeng told Jia Lian: "One person does the work and the other person is responsible. I forced Jin Geer and the guard's son to death, I took the money, and I released the loan sharks. I will die anyway, so I will simply blame you for your crimes." Let me bear it too. You also give me a divorce letter, and ask for some grace, so that you only need to bear the crime of negligence. In this way, I can also be with my aunt on the way to Huangquan."

Jia Lian didn't say a word, but he looked relieved.As if he was afraid that Wang Xifeng would go back on his word, he threw the divorce papers he had carried in his arms on the ground, turned around and left.
