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

When Daiyu came to Jia's mansion a few years ago, she brought two people with her, one was the nanny Wang Momo, and the other was Xueyan.The nanny Wang Momo was already very old. After serving Daiyu in Jia's mansion for several years and then went south with Daiyu to go to the funeral, she returned to her hometown to take care of herself. She never followed Daiyu back to Jia's mansion.Therefore, Xueyan was the only person Daiyu brought with her from the Lin family.This time, Daiyu was going to find Baochai with an excuse, not because she was really taken care of by Lin Ruhai's old friend, so it was inconvenient to bring many people with her. The rest of the maids and nuns who served Daiyu had their hearts fluttering, and she managed to get rid of them long ago, but One person rewarded some silver, and everyone was grateful and chanting Buddha.

When there was no one around, Daiyu asked Xueyan to avoid her, called Zijuan to her, and said to her, "I'm leaving Jia's house now, and I won't come back again. You were originally given to me by the old lady. We are like sisters on weekdays, but your mother and mother are here. I want to leave now, but I want to ask you the truth, what are your plans now?"

Zijuan was shocked when she heard this and said: "Could it be that the girl wants to leave me?" Then she said: "Don't dare to hide the truth from the girl. Although my mother is here, they are all living with my brother and sister-in-law now. If I go back, I'm afraid there will be no room for her at home." In the past, she was only optimistic about Baoyu, hoping that after Daiyu married Baoyu, she would be able to be Daiyu's housemaid.Now that the Jia family is in turmoil, and Baoyu's own future is uncertain, such plans should not be raised again, not to mention that people's hearts are fluctuating, and many servants want to find another high-ranking branch.

Daiyu lowered her head and murmured, in the midst of a dilemma, Zijuan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Miss is so determined to go, could it be Miss Bao, is there any news?"

Daiyu was shocked, and wanted to hide it, but Zijuan said: "I have served the girl for many years. Although I couldn't understand the girl's mind a few years ago, don't you know it now? Aunt Xue drove Miss Bao away that day. When I was at home, the girl was depressed for a long time. Could it be that I didn't realize it when I served the girl? It's just that I pretended not to know because I thought that Miss Bao and Miss were going to marry. Later, when Miss Bao’s sad news came, I took it seriously. Seeing the girl’s pale face, I was puzzled, but Sister Yuanyang secretly told me these days that Miss Bao should still be alive. I didn’t believe it at first. I don't even want the money at the bottom of the box, and I want to leave Jia's house, so I realized it. If that's the case, please take me with you! Besides me, Sister Yuanyang also wants to ask the lady to take her out of the sea of ​​suffering." One side said , Kneeling down facing Daiyu.

Daiyu was hesitant to take Zijuan away at first, but she was taken aback by what she said, and thought to herself that fortunately Zijuan was willing to cover up for her at that time, otherwise the matter would have caused such a commotion to Mother Jia. .Hearing Zijuan mention the mandarin duck again, he wondered: "It's very good, does sister Yuanyang want to leave Jia's mansion too?"

Zijuan said: "Exactly. Sister Yuanyang is a delicate person. She said that she secretly went out of the house to see Lian's second grandmother a few days ago. When she saw Qianxue Xiaohong and the others, she guessed that Miss Bao was still alive. It's because the old man forced her to The pressure was tight, and the Jin family thought about delaying this for a while, finding someone else to hire her randomly, earning a few taels of silver, and they were really desperate, so they came to beg the girl."

Daiyu has always admired Yuanyang as a person, knowing that although Yuanyang is only the son of the Jia family, she has a high spirit and has always kept herself clean. , agreed in one gulp.When I said goodbye the next day, I said goodbye to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng first, and sent Yuanyang and others to the west corner gate. When people were not prepared, they boarded the car and left in a hurry.The gatekeepers were all arranged by Yuanyang with money in advance, so they did not report the situation.When Jia Amnesty couldn't find the mandarin ducks, he realized that Daiyu had taken her away. He couldn't help being furious, and ordered someone to demand him. After taking the post, Jing Zhaoyin came to pay a visit in person, and now even if he went to the Yamen to beat the drums and appeal for grievances, it would take a lot of trouble. Now is the time of trouble, why go to war for a fugitive slave?" Jia Zheng also persuaded "Is there any reason for an uncle and niece to rob people?" Jia Amnesty broke out several times at home, and finally sent someone to look for the address Daiyu said, but found that there was no such thing, and not only did the mandarin ducks disappear. The figure, even Daiyu, has never been there.

Now Jia's house was shaken.Pian Baoyu has been nagging since Daiyu left. Others just think he has always been like this and ignore him, but now they hear him say, "Sister Lin left on purpose. She didn't like this marriage in the first place. The elder sister of the noble concubine forcibly made it happen. Now that the ancestors and the elder sister of the imperial concubine have gone, she is happy to go. It is a pity that I am not even as good as a woman!" Everyone was dubious and wanted to ask Baoyu if Daiyu had another sweetheart At that time, Baoyu just shook his head and refused to answer, but he could only let him go.

But Daiyu didn't go out for a long time in the car, when Jia Yun came to greet her in person, and the group walked through the capital in secret, and finally entered Yao Jing's house through the back door.Baochai finally saw Daiyu again. Both of them had gone through ups and downs. They cried bitterly when they met, and were finally persuaded. Daiyu wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Now the imperial concubine and grandmother are gone. After the death of the immortal, during the period of national filial piety and family filial piety, no one mentioned marriage anymore. You and my sister can also live together for a few days in peace." Looking around again, he praised: "When you said something about daughter valley earlier, I just took it as You are whimsical, you never imagined that today is here. It’s a mess outside, but this place is a paradise, which can be a refuge for your daughter and me. I just hope that I don’t have to go out for the rest of my life.”

Baochai said: "It's all thanks to Mr. Yao's blessing. It's just doing your best and obeying the destiny. Once the emperor and the courtiers, the rise and fall are all the way of heaven, and no man can peep." There is a deep worry in the eyebrows.

Daiyu knew that she was worried about the fate of the four families of Shi Xue, king of Jia, but she didn't point it out. She just took her to enjoy the scenery in the garden, talked about romantic articles every day, and even took Baochai to go to Miao Drinking tea at Yu's place, he said to Baochai privately, "I never imagined that you have such extensive acquaintances, and even Miaoyu, who is so high-spirited, is willing to come here!"

After this incident, Jia Zheng discussed with Jia Shen to reduce the cost of food and clothing in the mansion. He was not good at common affairs, so he took the opportunity to hand over all the big and small matters of the Rongguo Mansion to Jia Shen.Jia She also didn't like to take care of things. Although Mrs. Xing was eager to try, Jia She looked down on her even more, because Ping'er used to assist Wang Xifeng in handling affairs, so she pushed her to take care of it.Seeing that the family could not make ends meet, Ping'er had no choice but to send out all the maids and women who were bought for the construction of the Grand View Garden. List.Yao Jing is a kind person, so she discussed with Baochai and tried to lure all the actresses who had nowhere to go back to this place.When the Jia Mansion was prosperous, it was simply impossible to do it. Now, the horse dealer Wang Duanleg and others made a bridge out of it.

All of a sudden, Yao Jing's house was full of Yingying and Yanyan, all of whom were old acquaintances in Jia's house.Because Yao Jing's family could no longer live there, Yuanyang and Grandma Liu's family took the actresses to live in Daughter's Valley outside the city, where they taught them to spin and weave to earn some money.Why did actresses do this?It is inevitable to be in a hurry.But they also know that the world is hard, and they know that singing is not a long-term place to go. The daughter's family always has to learn the work of the body, so one or two learn very hard.

Because Baochai had to worry about business matters, she still lived in the city, and Daiyu was by her side, doing random needlework with Zijuan and Xueyan every day. When Zijuan was alone, she secretly teased her and said: In Jia's mansion, Master Bao begged for it thousands of times, but the girl was too lazy to cut it for half a year. She made a fan cover with great difficulty, but she was angry again. Now she lives here with Miss Bao, the needle and thread But I am much more diligent." Daiyu said with a slightly red face, "I don't know why, these days my illness seems to be much better, and I feel refreshed day by day." When Mr. Shi Yao was treating the girl, he said that your symptoms are exactly the opposite. I'm afraid that if you stay with each other for a few more years, even the root cause of the disease will be gone."

Suddenly one day, Jia Yun came to report that Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and other men of the Jia family were all arrested by the court and wanted to be charged with treason. When I inquired about the details, I found out that although Jia's family spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the wall was overthrown and everyone wanted to make trouble. Indebted, I can't help but sigh regretfully, with a gloomy look on my face.

Seeing the hesitation on Jia Yun's face, Baochai hurriedly asked why. Jia Yun stammered and said that it was Tanchun, the third girl from the Rongguo Mansion, who watched coldly. From a few clues, she guessed that Baochai was still alive, and repeatedly asked Jia Yun that something was wrong. Begging, to see her.Baochai thought of Tanchun's usual life, and readily agreed.But she didn't want Tanchun to want to enter the Beijing Palace as a concubine. Knowing that Baochai had something to do with the Beijing Palace, she wanted to follow her way.Everyone listened to Tanchun's impassioned statement: "The wall is down and everyone pushes it. Now the men of Jia's family are in prison, and their property has been confiscated. It is easy to have a few loyal ones, but there are still people outside who are trying to get their ideas. We all know who the attacker is. She is the aunt next to the second brother. According to the regulations, she was given two taels of silver every month. The hateful Lord Zhongshun knew this clearly, but he refused to give up and insisted on taking Xiren away. The dignified Jia family actually fell into such a situation, second brother If I come back, how can I see him face to face!"

Baochai was silent.This thing happened in the previous life.It was probably because Baoyu was undisciplined outside and often teased others while eating wine. Everyone outside knew that there was a maid in Jia's mansion called Xiren, who was Baoyu's "treasure" and was the most gentle and considerate.As lustful as Prince Zhongshun, somehow he heard about Xiren's reputation, so he wanted to go.Where Xiren was willing to go, it was Baochai, the titular second grandmother of Baochai, who had the overall situation in mind and reluctantly persuaded her to go.When the attacker left, tears flowed, and he repeatedly cried and begged to "keep Musk Moon anyway", but a few months later, the Jia family's wealth was almost exhausted, and it was difficult to even eat porridge. Walk.Xiren was tortured in Prince Zhongshun's mansion. Fortunately, Baoyu's former friend Jiang Yuhan was there to protect him. Afterwards, Jiang Yuhan somehow coaxed Prince Zhongshun into great joy, and rewarded Xiren with Jiang Yuhan. , it can be regarded as another chance.

Tanchun didn't think so, and said to Baochai: "The men of the Jia family have committed crimes and are in prison. But how can I just watch the Jia family go down like this? I heard that the prince of Beijing He is the most courteous and virtuous corporal, and he has quite a bit of face in the court, even the loyal and obedient prince, he must be given three points. I also ask Sister Bao to introduce her."

Tanchun is an unmarried girl, so when she said such words, she couldn't help being ashamed, her pink cheeks flushed, but Baochai understood the meaning of those words.Baochai was a little surprised at first, he didn't expect Tanchun to be so courageous, but when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't surprising.In her previous life, Tanchun willingly became the adoptive daughter of the princess of Nan'an County and married Fanbang for the safety of her family. Now she wants to marry the King of Beijing, but she is much better than Fanbang.

The King of Beijing Jing loves poetry very much, and when Tanchun presented several poems, the King of Beijing Jing really looked at Tanchun differently.Although it is said that marriage is forbidden in the country's filial piety, Tanchun is willing to follow the king of Beijing without any name or distinction, but it is not hindered by etiquette.With Tanchun's spirit and talent, if he is determined to flatter someone, he must be very flattering. Apart from being pleased, King Beijing felt a little more guilty towards Tanchun.This guilt finally benefited the Jia family. With the kind words of King Beijing from the sidelines, the emperor finally missed the old love and only executed the family of Ningguo Mansion. Huan and Jialan were released.
