Red Mansion Kua Kua Group

Watching Jin Chan enter the meeting hall of the outer courtyard, the aunt also straightened her temples, changed into neat clothes, and prepared to follow her.

Because matters involving female family members should always be more cautious, the first one is fear of being bumped by people from outside, so Daiyu had long ago ordered someone to set up a red sandalwood base with splashed ink mica landscape screen in the inner study on the right arm of the main courtyard. , she took Mr. Bai and the nuns behind the screen.

After Jin Chan entered, she was naturally taken to the other side of the screen. She saluted Daiyu anxiously, raised her head and looked at the opposite side. The screen was cut from a whole piece of natural mica stone, and the base was of the highest quality. Made of red sandalwood, you can't see the situation on the other side at all.I could only hear a male voice from over there: "Since Mrs. Jin Chan is here, our brothers will start asking."

Before Jin Chan had time to think, she was confused by one question after another:

"Is Jinbao your brother?"

"Yes."

"There's an old woman in your family? Is there a mole on the right face?"

"Yes, my father died young, and there is only an old mother who takes us as brothers and sisters to live together."

"The Jin family only got rid of their slavery the year before last, but Jin Bao got into the bad habit of gambling immediately. Everyone in the big and small gambling houses in the capital knows him. But your mother has been watching Zhuangzi in Jia's mansion for decades, and her family background is shallow. Does Miss Jin Chan know where he got so much money?"

Jin Chan murmured in her heart: "I don't know, all the money earned by my family is handed over to my mother. Maybe it's because my mother loves my brother so much, I don't know if I squandered it on him."

"Humph! You're thinking fast. Let me ask you, do you know a slave girl named Liu Ye?"

Hearing this name, Jin Chan's face instantly turned pale, and she calmed down again in a blink of an eye, her hands unconsciously clutching her lower skirt tightly: "I don't know."

The man sneered from behind the screen: "You don't know? This is a new servant that the family bought last spring."

Jin Chan pretended to be calm, but her hands couldn't help trembling. She tried to hide her hands behind her skirt, raised her head, and argued, "This name is unusual. The slave's assistant, aunt, grandma, and housekeeper have been in charge for many years, and the slave who has handled it has a thousand-year-old servant." Eight hundred, how can I remember such a person."

"What a glib tongue! This willow leaf is originally from Yangzhou. The stepmother at home sold her and moved to Lin's mansion. This was her destiny, but who would have thought that she would not stay in Lin's mansion for two days?" , she was sent to the capital again, and she was accompanied by a group of sold slaves, under the guise of sending boxing gifts to the capital. But along the way, her companions were sold one after another, only She went to Beijing because she was too thin to be sold."

"But she didn't go to Jia's mansion, but went to a commoner's residence in the capital. She worked every day and was abused. Her master was an old woman with a mole on her right cheek, known as Mrs. Jin. abuse the servants of the house."

Hearing this, is there anything unclear?Jin Chan was so panicked that she was sweating profusely.

"Grandma Jin has a son and a daughter. She dotes on her son, even though his son has bad habits. It is only in the past few years that the family has accumulated some wealth through trading people. However, her son Jin Bao is addicted to gambling, and some of the surplus money in the family has been lost. Splurging in the casino, this spring he was so jealous of gambling, there was nothing else to gamble at home, and he took out a loan shark, and the person who came to collect the debt went to Jin's house, intending to take that Liu Ye'er away to pay off the debt. It is rumored that the creditor is still alive The habit of swallowing a young girl's breasts to prolong life is naturally willing to have this young girl pay off the debt."

"It's also her cleverness. Liu Ye'er has long overheard the conversation between the Jin family's mother and son. In order to survive, she ran out ahead of time, and stopped Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin's incense sedan chair in the capital. .”

Only then did Qingwen interject: "No wonder our Lin family checked the roster of servants a few days ago and found that several people were wrong. It turned out that they were all sold by Jin Chan."

The man behind the screen said: "Originally, I was worried that he was a fugitive slave from the Lin family, and Mr. Jing Zhaoyin is familiar with Mr. Lin, so he took advantage of our brother's coming to Yangzhou to tell Mr. Ming Lin, and now he comes to listen. Come on, Liu Ye was indeed killed by a traitor."

Jin Chan was sweating profusely when she heard this. As a auntie's confidant, she has been buying and selling people with her auntie all these years. As for these people, some reported their sudden death, and some still held silver taels on the list of servants in the Lin family.

The aunt also came in, she heard this under the eaves just now, she couldn't help but secretly hate, she had already told Jin Chan to wipe out all the traces of those people, who would have thought that Jin Chan's little hoof would be so bold as to give up It's all right to be ordered by Mrs. Trace, but a servant was allowed to run out.It is conceivable how much Jin Chan has been greedy behind her back.

Forget it, I will settle accounts with her about Jin Chan in the future, the most urgent thing is to get rid of myself first, now that the girl is in charge of the house, this will naturally settle the matter.

In a few moments, the auntie had a decision in her heart, and she raised her voice: "This slave who betrayed the master actually secretly sold the people in the house. I saw her as a clever person before, but I didn't expect to be in front of her. set!"

Jin Chan raised her head in disbelief.She stared at Auntie's face for a long time, but didn't see what she wanted. Jin Chan suddenly understood what Auntie was thinking, and her face quickly turned pale.

She walked to the aunt's side on her knees: "Auntie, grandma, help me! Help me!", she begged desperately for mercy, and tightly swayed the hem of the auntie's skirt with both hands.

The auntie brushed her hand away without moving her expression: "Now that your brother and you are both convicted of stealing and selling the servants of the Lin family, what should we do with your mother at home? You can rest assured that you have been with me for a while. For the sake of it, I will take good care of your mother."

This is a threat, Jin Chan screamed, she really didn't expect her aunt to be so cold.

Her mind was spinning quickly, and suddenly she remembered something, and she screamed and shouted: "This is what my aunt instructed me!", just now she didn't say anything about it, and she was counting on her aunt to help her. Speaking for himself, seeing that my aunt is going to treat herself as an abandoned child, I can't help biting her into the water.

Auntie stared at Jin Chan in disbelief: "Are you a madman? You have done a good deed, but you also dragged the master into it?" She saw no regrets on Jin Chan's face, and then she suddenly came to her senses. , That's right, Jin Chan's mother doted on her son and cheated Jin Chan for life. It's no wonder she remembered to take care of her mother at this moment.

He quickly turned around and said: "Since it is the Lin family's own business, the master of the government will not take people. From now on, we will deal with it according to our Lin family's family rules. You girl must be worried that your mother will have no one to depend on, so you have gone astray for a while. Don't worry, I will intercede for you when the master comes back."

When these words came to the point, Jin Chan's expression gradually became more lively, but she heard Qingwen sneer: "Why is it a temporary obsession? I checked the booklet and found that there are several years of lack of servants. It is obvious that he is a habitual offender! Plus On the way, servants must be tortured and killed! There are so many lives, according to the Lin family's family law, no matter what!" He slapped the flower book in his hand on the table.

The faces of Jin Chan and the auntie turned bad again, and the auntie rolled her eyes: "This girl is obsessed with money, and the girl should calm down soon. What to do with the family now is the business of the Lin family. It is serious to send the poor men away first. , don't let people watch our family's affairs and pester them endlessly, making people laugh at the lack of rules in the Lin family."

"Wait!" Qingwen stopped, the auntie was looking for a way to calm things down when she saw that it was impossible to turn the tide, Qingwen couldn't let her succeed, "Although it is an affair of the Lin family, but it involves traffickers, and the gangsters outside cooperate with each other. If we don’t check it out today, is it possible that outsiders will bully us to the top of our Lin Mansion in the future? One is a traitor today, and the other is going to collude into the mansion to murder and set fire to it tomorrow?”

She dismissed what the auntie said in a few words, and the auntie blushed a little bit: "Well, you sharp-tongued girl, I can't say no to you! But how can the maids interrupt when the masters are talking?! Calling people It's a joke that the Lin family's family style is not strict."

Daiyu has been silent for a long time, and then she said: "Auntie, I have allowed Qingwen to speak today, and she is what I mean."

Jinchan listened to their talk and didn't mention the matter of exonerating herself, and climbed to the feet of the auntie again, shaking the corner of the skirt of the auntie, but was spotted by the sharp-eyed Qingwen, clapping her hands and laughing: "No wonder you Auntie insists on muddying the water today. If you want me to tell you, if something happens to your slave, the master should be the first to avoid suspicion. How can anyone rush to help? It makes people think that what this slave does is mostly the same as The master can't delay the relationship..."

She intentionally raised the end of her voice and dragged it long, with a pensive expression on her face, the aunt immediately ticked off: "Miss Qingwen, don't talk nonsense, how can this kind of slave who bully men and women collude with me? , It’s serious to deal with it quickly.”

Qingwen was very cooperative, and waved her right hand: "Come here, these two women, tie up Jin Chan and hand it over to the adults on the opposite side."

Two strong women stepped forward and clamped Jin Chan's wrists, and were about to tie her up with thick hemp rope. Jin Chan panicked, screamed hastily, and struggled on the ground.Unexpectedly, he was no match for the women, and was soon dragged by the women like a bag of dirt to cross the screen.

Jin Chan tried her best to break the red sandalwood base of the screen, and struggled to shout out in her throat: "Miss, I am wronged, I did not do this alone."

The author has something to say: I made wife cakes today, and the puff pastry fell off, and it was quite delicious.I used purple sweet potato stuffing, bought purple sweet potato to help farmers, and found that there were so many that I couldn’t eat it at all, so how can I eat purple sweet potato besides making stuffing.

In the evening, I made braised chicken feet. Praise the enamel pot. I used the pot from L’s house. The fragrance of the spices will not be lost at all. I am grateful. I really hate the loss of the efficacy of the spices during the cooking process.

Forced to cook at home these days, I found that spices are really the light of mankind. No wonder they are so expensive in history, and they are expensive for a reason.
