Honglou Xing

In the evening, when Jia Amnesty came back, Xing handed him the post immediately.Jia Amnesty was originally full of interest and wanted to tell Xing about his itinerary for the day and what he had seen and heard, but when he saw the contents of the post, he frowned and lost all interest.

"Are you worried?" Xing raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Jia Amnesty looked at Xing Shi, felt that she had some evil ideas, and asked her opinion.

Mrs. Xing sighed, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm a woman, and I don't know much about official affairs. It's all up to the master."

"The old prince is kind to me. If he hadn't helped me and recommended me to the sage together with several dignitaries, I wouldn't have the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and I wouldn't be able to be a minister today."

Xing smiled lightly: "Master is still a grateful person."

"Are you mocking me?" Jia She raised his eyebrows and asked Xing's provocatively.

With a smile on the corner of Xing's mouth, he shook his head. "I don't dare to be a concubine!"

"Hey, you've claimed to be a concubine, but you want to comfort your husband?" Jia She said and reached out to Xing Shi's chest.

Xing smiled and slapped his hand off, cursing: "When is it, you are still joking, don't you worry?"

"My daughter-in-law has made up her mind, what else should I worry about?" Jia She said comfortably.

"The old prince supported you back then, and all civil and military officials in the court knew it. If you openly refuse to meet the young prince now, you will be pointed out that you are ungrateful. It is not easy for you to refuse to the King of Beijing, but if you openly If you get together with Wang Ziteng and the First Prince, others don't need to think about it, and you will be grouped together." Xing analyzed for him.

"It's not good to go, it's not good to not go, this is the most difficult part of this matter. Otherwise, how about I say I'm sick at home?" Jia She asked.

"You're fine now, but you suddenly fell ill two days later, who would believe it? It's no different from directly rejecting the invitation of King Beijing Jing." Xing said.

Jia She frowned and nodded, agreeing with Xing's reasoning.Now who doesn't want to see someone, don't they all use the excuse of being sick?This reason is indeed somewhat useless.

"Judging from the matter of selling an official, this eldest prince is not a prudent talent. If he acts too impulsively, he will not be able to become a great weapon. We can't have anything to do with them. In the future, the prince will be able to do it himself. There is Tianbao, and the King of Beijing also has someone more powerful to protect him. As for us, Rongning and Ningfu will only benefit from you. If you fall, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind."

Jia She nodded: "So we need to handle this matter carefully, it's a trouble."

"For the current plan, you are going, but you must clearly draw a clear relationship with the First Prince and others."

Jia She raised his eyebrows slightly, and sighed pretending to be sad: "That's not easy."

Xing thought that Jia She was really worried, so she felt it was time to speak out her thoughts. "I've been thinking about this post for a day, and now we can only drill down on the words. King Beijing Jing didn't say that you can't bring people there. You can simply bring a few good colleagues. The more the better, the better. A few people who are friends with other princes. Once you go to pay your respects, King Beijing can't stop you, and the eldest prince can't do anything to you. And you deliberately brought so many people there, and indirectly Others have shown your innocence."

Jia Amnesty squinted his eyes and clapped his hands with a smile: "Daughter-in-law is a good idea! This move not only cleared up the relationship with the First Prince, but also declared my innocence to everyone, and also made King Beijing understand my position. I believe that if he will still Standing on the side of the eldest prince, you will definitely come to me without knowing the fun. The most important thing is to be kind, to settle the matter amicably, and not to offend anyone. The only thing that can make the eldest prince and King Jing It's a little embarrassing, but it's okay for them to get angry, and it's not a big deal."

"That's the reason!" Mrs. Xing heaved a sigh of relief.

Jia She hugged Xingshi strangely, and gently rubbed Xingshi's forehead with his hard chin. "You are really my lucky star. With you in this life, I am worthy of being a human being."

Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard Jia She's strange words of "be worthy of being a human being", and then thought that this guy has been a ghost for thousands of years.For him, these words may already be the best 'sweet words'.

Xing put her arms around Jia She's waist and leaned into her arms, full of gratitude in her heart.She also thanked the heaven for giving her a chance to be reborn. After meeting Jia She, she understood the truth that even ordinary life can lead to happiness.In this life, she doesn't want to be rich and powerful, but only wants the family to be safe and successful, to be well fed and clothed, and to have continuous happiness.

Early the next morning, Jia Amnesty followed Xing's suggestion and went around by car to invite colleagues with good relationships.Ask them to show their face and accompany Jia Shecheng to the Beijing Palace to "thick-skinned".

Mrs. Xing was not idle either, she checked the accounts early in the morning, arranged all the affairs in the mansion properly, and then listened to the steward to report the recent Zhuangzi's situation.

"This autumn has a good harvest of grain, and the production capacity of late rice has increased to 4 catties per mu. The business of the shops is also good, but the jade shop is the most profitable, and the price of one piece is worth dozens of other shops. After this year, especially when it is approaching At the end of the year, it is estimated that there will be a profit of [-] to [-] taels."

Mrs. Xing nodded: "It's not bad, you have to remind me at the end of the year to give more rewards to the servants."

"My wife is charitable, I thank my wife for them." Wang Shanbao's family knelt down and kowtowed cheerfully.

Mrs. Xing ignored the ceremony, estimated the time in her head, frowned and said, "What time is it now? Why doesn't Baoyu come?"

Wang Shanbao's family was busy sending someone to remind him, and soon the little maid came back and said: "Second Master Bao just got up, and he said he will be here soon."

Xing sneered, picked up the tea sideways, and waited slowly.

After burning incense, Baoyu appeared in a carmine red brocade dress.

"The night before last, I heard that you drank and couldn't get up the next day, so I stayed with you for an extra day. Why, today you are too drunk to get up again?"

Baoyu was afraid of the majesty of the Xing family, and he hesitated for a long time in embarrassment, before replying in a low voice: "The other night I felt guilty for missing my second sister's big wedding, so I drank a few more glasses and made my aunt worry about it. Last night I really I didn't drink, just because I missed someone in my heart, went to bed late, and got up late this morning."

"Missing someone?" Xing looked at Baoyu's mouth with cold eyes and sarcasm, and he really could say it.

"En!" Baoyu nodded obediently, proud of it.

"You can say nonsense in front of my family, but think about what you wanted to say in front of the wives yesterday."

Baoyu looked at Xing in surprise, and said innocently: "Auntie, have you misunderstood something? I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. I understand this bit of etiquette!"

"Understood? If you understand, you will chase other girls and run in recklessly? It's okay to be rude and make everyone laugh, but you still want to mention your sister Lin. You just got engaged, have you forgotten?"

Baoyu looked at Xing in disbelief, frowned and retorted: "Nephew doesn't know what dirty things Auntie is thinking about, but I am wholeheartedly devoted to Sister Lin, and my heart is very pure, but I don't have any unclean thoughts."

"I don't care if you have any thoughts. What I care about is the trouble and consequences your stupid behavior has caused me. You consciously clean yourself, but what if others think you are unclean? You screamed in front of people , Missing the life of an innocent girl, can you afford it?"

"Why can't I afford it?" Baoyu can tolerate other things, but for sister Lin's matter, he must fight to the death today.

"Hehe, what a joke, how dare you answer me with such outrageous words. You know what your identity is, Sister Lin, the only daughter of a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts. You are already engaged, so it is impossible to marry another one. One husband and two wives are not possible." ?” Since ancient times, this man has only had one wife, and if there are too many, he will be sentenced to prison, even the royal relatives are no exception.How can he, Jia Baoyu, have this ability?

"I—" Baoyu was at a loss for words, and had no reason to argue.He clutched his chest in pain, and when he thought of the fact that he was engaged and would never be able to marry Sister Lin again, he couldn't help feeling regretful.

"Outsiders say that the two stone lions at the entrance of our Rongguo Mansion are cleaner. At first I was puzzled when I heard this, and complained for my own family. Today I have seen your ability. It is true that there are people like you who will There are rumors like that coming out. Since you are already engaged, just watch over your future daughter-in-law in peace and order, and stop wishful thinking. "

Baoyu was scolded and cried by Mrs. Xing, and she still insisted on saying: "I was just impatient at the time and wanted to be called Sister Lin. I never wanted to tarnish her reputation. She understands me, and she will understand."

Xing sneered helplessly, there was nothing he could do with Baoyu.Obviously she is not of the same kind as Baoyu, and normal human reasoning is useless to him.

If the words are not easy to use, the board should always be easy to use.

"You almost ruined the family's reputation and polluted Jia's family style. As the mistress of the Rong Mansion, your eldest aunt, it is not too much to teach you a lesson. Come here, enforce the family law, thirty sticks, one cane Don't give me a break."

After Xing finished speaking, he got up and left the house, turned to the wing room to drink tea and wait.She can't see filth/filth, let alone Baoyu is not clean in her eyes now.

There was a muffled sound of boards next door, but it was fairly quiet.

The servants tactfully blocked Baoyu's mouth, so as not to disturb the mood of the eldest lady.The older lady just trained the steward and killed chickens to make an example to monkeys.That's the case for those who have a backer, but those who don't have a backer should be careful and behave themselves.

The wooden stick slapped Baoyu's buttocks, which was called ruthless. Baoyu's whole body was fixed, only his head could move.As soon as the board came down, he shook his head in pain, his eyes full of resentment and complaints.

……

After Yingchun's wedding, Daiyu became unhappy at home.She recalled that when she was in Rongfu, she used Baoyu as a good person, and she felt very regretful in her heart, complaining that she didn't know people at the beginning.

Lin Ruhai noticed that her daughter was in a bad mood these two days, but she couldn't ask why.Then he explained the matter to his new wife, Mrs. Hu.After Daiyu comforted her several times, Fang told Hu about her grievances.

Lin Ruhai learned that her daughter was bullied by Baoyu in the Shangshu Mansion that day after being told by the Hu family.

Is this okay?

How could the Lin family's daughter be bullied by that swinger whenever he wanted to?

Lin Ruhai was furious, so she immediately walked out the door and went straight to Rongfu, where she found out that Baoyu was still in Shangshufu.Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and went straight to the Shangshu Mansion.Jia Amnesty was not there, so Lin Ruhai had no choice but to wait outside the mansion for the time being, and when his second wife, Mrs. Hu, arrived, he would formally knock on the door for a visit.

Lin Ruhai came here full of anger, he must settle his account today.

The servant girl led Lin Ruhai into the main room, and turned right to the side room.

Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled, he had been to this Shangshu mansion several times, and the Xing family lived in the main room, why did he suddenly go to the wing room today?

Lin Ruhai frowned and pondered, thinking anxiously, could it be that my sister-in-law was not favored and was dismissed by Brother She?Earlier, the uncle he knew was a real womanizer, but he changed for some reason later.When people's temperaments change, could it be that elder brother Xi has returned to his previous appearance and neglected his sister-in-law?

The thought flashed by, and Lin Ruhai shook his head with a smile.The elder sister-in-law is also a powerful and virtuous wife, with her determination and fierceness, how can she allow others to bully her?

Lin Ruhai was worried after all, so he entered the wing with concern.As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Xing drinking tea leisurely in the room with a calm expression, so he knew that he was worrying too much.But what is the reason for Xing to avoid coming to the wing?

Xing smiled and let the couple sit down.This was the first time Xing Shi met Hu Shi after Lin Ruhai got married.Before the Spring Festival wedding, Hu's father was ill, so he didn't have time to come.

Xing looked at Hu, with an oval face, wearing a light green plain gown with three inlaid gold plates, black hair tied into a hibiscus bun, creamy skin, bright red cheeks, very energetic.

Xing smiled and asked how her father's condition was.

"It's also strange, we came and left so quickly, our whole family is Amitabha." Hu said with a crisp smile.

Mrs. Xing nodded: "Good thing, I'm sure your father is not allowed to see you, and I'm so happy that my illness will be cured."

Hu lowered her head and smiled shyly: "I don't have that ability." But she was lucky enough to marry Lin Ruhai as his wife, which was also a blessing from her previous life, and the whole family was happy for her.Although her husband is nearly 20 years older than her, he is a person who knows the cold, the hot, and the loving.The room is also very clean, there is not even a connecting room, just treat her wholeheartedly.She came out of the palace at such an old age, and she could fall into such a good marriage, Hu's heart was already satisfied.

When Lin Ruhai saw that Xing and Hu had finished their courtesies, she hurriedly asked her where Baoyu was.

Xing heard that Lin Ruhai's tone was wrong, and her previous guess was confirmed.Lin Ruhai came here in a hurry, really to settle accounts with Baoyu.

Mrs. Xing pointed in the direction of the big room, and said to Lin Ruhai in a calm tone, "I'm sitting on the board in the main hall. Brother-in-law Lin, if you're not afraid of getting your eyes dirty, you can go and have a look."

"I have something to tell him." Lin Ruhai got up and went out decisively to find Baoyu in the main room.

Mrs. Xing kept Mrs. Hu drinking tea, eating melon seeds and chatting together.

"You should pay attention to that girl Daiyu's marriage. I heard from the master that the talents and studies of the candidates this autumn are better than before. There are many candidates with satisfactory family backgrounds and talents. You and brother-in-law Lin are looking for them patiently. Don't be in a hurry, check it out and see if there is really no problem, then make a decision."

"I must listen to my sister-in-law. If there is something we don't understand as husband and wife in the future, we will have to trouble my sister-in-law to worry about it for us. Other things can be settled, but the girl's marriage must not be settled." Hu sincerely laughed.

Seeing that she was really worried about Daiyu, Xing felt more relieved, nodded and stopped talking.

After a while, Lin Ruhai turned around and came back, his face was not as ugly as when he just entered the door.He was holding back his words to teach Baoyu a lesson, but when he entered the room, he saw Baoyu lying face down on a long wooden bench, his hands and feet were bound and held down, and the wooden stick was beaten down heavily, without any ambiguity at all.Lin Ruhai made a detour and sat in front of Baoyu for a while, seeing him shaking his head in extreme pain, Lin Ruhai finally calmed down a lot of resentment in his heart.

Baoyu first saw Uncle Lin, with a look of prayer on his face.Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin sat in front of him calmly, watching him being beaten with a sneer.Baoyu was extremely disappointed, it doesn't matter if he has a ruthless uncle or aunt, even Uncle Lin is so cold-blooded.It's no wonder that Sister Lin has learned badly since she followed his father, and she doesn't care about him if she doesn't believe him.

A wooden stick came down again, and Baoyu's buttocks were torn apart in pain. He screamed, but his mouth was tightly blocked, and he couldn't utter a sound.This is the Shangshu Mansion, there is no ancestor and mother to protect him.Baoyu was weeping pitifully, and missed the kindness of his ancestors very much.He's going home, he's going home...

When the last two sticks came down, Baoyu passed out from the pain.The nanny asked the eldest lady for instructions, and carried Baoyu back to the place where she lived before, and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for her.

As soon as his trousers were taken off, Baoyu woke up in pain again, screaming and crying unbearably, and then clamored to see his ancestors.She Yue was so frightened that her face was full of tears, she quickly nodded to indicate that she would go to inform her ancestors to pick her up.Only then did Baoyu calm down a bit, and screamed and endured the doctor's application of medicine to his buttocks.Because of the injury to his buttocks, he couldn't move, so he could only lie face down on the bed, motionless.After a long time, and with the resentment in his heart, Baoyu felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and was even more uncomfortable and aggrieved, tears of grievance flowed down.

Musk Moon walked out of the house and headed for the back door of Shangshu Mansion.She was sneaky along the way and hid well. Fortunately, no one caught her.Seeing that he was about to reach the back door, Musk Moon heaved a sigh of relief and rushed forward quickly.

"Ms. Musk Moon, where are you going?" Wang Shanbao's family suddenly appeared behind Musk Moon.

She Yue was shocked, turned her head to see her, smiled guiltyly, and collected all available excuses in her mind, preparing to prevaricate Wang Shanbao's family.

"No matter what you do when you go out, you should know the rules, let me know in advance, and you can only leave with permission."

Musk Moon choked and couldn't say anything.She bowed her head and hurriedly apologized for her mistake.

"It's a good thing we don't have such an unruly second-class maid like you, otherwise we would have messed up."

Hearing Wang Shanbao's family's blunt tone, Sheyue knew that she would not be punished lightly if she was caught this time, so she knelt down and begged Wang Shanbao's family to let her go.

"I really can't help you with this matter. I'm not afraid to tell you. My wife had expected that the second master would send someone out, so she arranged for me to wait here." Wang Shanbao's family sneered and said loudly, "Let's go, follow me See Mrs.

When Sheyue heard about the eldest wife, she was so frightened that she cried bitterly, and beat Wang Shanbao's family even more diligently.

Wang Shanbao's family picked up Sheyue, and while pulling her back, reminded her coldly: "Don't blame me for not notifying you in advance. A few days ago, my relative was still in charge, and just because he said a word of no If you follow the rules, you will be scolded very badly by the eldest wife. The eldest wife usually hates maids who deliberately do not obey the rules. If they are rough-handed and drop bottles, no matter how expensive they are, as long as they are not sincere, the wife will be willing. Yes, you can avoid the fault. But if you do it intentionally and knowingly, the punishment must be the most severe!"

Musk Moon shuddered even more when she heard the words, she didn't even have any hope or possibility of being forgiven.What is the difference between this going and going to die?Despair and remorse hit Musk Moon's brain, and now she regrets nothing but regrets.It's only to blame that she has become frivolous after serving in front of Second Master Bao all these years, and unconsciously forgot her duty.

Mrs. Xing sent Lin Ruhai and his wife away, and as soon as they turned around and sat down, Wang Shanbao's family brought Sheyue over.

Before Wang Shanbao's family could speak, Xing raised his hand and said coldly, "Do whatever you want."

Wang Shanbao's family responded respectfully, and then dragged Musk Moon away.

Not reconciled, Musk Moon hurriedly struggled and knelt down in front of Mrs. Xing, and kowtowed vigorously to apologize for her mistake.

Xiaohong waited by Xing's side, and seeing the miserable state of Sheyue who had laughed at her, she couldn't help feeling that the world was impermanent, and she felt even more fortunate that she followed the right master.Now she and Jiaohong can be said to be No.1 around the eldest wife, not to mention being respected, the reward they receive at the end of the year is as much as a second-class maid for two years.She can support a large family with her income alone, how proud she is.

Wang Shanbao's family was afraid that Sheyue would run into the eldest wife with a crying face, so they hurriedly pulled her up.

She Yue resigned to her fate, and let Wang Shanbao's family pull her.

"Are you willing to redeem your merits?" Xing suddenly asked her.

Wang Shanbao's family let go of the situation and stood aside.

Musk Moon stood on the spot blankly, and was stunned for a while before reacting.She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to say yes.

"Then tell me, what outrageous things have your Second Master Jiabao done?" Xing asked absent-mindedly.

Sheyue understood in her heart that both left and right were dead, and she still had a way to survive if she made the right choice.This time she has to fight!

Musk Moon hurriedly reported: "Second Lord thought we didn't know about it. In fact, I found out about him and Xiren a long time ago. That day I entered the house with the cheese rewarded by the old lady and ran into their scandal. I didn't dare to say anything about it. , backed out quietly. I overheard them both doing that more than once."

Xing raised her eyebrows, she was not surprised by Baoyu and Xiren, but when Sheyue saw this with her own eyes, it became interesting.

"Also, Second Master and Uncle Qin Zhong..."

The second material is more interesting, Xing smiled and waved her to get up.

Musk Moon dare not.

Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to help her up, "I haven't seen it yet, Madam forgives you."

Musk Moon looked at the eldest wife in fear, still not daring to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down again to thank her.

Xing saw that the maid had become quite honest after admitting her mistake, so she asked her to stay in her room for two days and observe for a few days.

Wang Shanbao's family was a little excited after hearing the explosive news, and asked the eldest wife with bright eyes: "Where is Second Master Bao?"

Xing looked down and thought for a while, then said to her: "Send someone back to the old lady first, and say that I want to keep Baoyu for a few days."
