[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Mrs. Jia didn't answer Mrs. Wang's words. Mrs. Wang, who has been dealing with her for many years, also expected that Mrs. Jia would never express her thoughts clearly, and just said her own: "At the beginning, the old man had to do it for Mrs. Zhang. As the concubine's secretary, it can be seen that she treats Zhang differently. Although she has been treated lightly in the past two years, she has come out to protect her these few times."

"Looking at it now, the old man trusts Mrs. Zhang more than the old lady. It is obvious that the old man wants to let Mrs. Zhang stand out in the matter of the backyard. Once the backyard is unstable, the old man can be said to be a master of the family. Yan. At that time, there will be differences between the old lady and me, and the master will have nothing to argue with."

"At that time, the old man said that he was going to move into Rongxitang, or that he wanted to be in charge of the family, and the old lady had no reason to reject it. But if the old man is in charge, how can our family walk around with the prince? My brother used to be good. It took a lot of effort to draw a thread that was easy to draw, but it was all in vain.”

What Mrs. Wang said was exactly what Jia's mother was afraid to hear.Two people who are used to playing tricks will naturally feel that they are using some tricks when they see others doing things.Mother Jia thought the same as Mrs. Wang, and felt that Jia She's launching Zhang Cuihua at this time had the same purpose as Mrs. Wang thought:

Jia Amnesty wanted to take back the right to be the head of the Rongguo Mansion, prevent Jia Zheng from getting the power of the dragon, and keep pressing on Jia Zheng so that he could not be the home of the Rongguo Mansion.

This head of the family is not limited to the inner house, but also has the right to travel and communicate outside in the name of the head of the family.Jia Zheng is still a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, if he lost his status as the head of the Rongguo Mansion, how would he be able to travel outside? How could the crown prince fall in love with a small official from the fifth rank?When the time comes, the crown prince will have a place in Rongguo Mansion, and he will also look for Jia She, the head of the family.Didn't the years of planning, the money spent, and the favors made have become a joke?

Jia Amnesty must not be allowed to succeed.Therefore, Zhang Cuihua, who helped Jia She in the inner house, could not stay, just as Mrs. Wang said.Even if she is the biological mother of the dragon girl, she can't keep it--the bodhisattva blesses such empty words, how can there be any merit of following the dragon.

"This matter concerns the future of Zheng'er, Zhu'er, and Yuanchun. You should be more cautious." Mother Jia said ambiguously.

Mrs. Wang understood, and Zhang Cuihua, who had been paying attention to them with her soul power, also understood.

Just because she understood, Zhang Cuihua sneered again and again.Look, this is the second wife, the kind and kind old lady who never leaves her mouth with Buddhist beads. In their eyes, one or even a few human lives are like worthless things, ready to be trampled to death at any time.

It's a pity that the grass that they thought could be trampled to death at any time has steel and iron bones growing inside.

Knowing that Mrs. Wang is going to do something to her, Zhang Cuihua will naturally not sit still.Thinking that no matter what Mrs. Wang does, she will be like Jia Mu, she has to go around three times, maybe she won't be able to use people from Rongguo Mansion, so it will take time to arrange manpower, and it should be fine tonight.

That night Zhang Cuihua went to the private treasury of Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu again.Whether it's silver notes, gold and silver ingots, land deeds, inconspicuous ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, or the receipts of Mrs. Wang's profit, Zhang Cuihua gave them a wrap-up meeting—the people who watch the night tonight are obviously patrolling closely. These seem to have been beaten.

With such a strict inspection, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang should be able to sleep well tonight, and they will plan to do harm to others tomorrow, so they will not re-examine the private treasury so soon.

With the idea of ​​helping others and helping herself, Zhang Cuihua kindly divided half of Mrs. Wang's profit receipts and put them in Jia Amnesty's study outside. Will Jia Amnesty use this to attack Jia's mother and Jia Zheng? How? , she can't control it anymore.

How could Zhang Cuihua let go of Mrs. Xing who kept making trouble for her?Naturally, I have to go to Mrs. Xing's private treasury, and I am more dedicated than patronizing Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang's private treasury-the so-called poor people must have something to hate, and I am talking about people like Mrs. Xing.I don't have the ability to gain the upper hand from Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, so I bully people who are lower than her to vent my anger. What's the use of such a person keeping a private house.

Because Zhang Cuihua made a fuss yesterday, both the main courtyard and the east courtyard were eerily calm the next day, as if they were afraid that Zhang Cuihua would be offended, and another disturbance would embarrass everyone.

Dicui and the others were even more considerate in their service, fearing that they would be the trigger to ignite Zhang Cuihua's anger.Taking advantage of them not daring to approach, Zhang Cuihua sent them away in the name of copying the scriptures, and went out of the house again to the new house by herself.

After seeing Li Nian, Zhang Cuihua told him to find an inn near the house today, and it is best to book a yard, and he must find a mother Chen.She told Li Nian to sign a contract with Nanny Chen, and she could not return to her home or contact her family within two years.

Regarding Zhang Cuihua's request, Li Nian didn't ask much, took the money and went out to do errands.Zhang Cuihua was very satisfied with this attitude—a slave who was born in an official family really knew better than Boss Qian, who had just sold himself to be a slave, when to ask questions and when to pretend to be deaf.

After arranging the escape route of her two mothers, Zhang Cuihua devoted all her energy to monitoring Mrs. Wang after returning home.Seeing Mrs. Wang's formation as if facing an enemy, Zhang Cuihua feels a little pity for the prince:

Mrs. Wang's meticulous arrangements and sure command are very general, which is much better than Jia Zheng, who can only read a few rote sentences.If the prince dared to use Mrs. Wang, he might not have to be a loyal prince, but directly ascend the throne.

It's all a misunderstanding of the times. If it was an era when women could go out to support their families, with Mrs. Wang's ability, the Rongguo Mansion would not fall so quickly.Zhang Cuihua sighed for Mrs. Wang without any sincerity, and she did not miss hearing Mrs. Wang's confession to Zhou Rui's family. At night, she led someone borrowed from Wang's family to join Di Cui, and then locked Zhang Cuihua's room. A torch was thrown into the house from outside, and Zhang Cuihua was burned to death.

Mrs. Wang specially told Zhou Rui's family to tell Dicui to remove the lock on the door after Zhang Cuihua's cry for help was not heard, so as to prevent Jia Shewan from becoming suspicious and revealing his flaws when inspecting the fire scene.

Zhou Rui's family also asked: "Why does my wife bother so much, just eat one box and you will be able to avoid future troubles."

Mrs. Wang glanced at her confidant, and scolded her in a low voice: "What do you know, the Elder is obviously partial to that bitch now, if the Elder uses food, the Elder finds someone to check it out, what should we do if we go out? It's better to use a fire and push it on the candle that she didn't care about. When the fire is completely burned, the old man can still tell whether it was a torch thrown in from outside, or the candle was accidentally knocked down in the room?"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly clapped their hips and farts to pat Mrs. Wang for a long-term plan, and said that in the future, the eldest girl will definitely learn from Mrs. Wang's true biography.When mentioning her own daughter, even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but smile, and let Zhou Rui's family go.

The villain dies because of talking too much, this sentence really applies everywhere.If Mrs. Wang really listened to Zhou Rui's family's suggestion and asked Dicui to give her a bowl of poisoned soup, she would have to come up with a reason not to drink it.It was Mrs. Wang's "foresight and foresight" and careful consideration that allowed Zhang Cuihua to pull two backs before leaving Rongguo Mansion, and also made the water in Rongguo Mansion more muddy.

At dinner, Zhang Cuihua intentionally joked with Yingchun, who had been for more than three months, and teased the child so tired that she fell asleep. She also said that she was afraid that Yingchun would catch the wind when she fell asleep, so she would let her sleep in her own room tonight.

One sentence changed Di Cui's color, and she forced a smile and said: "My aunt has always felt light, the girl has to breastfeed and drown at night, it's not good to disturb my aunt to rest. It's better to let Nanny Chen wrap it tightly so that she can't blow it Girl's."

Zhang Cuihua glanced at Di Cui, and said calmly: "Then let Wang Lai's family stay here, and you don't need to watch the night tonight, lest you complain that you can't sleep well."

Di Cui hurriedly apologized with a smile and said: "It's not that the slaves want to be lazy, the slaves are all wholeheartedly for Auntie..."

Zhang Cuihua looked at her with wandering eyes and nowhere to go, knowing that she wanted to report the sudden situation that she had to stay in Yingchun in the room as soon as possible to Mrs. Wang, so she waved at Dicui impatiently. He waved his hand: "Hurry up and exchange your bedding with Wang Lai's." It looked non-negotiable.

Di Cui also pretended to be helpless, and changed the bedding with Wang Lai's house, and didn't care about tidying up. Taking advantage of the night, she quietly went to the Moon Gate, and said to the gatekeeper, "I have something urgent to go back to my wife."

The woman guarding the passage between the big room and the main courtyard must be someone Madam Wang trusts, and she also knows the relationship between Dicui and Madam Wang, so she easily let her pass through the main courtyard.Mrs. Wang heard that Zhang Cuihua left Yingchun in the room tonight, and she was also a little anxious.

But the person who did the fighting at night was borrowed from the Wang family, and she had already agreed to do it tonight, and the people had already mixed into the East Courtyard, so they could be withdrawn, but is it worth changing your plan just for a girl? ?

What if all the green flowers keep Yingchun in the future, and I still don't do anything to her?I spend time with Zhang Cui, but will Jia Amnesty give time to the second wife?

Madam Wang gritted her teeth, and said to Dicui: "Understood, you go back and be more vigilant, just don't hurt yourself then."

Zhang Cuihua, who has been paying attention to Dicui's movements, didn't expect Mrs. Wang to soften her heart. Now it's just another confirmation, so it can't be said that she is disappointed or not.But she felt that Wang Lai's family served Yingchun with all their heart, and if she was burned to death tonight, she would feel sorry for others.

If Wang Lai's family had only one body, Zhang Cuihua would not mind taking her out of the mansion together, but Wang Lai's family was born in the Rongguo Mansion. Her mother's family, husband's family, husband, and children were all there. Take her out of the mansion. It was tantamount to directly telling the people in Rongguo Mansion that he and Yingchun were not dead.

It seems that I have to continue to use the theory of ghosts and gods for a while.Anyway, it has been borrowed so many times in this life, and it's okay to do it one more time.

As soon as it was time for her doze, Zhang Cuihua noticed that someone had entered the yard.The gate of the yard has already been quietly opened by Dicui, but the woman guarding the gate has not appeared, either she has already been bribed by Dicui, or she has fallen asleep.

As for whether she already felt too much or was drugged, Zhang Cuihua didn't want to pursue it. What she cared about was the people who came: there were not many people, only three, and the leader of Zhou Rui's family. A few people didn't even cover their faces. people will see.

A person lay down directly under the window of Zhang Cuihua's bedroom and listened for a while, then beckoned to the person behind him, and Di Cui took out a lock in his hand to lock the door.Zhang Cuihua quickly suppressed her five senses, preventing her from moving, which saved Wang Lai's family from having nowhere to escape.

The other two people had already pushed open the window that Dicui deliberately left open before leaving, and threw three or four torches in. Seeing that Dicui was standing there still, they couldn't help but said anxiously: "What's the matter with you girl? Why don't you just lock the door and let someone run out later?"

After finishing speaking, Dicui did not see any movement. Zhou Rui's family, who was watching the wind, couldn't help but went forward to push Dicui in amazement, and found that Dicui was like made of wood. When he pushed it, he fell down, and the lock in his hand fell to the ground, falling heavily. After landing, he didn't even cry out in pain.

This startled the three of them, and when they were about to call Di Cui, Wang Lai's family in the room had already been awakened by the fire, and told Zhang Cuihua to run quickly, and wanted to hug Yingchun himself, without putting on his coat.

Zhang Cuihua pretended to be panic-stricken, and while she was putting on her clothes, she said to Wang Lai's house, "This fire is strange, and it caught up if it was alright. You go out and call someone to put out the fire, and I will dress the girl. Hurry up, Don't delay, the fire will burn." He coughed twice as he spoke, pretending to be choked by the smoke.

The person who set the fire outside the house also heard the conversation between the master and the servant. After looking at each other, one of them wanted to lock the door with a lock.I don't want to think that the lock is very strange. Just touching the side, the person holding the lock is like Di Cui, who can't move any more.

The eyes of Zhou Rui's family and the rest of the people were shocked. Hearing that Wang Lai's family was about to come out, they didn't care to lock the door again. One of them dragged his accomplice and the other dragged Dicui. , Hiding in the dark so as not to be discovered by Wang Lai's family.

Wang Lai's family went out, looked around and there was no one there, shouted for firefighting, and ran to the house where the girls lived to ask someone to fight the fire together.

Taking advantage of Wang Lai's family's opportunity to go out, Zhang Cuihua went out with Yingchun in her arms. After sealing the five senses of the two arsonists, she threw Dicui and Zhou Rui's family into the room, and then kindly locked them up. The door, to finish what they didn't finish.

Wang Lai's family patted the doors of the girls' rooms a few times, but they couldn't even wake anyone up. Knowing that the fire was weird as Zhang Cuihua said, he ran back quickly, only to find that at some point, the door was closed. already locked.

At this time, the fire in the house had already spread, Wang Lai's house looked for something to knock on the door, and shouted loudly: "Auntie, hurry up and take the girl out of the window, Auntie, Auntie?"

Called a few times, but couldn't hear Zhang Cuihua's answer. Wang Lai's family remembered Zhang Cuihua's cough just now, and thought she was fascinated by the smoke, so she cried loudly for help.The night was already quiet, the sound was heard farther than in the daytime, the night watchman had already seen the flames, although he could faintly be told not to mind his own business, but the fire was not a nostalgia, if not rescued, the future would be bad, so he walked slowly towards Zhang Cuihua's yard Come.

The two people who set the fire deliberately stepped forward to gag Wang Laijia's mouth or knock her unconscious, but when they found that Zhou Rui's family and Dicui had disappeared all of a sudden, they couldn't help but feel terrified, and hoped that the two of them would be timid and hide in fright. Now, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I can't stay here for a long time, so I hide in the dark and think about finding a chance to return to the main courtyard.

Seeing that Wang Lai's house made all the night watchmen come here, the two were afraid of being discovered, and thought that they should go back to the main courtyard to report to Mrs. Wang while the crowd was chaotic, but they couldn't move their bodies.

The leader of the night watchman had already entered the yard, saw Wang Lai's family crying there, and asked, "Why are you crying here? Why is there a fire? Why are you alone? Why don't others come to put out the fire? Are you here?" Why didn't you save Aunt Zhang?"

A series of questions made the honest man of Wang Lai's family anxious: "When I saw a fire, I called my aunt and came out to call for help. You guys came so slowly, and you asked all kinds of questions because you didn't want to save the fire." person?"

Hearing what she said, the head of the night watchman had no choice but to smile and tell the people following to put out the fire.But in the middle of the night, there is no water storage device such as a lotus jar in the yard of an aunt, and it is far away from the well. How can I save it?

After a while, both Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing heard Xin'er approaching. Looking at the burning house, both of them looked unhappy.Jia She asked gloomyly that Wang Lai's family could see Zhang Cuihua's mother and daughter, but Wang Lai's family could only cry and couldn't speak. If there is no sound, does it mean that it cannot be rescued?

Before Mrs. Xing could take advantage of her wish, a red light rose up in the main courtyard. Looking in the direction, it was Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall. Jia She and Mrs. Xing couldn't help being shocked, they didn't care about Zhang Cuihua's mother and daughter, and called out All the people ran to the main courtyard together.

It was only when I passed the Moon Gate that I realized that at this time, the door was wide open. Jia She couldn't help but kicked the feet of the two women who were guarding the gate, and ordered the two women to be tied up temporarily, and they will ask questions when they are free tomorrow.

When they came to the main courtyard, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing didn't care how the Rongxi Hall was burning, and hurried to the Rongqing Hall to check on Jia's mother's safety.Fortunately, it was only Mother Jia's private treasury that caught fire, and everyone is fine.Rongxitang also came to report that the fire was also in Mrs. Wang's private treasury, and no one would be disturbed.

After a while, Jia Zheng also brought Mrs. Wang to annoy Jia Mu. Mrs. Wang, who knew why the East Courtyard caught fire, and Jia Mu looked at each other. They both felt that today's fire may have some origins. It may be that the Bodhisattva punished them. How about two, or how could only the private treasury of the two of them be burned?

Not to mention Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall, who were fighting the fire and grabbing things out of the fire, but Wang Lai's house, crying endlessly at the burning house, but it was impossible to think about it.After the fire was extinguished, regardless of the embers, they went into the house to collect the bodies of Zhang Cuihua, mother and daughter.

Unexpectedly, when they entered the house, there were two unrecognizable corpses inside, but seeing that they were all grown-ups, and there was no Yingchun's bones, Wang Lai's family couldn't help crying, thinking that Yingchun's bones had been burned by the fire.

"No," Wang Lai's family suddenly yelled, "Last night there was only my aunt and girl in the room, and I was keeping watch, why is there an extra person?"

That's right, why is there one more person? Who is the extra person?The firefighters fell silent, and they clicked on the firefighters, and there were not many firefighters. It wasn't that any firefighter strayed into the fire and was burned to death.

Now everyone is aware of the seriousness—the fire started last night was too strange, and people were burned to death. The night watchman couldn't get rid of the responsibility, so he had to persuade Wang Lai's family to report back to the master and let the master make the investigation. Find out who the extra person is.

"Why are there two people here?" Someone yelled again, dragging two stiff people over.When everyone looked at it, they didn't know each other at all, so it could be seen that they were not from their own house.

No need to ask, everyone thought that these two were the arsonists, and the leader of the night watchman hurriedly asked someone to find a rope to tie them up, and wanted to drag them to show their merits to the master.Wang Lai's family hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the two maids in our yard and the woman who guards the door have not woken up until now, so it may be the fault of these two people."

Everyone felt reasonable after hearing this, so they had to ask Wang Lai's family to call the girl and mother-in-law to get up again.Those three people who were still asleep didn't know what happened, and they didn't wake up from the big noise of putting out the fire just now, so they knew at a glance that they were drugged.

Now everyone can see that the fire in Zhang Cuihua's yard is not easy: those two people who are tied up are not from the Rongguo Mansion, how can they drug the girl-the girl is not a fool, who will give it to her? They eat everything, they must be someone they trust or someone they don't know how to guard against, so they dare to eat what they give.

"Where's Dicui?" Wang Lai's family thought of someone, but the person who should appear has not yet appeared.Everyone looked at the two corpses involuntarily, and Wang Lai's family was also speechless.

A group of people escorted the two arsonists like headless flies. When they arrived at Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia was still crying and complaining about the things she had saved for half her life. People, tied up two people who set fire and asked to see the old lady."

What?Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, and couldn't figure out why the arsonist was so stupid that he was caught.Jia Amnesty has already yelled to bring people in.Jia Zheng also said that there are female relatives around, and it is not easy to let the outsider, so Jia Amnesty sprayed him all over the face: "They set fire to murder, and even the children of a hundred days were not spared, are they still human?" Well, what's the difference between men and women!

Jia Zheng, who asked, couldn't say a word—it wasn't his concubine who died, and he didn't have the weight of Jia Amnesty's words now.

Those two people were also very confused. They hid well and were able to return to the main courtyard when everyone was fighting the fire, but who knew that they could not move suddenly.After being tied up with a rope, he was able to move and shout again, which clearly saw a ghost.

So when Jia She came up and kicked them one by one, the two of them yelled the same sentence in unison: "Ghost, there is a ghost."

You are the ghost, and your whole family is a ghost.

Jia Amnesty was so angry, he thought that you had the guts to set fire, but when you saw the master, you called ghosts, is the master so scary?After a few more kicks, the two kicked were howling like hell.

Mrs. Wang couldn't stand it anymore, she looked at Jia's mother for rescue.Mother Jia shook her head towards her, it's better not to block Jia Amnesty's anger at this time, it's better to let him kick these two people to death, then there will be no proof.
