After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Something happened to Baoyu, and the whole Jia family was in agitation. Even Jia Zheng, who was originally in Aunt Zhao's room, rushed over to ask why Baoyu disappeared.

Since Jia Zheng's room was assigned, the treatment of Jia Lan, Jia Huan, and even Jia Baoyu has been much worse than before.

In the past, Baoyu was Jia's mother's darling, and there were eight young servants by her side to serve her. Every time she went out, there were at least four servants to accompany her. The servant was reduced by more than half, and after Mrs. Wang's crazy selling of people for money, at the end of the sale, only Li Yong was left beside Baoyu.

Although it is not as good as before, Baoyu still has Li Yong to serve him anyway. It is Jia Lan and Jia Huan who really have nothing. School bag for school.

In order to avoid being questioned by troublemakers, and also because the differential treatment annoyed Jia Lan and Jia Huan, the two stopped going to school with Baoyu early on, and usually went their separate ways, as if they were two families.

This day was as usual, Jia Lan and Jia Huan went to the family school early, while Baoyu waited until it was almost time, and then Li Yong carried it on his back and went out slowly.

As a result, Baoyu had just left the house when he met a weeping young girl selling her body to bury her father. As for the girl begging him to buy her back home, Baoyu agreed without even thinking about it, and immediately asked Li Yong to go back to the house to bring money to help.

Although Li Yong was unwilling to leave, Baoyu couldn't force him to do so. Thinking that they were in the back street of Rongguo Mansion, they were all dealing with relatives of Jia's family. But after he took the silver and went back, Baoyu disappeared!

Li Yong was so frightened to death that he searched for Baoyu everywhere, not only from the Jia family, but also went to Beijing Wangfu and Fengfu, where Baoyu often went, but he did not see Baoyu's whereabouts.

Li Yong searched for a long time, but still couldn't find Baoyu. He was only a half-grown child, and something happened suddenly, and he was at a loss. He knew that Mrs. Wang would never let him go, and he dared not go back He was just wandering in the streets, but was finally spotted by the yamen servants patrolling the streets under curfew, and then sent Li Yong back to Jia's mansion.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang was in a bad mood. She was so angry that she slapped Li Yong several times, "What's the use of such a waste like you? You can't even take care of Baoyu!"

If she had known this, she shouldn't have kept Li Yong because of Li Yong's prudence. She might as well have kept Baoyu's favorite Mingyan. At least Mingyan would play with Baoyu and never leave Baoyu alone. fall.

"Madam, please calm down! Madam, please calm down!" Li Yong's mother, Nanny Li, kowtowed and begged, "Brother Yong didn't do it on purpose, he also tried his best to find Baoyu."

She secretly complained that this child still has a little trouble, and she should report immediately when she found out that Baoyu was missing. If she reported early, she might still have a chance to find Baoyu, but now...

Nanny Li's heart sank, she hadn't returned home at this time, I'm afraid Baoyu was in danger.

Thinking that Baoyu might be gone, Nanny Li shivered uncontrollably. She was in a bad mood. With his wife's temperament, it would be no wonder she would let Brother Yong go. She rolled her eyes and quickly turned the cannon fire to on others.

She covered her face and burst into tears, then turned to Jia Lan and cried, "Why does Lan Geer only care about herself and not your uncle? If Lange Er is willing to wait for Baoyu to go to school together, Baoyu will not be lost." ah!"

As soon as Nanny Li said this, Mrs. Wang's gunfire immediately went towards Jia Lan again, she raised her hand and slapped him, cursing: "I don't care about taking care of your uncle if you are not filial! "

Jia Lan was bewildered by Nanny Li crying, and then suddenly got a heavy slap from Mrs. Wang, and was even more shocked. He subconsciously pointed to himself, "I'll take care of Baoyu!?"

Is this reversed?

Not to mention that he is Baoyu's junior, and he is two years younger than Baoyu. If he is to be placed in an ordinary person's home, Baoyu should take care of him. How could he be the one who takes care of Baoyu?

Li Wan felt sorry for his son, and was also annoyed by Nanny Li who was shirking her responsibility, so she quickly said, "Madam Li's words are wrong. If Li Yong took care of Baoyu all his life, why would Baoyu disappear?"

Lan Ge'er will be an official in the future. People who don't understand the truth may really think that Lan Ge'er is not filial after hearing this. Besides, if Mrs. Wang really believes Li Nanny's words, she will make Baoyu disappear. How good it is to blame Lang Geer.

Li Wan changed the subject, and continued in a slightly cold voice, "Besides, Li Yong should have reported Baoyu's disappearance immediately after he found out that Baoyu was missing. It was a bit late to report after the curfew, and..."

She said sharply: "If the people patrolling the street hadn't discovered that Li Yong was still outside at such a late hour, how long would Li Yong plan to end this matter?"

To put it bluntly, if the people patrolling the street hadn't discovered Li Yong, we still don't know how long Li Yong would be dead.

Nanny Li was speechless and speechless for a while.

She knew in her heart that her son must have been frightened, so he dared not come back to report the matter, and maybe he had a little desire to run away, but after all, he was young and couldn't make up his mind, so he was wasting his time When he was discovered by the yamen servants, he was sent back to Jia's mansion.

She couldn't help but secretly complained about her son. Is there anything else to think about this kind of thing?It would be better to be a fugitive slave than to be settled by Mrs. Wang Qiuhou.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao quickly followed up and said, "Nurse Li spoke so lightly. Except for Baoyu, neither Huan Geer nor Lan Geer has any young servants by their side. The two children are young. If you can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of Baoyu?

Li Yong, on the other hand, usually goes in and out with Baoyu, eats and lives with him, and the master takes advantage of a lot. He can't even do such a small thing as protecting the master, so he really deserves to fight! "

Nanny Li kept rolling her eyeballs, and muttered: "If Brother Lan and Brother Huan don't leave Baoyu behind, maybe this will happen."

Although Madam Li's words were evasive, but she said Mrs. Wang's heart ached, thinking that her precious son was squeezed out by Jia Huan and Jia Lan together, she felt more and more wronged by her son.

She gave Jia Lan and Jia Huan a vague look, if Baoyu had something, she would definitely drag them both to be buried with Baoyu!

"Enough!" Mrs. Wang said coldly, "Put Li Yong down and beat him to death!"

Nanny Li fell to the ground in shock, "Ma'am!"

She didn't expect that his wife would be so ruthless, directly killing Li Yong without saying a word!

Seeing that those thick servants were going to drag Li Yong down to be tortured, Nanny Li didn't know where the courage came from, she hugged Li Yong desperately, not to be pulled away by those people, and kept begging: "Madam, please forgive me! Brother Yong!" Brother Yong didn't do it on purpose!"

Mrs. Wang waved her hand directly, "Put them down and beat them to death, and Mother Li's family will also be sold to the black coal yard! Don't let me stay in the house."

One time of infidelity, one hundred times of disuse, Li Nanny's family can no longer stay.

Mrs. Wang sent all the servants in the mansion to look for Baoyu, but it was not easy to find a missing child in the huge capital city. No trace of the woman who sold her body to bury her father was found.

Even though the capital city is at the foot of the so-called son of heaven, there are quite a few children who go missing every year. Jia Baoyu is a treasure in the eyes of Madam Wang, but it is really nothing in the eyes of the officials of Yingtian Mansion. Although Madam Wang has reported to the government, the servants She was lazy and didn't look for it seriously. In desperation, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to ask Jia Amnesty.

When Jia Amnesty heard about this, he didn't try to evade it. He not only went to Yingtian Mansion to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yingtian Mansion Yin, but also talked about Yingtian Mansion Yin's hair less, and even made all the servants in the mansion Sent out to help Mrs. Wang find someone.

He made it very clear that Mrs. Wang is Mrs. Wang, and Baoyu is Baoyu. No matter how bad Mrs. Wang is, Baoyu is still a descendant of their Jia family, and he is still a child. is missing.

Jia Amnesty helped Mrs. Wang's search for Baoyu with all her heart, but she unintentionally ruined her reputation. Since Jia Zheng's room was allocated, there have been many "truths" about the Rongguo Mansion. Everyone also heard the truth about how Jia Mu favored the second room back then, and secretly acquiesced in the second room's ruin of the first room's reputation.

At first, everyone was a little dubious, but after seeing Jia She in charge of the family, not only did the Rongguo Mansion take on a new look, but even Jia's family culture changed, plus the previous dowry incident, it can be seen that Jia She is really a person. Somewhat talented, but unfortunately met an eccentric mother, so he was suppressed by his younger brother everywhere.

Everyone couldn't help sympathizing with Jia She. Seeing Jia She's dedication to help find Baoyu, he was more active than Jia Zheng. Naturally, Jia She's reputation became better and better. The most honest person in Beijing.

Not to mention the matter of Jia Amnesty, even after Jia Min learned about it, he privately sent the servants of the Lin family to investigate carefully.

After all, it was her own nephew, and Jia Min also felt distressed. Moreover, Baoyu disappeared suddenly. I am afraid that nine out of ten he was abducted and sold. Knowing that, Jia Min couldn't bear it, and often asked for help in finding people.

Not only the Jia She brothers and sisters, but even the King of Beijing, Feng Ziying and others helped to find Baoyu because of their friendship with Baoyu in the past. It's only when some news comes out, but Baoyu has been silent, as if the world has evaporated.

As time went by, Jia Zheng himself gave up first, not only did he not let his servants go out to look for it, but he even stopped Mrs. Wang from inquiring about Baoyu with Ying Tianfu.

You know, it costs money to invite the government to do things these days. In the past, they were the second housekeepers of the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention asking Ying Tianfu to help find someone, even if they wanted Ying Tianfu to do something, Ying Tianfu never said no. , let alone ask them for money.

But now they are just ordinary Beijing officials, and if they want to ask the government to do something, they have to go up and down. The yamen servants also know that Mrs. Wang loves her son, and they usually come here to ask for some hard money. The subsidy goes in to manage the yamen's money, at least 100 taels of silver.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's generosity, and the money flowing out like running water, Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel distressed. He still owes the state treasury, and every penny is hard-won. on his son.

Anyway, he still has more progressive brothers Lange and Huan. After thinking about it, Jia Zheng decided to think that Baoyu's son is gone. He has been missing for so long anyway, and the chances of finding him are not great. It is better to save some money. Reserved for the future use of Lang Geer and Huan Geer.

Mrs. Wang vomited blood when she heard the words, and quarreled with Jia Zheng again, but Jia Zheng was determined this time, and directly took away Mrs. Wang's housekeeping power, saying that she would not let Mrs. Wang pay any more money to manage the yamen up.

Mrs. Wang couldn't compete with Jia Zheng. Seeing the urgency of the yamen, she asked someone to take her private house money to handle it. The old mother was puzzled when she heard the words: "Madam, there is not much money in the silver box."

Mrs. Wang was surprised, "Didn't you just sell a group of people a while ago? How could you run out of money so quickly?"

Her salesman was not just selling people, but also specially gathered up the private houses of those people who had saved most of their lives. Those people had been slaves and handmaids in the Jia family all their lives. Hands are loose, those people have saved a lot of money in their hands, and it will be used up so quickly.

The old mother said in a low voice: "Those people who sold before were not lucrative, and the previous few times the accountant's money was not enough, and the wife gave out the private house money several times, and now there is really not much left."

The fierce servants who really took money were sold off by Mrs. Wang long ago. This time, the ones who were sold off were either those who were not reused in the Rongguo Mansion and could not get much money, or those who were honest and honest. Those who know how to play tricks.

Mrs. Wang sold several houses in one go, but she could barely scrape together a few hundred taels of silver. If she made money here, and then got some money there, and the master took some more, she really didn't have much money.

When she heard that Jia Zheng had taken most of the money, Mrs. Wang secretly resented, and said coldly, "What did Jia Zheng do with the money?"

The silver was left by her to Baoyu, not to take advantage of Jia Zheng.

The old mammy shook her head, expressing that she was not clear.

She is in the backyard, so she can manage the affairs of the front yard. Besides, Jia Zheng, as the head of the family, takes whatever he takes, so who dares to take care of his affairs.

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, knowing that Jia Zheng was still the head of the family in name after all, and most of the people she sold were servants brought out by the Jia family, that's all.

The most important thing now is to find Baoyu, everything else can be put aside, for a while, she was so anxious that she didn't even have the thought to torment Li Wan, she pondered for a while, and ordered: "Someone call Li Wan over!"

Right now the richest owner in the whole house is Li Wan, and it is about Baoyu that Li Wan will bleed a little no matter what.

"Yes!" The old nanny replied in a low voice, just as she was about to call Li Wan.

"Wait!" Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped the old woman, saying: "Wait a minute! Don't call her over yet."

Instead of trying to get Li Wan to pay the money, it is better to think of a way to directly hold Li Wan's money in his hands, thinking that Jia Zheng wanted to divorce her last time, so as to avoid paying back her dowry , Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled suddenly.

Even so, once Baoyu is found, Baoyu's debts will inevitably increase, but in order to get Baoyu back, she can't care less, the worst is to let Baoyu marry a merchant woman, and use his wife's dowry to pay off the debt in the future. .

Nothing is more important than finding her son.

So, after Jia Shen heard that Yin Tianfu Yin had cracked a major human trafficker case in the suburbs of Beijing, Jia Shen went there personally, but still did not find Baoyu inside.

Not to mention that Jia She came back disappointed again. When everyone saw that Jia Zheng, his own father, ignored him, but Jia She, his uncle, ran forward and back. Master She is actually a good person!"

His family has worked in Yingtian Mansion for generations, and he is very clear about the big and small things in the capital. Bullying and bullying happened all the time. In comparison, Mr. She is a rare clean person in Beijing, but he has never done anything to bully men and women.

It's just that the old official didn't have a good impression of Jia She because he had heard too many rumors. Now that Jia She cares so much for his nephew, compared with Baoyu's own father Jia Zheng, it is really rare.

Yin Tianfu, who knew Jia She's temper well, couldn't help but twitch his lips, no!You are wrong, this old boy is an otaku!Too lazy to move!What bullying men and women is probably not as important to this old boy as sleeping at home.

But thinking about it, Jia She, who always likes to stay at home and be an otaku, would run back and forth for the nephew in the next room, and even go to the suburbs of Beijing to meet someone, which is really rare.

Yin Tianfu Yin pondered for a while, and said bluntly: "Jia Amnesty is a person who can be deeply friends."

Although every time he saw Jia She, nothing good would happen, and the hair on his head would have to be a little less, but in terms of character, Jia She was really the best among the capital's meritorious queens.

Upon hearing that Ying Tian Fu Yin also praised Jia Amnesty, the old official couldn't help but ask curiously, "What about Master Jia Er?"

It is said that he is a gentleman!There is nothing more honest than a man.

"Is he..." Yin Tianfu flattened his lips in disdain, "He's just a hypocrite."

This Jia Zheng's body is indeed quite clean, but his wife's hands are not clean, not only the Wang family, but even Jia Zheng's servants have many life lawsuits in their hands.

You can tell by looking at a person's character and the people he associates with. Jia Zheng is surrounded by such people, how could he be a good person! ?

How can the so-called people who come out of the mud and remain untainted really exist?It's just that they hid it well and no one found out.

Not to mention that after this incident, and through Ying Tianfu's propaganda, the story of Jia She's noble character gradually spread.On the other hand, after returning to the mansion, Jia Amnesty hadn't taken a breath yet, but first heard about another big event from Mrs. Xing: Li Wan was divorced for stealing, and he and Lan Geer were kicked out together.

Jia She was so shocked that he tore off several strands of his precious beard, "What! Is Mrs. Wang crazy?"
