The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

Although Song Zhaoyong knew some of the causes and consequences, he felt a little more ashamed now that he saw the frenzy at home.He comforted his mother first, and then saw his father coming out of the house, and Manager Song who came back a step earlier than them. Song Zhaoyong called people one by one, and then called his eldest aunt, new mother ( Uncle's wife) said hello.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family was steady, she responded with a smile when she saw Song Zhaoyong, the third daughter-in-law was a little dull, her eyes hung on her second sister-in-law, and she just nodded when she saw Song Zhaoyong saying hello.

Steward Song hurriedly greeted Zhen Zhu, and only then did the people in the courtyard know that this extraordinary young man was their little master.

The second son of the Song family had an ugly expression on his face. He was pulled out by Guanshi Song at the end. The door curtain followed his body and then swung in the air twice. Seeing Zhen Zhu's legs go limp, he knelt down.

Zhen Zhu frowned, took a look and said, "What is this? Ah Yong didn't make it clear when he came here. I don't know if Guanshi Song can explain it clearly so that I can understand what's going on." Before Song Zhaoyong Because of something, just talking about the previous situation, and now suddenly it is rumored that he is going to be sent to the official, this matter can be big or small.

Song Guanshi wiped his old face, and then invited Zhen Zhu in, and then scolded the second couple to kneel in front of Zhen Zhu: "When they came to the capital from Jiangning, these two were obsessed with ghosts, and it wasn't a trap designed by anyone. However, no one in the family knew about it. The second daughter-in-law took advantage of the opportunity to go to the mansion to find someone, and she had trouble with the third child of Widow Zhang's family in the big house. When she came back yesterday, she heard that she had a fight with that person. In the end, I heard that the third child of the Zhang family had died at night, so I had to send the official to say that it was Ah Yong and his mother, and now it is better for the master to make decisions, and the younger ones dare not make decisions without authorization."

"The Zhang family?" Zhen Zhu didn't know much about the personnel in the mansion, so she turned to look at Song Zhaoyong.

Song Zhaoyong looked straight at Zhen Zhu and said, "It's the Zhang family who is served by the big house. The Zhang family has three sons and a daughter. The widow Zhang is the one who gave birth to a son with Jin Guanshi, Jin Hua'er's stepmother."

"It's not considered a stepmother, it's just making do with living together." Steward Song added because he was afraid that Zhen Zhu would be jealous because of Jin Hua'er.

Zhen Zhu lowered her eyes and thought about it, and then said to Guanshi Song: "I don't know about the past, so I'll bring him with me now, and we'll talk about it when we go home."

Song Guanshi nodded quickly when he heard it, and Song Zhaoyong saluted Zhen Zhu: "It was originally a trivial matter, but it has to make the master tired. I am really sorry for the master."

"If there is no accident, it all started because of my family. If you don't make any plans today, let me come here to be loyal. In the future, don't say those things that make people divided. When you return to the house, since it is you Parents, I'd better take care of you." Zhen Zhu said, got up, and the group returned to Zhen's residence.

Mrs. Sun was picking up fabrics when she heard from the waiter that something had happened at Nanny Song's house, and now Zhen Zhu was intervening.Mrs. Sun nodded slightly: "Let Zhu'er practice on this matter, he will surely reach the sky in one step and stand on top of Yun Ni in the future, after all, he must understand the complexity of people's hearts."

The Zhang family is the best, but it relies on the face of Jin Guanshi, and Jin Bao, who crawled out of the widow Zhang's belly, is a little better at studying, but he has a reputation in ordinary academies, but now the Zhang brothers Something happened, Jin Guanshi frowned and thought about it, and finally begged in front of Jin Hua'er.

"I originally wanted your brother to go to school. At the beginning, the old lady was kind and gave her a free body. If your brother gets better in the future, you will be more dependent on him. But now it is no longer possible, but now I don't know if it will be possible. You are blessed to be assigned to serve by the young master, aren't you also by the young master's side now?" Steward Jin looked at Jin Hua'er, his daughter was already eighteen, and logically she had reached the age of marriage.

"If such a plan is to be made, it will naturally need to go through the old lady. Father can ask for grace by himself. The young master usually doesn't care about the inner house. But now the Song family boy has had a relationship with the young master for many years. If the two Brother will only go now, I'm afraid it won't be reused."

"You don't have to worry about this. The young master next to him is surrounded by six or seven servants. The young master is not full of staff, not to mention how smart your younger brother is. It's a pity that you don't need to worry about it." He said. cultivated for so long.

"It's all fate. Father has lived a good life, and his face is even bigger than ordinary Zhima county magistrates." Jin Hua'er replied, and then glanced at Guanshi Jin, "it's my brother, but father said Understood?"

"Although he and you are not of the same mother, he is still your brother after all. He acts like you on weekdays, and he is very worry-free if he is sensible." Guanshi Jin laughed and praised, and then suddenly remembered Jin Hua'er's marriage, and then A little embarrassed, he asked Jin Hua'er in a low voice: "You are serving the eldest young master now, but in the future you plan to..." Being an aunt or something, Jin Guanshi felt that he really couldn't say this, so he looked at his daughter obsessively.

Jin Hua'er frowned slightly, then shook her head in denial: "I never thought about it that way, the young master is only ten years old now, how is it possible."

"Then about your marriage..." Manager Jin looked at Jin Hua'er thoughtfully, "You also know that anyone who works as a concubine for men in the mansion will end badly, even though Jin Shan'er was promoted by the old lady back then. , but now in Dafang, how can you have the freedom you have now."

Jin Hua'er pursed her lips unconsciously, then fell silent for a while, then nodded to Guanshi Jin: "Don't worry, I've never thought about it that way."

"Well, then I'll go back first. By the way, if others ask, Mrs. Zhang, you can just say that you don't know. I'm afraid the Zhang family will be doomed this time." When Guanshi Jin said this, he was very calm and calm. Jin Hua'er felt strange. In the past, she was still not worthy of her mother. After all, when her mother died, Guanshi Jin was so sad. In the end, she hooked up with Mrs. Zhang within two years. Others said that this man cannot live without a woman, but to Jin Hua'er, this is a heart disease.

The people below are always better informed than the people above. Zhen Zhu took Song Zhaoyong back to the mansion, and then led the people to the front. During the questioning process, Song Erniang also said with snot and tears that she did not harm anyone. She came into contact with the third child of Widow Zhang's family because it is said that the widow's family is lending money, and the monthly interest on the money is slightly higher. Song Erniang thought that the remaining money in the family was useless, so she entrusted it to the Zhang family. brother.

It just happened to be the first knot in March, and the time was lost. The third child was standing at the door and was busy arguing with a taller man. Said that the hat on his head was still covered very low, covering most of his face, waiting for Song Erniang to approach, the man saw someone coming, and left first, and when he left, he bumped into Song Erniang, and then used his hand Covered the cheeks.

Zhang Laosan's complexion was not good, but seeing Song Erniang took out the money and paid back the principal and interest, saying that business was difficult.

"I originally agreed to borrow it for a year, but it's a pity that I took the money back home, and I heard that the third child died. It really has nothing to do with me." Song Erniang said while talking. Kowtow at the same time.

"Even lending money in private is something that harms one's morality. You still have heirs to blame. If it's for this little money, you might as well go back to your hometown in Jiangning." Zhen Zhu frowned slightly, but since he took care of this matter, Naturally, we have to ask clearly, besides, although he is not familiar with the third son of the Zhang family, he has met him before, and Erniang Song has a heart. , now I only hear about people dying, so I just think wildly, why don't I ask, if there is an emergency, I can deal with it."

As soon as Guanshi Song heard that Zhen Zhu was willing to help, he sighed and ordered his eldest son to inquire, leaving only his second son and daughter-in-law still kneeling in front of Zhen Zhu. Terrified, she just kowtowed to Zhen Zhu blindly, but she couldn't afford it. In the end, Zhen Zhu could only dismiss her and knelt outside the door.

A boy at the side offered tea, and Zhen Zhu held a cup of tea before drinking it, when Boss Song ran back out of breath.

Steward Song originally wanted to ask, but seeing that Zhen Zhu was still on top, he withdrew his stepped foot. Zhen Zhu was also puzzled, so she asked, Song Lao Dao.

"I originally went to ask the third child of the Zhang family, but before I got to the door, I saw a group of yamen servants." Boss Song took a breath, and then heard a wailing, and everyone turned around and saw the man standing at the door Song Erniang fainted, and Song Zhaoyong didn't want to watch it anymore, he just felt ashamed.

"Continue to talk." Zhen Zhu urged, losing the chain at a critical moment.

"I heard that something big happened to the Zhang family. The third child of the Zhang family heard that he had hanged himself. The coroner came for an autopsy, and the house was quiet. The yamen servants felt strange, so they opened the inner door. He said he died from eating arsenic."

This matter is a bit serious, Zhen Zhu frowned, and stood up: "So, Ah Yong, you don't have to worry too much, I will greet you in the future, and your mother only needs to make a trip. Don't make mistakes in the future, I will go find my father."

After Zhen Zhu finished speaking, Song Zhaoyong was about to go with him, but was stopped by Zhen Zhu: "Since you have something to do at home, you should take care of yourself first." As he spoke, he glanced at Song Erniang who was unconscious on the ground.After Song Guanshi heard this, he had no choice but to make a decision, and he must not let the second child's mess go any longer, or else Song Nanny's old face would be completely lost to these prodigal bastards.

Zhen Zhu only went out because the widow Zhang's family had something to do with the eldest aunt Zhang.
