Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Didn't you say you should calm down and wait until the New Year is over? Don't be so angry about this family."

"I was so excited. I wanted to endure it, but I couldn't hold it back. Xueyan, do you know that when she mentioned the benefits that the imperial concubine brought to the Jia family, I really hated having to be the imperial concubine. She It's my maternal grandmother, it's too much to betray me, how can she ask someone to kill Wang Momo."

Binghu's eyes kept rolling, trying to find a topic that would divert Daiyu's thoughts. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Madam, just now Taijun Jia said that she didn't receive an invitation to enter the palace. Where did you say she was on a business trip?" Head, we obviously distributed according to the old year's list."

When Binghu mentioned it, Daiyu also thought of it, and said: "Concubine Jia is in charge of this matter, you can ask her tomorrow and she will know, you go to Fengzao Palace and wait, when they leave the palace, take three Bring the girl here."

"The slaves obey."

141 The Sorrow on the Spire of the Pagoda

Jia Mu's sedan chair was carried all the way to the courtyard before it was put down. Baochai raised the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Jia Mu out. Jia Mu looked at the relatives who were guarding her and couldn't help feeling sad. No one knew what happened. They all leaned over to ask about the matter, but squeezed the mandarin ducks to the back.

Jia Mu said, "Go back, Baochai and Yuanyang come with me."

Baochai and Yuanyang looked at each other, and hurriedly followed Jia Mu, one on the left and the other on the right, and went into the inner room. After Jia Mu changed into her homely clothes, she sat on the soft couch and let the two of them kneel down.

"Old lady, did Baochai do something inappropriate?"

"Let me ask you, how did the three-star ornaments of huanghuali wood spread to the palace, mandarin ducks, that day I only said to pick up those that are not used in ordinary times, and only those that don't like can be pawned outside. Baochai, are these things pawned or not?" Sell ​​it, which pawn shop did you get it in, let me see the pawn ticket.”

When Yuanyang heard this, she hurriedly said: "It's the servant's fault. The old lady said to put away the ornament and don't need it anymore. The servant thought that the old lady said that the thing was very valuable, so when she was picking things, she always looked at it. And gave it to Grandma Bao to take it away."

Baochai also said: "When it was delivered to the pawn shop that day, there happened to be a customer who fell in love with him at a glance. Baochai heard from sister Yuanyang that the old lady didn't like it anymore, and that customer offered a high price of 3 taels, so Baochai Chai made her own decision, and Baochai knew she was wrong, so she begged the old lady to punish her, so she pawned the things at Yushu Pawnshop in Yunji Street."

"3 taels?" Jia's mother was furious, "You can't even tell the value of things, and you dare to claim to be from the imperial merchant Xue's family. That ornament is worth at least 8 taels."

Since marrying into Jia's family, this is the first time Baochai has been reprimanded by Jia's mother, but according to what Jia's mother said just now, this thing has been passed down to the palace. Who is doing things for, is it really the emperor?

"Don't be angry, old lady. Baochai's natal family also has a huanghuali wood ornament. Although it is smaller than that one, it is still eye-catching. Baochai will go home and ask her mother for it, and honor her ancestors."

"Nonsense..." Mother Jia sighed, it's just a decoration, can you still throw people to the in-laws? Although angry, the two people in front of her made their own decisions, but it was true that she said that day that she would never show it again.

Jiao Dache was completely exposed. Fortunately, he was only told to do things that day and did not tell him the reason. Otherwise, this servant would have been recruited out. Daiyu should also be waiting for Wang Momo to enter the palace. The most troublesome thing now is not knowing Wang Momo. Mammy knew something.

At that time, she always wondered if Daiyu would still have the silver left by Lin Ruhai, but after a few trials, she felt that Daiyu didn't seem to be lying, but this incident made her always feel that something was wrong, like Lin Ruhai. How could the old man hand over all the family property to Jia's family without leaving some private money for his daughter.

If so, Mother Wang might not know that Xueyan is a girl, and Mother Wang did not return to the south after leaving Jia's house, but stayed in the capital, always wanting to see Daiyu again, which made Mother Jia even more suspicious. She was even more sure whether Wang Momo had something to say, and sent someone to ask for it from Wang Momo, but Wang Momo just refused to know, but instead scolded Jia's family for being unkind and unrighteous, and made a fuss about going back to the South, so Daiyu couldn't let Daiyu know about her. There is no money for doing these things anyway, so I simply don't do them and keep killing them.

"You two get up, Baochai, go get busy, and find someone to call Feng girl and her husband over by the way."

Baochai agreed to go, and Jia Mu saw that Yuanyang was still crying, so she said, "You don't have to cry, just take a chance and ask Lin Zhixiao to check the pawnshop that Second Grandma Bao mentioned, and who bought it?" Ornaments, there really are people who know the goods."

"It's the servant girl who took things to the left and made the old lady angry."

"When there is no one at night, you go to check the small warehouse yourself, pick out all the things of the Lin family and put them together, so that there will be no confusion in the future. Alas, if the family business is not dying, how can you fall into selling things? the point."

"Didn't you say that our family has a royal concubine, and the family will prosper again?"

Whether what this imperial concubine brings can push the Jia family to prosperity, or push the Jia family to perish faster, Jia's mother regrets it even more, alas, it's really not as good as when Daiyu was married, she had done this marriage. The second wife's selfishness drove even her to become selfish.Judging by Daiyu's appearance today, it is impossible for this matter to pass away peacefully.

So what if you find Wang Momo, as long as she doesn't know anything, it's just a crime of harming others. She is a slave of the Lin family, and as Daiyu's grandmother, she can deal with slaves who don't serve her master well. Here, Mother Jia suddenly felt a lot stiffer, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. No wonder Daiyu only mentioned her own family property, but never said how much she had. She also guessed, even if she guessed, she might not end up Total defeat.

Just as she was thinking about it, Jia Lian and Sister Feng came in to greet her. Mother Jia ordered the two of them to sit down, looked at Sister Feng's belly and said, "The imperial concubine is still asking about you today. It's because of your face that you are waiting for the birth." At that time, the imperial concubine will send the midwife from the palace."

Sister Feng pursed her lips and said, "In the final analysis, it's the old lady's face. Otherwise, how could this child have a good time? The imperial concubine is okay in the palace. The gate of the palace is as deep as the sea, and I want to meet again It's also difficult."

"As long as you don't visit your relatives, it's fine. If you don't visit your relatives, our family really can't afford money."

Sister Feng quickly glanced at Jia Lian. Jia Lian also regretted her slip of the tongue and lowered her head. Sister Feng looked at Jia Mu's face and saw that Jia Mu didn't respond. My son took everyone up and down in the mansion over there, and kowtowed upwards, wishing your mother a bright future."

"Yuan'er has lost a lot of weight, her complexion is sallow, and she only knows to cry when she sees her face. Now that she lives in the palace, it can't be compared with when she was visiting her relatives. The Fengzao palace is deserted and deserted. Just ask your wife about it, and I'm too lazy to say it."

Sister Feng and his wife looked at each other. No wonder the first lady came back with a smug look on her face. After asking, she found out that the second wife was in the palace, and the two mothers were crying. Before they finished speaking, Baochai sent someone to invite her. It was only now that I realized that the concubine Xian was worse than imagined.

"Lian'er, our family is in trouble now."

"what?"

Jia's mother told the two couples everything she heard in the palace. Jia Lian jumped up and said, "Impossible, my grandson did see Chunxian that day, and asked all the neighbors about it. The family name of her husband’s family is Wang, so Grandma Wang is not like Nanny Wang, how could the grandson of the imperial concubine’s nanny not recognize her.”

"Could it be a cover-up?" Sister Feng asked a crucial question.

Mother Jia looked at her inquiringly, and Sister Feng said again: "If Mother Wang knew that the old lady was looking for him, she would definitely find a way to hide. There are too many people who have met the second master Lian. Bao Buqi will arrive in Suzhou and Hangzhou." Someone will know the boundaries of the land."

"What Feng girl said is reasonable, I really ignored it, no wonder Jiao Da was tied up, Yu'er was really cheating on me at the beginning, this girl has learned it well now, what should we do if you have reached this point .”

Even Jia Mu didn't have a good idea, how could Sister Feng and his wife dare to talk nonsense? Madam is selfish, and only Yuan Chun is in her heart at the moment. Madam Xing never cares about things and can't negotiate. She knows that Sister Feng and his wife are regressing and withdrawing, but it is not easy to force them. The Chong family followed Glory, the crisis was imminent, but there was not even anyone who could share their worries.

Jia Lian tentatively said: "The imperial concubine is for money, the old lady might as well give her back some, so that she should not pursue it any further."

Sister Feng glared at Jia Lian and said, "You don't know the situation in the mansion? Where can I find two or three million silver now?"

Jia Mu said: "If all the families get together, there won't be much shortage."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Old ancestor, it's two or three million taels, not two or three million taels. Although each courtyard has its own private house, no one can get out this lot of money. Not only I don't have it, but even our wife Lian'er It’s all guaranteed.”

Jia Mu squinted at Jia Lian and his wife and said, "I don't believe in others. If your husband and wife say no, it will be a joke. Your shop outside has been open for three or four years, and the business has been going smoothly. It’s in a prosperous place, and the shop alone is worth a lot of money.”

While talking, Jia Mu looked at the expression of the couple.
