Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

Forcing, this matter was delayed, and later the wife gave birth to the young master, and the family members sent to the capital to announce the good news came back and said that the Jia family Taijun looked surprised at the time, and asked whether it was the wife who gave birth, and also adopted After hearing that it was Madam who was born in person, he simply sealed a few gifts and ordered someone to bring them back. Since then, two years later, the marriage to Madam has become less enthusiastic. "

The queen mother clapped her hands and said to Shuihong: "Isn't this right? There are successors in the Lin family who blocked her way of making money, so they did it."

Shuihong glanced at Daiyu, and the queen mother also turned her head, seeing Daiyu bursting into tears, she hurriedly held Daiyu's hand, and comforted: "Pain must be painful, but fortunately, it is a thing of the past. , just take it all out, the pain has a limit, Yu'er, you have to be strong."

"Yu'er is fine, the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it, please continue talking."

Grandma Wang said again: "Suddenly one day, a letter came from Jia's mansion, saying that smallpox was prevalent in the capital. The old lady was worried about the safety of the young master, so she asked him to wear a patchwork gown to bless the child with a long life. People were looking around, and they put it on for the young master on the same day after it was finished, and they praised it as the deep love between mother and daughter. Even the doctors couldn't find out the cause of the disease, and later the young master had red spots on his face, and the doctor saw that it was smallpox, but it was too late, and the young master passed away within a few days."

Shui Hong interrupted Wang Momo and asked, "Did Madam Lin make the white clothes, or did they send them from Beijing?"

"The servant was with the young lady that day. I only know that the madam sent people to poor people in the countryside to ask for useless cloth horns. Nanny Zhang is the dowry girl of the madam, and she made it for her."

Shui Hong nodded and said: "Jia Taijun is really shrewd. He asked Madam Lin to make her own patchwork clothes, but when it was time to wear them, someone replaced them, killing people without anyone noticing. That nurse must have disappeared later."

"Your majesty's predictions are very accurate. The young master just fell ill. Nanny Zhang and her family of four disappeared. The master ordered someone to arrest him, but there was no news. The family seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Someone is answering." Daiyu kept silent all the time, then suddenly said something.

kindness?Shuihong and the Queen Mother looked at each other, seeing that although Daiyu's tears were still hanging on her face, her eyes were much calmer, Shuihong thought to herself: Yu'er will make it through, but the price is too high.

Shui Hong ordered Nanny Wang to continue explaining what happened next, and Nanny Wang said: "Madam was not in good health at first, but after the young master passed away, she became more and more ill. The master also suspected the cause of the young master's death back then. I made it myself, and the fabrics came from the countryside. There is no evidence. Soon afterward, people from the capital came to express their condolences. The master fulfilled her wish, and if she has not been filial to her mother for 20 years, she should be promised to Jia's family. Love is lingering"

"It turns out that Yu'er was married under such conditions."

"Going back to the queen mother, the old master only verbally agreed, but actually wanted to take a look at it slowly. Later, Jia Taijun ordered someone to pick up the young lady. The old master said that it would be good to see his grandmother, and he ordered his servants and Xueyan to accompany him. Let's see how the Jia family treats Miss." At this point, Nanny Wang burst into tears, and Daiyu stepped forward to persuade her, and Nanny Wang stood up, knelt in front of Daiyu, and said, "Miss, yes The slave has missed the young lady's life."

"Why did Mammy say that? If it wasn't for Mammy's protection, Yu'er would have been killed early." Daiyu helped Mammy Wang up, and she said again: "When we lived in Jia's Mansion , the master sent several letters one after another, all asking how the lady is doing. The servant saw that Jia's mansion from the old lady to the young master treated the lady with great dedication, so he replied according to this meaning. The master made up his mind. It's slaves who are stupid."

Daiyu understood Wang Momo's self-blame, but in the first two years when she first entered Jia's mansion, she really lived like a fish in water. Whether it was the old lady, the two aunts, or the sisters, the sisters-in-law all treated her as a guest of honor, without any regrets. Apart from feeling a little uncomfortable because the house was not arranged when I first went there, there is nothing wrong with it.

Daiyu persuaded: "You don't have to blame yourself, mama, I know these things very well. After my father passed away, I felt different when I entered the Jia's mansion. Let's discuss the matter. At that time, the old lady was nice to me. The quick ones are my aunt, but there are also good ones, Lian's second sister-in-law is more devoted to me than before."

The queen mother sighed: "There is nothing wrong with people leaving tea to cool down, but the means are too despicable. By the way, Yu'er came back from the south and brought 270 million taels of silver into Jia's mansion. Didn't your lord give me the money?"

Wang Momo thought for a while before saying: "As far as I know, there is no such thing. Only three days after we returned home, the master passed away. The second master Lian brought a letter of engagement, and the master signed it and handed it to the young lady. There is no explanation on how the family property will be distributed.”

The queen mother and Shuihong sighed together, it turned out that Lin Ruhai didn't leave any words before he died, Shuihong asked: "Yu'er, this matter is full of evil, why did your father not even leave any evidence and let the Jia family deal with it?" What about the property?"

"I remember that when I got home, my father could no longer speak. It was all caused by Lian's second brother. Later, when he got better one day, he confessed some family affairs, but it had nothing to do with the family property."

Grandma Wang hurriedly said: "I think of something, when we went back to the south by boat, we were obviously in a hurry, but the second master Lian used excuses to make excuses that the road was not easy to travel, and often rested at the shore. It took forty days to travel a month's journey .”

"It's delayed." Shui Hong stood up and walked slowly on the ground. It turned out that Wang Momo didn't know about it. She had great hopes for her back then. It seems that only Jia Lian knew the most about that year.

"Come here, bring that portrait."

Xiao Guizi took the portrait and presented it in front of Nanny Wang. Nanny Wang looked at it carefully and said suddenly, "This is Nanny Zhang next to Madam."

"Is the painting resembling?"

"Like it! It's very similar, and there's something missing here." Wang Momo compared with her hands, "Zhang Momo has a scar on his jaw, it's right here, it's very obvious, you don't need to raise your head to see it."

Shui Hong asked Xiao Guizi to find a painter to add this, and asked about Nanny Zhang in detail, and then someone spread the word that Nanny Zhang's husband's family is in the countryside of Hangzhou, and they couldn't find it back then, and they may not be there now, so they must find it no matter what. come out with this person.

After Shuihong arranged everything, he faced the Queen Mother and Daiyu and said, "Now we can only ask Jia Lian directly, Xiao Guizi, go to the Rongguo Mansion to call, and order Jia Lian to enter the palace at noon tomorrow. one thing."

The queen mother hurriedly said: "Why arrange it tomorrow? You should call in now."

Shuihong smiled and said: "Give them time to cheat, we have to discuss it." The Queen Mother didn't understand clearly, so it was Daiyu who figured it out first, and then explained it to the Queen Mother word by word.

After Jia's mother heard the will, she called Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian to discuss it. Jia She heard the reason and said, "How much money did my niece bring into the mansion back then? Yes, it seems that the number must not be small."

Mother Jia didn't know how to deal with Jia She and his wife. Back then, Daiyu's family property belonged to the Rongguo Mansion, but there were still two families in the mansion. Strictly speaking, Jia She and his wife didn't spend much money, the money was all used by the second wife. , but the family is in trouble, so I can't take care of it.

Jia's mother motioned Jia Lian to explain the matter clearly, and Jia Lian cleared his throat and said, "When Uncle Lin passed away, it was Lian'er who sent Sister Lin back to the south to take care of her uncle's funeral, and brought back a total of 270 million taels of silver, all of which were handed over to the ancestors. into the official account of the mansion."

What?Not only Jia She and his wife were surprised, but even Jia Zheng opened his mouth in surprise. It is well known that Daiyu has a family property, but no one expected that the amount would be so huge.

Jia She said with a chuckle, "It's really a surprise. Since my brother-in-law passed away, I didn't know that there is such a beautiful thing until today. Then the money should be divided among the houses."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Father, 270 million taels, there is no penny in the public account."

"Where did they all go? Could it be that you kid is ignorant?"

"My son doesn't dare. The empress and mother spent this money, and there are still a few 10 taels left. All these years, it has been used to subsidize the family. Father and uncle can check the accounts. The use of this money is approved by the ancestors and the second wife."

Seeing that she was mentioned, Mrs. Wang quickly stood up and said: "What are you talking about, what money, I don't know at all, my head hurts, I have to go back and rest." After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to react , I hurried out.

Jia Mu said: "It's not all silver. There are also some utensils that are converted and counted. The silver lady used 180 million taels when she visited her relatives. The things are all stored in the small warehouse. They haven't been moved at all. There are still three to four million taels. As I said, you have subsidized the family all these years, so you don’t have to feel wronged, except for the ones used by the empress, you have also spent a lot of money.”

Jia She said: "I haven't seen any money brought by my niece. I don't know if the old lady called her son here today to make some money for our eldest house?"

Mother Jia was a little sad, and everyone enjoyed it together when they were blessed. Now there is trouble, but there is no one to share the worry. She couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and said: "These years, if there are troubles, it is my wife. I have survived by myself, and I didn't ask you brothers to worry a little bit. Yu'er has become the imperial concubine, and she has repeatedly hinted and asked me to hand over her family property. This time, she finally couldn't get away
