Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

, the two of them sat on one side angrily, Mrs. Xing Wang accompanied her husband, Baochai just stepped forward to salute and stood beside Mrs. Wang because it was inconvenient for her junior to intervene.love

Jia Zheng was still furious. In order to repay Daiyu's family property, Jia Zheng had no choice but to transfer two of the nine villages. If Madam Wang hadn't reminded him to check the accounts, he would never have imagined that the old man would have exchanged the four villages for silver taels and entered Xue Pan's house. No wonder the old man is so generous, a man who has always been fussy is willing to take four. It turns out that he has greater interests.

Mrs. Wang squinted at Baochai. Baochai didn't know the reason at this moment, so she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, ma'am?"

"You still ask me what's wrong? I think Rongguo Mansion's property, even if it is not tossed about by Lin Yatou, that foxy girl, it will be schemed against by your brothers and sisters." Madam Wang said angrily. He is very good at doing business, and he can make a steady profit without losing money. If he bought his stock, he just waited for the money to be collected. Such a good thing fell to the big house. If he hadn't discovered it today, he would have lost even one or two dollars.

"Baochai does something wrong, the wife just needs to punish her." These days, since Madam Wang fell ill, Baochai has gotten used to being scolded by her. At first she was considerate of Madam Wang's illness. It was only then that Baochai discovered that she had intentionally embarrassed her in public, so discouraged, Baochai was no longer as cautious as before.

Mrs. Wang really wanted to yell at her, but she was afraid that she would lose her identity and be seen as a joke by Mrs. Xing. Seeing that although Baochai lowered her head humblely, she was even more angry.

This matter was originally caused by Jia Amnesty, but now that it is discovered, he can only agree to add two to one and make five, and each person gets half of the bonus from Xue Pan. Mrs. Wang also proposed that the red-headed account book in the shop Adding Jia Zheng's name, Jia Zheng was about to raise his hands to agree, seeing his brother and his wife showing contemptuous eyes, not wanting to be underestimated by them, Jia Zheng said: "That's it, it's already said, brother and sister-in-law Can it still make us suffer?"

The words were addressed to Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng still hoped that his elder brother would say something in his heart. Although he was not from the same mother, at least it came from the same father.

Jia Amnesty stood up and said, "It's easy for us brothers to talk about everything. With Baoyu's daughter-in-law here, you don't have to be afraid of my repudiation. It's her natal brother's shop. If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. It was agreed at the beginning. Dividends, a few days ago I said I had no money, Xue Pan sent me 5000 taels, which will be deducted from the interest in the future, if you are short on money, I will send your half later, and if you have money, you will get it together."

Although the desired effect was not achieved, Jia Zheng felt relieved when he heard the assurance from his elder brother, and respectfully sent his elder brother and his wife away to the study. I didn't know I was in a hurry until I ran out of money to spend.

When Mrs. Wang saw the outsider leave, she turned around and gave Baochai a slap, scolding: "You are my niece and my daughter-in-law. How can you eat the inside and outside of the big house and go around Zhuangzi? It's still the best. How much is it worth 10?" Ten thousand taels of silver is the foundation of our mansion. If I take the money out to do business, I can make a lot of money. If I hadn't been quick-witted, the big house would have made all the money. How many things can those three ruined villages produce in a year? Ladies must not drink the northwest wind."

If it turned out, Baochai would definitely kneel down and ask Madam Wang for forgiveness, but now Baochai's heart is also cold, instead of comforting Madam Wang, she secretly applauds in her heart, always thinking that Madam Wang treats her best in the whole Jia manor. It was only after something happened that I realized that in Mrs. Wang's eyes, nothing is more important than money.

Mrs. Wang caressed her chest angrily, and waited for Baochai to make an apology with sideways eyes. Unexpectedly, Baochai just gave her a blessing and said: "It will be time to prepare dinner in a while, Baochai yesterday I pawned two gold collars and bought a few chickens. The old lady and the wife have worked very hard these days, and it is time to make up for it. Let’s go and have a look, Madam, let’s rest."

The moment she turned around, Baochai straightened her back, and before Mrs. Wang could speak, she walked out of Rongxi Hall. Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai's back in surprise, and thought to herself: Baochai took the wrong medicine .

Baochai returned to her own room, closed the door, threw things like crazy for a while, and then sat down panting, suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Baoyu for a long time since she came back, so she straightened her clothes and combed her hair again. Open the door and see Yinger walking in.

"What about the second master?"

Through Baochai's body, Yinger saw the mess in the house and was startled. Hearing Baochai's question, Ying'er hurriedly said, "It is said that she is tired from studying, and Sheyue went out with her for a walk."

"Look at the door. I'll look for something." Ying'er promised to guard the door. Baochai went into the room and opened the lid of the box. She turned to the bottom and took out a small cloth bundle. She opened it carefully and looked inside. The most impressive one is the puppet made by Mrs. Wang to curse Daiyu.

Seeing Mrs. Wang acting strangely that day, Baochai kept an eye on her, sneaked into the Buddhist hall in the middle of the night, and took away the puppet. She secretly rejoiced that no one found it, but she didn't know that it happened that Mrs. Wang was taken away by Shuihong's men Let's go, all the girls in the room have been drugged.

Baochai thought twice, took a piece of the same material, tore it into small strips, imitated Mrs. Wang's handwriting and re-filled Daiyu's birth date, and burned the original candle.When I got the puppet that day, I was shocked when I saw the birth date written on it. Isn’t this Xiren’s birthday? My wife trusts her so much, why should she curse her? Cursing the one in the palace, I remembered it wrong, because I wanted to prevent my wife from adding to the mistake, and if it was wrong, it was also my aunt, so Baochai hid it.

Today, after being reprimanded for no reason and slapped again, the thing was found out again, and the puppet was wrapped up. Baochai walked out of the room, arranged for Yinger to tidy up the room, and went straight to Lixiangyuan through the pavilion. .

The concubine Xian and Tanchun went to the Ju Palace twice to ask for an audience, but they were blocked outside the palace. They spent money to inquire about the news outside the palace, and only then did they know that Rongguo Mansion had been described as impoverished by the people in a few days. Is Tanchun the Jia Mansion? The people who are in the palace are really worried, want to go back and have a look, but are afraid that they will not be allowed to enter the palace again, so they hesitate.

"Sister Lin is really ruthless. It seems that she knew we wanted to intercede with her, so she ordered someone to stop her. I hate that Ziluo. When she saw me from a distance, she hid instead of saying hello."

The virtuous concubine smiled, and although Tanchun was smart, she was still too young, and persuaded: "After all, your time to enter the palace is short. Although Ziluo belongs to Guanju Palace, after all, she is the emperor's person, and she hides from you. What, the guards in front of the gate of Guanju Palace only listen to the emperor's orders, even the imperial concubine can't easily order her around. This sister knows better than you. Now think about it, is it possible that the emperor wants to use the matter of the imperial concubine to destroy her? The prestige of our Jia family."

After hearing the news from Chun'er, the grandmother and the master neither distinguished nor refuted, isn't it just acquiescing, Tan Chun hurriedly said: "Speaking of this matter, it is indeed wrong in the mansion, but if the emperor is only purely for sister Lin Out of anger, now out of anger, why not let the family enter the palace, my sister asked the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also agreed to intercede."

"Third sister, what my sister is worried about now is that the emperor will do something later. The emperor has always been jealous and has tricks, so it shouldn't be so easy."

Tanchun became even more worried. Although living in the palace has all the food and clothing, it is not a long-term place after all. If the name is not right, it is not good. If you are not blessed to match Prince Yi, you might as well leave the palace as soon as possible, so as not to delay the important events of your life.

"Sister, what do you mean? But the official position of our gentlemen has not been shaken. Although the property of the imperial concubine is hidden, the money has already been paid back. As long as the imperial concubine does not pursue it, what can the emperor do? The important minister will definitely speak for our family when the time comes."

Yuan Chun nodded, Tan Chun's words made sense, Yuan Chun said: "What you said is that uncle has been stranded in other provinces for business and has not returned to Beijing. If uncle comes back, we will have a backer in our house. If someone in the court speaks, if uncle In the court, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to get back the imperial concubine's family property, the only plan now is to send a letter as soon as possible, so that uncle can request an order to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Let Chun'er handle this matter, I think she has a way."

"Then let's do it quickly. The imperial concubine blocked the two of us outside the palace. I'm afraid she just doesn't want to see me. If you go alone, you may have a chance. You have lived together for almost ten years. You understand the reason. Move it with affection, the imperial concubine may not refuse to listen."

Tanchun understands that Daiyu has always been soft-hearted. She seems to be ruthless, but in fact she is the most affectionate person. Lian Xiangyun is the one who is outspoken. Family affection, although petty and mean, but she will definitely remember whoever is kind to her, ten years of sisterhood, it may not be impossible to beg her.

Tanchun was about to go out, but Yuanchun stopped him and said, "I have something to tell you. I watched you go to Chuxiu Palace these days to pay your respects to Concubine Jia. Concubine Jia has a smile on her face. , my heart is cloudy, we have been together these years, we have almost broken the rules several times, and I have always suspected that it was her who made the buckle."

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Tan Chun hurriedly sat next to Yuan Chun, and said, "I saw her kind and generous, never smiling or talking, just like Sister Bao. She didn't say any bad words behind her back, she also said good things to me, and she often gave my sister things, why, she
