The Heart of the Red Chamber

In any case, it is a fact that Jia Baoyu got better after taking Xue Baochai. Even Shi Taijun and Jia Zheng, who disliked Xue Baochai's poor background, and Jia Wang, who murmured that Xue Baochai's dowry was not rich enough, smiled happily at this. After receiving an extremely generous meeting gift, Mrs. Xing inevitably felt sour again after seeing her.Some time ago, Yingchun was married off in a hurry. It is said that Jia She owed her 5000 taels of silver and sold her daughter. After Shi Taijun found out, he was so angry that he took 5000 taels of silver from his private house to Jia She. After paying back the money, he almost hastily chose a family to marry Yingchun.

Yingchun's husband is a relative of the Marquis of Yongning. He is an honest man. After his parents passed away, he worked as a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the management of the Marquis of Yongning. Yes, but with her temperament, this is already the most suitable.

However, Mrs. Xing thought of the poor dowry when Yingchun got married. Even if she brought all the things she used when she was at home, it would only add up to 46. It is not like a duke marrying a daughter. People secretly say that Mrs. Xing is mean to concubine daughters!Mrs. Xing was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.She is indeed a bit mean, but besides her status as a third-rank imperial order, what else does she have!The housekeeper right has not been touched so far, what can the monthly bill of 20 taels do? Jia Lian was not born by her, and she is not close to her. A little pension money, what can I do when I get old in the future!If she was the housekeeper, she would be willing to use her public money to make Yingchun's wedding more dignified!In the end, the crime fell on her head.

Seeing that the old lady and Jia Wang's actions were very generous, she just wanted to grit her teeth with hatred, thinking about how much private money these two had saved, she felt her heart twitching, and she felt a little distressed. Xue Baochai gave the prepared pair of twisted silk gold bracelets, feeling extremely annoyed.Before, I felt that I was too small to be on the stage, hmph, this so-called Second Grandma Bao is still an even lower business woman!Mrs. Xing cursed secretly in her heart, and wanted to say a few harsh words, but was scared back by Shi Taijun's warning eyes.

Then, inexplicably, news came from the palace that Jia Yuanchun had died, and he died silently together with the child in his stomach.Naturally, the royal family would not explain anything to the family for a dead concubine, but after death, they were extremely mournful and buried in the concubine's mausoleum, and the maids and eunuchs around them were also buried. The funeral was very grand, and many people touched it. Don't think about it, this specification is only a little bit smaller than the death of the queen!

Jia's family panicked at the beginning, but in the end, even Jia Yuanchun's own mother, Jia Wangshi, didn't think much about it. Now she was staring at her precious son all day long, hoping to give birth to a grandson for herself as soon as possible.

Although Jia Baoyu was awake, he was still a little listless, but his behavior became more and more absurd. Although he still called Sister Bao Changbao and Sister Bao short, he didn't spend much time in Xue Baochai's room. Blatantly slapping Xiren Qingwen and Sheyue off, Xue Baochai felt chest tightness.Mrs. Xue wanted to teach her daughter some ways to manipulate concubines, but Mrs. Xue was relying on her natal family's power back then. Any concubine who dared to seduce the master would be relieved by pouring down a bowl of sterilization medicine lightly. , the heavier ones are sold directly.Xue Baochai's natal family is not as strong as hers. Instead, her natal family has to rely on Jia's family to support her. How dare she use these methods.

Soon, when it was Shi Taijun's [-]th birthday, Shi Taijun was the pillar of the Jia family, a first-rank imperial order, the wife of the Duke, with a wide network of contacts, and a shrewd person. Many people did not give the Jia family face, but most people would give Shi Taijun face. Therefore, the Jia family There was a big banquet, but many people came.

Perhaps the emperor deliberately wanted to attack the Jia family, and on this day, the Jia family was raided.In addition to Shi Taijun and her maids, Li Wan's mother and son and their servants, plus Miaoyu who practiced in the Grand View Garden and some little Shani, the men were all sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the female relatives were also sent to the prison god. temple.

The people who came to the birthday banquet left in a hurry when Jin Yiwei announced that the unrelated people were waiting to leave quickly.Mrs. Sun also came to celebrate Shi Taijun's birthday on behalf of the Wang family. After all, it was a relative, so she stayed to comfort Li Wan's mother and son. As for Shi Taijun, he passed out after receiving the order.

Mrs. Sun looked at the Rongguo Mansion, which seemed to be dilapidated in a blink of an eye, sighed in her heart, and finally went back.

"Master, what's going on with the Jia family's affairs? How could you just copy it?" When Wang Ziteng came back, Mrs. Sun asked quickly.

"I don't know how to advance or retreat, and let down the grace of God! If there is no accident in their family, who will have an accident?" Wang Ziteng was so irritated that he took a sip of water from his glass and said angrily, "My old face is about to be completely lost. When I was at home, I actually found a lot of IOUs, my good sister actually put loan sharks outside! The Wang family, the face of the Wang family for several lifetimes has been ruined in her hands!"

Mrs. Sun was taken aback: "That's not the case!"

Wang Ziteng threw the quilt aside, the cup lid jumped a few times, fell to the ground, and broke into several pieces at once, a servant girl ran over tremblingly and picked up the pieces, and another servant girl replaced it wisely. A new cup of tea.Wang Ziteng sneered: "The prodigal sons of the Jia family, the foundations left by their ancestors, not to mention pioneering and enterprising, they can't even keep Chengdu, they ruined the family property completely, and made the daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family her own dowry and the old lady's. I’m living off my own money! That younger sister of mine is not only stingy, she’s actually making a fortune! Damn it, half of the money hidden by the Zhen family is actually in her possession. I don’t know how to write the word dead! Our Wang family can't afford such a capable aunt!"

Wang Ziteng was furious, when he saw a maid outside the door winking at the person inside, Wang Ziteng said angrily, "Why are you standing there secretly? What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

The maid hurriedly came in and reported: "If you go back to the master, the aunt is here. It doesn't look too good. She said she wants to see the master!"

Wang Ziteng was about to tell her to go back, but when he looked back, it should be Mrs. Xue, so he sighed: "Let her wait for me in the flower hall, and I'll go right away!"

The maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly backed away.

When Wang Ren came back and passed the flower hall, he heard Mrs. Xue crying there, and Wang Ren was about to sneak away. Wang Ziteng, who was restless inside, saw Wang Ren and called him in.

Wang Ren was a little depressed. His two aunts rarely came to the door. Every time they came, there was nothing good. This time, it was definitely for the Jia family's affairs, but he still went in bravely and greeted Wang Ziteng and Xue Wang. Then sat obediently on the side.

When Xue Wang saw Wang Ren, he got excited again and cried, "Brother Ren, you have to save your cousin. Your cousin has just married into Jia's family, but she didn't do anything. How could she be punished?" It's locked in!"

Wang Ren's head was huge, so he quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, drink your saliva first and take a breather. The emperor is the wisest man, but if your cousin has nothing to do with it, it will be fine. Just don't worry!"

Wang Ziteng cursed inwardly, how many times have I told you before, you don’t need to stare at the Jia family, he also mentioned the names of many studious teenagers, but you just didn’t listen, dragging it on until your daughter is almost twenty, boudoir It's almost gone, and now I got my wish, but now I regret it again, it's too late!But after all, she is still his younger sister, Wang Ziteng held back his anger and said, "Okay, why cry, you have to be decent in front of the younger generation!"

Mrs. Xue wanted to mutter that her daughter was going to be gone, so why should she be decent, but because of Wang Ziteng's majesty, she finally said nothing, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, sat there with red eyes, staring Looking at Wang Ziteng anxiously: "Brother, I don't ask for anything else now, as long as Baochai can come out safely, I will be satisfied!"

Wang Ziteng said angrily: "Ren'er was right just now, the emperor is merciful, as long as Baochai is not involved in those matters, it will be fine, just don't worry about it!"

Xue Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little anxiously: "Brother, can I send some things in?"

Wang Ziteng said with some headaches: "You don't need to worry about these things, lest you make a taboo, I will handle it properly!"

Xue Wangshi nodded, bit her lower lip, and finally asked, "Brother, where is the Jia family?"

Wang Ziteng's face darkened all of a sudden: "At most, I can turn around and make their case lighter. As for the rest, what can I do! In addition, I have already planned to open the ancestral hall and expel your sister Leave the Wang family, you also remember it for me!"

Wang Xue shivered from Wang Ziteng's gloomy eyes, thinking that Wang Jia was the daughter of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng's younger sister, and Wang Ziteng could be ruthless, let alone a concubine. Thinking of this, the thoughts of wanting to do things under the banner of the Wang family disappeared without a trace. In this state, Wang Ziteng can still read it for the sake of brother and sister, and help a little. If Wang Ziteng is annoyed, eventually It is definitely a chicken-and-egg fight, and a bamboo basket to fetch water will end in vain.

Xue Wangshi left half relieved and half nervous. Wang Ziteng looked at her back, sighed wearily, and said to Wang Ren: "Look, this is what happens if you don't manage the family strictly and your children and grandchildren are not good! Ren'er, you too Remember it for me!"

Wang Ren nodded: "Father, my son has written it down!"
