The Honor of the Red Chamber

But at night, the two woke up gradually, only saying that they were hungry, and they couldn't help being happy when they saw people, and since they knew they were hungry, they were half as good. After eating rice soup, the two of them were in better spirits. My heart is relieved.

Although You Shi and Jia Rong come to take care of them on a daily basis, they are also in the mansion there from time to time. The Ning Mansion also needs someone to take care of them. , I don't know what to do, Youshi is disheartened and doesn't care about him.

This day, Jia Rong went to Yingmao in the morning, stayed in Rongguo Mansion for two hours in the afternoon, returned to Ning Mansion in the evening and was about to have dinner, but a young servant said that the old ancestor over there was invited.

After going to Jiamu's inner hall, I saw Jia Lian standing below with sullen hands, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng kneeling on the ground, weeping, and Jiamu sat on the head supported by mandarin ducks, her face full of anger, and the whole room was silent.

When Jia Rong came in, she took a quick scan of the room, and found some yellowed paper in Jia Mu's hand, she knew that Jia Lian had given the paper talisman she found to Jia Mu, and she changed her mind slightly, and her face quickly adjusted. The expression showed a slightly tired smile.

Seeing Jia Rong's face, Jia's mother was overly busy and tired, thinking that he was the only one dealing with the affairs of the two families all by himself, but he was orderly and there was no omission, although His tone was still bad, and his expression unconsciously slowed down, "Brother Rong, come here, I'm sorry to see you, but you are careful and capable. If it weren't for your knowledge, my Baoyu and Feng'er were killed and I was deceived." In the drum, it's a pity that none of my children and grandchildren are useful!"

When Jia's mother said that, even Jia Lian and Jia Rong knelt down and said with a smile, "The old ancestor said this, so he didn't kill me? The second aunt Lian and Uncle Bao have something to do, how can we feel at ease? This is the blessing of the old ancestor. Now, Second Aunt Lian and Uncle Bao are out of danger, but they will be blessed in the future, and the ancestors should take care of themselves! If Second Aunt Lian and Uncle Bao know that their ancestors are too worried about them, it is not for them to recuperate Are you uneasy?"

Mother Jia sighed, and asked the two of them to get up in a dispirited way, "You are filial. The two of them were blessed by the ancestors of the Jia family, and fortunately they got through the difficulties. But now the old woman hears that it was a man-made disaster, how can the old woman feel at ease? These unfilial people are instigated by others in the past days, just forcing their own parents and children, which scares my Baoyu's courage. Although my Feng'er If she's a bit aggressive, who can she offend? If it wasn't for the absence of a powerful man in charge of this family, how could she be forced to show her power? These rotten people only hope that they are dead—could it be that they are dead? I can spare you bastards?"

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were more and more unable to lift their heads because of what Jia's mother said, so they just lay on the ground and kowtowed frequently, tears streaming down their faces. Jia Lian looked sad, "I beg my ancestors to make decisions for Baoyu and Sister Feng!"

But Jia Rong remained silent.

But Jia Mu picked up the paper talismans, her hands trembling, "My Bao Yu'er, my Feng'er, this really cuts my heart, someone uses such things to plot against them—"

Jia Rong pondered for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Don't be sad, old ancestor. Since the physical evidence has not been destroyed, we might as well follow the vine and investigate secretly. It is no small matter that such private things flow into the garden. Today, we can curse Yan Lian." Second Aunt and Baoyu, in the future I'm afraid..."

Jia's mother is an old man. Since she heard Jia Rong's unfinished words, she was shocked and stood up, "Investigate, we must investigate to the end. I want to see who dares to do something wrong in my Jia's house." This is a matter of cutting off children and grandchildren!!"

With Jia's mother behind her, Jia Lian is neat, and Jia Rong is sure, so she quickly found out about Ma Daopo. From her, she found Aunt Zhao's 500 taels of IOU, and then contacted what happened that day , the natural truth came to light.

It turned out that the paper talisman was supposed to turn into a cloud of soot after it came into effect, but the arrival of the Taoist monk interrupted Ma Daopo's practice. Naturally, the paper talisman failed to destroy itself, and Jia Lian blocked Yihong from that day on. The courtyard and her own room were guarded in shifts, but Aunt Zhao couldn't find a chance to destroy the paper talisman anyway, so she was feeling uneasy.

And this paper talisman was not destroyed immediately. After Baoyu was ready, Aunt Zhao would have the opportunity to enter and leave the room of the two of them at any time to take the thing away, but no one would think of her. Thinking of this level, he held the paper talisman in his hand early, just waiting for revenge, and when Sister Feng and Baoyu got well, he immediately handed the paper talisman to Mother Jia.

Jia Rong didn't want to get in touch with Aunt Zhao, after all, she was the biological mother of Jia Huan and Jia Tanchun, if something happened to her, their life in the mansion would not be easy for them, but the Ma Daopo Since she dared to take action against the grandma and son-in-law of Jia's family for a few taels of silver, and eliminated her opponents without anyone noticing, she was bold and did not say anything, but she did have some weird tricks, it is hard to guarantee that she would not help others deal with it in the future It is safe to get rid of such dangerous people as your own family, and even yourself, as soon as possible.

As for Aunt Zhao being involved, she was not wronged, she planned to get rid of the two of them in one fell swoop, with such a vicious heart, she is not a kind person.Even though her life in the mansion was not easy, she was still favored by Jia Zheng and had a son by her side. As long as she kept her own place, she would be able to provide for the elderly after all. It's just that this woman's heart is too small and too stupid, Did she think that without the two of them, this Jia family would belong to Jia Huan?I'm afraid that as soon as Sister Feng and Baoyu die, Jia Huan will follow in their footsteps. How can Mrs. Wang tolerate him?

In the end, this matter ended with Ma Daopo cheating money and then casting a curse to harm people. Jia Rong specially asked Jia Lian to publicize Ma Daopo's methods. Those who had been in contact with her immediately shuddered. It is this kind of witchcraft, how can Ma Daopo, who is good at witchcraft, survive?Even without the help of the Jia family, Ma Daopo soon died of illness in prison.

This incident, the Jia family made a fuss, and the entire noble family in the capital knew about it. Although Jia Rong's actions were not obvious, they also revealed a lot of gully in his chest, and fell into the eyes of those who cared. In the parents' room, a smart offspring emerged from the muddy mud.

The scandals of the Rongguo Mansion's own family should not be explained to outsiders. Only Aunt Zhao was detained in a dilapidated small courtyard behind Jia's mansion for the rest of her life, at least until Jia's family fell, and she never came out. Mrs. Wang was educated by her side. In this way, Mrs. Wang would not let Jia Huan copy the scriptures every day, and she would have to act like a loving mother. Jia Huan also gradually understood that she became more and more taciturn every day, like a log, as if she lost her child overnight. Tanchun shed a lot of tears in private because of his childlike innocence. Jia was not strict with the politicians, he was ashamed and depressed.

Jia Rong witnessed Jia Huan's transformation. Although she was a little resentful before, it was better than the twilight now. After watching for a day, she suggested to Jia's mother that she wanted to send Jia Huan to her subordinates, and she also wanted to find a family background for him.

Although Jia Mu looked down on Jia Huan, and although he was innocent in this matter, every time she saw him, she reminded Jia Mu of his mother and became more and more displeased. I don't care if I put it there, Jia Rong is willing to help, but it is not harmful to the Rongguo Mansion, so she agreed.

On the day when Jia Rong took Jia Huan away, the mansion was quiet and no one asked about it. The events of these days made everyone in Jia's mansion tired and afraid. When it became lively, they had to arrange it feebly. Several sisters gathered together. Tanchun and Xichun quietly met Jia Rong and Jia Huan, and only asked Jia Rong to take good care of them. Jia Rong didn't care. It's his own fault, but he also broke it by himself. If Jia Huan really has good luck in the future, it can be a helping hand for Tanchun who may marry far away.

The two came out silently along the garden, and along the way, they also saw a few maidservants, who smiled and saluted Jia Rong, but they were very perfunctory to Jia Huan. Jia Huan was used to it, but Jia Rong slowly lost his smiled.

When she got near the Dicui Pavilion, Jia Rong was slightly surprised when she heard "Hair..." Didn't she see Daiyu just now?How to go around in front of them?Hearing a few more conversations, he felt more and more wrong. After taking a few steps and bypassing the rockery, he saw Xue Baochai with a flushed face and thin beads of sweat, smiling and talking to a pair of maids, but the pair of maids It was very familiar, as if it was in Baoyu's room, and it suddenly dawned on me that this happened just in time for the Dicui Pavilion incident!

I couldn't help but look at Baochai carefully, she was indeed a dignified, elegant, graceful and blessed beautiful girl, in terms of appearance alone, she was no worse than Daiyu, but her eyes flashed from time to time, and there was a trace of falsehood in that dignified and easy-going temperament Jia Rong didn't like it a little bit, but from the whole body, she was much more mature than the girl from Jia's mansion and Daiyu.

Jia Rong didn't remember what this Bao girl said, but now she really heard it in her ears-"Where did you hide Miss Lin...Only did you see Miss Lin squatting here on the other side of the river playing with water? ...He saw it, turned eastward and disappeared, don't hide in it... must have gone into the cave again, met a snake, just took a bite..."

These words are nothing at first glance, but when you look carefully, they are sinister and have pointed meanings. It is rare for such a boudoir daughter, who is only in her teens, to have such a scheming mind, and instantly think of the golden cicada getting out of her shell to set the blame As for the series of schemes to sow discord, even men don't have such quick and ruthless methods as hers. It's just that Xichun always said that she likes to act like a good sister in front of Daiyu. A character who doesn't blink!

The two maids in the pavilion looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but Jia Rong didn't allow her to do this, seeing her pull away after her plan was successful, she called out to her, "Wait a minute, Miss Bao!"

Baochai had seen Jia Rong and Jia Huan a long time ago, and felt a little uneasy. He didn't know if the two of them would believe his words. He wanted to leave, but he didn't want Jia Rong, who had never had any contact with her, to stop her with his mouth. Feeling flustered, he recalled that his elder brother and this man had had a few drinks, and he felt a little certain, so he stopped, with a smile on his face, his posture was extremely gentle and dignified, "But I don't know what's wrong with Brother Rong?"

But Jia Rong stared into Baochai's eyes, and said slowly, "Just now I heard that Miss Bao said she was looking for Miss Lin, and Jia Huan and I just came out of there, and my aunts and aunts gathered in the garden this morning to bid farewell to the God of Flowers. The fourth aunt teased Miss Lin to play with her aunts and aunts in the garden, we just met her at Nuanxiangwu, Miss Bao is looking for someone, so why not go to Nuanxiangwu to have a look."

After talking, Baochai's skin turned purple and white, so he had to force a smile and said, "Sister Lin is in Nuanxiangwu, so I thought I was wrong. Thank you, Brother Rong, for reminding me."

Jia Rong nodded, Baochai hurried away, and the two maids were stunned on the Dicui Pavilion. After all, it was the older, handsome and knowledgeable one who pulled the other younger one and bowed his head to Jia Rong. head, pulled Jia Huan out.

It was silent all the way before, but at this moment Jia Huan suddenly spoke, with a hint of doubt, "Why did you expose her?"

Jia Rong didn't answer immediately, and after leaving the garden, she said, "This Miss Bao has good tactics, and if she uses them on the enemy, she is admirable, but——I hate the one who uses her tricks on the people around me the most in my life." People! Didn't she keep calling Miss Lin sister?"

When Jia Huan heard this, he was thoughtful.

The matter of Jia's mansion finally came to an end. Jia Rong also planned to visit Shui Mu. Last time he gave Shui Mu some time to calm down. Mu has been recuperating at home due to illness, if he wants to see him, he has to go to Xining Palace.
