Baoyu's fear of Jia Zheng was deeply rooted in his bones. Jia Zheng was the one who scolded, scolded, and was beaten from childhood to adulthood, and even the old lady couldn't protect him.Jia Zheng is about to go into exile for five years, and Baoyu is still faintly happy that he will not have to worry about being scolded and beaten for the next five years, and then secretly spitting on his unfilial piety.

Now Jia Zheng was stroking Baoyu's head and talking softly, but Baoyu was still afraid from the bottom of his heart, and he responded in a murmur.Seeing Baoyu's appearance, Jia Zheng felt unhappy, but he was over 50 years old, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to come back after he left.I had to restrain my temper, and taught Baoyu in a good voice, "Baoyu, you have to live a good life with Baochai in the future. Change all your previous problems! In the past, you were required to study and take the imperial examination. Now you just want to take the exam, and you have no chance. .”

Jia Zheng paused, and then said to Baoyu and Jia Lan, "Fortunately, the sage didn't deprive you of your fame. You can still rely on your fame as a scholar and live a safe life. Don't give up studying. After three generations or if you encounter amnesty Naturally, people in the world can rely on the imperial examinations to get their backgrounds.”

Looking at Baoyu's ignorant look, Jia Zheng felt that the child was spoiled and didn't know anything about the world, "Baoyu, this time it's about your father and your mother, don't hold any grudges, the sage has already been kind, otherwise the whole family will be ruined." It's a crime." After a long pause, Jia Zheng whispered in the ears of the two of them: "Baoyu, Lan'er, you must remember: Losing power is just like today. Those crimes are nothing but your mother and your uncle's life. "

Then he smiled and comforted the two of them, "Don't worry, your wife and I have lived for more than 50 years, and we have enjoyed all kinds of blessings. Go, go and see your wife."

Baoyu and Jia Lan kowtow to Jia Zheng and leave.

When Mrs. Wang saw Baoyu and Jialan, she burst into tears. She held Jialan's hand and touched Baoyu's thin cheek, crying uncontrollably.It was Jia Lan who said first with tears in her eyes, "Ma'am, you have to take care."

Baoyu grabbed Mrs. Wang's sleeve and cried like a three-year-old baby. "Lan'er, you are a good boy. From now on, be filial to your mother and study hard. Baoyu, you have to listen to Baochai. If you encounter difficult things in the future, let Baochai ask your elder sister Feng."

The two nodded, and the yamen servant waited for a long time, urging the two to go on the road.

Baoyu and Jia Lan kowtowed to Mrs. Wang, and gave the prepared things to Jia Zheng and his wife. Then they watched the two suddenly aging, and were taken away by the yamen servants.

Jia Huan stood in the distance, watched Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang leave from a distance, knelt down and kowtowed three times.After he got up, Baoyu and Jialan came over.

Baoyu said, "Let's go back."

But Jia Lan said, "Uncle Huan, you should go up to see the old lady."

Jia Huan said nothing, and returned home with them.

After receiving Jia Zheng's sentence, Jia's mother stopped drinking medicine. When Baoyu sent Jia Zheng back from exile, Jia's mother took Yuanyang's hand and looked at her cabinet.Yuanyang understood what Jiamu meant, and wanted to divide up the things while she was around.

Yuanyang called Li Wan's mother and son, Baoyu and Baochai's husband and wife, and showed everyone the list that Jia's mother had drawn up earlier.Said to them: "The old lady means that while she is alive, divide the things, and you all move out. Don't wait until you don't even have these."

Baoyu refused, and Baochai did not chew.Jia Lan looked at her mother and said nothing.Li Wan pondered for a while, and said, "Listen to the old lady. The old lady has lived for 80 years, and she has eaten more salt than us. Don't let the old lady's last wish come true." He took the list from Yuanyang to Jialan. , Look, smile, take Jialan to kowtow to the old lady, and move out with things within two days.

Baoyu took Jia Mu's hand and cried, nothing but crying.It was Yuanyang and Baochai who persuaded her, and took the list in Yuanyang's hand. Seeing that it started with a second-entry house on the edge of the inner city, which was very close to her natal family, Baochai was very happy, packed up the things Jiamu gave, and sent someone back. The natal family found Xue Biao and moved out.

Aunt Zhao brought Jia Huan to the old lady's yard and cried outside the door. Yuanyang came out to greet Jia Huan and gave Jia Huan a list. The shop, and the 1000 taels of silver notes, "Master Huan, this is what the old lady divided up last year. Take your aunt and leave."

Jia Huan picked up the things and took Aunt Zhao away.

Youshi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Xichun to look at Yuanyang, Yuanyang had no choice but to say to Youshi: "The old lady arranged these things last year."

Youshi cried a lot, followed Hushi, and went to Hu's natal family.Xichun refused, so she cut her hair and went to Changcui Temple.

Yuanyang said: "Miss Si, why are you bothering? This Quicui nunnery is a family temple, and Jia's mansion was taken back by the government. It's hard to say whether this Quicui nunnery can survive."

Xichun said coldly, "Let's talk about it later."

Yuanyang stepped forward and said, "The fourth girl might as well go to Second Mistress Lian when the time comes." She turned around and went back.

Baochai moved out with Baoyu, and still came to guard Jiamu every day.Yuanyang took the last list and said to Baochai, "This is from the old lady to the second master Lian, and to the third master Cong."

Baochai took it for a look, and sent someone to send the list and things to Rongguohou's mansion.

When Jia Lian came back from a business trip, Sister Feng handed the list to Jia Lian.Jia Lian looked at it for a long time, and then said, "The old lady wants us to take care of Baoyu and them in the future."

"Master Hou, the old lady just doesn't give anything. Could it be that they don't care about anything when they ask for it at the door?"

Jia Lian thinks about it too.

The old lady and father, alas... for the sake of Rongguo Mansion, my brother died young and my mother died young.The old lady has been thinking about it for more than 20 years. Not only has the Rongguo Mansion not been carried forward, but it has also been taken back after her death. I wonder what the old lady will say when she sees her grandfather!My father and son didn't get the Rongguo Mansion. Fortunately, my father got the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, so he should be able to explain to his ancestors.But what about Jia Zheng and his son?Where is the second wife?The husband and wife went into exile, brother Zhu and sister Yuan passed away early, and I don't know what will happen to the second wife.

Jia Lian sighed for a while, and said, "Feng'er, I'll go to the Yamen tomorrow, and I'll take someone there to have a look."

Sister Feng nodded. Jia Lian grew up in front of Mother Jia. A soft-hearted person is better than a cold and heartless person.Mother Jia lived to see the fate of the Rongguo Mansion, and any revenge would be superfluous.

When Jia Lian went to Jia's mansion, Jia's mother was already dying. When Yuanyang heard that Jia Lian was coming, her eyes lit up, and Yuanyang hurriedly invited Jia Lian in.Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian, coughed a few times, muttered in her throat, and let go reluctantly, still not looking at her.

Jia Lian saw that there was no one in the house who could support him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take care of Jia Mu's funeral by himself. .Fortunately, Jiamu's birthday materials and shrouds were prepared early. Yuanyang handed over the sending money Jiamu had left for herself to Jia Lian, and stood behind Baochai.Jia Lian went to the Ministry of Rites specially for mourning and asking for leave.The reply given by the Ministry of Rites was that the brothers Jia She and She separated, and Jia She set up another branch. All the ancestral property and sacrifice land belonged to Jia Zheng.Jia Lan is the heir and grandson of Jia Daishan's family, and needs to be mourned for three years.The other grandsons of Jia's mother, such as Baoyu and Jia Huan, and her granddaughter Yingchun, like Jia Lian, kept their filial piety for one year.

After the Ministry of Household Affairs judged that Jia Lian was the grandson of Jia's mother and needed to be a filial piety, Jia Lian and Sister Feng responded to Hongyu's request and sent Jia Yun to take the life deeds of Lin Zhixiao and his wife to Yingtian Mansion, explaining that the two were from the Marquis Mansion. A minion borrowed to help.Ying Tianfu collected some favor fees, verified that the two had done nothing illegal, and handed them over to Jia Yun smoothly.After this incident, Lin Zhixiao and his wife no longer had the same mentality towards Jia Lian and Sister Feng. Even Lin Zhixiao shunned Jia Yun and was willing to follow Jia Yun as the third housekeeper.

With these two men in the Hou's house, Jia Lian felt that it was very easy to do things, and Sister Feng also felt that the addition of Lin Zhixiao's family reduced a lot of things.To Sister Ying and Brother Wei, it is just a lesson, nothing more than that people have to have real skills, and if they have skills, they can live well wherever they go.That is to do a good job as a housekeeper, and another place is still a housekeeper.

Both Sister Feng and Daiyu didn't go to worship Jiamu because they were pregnant, but Xiangyun went to Jiamu's funeral and cried bitterly, and then went home to take care of her seriously ill husband-in-law.The Shi family brothers carefully selected Wei Ruolan, a son of the family, for Xiangyun. I don't know if it was because of Xiangyun's fate, but within a year of marriage, Wei Ruolan fell ill.

Jia Lian took Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan to Jinling for burial after seven days of her lingering death. One was that the weather was getting hotter, and the other was that no one went to offer condolences or worship except for the Shijia brothers and the Jia clan. The scene of Qin Keqing's death is like clouds, like the difference between heaven and earth.Jia Lian also refused to take the risk of a sage punishing Rongfu's disobedience and wantonly organize Jiamu's funeral.And the slaves in the Rongguo Mansion had been sold long ago, and in the empty night, only Jia Lian brought the servants of the Hou's Mansion and a few grandchildren who were guarding the spirit, looking more and more intrusive.

The household department took back the Rongguo Mansion after Jia Lian's awakening, and Xichun followed Miaoyu to the south of the Yangtze River, but there was no news.Ningrong Street was also completely silent.From time to time, members of the Jia clan would come to the Marquis of Rongguo's mansion to fight the autumn breeze, but Jia Yun refused by setting up another branch.Sister Feng explained well, who didn't want to work, just waited to eat the relief of the clan, and then under the banner of the Ningrong Second Mansion, they did a lot of disgusting things.The grandchildren of Jia's mansion are all soft-hearted people, even Jia Zhen is just messing around in her own mansion, and the notoriety is more or less caused by these clansmen.

Some clansmen were not reconciled, and after Jia Lan and the others came back, they made a fuss in front of Li Wan's mother and son.Jia Lan simply invited the government to leave Jia's ancestral hall with the help of his grandfather based on the letter Jia Zheng left before he left, and also became independent.And Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan of the second room also went to the government to issue a separation document.

Before Jia Lian came back from Jiangnan, the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor, who had suffered a stroke for several months, spread from the palace.Then came a big reshuffle of the court.In such turmoil, Sister Feng and Daiyu gave birth to sons successively.When Jia Lian's filial piety period was over, the battle between the first prince and the second prince had already become fierce. However, within three to five years, the two princes left the old way of the previous dynasty, dragging down the empress and empress lingeringly in bed, while the third prince was in eighth. He died of pox at the age of one.The untimely death of the third prince caused the queen to follow her away.

It didn't take long for the sage to be happy for his great power. First, the two adult sons fought to the death, and then the third prince died.Depressed, after 13 years in power, he had no choice but to appoint the only fourth prince as the crown prince, and ordered Cheng Yin to assist the young emperor.

Sister Feng is wearing the clothes of the Duke's wife and looking at the queen mother sitting tall, who would have thought of it? !

Sometimes fate is like this,

A turning point, I don't know who got the chance, soaring into the sky;

I don't know who fulfilled who;

I don't even know who has become who's stepping stone.
