Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

Mu Linlang immediately led the bodyguards of the imperial guards, followed by the eunuch who passed the decree, holding the decree, and headed for Ningrong Street in a mighty manner.

When I arrived under the archway on Ningrong Street, I found that someone was throwing copper coins here, attracting countless people to rush to pick them up.

"Bai Shu, go and ask, what happened?" Mu Linlang asked his servant Bai Shu to go nearby and ask about the situation.

Not long after, Bai Shu came back, "My lord, today is the day when Jia Baoyu, the grandson of the old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion, married a girl from the side branch of the Jinling Wang family. The auspicious time has just passed, and I'm afraid the Rongguo Mansion is holding a banquet."

Mu Linlang raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, "It's so good! It's just a pity that Jia Baoyu is a disaster for an innocent daughter's family. Since it's a happy event in Rongguo Mansion, I think Jia Zhen and others will be there too. It just saves our troubles, let's go! Go to the Rongguo Mansion to get someone."

"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly, and the surrounding people found that the person who came was riding a ferocious tiger, and immediately knew that the leader was the King of Zhongchang County.In view of Mu Linlang's prestige among the people, the people were grateful and respectful to him, but they were not very afraid. They knew that something big was going to happen, so they all backed away.

When I arrived at Rongguo Mansion, I saw the middle door was wide open, but there was no door or servants guarding it. I guess I went to eat wine.

Mu Linlang was not polite. He first asked some imperial guards to surround the entire Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, and then led them straight to the Rongxi Hall in the main courtyard.When I came to the main courtyard, I saw a crowd of guests, full of joy, and a voice came from a distance: "Second obeisance to the high hall..."

Mu Linlang nodded to the eunuch who was following the edict. The eunuch's surname was Wei, and he was a minor steward in the palace. After receiving the order, Eunuch Wei immediately screamed, "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was startled, and everyone present fell silent immediately, and a needle could be heard.

Eunuch Wei said again: "Wailang Jiazheng, a member of the Ministry of Rites, took over the order!"

This sound finally awakened everyone's sanity, Jia Zheng came back to his senses, and quickly ordered everyone to set up an incense table. After a while of fuss, he was finally able to receive the order.

Jia Zheng and all the guests knelt down respectfully and prepared to listen to the decree.Many people wondered in their hearts, what is the purpose of this preaching?good or bad?Isn't the virtuous concubine of the Jia family already dead?Moreover, even after the death of Concubine Xiande, she didn't come to pass the decree with such fanfare, why did she come to pass the decree again today?And it looks like King Zhongchang is the leader?Still bring those many guards?They all looked like wolves and tigers, the visitors were not kind!

But Jia Zheng didn't think about it. For him, the most important thing now is to prepare for the order.When Eunuch Wei stood facing the south, and finished reading a series of parallel, four, and six, Jia Zheng was already stunned as if struck by lightning.

Regardless of what Jia Zheng was thinking, Mu Linlang raised her hand, "Take Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen in custody, the males from Ningrong and Rongfu will be sent to prison first, and the female relatives will be temporarily locked up in the prison temple, and their property will be confiscated!"

Without saying a word, the guards stepped forward and tied up Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, and were about to escort them out.Jia Zheng finally came back to his senses, and immediately shouted: "You are wronged! My lord, I am wronged by you!"

Mu Linlang ignored Jia Zheng, walked into the front hall, and sat directly on the main seat.The people who came to congratulate Jia's family today were all from good friends with the Rongguo Mansion. The men were all watching the ceremony in the outer courtyard, while the female family members were all in the Rongqing Hall where Jia's mother lived.Mother Jia smiled reluctantly.

Speaking of Jia Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mother was worried for a long time and could not find peace.Anything she likes is either inappropriate, or people don't like her precious jade at all.In her heart, Lin Daiyu is the most suitable candidate, and Shi Xiangyun is the worst candidate. After all, both of them are considered to be from the Marquis family. In her eyes, they can barely wake up to her Baoyu.Who knew that Mrs. Wang fell in love with her niece Xue Baochai, and at the same time attracted the concubine Xiande at the same time. Because the two disagreed, they did not come to a result in the end.

Jia Baoyu was still young at that time, and Jia Mu and others thought that time would still be long, and they would always come up with the best solution. In fact, she was still thinking in her heart, whether it would be possible to make Lin Daiyu Jia Baoyu's first wife, and then make Lin Daiyu Xue Baochai married as an equal wife. In this way, one official and one businessman, her Baoyu will not have a difficult life in the future, whether in official career or life.

Who knew that Lin Daiyu got married, Xue Baochai "died young", and half a year ago, the two historians, the two marquises, were now appointed as foreign officials. In the next few years, they will be stationed in the Northwest, and they will take their wives and daughters to take up the post. Regardless of Shi Xiangyun's wishes, Take people away from the capital together.As a last resort, Mother Jia could only watch helplessly as Mrs. Wang chose a girl whose father had served as a seventh-rank county magistrate in Jinling from the offshoot of her natal family, and married her.

After thinking about it for a while, as long as Baoyu can settle down and study with peace of mind after he gets married, Jia Zheng will have hope in his family if he becomes an official in the imperial examination in the future.Baoyu's daughter-in-law's family background is not as good as that of Jia's family. In the future, Baoyu will marry more good concubines or ordinary wives who can stand on the stage. It's nothing for a man to have three wives and four concubines. There is only one direct wife in the family, it would be embarrassing to say it.

At this time, a woman stumbled in and ran in, interrupting the laughter of everyone present.

The woman almost passed out from running, and she couldn't recover for a while.Mrs. Wang is in a hurry. Today is such a good day, these people are really worrying!

"In a panic, what a formality!"

The woman almost ran out of breath, rolling her eyes. Fortunately, she didn't really faint like this. She finally calmed down a little, and then she spoke intermittently, "Old...old lady...Master and...Uncle Hezhen Was... arrested!"

All the people present were stunned.Jiamu suppressed the panic in her heart and asked, "Say! What happened!"

The woman finally got better, and hurriedly told what happened in the front yard like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

"Old lady!" A shrill scream sounded, and everyone looked over, only to see Yuanyang supporting Jia Mu who had fainted on the spot when she heard the news, and it was her who made the voice.

When everyone heard this, it turned out that King Zhongchang personally brought people to ransack the house. I'm afraid this matter will not be good. These people have always been in contact with each other, and they have heard of the shady things they did in private, especially these years. As Linlang grew up, many people knew about the relationship between him and the Jia family.For a moment, Rongqing hall was in chaos.Mrs. Wang fell to the ground and lost her mind.

Princess Nan'an was talking to Mother Jia at the time, and she was surprised to see such an accident. Fortunately, the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion had nothing to do with her. She is the tallest, glanced at Mother Jia who was still in a coma, and then at Mrs. Wang who looked as if her soul had been separated from her body. She couldn't decide whether she should continue to stay in Rongguo Mansion, or just run away?

Before Princess Nan'an could come up with a reason, another person came from the front yard.But it was Xiao Wang who was supposed to pay homage in the front yard.At this time, the little Wang family has long since lost the status of a newlywed mother, so she can't help but cry, very desolate.

As soon as I entered the Rongqing Hall, I saw Mrs. Wang at the first sight. Without thinking about anything else, I immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Wang's hair, crying and cursing: "I'm a good girl who killed a thousand swords I have been deceived by you so far! What kind of family with hairpin tassels, a family of officials and eunuchs, just got married, and the house is about to be ransacked! My life is so miserable!" This is also a pungent person, regardless of the fact that the other party has become her mother-in-law , Seeing Xiao Wang's appearance, many old people in the Rongguo Mansion couldn't help but think of the majestic Second Grandma Lian back then.

Mrs. Wang only felt a pain in her scalp, and she came back to her senses. When she heard Xiao Wang's words again, she couldn't help but get angry, "You still blame me! If you are a mourner, if you didn't marry you, why should I marry you?" Rongguo Mansion will end up in such a state! I shouldn’t have listened to your mother’s words at the beginning! My Baoyu... why is life so hard!” Mrs. Wang finally burst into tears, and her maid and companion were like a hot pot. The ants on the bed are spinning around in circles.

Just as they were in chaos, a young eunuch came over, "I found a secret room in the main room of Rongxi Hall, in which were piled up IOUs and ledgers for usury, as well as the confiscated property of the Jiangnan Zhen family. The prince has ordered that the Jia Wang family disregard the laws of the country, exploit them with huge profits, take property from criminal officials, and put them in prison to await the verdict."

Immediately, two wolf-like guards stepped forward and forked the struggling Mrs. Wang out.Xiao Wang stared blankly at the people who had gone away, and when she regained her senses, she shouted loudly.But she failed to call Mrs. Wang back, but woke up Jia Mu.

Mother Jia woke up slowly. In fact, she woke up as early as Nan'an Princess made her voice, but she couldn't think of a better solution for a while. She wanted to faint for a while and see how it would develop next.By this time, she already knew what had happened.Especially after hearing Mrs. Wang and Xiao Wang's words, she really wanted to pass out again.However, her body has always been good, and she couldn't faint even if she wanted to.

She never expected that Mrs. Wang would do something like collecting property from the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River in private. At that time, the Zhen family came to find her first. Knowing that the money was hot, she didn't accept it. At the same time, she warned Jia Wang not to take money for a while and accept these hot potatoes. Who would have thought that Jia Wang would be obedient to her!

For the umpteenth time, I regretted that Zheng'er should not have married such a prodigal bastard back then.Selling the sacrificial fields is nothing more than selling loan sharks, but the Zhen family's crime wealth has come to be collected!Even she didn't dare to do this thing, how could she have such courage!Is it because her daughter is a concubine?

All right now!If she is not dead, she will have to shed a layer of skin!

Hearing that all the female relatives present were panicked and weeping endlessly, the chest tightness was even more severe at the moment.And this little Wang, she said that Baoyu should not marry such an unworthy person, how could such a thing be worthy of her Baoyu!

"That's enough, what a shame to be crying! I'm not dead yet!" With Yuanyang's help, Mother Jia finally sat up.

Seeing that Jia Mu woke up, everyone was relieved.In the eyes of these people, as long as the old lady who has gone through three dynasties is still there, other things will no longer be a problem, and any crisis will turn into a turning point.

However, there are also a few people who are more sensitive, but they have a bad premonition in their hearts, including Princess Nan'an who just spoke out.I wanted to leave early, but I didn't have the chance, and I'm afraid that Ningrong and Rongfu are all surrounded by those vulgar soldiers, how can they, these female relatives, leave easily?

Mother Jia saw all the expressions of the crowd, and seeing that all the female relatives were dodging, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door by themselves, and they can't blame them.It's just that I really don't want to be reconciled in my heart. The Mu family's actions are too fast. If she is given a few more days, she will have the opportunity to unite with everyone and impeach those two ignorant boys.

"Everyone, our Rongguo Mansion has undergone tremendous changes today. I wonder if any of you can help my Jia family?" Mother Jia looked around at the crowd, but was disappointed to find that all of these people were either looking up at the sky or looking down at their feet. They were just different. She looked at each other.

Closing her eyes, Jia's mother said in a sarcastic tone, "You have to think clearly, we are already on the same boat, what happened to my Jia family today, maybe it will fall on your family in the future Princess Nan'an, what do you think?"

Princess Nan'an tightened the veil in her hand, hating her so much, since she was born, no one has ever dared to say a harsh word to her, let alone such a naked threat!

"The old lady is too worried. As the old lady, if you want to come to the king of Zhongchang County, you will have to make you three points, but I will go and check it out. As the saying goes, don't do bad things in your life, and don't be afraid of ghosts in the middle of the night. Knock on the door! Today's old sage is a sensible person, so as long as the old lady makes it clear to him, everything will be fine, what do you always say?"

The words of Princess Nan'an fell, and many of the female relatives kept nodding, so angry that Mother Jia almost spat out another mouthful of old blood.How many of you here don't know the grievances between her and that Mu family boy back then!When Princess Nan'an said this, it was obvious that she was slapping her in the face!But she can't really do anything to Princess Nan'an, not to mention that Princess Nan'an's status is higher than hers, at this time she has to rely on these people to lend a helping hand.
