Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

Mother Jia was dizzy with anger. Before she could speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside. When everyone looked over, it was the younger servants from each family who came with the men. Unexpectedly, the men could not enter the backyard, they found their mistresses one after another, asked them to clean up, and hurriedly withdrew.

This sudden situation caused many unprepared young girls to scream and turn around to cover themselves in a hurry.On the contrary, Jia Tanchun saw that the masters in the house were already in chaos, but no one could come out to take charge of the overall situation. As a last resort, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, hoping to use his own strength to alleviate the chaos in the house a little.

Many people saw her efforts, and Niu Cheng's wife, the first-class general of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion standing next to Princess Nan'an, couldn't help saying to Princess Nan'an, "This girl is pretty good, but it's a pity that she is a concubine."

Princess Nan'an nodded, and sighed at the same time: "It's useless to be a descendant now, the Jia family... I'm afraid it will be abolished!"

"Well, who said it wasn't?"

Everyone stopped talking, and with the help of the maids and women, they quickly cleaned up, and then hurriedly led people away from Rongguo Mansion, fearing that if they were slower, they would be blocked there, I can't get out.

Looking at these people running away in embarrassment, Jia's mother couldn't bear it any longer, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Old lady!" Yuanyang exclaimed, Jia Tanchun almost fainted when he saw this scene.If anything happened to the old lady, their Jia family would really lose their backbone.

"Hurry up, let the old lady lie down, glass, go to the outer courtyard and see if you can see the people who are in charge, it is best to meet the king of Zhongchang County, ask him to be merciful, and invite the old lady to come to the doctor Look. Go!"

Glass quickly responded, and then ran out.

In the end, Glass failed to invite the imperial physician, but Mu Linlang did.

After Glass went out, half an hour later, when everyone was waiting extremely anxiously, the little eunuch who had just come to take Mrs. Wang away appeared.Tanchun and the others were overjoyed. Is this Glass seeing the King of Zhongchang County?

The little eunuch walked into the hall of Rongqing Hall, "Prince Mu is about to come in, so avoid all those who should be avoided! Don't bump into the prince at that time."

Before everyone could react, many guards with swords at their waists entered the courtyard gate, and the king of Zhongchang County Mu Linlang followed behind them.However, those guards had no intention of entering the house, which made Jia Tanchun, You Shi Li Wan and others breathe a sigh of relief.

This is Mu Linlang's third visit to Rongguo Mansion. The last time he came was when Lin Hai returned to Beijing. At that time, Jia's mother was going to pick up his sister-in-law to live in Rongguo Mansion, and he sent Lin Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion for the second time.At that time, when he was young, he had seen almost all the female family members of the Jia family, and based on his memory, the appearance of those people was all imprinted in his mind.

Mu Linlang entered the room, but she saw Jia's mother in the hall sitting sickly on the soft couch, surrounded by quite a few maidservants, those who fed water, those who played fans, she was like a lady from a rich family. old lady.

Mu Linlang glanced at the people in the room, and found that except for Li Wan who escaped with the maid, no one else moved, even Xiao Wang, who was dressed in bridal attire, still fell to the ground and refused to get up.

He went straight to find a chair that looked pleasing to the eye and sat down, then smiled and said: "Old Madam, are you okay?"

The current Mu Linlang is different from when he entered the Rongguo Mansion. He was white and tender when he was less than ten years old, with baby fat on his face and a childish look.Now Mu Linlang, who has grown a little, has already shown the elegance of a handsome man, and his appearance is even better than that of many beauties. Otherwise, why would Tu Yang's big-tailed wolf squat beside him every day to guard him? I'm afraid that one will be accidentally taken away by others.

But Mu Linlang's appearance is not effeminate, others can tell that he is a boy when they look at him, it's just that he looks extremely good.

At this time, these girls who had never seen many beautiful men blushed when they saw him. They wanted to see him but were afraid of being discovered.Even Xiao Wang, who was still crying just now, raised her head and saw the King of Zhongchang County who looked better than Pan An, her crying stopped immediately, she stood up with a blushing face, and hurriedly let her dowry maid Let's tidy up for ourselves, for fear of losing manners in front of this handsome young man in front of us.

Jia Mu only felt a burning pain in her chest, and seeing Mu Linlang who made her feel like a thorn in her back, wishing to eat his flesh and blood, she almost passed out again.I only regret not being able to kill him completely back then, and saving their Jia family from getting to where they are now!

"Can't Duke Zhongchang tell whether the old man is good or not?" With a hoarse voice, Jia's mother had to pull herself together to fight this young man who was several rounds younger than her.

"That's true. Seeing the old matriarch's ruddy complexion and bright eyes, I think he is in good shape. In this way, the king doesn't have to worry about making the old matriarch angry in the next thing."

"What do you want to do?" Jia Mu shouted sternly.

"What can this king do? It's just doing things according to the order! The so-called "eating the king's salary" is the end of the king's affairs. This king has very professional ethics." After speaking, he stood up and said solemnly with a condensed face: "The emperor said , the first rank of the Rongguo Mansion ordered his wife, Jia Shishi, to communicate with foreign officials. If she had the heart of disobedience, she should be punished according to the crime. However, I think that Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, once made great military exploits and was loyal to the court all his life. The death penalty can be avoided. From today onwards, under the command of the Jia Shi clan, Lingge will be relegated to common people. The Ningrong and Rongfu will be brought back to the imperial court. From now on, the Jia clan will move out of Ningrong Street. temple."

After a pause, Mu Linlang asked with a smile: "Old Madam, have you heard clearly?"

Jia Mu was already shaking with anger.She is an old person, she should be happy with her grandchildren, but now she is going to be kicked out of the house where she has lived for decades, and her future is uncertain, how can she be embarrassed? !

"You, you...Zhu Zi'an dare! It's not a gentleman's action to avenge one's personal revenge in public! I want to meet the emperor, and I ask the emperor to be the master of my body!"

Mu Linlang rubbed his nose, "This king is avenging his private revenge, so what can you do? This king is really not afraid of you talking! As for the emperor, he is sleeping soundly now, and he can't even wake up. Those in the palace Every one of the imperial doctors is helpless. If you can always make his old man stand up and say a few so-called fair words, I am afraid that even the uncle of the emperor will have to thank you! It is a pity that you are no longer a first-class doctor. I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the imperial city!"

"You..." Mother Jia was so angry that she couldn't speak, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Mu Linlang looked at Jia's mother in front of her, but she didn't feel the ecstasy of being revenged, even if she got revenge now, so what?His mother had been dead for many years and could never be brought back to life. It was just the heart of the survivor.

"Qin Ming, take the female relatives of the two houses and the innocent male to the prison temple and take good care of them. Remember, don't wait for them."

Qin Ming was the captain of the guard who was assigned to Tu Yang's mansion at the beginning. Over the years, he has been trained by the first-class people a lot, and his skill has gradually grown. Now he has become the captain of the Imperial Guard, and his future is limitless.

"Yes!"

At the moment, the imperial guards were all like wolves and tigers, regardless of gender, they took out an extremely long and extremely strong long rope, regardless of gender, and strung everyone into two strings.Like driving cattle, people were driven to the place where they were held.

This trip to Ningrong and Rongfu can be said to be a rewarding experience.Looking at the harvest brought by Mu Linlang, she can't see her eyes from smiling now.Although Dazhou's treasury is not as empty as it was a few years ago, who would think there is too much money?Especially since he has to manage such a big dynasty, money is everywhere!

Overnight, the once magnificent Ningrong and Rongfu disappeared.

In less than half a month, the judgments of the heads of the two governments came down, "Jia Zheng, trafficked with foreign officials, sold officials to sell nobles, bullied the weak, was unrighteous for officials, unkind for riches, indulged slaves and committed murder, cut off official positions, demoted to common people, exiled For three thousand miles, there will be no pardon.

Jia Zhen, a filial piety of the country, set up a bureau in the mansion to lure the children of the aristocratic family to gather together to gamble, forcibly occupy the wives and daughters of good people as concubines, force people to death, indulge domestic slaves to bring disaster to the village, cut down hereditary titles, travel three thousand miles, and be pardoned Unforgivable.From now on, the two will be escorted to the coast and stationed in the sea area.

The Jia Wang family, bold and unconscionable, disregarded the laws of the country, accepted the crimes of the criminals Jiangnan Zhen's family, exploited them with huge profits, forced their lives to death, and seized their orders. "

As for the instigator, Jia Shishi, because of her status as the widow of Duke Xianrong and her age, the emperor spared her from prison.Even now, in order to stop the rumors of Youyou, Jia Shishi's private house was picked out of the illegal things, and the rest were returned to Jia Mu.

As for the other male members of the Jia family, such as Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, etc., because they are still young, and now they think that they have the virtue of good life in heaven, they can't bear to commit more crimes, so they will not be investigated and locked up for half a day. After a month, it was released.

Even if this is the case for men, let alone those girls who have not yet left the cabinet and a few female relatives who don't know the inside story.

Jia Amnesty came to pick them up on the day everyone in the Jia family came out. When they saw Jia's mother, who had lost her spirit, she suddenly burst into tears. After all, she gave birth to her own mother, no matter how strange it was in the past. She was eccentric, and seeing her now, Jia She suddenly felt as if he had let go.Aside from power and money, they are nothing more than a pair of ordinary mother and son.

Originally, Jia Amnesty wanted to take Jia's mother to live in the south. After all, Jia Lian now holds a considerable official position there, and the chance of promotion is extremely high, and the days to come will be better and better.

It's a pity that Jia's mother glanced at Jia Baoyu. Although her heart was moved, she finally shook her head.Although she was partial to Jia Baoyu, she knew in her heart that Jia She took her to live because she was Jia She's mother. No matter how bad the relationship between mother and child was in the past, just a word "filial piety" could overwhelm Jia She. sky.Moreover, Jia Baoyu is a nephew after a lifetime, and there is no reason why a nephew who has become a family needs an uncle to support him.And these years, Jia Baoyu has achieved nothing, let alone has any skills. Jia's mother loves him so much that she has no choice but to refuse Jia Amnesty's invitation.

Take him to a three-entry courtyard that Jia Lian bought in the early years as a retreat, and settle the people, and leave a sum of money. , Glass, waiter, Xiren and others bought back, and at the same time bought a woman who can cook, a few women who are rough envoys, and servants in the outer courtyard.There are not many people, just enough to meet the standard of ordinary wealthy families.

As for the Jia Wang family who was used as an official slave, they couldn't buy it anymore.Previously, Jia Amnesty was thinking of buying her through Lin Hai, but this one was killing people because of too much usury. Now that she is down and out, many people have revenge and revenge.On the day of the sale, Jia Wang was stoned to death by angry people.

There are three small courtyards, Jia's mother lives in the main courtyard, Jia Baoyu and his wife occupy another one, and the rest of Li Wan's mother and son, Jia Tanchun, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law occupy one, so it is not too crowded.After settling these people down, Jia She waved his sleeves and went back to the south.

Li Wan was originally a chaste woman, and her private property had not been confiscated, but at this time she didn't want to live with Jia Mu and others anymore. It happened that when she got married, her natal family accompanied her to a small courtyard with two entrances.The day after Jia Amnesty left, she took Jia Lan to live there.

Li Wan's decision made Jia's mother want to die of anger.Today's Jia's family no longer has the splendor of the past, no income, and only Jia's mother's private money is left for ordinary expenses.Although the money in Li Wan's hands is not enough compared to Jia's mother, it is still money, isn't it?Now that she is leaving Jia's house, can Mother Jia agree?

However, now it is no longer the Rongguo Mansion where Jia's mother used to say. Li Wan's father was born in a humble family. After ten years of poverty, he was awarded a Jinshi, which made the Li family barely a clean family.Although he is not very keen on the grasp of the court, he still has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.This Grandma Zhu from the Rongguo Mansion understands that in Dazhou, those who offend Duke Zhongchang and Prince Rui will never get ahead.Although Mrs. Jia was spared from prison, isn't she now old enough to be separated from her mother and her child and her family to decline?This old lady who was born rich and prosperous all her life is only a little better than ordinary people now.

Now Li Wan is only thinking about raising her son Jia Lan. She took advantage of her family's convenience and sent Jia Lan to Dongshan Academy. , her life will be complete.
