You're Crossing the Red Mansions

Due to such a sudden change, Jia Amnesty naturally went to Dongfu to discuss with Jia Jing how to proceed in the future.Fortunately, Jia Zhensu had a lot of friends, and after several days of busy travel with Jia Lian, she finally met some clues.It turned out that this series of incidents happened because Madam Wang received the boxes kept by Zhen's family in Jiangnan and was reported.Jia Jing thought about it carefully and said, "I saw that Shengjun only confiscated the second room, and kept Baoyuhuan brother Lan Geer and the others. I don't want to make things big. But now we have to find a way to know whether the second master is worth it or not." Knowing that the matter of the second wife's ignorance of the box, if it really has nothing to do with him, we must find a way to bail him out. I think so, since Shengjun let go of Lang Geer, Baoyu, etc., it must be because he does not want to involve innocent people At this time, Jia She hated Mrs. Wang very much, and even complained about his second brother's lack of housekeeping, but what Jia Jing said was true, they were all of the same blood, and it would be hard to say in the future. It would be best if none of the Jia family was involved in this matter It's better to go in.The two of them were seriously considering where they could find a way out, when they suddenly saw Jia Zhen coming over and said, "King Zhongshun was arrested and imprisoned today because of his disrespect in front of the palace!" Mei said: "Not good!" Jia She hurriedly asked: "How do you say this? Could it be that our family is also implicated because of the princess?" Jia Jing shook his head and said: "The princess is a small matter, I am afraid that the Zhen family and the Zhongshun Palace have an affair. , if..." Before he finished speaking, Jia Amnesty suddenly understood in his heart, and said with a pale face, "If the loyal king is rebelling, the Zhen family is also in it, and the second room..." Jia Jing nodded and sighed: "That's right. I’m afraid of this.” The Zhen family decided at the beginning that they were greedy for ink, and it’s not a big deal, but if they offend Tianyan with the crime of treason, what the second room accepts will be called a coordinated rebellion, will it involve the two governments? Let's see how the emperor decides.Jia Amnesty became more and more frightened when he heard this, he slapped the table angrily and said: "This stupid woman should have given up a long time ago! She made such a catastrophe!" After saying that, she felt ashamed and burst into tears.Jia Jing quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, we are not without a chance of winning. Now that the aunt has been restored to her post, her honor and favor are still there, she should be able to speak in front of the Holy King, besides, there are still empresses in the palace. , if the sage is dissatisfied, there should be some rumors now, and there is neither admonishment nor abolition of the concubine, so there must be room for improvement." After hearing this, Jia Amnesty felt a little relieved, and Jia Jing sighed again: "Even so, the sage It’s hard to predict, let’s make some preparations, your old lady’s health is not good, don’t scare her, if there are things that need to be cleaned up, just clean up.” Jia She was silent for a while, bowed his hands and left home.

Since then, people in the Rong Mansion have been in panic. Mother Jia is still asleep, sometimes sober and sometimes confused. Mrs. Xing does not mention it every day.Li Wan took Jia Lan to the East Mansion early, and Xing Xiuyan and Baoyu had no face to live in, so they had to go to Xiaozhuaner Hutong to stay with Xing Zhong and his wife. You Xiaoxiao secretly sent Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan to Tanchun In the small house that I entrusted myself to buy.Jia Amnesty saw that people's hearts were lax, and knew that he couldn't force it, so he personally checked the property and cages. Because Mrs. Xing was pregnant and couldn't travel far, he just asked Jia Lianfeng to take Jia Cong, eldest sister, and brother Gui secretly to Ping'an Prefecture Hiding away, Jia Lian and his wife didn't want to leave, but they also knew the benefits, so they had to leave with tears in their eyes.Seeing that his children and grandchildren had been settled, Jia She said to Mrs. Xing, "I have wronged you." Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "Our sons and grandchildren are gone, and we don't have any wishes." Said: "I don't know if this in your stomach is a man or a woman, but I hope to escape this catastrophe." As soon as the words fell, I heard the trembling voices of Wang Shanbao's family outside: "Master, madam, the second aunt is back. !" After speaking, Yingchun hurriedly walked in the door with her stomach straight, Madam Xing quickly stood up and said: "My son, please slow down!" Yingchun came over and saluted in a hurry, then supported her mother's hand and said hurriedly : "My wife followed me home first to escape." Then he said to Jia She: "I have already discussed with my husband, and I have found suitable people to take care of everything in the house where I marry. Leave it to me..." Mrs. Xing was listening with tears streaming down her face, Jia She nodded and said: "In this case, Madam will go with Ying'er first, at least to keep our family." Mrs. Xing saw Jia She One person originally wanted to refuse to leave the mansion, but when Jia She talked about the child in his womb, he knew that this was the most important thing, so he couldn't refute it.Due to the urgency of time, Yingchun saw that Jia's amnesty was approved, and immediately called Wang Shanbao's family to pack the bags with Mrs. Xing, and then asked Siqi to help Mrs. Xing out together.Jia Amnesty took out a 1000 tael bank note and gave it to his daughter, and personally sent it out. Seeing their mother and daughter leaving in a carriage, he returned home lonely.

At the same time, the Ningguo Mansion was filled with a clear moonlight breeze, and Jia Zhen felt uneasy. She wanted to send Brother Yun away, but Jia Jing shook her head and said, "We are different from the West Mansion. We have not moved around these years, so don't panic. Hands and feet, which arouse others' suspicion." You Xiaoxiao listened, and persuaded from the side: "Master, think about it carefully, Brother Rong is not heard of at all in office, and he has not seen the imperial decree, so it is estimated that it is not a big deal. The master is the master, so you can rest assured." Seeing this, Jia Zhen couldn't help but calm down for now.But when Lin Ruhai returned to his post, some aristocratic families who had dropped out of Dajian Academy ran to find Xiao Rujing's connections, begging for a good confession.Xiao Rujing's temper is not good, why would he care about them, he only said that he dropped out of school that day, and the situation was critical, but he could be considerate, but when he returned today, he lost his character and shame, everyone was so scolded that they dared not Noisy at the door again.And because of the gossip outside, Xiao Rujing planned to let his son marry Xichun in advance.Jia Jing understood in his heart, and just sighed: "There is no need to be in a hurry..." Xiao Rujing smiled and said: "Why do you and I say these kind words? She is the daughter-in-law of our family, and I am very afraid that she will be wronged." Jia Jing listened, feeling infinite emotion in his heart, just nodded and said: "I remember this kindness." Because Xichun was still young, the two families discussed it They got married first and then consummated the house. Fortunately, the dowry has been prepared one after another over the years. You Xiaoxiao and Jia Zhen are also in a hurry at this time, just taking advantage of this time to concentrate on the wedding of Xichun, and to add more joy to the house.

However, Madam Fu returned to the mansion with Lin Ruhai, the first thing she did was to spend a series of house slaves who betrayed the master, and then asked someone to buy a new batch, because at that time, the emperor ordered that there was room. There was no waste in Lin's mansion, all the soft boxes and cages were there, Mrs. Fu led people to tidy up the mansion for another two days, seeing that everything was finally tidy, she hurried to Ningguo mansion.After hearing the news, You Xiaoxiao received the upper room in person, Madam Fu sat down and didn't bother to drink tea, she just said in a low voice: "Master asked me to come over and tell the mansion that the matter in the second room has nothing to do with us, just let us Don't worry." You Xiaoxiao originally wanted to ask more detailed questions, but she also knew that it was not easy for the Lin family to send such an important sentence in a critical situation, so it was not easy to look around.Waiting for Mrs. Fu to leave, she quickly passed the words to Jia Zhen.Jia Jing knew, just nodded and said nothing.

Shengjun was furious in the court hall, and there was no movement for three or five days, and everyone in the court was puzzled.Unexpectedly, two imperial edicts were issued suddenly on this day. One said that King Zhongshun wanted to rebel and usurp power, and he should kill the nine clans. King Zhongshun asked to be executed after autumn. Princess Zhongshun was young and had nothing to do with the matter. She was only deprived of her title and allowed to go out of the palace to make offerings.The second is to confiscate many Goulian families, or kill Li Xing, or exile the whole family.Feng's mansion came early to deliver the news, saying: "It's a great fortune that there is no matter between the two mansions this time." Jia Jing, Jia Zhen and others were all surprised, thinking that King Zhongshun committed a heinous crime, and it was actually borne by one person. It's really strange.Afterwards, I thought about it carefully, if there were many kings with different surnames in the current dynasty, if the holy king did too much, I would be afraid that their lips would die and their teeth would be cold, because they were afraid of causing trouble, which would lead to new disasters.Besides, King Zhongshun has always had few heirs. Except for a princess who married out, the concubine has not given birth to a son since she entered the mansion for several years.It's just that those aristocratic families who want to promote the loyalty and obedience of the king are miserable. This time they are uprooted and wiped out. It is really appalling.

When Jia Amnesty heard that the matter of King Zhongshun did not involve the two governments, he felt very comforted and hurriedly sent the letter out.Sister Jialian and Feng came back with all the people, and Mrs. Xing also hurried back. The father and son waited for everyone to meet.And because Shengjun allowed Tanchun to leave the mansion, Jia Amnesty thought it was the girl in the mansion after all, so he quickly sent someone to pick her up.It's just that after waiting for half a day, there was no sign of him. Jia Amnesty had no choice but to search around without mentioning it.Jia Jing called him over that day, and said: "Our family was lucky enough to escape a catastrophe. Fortunately, we are usually cautious. The matter of King Zhongshun is over. The second master should think of ways to rescue him, otherwise After all, it is the reputation of our family that has been damaged." Jia She said hastily: "My lord is right, I have entrusted this matter to my aunt, and I just ask him to help the second child in the face of the deceased aunt. Save him." Then he said: "I spent money to visit my second son in prison, but he only said that he didn't know anything, and made a letter of divorce with me, asking me to find a way to hand it over to Mrs. Wang... ..." Jia Jing frowned and said: "It's too late to do this at this moment. Mrs. Wang is still our daughter-in-law in name, and she also sent a letter to the empress in the palace, saying that the woman is greedy for money and foolish, begging to tear the prisoner away." Come on, let's talk about other things when we get home." Jia Amnesty said hesitantly: "This matter..." Because the Zhen family has already been convicted of treason, the four boxes of things Mrs. Wang accepted are monstrous in the eyes of those who are interested. Big crime, very difficult to deal with.Jia Jing said: "Don't worry, since the sage did not count our family in the matter of King Zhongshun, obviously he doesn't want to pursue it any further. No matter how unbearable the Wang family is, she is also the concubine's mother in the palace. Although the emperor has been indifferent to his concubine these years, But there is also some kind of friendship, as long as we insist on it and spend more money, we will get the two of them out." Jia Amnesty gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."

A few days later, Lin Ruhai sent a message, saying that Jia Zheng would come out soon, but it would take some time for Wang to come out, so everyone was relieved.Jia Amnesty sent tens of thousands of silver out because of the second room, and finally saw some light, and thanked the aunt for not mentioning it.Because the old mansion was raided, someone came to Jia Zheng's money owed outside. Jia Amnesty was going to pinch his nose to pay him off, but Mrs. Xing couldn't see it, and reminded: "Your majesty just They confiscated the old mansion without even mentioning it, and hurriedly built a wall and sold it at a discount!" Jia Amnesty thought for a while and said, "There is no other way..." Because he couldn't find a good one in a hurry. Buyer, everyone in the capital knows the whole story of this house. Although it is located in a busy downtown area, no one cares about it no matter how low the asking price is. Fortunately, Jia Lian went to find Xue Pan and coaxed a businessman from other places, thinking of buying it in Jingjin House The one who is hidden and charming, pulled the string and gave it away for 3 taels of silver.It's just that Jia Zheng owed a lot of money, including [-] taels of silver owed to Jia Amnesty. Jia Lian was annoyed when he heard this, so he came up with an idea and said, "There are still some farm shops in my second uncle's house, which were acquired when the family was separated. When I went to Shuntian Mansion to ask an official to prove that he owed something personally, the official decided to sell it and give the money to the creditor." Jia Amnesty didn't speak for a while, but Mrs. Xing said: "Lian'er It's very true, our family thinks it's unlucky to throw out our own money, so as not to be taken out by someone with a heart to talk about, which will cause a bad reputation. Besides, your second uncle will come out in the future, if you give him a piece of money After selling it clean, it will still be kept by our family in the future, why bother to bring this up? At least leave a village, and they won't be cornered in the future." Jia Lian nodded repeatedly, seeing that Jia Amnesty did not object, knowing that this matter was done, he went He ran away from the government to do business without mentioning it.

When Jia Zheng came out ten days later, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to pick him up in person.Jia's mother has become more sober these days, but her spirit is not as good as before. Seeing Jia Zheng coming in, her body was filthy and her beard turned pale. He waved his hand and said, "From now on, you don't have to ask me about the family affairs. Your brother will make the decisions." Jia Zheng suffered a lot in prison. So indifferent, his face is dull.Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked his wife to take him down to freshen up, and then he had an early discussion with Mrs. Xing, and asked Li Wan, Baoyu and his wife, Jia Huan, etc. to be called home to see the second master.Jia Zheng managed to eat a full meal, and met his son and daughter-in-law again, but Aunt Lin's expression changed immediately, and he said, "Where's Yuhua?" , Said: "When the house was raided, I sold the officials and slaves." Then seeing that he was still confused, he didn't talk to him too much. In front of everyone, he sorted out the accounts of the second room one by one, and then handed them over to Jia Zheng. .Everyone knew that the second room was in such a catastrophe that they were already poor, but they didn't expect that there was no shelter, and it was all caused by Jia Zheng alone. Hearing that he was going to look for Aunt Lin everywhere, Li Wan said immediately "I heard what the old man said clearly. Just as everyone is here, I beg the old man to make the decision to divide our family in the second room!" Baoyu was listening and was about to speak, but Xiuyan pinched him. After that, Baoyu quickly shut up.Jia Huan was silent.

Jia Amnesty had expected that the second room would fall apart, and that the whole family would be like chickens with black eyes. If they managed to get together again, something would happen, so he pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, what do you think about the second child?" I don't understand general affairs, and Mrs. Wang has always been in charge of the family, so she has no idea. Now I see that everyone is impatient, and seeing that the boss also agrees, he said: "I listen to the elder brother." Jia She saw him like this At any rate, he is the same mother and brother, so I feel a little pity for him.So he said: "You all know other things. Now there is only one farm left in the second house's public account, and there is nothing to divide the rest. In the future, whoever supports the second master will give this farm to whom. Do you accept it or not?" " Li Wan's private house has always been tightly held in her hands, and this time, apart from Mrs. Wang's heavy losses, she also lost a lot of money in the confiscation of the house. Besides, she has no money in the public office. "My lord understands what you said, and I agree with it very much." Baoyu and Jia Huan nodded together.Jia She sighed: "In this case, Brother Lang next to Grandma is still young, and Brother Huan is not married yet, so I have to hand over the second master to Baoyu. You come to claim the title deed." Baoyu didn't speak, Xiuyan He hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, and then said: "We will follow the arrangement of the Elder Master." Jia Amnesty thought for a while and said: "Although the family is separated, it is all passed down by a grandfather. I will follow you in this house." If you want to live, come if you want." Li Wan laughed and said, "My lord is merciful, but we have already separated in the two rooms, and we can't explain the various expenses if we continue to live, but it is too much." Because She is so high-spirited and honest, Xiuyan can't talk about living in it anymore. Jia Huan has a yard outside, so naturally she doesn't say anything.Seeing that everyone did not intend to stay, Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief. What he said was just to save face, since they were separated from each other, so confusion will inevitably add to the chaos in the future.Because the division was clean, he wrote a document and put his fingerprints on it. He wanted to keep everyone for dinner. Li Wan couldn't be impatient, thinking that he couldn't always live in Dongfu in the future, and he had to plan to live in the future while the division was clean. Whether to buy or rent, you have to think carefully, so you just said that you have something to do and left in a hurry.Jia Huan was about to go out with his sister-in-law, when Jia She suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Huan, do you have any news from my aunt?" Jia Huan shook his head, but Jia She didn't say anything.

When Baoyu and Xiuyan saw that everyone was walking cleanly, they had no choice but to take Jia Zheng first to live in Xiaozhuan'er Hutong temporarily.The Zhuangzi in the second room is far away in the suburbs, and it would take a few days to go there. Besides, he doesn't know everything, so he can't rush there.Baoyu wanted to ask Mrs. Jia Shewang when she would come out, but Xing Xiuyan said, "Uncle is working hard for our affairs. I know you are thinking about your wife, but all the troubles in our house are caused by your wife. You go like this Don't worry, I'll come over to ask my aunt some other day, so don't worry." Baoyu now listens to Xiuyan in everything and knows it's right, so he quickly kept silent.When going out, Mrs. Xing sent someone to secretly give Xiuyan 200 taels of silver, but Xiuyan accepted it quietly without telling everyone.

When they arrived at Xiaozhuan'er Hutong, Xing Zhong and his wife saw their daughter and his wife coming back with Jia Zheng, and their faces became more and more ugly.Xiuyan knew the temper of her parents, so she just said indifferently: "Master still has a Zhuangzi, when it's cleaned up, we can move there together." Although Xing Zhong was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to live with his daughter Talkative, and mumbled to his wife behind his back: "At first, I thought I had climbed into a rich family, but now I see a poor and a poor one, and I have to raise a master and a young master. I can't carry my shoulders and hands, and I have wronged our daughter for nothing." Xing Xing The loyal daughter-in-law was also very angry in her heart, so she couldn't get angry at her in-laws and son-in-law, so she asked Sheyue to say, "Don't boil the water yet!" What are you going to eat at night if you don’t cook at the time? A girl who can’t be a thief, only has the ability to cook the stove, if she is so lazy, she will sell it like that wonderful jade tomorrow!” Wu’er was so frightened that his face turned pale, Baoyu saw Just about to talk, Xiuyan came over and smiled and said, "Sheyue is going to clean the bed for the second master, Wu'er is here to pack up the meals. We have been making a fuss all day, so everyone should take a rest early." Looking at Baoyu, Xiuyan took Baoyu into the house and said, "Second Master, although we have separated now, we have to plan carefully in the future. I don't know the size of the Zhuangzi now, but I want to ask Let Lian's second brother go and show us how to manage it..."
