New Dream of Red Mansions

Compared with the saying that the Jia family and the Wang family calculated the money of Wang Xiyan's sister and brother together, it is a good story that the Jia family used Daiyu's money.

The Jia family took pity on the poor and the weak, took in the Lin family siblings, and raised Daiyu for many years. The Daiyu siblings were grateful and gave away most of the family property when the Jia family was in trouble. The Jia family did not want Daiyu to suffer, so they insisted on writing an IOU.

Of course, these words are not widely circulated, just a few people talk about it in private, but there are quite a few of these people, but it is much better than the well-known Xiyan sister and brother incident .

Generally speaking, people outside gossip and the person concerned is the last to know about it. Unfortunately, some people think that this is not gossip, but a compliment to the Jia family. So when one of Jia Zheng's Qing customers heard about it, he ran to Jia Zheng's face to learn his tongue. Now everyone in the whole government knows.What happened to Jia Zheng was never kept secret.

First, a few young men in the outer courtyard said it in private, and then the woman who guarded the gate heard it, and then the cleaning yard, since the girl who sweeps the floor knows, how can the big girl who is in charge of the girls not know?The big girls know it, so the master will know it too?

Xue Baochai heard the news that Yinger ran back, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, turned to look for Aunt Xue, and asked anxiously, "Mom, did you have an IOU for the money you lent Auntie?"

Aunt Xue was taken aback, not knowing why her daughter asked this, she nodded and said, "Yes, it's a total of 50 taels of silver, do you dare not pay the IOU? But why did my son ask this?"

Xue Baochai said: "I just found out that my aunt borrowed money not only from us, but also from sister Lin, and from sister Yan. I heard that uncle gave the things to aunt directly, and the money was not much, only 5 taels." Left and right, sister Lin is different, her father handed over a shop worth 50 yuan to the Jia family for safekeeping." What Xue Baochai was ashamed to say was that when she borrowed money from their family, her aunt revealed that she wanted to get married , That's why my mother borrowed 50 taels without even thinking about it, but if Daiyu also borrowed a similar amount of money, did my aunt hint to her at the time?

Then what happened to her and Daiyu?

Aunt Xue obviously thought about it too, her face was a little ugly, she patted Baochai's hand, and said: "Don't worry, Mom will pay attention, Rongguo Duke's mansion is also a prestigious family in the capital, your aunt can't borrow money or not?" return."

Baochai thinks about it too, even if the marriage fails in the end, fortunately there is an IOU, and she can finally get the money back.

Mrs. Wang was furious, she swept the things off the table with a wave of her hand, looked at Zhou Rui's family with a gloomy face, and asked in a deep voice: "That is to say, now everyone knows whether our family borrowed money to build a garden, or borrowed money?" Was it covered with Miss Lin's silver?"

Zhou Rui's family shrank their necks, nodded and said, "Yes, but not many people know about it..."

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she threw a cup at her, "Not many people know about it? How many do you know about? This matter has been spread endlessly. I have repeatedly issued five orders. Who spread the news?" Mrs. Wang turned the prayer beads in her hand and forced herself to calm down. She hadn't been so angry for a long time. When she was young, Jia Mu was very dissatisfied with her because of her temper. Since then, she began to eat fast and chant Buddha, and finally suppressed her original temper. Yes, I was really pissed off today.

Zhou Rui's family swore: "Ma'am, who in the house has the guts? The news is definitely not from our house. Could it be..." Zhou Rui's family signaled the direction of the back room.

Mrs. Wang turned cold and sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?" Although she didn't like Daiyu very much, she didn't think that Lin Daiyu would do such insidious things like scheming people behind her back. know the news.

Who else is there besides Lin Daiyu?Although this incident praised Jia's house and Daiyu on the surface, only she knew how passive this incident made her, she didn't want to write an IOU at all, and even if she did, she didn't care.The Lin family has only one orphan daughter, and there are three older brothers in front of the stepson. His name is not right, and his life will be ruined if Jia's family says a word or two. Mrs. Wang never put those children in her eyes .

Mrs. Wang twitched her eyebrows when she thought of Lin Yuan, and asked, "Could it be the three from Anping Street?"

Zhou Rui's family nodded quickly, "Ma'am, it's them, this matter is in their best interest, now everyone knows that the Jia family has borrowed money from the Lin family, and when the time comes, the young master will come to ask for it when he grows up..." These words touched Mrs. Wang Mrs. Wang held her forehead and cried out that it hurts.

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and Jin Chuan hurriedly asked someone to fetch hot water to apply it, and the room was in a hurry.

No matter how unwilling Mrs. Wang is, the situation has been settled, and she wants to do something to restore it, but Jia Zheng just put her in place with one word. It is the most detrimental to the Jia family if something happens.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to suppress her mood, but after the concubine Yuan visited her relatives, the rumors had already passed and became the facts in everyone's minds.

But Jia Mu of Rongxitang said to Yuanyang in a vague way: "I am old after all, if they want to make trouble, let them do so."

She also said that she was not partial, the old lady still favored Miss Lin in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't say no to it at this time, but she still said with a reproachful smile: "How old is the old lady? I still want to stay by the old lady's side for 30 to [-] years .”

Jia Mu smiled faintly, "Your mouth is the smartest."

Xia Li knelt at Xia Yuntian's feet, he couldn't hide his curiosity, but he still replied respectfully: "Zhao Ye's explanation was not spread too much, but everyone in the capital knows about it. "

Xia Yuntian nodded in satisfaction, "You did a good job, go down and rest."

Xia Li opened his mouth. If it was the second master, he would have asked, but it was the third master. Although the third master was naughty since he was a child, he has always been the one who speaks the truth. He didn't have the guts to ask, so he had to leave in frustration.

As soon as he went out, he was dragged away by Xia Yuan. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Xia Yuan left him, and said in a hateful voice: "You are getting more and more courageous. If it wasn't for me floating outside, you would have asked? You When will you change your temper? No wonder Master would rather bring Leng Quan by his side than use you."

Xia Li was dissatisfied and said: "Why don't you want to use me? If you want to inquire about news, don't you use me to deliver the news? There is a specialization in art, and I can't compare to Leng Quan when it comes to serving people, but if you want to inquire about information What, who among you can compare to me?"

"Okay, okay, in a word, the third master doesn't have the good temper of the second master. You used to mess around with the second master, but now you can't bring this temperament to the third master. The third master has always been fair and strict. If you want to commit a crime No one can save you."

Xia Li muttered dissatisfiedly, and finally agreed.But I still asked curiously: "Why do you think the Rongguo government offended me? Why did I attack them twice? I guess they must have offended me badly, otherwise I wouldn't be so recalcitrant." Forgive me, and both times I borrowed the words of the two girls' families."

Xia Yuan snorted coldly, Xia Li had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but after holding back for half a quarter of an hour, he still couldn't help but murmur: "Could it be that the Jia family wanted to give me a woman? That's not right, I won't be annoyed by this." This is the Duke of Zhen's mansion. I just embarrass Duke Zhen on the spot, and then I don't care about it. It's just that the people below want to vent their anger on the Lord, but I stop it. You said that he is Why?"

If he knew why, he wouldn't be here now.Xia Yuan couldn't help but slander.

Looking at the carefree and chattering brothers around him, Xia Yuan couldn't help worrying. Ever since the old master and the second master had an accident on the battlefield, they had been idle at home for three years. Master, second master has a good temper, even Xia Li is not big or small, second master never blames, but third master is very similar to uncle, they are both stable and capable, maybe because of the youngest, third master is better than uncle He was more open-minded, more courageous, and acted more vigorously. Although Xia Yuan wanted to take the initiative to fight for it, he didn't want to appear in front of the third master before he made a plan.

Thinking of the message sent to him by the Second Madam, Xia Yuan lowered his eyes. He didn't understand what the Second Madam wanted to do, but he always kept in mind that his surname was Xia, which was bestowed by the old Marquis, so his allegiance was always to Xia family.

It seems that the second lady should find a way to send a message, after all, she is the wife of the second master, and he doesn't want her to go wrong once.

At this time, Xia Yuntian was also returning to his own yard, when the Xia family's chief steward just rushed over, seeing Xia Yuntian respectfully stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, there are people in the palace, and the fifth prince is ill again, your empress will let someone Send a letter to ask you to help find a doctor."

Xia Yuntian also had some worries in his eyes, "Did you say who it is?"

"Yes, I only know that his name is Fang He, and he was still in the capital seven years ago, but he didn't know where he went after that. I heard that he is very good at gynecology and pediatric diseases, and he was recommended by Imperial Physician Wu."

"Since you are a doctor, you can't find it. Why didn't the hospital include it?"

"I don't know about this, and Imperial Physician Wu didn't say anything."

"Go and investigate. Only by finding out about his situation can we deduce where he will appear. I will also give instructions here. If I see or hear about it, I will definitely bring him back." Xia Yuntian paused and said: "Go and pass the sign to the palace. I will go to the palace tomorrow to see the three princes."

The big steward responded quickly.When Xia Yuntian went back, he took out the little things he had bought out in the past few days. The three princes, especially the third and fifth princes, liked these little things very much.
